Executive Producer Contributions and Knighting Ceremony
The hosts acknowledge significant financial contributions from executive producers, including Scott Jalbert and John Harvey. The segment features the "knighting" of new producers, birthday shout-outs, and a series of classic Al Sharpton "teleprompter flub" clips requested by donors.
The Butler, Civil Rights History, Weinstein Company
The film The Butler, produced by the Weinstein Company, provides a historical perspective on the Civil Rights Movement leading up to the 2008 election. While praised for its performances, the movie is criticized for revisionist history regarding John F. Kennedy's assassination and its depiction of racial tensions. The film features a large ensemble cast including Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey.
The show concludes with a John Stossel report on police shutting down children's lemonade stands due to vague regulations. Lawyer Harvey Silverglate notes that the "avalanche of new laws" makes criminals of almost all citizens. The hosts sign off from "Camp MoFo" in the "Drone Star State," followed by the Gitmo Nation National Anthem.
John Stossel, FIRE Foundation, Bullying as Censorship
John Stossel interviewed Harvey Silverglate of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) regarding free speech suppression on Ivy League campuses. Silverglate argues that terms like "harassment" and "bullying" are being redefined to censor unpopular speech. The discussion posits that unpleasant speech requires the most protection and that individuals should have the right to respond to verbal attacks directly.
