Would You Die For Your Beliefs In the USA?

on this Wednesday, August twenty eighth. Don't forget if you're watching live on YouTube, YouTube, dot com, forward slash, Really Carrel, You're gonna like you're gonna subscribe, and there is a super chat right there where I can see your comments live during the show. Don't forget to leave comments down below, either on Patreon or on YouTube. But if you're watching live,

you can actually comment during the show. Another great reason to be here with me at ten am on YouTube so you can do the live right there, live chat. All right, would you die for your beliefs in the United States? And I'm not being esoteric. I mean we've asked people in the military for well, since there was a country to go and die for their beliefs in the United States, possibly die, and they've accepted the challenge, you know, they've been like, Okay, yeah, I would maybe

do that. And so the question becomes would you And I don't mean would you join the military and go and fight. That's a different that's a different thing. I'm asking would you die for your beliefs? Now, this has come up from something that's actually a little frightening. I've had it happen before, but I don't like it when it happens, and it is scary, and it's made me reevaluate both my show and my brand. Truly also made me delete my TikTok account. There is no more TikTok.

So a few days ago on the show where I was talking about Gus Walls and about Tim Walls, I was very emotional. You know, we were all watching the DNC and emotions are running high. And I had done some research on the Nazi Party, actually because I wanted to be sure that if I used that term to

describe Maga, that I was using it correctly. Now, if you go to Encyclopedia Britannica and you look up the term Nazi, you will see the second definition is an evil person who wants to control people based on their race, gender, sexuality, and other things like that, and that perfectly describes Maga. I think it's evil to tell a woman what to do with her body. I think it's evil, you know,

evil to make kids trans kids suffer. I think I think a lot of their policies are actually evil, and they are based on the fact that they only like cisgendered, straight white evangelicals. That's that's just all they like. And if you're not that, they don't want you to have any rights. And so in my brain I equated them with Nazis, and so as I was doing the show, I called them such. Well, a right wing influencer with four hundred thousand followers did a stitch of that snippet

and said, well, I guess we're all Nazis. Now make it stop, and in the in the comments down below in her caption, she said, make it stop and put a skull emoji. Well, I have been getting death threats. I have been. I've had people say, yeah, if we're Nazis, you know how we deal with our enemies, so watch out. And I had there was so much hate at TikTok. I had to just delete the account. I couldn't even it was just too overwhelming. Now they're flooding my Instagram

with hate below every post, attacking me personally. Of course, they're calling me communists, they're calling me pedophile. They don't like to be called a name, but they're very quick to call others' names. And as I was embroiled in this last night, I said to myself, is this really who you are? Is this fight really the fight that you literally want to die on? And the answer is no. No. Now, that doesn't mean I don't want to have views on politics.

That doesn't mean I don't want to encourage everyone to vote for Kamala and Tim Guss's dad, And that doesn't mean and I don't want to call out injustice when I see it. It just means that I no longer value America enough to deal with MAGA and to deal with the death threats and the pedophile comments and all of that. I don't have a need to have that in my life because I have had it in my life for years now, and it has turned me and the show into something that I am not. Bitter angry

name calling, and that's not me. You know, I used to be very Stephanie Miller, very humorous, very have guessed on and let them say the things. But you know, in terms of me and my persona, it was never this angry, righteous angel of doom or something that just wasn't who I was. But Donald Trump and Maga and all this anti DEI. Now we have Low's Tractor Supply, I Best Buy, Harley Davidson, John Deere, all of them

going against gays and lesbians. Now, all of this negativity being heaped on me as a gay person, I have to tell you, it's changed me. It's changed me. And I now rant and rave, and as I do, I rant and rave unchecked, meaning I will say anything. And we live in a time now where if you say anything and you're on the right, you are edified, you are made rich. They say things like kill trans people,

kill gay people. They've said some pretty horrible things. They're calling Kamala Harris communist Kamala and they don't even understand, they don't know the definition of the word communist. But if I liken them to the Nazis, and I am not the first, and they have done the Zeghil, and they have flown the Nazi flag. They themselves have likened

themselves to the Nazis. But if I pointed out, then suddenly I am getting so much hate, death threats, sending me my address and telling me to watch out, threatening ember. This morning and last night I have had so much credible hate that I had to call the Cyber Crimes Department of the Las Vegas PD and I thought, why why you don't want this? You don't even care enough Lee. If he wins, I'll go to a blue state, or I'll leave the country. I don't care enough about America

to actually receive death threats. And this show, which I thank every patron for, it makes me one thousand dollars a month nine hundred. So is nine hundred dollars a month worth having now to watch myself everywhere I go, having to file things with the Las Vegas Cyber Crimes Division? Is it worth it? And the answer is no, But it was. It spoke to me in a way that I needed to be spoken to, which is I have

let my brand become too many things. I want to be a vegan, and I want everyone to be a vegan, and I want to teach you how to cook vegan. But then I also want to be this political warrior, this liberal Bill Maher that goes after all these horrible people. I want to be the guy that will say things that no one else will say. I want to do, and yet nowadays there is a very real price to pay.

Kamala Harris, Taylor Swift, whoopee Goldberg, Joy beheart. These people all have security at their job and at their home. They have doormen, they have actual security. Kamala's got the secret Service. I'm just me and Ember, and I don't want to have to worry that if I walk down the stairs there's going to be someone down there to harm me, because Nevada is full of nuts. Because America in its current form is not worth dying for. America in its current form is not worth any sacrifice, because

it's not willing to sacrifice anything for me. All America is willing to do is call me pedophile, and you know, call me a groomer. And because that's the loudest voice in America, and that's the voice that businesses are listening to. They're not listening to the right the left wing, because the left wing is a bunch of namby Pambies, And now I see why. Why does Low's and Harley and all of them always cave to the right wingers and

not do what's right? And why don't liberals rally even a louder voice and tell Lows and Home Depot and Best Buy and those companies that are reversing their DEI that if they do so, they will suffer the wrath of more people because liberals won't shop there. Why because they know that liberals gay people are still going to go to Lows, They're still going to go to Best Buy, They're still going to ride Harley's. Because the left have lost the courage of their convictions, and the right has

become violent about theirs because they know they win that way. Now, I don't want to be one of these people that backs down. I don't want to back down to MAGA, But I certainly don't want to be shot. I don't want my house to be, you know, staked out. I don't want to be at the park and have to worry is that person riding up on the bike going to harm me. It's not worth it anymore. But more importantly,

that's not what my brand used to be. I used to go do man on the streets about would you use a moist toilet paper versus a dry toilet paper. I used to travel and take you places restaurants and different cities and different places in the world. I used to interview celebrities and music stars and film stars and stage stars and people doing local shows in San Francisco. You know, I did a lot more than politics on KGO and KFI. In fact, I barely ever did politics.

I did lifestyle topics like today we're going to talk about the Vappen band in Europe. That's the kind of topics I used to do, and you didn't ask me to change. Somewhere along the line, I changed, and I became so angry and so mad at Maga that that anger became everything all day long. You know, I've had several friends, Stephen Cabral, Daniel Amspat tell me you're mad all the time. You only see the negative in everything.

Now I don't want to be that, And if this show, or if this climate of politics in the United States is making me that way, I want to opt out. And I'm sure you do too. That's why we loved the Democratic National Convention. For four days, we didn't feel oppressed and angry and mad and not heard. We felt loved and appreciated, We felt hopeful and joyous. For four days, the horror of the last eight years was removed. MAGA didn't have a voice in the media. The DNC drowned

out all the other news like today. Donald Trump's staff got into a fight at a cemetery yesterday because there are no photo ops allowed in that part of the cemetery where Trump was, because political campaigning is not allowed on the graves of soldiers at any national cemetery, and yet there he was for a photo op. So they tried to tell him you can't take photos in this area, and his staff got angry and shoved someone that works

at the sem terry. They have now filed a complaint against the Trump campaign and the Trump staff because this person said, look, you can't use these grades for political gain. And what did they do. They shoved him. That's who they are. And for four days we didn't have to deal with that. So what am I going to do? I don't know. I don't know. I need to reinvent, and I need to take you with me on that reinvention. I need to still say stay politically aware and talk

about things like that on the show. But I don't need to be angry and I don't need to be opening myself up as a target. So you know, was I right to call them a Nazi? Yes? But was it right to call them Nazis? Obviously not, because they want to harm me. Now, so what do we do. I'm not suggesting we back down or cower, but at the same time, standing up to these people is dangerous.

Calling them out for their hypocrisy is now dangerous. Look what's happened to judges at actual federal employees, judges, different politicians who spoke out against these people and got death threats, had to go into seclusion, had to go into hiding. I don't want that for me a member. I don't want to have to go and stay with a friend somewhere because they found out where I live and they're trying to harm me. It's not worth it. So I'll

figure out what to do. In the break, I will check your chat in the super chat and see what you have to say about it. And when we come back, we are going to talk about the European ban on vappens. Also what the Italian government leader said about multi ethnic versus multiculturalism.

We have people in the super chat from Germany listening in in Germany where it's like what six in the afternoon, and we have people in Britain listening in the super chat. Ray Renati's in there. So if you're watching live on YouTube YouTube dot com

forward slash really Carrell, there is a live chat. Someone there reminded me that Laura Ingram has done a Nazi salute before, and yes she has, but again, you know, Laura Ingram has security, Laura Ingram has infrastructures for if people want to get at her. I don't, you know, I don't. I have a gun, but that's about it. And I don't want to have to think about going to bed with everything locked up and the gun by my dresser just in case someone tries to break in

and harm me. Because I called these people what they truly are by definition, that is, if you read the definition. So I think we all have been walking this line to where most of us now just ignore them because we figure, well, what can we do about them? If we get in a confrontation with them, they're gonna scream, yell or harm us. So since we can't really do much about them, just ignore them. That's how they rise to power, asked the guy in Germany. He'll tell you,

you know, So I don't know. I look at my life and I think it has made you unhappy, you know, Donald Trump and MAGA has made my life in America unhappy. They really have. And you guys make it happy, you know, being here with you. So I want to still be here with you. But I don't want to do it making myself unhappy, ranting, raving, screaming, because I'm so mad at these people. I have to find a way to just not get mad at them. I don't know how

that is, because they're infuriating. So I don't want to ignore them. I don't want to ignore the opposition. Neither do you. But at the same time, I don't want to be part of their echo chamber, and I certainly don't want to be their target, you know, because there are other issues out there. For instance, Britain is I watched the BBC a lot. I love hard talk, and Britain is thinking of banning vape pins because they're dangerous.

We know they're dangerous, and I think that's a well intentioned ban I do, But at the same time, I thought, look, we know alcohol is dangerous and leads to death, but we don't ban it. You know, we know that cigarettes tobacco are horrible. There is no upside to tobacco at all, none. One cigarette is terrible for you, and yet we don't ban them. We know that red meat and dairy are terrible for the environment and terrible for you, but we don't ban them. So why then would Britain ban vapeens

and why not just ban tobacco along with it? You know it. I believe government should be doing these things, and I know they're going to scream communism, socialism, whatever. I believe government should not allow the sale of things that are harmful to the populace, that are poisonous and toxic. Now I'm not saying things that can be used for harm but aren't really harmful. Tobacco is harmful, period, There's just no upside to it. Secondhand smoke is harmful. Tobacco

is harmful. It is harmful. It shouldn't be available as a commercial product, period. Just end We don't need it it we all pay for it. How many people are in the hospital with COPD and heart disease from smoking? My mother was one, So they smoke, and it leads them to all this healthcare that then we have to pay for. How is that fair? The same with alcohol. There's no upside to alcohol, period, end of story. Now that Jack Daniels has killed their DEI a product that

was thought of by a slave. You know, a company that was founded on the recipe of a slave, they don't even have You know, Jack Daniels wasn't even their own original recipe. It was a slave's recipe. And that slave's family now has a whiskey that they sell from that recipe, which you should buy instead of Jack Daniels, or just by my friend he's's sextro rye. But again, we know that alcohol is bad for you. We know it is will in moderation. Nope, we now know that

even one drink is bad for you. So why is it commercially available? Why are plastic bottles which are killing more people than vape pens? So why doesn't Britain ban plastic bottles, single use plastic bottles? Why go after an industry that's an easy target. If you really want to help Britain or America or the world band tobacco ban alcohol, I watch ambulance and I watch twenty four hours in the A and E on Amazon at the A and E in London, King's King's Cross King's Crossing, I think

it's called between midnight and five am. Almost everything is alcohol related. They're spending an enormous amount of resources on people who get too drunk and end up in the er. They wouldn't have to if they simply banned alcohol. But how could they do it? You see, people want things that are bad for them. They do. They're called vices, and we want them. In fact, in times of poverty and despair, the vices flourish. So where do you stand.

Should they ban pens in Europe and all over the world or is it just another one of those things where yeah, it's bad for you, but really, look, my friend Daniel did ketamine and it killed him. And while it's not legal, you know what, he willingly and knowingly bought it. He sought it out. No one forced him to drink alcohol. Well, it was vodka and ketamine that killed him. No one made him take the ketamine, no one made him take the vodka. He did it willingly,

He sought it out. Humans are always going to seek out things that are bad for them. So is it up to government to keep those things from the humans. Since we know we don't have the willpower to not smoke, not drink, some of us to not smoke, not drink, you know, not eat red meat, not eat dairy. We don't have the willpower to stay away from things that are bad for us. So does it become government's job to keep those things from us? I would love to hear what you have to say down below. Also in

the super chat, let's see where they are. Hello from California, Mike Nelson, Matt m More oxygen. Um. Uh, let's see someone said, I'd love for you guys to go in the forest, to live in a tent and interview people out in the forest. That's my biggest fear. My psychiatrist once asked me what my biggest fear was. I said, being stuck alone in the middle of a forest. That's my biggest fear. So I don't think that I'm gonna I don't camp. My idea of camping is a hotel

without room service after midnight. That's that's roughing it for me anyway. So do you think it's up to government to keep harmful things out of the hands of its people, like vape pens. And if that is the role of government partially, then why doesn't it keep the things that cost government the most money out of the hands of the people, like red meat, dairy, tobacco, alcohol. These are

all terrible for you. Cars are terrible for theenvironment. Thirty thousand people a year in America alone die on the roads. Cars are bad for everything. Why don't we ban them and just go all public transportation? See how does government pick and choose what it's going to ban versus what it allows, even though it's banning vap pens but allowing tobacco. How do they reconcile that? How do you reconcile that? So do you think it is government's job to keep

us from things that would harm us? They try all the time. They said speed limits. There's regulations about what corporations can and cannot do. In the grocery store, there's tons of regulations about what they can and cannot sell. You can't go into Vond's and buy hemlock, So the question becomes, why can you go in and buy red meat and dairy. It's as bad for you as hemlock. Number one cause of colon cancer. Red meat when colon

cancer cost us a fortune. If we stopped red meat production, we'd stop a lot of cancers and save a lot of money. Why don't we do it? Why do we pick on things like vape pens and not on the real things that actually harm us? I have the answer. Do you have the answer? Anyone in the chat have the answer? I have the answer. Let's see, I have the answer. Let's see. Prohibition didn't work out very well.

That's right, Ray, it didn't because people are going to get things that they want, even if those things are harmful. So how does government stop that? Or should it? Prohibition did not work out well, And if you banned tobacco, that would be a prohibition and it would go underground and they would still get cigarettes. So should it just all be free? Just let people have whatever they want. They're gonna die. How they're gonna die. They're gonna, you know,

cause the harm they're going to cause to themselves. To the plan. I'd love to hear your comments on that below. I know it's money, by the way, It has nothing to do with morality. It has nothing to do with which substances are worse, which ones are better. It's money. Which substances have the better rallying group, the better lobbying group. The meat and dairy industry have huge lobby group, that's

why there's no regulations on them. Tobacco has huge lobby groups, that's why people still smoke in movies and in real life. The vape industry obviously doesn't have a huge lobby group. Now I heard something on BBC that we could talk about in another show because it's really an in depth topic. But this handsome Italian man who is right under the Prime Minister, he's part of the Brothers of Italy. He said that Italy is for immigration, about eight hundred thousand

immigrants they want. However, once the immigrants are in their country, they have to be Italian. In other words, he is for multi fn but he is not from multi culturalism, he says, and this is very right wing by the way. He says, the culture of Italy is Italian, Italian food, Italian values, Italian art, Italian everything, and that he doesn't

want their culture. Okay, you can come to Italy and you can be of many ethnicities and that's fine, but once you're in Italy, you must become part of their culture, not bring your culture to Italy. He doesn't want this rainbow fabric. He wants a monoculture of Italian Italian. He wants everyone to be Italian and have the same type culture. Leave your culture at home. You can come. You can be Black or Asian or whatever, but you have to

love Italy and you have to love Italian culture. Now, in some ways, I agree with some of the tenants of that statement. I don't like when people come to America and try to inflict Sharia law or try to inflict the ways of their culture on our culture, because we have a constitution and we believe a certain way. You know, all people are created equal and all that. So I don't like when they come here and they don't like the tenants that our country was founded on.

But I do love their cultures. I love eating food from various places. I love festivals that celebrate cultures. I love the Holy Festival where they throw the wonderful powdered you know, inks and colors all over you. The Indians. I love all cultures. I love Native American culture. I love learning about their cultures, and I love going and being immersed in their culture. In Italy, he says, No, the only culture he wants to be immersed in is

Italian culture. Does he have a point multi ethnicity, Yese culturalism. No, because you are going to a new country and they already have a culture, and so you either assimilate into that culture or don't go again. I'd like your comments on that. We'll check the chat, but also down below at YouTube dot com forward slash, Really, Carrell, Governments should treat addictive substances as a healthcare issue, not a criminal justice issue. People should be able to get help for

bad habits and addiction instead of shaming people. And then someone said, but there's no money in recovery. That's so true. That's Matt M. Matt M. Thank you for your post there in the super chat, and thank everyone that's in the superchat. All Right, I can't steve from a completely different point of view yours.
