00:02:30.000Maybe if we can cram it in to this show.
00:02:33.000But before we start anything, the reason I chose a Toronto band is because a Canadian has picked a fight with a guy who lived in Ottawa for a little bit.
00:02:41.000Justin Bieber wants to fight Tom Cruise.
00:06:24.000He ran out of the ring, so Deontay had to chase him around the gym, punching him in the head and knocking him down, which obviously that's what's going to happen.
00:06:32.000The guy's got bricks for hands, and he fights better than Mike Tyson.
00:06:39.000One theory I have is that this guy's viral, and Deontay Wilder's PR people said, Look, 50 million people will click on this, it'll be great.
00:06:48.000Free advertising, you might as well do it.
00:06:50.000It's it's like a minute out of your day.
00:07:56.000Humorless dudes that can't take a joke in your day-to-day walking around.
00:08:00.000But if you're a cop and you can't take a joke, it's deadly.
00:08:04.000And I think this cop suicide rate in NYPD is going up right when they're cracking down on inappropriate language and inappropriate behavior.
00:08:14.000Look, here's the example I always use.
00:08:16.000If you get hit by a subway and the pieces are shattered everywhere, the cops are the ones who have to clean up those body parts and put them in a bag.
00:08:23.000Now, if that cop isn't allowed to pick up a head like Kathy Griffin with Kathy Griffith?
00:08:36.000If you're not allowed to pick up that head and go, hey, it does kind of feel like a bowling ball.
00:08:40.000That joke might sound silly to you, and it's probably very offensive to the dead man's family, but doing a joke like that is crucial to your survival and prevents suicide.
00:08:50.000I'm not saying that she needs to do that to release the stress.
00:14:52.000Before you say these are radicals, and then this is how it's affecting everyone, you have to prove that the guys are radicals in the first place.
00:17:27.000He is scarred by his experience of being radicalized by what he calls a decentralized cult of far-right YouTube personalities who convinced him that Western civilization was under threat from Muslim immigrants.
00:18:37.000It's the same as that Christian Picciolini guy who was a skinhead, and now he's like, I recovered from hate, and now I go around the world telling people how dangerous hate is.
00:19:37.000Show that thing you're just looking at.
00:19:38.000They have this whole all the videos he watched, and you're like, Stefan Molyneux, reasonable guy.
00:19:44.000Um, what else horrible stuff has he watched?
00:19:47.000Oh, Mercedes Carrera, uh, Bud Dwyer shooting himself, um, music industry exposed, a salon article, Gad Sad, Lauren Southern, like, show me the things that Fiamingo, this is the woman, I had her on the Gavin McInnes show, she's an Ottawa professor who was chased out of her school for daring to say that there aren't infinite genders.
00:20:09.000So the left's idea of far right is anyone who doesn't swallow the ridiculous claptrap of the far radical left.
00:20:18.000If you think there are only two genders, you are far right and part of a decentralized cult.
00:20:47.000Callin Robertson and his boyfriend George have been exposed for, among other things, stole Bitcoin worth 20K from Tommy Robinson while the activist was in jail to fund their Jetset lifestyle, booked a luxury Airbnb and six bottles of Dom Perignon on Tommy Robinson's wife's credit card.
00:21:10.000They also did this thing where they, through the Tommy Robinson fund, they would buy super fancy equipment like cameras and stuff, and then sell it and buy cheap secondhand stuff.
00:21:24.000This is Tommy Robinson, who was literally starving to death in jail at the time.
00:21:29.000He worked with Hope Not Hate, an Antifa-affiliated far-left organization.
00:21:35.000They would sell Hope Not Hate information.
00:23:30.000But if you look on that article, you'll see a YouTube video of Tommy confronting Lauren on the phone and her, I think, admitting that she did that.
00:25:00.000Anyway, so I remember these guys, Ezra Levant hired them at Rebel after they said they were fired for being right-wing.
00:25:09.000Why are you showing us you looking for it?
00:25:12.000And then they said, then they started to blackmail Ezra.
00:25:18.000He sent them tons of money for equipment and a studio, and they started blackmailing him, saying they had secret recordings of him threatening them and stuff like that, because they were an absolute nightmare to work with and clearly stealing money from Ezra.
00:25:31.000So then Ezra put out a video saying, look, this has been the worst day of my life.
00:28:15.000He's smart enough to bury his own animosity and put all the juice at the top so you have a reason to read, but it's an incredible story.
00:28:24.000And then third story, Tim Poole puts this out.
00:28:29.000The reason that Enrique Tario of the Proud Boys and other conservatives were debanked by Chase was this journalist from Slate, I believe, named April Glazer.
00:28:45.000I'm so glad this happened because this is exactly the way they act.
00:28:50.000They pretend they're asking a question, but their question is a threat.
00:28:53.000So the way Antifa does it is they say, maybe you should ask McDonald's why they're allowing an employee who's a member of a hate group to flip their burgers.
00:29:02.000Might he put spit in a black guy's burger or something?
00:29:06.000It's posed as an interrogative, but what it means is, McDonald's, if you don't fire this guy, we're going to blow this up.
00:29:12.000So April Glazer, hi there, I'm April, an innocent little journalist at Slate, writing to ask if GPMorgan Chase is aware that the Proud Boys affiliated online store 1776 Shop uses Chase payments as its payment processor.
00:29:26.0001776 Shop is what's redirected from fundthewest.org, which Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnis cited as the legal defense fund of the Proud Boys.
00:29:37.000This is another weird thing I don't get.
00:29:44.000I assume we wanted both of those evil, horrible human beings to have legal defense.
00:29:49.000So even if you hate Proud Boys, why are you against them getting a lawyer?
00:29:53.000Like, I'd understand if it was raising money for their guns, for their imminent race war or something, genuinely dangerous, or you don't want money going to jihadists, who that first thing was a joke.
00:30:07.000Spending money on bombs, but you're not allowed to get a lawyer?
00:30:13.000I even want jihadists to have lawyers.
00:30:15.000Anyway, go back to the Proud Boys are designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group, and members have engaged in group violence in Portland and New York City.
00:31:01.000What you are seeing on your screen right now is an email from a slate journalist named April Blazer.
00:31:07.000For those that are listening on the podcast, I'll just be describing what we're showing.
00:31:11.000This email, in my opinion, shows the tactic of activists in media to de-platform their political rivals through loaded questions and language meant to create maximum pressure and increase the cost of businesses to work with certain political groups.
00:31:48.000Because I've noticed when you look at the thumbnails, when you have a kooky outfit on, it's easier to find the thing that you're looking for.
00:32:35.000Anyone who's tried to remove spray paint knows that there's no magical chemical outside of like hydrochloric acid that's just going to erase the wall entirely.
00:33:10.000And it's a great example of how the bourgeoisie, of which I think you and I are a part of, tend not to have done blue-collar jobs and tend not to know how things like spray paint works.
00:33:24.000So this hustler, this, I'm going to call him a criminal.
00:33:28.000This criminal takes advantage of the fact that we don't truly understand cleaning up spray paint.
00:33:37.000And why he has a bulletproof vest on is particularly annoying.
00:33:41.000I think what goes on in Montreal is how I started Vice, which is there's all these grants to promote equality and diversity and multiculturalism.
00:33:50.000So he saw that going on and he goes, yeah, I'm really good at cleaning up swastikas, spray-painted swastikas.
00:33:58.000And he pretends that he has this special formula and this special machine.
00:34:05.000It's just a $140 water pressure thing, compressed air water pressure doohickey that you get from Walmart, that you plug into a wall and a garden hose.
00:34:17.000And then he cleans up these swastikas, which are backwards, by the way.
00:36:10.000You've got to hustle to survive in Montreal if you're not French and you're not working for the government.
00:36:16.000So what you're watching here is a hustle.
00:36:18.000This guy has a hustle, and it just blew up online because people are so desperate for A, this myth of Nazis, and B, this myth of guys that are magically erasing their evil swastikas from the streets using a magical fucking potion that no one else seems to have.
00:42:03.000Let me tell you, I worked in advertising for many years before my ad agency was shut down because I said trans people are mentally ill-gays, which is a hate fact.
00:42:10.000And I thoroughly enjoyed being a villain during that time because it's something I actually believe.
00:42:16.000This new wave of villainry, this new wave of pillaring where I'm accused of being a hate guy, a hate group leader and a hate monger and whatever, that's not as fun because it's not true.
00:42:29.000So being called a racist when you're not a racist is annoying.
00:42:32.000Being called a transphobe when you're like, well, if being transphobic means you don't take them seriously, then yeah, sure, you got me.
00:44:08.000And now then they make it a black guy.
00:44:10.000And by the way, this is how it works in advertising.
00:44:11.000You finish the commercial, you write it all out, the client approves it, and then someone in the room goes, how are we doing for diversity?
00:46:50.000Yeah, if Seinfeld was in Tracy Morgan's truck.
00:47:00.000So I was watching hockey on the weekend, and I was watching Canadian and American hockey on the weekend.
00:47:07.000And I'm watching the American hockey, and there's all of this propaganda through the NHL telling the kids, gay kids, they can play hockey too.
00:47:18.000I talked to some guy about this, and he goes, yeah, there's a new initiative with the NHL where they want to show gay kids that gay kids can get involved.
00:49:07.000It's like, I'm finally not in the kitchen anymore.
00:49:10.000I'm a liberated woman and I'm not at home spending my husband's money.
00:49:13.000I'm out at work spending, wasting my boss's money.
00:49:17.000And I think they just do this because the woman who works at ITV and has that little bug to sell is talking to another woman who works at the NHL and they're just like spending men's money.
00:49:28.000They're almost like divorced women who get their alimony and are just like, what should I blow this on?
00:49:34.000And meanwhile, we're sitting at home going, why are there so many homosexuals in my sports?
00:49:40.000Meanwhile, you need a reason, just like that New York Times article where it's beholden upon him to prove that these groups are radical.
00:49:48.000It's beholden upon you to prove that hockey and baseball is homophobic before you emasculate them by making them wear pink and show everyone that it's okay to be gay.
00:50:00.000It's like, you might as well, why don't you go into rap?
00:50:03.000Why don't you start attacking the hip-hop community and their homophobic slurs?
00:50:08.000And during rap videos, maybe have a bug for the show.
00:50:26.000I don't mean a place that's below another place.
00:50:28.000I mean a place you actually can procure submarine sandwiches.
00:50:32.000And it is the most intense fight I've ever seen.
00:50:35.000If this fight was in an action movie, it would be Fast and Furious, and you'd probably go, I think Fast and Furious is going a little over the top.
00:50:42.000This is a bit rich for the franchise, but it's not rich for the subway store.
00:52:36.000By the way, if you're at Subway, you want to get the Italian BMT and Provolone cheese and get lots of jalapenos and banana peppers and then oil and vinegar, but don't add salt because you already got salt with the meat.
