00:00:06.000Yeah, live from New York, it's Get Off High One with Kevin McGinnis.
00:00:25.000You wake up late for school, man, you don't want to go You ask him I please, but you still said no No You bitch too, classes had no homework.
00:00:51.000But your teacher preaches class like you're some kind of jerk.
00:00:56.000It's funny them bitching about teachers because they all went to artsy fartsy schools where you could just do anything you wanted at all.
00:01:03.000You would get credit for getting a mohawk.
00:01:07.000That was Fight for Your Right to Party from the album license to Ill.
00:01:11.000I believe it's the most successful rap album of all time.
00:02:23.000But I got to say, it is so badly written.
00:02:28.000And I've noticed this about the in crowd in New York.
00:02:31.000They either grew up going to public schools, so complete illiteracy, or they went to artsy-fartsy schools like these three guys did, or they didn't have to learn anything.
00:02:42.000And you're reading this, and it's funny because these guys are like the kids of doctors and stuff, so their parents had great educations.
00:02:48.000But you're reading this, and it's just like, it reads like a really crappy high school letter.
00:02:54.000We all have different types of friends, right?
00:02:56.000There's the one that's kind of an ass, a-hole, but fun to be around once in a while.
00:03:01.000New sentence, fun to get drunk and talk-ish with, comma, but you never actually call on them for physical or emotional help because they're just unreliable.
00:03:09.000And then in brackets, and kind of an a-hole.
00:03:11.000And then new sentence, or there's the friend you see once in a while and it's nice, and it's a nice hangout, and you're always like, I should spend more time with that person.
00:04:07.000But you notice that when you talk to New Yorkers, like when I used to hang out and party in the scene, they just wouldn't know anything about anything.
00:04:15.000Like they wouldn't know what the word carpet bombing means, or they wouldn't know when World War II was.
00:04:20.000Like they just didn't have a foundation.
00:04:22.000So these liberal revolutionary parents and then these lazy poor parents in New York just totally obliterated education.
00:04:31.000And so they end up just saying platitudes.
00:04:33.000But the reason I brought them up is because back in those days when they had fight for your right to party, I was 14.
00:04:40.000And it was just such stupid, dumb fun.
00:05:45.000I think at the end of it, it's like, girls to do the laundry, girls to do to clean up my room.
00:05:52.000Do you think that's a serious diatribe about how women, young, and this is from a guy who's 18, is saying that women need to do his laundry and clean up his room?
00:07:10.000You're ruining America by turning us into Britain.
00:07:14.000And not just any Britain, but Victorian Britain.
00:07:17.000I remember medium, or I was looking up, because I remember they changed their mind, and they did some really cool stuff.
00:07:24.000Like there was a rape at not Lullapalooza, but Woodstock, I think.
00:07:31.000And it got so crazy in there, and then it wasn't the fun thing I just showed you.
00:07:35.000It was the bad thing, which, by the way, we have laws for, and that's illegal.
00:07:38.000And this woman got raped, and during the awards ceremony, when everyone was partying and having fun, Horowitz got up and said, we need to do something about this.
00:07:46.000Women can't be getting raped at shows.
00:07:48.000We're going to not play shows if this doesn't get under control.
00:07:53.000But then they also got into this apologizing for the past and saying, and I want to separate, by the way, the anti-rape thing with all this stuff.
00:08:00.000That's an important distinction, and that's why we have a legal system to do that distinction.
00:08:04.000But he said, there are no excuses for past lyrics, Adrock told Time Out New York in 1999.
00:09:47.000These academics, they have all these dumb art schools, like the schools these guys went to.
00:09:53.000And then these guys come out without really a strong foundation of history and war and, you know, the political backgrounds of this country and the revolutions we've been through.
00:10:03.000So it makes them more susceptible to rhetoric.
00:10:06.000And they can say things like, you need to own your past words and black women need to, no, white women need to speak to black women and be their allies.
00:10:16.000You know, all these platitudes about fascists always deny that they're fascists.
00:10:21.000And you can get away with that when you didn't get a good education because you don't know about Mussolini and Stalin and Mao and Mugabe, bona fide despots.
00:10:31.000And then I get kind of conspiratorial and think, was that the plan?
00:10:35.000I mean, is one of the reasons they don't encourage math in school anymore so they can manipulate numbers better and say, we need more illegals.
00:14:55.000You tear gassed women and children, ass wipe, and on Thanksgiving weekend, like Mexicans care if it's Thanksgiving, you piece of ished, a-hole, mother-effing, evil creature person.
00:15:16.000If human empathy isn't your jam, how about this?
00:15:19.000You will be the stranger in desperate need someday.
00:15:21.000How do you hope to be treated when it's you who is in an emergency situation and instead of aid, you are punished for not following official protocol?
00:15:30.000If I'm in a war-torn country, I'm going to take, and I'm a refugee, I'm going to take the first country that offers me asylum.
00:15:35.000I'm going to make sure my children are protected as much as possible from the combat element to this.
00:15:41.000If I'm going to sneak in somewhere and break the law, I'm going to be free of babies.
00:15:44.000Remember, there was a baby recently, one of these illegals who died of emphysema or something because she got sick, and they were suing ICE, suing America.
00:15:56.000And you think, you brought it, and the baby was weeks old.
00:15:59.000You know, newborn babies, you don't really leave the house with them.
00:16:02.000I took my three-week-old, when she was three weeks old, my eldest daughter, I took her out for a walk in like December, and it was cold, and I had her all bundled up, of course.
00:16:12.000And I would wear on a baby Bjorn and then have my jacket zipped up, and she'd have just maybe her eyes, just to get some fresh air.
00:16:18.000And I got chastised by these old ladies for daring to take out a baby in that weather.
00:16:23.000That's the way most people see babies in danger.
00:16:26.000But this, they look like they're going to the beach.
00:18:04.000We're going to wrap this segment a little early, Doug, because of some of the language that was used in this segment, and we apologize to our viewers for that.
00:18:09.000I have one last question for you, Doug.
00:18:11.000Where are you going to be spending this Thanksgiving?
00:18:14.000I'm going to be with my 92-year-old mother and family.
00:18:19.000And Rick, I do wish to all viewers, certainly to you and to Anna, a very good holiday.
00:18:25.000We want to reiterate that we do not condone the language that Anna Paulina just displayed here.
00:18:31.000And we apologize to Secretary Clinton for that.
00:18:33.000Fox News does not condone her sentiments.
00:18:57.000We were just watching you on Fox News describe Hillary Clinton as an STD.
00:19:06.000So it probably was not the time or the place to make that brash joke, but I am a biology student and I more or less rent a cold sore.
00:19:14.000I think, you know, with my experience with media, which has been about zero, as you know, oh, I just got out of the military about like four months ago.
00:20:24.000Look at what Alyssa Milano just said about the president, tear gassing and using, I don't know, probably the most grotesque profanity I've ever heard referring to the president.
00:21:50.000It is to make, again, Hispanic single-issue votes.
00:21:53.000And I think you and I had this very discussion when I first came along with you, that they were going to use this for political propaganda, and that's all that is.
00:22:01.000If you turn down asylum in Mexico, turn down asylum from other UN nations, you're not an immigrant.
00:22:57.000Like, we don't need to be here making sure that these people come in and are cutting the line.
00:23:02.000What they then do is they go into the welfare programs here in the United States.
00:23:06.000And I think it was pewhispanic.org that said that not only are Mexican Americans the largest voting demographic, but first-generation Mexicans that don't really know English vote Democrat.
00:23:17.000So do you see that this situation is creating basically a guaranteed vote?
00:23:23.000I mean, you see what happened in Texas with Beth, though.
00:23:25.000Could you imagine if those were where they had resettlements?
00:23:29.000They would have flipped Texas right away.
00:23:30.000Yep, there's no denying that this is definitely about votes.
00:23:33.000The only thing that comes into question is how Machiavellian it was from the beginning.
00:23:38.000What percentage of it was grassroots and what percentage of it was let's get optics so we can get votes.
00:23:43.000And I'm thinking it's 100% the latter at this point.
00:23:48.000If they cared about these people, these organizations would have gone and created work programs so that these people never had to leave their country.
00:23:54.000They never had to be exploited to some of the most dangerous territories in the world, which is the U.S.-Mexico border.
00:24:03.000But if they did, they would have done a lot of stuff different.
00:24:05.000And they would be acknowledging the fact that multiple presidents, whether they were Democrat or Republican, to include Obama, enforced the very same immigration policy.
00:24:54.000There's India, and then there's Southeast Asia, and there's nothing and nothing, and then there's this little dot in the middle where these guys live, and I don't know how they survive.
00:28:08.000So they were just today, they had to pull back.
00:28:12.000When Indian police officers in a small boat pulled within sight of the remote island, they saw something strange.
00:28:17.000A group of islanders were huddled on the beach, carrying bows, arrows, and spears.
00:28:21.000They appeared to be guarding something.
00:28:23.000Police officials said it could have been the body of John Alan Chow, the 26-year-old American missionary, was killed last week as he tried to spread Christianity to North Sentinel, a forbidden island in the Andaman Sea.
00:30:21.000Just like, there's nothing happening here that deserves my attention.
00:30:24.000And you can't discipline them or you get in trouble because it shows up on all the data and the school gets a bad rep. So even if there's a fist fight, she said one day there was a fight where this black girl took this other black girl and she threw her against this wall that had a steel gate.
00:30:40.000I think it was a black girl who took a Muslim girl, threw her behind this thing.
00:30:43.000They had a steel gate within the class that I guess has all the expensive stuff, and then you lock it at the end of the night, like with a big lock.
00:30:49.000It's a steel gate within your classroom.
00:30:52.000And she throws her in there and then locks it.
00:30:55.000And the poor Muslim girl's having a panic attack, stuck in this steel thing, banging on it.
00:30:59.000So the teacher called security, and she got in big trouble for calling security.
00:31:04.000Should have just handled that yourself.
00:37:26.000But I just do want to say that I think what happened with Roseanne is one of the most disgusting examples of political correctness gone mad I've ever seen.
00:37:36.000She was not making an ape joke, and you know that.
00:37:40.000But you just kicked Roseanne off her own show, and now there's a show I keep seeing when I'm in bars, because American bars are flooded with goddamn televisions.
