Time Text
You better believe I'm back back in a New York groove.
I interviewed Paul Stanley once and I mentioned that song and I go, wow, back in New York Groove is a real hit.
I was kind of fucking with them.
It was at my in like 08 when I was getting sick of talking to celebrities.
And he was pissed.
He goes, yeah, well, it's an okay song.
He said, you know, when you have a song and you include the name of the city in the song, that song is always popular in that city.
I said, well, it's pretty popular all across the country, Paul.
I wonder if when that album came out, they went, holy fuck, Ace is talented on his own.
Weird looking dude.
He looks kind of normal now, but I saw a picture of him in that Kiss and Tell book, and the makeup had done something to his pores.
He had like moon craters.
Yeah, crater face.
Really freaky looking dude.
And a brutal drug addict, I believe, judging by the way he behaved in interviews.
No, not Paul Stanley.
He's free.
Why'd you look at it?
I was trying to look for your interview with him.
Was it on print?
It's on like street carnage podcast bullshit.
Ooh, he's sexy there.
He looks kind of like you, like a little rice ball.
Yeah, he does look rice ball-ish.
Yeah, that.
You can see his face is kind of shitty.
He's got some Fred Armison rice on him.
What's his background?
That's a good question.
Front page of the post, cough it up.
White House, pay cash to Americans as flu shot.
We haven't been suffering that bad, have we?
That we need $1,000 each?
$1,000 times $331 million?
What's that?
$33 trillion?
It's probably a lot.
Oh, look, Naked Cowboy.
Naked Cowboy in pics.
I saw Naked Cowboy this morning.
I thought we should go interview him.
And then I thought, eh, he talks to 700 people a day.
He's the last person I want to fucking get close to right now.
Can we just get that mic a little closer to you?
Yeah, it's okay.
It's okay.
I just want to get that closer.
It's okay.
Just a little closer to you.
You know what we should do is later on in the show, just go outside and film New York.
Because people keep texting me and saying, what's Manhattan like?
Yeah.
And it is underpopulated.
So we'll get to that.
But before we do, St. Patrick's Day came and went.
No one cared.
That used to be one of my favorite days of the year.
Such a great time to party in New York.
Although pissing is like half of the journey of St. Patrick's Day in New York.
But the parade was canceled.
My wife, I invited Ryan over to my house.
I'm not sure that's for Boaten or not.
What?
Well, we're socializing.
We're not supposed to socialize.
Oh.
Why?
And when you were coming up to my front door, there was a dude staring at you.
And this could all be in my head, but I sort of felt like him going, oh, great.
Not only is my neighbor socializing, he's socializing with Chingx.
This is doubly irresponsible.
I should have just had a coronavirus hoodie on or something.
Because I looked back at him and we had sort of a like a, yes?
Like I was doing my face and he was sort of doing his, I'm not going to look away face.
Could be because I'm a fascist.
You never know.
But was your shit green today?
I didn't look at the color of my shit.
You should always check the viscosity of your stool.
Mine was green from all those green beers we had.
I had, yeah, just two.
Two will probably do it, though.
My wife loves Ryan Katsu Rivera.
I do not get it, but her face just lights up when he comes over.
She's pleased as punch.
If our marriage is going rocky, I just bring a Ryan over.
She's good for a week.
I should cook for you guys again.
Remember the one time I made kimchi stew?
That was pretty dope.
Whatever makes my wife happy.
All I care about in life is my wife's well-being and her opinion of me.
That's all.
My friend come up to me.
Hey, what are you doing, Ronnie?
I go fuck off.
Oh, that's Ronnie.
Yeah.
I don't care about anything.
Give me Amazon now.
I don't care.
Amazon now.
Stupid.
Everyone is so stupid.
How did the internet make us more stupid?
There's just boxes and boxes and boxes everywhere.
Asians are really into being smart.
And so when you say stupid, the whole audience collapses.
Because stupid also means like frivolous and overly emotional.
And to Chinese people, it means not just low IQ, but like irrelevant.
So when you say that being so stupid, God, they cry.
They cry because the relationship's over.
It's so stupid.
Is that racist?
Yes.
Race is very politically divided right now, right?
A lot of things here.
Right now.
No matter what topic you bring up, you kind of reduce it back to politics a lot, which eventually we could all do with taking a step back from race every once in a while and just talking as human beings.
Where's him getting angry?
Oh, wait, there we go.
I think we need more Asian.
Down my esophagus with a stick and then pull the feces out of my anus for me now.
Mikey.
So yeah, Ryan came by and we had corned beef, which is so fucking good.
Yes.
And cabbage and green beer and boiled potatoes.
Boiled potatoes are whatever.
They're just, they're great, but you don't really think about them much.
But very farty night.
And then we put my youngest to bed because I knew he wouldn't be Ready for this, but my elder two kids and Ryan and my wife watched the perfect coronavirus movie.
I could not recommend this enough.
It is, what's it called?
Color out of space.
Color out of space.
Holy shit, is it good?
Now, I don't want to ruin anything, but I secretly harbored resentment for the female lead, the young girl you just saw at the beginning.
But that's my own personal beef.
She just seemed to LA accuracy.
And of course, the black guy has to be the cool, smart one.
And the dad is kind of a moron.
So you got to get past those.
But otherwise, it's about a family that just moved to the country and everything's great until a meteor lands.
Blew up.
Big flash.
Like a fake stuff crap.
I don't even know what color it was.
It wasn't like any color I'd ever seen before.
Looks like a meteorite.
You never seen purple before?
Black people love wearing purple.
Compliments their skin.
Meteorites are generally no more dangerous than ordinary locks.
Who's he?
How can something that bitch just disappear?
Did you plant those?
No.
It's booby.
Come here for a sec.
Oh, God.
What are you doing?
Shh.
He's talking to me.
Who's talking to you?
That was a weird scene.
Sure was.
We never saw her turn off the tap.
Yeah, that was frustrating.
Tommy Chong is in it.
He's a good eye actor.
My wife's like, I like that.
Is that Cheech or Chong?
It's possible, honey, that the Asian one is called Chong.
Conceivable.
And I hate when they do movies like this and it was all a dream or it was all in one person's head.
This is not that.
Can you believe me now?
I don't know what I believe anymore.
There was another movie with him with the same kind of vibe.
Called Mandy.
You know what was really cool about it was just the production, the color correction, the scenes.
It was very aesthetically pleasing.
Like even when they'd show shots of the trees with the clouds above them and the way they would move in the wind, it was very attractive.
I want that to be like my screensaver.
I was like, damn.
It was very aesthetically pleasing.
You never seen this?
Mandy?
I think he's...
Oh look, SpectreVision, that must be...
Oh, okay, that's why.
Yeah, he's their guy now.
He maybe owns shares?
Maybe.
Same kind of coloring going on here.
Maybe there's a woman who runs it, and that's why she always hooks him up with dogs as the love interest.
Dark embrace.
Hey, exact same thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's called Mandy.
I'd watch it.
I'd be done.
Wait, is that her?
Is that the wife from the last one?
Is it?
No, she looks way worse here.
Is that David Carradine?
What's with the purple in every movie?
This looks like the exact same film.
It really does, yeah.
They even have a monster in it.
Not that the other one has a monster.
You're a special one.
It may or may not have a monster.
Yes.
I too am a special one.
Family, purple, losing their minds.
Some sort of psychic force.
Cruel special effects.
Yeah, this one's got a lot of ass kicking in it.
It's like taken, but like with, you know, like a family revenge thing.
But.
So what you gonna do with that man?
What hunting?
So what you hunt.
It's crazy evil.
All right, I'm in.
Yeah, that looks pretty awesome.
Officially sold.
What else should we talk about?
We got to cover a little tiny piece of coronavirus.
You've probably seen this, but I have to get it up there.
Him, this is 1-1 where he's being told that he can't say Chinese coronavirus anymore.
Wait, did I just leave?
No, it's below that.
Yeah, that one.
Just play your pause.
Notice her cunty tone.
This is the thing with the shit chests these days.
They really wanted...
She's sick of sending the principal's office.
She's sick of giving you detentions.
So they're just going to have it out right now.
I have had enough of you, young Donald.
Why do you keep calling this the Chinese virus?
There are reports of dozens of incidents of violence against Chinese Americans in this country.
Your own aide, Secretary Ezar, says he does not use this term because ethnicity does not cause the virus.
Why do you keep using that?
It comes from China.
It's not racist at all, no?
Not at all.
It comes from China.
That's why.
It comes from China.
I want to be accurate.
I have great love for all of the people from our country.
But as you know, China tried to say at one point that it was caused by China.
That's all I wanted.
He didn't chop, though.
Yeah, he usually does a chop with China.
The China chop.
Also in the news, this is totally off topic, and I like doing non-coronavirus stuff because I'm sure you're fucking sick to death of hearing about this shit.
And when we walk around outside, I assume we'll be talking about this.
Oh, we are going outside?
Yeah.
Oh, okay, cool.
I saw a cool article about the secretary problem.
This is one three.
And apparently Matt...
Oh, flip.
This number will help you find a parking space, a home, and even true love.
Now, apparently, this goes back way before this new book.
And the secretary problem is I'm interviewing secretaries, right?
I could interview 1 million of them.
That's a lot of time.
I could interview 10.
Where do I draw the line?
Like, when do I go, all right, I'm starting to see a pattern here with applicants.
It's time to move on with my life, drop the hammer, and choose that.
And they say 37% of your journey.
They being mathematicians that have gone over algorithm after algorithm to figure out when best you should settle and make a decision.
It includes a spouse.
It includes an apartment.
It includes hiring someone like a secretary.
So let me break it down for you, okay?
In the case of that dreaded apartment search, you should spend 37% of your time.
So say you've allotted yourself a month to look for an apartment.
11 days if you're giving yourself a month, for example, exploring your options.
In other words, visit apartments, noting what's available and the pluses and minuses of each.
And after 11 days, take the first apartment you see that's better than the previous options.
You got me?
So I'm going to look for a month, or you allot a month, and then you go, I'm going to do 11 days.
Those 11 days represent 37% of the apartments I'm going to see.
That's enough to draw a pattern.
Believe me, I wish it was 95.5.
And then you go, okay, from now on, I'm going to do that.
Look, say you're interviewing 100 applicants for a secretary job.
After 37, you go, that's my range.
And now the next one you choose should be better, the best of that first 37.
Wondering about the checkout line at the supermarket?
If there are 10 available, walk past the first four, then choose the first one that's shorter.
So the first four, the first 37%, have given you your pattern.
Yates, this is the author of the book, I guess, uses it when boarding a train.
In search of the car that's the least crowded, pass up the first 37% of cars.
So say you're going to check five cars.
You want to check like two cars.
And settle on the first thereafter that's less crowded.
The best way to maximize the potential to hire the best candidates to value the first.
I already said that.
Oh, here's another one.
If you're 18 and might date one person seriously per year until you're 35, optimal stopping suggests that you play the field for about six or seven years, right?
So now you are 24.
I just saved you 10 years of dicks and cunts.
And guys, come on.
I see you doing Coke and getting wasted and playing video games and smoking bong hits.
Okay, I get it.
You got to get your yeahs out.
I got my yeahs out.
But you stole your parents' liquor at 14.
By 24, that's a decade of getting wasted and fucking sluts.
You don't get it yet?
Um...
After that, you should stick with the first person who comes along who's better than all of the others you've dated so far.
So ladies, at 24, you know what your patterns are.
You know what your range is.
You're not going to get fucking Tom Ford with a heterosexual bent.
So start focusing on settling down.
Stop dating comedians.
Stop dating musicians.
Stop dating bikers, including presidents of chapters in Westchester, who are going to be in the can soon anyway.
Stop dating actors.
I recommend dating expats, Australian immigrants, immigrants who came here, Western immigrants who came here because they had to bust their ass to get here.
They're tenacious and loyal.
See, that's my example of a fun non-coronavirus listed thing that improves your life.
And here's another interesting thing.
Actually, oh yeah, this is 1.5, but it's listed below it.
This is a totally unrelated thing.
We're just powering through this various hodgepodge of news bits.
I thought this was interesting.
And, you know, Nick Fuentez, America First Right, has been shitting on Turning Point a lot because they sounded too pro-immigration for a while.
That to me seems like a waste of time.
And I appreciate Michelle Malkin exposing Kirk, and I'm glad she did.
But I'm not going to let that nullify all of Turning Point USA.
I'm glad they're doing stuff like this and exposing the bias in colleges.
You just said this is how the organization got started.
Right.
So I really implore you to look at the watch list.
Think about the professors who are being targeted.
A lot of them are professors of home.
And a lot of them are teaching.
You say that you're not, you're bipartisan.
That kind of feels dishonest.
80% of teachers are liberal cunts.
So if you are targeting bias, we're going to have a bunch of conservative bias in professors.
Yeah, right.
But look her up, by the way, Sarah Mosliner.
That picture of her is actually quite flattering.
And I think ugly women choose these vocations, these areas of study.
Yeah, that's her.
Look at that thing.
She gives Tarana Burke a run for her money.
She looks like she sounds like...
That's a...
And then she wrote this book, look, Virgin Nation, about the chastity of young girls.
Young, ugly girls, too.
Wow.
All right, go back to this.
Is that her?
This colour.
Yeah.
No, they choose these areas of study Because it's areas where aesthetics doesn't matter and there's no rules, there's no meritocracy, there's no such thing as beauty, and everyone can be beautiful, like say me, she says.
So I've known about them longer than you have.
So you're responsible for the organization you are a part of.
And I just, I need you to know that.
We actually had a long conversation in my class about this today.
I take these down when I see them because I'm terrified of your organization.
I'm terrified of the other organization.
Socialism.
What organization?
On campus?
Well, there's Bernie Socialism, the green poster.
Well, I hope you'll report that.
Because that's the only thing that should be reported.
I feel like that's kind of like going on free speech.
You've taken stuff down.
We don't take down your posters.
I don't think anybody else should take down our posters.
And it is an act of civil disobedience for me.
And if you need to call me out on it, do it.
Just pause.
This is exactly like that woman who was talking to Trump.
I think we've overempowered women.
Feminism has spun out of control.
And we've turned women into bossy bitches, as they've called it.
She admits to civil disobedience against her students.
That's weird, right?
Yeah.
Wait, isn't civil disobedience all about calling truth to power or whatever?
I don't know.
Right.
And I will tell everyone exactly what I told you, why I told you.
Okay.
But we, I mean, we're not, I don't, there's no reason you should be scared of us, honestly.
Or this even thinks it's not just you.
Right?
You're part of this whole organization.
Yeah.
That has been doing this work for a long time.
What about Antifa members?
And people of Antifa.
I've actually had somebody that's had death threats that's had the placement in her house because they told her her location, her address.
So I think that's what we're trying to prevent violence.
So you're not bipartisan.
We are bipartisan.
We have not just tracked one candidate for the party outright.
He actually doesn't work for him.
He just appeared before he got started.
He was his social media director.
Yeah, you should check out him.
I think you should see, isn't this good that Turning Point's empowering these young girls to stand up to this bitch?
When I was in school, we had these professors.
They weren't as common as they are now.
Now they're ubiquitous.
But we wouldn't have the, we just go, oh, I guess I'm a stupid piece of shit.
I'm only 18 and she has a PhD.
These girls are going, yeah, you know what?
Wikipedia is not very reliable anymore.
No, but come to our back, please, and ask him his questions because this is what we want to do.
We want to incite discussion and civil dialogue, and we want to figure out immigrants.
I totally understand that, right?
I understand that.
I also know that when we're dealing with things like white nationalism and racism, that people have gotten really good at hiding that.
Okay?
And so I just want you to think, does this serve your best interest?
And here's the thing, like, I would love to see a good Republican group on campus.
I think that's something we're really missing, right?
That students who have a conservative voice don't have the kind of spaces that students with neoliberal voices have.
We do have one organization.
We have an organization.
We can organize.
So the whole notion of hiding your white nationalism, that's the way they go.
Proud Boys are Nazis.
Really?
What about Proud Boys Israel?
That's self-loathing Nazis.
Oh.
What about the fact that there's blacks and whites?
That's multiracial.
So they give you an allegation, like they'd hypothetically call me gay.
I go, I'm married with kids.
Yeah, you're hiding it.
You're very good at hiding your homosexuality.
And you go, well, how do you win an argument like that?
My buddy out in the Burbs, his teacher said, so we've lost Elizabeth Warren today, kids.
These are 11-year-olds he's talking to.
And he goes, she's out of the race.
And it's pretty sad.
And I think we all just got to keep moving forward.
Assuming his 11-year-old students give a fuck about Elizabeth Warren and were hoping she'd win.
So my friend's son puts up his hand and he goes, yeah, that's because she knew she couldn't beat Trump.
Which is true.
It's a factual thing that was said in a school.
And the teacher said to him, that's a very unfortunate thing to say.
Like, they are indoctrinating our kids.
Well, why don't you homeschool?
Yeah, I think I will.
But we can't all homeschool.
They've ruined education.
They've destroyed it.
It's become a Marxist re-education camp that makes up fake stories.
All right, how are we doing for time?
Doing pretty good.
Pritz good.
There's a couple of the stories I wanted to get to before we hit the streets.
This was interesting.
The Second Amendment says that the people have the right to bear arms and have a well-regulated militia.
Isn't that what it says?
And then we hear about this guy, 1-6.
Police shoot dead anti-government militiaman in his home amid claims he was asleep when they opened fire from outside his house in a raid that also left his girlfriend wounded.
Duncan Lamp21 was killed on Thursday night after police opened fire.
Attorney says he was asleep.
Maryland police say they confronted officers.
They were executing a search warrant for weapons.
He was banned from owning.
Cops recovered three rifles, a handgun from his home.
Friends said he posted on internet forums and social media.
He used names associated with anti-government militia.
Oh, we got to go invade that guy.
So they weren't concerned about the guns.
They were concerned about his anti-government sentiment.
This story should be on the front page of every fucking newspaper.
Why is the media Siding with the government.
And I've seen this happen a million times.
The media working with law enforcement, knowing more about my friend's criminal cases than my friend's lawyers.
The justice system alerting the media, even up in Canada.
Remember that dude who got in a fight with a Palestinian at that pro-Israeli march?
And while he was on trial, the local Ottawa media knew more about his case than he did.
It was like, proud boy is not so proud anymore.
Anyway, keep going.
There's few things healthier than being anti-government.
You don't want someone to have power over you, to have authority over you.
You don't want some plebe you don't know, some pencil-pushing fucking geek bureaucrat telling you how to live your life, what you can and can't do.
Look, he had solar panels.
He wasn't using our power.
Lemp was killed when police opened far in the Maryland home, pictured living with his brother, 19.
His lawyer says, oh, wow, he already said that.
Keep going.
Kill him.
So they just murdered a person.
They just murdered a person.
They claim it's because he had illegal guns.
We don't know that in the article.
But they also say he was posting anti-government sentiment.
I'm posting anti-government sentiment right now.
Fuck the government.
You know, Virginia said, you're not going to take our guns.
And they went there fully armed.
What happened?
The government went, oh, okay, I'm going to go.
They kept bluffing right up until the 11th hour saying, we're going to take your guns.
We're going to change the laws in Virginia.
You're going to be fucked if you don't listen to us.
Nope.
Didn't happen.
Same with the Bundy Ranch.
The government said, we're going to take over this ranch, you anti-government ranchers.
And everyone showed up armed to the teeth.
What happened?
Obama went, okay, we're not going to.
Then hippies went to occupy Wall Street.
I don't condone that protest, but they have the right to protest.
They showed up with no guns and just tents.
What happened to them?
Pepper sprayed, arrested, thrown in jail.
Guns talk.
And the fact that this story disappeared should disturb everyone.
The media should be calling out the government for breaking the law.
That's what your job is.
Remember Watergate?
Remember the movie with Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman that every fucking boomer journalist watched and said, I'm going to work at the New York Times.
And now what do they do?
They hide stories like this.
Or this story, 17.
Black man hunted down and killed five white men because they were white.
Media silent.
A white guy killed a white woman in Charlottesville a few weeks ago, and it's the most racist thing the liberal media has ever heard about.
In Kansas City, a black guy hunted and killed five white men because he wanted to kill all the white people in quotes.
And that same media couldn't be any less interested in the story or the racism.
Did you hear about this case?
Of course not, because it doesn't involve white supremacists emboldened by Donald Trump.
They should have put that in quotes.
Let me scroll up so I can read the poll quote.
The 22-year-old man suspected of shooting five middle-aged white men since last year, including four.
Wait, it's been a drawn-out pattern, including four on South Kansas City walking trails.
He's a racist serial killer.
This wasn't a mass shooting.
It's like the Beltway sniper.
He threatened in 2014 to shoot up a school and kill all white people, according to court records.
Frederick Desmond Scott, who was charged Tuesday in two killings and names of suspect and three more, made those statements fucking six years ago.
And we finally caught him.
Thanks, media.
All five white men were between the ages of 54 and 67, meaning they probably are an easier target, right?
All five were fatally shot, most from behind, in surprise attacks as they walked dogs, visited parks, and in one case, walked down a city street.
Holy shit.
Where is that fucking story?
And then last story I want to get to before we go outside.
1-8.
That ridiculous movie, Hunters.
Okay?
They have gone so far to the extreme in talking about how horrible, obviously Nazis are horrible, but how prevalent the Nazis were, that they're now exaggerating the Holocaust, which I would argue trivializes the Holocaust.
But they're including things like Nazis playing human chess, which is a lie that's so egregious that Jews go, can you just do the actual story, please?
The actual story is pretty bad.
So let's just focus on that.
So now the guy is saying, well, so now the Auschwitz Memorial is saying, will you fucking pull the brakes?
Because now you make up bullshit like that.
People find out about it.
Now when we talk about six million Jews, people laugh in our face.
So you're making the whole Holocaust irrelevant by lying about it.
And so he defends himself.
In speaking to the chess match scene, yes, this is a fictionalized event.
Why did I feel the scene was important?
To most powerfully counteract the revisionist narrative.
What revisionist narrative?
Is there a really powerful revisionist narrative going on that whitewash Nazi perpetration by showcasing the most extreme?
Oh yeah, so he counteracts that by showcasing the most extreme and representationally truthful sadism and violence that the Nazis perpetrated against the Jews and other victims.
Why did I feel the need to create a fictional event when there were so many real horrors that existed?
After all, it is true that Nazis perpetrated widespread and extreme acts of sadism and torture, and even incidents of cruel games against their victims.
I simply did not want to depict those specific real acts of trauma.
Oh, so he just subbed out one act of trauma for the other.
I can't wait to see The Hunt.
He says more stuff, too.
Yeah, philosophical, I believe we can.
I love Hunters.
I think it's a great show.
Because it is a cartoon exaggeration of the left's view of the world.
And it's just like The Handmaid's Tale, where Margaret Atwood Wrote a book to talk about what if Muslim sexism ever made it to the West.
Some fucking liberal homos in Hollywood changed it into being about Mike Pence, and everyone swallowed it up, and that makes me laugh.
Similarly, The Hunt is getting bad reviews, and I think that might be good because I think the liberal elitists don't like that it exposes them as liberal elitists who want MAGA people to die.
And make no mistake, they want us to die.
All right, that's the news.
I'm glad I got that better life in there with the secretary problem.
You want to know what Manhattan's like?
We're in Manhattan right now.
Let's walk outside.
Take the...
Take the camera off.
Okay.
And follow me.
Oh.
Oh.
So this is it.
This is Times Square.
The New York Post makes it look like it's totally abandoned.
Manhattan in general, since COVID-19, since the Kung Flu, the Chinese virus, has been sort of like New York City at 7 a.m. on a Sunday.
And that is especially true of Times Square.
The illegal aliens who dress up like Elmo and various Muppets, they're not around.
How you doing?
Fuck, I hate everyone so much.
They talk about hate in America, stopping hate.
It's not racial.
I hate everyone in the world.
Oh, thanks, man.
Oh, cool.
Cool.
I don't know if you mind.
Yeah, you're Ryan and Gavin.
Oh, sure.
The rules.
Right on.
I don't mean to interrupt.
No, no, no.
No, no problem.
I'd interview you, but I don't want to get AIDS.
And if you look over here, you can see, see if you can see that Statue of Liberty guy.
He's one of the few illegals that's still here.
And I say illegals because 100% of them are from Mexico.
Unilingual Spanish speakers from Mexico.
Yeah, sure, let's do a photo.
Thank you.
I support you guys.
Thank you.
And you can see that that tourist trap is not really getting a lot of customers.
But, you know, we were talking this morning.
I kind of like coronavirus.
Am I in the shadows now?
I like coronavirus because it's like a little reboot for all of us.
I like us to not take things for granted and to see what it's like to stay with your family indoors, to sort of realize how much we take for granted.
I think that we're overdoing it here with this quarantine, but it's not really affecting us.
I don't really give a shit.
Although the bars closing was pretty devastating, that's the first time it really hit home is when I realized we can no longer go to bars.
That's not just where I drink, that's where I piss.
Like, we can't pee now when we walk around and do these streeters.
And also, that's where I got a lot of my love.
You know, my wife's American Indian, and the American Indians that are kind and loving, they're all dead.
It's only the real bitches that are left.
So I don't get a lot of affection from my wife.
I get that from bartenders.
Attention and love I get from my bartenders.
That's gone now.
But let's go a little deeper into Times Square because it's usually busier by the stairs.
And you can see here that it's what?
It's middle of the afternoon, not early in the morning.
And I'd say we're operating at about 5% capacity.
So there is a guy, I don't, he doesn't look like he's, oh, that was, There's Spider-Man being pensive.
Oh, he's taking a picture of himself.
He's not one of these guys asking for money.
And then we've got the naked cowboy still here.
And then that weird lady who goes, in other words, the only sort of stalwarts of Times Square that are still around are the mentally ill.
I don't know, it's disturbing though.
So here we are in the epicenter of Times Square.
Before I was just sort of on the outskirts.
This is where it's usually jammed shoulder to shoulder.
And it ain't today.
I shouldn't say shoulder to shoulder.
But it's definitely operating at about 5% capacity.
I think if you don't drink, this is a good time to visit New York.
All the department stores are still open.
Just the restaurants and bars are closed.
Get some deals.
You don't have to worry about crowds.
Parking is easy peasy.
I mean, you can't park on the street, but it's easy to find a parking garage.
And there's no one bothering you.
I would conduct interviews, but I don't want to catch coronavirus, so I'm just sort of nodding at people.
Is this what you expected it would be?
Yeah.
Me too.
We used to do a lot more man on the streets here in Times Square, but I got inundated with selfies, 90% selfies, 10% threats.
It just wasn't fun anymore.
But one of the reasons we're doing this now is because San Francisco, as of midnight last night, is doing a stay-at-home curfew.
And the rule is, say of a family of five, one person can leave at a time to go buy groceries or something.
By the way, that includes toilet paper.
Toilet paper was never at risk.
What the fuck were you doing fighting over toilet paper?
Worst case scenario, wash your ass in the shower.
And the paper towels thing was equally ridiculous.
You don't have rags?
You don't have an old t-shirt that you could re-wash?
Anyway.
So everyone has to stay indoors and one person is allowed out at a time.
That may very well be instituted in New York, in which case, I don't know how we'll do the live show tomorrow.
I don't know how we'll take calls.
Maybe We could just do it on our phones.
Anyway, we'll figure something out.
We'll definitely be live tomorrow night.
It might be from my bathroom.
But yeah, this is an interesting glimpse at New York City, and I think it's kind of fun.
You know, during the ice storm in the late 90s, Vice, me and the guys from Vice, we went down to New York City.
We were told not to go anywhere.
Everyone wants to stay inside.
It's ice everywhere.
And we drove down over the border, and there was tanks everywhere, and military and army everywhere.
I guess that goes under military.
And it was super fun because it was so weird and abandoned.
The same with the blackout in 2004.
That was a blast.
We went all over the city.
Everyone was partying and handing out free beer.
And now today, oh, what's going on there?
Is that a bum just hanging out with tourists?
Yeah, I think so.
You see that woman smoking in the dirty sweatshirt?
Just rapping with fucking tourists?
Maybe a dude.
Gross.
Oh, maybe it's a dude.
Please don't come over here.
Please don't come over here.
Don't film him.
I don't want him to come over here.
Is it Beck?
Don't engage.
Oh, yeah, it's Beck.
Bit of a career dip.
And the blackout was super fun.
And now...
Thank you.
He's coughing.
He's smoking a joint, though.
And this is kind of fun, too.
It's seeing a new New York.
This is a New York after Thanos.
Goes like that, and half the country turns into dust.
Although in this case, it's 90% of the country.
It's very dense with bums and construction workers.
And then a handful of tourists, including Chinese people.
Shouldn't they have masks on?
Is that racist?
Is anything racist anymore?
You know what happened?
I was on John Miller's show on Blaze TV, and I said, yeah, at my gym and in New Rochelle, a lot of black people think that they can't get it.
They see this as a white disease.
In fact, some of them see it as a Jewish disease because in New Rochelle, it was a Jewish guy who got it, and he spread it at his synagogue.
Those are all just facts.
That's what I heard a black dude say it, and that's not an uncommon belief.
In fact, Waka Flaka was in the news recently because he said minorities can't get it.
So it is a belief, and I was just reporting that belief.
John then gets approached by people who say, yeah, we heard someone on your show saying that coronavirus is a Jewish disease that was created by Jews to kill minorities.
And maybe you should just disavow yourself from that belief.
I know you don't believe that, but you should disavow.
Disavow what?
I never said anything like that.
That's what goes on with the fucking radical left these days.
And the radical left is mainstream.
They take something like, hey, this is what I heard in New Rochelle, and they turn it into this anti-Semitic conspiracy.
If Jews were making coronavirus to kill minorities, they're doing a terrible job.
It's a destitute failure if that was their goal.
And if you want to get down to racism within this outbreak, calling it Chinese is not a thing, but there are Hispanics and blacks attacking Chinese people.
There was just a guy in the paper, I think his last name was Rivera, actually.
And he was going up to Chinese people yelling, where's your mask?
And then slapping the shit out of them for not wearing masks.
So once again, you're looking for racism and you end up finding it in races that are not white people.
We tend to be the least racist people around and the ones accused of racism the most.
I find that quite curious.
I think it's white people calling other white people racist to make them feel more culturally advanced.
Anyway, speaking of cultural advancements, let's go to Chinatown.
Let's go to the Eye of the Storm and see if it's busy.
Because, you know, earlier I said Times Square is shoulder-to-shoulder traffic.
Chinatown is often human traffic.
It's one of the only places I've been to in the world where you're like crotched to a butt standing on Canal Street waiting for the light to change.
And then the light changes and sometimes you can't even make it.
So it's like bumper-to-bumper traffic, but humans.
Let's see what it's like amid the Chinese flu.
I'm back, back in the New York flu.
So this is 6th Avenue, probably the busiest street as far as pedestrians go outside of Chinatown.
Not a lot going on.
We're here in the West Village where AIDS was invented, and it looks even more abandoned than it did in 1989.
Not a lot happening here in Gaytown.
It is a beautiful part of town.
It's been severely damaged, though, by high rents.
It's losing its charm.
I think Lena Dunham is the only one left.
Lena Dunham and a bunch of geriatrics.
All these stores are becoming chains.
It's easy to get lost around here.
Oh, we just passed John Benjamin's house.
He's the voice of Archer and Bob's Burgers.
This is a funny part of town where it starts becoming Soho.
Very pricey.
Very clean.
The gays are clean.
Look how abandoned this is.
This is Wednesday afternoon in the hustling and bustling West Village where all the rich celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker like to chill.
And we're now getting closer to Soho and Chinatown.
Look at this.
Ain't no one around.
We should just go up to people right here and go, Why are you gay?
You are gay.
Okay.
You can tell he's gay.
You see a dude with a chain wallet and jeans and a North Face jacket, and you go, oh, there's a straight dude.
No, he has Comme des Garcons Chuck Taylors on.
That's a gay.
Why?
Hey, why are you gay?
Lots of delivery guys, I'm noticing.
Delivery guys bombs construction workers.
And then we I saw some dude with a carpet store, and he was still open.
You know what you're doing well when gays start moving into your neighborhood?
It starts with artists, then it's gays, then it's Asians, yuppie Asians, and then you're selling your place for three times what you bought it for.
But there's certain areas that will just never gentrify, like East New York, Harlem, Bushwick.
And that's not just a black thing.
Greenpoint, Brooklyn is all Polish.
That's never getting gentrified.
They're never leaving there.
Okay, this is unique.
Chinatown is always crammed, always rammed.
It is a human traffic jam pretty much 24 hours a day.
We're here at the beginning of Canal Street, which is the westerly edge of Chinatown, and it's totally deserted.
I've never seen this before.
And everything seems to be shut.
There's also, the only people that I see are non-Chinese people.
Blacks and whites and all the other races.
No yellows.
It's a yellow-free zone.
That's so weird.
And whereas a few shops were open in Midtown and Times Square, it appears that absolutely nothing is open here.
Oh, there's a pizza place that's open.
But all of the stores are shut down.
Whoa, I just coughed.
We are in the epicenter of Chinatown.
And no Chinese people.
Almost everything closed.
Even Sang Shang Jewelry.
And the Cao Ming Chi Buffet is closed.
The Chinese Buddhist Center is shut down.
And also Tsing Chi's and Lao Chi Sing Chi is totally shut.
You can see here the great noodle place, Wu Tsi Chi Si, is not open anymore.
And the Chao Mengzu gift center shut down as well as Hui T. What is this asshole waiting for?
Move it!
Oh, thanks shit for brains!
Oh, a Chinese person in Chinatown.
That's the first one I've seen.
I hope there's two.
New York.
New York.
Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
New York.
Hallelujah.
Stop, stop, stop.
Well, you don't get much more Chinatown than Doyer Street.
This is the Bloody Angle, named after the gangs of New York days, where the Chinese, who I guess were driven up by the opium wars in China, ended up flooding New York, and competing gangs, Chinese gangs, would be killing each other so often in such brutal manners that the story was you saw blood pouring down the streets.
There's nothing pouring down the streets now.
There's just people going to the post office, the Chinatown station, and nothing else.
I mean, this place is usually so busy that cars don't go down it because it's just mobbed with humans.
The Namwa Tea Parlor.
I went there with Derek.
What's his name from Drunk History?
So, if there's no one on the Bloody Angle, then there's no one in Chinatown.
And if there's no one in Chinatown, there's no one in New York.
Here we are at the World Trade Memorial, usually packed with tourists.
There's only a smattering of people here.
You can count them.
Two, four, five, six, seven.
A few construction workers.
But zero tourists are here staring up at the Freedom Tower.
I've never actually been here before because I'm still very sensitive about that day.
There's the Freedom Tower, a giant shrine to terrorism, built way over budget, way past deadline, total ripoff.
It actually is a, it's a testament to jihad, but it's also a testament to how corrupt and backwards New York City is.
But anyway, no one in Chinatown.
Times Square pretty sparse.
And the World Trade Memorial is totally empty.
New York is closed for business.
New York.
Hanging in New York.
New York.
Hanging in New York.
See, that guy who gave me the finger, I don't think you caught it, by the way.
Why can't I fight him?
That was Ryan yelling, fuck you, by the way.
He was calling me a racist piece of shit, I believe.
I believe so.
Why can't I fight him?
Which is totally fine.
They go over there and fight him.
Then I get sued.
I go to jail for four years, like Max and John.
So the media portrays you as this Nazi monster.
Then people get to yell, fuck you, Nazi monster, and you can't go up and say, what's the issue here?
Like at CPAC, where I get close to someone who called me a piece of shit, that Antifa gimp, and he runs the authorities and I'm ejected from CPAC forever.
So it's an interesting team they make, where they vilify you, deperson you, then everyone else gets to attack you and you can't fight back.
That's, by the way, why we don't shoot a ton of stuff in New York, because I would just be fucking beating the shit out of everyone around me.
One thing we didn't get to in the news is the SPLC, my suit is still sitting with the judge.
I don't know.
He can have it forever, I guess.
But a lot of other people are starting to attack the SPLC.
And I noticed this article that was in National Review.
The SPLC's fake internal review.
Now, there's Tina Chen.
Tina Chen, by the way, was hired right before Juicy Smollett.
And then she came in and they said, hey, you're a visible minority.
You look kind of like Ryan Katsu Rivera and Drag.
Can you fix our image?
She goes, no problem.
And then after that is announced, Michelle Obama calls her up and says, hey, my friend Juicy is in shit for a fake hate crime.
Can you Just tell the Kim Fox to drop it, and she goes, No problem, Kim, drop this.
Michelle's pissed off.
No problem.
This is Chicago.
We're even more corrupt than New York.
And it was dropped.
But then everyone found out about the bullshit.
Tina Chen's name is Mudd, and now she's in charge of saving the SPLC.
I think Ms. Chen, if she's honest and diligent, will find that many of us, what many of us have long believed, that the SPLC is the Harvey Weinstein of the nonprofits.
Yet Chen's findings have not yet been released.
The SPLC did not respond to a quest for comment on the timetable of her investigation either.
I don't think we should separate the SPLC from the media.
It's the same thing.
And all these civil rights SJW lawyers who pretend they're about equality but are really about keeping Antifa out of jail, they're in the same boat.
It's a very thin gray area that separates them all.
Thin line.
Perkins accused the SPLC of choosing a political hack who helped them bury their skeletons.
And as of now, the SPLC has refused to prove him wrong.
Now, the reason I bring that up is because it reminds me of a fucking amazing letter that I'm going to make into a video.
I got from my friend Craig Nelson.
But I tell you these stories as they hit the press because you've subscribed to Censored.tv.
So rather than wait until I have the time to make this into a fancy polished video, I will tell you the guts of it right now.
And we'll do that.
Let's turn our eyes together's mailbag.
Let me touch it.
In the mailbag.
Okay, you'll have to be patient for this.
And you may have to write down the names.
It's pretty long.
So in this letter that I got, he says, I understand that you, every time you talk about the SPLC, you go, yeah, they were cool.
They did take down the Klan, but then they became corrupt.
And he goes, please stop saying that.
It's patently false.
They've always been corrupt.
In fact, they chose one guy because he had a last name that sounded like MLK's charitable organization, which was on fire at the time with support because he had just been assassinated in 69.
In 72, they started the SBLC with some guy named Abernathy.
So they say, let's get someone named Abernathy called the SPLC, and we'll see how many people we can dupe into coming over.
Then in the 80s, they did the KKK thing and won a suit for $7 million, but the KKK had no money.
So you didn't really take them out.
There was nothing to take out.
It's like taking down Adam Waffen or the base.
All right, so those are the Kohl's notes.
If you read the SPLC's website, you'll see it was founded by Morris Dees, Joe Levin, and Julian Bond.
This is a lie.
On the actual incorporating documents with the Alabama Secretary of State's office, the three names are Morris Dees, Joe Levin, and Charles Abernathy.
So first we learn about who Julian Bond was.
He was the D-Ray Mackassin of the 60s, lighter-skinned, young black gay male, vocal, articulate.
Do you want to try to find him, Julian Bond?
They got Charles Abernathy.
Okay, Charles Abernathy is relevant just because of his name, though.
But it's Julian Bond I want to see.
Julian Bond.
The problem with Julian Bond is he was too effeminate.
So the SPLC used him more in articles.
Oh my God.
He's the guy from the Saturday Night Live sketch who said light-skinned blacks, a joke where he said light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks.
And the dark-skinned black guy goes, say what, motherfucker?
Right.
A sketch he says he regrets.
Okay, so this guy and Morris Dees, we know Morris Dees, right?
The president who was molesting women and saying racist shit and being a horrible scumbag.
So yeah, Julian Bond was too gay, basically.
I didn't know he was gay.
Is Morris Dees?
But he was, that's Morris Dees.
He's been installed as the president of the SBLC early on while still a college student.
He later sat on the board, but from what I can tell, never had any real impact on the organization, except possibly on the LGBT front.
Blah, blah, blah.
Okay, so this is when it gets much more interesting.
So who was Charles Abernathy?
He was another young product of the civil rights era, but white.
He was an original incorporator, but then seemed to disappear.
I think he was only included in the founding of the SBLC for the name Abernathy.
He's currently a law professor at Georgetown.
Abernathy, here's the crux, would have been a very useful name to any grifter founding an organization in the American South in 1971 with the awkward name Southern Poverty Law Center.
I always thought that was a weird name.
What the fuck does it mean?
Like it's for farmers or something in the South?
It was all part of the same grift, the exploitation of white America's desire for racial conciliation and the goodwill toward black America in the aftermath of the civil rights struggles of the 60s, the campus protests in the defining event of black pain in America, the 1968 assassination of MLK and the resulting race rights.
So obviously, America was drenched in guilt in 1968 for the death of MLK, and they wanted to do anything to have racial harmony after that.
Please stop the riots.
Let's solve this problem.
By 1971, Martin Luther King's death had passed into martyrdom.
He was on his way to sainthood, and the organization he had founded, the Southern Christian Leadership Council.
The SCLC was started right before the, sorry, not started, but it was exploding with popularity right at the same time the SPLC was going.
It was the premier civil rights organization in the country, and rightfully so.
At that time, the Southern Christian Leadership Council was known as the Southern Baptist Leadership Council, the SBLC, still one letter away, right?
And upon MLK's death, the leadership of the group passed to MLK's second in command, another Southern Baptist minister named.
You ready for the smoking gun?
Don't tell me you don't get interesting news on this show.
Ralph Abernathy.
No relation whatsoever to the SPLC Abernathy, but the same last fucking name.
He was still the head of the SPLC in 1971 when the SPLC was incorporated.
I ask you, and this is what I'll ask in the video where I get fancy graphics added, how many of the early donors to the SPLC thought they were donating to the SBLC, the Southern Baptist Leadership Council, and the ton of moral authority it carried?
It seems clear the SPLC was set up precisely through rank deception to take advantage of the hard work, pain, and sacrifice of others as the means to exploit the virtue of Americans.
What a doozy that letter is.
There's an article between the LC and SBLC.
Oh, no, that's banking.
Thanks, Ryan.
All right, shall we get to another...
Okay, this one just arrived on our table.
1995 Mad Magazine snippets.
I love that you guys think that 1995 was a long time ago.
In 1995, I had my own newspaper, my own company, a car, a life, a girlfriend, fucking a future.
Fucking.
That was fucking...
Anyway, hello, boys.
I just dug out my madman collection from the 90s and found some interesting treats.
The Right Wing Academy is crazy to be from 25 years ago.
And the black mugger at the ATM, that's classic old-timey fun.
All those youths, introduce me to your ding-dong.
Brody from fucking Winnipeg.
And we have Howard Stern getting flushed down a toilet.
We have the Radical Religious Right Course Catalog.
This doesn't seem that interesting.
Who do we got?
Rush Limbaugh?
Newt Gingrich?
We have Hitler.
Physical Education Bashing.
This isn't that interesting of an email, sir.
Oh, we have a black criminal at the ATM.
Would you like a printed record of this robbery?
Ha ha ha.
That's at the very bottom.
That was a waste of a fucking.
I gotta start reading these first.
Zach, this is one for the suggestion box.
Those green screens are wonderful.
We need your face in them and we need your hands for pointing and such.
But we know you're wearing the cool shirt we saw earlier in the episode.
Why don't you wear a green sweater for the green screens?
The more of the video, then more of the video is visible.
I always wondered about green screen weathermen.
We don't need to see your shitty blazer.
Where is it going to rain?
Stop blocking the temps.
Thanks for having a show worth paying for.
That's what I'm doing to this.
That's what I'm doing to this.
I'm going to add some sound to that.
We've got some fucking asshole buzzing our buzzer from the green room.
We're not going to answer that.
Wait, I'll make that red now.
Okay, let's have a fun one.
Can we get a fun one?
No, that looks too complicated.
That's too long.
What are the chances we were trailed and that's some antagonizer?
See, that's what we have to worry about.
That's...
I mean...
I'll fucking kick the living shit out of anyone who comes to the studio.
Mailbag, this situation...
The situation with Australian internet companies blocking the media play or whatever is fucking ridiculous.
You dusty bogan.
You're kicked from mainstream platform.
Okay, I'll go back to my normal accent, but this is clearly an Australian letter.
You're kicked from mainstream platforms, and the refrain from the majority of both sides is to make your own platform, you know, the free market.
The reality is that there are only very few providers of things like domain registration, payment processors, DDoS, et cetera.
And these sort of endeavors are borderline impossible to do on a small scale due to the barriers to entry.
These kinds of bans are on the horizon.
That's an interesting point, sir, that they said, oh, you're banned from Twitter, you're banned from Facebook and everything, Gavin.
Well, fuck you.
Start your own thing.
Okay, I did.
We called it free speech.tv.
I, with my own money, paid for the infrastructure, got the domain name, set everything up.
Not everyone can afford that.
And then free speech TV sues us.
Okay, that was, it was suspicious where the money was coming from, but okay.
And we changed it to censor.tv.
And now we're getting banned in Britain and Australia by internet providers.
You are constantly getting attacked.
Over, and over, and over.
Over, and over.
Over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, I want beast mode sweatpants.
So that way you could run through a motherfucker face.
Yes.
Internet censorship is the biggest issue we are facing.
I'm inclined to agree.
In the same way, the First Amendment is the most important amendment.
If we're able to spread the truth, everything else can be figured out from there.
If we are banned from internet media and unable to spread information, we cannot convince people of the problems we face.
And when he says we, he means we as an entire people.
And everything is downstream from here.
Yep.
Great point.
Okay.
I'm going to read this letter.
It's the last letter.
And I'm fucking sick of people sending me this goddamn video.
So I'll just get it out of the way once and for all.
I've received this 100 times.
Hey, friends, I thought for sure this artist, Rumor, M-R-R-M-R, would be included in your recent episode about country rap music.
This is the first piece of contents I've digested from an up-and-coming artist that didn't give me intellectual diarrhea.
What?
It's fucking stupid gangster shit garbage.
Just sung in a nice chorus.
This subject of this is I'm not in love with everything that subject matter touches, i.e.
fuck the boys in blue, but for all intensive purposes, sick, I think this song artist is interesting on many levels.
Please tell me I'm wrong.
You race mixing, carpet bagging, no chin heaving, chauvinist.
Sunglasses, heels on, more than one.
Let me fuck you with my heels on you.
All right, should we just show this fucking thing just to get it out of the way?
Please stop sending me this video.
I don't find it remotely interesting.
They fall down like rain.
I put on that old song that we dance to and then I head back to the...
Wait a second.
They're singing like a country song, but they're like urban black guys.
But it's not.
It's like gospel pop.
There's nothing country about it.
Well, it's God Bless the Boken Road by Rascal Flats, I think.
Yeah, because they don't look like they should be singing.
Ooh, what a trick.
Isn't that weird?
They got guns.
My whole world just got turned upside down.
Like, it sounds like they would be rapping.
They're not.
They're singing Rascal Flats.
But they're not rapping at all.
Wow, mind-blown.
They don't look sensitive.
I don't know what's up or down anymore.
It's like you think they wouldn't be there.
Wouldn't you love to hear these guys read?
Here's the New York Post.
Just give me the headline.
Cog.
Coug it up.
This is about cougars.
He has a lighter in his hand.
So this is just a waste of time.
Oh, that's the fuck the boys.
Oh, they changed the words, though.
Yeah, I don't think Rascal Flats want to fuck the boys in blue.
Maybe the chick wants to have sex with them.
All right, we're out of time.
This episode's going to be late because it takes a while to edit that New York footage.
It's back in a New York roof.
we have to end with a video.
And I saw an awesome...
That's the good old days.
Like that guy who just gave me the finger, just let me fight him.
I don't mind if I lose.
Let's get in there.
And no, don't, if it's one-on-one, and he's not stamping on my head, or neither of us are curbing the guy and hitting him after he's knocked unconscious.
It doesn't have to be on the books.
And you wore a tutu and you didn't think someone was going to fuck with you?
Go!
Go!
Like the guy sitting on the top for me.
Turn it up.
Is he gay?
Are you gay?
Are you for real?
Are you still going?
I'm ready.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Somebody calling out?
Yeah.
Somebody fucking...
I...
I could edit that out.
Uh-oh.
I knew Chinatown was taking things too far.
Corona alert.
Corona alert.
Get fired.
Get in trouble.
Be brave.
And never.
