00:00:21.000But it was more nuanced than that, and he was not jumped.
00:00:27.000He was dealt with in a normal, draconian manner.
00:00:35.000So I've had about five humdingers of stories this week.
00:00:39.000So unlike other podcasts where I focus on one thing, like Costa Rica or a trip to Italy,
00:00:47.000I'm just going to tell you about my week, and it's as exciting as any other story, because it's been a hell of a week, as I said.
00:00:54.000So I started this group called the Proud Boys.
00:00:57.000It's just a men's club like the Knights of Columbus or the Shriners or something.
00:01:01.000It's a place where men can get together in a chick-free zone.
00:01:04.000We tend to be all pro-Trump, but so are the Masons, so are the Knights of Columbus.
00:01:08.000It's just dudes and dads and cops and military guys, and we just drink Budweiser and sing.
00:01:15.000The song, Proud of Your Boy, from the musical Aladdin, as men are wont to do.
00:01:20.000And one of our guys is moving to Texas.
00:01:23.000He's actually our hunkiest member, so our average look, our median look is going down, unfortunately.
00:01:31.000Actually, no, he won't affect the median as much as he'll affect the average.
00:01:35.000That's one thing I did learn in high school.
00:01:37.000He's going to Texas and I said I said to him about I go I don't I mean I Envy you in that's in the sense of Texas Everyone has their head screwed on correctly and they love the Constitution and they love guns and they love America But I couldn't be in a microwave for six months of the year and he goes the heat you can deal with but look at this I see these about every mile and he showed me a picture of a
00:02:01.000An American flag on a gigantic pole in front of a building like a carpet store or something, and it was the size of a house.
00:02:09.000Texans have house-sized American flags everywhere.
00:02:12.000Here in New York, an American flag is seen as fascist.
00:02:17.000It's sort of like Paris or Sweden or London, where if you're patriotic, you are clearly a Nazi because you like the country that destroyed the Nazis.
00:02:57.000But when they come to our things, like a free speech rally, we pound them until we get arrested.
00:03:02.000And in New York that's fun because they're all rich kids.
00:03:06.000They're all academic sons of academics.
00:03:07.000It's not like Berkeley where they're homeless teens who were raped as children and were taken in by Yvette Flarka and will kill for the Queen, the Queen Bee, the giant larvae producing beast who sits in the basement of the home that Soros bought and hands them out smoothies.
00:03:46.000There's also feds that think we're a hate group and they join us.
00:03:49.000And there's even guys in our group I think are feds, but I'm sure they've discovered that we're cool guys.
00:03:55.000And so I think, I'm hanging out with a fed and I like cops, so welcome aboard.
00:03:59.000It must be the best gig if you're a spy and you infiltrate the Proud Boys because you're just drinking beer with a bunch of cool guys once a month.
00:04:07.000Anyway, so I'm always aware of that, and I'm aware that people want to kill me.
00:04:11.000And, uh, when I walk down the street, you know, I have eyes in the back of my head, and if someone's following me too close, I sort of move over to the right and make sure.
00:06:03.000In its purest form, with the glowing orb.
00:06:07.000The women I bitch about are the shit chests.
00:06:09.000It's the ones that have been polluted with feminism.
00:06:11.000They've had children taken away from them, so they end up just being busybodies and policing you and telling you that you have to go to the corner and telling you that you need to eat your vegetables.
00:06:35.000I do my spiel about how I want to get racists and anti-semites over on my side to attack the shit chests, because they're the real problem with society.
00:07:14.000And he's got like a sweater on that you would get from a Salvation Army.
00:07:19.000It's like a yellow ratty orange sweater with the Fred Perry coming out and it's going too low and you can see his t-shirt which looks weird.
00:07:27.000And then he has these diamond earrings which usually means I don't have a dad.
00:07:33.000And I'm wondering why this fatherless child, who's dressed like he's on Sesame Street, is coming to this going away party for someone he doesn't know.
00:07:45.000And then I find out later, I didn't know about this, our buddy Mike is talking to him and he goes, yeah, I'm gonna get my, the little kid goes, I'm gonna get my third degree when I'm in, in the clink, because I'm looking at three and a half years minimum on Wednesday.
00:08:27.000And then he goes up to another buddy of ours, Max, and he goes, by the way, that weird kid just pulled a knife on me and it wasn't in a jokey way.
00:08:58.000He actually, he works on the railroads.
00:09:01.000And apparently, down there, where they all make obscene amounts of money, by the way, these guys who work at Penn Station, you know, on the tracks, they're all blue-collar dudes, and in New York, that often means $180,000, $200,000 a year.
00:09:13.000Like, if you see the parking lots, it's all Mercedes-Benzes and BMWs.
00:09:23.000I asked him, what's a blue-collar drink these days?
00:09:26.000Because I've noticed in the suburbs where I live now, they do this weird thing where they'll have a martini, like a martini glass, with their own shaker by them.
00:09:34.000So they'll have, like, a tough guy who works in sanitation, just sitting down at the bar, watching the game, with an apple martini and his own shaker.
00:10:41.000This black guy was giving him all these stats about like men in prison and how racist America is and Max went home and researched and he came back the next day and goes, Marcus, you're wrong.
00:10:52.000This stat was off by about 300% and he broke down all the stuff that the guy had said the previous day.
00:15:31.000Because I'm sort of the founder of this group,
00:15:35.000When there's new kids, and they're young, like millennials, I think they get nervous, because it's like Ahmaud meeting Paul Weller, or a punk meeting Malcolm McLaren.
00:15:45.000So they overdo it with the vodka shots, and then they start getting erratic.
00:15:51.000And they do dumb things like pull knives on people as a joke.
00:16:28.000She also said that she was stalking him, that he was stalking her, and they discovered that she's insane, and now they're starting to realize he's just a weirdo with diamond earrings who bought a gun on the street, and he wasn't gonna kill anyone.
00:19:11.000Although we will have moved on for the conversation by the time you dig it up It'll be boring and pull us back just like it's doing right now.
00:19:17.000So forget it So I think it was snorting coke and heroin and Your nose is a very sensitive chap
00:19:26.000That membrane there, it's for detecting the slightest of smells.
00:19:32.000One of the reasons a cold is such a nightmare is because that one vital resource, the tympanic membrane.
00:19:38.000No, it's not tympanic, that's on a frog.
00:19:40.000Your mucous membrane, that slender, delicate membrane in your nose, is doing a lot of work.
00:19:47.000And when it's screwed up, your whole head is screwed up.
00:19:50.000So he was doing coke and heroin, and then he tweets out a picture of his face where his nose looks like a caricature of W.C.
00:20:35.000We go through the news and make fun of everyone.
00:20:38.000I'm gonna release a sizzle reel actually maybe today on my YouTube of some of the past Highlights of the past I think we're up to like episode 60 or something so He says I'm gonna show up.
00:20:50.000It's been 35 days I can't believe it's been 35 days since he tweeted that picture of his giant nose, but time flies so maybe it was So he shows up on the show which is weird It's sort of like you're on a first date with someone
00:21:51.000I have no interest in Artie Lang's job.
00:21:54.000I did a couple years ago, but I've since moved on to greener pastures.
00:21:59.000And I love, like, if you have a terrible thing to do, like the dishes or fixing up your workshop or cleaning up the garage, you put on the Artie and Anthony Show and it's just the time whips by and doing your job is fun.
00:22:13.000It's fun doing the dishes because it's almost like, you know, when you're having a long dinner and you're playing with the candle wax.
00:22:18.000During a conversation, it's sort of like that.
00:22:20.000You have something to do while you're listening to this.
00:22:22.000And, you know, when they talk about a picture, you can stop and look at it.
00:23:12.000He has a cigarette, not lit, in his hand, and he's dressed like a homeless man.
00:23:20.000So he comes careening in, and he sits down, and I want to show that I'm not threatening your job, so I sort of, I bow down to the alpha, and I move one chair over, and I don't say anything, and I let him talk.
00:23:33.000He's rambling on about Stuttering John, which is this comedian who was on the Whack Pack on Howard Stern.
00:23:39.000And Anthony and him both hate the guy, so it's a common ground they can always riff about.
00:23:44.000But for everyone else, they're like, yeah, I think I remember Stuttering John, especially millennials.
00:23:49.000They don't know who Stuttering John is, so it's a strange tangent to get on.
00:23:54.000And he says, I'm wearing these gloves because my hands are cracking because of the diabetes.
00:24:02.000Now that's true that you have terrible circulation, right?
00:24:05.000But if your hands are so dry they're cracking, you'd have maybe surgical gloves on and tons of cream or something.
00:24:42.000And they go, when a celebrity's in there, you're shitting your pants because you know every single molecule of his experience is going to be made public.
00:24:50.000And if you even have the slightest screw-up,
00:24:53.000If you stray from procedure one iota, you could lose your pension, lose your job.
00:24:59.000So you're walking on eggshells, and for that reason, they never put celebrities in GenPOP.
00:25:04.000They don't put anyone remotely weird in GenPOP.
00:25:06.000They don't put trannies in there, pedophiles.
00:25:09.000They probably wouldn't even put a punk in GenPOP.
00:25:11.000Like if he had particularly colorful hair, I bet they would put him in a private cell.
00:26:12.000I said to him, I go, what is this, Papillon?
00:26:15.000That might be an old reference for you, but it was an old Steve McQueen film, a true story about a guy who was in some ancient prison in the, whatever, early 1900s.
00:26:26.000First of all, there aren't lead pipes.
00:26:28.000Lead pipes are from the 50s before we knew that lead gives you brain damage.
00:28:31.000He, he, I think he was on methadone and coke.
00:28:33.000And then, and then the other theory that we're working on, and I'm sorry Artie if you're hearing this and it seems disrespectful, but just a theory.
00:28:39.000You were acting strange and people come up with weird theories after you're acting strange.
00:28:43.000He says he's facing jail time for possession.
00:28:46.000So one is going to start pontificating about the details that surround this.
00:28:52.000We think, our theory is, that his withdrawals for heroin were so bad in the clink, where he was not in gen pop, he was in his own cell, he was probably scratching his head.
00:29:03.000Scratching his head maniacally, the front of his head.
00:29:07.000And it was bleeding, and he had blood chunks and scabs in his hair, in the front of his hair.
00:29:13.000He also showed us his back, which looked really messed up, and he said that was from the lead pipe.
00:29:17.000I think he was scratching his lower back, too.
00:29:20.000You're constantly scratching when you're a junkie, especially when you're quitting.
00:29:24.000Your skin is on fire because the heroin's been taking care of all good feelings for many years.
00:29:31.000When you stop, your normal dopamine, your normal things, your normal endorphins, whatever you call them, they don't know how to release.
00:30:58.000But the advantage with Coke is you're a young man in New York City, you're out networking, you're out last night, you don't feel like going out, but some friends are in town and a client's in town, and you gotta party till 2.
00:31:06.000Coke says, I'm gonna make it feel like you haven't been out in a week.
00:31:18.000I don't know, you get holiday heart, you know, you get heart palpitations and the next day is just unbelievable AIDS because you drank more than you normally drink.
00:32:22.000I think he's born in Saskatoon, law professor, Harvard graduate.
00:32:27.000And he's just one of the most remarkably intelligent people in the world.
00:32:30.000And I think it's important to have a wide span of people around you.
00:32:36.000And Saturday night was, you know, violent and dumb.
00:32:38.000And seeing Artie's fucking fingernail-less junkiness was idiotic.
00:32:44.000And then the next night you go to the Harvard Dinner Club and you talk to F.H.
00:32:49.000Buckley about corruption and the two-party system.
00:32:54.000And I'm reading his book now, by the way.
00:32:56.000Our Machiavellian moment is the first chapter and it's just like some books, Mark Stein is like this, you know, as you read it you just feel your IQ rising.
00:33:05.000Like I'll just read the opening flap, the dust jacket.
00:33:09.000The Constitution is best understood as an anti-corruption covenant.
00:33:16.000We can't begin to understand its structure unless we recognize how the Framers meant to create what Buckley calls a quote-unquote Republic of Virtue.
00:33:24.000But over time their Constitution has spawned the thickest network of patronage and influence ever seen in any country.
00:33:31.000A crony capitalism in which business partners with government and transfers as which business partners with government and transfers wealth from the poor to the rich.
00:33:42.000And so we all sat and had dinner, and it was all, like, editors from Wall Street Journal, and Michael Goodman from the New York Post was there, and New York Times writers, and everyone has this blustery sort of, yeah, yeah, yeah, you show it, I'll show him!
00:33:59.000And I think it's this sort of transatlantic accent that's an affectation that you learn in boarding school.
00:34:04.000They're all boarding school kids, these sort of New York intellectuals.
00:34:08.000And boarding school picks up the affectations of not just the transatlantic accent of the 50s, which still has status, I think, in New York, but also the stuttering that I believe comes from King George, and it still prevails.
00:34:49.000But inevitably with the intellectuals, and you see this in Israel too, there's so much pontification there about why we're here and what we should do with the Palestinians.
00:35:24.000And the Palestinians respect it, I believe, deep down.
00:35:27.000And with this, they were talking about, well, you know, with Obama, we had this, and then there's a lot of... People don't seem to understand the metrics.
00:35:33.000There was so much about emotions with voting, and they want bigger government.
00:36:57.000He has another great book called The Way Back about how America can save itself from corruption and this satellite we've become from the earth of the Constitution, how we can get back to that piece of parchment.
00:37:28.000A little chap book and encounter books.
00:37:30.000Andrew McCarthy's a guy, a National Review guy.
00:37:32.000So it was also at the Harvard Club and there was all these National Review people there and I was particularly pissed.
00:37:37.000That night, drunk and mad, about a National Review doing a book on free speech when they had just fired John Derbyshire for doing The Talk, but for his kids.
00:37:52.000The Talk is where you sit and you tell your black kid that the cops might shoot him at any time, that he lives in a racist country, and that even if you get a law degree, you're not going to get a job because we live in apartheid, and you have to work twice as hard
00:39:25.000And I think another one was like if you're in a crowd and you look around you're the only non-black person there get out now That's that's some raunchy Dialogue, but if you would reverse the races and a black person wrote that article people would be in the root You know it would be a Taneshi Coates's latest article and everyone would love it
00:39:49.000You know, and you always have to do that.
00:39:50.000That was a great thing about Roger Ailes.
00:40:56.000And there was a New York Times reporter there and I, and previous to, can we cut the shit that was, they were talking about Jihad and Afghanistan and this foreign policy and what John Bolton was advocating here and why that led to this pushback.
00:41:10.000And it was all about getting into the mind of the jihadist.
00:41:14.000And I just said, why are we imbuing all this intellect on inbreds?
00:41:22.000And everyone at the table, and there was about 15 people, gasped.
00:42:48.000There was something weird that happened during that show.
00:42:50.000Just like there was a weird alpha thing when Artie showed up and I became this sort of beta wolf and sat there like... At one point, and I think Malice to a certain extent, but Milo and Anthony and I are obviously all alphas.
00:43:04.000And there's a weird dichotomy, not even a trichotomy I guess in this case, around alphas, where someone has to be on the top.
00:43:12.000And they don't like being guests because they have to be subservient to the host.
00:43:16.000And, you know, wolves, in a wolf pack, the alpha wolf fights every single day.
00:43:22.000Every single day, number two attacks him, just to make sure you're definitely the strongest.
00:43:26.000And I've noticed this in social situations.
00:43:29.000And I think about two-thirds of the way through the interview, Milo decided he wanted it to be his show.
00:43:35.000So he starts mocking Anthony's papers and throwing them away and saying, we're not doing this one.
00:44:40.000A dog was supposed to be a person just like it's it's the initial Dom Domino right that amazing microchip that God made he's trying to make a human but of course there's gonna be some mistakes along the way like a hammerhead shark is one of the worst creations that's one of the biggest tangents that this magic little pod went on but all other animals are just shitty humans and with wolves we see a lot of our social dynamics I find that fascinating that's kind of a
00:45:08.000Scott Adams type of thing to be interested in.
00:45:12.000Anyway, so after Milo's thing, I go, I'm going to James O'Keefe's book launch.
00:47:50.000There's this annoying thing, I guess it's all celebrities, but particularly on the right with old ladies, probably because they're donors, because they made a bunch of money from their divorce and they're used to conservatives tolerating them.
00:48:03.000And letting them do whatever they want.
00:48:04.000In fact, I remember at one party it was like a deplorable thing and there's all these rich old women with plastic surgery sexually harassing me.
00:48:14.000Like trying to make out with me and grabbing my ass.
00:48:16.000And I think they get away with that with a lot of conservatives and even libertarians because they're major donors.
00:49:24.000I understand if you were best friends with Winston Churchill and you have pictures of him on your mantelpiece next to all your other friends.
00:50:11.000That has to be announced, by the way, the day of.
00:50:16.000It has to be announced as a secret location.
00:50:18.000We're tr- we, conservatives, the new right, are the gays of the 50s.
00:50:24.000That's not a- probably a good way to frame it.
00:50:26.000We're the gays of 2000s, but there are gays still.
00:50:29.000We're like 1950s gays, is what I'm trying to say.
00:50:31.000Like in the 50s, if you wanted- if you were gay and you wanted to go to a bar with your boyfriend, you'd find a lesbian, and then the lesbian and the gay would go to the bar with the lesbian and the gay, and they'd face each other and play footsies underneath and the lesbian could touch the other one's knee and the gay could touch- that's the way we have to behave.
00:52:38.000And so, I'm walking over to him and there's John Levin is there.
00:52:42.000Now, John Levin, J-O-N, is a guy, I first met him at an Ann Coulter dinner, gay Jewish guy.
00:52:51.000Blogger and and likes she's a bit of a fag hag so she's always running herself with them, and there's two of these homosexual gossipers and So they sit down at dinner, and he's nervous down that I've sat down with him I go.
00:53:06.000Oh, what's going on here, and he says look.
00:53:08.000I just want to get this out of the way I did a hit piece on you in Mike or Vox or something, and I just want to apologize and
00:53:16.000And I go, I start getting mad, because I had a bad feeling about him the second I saw his little obsequious face with his little smarmy smile.
00:53:23.000And I said, what was the article again?
00:53:26.000Because I have a million bad articles written about me.
00:53:28.000And he goes, I don't even know, to be honest.
00:53:31.000It was like one of five things I wrote that day.
00:56:50.000In boxing, there's this beautiful combination where you make your left hook and your right so close together, it's almost a guaranteed knockout.
00:58:17.000I mean, every time I look at the news, even just as I sit down today, I look here and we've got this release the memo hashtag.
00:58:24.000That's since I've sat here, as they say in East London.
00:58:29.000And the moral of the story is, this is not a crappy DM, this is a carpe DM.
00:58:35.000It's really fun to be alive, and you know when the best way to conquer all this adversity is to be an honest person, to be totally truthful to yourself, to be open to different ideas, and open to the left and the right, and to just sort of bombastically
