Greg Gutfeld got involved in controversy on Monday when he got into a back and forth debate
0:23
with host Jessica Tarlove on the subject of Florida's new curriculum on slavery
0:30
Now for those that don't know, there is some new curriculum on slavery that kind of paints
0:35
slavery and says look, it was horrible, but, you know, slaves did learn some skills, they
0:42
learned some skills they were able to use in the future, you know, when they were freed
0:46
you know, certain job skills and trades and things of that nature
0:50
Now a lot of people feel that presenting it in that way kind of whitewashes slavery and
0:56
makes it almost seem okay. So that's a matter of personal opinion, I'm not going to weigh in on whose opinion is
1:02
correct or not, that's none of my business. But I do believe that it's dangerous to say anything positive about something like slavery
1:12
because it was such a horrible thing. That being said, what happened after that is Jessica Tarlove was talking and she said
1:21
because she wasn't black, you know, she had to look at it from a different perspective
1:25
as a Jewish person. And that's when things got really hairy for Gutfeld who made some comments about the Holocaust
1:31
that right now have his career in jeopardy. Let's take a look. I think that it's an incredibly complex piece
1:47
When you look at 191 passages, you have some good. And frankly, I'm just fundamentally uncomfortable with the sentence that blacks benefited at
1:58
all from this. And, you know, it made me think of someone, obviously, I'm not black, but I'm Jewish
2:04
Would someone say about the Holocaust, for instance, that there were some benefits for
2:08
Jews, right? While they were hanging out in concentration camps, you learned a strong work ethic, right
2:12
Maybe you learned a new skill. Did you ever read Man's Search for Meaning? Vic Frankel talks about how you had to survive in a concentration camp by having skills
2:21
You had to be useful. Utility. Utility kept you alive. Now, obviously, I don't think that Greg Gutfeld was saying that there was any good to the Holocaust
2:31
I don't believe he was saying that. I think he was trying to counter a point that if you had some skills and were considered
2:37
quote, useful and quote by the Nazis, that it could prolong your life, which is something
2:42
the Auschwitz Museum said in a statement on this incident. But the Auschwitz Museum also said that it's very dangerous because ultimately, even if
2:51
they were considered, quote unquote, useful, the Jews were killed anyway. So, you know, it can only prolong your life
2:59
It could try to, as you know, as you tried to do different things, it could just extend
3:04
it, maybe buy you some time. And if you were one of the fortunate ones when the allies came in and freed the people
3:10
you know, then it worked to your favor. But it was still a horrible experience. It was ultimate torture
3:15
And even if you were considered useful by the Nazis, it was still horrible
3:21
And now people at Fox News are talking, especially with Gutfeld with his own primetime show
3:25
that this could mean the end of his career, that this is highly dangerous for him, and
3:30
that Fox News brass is getting scared because the White House has even responded to this
3:35
and denounced Fox News and denounced Gutfeld for these comments. Some Fox employees have been saying that it's insane and it's insulting and all this stuff
3:45
And they're saying it anonymously, of course, because they don't want to get on the wrong side of Gutfeld
3:49
Look what happened to Geraldo when that happened. But there seems to be a lot of turmoil about this
3:55
I, for one, don't think this controversy just goes away without anybody saying anything
4:00
Something's going to have to be said at some point, some further explanation, something
4:04
from Gutfeld. And I'm wondering what that's going to be. But I want to know you guys' comments on this
4:09
Do you think this should be enough to end a career? Do you think that Gutfeld was out of line
4:15
Do you think that Fox News should fire him or keep him? I want to know all your answers in the comments
4:20
I love reading them. Again, this is Explain America. I'm Carmine Sabia
