I have no sympathy for the woke leftists and the Harvard students who are now facing career ruin
for having supported Hamas in the latest conflict. Why? Because it is these sycophants and cowards
that brought us into the moral crisis we are facing today in the United States.
At least a dozen more CEOs endorse Bill Ackman's vow not to hire Harvard students who blamed Israel
for Hamas terror attack as undergrads double down on their statement and whine about being flooded
with racist hate speech. If you are someone who for your life, for forever, for a long period of
time advocated for the right of others to speak and express their ideas even if they were abhorrent
then I believe you should have your free speech defended and to a great degree and not absolute
but you should be allowed to keep your job and get a job just you know regardless of your opinions
so long as opinions don't directly impact the line of work you're in. Right what I'm saying is
if you work in public relations and you're tweeting these things like supporting Hamas
like maybe you're going to get fired because your job is public relations but if you're like a porn
star like Mia Khalifa like you know maybe you shouldn't get fired because you have nasty
opinions. Here's the point. A bunch of Harvard students signed onto this uh this uh letter
of student organizations that was basically defending Hamas essentially and now you've got
high-profile Wall Street CEOs and other billionaires saying these people will never be hired by us.
Good. Good. You have two factions on the left you have on the left action you have two kinds
of people one the people who overtly and explicitly defend this because they want it and they and they
they want violence they want destruction they want to burn it all down and then you have the people
who know it's wrong but are cowards. Cowards who said I'm gonna sit here and keep my head down
and it'll all pass me by and now it's all coming home to roost on you. The banality of evil who
supported evil people. I don't like cancel culture. I don't want war between the United States and Iran
or any other countries and you know typically I'm not a fan of people saying you're gonna be fired
because of your political opinions but here's my point. These are the people who thought they could
support evil ideologies and that we would just let it all happen. No no no no it's the banality
of evil. These Harvard students are now begging oh we're so sorry we didn't mean to support Hamas.
Here's my point as the far left engages in critical race theory the sterilization of children
and abortion to the point of birth and all of these things that we consider to be atrocious
there are many people on the left knowing it's wrong will just go along with whatever they
think the establishment narrative is so they can stay safe and keep their heads down and we've begged
I've said one day they'll come knocking on your door even if you keep your head down. That day is
now. These students at Harvard who signed on to this support statement thought that Black Lives
Matter was the way to go. Well Black Lives Matter has all the support from the institutions from the
big banks. You speak out against BLM they could take your bank account away and that's what your
cowardice has resulted in. I find it fascinating these individuals are now reeling and terrified
because they thought they could march in lockstep with evil and everything would be fine for them.
Eventually you pay the price and this is where we are now. The Daily Mail says over a dozen business
executives are joining the call to blacklist the Harvard students who put out a statement that
blamed Israel for the Hamas attack. Well the group wind up being persecuted in the aftermath. They're
your rules. The far left made these rules and demanded we be subjugated by them and now it has
turned around and is hitting them in the face. I won't defend them. Sorry. If you believe in free
speech then I will defend your free speech. If you have actively fought to suppress the rights of
Americans to have their free speech why would I defend you? You know people have long said
we must defend all free speech even for those who don't like it. Yeah up until the point they're
actively trying to strip me of my rights, right? That's the point. You're in a conflict and these
people are telling you that you can't target civilians. You can't. No. Oh no. And then they
explicitly state their intention to target civilians. The left will mercilessly beat a
child and then scream bloody murder if you strike back in defense. They will ignite riots. They will
ignite violence and then if you try to defend yourself they'll lock you up for it. These
criminals will be released by democrat policy and then if you try and protect your business as
the victim they will put you in jail. That's the point. Enough. No more can we defend these evil
people. But there's an interesting moral and philosophical debate. Everyone says you have to
defend the free speech of everyone. No you don't. There could be an evil abhorrent person I really
despise and they're saying a whole bunch of far left crazy nonsense about communism and they love
it and they love Hamas. But this person has consistently and always defended the rights of
everyone to free speech. And I say okay I reject your statements. I think you're wrong but you've
afforded me my right to challenge you and speak up as well. Well then I've got no beef as to this
person's free speech. The protesters in NYC who are speaking out I'm glad they're doing it. The
far leftists because they're showing themselves for who they really are. Take a look at this tweet.
Lawrence H. Summers says I yield to no one in my revulsion at the statement apparently made on
behalf of 30 plus Harvard student groups. But please everybody take a deep breath. Many in
these groups never saw the statement before it went out. In some case those approving did not
understand exactly what they were approving. Probably some were naive and foolish. This is
not a time when it's constructive to vilify individuals and I'm sorry that it's happening.
No no no no. I reject this outright. Chris Rufo says just delusional. In some cases those approving
did not understand what they were approving. These are Harvard students who signed a statement
that said in plain language the apartheid regime is the only one to blame. Summers brain is entangled
in ideology. It's very difficult for Summers to believe that the people and the culture that he
has nurtured for years support the mass butchering of women and children. The denial is strong but at
some point he will run out of excuses and see the truth. They were like this all along. I'll put it
this way. It may be that they made a mistake but when you march in lockstep with Nazis, I mean
literal World War II Nazis not the stupid leftist Nazis, you're complicit in these crimes. It is a
fact that there were many low-level Nazi soldiers who did not know the full extent to what the Nazi
party and Hitler had in store and were doing. Does that exonerate them of their crimes? It does not.
Just doing your job is not an excuse. Harvard students who signed on to something blaming
Israel for what happened to these babies to these children. Sorry I'm not going to defend you. I
won't. Now I certainly still believe in their right to free speech and I'm glad they spoke up.
I'm glad but let them reap what they have sown. This is what they've chosen. Now it's a bit extreme.
Look at this one. Doxing truck drives around Harvard showing names photos of students who
blamed Israel for Hamas attacks. What we don't want? We don't want authoritarianism. We don't
want people to lose their jobs because their political opinions, right? But right now it is
the people who have built this system who are suffering its consequences and perhaps this can
be a lesson to the extremists. If you build a system of extremity you will suffer its consequences
and you know what? I don't know. I don't have to tell you. We can't just sit here and be these
what is it? People talk about wartime conservatives and peacetime conservatives.
We are no longer peacetime liberals, libertarians, classic liberals I'm going to call it.
Too long there have been far leftists who have sought to strip us of our right to keep and bear
arms and to speech. And yes I know the far left likes guns. They just don't want you to have them.
So I'm not going to support the individuals who try destroying us. That being said if you're a
far leftist who has maintained free speech I respect it. Jacobin magazine for which I am a
subscriber is a far left socialist you know magazine and they've routinely defended the right
of free speech for everyone and for that I will defend their right to free speech absolutely to
criticize Israel and even blame them. I think it's gross. I reject their arguments. I think
they're wrong but I'm glad they're expressing them and so long as they defend my free speech
I want them to have theirs protected as well. If someone tried to fire a Harvard student for
speaking out but that person believed in free speech I'd defend them. I'd say let them have
their political opinion. That being said the idea of cancel culture to me is more so the unjust and
out of context taking of people's statements. Someone said something 10 years ago so they're
fired now that's stupid. Somebody said something and it was misinterpreted so they're fired that's
stupid. But look man let's say you're hanging out with a group of your friends and then one of your
buddies like you're hanging out at a bar and then one of your buddies stands up starts screaming
racial slurs you're going to be like get away from us dude we don't want to be around you right.
Even if they were a good friend of yours you'd be like dude stop man I'm not going to hang out with
you if you're doing this. I have no problem in that regard if companies are like we're not hiring
people who say these things it's bad for business. The issue with the far left is that they created a
fake reality of what was acceptable and what wasn't and people were marching in lockstep despite
the fact that what was being said wasn't even particularly controversial. There are moral lines
it is not so simple as to just say it is all principle sometimes it is morals. You can say
right now that you oppose intervention in Ukraine but you support intervention in Israel because
they're different things. I say for the most part I'm anti-intervention which typically includes
Ukraine and Israel. But I understand sometimes war happens I'm not so naive like you can't be
absolutist. But there are some people who say no to Ukraine and yes to Israel. Why? Well they view
Ukraine it's not a NATO nation it's not an ally it's not someone we've invested money in and they
say Israel is. I can respect and understand complex arguments right. My point is this man
I want to live in a world of a principled utopia but recognize that these people stood behind evil
to destroy your life and they're now reaping what they have sown and I'm not going to pull them from
it. Sorry it's what you get you it's the rules you wanted. Congratulations we'll uh we'll be over here
and we'll set up different rules I'll leave it there. Excuse me next segment's coming up at 6 p.m
on this channel thanks for hanging out and I'll see you all then.
