Speaker 1: If you burn a flag, you get one year in jail.
Speaker 1: No early exits, no nothing. You get one year in jail.
Speaker 1: If you burn a flag, you get And what it
Speaker 1: does is insight to write. I hope they use that language.
Speaker 1: By the way, did that insight to riot? And you
Speaker 1: burn a flag, you get one year in jail. You
Speaker 1: don't get ten years, you don't get one month. You
Speaker 1: get one year in jail and it goes on your record.
Speaker 2: Can you feel the freedom, ladies and gentlemen, one year
Speaker 2: in prison if you burn our beloved American flag. Wow,
Speaker 2: I've never felt more patriotic in my entire life now,
Speaker 2: Setting aside the fact that the American flag, and if
Speaker 2: there is any reason to love it or cherish it
Speaker 2: for that matter, is because of what it symbolizes. Now,
Speaker 2: what does it symbolize? Well, right to self defense, free speech,
Speaker 2: all of the things enshrined to the Bill of Rights.
Speaker 2: For instance, what's one of those things that's enshrining the
Speaker 2: Bill of right? Oh, it happens to be the first amendment.
Speaker 2: It happens to be the very first thing, and it
Speaker 2: happens to be freedom of expression, which that very sad
Speaker 2: court adjudicated all the way back in nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 2: I think it was Johnson versus Texas that, in fact,
Speaker 2: flag burning, specifically American flag burning, is a constitutionally protected right.
Speaker 1: Lastly, sir, this is an executive order on flag burning
Speaker 1: that charges your attorney general. When you listen to this,
Speaker 1: this is a very point flag burning all over the country.
Speaker 1: They're burning flags all over the world. They burn the
Speaker 1: American flag, and as you know, through a very sad court.
Speaker 1: I guess it was a five to four decision. They
Speaker 1: called it freedom of speech. But there's another reason, which
Speaker 1: is perhaps much more important. It's called death. Because what
Speaker 1: happens when you burn a flag is the area goes crazy.
Speaker 1: If you have hundreds of people, they go crazy.
Speaker 2: You could do other things, you can.
Speaker 1: Burn this piece of paper, you could, and it's but
Speaker 1: when you burn the American flag, it incites riots at
Speaker 1: levels that we've never seen before. People crazy in a
Speaker 1: way both ways. There's some that are going crazy for
Speaker 1: doing it. There are others that are angry angry about
Speaker 1: them doing it.
Speaker 2: So why would Trump do this? Well, there was a
Speaker 2: major outcry just a few weeks ago that there was
Speaker 2: a ruling from a court in America that said that
Speaker 2: the Israeli flag was equal or being equated to that
Speaker 2: of being Jewish, and therefore to damage the Israeli flag
Speaker 2: could be construed as a hate crime. There's also very
Speaker 2: famous examples of people being arrested for burning gay Pride
Speaker 2: flags or doing burnouts on these painted gay Pride flag crosswalks.
Speaker 2: In most instances, though, particularly when it comes to specifically
Speaker 2: burning those flags, it was a consequence of people stealing
Speaker 2: other people's property, taking their pride flag and lighting it ablaze.
Speaker 2: It wasn't you know, people that were purchasing gay Pride
Speaker 2: flags and then letting them on fire, which would be
Speaker 2: constitutionally protected. It was the theft of that property which
Speaker 2: then made it a crime. Now there may be additional
Speaker 2: penalties that are attempted to be applied under hate crime laws,
Speaker 2: which you ought to oppose. Hate crime laws, as I've said,
Speaker 2: are a very slippery slope to the erosion of your
Speaker 2: rights and trying in the Bill of rights. This is
Speaker 2: a great example of that. And you've got Matt Walsh
Speaker 2: and Ruffo and all of the usual characters coming out
Speaker 2: in defense of Trump's executive order from a couple hours ago,
Speaker 2: and they're saying essentially that, well, we cherish and defend
Speaker 2: and protect the gay pride flag or the transflag or
Speaker 2: whatever else, so therefore the American flag should also be protected,
Speaker 2: as opposed to the obvious answer, which is that none
Speaker 2: of these pieces of cloth should have any protection. That
Speaker 2: you ought to have the right to light a blaze
Speaker 2: any of them, as long as they're your own personal
Speaker 2: property and as long as you're not doing so in
Speaker 2: a way that would jeopardize a wider forest fire or
Speaker 2: something crazy like that. That is really the reason that
Speaker 2: the American flag is valuable, right, Well, at least that's
Speaker 2: what I thought. That's the reason I thought that we
Speaker 2: pledged allegiance to it. Well, I tried not to in
Speaker 2: high school. I actually got suspended and thrown the attention
Speaker 2: because I refused to stand up. I've been a bit
Speaker 2: out of a serial with people in authority my entire
Speaker 2: life and true story. I was put in I don't
Speaker 2: know what was it Saturday school. They were not happy
Speaker 2: with me anyways. The reason that I thought that there
Speaker 2: was any reason to respect the American flag was because
Speaker 2: it was symbolic of these rights that we hold so dearly.
Speaker 2: And the reason that you would like the American flag
Speaker 2: ablaze was not to demonstrate your hatred of America or Americans,
Speaker 2: but rather the government and it's failings in defending those rights.
Speaker 2: So is the American flag actually worth defending? Well, if
Speaker 2: it's to the detriment of the rights for which it represents,
Speaker 2: then the answer must be no. And if you think otherwise,
Speaker 2: then I don't think you're actually respecting or honoring what
Speaker 2: that flag represents. And it's so disappointing every time I
Speaker 2: see a true blue, red, white and blue bleeding conservative
Speaker 2: come out in defense of these laws, these obvious infringements
Speaker 2: on our right. It was actually Supreme Court Justice Antonin
Speaker 2: Scalia who said, if it were up to me, I
Speaker 2: would put in jail every sandal wearing, scruffy bearded weirdo
Speaker 2: who burns the American flag. And then he continued, but
Speaker 2: I am not king, and then he voted against criminalizing
Speaker 2: the burning of the American flag. Wise, words, Antonin Scalia,
Speaker 2: if only as one of the more ardent conservative justices,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump would listen to your very intelligent analysis of
Speaker 2: our rights and why a law such as this should
Speaker 2: not exist. So, just to make sure that I'm being
Speaker 2: fair to Matt Walsh, let's actually read exactly what he says.
Speaker 2: He says, Yes, make it a crime to burn the
Speaker 2: American flag. Desecration of the gay Pride flag is already
Speaker 2: prosecuted as a hate crime in this country. No more
Speaker 2: double standards. If the sacred symbol of the LGBT T
Speaker 2: cult is protected, American flag should be two simple as that. Well, no,
Speaker 2: it's actually not that simple, Matt. It's not The LGBT
Speaker 2: symbol should not be cherished and protected either. That's the
Speaker 2: obvious answer here. So while I agree with your critique
Speaker 2: of these laws that put special protections around symbols of
Speaker 2: ideologies which you disagree with, and I totally respect your
Speaker 2: opinion on that, Well, the answer is not to then
Speaker 2: apply the same unconstitutional, what I think are clearly illegal laws,
Speaker 2: especially the fact that Trump's is doing this by executive order.
Speaker 2: How the fuck are you crafting laws via FIAT as
Speaker 2: the executive that could actually put Americans in prison? When
Speaker 2: did we start doing that? That the president is able
Speaker 2: to just criminalize things willy nilly seems pretty absurd. But
Speaker 2: as I said, the obvious answer is to make it
Speaker 2: so that there are no hate crime laws, that there
Speaker 2: are no protected pieces of cloth that represent ideologies that
Speaker 2: you hate, Because there are ideologies like the one you hold,
Speaker 2: Matt Walsh, that many in America also hate, and they
Speaker 2: would love to criminalize. And for that reason, some of
Speaker 2: them would like to ban the waving of the flag itself.
Speaker 2: Would you permit them to do so? The answer is
Speaker 2: obviously no. But yet you would then make it a
Speaker 2: law to permit them from desecrating this flag that you cherish,
Speaker 2: completely doing away with the value of that piece of
Speaker 2: cloth in the first place. Why it matters to you
Speaker 2: and to me. If that's not self defeating, I don't
Speaker 2: know what it is. So I made a post that's
Speaker 2: going kind of viral, and I said that I've never
Speaker 2: wanted to burn an American flag, but I might do
Speaker 2: it today now that Trump violated the First Amendment by
Speaker 2: making the legal I was sincere in saying that I
Speaker 2: don't think that I'll actually, you know, go buy a
Speaker 2: flag just to light on fire to make my point.
Speaker 2: But yeah, like, this was the first time in a
Speaker 2: very very long time, other than maybe during the War
Speaker 2: on Terror or something where I actually sincerely thought about
Speaker 2: it or the lockdowns. I definitely thought about it during
Speaker 2: the lockdowns. But yeah, it's when you late my rights,
Speaker 2: it makes me want to hold on to them even harder.
Speaker 2: Just as during the lockdown era, that was the first
Speaker 2: time I went and got a gun because I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: my rights, my property rights are being violated in such
Speaker 2: an overway that and totalitarian really had curfews and what
Speaker 2: time you could go out and where you could go,
Speaker 2: and I mean it was insane. It's like, yeah, all right,
Speaker 2: well I better fucking hold on to these liberties that
Speaker 2: I have left, Especially in California. At the time, it
Speaker 2: was like, well, it's very hard to acquire a gun.
Speaker 2: You better get it while you can, because I thought,
Speaker 2: who knows. If they think they can dictate what businesses
Speaker 2: can remain open and what beaches I could use, well,
Speaker 2: then they certainly could try and take whatever remaining gun
Speaker 2: rights I have in California. If you're not aware, it's
Speaker 2: already very challenging to own a firearm. So that's the
Speaker 2: same feeling I get with Donald Trump doing this and
Speaker 2: now to steal men his position. There are a lot
Speaker 2: of people that hate this country sincerely, that are like
Speaker 2: enemies of America, that are getting American flags and then
Speaker 2: lighting them blaze in protest of this country, and they're
Speaker 2: doing it in America, and that doesn't make me feel good.
Speaker 2: I don't enjoy watching people that hate me and hate
Speaker 2: this country and hate what it stands for, purchase this
Speaker 2: flag and then light it a blaze to make their point.
Speaker 2: But I'm not going to sacrifice my own ability to
Speaker 2: do so to protest my own government just to stop
Speaker 2: the people that I hate from doing something that I
Speaker 2: don't like. You understand, like, is that not obvious to
Speaker 2: everybody that if I don't have that right, then also
Speaker 2: the people in this country that are also citizens ought
Speaker 2: to have that right, because if they don't, I won't either.
Speaker 2: So with that viral post, I got a ton of replies,
Speaker 2: and granted, most people are agreeing with me, and I
Speaker 2: appreciate that, but there was a lot of you know,
Speaker 2: big all caps maga hats out there that I responded
Speaker 2: to me furious and defending Donald Trump's move. There go
Speaker 2: through some examples. They said, then you should move to
Speaker 2: another country. Most countries would unalive you for burning their flag.
Speaker 2: You just lost all your credibility. Well, sir, I don't
Speaker 2: think that's quite true. I don't think I'm gonna lose
Speaker 2: my credibility for defending the First Amendment. That would be weird,
Speaker 2: weird reason for me to lose my credibility. But sitting
Speaker 2: on aside, let's just go through the argument here. So,
Speaker 2: because I am defending the rights that are unique to America,
Speaker 2: you're going to point to a country that is less
Speaker 2: free than America to demonstrate why America should be less free?
Speaker 2: Can you not see the obvious contradiction in this argument?
Speaker 2: It's mad. I mean, there are lots of countries that
Speaker 2: wouldn't allow me to purchase a gun. Should I accept
Speaker 2: the banning of firearms in America because I couldn't buy
Speaker 2: one in I don't know, Guatemala or some shit like
Speaker 2: fuck you? And I've got a net saying. He didn't
Speaker 2: say you can't do it. You can still light it up.
Speaker 2: You can still light up our beloved flag. You'll just
Speaker 2: have to pay a penalty. Oh. One of my favorite arguments,
Speaker 2: kind of like the the masks and vax requirements. They
Speaker 2: didn't say that you have to get it. They just
Speaker 2: said that you couldn't work if you didn't. Well, that's
Speaker 2: quite kind of coercive, now, isn't it. Well, they didn't
Speaker 2: say you can't murder people, you just have to serve
Speaker 2: twenty to thirty years in prison if you do it. Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's kind of an infringement on my right to self
Speaker 2: expression when it comes to burning a flag. No, it's
Speaker 2: obviously I'm not arguing in favor of doing away with
Speaker 2: murder crimes because there's a real victim there. But there
Speaker 2: is no victim when it comes to me lighting my
Speaker 2: own personal property on fire, unless you're some Green New
Speaker 2: Deal lunatic and thinks that the carbon dioxide is an
Speaker 2: existential threat and therefore we must ban it for that reason.
Speaker 2: But that's not the argument you're making. Then this is
Speaker 2: always my favorite when shit like this happens. We've got
Speaker 2: anti Kammi Tommy, very anti communists, says, if you do
Speaker 2: it in public place, hopefully you're arrested for arson. Now,
Speaker 2: I'll admit, if I were to light anything on fire
Speaker 2: in public and jeopardize other people, then yeah, that should
Speaker 2: probably be illegal. But if I were to, as a
Speaker 2: form of protest of my government, which is literally as
Speaker 2: American as it gets, put an American flag on the
Speaker 2: sidewalk and let it on fire, you could look through
Speaker 2: the civil rights movement. You could look through the anti
Speaker 2: Vietnam protests, you could look through all protests. Basically, there
Speaker 2: are examples of American citizens peace fully lighting an American
Speaker 2: flag on fire on the street to demonstrate their very
Speaker 2: significant and sincere anger against the government's actions during that period.
Speaker 2: That should not be charged with arson. And it's incredibly
Speaker 2: ironic that a guy anti Tommy would be arguing for
Speaker 2: gulags for I don't know, insulting the honor of the state,
Speaker 2: really anti commedy. And it gets even better in his
Speaker 2: bio it says I can govern myself. Well, no, you
Speaker 2: fucking can't, tom No, you can't actually, and you're about
Speaker 2: as close to Akami as I've encountered, especially when you're
Speaker 2: describing yourself as antidad. Just disappointing, seriously, sincerely disappointing that
Speaker 2: while I would probably agree with you on ninety five
Speaker 2: percent of things, that you would describe yourself as anti
Speaker 2: communists trying to create law to defend a piece of cloth,
Speaker 2: which is to honor the government. Hello, think these things through, please,
Speaker 2: And then another line of defense has been consistently received
Speaker 2: by me, saying go into any other country and burn
Speaker 2: their flag in a public setting and come back if
Speaker 2: you make it back and tell us how that worked
Speaker 2: out for you. That's not the fucking point here, ladies
Speaker 2: and gentlemen. I'm not going into some other foreign country
Speaker 2: and doing this, and you're right, I probably would be
Speaker 2: arrested and jailed for doing so. But that's because those
Speaker 2: countries suck. That's because they're not America. That's because they
Speaker 2: don't have our rights enshrined as America does. And you're
Speaker 2: arguing that because those other countries which suck, don't have
Speaker 2: these rights, we should also suck. What the fuck are
Speaker 2: you talking about? Think about what you're saying. And then
Speaker 2: her defense of that is that there's some BS charges
Speaker 2: that were brought where this guy was facing fifteen years
Speaker 2: in Iowa jail for burning a Pride flag. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: but I don't agree with those laws. And then I
Speaker 2: ask her and she says, yeah, I don't agree with
Speaker 2: those laws either. It's like, okay, well, then we're on
Speaker 2: the same page here. Those are bullshit laws, because there
Speaker 2: should be no piece of cloth that you can't light
Speaker 2: a blaze in protest that would cause you to serve
Speaker 2: significant prison time. This is madness. But that you're arguing
Speaker 2: because of these bullshit laws, that we should have additional
Speaker 2: bullshit laws defend the piece of cloth that you value.
Speaker 2: Come on, now, while Trump said very explicitly that if
Speaker 2: you burn a flag, you're going to prison for a year,
Speaker 2: he then turns to his assistant to basically detail what
Speaker 2: it's about, and he is not making it that overt. Basically,
Speaker 2: what they're doing is they're crafting a law to try
Speaker 2: and circumvent your First Amendment rights. So let's go through
Speaker 2: the executive order and read it to make sure that
Speaker 2: we're not being Pannikins says. Prosecuting burning of the American
Speaker 2: Flag Executive Order August twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, which
Speaker 2: is today says, by the authority vested to me as
Speaker 2: President by the Constitution and the laws of the United
Speaker 2: States of America is hereby ordered. God damn it. That
Speaker 2: makes me angry when you sign off on an executive
Speaker 2: order that violates the Constitution, saying that you're doing this
Speaker 2: under the authority vested to you by the Constitution. Disgusting
Speaker 2: Section one purpose. American flag is the most sacred and
Speaker 2: cherish symbol of the United States of America and of
Speaker 2: American freedom, identity, and strength. I would argue its bill
Speaker 2: of rights, but whatever, Over nearly two and a half centuries,
Speaker 2: many thousands of American patriots have fought, bled and died
Speaker 2: to keep the stars and stripes waving proudly. The American
Speaker 2: flag is a special symbol in our national life that
Speaker 2: should unite and represent all Americans of every background and
Speaker 2: walk of life. Desecrating it is uniquely offensive and provocative.
Speaker 2: It is a statement of contempt, hostility, and violence against
Speaker 2: our nation, the clearest possible expression of opposition to the
Speaker 2: political union that preserves our rights, liberty, and security. Well
Speaker 2: what are some of those rights that it's preserving. Freedom
Speaker 2: of expression, protest, right to redress your grievances against your government.
Speaker 2: Well I can't do that now because of this executive order.
Speaker 2: Burning this representation of America may incite violence and riot. Yeah,
Speaker 2: well you could do a lot of things that might
Speaker 2: incite violence and riots. Are we just going to ban
Speaker 2: all of that that? This is actually a really important point.
Speaker 2: Murray Rothbart talked about this, and I agree with Rothbart,
Speaker 2: not surprisingly because I agree with him on basically everything.
Speaker 2: Incitement laws are bullshit, Like, if you this is especially
Speaker 2: for a Trump supporter, given that so many of the
Speaker 2: people that were prosecuted on J six were prosecuted for
Speaker 2: incitement of a riot. It's like, if you riot and
Speaker 2: you burn stuff and you're violent towards people, yes, that
Speaker 2: should all be criminalized. If you are saying things that
Speaker 2: get a crowd riled up and then they go commit crimes,
Speaker 2: did you eliminate human volition? Are they now just your puppets?
Speaker 2: It's absurd, but this is how they essentially go after
Speaker 2: speech that the government doesn't like because of the actions
Speaker 2: of people that aren't you. I don't think that that's
Speaker 2: just at all personal continuing, American flag burning is also
Speaker 2: used by groups of foreign nationals as a calculated act
Speaker 2: to intimidate and threaten violence against Americans because of their
Speaker 2: nationality in place of birth. Well, that sounds like safe
Speaker 2: space bullshit to me. But also, if these are foreign nationals,
Speaker 2: why are they here? Didn't you campaign on deporting these people?
Speaker 2: So if they're here burning the flag, shouldn't they be
Speaker 2: deported not because they're burning the flag, but because they're
Speaker 2: here illegally? So do we have to have laws to
Speaker 2: protect the flag when these people shouldn't even be here
Speaker 2: in the first place, I guess you just don't plan
Speaker 2: on deporting them, continuing, notwithstanding the Supreme Court's ruling on
Speaker 2: First Amendment protections, the Court has never held that American
Speaker 2: flag desecration conducted in a manner that is likely to
Speaker 2: incite imminent lawless action, or that in an action amounting
Speaker 2: to fighting words, is constitutionally protected. So there's the work around.
Speaker 2: They're basically acknowledging that, yes, it is your constitutional right
Speaker 2: to burn the American flag. They are then arguing that
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court has not ruled on whether or not
Speaker 2: burning it in an attempt to incite a riot. I
Speaker 2: guess or violence would therefore be constitutional to outlaw and
Speaker 2: criminalize and prosecute cases of that. I don't know how
Speaker 2: you're going to prove that someone is lighting the American
Speaker 2: flag on fire with the intention of inciting riots and violence.
Speaker 2: But that's there are that they're gone for, he continues,
Speaker 2: My administration will act to restore respect and sanctity to
Speaker 2: the American flag and prosecute those who incite violence or
Speaker 2: otherwise violate our laws while desecrating the symbol of our
Speaker 2: country to the fullest extent permissible under any available authority.
Speaker 2: Section two, Measures to combat desecration of the American Flag.
Speaker 2: The Attorney General shall prioritize the enforcement, to the fullest
Speaker 2: extent possible of our nation's criminal and civil laws against
Speaker 2: acts of American flag desecration that violate applicable content neutral
Speaker 2: laws while causing harm unrelated to expression consistent with the
Speaker 2: First Amendment. This may include, but is not limited to,
Speaker 2: violent crimes, hate crimes, a legal discrimination against American citizens
Speaker 2: or other violations of American civil rights, and crimes against
Speaker 2: property and the peace, as well as conspiracies and attempts
Speaker 2: to violate and aiding and abetting others to violate such laws.
Speaker 2: In cases where the Department of Justice or another executive
Speaker 2: department or agency determine that an instance of American flag
Speaker 2: desecration may violate an applicable state or local law, such
Speaker 2: as open burning restrictions, disorderly conduct laws, or destruction of
Speaker 2: property laws, the agency shall refer the matter to a
Speaker 2: pro bread state or local authority for potential action. I
Speaker 2: don't have a problem with that one. I mean, if
Speaker 2: you're burning someone else's flag and their property, or you're
Speaker 2: lighting it on fire and then you're damaging someone else's property,
Speaker 2: then you ought to be responsible for that. That makes sense,
Speaker 2: but that's not you know, that should be the limiting
Speaker 2: principle there See, to the maximum extent permitted by the Constitution,
Speaker 2: the Attorney General shall vigorously prosecute those who violate our
Speaker 2: laws in ways that involve desecrating the American Flag, and
Speaker 2: may pursue litigation to clarify the scope of the First
Speaker 2: Amendment exceptions in this area. Well, that's notable because it
Speaker 2: sounds as if they are pushing this EO to challenge
Speaker 2: that ruling from nineteen eighty nine Johnson Verse Texas as
Speaker 2: to whether or not burning the American flag is constitutional
Speaker 2: at all. So that would be very bad if that
Speaker 2: were to happen. D Secretary of State, the AG and
Speaker 2: the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting within their respective authorities,
Speaker 2: shall deny, prohibit, terminate, or revoke visas, residents permits, naturalization proceedings,
Speaker 2: and other immigration benefits, or seek removal from the United
Speaker 2: States where wherever there has been an appropriate determination that
Speaker 2: foreign nationals have engaged in American flag desecration activity under
Speaker 2: circumstances that permit the exercise of such remedies. Pursuant to
Speaker 2: federal law. So essentially, they're saying they're going to use
Speaker 2: these laws to deport people that are here that are
Speaker 2: not citizens, so not just illegal immigrants, but people on
Speaker 2: visas too. It sounds like, so this is just a
Speaker 2: continuation of this policy that they seem to be trying
Speaker 2: to use to get rid of not just illegal immigrants,
Speaker 2: but also foreign nationals that are here legally. So well, Trump,
Speaker 2: who is this just extraordinary hawk against China? Which in
Speaker 2: some ways I understand that, but in other ways I
Speaker 2: totally disagree. I don't want to go down the real
Speaker 2: antagonistic war path with them. But yeah, he's saying, six
Speaker 2: hundred thousand Chinese students annually are going to be allowed
Speaker 2: to come to America.
Speaker 1: President, she would like me to come to China. It's
Speaker 1: a very important relationship. As you know, we're taking a
Speaker 1: lot of money and from China because of the tariffs
Speaker 1: and different things, and it's a very important relationship. We're
Speaker 1: going to get along good with China. I hear so
Speaker 1: many stories about we're not going to allow their students.
Speaker 1: So now we're going to allow their students to come,
Speaker 1: and we're going to allow It's very important, six hundred
Speaker 1: thousand students. It's very important. But we're going to get
Speaker 1: along with China. But it's a different relationship that we
Speaker 1: have now with China. It's a much better relationship economically
Speaker 1: than it was before. With Biden. What he allowed that,
Speaker 1: I mean, they just took him to the trainers, you know.
Speaker 2: And it's like, I just don't know how his supporter's square.
Speaker 2: And I know many of his supporters are upset about this,
Speaker 2: so let me be clear about that. But I don't
Speaker 2: know how his supporters square his antagonistic talk about China.
Speaker 2: They're basically stealing rip and terrible trade deals and taking
Speaker 2: advantage of us, and also about to take on Taiwan
Speaker 2: and also responsible for the creation of COVID and blah
Speaker 2: blah blah, on and on and on, and human rights
Speaker 2: violations and everything else. And also he's a borderhawk simultaneously
Speaker 2: and saying he's going to deport millions of people, but
Speaker 2: then also this country, who's our number one adversary. If
Speaker 2: you talk to Trump in any of his inner circle,
Speaker 2: we're going to let six hundred thousand four nationals from
Speaker 2: China come and study here. I would love to have
Speaker 2: a real journalist in that room to actually ask a
Speaker 2: fucking question, which would be novel because that never happens,
Speaker 2: as to like, what are we doing? Are they our
Speaker 2: enemy or aren't they And if they are our enemy,
Speaker 2: why are you letting them in? And if they're not
Speaker 2: our enemy? Okay, well then yeah, sure you're letting them in,
Speaker 2: and that makes sense. But also you said that you
Speaker 2: were gonna have mass deportations, but you're still letting six
Speaker 2: hundred thousand people from this country that we allegedly are
Speaker 2: top enemy. And what's the rationale. It's all so fucking
Speaker 2: convoluted and confusing and misleading. I don't know how people
Speaker 2: square it. I really don't. Let's listen to the last
Speaker 2: bit of his press conference.
Speaker 1: The people in this country don't want to see our
Speaker 1: American flag burned and spit on, and by people that
Speaker 1: are in many cases paid agitators. They're paid by the
Speaker 1: radical left to do it. You talk to these people,
Speaker 1: they don't even know half of them, don't even know
Speaker 1: what they're doing. They gave me money to do this.
Speaker 1: I see the same things that did the bad people
Speaker 1: that are trying to destroy a nation.
Speaker 2: The obvious answer there is prosecute the people that are
Speaker 2: funding fucking riots due why are you not doing that.
Speaker 2: I haven't heard of any charges being brought. If anybody
Speaker 2: is aware, please drop in the chattel. I'll certainly look
Speaker 2: into it. But that's the answer. If you want to
Speaker 2: make the argument that Soros or whoever else whatever fucking
Speaker 2: NGO network is arming and funding these terrorsts, well that
Speaker 2: happens more overseas than it does here. But certainly there
Speaker 2: are funding operations that are ran to create domestic protests
Speaker 2: like color revolutions happen in America too. Hate to break
Speaker 2: it to you, and I think they're front to buy
Speaker 2: our own government. But setting that aside, to prosecute that,
Speaker 2: you don't have to criminalize American citizens burning their own
Speaker 2: flag to deal with that problem. So once again missing
Speaker 2: the mark, missing the target, and diminishing our rights to
Speaker 2: then defend a piece of cloth that no longer represents
Speaker 2: the rights that I hold, deer, that's the whole reason
Speaker 2: that there's value in the fucking piece of cloth in
Speaker 2: the first place. If you diminish that, then I don't honor,
Speaker 2: I don't respect, I will not worship a piece of
Speaker 2: cloth that doesn't represent the values that it's supposed to.
Speaker 2: So you're actually making me not respect and appreciate the
Speaker 2: American flag because of what you're doing, because of your
Speaker 2: actions today, because of the EO that you just signed.
Speaker 2: Do you understand is this not obvious? So there you
Speaker 2: have it. We're gonna tread the Bill of Rights to
Speaker 2: defend the flag that the flag is supposed to represent
Speaker 2: those rights. Look, it's just fucking bloomer con garbage, nott Walls, churs, Trump, fuck.
Speaker 2: I hate this stuff and I just I cannot stand it.
Speaker 2: They augh. Look, I don't want there to be defended
Speaker 2: pieces of cloth of foreign nations, Israel, or ideologies that
Speaker 2: I don't agree with, the TQ plus elementop shit. And
Speaker 2: also despite the fact that I love America and what
Speaker 2: the American flag is supposed to represent, I absolutely have
Speaker 2: a god given right to redress my grievances, to light
Speaker 2: that fucking flag on fire if I so choose, especially
Speaker 2: if my government is behaving in a tyrannical or totalitarian fashion,
Speaker 2: which they have in recent memory. You will not criminalize that.
Speaker 2: And as far as I'm concerned, America would be a
Speaker 2: far better country and in a far better place if
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand people went to DC to protest this
Speaker 2: EO today, Like, that's how I feel about it. Now.
Speaker 2: Is this the biggest deal in the world. No, it's not.
Speaker 2: But it is just a microcosm of the broader infringements
Speaker 2: on our rights that we've been languishing under for fucking decades,
Speaker 2: really one hundred plus years. It's sick, it's disgusting, it's reprehensible.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I fucking voted for Trump, and no I
Speaker 2: don't agree with this. I hate it, just as I
Speaker 2: hated and spoke out very loudly against his decision to
Speaker 2: bomb Moran. It's terrible. Doesn't mean that I'm a Democrat.
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that Kamala Harris would have been a
Speaker 2: better option. Still not arguing that, still don't think it's true.
Speaker 2: I think she would have done dumb shit like this too.
Speaker 2: But this is just bad. This is like red meat
Speaker 2: to the most unthinking aspects of his base. By the way,
Speaker 2: the same people that would deface the American flag by
Speaker 2: putting the fucking thin blue line on it, those are
Speaker 2: the people that would probably be the first to line
Speaker 2: up to sign on to this EO saying that you
Speaker 2: cannot burn the flag you're desecrating it, dumbfuck Hello, Uh sorry,
Speaker 2: I've I got a lot of really angry replies to
Speaker 2: my posts and I think it triggered me a bit.
Speaker 2: So this is more self care and therapy to get
Speaker 2: this all off my chest. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it,
Speaker 2: and I hope you agree. If you don't tell me
Speaker 2: why I'm wrong, drop it down below. I do read them,
Speaker 2: I do reply. Try not to be insulting. I will
Speaker 2: block you, but feel free to reply and let me
Speaker 2: know why I'm wrong. Why is burning the American flag,
Speaker 2: which is symbolic of our god given fucking rights, a
Speaker 2: way to defend our god given rights by getting rid
Speaker 2: of those rights? Good luck? Good luck making that argument
Speaker 2: to me. But I welcome you to try. If you'd

Speaker 2: by the way, I accidentally there was an update on streamyard.
Speaker 2: You can anybody else that uses streamer, I could verify this.
Speaker 2: There was an update on stream yard that put in
Speaker 2: a face filter, and I did not recognize that it
Speaker 2: was turned on when I did my episode yesterday. So
Speaker 2: by the time I realized, I was like, dude, I'm
Speaker 2: looking fucking pretty today. And then I see the comments
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, yeah, there is a face filter on. Oops.
Speaker 2: But I wasn't going to rerecord the episode, you know,
Speaker 2: so you have one one episode of me looking like
Speaker 2: an ethought with all of my lines and you know,
Speaker 2: blemishes and shit shown to the world or hidden from
Speaker 2: the world. Now now you get to see them again.
Speaker 2: So I hope you're fucking happy. You guys are merciless. Man.
Speaker 2: I honestly did not put it on. I did not
Speaker 2: mean to have it on, but I wasn't going to record,
Speaker 2: you know, another episode just to get rid of that filter.
Speaker 2: So you can clown on me. I don't give a shit.
Speaker 2: It's funny, but yeah, now you get to see that
Speaker 2: real me, as ugly and pretty as I can be.
Speaker 2: Thank you, guys, I'll see you so pease.
