The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1002 - I Am A Terrorist, According To The Left

00:00:00.140 Today on the Matt Wall Show, according to the left, I am a literal terrorist for criticizing

00:00:04.560 them, and so are you, actually. But this is a special kind of terrorism that they just made

00:00:08.840 up, and I'll tell you all about it. Also, Fauci declares himself a symbol of integrity and truth.

00:00:13.860 More horrifying videos from Boston Children's Hospital come to light describing the sorts of

00:00:17.920 Frankenstein gender affirmation procedures they inflict on their patients. The EU makes another

00:00:22.520 pitch for eating bugs. In our daily cancellation, an author takes heat for criticizing the increasing

00:00:27.660 trend towards remote work, but is there some merit to his criticism? We'll discuss all of that

00:00:32.160 and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:43.160 I want to talk to you about American financing, America's home for home loans, because I really

00:00:47.520 think that you could benefit from one of their 10-minute mortgage reviews. It's a free, no-obligation

00:00:51.840 conversation around your current loan, some of your other debt, and even buying a new home as well.

00:00:57.380 Whatever you want to talk about with your salary-based mortgage consultant, you can talk about it with

00:01:01.480 them, because they're focused on you, not a commission. Let them run the numbers for you,

00:01:05.600 seeing if they can save you up to $1,000 a month, and if they can, they can move forward with a new

00:01:11.300 custom loan and start saving you more money immediately. American financing is a family-owned

00:01:16.100 company that is family-focused, and they never charge any upfront or hidden fees. It's worth the call

00:01:21.020 to learn more, and especially these days when we're all looking for ways to save money, and you can't,

00:01:27.840 you know, you can't look to the White House to help you out with that. You've got to take charge of it

00:01:31.840 yourself. So here's what you've got to do. Call 866-569-4711. That's 866-569-4711. Or visit

00:01:38.320 AmericanFinancing.net, NMLS, 182334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org.

00:01:45.580 Every few weeks or so, the left will stumble upon a new favorite word or phrase that they will then

00:01:51.440 proceed to throw around with reckless abandon until, in very short order, we're all sick to

00:01:56.200 death of hearing a term that nobody was saying seven minutes before. The term that they favor the

00:02:02.060 most and which have the greatest chance of being adopted into the leftist lexicon is the term that

00:02:09.020 accomplishes two things. One, it has to be useful in labeling and dismissing their political opponents.

00:02:16.420 That's the most important thing. But two, it must also, they hope anyway, make them sound smart.

00:02:22.600 And they will, of course, then use the term without explaining what it's supposed to mean,

00:02:27.080 as if everybody should already know. Never mind that they themselves didn't know what it meant until

00:02:31.600 they dug the term up a moment before or else simply invented it out of whole cloth. But then

00:02:36.440 they trot it out and use it and say, what, you don't know what this means? It's a kind of an

00:02:40.880 intellectual power play to use words that you know the people that are hearing you won't know

00:02:45.280 what they mean. They're gonna have to go look it up. And then that makes you smarter. And that brings

00:02:49.940 us to our new term of the week. It's very exciting. It's one that you've never heard before in your

00:02:55.340 life and would have never had any use for, even if you did hear it, but which the left has

00:03:00.100 recently glommed onto. The magic phrase is this. Here it is. Stochastic terrorism.

00:03:09.080 Now, I discovered the crime of stochastic terrorism just yesterday, as I learned simultaneously

00:03:15.320 that I am guilty of it. There's nothing like learning about a crime when you also learn that

00:03:20.620 you have done that crime. It's a very terrible thing. It seems that I have engaged in this form

00:03:26.120 of terrorism many times in my life, but especially this week after I, along with many other people,

00:03:32.300 called attention to the Boston Children's Hospital's practice of drugging, sterilizing,

00:03:37.780 castrating, and mutilating kids. Now, I say that I called attention to this and that there are other

00:03:43.400 conservatives calling attention to it, and we did, but we weren't the first ones. Actually,

00:03:47.500 Boston Children's Hospital, Boston Children's Hospital, they're the ones who called attention to it

00:03:52.020 at first by making videos about these procedures that they conduct and then putting those videos

00:03:58.580 online. And then what some of us did is that we took those videos and we said, hey, everybody,

00:04:03.800 look at these videos. Isn't that terrible? Well, that, we have now learned, is a form of stochastic

00:04:12.100 terrorism. Somebody named Alejandra Caraballo, a trans activist and lawyer, took to Twitter to trot out

00:04:19.400 the new favorite term and to also call for my banishment from the platform. The tweet says,

00:04:25.580 Twitter is just sitting on their asses while libs of TikTok, Matt Walsh, Christopher Rufo,

00:04:30.720 and Billboard Chris use this platform to drive a stochastic terrorism campaign against Boston

00:04:36.780 Children's Hospital. Is it going to take a provider getting killed for them to act? Another verified lib,

00:04:43.400 Pete Woods, agreed, saying, at this point, Twitter absolutely knows that the account in question

00:04:49.240 uses their platform to engage in stochastic terrorism. They're simply more concerned

00:04:54.520 about the backlash and the effect on their stock prices if the account is banned. That makes them

00:05:00.060 a willing participant. Then a doctor named Michael O'Brien, with pride flags and pronouns in his bio,

00:05:07.360 joined in the chorus, focusing his ire on the libs of TikTok account specifically. He posted,

00:05:12.000 stochastic terrorism is real terrorism. Shia Raichik has mastered this and has been wielding her wide

00:05:19.440 influence against LGBTQ Americans for months. So yes, Shia Raichik is participating in domestic

00:05:26.140 terrorism. But it's not just Boston Children's Hospital that has come under assault by this still

00:05:32.640 undefined sort of terrorism. Another trans activist, Aaron Reid, accused me yesterday of committing

00:05:38.240 stochastically terroristic acts against Eli Ehrlich, the trans drug dealer who sends illegal prescription

00:05:43.420 pills to minors. Actually, the true victim of my terrorism is apparently Ehrlich School,

00:05:48.300 University of California, Santa Cruz, because I've encouraged people to reach out to administrative

00:05:52.620 officials there and ask them why they haven't taken any steps to investigate the drug dealing

00:05:57.920 operation being run by one of their PhD candidates. In response to that, Aaron tweeted,

00:06:02.460 whatever you think about Eli, Matt Walsh releasing faculty info with a video titled,

00:06:08.420 The Trans Militants Must Be Stopped is stochastic terrorism. Violent attacks on trans people,

00:06:14.780 teachers, libraries, and LGBTQ centers are at an all-time high. He knows what he's doing.

00:06:21.680 Now, we're going to simply ignore the bit at the end about how libraries and teachers are suffering

00:06:28.340 through a historic epidemic of violent attacks. Libraries? Really? There's an epidemic of violent

00:06:34.640 attacks on libraries? Now, like most everything else that trans activists say, that's just pure

00:06:41.340 fiction. I mean, they just invent things constantly because they have no interest in the truth whatsoever.

00:06:49.300 And this is yet another thing invented on the spot because it's just useful. It would be useful to the

00:06:54.400 point if it were true that there's an epidemic of violence against libraries and LGBTQ centers.

00:07:02.620 And so we'll just say that there is. Invented. Not unlike the term stochastic terrorism itself.

00:07:10.520 Though there is some precedent for this term. Way back on Sunday of this week, Daily Beast columnist

00:07:16.280 Wajahat Ali was tweeting about this newly invented scourge. He said, more media outlets and politicians

00:07:22.520 need to start talking about the GOP's stochastic terrorism. The right-wing media's deliberate fanning

00:07:29.200 of conspiracy theories and demonization is radicalizing people to threaten violence against

00:07:34.600 law enforcement, journalists, elected officials, etc. Oh, now he's concerned about violence against

00:07:41.720 law enforcement. Not only that, but he's worried about reckless rhetoric that may put law enforcement

00:07:50.700 officers at risk. I mean, never mind the fact that people like Wajahat Ali and everybody else on the

00:07:57.320 left have spent years claiming that law enforcement by and large are a bunch of white Klansmen, white

00:08:06.960 supremacists, murderers prowling the street, hunting unarmed black men and murdering them for sport.

00:08:13.140 That's not demonization of law enforcement. Not at all. It's criticizing the FBI. That's what's

00:08:21.160 demonizing law enforcement. Now, a week before that, a website called Press Watch had an article

00:08:28.460 promoting the term with the headline, the phrase you're looking for is stochastic terrorism. And a

00:08:34.040 week before that, the leftist rag mother Jones published an article accusing Donald Trump of the

00:08:38.480 crime of stochastic terrorism. So this is starting to pick up steam is what I'm saying. What does it

00:08:43.640 mean then? Well, the first answer is that it doesn't really mean anything at all. The second is that

00:08:50.540 it was apparently invented by the left-wing blogosphere a few years ago. And now, according to

00:08:56.600 dictionary.com anyway, it means this. The public demonization of a person or group resulting in the

00:09:03.420 incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable, but whose specifics cannot be predicted.

00:09:11.780 Ah, well, now you see why they find this concept so useful. It's easy to find a concept useful if you

00:09:19.800 made it up, which they did. But you can see there, if you demonize someone or some group, then you're not

00:09:28.820 only guilty of hate speech, which is an already ill-defined concept, but you're now a terrorist.

00:09:35.700 You're also guilty of incitement, even if you're not directly or indirectly calling for any violence

00:09:42.320 at all. You don't have to call for violence or say anything about violence or anything like that

00:09:48.560 to be guilty of incitement. As long as a violent act may be considered statistically probable in response

00:09:56.720 to your statement, then you're guilty. Well, who decides the statistical probability of future

00:10:03.660 acts carried out by people in response to what other people have said? Well, the blue checkmark

00:10:09.460 trans activists on Twitter, they decide. And the media decides. And various other authority figures.

00:10:18.360 Now, needless to say, of course, this does not go the other way around. I am demonized,

00:10:25.840 as I mentioned yesterday, defamed a thousand times a day by these very same people. But they're not

00:10:31.880 guilty of stochastic terrorism against me for the simple reason that they obviously didn't invent the

00:10:37.540 concept in order to hold themselves accountable by it. They invented it to silence their enemies and

00:10:44.020 for no other reason. And so that's what they use it for. Now, this brings us to the question,

00:10:51.500 whether we call it terrorism or stochastic terrorism or any other kind of terrorism,

00:10:57.440 is it actually true that we're demonizing Boston Children's Hospital? Well, no. I mean,

00:11:05.580 it's not true that we're demonizing Boston Children's Hospital any more than we demonize

00:11:10.120 the groomer teachers by calling them groomers. Because that's terrorism too, by the way, now.

00:11:15.880 Well, we know for a long time, the left has been on this campaign of, well, you're not allowed to

00:11:21.320 call anyone a groomer. That's hate speech. So it went from something that we said to accurately

00:11:27.760 describe what people were doing. And then they turned it into hate speech. And now they're

00:11:32.300 escalating and saying, you know, no, it's actually terrorism. You are a terrorist who should be shipped

00:11:38.360 down to Gitmo if you use the word groomer. But to actually demonize someone, what does that mean?

00:11:51.300 The dictionary definition. To demonize someone is to falsely portray them as wicked or evil. That's

00:11:58.680 what demonize means. The key word there is falsely. See, what we're doing is simply pointing to what

00:12:09.180 these people are doing, calling attention to it, and then criticizing it for reasons that we are eager

00:12:16.880 to lay out in as much detail as anyone wants to hear. But what we've discovered about the left

00:12:24.580 is that the things that they're doing and the things that they support are so, so hideously evil

00:12:33.040 that by simply pointing them out, by observing what they're doing, by pointing to it and saying,

00:12:41.220 look at what these people are doing, is an act of terrorism on our part.

00:12:49.060 Well, here's an idea. Here's a thought that I would give to the left.

00:12:54.580 If you can be demonized by somebody, simply by them pointing out what you're actually doing and

00:13:02.040 saying, that doesn't mean that they're terrorists. It means that, well, you're actually a demon.

00:13:15.040 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:13:16.600 The Consumer Price Index has reached yet another 40-year high, and the latest GDP numbers confirm

00:13:28.960 that the United States is in a recession, despite the fact that our current administration is trying

00:13:32.880 to redefine what recession means. Now is not the time to have all your money in the stock market or

00:13:38.540 tied to the U.S. dollar. So take action to protect your savings from a highly turbulent economy now by

00:14:28.500 All right. We, by the way, want to say thank you to Senator Marsha Blackburn, who hosted a screening of

00:14:37.940 What is a Woman last night down in Franklin, Tennessee, and there was a great turnout for

00:14:43.620 that. Apparently, I was told that the screening sold out in about 40 minutes, and we packed the

00:14:48.840 whole place. And it was actually the first time that I've seen What is a Woman, not the first time

00:14:54.700 I've seen it. I mean, I've seen it through the editing process. I probably watched it 75 times.

00:14:58.900 But it's the first time I saw it on a big screen. And it is a little bit disconcerting at first to

00:15:07.720 watch yourself that up close and that large. But I did appreciate it. And especially because

00:15:17.200 for so many people, including many Republicans, when it comes to the issue that What is a Woman

00:15:24.360 deals with or the film itself, they kind of just go running into the hills and they don't want to

00:15:30.120 talk about it. Marsha Blackburn hosted a screening about that, hosted a screening of the film instead.

00:15:35.820 So I really appreciate that. And if you haven't seen What is a Woman yet, you don't have to wait

00:15:41.840 around for a screening. You can just become a Daily Wire member and watch it right away and watch

00:15:48.200 it as many times as you want and tell all your friends about it. And I would very much urge you

00:15:51.800 to do that. Maybe we'll start with this. Dr. Fauci. I just want to play this quickly because this is

00:15:58.640 Fauci displaying his usual humility. Watch this.

00:16:03.580 It's called the Fauci effect, which is sort of like, you know, as trust me, I don't get excited

00:16:13.540 about that. I mean, it's nice, but I mean, it's it's I people go to medical school. Now people are

00:16:22.820 interested in science, not because of me, because people, most people don't know me who I am. My

00:16:28.260 friends know me, my wife knows me, but people don't know me. It's what I symbolize. And what

00:16:33.540 I symbolize in a in an era of the normalization of untruths and lies and and all the things you're

00:16:44.060 seeing going on in society from January 6th to everything else that goes on people, the craving

00:16:51.420 for consistency, for integrity, for truth and for people caring about people.

00:16:56.380 That is the he is. He is. If he's mastered anything, it's the I mean, well, he's mastered

00:17:05.060 two things. He's mastered the art of getting paid for doing a horrible job and staying in the same

00:17:09.620 position for for decades. Many people in D.C. have gotten pretty good at that. So there's nothing

00:17:14.520 nothing impressive. He's also kind of mastered the art of the the humble brag. So, you know,

00:17:19.460 you can say, well, I don't I prefer if people don't say this. I trust me, I don't get excited by this

00:17:24.720 at all. But but, you know, there are there are people who say that I symbolize truth, justice,

00:17:32.100 integrity, virtue. There are people who say that I don't get excited about. I prefer if you didn't

00:17:35.940 say it. But people are saying that about me. This is you laugh at first, but then you realize that.

00:17:45.900 You know, only a maniacally egocentric person could say anything like that. And yet D.C. is full of

00:18:00.240 people like this. And most of our so-called public health authorities are just like that.

00:18:09.020 And while they take a lot of, you know, they they give themselves credit for we stand for science and

00:18:15.280 we stand for truth. I symbolize it. Imagine saying that about yourself, not just not just giving your

00:18:21.040 credit yourself credit for for being honest, which, of course, in Fauci's case would not be true either.

00:18:26.140 But to say that you are a symbol for honesty is just beyond imagination.

00:18:36.220 But they give themselves credit for that and also and also for courage.

00:18:41.140 When obviously when it comes to the so-called public health authorities,

00:18:44.960 courage is the thing they lack the absolute most.

00:18:49.500 I mean, they lack honesty, they lack integrity.

00:18:51.980 But most of all, they lack courage.

00:18:57.940 Because the public health crises that we need them to speak out about.

00:19:03.300 The things that are actually happening in their world that they could do something about.

00:19:08.340 That's where they fall silent.

00:19:12.080 For example, bringing us back to Boston Children's Hospital, not, you know,

00:19:15.860 far be it for me to continue my stochastic terrorism campaign against a children's hospital.

00:19:22.060 But here's another video, which, which, by the way, if if Dr. Fauci.

00:19:27.560 As a as a supposed public health expert.

00:19:31.640 And and according to him, he's the guy we all look to.

00:19:34.100 He's he's standing.

00:19:35.220 He's a symbol for for truth and science and integrity and courage.

00:19:39.840 If in that position he were to stand up and speak out against this, against the butchering and sterilizing of children,

00:19:48.560 that would actually have an enormous effect.

00:19:51.380 He's done nothing good through his entire worthless career.

00:19:56.100 And now in his late 90s, before he shuffles off this mortal coil, he could actually do something incredibly important.

00:20:07.580 By taking a stand against this.

00:20:10.040 But he won't do it.

00:20:12.040 Because he's a gutless worm.

00:20:13.920 He's a coward.

00:20:14.520 So here's yet another video that I want to play for you, because this is Boston Children's Hospital.

00:20:19.940 They've they've they've gone through and they're they're taking on all their videos.

00:20:22.800 That again, they posted explaining the procedures that they carry out.

00:20:31.540 And here is one explaining how a phalloplasty is done.

00:20:36.060 And no matter what you hear from the so-called media fact checkers, the fact is that these procedures are, in fact, carried out on minors.

00:20:46.860 And here's Boston Children's Hospital with with some some kind of jumpy, happy music in the background, explaining what the procedure is.

00:20:54.440 Go ahead.

00:20:55.840 A phalloplasty is a procedure to basically create a penis or a phallus for an individual who was born biological female and who seeks transition to a male gender.

00:21:12.540 The procedure is done with plastic surgeons and urologists.

00:21:17.280 The urologists manipulate the tissues in the surrounding area to lengthen the urethra.

00:21:24.200 A new scrotum is created and some of the anatomical parts of the female anatomy are removed.

00:21:32.120 The plastic surgeons are in charge of creating a new tissue that will ultimately meet the lengthened urethra.

00:21:37.600 And the additional tissue that's been moved to create the neophallus.

00:21:44.120 We typically utilize tissue from elsewhere.

00:21:48.160 For example, the forearm or the thigh is used.

00:21:51.720 The plastic surgeons are also responsible for providing sensation by doing the nerve coaptation so that the new phallus will have sensation.

00:22:00.940 And also responsible for reestablishing the blood supply and also to shape it in a way that appears more physiologically and anatomically like a natural one.

00:22:13.700 Now, that's what goes into the phalloplast.

00:22:19.900 I mean, just to summarize, the skin is severed from the patient's arm, leaving them with horrific scarring, which you can see in What is a Woman?

00:22:32.220 Scott Nugent shows what that looks like.

00:22:33.960 And even on screen, it doesn't quite, you know, it captures it a little bit, but seeing it in person is a whole different deal.

00:22:41.600 The arm is just, I mean, it looks like, it looks kind of what you would expect when you take someone's arm and you de-sleeve it.

00:22:48.700 Like, you peel their skin down like it's a sleeve and take it off.

00:22:52.740 What do you think the arm's going to look like after that?

00:22:54.540 That's what it looks like.

00:22:55.160 And then they use that to craft this approximation of male genitalia.

00:23:02.280 That's what phalloplasty is.

00:23:04.580 And they can put all the music, they can put all the happy music, you know, in the background that they want.

00:23:10.400 There's no way to dress that up, though, to make it sound like anything less than a Frankenstein horror show, which is what it is.

00:23:18.760 Now, Boston Children's Hospital has, and I believe that this is a new addition to their website, because now that they've gone and they've started making some changes to the website and saying, oh, this and that procedure, these are only for people 18 plus.

00:23:31.900 And so now, anyway, they say that that procedure that you just heard is for people 18 plus.

00:23:38.320 Does that make it better?

00:23:39.460 Does that make it okay?

00:23:40.080 Well, consider two things.

00:23:44.040 First of all, the ages, the recommended ages for all these procedures are precipitously dropping, okay?

00:23:52.800 So here's the latest from Postmillennial.

00:23:54.440 So there's a confidential document obtained by the Postmillennial from the leading transgender health association shows they plan to lower the recommended age for minors to obtain cross-sex hormones that cause permanent changes to the body and irreversible chest, genital, and face surgeries.

00:24:08.140 This health association is one that countless doctors and hospitals rely on to create their guidance for medicalized gender transition for minors and adults.

00:24:16.720 Four, and then we go through.

00:24:18.980 How are they?

00:24:19.780 This is WPATH, of course.

00:24:22.000 What are the new ages that they're recommending?

00:24:24.980 And yeah, these are recommendations, but as soon as WPATH says it, every medical association adopts it.

00:24:31.800 The American Academy of Pediatrics, all of them, all the children's hospitals,

00:24:35.000 they all just do whatever WPATH says when it comes to so-called trans health.

00:24:39.860 So for cross-sex hormones, the recommended minimum age has been lowered to 14 from 16 in the previous guidelines.

00:24:47.620 The recommended age limit for double mastectomies of healthy breasts has been lowered to 15.

00:24:53.660 And for male minors seeking breast augmentation, 16-year-old, the age limit has been lowered to 16.

00:25:00.960 Now, try to make sense of that.

00:25:02.600 I mean, try to make sense of anything, of any of this, but try to make sense of the idea that, according to WPATH,

00:25:09.380 you need to be older to get a breast augmentation than to get your breasts removed.

00:25:16.680 Now, we shouldn't be doing these procedures on minors at all, but you would think, if anything, it would be reversed, right?

00:25:26.800 Because, at least with a breast augmentation, you can, to some extent, reverse that.

00:25:32.420 If you chop the breasts off, you cannot reverse it.

00:25:35.900 They're just gone forever.

00:25:37.420 You've removed a body part and can never get it back.

00:25:39.440 Well, again, if you're looking for common sense when going through something like this, then you're just already barking up the wrong tree.

00:25:47.860 The age for genital surgery, such as hysterectomy and vaginoplasty, has been lowered to 17, a year earlier than previous guidance.

00:25:55.000 But, the recommended age for, and this is, so, pretty much all the different genital surgeries, they now lowered to 17, except for phalloplasty, which we just heard about.

00:26:10.260 For that, for now, they're saying, oh, you still need to be 18 for that.

00:26:15.980 And so, that is what the left is going to latch on to and say, well, no, no, you have to be 18 for this.

00:26:25.000 Ignoring the fact that for pretty much every single other form of butchery, they're doing it to minors.

00:26:34.480 And also ignoring that, first of all, as I said yesterday, even if they wait to 18 to do this to a girl, they're still putting her on the path to that way before that.

00:26:50.380 They're setting the stage for it way before the age of 18.

00:26:55.000 And also, even leaving all that aside.

00:27:01.080 You should not be, I don't know how many times I have to say it, you shouldn't be doing this to anyone.

00:27:06.060 The idea that someone is magically in the right frame of mind to consent to a procedure like this at 18 is absurd.

00:27:17.780 The very fact that you want this kind of procedure done shows that you're not in the right frame of mind to consent to it.

00:27:24.880 Only someone of sound mind should be a candidate for an irreversible surgery.

00:27:35.300 But if you want a procedure like that, it is already evidence that you are not of a sound mind.

00:27:40.400 If you're going into the doctor and saying, peel the skin off of my arm and turn it into something that might look sort of like a penis and attach it to my crotch.

00:27:54.480 If you're saying that to a doctor, then it's clear evidence that there's something going on inside your head, inside your mind that needs to be treated.

00:28:03.880 It's not your body that's the problem.

00:28:09.400 All right, so the Pennsylvania Senate race is down to John Fetterman versus Dr. Oz.

00:28:19.980 This is what the voters in Pennsylvania, this is what they've decided.

00:28:23.940 They had other options, they had other people, especially on the Republican side.

00:28:28.380 And you may not have loved, particularly loved any of the options on the Republican side, but they did have other options.

00:28:33.700 And instead, they decided, you know what, we want to boil this down to John Fetterman and Dr. Oz.

00:28:40.200 Dr. Oz, who doesn't even live in the state, but he's going to be one of our options.

00:28:44.360 The other one is Fetterman.

00:28:45.820 So how's that going?

00:28:47.060 How's that race going?

00:28:47.960 Well, let's check it out.

00:28:49.160 First, we'll start with John Fetterman, who recently had a stroke, but has decided to stay in the race.

00:28:56.660 And here's how he's doing at his most recent campaign rally.

00:29:01.240 And you can count on us to eliminate the filibuster.

00:29:10.060 If you come out and step with us, we will be able to stand with you in D.C.

00:29:20.580 I gave away the lieutenant governor governor in Pennsylvania, the only lieutenant governor in the history to do that.

00:29:26.060 And let's get some stuff done for America.

00:29:31.240 Who would ever think that I would be the normal, the normal one in the race?

00:29:37.060 Now, it's not even something you want to laugh about because he had a stroke and he's actually brain damaged.

00:29:44.620 And that's clearly coming through in his speech there.

00:29:50.840 And yet he's still in the race.

00:29:53.800 And he might actually win because that's the Democrat there.

00:29:59.160 And the person that the Republicans have decided to put up is Dr. Oz.

00:30:02.380 And here's how Dr. Oz is doing in the race.

00:30:04.520 Here's the attack ad that Oz's campaign put out against Fetterman.

00:30:10.360 This came out yesterday.

00:30:11.780 And I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say it.

00:30:13.960 It may just be, you tell me what you think, but it may just be the worst political attack ad of all time.

00:30:22.740 I don't know.

00:30:23.220 But let's watch.

00:30:25.540 Now that John Fetterman claims to be recovering, let's pull back his hoodie and examine what's in his head.

00:30:31.640 Looks like he has some screws loose.

00:30:34.660 What's this?

00:30:36.920 Fetterman wants to release one third of all prisoners.

00:30:40.280 That's crazy.

00:30:42.560 Spend more tax dollars.

00:30:44.200 Everything will cost more.

00:30:45.900 That's nuts.

00:30:46.860 Slow energy production.

00:30:50.080 Gas prices will skyrocket.

00:30:52.500 That's ridiculous.

00:30:55.100 Socialized medicine?

00:30:57.360 Where do you get these crazy ideas?

00:31:00.180 Now it makes sense.

00:31:02.820 Better close it up.

00:31:05.180 John Fetterman is crazier than you think.

00:31:10.900 Yeah, I think probably the worst campaign attack ad of all time.

00:31:13.880 And when I say worst, I don't mean, you know, the most vicious or worst in that way.

00:31:17.540 No, not at all.

00:31:19.700 It's just that that's what you're going with?

00:31:21.860 This is like an ad.

00:31:22.720 This was made by, I don't know who he has working on his campaign.

00:31:25.700 It must be some sort of, it's a group of boomer Facebook wine aunts who are working on his campaign.

00:31:35.400 And that's what they came up with.

00:31:38.100 Not to mention he's going to be the most radical, most radical senator.

00:31:42.360 That's, no, probably not.

00:31:45.600 I mean, John Fetterman, I don't claim to know a whole lot about him.

00:31:48.940 But I don't think the issue is that he's going to be the most radical person, Democrat in D.C.

00:31:56.780 Now, he does have to be a radical leftist in order to be a viable candidate.

00:32:02.700 Democrats really don't.

00:32:03.360 You know, it's not possible to make it to D.C. as a Democrat without adopting at least some of their most radical positions.

00:32:13.680 But that's not, that's not exactly the primary issue with him.

00:32:17.580 And this is, but this is what, again, this is what Republicans in Pennsylvania decided that they wanted.

00:32:27.540 This is the guy, Dr. Oz, put that, who approved that campaign, at the very least approved it.

00:32:34.020 He's the guy they're going to put up to represent them.

00:32:39.040 Doesn't live in the state, but he's going to represent them and their values.

00:32:41.500 This is real late-stage empire type of stuff.

00:32:47.640 When you have prominent Senate races that are boiled down to Dr. Oz, the TV doctor on one side,

00:32:55.840 and the guy with literal brain damage on the other side.

00:33:00.260 And, of course, Dr. Oz's terrible taste in campaign ads is the least of our problems when it comes to him.

00:33:07.820 We've cycled through all the other problems that he's, you know,

00:33:10.420 talk about being a radical leftist.

00:33:12.500 Actually, Dr. Oz is by far and away more radically left than Fetterman is.

00:33:21.140 And I know that just based on the fact that back in 2011,

00:33:25.900 Dr. Oz was promoting the idea of trans kids.

00:33:29.420 And he was out there, you know, advocating for transing kids back in 2011.

00:33:35.560 He was doing it like five years before it was popular.

00:33:38.180 That's how ahead of the progressive curve he was.

00:33:43.600 And that on top of being an advocate for gun control and all the rest of it.

00:33:48.280 Supporter of BLM, everything.

00:33:50.900 And Republicans in the state said, yeah, he's our guy.

00:33:53.220 We want him.

00:33:56.200 Well, you get what you deserve when you make those kinds of choices as a voter, I would say.

00:34:01.120 All right.

00:34:02.400 This is from DNYUZ.

00:34:04.960 It says, this is a story about the rise in vasectomies among men.

00:34:12.220 Now, I shouldn't really have to clarify that it's vasectomies among men because who else are going to get them?

00:34:15.940 But, you know, how it is these days.

00:34:17.100 It says in March, Mike Pridgen, a 28-year-old comedian based in New Jersey, got a vasectomy and posted the process on TikTok.

00:34:24.160 His doctor off camera could be heard saying, little pinch here.

00:34:27.260 And Mr. Pridgen winces, his eyes shut tight behind his glasses, bracing for pain.

00:34:32.660 Vasectomy, a quick outpatient surgical procedure that cuts the tubes that carry sperm,

00:34:36.580 is one of the most reliable and cost-effective forms of contraception available,

00:34:39.640 with almost none of the side effects of complications of birth control methods that are geared towards women.

00:34:43.300 Yet, it has remained relatively rare.

00:34:45.280 In the United States, an estimated 500,000 men get the procedure each year.

00:34:48.880 Some surveys suggest roughly 5% to 6% of men between 18 and 45 have gotten the procedure,

00:34:52.660 as opposed to roughly 20% of women aged 15 to 49 who have gotten their tubes tied.

00:34:59.380 But that might be starting to change.

00:35:01.080 In interviews with the New York Times, 10 urologists across the United States said they've seen a notable uptick in bookings for the procedure this summer,

00:35:08.160 especially among younger, child-free men, whose resolve to not reproduce appears to have sharpened in the face of a precarious economy,

00:35:16.140 worsening climate change, and a more restrictive family planning landscape.

00:35:20.320 The weekend after the Supreme Court's decision in June to overturn Roe v. Wade,

00:35:23.640 Google reported that searches for a vasectomy and are vasectomies reversible surged.

00:35:28.700 It's still unclear whether the increased interest in vasectomies is a blip,

00:35:32.340 or the beginning of a long-term trend that could foster greater acceptance of the procedure.

00:35:36.580 And then it goes on to give more evidence that this is indeed a longer-term trend,

00:35:41.060 and more and more men are deciding to neuter themselves willingly.

00:35:48.280 Now, the most concerning thing about this is the rise, especially in quote-unquote child-free men getting this procedure.

00:35:59.100 And the first thing that's concerning is just the term child-free,

00:36:03.200 which, of course, by design makes children sound like some sort of disease.

00:36:09.840 You say child-free like you might say cancer-free.

00:36:14.740 And this is done on purpose.

00:36:17.540 Because people that are, quote, child-free, they don't like to be called child-less.

00:36:22.780 Because if you say child-less, it makes it sound like they're missing something.

00:36:27.780 And they don't want that.

00:36:28.800 So they would rather make children sound like cancer

00:36:33.720 than make their own situation sound less pleasant to themselves.

00:36:38.480 And so that's why there's been this campaign among the child-less to say,

00:36:45.540 no, don't call us child-less.

00:36:46.620 We're child-free.

00:36:48.040 We're free of it.

00:36:49.080 We're free of the burden.

00:36:49.900 But the other issue here is that you're also,

00:36:56.040 for people who are choosing to sterilize themselves, essentially,

00:37:02.780 before they've even had kids,

00:37:04.980 you're giving up on something that you don't really understand.

00:37:10.460 And this is the paradox,

00:37:11.820 is that you can't really understand parenthood until you've experienced it.

00:37:16.400 And the reason for that is that it's transformational.

00:37:22.140 It's one of those,

00:37:23.800 and there aren't many things like this in life.

00:37:27.280 But having kids is one of them.

00:37:29.420 It's a transformational moment

00:37:31.720 where you actually do transform

00:37:34.420 and become someone different than who you were before.

00:37:39.760 Once you become a father,

00:37:41.860 then you're a father.

00:37:43.720 You're just simply a different sort of person

00:37:45.700 than you were before you were a father.

00:37:49.740 That's why I like to say that

00:37:51.760 in the act of conception in many ways,

00:37:54.960 it's not just one life that comes into being,

00:37:57.700 but it's really sort of three lives.

00:37:59.560 You have the child that is conceived,

00:38:03.580 but then you have the mother and the father

00:38:06.560 who are also sort of born in this moment as well.

00:38:09.280 That's why I know,

00:38:12.200 and I know this is the case for a lot of parents,

00:38:14.060 when I look at my entire life

00:38:17.460 before I got married and had kids,

00:38:20.420 and I look at all that,

00:38:21.780 and I didn't have kids until I was 25.

00:38:25.840 But I look at my whole life before that as my childhood,

00:38:28.460 right up until I was 25.

00:38:31.500 And hardly even my own childhood.

00:38:33.740 It feels like someone else's life entirely sometimes.

00:38:36.080 That's how foreign it is to me now.

00:38:39.060 That's how much I've changed.

00:38:40.660 That's how different my life is now

00:38:42.280 from the transformational effect

00:38:46.560 of accepting the responsibility to be a parent,

00:38:53.420 of embracing this vocation.

00:38:55.980 So along with all the other problems

00:39:00.520 with people willingly sterilizing themselves

00:39:02.360 and choosing not to reproduce

00:39:03.840 and essentially giving up on human civilization

00:39:06.340 in the process,

00:39:07.120 one of them is that you are, again,

00:39:08.580 giving up on something that you don't really know

00:39:10.780 what you're giving up.

00:39:11.980 You can't understand what you're missing,

00:39:14.380 what you're losing.

00:39:16.940 All right, here's one other thing.

00:39:18.820 You know, they really do want you to eat bugs,

00:39:21.140 and that's not just a meme.

00:39:22.500 The European Commission tweeted this.

00:39:25.160 There's a long thread advocating

00:39:27.380 that we start eating bugs more or at all,

00:39:31.440 you know, as if you were eating bugs at all

00:39:32.760 in the first place.

00:39:33.640 The European Commission tweeted a couple days ago,

00:39:35.740 whether a snack or a food ingredient,

00:39:37.540 did you know there are currently three insects

00:39:39.360 authorized in the EU novel food?

00:39:42.300 House cricket, yellow mealworm, and migratory locusts

00:39:45.880 are the three types of insects authorized

00:39:47.520 as novel food in the EU market.

00:39:50.340 Sounds delicious.

00:39:51.100 So this is the good news.

00:39:53.740 Especially if you live in Europe,

00:39:55.100 this has been the migratory locusts.

00:39:58.820 It's authorized as a novel food item.

00:40:03.100 Chow down.

00:40:03.840 Have at it.

00:40:05.980 It says,

00:40:06.760 The FAO indicates that insects are a highly nutritious

00:40:09.260 and healthy food source.

00:40:10.560 Insects contain high fat, protein, vitamin, fiber,

00:40:13.100 and mineral content,

00:40:14.320 and can facilitate the shift towards healthy

00:40:16.500 and sustainable diets.

00:40:18.020 Novel food can only be authorized

00:40:19.220 if it does not pose any risk to human health.

00:40:21.440 It must undergo a scientific assessment

00:40:22.940 prior to authorization to ensure its safety.

00:40:26.280 The environmental benefits of rearing insects for food

00:40:29.320 are founded on,

00:40:30.800 one,

00:40:31.140 high feed conversion efficiency of insects,

00:40:33.960 less greenhouse gas emissions,

00:40:35.700 less use of water and arable lands,

00:40:37.900 and the use of insect-based bioconversion

00:40:40.240 for reducing food waste.

00:40:42.480 But they do note in their final tweet

00:40:44.040 that it's up to you

00:40:45.260 to decide whether you want to eat bugs or not.

00:40:47.700 For now.

00:40:48.260 They don't add that,

00:40:49.300 but that is,

00:40:50.920 we can understand that's in parentheses.

00:40:53.080 For now,

00:40:53.920 it's up to you whether you want to eat bugs or not.

00:40:55.860 Now,

00:40:56.300 I appreciate the anti-bug eating movement

00:40:59.880 that's out there.

00:41:03.020 The people declaring that,

00:41:04.560 you know,

00:41:04.800 I will not eat the bugs,

00:41:05.860 I will not live in the pod,

00:41:06.900 and all of that.

00:41:07.780 But I actually think that the anti-bug eaters,

00:41:10.160 of which I am,

00:41:10.900 of course,

00:41:11.340 one,

00:41:12.140 we should explain

00:41:13.460 why we don't want to eat bugs.

00:41:15.920 It seems self-evident,

00:41:17.400 and in a way it is,

00:41:19.220 but there are some deeper sorts of points

00:41:21.040 that I think that we're making

00:41:22.740 about the human condition

00:41:23.760 when we say we don't want to eat bugs,

00:41:25.460 and I think those points should be explained.

00:41:28.700 But put another way,

00:41:29.900 the advocates of bug eating

00:41:31.880 are pushing it for a reason,

00:41:34.080 and I think we should be more clear

00:41:35.500 about what those reasons are.

00:41:38.700 So,

00:41:39.320 I think there are a few reasons

00:41:40.260 why this is being pushed by the elites.

00:41:42.680 The first,

00:41:43.540 the most obvious,

00:41:44.300 is that they want to dehumanize us.

00:41:46.360 Right?

00:41:46.740 They want to treat us like cattle

00:41:47.920 or worse.

00:41:49.140 This is a,

00:41:50.040 this is basically a control mechanism

00:41:51.680 to slowly but surely

00:41:55.240 take away the little joys in life,

00:41:58.280 the seemingly little things

00:42:00.140 that you enjoy,

00:42:01.060 take all those things away,

00:42:03.820 slowly sort of dehumanizing you,

00:42:07.040 and reducing us all down

00:42:09.000 to the lowest common denominator,

00:42:11.500 treating us all as exactly the same,

00:42:13.180 and then so eventually

00:42:15.740 they can ration out

00:42:16.720 our portion of crickets

00:42:17.760 or whatever for the day.

00:42:19.260 But,

00:42:20.220 I think,

00:42:21.300 maybe even at a deeper level,

00:42:23.020 the second point

00:42:24.280 is to spread this myth

00:42:25.840 that the elites love,

00:42:28.360 that everything is entirely subjective.

00:42:30.940 So, you know,

00:42:31.560 they say that our,

00:42:32.260 that our taboos

00:42:33.380 against bug eating

00:42:34.280 are arbitrary,

00:42:35.760 right?

00:42:36.020 Not based in reason.

00:42:38.100 There's no reason for it.

00:42:39.360 It's just,

00:42:39.620 it's just a cultural thing.

00:42:40.860 That's all.

00:42:41.200 It's the only reason

00:42:41.620 we don't eat bugs.

00:42:43.600 But that's not true.

00:42:45.080 There are reasons

00:42:46.520 why humans are repulsed

00:42:48.360 by eating bugs

00:42:49.320 and why usually

00:42:50.880 only poor and desperate people

00:42:52.780 do eat bugs.

00:42:55.180 Because it is,

00:42:56.060 it is accurate to say

00:42:57.700 that in some cultures,

00:42:59.700 you know,

00:43:00.100 eating bugs is common.

00:43:01.840 But what you'll find

00:43:02.960 is that in those cultures,

00:43:04.180 they also don't have

00:43:05.480 a lot of food options.

00:43:06.640 And so they resort to it

00:43:08.240 because they have to.

00:43:11.200 If you have other options,

00:43:12.340 the reasons that people

00:43:13.280 are repulsed by bugs is,

00:43:14.840 well, number one,

00:43:15.540 they carry disease.

00:43:16.860 They're dirty.

00:43:18.480 They objectively taste bad.

00:43:20.380 They have little, like,

00:43:21.380 limbs and wings

00:43:22.260 and all kinds of physical features

00:43:23.880 that makes them unappetizing.

00:43:25.720 So this is not

00:43:26.660 an entirely subjective judgment.

00:43:29.780 It is true to say

00:43:30.720 that eating bugs

00:43:31.780 is objectively repulsive

00:43:33.880 to human beings.

00:43:34.620 But if you have to,

00:43:38.220 you can maybe get over

00:43:39.860 that gag reflex

00:43:42.240 when it comes to

00:43:42.980 eating grasshoppers.

00:43:44.880 But we don't have to

00:43:46.020 and we shouldn't have to.

00:43:47.400 And the third point is,

00:43:48.960 I read this in a piece somewhere

00:43:50.200 that made this point,

00:43:51.260 and I thought it was pretty smart,

00:43:52.840 is that if you move away

00:43:54.140 from meat, right,

00:43:56.420 and we just heard this

00:43:57.380 in the tweet thread there,

00:43:58.120 actually,

00:43:58.840 you move away from meat,

00:44:00.340 you kill farms,

00:44:01.440 and farmers typically live

00:44:03.640 and work and vote

00:44:04.520 in red states.

00:44:05.260 They typically are

00:44:05.820 more conservative.

00:44:07.280 So you kill off all the farms,

00:44:10.080 get rid of all the farmers,

00:44:11.420 and then you set up bug farms.

00:44:13.320 And the great thing

00:44:13.740 about a bug farm

00:44:14.400 is that you can set it up

00:44:15.080 anywhere,

00:44:15.700 and you can especially set it up

00:44:16.920 in urban environments.

00:44:18.880 So if we move to bugs

00:44:21.680 being our primary source of protein,

00:44:23.420 then that really means

00:44:24.380 that all the farming,

00:44:25.660 because now we're not farming

00:44:26.620 cows and chickens

00:44:27.480 and everything,

00:44:27.820 we need lots of space.

00:44:28.920 Now we're farming crickets

00:44:30.300 and locusts

00:44:31.300 and ants

00:44:31.960 or whatever else,

00:44:33.000 and you could just do that

00:44:34.020 in the middle of the city.

00:44:35.420 So now farming moves over

00:44:37.440 to the blue states

00:44:38.440 and the blue regions

00:44:39.080 and they take over.

00:44:40.500 So those are all the reasons

00:44:42.120 why we shouldn't have

00:44:42.700 to eat bugs.

00:44:43.220 But again,

00:44:43.680 really,

00:44:43.980 it actually is pretty self-evident.

00:44:45.200 I don't think you need

00:44:45.620 to explain it.

00:44:46.240 It's just gross.

00:44:47.640 Let's get now

00:44:48.180 to the comment section.

00:44:48.840 Do you know their name?

00:44:52.660 They're the sweet baby gang.

00:44:56.840 Ann says,

00:44:57.980 have you noticed

00:44:58.520 that every one of those

00:44:59.740 insane doctors

00:45:00.680 speaking so calmly

00:45:01.760 and cheerfully

00:45:02.280 about butchering children

00:45:03.200 is a woman

00:45:04.020 talking in a baby voice

00:45:05.560 and channeling

00:45:06.420 her inner kindergarten teacher.

00:45:08.320 Whether that's by design

00:45:09.540 or there's more

00:45:10.180 of that personality type

00:45:11.200 pushing this,

00:45:12.180 it's pure evil.

00:45:13.680 Now,

00:45:13.880 I certainly have noticed that

00:45:15.020 and that's something

00:45:15.740 I also noticed

00:45:16.520 when filming

00:45:17.620 What is a Woman?

00:45:19.120 that this is

00:45:20.040 certainly not all

00:45:22.040 but many of the

00:45:23.660 most vocal advocates

00:45:25.420 for all of this madness

00:45:27.900 are,

00:45:29.720 you know,

00:45:29.880 they're not all women.

00:45:30.680 I mean,

00:45:30.800 many of them are.

00:45:33.080 But,

00:45:33.680 but almost all of them

00:45:35.340 adopt

00:45:35.920 this kind of

00:45:37.060 sing-songy

00:45:38.340 baby-talking

00:45:39.340 sort of voice.

00:45:42.580 Which,

00:45:43.220 in the end,

00:45:43.620 just makes it even creepier

00:45:44.780 and more disturbing.

00:45:45.800 Claudio says,

00:45:47.800 my daughter

00:45:48.380 after school

00:45:49.340 said,

00:45:50.160 how is LGBTQ

00:45:51.020 possible

00:45:51.860 when LGB

00:45:52.720 is about men and women

00:45:53.980 liking men and women

00:45:54.960 and TQ

00:45:56.020 won't say

00:45:56.840 what a man

00:45:57.700 or a woman is?

00:45:59.980 Well,

00:46:00.260 your daughter

00:46:00.660 by asking that question

00:46:01.920 has proven

00:46:02.780 that she is

00:46:03.400 more perceptive

00:46:04.460 than a great number

00:46:05.620 of adults

00:46:06.240 because,

00:46:06.720 yeah,

00:46:06.840 that is a very good question.

00:46:08.640 It's a very good point.

00:46:10.260 And,

00:46:10.540 what's the answer to it?

00:46:13.160 Well,

00:46:13.360 the answer is

00:46:13.920 it's just,

00:46:14.420 it's incoherent.

00:46:15.800 And it's just

00:46:18.940 the kind of incoherence

00:46:20.000 that we are supposed

00:46:20.680 to not notice

00:46:21.560 and we're supposed

00:46:22.560 to not,

00:46:23.120 certainly not talk about.

00:46:24.220 Because if you do talk about it

00:46:25.260 and if you do notice it,

00:46:26.260 then you are a,

00:46:27.460 what is it again?

00:46:28.200 Scholastic terror.

00:46:28.940 No,

00:46:29.080 not scholastic.

00:46:29.760 You're a stochastic terrorist.

00:46:32.520 I'm afraid to inform you,

00:46:33.720 Claudio,

00:46:33.960 that your daughter

00:46:34.520 is a terrorist

00:46:35.460 for asking that very question.

00:46:39.660 Carla says,

00:46:41.040 Matt,

00:46:41.300 thank you for providing

00:46:41.980 contact information

00:46:42.820 for officials

00:46:43.440 at University of California

00:46:44.980 at Santa Cruz.

00:46:46.000 I want you to know

00:46:46.580 that I have sent an email

00:46:47.420 to Chancellor Cynthia Larive

00:46:48.740 in which I asked her

00:46:49.620 what she planned to do

00:46:50.720 about Eli Ehrlich.

00:46:51.560 If she does not respond to me,

00:46:52.980 I'll be willing to call her

00:46:54.020 on the phone.

00:46:54.960 Please keep us up to date

00:46:56.080 on this matter.

00:46:56.760 I will keep you up to date.

00:46:57.940 We gave out the contact information

00:46:59.260 for the Chancellor

00:47:00.760 of the school yesterday

00:47:01.680 as well as the Dean

00:47:03.060 of Graduate Studies,

00:47:04.580 which again,

00:47:05.180 was a terrorist act

00:47:05.880 on my part.

00:47:06.660 And I was also accused

00:47:07.640 by,

00:47:08.180 you know,

00:47:08.900 of promoting

00:47:09.680 harassment

00:47:10.800 and all these things.

00:47:11.740 But I have to remind everyone

00:47:13.700 that these are

00:47:14.340 public officials

00:47:15.580 at a public university.

00:47:17.500 The contact information

00:47:18.760 I'm giving out

00:47:19.500 is available

00:47:20.420 on their website.

00:47:21.700 It's contact information

00:47:22.300 that they have published.

00:47:23.760 And I am pointing to it

00:47:24.980 and saying,

00:47:25.420 here it is.

00:47:27.300 Now,

00:47:28.300 from what I understand,

00:47:30.180 the voicemail box

00:47:32.180 for both the Chancellor

00:47:33.320 and the Dean

00:47:33.620 of Graduate Studies

00:47:34.160 is now full

00:47:34.860 because people have called.

00:47:36.120 and probably

00:47:37.600 their email inboxes

00:47:38.600 will be full soon too.

00:47:40.220 They still

00:47:40.840 are

00:47:42.580 trying to

00:47:44.400 skate through this

00:47:45.120 without saying anything.

00:47:46.160 As I said yesterday,

00:47:46.900 we're not going to allow that.

00:47:48.640 So the next step is

00:47:49.840 we're going to go through

00:47:50.440 and we're going to find

00:47:51.120 other officials

00:47:52.180 at the school

00:47:52.640 and we're going to start

00:47:53.060 contacting them.

00:47:54.760 And then it's going to be

00:47:55.620 the Board of Trustees

00:47:56.320 and then we're looking

00:47:57.140 at the donors.

00:47:59.500 And

00:47:59.860 the reason that we're doing this

00:48:02.080 is because

00:48:03.220 we need an answer

00:48:04.300 from the school

00:48:05.280 and they have no right

00:48:06.520 to not give us one.

00:48:08.020 What are you going to do

00:48:08.900 about this problem

00:48:09.680 of having someone

00:48:11.340 at your school,

00:48:12.020 enrolled at your school

00:48:12.760 who has organized

00:48:15.340 a black market

00:48:18.480 illegal prescription

00:48:19.740 drug running operation

00:48:20.980 targeting minors?

00:48:25.060 Sweet Baby Gang for Life says,

00:48:26.960 I clearly remember

00:48:27.960 putting on

00:48:28.760 pads

00:48:29.760 and a football uniform

00:48:30.680 and running wind sprints

00:48:31.900 and tackling

00:48:32.540 and being tackled

00:48:33.500 in the 90 plus degree heat

00:48:34.940 at football practice.

00:48:35.880 When I was a teen,

00:48:37.040 that was roughly

00:48:37.660 20 years ago.

00:48:38.600 Even still,

00:48:39.500 I was kind of fat

00:48:40.340 for my age.

00:48:41.060 It had to be climate change.

00:48:42.660 Well, that's just

00:48:43.420 your imagination.

00:48:44.280 The summer did not exist

00:48:45.620 when we were kids.

00:48:47.520 Summer is a,

00:48:48.200 it's a new innovation

00:48:49.180 because of climate change.

00:48:51.220 Finally,

00:48:51.760 Brandon says,

00:48:52.920 this whole

00:48:53.320 support your child idea

00:48:54.780 is directly contradictory

00:48:56.020 to honor thy parents.

00:48:58.960 No,

00:48:59.400 I think actually

00:48:59.940 the support your child idea

00:49:02.280 as it is,

00:49:03.340 as it is promoted

00:49:06.460 by the trans activists,

00:49:08.320 it's not,

00:49:09.460 it's not contradictory

00:49:10.160 to honoring your parents.

00:49:11.460 It's contradictory

00:49:12.360 to supporting

00:49:13.240 your children.

00:49:15.080 So they are,

00:49:15.880 they're saying

00:49:16.240 to support your children

00:49:17.220 in a way that actually

00:49:18.220 contradicts supporting

00:49:19.120 your child.

00:49:20.620 Because the number one way,

00:49:22.340 or at least,

00:49:22.820 you know,

00:49:23.480 one of the most important ways

00:49:24.760 that you can support

00:49:25.420 your child

00:49:25.900 is to provide them

00:49:28.160 with stability

00:49:30.040 and security

00:49:32.140 and direction.

00:49:35.080 That's what your child

00:49:36.140 needs.

00:49:38.060 Stability,

00:49:38.780 security,

00:49:39.500 direction.

00:49:41.360 Okay,

00:49:41.880 that is what your child

00:49:42.600 desperately needs.

00:49:46.140 And when you just

00:49:47.080 throw your kid

00:49:48.020 to the wolves

00:49:48.900 or you abandon them

00:49:49.900 to their confusion

00:49:50.980 and you say,

00:49:52.320 well,

00:49:52.520 I don't know,

00:49:53.360 you know,

00:49:53.740 you decide for yourself

00:49:54.560 what you are,

00:49:55.360 what your gender is.

00:49:56.020 Just make it,

00:49:56.780 that's up to you.

00:49:59.440 You are not giving them

00:50:00.500 stability,

00:50:01.160 security,

00:50:01.660 and direction,

00:50:03.060 which is what they need.

00:50:04.860 Every day,

00:50:05.780 the Daily Wire

00:50:06.440 is expanding.

00:50:07.400 And now,

00:50:08.180 so is our C-suite,

00:50:09.720 whatever that is.

00:50:10.780 Currently,

00:50:11.160 we have multiple

00:50:12.000 executive level openings

00:50:13.140 on the team.

00:50:13.960 So if you're looking

00:50:14.600 for a high level job

00:50:18.720 To be the next Daily Wire

00:50:19.600 chief,

00:50:20.460 previous C-suite

00:50:21.200 experience is required

00:50:22.540 and a background

00:50:23.600 working within a mid-sized

00:50:24.840 media or subscription

00:50:25.580 based business

00:50:26.240 is crucial.

00:50:26.980 Those roles are

00:50:27.520 for Nashville based

00:50:28.300 positions only.

00:50:29.620 So no bathrobe

00:50:30.680 and slipper wearing

00:50:31.280 telecommuters

00:50:31.860 are allowed here.

00:50:33.040 If this all matches

00:50:33.840 your actual experience

00:50:34.720 and not some

00:50:35.320 make-believe lived experience,

00:50:37.120 then get more details

00:50:41.800 Now let's get to

00:50:42.500 our daily cancellation.

00:50:43.220 The author Malcolm Gladwell

00:50:50.160 got himself cancelled

00:50:51.600 last week.

00:50:52.260 Not by me.

00:50:52.900 I was in no shape

00:50:53.680 to be cancelling anyone,

00:50:54.640 of course.

00:50:55.400 But instead,

00:50:56.280 he was cancelled

00:50:56.840 by everyone else

00:50:58.180 from some remarks

00:50:59.340 that he made

00:50:59.840 on a podcast.

00:51:00.820 Now during the interview

00:51:01.520 on this podcast,

00:51:02.600 the conversation turned

00:51:03.480 to the dramatic rise

00:51:04.720 in remote work.

00:51:06.380 Obviously,

00:51:07.000 when the world went insane

00:51:08.200 and shut itself down

00:51:09.120 because of COVID,

00:51:09.740 there was a sudden

00:51:11.140 and seismic shift

00:51:12.220 away from the typical

00:51:13.540 nine-to-five office

00:51:14.420 arrangement

00:51:14.780 and towards remote work.

00:51:16.420 And that trend

00:51:16.840 has not reversed itself.

00:51:18.140 There's no reason

00:51:18.580 to think that it will

00:51:19.280 reverse itself in the future.

00:51:20.620 According to estimates

00:51:21.440 by people who estimate

00:51:22.540 this kind of stuff,

00:51:23.440 25% of all workers

00:51:24.900 in America

00:51:25.320 will be working from home

00:51:26.960 by the end of this year.

00:51:28.800 Then in a few more years,

00:51:29.840 that number will be doubled

00:51:30.720 and so on.

00:51:31.780 And then eventually,

00:51:32.280 everybody will be

00:51:33.180 working from home.

00:51:35.060 This is very good news

00:51:36.220 for sweatpants manufacturers,

00:51:37.780 but it doesn't seem

00:51:38.900 like good news

00:51:39.460 to Malcolm Gladwell

00:51:40.580 who provoked howls

00:51:41.860 of mockery, derision,

00:51:43.140 and outrage

00:51:43.780 by saying this.

00:51:46.020 Listen.

00:51:47.800 As we face the battle

00:51:49.120 that all organizations

00:51:50.280 are facing now

00:51:50.860 in getting people

00:51:51.320 back into the office,

00:51:52.860 that this,

00:51:53.960 people,

00:51:54.500 it's really hard

00:51:55.140 to explain this

00:51:55.860 core psychological truth,

00:51:57.120 which is,

00:51:58.060 we want you to have

00:51:59.440 a feeling of belonging

00:52:00.940 and to feel necessary.

00:52:02.980 And we want you

00:52:04.760 to join our team.

00:52:06.120 And if you're not here,

00:52:08.060 it's really hard

00:52:08.780 to do that.

00:52:09.860 It's not in your best interest

00:52:11.380 to work at home.

00:52:12.800 I know it's a hassle

00:52:13.700 to come to the office,

00:52:15.140 but if you're just sitting

00:52:18.260 in your pajamas

00:52:18.940 in your bedroom,

00:52:20.260 is that the work life

00:52:21.600 you want to live?

00:52:22.920 Don't you want to feel

00:52:24.180 part of something?

00:52:25.200 I mean,

00:52:26.860 it just,

00:52:27.480 I'm really getting

00:52:30.540 very frustrated

00:52:31.620 with the inability

00:52:32.320 of people

00:52:33.840 in positions

00:52:35.120 of leadership

00:52:36.300 to explain this

00:52:37.940 effectively

00:52:38.400 to their employees.

00:52:40.940 That

00:52:41.260 if we don't feel

00:52:44.280 like we're part

00:52:44.860 of something important,

00:52:45.880 what's the point?

00:52:47.780 It's not,

00:52:48.160 you're not just doing this

00:52:48.960 to get a pay.

00:52:49.540 If it's just a paycheck,

00:52:50.420 then it's like,

00:52:52.840 then what have you

00:52:53.760 reduced your life to?

00:52:55.460 It has to be,

00:52:57.040 I don't know.

00:52:57.940 This really is getting

00:52:59.200 me kind of,

00:53:00.180 I was in Los Angeles

00:53:02.020 a few weeks ago

00:53:03.480 and I was pitching

00:53:07.640 some idea

00:53:08.180 to a studio.

00:53:09.600 I went to two studios.

00:53:11.280 I won't name them.

00:53:12.560 Both have these beautiful,

00:53:14.740 gorgeous,

00:53:15.600 fancy offices

00:53:16.980 of the sort

00:53:17.560 you only see in LA,

00:53:18.400 right?

00:53:19.240 Fantastic.

00:53:19.940 You know,

00:53:20.260 sun is shining.

00:53:21.420 You go into the parking lot

00:53:22.460 and there are no cars there

00:53:23.580 and you go into these places

00:53:24.880 where they normally

00:53:25.760 would have 500 people

00:53:27.040 and there are four.

00:53:28.320 Now they say

00:53:28.880 it's because of COVID.

00:53:29.740 It's not COVID.

00:53:30.980 It's just they just,

00:53:32.280 everyone's just decided

00:53:33.400 they want to work at home.

00:53:35.060 And there it is.

00:53:35.980 The shocking statement

00:53:37.100 that made Malcolm Gladwell

00:53:38.420 trend on social media

00:53:39.500 for several days

00:53:40.360 and provoked reams

00:53:42.060 of think pieces

00:53:42.760 all agreeing

00:53:43.520 that he's an idiot,

00:53:44.540 a fool,

00:53:45.060 a maniac,

00:53:45.620 not to mention

00:53:46.000 a big fat meanie

00:53:47.020 for suggesting

00:53:47.660 that sitting around

00:53:48.780 in your pajamas

00:53:49.420 and attending Zoom meetings

00:53:50.420 isn't the best path

00:53:51.860 to human flourishing.

00:53:53.400 The critics say

00:53:53.980 that office life,

00:53:55.360 you know,

00:53:55.560 the critics of Malcolm Gladwell

00:53:57.280 say that,

00:53:58.440 contrary to what he says,

00:53:59.760 office life

00:54:00.360 is oppressive

00:54:01.220 and soul-destroying

00:54:02.140 and that staying at home

00:54:03.180 is clearly

00:54:03.540 the better alternative.

00:54:04.980 They say that it's good

00:54:05.940 if people are no longer

00:54:07.240 looking for meaning

00:54:08.160 or as Gladwell says,

00:54:09.240 belonging in their jobs.

00:54:11.160 They accuse him

00:54:12.000 of holding on

00:54:12.640 to this kind of

00:54:13.260 antiquated boomer mentality

00:54:14.940 which says that

00:54:15.600 the primary point

00:54:16.460 and purpose of life

00:54:17.300 is to punch in

00:54:18.720 and punch out

00:54:19.340 and earn a paycheck.

00:54:20.760 They say that's no good.

00:54:22.160 So we're better off now.

00:54:23.960 Some of the critics

00:54:24.440 also accuse Gladwell

00:54:25.440 of hypocrisy,

00:54:26.180 noting that the author

00:54:27.060 has over the years

00:54:27.960 written glowingly

00:54:29.160 about how he enjoys

00:54:30.240 working from coffee shops

00:54:31.380 instead of sitting

00:54:31.900 at a desk

00:54:32.420 and, you know,

00:54:34.280 that he himself

00:54:35.020 has worked from home

00:54:35.900 and enjoyed it.

00:54:37.980 Now, Gladwell has since

00:54:38.800 explained that he worked

00:54:40.280 from home

00:54:40.640 or from coffee shops

00:54:41.520 as a writer,

00:54:42.380 but he says that writing

00:54:43.880 is a somewhat unique

00:54:44.740 profession in that

00:54:45.820 when it comes to actually

00:54:47.560 putting the words

00:54:48.280 on the page,

00:54:49.220 there is very little

00:54:50.120 creative collaboration

00:54:51.180 involved.

00:54:51.900 It is an individual pursuit.

00:54:53.660 As an author myself,

00:54:54.440 I can attest

00:54:55.120 that the collaboration,

00:54:56.320 if you can call it that,

00:54:57.380 happens after you've already

00:54:58.440 written the thing

00:54:59.280 and you hand it over

00:55:00.400 to editors

00:55:00.920 and they collaborate

00:55:02.280 with you

00:55:02.920 by picking your work

00:55:04.240 apart for months

00:55:05.340 on end,

00:55:06.400 word by word,

00:55:07.520 as you silently

00:55:08.600 pledge to yourself

00:55:09.480 that you'll never

00:55:10.180 make the mistake

00:55:10.740 of writing another book

00:55:11.800 again.

00:55:12.760 But according to Gladwell,

00:55:14.120 most jobs don't work

00:55:15.200 quite that way

00:55:15.840 and so most workers

00:55:17.200 would benefit

00:55:18.020 from being in an

00:55:19.300 office environment,

00:55:20.420 even if he,

00:55:21.180 as an author,

00:55:21.760 did not.

00:55:22.960 Which seems like

00:55:23.580 a reasonable distinction

00:55:24.380 to me,

00:55:25.160 but what do I know?

00:55:26.720 So who's canceled here?

00:55:29.100 Well, it's not

00:55:29.540 Malcolm Gladwell.

00:55:30.900 His day may come

00:55:32.160 to be canceled,

00:55:32.880 but it's not this day.

00:55:34.440 Instead, it's his

00:55:35.060 attempted cancelers

00:55:36.180 who are canceled

00:55:36.860 for two reasons principally.

00:55:39.120 First, it's this.

00:55:41.320 Whether Gladwell

00:55:42.060 is right or wrong,

00:55:43.900 the point he's trying

00:55:44.700 to make here

00:55:45.420 isn't unreasonable.

00:55:47.220 He's making a perfectly

00:55:48.440 salient observation

00:55:49.780 and raising

00:55:50.520 justifiable concerns.

00:55:52.540 Even if he's missing

00:55:53.620 the target

00:55:54.260 by an inch or two

00:55:55.200 in one direction

00:55:55.940 or the other,

00:55:56.680 there's no reason

00:55:57.320 why anything you heard

00:55:58.240 in that clip

00:55:58.680 should elicit

00:55:59.380 anything close

00:56:00.580 to the sort of reaction

00:56:01.700 it received.

00:56:03.460 Moreover,

00:56:04.080 whether good or bad

00:56:04.960 or some combination,

00:56:06.360 the shift away

00:56:07.380 from in-person

00:56:08.380 collaborative work

00:56:09.540 and towards remote work

00:56:10.900 facilitated by video conferences

00:56:12.820 is a dramatic

00:56:14.260 and consequential change.

00:56:16.000 It's a change

00:56:16.740 that significantly impacts

00:56:18.440 the way people

00:56:19.200 actually live their lives

00:56:20.500 on a day-to-day basis.

00:56:21.820 What this means

00:56:22.520 is that at a minimum,

00:56:23.940 if we're a rational

00:56:24.840 and intelligent people,

00:56:25.940 we would realize

00:56:26.960 that this is a change

00:56:28.020 worth talking about

00:56:29.000 and we would be eager

00:56:29.840 to consider the pitfalls

00:56:31.080 and listen to what the critics

00:56:32.540 have to say about it.

00:56:34.880 But we're neither rational

00:56:36.500 nor intelligent,

00:56:37.440 which means that

00:56:38.020 any opinion

00:56:39.180 slightly outside

00:56:40.160 of the mainstream

00:56:40.720 is automatically treated

00:56:42.260 as not only wrong,

00:56:43.660 but totally insane

00:56:45.080 and not worthy

00:56:45.820 of consideration.

00:56:47.160 We have,

00:56:48.100 as a culture,

00:56:49.120 almost no ability

00:56:50.160 anymore

00:56:50.540 to wrestle with ideas.

00:56:51.940 Instead,

00:56:53.400 we have one idea

00:56:54.380 on a particular subject

00:56:55.500 and we will not engage

00:56:57.380 any ideas

00:56:58.300 that challenge

00:56:58.980 the one idea.

00:57:00.260 We will instead

00:57:00.900 scream at the challenging idea

00:57:02.460 and spit at it

00:57:03.660 and spit at it

00:57:04.580 and throw things at it

00:57:05.700 and stomp our feet

00:57:06.900 until the idea goes away.

00:57:09.340 And because we have

00:57:10.400 the memories

00:57:10.840 and attention spans

00:57:11.680 of fruit flies,

00:57:12.740 we're able to apply

00:57:13.640 this strategy

00:57:14.260 to even the most seismic

00:57:15.580 cultural and societal shifts.

00:57:17.420 Because once the shift

00:57:18.460 takes place,

00:57:20.040 we immediately take

00:57:21.220 for granted

00:57:21.840 that this change

00:57:23.000 has happened

00:57:23.420 and we decide

00:57:24.120 that we couldn't

00:57:24.740 possibly do things

00:57:25.720 differently

00:57:26.040 from how we just

00:57:26.940 started doing them

00:57:27.580 five seconds ago.

00:57:29.100 A person who advocates

00:57:30.400 for a return

00:57:31.160 to the way we did

00:57:31.900 things five seconds ago

00:57:32.860 is treated then

00:57:34.020 like some sort of

00:57:34.740 freak from outer space

00:57:36.280 or like a time traveler

00:57:37.800 from the ancient past.

00:57:40.640 But by defending

00:57:41.480 the merits

00:57:41.960 of working collaboratively

00:57:43.220 in one physical space

00:57:44.260 with other people,

00:57:45.340 Gladwell is simply

00:57:46.080 articulating

00:57:46.700 what has seemed obvious

00:57:48.280 to most everyone

00:57:49.160 in the modern industrial age.

00:57:51.220 Even if he's wrong,

00:57:52.280 there's nothing radical

00:57:53.140 or irrational about that.

00:57:55.380 Trying to create

00:57:56.340 a society

00:57:57.000 where people stay

00:57:57.880 on isolated islands,

00:57:59.820 never coming into

00:58:00.680 physical contact

00:58:01.440 with the people

00:58:01.920 they're ostensibly

00:58:02.520 working with,

00:58:03.500 that's what's radical.

00:58:04.900 It's a massive

00:58:05.940 social experiment

00:58:06.900 and there's no way

00:58:07.780 to know if it will

00:58:08.340 actually work out

00:58:09.000 for the best

00:58:09.460 because human society

00:58:10.660 has never tried

00:58:11.520 anything quite like this.

00:58:13.680 And that brings us

00:58:14.360 to the second point.

00:58:15.900 And this is the thing

00:58:16.600 that most people,

00:58:17.460 as usual,

00:58:18.740 seem to be overlooking.

00:58:19.660 Is it good

00:58:21.940 for companies,

00:58:23.180 for employers

00:58:24.100 to have their employees

00:58:25.440 scattered to the wind,

00:58:26.700 connected only by email

00:58:28.020 and Zoom calls?

00:58:29.580 Well, it seems pretty clear

00:58:30.360 that the answer is no.

00:58:31.160 It's not good

00:58:31.640 for employers.

00:58:33.580 But Gladwell

00:58:34.320 wasn't just talking

00:58:35.000 about what's good

00:58:35.420 for companies.

00:58:35.940 He says it's not good

00:58:36.780 for the individual.

00:58:37.980 It won't make you

00:58:39.020 a happier

00:58:39.620 or more fulfilled person

00:58:40.580 to forsake the office

00:58:42.000 in favor of your couch

00:58:43.040 and your laptop.

00:58:44.100 He says that remote work

00:58:45.280 is bad for you

00:58:46.080 as a person

00:58:46.860 because it deprives you

00:58:48.220 of the opportunity

00:58:48.800 to feel like

00:58:49.720 you're part of something.

00:58:50.740 It takes meaning

00:58:51.340 and purpose

00:58:51.820 out of your life,

00:58:52.400 he says.

00:58:53.440 Now here,

00:58:54.620 Gladwell's critics

00:58:55.340 are seemingly

00:58:56.280 on a stronger footing

00:58:57.260 as they can rightly observe

00:58:58.540 that you shouldn't

00:58:59.920 be depending

00:59:00.460 on your nine to five

00:59:01.580 for meaning and purpose.

00:59:02.580 There are other

00:59:03.160 better places

00:59:04.020 to find your sense

00:59:05.480 of belonging

00:59:05.980 in the world.

00:59:06.920 If you work from home,

00:59:07.900 they say,

00:59:08.320 you can invest more

00:59:09.120 of yourself

00:59:09.540 into your family,

00:59:10.440 into your community.

00:59:11.460 You can develop

00:59:12.020 other hobbies.

00:59:12.820 You can develop

00:59:13.180 other passions.

00:59:14.100 You can grow

00:59:15.180 and become a more

00:59:15.900 well-rounded person.

00:59:17.260 You can start

00:59:18.400 doing other things.

00:59:19.340 You can read more books.

00:59:20.440 You can maybe start

00:59:21.320 a vegetable garden

00:59:22.120 or something.

00:59:22.620 You can exercise more.

00:59:23.980 You can put your job

00:59:25.200 in its rightful place

00:59:26.160 as a source of income

00:59:27.180 but not look to it

00:59:28.800 for anything more than that.

00:59:30.380 For meaning

00:59:31.120 and purpose

00:59:31.620 and belonging,

00:59:32.360 you can reach

00:59:32.880 to deeper sources.

00:59:35.140 And that's all true.

00:59:36.400 That can be a benefit

00:59:37.660 of working from home.

00:59:39.100 I worked from home

00:59:39.720 for years, okay?

00:59:40.400 So I know something

00:59:41.220 about that.

00:59:42.180 But here's the

00:59:42.980 important question.

00:59:43.640 Is that what most people

00:59:46.580 are actually doing?

00:59:48.260 So as we splinter off

00:59:50.060 and isolate

00:59:51.020 and live these

00:59:52.200 increasingly remote

00:59:53.220 and fractured

00:59:54.000 yet technologically

00:59:54.840 dependent lives,

00:59:56.180 working from home,

00:59:57.320 ordering meals

00:59:57.920 on Uber Eats,

00:59:58.800 having our groceries

00:59:59.500 delivered,

01:00:00.100 having everything else

01:00:00.760 delivered,

01:00:01.260 interacting with the world

01:00:02.040 and other people

01:00:02.620 through screens primarily,

01:00:04.280 et cetera,

01:00:05.160 as we do this,

01:00:06.780 are we in general

01:00:07.940 using all of the extra time

01:00:10.480 that these conveniences

01:00:11.600 afford us

01:00:12.240 to connect more deeply

01:00:13.280 with our families

01:00:14.000 and to develop

01:00:14.580 different skills

01:00:15.200 and passions

01:00:15.700 and to pursue knowledge

01:00:17.260 for its own sake?

01:00:19.020 The answer for most people

01:00:20.660 is no,

01:00:21.860 not even close.

01:00:23.660 Most people just spend

01:00:24.600 the extra time

01:00:25.260 staring at screens.

01:00:27.220 The screens have enabled them

01:00:28.740 to give more of their lives

01:00:30.160 to screens.

01:00:31.880 Working from home

01:00:32.860 saves them from wasting time

01:00:34.140 on commutes

01:00:34.680 and pointless office gossip,

01:00:36.040 but all of the extra time

01:00:37.600 they're given

01:00:38.100 is returned right back

01:00:40.100 to the same piece

01:00:40.800 of technology

01:00:41.400 that gave it to them.

01:00:44.000 Indeed,

01:00:44.480 all the evidence

01:00:45.080 available to us

01:00:45.760 tells us that

01:00:46.320 for the most part,

01:00:47.520 though we have a lot more time

01:00:48.840 to connect with our families

01:00:49.880 and share meals

01:00:50.660 and read interesting books

01:00:51.840 and do interesting things,

01:00:53.460 we are not actually doing

01:00:55.220 any of those things more.

01:00:56.540 In fact,

01:00:56.860 we're doing all of them

01:00:57.740 far less than we ever have.

01:01:00.440 The more free time we have,

01:01:02.540 the less we accomplish with it.

01:01:04.000 That's the general

01:01:04.960 societal trend here.

01:01:07.320 In theory,

01:01:08.700 the shift towards

01:01:09.380 working from home

01:01:10.080 could be an enormous boost

01:01:11.740 for human flourishing,

01:01:12.760 allowing us all to re-center

01:01:14.120 on what really matters in life,

01:01:15.540 but in practice,

01:01:16.720 it's been mostly a boost

01:01:18.260 to the streaming services

01:01:19.280 and social media platforms

01:01:20.440 that have been

01:01:21.060 the primary beneficiaries

01:01:22.040 of all this surplus-free time.

01:01:24.540 So in theory,

01:01:26.560 working from home

01:01:27.300 could be in many ways

01:01:28.440 a superior arrangement,

01:01:29.680 but in practice,

01:01:30.940 most of those people

01:01:32.900 really would be better off

01:01:34.300 in the office.

01:01:34.820 And that was a very long

01:01:37.460 and winding road

01:01:38.200 just to finally say

01:01:39.100 that Malcolm Gladwell

01:01:40.280 is only half right,

01:01:42.140 which means that his critics

01:01:42.940 are also half right.

01:01:45.100 But they're more annoying

01:01:46.180 about it,

01:01:46.840 and so today,

01:01:48.560 they are the ones

01:01:49.340 who are finally

01:01:50.640 canceled.

01:01:52.460 And that'll do it

01:01:53.140 for us today.

01:01:54.140 Actually, no,

01:01:54.660 that won't do it

01:01:55.100 for us today.

01:01:55.540 We're going to go

01:01:55.960 to our new segment

01:01:57.180 that we just unveiled,

01:01:58.800 but you have to be a member

01:01:59.860 to watch it,

01:02:00.820 so we'll see you over there.

01:02:02.420 We'll see you next time.
