Hate to be the "well actually guy," but that picture is White Man Runs Him.

On this episode Joe is joined by Justin Rose. Justin is a Marine and US Army Veteran and host of the Everything is Awful Podcast to talk about the dangers of Historical Revisionism and the bastardization of facts in the name of politics. PragerU manages to do all of these things in Youtube videos that last less than 5 minutes.
