Get Off My Lawn #73 | POTUS vs. Hova
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
David with the SARS door.
Yeah, that's a double-N-A.
ALSA.
Familiar.
Get off my lawn with Kevin McKinnis.
Lawn up my.
Ugh.
That was Itian Sin.
It's an African-American gentleman screaming about trying to seduce a young lady.
He wants to get her on the mattress, and she's not having it, unfortunately.
She doesn't trust him.
I don't know why.
And the chorus of that song, I don't think we can say on this show, but it's I'm That Nigga.
Let's have a little listen to it as I get unpacked here.
Okay.
Well, actually, keep playing it behind me.
You know, when I was young, wait, you gotta hear the chorus.
Let's play the chorus.
You just said you wanted to get her on the mattress.
I'm one of a kind, girl.
You can't find nobody else like me, yeah.
You won't out of your mind, girl.
Because I'm a bad nigga.
I'm a bad nigga.
I'm one of a kind, girl.
You know, when I was a young man, my dad said, how can you listen to that crap?
I thought, when I'm a dad, I'm not going to say that because I like punk and rap and all kinds of music.
I have an incredibly wide spectrum.
My dad doesn't even know anything beyond the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
And now here I am as a dad going, how can you listen to that crap?
How can you listen to that annoying voice?
It sounds like that annoying date that Seinfeld had that she played the same character, I think, on Friends.
I mean, you're an annoying broad.
And you're singing about banging white chicks.
Awesome.
Speaking of banging white chicks, we had the Grammys last night.
Worst rated Grammys ever.
I think it's their 60th anniversary.
And people are just sick of this.
They're sick of you.
They're sick of Hollywood and entertainment, your crappy brand.
Sabo put up some posters that, Dave, you should just put up the posters when I'm talking about the Grammys.
Like, I want this show to always have the background exciting stuff going on, not just our logo.
And don't cut this, me chastising you out of this show.
But yeah.
It's funny, I did exactly that.
Sabo, no, you didn't.
The second I mentioned the Grammys, start showing stuff.
So Sabo put up these posters, and I was shocked that Miley and Gaga had posed for such disgusting pornographic shots.
Now, Gaga's, I can't believe I'm calling her Gaga.
Lady Gaga's wasn't that bad.
It's pretty bad, though.
But then check out Miley Cyrus.
I'd never seen this before.
It's not photoshopped.
She posed blowing a policeman's nightstick, totally naked, vagina, boobs, all.
And he put those out.
It's a Hollywood reporter is censoring them there, but he didn't censor them.
And the point is, we're done with you proselytizing about sexual harassment and how your chastity is at risk when you've been selling yourself as a whore and encouraging whoredom for a very long time.
There's something weird going on here, and it kind of relates to this thing.
I was watching TV the other night, and I couldn't help but notice every commercial, the black guy looked like someone that was either in a relationship with a white girl or it was someone that you wanted, that looked bangable.
Like you wanted to have sex with this guy.
He's a cool dude.
And then the white guys were always sort of fumbling and they had trouble with stuff and everyone was rolling their eyes.
There seems to be this real culture out there to sabotage relationships.
And that can mean some black guy comes in and takes your girl away or you voluntarily offer her up as a cuckold.
And this is a trend that's not just in music and it's not just in TVs and movies, television shows.
But I've noticed articles, journalists pushing it.
And not just once or twice.
Look at all these.
When the new girlfriend has a cuckolding past, what to think, what to do.
Cuckholding, the sex fetish for intellectuals.
That there sums it up perfectly, the Daily Beast.
How I told my husband and boyfriend I'm dating another man.
Wonderful.
Why and how I've cheated on every person I've ever dated.
You know, people ask me sometimes, they say, could you be friends, if you got divorced, could you be friends with your wife's new husband?
And I always say, why would I be friends with someone at the bottom of the East River?
What am I going to do?
Put on some scuba gear?
Go down there and talk to him?
I'm not going to be friends with the dead man.
But here, like the same articles that say, we need refugees, we need more people, our population can't sustain it.
The same people then write an article saying, don't have babies, you're overpopulating.
There's a real strange push going on to discourage normal relationships.
And I think it's because they're the product of divorce and they just, they're so traumatized by the divorce that happened with their parents that they want everyone else to experience their misery.
We've gone from trying to help people to willfully trying to sabotage their lives.
And that includes the relationships.
Eight reasons why you should rethink your stance on cheating.
Keep going.
A guide to cuckolding, the fetish where you enjoy watching your partner have sex with someone else.
If you enjoy watching your partner have sex with someone else, you're a deranged, sad loser.
And by the way, a lot of that has to do with porn.
You've been watching so much pornography that it's polluted your mind.
What if cheating actually made your relationship better?
And by the way, I remember all this stuff from being a young man and I talked to polyamorous couples that have an open relationship.
It never works.
When you hear about these people with these deranged ideas, check back in with them in three months and they're broken up, I guarantee it.
Anyway, disgusting degenerates everywhere, all over the Grammys.
The jig is up with entertainment in Hollywood.
We know that you're not special.
We know you're fucking losers in every sense of the word.
But Joy Villa showed up with a great dress.
Joy Villa's persona non grata with most of my friends in the right because of Scientology.
I had her on the show.
We asked her all these questions.
She's still in my good books.
And as I said about Milo, if he's doing a prank, it's like if you worked at McDonald's as a prank and you weren't sincere.
You're still flipping burgers.
She's got a choose life thing on with a fetus on her dress.
She's still promoting pro-life sentiment.
I ain't mad at it.
Come on aboard.
Now, if she goes, ha ha, it was all Scientology.
We'll go, oh, well, at least you promoted Trump on your dress and promoted pro-life.
I'm still happy with her.
I still talk to her all the time.
But here's one of the strangest parts.
So they did a bizarre promo that had James Corbin, who will go to the opening of an envelope, and he'll host your son's brisk.
So they had DJ Khaled come out and try to promote this book, Fire and Fury.
So I guess this is sort of music because DJ Khaled is a DJ.
But check this out.
Yes, it's DJ Kevin.
Matter of fact, this is the best spoken word album in the game.
I'm finally gonna win my Grammy.
So this is gonna work next?
It's not gonna work, everything I do works.
Stand by.
Take one.
He had a longtime fear of being poisoned.
One reason why he liked to eat it with Donalds.
Nobody knew he was coming, and the food was safely premium.
That's it.
We've got it.
That's the one.
You think so?
Oh, yeah.
The Grammy's in the bag?
In the back.
How pathetic.
Hillary, you lost.
You had a huge lead.
You had the Democrats on your side.
You had the black vote.
You had the woman vote.
And you were so bad that you glued America's female population to the couch.
Their big fat asses stayed on the couch because you suck so bad.
But yeah, President Trump likes McDonald's.
And by the way, that's not how you ingratiate yourself with America.
You denigrate those who love fast food.
Yeah, what a bunch of peons.
Ooh, ooh, the lower classes enjoy McDonald's.
Let them eat cake.
All right, that's enough for the Grammys.
I didn't watch it.
No one cares.
Front page of the post, the 60th annual Grammys stars sizzle on the red carpet.
And then you look at Lady Gaga and you look at Sabo's poster and you just see through the facade.
We also, on the front page, we have POTUS versus Hova.
Trump Jay trade barbs over it hole.
And so Jay-Z was offended that Trump criticized Haiti.
Meanwhile, Jay-Z wouldn't last a minute in the real Haiti outside of a resort.
He has no interest in it whatsoever.
It's all just posturing.
But this is why Trump responded to Jay-Z.
Do you know why?
To humiliate Eminem.
And he did.
He's going to give Eminem a nervous breakdown.
Because Eminem said, I feel like he's ignoring me.
I feel like I don't matter to him.
And then you go, well, I guess he's not responding to rappers.
No, he'll respond to a rapper, Eminem.
He'll respond to Jay-Z.
So what was interesting about this is, so he said Jay-Z was bitching about Trump, and Trump said, isn't black unemployment at the lowest it's ever been?
And Jay-Z had the world's worst rebuttal to that.
He said, it's not about money at the end of the day.
Money is not, money doesn't equate to happiness.
It doesn't.
That's missing the whole point.
You treat people like human beings then.
That's the main point.
That's Jay-Z talking.
This is why Jay-Z doesn't tweet very much.
I think him and Beyoncé probably have a combined IQ of about 110.
So if they get it out too much, you know, people will see that they're mentally handicapped.
But one, it's not about the money.
Trump didn't say money.
He said employment.
He said black unemployment is at the lowest ever.
And employment is what makes a community.
Employment is what gives a man self-worth.
It's what makes you feel like you're a somebody.
Welfare does the opposite.
Free money bums you out, believe it or not.
Welfare is debilitating.
Check out the res.
You give these Indians a free home, you give these Indians basic sustenance, and they're depressed.
They have no self-worth.
We've evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to define ourselves by our occupation.
When you take that away, we don't derive any pleasure.
We derive pleasure from hard work.
That's biological.
Welfare strips that away, and it denigrates the black male.
However, there's something I want to bring up here, and it's not very fashionable.
Hey, right-wingers, drop the black unemployment thing.
It's not a basket to put our eggs in.
Black unemployment's been plummeting for about four years now.
Do you have that graph, Dave?
I'm sorry, folks.
I know it sounds cool.
And you know what?
If you want to use the left tricks against them, then fine, do that.
But if you look here, 09, maybe around 2011, it peaked and it's been going straight down since then.
So yes, it's been going.
It's the lowest ever, but it's part of a long plummet.
But you know what?
If you want to do that, do that.
I just, I don't like those games.
I don't like playing the left's games.
I tried it for a while, and I tried to get them fired, and I said, you're racist.
You said this racist thing.
When I know they didn't mean it in a racist way.
But it just doesn't feel good.
All right.
What else do we got here?
Oh yeah, Jordan Peterson is having a moment.
Can I, I feel like I'm part of his success.
I was on the Jordan Peterson bandwagon the second it started.
I had him on my old show.
And now he won't appear on my show anymore.
I can't get him to respond to any emails unless he's sending me his book.
I feel a little bit bitter and mostly jealous.
He's doing what I want to do in a much more articulate and intelligent way.
And outside of my own resentment for him not coming on the show, I also feel envy.
This is a sin.
I know you're not supposed to feel that, but I cannot help it.
I am jealous of Jordan Peterson and his success and his accolades and the unbelievable gotchas he's been doing.
But he was on the CBC recently.
So the New York Times had a big thing on him, Jordan Peterson moment, and it was a very fawning expose.
They go, What's most interesting about Peterson's popularity, especially the success of his book, is what it says about the state of young men today.
The implied readers of his work are men who feel fatherless, solitary, floating in a chaotic moral vacuum, constantly outperformed and humiliated by women.
I don't know about outperformed, haunted by pain and self-contempt.
At some level, Peterson is offering assertiveness training to men whom society, oh, don't say whom, is trying to turn into emasculated snowflakes.
Little passive-aggressive compliments there, but it's true.
Jordan Peterson and I are trying to tell young men, you're not human garbage.
I'm sorry you got divorced.
I'm sorry your dad wasn't around, but you don't need to repeat those mistakes.
But anyway, check him out on the CBC here.
He didn't really do, I think, a great job of defending himself.
Well, I don't know.
That's what I find so curious.
That's convenient.
Because I also found this picture of you with behind the Pepe.
Is that you?
I mean, it's you.
I mean, that's an actual photo of you.
You did that?
So this is the Pepe flag, which I'm sure you know is seen by the left as a hate symbol.
Yeah, well, the left sees all sorts of things as hate symbols.
But it's used by the extreme right as a way of spreading messages.
All right, so let's stop it here.
So you can look this up.
But his defense goes on for about five minutes, and he talks about how common this is and how he takes thousands of pictures a day.
And Pepe, yes, it's used by the far right sometimes, but it's also used by trollers just to antagonize people.
Too long, Jordan.
Too long.
Here's what you say when you get that ridiculous accusation.
You say, and leave that up, Dave.
You say, Pepe and this and milk are jokes.
We all sat around around the time of Ishia LaBeouf's He Will Not Divide Us, and we said, we were laughing at how Pepe, a random frog we took from the internet and made into a meme, is outraging the left.
It's on the SPLC's hate list.
We've got Hillary Clinton talking about that damn frog.
And we go, what?
They're mad at a cartoon frog.
And then we said, watch this.
Let's choose this and milk and start doing it a lot and throwing it around.
And they will start saying milk is racist and okay is racist.
We did and it worked.
So it is a troll that is a satirical look.
It's a social experiment to show how easy the left is triggered, how eager they are to have a panic attack.
We could say pens are racist.
Let's take black pens next and make that a thing.
And they'll say, you were pictured with a black pen.
Is that you in the photograph?
They're holding up a black pen.
Now her other allegation is, yes, but the far, far right, Nazis use Pepe and this.
And you go, yeah, maybe they took it on too.
But all cats are dogs.
I mean, sorry, all dogs are mammals.
All cats are mammals.
All dogs are not cats.
In other words, it's junior high logic here.
We learned this in seventh grade.
You putz, you patsy, you gullible dork.
All right, so that's pretty much it.
We've got a fun show for you tonight.
I talked to the hobo hater.
He's a homeless man who's just recently got an apartment.
I had him on my old show a few times.
He's a bum who asked for change in the street.
Actually, he was a bum.
He was a homeless bum for the past few years.
And he's recently become a panhandler where he just berates people on the street and takes their money.
And then at the other end of the intellectual spectrum, we've got Bill Whittle on the show tonight.
And I just want to talk to him about numbers.
He did a video a long time ago called Eat the Rich.
And I've been wanting to have him on the show for a long time.
But it just seems to me one of the biggest problems with the left and young people and their take on we're a nation of immigrants and education and we need more money for this and that is they don't get money.
They don't use cash.
They use credit cards.
They go into debt.
They think a million is about $100,000 and a billion is probably about $200,000.
No, a million's a lot.
Let's get started.
Hey, what's going on, man?
Let's interview you.
How you doing?
I've been doing pretty good.
I finally got an apartment.
Oh, wow.
You're not a hobo anymore.
Not really.
I'm just pretending to be one, basically.
What was your nickname again?
The meanest one?
No, Hater Hobo.
Hater Hobo.
That's what the New York Post calls me.
Right, and let me see your sign here.
I've been watching a bunch of f ⁇ you pay me.
Oh, cool.
Yeah, I had you on my old show.
Yeah, you should have me back.
Oh, wait.
I already am on there.
You should have me back.
Do you find the f ⁇ you pay me works better than the nice thing?
Yes, absolutely.
It makes me stand out, and I make people laugh.
I'm providing them with entertainment.
And there's so many people out here with sob stories like Homeless and Pregnant, Homeless War vet, lost my family on fire, today's my birthday, all that sob story bullshit.
They're invisible.
There's so many of them.
People just walk on, but this grabs people's attention.
And they want to take a photo, but they don't get a photo unless they give me money.
That makes sense.
You said you have an apartment now.
Yeah.
I live in Flatbush, Brooklyn.
So that's not a, you're not a hobo anymore.
No.
What are you?
A panhandler.
You know, a lot of these people out here, flying sons, aren't even homeless.
A lot of, but they're son.
Sign should say, a homeless junkie lives in my mom's basement.
She won't enable my habit.
Anything helps, God bless.
Yeah, I always feel like giving them heroin, saying, sorry, don't get any money.
How about smack?
Oh, they would take it.
I would say 90% of the people out here, vlon sons, or junkies.
Look, I've done a lot of change here.
Oh, thanks, bro.
Good looking out.
Say, I told you it works.
So what episode is this?
I don't know.
We're just filming.
We're going to put a bunch in the can and then just spread them out.
I don't do that show anymore.
I do a new show on CRTV.com called Get Off My Lawn.
Oh, Get Off Mawn.
Okay, I'll look for it on there.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've been watching a shitload of your videos there.
I've been watching that shit religiously.
I really like how you put down like social justice warriors and shit.
Because those people get on my last fucking nerve.
And they're the worst.
Oh, they're the scum of the fucking universe.
I think a lot of them don't even believe the shit they're saying.
Like with a lot of the male feminists, I honestly believe they don't believe the shit they're saying.
They're just trying to get laid.
You know, rapists and murderers, they only want to hurt like that one thing in front of them.
Bank robbers just want to rob that bank.
Social justice warriors want to destroy the entire civilization.
I saw this thing on Australia Day and this woman was saying, I wish Australia would burn to the ground.
And you're like, that's way worse than a murderer.
And, you know, they hate our country.
They love our nation's enemies.
You know, and if you're not in their world, if you're not a homosexual person of color, then you're a piece of shit.
Like, in their mind, there's nothing more evil than a heterosexual white male Christian.
And what they don't realize is heterosexual male Christians are what made the world great.
You know, like, look at who invented everything.
You know, I mean, sure, you know, they got like a handful of people you can point out in history and invent, but who invented the laptop that they're bitching about?
Well, they did do some bad stuff, but they did do everything.
So when you've done everything, you're going to be included in some of the bad lists.
I can't think of anything I agree with them on.
And I was part of a bunch of the different Occupy movements, and they ruined every last one of them.
It turned into like the oppression Olympics, where dude would be like, hey, you're a white man.
Stop oppressing me.
I'm a black man.
Do you know what the black experience is like?
And he's like, well, I'm a homosexual and you're heterosexual.
So you're oppressing me.
You're the oppressor.
Then I want women to come up and be like, you're both men.
I'm a woman.
I'm the oppressed.
And it was just everybody pointing a finger at each other going, stop oppressing me.
Stop oppressing me.
And I remember one time they tried to vote me out when I first got there because they had heard of me and how I'd been to black block protests.
And anyhow, like they voted to have me kicked out of Occupy.
And I'm like, okay, I'll vote with y'all.
Kick me out.
And I'm like, okay, I'm kicked out.
You realize this is a public space, right?
Yeah, what are they going to do?
Yeah, what do you think this is?
Private property.
I'm still going to sit here.
I'm still going to protest the Federal Reserve.
And dude, when you talk to these people about like class war, they know nothing.
I'm like, can you tell me what the IMF is?
Can you tell me what quantitative easing is?
Can you tell me what derivatives are?
Can you tell me what the Federal Reserve is?
Can you tell me anything?
Banks got billed out.
We got sold out.
And they're like, women should make the same money as men.
That's fucking communism.
You know, women work far fewer hours than men.
They get easier jobs in fields that really don't require a lot of intelligence.
I'm sorry, ladies.
Get degrees in like science, engineering, math.
Instead of fucking women's studies or political science, maybe you'll get a better job.
And they get maternity leave.
A lot of them are stay-at-home moms and all this taking an aggregate.
I'm outraged that they make 79 cents on the dollar.
I think it should be a lot less.
What do you notice with homeless women in the homeless community?
Are homeless women more mentally ill, more annoying?
What's the deal with them?
They're mentally ill and they're easy.
You know, all you got to do is give them a few dollars.
They'll suck your.
A lot of them are just trashy, stupid.
Most homeless people are stupid and mentally ill.
Aren't they all just junkies?
For the most part.
What percentage are heroin addicts?
I would say about 90.
And the thing is, is like most of them are such pieces of shit that they're actually from here and don't have a place they could go.
I had an excuse to be in homeless for a while because my family's all in Arkansas.
But if you live, if you're from New York and homeless in New York, you f ⁇ ed up.
Like what?
Your parents don't take you in?
Friend of a friend of a friend?
Yeah, nobody.
And usually the ones that are homeless, the way they found themselves here is they took mom's laptop or mom's flat screen TV and pawned it for smack and then got kicked out of the house.
And they say, I'm not going to enable you.
I love you, but I'm not going to love you to death, as they say, on intervention.
And then they go, okay, I'll just be homeless and I'll get my own smack.
Yeah, pretty much.
And it's not, you know, like I said, a lot of them aren't homeless.
Like, there's this one guy over here.
He has a sign that says, Army vet, need $38 for my dog's medication.
He's been flying that sign for like two years.
And when I walked up to him, I said, oh, you're in the Army?
Oh, that's cool, bro.
I was in the Marine Corps.
What was your graduating class?
And he jumps up, starts shaking on the stock.
He goes, go away from me.
And the dog's going, and I'm like, dude, and I'm just talking to him.
And I said, dude, if you were a service-connected veteran, then the VA will pay for your dog, your service animals' health care.
Stolen Valor.
Oh, my God.
This city is rampant with it.
You know, you walk up to any one of the homeless eds out here, almost all of them are fakes.
I only met a handful that are real.
A lot of them, if they say homeless ed, they'll have their VA card with their sign.
I was in the Marine Corps for a little while, but I don't like to hide behind my service.
And I feel it's an embarrassment to be, you know, a homeless veteran, you know?
So I don't like making people feel sorry for me.
All right, we got to go.
Hey, it's great talking to everybody.
Don't forget.
Yeah, Shag Hater Hobo.
Look forward to seeing this on YouTube.
Bill, are you there?
I'm here.
Bill Whittle, I'm a big fan, have been for a long time.
And, you know, the thing I love about your videos is they're not just sort of like an amusing look at, hey, what do you think of this?
Could it be this?
You unequivocally, unabashedly, and thoroughly explain why this is and back it up with tons of data.
That's because fools rush in, Gavin.
And that's pretty much the only explanation I have for it.
Well, I bookmark them because they're the ultimate argument settlers.
And I'm sorry to go back far here, but your eat the rich video where you break down exactly how much the government spends, I must have sent that to 1,000 people over the years.
First thing I'd like to say about that is that the actual breakdown and the analysis was done by my friend Iowa Hawk, who is maybe the funniest guy on Twitter, but without questions, the most brilliant guy I've ever met.
He's a statistician, so I don't want to say another word without saying that basically it was Iowa Hawk's math that basically did it.
And then I took some of that with his permission, obviously, and extrapolated a little bit.
I certainly put it into kind of a narrative form.
But basically what it comes down to is when you have a government that's spending $3.6 trillion a year, that's $360 billion.
That's essentially $10 billion a day.
And what we basically did in that video is we just looked like, well, if we took everything from ExxonMobil, let's say in Walmart, took all of their profits, all of it, $4 billion.
So you run the federal government for four days by not just soaking these rich companies, just by just taking everything they have.
And you can work your way all the way down the ladder in terms of confiscating all of private individuals' wealth, and you can take all the money from the NFL and Star Wars and all of this.
And you'll run our government for a year, at which point you have to think about what you're going to do for the next year, but there is no next year because you've taken everything.
Yeah, every rich person, everything is gone.
Well, I honestly believe the bigger picture with your video is that there's been a death of math.
And that's a great tool for Marxists because they can just say, we're a nation of immigrants.
And it sounds good.
And I always say to them, I say, how many?
How many are here?
How many can we take?
And they always go, an infinite amount.
And you go, like, with spending on schools, how much should we spend per student?
And they go, more.
And you go, well, how much are we spending now and what's too much?
And I've got them up to like 80 grand a year per student.
Yeah, that's right.
And by the way, on that particular subject, if you were to draw a graph, see if I can do this backwards, of Department of Education spending and test scores, you know, it's pretty straight correlation there, inverse correlation.
Well, I think it's steady.
It's like test scores haven't really budged, and we're up to, you know, 10,000 to 20,000, depending on the state per student.
Those are numbers no one knows.
No, and I think our test scores have plummeted dramatically, certainly with respect to the rest of the world.
The American public education system used to be the envy of the world.
It was a miracle.
People from all around the world, as late as the 60s and even the 70s, would come here to study this miracle.
But that's before the left came along and decided to politicize everything about it.
And from that point forward, it became less about education, more about indoctrination.
And I have to tell you, Gavin, I'm doing some events on college campuses.
But my honest, truthful opinion is that universities, as we understand them, are finished.
They're over.
And they're over in the same way that whalebone corsets are over or wooden wagon wheels are over.
They're over because you don't need them anymore and because they no longer serve the function they were designed to serve.
If you had a Harvard degree, that meant something because the standards to get into Harvard were rigorous and the standards to get out of Harvard were even more rigorous.
But when Harvard becomes just another place where you can get a studies studies degree, then the value of that diploma goes down.
There's a big difference between getting a degree in engineering and getting a degree in engineering studies just to make one up because they're all made up.
To be an engineer, you have to be smart and you have to know math and be pretty bright.
To be an engineering studies major, you've got to be able to talk about engineers.
That's not nearly so hard.
So I think the whole thing's out the window.
I agree.
And I'm a libertarian, and I say to these kids who go into debt, well, you signed a contract.
That's right, you signed a contract.
But cars have a reputation over 100 years where you buy a car and it's understood that it's going to work.
And that's based on the history of the car, really.
You go and if it didn't work, you go, this doesn't work.
Now, university degrees have meant something since Plato, and then all of a sudden, since like 1995, they're totally and utterly worthless.
So I feel like you could make an argument for a class action suit here because fraud has been committed.
Without question, without question, I'm so happy you mentioned that.
I've been saying for years now that the answer to fighting this left-wing bias at school is not to cry and complain and talk about, it's to file fraud, class action suits against universities because you are paying an exorbitant sum of money for your child to be in a geometry class.
And in that geometry class, he's hearing about how evil Donald Trump is.
And that is fraudulently depriving my student of his math classes that I'm paying for.
Yeah, there's an understanding.
Like with food, you know there's not going to be snot in your mashed potatoes.
You didn't sign a contract to say that.
It's just sort of understood over the years of food that you don't put snot in it.
Precisely.
And in the same way that an inside pitch will brush back an aggressive batter, just a couple of these lawsuits are going to knock this entire university system back on its heels.
You know, a couple of these lawsuits, successful or not, are going to make the university realize that there are financial consequences.
But I've got to tell you, this is one of those institutions that I think is so badly corrupted that it's probably not safe.
By the way, I said the reason that I think they're finished is twofold.
They don't do what they said they're going to do, and I also said you don't need them anymore.
And what I mean by that is, because of the internet now, you no longer need to go into ivy-covered buildings in order to attain knowledge.
And in fact, you don't even really need to do it in order to find a good instructor.
I'm a college dropout.
Everything I learned, I learned on my own and through the internet, essentially.
And it's not only possible, it's free.
And then, you know, you obviously need teachers, but you can find those sometimes online or homeschooling, whatever the case may be.
If I had to take somebody's child at age six and say, and given a choice, you're either going to go through the American education system or we're going to leave you on your own with some relatives, I would take That.
And finally, just on this education topic, the single great tragedy in America today is that we have simultaneously the worst educated, most spoiled, and insecure generation in history on one end of the spectrum, and we have the best educated, bravest, most patriotic, most experienced generation on the other end of the spectrum.
And we should be hooking up retired people with students.
And I would rather have my son, if I had a son, be taught chemistry by a guy who was a chief chemist at Dow for 11 years than by a 22-year-old education major.
Well, they really are coming out dumber than when they went in.
And I'll bring that back to mathematics, where they don't do numbers.
They don't, you know, two and two can be whatever you want it to be.
And that makes them so easily to manipulate where they say, I forget who it was, like Rob Reiner or someone, some celebrity said, well, you know, we got what, the $13 trillion debt.
What about Warren Buffett?
He can pay for some of that, can he?
And, you know, I saw there was a trend recently, this doing things a million times.
And there was this blogger, this YouTuber, and to raise money for charity, he said, I'm going to say Gucci Gang a million times.
Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang.
It's from a popular rap song.
Right.
And it took him, I think, about a week of nine-hour days just going Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci.
Tell him I'll give him a thousand times more money if you'd say Gucci gang a billion times.
No problem.
How much is a billion?
That can't be that much.
And the kid was in tears by the end.
He'd given himself brain damage because a million is a big number.
These people don't understand.
And you do that with Israel, too.
I'll have people complaining, oh, 3.5 billion.
And I go, I get your point.
I see what you're saying.
That's an afternoon for the American government.
It's time between breakfast and lunch.
And there's an extraordinarily good video out there called Visual.
I think it's called Visualizing $20 Trillion.
What does $20 trillion look like on YouTube?
And I'm just really hacking at it a little bit, but essentially, a million dollars is a cargo pallet stacked with $100 bills.
And a billion dollars is essentially a football field covered with cargo stacks of $100 bills.
But $20 trillion is a pack of cargo pallets that cover the footprint of the World Trade Center and go as high as the World Trade Center of $100 bills.
And there are 17 of those.
And that's how much money we owe.
And those kind of things, you know, you can never get your mind really around these kind of numbers.
But at least with examples like that, you can at least begin to appreciate the fact that the magnitude is so far beyond what you think it is that it's time to start rethinking about these things.
At the very least, can it make young people today, young rebels, hate institutions like academia and the government?
Can we get back to the leather jacket and the cigarette and the we want to ride our machines without being hassled by the man?
You could make a pretty compelling case, Gavin, that the invention of the electronic ignition in automobiles has destroyed the country because you can no longer open up the hood and just go in there and tinker around.
But of course, that's a ridiculous case because most of these kids today haven't even been outside.
So strangely enough, it's funny you mentioned that.
There's a project that I'm going to be trying to get some money for.
What I want to do going forward is I want to take my message inside of video games.
I have had a number, when I say my message, I mean the conservative message, conservative libertarian message.
I do a number of speaking events, and virtually every one of them has the question, well, what are we going to do about young people?
And sometimes people will come up to me afterwards and say, hey, could we maybe make a conservative video game?
And I'm more polite than this, but what I want to say is, well, what I do say is, well, ma'am, they're $50 million minimum.
But what I really want to say is, wow, what an exciting game that would be.
You get in the car that you own, you drive to the bank, you deposit more money than you take out, and then you come home and have dinner with your wife.
Wow, dynamic.
But what's interesting about this to me is especially these sandbox games where the computer is not guiding you through a story so much as multiple players are in a universe and the computer is simply just doing the rules of economics and gravity and so on.
And to keep a very long story short, what we find is that these people who are playing video games, two-thirds of them are probably Bernie supporters, but when they decide to live in the world that they want to live in, there are two things that are remarkable about them.
They're making a lot of money and they're heavily armed.
Yes, yes.
I was going to say that.
A lot of video games seem kind of right-wing.
They're heavily armed.
Because in a video game, the false constraints on reality are removed.
In a video game like the one I'm interested in called Star Citizen, you could come to one of these people who may be a big gun control advocate out in the real world and say to them, well, why don't you just go on out there without any weapons on your ship or without any weapons on your person?
They'll look at you like you're mad.
They'll say, are you insane?
I can't possibly defend myself without any weapons.
And then you just get a chance to say, oh, well, okay, that seems to make sense to me.
You don't have to bludgeon people with it.
But when you get into the computer game world, you remove the constraints of...
You can't call...
And so you have to be prepared to defend yourself.
But the point I want to make is, listen, you can't call 911 in the real world either if somebody's murdering you.
It's true, it's safer now here than it is in some of these games, but the principle is the same.
And it seems to me like there's such an opportunity to apply major jiu-jitsu on this thing where you use the momentum of what they want to do and what they actually do.
They're spending billions and billions of dollars to play these games.
And it seems to me that we should be able to say to these people while they're doing these conservative libertarian things, just kind of, that's kind of a conservative, libertarian thing you're doing there, buddy.
And provide a force of good in the game.
It's not a lecture.
It's not a 58-year-old guy standing in front of a burning lake of fire, talking about economics or whatever.
It's just using people's own behaviors to show them how badly they've been lied to by the left in general and population, left specifically and the population in general.
Yeah, I mean, it all sounds so intuitive to me that you would want a world where you have a gun, that you would want to rebel, that you would want to not have other people telling you what to do.
But the Marxists in academia and in the government have convinced people to ignore their own instincts and embrace something that feels bad.
Correct.
And Evan Sayette had a term that I like very much.
He talked about the fact that the left has rhetorical intelligence.
We tend to have more practical intelligence.
The left has rhetorical intelligence.
They're gifted in the idea of rhetoric, communication, and so on, which goes back to what we were talking about when you first started.
Calling something the DREAM Act and calling illegal aliens DREAMers.
It puts a spin on it.
I was, for the longest time, completely, absolutely immune to the idea of why welfare was named welfare.
Could just seem like a nice name for a handout program.
But only much, much later did I realize that there's nowhere in the Constitution that says that we can take money from one person and give it to somebody else, but there is a line in there that says provide for the common welfare, the general welfare.
You see?
So what they do is they retroactively name a socialist program after an element from the Constitution, and it brings with it all of these constitutional trappings with it.
Well, what justification do you have for this?
Well, it says, you know, provide for the general welfare.
We're just providing for the general welfare.
And then you have to say general welfare means applies equally to everybody.
You're not applying this to the general welfare.
You're applying it to specific individuals.
And by the way, general welfare is in the preamble, which is essentially an invitation to come into the house.
And if I invite you into my house, that doesn't mean you have legal permission to leave with my TV set.
Yes.
Well, we are fighting a war here, and they have their own generals, general welfare, at your service, fighting their war of taking our money.
Bill, we're out of time.
I really have got to get have you back on again because I feel like we've only scratched the surface here.
I'd be delighted.
I love conversations like this, Kevin.
We can do it.
Whenever you'd like, just give us a ring.
We'd be happy to be there.
I'm having a blast myself.
Right on.
Thanks, Bill.
Buddy.
Here's Kesha at the Grammys.
She's accusing Dr. Luke, one of her producers of sexual harassment.
He's subpoenaing her and charging her with defamation, I believe, because she's full of sh ⁇ .
You don't really get a lot of rapists suing people for accusing them of molesting them.
I don't believe it.
But she has a great song.
I'm not going to lie.
Kesha has a great song called Praying.
It's a jam.
I love it.
My wife got me hooked on it.
But she's decided to make it all about sexual harassment when she's part of a very sketchy lawsuit involving sexual harassment.
And once again, you're trivializing the real victims here.
Look at this overly melodramatic ending with Cindy Lauper and Rihanna and everyone all wearing white dresses to, I don't know, say that they shouldn't be raped.
Wrong content.
I hope you find your peace falling on your knees.
