Summary
First, they agree wholeheartedly with comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld's contention that the woke left's obsession with never being offended has effectively killed television comedies and many other forms of the art. And Jim adds that comedy is also a problem for the left because it helps people see their shared life experiences...and that's bad for a movement who is constantly seeking to divide us.
Next, they unload on the president and other administrators at Columbia University. After setting another deadline for the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel demonstrators to clear their encampment, there were no consequences when the protesters ignored it. Later, the campus radicals took over an academic building and administrators thus far doing nothing about it.
Finally, they groan as TV host Drew Barrymore tells Vice President Kamala Harris, "We need you to be Momala for the country."Jim and Greg explain why they think it is painfully wrong for Americans to think of themselves as the children of our political leaders, but they look back at a cringeworthy moment from a presidential campaign decades ago that provided momentum for this warped notion.

| 0:26.2 | worth actually, although the finale, as he will readily admit was perhaps not as great |
| 0:32.0 | as everyone expected. |
| 0:33.0 | Controversial. |
| 0:34.0 | Could not live up to the expectations would be my way of saying it, but it could have been better. |
| 0:38.4 | But today Jerry Seinfeld is an actual good Martini because he was on the New Yorker radio hour podcast and they were |
| 0:47.2 | talking about the current state of comedy and in this clip Seinfeld's |
| 0:51.6 | larger point is you have to adapt to where the culture is on this. |
| 0:55.0 | He likened it to skiing saying you got to see where the gates are open and you got to adjust your |

| 1:06.0 | is basically how wokeness on the left has killed comedy as you and I certainly |
| 1:12.3 | knew it growing up and a lot of people even in the 90s and the early part of the 2000s understood comedy and here is how Jerry Seinfeld explain that. |
| 1:22.0 | Nothing really affects comedy. |
| 1:24.0 | People always need it. |
| 1:26.0 | They need it so badly and they don't get it. |
