ening accidentally but the people on the left have an intention of replacing white people until they're not in charge anymore according to them. Yeah. Now that's about as good a dunk as you can do. It's hard to find a dunk that's this clean where somebody criticized you and then you find in 2021 a video of them saying exactly the thing they criticize you for. That's a good dunk. According to City…
← Previous segment →r everybody. I think white men are just done. You know what that means right? We're done rolling over because it didn't work. Here let me tell you about white men. I can't speak for any other group and I probably shouldn't speak for white men but it's an observation. You know it's not like a scientific fact but white men very much want to get along. We just don't want to make trouble. Just want to earn my money, take care of the family, stay out of trouble. And as long as that works we will eat shit. So much. As long as I'm making my money, taking care of the family, you know I get to drink some beer and watch some sports I'm good. But once you get to the point where you can't earn money and you can't take care of your family you don't have any reason to keep your mouth shut. So you're going to see some free speech like you never expected because people like me are putting our entire lives on the line to make this possible for you. You know that right? You know I put my life on the line to make this possible for the rest of you to speak maybe a little bit more freely. Yeah this is not just social media doesn't like you. It's not just oh you lost a little money. We're putting our lives on the line. And it's because we're done. We're just done. It's time to be honest and you're going to get some honesty that you were not expecting. And in the end it will be good. In the end it will be good for everybody because I don't think there's bad intentions anywhere. There's no bad intentions. It's just we've ate shit for 40 years and now we're done. Let me say that again. White men, we ate shit for 40 years and now we're done. So things will be different. I don't know exactly how but we're definitely done. So just know that.
All right. Charlamagne tha God is one of the guest hosts of The Daily Show I guess. They have a rotating schedule of guest hosts until they can find a permanent one. But Charlamagne tha God says he wants Biden to deliver the ultimate Christmas gift and drop out of the race. Now Charlamagne tha God identifies presumably on the left Democratic side of things and so he's saying it directly now. I think that's useful and smart and I would give him credit for being a good citizen and a patriot in this regard. I don't know what else he's done but I kind of have a positive opinion of him for this.
So here's the interesting thing. So I looked at some of the other people who were on board to maybe guest host and I was thinking who would maybe not be able to get this job as a guest host on The Daily Show who would be qualified. Can you think of two people you know who would be totally qualified for the job but could not get it if they applied for it? Well one would be me. Would you agree? Would you agree that I'm both qualified for the job? I'm literally a humorist who talks about the news in a humorous fashion on a live stream six days a week. That's pretty qualified right? I have a long track record of success in professional domains very much like this. Kind of perfect. I've been offered jobs like this years ago. ABC Good Morning America offered me a job to be an on-air commentator. So I think I'd be qualified. But do you think I could get that job in 2024? No. No. Do you know who else would never get hired for that job? Here's the funny one. I saved the funny one. Jon Stewart. Jon Stewart, do you think Jon Stewart could get a job on The Daily Show in 2024? I doubt it. So Jon Stewart how you feeling now?
All right. Glenn Greenwald continues to be, I don't know what the word for it is but he is so useful to America even though he doesn't live here, right? He is so useful because he's willing to say any damn thing that is unpleasant but you should hear it. Like I love that about him even when I disagree with him which happens sometimes. But he said this has been the single best week in years for the cause of limiting free expression and free discourse. In other words he's saying you know censorship is at an all-time high. He says anyone who claims they believe in free speech while they cheer the union of hedge fund billionaire and DC politicians to impose speech limits is a fraud.
So I think what he's talking about if I interpret this correctly is that the people telling the pro-Palestinian people to shut up are anti-free speech. Now are those people making it very very difficult for Jewish students to just enjoy their lives and feel safe and go to college? Yeah yeah. Super super uncomfortable. And I don't know what you do about that and still maintain free speech. So it looks like the colleges are probably going to prefer keeping the students safe I think in the long run and that probably means limiting free speech. Are you in favor of that? Because the problem is that one person's incitement to violence is another person's ordinary talking. So and I think Glenn made this point that when to Jewish and American ears some of the things that the Palestinian supporters say sound kind of like kill them all and it sounds like that to me. But his argument would be that they're not thinking that way and therefore we're misinterpreting to some extent. I think it would be more fair to say some of them are definitely thinking of it that way but others might not. So what do you do with that right? That's a tough one.
So let me state again I'm 100% in favor of Israel's response to October 7th. 100%. I think everything they've done so far looks right to me in the sense that we would have done the same th

ing. So I don't judge anybody who does exactly what I would have done in the same situation. How can I? So I'm 100% in favor of everything they've done so far. And I take myself out of the conversation for everything that happened before October 7th, right? So I'm not endorsing Israel. I'm not condemning them. I'm not interested. I'm just not interested. That's their business. They can work it out…
