What is the controversy involving Dave Portnoy and the antisemitic sign?

Tim Dillon 0:17
Thank you all for joining us again and I'm making a sign for Dave Portnoy's bar in Philadelphia that says something nice about the Jews. And I'm just going to put that up. Because... Just to even it out. Because that guy, that guy, Mo Khan... He went out and he did a... He had one of those signs that the... You know, like they hold up at the bar... You know, it's like, usually it's like happy birthday or go Lakers. And this time I believe it was fuck the Jews. And Dave Portnoy was upset about that. So now him and the, and he said he was going to, he was going to pay for the kid to go to Auschwitz. He was going to send him to Auschwitz, which is kind of nice. It's kind of a nice thing to pay for a trip there. But then he reneged on that.

And now him and the kid are like in a legal battle. And then the kid started like a GoFundMe. And he's got like 15,000 in the GoFundMe. Which I don't know what's going on. But the kid like, obviously it's stupid to do that. The internet's not real life. You can't, you can't, it's not, you can't do that. But he's raised 15 G's. I don't know what's going on. I'm telling you, if you think, supposedly the kid's like, hey, I'm in a fight with the Jews, and he raised 15 Gs. I'm telling you this right now. If you only get 15 Gs, that's not going far. They're going to win. I'm telling you right now, they're going to win. One of the fundraising pages, Justice for Mohammed Adnan Khan, was organized by Temple graduate and free speech advocate Alex Morris, hopes to raise $75,000. Okay. Well, whatever. Don't make a sign that says that. That's not nice. Dave Portnoy's going a little hard, too. Here's the thing with the isms. Semitism, antisemitism, all the other ones as well, right?

How does Tim Dillon suggest handling bigotry and antisemitism?

Tim Dillon 2:48
The other ones are phobias, homophobia, transphobia. What are the other isms? There's antisemitism, misogyny, that's an E, phobia, transphobia, homophobia, racism, antisemitism, racism, nativism. Jingoism. Yeah, yeah, whatever. Here's the thing. The more you talk about the discrimination, the more you get it. It's like one of these laws that no one realizes. The more you talk about the thing, you just get more of the thing. If you just talk about... something all the time and people, it's just, you're going to manifest it. You're going to end up seeing more of it everywhere. You're going to react. People are going to troll you with it because people like that. You're showing them how you're going to react.
Tim Dillon 3:55
The only way to defeat a lot of that is to ignore it. Which is, like, the hardest thing in the world to ignore. I'm not saying, like, you ignore the kid with the sign. Like, obviously, you're like, hey, fuck you, man. But, like, I don't know if going on, like, a massive campaign because this dumb kid made a sign is gonna, like, make anti-Semitism go away. That's the thing. Like, if... If I wanted homophobia to go away, if like somebody called me a faggot and I spent three weeks talking about it, can you believe he called me a faggot? Well, I'm going to pay for a trip for you to go to Africa and see AIDS because there's AIDS there. It's not gay. I mean, there's just AIDS. And that's where I would send a person, send them to Africa to see AIDS. Go see what AIDS does.
Tim Dillon 4:58
After a while, people would just kind of get upset. They'd be like, all right. All right. All right. I think that's the way to deal with bigotry is to ignore it and pretend it's not real. And then it kind of goes away because it loses its power. If you endlessly talk about it, if you bring it up all the time, and if you keep, you know, like talking as victim and all this stuff, it's like people just, people turn it off. They shut it off. They change the channel. It's enough already. I get it. I get, you know. Also, it's like, you know, I like Dave Portman, but it's like you don't have to defend the whole of the Jewish people.
