What it is, it's Tyrus, and welcome to the Black Zone edition of Gutfeld. I don't have a reason for that other than I really like my fore. So, now, and of course, since I've set up the black zone, I can now start the show five minutes late. That's a black joke, not allowed to laugh. Now we're on, now we're nice and uncomfortable. All right, let's go. Let's welcome tonight's guest. He worked for the NYPD back when they still arrested criminals, former New York Police Department inspector, Falmorrow.

She packs more heat than a suitcase full of Duraflame. Townhall.com editor and Fox News contributor, Katie Padless. She's more fun than losing your virginity. Host of Kennedy Saves the World podcast, Kennedy. He was the intellectual savior of the masses and the king of kicking asses. wrote that for you, wasn't me. Actor, pro wrestler, and co-hosts of Tyrus and the Wiseman podcast, the one and only

Aaron Haddad. Love it. Time for mock it and move on. First up, according to a new poll, one in five young Americans say they have a positive view of Osama bin Laden. Yeah, well, the last time,

hold on, hold on. The last time we as Americans, had a positive view of Osama bin Laden, it went click, click, bang. So let's not to be so quick. Aaron, I'm going to start with you. Can you believe this? The problem is with the people that are students in learning in these institutions, they are being taught, you know, the wrong facts about the country.

And there's a war on history. I believe that, you know, a lot of facts are being omitted because we don't want to offend anybody. And in doing so, it is taking away the ability to think critically and make decisions and judge for yourself. And that's what we're starting to see now. This is an alarming statistic and, uh, well, to Aaron's point, do you think it's just that everyone just reads the cover? You know, me and Kennedy, we're talking on her podcast, or did you check out, we're talking on her podcast about how like no one goes beyond the first, like the 140 characters on on the old school Twitter is about as far as deep someone goes into history.

now. And that's why you think you're seeing these ridiculous things where they have no idea even who this person is. Well, most young people weren't born during 9-11. They have no recollection of it happening. They don't know anybody who was directly affected by it. They weren't alive the day it happened. They don't remember like I do turning on the TV and watching people jumping out a building as in what that meant for the country. And all the friends you know who joined the military right after that, who went overseas, many of them killed or injured for life, who came back as a result of what Osama bin Laden did. But I have an idea for these young folks so they can get some more historical perspective and interesting information

about this. They can go to Afghanistan now. One way ticket, just spend some time there, see what it's like. You know, experience the luxuries that places like Afghanistan and people who agree with Osama bin Laden and maybe figure out how they're treated there, especially the women, you know, just to go see. Maybe go to Pakistan, who was harboring him for so many years and see what it's like there, you know, just go spend some time. And then maybe they will change their opinion about this person. Because it doesn't line up with their world view. No. And just to let them know, when they get to the places like Afghanistan or Gaza, there will be safe spaces provided for them. Underground. Underground. You know what I mean.

And an HR department. They have an HR department over there and everything. They love pronouns, too. And they have a plug on every corner to plug your phone in so you don't As soon as you land in Afghanistan, you have to say, I'm a Z-Zer, and they will take you to a very special place. Yeah. You know, when you hear this, do you look at like where our country's in trouble? One in five. It's not the worst number. It's like one in five.

It's not a great number, though. It's not great, yeah. I like like one in a million. This is the problem with following Katie Pavlitz on a panel, because she just said everything I was going to say, all right, which is exactly accurate. All of these people who think this. First of all, I think some of them are so uneducated. They hear Osama, they think it's Obama. Right.

All right, sincerely. No, no, no. You know what? I would not be surprised. Oh, you're talking about the president? You know, they don't even realize Osama bin Laden was a guy, you know? So I think it goes to what you were saying about education. Look, I was there, all right?

For 9-11, I got down there. I was on a job at the time. I spent a lot of time down there, a number of months. I tried to join the military. I was too old afterwards. So, you know, this hits home for me. And I remember doing, I went into kind of terrorism. That was the alternate workaround for somebody who wanted to really be involved.

And I was fortunate enough that I had enough purchase there and enough experience that I could get there and do that work, which at the time felt like the most important work. And I can remember being picketed against and being told I was disgusting, that was the quote, from people who had been six years old during 9-11. And now, as you know, as you mentioned, a lot of them weren't even born. So to them it's a cartoon. and it doesn't really resonate. They have no idea what they're talking about. All you can really hope is a nation to go to your point is that they grow out of it

because I think a lot of it at this point is just to be cool. And I'd like to think they're just trying to find an identity. They're trying to be anti. It's part of youth. The problem is, I don't know what they characterize as young people here, but these days young means you're under 40.

And if you're 38 and you're a producer on MSNBC and you still believe this crap, the country is in trouble. Is it, Kennedy, because we both have kids, You always have that only kid who wants to be cool and just say the most outlandish thing for everyone to notice them. Do you think they saw this poll and be like, oh, I like them? Do you think for the shock value more than the substance? Well, it's interesting because rebelling now is something very different than it was when we were kids.

And I knew my girls were going to be okay because, you know, in New York City public schools, there's a lot of propagandizing, which happens. It's a virus on college campuses. I knew my girls were going to be okay when they started watching South Park. And I'm not kidding, because they were making fun of everything. And nothing was sacred because everything is deemed sacred on college campuses. And also, everything is oversimplified. So the idea that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

So, you know, who is the enemy of Osama bin Laden? Well, the West and the Jews. So there's so much anti-Semitism on college campuses now. And now it is just bald-faced. It is unabashed. They have no problem telegraphing that to the world. You know, look at what happened with those three college presidents when they went before Congress. You know, shame on them for not pushing back on this.

And it is a miracle that Claudine Gay still has a job. But the fact that this virulent strain of anti-Semitism is just running rampant through college campuses, so the enemy of their enemy is their friend. And that's how they see Osama bin Laden. So you combine that oversimplification in colleges with, you know, the reduction to five seconds on TikTok, and you have a very dangerous environment. So you just have to hope the new radicals are the ones who become conservatives in high school because that's the only way of pushing back. Well, listen to this one. A Los Angeles man is determined to get Donald Trump's star removed from Hollywood's Walk of Fame.

not defaced or demolished, but permanently removed. The problem is that's never been done before. So why should we start it now, Paul? I'm sure Donald Trump is really concerned about his name being removed from a sidewalk that he shares with Charlie Sheen. Right. Right. Who cares? It's not a blip in the world to this guy. And you know what? There'll be a few years from now, as I was saying earlier, somebody is going to be walking along that street in L.A.

and they're going to say, what are all of these stars? And somebody's going to say, oh, they're actors. And they're going to say, what's an actor? Because of the AI thing. I just won't let it go. Thanks, Paul. I'm not going to let it go. Sorry.

So the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a historical record of big stars in Hollywood. So I'm not surprised that after they gone through statues and all that, that now we have to remove Donald Trump, the worst man to ever walk the planet from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, while we leave Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein and all kinds of other people who maybe should be removed if we're going to start doing that.

But it also reminds you of how much Hollywood loved Donald Trump before he ran for office. They loved him. They still secretly love him. He was in movies. You know, Melania was on the cover of Vanity Fair. All these people went to their wedding. He's in a lot of rap songs.

Yeah. He's fighting in a lot of rap songs. So they loved him. until he ran for president, and they all turned on him. And it's absurd that he's the only one they want to take off of this historical record of Hollywood. They have to use snow plows to clean the human poop off the sidewalks in Hollywood. Like, they have much bigger problems. Yeah, that's true.

Break it off. Thank you. And can you imagine what it's going to cost with those unions? It'll be six weeks of work. You know, it'll cost $100,000. 100. This is L.A. No, uh, 1.5 million. Yeah, exactly.

That's for each triangle of the star to take. I mean, you've paved the streets. Your goal is to get a star. Let me just riddle you with this. What if the only way your star goes in is if they pulls his out? Do you, are you a, do you take it? Do you take Trump's star?

Stare at him. Well, I mean, in that case, you know, hey, I'm, yes, if it's my own person. But that's not going to happen. No, but I think in all seriousness, Look, if you were to take a walk down the Walk of Fame, and I don't recommend it, by the way, I've lived in L.A. for five years and not the nicest place in the world, but you're not exactly going to find a list of people who are up for Sainthood. And I think, you know, to Kennedy's

point, where you go there, and that is the pinnacle. When you go to L.A., you know, the Chinese theater and the Walk of Fame and all these things, and yet there are just vagrants and vagabonds. people relieving themselves in front of the Chinese theater as families are trying to take pictures and this is what we're worried about. That's the equivalent to going to the hospital with a gunshot wound and a hang nail and then the doctors saying, oh my God, get the nail clippers. Yeah, that's about right. I grew up in L.A. too, and the streets used to be a lot. Like, you can actually see a star. Now you just have to take their word for it that there are stars buried somewhere underneath their safe space, re-encamp, defund the police.

Zone. Up next, left-wing Baldies can't disagree more. Well, who will win in 24? All right, don't go anywhere. We'll be right back. This episode is brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

The only thing Democrats love more than censorship is untraceable gold bars. Said Federman, quote, I'll use this as another opportunity to tell James Carvel to shut the

quote, fuck up. Like I said, my man hasn't been relevant since grunge was a thing. And I don't know why he believes it's helpful to say these kind of things. about an incredibly difficult circumstance with an incredibly strong and decent, excellent president. Man, he rehabbed well, didn't he? Longest quote ever. An incredibly strong and decent president. His eyes have not cut up yet. Okay.

Somebody get Federman back on the concussion protocol. He's had a relapse. And let's be honest, should he really be talking about grunge? He looks like he has in base as Kirk Cobain was. still alive. Sorry, Kennedy. Oh, well, whatever. Never mind. Kennedy, this new

Fetterman, whether you like him or don't like him, at least he's talking. He's got old popcorn beat on that one. He's just speaking his mind. He won't stop talking. Filter be damned. Yeah, I was a little worried about him. I know he was using an AI program to help him translate in the Senate.

I think that he had a brain chip inserted when he was off in his rehabilitative process, and now he worships the president. Like, there are a lot of adjectives you can use about Joe Biden. Excellent, strong? Not two of them. No, and the president can't say those words either.

Absolutely right. Exa, exa. Salmona don't want a ding-d-dong. Aaron, what do you make of this trash talking? Well, again, I mean, you know, trash talking is something that we're definitely familiar with. And with Federman, a few weeks ago, he appeared to kind of change his mind. and the new one appeared to be working a little better. Yeah.

But now we have just disintegrated into what he is now. And in my issue with this, it's the language, right? I mean, aside from the fact that Federman, I mean, his dress code is completely non-existent. I mean, he wears the hoodies, the... But he just got broke up with. Yeah, he looks like the love child of Dr. Phil and Paul Bunyan with the little knitcap on and everything. He's... But the language, my man.

Like, is he trying to connect with what he thinks? the American public is and be cool? Or I'm not getting it. Or maybe he thinks James Carville is a brother. I mean, he could be. He's light-skinned as possible. He's from Louisiana. Everyone looks like me in Louisiana.

Seriously, check it out. What do you make of all this? You know, they sort of occupy the same psychic territory, right? They're bald-headed liberal cooks, and so they're going to have a rivalry. The old line about Carville looking like a talking garlic knot. Yeah. I think he's actually, you know, accurate here.

And so I don't know what that makes, Fetterman. But the difference here, I, sincerely, is that. Okay. Carville, he can say what he wants, but listen, Carville doesn't need an AI program to talk. God bless him. Federman had a stroke on the campaign trail. Everybody knows who's ever dealt with that, and many of us have, you know, have had relatives, et cetera.

You need immediate treatment and it has to be ongoing. Otherwise, you don't entirely come back. Instead, they pushed him out onto the campaign trail, and they kept him out there. And that's why the poor guy needs a computer to still talk. Carville is smart. Say what you want. I'm not on his team, but he's a smart guy, and he's won a lot of stuff. The Democrats, it would behoove them to listen to Carville and not Fetterman.

But in that interview, they asked him, what about you for president in 2028? And after the satellite delay, and he's playing with the computer and everything else, he said something like, never say never. So, strap in, he thinks he can be president. Well, Gavin Newsom will not like that. Actually, he hit Newsom in the interview because he sees him his arrival. There you go. Are you concerned at all about the Federman train coming in 2028?

Well, John Federman owes Joe Biden because when he was on the campaign trail, Joe Biden went out in campaign for him and used a lot of his infrastructure to get him over the finish line and into public office. So that, you know, he's going to defend Joe Biden. For him to say that Biden is strong, okay, he's using the short stack of stairs to get into Air Force One everybody. Like, everyone can watch that. Those are usually for Gutfeld. Usually, yes, but not tonight. And the other thing is he calls him a decent, excellent person.

This is a man who denied his granddaughter for four years that she even existed. That is not a decent person when you're denying that fact and it's covered up for his, you know, degenerate son who has asked him to hide that fact in their family. And the politics of it is that he is the most unpopular president in modern times. At this point, in Trump's presidency, he was at 45%. Biden's at 39%. Barack Obama was at 43%. Again, Biden's at 39%.

And he's never out there. Like, he's away. He's at the beach again for this week. He doesn't talk to the press. He relies on his staff to make his message for him, and that's not resonating with the American people. No, it's not. So he isn't in big political trouble.

And I know everyone says, well, he's going to stay on the ballot, but there is the convention. And Gavin Newsom is an option for them in August. One of the points you made, if someone's decent and excellent, you don't have to say both. That's true. He's excellent. Or he's decent. But even decent is like C student.

You're a decent guy. Like, you won't rob a bank, but you won't tell me if I drop my wallet either. Like decent. Fair. All right. Greg says thank you. Thank you to Paul Morrow. Katie Pablish, Kennedy, Aaron Haddad.
