It's a slow news week, but that doesn't stop us from bringing you the scariest things going on in the world. James O'Keefe, Dean Cain, and Owen Benjamin join host Alex Blumberg on the show to discuss the latest in the Bill Cosby scandal, the latest on Rudy Gobert, and much, much more.
00:02:44.000So what bothers you more Uh, the media outrage at Donald Trump's warning to the Mexican caravan, or Hollywood's retroactive feminist outrage at Disney princesses.
00:03:33.000Just so you know, a lot of people are going, oh, hold on, I tried to sign up at Eventbrite or levelcracker.com slash tour, and it was sold out.
00:03:37.000No, no, we actually just reserved a big-ass room, Pierpoint's Common Lounge.
00:03:41.000There will be an overflow party with prizes, costume contests, and our buddy Eric Nimmer will be there.
00:05:29.000Look, I actually feel bad for these people, but how terrible are, like, all of the other countries are basically pointing them north and handing them a map.
00:05:38.000Like, they're not stopping them at any borders or anything.
00:05:41.000I get that you're trying to escape hell, but don't come here.
00:06:49.000The thing about leftists, they don't see individuals, so it's just women.
00:06:53.000When she says I feel bad for women, or it sucks being a woman, she's basically saying it sucks being me, and I don't know how to say individual, so I just say a demographic.
00:07:04.000This is like a beatdown for men every day.
00:08:37.000The spider, by the way, was later detained and questioned regarding assault on a police officer, as well as his involvement with the Arachnid Brotherhood.
00:09:20.000Yeah, we were driving by there one time.
00:09:21.000We were on a road trip, Johnny boy and I. Like, what is that?
00:09:24.000We walked up, and just the look on her face was, oh.
00:09:28.000It's just... It almost looks as though you're... It looks as though you're staring at a tree through a cheesecloth, and it's just a film of spiderwebs.
00:09:38.000Someone tweet me at Ask Ryder, or tweet the pictures.
00:12:05.000No, no, I mean, not a real dog because he still has sex with me, you know, but... If we could just treat these people as crazy, if they were, if they were okay with like, yeah, I'm kind of psychotic, I'd be okay with that.
00:12:15.000But they're saying, no, I'm completely normal.
00:13:15.000Two days ago, with Jazz Jennings, who's talking about, you know, this little mishap where it came apart, talking about his, her, her penis, or his penis, to a girl.
00:14:49.000What's the Where Caitlyn Jenner just becomes a walking Barbie doll, and it's like, hey, I think I'm... So all of the stereotypes that we have perpetuated as a society, or a patriarchal society of women, that's all these transgenders really attempt to fulfill.
00:15:05.000They just end up being a walking stereotype of a woman, but we never call on that as totally accepted.
00:16:37.000I don't really care, made news recently for taking issue with the classic Disney princess film.
00:16:42.000So both kind of took different approaches, but again, if you Google Keira Knightley, if you Google Kristen Bell, you can see just, just, A laundry list of feminist complaints and male bashing.
00:16:52.000But in this instance they were both very specific about the Disney films they hate and why.
00:16:56.000Let's start with Nightly's problems with I think Little Mermaid and Cinderella.
00:17:56.000Saying that she wasn't comfortable with Disney films.
00:17:57.000These are some quotes from Kristen Bell.
00:17:58.000Every time we close Snow White and I look at my girls, I ask, don't you think it's weird that Snow White didn't ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple?
00:19:13.000You saw the ride, you bought a ticket anyway.
00:19:17.000Then Kristen Bell, she goes on to add, don't you think that it's weird that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission because you cannot kiss someone when they're sleeping?
00:21:46.000So my problem here is just that we're saying all people have to be all things, and we have to change anything retroactive that might be considered offensive, and I don't think there's anything offensive about this.
00:21:54.000If you look at the way these women, these female princesses in Disney are portrayed, they're always portrayed as capable, but submissive, like Snow White, Ariel, Cinderella.
00:22:01.000And then the men are always portrayed as strong men who are gentle and loving with the woman, men who will slay the beast.
00:22:18.000And that's the part of the Bible that most people skip over because it says wives be submissive to your husbands, but right after that it says husbands love your wife and lay down your life for her.
00:22:26.000There's nothing wrong with laying down your life for your wife, okay?
00:22:29.000She should be submissive in that point.
00:23:43.000And by the way, she also, she uses her one wish to be proactive and fix a situation and then the prince is saying, oh, listen, I'm going to use this slipper just to guarantee that I don't wind up with those bitches.
00:23:53.000Speaking of which, hit the notification bell because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot on YouTube and join Mug Club if you're enjoying the show.

00:24:09.000I kind of want to know where feminists want us to fall down right now because we're this toxic masculinity thing that's being portrayed out there in the culture is that men are too overbearing.
00:24:17.000And then you get this prince in these shows, right, that is actually not overbearing at all.
00:25:33.000Which is, by the way, another funny thing to me.
00:25:35.000First off, I'm much more inclined to believe that Devil's Triangle—we didn't talk about this a ton on air—is a drinking game because you're writing about it publicly in your yearbook.
00:25:42.000And again, we're using urban dictionary from the last five years to try and apply it.
00:27:25.000So the point is, by the way, if there were any doubt as to how she felt about the prince, she goes on to sing about meeting her prince again.
00:29:08.000So, the prince has sacrificed his safety in a lot of ways, and obviously he's basically leaving the safety of the kingdom, searching for Snow White.
00:29:15.000When he finds her, by the way, he doesn't think she's sleeping.
00:29:54.000Now we have dating apps that have consent that you can actually click on, both of you, so that you have consent in writing before you do something like that.
00:31:24.000So basically you treat your wife like a little brother where you're doing the loogie and you keep sucking it back and you're like, is it sexy?
00:31:31.000Alright, let's go to the next example.
00:33:38.000Just like men, if left to their own devices, women would not be able to physically protect themselves.
00:33:44.000Just like men would not do well taking care of themselves without the support of its complementarianism.
00:33:48.000Disney inadvertently recognized the virtue in traditional heterosexual relationships and the values that each person brings uniquely therein.
00:34:23.000And one other thing that really bothers me is not only can you not look at previous words, like we talked about Devil's Triangle with today's definition, a lot of people think that fiction is up to interpretation.
00:34:31.000That's part of what is enjoyable about fiction, is that you can kind of take from it what you want.
00:34:36.000That being said, not all interpretations are as valid.
00:34:39.000So if a feminist is looking at this saying, well, hold on a second, I'm watching Disney, I'm seeing Beauty and the Beast, and I'm seeing a woman who's locked in, no, I'm seeing a strong, intelligent, nerdy woman who's also getting stuff and sacrifices her well-being for her father, right, to save his life, and then ultimately she sacrifices herself for the Beast, for the Beast's love, then the Beast ends up sacrificing himself against Gaston for the woman.
00:35:01.000This is all about people actually being brave and dying to oneself.
00:35:06.000As we know as Christians, you die to the flesh every single day.
00:35:09.000That's what this is about, and I know that they maybe didn't necessarily mean it to be that deep, but it's not fair to look at these old Disney films through today's lens and act as though your interpretation is just as valid.
00:35:20.000No, because you know what, if you were to ask the screenwriter, if you were to ask the author, if you were to say, hold on, was this meant to be an anti-woman screen, was this really meant to, and the guy would say, no, it's what Steven said.
00:35:31.000It was, yeah, it was just Princess Damsel.
00:35:37.000And to try and act as though it was... And the reason we're doing this is because we want to act as though there's some kind of conspiratorial patriarchy behind Disney films.
00:35:45.000Now, granted, the phallic symbol on top of the castle on the old Little Mermaid VHS, it's a little messed up.
00:36:39.000It means he did something nice for you, and he's probably more effective at getting you a surprise gift of flowers than you can for yourself, unless you're a paranoid schizophrenic like Bernie Sanders.
00:36:48.000He's the only one who's able to surprise you with flowers.
00:40:38.000So all this fallout, Stephen, and every local TV station is covering it, and there's a debate.
00:40:43.000There's a Senate debate tonight in Missouri.
00:40:46.000So this whole thing is sort of blown up.
00:40:49.000Do you think she's still just a little bit upset that she obviously represents a previous slave state?
00:40:53.000Do you think she's just some guilt bubbling over?
00:40:58.000I think there's a lot of bizarre dynamics.
00:41:01.000I'm from New Jersey, I'm new to the Missouri thing, but I think that the politics of Missouri are so bizarre, because people in the Democratic Party are very moderate, and they have to kind of deceive certain voters, and they're all admitting this.
00:41:19.000Well, it's the political reality of the Midwest.
00:41:21.000Do you think it's because it's sort of that Midwest appeal, where you have kind of the workers, sort of this union mentality, this sort of beltway, kind of traditionally blue, blue dog Democrats, but They're not really the dyed-in-the-wool leftists like you would have in San Francisco or in Portland, and so the Democrat politicians kind of try to... they try to fake as though they represent that.
00:41:45.000I think that there are certain states like Missouri, and there are dying parts of the Democratic Party, and in order to get elected into the Senate as a Democrat in that state, you have to mislead, or at least they think they do.
00:42:55.000And I think it's just an incredibly damning piece of video that we've got, and the knee-jerk reaction is to just put him in jail, put O'Keefe in jail.
00:43:24.000It's a fascinating question because I think once in a while, even people on the left, they'll send me private emails, the New York Times or the Washington Post.
00:43:33.000They do send me private emails, private messages, and they'll say, one of them said, how did you get that guy to talk?
00:43:41.000It's like they're impressed by what we're able to show, because if you're a traditional reporter, your sources are either anonymous or they're on the record.
00:43:51.000And they're not gonna be as honest, and they're not gonna be as transparent.
00:43:55.000So when you have campaign officials saying, we have to lie to get elected, It's so, it's so damning.
00:44:03.000And in a state like Missouri, what she's saying, banning semi-automatic rifles, in New Jersey or California or New York, that might sound like a typical, you cannot say that in Missouri and get elected.
00:44:16.000And even if you could not say it in New Jersey, if people in New Jersey could understand what semi-automatic rifle meant or read it, but particularly as it relates to semi, people think semi-automatic, they think it's burst fire.
00:44:26.000No, it just means pretty much every rifle that's not a pump action shotgun or lever action rifle.
00:44:31.000So even then, it's really just because a lot of these people who are bicoastal, they're not entirely aware of what these terms mean.
00:44:38.000No, I was talking more as far as someone you've actually stung?
00:44:55.000Well, you know, Steve, I did confront I did confront like you know sixty minutes mike wallace used to this i've started this now i can front the subject on the street and so what mccaskill sky next to roast i don't know if you have this clip handy but actually walked up to him up as he's walking into his camera i can't pay my ipad i show the footage.
00:45:15.000I'm not authorized to speak to the press.
00:45:17.000I'm not authorized to speak to the press.
00:45:18.000I said, Nick, you already are in the press at every local, literally every local TV station, KTVI, KCWE, ABC News, every TV station in Missouri is playing you right now.
00:45:32.000I don't know if they're going to fire these people or if they're going to stand behind them.
00:45:38.000They have admitted they've said what they've said.
00:45:40.000So in this case, no, they're not acknowledging that you got me.
00:45:46.000They have not acknowledged that in this case.
00:45:47.000Yeah, I haven't seen anyone acknowledge that, ever, at any point.
00:45:49.000I'm just curious, you know, because it happened with us, we do this Crowd or Confront segment, it's not really going after politicians, but inaccuracy in the media, or people who threatened, you know, to kill me, and so then we find them, and one was this writer for the Austin Chronicle, who described an entire video that was uploaded, but never actually uploaded the video, put the video, embedded it in her article.
00:46:11.000And that's because she omitted certain key details, like the fact that the other subject in the video actually plotted to slash my tires.
00:46:19.000And I said, you know, you write in your article that the six-foot-three Stephen, you know, 220-pound Stephen Crowder approaches us, and you make, really kind of create this sort of victim and villain scenario, but why didn't you show the video where she says she did plot, she's like, well, do you want me to quote you on that?
00:46:47.000It is amazing the kind of... I one time... I don't know if you ever had this because people often talk about, well, this is misleading and it's unethical for James O'Keefe.
00:47:47.000Do newspaper reporters make you say something or do you just say it?
00:47:51.000It's just, I mean, no, we're living in a very tribal world where no one's ever going to admit fault, but that's the beauty of covert recordings.
00:48:01.000Let me just address this for a minute because I think our world is changing and I think people need to know why this is the future, these surreptitious recordings.
00:48:12.000We have no duty to keep confidential what people tell us, no more than when someone, when you write down what someone says, when someone tells you something, you write it down, you share it with the world.
00:48:39.000I always wondered that when you, you know, you're watching the films or, you know, you have the April O'Neil's of the world going, all right, can I get a quote?
00:48:45.000And they're writing it down on a notepad.
00:48:46.000I'm going, you couldn't possibly have, you couldn't have written all that down.
00:53:24.000You went from Indian to Japanese really quickly.
00:53:28.000I went from how to I don't know and I have a tucky.
00:53:33.000No, the 23andMe, I talked about this with one of my doctors, my psychiatrist, because people are going to look, he's crazy.
00:53:39.000We did genetic testing and they've been using this for quite a while.
00:53:42.000And I'm what they call a super-metabolizer.
00:53:45.000So in other words, it's very difficult for me to get drunk, or when they put me under for surgery, both times I said, count backwards from 10, and I counted backwards from 10 twice.
00:53:54.000So they had to up it to the maximum gas dose, and they seemed surprised, and they looked into my genetic, and they go, oh, okay, well, this actually makes sense.
00:54:01.000There's this kind of, you know, whatever it is.
00:54:04.000I don't, there's like a, there's a whole thing about it.
00:54:06.000But the point is, I sat down with a doctor, but I didn't use it to necessarily prove that I was 1,000th, 24th, No, I mean, I haven't noticed that.
00:54:17.000At least, I haven't been involved in that in the casting process or seen that.
00:55:21.000And he's doing it, it's the funniest thing.
00:55:22.000All right, before we get to Gosnell, obviously, important movie, let's show the clip that we do have of, you had a dust up with none other than, than, than Tom Arnold.
00:55:33.000He accused you of being a racist or something?
00:55:36.000Yeah, he accused me on Twitter of being racist and anti-LBGT and then said I was complicit because I spoke at the Values Voter Summit about the film Gosnell.
00:55:47.000So he said that, you know, because you were there, you are guilty by association and these are the people you run around with and you're a racist and you're anti-LGBT.
00:55:56.000Well, it just turns out that I was going to do politicking with Larry King at the same day he was there.
00:56:17.000I was there to talk about the film Goths Now, but I thought he didn't see, he just called me a racist like five days ago, but he's not saying a word about it.
00:56:23.000And so then he gets ready to leave and I go, Tom, you called me a racist.
00:57:19.000Basically, he said, oh, I wasn't talking about you, I wasn't talking about you, and was very, very, um, not apologetic, but certainly wasn't, um, wasn't the guy that he was the next few days on Twitter, where he was like, Dean Cain's a p***y and I should have kicked his ass and blah, blah, blah.
00:57:34.000I mean, he saw your guns and was like, I didn't say that.
00:57:36.000I don't know what you're talking about.
00:57:39.000If you're going to call somebody that on Twitter, call them that to their face.
00:58:50.000And a coward will do anything to get out of a tough situation.
00:58:52.000So no, I didn't expect that he would say, you are a damn racist and blah blah blah, because if he had done that then he was least secure in his convictions.
00:59:00.000But I'm the farthest thing from a racist.
00:59:19.000Yeah, well, you should have just slapped down your 23 in me and said, all right, Tom, your move, and then say, I think you're the white supremacist.
00:59:26.000He called me a white supremacist in my face, just a racist, which I'm not sure what that's about.
00:59:29.000And then he also said the film Gosnell was some putrid pile of, you know, whatever.
00:59:34.000Of course, this was like four days before it was released.
00:59:37.000It was like four days before it was released, and I know he didn't see one of the screenings, so How did he know that was a terrible movie?
01:00:29.000I keep hearing people talk about how they saw the film and it's family members and friends of families and people that I know and trust and they say they saw the film in a decently crowded theater and it was dead silent through the credits and then it sparked conversation and it's things that people are talking about days and days afterward and it sticks with them and they're having the conversations because it's the kind of film that makes you think twice.
01:00:52.000I'm a pro-choice guy up until Viability of the Fetus.
01:01:36.000Obviously, I'm pro-life and I don't want to get into a whole debate about it, but that argument, the more science comes in, ironically, the less viable that argument is.
01:01:43.000Because today, for example... Yes, I know.
01:01:45.000You have a baby that's born in New York City.
01:01:47.000It's viable because it's, you know, in Lenox Hill Hospital versus the hills of West Virginia.
01:03:57.000And she bolted out of there and had her child, you know, and she gives incredibly powerful testimony.
01:04:03.000Uh, it's so the film isn't, it isn't gory, but it really, it'll make you think that it'll make you talk about it in the way that we should be talking about it.
01:04:11.000And the truth is there's probably, Clinics like that all over the country right now that people aren't aware of.
01:04:16.000Yeah, that they absolutely do exist all over the country.
01:04:18.000And one thing, again, you know, take a step back even further, you know, let's go to Planned Parenthood.
01:04:21.000Everyone goes, well, hold on, that's sensible.
01:04:23.000Well, actually, at Planned Parenthood, they are still taught to upsell.
01:04:26.000Abortion is where they make all of their money.
01:04:28.000We've talked about this idea that I think it's what, only 7% of their profit comes from, 7% of the revenue comes from abortion.
01:04:33.000So if you go in for an abortion, they do the math where doctor visit, ultrasound, medicine, the procedure.
01:04:38.000So basically, you've gone in for an abortion, but it counts as one of five services.
01:04:52.000We had her on the show, I believe, actually first before a book came out.
01:04:54.000And she was a former director of Planned Parenthood.
01:04:56.000And she said, we were told to basically get them in the stirrups and upsell them on abortion because that's the only way Planned Parenthood made money.
01:05:57.000It doesn't make it okay to see it, but you can compartmentalize to some degree.
01:06:01.000The thing is, we were shooting this stuff in the clinic.
01:06:04.000And we're shooting the clinic stuff, and I'm looking at the stuff, and there's cats running around, and unsterilized equipment, and trash bags full of, quote, fetuses, and, you know, milk cartons in the refrigerator full of fetuses, and babies' feet in jars.
01:06:15.000And I kind of, I said to the guys, I go, guys, you know, I know we're, we're, we're doing this, and you set deck all this stuff, and you put this stuff, but aren't we pushing it a little far?
01:06:22.000I mean, aren't we just taking it a little far?
01:06:24.000And they go, you want to see the real footage?
01:06:26.000So yeah, let me, show me the real stuff.
01:06:46.000And he was also dealing drugs, and he thinks he did nothing wrong.
01:06:49.000He thinks he's helping these young girls out.
01:06:52.000It's just a frightening thing, and I just hope people continue to go out and see the film.
01:06:56.000Anne and Philem are meticulous about that.
01:06:57.000I mean, they do stage plays that are entirely based on transcripts and court testimony, so it's not the kind of thing they would mess around with because their entire reputation does rest on accuracy.
01:07:08.000So where can people find out as to where it's playing near them?
01:08:04.000French Canada, you pretty much start with a whole pack anyway.
01:08:06.000Really quickly, I know you have some other... I think you said you were filming like two films last week?
01:08:12.000Is there anything that you can kind of tease a little bit for people, or no?
01:08:15.000The biggest thing I want to tease now is a documentary that I'm doing, that I exec produced again.
01:08:19.000I did the one about the Armenian genocide that's been huge, Architects of Denial.
01:08:23.000I'm currently doing one called Hate Among Us, which is...
01:08:26.000Deals with the rise of antisemitism throughout the world and the rise in the number of people who are denying that the Holocaust took place.
01:08:34.000So it's kind of a strange world, you know, that people go, no, that didn't happen.
01:09:41.000So the Armenian Genocide, I know that documentary is out there.
01:09:43.000And you know, listen, the worst case scenario, you deny the Armenian Genocide, you just get the biggest, biggest, most highly supported YouTube news channel there is.
01:09:51.000You know, you become the main host of it.
01:10:53.000First off, it's not THE Mug Club, it's Mug Club.
01:10:55.000As a matter of fact, saying Mug Club instead of THE Mug Club, the fact that you don't even have to specify THE means it's really, it is the only one that matters.
01:11:01.000Ukraine's like that, it's just Ukraine, not THE Ukraine.
01:13:30.000This show started, a lot of people don't know this.
01:13:33.000Effectively as an AM radio show up in Ann Arbor, Detroit, when it started.
01:13:38.000Before that, I had just done YouTube videos, short-form videos, but then it started as a three-hour morning show and then developed into what you see now.
01:13:44.000So, looking forward to getting back there and, of course, being protested.
01:13:47.000Speaking of which, there's something I wanted to talk about.
01:13:50.000I know the last couple of episodes has been practical advice, but it hasn't necessarily been inspiring.
01:13:54.000This is something that actually, when I was up north here taking a semi-long weekend, that hit me.
01:14:18.000And, um, she has a friend... I'm trying to think of how to do this without... I don't... I never want to reveal personal information that embarrasses anyone.
01:14:25.000This is a friend of the family, just a tremendous woman, uh, whose husband had passed away in the last, um, I think year and a half.
01:14:35.000And she was talking about how hard it was.
01:14:38.000And when we asked how she was doing, you know, it's one of those things where you often ask people, hey, how are you doing?
01:14:42.000And it leaves your mouth and you realize, oh, wait.
01:15:11.000And she said that's what drove her off the edge.
01:15:13.000She said it was just one more thing, and the furnace went out, and I was thinking, how am I going to fix this?
01:15:18.000And she said something that I think we've all said to ourselves, and I've heard a lot, and I read this a lot in the emails that you send me.
01:15:22.000She said, I just, I don't think I can handle one more thing.
01:15:26.000I'm at the point where I just can't handle one more thing, is what she said, and that stuck with me.
01:15:31.000What I'm about to say, by the way, do not take as anything less than completely sympathetic to this woman in a horrible situation.
01:15:37.000I know a lot of people out there going through similar situations, some people going through situations that are even worse, some that might not be as bad.
01:15:45.000Matter of fact, not to get too much off on the tangent, but that's why we're going to U of M. That's why we created an overflow party after the room got full, the auditorium, the theater got completely full, and it's hosted by Eric Nimmer, because, listen, we know that on campuses, especially places like Ann Arbor, no one has been othered, no one has been marginalized more than Right leaning, more than conservative students.
01:16:05.000It doesn't matter if you're black, you're yellow, white, male, female, trans, if you're a conservative on campus, you've got some crap to deal with.
01:16:11.000You've been berated by students, or by the current mobs, the M word we're not supposed to say, you've been failed by professors, you're afraid to speak out, and every now and then you probably just come to that point where you say, I just, I don't think I can, you get an F on a paper, I just don't think I can handle one more thing.
01:16:24.000I'm not saying that to compare it to someone whose husband died.
01:16:27.000The point is, everyone has a different burden to bear.
01:16:30.000A little kid loses his toy, it doesn't seem like a big deal to us.
01:16:33.000In his scope of reality, that's the worst thing that's ever happened to him.
01:16:36.000He doesn't have anything to compare it to.
01:16:39.000So I understand that for a lot of people, this seems as big of a deal.
01:16:42.000We've often thrown our hands up, I just don't think I can handle one more thing.
01:16:45.000You're at that point, you're at the edge.
01:16:47.000And that's what this lady said, those words, I just don't think I can handle one more thing.
01:16:57.000Often I see people, and I get these emails, I'm at the end of my rope!
01:17:00.000I don't know that I can handle one more thing.
01:17:01.000The good news is, you usually, almost always can.
01:17:04.000Now don't misconstrue what I'm saying here, and what I'm about to say.
01:17:06.000I'm not saying that you should be living your life in a constant state of crisis, where you always feel like you're at the end of your rope.
01:17:12.000You're always redlining the engine, because that's a bad thing.
01:17:17.000And that's why it's so important to push yourself in a controlled environment, to learn your limits, so that you aren't constantly pushing them.
01:17:23.000So I'm not saying you can always take one more thing.
01:18:38.000You not only handled one more thing, you probably had to handle five, ten, twenty, a hundred more things, and you're still here.
01:18:44.000And for the most part, if you put that moment in your life, you're probably better off now.
01:18:50.000Again, if you're being removed from that chapter, having handled that, or multiple more issues that arose, you're probably in a better place now than you were then.
01:18:59.000There are some people out there, maybe the problem you're facing right now is actually legitimately worse than this situation that you thought of in your head.
01:19:06.000The situation that was previously the hardest time in your life, and you're answering this question going, actually I think right now this is worse.
01:19:14.000I know this isn't going to sound like good news.
01:19:16.000You'll probably have a harder situation down the line than this one.
01:19:21.000Which means that down the line, you'll be looking back at this situation, even though it's harder than the one you just pictured five or ten years ago.
01:19:27.000But five or ten years from now, you'll look back on this as a time where you said, I can't handle one more thing, and you did it anyway.
01:20:31.000Almost invariably, when you say, I just can't handle one more thing, good news, you're wrong.
01:20:39.000You almost always, let me rephrase that.
01:20:42.000Don't even think of it as saying anything to yourself that I can't handle.
01:20:46.000Because that voice, that voice saying you can't, that's not you.
01:20:48.000So right now, make that decision, that the voice you hear saying, I'm at the end of my rope, I don't think I can handle one more thing, it's not you.
01:20:55.000It's a voice saying you're at the end of your rope.
01:20:57.000It's a voice saying you can't handle one more thing.
01:20:59.000Now you don't know who that voice is, maybe you're a paranoid schizophrenic, maybe you did bath salts, maybe you did too much dab before your cerebral cortex was fully developed, whatever, I don't know.
01:21:06.000That guy, that voice, that's another guy.
01:21:09.000You're the guy, or girl, who can always take one more thing.
01:22:17.000It's a question I often ask of people who are the best in any situation, whether it was Brendan Shaw, George St.
01:22:22.000Pierre, you know, what's harder to accept?
01:22:25.000The mistakes that you could have avoided, where you go back and go, oh, I should have done this, or when you've done everything right, when you've done everything correctly, and you've come up short anyway.
01:22:35.000Almost invariably, the people who are successful, the people who are the best in their given field say, I think it's when I made a mistake myself.
01:22:43.000Because they can sleep, they can put their head in the pillow saying, I know, I know I did my best.
01:22:47.000There was nothing else in my control that I could have improved upon.
01:22:51.000If you don't, these issues will bother you for the rest of your life.
01:22:56.000So for those of you out there feeling like you can't handle one more thing, let me read it.
