Get Off My Lawn - Gavin McInnes - Get Off My Lawn #82 | High and Inside

00:00:19.000 Live from New York, it's Get Off My Lawn with Gavin McGuinness.

00:00:30.000 This is Uzodinma Apechi from Nigeria.

00:00:35.000 I don't stop at nothing small.

00:00:38.000 Open say I get sense.

00:00:42.000 This song is called I Will Chop Your Dollar.

00:00:45.000 He is from Nigeria and he will chop your dollar. 1.00

00:00:48.000 He will make it disappear because he does Nigerian scams. 1.00

00:00:52.000 And 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.

00:01:07.000 It's amazing that people fall for that.

00:01:09.000 I have over $2 million, but it is painted black.

00:01:13.000 I need to get the formula for the chemical that will take the black off the money you can have half.

00:01:19.000 Yeah, no problem.

00:01:21.000 High and inside.

00:01:22.000 Some Yankee becomes a drug kingpin. 0.98

00:01:24.000 I hate the Yankees, but I've done a lot of Coke over the years as a young man, so it's hard to criticize.

00:01:30.000 No, I'm just kidding.

00:01:30.000 Cooks and off.

00:01:31.000 He was on the Yankees for two months.

00:01:32.000 What?

00:01:33.000 He was on the Yankees for two months.

00:01:34.000 I don't consider him a Yankee dude.

00:01:36.000 Oh, look at the Yankee fan.

00:01:37.000 Get all set.

00:01:38.000 I'm telling you, Dave, the Mets are going to blaze this year.

00:01:42.000 I wouldn't be surprised if it's Yankees Mets in the World Series.

00:01:45.000 That'd be pretty great.

00:01:46.000 Death threat against Don Jr.

00:01:48.000 Someone sent his wife what might be anthrax. 0.58

00:01:51.000 And of course, the left loves to joke about it.

00:01:53.000 Oh, I wish Don Jr. opened it.

00:01:56.000 They want us dead.

00:01:58.000 They don't want to debate us.

00:01:59.000 They don't want us to lose.

00:02:00.000 They want us dead.

00:02:02.000 And it's ironic because I don't want them dead.

00:02:04.000 They think we're evil.

00:02:05.000 We just think they're wrong.

00:02:06.000 I just want to ridicule them.

00:02:07.000 And they're very easy.

00:02:08.000 Who was it who said, oh, Lord, let my enemies be ridiculous?

00:02:14.000 But they are.

00:02:16.000 So they're easy to ridicule, but I don't want to kill them.

00:02:18.000 I don't even want to kill Antifa.

00:02:20.000 I just want to throw a pie in their face and maybe punch them if they punch us.

00:02:23.000 But no, they really want us dead.

00:02:25.000 And they talk about genocide all the time, but that's because they're projecting.

00:02:28.000 They're Stalinists, and Stalin loves projection.

00:02:31.000 Anyway, I don't want to talk about that.

00:02:33.000 I want to devote this entire episode to Obama's portrait because I think it sums up everything that's wrong with America.

00:02:43.000 It was done by a man named Kihende Wiley.

00:02:45.000 This is actually a meme that I think Joe Biggs did where he put, what's her name's head?

00:02:51.000 Kathy Griffin's head. 0.98

00:02:54.000 Look at that.

00:02:56.000 That's a joke, but it's also real.

00:02:58.000 There's a real woman behind Kathy Griffin that Kehende Wiley really painted.

00:03:03.000 But we love him because he is from Africa.

00:03:05.000 Not really.

00:03:07.000 The sperm that made him is from Africa, but the Nigerian was not around. 1.00

00:03:12.000 He was back in Nigeria chopping your dollar.

00:03:15.000 Anyway, I want to do a very in-depth look at this painting because it says it all.

00:03:20.000 Let's start the show.

00:03:22.000 I'm fascinated by this.

00:03:25.000 I'm fascinated by this portrait.

00:03:28.000 The gall of the Charles de Gaulle of Barry Obama to make this the presidential portrait.

00:03:35.000 Now, 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.

00:03:46.000 And Kende Wiley is a god here.

00:03:49.000 He is a black man who is a gay man who is talented.

00:03:53.000 The end.

00:03:54.000 That's all you need to be a god among liberals here.

00:03:57.000 And they fallate him at every turn.

00:03:59.000 God, they love him so much.

00:04:01.000 Actually, I've got a funny video here.

00:04:03.000 I'm sort of doing this out of sequence, but check this out.

00:04:08.000 This is some artsy fartsy woman. 1.00

00:04:11.000 This woman, women in art, really sum up liberals. 1.00

00:04:14.000 New York women in art who work at Art Forum are perfect personifications, because they're not truly people, of what liberals are like. 1.00

00:04:24.000 So here she is with Cahinde.

00:04:25.000 She's standing, sorry, sitting next to a portrait of a woman who has cut a white woman's head off.

00:04:32.000 A black woman has cut a white woman's head off. 0.99

00:04:34.000 We'll talk to Joe Biggs about this shortly.

00:04:37.000 He very clearly called it a kill whitey gesture.

00:04:41.000 And what do whites do when they see themselves beheaded?

00:04:44.000 They go, that is stunning.

00:04:46.000 That's beautiful.

00:04:47.000 Can you imagine?

00:04:49.000 Everything reversed here.

00:04:50.000 A black male interview.

00:04:52.000 We're talking to a white woman.

00:04:53.000 The picture is of a white man decapitating a black man.

00:04:58.000 And can you imagine that black man going, this is absolutely stunning?

00:05:03.000 Doesn't fit in here, doesn't get in, doesn't make it through the cuts, does it?

00:05:07.000 Stopped at the border, stopped at the wall.

00:05:11.000 All right, listen to this.

00:05:12.000 Really 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.

00:05:23.000 And so when I see works like this, that first of all are stunning.

00:05:29.000 Stunning.

00:05:30.000 Well, yeah, it is kind of technically, literally stunning.

00:05:34.000 Are very visually and compositionally powerful.

00:05:39.000 How have you come now to be depicting women more and more?

00:05:45.000 And what can you tell us about works such as the one behind us, which is astounding?

00:05:50.000 The work behind this was actually a study.

00:05:53.000 And so they can't show it.

00:05:58.000 What I wanted to do was to begin a conversation about fashion.

00:06:02.000 And for this project, I actually started with Ricardo Tichi of Givenchi.

00:06:08.000 And what was it?

00:06:09.000 They did it for Given Chi.

00:06:11.000 Now, I don't want to call the guy a fraud because his paintings were good even before he started shipping them out to China.

00:06:22.000 But this whole thing is fraudulent, and it is indicative of the trouble with the far left, with radicals.

00:06:29.000 They want to wipe out traditionalism, and what do they replace it with?

00:06:32.000 Garbage.

00:06:33.000 And the crap they replace it with is a giant FU to the past.

00:06:39.000 You know what I mean?

00:06:40.000 Like every time there's a progression, is it a giant FU to the past?

00:06:44.000 Or does it incorporate the past?

00:06:45.000 I would even argue that the colonists who took over America after 400 years of war revered Indians.

00:06:55.000 That's why they named so many places after Indians.

00:06:57.000 That's why they are so, Americans today are so outraged about wounded knee.

00:07:04.000 That's why soldiers try to revoke the reddles that were awarded for wounded knee. 0.99

00:07:08.000 That's why we call it a Jeep Cherokee.

00:07:10.000 That's why we call teams the braves, because we revere the most worthy adversary we've ever had, which is the Indians. 0.98

00:07:17.000 Again, we beat the Nazis in a couple years, and it costs less money than Obama's website.

00:07:23.000 The Indians, generations perished trying to keep up with them. 1.00

00:07:28.000 But I've got so much to talk about here with this, because it tells so much about America, this painting.

00:07:35.000 Like, first of all, all right, this is a great time, a great chance to mock Barack Obama, right?

00:07:41.000 Let's see what the late night hosts do.

00:07:43.000 And remember, they have higher IQs than the rest of us.

00:07:46.000 So if you want to know what you would think of something if you were smart, then ask a late night host.

00:07:52.000 And Dave, you could start this at any time.

00:07:55.000 And his wife, Michelle, were honored at the Smithsonian today with the unveiling of their official portraits.

00:08:00.000 This is a tradition that goes back to George Washington in 1796.

00:08:04.000 It's a big deal, and the Obamas were there in person to be part of it.

00:08:08.000 Woo! 0.99

00:08:15.000 Can you just pause it?

00:08:17.000 That is what Obama's saying.

00:08:19.000 He is calling us bitches.

00:08:21.000 When you look at that painting compared to all the other presidential paintings, he's calling us a bitch.

00:08:29.000 He is saying, I'm not like you.

00:08:31.000 I'm different.

00:08:32.000 My people, I rocked it.

00:08:34.000 I'm not a president.

00:08:35.000 I'm not like other presidents.

00:08:37.000 All you dead white males are boring. 0.88

00:08:40.000 I rock.

00:08:42.000 And this will become particularly evident when we have 10 more paintings.

00:08:47.000 What a vile human being Barack Obama is.

00:08:50.000 You know, I'm reminded of when he met John Lott, the author of More Guns, Less Crime.

00:08:54.000 And John Lott, he said, you're the gun guy, Barack Obama says.

00:08:57.000 And John Lott goes, well, I don't know if I'm the gun guy.

00:08:59.000 I'm the crime stats guy.

00:09:01.000 I don't think anyone should have guns.

00:09:04.000 Well, I think that's a little drastic.

00:09:06.000 Let's have lunch and discuss it.

00:09:07.000 And Obama goes, turns around and walks away without saying goodbye.

00:09:11.000 This is his fellow Chicago you professor.

00:09:14.000 That is Barack Obama in a nutshell.

00:09:16.000 It's about me and you're an idiot.

00:09:19.000 That's what this painting means.

00:09:20.000 I'm unique and you're a loser.

00:09:24.000 Okay, go ahead.

00:09:29.000 You're on your own, bitches. 1.00

00:09:31.000 I like it.

00:09:31.000 It's very modern.

00:09:35.000 This is the real portrait of Obama by the artist Cahindi Wiley.

00:09:38.000 It's not the traditional man posing in front of desk with American flag in the background.

00:09:44.000 It depicts the president in front of flowers that represent Chicago, Africa, and Hawaii.

00:09:48.000 Although I'm sure that's what they represent because the artist said is what they represent, but that background looks very...

00:09:55.000 Oh, that's weird.

00:09:57.000 This is weird watching this in New York because you realize no one's heard of Kahende Wiley, whereas here in New York.

00:10:03.000 Future President Zolti for his mug shop.

00:10:06.000 Speaking of the future and presidents, this portrait got me thinking today.

00:10:10.000 I wonder, you know, the president gets to pick the artist.

00:10:12.000 I wonder what Trump's official portrait is going to look like.

00:10:16.000 And I imagine it will look something like this.

00:10:19.000 Right?

00:10:25.000 All right, that's enough.

00:10:27.000 Isn't that bizarre?

00:10:28.000 So he's using this example of Obama ripe for ridicule.

00:10:33.000 They only do the background, which is dumb.

00:10:36.000 And they decide, let's make fun of Trump, a painting that doesn't exist.

00:10:39.000 And I promise you, Trump's presidential portrait will be normal and look very similar to all the others.

00:10:45.000 I 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.

00:10:56.000 Barack Obama, what have you done?

00:11:00.000 And you know what Cande Wiley's all about?

00:11:03.000 He's all about this, I'm going to put black people in white history, which is seen as empowering. 0.63

00:11:09.000 I honestly don't get that.

00:11:10.000 Like Hamilton, like this picture, okay?

00:11:13.000 This is called Napoleon Leading the Army Over the Alps.

00:11:16.000 And what he does is he's gay, right? 0.96

00:11:18.000 So he's obsessed with black thugs.

00:11:20.000 They turn him on.

00:11:20.000 So he has these black thugs from Harlem and he puts them in Napoleon.

00:11:25.000 But that black thug didn't go over the Alps. 0.99

00:11:28.000 And by the way, you had a Chinese guy paint it.

00:11:32.000 So you've got, you're all about black empowerment and you're using Chinese people to paint blacks into white people's history. 0.99

00:11:41.000 It's Hamilton all over again.

00:11:43.000 It's like the movie Black Panther.

00:11:45.000 It'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.

00:11:52.000 Why?

00:11:53.000 Why do you need to have your race represented to be patriotic? 1.00

00:11:58.000 That's not what America's about.

00:11:59.000 America, ironically, is about forgetting about race and just going, George Washington isn't a white guy.

00:12:05.000 George Washington is an American guy.

00:12:08.000 I correspond with him because I'm an American guy.

00:12:10.000 I'm a Canadian immigrant from Scotland, and I feel more affiliation with George Washington than these black people who were born and raised here.

00:12:18.000 Why is that?

00:12:19.000 Because you're white. 0.93

00:12:21.000 No, because I'm patriotic.

00:12:23.000 And you are not.

00:12:23.000 Even his name, Kehende Wiley.

00:12:25.000 Look, he's got more allegiance to Africa when an African screwed him over by abandoning him as a child. 0.96

00:12:33.000 Isn't that bizarre?

00:12:34.000 Barack Obama is the same way.

00:12:36.000 Barack Obama's allegiance is to Islam, to Africa, to the rest of America.

00:12:40.000 That's what he loves.

00:12:42.000 And that, the third world abandoned him, left him on his own. 0.94

00:12:48.000 All right.

00:12:50.000 Oh yeah, that's what I wanted to talk about.

00:12:52.000 There's an interesting Huffington Post article written by a blind woman.

00:12:55.000 And when I say blind, I mean blind to logic and facts.

00:12:58.000 Everyone on the Left, especially around this painting, is totally blind.

00:13:02.000 Like that African thing, abandoning them, that doesn't occur to them.

00:13:06.000 And this woman, who wrote an article, it's called Kehinde Wiley on the World Stage: A Conversation with the Artist.

00:13:11.000 Now, 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.

00:13:21.000 And when you look at his paintings, well, actually, you can look at any painting here.

00:13:25.000 And when you see 2005, you see a fairly good painting.

00:13:29.000 Like, go down.

00:13:31.000 Okay, stop.

00:13:32.000 That's 2011.

00:13:34.000 Stunning photorealism, right?

00:13:37.000 Half these backgrounds, by the way.

00:13:39.000 Like, the background for Obama was just Photoshopped.

00:13:42.000 He just found a picture of some floral prints and then just repeated it with a stamp in Photoshop.

00:13:49.000 In fact, I bet he didn't even do that.

00:13:50.000 I bet he had someone else do that.

00:13:52.000 But this is 2011 when he started sending photos to China.

00:13:56.000 He has a factory in Beijing.

00:13:58.000 He's got a sweatshop in Beijing.

00:14:00.000 Which, again, doesn't occur to liberals to point out.

00:14:03.000 I think it's because most artists do this now.

00:14:06.000 Like I used to hang out with the people who did Peter Haley's paintings.

00:14:10.000 Have you got him?

00:14:11.000 Dave, he's a little bit down the links there.

00:14:14.000 Peter Haley's a New York artist who does, I don't know what's it called when it's just circles and squares.

00:14:19.000 Is that cubism?

00:14:21.000 But just a bunch of circles and squares, very successful pop artists.

00:14:24.000 He used to do Index Magazine.

00:14:26.000 And I used to hang with the crew who did these paintings.

00:14:29.000 Fun little team, dated one of them actually.

00:14:32.000 And they would just sit in his big warehouse in New York and draw these circles and squares.

00:14:40.000 There'd be like 10 of those.

00:14:42.000 There'd be 15 of these.

00:14:43.000 A limited print.

00:14:44.000 In fact, one of the guys I know who would do them, he's sitting there painting his squares and he just gives one to his friend.

00:14:50.000 Because half the time they'd have Peter Haley, I shouldn't say half the time because he could sue me.

00:14:54.000 I was told that these interns who do these things for cheap wages would sometimes do his signature.

00:15:00.000 So he gives his buddy one here.

00:15:02.000 It's a $10,000 painting.

00:15:04.000 Thanks, man.

00:15:06.000 And then Peter asks for it back because he has a show in Tokyo or something.

00:15:10.000 So he goes, oh, isht.

00:15:12.000 What happened to that painting?

00:15:13.000 I need it back.

00:15:14.000 He goes, I sold it.

00:15:15.000 What?

00:15:16.000 What am I going to do?

00:15:17.000 I know.

00:15:18.000 He just makes a new one.

00:15:19.000 Zoop, zoop, zoop.

00:15:20.000 Paints it up, signs a name on the back.

00:15:22.000 Here you go, buddy.

00:15:23.000 Still wet.

00:15:25.000 So this is not uncommon in fine arts.

00:15:27.000 And I think it's wrong.

00:15:29.000 That's not your painting.

00:15:30.000 That's a reproduction.

00:15:30.000 By the way, I do this all the time.

00:15:33.000 I'll take a picture I like, find a high-res, and send it to China.

00:15:36.000 I've done it a dozen times.

00:15:38.000 In fact, Mark Epstein, when we had that show and he had George Washington with Make America Great Again hat on, that's what he did.

00:15:45.000 He just did it in Photoshop and sent it to China.

00:15:47.000 Why spend money on photorealism if you're not an art dealer?

00:15:51.000 So it's a scam I do all the time, but it's a scam Kehende Wiley is a legend for.

00:15:57.000 But anyway, go back to that HuffPost article.

00:15:59.000 You can see the difference.

00:16:00.000 So that's 2011.

00:16:02.000 Keep going down.

00:16:03.000 Okay, can you zoom in on that one?

00:16:06.000 That one is, what do we got here?

00:16:08.000 2008.

00:16:09.000 Look at that.

00:16:09.000 Now, I'm not gay, but that is breathtaking.

00:16:14.000 Go back.

00:16:14.000 Look at that.

00:16:15.000 Whatever Chinese slave in Beijing did that deserves the Nobel Peace Prize in painting black guys. 1.00

00:16:23.000 That is really, really good.

00:16:25.000 Now keep going down.

00:16:26.000 There we go.

00:16:27.000 Now, this is Kehende Wiley not outsourcing his paintings and doing them himself.

00:16:34.000 Zoom in on that.

00:16:35.000 Can you go closer?

00:16:37.000 It's a very good painting.

00:16:39.000 It doesn't take your breath away.

00:16:41.000 Like the black guy in it is pretty good. 0.98

00:16:44.000 Kind of weird eyes.

00:16:45.000 The horse is beautiful.

00:16:47.000 The muscle tone, I mean, the guy's been classically trained.

00:16:50.000 His mom's black, normal black.

00:16:52.000 His dad's the African black.

00:16:54.000 But he went to Russia for a little while.

00:16:58.000 He was taught professionally in San Francisco.

00:17:00.000 So he has, I would say, B plus, way above average photorealist skills, but not what we see in his real paintings.

00:17:08.000 Keep going down.

00:17:12.000 Yeah, that is the Chinese.

00:17:14.000 That is stunning.

00:17:16.000 That's not Kendee Wiley.

00:17:18.000 And I guarantee you, he stole that background from some classical print in the museum.

00:17:22.000 And no one minds.

00:17:23.000 This is the bigotry of low expectations.

00:17:25.000 He outsources all this work, and we all go, I don't care.

00:17:28.000 He's gay and black and seems African-y. 0.99

00:17:32.000 I love him.

00:17:33.000 He's my favorite.

00:17:35.000 I think he is the most well-paid artist of his generation.

00:17:39.000 I'm not going to say of all time.

00:17:41.000 Maybe Damian Hearst is, but this guy is making millions upon millions upon millions.

00:17:48.000 Okay, keep going down.

00:17:49.000 There's a...

00:17:54.000 I shouldn't say mediocre.

00:17:56.000 Just very talented days, but not breathtaking.

00:17:58.000 Oh, maybe that is Chinese, 2010.

00:18:01.000 I think it's around 2008 he started cheating.

00:18:03.000 Keep going down.

00:18:05.000 Keep going down.

00:18:06.000 It's the last one.

00:18:08.000 No, no, no, no.

00:18:11.000 Yeah, there it is.

00:18:13.000 So 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.

00:18:25.000 But go back on the picture there.

00:18:26.000 Zoom in on that.

00:18:27.000 So Kendee Wiley's contention seems to be blacks are an integral part of our classical European heritage.

00:18:37.000 And 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. 0.99

00:18:47.000 So you're talking about eugenics, basically, and how blacks deserve to be in the foreground. 1.00

00:18:53.000 We deserve Hamilton.

00:18:54.000 We deserve that magic city and Black Panther. 0.99

00:18:57.000 But you're using all these other races, culture, and heritage to make it so.

00:19:01.000 So aren't you sort of proving the opposite?

00:19:04.000 This is, again, the bigotry of low expectations.

00:19:08.000 I don't like it.

00:19:11.000 So yeah, I'll just end before we talk to Joe Biggs.

00:19:14.000 I'll just end with what I think.

00:19:16.000 Oh, wait, I forgot the whole sperm thing, dude.

00:19:19.000 What am I talking about?

00:19:20.000 All right, before we end this, before we get to Joe Biggs, I just want to reiterate, do you have the presidential portraits?

00:19:26.000 Pam Geller put it out.

00:19:27.000 Dinesh D'Souza put it out.

00:19:29.000 If 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.

00:19:38.000 But Pamela Geller put them together with the past five.

00:19:42.000 And 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.

00:19:57.000 I collect presidential plates, and they all look pretty similar.

00:19:59.000 I 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.

00:20:06.000 Not Barack.

00:20:07.000 Look how different that looks with the others.

00:20:11.000 Okay.

00:20:13.000 There 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.

00:20:29.000 Now, that vein, and he does have veins there, that vein, they're saying, looks like a sperm.

00:20:37.000 Now, some of the 4chan guys are cheating and over-enhancing it, and I can tell it's not the original painting.

00:20:44.000 They actually screwed up and they made Barry's hair look kind of spiky.

00:20:48.000 He looks like Fred Armison after putting gel in his hair.

00:20:52.000 And that, they've exaggerated the sperm.

00:20:55.000 But for the record, it isn't the craziest thing in the world to say that there's sperm there.

00:21:04.000 Kenday Wiley does put sperm in paintings.

00:21:08.000 A lot of his paintings will have very visible sperm on them.

00:21:12.000 I don't mean literal ejaculate.

00:21:15.000 Sorry to be so disgusting.

00:21:16.000 But do you have pictures of that, Dave?

00:21:18.000 He will put in little wiggly sperms. 0.99

00:21:20.000 And 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.

00:21:30.000 He goes, I got to put something on this.

00:21:32.000 Now, 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.

00:21:42.000 David Cho's portraits will have his own face covered with a pink line.

00:21:46.000 But I think he just goes, I don't.

00:21:49.000 Let me just add some white sperms. 1.00

00:21:51.000 It'll show male fertility. 0.98

00:21:53.000 Here he is.

00:21:54.000 This sperm detail is Napoleon leading the army over the Alps. 0.70

00:21:59.000 That was one we showed earlier that just has like a two-pack looking thug portrayed as Napoleon.

00:22:06.000 But in the details, you look, and he has drawn sperm there.

00:22:09.000 In fact, he has another one I think is just before this, and it's called sperm painting, where it's just a close-up of a bunch of sperms. 0.87

00:22:20.000 So sperms are, I would say, fairly common in Cahende Wiley's portraits.

00:22:29.000 The sperm on Obama's head is conceivable, though exaggerated.

00:22:36.000 And artists, presidential portraits have had little messages here.

00:22:41.000 Like, do you have that Bill Clinton one?

00:22:45.000 Dave?

00:22:46.000 So this is a portrait of Bill Clinton where the artist concedes, yeah, I drew a blue dress there.

00:22:52.000 He said, it was very hard for me to paint Bill Clinton because his lies are such a prominent part of who he is.

00:22:59.000 This is liberals, by the way.

00:23:00.000 You know the painters are liberal.

00:23:02.000 The 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.

00:23:11.000 And I still think he was the best person ever.

00:23:13.000 Actually, that's kind of how I feel, to be totally honest.

00:23:15.000 I appreciate Bill Clinton quite a bit.

00:23:17.000 I appreciate that he was small government.

00:23:19.000 I think he was, in many ways, more conservative than George W. Bush.

00:23:24.000 All I care about at the end of the day is spending and government overreach and open borders.

00:23:28.000 That was way more GW than Clinton. 0.96

00:23:31.000 So if I had to choose between GW and Clinton, I would way rather have Bill Clinton be president again.

00:23:39.000 Maybe not now that they're all dying of old age, but he was much better for the deficit than GW was.

00:23:44.000 But he did have sex with an intern, and we did discover this because of sperm on our dress.

00:23:50.000 And the artist who painted this has conceded that that shadow going down from those bushes is a dress.

00:23:59.000 So I bring that up to say that the concept of adding something sexual and even spermy is not foreign.

00:24:05.000 And Cahende Wiley is not foreign to putting sperm on his dress.

00:24:09.000 So this theory that Barack Obama has sperm on his head, isn't that crazy?

00:24:16.000 But that's not what I'm hanging this episode on.

00:24:18.000 I am hanging this episode on the reality that this painting symbolizes so much that is wrong with America.

00:24:27.000 Affirmative action, the bigotry of low expectations, a lack of reverence to American history, Barack Obama's megalomania, and the white fetishization of educated blacks.

00:24:43.000 All of it just smells of a lack of egalitarianism in this country.

00:24:49.000 And as an egalitarian, I don't like that.

00:24:52.000 But let's have more of a laugh at Joe Biggs with this bizarre painting.

00:25:00.000 Joe, are you there?

00:25:01.000 Roger that.

00:25:02.000 Joe Biggs here.

00:25:03.000 Hi, Joe Biggs of Rogue Right.

00:25:06.000 What do you think of that portrait?

00:25:09.000 Which one?

00:25:11.000 You got some lady from Baltimore who does social justice warrior paintings. 1.00

00:25:16.000 Like, what does that even mean?

00:25:17.000 I didn't even know that was like a painting style.

00:25:20.000 Yeah.

00:25:20.000 It's called social justice.

00:25:22.000 Like, what is that?

00:25:23.000 It's like medieval, I don't know, medieval feminist knitting or some shit. 1.00

00:25:29.000 Like, do they paint stuff like that?

00:25:30.000 I don't get it.

00:25:31.000 Well, yeah, that's the problem.

00:25:32.000 Do you have to put a woman's symbol in it? 1.00

00:25:34.000 How is it social?

00:25:35.000 And 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. 0.88

00:25:43.000 I want a black person, but not too thuggish, but not too square. 0.99

00:25:48.000 So get me something quirky, like kooky frames and like one red pant leg.

00:25:54.000 Yeah, it looked like Michael Jackson about, you know, a few years into the bleaching process.

00:25:59.000 Yeah, That's the right idea.

00:26:00.000 Listen to NPR and also Wu-Tang.

00:26:03.000 That's what I want for my pet black.

00:26:06.000 But 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. 0.55

00:26:27.000 Oh, you must be looking at those chanboards or whatever.

00:26:30.000 Yeah, I don't have solid evidence.

00:26:32.000 He 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.

00:26:42.000 Well, 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.

00:26:51.000 And 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.

00:27:02.000 He became part of the picture.

00:27:04.000 It started to grow into him.

00:27:06.000 And 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.

00:27:14.000 And eventually, I like the memes eventually just like he's gone.

00:27:17.000 Like you just see the vines start going around him and he just disappeared.

00:27:21.000 He's like, well, he's gone.

00:27:23.000 Basically, Trump was the vines, and he just erased my legacy.

00:27:28.000 Yeah, 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.

00:27:38.000 Like, you could have got some old black guy who does beautiful stuff.

00:27:42.000 He could have been gay.

00:27:43.000 I'm sure there's plenty of talented black gay dudes who do photorealism.

00:27:48.000 But no, you had to get this gay rebel from New York who was going to make it look totally unlike all the other portraits. 0.83

00:27:58.000 And you know, the next portrait, Trump's portrait, despite what Kimmel says, is going to be normal.

00:28:02.000 And the next, whatever, 20 will be normal.

00:28:04.000 So he'll always stick out there as me, me, me, me, me.

00:28:08.000 And 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.

00:28:14.000 Well, 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.

00:28:23.000 You 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.

00:28:29.000 He was so self-absorbed.

00:28:30.000 But let's talk, you know, let's talk about the real thing, the double standard.

00:28:33.000 You know, if you look at this guy who painted this picture, Kehinde Wiley, I don't even know how you say that name.

00:28:39.000 Kahinde.

00:28:40.000 Kehinde? 0.98

00:28:42.000 Yeah.

00:28:42.000 That's probably way better than mine, but I'm not sure.

00:28:43.000 Sorry 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. 0.99

00:28:57.000 And then the kid becomes all about, I am from Africa.

00:29:00.000 I am an African man.

00:29:02.000 Neither of them met their dad.

00:29:03.000 Well, Obama met him a couple times as a young man, but they didn't get to see their dad as an adult until they were in their 20s.

00:29:09.000 And they just become obsessed with the black African side, even though it was the American who raised you, you fucking ingrate.

00:29:16.000 Yeah, he's like, yeah, I discovered myself.

00:29:20.000 I decided to paint black men wearing fooboo shirts, decapitating white bitches. 1.00

00:29:27.000 And see, the funny thing is, this is the double standard.

00:29:29.000 It's like, you know, we go back and we look and we find this guy's previous history that he paints these pictures.

00:29:35.000 And you go, my God, you know, that's kind of weird.

00:29:37.000 You know, am I offended by that?

00:29:39.000 No, I could really give a shit less what you paint.

00:29:42.000 I don't care.

00:29:43.000 What 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.

00:29:52.000 And the left is going to dissect that person.

00:29:55.000 And 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.

00:30:07.000 And that'll be the headlines on CNN for weeks.

00:30:10.000 You 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.

00:30:19.000 And he also painted a Civil War picture one time that depicted a slavery walking shackled in chains.

00:30:26.000 Right.

00:30:26.000 Well, remember Mitt Romney?

00:30:27.000 What did he call someone like a macaw or something?

00:30:30.000 Like a blackbird, and that was a big deal.

00:30:32.000 Or he had that disfigured kid who was bullied and they found a Facebook post of a Confederate flag that his mom did three years ago.

00:30:41.000 Can you conceive of Donald Trump hiring a guy who had a white woman with decapitated black heads just holding them? 0.72

00:30:52.000 It's unfathomable.

00:30:54.000 There'd be riots in the streets.

00:30:56.000 Yes, there would.

00:30:58.000 Literally.

00:30:58.000 But we have this bigotry of low expectations where they go, oh, the Negroes, we don't hold them to the same accountability.

00:31:05.000 We're the egalitarians.

00:31:06.000 We're the ones that see everyone as equal, and we hold them by the same standards.

00:31:10.000 The left doesn't do that.

00:31:11.000 The left goes, oh, cute little black person. 0.77

00:31:14.000 We're going to give you special treatment.

00:31:16.000 Yeah, you can paint me with vines growing all over me and make it look like any other presidential portrait ever.

00:31:25.000 Trump'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. 0.89

00:31:40.000 Well, I would find that equally offensive.

00:31:42.000 You know why?

00:31:43.000 Why?

00:31:43.000 Because it should be a bud, the king of beers.

00:31:46.000 Well, I was just saying PBR because it's kind of corny and you always see like chugging VPR dudes.

00:31:54.000 Don't even joke about that, Biggs.

00:31:56.000 We're talking about the king of beers, our leader, our great monarch in the castle of Beardom.

00:32:02.000 I'm a Miller Light kind of guy.

00:32:04.000 Yeah, well, Miller Light is surpassed, but it's the most popular beer.

00:32:06.000 Anyway, we're getting off track here.

00:32:08.000 Well, but look at this, though.

00:32:08.000 But here, I want to talk about this one thing.

00:32:10.000 So everybody yesterday was saying about the paintings or whatever.

00:32:13.000 Oh, it's not race.

00:32:14.000 This is a cultural thing.

00:32:16.000 This is depicting this and that.

00:32:17.000 It has nothing to do with racism.

00:32:19.000 So I found an article.

00:32:21.000 A guy named Christopher Beam went to this dude, Kahindi Wheelie, to his art gallery and talked to him.

00:32:27.000 And it says, this is a quote from the article.

00:32:30.000 It says, but one already stands out, a tall, elegant black woman in a long blue dress. 0.99

00:32:33.000 The canvas is enormous, eight feet by 10 feet, calmly staring down the viewer.

00:32:38.000 In one hand, she holds a knife.

00:32:40.000 In another hand, a cleanly severed brunette female head. 1.00

00:32:44.000 And his exact words say, it's sort of a plain on kill whitey thing. 0.93

00:32:48.000 Yeah, you can't really get past it.

00:32:51.000 I mean, could you imagine if I painted the picture of a white person holding a black severed head? 0.90

00:32:56.000 It's like, well, it's kind of a, you know, I don't like black people. 1.00

00:33:00.000 It's kind of a play on.

00:33:01.000 I hope you guys like Trump's presidential portrait.

00:33:03.000 We'll see you guys later.

00:33:06.000 There wouldn't be a round of applause or anything.

00:33:07.000 And like, you know, they'd fade to black or whatever.

00:33:10.000 And we go on and talk about the squirrel that knows how to surf.

00:33:12.000 No, it would be talked about forever.

00:33:14.000 Well, the other weird thing, that's a New York Mag article.

00:33:16.000 And the other weird thing is they're in his Chinese sweatshop. 0.96

00:33:19.000 And they have all these Chinese people, God knows what they're making, $100 for painting. 1.00

00:33:24.000 He might be the wealthiest painter of his generation.

00:33:27.000 This guy is phenomenally successful.

00:33:29.000 Here in Brooklyn, he's a god here in New York, I should say.

00:33:31.000 Brooklyn Museum of Art has his portraits all over the place when you walk in.

00:33:36.000 He's royalty here.

00:33:37.000 And all his paintings, you can see them in early 2005.

00:33:40.000 They look like crap.

00:33:41.000 Not crap.

00:33:42.000 Sorry, they're very good.

00:33:43.000 But then as soon as he goes to China around 2010, all of a sudden they're breathtaking.

00:33:48.000 Like they're just incredible.

00:33:49.000 And that's because some poor Chinaman is sitting there with a micro brush getting each molecule perfect for $100. 1.00

00:33:56.000 Well, he sells it for, I don't even know how much, hundreds of thousands of dollars.

00:34:01.000 It was some guy with a musket pointing it at his head.

00:34:04.000 Beat it, beat it, now.

00:34:07.000 Well, 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.

00:34:23.000 Like, they don't do any background.

00:34:24.000 They just go black, gay, talented, boom, he's in.

00:34:27.000 But they make his portraits in China.

00:34:28.000 Don't care.

00:34:29.000 But he has kill whitey things. 0.99

00:34:31.000 He draws sperms on paintings.

00:34:32.000 Don't care.

00:34:32.000 Let's move it through.

00:34:33.000 Move it through.

00:34:34.000 You 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.

00:34:43.000 And he always wins.

00:34:45.000 Because when you put diversity first, you're putting meritocracy second.

00:34:48.000 So it's like saying, from now on, we're only hiring moms.

00:34:51.000 Well, I know that company's not going to be doing as well.

00:34:55.000 You know?

00:34:56.000 Yeah.

00:34:57.000 You know, I'm curious, do the presidents and the first lady or whatever, do they pick the people who do the portraits?

00:35:04.000 Or is it just like a hat where there's just like names in it?

00:35:06.000 And they go, well, you're getting Amy Sherrold and you're getting the guy who was sperm on paintings and beheadings.

00:35:12.000 Well, clearly.

00:35:13.000 How does that happen?

00:35:14.000 They pick.

00:35:15.000 At the very least, they had three or four options and they went, I want to go with a guy with the African sounding name.

00:35:21.000 And they put Merit second and they got Merit last.

00:35:25.000 And then they got Amy Sherrold, who does social justice pictures, who makes Michelle Obama not even look like anything. 0.92

00:35:32.000 I mean, this is the funniest thing in the world.

00:35:34.000 It's like we've got all these talented painters.

00:35:36.000 Like they're looking at resumes and they've painted this and this chapel and this is beautiful.

00:35:43.000 And then there's one that goes nothing.

00:35:45.000 It's just like this blank piece of paper.

00:35:47.000 It says social justice portraits.

00:35:49.000 And Michelle's like, yeah, I'll take that one.

00:35:52.000 And you could tell she was disgusted too when they unveil it.

00:35:54.000 She's like, this is a crowded room, like hundreds of people in there.

00:35:59.000 And this is the left's, you know, love child.

00:36:02.000 They love the Obamas.

00:36:03.000 You know, the Obamas could take a dump in public and start going on a mass murder spree. 0.66

00:36:07.000 And they'd be like, and they'd start going crazy.

00:36:10.000 But here it is.

00:36:11.000 This painting gets unveiled.

00:36:13.000 And it's just like, yeah, they didn't look that thrilled.

00:36:17.000 Michelle sort of looked at hers and went, oh, she looks like a bitch. 1.00

00:36:29.000 Well, I think at the very least, both Barack and Michelle showed America that they are way more radical than we thought they were.

00:36:37.000 There's been some arguments back and forth about how left-wing they are.

00:36:40.000 No, these guys are like college, purple-haired, screaming, hysterical, Antifa radicals.

00:36:49.000 I've had so much fun making memes off of it, man.

00:36:51.000 I've done so many different ones, and I've enjoyed watching all the ones that people are doing.

00:36:56.000 I even cut out little Waldo figures and sort of hiding them in the bushes and then passing them off to my friends to try to find them.

00:37:02.000 There's so much fun stuff you can do with it right now.

00:37:04.000 I mean, it's memes for today.

00:37:05.000 It's a good way to deal with this.

00:37:06.000 Well, send us some of those.

00:37:07.000 Let's put them in post.

00:37:09.000 Yeah, some of them probably aren't too...

00:37:16.000 Oh, yeah, you depicted a phallus.

00:37:18.000 Yeah, we can't show that one.

00:37:20.000 That one's by far the favorite one.

00:37:22.000 Or there's one where he's like hiding in the bushes.

00:37:24.000 He's got binoculars and it's like I spy.

00:37:26.000 Right, right.

00:37:27.000 Well, that is the subtext I think they did accidentally.

00:37:30.000 Joe, thank you very much for coming on the show.

00:37:32.000 I 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.

00:37:40.000 That's a good thing.

00:37:42.000 I commend you in these.

00:37:43.000 I like you a lot.

00:37:45.000 I'm asking Joe Biggs to send us memes, but they're all over his Twitter feed.

00:37:49.000 Here we got Barry Met Kimmy.

00:37:50.000 That one I would give a six.

00:37:54.000 This is Barry on the Toilet.

00:37:56.000 That gets an eight because it includes, where's Waldo?

00:37:59.000 I see Waldo by the flusher there.

00:38:01.000 That's where your eye goes.

00:38:04.000 And then Barry in the bushes with his binoculars.

00:38:10.000 That's brilliant because we're now catching Barack Obama spying on people.

00:38:15.000 Let's go see some more of these memes.

00:38:16.000 What do you got?

00:38:19.000 Chris Christie.

00:38:20.000 That's a nine.

00:38:21.000 Keep going.

00:38:23.000 That's pretty good.

00:38:24.000 What do we give that?

00:38:25.000 6.2?

00:38:26.000 Pretty good.

00:38:27.000 Not laughing.

00:38:28.000 What's that one now?

00:38:29.000 Pepe Frogs?

00:38:30.000 Always good.

00:38:31.000 6.8.

00:38:33.000 What's this?

00:38:34.000 Sean Spicer?

00:38:35.000 Whatever.

00:38:36.000 That looks like a liberal one, actually.

00:38:38.000 I'm going to give that a 5.

00:38:40.000 The left can't mean, can they?

00:38:42.000 What's this one here?

00:38:43.000 Oh, I like that one.

00:38:44.000 That's Wrigley Field.

00:38:48.000 We should do that.

00:38:49.000 Sabo should do that.

00:38:50.000 Hey, Sabo, if you're watching, cut out Barack in the chair and start sticking him in bushes.

00:38:56.000 Although the left will probably think that's cool.

00:38:59.000 The Homer one, fantastic.

00:39:01.000 Open the show with that.

00:39:02.000 Beautiful.

00:39:03.000 That's an 8.8.

00:39:05.000 I'm a master at 1 to 10s, by the way.

00:39:07.000 And if you think I rate too high or too low, you're bad at it.

00:39:10.000 I'm actually a good gauge on how good you are at one to tens.

00:39:13.000 Is that it?

00:39:14.000 Yep.

00:39:15.000 Have you noticed there's a common thread with all these memes?

00:39:18.000 Barry looks like he's on my lawn.
