| Ladies and gentlemen of the interwebs, just when you thought the world couldn't get any crazier, you come across a story that makes you question your own sanity. | |
| I present to you a man literally getting sued for a joke, and you won't believe the fact pattern behind it all. | |
| Behold? | |
| What is this? | |
| What is this then? | |
| Service. | |
| Oh, shit, I just got served. | |
| Oh, shit. | |
| Oh, my God. | |
| For those who are wondering what this is for, I did a joke about the Lion King. | |
| I don't know, you saw it? | |
| That was me, yeah. | |
| I'm going to pause it here for one second. | |
| This came from an account, Dom Luker, breaker of narratives, on Twitter, at D-O-M-underscore L-U-C-R-E. | |
| An account worth following, but it comes with a caveat. | |
| Every now and again, none of us are perfect, but some of us make more mistakes than others. | |
| Every now and again, that which comes out of the account of Dom Luker is sometimes mildly inaccurate. | |
| I was skeptical of this story, and it now has been community noted with a, what I would call an immaterial community note. | |
| Dom Luker writes, breaking comedian Learnmore Jonasi, the guy's name, I don't know if it's Learnmore as in his birth name. | |
| Learn more Jonasi, who was got served with a $27 million lawsuit from Disney right on stage because of his viral Lion King joke. | |
| I had to look it up. | |
| It's not a lawsuit from Disney. | |
| It's from the composer of the song, Mayena Warashada from the Lion King. | |
| We'll get there in a second. | |
| So, okay, fine. | |
| Clarification, but close enough to the truth. | |
| Listen to what the joke was before we dive into this even further. | |
| There's a lion. | |
| Flashback. | |
| You were way off. | |
| All right. | |
| All right. | |
| You said it. | |
| You should do that when I'm doing it in front of white people. | |
| Oh, my God. | |
| Oh, my God. | |
| Can you do that? | |
| Do that one more time. | |
| Do that again. | |
| What does it mean? | |
| It means, look, there's a lion. | |
| Oh, my God. | |
| First of all, okay, we're going to bring this out for a second. | |
| I make that joke every single morning when I come down the stairs with Winston, the blind Westie. | |
| He sleeps in our bed. | |
| And every time I bring him downstairs and I hold him up to the whoever's up by that point, I go, Maya, Nana. | |
| He made the joke that the lyrics at that point in the movie are, in fact, nothing more than them saying, look, there's a lion as to how absurd it is. | |
| And everybody thinks it's something much more spiritually important. | |
| You're joking. | |
| That is not what that means. | |
| That is not what that means. | |
| That's exactly what it means. | |
| It means, look, there's a lion. | |
| Oh, my God. | |
| Look, there's a lion. | |
| So apparently, the composer didn't like the joke or disagrees with it to the extent that it's a statement of fact. | |
| Has everybody heard this yet? | |
| It's late breaking news. | |
| This is one of the benefits of having the three o'clock time slot on Rumble. | |
| Like, share, subscribe. | |
| Apparently, the composer disagrees with the interpretation of the lyrics as a matter of fact, and it led to something of an online beef that has culminated in a $27 million lawsuit. | |
| I thought it was a joke, and I still think it is a joke. | |
| And I will preface all of this with a caveat. | |
| My opinion right now is based on all facts reported, with the caveat that I have not yet gotten my hands on the lawsuit itself. | |
| And so, what I'm reading are the summaries and quote references to the lawsuit, but I have not yet, as of now, been able to pull up the actual lawsuit. | |
| Maybe it'll change when I read 19 pages of pure drivel as to how this is a $27 million harm to the composer. | |
| Because if it's not true, it's reputationally damaging. | |
| First of all, I never even knew the words meant anything. | |
| I thought it was, I don't want to say gibberish because that might be disrespectful to foreign languages. | |
| I did not know it ever meant anything. | |
| Let's get to the lawsuit. | |
| Lebo M, who's the composer, sues comedian Learnmore Janasi, claiming Circle of Life misrepresentation. | |
| The Grammy winner seeks more than $20 million in damages over mistranslation of the Lion King chant. | |
| Lubohang Libo M. Morake, who wrote and performed the chant at the beginning of the Lion King Circle at the Jonathan Premiere in 2007, photograph. | |
| Dennis, whatever. | |
| You can also tell who they're going to be sympathetic to by virtue of the fact that they're taking a photograph that's now 16 years old. | |
| Let's hear this. | |
| And by the way, pride goeth before the fall, pun intended, because we're talking about lions here. | |
| This might be one of those circumstances where you get to a certain position in life. | |
| And I say this with full introspection, because I'm not there yet. | |
| I'm not sure that I'll ever get there. | |
| You get to a certain point in life when you take yourself just a little too seriously, where you take your craft just a little too seriously, and you sit there and you say, How dare they mock me? | |
| I will have none of it. | |
| That's not a joke. | |
| That's my life work. | |
| And I will not take kindly to people making a joke to the extent it's a joke or disagreeing with the interpretation of the lyrics because that man must have spent a lot of time picking those words. | |
| A Grammy-winning South African composer who wrote and performed the opening chant in the Circle of Life for Disney's Lion King is suing a comedian for allegedly damaging his reputation by intentionally misrepresenting the song's meaning on a podcast and in his stand-up routine. | |
| Lebohang Morake's lawsuit accuses the Zimbabwean comedian. | |
| Oh, I think I said he was South African. | |
| Zimbabwean comedian, LearnMore. | |
| I'm not going to try it. | |
| Muanyen Yeka, known as Learnmore Jonasi, of intentionally mistranslating the chant, which launches the 1994 movie, Yada Yada Yada Yada. | |
| The dispute, which has gone viral as the two men challenge each other on social media, stems from statements Janasi made in his stand-up routines and in a podcast interview when he translated the lyrics from Zulu to Zosa, two of South Africa's 12 national languages. | |
| We're going to do something really funny in real time here. | |
| The lawsuit was filed this month in federal court Los Angeles, where Merake, who performs as Libo M, lives and where Janasi performed. | |
| It accuses Janasi of intentionally mocking, quote, the chant's cultural significance with exaggerated imitations. | |
| First of all, mocking is not illegal. | |
| Mocking is not defamatory. | |
| In fact, mocking, to the extent that that's the allegation, is specifically protected. | |
| Disney's official translation of the opening phrase, I didn't even realize, nanse is all hail the king. | |
| We all bow in the presence of the king. | |
| Hey, Bobo Zinga, the chant continues. | |
| It translates to through you we will emerge victoriously, according to Merake. | |
| The lawsuit cites an episode of a podcast 154 whose Nigerian hosts sing the chant. | |
| This is how you sing it, don't make it up. | |
| He then sings the correct lyrics in Zulu. | |
| When asked, he says they translate to, look, there's a lion. | |
| Oh my God. | |
| The host burst out laughing, saying the chant was something more beautiful and majestic. | |
| Circle of life, which was written by Elton John, yada yada yada. | |
| The lions had an American accent in Africa, and yet you had the monkey with an accent, Jonasi said. | |
| Didn't realize that, but that's kind of funny. | |
| Merake's lawyer acknowledged in the complaint that ingoyama can literally translate to lion, but say it's used in the song as a royal metaphor, adding that Jonasi had intentionally misrepresented an African vocal proclamation grounded in South African tradition. | |
| Can you imagine this? | |
| First of all, lawyers, let me just break out of here for one second. | |
| For those of you who don't know, I practiced. | |
| I'm not a crazy person. | |
| Let me rephrase, I wasn't always a crazy person, or maybe I was. | |
| And that's why I didn't fit the mold of the typical lawyer. | |
| I practiced for 13 years. | |
| Lawyers will fight to your last dollar. | |
| It's a classic expression of the practice. | |
| Much like politicians will fight to your last son and daughter, lawyers will fight to your last dollar. | |
| The lawyers are making such stupid statements here that I hope they got paid up front and that they're not working on contingency because they're going to get their asses handed to them, probably with costs, by making statements. | |
| Yeah, sure, they acknowledge in the complaint that ingonyama can literally translate to lion, but say it's used in the song as a royal metaphor. | |
| Okay, so it's substantially true and yet defamatory. | |
| The lawsuit says Jonassi, quote, received a standing ovation for a similar joke he made about the song during a 12 March performance in Los Angeles. | |
| Such viral statements, it says, are interfering with Meraki's business relationships with Disney and his income from royalties, causing more than US $20 million in damages. | |
| The lawsuit's also seeking $7 million in punitive damages. | |
| Disney didn't respond to the email requests. | |
| Who cares? | |
| I mean, they're going to waste their time on this crap. | |
| My goodness, you know what's going to do the damage to the reputation? | |
| Loby M, what's his name again? | |
| The composer suing and dragging Disney into this is probably going to cause more reputational harm than the joke itself. | |
| This is going to be like the Lion King Streisand effect of the 2026 year. | |
| LeBohon M. | |
| We're going to leave Lebo M. | |
| We're going to come back to that in a second. | |
| Disney didn't respond. | |
| The complaint argues that Johansi presented his translation as authoritative fact, not comedy, or as you've already admitted, you dumb bums, or as a possible alternative interpretation that is itself somewhat based in linguistics. | |
| It shouldn't get First Amendment protections afforded to parody and satire that make fun of other artistic works. | |
| Good luck with this lawsuit, Libo M. | |
| Jonassi doesn't have an attorney publicly listed for the case, and the representative didn't respond to an email. | |
| Yada yada yada. | |
| He said he was a quote, big fan of Meraki's work and loves the song. | |
| When he learned that Meraki was upset, he said he wanted to create a video with the composer explaining the chant's deeper meaning. | |
| Quote, comedy always has a way of starting conversation. | |
| Jonassi said in a video he posted on Instagram, which got more than 100,000 likes. | |
| This is your chance to actually educate people because now people are listening. | |
| But Johannesi said he changed his mind about collaborating with Meraki when he said the composer called him, quote, self-hating, end quote, as they exchanged messages. | |
| He said Meraki's reactions ignored the rest of his work, delving into a more nuanced critique of U.S. renderings of African identity. | |
| Here's what we're going to do. | |
| Let me do one thing here. | |
| This is going to be done in real time. | |
| It's a sponsor of the show, but not today's show. | |
| We're going to do Venice.ai. | |
| I don't know what the answer is going to be, but we're going to see what this translates into. | |
| Please translate into, can I type into English? | |
| Let's see what it says. | |
| Oh, it's going to be so funny if this comes out and says, look, it's a lion. | |
| My God. | |
| Here comes a lion, father. | |
| Good luck with that lawsuit, sir. | |
| The full lion is calling and announcing. | |
| Yeah, we know that. | |
| Here comes a lion, father. | |
| Can you imagine? | |
| Arrogance, haughtiness, pettiness, pride. | |
| Pride goeth before the fall. | |
| Don't take yourself too seriously. | |
| So, all you of you know, what's the basis of this intentional infliction of emotional distress? | |
| Interference with third-party relations, tortious interference. | |
| I don't know if these are the claims. | |
| We've seen the allegations. | |
| For it to be tortious interference, which is the act of tortiously interfering with third-party contracts that you're not a party to, it has to be based on a lie. | |
| It has to be based on something that actually is a tort. | |
| Otherwise, it's not tortious interference. | |
| It might be lawful interference or no interference at all. | |
| Defamation, it would have to be wrong on its face. | |
| This lawsuit's getting tossed. | |
| Predicted now, if I get the lawsuit and read some massively shocking allegations of fact and law that I was unaware of that alter my initial interpretation of the bogusness of this lawsuit, | |
| we shall come back to it. | |
| But before, let's just play this out. | |
| Oh my God. | |
| It's a liar. | |
| It's a lion. | |
| They got good laughs this whole time. | |
| I thought it was like this. | |
| Beautiful, majestic. | |
| Okay. | |
| There's a liar. | |
| It's a liar. | |
| I'm paying for that shit now. | |
| This is a shit. | |
| The only thing I'm wondering is whether or not he was actually served or if it was part of a shtick. | |
| He does seem like he was sincerely surprised and a little bit nervous. | |
| And that reaction of laughing was a little bit of laughing off something. | |
| But I wonder if that was part of the shtick that he didn't actually get served then and there. | |
| I presume you're allowed serving someone on stage. | |
| No reason why you wouldn't be able to. | |
| It's hilarious. | |
| It's going nowhere. | |
| It's getting tossed. | |
| And the man who filed this bogus lawsuit should be ashamed of himself for taking himself too seriously. | |
| And that's that. | |
| Ladies and gentlemen, of the interwebs, how goes the battle? | |
| It is Friday, TGI Friday, some might even say. | |
| Oh, by the way, thank you, F. Shao Tong, who sent me this story because I wasn't aware of it. | |
| And my goodness, is it nice to take a break from politics, from war, from the we're going to come back to it. | |
| Don't worry about it. | |
| We are live. | |
| It's three o'clock, or it was three o'clock when we went live. | |
| It was actually 3.01. | |
| Miss Suzy. | |
| My kid made some homemade pasta for lunch, pasta pasta, and it was flipping delicious, like literally made from the flour, eggs that they just got from the farm with his friend. | |
| I'll show everybody a picture at the locals after party. | |
| And it was flipping delicious. | |
| Served in front of many witnesses, Sephardine Squibb. | |
| We are live daily during the Rumble lineup. | |
| The Sunday show, 6 o'clock, Viva and Barnes Law for the People. | |
| Best law-based show on the interwebs. | |
| And that's it. | |
| Welcome. | |
| I wanted to. | |
| I'm so stupid. | |
| Yesterday, Mark Grobert, if you don't know him, Lord Buckley, he's got a show with a guy named Eric Hundley. | |
| America's Untold Stories, great stuff. | |
| We have a, it's not even a side hustle. | |
| We just, you know, want our distraction from the endless toxicity of politics. | |
| And on CommiTube, although we're setting one up on Rumble as well so that we can simultaneously stream on Rumble, we do weekly a review of a movie. | |
| If you haven't seen it, yesterday, we did the French Connection. | |
| And if you haven't seen The French Connection, you must. | |
| This is too language, I guess, of some of the. | |
| Well, he, Fernando Reyes. | |
| Oh, check it out. | |
| I forgot to mention everybody so you can come watch it yesterday. | |
| The The French Connection was a great movie in our we go like deep dives into the movie, the making of, and the now totally amazing chase scene, which will never be able to be replicated because, as you will learn if you watch that episode, | |
| it was done without permitting in New York in 19, I think it was 71. | |
| And they actually hit a vehicle that was not involved in the production because they didn't get permits to do the car chase. | |
| They actually struck, I think they struck a pedestrian, or when they pulled out guns as they were running up into the subway, a pedestrian thought it was an actual gun and an actual robbery ensued for distress and they settled out of court. | |
| Check it out. | |
| It's amazing. | |
| And as F. Charton says, Mark is a Hollywood library. | |
| So check it out. | |
| Show some love and get a well-deserved distraction from the toxicity of politics. | |
| And here we are. | |
| So that was one story of the day. | |
| There's another story which I want, it's interesting to come back to because I often say, like, I hate Twitter, but I use it as a diary of sorts. | |
| And it's funny when I say, like, oh, I remember having tweeted about something that was a story a while back. | |
| And then a story breaks. | |
| Like, yeah, I think I remember tweeting about that. | |
| And then I go back because Grok is reasonably good for pulling up links to tweets at the time. | |
| There was a story that went viral back in the day of a woman, although some people are going to say not a woman because of chromosomes, which is a pretty decent way of determining what is a woman, | |
| although not necessarily always visually identifiable. | |
| Do you remember Iman Khalif, who was the boxer in 2024, who was apparently disqualified from a boxing match, | |
| or she was disqualified from a tournament in 2023 because of determinations of ambiguity or XY chromosomes, and competed in the Olympics and beat this Italian boxer. | |
| And then the Italian boxer stormed off after getting beaten and claimed it was unfair. | |
| And then there was a big dispute at the time and a representation of this being a manifestation of transgender ideology trumping women's rights in sports. | |
| Iman Khalif trained hard despite Olympics transgender athletes ban, stirring debate around eligibility and fairness. | |
| This was, this is now. | |
| I wanted to find something from the time. | |
| At the time, people were saying, this is unfair. | |
| This is men in women's sports. | |
| It's disgusting. | |
| Khalif should be ashamed of himself, herself, whatever you want to call it. | |
| There were threats of lawsuit. | |
| I think Khalif filed a complaint in France, criminal harassment, something along those lines. | |
| And I got the update of the, well, there was an update posted today by J.K. Rowling. | |
| And J.K. Rowling posted news of the day, which is rulings coming out of the IOC, the International Olympics Committee, about boxing. | |
| And J.K. Rowling said, today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls. | |
| But I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024 when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women with a picture of Iman Khalif. | |
| Now, to go back to that scandal at the time, at the time, the story broke and it was, because politics is what it is, it ruins everything, it infiltrates everything, and it sets off the foregone conclusion that this is another case of another man who decided some points after puberty that he identified as a woman and that out of tolerance, | |
| it means tolerating that man in women's sports. | |
| At the time, I was not expressing skepticism, but just saying, can we get clear on the facts? | |
| And it was in a thread. | |
| I don't remember who this is. | |
| I'm not trying to put them on blast. | |
| End wokeness at the time said an absolute travesty at the Olympics. | |
| Angelina Carini is forced to box against a biological male. | |
| She quits after just 45 seconds and cries hysterically as her opponent is declared the winner. | |
| Don't look away. | |
| This is wokeness. | |
| Then one of the questions was, am I wrong, or is it not the case that if you do about 30 seconds of research, you learn that this is a biological woman who has been a woman her whole life. | |
| At the time, my question was, we need to get clear on the facts. | |
| My understanding was at the time that she was born with female parts. | |
| I don't know, fully internal, externally, superficially female parts, but in fact, is what they, you know, one of those rare anomalies, anomalies of a medical case where she had XY chromosomes. | |
| I think they call it intersex or some developmental sexual disorder. | |
| I said, I think you're wrong. | |
| It's been confirmed Khalif has XY chromosomes from the Olympic Committee's own statements. | |
| They're relying on a passport to determine gender, and they continually refer to gender instead of sex. | |
| If it turns out Khalif's issue is medical and not self-identification, you still have a problem in terms of fairness. | |
| It would just then be a medical issue of fairness, not a political one. | |
| And another one from the time, to make sure we understood the facts at the time, was this. | |
| Try to understand the facts. | |
| The XY chromosome boxer at the Olympics who has been in the news, Iman Khalif, do we know if this person is transgender through self-identification, gender dysphoria, or the case of someone born with female genitals, but XY chromosomes? | |
| Is it potential corruption of a country possibly cheating to win a medal? | |
| This would not change anything as relates to fairness or unfairness of the other women, but it would certainly impact the line of critique. | |
| Anyone know? | |
| It turns out, as far as I understand now, Iman Khalif is in fact XY chromosome with female parts, although people are sharing some sort of, I would say, | |
| a doctored photograph that makes it look like Iman has a penis when I believe that Khalif was born with superficial vagina parts, but in fact XY chromosomes because it is one of those rare cases of the intersex disorder. | |
| Now back to the article. | |
| There's been a transgender ban. | |
| The Olympic committee has determined that biological males, or I presume it's going to be XY chromosomes, are not going to be able to compete in boxing. | |
| And it makes total sense, transgenderism or intersex disorder aside, but it changes the nature of the debate. | |
| Iman Khalif is not slowing down. | |
| Just after new Olympic rules around transgender and DSD, that's developmental sexual disorder athletes, came into focus. | |
| She posted a strong training video on Instagram. | |
| The message was simple. | |
| She is still chasing her Olympic dream and is not stepping away from the sport. | |
| The Algerian boxer who won gold in Paris in 2024 is now looking ahead to the Los Angeles Olympics at 2028. | |
| This comes at a time when the International Olympic Committee has tightened rules for athletes competing in women's events. | |
| The new rule says athletes may have to go through sex testing, and those with DSD must show they do not have an advantage from higher testosterone levels. | |
| That's the news of the day in terms of that. | |
| Let me get to the actual IOC ruling because I'm a second, getting distracted here. | |
| Hold on. | |
| Back it up and let's just get the IOC. | |
| Here we go. | |
| From the Daily Mail. | |
| And then people are going to, okay, we'll get to this here. | |
| Boom. | |
| I love how Iman's face is on all of this. | |
| Olympics ban transgender athletes from all women's sports because you have to understand transgender is different than DSD. | |
| And then the question is going to be, ban transgender. | |
| You actually, if you don't account for the medical issue, the medical anomalies, you might leave that door open. | |
| Let's hear it. | |
| Olympics chiefs have blocked transgender athletes from all women's sports after announcing mandatory sex testing under new rules. | |
| Now, for those of you who don't know, my brother is a lawyer as well. | |
| He's actually got a pretty decent YouTube channel. | |
| Not a YouTube channel. | |
| Twitter handle. | |
| And we're going to get into the whether or not it's a violation of rights to demand, insist on sex testing in order to participate. | |
| We'll get there in a bit. | |
| The International Olympic Committee says that a once-in-a-lifetime SRY gene test will help protect fairness, safety, and integrity in the female category. | |
| It slams the door firmly shut on transgender athletes, such as Laura Hubbard, who is retired anyway, and forces those with a disorder of sex development to prove that they do, that they, quote, | |
| do not benefit from the anabolic and or performance-enhancing effects of testosterone. | |
| I don't know how that's going to be possible. | |
| I presume there's going to be levels of testosterone, but I would imagine it's almost medically definitional that if you have DSD as a woman, you necessarily benefit from anabolic or performance-enhancing effects of testosterone because you have it. | |
| Whereas a biological female who does not suffer from DSD doesn't. | |
| The IOC's move comes after World Athletics made it compulsory for female athletes to take a test to compete in major championships or Diamond League events last year. | |
| That decision followed high-profile controversies, including boxers involving the boxers Iman Khalif and Lin Yu Ting in the past 2024 Olympics after claims they had failed gender eligibility tests with the International Boxing Association. | |
| You remember it at the time, by the way, in order to write off the results from the IBA, people were claiming it's some sort of Russian-tied agency. | |
| So we can disregard the IBA's testing and that she's a woman if she's got a vagina, if she's got a vagina, or at least an outward appearing vagina, despite not having, I presume, internal female organs. | |
| And even if she, in fact, has XY chromosomes. | |
| Khalif won gold, multi-way boxing, has consistently denied being transgender. | |
| Well, she's not, and taken treatment to lower testosterone levels. | |
| So she's got, she, he, whatever you want to call Khalif, has got enhanced testosterone because of DSD to the extent that that's what she had. | |
| Although people at the time who want to either justify going after it as a transgender issue or want to defend her against the attack, disregard the results that she, in fact, has XY chromosomes and thus higher levels of testosterone. | |
| Transgender athletes are now blocked. | |
| Who was this one? | |
| Oh, Laura Hubbard. | |
| This was the funniest one ever. | |
| The weightlifter who was transgender came in, this was up in Canada, beat all the records, and then complained when a guy, another guy, comes in and claims to be transgender and beat his record, his being the so-called trans athlete. | |
| And then the so-called trans man then claims it's unfair because the other guy is not really transgender. | |
| He's just pretending to be. | |
| And everybody, ridiculous. | |
| The Algerian is also open to taking a sex test to compete, saying last month, of course, I would accept doing anything I'm required to do to participate in competitions. | |
| They should protect women, but they need to pay attention that while protecting women, they shouldn't hurt other women. | |
| That's going to be the operative word in terms of how you define things in the presence of this anomaly. | |
| IOC president Kirsty Coventry said, as a former athlete, I passionately believe in all the rights of all Olympians to take part in fair competition. | |
| Policy that we have as announced is based on science and has been led by medical experts. | |
| It's a flipping no-brainer. | |
| And the only thing that complicates the discussion is people making misstatements as relates to Iman Khalif in particular. | |
| If he, she, Khalif, I don't know, you'd look at the person, if you see them naked, you'd say, oh, they're female, but then if I have to go do a chromosome test to determine if they're not, then you're going to call Iman a he. | |
| Something seems more spiteful than anything else, but whatever. | |
| At the Olympics games, even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat. | |
| So it's obviously clear that it would not be fair for biological males to compete in the female category. | |
| In addition, in some sports, it would simply not be safe. | |
| Every athlete must be treated with dignity, respect, blah, World athletics spokesman said, we have led the way in protecting women's sports over the last decade. | |
| Attracting and retaining more girls and women into sports requires a fair and level playing field where there is no biological glass ceiling. | |
| This means that gender cannot trump biology. | |
| A consistent approach. | |
| It's all sports is good. | |
| So it's, we go on. | |
| Khalif and Lynn face doubts over their gender eligibility for the games after allegedly failing the International Boxing Association sex test in 2023 and being thrown out of the world championships. | |
| The IBA was discredited by the IOC. | |
| Do the tests again. | |
| Hubbard is a different case entirely. | |
| The 48-year-old weightlifter is openly transgender. | |
| The 48-year-old man is openly claiming to be a woman, competed in Tokyo Olympics. | |
| Hubbard was born in 1978, given the name Gavin. | |
| Sorry. | |
| He was born in 78 and his birth name is Gavin. | |
| Like, what is this? | |
| What is this Orwellian speak? | |
| The New Zealander transitioned in 25, in 2012, at the age of 35, and went on to win the world champion. | |
| Cheater, a cheater? | |
| Period. | |
| You want to be transgender? | |
| That's fine. | |
| You're going to transition at 35 years old after you've gone through all of the biological advantages of being a male. | |
| You remember when I think it was Hirono during one of the congressional or the Senate hearings, oversight committee hearings, saying, How dare the FBI make women take the same test as men? | |
| Men have an unfair advantage. | |
| Oh, idiots. | |
| More than 80 human rights and sports advocacy groups recently called on the IOC to abandon their plans for mandatory sex testing because their calls have been snubbed. | |
| They should be snubbed. | |
| Their calls to ban sex testing should be snubbed and derided. | |
| The sex tests cost around 185 euros, or is that pounds? | |
| Whatever that is. | |
| It is not yet clear if athletes who are often on a financial tightrope will be required to pay for the test themselves. | |
| I think the IOC could probably cover that one for themselves. | |
| Last year, former British middle distance runner Lindsay Sharp said she would have won bronze in the 2016 Real Olympics if gender testing rules had been in place. | |
| Oh, you mean a woman, a man stole a woman's position on the podium? | |
| Yeah. | |
| She finished sixth behind three athletes with DSD. | |
| That's the complicated one. | |
| Sometimes I look back and think I could have had an Olympic medal, but I gave it my all that day. | |
| Castor said, okay, so I think we got the gist of this. | |
| The argument is going to be pretty much the same argument that some of us raised for mandatory testing during COVID. | |
| The Quarantine Act specifically provided, at least in Canada, that you can't be forced to take something foreign into your body. | |
| The argument here is going to be that you can't force them to undergo this invasive test, however you determine sex. | |
| As my brother rightly points out, Overon X, in a discussion about the potentiality for requiring them to take the test, says requiring anyone, lion advocacy. | |
| This is actually my blood brother. | |
| This is not someone I call brother. | |
| Requiring anyone to take a genetic test as a condition of entering into a contract with them, which the IOC is now basically doing, is problematic and ill-advised under Canadian law. | |
| Will be interesting to see how it plays out. | |
| I think he went on to realize afterwards that it's contractual. | |
| Competing in Olympic sports does indeed involve a contract. | |
| A link to one such contract is below. | |
| Screenshots of the provisions of the contract could be offside the Genetic Non-Discrimination Act, also below. | |
| In a contract, it's an interesting argument that there's going to be prohibitions on genetic testing versus contractual obligations if you want to compete. | |
| You don't have to do it. | |
| You just can't compete if you don't. | |
| The question would be under that provision of law: does it say that you cannot require anyone contractually to do this for any reason whatsoever? | |
| Bottom line, it's common sense, whether it's transgender ideology, which has no place in women's sports or the medical anomaly of DSD. | |
| There should be no men in women's sports, and there should be no biological XY chromosomes competing against XXs. | |
| And the IOC seems to have finally come to the right decision. | |
| They make you pee in a cup. | |
| I can do that. | |
| They are allowed to set the terms for competing. | |
| Now, that would be my argument as well. | |
| Nobody's forcing you to do it. | |
| But if you want to compete and compete, not the same way as nobody's forcing you to take a COVID test or a COVID shot if you want to keep your job. | |
| That's constructive dismissal. | |
| These are terms set by the organizations. | |
| These are, one would argue, privileges in a sense, not rights. | |
| And if you're going to compete, you have to compete under the terms of the organization that sets the rules for competition. | |
| And that's it. | |
| Oh, people. | |
| So there's that. | |
| Let's see what's going on over on Viva BarnesLaw.locals.com. | |
| We've got the best memes out there for those who don't know, but I need audio on this one. | |
| I know he's going, woo-hoo-wee, but I can't even tell what this is. | |
| That is Barnes, people. | |
| And let's see what's going on in the chat over. | |
| If I can figure this out here, they are allowed to set the, oh, this, we got that already. | |
| Horse crap, they take drug tests, says Susie. | |
| The drug tests are for drugs. | |
| And that's the other issue. | |
| Is they take drug tests. | |
| Oh, in terms of them, you know, accessing their DNA and whatever. | |
| Yeah, I don't think anybody is really making an issue out of this except for the trans, the so-called trans athletes, the men who are men competing in women's sports, and those rare anomalies who have obviously risen to the top. | |
| If you have DSD, developmental sexual disorder, whatever the disorder, you're going to look like a woman on the outside and obviously have biological advantages that are going to, you know, | |
| disproportionately allow for overrepresentation of those with DSD in competitive sports. | |
| Much like, you know, Secretariat was a horse and it had a bigger heart than any horse that came before him, which is why he performed that well. | |
| But you wouldn't say that was an unfair advantage. | |
| That was just a biological anomaly of an advantage. | |
| And when it comes to DSD, it might just be biologically unfair. | |

| Alley Michael says, many countries are going to be under the gun. | |
| Michael Jan, Douglas McGregor, Daniel Davis are sounding the alarm. | |
| That has to do with the stuff that's going on in Iran. | |
| And we have to get back to it, people. | |
| Did you hear that Kash Patel's email has been hacked by Iranian actors and the information has been leaked to the public? | |
| Apparently, however, my sources tell me, I don't have sources, people. | |
| This is all open source information. | |
| Apparently, it's not new. | |
| So the news of the day, and as I'm getting ready for the show, surfing the interwebs and came across a tweet that suggested that Kash Patel had been hacked and that they were posting the contents of his email on the interwebs. | |
| Now, this is coming from International Cyber Digest. | |
| Got tips? | |
| Signal. | |
| Okay. | |
| Breaking FBI Director Kash Patel's Gmail account was hacked by Iranian nation-state hackers. | |
| They have published his entire inbox, including mails on his home in India, private life, personal data, business dealings, and travel history. | |
| Havana, Cuba. | |
| Now, you know, I got to get out of incognito because we can't actually see the thread, which we need to see. | |
| And the only thing that I'm being sensitized to is that this might not be news, in that this might be based on old news. | |
| Just go through this. | |
| I have not been able to vet the specifics of this thread, but you have pictures of Kash Patel in Cuba from what's being said. | |
| I don't know what that watermark is. | |
| You have Kash Patel smoking cigars. | |
| Thus far, nothing that I find particularly offensive, although there is, you know, the politics between Cuba and America. | |
| Cash on the job, okay. | |
| That looks like good rum. | |
| All right. | |
| So cash in Cuba. | |
| It looks very young. | |
| Okay. | |
| And then we've got confirmed by Reuters. | |
| So this is the news. | |
| Now let's go to Reuters because I don't trust anybody on the internet. | |
| And it has been confirmed by, is this Politico? | |
| Is this the old one or the new one? | |
| This one's new. | |
| So this is March 27 today. | |
| FBI confirms hackers targeted Kash Patel's personal emails. | |
| Iran-linked hacking group, Handala, has taken responsibility for the possible breach. | |
| All that I can say right now, we're going to get back to this in a second. | |
| Assume it's true. | |
| Looks like it's true. | |
| They've confirmed it's true. | |
| If the worst they actually got out of his emails is a bunch of pictures of him in Cuba, I don't think it's a mortal sin to go to Cuba. | |
| I appreciate there's an embargo and I don't know what the politics are of going to Cuba. | |
| I've never been and I don't plan on going. | |
| If that's the worst that they got, that he smokes cigars and I don't know he's got property in India. | |
| I mean, I might actually have less suspicions about Kash Patel. | |
| The FBI on Friday confirmed that hackers targeted the personal emails of Director Kash Patel hours after Iranian government-linked hacking group posted documents and images online claiming to have stolen them from Patel. | |
| In the statement, the FBI confirmed the agency was, quote, aware of malicious actors targeting Director Patel's personal email information, and we have taken all necessary steps to mitigate potential risks associated with this activity. | |
| Quote, the information in question is historical in nature and involves no government information, the FBI added. | |
| The statement did not include details on who was behind the attack. | |
| Quote, the FBI will continue to pursue actors responsible, support victims, and share actionable intelligence in defense of networks. | |
| Earlier in the day, Iranian-linked hacking group Handala claimed to have hacked Patel's email and published several pictures of the director, including one showing him brandishing a cigar. | |
| Most emails are dated between 2012 and 2014, though there are at least some from 2022, according to files posted by Handala. | |
| In a post on Thursday, also reviewed by Politico, Handala claimed to have breached an FBI network, but did not provide details on what information may have been accessed. | |
| Handala has recently been linked to a high-profile cyber attack against a U.S. company. | |
| Last week, the DOJ said the group was responsible for a hack of a Michigan-based medical device manufacturer, Stryker, which wiped roughly 200,000 devices and exfiltrated large amounts of data from the company. | |
| They also claimed to have stolen details of other employees from Lockheed Martin. | |
| It's concerning if they have been able to do that. | |
| And also, if they had some good, good, juicy stuff, they presumably wouldn't leak it right away because that would be of no benefit if the purpose is extortion or influence. | |
| You can no longer influence or hold it hostage if you've released it to the public. | |
| The Justice Department has tied Handala hackers to Iran's Ministry of State, offered $10 million bounty. | |
| There are so many ways that you can go with this. | |
| Could be like a double fakey false flag, whatever. | |
| One DOJ granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak, said the material posted about Patel by the group appears credible. | |
| Credible is one thing. | |
| Whether or not it's new is another. | |
| The targeting of Patel's emails indicates that Iranian hackers are likely still seeking to disrupt the U.S. and its allies as the Iran war stretches. | |
| I thought it wasn't a war. | |
| Stretches into the second month. | |
| I thought it was a short war. | |
| I thought it was pinpoint strikes. | |
| Despite efforts to limit these capabilities, the Israeli Defense Forces said earlier this month that they struck Iran's cyber warfare headquarters. | |
| It also marks the second cyber intrusion aimed at the FBI and its leaders in recent weeks. | |
| Earlier this month, senior FBI officials, yada, yada, yada, Congress, the surveillance system used in law enforcement investigations was compromised by unspecified hackers. | |
| Two senior Trump administration officials granted anonymity to discuss, confirmed to Politico that China is suspected to be behind the breach. | |
| But the question is this. | |
| Is the news even new? | |
| This is an article from 2024? | |
| And my question is whether or not this is a rehashing of old information to drive a new current concern. | |
| Updated December 4, 2024. | |
| Reports. | |
| Kash Patel, Trump's pick to lead FBI targeted in Iranian attack. | |
| Oh, crap. | |
| Do we have to go to a. | |
| I'm not going to that. | |
| Let me go see if we can get this in archive. | |
| Archive.ph, bada bing, bada boom. | |
| One more step. | |
| It's going to make me. | |
| Select the images with cars. | |
| This one, this one, that one. | |
| There. | |
| Boom. | |
| Yes. | |
| First try. | |
| And are we going to get there? | |
| Away down. | |
| Done what? | |
| Don't ernier. | |
| Ben ques qui spausiciet. | |
| I'm going to see if I can get it over on regular interwebs. | |
| If it takes too long, on here we go. | |
| Here we go. | |
| Come on. | |
| Give me this. | |
| Is archive down? | |
| It's not even working. | |
| Hmm. | |
| That's interesting. | |
| Archive does not even seem to be working on the non-archived version. | |
| Archive.ph put the link in, Axios. | |
| And you know, the bottom line, it seems that there was a hack that was reported on in 2024. | |
| It might be my internet. | |
| And then the question is going to be: is this rehashing of old news or is this in fact a new breach? | |
| Based on the fact that it doesn't seem that any of the information postdates 2024, one could say this is nothing new. | |
| And then the question is whether or not it's being rehashed for the purposes of stirring up more outrage against Iran to gin up support for the war. | |
| Then you one could go with a double fakey false flag that who might be behind this most recent release of that information if it's not new information. | |
| Yeah, it doesn't seem that archive is working today. | |
| Well, we might not get to find the rest of that article. | |
| Let me see if I can't find it somewhere else here. | |
| 2024 Kash Patel leak email. | |
| That's interesting. | |
| Yeah, it has to. | |
| What? | |
| The reports from back in 2024. | |
| Well, it's not coming up, but you get the idea. | |
| And the question is whether or not Viva's computer froze. | |
| Well, I think it's the archive link that's not, that seems not to be working. | |
| Hmm. | |
| That sucks. | |
| Anyhow, so that's it. | |
| That's the news of the day. | |
| And now the question is: I am wondering if this is a rehashing of old news to gin up more support, create another pretext. | |
| We've been having these inklings, these indications of wanting to gin up public support for a war with Iran for many years now. | |
| And this seems like the same gameplay from 2024 in today's day with nothing new released in those emails. | |
| And I do wonder to the extent that they've released nothing of meaning of importance if there's actually anything compromising in there. | |
| And if not, maybe cash is good. | |
| All right. | |
| Do we do something else yet? | |
| What is the next thing that we want to talk about? | |
| I am going to play one thing here. | |
| And I don't even know if I want to if I want to play it. | |
| I'll decide that in a second. | |
| Right now, I'm just going to play a clip that actually I wanted to play when we were talking about transgender ideology, but it's probably just as good right now. | |
| John Carpe, president of the JCCF, the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms, posted this video, speaking of mentally unwell so-called trans people. | |
| There's a person up in Canada named Jessica Yaniv. | |
| And this person is a man. | |
| Look up Jessica Yaniv. | |
| You're going to find the whole story is a man who is terrorizing female-owned, what's it called when they do things to your body, like not hygiene, but waxing and other stuff, | |
| cosmetic people who do that to women, oftentimes, and more often than not, foreign women, and demanding that they offer waxing service for Yaniv's testicles. | |
| Literally, and I'm not joking. | |
| Rebel News was covering the story at the time. | |
| Yaniv is psychotic, like mentally unwell, almost by definition, harassing these foreigners who were running small businesses, demanding that they wax his balls, literally, | |
| and apparently is up to more no-goodness up in Canada as per the JCCF. | |
| Transgender activist Jessica Simpson, formerly known as Jonathan Yaniv, has filed complaints with the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal against Juno News and the Western Standard over allegedly misgendering, | |
| and also against Dallas Brody, a BC member of the Legislative Assembly, and against Billboard Chris, a longtime advocate for protecting children from transgender ideology. | |
| Six years ago, Jonathan Yaniv filed human rights complaints against women who refused to provide a Brazilian bikini wax on Yaniv's male genitalia. | |
| See, John is too polite. | |
| The women refused to wax his balls because they said we only treat women, not men with penises and balls. | |
| And if you can believe it, Yaniv, he managed to actually score some settlements. | |
| And this had to actually go up the chain in Canada. | |
| I forget if he was actually declared a vexatious litigant, but let's let John finish this up here. | |
| The Justice Center stepped in and we provided legal representation so that lawyers were able to defend these women, many of whom were immigrants and absolutely terrified to get these letters from the BC Human Rights Tribunal telling them that there's legal proceedings taking place against them. | |
| Ultimately, we succeeded in getting that dismissed. | |
| The Justice Center has also funded lawyers for Canada Galaxy pageants when Jessica Simpson applied to enter into a beauty contest. | |
| And ultimately, the Ontario human rights complaint against Canada Galaxy pageants was also dismissed. | |
| Can you imagine? | |
| First of all, we're at one minute and 22 seconds. | |
| We can all agree on a few things. | |
| I'm not sure if I look, not to be superficial. | |
| When you're entering a beauty pageant, you're basing it on beauty. | |
| Even if this person that we're looking at was born a biological female, which he wasn't and never will be. | |
| If assuming he was even born a biological female, you might win the award for most courageous participant in you decided to participate in the beauty pageant looking like this. | |
| But you would never win. | |
| You would never expect to win. | |
| And if you ever did win, it would only be a mercy win and not one based on any form of beauty, physical, because that's what it is. | |
| But he tries to sign up as a man pretending to be a woman to exert the narcissistic control over others. | |
| That is, unfortunately, a lot of this transgender ideology. | |
| Okay, moving on. | |
| It's one thing to say that your religion is the best pathway to God or the only way to heaven. | |
| It's an entirely different thing to demand that other people agree with your claim. | |
| It's wrong to use the law to force other people to say what they don't really agree with. | |
| It's one thing to say, it's one thing for a man to say that he identifies as a woman or for him to dress like a woman or for him to say that he is a woman. | |
| It's an entirely different thing to use the law to force people to express agreement with this claim when in fact the man is not a woman. | |
| The problem with Canada in particular right now is that transgender ideology, transgenderism, whatever you want to call it, has now basically been codified as a protected class. | |
| And then the question is going to be: if you say, I won't rent an apartment to someone who is, put it in quotes, trans, a man who thinks that they're, if you say you won't rent an apartment to someone who's trans, first of all, I've made this argument for a long time. | |
| You can't discriminate on the basis of mental illness in Canada to begin with. | |
| And gender dysphoria, that which is at the root of transgenderism, is a mental illness. | |
| So to say, I won't rent you an apartment because you have a mental illness is already unlawful. | |
| To discriminate against someone because of mental illness is unlawful. | |
| To say that to not comply with the mental delusions of their mental illness, that's the problem where Canada is at right now. | |
| They've codified it. | |
| And it's going to create some serious friction in terms of application of good common sense and abiding by these activist virtue signaling, suicidal empathy provisions of law that have now passed. | |
| When the law forces you to say things that you disagree with, that you don't believe in, we're no longer in a free country. | |
| It's one thing for people to voluntarily use the pronouns that somebody else would like to have used. | |
| And if you're doing that voluntarily, good for you. | |
| That's a personal choice. | |
| But it's entirely wrong for the law to force everybody to say things that they don't want to say. | |
| Can you appreciate that in Canada right now? | |
| Let me just, it's the AI overview, but it's good enough when you already understand the general gist of it. | |
| In Canada, they added gender identity and gender expression as a protected class as an aggravating factor under the criminal code. | |
| Prohibits discrimination in employment, housing, and services, fine. | |
| Includes gender identity or expression in hate speech laws and treats bias against these grounds as an aggravating factor. | |
| It has been tested as to whether or not gendering someone the way they want and not the way they are contravenes the law. | |
| And can you imagine that under human rights in Canada, they're saying your human right to be mentally ill, which is a human right, | |
| the consequences and delusions of that mental illness are now going to trump someone else's human right to free speech. | |
| And so your right to not be discriminated against based on your mental illness is going to trump someone else's right to speech to speak the way they want, because compelled speech is a violation of free speech. | |
| And you are going to be compelled to say something which you don't believe in in order to cater to the mental illness, the consequences of the mental illness of the other person. | |
| That's Canada right now. | |
| They disagree with. | |
| The Justice Center is fighting to defend freedom in Canada. | |
| If you support our efforts to defend free speech, which also includes freedom from compelled speech, please donate and we will send you an official tax receipt. | |
| I'm John Carpy. | |
| Thanks for listening. | |
| And that was a free advertisement for John Carpe and the JCCF doing the Lord's work up in Canada. | |
| You want to know how bad it's gotten up in Canada. | |
| I can show you this. | |
| My wife is this neuroscientist. | |
| It's the Ben Shapiro joke. | |
| My wife's a doctor. | |
| My wife is a PhD neuroscientist. | |
| She's been, I mean, this is like a passion project, putting together a coloring book with her friend with whom she used to study on neuroscience, on the brain. | |
| Now, I want to zoom in before you can, before I can spoil the surprise here. | |
| So, this is the, we call it a coloring book, but a learning coloring book. | |
| The brain, coloring and learning book, volume one. | |
| Maria Zamfir and Marion Van Horn, PhD. | |
| How we feel is part is volume two. | |
| And then, what we've got here, we got it in front. | |
| Oh, then we've got how we see the brain, how we feel, how we see le servo. | |
| That's French for the brain. | |
| Explorent noissance, exploring our senses, explorent no sense la vieu. | |
| Oh, this one says le touché et la douleur. | |
| That means touching and pain. | |
| And then the third one is exploring the view. | |
| And they got a rainbow there, you know. | |
| This is what is immediately above in the store. | |
| I tweeted this: I said, My wife's neuroscience learning coloring book is on shelves in Canada. | |
| This is the absolute state of Canada. | |
| Right above it, you've got all directed at children by its design, a year of pride and joy. | |
| 52 LGBTQ plus voices share their life passions. | |
| Then you got a kid's book about pride by Kendall Clausen. | |
| Then you got queer history A to Z: 100 years of LGBTQ plus activism. | |
| This is the downfall of a society. | |
| The closer a society approaches its downfall, the more obsessed with sex and sexual orientation and sexual perversions it becomes, and the more they target children in the application and the grooming of that sexual perversions. | |
| This is grooming of children up in Canada. | |
| It's legislative grooming, it's ideological grooming, it's ideological indoctrination, and it's institutionalized. | |
| And sorry, the conservatives are just as bad as the liberals. | |
| But that's it. | |
| Once it becomes the law, then you have to follow it. | |
| Once it becomes the law, you're no longer free to disobey, or you're going to disobey at extreme consequence. | |
| And you'll have to fight the uphill battle to say, Yeah, I'm sorry. | |
| Our legislation that said you must gender someone with a diagnosed, diagnosable, and what had hitherto been regarded as mental illness, you got to refer to them by their delusion and not by your and the reality, | |
| lest you find yourself stuck in court battling these insane human rights accusations. | |
| I just looked it up. | |
| Yaniv has never won one of his civil rights division, whatever the hell they want to call it, complaints, but I know that he eeked some settlements because some of these people would rather pay 5,000 bucks and never deal with that dude again. | |
| But that's what's going on in Canada. | |
| Allie Michael says, I wish he'd stop talking. | |
| I hope he's, I know you're not. | |
| Are you talking about me? | |
| I don't think you are. | |
| You wouldn't be unless I was talking over it and that upset you, but I don't think you'd be doing that either. | |
| So there's that. | |
| SV says, sorry, I can't post vids with audio in the chat. | |
| I blame locals. | |
| Well, you can't do it in Rumble either or YouTube. | |
| So you can't do it anywhere. | |
| Oh, she was. | |
| Okay, so sorry. | |
| Apparently, she was not talking about me. | |
| She was talking about Trump. | |
| Okay. | |
| Yeah, don't I? | |
| Well, I mean, the latest. | |
| We don't need to go over it. | |
| Like, I appreciate it. | |
| People are getting people are getting dismayed about everything that's going on in the world. | |
| And I mean, there's no easy way not to. | |
| It's incessant. | |
| Type gone to a car accident. | |
| I just got some notification about that. | |
| But I want to show this. | |
| This is what I wasn't actually going to talk about this, but now I'm going to have to. | |
| Just want to see where this is going. | |
| Brad Palumbo says, I've ardently defended Erica Kirk from the ostensibly serious podcasters and media stars defaming her and baselessly implicating her in crimes. | |
| But my feelings about the comedian Druski's mockery of Eric are more complex. | |
| For years, I and many others on the right defended edgy and wildly offensive comedy, like mocking trans people and even joking about horrible things like domestic violence, the Holocaust, and AIDS. | |
| How can anyone on the right really argue in that context that a comedian mocking a widow is somehow beyond the pale without being totally hypocritical? | |
| I'll feel this one for you, Perlumbo. | |
| Let me just see something here. | |
| I'll field this one for you. | |
| Let's just see what Rev Aurora says. | |
| Yeah, this is fair. | |
| In comedy, you can violate ethical rules. | |
| Theo Vaughn has a famous bit making fun of all the different kinds of disabled kids he went to class with. | |
| He was out on a special needs group. | |
| I have a cousin who's non-verbal autistic. | |
| Love him. | |
| But Theo's bit was insanely funny because of how transgressive it was. | |
| I'll explain to you what the difference is. | |
| It's not to say like Holocaust jokes, there's the old expression. | |
| I'm going to play you the video because it is. | |
| First of all, when people say it's offensive, nobody's saying that the person should not be allowed to do it. | |
| Nobody's saying the person should go to jail for doing it. | |
| It's disgusting. | |
| It's inhuman. | |
| And this is the product of children who didn't have parents that instilled a basic sense of human decency in them growing up. | |
| Now, Brad, I'll explain what's different about it. | |
| We've defended wildly offensive comedy like mocking trans people. | |
| Okay, mocking trans people. | |
| First of all, I don't know who did that or what context you mean. | |
| Mocking people in general is different than mocking a specific targeted individual in particular. | |
| Joking about AIDS, again, is one thing. | |
| Joking about Michael Johnson having AIDS might be another. | |
| Domestic violence, I'm not really sure who's joking about that. | |
| But again, what we're talking about is Holocaust, AIDS, jokes that are faceless. | |
| Jokes that are, on the other hand, also, comedy is tragedy plus time. | |
| And although I'm sure people might have been making jokes inside of World War II and the Holocaust, that might have been coping. | |
| But the expression is comedy is tragedy plus time. | |
| And the major distinction, Brad, should you be listening, I don't think you are, in all of these examples you've given and the remorseless, inhumane mockery of Erica Kirk is these are all faceless and these are all targeting groups, | |
| unidentified, unidentifiable, because we're just talking about a category and not an individual. | |
| And when I saw this, I just it's not to be holier than now. | |
| Let him do it. | |
| First of all, I'd like to know when JP Sears did his bit about Erica Kirk. | |
| I don't think he should go to jail for it. | |
| I don't think he should be canceled for it. | |
| It was just a line in the sand for me of malice and not humor. | |
| It's not humor just because you say it's a joke. | |
| You know, going up to a fat, ugly kid and saying, you're fat and ugly. | |
| I'm just joking. | |
| I'm just joking to a specific kid in particular is not a joke just because you say it is. | |
| It might just be malice and you might be cloaking it in humor so you can justify your own hatred, disgusting, deep-rooted lack of empathy for another human being. | |
| This is the comedy. | |
| Apparently, it's a black man dressing up as a white as Erica Kirk. | |
| Righteous God. | |
| And that is why we say our prayers. | |
| We are all his children. | |
| But when I say children, I mean like the holy blessed trinity, which is why I hold the Bible. | |
| Righteous God. | |
| It's just comedy. | |
| It is Michael Malice. | |
| Someone said Michael Malice. | |
| Some of Michael Malice's comedy is, or his satire. | |
| It's too specific, not enough time. | |
| And the irony is, Michael Malice is an interesting point. | |
| When his mother died, and I think this was from one of the podcasts when he was on Rogan, even when his mother died, and then people started making jokes to him, and he's like, well, this is too much. | |
| I mean, oh, but his audience thought he would be able to take it or his audience thought he would like it. | |
| And as far as my recollection of that podcast went or that portion of the podcast, it went too far. | |
| It sounded like he, you know, did not appreciate the jokes. | |
| They're just jokes about his mother dying. | |
| Dan, dang, got to do the thumbs down today. | |
| You go right ahead. | |
| Oh, how dare you give me a thumbs down? | |
| It's just my opinion. | |
| But you're not allowed judging other people for the expression of their opinions, right? | |
| That's where we're at right now. | |
| That's not comedy, what you just saw. | |
| That's inhumanity. | |
| Oh, but she's a public figure. | |
| She, you know, what's she going to expect from, you know, being the victim of her husband being assassinated? | |
| Oh, but people got questions. | |
| So anyways, that's it. | |
| Nobody's saying it's illegal. | |
| Nobody's saying that they should be canceled. | |
| Nobody's saying that they should be fired or whatever. | |
| It's not comedy just because you say it's comedy. | |
| And it is asshole children that grew up without a proper parental influence to impart on them basic humanity. | |
| About as funny as SNL has been for the last 30 years. | |
| No, first, SNL has a couple of good skits, which we'll play in the after show. | |
| Anyways, that's it. | |
| So that was the latest breaking, but, you know, whatever. | |
| All right, people, we're going to go see who's going to get raided today. | |
| And then we're going to go to our Rumble After Party. | |
| And who do we want to do? | |
| Do we want to do gaming? | |
| Hold on, hold on. | |
| I always know I get in trouble when I don't see if Owen Schroyer is live. | |
| Owen Schroyer does not seem to be live. | |
| Upcoming. | |
| What time does he go live at? | |
| Let me see here. | |
| Hold on a second. | |
| We're going to see what time Owen Schroyer does go live. | |
| I know that the time it says is always somewhere down here. | |
| You know what? | |
| We're going to raid Owen anyhow because it's been a while. | |
| And we're going to take our party to the after party. | |
| Is redacted on today? | |
| I don't think Redacted is on today. | |
| And that's that. | |
| We're going to go raid. | |
| And we're going to go take this to the Rumble, to the Premium After Party and the Locals Only After Party. | |
| Raid, bada bing, bada boom. | |
| Sunday night show, people. | |
| Six o'clock. | |
| Be there. | |
| Raid is confirmed. | |
| Owen, Jesus, love. | |
| Jesus, Viva, you have no self-awareness. | |
| Everyone's got an opinion, and you'll never please everybody. | |
| So with that said, people, we're calling it Locals After Party, premium coming up right now. | |
| Godspeed. | |
| God bless. | |
| See you all Sunday. | |
| Okay. |
