OF L.A. CLIPPERS OWNER DONALD STERLING.

HE HAS COME UNDER FIRE FOR HIS THOUGHTS ON THE

INSTAGRAM-ABILITY OF -- OF I GUESS YOU WOULD CALL IT

GIRLFRIEND AND BLACK PERSON FRIENDSHIP.

>> EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, I AM BANNING MR. STERLING FOR LIFE.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> Jon: YES!

>> FROM ANY ASSOCIATION WITH THE CLIPPERS ORGANIZATION OR THE

NBA.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] ♪

>> Jon: WOW.

SO MUCH EXCITEMENT OUT THERE.

SO MUCH EXCITEMENT OUT THERE FROM THE ENTIRE WORLD AND EVEN

APPARENTLY THE PAST.

[ LAUGHTER ]

IT'S GOOD TO SEE THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN FREE SPEECH AND

CONSEQUENCE FREE SPEECH.

MY GUESS IS THIS IS NOT THE DEATH NELL FOR THIS COUNTRY'S

LONG AND PROUD TRADITION OF CRAZY TALK.

>> IF I WERE IN CHARGE -- [LAUGHTER]

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> Jon: ALL I CAN SAY THERE

IS THANK GOD THAT IS A HYPOTHETICAL.

>> THEY WOULD KNOW THAT WATERBOARDING IS HOW WE BAPTIZE

TERRORISTS.

[LAUGHTER] >> JON: HUH?

THAT IS SARAH PALIN GIVING A SPEECH WHERE SHE IS SOMEHOW

CONFLATING A SACRAMENT OF HER FAITH

WITH TORTURE IN ORDER TO SOMEHOW BRING THE FEAR OF GOD TO

RELIGIOUS EXTREMISTS.

[ LAUGHTER ] I DON'T EVEN -- WHERE IS THAT

SPEECH EVEN APPROPRIATE AT AN AL QAEDA RECRUITMENT HOW-TO VIDEO

WORKSHOP?

AT THE YEARLY GATHERING OF THE DUMMOLOS OR MAYBE SHE'S GIVING

ONE OF THOSE FAMED HUH TALKS.

THEY ARE LIKE TED TALKS EXCEPT THEY MAKE NO SENSE.

WELL, SO -- TED TALKS.

[LAUGHTER] SO, WHAT ELSE DID THE FORMER

VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF ONE OF TWO MAJOR NATIONAL

PARTIES TELL WHOEVER IT IS SHE IS TALKING TO.

>> JOE BIDEN, REMEMBER THIS HE TELLING WOMEN BEFORE AN ASSAULT

JUST A FIRE WARNING SHOT UNTIL THE COPS SHOW UP.

JUST AIM UP IN THE AIR.

THAT WAS HIS DIRECTIVE.

HIS ADVICE.

WELL FINE, JOE SQUIRT GUN, IF YOUR RAPIST IS A BIRD.

[LAUGHTER] >> Jon: SHE SEEMS NICE.

[LAUGHTER] SO I SEE.

WELL, THE FORMER ALASKA GOVERNOR WITH A CLEAR AND QUITE RYE

REFERENCE TO THE WELL KNOWN GREEK MYTH LEDA AND THE SWAN.
