Theres two sides to James O'Keefe situation. Apologies I have been making vids weekly and was mainly looking at articles regarding this 'South Park' Episode. The aftermath slipped by due to time constraints. I wasn't trying to make a whole video on the 'Acorn Scandal' just the part that was featured in the episode. I advise you to look at the information online if interested - Thanks for watching
Side one - Tax money was being wasted on welfare scammers. Side two - Yes it was fraudulent, but they deserve the money anyway. The "two sides" were like when you catch your partner cheating and they get mad that you looked at their phone, then they blame you for making them cheat
It should be noted that O'Keefe never entered an ACORN office in the central-casting pimp outfit he wore in clips between takes, and left it to the people there to figure out the "business" he was trying to set up. Several of them figured it out and extended the conversation to get info to turn over to the police.
I sense you have been a victim of woke mobbing. Never apologize to the woke mob. They will never forgive you, and neither will your fanbase for reversing yourself.
@Stevie-J Although this myth is routinely perpetrated by political actors, the reality is that fraud is quite uncommon. Error rates are examined for the SNAP program, showing overall low incidence. There are currently multiple initiatives underway to curb SNAP enrollment that appear to be fueled by unfounded concerns about fraud, abuse, and waste. In addition, the trend toward criminalization of welfare use is discussed. This includes finger-imaging welfare recipients along with drug testing. Finally, research has demonstrated that a number of poverty-stricken individuals and families who would be eligible for various safety net programs choose not to apply in order to avoid the humiliation, frustration, and stigma associated with welfare. But a lot of hungry children are just fine, right? I mean, it's their fault for being born to poor people, amiright?
I still can’t believe he managed to get 2 HOUSING LOANS AND TAX EXEMPTION from recognizing a customer of your new business after being denied a second earlier. Butters must’ve been feeling like royalty even without fully realizing😂
Oh look up the bunny ranch and other whore houses in Nevada and the other states that allow prostitution legally the pimps have tax exemption and the whores do not but they get huge tax breaks like they pay but they get 100% of the cash back along with health and other benefits paid out back
My little sister loved Betters, pretty much before anyone else did. She could go on and on for hours about how cute Butters is... She passed away in 2004. Every time I see Butters in an episode, it reminds me of the best of her... Thanks South Park!
@@RenegadeStriker7 Thank you! We all face loss. I once ask a good friend, "How long does it take to forget?" He responded, "Oh, you never forget, you just make friends with the memories!" This advice has been so helpful over the years. I'm good friends with my sister's memories.
you know.. when I heard the acorn scandal I thought about the cop freaking out because of an acorn and unloads his gun into the police vehicle at the guy inside.
@@noobamonggods2556 I'M HIT!!! Can you imagine being the guy that cop searched, cuffed and put in his backseat and not a minute later that cop is emptying the clip into his vehicle at you?
Pimpin's easy. Except when it ain't. But that's when you step up on those who stepped out and show them the hand, which you keep strong. Then, pimpin's back to being easy.
At the end of the day, all that says is you haven't found someone worth the time yet. Gen Z generally moves too damn fast anyway, and I'm living proof of that as well. The internet, pornography, and overall sexualization of younger and younger women and girls that has slowly come about over the last ~80 years is horrible brainrot for everyone. That's just scratching the surface.
Butters' repetition of the phase "y'know whadd'm sayin'?" but in proper English is hilarious. My friends and I always ask each other "Do you know what I am saying?" This is one of my favorite episodes. Nice to finally know it's based on a real scandal.
out of the controversies and dramas south park has generated, this one went quite under the radar. i rarely see or hear people talk about it in the same way as like scientology or the recent influencer special.
@@I_AM_BAYTOR sure, at the time it was released im sure it was (non american viewer here), but even in retrospective it doesnt get brought up that much.
It wasn't controversial having sweet little butters being a pimp because he's a good kid. He didn't know he was doing bad things. Truly, he wasn't being a bad kid, and wasn't doing bad things. He was respectful to everybody over the course of the episode. Yeah he paid the one kid to beat up the other but that was some chivalric stuff.
Thanks for this break down. I've always wanted to know what South Park episodes were based on. I know they take inspiration from real life events but I almost never know exactly what happened in real life. I've always thought it would be cool if there was a TH-cam channel explaining each episode and letting me know which part is based off of this happened.
That shit does happen in the streets. From what I have heard you find a mark or a customer and they work for a legit company. You then get in with them and become semi legit.
He was, at one time, pretty respectd. This one blew up for him, but he had others early on that hit him mentioned everywhere, I remember John Stewart ranting about his O'Keefe was doing all this stuff, where the hell was the actual media. To this day, I believe they're so hard on O'Keefe, and constantly just run the same narrative that he edits his stuff, even though he uploads full, uncut versions, all because most of them are worried that O'Keefe I'll eventually expose something they're doing, and they don't want to be praising his journalistic work, and then getting busted by him later on. The muddy the water, to protect themselves later haha, them and their advertisers, buddies etc.
@@ShooterMcgavin119 O'Keefe was always a known liar. Conservatives just used him to get what they wanted. Nobody respects him anymore. He got fired from his own organization for corruption. Anyone admiring him today is just stupid.
@@ShooterMcgavin119 O'Keefe has never been respected. He was, is, and always will be a dirtbag who lied and used lies to tell false stories that effected real people. He's now exactly where he should be, broke and alone.
@@ShooterMcgavin119but you don’t understand, going to the veritasRAW channel is one too many clicks for people that would say that. They have to use those clicks to send money to their favorite vtuber. Their argument only makes a small amount of sense now because I don’t know if there’s an OMGRaw channel like the veritas one
This is the best episode and theres been so many amazing brilliant ones. One of my other favorites is when randy buys a blockbuster but that doesnt come close to this.
For context bro, the pimp is saying "know what I'm saying" , usually involves a lot of nuance. It's not a shock that you didn't get it. For context, I understood what he was saying even if I didn't know what he was saying.
I hate that I did know what he was saying.... At least I think I do. 'pimps out there pimping their women out, then some saying they have to beat them and back to pimping them out. The pimp ho relationship is like being married, man and wife, you need to take care of her." As in he or someone is speaking against 'raising the pimp hand to slap a ho.' she's a lady. Like grandpa freeman would say.
0:37 WOAH, this episode was inspired by that Project Veritas thing back then?! huh. didn't realize that when I watched several years after it aired. also I haven't really gone back to watch this episode in several years and the events of the Project Veritas Acorn thing are very hazy for me now, the first time I heard of Project Veritas was via Christian Radio via Breakpoint. I think they were talking about some abortion stuff they were doing expose stuff for, but it was taken out of context. I think I also might've heard them talk about Acorn as well. But at the time I don't think I heard them ever do a follow up that this O'Keefe guy deceptive edited his videos and lied about it. sorry for all this stuff before the video starts, I just recognized a few of those images right away and it made me remember a bunch of stuff. wanted to say it before i forgot. 😅
"unfortunately" O'Keefe lied when he pretended to have been dressed up like a pimp when he spoke to them, and while they pretended to cooperate, they collected information to pass on to the police.
It's considered bad. If the government legalizes a bad thing so they can get a cut and say the crime isn't a crime anymore, the bad thing doesn't disappear they just tried to rework it as normal or good.

Butters! *OUR* Butters! Has never kissed a girl
Cartman just never gives Butters a break
I think it's sweet that he thinks of Butters as "ours".
"Yes, I do know what you are saying"
Its tetherball pole, not a flag pole.
He’s Canadian. They don’t have anything that could break a nail
leave it to a gross brony....
Missed opportunity to reference the pimp council scene from Black Dynamite.
dude just watched a clip cus your comment how have i never heard of this ? hehe watched the council clip
what about the playas ball
It wasn't quiet, it was huge at the time. Is this just for people too young to have lived through the history?
yeah exactly, I had no idea about it was a long time ago

Did you confuse the words "Exposed" and "Referenced"?
Ha "i have no idea what he's saying" neither did butters hahaha
"Do you know what I'm saying" used like the rest of us use punctuation...
Dude at the end says "Know what I'm sayin" more than J Rock
I indeed do know what you happen to be saying, my good sir.
The two things I'll always be thinking about are how did Butters get up there on that tether ball pole and how did he get down?
You done changed the game!
you know what i''m sayin?
I know what you are saying
This is what peer pressure can do to you.
Butters selling non-fungible tokens still makes me laugh......enjoyed your content.
As a german i never came across the backround information like the Acorn Scandal before;
Great Video
As a retired pimp aka Construction Manager. I know when its time to turn a trick or burn
Take a drink whenever you hear 'you know what im saying'. Drink responsibly
that is a tetherball pole
I’ve seen the episode multiple times, but I still really enjoyed your take.

I knew what he was sayin', know'm'sayin'?
Damn James o keef has been at it for a while then, amazing and hilarious, this is one of my favorite episodes
He's only hated now because he's exposing the corruption of people who think they're above the law.
Not a flag pole, its a tether ball pole. A game played in elementary school.
This was the very first episode of South Park I ever watched
The sinister glee in that bear foreshadows the rest of the episode
haha good point
Butters saying curse words like this is always great. I bet he could say anything and no one would hate him
Its hilarious that the company was called Acorn. The latin word glans translates as acorn, google it if you dont believe me.
How much for a blumpkin? 😂
... ... ... Alright, PUT 'EM UP!
your editing style gives me palpitations
thats all the red bull you drink
Butters ceo has a watermelon computer
I couldnt quite understand what the fella in the blue suit was sayin....
Remember that episode where Butters recreates all of reality by using his imagination?
Butters is basically the Haruhi Suzumiya of South Park
wait... jaems o'keefe ?! THAT o'keefe ?! the one that exposed disney's VP ?! dayum. didn't he was doing that since then
