The world is still reeling from the horrific aftermath of the mass slaughter at Bondai Beach in Sydney, Australia. But the story that we're tracking closely right now, what the heck is happening in Providence, Rhode Island at Brown University. We do not have a suspect it has been apprehended in the slaughter of Brown University students. Is there just gross in confidence or potentially something a lot more nefarious than that we were talking about that we'll be talking
about twenty twenty eight. We're talking about the horrific murder of Rob Reiner and macan Kelly. Our not so friendly friend, Megan Kelly is doubling down on stupidity yet again. All that and much more in Sday's episode of The Josh Amershall We welcome back everyone. I was in Washington, d C. For the past a couple of days. I'll get to
that in just a minute. A couple of wonderful honka parties there the nation's capital, at the Vice President's Naval Observatory at his home on Monday evening and then at the White House on Yesterday afternoon.
And while I was in DC, the talk of the town.
Like literally the talk on the street in a lot of the gatherings that I was attending. Was this interview, this eleven hour massive sit to and interview that White House jew staff Susie Wiles did with Vanity Fair, all sorts of opinions that are flying around. What was Susie Wyles thinking is actually as bad as it looks? What is going on here? We're gonna make it an editorial
decision today. We're actually not going to talk about that for the very simple reason that there are more pressing stories, for the very simple reason that there are more pressing things that are happening that are affecting you, the listener in the viewer, that are affecting me, and that are
affecting all of us. So if you, if you really want the super duper inside Beltway Baseball Baseball, we will occasionally cover that here on the show, but we try to keep it at the level of the more practical things that will affect your day day life and that will affect all of our day to day lives as well. So on that note again, this horrific massacre down in Sydney, Australia over the Wee weekend, yet the latest instance of radical Islamic terrorism. We have more examples than we can
possibly count it as. Yet another reminder is if you needed more reminders, that you may have forgotten conveniently about radical Islamic terrorism. Yes, it has been now over twenty four years since September eleventh, two thousand and one. It has been considerably longer since various other mass Islamic slaughters, things like the bay Rout Barracks bombings committed by Iranian sponsored has Bola actors back in nearly nineteen eighties there.
So you may have forgotten all about radical Islamic terrorism, but radical Islamic terrorism has absolutely not forgotten about you. And I was just seeing footage earlier today on TV of the funeral that is being held in Siny, Australia, that we've had the first funerals now for the thus far fifteen who have been slaughtered. By the way, some new details coming out of some of the stories of some of the folks, not just who were slain, but who are injured. But this is this one sort just
just really stuck with me. There's this couple of Russian Jewish couple. They were there for the for the Hanukkah celebration. They they try to storm one of the attackers and try to tackle him, and unfortunately they were fatally wounded.
There just the just incredible valor and courage and amidst the unspeakable heartbreak and the tragedy of moments like this, of stories like this, the Bondai Beach, Sinney, Australia massacre, the silver lining is that there is there are always amazing stories of human beings who are doing amazing things there and.
That that that, above all is what I try to think about.
But certainly for those who were murdered very much, including the rabbi there at the Hubbad of Bondai Beach who had his funeral early earlier today, certainly indeed may their memory not just be a blessing, but as we say in Judaism, for the for the Jewish slain, may their
blood be avenged as well. But speaking of radicals Loamic terrorism, the real thing that I am currently wondering, I think a lot of folks are wondering right now, is is there a massive cover up when it comes to radical Islamic terrorism that's currently happening at a into American Ivy League University campus. Now, these synings out there in the audience might say, Oh, Josh, what are you doing. Oh you're you're just asking questions. Josh, You're hardly any better
than the folks that you love to criticize. Tucker Carlson canvas owens, I want to be want to be very clear here about what I am saying and what I am not saying. What we've been critical of, what we will continue to be critical of is deliberate, deliberate brain rot. Deliberate brain rot when it comes from people who have a microphone, who look into a camera and talk as I'm doing right now. What we are critical of is quote unquote just asking questions when there are not legitimate
questions to be asked. So, for instance, when it comes to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there's plenty of legitimate questions to talk about when it comes to the Utah Valley University Campus Police Force. Indeed, the former head of Charlie's own security detail how they sit down with Sean Ryan recently and showed some very troubling test messages about the lack of response of the Utah Value University Police Force.
It's properly securing the rooftop where Tyler Robinson was. But that's very different asking questions about whether the campus police adequately patrolled and secured the area, which they didn't seem to do. That is very different than all the stupid tinfoil had hyper conspiratorial garbage that you were hearing there at about the French intelligence or is Israel and massade
or God forbid me? Or Erica Kirk or Andrew Colvit, Mikey McCoy, various turning upon USA staffers, this stupid canvas owens crap about the Egyptian planes, that's what we criticize. There is no reason as of now what so freaking ever to have any doubt as to whether or not the man that they have arrested, Tyler Robbinson. It may he be executed post tastes, assuming that he is found guilty of the crimes which he seems to have clearly committed.
In my view, there is no reason of doubt whether or not he committed the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk.
None. And if you were a.
Quote unquote just asking questions about that, that you are trying to deceive your viewers and you are trying to rob their brain. You're trying to make them lose touch with reality. You're trying to make them lose any any semblance of the discernments between right and wrong, truth and fiction, facts and lies, the basic mortal, intellectual and logical discernments
that make us human in the first place. That is what we are critical of is when people have a platform and they are rotting your brains because they want to do so for purposes of market share or market capture because it better suits their hyper conspiratorialism. If your brain just goes to mush and you try a bunch of a bunch of brain cells, that's what we're critical of.
What we're not critical of is in a case like Brown University where it's been days now, it's been four days, and there's no suspect, no one who's been charged, and there's a lot of suspicion.
Yeah, we're allowed to ask questions.
Then we're allowed to ask questions if they rest someone and the evidence appear a face valued to look overhalling like he did it. That's different or not there yet. So I want to just clarify that distinction. So let's talk a little bit about what is happening, or perhaps more accurately, what is not happening at Brown University. So we briefly cover this on Monday Show. So horrific, horrific
tragedy at Brown University's campus in Providence, Rhode Island. Over the weekends, there was a review session for the final exam of an economics course of what sounds to me like an introductory economics course, probably primarily for freshman maybe
some sophomores, titled Principles of Economics. And you had at least two students who were murdered during this shooting that took place this in this academic hall in Providence, Rhode Islands, at least nine others who were wounded, potentially potentially more than that, And initially they did within the first twenty four Thirstay's hours, they did arrest somewhat if memory serves, his name was Benjamin Erickson, I believe from Wisconsin, but
mister Erickson has since been released, which which is kind of similar to what happened the immediate aftermath of Charlie assassination of your call, the local authorities and the FBI initially brought in someone who was released, So this this bears some similarity to that now, as we also mentioned at least in passing in our show a couple of days ago on Monday, one of the things that immediately leapt off the page of me speaking of the horrific
rise nanty Semitism and left wing and Islamist violence frankly against everyone, but perhaps above all against Jews and those who sympathized with Jews, such as the saughder of the Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, d C. Back in May,
and too many examples to account. One of the things that leapt off the page for me when I was reviewing the initial details of this horrific tragedy in Providenforode Island was the fact that the that the teacher who was not actually present at the final examiner whose session, but the teacher is named Rachel friedburg which is about
is Jewish sounding a name as possible. Now, Rachel Freedburke is not just a professor of economics at Brown, she's also a faculty associate in the program for Judaic Studies at Brown. So that's one of things that left off the page to me. In eventually, another thing that you can't help, but notice is that one of the two slang students horrifically, horrifically is the former vice presidents of College Republicans at Brown University, a beautiful young nineteen year
old girl. We're talking here about Brown University. This is infamously one of the most liberal university campuses in America.
You know, when I was in high school. When I was in high.
School, I actually did a three week sleep away program at Brown University was one of the I think was only second university campus I ever suffered the dorms of I did a baseball camp at the US Military Academy of West Points when I was a kid. So I did this program at Brown, and even there, just for refuse of the summer, you could a sentence as to how rapidly left wing this campus is. I didn't even apply for college essentially for that reason. Alone is infamously
left wing school. So the number of students, especially fast forwarding from when I was there twenty years ago at ever until now, the number of students who are proud openly identifying conservatives, let alone being involved in College Republicans, You're talking about a vanishingly few a vanishingly small percentage. So I think a lot of folks are also not unreasonably answering about the possible targeting of this tragically slain
young College Republicans vice president as well. Now, let's first stipulate this. Let's first stipulate that it is embarrassing. It is, if nothing else, embarrassing, and reeks of grossing competence, grossing competence. That they don't have anyone currently arrested, that is, that there is not anyone currently arrested, That there is not anyone who is actually currently charged. It's frankly, just utterly outrageous. Now, there are twelve hundred there's an estimated twelve hundred cameras
around Brown University campus. There was footage that I was watching this morning of the person who was heavily suspected to be the Leegis Shaater running about one minute after the nine to one one call was placed give them. This took place on the university campuses. Nine one one is probably called within seconds of non minutes of the actual shots being fired there. And you know, I mean, like, what the heck is happening? I mean, like what the actual heck is happening?
Here, and you know.
Reporters actually, for what it's worth, there are some local reporters that are starting to get a little ANTSI shall we say four days and then there's no one charge there. So there are some reporters actually who are now calling out local officials to their face about not having the actual footage of the Round University shooter. Go ahead and watch this.
There was a major addition put on that building within the last five years or so, that that is a modern building attached to a much older one.
In the back.
So it doesn't come as a surpriice to me at least that there are cameras in the newer part of the building and there is video footage. Okay, so there's the back part of the building, old part.
In front part, new part.
The shooting occurs in the old part towards the back up towards Oak Street, and that older part of the building. There are fewer, if any cameras in that location, I imagine because it's.
An older building, all right.
So it's an older building. This barely passes the laugh test.
Again.
There are twelve hundred cameras on Brown University's campus.
Twelve hundred. That's a lot of cameras.
I don't need to be the one to tell you that that is a lot of cameras to make this considerably worse, and to start tying it into radical Islam, which is becoming one of the most recurring late motifs here of the Josh Hammer Show. This is where it
starts to get really, really suspicious. Brown University has been involved in mass deleting a series of puff pieces of celebratory articles on their website, Brown dot eedu or whatnot that relates to a certain student, a foreign born student by the name of Mustafa karbuch From pronouncing that correctly, I don't particularly care him, not, to be honest with you, this student is a foreign born national of Palestinian Arab descent.
He was noted for participating heavily in the Hamas and kanmts after October seventh, and he wrote an article declaring the need for a violence rebellion against both the Little Sadan of Israel and the Great Satan of the United States. Someone has also deleted this individual's ex account. Now again it's not just his x though it's actually his. There's articles of this guy at the Brown University website itself. So I'm looking at the I'm looking right now at
this old web archive. Meet our student assistants, Mustafa Karboo's class of twenty twenty seven, a first year of student considering concentrating and international and publiciers. They were touting him, and they were touting him because this guy was a
perfect intersectional mix. They were breaking the fact that that he was a queer, a queer Palestine activist, a third generation Palestinian refugee, which, by the way, is a load of bs because they define quote unquote refugee there in the land of Israel as being someone who was the grandson or the great grandson, the great grandson of people who lived there prior to nineteen forty eight. It's a
load of bs. The United Nations quite literally has two separate definitions of what it means to be refugee, one for the entire rest of the world, one for Arabs who happened to live between the river and the sea as it goes. But hold that aside from now. So, this guy Carbooch is a quote unquote queer Palestine activist, a third generation Palestinian quote unquote refugee who's actually raised in Lebanon. He is a noted free Palestine and an
LGBTQ activist who has preferred pronouns. He has preferred pronouns as well, So he's the kafia clad preferred pronoun free Palestine, rainbow Jihad kind of guy. And wait, it actually gets even more suspicious now that Brown is to lean this guy's web pages, his his Twitter account has mysteriously disappeared. It actually gets even more suspicious than that. The FBI has indeed positively identified that the weapon that was used here in the Brown University slaughter was a nine millimeter
fire a nine millimeter handgun last year. So internet sleuth dug this up, and it's pretty good internet sleuthing. If you go to a website called Wing Tactical, which is a firearms accessory website, someone with the US name of Mustafa k. Hmm sounds all familiar to Mustafa Carbooch.
Okay.
So on this website Wing Tactical, someone with the username of Mustafa K gave a five star review to a Breek Arms nine millimeter muzzle break. The same reviewer is a verified purchaser, per the website's own records of this muzzle break. Okay, I mean, that's now starting to get really, really suspicious. So Brown University pulls down all the articles
this guy is a radical, radical leftist. His Twitter account mysteriously disappears, and he also left it appears like he left a review for a nine millimeter firearm accessory, where we know per the FBI that actually was the weapon of choice here. So at this point, is it's starting your mind shot to start to race. Here are we looking at a cover up?
Again?
This is not Tucker Candice, just asking questions. This is the value of that one of the most left wing universities in the world, and they have a student who is the personification, the embodiment of intersectionality of the left wing mind virus that has been the dominant thing of leftist campus activism for years now, and they're mysteriously vanishing this guy, maybe just maybe because they're not willing to
confront the fact that this guy maybe did this. So the president of Brown University, Chris Christina Packson, was actually asked about this and didn't seem particularly forthright. Go ahead and watch this.
I believe some web pages for students or factor's been taken down. Is that a response to any external press at anyone in the community.
We have been working very closely with law enforcement to provide them with all of the internal to Brown information that they need to do this investigation. It's their investigation. They're the professionals, so we're providing information. We're not in the job of reviewing it for them. I know nothing about web pages being taken down as part of this.
It's the first I've heard of it.
Very difficult to take that at face value, very difficult to listen to what President Paxson is saying and to actually believe that. Again, to the local reporters, to the local Providence of Island Press Corps credit, they're starting to get a little ANTSI now as they're starting to see, by the way, the Attorney General of Rhode Island, to add another pieces puzzle, the police chief looks wildly incompetent
there in Province Rhode Island. The president of Brown University looks less than forthcoming, while Mustafa car Brooch's web pages are being deleted, while his ex account is mysteriously disappearing, and so forth. There the Attorney General of Rhode Island, a member the name of Peter Narona, is not exactly coming across particularly well here, either go ahead and watch
this final clip. So the video of a chody came from inside the building, and that's all we have at the moment now, and so we have at this moment, okay, so it's from the occident.
Both inside and outside. I'm sorry, I'm just outside.
That's what we have.
That was actually the police chief there of Providence. But they can't they can't even get their basic facts straights.
The police chief is literally told, as you just saw there on live television, the police chief is told to retract this statement that there's footage from inside the building there Again, as I mentioned, the Attorney General of Rhode Island, this guy in my name of Peter and Rona actually ends up snapping at a reporter when he is asked about the removal of this guy carbage profile.
So he snaps.
The president of university packs and we just saw is being less and forthcoming. What a disaster, what an absolute disaster. And if you ask me what's going on here, I think I have to conclude, per Ockhams Raiser per the general notion that the simplest explanation is more often than not the most likely answer. That there looks like there was probably a cover up happening here. I mean, this is incompetence on top of obfuscation. It fits the narrative
just so perfectly. Again, I'm not gonna include anything. We're not doing a canvas Owen's like an amateurish conspiratorial sleuthing exercise. I'm just telling you what we know right now so you can arrive at your conclusion. But it looks to me that if I were to make a guess, frankly, that Brown has evolved in some sort of mild cover up, some sort of mild half assed cover up, because they do not want the truth to get out, or at least there are certain actors who are uncomfortable with the
truth getting out. How could it just be how can it all be an accident where this guy's celebratory articles disappear while he's leaving some five star review for the nine millimeters five arm accessory. Really, I mean, it just doesn't add up. It doesn't app I hope you get answers and we will continue to track this story.
But it's really really bad.
By the way, speaking of horrific left wing radicals who appear to be motivated by some variety of Islamist ideology. Another thing that we haven't covered yet is that the FBI and the DOJAY finally well not finally, but they thankfully expose they thankfully and arrested for defendants for what was set to be a series of orchestrated New Year's
Eve bombings. Now, these New Year's Eve bombings, by which you had folks who were who are planning to to to plant bombs and IED's improvised explosive devices.
There.
They're part of a group called the Turtle Island Liberation from Now, maybe you're not super deep down the left wing rabbit hole, and kudos to you if you are not, because there was nothing good down there. Frankly, Turtle Island is apparently, I can't say this with a straight face, The Turtle Islands apparently. What these these intersectional idiots refer to the continent of North America because the very word America America is colonialists, because it's downstream of America Vespucci
and European settlers colonials. So they call this this massive rock aka like the Americas, like the Western Hemisphere. They call this rock that were on Turtle Islands. Okay, I
mean beyond stupid whatever. So this radical left wing anarchist group called Turtle Island Liberation Front, which is far left, anti governments, anti capitalism, pro communism, pro quote unquote Palestine from the river to the sea, all this crowd, they're preparing to conduct a series of bombings against multiple targets in Los Angeles and potentially even New York City or New Orleans on New Year's Eve. Pambodi is saying, this is an incredible effort by our US Attorney's offices and
the FBI to ensure Americans can live in peace. So, you know, pretty much matter where you slice him, it seems like the religion and peace and the religion and pieces adherents, acolytes and fellow travelers, including a lot of the useful idiots who do not necessarily subscribe to Mohammedism's tenets but are happy to put on the cathia, make themselves useful idiots for a lot of the Islamist agiprop
They're causing damage. They are wreaking havoc and causing damage from Bondai Beach to Australia down under to what God forbid, what was to have been Los Angeles and quite possibly, it seems at Brown University as well. When this country will have a serious earnest reckoning with the toxic, horrific overlap of Islamization and immigration. When that happens, I do not know. There are very very powerful actors who do
not want that conversation to happen. They are very very powerful actors, both in the open borders lobby and in the radical Muslim lobby, care the Muslim brotherhood, tentacle organizations and things like that. They don't want that conversation to happen. In fact, they intend to prevent it at any cost, by any means possible. But unless that happens, it's just going to happen over and over and over and over again.
It's horrific, horrific stuff. And thankfully, in this particular, hey he's the DJ in the FBI managed to bust this New Year's Eve bomb plot prior to it happening. Unfortunately, another terrible event that was not busted before it actually happens was the slaying of Reiner and his partner, his wife,
Michelle Singer. So this does an absolutely awful story. So this this happened we learned about in the wee hours of the morning on Monday morning, apparently happened on Sunday, And indeed we now know that as of today, Nick Reiner, who is Rob Reiner's mentally disturbed son, is now appearing in court today for the first time on two counts of murder in the double homicide of Rob Reiner and
his wife. So he's thirty two years old and he's appearing in court today for the very first time after Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle were found slay apparently their throats slit stabbed to death over the weekend, a horrific, horrific story. Now, a lot of conservatives remember the name Rob Reiner, and they know that he was a very well known left wing activist, which he was, and no one could ever deny that he was super involved in all sorts of progressive social causes, the same sex marriage
fight out in California. He was a very involved both publicly and behind the scenes in fundraising and bankrulling, disseminating a lot of the Russia Gates propaganda that threatened to engulf the entire first from presidency back in twenty sixteen run and there he stood for a lot of very very very bad things from a political level. Two other things, though, that are relevant. One is the less important thing, which is that he also was the director of some absolutely
fantastic films. A few good Men, I mean the Jack Nicholson seeing There, Are you kidding me? I mean, that's classic nineteen nineties film Americana, The Princess Bride, one of the most beloved, beloved comedy is probably over the past thirty to forty years in all of Hollywood, when Harry met Sally, I mean kind of the quintessential rom com and the romcom genre not my genre choice, but talk about an all time classic in that particular genre.
That's the less important thing about Robiner.
The more important thing is this we, under no circumstances should be celebrating the slaying of our innocent fellow Americans. Now you can tell me that Rob Reiner what was guilty of sowing the seeds of propaganda and of advocating for a lot of terrible causes, and he was. He
was all of those things. But unless until you commit a crime, and unless until you go through due process and your appeals and you are found guilty of that crime, there is nothing such as incarceration or for the worst, the worst crimes, the death penalty that ought to happen to you. So that's my basic take on Rob Reiner is he made a lot of good films, He stood
for a lot of crappy causes. But under no circumstances whatsoever should we be doing anything other than praying for the Reiner family and wishing them nothing but comfort and consolation in this extraordinarily horrific s that you in a son murdering his parents.
My God, just awful.
On the other hand, I'm not gonna morally prene and pretend to be over the top angry at Donald Trump's now viral truth social post on this particular incidents. Either based on what I just said, what Trump put in this true social post where he was basically talking about how horrible Rob Reiner was, That's not how I.
Would have personally put it.
But I'm not going to get in my high horse and say this was the worst thing in the history of the world.
Either.
I wouldn't have done it. I think it's wrong. But the number of people out there who don't previously have an opinion on Donald Trump in are just now and are just now talking about this and trying to condemn him to morally preene get out of here. I know one buys that for a second. There's no one out there at this point who does not have an opinion one way or the other about Donald J.
Trump.
Your mind is made up. I haven't had a pretty favorable opinion of Donald J.
Trump.
I actually would just there in the White House yesterday for what was a wonderful Hanka reception. I was there in the afternoon, my wife and I flew off for a quick overnight trip to Washington, d C. By the way, before we go any further, I do want to show this. Donald Trump spoke beautifully about his prepared and his unscript
remarks at this gathering. Here, So here was Donald Trump talking about the Bondai Beach, Australia massacre and talking very clearly and soberly about radicals lamic terrorism.
Go go ahead and watch this.
Let me take a moment to send the love and prayers to our entire nation, to the people of Australia and especially all those affected by the horrific and anti Semitic terrorist attack. And that's exactly what it is, anti Semitic that took place on a Hanka celebration in Sydney. What a terrible, terrible thing we don't learn. We joined in mourning all of those who were killed and were praying for the swift recovery of the wounded. Some are
very horrifically wounded. As you probably know, all nations must stand together against the evil forces of radical Islamic terrorism, and we're doing that.
That is how you speak clearly about radical aslam is you name the culprit in this particular case, they were out above all to harm Jews, but they really also care greatly about harming Christians and all other quote unquote infidels as well.
That's how you speak clearly.
There was a lesson there for many people, perhaps above all over the past trying few days the leadership of both Brown University and.
The State of Rhode Islands.
But anyway, go back to this Honka party, beautiful celebration at the White House.
Really quite touching stuff.
Perhaps one of my favorite moments was so Trump does the script of remarks and there's actually a one hundred plus year old Holocaust survivor right there.
I was standing like two feet wave of them.
Are actually Trump and the Hawk Coasts vivor have a very unscripted, pleasant exchange. Some hostage families go up on stage to thank the President for his reason work and getting the hostage out of Gaza, and then President calls on, calls on my old good friend and a former guest on the Josh Hammer Show, Will Sharf. Will is currently the staff secretary to presidents. He's the one who's always
handing the president of those executive orders. Will has been a very good friend of mine for many, many years now and again he came on this show while go to talk about his then run for a trained general of the state of Missouri, and Trump invites Will to lead the prayers for the actual candlelight and the candlelighting of the Manora for the third Knight of Hanukah, which Will does ably. And after that, Donald Trump looks at Will and he's like, Will, I didn't know you were
that Jewish man. You're really Jewish, eliot. Everyone is burst out laughing. I mean, like Will's clearly like smiling a little embarrassing.
It was great. I mean, the President was hilarious. I mean he is just so fun.
I say this so many times, but one of Donald Trump's greatest political attributes is the fact that he's just so freaking funny. I mean he's doing like the little like shimmy up there, you know, pointing out people in the crowded recognized as there. I mean, like he's a total natural. The dude is was was born to be the public figure, to be the global icon that he is. And you know, in many ways, they just don't make him like Danto anymore. They really don't. I mean, often imitated,
never duplicated, as they say. So A beautiful, beautiful, beautiful events at the White House. The prior and I, my wife and I as well were at the Vice President's residence at the Naval Observatory for the Vice President's own Honka party, which was a beautiful sunthing, smaller, but a beautiful evening in its own right. My first time actually ever being at the Naval Observatory, which was really cool
to be there. You had the US Marine Band which was there playing all sorts of a festive Honukkah songs and whatnot there. The Vice President came out a little later with it with his wife Usha, gave gave some brief remarks, I would say, considerably briefer than President Trump. He did not spend quite as much time, you know, with the crowd in interacting as President Trump does. That
kind of just goes to their differing personalities. I would say the mood in the room, from what I could gather at the Vice President's gathering, was slightly more uneasy and slightly more unsettled than kind of the unambiguous joint celebration at the White House. Donald Trump is seeing correctly as being an unambiguous friend of the Jewish people and certainly of the Jewish date of Israel.
He has a track record to bat it up.
There's really nothing else for the most part of that he possibly could have done or been doing to solidify his bona fides in that particular respect. The issue with Vice President Advance, as we've alluded to on the show, is not as some are saying, that he is anti Semitic. I think that's complete and utter bs. It's it's total horse crap. I've known the Vice president for for some years now, and I don't think that he has an anti Semitic bonen in his body, as is often said.
For what it's worth, he has numerous Jewish staffers in his Vice President's office. I know multiple of them. I do not for a second think that JD. Vans is anti Semitic. What I will say is I think the room was kind of uneasy given the fact that the Vice President is known to be so chummy with Tucker Carlson, who is the most dangerous anti Semite in America today, probably in the entire history of the United States there and the Vice President has not exactly done much, if anything,
to take any distance between himself and Tucker. So, for what it's worth, anecdotally, that was kind of the theme that I had come up in a lot of my conversations there in the room that night. By the way, another thing that I saw pertaining to JD. Van So
just yesterday, actually just yesterday. Again, we're not going to do a deep dive on this on this Susie Wilds vany Fair stuff, but as part of the Vanity Fair articles, per the Susie Wilds interview, apparently the author who was named Chris Whipple, got a scoop from Marco Rubio as well, and apparently what Mark or Rubio said, according to Vanny Fair, and we can quibble us to this is actually what
he said. Because Vanny Fair is Vanny Fair and Susie Wyld's is the same that she was taking totally out of context.
So I mean, is this correct. I don't even know.
But for whatever it's worth, and your mileage may vary. Apparently, what Rubio told Vanny Fair, possibly through Susie Wilde, has not really clear. Was he allegedly said, if jd Vance runs for president, He's going to be our nominee and I'll be one of the first peoples to support him. That's a Rubio allegedly told Chris Whipple in this interview published Tuesday by Vanny Fair. Now, Rubio has said something along these lines before, so it's not exactly a shock.
I guess I would just say this. I'm not entirely sure, and perhaps, I mean, maybe he just can't say anything else right now because everyone thinks that Jad is the presumed successor Donald Trump, which he may well be, and that was of course part of the calculation for Donald Trump picking someone who was basically half his age to be his running mate in the first place last year, back in twenty twenty four. But for what it's worth, I am a jungly the opinion that iron sharpens iron.
I am generally of the opinion that competitive primaries are better than non competitive primaries, and Jdvans his twenty twenty eight prospects are deeply closely tied to the success of this particular administration, and right now President Trump does not have the greatest approval ratings in the world. The right track wrong track metrics right now when it comes to United States are not particularly good. They're not as bad as Joe Biden has first or anything like that, God forbid,
but they're not exactly great either. Vice President Vance whatdsworth his current favorable unfavorable splits. He's currently underwater as well, although at times less so than President Trump. But it's hard to feel overly confident in JD. Van's twenty twenty eight right now, at least, while the administration continues to tread water at best and possibly lose ground when it
comes to moderate Americans, independent Americans, things like that. There's actually already been some very like way way way, wait, wait way too really polling between JD. Vance and Gavin Newsom, who was viewed, I think correctly as the Democrat favorite for twenty twenty eight, and the advanced Newsome polling is basically something of a toss up. There's actually one outlier poll from Yahoo News that has Newsome up by eight points.
It doesn't really matter. These are all very hypothetical polls. But the point is this. The point is that this is really early, and I don't think that Marco Rubio should be foreclosing his possible path in twenty twenty eight, nor should other Republicans for that matter. It is way too early for this there and because the vice president is by definition the vice president, his fortunes are tied super super closely to the success of.
This current administration.
Let's not forget how Kamala Harris struggled so mightily to distance herself from the more unpopular elements of the Biden administration as one of the things that really hamstrung her
in her attempts to be president last year. In twenty twenty four, if the lack of popularity of the trum administration continues into its second third year, and to be clear, I hope it doesn't hope that this turns around a sap, but if it does, Jadie Bans is going to have a lot of these same questions dog him when it
comes to twenty twenty eight. So I saw that from Rubio, and I just thought that he probably should not say such things unless he feels like he has to do to maintain his personal relationship with the Vice president.
That's not my business.
All I'm saying is whether it's Rubio, whether it's anyone else who's thinking about entering the ring. There, iron sharpens
iron definitely don't foreclose your puzzle path. In twenty twenty eight, finally, a couple days ago, we talked at length about Megan Kelly and men Kelly and I have continued to have something of a dialogue, I guess would be a polite way of putting it on x formerly known as Twitter, where she continues to double and triple and quadruple down in the hole that she has dug for herself, in the hole that she has just continually dug for herself, arguably for a year or longer now, but very very
much so in recent months. So this reached something of a fever pitch where a lot of people start criticizing Megan Kelly for her refusal to criticize Candace Owans, who she recently has said that she loves. She said that she loves Candace Owens even though can Zones has been the leading the leading conspiracist since Charlie Kirk's horrific assassination.
In fact, Erica Kirk just flew to Nashville to meet with Candace on Monday, which is totally insane, by the way, totally insane that Erica would fly to Nashville as opposed to the other way around. Okay, not my business, but totally insane for it's worth. Candace is so lunacy inclined, such an absolute mental patient that she was telling her audience yesterday on Tuesday that she refused to drink water at this meeting with Erica Kirk, which apparently lasts like
four or four and a half hours. She just didn't drink world the whole time, apparently because she was afraid of what it might be poisoned. I mean, this is the insane, deranged garbage that Megan Kelly has been falling over backwards to defend for months now, all as we explain to Monday Show, because she is death afraid of Tucker Carlson and Candice Owens as followers, even though she knows darn well that Tucker and Candace what they're saying is demonic and evil as we said on Monday show,
she is the Dictionary definition of a coward. But fast forward a little bit. Here was Megan Kelly's big reveal on our show yesterday. Go ahead and watch this.
So in any event, Candace knows I disagree with her on this petty Internet people want to turn that into a cat fight between Candace and yours truly, which will fail. She and I actually have only gotten closer over the past couple of months as people try to make me attack her, so off, Okay, all.
Right, so me and Kelly not holding him back there, you know, as Megan does in her inner kind of serial attempts to be cool into into her mid to lay fifties. She she likes to drop a lot of f bounds, which we are bleeping out for you because we have more class than she does. But the more interesting thing is this. She admits that she's become closer to Candace Owens in recent months. So I don't real sources,
but I will say this. About a week after Charlie's perrific assassination, Megan was privately telling people that what Cannas was saying about charlie assassination was insane and nuts I don't reveal sources. Meghan was privately saying that at that time. Now she is saying that the reason that she didn't criticize Cannas is because she went out of her way and true self aggrandizing fashion, because no one is more correct or righteous than Magan Kelly in her own destoried,
warped mind. Now she's saying that she was the one who organized this grand pow wow between Kennis and Eric Kirk because she doesn't agree with Kennis e ones. But Kenn deserves to be heard? What why does she deserve to be heard? Does her claim that Erica Kirk was complicit in choice assassination? Does that deserve to be heard? Her claim that Turning Point was a staffer from Tyler Boyer to Mikey McCoy, that they knew and work complaicit, Does that deserve to be heard?
That I add fore knowledge? Does that deserve to be hurt?
Magan Kelly, while you're bring on people like noted dimwit failed comedian Dave Smith, while you're platforming him and refusing to call out at all, the woman who said that I had.
Fore knowledge and choice assassination?
Do all these claims deserve to be heard, and you're saying that she got closer to cannas reasons she got closer while she was doing this Again, I'm telling you I know for a fact that Megan was telling people a week or less after Charlie's murder that she was scared of Candace and Tucker's followers, even though she knew that what Candace was saying was nuts. This is definitional
coward lead behavior. She is outing herself. My whole social media feed is just filled with people dunking on Megan Kelly for refusing to take a stand and being a total coward. When I was in DC the past couple of days, I had more people approached me applauded me for pushing back on Megan Kelly than for pushing back on Tucker and Candace. Because grom canyons are just so clearly out there. Their work speaks for itself. Megan tries to hide behind things like she's just neutral when she's
just trying to bring people together. No, we see through your bs. You've chosen a sign, You've sold your soul to Tucker and Canvas. You are pusillanimous in the extreme, and you will not call them out because you're scared of their followers. But we will continue to call you out as necessary here on The Josh Hammer Show, and you deserve it, frankly more than anyone in my entire social media universe.
As alway supposed to.
