And now, Adam Carolla. Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. No choice but to get it on. She eventually here. Good to see you, my dear.
C
Oh, good to see you. It is just I can't believe I get an opportunity to come to the studio and talk to you.
A
Oh, please lean into your microphone, please. Thank you. So I don't know China, we're confused. As Americans, we're very confused. So the Middle east, we go, that guy's a terrorist and he has a beard and he's scary and he hates women and we don't like him. And there's other nations and other places we've battled with over the years, but China's confusing I think to most Americans
C
of Americans, after dealing with China for over a century, we're still very confused about China.
A
Well, half the stuff we wear and use is from China. So, you know, it's kind of a. I never really thought about it, but like, we don't like terrorists, so we don't like Al Qaeda. But what if your shirt and your sweatpants and your stroller that you use for a kid was made by Al Qaeda? Wouldn't it be sort of confusing to us?
C
That's very confusing because China is not out there. I would say Communist China. I really hate to say the word China. Communist, Communist China. It's not out there. It's everywhere. It's here. It's in every part of our daily lives. That's where we are. That's why. But we made it happen, first of all. And that's why it's so hard for Americans to understand that that is a totalitarian regime, much more brutal than any other regime, any other regime in the world, killing so many millions of people. And the crimes was not only covered, it's a crime to talk about it in China and in the Western world. Most of them know anything about it.
A
Yeah, I'm just trying to think of it from a perspective, like from the cheap seats, you know, like China. It's kind of interesting. They don't seem menacing in their own. They're not as big, they're sort of hairless. We sort of don't look at them as a menace. And you know, World War II, I mean, I guess some of the stuff's sort of hold over from World War II. We had, you know, I mean, obviously we fought Germany, we fought Japan, but we didn't fight China, we fought Japan,
C
but we allied with the communist regime. We allied with a communist regime and people don't talk about it.
A
Well, we allied with Russia, so with Russia, Communists. Yeah. Right, right.
C
I think that makes a lot. That make a big difference in how people see communism. World War II confused so many people. But that is very important to point out. We allied with one evil against another, and I argue we allied with the worst evil.
A
Are we talking about Russia or China?
C
Russia. China was not in the picture yet.
A
I mean, China was involved with World War II.
C
Yeah, very much so, but it's not quite in the picture. But that was the time when America for the first time engaged with the. With China, not with the Communist China, with China. During the World War II, against Japan. During that time, Americans, presidents, political leaders, democrats. Not Democrats, diplomats, they made grave, grave mistakes. What they did is actually not necessarily support the communists, but they stopped support for the nationalists and that secured the victory for Communist China.
A
So what does China want?
C
Okay, I really hope for this, for this show we just call it Communist China.
A
Communist China.
C
What do they want? Because that make it clear to the audience, what do they want? What are they? First of all, what are they? They are communists and how they came into being. They were created, basically. Their parents were Communist Russia. They were created, enabled and everything was organized. Soviet, Russian, where they are parents with their teachers, with their trainers. So they're communists through and through. By now it's safe to argue they are the worst version of communism. Worse than Stalin's Russia. Worse. Worse than anyone. Okay, so what's their goal? That's the thing. Yeah, they're communists. Let's make it clear. What is their goal in their DNA? Their goal is to destroy capitalism and to destroy Christianity because the goal to destroy those two and United States is the target because United States personifies both in its DNA, the day it was born, never changed. Never changed. That's what they want. They want to control the world. Also. Let me say this before I forget. Communism is globalism. Communism always want to liberate the entire world. Well, when they are weak they say that, but they don't push it. But now they're pushing it. They want to take over not just United States, but the whole world. That's what they want.
A
So is this a fair statement? The terrorists, you know, they just say death to America, you know, and they make all these proclamations, you know, and you know, they're big and they're scary, but you know, we don't really listen. But they're sort of, they have these very aggressive. Their statements are aggressive communism. The Chinese communists are sort of lower key. I think they realize that saying death to America is not going to be good for them. They should be more quiet about it.
C
Let me remind you, when I grew up, that is the slogan we hear. That's the slogan I shouted, Death to America. Well, not exactly the same, but down with the American imperialists, right? Same thing, but you did not pay much attention. China is so damn poor. It's out there, you know, who cares what they say? That is exactly the same situation, only that they were too weak and now they need the aftermao. Totally, totally destroy China. They need really some help, otherwise they're all going down to the drain. So then they open it up. China to the west. They know that if they go down that way, they're just Going to destroy itself. So American come in, investment come in. And now they look like they. For the, for the longest time, many people believe now if we have trade with them and if China opens up and the trade eventually will create middle class, eventually will create democracy. That's what Clinton sold this idea to American people. And now we know it did not happen.
A
Do you think they're going to move on Taiwan?
C
They wanted to. It's not like the question is whether they can. It's not like whether they want. They want. They always wanted Taiwan.
A
And so why do they need Taiwan? Is it because of the minerals?
C
Well, now, you know, Taiwan is very important. First thing is that Taiwan is what General MacArthur called unsinkable aircraft carrier. It's very, very important strategically, geostrategically. But also Taiwan now has everything that the world wants. Right the chips. Right, the chips, yeah. But it's always the goal, not just today. Mao wanted Taiwan, but he could not take Taiwan. Xi Jinping feels like he now is strong enough that he can do it. So it's a matter of whether they can rather than whether they won't.
A
But now they want to.
C
They want to.
A
Are they less likely to move with Trump in office?
C
Yes, that's absolutely the case. And also Xi Jinping is like a Trump. Xi Jinping did what Trump could not do. He absolutely destroyed his military. He purged. Since he came into power, he purged more than 100 high level military officials. And lately he purged 36 or 38 generals. Why he does that? Basically there's no one running the military right now.
A
Really.
C
It's because a dictator, just dictator, always feels unsafe. He suspect everyone. Actually the highest general, the highest level of general just purged, was his childhood friend.
A
Really?
C
Yeah. But they can't trust each other because it's not, it's not the power structure determined that they always have power struggle. And the power struggle is very, very brutal and it's life and death.
A
So I mean, I'm, I sound naive, but I never get why countries don't just adopt capitalism. I know why the fight? Why you don't you take a look at a country like Cuba. Cuba, it's just fight, fight, fight. And it's socialism and it's communism and it's fighting, it's poor people and we don't have power, we don't have running water. It's like at a certain point I just go, just open the place up, do what we do and flourish. Why are you fighting the whole time?
C
Now can I say that is One of the reasons Americans just don't understand communism. Why if you open up, you lose your power. You give up your power.
A
You give up the power, right? But you're still rich. You're still rich and you're old. And how long is this going to go on? I mean, I mean, no, no, no, no, no.
C
That's not how they think. I know they want not just their rich now, they want to make sure their power is controlled by the people that share the same ideology. And then they want to pass down to their children and children's children, it's
A
power, power, I get it. But I know you, it can't work.
C
That's, that's the problem to them.
A
Why do they think it's gonna work? It can never work. I mean, you look at Cuba. So here's what I'm saying. There's like a math. It's like a math equation that doesn't pencil out. It will never work. Cuba will never work. Like communism never works. It just doesn't work because it's flies in the face of human emotion and motivation. Humans aren't motivated by communism.
C
They don't care. It work for them.
A
It works for them.
C
That is the key. You got to understand that is evil. An American with all this kind of tradition, the value that embedded in us, we just think, why you think about the people? How can you just improve the. No, that's not what they think. That's their slogan. It's all about power. You think that doesn't work? Work very well. Work very well for every communist regime. Remember Castro, he had a Rolex watch, not one, but two. And he want to show that he has. And it works really well for him.
A
I get it, like it works for him. But the whole island is falling apart.
C
Who cares? That's about China. Well, China now has all the money because we, like Trump said, we build China. But before, for Mao, United States, absolutely. But for China, before, mao would starve 50 million people just because he wanted to try his idea. He did not care. They never cared about people. You have to understand that. But they cared about the people. Before they get into power, they want to prove that they care about people, but once they are there, they don't care.
A
So is China our biggest nemesis, enemy?
C
Yes, absolutely. And I think this is something that people haven't.
A
So we think about Iran, but it's
C
really China, I think, of course, I'm not an expert in geopolitics. Without China, Iran would not survive the way it did. And China is really the back the backers of Iran. And I think people have to look at that. Of course, Russia part of it too. So Iran can't survive by itself. It has bankers. Bankers, backers.
A
Backers and bankers. I guess I'm gonna say them. Well, like does China put. You know, when we have these marches where everyone has the same sign and they're fighting ICE and they're fighting each other, it's Black Lives Matter. It's no kings or whatever the march is. Is China involved with that?
C
Yeah. Have you read the investigative report? Excellent piece by my friend Ezra Normani lately. Yes, yes. That is so important. No, everyone knows Soros and we have George Soros. Yeah, George Soros. But we have Chinese Soros. It is.
A
Oh, you have. Yeah. There's somebody who moved to China, right?
C
Roy Singhan. Roy, he made his fortune here, become a billionaire. But he is a communist and so he decided he's going to call help the communist courts. So he went to Shanghai and he has put in hundreds of millions of dollars into all sorts of organizations that support all sorts of protest, anti government and basically in America, anti Trump activism. Yeah. China is behind the bmm, behind pro Hamas movement.
A
So China. So you wonder how these places are. These people are so organized and they have all their signs and they land in the right place and there's all these young people. I always say it's the middle of the day, it's the middle of the week. Why aren't you at work?
C
I just came here. I saw an overpass, some slogans about anti Trump. I have to work. You have to work. And you know why? They always have time. They get paid. That's the only reason. Yeah.
A
Is China paying them?
C
China is part of it. Absolutely part of it. And I'm thinking, and just to point out that it's Roy Singhan, I think it's not accurate. He absolutely are now linked with ccp. The CCP now can put unlimited fund into his programs, into his. All the organization that he threw him. But can I say something before I forget? And then in the beginning you said China, you know, the other countries, they shout death to America. They kill Americans. They look like a really, like a threat to America. China is not. I think that's what you meant.
A
Well, what I meant was, so let's see if we can break this down. In the United States, we are very wired, hardwired for an aesthetic, a look like we like George Clooney because he looks good. And so we go, I trust that guy because look at him, he looks good. He Looks smart. He looks like he knows what he's doing. You know what I mean? And like Mamdani, we have a communist mayor of the biggest city in our country because he looks nice.
C
Big smile.
A
Look at that guy. That guy's smiling. He looks nice. And California is being destroyed by a guy named Gavin Newsom who looks nice. You know, so we're very like aesthetic, right? Visual. And so when we see terrorists with big beards and hairy and dark, we go, I don't like that guy. I don't trust that guy.
C
Look like a harmless, right.
A
Chinese look. So, so we are like. We're the kind of people who go, that's a cockroach. Step on it. And then we go, that's a ladybug. That's cute. It's kind of cute. But ladybugs cause more damage than cockroaches do. But they look. They do. I think they eat crops and plants and stuff. Cockroaches don't. But the point is we don't like them. We don't like the cockroach, we like the ladybug. So the Chinese are a. They're kind of diminutive, they're not that big. They're sort of hairless and they look friendly. So we have that feeling with them of like, oh, they're nice and they're bowing and they're well mannered and all that stuff.
C
Well mannered.
A
Well mannered, yes. So that's. We don't have an instinctive reaction to that.
C
I see what you mean, but this is all because of propaganda and a lack of knowledge of history. And this is all by design by both the leftists here and Communist. Chinese Communist Party over there. So let me remind American people or your audience. And it's not a ladybug. It is absolutely, whatever you call it. Cockroach, Cockroach. Worse than that. So we had a cold war with Soviet Union for decades, but we never had a war with them. We never had a military confrontation with them. We never. But now look at Chinese, Chinese Communist Party, ccp. We had a war with them in Korea. Most people forgot about it. I can't remember. But 60 some thousand Americans died. Yeah, okay. And the. That don't forget that. But we want, the left want us to forget that.
A
I think the 60 something was more Vietnam. I think less died in Korea.
C
I have the number in my. You're talking about Korea, Korea, war. Yeah, I can't remember the number, but it's.
A
I think Korea is less than Vietnam. Yes, but go ahead.
C
But in Vietnam you think you're fighting just the Vietnamese? No, the Chinese Communist Party send over over 100,000 soldiers throughout the war. Not at once.
A
And fought the Americans, 37,000 in Korea
C
and then 60,000 in Vietnam. In Vietnam, yes. And going forward. And this is something that people don't think about.
A
Right.
C
How many people have died of. The drug?
A
Oh, fentanyl.
C
Fentanyl, right. So fentanyl, now it's like 600,000.
A
Yeah. I mean, it's weird because we get really caught up in numbers, but more people have died in this country from fentanyl than in World War II.
C
Put all together.
A
Put all together. And more than probably the civil war as well. So we're being poisoned by China.
C
By China. And never think that, oh, those are the drug dealers in China. No, everything in China is controlled by the government. If they want to go after them, no one can make any draw.
A
If the government didn't want us to get the ingredients to make fentanyl or in Mexico, no one could. We wouldn't get it.
C
Yes, it's a state operated business.
A
Right.
C
And then people forget. Forget Covid, how many died? How many died. Let's put all the numbers together. And that is your ladybug.
A
Well, here's the thing. I'll tell you what's crazy about this goddamn country. It was pretty clear that Covid came from a lab and not from a wet market. And anybody who suggested that it came from a lab instead of a wet market was pilloried and destroyed in this country. Now that is the most insane thing in the world. Because China, I mean, you have to kind of think about it. China unleashes this virus on the world and the United States is, you know, economy is destroyed, schools are closed, businesses shut down, people locked in their homes. And anybody who suggested that it could have come from a laboratory was destroyed in this country.
C
I know, it's a great.
A
You know what? Trump's greatest move, Dawson, they came from China. The whole China virus. That clip is the greatest fucking clip in the world. Because. And by the way, everyone on the left hates Trump because of this. Because that's what it is like. Sir, sir, isn't it racist for you to say that the virus came from China because it's from China? That's the greatest, that one clip. If you just said, why does every pussy on the left hate Trump? I would just show them that one clip. But it turns out you fucking assholes
C
were wrong about everything doing the same thing.
A
And by the way, we never even looked into it. We Never got to the bottom of it. We just got yelled at for saying it came from a lab the whole time, and then. Then forget it went away.
C
Oh, it's gone.
A
It's gone. It's over. It's over. I tell everyone every night on Twitter to fuck themselves. I'm.
C
That is the ladybug.
A
That's the ladybug, yeah.
C
Looks kind of a. I mean, is
A
it 100% that it came from a lab now?
C
100%. And it's not accidental. I don't think. I don't believe it. I don't believe it's accidental. I just don't believe the timing and everything. But we need to really find out. We absolutely can't just let it go.
A
So all this country did was yell at everybody who said it came from a lab and try to destroy them. And then five years later, everyone's like, well, maybe it came from a lab. Moving on. And there's no repercussions. We don't punish Canada. There's nothing. Nothing.
C
I personally got it and spent 10 damn days in the ICU.
A
Really?
C
Yes.
A
Here in the United States.
C
Here. And so now it's like, people don't. People need to remember. This is what happens when you deal. When you deal with a communist regime. Look kind of nice.
A
Why do wear.
C
They don't wear turbans. They don't have beard. But they are the real evil that we're facing because that is not just ccp. That's what my book is about. It's. We made it possible because. Because we're so, so stupid.
A
Yeah. Well, I mean, we're idiots. We love guys like Fauci.
C
Yes.
A
Our fucking government's like, well, China says they didn't unleash the virus. China. All they do is lie. What are you talking about? China says, Fucking idiot. We tried to crush anyone who said it came from a lab. We are nuts. Everyone knows me an apology, but everyone else an apology as well.
C
And this is really.
A
All right, here's this. This is the greatest. This is Trump on Trump with more Trump. This is double fudge Trump. I love it. And I love the. Who the fucking reporter, sir. All right, here we go.
B
Why do you keep calling this the Chinese virus? There are reports of dozens of incidents of bias against Chinese Americans in this country.
A
Shut up.
B
Your own aide, Secretary Azar, says he
C
does not use this term.
B
He says ethnicity does not cause the virus.
A
Why do you keep using this? Because it comes from China.
B
Racist.
A
It's not racist at all. No, not at all.
C
It comes From China. China. China comes from China.
A
I want to be accurate.
B
Absolutely.
A
He wants to be accurate. That's the greatest. They hate Trump. This is why they hate Trump, because he's fucking accurate.
B
He.
C
And then.
A
And truthful, you bitch.
C
I remember the time that all the Chinese in my area were just supposed to go have a demonstration. It's a racist. I just said, no, it is from China.
A
We label everything where it comes from.
C
Yeah, exactly.
A
That's how we do it. So this one comes from China.
C
So that you can see that is how the leftist here and the Communists. Chinese Communist Party there, they work together. They absolutely work together. Right.
A
So we have a lot of what we call useful idiots. Useful idiots here. Just fucking dumb shits who go along with all this shit. And they can push them out in the street easily. I don't know how many are being paid and how many are just dumb. I mean, Hollywood celebrities, they're all just useful idiots. But I think they're not. Bruce Springsteen is trying to.
C
They're not really stupid. They know that it's about money.
A
So what's Bruce Springsteen doing? What's Robert De Niro doing? I mean, there's a stupid. John Lithgow. Did you see that, Dawson? He had a poem. I mean, they're all narcissists, I guess. John Lithgow. But John Lithgow is not getting paid by China.
B
But.
A
But he's staying in the good graces of everyone in Hollywood so he can work.
C
So Hollywood is that now is bought by this Chinese Communist Party.
A
Well, it's true.
C
It's money. Some are really useful.
A
It is, yeah.
C
But some are just. They know what they're doing.
A
All right, so let's. Two categories. One is I'm getting paid by China. The other is I want to work in Hollywood. So I'm going to parrot this stuff and I'm going to say this stuff so I can continue to work and get paid. So there's two ways to get paid. There's directly and indirectly. Right.
C
Because the whole industry right now is controlled by communist China.
A
Is it?
C
Absolutely. They censor everything.
A
Okay, so like when John Cena said something about Taiwan on a map, he had to go back. He had to walk it back. And Tom Cruise had to take the patch off the jacket.
C
Right, Exactly.
A
Is that what you're talking about?
C
Exactly. And Richard Gere, just because he support Dalai Lama. Yeah, he now. He can find really jobs there now. And.
A
Oh, that's interesting.
C
Richard Gere, Yeah, he's a leftist.
A
Right.
C
He doesn't understand he still support open border, but he's a victim of CCP because. Dalai Lama. Yes.
A
So is it. So What's China have? 1.3 billion. How many?
C
They are the second or now the first? The biggest market for Hollywood movies are they.
A
How many citizens are there? 1.
C
They say it's 1.4 billion, but they doubt it. After all the decades of forced abortion, one child policy, they think it's. It's not. But still. Still.
A
So maybe it's under a billion.
C
Yeah, there's some, some even estimates as worse than that. And that is another story that is. Okay, so traffic tragic.
A
The United States has, you know, 335 million or something. India's bigger now.
C
Bigger. Past the past. China.
A
Past China.
C
I don't know how many.
A
Okay. China's. I don't know. A billion.
C
Let's say a billion.
A
All right, say billion. So does Hollywood just look at them as people buying tickets?
C
Yeah, that's what they see.
A
So if you have, for the sake of argument, you have the United States, you have China. United States is one third the size of China. And so you're trying to sell tickets. So you don't want to upset the people that are three times the size because they, and they will consume the American product. Maybe. Do they consume it more so than Americans.
C
But what I saw, I can't remember either the second or the biggest market. Yes, they do. And so what they do is that they let. If they have a movie that can be sold in the China market, they have people from China to send to review it and take that out, add this and yeah, they're controlled. They're totally controlled.
A
Right, like in Red Dawn. Like they remade the movie Red dawn
C
and I don't watch movie anymore. I stopped watching 10 years ago. But Red dawn is. Yeah, I think I mentioned it in my book. I don't even remember what it is about. But they change things.
A
Yeah, they make you change stuff into
C
the Chinese army, into Korean, North Korean, something like that.
A
Yeah, they change things because they're a big market. And Simplisafe traditional home security has expensive monthly fees, multi year contracts and confusing hardware.

And they're all a bunch of chicken shit pussies who do this thing where it's like you stand up to Trump. They stand up to Trump. The second somebody drops a nickel, they'll do anything. Listen, Bryan Cranston is the hardest leftist, most progressive guy in the world. They were supposed to shoot Breaking Bad in California. They got over taxed and over regulated. And I drove him from this studio to the Burbank airport. They went to New Mexico and they shot New Mexico so they could save a dollar. So all the talk about standing up to and fighting back and pushing back, all they want is money. That's all Hollywood wants is money. Every time. All the time. Their talk is a bunch of bravery talk and a bunch of hero talk. It's fantasy. It's like the movies they make.
C
Remember, I take responsibility.
A
Yes, I stand up. I do bullshit you chicken shit sellouts. All you want is money. I know you just want money. You want money from China and by the Way you'll happily leave California and shoot everywhere to save a nickel. Yeah, all the production left Hollywood just to save money. There's no other reason other than money.
C
But there are useful idiots.
A
Yes, they're useful idiots.
C
Yeah. And lately, you know, you heard about this Professor John popping up from nowhere and get interviewed everywhere. Are you following that?
A
No, I didn't follow. When did that happen?
C
I don't know, two weeks ago or whatever. He predicted that Trump will win and he predicted Trump will get into, we have a war with Iran and then we're stuck there, and then that's when China will rise as the first superpower, because Trump is going to be destroyed by the Iran war before 2024. So he become like a predictor now. He's everywhere. The first one was in Tucker.
A
Tucker, yeah.
C
So basically. And basically he was saying in Tucker's show that, you know, it is time that we share power, basically, not just American being the only bully, that the Russians and Iranian Chinese, we all said, and we can share power. And Tucker said, yeah, sure, yeah, we should share power. When you share power with communists, you be ready. They can take you over. Because they never want to share power. They do not want to share power.
A
No, I don't.
C
And now it's everywhere. Yeah.
A
I think communists are sort of like Islam. Like, all they want to do is take over. They want to take over their shitty brand of governing.
C
And now this is absolutely one of the example that I really want the audience to pay attention. This is typical what's called united front work by the ccp. It's not just organic. Somehow there's this professor just showed up. It's all behind it. It's CCP's work.
A
Well, it was interesting that when the whole sort of Russia, Russia collusion, Russia got Trump installed in office and all that bullshit, it turned out that all the stuff from Russia was just trying to agitate race relations in this country. There wasn't even Trump or Hillary. It was just race stuff because they're constantly trying to get us to go at each other.
C
Here is really, I think this is a really important thing that in the very, very beginning, I mean, we're going to back to 30s when the Americans engaged with the Chinese. Not Chinese Communist Party, but China in general and west and same time with the ccp, both the CCP and Nationalist government. Nationalist now in Taiwan. Okay. So this has been going on from there. They say, you know, Chinese Communist Party, they're not really Chinese. They are peasant reformers. They want to really help the Peasants to have land and help the poor. They're not really Russians. And because of that, eventually they stopped supporting the nationalist government while the Soviet Union was supporting the CCP and eventually ended with CCP take over China. And that myth hasn't changed that China is not really, really communists. They're kind of. But Russian is Russia, Russia, Russia. Even though Russia already put it in their constitution that they denounce communism, they're still Russia, Russia, Russia. And they never say China, China, China. You never hear China, China, China. But China is more communist than Russia from the very beginning. So the myth survived. Eventually it become Deng Xiaoping a reformer. Right, Reformer. They're all just reformers. Yeah, they have this title, Communist Party, but they're not really communist. That is a major problem. Major problem. Until today, people still think that way. And never that never was thoroughly exempt and denounced. They are Communists.
A
What do you think the people of China want?
C
They just want to have a better life. And I think at this time, they know that the communists, the Communist Party is in such control for now, it's over 70 years. They just want a better life. But they had. They almost starved to death by the time that Mao died. And I was there, I was there. Everything was rationed. And every day everyone think, you know what food to hear. You know, it's so, so funny. We greet each other. How are you? Right, Hi. Do you know what's the greeting in China?
A
No.
C
Have you eaten?
A
Oh, really?
C
Yeah, it's just food. Food is in people's mind because that is what people did not have. And so after the China opened up and because what I'm trying to say is that at that time, by the time Mao died in 1976, China was in such ruins and everyone was absolutely disillusioned with the idea of communism, idea of this Communist Party. And then they had a reform, and then the American money coming in, investment coming in. And now the only reason that the Chinese people still think Communist party is okay is because now they have enough to eat. But that's changing. That's absolutely changing. Jobs are disappearing. After the COVID Covid hurt them just as much. And now the tariff war, the jobs are disappearing. People have no jobs. Do you know what kind of job the college graduates are looking for? After college, they can't even find a job that pays them 300 yuan a month. What is 300 yuan? It's like, it's like 50. No, 300 yuan is like $300 a month. They can't even find jobs when they can't have jobs when they lose their homes because of the real estate collapse. And then when they have enough to eat, I don't think they will say, okay, I'm okay. We're okay with the Communist Party. But that's. That is. They are losing it. They are losing what made the Chinese Communist Party look like, okay, okay, Government. Do you see what I mean?
A
Yeah.
C
Yeah.
A
What's going on with the spies that are over here? Like, there's. We have Eric Swalwell, who's from California. He's a dope. California is the dopiest politicians. We shit out the dumbest politicians in the world. You know what's kind of crazy? I'm looking at you, Dawson. I was just thinking about this the other day. We have Los Angeles Mayor Bass, basically a communist. I mean, listen, I don't know what this.
C
100%.
A
She spent half her life in Cuba. She's been to Cuba 28 times. You know what I mean? She loves Fidel Castro. I don't know what to say. You know what I mean?
C
Like, if somebody said 100% communist. 100%.
A
Somebody said, Adam, are you into Disneyland? I'd be like, no, I've just been there 500 times and I have all these buttons and I love Walt Disney, but other than that, I'm not into Disney. I think you are. I think you are. Dawson. Ask me how many times I've been to Cuba. Hey, how many times have you?
C
Zero.
A
I've been fucking 0. 0 times. But you've been there a shitload of times, and you're fucking communist. And she's in the lead. And then Nithya Retard Rahman, who's number two, is basically just in this Socialist party. So we're going to have New York and Los Angeles, Boston, Boston.
C
Michelle, communist.
A
Sorry for your heritage, but that's dumb. Fucking. She's dumb as shit. We're having communist women run our biggest cities.
C
How about Communist Democratic Party?
A
The party. The party. I mean, Nifty Rahman, who's a dumb bitch who's currently ruining Los Angeles, is in the Socialist Party. Like that, sir. I don't know if you look her up. That's her thing. Like, I don't know what. What is attractive people about. Communists run your fucking cities, you fucking idiots.
C
Power. They want power.
A
What's attractive to my mom? She's dead, but she's still dumb. What the fuck is she doing? Why. Okay, why is she voting for these people? What's attractive about communists, you fucking retards?
C
That is the story that people don't know. How did Communist Party, Chinese Communist Party take over China? Because they have tens of millions peasant soldiers fighting for them. For what? For the promise of free land.
A
Yeah, right. You're not getting it. You're not getting any of the shit.
C
You are not. No, they got it. Actually they got it after the 1949.
A
Well, I mean here, whatever it is they're promising, you're going to find free bus and free markets, free everything, you fucking losers.
C
I want to tell the story, but they don't know. I know, I'm angry. So they helped the CCP to win the war and took over China because they want free land. And after the victory, the CCP pushed the land reform. They gave the land from the rich to the poor. To the point. In the meantime they killed up to 2 million landlords. Their crime is they have more than their neighbor. But after that, only for about five years. After that, all the land was taken back by the government. Every inch. So today China, every inch of the land belongs to the party.
A
Really?
C
Talking about stolen land. Idiots. You are on the streets. Demonstrate. That is the stolen land. The CCP stole my ancestors land. My grandparents land was confiscated, give to the poor.
A
What did your grandparents do in China?
C
Well, back then I only met my grandmother. And they just a small land owner. And they have people working on the land and they get rent. And that is a crime. So all the land was taken, gave to the poor, taken back. That is the story. And after that 50 million peasants who fight for their free land starve to death.
A
Right?
C
And that is the story that people don't know, that need to know. You're not going to get nothing. If I curse, you're going to get shit.
A
Thank you. Well, is it, I don't know, college students, American, Chinese, we're all so dumb.
C
They don't know because it's here. Here is the indoctrination that they never learned the real history. But if you don't know the history, what really happened? It sounds really good. It sounds so good. Not only the poor fight for the communists. They are rich, like my parents. They joined the Communist party.
A
Oh, were they rich, your parents?
C
Well, not rich, but they were well to do.
A
And they joined the Communist party because
C
they want save the. They want to save China. They want to help the poor. They want to really liberate the oppressed. That sound familiar?
A
Yeah.
C
So those are the white liberals and then the others. The white liberals may not want to afford free stuff as much, but the others want. So they all this were Played out in China before. And we know the ending, but they don't know.
A
How did you get along with your parents?
C
You don't get along. Everyone was indoctrinated, and I did not even have a chance. From my early days, I was in the daycare communist kitchen and the call, and then school. So everything is. Everything is fine as long as. Everything will be fine as long as you follow the party line, right? Yeah.
A
But, like, for instance, I don't agree with anything my parents said. I mean, my mom and my grandmother, politically, are fucking retarded. And I don't agree with any fucking thing those two idiots ever said. And I would just. I just pretty much told them I disagree with every single thing you two idiots talk about.
C
Where did they get.
A
My grandmother was a communist, though? Well, okay, okay, there's an. Or there's something going on. Actually, Drew sent me a quote from Orwell. I'm looking at you, Dawson. But women are easier to capture. They get fucking women. They're fucking soft, they're weak, their mind is mushy, and they can get all women sucked in. So what. What happened? So here's what happened in this country. I don't know about China.
C
Oh, I tell you the story about China, about women.
A
Okay. In this country, traditionally, we didn't really listen to women. But women are much easier to indoctrinate and to suck in emotionally and to get them to ally. If you have a retarded cause, it's much easier to indoctrinate women in your fucking retarded cause than it is for men. But traditionally, we never listen to women, so who cared? But we started saying, we need to listen to women. They need to be in charge. They need to be the mayor of Los Angeles. They need to be in positions of power. They need to be in the city council, they need to be vice president. They need to be in positions of power. We need women in all these positions. And they got sucked in, they got indoctrinated, and then they got into power. So now if you want to build something in Malibu, you got to deal with the Coastal Commission. Who's the Coastal Commission? A bunch of fucking women who brains are shit. So you have to deal with all these people. You want to deal with something in Los Angeles, it's a bunch of women that are in the city council, and now you have to deal with a bunch of bitches whose brains have turned to mushrooms. So we used to just say to women, stay over there. No talking. We don't want. We don't want Your input. But then we pulled them in Los Angeles during COVID was run by Barbara Ferrer. Barbara Ferreira is a retarded witch bitch who has a soft brain. But she ran up. So what do we do now? We have to do whatever the fuck that retarded bitch tells us to do. So we pulled a lot of women in, we put them in charge, and their brains are soft, and they got indoctrinated because they're easier to flip. They're easier to flip than guys are guys. You can't do anything to guys, especially when they're old. Maybe you can get guys when they're young. That's the plan. That's what we try to do with school and Covid and all that kind of stuff. Oh, okay. So we have Orwell's tweet. Sorry, George Orwell's quote, okay? It says, Dr. Drew sent this to me the other day. It was always the women, and above all, the young ones who were the most bigoted adherents of the party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies, the nosers out of unorthodoxy. Basically saying, young women are what you need to make a movie, a revolution. Yes, that's what you need, right? And we decided to give them a vote, and we decided to listen to them. That was our fault. We should have went, shh, quiet, shut up, get the fuck over there. You know what you're talking about. But we decide they should all be in power.
C
That's the.
A
And we fucked ourselves.
C
The feminist.
A
But China, what happened with China, okay,
C
that will really complement your story. And in China, the same way, especially during the Cultural Revolution, that's my time. You know, when the Cultural Revolution started, I was in the first grade, so I did not participate. I was too young. But I witnessed, I saw the process. It's the young girls, young girls. It's young girls. They want to be part of the revolution and they want to prove that they worthy of the revolution. So they have to do extra. So the Cultural Revolution started. Actually, there's a date, it's in March, in May. And so it started. And then they went straight, destroyed the statues and then everything else. And then they started to target on people. And so they were told that anyone in authority is bigot, that we need to take them down. And so three months into the Cultural Revolution, only three months, and you can see a revolution start. How fast it can progress. Three months later, a group of young girls from Beijing's Elite Girls Middle school took their principal, beat her up, go through a struggle session. Now you Heard about the struggle session.
A
Struggle session?
C
You have to. She had to admit her crimes and her sins and whatever. And then they beat her up, tortured her and killed her.
A
Really?
C
By girls? By girls from 12 to 16. A group of them.
A
How does China. So what we do in this country is we pit each race against each other. So if you have a problem with anything with the Los Angeles school board, you're just racist. So they just go, that guy's racist. If you want ID shown to vote, you're racist. If everything is, you're racist. But in China now we do racist and we do sexist.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
And then we do gay too. So if you disagree with anything they say, you're homophobic, you're racist, you're xenophobic, you're misogynistic. So that's what we do. But you and China, you don't have the race issue, right?
C
We don't. So there's something else.
A
What do you do?
C
That's classic. That's class.
A
Oh, class.
C
Yeah. So in the beginning that I mentioned about the land reform, that was the beginning that the CCP put Chinese millions, hundreds of millions into two categories. That's it. Enemy and friend. So how do they do that? It depends on what you have. If you have land, your landlord, you become the enemy. And it's black class. I make it simple, it's just black class. And then everyone else have less. They are the red class. So red and the black. And you think you can tell, right? You can't. We all look alike here. You're black or you're a woman, you're man. But there, that label will stay with you. And the only escape is you go to somewhere that no one knows you, everyone know everyone get a label and that label become part of you. And you pass down to your children your land were taken, land were gone. But doesn't matter. You're a landlord and you have that label. And your children and children's children have that label. I had that label because my grandparents owned some land which I never even saw. That doesn't matter. So we are the second class citizens. And in many places you can't go to college, can have promotion, have a good job. You are just the other, the other. That is Mao's identity politics divide people and later you have no land. Land is taken. But there's another property here, your brain. Your brain. If you think something that is incorrect, automatically you become part of the black class. And then you pass that down to your children and children's children and they give you a label, counter revolutionary, and your children become the son of the counter revolutionary, and our grandchildren have the same title. And then you become the same class. And here, of course, they can't do that because the class struggle just doesn't work. Class war did not work here, not in the way they wanted. So they go with others, of course. Race, sex, sexuality, gender, or whatever you call it. And now it goes on and on. And then they have this way of determining how oppressed you are. The intersectionality. Right. And you have no chance. You are male, first of all, you're out. And you are white, you're out. That's how they do it. They do it differently. But the methodology is the same. To divide people and give them a label.
A
Right. So create some difference and then give them a label and then separate them and then go to work on whatever.
C
And then. No, Set them against each other.
A
Yeah, against each other.
C
So that is. That's why I explained. I explained in detail in my first book, Mouth America. Same thing that identity politics. I was like, okay, here's my story. I have an identity in China. I'm part of the black class. Come here.
A
Wait. The black is the good side?
C
No, bad.
A
Oh, bad, sorry. The land owners.
C
Red is good. Okay. The red is revolutionary communist. So I came here, you know, in China was part of the black class. Come here. All of a sudden, I'm depressed. I'm good, right?
A
Right.
C
I have a worthy label. I am immigrant. I am Asian. I'm woman. Oh, my goodness. I'm pretty good. But eventually we realized the Chinese are no longer a minority. We are now considered white adjacent. Have you heard about that?
A
Well, listen, here's how we do it. Here's how we do our minorities. Minority by definition just means lesser group of people, you know, a smaller group. So what we do is we say minority, but we really mean people that aren't doing as well as the other group making less money. So, you know, we go Hispanic, they're minorities, but they're not really. There's a lot of Hispanics, but they're not doing as well. Just like black is a minority. They're not doing as well because they don't focus on family and education. So their families are busted up. They don't focus on education, and they don't do well because they're not focused on family and education. Asians focus on family and education, so they do better.
C
That's a problem. Because they want to say, it's not you. It's not family problem. It's the system.
A
It's the system, right? So what the system does according to these retards is they oppress black people. But they skip over Nigerians who are black but doing much better than other Nigerians do better in this country than any other group. And they're just as black, if not blacker, than anybody who's ever born here who's black. But they don't count because doing well. So fuck right off, you idiots. How is it that we're holding? How you think? We're separating Nigerians from people that were born in Chicago.
C
They don't like the inconvenient minority.
A
It's inconvenient for them. So and then, and then Indian and eastern Indians do well, Mexicans not as well. But blacks don't do well because they fucking are. They're involved with crime, family and education. Their family system is fucked up because we gave them. We give them too much welfare and too much free shit. We fucked up no dad and no dad. So we fucked. We fucked up the whole black system. But don't worry. Yeah, the government, yeah, the Democrats will take care of you black people don't worry. Any day now, Any day they're going to. It's coming, it's coming. There's some white old dude who's going to take care of your black ass. Just get your shit together. They can't say anything. No one. They want to have an honest discussion on race, but they never bring up this part. I mean, the race hustlers, they die off and then somebody replaces them and then. But by the way, black people, it's your fault. You shouldn't be voting for these people. You shouldn't be listening to these people. And so Asians and other groups, they don't do it. They just go get successful on their
C
own because this system works.
A
Who's the Asian leader? But who's, who is the Jesse Jackson? Who is the Barack Obama? Who are. Who leads the Asians? The answer is nobody. They fucking do their own shit.
C
Because this country is made for individuals.
A
That's right. We don't need a leader, we don't
C
need a group label. We don't need a tribe. But everything you talk about is communism. Yes, we tried that in China. It bring up just total disaster. It's just variation of the same thing, right?
A
But at a certain point black people, how fucking dumb do you have to be to just vote for these idiots day in and day out? You never stop voting for these fucking people. They do nothing for you. And by the way, stop voting for people say they're gonna do stuff for you, they're not gonna do anything for you.
C
They are the most loyal
A
Democrats. They're 90% Democrats.
C
I'm a woman, but I do see a lot of problem with women because they're so easily influenced, emotionally influenced.
A
This is the problem where we're living it right now.
C
I know, but communism appeals to the emotion of a lot of people.
A
I know. And that's the women help the poor. Oh, we're gonna help them.
C
Yeah, you help them. You help them, fine. You want the government to help them. You want our tax money to help whoever.
A
There is a great. I just saw it. Sorry, Andrew. But Brandon Johnson of Chicago, the mayor, he just got up there in the no Kings March and he gave a speech and he was like, we're gonna lift up black people, white people, Asian people, gray people, green people, and everyone's gonna get a good job and everyone's gonna live with dignity, and we're gonna have great schools. It's like, hey, bitch, go ahead, do it. Do it. But you never do it.
C
But if he did not succeed. It's the white people. Yeah, it's the white people.
A
I know.
C
It's getting really comical.
A
I'm amused by it.
C
And the people still buy.
A
It's sad. It's so sad. Yep. Brandon Johnson. It is no King's March. Sorry. Speech. He gave like a. I don't know, it was like a minute and a half worth of. He's gonna. He's gonna lift up everybody. By the way, you're in charge. Feel free to lift up everyone, bitch. But you never do. Yeah, you just fucking complain.
C
In many ways. I have to say this. In many ways, American today is more socialist country than China.
A
Really?
C
China. There's no safety net, nothing. You're on your own. And almost half of the population live under less than $5 a day.
A
Really? Half of the population?
C
600 million.
A
All right here.
C
If the official is 1.4 billion.
A
Yeah, sorry. Here's.
C
And then this. Yeah.
A
Okay, here's Brandon. Now, first off, you know he means what he's saying. Cause there's a butterfly that's painted on a mural behind him. So you know it's gonna work. Cause there's a fucking butterfly. Dumbos. You get it? Dumb chicks. There's a butterfly. So that's good, right? So it's gonna work. So here. Here he is. He's gonna tell us how he's gonna work it out. Here we go. Stronger, Edward. Sending a message. New in America. That's right. It's got a message. It's a message. It's about the power of the people. People power in the city of Chicago. We believe in protecting every single everybody. Except for the chick that got shot in the back by the illegal. Brown, white, Asian, young, old. We are protecting everybody. The working people of this city. Yeah. And we're sending a clear message that we're gonna end this assault against working people, against immigrants. Hold on a second. Who hates what? Who's assaulting the working people? You blowhard. She can probably get into this, but working people, that. That's just a communist.
C
It's a totalitarian. Yes, it's the new word.
A
It doesn't actually mean working people.
C
No, no.
A
It means the Communist Party. Yes, exactly right. All right, so Brandon's gonna help black. Let's see what he. Asian, white, young, old. Young and old. Yep. And everyone in between. I guess as long as you're working, you're working. All right, here he is. That's what it's gonna do in this city. Black, brown, white, brown, Asian, young. He's gonna protect, by the way.
C
I protect, protect.
A
I don't need protection from your ass. I don't want protection. I want to be left alone. Not protected.
C
They protect.
A
There we go. We're sending a clear message that we're going to end this assault against working people. We're going to end these assaults against immigrants. We're going to end these endless wars and stand up for our democracy. I. Are you with me, Chicago? Going to stand up. I'm talking about building a movement that ensures that people can afford rent, people can send their kids to a public school, fully resourced, resar, access to health care, transportation and good paying jobs. Transportation, just not about elected people. This is making. Making sure that the people have the power. Are you with me, Chicago? Oh, yeah. All right. Starting Monday, right? Monday. We start. We start Monday. How long she been in office?
C
If you just listen without processing everything. It's just words.
A
It's just words. It doesn't mean anything.
C
Yeah, but the good words, you know, every word is.
A
Well, we're gonna. How about transportation? Does anyone have a right to transportation? I don't. I don't know. What, that I took an Uber to LAX on Friday was 70 bucks. Should I have just stood on the street and just waited until somebody took me to LAX for free? He's a fucking idiot.
C
That is the thing, that people just want free stuff. So I don't blame. I really don't blame.
A
And I do. No, no, no, no. I know I don't blame them. I blame the fucking useful idiots who voted. Idiots. You got fucked by Covid because you're cowards and pussies. And you also voted for these guys and you fucked yourself. So it's all you. It's all you. It's not them. They're just doing what they tell you what they are.
C
Then you voted for them.
A
You voted for them and you want
C
what you want free stuff. And for those who want free stuff and for others, they want virtual. They look like they are helping the poor people. And those are the white liberals, especially
A
the white female females. Women. They've run the country. So thank you all.
C
I'm trying to say that you want to see a real communist country. You go to China and you don't have nothing. You work and you get nothing here. The working people here, there are just people that just basically live on the handout of the government. This is what I'm going to tell you. Put those people in power. Once they get complete power, you're going to lose everything. You're going to lose everything. Just like those Chinese peasants. They got land and then they lost everything and eventually lost their lives. Starved to death.
A
Well, she Van Fleet, the book Made in America is out as we speak. It's available now. Thank you for this conversation. I'm with you 1000%. I'm disgusted by my fellow American. Like, I'm really sad that we turned, you know, we had a freedom march during COVID in la. Dennis Prager, my friend, went to downtown la. Fifty people showed up. That's sad. We do the Million Woman March. A million women show up. They don't even know what the fuck they're marching for. But they shut down all freedoms and no one gives a shit. So it's everyone's fault but mine.
C
That's what we're fighting for, really, to preserve the freedom. Once it's gone, it's gone for good.
A
I agree. All right, quick break. Back with news right after this. O o o O Riley Auto Parts Zoo. Yeah, love that song. O'reilly. Auto parts are in the business of keeping your car on the road.

It was pretty hilarious, but at the same time very unexpected. You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744. Yeah. Home of Johnny Carson, Norfolk, Nebraska.
B
Norfolk. Is it like Norfolk, Virginia or Norfolk?
A
I don't. You know what, here's what happened.
B
Okay.
A
It's spelled nor.
B
Folk.
A
Folk.
B
Yeah.
A
Right. So it's like N O R F O R K. Oh, Norfolk. No, sorry. No, wait. I'm sorry. L. Wait a minute. LK Not RK Not RK I got ahead of myself. Norfolk, F O L K. Yes. Then I did an interview with somebody at a radio station there before I came out, and he kept saying Norfork.
B
Hmm.
A
And he just kept saying Norfork. And I didn't really want to correct him because he's there, but it's not what anyone else called it that I knew of. And then at some point they started calling it Norfolk. But then controversy arose where half the people say it's Nor Fork, but it's folk. But you know, it's like one of those things like. Oh, God. Kentucky. Louisville. Louisville, yeah, Louisville. If you say Louisville, they get angry. You have to go, Lulu.
B
Well, I was thinking of Norfolk, Virginia
A
and I. Norfolk, Virginia. They do do the L. It.
B
No, they don't know. I had somebody from Virginia tell me one time. They're like. It's like the F word you're supposed to say, like Norfolk.
A
Oh, okay. Yeah, I don't. So they do a folk and a fork and they split the room and they argue about it and nobody.
B
Missouri and Missouri.
A
Yeah. They can't agree on it. But anyway, Johnny Carson's house is there.
B
Oh, that's cool.
A
Yeah.
B
Is it like a historic site now that you can tour?
A
Yeah. It's kind of crazy because it's right on the main boulevard, big boulevard. Like, it'd be like living just like a house. Like right on Ventura Boulevard or like even bigger, like on a highway, like Sepulveda or something. It's just like, boom, right there. It's got a plaque.
B
I don't know where this town is. Where in Nebraska is it? I've only been to Lincoln and Omaha.
A
It is about two hour drive from Omaha.
B
Whoa.
A
Yeah. I don't know what direction, by the way. Mike August does this thing all the time. Like, I'll go, where's the club? I'm outside from the hotel. Where's it go? It's southeast from the hotel. I don't know where the fuck southeast is.
B
I don't know where I have the sun and.
A
Yeah, let me get my sexton out. I don't even know where I am. What do you mean southeast? Just come right left in front of behind.
B
Yeah.
A
But yeah, so we went to Norfolk and that's two hours from Omaha. You get some where you land. Yeah, a lot of meat. And then drove to Lincoln. That's where the college is.
B
I literally just missed you because I just had a speech in Lincoln last week.
A
Oh, really? Yeah, Lincoln's happening. Like, it's cool. The people, nicest people, everyone super friendly, super nice. Not like la.
B
They have a cute little downtown in Lincoln too.
A
Cute little downtown. That's where I was. I was in the club. I was up the roof. Bars and restaurants and speakeasies and people walking and.
B
Yeah, it's a fun place.
A
I agree.
B
Omaha has good steaks.
A
You can live anywhere.
B
I mean, I don't know about the wind and the cold there.
A
It was windy on.
B
It was shaking. A rental car.
A
Yeah, yeah. It got a little gusty, got a little cold. We're Looking at house prices there. Oh, I think it was like 250 grand for just a sort of decent little, you know, modest, but not, you know, whatever house. I had a realization, Dawson. I forgot the house I grew up in. The washing machine was in my room.
B
Okay, so your room was also the laundry room.
A
Yeah. No dryer, just a washing machine. Because dryers were exotic.
B
That's like old military based style. Did you have a thing outside? Like did you have the laundry clothesline?
A
Yes, we did. Was mostly there for escaped convicts. If they came over the wall, they could take my clothing. Right. So I had the washing machine, I had the water heater. The water heater was in my room.
B
They had a lot of sounds happening.
A
Yeah. And the meter for the electrical meter was in my room. So the meter reader would have to. And I forgot my room had a back door. It was the back door.
B
So you were like a.
A
The meter reader would come into my bedroom and read the meter once a month.
B
Wow.
A
The guy on the back door, he'd walk into my bedroom. Imagine a guy walking through your bedroom to read the meter. And then he'd open the closet and he'd read the meter and he'd leave again.
B
Wow.
A
Yes, that's right.
B
So you can sleep anywhere because of all that noise happening.
A
I was thinking, I was talking to Mike when we were walking through Norfolk. I was like, not only was there no air conditioning and no fan and no insulation and it was 150 degrees in my room, but the water heater was in my room. A giant metal barrel filled with boiling water was four feet from me just heating the room.
B
It sounded like you were in a utility closet.
A
I was. Just made a bedroom. It was a porch screen. I should sue my parents. All right, what do you got? What do you got for news?
B
We have some interesting news. We have Nick Cannon who is calling the Democratic Party the party of the kkk, which is historically accurate. Yeah, Robert Byrd sure loved the kkk. Did. Were Democrats.
A
You know what's interesting about this story? It's made the rounds. It's such a novelty. If a black man says anything about the Democratic party, that is true. That's what the story is. The story is this black guy talks shit about Democrats. It's a. No, it doesn't exist.
B
I really like his. That's cool.
A
He's got a blazer.
B
That's a cool old blazer. My. My grandfather used to have one of those, but it did not. It had the roof on it. And I wanted to take the roof off It. But I did not have the skills or the money to do that at the time. So. Yeah, we can take a look at this.
A
Yeah, it had a hard top that you could lift off.
C
Yes.
A
All right, here he goes.
B
And the Republicans do. And that's the misconception.
A
And you know what? I agree with you 100%.
B
Thank you.
A
People don't know that the Democrats is the party of the kkk. Yeah. People don't know that the Republicans are the party that freed the slaves.
B
Yeah.
A
I mean, both of you. And I have some conservative views. You just a little bit more outspoken about it than I am. And I honestly, I don't subscribe to neither party. I Rock with W.E.B. du Bois when he said, there's no such thing as two parties. It's just one evil party with two different names.
B
So, yeah, I mean, look, I. Listen, I'm not married to any party.
A
Right.
B
I voted for Donald Trump because he's. We had two options, and he was definitely by far the better option for us. And as of now, I agree with a lot of things that.
A
That he's doing. Cleaning house.
B
Yeah.
A
All right.
B
He's talking to Amber Rose there, who, of course, you know, went to the RNC in 2024 with a lot of other influencers and. And endorse Donald Trump.
A
Yes. It's such a novelty. I have no idea why black people vote for Democrats. Here's the thing. First off, if you are voting for people because they say they're gonna do shit for you, then you're not really a good person.
B
White people do that, too. I would say most progressives do that.
A
Right. But. Well, no, I agree.
B
Republicans do that.
A
Well, I don't know.
B
Every person votes for a candidate that they think is going to do what they want them to do.
A
No, I get what you're saying, but it's more like, give me money. It's not really like, you know, social things. You know, I want everybody. Listen, everybody votes for people who they agree with. But that's different than give me shit.
B
I don't want the government to give me shit. I want the government to get out of the way so I can keep my shit.
A
Well, that's what I'm saying. No, what I'm saying is black people vote because they think they're gonna get shit from these people. White people are more like some. Okay. On the right, it's like you're gonna lessen the regulation so I can build my development. On the left, it's like you're pro gay marriage or something. But I'm not gay. You know what I mean? So there's a difference between saying, I'm voting for this guy so I can get free shit versus I'm voting for this guy because I'm pro gay marriage, but I'm not gay.
B
I think a lot of white liberals, though, voted for Obama because Obamacare and the Affordability act was appealing to them because of health care. And like, you had a lot of young people that voted for that. And then I think with Biden, it was the promise of free college tuition and like removing their college debt and doing those things. With Mamdani, it's making things more affordable. Minorities didn't vote for Mamdani as, as much as the white west, you know, Upper west side rich ladies did.
A
Well, everyone votes their interest. Yes, I agree with that. But I'm saying in a more concrete way, black voters want something in return. They want, you're going to do this for our community. White people don't really say our community. Asians don't really do our community.
B
I think Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are guilty of like starting that.
A
Yeah, yeah. They go, what are you gonna do for our community?
B
What are you gonna do for our community?
A
And then they say they're gonna do something for your community, but they never do anything for your community.
B
There are groups of Americans, though, from all sorts of communities that do do that.
A
Everybody does it. Black people do it more. That's all I'm saying. You disagree? You disagree? So black. Black women are 90% Democrat.
B
Yeah, for sure. But I don't think that they are 90% Democrat because they're like, I'm only voting for the party that I think is going to give me something. I think that they have been. We've talked about this before. They've been indoctrinated to believe, from the education system to the mainstream media, that Republicans are evil and bad for black women. When that.
A
Oh, well, that's. That is true. That is true.
B
And so I therefore think that that's why 90% of them, if that's the accurate number, I'm sure it is.
A
They're like reparations and stuff like that too. I say there's a pecking order, okay? Everyone votes their interests. Asians don't really do a lot of what's in it for me in the vote wise blacks probably more so than Asians. And then what you're saying now.
B
Yeah, I'm saying no.
A
So you're saying Asians do more or they're tied.
B
I think that all The Armenian, Persian, Jews. Right. Evangelical Christians, people are always voting for their.
A
No, no, but you vote to be left alone, which is not really something.
B
But it's still in like my interest. It's still getting me something.
A
I know, but it's not giving you anything. It's just being left alone.
B
Like, please lower my taxes. Give me some place that is giving me something. Like I take a student voucher, I'd vote for a guy right now.
A
Your taxes is not really giving you something. It's still your interest.
B
Okay, what about a student voucher program? I would vote for a student voucher program. That would be me getting something.
A
All right, so you disagree with my summation that blacks vote for stuff for them.
B
No, I agree with your summation. I think it is tied with like every voter. I think every vote. Vote.
A
Everyone's the same.
B
No, not everyone is the same. I think everyone chills it with their own interest at heart.
A
Right, but your interest is being left alone. Their interest is getting free shit. So that's what I'm saying. It's different. Yes, my interest is being left alone as well. Yes, I'd like to be left alone. But they're not really me voting to get money or reparations or anything. It's just being left alone. Yeah, still my interests, but not getting shit.
B
And I'm saying that I don't think you can say it's just black people.
A
I never said it's just black people.
B
No one ever said they were number one.
A
They're number one. Okay, well are they above Asian or are we tied? Is everything the same?
B
I think it needs to be divided into left and right. I think that many people on the left are voting for free education, relief of student debt.
A
There is that. But most the people I know on the left are just voting for like gay rights and abortion rights. And there's 60 year old women who aren't getting an abortion and who aren't gay and aren't lesbian who are voting for this shit for them. I can see that that's what they're doing. That's what most of people and everyone I know who votes to the left is doing it for black rights, gay rights, abortion rights. And they're not black, they're not gay, and they're too old to have kids. Yeah, that's what I'm saying now. Still what they want. But they're not getting an abortion. So like abortion is a huge issue amongst women who aren't getting abortions.
B
I know. Did you see all the like the. No Kings protests. And it's all these old white ladies. It's like, do boomers not have anything better to do? I was driving by some over the weekend, and it's like, it's all old people.
A
It's all like, 70% women.
B
Yes.
A
It's crazy. They had one in Nebraska. I almost killed myself. I was like, I went to Nebraska to get away from the no Kings thing.
B
And it was still there.
A
Still there.
B
Eight million people, they said.
A
Eight million nationally.
B
Eight million nationally turned out.
A
Bruce Springsteen's got a song about people getting shot in Minnesota, everybody.
B
Speaking of reparations, we have a clip from progressive Representative Pramila Jayapal. Yeah, she's calling for reparations for. Wait for it. Illegal immigrants.
A
Oh, yeah.
B
Not even Americans.
A
We gotta get the rich people to pay their fair share so we can
B
give money to illegal immigrants who have been traumatized by ice. She said that they need to be paid. They need to be paid reparations over alleged trauma that they sustained from the Trump administration's crackdown and ICE operations in the United States. Jayapal made the shocking revelation. This is according to her friends over at the California Post on Friday in front of a panel of experts during a hearing she hosted titled, quote, kidnapped and disappeared. Trump's attack on children.
A
Man. Yeah. So many kids. Legal citizens has been sent off to sweatshops.
B
No mention of the 300,000 children missing under the Biden Harris administration. Like, none. None of that.
A
No problem.
C
Offensive actions around prosecutions. We need real accountability because at the end of the day, the people that have been inflicting this harm need to be prosecuted. They need to be brought before us, and they need to be held account for the trauma that they have created. And we are going to have to have some form of reparation.
B
This woman is a ranking. So she's 60 years old. She immigrated to the United States from India. She's been a frequent Trump critic. It's kind of fascinating to me. She's a ranking member on the House Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security and Enforcement, and that's the language that she's using.
A
I don't even. Like, they are so high on their own supply. Like, they just sit around, they go, ice rogue organization. That's just rogue. Like, it is. Like, how does it function? It just does what it does. I don't know. Dawson, are you in ice? Maybe. It could be. Maybe. Who knows, right? You just do what you want, right? Why don't you just head out to the San Fernando Valley and grab some Mexicans and just throw Them in Tijuana. Because you're gone rogue, man. That's the plan. That's the plan.
B
Can you citizens arrest illegal citizens?
A
I don't know. Who's in ice, who isn't in ice? It's a race rogue. I don't know. Is the fire department rogue? It's what we like to call it, this. The secret police. Secret police? You disappear people. That's right.
B
Do you have an unmarked van and a mask?
A
Everything's unmarked, Dawson. Is your truck's unmarked, right? Toyota. Well, that's the only mark. Yeah. Yeah. So what we do is, you know, we'll just shoot American citizens and then disappear kids and then pull. My favorite move that we do is pulling children from the arms of their moms. That's what. You know what I realized? I was talking to Dr. Drew about this. Everything in the left's head is some sort of cosplay comic book thing. It's.
C
It's.
A
It's all comic book shit. It's all like. You know what I say to Dr. Drew when you listen to Joe Biden? Mm. Joe Biden's whole thing was, I'm retired from politics, and I'm just gonna hang out and mourn the loss of my son. So his whole thing was. You can find the clip, Dawson. He's like, my son died, and I'm just gonna sit home and mourn it. Okay? But he turned on the TV and saw racist coming from the woods with bloodshot eyes and torches. And he stood up. But here's what I'm saying. Picture this like it's a.
B
It's a Marvel movie.
A
You know what? I'll just say yes. But I will also say when you storyboard stuff, like in Hollywood, you storyboard stuff. So you'd have a storyboard of a guy, the beginning. The beginning would be Joe Biden looking at a picture of his son dead with the. With the American flag folded in a triangle, you know, and he's just looking at it. Then all of a sudden, next scene, him looking up and seeing the TV set. And then a bunch of guys with veins bulging in their eyes holding torches, and they're coming from the forest. And then the next scene, Joe Biden, hero, standing up, right? Standing up, huh? What's going on, Joe, you said you were going to retire. That's the. That's the scene with the. With the. With the wife saying, joe, you sit down. Here's some. Post them. No, no, no. I stood up. I have to fight. I have to stop racism. I'm going to do something. And then the next scene is you standing in front of everyone talking about racism and white supremacy. It's like. It's like they storyboard this shit. Oh, what are these ice guys? Do you. They barge into houses, they grab infants, they tear them from them. You can storyboard the whole thing. And then what do you do, hero? I stand up and I fight. Except for your fucking pussy. And you don't do anything. But it's all Hollywood and it's all storyboarded, and it all makes them guess. Dawson, are you sitting down? Guess who the hero is at the end. It's them. They're the hero because they stood up and they went in march and they had their voices heard, but they didn't do shit. They gotta. You gotta go stand up. They stood up, they marched. Let your voice be heard. Their voices were heard. Yeah, that's right. Because what? Storyboard all the things they talk about. Just storyboard it and realize it's just a fucking Hollywood story and nothing ever happens. They never get shot. There's no real bullets flying. They're never in harm's way. They just storyboard it.
B
One of the ladies that was out at the no Kings protest, I think she was interviewed by her friends over at the Daily Wire, was talking about how, like, well, as a white woman, this is the best thing I can be doing. And I have to do this because if black people come do this, they're gonna be the first to get arrested.
A
Oh, yeah, yeah.
B
And it's like. But statistically, that's not true. And for people who talk about white savior complex being bad and how capitalists have a white savior complex and that's evil and wrong, they sure do sound like they have a white savior complex. Like, if I don't do this thing, no one else will.
A
Yeah, I heard that clip. And by the way, I don't know if black people just march with the no Kings ladies. Yeah, they're gonna get arrested first.
B
That's what they said. They're at risk of being arrested first.
A
All right, one more story.
B
One more story we got right here. So our good friend in the squad, aoc, that galactually felt like maybe it was telepathy. I put on red lipstick today. She loves to wear her red lipstick even though she's a member of the Blue Dog Democrats. Anyway, a watchdog group filed a federal election complaint alleging that Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, a Democrat of New York, of course, improperly used campaign funds to pay nearly $19,000 to a Boston based psychiatrist for what her campaign reported as leadership training and consulting. And I use quotation marks around that.
A
Well, I mean, she. It's therapy, right?
B
It's essentially therapy. Like.
A
Well, but you understand, during January 6th, she thought she was gonna be killed. Or worse. Or worse, maybe raped and killed. And she was super worried about that. Except for she wasn't in the building where she was.
B
And when that actually happened to women at the Nova Festival, she didn't give a shit.
A
But she didn't give a shit when it happened at Israel Women.
B
Yeah.
A
But.
B
Yeah, $19,000. How much time passed this?
A
Well, she needs therapy from almost being raped and killed, an event that she wasn't involved in.
B
So, apparently, the National Legal and Policy center alleged in a March 27 complaint to the Federal Election Commission and the Office of Congressional Conduct that Ocasio Cortez and her campaign committee and its treasurer should be investigated over the payments in 2025. So it was a little bit after January 6th. So this is like, not January 6th. Happy?
A
Yeah. But the trauma lingers on.
B
The trauma lingered. The Boston based psychiatrist, Dr. Brian Boyle. $18,725.
A
Here's Biden doing his race hustle at the Democratic National Convention. He's a hero, though. Storyboard this story for president in 2020. Because of what I saw in Charlottesville. I stood out in August of 2017. Charlottesville. Extremists coming out of the woods carrying torches. Storyboard. Their veins bulging. Veins bulging from their necks. Their necks carrying Nazi swastikas. Yep. He stood up the same exact anti Semitic bile that was heard in Germany in the early 30s. He stood up because he's a hero. He's a hero. Yeah.
B
Okay, everybody, can we storyboard the AOC now? Like, almost killed. Not in the building.
A
I don't know. It's gonna go along with this shit. Biden's a retard, by the way. And by the way, he's a sociopath and he's a narcissist. Like, he ran for president to stop racism and then went and just talked about racism the whole time and made it worse. Nice job, Joe. And you know what? People are way too forgiving. They're as forgiving with Joe Biden as they are with COVID Shit. These people should be punished. It's not like I got it wrong. Fuck you. You got it wrong. And you hurt a lot of people. And you did it on purpose.
B
Yep.
A
All right, Alicia, where do we plug?
