Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM channel 111 every weekday at New East.
00:00:11.780
Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. We're going to have
00:00:15.660
Stubergeer with us in just a minute, but I want to start with this. The Met Gala is officially
00:00:22.480
over, dead, done. Once the apex of high fashion culture and A-list celebrity,
00:00:31.120
the gala now looks more like a sad sack D-list past its prime wannabe version of its old self.
00:00:37.220
It's closer to today's nerd prom White House Correspondents Dinner than the center of the
00:00:41.980
celeb and beauty universe as it used to be. This year's theme was super fine, tailoring black style,
00:00:48.740
an homage to black dandyism. What's that, you ask? No one has any idea. Prepare yourself,
00:00:55.200
however, for a deep dive into leftist, academic, gobbledygook, nonsensical talk,
00:01:00.460
which is probably how it got chosen as the Met Gala theme. That and their desire to pander to
00:01:05.980
black people. The Met says black dandyism came from the intersection of African and European-style
00:01:12.500
traditions, of course. What does that mean? I have no idea. But it seems to be based on a 2009 book
00:01:18.220
written by a woman named Monica Miller called Slaves to Fashion, Black Dandyism, and the Styling of
00:01:25.760
Black Diasporic Identity. Okay, so so far we have dandyism, intersection, and diasporic identity.
00:01:33.020
So we're batting a thousand on the scale of leftist code language that will make liberals sound smarter
00:01:38.080
and feel superior. Ms. Miller's book provides as follows, quote,
00:01:42.280
The black dandy's style is, from the beginning, always simultaneously personal, cultural,
00:01:49.200
representative of the race, and about representation, even as it evaluates norms of racialization,
00:01:57.300
class privileges, gender assignments, and the rules of sexuality in ways similar to that
00:02:02.940
of his European dandy brothers. All clear now? No, no one is. The whole point is to lose you
00:02:09.520
and sound smarter than you by saying words that are totally empty and meaningless.
00:02:15.000
Dandyism, for those still lost and looking for meaning, is, per the New York Times, quote,
00:02:20.120
a style of elevated dress once imposed upon enslaved people, remade by black esthetes.
00:02:28.360
What is an esthete, you ask? Why? It's a person who has or pretends to have a special appreciation of art
00:02:34.120
and beauty, like that woman who wrote the book and the people at the Met and the people who write at
00:02:39.380
the New York Times, who must be really familiar with the term esthete, A-E-S-T-H-E-T-E, because
00:02:45.740
it sounds like them. In any event, esthetes, who remake all of this into a tool of social mobility
00:02:54.300
and self-definition. Does anyone understand any of this any better? No, you're not meant to,
00:03:01.400
you dumbasses. You have to go to Harvard to understand what these people are saying,
00:03:06.380
how they speak, and how they code talk. It's all just a dressed up way of saying, by the way,
00:03:12.100
we are pandering to black people because we love black people, and that makes us good people.
00:03:19.520
So what did we see last night? Well, it was basically Black Lives Matter at the Met.
00:03:24.160
It was a parade of black Americans, leftists, in their dandy style, which near as I can figure,
00:03:30.660
appears to mean over-the-top black and white, with weird shapes and vaginas showing. That's also
00:03:35.840
apparently part of dandyism. Cramming into the Met, where the invitation-only tickets went for
00:03:41.020
$75,000 a plate, and that's only for the losers willing to actually pay to rub elbows with stars like
00:03:49.280
Lisa. Who is Lisa, you ask? Yes, I wanted to know too. She's the girl from White Lotus who was dating
00:03:58.940
the security guard. Remember? She's top-notch star talent right there, people. Lisa. And how did Lisa
00:04:07.820
interpret superfine dandyism? Apparently, it meant putting Rosa Parks on her vagina. Yes, yes, this was
00:04:17.280
the height of culture and high couture. Civil rights icon Rosa Parks reduced to a vagina cover.
00:04:25.640
Look at this. Is that part of the diaspora? Is it? I'm asking Anna Wintour for a friend.
00:04:32.180
Maybe somebody we know a little better, a legitimate star, could help us out. Let's go
00:04:36.520
to Holly Berry, one of the world's most beautiful women, right? Perhaps she nailed it. Here was her
00:04:41.820
outfit. Let's take a look. Here she is. Okay. If you zoom down to right above the bottom of the screen,
00:04:49.140
what are you seeing there on this dress that has slits in it where you see like see-through and then
00:04:55.740
black stripe and then see-through. Oh, it's a vagina. It's her vagina. Yeah. Apparently, she thought the
00:05:01.620
diaspora meant the labia, which she all but showed. Holly Berry, let me tell you something, has been in a
00:05:09.120
five-year effort to prove to us how sexy she is ever since some actress named Lisa Rae McCoy said on a show
00:05:15.020
that she had heard Holly Berry is bad and boring in bed. Look it up. And honestly, since that date to
00:05:23.400
now, Holly Berry has been doing inappropriate photo shoots and going over the top with her language about
00:05:30.900
her bedroom prowess because she's never been able to let it go, which means it struck a chord. I'm sorry,
00:05:37.440
but if it didn't ring a bell with you, you'd be able to laugh at it and move on. That's part of being a
00:05:42.340
public figure. But she has been instead putting up progressively more and more provocative pictures
00:05:47.560
of herself all the way through last night where she went full side vagina. You've heard of side
00:05:53.040
boob. This was side pube and it wasn't pretty. I'm sorry. She's not looking her best. This was not the
00:05:58.400
time to go side pube. And I really hope it doesn't become a thing because it's not, it's not really the
00:06:03.940
most attractive part. I mean, really, like if you really want to get attention now, just to go full
00:06:07.720
pube, right? Like do the Kanye Bianca Sensori thing. Like don't phone it in, Holly. You really
00:06:13.300
want attention. Let's see it. Put it on display. Don't, don't be such a press. And speaking of not
00:06:19.320
pretty, what the hell happened to Vera Wang? I'm sorry, but she looked like something that you would
00:06:26.260
find inside of a public washer dryer set after a college frat boy did his laundry, then fashions it
00:06:31.940
designer. You can't see it from this far away photo. I ideally we will zoom in on Vera's face
00:06:39.220
because it's seen better days and look, she's aging. She's obviously not doing anything to fight
00:06:46.400
the aging. All of that's fine, but you're going to put on a black tie outfit and show up for the
00:06:52.180
diaspora at fashion's biggest night. You might consider a little under eye concealer. I'm sorry.
00:06:58.700
That's just, I'm going to say it like you needed it. If you can get away with it and you don't need
00:07:04.120
it more power to you, Vera. I'm here to tell you, you needed it along with some mascara and a little
00:07:10.180
blush and maybe a cameraman who was farther away. I'm just, it was shocking. And while we're being
00:07:18.420
mean, what were you thinking, Pamela Anderson? I mean, honestly, I know she's leaning into the,
00:07:23.460
I'm no longer a sex kitten and I support her in that. I respect that, but she has leaned in so far.
00:07:30.500
She has imploded into a large ball of makeupless sparkles. And I now miss barbed wire. I, this is
00:07:37.620
not even recognizable. The weird pixie cut with the bangs, the little page boy bangs that are halfway
00:07:42.580
down her forehead. And she's obviously put on some weight. Okay. Again, fine. But like the dress was not
00:07:48.960
flattering at all. It covered every inch of her. She looked like half man, half woman in this head
00:07:55.400
to toe cover with no makeup on. Uh, I I'm sorry. She can do better. She Pamela Anderson in like jeans
00:08:02.480
and a t-shirt is better than that. Colin Kaepernick was there again, because it was BLM on a red carpet.
00:08:09.240
Someone named Andre 3000 showed up with a piano on his back, which really did prove that this is
00:08:17.500
really just a costume party and has nothing to do with fashion, which honestly is fine by me. I love
00:08:23.080
costumes, but the advertising is all wrong. I thought it was supposed to be fashion's biggest night.
00:08:27.680
High couture. It's a fucking piano on his back. How is that inspirational to this year's fashion season?
00:08:34.720
And by the way, I happen to know because I, in another life knew Anna Wintour, she doesn't like
00:08:42.020
all black. She likes colorful outfits. She gets upset when ladies and men wear all black. I don't
00:08:49.200
know how she felt about the big black piano on that man's back, but whatever. That's his fashion
00:08:55.440
statement. Whoopi Goldberg never misses the chance to dress like a man. Never. I mean, on the view,
00:09:01.980
on the red carpet at the Met Gala, and you could be forgiven for mistaking her for one last night.
00:09:08.500
Madonna too looked short. She looks stocky and she looked manly. She went in all white. I mean,
00:09:15.520
does dandyism mean cross-dressing? There was something about gender in that long,
00:09:20.900
incomprehensible definition, wasn't there? And these stars think that they're being provocative
00:09:27.200
by wearing tuxedos, by wearing tuxedos. One that was black and one that was white and the one that
00:09:35.680
was black and white. And speaking of black and white, no one has done black and white this well
00:09:43.320
since the black and white cookie. And it brings me to Kamala Harris. Did you see Kamala Harris last
00:09:48.340
night? She did remind me of a black and white cookie with her weird little dress that again,
00:09:53.660
much like the Pamela Anderson dress made her look like three times her size. She looked, look at her.
00:09:59.940
She looks enormous. She looks like the before picture for an Ozempic ad. I don't know what,
00:10:05.880
what woman decides to add another one quarter to her size with her dress choice. This is very odd to
00:10:13.120
me. And there's Doug Emhoff and a regular looking tux, which given the other options we saw last night
00:10:18.840
was fine. But in general, these women wearing black and white or black and white in a tuxedo
00:10:26.240
is boring as were most of the looks boring and done. One of the only ones who dazzled at all
00:10:34.720
was Diana Ross. And yes, as the papers all said today, coming up with the same headline,
00:10:40.620
she reigned supreme and she did wow everyone. I mean, any of us in an 18 foot train would wow anyone.
00:10:47.720
Apparently people were pissed because they had to get off the stairs so she could enter. But you
00:10:53.240
know what? Stardom has its privileges. So I kind of support this. She looked awesome. And it's great
00:10:58.040
to see some of our old Motown royalty still around and asserting their proper place in the pecking
00:11:06.980
order. Look, the real problem with last night's Met Gala. I mean, there were there were many. It's just
00:11:15.500
off point. It's too much privilege in the hands of too few people who we cannot stand. I mean,
00:11:23.320
the stars don't have to pay that $75,000 a ticket. That's truly just the loser wannabe star fuckers
00:11:29.100
who pay that money so they can sit next to Lisa. I don't even know who that is. Who are you?
00:11:36.920
Would you have to say it's the girl whose name, the name doesn't even come to mind of like who,
00:11:41.220
what was that character name again? She dated Guyton or whatever his name was. Like that's,
00:11:45.680
that's how you got to be like the famous person. That's why you're here. And by the way,
00:11:50.380
it pretty much was the white Lotus Met Ball. There were like black Americans and then the white
00:11:55.860
Lotus people. Here's Lisa in that movie. And then the white Lotus people. And like,
00:11:59.960
not for nothing, but Patrick Schwarzenegger, the, the, the Nepo baby of Arnold Schwarzenegger and
00:12:05.060
Maria Shriver was speaking of dandy. It was looking a little light in the loafers. I don't, that's fine.
00:12:10.080
There's nothing wrong with that, but I don't, I think he's hetero. And that was not a good look
00:12:12.940
for him because he had cinched that tiny little waist as small as the David Muir waist in the fireman's
00:12:18.400
jacket with the clothespins in the back. I miss men. Why does going to the Met Gala mean you have to
00:12:24.840
look like a girl? I prefer the Doug Emhoff look, frankly. I like, he looked like a tiny little
00:12:30.840
cinched waist girly girl, dandy. I mean, dandy, I don't, what's, I can't get back on, on the
00:12:37.060
definition of dandy, but it does have sort of a gay connotation. And Patrick Schwarzenegger was
00:12:41.920
leaning in. But the point is this thing is so over the top with its privilege and its wealth and its
00:12:48.020
people who are totally fucking out of touch, rubbing elbows with one another. It brings a little
00:12:52.580
vomit to one's mouth. And that's why we watch it to hate watch it. And now this year they added in
00:12:58.860
the extra element of the total fucking pander. Sorry. That's three F bonds in the top 10, 10
00:13:03.740
minutes. My apologies of the total pander. And we're done with that. Anna, I guess you didn't get the
00:13:10.500
notice or maybe she did. And this is just Anna Wintour, one of America's richest, meanest bitches
00:13:18.060
trying to declare her part herself as part of the resistance. She's the new face of the resistance,
00:13:24.580
the biggest bully in America with more money and access to power than virtually any other American.
00:13:32.400
Now she's going to be the new resistance because Trump and the majority that elected him have said,
00:13:37.900
we are done dividing ourselves by race. We're done leaning into things like the black diaspora.
00:13:45.780
Okay. Fashion is fashion, but she's got to do it because she's got to remind you that she's a
00:13:52.300
better person than you are. And that of course means she's not in her behavior proof. She's not
00:13:57.100
because only people who are not need to run around trying to prove and lecture the rest of us
00:14:00.900
on how good they are. Um, okay. So Anna Wintour is done. Our days of pandering are done.
00:14:09.580
And so very clearly are the days of the Mac Gala. Joining me now, Stu Bergeer, host of Blaze TV's
00:14:17.060
Stu Does America. Forget government debt. Another real crisis is personal debt. After four years of
00:14:24.980
inflation, you might be working harder than ever and still be buried in credit card debt and overdue
00:14:29.780
bills. Consider done with debt. They're tough. Negotiators know how to reduce bills, eliminate
00:14:35.220
interest, and erase penalties to end your debt permanently without bankruptcy and without
00:14:40.600
loans. But some of their solutions are time sensitive. So you do need to move quickly.
00:14:46.220
Go to donewithdebt.com for a free consultation. That's donewithdebt.com.
00:14:52.940
Stu, welcome back. I'm sure you were riveted to your TV as the red carpet arrivals unfolded.
00:14:59.020
Your take on the display of opulence, arrogance, and disdain for regular people that we witnessed
00:15:07.540
last night. Well, uh, first I, I must say, uh, that despite the fact that I host two national
00:15:15.200
shows a day, this is the reason why your show is my wife's favorite show. That was absolutely
00:15:22.940
incredible. And I will say my wife's name is Lisa. Um, I will assure you, she does not have Rosa Parks
00:15:30.640
underwear. Um, but I will say, even if she did, you wouldn't know it because she wears pants when
00:15:38.500
she goes outside. That secret option number two. Yeah. It's, it's, it's a nice, it's a nice step,
00:15:45.220
but I think a lot of people should really consider. I love, I mean, first of all, it's just completely
00:15:51.000
a ridiculous event in and of itself. And I think at one point, maybe it had some utility at this
00:15:56.040
point. You're right. It feels like this outdated sort of tribute band version of the woke era,
00:16:03.860
right? Like there was a time where it seemed like every, everybody went down this road and all we did
00:16:08.400
was say that the color of the skin was the most important thing. And we have to constantly lead
00:16:12.560
into every single woke word. And you know, uh, the, the, the Ibram Kendi's of the world were
00:16:18.900
thriving. Well, that's over, right? All right. Didn't we all realize this is over? This is past
00:16:24.040
Ibram Kendi had to close down his Institute at the college. Like, do we remember Robin DeAngelo's not
00:16:28.940
getting booked quite as often? The fees, speaking fees are down. I thought we were a little bit past
00:16:33.260
this. And I think, you know, watching it happen, it did feel sort of like a procession
00:16:37.880
for that entire movement, like this, this pathetic attempt to maintain it and keep it around.
00:16:44.400
And I, and I feel even more infuriated when you think about the scope of it, right? You're talking
00:16:50.120
about $75,000 a dish for those, uh, peasants who needed to pay it. And they're, they're going to this
00:16:58.900
event with all these expensive clothes and this incredible opulence. And they're the ones that are
00:17:03.820
going to tell us tomorrow about how important income inequality is. I want a constitutional
00:17:08.380
amendment that bans anyone who ever goes to that event from talking about income inequality ever
00:17:14.200
again. Uh, because how can we possibly take you seriously? It is a pathetic, pathetic display,
00:17:20.560
uh, that we watched. And despite the fact that the outfits are with very few exceptions, completely
00:17:26.860
bizarre and strange. Um, it is more about that, like attitude of these people are better than you.
00:17:35.240
They will tell you how to think. And if you don't think the same exact way down the line that they
00:17:41.220
believe you are the disgusting peasant that they don't have to consider when, when they're at this
00:17:47.500
event, when they're making policy that affects those everyday people who find this, uh, this whole
00:17:52.740
avenue grotesque. Once again, the field was littered with Kardashians. I mean, if you want to lower the
00:18:00.500
quality of your event event in one fell swoop, just invite them all, which is what Anna Wintour does
00:18:05.500
every year from Kim to Kylie to Kendall, take your pick. Um, they're there and their mere presence,
00:18:13.740
whether it's your Met Gala or your fake space launch will undermine the gravity, shall we say of your
00:18:21.000
event? And the seriousness with which any of us can take it. They're the OG nude fashionistas though.
00:18:29.540
They were clothed last night. Here's Kim in her weird little witch's hat and her incredibly tight
00:18:35.600
outfit. Cause that's all she ever does. But at least she was not showing us at least last night,
00:18:39.720
her badge, the Holly Berry choice do. I'm sorry, but it marks like a new low. So, okay. Shakira showed us
00:18:48.380
her vag at a super bowl a couple of years ago. So did JLo. And now you've got Holly Berry who's,
00:18:54.300
I mean, truly, I think accepted as one of the world's most beautiful women. Look at this. This
00:18:58.660
is a closeup. Forgive me of the side pube. We've got side pube on the right and the left. And the
00:19:04.920
thing that makes me so upset about this is any woman could do this. All right. Now, by the way,
00:19:10.180
Holly Berry, not for nothing, but she's put on probably about 10 pounds. So maybe this wasn't the
00:19:14.420
night to bust out the side pube, but okay, it's fine. But does your Lisa think if you brought her
00:19:21.040
to the, let's say radio and television correspondence dinner, that if she showed side
00:19:25.080
pube, she couldn't make a headline or two literally every woman listening to me right now. And every
00:19:31.380
man who has a daughter or a wife or a sister knows that if they put their loved one in a side pube dress,
00:19:38.340
they would get attention. They'd get clicks. They'd wind up maybe even on the Megyn Kelly show,
00:19:43.900
but not for the right reason. And Holly Berry has some sort of a complex where it's never enough.
00:19:52.160
Her natural gorgeous skin, her natural gorgeous looks, her natural gorgeous breasts for that matter.
00:19:58.500
It's not enough. You've got to go full pube because everybody has to outdo each other. You know,
00:20:05.180
once, once Bianca Sensori has been out there, right? Like that's the new standard or that Emily
00:20:09.760
Roger Towski, whatever her name is, she's half naked all the time. This is the new and like we
00:20:15.460
lose a little dignity as a society. Every time one of our actual stars buys into this.
00:20:24.800
Yeah. You're totally right on that. And Halle Berry, right? This is an Oscar award winner,
00:20:29.400
right? Like this is, this is someone who's not just some lady, right? Like she is,
00:20:33.160
as you point out, kind of generally agreed upon as one of the, you know, the world's most beautiful
00:20:37.860
women. And she's going through this. It's totally unnecessary for her, but it does play into, I
00:20:42.760
think the societal pressures and, and I don't want to say pressures as if she should be giving into
00:20:48.860
them. I'm just saying that like the incentives of our world right now seem to be lined up this way.
00:20:53.500
It's why so many people are on Instagram, you know, flaunting their cleavage to get clicks.
00:20:58.140
It's why, I mean, it's, it's a, it's a very long road that leads to the British woman on OnlyFans
00:21:04.860
having sex with a hundred men in a day, right? It's the same road. We're, we're, we're all there.
00:21:10.100
We're all looking at this same path where it just cheapens everything about who we are. I mean,
00:21:17.780
these are, she's an accomplished actress. She is, you know, was at the top of her field at one point.
00:21:24.660
Um, there's no need for her to do this. She doesn't need to be the, the new starlet who's
00:21:31.100
showing lots of skin to try to get attention. There's no need for it, but there seems to be
00:21:35.980
this desire to constantly put, uh, the, to constantly escalate that part of humanity.
00:21:43.280
Like sexuality is part of humanity. There's, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's, it's not
00:21:47.880
designed to be something that's thrown all over closeup shots on the Megyn Kelly show. That's
00:21:54.380
not, not what it's supposed to be, Megyn. Chrissy Teigen showed her underwear at the
00:21:59.500
white house correspondence dinner. She was considered a quote star who went to that thing
00:22:03.440
a year or two ago. She showed her underwear there. I don't get it. Like there's a time
00:22:07.420
and a place for a sexy photo. I'm not against that. I'm truly not like a prude, but it's very
00:22:12.460
weird to choose to show instead of like your shoulders or like some cleavage, some like, you
00:22:18.640
know, tasteful amount of cleavage, um, to, to, to go well beyond that into showing again,
00:22:25.260
the side pube, which has now become a new thing. Um, the pandering to the BLM crowd was over the top.
00:22:31.280
May I read you? I mean, this is unbelievable. If like any, if the GOP did this Vogue and the New York
00:22:39.800
Times would be apoplectic about it, he listened to the menu that they served last night at what
00:22:46.460
was basically the black, the black Met Gala delicacies, like papaya, Piri Piri salad, cucumbers
00:22:53.500
with Caribbean green seasoning, Creole chicken with lemon emulsion, BBQ collard greens with bacon,
00:23:02.960
cornbread with a honey curry butter, and a dessert named Bodega special cosmic brownie.
00:23:08.020
I'm sorry, but this is making me uncomfortable because the black people like chicken and they
00:23:15.620
like Caribbean green seasoning, the Creole chicken. They like, they like collard greens with bacon and
00:23:21.640
cornbread. This is like the, so the left and a wind court tour can do this kind of pandering. Cause
00:23:27.840
she's, you see, she got a panel of black advisors, all black advisors. Oh, and they want us to know
00:23:33.260
they met at the Apollo theater in Harlem to plan this and she's gotten their imprints due. So it's
00:23:39.260
fine for her to charge $75,000 for some Creole chicken and collard greens because she's having
00:23:49.620
the black Met Gala. But you tell me if anybody right of center serve that menu at an event meant
00:23:56.340
to honor black Americans, they'd get fucking killed. That's time for forgive me.
00:24:00.580
Number four, we're setting new records here. I bring out the best of you, Megan. I think there
00:24:06.380
is a, you're completely right, by the way. Imagine if a conservative decided to, to, to support that
00:24:14.320
menu at an event where you put, again, who would even put black in the title of an event? I can't
00:24:20.060
even, I don't even understand the mindset that would lead you to that part, very small part of,
00:24:24.120
of all of this. Um, you know, there's a, uh, it was a, uh, I think it was Curb Your Enthusiasm
00:24:28.760
episode where, um, where Larry and J.B. Smoove were in line and, and, and he wants to buy
00:24:35.600
a watermelon and, and he's trying to get himself to, it's okay that you actually like watermelon,
00:24:42.460
right? And, and, and Larry David's like, it's okay. Watermelon's delicious. It's okay to order
00:24:47.000
a black man to buy a watermelon. It's okay. It's a very funny scene, but it does sort of attract
00:24:52.320
like attention to this bizarre thing where we take foods and assign them to, to races and
00:24:59.260
cultures. Like that's part of culture, right? It is. There's nothing wrong with enjoying a
00:25:04.100
particular food. And it's really more about the way the media and the left has done this over,
00:25:10.440
over the years, instead of just saying like, you know what? Like, I don't know, maybe white people
00:25:14.900
like certain food. I have a friend who always tells me that white people are the only people who
00:25:19.120
like mayonnaise. I don't know if that's true. That's what he always tells me.
00:25:22.320
Ew. Why does that have to be ours? Maybe it's true.
00:25:26.160
Why do we get stuck with mayonnaise? Why couldn't we get, why couldn't we get watermelon?
00:25:33.440
And this is just, it's just so ridiculous. And then they want us to know it was a black
00:25:36.220
chef who came up with the menu. So Anna Wintour is not racist, you know, like.
00:25:41.160
It's just so, it's, it's five years late, right? Like we're done with this. Blacks, Hispanics,
00:25:48.940
Indians, they're done with this. They all voted for Trump in record numbers because in part,
00:25:54.920
they wanted to put a stop to this dividing us by race. Nonsense. It was progress to put him back
00:26:01.380
in office so we can stop doing that. And so Anna Wintour, Wintour so white, literally one of our
00:26:07.960
whitest Americans. I mean, you can't get whiter. Decides she's going to be the one to resurrect
00:26:13.120
the pander and really in doing so set us back. Black people appreciate fashion and so do whites,
00:26:21.780
right? And then we have to go back to like how whites, because dandyism, we really dig deep into
00:26:26.020
these articles. It's about how white slave owners made certain slaves dress up in these over-the-top
00:26:34.540
outfits. And so it's like dandyism is an homage to like what they did and then how black people took
00:26:42.000
that and made it their own and found empowerment out of it. But like everything's got to revolve
00:26:46.780
around the white man, slave owner, our terrible history as a country. And we have to be reminded
00:26:52.000
of exactly what, you know, ancestors of nobody's really at this point in the country, other than
00:26:56.800
like 2% of us who are on the Mayflower, um, dead many moons ago. I love, I love how the solution to
00:27:04.420
an issue from long ago where we had rich white people tell black people how to dress. The solution
00:27:10.800
of that is to have rich white people tell black people how to dress. That's how we solved it,
00:27:18.000
everybody. Better see Rosa Parks someplace. Oh, wait, not there, Lisa.
00:27:26.460
It's really unbelievable and it's over. Okay. But now speaking of totally out of touch leftists
00:27:31.340
posing awkwardly for the camera, did you see the spread? Oh my God. It's unbelievable with all these
00:27:39.440
leftists in their living rooms. Hold on. I got to find this. Is this in the AM update? Yes. In the
00:27:45.400
New Yorker, they call it powerhouses and they've taken their favorite lefties and photographed. It
00:27:53.160
was supposed to be a photograph. Like traditionally they would photograph their living room, like just
00:27:56.900
show off. And as New Yorkers, I mean, I'm not one now, but I have been one for the past 17 years.
00:28:02.780
Um, we all love to see inside of each other's apartments. You know, it's like being on a cruise
00:28:06.940
ship. They tend to be smaller and it's interesting to see what people can do with such a small space
00:28:11.320
to make it, you know, work and so on. So we're all fascinated by apartments. So showing the living
00:28:15.680
rooms makes some sense, but this year they decided to add the humans in their living rooms and it's all
00:28:21.440
leftists because it's powerhouses and they wouldn't, why would they feature a conservative powerhouse?
00:28:25.420
That's not of any interest to the New Yorker. Um, so they've got the, I mean, again, just least
00:28:32.360
attractive leftists you can find. And on that front, forgive me, but I'm just going to tell the
00:28:36.980
truth. I'm going to start with Ella Emhoff, who they continue to tell us is some sort of a supermodel.
00:28:42.020
I I'd like to see the photos where, what runway show has she walked in? Because what I see is a woman
00:28:48.100
who would never qualify as a supermodel in anybody's book. She might be the living opposite of a Kate
00:28:55.140
Moss or a Paulina Portskova or a Cindy Crawford who were the OG, uh, supermodels. She looks short,
00:29:02.360
stubby with large calves and a bunch of tats all over her and strange eyeglasses and hair in a very
00:29:09.040
weird little living room holding a tiny little dog. So that's her. Um, and then there's AOC
00:29:17.000
in her Queens. They want you to know she's in Queens. She's a woman of the people living room
00:29:22.860
knitting. Cause she's just like us do. She, she lies in her cat on her couch at home.
00:29:29.020
And in between going to the Met Gala, remember an address that reads tax the rich as she's
00:29:35.180
hobnobbing with them at $75,000 a plate she knits. So that's relatable. Okay. That's why she needs to
00:29:41.780
be our next president. But my favorite is Al Sharpton, Al Sharpton, well-known race hustler and hoaxer
00:29:49.300
who somehow rehabilitated himself into one of the very serious and esteemed voices on MSNBC,
00:29:55.280
whose photograph is him in his living room with a photo of him in the background as author John
00:30:05.620
Gabriel put it on X. Like Al Sharpton, my house only has photos and statues of me plus a little cage for
00:30:14.180
the kids, which is what it looks like. There's literally a photo, a huge photo of himself on
00:30:20.980
the wall behind him. Nothing else than another photo that appears to be, I don't know. I maybe
00:30:26.360
of him a statue. I don't know who the statues of could also be him. And then a weird little
00:30:31.880
looks like a pack and play kind of thing, which is apparently for his dog. Maybe, I don't know.
00:30:37.700
I don't know Al Sharpton, Al Sharpton well enough, but he made the list. And then the best, the absolute
00:30:44.060
best is Uma Abedin and her husband, Alex Soros. Now I, I understand, I feel for Uma Abedin because
00:30:56.000
for years she's obviously been abused by Hillary Clinton as her right-hand woman. I mean, that's
00:31:01.240
seems clear when you work for one like that. So she must be able to take high levels of abuse. I mean,
00:31:06.780
that's my opinion. And then she married Anthony Weiner, who had some weird photos of two young
00:31:15.040
children and really just his whole mayoral race ended in utter disgrace as did his earlier race.
00:31:23.800
He had a couple of races, which he was booted out of for his absolutely disgusting behavior. And then
00:31:28.060
eventually their marriage failed. Shocking. And by the way, his laptop may have helped cost Hillary
00:31:35.020
Clinton the presidency. So she's got to live with that, which is a leftist legacy. No, no one wants
00:31:39.640
on the progressive side. And then she finds like the payload, the son of George Soros or George Soros,
00:31:47.860
Alex Soros. Now, unfortunately he's extremely homely and there isn't a scintilla of sexiness about
00:31:54.560
this man. He looks asexual to me. I don't, he just looks totally like asexual. Like he's never had a
00:32:01.520
beating heart looking at anything. And this is their pose in the most antiseptic, sterile,
00:32:08.580
cold, uninviting living room I've ever laid eyes upon. It's got the floor to ceiling window. So I
00:32:14.340
guess they think we're going to be impressed. They forgot to add anything resembling love,
00:32:18.920
anything resembling comfort or coziness. You go to visit Ma Kelly, my mom, Linda, you're going to get
00:32:26.280
the doilies on the side tables. You're going to get the cute prayers that are framed on the window,
00:32:33.400
on the walls. You're going to get the two matching lazy boy chairs, well-worn and loved. You're going
00:32:39.520
to get tons of family photos. Look at this. It's like hell on earth, this photo. Steve Krakauer said,
00:32:47.900
and I totally agree with him that they've got Margo and Todd vibes from Christmas, Christmas
00:32:51.620
vacation. Remember? Right. Um, Elaine Bennis, what's her name? Julia Louis-Dreyfus where they're
00:33:00.120
just, you know, you could freeze ice on their ass. They look so cold. You know, here they are.
00:33:04.560
And this is what they put out, like knowing it's going to be the New Yorkers, like their,
00:33:08.020
their power photo. And this has been some of the reaction. Um, okay. Steven L. Miller. I love him on,
00:33:16.060
on X, you know, him, he's been on before with you. I think he writes, uh, in response to all of this,
00:33:21.320
sure. Let's have that oligarchy conversation. Um, X user Jarvis on this Uma Abedin and Alex
00:33:28.760
Soros picture, by the way, there's something sexist about how he's sitting in like the power
00:33:33.340
seat with his arm out and she's standing next to him, holding his hand. There's something sexist
00:33:38.760
about it. It reminds me of the Mika and Joe thing where she kicked her legs up and he was sitting in
00:33:43.560
the power position. Like this is her telegraphing subservience to me. Like, I'll get you whatever
00:33:48.760
you need. What do you need? Do you need a coffee? You need a back rub? What can I get you? Anyway,
00:33:53.340
X user Jarvis tweeted out, love, love this picture in the voice of Alex Soros, love this picture of me,
00:34:00.700
a heterosexual and my wife who I love being physically intimate with Chadwick Moore tasteless,
00:34:08.480
frigid antiseptic. I've been in dentist offices with more soul and character. Byron York, one of,
00:34:16.160
if the, if not the most powerful person in the democratic party, very heartland. Exactly right.
00:34:23.040
Uh, so all of this does what for the Democrats image, Stuber gear? Not much, nothing positive. I,
00:34:31.820
I don't think it does much for any of their images. Uh, you know, I, you say that Alex Soros does not
00:34:36.800
have a scintilla of sexiness. I assumed the sexiness was supposed to be provided by the
00:34:41.320
commas in the bank account, which would provide you a very nice place, but it doesn't even seem
00:34:47.100
to be honestly that they they're hitting that standard. They look pissed in the photo. They,
00:34:52.320
it looks like the last thing you see if you're an Uber eats driver and you've dropped off the wrong
00:34:57.500
order and you're backing out of the apartment that they look at it like just disgust
00:35:02.000
at you. And it looks, it makes their life feel disgusting. You know, it kind of does. I think
00:35:09.000
like it, it has that element of it. There's this, there's this thing that this type of thing,
00:35:13.860
you know, if it were, uh, you know, some rich conservative who made his money through,
00:35:19.100
I don't know, supplying really important, uh, fuel and energy to our country. So we can have a
00:35:24.360
civilization that person with the same background would be, uh, I don't think they would have it.
00:35:29.020
I think it would look different, maybe a little more gold. Um, but it would have,
00:35:32.800
it would be seen as a disgusting, uh, sign of, of wealth and opulence and, and this grotesque
00:35:38.640
capitalism that, that, uh, this, uh, this country is, is, is, is hitting us with despite the fact
00:35:44.520
that it's also provided us with, you know, um, life expectancies that are longer than ever and
00:35:49.760
billions of people ripped out of extreme poverty, poverty across the world. Those things are never
00:35:54.340
discussed. We would just look at this as this disgusting, gross thing where these rich,
00:35:58.760
conservatives taking advantage of the American people. I mean, look, providing oil, uh, providing,
00:36:05.520
uh, you know, technology, something much more, much more than anything Alex Soros has ever done.
00:36:10.600
He's the kid of a guy who went around the world, uh, you know, raping other people's currencies
00:36:17.460
and destroying other people's currencies in foreign countries. Uh, he is not a, a sign of, uh, you know,
00:36:25.300
the family wealth didn't exactly come down, uh, a tree that you'd want to necessarily brag about
00:36:30.960
when it comes, uh, to, uh, to levels of, of how, uh, wonderful that process is. And we're now
00:36:38.640
supposed to look at this. I mean, I don't know, maybe she's improved her lot. I will say she was
00:36:42.880
married to, uh, Anthony Weiner and worked for Hillary Clinton. This might be the best possible
00:36:47.940
days of her life. I mean, this is might be the golden years for her, frankly, unlike Vera Wang.
00:36:54.420
Um, yes, this might be the golden age for her. Um, this guy, like I, all I can think about is,
00:37:02.120
is it inherited wealth? Like, I'm not sure because I spent a lot of time with, for example,
00:37:08.420
Lachlan Murdoch when I was at Fox. I don't remember him doing photo spreads like this. Uh, like I,
00:37:14.480
I, he's actually quite private. He's got, I think literally the largest home in Los Angeles.
00:37:19.240
Uh, he, and his extremely gorgeous supermodel wife, actual supermodel wife. He, they don't show
00:37:25.240
it off. They don't need anyone's affirmation of how wealthy and powerful they are. That's what real
00:37:31.920
wealth and real power looks like. In my experience, they, they don't want attention. The last thing they
00:37:38.020
want is a show like succession, right? Like talking all about them and their intrafamily drama,
00:37:43.400
but this guy, Alex Soros has like leaned into his totally inherited role as kingmaker within the
00:37:52.620
Democrat party, right down to marrying Uma Abedin, Anthony Weiner's cast off, which is just a very
00:37:59.660
sad thing to be. And, um, I don't know, like, I think about it a lot. Like I really want to have in
00:38:07.680
my life enough money that I can live comfortably and, you know, maybe give my kids a very small
00:38:14.080
nest egg to help them in case of an emergency in their lives when I'm gone. And that's it because
00:38:20.100
I'm telling you, give too much wealth to the next gen and you wind up with a prick like that,
00:38:25.000
with that facial expression, trying to act like he owns the world when he was just born on third base
00:38:32.240
and has done absolutely nothing other than receive this baton of power and money from his old man.
00:38:40.020
Like how pathetic and how not stimulating to his female partner. I know the commas are supposed to
00:38:47.640
provide the stimulation, as you say, but that generally requires you to earn them. What's sexy
00:38:54.520
is a man who earns, whether it's, it's a, you know, Mason or a millionaire. What's sexy is the
00:39:01.740
hard work that goes into earning them. By this standpoint, George Soros is sexy, sexier than his
00:39:10.060
weird little grew looking son. Doesn't he remind you of grew from the, from the despicable me series?
00:39:16.640
Yes. Like all of it is, you couldn't like draw up a more apt villain. Yeah, that's so true. And it's
00:39:26.620
also, you could not draw up a better vision of the hypocrisy of the modern left, right? Like I,
00:39:35.460
you know, I work with Glenn Beck on a day-to-day basis. We've talked just a little bit about George
00:39:39.680
Soros over the years, spent a little time on that topic. And one of the big responses to that early
00:39:45.940
coverage was no, that that's not what's happening here at all. You know, George Soros, sure he's a
00:39:50.980
Democrat. He makes some donations, but he's not this big puppet master trying to control, uh, you
00:39:57.140
know, the United States and all of the policies. He's not doing those things. He's not a big,
00:40:01.380
he's a factor, no, not a factor in the democratic party. You're being ridiculous. You're overstating
00:40:06.820
this. And their answer to that is to put Alex Soros, who's accomplished exactly nothing on his
00:40:15.160
own exactly, precisely nothing to elevate him to this level of control where Tim Walls was over at
00:40:22.140
this same apartment during the campaign that he was meeting with Kamala Harris. He he's best buddies
00:40:28.100
with every power player on the left. They've taken at least a guy who was accomplished in his grift
00:40:34.600
in George Soros and handed all this power times 10 to Alex, who seems to have done absolutely
00:40:41.760
nothing to deserve it. Except perfect his little villain face and his little pinky digging into the
00:40:48.120
side of his smile. You know, Austin Powers, like there is definitely a Dr. Evil vibe, uh, they're going
00:40:54.520
on. And what happens with all this money? It goes to fund candidates who come out and tell us about
00:41:00.140
income inequality to tell us about how millionaires and billionaires are bad people, how billionaires
00:41:06.040
shouldn't even exist. These are things that left-wing activists say all the time. And it's being funded
00:41:13.660
by this guy in this apartment. You cannot put a price on it. They're literally right now lecturing us
00:41:20.660
about oligarchy right now. These people, uh, just going down the list a little more, this, uh, list in
00:41:27.780
the New Yorker of the living rooms. They decide to feature, this is rich chase strangio. Um, you may
00:41:36.900
not know that chase, but you should know chase because chase is the transgender attorney who, um,
00:41:47.240
want, who argued before the U S Supreme court on this one case that they're going to lose, um, on whether
00:41:53.920
parents should have the right, um, to make these medical decisions for their children and sterilize
00:42:00.600
them and take away sexual function when they're minors. And anyway, here is attorney chase strangio
00:42:05.880
to Jake Tapper on CNN, um, on December 3rd, right? Is this December 3rd defending these so-called
00:42:14.600
trans procedures for minors? Watch this. Nobody has to provide this, this medication to, to adolescents.
00:42:22.020
These are not doctors being forced to provide this medication. These are doctors who are wanting to
00:42:27.600
treat their patients in the best way that they know how based on the best available evidence to us.
00:42:32.260
And these are young people who may have known since they were two years old, exactly who, who they are,
00:42:36.460
who suffered for six, seven years before they had any relief. And what's happening here, it's not the
00:42:41.180
kids who are consenting to this treatment. It's the parents who are consenting to the treatment.
00:42:45.080
And as a parent, I would say we, when our children are suffering, we are suffering. And these are
00:42:50.140
parents who love their children, who are listening to the advice of their doctors, of the mainstream
00:42:53.980
medical community and doing what's right for that, for their kids. And the state of Tennessee has
00:42:57.960
displaced their judgment. Okay. So this is a nice test for the listening audience. I intentionally
00:43:02.820
didn't say any pronouns about chase strangio before we tossed to that soundbite. The listening audience
00:43:08.660
in particular heard a woman who has taken testosterone. There is very clearly not a man. It is a woman
00:43:15.540
pretending to be a man who's taken testosterone. Those voices are very unique. They're very
00:43:21.920
distinguishable. They fool no one. And if you listening audience were to get a look at trace,
00:43:29.320
a chase strangio by going to our YouTube feed and going 42 minutes out of the hour, you would be even
00:43:34.160
more convinced because other than growing a fake beard and wearing a man's suit, this looks like an
00:43:41.280
effete feminine woman in dress up like a, like a whoopie Goldberg, except this one's feminine.
00:43:49.160
It's ridiculous. And so saying that kind of shit nonsense on CNN about how it's fine. It's just
00:43:58.040
totally cool to have these procedures done on minors who, who cannot possibly consent as minors as young
00:44:03.960
as 12 to the loss of sexual function for the rest of their life. Like any 12 year old,
00:44:10.720
even knows what that feels like or is to sacrifice chase is absurd. And it will get you featured in
00:44:18.960
the New Yorker as one of the power brokers in, I guess they'll go with his in quotes living room.
00:44:26.980
Let's take a look how chase strangio, which is the only true part about this person is living not well.
00:44:34.560
Yeah. That's, that's no surprise. I, if he's, if she is so powerful, where is her powerful living room?
00:44:41.080
Where's her nice living room? Cause this doesn't look so great. The window air conditioner. I don't know.
00:44:45.820
This, the scuzzy clothes. Um, these are our legal eagles now being honored and fitted by people like the
00:44:54.840
Oh yeah. I will say, I will say in chase strangio's defense, he is much more masculine than Alex
00:45:03.580
Soros. And that is something that I think by looking at those photos, very low bar. Um,
00:45:10.060
it is fascinating. What gets you featured, right? This gets you featured because you're, you're in a,
00:45:14.660
in a loss. I mean, at least again, as opposed to Alex Soros, at least she accomplished something,
00:45:20.920
I guess, as a lawyer to get to the level where you at least be showing up in front of the Supreme
00:45:24.340
court. That's something I suppose a court case, obviously that they're going to lose. Um, but
00:45:30.080
okay. That's at least something, uh, it's amazing what they will feature and what they won't. You
00:45:34.700
know, I was thinking about this as we were talking about the, the billionaires, um, Alex Soros and the
00:45:39.440
rest, many of really rich people are featured in this spread. And of course at the Met Gala,
00:45:44.420
and I thought to myself, look at the way they're talking about, you know, Alex Soros and praising
00:45:51.060
him and the way they treat Elon Musk. And he is seen as an oligarch. He's seen as, as a, as a tyrant.
00:45:59.440
Uh, the New York times wrote a story today that featured, it was supposed to be about how Donald
00:46:06.060
Trump was embracing conspiracy theories. And in, in the article about Donald Trump embracing
00:46:12.580
conspiracy theories, they call Elon Musk America's unelected co-president. Now that to me seems like
00:46:20.980
a conspiracy theory. It's quite clearly not true. Yeah. A little bit. Um, and I started thinking
00:46:26.980
about like, I want to, you know, those, what about those Elon Musk profiles like this? Now he may have
00:46:31.240
had them at some point. I, you know, he kind of famously doesn't live in the sort of bizarre,
00:46:36.500
cold opulence of Alex Soros. He, that's not the way he's chosen, uh, to live his life. He's got lots of,
00:46:42.580
interesting choices in his personal life that we don't necessarily have to get into,
00:46:46.340
but he doesn't get these glowing profiles, despite the fact that unlike Alex Soros,
00:46:51.220
no matter what you think about Elon Musk, he is brilliant. He is a genius. He has created
00:46:56.900
more value for the United States in so many different areas than he's trying to cure paralysis
00:47:04.340
right now with his Neuralink company. That alone should tell everyone to shut the, you know,
00:47:11.520
what up and just say, thank you. There, see, I censored number five. And instead you saw,
00:47:18.780
I think it was the media research center that, that, uh, like calculated the research, um, the,
00:47:23.760
the, the media coverage that he's gotten. And for Elon, if memory serves, it was 97% negative for,
00:47:30.260
it was 97. It might've been 99. And for Hegseth, it was 100% negative, all negative on the evening
00:47:39.940
newscast. That's what they looked at all negative. So yeah, if you're Alex Soros, you get the feature
00:47:46.100
in the New Yorker with the woman, you know, look at me, you know, and if you're Elon, you get
00:47:52.560
all negative oligarch hit pieces. Right. And that happened when not at the beginning,
00:48:00.980
he was praised. I, we did a documentary back in 2006 or seven about, um, you know, energy and
00:48:08.740
global warming and all these things. And one of the segments of it was a feature on Tesla. This is
00:48:13.240
before Elon Musk really even was even running it. And we were, and we were the ones, the only people
00:48:17.460
out there saying, Oh gosh, you know, this is actually interesting technology, even though we're not
00:48:21.000
global warming people back then the coverage was all positive until the second he decided to keep
00:48:26.600
his, uh, his, um, uh, factory open during COVID that started a process, which led ended up eventually
00:48:34.280
in him, uh, endorsing Donald Trump and has now become the biggest Dr. Evil in the world. According
00:48:39.640
to the left, it's bizarre. Most of the stuff he's done has been toward their policy aims like fighting
00:48:45.620
global warming. And they still hate his guts. Yes. Green energy with the Tesla cars and
00:48:50.780
Neuralink and colonizing Mars. That's bipartisan. I mean, like that's, there's nothing partisan about
00:48:56.100
that. Um, Twitter, that's where he went really South with them because he allowed speech that
00:49:01.280
you're not allowed to say, according to the left. And it changed the course of history. It changed the
00:49:05.820
course of the debates that we're having right now, especially on the transgender issues, which is
00:49:10.200
unforgivable. Nevermind what he did when he then endorsed and worked for team Trump. Um, okay.
00:49:15.600
There's so much to get to still, my gosh, there's, I'm looking at my list here and there's such
00:49:19.000
goodness. 60 minutes over the top Dave Portnoy, our guest of just a couple of days ago in a firestorm
00:49:25.160
and is handling it as only Dave Portnoy can, uh, we'll get to it all next. Here's an idea for
00:49:30.400
someone who has everything hot salt. Yes, I said it. Hot salt, exquisite, savory heat. Now you're
00:49:37.620
interested. So let me tell you about firecracker farm. It's a wonderful little family company that
00:49:42.240
makes hot salt, a delightful spice infused sea salt. It has the perfect amount of heat and amazing
00:49:48.540
flavor that makes everything taste better. Words getting out and people are loving it. That's
00:49:52.740
because it's made with love. People can feel it and taste it. It's a small batch family operation.
00:49:57.620
So supplies are limited. Know that it comes in sleek, stainless steel push grinders. Plus you can
00:50:03.700
take them anywhere. When you run out, they have refills a little too spicy for you. Just mix it in with
00:50:09.140
some regular sea salt to tame the heat, but you won't need to. It's blended to perfection. Honestly,
00:50:15.180
it's the best thing to happen to food since fire. So what are you waiting for? Go to firecracker.farm
00:50:21.000
right now and use the code MK at checkout for a special discount. That's firecracker.farm,
00:50:27.280
code MK. Get some hot salt before it's all gone. You'll thank me.
00:50:31.460
This just in Lisa. Lisa has greater star power than we normal mortals even knew. She also happens to be
00:50:44.320
a K-pop star with a hundred million followers on Instagram. Thanks to her K-pop role. For those of
00:50:51.580
you listening, K-pop is like Korean bands that have made it in Korea and some over here too. Like what's
00:50:59.380
the other one? Is it BTS? BTK? BTK is the killer. BTK is the murderer. Yeah.
00:51:06.900
As you can see, I got my finger on the pulse too. In any event, Lisa apparently wasn't big enough in
00:51:13.060
K-pop to get to the lessons about Rosa Parks and how we don't put her on vag underwear and take her
00:51:19.520
out as our personal wardrobe. But she's learning. She's learning the hard way. She also apparently
00:51:25.480
got in trouble not long ago for some old tape of her singing the N-word, which apparently I guess
00:51:30.920
they don't teach you that either in school in Korea. We don't say that. That's not something
00:51:34.900
we say or sing unless we're black, in which case you can say or sing it as much as you want.
00:51:38.820
I'm just following the rules as they've been set up by the rap industry. Okay. So there's a lot going
00:51:45.080
on. I want to get to Jen Psaki. Jen Psaki really, really, really wanted us to know as she went on the
00:51:52.600
Mixed Signals podcast on Friday that she really had no idea that Joe Biden, her boss for years,
00:52:01.200
was mentally infirm. And when she left the White House in May of 2022, he was a-okay, Skipper. He
00:52:08.600
was doing just fine. She was shocked, shocked when he had that debate meltdown. Here's what she said
00:52:15.360
sat for. I left in May of 2022, just for the facts here. And I have seen Biden once since then,
00:52:23.400
when I took my daughter to the holiday party this last December after he had lost. And so I hadn't
00:52:30.320
seen him in person during that period of time. In person. I never saw that person, not a single time.
00:52:35.880
And I was in the Oval Office every day that was on that debate stage. I'm not a doctor. Aging happens
00:52:42.240
quite quickly. Were things that people saw during that period of time that were similar to that or
00:52:47.480
would have been in a category of that? I don't know, possibly. She never saw him in person and
00:52:55.220
she's not a doctor. She wants you to know that, Stu. And you're not a doctor and I am a doctor and
00:53:02.140
an astronaut. I'm a jurist doctor and I was able to diagnose him from my desk. So I just want her to
00:53:07.260
know. You're not one and you were able to diagnose. I am one and I was able to diagnose. So we've got
00:53:12.340
this whole thing covered. We put together just like, I'm not going to play. It's just too short,
00:53:17.860
but we put together a list of the many, many mental infirmities that we saw from Joe Biden,
00:53:24.560
like the more popular ones prior to her departure. They included him slipping over and over again while
00:53:31.560
trying to walk up Air Force One, getting lost on his way back to the White House, referring to Vice
00:53:36.760
President Kamala Harris as president and first lady, confusing the immigration policy title 42 with
00:53:42.000
the mask mandate, losing his train of thought and slurring during key remarks. Do we have that one?
00:53:52.040
We're going to seize their yachts, their luxury homes and other ill-begotten gains of Putin's
00:54:01.180
kleptocracy and the guys who are the kleptocracies. But these are bad guys.
00:54:38.320
It's not his stutter because then we could play the soundbite where he forgot the name
00:54:42.700
of the Pentagon and Secretary of Defense. He didn't remember the word Pentagon, remember?
00:54:47.100
And then he forgot the name Lloyd Austin as his defense secretary.
00:54:50.700
And so we could keep going. All of that was prior to her departure.
00:54:53.760
All of us saw it just on the little box that we call the TV or the computer and were able to see
00:54:58.180
that there was a problem. But Jen Psaki is not a doctor, Stubergeer.
00:55:04.340
It's interesting to see something you have to open your eyes that typically
00:55:08.180
was the type of thing that Jen didn't seem to be doing because anyone who saw this and you could
00:55:13.560
have seen this even before the 2020. I mean, we saw elements of it in the 2020 campaign, but it
00:55:18.840
certainly got worse in the White House, I suppose.
00:55:21.740
The change was, you know, dramatic from what we saw back in, you know, 2000, let's say eight.
00:55:27.580
Right. Here's a guy who's running for president for, I don't know, the 44th time losing embarrassing
00:55:32.020
fashion yet again back then. And while he was not exactly, I would say sharp, I wouldn't say he was
00:55:39.540
an impressive politician. He was at some points quick. He had his wits with him. That totally went
00:55:48.680
away when he was in office and it was clear to anybody who wanted to see it. It had to be in
00:55:54.080
complete denial to not see this coming. Now, I mean, I was somewhat surprised at how bad that
00:56:00.720
performance was in the debate. I assumed he'd muddle through it and give a solid D minus and
00:56:07.740
people would move on with their lives. That didn't happen. And it wound up putting us into
00:56:13.480
an interesting position, Megan, because for years and years and years and years, we were called
00:56:17.180
conspiracy theorists for believing that Joe Biden had lost his mental acuity to any sustainable level.
00:56:24.080
We were told that it was mean and racist and whatever else to criticize it.
00:56:31.300
Ableist was a big one. Yep. You were against him because of a stutter.
00:56:35.140
Anti-stutterer, which is an interesting accusation for anyone. And we went through that whole period.
00:56:40.760
And then the debate occurred and it became clear for them the better thing to occur was people to
00:56:50.440
know about that. All of a sudden, all of the things that had built up over all of those years
00:56:55.520
were now beneficial to the left. And we entered into this golden age of media for about two weeks
00:57:02.380
where all of a sudden they were able to get these incredible insights from source after source after
00:57:09.760
source. Every journalist turned into the person from, you know, every, you know, Watergate movie.
00:57:16.120
Right. Like that person is like, you know, they're down there. They're in the parking garage.
00:57:21.040
They're getting every single hit. They were able to uncover all these amazing things in such a short
00:57:26.260
period of time. We are now at the situation where we have at least three books that I know of,
00:57:32.180
maybe more. One from someone at the Hill, one from Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson. To be fair to Alex
00:57:39.420
in particular, he really did cover this at the time. And then a third from authors combined of the New
00:57:47.180
York Times, the Washington Post, and I think it's the Wall Street Journal are like three leading
00:57:52.000
newspapers together. All of this is out now. All of this after the fact. And I, there's a good
00:58:01.720
chunk of me that just wants to be angry about it and say, wait a minute, where the heck was everybody
00:58:05.640
in the middle of this? Why weren't you covering this then? And I do think that that is a valuable
00:58:09.660
conversation to have at some point. But I also don't want to discourage this uncovering process.
00:58:15.900
I really think we were in a really dangerous situation as a nation, Megan. We were put in a
00:58:21.440
position where us, all of our children, our parents were in a situation where we were having a country
00:58:26.760
run by someone who couldn't get through sentences. It wasn't just he got on stage and stuttered.
00:58:33.640
This is a guy who obviously had lost it. This happened back in the Woodrow Wilson
00:58:38.340
administration with his wife after he had a stroke. His wife was basically running the country.
00:58:43.160
It seemed like Dr. Jill was running the country at some point. That's not constitutional. That's
00:58:47.920
not allowed. There's potential criminal cover up type stuff here. Yeah. And yeah, we focused on a
00:58:55.660
lot of stuff. A lot of it very interesting since Republicans have gone in. Like, you know, I kind
00:58:59.820
of wanted to see what was in the JFK files. Sure. But this is right here. It's happening right now.
00:59:04.740
It just affected us. And this should be a bigger focus. We should have major congressional
00:59:09.020
investigations. No, they want us to care about Signalgate. They want us. Yeah. Pete Hegseth used
00:59:15.540
Signal to discuss a lot of things. I don't care. Shut up and move on. You just spare me your your
00:59:23.520
full outrage. I don't believe you. You want to bring him down because he's Trump's guy.
00:59:29.280
You don't give a shit about that. If you cared about the fact that he had a signal conversation
00:59:33.600
with his wife, with details that he shouldn't have shared ostensibly with his wife, then you
00:59:39.400
would have cared about the fact that Jill Biden was president. You didn't care. So stop it. Take
00:59:46.400
a seat. I'm no longer listening to you and I'm not alone. Yeah, no, you're totally right. And I
00:59:52.200
first of all, can't listen to them about any of this nonsense. This is massive. This is the president
00:59:57.200
of the United States who was just checked out while we were. It was a terrifying time. Who God
01:00:04.100
only knows? Think of the he was micromanaging a situation between Russia and Ukraine. Think about
01:00:10.540
what stopped us from World War Three in that period, Megan. Vladimir Putin's restraint and Joe Biden's
01:00:16.500
competence. Those two things were the only two walls between us and World War Three. We went through
01:00:23.360
all of that period. And here's the thing. Every one of these people, they're all coming out. They're
01:00:27.340
all giving their quotes now. They're all talking to these authors. I encourage it. I want it to
01:00:30.520
happen. I want to know all their names. I want to know all the conversations and all the things they
01:00:33.920
say, because it should be the basis of a massive investigation. Every text they sent, they're
01:00:38.620
complaining about Signal now. Every text they sent through that period should be able to be recovered
01:00:44.100
by the U.S. government in an investigation, an investigation that must happen.
01:00:48.660
That's right. In fact, there's no reason not to do it, especially all the messages that they
01:00:53.840
exchanged on Signal, since they're so horrified by the use of Signal by a government official.
01:00:58.820
That's wonderful. I'm sure you had those same reactions when you were in office and finding
01:01:04.760
a way to communicate about Joe Biden's mental state. Let's just make sure, though. Let's trust but
01:01:09.100
verify. Listen to Psaki go on about how there was no cover up by either the media or Biden's aides.
01:01:18.660
Cover up is a very loaded term. Cover up is often like a crime, right? We're talking when people
01:01:26.060
use that. They say it's worse than the crime. People use that term as they relate to Watergate
01:01:30.540
or the covering up of not sharing public information about a war. And I'm not accusing
01:01:35.600
anybody of a crime. I understand. But other people have used that term. And I think it's a bit of a
01:01:39.520
dangerous term. Well, then you shouldn't have done it, that you should have thought about that when
01:01:44.760
you were. Because the thing about her is it's an obvious lie that she didn't know about Biden's
01:01:49.060
mental decline while she was working for him. Complete lie. I don't believe one word. But
01:01:55.940
it's not like she moved into a dumpster when she left MSNBC never to be seen again.
01:02:03.360
She went to MSNBC when she left the White House. She went to MSNBC and got her own show
01:02:10.620
where she could report on everything, including the fact that just three months later, he was
01:02:17.800
calling for a dead person at an event whose memorial video he had just watched. Where's
01:02:24.720
Jackie? Remember? He thought the dead people were alive and the alive people were dead. And again,
01:02:30.080
during her tenure, he didn't know what the word was for Pentagon or that Lloyd Austin was his sitting
01:02:34.940
sec deaf. So she has nowhere to go. No wonder she's worried about the use of the term cover-up.
01:02:42.720
Yeah. First of all, the term cover-up is completely legitimate. And the reason why it doesn't often
01:02:48.000
associate associated with a crime a lot of times. And a lot of times people do say the cover-up is
01:02:52.520
worse than the crime. All of that should apply here. I think that it's very likely that criminal
01:02:57.020
behavior actually occurred in this particular incident. And it is a massively serious one that we
01:03:01.600
can't just blow off. There's part of me that's just like, oh, God, thank God that's over. And I
01:03:05.440
want to run away from it. I understand that instinct. We have to look into this. This cannot happen for at
01:03:11.220
least a third time in U.S. history. We have to do something to stop this. There has to be more of a
01:03:17.580
process to be able to make this information come out at the time. So we know what's going on. And with
01:03:24.780
Psaki, she has a, you know, she, I think would, would probably be cleared of a lot of this stuff
01:03:30.340
because she did leave in 2022. God only knows if that's not why she left. It may very well have
01:03:34.360
been why she left. But beyond that, what's hilarious about her is she had daily insight on this guy,
01:03:41.760
seeing him behind the scenes over and over and over again. She says she missed it every step of the
01:03:45.480
way. Then she went to MSNBC, got her own show and watched every single one of his interviews,
01:03:50.800
every single one of his speeches, and still couldn't pick it up that entire time all the
01:03:55.120
way until that debate stage. And what does MSNBC do with the information when you have a person who
01:04:01.160
has that sort of ability to pick up on trends? What do they do? Promote her. That's what they did.
01:04:07.240
They gave her a better time slot and probably more money because that perfectly encapsulates the media
01:04:13.780
right now. If you are willing to take that embarrassment, that's got to be embarrassing for her.
01:04:19.200
Toe the line. If you'll just sit there and soak it up and toe the line and go on television and say,
01:04:26.260
I didn't see the most obvious thing in the entire world and embarrass yourself like that.
01:04:30.580
Congratulations. You've been promoted. Welcome to the Democrat Party and MSNBC. But I repeat myself,
01:04:36.300
it's unbelievable. She's not fooling anybody. And good for Ben Smith for raising those questions.
01:04:42.100
Okay. 60 Minutes Sunday night. We talked about this last week, how they were out there
01:04:48.260
asking us to feel sorry for them that their executive producer quit saying, I feel like
01:04:53.180
we're getting corporate interference from above now. I'm not going to be able to produce with total
01:04:57.520
independence. There's somebody who's kind of overseeing us now to see if like we've gone too
01:05:02.320
crazy. And that's a bridge too far for me. Meanwhile, we showed the audience all the examples,
01:05:06.820
not all, just some of the examples of how biased they've been against Trump and Republicans
01:05:10.600
and in favor of Dems. It's just been egregious. So whatever oversight they're now getting has their
01:05:17.040
work cut out for them and is already failing because this hit piece they did on Trump on Sunday
01:05:23.040
night was a joke, Stu. It was all about Trump's lawfare against the law firms and how now he's issued
01:05:30.400
executive orders against certain law firms for hiring people Trump can't stand or who in the past
01:05:37.520
hired them saying, I'm not sure that's a law firm we want to do business with as the federal
01:05:40.660
government. I really don't. I'm not sure that we trust the law firm that would hire this Mark Elias
01:05:46.320
and Scott Pelley pulls up this lawyer, Mark Elias, like he's the only one who would talk to us.
01:05:51.320
Everybody's too scared. That is because he's made his whole life and career in Democrat politics,
01:05:56.760
trying to ruin Republicans and Trump in particular. He worked for the firm that hired Fusion GPS
01:06:04.400
and got the whole Russiagate hoax going against President Trump that represented Hillary Clinton.
01:06:11.100
This guy is up to his neck in disgusting leftist Democrat politics. Of course, he's going to speak
01:06:17.640
to them. And of course, Trump doesn't want the federal government to do business with him or a
01:06:22.920
firm that would hire this bad actor. Makes perfect sense to me. But to watch 60, you would think he just
01:06:28.800
plucked some random white shoe law firm guy out of the ether and decided to punish him. Um, and it was
01:06:36.560
dishonest. So here's Scott Pelley from the opening on 60 Sunday night. It was nearly impossible to get
01:06:45.780
anyone on camera for this story because of the fear now running through our system of justice.
01:06:52.840
Many firms and attorneys have been targeted, among them, Mark Elias, a longtime opponent of Trump,
01:07:00.340
who is the only lawyer the president has named who was willing to appear on 60 Minutes. Elias and
01:07:07.780
others are warning that Trump's assault on the legal profession threatens the rule of law itself.
01:07:15.520
Elias says that for him, it began with the president's personal grudge.
01:07:20.980
Donald Trump hates me because I fight hard and I fight for free and fair elections. I insist on
01:07:27.540
fighting for democracy in court, fighting for voting rights in court, and insist on telling the truth
01:07:32.140
about what the outcome of the 2020 election was. Okay. So they treat what Mark Elias did to Trump
01:07:40.700
in a passing reference. He, he, he includes the following line. Um,
01:07:47.120
there were allegations raised by Elias of, uh, in 2016 of shady dealings with Russia by Trump and
01:07:54.980
his campaign. He's right that the FBI could not corroborate what was described as rumor.
01:08:00.760
At least one allegation was promoted to the media by Clinton campaign representatives when Mark Elias
01:08:05.620
was general counsel. One, at least one allegation promoted to the media by Clinton campaign reps
01:08:13.020
when Mark Elias was general counsel. So he was just the harmless general counsel. And one allegation
01:08:18.080
related to Russia gate was promoted by, um, his, by the Clinton campaign, which they represented when
01:08:24.420
he was, that is absolute. They did not mention the fact that he was an architect of the whole Russian
01:08:31.460
collusion hoax back in 2016. He was at Pertins Coy law firm, which hired fusion GPS, the Apple research
01:08:39.280
firm on behalf of Hillary Clinton's campaign and the DNC to prepare the fraudulent Russian dossier, which
01:08:44.500
fueled the FBI investigation wound up being the basis, uh, indirectly for the FISA warrants. They got to spy on
01:08:51.380
the team Trump, um, for this hoax. He runs this thing called democracy docket, which sues on behalf of
01:08:57.020
Democrats claims to be defending democracy. They left out the fact that he was sanctioned by the U S
01:09:03.300
court of appeals for the fifth circuit for unethical conduct. Just a couple of years ago in 2021, they
01:09:10.040
added in four total lawyers, all bash Trump, not one defended him. There was no Trump defender
01:09:17.760
featured at all on 60. And this is the new 60 that's got the corporate overseer to make sure they're
01:09:25.160
fair to Trump. Um, it's a fail. Yes. A massive, massive failure. There's, I mean, I can't even
01:09:33.860
remember the last time I saw a segment on 60 minutes that kind of came off as balanced and fair. I mean,
01:09:39.020
I would love them to exist in that world. You know, I would love, I think we really do have a need for a
01:09:45.360
show like 60 minutes and it's actual, uh, in, in the theoretical form, I suppose that it has been
01:09:50.740
proposed over the years of fair journalists, people, you know, maybe, maybe have spending high
01:09:55.380
amounts of resources to go after stories that people aren't watching that closely. That would
01:09:59.020
be a great thing for this country. If it existed, it does not. Uh, you mentioned, uh, Steve Krakauer
01:10:05.600
earlier, he wrote a great book and he talked about this type of thing. We're like, I, as a conservative,
01:10:10.180
I'm often at odds with the media, but I, I'm rooting for it in a way I want it to, it would be helpful
01:10:16.480
to our country. If we had a media that didn't have to be constantly berated and mocked for their
01:10:22.520
incompetence, I would love that world. You just see here that it's not, it doesn't exist. I mean,
01:10:28.100
Mark Elias, you go back just on the Trump stuff, but I mean, he's been, he's been a democratic
01:10:31.600
operative for as long as I can remember being interested in politics. This guy has been around
01:10:37.600
forever. And yeah, you know, he, Trump probably does hate his guts for a good reason, but he tried
01:10:44.880
to destroy his presidency. He tried to destroy his life. He, he lied it in my opinion, constantly
01:10:51.680
about, uh, accusations against Donald Trump. And he's done it against tons of other conservatives.
01:10:57.860
He doesn't like as well. This is not a, um, a guy who's down the middle, a guy who is, uh, you know,
01:11:03.860
someone you can go to with like, Hey, give us your honest, unbiased opinion, uh, against Donald Trump.
01:11:09.280
That that's not who he is. They can say they couldn't get anybody on the air. I don't believe that.
01:11:14.880
You know, this is 60 minutes. I think they can get kind of the, at least they used to be able to
01:11:18.760
get anybody on the air. They wanted. I don't believe that people are that afraid. I see them
01:11:23.140
all the time. Megan, we have no shortage of clips to run of people saying incredibly insane things
01:11:28.460
against Donald Trump all the time in the media, in politics, journalists, artists, look at the Met
01:11:34.840
Gala. Everyone seems to be prancing about with their opinions about how much they hate Donald Trump.
01:11:39.840
These people are not hard to find. If these intimidations were real, then I think we'd
01:11:45.960
have a totally different world. You don't see a Met Gala happening in downtown Pyongyang.
01:11:52.320
They don't, there's no one to come up against Kim Jong-un and say those things. That is not the
01:11:57.580
society we live in. It's, it seems to be, in my view, rewarded to go out there and say negative
01:12:03.080
things about Donald Trump. And by the way, even if you're going to have four or five people on there
01:12:08.920
criticizing Trump, Scott Pelley well knows that there is a journalistic obligation to feature
01:12:15.180
someone there defending him. It's not hard to find somebody who will defend the president.
01:12:20.040
They didn't try. They have no interest in doing it. Honestly, it's so insane that the executive
01:12:26.580
producer quit after doing piece after piece bashing Trump and Sherry Redstone's trying to sell her
01:12:34.240
company, Paramount to Skydance. And she needs government approval for this. Paramount owns CBS.
01:12:42.960
So she put in this sort of overseer of 60 to make sure they didn't get too crazy. And that, I mean,
01:12:49.780
I don't know what it could mean if it's not, please stop unnecessarily and, and fakely bashing
01:12:55.360
President Trump in an unfair way because it's causing me trouble. If it doesn't mean that,
01:12:59.920
what does it mean? You're not leftist enough. That doesn't make any sense. Bill wouldn't have
01:13:03.860
quit over that. He quit because he thought that they were going to try to, you know, pull the
01:13:07.600
bridle back on the Trump coverage. And this is the first thing they do once Bill's got, I don't know,
01:13:12.420
it's like, none of it makes sense other than 60s committed to it's biased and, and nothing is going
01:13:16.980
to change that. Okay. Let's talk about this Dave Portnoy thing. Cause it's kind of interesting.
01:13:20.600
He was just on the show on Thursday. So Dave Portnoy, in addition to owning and running
01:13:24.600
Barstool Sports, um, which is a podcast network and he's got, just been betting that there was a
01:13:30.480
betting company that they were in business with for a while there. In any event, he also owns sports
01:13:34.900
bars and, um, at one of his sports bars, I guess if you win trivia night, something, you have to do
01:13:39.840
something to win the right to put like your little slogan on one of these light up whiteboards in the
01:13:45.060
bar. And these two guys who won, uh, decided to post F the Jews and then posted the video on
01:13:54.000
social media. This is from one of the Barstool bars in Philadelphia. Can we see the video?
01:13:59.220
Why aren't we showing the video? Let's show the video, please. Um, so this got a lot of people
01:14:03.620
upset and Dave Portnoy saw it and he's Jewish himself, but not that that's required to get
01:14:08.420
upset over this kind of thing, but he didn't appreciate that much. And, uh, he decided to
01:14:12.960
fire the employees who agreed to write that message that the patrons said they wanted. And then he
01:14:19.680
offered to send the two patrons who wanted that message to Auschwitz on his dime to go learn a
01:14:28.140
thing or two about that attitude and what it has led to in the past. And this created such a firestorm
01:14:35.960
around Dave that he was very angry. He posted online the other day, Philadelphia, this is where this
01:14:43.220
happened. The local news keeps calling me, calling me, calling me saying, we want an interview. We want
01:14:47.380
an interview. So he said, I'd give him an interview. You can see him sitting on his couch, talking to
01:14:51.280
his laptop. You know, it's clearly a zoom. And he said it got heated about halfway in. So his friend
01:14:55.920
or coworker pulled out his iPhone and started taping the exchange because the ABC Philadelphia
01:15:01.740
reported, it decided to make this into Barstool and its culture of hate. Its culture of hate is what
01:15:08.700
led to this. Notwithstanding how, how Dave was handling this. Watch. Here's a bit of that.
01:15:12.720
You're quoting two people. I have no idea who they are from a made up journal. So tell me where the
01:15:18.260
professors are from. The University of Virginia. Okay. So no, that's a real university. I'd like to
01:15:24.120
know how they're, where they're getting their information. I don't like quotes that I have no
01:15:27.980
idea where they're coming from. I totally disagree for what you just said. Who's creating more hate
01:15:33.440
right now in the world? And you say, Barstool, sports, and white men or college campuses?
01:15:42.140
You go ahead and answer. No, that was, that was a question to you. I'm the journalist. I'm asking you.
01:15:47.480
Well, I, I don't play by those rules. What does that mean? You're a journalist? I'm a journalist.
01:15:52.580
I run a, I run a big media organization. I just asked you a question. Let's answer the question.
01:15:56.860
No, I asked you a question. You answer the question. You answer the question. You're not, you're not running this interview.
01:16:08.180
I know. I love it. Awesome. God, that's what I want to do in every interview. I know he did it.
01:16:13.080
It's great. Right. Good for him for shoving it down her throat. She begged him for the interview.
01:16:18.460
She got a big, big exclusive with him in the midst of this firestorm. He's doing her a favor by sitting
01:16:23.980
with her and she decides to call him like the center of this culture of hate. It's your fault. Like
01:16:29.900
this is exactly how he should have handled her. Absolutely. It was a great way to handle it.
01:16:35.320
And, you know, he's completely right in the points that he's making. First of all, he is Jewish,
01:16:40.060
which is, I mean, look, as you point out, I, I would, I was very angry. And when I heard this story,
01:16:45.420
you know, I, I am a big supporter of, of Israel. I think they're very much in the right of what's,
01:16:50.620
what happened after certainly October 7th in the time after I'm happy what they're doing
01:16:55.080
today in the middle East, all of that being said, you don't need to be Jewish. You don't need to be
01:17:00.020
a supporter of Israel to see that it's crazy to blame a Jewish guy for something that happened
01:17:04.940
for the couple of patrons at a bar that he owns that that's completely insane. First of all,
01:17:11.120
and his point about the universities is crucial. They, there are people going around, not just
01:17:18.620
saying bad things about Jews, but literally harassing Jewish students, targeting them,
01:17:26.720
threatening their lives on a daily basis. There are Charlottesville style protests in city after
01:17:34.680
city, after city across this country against Jews. And which seems to make it okay. I was just
01:17:40.900
watching video of, of, uh, uh, an area that was being taken over by pro Palestinian protesters,
01:17:46.220
which is a nice way of saying the Hamas wing of the party. Um, and going there and, uh, taking over
01:17:53.060
establishments. These are things, again, we were told that January 6th was the worst thing in the
01:17:56.540
world. They're doing that in, in institutions around the country. This stuff is happening. It's
01:18:02.140
real. Uh, we have seen it all over the place, uh, in high minded Ivy league style schools, not drunk
01:18:11.020
people at bars, people who are planning protests for weeks, organizing people on these concepts of
01:18:19.080
outdated, awful antisemitism that has been around for as long as unfortunately humanity has been
01:18:25.300
thinking about it. I, you know, I thought we were, I thought we could get past that at some point,
01:18:28.980
apparently not. And those people get praised. The Ilan Omars of the world get praised. She just
01:18:35.600
yesterday said Israel was involved in a genocide on a Twitter when responding to JD Vance. All of
01:18:42.080
this is going on and we're supposed to be worried about Dave Portnoy, a guy who does quality sports
01:18:47.920
content, owns a couple of bars, talks about betting and is Jewish himself. We're supposed to care about
01:18:53.620
his drunk patrons. That's the standard we're supposed to hit. I'm glad she slammed that. He slammed
01:18:59.640
that laptop right in the face. He crushed it. It turns out one of the students who, I don't know if
01:19:05.480
a student, one of the patrons who he offered a trip to Auschwitz, then came back. And after getting
01:19:13.680
suspended at his university for, I guess, posting this video online without apology, he got suspended
01:19:21.560
from his university, came back and said, I was just posting it as a citizen journalist. And Dave came out
01:19:27.600
and said, that's very different from what I was originally told. And, uh, withdrew the offer to send
01:19:33.400
this young man to Auschwitz. And, uh, we don't know this young man's name. It's remained anonymous,
01:19:39.040
I think, until now. So in any event, that's what's happening over at Barstool. Well done. Dave Portnoy
01:19:44.440
handled it perfectly. Stu, a pleasure, my friend. Thank you for being here. And my regards to the
01:19:49.880
beautiful superstar of this show, the real Lisa. Yes, the real Lisa. And I will say, I pretty much had a good

01:23:29.580
summer of 2024. Remember this message, which was everywhere. Project 2025 will destroy America.
01:23:38.780
Look it up. Project 2025, a far-right manifesto that has hundreds of pages of extremist policies
01:23:45.060
to destroy the federal government as we know it. I'm here to tell you what it is. It's a far-right
01:23:50.440
plan for destroying democracy. Project 2025 is an obvious and chilling blueprint for a
01:23:56.300
Christo-fascist future. Folks, Project 2025 is the biggest attack on our system of government and our
01:24:02.860
personal freedom that has ever been proposed in the history of this country. Democrats, this is some real
01:24:07.440
talk for you. If you're not spending every second of every day all next week taking a lead pipe and a
01:24:17.640
two-by-four to Donald Trump and Project 2025, get out of politics. Remember that woman who walked out of
01:24:25.180
the Democratic National Convention with a huge purported book titled Project 2025? They thought
01:24:31.100
that this was going to be the thing that brought it home for Kamala Harris that took her to the
01:24:35.660
promised land. Well, how'd that work out? Well, you're about to meet the man who is the president
01:24:42.380
of the group behind 2025, the project. And it's called the Heritage Foundation. Kevin Roberts is their
01:24:50.980
president. He's also a former college president and he's author of the book, Dawn's Early Light,
01:24:56.260
Taking Back Washington to Save America. Kevin, I mean, you heard all the terrible things they were
01:25:02.140
saying about effectively you and Heritage. How do you plead, sir? Oh, I plead guilty for loving America
01:25:09.160
so much that we would put together 110 conservative groups to do what? To have the blueprint for
01:25:15.540
dismantling the administrative state for the sake of self-governance and freedom. So I'm glad that
01:25:20.560
radical leftists dislike us so much as we say at Heritage. When you're over the target, you're not
01:25:25.760
catching flack. You're catching a lot of flack and obviously we're over the target when radical leftists
01:25:30.700
think that we're a real problem. Ultimately, though, let me say this, Megan, it's the American
01:25:35.240
people, not Heritage, who should be taking a victory lap because what President Trump is doing is what
01:25:40.580
conservatives have needed to do for several decades, and that's restore some common sense to
01:25:45.560
Washington, D.C. They would go through the list of Project 2025. It's like, you know, like trying to
01:25:50.880
decrease the number of abortions in the country and trying to secure the border. I was like, great.
01:25:55.760
Cool. Like this to me is like an advertising for the Republican Party, but the left treated it like
01:25:59.900
it was a little Nazi manual that President Trump was going to just make into law as soon as he got
01:26:04.180
in there. It actually boomeranged on them. I mean, we computed at Heritage, even though we weren't
01:26:08.940
seeking this, you know, we're just a public policy group. They gave us a billion dollars of earned media
01:26:13.740
value. And what happened was, especially in the last month of the campaign, as you suggested,
01:26:18.440
not only was it becoming a failing tactic for the Harris campaign, it was boomeranging on them in some
01:26:24.500
swing districts where people said, you know, I went to Project 2025.org. I don't necessarily agree
01:26:30.260
with everything, but I agree with the top 10 proposals they have. And I want to vote for
01:26:34.920
candidates who support this. So ultimately, it was a huge wind in our sails. Again, President Trump and
01:26:40.820
Vice President Vance deserve all the credit for what they're doing. If we have played a minuscule role
01:26:45.500
in helping to offer some suggestions on policies and people, that's what Heritage has done since 1980.
01:26:51.440
And the left also hates it, Megan, when I say this, we're going to do this every four years
01:26:56.460
until the end of time, because it's what we're supposed to do to help men and women in elective
01:27:01.280
office. Well, you've also been very kind to yours, truly. Whenever we go down to DC, you guys have
01:27:06.200
these amazing studios and you let us use them. So I'm grateful to you on a personal and professional
01:27:10.240
basis. Okay. Let's talk about, because you are a former college president and the issue of
01:27:15.740
colleges under Trump has exploded. This was a campaign promise. He said he would dismantle the
01:27:21.240
DEI that has infected all of these elite universities. And he's really, not only is
01:27:27.360
he doing it, but he's fighting for it. So he issued these executive orders. Now he could just sit back
01:27:32.660
when they fight them legally and phone it in, but he is fighting tooth and nail. Like you want to
01:27:38.340
give me a hard time about it. I'm going to take away this source of funding for you. I'm going to
01:27:41.780
take away that source of funding for you. Like he won't rest until they actually do scrub these
01:27:46.300
campuses of this very dangerous ideology, which of course has not only just caused problems in
01:27:52.880
general, but has resulted in large part in the antisemitism that we're seeing on college campuses,
01:27:57.000
which when made manifest toward Jewish students is illegal. Um, the latest is, this is from the New
01:28:03.980
York times dated today that, uh, they are seeking to force Harvard back to the negotiating table on its
01:28:10.760
list of demands, like to clean up the antisemitism problems, et cetera. Um, by saying you will not be
01:28:18.200
eligible for any new federal grants, no more federal money, basically in a contentious letter
01:28:24.920
to the president, Alan, Alan Garber, uh, saying you're not going to, you shouldn't be seeking grants
01:28:30.740
from the federal government since none will be provided signed education secretary, Linda McMahon.
01:28:36.240
And she goes on and just a scathing piece about all the sins they've committed. What do you make of
01:28:41.400
this? Well, first of all, let me start with that letter from secretary McMahon, who, by the way,
01:28:46.580
like every other cabinet secretary is doing such a great job. It was hot fire and it's so righteous
01:28:51.920
on behalf of common sense toward an institution, Harvard, that used to be the pride and joy of this
01:28:57.080
country, even for those of us who didn't go there and never really wanted to. Instead, what Harvard has
01:29:03.040
become is sort of the icon, the avatar for the radical left. And having been a college president,
01:29:09.080
Megan, I will tell you that if I had been the president of Harvard and was receiving these
01:29:13.640
missives from Donald Trump, I would have picked up the phone and said, Mr. President, can I come meet
01:29:18.140
with you for half an hour? And let's talk about our shared goal, which is that we love this country.
01:29:23.420
We want to educate students. When we receive public money, we want to really treasure it and,
01:29:28.600
and actually further science, further study, further American values. But he could not do that
01:29:34.280
because Harvard doesn't believe in those things. And so the gig is up. Those of us, whether like me,
01:29:39.920
an educator, or you, a very smart observer in journalism and news, understand is that the Ivy
01:29:46.080
Leagues and most four-year universities in this country have been using the public's money against
01:29:51.480
us by implementing all this DEI nonsense to say nothing of the very steady decline in educational
01:29:58.320
attainment we've seen with four-year and six-year graduation rates. So of all the things I'm
01:30:03.340
excited about that this administration has done in its first few months, it is this effort on education
01:30:08.660
broadly, but on Harvard in particular, that I would put at the top of my list.
01:30:12.580
It's like, what exactly do you think Trump should do with Harvard and Columbia and Princeton and Yale
01:30:19.720
and all these colleges that are, that are doing this, that are committed to this DEI
01:30:24.900
way of teaching and being. It's like, not just teaching, it's the hiring, it's the administrative
01:30:31.020
staff, it's what they want to see in the students who apply there, it's in the lesson plans and the
01:30:35.640
syllabi. I mean, it's just ubiquitous. So what should he be doing to make sure they do what his
01:30:43.460
Two things. Number one, the letter from Secretary McMahon lays this out really clearly, and it is
01:30:49.900
a hundred percent solid ground legally and morally. And she says, look, in essence, you're free to do
01:30:55.440
whatever you want to do as a private institution, but don't think that you can do that and also take
01:31:01.120
billions of dollars of public money. If in fact, you're going to take those public grants in order
01:31:06.180
to fulfill federal government scientific research priorities, you have to follow by the rules.
01:31:11.140
Harvard thinks that it's more important than the federal government and the American people. In
01:31:15.320
essence, they want to have their cake and eat it too. And so what the Trump administration needs to
01:31:19.860
do is cut off those funds, which the secretary has said will happen. Number two, it needs to
01:31:25.260
continue to fight them in court. And I believe the Trump administration will prevail. But the third
01:31:29.880
thing, which is unique to Harvard because of the scale of the implementation of DEI there, is that I
01:31:35.440
think the president is right to threaten the tax exempt status of a university. Those of us who run
01:31:40.260
nonprofits would not want that threat being bandied about by any president of the United States. But
01:31:46.200
there's precedent here when a previous administration went against Bob Jones University for doing what?
01:31:52.220
In essence, a form of DEI using a different definition. And so I think they're on solid ground
01:31:57.360
here. In essence, Harvard has picked a fight that it's not going to win. And I think it's endangering the
01:32:02.640
future of the university. It's so amazing to me that they're really committed to this. You know,
01:32:08.940
like what DEI really is, is discrimination. That's what they're fighting for. They want,
01:32:12.560
they want the ongoing ability to discriminate against whites and Jews as the case may be. And
01:32:17.880
it's really, really important to them. They are willing to die trying. You look at, uh, just,
01:32:23.060
just on Tuesday, uh, there's a piece in commentary today called defunding shouldn't stop with Harvard,
01:32:27.600
where they outlined the fact that their presidential task force on combating anti-Semitism and anti-Israel
01:32:32.540
bias. They released their final report. Then they had to do the one on combating, um,
01:32:38.220
bias against Muslims too, as though that's an equal problem at Harvard's campus. Sure, Jan, sure.
01:32:43.960
Uh, it's a 300 plus page document and they, they conclude it reveals the depth of the university's
01:32:49.260
systemic bias against Jewish students. Many students quote described experiences of being bullied
01:32:54.120
or shunned by fellow students, singled out for negative attention by instructors and feeling
01:32:58.360
ignored by administrators. Fear of encountering hostility has led some Jewish students to conceal
01:33:03.600
their Jewish identity from classmates. Um, one row I count among my peers, many students who regularly
01:33:11.140
posted social media images like decolonization is not a metaphor with Jewish blood dripping from the
01:33:17.200
text. One graduate student said, imagine go trying to go to school and learn in this environment.
01:33:23.040
And yet they're still holding on the Harvard is as are the other universities to their ability to
01:33:28.800
teach and run the university just exactly as they see fit. Like we should trust them.
01:33:33.720
It's so grotesque. I mean, can, can you imagine that in 2025, we're having to have this conversation
01:33:39.480
about any university, but in this case, Harvard, supposedly one of the top universities in the world
01:33:44.600
defending the implementation of anti-Semitism such that if a, as you said, a Jewish student is on campus,
01:33:51.620
it probably is prudent from their point of view to hide their religious identity in the United States
01:33:57.100
of America in 2025. This tells you everything you need to know. But let me say, especially for my,
01:34:02.980
my Jewish friends who are very worried about their own kids and grandkids at these campuses,
01:34:07.260
as tragic and evil as this is, there is a silver lining here because president Trump is willing to play
01:34:13.920
ball. And it's this, this is highlighting the defense of anti-Semitism by Ivy league presidents
01:34:20.200
is highlighting for the American people who weren't quite sure this was such a big problem anymore
01:34:25.380
that it is. And what it's doing is sustaining the popular will for the kind of reform that needs to
01:34:30.940
happen to eradicate anti-Semitism period, but also to do the kind of higher education reform that many
01:34:36.560
of us, myself included, have been involved in for 25 years. I am therefore, all of us really at
01:34:41.920
heritage, Megan are really optimistic about how all of this will, will turn out.
01:34:46.880
Yeah, because it's, it goes well beyond anti-Semitism and obviously we need to make
01:34:50.920
sure that there's still room to criticize Israel. That's a, that's a different kettle of fish. You
01:34:56.140
can criticize Israel all day long and say that their response is disproportionate. All that's fine.
01:35:00.560
But you know, this is what decolonization looks like with the murder of a bunch of Jews. Now you've
01:35:06.020
crossed a line. Now it's different. Intimidation tactics that stopped Jews from going across campus
01:35:11.320
started class. You've crossed a totally different line and the feds have an obligation under the law
01:35:15.840
to step in and stop you. But it's so beyond just Jewish people. It's whites. That's the truth,
01:35:21.700
Kevin. All these DEI policies, they're illegal. It's already illegal to discriminate against anyone
01:35:27.940
because of their skin color, including whites. But they do it every day. And I feel like they'll get
01:35:34.020
rid of that over their dead bodies. Oh, they will. That's, that's the hill that they're going to die on.
01:35:39.100
And a couple of things on that is you talk often on your show in this era in which we have seen
01:35:44.740
the deterioration of properly ordered masculinity. One of the rotten fruits of that is that we see a
01:35:50.980
steadily declining percentage of the American university student body being male. We obviously
01:35:56.120
want everyone to succeed, all women and all men. But it's a real concern for me as an educator, someone
01:36:01.880
who mentors a lot of younger people here in Washington, DC, to see that DEI has become so
01:36:08.200
ingrained in our society that we almost, even if we hate it, and obviously you and I and your audience
01:36:14.020
do, we don't realize how pervasive it has become in the thinking, especially of younger generations of
01:36:20.180
Americans. That's why we have to fight so hard in policy, but also informally to root it out and be
01:36:26.200
aware that these university presidents of the Ivy leagues are not going to stop fighting. They're
01:36:32.020
going to continue to defend anti-Semitism, but the real cradle for them, that they are the altar that
01:36:37.180
they want to defend, is to make sure that white men do not get an equal chance of attending their
01:36:43.640
universities. The only proof you need of that is to look at their admissions rates. And ultimately what
01:36:48.500
you and I are saying, what President Trump is saying, is very common sense. How about we
01:36:53.040
re-implement meritocracy in universities, in every kind of industry for success? That's what the
01:36:59.500
American people voted for last November. So hats off to President Trump for trying to re-implement
01:37:04.220
that. It's the American dream. He's not afraid of the fight at all. So as we close out his first
01:37:10.160
hundred days, that was on last Tuesday, how do you think he's doing? In particular, how do you do
01:37:16.860
and how is he doing on the tariff policy, which is by far the most controversial thing he's unveiled?
01:37:21.200
Look, we'd give him an A or an A-plus for the first hundred days, and we're pretty tough
01:37:25.340
graders at Heritage. We don't believe in great inflation. And the reason it's not quite an A-plus
01:37:29.800
is I think that where he's landed on the tariff regime now is where it should have been four weeks
01:37:35.880
ago. We at Heritage support the philosophy of a reciprocal tariff regime that uses tariffs as a
01:37:42.380
temporary tool of statecraft to exact fair trade, which is something we all believe in. And ultimately,
01:37:47.960
that's where the president has gotten or is very close to establishing that. Ultimately,
01:37:53.240
we believe the real fruit that will come from this regime of tariffs is to put the Chinese Communist
01:37:58.500
Party on an island because we have confidence in that we would still rate the administration's
01:38:03.540
first hundred days as an A. In every other respect, they've hit the ball out of the park.
01:38:08.460
And let me just say, if I may, kind of looking ahead to the next hundred days,
01:38:11.960
the success of the first hundred days will really hinge upon the ability of Congress as
01:38:17.040
soon as it possibly can to pass the reconciliation bill so that we can codify some of these successes.
01:38:23.180
Well, there are reports that Trump is asking for a record cut in spending, that he really
01:38:27.920
wants this budget to go back to the way it was decades ago in terms of government spending.
01:38:32.540
But the only thing that would increase would be the defense budget by some.
01:38:36.120
Do you think there's any chance that this Republican Congress will do that,
01:38:40.100
that they will cut spending by record levels, add to defense and pass tax cuts?
01:38:47.280
There is a chance. But, you know, I'm going to be honest. It's what we have to be at the Heritage
01:38:50.960
Foundation. The thin majority in the House, the non-filibuster-proof majority in the Senate for
01:38:56.380
Republicans means that both Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune have a very, very narrow path to walk.
01:39:02.920
At Heritage, we're trying to give them the air cover to be as aggressive as possible,
01:39:06.960
hopefully get to a trillion and a half dollars in spending cuts. And ultimately, when you do that
01:39:11.920
and you have the reform-minded defense secretary at the Pentagon, you can actually increase spending
01:39:17.460
on defense a little bit by providing for the munition systems for the next war rather than for
01:39:23.320
the last war. Ultimately, Megan, I do think there's a chance what we're trying to do at Heritage is
01:39:28.820
encourage our friends in Congress to get this done as quickly as possible, because what the American
01:39:33.860
people are looking for is some certainty about all of these questions.
01:39:37.960
Yeah. And Pete's made clear he's trying to replace over at the Pentagon the munitions that
01:39:41.840
we've been shipping over to Ukraine. I mean, it's not about like a barreling toward war at this point.
01:39:46.240
It's about trying to make sure we have our base covered. God forbid we were to need it.
01:39:52.380
He did announce today that he's firing a bunch of generals and like the top brass,
01:39:57.600
and he wants to take the money and resources that were going for those guys and supply it to the
01:40:03.440
warfighters. So we'll see what that looks like. It's been a pleasure, Kevin Roberts. I don't believe
01:40:07.940
what they said about you. It's not right. Megan, you are a national treasure. Thanks for everything
01:40:12.660
you do. It was a real pleasure to join you. Oh, I hope I see you again. All the best to you.
01:40:16.840
Uh, and we are back tomorrow with Chamath and Jason from the all in podcast, the besties,
01:40:23.640
two of the besties will come see us. They're always fun. We'll see you guys then.
01:40:31.800
Thanks for listening to the Megan Kelly show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
