I'm Going to Need Some Proof Please...

I'm Going to Need Some Proof Please...

So I had no idea I would get backlash about saying, "Hey I think Charlie Kirk might be on to something about this we shold all talk to each other.." thing going on. I got TONS of people tell me to dig deeper and I found a black, gay dude standing up for Charlie

Wait, I thought Charlie was a racist homophobe? Then I was told to quit cherry picking videos. Taylor Swift casting spells? Um, no.

links to that

host, Dave Jackson,

7
00:00:32,540 --> 00:00:36,800
David Jackson: Oh, welcome to
Building a Better Dave. As I

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,600
said in my last episode, I'm
about done with death. Holy cow,

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,260
went to a funeral for my buddy,
and it was open casket. And I

10
00:00:44,260 --> 00:00:49,120
was like, Oh, are we still doing
that? Oh, go. Well, yep, that's

11
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:54,880
Todd. Ah. But here's the thing
that was interesting, is I

12
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,840
didn't know who Charlie Kirk was
when he was murdered, and so I

13
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,160
put out a thing on my Facebook
and said, Hey, I didn't know who

14
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:07,020
this guy is, but this whole we
should talk to each other. I

15
00:01:07,020 --> 00:01:10,740
think I'm down with that. And I
swear nobody read it. They just

16
00:01:10,740 --> 00:01:16,080
saw Charlie Kirk, and it was on
like a Donkey Kong, like all the

17
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,480
guys eating man, racist, big man
here. And then somebody else and

18
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:25,700
it was interesting. So I people
were like, and it was cool,

19
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:28,280
because it's friend of mine,
right? People that know me,

20
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,820
they're like, Hey, Dave. Like,
you know we love you, but like,

21
00:01:31,820 --> 00:01:39,260
you need to dig a little deeper.
And so it did. And I think

22
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,840
YouTube thinks I lean a little
right, or maybe a lot right,

23
00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:47,380
what you do, but I also got some
left leaning tendencies in me,

24
00:01:47,380 --> 00:01:54,880
just for the record. And so I go
looking, and I found a black gay

25
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,380
guy who went like, point to
point to point, explaining how

26
00:01:59,380 --> 00:02:02,760
Charlie had a point. And I was
like, wait a minute, because one

27
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,840
of the things they say about
Charlie is he's homophobic and

28
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,020
he was a racist, so we got a
black gay dude saying No,

29
00:02:10,020 --> 00:02:13,440
Charlie made some good points,
and he said something I haven't

30
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,640
heard anybody say in a long
time, which was, we didn't agree

31
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:21,560
on everything, and that's Okay,
and I think that's the problem.

32
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,400
But so I think it's inner I
really believe this is truly

33
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:34,460
happening, that if I go search
for Charlie Kirk racist, I'm not

34
00:02:34,460 --> 00:02:39,380
going to get much. But if I was
a blue person, right, if I was a

35
00:02:39,380 --> 00:02:44,560
Democrat and I Googled on
YouTube, which I realized makes

36
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,340
no sense. I searched on YouTube
Charlie Kirk races. I'm pretty

37
00:02:48,340 --> 00:02:52,840
sure I could find stuff. I'm
really starting to believe that

38
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,820
I need to log out of YouTube and
search as a brand new YouTube

39
00:02:57,820 --> 00:03:01,800
user. I'm wondering if that is
the case. And the reason I say

40
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,180
that is because I know I'm like,
hey, this the stuff I'm seeing.

41
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,940
Like, this guy makes some pretty
good points. And the other side

42
00:03:11,940 --> 00:03:16,500
of this is like, no, no, Dave.
And again, they're very some of

43
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:19,080
them are getting a little less
polite. Some of the people on

44
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,740
the right getting kind of nasty
calling, name calling. That's

45
00:03:21,740 --> 00:03:28,400
not cool, but, uh, let's, let's,
let's be civil. But I'm starting

46
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,700
to think that the reason they're
like, Dave, what's how, like,

47
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:39,320
how are you? I'm starting to
wonder if maybe the technology

48
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,580
is keeping like, hey, this Oh,
you're, you're kind of a red

49
00:03:42,580 --> 00:03:45,700
person. You're going to see this
result. I just wonder, because

50
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:49,900
it's so odd that that people on
both sides are like, no, no no.

51
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:52,360
Like, hey, you need to dig a
little deeper. It's there. You

52
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,600
got to see it. And when I dig a
little deeper, I don't see it.

53
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:02,160
And so for my friends on the
left, like, if you're like, No,

54
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,960
no, Dave, you're you're missing
it. Send me the YouTube video.

55
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,000
And both my buddy, uh, Daniel, J
Lewis and I are now like, Hey,

56
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,960
thank you for the comment. Can
you send me a link to the video

57
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,660
where he said this? Now we're
not saying he didn't say it.

58
00:04:18,660 --> 00:04:25,820
We're just like, hey, we're in
data collecting mode, and so we

59
00:04:25,820 --> 00:04:30,740
can make an honest decision
here. And so far, nobody's

60
00:04:30,740 --> 00:04:37,100
giving me the links. So people
on the left, if you're like, No

61
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:41,140
Charlie Kirk was, you know,
we're sorry. He's dead. It's an

62
00:04:41,140 --> 00:04:44,860
awful tragedy, but here's where
he was a racist, misogynist, and

63
00:04:44,860 --> 00:04:51,220
all the other is right. Send me
a link now to my friends on the

64
00:04:51,220 --> 00:04:55,780
right, I was doing a live show,
and somebody I was talking about

65
00:04:55,780 --> 00:04:59,620
how Taylor Swift is a marketing
genius, and somebody said, I

66
00:04:59,620 --> 00:05:04,500
don't. Don't lift her up. She's
the devil. She's she's in with

67
00:05:04,740 --> 00:05:08,460
Satan and blah, blah, blah, bad,
bad, bad. And I'm like, Look,

68
00:05:08,820 --> 00:05:12,420
I've been around rock and roll
enough to know that, like people

69
00:05:12,420 --> 00:05:16,860
like, oh, Ted Nugent just a drug
crazed maniac. Ted Nugent

70
00:05:16,860 --> 00:05:20,960
wouldn't drink caffeine, like he
wouldn't drink coffee. He was so

71
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,760
anti drug. And I'm like, okay,
easy there, you know, Mildred.

72
00:05:26,180 --> 00:05:31,160
I'm pretty sure you got that
wrong on TED. So I started, I

73
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,840
read, well, I listened to a
whole book on Taylor Swift, and

74
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:41,980
she's amazing. Like, at 14 years
old, she had a record deal, and

75
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:45,640
they just kind of wanted her to
wait to grow up a bit. And she

76
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,880
said, Well, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
record my own songs. And I'm

77
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,360
like, no, no. Little Taylor,
like, you don't get it, we're

78
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,820
gonna wait, and we're gonna
bring in the best songwriters,

79
00:05:54,820 --> 00:05:57,640
and you're gonna sing those and
you just wait a couple years

80
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,660
where you're under a development
deal. And she was like, no, no.

81
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,100
I'm pretty sure young girls will
like my stuff. I want to do it.

82
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:08,760
And they were like, and she
said, That's it. I'm out. And

83
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,540
she reneged on her, her like,
she got out of her, her

84
00:06:12,540 --> 00:06:17,100
development deal at 14 because
she had a vision. And I was

85
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:21,440
like, wow, that takes some
gumption, right there. But I was

86
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,360
like, Hey, let's go find this
Taylor Swift Satan stuff. So I

87
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,740
go to YouTube, type it in, and
there was a dude that's like,

88
00:06:30,740 --> 00:06:35,000
I'm here to tell you she's she's
the devil. And then gave me

89
00:06:35,420 --> 00:06:40,780
absolutely zero proof. His only
thing that he showed a video

90
00:06:40,780 --> 00:06:45,580
clip of was at the Super Bowl.
She was sitting next to someone

91
00:06:45,580 --> 00:06:51,040
who had an upside down cross.
And I was like, okay, all right,

92
00:06:51,340 --> 00:06:57,040
but sitting next to someone does
not make you a devil worshiper.

93
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,020
I'm pretty sure the last time I
checked, Jesus sat with tax

94
00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:05,700
collectors. He sat with
prostitutes, you know, hung out

95
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:11,160
with lepers. I'm pretty sure who
you sit next to does not, you

96
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,760
know, lead you to heaven or
hell. I was like, that's

97
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,760
granted, you know, you got to be
careful with who you get

98
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:23,300
influenced by. But, and there
was one thing where she was on

99
00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:28,400
some sort of award show, and she
was singing in a white dress,

100
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,620
she stood behind a bunch of
dancers who then did some sort

101
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:38,060
of rip off her clothes, and she
had a black dress on that was

102
00:07:38,060 --> 00:07:41,860
much higher cut, and a bunch of
flame shot up, and I'm like,

103
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:48,040
Yeah, rock and roll, what do you
expect? But again, I don't know.

104
00:07:49,180 --> 00:07:55,480
I cannot find, like, actual, Oh,
I saw where the again, I did a

105
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,920
thorough search. I looked at her
lyrics, and one said, karma is

106
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:06,300
God. And I was like, okay, so
she's into karma. Well, what is

107
00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:11,280
karma? Well, karma is, you know,
if you do good deeds, they will

108
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,580
come back to you. And I was
like, Where have I heard that

109
00:08:14,580 --> 00:08:20,600
before Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you?

110
00:08:20,660 --> 00:08:28,640
Huh, okay, and then she's really
into the number 13, yep. Like,

111
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,500
really into the number 13. Well,
you know, do you have that

112
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:38,120
family member that has that
weird hobby, like, for my

113
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,100
family, they're like, Yeah, I
got this guy that does

114
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:44,740
podcasting, but I have a niece
that does a lot of live action

115
00:08:44,740 --> 00:08:50,320
role playing that I love my
niece. But if you're not into

116
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,500
live action role playing, much
like if you're not into d and d,

117
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,040
if you're not into, I don't
know, model trains, if you're

118
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,240
not into whatever the hobby is,
you're kind of like, okay, you

119
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:00,960
be you.

120
00:09:02,220 --> 00:09:07,980
And so I say to you, person on
the right that thinks Taylor

121
00:09:07,980 --> 00:09:11,580
Swift is the devil. I'm not
saying you're wrong. I'm just

122
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:15,720
saying maybe when I go to search
for Taylor Swift is the devil

123
00:09:16,260 --> 00:09:20,660
and other types of searches, I
can't find anything. I need some

124
00:09:20,660 --> 00:09:25,460
proof. So again, I'm in data
collection of this, not saying

125
00:09:25,460 --> 00:09:28,460
there isn't anything out there,
just saying I haven't found it.

126
00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:36,860
But I know her, she's very good
at making ear worms that just

127
00:09:36,860 --> 00:09:39,380
hook into your brain that you
end up humming over and over and

128
00:09:39,380 --> 00:09:44,740
over. For me, the thing that I
kind of went huh, was I watched

129
00:09:44,740 --> 00:09:51,460
her tiny concert on YouTube, and
I was like, Okay, I kind of just

130
00:09:51,460 --> 00:09:56,320
treated her like a pop star, and
her songs were simple, you know,

131
00:09:56,380 --> 00:10:00,420
she had great hair, but I was
like, I'm not really gay. Admit,

132
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,220
but she is a person who knows
who her audience is, and gives

133
00:10:05,220 --> 00:10:09,000
them exactly what they want, and
then goes the extra mile. I

134
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,860
could do a whole episode on
Taylor Swift and the insane

135
00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:18,120
thing she does to connect with
her audience. Just none of them

136
00:10:18,180 --> 00:10:22,400
have, you know, slitting goats
or pentagrams or anything like

137
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,560
that, not that I've seen at
least so in this kind of world,

138
00:10:28,580 --> 00:10:33,980
we got to back up our stuff with
some videos or some sort of

139
00:10:33,980 --> 00:10:39,800
evidence, because the mainstream
media is not trustworthy because

140
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,380
they're bought and sold by big
pharma and everybody else, and I

141
00:10:44,380 --> 00:10:48,220
love all my friends on social
media. But if you're only seeing

142
00:10:48,220 --> 00:10:52,720
the left side, or you're only
seeing the right side, you're

143
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,560
not getting the whole picture.
And so we're all gonna have to

144
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:03,120
go, yeah, not that you're a
liar. Can you give me some some

145
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:08,820
links to that? I want to see
that myself and make my own

146
00:11:08,820 --> 00:11:11,220
decisions, because that's what
the media is supposed to do.

147
00:11:11,220 --> 00:11:14,760
They're supposed to go, here's
this side, here's this side.

148
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,700
This is what happened. This
would happen. This is the

149
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:21,500
result. And now you get to
decide if that's bad or good.

150
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:28,400
But I just, I'm really starting
to think that the algorithms

151
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,240
might be set up, because I've
read they are. And I'm starting

152
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,960
to think, yeah, that's true,
where only blue people see blue

153
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:42,280
results to keep them very
enshrined in the blue world. And

154
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,740
so that when somebody says
something from the red thing,

155
00:11:44,740 --> 00:11:48,940
they're like, How dare you. How
do you even think that that's

156
00:11:48,940 --> 00:11:53,920
ridiculous, and you keep all the
red people together, and that

157
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,800
way, when a blue person says
something, they're like, How

158
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:03,420
dare you. Good day, sir. Right?
Cuz, how can you even think that

159
00:12:04,020 --> 00:12:08,520
all I see is red, and I'm really
starting to think that might be

160
00:12:08,940 --> 00:12:17,640
actually true, until then, hang
in there. It's gonna get better.

161
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,120
You. You.
