00:00:02.000It's off camera on, tell me what to say.
00:00:05.000Thoughts rolling in my head that never go away.
00:00:08.000I can't really tell you what is enough there, except that nothing ever matches.
00:00:13.000Live from New York, it's Get Off My Lawn with Gavin McGinnis.
00:00:20.000Everything you knew about me really wasn't true.
00:00:23.000I just told you on the internet to make me seem cool.
00:00:26.000Cause you'll never know anything about me.
00:00:29.000Cause I'm just another guy in a lame city.
00:00:32.000Cause you'll never know anything about me.
00:00:35.000Cause I'm just another guy in a lame city.
00:00:44.000That was Dunes Day from Kansas City, Missouri.
00:06:53.000When I see them on the street, I don't go, ew, you're a cult.
00:06:56.000I go, wow, you managed to avoid Mickey Mouse, porn, rap, all of this stuff, and retain your culture like in amber for, what is it, 120 years, 200 years?
00:09:20.000The Buffalo shooter had been talking to a federal agent.
00:09:23.000So do we have federal agents out there talking to the mentally ill and encouraging them to kidnap people, commit crimes with guns that we want banned, we, the government want spanned?
00:09:36.000Because now you have a government committing terrorism.
00:09:40.000I mean, we mock Saudi Arabia and China, but do we have a government that is encouraging terrorist acts against its own people to further its own aims?
00:10:03.000We need a fucking formidable force to go against an institution that is convincing our mentally ill to commit acts of terror to benefit them at a moment when mental illness is through the fucking roof.
00:11:42.000Has decided to get into these kids' ears and start suggesting they might want to shoot up a school or kidnap a governor or storm the capital.
00:12:02.000Why don't use your magical powers to go to the dentist?
00:12:06.000Look at these fucking every can the feds convince him to go to the orthodontist?
00:16:06.000And I know, because when I re-released the paperback as Death the Cool, the sales were just be, look at this.
00:16:14.000They've got a retard as an influencer, but they don't want to exploit her, so they made her up.
00:16:19.000The fake influencer trying to inspire real change.
00:16:22.000Kami, the world's first virtual social media star with Down syndrome, launches Instagram to try and hit back at filtered and perfect beauty standards.
00:25:05.000Didn't I just tell you about 20 minutes ago about a government that is talking to the mentally ill and trying to get them to commit mass shootings?
00:25:15.000Like, we know that mental illness is a huge part, I'd say 80% of mass shootings.
00:25:21.000But I'm coming to terms with the fact that the government likes that.
00:25:26.000Or at least a large part of the swamp is into using that weapon, which is why we can't pussyfoot around here with petitions and maybes and doing an honest day's work.
00:30:37.000When you join, they go back to El Salvador, Mexico, Guatemala, whatever.
00:30:42.000They make sure they know who your grandmother is, who your cousins are, who your mother is, so they can kill her if you fuck around and if you snitch.
00:31:05.000So what the FBI seems to have done is just given up, and they focused on proud boys, oath keepers, old grannies who went to Jan 6, because that's the easy prey.
00:31:17.000Why would we have to penetrate MS-13 when they've penetrated this very country already?
00:31:28.000Because they've penetrated this country already.
00:37:57.000They got rivets in them and everything and plush red velour.
00:38:00.000And Big A is just like, ah, and Anthony goes, how is that different than a junkie coming to my house and like falling asleep with the stove on and burning my kitchen down?
00:41:07.000Forgive me if I've already said this, but on a soap opera or better call Saul or Sopranos, you can have multiple characters.
00:41:16.000And I get to know them over the dozens of hours of footage.
00:41:21.000In the case of soap operas, it's years.
00:41:24.000They go so long, characters die and they just switch out the actor.
00:41:28.000I had a friend who was addicted to soap operas because he grew up Seventh-day Adventist and he was only allowed to watch TV at his grandmother's house, which was soap opera, so that's all he knew.
00:41:36.000And he said, it starts out and he says, the role of Ryan Katsu-Rivera will be played by Chris Cotton.
00:41:43.000And he goes, it takes about 10 days, but then you get used to it and you move on and you can accept the new actor doing this character.
00:46:59.000Who's more of a mascot to this, not just show, this brand, this whole network, than the man who taught Felonious Floyd to say the bird which is the bald eagle?
00:51:24.000A properly trained human body is a weapon.
00:51:27.000Okay, so that is a lefty's version of a Paul Rudd movie, which was already a lefty movie.
00:51:36.000That is the exact same plot as Living With Yourself, 81, where Paul Rudd learns of a way to clone yourself, they kill him, and then he doesn't die.
00:51:49.000So then his new quest is to kill the clone.
00:53:19.000They are, before they show some disgusting, racist, sexist, birth of a nation hate porn like Police Academy, you know, in some vintage blast from the past, 80s Sundays at AMC.
00:53:34.000Someone comes out and warns you that some of these jokes are old-fashioned.
00:53:39.000Believe it or not, jokes from almost half a century ago are old.
00:54:04.000AMC is breaking into its showing of Police Academy to have two talking heads shame the film's joke writers 38 years after the fact for not living up to 2022 standards on race, gender, and sexuality.
00:54:19.000This is, as Ricky Gervais points out, that who would have guessed that saying women don't have penises would be considered offensive in 2022.
00:54:29.000Does Michael Winslow come out and he's like, wham, whamp, whow, ohooga?
00:59:06.000Just like the SPLC was based on the SCLC, Trump comes up with a canceled network that has almost the exact same acronym as my own show.
00:59:14.000Whether it be in Hollywood, news media, search engines, payment processing, these are all areas that I think people could get canceled.
00:59:23.000Americans could get canceled if you don't pay homage to the proper woke God.
00:59:28.000Those are the things we're going to fight against, Devin Nunes, CEO of Truth Social and former Republican congressman told Epoch TV's American Thought Leaders Program in an interview earlier this year.
00:59:56.000And so what this will end up being is a really watered-down version of Censored.tv.
01:00:02.000It'll be like that comedy tour that Daily Wire does with Adam Carolla and Ty Richards and the fucking Marine guy, Rob Marina, what's his name?
01:00:16.000And those kind of guys, like Tim Home Improvement Guy.
01:00:38.000No one has a problem with them, but are you really clamoring to see them talk?
01:00:43.000But I sent you a pic a while ago of someone trying to privately DM.
01:00:50.000I was making a mass email this morning for the Orlando show because we have, though we only have 25,000 subscribers, we've had people come and go.
01:00:56.000And over the long term, we have like 80,000 emails.
01:06:03.000It was a category that was created in 1823 that allowed judges to abstain from pronouncing a sentence of death on any capital convict whom they considered to be a fit subject for pardon.
01:06:14.000I don't think any of the executions you've identified here actually happened.
01:06:18.000Sometimes the complaints will be false.
01:06:20.000Well, that's a really important thing to investigate.
01:07:21.000But it is still worth noting that she is about to release a book called The Bodies of Others about big tech's war on us, and big tech censored it.
01:08:03.000Another one that fell victim, I don't know, got to read into why, but our buddy Ibrahim X. Kendi's animated movie, Anti-Racist Baby.
01:08:12.000Brian, what the fuck has that got to do with what we're talking about?
01:08:17.000Because he's a lefty and he's getting shut down too.
01:08:21.000No, she is shut down because she criticized big tech and big tech shut her down.
01:08:26.000Ibrahim X is being removed from Netflix because Netflix is going bankrupt because they bought a whole bunch of woke garbage and they're trying to save their company.
01:08:39.000Very different, but thank you for your input.
01:08:42.000I don't like millennials like Ryan, but I do, and I fucking hate boomers, but it's one is beholden on a regular basis to look at his prejudices and try to see the other side.
01:08:56.000So I spent some time earlier to see the other side of the boomer experience, and I found 10 really cool things about them that I'd like to share with you now via the green screen.
01:13:47.000They left art school, able to do the painting on the front of a Harlequin romance novel.
01:13:55.000Education sucks now, but the beauty of going to schools when education was good is baby boomers are pretty smart.
01:14:02.000Even the fucking liberals that I hate.
01:14:04.000You ask them about Israel and Palestine and when it was formed, and India and Pakistan when they were formed, the civil war between the Muslims and the Hindus.
01:14:14.000You ask them about the wars in Australia, the Boer War of 1800, Winston Churchill's past before he was a politician, how he was a rich kid with an insecurity.
01:14:26.000You know, you can ask them about Hunter Thompson and the Yippie movement right up into the 70s, Weather Underground.
01:14:32.000They know all this shit, great knowledge of geography and history.
01:14:36.000So they're educated because education was good back then.
01:14:39.000And as we saw in the opening with those men on the streets, so we are not fucking educated.
01:14:44.000We don't know what a compass is anymore.
01:14:48.000Number three, they love bragging about this, but I got to admit, they stopped a war.
01:15:53.000And they took that anger and manifested it onto the streets and helped end a horrific war.
01:16:00.000A war that I think we can all agree, right and left, we all sort of shudder to think of what that war must have been like.
01:16:11.000I can still just be on the bus or the train and just think of it and go, dr. Which is why when we see a Vietnam vet, we revere them so much.
01:16:31.000When I was a kid, my parents would party on a Tuesday night, Wednesday night.
01:16:35.000We'd have Halloween parties where I would go trick-or-treating by myself because they'd be back dressed as vampires and goblins at home with like 50 friends there wall to wall.
01:16:44.000I remember coming out of my bedroom as a 10-year-old and going, I got to go to school tomorrow.
01:19:50.000There was way more kidnapping back then.
01:19:51.000Crime's gone down dramatically since the 70s.
01:19:55.000Yet we're so paranoid about our kids that we have to have activists like Lenore Skinesi writing books like Free Range Kids to say, it's okay to let your kids play.
01:20:03.000You don't need to be there all the time.
01:20:08.000And that's why we have an obesity problem.
01:20:10.000So shout out to the boomers for letting kids play and not constantly monitoring them all the time and worrying that, like, we have parents now who go like, can you tell the other kids on the chat to stop making fun of Joey?
01:21:14.000There was a great opportunity in Canada.
01:21:17.000I picked up my British accent, packed up my Bino comics, and bang, I was a hoser in a week because my parents saw a better opportunity in a completely different continent.
01:21:28.000Now you get people going, well, I want to stay in my field.
01:21:33.000I'll wait for another chance to be a social media influencer for this restaurant.
01:22:32.000Like, there's this house called the Diamond House in the Hamptons.
01:22:36.000It was made for $6,000 in the early 60s.
01:22:40.000And I just thought it was so ballsy that someone, like, the Hamptons took four hours to get to back then.
01:22:46.000Long Island was, like, five hours before the highways.
01:22:50.000And these people would, like, find a piece of beachland, buy it for nothing, and then just build a house on it.
01:22:57.000Like, I have a buddy, one of the dudes, Dave from Fubar, he got a container and he stuck it in the woods in Newfoundland, I think, Halifax.
01:23:10.000I think he actually made one, the foundation, and stacked another one on top.
01:23:13.000That's pretty rare with my generation.
01:23:16.000The fact that the boomers did it on a regular basis is something I envy, where they would just find a place in the middle of nowhere, level the land, kind of like Owen Benjamin.
01:23:25.000I'm giving all these examples of Gen X doing it, but it was relatively common back then.
01:23:30.000And now it's only freaks like my creative weirdo friends, Owen Benjamin and Dave from Fubar.
01:24:39.000And then his instructions were to be immediately cremated.
01:24:43.000Now, apparently, if you had cancer and you got a special kind of health insurance, they find out that you didn't mention the cancer or you weren't even tested for it, you lose that health insurance, the kids don't get the money, right?
01:24:58.000Your children don't get the money, your children being 50 years old.
01:25:02.000But if you are never diagnosed and you're instantly cremated, how are they going to find out you have cancer?
01:25:08.000So he just took cancer on the chin to maximize the inheritance for his daughter.
01:25:12.000That's what I should say instead of children, his daughter.
01:25:35.000This guy is allergic to something, but he eats it anyway because it's yummy as his eyes, you know, slowly seal and he sort of is wheezing for an hour after.
01:26:30.000When my dad, he saw a guy, I've told this story a million times, but he saw a guy's dad, dad, he saw a guy's dog taking a shit in the park and he goes, pick that up.
01:29:46.000We'd seen a powerful counterattack by communism against its semi-defeat in the Cuba crisis of 62.
01:29:52.000The Soviet Union had squashed Czechoslovakia's attempt to win a little freedom for Central Europe, and it set about disconnecting Western Europe from America's nuclear protection by building a nuclear missile force of its own that could hit America.
01:30:06.000The North Vietnamese Army had helped its local friends to impose a one-party communist dictatorship on a South Vietnam, most of whose people did not want it.
01:30:16.000The Russians were busily constructing a network of alliances in the Middle East and Africa.
01:30:21.000The Cold War, it seemed, might roll on forever.
01:30:38.000Let the people conduct their own freedom.
01:30:42.000Don't thwart progress by trying to improve it.
01:30:45.000And he also knew that communism is the biggest scourge.
01:30:48.000This is something most of us have forgotten, and we're paying the price for it now.
01:30:53.000So while we shit on the boomers for wrecking a lot of Western society, it's important to remember that up until the 80s, at least, they were doing a damn good job of preserving our freedoms and ensuring the West is the best.
01:31:07.000So let's make America great again and try to get back to these days when the boomers weren't shitheads and they were actually kind of awesome dudes.
01:33:10.000And I agree with them that this grotesque structure that Ryan seems reluctant to show us is a perfect summation of what the radical left has done to women.
01:35:49.000Your goal in life should be to be around people you can most be yourself around.
01:35:54.000On top of that, you can kind of tell when someone is not right in the head, when they're not being themselves, when they're deeply damaged, when they're manic depressives, when they're bipolar.
01:38:31.000Instead, we said, can you look after my dearest, most sacred thing, my child, and inject your bizarre made-up speech pathology into my child's brain?
01:38:44.000And the other thing, too, about these people is they're very agreeable, because you have to be if you're a fucking crazy, retarded lunatic moron.
01:38:52.000Because in the cave days, they just get a rock dropped on them.
01:38:55.000So they're like, I'm anyone's dog for a bone.
01:38:58.000Radical Marxist weirdos take advantage of that and they say, okay, let's brainwash them into being Marxists and then they can spread our little fucking messages.
01:43:53.000It's gangster, the gangster bad boy drug dealers that they're attracted to, who they either catfish or the guys are ashamed That they fucked a dude.
01:44:01.000So you should be like marching outside of gangsters' homes in the hood.
01:48:54.000Maybe we should do a sketch like that.
01:48:56.000And I go back to Teenage Me and I go, hey, you're like an anarcho-punk with a mohawk.
01:49:01.000I'm known as the face of hate in America.
01:49:05.000Oh my God, what the fuck happened to me?
01:49:07.000Did you get brainwashed by a Republican cult?
01:49:10.000No, I believe things like women don't have penises, you shouldn't cut a child's tits off, and you shouldn't give children the same drug they used to chemically castrate pedophiles.
01:53:25.000So why are you shattering the shell and yanking him out of the egg?
01:53:29.000Eli was an audience favorite on the main stage, doing a variety of Vogue dancing moves, including death drops, as other attendees gathered to cheer him on.
01:53:38.000From his place atop the DJ booth, RuPaul was cheering him on, too.
01:53:41.000At one point, Eli made a heart with his hands, giving back the power of love the audience was showing him with his applause.
01:55:11.000The Washington Post stealth-edited Taylor Lorenz's report after YouTubers accused her of falsely claiming she reached out to them for comment prior to publication of her story about content creators thriving during the Johnny Depp Amber Heard trial.
01:55:24.000And then Libs of TikTok says, just edited Taylor.
01:55:27.000No, she goes, The Washington Post just edited Taylor Lorenz's article claiming she reached out to two accounts for comment after those accounts posted that she, in fact, never reached out to them.
01:59:38.000So I think it's important to have a public discussion.
01:59:42.000Some families think it's racially charged to put this book in front of our kids.
01:59:47.000So I would like to have the superintendents because it's definitely a topic that has been very relevant in our meetings and is definitely very relevant for several families.
01:59:59.000I understand that, Daniela, but at this time, respectfully, I'll ask you to move to another question or we transition to the community feedback of the town hall.
02:00:08.000So you just the last 30 minutes of censoring this question or you're telling me, can I ask another question or you can ask another question, but allowing 30 minutes for community feedback, right?
02:00:22.000We'll definitely allow, but without the candidates being in the platform.
02:01:12.000Nobody has concerns about culturally relevant curriculum.
02:01:14.000Families have concerns about books that say that whites invented racism.
02:01:18.000And so it's a fair question to ask, but nobody has concerns about culturally relevant curriculum.
02:01:24.000I'm not going to, I don't think it's the GOE role to censor the questions that our community has asked and selected parents have been selected.
02:01:34.000And also, I don't think, yeah, I really don't think that that's the DOE role.
02:01:40.000Danielle Chen, the DOE is hosting this platform that we're on right now.
02:01:47.000So we're losing time for parent feedback.
02:01:51.000Let's watch parent feedback, but let's keep on record that the DOE has censored a question very relevant to our community that we have discussed in our meetings.
02:01:59.000I just want to make sure that this is on the record.
02:02:49.000I think you noticed only non-whites have the balls to say this, to question any of these bizarre books the kids are getting that say that whites invented race.
02:02:59.000And we covered that book, if you recall.
02:03:01.000It said a long time ago, no dates, of course, white people decided that there was lots of different races, and whites were better, smarter, and more beautiful than all the other races, which is a lie.
02:04:10.000And I'd like to move forward here because we have just this last question for our candidates here.
02:04:17.000I understand that this is controversial, but we've had fascinating discussion here and we've learned it's been very enlightening today.
02:04:28.000So I'd like to just end it with this one last question.
02:04:31.000And maybe you can ask, Danielle, we've had a number of questions submitted from the community during this meeting to a Q ⁇ A if you can choose one.
