a little jew boy said the n-word and now ben shapiro's enemies are out for blood welcome back to slightly offensive with your favorite gay black woman me elijah shaffer i I am joined in the studio with your favorite straight black man, Mike Lusso, who is formerly the black mic, but not anymore because you started a new company called Scriber News.
I know as a white, well, as a looking white person, I should say, someone who appears to be pale.
I really have this theory about words because we're going to get into an issue with somebody getting in huge trouble for using this word that words really don't offend people as much as people think they do.
I think people are triggered by words because people in power have conditioned them to react in a certain way so they can divide us.
And I think the N-word is a perfect example that plays upon past slavery.
It's really just a word.
The entire black community uses it.
If you're offended by it, you have the right to be.
I understand it's not considered a good word.
I don't like to use it in my everyday speech because it offends people and I just keep it slightly.
But in the end, I think if you're really truly offended by the N-word and you're not black, that's what's weird to me.
Well, it's like, I think the more important question is, why are black people offended in the first place when they literally let all their friends say it?
It's such a common use.
It's basically dude.
It's dude, dude, whatever.
That's how people treat it.
So, and I know people say, oh, well, it's, you know, A and between the E R N and the A N, it's different.
No, it's the same thing.
It's the same thing.
And it's just, you know, semantics, your plan of words.
And the fact that you keep saying it and you made it normal, the black community made it normal, not white people.
If after slavery and after, you know, all that stuff, black people just let it go and stop saying the N-word, no one, this wouldn't be in our vocabulary right now.
But black people perpetuated this idea that you can say the N-word any, like between every single word, just like you said the F-word or whatever.
Well, you know who also doesn't find the N-word offensive apparently is Kyle Kashuv.
Let's get into today's story for story.
And this is going to be really interesting because we're going to give you guys some information about this you probably haven't heard and make some connections.
It's going to possibly blow your mind or just pass away some time in the car while you drive, which is more likely if you even watch this whole show and made it to this point.
Congratulations.
Anyway, so Kyle Kashuv is this young Jewish boy.
He's a Parkland shooting survivor, one of the many famous Parkland kids with, his name is Emma Watson.
That's a Emma Gonzalez.
Why Emma Watson did not survive Parkland shooting?
All right, Emma Gonzalez, who's a famous queer Parkland kid.
You have David Hogg, who's also a famous queer Parkland kid.
Now, if you have been living under a rock, you don't know about this, but Kyle Kashuv was basically became a prominent speaker for 2A rights or Second Amendment rights.
And he ended up meeting the president of the United States.
He spoke at the NRA convention at the Student Action Summit for Turning Point USA, a large nonprofit company, and a lot of other things.
And around this time, he recently got accepted to Harvard, but of course he did something.
Well, he did something prior to him even being in politics.
And this kind of irony of that if he wasn't a public figure, he would have gone to Harvard regardless because he got in Harvard for his grades, not because of his advocacy.
But apparently he decided to say the N-word, what was it like 50 times in a Google Doc or something like that?
So like, I don't know if there's a difference between saying the N-word 12 or 50 times.
Like, I don't know if it's like, if like if he said it 10 times, then he would have gotten into Harvard or like bet nine times you can get into UCLA, but 11 times is like too much for UCLA.
Like I don't know what the limit of N-words are from white people for college acceptance, but we do have an article here from Forbes, which kind of takes us right to where we are.
And it says, but in May, a series of vile, blatantly racist slurs made by Kashuv in text and shared Google document were released by, of course, the Huffington Post.
So, I mean, you can't think, I mean, already when we're hearing that there was a leak about this guy saying the N-word, he's a prominent conservative voice, and the ideas were leaked by Huffington Post, which we know is not a conservative publication.
Don't you kind of see this as already looking a little nefarious?
And I think, why is it that they went after Kyle when, you know, there's other members of March for Our Lives who have said the N-word in past tweets that have recently surfaced as well, but you don't see HuffPost writing any blogs about them.
Yeah, and David Hogg got into Harvard, didn't even have the scores to get into Harvard, which, and of course, Ivy League schools are not having any controversies recently about letting in people to their ranks that shouldn't be there.
Yeah, Olivia Jade and this entire college scandal.
I mean, right, isn't Olivia Jade's parents, Lori Laughlin and stuff?
They could go jail for like 40 years for these scams.
But of course, this guy's conservative.
And it says here in the Google document, for example, Kashuv uses the N-word 12 times, including like, and quote, like, I'm really good at typing.
He posted on Twitter explanation for what he called callous comments I made a few years ago, claiming we were 16-year-olds making idiotic comments using callous and inflammatory language in an effort to be as extreme and shocking as possible.
Look, dude, if you're trying to make a case that you're stupid and that you use bad words, you shouldn't have used words like inflammatory and callous in your apology.
That kind of shows everyone you're really intelligent and you understand language really well.
Yeah, but Kyle Kashuv didn't allow, you know, 12, 16-year-old dicks in him either, Cheryl.
Okay.
So all of us do things we regret that other people didn't do.
I'm not saying she was a whore.
I'm just saying Cheryl's such a hoe name.
Apologize to any Cheryls.
My aunt is Cheryl.
I take it back.
I take it back.
I took it back.
I see, I apologize.
You said not to, but I doubled down.
But anyways, he says he was embarrassed by it.
But we got to look at this now.
This whole situation, this has nothing to do with Kyle.
Okay, this is the key here.
Number one, people think that this story has to do with a liberal progressive school, an institution like Harvard trying to take down Kyle.
Wrong.
Number two, people think that this is about a society trying to repair from racism that's not allowing any substitutions or any errors in their basically in the prodigies or in political figures.
Wrong as well.
Nobody cares about that Kyle said the N-word.
Okay.
Kyle is like, he's a nice kid, I think.
We'll talk about that in a second.
His eyes are a little bit sunken in.
He survived a school shooting.
Here we go.
Let's get into really what this is about.
And I know this is really, truly all about getting to Ben Shapiro.
Like, that's like, mom's like, what do they call you at school?
Dude, Elijah, Ed's, N-Jock.
It's like, that's not in my repertoire.
But I will say this.
I don't even know what I said in high school.
I was so stoned.
Like, all of I literally was like high and drunk all of high school to the point where I have blacked out so many times.
Like, the question is, though, Sam Hyde once famously asked, would you say the N-word to save the world?
Like, if you had to yell the N-word really loudly to save the world, would you do it?
That's my question for you guys.
Would you yell the N-word to save the world?
Anyways, let's talk about how we know this has to do with taking down Ben Shapiro.
All right.
It comes down to some really old beefs between three characters and a few others.
And we're going to lay them out on the table.
This is Mike Cernovich, Ben Shapiro, Laura Loomer.
And now we have Kyle Kashuv in here.
I want to underline that both of us know all of them to some extent, some more than others.
I would say none of us, neither of us have animosity towards any of these people.
We've met them.
There's no issues.
This is not a takedown.
This is just a drama alert letting you know what's really happening.
But let's go back to an old article from The Verge.
And The Verge brings this up.
And it says, as noted by Polygon, conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich, which, by the way, not a conspiracy theorist, perhaps best known as one of the most active promoters of the fake Pizzagate conspiracy theory.
By the way, before going further, do you notice that every time someone writes about Mike Cernovich, they first intro it with like slashing him down and kind of discrediting him?
And so it says here specifically during this time that basically Mike Cernovich exposed James Gunn, who was this director of Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
I think they ended up rehiring James Gunn even after firing him for these tweets.
Yeah, I mean, Ben was kind of like my intro into the politics.
The more I became informed of Ben, I think the more, the less I listened to him.
I think Ben is really for a lot of people who are not as informed, but once you start to get your own footing, you kind of like listen to him less.
But yeah, I mean, I like Ben.
I think there's a lot of things that he says that are intellectually honest, but I think people need to realize that there's a difference between being intellectually honest and being intellectually consistent.
And Ben is not intellectually consistent all the time.
Yeah, and I think he's also out of touch with the culture because Ben Shapiro, the one thing that you don't do usually is try to defend people who said the N-word.
And I would say one step further is try to defend people who are like making like, trying to like, making hints that they're, and James Gunn basically.
After all of this and got exposed, the rap said, you know, Disney drops James Gunn from the Guardians Of The Galaxy and then Ben Shapiro retweets back.
I think James Gunn is an a-hole, as my exchange with him earlier this week made clear.
I also think that firing him for vile old joke tweets is bad precedent and a mistake.
There is no limiting principle to the outrage mob.
Okay, so on one hand I get Ben Shapiro's a free speech guy and I could understand him, like you said, being consistent, and then every time someone's fired for a joke or humor, that he defends them.
But can we just say here that Ben Shapiro picks and chooses who he's going to defend, who he's going to attack, and that he's not keeping the same line of defense when he goes after people?
In this case, he basically trashed a right-wing ally to defend somebody who clearly probably hates him, and we have evidence that James Gunn doesn't like Ben Shapiro in a second.
I think it goes back to the whole being intellectually uh consistent, comparing.
So when people go after the right and he says, you know, we can't adhere to the mob.
James Gunn did not lose his job because of the mob.
He lost his job because he said a lot of pedo, very disgusting tweets.
And comparing that to someone who says, oh uh, I believe that there's only two genders and the mob goes after that person saying that they added that situation is equivalent to someone posting pedo tweets.
Yeah, and the left hates him because actually there's a.
There's a random connection between someone named Mark Duplass who went out and defended James I mean Ben Shapiro and said that Ben Shapiro actually was Intellectually consistent.
He was an honest guy, that people on the left should listen to him.
And then he got hated on by everybody because Ben Shapiro, for instance, doesn't just have enemies on the left and the right.
He actually has enemies for a lot of things that he said.
We'll get back to this controversy.
There's an article here by Vox, our favorite lispy queer promoting website, right?
And this is true.
This is really true.
They do.
People call me a lispy queer, and I'm not offended by it.
I'm not, this whole idea of Carlos Maza, I always keep bringing this up, being offended by being called a lispy queer from Vox.
If you don't know the controversy of Steven Crowder, wake up, watch more YouTube, stop spending time with your family and doing things that matter, become a degenerate like the rest of us online.
You know, I mean, this is the idea.
I'm a lispy queer, fine.
But it says this.
So let's go over some of these things that Ben Shapiro said, which are part of the reason why people don't really like him.
This is his quote writing that Israel likes to build and Arabs like to bomb crap and live in open sewage.
I mean, not wrong, necessarily.
It's not necessarily wrong, but he's truthful sometimes, but not.
I mean, regardless of what you think of the Trayvon Martin situation, I mean, tweeting about how, you know, he's dead and how you would have been alive if he hadn't.
Yo, it's extremely strict in who they let write for them, you know, but they'll let you know a bunch of high schoolers write for them because they're involved in school shooting.
But here's the key thing now: what you don't understand is that just recently, then, during this time with Kyle Kashuv, Laura Loomer set up a petition to get Kyle kicked out of Harvard.
Like, Laura Loomer came up with the idea to kick Kyle out of Harvard.
Laura Loomer's a Jew, and I know Kyle's a Jew, and a lot of people think that there's collusion between the Jews.
Here's a good example: they're not even on the right, the Jews really can't work together.
It's true, okay?
There's no other, the only thing Masad does is completely fund the show, give us our scripts, tell us everything to say.
And other than that, they have basically no input.
Like, if you call your kid, like, can you talk crap to your kid because you made it?
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, can you, can you seriously, if you made something, can you actually be a, can you be racist anymore?
Like, if I marry a, if I married another black lesbian and we had an in vitro fertilization and then I had a baby through insertion, uh, do you think I could be racist towards towards black people?
All right, speaking of internalized hate, Laura Loomer doesn't like Kyle Kashuv.
And the reason why they don't like him, and this is kind of bringing a wrap-up, is because specifically, Kyle Kashuv is the proxy for Ben Shapiro.
He's actually his prodigy.
And Ben Shapiro is really hard to get at.
And right during all this time happened, if you go to Mike Cernovich's Twitter, Mike Cernovich started bringing up old tweets from Shapiro.
One of my favorite beings that if you wear a non-bent hat with a flat rim and you sag your pants and use an EBT card, you have a 0% chance of being someone who's successful.
Which sounds like he's talking about people like you, Mike.
From other sources, from a lot of sources, from every source I've met, actually.
And this is if Kyle's watching this or someone gets, I'm not against Kyle.
He's a young kid.
Everyone's stupid and makes mistakes.
He's learning.
He's growing.
He's developing.
Freaking develop and grow, Kyle.
I don't care.
But the thing is, is that that's the point in all this.
You got to be nice to people.
You got to be kind.
You got to be loving.
You got to be genuine.
And that's the message we're trying to preach is love, is that you've got to look out for people because Ben Shapiro, for instance, when you're exclusive, you don't defend the right conservatives.
You don't come to the defense of other people, you stay in your own niche, people start to not like you.
Even if the general population does, a lot of people start to not like you.
And the same thing goes with Kyle.
And that's what you're learning in mentorship from Ben Shapiro: hey, just shut everyone off, do your own thing.
When something like this happens and you needed help, the very people that would have come to your aid end up screwing him over even more and getting him kicked out because he burned too many bridges.
It's not cool to burn bridges.
The only person I know that burned more bridges is Nuance Bro.
Yeah, I mean, I think people don't understand that more people are for revenge than people think.
People think that most people, if you just ignore them, whatever, then they'll never hurt you in the future.
But if you never make any type of connections with people when you're out involved, especially in politics, you never make any type of connections with people, never reach across the aisle or have conversations with people you disagree with.
This is what's happened.
And it's ironic because, you know, the Daily Wire group and the Ben Shapiro group, they're the people who say, who are saying that, you know, reach across the aisle, be friendly to people who don't disagree with you.
But then people you do agree with on a lot of things, you don't even give the time of day.
And, you know, a house divided cannot stand, basically.
And I know because we work with Blaze Media and I know that, you know, Daily Wire and them work a lot together.
And I have articles published on Daily Wire.
I got nothing against them, but here it's slightly offensive.
We're not going to be afraid to talk about the real issues because I think a lot of people don't want to talk about Ben Shapiro, Kyle Kashuv, these people, because it's like, well, they're so big and we don't want to be, you know, we don't want to get gatekept out of something.
We don't want to get, if we talk about Ben Shapiro, then we're not going to get future work.
I'm not crapping on Ben Shapiro or Kyle Kashuv or anybody.
I'm just saying this is really what's happening and we got to unite together.
We got to stop and cut out the BS.
If you don't agree with us, if you don't think Kyle Kashuv was responsible for this, if you think the blame is on Harvard, if you think the blame is on liberals, if you think that people don't like him because of his 2A stance, or maybe you just disagree with us as lesbians, or you're not a lesbian.
I am.
Maybe you just don't like gay people.
And so you're a homophobe and you want to disagree with me.
I'm okay with that.
You know, that's fine.
Burn a rainbow flag in my name and I'm okay.
Okay.
But the reality is, is that you can disagree, but make sure that you like, share, subscribe this video.
Make sure that you check out the links below to support independent media, buy merch, PayPal, whatever it is you can to keep this going.
And Mike, I'm going to give you the last 60 seconds.
What do you want to leave the audience with?
Make sure you end it with God bless the United States of America.
