Time Text
That's Brown Sugar by the Rolling Stones.
We'll be talking about that later on because according to USA Today, it is a remarkably offensive song that would never be made in 2018.
I didn't know the lyrics.
I always thought it was like, you should've heard it just around midnight.
But apparently it's about whipping slave women and raping them and stuff.
Yeah, that's offensive.
Call me old-fashioned.
I'm against the raping and whipping of, I'm against slavery.
That's one of the more controversial things you'll hear on this show.
Don't own slaves.
And if you do own slaves, don't whip them.
Of course, that's more relevant than ever because there are more slaves today than ever before in history.
And there's slaves in New York City.
We've got sex slaves, rings of sex slaves being exposed in New York City, all over Britain.
What the hell is going on?
Do we need another civil war to end this crap?
Is ending slavery cyclical?
Something you've got, it's like taking out the trash every few years?
All right, I don't have a lot of time.
We've got a jam-packed show today.
We have the remarkably gorgeous Tiana Lowe, who is 8.54.
I've never seen her in person, so I'm only looking at photographs, and those can be deceiving.
We're going to talk to her about guns.
I'm trying to get Kyle Kashov on the show.
He's that pro-gun kid from Parkland.
He said yes.
We'll see what happens.
I also want to get Candace Owens on the show this week.
She's a superstar now because the Lord Jesus Kanye West dared to reach down from the heavens and mention her, which is a huge deal now.
It's amazing.
I don't know.
Like, on the one hand, celebrities have no power and we don't really care what they say.
But on the other hand, we really do backflips when they dare to stray from the narrative, right?
Like, who was it?
Rhys Witherspoon or something like that?
Some famous blonde celeb who was in Legally Blonde.
She just tweeted the name Tommy Lauren, just her name.
And everyone had a heart attack.
And now Candace Owens, who bought, if you recall, when I had her on the show, she was kind of rejected by the right as a fraud.
They thought she was just faking it, which they said that about Milo too, and even me.
And my attitude with those is, if you're working at McDonald's as a joke, I don't care.
You're still flipping burgers.
So sure, come on in.
So if Candace or Milo were just pretending, they're still doing great work, creating great content.
I don't care if you're flipping burgers sarcastically.
But of course, it's turned out that she's, whoa!
I'm giving away the fourth wall there, literally.
I don't really care.
And of course, it's turned out that she is on our side and she's kicking ass.
She's with Charlie Kirk there.
But who was it that was really mad at the whole Kanye thing?
Was it Tom Arnold?
Yeah.
Tom Arnold.
He wants to beat her up.
Suck a racist dick or something like that.
He deleted the tweet.
So a black guy likes a black woman and a white guy is telling them to suck racist d ⁇ .
I don't understand.
By the way, you know what Candace Owen's sin is, right?
She said, let's get over slavery and stuff.
Let's move on.
Let's be adults here.
We're living in America.
It's a beautiful place.
Thank you.
Now let's get on with our day.
That's a sin now.
Even if a black woman says it.
Front page of the post, Banks Vault.
Ex-cop had $300,000.
People don't seem to understand New York.
It's the gangs of New York.
It's Tammany Hall.
Nothing's ever changed here.
It's still remarkably corrupt.
And I had a great weekend with cops, by the way.
I've got so many stories about my weekend that I'm just going to have to put it on my podcast.
We had a big boat cruise, Proud Boys boat cruise, two major fights.
And when my friends fight, by the way, it's sort of like lawyers just going through redlining a document.
Like, you did this, on this day, we have to fight.
And then they fight, and then they're friends.
All right, let's sign this on the dotted headbutt, and we're good.
I did an incredible speech, if I don't say so myself, where I avoided Maker's Mark.
And I did a speech about how we won't capitulate.
I talked about all our friends who are in prison.
I went to Rikers Island, which I'll mention on the podcast.
And I said that, you know, there's an inclination there to be anonymous and hide because false accusations are just as damaging as true accusations.
So we just go all just avoid them.
And my speech was basically saying, don't capitulate, don't hide.
You're innocent.
You're not that thing that they say you are.
So proudly tell them to f ⁇ off.
And I stole Braveheart's speech at the end to see if you can catch it.
You got that, Dave?
These social justice warriors!
is liberals.
How much would you give to come back to this day and unanonymously say, I am a proud Western show of this who refuses to apologize for creating the modern world.
Yeah!
That's right.
Isn't it amazing that that's controversial?
I'm a Western chauvinist.
I think Western culture is the best.
I don't know.
Do you prefer Middle Eastern culture where people f ⁇ kids and throw gays off buildings?
What about Mexican culture?
How many beheadings were there today in Mexico?
I mean, Russia?
Do you want to go to Russia where family members rat out other family members?
Do you want to go to the Balkans?
I don't understand.
It's not a controversy.
China.
What are they?
I saw today.
They're selling keychains.
It's a little keychain.
And inside it is a little dying turtle in a little plastic bubble That'll last for maybe a day as you use your key.
Cool, little dying thing.
It's a dying keychain.
That's Chinese culture.
Sound good?
No, it doesn't sound good to me.
No, thank you.
So, yeah, we had an army of buddies in town.
And also, we had Milo in town, and he went out the next day for brunch.
I couldn't go.
I had to do baseball stuff with my kids, which I got a hundred stories about too.
I'll show you.
But they got, so Chadwick Moore and Milo go out for brunch on Sunday.
Milo's recognized like crazy in New York, way more than me.
And everyone wants to murder him.
You know why?
Because he's gay and non-violent.
He's not tough and he doesn't want to fight.
So they prey on him.
You'll notice that, by the way.
They're much more acerbic with Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin and Dana Lash and gays, like Dave Rubin and Milo and Shadwick, because they're easier prey.
They're like fist-free zones.
They don't come up to us.
And it's interesting that the second Milo's out of our sight and goes to get lunch, that's when he gets attacked by a mob who starts screaming Nazi at him and chases him out of the restaurant.
I believe he had to leave his stuff at his table when he left.
Nazis come, get out!
Nazis come get out!
Anyway, we're living in a lunatic asylum, and a great example of this is a USA Today article where they took 20 songs.
Two lazy millennials took 20 songs and said they were remarkably offensive and would never be made today.
And that, by the way, is sort of portrayed as a good thing.
So it's the new Victorians condemning art and telling us why we may not enjoy these particular songs.
Let's go through them all now.
I can't believe I fell in love with someone who has more makeup than you're so gay and you don't even like boys.
You're so gay between Katie Perry Roddy.
All right, stop, stop, stop.
Why did millennials choose philosophy as their number one hobby?
They're not good at it.
They don't understand the word why.
They just go, this is offensive, this is horrible.
And then they just jump to the next thing.
The onus is on you to show us why something is offensive before you just shrug your shoulders and go to the next thing.
So this is 20 politically incorrect songs that'd be wildly controversial today.
And she's starting off with Katie Perry, who says you're so gay because her boyfriend wears more makeup than her.
Yeah, that's gay.
That isn't gay.
So your dad could show up for Thanksgiving just with a pound of foundation on and lipstick, and you wouldn't think that what he's doing is some sort of a gay thing.
You just go, oh, dad's hiding his crow's feet with some good quality Mary Kay cosmetics.
Like, what's your point?
All right, let her talk for a little bit more.
Gay stereotypes and using the word as a straight-up slur.
Her personality is very woke, very with it, super in the public eye on America.
Remember when she had to do a big apology video where she sat down cross-legged with some black dude?
Oh, yeah, it was Dere Mackison.
And she said, I'm learning, I'm learning so much.
And she had her nice ugly hairdo cut short like a lesbian.
Feminism really uglifies even the hottest of pop stars.
But she had to sit down and do like an apology tour about what?
She didn't even say it's negative.
She said, you're being super gay.
And you know what?
If your boyfriend's wearing tons of makeup, yeah, that's indicative of an issue here.
It's not normal.
That's why you never see it.
Here's the bigger picture, and you're going to notice this throughout this video.
Millennials are anti-art.
All of these songs are just art.
And the way they crap on them and say you're not allowed to do that is young people coming up with a new philosophy that involves more rules, less fun, less art.
This is why the left is losing.
All right, go ahead.
Idol.
She almost certainly did.
You know what?
Just jump ahead to the next one.
I don't need to hear her shit.
With The Dude Looks Like a Lady by Error Smith, although the song was co-written by the openly gay songwriter Desmond Child, that's not good enough in the media, like with some media coverage about Chelsea Manning, has kind of hammered home.
All right, this is why millennials are dumb.
So this song written by a gay man that just says that a dude looks like a lady, that's it.
He doesn't say, dude looks like a lady and that sucks or anything like that.
He's just noticing that a dude is dressed up as a chick and it's convincing because they were at a strip club and he didn't notice she was trans.
By the way, what strip club were you at?
Cafe Clio Pat in Montreal.
That's the only place I've ever been where they do that.
But anyway, it's not a negative song and but because it was used on Fox News to describe Chelsea Manning, then it is a politically incorrect song that would be wildly controversial today.
What?
You see what I mean?
Like if I was a teacher and I was getting this as an essay, it would be an F. She hasn't done her homework.
Next.
this song isn't the original song.
Fortunately, one of music's greatest doo-wop ballads is also kind of an ode to a woman whose man beats her and she's okay with it.
So although it is this, you know, classic song, the overtones of domestic abuse are pretty hard to ignore.
Just stop.
Have you noticed the way whenever she talks about a black person or a woman, she has to add all these caveats like she's so woke and I don't want to disparage her.
If it's a white straight male, she can just jump in and go, this song's disgusting and it's tone deaf.
Boom, done.
But if it's a woman, she has to go, despite this, because it's black woman, right?
So they're double protected, black and woman.
She has to go, despite this band being one of the greatest doo-wop.
The crystals, no one remembers the crystals.
They were not one of the greatest doo-wop bands.
They were one of a thousand that were just churned out in the 60s.
If they had a factory going, what was his name?
Phil Who's it and his wall of sound, the guy who killed some chick?
Phil Linett.
Yeah, this band was not that serious.
But I think this song is consequential.
And that's the fun thing about art.
You get to analyze it and take from it what you want.
But this song, I would say, yeah, it is offensive.
You did find one.
It is offensive to me that a woman sees being beaten as a turn-on and some sort of a romantic gesture.
I find that offensive.
I also think it's great art.
Like when Louis C.K. did that joke about how pedophiles must really enjoy it because they're going to ruin like five lives by touching a little boy.
It must feel really good to them.
I find that joke deeply offensive.
I have kids.
I hate anything remotely pedophilia related.
It's also a hilarious joke and an interesting observation.
So this song is an offensive song and I'm fascinated that these black women in the 60s get turned on by getting slapped around.
That's an interesting world where things can blow your mind and songs cannot make sense to you.
These millennials, these politically correct social justice warriors, want to take all the nuance, all the interestingness out of art.
And that is The Death of Art.
The Death of Art Owen Downey, another one of fame.
So, no disrespect to the late R B. She's got to do the no disrespect to black women.
She's a huge influence on the genre.
But listening, it's hard to get around the fact that her mentor was the guy that she was singing because this is another thing I've noticed with millennials is these disclaimers.
Like when white males get up in college, they go, hey, I just want to say that obviously I'm coming from a place of privilege as a and they have to go through the whole list like able-bodied, heterosexual, middle-class white male.
But that being said, and then they can say their sentence.
They have to do an apology every time they open their mouths.
And she has to do an apology every time she criticizes a song by a woman of color.
So this song is Aaliyah testifying her love for R. Kelly, who was probably around 30 at the time.
She was 14 when she made that song.
That's pretty gross, pretty offensive.
But it's not that long ago, by the way.
This is a politically incorrect song that would never be written today.
How old is this song?
Like 10 years old?
Oh, remember back then in 2008 when we were totally different about stuff?
Yeah, this song is weird.
It's gross.
The age of consent in America is 18.
So what do you want to do about it, lady?
You want to ban it?
Remember, Bow Wow Wow would sing about that?
Louis Couture's is a song about Louis XIV falling in love with a 14-year-old.
And Annabella Lynn of Bow Wow Wow was 14 when she wrote it.
Weird, cool, interesting.
Lolita, I don't like pedophilia.
I like it in art.
It's bizarre.
Art's supposed to be weird.
Do you want to ban this song?
That's the other thing I don't get.
What's the agenda here?
What do we do to these songs?
We ban them?
Alright, go back to her ridiculous rants.
Gave's her senior, and knowing that she would go on to marry him, revisiting the song in retrospect is a little bit uncomfortable.
You can find me in the...
Well, they married.
They got married.
Oh, this is a good one.
Go ahead.
I'll be beating on my Tom-Tom.
Pull out the pipe and smoke your song and pass it around.
Tim McGraw is almost certainly not a Indian outlaw, half-child.
Almost certainly.
I didn't look it up.
I don't have Wikipedia at my house.
Just pause it here.
So this is a guy saying Indian stereotypes in the song.
He's an Indian chief.
They did beat on Tom-Toms.
They did smoke peace pipes.
And even if they didn't, who cares?
This goes back to this new obsession that millennials have and the left has.
You see this in Halloween a lot.
You may not dress as another culture or be another thing on Halloween because it's an appropriation.
So for Halloween, I can dress up in some of my various clothes that I have in my closet and I can be Gavin McInnes.
I think I could maybe be a cowboy.
You can sort of do stuff if you don't stray too far from the reservation, excuse the pun, but you're not allowed to be something you're not on Halloween.
That's what Halloween is.
It's called dressing up, not wearing your clothes.
You know what wearing your clothes is?
That's called Thursday.
That's not a special event.
You don't get candy from people when you show up at the door and go, ding-dong, I'm in my shirt and I have my pants on.
I'm me for Halloween.
The whole point of Halloween, and by the way, it predates Christianity and all of Western civilization, basically.
It's a fucking pagan holiday.
And it meant, I'm trying to trick the ghosts so they don't get me.
I'm going to disguise myself as one of them so they think I'm a monster too.
No, that's ghost appropriation and it's offensive to dead people.
So now Tim McGraw can't even sing a song as an Indian chief.
So he can only sing.
All these vocalists can only sing songs as themselves.
But he's a guy on stage.
Hey, I'm in a country band like that Bon Jovi song.
I'm a cowboy on the steel horse.
I'll ride.
Okay, so let's just listen to songs about touring every day, about sitting in a recording studio.
I don't want to listen to that.
you?
It definitely wouldn't explain all of the super lazy Lazy tropes.
Just stop.
That's the thing, too.
If you notice a stereotype, like say you have an Irishman and he has a glass of whiskey in his hand, that's a lazy trope.
It doesn't matter that it's true.
Braveheart was full of lazy stereotypes and tropes.
They depicted Scottish warriors wearing tartan and fighting the English.
Yeah, it's a stereotype.
It's a trope.
And it's also a historical fact.
This is like the Canadian Human Rights Commission in Canada, where you're not allowed to show something offensive, even if it's true.
They include hate facts in their hate speech.
All right, go ahead.
I really think so.
Turning Japanese literally about turning Japanese.
It's kind of unclear what it's about.
Look it up on Wikipedia, you f ⁇ .
It's about the protagonist taking pictures or being lost.
She hasn't even looked it up.
Whatever it is, it's not great.
And they probably, you know, this article, it says it was written by Patrick Ryan and her, Maeve McDermott.
She must be one of my people, which is disturbing.
But I don't think she did anything.
I think he did all the work, got all the lyrics together, and then they just sat her down in front of a camera and they had to get their chick numbers up.
So she just rants based on his notes.
She doesn't even know.
Turning Japanese is easy to look up.
Paul Joseph Watson did a video on this.
It's about how during adolescence, you're a different person.
You remember that?
When you were 14, you wake up the next day and you're tall or you have pubes.
I mean, every day it's like you're a different size.
Oh, now in a year, I've grown three inches.
That's weird.
It's like you're turning Japanese.
Remember Kirsten Dunce did a video of this recently?
It was like the most needless cover I've ever seen.
She's not even a musician, but she's dancing on Japan and she is using all the lazy tropes of the Japanese.
I think she got in trouble for this, actually.
And you know what Japanese people think when you do that?
When you dress up as Sailor Moon or you wear a kimono?
They think it's awesome.
They are flattered that you care about their culture because they're normal human beings over there.
They haven't been totally polluted by political correctness.
They just go, oh, you're in a kimono.
Actually, that's probably offensive doing that accent.
Thank you.
You lack our culture.
You look good in a kimono.
It's not offensive to notice things.
Noticing patterns that exist in the real world is not offensive.
It's called having eyeballs.
chose a little bit better wording on this one.
So even Mick Jagger knows the song is aged incredibly poorly.
He ends up.
Pause it for a sec.
Finally, finally.
This is a really intense song.
Hear him whip the woman just around midnight?
I didn't even know that song said that.
I always thought it was, you should have heard it just around.
So this song is about a plantation owner.
That's really dark.
Whipping women.
I don't even believe that there's a great Roll Jordan Roll, I think, a great book about the myths of whipping slaves.
Not that it didn't happen, but in modern times, we totally exaggerated the abuse that went on.
And I'm not justifying slavery.
But you don't just beat and rape some random slave of yours just for fun.
Her brother is on the same plantation.
He's got a pitchfork.
It's best just to grease the wheels and whip as little as possible.
All right, that sounds terrible like I'm justifying slavery.
But this song is offensive.
Singing a cool, groovy song about a plantation owner whipping slaves just around midnight is totally disturbing, offensive, bizarre.
But that's art.
I want to hear a song written from the perspective of Jack the Ripper.
I want to hear a song written by the perspective of Charles Manson.
That's why the Sopranos was so fascinating.
They had a disgusting, ruthless murderer, Tony Soprano, and you're watching it and it's a very difficult situation.
You end up kind of liking him, and you're disgusting it yourself for liking a murderer who cheats on his wife and has no scruples and fucking people over all the time.
That's art.
That's fascinating.
So like the Louis C.K. joke, this song has offensive lyrics and that is a crucial part of art.
What kind of world do you want to live in where every musician is coming from of Jesus-like purity and just talking about totally truthful things about his life?
You've just erased fiction from the entire canon of art.
Now everything is a documentary.
Go ahead.
Other band members have changed the lyrics in, you know, they performed it live.
Except, by the way, this is a pet peeve of mine.
Just stop for a second here.
This is a pet peeve of mine.
They say, look, it's true.
I'm right.
They even changed the lyrics.
No, no, you harassed them and made it so uncomfortable that they just went, fine, fine, I'll change it.
Like Starbucks, they go, the CEO even admitted that what they did was racist.
No, the CEO said that so you would leave him alone.
Just because people finally capitulate to your constant hounding and nagging doesn't mean your hounding and nagging was correct.
It just means you're so annoying that someone just said, fine, fine, I'll change it.
And by the way, that's what men are like when our wives say, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
We hate that sound so much.
We go, fine, fine, I'll go do whatever the thing is you're saying.
It doesn't mean that you were meant to vacuum in the basement.
It just means it's easier than putting up with you.
Go ahead.
You could point at any verse in this song and find something about rape, slave rape, beating women.
Yeah, by the way.
It's really.
It's called rock and roll.
It's supposed to have an element of danger.
I was looking at this book, this book on rebellion, and it had like bikers and it had punks and it was going back a half century of rebellion.
And there was a lot of swastikas with bikers and stuff.
And it wasn't like, I wanted six million Jews to die.
I'm really happy about it.
It had nothing to do with that.
It was just, here's an offensive symbol.
They were wearing swastikas in the 50s to freak people out.
Bikers were.
This is five years after the war.
So, you know, at Altamont, two people were killed in the audience at a Rolling Stones concert.
These people are watching their friends die of heroin overdoses.
There's going to be an edge in rock and roll.
Are you trying to take the edge out of rock and roll?
There should be an offensive song about a plantation owner in a song called Brown Sugar.
God damn it.
These people are smoking pot, drinking beer, and getting in fights.
That's rock and roll.
It's supposed to be rebellious.
this one What?
Island girl is the problem here.
The borderline fetishization.
Fetishization.
Just stop.
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
So it's fetishization that a black guy in the Caribbean wants this black girl to be with him and not some rich white tourist who's at a resort?
How is that racist?
He's saying, I like this black woman.
Please don't go with the rich white guy.
I want you on the island with me.
He's fetishizing her?
Or Elton John is writing it from the perspective of this kid on an island who likes a black girl.
This is why we have to protect them from themselves.
They're way more racist than us.
In their world, a black man cannot profess his love to a black woman on a Caribbean island.
Black prostitute who's living in the streets of New York City, although it's quite complements how she's making a living for herself, it's really uncomfortable to hear Elton John say about these issues.
I get it.
They're in New York.
White Savior probably should have never been made.
Yeah, never been made.
You see?
They are the new Puritans.
In their world, there's less art.
They are the new Victorians.
They want to hide dining room tables that are too ornate because it looks like buttocks.
They don't want you eating meat.
They're protesting restaurants like Antlers in Toronto because they depict meat eaters and that's too disgusting.
We want you only to eat salad, never break any rules, never notice any patterns, and no art.
This should have never been made.
Why don't you burn some books while you're at it, Nazis?
And by the way, just one more thing.
This island boy wants to rescue a prostitute from the streets of New York and bring her back to the Caribbean and marry her and love her and have babies.
You don't like that?
No, she's a sex worker.
Oh, okay.
Nice world.
Okay, so she's done.
She only does 18 of the 20 songs.
I'm not going to do all 20.
You're seeing a pattern here.
And the pattern here is clearly anti-art.
That's the only takeaway here, is that I have this new dictum called political correctness.
And here I am going through history and enforcing it.
And you know what we end up with?
Less stuff, less content, less songs for you.
Again, this is why liberals are losing because they take away stuff.
And young people are not interested in a world where you can't do rock and roll and you can't have an edge and no one's offended.
Offended, that's not fun.
That's what grandmas want.
All right, so I'll just do some of this.
This is Carl Douglas.
Now, I remember being a kid, I used to go to Scotland every year and you'd get beat up and you'd have to fight all the time if you liked the wrong soccer team.
Glasgow is a very violent place.
But for a while there in the 70s, Glaswegians were scared of anyone with an American accent.
Canadians were considered American because of kung fu.
And I remember them going, could you kill me with one touch?
And I remember saying, yeah, well, my instructor told me I could only use it as self-defense.
So I would never do that.
I would never kill you unless I felt my life was in danger.
I'm actually not allowed to use kung fu.
Kung fu was massive in the 70s.
Huge.
People thought it was magic.
And this song is clearly a testament to Bruce Lee and kung fu movies.
It's positive.
What's the offensive line?
See, this article lists offensive lines.
There was Funky Billy Chan and Little Sammy Chung.
Yeah.
Funky Billy Chan and Little Sammy Chung.
Totally normal Chinese names.
And then she says, or probably the dude who did all the work here, says, perhaps the song was just trying to celebrate the ancient art of Kung Fu.
Of course it was.
You think he's making fun of Chinese people?
Hey, Kung Fu.
I know it's the 70s and it's the most popular thing in the world, but isn't it gay?
Oh, I'm Sammy Chen.
Yeah, that's a great idea for a top 10 hit.
But she goes, it's lyrics about funky Chinamen from Funky Chinatown.
Chinamen wasn't an offensive word in 1974.
With stereotypically Asian-sounding last names.
Yeah.
They do have stereotypical last names.
There are a lot of chungs in China.
What's your beef here?
Again, they hate noticing patterns.
Everything has to start from scratch.
And if I find a piece of anecdotal evidence that contradicts your pattern, the whole pattern has to be flushed down the toilet.
Oh, women's ovaries are, you know, in danger from 30 to 35.
And after 35, it's very tough having a baby.
Oh, yeah, I know a woman who's 48 who had a baby.
Yeah, I know a guy named Evil Knievel who jumped over the Grand Canyon and a bunch of school buses.
Don't you do it.
That's not normal.
That's not what usually happens.
There's a pattern with riding your motorcycle over giant things and it tends to end in serious injury or death.
All right, this is getting tedious.
Should we do one more?
What's the next one?
What?
Oh my God, I'm having an effective.
Black and white should be together, like on my piano.
They need each other.
There is a synergy there with blacks and whites.
They're good people.
They have to work together.
Let's stop all this racial animosity.
Offensive!
You see what's really going on here?
Once again, the left hurts the people they purport to help.
They need conflict.
They need racism.
They need America to be a transphobic, ableist, racist, homophobic, Sexist hellhole because that's what they took in school.
It's their whole job.
It's why this woman, Maeve, has a job.
It's why USA Today is getting clicks.
They need this to be a cesspool of bigotry and they need to find bigots and call everyone a Nazi because that's their industry.
That's their philosophy.
That's their religion.
The fact that it's not true is totally irrelevant to them.
And the fact that it hurts the people, that it promotes racism, is also totally irrelevant to them.
So the irony here is that I'm an egalitarian, I'm an anti-racist, I'm a pro-gay, pro-women's rights individual, the same punk rocker I was when I was 18.
But now the Nazi skinheads I'm fighting are you social justice warriors!
Are you from France?
No, I'm from Denmark.
Why are there so many people here from Denmark?
Because of the Eastern.
Oh, I see.
Is it true you guys invented the pencil?
No.
What did you invent?
What did the Denmark invent?
I don't know.
Really?
You should have more patriotism.
Love your culture.
We invented the car.
It's a window.
It's a what?
The snow.
Oh, you invented snow?
Thank you for that.
Lady, that's not going to work.
It's got to get open.
Yeah.
Yo, it comes with instructions.
Check the instructions.
Mama was a potential queen in the hot water.
Tiana Lowe is an 8.6.
She's also the co-host of the show Political Pregame.
She writes for National Review Online.
She edits the USC Economics Review.
You can find her at thepoliticalpregame.com.
She's a youngster and a student, and I want to make fun of David Hogg for having a book out called Never Again.
That's right, the World War II reference to six million Jews.
He's similar, I guess, in his mind.
So I'm going to have, let's have Tiana handle it.
Tina, are you there?
I am here.
Tina, I want to criticize David Hogg, but he's a little boy who survived a school shooting.
And if you criticize him, you lose your job.
Could you do it for me, please?
Yeah, I mean, I guess it's fair game because I, too, am a student.
Okay, so all things, as a disclaimer, I blame the adults who are platforming him.
Obviously, he is, I believe, 17 or 18.
He's a high school senior, just went through a traumatic event.
Although it is questionable how many of the people in actual shooting that he does know, because I know that there have been a lot of students like Aiden Minoff and Kyle Kashyav on Twitter who have been very vocal about who they knew, who passed away, and were posting things from memorials.
And that wasn't really what David Hogg has been doing for the last few months.
Instead, David Hogg has been organizing marches and spending his time anchoring CNN, more or less, for the last two months.
And screaming at us.
He sounds like Hitler with his little grover arms in the air, screaming and yelling.
He sounds like a little fascist.
Well, I mean, I think he's that shot's a pretty good example of why you never skip Arm Day at the gym.
But okay, but realistically, I don't have a problem with these students who've just been through this traumatic event wanting to affect policy.
However, I do have a problem and they're obviously using it to achieve.
Sorry.
All they're doing is to achieve personal celebrity.
So you had Kyle Kashin, who was in the White House, met with everyone from Nancy Pelosi to Chuck Schumer to Donald Trump himself.
And, I mean, he was successful in basically ensuring that the Stop Violence Act made it into the omnibus spending package that was otherwise garbage, but he actually got something done.
Which is shocking.
It's shocking.
I'm sorry that you got shot at, but it's shocking that these guys are affecting policies.
David Hogg, I can't believe I'm even talking about him because he's a child, but David Hogg wants to abolish the Second Amendment.
I would say the vast majority of people who want gun control secretly want to abolish the Second Amendment.
Yet he's sitting down with policymakers because it's a great photo op and it's working.
That's the disturbing part.
Well, I'm just mostly disturbed by the fact that adults are just platforming him.
You know, you have someone like Brian Stelter at CNN, who's sort of supposed to be their media reporter, but also their personal ombudsman.
And he's openly at this point saying, yeah, we're having these kids on to discuss policy, but we're not pushing back on the factual inaccuracies they're saying when they're just throwing around terms like assault rifle without knowing what it means because they're kids.
You can't play it both ways.
You can't do the clown nose on, clown nose off routine.
It doesn't work like that.
Kids are stupid.
Yeah, no, and it's David Hogg.
I mean, it's like on the one hand, again, of course, I feel bad for him.
I feel bad that he had to go through this traumatic event.
On the other hand, he has made no effort to educate himself about gun control.
Guns, period.
I mean, he's obviously using this to raise his personal celebrity.
And now he's writing a book called Never Again.
Never Again.
So what I went through is pretty much the Holocaust.
Yes.
Yes.
He is equating a lone Derange shooter to one of the worst acts of systemic genocide in human history.
It really is shocking, isn't it?
It's disgusting.
It's disgusting.
And I'm more disturbed by the adults who are platforming this.
I think it's Barack Obama who wrote David Hogg and his cadre of left-wing seniors in high school.
Barack Obama wrote their time 100 most influential people blurbs.
So, all right.
I mean, good job, adults in the room for keeping this rational and adult conversation.
I mean, it's just, like, now there's going to be another march.
You know, I love how much coverage these marches, it's a march for our lives.
How much coverage does the march for life get?
Zero.
Tell me that.
Even though it has more people at it.
Even though no one is...
No one fights the pro-choice marches.
They fight the pro-life marches.
They ban pro-life women from the women's march.
They ban pro-gun people from all these Parkland things.
Yet the numbers still destroy their numbers.
The only way they can win is to rig the game.
And I think David Hogg, I'm starting to think he might be a victim in the sense that this little boy is being trounced around for show, and they give him a book deal, and they tell him to say this and tell him to say that.
And they're going to wear him out.
This is like the Gerber baby running the country, basically.
Yeah, no, I mean, they've let the inmates run the asylum, but worse than that, they're manipulating the inmates as, because here's the thing.
CNN anchors who are supposed to be objective reporters can't just come out and say, maybe the Second Amendment isn't a right.
Maybe it should be amended.
However, they can bring out a bunch of students and say, oh, we can't push back.
We can't push back because they're students.
Right.
So we're just going to let them speak as our proxies.
And it's funny because I think, I mean, I'm someone who's always considered myself open to the idea of restrictions that are still constitutional.
Like, for instance, the gun violence restraining order, which is something that Marco Rubio has been touting.
What is that now?
So the gun violence restraining order would be a bill where if you are a family member or roommate or immediate neighbor of someone who has demonstrated clearly violent and threatening behavior, that you can temporarily file an injunction that would remove their right to have a gun.
But it still is a court-ordered process, so there would be due process.
So it still maintains the assumption that you have a Second Amendment right to own a gun, but that you can lose that right if you demonstrate X behavior.
Now, that's something that I can get behind.
However, when we're beginning to question, but why would you need a gun?
I'm a woman who lives in south central Los Angeles.
I can explain to you many reasons why one would need a gun.
And then don't tell me that the conversation doesn't end with remove all weapons.
When you have in London, Sadiq Khan, the mayor, saying, why would anyone ever carry a knife?
There's no reason to ever carry a knife.
Leatherman.
Get rid of them.
Abolish Leatherman.
It's a ridiculous statement.
Steak like a hamburger.
I don't know.
Well, you know what else is going on here?
And you see this all over modern pop culture now in general, social media, where women, for example, will shovel all this crap over the internet fence and say, screw you, you're a bastard.
I hate you.
I want to control your life.
Then someone throws back at them and they go, hey, look, this landed on my head.
And David Hogg does it too.
He goes, I want to take away your guns.
I want to control your life.
I want to point my fists in the air like some sort of dictator.
And then when people go, screw you, boycott.
Let's boycott Laura Ingram.
Boycott investment firms that hold people's entire pensions.
Boycott them, boycott them.
And that's dangerous because the left isn't good at running their own asylum.
You know, when they abolish the patriarchy, they abolish capitalism.
They say, I want to take over.
We let them take over and they go, man, this is hard.
I'm scared.
So David Hogg is a threat in his wimpiness.
It's again, it's a clown no's on, clown no's off routine.
He dishes it, but he can't take it.
And quite frankly, obviously what Laura said on the show was wrong, but she apologized.
So what more do you want?
It was never about the apology.
And then like he refused to accept it.
He said, no, continue to boycott our show.
Well, she killed me one.
That other guy who talked about the hot poker up his ass in a jokey way was also fired.
You can't criticize David Hogg, but we can note that he personifies the trouble with the left.
And the trouble with the left is no substance, all show.
Yeah, no.
And again, it's like, what single reform does David Hogg want?
Like, if he could provide me a bill, I want this specific rifle removed from this specific population.
And here is why.
And you have to define it.
And I don't think that'd be an actual thing we could talk about, but instead, it's just, no, I just want another merch.
I want another 15 minutes on CNN.
Tiana, you just described not just David Hogg, but the entire left side of the spectrum.
No rules, just me, me, me, me, me.
Tiana, we're out of time, but thanks for coming on the show.
Of course.
Always a pleasure.
See you next time.
Breaking news, breaking news.
Toronto is the most diverse city in the world.
Just kidding, that's not the breaking news.
The breaking news is that terrorism is alive and well north of the border, and at least five people are dead after a rental truck smashed into them and killed them.
This technique of using trucks is something that radical Islam has been calling for globally.
It's published in all their magazines.
They want you to use trucks to kill people.
And Muslims are taking them up on their offer.
Now, why is this becoming a problem in Toronto of all places?
As I said last year, when your Muslim population is 10% or more, you have terrorism.
That's just the way it goes.
Toronto is at 8%.
And as it approaches and exceeds 10, it will approach and exceed more examples of terrorism.
You know, multiculturalism has a point.
Indians acquiesce into our culture and make for great immigrants.
South African farmers would make for great immigrants.
When they have the tenets of the Western world as parts of their belief, they thrive in the West, and we're happy to have them when they worship meritocracy and freedom.
When they come from the dark ages and they put Islam above everything else, including their own families, hence the honor killings, then they're not welcome.
So Toronto, wake up.
You have a Muslim problem and it's about to get a lot worse.
