00:00:09.000Well live from New York, it's Get Off My Lock with Kevin McGinnis.
00:00:17.000If I came home too proud of myself, I could wrestle to the foreign choice.
00:02:10.000You know, just listening to Sun Kill Moon and then the streets and Billy Bragg standing in a park looking at the waves crash against the rocks because I'm the dead dad guy.
00:02:19.000It's a little bit of a consolation after your parents pass away that you get to be melodramatic and people go, are you okay?
00:03:43.000If you can find some sexual harassment thing or with him or Tucker, get rid of those guys.
00:03:47.000And they just had something in the news the other day where they said Tucker had violated the standards and practices by having biased news.
00:07:58.000At the very end there, you could see him not liking his analogy.
00:08:02.000I know from personal experience, sometimes garbage will fall out of my mouth and I'll just go, yeah, this isn't.
00:08:08.000Like I was saying to Milo the other day, I go, you know, you could argue the Catholic Church, it was the impetus for separating church and state.
00:08:15.000And he goes, that's a very generous reading.
00:08:18.000And I went, yeah, that's total garbage.
00:09:41.000If you just scream to the untrained larynx, it's only going to last maybe like 30 seconds max.
00:09:49.000The idea they're just going to sit there and scream, I think they watch too much TV.
00:09:52.000This one, this happened all over the country, by the way.
00:09:55.000This wasn't one group in New York of Vantifa.
00:09:58.000This was thousands of people all across the country literally screamed at the sky in order to unhinge and dethrone Donald Trump and Mike Pence and Congress and everyone.
00:13:04.000You know, when you see these social justice warriors, these antifa kids wearing hammer and sickle pins and screaming against free speech, trying to shut down a free speech event, you think, can you imagine the balls it would take to be the reverse?
00:13:17.000Can you imagine being in Russia, being a free speech advocate, a libertarian, and fighting against the hammer and the sickle for your right to be free?
00:13:27.000Now that would be something that impresses me.
00:13:30.000And therefore, I bring you Mikhail Svetov.
00:13:36.000He's trying to get the libertarian party into the Moscow parliament.
00:13:41.000And he was recently arrested for doing a lecture and attending a luncheon, Adam Smith Forum, it's called.
00:13:49.000Now, the powers that be tell me, no, no, no, they were there because there's a Bolshevik anniversary and there's all these anti-government protests.
00:13:57.000And we thought he was with them, which I don't believe because they just took him in last night and arrested him.
00:14:04.000We got this interview shortly before the government took him in for more questioning.
00:14:10.000And talking to Mikhail, it makes me wonder, is it possible for a libertarian to survive Russia?
00:14:19.000Hello, and welcome back to Dobrovsky Television.
00:14:22.000Today on the show, we have Mikhail Svetov, which is Russian for no sweating, get your sweat off.
00:14:30.000Its original track pants are made of Svetov.
00:15:20.000I heard you need about 30,000 signatures for that to even be a possibility.
00:15:25.000Yes, we already tried that four years ago in the previous elections.
00:15:29.000It was really tough because basically when we were starting to get close to that number, we had thugs sent to us and they basically attacked our candidate and our activists and ripped the signatures apart.
00:16:15.000There's much bigger things happening right now.
00:16:18.000We have a presidential election happening next year in March, and there's an opposition candidate running for the as a candidate, trying to run as a candidate.
00:16:29.000He's not a libertarian, but the libertarian party is supporting him in every way possible because he's a true opposition.
00:16:34.000And basically, he's not being allowed on the ballot.
00:16:37.000He collected over several hundred thousand signatures at this point from all over Russia.
00:16:42.000And he's being jailed like every other week.
00:16:46.000He's being put to jail for trying to hold a presidential rally, for trying to hold a rally for his supporters.
00:16:53.000Now, we're getting a hum on the speakers here, and I can't help but think it's somehow you being investigated, you being bugged.
00:17:00.000Aren't you scared yourself of you getting arrested?
00:17:05.000And that's basically why we asked you to put me on your show is because two days ago, we had this economics forum, which is called Adam Smith Forum, where we invite different speakers from different countries to talk about economic liberties and personal liberties and such.
00:17:22.000And we had a president of Cato Institute, we had Joe Sorens of the Freedom State Projects, lots of libertarians from around the world.
00:17:28.000But this year, 26 of our guests and some of our lecturers, including myself, were arrested and right now being interrogated as witnesses in criminal cases of domestic terrorism and inciting of mass violence.
00:17:48.000And the last time it happened to the Russian opposition, a lot of witnesses were quickly made into suspects.
00:17:54.000And that's why I'm raising awareness of what's happening right now.
00:17:58.000Yeah, that protected Monica Lewinsky here in America.
00:18:01.000They got her on file, they got her on tape, and then killing her or making her disappear would be too conspicuous.
00:18:08.000So I'm determined to make you as conspicuous as possible.
00:18:11.000And I think it's funny that anything that's considered liberating the people from the government is somehow treasonous and dangerous.
00:20:18.000Well, according to Naomi Schaefer-Reilly in the new Trail of Tears, she blames it on the welfare state and how it's killed the whole culture on reservations because they're on welfare.
00:21:23.000She came in for this murder case, but they're not sure if they can make it a murder case because technically the girl, the victim, died of frostbite.
00:21:30.000She died because her lungs got too cold.
00:21:33.000One of the problems on the Reds is the Reds have their own police.
00:21:37.000So I'm sorry that white people aren't doing more to solve these crimes.
00:22:44.000I got political because they made it political.
00:23:07.000I was on the TV and Brett and they're talking about Trump and Trump in the age of satire and how, well, basically it's about how America has lost its way, which I would agree with when you're talking about satire and comedy.
00:23:21.000Very serious, though, very melodramatic.
00:23:23.000And I'm going to watch the clip of me because I'm a megalomaniac and we're on the me show.
00:23:46.000He's Scottish, but he's lived in England for, I smell like 12 years, and it's sort of stripped his Scot.
00:23:56.000That's how you get to the Sean Connery Scott.
00:23:57.000But anyway, he's driving to my home in the suburbs.
00:24:02.000And yeah, I do have to be careful about where I live.
00:24:04.000All these conservatives I know, they won't let me talk about this on air and name names because they don't want to give the left a victory.
00:24:47.000There's a video about it called The Punishment Fits for Crime, about these guys going over to alt-right houses and kicking the crap out of them.
00:24:55.000Now, I know I'm not alt-right, but the left doesn't distinguish.
00:24:58.000You know, Mike Pence is the same as Richard Spencer to them.
00:29:48.000Well, I'm not sure if you know who Right Wing Watch is, but they released sort of a hit piece.
00:29:53.000And, you know, we're listing people like Brittany Pettibone as these right-wing extremists.
00:29:58.000And then also listing people like me, Sargon, and Sven Manu as accomplices of the alt-right.
00:30:04.000And then listing just everything everyone's done, interviewed, spoken about, not actually listing what any of these people believe, whether they actually are alt-right and white nationalists, just kind of like connections that they've had.
00:30:39.000No, but it's so much easier to just be like, oh, so, you know, you've been on Red Ice TV or they mentioned you one time.
00:30:45.000So therefore, obviously, you know, you must be at least in cahoots with them in some way, as opposed to just actually listening to what you're saying.
00:31:34.000And it's not just that he was in the photo with him, though.
00:31:37.000It's that he was in the photo and didn't punch the other guy in the face as a Nazi, which is clearly what we're supposed to do when we're in those situations.
00:31:44.000I interviewed Richard Spencer, was it this year or last year?
00:31:49.000And since then, I've had people accusing me of being alt-right, a white nationalist.
00:31:53.000Most of the people didn't even watch the interview.
00:31:55.000And I know that for a fact because toward the end, I made what was a questionably edgy joke, and no one's brought it up, which I feel like if they had heard it, these people would definitely be bringing it up.
00:32:03.000And they haven't, so I know they didn't watch it.
00:32:05.000And yeah, I've been accused of dog whistling and stuff like that when I talk about things like individual liberty, which is apparently code for white supremacy.
00:32:13.000Now, let's explain dog whistles to the baby boomers.
00:32:17.000This is a term that means you say something and it sounds fine, but there's a secret code in there that the white nationalists can hear that say, like, kill the Jews on Thursday at 4 p.m.
00:32:27.000It's sort of a way for white nationalists Right to kind of signal to each other that they have the same beliefs, but you know, to the average person watching, it sounds okay.
00:32:37.000So, yeah, kind of like a secret handshake of either imagery, language, ideology, anything like that.
00:32:44.000And here's what drives me nuts about that whole concept: why?
00:32:49.000Why would someone have secret messages?
00:32:52.000Sam Hyde lost his show on Cartoon Network because they said he was hiding swastikas in the background.
00:32:58.000They just said it and it was accepted.
00:33:19.000Well, I mean, just a lot of the, and you notice that a lot of the people who are alleging these dogballs, they're not actually the alt-right themselves.
00:33:28.000Because I've never been accused of being alt-right or sympathetic to the alt-right from anyone who's actually in the alt-right.
00:33:33.000It's always these progressive extremist leftists who don't actually care what the alt-right themselves have to say about anyone else and whether they're all right.
00:33:40.000They're apparently the arbiters of who's alt-right.
00:33:42.000Yeah, Martina Markota is a woman who's being pilloried by the left for being associated with the alt-right.
00:34:21.000He did sneak in Muslim messages into the comics.
00:34:24.000They do associate with bad people that they do agree with.
00:34:28.000We see time and time again, these academics, these politicians being caught with the Muslim Brotherhood, being caught with Hamas, being linked to terrorism, terrorist mosques.
00:34:43.000I mean, and you even have people like Linda Sarsour, who is this feminist icon, on tape saying, you know, anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist things.
00:34:52.000No one talks about it, but because, I don't know, someone like Bannon like knew this guy or posted this edge, like whatever.
00:35:00.000But a leftist can like actively express things that are either racist or, you know, sexist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, and they won't say anything.
00:35:11.000And I feel like, you know, a lot of these activists who complain about dog whistle, they, dog whistling, they complain more about those who allegedly dog whistle than the people who are outright and outspokenly al-right, right?
00:35:21.000These people complain way more about people like, I don't know, let's say you, for example, than they actually do Richard Spencer.
00:35:34.000And there's plenty of, if you want to get into sexism and homophobia, there's plenty of Muslims, devout, spiritual Muslims that would love to explain to you why gays are going to hell and why gays are evil, yet they're just consumed with white people.
00:36:18.000They are lunatics, obsessive, myopic ex-girlfriends.
00:36:23.000Well, I mean, it's kind of bad now because not only are they trying to pull in these political commentators or political figures, we actually now have people like Taylor Swift getting accused of being sympathetic to the alt-right or white supremacists herself.
00:38:37.000And I think what we have to do is just say, I'm not racist once, make it clear, bookmark that.
00:38:42.000And then when they scream it, just send them there rather than fall into their trap and end up defending yourself constantly, repeating the same thing again and again and again, like Sololinsky wants you to.
