Transcription

What was King Charles' land acknowledgment in Canada about?

3252.992 - 3273.029 Ben Shapiro

We'll have Megyn Kelly on to discuss all this because, frankly, Megyn watches this stuff a lot more closely than I do and has a greater level of expertise. Meanwhile, in other entertainment news, it is kind of amazing to watch elderly people who are now desperately attempting to maintain attention. Jennifer Lopez is 55 years old. Now, granted, she's an amazing looking 55 year old person.

But the desperate need for attention by our celebrity class like Jennifer Lopez is worth a lot of money, like a lot of money. She is supposedly worth at least 400 million dollars. You don't have to do this, Jennifer, just to be just to be provocative. So she is now making out with her backup dancers. Now, I thought that this is a routine that's been around for a long time.

I'm old enough to remember when Madonna did this, like 20 years ago, 25 years ago. So I'm not sure what the controversy here is. Everything is just old and played out, including J-Lo. So here she was at one of her shows, desperate for attention. I lose control. Okay, so there she is making out with her backup dancers. And again, oh, and multiple backup dancers.

She's like kissing and making out with. So this is old and tired. Listen, grandmama. She's 55 years old. I mean, come on. Come on. What are you doing at this point? I have to say it is... trashy and gross and stupid, obviously. But there is this thing that's happening in our culture where a bunch of people are masquerading as 17-year-olds who are actually middle-aged. It kind of is amazing.

It really is kind of an amazing thing. If you are of middle age, you should act like you are of middle age. I don't mean you have to be a fuddy-duddy. I do mean that you should act like an adult. Like you're not a 17-year-old or a 21-year-old trying desperately to gain attention. You see this with Katy Perry also, right?

3359.197 - 3382.014 Ben Shapiro

Katy Perry is also making a fool of herself doing her international tours right now, being silly. And you see it in the lyrics of a Taylor Swift also who pretends to be a lovelorn 16-year-old girl when in fact Taylor Swift is currently age 35. But you see it all over the place. I mean, truly, you see it in the manosphere too. I see a bunch of people who are sort of in the podcast space

who are cosplaying at being 17-year-old Beavis and Butthead types. I enjoy Theo Vaughn as much as the next guy, although I think that his political takes are insanely stupid much of the time, because I just don't think that he focuses on that sort of stuff. And if you don't focus on it, he's not claiming to be an expert. That's fine.

3398.826 - 3418.418 Ben Shapiro

But if you're not claiming to be an expert, I'm not going to take your opinions on these matters particularly seriously. And Theo Vaughn's a comedian. That's fine. It's also worth noting, Theo Vaughn is 45 years old. Theo Vaughn is four years older than I am. Theo Vaughn is like, In the olden days, Theo Vaughn would be closing in on the gold watch in retirement.

3419.778 - 3443.463 Ben Shapiro

And he dresses like a skater who's 16 years old, wears his hat backwards, and acts as though he's a refugee from the stoners club in junior high. It's a little weird. Again, he's very funny. I'm not going to, I'm just wondering, and this is kind of the entire branding now. There's a whole generation of people who are 40 and up who are acting as though they are 20 and under.
