00:00:10.000Young L. Got my vans on, but they look like snakers.
00:00:14.000Got my vans on, but they look like snakers.
00:00:16.000Got my vans on, but they look like steakers.
00:02:46.000I get a lot out of holidays, by the way, because I'm always at work and I talked, I was at Atlantis, which is a resort in the Bahamas on a little island called Paradise Island, just touching Nassau.
00:04:50.000When you see young people clamoring for Gucci, it's depressing and it looks weird.
00:04:55.000And I love that the millennials, the hipsters, the early young people, early young people, the young people of say 15 years ago, you couldn't rip them off.
00:05:09.000Like they had vans, they had chucks, they had one-track bikes you couldn't steal.
00:05:58.000When you grow up with a single mom, you grow up with female values, and celebrities are big to you, and clothes and brands are big to you.
00:06:07.000That's why you see in Puerto Rican neighborhoods these young men getting pedicures and manicures, manicures, because they want to look lovely.
00:06:13.000And there's not a dad slapping them upside the head going, what the hell are you doing?
00:06:18.000That's also, by the way, I think the impetus for graffiti.
00:06:21.000Graffiti is started, well, it started with Greeks in New York and stuff and other immigrants, but it's a Puerto Rican Hispanic thing and a Black thing, and it's whites trying to rip that off.
00:06:33.000And that's about fame, getting your name up.
00:06:36.000Fame, because they see their moms and their sisters with these celebrity magazines, and they think fame is a big deal.
00:06:41.000So, single motherhood, which I'm going to talk about later with the shooting too, as a potential reason for the shooting, single motherhood is a plague.
00:06:57.000And this stuff has lost us the whole, I got my vans on, and we're back to the crap of Gucci and big brands and being a woman, basically.
00:07:08.000And that's what I saw on my vacation in Atlantis.
00:07:11.000It was fascinating looking at bathing suits and the way these millennials and even grown men dress.
00:07:19.000And it tells us a lot about our society.
00:07:22.000So typical outfit for a woman, especially a non-white woman, like slightly Hispanic, but typical outfit for a woman there, young lady too, is basically nothing.
00:07:32.000Show me that Sports Illustrated plus size clip, Dave.
00:09:48.000It's sort of like when I was young, the Wu-Tang clan were big and they would wear Helly Hansen and all this super white clothing, like fisherman stuff.
00:09:56.000And that was the origin of the Timberland fad, was trying to be white.
00:10:01.000But then rich white guys would wear it.
00:10:03.000So rich white guys are wearing sailing gear and like rubber boots from LL Bean and stuff.
00:10:08.000And you go, yeah, you've just come full circle.
00:13:13.000And yes, he did kill plenty of Aztecs.
00:13:16.000I'm going to do a whole separate segment on this because I've been reading a lot about first contact when untouched tribes meet white people.
00:13:23.000There's a lot of slaughter that goes on on both sides.
00:13:27.000Like a mass grave was recently discovered where Aztecs had eaten 500 Spaniards and impaled their skulls with spikes to show as trophies.
00:13:38.000So when you're colonizing, you got to get with the local vocabulary.
00:13:42.000And the local vocabulary is usually mass murder.
00:13:44.000I think half the time you have to blow these Indians' heads off to show that you mean business because they'll just stab and eat you.
00:13:51.000And I'll provide evidence of this when I do this segment on.
00:14:43.000If my kid, not my five-year-old, but my other two, my nine-year-old and my 11-year-old, brought this home from school, I'd be deeply embarrassed to them.
00:14:51.000The last thing I would want to do would be display it at the airport.
00:15:16.000They're total ethno-nationalists, total nationalists, I should say, not necessarily ethno, although it's redundant down there because everyone's black.
00:15:23.000And they are sick of illegal immigrants.
00:15:28.000They have had enough of these goddamn Haitians.
00:15:32.000Haiti's a sh ⁇ , according to Bahameans.
00:15:35.000And what these Haitians do is they come down there, they get their fake papers in Bahamas, because it's still Caribbean, it's still kind of a shithole.
00:15:42.000And then they go to the States, they get arrested, they get deported back to Haiti, where they're considered citizens.
00:15:48.000And the Bahameyans hate the Haitians, they hate the Jamaicans, they hate the whole Caribbean.
00:15:53.000And they hate them so much that they put on an American accent.
00:15:58.000They don't want to, they never, they don't have patois.
00:19:51.000It's so refreshing to be able to see people talk frankly about immigration in an environment where they clearly don't have to worry about racism.
00:19:59.000This is how we would all talk if we could all just relax.
00:20:13.000I got to tell you, though, my two favorite parts of the trip, well, the two things that became the most inside jokey with me and my wife were, one, had nothing to do with the trip.
00:20:23.000I got a tweet, I think, maybe it was a text, of some dad who he goes, I'm on the patio at this restaurant.
00:20:30.000I can hear some dad having like a serious lecture with his family.
00:20:35.000He's giving them a talking to because they hurt his feelings.
00:20:41.000And the quote that was overheard was, you're making me feel insignificant.
00:20:47.000So I couldn't stop joking about that the whole trip.
00:20:49.000Every time my kids were mean or something or didn't listen to me, I was like, you're making me feel insignificant.
00:22:27.000You ride the dolphins, jet ski, whatever, but you can also feed the stingrays and the turtles for free at certain times.
00:22:32.000And being a cheap ass, I always would make the whole family walk the extra 20 minutes to the far under the resort where we could feed the turtles the stingrays for free, as opposed to pay 10 bucks for it right here.
00:22:43.000So we go there, we feed the turtles cabbage, whatever.
00:23:23.000So aggressive female stingrays in there and you hold a little fish with a decapitated fish like an ice cream cone and you put your arm down and you feed it.
00:23:32.000So I have my daughter down there doing it.
00:24:51.000Guys, if you're at the point where you have tits that look pretty good, like that Indian dude who said, yo, Tommy Robinson, I challenge you to a stabbing contest.
00:25:02.000If your tits are that big, stop having those.
00:25:09.000So again, young men, embarrassed with their body, especially their penises.
00:25:13.000You know, if you notice these young men, they always pee in stalls in the bathroom, wearing Gucci and Yves Saint-Laurent and Louis Vuitton.
00:25:22.000And then the grown men, similar as shame, but directed in a different direction.
00:25:27.000It's all about my body hiding my boobies, hiding from the sun, sun hat, like some geriatric worried about skin cancer.
00:25:34.000So to get back to the stingrays, my daughter's in there feeding them.
00:25:38.000This woman, this c ⁇ ty baby boomer, comes up and she says to the guy feeding, that's handling the feeding and handing out the fish to the kids, she goes, is there a vegetarian option?
00:25:56.000Is there a vegetarian option For feeding the stingrays, we are at a resort that orders in from Nova Scotia 30,000 pounds of fish a month.
00:26:12.000A thousand pounds of fish is fed to the stingrays, the turtles, the sawfish, sharks galore, nurse sharks, everything but a man-eating shark is there.
00:26:24.000There's fish, it's like a giant, it literally is a giant aquarium.
00:26:27.000You walk to the restaurant and fish are swimming by.
00:26:29.000You're eating, there's fish going there, there's some scuba diver guy in there scrubbing the walls.
00:26:40.000She is angry, angry that there's no vegetarian option because she's clearly a vegetarian and doesn't want to hold a dead fish and feed it to...
00:27:39.000I would say what I just said to you, to her.
00:27:41.000But so eventually he just goes, happy wife, happy life.
00:27:45.000And he wanders off and follows her away from the stingray feeding because she's mad that there's no, can you, this is one of those things too, where it's going to creep up on you because you're going to go, wait a minute, what's your option?
00:28:13.000Like, when you're an idealist, like say you're a communist, you want, you imagine a world where everyone's working in the fields and no one makes more than $1,000 a year or whatever.
00:28:26.000I hate communists, but at least there's a plan in place where you have this Billy Bragg, Great Leap Forward, Maoist fantasy about the working people getting together and no one being smart enough to cure cancer, by the way.
00:28:39.000But with her utopia, how does it work?
00:30:12.000Turns out your deputies, four of them waited, what, half an hour outside before they go in.
00:30:19.000And then we find out the school superintendent, Michelle Malkin, just did a great thing on this, also on CRTV, where she discovered that he makes something like $330,000 base salary.
00:30:28.000And then when you add all the perks, you're getting closer to $500,000.
00:30:31.000And all this superintendent talks about is how they need more money.
00:30:35.000America spends more money per student than any country in the world.
00:30:51.000And I see this, by the way, with my daughter's homework often.
00:30:53.000She got this assignment recently that talked about this farmer abusing the cows and getting too much milk.
00:31:00.000And they were exhausted, so they went on strike.
00:31:02.000And then they worked out a compromise and strike, strike.
00:31:06.000I've noticed these Marxists use cows a lot in their analogy.
00:31:10.000Maybe they see the proletariat as a stupid, useless, defunct animal that would be extinct without their help, a cow.
00:31:19.000But I thought that was an interesting theory, by the way, not to go off at a total tangent, but someone, some random dude on Facebook was saying, you know, when we said they were going postal, and one of the biggest shootings was a guy who shut up his post office, and it was the origin of the term.
00:31:32.000They didn't go, we have too many guns.
00:31:34.000They said, there's something wrong with the post office.
00:31:46.000These schools have these incompetent Marxist teachers, these women, telling these boys that they have to be punished if they're rambunctious.
00:31:54.000They send them home if they bite a Pop-Tart in the shape of a gun.
00:32:05.000You eventually get the Sarnev brothers.
00:32:07.000You get these young men that get radicalized in the West.
00:32:12.000Now, I'm not saying that teachers are directly responsible for the killing, but let's spread around the culpability a little bit and analyze some of the other things.
00:32:23.000Let's look at the other things, as the left keeps telling us to do, from the Broward County Sheriff Lamborghini.
00:32:31.000But also, by the way, speaking of women and culpability here, how about single moms?
00:34:17.000By the way, this is likely liberal media trying to edit it and make them look good, and they still end up with that.
00:34:23.000But I've noticed, by the way, this idea of having concealed carry among teachers and having volunteer parents walk up and down the hallways ready to take down a shooter.
00:34:32.000I've noticed liberals are treating that like a hypothetical, saying, Sean King, by the way, was saying, we can't do that.
00:34:40.000If one of the teachers is black, then when the cups show up, he'll get shot.
00:34:43.000Or a mad white teacher will shoot a black kid.
00:34:46.000Some guy was saying, I'm going to take my black student out of school if you do this.
00:39:30.000Detectives launched an investigation on February 20th at Oberlin High School after students expressed concern during a mass session that the standard symbol, which refers to a number multiplied by itself, blah, blah, blah, looks like a gun.
00:39:44.000And I guess the variable X there is a dead body.
00:39:48.000This says a lot, by the way, about our level of education.
00:39:51.000Oh, look at that funny thing trending in U.S. I forgot to mention that.
00:39:54.000We got a dreamer there who dreams about shooting up a school.
00:40:11.000Anyway, the square root sign looks like a gun, right?
00:40:15.000That just shows how bad education is right now, by the way.
00:40:18.000You're supposed to do square roots in fifth grade.
00:40:21.000But it reminded me of, remember when Sarah Silverman saw those marks on the road that construction guys do to say like, the water main is here.
00:40:30.000And if you're digging, don't go over here because there's a major electrical cable.
00:40:34.000She sees those and goes, the best part is she sees them and goes, don't these dumb Nazis even know what a swastika looks like?
00:40:54.000And finally, on this same subject, sort of, there was a woman, best-selling author, New York Times.
00:40:59.000She writes like true crime fiction, whatever.
00:41:04.000She sees a Norwegian flag flying in Seattle, and she says to the cops, hi, suddenly there's a Confederate flag flying in front of a house in my Greenwood neighborhood.
00:41:13.000It is at the northeast corner of 92nd and Palatine, just a block west of 92nd, blah, blah, blah.
00:41:19.000I would love to know what this quote unquote means, but of course, don't want to knock on their door.
00:43:02.000No, he screws that up by acting like a complete boob and playing Mr. Dress Up, as, by the way, is the new theme for this show, and dancing on.
00:44:08.000I don't know if you've noticed, but it seems like as Donald Trump becomes more and more unwoke, Justin Trudeau is compensating in the other direction.
00:44:19.000The only issue is the Canadian Prime Minister keeps going too far.
00:44:24.000Canada's Prime Minister is under fire over his outfits on his week-long family trip to India.
00:44:30.000Trudeau got called out today by one of India's most popular politicians.
00:44:35.000Omar Abdullah tweeted, is it just me or is this choreographed cuteness all just a bit much now?
00:44:42.000Also, FYI, we Indians don't dress like this every day, sir.
00:44:53.000Yeah, they dress like that at a wedding and stuff.
00:44:56.000Normally, they just wear like a collarless shirt and white pants with sandals.
00:45:02.000And it gets worse than that, by the way.
00:45:04.000He's not just dressing like he's at a wedding or he's in a Bollywood movie, but he brought a Khalestani terrorist, Jaspal Atwal, who is known for years and years.
