00:01:03.000That was the new romantic movement in the 80s, which is actually kind of a fascinating musical scene because they were sort of seen as these dandies, these fops, these humos, but it was all blue-collar types who were busting their ass.
00:01:18.000And on the Friday night, after working an 80-hour week, they wanted to really rock and roll.
00:01:25.000So when you see like those Elton John platform boots and the whole glam movement of the 80s and Human League, the new romantics, all that stuff, and you see them in their plush baby blue suits, no, those guys are East London Bruisers who will kill you.
00:01:43.000The reason I played that particular jam is because last night was the Met Gala.
00:01:51.000And the theme this year was Camp, which I'm learning just means gay.
00:01:56.000Can I just show you my outfit, by the way, that I put, I went through my closet and I found the most campy stuff I had.
00:02:01.000I didn't prepare for this well, but this jacket is worth a zoom in.
00:09:00.000If there's one thing that you cannot be political at, you can just relax, it's the Met Gala fashion event where the theme is rampant gayness.
00:11:37.000So the thing you have to understand about this life here in the game, and when I say that, I mean fighting the left and fighting political correctness and defending Trump and pushing for semi-traditional values, even though we're not really that conservative.
00:11:49.000We're always called far-right or alt-right, and we're not.
00:12:24.000And nothing, I'm not going to criticize Owen Benjamin.
00:12:26.000I think it's interesting what he's doing.
00:12:28.000But then there's other ones like Jovi Val, who is a full-on Nazi now, a bunch of other kids, Richard Spencer even was relatively normal until he was pushed over to the fringes.
00:12:42.000Where you make these people so ostracized that they can only speak to people in the far, far right, and the next thing you know, they're far, far right.
00:12:50.000So that's one thing that happens to them.
00:12:52.000Others get more resilient and angry, like me and Tucker.
00:13:14.000And then the third possibility, and this happens more often with women because it's not their natural instinct to want to fight after being hurt.
00:13:22.000It's their natural instinct to hurt when they're hurt.
00:16:38.000He goes, you don't need to be a complete fucking scombag.
00:16:42.000And I go, yeah, I can make fun of the way she's talking after she confronted me and I know she's going to be safe.
00:16:46.000And then him and the bartender get into it.
00:16:48.000And it was one of those things where you're sort of, you're getting your fists ready for a brawl and making sure he has no cutlery near him because he was eating a hamburger earlier.
00:16:57.000Actually, that's my favorite kind of brawls, though, in a bar.
00:17:00.000Because there's stools in the way to stop him from really getting a good grip.
00:20:33.000And they accuse conservatives and Trump supporters of being fascists and Nazis simply because we support President Trump and we support free speech.
00:20:40.000But if you go against their left wing agenda, if you post facts, if you're against terrorism or if you're a proud conservative Jewish woman like myself, you'll get banned.
00:20:47.000You'll get banned and sentenced to the digital gulag because you're not allowed to have free speech.
00:21:03.000This is only going to get worse, okay, you guys?
00:21:05.000This situation is only going to further escalate.
00:21:08.000And more conservatives and more people in this country are continuing to have their rights violated by these Nazis in Silicon Valley if President Trump doesn't do something about this.
00:21:16.000If President Trump doesn't start to do something about this and actually lose everything in this country.
00:21:45.000Hey, dude, you are the king of the nerds, but here on Earth, you're a guy with a Bluetooth in his ear and a thin sweatshirt under a leather jacket.
00:22:13.000Well, I wouldn't say that I'm doing great now that I've been financially blacklisted and banned on every single social media platform.
00:22:21.000And, you know, my reputation has been destroyed and I've been branded as a terrorist by one of the most powerful tech companies in the world.
00:22:33.000And I think I'm partly responsible for the boat you are in.
00:22:36.000One of the reasons they listed, they banned you is because you associated with me or you praised me or something like that.
00:22:42.000Yeah, because I shared your legal fund and I said that what was being done to you was wrong.
00:22:48.000And I said that the Proud Boys wasn't a hate organization and that the Proud Boys was originally just a meme.
00:22:54.000It was some joke that was created by you as a way for guys to hang out with each other.
00:22:58.000And so I guess they used that as one of the reasons or excuses to ban me is to say that, well, Laura Loomer likes Gavin McGinnis, so she must be a Nazi.
00:23:09.000Well, a lot of this was about that fund.
00:23:12.000And it sounds to me like the SPLC is behind it because they obviously don't like that fund getting to 100% quarter mil to take them down.
00:23:19.000The SPLC seems inexorably linked to this, but we just saw a picture there.
00:23:24.000So you went to Facebook to confront them, I see.
00:23:30.000I actually went to Jack Dorsey's house too.
00:23:32.000That video should be posting today because what I did is I went to Jack Dorsey's house two days before I got banned on Facebook and I got a projector and I projected the names of everybody who's been banned onto his wall and I put your name on Jack Dorsey's wall.
00:23:46.000And then while I was at his house, he banned the Laura Lumer fan club account and he banned the Periscope on which I was broadcasting it.
00:23:55.000So then he deleted it and he was banning everybody who posted the link to the Periscope.
00:24:17.000You know, I never get attacked for how I look.
00:24:20.000People make jokes about it, but it's not serious.
00:24:22.000But, you know, you get it on every front.
00:24:24.000Even Linda Sarsour, I saw today gloating, saying, this is actually quite sad, which is that high school thing you do where you say, I kind of feel sorry for her.
00:24:38.000And look, I mean, let's not pretend like the Muslims aren't responsible for getting me shut down.
00:24:43.000The Council on American Islamic Relations lobbied Facebook and Twitter to ban me.
00:24:47.000And their litigation director was literally online gloating about how I've been banned and how they've been able to work to get 90% of my income, I guess, evaporated.
00:24:58.000And then he said talk beer, which is essentially a call for jihad in Islam.
00:25:05.000So the Muslims at CARE, which is a terrorist organization, they're allowed to lobby to get me banned and they're allowed to use social media, even though they're actually a terrorist organization.
00:27:38.000They're trying to say that I'm a threat to democracy or whatever.
00:27:42.000And now I have high levels of mercury in my blood.
00:27:45.000And I just, I don't think people really understand like how serious this is, the way that they're targeting people like me and branding me as a terrorist, right?
00:27:55.000Worse than actual terrorist organizations that are online.
00:27:58.000And I'm kind of worried about where it's headed.
00:28:00.000You know, I'm kind of worried about it.
00:28:02.000Well, they humanize animals like MS-13 and jihadists, and they give Omar Kader $10 million when he gets out of Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo or whatever it was.
00:28:14.000And then what they do with the right is they start with deplatforming.
00:28:50.000I mean, they are literally ruining my life, you know?
00:28:52.000And I flipped out on Alex Jones' show the other day and was telling people about what they're doing.
00:28:58.000And now they're trying to make it a meme.
00:28:59.000They're trying to say that my pain and my suffering and this feeling that I have of being totally isolated and shut out from the world is something to laugh at.
00:29:08.000And I just think it's really evil because I have never committed a crime in my life.
00:29:12.000I have never done anything that has harmed anybody.
00:29:14.000I simply reported the truth and said things in a very politically incorrect manner.
00:29:19.000And for that, I'm being punished and I'm being shut off and isolated.
00:29:22.000And I can't talk to my friends anymore.
00:32:07.000I was talking about this with the lawyer the other day, one of my many lawyers I deal with, and he was just so angry about Horetz, which is this progressive newspaper in Israel that is anti-the wall.
00:33:22.000When I see Laura freaking out, and other conservatives thinking there's no future and getting depressed, I like to show them that DNC fight song and other things that they did.
00:33:35.000Like the reason these people are so mad is because they've never lost before.
00:33:38.000They're like a spoiled brat who's never been told no before.
00:33:42.000And when you tell a spoiled brat no, they malfunction.
00:33:51.000That's what Trump Derangement Syndrome is.
00:33:54.000It's a spoiled brat being told no for the first time in her life.
00:33:59.000So just for fun, Homeless Me would like to remind you of the Hillary days, just to give you a nice little palate cleanser of gloating on this wonderful, breezy evening here in New York City.
00:34:50.000And it was all so, it was all white kids, especially up in Canada.
00:34:54.000It was white kids like learning about the five elements of hip-hop, yo.
00:34:58.000And Lynn Manuel Mirando was part of that shit.
00:35:03.000And then, you know, time went by and he stuck around.
00:35:06.000And I think the thing about pop culture is, especially with rap, is if you just stick around, like there was this guy, Tongue Twista, and he would talk to super duper fast.
00:35:16.000And he was seen as a cheesy gimmick in 94.
00:41:35.000And the reason that this is different from Patreon begging is not just the fact that I don't get a cent, but it's because this lawsuit isn't about me suing the SPLC.
00:44:19.000on the side of the freeway yeah because sir that is what it's come to do you know where you are right now the jungle baby okay so what's going on how'd all your stuff get out let me just pause it for a second here ryan do you know how we make fun of trump derangement syndrome and when that that that weird chick with the she's on no hate.com with the yellow
00:44:49.000vest and she goes no oh yeah and then we say look at the lack of empathy for laura loomer and people go you're a hypocrite sometimes you want sympathy uh sometimes you don't no it's called bonafide problems the woman who went no it's an imbecile nothing happened to her nothing will happen to her in fact she lost her if you want to know who's really getting brutally beaten by trump it's us rich people if you if you saw my tax bill this year your
00:45:19.000hair was would go white all my neighbors got reamed with property tax this year but of course no one wants to hear about that because they go poor rich people well the the The the important part of that story is that the no's of the world didn't really lose anything.
00:46:06.000I'm not in a very good mood, by the way.
00:46:07.000I've been having some troubles, personal troubles.
00:46:10.000So that's why this show sucked so much.
00:46:13.000And maybe it's because I'm talking to Laura, but you know, without knowing the context, my first instinct when I see not her, but the woman on the side of the road is sympathy.
00:46:22.000And I can't exactly explain what the parameters of my sympathy are.
00:48:31.000We are in disarray as a nation, and social media, which seemed like a very convenient way to communicate with each other, is turning into a scourge that is destroying lives, getting people fired, affecting families, leading to nervous breakdowns.
00:48:47.000We've got women by the side of the road holding on to their phones and food as the two only important things you need in this world.
00:48:56.000Folks, we're at a time, and I'm going to end this show for the first time eloquently.
00:49:02.000We've already done this before, but this is now eloquently with our motto, not of just of today's episode.
00:49:07.000I just said I was going to be eloquent and then proceeded to have alphabet soup.
