WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:06.480
Fame, he'd liked to be walked
on a leash and play really dirty,

2
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:11.160
kinky sex games. Is uh the
guy put the cock in the peacock network.

3
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:15.519
Okay, bitch, Hey, everybody
aj Benzi here with fame is a

4
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:20.320
bitch. This is your free show. Well, I'm taping it on Friday,

5
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:25.120
December fifteenth. Hopefully the land late
Friday. If not, you'll get

6
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.920
it for the weekend. Wann't you
guys to have something to chew on for

7
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.840
the weekend while you're taking a break
from your holiday shopping. How you bird's

8
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:36.679
doing? You know, I don't
think I haven't told you guys. You

9
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:41.399
know, Frank Sinatra and his pals
used to use the word bird for a

10
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:46.560
guy's prick. How's your bird?
Hey, Charlie, how's your bird feeling?

11
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:51.479
That was the code word for yeah. They used to make Sophila n

12
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.679
say in English, how is your
bird? Because Sophila Urn spoke very little

13
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.759
English when she got to Hollywood,
and Frank Sinatra and his friends convinced her

14
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.359
that it's very common for people in
America to ask men for women to ask,

15
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.640
then, how's your bird? They
convinced that this was something that women

16
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:14.200
did if they wanted to make sure
a man was okay. So Sophie Laurin

17
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:18.879
asked that a few times to some
men who are knowledgeable about that sort of

18
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.920
thing, And well, the joke
didn't live on that long. But could

19
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:26.799
you imagine if you had Sophi Laurn, a young Sophilurin coming up to you,

20
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:33.519
asking you, how's your bird?
How's your how's your bell and howell?

21
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.760
How's your black and decker? Those
are some great phrases too. Back

22
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:38.400
in the day, you guys even
know what black and decker is? Do

23
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.560
you guys know what bell and howell
is? Probably not? Some of you

24
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:48.040
are way too young. All right, You got like ten more days left

25
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.959
for Christmas. Christmas Eve is the
big holiday for US Italian so we're down

26
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.640
to single digits now in terms of
shopping. I've gotten basically shit done.

27
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.719
Hopefully you're better off than I am, but I can't help it. There's

28
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.239
too much stuff going on, and
I've been glued to my laptop and to

29
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:08.719
my task camera recorder doing shows for
you guys. Don't forget I'd do his

30
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.439
show five times a week. You
gotta go to patreon dot com slash fames

31
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.120
a bitch where you would have heard
some things that I predicted to come true

32
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:21.039
that came true. I've been on
a roll. What can I say,

33
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:24.560
I've been on a roll. Now. I didn't go on a huge limb

34
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:30.319
when I said that Cardib and Offset
would be split within six months. I

35
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.039
said that six months ago. That
came true. But I say a lot

36
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:36.960
of things that come true. I
knew Jonathan major As, who I'll talk

37
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.800
about in a minute, the Marvel
star was a prick before this whole thing

38
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:46.639
happened with the girlfriend. Before he
had this whole altercation with his girlfriend in

39
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.039
the back of that not limousine but
whatever he was being I think a truck.

40
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.319
They were being driven in a sedan
and there was an altercation, and

41
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.759
you know, she got pushed around
a bit and injured. Then when to

42
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.080
go drinking on her own self with
some buddies at some night clubs in Manhattan.

43
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.639
But I saw him the first time
he saw me, was that this

44
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.319
guy's no good. He's a bad
guy. He thinks too highly of himself.

45
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:13.639
Look at his face, I said, one hundred years ago, John

46
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.319
Mayer's half gay, I said,
half a fag. But probably can't say

47
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.680
that anymore, although I just did, and I'm kind of onto that now

48
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:22.960
too. The rest of the world's
joined me. But I'll get to that

49
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:28.360
story in a second. One I
want to talk about first is I said

50
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.280
something on the show the other day
that I guess I didn't know this now

51
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:35.599
I do know a lot. I'm
way ahead of most people, if not

52
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.879
ninety nine percent of people when it
comes to stories and rumors and what have

53
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:44.800
you. But I was never a
big fan of Jim Norton, the comic.

54
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.400
I shouldn't say that. I've always
thought he was funny, but I

55
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:52.840
didn't listen to the Opie and Anthony
show when it was a big hit on

56
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.439
New York's New York Radio. I
was a Howard Stern guy, so I

57
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:01.000
didn't listen to Opie and Anthony.
I've since speak come friendly with Anthony Komia.

58
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:05.439
I've done his podcast several times,
and I spoken to Opie over the

59
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:10.080
last few years. But I didn't
listen to that show when it was hot.

60
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:15.000
I do enjoy going back to YouTube
and watching segments of Jim Norton and

61
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.079
the great comic Patrese O'Neil, and
the two of those guys together on the

62
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:25.120
same episode were just it was comedy
gold. The other day I mentioned is

63
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:30.759
Jim Norton just gonna march around with
this wife who's a transgender, this blonde

64
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.160
woman named Nicki, who really was
a man, and frankly is still a

65
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.240
man because he still kept his bird, kept his bell and howel if you

66
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:43.720
will? I'm like, is everybody
okay with this? Is this a gimmick?

67
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.439
And a lot of my patrons wrote
back on the Facebook pages, and

68
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:53.399
no, there's no gimmick. Jim
Norton has always spoken about him dating transvestites

69
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.879
and hookers and what have you,
and they think it was because maybe it's

70
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:02.439
because he thinks he's not hands enough
to find some really knockout girl or beautiful

71
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:09.279
girl, so he tends to go
that direction. No, I don't buy

72
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.439
that. I think maybe he likes
it in the ass. Has anybody thought

73
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.000
of that? I mean, that's
not a stretch to me, A stretches.

74
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.000
Well, he just can't get pretty
girls to like him, so instead

75
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:23.240
he goes for hookers and transvestites.
No, that's not a natural thing,

76
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.199
guys do Yeah, you want to
get a hooker, you want to go

77
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.920
to a massage parlor. I get
it. You want to drain your vein,

78
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:31.879
you know, every few weeks,
go ahead and do it. I

79
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.519
know plenty of old men who do
it. Young guys who can't get dates

80
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:41.040
do it. Even I had a
friend of mine who wasn't a bad looking

81
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.319
dude, wasn't a fat slob.
He just I could tell he didn't like

82
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:48.199
women, because whenever I had a
date, I'd bring this girl to a

83
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.240
restaurant that all my buddies are at. And he used to always like,

84
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:55.959
if you sit down with me and
my friends Vinnie and Johnny, Bully and

85
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.480
Frankie and Rocco and Anthony and Mario, you get to know this is my

86
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.399
crew, This is all I hang
out with. These are the guys.

87
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:09.680
And if she could sit there with
all that machismo and craziness and get along

88
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:13.800
with their the way they speak,
the way I humor is, then she

89
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.000
can handle me. And I found
that to be great. All the girls

90
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:20.399
I brought to restaurants like that with
my buddies there loved it. Not I

91
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:23.920
didn't do this for hours on end. You know, her and I would

92
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.959
have a nice dinner someplace and I'd
said, let's go to Ago and we'd

93
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.000
sit down. My friends would jump
at the table, shoot the shit for

94
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.000
an hour, then her and I
would leave. But if I knew they

95
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.399
liked her, then she was gonna
be around for a while. One of

96
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:42.360
my buddies I will mention his name, successful producer, but didn't really like

97
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.920
women. He loved beautiful women,
but he couldn't get them, so to

98
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.519
speak, so instead, at the
end of the night, he'd go home

99
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.439
and go I'm gonna call I'm gonna
go on Craiglist. I'm gonna go call

100
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:56.839
a girl and have her come by. And I can never understand that that's

101
00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:00.800
just not anything I've ever done.
Just go home and call an escort so

102
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.480
you can get laid and then go
to bed. That's what some guy.

103
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.399
So I thought, if that's what
Jim Norton is that kind of guy,

104
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:11.480
Okay, then he's not kind of
guy, No big deal. But if

105
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:16.079
he's going for transgenders, then especially
at tranny who still got his bird or

106
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:20.839
his bell and howel, then clearly
he likes to experiment in that fashion.

107
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:25.439
And you know what, I'm not
gonna put him down for that. If

108
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:29.160
he likes it that way, who
am I to say anything bad about the

109
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.319
guy. Everybody's different when it comes
to this sex life. The one thing

110
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:35.040
you don't want to do is look
through someone's window into their bedroom because you'll

111
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.920
see a lot of stuff you probably
don't want to see. But if it

112
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.800
makes those two people happy in that
room, then more power to you.

113
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.680
I don't put anybody down for their
sexual preferences. I'm not putting down Jim

114
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.040
Norton, but I think when people
make the jump of no, he just

115
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:55.399
likes hookers and transvestites more, No, he doesn't. He likes it from

116
00:07:55.439 --> 00:08:00.519
behind. I mean, come on, what are we kidding speaking of from

117
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.920
behind? Is this rumor that's been
circulating around for a while. Something that

118
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:09.800
I said a little while ago about
me always feeling John Mayer was you know,

119
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.199
Well, let's put it this way. I think John Mayer has seen

120
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:18.399
the world from both sides. Yes, he has a string of beauties he's

121
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.839
dated over the years, from Jennifer
Love You with the Jennifer Aniston to Jessica

122
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:28.199
Simpson and on and on. I
mean, his list and lineup of beautiful

123
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.039
women is endless. You got a
good looking that like that who can play

124
00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:35.639
at the guitar like him and sing
like him. Any woman's gonna want to

125
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.519
crawl to your bedroom door, it's
just the way it goes. That's that's

126
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.600
a killer. I mean, Jimmy
Hendricks had women, and he was a

127
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.120
junkie slob who could play this shit
out of a guitar and sing and you

128
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.639
know, yeah, he had a
lineup at his bedroom door out of his

129
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.759
hotel room for his whole life.
But this whole thing about John Mayer and

130
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:03.360
Andy Cohen, the big Bravo producer
and Bravo hosts, being a couple,

131
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.080
that's the new, not new.
They've been friendly for a while, but

132
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.480
their friendship has become so strong and
they've been seeing going out together so many

133
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:16.720
times that people are now saying it's
obvious there a couple, and when are

134
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:18.559
they going to come out, or
what is John Mayer gonna come out?

135
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.879
You know, I always found my
argument that John is, you know,

136
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.759
has one foot on each side of
the line a good argument to make,

137
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.919
especially when I found out years ago
he was out with Jessica Simpson one night.

138
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.320
And this is during the time where
the gossip columnists or gossip blogger Perez

139
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:43.440
Hilton was the king of all gossip
columnists or gossip bloggers, and basically all

140
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.919
he was doing was being bitchy to
women. I don't know how he became

141
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:52.200
popular because he was this gay guy
who was bitchy to pretty girls and all

142
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.720
he was doing was drawing cocks near
their mouth. It was so rude and

143
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:03.519
sophomoric and stupid, and yet he
got invited everywhere. I never can understand

144
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:09.480
that. But one night she's out, Jessica Simpsons out with John Mayer,

145
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.559
and Perez Hilton shows up and John
Mayer knew that. You know, that

146
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.480
was kind of a thorn on her
side because he didn't say so many great

147
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.559
things about her. But that night, John Mayer begins to tell Perez Hilton

148
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:26.519
how much he loves male porn,
watching guys get it on, and in

149
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:30.279
her book, Jessica Simpsons said she
was thoroughly embarrassed by hearing him say this,

150
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.840
But then he took it a step
further and stuck his tongue down Perez

151
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:39.159
Hilton's throat. Why. I don't
know to be outrageous. I've wanted to

152
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.399
be outrageous, and I've been outrageous
in my life, but it never meant

153
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.759
I stuck my tongue down a man's
throat. Even if that man was being

154
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.639
critical of my girlfriend at the time, I'd rather have punch in the head

155
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:56.120
than my tongue down his throat.
That's not what straight men do. So

156
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:00.120
does this shock me that he's with
Andy Collen a lot? No? I

157
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:05.720
mean he's one hundred percent gay.
No, there's stories that there's pictures of

158
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.480
him in Andy Collins East Hampton,
beautiful home of Andy Collens's mother, is

159
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:15.759
steam drying one of John Mayer's dress
shirts, and he's so happy. They're

160
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:22.600
out together constantly. Listen. If
my friend Kevin was still alive, I

161
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:28.080
would have absolutely lived with Kevin as
a roommate. And there was nothing between

162
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.279
him and I sexually, of course
not. But he was such a funny

163
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:37.200
guy and a knowledgeable guy. Loved
loved movies, even could talk sports,

164
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.679
loved to talk about models, knew
all the gossip in town. Because my

165
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.679
friend Kevin was around, he used
to paler around with Andy Warhol when he

166
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:50.480
was in tenth grade. He was
being taken away by counts in Europe on

167
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:56.320
weekend getaways. I mean, Kevin
was dolled out by the Warhol gang.

168
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.840
But as a result, he was
a artistic I shouldn't say as a result.

169
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.759
But he was always an artistic guy
and kid, and a smart one

170
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.720
trust fund kid from Connecticut. Parents
always had money. He always had money

171
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:13.200
to live on and survive. But
he got jobs at Vogue magazine and l

172
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.240
magazine, and he did some movies. He acted in some movies. Kevin

173
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.360
Dornan was a great guy and a
tremendous photographer, because, like Andy Wahhall,

174
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.080
his hero, he carried around a
camera everywhere he went. He died

175
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:30.159
a few years ago, and I
wish I could see all the photos he

176
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.480
took of me and us and my
buddies. But one thing about Kevin,

177
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.120
he took photos. There was always
a camera around his neck. This is

178
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:41.080
way before our cell phones, and
I never saw those pictures. I've seen

179
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.600
a couple, But I would have
lived Kevin in a second. We would

180
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.080
have laughed all night and all day
long. I love cooking, he loved

181
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:52.480
cooking. It would have been great. So I'm not ready to say that

182
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.559
John Mayer and Andy Cohen are knocking
boots. I wouldn't be surprised if they've

183
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.799
tried it, but I don't think
that that's what Andy Cohen wants. I

184
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:05.799
think Andy Collen wants a straight up
gay male right now. It's like fascinating

185
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:09.200
to people to see that both of
them together, But that's not what any

186
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.720
Colin really wants. Any Colin,
more than anything, has been a publicity

187
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.960
hog for a long time. He
loves his name in print, He loves

188
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.080
his face and magazines. He loves
what he's done with the franchise of Real

189
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:26.759
Housewives. Who wouldn't what all the
money he's made from being the guy who

190
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.720
lets women argue and get nasty with
each other. I mean, it's a

191
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.600
hell of a show to put together, to be around women who bitch on

192
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.200
each other, but that's been his
pathway to gold. So I don't think

193
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.320
they're together together, but I think
they could easily live together in harmony for

194
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.759
a good amount of time before John
meets a woman who blows him off his

195
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:54.039
seat or Andy finds a man who
I shouldn't say blows him off his seat.

196
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:56.000
But you get what I mean.
But that's the way. Look,

197
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:01.600
life is so weird now. Life
is so different right now. I don't

198
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.480
want to say since nine to eleven
because we've had so many things since then,

199
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:09.240
but nine to eleven began it began
people thinking differently. It changed.

200
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.639
It didn't just turn a page in
American life and in the world's life.

201
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:18.399
It changed a chapter. We moved
into a new chapter in our lives.

202
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.240
And then COVID happens, and we're
in a completely different chapter. And you

203
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.679
know, you guys know, I'm
not a Biden guy, and I'm not

204
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:31.120
a progressive Democrat guy at all.
But now with those guys sitting in power

205
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:37.840
and Trump facing criminal charges and shit, we're in a completely different realm of

206
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:39.519
our world. I don't know where
we are. We just keep giving money

207
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:46.720
to countries we can't control. Ukraine
is getting hundreds and hundreds of millions on

208
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.399
top of billions you've already sent.
I Meanwhile, guys are walking in meetings

209
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.600
with hand grenads, blowing up rooms. We've given money to Israel, We've

210
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.320
give money to Palestine. All we're
doing is just getting rid of our money

211
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:03.519
and our own calamity here in America. And that's another chapter into my life

212
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.279
in our lives that we have to
deal with. So I think somebody,

213
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.919
I know I'm very fined up today, but I think some of these things

214
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:15.840
we're seeing, like certain relationships come
to a close or relationships being born.

215
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:20.279
I think are because of how much
has happened in the last twenty years.

216
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.399
A lot of people who have to
nine to eleven wanted to get married and

217
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.440
have children. As weird as that
might sound, it changed my outlook.

218
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:31.000
I was single at nine to eleven
and I thought what am I doing?

219
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.360
And when Mamife and I got together
and I got her pregnant six months into

220
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.919
our relationship, I proposed to her
on the spot and lasted twenty years.

221
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:45.320
We have two beautiful kids. But
if nine to eleven hadn't come, I

222
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.200
don't know. Maybe I would have
lived with Kevin and had some fun for

223
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:50.720
the next ten years as Selby before
I was smartened up and tried to find

224
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.000
a woman. But then I might
have been too old. Who knows.

225
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.559
But it's a different world. Look
at everybody's angry and upset. Have you

226
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.639
seen Kanye going off the else again? He doesn't stop Cardi being offset,

227
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.080
the fights they're having. I predicted
they were gonna end, like I said

228
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:14.679
earlier in the show, And now
you got her on video and on Twitter

229
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:18.639
or Instagram or I think Instagram she's
on. Just give it to him because

230
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.240
he's been cheating girlfriend. He's never
not cheated on you. And by the

231
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:26.879
way, she was cheating on him
as well, but of course he's a

232
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:33.000
bigger dog. But the way she
speaks about him, the way Kanye speaks

233
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:37.080
about him and his people, I
know they've they've taken the N word and

234
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:42.440
made it endearing, but I'm sorry. You just cannot keep calling your husband

235
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:47.759
the N word, and Kanye,
you can't call your kids or your ex

236
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:53.000
recording on his friends that word and
expect things to go wildly wonderful after that.

237
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:57.559
It's a horrible word, and so
many black people toss it around like

238
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:06.599
it's nothing. And to hear Cardi
bgo banana is it's just I mean,

239
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:10.960
she's lost her marbles if she ever
thought Offset was at any point loyal to

240
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.400
her. But I have it on
good authority that he was having girls come

241
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:22.319
to his studio once Carti left,
and he was having his fun. And

242
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.160
I know that Carty had a guy
as well, so you know, what's

243
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.799
good for the geese is good for
the gander. But I guess it got

244
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.920
too close to home and Cardi pulled
the plug, at least for now.

245
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.440
But I think it's real. I
don't think she'll be back with him.

246
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:40.039
I think he embarrassed her too much. And that's where we stand right now.

247
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:44.920
But I don't know, is it
just me? Don't you see that

248
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.799
people have had it? People have
just had it, you know what I

249
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.799
mean? It's something even John Fetterman
not to make this political, but John

250
00:17:52.880 --> 00:18:00.440
Fetterman from Pennsylvania has broken from the
progressive left and doesn't want to hear anything

251
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.440
more about the border. He sides
with the right enough with the fucking border.

252
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:07.240
Close it already. And that's not
what these progressives on the left thought

253
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.519
he'd be like. But now that
he's come out of his whatever you want

254
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:14.400
to call it, half a Cooma, whatever he was in, he's starting

255
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.599
to see the right way. So
he's upset. Then the best story I

256
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:23.480
heard all week Megan Kelly. I
told you many months ago that she's going

257
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:27.839
to become so much more vocal to
close. So we get to election day

258
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:32.759
and you saw her host a debate
for News Nation a week or so ago,

259
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:36.680
and I'm telling you she had the
balls to step up and say Donald

260
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:38.960
Trump has lost a few steps.
I admire her for that, because,

261
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:41.759
you know what, as much as
I side with the guy, he has,

262
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:45.680
and it's natural for somebody that age, but he has. He also

263
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:51.640
was much quicker and much more volatile
and more vocal than most men that age.

264
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:55.039
But he definitely is a bit different. But she had the balls to

265
00:18:55.079 --> 00:19:00.079
say it when no other journalist would
say it. Then she went into the

266
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.799
Taylor Swift territory and she has a
lot of Look, it's one thing making

267
00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:11.000
fun of Trump, but you piss
on Taylor Swift. Wow, your life's

268
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:17.000
in jeopardy. But making Kelly's right, Taylor Swift is now the darling of

269
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:21.640
everybody in the world. She's a
billionaire. She's done more for the economy

270
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:25.519
that I don't even know what else
to say. But she made a mistake,

271
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:30.599
and I have to side with Megan
Kelly. She attended a fundraiser Taylor

272
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:37.599
Swift did that provided humanitarian relief to
the people of Gaza. Now, remember,

273
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.640
Taylor Swift was just named the Time
magazine Person of the Year because her

274
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:47.400
aerostour became the first tour to cross
the billion dollar mark. That's not the

275
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:52.200
only reason why. But she had
the nerve, I would say, or

276
00:19:52.240 --> 00:20:00.960
the stupidity to lend that star power
to the stand up comic Raimi Yusef's which

277
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.960
is called More Feelings Tour, and
that made a pit stop at the Brooklyn

278
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:11.440
Academy of Music last week last Friday, but the money from that event went

279
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:22.119
to benefit a non governmental agency called
American Near East Refugee AID. Okay,

280
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.519
Yusef was born in Queens, New
York, and he's doing this tour,

281
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:34.640
but it's too close to benefiting the
people of Palestine, and that's not what

282
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:38.480
you want to be. That's a
third rail right now. I'm shocked by

283
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:44.400
how many people in America, mainly
Gage, mainly women, who think it's

284
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:52.519
cool or somehow right to stand up
for Palestine. We don't want innocent people

285
00:20:52.640 --> 00:21:00.640
killed, but we want everybody in
Hamas destroyed. But Megan Kelly went after

286
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.640
Taylor Swift like nobody's ever done it, and she needs it. She said

287
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:10.240
that Taylor ows Israelis and Jewish Americans
an apology and that they should boycott her

288
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:15.400
events until she issues some sort of
apology because attending that fundraiser was wrong.

289
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:21.000
She's got to be held to account
for what a lot of people would think

290
00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:25.799
is an absurd decision. You know, I get it. I got a

291
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:29.319
girlfriend who loves Taylor Swift, and
she's had me sit down and listen to

292
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.200
her music, and I admit she's
a fantastic songwriter. I like a lot

293
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.000
of her songs. I don't walk
around singing her songs. Ever, I've

294
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:41.799
never hummed a Taylor Swift tune,
but the songs I've been told to listen

295
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:47.119
to I've liked. But again,
I can't call myself a fan, but

296
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:51.400
I do understand why teenage girls or
women in general would like a lot of

297
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:56.559
her music. But you know,
pop stars who stand up and do events

298
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.880
like this have to understand the ramifications
of this. They have no political wisdom.

299
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.240
And Megan Kelly basically told her to
shut up and sing. Okay,

300
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.759
we all know that she's got this
big romance with the Kansas City Chiefs Travis

301
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.759
Kelcey. Some people call it bullshit. I don't call it bullshit, but

302
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:21.880
it is overly publicized. But there
she is in attendance, and this is

303
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:30.000
a very highly political fundraiser and it
presents a very highly biased view of the

304
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:36.160
Israel and Palestine war. And I
think that's a major mistake she made.

305
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:45.960
You know, it's not considered fun
for anybody who's Israeli or anybody who sides

306
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:52.160
with Israel. To see Taylor Swift
do anything about the people on that side

307
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:55.920
of the world, she ought to
keep her mouth shut. This is me

308
00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:02.759
talking now because listen, Taylor Swift
has a lot of fans who are gay

309
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:10.039
and female. She knows this.
Does she know what Hamas does to women

310
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:17.000
who are from Western culture, or
what they do to transgenders, or what

311
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:22.079
they do to gays and lesbians.
She must know, and if she knew,

312
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:25.960
she'd never go. But she's not
the only idiot who lent her name.

313
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:29.519
Selena Gomez, who now goes to
the opening of a fucking envelope.

314
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:36.279
She was there, Anya Taylor,
Joy, Zoe Kravitz, Cara Delvine,

315
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:38.440
who was a junkie and a half
a few months ago. Now she's shown

316
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:45.200
up everywhere, all cleaned up,
Taylor Swift. People have to understand this.

317
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.480
You moms and dads at home who
buy the albums. What's the album

318
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.079
called nineteen eighty seven? Is that
the big one they hear she was born?

319
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.440
I think that's the one. You
parents have to understand this. Taylor

320
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:03.599
Swift supports the March for a Lives
movement and gun control reform. She's a

321
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:07.480
vocal critic of white supremacy, which
I haven't seen. I see a lot

322
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.400
of black on black crime and black
on white crime, I don't really see

323
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.640
white supremacy. She was there for
the George Floyd protest. In other words,

324
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:19.680
she liked that junkie and really thought
that shouldn't have happened to him.

325
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:26.079
What happened, even though he was
chewing and eating his fentanyl and had methnfetamine

326
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:27.640
in his body and was going to
die of a heart attack. Anyhow,

327
00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:33.400
She donated to Black Lives Matter,
which is a big sham from the word

328
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:37.039
go, which I said it was. And she called for the removal of

329
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.960
monuments Confederate monuments in Tennessee, and
she advocated for June teenth to become a

330
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:47.319
national holiday. And worst of all, in my book, she endorsed Joe

331
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:51.599
Biden and Kamala Harris. And she
openly criticizes Donald Trump. You want to

332
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:53.759
criticize Trump, there's a lot you
can say bad about him. I get

333
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:56.880
it, But you can't tell me
this country's in better shape than it was

334
00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:02.880
four or five, six, seven
years ago. Bullshit. You want to

335
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:06.400
say she's an incredible songwriter, I
agree. She's a good singer, yes,

336
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:14.359
a good performer absolutely, but not
very smart about politics or economics or

337
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:21.680
anything outside of this world. She
lives in the Hollywood world of illusionary fandom,

338
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:27.759
if you will. She's great about
singing about love and heartbreak and teenage

339
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:37.240
rivalries and all that shit. That's
her element. But stay away from political

340
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:45.880
fundraisers of any type, especially those
that have to do with the people in

341
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:52.519
the Gaza strip. You cannot have
your name attached to anything that's anywhere near

342
00:25:52.599 --> 00:26:00.880
Palestine and worse Hummas. Okay,
that's it. Taelst's gonna get knocked around

343
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:04.519
for this, and she should.
She's lived a charmed life so far.

344
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:08.799
But she needs to get knocked around
for this, making Kelly's right. So

345
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:14.839
in this case, I support her
anger. I even support Cardib's anger.

346
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:19.680
I have a lot more to say
on Jonathan Major's and his girlfriend, of

347
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:25.559
the whole legal situation. I have
inside information about that. I will talk

348
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:32.599
more about what I know about cardib
an offset and look, I'm breaking I'm

349
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:34.680
breaking stories left and right. So
I know it's Christmas. You guys are

00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:38.559
