00:02:34.300 If you didn't see Tucker Carlson's recent segment on Thomas Crooks,

00:02:39.140 the 20-year-old man who nearly assassinated Donald Trump live on national television

00:02:43.340 during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania last year,

00:02:45.560 there are a few important revelations that you should know about.

00:02:49.080 The first revelation, which is not remotely controversial,

00:02:52.100 is that the FBI has clearly been hiding relevant facts about Thomas Crooks from the general public.

00:02:59.360 And by itself, that is a national scandal that justifies completely gutting the FBI

00:03:04.660 from the highest levels on down.

00:03:06.840 Even if you firmly believe that Thomas Crooks was a lone gunman,

00:03:10.420 and even if you believe the Secret Service was merely incompetent as opposed to complicit,

00:03:15.540 the fact remains our government has been withholding important details

00:03:18.720 about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump's life without any justification whatsoever.

00:03:24.060 Now, we should not have to rely on Tucker Carlson or any podcaster to tell us

00:03:30.960 that Thomas Crooks, for example, left a lengthy trail of comments on YouTube

00:03:36.560 in which he openly called for political violence for several years.

00:03:41.440 These calls were so overt, so disturbing, that one user wrote in response to Crooks,

00:03:46.200 quote,

00:03:46.740 You're on YouTube threatening to shoot government officials. 0.97

00:03:49.300 I sure hope the FBI is monitoring social media for violent nutcases. 0.56

00:03:54.540 Now, it's almost too on the nose to be real,

00:03:56.740 but that comment is still available on YouTube to this day.

00:04:00.220 Thomas Crooks' account has been suspended, and all of his comments have been hidden.

00:04:04.240 They're only accessible using the Internet Archive website, but the replies are still there.

00:04:09.520 And yet, more than a year after the assassination attempt in Butler,

00:04:13.160 we have to rely on Tucker to tell us about any of this.

00:04:16.160 Which is completely, overwhelmingly, unequivocally unacceptable.

00:04:22.440 It should not fall to anyone in the media to tell us what Thomas Crooks was saying online

00:04:27.840 and how people were reacting to his comments.

00:04:30.960 We shouldn't have to rely on podcasters to tell us that Thomas Crooks decided sometime during the COVID lockdowns

00:04:36.340 to completely reverse his political views and to begin openly attacking Donald Trump

00:04:40.800 and his administration on social media.

00:04:43.100 And we certainly shouldn't have to rely on podcasters to tell us that Crooks was in contact with a mysterious person

00:04:48.360 who remains unidentified beyond the online alias Willie Tepes,

00:04:52.880 who openly encouraged Crooks to commit acts of violence, which you can see there.

00:04:59.300 At one point, Willie Tepes wrote to Crooks, quote,

00:05:01.320 Now, in common parlance, this is known as Fed posting.

00:05:17.460 Willie Tepes is almost being too obvious about it.

00:05:20.580 He understands that Thomas Crooks is a radical who's prone to violence.

00:05:23.880 He sees that Crooks is posting about acts of violence against political officials.

00:05:28.120 And Crooks wrote at one point that even the White House could be overwhelmed if enough Americans took up arms.

00:05:34.440 And Willie Tepes is aware of all this.

00:05:35.840 And instead of expressing concern, he encourages Crooks to go to war.

00:05:41.040 Now, is it possible that this is just some random Internet troll? 0.58

00:05:45.620 Yeah.

00:05:46.820 It's also possible that Willie Tepes was working with a government agency or a terror cell,

00:05:51.540 either in this country or some other country, to groom potential assassins.

00:05:55.600 In fact, given how weird Willie's comments were, and to be clear, he replied to Crooks multiple times,

00:06:02.040 it seems very likely that he was trying to groom Thomas Crooks.

00:06:06.560 So what has the FBI done to investigate this, to investigate Willie Tepes?

00:06:12.480 What have they done to figure out his identity?

00:06:15.440 Why is Tucker's show the first time, literally the first time,

00:06:18.120 that anyone in this country has heard the name Willie Tepes?

00:06:21.260 That is inexcusable for about a million different reasons.

00:06:25.700 It's not the FBI's job to determine what information is worth sharing to the public

00:06:30.020 or what information they deem is important.

00:06:34.000 Now, when it comes to the near assassination of the leading presidential candidate,

00:06:38.620 no detail is irrelevant.

00:06:41.480 If Thomas Crooks went bowling every week, we should know that.

00:06:44.820 If Thomas Crooks loved the film Good Will Hunting, we should know that.

00:06:47.920 And certainly, if he was in regular communication with an anonymous person

00:06:51.680 who sounded a lot like a Fed, encouraging him to commit acts of violence,

00:06:55.520 we should know that too.

00:06:57.900 I mean, at the very least, we should know something about this guy.

00:07:02.560 But if the Feds had their way, we wouldn't know anything at all.

00:07:07.740 And that's what we knew, nothing, until this week.

00:07:10.840 Now, on top of that, beyond the transparency issues,

00:07:14.220 it would obviously help the government's investigation to raise awareness about these posts.

00:07:19.700 You know, maybe someone somewhere knows who Willie Tepes is.

00:07:24.180 And as long as Willie Tepes isn't the alias for a CIA agent or something like that,

00:07:28.340 then you'd think your government would want someone to come forward and identify him immediately.

00:07:33.060 But that's not possible if they bury his identity and all information about him,

00:07:37.040 which is what they've done.

00:07:37.840 Then there's the fact that Crooks' PayPal account, for one reason or another,

00:07:42.740 uses the name of an ex-FBI agent who worked in Pennsylvania

00:07:45.860 and who investigated the Las Vegas mass shooting,

00:07:48.860 the one where no motive has ever been established.

00:07:52.720 What exactly is going on there?

00:07:54.520 We have no idea.

00:07:55.340 Because again, this is the first time anyone's hearing about any of this.

00:07:59.580 Our government, under both the Biden administration and the Trump administration,

00:08:03.060 made the conscious decision to hide all of this information from us.

00:08:09.160 The only reason we're hearing about it now is that a random source got in contact with Tucker Carlson's team

00:08:14.440 and tipped him off to Crooks' online history.

00:08:17.940 And because this information remains uncontested by the FBI several days after Tucker Carlson's broadcast,

00:08:23.580 we can assume that it's all true.

00:08:25.420 So let's pause for a minute here and zoom out.

00:08:30.020 Let's really think about what's happening.

00:08:32.760 Okay, this is the official narrative.

00:08:36.060 Last summer, Thomas Crooks, supposedly an untrained 20-year-old guy

00:08:40.280 with an angry, inconsistent social media history,

00:08:43.680 managed to outwit the Secret Service,

00:08:46.620 gain access to a roof 500 feet away from Donald Trump.

00:08:51.360 And he wasn't particularly subtle about it.

00:08:53.620 I mean, as you can see here in the videos that we've all seen,

00:08:57.120 he was clearly visible running across the rooftop as Trump spoke,

00:09:01.600 but the Secret Service didn't notice him.

00:09:04.500 Even though random attendees in the crowd were suspicious,

00:09:08.500 they noticed it, notified law enforcement.

00:09:12.120 Somehow the Secret Service didn't have anyone on the roof

00:09:14.120 because it was too sloped, we were told.

00:09:17.380 And somehow the Secret Service counter-snipers couldn't see any of this.

00:09:20.420 They only shot Thomas Crooks after he unloaded several shots at Donald Trump,

00:09:25.140 including a shot that hit Trump in the head.

00:09:26.660 And coincidentally enough, the rally in Butler was the first time

00:09:30.360 that the Secret Service had deployed counter-snipers to a Trump rally

00:09:34.280 during the 2024 campaign season.

00:09:36.520 So yes, the Secret Service snipers made their debut at the Butler rally

00:09:40.100 just in time to neutralize Thomas Crooks after he got his shots off.

00:09:44.660 So in a very tidy fashion, Thomas Crooks was quickly erased from the picture.

00:09:50.720 Nobody could question him.

00:09:52.440 Nobody could put him on trial.

00:09:54.680 And then a funny thing happened.

00:09:56.160 No one really investigated Thomas Crooks.

00:09:59.020 No one told us anything about his social media posts,

00:10:01.860 his political views,

00:10:03.380 beyond the claim that he was a Trump supporter, which was false.

00:10:06.400 It took more than a year for us to learn that, in fact,

00:10:09.800 Thomas Crooks was openly promising to commit violence on social media

00:10:12.860 and that someone was encouraging him to do that.

00:10:15.820 But the story gets even more strange from here.

00:10:19.420 Less than 48 hours after Tucker's reporting,

00:10:23.780 out of nowhere, the New York Post published this exclusive information.

00:10:27.720 Thomas Crooks used they, them pronouns and posted threats of political violence

00:10:32.940 and violent art on his secret social media accounts

00:10:35.820 before he attempted to assassinate President Trump,

00:10:38.100 according to sources who shared the suspected messages with the Post.

00:10:41.780 Crooks had two possible accounts on DeviantArt,

00:10:44.520 a site that hosts fan art,

00:10:46.700 and has become notorious for its community of furries,

00:10:48.880 people who identify as anthropomorphized animal characters

00:10:51.960 and or are sexually attracted to them.

00:10:54.360 One of the DeviantArt accounts linked to Crooks shared just one post,

00:10:57.400 a repost of a towering, muscular female bodybuilder 1.00

00:11:00.920 and a slight man in his underwear.

00:11:04.800 Separately, the Post, Miranda Devine reported that Crooks, quote,

00:11:08.220 had an obsession with scantily clad cartoon characters

00:11:10.880 sporting muscle-bound male bodies and female heads.

00:11:16.800 Okay, so this seems to be a clear-cut case of

00:11:19.900 yet another psychologically disturbed mass shooter, 0.70

00:11:22.660 someone who has been indoctrinated into the LGBT cult. 0.89

00:11:27.400 And then turning to violence.

00:11:29.980 Which is not a particularly surprising development.

00:11:31.920 As I've said repeatedly, the LGBT cult is the single greatest domestic terror threat 1.00

00:11:35.680 that this country faces, hands down.

00:11:39.200 I mean, in just the past few years,

00:11:40.500 trans-identifying terrorists have shot up multiple Christian churches and schools.

00:11:44.640 Quote-unquote non-binary mass shooters have targeted high schools and bars. 0.90

00:11:48.060 A leftist living with a furry trans person assassinated Charlie Kirk in front of thousands of people. 0.96

00:11:55.340 And now we have this.

00:11:56.220 Put simply, trans-extremism, LGBT extremism, is an epidemic.

00:12:00.340 And the pattern of trans and, quote-unquote, non-binary violence, 0.99

00:12:04.580 you know, is not at all surprising, even though the media tries to cover it up.

00:12:07.660 I mean, any man who identifies as a woman or as a they-them 1.00

00:12:11.080 is mentally unstable and confused by definition. 0.64

00:12:16.180 It seems nearly certain that all these people are on psychiatric meds.

00:12:22.220 A lot of them were probably on hormones.

00:12:25.240 So there's connections there that could be drawn.

00:12:27.720 There's more we could be investigating there.

00:12:30.880 And there's another common theme here as well, 0.74

00:12:33.300 which is that all of these violent LGBT shooters 1.00

00:12:36.480 probably develop their gender identity from consuming hundreds of hours of porn. 0.67

00:12:41.940 I mean, that's the other commonality that you find with these types of things. 0.76

00:12:46.220 The gender stuff is the product of extreme nihilism and extreme perversion. 1.00

00:12:51.240 And a steady, long-term diet of pornography turns anyone into a nihilist pervert. 0.50

00:12:56.860 And it's not a far leap to get from that to murderer.

00:13:04.920 Especially if you have mysterious people in your comments saying,

00:13:07.420 hey, maybe you should rise up and go to war against the government.

00:13:14.100 That's why it's not exactly shocking to hear that Thomas Crooks was also a member

00:13:17.040 of the they-them cult who regularly consumed various degenerate forms of media. 0.82

00:13:22.300 I mean, at this point, you almost expect the investigation to uncover something like this.

00:13:25.760 Thomas Crooks is yet another violent LGBT-linked killer 1.00

00:13:29.620 to add to a very disturbing and fast-growing list.

00:13:33.620 Now, there were some concerns expressed by some commentators

00:13:36.220 that perhaps this revelation was an intentional diversion,

00:13:39.340 diversion, maybe a targeted leak intended to distract us

00:13:42.280 from the investigation that Tucker Carlson just published,

00:13:44.520 which does seem like something the FBI might try to do.

00:13:47.380 But that's not what happened in this case.

00:13:49.480 Miranda Devine has made it clear that her source is the same as Tucker's.

00:13:53.740 And the information did not come from the FBI.

00:13:57.380 Devine also provided more information on the Willy Tepes character,

00:14:00.240 who was first identified by Tucker Carlson.

00:14:01.960 Here's what Devine wrote.

00:14:02.740 One of the people Crooks interacted with online was Willy Tepes,

00:14:07.780 a member of Norwegian neo-Nazi group the Nordic Resistance Movement,

00:14:12.280 which has since been designated a terrorist organization by the State Department.

00:14:15.740 In one comment on October 5th, 2025, more than a year after Butler,

00:14:19.780 Tepes commented to another user that he'd been contacted by both Russian and American intelligence.

00:14:25.080 People who ask you to contact them when they just as easily could contact you are feds.

00:14:28.920 This is how they avoid entrapment.

00:14:31.280 Both American and Russian intelligence does this.

00:14:34.380 I have chatted to both, Tepes said.

00:14:38.580 So there are only two possibilities here.

00:14:40.600 The first possibility is that we're seeing a monumental, unforgivable failure by the FBI,

00:14:46.440 a degree of incompetence that's simply staggering.

00:14:49.600 Maybe they missed all these chats.

00:14:51.960 Maybe they didn't think it was relevant.

00:14:53.280 Just never got around to releasing them. 0.95

00:14:57.500 So they're left to respond with pathetic, rapid response press releases

00:15:01.120 when Tucker Carlson and Miranda Devine published investigative reports a year later. 0.75

00:15:04.780 That's the best case scenario.

00:15:08.080 That is the absolute best case scenario we're dealing with.

00:15:12.000 The worst case scenario is almost too dark to say out loud, but I'll try my best.

00:15:17.360 The worst case scenario is that the FBI has been hiding all this information about Thomas Crooks

00:15:22.020 for the same reason that the Secret Service, supposedly the most elite protective force in the entire world,

00:15:27.300 failed to secure the slightly sloped roof 400 feet away from Donald Trump

00:15:31.180 with a direct line of sight to his head.

00:15:33.820 The worst case scenario is that the leadership of our intelligence agencies

00:15:36.680 wanted Donald Trump dead.

00:15:41.280 And if that's the case, then there's no reason to think that 0.91

00:15:43.760 they're going to stop trying to kill him.

00:15:47.160 Now, it's not my job or your job to decide between these two scenarios.

00:15:50.740 It's the job of our government, out of an abundance of transparency,

00:15:54.760 to absolve itself completely of any responsibility in the attempt to murder Donald Trump.

00:16:01.700 They should be telling us everything they know,

00:16:04.020 even if they don't think their information is relevant.

00:16:07.720 But our government hasn't done that.

00:16:10.960 And for that reason, it's not insane or paranoid to assume the worst,

00:16:14.940 or at least to consider it a very real possibility.

00:16:18.700 For one reason or another, we are not being told the whole story.

00:16:22.600 Or even an incomplete story.

00:16:25.920 And it's way past time for us to ask one question.

00:16:29.500 Why?

00:16:31.660 Now let's get to our five heaven.

00:16:32.720 We all know costs keep going up.

00:16:40.460 Groceries, gas, subscriptions, you name it.

00:16:42.500 We're at a point where we assume everything is going to be really expensive.

00:16:45.320 Case in point, 72% of Americans overestimate what life insurance costs.

00:19:11.300 Let's get back to the table.

00:19:13.400 Daily Wire reports.

00:19:14.140 Once the Senate on Tuesday unanimously voted to release documents related to the late financier

00:19:18.680 and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein just hours after the House passed the same bill,

00:19:24.000 Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced on X that he received the unanimous consent

00:19:27.460 to approve the Senate bill to release the Epstein files.

00:19:31.080 Once the House sends the bill to the upper chamber, it will immediately go to President Trump

00:19:34.660 for his signature, which he has said he would give it.

00:19:42.080 And this is the bill that will compel the release of the files.

00:19:44.420 So the Epstein files will be released.

00:19:46.980 That's a good thing, obviously.

00:19:49.180 Needed to happen.

00:19:51.280 You know, let the sunlight in.

00:19:52.880 Transparency.

00:19:53.520 Let us see for ourselves.

00:19:55.840 Kind of the theme here.

00:19:56.860 Going back to the opening we just talked about.

00:19:58.880 So this is what needed to happen.

00:20:01.160 It's probably also the worst way that it could have happened.

00:20:06.540 It would have been much better if the DOJ had done what it promised it would do

00:20:10.380 and just started releasing the files in an orderly and organized and thoughtful manner

00:20:15.220 back a year ago.

00:20:18.320 And if they had done that, then we would have seen everything a long time ago by now.

00:20:24.320 And this wouldn't be something that the White House has to talk about anymore.

00:20:28.880 But, you know, now they're going to have to dump them all at once.

00:20:32.640 So be it.

00:20:34.300 And we'll see what happens from there.

00:20:37.720 You know, I'm very skeptical that there will be anything explosive in these files.

00:20:42.720 If I were a betting man, I'd bet on this being a massive disappointment.

00:20:46.740 I would bet on something very anticlimactic.

00:20:50.440 Personally, my strong guess is that anything that actually incriminates a powerful or famous

00:20:56.040 person has already been destroyed a long time ago.

00:20:58.880 Like if Bill Gates were incriminated in the files, just hypothetically, for example, that

00:21:05.600 material is long gone.

00:21:06.680 I mean, that's my guess.

00:21:08.340 Could be wrong.

00:21:10.380 And now we find out.

00:21:12.540 Politically, what makes this whole saga so incredibly frustrating is that, you know, it's a big win

00:21:17.860 for the Democrats.

00:21:19.160 It just is.

00:21:20.060 Well, let's face it.

00:21:20.760 Thomas Massey pushed this thing through.

00:21:24.480 Marjorie Taylor Greene as well.

00:21:26.180 It's a win for them.

00:21:26.840 But even more so politically, the Democrats could have done this already.

00:21:30.300 They could have done it when they were in power.

00:21:34.700 They had the ability to do it.

00:21:36.100 Now, some people have said to me, I was talking about this on X yesterday, and there was a

00:21:40.260 bunch of comments.

00:21:42.860 I guess the leftists have settled on their, finally settled on their answer to that because

00:21:47.900 they didn't really have an answer.

00:21:48.800 Yeah, I've been saying this the whole time, like, why didn't the Democrats, now they're

00:21:53.300 pretending, oh, we got to release the files.

00:21:55.040 Why aren't they released?

00:21:55.740 Well, why didn't you do it?

00:21:58.100 Why didn't you do it?

00:21:59.400 And there was really no answer to that.

00:22:01.060 Finally, they settled on it.

00:22:02.000 They said, I saw a bunch of comments saying, well, a judge didn't unseal the records until

00:22:08.540 January of 2024 after the Maxwell trial.

00:22:13.620 So they couldn't have.

00:22:14.740 Okay, well, even if I buy that excuse, January of 2024, last I checked, that's a year before

00:22:24.460 Biden's term came to an end.

00:22:28.640 So even by the most generous interpretation, they had a year to do it, and they didn't.

00:22:36.520 They didn't even talk about doing it.

00:22:38.640 They didn't even mention it.

00:22:40.000 It wasn't like it was a thing they were trying to do and for some reason couldn't, and I don't

00:22:43.320 know how that.

00:22:44.740 It just, it never came up.

00:22:47.400 Even if we want, even if we want to pretend that, oh, records were sealed and they couldn't

00:22:51.000 prior to that, there was no effort.

00:22:52.740 Like, no one was talking about it.

00:22:54.080 It wasn't a thing.

00:22:55.560 Democrats weren't, Democrats were not discussing it at all, at all.

00:23:01.040 There was no pressure on them to do it.

00:23:02.540 The Epstein victims, they were not, as far as I remember, they weren't doing press conferences

00:23:06.780 outside the Capitol.

00:23:07.700 You know, they put out this PSA.

00:23:10.500 A lot of the Epstein victims put out a PSA to start the week.

00:23:14.600 And that was going viral.

00:23:16.480 A lot of people say, oh, it's a very powerful PSA.

00:23:19.080 And yeah, it is powerful.

00:23:20.140 Well, but again, why are you just doing this now?

00:23:23.920 Why didn't you do that before?

00:23:26.700 Biden was in office for four years.

00:23:28.360 We didn't, like, we didn't hear from most of these people.

00:23:30.480 They were not coming out.

00:23:31.720 So I know, you know, one of my questions about the Epstein victims, a lot of people had the

00:23:35.980 same question, which is, you know, they're doing press conferences, say, hey, put the

00:23:39.020 files out.

00:23:41.040 And many of us, I think it's a logical question, which is, well, why don't, well, just tell us.

00:23:48.100 Yeah, let's put the files out.

00:23:49.400 But if you know who the culprits are, just tell us, tell us who they are.

00:23:55.820 And the response to that has been, well, if they do that, they're going to get sued into

00:24:01.300 the ground by all of these famous evil people.

00:24:04.460 Okay, I can buy that.

00:24:07.460 But then that goes back to the other question of, well, why weren't, why did this pressure

00:24:11.280 campaign not start back in the Biden administration?

00:24:15.500 Why did we wait?

00:24:16.340 Why was there this, like, dead zone during the Biden administration?

00:24:19.720 No one on the left is talking about Epstein at all, at all.

00:24:25.120 And then as soon as Biden is out, then they're all like, we got to release the files.

00:24:30.640 So why is that the case?

00:24:33.320 Well, I mean, this is all a rhetorical question.

00:24:35.880 We know the answer.

00:24:36.780 This is all, it's all politics for the Democrats anyway.

00:24:43.080 So when Trump says that the Epstein issue is a Democrat hoax, he's correct in the sense 1.00

00:24:48.940 that the Democrat concern about Epstein is a hoax.

00:24:54.920 The hoax is that they care about Epstein when they obviously don't, and they never did.

00:25:01.660 So that's the quote unquote hoax.

00:25:04.480 The files themselves are not a hoax, obviously.

00:25:07.500 I mean, they're going to release a whole bunch of files.

00:25:09.520 The things exist.

00:25:10.200 They're not a hoax.

00:25:10.700 The fact that Epstein was a global pedophile sex trafficker with a lot of very high profile

00:25:17.200 and powerful and famous associates, that's not a hoax.

00:25:21.240 But this is a point that Trump never made clearly because he botched this thing.

00:25:27.200 And what makes his bungling all the more baffling is that, you know, I don't believe that he's

00:25:33.100 hiding his own involvement with Epstein.

00:25:35.060 I don't think that there's anything in the files about Trump that will incriminate him

00:25:39.820 and that he's trying to hide.

00:25:40.740 Because if Trump was truly incriminated in the files, we would have seen it by now.

00:25:45.920 There's just no way that that would have stayed secret through four years of the Biden administration,

00:25:51.580 especially as they were actively trying to destroy Trump and put him in jail.

00:25:54.740 So the idea that they had something, they had this in their back pocket the whole time

00:25:59.700 and didn't use it is really, really hard to believe.

00:26:04.260 So I don't think that Trump reacted the way he did to this Epstein issue for that reason.

00:26:10.540 I think it's just he didn't understand how important this issue is to his own base.

00:26:15.920 Massively underestimated how important this issue is to the base.

00:26:22.240 And not just to the base, but in general, the issue is very important.

00:26:27.300 And so now it's all going to come out and we'll see.

00:26:33.920 And we've talked a lot about Dearborn, Michigan, which has been turned into an Islamic capital.

00:26:37.960 Well, here's the mayor of Dearborn, whose name is, of course, Abdullah Hamoud.

00:26:44.280 Good old-fashioned American name.

00:26:46.220 He's on some kind of podcast, I think.

00:26:50.100 And here's what he has to say about the concept of assimilation.

00:26:54.240 Listen.

00:26:54.380 Because what you often hear that's accompanied with that is, well, you must assimilate.

00:27:00.980 I shouldn't put out a magazine that's in two languages.

00:27:03.580 Why can't you speak English?

00:27:04.920 Why are my videos subtitled in Arabic?

00:27:07.280 Why is my caption both in English and Arabic?

00:27:09.420 People get frustrated by this.

00:27:11.300 But to me, it's like I actually disavow the use of the term the melting pot.

00:27:16.540 I actually don't like it.

00:27:17.760 Why?

00:27:17.980 Because in a melting pot, when you're talking about like a soup, everything looks the same.

00:27:21.580 Right.

00:27:22.420 We're the salad bowl.

00:27:24.160 The lettuce is lettuce.

00:27:25.360 The tomato is tomato.

00:27:26.300 The cucumber is cucumber.

00:27:27.720 And they all complement each other.

00:27:30.000 Yeah.

00:27:30.240 So profound.

00:27:31.080 A salad bowl.

00:27:32.160 And he's disavowing assimilation, disavowing melting the melting pot.

00:27:38.340 Not just saying that he doesn't value assimilation, but that he openly disavows it, which is all

00:27:47.380 the proof that you should need that illegal immigration is not the only problem, or even

00:27:53.500 the biggest problem, because this guy, Mohamed Amoud, whatever his name is, he's a legal citizen.

00:28:01.920 He's actually second generation.

00:28:03.500 He was born here.

00:28:07.720 And yet he hates this country, wants to undermine our national identity and our national sovereignty.

00:28:13.600 And he is in pretty much every way more harmful, a bigger problem than most illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:28:21.100 So, you know, the, the, the rot goes pretty deep here.

00:28:26.540 And, and by the way, I don't like all these food analogies for America, melting pot, salad

00:28:32.040 bowl, soup, stew, whatever.

00:28:35.740 America is a country and a country just doesn't have enough in common with an entree to make

00:28:41.700 the, or, or, you know, appetizer, doesn't have enough in common with a food item to make

00:28:46.900 the analogy useful, I think, but since he brought it up, let's, let's think about this.

00:28:56.160 He says, we don't need assimilation.

00:28:58.780 America is a salad bowl and each part of the salad exists as its own thing, but it all works

00:29:05.060 together somehow.

00:29:06.740 Well, what's interesting about that is that, you know, if America is a salad bowl, okay,

00:29:14.160 we still need assimilation, I don't know what kind of salads they're making in the Abdullah 1.00

00:29:19.920 household, but salad is not like a, a, a meal where you just take a bowl and throw literally

00:29:28.940 anything into it at all.

00:29:31.380 Okay.

00:29:31.880 That's not what a salad is.

00:29:32.760 A salad is not just any random items thrown into a bowl and then you eat it.

00:29:37.240 So imagine a salad with lettuce, olives, watermelon, cheese, walnuts, carrots, ham, strawberries,

00:29:56.060 goat cheese, just, you know, now these are all components of salads.

00:30:01.580 These are things that you will see in a salad.

00:30:04.120 They're not the components of the same salad.

00:30:08.260 Okay.

00:30:08.820 Put them in the same, have, you could make like a bunch of different salads with all those 0.70

00:30:14.660 different components, but to make one salad with those components is you're like schizophrenic.

00:30:20.240 You end up with something grotesque, something revolting.

00:30:23.900 All these components that could make good salads.

00:30:26.740 If, if you're into salads, which I'm not all together, make a really terrible salad.

00:30:33.620 The, the taste profile doesn't make any sense.

00:30:36.620 They don't harmonize.

00:30:37.680 The flavors don't harmonize.

00:30:39.660 Um, so you in fact, cannot just put anything in a salad and expect that the salad is going

00:30:46.080 to taste good or even be edible.

00:30:47.320 That's just not how salads work.

00:30:50.260 Would you ever go to a restaurant and order a salad that has just anything in it?

00:30:58.040 Okay.

00:30:58.360 What if there was a salad on the menu that said, uh, anything salad?

00:31:02.300 And you asked the waiter, he said, what, what's that salad?

00:31:04.500 And they say, oh, it's anything.

00:31:06.060 What do you mean anything?

00:31:07.600 Well, yeah, they just put anything in it.

00:31:09.120 Like we, they say they take anything that's in the kitchen.

00:31:12.160 They just throw it in there.

00:31:13.300 Anything at all.

00:31:14.380 Yeah.

00:31:14.580 It doesn't matter.

00:31:15.460 Any food.

00:31:15.980 Would you order that salad?

00:31:19.000 Would anyone order it?

00:31:20.960 Or would you order a salad that's more harmonized, more assimilated, where the flavors make sense

00:31:27.040 and they're in the right proportion?

00:31:29.980 I mean, even the best salads have ethnicities, Greek salad, for example.

00:31:36.540 So I don't want to get hung up on salads here.

00:31:38.820 I don't even like salads, but this does tell you something, right?

00:31:41.900 Because the, the anti-assimilation crowd, the people who say that America has no identity.

00:31:50.380 Remember it was, uh, Jenna Welsh last week said, America has no culture except multiculturalism.

00:31:58.300 Has no culture.

00:31:59.360 Multiculturalism is the culture.

00:32:00.420 Well, it's the same idea, right?

00:32:02.300 No assimilation. 0.77

00:32:02.920 The people who have that view, they actually can't come up with any analogy to make their

00:32:11.340 point.

00:32:12.880 That's a pretty good indication that you have a bad argument or a bad position is if there's

00:32:17.580 no analogy that will help to illustrate your point.

00:32:20.720 If you're making a point that has no analogy, no logical analogy.

00:32:28.400 And so that's kind of the significance of the salad.

00:32:31.560 It's like, there is, there is no, there is no context in life anywhere where you would

00:32:39.740 ever say that a thing can be improved by just throwing stuff into it randomly, right?

00:32:47.120 There is no food dish.

00:32:48.820 There's no, uh, organization.

00:32:51.540 There's no style of music.

00:32:54.300 There's no ecosystem.

00:32:55.840 There's no recipe.

00:32:57.160 There's nothing, nothing in existence where you would ever recommend that you just add things

00:33:03.240 to it randomly without, without trying to harmonize them with the other components.

00:33:10.740 Nowhere else, nowhere else and nothing else.

00:33:14.880 I disavow assimilation would not be a statement that anyone would utter anywhere about anything

00:33:24.480 else in any context at all.

00:33:28.180 I'm talking about the full scale of existence.

00:33:31.960 There is nothing in existence anywhere where you would ever say that, yeah, well, it doesn't

00:33:37.060 really matter.

00:33:37.520 Just throw, just, yeah, whatever, but just put everything in randomly.

00:33:40.360 Similarly, assimilation, harmonizing the components, like, and also having an idea of what this

00:33:49.080 thing is you're trying to do, whatever it is, whether it's a dish, it's a song, it's

00:33:52.920 a country, it's an organization.

00:33:56.060 Here's the identity of what this thing is supposed to be and whatever components we put into it,

00:34:00.820 they have to work together.

00:34:01.760 That's assimilation. 0.82

00:34:02.500 And that is a fundamental step in making anything work, anything.

00:34:09.060 If you're building an engine or you're making a lasagna, I don't care.

00:34:13.400 Or you're making a country.

00:34:15.420 It's a fundamental step in making anything work, literally anything.

00:34:20.120 And yet we're supposed to believe that this country, not even like countries, but this

00:34:29.840 country is the one exception in all the universe, amid all that exists or has ever existed, the

00:34:39.440 United States is the one place where assimilation doesn't matter. 0.83

00:34:45.780 Really?

00:34:46.340 So we defy, like, the basic laws of reality?

00:34:51.600 We exist in some kind of magical, supernatural zone where a strategy that would not work in

00:34:58.020 any other context for anything else ever at all works for us?

00:35:02.080 Really?

00:35:04.940 I mean, if that's what you believe, contrary to all evidence, then be honest about it.

00:35:10.320 Don't tell me about salads, whereas we've established, no, you wouldn't do that with a salad.

00:35:21.300 There's no analogy.

00:35:22.300 So just be honest.

00:35:22.940 Say, you know what?

00:35:25.380 I think America is an exception to everything that has ever existed in the universe.

00:35:34.580 And so America is the one context where it doesn't matter who someone is or what they want

00:35:41.480 to do or what they're all about or anything at all.

00:35:44.280 Just throw everyone together and it'll work.

00:35:49.000 And be honest about that.

00:35:50.460 Like, that's what you think.

00:35:51.740 That's what you believe.

00:35:52.480 Or be even more honest and say, no, I know this doesn't work, obviously.

00:35:59.980 I know that clearly you need assimilation. 1.00

00:36:02.720 I know that you destroy the country when you just throw everybody into it and say, good luck.

00:36:08.960 But I want the country to be destroyed.

00:36:12.500 That's the real honor.

00:36:13.560 That's the actual honest position that these people will never say out loud or will only

00:36:18.980 rarely say out loud.

00:36:20.180 On a similar note, here's the new mayor of New York, Zoran Mamdani, and he had some

00:36:26.780 interesting thoughts to share.

00:36:29.560 Watch.

00:36:30.800 You said you would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu based on the 2024 International Court Arrest

00:36:37.000 Warrant.

00:36:37.920 Next UN General Assembly, as mayor, would you do that?

00:36:41.940 So I've said time and again that I believe this is a city of international law.

00:36:46.160 And being a city of international law means looking to uphold international law.

00:36:49.520 And that means upholding the warrants from the International Criminal Court, whether they're

00:36:52.920 for Benjamin Netanyahu or Vladimir Putin.

00:36:54.880 I think that that's critically important to showcase our values.

00:36:57.600 And unlike Donald Trump, I'm someone who looks to exist within the confines of the laws

00:37:01.720 that we have.

00:37:02.280 So I will look to exhaust every legal possibility not to create my own laws to do so.

00:37:06.720 On the other hand, this is also a world event.

00:37:09.600 Does that not count a little bit?

00:37:12.780 Well, I think we are a global city, but I also think what New Yorkers are looking for

00:37:16.600 is consistency in the way in which we talk about our values and follow through on them.

00:37:20.060 And that's why I think these warrants from the International Criminal Court, they are worth

00:37:23.140 fully exploring every legal possibility to actually follow through on.

00:37:26.440 So he says a city of international law, which might be one of the craziest things we've ever

00:37:31.900 heard a mayor say.

00:37:33.140 You're going to abide by international law.

00:37:35.540 You're the mayor of an American city.

00:37:37.240 International law has nothing to do with it.

00:37:39.600 International law isn't real anyway, okay?

00:37:43.660 It doesn't exist.

00:37:45.060 It's a, like, what is international law?

00:37:48.300 It's a fiction.

00:37:49.300 It's a story that we tell ourselves.

00:37:51.140 It's not a real thing.

00:37:53.100 There can't be any international law because there's no international lawmaker or lawgiver.

00:37:58.740 There's no legislative body that just makes laws for the world.

00:38:04.440 Doesn't work that way.

00:38:05.400 There's no international police force that can enforce these fake laws.

00:38:10.200 So the laws don't exist.

00:38:11.400 Countries comply with the fiction of international law if they want to.

00:38:15.160 And if they don't, they don't.

00:38:16.940 It's really up to that.

00:38:18.120 It's like, well, okay, well, yeah, we'll go along with pretending this is a thing or we won't.

00:38:22.140 Which means that the whole thing is, I mean, it's at best a kind of set of standards or expectations, but with no real enforceability and no real jurisdiction.

00:38:32.740 There's no governing body with legal jurisdiction over the planet.

00:38:38.220 That doesn't exist.

00:38:39.260 It's just international law is fake.

00:38:40.940 It's a thing we make up because we don't want to admit the truth, which is that the only thing governing the world on an international level is force, violence.

00:38:55.100 That's the only law of the world and always has been.

00:38:59.520 A country can do whatever it wants as long as they can overpower whoever tries to stop them from doing it.

00:39:05.440 That's it.

00:39:05.860 That's the whole law, okay?

00:39:06.760 You want to know the law of nations?

00:39:09.140 You want to know international law?

00:39:10.860 As a country, you can do whatever you want as long as you're able to overpower anyone who tries to stop you from doing it.

00:39:16.840 That's it.

00:39:17.540 That's the whole thing.

00:39:18.960 That's all there is to it.

00:39:20.680 That's the international law.

00:39:21.900 It always has been, always will be.

00:39:23.760 It will never change.

00:39:24.520 Now, there are moral laws that hold for all people in all nations.

00:39:34.100 They can be ignored, obviously.

00:39:35.440 People do all the time.

00:39:37.000 So, morality is not subjective, but this idea of international law, it's like, it doesn't mean anything.

00:39:46.940 Now, the laws of our nation, on the other hand, those are real.

00:39:49.600 And the only laws that the mayor of New York should be concerned about are the laws of this country and of his state and his city.

00:40:01.480 To say that international law supersedes American law is traitorous.

00:40:08.380 I mean, it's like actually an insurrection.

00:40:13.040 Okay, if we took our own laws seriously as a country, then he would be out of office right now.

00:40:18.240 Like, that's it.

00:40:18.760 You should be gone.

00:40:20.200 Okay, you had about 10 seconds in office.

00:40:21.780 You're gone now.

00:40:23.300 What are you talking about?

00:40:24.200 International law.

00:40:25.220 This is a city.

00:40:25.660 No, this is not a city of international law.

00:40:28.020 This is an American city, period.

00:40:30.900 And if you don't understand that or you're actively plotting to undermine that or destroy that, you should be out of office and in jail right now.

00:40:40.000 That's what should happen.

00:40:43.720 Okay, quickly, this is the last Michelle Obama clip that we'll play on the show for a while, I promise.

00:40:50.320 I might be lying.

00:40:51.140 But right now, that's my truth right now.

00:40:54.940 That's the truth.

00:40:55.880 That's my truth.

00:40:56.920 We're not going to play another clip for a while.

00:40:58.500 But here she is, still on her book tour, I think, complaining about white people again.

00:41:06.040 Listen.

00:41:06.280 Don't worry about it. 0.55

00:41:08.760 Let me explain something to white people. 0.70

00:41:12.060 Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern.

00:41:16.380 So, when we're straightening it to follow your beauty standards, we are trapped by the straightness.

00:41:23.600 That's why so many of us can't swim.

00:41:26.240 And we run away from the water.

00:41:29.020 People won't go to the gym because we're trying to keep our hair straight for y'all.

00:41:35.740 It is exhausting and it's so expensive and it takes up so much time.

00:41:40.900 Braids are for y'all so we can work harder and focus on the work.

00:41:47.340 So, why do we need an act, an act of law to tell white folks to get out of our hair? 0.68

00:41:55.140 Don't tell me how to wear my hair.

00:41:59.840 Don't wonder about it.

00:42:02.160 Don't touch it.

00:42:04.660 Just don't.

00:42:08.020 All right.

00:42:10.480 Michelle, well, listen, Michelle, I got good news for you.

00:42:14.820 Listen very carefully.

00:42:16.420 We don't care at all about your hair or really anything else about you.

00:42:23.920 We especially don't care about your hair.

00:42:26.300 We've never thought about it.

00:42:28.620 If I could speak for all white people, you know, we just had a meeting.

00:42:32.940 We had a big white person meeting and they appointed me spokesman.

00:42:39.120 And we all agreed.

00:42:40.560 This was unanimous.

00:42:41.780 We took a vote.

00:42:43.540 Does anyone care about Michelle Obama's hair?

00:42:46.840 And the nays have it. 0.77

00:42:48.760 No, no one does.

00:42:50.320 Nobody cares about your hair. 0.99

00:42:51.000 This is a consistent theme with these black female race hustlers that they're constantly 1.00

00:42:55.420 talking about their hair and all the pressure they face from white people to wear their hair 0.96

00:43:00.520 a certain way.

00:43:01.680 And meanwhile, every white person is looking around like, what?

00:43:06.040 We don't.

00:43:08.000 Do what you want.

00:43:09.200 We don't care.

00:43:10.260 No white person in the history of white people has ever cared about or given a second thought 0.85

00:43:14.300 to a black woman's hair. 0.99

00:43:16.440 Michelle Obama imagines that we're all just like seething all the time.

00:43:20.960 And it's not just her.

00:43:21.580 I mean, you heard the reaction in the audience.

00:43:24.520 Right?

00:43:25.840 You heard the reaction in the audience.

00:43:27.120 Yes, finally someone's saying it.

00:43:28.800 Finally, a black woman is talking about her hair and expressing this weird hang-up she has 1.00

00:43:40.460 about her hair.

00:43:41.060 Finally!

00:43:44.060 It had been 15 seconds since the last one.

00:43:47.800 So she imagines that we're all laying in bed at night thinking about black women's hair.

00:43:52.620 We're just seething, fists clenched. 1.00

00:43:58.900 Damn it, their hair! 1.00

00:44:01.140 Why is their hair like that? 1.00

00:44:03.320 That's what she thinks we're all doing.

00:44:05.620 And when in reality, we're just going about our day.

00:44:07.580 We're focused on our own problems.

00:44:10.820 Walking down the street.

00:44:13.140 And then Michelle Obama runs up to us and says, hey, you're thinking about my hair, aren't you?

00:44:19.580 No, we're not.

00:44:20.680 You're thinking about my hair.

00:44:22.620 You don't want me to wear my hair like this.

00:44:25.000 I really don't care at all.

00:44:27.460 Please stop yelling at us. 0.96

00:44:29.240 Oh, so now I'm just an angry black woman. 1.00

00:44:30.860 Is that it? 0.94

00:44:33.220 Yeah, actually.

00:44:34.240 A little bit.

00:44:35.160 I mean, you're pretty angry, Michelle, like all the time.

00:44:38.720 You're always angry.

00:44:40.100 So, I don't know.

00:44:42.080 If the shoe fits, wear it. 0.94

00:44:45.960 The real point here, of course, is that Michelle is very bitter towards white people. 0.64

00:44:49.420 Which is kind of amazing, but there's a real lesson in that.

00:44:54.560 I mean, white people lined up to support her husband and to put the both of them into the White House twice.

00:45:03.580 Right?

00:45:04.020 The majority of white people, millions of white people lined up excited to put her and her husband in the White House. 0.74

00:45:14.320 Give them this amazing life. 0.98

00:45:15.760 And she hates white people now even more than she did before that. 0.99

00:45:22.080 So, a real lesson. 0.98

00:45:26.360 There's a lot of lessons there, actually.

00:45:27.840 But none of the lessons have anything to do with Michelle Obama's hair.

00:45:31.400 Let's get to the daily cancellation.

00:45:38.140 You guys have heard me talk about the bearskin hoodie.

00:45:41.160 Well, the smart people are locking in their winter gear now because this is hands down the best time to prep for the coming winter.

00:46:00.720 Micro fleece, 10 pockets with a clean, rugged fit that looks awesome.

00:46:05.720 I think it looks great, which is hard to do.

00:46:09.060 It's hard to make something look good on me, but somehow they pull it off.

00:46:12.200 And also, it's very comfortable and it's got utility.

00:46:15.500 I mean, it's practical as well.

00:46:18.400 So, it combines all the things you want, style, practicality, and comfort.

00:46:22.140 Plus, it zips right into the heavy storm rain jack to become 100% waterproof when you need it.

00:48:13.160 Now, let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:48:14.920 You might think it's difficult to find the single worst post on social media in terms of how poorly it's aged.

00:48:20.200 There have been a lot of posts, probably millions of them, that haven't withstood the test of time very well.

00:48:25.400 You can find posts predicting that Bill Belichick would lead UNC to greatness,

00:48:29.060 since after all, he's a great coach and definitely not rich and famous

00:48:32.220 simply because he had a roster of extremely talented and expensive players.

00:48:35.580 You can also find posts from esteemed experts declaring with absolute confidence

00:48:39.080 the world is going to end in 12 years because of climate change.

00:48:42.960 And a lot of those posts are 12 years old now or more.

00:48:45.740 You can revisit Hillary Clinton's most infamous post,

00:48:47.920 where she wishes herself a happy birthday and declares that she is a future president. 1.00

00:48:51.380 We all remember that one.

00:48:52.500 All of these posts, to varying degrees, have not held up very well.

00:48:56.600 But there's one that, even given this very stiff competition, clearly stands alone.

00:49:02.340 And I'm talking about the following post from a woman named Olivia Newsy,

00:49:06.560 who currently works as an editor for Vanity Fair.

00:49:08.820 And here is the post.

00:49:11.480 Before taking the job at Vanity Fair, she worked at New York Magazine and also the Daily Beast.

00:49:15.800 But a long time ago, back when she was just getting started in the industry in January of 2015,

00:49:20.500 here's what she wrote on Twitter.

00:49:22.540 Quote,

00:49:23.540 Why does Hollywood think female reporters sleep with their sources? 1.00

00:49:27.200 And this was, she was reacting to, I think, House of Cards at the time, the show House of Cards.

00:49:34.220 Well, at the time, it seemed like a pretty safe question for a New York-born, Fordham-educated,

00:49:38.320 up-and-coming liberal journalist to pose on social media.

00:49:41.900 She was calling out all those lazy, cliche-obsessed writers in Hollywood,

00:49:45.920 the ones who don't understand the obvious fundamental truths of the 20th wave of feminism. 0.68

00:49:51.420 It's an absurdity, Olivia stated, to suggest that female journalists sleep with their sources. 1.00

00:49:57.200 In reality, we all know that female journalists get ahead through hard work, 1.00

00:50:01.360 shoe-leather reporting, clever, legit, logical deductions, and, you know, crisp, highly readable prose.

00:50:08.240 That's just a given.

00:50:10.280 Well, fortunately for her bold proclamation, Olivia went on to become a journalist. 0.98

00:50:14.960 And in that capacity, she didn't simply prove the old stereotype true about how women sleep with their sources. 0.66

00:50:22.380 She acted like that stereotype was one of the Ten Commandments. 0.99

00:50:25.420 She went on a one-woman mission, like a horny Rambo, to prove that female reporters only do one thing all day, apparently, 1.00

00:50:35.620 which is sleep with their sources.

00:50:37.920 Now, you probably remember the story that broke last year about Olivia Nuzzi's romantic relationship with RFK Jr.

00:50:43.340 So, it was a clear conflict of interest.

00:50:46.080 Nuzzi had been assigned to cover RFK's campaign.

00:50:49.000 She wrote an article that was highly critical of Joe Biden.

00:50:51.780 And the whole time, she was engaged in some kind of inappropriate relationship with RFK Jr.

00:50:55.680 The details of it are mercifully, have not been disclosed fully, as far as I know.

00:51:01.020 According to Nuzzi, she was involved in a non-physical, personal relationship with RFK Jr.

00:51:05.440 And someone else described the relationship as an emotional and digital in nature, kind of like a Manti Teo situation.

00:51:14.920 Now, whether you find that explanation believable or not, it was obviously a highly embarrassing situation for everybody involved,

00:51:20.640 including Olivia's employer, New York Magazine, which quickly cut her loose. 0.99

00:51:25.260 Now, speaking for myself, naively, I assume that, well, after this embarrassing episode, this scandal,

00:51:34.620 she's in some kind of personal relationship with someone she's supposed to be covering in politics.

00:51:39.240 I thought, well, she's done in the business.

00:51:42.920 She'll flee into obscurity, and she'll have no choice following the revelation that she was getting intimate with RFK Jr.,

00:51:49.580 someone she was assigned to cover in an objective fashion.

00:51:52.400 But apparently, she did not flee into obscurity, nor did she suffer any consequences at all,

00:51:59.500 because journalism has no standards at all.

00:52:02.340 And therefore, she now works at Vanity Fair, and she's apparently coming out with a new book,

00:52:07.160 where she makes herself a hero and victim of her own scandal. 0.76

00:52:12.300 And the book is called American Canto.

00:52:15.060 Now, not to be outdone, her ex-fiancee, Ryan Lizza, just published an expose where he reveals that Olivia

00:52:19.860 also had a sexual relationship with former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann,

00:52:24.920 in addition to, on top of that, former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford in 2020,

00:52:30.200 while she was covering his presidential campaign.

00:52:32.600 So here's what Lizza wrote.

00:52:34.080 I don't do many dramatic readings for romance novels or anything like that, so bear with me here.

00:52:38.660 I'll just read it as it was written.

00:52:41.040 Quote,

00:53:11.040 Unfortunately, the lack of a water tower on our Georgetown's home ruled me out as the notes intended recipient.

00:53:19.860 I flipped to another page and saw a name in the first line of an unfinished love letter to him

00:53:24.160 that included enough details to confirm a physical relationship and the hint of some kind of falling out.

00:53:28.540 My heart stopped when I realized who he was.

00:53:30.760 I looked at the date on her aborted letter to Mark.

00:53:33.700 March 5th, 2020, just a few days ago, I called my agent.

00:53:37.640 We have a big problem, I said.

00:53:38.900 Olivia is sleeping with Mark Sanford.

00:53:41.720 Close quote.

00:53:42.120 And his article stops there.

00:53:45.820 The big M. Night Shyamalan twist ending.

00:53:49.220 Because I think, like, when you're reading it, you're supposed to think that he's talking about RFK Jr.

00:53:54.040 And then it turns out that, no, it's actually a different politician that she was sleeping with.

00:53:59.300 Now, after Ryan Lizza published this article, a lot of people rediscovered this exchange on social media from back in 2019.

00:54:07.360 Olivia wrote,

00:54:08.300 I spent some time in South Carolina with Mark Sanford for New York Magazine.

00:54:11.760 And then somebody writes, hey, he looks happy.

00:54:14.360 And Olivia Newsy replies,

00:54:15.580 I tend to have that effect.

00:54:17.480 Well, now we know what she meant by that.

00:54:21.580 In just case anyone was wondering about that.

00:54:24.380 But Lizza's tell-all didn't stop there.

00:54:26.020 He also wrote this section about Olivia's relationship with Keith Olbermann,

00:54:29.600 which is somehow even more horrifying.

00:54:31.620 Quote,

00:54:31.840 I was used to cleaning up Olivia's messes. 1.00

00:54:34.900 Not that long ago, I had helped her untangle herself from an unusual relationship with Keith Olbermann,

00:54:39.460 the former MSNBC host.

00:54:41.060 She had messaged him out of the blue.

00:54:42.800 We started talking, and soon after, she fled her unhappy home in suburban New Jersey

00:54:46.440 and started living with Keith in Manhattan.

00:54:49.300 He paid for her to attend college,

00:54:51.660 outfitted her in Tom Ford,

00:54:54.020 and some $15,000 worth of Cartier jewelry.

00:54:57.140 Later, he covered her rent

00:54:58.940 and furnished her apartment in a dormant building in the West Village.

00:55:03.000 While Keith, who was 34 years older, was generous,

00:55:06.460 there were strings attached.

00:55:07.640 Olivia had concealed the relationship from me and other friends,

00:55:10.040 but one day she told me everything, too much actually,

00:55:12.740 and together we hatched a plan for her escape. 0.95

00:55:16.440 Now, Keith Olbermann is, of course, a grotesque, angry, bloated blob of a man 0.87

00:55:20.680 who lives alone with his cats and spends his days sitting in a rocking chair, 0.97

00:55:25.700 screaming out the window at random passersby.

00:55:28.440 What Olivia found appealing about a man who looks and sounds like a giant, half-sentient wart,

00:55:34.440 I have no idea.

00:55:36.160 All I know is that Keith and Olivia together must have combined

00:55:39.020 to create the most insufferable combination of human beings ever assembled on Earth.

00:55:43.100 I actually feel bad for the cats that they had to live through that.

00:55:48.220 So in case it's not obvious, just to summarize,

00:55:50.780 this is a classic case of nobody to root for.

00:55:54.000 A lot of very terrible people are cheating and lying and getting away with it scot-free.

00:56:00.220 And it gets even worse when you look at the excerpts

00:56:02.380 that have been posted from Olivia's new book.

00:56:05.100 And here's one of them.

00:56:07.520 Again, I'm not a professional audiobook reader for a dime store romance novel,

00:56:11.120 so I'm going to do my best here.

00:56:12.780 But this is an actual excerpt from this book that just came out,

00:56:17.200 or it's going to come out soon.

00:56:18.720 This is what it says.

00:56:19.600 I mean to tell you of the canyon where voices carried,

00:56:25.560 the place where monsters spoke to me,

00:56:28.380 where I listened,

00:56:29.820 where I found that, as fortune or curse would have it,

00:56:33.220 I knew the language of monsters,

00:56:35.460 where, with news on my tongue and tears in my eyes,

00:56:39.360 the role of town crier I interpret literally,

00:56:42.540 I ran back over the hill to translate for those who could not stomach the thought

00:56:46.460 of standing face-to-face with monsters,

00:56:49.100 but who required knowledge of monsters,

00:56:50.980 as the monsters accrued ever more power,

00:56:53.600 as they revealed or converted ever more monsters among men.

00:56:59.040 Now, I read through that a couple times.

00:57:02.320 Not exactly clear what she's talking about.

00:57:05.920 What I can say for certain is that Olivia Nuzzi's book 0.85

00:57:09.660 is clearly self-serious, pretentious,

00:57:15.500 melodramatic, in the extreme,

00:57:17.640 and very poorly written.

00:57:20.900 Okay, news on my tongue and tears in my eyes.

00:57:25.360 I mean, oh my gosh.

00:57:28.420 And somehow that made it past an editor.

00:57:30.500 I mean, do editors exist anymore?

00:57:32.160 Is everyone just using ChatGPT?

00:57:35.300 Have the editors already been put out of business, I guess?

00:57:38.300 How are you an editor and you let that get by you?

00:57:44.480 Not to mention a sentence that uses the word monster like 12 times.

00:57:51.840 News on my tongue and tears in my eyes.

00:57:56.720 Now, I guess if I had to come up with a compliment,

00:57:58.600 I'd say it probably wasn't written by AI

00:58:01.480 because AI, for all its horrors, isn't that bad.

00:58:05.380 Like, even ChatGPT could probably come up with something better.

00:58:07.400 It reads like a seventh grade girl

00:58:10.080 doing an impression of Taylor Swift

00:58:13.360 doing an impression of Cormac McCarthy.

00:58:17.080 It is unreadable, annoying, and incoherent,

00:58:20.440 which is to say it's modern journalism in a nutshell.

00:58:24.600 And as perhaps the last man alive

00:58:26.240 who has not been involved in any kind of relationship

00:58:28.160 with Olivia Nuzzi,

00:58:29.660 I simply can't stand for it.

00:58:32.340 And that is why Olivia Nuzzi, Keith Olbermann,

00:58:35.320 Ryan Lizza, everyone else who's remotely involved

00:58:37.480 in this sordid and deeply depressing soap opera

00:58:39.700 are today canceled.

00:58:42.940 That'll do it for sure.
