00:00:20.000Live from New York, it's Get Off My Lawn with Gavin McInnes.
00:01:01.000I hate that we're being monitored all the time.
00:01:04.000I hate that Netflix is joking about the 53 people who watch this show, laughing at our habits, shoving them back in our face.
00:01:12.000I hate that my wife was talking about those flying things, you know, where you go into a cylindrical booth with a fan and it lifts you off the ground.
00:01:22.000And she said, I might want to go there on my birthday.
00:01:24.000She gets an ad on Instagram for the one nearest us.
00:01:39.000So I've been saying cat food, cat food, cat food for the past three days because there was a couple who did that and they got cat food ads.
00:01:50.000But yeah, this concept of being monitored and everything has to be documented and everything has to be apologized for at a rock show where you got your camera in.
00:02:48.000If I was told I had to lie and say my entire trip to the right, my entire problem with Islam was a lie and I'm secretly liberal and I love Islam and I don't mean anything I say for the past 10 years, no.
00:04:15.000But we saw Artie Quitter this weekend after his tweet together with Anthony Coomia and the decision for him to address his health issues require him not having to worry about being at the AA show this week.
00:04:23.000Addressing his health issues is priority number one.
00:04:26.000So if he's still doing heroin and he's quitting heroin, I heard it feels like third-degree burns on your entire body.
00:05:03.000I also wanted to talk about this Sarah Sanders.
00:05:07.000It's been a crazy week for the fake news.
00:05:11.000They've had, I think I counted five major blunders this week with saying they have proof that KT McFarlane colluded with the Russians to having to apologize for anonymous sources that were totally invalid.
00:05:35.000By the way, I think this week the good news is they screwed up so many times that they've given up on Russia and now they're just focusing on sexual harassment, which even that is turning out to be a nothing burger.
00:05:56.000But anyway, Levin and Tucker Carlson were talking about this.
00:05:59.000This analogy they're now using to justify their mistakes is, we're like astronomers.
00:06:04.000We're scientists ironing out the kinks.
00:06:07.000This is just our Petri dish showing mold instead of acidic carcinogens.
00:06:13.000Check out this David Frumm explaining it all to us.
00:06:16.000Astronomers make mistakes all the time because science is a process of discovery of truth.
00:06:22.000Astrologers never make mistakes, or at least they never own up to them, because what they are offering is a closed system of ideology and propaganda.
00:06:33.000People just go, why don't I just watch Levin on Levin?
00:06:36.000But there's a crucial problem with his analogy here.
00:06:39.000This show is like a philosophy show where we go, isn't it weird?
00:06:45.000Isn't it weird how these sort of spinster New York women with dried-up ovaries, how they're obsessed with Beyoncé, and they see her as a goddess and they depict her as the Virgin Mary and they have these pictures of her, you know, holding her baby and Kim Kardashian's baby.
00:07:17.000So it's just weird the way they are disgusted by the concept of them having a kid, but then they worship Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian's babies.
00:08:15.000Okay, so the astronomer astrology thing is pathetic, but what's really pathetic is to watch these floundering buffoons yelling at Sarah Sanders.
00:09:08.000The president reacted quite angrily over the weekend to a Washington Post reporter's tweet about crowd size that was quickly deleted.
00:09:15.000I'm wondering if you can help explain the discrepancy between the president's reaction to incidents like this, which he calls fake news and talks quite a bit about, and his silence on actual disinformation campaigns like Russia ran during the 2016 election to deliberately.
00:10:28.000And false accusation lodged against him.
00:10:32.000There was nothing more than an individual trying to put their bias into their reporting and something that, frankly, has gotten a little bit out of control.
00:10:41.000We've seen it time and time again over the last couple of weeks.
00:10:44.000A number of outlets have had to retract and change and rewrite and make editor's notes to a number of different stories, some of them with major impacts, including moving markets.
00:10:55.000This is a big problem, and we think it's something that should be taken seriously.
00:10:59.000Jim reporters' mistakes and disinformation campaign by a foreign government.
00:11:45.000Purposely putting out information that you know to be false.
00:11:48.000Or when you're taking information that hasn't been validated, that hasn't been offered any credibility, and that has been continually denied by a number of people, including people with direct knowledge of an instance.
00:11:59.000This is something that I'm speaking about the number of reports that have taken place over the last couple of weeks.
00:12:06.000I'm simply stating that there should be a certain level of responsibility in that process.
00:12:20.000And then, of course, the left can't shut up about how she's not attractive enough for them.
00:12:24.000They love that about Kellyanne Conway, too, who's 50.
00:12:28.000Sorry, she's not sexy enough for you, you feminists.
00:12:32.000Anyway, that is an example of a woman who should be in the workforce.
00:12:36.000She's great at her job, and we appreciate you.
00:12:40.000But I've been thinking recently about these sexual harassment cases and how a lot of them, the way these women are behaving kind of inadvertently shows that most of them shouldn't be in the workplace.
00:12:50.000So we're going to talk to a roaming millennial about that, who the left doesn't make jokes about how ugly she is for some reason.
00:12:58.000But before that, I want to get back to this bully thing, because this case has exploded since we talked about it yesterday.
00:13:05.000And The Root and Vibe and other African American media is saying that the mother's racist and she's just money grabbing.
00:13:16.000We've seen that there's these GoFundMe accounts that I think raised $57,000.
00:13:20.000Those GoFundMe accounts are fake, by the way.
00:13:23.000I don't think the mother was raising any money.
00:13:25.000They have a picture of a Confederate flag from the dad that's up.
00:13:30.000I heard stories of the dad being a nightmare.
00:13:32.000I heard of him beating the crap out of the mom, punching her teeth in, hitting the kids regularly.
00:13:42.000In fact, Vibe and The Root just ran with these, oh, she said this racist tweet, and she said this on a DM, and there's no evidence that it was her.
00:13:49.000The only thing I could find for sure is I found a tweet from the sister from last year saying he cries himself to sleep every night.
00:13:59.000That's the only legit thing I've seen so far.
00:14:00.000And you're allowed to carry the Confederate flag, by the way.
00:14:04.000It's not proof that you were a racist and your kids deserve to be bullied.
00:14:08.000And that is sort of the problem with all this new information is we're attacking the parents and we're attacking the Confederate flag and we're saying maybe the kid's mom was racist.
00:15:16.000And there is, you know, great sympathy for him.
00:15:19.000I mean, nobody wants to see their kid go through that kind of stuff.
00:15:22.000And nobody wants to go through that kind of stuff.
00:15:24.000I have very little experience with bullying myself, although the small amount that I did encounter ended up with me determining to be more charming, more funny, and so on to win over people and so on.
00:15:36.000But the challenge is, of course, nobody asks the big question of how did this all come to pass?
00:15:41.000How did it come to pass that this kid ended up in this kind of situation?
00:15:45.000I haven't seen any indication of a dad.
00:15:48.000There are some indications from posts the mom has made that there's maybe a history of violence in the family.
00:15:54.000There may have been bullying from the father.
00:15:56.000And so I just look at the entire ecosystem of what has been going on in this family.
00:16:02.000And I view the bullying that manifests as school totally wrong, absolutely wrong, and should be opposed and should be dealt with.
00:16:09.000But my question is not always how do we deal with the symptoms at the moment, but what are the long-term causes of this?
00:16:16.000If this kid grew up in a violent household, if he doesn't have access to a father or has a negative experience of a father, if the mother was bullied in the household, all of these things could very easily combine to create a kind of flashpoint for the manifestation of bullying, which again should be dealt with great sympathy for the kids, but I'm always a big one for, okay, what are all the dominoes that led to this last domino?
00:16:40.000And that is a very tough subject for a lot of people.
00:16:42.000Well, these sports stars and all this virtue signaling, it's just giving a man a fish.
00:16:46.000And we need to teach a man how to fish in this case.
00:16:50.000And, you know, I say to my boys, when you go to school, always do twice as much back as you get.
00:16:56.000So if someone punches you, you punch them back twice as hard.
00:16:59.000Even if it's a friend joking, if your friend goes, punch Buggy Red, then you go, BAM!
00:17:04.000And then he goes, what the hell's your problem?
00:17:35.000Well, this, of course, when I was growing up, and I went to government schools, I went to a private boarding school for a couple of years when I was six.
00:17:41.000The idea of running to a teacher was anathema when I was growing up.
00:17:45.000Like the idea that you're like, eh, you know, run to run to a, you're supposed to deal with it yourself as best you can.
00:17:51.000Like if there's a huge size disparity.
00:17:53.000And Lord knows in junior high school, I know the kids not in junior high school, but in junior high school, you know, you've got some kids who have yet to break the puberty sweat and you've got other kids who look like they need a lawnmower to shave the backs of their fingers because they've just become these huge ogre man monsters.
00:18:07.000And so like, it's like when we played Murder Ball, it used to be called.
00:18:10.000It's now called Dodgeball because I guess there's no truth in advertising anymore.
00:18:13.000But you had the kids who had to hide behind the fat kids.
00:18:15.000You had the kids who could pick up this giant ball with one hand and shoot it like a cannon.
00:19:57.000I don't know what kind of school this kid's in.
00:20:00.000If he's in a fairly reasonable school, okay, yeah.
00:20:02.000But if there is the potential for escalation, then there is, I think there's reason enough to take your kid out of the environment.
00:20:10.000Again, not if it's a little thing, not if you can't deal with it, but that requires a huge amount of intervention on the part of the parents.
00:20:16.000And that to me is that, can you go talk to the other kid's parents?
00:20:19.000And again, having your mom go talk to the other kid's parents isn't always the very best of ideas.
00:20:24.000That can make things pretty bad as well.
00:20:26.000But I am concerned about if you sort of take the, we're going to pop them in the nose, whether this starts to set in motion, the kind of escalation that can be really dangerous.
00:20:35.000I think escalation is the solution here.
00:20:52.000And even if, I don't care if you're working in real estate in Kentucky, there's going to be some adversarial tension there with a bully trying to take your clients.
00:21:01.000And you have to learn how to fight physically, literally, in order to be able to do it metaphorically in the future.
00:21:08.000Okay, let's say that that's a solution.
00:21:09.000I guess the big problem then becomes, Gavin, who's going to teach this boy how to fight?
00:21:23.000Because you certainly don't want to send a kid into a self-defense situation half prepared.
00:21:28.000They really better know what the hell is going on.
00:21:31.000And this is, again, one of the parts of the problem, the single mother phenomenon is that, you know, who is going to teach this sort of alpha male behavior?
00:23:28.000But, you know, one girl stubs his toes and is like, oh, so I think for the mom, it's like, well, if my kid cries, if he was a girl, that would be pretty effective.
00:23:37.000Now, I guess she could argue that it's pretty effective given the response.
00:23:40.000But as a guy, I think that the guy crying phenomena does not fall eventually into the same slot, so to speak, as the girl crying phenomena.
00:23:49.000But you might need a dad around to tell you that.
00:23:51.000You can only cry if you're looking at videos of Marines surprising their kids after being away for a year.
00:23:59.000And that you can't do the ugly cry for that.
00:24:02.000You just have to have that one where you just go.
00:24:05.000Yeah, it's like the Tyr is a prisoner escaping from a Nazi high walled jail.
00:24:26.000It's working in terms of the moms getting resources and so on.
00:24:29.000My particular concern, not with this family, it's like, okay, what kind of plethora of crying sons is now going to avalanche over the internet because it gets so many resources and so much attention.
00:24:41.000It's going to become the new trans kid.
00:25:56.000But there's been times when it's almost gotten physical, like fistfights over the years.
00:26:00.000I've been an entrepreneur, started at an ad agency, a media company.
00:26:04.000You're competing with other people all the time, they're lying about you.
00:26:08.000I mean, it's not high school, it is MMA.
00:26:12.000And I noticed, by the way, that the more you fight in real life, the better you do in business.
00:26:19.000And there's also sort of a sexuality there with all these alphas.
00:26:23.000And no, they should not be able to sexually harass anyone.
00:26:26.000But the way these women are dealing with it by keeping it quiet for 20 years or having sex with the guy or just ignoring it, it just makes me think maybe most of these women don't even belong in the workforce at all.
00:27:03.000So I'm about to head into a meeting and I'm going to try out the Ally app for the first time so that I can track what I'm doing in the meeting.
00:28:54.000And then after that, it gives a suggestion.
00:28:57.000So in this case, it's saying I can use a power phrase before I make my point.
00:29:02.000So I think the idea there is that if I start with something that I really feel strong about saying, then I can finish the rest of my thoughts without feeling as nervous.
00:29:14.000So now I can just press to record and head into the news.
00:29:20.000Our goal is to keep the client happy and get money and then get more gigs so we continue to do this, continue to do this so we can all make money and all have our jobs.
00:31:20.000Now, I have to talk to a woman about this because it's very controversial, these feelings I've been having.
00:31:26.000But it's so hard to even say this because it sounds like you're saying women can't go to work because they'll get raped because they wore a short skirt and they're asking for it and blah, blah, blah.
00:32:06.000And I think when we look at a lot of these fields, I mean, it's often, like you said, there's no excuse for it.
00:32:11.000But at the same time, I think women need to make smart choices of the places they choose to work and the people they choose to surround themselves with.
00:32:18.000I mean, places like Hollywood aren't exactly the, oh yeah, I'm sure they care a lot about, you know, respecting women and consent.
00:32:42.000But I don't know, the way some of these women deal with it, I just think, what are you doing here?
00:32:46.000Like, the whole concept of having sex with someone you don't want to, like, lying underneath him, and just as he has sex with you, you're just sort of there going, oh, well, at least my career will help.
00:33:20.000I refuse to believe that your only option, unless, of course, they were applying force.
00:33:24.000But if we're just talking about coercion, like, you know, I refuse to believe that just, you know, you just had to sit there and take it was your only option.
00:33:48.000But I would remember when I used to box, I would go to meetings and I would do better.
00:33:53.000I ran an ad agency at the time and I would do better because so much of business is conflict and you're competing with other bidders and you're trying to seduce clients and stuff and they might get in there.
00:34:04.000And you get a lot of, not physical fights, but you get a lot of sort of chest puffing.
00:34:09.000And you have to go, f ⁇ you to that guy.
00:34:12.000And women aren't naturally confrontational.
00:34:28.000I think a lot of the reason why women aren't as represented in, you know, Fortune 500 companies as CEOs and stuff like that, because that is a lot of what's in business.
00:34:36.000But I think, you know, the fact that women kind of are naturally like that and we're trying to have to bend over backwards as a society to facilitate people being like that, but we still want to be able to give them a fair shot.
00:34:49.000Like, no, I think if you're going to be in the workforce, you need to be able to, I guess, stand up for yourself and be tough and not let people walk all over you, whether it's a jerk boss who's overstepping the line.
00:35:00.000You need to tell him to F off or just speaking up for yourself in meetings.
00:35:03.000But if that's not you, if you're not a confrontational person, I don't think it can be nurtured.
00:35:09.000I think you should just go, oh, well, I'm a stay-at-home mom.
00:36:08.000They rarely are backup dancers in music videos.
00:36:11.000You can get them an app, you can teach them the moves, but they'd look silly up there.
00:36:16.000And we should stop pretending that they belong in a Jenna Jackson video.
00:36:20.000They're short, fat, bald, white guys, like George Costanza, shouldn't be there in little tights dancing around.
00:36:26.000And if that means that there's less women in the workforce, ooh, I'm scared.
00:36:31.000Right, and I think women who are trying to force all these initiatives, I think they have to realize they're not making it more appealing to hire women, right?
00:36:38.000To think like, oh, I have to give, I have to remind Janet or whoever it is.
00:36:50.000And we got to wrap it up here shortly, but this whole concept of sex and making, like, I have a friend who was writing for TV and the director hit on her and she said, not interested.
00:37:18.000Or with Louis C.K., I saw all these feminists say, you know, I was told to delete a tweet before an interview on a comedy gig because it might offend Louis C.K. And you're like, you can't even tweet?
00:37:29.000Like, you can't even have a rude tweet.
00:37:56.000And it's, again, it's awful that this is even happening, but at the same time, I don't think the right answer is to encourage women to be complacent, right?
