00:00:19.000Live from New York, it's Get Off My Lawn with Gavin McGuinness.
00:00:42.000This song is called I Will Chop Your Dollar.
00:00:45.000He is from Nigeria and he will chop your dollar.
00:00:48.000He will make it disappear because he does Nigerian scams.
00:00:52.000And that is such a big part of Nigerian culture that it is also in the pop music where the man has status in Nigeria because he will go chop your dollar by calling the white man and tricking him into giving him monies.
00:01:07.000It's amazing that people fall for that.
00:01:09.000I have over $2 million, but it is painted black.
00:01:13.000I need to get the formula for the chemical that will take the black off the money you can have half.
00:03:28.000The gall of the Charles de Gaulle of Barry Obama to make this the presidential portrait.
00:03:35.000Now, when you first see this, you go, oh, he's doing a cool presidential portrait, Kende Wiley, who I'm from New York, in that I live in New York now.
00:05:12.000Really fascinating in a number of your portraits of men is that they are actually the guise very often of female martyrs, which I found to be kind of brilliant.
00:05:23.000And so when I see works like this, that first of all are stunning.
00:10:28.000So he's using this example of Obama ripe for ridicule.
00:10:33.000They only do the background, which is dumb.
00:10:36.000And they decide, let's make fun of Trump, a painting that doesn't exist.
00:10:39.000And I promise you, Trump's presidential portrait will be normal and look very similar to all the others.
00:10:45.000I promise you, I will punch myself in the face live on air as hard as I possibly can six times if his portrait isn't similar to all the previous portraits.
00:11:45.000It's this sort of like, let's create a fantasy where I'm the founding father, Puerto Ricans are the founding fathers, and then we can be proud and patriotic.
00:12:08.000I correspond with him because I'm an American guy.
00:12:10.000I'm a Canadian immigrant from Scotland, and I feel more affiliation with George Washington than these black people who were born and raised here.
00:12:50.000Oh yeah, that's what I wanted to talk about.
00:12:52.000There's an interesting Huffington Post article written by a blind woman.
00:12:55.000And when I say blind, I mean blind to logic and facts.
00:12:58.000Everyone on the Left, especially around this painting, is totally blind.
00:13:02.000Like that African thing, abandoning them, that doesn't occur to them.
00:13:06.000And this woman, who wrote an article, it's called Kehinde Wiley on the World Stage: A Conversation with the Artist.
00:13:11.000Now, what I find fascinating about this article is it features his paintings from when he started really getting serious, which was around 2004, 2005, up till now.
00:13:21.000And when you look at his paintings, well, actually, you can look at any painting here.
00:13:25.000And when you see 2005, you see a fairly good painting.
00:18:13.000So this shows you this rug, by the way, the rug that's not got the black guy on it, is from some, I can't remember, 17th century Jewish rug.
00:18:27.000So Kendee Wiley's contention seems to be blacks are an integral part of our classical European heritage.
00:18:37.000And he's using a Jewish rug, having it painted by talented Chinese people, and then he just sticks a black thug in the middle who probably sells Coke.
00:18:47.000So you're talking about eugenics, basically, and how blacks deserve to be in the foreground.
00:19:29.000If you go to Wikipedia and you look at presidential portraits, they don't have the past five because they're not public domain, they're private artists.
00:19:38.000But Pamela Geller put them together with the past five.
00:19:42.000And you see, even like George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, they all, Ronald Reagan, they all have their private artists do it, but they respect the heritage of the country.
00:19:57.000I collect presidential plates, and they all look pretty similar.
00:19:59.000I got to say, Barry's does look slightly different, but they all look very similar because there's some reverence to America there, some reverence to tradition.
00:20:13.000There is another thing going on here that I'm not going to advocate because it is a little bit conspiratorial, conspiracy theory, and that is that there's sperm on his head.
00:20:29.000Now, that vein, and he does have veins there, that vein, they're saying, looks like a sperm.
00:20:37.000Now, some of the 4chan guys are cheating and over-enhancing it, and I can tell it's not the original painting.
00:20:44.000They actually screwed up and they made Barry's hair look kind of spiky.
00:20:48.000He looks like Fred Armison after putting gel in his hair.
00:20:52.000And that, they've exaggerated the sperm.
00:20:55.000But for the record, it isn't the craziest thing in the world to say that there's sperm there.
00:21:04.000Kenday Wiley does put sperm in paintings.
00:21:08.000A lot of his paintings will have very visible sperm on them.
00:21:20.000And my theory is that he steals the pattern, puts that on, Photoshops on a picture, sends it to his factory in Beijing, gets it back, and he feels guilty.
00:21:30.000He goes, I got to put something on this.
00:21:32.000Now, I thought it'd be, you could do something with David Cho has been doing, where you just go and put a big splat of pink paint across the middle, across the face.
00:21:42.000David Cho's portraits will have his own face covered with a pink line.
00:23:02.000The painter probably loves Bill and thinks, you know, the Monica thing was slightly annoying, but part of who he is, part of the Bill experience.
00:23:11.000And I still think he was the best person ever.
00:23:13.000Actually, that's kind of how I feel, to be totally honest.
00:23:15.000I appreciate Bill Clinton quite a bit.
00:23:17.000I appreciate that he was small government.
00:23:19.000I think he was, in many ways, more conservative than George W. Bush.
00:23:24.000All I care about at the end of the day is spending and government overreach and open borders.
00:23:31.000So if I had to choose between GW and Clinton, I would way rather have Bill Clinton be president again.
00:23:39.000Maybe not now that they're all dying of old age, but he was much better for the deficit than GW was.
00:23:44.000But he did have sex with an intern, and we did discover this because of sperm on our dress.
00:23:50.000And the artist who painted this has conceded that that shadow going down from those bushes is a dress.
00:23:59.000So I bring that up to say that the concept of adding something sexual and even spermy is not foreign.
00:24:05.000And Cahende Wiley is not foreign to putting sperm on his dress.
00:24:09.000So this theory that Barack Obama has sperm on his head, isn't that crazy?
00:24:16.000But that's not what I'm hanging this episode on.
00:24:18.000I am hanging this episode on the reality that this painting symbolizes so much that is wrong with America.
00:24:27.000Affirmative action, the bigotry of low expectations, a lack of reverence to American history, Barack Obama's megalomania, and the white fetishization of educated blacks.
00:24:43.000All of it just smells of a lack of egalitarianism in this country.
00:24:49.000And as an egalitarian, I don't like that.
00:24:52.000But let's have more of a laugh at Joe Biggs with this bizarre painting.
00:25:35.000And I looked at the Michelle, you're talking about the Michelle Obama portrait, I won with the kooky glasses, which is like a white liberal's favorite kind of black person.
00:25:43.000I want a black person, but not too thuggish, but not too square.
00:25:48.000So get me something quirky, like kooky frames and like one red pant leg.
00:25:54.000Yeah, it looked like Michael Jackson about, you know, a few years into the bleaching process.
00:26:06.000But I'm talking now about the Obama, the male Obama, or I don't know, the more biologically male Obama amongst photoshopped leaves, sent to Beijing to be painted at his sweatshop, and then brought back here with potentially sperm on his face.
00:26:27.000Oh, you must be looking at those chanboards or whatever.
00:26:32.000He did paint sperm in a lot of his paintings, and one of Obama's veins does look curious, but I don't have hard evidence.
00:26:42.000Well, I mean, the first thing I saw when I saw the picture is, A, he's sitting down, and he has like these vines, almost like kudzu or something, growing around him.
00:26:51.000And I just thought it was very fitting because here is a president that literally sat down and watched America deteriorate as he just frolicked amongst the, you know, just doing nothing.
00:27:06.000And it just reminded me of his presidency, just someone who sat there, did nothing, and the earth just started just like overcoming and taking him.
00:27:14.000And eventually, I like the memes eventually just like he's gone.
00:27:17.000Like you just see the vines start going around him and he just disappeared.
00:27:23.000Basically, Trump was the vines, and he just erased my legacy.
00:27:28.000Yeah, it is also symbolic when you look at it with all the other presidents and you think, this portrait is a f ⁇ you portrait to all the other guys.
00:27:38.000Like, you could have got some old black guy who does beautiful stuff.
00:27:43.000I'm sure there's plenty of talented black gay dudes who do photorealism.
00:27:48.000But no, you had to get this gay rebel from New York who was going to make it look totally unlike all the other portraits.
00:27:58.000And you know, the next portrait, Trump's portrait, despite what Kimmel says, is going to be normal.
00:28:02.000And the next, whatever, 20 will be normal.
00:28:04.000So he'll always stick out there as me, me, me, me, me.
00:28:08.000And that's what so much of his presidency was, let's make this about me, and let's make it about a f ⁇ you to them.
00:28:14.000Well, yeah, if you go back and you look at the State of the Union by Trump, he had mentioned America, I can't remember how many times, like 80 times.
00:28:23.000You go back and look at Obama's last State of the Union, it was I, I, I, I, I, me, me, me the entire time.
00:28:42.000That's probably way better than mine, but I'm not sure.
00:28:43.000Sorry to interrupt, but just like Barack Obama, he was the son of an African immigrant, African frolicker who came there, porked an American, then vanished and wasn't around for the kid.
00:28:57.000And then the kid becomes all about, I am from Africa.
00:29:43.000What I don't like is the double standard because I know after eight years, when President Trump has his presidential portrait painted, there's going to be a guy or a lady who paints that.
00:29:52.000And the left is going to dissect that person.
00:29:55.000And eventually, and my theory is this, they're going to find like this guy painted like some old Civil War picture and there was like a slave in the background and he had a neighbor who was friends with a guy who used to be in the KKK.
00:30:07.000And that'll be the headlines on CNN for weeks.
00:30:10.000You know, President Trump's presidential portrait artist once knew a guy who had a friend who dated a lady who had sex with a guy who was part of the KKK.
00:30:19.000And he also painted a Civil War picture one time that depicted a slavery walking shackled in chains.
00:31:11.000The left goes, oh, cute little black person.
00:31:14.000We're going to give you special treatment.
00:31:16.000Yeah, you can paint me with vines growing all over me and make it look like any other presidential portrait ever.
00:31:25.000Trump's going to be on like a M1 Abrams tank with bald eagles sitting on his hand with explosions going off and like a PBR in his right hand just charging through like, you know, let's just say like Somali or something like that, just running through buildings and blowing shit up.
00:31:40.000Well, I would find that equally offensive.
00:34:07.000Well, this has just been a fascinating example of, as you say, the double standard, but also this obsession with diversity and how half-assed affirmative action these diversity mongers are.
00:34:34.000You know, Charles Johnson has a thing where when he sees that someone has a diversity initiative and they're going to put diversity first, he bets against them in the stock market.
00:37:27.000Well, that is the subtext I think they did accidentally.
00:37:30.000Joe, thank you very much for coming on the show.
00:37:32.000I like you more than a friend, and you've been a great backbone to mocking this painting, which is probably going to take up the whole episode.
