*******************************************************

Gavin McInnes (muhKINNis) defies any kind of shorthand description. The perpetually lied about McInnes is, inter alia, the co-founder of Vice magazine, the founder of the Proud Boys, a social critic and commentator, a satirist so good his enemies don’t get him, a writer, an ex-atheist Catholic convert, and a resolute family man.

He’s also stinking hilarious, if potty mouthed. (Maybe partly why?) So, potty word alert on this one.

Banned from YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon—and the sovereign country of Australia owing to his “bad character”—Gavin has also launched a lawsuit against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for slandering him as a “hate group” (ironic, considering what the SPLC doe$ for a living) and damaging is career.

After this interview, you will know:

The background to his exit from the Proud Boys group (it’s not what you’d think)
Why the Right wants to debate and the Left wants to delete
Why the far Left became allies with militant Islam
What “Western chauvinism” means and doesn’t mean
Where his punch-back-twice-as-hard attitude comes from
Why his woke (and rumor has it fictional) brother Miles McInnes is being hired by Rebel Media

Question of the week:

Why do free-speech advocates assume someone else will always be willing to fight for your right to free speech?
