Unsettling times call for unsettling truths. We've dared to bring the dark underbelly of academia to light, shedding a harsh spotlight on the disturbing trend of genocide rhetoric against Jews on college campuses. MIT, Penn, and Harvard representatives get grilled as we question their stance on this horrifying development. The unsettling ambiguity in their responses only underscores the dire need for stricter regulations around hate speech.

Diving deeper, we grapple with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, magnifying the insidious rise of the term "intifada" on campuses. We pull no punches as we highlight the freedom-of-expression double standard some groups seem to enjoy. Layering this discussion with a historical lens, we bring context to this contentious issue. Finally, we pivot to the charges against former President Trump by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, probing their validity and potential political motivations. This episode is a roller coaster ride through the messy intersections of politics, academia, and free speech. Brace yourself and prepare for some hard-to-swallow truths.

Speaker 1:

What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

Speaker 2:

You don't know what that is, mr Trash, I'd show you. But I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too fucking blind. If I were a man, I was five years ago, I'd take a flamethrower to this place.

Speaker 4:

Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?

Speaker 1:

You want answers. I think I'm entitled to it. You want answers, I want the truth.

Speaker 3:

You can't handle the truth.

Speaker 5:

At MIT. Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate MIT's code of conduct or rules regarding bullying and harassment?

Speaker 6:

Yes or no? The targeted individuals not making public statements.

Speaker 5:

Yes or no. Calling for the genocide of Jews does not constitute bullying and harassment.

Speaker 6:

I have not heard calling for the genocide of Jews on our campus, but you've heard chance for intifada. I've heard chance, which can be anti-Semitic depending on the context, when calling for the elimination of the Jewish people.

Speaker 5:

So those would not be according to the MIT's code of conduct or rules.

Speaker 6:

That would be investigated as harassment if pervasive and severe.

Speaker 5:

Ms McGill at Penn. Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Penn's rules or code of conduct? Yes or no?

Speaker 4:

If the speech turns into conduct, it can be harassment.

Speaker 5:

Yes, I am asking, specifically calling for the genocide of Jews. Does that constitute bullying or harassment?

Speaker 4:

If it is directed and severe or pervasive, it is harassment. So the answer is yes, it is a context dependent decision, congresswoman.

Speaker 5:

It's a context dependent decision. That's your testimony today. Calling for the genocide of Jews is depending upon the context. That is not bullying or harassment. This is the easiest question to answer yet.

Speaker 3:

I have to love it Again. This is Tim. This is to get off my lawn. The bad ramblings of a Gen Xer had to play that whole clip because the woman from Penn, the president of Penn, oh my God had to look on her face and smile on her face.

Speaker 3:

When she talks about, basically, the genocide or the call for a genocide for an entire religion, for an entire culture on her campus, it has to be in context. There's so many ways that that could be taken out of context Calling for the killing and the genocide of Jews. You have to put it. Were you saying like you got to put it in context we want to kill all the Jews and take their land? Or were you saying we want to kill all the Jews and take all their land? See, it's how it's said and it's how it's in context. These are the higher minds, these are the brightest minds in this country that they go to these bastions of learning. These are the people that run the shit show. No one wants to say no, it is a simple question. You should not allow students to march on your campus and incite hatred and then tell them that you from the river to the sea. That's old now that's from the river to the sea. That's done with, even though that just basically meant you want to exterminate all Jews and take all their land. But that's okay, because it's how you say it in context.

Speaker 3:

Now, would you have it? What is it? The infatata, infatata, infatata? I've never been able to say that, but you know what they and I love that because they're calling for this now. This is what they say Infatata, we're calling for this now. Do people actually understand what that means? Do you know the actual Arabic translation, which is also referred to as a uprising or shaking it off? And it basically means, or basically it's called for, the uprising and the use of violence and form of terrorism against Israel. Now, this first started in 1987, until about I think it's the same until 1999,. The second infatata was from 2000 to 2005. Now it marks a period of basically just protests Our Palestinian protest, civil disobedience and acts of violence and terrorism against Israel. So that's okay. We're going to have college students march through the campus calling for this, because it's okay. It's okay. Let's listen to this clip too, from Dr Gay. I like this one as well. Hold on, let's see. Let's see we can get this clip to work too. This is this another good one.

Speaker 5:

This calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment? Yes or no it can be, depending on the context. What's the?

Speaker 3:

context. I love it, though, all these profiles. It's like they all got together. This is, this is the one from MIT. It's all a part of context. I love this part to hold on, hold on.

Speaker 6:

It's at an individual.

Speaker 5:

It's targeted at Jewish students, Jewish individuals. I will ask you one more time does calling for the genocide of Jews Violate Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment? Yes or no?

Speaker 3:

I'm sorry, this was the Harvard professor. Professor gay from Harvard, I'm sorry.

Speaker 5:

Oh, anti-semitic rhetoric. When it crosses into conduct that amounts to bullying, harassment, intimidation, that is actionable conduct. So the answer is yes, that calling for the genocide of Jews violates Harvard code of conduct, correct?

Speaker 4:

again, it depends on the context, Dr Gay. What is the?

Speaker 3:

context, though You're sitting there calling for an uprising, calling for a rebellion, calling for the extermination of an entire population of people. How is that gonna? I don't understand. I don't understand her thought process. What is under context? What is under context Do we have? I think I have another. I think I have another clip. Hold on, let's see if it's a clip too. This is different. I think it's another couple you have hold on at MIT.

Speaker 5:

Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate MIT's code of conduct or rules regarding bullying and harassment? Yes or no?

Speaker 6:

if targeted at individuals not making public.

Speaker 3:

This is that. This is, this is the woman from this is the professor from doctor Sally, somebody from MIT. Cornblath, cornblath.

Speaker 5:

That's yes or no. Calling for the genocide of Jews does not constitute bullying and harassment.

Speaker 6:

I have not heard only for the genocide for Jews on our campus, but you've heard chance for intifada.

Speaker 3:

Intifada, that's how you say it. I always forget how to say intifada, intifada, intifada. I always forget how to say that I don't care if I said it wrong.

Speaker 6:

I've heard chance which can be anti-Semitic depending on the context at.

Speaker 3:

So into Fada, which is the the term for the uprising that the Palestinian Jews against the Jews, to Create havoc, murder and terrorism. But that doesn't count.

Speaker 5:

And does calling for the genocide of Jews violate pens rules or code of conduct?

Speaker 4:

Yes, or no. It is a context dependent decision. Congresswoman.

Speaker 5:

It's a context dependent decision. That's your testimony today, calling for the genocide of Jews is depending upon the context.

Speaker 3:

Is and she smiles. This woman smile. I love. She's smiling Like, yeah, I'm just so much smarter than you.

Speaker 4:

Yes or no. If the speech becomes conduct, it can be harassment.

Speaker 5:

Yes, conduct meaning committing the act of genocide at Harvard.

Speaker 3:

That's. That was another great line. So if it becomes conduct, then it's bad. So if you kill somebody, we're good. We are gonna not like you have your pudding. We're taking away your pudding and your popcorn at night. People, you better watch it. You go out there and you call for killing the Jews, we're not gonna worry about it. But if you actually kill someone, then we're gonna be real upset with you.

Speaker 5:

This, this, this is where we're sending our children for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment. Yes or no, it can be depending on the context.

Speaker 4:

I.

Speaker 3:

Just don't understand what the penny and I still don't understand what the depending on the context is. I Don't get it. I Really don't. I'm not here to get it. In Tafada, we're gonna have the into Fada, but don't worry, because we've gone from a river to the sea. We're going from Zionism, we're going from colonialism. Now we're going to this, now we're going into Fada. You know it's funny.

Speaker 3:

A lot of these students are probably here on student visas. They should be. If you call for the violence against another, you could. If you call for To raise arms and commit terrorist acts Against other students in your population and you are here on a student visa, you should be removed immediately, student visa revoked. If you are a rabble rouser who comes to this campus to do this and to rile up the population, you should be put in jail for hate speech. I, but we don't. We don't do that because if Intifada is in context, then it's okay, then it's alright.

Speaker 3:

When did this world, when did this world that we live in, when did this world that we, that this country we, created has? I know when it happened what? It happened when an old man, a senile old man, got elected as president. What I mean and we let just people stream across this border. And we have to give a. We have to give a voice to everyone, because if everyone doesn't have a voice, they don't feel like they're heard. Sometimes certain people do not need to be heard.

Speaker 3:

They talk about the fact that white supremacy you know because Biden will talk about it white supremacy and global warming are the two main factors right now that are causing the issues in America. That is the greatest threat to America right now. It's white supremacy and global mourning. I don't hear I don't hear a lot of white supremacists on TV calling for intifada. I don't see a lot of white supremacists and now they probably are but I don't see a large group marching down Ivy League schools calling for the genocide of another segment of the student population. I don't see it.

Speaker 3:

But for some, how, it's okay because they've been oppressed. The Palestinians have been oppressed for hundreds of years, even though history shows that if you look at the lineage and you look at the who actually had the land known as Israel, it would be the Israelites. You want to go back to 80, you want to go back to BC, you want to go back to all that, but it's okay. And even though in 1948 or was it 1948, I think it was 1948, the UN said you know what? We're gonna divide up this area. We're gonna give half to the Israelis. We're gonna excuse me, we're gonna give half to the Jewish Israelis and we're gonna give the other half to the Palestinians and we're gonna call it a day. Palestinian said no, we want it all, it's a fadah. Even after the UN came up with, you know, came up with the land Israel, what happened? The Palestinians and the Muslims attacked the Israelis. It wasn't until the Israelis pushed them back did everything in Israel become secure in reference to them having their land.

Speaker 3:

Do you want to talk about? We want to talk about where Bethlehem is. Can we talk about where Bethlehem is for a minute? I'm not gonna say anything to people. I want you to look up, look it up and tell me where? Where is Bethlehem, one of the holiest sites in not only the Christian Bible, the Catholic Bible? Where is that land? Where exactly is Bethlehem? Now?

Speaker 3:

It's one of these things that we've just gone nutty. We've just become so politically incorrect, so politically incorrect, so politically correct and just so and just so, to the point where we are afraid to say anything to offend anyone, because someone's gonna be upset about something that we just keep forgetting about common sense. I don't care if you're gay, I don't care if you're black, I don't care if you're Muslim, I don't care if you're Italian, I don't care if you're Irish, I don't care if you're Hispanic. Somewhat another portion of the population should not call for your genocide and Should not call it by walking down a college campus to retting other students who happen to be Jewish or whatever, because of the fact that you don't like what's going on in another country. I got a news flash for you. Go back to fucking Gaza then.

Speaker 3:

If You're so, if you're so ingrained and going out and protesting and showing your love for the Palestinians and for Gaza and everything else, go to Gaza. It's amazing that you have Israelis here in this country who are in this country with dual citizenship, who have went back to Israel to fight for Israel and and, like I said, you know, in Israel you have to be in the army for a certain period of time and your active duty status is now to like your 40 years old. But when you have dual citizenship, you don't have to go. But there are numerous people from Israel, numerous Jewish people who have gone back to Israel to fight for Israel. Because of the murders, because of the rapes, because of the 1300 people slaughtered, because of the genocide created by Hamas. And these students are gonna walk down into fighting.

Speaker 3:

Why don't you go watch the videos of the rapes, of the murders, of the beheadings, of the burning of children's, of the killings? No, because you don't believe in that. That's false narrative, that's AR generated. They're from the cameras and the go-pros are from the terrorists who should all rot in hell. And this is what the students on this campus are doing. This is what the people are doing in their neighborhoods and these are the people that are ripping down the signs.

Speaker 3:

And then you question them and you talk to them. You ask them questions, you ask them basic questions. They don't have any answers. What is Zionism? What is colonialism? What is end to follow? You know what?

Speaker 3:

If you have such an opinion on something, have the facts before you do something, put it in context. That's the problem with this world everyone is afraid to say anything. And if you don't say something and you don't sit there and actually have an opinion, you're gonna get into this transgender bullshit. You're gonna get into this, this well, I am a man, I am a woman, but I feel like a man. I Feel like a man. Okay, that that that is not a biological issue, that is a mental issue. I Feel like a cat. Nice, I should be called, you know, I, I should be called cuddles, and you should dangle the string in front of me and I'm supposed to stand there and go. Oh, okay, that seems normal to me. It's just reaching the point where you're. You're kind of just, you're kind of just trying to just figure out what the hell is going on and where this world is coming to. I love it is.

Speaker 3:

The NBA legend of Mari Stalemire Came out with a video about everything that's going on and I want to play this because this, this, this, you know, of course, this is. This is a video from a man who is, I believe, is, jewish, I'm not mistaken, and Mari Stalematter is, I'm almost positive he is, and this, this was. This, was directly after the tax and and how he stands with Israel. Let me see if I got the clip here. Do I have the clip here? Yeah, I got the clip here.

Speaker 2:

We woke up, man. It's one with some disturbing news out of Israel their Hamas kidnapping children, putting them in cages, killing women, killing the elderly. That's some coward shit. That's cowardly. And for all y'all black lives matter. Who ain't saying nothing? Well, let me figure out exactly what happened before I say anything. Fuck you, figure out what.

Speaker 2:

They ain't never been cool to kidnap kids and put them in cages. They ain't never been cool to kill women and elderly never been. No matter where you from, what you represent we've tried before, don't matter. They ain't never been no cool. They ain't never been nothing that nobody supported. And then you go on high and put the kids in front of you as a barricade. I'm coward shit. All you politicians who always had something to say. On the contrary, I see you. Fuck you. All you. Black lives matter. People will always have something to say and always support everything else. And you quiet. Now Fuck you too. Only place in the world where I can go and study tour and eat kosher food, only place in the world, some coward shit dog, and all y'all supported. Fuck you on my mama. We don't. We don't respect none of y'all for that peace.

Speaker 3:

I'm already solid. My there's now my. He's no longer in the NBA, but he's not my favorite NBA player, cuz, he speaks the truth. Black lives matter should be for the injustice of what's happened. The NAACP should be under for the Injustice of what happened to Israel. There's no intifada. This wasn't this, this was, this was murder, this was genocide. This, this was, this was just pure evil. And Amari Amari just said he just settled it up and and just and just broke it down for everyone so they, they can figure, they can figure it out. It's just. It's just. It's just one of those days.

Speaker 3:

They're having all these debates on Capitol Hill about women's sports and changing of title nine, and I love it because the wonderful Alexander Ocasio-Rocortez, the brilliance of this woman, claims that all underage women will face genital examinations if biological men are barred from women's sports. I Would like to say she's dumb as a box of rocks, but I think rocks are smarter than she is and I don't know why you keep Electing her in New York. I don't get it. She says this we're talking about opening up all women's sports to girls, to genital examinations when they are underage, potentially, just because someone can point to someone and says I don't think you're a girl. And we're saying and this is the environment, the post-Dobbs America where Americans are criticizing, criminalizing access to abortion Actually, no one's criminalizing anything. The overturned row and way just put the onus back on the state. But that's okay. We don't like to talk about truth. This is abortion and this is. I don't understand how we've gone from Title IX of women's sports, the access to abortion and what nothing more than data on women to be figured out when you're getting a menstrual cycle, you just don't have one.

Speaker 3:

We're supposed to believe this is going to make us better and safer. First of all, you don't have any kids. Second of all, you have no life experience and you're going to preach to us and you don't play a sport. These are women that are uncomfortable with being in locker rooms with men who happen to have complete and functional genitalia and have to be addressing in front of them. That's what this is about. This is about the safety of the women on the teams who are going up against people who have a biological advantage, but we don't want to talk about that. We don't want to talk about the scholarships that can be potentially lost for actual female athletes and given to men who couldn't compete in the man's arena and they, all of a sudden, you know, someone will go and be 178th in the track team for men and be top in the world for women.

Speaker 3:

But we don't want to talk about that. We don't want to talk about the fact that you sit there and you talk about your women's rights but you turn around and want to give the rights to the women's, to men pretending to be women. You don't want to. We sit there and we say blackface is bad, this is women's face. This is another form of racism, and you've got so many people so screwed up that this is not a like I said, this is more of a mental issue. This is not a biological issue.

Speaker 3:

If you are a man excuse me if you're a woman, you think you're a man. You still have estrogen and vice versa, you still have testosterone. So biologically, yes, that's what you are. If you want, I don't care. If you want to feel what you are, be what you are, I don't care. I really don't care. It does not phase me, it does not bother me. You want to call yourself a man, that's fine. You want to call yourself a woman, that's fine, I don't care. But if I accidentally mislabel you, don't sit there and tell me that I'm a bad person because of the fact that I don't know your pronouns. That's all I'm asking. I'm not asking for much and for this moron to be like well, there's going to be genital examinations. We should be able to examine people such as yourself to see if you have a fucking brain, because I'm going to think the answer is no, I mean, and I would like to explain it to her, but I don't have the time or the crayons to do it.

Speaker 3:

I also love it now that the House Judiciary Committee is investigating Fannie Willis over at Fulton County, da. Fannie Willis and trying to see now if she coordinated with the January 6th committee to charge Trump in an alleged efforts overturned the 2020 presidential election. Now I love it because the fact that when Trump won, you had so many Democrats saying it's a false election he's not my president. He stole the election but and they went about ways of recounts and votes and everything else, but that's okay. So the House Judiciary Committee Chairman, jim Jordan, of course, are leading the probe and is after learning that Fannie Willis's office may have coordinated in its investigation with select partisan, select committee members. The lawmakers are saying that Willis asked the House Select Committee on January 6th to share evidence with her office. Now, this is a federal investigation. Who wants to be shared with a local investigation? Now, of course, fannie Willis and the other DA from New York. All they want to do is get Trump.

Speaker 3:

Now Willis charged Trump in August with one count of the violation of the George's RECO Act. I still love that. Three counts of criminal solicitation, six counts of criminal conspiracy, one count of false filing documents and two counts of making false statements. Now, that's the case. Every Democrat from 2000 should just basically be in jail or 2016, I should say. But Jordan is now saying that the new information raises additional questions reveling to the committee's oversight of Willis's political motivated prosecution of a former president and several former federal officials.

Speaker 3:

No shit, jim. Of course this is a political hack job. We all know this. This is nothing new. Finally, someone's stepping up and saying could you explain this one to me? I could keep going on, I could keep rambling. There's some other stuff going on in this world today and we're going to get off some of these other topics. I want to talk about some fun topics next week, so I just wanted to jump on the mic for a quick one today. And, as always, the truth shall always be free. This is Tim. Let's get off my lawn. Bad ramblings of Jennings. I really don't know why everyone wants to go to jail, so go ahead.

Speaker 1:

I'll speak for those.
