00:00:00.060 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a half-naked pop star desecrates a historical artifact while the left looks on and cheers, we'll discuss.

00:00:06.380 Also, Biden is now at the point in his dementia decline where he is literally seeing ghosts.

00:00:11.060 Plus, the Prime Minister of New Zealand says that misinformation is an act of war.

00:00:15.060 In our daily cancellation, a major airline will now allow pilots to cross-dress on the job. 0.97

00:00:20.760 All in the name of inclusivity.

00:00:22.580 All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:30.000 We'll see you next time.

00:01:00.000 American Financing can help you.

00:01:01.300 You don't need perfect credit to make it happen.

00:01:03.820 They want to help as many families as possible.

00:01:06.100 That's the goal here, which is one of the many reasons I like them so much.

00:01:09.600 It just takes 10 minutes today to learn more.

00:01:12.300 And you can't afford, really, to not explore every avenue to save money and help your finances.

00:01:17.700 You're not getting help from D.C., that's for sure.

00:01:19.840 So call 866-569-4711.

00:01:22.900 That is, again, 866-569-4711.

00:01:25.940 Or you can visit AmericanFinancing.net.

00:01:28.640 NMLS 182-334.

00:01:30.940 NMLS ConsumerAccess.org.

00:01:33.040 You'll begin to see the world with greater clarity.

00:01:37.340 Things start to make some kind of sense once you realize and accept two points about the

00:01:41.720 elites who run this country, our betters, as they see themselves anyway.

00:01:45.880 One is that they hate you and everything you stand for and everything you believe.

00:01:50.340 This cannot be stressed enough.

00:01:52.160 It's not a very pleasant thing to think about, but it's the truth.

00:01:54.940 It shouldn't be a breaking news bulletin either.

00:01:57.380 I mean, after all, they're not exactly trying to hide it.

00:01:59.160 They despise you, your family, your ancestors, on down the line.

00:02:03.360 The second point is that they are both petty and creative.

00:02:07.740 So they'll take advantage of every opportunity to humiliate and demoralize you.

00:02:12.160 And they'll see such opportunities in situations that wouldn't have even occurred to you.

00:02:17.100 Okay, the pettier, the better, as far as they're concerned.

00:02:20.000 And with these two points in mind, you can begin to make sense of a headline that, if you

00:02:24.400 didn't know any better, you'd think was some kind of drunken mad blib.

00:02:28.120 But here it is from CNN.

00:02:30.040 Lizzo performs on stage with James Madison's 200-year-old crystal flute.

00:02:36.180 That's exactly what happened.

00:02:37.340 Set up initially by a tweet from Carla Hayden of the Library of Congress.

00:02:42.220 She posted, quote,

00:02:43.260 The Library of Congress has the largest flute collection in the world with more than 1,800.

00:02:47.540 It includes President James Madison's 1813 crystal flute.

00:02:50.760 Lizzo, we would love for you to come see it and even play a couple when you're in D.C. next week.

00:02:55.240 Like, like your song, they are good as hell, winky face emoji.

00:03:01.420 Now, it would be bad enough that the Librarian of Congress is using emojis and the phrase

00:03:07.120 good as hell in communications from official government accounts.

00:03:11.480 But they took it many steps further.

00:03:14.040 A few days later, official representatives from the Library of Congress, along with Secret Service,

00:03:19.380 came up on stage during a Lizzo concert in D.C., handed her the priceless historical artifact,

00:03:26.200 and let her do this with it.

00:03:28.340 Let's watch it together.

00:03:29.060 Okay, so there they are, Library of Congress.

00:03:33.200 They hand her the flute.

00:03:35.320 No big deal.

00:03:35.940 If she drops it, it just shatters and nothing to worry about there.

00:03:39.920 She's in her see-through onesie.

00:03:41.280 She's got the thong on.

00:03:43.460 It's crystal.

00:03:44.240 It's like playing out of a wine glass.

00:03:46.620 Okay.

00:03:49.240 Let's see this performance.

00:03:50.700 Is she going to perform a beautiful...

00:03:53.060 And there's the twerking.

00:04:04.640 There's the twerking.

00:04:08.140 Oh, she's raging in the air. 1.00

00:04:09.340 Again, drop it.

00:04:10.840 No big deal.

00:04:20.600 Okay.

00:04:23.060 This is actually...

00:04:24.700 They've done studies on this, and if you watch a Lizzo video, it's scientifically guaranteed

00:04:31.600 that within 30 seconds of when the video starts, she will be twerking. 1.00

00:04:35.700 So there is no footage of her that lasts longer than 30 seconds where she's not twerking.

00:04:41.800 Now, to make sure that we have the quote correct for the historical record, Lizzo said,

00:04:48.040 I just twerked and played James Madison's flute from the 1800s, and that she did.

00:04:53.060 Needless to say, there were many members of the media attending this concert, and they

00:04:57.200 couldn't stop gushing about the beauty and power and historical significance of what

00:05:01.160 they just witnessed.

00:05:02.360 Now, in fairness, that is how they react to literally everything Lizzo does or says.

00:05:06.640 If they saw her eating waffles for breakfast, which I'm sure she does quite frequently, they

00:05:11.560 would declare it the most brave and inspirational waffle-related event they'd ever witnessed.

00:05:16.120 If Lizzo were to then burp at the conclusion of her meal, they would tearfully exclaim that

00:05:22.480 her belch sounded like the choirs of angels singing from on high. 0.82

00:05:26.420 This is the rule the media realizes, because Lizzo is obese, she's female, she's black, which 1.00

00:05:32.840 means that everything she does is by default heroic and wonderful, and any criticism by default 0.68

00:05:39.260 is automatically racist and sexist and body-shaming on top of it.

00:05:43.500 So, with that in mind, I mean, Lizzo twerking in a glittery thong while manhandling a historic

00:05:49.200 artifact once owned by a founding father, well, I mean, they literally have no choice but to

00:05:54.080 crown such a moment as the greatest achievement of all time, the culmination of human history,

00:05:59.100 the most spectacular expression of humanity's potential.

00:06:02.260 Just a couple of examples here will suffice.

00:06:05.940 Fox DC reporter Sierra Fox tweeted,

00:06:08.780 History is freaking cool.

00:06:10.740 Of course, it's the nation's capital, so Secret Service and Capitol Police joined her on stage.

00:06:14.980 Why?

00:06:15.700 Because she's the first ever to play President James Madison's 1813 crystal flute, courtesy

00:06:21.000 of Library of Congress.

00:06:22.600 Super amazing to witness.

00:06:25.420 Then media executive Indira Lakshamanan chimed in with this.

00:06:30.080 Joyful and life-affirming superstar Lizzo played DC tonight.

00:06:34.840 Most unexpected moment?

00:06:36.460 Library of Congress loaned her President James Madison's 1813 crystal flute to play on stage,

00:06:41.860 making her the first person to do so.

00:06:44.000 She thanked Library of Congress for preserving history and making it cool.

00:06:48.660 And many other tweets and headlines just like that.

00:06:51.140 Now, we should note here that Lizzo is indeed a classically trained flautist, as her defenders

00:06:57.100 have pointed out.

00:06:58.420 She is capable of respectfully and skillfully playing flute.

00:07:01.420 But that's not what the Library of Congress arranged in this case, or what happened on

00:07:05.200 stage.

00:07:06.660 The fact that she's, in reality, a talented musician, at least when it comes to the flute,

00:07:12.100 just makes her whole career, and especially the incident on stage, all the more outrageous

00:07:16.040 and gross.

00:07:17.600 I mean, there's another video floating around of her playing the flute seriously while fully 0.84

00:07:21.640 clothed.

00:07:22.180 That I guess happened before this or after, I don't know.

00:07:24.320 Now, they could have simply left it at that, and few would complain.

00:07:28.400 But instead, they chose to have Lizzo, in her see-through thong, make a grotesque mockery 1.00

00:07:33.740 of a priceless crystal artifact with deep ties to American history.

00:07:38.640 Why?

00:07:39.460 I mean, what's the point?

00:07:41.120 It's such a weird and petty thing to do, isn't it?

00:07:45.480 Well, yes, exactly.

00:07:47.580 The pettiness is pointed and intentional, as always.

00:07:51.340 This is the game, okay?

00:07:54.120 They do something absurd and bizarre and degrading, and then they wait for the reaction that they

00:08:00.500 know is coming, and that's why they did it, and then they accuse the other side of being

00:08:04.560 petty and trivial.

00:08:05.540 So they do the thing, the petty, trivial thing, and then if we notice it, we are the petty,

00:08:10.960 trivial people.

00:08:12.340 What's more, they themselves will then hail this degrading display.

00:08:16.700 They'll declare it to be historic and important and amazing, but then mock anyone who criticizes

00:08:23.480 it on the grounds that they shouldn't care about it because it's unimportant.

00:08:29.080 It doesn't make any sense, but this is the mind game, and it puts us in a bind, quite by

00:08:34.040 design.

00:08:35.380 Because if we register our protest, you know, if we say anything, we say, I don't like

00:08:39.860 this, please don't do that, we will have given them the attention they want, and in a sense,

00:08:45.660 you might say, walked right into the trap.

00:08:48.940 But if we say nothing at all, if we simply accept, for instance, that invaluable pieces

00:08:54.920 of American history can be used as stage props by morbidly obese, half-naked pop stars, then

00:09:00.700 we will have also given them what they want, what they want most of all, which is our acquiescence,

00:09:06.420 our submission.

00:09:08.900 But either way, they claim victory, which of course is demoralizing, and in the end,

00:09:14.500 ultimately, demoralization is the point.

00:09:18.800 What the elites want to express when it comes down to it, whether it's by tearing down statues

00:09:24.020 or taking names off of schools or doing anything else they do, or having a weirdo in a onesie

00:09:28.480 twerk with James Madison's flute, whatever it is, what they want to get across is that nothing

00:09:34.720 you care about has value, your heritage and history are meaningless, your culture and traditions 1.00

00:09:40.380 are worthless.

00:09:42.440 They will tell you what has value, what you should see as important, what should matter

00:09:47.120 to you.

00:09:47.520 This is what a ruling force does to a conquered people.

00:09:52.480 It tears down and desecrates everything they hold dear.

00:09:56.560 And it will have achieved its final end when you submit to the gaslighting and you finally

00:10:02.920 agree that, well, these things don't actually matter.

00:10:06.560 When they've claimed your mental and spiritual compliance, I mean, then they've really won, 0.81

00:10:12.860 which is why we should never submit.

00:10:17.820 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:10:27.220 I also wanted to mention, we'll get off the subject in a moment, but, you know, it's just

00:10:31.940 what really annoys me is that there are plenty of conservatives online and you always have 0.99

00:10:37.100 these, you know, useful idiots who are saying, well, you know, I think it's kind of cool, 1.00

00:10:41.740 Lizzo, playing the flute. 1.00

00:10:43.140 Or they're doing what I mentioned before.

00:10:45.180 They say, oh, well, it's a trap.

00:10:47.380 We can't feed into it and act like we care.

00:10:51.000 We just have to emphasize that, okay, if that's what you're going with, then you're just

00:10:55.320 accepting.

00:10:56.100 You're just saying, well, okay, you can do that.

00:10:58.740 I mean, take the Declaration of Independence and use it as a napkin.

00:11:02.960 Like, give that to her next. 0.66

00:11:04.660 Next time she is eating waffles, you can use it as a napkin.

00:11:07.020 Why not?

00:11:07.340 But, you know, it's cool.

00:11:08.460 It's historic.

00:11:09.580 And it's just an object.

00:11:12.120 Who cares?

00:11:14.360 And why should we care about that?

00:11:18.640 Meanwhile, they'll tell you to their face what they're actually doing.

00:11:21.100 So here are a couple other tweets I didn't mention.

00:11:24.200 This one is from Tiffany C. Lye.

00:11:26.740 She's a law scholar.

00:11:28.820 She says, Lizzo, a black female superstar collaborating with Carla Hayden, the first African-American

00:11:33.980 and first woman librarian of Congress, to use a flute from James Madison, the founding

00:11:37.840 father who originated the Three-Fifths Compromise and also the Library of Congress itself.

00:11:42.660 What symbolism?

00:11:44.740 Then she continues, James Madison was America's fourth president.

00:11:47.500 He helped shape the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

00:11:50.260 He also was a slave owner, and he created the Three-Fifths Compromise that each enslaved 0.99

00:11:53.980 person would count as three-fifths of a person for state electoral vote totals, a complicated

00:11:59.280 legacy.

00:11:59.840 Now, she's mangling the history with James Madison and the Three-Fifths Compromise.

00:12:05.040 That's not really the point.

00:12:06.600 The point is that what she is saying, and she's not the only one, Ellie Mistal, who's Mistal,

00:12:12.400 however you pronounce his name, you see him on CNN a lot.

00:12:14.840 He says this, if any of James Madison's descendants is offended by Lizzo, if they want to try out

00:12:21.360 the 200-year-old iron collar white folks would have fixed to our ancestors who tried to escape 0.99

00:12:26.220 James Madison's clutches, I'm sure somebody at the National Museum of African-American History

00:12:31.420 could hook you up.

00:12:33.640 And a lot of takes just like this.

00:12:35.860 What are they saying?

00:12:37.180 I mean, they're clearly saying that the way they see it, part of the point of this flute

00:12:43.260 stunt was not only demoralization, as we talked about, but also very specifically, it's an act

00:12:49.780 of racial retribution.

00:12:51.740 It's sort of like getting back at James Madison for his position on slavery, and we're going

00:12:57.840 to do that by taking a priceless artifact that belonged to him and just making a mockery of it.

00:13:05.260 But sure, I mean, if you want to be above it all and say, who cares, whatever, that doesn't

00:13:09.600 matter, you can go ahead and do that.

00:13:11.960 But you are ultimately giving the left exactly what it wants.

00:13:17.200 All right, much is being made of this, and for good reason, really.

00:13:20.440 Joe Biden, at an event yesterday, tried to summon the dead, calling for a congresswoman who had

00:13:26.700 tragically died in a car accident back in the summer.

00:13:31.240 And, well, let's play it first, and then we'll talk about it.

00:13:34.540 Here it is.

00:13:36.560 Representative Jackie, are you here?

00:13:38.940 Where's Jackie?

00:13:39.560 I didn't think she was going to be here, to help make this a reality.

00:13:46.280 Well, again, she's dead.

00:13:48.420 And what makes this worse is that apparently, from what I've read anyway, they actually, prior

00:13:56.160 to Biden coming out on stage, they played a tribute to this congresswoman who had died.

00:14:03.020 And yet, still, somehow, he was calling for her, even though she's dead.

00:14:10.460 Now, as always, though, the cover-up is worse than the crime.

00:14:16.560 And that was the case here, because Karen Jean Pair was asked about this.

00:14:22.440 And, you know, now, look, in fairness to her, and I rarely would say this, but in fairness

00:14:29.640 to anyone who's tasked with being the White House press secretary for the Biden administration,

00:14:34.220 anyone who has to represent it or explain the sorts of things that Biden does, you're in

00:14:38.480 an impossible situation.

00:14:39.740 So we do have to realize that.

00:14:41.760 And I know that on the right, we give Karen Jean Pair a hard time, and deservedly so often.

00:14:47.660 But it is impossible, because, like, what's the real answer?

00:14:52.520 Why did that happen?

00:14:53.260 How do you explain that event?

00:14:55.120 Well, it happened because Joe Biden has dementia and is losing his mind, is actually losing,

00:15:02.040 he has very little grasp on reality at this point.

00:15:06.060 So that's why, that's why it happened.

00:15:07.900 And we all know that.

00:15:09.320 But as the White House press secretary, she can't really exactly say that.

00:15:12.940 So she has to come up with some sort of excuse.

00:15:16.000 I'm not sure that there's a good excuse, but let's go through this exchange.

00:15:20.620 Let's play the first one here.

00:15:21.440 What happened in the Hunger event today?

00:15:24.280 The president appeared to look around the room for an audience member, a member of Congress

00:15:29.080 who passed away last month.

00:15:30.420 He seemed to indicate she might be in the room.

00:15:32.260 So the president was, as you all know, you guys were watching today's event, a very important

00:15:38.060 event on food insecurity.

00:15:40.300 The president was naming the congressional champions on this issue and was acknowledging her incredible

00:15:46.520 work.

00:15:46.980 He had already planned to welcome the Congresswoman's family to the White House on Friday.

00:15:53.880 There will be a bill signing in her honor this coming Friday.

00:15:57.840 So, of course, she was on his mind.

00:16:00.540 She was of top of mind for the president. 0.97

00:16:03.100 He very much looks forward to discussing her remarkable legacy of public service with them

00:16:09.820 when he sees her family this coming Friday.

00:16:12.980 Okay.

00:16:13.480 So she was top of mind, which now that part you could believe.

00:16:20.600 Okay.

00:16:21.000 You know, she was working on this issue.

00:16:23.060 She just recently died.

00:16:25.200 It was a terrible tragedy, top of mind.

00:16:26.900 But then you say, I've, I mean, there are many people who have died who I think about

00:16:32.180 and I've never imagined that they were in the room.

00:16:35.800 And so the media is actually shockingly not satisfied with that answer.

00:16:41.340 And they, and so now we go into this, this actually goes on for, I don't know, 15 minutes

00:16:45.660 where she's going back and forth, not just with, well, this isn't like one of those things

00:16:48.980 where it's just Peter Doocy going back and forth with Karen Jean-Pierre.

00:16:51.740 Where it's, it's everyone else in the room is not happy with the answer.

00:16:56.620 And so we'll go through, I got to watch the entire exchange, but here's, here's, it continued here.

00:17:02.380 He said, Jackie, are you here?

00:17:04.080 Where's Jackie?

00:17:04.800 She must not be here.

00:17:05.980 No, I totally understand.

00:17:07.220 I just, I just explained.

00:17:08.440 She was on top of mind.

00:17:11.640 You know, this wasn't what we were able to witness today and what the president was able

00:17:17.560 to lift up in this, at this conference, at this event, was how her, her focus on wanting

00:17:26.580 to deal with, combat food insecurity in America.

00:17:31.500 And this is something that he was lifting up and honoring.

00:17:34.740 And again, he knows that he's going to see her family this coming Friday.

00:17:38.920 There is a bill signing that's going to happen in renaming a VA clinic in Indiana after the

00:17:45.500 late Congresswoman.

00:17:46.540 He knows that he is going to see her family.

00:17:49.160 And she was a top of mind.

00:17:51.440 She was top of mind.

00:17:52.300 She's going to stick with that.

00:17:53.560 What, look, what else do you want her to say?

00:17:56.920 Okay.

00:17:57.400 I'm at, you know what?

00:17:58.220 I didn't think that this was going to happen, but I am defending Karen Jean-Pierre on this.

00:18:03.260 What do you, there's nothing, there's no good excuse for this.

00:18:06.660 He was trying to conjure the dead.

00:18:08.060 He was, he was seeing ghosts, literally.

00:18:10.380 Do you want her to say that?

00:18:11.760 She can't say that.

00:18:12.640 So this is, she, she, before she went out there, you know, she's thinking like, what

00:18:18.180 am I going to say about this?

00:18:19.440 My God.

00:18:20.340 And this is what she came up with.

00:18:21.760 And I don't know, I'm not sure I could have done any better.

00:18:25.860 What's really significant about this, besides the fact that our, that the president of the

00:18:28.600 United States has lost his mind, I mean, that's, that is unfortunately old news.

00:18:32.300 What's significant about it, if anything, aside from that, is just that, again, the media actually

00:18:40.400 asking follow-ups, not accepting the first answer they get, which you don't see very often.

00:18:49.160 So it seems to me, now, is that because the media has decided to do their jobs, decided that

00:18:53.260 they're going to have integrity and, you know, operate with some journalistic ethics or anything

00:18:58.060 like that.

00:18:58.260 Well, no, of course not.

00:18:59.540 It's just because, you know, if, if I'm to guess, it's that they realize, and maybe for a lot of

00:19:05.980 them, the final wake-up moment was that, when they saw him calling for someone who had died,

00:19:10.860 they realized that they, you know, this is not going to work in 2024.

00:19:13.920 They can't go into 2024 with this guy.

00:19:16.600 And so they're going to try to take him down, while there's still time to find someone else to put

00:19:20.660 there.

00:19:22.300 So that, that, I think, is what's actually happening.

00:19:24.280 Now, while we're on the subject of people in the White House babbling, I've also had this I wanted

00:19:30.440 to play for you just because it's, it's fun.

00:19:31.980 We heard from Keisha Lance Bottoms a few days ago.

00:19:34.960 She's the new White House advisor.

00:19:36.700 She used to be, she used to be the mayor of Atlanta, where she did a horrible job and she 1.00

00:19:44.520 oversaw, like every other Democrat mayor in the country, oversaw the destruction of her,

00:19:48.980 the continued destruction and collapse of her city.

00:19:51.400 And then when she left, she was awarded with this job in the White House.

00:19:54.280 And it seemed to me like she spent too much time around Kamala Harris.

00:20:00.020 So listen to this.

00:20:01.900 So can you give me specifics on what you're doing in terms of that coordination with other

00:20:06.640 countries?

00:20:08.840 Well, as you've mentioned, we are already having discussions with other world leaders and

00:20:13.440 making sure that as we are dealing with the challenges that we are facing right now, that

00:20:18.660 we are also looking at long term strategies on how we can globally work together to address

00:20:23.960 this issue, whether it be migrants coming into the United States or going into other

00:20:28.300 countries.

00:20:28.720 This is something that we all have to be thoughtful about and all work together to address the challenges.

00:20:34.180 And also, again, remembering that many of these people may not necessarily receive asylum in the

00:20:41.480 United States, but also being very thoughtful that these are families, these are women, these

00:20:45.860 are children who are fleeing communism.

00:20:48.040 I don't think anybody wants to pack up and leave their homeland and walk days at a time.

00:20:53.900 So it's something that we know is a crisis and a challenge that the president is taking head on.

00:21:00.280 So she's asked about what specific things, like how are you going to deal with the illegal immigrant

00:21:08.900 crisis on the border, although they don't say illegal immigrant days, now it's just migrant.

00:21:14.400 So, which, by the way, that does appear to be the news.

00:21:17.880 They've kind of gotten away from undocumented immigrants. 0.99

00:21:21.680 They got away from that.

00:21:22.240 Now it's just migrant. 1.00

00:21:23.240 I'm not exactly sure.

00:21:24.860 Well, it's just, this is how it works.

00:21:26.060 You just change the language periodically, even if there's no particular reason to do it.

00:21:30.000 You change it just to change it.

00:21:30.900 So now it's migrant. 1.00

00:21:31.780 Now we're allowed to say migrant.

00:21:33.280 Certainly not illegal, though.

00:21:34.940 So she's asked, what specific plans does the White House have?

00:21:37.780 You're very critical of what Ron DeSantis has done.

00:21:40.040 You're critical of what Greg Abbott has done.

00:21:41.680 So what are you going to do?

00:21:43.300 And her answer is that we are already having discussions with other world leaders and making sure that as we are

00:21:48.700 dealing with the challenges that we are facing right now, that we are also

00:21:52.060 looking at long-term strategies on how we can globally work together.

00:21:56.420 That's, that is, almost puts Kamala Harris to shame in terms of using the most amount of words to say the least. 1.00

00:22:05.860 So when you look at the kind of inverse relationship between the amount of words used and what,

00:22:13.120 and how much is actually being said, quite impressive.

00:22:18.460 All right.

00:22:19.180 This is from Daily Wire.

00:22:20.560 Latest on Hurricane Ian.

00:22:22.500 Hurricane Ian slammed into Southwest Florida as a powerful Category 4 hurricane Wednesday afternoon

00:22:26.760 after more than 2 million Floridians were given evacuation orders with 150 mile-per-hour winds.

00:22:32.740 Hurricane Ian tied for the fourth-strongest hurricane to ever hit the state.

00:22:37.160 The National Hurricane Center said that the hurricane was moving north-northeast at approximately 9 miles per hour

00:22:41.640 and then was expected to slow down and turn northeast on Thursday.

00:22:46.800 This has been, by the way, another, obviously, a challenge for Ron DeSantis as, as governor, you know,

00:22:55.800 like when it comes to the, the actual act of governing.

00:23:01.060 And I think, yet again, he's hit it out of the ballpark.

00:23:05.700 Organizing the evacuation, dealing with all of the emergency response and everything else.

00:23:10.320 Seems like he's done a fantastic job.

00:23:12.440 You're not going to hear that from the media, of course.

00:23:13.960 Instead, they're going to talk about, they don't want to talk about that.

00:23:16.400 They don't want to talk even about the hurricane itself.

00:23:18.960 What they want to talk about is climate change.

00:23:20.800 So here is CNN on that.

00:23:25.980 Ian is coming.

00:23:27.220 Ian's here, John.

00:23:28.700 We just felt a marked increase in wind speeds within the last 10 minutes or so.

00:23:34.260 We were riding about 40, 50 miles an hour.

00:23:36.740 It was hard to fathom that speed tripling in the next few hours.

00:23:40.000 But we're now getting maybe 70 mile an hour gusts here.

00:23:43.100 We're right at the point where U.S. 43 heads across the Peace River here.

00:23:48.380 I'm just in front of the memorial for Hurricane Charlie, which in 2004 devastated this town and sent a wake-up call to this community about the threats of living on the coast in a rapidly warming planet.

00:24:00.840 As a result of that storm, they were the first community in Florida to put in a climate adaptation plan, a sea level, coastal resiliency plan that they've been working on for years now.

00:24:12.700 And this will be the test.

00:24:13.980 It's hard to build power lines or building codes for 17-foot storm surge, though.

00:24:21.600 That's the crazy variable here right now.

00:24:26.300 No one has ever seen that.

00:24:27.560 So we don't know what that looks like.

00:24:29.800 But this is exactly what climate scientists have been warning about for a long time.

00:24:34.220 And now we get to see it up close.

00:24:35.440 John?

00:24:36.360 Oh, now we get to see it up close.

00:24:37.840 Now we get to see a hurricane for the first time.

00:24:39.500 We've never seen that before. 0.95

00:24:40.280 Yeah, I kind of like the visual there of, did you just see how useless these people are?

00:24:47.220 The hurricane is, it's bearing down on you right now.

00:24:49.840 You're basically in the middle of the hurricane, and you're talking about climate change.

00:24:55.720 This is one of the reasons why leftists make terrible leaders.

00:25:02.420 They make terrible governors. 0.94

00:25:03.600 They make terrible mayors.

00:25:04.720 They can't run anything because they can't deal with specific practical problems.

00:25:11.560 Like we talked about yesterday.

00:25:13.060 And as someone on CNN had to remind Don Lemon, whatever you feel about climate change, whatever you think about it, that's not a useful conversation right now.

00:25:24.400 Because right now, the hurricane is here, and that's what we've got to deal with.

00:25:29.840 Okay?

00:25:30.360 Even if it's true that, in theory, you could have passed legislation that would stop it, it's not true.

00:25:34.660 That's absurd.

00:25:35.660 But if it is, even if it was, that's not going to help us right now because the hurricane's here.

00:25:40.300 We've got to deal with that.

00:25:41.260 So, on the left, all they ever want to do, they want to have, like, these abstract conversations.

00:25:50.300 They want to sit around having abstract conversations about what's the root of all this?

00:25:56.780 Where is all this coming from?

00:25:58.200 I mean, they do this with hurricanes.

00:25:59.880 They do it with crime in the city.

00:26:01.940 And there are times and places for those conversations.

00:26:05.360 And when it comes to those conversations, they're wrong about everything they say, which is another problem.

00:26:08.920 But when you're in charge of dealing with it, you need to actually be able to grapple with the problem itself on a practical level.

00:26:22.200 So, yeah, we could sit around pontificating about the criminal justice system and what leads people to a life of crime.

00:26:34.860 Why do you have crime and so much crime in some of these communities and less in others?

00:26:39.980 We can talk about all that.

00:26:44.360 Well, the problem is that the people that run the cities, that's all they're doing is just talking about it.

00:26:49.740 And when you try to get them to focus on the practical problem itself, like, what are we going to do?

00:26:54.320 Okay, yeah, we could discuss the roots of it.

00:26:57.260 But now we have, the situation right now is that we've got a lot of dangerous people running around these cities, killing people.

00:27:01.500 What are we going to do about that right now?

00:27:02.880 Right now, what are we going to do about it?

00:27:09.260 They're totally ill-equipped to talk about that at all.

00:27:16.920 The New Zealand prime minister has a solution to climate change herself.

00:27:20.620 And as she laid out to the UN, her idea is that, well, if we ban people from questioning it, that's how we can save lives here and stop hurricanes.

00:27:30.780 Let's listen.

00:27:32.880 This week, we launched an initiative alongside companies and non-profits to help improve research and understanding of how a person's online experiences are curated by automated processes.

00:27:44.440 This will also be important in understanding more about myths and disinformation online, a challenge that we must, as leaders, address.

00:27:53.100 Sadly, I think it's easy to dismiss this problem as one in the margins.

00:27:58.620 I can certainly understand the desire to leave it to someone else.

00:28:02.820 As leaders, we're rightly concerned that even the most light-touch approaches to disinformation could be misinterpreted as being hostile to values of free speech that we value so highly.

00:28:14.940 But while I cannot tell you today what the answer is to this challenge, I can say with complete certainty that we cannot ignore it.

00:28:24.260 To do so poses an equal threat to the norms we all value.

00:28:28.180 After all, how do you successfully end a war if people are led to believe the reason for its existence is not only legal but noble?

00:28:39.000 How do you tackle climate change if people do not believe it exists?

00:28:42.780 How do you ensure the human rights of others are upheld when they are subjected to hateful and dangerous rhetoric and ideology?

00:28:51.540 The weapons may be different, but the goals of those who perpetuate them is often the same.

00:28:58.520 To cause chaos and reduce the ability of others to defend themselves.

00:29:02.640 To disband communities.

00:29:04.860 To collapse the collective strength of countries who work together.

00:29:08.360 But we have an opportunity here to ensure that these particular weapons of war do not become an established part of warfare.

00:29:18.440 In these times, I'm acutely aware of how easy it is to feel disheartened.

00:29:25.080 We are facing many battles on many fronts.

00:29:29.240 And it's quite chilling, actually.

00:29:30.700 So she's talking about misinformation as a weapon of war.

00:29:35.820 So what she's urging on a global and international scale is that misinformation be treated as an act of war.

00:29:45.720 Where does that take us?

00:29:49.980 What privileges does that grant them if they can treat it as an act of war?

00:29:55.460 Now, I think we miss the point sometimes when we engage with this and we argue that, well, climate change skepticism, that's not misinformation.

00:30:07.780 So what she's saying there is that if you're skeptical about climate change or about man-made climate change or if you're skeptical at any level at all, even if you're willing to say that, of course, climate change exists.

00:30:17.000 Climate's changed.

00:30:17.740 We all know that.

00:30:18.360 No one denies it.

00:30:19.100 Do human beings contribute to it to some extent?

00:30:22.200 I mean, everything contributes to it to some extent, you might say.

00:30:25.400 So maybe to some extent.

00:30:27.100 But I don't agree necessarily with all of the dramatic claims that you're making about this.

00:30:34.900 But even that, that's misinformation.

00:30:39.500 Like a kind of qualified skepticism is misinformation.

00:30:44.000 She's saying.

00:30:45.080 That's what everyone on the left says.

00:30:46.140 And often we will respond to that by, by trying to prove that, oh, it's not misinformation.

00:30:52.960 You're wrong about that.

00:30:55.280 That, that almost doesn't matter.

00:30:57.400 So the real point here is that the government cannot be in the business of controlling information.

00:31:06.300 Of, of declaring what is legitimate information and what is not.

00:31:13.520 Controlling what people believe.

00:31:14.800 That's what they actually want to do.

00:31:15.660 They want to get inside your head and tell you what you should believe about the world.

00:31:22.420 And what you should not believe.

00:31:24.300 And they want to go one step further and say, well, they want to criminalize.

00:31:27.280 They want to criminalize certain beliefs.

00:31:32.740 That's the idea here.

00:31:33.700 And if they can control the information, if we allow them to seize control of information and criminalize certain forms of information, then they control everything.

00:31:44.920 Because we live in the information age.

00:31:47.960 You control the information, you control the world.

00:31:50.480 And that's really the point here.

00:31:53.100 Yesterday, we talked about the problems with that fake study, which supposedly proves, speaking of misinformation, actual misinformation.

00:32:01.540 So there was that fake study supposedly proving that, quote, gender-affirming double mastectomies are good for minors.

00:32:07.720 And we went through all the problems with it.

00:32:10.100 The study comes along just in the nick of time as we've been, as so-called top surgery for minors has come under intense scrutiny.

00:32:19.480 And in Tennessee, we're working towards banning double mastectomies for minors.

00:32:25.700 And just in the nick of time, CBS reports and other media outlets picked up this peer-reviewed study, which supposedly proves that actually this is good for minors.

00:32:36.200 We went over the problems with the study.

00:32:38.420 I mean, it's—and the problems are almost too numerous to count.

00:32:42.520 I mean, for one thing, just to review, the study was funded by a hospital.

00:32:47.320 It was funded and conducted by a hospital that itself conducts double mastectomies on minors.

00:32:53.400 So they have a financial stake in it.

00:32:55.780 They're trying to prove that what they're already doing is legitimate and good.

00:33:00.700 So that's a problem.

00:33:02.880 They did the follow-up three months after the fact, which is when three months later, three months after a significant life choice has been made,

00:33:14.200 that is when regret is least likely.

00:33:20.220 Because right at three months, you know, especially for something like this, right at three months, that's when, you know, the victim, as I say, we're not even calling them patients, victims.

00:33:29.920 That's when the victim is starting to, you know, is really starting to recover physically, so they're feeling a little bit better.

00:33:37.560 And it's not—but it's not nearly enough time for them to have reflected on what they did and realize how they've impacted the rest of their life.

00:33:47.920 It's not enough time for that.

00:33:48.880 So they cut off the study right at three months.

00:33:54.140 And then also they—mysteriously, there were people who dropped out of the study and so therefore didn't count towards the final results.

00:34:05.780 They don't explain, well, what does it mean that they dropped out?

00:34:08.480 What happened to them?

00:34:09.520 They don't explain that.

00:34:10.240 I think it's reasonable to assume that the people who dropped out of the study, that would be girls who got the surgery and then stopped responding and didn't fill out any surveys or anything like that after the fact.

00:34:22.760 Is it because they regretted it?

00:34:25.180 So that, among other problems.

00:34:27.540 But then Jesse Singal has this.

00:34:29.840 So there was another really fundamental issue with this study that I didn't even notice.

00:34:33.680 So he tweets this.

00:34:36.800 The study which just came out showing that top surgery works, quote-unquote, after a three-month follow-up, was based in part on this 17-item chest dysphoria scale.

00:34:48.240 After getting surgery, the kids' CDS scores went down.

00:34:52.220 But the scale largely measures whether you have breasts that cause you discomfort. 0.70

00:34:56.080 So this is apparently, according to Jesse Singal, the actual survey that these girls were told to fill out.

00:35:06.860 And this is what they used in the study.

00:35:09.460 Measuring their chest dysphoria. 0.64

00:35:12.640 And what they found, or, you know, what they found is that a girl is less likely to have dysphoria about her breasts if she doesn't have them.

00:35:21.320 And then that's what they're declaring in the study.

00:35:23.140 But listen to the actual items on this chest dysphoria scale.

00:35:28.980 This is what it says.

00:35:32.680 One, I like looking at my chest in the mirror.

00:35:36.240 And then they're asked to sort of rate each of these statements on a certain scale.

00:35:40.580 Two, taking a shower slash bath is difficult because I have to see my chest.

00:35:45.140 Three, I avoid going to the beach and or swimming in public because of my chest.

00:35:49.180 I get gendered as female because of my chest.

00:35:55.020 Dating slash forming intimate partnerships is more difficult because of my chest.

00:36:01.020 Physical intimacy, sexual activity is difficult because of my chest.

00:36:04.460 I have struggled to make future plans because of my chest.

00:36:09.100 I avoid exercise because of my chest.

00:36:12.060 I avoid shopping slash buying clothing because of my chest.

00:36:14.880 I avoid seeking medical care because of my chest.

00:36:16.480 I feel like my life has not started because of my chest.

00:36:18.800 I avoid swimming in private places because of my chest.

00:36:21.320 I have to buy slash wear certain clothes because of my chest.

00:36:24.320 I sleep with a binder at night.

00:36:28.300 I avoid using locker rooms because of my chest.

00:36:30.040 I worry that people are looking at my chest.

00:36:31.920 I participate in life less than others because of my chest.

00:36:34.820 So you see what they're doing here.

00:36:37.460 I mean, many of these questions, several of them anyway.

00:36:42.420 It's like any girl or any woman could answer yes to.

00:36:44.960 I buy certain clothing because of my chest.

00:36:47.600 So if you buy a bra, if you're a woman and you buy a bra, 1.00

00:36:51.700 then already you're on the chest dysphoria scale.

00:36:53.960 Just by simply buying a bra, then you count at least a little bit towards,

00:36:58.640 you are on the chest dysphoria spectrum, according to this,

00:37:02.340 because of the fact that you buy a bra.

00:37:05.120 If you get gendered as female because of your chest, according to this,

00:37:10.880 then you're on the spectrum for chest dysphoria.

00:37:12.760 You have a little bit of chest dysphoria.

00:37:16.300 And then most of the rest of it is just, you know,

00:37:19.880 these are things that many girls deal with as they're growing through puberty 1.00

00:37:25.980 and they're getting older and their bodies are changing.

00:37:29.660 Male and female, as you go through puberty, your body changes.

00:37:33.900 It changes in ways you didn't expect or didn't anticipate.

00:37:38.420 And so you feel to a certain extent sort of not at home in your body.

00:37:42.640 That's all very normal.

00:37:46.640 I think it's probably, those feelings are more intense among girls

00:37:50.840 than they are among boys because the changes are more significant and severe

00:37:55.140 and affect your life more.

00:38:00.680 But all of that is normal.

00:38:01.920 And so what they're doing here is they're taking these normal feelings

00:38:06.680 that anyone would feel

00:38:09.940 and they're categorizing that as a symptom of chest dysphoria.

00:38:18.160 Which not only for them proves that after the fact

00:38:21.560 that the top surgery was the right thing to do,

00:38:23.780 but it also has the effect of suggesting.

00:38:26.340 So part of the idea here is if you give this survey to a girl 0.80

00:38:32.120 before she has the top surgery, 1.00

00:38:33.840 then it's a way of suggesting to her,

00:38:35.180 hey, by the way, you might want to look into this.

00:38:38.520 Because she'll go down that list and say,

00:38:40.120 yes, yeah, well, that applies to me, that applies to me,

00:38:42.140 that applies to me. 0.99

00:38:43.380 Well, I guess I need to chop my breasts off. 1.00

00:38:46.800 That's the idea. 1.00

00:38:47.460 That's what they're going for.

00:38:49.960 All right.

00:38:53.380 Let's see.

00:38:53.800 There's one other thing I wanted to mention.

00:38:56.980 This is from the Daily Wire.

00:38:58.180 It says,

00:38:58.680 Stranger Things star Caleb McLaughlin told a group over the weekend

00:39:02.340 that some fans of the show are racist

00:39:04.820 because they wouldn't take pictures with him during the first season.

00:39:08.640 In a video that surfaced on Twitter on Sunday,

00:39:10.380 the 20-year-old actor said at the Heroes Comic Con Belgium

00:39:13.760 that he dealt with racism early in his career

00:39:16.680 after being the only black kid on the series.

00:39:19.780 McLaughlin said,

00:39:20.560 it definitely took a toll on me as a younger kid.

00:39:23.060 My very first Comic Con,

00:39:24.480 some people didn't stand in my line because I was black.

00:39:29.200 Some people told me like,

00:39:30.700 oh, I didn't want to be in line because you were mean to 11.

00:39:34.400 Even now, some people don't follow me

00:39:36.360 or don't support me because I'm black.

00:39:39.680 He also shared that sometimes overseas,

00:39:41.500 you'll feel the racism, the bigotry.

00:39:45.160 Sometimes it's hard to talk about

00:39:46.740 and for people to understand,

00:39:47.800 but when I was younger,

00:39:48.820 it definitely affected me a lot.

00:39:50.460 But there's more.

00:39:52.580 So the evidence that he was a victim of racism

00:39:55.100 is that when he went to Comic Con,

00:39:57.720 there weren't as many people in his line as in other lines

00:40:01.000 and he knows it's because of racism.

00:40:04.080 He continues, let's see.

00:40:07.920 He also says at another point,

00:40:09.620 I'm trying to find the exact quote here,

00:40:11.200 but he also talks about how he has fewer Instagram followers

00:40:15.160 than some of his co-stars.

00:40:17.760 He says, why do I have the least amount of followers?

00:40:21.340 I'm on the same show as everybody from season one.

00:40:23.940 My parents had to be like, it's the sad truth, 0.79

00:40:26.680 but it's because you're the black child on the show.

00:40:31.360 So he has 15 million followers on Instagram. 0.56

00:40:35.920 He has 15 million followers on Instagram,

00:40:37.940 which is less than some people on the show,

00:40:39.840 but more than others.

00:40:41.140 And according to him, he said to his parents,

00:40:43.240 hey, mom and dad,

00:40:43.940 I only have 15 million Instagram followers.

00:40:45.820 And his parents said to him, 0.98

00:40:46.680 yeah, it's because you're black. 0.99

00:40:47.940 You're a victim of racism. 0.99

00:40:49.000 That's what it is. 0.99

00:40:51.720 If you weren't black, 1.00

00:40:52.640 then you'd have 30 million followers. 0.98

00:40:56.280 This is Hollywood actors.

00:41:01.280 They just, they absolutely love

00:41:03.380 accusing their own fans of racism.

00:41:05.520 This is what they love to do more than anything.

00:41:08.080 And it is seriously every week now.

00:41:09.900 There's another one of these.

00:41:10.680 And on top of that,

00:41:14.100 it also appears that they're all mind readers.

00:41:18.200 So when he's at Comic-Con and there are fewer,

00:41:20.320 and he looks over at one line

00:41:21.580 and there's a few more people in it,

00:41:22.980 and he can look and he can read all their minds

00:41:25.120 and tell that the reason they're not in his line 1.00

00:41:27.300 is that they hate black people. 0.99

00:41:31.040 Makes a lot of sense. 0.98

00:41:31.780 Let's get to the comment section.

00:41:34.100 If you're a man,

00:41:35.720 it's required that you grow a beard.

00:41:37.860 Hey, we're the sweet baby gang.

00:41:45.060 OJH says,

00:41:46.100 I'm 26, almost 27.

00:41:47.520 When I look back on my teen years and early 20s,

00:41:49.700 I'm continuously shocked at the difference

00:41:51.380 in my ability to make decisions and predict outcomes.

00:41:54.300 It's actually kind of frightening to get over that hump

00:41:56.220 and realize your teenage decisions

00:41:57.820 were basically all shots in the dark.

00:42:00.180 Yeah, I'm glad you said early 20s

00:42:02.640 because that's important too.

00:42:03.780 We have 18.

00:42:05.760 So we talk about

00:42:06.760 how grotesque and horrible it is

00:42:10.620 to do this to kids who are under the age of 18,

00:42:13.020 and it is,

00:42:14.700 but even above the age of 18.

00:42:16.660 So 18 is kind of this imaginary cutoff date,

00:42:19.000 but when it comes to psychological

00:42:20.960 and emotional development,

00:42:23.860 even at the age of 18,

00:42:25.900 there is still quite a lot of work

00:42:27.300 that needs to be done.

00:42:28.120 into your early 20s.

00:42:31.860 I mean, I myself can look,

00:42:33.380 I can look back at myself in my early 20s

00:42:36.120 and say, I don't even know,

00:42:37.700 it might as well be a different person's life.

00:42:40.580 That's how different I am from that person.

00:42:42.680 And I am not the only,

00:42:44.300 you know, adult who can say that.

00:42:46.960 It's very, very common to feel that way.

00:42:48.500 In fact, you know,

00:42:49.280 if you don't feel that way,

00:42:50.660 if you're in your 30s or 40s

00:42:51.800 and you don't feel that way

00:42:52.660 when you look back at yourself

00:42:53.460 in your early 20s,

00:42:54.480 either you were uncommonly mature,

00:42:57.580 which is possible,

00:42:58.260 or you haven't matured at all,

00:43:00.800 which is a problem.

00:43:02.940 But you're exactly right.

00:43:05.080 Really, I mean,

00:43:06.000 to do this to anyone,

00:43:07.760 but including in your early 20s,

00:43:09.540 is horrific.

00:43:12.160 Let's see.

00:43:12.700 LFTR says,

00:43:15.760 the cutoff date for the study tells all

00:43:17.500 to gauge regret on a lifelong decision,

00:43:19.520 you must allow for a substantial amount of time

00:43:21.600 to elapse in order for the permanence

00:43:23.200 of the choice to set in.

00:43:24.760 Just about everyone can intuitively gauge

00:43:26.640 that one year is probably the very lowest cutoff

00:43:28.840 to attempt to observe regret on a decision

00:43:30.720 in which the entire rest of your life

00:43:32.520 is the window for the condition to manifest.

00:43:35.040 If the study chose a six-month cutoff,

00:43:36.740 this would be highly suspect.

00:43:37.820 At three months,

00:43:38.580 you are likely right around the time

00:43:39.720 of being completely healed from the surgery,

00:43:41.180 the feeling of normalcy on the recovery standpoint

00:43:43.440 alone can fully displace any potential

00:43:46.520 for feelings of regret about the choice.

00:43:48.380 This is literally the time frame

00:43:49.340 in which the regret is least likely

00:43:50.500 and very obviously the reason

00:43:51.720 they chose this nearly instantaneous cutoff

00:43:55.440 for the study.

00:43:56.780 They might as well have asked

00:43:57.620 if they regretted the surgery

00:43:58.560 before they underwent it.

00:44:00.860 Right, exactly.

00:44:02.000 They might as well ask the next day.

00:44:07.560 Let's see.

00:44:10.140 Jesse Miller says,

00:44:11.040 It looks like Matt's office is located

00:44:12.580 in the middle of a Hawaiian jungle.

00:44:14.100 Plus, the weather never changes.

00:44:15.400 We'll get to the bottom of this come winter.

00:44:17.360 This is my protest against climate change.

00:44:19.100 Right there behind me.

00:44:19.900 See it every day.

00:44:21.800 Let's see.

00:44:22.400 Another one says,

00:44:23.140 Dude Perfect is a YouTube channel for kids.

00:44:25.360 They do trick shots, pranks, and sports content.

00:44:27.500 They're awesome.

00:44:28.180 They're Christian and a great influence on kids.

00:44:30.280 My sister went to a show and they prayed

00:44:31.880 and did the devotional at the end

00:44:33.140 for the kids that some of them

00:44:35.520 have probably never even heard of the gospel.

00:44:37.780 Get into it, Matt.

00:44:38.540 Yeah, I got a lot of Dude Perfect defenses

00:44:41.020 in the comments.

00:44:42.120 I never criticized Dude Perfect, by the way.

00:44:44.820 I was just, I have no idea who they are.

00:44:46.220 I was like, never heard of them at all.

00:44:47.460 Sounds like they're great.

00:44:48.280 Never heard of them.

00:44:51.440 Simply trying to make a point

00:44:52.920 about the fracturing of culture

00:44:54.960 and how kids, kids these days,

00:44:57.580 have entirely their own culture,

00:45:00.240 their own celebrities,

00:45:01.500 their own pop culture scene,

00:45:02.880 everything all to themselves,

00:45:04.000 which we tend to take for granted

00:45:06.280 because, you know, we take for granted

00:45:07.540 anything that started happening yesterday.

00:45:10.020 We take for granted as just inevitable

00:45:12.120 and we assume it's always been this way.

00:45:13.900 But that's not the case.

00:45:15.640 At least it shouldn't be.

00:45:18.220 Let's see.

00:45:18.680 Anne says,

00:45:19.320 I want to take you seriously

00:45:20.240 about your crusade against genital mutilation,

00:45:22.760 but you continue to ignore

00:45:24.060 the most common form, circumcision.

00:45:26.240 There's not any point

00:45:28.020 in trying to ban genital mutilation

00:45:29.720 if you're going to make an exception for that.

00:45:32.040 Anne, I find this point

00:45:35.240 that I hear sometimes

00:45:36.260 exceptionally annoying 0.98

00:45:38.500 Anne and ridiculous. 0.99

00:45:42.020 And you're also, 0.99

00:45:43.420 you're doing a big favor to the left.

00:45:45.480 And maybe that's your point.

00:45:46.400 Maybe that's what you're trying to do.

00:45:48.600 But this is exactly an analogy

00:45:50.840 that they want to make.

00:45:53.060 In fact, there was someone,

00:45:54.140 I think it was a Tennessee lawmaker

00:45:55.180 yesterday on Twitter,

00:45:56.360 said that our attempts

00:45:57.680 to ban these things in Tennessee

00:46:01.440 is an infringement

00:46:02.740 on the religious freedom of Jews.

00:46:05.780 Because she's drawing a comparison

00:46:07.300 between circumcision

00:46:08.320 and an actual castration.

00:46:13.520 So when you do that,

00:46:14.500 that's exactly what they want.

00:46:15.560 They want to say,

00:46:16.020 oh, you see,

00:46:16.400 they're two exactly the same things.

00:46:18.340 So if you're fine with one,

00:46:19.880 you should be fine with the other.

00:46:22.520 But of course,

00:46:23.140 they're not the same thing at all.

00:46:26.760 Can you see the difference

00:46:27.500 between circumcision,

00:46:28.500 the removal of foreskin,

00:46:30.380 and the removal

00:46:30.980 of the entire sex organ?

00:46:33.900 Can you not agree

00:46:35.080 that there's a distinction

00:46:36.180 to be made

00:46:36.700 between those two things?

00:46:40.080 I don't know how else

00:46:41.380 to explain it.

00:46:42.060 I mean, if it's not self-evident to you

00:46:43.880 that these are two

00:46:45.000 vastly different things,

00:46:47.200 then no matter how you feel

00:46:48.680 about circumcision,

00:46:50.000 you can be opposed to it.

00:46:50.760 It's fine.

00:46:51.200 But it's just not at all the same.

00:46:53.540 Joshua says,

00:46:58.160 Matt, I can't agree with you

00:46:59.120 on your final topic.

00:47:00.320 These days,

00:47:00.900 companies will take advantage of you

00:47:02.180 if you let them.

00:47:03.040 Boundaries are important.

00:47:04.720 And for most people,

00:47:05.540 they can put in all the effort

00:47:07.680 in the world,

00:47:08.260 but it doesn't translate

00:47:09.360 to greater success.

00:47:12.020 Well, yes.

00:47:13.320 As I said,

00:47:14.060 boundaries are important

00:47:15.020 in the workplace.

00:47:15.740 Boundaries are important

00:47:16.340 everywhere in your life, right?

00:47:19.700 But the skill, right,

00:47:21.620 is in how you set

00:47:22.700 those boundaries.

00:47:24.640 Because if you're just

00:47:25.400 running into the situation

00:47:26.520 saying,

00:47:26.860 back off, everyone,

00:47:27.640 leave me alone.

00:47:28.400 Like, anyone can do that.

00:47:30.660 That's, you know,

00:47:31.760 that's going to backfire,

00:47:32.740 especially in a work environment.

00:47:35.600 And especially when you're

00:47:36.540 talking to your employers,

00:47:37.800 the people who are paying you,

00:47:39.020 giving you a paycheck.

00:47:40.380 You just,

00:47:40.840 you can't talk to them that way.

00:47:42.220 You can't talk to everyone

00:47:43.260 however you want.

00:47:44.300 It's just not how it works.

00:47:46.860 And when they have something

00:47:48.240 you need,

00:47:49.360 which is like a paycheck,

00:47:50.560 they have leverage over you.

00:47:52.700 And part of being an adult

00:47:53.740 is to,

00:47:54.360 that doesn't mean,

00:47:54.940 doesn't mean you just do

00:47:55.580 everything they say

00:47:56.280 and you're their slave. 0.82

00:47:57.080 No.

00:47:58.060 But part of being an adult

00:47:59.100 is understanding this.

00:48:00.840 You know,

00:48:00.980 understanding who has leverage

00:48:02.440 and where your leverage is

00:48:03.660 and how to use it

00:48:04.560 and how to use it

00:48:05.800 in a way that's not

00:48:06.620 going to backfire.

00:48:09.300 So setting boundaries

00:48:10.460 with tact

00:48:11.240 is the key there.

00:48:14.740 As far as,

00:48:15.560 you say,

00:48:15.800 most people can put in

00:48:16.800 all the effort in the world

00:48:17.660 but it doesn't translate

00:48:18.500 to greater success.

00:48:19.360 I don't know where

00:48:20.020 you're getting that from.

00:48:20.580 How have you arrived

00:48:23.080 at that conclusion?

00:48:25.640 And it seems to me

00:48:26.700 that we've got a lot of people

00:48:27.660 who arrive at this conclusion

00:48:29.020 almost immediately

00:48:31.000 upon entering the working world

00:48:32.580 and that's the issue.

00:48:34.200 You just got there

00:48:35.340 and you've already decided

00:48:36.340 that no matter how hard you work,

00:48:38.100 it's not going to matter.

00:48:39.360 How could you possibly know that?

00:48:41.060 I mean,

00:48:41.240 you can only know that

00:48:42.100 if you work your absolute hardest

00:48:44.620 for years and years

00:48:45.700 and years and years

00:48:46.480 and then you look back

00:48:47.980 and find that you did not

00:48:49.280 climb up the ladder at all.

00:48:52.780 Okay,

00:48:53.140 well then we have something

00:48:53.740 to talk about.

00:48:55.560 But what that's going to tell me

00:48:56.580 is that you're,

00:48:57.060 you know,

00:48:57.220 maybe you're in the wrong line of work

00:48:58.920 or you're working

00:48:59.260 for the wrong company.

00:49:03.360 In most cases,

00:49:05.080 you know,

00:49:05.440 it's,

00:49:05.940 there are people

00:49:06.560 who just get lucky,

00:49:07.420 there are people

00:49:07.740 who are born with silver spoons

00:49:09.200 and all of that.

00:49:09.880 But in most cases

00:49:11.120 when you look at the people,

00:49:12.700 you know,

00:49:12.840 you look at people

00:49:13.320 in a certain field

00:49:14.420 and there are some

00:49:15.220 who have had a lot of success

00:49:16.400 and others who have had

00:49:17.240 a moderate amount of success

00:49:18.380 and others who have had no success

00:49:19.700 and you can find

00:49:22.100 there's a,

00:49:23.240 you know,

00:49:23.520 it's easy to understand

00:49:25.040 there's a pattern here

00:49:26.100 and the people

00:49:27.600 who've had the most success

00:49:28.500 have put in a lot more effort

00:49:29.680 than the ones who have had none.

00:49:30.820 That's usually the way it works.

00:49:32.940 Well,

00:50:14.580 slash discuss.

00:50:17.520 And is that it?

00:50:18.740 It is it.

00:50:19.360 Now let's get

00:50:19.660 to our daily cancellation.

00:50:24.400 As a frequent flyer myself

00:50:26.220 who also experiences

00:50:27.400 intense flying anxiety,

00:50:29.200 I have developed

00:50:29.780 very specific emotional needs

00:50:32.480 while in the air.

00:50:34.220 Now,

00:50:34.520 I've long since learned

00:50:35.380 to suppress my physical needs

00:50:36.760 while flying.

00:50:37.420 Like all other air travelers,

00:50:39.080 I've grown accustomed

00:50:39.740 to being treated

00:50:40.900 like poultry stuffed

00:50:42.040 in a cage

00:50:42.640 and strapped onto the back

00:50:43.960 of a semi barreling

00:50:45.000 down the highway.

00:50:46.160 Everything is cramped.

00:50:47.200 There's no room

00:50:47.680 to move around

00:50:48.320 or stretch your legs.

00:50:49.480 There's no concern

00:50:50.320 for your comfort.

00:50:51.600 On Spirit Airlines,

00:50:52.420 you know,

00:50:52.580 the analogy becomes

00:50:53.340 quite literal

00:50:54.240 because on Spirit

00:50:54.960 in particular,

00:50:55.980 the only snack

00:50:56.660 they give you,

00:50:57.240 and this is true,

00:50:57.840 is they give you

00:50:58.420 a handful of chicken feed

00:50:59.580 which the flight attendants

00:51:00.800 toss in your lap

00:51:01.680 as they walk down the aisle

00:51:02.760 scowling at you.

00:51:04.120 And of course,

00:51:04.460 if you eat the chicken feed,

00:51:05.960 then it's an upcharge

00:51:07.100 of $43 a person,

00:51:08.520 I think.

00:51:09.320 This is the modern

00:51:10.540 flying experience.

00:51:11.860 You sit there

00:51:12.440 miserable, 0.99

00:51:13.360 neglected,

00:51:14.720 squished between

00:51:15.320 a sumo wrestler

00:51:16.140 and someone's

00:51:16.860 emotional support llama

00:51:17.980 unless you fly

00:51:19.180 first class,

00:51:19.800 of course,

00:51:20.160 in which case

00:51:20.660 you will enjoy

00:51:21.200 the decadent luxury

00:51:22.360 of being treated

00:51:23.700 like a human being

00:51:24.560 rather than livestock.

00:51:26.380 In first class,

00:51:27.040 you can engage

00:51:27.560 in wild flights of fancy

00:51:29.000 such as bending your knee

00:51:31.080 and moving your elbow.

00:51:32.980 In first class,

00:51:33.500 the flight attendants

00:51:34.140 will even mostly suppress

00:51:36.020 their disdain for you,

00:51:37.080 which is nice.

00:51:37.560 And there are other perks too.

00:51:39.180 Like in first class,

00:51:39.900 the airline does you

00:51:41.320 the favor of making sure

00:51:42.360 there's actually enough room

00:51:43.460 in the overhead compartment

00:51:44.360 for the carry-on baggage

00:51:45.400 they said you could bring

00:51:46.340 on the plane,

00:51:47.200 as opposed to in the coach experience

00:51:48.900 where half of the people

00:51:49.760 have to check their bags,

00:51:50.940 which they will likely

00:51:51.880 never see again.

00:51:53.100 That's just how it goes.

00:51:54.900 And this is why

00:51:55.640 I have lowered my standards

00:51:57.040 and reduced my list of needs

00:52:00.000 and expectations

00:52:01.140 to really just one item.

00:52:02.460 And it's an emotional thing.

00:52:04.880 For the sake of my

00:52:05.580 emotional well-being,

00:52:07.220 I only ask that

00:52:08.340 the flight attendants

00:52:09.120 do not appear

00:52:10.500 visibly startled

00:52:11.560 by turbulence.

00:52:12.580 Because even a slightly

00:52:13.680 raised eyebrow

00:52:14.500 or a barely audible

00:52:15.740 whoa,

00:52:17.260 is to me

00:52:18.040 a signal that we all

00:52:18.880 face certain death.

00:52:20.640 So,

00:52:21.240 until today,

00:52:22.540 my point is

00:52:23.040 that was the one

00:52:24.140 meager favor

00:52:25.100 that I asked

00:52:25.860 of the flight crew.

00:52:27.380 But now it seems

00:52:28.500 I must add

00:52:29.140 one more item

00:52:29.900 to the list.

00:52:31.340 Because I also ask

00:52:32.780 that the pilot

00:52:33.680 does not cross-dress 0.98

00:52:35.540 while flying.

00:52:37.520 I do not want

00:52:38.380 to be an unwilling

00:52:39.140 participant

00:52:39.660 in a drag show 0.81

00:52:40.880 35,000 feet in the air.

00:52:43.360 Which is why

00:52:44.140 I will certainly

00:52:44.720 never fly Virgin Atlantic.

00:52:46.180 Not that I ever

00:52:46.680 would have flown them

00:52:47.700 anyway, to be fair.

00:52:48.580 But here's the story

00:52:49.400 from CNN.

00:52:50.460 It says,

00:52:50.900 Virgin Atlantic has said

00:52:51.880 that it is scrapping

00:52:52.980 gendered uniform options

00:52:54.360 in an effort to champion

00:52:55.420 the individuality

00:52:56.500 of its employees.

00:52:57.780 The British airline

00:52:58.320 announced in a press release

00:52:59.780 on Wednesday

00:53:00.220 that cabin crew,

00:53:01.520 pilots,

00:53:01.940 and ground staff

00:53:02.720 can select which uniform

00:53:03.900 they feel most comfortable in.

00:53:05.840 No matter their gender,

00:53:06.980 gender identity,

00:53:07.620 or gender expression.

00:53:09.220 Optional pronoun badges

00:53:10.240 will also become available

00:53:11.360 for crew and passengers.

00:53:14.100 Juha Jarvanen,

00:53:15.400 who's Virgin Atlantic's

00:53:16.420 chief commercial officer,

00:53:17.420 said in the press release,

00:53:18.780 the company believes

00:53:19.400 it's important

00:53:19.840 to encourage people

00:53:20.740 to embrace their individuality

00:53:22.900 and be their true selves

00:53:24.300 at work.

00:53:25.520 Jarvanen added,

00:53:26.500 it is for that reason

00:53:27.560 that we want to allow

00:53:28.460 our people to wear

00:53:29.500 the uniform that best

00:53:30.660 suits them

00:53:31.380 and how they identify

00:53:32.440 and ensure our customers

00:53:33.720 are addressed

00:53:34.500 by their preferred pronouns.

00:53:37.000 Now, if this seems

00:53:38.040 a bit unsettling to you,

00:53:39.640 don't worry,

00:53:40.380 because CNN quotes

00:53:41.640 a judge from

00:53:42.540 RuPaul's Drag Race

00:53:43.800 who says that this is all

00:53:44.940 a very good thing.

00:53:46.520 And obviously,

00:53:47.040 there could be

00:53:47.440 no better authority

00:53:48.480 on proper standards

00:53:49.920 of conduct

00:53:50.560 and air travel

00:53:51.260 than a judge

00:53:53.160 from RuPaul's Drag Race,

00:53:54.480 at least according

00:53:55.620 to CNN.

00:53:56.640 Quote,

00:53:57.360 Michelle Visage,

00:53:58.540 who's a Michelle Visage,

00:53:59.740 a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race

00:54:01.240 All-Stars,

00:54:01.960 who showcased the uniform

00:54:02.940 alongside staff,

00:54:04.160 welcomed the move.

00:54:05.460 Quote,

00:54:05.820 as the mother

00:54:06.340 of a non-binary child

00:54:07.660 and as an ally

00:54:08.620 to the LGBTQ plus community,

00:54:11.100 these efforts

00:54:11.580 by Virgin Atlantic

00:54:12.500 to further inclusivity

00:54:13.800 for its people

00:54:14.420 are extremely important

00:54:15.460 and personal to me,

00:54:16.400 she said in the press release.

00:54:17.480 People feel empowered

00:54:18.740 when they're wearing

00:54:19.540 what best represents them.

00:54:21.540 And this gender identity policy 0.55

00:54:22.720 allows people to embrace

00:54:23.780 who they are

00:54:24.420 and bring their full selves

00:54:26.220 to work.

00:54:27.640 Virgin Atlantic said

00:54:28.280 the changes are part

00:54:29.100 of a wider initiative

00:54:30.200 under its

00:54:31.180 be yourself agenda.

00:54:34.420 Well, this is great,

00:54:35.500 you know,

00:54:35.820 especially when coupled

00:54:36.860 with the news

00:54:37.980 from earlier in the year

00:54:38.960 that airlines are lowering

00:54:40.300 their recruiting requirements

00:54:41.780 for pilots

00:54:42.400 so as to create

00:54:43.780 a more diverse

00:54:44.520 and equitable workforce.

00:54:46.280 So what that means

00:54:47.100 is that your racially diverse,

00:54:49.460 genderqueer, 0.80

00:54:50.240 pansexual, 1.00

00:54:51.060 drag queen pilot 0.99

00:54:52.100 who goes by the name

00:54:53.380 Captain Hot Pants

00:54:54.360 or something

00:54:54.780 may not be the best

00:54:56.160 equipped to fly the aircraft

00:54:57.220 but at least

00:54:57.820 he's being himself.

00:54:59.860 So you can...

00:55:02.600 Here's the commercial,

00:55:03.840 by the way.

00:55:04.180 Let's just pause

00:55:04.700 and watch this commercial.

00:55:05.960 This is an airline commercial.

00:55:10.840 You watch this

00:55:11.640 and tell me.

00:55:12.060 You want to fly this airline?

00:55:13.200 This is what you want?

00:55:19.060 Virgin Atlantic

00:55:19.740 see the world differently.

00:55:20.880 Well, they certainly

00:55:21.740 are delivering

00:55:22.280 on that promise anyway.

00:55:25.620 Anyway,

00:55:28.140 as you're...

00:55:28.800 As you know,

00:55:29.240 you can take comfort

00:55:30.160 at least

00:55:30.660 as your plane

00:55:33.360 is nose diving

00:55:34.900 into the Pacific.

00:55:35.640 You can take comfort

00:55:36.820 in the fact

00:55:37.300 that your pilot

00:55:38.060 lived by his truth

00:55:39.180 and now he's dying by it

00:55:40.720 and he's taking

00:55:41.600 all of you with him

00:55:42.260 which is really

00:55:43.060 an honor, I guess.

00:55:44.740 Now, I'm only being

00:55:45.240 slightly facetious here.

00:55:46.700 I actually do appreciate

00:55:47.860 this move by Virgin Atlantic

00:55:49.080 for two reasons.

00:55:50.060 Okay, so for one thing,

00:55:51.880 if the captain

00:55:53.280 of my plane

00:55:55.460 is emotionally

00:55:56.500 and mentally unstable, 0.57

00:55:58.320 I want to know

00:55:59.100 that ahead of time.

00:55:59.860 I actually want him

00:56:00.620 to advertise that.

00:56:02.100 And there's no better way

00:56:03.020 for him to advertise it

00:56:03.980 than by dressing in drag.

00:56:06.640 Of course,

00:56:07.140 this only works

00:56:07.840 to the passenger's advantage

00:56:09.120 if the pilot announces it

00:56:10.560 prior to departure

00:56:11.360 and if the passengers

00:56:12.240 who value their lives

00:56:13.240 are then given

00:56:13.780 an opportunity

00:56:14.240 to deboard.

00:56:15.800 So it would sound

00:56:16.300 something like this,

00:56:16.980 like,

00:56:17.420 hi folks from the flight deck,

00:56:18.400 this is your captain speaking.

00:56:19.880 I will be taking off

00:56:20.600 in about 10 minutes

00:56:21.480 after a short taxi

00:56:22.220 down the runway.

00:56:22.780 Also,

00:56:23.280 I am personally wearing

00:56:24.820 a skirt for this evening's flight.

00:56:26.500 My father didn't love me

00:56:27.540 and so this is what

00:56:28.140 I'm doing now.

00:56:29.240 I'll tell you more about it

00:56:30.040 when we're in the air.

00:56:30.760 Thanks for flying with us.

00:56:32.300 So if there was

00:56:33.020 an announcement like that,

00:56:34.420 I mean,

00:56:34.720 it could work out

00:56:35.480 to everybody's advantage.

00:56:36.440 But I don't think

00:56:37.100 that's how it will work

00:56:37.940 on Virgin Atlantic,

00:56:38.860 so I suppose

00:56:39.400 this potential positive

00:56:40.520 is negated.

00:56:41.480 But there is still this,

00:56:44.120 that the whole stunt

00:56:45.360 exposes

00:56:46.760 the utter inanity

00:56:48.780 and absurdity

00:56:49.640 of the left's notion

00:56:50.760 of individuality.

00:56:52.640 Because first of all,

00:56:54.020 this is not really

00:56:54.980 individuality at all.

00:56:56.500 When a man cross-dresses, 0.99

00:56:58.320 he is not inventing

00:56:59.500 a new style

00:57:00.260 or doing something

00:57:01.180 nobody's ever done before.

00:57:02.840 He is rather embracing

00:57:04.240 a different style, 0.78

00:57:05.300 one that is ugly 0.83

00:57:06.300 and disordered,

00:57:07.240 but he didn't create it.

00:57:09.160 This is not something

00:57:09.980 that originates

00:57:10.860 in the depths

00:57:11.400 of his being.

00:57:12.620 It originates

00:57:13.260 in the culture.

00:57:14.580 The culture has told him

00:57:15.820 that this is a fashionable,

00:57:17.660 brave,

00:57:18.260 laudable way

00:57:18.960 to dress and behave.

00:57:20.320 He is, in fact,

00:57:21.420 conforming.

00:57:22.820 This is why you'll notice

00:57:23.580 that drag queens, 1.00

00:57:24.400 though they are supposed

00:57:25.740 to be fierce individualists,

00:57:27.180 all end up looking

00:57:28.060 exactly the same.

00:57:29.240 It's almost like

00:57:29.720 there's a drag queen uniform,

00:57:31.580 which happens to be modeled

00:57:32.720 after early 90s

00:57:33.880 Tim Burton films

00:57:34.620 for whatever reason.

00:57:35.820 This is true, too,

00:57:36.660 of people who endeavor

00:57:37.600 to be non-binary

00:57:38.800 or androgynous

00:57:39.760 in their style of dress.

00:57:40.860 They all end up

00:57:41.440 looking the same,

00:57:42.600 right?

00:57:42.840 Right down to the hairstyle

00:57:43.840 and the facial piercings.

00:57:46.180 There is a much,

00:57:47.300 much greater

00:57:47.960 and more vibrant

00:57:48.920 and interesting

00:57:49.620 variety of styles

00:57:50.660 among men

00:57:51.720 who dress like men 0.97

00:57:52.760 and women

00:57:53.200 who dress like women 0.98

00:57:54.080 than there are

00:57:54.960 among men and women

00:57:55.700 who endeavor

00:57:56.120 to break through

00:57:57.040 these binary categories.

00:57:59.400 They all end up

00:58:00.200 looking like clones

00:58:00.920 created in the back

00:58:01.720 of a hot topic

00:58:02.640 or something.

00:58:03.980 Second,

00:58:05.080 even though

00:58:05.660 all of this

00:58:06.660 be-yourself stuff

00:58:07.620 is basically a sham

00:58:08.960 and modern culture's

00:58:10.960 notion of an individual

00:58:12.100 is far more rigid

00:58:13.320 and restricting

00:58:13.860 than ever,

00:58:15.060 we also see here

00:58:16.040 why individuality

00:58:17.280 and being oneself

00:58:18.320 are not the ideal

00:58:19.920 in every situation

00:58:21.500 or even in most situations

00:58:23.200 because to be an adult

00:58:25.280 in a civilized society

00:58:26.720 means controlling

00:58:28.160 your impulses

00:58:29.020 and conforming yourself

00:58:30.620 to certain standards

00:58:31.880 of conduct.

00:58:33.500 As you go about your day

00:58:34.820 you find yourself

00:58:35.700 in different roles,

00:58:37.000 you know,

00:58:37.560 all kinds of roles

00:58:38.420 as employee,

00:58:39.480 as customer,

00:58:40.240 as neighbor,

00:58:40.740 as parent,

00:58:41.180 as spouse.

00:58:41.840 Some of these roles

00:58:42.440 are situational,

00:58:43.380 some endure

00:58:43.940 and maintain

00:58:44.560 every day,

00:58:45.200 all day,

00:58:45.580 through your whole life

00:58:46.240 but each role

00:58:47.280 is accompanied

00:58:47.800 by expectations

00:58:48.800 and responsibilities.

00:58:50.820 Things you're supposed

00:58:51.760 to do and not do,

00:58:53.160 say and not say,

00:58:54.080 whether you like it or not.

00:58:55.960 So you bring

00:58:57.540 your full self

00:58:58.400 into each role

00:58:59.140 in a physical

00:58:59.660 and literal sense

00:59:00.500 but there may be aspects

00:59:02.100 of your personality,

00:59:04.180 okay,

00:59:04.360 there may be

00:59:04.880 inclinations

00:59:06.220 or preferences

00:59:06.940 or predilections

00:59:07.900 you have

00:59:08.520 which are not appropriate

00:59:09.880 and should not be expressed

00:59:11.660 or engaged in

00:59:12.580 given the role

00:59:13.780 or circumstance.

00:59:15.520 So if you walk

00:59:16.640 through life

00:59:17.100 declaring that

00:59:18.120 you're going to

00:59:18.940 be yourself everywhere

00:59:20.020 all the time

00:59:20.720 meaning that

00:59:21.240 you'll simply do

00:59:22.180 whatever you want

00:59:22.900 not respecting any standards

00:59:24.240 or acknowledging

00:59:24.800 any expectations

00:59:25.720 that everything in your life

00:59:27.180 quickly breaks down

00:59:28.040 and you begin to fail

00:59:30.360 in every role

00:59:31.020 and thus

00:59:31.500 in life itself.

00:59:33.780 Nowhere could this

00:59:34.640 be more obvious

00:59:35.420 than in the context

00:59:36.800 of air travel

00:59:37.520 because when we are

00:59:39.020 in a metal tube

00:59:39.860 35,000 feet in the air

00:59:41.520 hurtling along

00:59:42.660 at 600 miles an hour

00:59:43.960 it isn't the place

00:59:45.740 for anyone

00:59:46.480 to be their true selves

00:59:48.140 or express themselves

00:59:49.360 individually.

00:59:50.800 Nobody.

00:59:51.780 Like I don't want

00:59:52.240 anyone on the plane

00:59:53.040 doing that.

00:59:54.500 Given the stakes

00:59:55.540 and the consequences

00:59:56.280 if things go wrong

00:59:57.220 and given that

00:59:58.180 we're all stuck

00:59:58.920 in close proximity

00:59:59.840 to each other

01:00:00.440 and that none of us

01:00:01.260 can immediately

01:00:01.820 exit the situation

01:00:02.860 without suffering

01:00:03.840 rather significant

01:00:04.700 consequences

01:00:05.420 an airplane

01:00:07.040 is then a place

01:00:08.220 for decorum

01:00:09.040 and professionalism.

01:00:11.100 I want very little

01:00:12.460 personal expression

01:00:13.300 from the person

01:00:14.120 sitting next to me

01:00:14.840 even less do I want

01:00:15.560 it from the pilot.

01:00:17.400 None of us

01:00:18.060 are on the plane

01:00:18.780 in order so that

01:00:19.420 we can get to know

01:00:21.080 the captain

01:00:21.700 on an intimate

01:00:22.420 and personal level.

01:00:23.440 None of us

01:00:23.760 are interested

01:00:24.420 in his true self.

01:00:26.860 That's not why

01:00:27.520 we pay exorbitant sums

01:00:28.680 to board the aircraft.

01:00:30.780 We don't want

01:00:31.740 the pilot

01:00:32.080 to express himself.

01:00:32.840 We want him

01:00:33.160 to express the plane

01:00:34.360 from point A

01:00:35.700 to point B

01:00:36.220 and that's it.

01:00:38.000 We simply want

01:00:38.800 to arrive

01:00:39.240 at our destination

01:00:39.980 and we want

01:00:41.140 the flight crew

01:00:41.680 to get us there

01:00:42.420 as quickly

01:00:42.840 and safely

01:00:43.300 as possible

01:00:43.920 and with as little

01:00:45.520 drama as possible.

01:00:48.780 Flamboyant individualism

01:00:50.140 has never kept

01:00:50.860 a plane in the sky.

01:00:52.880 Engineering and physics

01:00:53.800 is what keeps

01:00:54.300 the plane in the sky

01:00:54.900 along with the expertise

01:00:55.940 of professionalism

01:00:56.760 on the part

01:00:57.580 of the people

01:00:58.120 in the cockpit.

01:00:59.920 So that should

01:01:01.000 be the focus.

01:01:03.460 And I shouldn't

01:01:04.100 have to say this

01:01:04.580 but this is also

01:01:05.080 why you should not

01:01:05.640 be cross-dressing 0.87

01:01:06.200 while flying the plane.

01:01:07.740 That is also why

01:01:08.420 Virgin Atlantic

01:01:09.200 is today cancelled.

01:01:11.560 And that'll do it

01:01:12.020 for this portion

01:01:12.500 of the show

01:01:12.820 as we move over

01:01:13.360 to the members block.

01:01:14.320 Hope to see you there.

01:01:15.020 If not,

01:01:15.920 talk to you tomorrow.

01:01:17.080 Godspeed.

01:01:23.800 Godspeed.

01:01:25.800 Godspeed.

01:01:26.200 Godspeed.

01:01:26.420 Godspeed.

01:01:27.000 Godspeed.

01:01:27.260 Godspeed.

01:01:27.900 Godspeed.

01:01:28.560 Godspeed.

01:01:28.740 Godspeed.

01:01:29.400 Godspeed.

01:01:30.000 Godspeed.

01:01:30.660 Godspeed.

01:01:31.100 Godspeed.

01:01:31.420 Godspeed.

01:01:31.740 Godspeed.

01:01:32.180 Godspeed.

01:01:32.920 Godspeed.

01:01:33.600 Godspeed.
