TODAY we’re talking about the killing of Robert Fortson, a Black US Airman, inside his own home while armed with a legal handgun. We watch the right’s unified front against BLM splinter as body cam footage shows Mr. Fortson pointing the gun down when he is shot. ALSO: Two Biden staffers resign amid his support for Israel’s war on Gaza, and we go to the Washington Post comment section to see what the world’s smuggest liberals have to say about it. FINALLY: It’s the incredible story of a Zionist college crusader who was forced into the pungent embrace of cheese addiction by campus Palestine groups. Oh, Brie-have!

Hey, Tony, did that sentence I said make any sense to you yet?
No.
No.

We've been doing it for years, and there's a lot of fun stuff over there.
Stuff that you probably won't see in the free feed, like us doing Or me doing live reads of like my Antifa lover and the erotic historical fiction about Hillary Clinton fucking Bill Clinton but not marrying him.
Stuff like that.
Our mini-series on the anarchists, the HBO documentary about anarcho-capitalists trying to set up their own little planned community in Acapulco, Mexico and getting immediately killed by By the people in the area.
Actually murdered.
Our series on black-white, the race-swapping, blackface TV show.

Make them aware of Minion Death Cult so I'm not just cold calling them and annoying them at dinner or whatever with the request to be on the show.
Because I haven't heard of a lot of these people that are being recommended to come on the show, so I'm just assuming they have not heard of us as well, you know?
Yeah, and like we say, the best thing for any podcast is like, you know, we don't care about what other people think, we just care about what you guys think, and they feel the same way, so if the listeners want it, they'll make it happen.

You might be able to find it through a search on Facebook.
I don't know.
I think they're shadowbanning us.
I think they've been doing that for seven years now.
But the group's a fun time.
There's a couple thousand people in it.
It is barely moderated by me.
Do not do anything bad in the Facebook group, please, for the love of God.
Other than that, have fun, treat each other nicely, and answer that gosh damn poll so we can make this show the best content you've ever, you've ever freaking heard, you've ever consumed.
Absolutely, absolutely.
Is that anything else up top?
You ready to get into the show?
I'm ready to get into it.
I'm ready to get into this good ol' cheese hate.
Love.
Racism.
You're still jumping the gun.
You're going to have to wait a little bit more for that.
Starting off the episode, I wanted to talk about the killing of Robert Fortson by a Florida police officer.
I don't know if you've seen this story, Tony, but former U.S.
Air Force, I don't know what his rank was, Air Force soldier, was killed in his own apartment after a police officer knocked, pounded on his door.
Dumanity come out.
He answered the door with a gun, his firearm in his hand, pointed at the ground.
And body cam footage shows him with his other hand facing the police officer.
You know, I'm not pointing my gun at you.
I could be surrendering if we play this right.
And then the cop shoots and kills him.
The funeral was just held and Hundreds of people were in attendance to remember him.
He was apparently a beloved member of his community.
The Air Force showed out for him.
And even his, even the pastor who had, you know, spoke the words at the funeral really kind of highlighted
the awful nature of this killing and the way that police seem to have not just impunity you know when they do kill somebody but there's a certain type of person that gets killed by the police you know um and it doesn't matter if you were an air he brought up uh Medgar Evers who himself was a veteran and was still uh killed still shot down and killed by a racist in the in The 60s, I believe.
I can't remember what decade it was.
But yeah, and that's, you know, that's what we're seeing here.
Real quick, we haven't said it yet, but Robert was a young black man.
Robert is a young black man.
That hasn't been said out loud so far, but that is part of what we're talking about.
That's a huge factor of what we're talking about.
Yeah, so that is a fact that's playing here, because I don't know whether we like it or not.
You know, when you hear The tale of, of, uh, you know, a good, a good citizen being gunned down by being, oh, they're, they're a vet.
You know, they were, they were doing it.
All right.
I think it is important to illustrate that part.
That part is the factor that's pretty crucial here is that Robert is when was a black man.
Yeah.
So obviously like a lot of right-wing publications.
A reporting on this, it's something that's harder for them to ignore because there is such an outcry and he did have such support in the community and he is so fondly remembered.
It sucks that it takes something like that to get your story noticed or to get any semblance of justice or whatever.
But one of the publications I saw a report about this was Stars and Stripes, was, you know, a veteran's or a, you know, a enlisted soldier's magazine, you know, website.
And they, even they, even they noted the, you know, the racial component to the likely racial component to this.
Nobody's ever going to be able to say 100% that cop was racist and that's why he shot There's no scientific way to determine that, but you don't need it, because it's obvious.
It's obvious that even if the cop himself wasn't racist, the system, what it makes people do makes people act in that way, regardless of whatever the content of their heart is, right?
So one of the, like, so there is a strong, like, right-wing gun owner pushback to this story.
Um, because for the people, you know, we'll get into who's arguing for what here, but the people defending this shooting are essentially saying you're not allowed to hold a gun in your own home.
He wasn't threatening.
He wasn't pointing it.
He wasn't even making verbal threats to my knowledge.
He was just holding a gun in his own home and he was shot.
Yeah, this is the story.
When we make fun of the cops who have the Don't Tread On Me sticker and say you're the boot, this is the story.
This is them being the boot.
This is what we're talking about.
This is that impunity.
Everyone talks big game about being able to stand your ground, defend yourself, protect your family.
All the things we say about guns.
Be a good guy with a gun.
Except for...
You can't answer the door with your gun when someone's pounding on your door being a threat and you don't know who it is yet?
Yeah, this is exactly that.
This is the boot in action.
Yeah, it's really weird how they only, like, the people they're most afraid of, or the, I don't know, hyper... The people against whom they have to have, like, a hyper-vigilance are, uh, what, drug addicts?
Like, who they fantasize about coming... Drug addicts, and then, like, college students.
Like, that's who these people fantasize about standing their ground against.
Yeah, teens.
Teens, actually.
Teens, and it's just, and it's like, well, that's easy.
I could shoot a bunch of college students right now.
You know what I mean?
It's so funny.
It's because the actual state apparatus, the actual apparatus of oppression is obviously on their side, for the most part, until sometimes the wires get crossed and an Air Force serviceman gets shot by the cops.
And because we have this sort of nexus point of Stand Your Ground, Second Amendment, absolutists versus cop apologists, pro-police absolutists.
you get some very interesting takes, like this one I saw here.
Jay Hands says, "The cop should not have drawn, "have had his gun drawn.
The Second Amendment allowed the airman to have his gun, but he was killed for that.
The cop murdered him.
I have never agreed with Ben Crump before in my life until this incident.
For people who don't know, Benjamin Crump is the attorney who often represents families killed by, you know, African American families killed by, whose family members were killed by police.
And it's just, it's very interesting that it's, yeah, because it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a troop who died.
The man was, you know, Robert was a, was a troop.
Therefore, suddenly, maybe this wasn't a good shoot.
Yeah.
Being able to call him an airman does a lot of, a lot of legwork here, you know?
Right after this, replying to this, is Joseph, Joseph Gribble, uh, Mighty King Joe is his at, uh, who says, he was murdered, but it was not about race.
Oh, okay.
That's the fun, that, that's the fun, I laughed out loud when I saw this.
This is like the funniest possible response.
He was murdered, but don't you dare slander his murderer.
And it's funny, because the comment he's replying to, he didn't even say anything about the race.
He was just saying how it was a violation of the amendments.
He wasn't saying anything about race in that comment.
Well, he agreed with Ben Crump, and Ben Crump just is race, you know, for them.
He's sentient race.
Yeah, they do this all the time.
It's just like everything.
They're obsessed.
They're obsessed with it.
No one was even claiming that, bud.
I was actually trying not to claim that here because it doesn't help me at all.
It doesn't help us at all.
Sure.
We need you to finally identify with somebody.
So I'm not gonna call him black, actually.
I'm just gonna call him an airman and a gun owner.
And you're fucking it up for me.
Thanks a lot.
Yeah, exactly.
It's so fucking funny to be like, yes, the cop was a murderer, but other than that, he was a good man.
Why do you defend this guy?
How do you know he wasn't a racist?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
I don't know.
It's very funny.
It's like the same thing to be like, yeah, my ancestors may have had slaves, but I didn't.
I'm not my ancestors.
Also, my ancestors were good and cool.
This cop has other friends, he was like, oh no, no, he absolutely was a racist, but this actually wasn't about racism.
This was just him, he's scared of guns.
He's just scared of guns, period.
This one wasn't about racism, but yeah, he is a racist and is, you know, day to day.
This, like, they just, I think it is, like, they are still identifying with the cop.
Oh, totally.
Like, they will still identify with a murderous cop, a murderous cowardly cop, Because he's white than the guy who was shot, even though he was an airman.
Because he's black, right?
Like, you're automatically knee-jerk reaction defending the cop like it's you.
Like somebody accused you of being racist.
The way that the way this works is like you just they just spin the story to kind of suit their thing you know like we're gonna talk about this on a later thing but and this Scotty Scheffler thing this white cop arrested this golf this you know professional golfer and the comments were talking about all about how this black cop was overstepping his line you know his responsibilities and like no one's anything about a black cop but they made the cop black because they like the guy he arrested like that's just what with what we do in this country it's amazing
Yeah, for more on that, listen to what will be last week's Death Chat 500 at this point, by the time you're hearing this episode.
The last Death Chat 500 got a lot of fun stuff.
The race mental gymnastics is always fun to watch in these situations.
Yeah, and then who else do you think also didn't think this was about race, Tony?
Elon Musk.
Close, kind of.
TKW.
Terrence K. Williams, yep.
Yep, TKWs.
Uh, who quotes Roland S. Martin, who's Roland, Roland S. Martin is like a talk show, a black talk show host who says this black mother is burying her 24 year old black son because of the color of his skin.
And I think there's a good fucking argument for that.
I think that cops are fucking trained to view, to view everybody as a threat essentially.
Uh, but obviously to view black people as a, as a threat particularly, um, Yeah, I think that there's a really good argument for that to be made.
Terrence K. Williams quotes it and says, You're slandering an innocent man!
I'm sick of your race baiting BS.
You have no evidence that his race or skin color had anything to do with you're slandering an innocent man I mean, he's not innocent of the murder, but he's innocent of being racist, which is worse than murder Yeah, I call me a murder before you call me a racist, please Jeez.
Please.
You literally never speak about the young, innocent black children that are gunned down every week in Chicago.
You don't care about black lives.
I'm sick of people pretending to care about black lives, but ignore all the killings in Chicago.
Sick of selective outrage.
Who's with me?
And then he uses the yellow, uh, emoji for like hand, you know, hand raising the yellow hand emoji again, cowardly.
He's not being color brave like Starbucks taught us to, unfortunately.
Wouldn't you believe it?
A thousand white boomers are with him.
In the comments, saying, I'm with you, Terrence.
I can't even see the comments, I just know that's what it was.
You're not wrong, no.
I'm sick of people pretending to care about black lives but ignore all the killings in Chicago.
If you keyword searched Terrence K. Williams' Twitter and looked for killings in Chicago or black-on-black violence, Every instance would just be a quote tweet of somebody else pointing out, you know, racial discrimination or, you know, a murder.
Like, I guarantee you the only time that Terrence K. Williams talks about black-on-black crime or black kids dying in Chicago is to try and get somebody else to stop suing the cops for shooting their son.
Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.
There's no way that's not what it is.
He's the saddest boy.
He makes me so sad.
Yeah, it's pretty bad.
So, speaking of sad boys here, a guy who really the brunt of the sort of...
Tangled web of ideologies that, you know, just does like a fucking five-way intersection collision in this discourse was thoughts of a patrol officer.
We've talked about thoughts of a patrol officer a couple times on this show.
One of my favorite cop podcasters, just because of his, he's so prolific.
He's so prolific with his posting and his memes.
There's always something to enjoy from Thoughts of a Patrol Officer, who also has a Twitter account.
His Twitter account is Officer Ben, which is, that's not good SEO.
You know, the name of your podcast is Thoughts of a Patrol Officer, but you're, I don't know, you got to kind of get that uniform across all platforms.
He shared a screenshot of his own tweet where he defends the killer cop and says, the deputy was at the correct... Oh!
Forgot to look this... So one of the initial ways that this went viral was...
There was a rumor that the cops had the wrong address.
They were just knocking on the wrong door, trying to serve a warrant on the wrong house and shot the wrong guy altogether.
Yeah.
And I'm scrolling through.
I'm looking for it.
I can't find it.
But one of the main spreaders of this particular piece of false news was the Hodge twins.
The black twins, the black bodybuilding twins who give away trucks on Facebook to boost their SEO and, you know, just make fun of trans people and gay people and, you know, undocumented immigrants and things like that.
They shared the clip of the video and the story about the, you know, wrongful death and said, wow, and he was at the wrong house and everything.
So I bet that generated some discourse among their typical fan base.
But Officer Ben thinks he's correcting the record, saying the deputy was at the correct address, knocked and announced loudly.
Roger Fortson knew a police officer was knocking, and he still came to the door with a gun in hand.
If the deputy hesitated, he could have been killed.
And then, uh, he's included a photo, like a meme, that's just top text says, 100% justified based on what the officer knew at the time.
And it's like a side-by-side comparison of where Robert was pointing the gun, which is clearly at the ground, and his airman photo, like his, you know, service photo.
So he tweeted that out on Twitter, but the screenshot is...
From when it reached 4.8 million views and he got ratioed 4.6 thousand replies to only 700 likes and he's liked his own tweet.
I've just realized that now.
He liked his own Officer Ben tweet to get it up to 700 because I guess the ratio looks a little better if it's not 699.
Hey listen, why would anyone fuck with you if you don't fuck with you?
You know what I'm saying?
I gotta fuck with me so the people fuck with me.
Oh yeah, I hear all about how, oh there's no scene, there's no scene.
Yeah, well why aren't you liking my posts?
That's how you create a scene.
And he's written, this is like the Instagram edit feature, he's written over all of this, over the screenshot of his ass getting fucking roasted, just in ratio alone.
He says, LOL, Twitter's algorithm is nuts.
I haven't been on the receiving end of this much hate since the Summer of Love.
I do love this response.
Wow, this algorithm's nuts.
And it's just like people sending you memes to kill yourself.
It's just like people sending guns at you.
Wow, the algorithm must be off today.
Hey Elon, why are you throttling my post?
Yeah, it's... I'm being shadowbanned.
Everybody can see and reply and call me things like, uh, fuck ass.
They just can't like it?
But for some reason they can't like it.
I don't know... What's happening?
This is fucked up, Elon.
Fix this.
And then he keeps sharing stuff to Facebook.
Twitter is still insane, LOL.
And he's just screencapped replies to him saying, your breath must smell like pig dick.
And then Deplorable TV, again, an example of the, like, right wing at odds with each other here.
Deplorable TV replied to Officer Ben, police get paid to take risks, which is, yeah, I guess true.
And then Officer Ben replies, the deputy took the risk by showing up for the call.
We are not paid to take bullets.
Well, I think that's a good way to look at it.
It's like, well, no, the big risk is just going into work every morning knowing that I could be killed.
But then once I encounter a single human being, like me shooting them, that's just part of the job.
That's different.
Yeah.
He doesn't realize, like, dude, you need some officers.
You need people to walk up to cop cars and shoot cops in the face every once in a while so that people still respect you.
Because if that stops happening, then you're just a guy.
So this guy said, and before we reflect for a second, I want to read a crazy finax tweet here who said, seems like he's showing the video.
Seems like a suicide by cop.
He had a firearm in his hand when he opened the door.
Either the officer reacts with deadly force or he's got seconds to live.
That's the reality.
Not the reality.
At all.
That's reality.
No.
But that seems to be the big defense of the cop and even this thoughts of a police officer.
Officer Ben says it himself.
Roger Fortson knew a police officer was knocking and yet he still opened the door.
Like, idiot?
What are you doing?
Don't open your door.
It's a cop.
He's gonna kill you.
Yeah, you can shoot through that door.
Don't you know that?
You don't know how to open it.
Well, I mean, sure.
Okay, but genuinely, like, their argument seems to be, well, you knew he was a police officer when you opened the door.
You knew what he was gonna do to you.
Which, yeah, but statistically, it's like, What you're saying is that Rogers should have acted faster.
Is what you're saying, actually.
They're saying that Rogers should have known, this guy's coming to you with a gun in his hand.
You also have a second to act with deadly force, or you might know what happens.
That's the reality of it.
I honestly don't see another way to look at the situation, right?
If you're bringing fucking guns into the situation, even if you have a constitutional right to carry, this seems to just incentivize killing the cop before they kill you.
Yeah, because like every movie that I love, the protagonist makes a decision in their head where it's like, I'm going to have to kill a couple cops and hopefully still see a trial.
And that's what you're doing in that situation.
That's the math you have to do in that situation.
Well, OK.
I mean, let me de-escalate here a little bit.
OK, so yes, the argument seems to be You knew he was a cop.
Why did you open the door holding a gun?
Because the cop is just gonna kill you, you moron.
Because you're exercising your constitutional right to fucking carry a firearm in your own home.
And I'm not unsympathetic to that argument.
I wouldn't call the guy names or anything for doing it.
But yeah, I would say come back with a warrant.
I would say keep your door shut and tell the cop to come back with a warrant if they're even really a cop, you know?
I wouldn't open the door unless I felt like I really had to, right?
However, making this comparison is like acknowledging that a cop is like a wild animal.
A cop is like a feral beast who is just going to kill you if you at all give them any like, I don't know, reason to be scared and that could be a fucking acorn falling outside your window, you know?
You're commenting on a video of a tourist being, you know, bored by a moose.
You're like, you fucking... Moose are beautiful, but they're wild.
You can't just go up to them.
They're making the same argument for the cop.
Right, that's the thing.
And it's like, you know, I have in my notes here, like, the thought is like, okay, a lion, right?
I'll be as charitable.
These guys, these men are, the men in uniform, they're like lions, right?
And it's like...
It's like well you don't you wouldn't open the door if there's a lion outside and it's like okay sure but then I would also probably the society I think should probably like tranquilize the lion and take it somewhere it can't hurt anybody you know like that's the next step if you're if you're acknowledging that they're fucking mindless killing machines like this Jesus Christ Well, it depends.
Am I wearing my shirt that says that I'm a wolf, in fact?
Because I think a wolf might be able to give a lion a solid fight.
I'd be a big wolf.
Uh, timber wolf.
Timber.
There you go.
Um, that's cool.
I would be, I'd be a warg.
I'd be the wolves that the orcs ride.
So I'd be like bigger than you, but timber wolf's still cool.
That's still nice.
Um.
Jordan Badger says he's commenting on the thoughts of a patrol officer Facebook post.
Everybody that grew up without the internet are such better people.
Hell yeah, dude.
Every time I see somebody get gunned, shot, shot to death, I'm like, this is social media's fault.
This is because we, this is because kids are on their phones all the time, you know?
Yes, there will always, and there is of course misspelled.
Yes, there will always be bad apples and always has been.
Are you saying that the guy who murdered a fucking Air Force veteran was a bad apple?
Are you willing to say that?
Yeah, is that what you're saying?
The post you're replying to is not saying that at all.
They're saying, good shoot, good shoot.
Give this guy a raise and a paid vacation.
Yes, there will always be bad apples and always has been.
These, quote, keyboard warriors get a few, quote, likes on something they say and all of a sudden they think everything they say, dot dot dot, is right.
All these kids want, comma, is internet fame.
Doing all for clout, baby.
Just, okay, the real big, okay grandpa, time for bed moment.
You're talking about like TikTok fame in the replies of a story about a man getting gunned down in his own home.
Yeah, you are internet poisoned.
Absolutely.
They think if something goes, quote, viral, they'll be rich.
This shit is crazy.
Glad I grew up without it, LOL.
You're watching body cam footage of an Air Force veteran get shot, and you're like, man, they don't make music like this anymore.
Do you think that he was like, hey, chat, I'm going to go answer the door for a cop with my gun right now.
BRB.
You think that's what happened?
Where is this coming from?
And I do like... I kind of do like the overall implication, though, if we're trying to connect it back to the story.
I like the overall implication of, like, LOL, you quote keyboard warriors, he means, like, human rights organizations, you know?
Yeah, yeah, right.
It's like, you keyboard warriors, like, yeah, sure, you're big and tough on the internet, but out in the real world, cops kill you.
Yeah.
It's like, yeah, we know.
That's what we're talking about.
It's kind of a bummer.
The only thing we can live through is posting.
You know, other things are a little bit too risky.
In the real world, your so-called constitutional rights don't matter.
Tiddly squat, mucko.
That's right.
Oh, you think your constitutional rights are going to pay your rent?
Think again.
Are you going to eat those?
Is that what you're going to eat?
Oh, and I love this.
We'll move on.
But I love this.
Another thing that thoughts of a patrol officer posted was some study that was published in Police Quarterly.
This is from, I don't know, pqxsagepub.com.
So it's some study that was conducted called Reasonableness and Reaction Time.
What do you think a police study about reasonableness and reaction time is going to conclude, Tony?
You better shoot now and ask questions later.
It's literally cops are too slow to be expected to not shoot somebody.
Yeah.
Cops just have to shoot somebody because otherwise they'll die because of how slow their reaction time is.
Reading from the abstract, when the police use deadly force, their actions are judged by the reasonableness standard.
This article seeks to inform the reasonableness standard.
I love, cops investigated themselves and found their reasonableness standard up to snuff.
It was 96%.
It's crazy.
By examining the ability of police officers to respond to armed suspects, the results of a reaction time experiment are presented.
In this experiment, police officers encountered a suspect armed with a gun pointing down and not at the police officer.
The police officer had his gun aimed at the suspect and ordered the suspect to drop the gun.
The suspect then either surrendered or attempted to shoot the officer.
The speed with which the officer fired if the suspect chose to shoot was assessed.
Results suggest that the officers were generally not able to fire before the suspect.
Implications for the reasonableness standard in policy are discussed.
Uh, I just kind of realized one thing while I was reading this.
So it's very funny to be like, oh, cops are too slow not to shoot people for no reason.
You know, that's, that's kind of like, you know, and maybe, maybe humans in general.
Maybe it's not even cops.
Maybe just humans in general.
Posting Ls.
I think it's cops.
They're posting Ls.
Um...
I like the implication that if somebody starts shooting at you, the way to stop them, the way to not get shot is to shoot them.
What it would seem like, I don't know, if I see somebody raise their gun at me, I would probably be thinking about cover.
Yeah.
Before I would be thinking about landing the like one kill shot, you know, in their aorta that's going to stop them from pulling the trigger in the half second it takes, you know, for their brain to reach their finger.
I mean, I would just, I would think about, I've been, there's a way that I can kick a gun, a gun in someone's hand that will just dump the clip and I'll just catch the clip and then I'll probably like do some sort of like throat jab.
That's cool.
That's me though.
Um, you could like, you know, manually drive a bullet with your fist and into their side or something.
Hold on.
I need, this is important.
Am I on a dirt bike when this is happening?
You're on a dirt bike and there are lions, there are tigers in the arena trying to eat you.
Uh, what do you do?
So naturally, the cover I'm taking is the bottom of my bike when I wheelie.
And then I'm pretty sure I can just shoot behind me and whip the bullet around the corner.
I'm gonna hit him that way.
So yeah, that's what I'm doing.
And I wish our cops would train like we do.
Yeah.
So this is the last thing I'll read.
This is like the moral of the story according to Copsuckers.
Andrew John, who's a top fan of Thoughts of a Patrol Officer and wearing the badge proudly.
Oh yeah.
Andrew John is a hell of a double first name.
That's rough.
Listen, if I can't wear the actual police badge, I will happily wear the Top Fan badge and be just as proud.
Honored.
Andrew John says, I'm glad I live in the world of reality when legal firearm owners learn how to responsibly conduct themselves while armed and train tactically to know that while locked in their own home, they clearly have the advantage over anyone attempting to make entry.
And also, not to open the door to law enforcement after using the peephole installed on the door to verify their identity.
You can't verify a cop's identity through a peephole.
You actually have to look at a badge up close.
Yeah this I think it was uh yeah right here this is the one I was looking for actually from Brian Furlong who says lesson here is if you the homeowner know cops are at the door comma lay down comma or holster that weapon dot dot most of us would never make it through the police academy to even pin on a badge and patrol the street Well, yeah, most of us wouldn't make it because the average person is too intelligent to fucking cut.
And patrol the streets, comma, well, comma, the grand jury will deliberate this, comma, and the facts will come out, comma, dot, dot.
Um, yeah.
And this is the lesson that the police and their supporters want you to take away from this is that if somebody knocks at your door and says they're a cop, you have to immediately lie down on the floor, put your hand, like you should be trying to like, you should keep zip ties in your pocket that are like half looped already so that you can slip them behind your back easily, you know, and pull them tight while you're on your belly.
Uh, and then allow the officer to come in.
Yeah, obviously.
That's the way to go.
It's pretty easy.
Good stuff.
It's the only way to keep yourself safe.
It sucks so bad.
They're like, no guys, you gotta know how to operate under tyranny.
You have to figure this out.
Yeah, and they don't realize how pitiful that is.
It's the same exact thing that All these people who are even objecting to the killing this time, it's what they tell black people.
It's what they tell anybody who has any complaint about police misconduct or abuse.
You have to act a certain way.
You have to obey the psychotic demands, often like contradictory psychotic demands of somebody who's in constant fear for their life.
Or else you're just going to get shot.
And so, yeah, I'm not surprised that they're extending that to legal gun owners now as well.
Entering the ranks of people you're allowed to just kill with impunity.
I mean, you know, it's the same thing we see with these, you know, among a lot of right-wing movements is eventually it does get just too far for even, you know, a lot of them themselves, like what Israel is doing.
Yeah.
You know, uh, they just, they, they take it, they take it too far.
They got a good thing going, uh, and they can't help themselves, you know, and they got to advocate for things like shooting legal gun owners in their own homes or, you know, murdering tens of, cause you just, you can't, you know, enough's never enough.
Um.
Can't satiate it.
Okay.
Let's move on. Let's move
on. Let's
move on.
Let's move
on. Let's move on. Let's move on. Let's move on. Let's move on.
Let's move on. Let's move on. Let's move on. Let's move on. Let's move on. Let's move on.
I guess, yeah, it's hard to even call it good news, but it's not bad news.
And that is the staffers that have resigned from the Biden administration.
Alright, I'm reading from the Washington Post here.
Jewish staffer resigns from Biden administration over Gaza.
Lily Greenberg Call, a staffer at the Interior Department, cites Jewish heritage in accusing Biden of quote, quote, disastrous support for Israel's military campaign.
This is by Yasmin Abu Taleb, again for the Washington Post.
This has 2,400 comments.
A Jewish American Biden political appointee resigned from her post at the Interior Department on Wednesday, saying she could no longer work for the administration because of President Biden's continued support of Israel's war in Gaza.
Lily Greenberg Call, Special Assistant to the Chief of Staff in the Interior Department, cited her Jewish upbringing and ties to Israel in her resignation letter.
She wrote that her family escaped anti-Semitic persecution in Europe and came to the United States, noting that her grandparents could not go to college.
Quote, I can no longer in good conscience continue to resent this administration amidst President Biden's disastrous continued support for Israel's genocide in Gaza.
Greenberg call wrote, Israel strongly denies that its actions in Gaza amount to a genocide.
Well, I love that we're hearing both sides.
We're hearing from somebody who can see what's happening over there.
And then we're hearing from the people who are doing it.
Yep.
I love, not even just like, not including like what the UN thinks that Israel is doing or what genocide scholars think Israel is doing, but Israel thinks it's good.
So.
I love this.
It's not even like an eloquent argument.
It's just, no, no.
Hey, hey, what you're doing is genocide.
Nuh-uh.
Not yet.
No.
Nuh-uh.
Hardly.
Reflecting on her position as an appointee in a presidential administration, she added, This is the story of many people in my community, a story of survival, upward mobility, and fulfillment of the American dream.
And yet, I have asked myself many times over the last eight months, What is the point of having power if you will not use it to stop crimes against humanity?
Uh, very good question.
I mean...
I'm glad she did it.
It's crazy that it took this long for somebody to actually resign to publicly, you know, publicly decry this because we've seen anonymous.
Anonymous staffers urging a ceasefire, whatever, which to me, you could just fuck off with that.
Yeah, that's that's pretty embarrassing thing to do.
Green call is the first known Jewish appointee to publicly resign over Biden's support of Israel.
Earlier this week, a U.S.
Army officer working at the Defense Intelligence Agency resigned from the military, writing in an open letter that he felt, quote, incredible shame and guilt Good.
I'm glad you're feeling that.
You should be feeling that.
Good.
I'm glad you're feeling that.
You should be feeling that.
It's important.
A political appointee from the Education Department resigned in January, and a career State Department employee who worked on arms transfers to foreign powers resigned in October.
Okay, so yeah, there were other resignations, but you know, what, you can count them on one hand?
Pretty bad.
Yeah, pretty bad.
And it is really great, and it is really important that she is identifying her Jewish heritage and putting it out there that way.
Because, you know, we need these stories to combat the The, uh, the idea that being pro-Palestine is anti-Semitic.
We need, like, we need more public, you know, Jews for Palestine, so that's really important that someone this high level is doing that.
Yeah, absolutely.
You know, and they're, they're, they are at every level, despite what the, you know, the media trying to ignore them.
Yeah, no, totally, yeah.
But they are.
They are extremely, and I don't mean to, I hate talking about a group of people saying they, they, you know, but, uh, no, you see it everywhere.
You see, if you go to a pro-Palestine action, you are going to see Jews for ceasefire there.
You're going to see Jewish.
Absolutely.
You won't even see a lot of the Jewish, because they look like normal people, you know?
It's crazy.
Yeah, I just mean it's good someone like a high-profile person is doing that.
Like our friends, the people we all know and love, they're all out there.
One quote I don't think you will see in this article, because it kind of goes on and on, it's mealy-mouthed about Biden.
And his saying, wow, he doesn't support what Israel is currently doing, or he issued this red line, or yada yada.
Not very convincing stuff to me.
One of the quotes in Greenberg's letter was, Biden is making Jews the face of the American war machine, and that is so deeply wrong.
And that's something, you know, as I'm not, I'm not Jewish myself, but that's something that I've seen since the beginning is like, tying Israel to Jewishness is not great.
You know, it's, I mean, that's why you don't do an ethnostate, folks.
That's why you don't do an ethnostate.
Bad idea.
Don't do a religious state or whatever, because it's just, you know, you get psychotic people who think they have a mandate of heaven to do whatever the fuck they want.
And then they drag everybody else who might even look like them into the fucking mix, you know?
And it's just nonsense, and it should not be tolerated at all.
It's horrible, in fact.
Yeah, I've been proven time and time again, it does not work.
Not a good idea.
No.
My Jewish identity is the most important part of who I am and it is all the values I was raised with and all of my Jewish education, 20 years of it, that led me to this decision and it's how I know this is right, Greenberg Kahl said.
What Israel is doing to people in Gaza and to Palestinians across the land is incredibly un-Jewish to me and such a disgrace to our ancestors.
The United States and Israel strongly deny that Israel's military assault in Gaza, which has killed more than 35,000 Palestinians.
And when they say more than 30,000 Palestinians, they mean a lot more.
They mean a lot more.
That's a low number.
It's an old number.
It's an old number from like February or something.
Yeah.
From several, several months ago.
Uh, and displaced.
Nearly the entire population of roughly 2 million amounts to genocide.
Oh, they strongly deny that displacing nearly the entire population of a people amounts to genocide.
Jesus Christ, what a statement.
They say that Israel has a right to defend itself after the October 7th Hamas attack in which militants killed about 1,200 people, many of them civilians.
And took about 250 hostages and then Hamas embeds itself among civilians in a conscious effort to drive up the death toll.
Yeah, it's really fucked up how Hamas only stays in civilian areas instead of the military areas that Israel has allowed them to have, you know?
Yeah, it's wild that they even got into like refugee areas and like safe zones.
They got there too.
That's one thing that's like... Go ahead.
You know, people don't know about the thing about genocide is genocide is not like a thing.
It's actually like a title.
So it's kind of like a championship belt.
So the thing is in order for it to be genocide, you have to have that record number.
Um, and, and, uh, they're not, they're not at that record number right now.
We all know who holds that title and they're not, they're not, so nothing else.
It's a title.
It gets, it's passed around like a belt.
And, um, so until they hit that number, it's not a genocide yet.
If you're wondering what the, how they keep track of that.
Yeah.
It's just, I, you know, I think, I think so many Americans and Westerners, you know, I'm going to be like generous here, are ignorant to what Palestine was like, you know, before October 7th.
I'm pretty sure a lot of people are aware of what Palestine is like now.
Meaning it fucking bombed into smithereens.
But, A place that doesn't have, like, running water, and the argument from the military attackers, the occupiers, is, oh, well, they're using civilian areas.
Like, what other infrastructure is there?
What do you, like, where else, what other types of places are there in Gaza?
There's just places you destroyed and civilian areas you haven't destroyed.
Right?
Like, what would be the appropriate place for Hamas to hang out in?
Anyway, but I wanted to get to some responses in the Washington Post, because that's where you go to get the good lip shit, you know?
You knew it was coming.
Let me just pull it up here.
This is from M Bauer, who says, "I'm curious if y'all can get a message to this young lady.
While I am positive your heart was in the right place.
Can we get it?
Can we make sure she sees this?
Posting on the missed connections section of the stranger.
Hey, how many likes can you respond to this?
How many likes?
Being like, uh, you were there, uh, ignorantly defending terrorism, and I was over here going, what the hell is that youngster yapping about?
Yeah.
Uh, I'm curious if y'all can get a message to this young lady.
While I am positive your heart was in the right place and you meant very well, period.
I am shocked that someone from the administration who has the actual truth and knowledge available to her right there would be so incorrect with her facts.
There is no genocide.
There are NOT over 35,000 dead.
Possibly half of that.
Half... Possibly half that if that.
And yes, still too many.
Okay.
So?
I'm gonna say that's such a tremendous number.
So what do you want from this?
What do you want, bro?
I'm seeing so many parallels here.
I'm seeing through time.
I'm seeing through the fabric of reality here.
Because I am seeing M. Bauer say, Yes, they murdered thousands, but no, they are not doing genocide!
You know?
Yes, they're murdering Palestinians, but no, it is not racist!
That's the argument that I'm seeing here, essentially.
There's no genocide.
There are not over 35,000.
Possibly half that, if that.
This is, of course, referring to the insanely twisted story that just came out where the UN said it was revising its estimates of how many women and children had been killed because the bodies have not been to be adequately identified yet.
Yeah.
And so people are spinning that into meaning that Half of the bodies that they claimed existed just disappeared and weren't actually dead, when in reality, you have to do DNA samples on everybody Israel's fucking killed at this point, because how else would you know the gender or age of the bodies, right?
So that's, you'll see a lot of libs and Zionists and whatever, conservative Zionists say this, that the number's been halved.
The UN had to revise its estimates of dead or whatever.
And again, they're just talking about categorizing the dead that we know exist, which is at 35,000 people, which does not count the dead that they haven't been able to count since Israel destroyed all the fucking hospitals in Gaza.
That was the method of actually calculating Israel's war crimes.
And for some reason, they wanted to blow it up.
They wanted to get rid of the health ministry and all the hospitals.
It's awful.
It's awful how that happened.
Right, Tony?
It's insane.
Hamas was in the hospital walls.
She goes, M. Bauer, he or she, I don't know, M. Bauer goes on, there has never been peace with the Palestinians since the 19th century.
Yeah, because fucking Zinus started a war with them!
Man, I'm like, yeah!
Ask for a refund from Berkeley.
You obviously were taught to believe the dumbest tings and not think for yourself.
I am sorry you wasted too much there.
Do something good for yourself.
Read a book!
An actual printed book on this history written prior to the year 2000.
Wow.
Read a book.
Okay, um, I'm looking at this book right now.
Uh, it's been written by a guy named, uh, Ilyan Pape, I think?
Hmm.
Oh, very interesting.
Oh, wow.
Hmm.
Okay.
All right.
Seems like genocide.
Seems like genocide still.
I like that he's like, you're high up, you know all the facts, and you're still leaving?
It's like, hey, have you thought that maybe they're higher up and they do know all the facts, and that's why they're leaving?
You know what I'm saying?
You really think you know better than her?
Because you've read something that, I don't know, I guess she hasn't.
That's the best part.
You're so smart, how could you be so dumb?
Somebody replies, or somebody comments, and yet I have asked myself how many times in the last eight months, what is the point of having power if you will not use it to stop crimes against humanity?
Clay O'Reilly says, thank you Ms.
Call for taking this intelligent, courageous, and moral stand against the inhumanity that the Biden administration is perpetrating in Gaza.
And a lot of people were supportive of her, you know.
Washington Post obviously tried to both sides it here in their article, but a lot of people, you know, are sickened by what Israel is doing, even the Libyans, even former Zionists, right?
And they were supporting her for the most part in these comments, but it was not hard to find rabid Zionists just in, you know, in the replies and in the top comments themselves.
Grateful for DC Public School Education says, keep trolling for Trump.
While her move is understandable given her youth, the facts belie her feelings.
Her action provides yet another proof of Hamas's superiority in the propaganda sphere.
As progeny of a propagandist, I have wondered since day one who is helping Hamas craft their narrative.
The narrative of just having a camera pointed at what Israel is doing to Gaza, I think that's maybe the propaganda that they're talking about right here.
A strategy we see today shows far more sophistication than does the crafting of their 1988 charter or the abysmally incompetent 2017 quote amendment to it.
As a progeny of a propagandist, that's an as a I've never heard before.
You know, you got your as a woman, you got your as a worker, shout out Sean, you know, you got as a black man, as progeny of a propagandist is a new one.
What does that mean?
What race is that, Tony?
Oh, I don't know if I'm allowed to speculate what race that is.
I don't know if that's something I can do.
Do you think, um... Do you think they have, like, a Muslim father or something?
And that's what they're fucking talking about?
Yeah, I don't know.
It's like, what are you implying here?
What qualifies as propagandist?
Because it sounds like that's the creator of propaganda, right?
Someone who puts it out there?
someone who like, you know, puts it out there. - I, for a second, I, for a second, I forgot that this person's name was grateful for DC public school education.
And I was gonna say, wait, this is just one of those psychotic Germans who thinks that because they're literally related to a Nazi, they get to say what genocide Israel gets to do.
You know, I was like, maybe they're talking about like their fucking grandpa was Goebbels or some shit.
Listen, as a direct descendant of the Nazi, I think I can safely say Israel is not committing a genocide.
They're talking about being raised in the D.C.
school system, which is going to be the ultimate brainwash zone, you know?
Me?
I think this person's a lib.
I think they genuinely are grateful for D.C.
public school education.
I think they're like performatively, you know, rah-rah Biden, rah-rah Washington, D.C.
E Pluribus said, it is not the Israel-Gaza war, it is the Israel-Hamas war.
Why are there no street demonstrations for Hamas to release the hostages?
Why are the people of Gaza occupying places that they know shelter Hamas terrorists and their tunnels?
That's so true.
Listen, Gaza, if you know you Palestinians in Gaza, are you standing on ground?
Yeah, yeah.
Yes, you're standing on ground.
Huh?
Where did tunnels usually appear?
Under the ground?
What do you know?
What are you doing here?
You're standing in front of the target, you're doing this to yourself.
People really believe that too, it's so nuts.
And that whole thing about the hostages, don't you know there's been several...
efforts from Hamas to be like, no, we'll totally give you back the hostages.
No problem.
You just got to do anything for us.
It's been rejected.
They want a permanent ceasefire for the return of the hostages, and it's been rejected.
And other negotiations have been successfully negotiated that Israel then says no.
It's like, have they already forgotten about all the hostages that Hamas did have or has had how they've come out and been like, no, they've been pretty nice to us.
They've been pretty hospitable.
The exact opposite of what Israel is doing.
I've heard mixed stories.
I don't want to be laundering everything that happens.
But yes, I have heard mixed stories about how the hostages are treated.
Some of them have been treated.
Have said that they were treated very fairly while they were there and they ate with their captors and ate what their captors ate.
What was I going to say here?
Okay, let me keep reading.
America stands for democracy and against terrorism.
If you aid and abet terrorists, you are fighting against freedom.
Again, standing on the ground and actually aiding and abetting terrorists, you're not like necessarily doing anything for them, but you're giving people in the media a reason to try and make Israel feel bad for killing civilians.
Which is as bad as being Hamas or whatever.
Think about that.
Next time you want to die, next time you want to be killed by Israel, think about how it's going to make them look.
People aren't thinking about how traumatic this is for Israel, you know?
If you are too afraid of the terrorists to protest their behavior, call your friends and relatives in America to protest Hamas for you.
Has that happened?
No!
One must then conclude that the people who could and should protest Hamas in Gaza are not offended by Hamas.
Rather, they are offended by Israel.
The word is occupied by Israel, by the way.
Ask yourself why, and don't give yourself a simplistic, historically unsupported answer.
Clay O'Reilly replies, and just where would you have the two million refugees barely surviving the Israeli genocide in Gaza go this time?
Gaza is in ruins.
Where would you have them go in order to facilitate the destruction of their lives, their homes, and their society by the fascist state of Israel?
And E Pluribus replies, to Egypt or Qatar or one of the other states giving comfort and support to Hamas terrorists.
We move millions of people every day.
It could be done.
I like that statement.
We move millions of people every day.
They mean like, Oh, New York subway moves 2 million people every day over the course of 12 hours or whatever.
And it's like, okay, so we'll just build a rail system, a subway system, uh, from Palestine to Egypt.
Uh, also like, I'm not, I'm not an expert on geopolitics.
I'm not an expert on, on world affairs.
I'm pretty sure like, We are allied with Egypt, and they have to do what we say.
And we don't like Palestine.
America doesn't like Palestinians.
And I believe that's like a big reason why Egypt isn't.
Yeah, and then they end it by saying, bring the hostages home first, then everything else can be discussed.
Israel's just going to end up killing those hostages before they can ever be brought home.
I think is what's going to happen.
Okay, well, congratulations to the staffer who resigned, all the staffers who have resigned.
You guys, the rest of you better get on it.
The rest of you better hurry the fuck up.
You're running out of time here.
You do wield a great deal of power.
It'd be cool if you did use it.
Yeah.
Okay, the last thing we got to talk about, and I know Tony, I know you've been waiting, is the Zionist Cheese Addict.
Oh, yeah!
This was sent to me by Ani, but it was discovered, I think, by Viva Palestine on Twitter, who found this New York Post article "The Gouda, Bad and Ugly." - Oh, so good. - "NYC Law Student Addicted to Cheese "went to nearly $6,000 per week rehab." So this is one of your-- - Holy shit. -
This is one of your typical let's make fun of college students New York Post stories. - Yeah. - That you get pretty frequently if you read the New York Post.
Unfortunately, young Zionists for Israel caught astray on this one because this girl was part of a Zionist student organization and she attributes that directly with why she became addicted to cheese that's so funny um okay so let's let's read here a law school student was so hooked on cheese
she had to go to rehab to end her insatiable appetite for dairy she told the post adela cohab or it's either cojab or cohab cohab said her camembert cravings began during her junior year at new york university in spring 2018 when she binged almost daily on the cheapest bricks of white cheddar and parmesan she could find and
And there's a photo of her doing like the white girl soy face like that.
Oh my god!
While holding two giant blocks of cheese.
With what looks to be very expensive, like nice moldy cheese.
This is pretty funny already, Tony.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I don't know if you agree.
It's pretty great.
Yeah.
It's pretty funny because like... This is like a girls episode.
This is like an episode of girls.
Well, yeah, I gotta say that just like, you know what's funny to me in general?
Is cheese.
Cheese, yep.
You know?
It's funny, I wasn't even thinking that way this whole time, but yeah, cheese.
Cheese is pretty funny.
And we, Ani and I just started re-watching Family Matters, and I cannot wait until we get to a cheese episode.
Yeah, there will be a cheese episode, yeah.
There will be several episodes where Steve Urkel tells us about how much he loves cheese.
Did you see that full action role, Light Skin, on the internet recently?
He was Urkel-ing it up?
No, what was he doing?
Yeah.
He was like, it's difficult growing up as a black man when black girls don't like you.
It's like, Doug, you were one of the most famous black people in the country at the time.
What are you talking about?
He said black girls specifically didn't like him?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't remember that being the case.
Sounds like a skill issue, bro.
Yeah, exactly.
That's exactly it.
They even gave him the Stefan arc.
Remember when they gave him the Stefan arc where he got to be hot?
He was hot.
Dude, you were fine.
So that was something up with you.
That was a very you thing.
Yeah, as a white guy who's not part black or whatever, I've never noticed it to be a problem.
Yeah, yeah.
I've never had a problem getting along with black girls.
Let's just say that.
But no, I love, I love, this is like, it seems like a fucking...
Hallucinated, like phantasmagoric, psychedelic.
Like somebody cheese-pilled themselves so hard because they liked cheese so much that they got a disease like Tom Green.
Remember?
Tom Green put his bum on the cheese and got a disease from it?
Yeah, absolutely.
I hope she didn't do that.
It's funny because the way this is being told is kind of funny.
It's almost charming and cute that she had a cheese addiction.
Because she is pretty.
Because she's pretty and not fat.
Don't worry, Tony.
She gets so fat.
- Oh no, Tony, oh she gets, don't worry Tony, she gets so fat. - Oh no, she gets so fat. - She gets 175 pounds. - She gets so fat for the cheese.
Like, well, no, I'm exaggerating.
That's what they're talking about.
Kohab's weight shot up to a peak of 172 pounds during her cheese addiction.
And it's her in like a bridesmaid's dress.
Oh man, this sucks.
That sucks.
They suck.
She's like, I need to go to rehab.
And her rehab consisted of taking Ozempic.
Oh no!
But look at this, Kohab's addiction caused her to stop menstruating and put her at risk for diabetes.
Ladies, you ever like cheese so much you stop menstruating?
Hey, so are you taking any type of birth control?
I'm eating a fuck ton of cheese.
Is actually what I'm doing.
It's a holistic approach to birth control.
I went to the Planned Parenthood and I said, "Cheese, please!" Oh, what a good bit.
And it's so funny.
Let me like skip forward.
Did she get stinky?
Well, somebody like verifies her cheese addiction.
Dr. Neil Bernard of The Cheese Trap, an adjunct professor of medicine at George Washington University School of Medicine, explained people like Kohab become addicted to cheese due to the high concentration of fat and salt in the food, along with a protein known as casein that can get people mildly hooked.
You just gotta say it's good, man.
Like, we know all that other stuff.
That's why it's fucking good.
Like, it kind of rocks, and you want to eat it a bunch.
Isn't casein, isn't that what vegans use for cheese?
Uh, yeah, that's like, it's like a... I don't know, but yeah, I've seen it.
Or maybe that's the milk protein that vegans have to avoid.
I don't think I eat casein.
I know that word for some reason, and I'm almost positive I only know it because I grew up around you vegan guys.
But I don't know which way.
I don't know if it's vegan or not vegan.
I don't think it's vegan.
It's not vegan.
Got it.
That makes more sense.
Cheese contains opiate chemicals that attach to the brain receptor.
I'm picturing, yeah, just a strung out Steve Urkel, you know, like just fucking slouching, standing up with a half-eaten brick of parmesan in his hand.
Just like almost falling down, but like waking up enough to take another bite.
I can't wait to see somebody like earnestly pitch this at like a harm reduction meeting.
Have we considered offering them really good cheese instead of heroin?
It has similar properties.
Uh... Kohab said her addiction stemmed from stress.
She was the president of a Zionist student group called Realize Israel.
Realize Israel Realize.
At odds with other student activists and professors calling on the university to sever ties with Israel.
The dairy diet quickly wrecked Kohab's health.
Her weight skyrocketed to a peak of 172 pounds.
She also stopped menstruating for five months during... I know, like, I know diet and other environmental factors can affect women's periods and it's not, it's not funny.
When that happens to you, the listener.
It's very funny when it happens to a guy and it's for eating too much cheese.
It will always be funny if it's because of cheese.
Yeah.
And I like how they are like saying it's because of the cheese, even though they said she's super stressed, you know?
I hope they at least go on to be like... She actually looked great with the cheese glow.
I like 172 pound her a lot more.
She looks fantastic.
Uh, no.
In fact, her mom said, You're not well.
You're not okay.
Dot, dot, dot, dot.
You need to go away for a while.
She said of the family intervention, We're sick of looking at ya!
Wow.
Wow.
That's brutal.
You're gross.
Get out of here.
That's brutal.
Your cheese sweats.
Isn't that like a thing that happens in college anyways?
Don't you just gain weight in college anyways?
Yeah.
I mean, it's usually, yeah, for poor dietary decisions, they're usually not this extreme.
Not eating just a bunch of expensive stinky cheeses?
Attending a two-week wellness retreat at Hilton Head Health in South Carolina, which costs at minimum $5,820 a week, helped the Asiago addict gain control over her eating disorder.
Um, her weight has since dropped to a string cheese slim 123 pounds.
Shut up!
Just, that's nuts.
That is wild phrasing.
Oh my god.
The fat phobia in America is just outrageous.
That's amazing.
What a great joke.
A string cheese.
Just for the record, Alexander was not having fun there.
He was reading the words on the screen.
Her weight since dropped to a string cheese slim, 123 pounds.
I got an easy fuckin' fix for this.
Uh, the easy fix is you say, uh, she dropped to a shredded 123 pounds.
Well, I mean, I'm looking at her picture.
She's not shredded.
Okay, but... She lost some weight, but she's not shredded.
I don't know, better than being like... I don't think she's hitting the gym.
I don't think she's hitting the gym, is all.
Or like, thankfully now, she's skinny as a toothpick.
Toothpick you would find in a piece of cheese at a fancy party.
Although, I do want you to take one second and just picture 123-pound string cheese.
Mmm.
Yum.
It's oily, huh?
Yum.
And in part aided by Ozempic.
Prescribed to deal with her... I'm not going to make fun of Ozempic or whatever, but it's very funny to pay $5,000 a week to take an Epic prescription.
Yeah.
And then right here, here's the banger.
Still, Kohab, who settled an anti-Semitism lawsuit she brought against NYU in 2019 and is set to graduate from the Cardozo School of Law in June, hasn't sworn off cheese completely.
More on that anti-Semitism lawsuit That's where she started buying all the cheese from?
That's how she got the money to buy the nice cheese?
$10,000 a week.
Wow.
Oh, she won a fucking anti-demonism lawsuit against her school.
That's crazy.
That's where she started buying all the cheese from?
That's how she got the money to buy the nice cheese?
Because remember, she started with cheap cheese.
Right.
Oh wow.
I think these are like two concurrent events.
So I don't know if she got paid out while she was, what do you, like rage eating cheese.
It's just like when athletes get too much money at once and they don't know what to do with it and they just go crazy.
She just got too much money one time, had no guidance, and just bought a bunch of cheese and ruined her whole life.
She fucking colonized the fancy cheese department at the grocery store.
And during a visit to the Ideal Cheese Shop in Midtown East, she smiled while eating on samples of Gruyere and Prairie Breeze cheddar with crackers.
Oh, so they like went with her to the cheese store to take those photos of her smiling next to the object of her misery.
She says, I dabble, but not in the way that I used to before, she said, adding the recent waves of anti-Israel encampments at Columbia and other universities prompted brief relapses.
When I'm really stressed, I'll have a block of cheese, but it doesn't happen that often.
So keep it going, students.
If you keep protesting, we might be able to eliminate her period altogether.
I think we gotta start sabotaging her.
We gotta start leaving high-quality cheeses around like a human-sized rat trap.
So if you click on the link where it says that she successfully sued NYU, she won an anti-Semitism lawsuit.
If you click on this link, it just takes you to what looks like an article, because there's a headline that says, NYU settles anti-Semitism complaint brought by student.
So let's just scroll down here to look at the article.
Okay, there's like a photo of her crossing her arms, defiantly standing against anti-Semitism.
Superimposed next to the NYU flag.
Okay, so let's scroll down to the story.
Okay, just another photo here of another of her crossing her arms on the street in front of NYU.
Okay, waiting for the story.
Different photo.
Okay, different photo.
Okay, different graduation photo.
And then a photo of NYU and that's it.
Filed on antisemitism.
Colleges and universities.
Discrimination.
So that's the story.
The story is a very pretty girl successfully sued NYU for antisemitism.
And look at how pretty she is.
I think she did a great job.
No, you have to go to... Yeah, they say what happened to her.
Like, what is she claiming happened to her?
Yeah, I had to go to a totally different website to actually read a story about this.
This is InsideHigherEd.com.
I don't really know the reputation of this website, but the reporting seemed to be fairly thorough.
It's a fairly long article filled with actual information.
This is by Carrie Murakami.
New York University agreed to take a number of actions to settle the first civil rights probe under Trump's anti-Semitism executive order.
But some see risk to free expression on campus.
So this is from 2020.
This broad used Trump's Executive order against anti-semitism to sue her NYU, to sue the fucking school.
In what's believed to be the first case that's come up since President Donald Trump's executive order last year aimed at addressing anti-semitism on campus, the Education Department and New York University have settled a complaint that alleged NYU hasn't done enough to prevent, quote, a hostile environment for Jews on the campus.
There it is.
There.
Okay, I was waiting for it.
Which... is crazy.
no wrongdoing and the education department's decision to take on the case was praised by some for recognizing what some believe to be a contemporary form of anti-semitism in which criticism of israel goes beyond opposing its policies to opposing its very existence there okay i was waiting for it they also call her a jewish mexican nyu grad it graduate which is crazy she just looks like a brunette
you know i mean i can i can say this because i have mexican friends Okay.
Uh, she, she looks white.
Yeah.
She looks very white.
And like, I mean, maybe she is Mexican, but, um, I, I don't think that that was part, I don't know.
Where's she supposed to feel safe?
Where's this New York in New York, Israeli, Mexican supposed to feel safe.
If she can't feel safe in Israel, Tony.
Imagine having two articles written about you.
You're Google-able for two reasons, eating too much cheese and winning an anti-Semitism case against NYU for letting people protest for Palestine.
Yeah, this is because they've adopted a definition of anti-Semitism that includes claiming the existence of Israel is a racist endeavor.
Yeah, the 829 complaint by Adela Kohab, then a NYU senior, alleged that she suffered, quote, two years of extreme anti-Semitism on the NYU campus, which created an intolerable and unlawful hostile atmosphere for Jewish students.
The complaint centers around the university's handling of the campus chapter of a group called Students for Justice in Palestine.
The group's chapters have hosted controversial events and programs such as those marking Israel Apartheid Week, and they have been heavily involved in the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement against Israel.
The Anti-Defamation League, a pro-Israel group that opposes anti-Semitism, states in a profile of SJP on its website that chapters of the group, quote, disseminate anti-Israel propaganda often laced with inflammatory and, at times, combative rhetoric.
No, not combative rhetoric!
No, not that.
That's the most anti-Semitic thing you can do is be combative.
We all know Jewish people hate combative rhetoric.
Don't do it.
Sorry, excuse me.
And that they quote, regularly demonize Jewish students who identify as Zionists or proud supporters of the State of Israel.
Are this, regularly demonized Jewish students who identify as Zionists or proud supporters of the State of Israel.
Oh, okay.
What was that second part again?
What was the whole point to what you said?
And I do like the way it's phrased as well, who identify as Zionists.
Like, you're actually doing transphobia if you don't believe in the State of Israel.
Didn't we see that?
Haven't we seen that?
You're misgendering Israel by calling her Palestine?
Oh no!
Oh no, I'm sure I have.
I'm sure it's out there, but that's terrible.
I hate it.
Yeah, you're actually dead naming Israel.
Gross.
You say free Palestine.
I hate that.
I hate that so much.
Hey listen, Israel, if your so-called family doesn't want you, I will be your mother.
I'll be mother now.
Israel, I'm your mother now.
Yeah, good stuff.
Okay, well, good job for Students for Justice for Palestine.
I appreciate all the work you've done in making this, I don't know, annoying this woman.
It sucks that she did get a payout from NYU, so that's awful.
I would maybe consider not going to NYU anymore, given that.
But yeah, very, very funny when keeping it cheesy goes wrong.
Right?
Be careful out there, but you know, watch your cheese intake, folks.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's the episode.
Anything else to add, Tony?
No, no.
Like I said, just be safe out there.
Be safe.
That's the most important.
This is what happens when you eat the white man's poison known as dairy.
I want you to know that.
Um, think about that next time you're going in to have a little dairy and, uh, you know, just picture that it's just, it's going to, it's going to fuck you up because you're, you're, you're taking life from something in a way, you know, don't forget that.
