The fight for our country is happening right now. Be a part of it at dailywire.com slash subscribe. Alrighty, folks, the big online story of the day, the story that has exploded across the interwebs is a controversy involving Dave Portnoy. Dave Portnoy is, of course, the founder and owner of Barstool Sports.

53.394 - 73.642 Ben Shapiro

He also owns a series of bars, restaurants around the country that are labeled with Barstool. And the reason that he's in the news today is because of a controversy that broke into the open when a person who is a student apparently at Temple University named Mo Khan went to a barstool bar and proceeded to order from the back room some sort of dish.

73.682 - 93.187 Ben Shapiro

And one of the things they do, I guess, at these bars is they have a sort of letter board. And you can ask the waiter or waitress to change the letters on the letter boards. You can say, break up with him on the letter board. Or you can say, go Eagles on the letter board. Well, this guy asked for a very specific thing on the letterboard. F the Jews. And then he proceeded to post that video online.

93.227 - 119.462 Ben Shapiro

And here's what it looked like. So you can see there are a bunch of girls who are laughing, thinking it's hilarious. As a waiter holds up a sign that says F the Jews. a lot of celebration in the club. So that's always wonderful. That's just delightful. All these people seem like just delightful, transgressive, wonderful human beings.

119.703 - 138.746 Ben Shapiro

Okay, in any case, Dave Portnoy is the owner of Barstool Sansom Street. The bar put out a statement saying that it involved a customer whose actions were deplorable. And Portnoy said that two customers were involved. The bar blamed misguided employees who ignored the company's training and their zero tolerance policy for discrimination and hate.

138.766 - 156.592 Ben Shapiro

And again, private companies can have those sorts of policies. If you are an employee and you are asked to say the N-word on a sign or screw Whitey or whatever it is, and you say no, that is what you are supposed to do as an employee of Barstool. Well, the president of Temple University, John Fry, announced that a student believed to have been involved in the incident had been suspended.

156.632 - 178.47 Ben Shapiro

That would be the person who posted this in celebratory fashion. Well, then apparently Portnoy reached out to this person whose name is Mokan. Originally, he said he was very angry and it happened at his bar. He himself is Jewish. He was upset about it. And he said that he was going to make it his life mission to ruin these people like I'm coming for your throat. And then he backed off of that.
