Speaker 1 (00:00):
If you burn a flag, you get one year in jail.
No early exits, no nothing. You get one year in jail.
If you burn a flag, you get And what it
does is insight to write. I hope they use that language.
By the way, did that insight to riot? And you
burn a flag, you get one year in jail. You
don't get ten years, you don't get one month. You
(00:21):
get one year in jail and it goes on your record.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Can you feel the freedom, ladies and gentlemen, one year
in prison if you burn our beloved American flag. Wow,
I've never felt more patriotic in my entire life now,
Setting aside the fact that the American flag, and if
there is any reason to love it or cherish it
for that matter, is because of what it symbolizes. Now,
what does it symbolize? Well, right to self defense, free speech,
(00:47):
all of the things enshrined to the Bill of Rights.
For instance, what's one of those things that's enshrining the
Bill of right? Oh, it happens to be the first amendment.
It happens to be the very first thing, and it
happens to be freedom of expression, which that very sad
court adjudicated all the way back in nineteen eighty nine.
I think it was Johnson versus Texas that, in fact,
(01:07):
flag burning, specifically American flag burning, is a constitutionally protected right.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Lastly, sir, this is an executive order on flag burning
that charges your attorney general. When you listen to this,
this is a very point flag burning all over the country.
They're burning flags all over the world. They burn the
American flag, and as you know, through a very sad court.
I guess it was a five to four decision. They
called it freedom of speech. But there's another reason, which
(01:37):
is perhaps much more important. It's called death. Because what
happens when you burn a flag is the area goes crazy.
If you have hundreds of people, they go crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
You could do other things, you can.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Burn this piece of paper, you could, and it's but
when you burn the American flag, it incites riots at
levels that we've never seen before. People crazy in a
way both ways. There's some that are going crazy for
doing it. There are others that are angry angry about
them doing it.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
So why would Trump do this? Well, there was a
major outcry just a few weeks ago that there was
a ruling from a court in America that said that
the Israeli flag was equal or being equated to that
of being Jewish, and therefore to damage the Israeli flag
(02:31):
could be construed as a hate crime. There's also very
famous examples of people being arrested for burning gay Pride
flags or doing burnouts on these painted gay Pride flag crosswalks.
In most instances, though, particularly when it comes to specifically
burning those flags, it was a consequence of people stealing
(02:52):
other people's property, taking their pride flag and lighting it ablaze.
It wasn't you know, people that were purchasing gay Pride
flags and then letting them on fire, which would be
constitutionally protected. It was the theft of that property which
then made it a crime. Now there may be additional
penalties that are attempted to be applied under hate crime laws,
which you ought to oppose. Hate crime laws, as I've said,
(03:14):
are a very slippery slope to the erosion of your
rights and trying in the Bill of rights. This is
a great example of that. And you've got Matt Walsh
and Ruffo and all of the usual characters coming out
in defense of Trump's executive order from a couple hours ago,
and they're saying essentially that, well, we cherish and defend
and protect the gay pride flag or the transflag or
(03:37):
whatever else, so therefore the American flag should also be protected,
as opposed to the obvious answer, which is that none
of these pieces of cloth should have any protection. That
you ought to have the right to light a blaze
any of them, as long as they're your own personal
property and as long as you're not doing so in
a way that would jeopardize a wider forest fire or
something crazy like that. That is really the reason that
(04:01):
the American flag is valuable, right, Well, at least that's
what I thought. That's the reason I thought that we
pledged allegiance to it. Well, I tried not to in
high school. I actually got suspended and thrown the attention
because I refused to stand up. I've been a bit
out of a serial with people in authority my entire
life and true story. I was put in I don't
(04:22):
know what was it Saturday school. They were not happy
with me anyways. The reason that I thought that there
was any reason to respect the American flag was because
it was symbolic of these rights that we hold so dearly.
And the reason that you would like the American flag
ablaze was not to demonstrate your hatred of America or Americans,
but rather the government and it's failings in defending those rights.
(04:43):
So is the American flag actually worth defending? Well, if
it's to the detriment of the rights for which it represents,
then the answer must be no. And if you think otherwise,
then I don't think you're actually respecting or honoring what
that flag represents. And it's so disappointing every time I
see a true blue, red, white and blue bleeding conservative
(05:09):
come out in defense of these laws, these obvious infringements
on our right. It was actually Supreme Court Justice Antonin
Scalia who said, if it were up to me, I
would put in jail every sandal wearing, scruffy bearded weirdo
who burns the American flag. And then he continued, but
I am not king, and then he voted against criminalizing
the burning of the American flag. Wise, words, Antonin Scalia,
(05:32):
if only as one of the more ardent conservative justices,
Donald Trump would listen to your very intelligent analysis of
our rights and why a law such as this should
not exist. So, just to make sure that I'm being
fair to Matt Walsh, let's actually read exactly what he says.
He says, Yes, make it a crime to burn the
American flag. Desecration of the gay Pride flag is already
(05:54):
prosecuted as a hate crime in this country. No more
double standards. If the sacred symbol of the LGBT T
cult is protected, American flag should be two simple as that. Well, no,
it's actually not that simple, Matt. It's not The LGBT
symbol should not be cherished and protected either. That's the
obvious answer here. So while I agree with your critique
(06:16):
of these laws that put special protections around symbols of
ideologies which you disagree with, and I totally respect your
opinion on that, Well, the answer is not to then
apply the same unconstitutional, what I think are clearly illegal laws,
especially the fact that Trump's is doing this by executive order.
How the fuck are you crafting laws via FIAT as
(06:40):
the executive that could actually put Americans in prison? When
did we start doing that? That the president is able
to just criminalize things willy nilly seems pretty absurd. But
as I said, the obvious answer is to make it
so that there are no hate crime laws, that there
are no protected pieces of cloth that represent ideologies that
you hate, Because there are ideologies like the one you hold,
(07:04):
Matt Walsh, that many in America also hate, and they
would love to criminalize. And for that reason, some of
them would like to ban the waving of the flag itself.
Would you permit them to do so? The answer is
obviously no. But yet you would then make it a
law to permit them from desecrating this flag that you cherish,
completely doing away with the value of that piece of
(07:26):
cloth in the first place. Why it matters to you
and to me. If that's not self defeating, I don't
know what it is. So I made a post that's
going kind of viral, and I said that I've never
wanted to burn an American flag, but I might do
it today now that Trump violated the First Amendment by
making the legal I was sincere in saying that I
don't think that I'll actually, you know, go buy a
flag just to light on fire to make my point.
But yeah, like, this was the first time in a
(07:50):
very very long time, other than maybe during the War
on Terror or something where I actually sincerely thought about
it or the lockdowns. I definitely thought about it during
the lockdowns. But yeah, it's when you late my rights,
it makes me want to hold on to them even harder.
Just as during the lockdown era, that was the first
time I went and got a gun because I was like, oh,
my rights, my property rights are being violated in such
(08:10):
an overway that and totalitarian really had curfews and what
time you could go out and where you could go,
and I mean it was insane. It's like, yeah, all right,
well I better fucking hold on to these liberties that
I have left, Especially in California. At the time, it
was like, well, it's very hard to acquire a gun.
You better get it while you can, because I thought,
who knows. If they think they can dictate what businesses
(08:31):
can remain open and what beaches I could use, well,
then they certainly could try and take whatever remaining gun
rights I have in California. If you're not aware, it's
already very challenging to own a firearm. So that's the
same feeling I get with Donald Trump doing this and
now to steal men his position. There are a lot
of people that hate this country sincerely, that are like
enemies of America, that are getting American flags and then
(08:55):
lighting them blaze in protest of this country, and they're
doing it in America, and that doesn't make me feel good.
I don't enjoy watching people that hate me and hate
this country and hate what it stands for, purchase this
flag and then light it a blaze to make their point.
But I'm not going to sacrifice my own ability to
do so to protest my own government just to stop
(09:15):
the people that I hate from doing something that I
don't like. You understand, like, is that not obvious to
everybody that if I don't have that right, then also
the people in this country that are also citizens ought
to have that right, because if they don't, I won't either.
So with that viral post, I got a ton of replies,
and granted, most people are agreeing with me, and I
appreciate that, but there was a lot of you know,
(09:35):
big all caps maga hats out there that I responded
to me furious and defending Donald Trump's move. There go
through some examples. They said, then you should move to
another country. Most countries would unalive you for burning their flag.
You just lost all your credibility. Well, sir, I don't
think that's quite true. I don't think I'm gonna lose
my credibility for defending the First Amendment. That would be weird,
(10:00):
weird reason for me to lose my credibility. But sitting
on aside, let's just go through the argument here. So,
because I am defending the rights that are unique to America,
you're going to point to a country that is less
free than America to demonstrate why America should be less free?
Can you not see the obvious contradiction in this argument?
(10:20):
It's mad. I mean, there are lots of countries that
wouldn't allow me to purchase a gun. Should I accept
the banning of firearms in America because I couldn't buy
one in I don't know, Guatemala or some shit like
fuck you? And I've got a net saying. He didn't
say you can't do it. You can still light it up.
You can still light up our beloved flag. You'll just
have to pay a penalty. Oh. One of my favorite arguments,
(10:43):
kind of like the the masks and vax requirements. They
didn't say that you have to get it. They just
said that you couldn't work if you didn't. Well, that's
quite kind of coercive, now, isn't it. Well, they didn't
say you can't murder people, you just have to serve
twenty to thirty years in prison if you do it. Well, yeah,
that's kind of an infringement on my right to self
(11:03):
expression when it comes to burning a flag. No, it's
obviously I'm not arguing in favor of doing away with
murder crimes because there's a real victim there. But there
is no victim when it comes to me lighting my
own personal property on fire, unless you're some Green New
Deal lunatic and thinks that the carbon dioxide is an
existential threat and therefore we must ban it for that reason.
But that's not the argument you're making. Then this is
(11:26):
always my favorite when shit like this happens. We've got
anti Kammi Tommy, very anti communists, says, if you do
it in public place, hopefully you're arrested for arson. Now,
I'll admit, if I were to light anything on fire
in public and jeopardize other people, then yeah, that should
probably be illegal. But if I were to, as a
form of protest of my government, which is literally as
(11:48):
American as it gets, put an American flag on the
sidewalk and let it on fire, you could look through
the civil rights movement. You could look through the anti
Vietnam protests, you could look through all protests. Basically, there
are examples of American citizens peace fully lighting an American
flag on fire on the street to demonstrate their very
significant and sincere anger against the government's actions during that period.
(12:09):
That should not be charged with arson. And it's incredibly
ironic that a guy anti Tommy would be arguing for
gulags for I don't know, insulting the honor of the state,
really anti commedy. And it gets even better in his
bio it says I can govern myself. Well, no, you
(12:30):
fucking can't, tom No, you can't actually, and you're about
as close to Akami as I've encountered, especially when you're
describing yourself as antidad. Just disappointing, seriously, sincerely disappointing that
while I would probably agree with you on ninety five
percent of things, that you would describe yourself as anti
communists trying to create law to defend a piece of cloth,
(12:51):
which is to honor the government. Hello, think these things through, please,
And then another line of defense has been consistently received
by me, saying go into any other country and burn
their flag in a public setting and come back if
you make it back and tell us how that worked
out for you. That's not the fucking point here, ladies
and gentlemen. I'm not going into some other foreign country
(13:12):
and doing this, and you're right, I probably would be
arrested and jailed for doing so. But that's because those
countries suck. That's because they're not America. That's because they
don't have our rights enshrined as America does. And you're
arguing that because those other countries which suck, don't have
these rights, we should also suck. What the fuck are
(13:34):
you talking about? Think about what you're saying. And then
her defense of that is that there's some BS charges
that were brought where this guy was facing fifteen years
in Iowa jail for burning a Pride flag. It's like, yeah,
but I don't agree with those laws. And then I
ask her and she says, yeah, I don't agree with
those laws either. It's like, okay, well, then we're on
the same page here. Those are bullshit laws, because there
(13:57):
should be no piece of cloth that you can't light
a blaze in protest that would cause you to serve
significant prison time. This is madness. But that you're arguing
because of these bullshit laws, that we should have additional
bullshit laws defend the piece of cloth that you value.
Come on, now, while Trump said very explicitly that if
you burn a flag, you're going to prison for a year,
(14:17):
he then turns to his assistant to basically detail what
it's about, and he is not making it that overt. Basically,
what they're doing is they're crafting a law to try
and circumvent your First Amendment rights. So let's go through
the executive order and read it to make sure that
we're not being Pannikins says. Prosecuting burning of the American
Flag Executive Order August twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, which
(14:39):
is today says, by the authority vested to me as
President by the Constitution and the laws of the United
States of America is hereby ordered. God damn it. That
makes me angry when you sign off on an executive
order that violates the Constitution, saying that you're doing this
under the authority vested to you by the Constitution. Disgusting
Section one purpose. American flag is the most sacred and
(15:01):
cherish symbol of the United States of America and of
American freedom, identity, and strength. I would argue its bill
of rights, but whatever, Over nearly two and a half centuries,
many thousands of American patriots have fought, bled and died
to keep the stars and stripes waving proudly. The American
flag is a special symbol in our national life that
should unite and represent all Americans of every background and
walk of life. Desecrating it is uniquely offensive and provocative.
(15:24):
It is a statement of contempt, hostility, and violence against
our nation, the clearest possible expression of opposition to the
political union that preserves our rights, liberty, and security. Well
what are some of those rights that it's preserving. Freedom
of expression, protest, right to redress your grievances against your government.
Well I can't do that now because of this executive order.
Burning this representation of America may incite violence and riot. Yeah,
(15:48):
well you could do a lot of things that might
incite violence and riots. Are we just going to ban
all of that that? This is actually a really important point.
Murray Rothbart talked about this, and I agree with Rothbart,
not surprisingly because I agree with him on basically everything.
Incitement laws are bullshit, Like, if you this is especially
for a Trump supporter, given that so many of the
(16:08):
people that were prosecuted on J six were prosecuted for
incitement of a riot. It's like, if you riot and
you burn stuff and you're violent towards people, yes, that
should all be criminalized. If you are saying things that
get a crowd riled up and then they go commit crimes,
did you eliminate human volition? Are they now just your puppets?
(16:30):
It's absurd, but this is how they essentially go after
speech that the government doesn't like because of the actions
of people that aren't you. I don't think that that's
just at all personal continuing, American flag burning is also
used by groups of foreign nationals as a calculated act
to intimidate and threaten violence against Americans because of their
nationality in place of birth. Well, that sounds like safe
(16:51):
space bullshit to me. But also, if these are foreign nationals,
why are they here? Didn't you campaign on deporting these people?
So if they're here burning the flag, shouldn't they be
deported not because they're burning the flag, but because they're
here illegally? So do we have to have laws to
protect the flag when these people shouldn't even be here
in the first place, I guess you just don't plan
(17:12):
on deporting them, continuing, notwithstanding the Supreme Court's ruling on
First Amendment protections, the Court has never held that American
flag desecration conducted in a manner that is likely to
incite imminent lawless action, or that in an action amounting
to fighting words, is constitutionally protected. So there's the work around.
They're basically acknowledging that, yes, it is your constitutional right
(17:33):
to burn the American flag. They are then arguing that
the Supreme Court has not ruled on whether or not
burning it in an attempt to incite a riot. I
guess or violence would therefore be constitutional to outlaw and
criminalize and prosecute cases of that. I don't know how
you're going to prove that someone is lighting the American
(17:54):
flag on fire with the intention of inciting riots and violence.
But that's there are that they're gone for, he continues,
My administration will act to restore respect and sanctity to
the American flag and prosecute those who incite violence or
otherwise violate our laws while desecrating the symbol of our
country to the fullest extent permissible under any available authority.
Section two, Measures to combat desecration of the American Flag.
(18:17):
The Attorney General shall prioritize the enforcement, to the fullest
extent possible of our nation's criminal and civil laws against
acts of American flag desecration that violate applicable content neutral
laws while causing harm unrelated to expression consistent with the
First Amendment. This may include, but is not limited to,
violent crimes, hate crimes, a legal discrimination against American citizens
or other violations of American civil rights, and crimes against
(18:39):
property and the peace, as well as conspiracies and attempts
to violate and aiding and abetting others to violate such laws.
In cases where the Department of Justice or another executive
department or agency determine that an instance of American flag
desecration may violate an applicable state or local law, such
as open burning restrictions, disorderly conduct laws, or destruction of
property laws, the agency shall refer the matter to a
(18:59):
pro bread state or local authority for potential action. I
don't have a problem with that one. I mean, if
you're burning someone else's flag and their property, or you're
lighting it on fire and then you're damaging someone else's property,
then you ought to be responsible for that. That makes sense,
but that's not you know, that should be the limiting
principle there See, to the maximum extent permitted by the Constitution,
the Attorney General shall vigorously prosecute those who violate our
(19:21):
laws in ways that involve desecrating the American Flag, and
may pursue litigation to clarify the scope of the First
Amendment exceptions in this area. Well, that's notable because it
sounds as if they are pushing this EO to challenge
that ruling from nineteen eighty nine Johnson Verse Texas as
to whether or not burning the American flag is constitutional
(19:42):
at all. So that would be very bad if that
were to happen. D Secretary of State, the AG and
the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting within their respective authorities,
shall deny, prohibit, terminate, or revoke visas, residents permits, naturalization proceedings,
and other immigration benefits, or seek removal from the United
States where wherever there has been an appropriate determination that
foreign nationals have engaged in American flag desecration activity under
(20:05):
circumstances that permit the exercise of such remedies. Pursuant to
federal law. So essentially, they're saying they're going to use
these laws to deport people that are here that are
not citizens, so not just illegal immigrants, but people on
visas too. It sounds like, so this is just a
continuation of this policy that they seem to be trying
to use to get rid of not just illegal immigrants,
(20:25):
but also foreign nationals that are here legally. So well, Trump,
who is this just extraordinary hawk against China? Which in
some ways I understand that, but in other ways I
totally disagree. I don't want to go down the real
antagonistic war path with them. But yeah, he's saying, six
hundred thousand Chinese students annually are going to be allowed
(20:46):
to come to America.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
President, she would like me to come to China. It's
a very important relationship. As you know, we're taking a
lot of money and from China because of the tariffs
and different things, and it's a very important relationship. We're
going to get along good with China. I hear so
many stories about we're not going to allow their students.
So now we're going to allow their students to come,
and we're going to allow It's very important, six hundred
(21:10):
thousand students. It's very important. But we're going to get
along with China. But it's a different relationship that we
have now with China. It's a much better relationship economically
than it was before. With Biden. What he allowed that,
I mean, they just took him to the trainers, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
And it's like, I just don't know how his supporter's square.
And I know many of his supporters are upset about this,
so let me be clear about that. But I don't
know how his supporters square his antagonistic talk about China.
They're basically stealing rip and terrible trade deals and taking
advantage of us, and also about to take on Taiwan
(21:45):
and also responsible for the creation of COVID and blah
blah blah, on and on and on, and human rights
violations and everything else. And also he's a borderhawk simultaneously
and saying he's going to deport millions of people, but
then also this country, who's our number one adversary. If
you talk to Trump in any of his inner circle,
we're going to let six hundred thousand four nationals from
(22:06):
China come and study here. I would love to have
a real journalist in that room to actually ask a
fucking question, which would be novel because that never happens,
as to like, what are we doing? Are they our
enemy or aren't they And if they are our enemy,
why are you letting them in? And if they're not
our enemy? Okay, well then yeah, sure you're letting them in,
and that makes sense. But also you said that you
(22:26):
were gonna have mass deportations, but you're still letting six
hundred thousand people from this country that we allegedly are
top enemy. And what's the rationale. It's all so fucking
convoluted and confusing and misleading. I don't know how people
square it. I really don't. Let's listen to the last
bit of his press conference.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
The people in this country don't want to see our
American flag burned and spit on, and by people that
are in many cases paid agitators. They're paid by the
radical left to do it. You talk to these people,
they don't even know half of them, don't even know
what they're doing. They gave me money to do this.
(23:03):
I see the same things that did the bad people
that are trying to destroy a nation.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
The obvious answer there is prosecute the people that are
funding fucking riots due why are you not doing that.
I haven't heard of any charges being brought. If anybody
is aware, please drop in the chattel. I'll certainly look
into it. But that's the answer. If you want to
make the argument that Soros or whoever else whatever fucking
NGO network is arming and funding these terrorsts, well that
happens more overseas than it does here. But certainly there
(23:29):
are funding operations that are ran to create domestic protests
like color revolutions happen in America too. Hate to break
it to you, and I think they're front to buy
our own government. But setting that aside, to prosecute that,
you don't have to criminalize American citizens burning their own
flag to deal with that problem. So once again missing
the mark, missing the target, and diminishing our rights to
(23:51):
then defend a piece of cloth that no longer represents
the rights that I hold, deer, that's the whole reason
that there's value in the fucking piece of cloth in
the first place. If you diminish that, then I don't honor,
I don't respect, I will not worship a piece of
cloth that doesn't represent the values that it's supposed to.
So you're actually making me not respect and appreciate the
American flag because of what you're doing, because of your
(24:11):
actions today, because of the EO that you just signed.
Do you understand is this not obvious? So there you
have it. We're gonna tread the Bill of Rights to
defend the flag that the flag is supposed to represent
those rights. Look, it's just fucking bloomer con garbage, nott Walls, churs, Trump, fuck.
(24:32):
I hate this stuff and I just I cannot stand it.
They augh. Look, I don't want there to be defended
pieces of cloth of foreign nations, Israel, or ideologies that
I don't agree with, the TQ plus elementop shit. And
(24:52):
also despite the fact that I love America and what
the American flag is supposed to represent, I absolutely have
a god given right to redress my grievances, to light
that fucking flag on fire if I so choose, especially
if my government is behaving in a tyrannical or totalitarian fashion,
which they have in recent memory. You will not criminalize that.
(25:14):
And as far as I'm concerned, America would be a
far better country and in a far better place if
one hundred thousand people went to DC to protest this
EO today, Like, that's how I feel about it. Now.
Is this the biggest deal in the world. No, it's not.
But it is just a microcosm of the broader infringements
(25:37):
on our rights that we've been languishing under for fucking decades,
really one hundred plus years. It's sick, it's disgusting, it's reprehensible.
And yeah, I fucking voted for Trump, and no I
don't agree with this. I hate it, just as I
hated and spoke out very loudly against his decision to
bomb Moran. It's terrible. Doesn't mean that I'm a Democrat.
(25:59):
It doesn't mean that Kamala Harris would have been a
better option. Still not arguing that, still don't think it's true.
I think she would have done dumb shit like this too.
But this is just bad. This is like red meat
to the most unthinking aspects of his base. By the way,
the same people that would deface the American flag by
(26:19):
putting the fucking thin blue line on it, those are
the people that would probably be the first to line
up to sign on to this EO saying that you
cannot burn the flag you're desecrating it, dumbfuck Hello, Uh sorry,
I've I got a lot of really angry replies to
my posts and I think it triggered me a bit.
So this is more self care and therapy to get
(26:41):
this all off my chest. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it,
and I hope you agree. If you don't tell me
why I'm wrong, drop it down below. I do read them,
I do reply. Try not to be insulting. I will
block you, but feel free to reply and let me
know why I'm wrong. Why is burning the American flag,
which is symbolic of our god given fucking rights, a
(27:02):
way to defend our god given rights by getting rid
of those rights? Good luck? Good luck making that argument
to me. But I welcome you to try. If you'd

make it go viral. I would appreciate the help. Yeah,
you guys are the best, see you so pease. Oh,
by the way, I accidentally there was an update on streamyard.
You can anybody else that uses streamer, I could verify this.
There was an update on stream yard that put in
(27:44):
a face filter, and I did not recognize that it
was turned on when I did my episode yesterday. So
by the time I realized, I was like, dude, I'm
looking fucking pretty today. And then I see the comments
and I'm like, oh, yeah, there is a face filter on. Oops.
But I wasn't going to rerecord the episode, you know,
so you have one one episode of me looking like
(28:07):
an ethought with all of my lines and you know,
blemishes and shit shown to the world or hidden from
the world. Now now you get to see them again.
So I hope you're fucking happy. You guys are merciless. Man.
I honestly did not put it on. I did not
mean to have it on, but I wasn't going to record,
you know, another episode just to get rid of that filter.
So you can clown on me. I don't give a shit.
(28:29):
It's funny, but yeah, now you get to see that
real me, as ugly and pretty as I can be.
Thank you, guys, I'll see you so pease.
If you burn a flag, you get one year in jail.
No early exits, no nothing. You get one year in jail.
If you burn a flag, you get And what it
does is insight to write. I hope they use that language.
By the way, did that insight to riot? And you
burn a flag, you get one year in jail. You
don't get ten years, you don't get one month. You
(00:21):
get one year in jail and it goes on your record.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Can you feel the freedom, ladies and gentlemen, one year
in prison if you burn our beloved American flag. Wow,
I've never felt more patriotic in my entire life now,
Setting aside the fact that the American flag, and if
there is any reason to love it or cherish it
for that matter, is because of what it symbolizes. Now,
what does it symbolize? Well, right to self defense, free speech,
(00:47):
all of the things enshrined to the Bill of Rights.
For instance, what's one of those things that's enshrining the
Bill of right? Oh, it happens to be the first amendment.
It happens to be the very first thing, and it
happens to be freedom of expression, which that very sad
court adjudicated all the way back in nineteen eighty nine.
I think it was Johnson versus Texas that, in fact,
(01:07):
flag burning, specifically American flag burning, is a constitutionally protected right.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Lastly, sir, this is an executive order on flag burning
that charges your attorney general. When you listen to this,
this is a very point flag burning all over the country.
They're burning flags all over the world. They burn the
American flag, and as you know, through a very sad court.
I guess it was a five to four decision. They
called it freedom of speech. But there's another reason, which
(01:37):
is perhaps much more important. It's called death. Because what
happens when you burn a flag is the area goes crazy.
If you have hundreds of people, they go crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
You could do other things, you can.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Burn this piece of paper, you could, and it's but
when you burn the American flag, it incites riots at
levels that we've never seen before. People crazy in a
way both ways. There's some that are going crazy for
doing it. There are others that are angry angry about
them doing it.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
So why would Trump do this? Well, there was a
major outcry just a few weeks ago that there was
a ruling from a court in America that said that
the Israeli flag was equal or being equated to that
of being Jewish, and therefore to damage the Israeli flag
(02:31):
could be construed as a hate crime. There's also very
famous examples of people being arrested for burning gay Pride
flags or doing burnouts on these painted gay Pride flag crosswalks.
In most instances, though, particularly when it comes to specifically
burning those flags, it was a consequence of people stealing
(02:52):
other people's property, taking their pride flag and lighting it ablaze.
It wasn't you know, people that were purchasing gay Pride
flags and then letting them on fire, which would be
constitutionally protected. It was the theft of that property which
then made it a crime. Now there may be additional
penalties that are attempted to be applied under hate crime laws,
which you ought to oppose. Hate crime laws, as I've said,
(03:14):
are a very slippery slope to the erosion of your
rights and trying in the Bill of rights. This is
a great example of that. And you've got Matt Walsh
and Ruffo and all of the usual characters coming out
in defense of Trump's executive order from a couple hours ago,
and they're saying essentially that, well, we cherish and defend
and protect the gay pride flag or the transflag or
(03:37):
whatever else, so therefore the American flag should also be protected,
as opposed to the obvious answer, which is that none
of these pieces of cloth should have any protection. That
you ought to have the right to light a blaze
any of them, as long as they're your own personal
property and as long as you're not doing so in
a way that would jeopardize a wider forest fire or
something crazy like that. That is really the reason that
(04:01):
the American flag is valuable, right, Well, at least that's
what I thought. That's the reason I thought that we
pledged allegiance to it. Well, I tried not to in
high school. I actually got suspended and thrown the attention
because I refused to stand up. I've been a bit
out of a serial with people in authority my entire
life and true story. I was put in I don't
(04:22):
know what was it Saturday school. They were not happy
with me anyways. The reason that I thought that there
was any reason to respect the American flag was because
it was symbolic of these rights that we hold so dearly.
And the reason that you would like the American flag
ablaze was not to demonstrate your hatred of America or Americans,
but rather the government and it's failings in defending those rights.
(04:43):
So is the American flag actually worth defending? Well, if
it's to the detriment of the rights for which it represents,
then the answer must be no. And if you think otherwise,
then I don't think you're actually respecting or honoring what
that flag represents. And it's so disappointing every time I
see a true blue, red, white and blue bleeding conservative
(05:09):
come out in defense of these laws, these obvious infringements
on our right. It was actually Supreme Court Justice Antonin
Scalia who said, if it were up to me, I
would put in jail every sandal wearing, scruffy bearded weirdo
who burns the American flag. And then he continued, but
I am not king, and then he voted against criminalizing
the burning of the American flag. Wise, words, Antonin Scalia,
(05:32):
if only as one of the more ardent conservative justices,
Donald Trump would listen to your very intelligent analysis of
our rights and why a law such as this should
not exist. So, just to make sure that I'm being
fair to Matt Walsh, let's actually read exactly what he says.
He says, Yes, make it a crime to burn the
American flag. Desecration of the gay Pride flag is already
(05:54):
prosecuted as a hate crime in this country. No more
double standards. If the sacred symbol of the LGBT T
cult is protected, American flag should be two simple as that. Well, no,
it's actually not that simple, Matt. It's not The LGBT
symbol should not be cherished and protected either. That's the
obvious answer here. So while I agree with your critique
(06:16):
of these laws that put special protections around symbols of
ideologies which you disagree with, and I totally respect your
opinion on that, Well, the answer is not to then
apply the same unconstitutional, what I think are clearly illegal laws,
especially the fact that Trump's is doing this by executive order.
How the fuck are you crafting laws via FIAT as
(06:40):
the executive that could actually put Americans in prison? When
did we start doing that? That the president is able
to just criminalize things willy nilly seems pretty absurd. But
as I said, the obvious answer is to make it
so that there are no hate crime laws, that there
are no protected pieces of cloth that represent ideologies that
you hate, Because there are ideologies like the one you hold,
(07:04):
Matt Walsh, that many in America also hate, and they
would love to criminalize. And for that reason, some of
them would like to ban the waving of the flag itself.
Would you permit them to do so? The answer is
obviously no. But yet you would then make it a
law to permit them from desecrating this flag that you cherish,
completely doing away with the value of that piece of
(07:26):
cloth in the first place. Why it matters to you
and to me. If that's not self defeating, I don't
know what it is. So I made a post that's
going kind of viral, and I said that I've never
wanted to burn an American flag, but I might do
it today now that Trump violated the First Amendment by
making the legal I was sincere in saying that I
don't think that I'll actually, you know, go buy a
flag just to light on fire to make my point.
But yeah, like, this was the first time in a
(07:50):
very very long time, other than maybe during the War
on Terror or something where I actually sincerely thought about
it or the lockdowns. I definitely thought about it during
the lockdowns. But yeah, it's when you late my rights,
it makes me want to hold on to them even harder.
Just as during the lockdown era, that was the first
time I went and got a gun because I was like, oh,
my rights, my property rights are being violated in such
(08:10):
an overway that and totalitarian really had curfews and what
time you could go out and where you could go,
and I mean it was insane. It's like, yeah, all right,
well I better fucking hold on to these liberties that
I have left, Especially in California. At the time, it
was like, well, it's very hard to acquire a gun.
You better get it while you can, because I thought,
who knows. If they think they can dictate what businesses
(08:31):
can remain open and what beaches I could use, well,
then they certainly could try and take whatever remaining gun
rights I have in California. If you're not aware, it's
already very challenging to own a firearm. So that's the
same feeling I get with Donald Trump doing this and
now to steal men his position. There are a lot
of people that hate this country sincerely, that are like
enemies of America, that are getting American flags and then
(08:55):
lighting them blaze in protest of this country, and they're
doing it in America, and that doesn't make me feel good.
I don't enjoy watching people that hate me and hate
this country and hate what it stands for, purchase this
flag and then light it a blaze to make their point.
But I'm not going to sacrifice my own ability to
do so to protest my own government just to stop
(09:15):
the people that I hate from doing something that I
don't like. You understand, like, is that not obvious to
everybody that if I don't have that right, then also
the people in this country that are also citizens ought
to have that right, because if they don't, I won't either.
So with that viral post, I got a ton of replies,
and granted, most people are agreeing with me, and I
appreciate that, but there was a lot of you know,
(09:35):
big all caps maga hats out there that I responded
to me furious and defending Donald Trump's move. There go
through some examples. They said, then you should move to
another country. Most countries would unalive you for burning their flag.
You just lost all your credibility. Well, sir, I don't
think that's quite true. I don't think I'm gonna lose
my credibility for defending the First Amendment. That would be weird,
(10:00):
weird reason for me to lose my credibility. But sitting
on aside, let's just go through the argument here. So,
because I am defending the rights that are unique to America,
you're going to point to a country that is less
free than America to demonstrate why America should be less free?
Can you not see the obvious contradiction in this argument?
(10:20):
It's mad. I mean, there are lots of countries that
wouldn't allow me to purchase a gun. Should I accept
the banning of firearms in America because I couldn't buy
one in I don't know, Guatemala or some shit like
fuck you? And I've got a net saying. He didn't
say you can't do it. You can still light it up.
You can still light up our beloved flag. You'll just
have to pay a penalty. Oh. One of my favorite arguments,
(10:43):
kind of like the the masks and vax requirements. They
didn't say that you have to get it. They just
said that you couldn't work if you didn't. Well, that's
quite kind of coercive, now, isn't it. Well, they didn't
say you can't murder people, you just have to serve
twenty to thirty years in prison if you do it. Well, yeah,
that's kind of an infringement on my right to self
(11:03):
expression when it comes to burning a flag. No, it's
obviously I'm not arguing in favor of doing away with
murder crimes because there's a real victim there. But there
is no victim when it comes to me lighting my
own personal property on fire, unless you're some Green New
Deal lunatic and thinks that the carbon dioxide is an
existential threat and therefore we must ban it for that reason.
But that's not the argument you're making. Then this is
(11:26):
always my favorite when shit like this happens. We've got
anti Kammi Tommy, very anti communists, says, if you do
it in public place, hopefully you're arrested for arson. Now,
I'll admit, if I were to light anything on fire
in public and jeopardize other people, then yeah, that should
probably be illegal. But if I were to, as a
form of protest of my government, which is literally as
(11:48):
American as it gets, put an American flag on the
sidewalk and let it on fire, you could look through
the civil rights movement. You could look through the anti
Vietnam protests, you could look through all protests. Basically, there
are examples of American citizens peace fully lighting an American
flag on fire on the street to demonstrate their very
significant and sincere anger against the government's actions during that period.
(12:09):
That should not be charged with arson. And it's incredibly
ironic that a guy anti Tommy would be arguing for
gulags for I don't know, insulting the honor of the state,
really anti commedy. And it gets even better in his
bio it says I can govern myself. Well, no, you
(12:30):
fucking can't, tom No, you can't actually, and you're about
as close to Akami as I've encountered, especially when you're
describing yourself as antidad. Just disappointing, seriously, sincerely disappointing that
while I would probably agree with you on ninety five
percent of things, that you would describe yourself as anti
communists trying to create law to defend a piece of cloth,
(12:51):
which is to honor the government. Hello, think these things through, please,
And then another line of defense has been consistently received
by me, saying go into any other country and burn
their flag in a public setting and come back if
you make it back and tell us how that worked
out for you. That's not the fucking point here, ladies
and gentlemen. I'm not going into some other foreign country
(13:12):
and doing this, and you're right, I probably would be
arrested and jailed for doing so. But that's because those
countries suck. That's because they're not America. That's because they
don't have our rights enshrined as America does. And you're
arguing that because those other countries which suck, don't have
these rights, we should also suck. What the fuck are
(13:34):
you talking about? Think about what you're saying. And then
her defense of that is that there's some BS charges
that were brought where this guy was facing fifteen years
in Iowa jail for burning a Pride flag. It's like, yeah,
but I don't agree with those laws. And then I
ask her and she says, yeah, I don't agree with
those laws either. It's like, okay, well, then we're on
the same page here. Those are bullshit laws, because there
(13:57):
should be no piece of cloth that you can't light
a blaze in protest that would cause you to serve
significant prison time. This is madness. But that you're arguing
because of these bullshit laws, that we should have additional
bullshit laws defend the piece of cloth that you value.
Come on, now, while Trump said very explicitly that if
you burn a flag, you're going to prison for a year,
(14:17):
he then turns to his assistant to basically detail what
it's about, and he is not making it that overt. Basically,
what they're doing is they're crafting a law to try
and circumvent your First Amendment rights. So let's go through
the executive order and read it to make sure that
we're not being Pannikins says. Prosecuting burning of the American
Flag Executive Order August twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, which
(14:39):
is today says, by the authority vested to me as
President by the Constitution and the laws of the United
States of America is hereby ordered. God damn it. That
makes me angry when you sign off on an executive
order that violates the Constitution, saying that you're doing this
under the authority vested to you by the Constitution. Disgusting
Section one purpose. American flag is the most sacred and
(15:01):
cherish symbol of the United States of America and of
American freedom, identity, and strength. I would argue its bill
of rights, but whatever, Over nearly two and a half centuries,
many thousands of American patriots have fought, bled and died
to keep the stars and stripes waving proudly. The American
flag is a special symbol in our national life that
should unite and represent all Americans of every background and
walk of life. Desecrating it is uniquely offensive and provocative.
(15:24):
It is a statement of contempt, hostility, and violence against
our nation, the clearest possible expression of opposition to the
political union that preserves our rights, liberty, and security. Well
what are some of those rights that it's preserving. Freedom
of expression, protest, right to redress your grievances against your government.
Well I can't do that now because of this executive order.
Burning this representation of America may incite violence and riot. Yeah,
(15:48):
well you could do a lot of things that might
incite violence and riots. Are we just going to ban
all of that that? This is actually a really important point.
Murray Rothbart talked about this, and I agree with Rothbart,
not surprisingly because I agree with him on basically everything.
Incitement laws are bullshit, Like, if you this is especially
for a Trump supporter, given that so many of the
(16:08):
people that were prosecuted on J six were prosecuted for
incitement of a riot. It's like, if you riot and
you burn stuff and you're violent towards people, yes, that
should all be criminalized. If you are saying things that
get a crowd riled up and then they go commit crimes,
did you eliminate human volition? Are they now just your puppets?
(16:30):
It's absurd, but this is how they essentially go after
speech that the government doesn't like because of the actions
of people that aren't you. I don't think that that's
just at all personal continuing, American flag burning is also
used by groups of foreign nationals as a calculated act
to intimidate and threaten violence against Americans because of their
nationality in place of birth. Well, that sounds like safe
(16:51):
space bullshit to me. But also, if these are foreign nationals,
why are they here? Didn't you campaign on deporting these people?
So if they're here burning the flag, shouldn't they be
deported not because they're burning the flag, but because they're
here illegally? So do we have to have laws to
protect the flag when these people shouldn't even be here
in the first place, I guess you just don't plan
(17:12):
on deporting them, continuing, notwithstanding the Supreme Court's ruling on
First Amendment protections, the Court has never held that American
flag desecration conducted in a manner that is likely to
incite imminent lawless action, or that in an action amounting
to fighting words, is constitutionally protected. So there's the work around.
They're basically acknowledging that, yes, it is your constitutional right
(17:33):
to burn the American flag. They are then arguing that
the Supreme Court has not ruled on whether or not
burning it in an attempt to incite a riot. I
guess or violence would therefore be constitutional to outlaw and
criminalize and prosecute cases of that. I don't know how
you're going to prove that someone is lighting the American
(17:54):
flag on fire with the intention of inciting riots and violence.
But that's there are that they're gone for, he continues,
My administration will act to restore respect and sanctity to
the American flag and prosecute those who incite violence or
otherwise violate our laws while desecrating the symbol of our
country to the fullest extent permissible under any available authority.
Section two, Measures to combat desecration of the American Flag.
(18:17):
The Attorney General shall prioritize the enforcement, to the fullest
extent possible of our nation's criminal and civil laws against
acts of American flag desecration that violate applicable content neutral
laws while causing harm unrelated to expression consistent with the
First Amendment. This may include, but is not limited to,
violent crimes, hate crimes, a legal discrimination against American citizens
or other violations of American civil rights, and crimes against
(18:39):
property and the peace, as well as conspiracies and attempts
to violate and aiding and abetting others to violate such laws.
In cases where the Department of Justice or another executive
department or agency determine that an instance of American flag
desecration may violate an applicable state or local law, such
as open burning restrictions, disorderly conduct laws, or destruction of
property laws, the agency shall refer the matter to a
(18:59):
pro bread state or local authority for potential action. I
don't have a problem with that one. I mean, if
you're burning someone else's flag and their property, or you're
lighting it on fire and then you're damaging someone else's property,
then you ought to be responsible for that. That makes sense,
but that's not you know, that should be the limiting
principle there See, to the maximum extent permitted by the Constitution,
the Attorney General shall vigorously prosecute those who violate our
(19:21):
laws in ways that involve desecrating the American Flag, and
may pursue litigation to clarify the scope of the First
Amendment exceptions in this area. Well, that's notable because it
sounds as if they are pushing this EO to challenge
that ruling from nineteen eighty nine Johnson Verse Texas as
to whether or not burning the American flag is constitutional
(19:42):
at all. So that would be very bad if that
were to happen. D Secretary of State, the AG and
the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting within their respective authorities,
shall deny, prohibit, terminate, or revoke visas, residents permits, naturalization proceedings,
and other immigration benefits, or seek removal from the United
States where wherever there has been an appropriate determination that
foreign nationals have engaged in American flag desecration activity under
(20:05):
circumstances that permit the exercise of such remedies. Pursuant to
federal law. So essentially, they're saying they're going to use
these laws to deport people that are here that are
not citizens, so not just illegal immigrants, but people on
visas too. It sounds like, so this is just a
continuation of this policy that they seem to be trying
to use to get rid of not just illegal immigrants,
(20:25):
but also foreign nationals that are here legally. So well, Trump,
who is this just extraordinary hawk against China? Which in
some ways I understand that, but in other ways I
totally disagree. I don't want to go down the real
antagonistic war path with them. But yeah, he's saying, six
hundred thousand Chinese students annually are going to be allowed
(20:46):
to come to America.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
President, she would like me to come to China. It's
a very important relationship. As you know, we're taking a
lot of money and from China because of the tariffs
and different things, and it's a very important relationship. We're
going to get along good with China. I hear so
many stories about we're not going to allow their students.
So now we're going to allow their students to come,
and we're going to allow It's very important, six hundred
(21:10):
thousand students. It's very important. But we're going to get
along with China. But it's a different relationship that we
have now with China. It's a much better relationship economically
than it was before. With Biden. What he allowed that,
I mean, they just took him to the trainers, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
And it's like, I just don't know how his supporter's square.
And I know many of his supporters are upset about this,
so let me be clear about that. But I don't
know how his supporters square his antagonistic talk about China.
They're basically stealing rip and terrible trade deals and taking
advantage of us, and also about to take on Taiwan
(21:45):
and also responsible for the creation of COVID and blah
blah blah, on and on and on, and human rights
violations and everything else. And also he's a borderhawk simultaneously
and saying he's going to deport millions of people, but
then also this country, who's our number one adversary. If
you talk to Trump in any of his inner circle,
we're going to let six hundred thousand four nationals from
(22:06):
China come and study here. I would love to have
a real journalist in that room to actually ask a
fucking question, which would be novel because that never happens,
as to like, what are we doing? Are they our
enemy or aren't they And if they are our enemy,
why are you letting them in? And if they're not
our enemy? Okay, well then yeah, sure you're letting them in,
and that makes sense. But also you said that you
(22:26):
were gonna have mass deportations, but you're still letting six
hundred thousand people from this country that we allegedly are
top enemy. And what's the rationale. It's all so fucking
convoluted and confusing and misleading. I don't know how people
square it. I really don't. Let's listen to the last
bit of his press conference.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
The people in this country don't want to see our
American flag burned and spit on, and by people that
are in many cases paid agitators. They're paid by the
radical left to do it. You talk to these people,
they don't even know half of them, don't even know
what they're doing. They gave me money to do this.
(23:03):
I see the same things that did the bad people
that are trying to destroy a nation.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
The obvious answer there is prosecute the people that are
funding fucking riots due why are you not doing that.
I haven't heard of any charges being brought. If anybody
is aware, please drop in the chattel. I'll certainly look
into it. But that's the answer. If you want to
make the argument that Soros or whoever else whatever fucking
NGO network is arming and funding these terrorsts, well that
happens more overseas than it does here. But certainly there
(23:29):
are funding operations that are ran to create domestic protests
like color revolutions happen in America too. Hate to break
it to you, and I think they're front to buy
our own government. But setting that aside, to prosecute that,
you don't have to criminalize American citizens burning their own
flag to deal with that problem. So once again missing
the mark, missing the target, and diminishing our rights to
(23:51):
then defend a piece of cloth that no longer represents
the rights that I hold, deer, that's the whole reason
that there's value in the fucking piece of cloth in
the first place. If you diminish that, then I don't honor,
I don't respect, I will not worship a piece of
cloth that doesn't represent the values that it's supposed to.
So you're actually making me not respect and appreciate the
American flag because of what you're doing, because of your
(24:11):
actions today, because of the EO that you just signed.
Do you understand is this not obvious? So there you
have it. We're gonna tread the Bill of Rights to
defend the flag that the flag is supposed to represent
those rights. Look, it's just fucking bloomer con garbage, nott Walls, churs, Trump, fuck.
(24:32):
I hate this stuff and I just I cannot stand it.
They augh. Look, I don't want there to be defended
pieces of cloth of foreign nations, Israel, or ideologies that
I don't agree with, the TQ plus elementop shit. And
(24:52):
also despite the fact that I love America and what
the American flag is supposed to represent, I absolutely have
a god given right to redress my grievances, to light
that fucking flag on fire if I so choose, especially
if my government is behaving in a tyrannical or totalitarian fashion,
which they have in recent memory. You will not criminalize that.
(25:14):
And as far as I'm concerned, America would be a
far better country and in a far better place if
one hundred thousand people went to DC to protest this
EO today, Like, that's how I feel about it. Now.
Is this the biggest deal in the world. No, it's not.
But it is just a microcosm of the broader infringements
(25:37):
on our rights that we've been languishing under for fucking decades,
really one hundred plus years. It's sick, it's disgusting, it's reprehensible.
And yeah, I fucking voted for Trump, and no I
don't agree with this. I hate it, just as I
hated and spoke out very loudly against his decision to
bomb Moran. It's terrible. Doesn't mean that I'm a Democrat.
(25:59):
It doesn't mean that Kamala Harris would have been a
better option. Still not arguing that, still don't think it's true.
I think she would have done dumb shit like this too.
But this is just bad. This is like red meat
to the most unthinking aspects of his base. By the way,
the same people that would deface the American flag by
(26:19):
putting the fucking thin blue line on it, those are
the people that would probably be the first to line
up to sign on to this EO saying that you
cannot burn the flag you're desecrating it, dumbfuck Hello, Uh sorry,
I've I got a lot of really angry replies to
my posts and I think it triggered me a bit.
So this is more self care and therapy to get
(26:41):
this all off my chest. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it,
and I hope you agree. If you don't tell me
why I'm wrong, drop it down below. I do read them,
I do reply. Try not to be insulting. I will
block you, but feel free to reply and let me
know why I'm wrong. Why is burning the American flag,
which is symbolic of our god given fucking rights, a
(27:02):
way to defend our god given rights by getting rid
of those rights? Good luck? Good luck making that argument
to me. But I welcome you to try. If you'd

you guys are the best, see you so pease. Oh,
by the way, I accidentally there was an update on streamyard.
You can anybody else that uses streamer, I could verify this.
There was an update on stream yard that put in
(27:44):
a face filter, and I did not recognize that it
was turned on when I did my episode yesterday. So
by the time I realized, I was like, dude, I'm
looking fucking pretty today. And then I see the comments
and I'm like, oh, yeah, there is a face filter on. Oops.
But I wasn't going to rerecord the episode, you know,
so you have one one episode of me looking like
(28:07):
an ethought with all of my lines and you know,
blemishes and shit shown to the world or hidden from
the world. Now now you get to see them again.
So I hope you're fucking happy. You guys are merciless. Man.
I honestly did not put it on. I did not
mean to have it on, but I wasn't going to record,
you know, another episode just to get rid of that filter.
So you can clown on me. I don't give a shit.
(28:29):
It's funny, but yeah, now you get to see that
real me, as ugly and pretty as I can be.
Thank you, guys, I'll see you so pease.
