Don Lemon: 'Scott Galloway On Protest Chaos, Cancel Culture, & Donald Trump's Legal Woes'

"Don Lemon sits down with NYU Marketing Professor and Host of @TheProfGShow, Scott Galloway for a deep dive into the campus protests, youth in America, and the former president's many legal woes." 

From Don Lemon

 As I wrote about this on Friday: 

"I think Michael Smerconish hit the nail on the head when he posed the question: "Are these protests at Columbia and Southern California genuine, or is someone astroturfing them?" Meaning do these protestors really hate Israel and what Israel is doing in Gaza right now, or is someone ginning them up and getting to do these protests, to bring attention to their political movement? 

Considering that Columbia University is not a school that's known for producing professional athletes. I mean the Lions football program is known for winless seasons and they compete in the Ivy League. You are talking about a lot of wealthy, overprivileged students, who are the sons and daughters of politicians, doctors, lawyers, journalists, some of the most successful and wealthy people in America. 

And young people, especially overprivileged young people are very impressionable to begin with. Especially with leftists who are cool and are hipsters and know how to get young people's attention. So you have all these young overprivileged students, seeing all these people, especially children and women, suffering in Gaza, mostly because of the Hamas regime there, but also because of the Israeli military as well and the students are reacting to that." 


If anything, I and this blog is more liberal than Scott Galloway when it comes to free speech. That even includes hate speech. 

If these Columbia students want to hold antisemetic rallies at Columbia and get permission from the school to hold those rallies and do them peacefully, don't call for violence against Jews, simply because they're Jewish, that's their 1st Amendment right as far as I''m concern. But as Sir Issac Newton brilliantly said: 

"third law of motion states that “every action has an equal and opposite reaction”.

If college leftists want to have 1st Amendment protected rallies against Jews and the State of Israel they can do that. But the reaction to that, is Columbia puts its school funding at risk because Americans aren't forced to subsidize schools that allow, if not promote antisemitism and neither are taxpayers. 

But my main point from Friday about this discussion is that young people are young an inexperienced. (If you don't like young and stupid) And are overly impressionable and tend to make big mistakes. It's really just about whether or not they're smart enough not to make mistakes that are so bad that they ruin the rest of their lives. Or, do they go too far, too soon in their lives and put their futures at severe risk.
