Pro-Hamas protesters at Columbia University have reached a deal with the administration, but it's not a deal they were expecting. What's the difference between what's happening at Columbia and what's going on in the rest of America's colleges and universities? And who are the students who are making up the system, and why are they the ones with the leverage point in negotiations with the Administration? And why do they think they have the right to do so?

00:00:00.000 Well, folks, the protests that have broken out at America's college campuses don't look like they're going to stop anytime soon, at least not in the blue states, where all of the administrators and the government have decided to basically allow these puerile children, who are pro-terrorists, to continue their activities ad infinitum.
00:00:18.000 Why?
00:00:19.000 Well, because they must be humored.
00:00:21.000 NBC reporter Stephanie Gosk, she says that the protesters at Columbia University, for example, are not going anywhere despite the fact that the semester is coming to an end pretty soon.
00:00:31.000 You know, Columbia University extended the deadline for the Tent Encampment here by 48 hours, but that deadline runs out tonight at midnight.
00:00:38.000 And the students I have spoken with here say they aren't going anywhere.
00:00:42.000 As you mentioned, tension around the country is growing, it's spreading, it's leading to dramatic confrontations with police and dozens of arrests. 0.98
00:00:52.000 Well, as it turned out, the deadline for that deal passed and nothing happened because it turns out that the administrators are a bunch of cowards.
00:00:59.000 They're running scared from their own faculty, they're running scared from themselves because they all agree with these students, obviously, and they are running scared from these students. 0.64
00:01:08.000 And all of this raises a question.
00:01:11.000 The students who are doing this sort of stuff, 18, 19, 20-year-old students who are paying $80,000 a year or on scholarship to major in a useless field at a place like Columbia University, These are some of the richest, most privileged people in the history of the world by any stretch of the imagination.
00:01:27.000 And yet there they are protesting, not just Israel, of course, not just in favor of actual honest-to-God terror groups, but against America.
00:01:35.000 Because let's be real about what these people will like and what these people don't like.
00:01:38.000 The thing they really don't like most of all is America and the West.
00:01:42.000 The West that has given them extraordinary levels of privilege.
00:01:46.000 They hate that West.
00:01:47.000 They think that that West is the source of victimization.
00:01:50.000 They think that West is exploitative, and they seek to tear it down.
00:01:54.000 It's the only reason, as I've been saying for legitimately years at this point, that you would see something like Queers for Palestine, which is inherently self-contradictory. 1.00
00:02:02.000 It makes absolutely no sense.
00:02:04.000 You would not see drag queen story hours in favor of Hamas, but you do. 0.99
00:02:07.000 And the only reason is because you have a coalition of people who believe That the entire system is itself evil and wrong and corrupt.
00:02:14.000 So who are these kids who make up the system?
00:02:16.000 Well, today we have case 1A.
00:02:19.000 That is a person named Kaimani James.
00:02:22.000 So Kaimani James is a student at Columbia University.
00:02:27.000 Not just a student at Columbia University, Kaimani James, who says that he goes by he, she, they.
00:02:32.000 Kaimani James is one of the organizers of this pro-Hamas protest.
00:02:36.000 In fact, he was directly negotiating with the leadership of Columbia.
00:02:40.000 Now, here is the thing.
00:02:42.000 You don't have negotiations with students.
00:02:44.000 The students pay their client to come to the university, but they're only a client under certain circumstances.
00:02:51.000 Namely, they abide by the rules that apply to the clients in an establishment.
00:02:54.000 If you walk into a restaurant, you're a client of the restaurant.
00:02:57.000 If you proceed to take off your pants and underwear, they're going to have you arrested.
00:03:00.000 You have now violated the rules of the establishment.
00:03:02.000 Well, these students are in no position to quote-unquote bargain with the administration.
00:03:07.000 They're not in a labor situation with the administration.
00:03:11.000 They are not in any sort of forced relationship with the administration.
00:03:15.000 So where exactly is the leverage point?
00:03:18.000 The leverage point is simply the weakness of the administration.
00:03:20.000 So here is Kaimani James announcing that he, she, they has had communications with the Columbia administration and has achieved concessions from the Columbia administration again.
00:03:32.000 There's a large-scale difference between the administrations at universities like Columbia and what's happening down at University of Florida, for example, where you're also seeing some pro-Hamas protesters, but they've all been issued with rules, and the rules are you can use free speech, but you can't violate the following statutes.
00:03:48.000 You cannot trespass.
00:03:48.000 If you do, if you violate these statutes, you will be thrown out of the university, which is the way that universities ought to treat protests.
00:03:55.000 You're doing fine.
00:03:57.000 You're in the free speech category until you're not.
00:03:58.000 And when you're not, then you get arrested.
00:04:00.000 But here is Kaimani James, obviously a person to be reckoned with at the Columbia University level.
00:04:07.000 This morning, Columbia University issued a written commitment to engage in further negotiations for at least 48 hours.
00:04:16.000 This is a win for us.
00:04:18.000 Our negotiation team has committed not to participate in a bargaining process so long as the university attempts to extract concessions by police or military force.
00:04:29.000 After forcing students, the majority of whom are Palestinian, Black, Brown, and Jewish students, From marginalized backgrounds to wait in the cold overnight to find out if they would be attacked and arrested by the NYPD or National Guard, early this morning we won the concession that the university will not call law enforcement on our peaceful protest.
00:04:54.000 So, who are people like Kaimani James?
00:04:57.000 Well, here's what we know about Kaimani James.
00:04:58.000 This is a person who's been featured in the pages of the Boston Globe since his youth.
00:05:02.000 Okay, so the Boston Globe actually ran a piece about Kaimani James in 2021, talking about this incredible activist.
00:05:10.000 Quote, as a global pandemic raged last fall and battles over school reopening plans turned bitter, a 17-year-old high school senior named Kaimani James was sworn in as the student representative on Boston's school committee.
00:05:21.000 From the confines of his bedroom, where he logged into marathon school committee meetings on Zoom and peppered Twitter with his sharp critiques and pointed questions, James became an unlikely force in Boston politics last winter as he advocated for the city's 50,000 students.
00:05:34.000 Outspoken and relentless in his quest for answers, the teenager's direct approach at times contrasted starkly with the more cautious, guarded takes of his school committee elders, all of them political appointees who serve at the pleasure of the mayor.
00:05:45.000 You know that expression defies the laws of physics?
00:05:47.000 I defy the laws of politics, James said.
00:05:49.000 I answer to the students, and not to anyone else.
00:05:53.000 Known for his scathing critiques of Boston schools, James is also a sterling example of the system's potential.
00:05:59.000 A young black man raised by a single immigrant mother in a South Boston housing development, nurtured by teachers who recognized his potential, accepted by one of the city's best public high schools, and then by a prestigious Ivy League college, Columbia University.
00:06:08.000 So in other words, the system worked to help a person from an impoverished background get ahead, and he proceeds to attack the system. 0.53
00:06:16.000 Why?
00:06:17.000 Because this is what makes you famous in America today as a young person.
00:06:20.000 If you wish for attention, the best way to attain attention, if you're a young person at this point, is aggressive victimhood, an aggressive sense of aggrievement, even from a society that is helping you along at every step, that wants to see you succeed.
00:06:33.000 And the best shield you have against a claim that you are not in fact being victimized, you are being helped, is your intersectionality.
00:06:39.000 Because no matter how many times you say, the system has helped you get ahead, the system has helped you go from impoverished single mom background to Columbia University, you can say, ah, but I am still a victim of that same system.
00:06:50.000 Because after all, I am fill in the blank, black, gay, trans, Palestinian, queer, whatever term you want to use.
00:06:59.000 We'll get to more on this in just a moment.
00:07:00.000 First, $20 barely gets you anything these days.
00:07:02.000 You can't even fill your gas tank for less than $20.
00:07:04.000 But you know what $20 will get you?
00:07:07.000 Well, from the cell phone company I use, PureTalk, you can get unlimited talk, text, and plenty of 5G data for just $20 a month.
00:07:13.000 PureTalk gives you the same quality of service as your current cell phone provider, but for half the cost.

00:07:23.000 You can switch to PeerTalk and keep the phone and phone number you currently use, or you can take advantage of their great deals on the latest iPhones and Androids.
00:07:30.000 Making the switch is incredibly easy.
00:07:32.000 Their U.S.
00:07:32.000 customer service team can help you join PeerTalk in as little as 10 minutes.
00:07:35.000 Choose to spend your hard-earned money with a wireless company that actually shares your values, supports our military and veterans, creates American jobs, and refuses to advertise on those.
00:07:43.000 Fake news networks.
00:07:44.000 Stop spending a ridiculous amount of money on your phone plan.
00:07:47.000 Head on over to puretalk.com slash Shapiro.
00:07:49.000 Right now, my listeners can get an additional 50% off their very first month of coverage.
00:07:53.000 That's puretalk.com slash Shapiro.
00:07:55.000 Again, puretalk.com slash Shapiro.
00:07:57.000 Go check them out right now, puretalk.com slash Shapiro.
00:08:02.000 This entire Boston Globe piece, which again, is about a 17 year old, is about a person who has been cultivating professional victimhood for his entire teenage lifetime.
00:08:12.000 There's a picture of him, for example, chanting with a crowd during a March for Our Lives rally in 2018.
00:08:17.000 That was three years prior.
00:08:18.000 So that's when he was 14, going to rallies and politically rallying.
00:08:24.000 James ended up quitting that particular committee.
00:08:27.000 Why?
00:08:27.000 Because he was a victim.
00:08:30.000 According to the Boston Globe, just a little later, quote, a high school senior resigned as Boston School Committee's student representative Thursday, saying administrators had silenced students' voices and that he has deep concerns about a nonprofit group that oversees the district-wide student council.
00:08:45.000 Kaimani James, a senior at Boston Latin Academy, said he stepped down after concluding that the district's leaders, including administrators, staffers, and school board members, were racist and adultist in overlooking concerns by him and his fellow students, most of whom are Black and Latino.
00:08:59.000 Another dozen students with similar complaints resigned from the Boston Student Advisory Council, according to a district-wide student government board, according to James.
00:09:07.000 He said, I had no choice but to resign.
00:09:10.000 I can't be part of a system that tells kids, oh, we're listening to you,
00:09:12.000 but their actions are the complete antithesis.
00:09:15.000 Okay, well, here's the thing about Kaimani James.
00:09:18.000 Again, this is a person who has cultivated victimhood his entire lifetime, and you can see the apotheosis of this approach in a disciplinary hearing that was held with Kaimani James and the Columbia University administration. 0.98
00:09:31.000 I'm using him as an example because he's a stand-in for literally tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of idiot students the country over. 0.93
00:09:39.000 So Kaimani James was called on the carpet by Columbia's administration a few months ago. 0.99
00:09:45.000 Why? 0.82
00:09:46.000 Because Kaimani James had suggested that he wanted to kill a Zionist. 0.93
00:09:51.000 This is about a six minute clip.
00:09:52.000 We're gonna break it down here because it really is all the things.
00:09:55.000 It's all the things.
00:09:56.000 It is the entire mentality.
00:09:58.000 I am a victim, therefore I get to be an aggressor. 0.77
00:10:01.000 I have been helped by the American system, therefore America is evil.
00:10:07.000 The people who have largely put me in a position of privilege and power are people who do not share my race. 0.95
00:10:13.000 But white supremacy is the great threat to everything.
00:10:17.000 Again, the system that gave this person prominence is the system that this person is now attacking.
00:10:22.000 And he is an organizer at Columbia.
00:10:24.000 Pro Commas organizer at Columbia.
00:10:26.000 There is a reason why.
00:10:30.000 A system that is too weak to give values to its children ends up being eaten by them.
00:10:35.000 And that is exactly what we are watching right now.
00:10:37.000 So here is Kaimani James.
00:10:39.000 This is a, this is a, he live streamed a disciplinary hearing.
00:10:42.000 So there's a disciplinary hearing going on in his laptop here and he's live streaming it to all of his friends over here.
00:10:47.000 Here he is.
00:10:49.000 My name is Sashawa Padaway.
00:10:50.000 I'm one of the associate directors in the Center for Student Success and Intervention.
00:10:55.000 I'm Kamani James.
00:10:57.000 I use he, she, they pronouns. 0.95
00:11:00.000 Zionist in my DM wanting to meet up and fight. 0.98
00:11:04.000 I don't fight to injure or for there to be a winner or a loser. 1.00
00:11:07.000 I fight to kill. 0.98
00:11:08.000 See y'all in New York, January 2024. 0.99
00:11:14.000 It's Miami.
00:11:15.000 I'm kidding, Amber.
00:11:16.000 today. Do you see why that's problematic in any way? No. Do you think that there's a serious
00:11:22.000 weight in taking someone's someone else's life? I think there is a serious weight in taking
00:11:28.000 someone's life. Um, and And at the same time, I think that taking someone's life in certain case scenarios is necessary and better for the overall world.
00:11:41.000 And so I personally have never killed anyone.
00:11:43.000 Thank the Lord that no one has put me in that position.
00:11:48.000 When Hitler died, the world rejoiced. 1.00
00:11:51.000 Everyone looks back at that time period and said that Hitler needed to die because he was exacting an immense amount of harm against the world.
00:12:03.000 And so just like that, during Okay, pause it right there.
00:12:06.000 Okay, this is... Okay, so, here is the line of argument from this radical who has been pampered by the system.
00:12:11.000 masters in order to gain their independence. These were masters who were white supremacists. 0.85
00:12:17.000 What is a Zionist? A white supremacist. And so let's be very clear here. 0.97
00:12:23.000 Okay, pause it right there. Okay, this is, okay, so here's the line of argument from
00:12:27.000 this radical who has been pampered by the system. Boston Latin Academy, Boston Public
00:12:35.000 School Board, Columbia University, and now has been adding on the various armorial protections
00:12:43.000 of intersectionality in order to act as a shield against his own radicalism.
00:12:47.000 I'm not being attacked because I'm wrong or terrible or pro-Hamas or promoting actual murder.
00:12:52.000 I'm being attacked because I'm gay, trans, queer, non-binary, black, right? 0.56
00:12:57.000 That's the shtick.
00:12:59.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment. 0.99
00:13:00.000 First, you know what's incredibly dumb? 0.97
00:13:02.000 Those woke TikToks that my producers make me watch all the time. 0.99
00:13:04.000 But you know what else is really dumb? 0.98
00:13:06.000 Not having life insurance. 0.88

00:14:01.000 Make sure they're taken care of.
00:14:02.000 Head on over to PolicyGenius.com slash Shapiro. 0.91
00:14:05.000 So, this person says, this person put out a statement saying that he wanted to kill Zionists. 0.99
00:14:10.000 Not gonna come to fight, I'm gonna come to kill.
00:14:13.000 And then this person goes further and says that, basically, there have been justified deaths in history.
00:14:19.000 Among the justified deaths, according to Kaimani James, are the deaths of Hitler, and also, apparently, all the violence of the Haitian Revolution.
00:14:27.000 Now, the Haitian Revolution, we should point out at this point, was the most violent uprising in The history of slave uprisings.
00:14:36.000 About 75,000 white people died during the Haitian Revolution, including the mass killing of families.
00:14:41.000 So, there are a lot of problems with the actual activities of the Haitian revolutionaries.
00:14:46.000 Even if you agree with their cause, which I think everyone does.
00:14:50.000 But he goes further. 0.98
00:14:52.000 He then says that just like French white people deserve to be killed during the Haitian Revolution, just like Hitler deserved to die, because Hitler did deserve to die, so too do Zionists, who are in fact just white supremacists. 0.99
00:15:05.000 Now again, this is a nonsensical argument. 0.99
00:15:08.000 Zionists as white supremacists makes zero sense. 0.59
00:15:10.000 First of all, you are assuming Under this rubric that every Jew is white, which is not true.
00:15:16.000 Second, you are assuming that Jews fit within white in the intersectional hierarchy, which again is weird since if you're talking about historically victimized peoples, the Jews rank number one on the list.
00:15:28.000 Very, very high.
00:15:30.000 You don't have to do comparative victimhood, though, for Jews, because, again, Jews also are disproportionately successful, which is why they're quote-unquote white supremacists, right? 0.53
00:15:37.000 The viewpoint here that is being promoted by Kaimani James is that because Jews are disproportionately successful both in the Middle East and in the United States, they are white supremacists. 0.67
00:15:45.000 And calling for a Jewish state, which is what Zionism is, just that the Jews deserve a state just like there are Christian states and Muslim states, that is a form of white supremacy, even though more than half of the Jews in Israel are brown. 0.88
00:15:57.000 They're Mizrahim. 1.00
00:15:58.000 They're from Arabic countries.
00:16:01.000 In any case, Kaimani James then continues. 0.96
00:16:03.000 So basically he's making the case that every person who is for a Jewish state should be killed because they're like Hitler or like the white people who were killed during the Haitian Revolution. 0.93
00:16:13.000 Let me be very clear here. 0.99
00:16:16.000 I'm not saying that I'm gonna go out and start killing Zionists. 1.00
00:16:23.000 What I'm saying is that if an individual who identifies as a Zionist threatens my physical safety in person, i.e. puts their 0.98
00:16:34.000 hands on me, I am going to defend myself.
00:16:37.000 And in that case scenario, it may come to a point where I don't know when to stop.
00:16:43.000 Does that make sense? I understand what you're saying.
00:16:50.000 There should not be Zionists anywhere. Zionists are Nazis. 1.00
00:16:56.000 For my identity as a black queer woman in New York City, obviously if I'm on a train and I'm 0.99
00:17:02.000 sexually assaulted or harassed in some way, I may send the right slaps on, right?
00:17:07.000 Doing and saying that versus saying that, you know, you fight to kill and you made a comment earlier where you stated that you may not know your own strengths behind why or you may not have the resistant to stop, right?
00:17:24.000 That is kind of like what I'm taking from what you were sharing, that it could get to that point.
00:17:30.000 Okay, both of them have taken a break, everyone.
00:17:32.000 Okay, so pause it there.
00:17:34.000 So now, Kaimani James turns to the camera and is talking to his friends about what he's just experienced.
00:17:40.000 So, first of all, the person interviewing him is a black queer woman. 0.52
00:17:44.000 Again, the intersectionality here is just like, it's so strong.
00:17:48.000 I understand what you're saying.
00:17:49.000 I understand your feelings. 0.68
00:17:50.000 Okay, first of all, this is a person who just said Zionists should die and do not deserve to exist.
00:17:57.000 And said that to the administration of Columbia, who's treating him with kid gloves.
00:18:03.000 And then having competitive intersectional bona fides fights. 0.98
00:18:09.000 As a black queer woman, I understand what you're saying that if someone put their hands on me, I might slap them. 0.96
00:18:13.000 Like what? 0.98
00:18:14.000 What?
00:18:16.000 But this is what happens when you have an entire system built to coddle aggressive victims.
00:18:22.000 An entire system built to coddle aggressive victims.
00:18:24.000 And it continues because Kaimani James is live streaming this to his friends.
00:18:29.000 By the way, still on the campus as a student organizer.
00:18:32.000 So were there any repercussions?
00:18:33.000 Apparently not.
00:18:34.000 Here's Kaimani James.
00:18:36.000 So these are two black women. 1.00
00:18:38.000 I just wanted to throw that out there.
00:18:40.000 So I'm not too keen on going to, but yeah, these are two black women in the meeting, just in case y'all couldn't tell already, But these are two black women. 1.00
00:18:51.000 The meeting's a joke. 0.98
00:18:52.000 They definitely were hoping that I was gonna walk back the I fight to kill.
00:18:59.000 Your initial letter from your office mentioned that this meeting will determine if it needs to reach or go to a disciplinary hearing.
00:19:09.000 Is that correct?
00:19:11.000 And so that's what I'll be That and it can also be that we need additional information.
00:19:19.000 All of our letters are standard, so it depends on kind of like everything that you disclosed to us today and what we've discussed.
00:19:25.000 Right, right, right.
00:19:26.000 Okay, then.
00:19:26.000 Well, thank you.
00:19:27.000 No problem.
00:19:28.000 A lot of people agree that Hitler needed to die in order for world order to move forward and in order to establish some inkling of world peace.
00:19:41.000 And so if we can agree as a society, as a collective, that people, that person, some persons need to die if they have an ideology that results in the deaths of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions. 0.93
00:20:02.000 If there are people like that who exist, shouldn't they die?
00:20:08.000 Why would we want people who are supporters of genocide to live? 0.98
00:20:14.000 I'm confused!
00:20:17.000 Okay, that's all we need from this person. 0.97
00:20:20.000 Along with all white supremacists need not to exist. 0.92
00:20:22.000 That's how I conclude. 0.95
00:20:23.000 Zionists along with all white supremacists need not to exist. 1.00
00:20:25.000 So, lie to the administration. 0.98
00:20:27.000 That was just about a personal conflict if I might have with a Zionist, which means Jew, obviously.
00:20:32.000 But all of them need to not exist.
00:20:34.000 This person not only was accepted to Columbia, they knew all this beforehand.
00:20:39.000 They knew all this beforehand.
00:20:41.000 Kaimani James was accepted to Columbia after being called into a school committee meeting and saying, quote, I hate white people in 2021, and then ended up at Columbia.
00:20:54.000 So when you wonder what's going wrong with the next generation, understand that people like Haimani James have been pampered.
00:21:00.000 They've been bred by an entire ideology that suggests that power lies in aggressive statements of victimhood that allow you to literally call for wiping entire groups of human beings off the planet Earth based on ideology.
00:21:14.000 That is That's what these protesters are.
00:21:18.000 That's what they are.
00:21:19.000 And the reason I spend so much time with this person is because it's indicative of something broader and deeper.
00:21:23.000 We'll get to more on this in just a moment.
00:21:25.000 First, dudes, have you heard of Rose Sparks?
00:21:27.000 A dual-action prescription merges the powerhouse ingredients found in generic Viagra and Cialis, they're called sildenafil and tadalafil, into one formidable treatment.
00:21:35.000 But it's not merely about what's inside them, it's about the mode of delivery.
00:21:37.000 Rose Sparks leverages the benefits of sublingual administration, meaning the tablet dissolves under your tongue. 0.94
00:21:42.000 Which means that it allows for fast absorption directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system.
00:21:48.000 Which also means quicker onset of action, reducing the wait time typically associated with traditional pills.
00:21:52.000 Moreover, Tadalafil stays in your system up to 36 hours, with rosebark spontaneity could be back on the table.
00:21:58.000 Connect with a provider at ro.co.ben.
00:22:00.000 See if RoSparks is right for you.
00:22:02.000 That's ro.co.ben.
00:22:04.000 Again, that's ro.co.ben.
00:22:07.000 Compounded drugs are permitted to be prescribed under federal law but are not FDA approved and do not undergo FDA safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing review.
00:22:13.000 Only available if prescribed after an online consultation with a provider.
00:22:17.000 Go check them out right now at ro.co.ben.
00:22:20.000 See what they can do for you.
00:22:21.000 That's ro.co.ben.
00:22:24.000 Whenever people try to box in what's happening on these college campuses, they say, well, it's just about Hamas, or it's just about Israel.
00:22:29.000 No, it's not.
00:22:30.000 It's about the West.
00:22:31.000 Do you want the future of the West to look like this?
00:22:33.000 Do you want it to look like a bunch of mewling children who have been pampered by the system, have been given every opportunity by the system, and then wish to tear that system down in the name of some sort of transgressive value cult? 0.86
00:22:48.000 People with murderous intent toward people of other groups, like whites and Jews, Does that seem like the kind of future you want to build here? 0.67
00:22:58.000 And why precisely is the administration humoring all of this?
00:23:04.000 Why is the administration humoring all of this?
00:23:05.000 And the answer is the administration is humoring all this because the administration at a root level agrees with all of this.
00:23:10.000 They do not like the system that they themselves are purveying.
00:23:15.000 This is what happens when the revolutionaries end up running the system.
00:23:18.000 The next revolutionaries eat them.
00:23:20.000 The revolution always eats its own.
00:23:21.000 Remember, every administrator, every college president in the country right now, there's huge swaths of them.
00:23:27.000 These are all people who came up during the 60s and 70s when all of the good classical liberals were thrown out and the wild leftists came in.
00:23:35.000 And now they don't know what to do with the next generation of wild leftists.
00:23:38.000 And so they're allowing the wild leftists to basically run the campus.
00:23:41.000 So, for example, USC has now canceled its main commencement ceremony after protests and arrests.
00:23:47.000 According to Axios, USC is the first known major university to cancel a graduation ceremony over the demonstrations, potentially opening the door for other schools with campus protests to follow suit.
00:23:58.000 The main ceremony usually brings 65,000 people to USC, but they're freaked out because they are deeply afraid that many of their own students are going to cause trouble.
00:24:09.000 Meanwhile, at Northwestern University, faculty, according to Guy Benson, are allowing people to miss classes to attend the Hamas Solidarity Rally encampment that the university has clearly stated violates policy and is not permitted.
00:24:21.000 One class has actually been moved to the site of the illegal protest.
00:24:27.000 Meanwhile, the authorities are arresting some people across the country, but certainly not enough.
00:24:33.000 In red states, these things are not continuing, because in red states, it turns out that the government is in fact stepping in and arresting people who are violating the law, and if they keep violating the law, they will keep getting arrested.
00:24:44.000 It is only in blue states, where they continue to foster flag-burning, pro-Hamas, pro-Hezbollah, anti-Western radicals taking over these campuses, and then they negotiate with them.
00:24:54.000 And here's the thing, Joe Biden is going to continue to allow all of this to happen.
00:24:58.000 So Republicans have been calling for a cut to federal funding for universities that allow for the violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which is, in fact, the proper response by the federal government to universities violating federal law.
00:25:11.000 Now, again, you want to argue with the content of the Civil Rights Act with regard to what sort of speech is protected on campus and all the rest?
00:25:17.000 Those are arguments I can hear.
00:25:18.000 You want to argue that it doesn't apply to Jews, but it does apply to every other group? 1.00
00:25:22.000 Now, I think that you are a hypocrite and a liar. 1.00
00:25:26.000 So Joe Biden is not going to cut funding. 1.00
00:25:27.000 Why?
00:25:28.000 Because he's attempting to buy off all these young voters.
00:25:30.000 He wants their votes.
00:25:31.000 He wants Kaimani James to vote for him.
00:25:34.000 And all he's going to have to do is keep bending over.
00:25:36.000 He's going to have to keep bending over backwards for Kaimani James and the rest.
00:25:40.000 Because they have no end point.
00:25:41.000 There is no point at which the revolution is actually achieved.
00:25:45.000 According to Politico, there are a few bars that you have to pass in order to get the federal funding out of these universities.
00:25:51.000 First, an investigation from the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights.
00:25:56.000 That can take a while, but there's no reason it has to take a while.
00:26:01.000 Also, antisemitism has not been defined under civil rights law in the same way that, for example, anti-black activity has, but if you are shouting, if you are shouting about the Yehud, that's a pretty good indicator that antisemitism is being engaged in.
00:26:16.000 Again, an environment of anti-Semitism has clearly been created on campuses like Columbia University.
00:26:22.000 And Joe Biden has refused to even consider the possibility about pulling funds.
00:26:28.000 The White House say they are closely monitoring the campus protests unfolding.
00:26:32.000 Bates says, while every American, this is Andrew Bates, the spokesperson for the White House, while every American has the right to peaceful protest, calls for violence and physical intimidation targeting Jewish students and the Jewish community are blatantly anti-Semitic, unconscionable, and dangerous.
00:26:45.000 They have no place on any college campus or anywhere in the United States of America.
00:26:48.000 Yeah, but you're not doing anything about it, I noticed.
00:26:50.000 And the reason they're not doing anything about it, they want the votes.
00:26:52.000 They want the radicals.
00:26:54.000 Donald Trump is right about this.
00:26:55.000 Donald Trump says, listen, people all over the world are laughing at us.
00:26:58.000 And that is correct. 0.98
00:26:59.000 Joe Biden is a weakling. 0.99
00:27:00.000 He can't even stop these screaming teenagers from intimidating Jewish students on campus and waving Hamas flags. 0.98
00:27:11.000 Here's President Trump correctly calling out the Biden administration.
00:27:15.000 This courthouse is locked down.
00:27:17.000 There's not a person within five blocks.
00:27:19.000 They have more police here than, and I call them New York spiders because that's what they are, and they don't want to be doing this either.
00:27:27.000 They'd like to be straightening out conditions, and they'd like to be at the colleges and making sure that they don't have what's happening, because what's happening at the colleges is a disgrace.
00:27:37.000 All over the world, People are laughing at us.
00:27:40.000 This is the worst run country right now, probably anywhere.
00:27:43.000 Just about.
00:27:44.000 You don't get much worse.
00:27:46.000 Okay, and then Trump went on to say that Joe Biden made a huge deal out of Charlottesville, which he did.
00:27:53.000 He said Charlottesville was nothing compared to this.
00:27:55.000 By the way, he's right.
00:27:56.000 Statistically speaking, he is correct.
00:27:58.000 You're talking about tens of thousands of students all across the country who are engaged in pro-Hamas rallies waving Hezbollah and Hamas flags. 0.98
00:28:06.000 As opposed to a couple of hundred morons at the Unite the Rally, Unite the Right Rally. 0.99
00:28:10.000 That was the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville in 2017. 1.00
00:28:12.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:28:14.000 First, my days are pretty full.
00:28:16.000 I got the show, got the company, being a dad, lots going on.
00:28:19.000 I can't keep up with my day if I get a bad night's sleep, and that's why I really need my Helix mattress.
00:28:25.000 Helix harnesses years of mattress expertise to offer that truly elevated sleep experience.
00:28:29.000 The Helix Elite Collection includes six different mattress models, each tailored for specific sleep positions and firmness preferences.
00:28:35.000 If you're nervous about buying a mattress online, well, you don't have to be.
00:28:37.000 Helix has that sleep quiz that matches your body type and sleep preferences to the perfect mattress.
00:28:41.000 Because why would you buy a mattress made for somebody else?
00:28:43.000 I took the Helix quiz.
00:28:44.000 I was matched with a firm but breathable mattress.
00:28:46.000 I love it.
00:28:46.000 My wife loves it as well.
00:28:47.000 We are big Helix fans at the Shapiro house.
00:28:49.000 Plus, Helix has a 10-year warranty.
00:28:51.000 You can try it out for 100 nights risk-free.
00:28:53.000 They'll even pick it up for you if you don't love it, but you're gonna love it.
00:28:55.000 Helix's financing options and flexible payment plans make it so a great night's sleep is never far away.
00:29:00.000 Helix is offering my listeners 20% off all mattress orders plus two free pillows.
00:29:04.000 Go to helixsleep.com slash Ben.
00:29:06.000 That's helixsleep.com slash Ben.
00:29:08.000 I've been using Helix Sleep for years myself.
00:29:11.000 You'll love it.
00:29:11.000 My relatives have it as well.
00:29:12.000 It's their best offer yet.
00:29:13.000 It's not going to last long with Helix.
00:29:15.000 Better sleep starts right now.
00:29:17.000 Trump put out a statement on Truth Social saying Crooked Joe Biden would say constantly that he ran because of Charlottesville.
00:29:22.000 Well, if that's the case, he's done a really terrible job because Charlottesville is like a peanut compared to the riots and anti-Israel protests happening all over our country right now.
00:29:29.000 And it's Crooked Joe's fault because he sends the wrong message every single time. 0.59
00:29:32.000 The fact is that Crooked Joe Biden hates Israel and hates the Jewish people.
00:29:36.000 The problem is that he hates the Palestinians even more and he just doesn't know what to do. 0.84
00:29:40.000 That last part is discombobulated.
00:29:42.000 I'm not sure exactly what he means by that.
00:29:45.000 What is clear, however, is that Joe Biden is weak in the face of all of this, because he is, in fact, unbelievably weak in the face of all this. 0.84
00:29:52.000 So the White House then blasted Trump for saying that Charlottesville was penis compared to this, but the White House won't even make clear statements.
00:29:59.000 Joe Biden has made one statement so far, and in that statement, he has condemned the anti-Semitic activities on campus and also condemned people who, quote-unquote, don't understand the plight of the Palestinians, which is both sides in it, if ever there was some.
00:30:14.000 Meanwhile, they've deployed the second gentleman, Douglas Emhoff, the only Jew they could find, to go speak with the Columbia University Hillel director, along with an Orthodox rabbi affiliated with the school.
00:30:27.000 He called up the Hillel director, Brian Cohen, and Orthodox Union JLIC rabbi, Ellie Buckler, And he recognized that while every American has the right to freedom of speech and to protest peacefully, hate speech and calls for violence against Jews is both anti-Semitic and unacceptable.
00:30:39.000 Let's just be real about this.
00:30:40.000 It wasn't Joe Biden who called.
00:30:41.000 It wasn't Kamala Harris who called. 0.54
00:30:43.000 It was Kamala Harris's husband who shows up for asinine announcements about Hanukkah every year.
00:30:51.000 Like, that's the official Jewish emissary, the envoy to the college kids who are Jewish and who are being intimidated off of campus. 1.00
00:30:59.000 By the way, it's such, here's the thing, Joe Biden and his campaign, they're morons. 0.99
00:31:03.000 You know how many points they could win with the American people for saying, people who burn American flags and fly Hamas flags and shout, from the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free, and shout about the killing of Jews, that those people are disgusting and we don't want their votes? 1.00
00:31:14.000 You know how many more votes you would win by doing that? 0.95
00:31:17.000 Young people don't even care about this. 1.00
00:31:20.000 There is a new poll out from the Harvard Youth Poll 2024.
00:31:22.000 18 to 29 year olds.
00:31:25.000 And here is what it finds.
00:31:27.000 By issue.
00:31:27.000 What are the issues that people actually care about?
00:31:30.000 The major issues facing America, which is most important, at the very bottom of the heap of all the issues, number 16 of 16 is student debt, which Joe Biden has been trying to push out there, right?
00:31:41.000 He's been saying, I'm going to alleviate all your student debt, now all the youngs will vote for me.
00:31:45.000 They don't care.
00:31:46.000 They don't care.
00:31:47.000 By the way, you want to know why they don't care about their student debt?
00:31:49.000 Their student debt is racking up at a 0.07% interest rate.
00:31:52.000 I mean, like the interest rates on FAFSA loans are really, really, really low.
00:31:56.000 Compared to other loans, that is not, and people are paying like 50 bucks a month to pay back their student loans.
00:32:01.000 But, put that aside.
00:32:02.000 The second to last issue on the list of concerns for 18 to 29 year olds, according to this Harvard Youth Poll, Israel-Palestine.
00:32:10.000 Only 34% of these people call this a major issue.
00:32:16.000 Only 34%. 1.00
00:32:16.000 34% among Democrats only 37% it is nearly last on the list And that is where Joe Biden is putting his focus because he has been completely captured by his idiot aides. 1.00
00:32:30.000 Meanwhile, by the way, it should be worthwhile noting here that there is in fact a conflict in the Middle East in which Israel is in fact correct and Hamas is in fact wrong. 0.90
00:32:38.000 But again, because Joe Biden wants to win those dearborn Michigan voters, he keeps trying to both sides it. 0.97
00:32:43.000 Despite the fact that apparently, yesterday, remember, the United States is idiotically, in asinine fashion, now trying to build a humanitarian aid pier in the Mediterranean. 0.96
00:32:54.000 So what happened yesterday? 0.98
00:32:56.000 Apparently, terrorists in the Gaza Strip then launched mortars at it.
00:33:01.000 Remember, the claim is that Israel won't allow the aid into Gaza.
00:33:05.000 That's not true.
00:33:06.000 Israel's been allowing hundreds of trucks of aid into the Gaza Strip every day for months.
00:33:11.000 But now, Hamas is literally firing mortars at the humanitarian aid peer because they want the human suffering. 0.99
00:33:19.000 They want the Palestinians to suffer, specifically so idiots on the left will continue to pretend that it's Israel doing it. 0.99
00:33:26.000 UN officials were touring the site with Israeli troops at the time and they had to be rushed to a shelter by the Israeli troops. 0.99
00:33:32.000 So once again, the Israelis protecting the UN and Hamas firing at the UN and the UN targeting the Israelis. 0.97
00:33:38.000 Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court, which is just a wretched hive of scum and villainy, right? 0.96
00:33:43.000 Again, the ICC is a pseudo court set up by the United Nations that supposedly has the power of international law behind it. 0.96
00:33:51.000 But really what it is, is it's just a bunch of far left And evil states that combine to target whomever they seek to target in the ICC.
00:33:59.000 It has no real enforcement power unless you can get another one of the states, particularly in Europe, to enforce the rulings of the ICC.
00:34:06.000 They're now attempting to bring individual cases against the Israeli prime minister, the Israeli defense minister, and the head of the Israeli army.
00:34:13.000 They're literally criminalizing the existence of the State of Israel at the International Criminal Court.
00:34:18.000 The United States should pull its money forthwith. 0.99
00:34:20.000 The ICC has always been a stupid idea, just like the UN. 0.98
00:34:23.000 Both the ICC and the UN ought to be disbanded. 1.00
00:34:25.000 The United States ought to pull all funding from both of these organizations because they are in fact trash. 0.99
00:34:29.000 By the way, how do we know they're trash? 0.99
00:34:30.000 The United States won't even make itself subject to the ICC. 0.95
00:34:34.000 The United States has laws on the books that prevent its military from being dragged into the ICC.
00:34:39.000 Why?
00:34:39.000 Because we're afraid that our generals are going to get called in to the ICC and then arrested.
00:34:45.000 So why the hell are we funding an organization like that?
00:34:47.000 Okay, in just one second, we'll get to a possible win at the Supreme Court for the President of the United States.
00:34:53.000 First, as you can tell, I'm on the road right now.
00:34:55.000 Well, last time I had to hold up a picture of our Leftist Tears Tumblr in School Producers Act for not remembering to bring it.
00:35:01.000 Well, he snapped into action.
00:35:02.000 He drove all the way back to our office to get the Tumblr.
00:35:05.000 You can see it.
00:35:06.000 It's now here in person.
00:35:09.000 Well, he still screwed it up.
00:35:10.000 He did not bring the correct black, left his tears tumbler.
00:35:12.000 So, here's the one that we actually Should have had.
00:35:17.000 That's the one that we're talking about right here.
00:35:18.000 So, you know.
00:35:20.000 Nice try, Zach.

00:35:55.000 stops by The Sunday Special.
00:35:56.000 Fascinating conversation, a lot to talk about.
00:36:00.000 It gets really colorful.
00:36:01.000 We get into a lot of topics, some of them pretty fraught.
00:36:04.000 Really interesting person, RFK Jr., currently pulling the best of any third-party candidates since Ross Perot.
00:36:09.000 Check out some of the trailer.
00:36:12.000 I believe that every abortion is a tragedy at one level or another.
00:36:17.000 It's not just a tragedy, it's a crime against the child because the child has an independent interest.
00:36:22.000 What do you say to that?
00:36:24.000 The solution of having the state come in and dictate choices that, you know, that the woman is making is not, that's not a good solution. 0.52
00:36:36.000 You don't believe that the child has an independent right to life, for example, at any point during the pregnancy?
00:36:41.000 You know, you and I all differ on that, and that's just a place where I differ, and I understand your position.
00:36:46.000 I have tremendous respect for you.
00:36:50.000 I'm for, you know, for having that kind of absolute moral clarity on that position.
00:36:58.000 But I think it's more nuanced and complex than that.
00:37:02.000 Again, check that out on Sunday.
00:37:10.000 You can get it Saturday if you are an All Access member.
00:37:12.000 You can get it a little bit early.
00:37:13.000 It is a fantastic, fantastic episode.
00:37:15.000 Go check it out right now.
00:37:16.000 Meanwhile, Democrats were hoping that Jack Smith's January 6th case was going to take Trump out of contention for the presidency, that they get a conviction really quick up in Washington, D.C., and this would allow Donald Trump to be convicted federally, and then he would be in a federal prison for the election.
00:37:33.000 He still has a state trial going on in New York over this dumb hush money case.
00:37:36.000 It really is not a hush money case.
00:37:37.000 It really is just about 2016.
00:37:39.000 Because again, hush money is actually not illegal in the United States.
00:37:42.000 People pay hush money all the time.
00:37:44.000 The real question is whether he changed the outcome of the 2016 election illegally by paying hush money to a couple of ladies he had allegedly shtooped.
00:37:53.000 Okay, so that case is still ongoing.
00:37:55.000 But the other case that's very dangerous for him obviously is the January 6th case.
00:38:00.000 Well, Jack Smith has brought this case, and the Trump defense suggested that Trump has presidential immunity for his activities leading up to and on January 6th.
00:38:11.000 And the argument, basically, is you can't prosecute a president after he leaves office, because if you prosecute a president after he leaves office, then you could prosecute him for literally anything.
00:38:20.000 There are many circumstances in which a president does something that if you were not the president, it could have legal ramifications.
00:38:27.000 And if you just start prosecuting presidents post-presidency for things they did while they were president, well, then you're going to create a horrible set of incentive structures.
00:38:37.000 Number one, the president won't be able to do things he actually does need to do.
00:38:40.000 Number two, the president's never going to want to not be president.
00:38:42.000 He's not going to give up that power very easily.
00:38:45.000 The argument that was made by Jack Smith and company is that there is no presidential immunity.
00:38:49.000 Now, where the Supreme Court is likely to land on this case is there is some form of presidential immunity, but only for actions within the scope of presidential duty.
00:38:58.000 That if you're talking about things that are outside the scope of presidential duty, then you could theoretically be prosecuted post-presidency for all of that.
00:39:06.000 Like, Richard Nixon could have been prosecuted post-presidency, which is why he needed a pardon, after Watergate, for example, because that was done outside the scope of presidential duty.
00:39:14.000 I have a feeling that's where the Supreme Court is going to land, but it's going to take months for the Supreme Court to rule on this case, and that may take us past the election, thereby taking this January 6th case off the table.
00:39:24.000 According to the New York Times, The Supreme Court's conservative majority appeared ready on Thursday to rule that former presidents do have some degree of immunity from criminal prosecution, a move that could further delay the criminal charge against Trump on charges he planned to subvert the 2020 election.
00:39:39.000 Such a ruling would likely send the case back to the trial court, ordering it to draw distinctions between official and private conduct.
00:39:44.000 Which, by the way, is the proper and correct answer, and you can see why.
00:39:47.000 So, for example?
00:39:49.000 Justice Samuel Alito was the second best justice on the court after Clarence Thomas.
00:39:53.000 He says, if the president doesn't have immunity, then won't you have a problem with presidents never wanting to leave office?
00:40:01.000 I'm sure you would agree with me that a stable democratic society requires that a candidate who loses an election, even a close one, even a hotly contested one, leave office peacefully if that candidate is the incumbent.
00:40:19.000 Of course.
00:40:20.000 All right.
00:40:20.000 Now, if an incumbent who Loses a very close, hotly contested election.
00:40:29.000 Knows that a real possibility After leaving office, is not that the president is going to be able to go off into a peaceful retirement, but that the president may be criminally prosecuted by a bitter political opponent.
00:40:47.000 Will that not lead us into a cycle that destabilizes the functioning of our country as a democracy?
00:40:57.000 Alito then made another argument, which was, well, if we are now going to basically say that presidents can be prosecuted for anything they did while they were president, wouldn't that mean, for example, that FDR could have been prosecuted post-World War II for many of the actions that he took during World War II?
00:41:11.000 And the Justice Department actually said yes.
00:41:13.000 They said yes, if there were no presidential immunity at all, that is what the predictable result would be.
00:41:18.000 Mr. Sauer and others have identified events in the past where presidents have engaged in conduct that might have been charged as a federal crime, and you say, well, no, that's not really true.
00:41:34.000 This is page 42 of your brief.
00:41:36.000 So what about President Franklin D. Roosevelt's decision to intern Japanese Americans during World War II?
00:41:43.000 Couldn't that have been charged under 18 U.S.C.
00:41:48.000 241, conspiracy against civil rights?
00:41:50.000 Today, yes, given this court's decision in Trump versus United States in which the, you know, Trump versus Hawaii, excuse me, where the court said Korematsu is overruled.
00:42:06.000 Well, that is going to be a problem.
00:42:08.000 Now, on the other side of the aisle, obviously you do not want the president to have a complete immunity for anything you might do as president.
00:42:13.000 So, for example, let's say the president orders the assassination of a political rival.
00:42:16.000 That's going to be a problem.
00:42:17.000 So Justice Sonia Sotomayor, she asked that question.
00:42:20.000 She said, well, if the president decides that his rival is corrupt and wants the military to kill him, could he just do that and then be immune for that?
00:42:27.000 Now, I think, and your answer below, I'm going to give you a chance to say if you stay by it.
00:42:38.000 If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person, and he orders the military or orders someone to assassinate him, is that within his official acts for which he can get immunity?
00:42:58.000 It would depend on the hypothetical, but we can see that could well be an official act.
00:43:01.000 It could, and why?
00:43:02.000 Because he's doing it for personal reasons.
00:43:05.000 He's not doing it Act like President Obama is alleged to have done it, to protect the country from a terrorist.
00:43:14.000 He's doing it for personal gain.
00:43:17.000 Okay, so again, I think that where the Supreme Court is likely to come down on this, they're likely to send this back to a lower court and say, no, there is no such thing as no presidential immunity, but we need to make clear what exactly the rules of presidential immunity are, which by the way, is the proper response.
00:43:31.000 But on a formal level, what this means is that the January 6th case is gonna get kicked beyond the election, which is in fact a legal win for President Trump.
00:43:39.000 Meanwhile, the economy is actually going the wrong way for President Biden.
00:43:44.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, the dream of a Fed rate cut is slipping away.
00:43:48.000 There was an economic report on Thursday.
00:43:51.000 That economic report came in very weak.
00:43:53.000 It showed a 1.6% GDP growth in the first quarter of the year, much weaker than expected.
00:44:00.000 Not only that, Inflation continues to accelerate.
00:44:05.000 The annualized GDP chain price, measuring how much prices have gone up or down in the economy, helping to track inflation, actually jumped up to 3.1% from 1.6%.
00:44:13.000 So you're starting to see renewed inflation and worse economic growth, which is precisely what you'd expect to see from an overspending economy.
00:44:21.000 Joe Biden has poured too much money into this economy.
00:44:23.000 Everybody knows it at this point.
00:44:25.000 JP Morgan CEO, Jamie Dimon, he says, There are long odds now for a soft landing.
00:44:30.000 That is correct.
00:44:30.000 If there's a recession, by the way, before the election, Joe Biden is clearly not going to be reelected.
00:44:36.000 You yourself sound quite glum in the letter.
00:44:38.000 Can you tell us a bit more about why that is?
00:44:39.000 So I'm not looking at a year.
00:44:41.000 I'm not making a forecast.
00:44:42.000 I'm trying to say, what are the range of possible outcomes?
00:44:45.000 And last year and this year, I would put out the same issues.
00:44:48.000 Huge amount of fiscal deficit, huge amount of QE, a lot of things in the future, inflationary, the green economy, the re-militarization of the world.
00:44:57.000 Again, Joe Biden has run this economy really, really badly.
00:44:58.000 Everybody knows it at this point.
00:44:59.000 far as I can see, and geopolitics. All that puts me on the side of caution that things
00:45:04.000 may not go as well as people expect. The odds of a soft landing, the market kind of prices
00:45:09.000 in 70 percent, I think it's half of that. You know, as a business person, I try to be
00:45:12.000 prepared for all of that. Just a little cautious.
00:45:15.000 Again, Joe Biden has run this economy really, really badly.
00:45:19.000 Everybody knows it at this point.
00:45:20.000 It's the reason why he's still struggling in all of the polls.
00:45:22.000 We'll get to more on this in just a moment.

00:46:26.000 Well, folks, it is a Friday.
00:46:27.000 You know what that means.
00:46:27.000 It's time to deconstruct some culture.
00:46:30.000 So, let's jump right in.
00:46:32.000 Let me remind you, by the way, that we do have a 47-minute review is a thing that I did.
00:46:37.000 I listened to the entire Taylor Swift album.
00:46:39.000 It's two hours long.
00:46:40.000 So, our 47-minute review, you could watch almost three times and still spend about as much time as you would spend listening to Taylor Swift's latest album.
00:46:47.000 Go check that out over at the YouTubes.
00:46:50.000 But also, Coachella just ended.
00:46:52.000 I know.
00:46:53.000 I know it's sad.
00:46:53.000 We all wait for it every year.
00:46:55.000 Well now that Coachella has ended, it's second week has come to a close just last weekend, our Instagram timelines can finally be cleansed of a style that one can only call Hohemian.
00:47:07.000 Style is usually front and center for the music festival, more important than the mostly horrible music from bands that are largely irrelevant.
00:47:14.000 But this year, the cut has quite a take on the outfit scene.
00:47:17.000 in Coachella Valley.
00:47:19.000 Are Coachella outfits becoming too normal?
00:47:22.000 That was their headline.
00:47:23.000 I was getting somewhat excited for this headline.
00:47:26.000 Listen, I don't want to see Vanessa Hudgens dressing up as a bush or something and pretending it's a dress. 0.62
00:47:33.000 I've assumed that most Coachella goers just walk into Urban Outfitters preparing and ask, sell me something that makes me look like a dirty homeless person.
00:47:40.000 So I clicked the headline and looked to see if the outfits were too normal.
00:47:44.000 And here are some of the actual photos that accompany the piece.
00:47:48.000 Yes, gang, that's too normal.
00:47:52.000 I mean, this looks like pretty much business attire, right?
00:47:56.000 And we can all guess the business.
00:47:58.000 Here's another normal look.
00:48:00.000 If you're trying to find the women from Hocus Pocus at a rodeo. 0.84
00:48:07.000 Where exactly is the normal?
00:48:08.000 I'm missing it.
00:48:09.000 This one is a little bit more normal.
00:48:12.000 Looks like domes of anarchy.
00:48:15.000 It's a good look there.
00:48:17.000 Like, so normal, so much normality.
00:48:19.000 All these people are going to be applying for jobs at PricewaterhouseCooper soon.
00:48:24.000 Well, I figured already out what I'm planning on wearing to Coachella.
00:48:28.000 Here's my Coachella normal look.
00:48:32.000 Yep.
00:48:32.000 Although I would never wear a New York Yankees hat.
00:48:35.000 And meanwhile, A source has revealed to US Weekly in their newest issue that Megan Fox is currently re-evaluating her relationship with Machine Gun Kelly, which is interesting because I never evaluated it in the first place.
00:48:48.000 I don't know.
00:48:48.000 If this couple can't make it, can anyone?
00:48:51.000 Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox, I thought it was forever.
00:48:55.000 I thought it was cosmic love.
00:48:57.000 The source reported it was getting toxic between them.
00:49:00.000 Wait.
00:49:01.000 No.
00:49:01.000 Stop.
00:49:02.000 I don't believe it.
00:49:03.000 That they've been fighting a lot.
00:49:04.000 Wait, wait.
00:49:05.000 You're telling me that Megan Fox and a guy whose name is Machine Gun Kelly, they're fighting a lot?
00:49:12.000 Wow.
00:49:13.000 If only he had been named Peace Kelly or something.
00:49:16.000 She reportedly has told Machine Gun Kelly she wants some space to rethink her decisions.
00:49:20.000 Which is a good idea, because it appears that Machine Gun Kelly also has some things to rethink.
00:49:26.000 That's not a tattoo, man.
00:49:29.000 That's a skin disease.
00:49:30.000 Did he walk into the tattoo shop and just say, give me the venom? 0.70
00:49:35.000 I know that being a white rapper can be difficult.
00:49:37.000 I know, I've been there.
00:49:38.000 It's a rough ride.
00:49:39.000 But I'm not sure about this strategy for avoiding the stigma.
00:49:45.000 I'm also curious about, like, so many elements of what went into the thinking here.
00:49:51.000 First of all, if he went all the way up his face, then he's Justin Trudeau, right?
00:49:54.000 But also, apparently, if you look at this tattoo more closely, I don't know how you would, but we're going to, if you did, you would see that there is a crouching homeless person in the tattoo with a sign that reads, I want change on his torso.
00:50:14.000 I mean, I guess that's one way to get what you need at the supermarket.
00:50:18.000 You go into the supermarket, give them a 20, I need change.
00:50:25.000 Also, I mean, maybe he's worried about the cost of the breakup.
00:50:30.000 The only good news about this tattoo is I suppose that you save money on clothing.
00:50:35.000 Meanwhile, everyone's favorite rapping Hitler fan is back in the news.
00:50:40.000 Kanye West, professionally known as Yeezy, or Ye, or Please Make This Stop, has decided to expand his empire into more than just underwhelming new music and overrated shoes.
00:50:51.000 He is now jumping into the world of adult entertainment.
00:50:53.000 I mean, he was married to Kim Kardashian, so I guess back into the world of adult entertainment?
00:50:58.000 Ye has confirmed reports he is setting up his very own pornography studio.
00:51:03.000 Which makes sense.
00:51:04.000 You know, one of the best strategies in business is vertical integration.
00:51:07.000 And since he's been showing pornography to his various advertising partners, he wants to make the thing that he also distributes. 0.97
00:51:15.000 He's tired of just making his wives look like porn stars. 1.00
00:51:18.000 It appears he is now going to work with actual professionals. 0.65
00:51:21.000 He is supposedly teaming up with, of all people, Stormy Daniels' ex-husband to build out this division of his brand.
00:51:29.000 And those are a couple of marriages that have really It's been solid in every, really?
00:51:36.000 Like Stormy Daniels and her husband, Kanye and Kim.
00:51:39.000 Why don't these relationships last forever, guys?
00:51:41.000 So Kanye has gone from making music that's postponed for months to making videos you'll be done with in seconds, depending on who you are.
00:51:47.000 Yay! 0.99
00:51:48.000 We all know how this is gonna end.
00:51:49.000 Just look between the K and semicolon on your keyboard.
00:51:52.000 That's what you're gonna end up in this one.
00:51:54.000 It's an L. Yeah, because of that meme on Twitter. 0.96
00:51:58.000 I miss the old Kanye man, when his wife was just an amateur porn star.
00:52:04.000 Speaking of letters between your keyboard, here's a new segment called the X-Files.
00:52:08.000 Okay folks, so there is a new trend on Twitter according to Business Insider.
00:52:24.000 The trend urges users to look between certain letters on your keyboard.
00:52:29.000 Apparently, this originated with a post on 4chan, including a picture of Wi Hirasawa, the main character of a popular anime series.
00:52:37.000 Man, there's so many words here in a row that I don't care about.
00:52:41.000 I don't even know what to do with myself, how little I care about this.
00:52:44.000 Along with the caption, look between T and O on your keyboard, yielding the character's first name.
00:52:52.000 Apparently, people keep doing this now, so people are tweeting out things like, cheaters will tell you.
00:52:58.000 They love you.
00:52:59.000 And then their actions tell you to look between H and L on your keyboard because it's JK. 0.55
00:53:06.000 The New England Patriots said, want to know who we're drafting?
00:53:08.000 Look between H and L on your keyboard.
00:53:12.000 Again, JK.
00:53:15.000 But others have decided, wow, this is what a stunning, absolutely stunning trend.
00:53:23.000 So intelligent.
00:53:24.000 Look between Y and I on your keyboard.
00:53:26.000 That's all I want.
00:53:26.000 It's the letter U.
00:53:28.000 To my homies who stuck by my side, look between R and U on the keyboard because it's T-Y. 0.99
00:53:35.000 Thank you.
00:53:37.000 Well, if you want to know what I think about all of this, look between D and G on your keyboard.
00:53:47.000 It's F. I hate all of this.
00:53:50.000 I hate all of it. 1.00
00:53:50.000 It's stupid. 1.00
00:53:52.000 All of this is dumb. 1.00
00:53:52.000 You're not clever. 1.00
00:53:53.000 You're just stupid. 1.00
00:53:55.000 You realize how we've degraded as a society? 1.00
00:53:58.000 We actually went from writing hieroglyphics on a wall, to human words, to actual plays of Shakespeare, and now we are back at emojis, and now we are losing the ability to speak language.
00:54:15.000 So what a great trend.
00:54:17.000 I'm so glad that we're...
00:54:19.000 Yes, our society deserves everything that it gets, probably.
00:54:23.000 In other Twitter news, apparently, Ben Collins, you remember him? 0.98
00:54:27.000 He used to be a fake reporter for one of the big news networks, and he spent pretty much every waking moment saying dumb stuff.
00:54:34.000 Well, now he and his friends have apparently bought and run The Onion.
00:54:40.000 They announced this on Twitter.
00:54:42.000 What's funny about all of that is that he very famously, with all of his friends, left Twitter For another site called Mastodon that lasted for five seconds and now he is back on Twitter announcing it.
00:54:53.000 As one would after being a giant failure.
00:54:56.000 He also happens to be the world's most unfunny human being.
00:55:00.000 So, so credit to McGill's for this fake onion headline.
00:55:04.000 Man with no sense of humor inadvertently does the funniest thing.
00:55:08.000 That's pretty much it.
00:55:11.000 I'm going to put it out there.
00:55:13.000 Maybe the Babylon Bee actually did this and they are pretending right now to be Ben Collins.
00:55:17.000 That is the only explanation.
00:55:19.000 Alrighty guys, the rest of the show is continuing right now.
