Time for a quick break to talk about

0:02

McDonald's. Mornings are for mixing and matching at

0:04

McDonald's. For just $3, mix and match two

0:07

of your favorite breakfast items, including a

0:09

sausage McMuffin. Well,

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

8:17

on the go. Secure your online

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

14:13

now, my listeners can get an additional 50%

14:16

off their very first

14:18

month of coverage. That's

14:20

puretalk.com/Shapiro. Again, puretalk.com/Shapiro. Go

14:22

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

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
