💯. I lived in the Bay Area and they always did stories about his adoptive family and he never had an Afro or talked about police brutality or race. It’s all a fraud and it’s disappointing
He was a loser who did it for attention and $. He gives no rats ass about the black community. Police brutality in general is a lie by our politics. Most of these know people that got shot created the situation. Just obey and don't resist. If the cops are wrong let the courts deal with it or sue them but don't put your life in danger.
Also he said he idd it to bring awareness so something could be done.....except before he ever did it barrack obama had a new mandate that had the DOJ looking at every single police shooting of a black person. So something was already being done....but obama purposely didn't say that an kaperdick was too uneducated and a loser to acknowledge facts.
I never like the idea of kneeling for the flag, because I know what it means to me and I know that their are soldiers that died for it, but what even ticked me off more was when I realized that him taking the knee wasn't even for freedom, social injustice, or police brutality. It was a publicity stunt and cause he wanted all the attention back on him. Ppl have the right to protest but don't protest our flag.
What Tom is saying is that government has changed American from the fundamental principles it was founded upon. We should all love America as the Idea it was originally founded.
My husband did three tours during Desert Storm and he and most see the flag as a representation of what and who they're fighting for. When people take a knee he feels it's the same as someone spitting in his face. That's what the big deal is. You also don't have to be born in the USA to love it and feel Patriotic about it. Many people have become citizens from all countries and most adopt the USA as their home country in their hearts not just on paper.
Hi s Own Opinion of course, But I am also a Desert Storm and Desert Shield Vet and I feel it is that persons right to kneel at the flag, We Kneel to pray, Why can't we kneel at the flag. To some people it is another sign of respect. Shows how unique the USA is!
@@louisschierbaum7801 because the inherent sentiment of kneeling is a protest against the flag? The basis of kneeling for the flag is a claim that one is oppressed and therefore forced to kneel.
@@theyellowmeaning what’s worst burning a flag or taking a knee ? Like how’s that even disrespectful? I’ve seen people burning the flag spit on it and hold the middle finger to it but taking a knee is being disrespectful towards it ?
@@jazzzzzz5626 Both have the same sentiment. Both are performed by people with the same misconceptions about the United States. So in this regard, burning is worse, but it starts with people taking a knee in protest because they can't get away with burning just yet.
The flag represents the soldiers and the country. What Tom is saying is that the flag (for him) does not represent the government. The government represents the people and the country IS the people not the government. First large country that was built from the ground up upon the people and not a ruling class. We have been loosing that idea for years.
We have to start equating the flag to America as it was founded and stop seeing it wrapped around our dysfunctional government that’s becoming more tyrannical everyday with the help of the media, big tech and the useful idiots who want America destroyed.
@@deanf7086 The flag represents the federal government, the USA, but also represents America. The government cannot be divorced from the flag just because you don’t like them.
I think what going on Cartier is your just not up on politics in America. The mental illness line is stating everyone's losing their minds now and it doesn't matter which political party your with they are all nuts. MAD TRUTH TO THAT.
Yup spot on, I’ve watched enough of their videos to see that their just simply not up to speed on politics and the culture war going on in society right now
Heritage is something that gets passed on from generation to generation. So the soldiers fought so that You may have freedom. I say you, because I'm UK. I still get what he's saying. I saw the riots that went on last year, and I felt exactly what Tom is saying in this song. The UK is also a melting pot of culture. If you ask me, I'd say the UK history is worse than Americas. How we created the British Empire, then moved to America to steal the land there. Americans used to be British, until independance. History is there so humans don't make the same mistakes. I believe Tom is saying hate the government, not the country. We have a saying over here. "Don't shit on your doorstep". Basically don't disrespect your home. Anyway soldiers die for our freedoms, so we should pay homage to them. BLM was paying homage to criminals resisting arrest. Defunding police means more criminals can commit crime without police interference. Who would back that, except criminals.
@@gabrielonofrei6154 It's not reactionary, it's fabricated. The media fabricates white on black stories, and people fall for the narrative. The fact that people are pointing to the past, talking about slavery, instead of being happy that its a problem America overcame, and moved past is crazy.
They want a reactionary white identitarian movement to bring the global war on terror home. But most in the BLM movement joined in as a reaction to learned and real trauma.
@@gabrielonofrei6154 Even if it is a reactionary movement, it's one that isn't actually attempting to solve the problems it formed in reaction to. Murder rates have increased with BLM presence in minority communities of all ethnic backgrounds. Meanwhile all those official BLM Marxists are going around buying multiple houses in high class neighborhood.
No one that I’ve seen yet had spoken on the line about “we don’t want anyone dead, so please do not tread on me.” The “Do Not Tread On Me” flag/logo was from the American Revolution and it exist still today as a way of saying, “anyone (government or not) treads on my freedom/liberties will be met with self-defense.” He’s saying we want to live in peace but if you come around me trying to take my life or freedom away or change it I will fight back and people will probably die.” It’s heavily supported by the 2nd Amendment. I live Tom’s reference of this logo! I’m from Texas and it’s a way of life for many people here.
"Trying to burn the heritage" he meant people working their hardest to destroy the things that this country was built on. The first, second, third, and fourth amendments, there are many people working towards defeating the bill of rights. We are all free, and people have fought and died to ensure that we all have those rights. If we give those up we will be ruled by the elites, and that will not end well. We are human and we need to be able to speak against the rulers, if we can't then everyone who died for our freedom has died in vain! HOG family for life, stay up, stay strong, and stay healthy! Hangover gang will always be here!
Hes from Canada, his visa for the us came in about 9 months into his sober journey living at his moms and dealing with major anxiety and depression. That is why he loves america so much because it literally made him the star that he is.
No lol he came because NOVA called him and told him to come check out LA. He went there and the rest is history. He’s talked about who got him to the US and it was Nova
I’m pretty sure the dude in the white shirt saw this with y’all Sunday night lol. Come on guys don’t delete the video and make a new reaction like it’s y’all’s first time watching it. I rather y’all keep it honest and real like y’all did Sunday night. This is America, you are not always going to please everybody on every video or in anything in life. That’s why we watch y’all for y’all’s honest reaction. After seeing the first reaction Sunday night y’all let me down by deleting the video because y’all made people unhappy by what y’all said. Even if we don’t agree with y’all’s reaction, I will always respect honesty over fake.
We the people are self governing.. and thus the government. The problem is the government today has grown so flipping big they have assumed control over the people who were meant to self govern. Our Constitution is actually important.
You guys are doing exactly what I think Tom is trying to spark. You are trying to understand someones perspective and you are conversing about it. This is what America is lacking. I disagree with some of your views but I love that you talk about your views because it helps me understand why you believe what you believe. "Lets just have the conversation". Thanks guys!
The respect for the flag is something all should believe. It isn't only about the military, it is about EVERYONE who sacrificed for the development and protection of the USA and it's citizens. I mean everyone, starting from day 1, immigrants. slaves, etc... Give credit to those it belongs to and RESPECT them and the flag they sacrificed for. How people do not get offended by these people desecrating the Stars and Stripes seriously eludes me. You need to research that Soldier that told him it was ok to kneel instead of sit. That was taken out of context. No soldier would ever approve of kneel during the National Anthem.
I generally enjoy y'all's reactions. But here's the deal. This video highlights the difference between the education I received 50 years ago and the lack of education y'all are getting. We Americans used to have a common frame of reference regarding our history. While we, your elders, weren't payng attention, the marxists came in and erased or distorted our past. They made it harder for you to read and then narrowed the subjects you were allowed to explore. If you knew the history of our people as they settled here and moved west, you'd have more pride in your country and the accomplishments of our people. And no, I'm not black. I'm an American, just like you.
So I graduated HS in 95...190 college credits...mostly means shit to understand Tom...sons of liberty academy or greatest truth never told, both produced by Chris Duane...that is about 50hrs of video needed to understand Tom, and a healthy dose of current events
I sometimes enjoy their reactions but, overall they are clueless on politics and the messages in Tom’s songs so, I unsubscribed and just pop in from time to time. Definitely indoctrinated! Would love to know what college they are all graduating from this Spring obviously a liberal college and in a Blue State !
The fact that people can decide whether the flag is important to them or not shows the freedoms of America. Some countries would not allow that disrespect. The kneeling wasn't so much the flag, it was during the anthem. The anthem is in remembrance of the men and women who died. Here you can hate your country and criticize every aspect of if and you get nothing. In some countries you'd be jailed, maybe even killed for it. A country doesn't have to be perfect. It's loving your country enough to fight for it. There's many reasons I don't agree with the BLM movement. But I believe if they were protesting in a way that does not degrading the country but that actually has to do with what they're protesting, I never would have become angry over it. The police are not the country. Our country is the constitution. Our country are the men and women who die for us to stay free and safe in this country. ❤🤍💙
@@Kino_Akir if you place all cops in the same category as bad cops, you’re doing exactly what you’re taking a stand against. Defund the police? Really? It’s the dumbest thing. Make them accountable. Everybody should be accountable for their own behavior. It’s not that hard to abide by the code of conduct. And if you don’t abide, don’t fight it when you’re busted. (‘You, you’re, your’ in the collective sense). Anyhow. Hope your day goes well. Be kind. Smile at someone you wouldn’t usually smile at. Let the hate go.
If BLM wasn't pushing Marxism and backed by corrupt global corporations they would have never gotten on TV. What's worse is that the "heroes" they choose are absolute scumbags while they ignore genuine good people being treated badly. Black lives absolutely do matter, but BLM is a smoke screen for pushing communism and slavery on all of us.
Most Tom Macdonald fans are fair minded, as long as the criticism is fair, most realize not everyone is going to have the same experiences or opinions. Everyone should be able to voice their opinions and have open discussions without bullying and canceling.
But there critique wasn't about the song, cool if they didn't like it, that's their right. But their critiques were all about Tom, personal attacks, what's RIGHT ABOUT THAT, NOTHING. THEY OWE TOM AN APOLOGY, they gonna get likes for someones 🎵 they're dogging on personally, wow🙃🤔🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@marywicker1878 why are you posting and on everyone's comments? We all saw what you said now you're fighting HOG fam. It's ok. If you don't like them, don't watch. Honestly. Btw comments HELP their algorithm so you're doing them a favor I guess?
@@xxKaTxx oh 👍, I've loved watching their reaction's to Tom the best but always has a little hesitation due to lack of life, I'm 56 year's old, don't falsely degrade someones character as they did Tom's on first reaction and again mocking it with rehearsed lies that backfired, so yeah you think I care about likes raising the stream up, you just don't do that, period ECSPECIALLY when everyone knows it's BULLSHIT, girly bye bye..😂🤮🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This is Grandma from Texas. I think y’all are awesome. There is NOTHING scary about any of y’all. U r soo cute and handsome and funny and smart. I love ur videos. UNITED we STAND 👍🇺🇸
Police brutality happens to everyone black white Asian Hispanic. The way to avoid act like you have brains and treat cops with respect and like people don't fight with them or argue or make it a race issue.
Agreed, but we also have a loss in accountability of police. *KNOWINGLY* allowing kids in Parkland to be murdered doesn't get you jail, but rather returned to duty with full pension. *INTENTIONALLY* murdering a pest control guy in a hotel doesn't get you thrown in jail, only relocated to another department. *INTENTIONALLY* using civilians as a bullet shield on the highway in Miami doesn't get any investigation. *KNOWINGLY* violating the constitution with gun seizures and civil asset forfeiture gets you praised. *KNOWINGLY* enforcing "unofficial" quotas instead of just making sure people's rights are protected. We need police, but we need them to be accountable to actually "SERVE AND PROTECT". Funny thing, they are *NOT* legally required to serve nor protect.
When he's talking about "burning the heritage", to me it means all the people trying to cover up all the bad stuff from history that they don't like, which isn't going to help anyone learn from the mistakes of history and grow going forward. But what he actually means I'm not forsure either.
Yes but military people when they died they get buried with that flag over them covering the coffin then it's folded and given to one of their loved ones
You young men are willing to put yourselves out there and speak from your heart. I respect you for that. If more people in this country both spoke freely and let others speak freely then this place could heal from its mistakes more quickly and more completely . Mutual Respect is the most important piece of open communication. Great Video Guys!
No disrespect everyone is entitled to their opinions 💯 However a lot of people died for the flag. Look up the real meaning of the national anthem. People literally died so the flag wouldn't fall. Otherwise I enjoy watching you guys.
With the military brass going woke and pushing Marxism, I have a hard time respecting anyone that stays in the military. There's no respect earned by being the pawn of Marxists.
Right, what he doesn't realize is, whether he is overseas or in prison, he's still at risk of dying and at least overseas he can fight for our country, in prison he would be fighting just to stay alive or to not get bent over by someone bigger, and in the end after coming home from war he would have everyone's respect but coming home from prison, just disgrace
A soldier never started a war. He does not have that power. The flag represents your country and people thereof. An identifier just like any country flag.
Soldiers died for that flag way before the current pointless wars going on, if the confederacy won the civil war we wouldn’t have gotten to keep our flag, WE1 WW2 revolutionary... the flag represents all of the people who fought through those til now
If anyone can become a cop then why don't we have an abundance of them? Is it because alot of people don't want to put their lives on the line (especially nowadays?)
These boys should of left well enough alone, they're just digging their personal attacks on Tom's, not the song Tom, they have lied about the first reaction thinking we all forgot the disgusting things they said about Tom. And to say right here in there reaction title, that first time Brandon hearing, WTF he was the worst of all with silo, unbelievable..🤮
@@marywicker1878 wish I had seen it. These guys have no interest in Tom as a musician or in his political messages are above their heads. They do Tom reactions purely for Clout Chasing to get more views to get more $$ in their utube checks that they get. I unsubscribed long ago as they are clueless, liberals, indoctrinated, clout chasing on every Tom videos that are released. Fake as hell always don’t even finish the videos.A couple of them both ignorant & pompous both
I think a lot of people miss the point with Colin. He is fine to kneel but actions have consequences. You can’t do an action and then get mad about the consequences. He also knelt at work during his job. Period. Freedom of speech deals with what the government can and can’t do, not what a private organization can say about your political speech at work. Lastly, the flag represents the people and the country founded by the people. The people that bled and died for the people. Just because you can do something (kneel) doesn’t mean you should.
In all honesty I don't think it's that people are missing what Colin is trying to do and say it's that he went about protesting his issues in the wrong way. First off he did it on his company's dime which is not okay if they're not aware that something like that's going to happen knowing it might have some thing to do with some kind of a protest. It's almost just like the black lives matter organization calling its movement in those words because it makes it sound as though other races and other people don't matter because they're not being included in the title. It should have been called black lives matter too and that would have stomped out all of this confusion
Your parents/grand parents fought for more than just their families. Even if they didn’t realize it. Our flag isn’t what’s special it’s what it represents. Kneeling is disrespectful because they have many who did die and fought for our country AND their families. We should forever honor them.
“You can hate the government and still love the country” Yes, the government and the country are two different things. The country is *the people* not the government. That’s why the first words in the Constitution are “We the People”
This is Grandma from Texas again 😳. Do this simple exercise. Say the Pledge if Allegiance while saluting the flag. Do the same through the National anthem. It is pretty simple to decipher who Kapernick was disrespecting. At the end of the day it is YOU he has disrespected it is US. UNITED we STAND. Keep the videos coming y’all. I’m loving this 😉👍🇺🇸
It didn't seem like these reactors were familiar with US history, the true stories behind what Tom was saying. It's sorta like when a comedian tells a joke and some people don't get the punchline because they didn't understand the context. This seems to be the result of our "education" system that doesn't teach civics or history anymore like it once did. The end result is people not knowing about their own history, the good, the bad, and the ugly. JMHO.
No one should be giving you a hard time for your opinions whether they agree or disagree w you. That's the freedom we all should have. Interesting discussion regarding some very important issues gentlemen, thank you for posting!
Tom McDonalds lyrics and message is so sophisticated and ahead of everybody else these dudes can’t even explain the song at all. These dudes should stick to mumble rap.
As a mother of sons in the military please do everyone.a favor and don't ever join with your immature mindset... with the exception of the young man sitting in the center. God bless you all.
Okay, I hope I can translate everything running through my head correctly for you guys. Because I love to watch y’all’s reactions to music. I can tell you’re passionate people from watching your videos. So I’m hoping what I’m trying to say comes across the way I want. The flag is all of us. America as a whole. WE are the flag. When he’s talking about soldiers dying for the flag, he’s saying that soldiers have died for all of us. To keep our country and our freedoms alive and safe from enemies foreign and domestic. All of our enemies would love to watch us (i.e. our citizens AND our flag) and our freedom burn. Our soldiers go to wars to protect us and our freedoms from those people. Without our soldiers, our rights, and our freedoms; the last FREE country in the world, would disappear. He’s not saying that we think the flag is the soldiers. Not at all. Our Military is our country’s bodyguards. Without the people who fight and die for our country, we wouldn’t be living life freely. At this time, our country doesn’t draft our Military members; which means that everyone in the Military, at this point in time, is there willingly because they love our country and want to defend it from whatever is needed with whatever means necessary. I’ve had many family members in the Military, so I back our Military and our Police and if I ever see someone disrespect our flag right in front of me, you’ll see my brand of crazy surface. Just because you have the right to do something, it doesn’t mean you should do it. Show some respect for the soldiers that have died for that right you want to exercise, you know?
So I don’t agree with taking a knee for our flag BUT he has a RIGHT to do so because he is FREE. That’s what our soldiers fought for. They fought for us to be free. You can do whatever you want. Some people will like it, some won’t. Either way you can do it and that’s the whole point of freedom.
Our heritage is our shared history, both the good and the bad. Also, when dude took his mask off, that may have been the greatest smile I've ever seen. Well done.
I missed the live so I don't know what Brandon said...but I loved his reaction to Tom's verse in Dax's song "Propaganda"! He liked this song so..."Let's Go Brandon" lol 🤣🤣 #hog4life #novarockafeller
Brandon was so disrespectful, dogging on Tom's character, don't like the song cool, disrespecting Tom, and on this reaction they have told a lot of lie's about the first one, 1.3 thousand of us saw it, they are lying now about this being Brendan's first time, wow🤮
Awww man. I really respect your interpretation and insight of Tom’s vids, but this time you were off. I feel that you stepped off your beliefs so for that I’m disappointed. This is a side that I don’t agree with you all. Still much love for the Fam but disagreement this time…big time.
I had to flee my homeland as a kid to be ALIVE today- Believe me AMERICA is the best Country and the FLAG is very important as is the culture and everything it offers. I would be dead today as a 47 yrs old man had this Country not allowed me to come here LAGALLY. God Bless all of you
He’s from Canada but speaks the truth more about what’s going on then us Americans I’m a huge fan of him and always will be he speaks facts and the truth the ones that get ass hurt bout him are the real prob anymore
Love this. Love y’all doing these Tom reaction videos. It’s needed and y’all are amazing for standing up and doing it. I cry watching yalls reactions bc it’s just amazing to finally see other people liking Tom. Everyone has their own opinion and is entitled to it and I just gotta say i love yalls opinions and views!!
Your right, cops do need a raise because they're the people that run into danger to save people's lives while everyone else is running away waiting for someone to help save them. Not all cops are bad. Those are the people saving us when we need help.
I'm all for people speaking up for what they believe in, but as far as the NFL goes they need to do that sh*t at halftime not during the National anthem. Start interrupting their corporate sponsors instead maybe...🤷
WHAAAT? You want these people to disrupt the sacred corporations? But then how will those corporations buy up politicians and push Marxism to make us all slaves? Imagine thinking that we shouldn't be slaves to Apple, Google, and Pfizer... Madness.
Not just kneeling for the the flag. Kneeling for the anthem. As a reminder, the anthem is directly talking about the fight for freedom by the soldiers. That’s why so many people don’t like the kneeling. It IS a direct slap in the face of those brave people who sacrificed for this country. Judge for yourself. Here are the lyrics: Say, can you see By the dawn's eaely light What so proudly we hailed At the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars Through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched, Were so gallantly, yeah streaming? And the rocket's red glare The bombs bursting in air Gave prooof through the night That our flag was still there Oh say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and at the home of the brave
As a current active duty I will accept standing or kneeling because that’s the whole point of why we became Americans in the first place, a true soldier will not tear you down for you expressing your freedom. But the flag is more of a representation of the soldiers to most because we used that as our symbol for the world to recognize us. If you want you can react to this video and see why so many see the flag as a representation of our soldiers strength more than just the country itself. It took all of the soldiers sacrifices to make this flag recognizable to the world. Their spilt blood made it as powerful as it is now. Good video guys, made me laugh! ruclips.net/video/YaxGNQE5ZLA/видео.html
I fw yall heavy! It ain’t just the military Hes saying you can hate the corruption in the government but still love the freedom we have! We are all blessed to be Americans.
Tom is the immigrant we want Tom is an American and Tom even though he is from Canada and Canada ain't the worst but they still don't have the freedoms we do he understands oppression tad bit better than most of us Americans Tom's American and that's that
The heritage is about not forgetting where you come from. You need to know and understand the good and the bad. Learn from the bad and make sure it does not come back.
Heritage- about this song, we have an ugly past here in this country, but you can’t get rid of it. Accept it happen and learn from it. Don’t try to bury it from this existent. As far as hating the government and still loving the country. The fact that if the government is to work for the people. They represent us. We should vote those out that need to be voted out. We need to stand for their bs. We have the right to stand up for a tyrannical government. As far as the flag for me and the national anthem. As a veteran, I don’t care to kneel or stand. You have that right. I won’t be a hypocrite on the topic, but I will always stand. I remind myself just as the lyrics “And the rocket's red glare The bombs bursting in the air Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there” that no matter the outcome or how bad it gets, we as Americans still stand proud and will always bounce back/ still around tall; I wish people would break down the lyrics of the anthem-like they do these videos.
What I love about Tom is how he gives a point of View from the outside if you think about it. Yes he is an American Citizen, But before that he was Canadian . This shows the view outside of the country and he is 1000% right! #hoggang
When we were a child, we thought like a child, and we acted like a child. As we grew up ...we made mistakes. But, we learned from our mistakes, faced them, made changes, and grew up. America is still young. It's made mistakes, but it's been changing, addressing mistakes, facing them, and learning. We didn't grow up over night. Neither does America. I don't stop loving, and start hating and putting down my children as they grow up and make mistakes. We shouldn't treat America like a hardened stone-cold criminal. Just my opinion. I understand "why" people kneel, I just disagree about 'when' they kneel. It is disrespecting the flag and the country it represents, because of being angry at the system. The flag doesn't represent the system, it represents the people ...all the people, We the People. I am angry at "it - the system-government" too. My husband's coffin was draped with that flag, he died defending that flag (10-3-93 Mogadishu). By all means kneel ....AFTER the anthem. I will kneel with you because my husband died so you have the freedom to kneel. My son, currently serving in the Navy is putting his life on the line for that freedom. Stop the game for a minute, not the respect. The game can't commence if the players and fans kneel. But when I see people kneeling, or turning their backs on the flag, that hurts my heart. Just like my heart hurts when I see my fellow Americans being oppressed or disenfranchised. That flag ...and what it stands for, and us coming together is the ONLY power we have, besides God, that can really address those issues. "I won't kneel for the anthem, because the flag is what I'm standing for. You can hate the government and still love the country." #HangOverGang #TomMacDonald #America
Kapernick took a knee to say america is racist. America is the least racist. Ppl dislike him not because he kneeled. But because they DO NOT think America is racist. Cops need more training and more funding and that is the opposite of what Kapernick was saying.
The problem isn’t kneeling, burning or protesting of the flag. The problem is doing it and not fully understanding what it costs to have the right to do so. “The cost of a burned flag is a folded one”
Tom is saying that its disrespectful to take a knee during the National Anthem. The song was wrote about the men that died holding up the flag of freedom while being bombarded by cannon fire .The British could not believe that our flag was still standing by the Dawn's early light..but it was because the brave Patriots that died one after another holding it up in place...please RESEARCH. Frances scott key witnessed it and wrote our National Anthem.
Fellas take it from me. As a correctional officer don’t go to prison. Take ya chances at war. Another great video. Glad to see Louisiana represented so well. God bless y’all
Yall just keep being real. Don't let fanatical fans keep you from disagreeing legitimately. Tom and his real fans appreciate free thought. Don't confirm, you guys are younger than his main demo so speak from your perspective.
You didn't have to redo your reactions. It's ok not to agree with everything Tom says. I don't. I know by your other reactions to Tom that you rock with him.
12:55 No, he’s not saying the flag is about the soldiers, he’s saying soldiers died for what the flag represents, and that’s the freedom of everyone in America.
You’re free to openly love or hate America and that’s what makes this country so great. People in other countries don’t have that freedom of expression. That’s why you should love and cherish it. When he says burn the heritage he’s talking about our foundation. The inherent right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Nowadays the youth is taught to hate this country, its founding principles and its constitution. They’re only taught to focus on the negative. America is the best country on earth.
Wait until you have a child...to keep them living in a free country you would fight. No soldier would EVER tell anyone to kneel for the flag or the anthem. Y'all need to go lusten to Candace Owens.
NFL players represent their team and city, so what they say and do matters. Also, you shouldn't be protesting while at work, in uniform, and on the clock. That is totally unprofessional. There is a time and place for everything. Go to your job and start protesting when you are on the clock, see how that works out. LoL. Also, don't protest the flag when the team you play for receives money from the military. Just stupid!
I really respect your guys opinion and time you took to explain the video as well as your point of view. One thing I took away that I wanted to say. The flag isn't JUST about our soldiers it is about our country. It's about the blood that was spilt to make America what it became. The government today SUCKS!! But at the end of the day it's WE THE PEOPLE who have to come together to change it. That's what our founding fathers sought after. Until we all come together and unify, we will continue to be ruled. Even if you don't agree with the war, it's what keeps us free as well as to help other people. That is what Tom is trying to get people to understand. There are plenty of ways to go about standing against police brutality, but what does kneeling do? Besides piss off patriots. Especially someone with enough money to go about making a change. Why aren't people striving to have qualifications to become a police officer harder? Why not fight for yearly screenings for Officers to make sure they are still fit to be on duty? SO MUCH RESPECT when I heard y'all say "I don't think they should defund the police just make it harder" THAT is something everyone should/could agree on. There are so many different things Kaepernick could have done to "Protest" and the people who are pissed about it, know that. And they're also the strong believers of "You can hate the government and still love the country." America today makes it so people don't have to be drafted into war. So that it is a freedom to choose to go and not be forced. Such a good video by Tom. Much love guys 🤍🤍🇺🇸 #HOG4LIFE
The flag stands for We the People, not We the Government, if the flag falls We the People fall. Remember, if the people fear the government it's tyranny, but if the government fears the people it's liberty! 🇺🇸
The American flag represents the ideas that the founding fathers had… they didn’t practice what they preached at the time and we shouldn’t make any excuses for that… at least half of the founding fathers were opposed to slavery but they couldn’t do anything about it at the time and some of them even had slaves. These were people who can make mistakes. Their ideas helped us to get where we are today and we fought a war against each other where millions died to stop that practice. We all need to work together as equals to make the country better and to keep it the best country in the world.
Kaepernick never took a knee until he got benched. Kaepernick was raised by upper middle class white parents.
💯. I lived in the Bay Area and they always did stories about his adoptive family and he never had an Afro or talked about police brutality or race. It’s all a fraud and it’s disappointing
He was a loser who did it for attention and $. He gives no rats ass about the black community. Police brutality in general is a lie by our politics. Most of these know people that got shot created the situation. Just obey and don't resist. If the cops are wrong let the courts deal with it or sue them but don't put your life in danger.
Also he said he idd it to bring awareness so something could be done.....except before he ever did it barrack obama had a new mandate that had the DOJ looking at every single police shooting of a black person. So something was already being done....but obama purposely didn't say that an kaperdick was too uneducated and a loser to acknowledge facts.
White leftist parents *
I never like the idea of kneeling for the flag, because I know what it means to me and I know that their are soldiers that died for it, but what even ticked me off more was when I realized that him taking the knee wasn't even for freedom, social injustice, or police brutality. It was a publicity stunt and cause he wanted all the attention back on him. Ppl have the right to protest but don't protest our flag.
What Tom is saying is that government has changed American from the fundamental principles it was founded upon. We should all love America as the Idea it was originally founded.
My husband did three tours during Desert Storm and he and most see the flag as a representation of what and who they're fighting for. When people take a knee he feels it's the same as someone spitting in his face. That's what the big deal is.
You also don't have to be born in the USA to love it and feel Patriotic about it. Many people have become citizens from all countries and most adopt the USA as their home country in their hearts not just on paper.
Did three tours in desert storm?? Desert storm lasted 2 months you 🤡 😂. GTfO with that shit.
Hi s Own Opinion of course, But I am also a Desert Storm and Desert Shield Vet and I feel it is that persons right to kneel at the flag, We Kneel to pray, Why can't we kneel at the flag. To some people it is another sign of respect. Shows how unique the USA is!
@@louisschierbaum7801 because the inherent sentiment of kneeling is a protest against the flag? The basis of kneeling for the flag is a claim that one is oppressed and therefore forced to kneel.
@@theyellowmeaning what’s worst burning a flag or taking a knee ? Like how’s that even disrespectful? I’ve seen people burning the flag spit on it and hold the middle finger to it but taking a knee is being disrespectful towards it ?
@@jazzzzzz5626 Both have the same sentiment. Both are performed by people with the same misconceptions about the United States. So in this regard, burning is worse, but it starts with people taking a knee in protest because they can't get away with burning just yet.
The flag represents the soldiers and the country. What Tom is saying is that the flag (for him) does not represent the government. The government represents the people and the country IS the people not the government. First large country that was built from the ground up upon the people and not a ruling class. We have been loosing that idea for years.
Well said brother. That is The Best breakdown yet on this topic. Drop. The. Mic.
We have to start equating the flag to America as it was founded and stop seeing it wrapped around our dysfunctional government that’s becoming more tyrannical everyday with the help of the media, big tech and the useful idiots who want America destroyed.
Well spoke.
@@deanf7086 The flag represents the federal government, the USA, but also represents America. The government cannot be divorced from the flag just because you don’t like them.
@@baeseulgi1742 We’ll just have to agree to disagree. How about that?
"burn our heritage"=tearing down the statues of our forefathers
Well our forefathers were pieces of shit that continued oppression for the BIPOC community especially native americans just saying.
Exactly!
I think what going on Cartier is your just not up on politics in America. The mental illness line is stating everyone's losing their minds now and it doesn't matter which political party your with they are all nuts. MAD TRUTH TO THAT.
Yup spot on, I’ve watched enough of their videos to see that their just simply not up to speed on politics and the culture war going on in society right now
Same
💯🎯
Heritage is something that gets passed on from generation to generation. So the soldiers fought so that You may have freedom. I say you, because I'm UK. I still get what he's saying. I saw the riots that went on last year, and I felt exactly what Tom is saying in this song. The UK is also a melting pot of culture. If you ask me, I'd say the UK history is worse than Americas. How we created the British Empire, then moved to America to steal the land there. Americans used to be British, until independance. History is there so humans don't make the same mistakes. I believe Tom is saying hate the government, not the country. We have a saying over here. "Don't shit on your doorstep". Basically don't disrespect your home. Anyway soldiers die for our freedoms, so we should pay homage to them. BLM was paying homage to criminals resisting arrest. Defunding police means more criminals can commit crime without police interference. Who would back that, except criminals.
BLM was a reactionary movement, not a radical one. And like all movements its enemies will tempt them into defacing their message with violence.
@@gabrielonofrei6154 It's not reactionary, it's fabricated. The media fabricates white on black stories, and people fall for the narrative. The fact that people are pointing to the past, talking about slavery, instead of being happy that its a problem America overcame, and moved past is crazy.
They want a reactionary white identitarian movement to bring the global war on terror home. But most in the BLM movement joined in as a reaction to learned and real trauma.
@@gabrielonofrei6154 Even if it is a reactionary movement, it's one that isn't actually attempting to solve the problems it formed in reaction to. Murder rates have increased with BLM presence in minority communities of all ethnic backgrounds. Meanwhile all those official BLM Marxists are going around buying multiple houses in high class neighborhood.
@@FigFirearms Well said
No one that I’ve seen yet had spoken on the line about “we don’t want anyone dead, so please do not tread on me.” The “Do Not Tread On Me” flag/logo was from the American Revolution and it exist still today as a way of saying, “anyone (government or not) treads on my freedom/liberties will be met with self-defense.” He’s saying we want to live in peace but if you come around me trying to take my life or freedom away or change it I will fight back and people will probably die.” It’s heavily supported by the 2nd Amendment. I live Tom’s reference of this logo! I’m from Texas and it’s a way of life for many people here.
The problem is that we've allowed generations of treading to occur because we would rather be comfortable than free.
"Trying to burn the heritage" he meant people working their hardest to destroy the things that this country was built on. The first, second, third, and fourth amendments, there are many people working towards defeating the bill of rights. We are all free, and people have fought and died to ensure that we all have those rights. If we give those up we will be ruled by the elites, and that will not end well. We are human and we need to be able to speak against the rulers, if we can't then everyone who died for our freedom has died in vain! HOG family for life, stay up, stay strong, and stay healthy! Hangover gang will always be here!
Yep, not just statues, but the Declaration, the Constitution, the Amendments, the Idea that the nation is We The People, not the Government!
Hes from Canada, his visa for the us came in about 9 months into his sober journey living at his moms and dealing with major anxiety and depression. That is why he loves america so much because it literally made him the star that he is.
Yes he's from Canada.. and thus understands the beauty of American freedom
No lol he came because NOVA called him and told him to come check out LA. He went there and the rest is history. He’s talked about who got him to the US and it was Nova
Wrong. Someone jealous as f
We're not concerned with white struggle. Compare anxiety and depression to poverty and hunger and then ask yourself what your problem is
@@2shy__606 In most cases those struggles are one in the same. Homelessness and mental illness go together better than chocolate and peanutbutter
I’m pretty sure the dude in the white shirt saw this with y’all Sunday night lol. Come on guys don’t delete the video and make a new reaction like it’s y’all’s first time watching it. I rather y’all keep it honest and real like y’all did Sunday night. This is America, you are not always going to please everybody on every video or in anything in life. That’s why we watch y’all for y’all’s honest reaction. After seeing the first reaction Sunday night y’all let me down by deleting the video because y’all made people unhappy by what y’all said. Even if we don’t agree with y’all’s reaction, I will always respect honesty over fake.
💯
What did they say?
American heritage is our culture, traditions. All the things that got us to be the only superpower in the world.
Nah that was central banking and world wars
Pffffttt
We the people are self governing.. and thus the government. The problem is the government today has grown so flipping big they have assumed control over the people who were meant to self govern. Our Constitution is actually important.
You guys are doing exactly what I think Tom is trying to spark. You are trying to understand someones perspective and you are conversing about it. This is what America is lacking. I disagree with some of your views but I love that you talk about your views because it helps me understand why you believe what you believe. "Lets just have the conversation".
Thanks guys!
The respect for the flag is something all should believe. It isn't only about the military, it is about EVERYONE who sacrificed for the development and protection of the USA and it's citizens.
I mean everyone, starting from day 1, immigrants. slaves, etc... Give credit to those it belongs to and RESPECT them and the flag they sacrificed for.
How people do not get offended by these people desecrating the Stars and Stripes seriously eludes me.
You need to research that Soldier that told him it was ok to kneel instead of sit. That was taken out of context. No soldier would ever approve of kneel during the National Anthem.
Essential Meaning of heritage
: the traditions, achievements, beliefs, etc., that are part of the history of a group or nation
Like wearing a huge Homecoming mum to school if you’re from Texas..it’s part of our little heritage
I generally enjoy y'all's reactions. But here's the deal. This video highlights the difference between the education I received 50 years ago and the lack of education y'all are getting. We Americans used to have a common frame of reference regarding our history. While we, your elders, weren't payng attention, the marxists came in and erased or distorted our past. They made it harder for you to read and then narrowed the subjects you were allowed to explore. If you knew the history of our people as they settled here and moved west, you'd have more pride in your country and the accomplishments of our people. And no, I'm not black. I'm an American, just like you.
So I graduated HS in 95...190 college credits...mostly means shit to understand Tom...sons of liberty academy or greatest truth never told, both produced by Chris Duane...that is about 50hrs of video needed to understand Tom, and a healthy dose of current events
Sped
I sometimes enjoy their reactions but, overall they are clueless on politics and the messages in Tom’s songs so, I unsubscribed and just pop in from time to time. Definitely indoctrinated! Would love to know what college they are all graduating from this Spring obviously a liberal college and in a Blue State !
@@vickyneumann362 you said uneducated on politics and support tom LMFAO
@@vickyneumann362 shoutout to all the staright white maaaaaaales who face oppression everyday because trans people exist :(((((((((((
"What's causing the mental illness "? Easy, politics, media and the internet.
The fact that people can decide whether the flag is important to them or not shows the freedoms of America. Some countries would not allow that disrespect. The kneeling wasn't so much the flag, it was during the anthem. The anthem is in remembrance of the men and women who died.
Here you can hate your country and criticize every aspect of if and you get nothing. In some countries you'd be jailed, maybe even killed for it.
A country doesn't have to be perfect. It's loving your country enough to fight for it. There's many reasons I don't agree with the BLM movement. But I believe if they were protesting in a way that does not degrading the country but that actually has to do with what they're protesting, I never would have become angry over it. The police are not the country. Our country is the constitution. Our country are the men and women who die for us to stay free and safe in this country. ❤🤍💙
Very true!
Cops literally kill EVERY race! Putting a color in front of it shows your racism!
It should've been "lives matter"
@@Kino_Akir if you place all cops in the same category as bad cops, you’re doing exactly what you’re taking a stand against.
Defund the police? Really? It’s the dumbest thing.
Make them accountable. Everybody should be accountable for their own behavior. It’s not that hard to abide by the code of conduct. And if you don’t abide, don’t fight it when you’re busted. (‘You, you’re, your’ in the collective sense). Anyhow. Hope your day goes well. Be kind. Smile at someone you wouldn’t usually smile at. Let the hate go.
@@sunnidey7963 I believe you misinterpreted his comment...
@@Amy-91 Lmao! He definitely did
If BLM wasn't pushing Marxism and backed by corrupt global corporations they would have never gotten on TV.
What's worse is that the "heroes" they choose are absolute scumbags while they ignore genuine good people being treated badly.
Black lives absolutely do matter, but BLM is a smoke screen for pushing communism and slavery on all of us.
Most Tom Macdonald fans are fair minded, as long as the criticism is fair, most realize not everyone is going to have the same experiences or opinions. Everyone should be able to voice their opinions and have open discussions without bullying and canceling.
This
But there critique wasn't about the song, cool if they didn't like it, that's their right. But their critiques were all about Tom, personal attacks, what's RIGHT ABOUT THAT, NOTHING. THEY OWE TOM AN APOLOGY, they gonna get likes for someones 🎵 they're dogging on personally, wow🙃🤔🇺🇸🇺🇸

Heritage.
American values that's enshrined in the constitution. Plus our history. Both good and bad.
Police brutality happens to everyone black white Asian Hispanic. The way to avoid act like you have brains and treat cops with respect and like people don't fight with them or argue or make it a race issue.
And they still gon shoot you for reaching for your id maybe not all of them but it happens so much to them
Agreed, but we also have a loss in accountability of police.
*KNOWINGLY* allowing kids in Parkland to be murdered doesn't get you jail, but rather returned to duty with full pension.
*INTENTIONALLY* murdering a pest control guy in a hotel doesn't get you thrown in jail, only relocated to another department.
*INTENTIONALLY* using civilians as a bullet shield on the highway in Miami doesn't get any investigation.
*KNOWINGLY* violating the constitution with gun seizures and civil asset forfeiture gets you praised.
*KNOWINGLY* enforcing "unofficial" quotas instead of just making sure people's rights are protected.
We need police, but we need them to be accountable to actually "SERVE AND PROTECT".
Funny thing, they are *NOT* legally required to serve nor protect.
People need to watch the you tube video about the American Flag to really understand why the American Flag is so important to Americans
When he's talking about "burning the heritage", to me it means all the people trying to cover up all the bad stuff from history that they don't like, which isn't going to help anyone learn from the mistakes of history and grow going forward.
But what he actually means I'm not forsure either.
Yes but military people when they died they get buried with that flag over them covering the coffin then it's folded and given to one of their loved ones
You young men are willing to put yourselves out there and speak from your heart. I respect you for that. If more people in this country both spoke freely and let others speak freely then this place could heal from its mistakes more quickly and more completely . Mutual Respect is the most important piece of open communication. Great Video Guys!
No disrespect everyone is entitled to their opinions 💯
However a lot of people died for the flag. Look up the real meaning of the national anthem. People literally died so the flag wouldn't fall. Otherwise I enjoy watching you guys.
Would be really cool to see a reaction to that video!

EXACTLY BROMINA
Vets: I fought for your freedom, kneel, stand, do jumping jacks.... welcome to America. I stand beside you guys
Don't drink the Media Kool-Aid kids 🚱
None of you finished high school? Lol Heritage is where you come from.
Homeboy said he would rather go AWOL than represent his country, lost all my respect
With the military brass going woke and pushing Marxism, I have a hard time respecting anyone that stays in the military.
There's no respect earned by being the pawn of Marxists.
@@EngNerdGMN exactly... Its changing...
You did not hear not one of them say they fight for their Country so guess they rather take the three months of prison the rest of them??,
Right, what he doesn't realize is, whether he is overseas or in prison, he's still at risk of dying and at least overseas he can fight for our country, in prison he would be fighting just to stay alive or to not get bent over by someone bigger, and in the end after coming home from war he would have everyone's respect but coming home from prison, just disgrace
A soldier never started a war. He does not have that power. The flag represents your country and people thereof. An identifier just like any country flag.
America's heritage is freedom.
HOG FAM is in the building! 💪😎
Soldiers died for that flag way before the current pointless wars going on, if the confederacy won the civil war we wouldn’t have gotten to keep our flag, WE1 WW2 revolutionary... the flag represents all of the people who fought through those til now
If anyone can become a cop then why don't we have an abundance of them? Is it because alot of people don't want to put their lives on the line (especially nowadays?)
These boys should of left well enough alone, they're just digging their personal attacks on Tom's, not the song Tom, they have lied about the first reaction thinking we all forgot the disgusting things they said about Tom. And to say right here in there reaction title, that first time Brandon hearing, WTF he was the worst of all with silo, unbelievable..🤮
@@marywicker1878 wish I had seen it. These guys have no interest in Tom as a musician or in his political messages are above their heads. They do Tom reactions purely for Clout Chasing to get more views to get more $$ in their utube checks that they get. I unsubscribed long ago as they are clueless, liberals, indoctrinated, clout chasing on every Tom videos that are released. Fake as hell always don’t even finish the videos.A couple of them both ignorant & pompous both
That veteran didn't die. Maybe Colin should ask the men and women who died if they thought it was disrespectful. Oooh wait.
I think a lot of people miss the point with Colin. He is fine to kneel but actions have consequences. You can’t do an action and then get mad about the consequences. He also knelt at work during his job. Period. Freedom of speech deals with what the government can and can’t do, not what a private organization can say about your political speech at work. Lastly, the flag represents the people and the country founded by the people. The people that bled and died for the people. Just because you can do something (kneel) doesn’t mean you should.
In all honesty I don't think it's that people are missing what Colin is trying to do and say it's that he went about protesting his issues in the wrong way. First off he did it on his company's dime which is not okay if they're not aware that something like that's going to happen knowing it might have some thing to do with some kind of a protest. It's almost just like the black lives matter organization calling its movement in those words because it makes it sound as though other races and other people don't matter because they're not being included in the title. It should have been called black lives matter too and that would have stomped out all of this confusion
Your parents/grand parents fought for more than just their families. Even if they didn’t realize it. Our flag isn’t what’s special it’s what it represents. Kneeling is disrespectful because they have many who did die and fought for our country AND their families. We should forever honor them.
“You can hate the government and still love the country”
Yes, the government and the country are two different things. The country is *the people* not the government. That’s why the first words in the Constitution are “We the People”
This is Grandma from Texas again 😳. Do this simple exercise. Say the Pledge if Allegiance while saluting the flag. Do the same through the National anthem. It is pretty simple to decipher who Kapernick was disrespecting. At the end of the day it is YOU he has disrespected it is US. UNITED we STAND. Keep the videos coming y’all. I’m loving this 😉👍🇺🇸
It didn't seem like these reactors were familiar with US history, the true stories behind what Tom was saying. It's sorta like when a comedian tells a joke and some people don't get the punchline because they didn't understand the context. This seems to be the result of our "education" system that doesn't teach civics or history anymore like it once did. The end result is people not knowing about their own history, the good, the bad, and the ugly. JMHO.
No one should be giving you a hard time for your opinions whether they agree or disagree w you. That's the freedom we all should have. Interesting discussion regarding some very important issues gentlemen, thank you for posting!
Tom McDonalds lyrics and message is so sophisticated and ahead of everybody else these dudes can’t even explain the song at all. These dudes should stick to mumble rap.
As a mother of sons in the military please do everyone.a favor and don't ever join with your immature mindset... with the exception of the young man sitting in the center. God bless you all.
Okay, I hope I can translate everything running through my head correctly for you guys. Because I love to watch y’all’s reactions to music. I can tell you’re passionate people from watching your videos. So I’m hoping what I’m trying to say comes across the way I want.
The flag is all of us. America as a whole. WE are the flag. When he’s talking about soldiers dying for the flag, he’s saying that soldiers have died for all of us. To keep our country and our freedoms alive and safe from enemies foreign and domestic.
All of our enemies would love to watch us (i.e. our citizens AND our flag) and our freedom burn. Our soldiers go to wars to protect us and our freedoms from those people. Without our soldiers, our rights, and our freedoms; the last FREE country in the world, would disappear.
He’s not saying that we think the flag is the soldiers. Not at all. Our Military is our country’s bodyguards. Without the people who fight and die for our country, we wouldn’t be living life freely.
At this time, our country doesn’t draft our Military members; which means that everyone in the Military, at this point in time, is there willingly because they love our country and want to defend it from whatever is needed with whatever means necessary.
I’ve had many family members in the Military, so I back our Military and our Police and if I ever see someone disrespect our flag right in front of me, you’ll see my brand of crazy surface. Just because you have the right to do something, it doesn’t mean you should do it. Show some respect for the soldiers that have died for that right you want to exercise, you know?
I appreciate you guys being real. So many channels just say they agree with whatever the artist says to get views. Keep it up!
So I don’t agree with taking a knee for our flag BUT he has a RIGHT to do so because he is FREE. That’s what our soldiers fought for. They fought for us to be free. You can do whatever you want. Some people will like it, some won’t. Either way you can do it and that’s the whole point of freedom.
Tom is the bomb! He speaks the truth. 💣💣👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️
Tom is talking about the American heritage going back to the Civil War
We are erasing our history, and it aint gonna go away.
Tom is from Edmonton Alberta Canada. Edmonton the city and Alberta is the province. Then Tom spent some years in Vancouver BC Canada then moved to LA.
Our heritage is our shared history, both the good and the bad. Also, when dude took his mask off, that may have been the greatest smile I've ever seen. Well done.
It really was, he should never cover his face because his smile makes others smile 😁😁😁😁

Brandon was so disrespectful, dogging on Tom's character, don't like the song cool, disrespecting Tom, and on this reaction they have told a lot of lie's about the first one, 1.3 thousand of us saw it, they are lying now about this being Brendan's first time, wow🤮
Awww man. I really respect your interpretation and insight of Tom’s vids, but this time you were off. I feel that you stepped off your beliefs so for that I’m disappointed. This is a side that I don’t agree with you all. Still much love for the Fam but disagreement this time…big time.
Heather, I agree.
We can all disagree but it should be pointed out what the issue is/was.
I had to flee my homeland as a kid to be ALIVE today- Believe me AMERICA is the best Country and the FLAG is very important as is the culture and everything it offers. I would be dead today as a 47 yrs old man had this Country not allowed me to come here LAGALLY. God Bless all of you
He’s from Canada but speaks the truth more about what’s going on then us Americans I’m a huge fan of him and always will be he speaks facts and the truth the ones that get ass hurt bout him are the real prob anymore
Love this. Love y’all doing these Tom reaction videos. It’s needed and y’all are amazing for standing up and doing it. I cry watching yalls reactions bc it’s just amazing to finally see other people liking Tom. Everyone has their own opinion and is entitled to it and I just gotta say i love yalls opinions and views!!
Your right, cops do need a raise because they're the people that run into danger to save people's lives while everyone else is running away waiting for someone to help save them. Not all cops are bad. Those are the people saving us when we need help.
I'm just gonna say it. Tom came from Canada to America and is EMBRACING the country instead of exploiting it like others.
you can love America and be conscious of its problems
Here for some Cartier Fam love and some Tom time !!!! Keep doing a dope job boys! I love your content
I'm all for people speaking up for what they believe in, but as far as the NFL goes they need to do that sh*t at halftime not during the National anthem. Start interrupting their corporate sponsors instead maybe...🤷
WHAAAT? You want these people to disrupt the sacred corporations?
But then how will those corporations buy up politicians and push Marxism to make us all slaves?
Imagine thinking that we shouldn't be slaves to Apple, Google, and Pfizer... Madness.
Not just kneeling for the the flag. Kneeling for the anthem. As a reminder, the anthem is directly talking about the fight for freedom by the soldiers. That’s why so many people don’t like the kneeling. It IS a direct slap in the face of those brave people who sacrificed for this country. Judge for yourself. Here are the lyrics:
Say, can you see
By the dawn's eaely light
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched,
Were so gallantly, yeah streaming?
And the rocket's red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave prooof through the night
That our flag was still there
Oh say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and at the home of the brave
As a current active duty I will accept standing or kneeling because that’s the whole point of why we became Americans in the first place, a true soldier will not tear you down for you expressing your freedom. But the flag is more of a representation of the soldiers to most because we used that as our symbol for the world to recognize us. If you want you can react to this video and see why so many see the flag as a representation of our soldiers strength more than just the country itself. It took all of the soldiers sacrifices to make this flag recognizable to the world. Their spilt blood made it as powerful as it is now. Good video guys, made me laugh! ruclips.net/video/YaxGNQE5ZLA/видео.html
I fw yall heavy! It ain’t just the military Hes saying you can hate the corruption in the government but still love the freedom we have! We are all blessed to be Americans.
Tom is the immigrant we want Tom is an American and Tom even though he is from Canada and Canada ain't the worst but they still don't have the freedoms we do he understands oppression tad bit better than most of us Americans Tom's American and that's that
America is not perfect but we are truly blessed here and should be thankful 🇺🇸
America is "we the people." The government is to serve "we the people." IMO
The heritage is about not forgetting where you come from. You need to know and understand the good and the bad. Learn from the bad and make sure it does not come back.
Heritage- about this song, we have an ugly past here in this country, but you can’t get rid of it. Accept it happen and learn from it. Don’t try to bury it from this existent.
As far as hating the government and still loving the country. The fact that if the government is to work for the people. They represent us. We should vote those out that need to be voted out. We need to stand for their bs. We have the right to stand up for a tyrannical government.
As far as the flag for me and the national anthem. As a veteran, I don’t care to kneel or stand. You have that right. I won’t be a hypocrite on the topic, but I will always stand. I remind myself just as the lyrics “And the rocket's red glare
The bombs bursting in the air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there” that no matter the outcome or how bad it gets, we as Americans still stand proud and will always bounce back/ still around tall; I wish people would break down the lyrics of the anthem-like they do these videos.
What I love about Tom is how he gives a point of View from the outside if you think about it. Yes he is an American Citizen, But before that he was Canadian . This shows the view outside of the country and he is 1000% right! #hoggang
I wish I could hang out with you guys. You all seem like some fun people to chill with. Love your energy.
When we were a child, we thought like a child, and we acted like a child. As we grew up ...we made mistakes. But, we learned from our mistakes, faced them, made changes, and grew up. America is still young. It's made mistakes, but it's been changing, addressing mistakes, facing them, and learning. We didn't grow up over night. Neither does America. I don't stop loving, and start hating and putting down my children as they grow up and make mistakes. We shouldn't treat America like a hardened stone-cold criminal. Just my opinion.
I understand "why" people kneel, I just disagree about 'when' they kneel. It is disrespecting the flag and the country it represents, because of being angry at the system. The flag doesn't represent the system, it represents the people ...all the people, We the People. I am angry at "it - the system-government" too. My husband's coffin was draped with that flag, he died defending that flag (10-3-93 Mogadishu). By all means kneel ....AFTER the anthem. I will kneel with you because my husband died so you have the freedom to kneel. My son, currently serving in the Navy is putting his life on the line for that freedom. Stop the game for a minute, not the respect. The game can't commence if the players and fans kneel. But when I see people kneeling, or turning their backs on the flag, that hurts my heart. Just like my heart hurts when I see my fellow Americans being oppressed or disenfranchised. That flag ...and what it stands for, and us coming together is the ONLY power we have, besides God, that can really address those issues.
"I won't kneel for the anthem, because the flag is what I'm standing for. You can hate the government and still love the country." #HangOverGang #TomMacDonald #America
What an awesome way to put it! 👏
He was born in Canada, but this dude is a true American! More American than most of you.
Kapernick took a knee to say america is racist. America is the least racist. Ppl dislike him not because he kneeled. But because they DO NOT think America is racist. Cops need more training and more funding and that is the opposite of what Kapernick was saying.
The problem isn’t kneeling, burning or protesting of the flag. The problem is doing it and not fully understanding what it costs to have the right to do so.
“The cost of a burned flag is a folded one”
Not fought for this nation... FALLEN for this nation.
The Flag represents WE THE PEOPLE. The military protects us and our freedoms from threats
Tom is saying that its disrespectful to take a knee during the National Anthem. The song was wrote about the men that died holding up the flag of freedom while being bombarded by cannon fire .The British could not believe that our flag was still standing by the Dawn's early light..but it was because the brave Patriots that died one after another holding it up in place...please RESEARCH. Frances scott key witnessed it and wrote our National Anthem.
I think this was inspired by the 13 military men and women who were MURDERED in Afghanistan.
The government is about the elites… not us! We are definitely separate… rules for thee, not for me!
Veterans did fight for and die for the flag. The flag represents *everyone* in America.
Fellas take it from me. As a correctional officer don’t go to prison. Take ya chances at war. Another great video. Glad to see Louisiana represented so well. God bless y’all
Yall just keep being real. Don't let fanatical fans keep you from disagreeing legitimately. Tom and his real fans appreciate free thought. Don't confirm, you guys are younger than his main demo so speak from your perspective.
You didn't have to redo your reactions. It's ok not to agree with everything Tom says. I don't. I know by your other reactions to Tom that you rock with him.
You guys should check out some Thomas Sowell
12:55 No, he’s not saying the flag is about the soldiers, he’s saying soldiers died for what the flag represents, and that’s the freedom of everyone in America.
You’re free to openly love or hate America and that’s what makes this country so great. People in other countries don’t have that freedom of expression. That’s why you should love and cherish it.
When he says burn the heritage he’s talking about our foundation. The inherent right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Nowadays the youth is taught to hate this country, its founding principles and its constitution.
They’re only taught to focus on the negative. America is the best country on earth.
Wait until you have a child...to keep them living in a free country you would fight. No soldier would EVER tell anyone to kneel for the flag or the anthem. Y'all need to go lusten to Candace Owens.
What up lads your reactions are class big shout out from 🇮🇪 🤘
You need your buddy to watch Brainwashed and then this song may make more sense.
LOL I love you guys, y'alls reaction videos always crack me up. XOXO
There is a bad azz documentary. Like a 8 movie series. D day. True story. This will shed light on what America he talking about.
My whole family are Veterans. They don’t kneel for the flag but they all said whoever kneels you’re free to do so. This is a free country
NFL players represent their team and city, so what they say and do matters. Also, you shouldn't be protesting while at work, in uniform, and on the clock. That is totally unprofessional. There is a time and place for everything. Go to your job and start protesting when you are on the clock, see how that works out. LoL. Also, don't protest the flag when the team you play for receives money from the military. Just stupid!
I really respect your guys opinion and time you took to explain the video as well as your point of view.
One thing I took away that I wanted to say. The flag isn't JUST about our soldiers it is about our country. It's about the blood that was spilt to make America what it became. The government today SUCKS!! But at the end of the day it's WE THE PEOPLE who have to come together to change it. That's what our founding fathers sought after. Until we all come together and unify, we will continue to be ruled. Even if you don't agree with the war, it's what keeps us free as well as to help other people. That is what Tom is trying to get people to understand.
There are plenty of ways to go about standing against police brutality, but what does kneeling do? Besides piss off patriots. Especially someone with enough money to go about making a change.
Why aren't people striving to have qualifications to become a police officer harder? Why not fight for yearly screenings for Officers to make sure they are still fit to be on duty? SO MUCH RESPECT when I heard y'all say "I don't think they should defund the police just make it harder" THAT is something everyone should/could agree on.
There are so many different things Kaepernick could have done to "Protest" and the people who are pissed about it, know that. And they're also the strong believers of "You can hate the government and still love the country."
America today makes it so people don't have to be drafted into war. So that it is a freedom to choose to go and not be forced.
Such a good video by Tom.
Much love guys 🤍🤍🇺🇸

The flag stands for We the People, not We the Government, if the flag falls We the People fall. Remember, if the people fear the government it's tyranny, but if the government fears the people it's liberty! 🇺🇸
The American flag represents the ideas that the founding fathers had… they didn’t practice what they preached at the time and we shouldn’t make any excuses for that… at least half of the founding fathers were opposed to slavery but they couldn’t do anything about it at the time and some of them even had slaves. These were people who can make mistakes. Their ideas helped us to get where we are today and we fought a war against each other where millions died to stop that practice. We all need to work together as equals to make the country better and to keep it the best country in the world.
"They gonna put you on a tank boy!" That whole bit there was hilarious
