Joe Rogan on Gavin McInnes Being Deplatformed

He still has his YouTube account and he's still able to you know The some one of things that we're seeing with de-platforming is it's sort of a cascading effect. So dominoes Twitter takes you down and then Facebook takes you down and was a guy not limbo but some other Right winger that got like said some shit and they Gavin McGinnis. Yeah, they proud boys guy. They took him off of everything Yeah, he's off of everything. Yeah. Yeah, and that's that's that and with him It's even what was he's like a hate speech guy, isn't he's like fucking inciting violence and whatever he definitely Did incite violence in that he wanted these proud boys to fight against Antifa and he felt like the Antifa people were thugs and that they showed up at conservative events and they threatened violence And then he wanted the proud boys to fight them I actually had him on my podcast long before any of this shit went down when I didn't even know what the fuck the proud Boys was and I was asking him. I knew him as the co-founder of vice right and I know knew him as What I would basically say is he he was essentially He was a shit talker he's a provocateur He was a clever provocateur and was kind of a funny guy like he came the last time he came on the show He was dressed like Michael Douglas from falling down. He had the fucking briefcase and everything in the crazy tie and yeah I mean he's do it, but he did it on purpose. He said he's dressing like Michael Douglas from falling down like he's He's a guy who would trick people into coming in and talking with him on his YouTube channel And they thought that he was liberal or progressive and then he would you know He would basically talked him into a corner You know like some Sasha Baron Cohen for that shit or Ali G, you know in a way Yeah, he was doing a lot of that and there was some of it was very clever I'm doing on his YouTube channel then he got into this whole proud boys thing and we there's a video you can watch the bizarre Origins of the proud boys from a podcast that I did with Anthony Kumiya from Opie and Anthony Okay, and he explains how the proud boys initially were just a joke It's it's a it was literally a joke and they did it to make fun of a guy that was one of the was he one of their interns Yeah, it's kind of a crazy story man And then that shit took a real life of its own and now they're fucking junior KKK kind of yeah, exactly That's crazy. They they be they all the sudden it got away from him and they became an organization where you could just join So all these people joined and then they act as a proud boy They were beating people up and all this other crazy shit. He doubles down on that. He got out He quit he denounced his position the pretty realize like his life is falling apart Yeah, he's being labeled as you know So they were they falsely claimed the FBI labeled them as a hate crime But they didn't but the Southern Poverty Law Center did label them as a hate crime and suffer several other organizations did as well But the Southern Poverty Law Center they've had some pretty crazy shit that they've said as well. Okay, they're a serious liberal progressive organization that occasionally oversteps the boundaries of logic and reason they But he what he did was start an organization and I had a joke about about vegans My joke about vegans was the problem with vegans is the problem with any other group if you get a group of a hundred people What are the odds that one of them is gonna be a fucking idiot? Well, that's a hundred percent right right if we're being like really charitable one out of a hundred is a fucking moron so if you get a group like vegans where just anyone can join and you have There's 300 million people in this country that means there's three million fucking idiots That's generous and a lot of them are vegan and this is the joke was that the problem is not the actual People with good ethics and morals don't want animals to suffer The problem is you let a bunch of people with no identity join your gang, right? And then they become a part of this plant-based gang. This is the same thing with the proud boys I think some of them probably went into it thinking it was a goof and they were gonna go there and they thought these Antifa assholes these 90 pound dorks swinging bike locks at people and calling everybody a Nazi and a fascist and trying to shut down Every single conservative speech that was at any any sort of University these people were preposterous. They were calling Ben Shapiro a Nazi He's a fucking Jewish man. Where's the yarmulke? I mean, it's crazy to call him a Nazi. It's completely insane Yes, please conservative the alt right and the alt left almost right. Yes, exactly And so their idea was to have something that would be there to balance out the alt left and it got Control and so he denounced it and he stepped away from it pull away, but it's too late He sees now what you said see you don't know him, but you said he's the hate speech guy You said he's that guy's that hey, that's how everybody's gonna see him, right? So if you found out your sister was dating him you'd like what you're dating the hate speech guy Like that's who he is. They'd be like no, no, no, it's not that it's like it got away from him It just it became this it wasn't him anymore with all these people that joined that were actual racist too late Yeah, doesn't matter too late. There's no room for that in this world. I'm out the game. Yeah. Yeah, so any all these other groups Hat once he started getting deplatformed These other groups got pressure to deplatform him because they said hey you keep the hate speech guy You're telling me that hate speech guys on YouTube and they're like fuck. Okay, we got to take him off And so that this domino effect does seem to take place So with this sargon of a cod thing though It doesn't seem to be taking place with him because people are examining what he said and they're saying well This is a sloppy use of these words It's not wise what he did, but I do not think he's a racist right? I don't think he was promoting racism what he was doing was he was using words Poorly awfully, but yeah, I mean that's what he's guilty of. Yeah, but that's the I mean that's a that's a Good sign. He's not being deplatformed then if like like if people are taking a beat to realize like like oh I Don't hate gays and blacks like that's that's the point that the whole this whole thing has been a lesson in patience And that's good to hear that like this guy is Being afforded some patience about but in their defense. He's already been kicked off of Twitter He'd been kicked off a Twitter before I don't know what for though Do you know what he got kicked off a Twitter for he got kicked off a Twitter previously? So he already had that scarlet mark, you know, there was already people were already looking at him He's been inarticulate on Twitter before I don't know what he had done if he had they determined that he had harassed somebody what's that? Is a new account might be how many followers yeah 13,000. Yeah, it's probably new he had a lot more than that He must have I wonder if he started a new account. I say here permanently banned account Yeah, he's permanently banned Oh, so it's pretty old That funny April of 2017 is millions of years ago now. Uh-huh the news cycle so fast. It's too fast It's weird. It's it's dude. I'm telling you when I was at the show. It was like a story would be Hot Monday morning and then Tuesday morning is like what happened? No, no one gives a shit. No one gives a shit
