The Fed has dropped interest rates, Gerald Ford is back in the news, and we have a special guest on the show to talk about the worst late-night TV moment of all time. Plus, the latest on the latest in American Financing and Gerald's divorce from his wife.
00:03:50.000What do you mean by the unbearable whiteness of insert here?
00:03:53.000We'll go through about 200 articles on today's show.
00:03:57.000200 anti-white articles in mainstream publications.
00:04:00.000Colbert is obviously awful, and he's lying about the FCC.
00:04:04.000He's lying about the equal time rules.
00:04:06.000He's lying about Donald Trump trying to silence him.
00:04:09.000And Mamdani wants to frame this as socialism, the champion of the people.
00:04:14.000It's billionaires versus the people, when really it's socialism and leftism being used to buy votes with the American-ish, the New York City taxpayer's dollar.
00:14:23.000This is going to be an installment of we're saying the same thing.
00:14:26.000And I will tell you, I have migrated further to the right on this issue.
00:14:31.000Not really in any policy sense, but you can only be vilified for so long for an immutable characteristic, being white, where they use that as the attack method until you defend it and go, like, well, hold on a second.
00:14:46.000It's like, it's not that, like, there's nothing that bad about being white.
00:18:58.000The worst part is he shouldn't have been put in that situation because it wasn't the first time.
00:19:02.000it's even worse when you see what happened to poor chris o'donnell's parents he just don't go climbing with chris o'donnell It's not supposed to be that funny.
00:19:56.000And then there's a whole subcategory, going back to the actual point here, of articles that my team here was able to find along this theme of, and it's a constant theme, the unbearable whiteness of, and then insert, basically completely inconsequential category here.
00:20:14.000The unbearable whiteness of advocacy, which is weird because you kind of need the majority of the population to advocate for minority populations, but I guess you don't, that's kind of the whole sit down and shut up, but then silence is violence.
00:20:28.000There's the unbearable whiteness of being in nursing, the unbearable whiteness of San Francisco.
00:21:37.000I am responding to you saying the whiteness of Vermont, the whiteness of oat milk, the unbearable whiteness of advocacy, the unbearable whiteness of being in nursing, the unbearable whiteness of being.
00:21:50.000The only qualifier that you are offering up as a negative is whiteness.
00:21:57.000Isn't it incumbent upon you to explain to me, you didn't just say, ah, there are some pros and cons.
00:22:04.000You said that our immutable characteristic, whiteness, is unbearable.
00:22:13.000You must do something to solve the problem.
00:22:15.000So which part of whiteness is unbearable?
00:22:19.000All I'm saying is I don't think it's completely unbearable.
00:22:22.000For proof, see all the societies of largely white Europeans who brought us into modern civilization that allows you to create a substack bitching about white people.
00:22:30.000Like, you know, we treat our dogs well.
00:22:32.000We'll get to the dog market meat market festival in Africa later.
00:22:38.000Like, that's kind of a notable white thing.
00:22:40.000I mean, this value that we place on technological advancement, on ingenuity, on subduing the earth.
00:22:48.000You know, I would say that if you look at whiteness, since you say whiteness, if you separate the whiteness of the United States from the non-whiteness, we have the most educated people, the best schooling.
00:23:00.000We have some of the lowest crime rates.
00:23:01.000We have some of the highest life expectancy rates.
00:23:03.000We have the best medical interventions.
00:23:05.000If we separate it by your qualifier of unbearable, I go, I think it's kind of bearable.
00:23:11.000I think it's definitely bearable, and everybody's benefiting from it.
00:23:14.000I understand that there was a white pride flight because it got taken too far.
00:23:35.000But if listen, if every other race can go like, well, this immutable characteristic with zero productive results behind it can be, I can be proud of that, then certainly white people can be proud of who they are as well.
00:23:46.000And like you said, the European, this has brought the modern world.
00:24:18.000The problem with Detroit's blackness, why Coca-Cola is too black and one brand is determined to change it.
00:24:30.000The tar pits are too black, and it's time to change that.
00:24:33.000Let me just go to the unbearable blackness of complaining, the unbearable blackness of being in nursing, the unbearable blackness of Oakland, the unbearable blackness of being.
00:24:45.000And by the way, that would be a terrible thing to say.
00:24:48.000It would be a horrible sweeping generalization.
00:24:50.000But there are some negatives to black American culture that we can acknowledge.
00:24:55.000Hopefully crime statistics aren't still considered racist on YouTube and a bannable offense.
00:24:59.000But there are also some good things that I like about the culture.
00:25:03.000I certainly wouldn't say that blackness in and of itself is unbearable.
00:25:16.000Okay, explain to me why, how it is not racism, how the phrase the unbearable whiteness of being, even just really bad, why Vermont is too white.
00:25:51.000You need to look at it and go, okay, we have a problem.
00:25:53.000This milk is too white coming from the oat.
00:25:56.000So we need to, in a lab, artificially create another milk that we convince people is healthier than just drinking whole cow's milk or goat's milk.
00:26:02.000And we need to somehow find a way to eliminate the whiteness.
00:26:05.000You would have to target the whiteness of the milk.
00:26:08.000You'd have to do the same thing with the state of Vermont.
00:26:11.000You would have to target the whiteness, which is the problem that is unbearable and get rid of the problem.
00:26:23.000There is no solution other than serious racism, serious violations of basic human rights.
00:26:32.000The kinds of violations that I would never support for any member of any other race.
00:26:40.000We acknowledge, hey, crime statistics are a reality.
00:26:43.000As far as the likelihood of being murdered, as far as the likelihood of being mugged in the United States, it's going to be a black American more times than not, especially if you're Asian.
00:27:53.000I guess so if it's in the face of you accusing me of being unbearable for being white.
00:27:59.000By the way, willing to bet you wouldn't make that accusation, even a far more moderated version.
00:28:07.000I'd be willing to bet the people who write these wouldn't be willing to issue a very valid, objective critique of any other facet regarding any other race or culture.
00:28:20.000That tells you where the racism exists.
00:28:24.000That tells you which group of people is okay to target.
00:28:29.000And then people like Crockett go, they never face racism.
00:29:42.000Okay, so white people are part of the diversity.
00:29:44.000No, no, we need diversity except for white people.
00:29:46.000So what you are saying is that people who are not white are in some way superior to white.
00:29:52.000That's why you made the choice and you qualified it with, it's actually our greatest strength, meaning stronger than having a lot of white people.
00:29:58.000Now, the world's greatest militaries throughout ever would like to have a word with you, but it's an opinion that you can hold.
00:30:05.000Just don't try and convince people that they're racist for arguing the point.
00:30:11.000We really are at this point saying the exact same thing.
00:31:38.000We'll go through each claim that has been made because they consistently move the goalposts.
00:31:41.000The first claim that you heard with this story, right?
00:31:44.000This is how we all were introduced to it.
00:31:46.000CBS, the suits at CBS, they stopped Colbert from airing this interview with Texas Senate candidate James Tallarico, who we've covered.
00:31:58.000You know, you know, who is not one of my guests tonight?
00:32:01.000That's Texas State Representative James Tallarico.
00:32:05.000He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network's lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast.
00:32:15.000Then, then I was told in some uncertain terms that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on.
00:34:11.000He wrote, the late show was not, by the way, completely straight.
00:34:14.000The late show was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Representative James Tallarico.
00:34:19.000The show has provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal time rule for two other candidates, including Representative Jasmine Crockett, and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates should, or sorry, could be fulfilled.
00:34:36.000The late show, CAPS, decided to present the interview through its YouTube channel with on-air promotion on the broadcast rather than potentially providing the equal time options.
00:34:49.000And I love brunching with my wife's hot bod.
00:34:52.000When Brian Stelter comes out and says you just lied, that's pretty bad on the left.
00:34:57.000Although also, he probably has an interest in CBS not doing all that work.
00:35:17.000That is my understanding that the federal government didn't shut this down.
00:35:21.000It's our understanding that Colbert, either Mr. Colmear or CBS, decided to make the state right here.
00:35:31.000This was because of a fear that the FCC might say some doors and that there may have been advice to just have me on and then they could clear the issue.
00:35:46.000One, in this case, it's very important that you understand equal time, as we're referring to it, would mean two Democrats, would mean if you have Tallarico on, right?
00:35:55.000It's a Democratic primary, you'd have to have his opponent on, Jasmine Crockett.
00:36:01.000Two, have you noticed that we always see a bunch of shotgun and boom mics, yet none of them are used in these videos?
00:36:33.000Equal time would be two Democrats, which means, just like they kind of did with Bernie, those in power in the left, people like Colbert, right?
00:36:41.000They go to cocktail parties with these folks.
00:36:43.000They want to put their thumb on the scales for the most electable candidate.
00:36:56.000And I don't even, and by the way, I'll just sort of shortcut to the truth.
00:37:01.000What he says exists nowhere, just to let you know, but he makes the claim that shows like his talk shows are somehow exempt from the equal time, equal opportunities rule.
00:37:13.000You might have heard of this thing called the equal time rule, okay?
00:37:16.000It's an old FCC rule that applies only to radio and broadcast television, not cable or streaming, that says if a show has a candidate on during an election, they have to have all that candidate's opponents on as well.
00:37:28.000It's the FCC's most time-honored rule.
00:37:31.000On January 21st of this year, a letter was released by FCC chairman and smug bowling pin, Brendan Carr.
00:37:39.000In this letter, Carr said he was thinking about dropping the exception for talk shows because he said some of them were motivated by partisan purposes.
00:37:48.000Well, sir, you're chairman of the FCC, so FCCU needs more show tunes.
00:38:44.000So, you know, according to the FCC, importantly, the FCC has not been presented with any evidence that the interview portion of any late-night or daytime television talk show program on air presently would qualify for the bona fide news exceptions.
00:38:56.000So the exception is for like a bona fide news show, meaning it's a news where it's a story being covered for its newsworthiness, not giving a platform.
00:39:06.000Moreover, a program that is motivated by partisan purposes, for example, would not be entitled to an exemption under long-standing FCC precedent.
00:39:27.000Poorly done to try and get people in line with a policy proposed by the Democratic Party.
00:39:32.000Does anyone actually want to argue that Stephen Colbert is unbiased and objective?
00:39:38.000And just so you know how clear this is, this is about two Democrats.
00:39:42.000Does anyone actually want to make the case that in national elections, and not just that, but in between the national elections, they weren't painting an incredibly dishonest, but certainly, that could be opinion, biased picture and presentation toward Donald Trump in comparison to having a beer with Kamala Harris?
00:42:20.000...uses these rules, views these rules as a way to target broadcast networks and frankly, to target liberal shows that are critical of President Trump.
00:42:30.000Now, Carr, he's going to hold a press conference later today.
00:42:32.000He might say that he is simply following what Congress intended many decades ago.
00:42:37.000But as a practical matter, networks and local stations, they've been aware for decades that these rules have not been taken very seriously, that there are not majority.
00:42:49.000you to be propaganda networks say he's going to take these rules seriously and then a couple weeks ago the fcc sent a letter to abc over a possible violation of equal time rules at the view so cbs knewing about that letter at abc knowing about was more skittish as a result And that's why this CBS lawyer is called Colbert.
00:43:07.000So you have a situation where the Trump administration's pressure against these stations is clearly being felt at ABC and at CBS.
00:44:32.000So their gripe is with, it's a rule, but we've been allowed to be pieces of shit for so long, and now they're saying you can't just be pieces of shit.
00:44:40.000And even in this case, the thing, you can't be a piece of shit.
00:45:07.000You have any idea how quickly the left, when they saw Rush Limbaugh, by the way, he died five years ago, I believe it was yesterday, two days ago.
00:45:17.000Rush Limbaugh took a dead medium, AM radio, because no one would want to have him on broadcast television or even cable at that point in time.
00:45:27.000He single-handedly revived it, where it became valuable and it created a whole new industry of conservative talk radio.
00:45:33.000At this point, there really was no AM radio, not of significance.
00:45:36.000It was television and you had FM radio.
00:45:39.000Had a resurgence because no one wanted it.
00:45:41.000And the left said, oh my God, we have ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNBC, and we have all of Hollywood and the rest of mainstream media.
00:46:50.000The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal time rule for two other candidates, including Representative Jasmine Crockett, and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled.
00:47:02.000The Lay Show decided to present the interview through its YouTube channel with on-air promotion on the broadcast rather than potentially providing the equal time options.
00:47:11.000Now, clearly, this statement was written by, and I'm guessing, for lawyers.
00:47:17.000Now, I'm not a lawyer, and I don't want to tell them how to do their jobs.
00:47:21.000But since they seem intent on telling me how to do mine, here we go.
00:48:32.000That's probably their biggest or the most effective tool at their disposal.
00:48:38.000They try to convince you that this is Trump, mean, bad, fascist Trump, who we've bashed since 2016, consequence-free, outside of a few lawsuits where it was really egregious.
00:48:50.000See, we're the victim of big, bad, fascist Trump intimidating the alternative, opposition media.
00:48:58.000Because I think you are motivated by partisan purposes yourself.
00:49:02.000Sir, you smelt it because you dealt it.
00:49:07.000You are Dutch ovening America's airwaves.
00:49:12.000Donald Trump's administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV because all Trump does is watch TV.
00:49:20.000Then why didn't they silence your monologue before that or any other one of your punchlines from this week or last week or the last five years?
00:49:32.000It was just a guess where you tried to affect an election in Texas and so you had to host another Democrat.
00:49:43.000We're the ones that are being silenced.
00:49:45.000One of the worst offenders, Colbert and his staff, they have hit us with no less than seven bullshit copyright claims on YouTube, including, by the way, just roasting the vaccine sketch, which may not even be available for public view.
00:49:59.000It is not within the line of legal precedent, to be clear.
00:50:02.000It is not how the copyright claim process is supposed to work.
00:50:06.000And one could argue that the copyright claim process on YouTube, which used to follow the law, changed in order to cater to these giant corporations who spend millions in advertising.
00:50:18.000It used to be on YouTube that if Colbert issued a copyright claim, you would say, no, no, no, this is actually obviously, this is fair use because we're criticizing something because of its newsworthiness.
00:50:27.000And then it would be released until they decided to file a suit.
00:50:31.000That was the standard where it was publicly available.
00:50:33.000Now it changes to Colbert, copyright claim, copyright claim, copyright claim, and it removes your video or blocks it or GO blocks it, depending on the country.
00:50:42.000And you have to sue them to prove your basic rights in order to reach your audience.
00:50:50.000And by the way, it would be higher if we didn't cover Colbert less because we know that the entire show will be blocked while he claims to be a victim and silenced at $12 million a year, I believe, is his salary.
00:51:29.000And they all know it, including James Tallarico, who probably forgot the lying lips are an abomination to the Lord in Proverbs line when you want to quote the Bible about stuff.
00:52:22.000But we'll do a nice Broadway musical number about it.
00:52:24.000While they accuse you of victimizing them, they bitch about the algorithm online and then use the algorithm online on YouTube with this segment to push their preferred candidate.
00:52:36.000Now, the reason, the spirit, to bring this all back, the spirit of these rules or guidelines from the FCC is to ensure that five companies, at one point, three, three networks, three companies on earth don't determine every single political race by using their might and platform to tip the scales.
00:53:18.000I want to read his quote because this man is out there quoting the Bible, saying that it's absolutely being applied incorrectly and that the Democrat Party should have a corner on Christianity breaking his personal account.
00:53:29.000Our campaign raised $2.5 million in 24 hours.
00:53:42.000The reason for the guidelines, the reason for the rules, specifically as it relates to political candidates, is so exactly what happened is not what happens.
00:54:58.000And then they'll accuse you where we're like, well, actually, we followed all the guidelines when we were on YouTube and you demonetized us anyway.
00:55:18.000It's the same reason dumb brads who are running for Congress in Illinois are showing up to ICE riots and trying to get through their lines and pushing them and then being thrown their government being like, oh, they hurt me because I'm on your side.
00:55:55.000I don't like you and I don't want you around anymore because you are a harm to society and you benefit the rest of the civilized world zero.
00:56:03.000If it's not based in some kind of truth, sorry, my empathy now goes out the window.
00:56:08.000When there's a pattern, a lifelong pattern of lying, I despise you more than a worthy opponent.
00:56:49.000Since about 2018, tens of thousands of wealthy New Yorkers fled to other states because of the very thinly veiled socialism light back then, which will bring us to the heavy-handed socialism now.
00:58:52.000Well, yeah, if it's valid, if the numbers line up perfectly.
00:58:57.000But let's go to other proposed solutions and how this, of course, will harm the American worker, the American taxpayer, as it always does.
00:59:05.000In January, Governor Hochul rejected Momdani's tax increase request to balance the budget while, of course, providing services to illegal aliens who have no business being here.
00:59:17.000So, Mayor Momdani has said that he doesn't think that wealthy people and corporations would actually leave if their taxes go up.
01:00:18.000Then what I'll have to do is raise real estate taxes and hope that people who are paying rent don't realize that that will increase their costs too.
01:00:29.000I know that for those who have watched budget after budget, it is tempting to assume that we are engaging in the same dance as our predecessors.
01:00:37.000Let me assure you, nothing about this is typical.
01:00:41.000That's why our solution is for socialism.
01:00:43.000There are two paths to raise the staff.
01:00:46.000The first is the most sustainable and the fairest path.
01:00:50.000This is the path of ending the drain on our city and raising taxes on the richest New Yorkers and the most profitable corporations.
01:00:56.000And if we do not go down the first path, the city will be forced down a second, more harmful path.
01:02:44.000Just like Colbert is really hoping you don't understand that he lied about the FCC rules.
01:02:47.000Mamdani's really hoping you don't understand basic economics, that property taxes go up, if real estate taxes go up, that will be passed on to you.
01:02:55.000And the left understands this because remember, they tried to tell you that that would take place with tariffs.
01:02:59.000Here's the difference and why it didn't.
01:03:02.000Tariffs exist in a fluid business environment as it relates to supply chains, as it relates to raw goods, meaning you aren't fixed with, let's say, getting your steel from China.
01:03:25.000So they know that costs can be passed on to consumers.
01:03:28.000They just hope you don't think about that here.
01:03:29.000The Philadelphia Reserve, by the way, they did a study and it found for every $1 in property tax increases that you see, landlords pass anywhere from 50 cents to 89 cents per dollar to tenants.
01:03:53.000It's going to lower home values, which, by the way, is one of the biggest sources of wealth for many Americans.
01:03:58.000And in New York, a lot of people have far more of their wealth tied up in their homes in most places because it's a cesspool where home prices are sky high and people can't afford them.
01:04:09.000It's going to make ownership harder as a result.
01:04:12.000You have to have typically upfront a year of property taxes ready when you're getting a loan.
01:04:18.000And if New Yorkers refuse to pay the new property taxes, Mamdani is going to send in his new very expensive SWAT team to evict them and acquire the property for the city.
01:04:29.000Oh, well, hey, I think I can take her.
01:04:58.000And now at a very low price, the city's not paying property tax on it anymore, but now they own a building.
01:05:03.000And is this how they start acquiring property?
01:05:06.000Is this how they start acquiring low-income slash free housing?
01:05:10.000Yeah, that's why property taxes are something that conservatives very much oppose, and it's a problem in Texas because you never really get to own your own home outright.
01:06:40.000They want to buy a new voting block in New York.
01:06:42.000They want to buy a voting block, by the way, of really, really poor people, except maybe in rent-controlled buildings, maybe people in Section 8 housing.
01:06:49.000The very small group of people who won't be affected by this, by the way, the one thing they all have in common is they pay nothing or close to nothing in taxes.
