0:25
folks, the protests that have broken out at America's
0:28
college campuses don't look like they're going to stop
0:30
anytime soon, at least not in the blue states,
0:32
where all of the administrators and
0:34
the governments have decided to
0:36
basically allow these puerile children
0:38
who are pro-terrorist to continue
0:41
their activities at infinitum.
0:44
Why? Well, because they must be
0:46
humored. NBC reporter
0:48
Stephanie Gossack, she says that the protesters at Columbia
0:51
University, for example, are not going anywhere despite the
0:53
fact that the semester is coming to an end
0:55
pretty soon. You know,
0:57
Columbia University extended the deadline for the Tencent
0:59
Catmen here by 48 hours, but
1:02
that deadline runs out tonight at midnight.
1:04
And the students I have spoken with
1:06
here say they aren't going anywhere. As
1:09
you mentioned, tension around the country is
1:11
growing, it's spreading, it's leading to dramatic
1:13
confrontations with police and dozens of arrests.
1:18
Well, as it turned out, the deadline
1:20
for that deal passed and nothing happened because
1:22
it turns out that the administrators are a
1:24
bunch of cowards. They are running scared from
1:26
their own faculty, they're running scared from themselves
1:29
because they all agree with these students, obviously,
1:31
and they are running scared from these students.
1:33
And all of this raises a question. The
1:36
students who are doing this sort of stuff, 18,
1:38
19, 20 year old students who are
1:40
paying $80,000 a year
1:42
or on scholarship to major in a useless
1:44
field at a place like Columbia University, these
1:48
are some of the richest, most privileged people in the history of
1:50
the world, by any stretch of
1:52
the imagination. And yet there they are
1:54
protesting not just Israel, of course, not
1:56
just in favor of actual honest-to-God terror
1:58
groups, but against... Because let's
2:00
be real about what these people will like and
2:02
what these people don't like. The thing they really
2:05
don't like most of all is America and the
2:07
West. The West that has given them extraordinary
2:09
levels of privilege. They hate that West.
2:11
They think that that West is the
2:14
source of victimization. They think
2:16
that West is exploitative, and they seek
2:18
to tear it down. It's the only
2:20
reason, as I've been saying for legitimately
2:22
years at this point, that you would
2:24
see something like queers for Palestine, which
2:26
is inherently self-contradictory. It makes absolutely no
2:28
sense. You would not see drag queens'
2:30
story hours in favor of Hamas, but you do.
2:32
And the only reason is because you have a
2:35
coalition of people who believe that the entire system
2:37
is itself evil and wrong and corrupt. So who
2:40
are these kids who make up the
2:42
system? Well, today we have Case 1A.
2:45
That is a person named Kaimani James. So
2:48
Kaimani James is a student at
2:50
Columbia University, not
2:52
just a student at Columbia University. Kaimani James, who
2:55
says that he goes by he, she, they. Kaimani
2:58
James is one of the organizers of this
3:00
Hamas protest. In fact, he was
3:02
directly negotiating with the leadership of Columbia. Now,
3:05
here is the thing. You
3:07
don't have negotiations with students. The
3:10
students pay their clients to come to the
3:12
university, but they're only a client under certain
3:14
circumstances. Namely, they abide by the rules that
3:16
apply to the clients in an establishment. And
3:19
if you walk into a restaurant, you're a
3:21
client of the restaurant. If you proceed to
3:23
take off your pants in underwear, they're going
3:25
to have you arrested. You have now violated
3:27
the rules of the establishment. Well, these students
3:30
are in no position to, quote-unquote, bargain with
3:32
the administration. They're not any labor situation
3:35
with the administration. They're
3:37
not in any sort of forced relationship
3:39
with the administration. So
3:41
where exactly is the leverage point? The
3:44
leverage point is simply the weakness of the
3:46
administration. So here is Kaimani James announcing that
3:48
he, she, they. Has had
3:50
communications with the Columbia
3:52
administration and has achieved
3:55
concessions from the Columbia administration. Again,
3:57
there's a large-scale difference between the administration and the
3:59
Columbia administration. at universities like Columbia and
4:01
what's happening down at University of Florida,
4:03
for example, where you're also seeing some
4:06
pro-Chammas protesters, but they've all been
4:08
issued with rules. And the rules are you can
4:10
use free speech, but you can't violate the following
4:12
statutes. You cannot trespass if you do.
4:14
If you violate these statutes, you will be
4:16
thrown out of the university, which is the
4:18
way that universities ought to treat protests. You're
4:21
doing fine. You're in the free speech
4:23
category until you're not. And when you're not, then
4:25
you get arrested. Here is Kaimani James, obviously
4:28
a person to be reckoned with at
4:30
the Columbia University level. The
4:56
majority of whom are Palestinian, black,
4:59
brown, and Jewish students, from marginalized
5:02
backgrounds to wait in the
5:04
cold overnight to find out if
5:06
they would be attacked and arrested by the NYPD
5:08
or national law, early
5:11
this morning we won the concession that
5:13
the university will not call law enforcement
5:15
on our people's protests. So,
5:19
who are people like Kaimani James? Well, here's
5:21
what we know about Kaimani James. This is
5:23
a person who's been featured in the pages
5:25
of The Boston Globe since his
5:28
youth. Okay, so The Boston Globe actually
5:30
ran a piece about Kaimani James in
5:32
2021 talking about this incredible activist.
5:35
Quote, as a global pandemic raged last
5:37
fall and battles over school reopening plans
5:39
turned bitter, a 17-year-old high
5:41
school senior named Kaimani James was sworn in
5:43
as a student representative on Boston's school committee.
5:46
From the confines of his bedroom, where he logged
5:49
into Marathon School Committee meetings on Zoom and peppered
5:51
Twitter with his sharp critiques and pointed questions, James
5:54
became an unlikely force in Boston politics last
5:56
winter as he advocated for the city's 50,000
5:58
students. Outspoken
6:00
and relentless in his quest for answers, the
6:02
teenager's direct approach at times contrasted starkly, with
6:04
the more cautious guard-it-takes of his school committee
6:06
elders, all of them political appointees who served
6:08
as the pleasure of mayor. You know
6:10
that expression defies the laws of physics? I
6:13
defile the laws of politics, James said. I
6:15
answer to the students, and not to anyone
6:17
else. Known for his
6:19
scathing critiques of Boston schools, James is also a
6:21
sterling example of the system's potential. A young black
6:24
man raised by a single immigrant mother in a
6:26
South Boston housing development, nurtured by teachers who recognized
6:28
his potential, accepted by one of the city's best
6:30
public high schools, and then by a prestigious Ivy
6:32
League college, Columbia University. So in other words, the
6:35
system worked to help a person from
6:37
an impoverished background get ahead, and
6:39
he proceeds to attack the system. Why?
6:42
Because this is what makes you famous in America today
6:44
as a young person. If
6:46
you wish for attention, the best way to attain attention, if
6:48
you're a young person at this point, is
6:50
aggressive victimhood, an aggressive sense of agreement,
6:52
even from a society that is helping
6:54
you along every step, that wants to
6:57
see you succeed. And
6:59
the best shield you have against a claim that you are
7:01
not, in fact, being victimized or being helped is your
7:03
intersectionality. Because no matter
7:05
how many times you say, the system has
7:07
helped you get ahead, the system has helped
7:09
you go from impoverished, single-mom background to Columbia
7:11
University, you can say, ah, but I am
7:13
still a victim of that same system, because
7:16
after all, I am fill in the blank.
7:18
Black, gay, trans,
7:20
Palestinian, queer, whatever term you
7:22
want to use. We'll get
7:24
to more on this in just a moment. First, using
7:26
the internet without ExpressVPN, it's like having a first aid
7:28
kit but not actually keeping it stocked. Most of the
7:30
time, probably fine, but if you suddenly get into a
7:33
horrible accident and there is nothing in the first aid
7:35
kit, every time you connect to an unencrypted network in
7:37
cafes, hotels, or airports, you're essentially leaving your personal data
7:39
wide open for any hacker on the same network. Don't
7:43
wait for a security breach to happen. Protect yourself
7:45
with ExpressVPN. Your data isn't just data. It's valuable
7:47
information hackers can make up to $1,000 per person
7:49
selling on the dark web. That's
7:52
why you need to protect it with ExpressVPN. I
7:54
love that ExpressVPN creates a secure encrypted tunnel between my device
7:57
and the internet, so hackers can't steal my sensitive data. They
8:00
take a hacker with a supercomputer
8:02
over a billion years to get
8:04
past ExpressVPN's encryption. ExpressVPN is incredibly
8:06
easy to use. Just fire up
8:08
that app, click one button, get
8:10
protected. Plus, it works on all
8:12
devices including phones, laptops, tablets and
8:15
more, so you can stay secure

8:27
Boston Globe piece, which again is about a
8:29
17-year-old, is about
8:32
a person who has been cultivating
8:34
professional victimhood for his entire
8:36
teenage lifetime. There's a
8:38
picture of him, for example, chanting with a crowd during
8:40
a March for Our Lives rally in 2018. That
8:43
was three years prior. That's when he was 14 going
8:45
to rallies and politically rallying. James
8:50
ended up quitting that particular committee. Why?
8:52
Because he was a victim. According
8:56
to the Boston Globe, just a little
8:58
later, quote, a high school senior
9:00
resigned as Boston School Committee's student representative
9:02
Thursday, saying administrators had silenced students' voices
9:04
and that he has deep concerns about
9:06
a nonprofit group that oversees the district-wide
9:09
student council. Kaimani James, a
9:11
senior at Boston Latin Academy, said he
9:13
stepped down after concluding that the district's
9:15
leaders, including administrators, staffers, and school board
9:17
members, were racist and adultist in overlooking
9:20
concerns by him and his fellow students,
9:22
most of whom are black and Latino.
9:25
Another dozen students with similar complaints resigned from
9:27
the Boston Student Advisory Council, according to a
9:29
district-wide student government board, according to James. He
9:31
said, I had no choice but to resign.
9:34
I can't be part of a system that
9:36
tells kids, oh, we're listening to you, but
9:38
their actions are the complete antithesis. Here's
9:42
the thing about Kaimani James. Again, this is
9:44
a person who has cultivated victimhood his entire
9:47
lifetime, and you can see the apotheosis of
9:49
this approach in a disciplinary
9:52
hearing that was held with Kaimani James
9:54
and the Columbia University administration. I'm
9:56
using him as an example because he just stands
9:58
in for literally ten seconds. of thousands, if
10:00
not hundreds of thousands of idiot students,
10:03
the country over. So
10:05
Kaimani James was called on
10:07
the carpet by Columbia's administration a few
10:09
months ago. Why? Because
10:12
Kaimani James has suggested that he wanted to
10:14
kill a Zionist. This
10:16
is about a six-minute clip. We're going to break
10:18
it down here because it really is all the
10:21
things. It's all the things. It is the entire
10:23
mentality. I am a victim, therefore I get
10:25
to be an aggressor. I have
10:27
been helped by the American system,
10:29
therefore America is evil. The
10:32
people who have largely put me in a
10:34
position of privilege and power are
10:36
people who do not share my race, but
10:38
white supremacy is the great threat to everything.
10:42
Again, the system that gave this person prominence is
10:44
the system that this person is now attacking. And
10:48
he is an organizer at Columbia, pro-Kamos
10:50
organizer at Columbia. There is a
10:52
reason why. And
10:55
the system that is too weak to give
10:57
values to its children ends up being eaten
10:59
by them. And that is exactly
11:02
what we are watching right now. So here is
11:04
Kaimani James. This is a – he live streamed
11:06
a disciplinary hearing. So there's a disciplinary hearing going
11:08
on in his laptop here. And he's live streaming
11:10
it to all of his friends over
11:12
here. Here he is. My name
11:14
is Sashilah Kedaway. I'm one of the
11:17
associate directors in the Center for
11:19
Student Success and Intervention. I'm Kaimani
11:22
James. I use he, she,
11:24
they pronouns. Zaya
11:26
has been my V.M. wanting to meet up
11:28
and fight. I don't fight to injure or
11:31
for there to be a winner or a
11:33
loser. I fight to kill. See y'all in
11:35
New York January, 2024. So
11:38
that's specifically what we're going to
11:40
discuss in period. Do you see
11:42
why that's problematic in any way?
11:45
No. Do you think that there's
11:47
a serious weight in taking someone else's
11:50
life? I think there
11:52
is a serious weight in taking someone's life. And
11:55
at the same time, I think that
11:58
taking someone's life in certain – in
12:00
case scenarios is
12:02
necessary and better for the
12:04
overall world. And so
12:06
I personally have never killed anyone. Thank the
12:09
ward that no one has to put me
12:11
in that position. Though when
12:14
Hitler died, the world rejoiced. Everyone
12:17
looks back at that
12:19
time period and said that Hitler
12:21
needed to die because he was
12:23
exacting an immense amount
12:26
of harm against the world. And
12:28
so just like that, during
12:31
the Haitian Revolution, their
12:33
Haitian slaves had to kill
12:35
their masters in order to
12:37
gain their independence. These
12:40
were masters who were white supremacists.
12:43
What is a Zionist, a white
12:45
supremacist? And so let me
12:47
read the read the read the read the read. OK, this
12:49
is OK. So here
12:51
is the line of argument from this radical
12:54
who has been pampered by the
12:56
system. Boston Latin Academy,
12:59
Boston Public School Board, Columbia
13:02
University, and now has
13:04
been adding on the various armorial
13:07
protections of intersectionality
13:10
in order to act as a shield against his
13:12
own radicalism. I'm not being attacked because I'm wrong
13:14
or terrible or pro-Khamas or promoting
13:17
actual murder. I'm being attacked because
13:19
I'm gay, trans, queer, non-binary, black, right?
13:21
That's the shtick. We'll get to more on this
13:23
in just a moment. The first $20 barely gets
13:25
you anything these days. You can't even fill your
13:27
gas tank for less than $20. But
13:29
you know what $20 will get you? Well, from
13:31
the cell phone company I use, PureTalk, you can
13:34
get unlimited talk, text, and plenty of 5G data
13:36
for just $20 a month. PureTalk gives you the
13:38
same quality of service as your current cell phone
13:40
provider, but for half the cost. The average family
13:42
saves almost $1,000 a year, all
13:45
with no contracts and no activation fees.
13:47
You can switch to PureTalk and keep the
13:49
phone and phone number you currently use, or you
13:51
can take advantage of their great deals on the
13:53
latest iPhones and Androids, making the switch is incredibly
13:55
easy. Their US customer service team can help you
13:57
join PureTalk in as little as 10 minutes. Choose
14:00
to spend your hard-earned money with a wireless
14:02
company that actually shares your values, supports our
14:04
military and veterans, creates American jobs, and refuses
14:06
to advertise on those fake news networks. Stop
14:08
spending a ridiculous amount of money on your
14:11
phone plan. Head on over to puretalk.com/Shapiro. Right

check them out right
14:24
now. puretalk.com/Shapiro. So
14:26
this person says, this person put out a
14:28
statement saying that he wanted to kill
14:30
Zionists. Not going to come to fight. I'm going to come
14:32
to kill. And then this person
14:35
goes further and says that basically there
14:38
have been justified deaths in history. Among
14:41
the justified deaths, according to Kaimani
14:43
James, are the deaths of Hitler
14:45
and also apparently all the violence of the Haitian Revolution.
14:47
Now, the Haitian Revolution, we should point out at this
14:49
point, was the most violent uprising
14:52
in the
14:54
history of slave uprisings. About
14:57
75,000 white people died during the
14:59
Haitian Revolution, including the mass killing of
15:01
families. So there are a lot of
15:03
problems with the actual activities of the
15:05
Haitian revolutionaries, even
15:07
if you agree with their cause, which I think everyone
15:10
does. But he goes
15:12
further. He then says that
15:14
just like French white people deserve to be
15:16
killed during the Haitian Revolution, just like Hitler
15:19
deserved to die, because Hitler did deserve
15:21
to die, so too do Zionists, who
15:23
are in fact just white supremacists. Now,
15:26
again, this is a nonsensical argument. Zionists
15:29
as white supremacists makes zero sense. First of all,
15:31
you are assuming under this
15:33
rubric that every Jew is
15:35
white, which is not true. Second,
15:37
you are assuming that Jews fit within
15:39
white in the intersectional hierarchy, which
15:42
again is weird since if you're talking
15:44
about historically victimized peoples, the Jews rank
15:47
number one on the list, very, very
15:49
high. You don't have
15:51
to do comparative victimhood though for Jews, because
15:54
again, Jews also are disproportionately successful, which is
15:56
why they're quote unquote white supremacists. The viewpoint
15:58
here that is being promoted. … by
16:00
Kaimani James is that because Jews are disproportionately
16:02
successful, both in the Middle East and in the United
16:04
States, they are white supremacists. …
16:07
And calling for a Jewish state, which is what Zionism is,
16:09
just that the Jews deserve a state just like they are
16:11
Christian states and Muslim states, that is
16:13
a form of white supremacy even though more
16:15
than half of the Jews in Israel are brown. They're
16:18
Mizrachim. They're from Arabic countries.
16:22
In any case, Kaimani James then continues.
16:24
So basically he's making the case that
16:26
every person who is for a
16:28
Jewish state should be killed because
16:30
they're like Hitler or like
16:32
the white people who were killed during the Haitian Revolution. Let
16:35
me be very clear here. I'm
16:37
not saying that I'm going to
16:39
go out and start killing
16:42
Zionists. What
16:44
I'm saying is that
16:46
if an individual who identifies as
16:48
a Zionist threatens
16:51
my physical safety in person,
16:54
i.e. puts their hands on me,
16:57
I am going to defend myself. And
16:59
in that case scenario, it may
17:01
come to a point where I
17:03
don't know when to stop. Does
17:08
that make sense? I understand what
17:10
you're saying. There
17:12
should not be Zionists anywhere.
17:15
Zionists or Nazis? For
17:18
my identity as a black queer woman
17:20
in New York City, obviously if I'm
17:22
on the train and I'm sexually assaulted
17:25
or harassed in some way, like I'm making a nice
17:27
class tonight, right? Doing
17:30
and saying that versus
17:32
saying that you fight to kill and
17:34
you made a comment earlier where you
17:36
stated that you may not know your
17:39
own strengths behind why or you may
17:41
not have the resistance
17:43
to stop, right? That is kind of
17:45
like what I'm taking from what you
17:47
were sharing that it could get to
17:49
that point. Okay, both of
17:51
them have taken a break, everyone. Okay,
17:54
so pause it there. So now, now,
17:56
Kaimani James turns to the camera and is
17:59
talking to his… friends about what he's
18:01
just experienced. So first of all, the person
18:03
interviewing him is a black queer woman. Again,
18:06
the intersectionality here is just like it's
18:08
so strong enough. I understand what you're
18:10
saying. I understand your feelings. First of
18:12
all, this is a person
18:14
who just said Zionists should die and
18:16
do not deserve to exist and
18:19
said that to the administration of Columbia
18:21
who's treating him with kid
18:23
gloves. And
18:25
then having competitive intersectional
18:28
bona fides fights as a
18:30
black queer woman. I understand what you're saying that if someone put
18:32
their hands on me, I might snap them. What?
18:37
But this is what happens when you
18:39
have an entire system built to coddle aggressive
18:41
victims. An entire
18:44
system built to coddle aggressive victims. And
18:46
it continues because Kamani James is live
18:48
streaming this to his friends. By
18:50
the way, still on the campus as
18:52
a student organizer. So were there any repercussions? Apparently
18:54
not. Here's Kamani James. And
19:25
then we need additional information. All
19:27
of our letters are standard. So
19:29
it depends on kind of like everything that you just post
19:32
us and what we just said. Right,
19:46
right, right. Okay then. Well, thank you. No
19:48
problem. A lot of people
19:50
agree that Hitler needed to die in
19:53
order for world
19:55
order to move forward
19:57
in an order to establish some...
20:00
inkling a world piece. And
20:03
so if we can agree
20:05
as a society, as a
20:07
collective, that people,
20:10
that person, some person needs
20:12
to die if they have
20:15
an ideology that
20:17
results in the death
20:20
of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions,
20:22
if there are people like that
20:24
who exist, shouldn't
20:27
they die? Why
20:29
would we want people who
20:31
are supporters of genocide to
20:33
live? I'm confused.
20:38
Okay, that's all we need from this person, along
20:41
with all white supremacists need not to exist. That's
20:43
how I conclude. Zionists, along with all white supremacists,
20:46
need not to exist. So, lie to the administration.
20:48
That was just about a personal conflict if I
20:50
might have a Zionist, which means Jew, obviously.
20:54
But all of them need to not
20:56
exist. This person not only was accepted to
20:58
Columbia, they knew all this beforehand. They
21:00
knew all this beforehand. Khaimani
21:03
James was accepted to Columbia
21:05
after being called into a
21:07
school committee meeting and saying, quote, I
21:10
hate white people in
21:12
2021 and then ended
21:14
up at Columbia. So, when
21:16
you wonder what's going wrong with the
21:18
next generation, understand that people like Khaimani
21:21
James have been pampered. They've been bred
21:23
by an entire ideology that suggests that
21:25
power lies in aggressive statements of victimhood
21:27
that allow you to literally call for
21:30
wiping entire groups of human beings off
21:32
the planet Earth based on ideology. That
21:36
is—that's what these
21:38
protesters are. That's what they are. And the reason I
21:41
spend so much time with this person is because it's
21:43
indicative of something broader and deeper. Thank
21:50
you. you

26:53
people try to box in what's happening on these college
26:56
campuses, well, it's just about the Moser. It's just about
26:58
Israel. No, it's not. It's about the West. Do you
27:00
want the future of the West to look like this?
27:03
Do you want it to look like a bunch of mewling
27:05
children who have been pampered
27:07
by the system, have been given every
27:10
opportunity by the system, and then wish to tear
27:12
that system down in the name of
27:14
some sort of transgressive value cult? People
27:18
with murderous intent toward
27:20
people of other groups like whites and Jews?
27:24
Does that seem like the kind of
27:26
future you want to build here? And
27:28
why precisely is the administration humoring
27:31
all of this? Why
27:33
is the administration humoring all of this? And the
27:35
answer is the administration is humoring all of this
27:37
because the administration at a root level agrees with
27:39
all of this. They do not like the system
27:41
that they themselves are purveying. This
27:44
is what happens when the revolutionaries end up
27:46
running the system. The next
27:49
revolutionaries eat them. The revolution always eats
27:51
its own. Remember, every administrator, every college
27:53
president in the country right now, this
27:55
huge swath of them, these are all people who came
27:58
up during the 60s and 70s. when
28:00
all of the good classical liberals were thrown out
28:02
and the wild leftists came in. And now they
28:04
don't know what to do with the next generation
28:07
of wild leftists. And so they're allowing the wild
28:09
leftists to basically run the campus. So
28:11
for example, USC has now canceled
28:13
its main commencement ceremony after protests
28:15
and arrests. According to Axios,
28:18
USC is the first known major university
28:20
to cancel a graduation ceremony over the
28:22
demonstrations, potentially opening the door for other
28:24
schools of campus protests to follow suit.
28:27
The main ceremony usually brings 65,000 people to
28:29
USC. But
28:32
they're freaked out because they are deeply afraid
28:34
that many of their own students are going
28:36
to cause trouble. Meanwhile,
28:39
at Northwestern University, faculty,
28:41
according to Guy Benson, are allowing people
28:43
to miss classes to attend the Hamas
28:45
Solidarity Rally and Encampment that the university
28:47
has clearly stated violates policy and is
28:49
not permitted. One class
28:51
has actually been moved to the site of
28:53
the illegal protest. Meanwhile,
28:57
the authorities are arresting some people
29:00
across the country, but certainly not enough.
29:02
In red states, these things are not continuing because in
29:05
red states, it turns out that the government is in
29:07
fact stepping in and arresting people who are violating the
29:09
law. And if they keep violating the law, they will
29:11
keep getting arrested. It
29:13
is only in blue states where
29:16
they continue to foster flag burning,
29:18
pro-Khamas, pro-Khisbala, anti-Western radicals taking over
29:20
these campuses and then they negotiate
29:22
with them. And
29:24
here's the thing. Joe Biden is going to continue to
29:26
allow all of this to happen. So Republicans have been
29:28
calling for a cut to federal funding for universities that
29:30
allow for the violation of Title VI of the Civil
29:33
Rights Act, which is
29:35
in fact the proper response by the federal
29:37
government to universities violating federal law. Now again,
29:39
you want to argue with the content of
29:41
the Civil Rights Act with regard to what
29:43
sort of speech is protected on campus
29:46
and all the rest? Those are arguments I can hear. You want
29:48
to argue that it doesn't apply to Jews, but it does apply
29:50
to every other group? Now I think that you
29:52
are a hypocrite and a liar. So
29:55
Joe Biden is not going to cut funding. Why? Because
29:57
he's attempting to buy off all these young voters. He
30:00
wants their votes. He wants Kaimani James to vote
30:02
for him, and all he's going
30:04
to have to do is keep bending over. He's going to
30:06
have to keep bending over backwards for Kaimani James and the
30:08
rest because they have no
30:10
endpoint. There is no point at which the revolution
30:12
is actually achieved. According
30:15
to Politico, there are
30:17
a few bars that you have to pass in order
30:19
to get the federal funding out of these universities. First,
30:22
an investigation from the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights.
30:26
That can take a while, but there's no reason it has
30:28
to take a while. Also,
30:30
anti-Semitism has not been defined under civil
30:32
rights law in the same way that,
30:34
for example, anti-Black activity has. But if
30:37
you are
30:40
shouting about the Yehud, that's a pretty
30:42
good indicator that anti-Semitism is being engaged in.
30:46
Again, in an environment of anti-Semitism has
30:48
clearly been created on campuses like Columbia
30:50
University. And Joe Biden has
30:53
refused to even consider the possibility about
30:55
pulling funds. The
30:58
White House say they are closely monitoring the campus
31:00
protests unfolding. Bates
31:02
says while every American – Zandru Bates, the spokesperson
31:04
for the White House – while
31:06
every American has the right to peaceful protests, calls
31:08
for violence and physical intimidation targeting Jewish students in
31:11
the Jewish community are blatantly anti-Semitic, unconscionable, and dangerous.
31:13
They have no place on any college campus or
31:15
anywhere in the United States of America. Yeah, but
31:17
you're not doing anything about it, I noticed. And
31:20
the reason they're not doing anything about it, they want the votes. They
31:22
want the radicals. Donald Trump is right
31:24
about this. Donald Trump says, listen, people all
31:26
over the world are laughing at us, and
31:28
that is correct. Joe Biden is a weakling.
31:30
He can't even stop these screaming teenagers
31:35
from intimidating Jewish students on
31:37
campus and waving
31:39
Hamas flags. Here's President Trump
31:41
correctly calling out the Biden administration. They
31:50
are more police here than they are. And I call on
31:52
New York fighters because that's what they are. And
31:54
they don't want to be doing this here. They're
31:56
going to be spreading young conditions.
32:00
Okay, and then Trump went on
32:02
to say that Joe Biden made
32:05
a huge deal out of
32:07
Charlottesville, which
32:21
he did. He said Charlottesville was nothing
32:23
compared to this. By the way,
32:25
he's right. Statistically speaking, he is correct.
32:27
We are talking about tens of thousands
32:29
of students all across the country who
32:32
are engaged in pro-Kamash rallies, waving Chizbala
32:34
and Kamash flags, as opposed
32:36
to a couple of hundred morons at the Unite
32:38
the Rally, Unite the Right rally. That
32:40
was the White Supremacist rally in Charlottesville in 2017. Introducing

33:29
statement on Truth Social saying, crooked Joe Biden would say
33:31
constantly that he ran because of Charlottesville. Well,
33:33
if that's the case, he's done a really terrible job
33:35
because Charlottesville is like a peanut compared to the riots
33:38
and anti-Israel protests happening all over our country right now.
33:41
And it's crooked Joe's fault because he sends the wrong message
33:43
every single time. The fact is that crooked Joe Biden hates
33:45
Israel and hates the Jewish people. The problem is that he
33:47
hates the Palestinians even more, and he just doesn't know what
33:49
to do. Well,
33:52
that last part is discombobulated. I'm not
33:54
sure exactly what he means by that. What
33:56
is clear, however, is that Joe Biden is weak in the
33:58
face of all of this. … because he is
34:00
in fact unbelievably weak in the face of all
34:03
this. So the White House then blasted Trump for
34:05
saying that Charlottesville was peanuts compared to this. But
34:08
the White House won't even make clear statements. Joe
34:10
Biden has made one statement so far, and in
34:13
that statement he has condemned the
34:16
anti-Semitic activities on campus and also condemned
34:18
people who don't understand the plight of
34:20
the Palestinians, which is both sidesing it
34:22
if ever there was some. Meanwhile,
34:25
they've deployed the second gentleman,
34:28
Douglas M. Hough, the only Jew
34:30
they could find, to
34:32
go speak with the Columbia University Hillel
34:34
director along with an Orthodox rabbi affiliated
34:36
with the school. He
34:38
called up the Hillel director Brian Cohen, an
34:41
Orthodox Union Jedi Sea rabbi, Ellie Bucklar. And
34:44
he recognized that while every American has the right to
34:46
freedom of speech and to protest peacefully, hate speech and
34:48
calls for violence against Jews is both anti-Semitic and
34:50
unacceptable. It wasn't Joe
34:52
Biden who called. It wasn't Kamala Harris who
34:55
called. It was Kamala Harris' husband
34:57
who shows up for asinine announcements
34:59
of Al-Khanukah every year. That's
35:03
the official Jewish emissary, the
35:05
envoy to the college
35:08
kids who are Jewish and who are being intimidated
35:10
off of campus. By the way, it's such –
35:12
here's the thing. Joe Biden and his campaign, they're
35:14
morons. How many points that could ruin
35:16
the American people for saying people who burn American flags
35:18
and flakhamas flags and shout from the river to the
35:20
sea Palestine that shall be free and
35:22
shout about the killing of Jews, that those people are disgusting and
35:24
we don't want their votes, you know how many more votes you
35:26
would win by doing that? Young
35:29
people don't even care about this. There's
35:31
a new poll out from the Harvard Youth Poll, 2024, 18 to
35:33
29-year-olds. And
35:36
here is what it finds. By issue, what
35:39
are the issues that people actually care about? The
35:42
major issues facing America, which is most
35:44
important, at the very bottom of
35:46
the heap of all the issues, number
35:48
16 of 16 is student debt, which Joe Biden has
35:50
been trying to push out there. He's been saying, I'm
35:52
going to alleviate all your student debt. Now all the
35:54
youngs will vote for me. They don't care. They don't
35:56
care. By the way, you want to know why they
35:58
don't care about their students. student debt, the student
36:01
debt is racking up at a 0.07% interest rate. I
36:04
mean, like the interest rates on FAFSA loans are really,
36:06
really, really low. Compared to other loans, that
36:08
is not... And people are paying like 50 bucks a month to
36:11
pay back their student loans. But put that
36:13
aside. The second to last issue on the
36:15
list of concerns for 18 to 29 year
36:18
olds, according to this Harvard Youth Poll, Israel,
36:20
Palestine, only 34% of
36:23
these people call this a major issue. Only
36:28
34% among Democrats, only 37%. It
36:34
is nearly last on the list, and
36:36
that is where Joe Biden is putting his focus
36:38
because he has been completely captured by his idiot
36:40
aides. Meanwhile, by the
36:42
way, it should be worthwhile noting here that
36:45
there is in fact a conflict in the Middle East
36:47
in which Israel is in fact correct and Hamas is
36:49
in fact wrong. But again, because Joe Biden wants
36:51
to win those Dearborn Michigan voters, he keeps
36:53
trying to both sides it, despite
36:55
the fact that apparently yesterday, remember,
36:57
the United States is idiotically in
37:00
asinine fashion now trying to build a
37:02
humanitarian aid pier in the Mediterranean. So
37:06
what happened yesterday? Apparently
37:08
terrorists in the Gaza Strip then
37:10
launched mortars at it. Remember,
37:13
the claim is that Israel won't allow the aid
37:15
into Gaza. That's not true. Israel has
37:17
been allowing hundreds of trucks of aid into the Gaza
37:20
Strip every day for months. But
37:23
now they are literally... Hamas
37:25
is literally firing mortars at the humanitarian
37:27
aid pier because they want the human
37:29
suffering. They want the Palestinians to suffer
37:31
specifically. So idiots on the left will
37:33
continue to pretend that it's Israel doing
37:35
it. UN
37:38
officials were touring the site with Israeli troops at
37:40
the time and they had to be rushed to
37:42
a shelter by the Israeli troops. So once again,
37:44
the Israelis protecting the UN and firing
37:46
at the UN and the UN
37:48
targeting the Israelis. Meanwhile, the International Criminal
37:51
Court, which is just a wretched hive
37:53
of scum and villainy. And again, the ICC is
37:56
a pseudo court set up by
37:58
the United Nations. That supposedly has the
38:00
power of international law behind it. But really
38:03
what it is, is it's just a bunch
38:05
of far left and
38:07
evil states that combine to target whomever they
38:09
seek to target in the ICC. It has
38:11
no real enforcement power unless you can get
38:13
another one of the states, particularly in Europe,
38:15
to enforce the rulings of the ICC. They're
38:17
now attempting to bring individual cases against the
38:20
Israeli Prime Minister, the Israeli Defense Minister, and
38:22
the head of the Israeli army. So
38:25
they're literally criminalizing the existence of the state
38:27
of Israel at the international criminal courts.
38:30
The United States should pull its money forthwith. The ICC has always
38:32
been a stupid idea just like the UN. Both
38:34
the ICC and the UN ought to be disbanded.
38:36
The United States ought to pull all funding from
38:38
both of the US organizations because they are in
38:40
fact trash. By the way, how do we know
38:42
they're trash? The United States won't even make itself
38:44
subject to the ICC. The United States has laws
38:46
on the books that prevent its military from being dragged
38:49
into the ICC. Why? Because
38:51
we're afraid that our generals are going to
38:53
get called in to the ICC and then
38:55
arrested. So why the hell are we
38:57
funding an organization like that? Okay, in just
38:59
one second, we'll get to a
39:01
possible win at the Supreme Court for the President of the
39:03
United States. First, as you can
39:05
tell, I'm on the road right now. The last time I
39:07
had to hold up a picture of our leftist here's tumbler
39:09
and school producer's act for not remembering to bring it. Well,
39:13
he snapped into action. He drove all the way back to
39:15
our office to get the tumbler. You can see it. It's
39:17
now here in person.
39:20
Well, he's still screwed it up. He's not bringing
39:22
the correct black leftist here's tumbler. So here's
39:25
the one that we actually should
39:27
have had. That's the one that we're talking
39:29
about right here. So nice
39:31

40:04
Sunday, RFK Jr. stops by
40:07
the Sunday special fascinating conversation, a lot
40:09
to talk about. It
40:11
gets really colorful. We get into a lot of
40:13
topics, some of them pretty fraught. Really
40:16
interesting person, RFK Jr., currently polling the best
40:18
of any third-party candidates since Rossboro. Check
40:21
out some of the trailer. I
40:23
believe that every abortion is
40:25
a tragedy at one level or another.
40:27
It's not just a tragedy, it's a
40:30
crime against the child because the child
40:32
has an independent interest. What do you
40:34
say to that? The solution
40:36
of having the state come in and
40:40
dictate choices that the
40:42
woman is making is not a good
40:44
solution to be able to move around.
40:48
You don't believe that the child has an independent right
40:50
to life, for example, at any point during the pregnancy?
40:53
You and I are all different on that.
40:55
That's just a bad place where I'm different.
40:57
I understand your position. I have tremendous respect
40:59
for you for
41:02
having that kind of
41:06
absolute moral clarity on that position. But
41:09
I think it's more nuanced
41:12
and complex than that. Again,
41:20
check that out. On Sunday, you can get it Saturday. If
41:23
you are an all-access member, you can get it a little
41:25
bit early. It is a fantastic, fantastic episode. Go check it
41:27
out right now. Meanwhile, Democrats were hoping
41:29
that Jack Smith's January 6th case was going
41:31
to take Trump out of contention for the
41:33
presidency, that they get a
41:35
conviction really quick up in Washington, D.C. And
41:38
this would allow Donald Trump to be convicted
41:40
federally, and then he would be in a
41:42
federal prison for the election. He
41:44
still has a state trial going on in New York over this dumb hush
41:46
money case. It really is not a hush money case.
41:48
It really is just about 2016. Because again, hush
41:51
money is actually not illegal. In the United States, people
41:53
pay hush money all the time. The
41:55
real question is whether he changed the outcome
41:57
of the 2016 election in 2016. illegally
42:01
by paying hush money to a couple of
42:03
ladies he had allegedly stepped. Okay,
42:05
so that case is still ongoing. But the
42:08
other case that's very dangerous for him obviously is the
42:10
January 6th case. Well, Jack
42:12
Smith has brought this case, and
42:14
the Trump defense suggested that
42:16
Trump has presidential immunity for
42:19
his activities leading up to and on
42:21
January 6th. And the argument
42:23
basically is you can't prosecute a president after he
42:26
leaves office because if you prosecute a president after
42:28
he leaves office, then you can prosecute
42:30
him for literally anything. There are
42:32
many circumstances in which a president does something, and
42:34
if you were not the president, it
42:36
could have legal ramifications. And
42:38
if you just start prosecuting presidents post-presidency for
42:40
things they did while they were president, well,
42:43
then you're going to create a horrible
42:46
set of intensive structures. Number
42:48
one, the president won't be able to do things he actually
42:50
does need to do. Number two, the president's never going to
42:53
want to not be president. He's not going to give up
42:55
that power very easily. The
42:57
argument that was made by Jack Smith and company is
42:59
that there is no presidential immunity. Now,
43:01
where the Supreme Court is likely to land on
43:03
this case is there is some form of presidential
43:06
immunity, but only for actions within the scope of
43:08
presidential duty. And
43:10
if you're talking about things that are outside the scope of
43:12
presidential duty, then you could theoretically
43:14
be prosecuted post-presidency for
43:17
all of that. Like Richard Nixon could have been
43:19
prosecuted post-presidency, which is why he needed a pardon,
43:21
after Watergate, for example, because that was done outside
43:23
the scope of presidential duty. I
43:26
have a feeling that's where the Supreme Court is going to
43:28
land, but it's going to take months for the Supreme Court
43:30
to rule on this case. And that may take us
43:32
past the election, thereby taking this January 6th case
43:34
off the table. According to The New York Times,
43:37
the Supreme Court's conservative majority appeared ready on
43:40
Thursday to rule that former presidents do have
43:42
some degree of immunity from criminal prosecution, a
43:44
move that could further delay the criminal charge
43:46
against Trump on charges he planned to subvert
43:48
the 2020 election. Such
43:51
a ruling would likely send the case back to the trial
43:53
court ordering it to draw distinctions between official and private conduct,
43:55
which, by the way, is the proper and correct answer, and
43:57
you can see why. So, for
43:59
example, Oh. Does the Samuel
44:01
Alito was the second best. Justice and forensic.
44:04
Scientists. He. Says it's the
44:06
president doesn't have immunity. Then.
44:08
Won't have a problem president
44:11
never wanting to leave office.
44:13
I'm sure you would agree
44:15
with me that a stable
44:17
democratic society requires that a
44:19
candidate who loses some election,
44:21
even a close one, even
44:23
a hotly contested one, leave
44:26
office peacefully if that's how
44:28
diseases is the incumbent, of
44:30
course. all right now. Is
44:33
A and incumbents
44:35
who. Loses
44:38
a very close, hotly
44:40
contested election knows that
44:42
a real possibility. After
44:45
leaving office is not an
44:47
the president is gonna be
44:50
able to go off into
44:52
a peaceful retirement. but that's
44:54
a president may be from
44:56
only prosecuted by a bitter
44:58
political opponent. Will that not
45:00
lead us into a cycle
45:02
that. Destabilizes the functioning
45:05
of our country as a
45:07
democracy. A leader than
45:09
made another argument which was well if they're
45:11
now going to basically said the president's can
45:13
be prosecuted for anything it did while they
45:15
president. Wouldn't. I mean, for example, that
45:17
Str could have been prosecuted post World War two
45:19
from and of the actions that heat up during
45:22
World War. And. Just financially suggests.
45:24
The. Suggests there were no presidential immunity at all.
45:26
That is what the predictable result would be. You,
45:29
Mister Sour and others have
45:32
identified events in the past
45:34
where Presidents have engaged in
45:36
conduct that might have been
45:39
charged as crimes and use
45:41
you say? Well, no, that's
45:43
not really true. President
45:49
Franklin Roosevelt decision to
45:51
internship. Couldn't.
45:54
That have been charged under
45:57
eighteen you see to forty
45:59
one spear. The Against Civil
46:01
Rights Today Yes Given this
46:03
court's decision in Trump vs
46:05
United States in which are
46:07
them up and give Trump
46:09
or says why excuse me
46:12
where the court said core
46:14
amounts who was overruled. But.
46:17
That is the me a problem. In.
46:20
A on the other side of yeah obviously you
46:22
do not want the presidents have a complete immunity
46:24
for any my Jews presidents of resemblance to the
46:26
present or the assassination of political rival as can
46:28
be a problem. So Justice Sonia Sotomayor she asked
46:30
that question. She said well as the president decides
46:32
that his rivals grumps and wants military to kill
46:34
him that he just do them and be immune.
46:36
For. That. Now I
46:39
see. What?
46:41
And then you're dancers
46:43
blue under the give
46:45
you a chance to
46:48
see As you say
46:50
by this is the
46:52
President decides that his
46:54
rival is a corrupt
46:56
person. As
46:58
he orders the military for
47:01
orders someone to assassinate him
47:03
is that with his his
47:05
official act for would cease.
47:08
Can get communities it would depend on I
47:10
ever thought about. We can see that could
47:12
well be an official. I could and why
47:14
he says he's doing it for personal reasons,
47:17
not pursuing his. At
47:19
the like President Obama is alleged
47:21
to have done it to protect
47:23
the country from a terrorists is
47:25
suing is for personal gain. A.
47:29
So again I think that were these reporters
47:31
like would come down on as they are
47:33
likely to send this best way lower gore
47:35
and say no there's no such thing as
47:37
know presidential immunity but we need make clear
47:39
what exactly the rules of presidential immunity are
47:41
which by the way is is the proper
47:43
response but on a formal level What this
47:45
means that the January six cases and get
47:48
kicked beyond the election which is in fact
47:50
a legal when for president from meanwhile the
47:52
economy is actually going the wrong way for
47:54
President Biden. according to the
47:56
wall street journal the dream of a fad rate
47:58
cut is slipping away There was
48:00
an economic report on Thursday. That
48:02
economic report came in very weak. It
48:05
showed a 1.6% GDP
48:07
growth in the first quarter of the year,
48:10
much weaker than expected. Not
48:12
only that, inflation continues
48:14
to accelerate. The annualized
48:16
GDP chain price, measuring how much prices have gone up
48:19
or down in the economy, helping
48:21
to track inflation actually jumped up to 3.1% from 1.6%. We're
48:26
trying to see renewed inflation and worse economic
48:28
growth, which is precisely what you'd expect to
48:30
see from the overspending economy. Joe
48:33
Biden has poured too much money into this economy. Everybody
48:35
knows it at this point. J.P. Morgan,
48:37
CEO Jamie Dimon, he says, there
48:40
are long odds now for a soft landing. That is
48:42
correct. If there's a recession, by the way, before the
48:44
election, Joe Biden is clearly not going to be
48:46
reelected. You yourself sound quite glum
48:48
in that. Can you tell us a bit more about why
48:50
that is? I'm not looking at a year.
48:52
I'm not making a forecast. I'm trying to say, what
48:54
are the range of possible outcomes? Last
48:57
year and this year, I would put out the same issues. Huge
49:00
amount of fiscal deficit, huge amount of
49:02
QE, a lot of things in the
49:04
future inflationary, the green economy, the remilitarization
49:06
of the world, obviously the deficits, which
49:08
basically aren't going to go away as
49:10
far as I can see, and geopolitics.
49:13
All that puts me on the side of question that things
49:15
may not go as well as people expect. The
49:18
odds of a soft landing, the market kind of prices
49:20
in 70 percent, I think it's half of
49:22
that. As a business person, I try to be prepared
49:24
for all of that. It's just a little cautious. Again,
49:27
Joe Biden has run this economy really, really badly. Everybody
49:30
knows it at this point. It's the reason why he's
49:32
still struggling in all of the polls. We
49:47
make it even better with a delicious medium
49:49
iced coffee. With McDonald's mix and match, you
49:51
can't go wrong. Price and participation
49:53
may vary, cannot be combined with any other
49:55
offer or combo meal. Single item at regular
49:58
price. Well
50:00
folks, it is a Friday, you know what
50:02
that means. It's time to deconstruct some culture.
50:04
So let's jump right in. Let me
50:06
remind you by the way, that we do have a 47
50:08
minute review. It's a thing
50:10
that I did. I listened to the entire Taylor Swift
50:12
album. It's two hours long. So our 47
50:15
minute review, you can watch it almost three times and
50:17
still spend about as much time as you would spend
50:19
listening to Taylor Swift's latest album.
50:21
Go check that out over at the
50:23
YouTube. But also, Coachella just
50:25
ended. I know, I know it's sad. We all wait
50:27
for it every year. Well
50:29
now that Coachella has ended, it's second week,
50:32
has come to a close just last weekend.
50:34
Our Instagram timelines can finally be cleansed of
50:36
a style that one can only call
50:39
Hohemian. Style is usually
50:41
front and center for the music festival. More
50:43
important than the mostly horrible music from
50:46
bands that are largely irrelevant. But this
50:48
year, the cut has quite a take
50:50
on the outfit scene in Coachella Valley.
50:53
Our Coachella outfits becoming too normal.
50:55
That was their headline. I
50:58
was getting somewhat excited for this headline. Listen,
51:01
I don't wanna see Vanessa Hudgens dressing
51:03
up as a bush or something and
51:05
pretending to dress. I've assumed that
51:08
most Coachella goers just walk into Urban Outfitters
51:10
preparing and ask, sell me something that makes
51:12
me look like a dirty homeless person. So
51:14
I clicked the headline and looked to see if the outfits were
51:17
too normal. And here are some of
51:19
the actual photos that accompany the
51:21
piece. Yes, gang, that's
51:24
too normal. I
51:26
mean, this looks like pretty much business
51:28
attire, right? And we can all
51:30
guess the business. Here's
51:32
another normal look. If
51:34
you're trying to find the women from Hocus Pocus
51:36
and Rodeo, where
51:41
exactly is the normal? I'm missing it. This
51:43
one is a little bit more normal. Looks
51:46
like Dums of Anarchy.
51:49
It's a good look there. Like, so
51:51
normal, so much normality. All these people are
51:54
gonna be applying for her jobs at PricewaterhouseCooper
51:56
soon. Well, I
51:59
figured already out. I'm what I'm planning
52:01
on wearing to Coachella. Here's my Coachella normal
52:03
look. Yep.
52:05
Although I would never wear New York
52:08
Yankees hat. And meanwhile, a
52:11
source has revealed to us weekly in their
52:13
newest issue that Megan Fox is currently reevaluating
52:15
her relationship with Machine Gun Kelly, which
52:19
is interesting because I never evaluated it in the
52:21
first place. I don't know if this couple can't
52:23
make it. Can anyone? Machine
52:25
Gun Kelly and Megan Fox. I thought
52:28
it was forever. I thought it was cosmic
52:30
love. The source
52:32
reported it was getting toxic between
52:34
them. Wait, no, stop. I don't
52:36
believe it. That they've been fighting
52:38
a lot. Wait, wait, you're telling me that Megan
52:40
Fox and a guy whose name is Machine Gun
52:42
Kelly, they're fighting a lot? Wow.
52:47
If only he had been named Peace Kelly or
52:49
something. She reportedly has told
52:51
Machine Gun Kelly she wants some space to rethink
52:53
her decisions, which is a good
52:55
idea because it appears that Machine Gun Kelly also
52:57
has some things to rethink. That's
53:01
not a tattoo, man. That's a skin disease.
53:04
Did he walk into the tattoo shop and just say, give
53:06
me the venom? I
53:09
know that being a white rapper can be difficult. I know
53:11
I've been there. It's a rough ride. But
53:14
I'm not sure about this strategy for
53:16
avoiding the stigma. I'm
53:19
also curious about like so many
53:21
elements of what went into the
53:23
thinking here. And first of all, if
53:26
he went all the way up his face,
53:28
then he's Justin Trudeau, right? But also, apparently,
53:30
if you look at this tattoo more closely,
53:32
I don't know why you would, but we're going to, if
53:35
you did, you would see that there is
53:37
a crouching homeless person in
53:39
the tattoo with a
53:41
sign that reads, I want
53:43
change on
53:46
his torso. I
53:48
mean, I guess that's one way to get what you
53:50
need at the supermarket. You go into the
53:52
supermarket, give him a 20. I
53:57
need change. Also, I
54:01
mean, maybe he's worried about the cost of the
54:03
breakup. The only good news about this tattoo is
54:05
I suppose that you save money on clothing. Meanwhile,
54:10
everyone's favorite rapping Hitler fan is
54:12
back in the news. Kanye West,
54:14
professionally known as Yeezy or Yay
54:17
or Please Make This Stop, has
54:20
decided to expand his empire into more than
54:22
just underwhelming new music and overrated shoes. He
54:25
is now jumping into the world of adult
54:27
entertainment. I mean,
54:29
he was married to Kim Kardashian, so I guess
54:31
back into the world of adult entertainment, Yay has
54:33
confirmed reports he is setting up his very own
54:36
pornography studio, which makes sense. One
54:39
of the best strategies in business is vertical integration. Since
54:41
he's been showing pornography to his
54:43
various advertising partners, he wants to
54:46
make the thing that he also
54:48
distributes. He's tired of just
54:50
making his wives look like porn stars. It
54:52
appears he is now going to work with actual
54:54
professionals. He is supposedly teaming up
54:56
with, of all people, Stormy Daniels' ex-husband
54:59
to build out this division of
55:01
his brand. I mean, those
55:04
are a couple of marriages that have really been
55:07
solid in every
55:09
– really, like Stormy Daniels and her husband, Kanye
55:11
and Kim. Why don't
55:13
these relationships last forever? So Kanye
55:15
has gone from making music that's postponed for months to
55:17
making videos you'll be done with in seconds,
55:20
depending on who you are. Yay. We all
55:22
know how this is going to end. Just look between
55:24
the K and semicolon on your keyboard. That's what you're
55:26
going to end up in this one. It's
55:28
an L because of that meme on
55:31
Twitter. I miss the old Kanye man
55:34
when his wife was just an
55:36
amateur porn star. Speaking
55:38
of letters between your keyboard, there's a new segment
55:41
called The Ex-Files. Okay,
55:53
folks, so there is a new trend
55:55
on Twitter, according to Business Insider. The
55:58
Trend urges users to look between certain
56:00
people. letters on your keyboard. Apparently
56:03
this originated with a post on
56:05
fourteen. Including a picture of
56:07
we. Hear us our the main character
56:10
A popular Enemies Years. Meant. That
56:12
there's so many words here in a road I don't
56:14
care about. I. Don't even know to do
56:16
with myself how little I care about this. Along
56:18
with the caption look between at Sea
56:21
and oh on your keyboard yielding the
56:23
characters first name. Apparently.
56:27
People keep doing this now so people are
56:29
sweetie I things like cheaters will tell you.
56:32
They love you and then their actions tell you to
56:34
love between H and L on your keyboard. Because
56:36
it's J. K. The.
56:39
New England Patriots says once you know who
56:42
are drafting a look between age and l.
56:44
On your keyboard. Again,
56:47
Jk. But.
56:49
Others have ab de sac. Wow
56:51
This is this. What a stunning,
56:53
Absolutely stunning. Friend.
56:56
So. Intelligent live between. Why? An eye on
56:59
your keyboard? That's all I want. It's the letter
57:01
u. My home he
57:03
says sucked by my side of between our and
57:05
you. On the keyboard because
57:07
he why. Thank. You. Well.
57:12
If. You want to know what I think about
57:14
all of this? Look between
57:16
D and G on your keyboard. His.
57:21
Ass. I. Hate all
57:23
of this. I had all these stupid. All
57:26
this is dumb. You're not clever, You're just stupid.
57:28
You. Realize how we degraded Zied. We.
57:32
Actually went from. writing hieroglyphics
57:34
on a wall to human words.
57:38
To. Actual. Plays.
57:40
Of Shakespeare. And. Now
57:42
we are back at Moody's. And.
57:44
Now we are losing the ability to speak
57:47
language. So.
57:49
That the so what! What a great friend! I'm so glad
57:51
that we're. Yes,
57:54
our societies are as everything that I
57:56
guess probably. In other twitter
57:58
news apparently fan. Do you remember
58:00
him? He used to be a fake
58:02
reporter for one of the big news networks, and
58:05
he spent pretty much every waking moment saying dumb
58:07
stuff. Well, now he and his friends
58:09
have apparently bought and
58:12
run The Onion. They announced
58:14
this on Twitter. What's funny about all of
58:16
that is that he very famously, with all
58:19
of his friends, left Twitter for
58:21
another site called Mastodon that
58:23
lasted for five seconds, and now he is back
58:25
on Twitter announcing it as one
58:27
would after being a giant failure. He
58:30
also happens to be the world's most unfunny human being.
58:35
So credit to McGill's for this
58:37
fake Onion headline. Man with no
58:39
sense of humor inadvertently does the
58:41
funniest thing. That's pretty much it. I'm
58:45
going to put it out there. Maybe the Babylon
58:48
Bee actually did this, and they are pretending right
58:50
now to be Ben Collins. That is the only
58:52
explanation. Alrighty, guys. The rest of the show
58:54
is continuing right now. We'll be joined on the line by
