Speaker 1:

What's up everybody? This is Objective Jerk, and I'm said jerk, how you doing? It's Black History Month and Joy Reid, the most racist talking head on TV, is history. It's awesome, but, yeah, how's everybody doing? Let's see, I did a podcast a little while ago, a couple days ago or something.

Speaker 1:

I did like three or four in a row and uh, but on my last one I talked about what was it. I was talking about some of them. Um, it was a movie or a show or something, or I read I'm going to look it up real quick. So, how's everybody doing? I got to pull up the app, make sure, Let me see. I got to look at my. Oh, james Bond, that's right. Yeah, so I talked about James Bond being bought by Amazon, which is horrible, but I'm not going to talk about that because I talked about that on that episode. But the point is I did not hit record on my video, so it's just a podcast audio. No video for that one, not that. Honestly, don't think anybody really watches my videos. I think they just listen to them anyway, but, um, but yeah, so there's that If you want to hear me talk about bond and my feelings and everything towards James Bond and the franchise moving forward. Go check it out, all right.

Speaker 1:

All right, so Joy Reid is fired. I mean, you could kind of see it coming People who can see through bullshit and see the writing on the wall. You could see it coming. I mean she was getting like 60,000 views or something, I guess, a night on her show or whatever. So I mean she was only there to spread the propaganda, the racist propaganda. You know. That's the thing is like you have people on the far left, they see racism and everything, and then people on the far right they see a conspiracy and everything. Right, I see a conspiracy in a lot of things, but not everything. Um, I used to make fun of a guy I worked with that he, he saw a conspiracy and everything. Um, but the thing is, is the conspiracies are like proving to be true and the racism is not? Is racism around? Yes, people are still racist, but if anything, racism has gone up because of these people, just like joy reed talking about racism, right, and they're racist, racist, racist. You know what I mean? It's just it's insane and and now it's like they've brought in racism back. They just won't let it die. There's that. There's that comic I saw where it showed, um, two people given somebody CPR and the person getting the CPR was racism and the two people was like media and somebody else. I can't remember Hollywood, maybe, I don't know, but it's like, yeah, they're just, they're just trying to keep it alive, cause there's a lot of people who make a lot of money off of racism. You know, they don't want it to die, anyway. So joy read is out.

Speaker 1:

She is just an insufferable cunt man. She was just a horrible, horrible person. But sorry about saying the C word, I really shouldn't say that, but, man, it fits with her. I apologize if that offends you, but man, it does. Like, that's, she's a different. Well, no, she's not the only one, but, man, I can get away with saying that kind of cause.

Speaker 1:

My wife, being Filipino, like it doesn't bother them at all, they don't care. You know what I mean? It's kind of funny how I mean I don't all the time. Um, but yeah, my, like women who born and raised in america. Man, you say the c word and man, they get immediately. They just yeah, but my wife, she don't care. It's funny, but um, anyway, I'm not here to talk about a derogatory word, I'm here to talk about mainstream media and how it's just failing.

Speaker 1:

So for the past, I think pretty much ever since Biden got into office and people started seeing his decline or just started seeing how the media was covering up, I mean, there's people that just don't see anything, they're just oblivious. They are the legitimate sheep of the country. But you know, there are people who are normies, or even people who are, you know, liberal. I wouldn't say liberal maybe, I don't know. I'm trying to figure out that, you know, because liberal to me means a little crazy. But then you have, um, no, that's not right either. Yeah, I guess liberal is probably the right word. But you know people who, just who, are liberal, left wing leaning, but they're not. They don't, you know, they're open minded and they, they see the writing on the wall and they would see all this crap going on.

Speaker 1:

So you would start to see Like what you know. They would see these talking heads like Spitzer or Splitzer, or whatever his name was, don Lemon, chris, you know all of them be like dude, these guys, what are they talking about? This is not, you know, and the thing is like also. It's like all the news was just that's all any of them were. They were just opinion Propaganda, like. They were just opinion propaganda, like nobody's just a journalism or nobody's just a journalist reporting on the news, and that's what people started to realize, like, what happened to the journalist? It's all just propaganda. I mean, they didn't want to say it's propaganda, but that's what it is, you know, and that's why it's failing.

Speaker 1:

So you have, like, spitzer, whatever stupid name was, um, don Lemon, chris Cuomo, chris Cuomo, now, to be fair, I mean, there's been lots of other people too, but these are kind of like the big ones, right. But, um, to be fair, you know, you had Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson as well, right, but here's the difference, though. Right, spitzer, don Lemon, chris Homo he's trying to turn it around, though, but I don't trust him. You know, their viewership was just in the toilet. So they lost their position. Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson, they said some things or did some things that got them fired, right, because it's not just CNN and MSNBC and all the left-wing media thing Fox is owned by Big Pharma, and all that crap too. You know what I mean. So they got to bend the knee as well, and that's why Tucker Carlson lost his position. I can't remember Megyn Kelly, though what her thing is, but the other thing is too Okay.

Speaker 1:

So those individuals Spitzer, don Lemon, chris Cuomo, megyn Kelly, tucker Carlson they were all let go, fired or quit, right, I think they were all let go. Spitzer I see him on a panel here and there or whatever, but nobody cares. He's a big idiot. Don Lemon tries doing his own stuff, but he's a big failure. Nobody watches his shit. He had a chance to be on X, but he fucked that up because he's an idiot.

Speaker 1:

Chris Cuomo, he was able to come back on another news outlet I can't think of which one it is but he's drastically changed his. Now he's trying to be in the middle, or appear to be in the middle. You know what I mean? Megyn Kelly she started her own YouTube channel and is hugely successful, right and same with Tucker Carlson, like huge, and they're on X2 or whatever. With Tucker Carlson, like huge and they're on X2 or whatever. But you know, nobody's watching Don Lemon, nobody's watching Spitzer I don't even know what he's doing. And the Chris Cuomo if he was trying to do his own YouTube channel, he would have nothing. It would be all bull crap.

Speaker 1:

Now, what's going to be funny is, I think Joy Reid is going to try and do so, like yeah, so Megyn Kelly's got close to 4 million subscribers, right, not quite, but she's getting there. Now let's see what Tucker Carlson same thing. Tucker Carlson is even closer to 4 million subscribers, right, don? Was it Don Spitz? No, it's Don Lemon. Well, let me look up him real quick. Let's see what he's doing. I don't know if he's even okay.

Speaker 1:

So don lemon, the don lemon show. And this is youtube, which is very more liberal, right, he has not even a million 532 000 subscribers, which I that'd be cool for me, right, but for him, for don lemon, that's sad. Nobody, nobody cares, and he gets, he gets roasted on his own show when he talks to people. I don't know, spitzer, spitzer, but see, right there, that just kind of shows you, dude, just looking at that. You don't need to look at politics, you don't need to look at the inflation and economy and all that kind of stuff. Just even looking at this, I mean, you can look at tons of stuff, but all of it is the quote-unquote writing on the wall, what's going on. And she, she's going to try and do her own YouTube channel and she's going to have even less subscribers than Don Lemon, cause she is just a fake racist C word. I won't say it again.

Speaker 1:

Um, what's that guy's name, the Spitzer guy, though? Spitzer? Let's see if it comes up Spitz, spitzer, spitz, spitzer, spitzer, spitzer. Now it's a different Damn. What was his name, mike Spitzer? Was it Mike Mike Spitzer? Mike Mike Spitzer? No, that's somebody else, son of a. What was his name? Splitzer? Well, whatever, anyway, he probably doesn't have one, or he does. It's pretty, I don't know, but anyway. So you get my point right.

Speaker 1:

You have all these people who were let go and they try and argue that, oh, megyn Kelly took her. Well, they weren't let go because of viewership, they were let go for other reasons, right, but now they have, they're making more money, well, I don't know. Well, I'm almost four million subscribers, that's. But now they, they don't have the restraints, the constraints of mainstream media and, like you know, oh, you can't say that because they're sponsoring this episode, or you know what I mean. Yes, they have sponsors, or whatever, but they get to pick, you get to pick your sponsor. You don't have other people controlling you like they do in the mainstream media, and the thing is is like I mean, people have been saying it for a long time.

Speaker 1:

But mainstream media is completely dead. It's not just the left-wing side, it's all going down eventually, because people see how they're bought and paid for, how there's influence, how it's propaganda, how it's BS, because at least on YouTube they can say what they want and there's no, like I said, there's nobody pulling at their strings and all you can't say that. You can't, because that's what happened to Tucker Carlson oh, you can't say that and probably what happened to Megyn Kelly, I don't remember. But so it's eventually no one's, there's not going to be much news. There'll be like Dateline or you know, there'll be a certain like documentary kind of stuff, but that stuff's kind of going away too because nobody trusts the document.

Speaker 1:

The document, jesus, the docs right, because you know I used to love docu. Why can't I say it? Documentary, docuseries, documentary, there we go, go. That's what I was trying to think of documentary. So now it's like I used to watch I mean, I used to watch everything, I guess, but I used to love a good documentary, you know. But now it's like you watch something on netflix and you just see some of the BS and you're like, okay, it's not legit, it's just like everything else. There's fake influential BS going on, so it's like I won't watch it. You know, there's been a few documentaries on Netflix that have come out where I'm like, oh man.

Speaker 1:

But then I'm like, and I'll do some research and I'll see who's, who's, you know, directing it, producing it, and then I'll look and see what they've written or I remember, directed or produced before and based on that, you know, I might look and then sometimes I'll, I'll give it, I'll start it, and then I'm just like no, this is, this is dumb, this is, you know, like what was the last one I tried watching? I can't remember, but they had people on there, like as soon as they had George W Bush talking, and just some people like he was like Obama's, like speech writer or something. I'm like who, why are these people like what? I was just like, no, okay, done with this. But then you know you can get that on the other side too.

Speaker 1:

It's like I don't want, I think, most people we don't want. We don't want, you know, right wing or left wing, we just want the truth. That's what they want. They want all of the facts put out there and for us to decide what's right and what's wrong. You know what I mean. That's all we want, but we don't get none of that. Everything is propaganda and I remember hearing that as a kid and people you know talking about like, oh, it's propaganda, it's propaganda and it's it's just like. Okay, I don't know, but yeah, you know, even back then it was. I think it's gotten worse now. Maybe not, maybe it's just because I notice it more, but but yeah, so joy read. It's hilarious.

Speaker 1:

I was gonna play the video but I guess it would only work audio-wise. I don't know, I wasn't going to mess with it, but she's sitting there crying. I think she's being interviewed. And I had value. My show had value. It's like no, it didn't. You are a racist bitch who tried to throw racism into everything. You know. And oh, my gosh, my gosh, she was like the worst. Now it's just like. Now.

Speaker 1:

The view can we get rid of the view? Man, I cannot stand to watch even clips of the view like. I'll watch people who talk about things said on the view and I fast forward because they'll play, like you know, a minute long clip or something, and I just cannot stand to hear their idiotic takes on stuff. It just I've had enough of it. You know I know the kind of stuff they. You know I always. I've had enough of it. You know I know the kind of stuff they. You know I always.

Speaker 1:

I always make comments to uh, one YouTuber in particular, um, who I've been watching for a few years now, and I told him I was like dude, you don't need to play the whole clip. You know, um, I believe you, I trust what you know. You can do either a fast clip or much shorter. Just play one little thing. I don't know, you know, I know there's no, there's no editing and trying to distort the truth, like you know mainstream media does with these.

Speaker 1:

I mean some people, yes, but that's the thing, though is like, even even like left-wing, like youtubers who follow the news, they don't have the subscribers and the views. You know what I mean and it's and it's like dude, do you not get it? You can't, you can't keep pushing lies and then another lie to cover that lie, lie, lie. You know it doesn't work, and what's going on is a prime proof that it doesn't. You know what I mean, and some people still just refuse to see it. Like you have this going on, like what else?

Speaker 1:

So much stuff's coming out and I got my, my one friend that I talk about, who's who's my TDS friend and uh, I honestly think I don't know. I think even if, even if you know proof that you know everything he believes in was all kind of like a BS, like actual proof comes out, he'll still find a way to not believe it. He'll. No, I think you know what I mean and that's you know, that's like the opposite of a conspiracy theorist. I mean it's still a conspiracy theorist, but it's like it's just on the other spectrum. You know what I mean, I don't know. It's like they just refuse to give in and be like no, there's no way that I was on the wrong side Because he's a good guy.

Speaker 1:

I think he's a good hearted guy. I, I, was on the wrong side because he's a good guy. I think he's a good hearted guy. I guess I kind of get that. He's not. He's not. I don't think he's racist. He's a black dude. I've talked about him. We were friends working, but we were work, you know. So it's like have to put up with me, but we, we had fun, we got along. You know, being as old as he is, but I mean I was a recipient of racism too. Just, you know, like I used to hang out when I lived in Washington State, I didn't okay, here, just a quick little whatever. What time was the time I got? So I'm at 20 minutes.

Speaker 1:

So you know, I remember growing up and the first time I really remember seeing people of color was in utah, was this family, I think they were indian though, because they had a really strong odor, so I think they were like indian, but I thought they were like, you know, black folks, um, and I just thought that all people like that smelled like that. You know, I think they just had, you know the whatever, you know the strong odor of you know which I love, indian food. But anyway, so that was kind of like my first, you know, and I don't remember having anybody say anything. Having anybody say anything, I mean there would be like racist jokes kind of like, oh, what did the you know kind of stuff like that. As a kid Is it almost a teenager, you know some stuff like that, but it was just like didn't really know whatever. I remember hearing some stuff from this one kid, but I don't think he was racist because he was like infatuated with Mike Tyson. I remember hearing some stuff from this one kid, but I don't think he was racist, cause he was like infatuated with Mike Tyson. I remember, um, but I mean that was kind of. You know, that was kind of it.

Speaker 1:

And then when I moved to Washington I was hanging out with like Filipino, half Korean and black, you know what I mean. Mean, they were all kind of friend. I was like the only white kid, but I didn't realize it, I didn't you know think anything of it. But then I was kind of getting picked on by these individuals in a sense, like their older brothers were kind of forcing it, you know what I mean trying to get us to fight like, and I started to feel kind of like an outcast and they didn't want me to be there. So I quit hanging out with them, you know. So I mean not that that's. You know it's racism, but it isn. You know what I mean. But it didn't put like a bad taste in my mouth or whatever. You know, as a kid you just think, okay, well, whatever, it's. Just looking back at it now. You know that probably. You know, I remember it wasn't that long ago where I just was like you know what? I was the only white person. I just kind of realized that.

Speaker 1:

But you know I'm an introvert though, so that might have played a part in it too. They thought maybe I was weird because you know I was pretty shy and introverted, I didn't really like group hanging out. I can hang out one or two people, I'm still kind of like that. So in big groups I just wasn't super comfortable. I mean, I even got some of that when I was in the army. You know what I mean. I was a little older than most people coming in. You know most people join the army, they're like 19 ish. I was 23, which not a huge, you know age gap, but still, and you know, you go in and you're, you're surrounded by your platoon and everybody's kind of whatever.

Speaker 1:

I'm an introvert, I'm kind of quiet, I observe this and that you know I'm not even like when it was just my platoon or a squad working and people are talking and this, and that I would just kind of watch and I wouldn't really get involved too much. And they thought I was weird, like what's this dude he's like he doesn't really whatever this and that. But I mean for me it was just. I mean I've always been, you know I'm an introvert, so I always will be. But I was also trying to get away from like drinking and partying and drugs and stuff. Not that I was like heavily into drugs, you know, smoked weed or whatever but it did seem like it was just constantly drinking, like every weekend and this and that, and I was trying to get away from that. Go mountain biking and this and that, plus, you know, 9-11 and stuff like that. So I didn't want to. You know, I didn't want to go back into my.

Speaker 1:

You know, because that's what you know, a lot of people when they join the Army, that's their college. You know, when people are 19 to 24, they're in college and they drink and party all the time. Or they're in the military and they drink and they party all the time. You know it's kind of the thing party all the time. Or they're in the military and they drink and they party all the time. You know it's kind of the thing and I was trying to not, you know, get sucked into that. I guess so, but I think most people now the world we live in, the technology and the much information that we all have, no one's really racist. I don't think racism exists. I think, stereotypes do you know what I mean? But most people judge people by their character and you know it's just yeah, you might have some stereotypes, you know I've talked about you know the guy. I just yeah, you might have some stereotypes, you know I've talked about.

Speaker 1:

You know the guy I was in the army with who looked like Wesley Snipes and he was into like really heavy, aggressive metal, like more, more aggressive than me, you know, and I was shocked. I was like what You're fucking with me? And he was like no, he was, that was his thing. So that was a stereotype on my part. You know me assuming he was like no, he was, that was his thing, you know. So that was a stereotype on my part. You know me assuming he was like into hip-hop or something right, but but that's kind of it.

Speaker 1:

It's like I don't think racism really is around and if anything, it's worse in other countries than america. You know what I mean. Like I live here in the philippines and it's like everybody's using whitening soap and they want to make their skin whiter because if you have lighter skin, that represents you are wealthy, because you're not working in the fields, in the farm. You know you'll have Filipinos who are dark as shit, but they're farmers, man, they make the world go around, they, they get us our crops and our food and and build our homes and all that kind of stuff. Um, you know, and then also too, like my kids tell me that the Filipinos will say the N word like crazy, like they say it like it's no big deal and because you know to hear it's not like it's, it's kind of I don't know, it's just strange. And my wife was like hey, make sure, because she has some friends that are they're going to the states for work and stuff like that, so they're going to move to the states. And she told him, like make sure, your kids do not. It's different there, you can't you know.

Speaker 1:

So, if anything, america is the least racist country in the world because we have so many people, so many different. It's a melting pot. We have to deal with that stuff all the time. All the other countries, they're the ones that are just it's all Japanese, it's all Korean, whatever this net. And then when people come in they're like whoa, what's going on here? So it's just, it's all, it's all bullshit. There is no widespread crazy racism, except for the people that are trying to profit off it. There are stereotypes, yes, but the racism is done. Anyway, I am way over my limit. So that's it. I appreciate you guys hanging out. Email me at theobjectivejerk at gmailcom. Let me know what you think. Am I right, am I wrong, am I stupid? It all helps. Thanks for hanging out, god bless, and I'll see you guys next time. All right, bye.
