00:00:07.000Messed up Live from New York, it's Get Off My Lawn with Kevin McKinnon.
00:00:25.000Mr. Pharmacist Mr. Pharmacist, won't you please Give me some energy Mr. Pharmacist you That's the fall.
00:00:42.000And what you were hearing there was Mark E. Smith, who died recently, the other day, croaked, Mark E. Smith.
00:03:57.000As I tweeted the other day, 76% of my job is keeping the kids away from screens.
00:04:01.000We were playing a festival in Dublin the other week, and there was this other group, like, warming up in the next sort of chalet, and they were terrible.
00:05:33.000Now, I know that doesn't seem that controversial, and it's a good point.
00:05:36.000Why are these Syrians not with their families if they're refugees?
00:05:40.000But the big picture here is saying that in Britain is absolute blasphemy.
00:05:44.000I mean, this guy was the most loved villain.
00:05:47.000I don't want to brag, but I kind of feel a kinship with him where a lot of people like you, and a lot of people hate you, and there's zero in between.
00:05:54.000Also in the news, Trump arrives at Davos.
00:07:31.000Lauren Southern's back from South Africa.
00:07:33.000We're going to show you just a tiny snippet of the content she got there.
00:07:37.000She's got enough for a massive documentary.
00:07:39.000She's not going to let any of it go to waste, so you can look that up on her YouTube page, on her Twitter, but also the imminent documentary and it all.
00:08:13.000I do feel now we're in a different world.
00:08:14.000I mean, now you look at, Tucker Carlson began at the Weekly Standard.
00:08:17.000Tucker Carlson was a great young reporter.
00:08:19.000He was one of the most gifted, I would even say, 24-year-olds I've seen in the 20 years that I edited the magazine.
00:08:26.000It always had a little touch of Pep Buchananism, I would say, paleoconservatism.
00:08:31.000But that's very different from what it's become now.
00:08:33.000Well, you really are, I mean, it is close now to racism, white, I mean, I don't know if it's racism exactly, but ethno-nationalism of some kind, let's call it.
00:08:43.000Okay, what is ethno-nationalism if not white supremacy?
00:08:48.000So he's calling Tucker Carlson a white supremacist.
00:09:06.000As you get older, when you're a journalist, this guy was an editor.
00:09:09.000He was a big swinging dick at Fox News.
00:09:13.000Now he's at the Times, and he's sort of a lone little sheep there amongst the liberal wolves.
00:09:19.000So he's saying he's cashing in his chips.
00:09:22.000And when you say that's racist or America's racist, especially if you're among liberals, it's like in Super Mario Kart, which my kids play, not me.
00:09:30.000And you hit the turbo and just, so if you're playing any kind of racing game, and just towards the finish line, you just hit the turbo, and you just cash in your racism chips, and it gives you an extra little oomph.
00:09:42.000You don't believe it, but it's a good way to sort of coast.
00:09:45.000So he's running out of his own natural energy.
00:09:51.000He's using synthetic energy, which is, that's racist, that's racist.
00:09:54.000Then everyone picks you up on their shoulders and you go, hey, I gotta walk a little bit.
00:09:58.000I mean, I lost some of my character, some of my legacy, some of my honor, but I got an extra little boost.
00:10:05.000So folks at home, if you're having trouble with your career and you need a boost, just call Tucker Carlson or anything else racist, and it gives you a nice little oomph.
00:12:23.000Now, you just got back from South Africa.
00:12:26.000We've been watching your videos on Twitter.
00:12:28.000And, you know, South Africa, we know the story and some of us, the curious class, who cares, is familiar with it, but it just never ceases to amaze me how bad it is.
00:12:42.000I mean, I went there, and every time I go to go cover a story, whether it be the migration crisis in Europe or the situation in South Africa, I go with a grain of salt, and I say, I love the right, and I think they are fairly honest.
00:12:56.000That's why I'm on their side, but there's exaggeration that happens in all media.
00:13:01.000So I always assume there may be a bit of exaggeration.
00:13:04.000When I got to South Africa, boom, none of that.
00:13:07.000All of those assumptions that there was exaggeration going on out the freaking window.
00:13:11.000It was way worse than I thought it would be.
00:14:13.000So that's part of where I think this kind of vitriol and wickedness and the attacks comes from is you've got this kind of two-tier thing going on.
00:14:23.000For people who don't know the ANC, Communist Party, Mandela's Communists, they all preach Marxist ideology.
00:14:29.000So the kind of class struggle, you must defeat the bourgeois, etc., etc.
00:14:34.000And then there's also a strong tribalism between all groups, whether it's Zulu and Zimbabweans, whether it's Afrikaners and whoever.
00:14:42.000There's just strong tribalism in that country.
00:14:45.000So those two things combined, the hatred of other groups as well as the hatred of other classes, creates this just absolute wickedness of anger and jealousy and hatred in these crimes.
00:14:57.000And yeah, they almost feel it's justified, especially when you have government officials going up and putting out rhetoric like the EFF, who get 10% of the vote in South Africa, dancing on a stage saying, shoot the boar, shoot the boar.
00:15:35.000The cops are useless for the most part.
00:15:37.000They'll come over and they'll be like, all right, people died.
00:15:40.000And maybe if, like the one woman that I interviewed, they caught the guy like months and months later and he had already stabbed his girlfriend to death.
00:15:48.000The man who murdered this woman, Janine's father, already stabbed his girlfriend to death.
00:17:00.000They can't get their electricity working because they're only allowed 8% of these people, no matter how competent or great workers they are.
00:17:10.000They go and they take a tobacco farm and you go, okay, it's redistribution.
00:17:14.000It's giving the land back to the people.
00:17:16.000But it's not like they get in there with their hose, and I mean the garden tool.
00:17:20.000They get in there with their hose and start fertilizing the tobacco.
00:17:25.000All the farms just die when they get taken over and then they get abandoned.
00:17:30.000Yeah, and there's almost a desperation among the Afrikaner farmers right now where they're really trying hard.
00:17:36.000They know their land is going to be taken away because all of the government have announced they're going to be doing land expropriation without compensation.
00:17:44.000They're just going to take it away and give it to the Bantu population.
00:17:47.000So Afrikaner farmers are actually really trying hard to train their workers to understand how to run a farm because they don't want their friends to starve.
00:17:57.000It's really difficult to get out of South Africa unless you're a doctor or a lawyer.
00:18:01.000So they're trying desperately to teach these people how to run their farms, even though they know it's going to be taken away from them, which is a really, really sad situation.
00:18:09.000But the truth of the matter is, it's just going to end up like Zimbabwe.
00:18:46.000Luckily, there was a bit of a wine budget as well for when we got home from doing these interviews, just like shaking, having a glass of wine.
00:19:37.000I was literally like, I bought like a huge can of pepper spray, and half my trip was like sitting below window level in the car, just holding my pepper spray and sleeping with a knife beside my bed.
00:19:48.000But here's the thing: it's not like when you're a farmer, it's very likely to happen, actually, murders, but it's not like murders happening every second.
00:19:57.000You could go for a week on a vacation in Johannesburg or Cape Town and go home thinking it's totally fine.
00:20:04.000But the consequence of something happening to you, if it does happen, is far greater than it happening in any other country.
00:20:11.000You're not just going to have your purse stolen.
00:20:13.000You're going to be raped and tortured for days, right?
00:20:16.000So the consequence of these crimes, when they do happen, and they're crimes of opportunity all the time.
00:20:21.000So as long as you're not driving at night, walking on the street, you know, going out without security and all of this, you might be fine, which is why you'll get these working-class liberals who will come home and be like, South Africa is great, you know?
00:20:35.000But yeah, the consequences of them happening is unlike anything in the rest of the world.
00:20:41.000Well, it's the rape capital of the world.
00:20:44.000It reminds me of Lara Logan when she was covering the Arab Spring, and she's just there with this mob with her blonde hair, and I'm going, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:51.000And of course, the worst nightmare happens to her.
00:20:54.000I mean, there must have been moments where you thought, this is not safe.
00:23:56.000A lot of people who are attacked are elderly, women, children.
00:24:00.000And it's the kind of people on the outskirts.
00:24:02.000Get rid of them before you get to the inner-city liberals who will just ignore it, ignore it, ignore it for as long as they can because it'll weaken, of course, weaken the morale, weaken the populace, maybe get as many people as they can to leave.
00:24:14.000And then when it's totally weakened, totally flattened, conquer.
00:24:19.000Well, they're not going to have any food or water to conquer it, which is ironically how the Brits would fight the Boers back in 1900.
00:24:26.000They would starve them of water and food, and they're doing it to them.
00:24:29.000They're not very good warriors, are they?
00:24:31.000Well, Lauren, thanks for coming on the show.
00:24:33.000And I can't express enough how important it is to get the word out to the West because Americans don't realize.
00:24:42.000They think it's still the 80s and Trevor Noah's parents aren't allowed to be together and we have to not play Sun City or something.
00:24:50.000They don't realize that there is a civil war going on.
00:24:56.000And it's, it really, you have to look at it as the inevitable end of kind of the clash of cultures if you don't have, because a lot of it is like serious cultural influence.
00:25:09.000Like a lot of people, the freaking leaders, all of witch doctors that work for them.
00:25:46.000But yeah, no, it's, it's, I'm really glad Katie Hopkins is going to be going as well soon, so I hope she gets some more of the word out.
00:25:53.000And I mean, I hope people start putting pressure on places like CNN, Fox, and all these other outlets to actually go there And cover this because it's, I mean, we talk about a woman whose hijab is cut up in international press.
00:26:25.000There is a foreigner at CRTV starting Monday, roaming millennial, fellow immigrant.
00:26:31.000I've immigrated many times, so is she, and I believe that gives us a much more objective perspective when it comes to talking about immigration.
00:26:41.000We both appreciate our new countries every time we get there.
00:26:44.000But as we look around us, as immigrants, we go, wait a minute, these look like ingrates.
00:26:50.000We have a system now that punishes people who follow the rules.
00:26:54.000And it appears that some of the worst immigrants, some of the least respectful, some of the most illegal, tend to be the most demanding.
00:29:00.000I've always talked about with immigrants, and I'm an immigrant many times over, and I'm very grateful to be in America.
00:29:07.000But there's a new level of immigrant, and this is in Canada too, where not only are they ingrates, but they're indignant about their treatment.
00:29:17.000And I thought you tweeted this recently.
00:29:19.000Illegal immigrants block entrance to Disneyland to protect DACA.
00:29:25.000I mean, can you imagine moving to Japan and blocking their Disneyland?
00:29:30.000I mean, it's, I think, really just exemplifies how bold these dreamers and the illegal immigrants in the United States are.
00:29:39.000I mean, in no other country that I can think of, except maybe Canada, because we're also cucked, do you have illegal immigrants demanding things of you?
00:29:47.000They're not even supposed to be there, but they're actually going so far as to demand things from you.
00:30:09.000And we saw just with the shutdown, people, Democrats specifically, they're actually willing to put these people's interests.
00:30:15.000Again, not supposed to be here, not citizens.
00:30:18.000They're actually willing to put their interests above the interests of actual American citizens and, you know, American service members, for example, which blows my mind.
00:30:26.000Yeah, they go to Chuck Schumer's house.
00:30:29.000They don't care if you're Democrat or Republican.
00:30:31.000You better give them free stuff or they're going to come to your house and terrorize you.
00:30:36.000And I mean, I'm no fan of Chuck Schumer's, but I do feel bad that he's actually having to deal with these people around the clock.
00:32:06.000And, you know, there have also been kind of, there's been talk about these dreamers actually being able to vote, obviously, illegally in some places.
00:32:15.000And, you know, I just see this playing it out.
00:32:17.000And it's just so clear that they're only trying to import voters, right?
00:32:20.000I mean, and I think it was mentioned on Tucker or Sean Hannity last night, too.
00:32:24.000I mean, if these DREAMers were people who, on average, would be 80% likely to vote Republican, Would the Democrats still be fighting so hard for them?
00:32:33.000Well, that was a secret up until a couple weeks ago, where they had, I forget who, she was a senator or something, and she said, to build a wall to destroy DACA would be electoral suicide.
00:32:45.000And we all went, wait a minute, so you're admitting it now.
00:32:48.000You admit that you're only doing this for votes.
00:33:56.000And it's so, it boggles my mind because I'm kind of of the opinion when you're an immigrant, you're kind of a guest in someone's house, right?
00:34:03.000And no one's house is going to be perfect.
00:34:05.000And it's kind of, it's fine and expected and even good for the people who live there to try to make it better, to point out its problems and yada, yada, yada.
00:34:12.000But I feel like as an immigrant, you should actually be more pro that country.
00:34:16.000You know, those should be the most patriotic people because, you know, they've really gained the most from being able to come here.
00:34:22.000And they're really kind of at the good graces of the locals who have said, yeah, okay, we're allowing you to come in.
00:34:29.000And I think we're finding now that the offspring of these immigrants, especially Muslims, they tend to be more radical.
00:34:36.000You know, the Sardov brothers and their parents were normal when the Sardovs were little kids.
00:34:40.000And then they ended up becoming more radical because today the West is you go to the party using your party analogy and you walk in and everyone at the party is going, this party sucks, this party sucks.
00:34:52.000So you feel like, this party sucks, this party sucks.
00:34:56.000I mean, you have to be a dick to blend in.
00:35:01.000And I think there's been actually studies now that have looked at the incidences of terrorism among newly arrived immigrants versus their children, second generation immigrants.
00:35:10.000And we've seen that it actually increases.
00:35:13.000So I think that kind of goes to show that the method of this open boards, we'll just invite a ton of them in, not worry about it, they'll sort themselves out.
00:35:38.000I mean, it's sort of like pseudo-colonialization in a way, which is funny because the left claims to hate that, but it's okay when it's brown people and white people's countries.
00:37:19.000You know, it's sort of a hard conversation to have because you don't want to say to your eight-year-old, hey, just so you know, there's people out there that do really bad things.
00:39:52.000And by the way, this robot, this Roomba, does what you could do in, it takes eight hours to do what you could do in honestly 10 minutes.
00:40:02.000And to use it, by the way, you have to move furniture out of the way.
00:40:06.000So as you're basically working for your Roomba, as you're moving the furniture out of the way, you're thinking, I could have a vacuum in my hand as I do this, and I would be cleaning up the thing.
00:40:15.000But here's the best example, and I'll end on this.
00:40:50.000And as far as the minimum wage goes in these fast food places, having vending machines and an automatic checkout, that's not really a robot.
00:40:59.000What I'm talking about is these dumb machines that are supposed to make your life at home easier and this looming threat of humanoid looking cyborgs that walk around handing us things and saying, hello, I'm from Blade Runner.
