00:02:25.000One thing I should warn you about before we get started.
00:02:29.000Yeah, so Lauren Hill and Wyclef Jain had very successful careers after the Fujis, but that guy Praz, he only had this hit, Ghetto Superstar.
00:05:26.000They're so arrogant, the kids today, that if they're playing foosball or something and it doesn't go where they thought it would, they go glitch.
00:05:32.000Like God is up there just sort of going, oh, oh, shoot, I wasn't watching.
00:06:17.000See, I was wondering maybe if it was a different post for some reason.
00:06:22.000But if you read it and you knew it was today, that's definitely not the training.
00:06:27.000Yeah, it bothers me just as much as you, too.
00:06:29.000And I want To be in your head, so I could weigh out all of the factors, but I think I'm taking your word for all of them, and I'm just as confused, and I think I know the full story.
00:06:38.000So, here's another thing we did: we checked the garbage because we emptied the wastebaskets when we got here, went through the garbage.
00:09:54.000Proc Azrel Michelle is under scrutiny for conspiring to funnel tens of millions of dollars to assist a Malaysian fugitive.
00:10:06.000Court documents revealed Friday indicate Michelle and former Justice Department official George Higginbossum were allegedly involved in an elaborate scheme to funnel the cash to influence investigations involving financer Joe Lowe, who authorities claim is on the lamb.
00:10:30.000Hey, Maya, do you have a story even close to as interesting as that?
00:10:35.000That's the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
00:10:38.000You check in on a rapper that you haven't heard of since the 90s, and he is funneling tens of millions of dollars into the Malaysian court system to free a fugitive.
00:11:21.000I can't even check Twitter to see if it hit.
00:11:23.000I'll get DMs sometimes for some people, and they just say difficult situation, and that, oh yeah, the band fun is not good, and Bon Jovi is actually pretty awesome.
00:11:37.000Well, no, also defending your socks, which, you know, I posted a poll on Instagram whether gray socks and white sneakers are okay, and they're fans of yours, so they said it was okay, but I disagree.
00:13:34.000So if you're getting beat up and someone says Nazi, you're obviously not a Nazi, then they're using a derogatory word and they're using ideology to beat you up to justify it.
00:13:44.000So it sounds like the same thing to me.
00:14:49.000I think there's a good legal argument here.
00:14:52.000If a Jewish guy can charge, and I'm all for that.
00:14:55.000I don't like the idea of hate crimes because you're getting into someone's head, but I want to punish these people, so I'm going to be inconsistent with that.
00:15:02.000But if you can, if it's a hate crime to beat up a Jewish guy and call him a Nazi, then it should be a hate crime to beat up a Christian guy and call him a Nazi.
00:15:13.000It's falsely, it's like, it's actually very strange because it's almost like calling somebody a racial epithet that they are not a member of that race, too.
00:16:23.000So, yes, all the rich people get all their money while the trees cry, while the Indians cry, while the people, forest people, birds don't have a tree to live in anymore because we're throwing away business cards like it ain't no thing.
00:16:53.000There's probably literally one person on earth who goes, that'd be kind of cool to have a Gavin business card back when they were CR-TV yesterday.
00:17:03.000That'd be kind of, okay, I'll sell you all my business cards for a penny.
00:17:07.000This is a conversation that would have to happen 100 years into the future.
00:17:10.000I remember when I quit the old show, the Gavin McInnes show, some guy called and he was like, I want to get the mic flag.
00:17:16.000Maybe we could auction it off for charity?
00:17:18.000Yeah, there'll be a massive demand for that mic flag.
00:21:11.000It's not like anyone's sitting around in a bar going, God, I wish there was a guy playing an electric acoustic guitar so loud I couldn't hear myself think and could no longer have the interesting conversation I'm having.
00:21:20.000So I just turn around and sit and watch a guy play guitar, play other people's songs less good than the original song.
00:22:08.000So I go to see, no, it was the Stranglers.
00:22:11.000I go to see the Stranglers, wonderful punk band, who, by the way, whenever they got a bad review, they used to go to the guy's house and beat him up.
00:22:19.000And if they saw him in the audience, they'd grab him and put him in a chair and tie him to the chair, and he'd be on the stage in the middle of the show.
00:22:31.000But so I go see the Stranglers at Glasgow University in Scotland, and I'm there with my wife, and there's a big fat, it's all old punks.
00:22:40.000So it's guys wearing sex thistle shirts who were really there in the 70s, and they're all bald, or they have maybe the little bit of hair on top they've made blue or something.
00:22:48.000Like 40, literally middle-aged punks, 40 years old.
00:22:53.000And so, and 50 and 60, and they have these cups, that plastic I was just talking about, where if you touch it, it just sort of melts in your hand.
00:24:18.000And as he's walking, I've told this story a hundred times, so sorry if you're a fan and you've heard it too much, but he's just, he's got a strut to himself.
00:24:24.000And he chugs the last one and he crumples it up.
00:24:26.000But no, he goes, he's just about to have the last sip and he goes, sex pestos.
00:24:32.000And then he finishes the last sip, crumples it, throw it, and he goes, we don't care.
00:27:01.000It's not like the utilitarian square one.
00:27:05.000It just means, I'm a Buddhist, I'm a vegetarian.
00:27:08.000What if this was a liberal guy and they dared him to do this?
00:27:10.000Like, that's the thing that I kind of want to do is hold them to it where, okay, there's no pressure wearing a MAGA hat, so we're going to send you over here with a MAGA hat.
00:31:59.000So just, we've already talked about this, but what got her banned was she said, isn't it ironic how the Twitter moment used to celebrate women, LGBTQ, and minorities is a picture of Ilhan Omar.
00:32:45.000I was looking at old footage of us at a party, and I was wearing the Donald Trump star because they were handing it out, and I just thought, oh, let's put it here.
00:32:52.000And I'm looking back at the footage, I'm like, that looks like I'm wearing a Jewish star.
00:33:07.000Anybody with their hand over their elbow is Seagai.
00:33:11.000I'm like, remember, who was it, Dick Cheney?
00:33:15.000No, McCain, John McCain, after the POW camp.
00:33:18.000He can't lift his arms higher than this because they broke his bones so much.
00:33:22.000I don't move my arms higher than that.
00:33:24.000Like if there was something from the shelf that was, I'm not going to do it, but it was like right up there, I would just sort of get on a ladder.
00:33:58.000So she handcuffs herself that thing, and the left is like, what a loser she is.
00:34:02.000She's playing this thing on her bullhorn, the little song on it.
00:34:06.000And then a lot of people got mad at her for the Star of David.
00:34:09.000You know what's funny about that fake indignation and all these people saying, my grandparents died in the Holocaust and you're trivializing that pain.
00:34:57.000So you go, all right, Laura, I'm not sure that was such a smashing success, but this is me checking stupid left-wing Twitter where you could save a bunch of kittens from a burning building and they'd go, he's a pedophile.
00:35:08.000Like they always managed to twist it somehow.
00:35:10.000So I was thinking, I wonder if that was successful.
