america are burning as you guys know in chicago they had to raise the the bridges so they didn't have people going downtown new york portland still i mean everywhere is going absolutely bonkers it's it's wild to see and it's really frustrating and it's really excuse me sorry it's really frustrating and it's really sad to see that this is what's going on in our american cities that these people claim that they're trying to help people that this is the that being a leftist is the right way to go about living your life and this is how they treat their cities this is how they treat their country the places that they live they go in and they destroy it they loot the businesses they say oh we're trying to protect small business and protect people so that they can live out their lives so we can have equality while they're destroying small businesses in their communities what kind of how is that fair in any sense of the word it makes absolutely no sense and so today because of this i talked with two people i talked with john doyle from the show heck off coming you guys might know him and then i talked to elijah schaefer and we did a little group chat a little group therapy session you might say and i'm going to put that on for you guys it's going to be a lot of fun i pre-recorded it so um you're gonna have to tune in and i won't be able to look at your guys comments and things while we do it but i'm gonna start that now and it was a great conversation these dudes are awesome um and with my guiding on the questions they were able to do very well with their answers so tune in guys here we go with that talking about censorship protests and the future of america and then i'll be back to take your guys's questions what's up guys thanks for tuning in to this interview we got elijah shaffer here from slightly offensive with the blaze and we got john doyle from hickoff comedy i was telling john before this that on the youtube comments he's like the most requested person to have on the show what do you think about that me you i think it's pretty epic i thought you were gonna ask elijah what he thinks he's gonna get jealous or something well we know he's jealous he's on the bottom part i'm not jealous i tell people i'm the worst show on blaze tv i already accepted that it i mean at least you take it as you know it you don't have to play any games or lie to anyone you already know that you're the worst but that's why we have you on here because this is a low budget show on prageru you know i do all this stuff myself so that's why we have you on thanks for joining us guys elijah john do great work you guys should make sure that you check them out on their social media handles which is uh on my twitter when i link this you guys can check them out but i want to talk today about all the crazy stuff that's been going on in the world right now it's been absolutely terrifying to see what these leftist people have been doing to to cities across america these so-called peaceful protesters as the left will say i saw something today talking about these antifa people where they were labeled as civil rights activists that's what they're actually doing when they go and loot a k-mart or a walmart and go in and steal all the stuff they're civil rights activists so elijah i know that you are actually there i believe in portland and some other places in dallas too what is some of the stuff that you saw are they really peaceful protesters as they say i mean yeah they are peaceful protesters uh it's similar to the use of the word peaceful in the religion of peace you know when they were peacefully beheading christians uh in syria and whatnot uh these these people sort of like reflect that and they peacefully um assault officers they throw bottles of pee uh they throw molotov cocktails at federal agents uh regularly break into starbucks i don't know what it is about starbucks but they just i guess the coffee isn't that good i agree it's really not that good and it's overpriced but i mean i just choose not to go there i don't break their windows but these people have a really weird definition of peace but i'm not surprised uh simply because they also have a weird definition of genders too so and these people like to imagine a lot of things wait hold up john was that starbucks that you're drinking right now was that was that starbucks that you have right now no oh i thought that was a starbucks copper right as elijah's talking about how terrible it is so john breaks the windows he breaks the windows of starbucks he's actually an infiltrator i've seen him with his his mask on not six feet apart breaking into starbucks that's true john tell us about why you think that these people are doing this uh well i was there in detroit when they were doing this and i was able to talk to a few of them i think that what the media will tell you about why they're doing it is sort of a protest against 400 years of oppression stemming back to when they first arrived on slave ships in 1619 and i think a lot of the antifa types have sort of co-opted this to use that aggression uh to fulfill a more radically left-wing agenda that i don't think that a lot of these people even know about i think that it's both kind of like using the same energy to fulfill a cause that's being co-opted by like you said the antifa people but it was interesting too because while i was there i'm not sure if elijah can speak to this but the energy is very like contagious and so what i saw was people that were screaming you know acab and defund the police they were all people that were actually in close proximity to the police so they could get like photo ops and get their picture taken for social media but everybody else was basically just like vibing for lack of a better term like they were all kind of there and it was like this big sort of fun thing where as we grew up in the west in a very civilized society we don't actually get to experience things like that quite often so a lot of people like coming down there just to say that they were down there and uh my favorite clip that i got from the footage that i i put on my channel was there was a young woman who was standing about maybe 50 yards away from the riot line and she was twerking and in one hand she had a glock and then in another hand she had a bottle of hennessy and then she was just like going out and having a nice little nice little time by herself and it was just like i can't believe that a woman like that is actually like feeling just the rage of her ancestors being you know channeled through her and just centuries of oppression and systemic racism and all these other things um so i think that a lot of it just stems down to opportunism like you said breaking the windows of the starbucks stores or retail stores or different banks um i don't think that these people are actually going down there because they want to see change because even if you look at it from a policy perspective literally the worst thing you could do for the black community would be defunding police or taking police out of those communities so it's just completely insane she's got the for systematic oppression martin luther king actually famously said that you know i have a dream that one day you'll be judged uh by the glock in your hand and the hennessy bottle on the other it was it was actually it's actually one of the the virtues my family lives by i think it's really important that you said how contagious it is because i'm like a huge fan of nietzsche not everything nietzsche said but you know he's talking a lot about slave morality herd morality and like religion he's had the famous line that god is dead you know we've killed him and he's not coming back so these people in my opinion i mean you can tell me what you guys think of this but that they have gotten rid of christianity christian morals within the west and so they still have to replace that with a system of beliefs whether that's the environmental movement whether that's communism or whether it's now this whole uh anti-racism blm movement it's their their religious doctrine is this this social justice this going against the the capitalism and powers it be what do you guys think about that is that what you're saying too yeah no absolutely i think that the the best example of this can be seen uh with this whole defund the police method so it looks um somewhat noble um this idea of community policing through social workers but what we find is that like these people are not actually interested in having a safer a better society they just want it to be a godless one of chaos and in seattle specifically in portland um we saw during the chas and the commune when they took over several city blocks uh specifically antifa and black lives matter and the city didn't get involved well what what did we what was going on there um was it a peaceful place no multiple people were killed uh multiple people were shot there were fights that broke out um but most importantly they had their own police department called the john brown gun club that enforced the law enforced their laws and so i think that we have to realize these people are not writers really and they're not even protesters i think they're insurrectionists um i know that might be like a little bold to say but it's not just like a religious idea i mean this is an actual constitutional ideology these people have come together with this idea of anarcho-communism which again sounds ridiculous uh but it's sort of takes the ideas of communism but with no central dogma or a leader and they want to establish these communes in these cities and develop their own successionary uh governments and then they want to just live inside of these places free with immorality and sex and drugs and you're going to find out a lot of these protests people are drinking heavily they're on their pupils are dilated they're completely loaded and in this tense i mean there was this witch sex tent that even at in chaz where these people were just giving out their bodies and in living these really licentious lascivious acts that i probably can't speak on in a family-friendly show um but all over the place and so really what you're seeing is just a nihilistic marxist development and communes all over the country and it has the support of the democrat party yeah and then you posted that video i saw i think prageru's making a video out of it actually of the the lady who said that we are we need to keep riding keep looting because it's reparations for us it is actually reparations for us to go into this starbucks and steal the overpriced coffee what do you guys think about that i think that that's kind of an ad hoc uh way to put that i don't think that that is the reparation that really would be desired if you were to look at it from an objective policy perspective and there's even an argument to be made that if you look at like who disproportionately funds welfare systems versus who disproportionately like withdraws from them you could make the argument that reparations have like largely been paid already regardless of whatever 80 000 or 50 trillion dollar like system that we need to put in place to sort of like pay those reparations back but also the idea of reparations in general i think is flawed because it assumes that the problems that the black community faces stem down to like a lack of resources as though you could just like throw money at them and then they'd be able to pull themselves out the problem is this sort of like intergenerational mentality where someone needs to be the person to like break that cycle and like resist those things and there is an argument to be made that if you are actually put in those positions it's going to be a lot harder for you to resist things like drug activity or gang activity um but someone has to have the agency to like break that cycle which is why defunding the police is such a terrible idea because if you want to bring businesses back into the community and you want the schools to be safer and if you want people to move back and invest into the community it has to be safer which is like what the job of the police is and there are things that you could do to sort of reform the police to make it the probability of them uh displaying racism or bias less likely but to just completely eliminate that and expect like social workers to be able to answer the calls of like shootings or domestic violence is just like silly and completely counterproductive but another thing about the faith thing that i wanted to talk about i really like what elijah said because it's like these people almost need it to be true which is why i think the mistake that the right makes is thinking that we can confront them with these facts and these logic in the washington post database of police shootings and think that that's gonna kind of sort of like quell their cynicism about it but elijah was there and i was there and you can see like they're actually like crying in some cases like there was a video that went viral of the young woman who was talking to a police officer and she like literally started crying and the left will take this and say it's because she's been so traumatized by police but it's like they seriously like need this to be true they have outsourced their meaning to these narratives into these these these agendas and so to even suggest that this isn't true like actually makes them emotional because like their entire being is sort of presupposing that this is correct and like this is what their purpose is i mean like you're saying these the crime is going up in all of these cities where they are defunding the police in new york and milwaukee and minneapolis and detroit like you said uh before this i mean it is literally going up in all these places when they are defunding the police the things that they are trying to push for safer communities better places for business all of this it is uh directly impacting it in the negative way in the wrong way what do you guys think about right now what's going on with some of these views that we're trying to put out there i mean prageru we got kind of i wouldn't say necessarily in trouble i was talking to john about this before the show a little bit but just that you know we were talking about a certain thing that helps people i can't even say the word because if we say the word or what it does we're going to get kicked our platform might be disbanded off of facebook we might get our account deleted if we say the word but maybe you guys can understand what i'm getting at i don't know if you can regardless we put out some videos and we got some videos deleted our twitter account got suspended and people are being censored all online right now because of putting out stuff that is different that is a different narrative than what is the mainstream agenda what are you guys thoughts on on the social media censorship right now and and what can be done yeah that's actually really easy because i know exactly what you're referring to and i was there at that event um i know but i've had my last two podcasts uh blocked by uh youtube i've had my last one removed twice the one before that was age restricted um and i have had my twitter suspended for like 48 hours in the last month um i've seen massive i've seen post taken down instagram warnings to get it deleted um i mean this is not just a random you know individual like myself just making a video and getting in trouble because i said something stupid which i'm sure you know there's things that these platforms really don't want you saying that could genuinely be harmful or hurtful but what we see today is a coordinated effort i mean facebook itself has ccp backed groups that are fact checking that are going after people and nancy pelosi said you know the chinese communist party wants bite in to win they don't want trump to win they they favor him and they're fighting for global dominance and there are powers at work that we don't even understand uh investment et cetera i mean a lot of these companies including twitter are basically owned by middle eastern and chinese investors they're not even technically american companies kind of like cruise ships which you know port in the united states but are registered in in weird countries like a cayman you know cayman island cruise ship company even though you think of it as being an american cruise ship company they find loopholes these corporations do and ultimately they care about power and money more than they care about the truth or the rights of americans uh and what we're seeing right now for some reason these people are absolutely against conservatives and right-leaning people and i want to say this on your podcast you know the right wing is a very inclusive group some people like to take the monopoly in the absolute uh and say we're the real or we're the true or we're the absolute right wing or conservatives or this or that but guys this is a big fight and if an organization decides a prageru i mean come out with millions of followers a lot of funding and a guy with that gets really expensive haircuts that has his own low budget podcast i mean this is a serious entity and if they can be taken down if they can be censored then you realize we've got to stick together we got to stop infighting we've really got to understand that ultimately we have much bigger enemies at play and i and i noticed a bold statement on with this that unfortunately are more powerful right now and greater than the republic itself which are able to actually take down and censor the speech of the president of the united states i mean this is an issue that goes way far beyond commentators and this becomes a national security and most importantly a global security issue yeah i never really get all the conservatives who say that you know oh the very conservative like free market people who say you know it's a it's a free market just create your own platform it's like these companies control so much as john here he's like oh he's one of these people i don't know we can get into you in a second but like they control so much of what we do they control the entire narrative like you said they're controlling things when it comes to voting and all of that and it's like these big tech companies claim to be a public platform they claim to be a free speech forum open to all but then they also want to be a publishing tool with editorial control right i mean they get they get stuff from the government incentives because they say that they're open to all and that they don't have political leanings but then they go and censor people or delete accounts based off of political leanings so they want to have their cake and eat it too at the same time and to me that doesn't make any sense yeah that's been something that's been hard for me to try to communicate to my audience because as conservatives were very skeptical of uh state authority and so the whole idea behind that would be that you know power corrupts and people are going to try and infiltrate your lives and take away your rights but conservatives have a very hard time of understanding that like tyrants can be private actors as well and we're so in love with the free market and capitalism as of the last like 30 years or so that we've sort of forgotten that like it's not just the government that's gonna want to make your life hard i mean it's anyone that has power and so for these companies to come in and to make my life harder and your guys lives harder and then for our audience who watches our content and watches our content be suppressed and down vote in the algorithms just be like will uh why don't you just make your own youtube why don't you just make your own it's just like so silly yeah it definitely is and like what was i gonna say that oh yeah in terms of like the i mean crony capitalism is practically socialism in a sense where we have these politicians who are being totally paid off they don't have our best interests at heart i mean there was that memo that came out with those republicans meeting with the the big tech people and they had a memo that said you know we're going to take this meeting but we're not actually going to do anything about it right it's because they're all i mean google they're all in google's back pocket they're all getting paid off republicans democrats everyone you know so it's like who are the people who are actually representing our values it's like we used to talk about in america where you can pick yourself up by your bootstraps and stuff and i still believe that's true but i think like america's being hollowed out like think about a guy who graduates from college who's our age who wants to go start a a carpentry company or something like that and it's like it's almost impossible with the amount of regulations in like a place like california you then have a home depot come and just undercut them and and steal their business it's like like that american dream is is fading away because partly of private companies mixed with the government sector it's like they're working hand-in-hand to destroy small business in this country yeah i know i i was going to say like i i think it's really interesting to see the the section of the right sort of dismiss um this lack of patriotism and nationalism and these big companies that really is genuinely screwing over our country and in giving it over to a globalist agenda um and meanwhile people are complaining i always love this when people lecture me they always go you know like you know you're this or you're a that and you're not a real this and i reel that and i'm like dude look man i'm sorry i'm too busy recovering because i broke my leg uh after getting shot point blank by a flashbang or tear gas canister i don't know what it was because it knocked me out and broke open my shin and i'm like can't run or walk like i'm sorry i'm too busy on the front lines actually fighting these people and putting my reputation and my life on the risk to sit back and argue with children uh or libertarians about how you know it's just that it's just a platform no these are not just these are not just platforms and and whatnot this is the the town square this is where our country comes together to share information just like the stock market needs regulation and there has to be control because if it's not then you could crash the entire country in fact the entire global world market which we saw in 2007 in 2008 when when these people are let free they're corrupted by their own evil desires and by their lust for money that they start working against the american people as americans just like we like the economy the economy has to work for us not against us and communication and businesses can't work against us and when our society has been corrupted into we're living in fear now we have cancer culture all of these things because of the development of social media and the absolute prowess and power they have and then the only balance that could come is dissenting voices but then dissenting voices aren't even given a platform and we are shut down and shut out it's like you have to realize at a certain point it's like you gotta start defending your country and the people of your country more than the companies themselves because these companies are not working in conjunction for your nation and libertarianism doesn't work for that reason i mean i'm not gonna offend people for that but it's like you can't completely offensive apparently people aren't slightly but there's a moral element to this people do there are evil people out there and they are they're saying well i am a company well yeah but if you're evil just like we hold criminals accountable white-collar crime exists too and what we're seeing with tech companies is the most sophisticated highest level of white-collar crime that we've ever experienced in our country yeah a lot of libertarians well i think the biggest problem with libertarian economics specifically is it divorces itself entirely from morality so like a libertarian will tell you that a year old girl selling pictures of her body on only fans is okay because you know it's a transaction it's the free markets consent based morality she should be free to do that and i i think that this idea that the narratives that are being bought and paid for by these mega corporations that convince average americans maybe not necessarily you coastal elitists but a midwest boy like myself that's uh they actually have your best interest at heart that the ccp has your best interest at heart or even that amazon and jeff bezos have your best interests at heart compared to like small business and mom and pop shops that are like drastically as well said undercut by these types of actors i i want to talk about real quick because sorry to cut you off but we're going into the the final segment i do have a a show where where i also will be talking in this show later on i won't be tuning in for that yeah that's the best part of the show okay i get to talk about my hair and aunt jemima on the wall and things like that but i talked in about about three weeks ago maybe four weeks ago in a podcast and it got a lot of traction it's been it's been real going really well is that i was talking about a vision for america that you look at the left right now and the left you know in 10 years they want to get rid of fossil fuels in 10 years they want to have the police defend in 10 years they want you know everyone trans people black people everyone have the same rights even though they already do but you know what i'm saying like they have this plan that is set out for young people right now that they get behind they're like wow like of course i graduated from college i can't get a job or i'm in tons of debt and this plan sounds great for me of course i'm going to join this the conservative platform whatever that might be doesn't have a plan so i know i'm kind of putting you on the spot to solve america's problems right now but if you had to give you know a thing or a few things of like what you would see is like a plan for conservatives moving forward that can be like tangible solutions to help people's lives and and actually get people on board with what we're doing what would you say is some of the main tenets of that nice i was gonna give it to i was he didn't no go i was trying to be nice no i'm gonna give it to him yeah i have spoken more so you go that's that's a nice way of saying that you don't have your answer prepared yeah exactly um i think that a lot of what i told you i think that a lot of the mistakes that conservatives have made have been sort of like trying to sell the idea that living in a completely free society where you are an autonomous agent to go and do whatever it is that you will will produce the best outcome for you um and i think that that idea has basically failed to sort of cement itself and that a lot of people have felt disaffected and they might be more inclined to pay attention to like what the left is offering with like basically state and forced equality so i think that conservatives need to sort of like understand what we're actually trying to conserve which is like american society and so if we started selling ideas like you should be able to graduate from high school and go get a job maybe not even go to college but even if you do pursue a college degree then you should be able to go do that without having to pay you know eighty thousand dollars for a degree and the way you would do that would be reconfiguring the loan industry and getting government out of certain aspects of that um but even like the idea of the american dream should really just be like sort of reconfigured and actualized in 21st century america because we haven't really had that as our manufacturing has completely disappeared and all these jobs have supposedly transitioned into the information economy it's very hard for like a young american to kind of look at the future and be optimistic in a way that would exist independently from something that the left is offering where it's like okay the right is basically saying you're on your own you're screwed the left is saying at least we're going to try and make this work in theory it's going to collapse but you don't know that so you may as well because i think people people fundamentally react to the a lot the amount of stress that they have in their lives and so they are inclined to pursue change like obama 2008 so like right now we've got the coronavirus we've got race riots we have all sorts of problems and so people are going to think about that when they go to vote like okay well joe biden might even offer change which i think is why the left has been like allowing us to propagate for so long is because they know that if people are stressed out they're disaffected they're disillusioned with the state of the country they're going to be inclined to like look for change and so conservatives need to address the problems that we have in society with an actual solution that that suggests that change will be made instead of just saying well you know you got to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and you just got to figure it out for yourself yeah i know i i actually i absolutely agree with that too and i think this is where one uh one thing anytime i self-identify myself as a conservative people like freak out um and i tell people you know conservatism is really interesting because in a lot of ways it's developed beyond just um the conservative party of what my parents know to where people are literally just fighting to conserve basic constitutional rights i mean really truly it's turned real it developed into a more inclusive group of people going holy crap like they're trying to take away not only our our right to bear arms but our right to free speech or freedom of religion et cetera and so this group has has developed into this more inclusive group that isn't really even conservative in the traditional sense um and a lot of people don't like that and and i tell a lot of conservatives the mistake that you're making and the reason why we're losing and and what seems to be the biggest issue is that if you think about basic economics if all you do is conserve your resources you take your seeds and you don't replant them if you hoard your money and you don't invest it you just end up kind of losing out and that's even the story of parable in the bible when people were given a certain amount of money the one who invested his money was the one who got the greatest reward the one who buried his money he was reprimanded because he didn't do anything with what he had and a lot of people are so concerned with conserving values that's like well why do you even want to conserve those values what are you trying to do with those values it's like well i want to conserve the family well why what are you going to do with a strong family why don't you propose something why don't you re-establish those values into ideas that could work for the country when you're telling people like me which is fine i'm able to pay it off i've over 100 000 in student loans well that just sucks for you you know you just signed a bad a bad loan you're like yes dude i did and i'm paying it off i'm not going to complain but also i genuinely see like with the left when they're coming to 18 year olds going they're graduating at 22 years old with 100 000 in debt with a with a degree that the loan companies and the school told them would make them a hundred grand but it doesn't you're going well i get that they're frustrated because they're 18 they're freaking morons there's a reason why they can't buy alcohol or in california they can't buy cigarettes and even in some states there's restrictions on firearms because we realize that there is a moral obligation to treat the people of this country well and the right comes off to the left and i have a lot of left-wing family as just hard-hearted people who are like too busy fighting about who's a conservative puritan to actually really genuinely offer solutions that can help people and there are real crises a student loan crisis there are real race relation issues you can't just say well all lives matter even if it's true if people don't feel that way if feelings are true they might not be the ultimate factor but if if you what you're saying is well facts don't care about your feelings and it's like well unfortunately for you half of the u.s population gives a pretty damn strong opinion on their own feelings so if you choose not to value their feelings you've just cut off half the country that's what we've done we self-isolated and we need to get out there and i think have a little more empathy and provide the truth with a little bit of we have a we have a human relations problem and actually say hey we want to help offer the solution too but it's not through just giant government bailouts giving out money and just making you dependent on on on the government yeah i've been saying that too about getting more emotional i was i'll be crying after this on on the podcast to really get people to know what we're about but actually no i mean that's a really strong thing people just caring about facts i mean of course you want to say the right information but how do you make those facts into an argument that actually you know gets down to someone's like why they would want to change their life you know telling someone about a different tax rate isn't going to make them feel too emotional how do you make those facts into something that actually makes them want to better themselves or better their life or better their family's life like you have to get a better marketing strategy in that way and i think that's something that conservatives can do a lot better where can people oh god no i was gonna say the left has been very successful at sort of contorting every policy issue into a moral argument and conservatives like to cross their arms and be like well you shouldn't be doing that that's not fair because we're just like well look at this fact look at this statistic from the department of commerce and it's like that's not as compelling people are emotional beings and we respond to emotion and that doesn't mean that you have to like sacrifice the truth to your arguments and just like say whatever you think is going to make people happy but there are ways to rhetorically strategize to make our values and our arguments be compelling to people on an emotional level john just wanted the last word it makes sense you know where can people find you guys if they if they don't know you already i guess sorry i guess i'm going first now am i always okay all right now john you go first john you go uh youtube.com john doyle twitter.com comradedoyl uh instagram johndoyle.jpg heck offcommi.com you know all the all the fun stuff i like at least you have a good name i think your name actually has become less associated with like lennon and more as it sounds like a satire to me now because i literally i don't know if you predicted you started your show that everyone would unironically be calling themselves comrades in the streets of our country because that's yeah no the idea behind it was i was looking at this and i was like there's sort of like a second red scare isn't it well i'm gonna tell the commies to heck off and then you know type slightly offensive anywhere else where you can find content um and find out what god has been sparing you from for this long so that's a good that's that's all i can say and that's that's even underselling the how bad it is he's very humble but his show is very good and he's had me on a few times and when i we're i'm working on my new mini documentary right now which we just got a a very rough cut i hope to come back on the show elijah oh yeah i'll have you back on because sometimes i wonder is there any way to make the show worse than it already is yes why did i make will [Laughter] put me on the show let's drop those ratings to zero get you uh gee deleted off youtube thank you guys so much for joining guys check them out on their different social media platforms check out their shows uh their shows that aren't as good as mine but thank you guys again for having me on or being for me hey thanks for being on youtube this has been another episode of the will wit live thank you elisha all right peace okay guys hope you enjoyed that that was fun huh about what was that about half an hour discussion between me john elijah that was the first time i've had guests on the show so it was fun for me i had to you know obviously pre-record the interview because the time that we tried to do a live interview on here if anyone remembers episode eight oh we remember taylor wasn't here i leave for one week and it just falls apart one week taylor leaves and then it all it all falls to crap so um this is why i pre-record the interviews and then put them up in the podcast i did this what about three hours ago film this so anyway it was fun before we get into the next topic that we're going to talk about today remember to drop your questions down below for me for the end of the show in about 10 minutes actually that'll be the end of the show excuse me and remember if you want to make a

a donor match five dollars as well so really helps us out keep our videos free please go to prague.com donate to help us out i saw a question on the on the podcast from a guy i think his name was boston griper i wanted to answer this question um here's a question about a guy named v-dare being censored off of youtube and and what i thought about that obviously we couldn't answer that question during a pre-recorded conversation obviously but i saw your thing and i i've seen other people ask me this and and all over twitter and everything and so i just want to say first of all i don't know what this person ever posted on their channel so i can't say that i support whatever they did you know because youtube does ban things that are considered violence things that are considered pornography um threatening towards people which you know think those are the exact same things that go against the first amendment in the sense you know if you say something violent towards someone you say something threatening someone that is not allowed so again i can't say what this channel had on it if it had anything like that if it did then it should be shut down for a reason because that obviously goes against determined standards but let's say for argument's sake that it didn't have anything like that just like any other channel that gets banned off of youtube off of any social media platform i believe every single person should have the right to be able to say what they want to say depend no matter what i mean look at the um what is the what is the organization taylor the the the lawsuit organization um it's not the naacp what is it seven poverty law center no no no it's the they fight for free speech or they did fight for free speech aclu the aclu back in the day the aclu you know they were an organization that actually had a backbone now all i see they tweet every single day it's just like um men with wombs are women or something like that like every single thing they post i see is like some trans thing anyway the aclu used to fight for free speech i mean in the 1970s there were literal nazis marching in a jewish neighborhood and of course that's a terrible thing to do but in terms of the first amendment these people had the right to be there and the aclu defended these people for having their right to be able to speak their mind as long as they're not threatening anyone or being violent right i'm someone who believes in in free speech i believe that anyone no matter what your views you should be able to have the ability to say your views and again it was like what i was talking about last week on the podcast where i talked about how you know you go on a social media platform and you see what people are saying on the platform and you say oh you know i have the i agree with this or i don't agree with this it's like yeah that's the point you should be able to go and search out information or find something of someone you don't disagree you don't agree with or you disagree with whatever and you should be able to make your own decision off of that information i mean i don't know how many times i have to say this that is what america is about is about people being able to speak their mind as long as you are not threatening someone being violent posting something disgusting as in pornographic or something like that you should be able to have a platform to speak and say your mind so that's my answer to that question because i know lots of people keep asking me that but i think everyone should have the right to be able to say what they want to say as long as it falls under the parameters of the first amendment i think that that's a a pretty fair thing i know that there are conservatives and republicans and i mean obviously leftist people out there who don't stand for that i am someone who definitely stands for the first amendment and every sense that it is fair anyway okay we already talked about the left people destroying the cities we already seen that we talked about crime going up i mean it's just been absolutely horrible what has been happening but i did want to talk about college football let's talk about college football so taylor actually he went to a big school with a very big football team are you comfortable with saying your school or no i didn't want to say it if you're not oh yeah of course okay louisiana state university lsu tigers world champions yeah i haven't lost a game in like 600 something days now so i'm still on top of the world no that's pretty cool i uh i spoke at lsu last year which was very cool i really like it new orleans is a or it's not new orleans but i stayed in new orleans for a night went uh out in uh what was the street bourbon street bourbon street yeah yeah it was just fun you know it was a good time and then went to new orleans or baton rouge the next day and spoke so it's a great city i love louisiana or it's a great state i love louisiana and i don't know why we're getting so into this anyway what i'm saying is that college football is cancelled not all of it but the the pac-12 and the big ten schools are canceling college football this year because of the coronavirus you know some people are saying oh well maybe in the spring it'll come back i don't really think that's going to be the case but college football with the big ten and the pac-12 are canceled this year and to me that is a horrible thing that they would do this i mean everyone is so scared they're so up in arms over this virus that they're going to cancel college football because of this i mean these people are first of all i'm i don't know what's going to happen with the scholarships for these students who are who got the scholarships to play football and now they're not being able to play what are they supposed to do and then think about all of the the people who depend on college football for a living you know the people who sell the snacks at the stadium so people work at the stadiums the coaches the um what's it called the sports journalists the people on tv who commentate it i mean there's tons of people who rely on this for an income and you getting rid of it for a virus that i would say is not nearly as deadly as the mainstream media wants to tell you is that it is is just absolutely ludicrous to me i mean they're shutting the i'm just so upset it's so the frustrating thing about this whole thing is that i feel so powerless when it comes to to covet because it's like you can look at the data you can look at the data over and over again the cdc data you can look at what some doctors are saying all sorts of things and you can see the truth right there it's right there for you to see and still people are so upset over it people are so scared about everything and it's like i feel so powerless that i can't do literally anything about it except for like educate people on it but you know the people for the most part sorry you guys i don't mean to diminish you by saying this but for the most part the people who are watching my show or any of my videos or stuff are not necessarily the people in charge making these huge decisions i don't know if you know president trump is like oh did you catch will wit live last week i guess we got to open up the country you know [Laughter] as much as i wish he would do that trump if you're seeing this please uh retweet anyway um but yeah so it's like you feel super powerless that there's like nothing that we can do about this and people's livelihoods are being destroyed i mean i saw the statistic the other day that it was like 75 of retail stores in los angeles are closed and like 50 of all retail stores are not going to even be able to reopen in los angeles because of this pandemic right the pandemic is killing more people than the actual viruses in my opinion i think that's definitely the truth and so it's very frustrating to see that there is actually nothing that we can do about it clay travis had a good tweet he said it is brave to find a way to play in the face of danger it is brave to acknowledge risk and overcome it it is not brave to see risk and refuse to ever confront it instead of this goes i don't even need to bring this up i'm talking about my mini documentary a little bit but it's not important it's like you could be looking for practical solutions to make it more safe for people to be able to play the sport right you make it so that the players get a test before they go and play or they get uh you know they do a temperature chest temperature temperature test whatever it might be before they go and play you don't you have different kind of capacities that you can have in the stands but you can still have most of the people be able to to freely have the sport played but instead of looking for practical solutions for these kind of things they just say nope we're shutting it all down and there's not going to be any second thought about it and that's just what's going to happen and there's literally nothing you can do about it there's nothing you can do to save your job if you depend on it it's just how it is that's just it and so yeah it's like instead of looking for solutions we just look for the easiest way out because they're scared they're scared of the mob coming after them they're scared of people coming and saying you're killing kids by keeping it by keeping college football open they're too scared of that they're too scared to stand up that they're willing to just shut it all down with no practical solution that they're going to put in place so i think there's going to be a huge blowback from this i mean taylor and i were talking to us before about what this is like that the colleges are if it's with the scholarships they're going to be giving out scholarships to the the students who aren't going to be playing so the schools aren't going to be making any money but they still have to give the scholarships out and then less people are going to go to college as well because of the pandemic so how are they going to be able to do any of this i mean it's going to excuse me erupt into a a huge deal i can imagine so i don't know what's going to happen super sad um i'm guessing that this will happen with a lot more college sports this won't be the last time we hear about coronavirus canceling college sports in the future so just get ready my favorite sport disc golf i'm sure they're going to cancel the the playing on that which is a really sad thing if they cancel college badminton that's that's right that's that'll that crosses the line okay can we get into some of the questions did you guys ask questions today i would love to to answer some of your guys's questions wow nancy nancy i i look at the comments i can't i don't know your name i mean i know that it's nancy but i don't know how to say your last name and i saw you commented about your name is it hotchdurffer nancy hotsturfer is that how you say it nancy if i'm wrong please let me know if i'm wrong but i'm going to say nancy hotsturfer question for will do you choose your own bandanas yes i do you most people say wow well how could you you must have a stylist you must have a team of people come and style you before your podcast every day right you look so good and i say no you know i i do this myself people think that i have a team of people but no it's just just me she also said i play badminton for the first time the other day and you have never been more right in your life that game is far superior to other sports thank you nancy i know it's the best sport there is badminton i love badminton monica z said can the left-wing liberals actually participate in logical thought processes monica i don't mean to be rude to you by saying this but these kinds of questions aren't helping anyone when we ask them it it makes it seem like like that they're doing everything that they do because they're stupid or they can't think these people aren't stupid the left is not stupid they're misguided they're misinformed when i go on my college campus interviews and i talk to people i'm not you know i don't think that these students are stupid i mean of course there are some things that are just absolutely ridiculous and you're like okay that's insane but for the most part they're just miseducated they're misinformed they're brainwashed by the left you know so i think that many of these people can participate in logical thought processes i think 99 percent of them can if they just get the proper tools that's why it's so important that prageru doesn't get censored this is why they want to prager you because we are that tool we are that tool to get to people to actually make them change their minds i mean i was someone who was more liberal before and then changed my mind you know so i don't know necessarily i don't i don't really like that question because it makes it seem like we're all thinking they're all stupid and i don't think that's fair to say i think we should say that they are brainwashed and that we want to actually you know bring them over to to our side not necessarily just try and beat them like that um okay madison p question for will how can i get my voice heard more i share my opinions on instagram but i want to do more also hi from california hi madison from california nice to see you you have to keep speaking out which is very important but you should join pragerforce if you're a student you should join pragerforce which is our student program because pragerforce gives you the tools so that you can actually speak out taylor if you want to put the prager force in the chats right now so that people can click the link there to go and apply if you're a student middle school high school college um post grad you know just out of college uh we would love to have you in prager force where almost 10 000 strong people across the world you get digital marketing experience you get to work with me we have retreats we have different uh influencer programs i mean there's so much you can do with pragerforce to learn the skills of how to get your voice heard more you know how to build your audience and get more people to hear you but just keep speaking out with what you're doing until you join pragerforce i mean it's super important i say this every time how important it is to speak out uh jerry martin 771 from oklahoma said his social media mostly to blame for the rise of radical power causing a shift in acceptable beliefs and behavior seems like it's the dyno dna from jurassic park discovered too soon that's a good uh analogy i like your analogy i actually just watched jurassic park 2 lost world a few days ago it's not nearly as good the first one is like way better the other ones kind of suck anyway yes i do think it is if you guys were here for this entire podcast today you would have heard me talk about nietzsche before about slave morality herd morality this the the the herd attacks the good and the successful through guilt okay they're mediocrity they're mediocre people who attack the successful people and so they do this because they're not happy with their own lives so they attack the good they attack the successful people to make themselves feel better about themselves to try and make it so that everybody's equal because the people who are powerful and successful aren't good people only if you're weak and meager that that's when you're a good person that's the kind of morality that the herd tries to put on people right and i think that's very telling and so we see that in social media with this this herd mentality where they're coming on they see people who are successful who do things that are against the herd who are trying to separate themselves and they put them down and they say that is not acceptable they say that is bad you need to be mediocre like us and i think that that is what is driving people their mediocrity most people are lazy most people aren't willing to take the steps necessary to to reach their higher self to be a better person to live out their dreams to do the things that they want to actually do so they remain mediocre they remain lazy and then when other people are trying to rise up out of that and be better they put them down because they don't want to see other people rise up higher than them they don't want to see other people being successful being more powerful than them so they shame them they guilt them and they do this through cancel culture they do this through social media mobs they do this all over this is what the left does this is what the herd does is what the mob does is slave morality enslave morality so yeah social media is not good for that trenny said hi will would you consider going to high schools to talk with students there about some of the topics you cover at college level yes the last time i went to a college or high school campus was is actually a horrible story you guys can see how left the tall how tolerant the left is here i was going to speak at a high school in park city utah and i went to the school i was there about a few hours before and then some kid who was a leftist who heard that i was speaking on campus he took bear spray and he sprayed it into the vents of the school and it poisoned kids at the school they did that this kid did that so it would cancel my event he literally poisoned kids at the school and now you think colleges are bad liz would happen in a high school in utah which is a pretty conservative state you know for the most part park city is a little bit different but anyway that's like a horrible thing that this student did that was the last time i spoke at a high school but yeah anyway that's a little tangent but i would love to speak at more high schools but you know high schools aren't even in session la's canceling all schools now san diego doing the same i'm sure tons of other school districts i mean back home my sister is a school teacher and they're canceling her school as well so for at least the first semester she does she's doing everything on zoom i mean students should be able to go back to school i mean that's just it's absolutely ridiculous that kids can't go to school i was some guy i posted this yesterday or two days ago something i posted on twitter remember follow me on twitter at the will what i posted on twitter i said you know how come kids can't go back to school but we allow the elderly who are way more susceptible to this virus be able to go to grocery stores and all sorts of places where they're on airplanes where they're in contact with tons of people we let them do that but we can't let kids go back to school what is that you know when someone commented back they said well this seven-year-old just died in georgia and i was like yeah that's incredibly sad but go to the georgia public department of health website and tell me how many people under the age of 17 have died from coronavirus in georgia can you guys guess i'll give you a second put your comments in the in the comments section below how many people under 17 have died in georgia is two people two people who are under the age of 17 have died in georgia because of the coronavirus is that a national pandemic is that that that we should close down every single school in georgia because two children have died of course the two deaths are sad but that doesn't mean we shut down our entire economy our entire school system because of that you know i'm i'm a big advocate of of getting the kids back to school i think they should get back to school even though many public schools are indoctrination centers in a lot of ways i still think that the costs outweigh the the losses because i mean think about a child staying at home every single day he's losing out on social skills he's losing out on interacting with teachers on on actual learning they're not learning well on zoom at all you know school it yes public schools and things are in a lot of ways they're indoctrinating you your youth i've said this a million times i'll say it a million more it's definitely true but that's not the only thing they're learning at school okay they're also learning how to write how to do math how what is science you know all sorts of things that aren't just leftist brainwashing i mean they need to go back to school the students need to go back to school immediately or we're going to see i don't even know we're going to see but it's going to be bad it's going to be bad students should go back to school okay claire jones said where's your hawaiian shirt is it cold there today it's not cold but i'm getting on a flight and i didn't want to wear this is
