Time Text
Live from New York, it's Get Off My Lawn with Kevin McGuinness.
Hey guys, how you doing?
We're here in Port St. Lucie for spring training.
We're at the Mets Stadium, Field Data Stadium, or something like that.
I just came up with this idea at the last second because my son wants to see the Mets play.
We're going to see the Pirates.
We're going to see the Houston Astros.
And we're going to see the Yankees on Wednesday.
We've got press credentials.
We'll be able to bring the camera into the stadium, talk to the people, get to know what's going on.
But here's what I got to say.
Here's what I want to know what's going on.
Why does spring training exist?
I don't understand.
Like, say you got the Justice League, right?
You got Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, or as my son calls him, Aquaman.
Imagine you got those guys together and then you said, hey, Aquaman, go run some laps.
Hey, Superman, go do 9 million push-ups.
Hey, Wonder Woman, go practice blocking bullets.
These guys are in the MLB.
I don't understand why they're training.
I don't even understand why we're having these games.
They don't exist.
And then people go, well, they've got to warm up.
Why?
I have to warm up.
I suck.
My son has to warm up.
He's got decades ahead of him with high school baseball and all this crap.
Once you can throw a baseball at 100 miles an hour, what are you going to practice?
What are they practicing?
They should be in a hot tub with prostitutes getting massages.
They should be loved long time.
And eating Hagandas, watching when Harry Met Sally, maybe getting some box sets, catching up, maybe watching the Sopranos again.
I mean, you don't want them to get fat, although Big Sexy, one of our greatest guys ever, Bartolo Colon, he was a big fat pig.
He did great.
Remember the 80s?
Nails?
All those guys?
They were doing Coke.
There was that dude they made a cartoon of.
He pitched a no-hitter on LSD.
We are dealing with superheroes here.
And I'm watching these guys.
This morning we came here early and they started pitching.
And they're throwing the ball back and forth.
And every time it hits the glove, it sounds like a balloon popped.
Because they're throwing them at, you know, a casual 75 miles an hour.
My whole family could be on fire, and I wouldn't be able to throw a baseball at 70 miles an hour.
I was whipping it at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, and I was throwing them so hard, my hand was swollen.
It looked like Mickey Mouse's glove after, and that was maybe 40, 50 miles an hour.
Most guys I talk to think they can throw 70.
You cannot.
I'd be very impressed if you could break 50.
But these guys, going down to 70 is a chore.
So why are they here?
What are they doing?
Why are they playing games?
Why are we watching them?
Why are we filming it?
What are we doing here?
Where are you from, Florida?
Yes.
And you guys are just partying here.
You don't care about the Mets?
No.
How do you feel about the Mets in your town metting it up?
I'm not a fan because I'm a Red Sox fan.
Oh, really?
What do you like about the Red Sox?
That they're not the Yankees.
Well, we have that in common.
We both hate the Yankees.
Yes.
You know, someone asked me once why I hate the Yankees so much, and I go, I don't really hate the team.
It's their fans I hate.
Yes.
And someone asked me that about Trump, and I go, the reason I love him is because I love his fans.
How do you feel about Trump?
I'm not a fan.
Come on.
Let it in your soul.
Let it in your heart.
No.
Why do you hate him so much?
Because he just doesn't have any idea about anything.
He's just very arrogant and stupid.
What about Justin Trudeau up in Canada?
He has no idea what he's doing.
I don't know who that is.
Oh, good.
Okay.
So we're on the same page.
No, but seriously, folks, let's check out this game with the, what are they called again?
The Pirates?
The Tigers.
The Tigers.
The Detroit Tigers.
Let's check out that game.
Let's hope my son gets on the Jumbotron.
Let's get to know the nuances of Port St. Lucie and baseball in spring training.
And let's also, I've heard rumors that Jimmy McInnes is in town.
And I'd like to talk to him, not just about baseball, but about the way people sit on planes.
My dad taught me this trick where you put your knee up against the chair so they can't put their chair back.
And it led to an altercation on the plane.
And I'd like to talk to Jimmy McInnes about that, about what he taught me and how it led to fights on the plane and see what he thinks about it.
There's no guarantee we'll get to Jimmy, though.
But we will get to baseball.
Let's check it out.
Oh, who was that?
That was a Mets player who just hit it out of the park.
I don't know.
Is he out?
He's out.
But we're still winning.
We're in the third inning, 2-0.
We're playing the remarkably incompetent Detroit Tigers.
They have no idea what they're doing.
They hit two of our players twice.
Like two different players got hit in one of the opening, in the first inning, I believe.
Why are you looking weird, Dave?
Yeah, don't worry about it.
We've got great seats for right by the bullpen or the dugout or something like that.
Is the guy yelling right now?
We're here with all Mets fans, which is cool because I don't like other people's teams.
And one thing I don't like about 20 games in New York is you're around the other team.
There'll be someone from the other team right in the chair next to you going, yay!
Every time you lose.
I'm from Scotland.
If you're in Scotland and the If you're in Scotland and say the Celtics and the Rangers are near each other, Celtics are green, Rangers are blue.
The guy in a blue scarf goes by a Celtics bus.
He would get bottled.
He would get murdered.
They have to put them in separate parts of the stadium.
And the idea that they all hang out together, I guess it shows America's more civilized in Scotland, but I don't want to be civilized.
So this is all Mets fans everywhere.
Mets chicks are fun, by the way.
Like, you know, when people watch King of Queens and they go, how does Kevin James get a hottie like Leah Romini?
That's normal in Queens because Italians and Jews, they keep themselves nice.
They grow their hair long, they go to the beauty salon, they wear high heels, going in their 40s.
They don't give up the way a lot of, sorry, but Irish and other women do.
You know, I was in Atlantis, which is mostly Boston people.
So these are the short hair and skechers, and they're just like, I already made two kids.
Screw it.
But one interesting thing, too, I was noticing about sitting here is we're behind this huge netting, and I got these seats so my boy can catch a ball, but the netting is going to prevent that.
And I blame women, just like everything.
I'm an anti-femite.
I blame women for this.
And it's because they're on their phones, and they probably got hit in the head with a couple balls, or some single mom brought her daughter thinking, we're all the same.
And her daughter got hit.
And so we have to have all this netting here.
And I thought, isn't that ironic that women are taking away balls from young boys?
Because that's what they do in school, right?
They castrate these boys.
But you know what's funny?
We've only been down here for a day, and I've already noticed something interesting.
All of the hard laborers are geriatrics.
They're all white hairs, like the guys mowing the lawn, the guy with Sersei popcorn, the guy I bought my beer from.
Not only are they white hairs, but they're geriatrics from New York.
And my theory is, you know, California has illegal aliens, Canada has teenagers, this area has geriatrics.
My theory is, stop your giggling, they have some guy from Queens, and he's like, I got 200 grand.
I heard this, by the way, about Uncle Frank, the guy from Jimmy Kimmel's show who's dead now, why he moved to Vegas.
They're like, I got 200 grand.
I'll buy a house with 100 grand.
Then I got 100 grand.
That's not enough to live on for the rest of my life.
But it's a good little nest egg.
And I'll just have that there in Florida where it goes a long ass way.
The beers here, by the way, are seven bucks, which is half the price in here.
And then I'll just do odd jobs.
I'll Uber, I'll sell beer at the stadium, I'll mow the lawns, I'll sell some guys some popcorn, then I'll go get drunk.
You know, I can be hungover for a few days.
And they sort of coast.
So I'm seeing all these old white-haired New Yorkers coast down here.
We're supposed to be in Florida, but we're really just still in New York.
We are in Little Brooklyn here in Port St. Lucie, Florida, checking in.
Music playing.
That's my boy up there.
He's going to guess how many people are in the stadium.
He's on the Jumbotron.
A. B, 5, 380 children.
C, 5,000.
Come on, A, A, A. What?
More than yesterday?
So the goal of the thing was to guess how many people are in the studio.
My son went for the lowest one, 5,000.
This guy, this guy said there was 5,200 here yesterday, and it's less than that.
That was just bad information.
Now, the moral of the story maybe is don't cheat, but just so you know, this is the kind of guy who will ruin your life.
And my son is going to devote the rest of his life.
It's going to be like Death Wish.
He's going to devote the rest of his life to revenge on the bad info.
Unbelievable.
unbelievable Hi guys, welcome back to Metstock.
I'm here with Jimmy McInnes, the man who made me.
And we are at Duffy's, a sports bar in Port St. Lucie, where spring training is.
It's a nice bar.
I don't think it would kill them to get some TVs in here.
I don't know if you want to do sort of a pan around here, but it could do with maybe three more TVs.
I don't know.
Dad, I wanted to talk to you about my flight over here to see the Mets, where a woman put her chair back on the plane, which encroached upon my space, which I don't have a problem with if we're sleeping on an overnighter, to say Scotland, for example.
But she wasn't.
She was just doing that to read.
So I didn't catch her when she first did it, right?
It was already too late when I've discovered it.
But I slowly, over the course of 20 minutes, pushed her chair back up in an incremental way where she couldn't know.
And then I use your trick, which you taught me, where you put your knees up against the back of the chair and then pretend to be asleep.
Well, I think that's a exactly.
I mean, people are so incredibly selfish.
You know, they don't turn around to you and say, would you mind if I backed my chair up so I can rest or whatever, no?
Or maybe you look back to see if the person behind you is sleeping or if there's a kid there.
No, I said, well, people are pretty rude in general.
But not in Florida.
People in Florida.
Well, people in America in general are much more polite than most people in other nations.
I mean, Americans are incredibly polite.
Well, I noticed that about the game today.
We're playing the Tigers, and the Tigers will get a, I think they got a run or two, and everyone was clapping all these Tigers fans, and I thought, if this was Glasgow, all those Tigers fans would have had a bottle over their face.
I don't know about that, but you know, when I stay in New Smylna for the winter, and there, cars will stop in the middle of the road to let pedestrians cross the road, but there's not even a pedestrian crossing.
You know, stop and let people cross.
I've seen that in Vancouver and stuff.
It seems to be In ethnically homogenous areas.
Oh, don't get into ethnic homogenous.
Sorry, sorry.
Okay, let me get back to the chair.
No, no, no, forget about the chair.
You know, this ethnic business homogeny, and this idiot, Justin Triddle, with diversity as a strength, every time I hear that, I just want to throw up.
Diversity is not a strength.
Wait a minute.
Have you been, if you go to a big city and there are so many different restaurants, you can have Somalian food one night, you can have Mexican food the other night, you can have Brazilian food, Portuguese food.
Diversity, when you have people serving you different platters, it's wonderful.
Absolutely.
Diversity of food is wonderful.
Diversity of art is wonderful.
Diversity of dance and music is wonderful.
Not diversity of values.
You know, we don't want to have values where women are inferior to men, where you can be killed if you actually become an apostate in any religion.
We don't want those.
We don't want diverse values.
So, lovely.
Thai food is wonderful.
Maybe, I don't know, I don't eat a lot of Arab food, but I don't know what Islamic food is, but I don't want to have diverse Islamic values.
It doesn't make any sense.
And we have this idiot, Trudeau, trying to force these nonsensical Islamic values on us.
Well, isn't this just him, and obviously my father is speaking of the Prime Minister of Canada.
Isn't this him just repeating his father's agenda?
And Pierre Trudeau's agenda was, A, bilingualism from coast to coast, which must have cost trillions, and B, maximum diversity.
And I think his maximum diversity, by the way, had no real basis behind it other than I want to separate myself from America.
America doesn't look very diverse.
I'm going to be the diverse guy.
I'm the diversity guy.
Well, I don't think there's any point in trying to understand someone who's that dumb.
You know, I mean, that you can attribute whatever he's doing to God knows what.
I was talking about Pierre.
Well, actually, both of them, you know.
To me, the only difference is, you know, the son takes after his father.
His father was probably one of the best educated morons who's ever led a country.
And Justin, his son, takes after him, but Justin isn't even well educated.
We have a snowboard, was he?
A snowboard or a surfboard instructor, a part-time drama teacher, leading a country of over 30 million people?
It's a disaster.
We're similar in that sense, because Pierre Trudeau married a hot chick, and then his son suffered the IQ, and you married a hot chick, and I have about half your IQ.
So we trusted it.
And Pierre and you and I, we're a mirror image, really, genetically.
Actually not.
You may have half my IQ, but you could still be a genius.
So what I did was I slept with my knees behind her chair, but I pretended I was asleep.
And then she called the stewardess, and the stewardess said, oh, I see what's going on.
You can't put your chair back.
Well, he's asleep.
Do you want me to wake him up?
And she said, no, fine.
And then some time went by, and I woke up.
I was awake the whole time.
And her brother-in-law sitting right there, her brother-in-law, by the way, who was watching Justice League.
The guy was my age.
And he's watching Justice League alone with headphones on his phone.
And he says, he's awake now.
And then she starts to put it back.
And I say, no, you can't put it back.
And he says, the chairs go back.
And he starts showing the chair go back.
I go, you were just watching superhero movies, you moron.
And the girl behind him was a little kid.
And I go, why don't you put your chair back and ruin her time?
And the woman starts going, we're allowed to put our chairs back.
And I go, I'm not allowing you to encroach upon my space.
Well, you know, these say cheap airlines in UK, you can put your chair back.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Ryanair.
Ryanair, you can put your chair back on Ryanair.
Maybe that's our values affecting the actual chair.
Well, perhaps, perhaps, you know.
So let's get down to the nitty-gritty here with Justin's trip to India.
I think, and I have inside sources, that he was really traumatized by all these negative tweets.
They were hurting his feelings.
I know it sounds like I'm joking, but they were really hurting his feelings.
So he thought, I'll go to India and I'll look good in my dumb outfits, my Bollywood outfits, and then it'll sort of replenish not just my marriage and my life, but my sanity.
And it ended up having the reverse effect.
Well, it's become an international joke.
You know, the guy is, you know, every goddamn country, almost every network thinks the guy is a clown, and they've got it right.
He's a complete clown.
For goodness sake, when he was in India, he was more Bollywood than Bollywood.
Yes, yes.
But my take on it is naive.
I just thought it was him being a fool and thinking he could replenish his sort of, I don't know, multicultural energy force.
But it actually, you were saying earlier that it had to do with the opposition in the Canadian Parliament being Sikh.
And he thought, I'll go hang out with some Sikhs and appease my enemies.
Well, I don't think he's smart enough to do that.
My guess is that it is 2IC, who I think actually is the Prime Minister of Canada.
This nutcase he's got.
Gerard Butts.
Gerard Butts.
The guy he went to McGill with and they smoked pot all the time.
Gerard Butts Has a degree in political science.
So that's really impressive.
But what's happened now?
It's such a tobacco.
First of all, he said it was some MP from British Columbia who invited him.
When you say invited him, you're talking about a terrorist that was part of the trip that Trudeau had been photographed with before, a Sikh terrorist.
And this MP said, no, I didn't invite him.
What happened was, you know, a bunch of people sent in requests to my constituency office to visit India with Trudeau.
And I just passed them on to Trudeau's office.
So I didn't personally invite him.
He says, my constituency office is run by 20-year-olds.
You've probably never heard of this man.
This is the Indian talking.
No, this is the, yes, this is, he's not Indian.
He's a Canadian, but he's of Indian origin.
He's one who okayed Justin's guest list.
Well, he did not okay.
He just forwarded a list of requests.
He did not personally invite this man.
So he's denying he invited him after Trudeau said he invited this terrorist.
And to be clear, we're talking about a terrorist that Justin brought to India, a Sikh terrorist.
I didn't actually know this, but apparently the Sikhs are terrorizing Hindus because they want their own land, just like the Pakistani Muslims have their own country.
The Sikhs want their own country.
So I've always thought of Sikhs as good guys, pretty good assimilators, but I guess when it comes to Hindus, they're not so friendly.
Well, it was the Sikhs who sabotaged the Air India flight to Canada and killed God knows how many people.
So they are terrorists.
In fact, what there is, a group of Sikhs who want their own country, they want what they call Khalistan.
So not only has this turned out to be a complete boss, but the Indian government now, at one point, Trudeau said that he was told by a government employee, a security officer, that it was an Indian faction in the Indian government who orchestrated this.
And of course, the Indian government have violently denied it.
So it's the most bizarre thing imaginable.
You know, the best thing Justin can do is just stay home.
Hide under your bed.
You're a disaster.
You're telling me this, and I would never want to convert, but these guys are making me so nauseous, I feel like telling them, you make me seek.
So that's it, folks.
We're back at the hotel.
One of the worst hotels I've ever had.
Everything's booked.
This is a big week with the Astros and the Yankees playing the Mets.
So everything around there is booked, especially the Garden Inn where Tim Tebau is said to be staying.
So that's a write-off.
So we're actually in this super crappy little shack, two-bed room with, it's on a golf course.
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if a golf ball goes smashing through this.
I can walk out 15 feet from this back door, and I'm on the green or the lawn, whatever they call it.
So we're here.
My old man went to go get beer.
He was pretty angry that we don't have beer here, but there's nothing to walk to.
That's the problem with Port St. Lucie.
There's no, and am I pronouncing that right?
It's not Port St. Lucie?
Port St. Lucie, there's nothing to walk around to.
There's no sort of culture.
It's just like highway industrial complex with stucco on the side.
What's it called?
It's called like Cevus or something, this sort of eggshell stucco frame with styrofoam and then, you know, plywood and other stuff.
No brick anywhere.
It's great in really dry places, but Cevas?
Anyway, it's a little bit depressing here, but the game is fun.
And it reminded me of an epiphany I had recently when I was at Atlantis.
We were there for vacation recently, as I told you.
And this is more of a podcast-based kind of thing, but I don't have the news in front of me, and I can't show you viral videos, so I don't know what's going on.
Actually, I do know one news item.
My buddy Arvind Dilawar, and I'll get to the Maoist epiphany shortly, but Arvind Dilawar is this Indian kid I used to work with.
When I first started Street Carnage, that was a site I did after I left Vice.
It was just a dumb site.
It was sort of meant to be the new Vice.
Like, not beholden to advertisers, raunchiest thing ever.
We had, you know, no holds barred.
And I couldn't call it do's and don'ts anymore, but I called it Street Boners.
And we had, you know, this kid Sam doing drugs, doing push-ups.
He did heroin push-ups.
He did push-ups when he was drunk.
He did push-ups on cocaine, all this different stuff.
Kind of regrettable now.
It really was like, it was almost like Vince Neal leaves Motley Crew and then he wants to do like a death metal band.
It was just a dumb idea.
Why am I doing that?
But Arvind was the editor, Arvind Delaware.
Interesting guys.
He's from Astoria Queens or Queens, which is all Indian now, right?
His mother's, I think, Pakistani.
dad's Indian, which doesn't sound like a big difference to most people, but that is a massive...
Muslims killed a million Hindus.
That's a big spread as far as parents go.
But, you know, he's from that area of Queens.
It's all Indian.
The guy who did the problem with Apu is from there.
And you're going to be left-wing.
Obviously, you're going to be left-wing if you're in New York, but I'm sure being Indian and in Queens, I don't know.
It's a strange predilection to have because Indians generally culturally say, what are you doing?
You've got to get married.
You have to have kids.
Why are you waiting so long?
I will need grandchildren.
So they tend to be sort of culturally conservative in many ways.
And they tend to be sort of Islamophobic in the sense that, you know, they had a massive civil war that created Pakistan, where the Muslims were sent north to Pakistan, the Hindus were sent south to India.
So you'd think they'd be more on par with the right, but they're not.
It's New York City.
I mean, everyone is on the left.
And Arvind was one of those guys, but we got along great.
Smart kid, curious kid.
Said a lot of interesting stuff, too, like a lot of revelations he gave me.
He said something that I just will never forget.
He said, you know, this whole idea of how hard it is to get a secondary education and how you've got to go to NYU.
He goes, all I did in Queens, going to public schools, was show up.
I just got C's.
I got B's, the occasional B. I'm not that smart of a guy.
But I just sort of tried and I got my 62% average, whatever.
And I ended up getting a scholarship to go to New York City College, whatever the hell is that called.
What's that called?
City College in New York?
Is that CUNY?
He got a scholarship to go to CUNY, and they actually, just like British universities did, they paid him more money.
And I remember my lawyer said, yeah, we're doing a marathon.
We're driving our bikes, bicycles, from New York City all the way up to Long Island or Westchester or something, the New York suburbs, and then back again and then down to Staten Island.
This big marathon to raise money for kids so they can go to college, so they can go to city college.
And I go, dude, it's like four grand.
And it's super easy to get into, as Arvin explained to me.
And not only did they give him a scholarship, so they paid his four grand, but they also gave him, I think, another grand.
And you go, yeah, but that's SUNY.
That's no NYU.
No, it's the same professors.
In fact, I met a professor there once.
I can't remember how we met.
We were walking down the street.
I guess I was at SUNY for some reason.
I shot a sketch there.
That was it.
We just ran in, stole the space, and shot a comedy sketch in a classroom without their permission.
And I met a professor there, and then we talked as he was walking outside.
And we walked, we were both headed in the same direction.
We ended up talking, and he goes, yeah, I teach a course at NYU called The 60s, something like that.
And then at SUNY, I teach a class called The Hippie Movement and How the Baby Boomers Changed the World.
Same exact class.
But for the SUNY kids, it was a few hundred bucks.
For the NYU kids, it was a devastating fortune.
Same education.
And then you go, wait a minute.
The reason you're sending your kids to NYU is it's a class thing, and you want them to be in a certain echelon of aristocrats so they marry in with the right DNA, the right sort of genetic disposition.
That's why you send them to NYU.
And you don't like SUNY because it's all immigrants and Indians and Polacks.
But even that crazy mentality, which I don't advocate, obviously, even that mentality doesn't make any sense because people don't get married with their college sweethearts anymore.
They don't do that.
So they're not going to marry the guy that they met at NYU.
They're going to get married maybe 10 years after that.
So now, even with the super shallow, horrible women who send their daughters there so they'll meet a rich guy, even that mentality doesn't justify NYU.
Anyway, I got that from Arvin.
And he worked hard on Street Carnage.
He was a good guy, very curious guy.
He always wanted to debate, which is obviously what anyone who disagrees with someone wants.
You know, all us evil conservatives, all we really want to do is talk to you.
And Arvin wanted to do that.
We argued constantly.
And then he moved on to some, after Street Carnage couldn't pay him anything decent, he moved on to this literary site for a while.
And then I heard he worked at The Nation.
And you just go, all right, okay, great, The Nation.
So cut to, very recently, Jovi Val.
Remember Jovi Val?
He's a guy who got bottled for wearing a MAGA hat.
We've had him on the show.
He had a plastic surgeon, a pro-Trump plastic surgeon, fixed up his nose.
So Jovi is very active.
He's an activist.
So he went to that Shakespearean thing and jumped on stage, as well as Laura Loomer.
I think Jack Pesobic did, too.
They jumped on stage at that anti-Trump Shakespearean play, Shakespeare in the Park.
Remember that?
They had Trump getting murdered.
So they jumped on stage for that.
Jovi was there.
And Jovi went to some other thing.
I think it was at Columbia.
This is long after Arvin has graduated, by the way.
And someone stole his phone.
Now, I got an email from this kid, Jonathan Levine, who works at The Rap.
I'm not a fan.
I talked about him before.
He was the guy that wrote a hit piece about me on Mike or Vox or something, and then he became right-wing.
And Ann Coulter brought him out to dinner.
And he said, I'm sorry I did that hit piece on you.
And I said, yeah, why'd you do that?
And because I couldn't really remember it.
And I go, what was it about again?
He goes, I don't know.
It's one of five pieces I wrote that day.
That's what you have to understand, too, about these liberal bloggers is they don't really have any gumption.
They don't really remember what they're writing.
It's not like it's Watergate, and they're writing about these secret tapes.
They don't care about what they're doing.
It's just working on the content chain gang.
So he's one of those guys.
And now that he's moved over to the right, I don't think he's any different.
I mean, I told you on the other episode, he talked to Steve Forbes, who was just like a saint, and he said something about Trump hitting a woman's butt with a magazine.
And he goes, it was a Forbes.
And he goes, how does he feel about your name touching a woman's ass?
And I almost beat him up.
It was at James O'Keefe's book launch.
And I just thought, you're vile.
Anyway, he contacted me recently, and he goes, what do you think of Arvin?
And I go, God, I haven't seen him in maybe 10 years, but great guy.
Awesome guy.
One of my best hires.
Hard-working dude.
Left-wing, but who cares?
He's young.
And he also, by the way, has the balls to meet a girl.
I think he proposed to her.
So he has the courage to put a ring on it.
And that's more important than any of this crap.
And then he doesn't tell me why he wants to talk to me.
So I just said the honest truth.
I appreciate Arvin.
And I think he was a good guy.
And then it comes, the article came out just now, and he had stolen Jovi Vall's phone at a rally and run away with it, which is a petty, stupid thing to do.
But he's being charged.
He's being charged with a felony, I believe.
This is the same thing that Tariq guy did, the anti-Pho academic at the University of Illinois, where these kids go, what are you doing here protesting?
Shouldn't you be with your kids or something?
And then he took that as a threat to his children, so he ran up to these Turning Point USA kids from Chicago U and grabbed their phone.
Now, that charge has gone through.
I don't think it made it to the police, but the school decided he had to do, oh no, it did make it to the police.
The authorities decided he had to do 15 hours of community service.
All right, fine, whatever.
Arvind is doing the same thing, I guess.
He ran and stole the phone, and it looks like he might not get away with something as easy as 15 hours of community service.
Now, how do I feel when I see that?
I just, I don't know.
It's just so predictable, you know?
And Arvind didn't grow up rich.
He grew up poor.
So the fact that he thinks you can just grab phones and stuff, that's rich kid behavior.
And it sounds like this awesome kid, Arvin, has got caught up with these academic, spoiled brats, and he's behaving like them.
And the problem with that is you get charged with real-life actual charges that exist here on Earth.
But that doesn't mean I forgot what I was talking about.
My original point was an epiphany I had today, and not today, sorry.
I was thinking about this today.
So we're in Atlantis in Barbados, and we're seeing this incredible, nothing like this crappy room.
Nothing like this garbage lamp with this fake stressed steel.
And the petir, what's that called?
Panir?
This fake sort of aging it has on it.
No, Atlantis is beautiful.
The resort.
I heard Trump was involved.
I think Merv Griffin bought it immediately.
But when I was there, this thing sort of washed over me.
Not the water park, but the realization that this is probably Chinese labor.
And so much of what we enjoy is Chinese labor.
And you think, why is Chinese labor so cheap?
Well, because it's from a communist country.
Yeah.
Why is it a communist country?
Because Mao, the Kami, killed 70 million of them.
70 million Chinese people he killed.
Now, how can that not have an effect on your genetics when you kill 70 million?
You know what I mean?
Generations go by?
I mean, one of the reasons Russians are so homophobic is that after World War II, so many men had died that they needed to replenish their population.
So the general mentality was, hey guys, if you're going to be gay, can you just do that sort of privately on your own time?
We need babies.
So get with a woman, and I don't want to hear any gay stuff.
If it's going to happen, make it private.
But make babies.
Now, that's just a sort of cultural implication of the 20 million that died in World War II.
70 million.
And that was Mao crushing academics, creative people, you know, entertainers, anyone who was too didactic and interesting.
That's who he exterminated.
So what do you end up with?
Couldn't you argue that China, the 1 billion Chinese, couldn't you argue that Mao's genocide biologically altered the populace to be more robotic, more conformist, less adventurous?
I mean, he exterminated Gumption.
So it's arguable that he didn't just sort of culturally make his people into robots.
He genetically made people into robots by extinguishing the creative class.
And obviously in America, the creative class and the academics, they have a stigma amongst our people because they're annoying.
I don't think they were that annoying in China.
So these people, possibly genetically, can endure more suffering than other countries.
And maybe that's why communism can now thrive.
Maybe Mao was not right, but it was an effective way to get to where he wanted to go, which was a robotic populace.
And so these people can endure suffering.
And I've been to China many times.
I lived there.
I lived in Taiwan.
And you'll notice that people will work.
Chinese New Year, I think you get like a month, two months off.
It's a big deal there.
But they will work like tailors will work one above each other in a closet.
You could honestly fit.
I'm not exaggerating.
We're in a tiny room here.
I could almost touch either end.
Even in what you see here, you could fit one, two, three, four, five, six Chinese tailors.
So in a strange way, Atlantis was taking advantage of this suffering, and it's the free market doing it.
And that's not evil.
That's natural.
That's God.
That's the way we operate as human beings.
You give us some sort of strange piece of detritus, some piece of driftwood, some sort of global piece of driftwood, which is communism and the Chinese ability to endure suffering.
And we go, I can take that horrific situation and make it into a nice sort of a wall hanging here in Atlantis.
I can make it into a cool water slide.
I can make it into a fun resort.
So we're incredible at adapting as human beings.
And even when you do something as blasphemous and evil as communism and murder 70 million people, even when you alter an entire country's DNA, we can still take that and make a beautiful water park out of it.
Isn't that amazing?
I'm not sure how that relates to the Mets and our day today and Jimmy McInnes, but it must somehow.
It must.
Anyway, thanks for tuning in.
