  Speaker 2: Corelle is so near because Showtime is here.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Corelle is the one that you need to know. Now
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: it's Showtime. There is a new taboo out there, and
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: it's all about Israel. So we are going to talk
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: about that today and so much more on this Wednesday,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: September 16th, Carell Show.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Now it's true.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: All right, it is The Carell Show. I am Carell.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Wednesday, September 16th edition. Sorry it's late
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon. However, we, once a month, and I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: don't have the days in front of me, but once
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a month we are going to be late because I
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: have a Grammy event, or a Grammy call, once a month. And,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: you know, it... They scheduled it at 10 a.m., so
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: what can I do? I can't. There's nothing I can do. Also,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: my Instagram doesn't appear to be working at the moment,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: so there's that. All right, so we're on YouTube today
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and YouTube only. Welcome. What are you all chatting about?
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: You guys were chatting away without me in the chat
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: room this morning, weren't you? Uh, let's see. What were
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: y'all chatting about? Late show today, one o'clock. Yes. Uh,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: sorry about that. No, it was not a medical appointment. Uh,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: it was a Grammy dance music committee that I'm on
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: once a month. Uh, going to Mark Thompson, then scuttling
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: back to Carell. Good. Okay. Hello, James. Uh, for those
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of you keeping track of my medical adventures yesterday, I
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: went to a fabulous surgeon. My God, she was freaking gorgeous.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I asked her, I go, are the doctors here gorgeous women?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: But they are. And she is so convinced it's a lipoma.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Right here. It's right here. And she believes that I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: can feel it more now because I've lost 11 pounds.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Without Zepound, which she continues me to encourage to do.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Or encourage me to continue to do. Yeah, that.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: So.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Is she 100% sure it's not cancer? It's not painful.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: It hasn't grown. None of my other lymph nodes. But
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I just want to say to you women out there,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: please do your screenings. I've had a mammogram. I've had two.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: They're horrible. I understand why you don't want to get them.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: For those of you men who have never had one,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: imagine your testicles. one at a time, shoved between two
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: panes of glass, as you are forced to raise one
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: hand one way, one hand the other way, lift one
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: leg one way, and point east. It is demeaning. It
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: is uncomfortable. It is medieval. We should have a better
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: test for breast cancer. But it is currently the only
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: thing going. If you are a woman, please get one
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: every year. I know they're horrible, but please get one
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: every year. And do your self-examinations at home where you
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: go here on the side, over here under the arm,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and then in the breast tissue itself. And if you
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: don't want to do it, have your man do it,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: have your woman do it, whoever. But feel all around.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Because more and more with early intervention, breast cancer can
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: be treated and or cured. Angelina Jolie had both of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: hers taken off to prevent it because she has a gene.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: That's pretty radical. Anastasia, at 34, the singer, found out
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: she had breast cancer from a typical physical for the tour.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: They took off one breast and reconstructed it. Three years later,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: she got breast cancer in the other breast. They removed
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: it as well. She is now touring. She is gorgeous.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Her breasts look beautiful, and she's had them both radical mastectomies.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: But she is cancer-free, and she is here with us.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: So breast cancer is real. Men, you can get it too.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: So if you're a guy and you're out there, don't
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: think it's something you don't need to do. If you're
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a guy, feel all around your breast area for lumps,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: under your arms as well. And if you find any,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: go see a surgeon. They'll order a mammogram. They'll order
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: an ultrasound, which I had both. two years ago. And
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: it's better to get it checked out because it could
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: be removed. If it is cancer, you could do chemo
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: or Keytruda. There's a new vaccine. And so there is help.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: So please, it's scary. I was scared yesterday. Now she's
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: feeling all around and then she didn't say anything. She said,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I'll go get the surgeon. She feels all my lymph nodes,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: feels my lump. And then she goes, okay, I'll go
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: get the surgeon and we'll take it from there. I'm like, oh,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: she found something. But she didn't. So go. It might
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: be frightening, but do it. Man and woman. Please. Go.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: If you're not visiting reallycarell.com daily, you're missing out. Get
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: the podcast videos and the blog, including recipes at reallycarell.com.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: That's really K-A-R-E-L dot com.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Showtime is here.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: No time to fear.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Carell is so near because Showtime is here.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: So on with the show.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Let's give it a go.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Carell is the one that you need to know. All right,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: we are back. So glad you are here with us
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: on The Carell Show on this Wednesday, September 16th. Tomorrow
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: we have, yeah, Ed Sheeran. No, tomorrow, I wish. Tomorrow,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: he's the topic du jour. Tomorrow we have Scott Jacobson
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: from Ukraine, where we will talk about what's going on
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: in Ukraine. And we will also talk about this gay week.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I address tomorrow on the show,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: The fact that I've been asked a few times why
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I do one show a week for gay issues. The
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: main reason? Because KGO and KFI wouldn't let me. And
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: now it's my show. I am gay. And I think
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of these issues are universal. And Scott is
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: a great guest. And I'd be doing the interview anyway
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: because it's actually his interview for his publication, The Good
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Man Project. That's why we do it. So I just
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: tape it for my show as an extra bonus. All right.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: So yesterday we touched on the Macklemore, Ed Harris, Ed
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Sheeran controversy. Where's my dog? Amber, where are you? Okay,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: there you are. On the controversy. It has grown exponentially
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: since yesterday. So let me catch you all up. There's
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a rapper named Macklemore. I'm not going to explain to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you who he is. Just know he's famous, he's cute,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and he's pro-LGBTQ, and he's He believes it is real.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: He doesn't believe. He acknowledges, because it's time to stop
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: all this, and this whole show is going to be
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: about the truth, okay? He acknowledges that there is a
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: genocide going on in Gaza, where 20 people today, including
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: five children, this morning, today, 20 people were killed in Gaza,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: including five children, by Israel, who is continuing their genocide.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: That's a fact. It's not anti-Semitic. It's not anti-Jewish. It's
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: a fact. Okay. So Macklemore came out. He said, can
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I find the Macklemore? I'd like for you to hear
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: what he said at the concert, because I just don't
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: think you're going to be Oh, I'm not going to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: deal with it now. But he came out, he said,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: free Palestine. He had a Palestinian flag. And he said
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: that people should be equal across the world. So also
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: free Sudan, free Libya, free the Congo. And he said
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: during the speech, to all of my Jewish friends out there,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: just know that I love and support you. And my
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: opinion of Israel is, is in no way a reflection
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: of my affection and love for you or the Jewish community. Now,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know how more generic you could be in
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the condemnation of genocide. You're saying, look, if you're Jewish,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I love you. I support you. This is not about you.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: This is about what the state of Israel is doing.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: And Palestinians should be free and have their own state.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: So he said that at two Ed Sheeran concerts because
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: he was opening for Ed Sheeran. There were nine more
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: concerts to do with him as the opening act, and
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: then he was going to be switched out for Phineas
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: from Billie Eilish and Phineas, her brother, and other acts. Also,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: his backup band is an Irish band. It's called like
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Biongo or Biogo or something like that. So, Kraft, who
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: is in, Robert Kraft, yeah, Robert Kraft, I believe is
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: his name, who is in the Epstein Files, is a
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: billionaire and owns one of the stadiums that they were
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: going to here in the U.S. And he decided that
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: because of Macklemore's genocide stance that, since Kraft is a
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Zionist and friends with Netanyahu, he decided he can't come.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: So he called Messina Touring, that's the name of the
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: promotion company that is promoting Ed's tour, and said, we
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: will cancel the dates if Macklemore is the opening act.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Then Kraft, the billionaire, called his other billionaire friends that
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: own stadiums and got them to say the same thing.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: So Messina Touring was looking at seven dates of 90,000
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: tickets each date. So we're talking about 600 plus thousand
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: tickets sold. Not happening. So Messina Touring called Ed Sheeran
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: and said, you got to drop him from the tour.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: You know, we're dropping him from the tour. Because ultimately,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Ed Sheeran is right. The checks come from the promoter.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Ed Sheeran, when he decides to do a tour, hires
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a promotion company, a promoter, and they take over the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: nuts and bolts of the tour, the ticket sales, the merchandising,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the renting of the trucks, all of that. It's a
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: touring company. Taylor Swift owns her own, by the way.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Smart girl. And so then Macklemore came out and said,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I've been dropped. Pink had also condemned Macklemore. Boy George
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: condemned Macklemore. Deborah Messing condemned Macklemore. Many other Jewish celebrities did.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: And so they canceled Macklemore. And Ed Sheeran said, I'm sorry,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: but this is the way it has to be. This
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: is the way, as The Mandalorian says. So, Right after
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: that happened, there was huge backlash against Ed Sheeran. Not
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Messina Turing, because no one knows who they are. It's
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Ed Sheeran's name on the marquee. So there was huge
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: backlash against Ed Sheeran. People were calling him a coward.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: said that ultimately, you know, you've got $ 500 million, that's
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: fuck you money, and yet you didn't tell them to
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: go get fucked. People like you, with that money, that's
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: why you want that money. You want fuck you money.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: You want to be able to say, go get fucked.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: He didn't. So there's backlash against him. Well, yesterday, every
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: single remaining opening act from Phineas on down the line,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: there was four total, cancelled. and said we will no
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: longer perform as Ed Sheeran's opening act. Then his band,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: which is Irish, and the band members are members of
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Ireland for a Free Palestine, his band said that they
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: quit too. So it's basically Ed Sheeran and a guitar.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: That's all that's left. Now, A lot of people have
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: been talking about this. AOC was asked about it, and
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: she said it is very dangerous when stadium owners can
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: come together to silence people they don't like in America.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: It's not Russia. It's not China. It's America. By the way,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Kanye West has songs praising Nazis. Actual songs praising Nazis.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: And Kanye West has performed at these venues. Okay? So
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Kanye West, who has songs praising Nazis, has performed at
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: these very venues, which didn't want Macklemore. So it begs
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the question now. And Julian Michaels, Julian Michaels walked off
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: of an interview because they started to talk about this.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Many celebrities have shut down interviews if they start talking
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: about Israel and genocide. Certainly Mark Ruffalo hasn't. And I
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: started watching it going, why in America can you criticize America?
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I sit here every day and make criticisms of this country.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: But if you criticize Israel, you suffer repercussions. You lose
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: your job, you get taken off a tour, your show
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: gets canceled, you get labeled anti-Semitic. Why is Israel the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: most protected state in the world when it comes to
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: people talking about it? When did that happen? You know,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing Jewish people online, young, who have now done
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: their research about how Israel was formed. They were under
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the impression there was like a big empty spot of land.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: And after World War II, they gave it to the
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Jews because they had been so abused. Believe it or not,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: many younger Jews did not realize that that area was
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: already occupied by the Palestinians. Already. And there were some
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Jews there as well. But predominantly... that area was occupied
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: by the Palestinians and would be what we would know
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: today as Palestine. And other nations stepped in, drew borders,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and in 1947 or 8, I'll have to look it
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: up to be sure, said, nope, this is now Israel.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Sort of like America today, Wednesday, September 16th, in 1620
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: is when the Mayflower took off to come to America,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: or what would be America today is when the Mayflower
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: set sail. Well, they got here and they acted like
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: the country wasn't inhabited, like it was just a big
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: empty country for them to fill up. It was already full.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: It was already inhabited. So they got rid of the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: inhabitants so they could inhabit it. Our ancestors. our murderous, treacherous, slave-owning,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: indigenous people-slaughtering ancestors. The same happened for the State of Israel.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: It was not a peaceful creation. The Palestinians did not
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: welcome their land being taken with open arms. And ever
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: since the country was established, It has been at war. Why?
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Because they took over a place where somebody already lived. Now,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: am I anti-Semitic for telling you the history of the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: region as it happened? That is how Israel was created.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: It was created by co-opting Palestinian land and telling Palestinians
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: they had to get out. So right from the get-go,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: it was a country prone to unrest. Because what was
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: left was the West Bank and Gaza. And they didn't
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: allow those to be Palestinian states. They didn't give them
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: authority or autonomy. They didn't let them vote on their futures.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: They didn't let them vote on their leaders. They created
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: an apartheid system. Now that's what they did. And that's
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: what it exists today. A system of apartheid where Israelis
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: control the region, they vote on the leaders, they dictate
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the laws, and Palestinians have to follow whether they like
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: it or whether they don't. And you wonder why there's war.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: So that's how that started. Okay? And You have to
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: take it from there. We have spent $ 38 billion on
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: war in Iran, and we just gave Israel $ 2 billion more. Now,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: why can't I say I don't want to give Israel
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: money and not be anti-Semitic? I can say I don't
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: want to give Iran money. I can say I don't
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: want to give Canada money or Australia money. I can
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: say any of those things and not be called anything.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: But if I say the United States should end its
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: support for Israel... Suddenly I'm anti-Semitic? Why? Why can't we
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: have an honest conversation about the state of Israel? Why?
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, if we love it so much and Donald
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Trump is so into co-opting things, make it the 51st state.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: If we really are that much into Israel, make it
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the 51st state. Otherwise, it is my right as an
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: American citizen to criticize, and it is my duty as
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: an informed civil member of society to point out when
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: things are unjust and when things are bad. Ed Sheeran,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: who I love, I love his music, I love him,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: but he's a coward. He is a coward. And he
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: knows that the third rail right now is Israel. When
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I say that we would not be at war in
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Iran if it were not for Israel, am I being anti-Semitic?
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: That is a fact. We would not be in Iran
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: today if it weren't for Israel. Israel wanted us to
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: attack Iran. It wanted us to take care of its
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Middle Eastern problem. It always has. And all the other
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: presidents said no. Donald Trump said yes. That's a fact.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: So is it anti-Semitic to point that fact out? Very
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: interested in your comments on this down below the video
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: or in the chat room at youtube.com forward slash really corral.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a way for me to take calls.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try to figure that out over the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: weekend because I'd like to hear what you have to
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: say about this. Why is it anti-Semitic to criticize the
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: state of Israel? And yet it's not un-American to criticize America.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: In fact, our founders made sure that we could criticize America.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: So our documents protect us criticizing our own country, but
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: we can't criticize that country? What?
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: You have to be proud with hatred.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Hey everyone, it's Carell. You know, Pride Month was rough
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: this year. We had a lot of hate heaped upon
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: us from Trump, from MAGA, and from other governments around
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: the world. And if you are a trans person, you
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: are really going through a particular type of hell right now.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: That's why when I was thinking of my next single
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: in June, I sat down and I wrote, you have
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: to be proud. You have to be proud with anger
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: so loud. Streaming everywhere. Keep fighting. Keep singing. Keep dancing.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: We're going to win.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: So.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: First of all, I have no problem being labeled racist
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: or anti-Semitic. People call me that all the time. Because
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: when you tend to tell the truth, you get labeled names. Okay?
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: You just do. By the way, the camera right in
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: front of me right now, the new camera arrived. Brenda Becker,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: thank you just so much. Well, the new camera didn't arrive.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: The first camera never arrived. I had to go buy
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: another one after they refunded the first one. But thank you,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Brenda Becker. It's incredible. It's so beautiful, and the color
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: is so beautiful, and the camera is so beautiful, and
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be able to use it for music
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: videos and for movies. Right now, the image you see
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: right now is through the new camera. Isn't it gorgeous?
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: The color profile, all of it. It's just so beautiful.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I don't want to cry, but
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I love cameras, and it's a beautiful camera. Anyway, I
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: don't mind being called anti-Semitic because I'm not, okay? I
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: don't care. First of all, when it comes to religion,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I think all religions are crazy. Jews are less crazy
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: because they don't knock on your door and ask you
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: to be Jewish, because they don't stand on street corners
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: and say, come be Jewish, and because modern-day Jews are
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: very accepting to LGBTQ people. So I have no problem
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: with the Jewish faith. Barbra Streisand is my favorite singer
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: person on the planet. And I know the Israeli national
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: anthem because she sang it and I learned it in Yiddish,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: by the way. Anyway. Now, Hasidic Jews, they're crazy. They're
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: as crazy as Muslims that wear all that stupid garb.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Muslim women, to me, and see, this is going to
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: sound racist, but to me, they're stupid. You let an
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: ancient book written by men tell you how to dress.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: You know, you got to cover your hair. You got
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: to cover your face. That's just stupid. And the same
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: with Hasidic Jews. You're going to wear clothing from the
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: 1800s because you think in some way that's how God
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: would want you to dress. With the weird little curls
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: down the side and the black outfits and the little
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: skirt thing. And to me, that's ridiculous.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: But.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Any religious garb is ridiculous to me. The Catholics with
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: all their ornate dresses and pleading poverty and hating gays
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: and yet wearing Prada dresses, basically. So all of it's
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: crazy to me. Okay, all of it. Every religion. I
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: don't mind the Buddhist and how they dress. A lovely
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: orange robe. I have no problem with that. But if
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: you're forced to dress a certain way because of your religion,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: that's just stupid. God brought you into the world naked.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: If God wanted you to dress with a hijab, when
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: you come out of the womb, you'd have one. So anyway,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: and that is deemed a racist opinion or anti-religious opinion,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: but I don't care. I really don't. If you're right
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: to do it and I support your right, if you're
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Muslim and you're a woman and you want to wear
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: a hijab and you want, you know, then do it.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: That's your right. I'm not going to discriminate against you.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I am not going to make fun of you. I'm
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: just going to silently think you're crazy. The same with
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Catholics and the way the priests dress and that little
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: white collar is supposed to mean something. Please, you just
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: have to take it off before you go down on
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the 12-year-old. You know, so whatever.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: But we have this interesting thing happening in America right
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: now where our politicians are defending Israel to the detriment
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: of the United States. What is that about? Israel does
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: not give us a ton of money. We give them
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: a ton of money, more than we should. Israel doesn't
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: really give us natural resources. Yes, they give us olives
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: and dates and a few other things. But not like
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: plutonium or something. They are a strategic military partner in
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the region, but we have other military partners in the region.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why American politicians are willing to support
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: a nation at the detriment of their own. It is
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: very clear young people in America, young voters, are becoming anti-Israel.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Not anti-Semitic. There is a huge difference. Okay? Young voters
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: and some old voters are saying enough with the Israel support. Enough.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: You know, we have other problems. We have other allies.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Think about this. We have alienated two of our biggest allies,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Canada and Mexico. For no reason. There's no reason that
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Trump has alienated them. And yet we refuse to alienate Israel,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: who has led us into a war which has gas
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: prices just astronomically spiking, food prices spiking, and the world
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: almost at war as Iran is bombing their neighbors. And
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: now we find out the damage and casualties against our
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: country are are far greater than what Hegsbeth is reporting,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: so much so that a Republican senator today called for
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: his impeachment as Secretary of Defense because of the lies
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: of the Iran war, which we would not be in
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: if it were not for Israel. A nuke in Iran
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: is not a danger to the United States. It's a
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: danger to Israel. So, Why has it suddenly become anti-Semitic
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: to criticize Bibi Netanyahu and his government's actions? And why,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: when they are committing an obvious genocide, obvious to everybody
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: on the planet, why can't we call it such? It
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: is a genocide. They are killing people, imprisoning people, cutting
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: off resources to people, making people move to certain areas.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: You all have to move to the south now. You
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: all have to. They are doing exactly what the Germans
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: did to them without the ovens. They're using bombs instead
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: of ovens. And we're not supposed to criticize that. This morning,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: five Gazan children were murdered by Israeli bombs. And 15
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: adults were murdered. There's no reason to have dropped those bombs.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Gaza doesn't exist. It's gone. It's rubble. And yet, they're
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: still dropping bombs. that we sold them? Our bombs? And
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: we're supposed to not criticize that. We're supposed to say,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: it's okay. We're supposed to support it. Boy George and
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Deborah Messing want me to support the killing of five
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: children this morning because they were attacked two years ago?
• 30:05

  Speaker 1: touching to me. I cried the first time. Well, I
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: cry all the time, but I cried the first time
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I saw it. We all have somebody, whether it's someone
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: that's passed from AIDS or some other thing, we all
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: have people that we danced with, and that's why we dance.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Stream I Dance Because on all services.

• 31:24
  Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, September 16th. Tomorrow, Thursday, This Gay Week
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: with Scott Jacobson. And then I get my three days.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Y'all think I take three days off. I work on
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: all three of those days, except Saturday. But I work, okay?
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: It's not like I do stuff for the show. I
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: do other projects. I record. I have a record coming.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Jeannie Tracy just Talked to me yesterday. I did a
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: new song. I'm still fabulous. Giuseppe D., a famous DJ,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: is remixing it right now. Yes, I use PayPal credit
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: to pay for him. And Jeannie Tracy is going to
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: sing for me. And yes, I'm going to use PayPal
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: credit to pay for her too. At least no finance
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: charges for 12 months. This morning in the UK, they
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: are very alarmed that inflation is up 3.1%. Gas prices.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: You think gas prices are huge here? Gas in the
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: UK right now is $ 11 to $ 15 a gallon. Because remember,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: they sell it by the liter. And it's like $ 4
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: a liter, right? I mean, I could ask Alexa, or
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: we could type in here, what are current gas prices
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: in London? What are current gas prices in the UK?
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Let's see. The average price of unleaded petrol in the
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: UK is 170p per liter, 192p per liter. Can we
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: please give that per gallon in dollars? All right. Current
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: gasoline prices in the UK are approximately $ 2. 27 per liter
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: or $ 8. 60 per gallon. $ 8. You think we got it
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: bad here?
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Current gas prices in the UK, $ 8 per gallon. Current
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: diesel prices in the UK, $ 13 per gallon. $ 8 per gallon,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: 15-gallon tank. That's $ 120 for a fill-up or about 100 pounds.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: They're hurting. They're hurting bigly. And their inflation has gone
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: up 3.1%, so much so that they're going to raise
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: interest rates. So they try to slow inflation down. All
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: of them have cited the Iran war as the reason
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: for their inflation. They blame Donald Trump and the Iran war.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: But they also blame the amount of money they're spending
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: on Israel and Ukraine, by the way. So the world's economy...
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: is in a very dangerous place right now. And one
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: of the reasons is the war in Iran, which again,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: we are fighting because of Israel. So Israel is poised
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: to bring down the world's economy. How is this little
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: country doing all of that? How? Why do we put
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: up with it? I don't know how Israel got most
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: favored nation status. I don't. Maybe it's the amount of
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Jews that came over here and got into government, got
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: into business, and it's money. This is what it's about.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: AIPAC is real. It's well-funded, and it contributes to a
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: ton of politicians, and they want that money. So, They
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: support Israel no matter what Israel does because AIPAC writes
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: them a check. It's that simple. The support of Israel
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: in our government is only because of the amount of
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: money Israel spends to buy our government. Now, you may
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: not like me saying that and you may say it's anti-Semitic.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: It's the truth. I believe it was Ted Cruz that
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: said he wanted to go to the Senate to protect Israel.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: That was his stated goal. Now, What can we do
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: about that? Well, we could take all Jewish money out
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: of politics by taking all corporate money out of politics
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: and all PAC money out of politics. Have all campaigns
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: be publicly funded. Period. End of story. No PAC money.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: No corporate money. If we did that, you would see
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: the support for Israel dwindle because the checks wouldn't be
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: coming in. It is all about money. We don't care
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: about Israel one way or the other. The only reason
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: our politicians care, they're paid to.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: If you're not visiting ReallyKarel.com daily, you're missing out. Get
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: the podcast videos and the blog, including recipes at ReallyKarel.com.

  Speaker 1: That's ReallyKarel.com. You have to be.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Proud with hatred.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Hey everyone, it's Corel, and I want to invite you
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: to stream my new single, You Have to Be Proud,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: on Swishcraft Music. You Have to Be Proud, by Corel.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Go stream it, go march to it, go wave your
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: rainbow flags and piss off MAGA to it. Do whatever
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: you need to do to remind yourself and others, we
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: are stronger than ever, and they can't have our pride.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: The other reason that.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: We love Israel so much is war is good for business.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: War gives defense. Look at the order they just placed
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: on weapons in Israel from the United States, $ 2. 4 billion.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: We just agreed to sell them $ 2. 4 billion in weapons.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: That means Donald Trump and the Bushes, who are heavily
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: invested in the Carlyle group, and other rich people who
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: are heavily invested in arms, are going to make a
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: shit ton of money off of the war. It's all
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: about money. That's why we care about Israel. It's not
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: about being Semitic or anti-Semitic. It's not about being pro-Jew
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: or anti-Jew. It's about money. That's what it's about. You know,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Israel has less than 10 million people. The population of
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles County is twice, twice the country of Israel.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: We could literally give the Israelis Montana. where there is
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: one person per square mile. I'm not making that up.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: The population of Montana is so sparse that it averages
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: out to one person per square mile of Montana. We
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: could give them the Dakotas. We could give them, well,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: we only use, 94% of Americans live on 2% of
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: our land. 98% of our land is not used. There
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: is so much of America we could give to the Jews.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Just move Israel here. Let them all move to Montana. Oh, Karel,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: they'd have to leave their homeland. It was the Palestinian
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: homeland first. There's many places in the world. There's African
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: nations that don't have any government working at all. We
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: could literally take over that country. Somalia. Somalia. Somalia has
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: a coastline. It has no working government. It has a
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: climate much like Israel. We could relocate Israel to Somalia,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: and guess what? It'd probably be fine. Oh, Karel, that's
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: just ridiculous.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: So we can create a country in the 1940s and
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: move six million Jews there, but we can't recreate a
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: country in 2026 and move them there? Because it's their, quote,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: holy land? You know, my late husband Andrew used to say,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: if part of the Israeli war is about religion, bomb
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: all the sites. Get rid of the Temple on the Mound.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Get rid of all of it. Just bomb it all.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Get rid of all of it. All the religious sites.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Level them. Then they have nothing to fight over. If
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: you're going to fight over the Temple on the Mound,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: if you're going to fight over the Wailing Wall, if
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: you're going to fight, blow them all up. They're just buildings.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: They're not divine. They're not blessed by God, because there
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: is no God. They're not heavenly. They're just real estate.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Is that anti-Semitic? No. It's common sense. The problem with
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: labeling people anti-Semites, racist, it's easy, because then you don't
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: have to listen to what they're saying anymore. And you
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: don't have to figure out if there's any truth to it.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: You know, every bigot has a grain of truth in
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: their bigotry. Every bigot. Every racist has a grain of
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: truth in their racism. Now, that doesn't justify their racism
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't justify their bigotry. But if you break
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: down their arguments, there's some truth to what they're saying. Oftentimes,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: most of what they're saying is bullshit, but oftentimes there's
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: one or two things that they're upset with that's actually real.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: White people have every right to be afraid that they're
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: going to be the minority in America because they are.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: That's the truth. So when you hear these white guys saying,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: we want to keep America white, they know they're losing
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: the battle, that we are a minority-majority nation. Already 14
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: states are minority-majority, including California. So they're losing that battle,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: and they know it. And that's where their racism comes from.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: They think they need to preserve their whiteness. I think
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: the best thing in the world would be if white
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: people lost power everywhere. The best thing in the world
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: would be if black lesbians ran the world. And Chinese lesbians.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: And Asian lesbians. And go on down the line. African lesbians.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: If lesbian of color ran the world, it would be
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: such a great place. It would be such a great place.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: It really would. White men have screwed up the entire world.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Like all of it. There's not a place that white
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: men haven't screwed up. Even black nations, even Asian nations.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: We have exerted our influence and screwed it all up.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: But that ain't going to happen. So again, in the
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: United States... When did it become anti-Semitic to simply criticize
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: the state of Israel? They are two separate things. And
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: we need to get that out there. We need to
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: get the message out that you can be against what
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Israel is doing in Gaza. You can be against genocide
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: and not be anti-Semitic. We have to get that message
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: out there. that Jews, and I know many Jews that
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: are against what Netanyahu is doing. They are like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Are they anti-Semitic? I mean, you can be a Jew
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: and be anti-Semitic. You can be a black and be racist.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: You can be a gay and be a homophobe. They're
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: not mutually exclusive. So are Jews that do not agree
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: with what's going on in Gaza anti-Semitic? Are they anti-Semites,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: even if they're Jewish? I know many that are. There's
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: so much generalization nowadays, throwing everybody into a category. And
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: once you throw them in that category, you immediately negate
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: anything they have to say. Now look, I don't think
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: we should give racist voice. MAGA shouldn't have a voice.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: They're just bigoted white people. They shouldn't have a voice.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: We shouldn't give everyone a voice. We shouldn't. They don't
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: deserve it and all they are is noise. They're not productive.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: You know, it's not good. But you shouldn't silence people
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: just because they're labeled something. Macklemore has every right in
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: the United States to stand on stage and say free Palestine.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: He has every right to do it. And you'll say that, well, then, yes,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: the stadium owners have every right to tell him he
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: can't do it there. They do. They do. Ultimately, Kraft
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: owns the stadium. He has the right to say who
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: performs there and who doesn't. If I owned a stadium,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: no MAGA country lover star would perform. What's her name
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: from American Idol, which is moving to Georgia from California?
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: It's a big deal. American Idol is moving their production
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: from California to Georgia. Um, but what's her name? Carrie Underwood.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Carrie Underwood would never be hired by any venue that
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: I owned. Period. End of story. I know I could
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: make money and I would say, well, I can make money.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Want to just make money off of her? No, she's MAGA.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: I don't like her and I don't like country for
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: the most part. So no, if I owned a venue,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Carrie Underwood would never be booked there. Uh, what Brandy
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Carlisle would be because she's country, a lesbian and liberal.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: I have that right as a stadium owner. So Kraft
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: had the right. He was wrong for what he did,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: but he had the right to do it. And I
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: support his right to do it. He's dead ass wrong.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: And Ed Sheeran should have said, fuck you. But he
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: has the right to do it. Just like he had
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: the right to call his other billionaire friends and get
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: them to do the same thing. He has that right.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: This is America. And we have set it up to
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: where corporate overlords can run our lives because they have
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: the same rights and freedoms that we do. You have
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: the right to not go see Ed Sheeran or you
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: have the right to go see him. You have the
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: right to go see Kanye West who sings songs about
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Nazis if you want to. I can't imagine why you would,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: but you have the right. We have to get to
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: a point where we all agree on certain truths, where
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: we hold these truths to be self-evident. It should be
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: a universal truth that genocide is wrong and should be
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: condemned no matter who is committing it. That should be
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: a universal truth. Any state, country, or group of people
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: that is trying to wipe out another group of people
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: because of who they are, who they worship, the color
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: of their skin, in the case of the genocide that
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: happened in Rwanda, the size of their noses, not making
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: that up. We should be able to condemn that and say,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: that's wrong. I don't care who's committing the act, it's wrong.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: But we can't. If you come forward today and say
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: Israel is committing genocide and genocide is wrong, you are
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: immediately labeled an anti-Semite. Well, that's bullshit. That's bullshit. You know,
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: I've heard the saying, oh, they're acting their race. I've
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: heard that saying before. And it makes me cringe when
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: I hear it because it's usually used on black people. Oh,
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: they act in their race. And I know many articulate, talented,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: wonderful people of all colors, including black. And so I'm
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: not sure what acting their race means. Because I think
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: what they're trying to say is that black people are
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: ignorant and don't know how to speak and don't know
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: how to act in public. And I hate when I
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: hear that. However, there are things that every culture does, stereotypes,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: that are true. I'm a gay man with a lisp.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, hello. I am the stereotype.
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: Okay? Okay?
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: And does it drive me crazy when a black person
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: says ax? It does. I'm an English major. The word
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: is ask, A-S-K. Is it too much to ask that
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: you say ask instead of ax? And people are, oh,
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: it's cultural. Well, I don't care that it's cultural. It's wrong.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: You know, I get offended by it from a linguistic
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: and grammatical form. They're not unintelligent. They can say the word.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: They've learned English like everybody else. They live in America.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: They can say ask. Even Whitney Houston said ax, A-X-S, ax.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Drove me crazy. I've corrected. I corrected Whitney. I was
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: interviewing Whitney and she said, well, they ask. And I said,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: you mean ask? She didn't like it, but I did it. Now,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: is that racist for me to say that some stereotypes
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: about a culture are true? Maybe, but what can you do?
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: There are some stereotypes about gay people that are true,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: that for the most part, Prevail. Not every gay person.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Not every single one. But a majority. A majority of
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: gay men are catty. I don't care what anybody says.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: A majority of gay men are catty bitches. Even if
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: they're big macho men, they're catty bitches. A majority. So
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: much so that RuPaul has made multiples of millions off
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: of exploiting catty bitches. He has no problem with the stereotypes.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot of conversations we could have about
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: what is racism, what is xenophobia, what is being an anti-Semite.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Saying that Jews don't deserve to live or that Jews
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: are in some way less than, that they're not equal
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: to you, saying that Jews should have to live in
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: areas like the redlining, my friend Jason Stewart has a
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: great movie out called Redlining. And it's about the fact
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: that back in the 50s, Realtors had maps with red
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: lines drawn on them, and black people could only own
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: property in those areas. Jews could only own property in
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: those areas. There was restricted communities, which prevented generational wealth,
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: by the way. Now, was that wrong? Yes, a thousand
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: times wrong. Redlining was wrong. And that was anti-Semitism and racism. Redlining. clear-cut.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: No benefit to it. White people will say, yes, but
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: it kept out the undesirables. And I would say that
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of white people are undesirable. But, you know,
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: so that, yes, that's anti-Semitism. That's racism. Redlining. Absolutely. Programs
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: that exclude people because of race, gender, etc. That's anti-Semitic.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: That's racism. That's homophobia. Saying that Israel's committing genocide and
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: should stop, or that Palestine should be free, I still
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: haven't heard a good argument as to why that's anti-Semitism.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Saying I don't want to support Israel in its war,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: why is that anti-Semitism? Patriot! Now remember, the word is F-U-N-K, funk, honey.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Do you wanna funk?
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: Do you wanna funk, baby? Do you, do you, do you?
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: Do you, do you, do you?
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Do you, do you, do you? Hey, it's Carell. Go
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: stream Do You Wanna Funk? My tribute to Sylvester. Everywhere
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: you get your music. Carell, do you wanna funk? Yaya
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: Kelly in the chat room brings up something that is
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: going on and it's horrible. Mortgage theft in Harlem and Brooklyn.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Black family homes are being stolen by property investors. They are.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: They are. Absolutely they are. And it's horrible. It's horrible.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: And someone should do something about it. Because it's horrible.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: They're stealing their generational wealth. It's terrible. And someone said, hey, well,
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: Irish people can't say three. They say tree. If English
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: is your second language, well, then, yeah, you're going to
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: say words differently. I'm talking about black people that were
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: born in the United States, went to our schools. Whitney
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Houston was born in Newark. Okay? She went to American schools.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: There is no reason for her to say axe. Okay? None.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: It's spelled A-S-K. Now, if you're from a different country
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: and you're trying to pronounce American words, which is very
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: hard because English is a really stupid language, if you
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: think I'm wrong, explain there and there. There, there, and there.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: There are three there's. Our language is very confusing for
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: other people to learn because, you know, night and night, N-I-G-H-T, darkness. K-N-I-G-H-T, soldier.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: You know? So, yeah, no, our language is dumb. But
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: that being said, if you are born here and go
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: to our schools and you still mispronounce words, it bothers me.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: That's just a me thing, okay? I'm not judging you
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: by it. I'm not judging your intelligence by it. I'm
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: not discriminating against you because of it. I would not
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: not hire you just because you said ask or ax.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't not have you sing on my record because
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: you say acts. There's a difference between being bothered by
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: something and discrimination. Again, there's a whole conversation we could have.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: There's a difference between just being bothered by something and
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: discriminating against someone. I hate rap music. Hate it. Cannot
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: stand it. And I hate that rappers get to use
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: the N-word in their songs, and it's okay, but if
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: a white person says the N-word, they're evil. That fucking
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: bothers me. Okay? But I understand it. Gays call each
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: other names, fags, sister this, whatever, but if a straight
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: person calls us that, it's different. So I get it.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: But all of those are conversations to be had about
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: the workings. Redlining?
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: No.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Stealing mortgages from black families?
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: No.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: And the biggest disgrace of all, how we treat indigenous people.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: The land we gave them. We spend more money on
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Israel than we do Native Americans. Figure that out. We
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: care more for how the people in Jerusalem or Tel
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: Aviv are living than the people here on the reservations.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: We dump more assets into war than we do the
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: people who owned this country in the first place. Okay?
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: We stole their land. We stole their homes. We stole
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: part of their culture and to this day have not
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: made good on our promises. The same with the black community.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: We stole their literal lives from other countries. Stole them.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Stole them from other countries. Brought them here. Treated them
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: like shit. And then once they got rights, continued to
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: treat them like shit simply because we can. Because we
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: still treat them like shit as a whole. We've got
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: a lot to do inside our own country. Fuck anti-Semitism.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: We've got huge racism, huge homophobia, huge transphobia right here.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: We don't need to look to Israel for anti-Semitism. We've
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: got enough phobias right here. But you will suffer more
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: if you speak out against Israel than if you speak
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: out against, I don't know, Native Americans. You'll suffer more
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: if you speak out against Israel than if you speak
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: out against blacks. Preachers stand up every day and demean
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: gay people and say we should be killed. Charlie Kirk
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: said we should die. He's venerated as a hero. Say
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: that about an Israeli. See what happens then. We protect
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: Jews from from antisemitism more than we protect trans people
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: from transphobia, more than we protect LGBTQ people from homophobia,
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: more than we protect blacks from racism, and more than
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: we protect indigenous people from everything. Figure that out. Why? Money.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: That's why. Because the powers that be get more money
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: from the Israeli government than they do from the black
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: lobby groups or the gay lobby groups or the trans
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: lobby groups or the Native American lobby groups. They get
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: more money from Israel than they do from these people.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: So they know where their bread is buttered, so they
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: take care of their donors. And their donors... are Jews.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: And that's why. That's why there is this whole, you're anti-Semitic,
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: you're anti-Semitic. No, I'm not. I just don't like a
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: country that commits genocide, including our own. The United States
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: has waged many a genocide.
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: Many.
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: Many.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: Wiped out people with impunity. And right now in Iran,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: we're trying to wipe out the Iranians. He's firing on
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: civilian targets, civilian infrastructure. Why? Because they're Iranian. That's the
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: only reason. They're Iranian. I don't hate Iranians. I don't
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: hate them. I have no reason to hate Iranians. Why
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: would I hate them? I hate the Saudis more. They're
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: the ones that attacked us on 9-11. 16 of the
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: 18 attackers, they're the ones who fund the Wahhabist form
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: of Islam. They're the ones who teach it in their
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: madrasas inside of Saudi Arabia. I am not fond of
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: the Saudi government and Saudi men who are sexist and
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: refuse to let their wives drive or wrap them up
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: in burqas. I have nothing but contempt for them. I'm
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: less apt to like a Saudi than I am an Iranian.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: Just the truth. And the same goes for Israel. I
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: have no problem with anyone in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, or
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: any other Israeli city. I love the Jews. I'd love
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: to go to Gay Pride in Tel Aviv. I have
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: no problem with the Jewish people.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: I have a.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: Problem with your country. Is that anti-Semitic? You tell me.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: I am Carell. Be who you want to be from.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: And hurry, buddy, we'll be back tomorrow with This Day
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: Week with Scott. And then it's the weekend. Wow, this month.
