Time Text
Oh, live from New York.
It's Get Off My Lawn with Gavin McGinnis.
*Music*
I remember wondering, could there be a light at the end of your tongue?
But I mellow start to the day.
Slowcore, that's Sun Kill Moon.
Great Sunday music.
I don't know why I'm playing it on Tuesday.
Tuesday night.
But Sun Kill Moon, I think he named himself after karate movies, kung fu movies.
He's really into MMA and fighting and stuff.
So it suits my black eye, which is still going strong.
But I highly recommend him.
Yeah, he's named after, he named himself after that.
A lot going on today, folks.
I'm a little annoyed with yesterday's show because I crammed that Slovenian into one second interview and didn't get to the rest of the news.
We didn't even talk about Korea yesterday, which is insane.
And what I find interesting about the reaction to Korea is the Never Trumpers and the Liberals wanting not just Trump, but America to fail.
And this really is a very telling time.
This one little case is a very telling example of what the left wants, and they want victory at all costs.
They're kind of like the South Africans in the sense that they know killing farmers is going to lead to a food shortage, but they'd rather burn the country to the ground so that they can have the power.
They prefer to have power over a pile of dog than to prosper and have the other side win.
It's fatalism, and it's very dangerous, and it's been going on for a long time.
I think Roseanne Barr kind of predicted this.
I know we're not supposed to discuss her name anymore because she made a dumb ape joke without realizing she was talking about a black person.
But I still think she's very funny and talented.
And I think she's a driven woman.
I think the purpose of her show, the new Roseanne show, was to help save America.
That's why she had her liberal sister that she fought with but ultimately loved.
And she had the trans kid and she had the black granddaughter.
She had the poor and she had the drug addiction.
She had a purpose to that show.
She's got plenty of money.
She wasn't doing it to get rich.
But her job was to help America, I think.
And the people, our enemies, don't want to help America.
They want America to fail.
Here's Roseanne on Kimmel way before the show even started.
Do you remember this poignant moment?
A lot of us, you know, no matter who we voted for, we don't want to see our president fail.
Right.
You know?
Right.
I know.
And yet we've seen it over again.
You want pants?
You want pants for the bringing president?
No, I don't want pants.
That's a beeping stone.
And she said, so she said, look, he won now.
He's the president.
Support him.
I remember Pat Buchanan.
When George W. Bush won, he wrote a compelling letter where he said, look, he's our president now.
He's not who we wanted.
And believe it or not, all conservatives are not unified.
And the paleocons, like Buchanan, hated neocons like G.W. Bush.
They didn't want a war in the Middle East.
But Buchanan said, look, he's our president now.
This is our country.
We want him to do well because we want America to do well.
So let's buckle down and unify and help this country be great.
But Roseanne was right.
We are seeing people who want sabotage.
Check out this clip of Bill Maher.
I meant to get to this yesterday, where he said he wants the economy to fail.
And by the way, isn't this such a globalist elite thing to say?
I got my country house.
I've got my walled-in garden.
I've got my long driveway where I can see you coming in with the camera.
So I don't care.
Let Rome burn over there.
I just want to win.
You can burn it all the ground.
I vacation in the north of France.
Check him out talking about how he wants the economy to crash.
That's ridiculous to me.
Can I ask about the economy?
because this economy is going pretty well.
Why are that?
It is going well.
Did you hear what he was about to say?
He goes, we have to face that.
He stopped himself, but he was going to say, guys, bad news.
Unemployment is at an all-time low, especially black unemployment, unfortunately.
But we have to face the facts that Trump is doing a good job.
I know it hurts.
And then the black guy goes, well, for now, for now, check it out.
Well, for now, for now, right.
That's my question.
Thank you.
That's my question.
I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point.
And by the way, I'm hoping for it because I think one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy.
So please bring on the recession.
Sorry if that hurts people, but it's either root for the recession or you lose your democracy.
I can sometimes hate watching that show, but I need to have a bourbon because it gets pretty intense.
I mean, your eyes start tearing with rage.
And this, by the way, is true of the never Trumpers on the right.
They also don't want Trump to fail.
Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize for absolutely nothing at all.
He had zero success globally.
He had zero success with peace.
Yet they gave him the Nobel Peace Prize because he's black, probably.
But Trump does this.
Kim Jong-un agrees to denuclearization.
We now have the first domino in the fall of North Korea and the opening of the border.
No one's done this before.
Look at this intense picture.
And what are the Never Trumpers like Rick Wilson do?
Check out this tweet.
Good lord, the grunting idiot triumphilism this morning from the MAGAs is utterly disconnected from any tangible deliverable result.
Yay, you got a photo op.
Big deal.
But if you scroll down, you see his followers.
And they just, there's so much hatred of them.
It's ironic they call us the hate side because they really just, they want suffering.
But at least we're running those provocative military exercises.
And then they make Trump look like Kim Jong-un in that picture.
Trump Kim?
I'm waiting for the plane carrying Ivanka Trump and Trump Jr. and their architects to land in North Korea to start building North Korean Trump Tower.
Watch for it.
And anyway, this just goes on and on and on of people bitching about Trump's success in North Korea.
Here's a perfect one.
It's like someone spiking a football when they get a first down on their 15-yard line.
I love it.
I'm not tired of winning.
And by the way, I count all of this winning.
Not just North Korea, but when Trump was late after Justin's stupid gender equality speech, that was also a fun win.
But they are exposing their true agenda, and it is destruction.
Creative destruction.
It's a thing.
Look it up.
And Thatcher smelled this rat a mile away.
Do you have that speech?
On the House, the opposition said to Thatcher, you need to address it.
Over the past 11 years, the gap between the top 10 richest people and the top 10 poorest people has widened.
And that is factually true.
But check out Thatcher's rebuttal to that silly point.
Mr. Speaker, all levels of income are better off than the wealth.
But what the Honorable Member is saying is that he would rather the poor were poorer, provided the rich were less rich.
That way, you will never create the wealth for better social citizens.
And such a policy.
Yes, he would rather have the poor poorer, provided the rich were less citizens.
He just said he would like to see the economy crash.
He would like to see the poor, poor.
And in a way, we're now more petty.
Like, that guy doesn't want the gap, but he still wants the country to do okay, right?
Bill Maher isn't saying that.
The new thing is sabotage.
We are at South African levels here of just hatred and vitriol.
Kill the boar.
Kill the Trumper.
Okay.
Also in the news, I didn't get to this yesterday, but this Tommy demonstration, there's actually a fake picture going around about it.
I don't know why they used the fake picture because the numbers were great.
But look at these crowds.
They were chasing cops.
And I love cops.
I even like British cops.
A lot of them don't like the fact that they have to chase Tommy and arrest Tommy and they have to ignore Muslim pedophiles.
A lot of them do seem to appreciate it.
But look at this unbelievable show of support for Tommy.
They're talking about 20,000 people.
And I'm sorry, cops, but you kind of made your own bet look someone has a beer in their hand.
you kind of started this mess child rape Thank
you.
Now, this isn't the type of show where we show gratuitous violence towards the police, but I think it's a unique case.
I think it's an exception to the rule.
An exception here is that you police have not been doing your job.
Now, maybe that's the fault of the mayor.
That's the fault of the establishment.
I mean, in Luton, where the Muslim population is at its highest in the country, and there's the most Muslim violence in the country, they have the smallest police force in the country.
And I think a lot of these cops went from not wanting to chastise and arrest and confront Muslims because they might be seen as racist, to just straight up fear.
I mean, if you arrest an Imam in Luton right now, his entourage will come to the station and beat up the police.
The Muslims in Luton run Luton.
And the white flight from that town is just shocking.
Yeah, here's the crazy part.
No, no, go back.
Look at them.
They're chasing cops down the street.
This is like Venezuela or something.
Now, we don't like seeing our boys in blue being attacked, but just to show you the context here, and I'm obviously not going to show you a child being raped, but when that happens to the tune of hundreds, many as young as 11, 12.
And by the way, these Muslims, the only people they're not raping is Muslims.
They're raping white kids and Sikhs and Hindus and black kids.
One of the worst cases was two 11-year-old Sikh girls.
So we can all come together in racial unity against Muslim rape.
But do you see the thing I just emailed you when I was looking at my computer?
It's called Whistling Cop.
So this is the kind, this is where the police are being sent.
They're wasting all their time on hate crime hoaxes and LGBT outreach.
Like, what the hell?
It's 2018.
It's almost illegal to be straight in Britain.
Look at this cop.
This sums it up.
Woo, here's a stripe.
I've got a stripe.
Let's give you a dot on your note.
No, I don't want to.
Oh, sad cop clown with a gay flag in his hat.
Yay!
I'm here.
I'm queer.
Get used to me.
I want to draw rainbows on you.
Yay!
What are they doing?
How much...
Isn't homophobia...
It's like Archie Bunker used to say, England is a fag country.
England is a fag country.
So, yeah, chase the cops.
And then show that Breitbart article.
So, the whistling cop is one thing that's annoying, and it's not annoying because we're homophobes.
It's annoying because this is what the police are doing, reaching out to people who don't need to be reached out to.
They're a perfectly normal, accepted group in British culture.
Police defend thousands of hours spent investigating hate incidents amidst crime epidemic.
And it's not just child rape.
Their crime rate, despite being a fraction of our size, is now just as big as us.
And we've got Crips and Bloods and DDP Dominicans Don't Play and Latin Kings and biker gangs.
And we've got a murder a day out in Bushwick in East New York.
And these guys are in the same boat as us without guns, by the way.
They've got acid attacks.
They've got knife attacks.
And the police are out there whistling, putting LGBT stripes on everyone.
Why?
Do I have to be gay now?
Kiss a dude on National Gay Day and going to people's homes and threatening them and arresting them for having racist tweets or seemingly racist tweets.
These tweets are never bonafide racist tweets.
All right, we crossed that off the list.
How are we doing for time here?
Let's just briefly talk about, oh, we'll get to Vice in a second, but Anthony Bourdain.
Now, I don't like to speak ill of the dead, but it is true that he talked, he was seen as a cool rebel and he went against the grain.
But why was his rebellion accepted and others not accepted?
Well, mostly because he was very left-wing.
His rebellion was left-wing.
I hung out with him a bunch of times.
I did a show for Travel Network called American $0 a Day and had lunch with him a few times, and we did what we call the upfronts.
My show got canceled because unfortunately the owners of Travel Scripps Googled me and that didn't turn out great.
Thanks, by the way, everyone out there who wrote lies about me.
It cost me money.
You won.
But anyway, I remember him saying he would like to cut Sarah Palin's skin off.
Now, he was a very dramatic and hyperbolic guy, but that just pissed me off because this was back during the election when Sarah Palin was John McCain's VP choice.
And that was not uncommon.
The kind of sadistic things New Yorkers would talk about Sarah Palin, how they wanted to stab her in her vagina, using much harsher language, of course.
And then Anthony really got into the details of removing her skin slowly by like boiling it off and peeling it in long strips.
He also said, well, I talk about this with Josh Denny, but he hated white people, you know, banned them from events and said that we need to abolish the white race.
Literally, he said that.
And I'm just surprised that Asia Argento, we're so delicate with women and they can do no evil.
If these roles were reversed, like remember Jim Carrey's girlfriend killed herself because he dumped her and gave her an STD?
Or Mick Jagger, that designer, she hanged herself when Mick Jagger dumped her?
And Mick and Jim Carrey were vilified for that.
Asia Argento was cheating, purported to be, allegedly cheating on Anthony with his best friend.
You know what I saw today in the paper?
It's right here, actually.
There was the photographer who took pictures of her cheating on Anthony Bourdain.
He's apologizing.
Fotog offers his regrets.
Reno Barolari, the paparazzo who caught Asia Argento dancing in a Roman restaurant with French reporter Hugo Clement, regrets he took the photos and sold them to Chi in Italian magazine.
How dare he document someone cheating?
Because it led, it's his fault that Anthony Bourdain killed himself, not Asia Argento.
And now, I don't know the exact details of this rape with Harvey Weinstein.
There she is.
That's his best friend.
And she's out there with Rose McGowan talking about suicide prevention.
Hey, you want to talk suicide prevention?
Don't f ⁇ your boyfriend's best friends.
It tends to make them kind of blue.
It tends to make an already depressed man morbidly despondent.
Thank you, Asia.
And here's another thing, by the way.
Sorry.
So she did a talk at Cannes recently and said, this is where Harvey Weinstein raped me.
Why did you not press charges?
If you let a man rape you and then don't press charges and you get a movie roll out of it, you are not a victim.
You are an expensive prostitute.
And what's worse, you are responsible, at least partly, for his future sexual assaults, his future rapes, because you let a rapist out on the street.
If I get robbed, someone breaks into my home, and then the thief goes, can I just give you $100 and you don't call the cops?
Okay.
Now my neighbor gets robbed by the same guy.
I was part of that robbery.
I helped facilitate that robbery.
We're so delicate about criticizing women that we can't recognize that Asia Argento may have been responsible for Anthony Bourdain's death and also may have some responsibility in Harvey Weinstein's future rapes.
Post her.
If someone rapes you, go to the cops.
Very simple.
We got laws.
We've been working on this since the Magna Carta.
We're really good at putting bad guys in jail, but you have to tell us first.
We need to know.
And it looks like he's finally getting it.
All right.
Last topic, vice.
Vice is trending.
New York Mag just did a big involved piece in it.
You can see a picture of me when I was a little kid.
No, not a little kid.
Just keep scrolling down.
It's okay to show a scroll, Dave.
I took that picture.
There it is.
That's me when I was what?
We were news print then, so I would have been 25.
That was in our bathroom.
We used to live in a loft, and the office was in the loft, too.
And we would make the magazine there and sleep by our desks.
We built a wall with some drywall and two by fours.
It was not very professional because I did it mostly myself because he was away on business.
So I was putting up drywall.
Anyway, that's boring.
And the article just talks, basically, it says that Vice is a house of cards.
Shane is a liar.
This is the article saying that, by the way, I signed a non-disparagement clause, as all executives do when they sell their shares.
And it says, Vice was never worth billions, and that's all a lie.
It just keeps getting investment, investment, investment without going public.
And then eventually, like a pyramid scheme, someone looks under the curtain and goes, there's nothing here.
You don't have any viewers.
You get 60,000 people watching your show.
All your iClicks on the internet are fake spam bots.
Why are we investing money in there?
That's the thesis of the article.
That's not me saying that.
But at the very end, the writer says, no one's lost money on this deal yet, although he indicates otherwise in the article.
It's a very sort of meandering long economic piece that should probably be in Forbes or something.
But at the end, he implies that it's a Bernie Mano situation, but the wall hasn't collapsed yet, and the House of Cards hasn't fallen down yet.
They get into sexual harassment, and they also say, we're not sure what splits old vice and new vice.
Yeah, I wonder what it could be.
Could it be that in 2008, the man who did all of the content, wrote all of the jokes?
Oh, thanks, Dave.
Let's focus on that.
Did you just do that?
Yeah, I was highlighting that part.
Thank you for that.
Did all the jokes, wrote the do's and don'ts, did the design, chose the covers.
I did everything but music and Sarouche as a gift, a magical ear with music.
And then after I sold my shares, Shane, who had never gotten involved in content before, he was all sales, suddenly took over content.
And guess what happens when that happens?
You end up with more sales-oriented content.
And there's all this stuff about the, they had a joke in there.
It's the 22 rule.
You hire a 22-year-old, you pay him 22 grand, and he works 22 hours a day.
That was all after my time.
But some twat said, founded by a white supremacist, long history of sexual harassment, all this other stuff.
And even the writer, who by the way is Jewish, chose, he said, Gavin's noxious brand of humor and saying things like, I'm becoming anti-Semitic led to him being a financial liability to the brand.
There's definitely some truth to me, my idea of content becoming a financial liability to where Weiss wanted to go.
They definitely wanted to go much cleaner, but I don't think that it was necessarily my noxious brand of humor.
Anyway, I just find it interesting that he chose I'm becoming anti-Semitic as a line.
I actually sent him a lawyer letter.
I think I'll sue him.
Because that was from a joke from when I was in Israel and I was talking about how my tour guide is annoying and said, I'm becoming anti-Semitic.
But they choose that line.
And the thing is, all of these false allegations, they pile up on each other.
And then the next time someone says, hey, you're a Nazi, they have all this evidence that's all fake news.
That's why these propagandists, these liars, this is how they operate.
They took Bigfoot chasing in school, which is there's Nazis everywhere.
And then they get jobs in Huffington Post and Slate and these silly irrelevant blogs like Daily Beast.
And their expertise is Bigfoot, Nazis.
So they see me and they go, Nazi.
And I go, I'm a white supremacist and I started Vice magazine.
First of all, Saroosh Alvi technically started Voice of Montreal and then he hired me and then I hired Shane.
So it was started by a Pakistani man who speaks fluent Urdu and he decided to hire a white supremacist.
By the way, a race-mixing white supremacist.
Like, I'm going to talk to Josh about this, but it really is willful ignorance.
These people want Nazis so bad, they wear Nazi glasses, and they turn a blind eye to all of the evidence and just focus on the few hairs that you could possibly lay together and maybe make a swastika.
It's pathetic.
It's a pathetic worldview based on a myth.
And the evidence against this idea of Nazis lurking around every corner just keeps getting thrown in their face.
And then they just keep upping the ante and lying more and more and more.
Why?
Because they want America to fail and they want to take over.
They want power.
And if they have to lie and cheat and steal and destroy to get there, they will do it.
Let's talk to a comedian about this who someone tried to destroy his life by taking his jokes out of context, pretending they were serious racial dictums against the slanties of the world and the blacks, and tried to ruin his life.
Josh, are you there?
Here.
Now, I like to dress like my guests, and this is the first time I've been able to bust out a brown t-shirt.
Yeah.
Where'd you get a brown t-shirt?
I didn't know they make them.
I have one.
I just have it in my closet.
I have a bunch of plain t-shirts, and that's just what I grabbed today.
Brown, well, the only time I've seen a brown shirt is from The Orphans in that movie, The Warriors, and I always thought it's a good look, a brown t-shirt.
Yeah.
Well, you know, when you have red hair, you can pull off a lot of otherwise sh ⁇ looks.
It makes you look really poor.
Yeah.
Maybe that's what I'm going for now.
The poor look.
Yeah.
A brown t-shirted person has no food in the cupboard because he can't afford it.
And it's very rare, of course, Americans are actually poor.
In fact, our biggest problem in America is our poor eat too much.
But about once every four years, you find someone who doesn't have money for food.
Yeah.
Well, the cupboards are behind me.
I almost opened them up to show how bare they are, just to really lend to the whole look.
But you had a show on Food Network, Ginormous Food, so you must have some money.
Yeah, it went okay.
I mean, the thing I think people don't realize is that, you know, cable TV isn't what it is today, or today isn't what it was in the 80s.
Nobody's getting millions of dollars off of, you know, cable television shows.
What did you make per show?
About 4,000 an episode.
Wow.
And how many episodes would you shoot, like one a week, or would you do two?
No, we did about one a week.
It was sort of, we did three over about 10 days.
So each day was a segment.
We did three segments per episode, and then it was, you know.
Now, someone with an attractive silhouette named Babs wants you to be fired.
Wanted you to be fired.
And it was for seemingly racist tweets.
Now, we've got some of them here.
Shall we go over them?
Sure.
Let's get into it.
Okay.
I'm trying to watch the BET Awards, but the audio is lagging behind the broadcast.
Way to be late for everything, blacks.
I asked my girlfriend while shopping, candle shopping, what the cotton one smelled like, and she said, home for blacks.
You called her a soulmate after that.
Still together.
I guess blacks would like the humidity, right?
It keeps them moist and not ashy.
And then you quote Sunny in Philadelphia.
How do you know blacks don't have bread in those speakers?
Now, here's what I'm noticing about this outrage from those tweets.
They know that you don't genuinely think blacks are late for everything.
Right.
It's like we live in this world where comedy never existed.
Right.
Yeah.
And that we don't understand sarcasm at all.
And also that we don't understand a tweet that's just quoting a line from a TV show.
Yeah, that's your fault now.
Yeah, it's on me.
Because you liked it.
But the idea, like, can you imagine the IQ of someone who's like, these goddamn blacks are light forever.
I heard even their audio through their microphone is light.
Like, that guy does not exist.
Yeah, you'd have to be so dumb.
Like, I was on a podcast many years ago where we joked about the idea of how dumb you would have to be to watch Django and be like, you know, this DiCaprio guy is making good points.
Like, you're watching a documentary.
Like, it's so absurd that clearly a smart person would go, oh, that's just to create the dynamic of good and evil in a movie.
Nobody believes this stuff.
Well, it's also, I mean, if you really analyze it, which we shouldn't be doing, because comedy is not meant to be analyzed.
It's more like those jokes are more like punk.
Like, it's just meant to be raucous and noisy and make you go, buh.
Yeah.
But so to analyze it is silly.
But if they're forcing us to, and I would say it's actually a parody of racism.
Right.
As I think is everything that I do.
Like one of the ones that really circulated was the Washington Redskins tweet.
And to me, if you read that in a voice of somebody on Weekend Update, you get the idea that I'm taking down the racism of the owner.
The fact that he put his foot in the ground and said, I'm never changing the name.
And I was like, oh, well, wouldn't it be funny if he just made it even more racist than it already is?
And the idea that people want me to apologize for something they don't understand.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm never going to do it.
Never.
Well, that's what they want, though.
See, they're the new Victorians.
And what they do is they pretend.
So it's willful ignorance.
They pretend they don't get the joke.
But the real thrust here is you're using salty language like slanty.
Right.
Like you said, hey, Asian lady at the pool, close your legs.
I don't want to slanty pussy.
Now, she knows that you don't literally think that vaginas go sideways.
And no one's thought that since 1921.
Right.
So, and we know she knows that, right?
So the real beef is the word slanty.
And the beef with that word is you're using rude language.
And you should be fired from your job for using rude language.
Like it's crazier than Victorian England.
Right.
Well, the thing that I think is funny, too, is that like, if you look at the dates of all these tweets, they go back, you know, almost 10 years that people dug to find these things.
It's not like I just started doing this kind of comedy yesterday.
Like, this is what I've built my whole career on.
And as mediocre as anyone might think that is, it's at least I'm consistent in what I do and what I'm trying to do.
Well, that's also like all those black ones I read out.
I don't know how, oh, they go over three years.
Right.
But the date is a very soft, sort of a gray tone, and the text is bright white.
So you're seeing like, it looks like all this guy does is talk about the blacks.
Right.
So it creates another dynamic.
The funny thing, too, is like you could find as many tweets in my history on white people and stupid things white people do, but nobody's looking for that because that's not, that's nothing to be outraged over.
Well, I remember, do you know Pax Dickinson?
He was a computer programmer, and he said, it was a tweet something like, and don't censor this because it's relevant to the story.
He said, in other nudes, in other news, Mel Gibson was raped by a pack of niggers on his way to the blah, blah, blah.
I'm not doing it justice, but this was during the news cycle where Mel Gibson was caught saying that about his ex-wife.
You walk around a mini scared, you're going to get raped by a pack of niggers.
So Pax was clearly referencing that and lampooning Mel Gibson's racist vernacular.
But someone dug it up four years later, took it out of context.
Mel Gibson part wasn't even there.
And he lost his job.
And you know what ended up happening to him?
He wasn't a very political dude.
It has politicized him and sent him way farther right than he never ever would have been because he lost his job, had to start a new career, and he ended up kind of getting alt-righty.
Yeah, well, I think it's an interesting thing, right?
When I went on Van Lathan's podcast, I kind of brought that up of this thing that the left is doing right now with identity politics where the outrage comes from the complete desire to ignore context, right?
Like the rape joke that everybody shared, and they go, this is brutal.
And it was a screenshot of a deleted tweet.
And the reason that tweet got deleted was because it was part of a thread before there were threads on Twitter of me and about three or four other comedians in Vegas going, what are the worst possible rape jokes we could ever come up with?
And we were just like, we're just riffing.
And we used to use those.
We used to use Twitter back in the day, like sort of like a writing workshop of like, let me put this out and see how, let me see how many angry comments I get about this.
And so it was, you know, it was to be Shocking and jarring, but it wasn't serious.
And I love the idea that people take these tweets and they go, These are his manifestos.
This is what he believes in.
Like, this is this guy's the new Hitler, which is like the, you know, the thing everybody loves to say.
And I think that's why you see so many people getting pushed over to the right or to the alt-right, why Donald Trump won is because people are going, listen, if your side is just going to ignore context about everything, then you can't be reasoned with about anything.
Well, they also, they call you a white supremacist based on rumors or, you know, innuendo.
And the next thing you know, like your family's in danger or you're in danger.
Like we had this Night for Freedom recently that actually Chelsea Manning doxed.
And no, no, sorry.
This Vic Berger guy doxed it and Chelsea Manning went there and brought Antifa.
And these Antifa guys got a hold of some dad, strangled him, punched him, knocked him to the ground, gave him a heart attack.
He had to be rushed to the hospital.
And then the cops go to arrest this guy.
He starts fighting the cops, puts a cop in a headlock.
So he's looking at like attacking a police officer and attempted murder.
And in a way, that Antifa guy is also a victim because this crazy narrative that there's Nazis everywhere has led to these low IQ lunatics thinking they're preventing the next Holocaust by beating up this guy and this guy getting beat up.
So you have the dude in the hospital and the idiot Antifa who's facing 15 years, both victims of this stupid, made-up, crazy narrative that there's all these Klansmen around trying to start World War III.
It's insane.
It's scare tactics and it just works people up into a frenzy who are too dumb to read beyond the second sentence of any article or anything that they look into.
And yeah, it's pretty insane to think that that's the stuff that's getting covered.
And I do a joke in my act about the concept of being on the right side of history.
Everybody thinks they're on the right side of history until they're written into history.
Hitler.
He's convinced he's on the right side of history.
Yeah, he's like, guys, listen, we all agree, right?
Like, I used to do a bit back in the day where I would say, like, Hitler was probably just an open mic guy.
He was like, I got some funny stuff about the Jews.
Let me go out on this balcony and see if any of these bits work.
And then he came off just shocked, like, oh, no, dude, they're making the uniforms.
Like, they didn't know that was.
Guys, I didn't mean it like that, but I guess now we're on our way.
You know, so it's like the idea that everything is just to be taken as seriously as the next is it's a scary place to be in society.
Well, it's, you know, reading your tweets, like I'm obsessed with the one, hey, Asian lady at the pool, close your legs.
We don't want to look at your slanty pussy.
That's just so stupid.
And it reminds me of how we, you know, we used to joke around and how we still joke around when we feel like it's safe in bars.
And it's just like, that's what pure comedy is.
It's so sort of, I don't know what the word is, clunky and dumb and ofish.
And I sound like I'm insulting you here, but I really mean like that's that's the nature of fun.
It's just stupid.
It's jumping off a roof into a pool with a beer in your hand.
Yeah.
Well, sometimes to poke fun at ignorance, you have to play ignorant.
Right.
And to me, that's the fun of comedy.
That's that's and there's so many comedians that have done that historically.
I mean, like, I wanted to go through the list when people were going, oh, you should never use the N-word.
I go, listen, if you want to fire every white comic that's used the N-word, I'm at the back of a very long line going back about 20 years.
Right.
And most of them are black.
Yeah, well, that's true.
But there are plenty of white ones.
David Cross, Louis C.K. I mean, you know, I remember Kurt Metzger had a bit where right after the Boston bombing, and he's talking about the Sarnev brothers.
And he's standing there on stage, and he goes, am I the only guy who, when he heard that, he went, dinosaurs did this to us?
And it made me have one of those like spit takes because playing a guy who thought Sarnevs were a type of dinosaur is fucking hilarious.
But these people, and these people know that, right?
But that woman, Babs, trying to get you fired, she knows that slanty pussy, whatever, isn't a thing, but she's doing it for power because they want to have power over us and they want to be able to get us fired and get us ostracized and make us feel unsafe so they can be the arbiters of freedom.
Yeah, I agree.
And I tweeted something over the weekend.
I was kind of in this rant of self-reflection and I said, like, when we start to apologize for jokes, we start to apologize for words or negotiate language, we're negotiating the terms of surrender, not of freedom.
We're not making compromises that make us more free.
We're surrendering those freedoms for other people's comfort.
And I said this a million times, different podcasts and things.
The discomfort in my life in every scenario has created the most amount of growth in my life.
Any situation I've ever been thrust in that's made me uncomfortable has made me have new perspective, has made me grow up and mature.
And so I try to create that energy in comedy so that the audience walks away and isn't challenged to think differently, but to question how they think through things, to question, you know, well, wait a minute, why am I okay with one kind of racism versus another kind of racism?
Or why am I against homophobia, but so unwilling to understand pedophilia?
It's not about endorsing anything.
It's about making you question as human beings, why do we rationalize one thing versus the other?
It's sort of like, why is the totalitarian racism against white people now super accepted versus everything else, right?
Like you seem convinced it's about power.
Like even the trans thing with the names, I saw this debate with Jordan Peterson and some trans woman from New Zealand.
And she says, she says, why?
Look, it's not that hard.
One trick you could do is just have the name in the phone and then it'll say their pronouns and you just have a look at your phone.
And she goes, it's just a matter of being a decent person.
And that's the lie they say to gain power.
Like whenever you meet me, could you curtsy?
What?
It's just a curtsy.
You just go like that.
How hard is that?
It's just being a decent person.
You're like, okay, fine.
Curtsy.
And then it's a curtsy and then it's a pronoun and then it's no jokes and then you're fired.
And the next thing you know, you're a slave to these new Victorians, these Puritans.
Yeah, I like that phrase.
We are going back into a Puritanical place when it comes to language and speech and ideas.
You know, I shared clips of Carlin's bit about language when all this happened, and people said, Well, you can't really use that because we're in a different time now.
And I go, Actually, if you watch the clip, we're in the exact same time now.
And everything that he predicted came true.
He said, It's getting worse, we're becoming bigger pussies with language, and eventually you're not going to be able to say anything.
And so, guys like him, and I think guys like me have to take up the mantle and being willing to fight to the death to do so.
Yeah, it's amazing that they go in the past and say, no, it's a different time now.
Yeah, that's bad.
We should be getting freer and cooler and less uptight.
Not more uptight.
That's terrible.
So what we're running out of time here.
Actually, we've gone way over because you're such a chatty Kathy.
What was the ramifications of all this?
What was the fallout?
The only real fallout was that I got dropped by my agency, which wasn't surprising out of this whole thing.
But that was really it.
I mean, the positive ramifications have been I think it's attracted a lot more people that are into the kind of stuff that I do.
And what I told my agents when we had that conversation was, I didn't pick up a microphone 11 years ago to be the next Guy Fieri.
So if that's what they were hoping I would conform to and become, they picked the wrong guy.
You know, I picked up a microphone to be a comedian and to do the kind of comedy I want to do.
And that's what I'm going to keep doing.
So will you ever get a food show again?
I don't know, man.
Maybe if anything becomes more punk rock again, who knows?
But it's so interesting when the Anthony Bourdain thing happened, everybody talked about how he marched to the beat of his own drum, and then everything in society is us telling people they're not allowed to do that anymore.
Well, he said that white people are horrible.
He didn't invite them to certain events, no white people events.
He said the only future for world peace is when there's no more white people and we're all one sort of cappuccino color.
So that kind of rebellion is cool.
We like that kind of stuff.
But saying slanty pussy, you need to be fired.
Well, thank you for fighting the good fight.
And it's insane that we have to choose such a strange battleground, making a funny quip.
But if that's the line in the sand they draw, Orwell said, within every joke is a tiny revolution.
And I'll fight to the death for my right to joke around with my friends.
Well, the thing that I thought was the most funny was in the Van Lathan podcast where I asked him about dark jokes.
And he said, well, I make horrible jokes about other races and women and stuff in tiny little groups with my friends via like group texts.
And I was like, so you agree that these things are funny, but the difference is I'm a comedian and you're not.
I don't understand why you think one is okay and the other one is not.
He's like, well, you put it into public and that's not okay.
I was like, no, that's what being a comedian is.
That's your job.
That's like saying I make certain meals for my family, but I don't put them out there the way you do, professional chef who works at a restaurant.
Right.
Right.
All right, man.
Well, thanks for coming on the show.
I like you more than a friend.
Thanks for having me.
I appreciate it.
Thanks, Gavin.
Bye.
This is a sad video.
Some people are occasionally down on their luck and they're forced out of their homes.
And what they do is they build a safe, neat, tucked away little encampment that has maybe a food preparing area and then a little side table with a novel, maybe the Bible, and then not that the Bible's a novel, and then a modest cot.
It's an encampment.
It's where a person lives for a while while they're getting their life back together.
And then these evil, rich white men come along and destroy it because they hate the poor.
And we have a video of that.
Let's roll the tape.
There's this nice encampment.
I think the bad guy, the jogger there, that's the evil white man.
I think he's in the living room of the encampment now.
Look at that.
How is that?
The reason I'm being sarcastic, by the way, is because the article, the link for this talked about man destroys homeless man's encampment.
And look, they're all yelling at him.
It's garbage.
You can't own garbage.
This man at Lake Merritt, that Lake Shore Apenneau.
Look, they're so mad at him for wanting to clean up a mentally ill person's garbage pile.
God, we're so politically correct.
This is in Oakland, by the way, which is just a complete total and utter sh ⁇ .
Look at that.
He's got crap in the water.
Did our buddy throw it there?
That's not really helping, dude.
You need contractor bags to clean up.
Where's he going?
So someone wants to clean up their park, and the politically correct liberal view is that this is a nice man's home that's being vandalized.
What do you want me to do?
No, a jogger's in good shape, and he wants his park to look nice.
God, I hate liberals.
This goes back to the whole thrust of the whole show.
Liberals want destruction so they can win.
And they don't care if it makes the park look disgusting.
The park being all of America.
And some of us are trying to get in shape and get the country in shape.
