LOL: Democrats Declare War on Comedy (Ep.69) · V

0:00
Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bongino Report Early Edition. I'm
0:03
Speaker 1: your host, Evita. The University of Michigan declares that the
0:06
Speaker 1: Latin language is racist. Diddy is accused of drugging and
0:10
Speaker 1: raping a 13-year-old girl. Biden honors the late Selena Quintanilla,
0:16
Speaker 1: who I don't believe would be a Biden or a
0:18
Speaker 1: Kamala supporter. Daniel Penny's trial kicked off yesterday, and we're
0:22
Speaker 1: going to discuss why many men are no longer heroic.
0:26
Speaker 1: Tim Walz is guilty of appropriating my culture— The media
0:31
Speaker 1: flips out over AI Trump memes and Kamala denounces comedy.
0:35
Speaker 1: All this on Bongina Report, early edition. We have a
0:50
Speaker 1: lot of serious stories to cover today. We really do.
0:54
Speaker 1: But I want to start out with some campus insanity.
0:58
Speaker 1: Columbia University is offering a course titled A Trans History
1:03
Speaker 1: of the United States. And this class covers the diversity
1:07
Speaker 1: of gendered experiences across the history of the United States
1:11
Speaker 1: and aims to offer an in-depth survey of the history
1:14
Speaker 1: of trans and gender nonconforming experiences across the history of
1:19
Speaker 1: the United States. And crazy as that all sounds, It's
1:23
Speaker 1: actually pretty standard for the university system. There's a lot
1:26
Speaker 1: of classes like that. What I think is interesting is
1:29
Speaker 1: the class instructor, Nikita Shepard, who goes by they-them pronouns,
1:35
Speaker 1: is currently working on a doctoral dissertation that documents a
1:40
Speaker 1: political history of the public bathroom in modern America. And
1:44
Speaker 1: this guy's past work includes research on radical fairies, which
1:50
Speaker 1: is a group That includes drag queens, leather folk, political activists, witches,
1:56
Speaker 1: and magicians who get together to do drag, make love,
2:00
Speaker 1: dance naked, cry, sing, laugh, argue, sew, commit heresies, and
2:06
Speaker 1: cover each other with mud. It's really just absurd. It's lunacy.
2:12
Speaker 1: Drop a comment if you'd take this person's class or
2:15
Speaker 1: if you would pay to have your kids take this
2:18
Speaker 1: person's class.
2:19
Speaker 2: Meanwhile.
2:20
Speaker 1: The University of Michigan has warned that using Latin names
2:24
Speaker 1: for plants may be racist because using their proper names
2:28
Speaker 1: would increase the influence of colonial power structures. And at
2:32
Speaker 1: one point, as I share both of these stories with you,
2:36
Speaker 1: you just need to laugh at these people. Yes, it's
2:39
Speaker 1: a slap in the face to Western civilization. Latin was
2:42
Speaker 1: the medium. of religious, legal, and intellectual discourse and actually
2:47
Speaker 1: unified the Christian West and preserved classical knowledge throughout the
2:52
Speaker 1: middle ages. And the university system itself was a Christian
2:55
Speaker 1: institution aimed at seeking truth. But these people are so
3:01
Speaker 1: absurd that I think some of the best ways to
3:04
Speaker 1: refute them is to shame them through laughter. Laugh at
3:09
Speaker 1: their idiocy. Don't get mad. Don't get defensive. Yes, what
3:14
Speaker 1: university leftists are doing is culturally poisonous. It is offensive.
3:19
Speaker 1: But if you really want to discredit them, make fun
3:21
Speaker 1: of them. And we're going to talk about that a
3:23
Speaker 1: lot today, especially toward the end of the show. But first,
3:26
Speaker 1: we have a quick break. When we have ads, it
3:30
Speaker 1: means that these are patriotic companies. These are people who
3:33
Speaker 1: are willing to work with us despite there being an
3:36
Speaker 1: entire structure aimed against right-wing media, against alternative media. So
3:41
Speaker 1: Anybody that works with us, that sponsors this show, that
3:44
Speaker 1: keeps it free, big shout out to them because they
3:48
Speaker 1: are really going against the advertising grain. I have a
3:52
Speaker 1: Diddy update for you guys. Many of you know Sean P.
3:54
Speaker 1: Diddy Combs has been arrested on numerous charges related to
3:58
Speaker 1: this really salacious Hollywood sex scandal. And he has now
4:02
Speaker 1: been accused of allegedly drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl
4:08
Speaker 1: as too unnamed celebrities joined in at a VMAs after
4:12
Speaker 1: party in New York City two decades ago, according to
4:17
Speaker 1: this new wave of lawsuits. And per court documents, the
4:21
Speaker 1: Jane Doe was looking for a place to rest and
4:24
Speaker 1: entered what she believed to be an empty bedroom so
4:27
Speaker 1: she could lie down for a moment. And then soon afterward, Combs,
4:30
Speaker 1: along with a male and female celebrity, entered the room
4:34
Speaker 1: And Combs aggressively approached the plaintiff with a crazed, a
4:38
Speaker 1: purported crazed look in his eyes, grabbed her and said,
4:42
Speaker 1: you are ready to party. The woman alleges that she
4:45
Speaker 1: was pinned down and raped by Combs. And the male
4:49
Speaker 1: celebrity joined in while the unnamed female celebrity watched. And
4:57
Speaker 1: this plaintiff claims that Combs tried to force her to
5:00
Speaker 1: perform oral sex, but she fought him off, hitting him
5:03
Speaker 1: in the neck. She also claims that she was forced
5:05
Speaker 1: to sign a nondisclosure agreement, preventing her from talking about
5:09
Speaker 1: what she saw at this celebrity-filled party for a really
5:12
Speaker 1: long time. My question is, and I mean, there's going
5:17
Speaker 1: to be a lot of allegations. There already are coming
5:19
Speaker 1: out about Diddy. But who are the other celebrities? Who
5:23
Speaker 1: else partook? We have a lot of evidence. I mean,
5:26
Speaker 1: it's not even evidence. We just know that a lot
5:29
Speaker 1: of people attended these Diddy parties. We've discussed some of them.
5:33
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lopez, of course, was Diddy's ex-girlfriend. There were some
5:37
Speaker 1: others who we know were very close to him. Usher,
5:40
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about him later. But who are
5:44
Speaker 1: these people? Why are they not being named in these lawsuits?
5:47
Speaker 1: Can we know who they are? It's a massive scandal
5:51
Speaker 1: that's unfolding. And largely, everybody's been pretty protected other than
5:55
Speaker 1: Diddy so far. And interestingly, a lot of the people
6:00
Speaker 1: who have connections to Diddy are endorsing Kamala. And that's
6:03
Speaker 1: why I want to draw your attention, like I said,
6:04
Speaker 1: to Diddy's close friend, Usher. Here is Usher discussing the
6:09
Speaker 1: election last month in just a few days before Diddy
6:14
Speaker 1: was arrested. Take a listen.
6:17
Speaker 3: In this emergency that we're in, I think that the
6:19
Speaker 3: Who's artists just come out and speak for Kamala against
6:23
Speaker 3: Donald Trump because he is an existential threat to the country.
6:26
Speaker 2: What do you say to that?
6:27
Speaker 3: You know what?
6:28
Speaker 2: I don't get too deep into politics. I didn't get
6:30
Speaker 2: a chance to watch the debate last night. I obviously
6:32
Speaker 2: have been watching like everybody else. I think voting is
6:36
Speaker 2: an individual choice. I think that.
6:39
Speaker 4: You're right.
6:40
Speaker 2: You have to look at the reality of the country
6:42
Speaker 2: that we are and the country that we want to
6:45
Speaker 2: be and find the candidate that you feel both are
6:50
Speaker 2: who fits the category of where we want to be.
6:53
Speaker 2: And that's it. And that's what you vote based off
6:55
Speaker 2: of who you highlight and how you choose to highlight
7:00
Speaker 2: it on whatever platform you have is your prerogative.
7:02
Speaker 1: Yes. Yeah. So. It's a pretty diplomatic opinion that he gave,
7:12
Speaker 1: not pretty apolitical, no real endorsement. I want you to
7:17
Speaker 1: compare that sentiment to Diddy just this week.
7:21
Speaker 5: I love you more, but I love Kamala Harris even more.
7:30
Speaker 5: I want her to be our next president of the
7:33
Speaker 5: United States.
7:36
Speaker 1: That's a pretty stark contrast. A lot of powerful Democrat-supporting
7:42
Speaker 1: celebrities are connected to Diddy. And it's pretty fascinating that
7:48
Speaker 1: Usher changed his tune so dramatically after Diddy's arrest. Alex
7:53
Speaker 1: Clark suggests that the reason Usher said he didn't want
7:56
Speaker 1: to endorse anyone and is now endorsing Kamala is because
7:59
Speaker 1: Kamala is promising to sweep it all under the rug.
8:02
Speaker 1: If Kamala wins, we will never know the names involved
8:06
Speaker 1: in the Diddy case. And I don't know if that's true.
8:09
Speaker 1: A lot of people are suggesting this. I want to
8:12
Speaker 1: hear from all of you. Drop a comment. Tell me
8:15
Speaker 1: what you think. Is Usher endorsing Kamala out of self-preservation?
8:20
Speaker 1: Is she going to protect the people who are involved
8:22
Speaker 1: in this? those names were not all released. Epstein died
8:33
Speaker 1: during the Trump admin itself. So I'm not convinced that
8:39
Speaker 1: Kamala is going to fully protect them, especially if there
8:42
Speaker 1: are political figures involved in this. And you guys know
8:44
Speaker 1: that the Obamas have had lots of interactions with Diddy,
8:48
Speaker 1: but I would love to hear what all of you think.
8:50
Speaker 1: Is there something to this? Speaking of celebrities, Back in
8:55
Speaker 1: the 90s, Selena Quintanilla, a Mexican-American singer known as now
9:00
Speaker 1: the queen of Tejano music, she was skyrocketing to fame.
9:05
Speaker 1: And it was really, I think, so traumatizing for a
9:11
Speaker 1: lot of people that she tragically died in 2023. She
9:16
Speaker 1: was murdered. She died when she was 23, back in 1995,
9:21
Speaker 1: because she was murdered by the president of her fan club,
9:24
Speaker 1: And she was really just at the height of her fame.
9:28
Speaker 1: She was becoming somebody known not just in the Spanish-speaking
9:32
Speaker 1: music industry, but also English-language music. And she still is
9:37
Speaker 1: really a music icon, an American music icon, especially among
9:42
Speaker 1: Hispanic Americans. And if you're Hispanic, you know exactly who
9:45
Speaker 1: she is. Maybe you watched the biopic where Jennifer Lopez
9:48
Speaker 1: played Selena. Jennifer Lopez, again, funny enough, was... was actually
9:53
Speaker 1: the ex-girlfriend of Diddy and is wrapped up in this
9:56
Speaker 1: celebrity scandal. But Selena is not wrapped up in it
9:59
Speaker 1: at all. and she is still an icon, and we
10:01
Speaker 1: love her. This is a clip of one of Selena's performances,
10:04
Speaker 1: if you guys have never heard her perform. So she
10:24
Speaker 1: was a very, very talented, very talented woman. I suggest
10:27
Speaker 1: you guys all look up her music. Most of her
10:29
Speaker 1: songs are in Spanish, but she does have some English
10:31
Speaker 1: language songs as well. Really amazing woman. Now, last night,
10:35
Speaker 1: Joe Biden awarded Selena with the National Medal of Arts.
10:40
Speaker 1: And interestingly enough, Like many other Hispanic Americans today, I'm
10:44
Speaker 1: not so sure that Selena would be a Biden-Kamala supporter.
10:48
Speaker 1: Here's why.
10:53
Speaker 2: You're a very, very good role model.
10:55
Speaker 3: And one of the problems with.
10:58
Speaker 5: The Hispanic community, especially the teenagers, the girls, is teen pregnancy.
11:04
Speaker 3: What do you have to say?
11:05
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody gets into situations that it's hard.
11:10
Speaker 1: Do we not have the whole video? Okay, that's okay.
11:17
Speaker 1: So in this video, Selena, and you can actually go
11:19
Speaker 1: to my Twitter account, and I have the full thing
11:22
Speaker 1: up on there. But Selena essentially is discussing how she
11:30
Speaker 1: thinks that to prevent teen pregnancy, adults shouldn't be handing
11:33
Speaker 1: out contraceptives. They should just tell their kids don't have
11:36
Speaker 1: sex before marriage. And she also comes out as anti-abortion.
11:40
Speaker 1: She thinks that it's a terrible thing. And it's a
11:43
Speaker 1: really striking clip because you never hear celebrities talk like
11:46
Speaker 1: that anymore, especially A-list female celebrities. They're all coming out
11:51
Speaker 1: and shilling for Kamala because she's going to protect their
11:54
Speaker 1: right to kill unborn children. And Selena was not like
11:57
Speaker 1: that at all. And I think just the takeaway here
12:00
Speaker 1: is that if she were alive today, at the very least,
12:03
Speaker 1: maybe she's not a Trump supporter. I mean, who knows
12:06
Speaker 1: what Selena would be like. But Certainly, given that soundbite,
12:10
Speaker 1: she would not have supported the Biden-Kamala death cult, nor
12:14
Speaker 1: would she have supported Kamala's denunciation of God. We're going
12:18
Speaker 1: to switch gears here because I want to talk about
12:20
Speaker 1: Daniel Penny and this case that kicked off yesterday. Daniel Penny,
12:24
Speaker 1: of course, is a refresher. He choked and murdered an
12:27
Speaker 1: innocent black homeless man in a bout of racial hatred
12:31
Speaker 1: while riding the New York subway. Now, actually, that's what
12:35
Speaker 1: the media wants you to believe.
12:36
Speaker 3: Actually, in reality.
12:37
Speaker 1: Daniel and two other men, including a black man, protected
12:40
Speaker 1: those around them from a homeless black man named Jordan Neely,
12:44
Speaker 1: who was threatening and getting violent with New York City
12:46
Speaker 1: subway passengers. What the media also doesn't like to report
12:50
Speaker 1: on is that Neely suffered from severe untreated mental illness,
12:55
Speaker 1: and he had a history of violence and drug abuse.
12:58
Speaker 1: He had been arrested more than 40 times, most recently
13:01
Speaker 1: for punching a 67-year-old woman in a subway station. Before
13:06
Speaker 1: his death, a judge cut Neely's prison sentence short to
13:08
Speaker 1: enroll him for a minimum of 15 months in a
13:11
Speaker 1: treatment program, which he walked away from in less than
13:14
Speaker 1: two weeks. Now, authorities did not attempt to locate Neely,
13:18
Speaker 1: but there was an open warrant out for his arrest.
13:20
Speaker 1: So a broken system left a violent, troubled man loose
13:25
Speaker 1: in New York City to terrorize regular law-abiding citizens. And
13:30
Speaker 1: Daniel Penny protected innocent Americans from Neely, and now Penny
13:34
Speaker 1: faces 20 years in prison. Most notably, he has not
13:39
Speaker 1: been charged with a hate crime. The prosecution couldn't find
13:43
Speaker 1: any evidence that he was motivated by racism, but that
13:44
Speaker 1: hasn't stopped the media from making this a racial story.
13:48
Speaker 1: And I also think as we reflect on this case,
13:52
Speaker 1: as the trial moves forward, there are a lot of
13:56
Speaker 1: left-wing women who do not understand the consequences of the
14:01
Speaker 1: persecution of Daniel Penny, what it will do culturally, what
14:06
Speaker 1: it has done already, to our society. Two days ago,
14:11
Speaker 1: a left-wing woman posted a now-viral tweet that reads, This
14:16
Speaker 1: man on the subway was repeatedly harassing a woman, being disgusting,
14:21
Speaker 1: invading her space, etc. Tell me the F why me
14:25
Speaker 1: and the other women around tried to intervene and tell
14:28
Speaker 1: him off, but all the young fit guys around just
14:31
Speaker 1: stood silent and looked at the ground. And the answer
14:34
Speaker 1: is this. It's Daniel Penny. Soft on crime, progressive cities
14:42
Speaker 1: leave regular citizens vulnerable and punishes and demonizes men who intervene.
14:50
Speaker 1: We can't have it both ways. Either as women, we
14:55
Speaker 1: award street heroes or we punish them and then we
14:58
Speaker 1: suffer the consequences. The young Bit guys don't step in
15:03
Speaker 1: and protect people because they're afraid they'll be punished for it.
15:07
Speaker 1: Like Daniel Penny. All right, moving on. I need your help.
15:12
Speaker 1: I need to know who I should call to report
15:16
Speaker 1: cultural appropriation violations because Tim Walsh is guilty to the
15:22
Speaker 1: max of cultural appropriation. Here is Tim Walsh on The
15:26
Speaker 1: View yesterday.
15:28
Speaker 5: One thing we have.
15:28
Speaker 1: To do is, we played that before about President Obama
15:31
Speaker 1: talking about all that your shirt had been through.
15:34
Speaker 2: And so we wanted to help you out.
15:36
Speaker 3: We know your flannel.
15:38
Speaker 1: Had been through some stuff.
15:39
Speaker 3: So we've got The View.
15:43
Speaker 5: And a dad in class.
15:46
Speaker 2: That's the single greatest thing I've ever gotten.
15:48
Speaker 1: So that's for you. We're good with that, Mikey. Now,
15:54
Speaker 1: Tim Walz is no lumberjack, and he wears a lumberjack
15:57
Speaker 1: plaid a lot in this faux Midwestern persona that he's
16:02
Speaker 1: trying to put out to the public. And I know
16:05
Speaker 1: that Tim Walz is not a lumberjack because my dad
16:07
Speaker 1: is a lumberjack. My dad competed in lumberjack sports his
16:10
Speaker 1: whole life. I did as well. I was never as
16:12
Speaker 1: good as him. But he actually competed part-time in lumberjack
16:16
Speaker 1: sports to support our family when I was little. He
16:19
Speaker 1: is a world champion speed climber. Speed climbing is when
16:22
Speaker 1: you use spurs and a rope to race up a
16:25
Speaker 1: tree and then free fall to the bottom. Whoever gets
16:28
Speaker 1: to the bottom first wins. Here is my dad winning
16:31
Speaker 1: the 90-foot lumberjack speed climb.
16:34
Speaker 4: You must go!
16:40
Speaker 1: All right! And this is it.
16:41
Speaker 3: The dog is on it.
16:42
Speaker 5: The dog gets that 30-foot mark first.
16:45
Speaker 3: He's at the 6-foot, 45, and 60-foot mark first.
17:02
Speaker 1: Now, he and my dad does other things too, right?
17:05
Speaker 1: He can log roll. I can log roll as well.
17:07
Speaker 1: Does the axe throwing, the chopping, the sawing. He can
17:10
Speaker 1: do it all. He can make little chairs out of
17:13
Speaker 1: a chainsaw, like with a chainsaw. So very impressive. He's
17:17
Speaker 1: a full-fledged Wisconsin-bred lumberjack. And Tim Walz, he's a fake lumberjack.
17:24
Speaker 1: The guy is a CCP lover who puts tampons in
17:27
Speaker 1: the boys' bathroom. He actually is a fraud through and through.
17:30
Speaker 1: He doesn't share any Midwestern values. He's not even Midwestern nice.
17:35
Speaker 1: And it showed on The View yesterday when he actually
17:38
Speaker 1: got angry discussing how Trump dared to go to a
17:42
Speaker 1: McDonald's and serve up some fries. Take a listen.
17:45
Speaker 2: She actually worked in a McDonald's.
17:47
Speaker 3: She didn't go and pander and disrespect McDonald's workers by
17:51
Speaker 3: standing there in your red tie and take a picture.
17:55
Speaker 1: I'm really confused. How did Trump disrespect McDonald's workers? Can
18:01
Speaker 1: someone please drop a comment and explain this to me?
18:04
Speaker 1: Because I don't understand how it's disrespectful. By the way,
18:07
Speaker 1: this is McDonald's in Minneapolis under Tim Walz's governorship. If
18:13
Speaker 1: you're listening... It's in flames from the BLM rioting, which
18:18
Speaker 1: Tim Walz did, I mean, allowed because he refused to
18:22
Speaker 1: send National Guard in time to protect the public. He
18:25
Speaker 1: had a precinct fully abandoned. I'm going to take a
18:30
Speaker 1: shot in the dark here and guess that McDonald's employees
18:34
Speaker 1: would take Trump dropping in for a day to work
18:39
Speaker 1: at their place over their place of work burning to
18:42
Speaker 1: the ground. It's just a guess, just a guess. Comment
18:45
Speaker 1: if you think I'm wrong about this, but I think
18:47
Speaker 1: they'd prefer Donald Trump dropping by over their McDonald's burning
18:51
Speaker 1: to the ground. Now, Tim Walz isn't the only one
18:54
Speaker 1: mad about Trump's McDonald's visit. The media is angry too.
18:58
Speaker 1: And this is just more evidence that however much you
19:00
Speaker 1: hate the media, it is not enough. Newsweek is now
19:03
Speaker 1: trying to destroy the local McDonald's that hosted Trump over
19:06
Speaker 1: the weekend, writing in an article, an inspection report for
19:09
Speaker 1: the McDonald's restaurant in Pennsylvania cited employees not having clean
19:13
Speaker 1: hands and properly washed. And do not be mistaken, guys,
19:20
Speaker 1: this is a punishment. We're daring to host the former
19:24
Speaker 1: president and current Republican nominee for president. The media is
19:27
Speaker 1: trying to run the McDonald's out of business. What did
19:31
Speaker 1: I tell you guys yesterday? It's not about the working class.
19:35
Speaker 1: The authoritarian left could care less about the well-being and
19:38
Speaker 1: prosperity of normal Americans. It's all a front. It's about
19:42
Speaker 1: political domination and narrative control. And they'll destroy a local
19:46
Speaker 1: business who dares get in their way out of sheer revenge.
19:50
Speaker 1: It's savage, really. Newsweek has also essentially declared war on
19:56
Speaker 1: pro-Trump memery. This is a real article from Newsweek. Donald
20:00
Speaker 1: Trump has shared what is likely an AI-generated image on
20:04
Speaker 1: his true social account, showing him as a player for
20:06
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Here is the deeply misleading tweet in question. Yes,
20:14
Speaker 1: he is jacked in that tweet. It's so silly. Newsweek,
20:19
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. Molly Hemingway tweeted in response, where would we
20:22
Speaker 1: be without corporate media telling us that Donald Trump is
20:25
Speaker 1: not an actual McDonald's employee and is not currently rostered
20:29
Speaker 1: with the Pittsburgh Steelers? And a lot of people have
20:32
Speaker 1: responded by generating the most absurd, over-the-top, hilarious tweets Trump memes, Michael,
20:38
Speaker 1: you can, you can throw a few of them up there.
20:40
Speaker 1: They're pretty awesome. And the left is, is really threatened
20:46
Speaker 1: by our ability to joke because humor scares them. Here
20:52
Speaker 1: is Kamala Harris angry that people dare to think Trump
20:57
Speaker 1: is funny.
20:57
Speaker 4: In many, many ways, Donald Trump is an unserious man.
21:03
Speaker 4: But the consequences of him being president of the United
21:06
Speaker 4: States are brutally serious. There are things that he says
21:12
Speaker 4: that will be the subject of skits.
21:15
Speaker 5: And laughter and jokes.
21:19
Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys, but Joyful Kamala, she
21:21
Speaker 1: really seems like a killjoy. She's angry, people are laughing.
21:26
Speaker 1: Kamala represents the political elite. We discussed yesterday that Democrat
21:30
Speaker 1: voters own 70% of the wealth in this country. That's
21:33
Speaker 1: not unrelated to the left's fear of laughter. These are
21:37
Speaker 1: just a couple of headlines I want to share with
21:39
Speaker 1: you guys. CNN, pay attention to the far right's use
21:43
Speaker 1: of memes to stir extremism. And from the Federalist, new
21:48
Speaker 1: EU alert. Having a sense of humor is proof you
21:51
Speaker 1: might be a far right terrorist. Not only is this
21:55
Speaker 1: a joyless movement, but it's also one that makes up
22:01
Speaker 1: the ruling class. The people in academia, the media, the
22:04
Speaker 1: permanent state, Wall Street, these are people who think they
22:07
Speaker 1: own the rest of us, but they also fear the people.
22:11
Speaker 1: This is why the same group of people want to
22:13
Speaker 1: control what we see on the internet. They tell us
22:16
Speaker 1: we're too stupid to decipher fact from fiction, AI memes
22:19
Speaker 1: of Trump as a Steelers player from reality. So they
22:24
Speaker 1: call for our censorship and control. The government and the
22:27
Speaker 1: media use fear, propaganda, and strict control of information to
22:31
Speaker 1: suppress dissent. This is textbook. But humor, especially satire, exposes
22:36
Speaker 1: their hypocrisy, corruption, and absurdity. Because comedians, they have a
22:41
Speaker 1: special power. They can slip the truth into jokes and
22:45
Speaker 1: reach the masses in a way that's really difficult to censor.
22:48
Speaker 1: And to the regime, this is dangerous. Mocking power is
22:52
Speaker 1: the first step toward the populace losing respect for the
22:55
Speaker 1: regime and ultimately to revolt. So being made a mockery
23:00
Speaker 1: by the masses is terrifying to an authoritarian like Kamala
23:03
Speaker 1: Harris and anyone who makes up the ruling class. So
23:07
Speaker 1: I guess the message is just to keep laughing. It's
23:10
Speaker 1: not only fun, but a powerful tool of resistance. And
23:14
Speaker 1: that is all I have for you guys today. If

23:30
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are underestimating the Trump
23:33
Speaker 3: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
23:36
Speaker 3: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
23:39
Speaker 3: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
23:42
Speaker 3: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue.
23:46
