Summary

Biological males should not be allowed to compete in women's sports, argues Leah Thomas. Steven Monticelli, a leftist writer who specializes in leftist talking points and attacking college students, has a different opinion. And he's here to explain why.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Here's a PubMed, NCBI, and, like, this is a medical journal.
00:00:04.000 So, I mean... Hold on a second, let me ask you something.
00:00:09.000 You know what?
00:00:10.000 Okay, you know what?
00:00:12.000 Just hold it up for me.
00:00:14.000 0.0018%, almost 100 times lower than Fausto Sterling's estimate of 1.7.
00:00:18.000 So, it is because they are talking about...
00:00:20.000 Can you hold that up for the camera?
00:00:22.000 Welcome back to part two of our Change My Mind installment, specifically on the topic that biological males should not
00:00:34.000 compete in women's sports.
00:00:36.000 Well, at least that's what it was supposed to be.
00:00:41.000 See, yesterday I sat down and spoke with Isaac, and although we disagreed, we had a productive, almost hour-long discussion.
00:00:47.000 But in case you've forgotten, civility wasn't exactly on everybody's mind that day.
00:00:55.000 And these are adults acting this way in college.
00:00:59.000 At UNT, the Harvard of Denton County no less.
00:01:02.000 And I had to wonder, why would college students ever think it's acceptable to behave this way?
00:01:08.000 Enter one of their self-described mentors, Stephen Monticelli.
00:01:18.000 Monticelli is a contributing writer at Rolling Stone and the Daily Beast where he specializes in leftist talking points and attacking college students.
00:01:24.000 Oh, there you go. Here, I'll have it on you.
00:01:25.000 Your name is Steven?
00:01:26.000 That's right, Steven.
00:01:27.000 Monticelli is a contributing writer at Rolling Stone and the Daily Beast, where he specializes
00:01:31.000 in leftist talking points and attacking college students.
00:01:34.000 He's even made an appearance on CNN's New Day.
00:01:38.000 Also, this noted Inspector Gadget impressionist who cosplays as Indiana Jones enthusiast had clearly been waiting for Change My Mind to come to UNT, the harbor of Denton County, for quite some time, and he just couldn't hide his enthusiasm.
00:01:51.000 All right, good.
00:01:52.000 Do you spell it P-H or V?
00:01:53.000 The V. Same way?
00:01:54.000 Very nice.
00:01:55.000 Fewer letters means a cooler name.
00:01:56.000 Last name?
00:01:57.000 Monticelli.
00:01:58.000 I'll spell it for you.
00:01:59.000 Okay.
00:01:59.000 M-O-N-A-C-E-L-L-I.
00:02:03.000 So... German.
00:02:07.000 Boy, missed all of that one.
00:02:11.000 Missed it by that much.
00:02:12.000 Just a little bit, but you know, both of those countries have a certain history for a certain type of politics, but we're not here to talk about that today.
00:02:18.000 Yeah, no, I know.
00:02:20.000 I don't know how I got that one wrong.
00:02:22.000 It's almost like, almost like I wasn't even trying.
00:02:24.000 Oh look, the sense of humor mobile!
00:02:27.000 It's not stopping here.
00:02:28.000 So, Steve.
00:02:29.000 Steven, Steve, how do you prefer?
00:02:30.000 Steven.
00:02:33.000 By the way, I like this jacket.
00:02:35.000 Is it a raincoat?
00:02:37.000 It's just like a cotton jacket, I guess, surplus.
00:02:44.000 So, Stephen, I don't know how familiar you are at all with what we do with this kind of installment, but it's basically a way where we can hopefully rationalize our positions on controversial topics.
00:02:53.000 A lot of the times People can have somewhat rational conversations on topics that maybe don't evoke an emotional response and then it all goes out the window.
00:03:01.000 As you've seen here on college campuses with dancing Yoda and people throwing milkshakes and screaming and all these kinds of things which we generally like to avoid.
00:03:10.000 Now, spoiler alert, this is about to go sideways very quickly.
00:03:15.000 So, today's topic is one obviously we planned for a while, but now it's in the news because of Leah Thomas.
00:03:21.000 I don't believe that biological males should be allowed to compete.
00:03:27.000 With women.
00:03:28.000 Biological females in women's sports.
00:03:31.000 If you disagree with me, I'm more than happy to hear your case and let you change my mind.
00:03:35.000 So, I guess before we get into it, what is your definition of the term biological female?
00:03:41.000 Is that something that would include people who are assigned female at birth that were born intersex?
00:03:48.000 So this is interesting that you're bringing up this point, intersex.
00:03:50.000 You're talking about the 0.01% of the population.
00:03:53.000 It's about 1.5, 1.7, because there are surgeries that are done to babies when they're babies, when they're born, and then they assign them a gender.
00:04:00.000 So let me address two different points here.
00:04:02.000 Sure.
00:04:02.000 First off, what I'm seeing with biological males and females is the overwhelming majority of people, of course, across the globe since the beginning of time, who are born So, like, if there's a hundred people here?
00:04:13.000 Okay.
00:04:14.000 Sure.
00:04:14.000 chromosomes, what's secondary sex characteristics?
00:04:16.000 So like, are there 100 people here?
00:04:18.000 Hold on, let me finish. And then I'll address your second point.
00:04:20.000 Okay.
00:04:21.000 Is that fair?
00:04:22.000 Sure.
00:04:23.000 So, doctors, for example, fill out male or female. Now we're talking about sex, right?
00:04:28.000 We're not talking about identified gender. I'm assuming that you would agree that sex
00:04:34.000 is a biological term and gender is a social...
00:04:37.000 There's a difference between...
00:04:38.000 I understand that's how gender theory is presented, certainly in gender studies on college campus.
00:04:42.000 With intersex it's about 0.01% of the population and the vast majority of them, the vast majority of them don't require any kind of a sex change.
00:04:51.000 That's actually not an accurate statistic.
00:04:53.000 I did an accurate statistic.
00:04:54.000 I don't make all the references available.
00:04:55.000 Right now it's 1.5%.
00:04:56.000 1.5% of the population is not intersex.
00:05:01.000 Well, they're born that way.
00:05:02.000 And even then, a very small percentage of them are improperly assigned with a primary sex at birth.
00:05:08.000 They usually have primary sexual characteristics, okay?
00:05:10.000 So... So primary sexual characteristics, and very few have to end up going with some kind of a sex change operation later in life.
00:05:15.000 Would we agree on that?
00:05:16.000 Because it's often done when they're children or when they're babies.
00:05:18.000 Right, or they're assigned male, female at birth, even if they're intersex.
00:05:21.000 So, yeah, I guess that's what I'm trying to get at.
00:05:22.000 Are you talking about people who are assigned... So what I'm dealing with, if we separate that, intersex, okay?
00:05:27.000 So let's say we allow intersex... Well, why should we?
00:05:29.000 No, I'm saying let's say we allow intersex.
00:05:31.000 To compete in the division they choose.
00:05:33.000 How do you prove that?
00:05:35.000 How do you even get to that question of are you or are you not?
00:05:39.000 Are you asking then that there has to be a box that people have to tick?
00:05:43.000 That they were intersex?
00:05:44.000 I'm confused by you presenting the argument here because you asked me about intersex.
00:05:47.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:05:48.000 So what I'm trying to say is there are edge cases here that I don't think that your presentation actually encompasses.
00:05:54.000 I just encompassed it.
00:05:56.000 So, if people are allowed so that someone who is born with both female and male sex characteristics... There you go, now you've got it.
00:06:04.000 Yeah.
00:06:05.000 So.
00:06:05.000 Yeah.
00:06:06.000 And then there are surgeries that are done to them.
00:06:08.000 You just check the box.
00:06:09.000 But someone would have to ask them that.
00:06:11.000 Yes.
00:06:12.000 So are you proposing that people are asked that?
00:06:14.000 What I'm saying is if someone is intersex, let's allow that to be an exception.
00:06:17.000 So how do we know that that is the case?
00:06:18.000 Let's say that someone who is intersex can compete in any division they want to.
00:06:21.000 How do we know that... They would have to declare if they're intersex.
00:06:23.000 So you're asking... And they would obviously be examined by a doctor just as the women are in women's sports and men are in men's sports.
00:06:30.000 Just as they have to submit to not only blood sampling for drug tests, hair follicle sampling, often nail strippings, right?
00:06:36.000 We both know that physicals are conducted in all sports.
00:06:40.000 To separate for what?
00:06:42.000 Sex, right?
00:06:44.000 To separate for weight?
00:06:45.000 To separate for height?
00:06:47.000 When I was playing sports when I was a kid, no one ever inspected my genitals.
00:06:51.000 Really?
00:06:52.000 No.
00:06:52.000 You never had to turn your head and cough?
00:06:54.000 Well, that wasn't for doing sports.
00:06:55.000 That's called a physical.
00:06:56.000 That's a medical thing that was separate from being able to do sports.
00:07:00.000 Yeah, so you never had to do a full medical?
00:07:02.000 I mean... So you must not have played sports at a high level.
00:07:04.000 They weren't really concerned about... Because they do.
00:07:05.000 Everyone has to pass a medical.
00:07:07.000 You do realize that at Division One Sports you would have to pass a medical, you know why?
00:07:10.000 So the medical would be a description of your genitals?
00:07:13.000 It would include it.
00:07:14.000 It would include a written description and a verbal description?
00:07:16.000 Yes.
00:07:17.000 Really?
00:07:18.000 Really.
00:07:18.000 It's a medical examination, yeah.
00:07:20.000 It would include the description of your vitals, of your health parameters.
00:07:24.000 So I guess now that we've gotten through that, what is the reason that you're... We haven't gone through that.
00:07:31.000 So if you're less concerned about intersex people, then why are you so concerned about transgender people?
00:07:37.000 Again, I was answering your question.
00:07:38.000 You asked about interest rates.
00:07:40.000 They both get surgery.
00:07:41.000 Sometimes they both need hormone treatment.
00:07:44.000 What's your position against it?
00:07:46.000 If you're okay with one, why are you not okay with the other?
00:07:49.000 Here's exactly why.
00:07:50.000 First off, you're taking an extreme example to make a point, misrepresenting those statistics.
00:07:53.000 It's not 1.5% of the population.
00:07:55.000 You won't find a single position in the country.
00:08:01.000 Well, according to experts, 1.7% of the population is born with intersex traits.
00:08:05.000 Pause a second.
00:08:06.000 Let's analyze his Googling technique.
00:08:09.000 I'll just Google it.
00:08:11.000 It's fun.
00:08:12.000 You won't find a single condition in the country.
00:08:15.000 A two-click Google search.
00:08:18.000 It's almost as if he had the whole thing planned out.
00:08:21.000 Poorly.
00:08:22.000 1.7% of the population is born with intersex traits.
00:08:24.000 That's from amnesty.org.
00:08:26.000 I mean, yeah, I mean, I can just, like, keep, keep, I can go to... It's from amnesty.org.
00:08:30.000 I mean, it's from, there's, there's Wikipedia, there's, there's plenty of... Yes, amnesty and Wikipedia, okay.
00:08:35.000 There's a PubMed, NCBI, and, and, like, this is a medical journal, so, I mean... Hold on a second, let me ask you, hold on a second, you know what?
00:08:44.000 Okay, you know what?
00:08:45.000 Just hold it up for me.
00:08:46.000 Hold it up for me.
00:08:47.000 Because you just brought up PubMed and it didn't reflect what you just reflected.
00:08:51.000 So, Abjay... 0.0018%, almost 100 times lower than Falso-Sterling, estimate of 1.7.
00:09:01.000 So, it is because they're... Can you hold that up to the camera?
00:09:04.000 Can you hold that up to the camera?
00:09:10.000 Can you hold it up to the camera?
00:09:11.000 There's a debate about this, which is what we're having.
00:09:13.000 Pause!
00:09:14.000 Now if you notice the shift, and I mean increase, in my enthusiasm, it's because I was intensely familiar with the PubMed paper he was attempting to cite, and by cite I mean blatantly misrepresent, and by blatantly misrepresent I mean lie about, and this is the real value of Change My Mind in the conversations being included in their full context unedited.
00:09:34.000 It's one thing to be able to lie about numbers to unsuspecting students in order to score political points, it's another to face accountability in real time.
00:09:43.000 So, let's rewind and zoom in and enhance on his screen.
00:09:49.000 Unfortunately, the tech isn't good enough to get a crystal clear picture, but here's the actual PubMed article abstract.
00:09:55.000 If the term intersex is to retain any meaning, the term should be restricted to those conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex.
00:10:04.000 or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female.
00:10:08.000 Applying this more precise definition, the true prevalence of intersex
00:10:13.000 is seen to be about 0.018%, almost 100 times lower than the Fausto Sterling estimate of 1.7.
00:10:22.000 Can you hold it up to the camera?
00:10:23.000 There's a debate about this, which is what we're having.
00:10:25.000 Yeah, you can... No wonder the social justice warrior slash handler of Curious George shoved his phone back in his pocket faster than a crack pipe at the Bordello of Biden.
00:10:34.000 Yeah, you can Google... But you didn't present it as a debate.
00:10:37.000 You can get different views.
00:10:38.000 Hold on a second.
00:10:39.000 Let me finish here, because...
00:10:41.000 You just brought up Amnesty.org and Wikipedia.
00:10:43.000 The only legitimate medical publication that you brought up said exactly what I said.
00:10:48.000 What number did I give you?
00:10:49.000 So then let's put it in numbers.
00:10:50.000 If there are a hundred people here or a thousand people here, there's still going to be at least one person.
00:10:58.000 Look, if truth doesn't matter to you, this isn't going to be a productive conversation.
00:11:02.000 I'm actually giving the numbers.
00:11:03.000 What number did I give to you?
00:11:04.000 So you gave me 0.1%.
00:11:05.000 0.01%.
00:11:05.000 0.01%.
00:11:05.000 What is that number from PubMed say?
00:11:07.000 0.0% what is that number from PubMed say let's see it says point
00:11:10.000 point zero eight zero one eight percent point zero 1.8%?
00:11:18.000 Yeah, that's the number I gave you.
00:11:21.000 So let's see what PubMed just said.
00:11:23.000 That is PubMed.
00:11:24.000 You just showed the PubMed.
00:11:25.000 Yeah, I'm just going to pull up the same blog.
00:11:27.000 Now you're going back to NSE.org, you're going to Wikipedia.
00:11:29.000 So my point is, look, you sit here and you spout numbers that are inaccurate.
00:11:34.000 When you go to one legitimate medical journal, it says that it's actually a thousand times lower.
00:11:39.000 So do we want to have a conversation about the topic at hand, or do you want to keep embarrassing yourself with wrong numbers?
00:11:46.000 If you're going to accept that there are people in this world, no matter how rare that you think that they are, that you're going to allow to participate in sports... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Of course, I believe it's .018% according to... So there are people in this state, in this city, who would fit that categorization, and just because there are a small number of them, you're going to just kind of disregard the example?
00:12:21.000 And what number of them require some kind of sex change?
00:12:23.000 What number of them require... Why is that so threatening to you?
00:12:26.000 It's not threatening to me.
00:12:27.000 It seems like it is.
00:12:28.000 Well, what's bothering to me is your dishonesty.
00:12:33.000 So, I'll grant your number, and my argument is still the same.
00:12:38.000 So what's the number of people there who are not accurately defined at birth by their primary and secondary sexual characteristics?
00:12:44.000 It's about .2% of .01.8% of the population.
00:12:49.000 And what's the percentage of people that are competing in sports that are transgender?
00:12:54.000 What's that number of the population?
00:12:55.000 What's that percentage?
00:12:57.000 percentage of the total population yeah, that are competing in sports
00:13:01.000 as far as the categories that they enter they end up winning about 66%
00:13:05.000 for example in track upwards of 90% in strength sports
00:13:09.000 like powerlifting and olympic lifting that's significant
00:13:12.000 So even though they make up 1% of the population when they enter into female sports, they overwhelmingly tend to dominate, and this is a very small sample size.
00:13:20.000 So my question to you is, what do we do?
00:13:23.000 Because you're supposed to sit here and change that.
00:13:24.000 Are we going to start talking about genetics as it relates to people winning sports?
00:13:29.000 Is that what you want to do?
00:13:32.000 Is that what you're asking?
00:13:33.000 Male and female sports are separated by biology, yes?
00:13:37.000 I mean, what's the point of sports?
00:13:39.000 To win.
00:13:41.000 It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile.
00:13:44.000 Winning's winning.
00:13:46.000 Why is that funny?
00:13:48.000 It just tells me a lot about who you are.
00:13:49.000 The point of sports is not to win?
00:13:51.000 I think a lot of people think there's more than one point to sports.
00:13:54.000 I mean, so much of sports is like people getting sweaty and like rubbing around with each other.
00:13:59.000 What's the point to winning an Olympic medal?
00:14:03.000 I don't know.
00:14:03.000 I mean, why do we have the Olympics?
00:14:06.000 to identify who the best is at sport.
00:14:08.000 What is the historical reason why we have the Olympics?
00:14:11.000 You mean you want to go back to pancreation?
00:14:13.000 I mean, do we want to talk about...
00:14:15.000 No, like the modern reinvention of it.
00:14:18.000 You want to go back to... OK, so...
00:14:20.000 Fascist politics, you know, all that kind of stuff.
00:14:22.000 So you believe that people are competing, for example, in swimming, decathlon, biathlon, because of fascist
00:14:28.000 politics?
00:14:29.000 I didn't say it's about representing international dominance.
00:14:31.000 that sports is about, you know, declaring dominance and that there's some sort of actual value
00:14:36.000 in like this idea of international representation of dominance in sports.
00:14:40.000 When did you, did you ever have fun in your life?
00:14:43.000 Like, you ever have fun playing sports?
00:14:44.000 I didn't say it's about representing international dominance.
00:14:46.000 No, what I'm saying is like, you said it's all about winning, so...
00:14:49.000 I said, what is the point of sports?
00:14:50.000 What is the point of sports?
00:14:51.000 I think sports is a lot about having fun and, you know, making relationships with people and camaraderie.
00:14:56.000 Do you think it's fun to make the Olympic meddling platform?
00:14:59.000 You think that's fun?
00:15:00.000 Go on, think.
00:15:00.000 Is it fun?
00:15:01.000 No, sir.
00:15:01.000 No.
00:15:02.000 No, sir.
00:15:02.000 Absolutely not?
00:15:03.000 Zero fun, sir.
00:15:04.000 All right.
00:15:06.000 I mean, it must provide a sense of accomplishment.
00:15:09.000 Why?
00:15:09.000 A sense of joy, because they worked hard to get there.
00:15:13.000 And the joy and accomplishment comes from what?
00:15:15.000 Working hard to get there, I guess.
00:15:18.000 You're going to great lengths to avoid the term winning a medal.
00:15:21.000 I mean, hey, if you get second place and you're a spoiled brat about it, I think a lot of people would think you're kind of lame.
00:15:26.000 Do you think that the Olympic silver medalist who took second place to Leah Thomas, who wouldn't be ranked top 500 in the male division, is being a spoiled brat?
00:15:34.000 Well, what is your solution?
00:15:36.000 Would you want to create an entirely separate category for transgender people in sports?
00:15:40.000 If you want to, we can.
00:15:41.000 No, that's not what I want to.
00:15:42.000 I'm asking what you want.
00:15:43.000 Yeah, I think biological males should compete with biological males.
00:15:46.000 No, I'm asking specifically about transgender and intersex people now.
00:15:49.000 Where do you think they should compete in sports?
00:15:50.000 Well, let's separate transgender and intersex because intersex people don't want to be lumped in with transgenders.
00:15:54.000 I mean, who are you to speak for them?
00:15:56.000 Are you intersex?
00:15:56.000 Are you telling me something about yourself?
00:15:58.000 I'm letting them speak for them, but I'm sure you'll find statistics that will prove you wrong and bolster what I'm discussing right now.
00:16:03.000 Intersex people don't want to be lumped in with transgender individuals because there is a biological issue.
00:16:08.000 There's not a biological issue with transgender individuals.
00:16:10.000 It is a societal issue.
00:16:12.000 It's a social issue.
00:16:13.000 Is it a biological issue that you would never make a basketball team because you can't jump?
00:16:20.000 Shit!
00:16:21.000 That I can't jump?
00:16:22.000 Yeah.
00:16:23.000 Why are you making that presumption?
00:16:25.000 I'm just kind of following this logic to where it might conclude.
00:16:27.000 Are you racist?
00:16:28.000 No, I'm asking are you?
00:16:30.000 You're asking am I racist?
00:16:31.000 Yeah, what I'm saying is if you're so obsessed with certain types of people winning certain types of categories as if there's some sort of biological... Males and females?
00:16:38.000 Yeah.
00:16:39.000 So you're an essentialist.
00:16:39.000 Do you believe it's a statement of my imagination?
00:16:41.000 You're an essentialist.
00:16:42.000 Oh, well let's throw that to him.
00:16:43.000 What do you mean that I'm an essentialist?
00:16:44.000 That I believe biological males should compete against biological males?
00:16:47.000 Well, I mean you just talk about biological males and females so much that it essentializes Gender into a binary that doesn't include all these people that we've just been talking about.
00:16:56.000 And sex into a binary.
00:16:58.000 And sex.
00:16:58.000 Yeah.
00:16:59.000 You said gender.
00:17:00.000 And sex.
00:17:01.000 Yeah.
00:17:01.000 I didn't mention gender.
00:17:02.000 I mentioned sex.
00:17:03.000 Well, I'm talking about both.
00:17:04.000 But I'm not.
00:17:05.000 Well, then let's just focus on sex.
00:17:06.000 You are creating an essentialist binary.
00:17:09.000 Yeah.
00:17:11.000 Yeah.
00:17:12.000 Okay, so if you are saying that it is not binary, sex, then you are suggesting there should be a third division.
00:17:18.000 Not necessarily.
00:17:19.000 What's your solution?
00:17:21.000 I'm saying we should maybe stop taking sports so f***ing seriously and let people compete and create structures for competing that aren't so f***ing politicized.
00:17:31.000 How about that?
00:17:32.000 How about no?
00:17:34.000 Okay, great.
00:17:34.000 So women should just shut up and take it.
00:17:37.000 They're taking it too seriously.
00:17:38.000 Women are taking it too seriously.
00:17:39.000 I don't think that's what... I think you're taking it too seriously.
00:17:41.000 No, I'm saying women out there are taking it too seriously.
00:17:44.000 Talk to a woman.
00:17:45.000 There's plenty of women here.
00:17:46.000 Talk to a woman.
00:17:47.000 Yeah, I have.
00:17:48.000 I've spoken with many women.
00:17:49.000 What did she say?
00:17:49.000 What did they say?
00:17:50.000 They of course don't want biological males to compete in women's sports.
00:17:53.000 All right, so I'm going to give up my seat now.
00:17:56.000 Is there a woman who would like to speak to him?
00:17:59.000 Pause.
00:18:00.000 It's funny he should ask.
00:18:02.000 Because we just so happen to have talked to a female athlete, one of Leah Thomas' teammates, peers, if you will, at UPenn, to be exact, and here's what she had to say.
00:18:13.000 That guy, Monticelli, seems to be uneducated.
00:18:16.000 I would say that the way the rules are set up right now straight up deny women from equal educational opportunities in sport and discriminate against women by not recognizing the physical differences between men and women.
00:18:27.000 And women shouldn't be forced to take a backseat in their own sport.
00:18:31.000 Any women?
00:18:32.000 Female athlete.
00:18:34.000 Alright, cool.
00:18:35.000 Hey, it's been nice, Steve.
00:18:37.000 Thank you very much.
00:18:37.000 Take care.
00:18:38.000 I appreciate it.
00:18:40.000 So no solution, no dog in the fight, just wrong sources.
00:18:44.000 Every other conversation's been very productive.
00:18:46.000 I'd say, have fun making it your career to go talk to college students who don't want to talk to you.
00:18:52.000 Don't be an a**hole your whole life.
00:18:55.000 Now, given what's transpired, one might think that Mr. Monticelli would take the L and never speak of this embarrassing performance again.
00:19:05.000 But that's not what insane people do!
00:19:06.000 Instead, he took to Twitter to declare victory and attempt to dox our car.
00:19:11.000 It looks like someone might be getting a little obsessed.
00:19:27.000 Why are you so obsessed with me?
00:19:29.000 This is the kind of delusional behavior which can only be exhibited by people who've evaded accountability or being beholden to any form of truth throughout their entire lives.
00:19:40.000 That's long form for professional journalist.
00:19:43.000 So, I mean, he pulled out some statistics.
00:19:45.000 But what kind of behavior would you expect from someone who was fired for reporting fake news and is currently facing a defamation lawsuit?
00:19:53.000 Now, granted, Mr. Montesmelli is innocent, until proven guilty, but he's also been accused of, and admitted to, making inappropriate sexual remarks to random women.
00:20:02.000 Shit.
00:20:03.000 That's true.
00:20:04.000 But hey, we all make repeatedly the same mistakes, right?
00:20:08.000 They all do.
00:20:09.000 I don't know, am I just being too harsh?
00:20:11.000 Comment below and let Mr. Monticelli know what you think of his time in the spotlight.
00:20:17.000 Now, luckily for the country, not everyone is like Mr. Monticelli over here, and in the final installment of our three-part series on this topic, we'll be able to get back to the basics of Change My Mind with some folks who were happy to take part, sit down, have conversations, and honestly made me glad to have done it.
00:20:33.000 So come back Monday, April 11th, to check that out if you aren't already tuning in to The Daily Show at 10 a.m.
00:20:39.000 Eastern.
00:20:41.000 Steven, we were actually able to get the Zoom and Enhance completed on Monticelli's phone.
00:20:45.000 Oh, really?
00:20:46.000 Were we able to get it?
00:20:47.000 We'll bring it in.
00:20:48.000 That's Jason Bourne.
00:21:01.000 Hey, if you liked this video, click one of these other videos.

00:21:14.000 I'd highly recommend it.
00:21:16.000 Send your email to Crowdershop.com, where this shirt is available, and Dave Landau's shirt.
00:21:21.000 Ooh.
00:21:22.000 Right?
00:21:22.000 They should boycott Crowdershop and send their email there.
00:21:26.000 They should.
00:21:27.000 They should also.
00:21:27.000 I will send them this exact shirt with my smell on it for an extra ten.
00:21:32.000 Also, we have a DNA scraper filled with dead skin cells from Dave Landau.
00:21:36.000 The thing is, if you want to send your complaint and boycott letter at Crowdershop.com,
