Outlines
🏈 Controversy Over NFL Player's White House Visit
The script discusses the controversy surrounding NFL player Harrison Butker's visit to the White House with his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, following their Super Bowl victory. Butker's commencement speech at a conservative Catholic college, where he emphasized traditional gender roles, sparked backlash and led to calls for him to be 'cancelled'. The White House Press Corps questioned whether the team would still be welcome, to which the response was that the entire team was invited as per usual. The narrative then shifts to criticize the perceived overreaction of 'cancel culture', especially from conservative media, which frames the incident as an attack on Christian values. The commentary also touches on the broader issue of free speech and the perception that outspoken conservatives are unfairly targeted.
🗣️ The Myth of Cancel Culture and Conservative Victimhood
This paragraph delves into the concept of 'cancel culture' and the perceived victimization of conservatives who claim their freedom of speech is under threat. It highlights the irony of conservatives celebrating their supposed silencing across various media platforms, with numerous books and conferences dedicated to this narrative. The speaker challenges the idea of an organized cancel culture conspiracy against conservatives, pointing out that it's often their own side, particularly Donald Trump and his supporters, who are responsible for 'cancelling' individuals, such as Liz Cheney, for disagreeing with them. The paragraph criticizes the right's tendency to weaponize outrage and to claim victimhood while enjoying significant platforms and influence.
🎭 The Paradox of Public and Private Speech in Cancel Culture
The script addresses the paradoxical nature of 'cancel culture', where individuals are pressured to suppress their true opinions in public for fear of backlash, while still being able to express them in private. It uses the example of a young man who privately criticized Donald Trump but had to feign support in public to avoid repercussions. The paragraph criticizes the left for allegedly promoting censorship and creating an environment where people are forced to deny reality. It also satirizes the loyalty demands of the 'MAGA' movement, suggesting that no level of loyalty is enough to protect one from being 'cancelled' by Trump, as evidenced by the treatment of figures like Rona McDaniel and others who have faced consequences for dissenting against him.
📚 The Absurdity of Right-Wing Grifting and Economic Misunderstandings
This paragraph begins with a critique of right-wing personalities who peddle low-quality products, such as Rudy Giuliani's coffee and Alex Jones's supplements, suggesting that liberals are too smart to fall for such scams. It then transitions into a discussion of public misconceptions about the economy, as revealed by a Harris Poll. The poll shows that a significant portion of Americans believe the economy is shrinking, the stock market is down, and unemployment is at a 50-year high, despite the opposite being true. The speaker humorously suggests that the public's economic misunderstandings might be due to the shift from newspapers to social media influencers as primary sources of information.
🚨 The Farcical Fears of Assassination and Political Feuds
The script touches on Donald Trump's claims that the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago was an assassination attempt by Joe Biden, using the mention of lethal force in the search warrant as evidence. It mocks the idea by suggesting that if Trump were truly in danger, he wouldn't pause to send out fundraising emails. The paragraph also covers the feud between Donald Trump and Nikki Haley during the Republican primaries, highlighting how personal attacks led to Haley not endorsing Trump when she dropped out. Despite her initial resistance, the script ends with the news that Haley has decided to vote for Trump after all, suggesting a lack of principled consistency.
🏡 The Alleged Bias of Supreme Court Justice and Controversial Flags
This paragraph discusses the controversy surrounding Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, who is facing calls to recuse himself due to an upside-down American flag, a symbol of insurrection, being displayed outside his home. Alito denies involvement, attributing it to his wife's response to a neighbor's insulting language. The script then mentions a second controversial flag, the 'Appeal to Heaven' flag, associated with support for Donald Trump and far-right causes, which was also found at Alito's beach house. The speaker questions the impartiality and integrity of a Supreme Court Justice in light of these incidents and criticizes the lack of adherence to the Supreme Court's own code of ethics.

[Music]
there is one story still with so many
unanswered questions it made its way all
the way to the White House Press Corps
um can we still assume that the Kansas
City Chiefs will be visiting the White
House this year in celebration of their
Super Bowl victory you confirmed as the
chief's kicker Harrison bucker welcome
at this White House buter
[Applause]
the Kansas City Chief's field gold
kicker gave a conservative Catholic
commencement speech at a conservative
Catholic
College seems expected although we did
have a shout out to the ladies some of
you may go on to lead successful careers
in the world but I would venture to
Guess that the majority of you are most
excited about your marriage and the
children you will bring into this world
ha hey
apparently enjoy the PTA
not the advice you want to hear
when you're $100,000 in debt earning a
degree in electrical
engineering but I imagine that the
cancellation of one Harrison buter was
Swift and unforgiving at the White House
what I can say is we invite the entire
team and we do that always I don't have
anything beyond that aha you woke arati
at the Communist wait well I'm sorry
what was that what did you he can still
go to the White House and and be on his
football team and all that's really
happened is some people roasted him on
Tik Tok so I guess this is just kind of
a passing
distraction or if you happened to tune
into more conservative media major
Scandal rocking the NFL players in big
trouble not for doing drugs betting or
beating women but because he's Christian
the left seeks to destroy an outspoken
NFL Catholic he's been doxed he's been
slammed he's they're calling for him to
be cancelled the left hates Christian
values they will try to denigrate you
isolate you cancel you and ultimately
silence you
completely but Be not
Afraid how can I be Not
Afraid when what you have proferred is
so so
afraid by the way and you're hitting us
with that King James sentence structure
be not afraid people only say that when
there's to be afraid
of let's say three to four
horsemen but my question to the right I
guess
is have you never been on the internet
before because that's all it is it's
just people giving each other all
the time I mean my God you're all so
thin skin look Jerry Seinfeld took more
over the past two weeks promoting a
Pop-Tart
movie that Harrison buter did for his
entire speech and I ask you
people what is the deal with
that no I'm not doing an
impression
I I legitimately would like to know why
he's taking so much about
everything from
everybody and who are these
[Applause]
people it's so hard not to do the voice
and who
are these
people now it's it's
it's no
it's the the Jerry Steinfeld impression
is the first thing a Jew learns in
kindergarten it's not
of course nothing about the right-wing
reaction is surprising because the idea
that there is an all-pervasive all
powerful threat to free speech called
cancel culture has become a central
tenant of modern conservatism they
celebrate their being silenced at
conferences they celebrate their being
silenced on podcasts and streaming
Outlets they celebrate they're being
silenced with over 700 book
titles about being
can why are there so many of these
BS unless you don't know nobody reads
anymore and by the way if you already
read a war on woke and woke
Inc you're really not going to learn
anything from woke
[Music]
Warriors conservatives have an entire
industry devoted to complaining about
not being allowed to say the things they
say all the time their victimhood is the
entire brand you can no longer say
somebody is homeless you have to say
they are unhoused free phones food and
clothing sounds like a great deal a
homeless woman in a democratic run City
pretty sure we won't be allowed to say
illegal aliens because it'll be hate
speech and therefore illegal illegal
aliens streaming across our border trans
agenda is a religion now convert or be
canceled big trans has a real knack for
making everything about themselves dare
to speak your mind about issues like
pro-life well your life could be ruined
forever you could be cancelled I'm never
going to apologize for being pro-life
how did we get to the point where we
can't say all lives matter as a matter
of fact all lives
matter all of you still speak
how doesn't the woke mob have
cable but this is their identity now
constant victimization they say what
they want and if you get upset about it
you don't believe in Freedom I just
believe in Freedom why are Li why are
liberals so afraid of freedom and
freedom of speech m i don't get outraged
if you don't like with somebody saying
oh you can turn off the TV turn off a
radio dial turn off a podcast walk out
of a commencement or you could buy a
different beer than Bud Light without
going into your back swamp and
assassinating six back you're so
unbelievable
they're so full of that Shan
Hannity can say with a square
head I'm not the kind of guy who gets
outraged Sean
Hannity he's basically just a meatbag
support system for a forehead vein
tonight every American has a right to be
angry and ticked off we have a story
that will make your blood boil now the
left is hellbent on Banning Dr Seuss
Pepe Lau Dumbo Peter Pan are on the
chopping block sanctimonious
self-righteous frankly overpaid lazy
agenda driven Liars What A pompous
jackass do you even know what my job is
what part of this can't you get through
your thick head my message tonight to
these snowflakes is very simple you
people disgust
me but every snowflake is different
we can't all disgust
you look it is absolutely true that in
our modern social medad driven Society
our interactions are incentivized and
monetized for outrage and it
is exhausting for everyone but contrary
to your conservative book industry the
outrage isn't just coming from the left
it's coming from the left the right for
the right for the left and the swifties
and ya readers and anybody who dares to
lift their head up to say
anything we are not censored or silenced
we are surrounded by and inundated with
more speech than has ever existed in the
history of communication and it is all
weaponized by professional outrage
Hunters of all Stripes scouring the
globe for graduation speech Snippets
off-hand comments during promotion tours
out of context comedy bits lame
marketing ideas or any words and phrases
they believe they can latch on to to
generate monetized clicks outrage is the
engine of our modern media economy and
sometimes someone loses a job or
something else happens like that that
should
nevering happen
but but
I leaned over so far I may never get
back up
again but contrary to conservatives
victimization complex there is no
organized cancel culture conspiracy
where even the slightest misstep can
100% get someone on the right cancelled
but actually there is oh there there is
one congresswoman Liz Cheney get kicked
out of Wyoming's Republican party for
opposing Trump yeah as irony would have
it it turns out that when it comes to
cancel culture the ones who smelt it
dealt
it there is someone cancelling people on
the
right but the only one canceling people
on the right is Donald Trump and anyone
who dares speak out against him refused
to buy into Trump's stolen election
claims and you'll lose your job like Liz
Cheney or countless others in fact
everything the right says cancel culture
does to them is actually being done by
Maga for example they will shout you
down and try to shut you down as opposed
to discuss with you yes the woke mob
shouts you down and what happens when
you're a Republican and dare criticize
the boy King that is a failure of
leadership and I you can boo all you
want
but here's the thing Donald Trump is
running to stay out of prison and if we
elect I know I know I know now you know
me as a person who uh who says what he
thinks and I don't hide the fact that I
wasn't a fan of our last president's
character
issues and I'm also no
fan
[Applause]
respect show some damn respect Romney
you piece of
mother it's called
class like I was telling your mother
last
[Music]
night Hickory Dickory door
man your mom Wasing a mo
man oh you like that what's a what's
another they like the
Poetry by the way what's another thing
that the Wright hates about woke cancel
culture many Americans feel forced to
stay silent for fear of upsetting the
cancel culture mob yes under cancel
culture you can only speak your truths
in private while denying them in public
for instance this poor young fellow who
privately wrote of trump he's a demonic
force a destroyer I hate him
passionately he wrote in private but of
course in public fearing the cancel mob
he's forced to stand next to his
Tormentor with what can only be
described as the fakest of over laugh
faces grab him by the
head but that's cancel culture it won't
let you speak your truth in fact it
makes you do something even worse the
left is married to censorship and has
nothing else that's how you get people
to believe in an alternate reality yeah
the woke mob is so permiss it forces you
to deny reality like imagine if Trump
ever gave a speech about January 6th
where he clearly confuses Nikki Haley
with Nancy Pelosi Nikki Haley you know
they did you know they destroyed all of
the information all of the evidence
everything because of lots of things
like Nikki Haley is in charge of
security we offered her 10,000 people
now in a healthy discourse you would
just go hey man you know everybody brain
farts sometimes you know whatever it is
but under the Maga cancel culture mob
people like congresswoman stonic have to
pretend this was all part of a grand
strategy that isn't a mixup uh the
reality is Nikki Haley Nikki Haley is
relying on Democrats just like Nancy
Pelosi uh to try to have a desperate
showing in New York in New Hampshire but
he was talking about January 6 president
Trump has not lost a step he is a
stronger candidate stronger than he is
today than he was in 2016 and he was in
2020 he is reverse
aging he is stronger he is Benjamin
Buton he will be our Wis IST baby
president and by the way denying reality
still won't save you there is no level
of loyalty deep enough to be free of
trump cancel culture Rona McDaniel
literally dropped Romney from her name
to keep Trump happy and he still fired
her and that Romney name had gotten her
into all the hottest clubs in Salt Lake
City yeah the ones with
lattes truth is Trump is the real cancel
culture emphasis on cult because on the
right you can say whatever the you want
about gay people and trans people from
Tik Tock to patreon you can decry Dei
from podcast to I don't know the
governor's office of Florida and chances
are not only will you be fine you'll get
a raise but if you ever dare speak out
one iota against Donald Trump be yes
afraid big news today the Trump trial is
coming to an end and just like stormmy
Daniel said it was over much more
quickly than expected
[Applause]
and we've heard from so many people
during this trial this blonde blob this
other blob this one blob with the
mustache you know it's just too bad no
one's invented cameras yet but we
haven't heard from the biggest blob of
them all Donald Trump who he's been
going around telling anybody who will
listen that he is just itching to
testify under oath
I would have no problem testifying I
didn't do anything wrong I'm testifying
I tell the truth I mean all I can do is
tell the truth do you plan to testify in
court uh probably so I would like to I
mean I think so will you testify in your
own defense oh yes absolutely you take
the stand that I would that I look
forward
to
yes right at the buzzer yeah
yes but yes Donald Trump has been saying
for months how much he wants to testify
he's like let's do it swear me in on
that shiny book that Mike Pence is
always blah blah blinding about and
after four weeks of trial today it was
finally time for Trump to tell his side
of the story so here we go big guy it's
the opportunity you've been waiting for
the defense has rested testimony has
wrapped and Donald Trump notably did not
take the stand what what
what what after talking such a big game
he's not testify so he's doing the
opposite of what he told us he was going
to do over and over again that's not the
Donald Trump I know and I played I
played full contact hockey without a
helmet this morning but it's just so
peculiar that outside the courtroom with
his legal pads of notes he just talks
and talks and talks but but then if you
ask him to walk just a few feet inside
the courtroom and to swear to tell the
truth under penalty of law suddenly he's
afraid to speak I mean what's the
difference is is it the fluorescent
lighting you know I mean I hate to even
come to this conclusion but is it
possible that Donald Trump is full of
I
mean Mr
Trump Mr Trump are you just full of
yes okay well well I really wanted that
yeah well we should believe him then we
should believe him let's move on from
Donald Trump to his morally and
financially bankrupt former lawyer Rudy
Giuliani last week he had an 80th
birthday party and he got a little
surprise present Rudy Giuliani was
served with an indictment over the
Arizona 2020 fake elector scheme during
his 80th birthday party late Friday
Giuliani was served 2 hours after after
boasting on social media that he would
evade charges godamn I mean served at
his own birthday party can you imagine
you know hey can someone take a picture
of me taunting the Arizona Court hey how
about you man in a suit and a badge at
my birthday party that I've never seen
before and this indictment is on top of
a $150 million defamation judgment
against him Rudy need cashy all right
but luckily he's got a side hustle today
I'm thrilled to introduce you to
something I'm incredibly proud of my own
brand of organic specialty coffee Rudy
coffee believe me when I say it's the
best coffee you'll ever tried it's
smooth Rich chocolatey and gentle on
your stomach wow gentle on my stomach
and chi I
mean I'll have mine with Mo and schluger
uh also cool apartment dude I mean your
kid says cial killer but the rest of
your apartment says still serial killer
and and look I'm glad there's finally a
coffee commercial that's somehow
creepier than the folders one where the
brother and sister clearly want to Bone
each
other I just can't believe he's calling
it Rudy's coffee and not Ground
Zero let me keep going and in case
you're wondering where this delicious
looking coffee is sourced from I can
assure you it comes directly from Rudy
himself I thought just well you you
never heard of drip
coffee by the way why is it that you
only see right-wing grifters Hawking
these cheap products Rudy's coffee Alex
Jones's supplements Donald Trump's
everything I mean how come you don't see
liberals getting grifted and I'll tell
you why because Liberals are too smart
to fall for this patronizing scams that
are like this and as I explain in my new
book Liberals are too smart to be
scammed available on my website for just
$79.99 order now and shipping is doubled
but look it's important to remember that
Rudy wouldn't be doing any of this if he
wasn't so deep in debt from all his
legal bills it it's actually kind of
heartbreaking but you can help for the
price of just one bag of coffee you can
get this poor broke election denier back
on his
feet will you please please help him
smile
again oh gross no not like that forget
it take that away take that away take
that away let's kick things off with
polls there's a new one every 15 minutes
even though none of us have ever met a
single person who's participated in one
but whatever someone's doing them but a
new poll was out today that reminds us
that no matter how dumb our leaders are
we the people are even dumber the
guardian did like a commissioned Harris
Poll for Americans and how they feel
about the economy 55% say the economy is
shrinking
56% say the economy is in recession
which you know we know on CNBC is not
the case 49% believe the S&P is down for
the year which seems incredible which
it's up about 13% and 233% last year 49%
also say unemployment is at a 50 year
high in fact unemployment is at a
50-year low or near there under 4%
right all right so just to summarize we
think the economy is shrinking when it's
actually growing that the stock market
is down when it's actually up and that
unemployment is at a 50-year high when
it's actually near a 50-year low but we
do know that benefer on the Rocks so
we're not completely pathetic I mean it
might just be me but maybe as a society
we shouldn't have replaced newspapers
with dudes ranting in cars I don't
know and and in a way I get it people
don't judge the economy Based on data
they're like you say the GDP is up but I
say I used to be on my cousin's Netflix
account and now I have to get my own so
yeah Jerome Powell we're in a recession
okay but you have to remember yeah these
are not surveys of Americans these are
not surveys of Americans these are
surveys of Americans who are willing to
talk to a stranger who cold calls them
in the middle of a work day but I'm
saying is these people are not normal I
mean I ignore phone calls from my own
mother that's normal you get it
sometimes I'll get three four five calls
in a row you know there's a bunch of
texts like the car's filling up with
water I don't have time for this Mom
I'll see you at Thanksgiving that's
normal either way clearly Joe Biden
needs to do a better job of getting word
out about the healthy economy maybe he
needs a hype man right you know how like
notorious b had p
P Diddy could do it what's he up to
what is
he I guess he's not available right now
okay let's move on to Republican
candidate Donald Trump recently he took
over the na recently he took over the
Republican National Committee and today

it but seriously don't s blood to the
RNC that's reckless now you're going to
end up on their mailing
list but you can see why Donald Trump
might be freaked out by this because as
you may have heard someone is trying to
assassinate him Donald Trump is now
claiming that the FBI raid on maral Lago
two years ago was actually Joe Biden's
attempt to assassinate him he pointed to
wording in the search warrant that
allowed the FBI to use lethal Force if
necessary which the the FBI says is
standard protocol in any search but in a
fundraising email to supporters Trump
wrote they were authorized to shoot me
and you know they're just itching to do
the unthinkable Joe Biden was locked and
loaded ready to take me out holy
locked and loaded ready to take me out
I've never heard Joe Biden sound so cool
in my
life I I always thought of him as a
daughtering old man yeah
I always thought of Biden as a
daughtering old man but Donald Trump
makes him look like one of The
Expendables the rest of you the rest of
you take what you want but leave the
orange man to
me can you tape Wheel of Fortune this
might take a little
while now personally I think it would be
very difficult to assassinate Donald
Trump mostly because he would never get
that close to a Book Depository but
regardless I don't think Trump actually
fears getting assassinated by Joe Biden
and the reason is because he announced
it in a fundraising email if you're
dodging bullets you don't stop to wave
your venmo QR code you know please
somebody send
money let's move on to the presidential
race you may remember that the end of
the Republican primary campaign saw a
bitter feud between Donald Trump and
Nikki Haley she criticized him for his
record and conduct and he mocked her
Indian birth name promoted birth or
conspir icies about her and implied that
her husband deployed to Africa just to
get away from her
so highbrow stuff the attacks got so
personal that when Nikki Haley finally
dropped out of the race in March she
made it a point to not endorse Donald
Trump I have always been a Conservative
Republican and always supported the
Republican
nominee but on this question as she did
on so many others Margaret Thatcher
provided some good advice when she said
quote never just follow the crowd always
make up your own
mind it is now up to Donald Trump to
earn the votes of those in our party and
Beyond it who did not support him and I
hope he does that wow go Nikki Haley
right a republican standing up to Trump
that's pretty rare these days it's like
seeing an eclipse or a movie without
Timothy shalam
but basically Nikki Haley said Trump if
you want my endorsement you got to earn
it so let's see how Trump courted Nikki
Haley's supporters you've talked about
trying to unify the party how do you
bring these Mickey Haley voters some of
who voted for you in 2020 but say they
don't want to now how do you bring them
back into the town they're going to all
vote for me again they're going to all
vote for me again everybody and I'm not
sure we need too many
damn that's cold Trump's like yeah let
me reach out to Haley supporters oh
gotcha
Trump just doesn't care about winning
over Haley voters to Trump Haley voters
are like vegetables you know he's gotten
this far without them why worry about
him
now but that's Trump for you he doesn't
come to you you come to him he's not
going to gravel for your support he's
not going to work to unify the party
he's not going to meet you at a coffee
shop halfway between his house and your
house you come to the coffee shop near
his house he doesn't care if you met up
there the last three times he's not de
dealing with that
traffic but you know what that means
Donald if if you're going to take Nikki
Haley's voters for granted like that
then good luck getting Nikki Haley to
vote for you breaking news Nikki Haley
declares she will vote for Donald Trump
endorsing the former rival she fiercely
attacked during her GOP Presidential bid
I will be voting for Trump having said
that I stand by what I said in my
suspension speech
Trump would be smart to reach out to the
millions of people who voted for me and
continued to support me what the hell
Nikki you know what happened to that
Margaret Thatcher quote about never
following the crowd is there another
Margaret thater quote where she said you
know what who gives a just follow
the crowd
whatever and it's not the hypoc ocracy
that annoys me here every Loser ends up
supporting their party's nominee but
Haley made this whole big show about
withholding her support and then she
gave it up for nothing she'd be the
worst kidnapper ever I want if you want
to see your child send me $1 million in
unmarked bills actually forget it I'll
drop him off at
5 anyway I'm sure it'll be worth it and
Trump will reward her for it enjoy being
ambassador to those islands where the
nuclear bombs get tested Nikki
let's move on from
politics good it's a good
joke let's move on from politics to a
place that's completely above Politics
the Supreme Court now usually we expect
this esteemed body to sit above partisan
pettiness while it issues rulings that
let corporations sell my organs for
profit but last week an unfortunate
issue suied that image Justice Samuel
Alo is facing calls to recuse himself
this comes after the New York Times
published a photo outside ao's home of
an upside down American flag that's
widely viewed as a symbol of efforts to
overturn the last election Alo
confirming the photo telling the times
quote I had no involvement whatsoever in
the flying of the flag it was briefly
placed by Mrs Alo in response to a
neighbor's use of objectionable and
personally insulting language on yard
signs yeah Mrs alito's fault huh yeah I
feel you Sammy you know my wife's always
squabbling with the neighbors too I mean
her squabbles don't usually end with her
raising the flag of insurrection against
the United States but maybe your
neighbors are just that bad but hey Sam
Alo is a Supreme Court Justice the
Pinnacle of moral Integrity if he said
he has nothing to do with it then I
believe him and I believe that it's
never going to happen again new
questions surrounding Supreme Court
Justice Samuel Alo after a second
controversial flag was hanging outside
one of his homes the New York Times
report reports an appeal to Heaven flag
carried by January 6 riers was
photographed at his New Jersey beach
house last summer the flag which
features a pine tree and the phrase
appeal to Heaven dates back to the
Revolutionary War but today the flag has
become quote a symbol of support for
former president Donald J Trump for a
religious strand of the stop the steel
campaign and for a push to remake
American government in Christian
terms what the hell man another flag did
this guy get a two for one deal at the
Maga flag
store look I'm not an expert but I
always thought a judge was supposed to
be impartial and neutral and I'm not
naive I know he's not but can he at
least respect us enough to pretend to be
you know it's not like he's a judge on
American Idol he's a Supreme Court judge
but he's stunting on us like a soccer
player popping his jersey after a goal I
killed roie way I killed roie
way
[Applause]
but if
you but if you're upset about this the
good news is supreme court has a code of
ethics now the bad news is they wrote
that code of ethics and they don't
follow it so I guess there is no good
news and the bad news is even worse
