The government released 63,000 pages of documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Is it possible that the CIA, the mob, the Soviets, the Israelis, the Cubans, the Fed, the Deep State, or some combination of those players were involved in the murder of a president?
00:00:59.900I made good on my promise because my show yesterday revealed precisely as much new information about the JFK assassination as is contained in those files.
00:01:11.280I want to see if I have this straight.
00:01:16.400People believe that President Kennedy was murdered by the CIA, the mob, the Soviets, the Israelis, the Cubans, the Fed, the Deep State, LBJ, George Bush, or some combination of those players.
00:01:31.600They believe that our government is so evil that it covered up the murder of a president for 60 years and then violated a federal law mandating the release specifically of those documents for 33 years.
00:01:45.620But now they believe the government is just going to tell us.
00:02:00.700You tell me what you find in those 60,000 pages.
00:02:05.240I can't wait to hear about the smoking gun, which I'm sure we're going to hear about any day now, probably right after we learn the real story about Jeffrey Epstein.
00:03:30.800The thing that I'm laughing about is not the notion that JFK was not killed by a lone gunman who had no connections to anyone.
00:03:39.500I'm not laughing at the suggestion that some other groups or individuals were involved in the murder of JFK.
00:03:46.000It is totally plausible to me that JFK was actually murdered by the Italian-Jewish-Cuban mobsters who worked for George Bush and Lyndon Johnson.
00:04:07.520The thing that I'm laughing at is that the people who think that believe that the government's just going to tell us.
00:04:17.080If that happened, if it were some combination or just even the individual conspiracy plot by the CIA or the Soviets or the Israelis or the Cubans or the LBJ or the George Bush or whatever, you will never find out about that.
00:05:27.400Now, turning away from Kennedy, but still speaking of Harvard men.
00:05:32.500This article is like an Onion headline or a Babylon Bee headline.
00:05:38.100Harvard University is launching a remedial math course because Harvard students, Harvard is supposed to be the best, at least one of the best schools in the country.
00:05:49.900Harvard students can't do basic math anymore.
00:06:09.420To address pandemic learning loss, the Harvard Math Department will pilot a new introductory course aimed at rectifying a lack of foundational algebra skills among Harvard students, according to Harvard's Director of Introductory Math, Brendan A. Kelly.
00:06:25.620The course, Math MA 5, will run along other math courses with an expanded five-day schedule.
00:06:33.780They need five days a week to teach the Harvard students remedial math.
00:06:37.320But they say it's totally understandable because of pandemic learning loss.
00:06:45.180I understand the COVID lockdowns did interrupt learning at schools all around the country.
00:06:51.980That should not have affected Harvard students.
00:06:58.940To get into Harvard, even today, at least until recently, was still really, really hard.
00:07:06.820To get into those top schools, I'm not saying to graduate, to graduate Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, all those schools, is actually relatively easy.
00:07:57.600Harvard removed the requirement that students take the SAT and ACT to get in.
00:08:02.680Harvard removed standardized testing to let its students in.
00:08:05.860This is also around the time that Harvard was fighting tooth and nail to keep its affirmative action racial discrimination policies in place.
00:08:11.680If I were a gambling man, I suspect that has a lot more to do with Harvard students not being able to do basic math than COVID.
00:08:22.180Now, 2020, Harvard says we're going to get rid of the SAT, the ACT.
00:08:29.460They've announced last year they're going to bring the SAT and the ACT back.
00:08:33.660Because the students are not of the same intellectual caliber that they used to be.
00:08:38.440Because it turns out standardized tests aren't everything, but they do reflect some realities of competence and intelligence.
00:08:47.360They just do, and Harvard doesn't like that, and Harvard has this vision, this social justice, leftist, DEI vision that it's going to create a class that focuses more on racial identity or sexual identity or blah, blah, blah over raw intelligence, ability to learn, academic skills.
00:09:22.680We now, we were that thing because of our extreme academic rigor.
00:09:28.040We now want to confer that prestige on people based on criteria other than academic rigor.
00:09:33.640We want to confer it to people based on their race or based on their sexual desires or based on their social justice, leftist activism in their extracurriculars in high school, whatever.
00:09:46.560They can do that, but they cannot then expect the students to be able to keep up with the old academic standards.
00:09:54.140The inevitable result of that kind of social engineering is to lower academic standards to the point that you now have remedial math at Harvard.
00:10:08.960Speaking of all of those sexual minorities and all of these kind of DEI initiatives, Cynthia Nixon is an actress.
00:10:20.920I think she ran for governor of New York too.
00:10:22.280Cynthia Nixon's an actress and she has just come out at some rally and made the claim that not only is her child trans, the child she has with her quote unquote wife, but her nieces or nephews are trans.
00:10:40.800And actually her children's friends are trans.
00:10:45.520And well, she can explain the pattern.
00:10:47.380I am here today as the mother of a proud trans man.
00:10:58.140I am here today as the aunt of a proud trans man.
00:11:12.220My wife and I, our lives are filled with the most amazing, beautiful, brave trans people, young and old, but especially young.
00:11:26.500And the idea that this city is filled with young people who thought they had a place to go where they could receive the highest care and that place has now been shut to them sickens me, sickens me to my core.
00:11:44.240It sickens her that now that the people have elected politicians who don't want to trans the kids because don't you know, every kid she knows is trans.
00:11:58.940Her kid is trans, her kid is trans, her kid's friends are trans, her family members, her kids are trans, all the kids are trans.
00:12:13.440What's in the water at the Nixon household?
00:12:15.200I did the math and I'm being very conservative with my numbers here because she says, you know, my children or my nieces or my friends or so.
00:12:26.960I don't, I don't, she could be talking about 10 kids.
00:12:28.760She could be, but let's just say it's four.
00:12:30.600Let's just say it's one kid for her, two kids for her sister or her friend or whatever, and one friend of the kids.
00:12:40.120Let's just, let's just leave it at that.
00:12:43.060It seems that she's implying it's more kids, but let's be really conservative and let's also be really generous and say 1% of the population is trans or identifies as trans because trans isn't real.
00:12:55.180That means that there is a one in 100 million chance of Cynthia Nixon knowing all these so-called trans kids.
00:13:10.120But actually the odds are a lot better than that.
00:13:12.860If trans identity is not a real natural thing, but is rather a social contagion and an ideology into which kids have been indoctrinated in recent years by people like Cynthia Nixon.
00:13:45.120Balance of nature fruits and veggies is the most convenient way to get whole fruits and vegetables daily, especially if you focused on creating a healthier, happier lifestyle.
00:13:54.040Nature is pretty good at giving us the nutrients we need through our fruits and vegetables.
00:13:57.440So balance of nature takes fruits and vegetables, freeze dries them, turns them into a powder, then puts them into a capsule.
00:14:02.020You take your fruit and veggie capsules every day, then your body knows what to do with them.
00:14:05.940Simple as balance of nature is just one ingredient of a balanced lifestyle.
00:14:11.440It has no intention to replace a healthy diet, exercise, sleep, or any other healthy habits.
00:14:15.720For me, it's the only aspect of a healthy lifestyle, actually.
00:14:19.180But for some people, you know, they're doing those other things, too.
00:18:25.540Those guys are losers and they're completely useless.
00:18:27.960They're not going to give you anything that you want.
00:18:30.560But I want a full, explicit apology written down by the parent company, Unilever, right now.
00:18:38.760If we get a direct, specific apology, we are sorry, we should not have promoted abortionists, then maybe we loosen up and we eat Ben and Jerry's again.
00:18:53.460If we don't get that, I see no reason ever to eat their slop garbage again.
00:18:56.920Now, speaking of business and commerce, the Commerce Secretary for President Trump, Howard Lutnick, has some very good news for the majority of Americans.
00:19:10.120Not for every single American, but for the vast majority of Americans.
00:19:13.560For all Americans who earn less than $150,000 per year, the Trump administration wants you to know your federal tax rate might go down to zero.
00:19:26.920So, we are the buyer of everybody's commodities, products, goods and services.
00:22:53.420They make billions tracking everything you do online.
00:22:56.140Every purchase, every location, every conversation, your most personal beliefs, all packaged into a profile that they sell to marketers, activists, and, yes, politicians looking to influence you.
00:23:08.160You could go completely off the grid, good luck, or you could just use expressvpn.
00:23:12.220These companies track you through your IP address, your digital fingerprint.
00:23:16.380ExpressVPN gives you a new IP address in a location that you choose, making you virtually untraceable.
00:23:21.380With ExpressVPN, your connection is encrypted and routed through secure servers.
00:23:25.020Even your internet provider cannot see your activity, which is important since they are legally allowed to sell your data to whomever they please.
00:25:17.640That was a good attack from the 1980s up through the Tea Party era.
00:25:22.980That's not really a precise attack in the Trump era, 2016 onward, in the populist era.
00:25:29.700Because the Republican Party is no longer, I don't know that it ever really was, it certainly shouldn't have been, the party of small government.
00:25:37.680There's no such thing as a small government in a country of over 300 million people.
00:25:40.680There is a party of limited government, and there is a good argument for limitations on the government.
00:25:51.540He wants a government that levies tariffs.
00:25:54.020He wants a government that is muscular, that deports people, that enforces social policy and norms and standards, that annexes Greenland, that invades Canada, apparently.
00:26:07.260He, this is not your father's Republican Party.
00:26:11.480It's your great, it's your great, great grandfather's Republican Party.
00:26:14.660It's your great grandfather's Republican Party.
00:26:16.180But it's not your dad's Republican Party.
00:26:17.580There has been a change, as we've been observing.
00:34:58.140It was a particularly wonderful St. Joseph's Day.
00:35:02.820Now speaking of President Trump's reorganization of the government.
00:35:06.000And recalibration of the Republican platform and ideology.
00:35:11.160Vox.com, a left wing outlet, noticed something recently.
00:35:20.080Noticed that President Trump is attacking his opponents in a rather different way than Republicans traditionally have.
00:35:28.280Vox.com pointed out, after canceling $400 million in federal grants for Columbia University last week, Trump officials sent a letter demanding the school make sweeping changes to its policies and governance or risk losing the rest of its federal money.
00:35:46.460And the basis for Trump's threat was civil rights law.
00:35:49.860Christopher Caldwell has a very good piece in Compact magazine right now on this shift.
00:35:55.740That Republicans for years have been running against the political machine, the weapon of civil rights law that the Democrats have used to crush their enemies for 60 years now.
00:36:08.120And the argument that Republicans had been making is that civil rights law creates a kind of parallel constitution, and then it violates the text and tradition of the constitution consistently, and it's only ever used.
00:36:25.080It's got this nice-sounding sales pitch.
00:36:27.600You know, we're defending civil rights, but it's only ever used by the left to crush the right.
00:36:32.260Chris Caldwell wrote an excellent book on that, The Age of Entitlement.
00:36:34.840But what Vox.com is noticing, what Caldwell's noticing, what a number of people are noticing right now, is that Trump has flipped the script.
00:36:43.300He's not just running against civil rights law.
00:36:48.000Civil rights law, which is a misnomer because it actually diminishes or outright denies the legitimate rights of most people.
00:37:45.140More evidence of, it's occurring to me, it didn't even occur to me when I was putting the show script together last night.
00:37:52.680This is even more evidence of the distinguishing feature of the Trump era of the last 10 years, which is the shift away from procedural norms towards substantive goods.
00:38:08.380He sees the country as it is, and he's going to make the most of what he can with what he has.
00:38:15.620Trump is looking, and he says, okay, how does our law really work?
00:38:20.240If he were an ideologue, he'd say, well, you know, it works like Schoolhouse Rock with a bill up on Capitol Hill, and this is how the government should work.
00:38:27.680And the way that it actually does work in practice is a perversion of that, of the great vision of our founding fathers, and that's why we need to completely ignore the bureaucracy.
00:38:43.640What I do know is how the government actually works because I have been a media mogul businessman for 40 years, 50 years maybe.
00:38:51.400And I've dealt with these politicians, and I've bought them off, and I've gotten things done, and I've built buildings, and I've testified before Congress, and I know how the government actually works.
00:39:02.040And the way our government actually works is largely through the civil rights law regime, the parallel constitution.
00:39:10.200Okay, well, if that's how the government actually works, and I want to do stuff with the government, I just got elected to run the government in a good way, I guess I got to deal with that.
00:39:17.940Okay, well, I guess that means I'm going to use that regime to stop the nonsense at Columbia.
00:39:26.020I'm going to use that regime to punish my opponents, the people who are enemies of the common good of America.
00:39:31.660I guess I'm just going to deal with it in reality.
00:39:35.520That's the thesis of the Trump administration.
00:39:38.980Is it any wonder that he has been a much more effective Republican than, I guess, pretty much any in our lifetime?
00:39:48.440Speaking of civil rights, big news story out.
00:39:54.740The Italian parents of a child recently born in the USA via surrogacy say that they're too afraid to return home because they fear prosecution for procreative tourism.
00:40:52.760Giorgio Meloni, the prime minister of Italy, has passed a law to defend the rights of the child and said you can't have procreative tourism.
00:41:01.360We're not going to allow human beings to be sold like commodities.
00:41:04.280We're not going to allow baby stores to exist.
00:41:07.600We're not going to allow unethical scientists to perform human experimentation or to treat human beings like accessories to be purchased by decadent single individuals or homosexuals or heterosexual couples for that matter.
00:41:20.640We're not going to – we haven't gotten quite to the last part in the IVF surrogacy industry discussion yet.
00:41:27.340But clearly, that's where the momentum of the idea has to be going.
00:41:31.760At the very least, we're not going to allow people to deny children their natural mother or their natural father.
