John on Denver Politics

0:00Yeah. Because if we would be talking about it afterwards like that, no, you got to still keep it on the down low. Mhm. Okay. Go. Yeah. Yeah. [bleeped] those guys. Who are they?

0:11Mhm. Mhm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It’s not even worth the time. Yeah. Yeah. And that is the coolest thing I’ve done in my [bleeped] life besides raising my daughter to be a doctor.

0:22What kind of doctor is she? She’s two. She’s two different kinds of doctors. Oh, wow. Which ones? in internal and GP. Oh, wow. That’s cool. Internal internal body.

0:35And her husband is a surgeon. And because of AI Mhm. they’re switching everything. Oh, interesting. I believe that. Okay. Because within 3 years, AI is going to be operating on people.

0:50Imagine. Like seriously. Okay. I mean, they told me that. Okay. So, they’re moving to burn. Well, AI cannot assimilate burn victims because they’re all different.

1:05That’s how come they’re doing it. And I feel horrible for my son-in-law because he’s going to be working on burn victims. But he’ll have a job.

1:17Yeah, that’s true. You know, what do I say? And I’m sorry I probably talked too long. I apologize. No, no, you still didn’t answer my the one question I had though, right? Like how did you see like in the civil rights movement, the opinions of people being challenged? What was that discourse like in uh like in a conservative white town in, you know, North America? Like what is the public discourse actually like there? Like in that moment, what are people saying about what’s going on?

1:44It’s different now because of Trump. They’re more vocal. Oh, yeah. But I’m saying at that time, right? Do you remember what people were saying? Oh. Oh. Oh. They they would work around it,

1:54okay? But they would still subject people to like not being able to do what they should be able to do. Mhm. Okay. And they kept it quiet.

2:04Why? Like what’s their motivation to do that? Because they’re racist. And I I’m sorry. I’m I’m just going to break it down to that. Mhm.

2:13And I never thought I would be saying this 10 years ago, but Trump proved that were a whole lot more racist than what I ever realized.

2:27I don’t know. Cuz I I I thought like like like with Well, hell, even Bush Bush wasn’t racist. Okay. Obama obviously. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. We’re just racist, man.

2:43Mhm. And I I hate to say that. I hate to say that cuz I want people to be better than that. Well, how do you feel people become racist? Like how do they assume this position of like I am I am better or they are less. What do you think that’s like culturally?

3:02I honestly think and and this is getting proven and now we’re going to go past black. Let’s go to Hispanic. Mhm. Okay. Within 20 25 years, Hispanics will hold the majority of the people in our country.

3:20And we’ve got this last bastion of older white traditionalists. They don’t want that [bleeped] to happen. And that’s how come you got the push back. And like with Trump, Trump’s helping to accelerate that. And that’s how come Okay. They think, and it’s ironic because we stole the United States

3:46in the first place, right? Yeah. I mean, Texas was Mexico for Christ’s sake. So was Louisiana. And but people forget that. Okay. We stole the [bleeped] place anyways. That’s simple, you know. But but you know, if you’re a white traditionalist, you don’t think that way.

4:10So it’s just it’s just a desire to maintain at least the majority of power. White power. Yeah. White power. And once you become minority, power is a lot less certain.

4:19Well, cuz you’re outnumbered. Yeah. Yeah. Which is why they’re fighting so hard cuz like I said, within 20 25 years, and I ain’t talking African-Americans.

4:28Yeah. I’m talking Hispanics. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And and they’re going to be How we doing, my friend? Doing good. How are Glad to hear.

4:37Uh yeah. Yeah. That’s how come we’re having this big ass fight right now. Mhm. You mean in terms of ICE? You mean in terms of the whole world?

4:49Well, mainly US. Mhm. Okay. They This is the last stand for what? And I And I don’t believe in it before I say it, but why in America?

5:01This is the last stand for white America. Yeah. Yeah. Because we are this close and these guys are realizing that and they still have power.

5:11And Yeah. Yeah. Like I said, I apologize for talking. Perfect. Okay. Now, how did you decide to come from Philly to here? I came out here for a tech conference.

5:28And you’re just sticking around? Yeah. My car broke down in Lyman. So I I got it towed from 75 miles. 100 miles. No, no, no, no, no, no. 75 miles from my hometown.

5:39Oh, yeah. Is what I’m saying. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 76 to be exact. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was 76 miles past then. Yeah. So you you broke down in [bleeped] line.

5:48Yeah. My my engine sees so I don’t have a car anymore. And I didn’t really I came here looking for a job. I didn’t get a job. I got some leads. I have meeting up for a job lead tonight which is exciting. But I should be prepping. I’m kind of procrastinating right now, but you know, this is a worthwhile moment in my journey. Honestly, it’s like really cool to hear what you have to say. I have to say it’s really cool.

6:06Well, I apologize if I I talk too much. No, I mean, my YouTube’s just going to be an archive of people around the world doing this. And so, there’s no such thing as talking too much. I think my goal is like people can go on my YouTube page and always be like, “Oh, this a video nobody’s ever seen.” Like,

6:19okay, I got to ask this. Yeah. Okay. Because I’m not even on [bleeped] Facebook. Mhm. Mhm. I’ve never gotten a thing from Amazon. Mhm. You don’t use AI at all? No crypto for you.

6:34Okay. No, I’m old school. Okay. So, is that email? Every now and then. Okay. You write letters? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I do. I do. Okay. Which is stupid. I admit that. Compared to email.

6:49Yeah. It’s more intimate, more personal. Well, but still stupid. Okay. But but yeah, yeah, yeah. I I’m I’m old school. What do I say? I ain’t nothing wrong with that. I think I encourage you to try out the AI. I use Quad. You can use it for free, I think, without even having an account.

7:09Okay. All I know is about chat, chat, GP. Yeah, whatever. Okay. You said Claude. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Claude. It’s like the like Claude Monae wrote some like theory of intelligence or some [bleeped] like that.

7:21As in Claude Mon. Yeah, I’m wrong. It’s like a something clawed. I don’t know. I don’t know. Okay. Cuz I love Monet. Cuz I love

7:28Monet. That’s cool. I seen some Monae panties in Philly. That’s where I’m from. Philadelphia. You said that. You said that. And And hey, I’ll do this.

7:37Okay. Like I I’ll get high and I’ll go to the art museums, man. And Yeah. I love that. Hey, cool thing about here. First Saturday of every month, they’re all free. Oh, really? That’s coming up. That’s just coming Saturday.

7:55Yeah. Yeah. You can go to whatever the [bleeped] art museum wanting, which Well, hey, down this street, you know, you can see the asteroid. Okay. Which, by the way, horrible.

8:06Yeah. Oh, it looks like it looks like a Martian spit out something. Okay. But I will say this inside it works because of the walls because it’s so weird.

8:19Mhm. The the art actually does stick out. Okay. Well, that’s cool. Maybe Maybe it’s for the inside, not the outside experience, then. Well, yeah, cuz not the outside in my opinion.

8:28Looks like a skate park. Good point. It It looks like it’s trying to be like the the Sydney, Australia thing. Well, it’s not that, but we can stop harping on it.

8:38No, no. And you’re totally correct. Hey, hey, I’ve been knocking it, right? I’m I’m knocking the [bleeped] out of the place. Okay. But hey, right next to that,

8:49like, do you get high at all? Yeah, for sure. Okay. I’m out of weed, though. But yeah. Okay. Uh, right past the art museum, like the weird thing is the Clifford Still Museum.

9:01Mhm. Okay. Abstract artist, Jackson Pollock, thought he was gone. Okay. And for some reason, our mayor, who is now a US senator, he decided the mayor of Denver is a US senator at the same time.

9:16No, the former mayor is a US senator. Interesting. Yeah. He went from mayor to governor to US senator. And and to his credit, okay, dude. Okay. Like uh 98, that’s when Obama ran against Hillary Clinton and the national convention was here. Democratic Interesting.

9:38Okay. All are homeless disappear. To his credit. That’s a facade though now. Yeah. No. Where’d they go? I’m getting there. Okay. I’m listening. I’m getting there. Okay. Literally down this street.

9:54Uhhuh. Same one. My first place was on 17th. That is 14th. Right there. Okay. And on 16th was a church. And I go serve there like once a week. Mhm.

10:06Okay. And and Hickinlooper, that’s the guy’s name, he goes from mayor to governor and then all of a sudden I start seeing like all these people like getting food.

10:20Mhm. And and I and I know everybody there and tell these new people. And so I asked like one of the guys I know. I said, “Hey, what what the fuck?” He goes, “Oh, well not married.” I said, “So,” I said, “So, he actually did move all the homeless out.” He goes, “Oh, yeah.”

10:41Yeah. They put them on [bleeped] buses all the way to Texas. Damn. So, that it look good on TV to Texas. They just deported them from Denver.

10:53Yeah. Yeah. You know, I I would like to argue with your word, but yeah, you’re totally correct. Okay. And Yeah. Yeah. A and then once Hickin Looper became governor

11:04instead of mayor, they moved back. The same people. When was that? You said ’98. Well, no. I’d say 2000 by then. 2000. Okay. I’m going to see if I can ask people and get somebody’s take on that. Like, I’d be really curious to get somebody’s actual take on what that whole thing was like,

11:23if I can find anybody. Well, like I said, officially I didn’t tell you, but go ahead. Okay. Because Yeah. And and hey, my old man like in my small town

11:35Mhm. Okay. He did the same [bleeped] Okay. Like if somebody like showed up on I7 and like they crashed like in a deserted house Mhm.

11:44Oh, they moved him 30 miles 30 miles away to Kansas. So yeah. Yeah, he did that. And I And I always thought it’s [bleeped] Okay. Until all of a sudden all these people are moving back.

11:57Mhm. Look where they come from. That was pretty Texas. Yeah. You know, Kansas, I wasn’t just Texas. Yeah. Yeah. Greyhound buses moved their asses out. So, the Democratic National Convention looked good.

12:13Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, Denver looked good. Yeah. That’s crazy. Yeah. Kind of usher more capital here, I’m sure. And hey, we’re liberal here and we still did that. So God knows what happens in conservative places.

12:30Yeah, that’s true. That never gets talked about, never gets documented, never publicized. Yeah. Well, hey, this wouldn’t have either. I just happen to notice. Yeah. Oh, it wasn’t a thing people knew happened. It just happened and there was nothing.

12:40And we all heard it. Okay. But no proof. No proof. Okay. And and all of a sudden like these people are moving back. So [bleeped] it’s true. It’s [bleeped] true.

12:59Yeah. What do I say? Like I said, I’m sorry I talked. No, it’s all good. So, do you have any questions you’d ask people around the world?

13:11How do the hell you put up with us right now as America? Cuz it’s cluster [bleeped] son. It’s cluster [bleeped] Hell yeah. I I mean just this past weekend you had 9 million people protesting across America the no kings thing.

13:32Well that’s a point now isn’t it? Mhm. Absolutely. We’re just like Israel now with BB. We’re like all like what do we do? All we go outside and do a protest.

13:43It’s horrible right now. It’s horrible. I I’m embarrassed to live here right now. And I live in a liberal city and I’m embarrassed to live here.

13:54Mhm. It’s wrong. It’s just wrong. People shouldn’t be treated that way. And and like the deportation, all this crap. Well, first of all, I said this earlier, we stole the goddamn land anyway.

14:12Mhm. What’s wrong with people coming in? And I I I do know this number. Okay. Like even like illegal aliens paid over $86 billion in tax last year.

14:26You imagine? Cuz they’re on the Well, they’re on the rolls. They came over illegally, but they’re on the rolls now. Mhm. Mhm. And so is that a bad thing? No. No. No. They sit there and talk about, “Oh, we just want to get like the drug dealers and like the criminals out.” Well, there’s not that many of them. And and then and you know what? Thank God for the state of Milwaukee.

14:58How they stuck up and like literally open everybody’s eyes cuz beforehand, well, a year before the [bleeped] happened like in uh uh you know, Wisconsin

15:10or uh Minnesota. I was thinking he went Minnesota and you said walking. Yeah. Yeah. I’m sorry. Yeah. Uh there there was a guy in Texas got killed for no reason.

15:22And now we’re seeing the video. Okay. But until until Minnesota like just said, “Hey, [bleeped] this.” Okay, we’re going to stand up and you know what? We might get shot. And you know what? Two of them did.
