The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1122 - Why The Woke Mob Must Be Mocked

00:00:00.140 Today on the Matt Wall Show, James Bond is the latest fictional character to get a woke rewrite by so-called sensitivity readers.

00:00:06.700 This is quickly becoming a nationwide epidemic, and it really does matter. I'll explain.

00:00:11.160 Plus, MSNBC defends Biden from the ageist bigots who say that, you know, maybe it's not a good idea to have an elderly dementia patient as president.

00:00:18.720 And participants of an inclusivity workshop at the University of Michigan struggle to answer the question, what is a woman?

00:00:23.980 It's a trick question, they say. All of that and more on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:38.560 Last week, we heard about an especially loathsome group of people, members of a profession that shouldn't exist,

00:01:46.020 like abortionists and prostitutes, perhaps ranked right in between those two on the evil scale. 0.97

00:01:50.420 This is a group called Sensitivity Readers, and the group first made it onto my radar and the radar of lots of other people

00:01:56.900 after it was announced that one of my fellow beloved children's authors, Roald Dahl,

00:02:02.120 was enduring from the grave the humiliation of having his work posthumously rewritten

00:02:06.520 to remove and change, quote, insensitive language.

00:02:10.440 The people that Dahl's publisher had put in charge of this task were called sensitivity readers,

00:02:16.040 whose only job is to read and be sensitive.

00:02:19.300 Now, not sensitive to the author's legacy or intentions, not sensitive to what sort of language

00:02:24.660 is most descriptive or interesting, not sensitive to the integrity of the work that they're butchering,

00:02:31.620 not sensitive to any of that, but sensitive especially and only to the rules of wokeism.

00:02:37.120 As it happens, after backlash against this PC hatchet job of a great and prolific writer,

00:02:42.140 the publisher announced later last week that the unchanged and unmolested texts would now still be available to purchase.

00:02:52.220 So they will offer the sensitive version and then also the insensitive original version.

00:02:58.040 Now both will be on sale and you can choose.

00:03:00.320 It's supposed to make everything better, but it only manages to make the whole situation even more grotesque and gratuitous in a lot of ways,

00:03:06.420 because suddenly we're treating the works of recently deceased modern authors as though they're ancient manuscripts in a foreign language.

00:03:14.540 Multiple versions, multiple interpretations, multiple translations are all offered.

00:03:18.940 You know, the Bible has the KJV and the NIV and dozens of other English translations.

00:03:25.900 Well, Roald Dahl will soon have the original, the woke, the uber woke, the woker than woke,

00:03:32.800 and then another version where every single book is just a picture of a trans guy beating a Republican over the head with a pride flag.

00:03:40.540 But the scourge of the sensitivity reader stretches far beyond Roald Dahl.

00:03:44.740 His case is but the tip of a purple-haired iceberg.

00:03:48.240 And next in line is Ian Fleming.

00:03:50.780 He's the creator, of course, of James Bond.

00:03:52.520 Next in line to suffer the literary equivalent of corpse desecration, the New York Post reports this.

00:03:58.920 Ian Fleming's James Bond books have been rewritten with modern audiences in mind,

00:04:03.620 with so-called sensitivity experts removing a number of racial references ahead of 007's 70th anniversary this spring.

00:04:10.440 All of Fleming's thrillers, from Casino Royale to Octopussy, will be re-released this spring

00:04:15.640 after Ian Fleming Publications, the company that owns the literary rights to Fleming's work,

00:04:20.000 commissioned a review by sensitivity readers.

00:04:23.640 Now, we should step to the side here for a moment to quibble just briefly with the way that the Post has phrased this,

00:04:30.300 because these books are not being rewritten with modern audiences in mind.

00:04:34.420 I'm a member of the modern audience, and I have no interest in reading anything that's been force-fed

00:04:39.060 through a corporate DEI seminar filter.

00:04:41.620 In fact, as the backlash against this kind of blasphemy shows, many members of the modern audience do not want this.

00:04:49.340 No, these books are being rewritten with a very narrow audience in mind.

00:04:54.220 This is specifically being done to appease the sorts of people who would show up at a pride parade,

00:04:59.840 or attend a drag brunch, or, you know, the sorts of people who would see a rope hanging from a tree for a tire swing at the park,

00:05:06.340 and then go to Twitter and claim that it was a noose.

00:05:09.000 Like, those people specifically is who's being targeted here.

00:05:14.620 The particular neuroses of those sorts of people are being catered to.

00:05:19.200 So don't put this on the modern audience at large.

00:05:23.000 Put it on them.

00:05:24.300 Be clear.

00:05:25.600 Back to the Post, it says,

00:05:26.600 The book was written at a time when terms and attitudes that might be considered offensive by modern readers were commonplace.

00:05:36.620 A number of updates have been made to this edition,

00:05:38.580 while keeping as close as possible to the original text and period in which it was set.

00:05:43.940 Well, no, it's not as close as possible.

00:05:47.260 I mean, this is like if I made a delicious batch of pancakes for breakfast,

00:05:50.560 and then you took my pancakes and tossed them in the garbage,

00:05:53.020 and served up some frozen eggos that you didn't even bother to toast,

00:05:56.760 and then said, well, these are as close as possible to your pancakes.

00:06:00.900 No, they aren't.

00:06:01.500 The closest thing to my pancakes are my actual pancakes that you threw in the trash.

00:06:05.800 You can't claim that you're trying your best to preserve the spirit of my pancakes

00:06:09.960 when you had them and you chose to discard them.

00:06:14.140 Maybe getting a little sidetracked with this analogy, but you get my point.

00:06:17.100 A little more from the Post.

00:06:18.040 It says,

00:06:18.240 In some cases, racial descriptors and mentions of the N-word have been completely scrubbed from the text.

00:06:24.340 In the novel Dr. No, criminals escaping from Bond are now going to be referred to as gangsters,

00:06:29.320 and the race of a doctor and immigration officer now goes unmentioned.

00:06:33.180 The ethnicity of a barman in Thunderball is also omitted,

00:06:37.060 as is the race of a butler in Quantum of Solace.

00:06:42.000 And many other similar additions and omissions have been made as well.

00:06:45.560 But this is not just happening to Ian Fleming and Roald Dahl.

00:06:49.480 As mentioned, there is a burgeoning industry of sensitivity readers in publishing now.

00:06:54.300 They are cancerous tumors spreading as rapidly as DEI consultants did a few years before them.

00:06:59.820 Their only job is to deface the work of writers, both dead and alive.

00:07:05.440 And if I were to conduct a psychological profile of these creeps,

00:07:08.440 I could say with near certainty that they are almost all people who couldn't hack it as authors themselves.

00:07:14.620 Like, they wanted to be authors and they couldn't do it because they're not good writers.

00:07:17.540 And so now they spend their time bastardizing the work of authors who are doing what they could never do.

00:07:22.580 They say that those who can't do teach,

00:07:25.000 well, we might also say that those who can't write become now sensitivity readers.

00:07:29.860 Recently, the website Reason called attention to this parasitic infestation in the publishing industry.

00:07:34.800 In their report, after telling the anecdotal story of a very much still alive writer

00:07:40.620 who had his manuscript disemboweled and dismembered by a team of sensitivity readers hired by his publisher.

00:07:48.300 In fact, what we're told is that he had written a story and it featured prominently black characters.

00:07:55.340 And the publishers had assumed that he was a black author himself.

00:07:59.000 And then it turns out that although he's a racial minority,

00:08:02.460 they found out, well, he's not actually black.

00:08:04.440 And that changed everything.

00:08:05.480 The story that they liked, they realized this story is now problematic

00:08:09.000 because you're not the right racial category to write it.

00:08:12.220 And that's when they brought in the sensitivity readers to change everything,

00:08:16.000 to get in line with their sensitivities.

00:08:18.280 So we're told that story and then we're told this.

00:08:19.820 Known as sensitivity readers or sometimes authenticity readers,

00:08:23.700 these consultants are a growing part of publishing.

00:08:26.360 Hired to correct pre-publication or, as we know, sometimes post-publication,

00:08:31.140 missteps of authors who don't share the same traits or lived experience,

00:08:34.940 to use a favorite buzzword, as their characters.

00:08:37.520 The sensitivity reader's possible areas of expertise are as varied as human existence itself.

00:08:42.080 One representative consultancy boasts a list of experts

00:08:45.000 in the usual racial, ethnic, and religious categories,

00:08:49.940 but also in such areas as agoraphobia, Midwestern,

00:08:54.120 physical disability arms and legs, specifically that kind of disability,

00:08:58.260 and gamer geek.

00:08:59.860 Another one lists individual readers with intersectional qualifications.

00:09:03.120 Depending on the content of your novel, 0.99

00:09:04.720 you might hire a white lesbian with generalized anxiety disorder 1.00

00:09:07.980 or a bisexual, gender-fluid, light-skinned, brown Mexican 0.99

00:09:11.460 with a self-diagnosis of autism.

00:09:13.440 Every medical condition, every trauma, every form of oppression,

00:09:17.320 sensitivity readers will cover it all.

00:09:20.420 Now, as always, the thing that jumps out at you about these woke speech police,

00:09:26.600 it's not their sensitivity.

00:09:28.260 I mean, they actually aren't sensitive at all. 0.98

00:09:30.960 You'd have to be a soulless psychopath 0.74

00:09:32.560 to impose your own ideological fixations onto someone else's work, 0.98

00:09:37.720 whether living or dead.

00:09:38.820 But rather, what jumps out at you, then, is their arrogance,

00:09:43.060 their unbridled ego.

00:09:44.960 I mean, just think about this.

00:09:46.680 These people will tell an author

00:09:48.480 what would be most authentic

00:09:51.040 for the fictional characters that he created.

00:09:55.260 But there's, of course, only one person on earth

00:09:57.460 who can speak with final authority

00:09:59.020 about the characters an author creates,

00:10:01.420 and that is the author. 0.97

00:10:02.320 If I write a story about an agoraphobic black lesbian, 0.98

00:10:06.200 and I might just do that now just to spite these people, 0.99

00:10:09.660 literally whatever I have that black lesbian say or do 1.00

00:10:13.880 is authentic and correct because she's my character.

00:10:17.980 It doesn't make any sense for you to say,

00:10:19.900 well, no, that character doesn't say that or do that.

00:10:22.760 What are you talking about?

00:10:23.720 This comes from my mind.

00:10:25.300 These are my characters.

00:10:26.320 So she's going to do whatever I tell her to do.

00:10:30.540 She might not ring true to your experiences,

00:10:33.040 but I didn't write about your experiences.

00:10:36.300 Okay?

00:10:36.500 Not everything in the world is about you.

00:10:39.040 I wrote about the experiences of this phantom person I made up.

00:10:43.300 Whatever I say happened to her,

00:10:45.100 whatever I say she did or said,

00:10:47.260 that's it.

00:10:48.120 That's the final and absolute word.

00:10:50.240 You can't come along after the fact

00:10:51.380 and change it on the basis

00:10:52.300 that I should have written something different.

00:10:54.640 First of all, who are you to say what I should have written?

00:10:57.320 Second, even if it makes sense to say,

00:11:00.140 well, you should have written something different.

00:11:02.160 I didn't, though.

00:11:03.500 Okay?

00:11:03.680 I didn't happen to write whatever you think I should have written.

00:11:06.380 I happened to write what I wrote.

00:11:09.400 Roald Dahl, Ian Fleming,

00:11:11.440 you can say, well, they should have.

00:11:13.460 Ian Fleming should have phrased it differently in this book.

00:11:18.000 He didn't, though.

00:11:19.080 So that's what he actually wrote is what you have there.

00:11:22.240 You might not like it.

00:11:23.020 It might upset you.

00:11:23.640 It makes you Tommy hurt.

00:11:24.200 But that's what he wrote.

00:11:27.460 Changing it later,

00:11:28.660 especially after the author is dead,

00:11:30.160 is a lie.

00:11:30.860 It's another attempt to bend the world,

00:11:33.400 even now the fictional world,

00:11:35.780 to the egocentric whims

00:11:37.540 of this insufferable minority 1.00

00:11:39.380 of cry-bully vultures. 0.53

00:11:42.340 Now, not to rehash the debates of last week,

00:11:46.000 but I need to also mention

00:11:48.240 that this is yet another reason

00:11:50.180 why I choose a harsh and unapologetic approach

00:11:53.840 when I'm dealing with the woke mob

00:11:56.600 and all of its various tentacles.

00:11:59.280 This is another one of the reasons

00:12:01.140 why I approach things personally the way that I do.

00:12:03.100 These are people who have come to believe,

00:12:05.100 largely because they've been told,

00:12:06.240 that they have the right

00:12:09.020 to have their own particular sensitivities

00:12:11.540 and perceptions and desires

00:12:13.280 and hang-ups and fetishes

00:12:14.840 constantly affirmed by everyone

00:12:17.500 and everything,

00:12:19.200 everywhere,

00:12:20.240 all the time.

00:12:21.860 Even now,

00:12:22.620 this right extends to books

00:12:24.160 written by authors

00:12:25.000 who are dead.

00:12:26.020 even that

00:12:27.440 is caught up

00:12:30.060 in this dragnet 0.95

00:12:31.200 of narcissism.

00:12:34.120 Everything and everyone

00:12:35.260 must affirm

00:12:36.040 and nothing must ever challenge,

00:12:38.060 nothing must ever contradict.

00:12:39.500 They must never run into

00:12:40.380 any immovable objects.

00:12:42.420 They must never encounter

00:12:43.260 any wall

00:12:44.320 that doesn't topple over

00:12:45.360 the moment they lightly push against it.

00:12:48.140 This is what they're told.

00:12:50.400 The woke mob.

00:12:51.300 It's how they live.

00:12:52.620 It's what they demand of the world.

00:12:54.240 And I believe the only solution,

00:12:57.080 the only antidote,

00:12:58.140 the only way out of this

00:12:59.540 is to tell them no

00:13:00.940 and to say it loud

00:13:02.360 and to say it often

00:13:03.320 and to say it without apology.

00:13:06.100 These people need to be contradicted.

00:13:08.820 They need to be rebuked.

00:13:10.280 They need even to be mocked,

00:13:12.160 to have their feelings dismissed,

00:13:14.300 to have their sensitivities

00:13:15.480 utterly disrespected

00:13:17.160 and disregarded.

00:13:18.440 They need this.

00:13:20.160 They need it.

00:13:21.160 It is a need.

00:13:22.380 It's like the rest of us need

00:13:23.380 water and air

00:13:24.860 and they need that too

00:13:26.020 but they also need this.

00:13:29.340 It's their only hope

00:13:30.440 of ever becoming

00:13:31.220 good, productive human beings.

00:13:32.560 Their only hope.

00:13:33.260 And it is society's only hope

00:13:34.900 of ever escaping the grasp 0.79

00:13:36.380 of these whiny, 0.83

00:13:37.780 unbearable, 1.00

00:13:38.780 micromanaging jerks. 1.00

00:13:40.100 In fact, 0.99

00:13:42.080 we should upset them

00:13:43.420 just for the sake of it. 0.82

00:13:46.640 Trolling these tyrants 0.85

00:13:47.820 is a virtue.

00:13:48.980 It is a virtuous act

00:13:50.480 because it is an act

00:13:51.900 of rebellion against disorder,

00:13:54.520 rebellion against moral confusion

00:13:56.380 and intellectual rot.

00:13:57.760 It is, in other words,

00:14:00.360 a good and virtuous thing.

00:14:02.740 Good and virtuous

00:14:03.460 to say to these people,

00:14:04.460 especially the sensitivity readers, 1.00

00:14:06.440 kiss my ass. 1.00

00:14:08.120 And also, 1.00

00:14:08.900 you're canceled.

00:14:09.620 I know that's not the right segment

00:14:10.460 for that,

00:14:10.780 but it just felt right to say it,

00:14:11.900 so I'm throwing that in.

00:14:13.240 Now let's get to our five head.

00:14:14.460 You know,

00:14:20.920 I've been doing a lot of traveling.

00:14:22.360 I'm back on the road yet again.

00:14:23.620 And one of the problems,

00:14:24.980 I generally do okay on planes,

00:14:27.160 but if I'm in a car,

00:14:29.460 Uber,

00:14:29.880 something like that,

00:14:30.600 I tend to struggle

00:14:31.600 with car sickness.

00:14:32.840 This is my own disability,

00:14:34.760 my own marginalized group

00:14:35.760 that I'm a part of.

00:14:37.020 And that's why I rely so much

00:14:39.540 on Relief Band.

00:14:40.600 Relief Band is the number one

00:14:49.560 hangovers,

00:14:50.060 morning sickness,

00:15:31.780 You know,

00:15:32.960 I got to say

00:15:33.580 and you guys know

00:15:34.840 that I don't like to complain

00:15:35.940 except for the 600 times a day

00:15:39.180 that I do complain.

00:15:39.760 But I'm not complaining.

00:15:40.700 I don't like to complain

00:15:41.340 except for when I am.

00:15:43.900 Regardless,

00:15:44.560 I was on a plane last night

00:15:46.160 and there was someone behind me

00:15:47.660 who brought their cat on board

00:15:49.780 and it was one of these

00:15:51.020 very small puddle jumper type planes.

00:15:53.820 So we were all crammed together

00:15:55.200 and I had to listen to this cat

00:15:57.320 meowing and whining

00:15:59.100 for the entire flight.

00:16:02.000 And here's the thing.

00:16:02.940 This is all I want to say about it.

00:16:03.720 People always complain

00:16:04.900 about babies crying.

00:16:06.800 You know,

00:16:07.040 babies crying on planes,

00:16:08.380 especially babies cry anywhere 0.99

00:16:10.320 and people complain about it.

00:16:12.680 I will never complain about that.

00:16:14.020 I've,

00:16:14.400 like anyone else,

00:16:15.100 I've been on planes before

00:16:15.920 where there's a baby crying

00:16:16.560 the whole time.

00:16:17.300 And I mean,

00:16:17.720 do I like the sound of it?

00:16:18.680 Do I want to hear it?

00:16:19.240 No,

00:16:19.700 but I'm not going to complain about it

00:16:20.940 after the fact

00:16:21.400 because it's a,

00:16:22.160 it's a baby.

00:16:22.940 It's a human being.

00:16:25.120 You know,

00:16:25.640 they have a right to travel

00:16:27.140 like anyone else

00:16:28.120 and parents have a right to travel.

00:16:30.800 And so babies are part

00:16:32.960 of human society.

00:16:34.020 And so they're going to be included

00:16:35.840 in things and they should be.

00:16:37.200 And,

00:16:37.740 and so listening to,

00:16:38.900 to crying babies out in public,

00:16:40.580 that is

00:16:41.920 unexpected

00:16:43.200 and,

00:16:44.040 and justified

00:16:45.380 and worthwhile cost

00:16:47.860 of being a member

00:16:48.940 of a human society.

00:16:50.220 Okay.

00:16:51.780 And it's also a good sign.

00:16:53.000 Like when you hear babies crying,

00:16:54.340 it means that there are babies being born

00:16:55.760 and there are new young families

00:16:57.140 and this is all a beautiful thing.

00:16:59.160 But listening to your pets,

00:17:01.340 okay,

00:17:01.740 that is a different matter entirely.

00:17:03.880 So I'm,

00:17:04.200 I am,

00:17:04.540 I am different.

00:17:05.840 I,

00:17:05.960 I,

00:17:06.300 I approach this differently

00:17:07.460 from a lot of people,

00:17:08.280 which is to say,

00:17:09.140 I approach it correctly.

00:17:11.340 Because the baby on the plane,

00:17:12.860 everyone gets annoyed by that.

00:17:14.380 But I am tolerant of it.

00:17:17.180 Cat meowing on the,

00:17:18.240 on the plane though.

00:17:18.940 I think I was the only one.

00:17:19.720 Everyone else was like,

00:17:20.520 oh,

00:17:20.780 we can listen to the cat.

00:17:21.680 No,

00:17:21.900 I don't want to hear that.

00:17:23.100 I got to listen to that.

00:17:24.400 Because you wanted to bring your pet

00:17:26.080 on the plane.

00:17:27.620 You couldn't just leave your pet at,

00:17:29.240 I don't know the situation.

00:17:30.480 But I,

00:17:31.380 there just isn't

00:17:32.660 a conceivable good reason

00:17:34.020 to bring a cat on a plane.

00:17:35.100 It just,

00:17:35.700 it doesn't exist.

00:17:37.820 Pets are not human.

00:17:39.840 Okay.

00:17:40.460 They're not equal 0.99

00:17:41.660 to us.

00:17:42.920 My desire

00:17:44.780 to be,

00:17:45.500 to not be inconvenienced,

00:17:46.580 not have to listen to your pet

00:17:47.540 is more important

00:17:49.200 than your pet.

00:17:51.200 Okay.

00:17:51.660 Because I'm a human.

00:17:52.740 I'm more important.

00:17:55.600 I should,

00:17:56.780 here's where I'm at.

00:17:58.320 Being inconvenienced

00:17:59.600 or,

00:18:00.000 or,

00:18:00.360 you know,

00:18:00.560 even annoyed,

00:18:01.300 frustrated because

00:18:02.300 children and little babies

00:18:04.060 are acting like children

00:18:05.140 and little babies act. 0.85

00:18:07.100 That again,

00:18:08.300 I'm fine with it.

00:18:09.520 But I shouldn't ever,

00:18:10.720 I should never have to be

00:18:12.720 even slightly inconvenienced

00:18:14.880 or annoyed

00:18:15.600 by your pet.

00:18:17.340 Ever.

00:18:18.180 Like,

00:18:18.660 it,

00:18:18.980 not even slightly.

00:18:20.800 If you're putting

00:18:21.800 other human beings

00:18:22.640 in a position

00:18:23.140 where they're even

00:18:23.840 slightly annoyed

00:18:25.080 by your pet,

00:18:27.060 it,

00:18:27.360 you've already

00:18:27.800 crossed a boundary.

00:18:28.940 Not saying you can't have pets,

00:18:30.720 but it should never,

00:18:31.960 ever be my problem.

00:18:33.660 I don't want to see 0.98

00:18:34.440 dog crap on the sidewalk. 0.98

00:18:36.060 I don't want to hear 1.00

00:18:36.700 anyone's dog barking.

00:18:38.220 I don't want to,

00:18:38.800 I just don't want to deal with it.

00:18:40.780 Nothing.

00:18:42.340 Which means

00:18:43.220 don't bring your pets

00:18:44.640 into situations

00:18:45.640 that were made

00:18:46.380 for people.

00:18:47.900 And planes are made

00:18:48.960 for people.

00:18:50.920 Okay?

00:18:52.240 Good.

00:18:54.800 Let's see.

00:18:56.420 This is from Yaf.

00:18:58.640 Over the weekend,

00:18:59.500 leading event management

00:19:00.420 platform Eventbrite

00:19:01.440 once again demonstrated

00:19:02.360 its intolerance

00:19:03.300 for conservative events

00:19:04.280 by taking down

00:19:05.260 the ticketing page

00:19:06.120 for Young America's

00:19:06.920 Foundation Wednesday

00:19:07.700 evening lecture

00:19:08.500 featuring Matt Walsh

00:19:09.440 at Stanford University.

00:19:11.160 Hundreds of registered

00:19:11.820 attendees were surprised

00:19:12.860 to receive emails

00:19:13.580 from the company

00:19:14.160 informing them

00:19:15.280 that their tickets

00:19:15.840 had been canceled.

00:19:16.920 When a Stanford

00:19:17.600 student organizer

00:19:18.400 asked an Eventbrite

00:19:19.680 customer service representative

00:19:20.760 why the tickets

00:19:21.500 were canceled,

00:19:22.640 she responded,

00:19:23.420 it does actually

00:19:24.080 violate our terms of service.

00:19:25.400 It does not mean

00:19:26.000 you cannot host the event.

00:19:26.920 However,

00:19:27.140 you can no longer

00:19:27.700 ticket for it

00:19:28.840 via Eventbrite.

00:19:30.440 This is far from

00:19:30.840 the first time

00:19:31.240 that Eventbrite

00:19:31.660 has discriminated 0.82

00:19:32.180 against events

00:19:32.680 featuring Matt Walsh

00:19:33.420 and his groundbreaking

00:19:33.900 documentary

00:19:34.260 What is a Woman? 1.00

00:19:35.300 In November,

00:19:35.760 they did exactly

00:19:36.280 the same thing

00:19:36.700 to a ticketing page

00:19:37.440 for Walsh's

00:19:37.960 YAF tour stop

00:19:38.740 at the University

00:19:39.160 of California,

00:19:39.720 Berkeley.

00:19:40.300 They've also taken

00:19:40.740 down pages advertising

00:19:41.840 independent screenings

00:19:43.800 of his documentary

00:19:44.320 by conservative

00:19:45.280 campus groups

00:19:45.880 and a community

00:19:46.380 parent association.

00:19:47.500 Okay, so

00:19:47.880 I mean,

00:19:49.560 the headline here

00:19:50.480 is that

00:19:50.960 I have been

00:19:52.340 effectively banned

00:19:53.860 from Eventbrite.

00:19:54.940 Not just,

00:19:55.480 actually,

00:19:56.340 scratch that.

00:19:57.400 I have not been,

00:19:58.560 well, I am banned.

00:19:59.380 I would assume

00:19:59.980 that if I tried

00:20:00.440 to throw my own event

00:20:01.260 and put it on

00:20:01.920 Eventbrite

00:20:02.500 that they wouldn't

00:20:03.420 allow me to do it.

00:20:03.900 But it's like

00:20:04.500 anything that

00:20:05.380 mentions me

00:20:06.340 or is associated

00:20:07.720 with me

00:20:08.100 is also banned.

00:20:10.000 Because as it

00:20:10.460 mentions in the article,

00:20:12.620 the Stanford thing,

00:20:13.860 yeah, I'm going to

00:20:14.420 Stanford and I'm going

00:20:15.260 to speak.

00:20:15.940 And so you're not

00:20:16.700 allowed to,

00:20:17.100 because I guess

00:20:17.580 because I'm a scary

00:20:19.260 and hateful figure,

00:20:20.180 they would say,

00:20:20.920 then you're not

00:20:21.560 allowed to advertise it.

00:20:23.860 But there have also

00:20:24.660 been many cases

00:20:25.540 of people just trying

00:20:26.620 to do a screening

00:20:27.380 for the film,

00:20:28.340 What is a Woman? 1.00

00:20:29.480 where I'm not even

00:20:30.280 attending.

00:20:31.060 It's just something

00:20:31.520 they're doing

00:20:31.780 on their own.

00:20:32.340 And Eventbrite

00:20:33.720 takes down

00:20:34.140 those as well.

00:20:35.420 So they've

00:20:36.080 effectively banned

00:20:37.260 me and anything

00:20:38.160 to do with me

00:20:38.760 from their platform,

00:20:39.980 but they won't

00:20:40.760 admit it.

00:20:41.300 They won't just

00:20:41.640 come out and say it.

00:20:42.460 So instead,

00:20:42.960 they take this

00:20:43.680 piecemeal approach

00:20:44.560 and they look for

00:20:45.560 any mention of my

00:20:46.360 name and then

00:20:46.720 they ban that.

00:20:48.040 This is one of

00:20:48.760 the biggest issues

00:20:49.780 with big tech

00:20:51.460 censorship and

00:20:52.580 deplatforming is,

00:20:54.600 aside from the

00:20:55.100 simple fact that

00:20:55.720 it's happening,

00:20:56.660 also the fact that

00:20:57.640 there's no

00:20:58.080 transparency,

00:20:59.520 that they're not

00:21:00.060 honest about what

00:21:00.960 they're doing.

00:21:02.340 And you want to

00:21:02.760 talk about laws

00:21:04.120 and regulations

00:21:04.620 should be put in

00:21:05.640 place at a

00:21:07.160 minimum.

00:21:07.700 Like, this is

00:21:08.220 really entry-level

00:21:09.040 stuff.

00:21:10.320 But to begin

00:21:11.680 with, they

00:21:12.640 should at least

00:21:13.080 be required to

00:21:13.800 be honest about

00:21:14.920 what they're

00:21:15.320 doing.

00:21:15.660 So if someone

00:21:16.660 is banned,

00:21:17.340 they have to

00:21:17.700 say so.

00:21:18.240 If someone is

00:21:18.880 shadow banned,

00:21:19.660 they have to

00:21:19.960 say so.

00:21:20.360 If someone's

00:21:20.760 blacklisted,

00:21:21.680 whatever, you

00:21:22.760 have to come

00:21:23.220 out and say

00:21:23.960 that.

00:21:24.840 Because that's

00:21:25.960 the kind of

00:21:26.840 transparency that

00:21:27.900 in most other

00:21:29.080 situations,

00:21:30.000 companies are

00:21:30.660 required to

00:21:31.880 provide for

00:21:34.420 their customers.

00:21:36.580 But here with

00:21:37.120 these big tech

00:21:37.580 companies, they

00:21:38.340 can do all

00:21:38.800 this and not

00:21:39.380 even admit to

00:21:39.920 it.

00:21:41.800 Meanwhile, on

00:21:42.420 campus, the

00:21:42.920 leftist students

00:21:43.440 and faculty are,

00:21:44.360 of course, very

00:21:44.660 upset that I'm

00:21:45.160 coming there on

00:21:46.120 Wednesday to

00:21:47.280 Stanford.

00:21:47.840 They've been

00:21:48.100 ripping my flyers

00:21:49.160 down, all the

00:21:49.620 rest of it.

00:21:49.900 Apparently, they've

00:21:50.540 been burning some

00:21:51.240 of them.

00:21:51.880 There were some

00:21:52.180 that were ripped

00:21:52.500 down and burned,

00:21:53.900 along with other

00:21:55.360 acts of protest.

00:21:56.460 There's been

00:21:57.160 conversations on

00:22:01.520 message boards and

00:22:02.900 all the rest of

00:22:03.400 it with student

00:22:04.180 groups and they've

00:22:05.080 been trying to

00:22:05.380 organize and

00:22:06.360 everything.

00:22:06.900 There was one I

00:22:07.340 saw, I think

00:22:08.300 Yaf posted, and

00:22:11.720 it was a

00:22:12.320 conversation on

00:22:13.080 some forum about

00:22:14.080 how they were

00:22:14.720 going to deal

00:22:15.580 with my presence

00:22:16.880 there.

00:22:17.760 And one of the

00:22:18.240 ideas that they

00:22:18.900 were tossing

00:22:19.560 around, I don't

00:22:19.920 know if this is

00:22:20.260 what they settled

00:22:20.740 on, but it's

00:22:21.840 always fun to see

00:22:22.500 the brainstorming

00:22:23.280 session in action.

00:22:24.100 Because they'll

00:22:24.660 do the

00:22:24.900 brainstorming on

00:22:26.340 the internet,

00:22:27.300 thinking that I'll

00:22:28.800 never see it, but

00:22:29.360 of course I'll end

00:22:29.740 up seeing it.

00:22:31.100 And in this

00:22:32.060 brainstorming session,

00:22:32.700 the idea they

00:22:33.340 had was that

00:22:34.980 they would come

00:22:35.560 to the event

00:22:36.880 and then laugh

00:22:39.220 throughout the

00:22:40.880 event.

00:22:41.200 They would laugh.

00:22:43.940 And that's going

00:22:45.680 to be very

00:22:46.160 upsetting to me.

00:22:48.800 Which all that

00:22:49.560 tells me is I

00:22:50.140 guess just throw

00:22:50.820 more jokes into

00:22:51.580 my speech and

00:22:53.320 they'll be

00:22:53.600 laughing at it.

00:22:54.200 I have a built

00:22:55.020 in laugh

00:22:55.460 track now.

00:22:58.900 I mean, what

00:22:59.200 I could do,

00:22:59.960 if that's your

00:23:01.340 approach, then

00:23:02.280 what you're

00:23:02.560 really telling

00:23:03.140 me is that I

00:23:06.080 need to come

00:23:06.560 up with a

00:23:06.940 speech where I

00:23:08.620 am just

00:23:08.920 ruthlessly

00:23:09.760 mocking

00:23:10.720 marginalized

00:23:12.140 people for the

00:23:13.200 entire time so

00:23:14.240 that you will be

00:23:15.120 in a position now

00:23:15.600 where you're

00:23:15.860 laughing at it.

00:23:18.680 That's the

00:23:19.200 chess move now

00:23:19.840 on my part.

00:23:20.360 You have given

00:23:21.500 me no choice

00:23:22.380 now.

00:23:22.760 You've put me

00:23:23.280 in this

00:23:23.520 position as

00:23:25.460 a defense

00:23:25.940 strategy.

00:23:27.560 As a defense

00:23:28.480 strategy, I now

00:23:29.440 have to come up

00:23:30.080 with the most

00:23:30.960 offensive,

00:23:33.140 gratuitous

00:23:34.620 college address

00:23:36.480 ever written

00:23:37.420 and delivered.

00:23:41.580 I'm not

00:23:42.160 promising that

00:23:42.760 right now, but

00:23:43.400 I am saying

00:23:43.960 that that is

00:23:46.580 where you're

00:23:47.620 pushing me.

00:23:48.560 Then it's your

00:23:49.240 fault.

00:23:49.460 If it does

00:23:50.460 happen, I

00:23:51.020 want you to

00:23:51.300 know it

00:23:51.660 hurts me

00:23:52.160 more than

00:23:52.500 it hurts

00:23:52.680 you.

00:23:53.840 I don't

00:23:54.520 want to

00:23:54.660 have to

00:23:54.840 do this.

00:23:57.260 Here's an

00:23:57.760 article from

00:23:58.520 some leftists

00:23:59.880 on campus in

00:24:00.420 their student

00:24:00.880 newspaper.

00:24:03.200 It says,

00:24:03.660 the right wants

00:24:04.260 to erase 0.98

00:24:04.740 trans people. 0.96

00:24:06.180 In the last

00:24:06.600 several days,

00:24:07.280 Trump and

00:24:07.560 DeSantis have

00:24:08.100 both made

00:24:08.500 incendiary claims

00:24:09.460 about gender

00:24:09.960 affirming care

00:24:10.560 for minors.

00:24:11.480 Trump himself

00:24:11.940 promised that

00:24:12.620 if elected,

00:24:13.440 he would ban

00:24:13.920 transition for

00:24:14.640 all minors

00:24:15.240 nationwide.

00:24:15.940 He would end

00:24:16.260 federal support

00:24:16.840 for transgender

00:24:17.300 health care and

00:24:18.280 end promoting

00:24:20.160 transition at any

00:24:21.080 age.

00:24:22.000 Criminalized

00:24:22.340 doctors have

00:24:22.800 provided gender

00:24:24.120 affirming care to

00:24:24.760 minor children.

00:24:27.040 Unfortunately, one

00:24:27.680 of the primary

00:24:28.160 propagandists of

00:24:29.160 this looming

00:24:29.680 erasure is coming

00:24:30.560 here to Stanford

00:24:31.200 to speak.

00:24:31.960 Matt Walsh,

00:24:32.420 director of the

00:24:32.920 transphobic movie

00:24:33.720 What is a Woman? 1.00

00:24:34.360 and self-described

00:24:35.700 theocratic fascist 0.96

00:24:37.260 and transphobe of 1.00

00:24:38.300 the year.

00:24:39.020 Hang on, fact

00:24:39.840 check.

00:24:40.160 I'm not a

00:24:40.520 self-described

00:24:41.360 transphobe of

00:24:43.040 the year.

00:24:43.380 I was given

00:24:44.040 that title.

00:24:44.940 I won that

00:24:45.920 title.

00:24:46.220 It was awarded

00:24:46.680 to me.

00:24:47.280 I didn't make

00:24:47.860 that up.

00:24:48.600 So I want a

00:24:49.280 correction in the

00:24:49.900 Stanford paper.

00:24:53.160 Matt Walsh is

00:24:53.880 perhaps the most

00:24:54.340 egregious far-right

00:24:55.300 agitator.

00:24:55.900 In the past,

00:24:56.420 among many other

00:24:57.080 things, Walsh has

00:24:57.920 called for execution

00:24:58.840 of doctors providing 0.99

00:24:59.840 transgender health

00:25:00.580 care.

00:25:00.820 attempting to

00:25:01.640 trick trans women 1.00

00:25:02.420 and girls into 0.96

00:25:02.940 interviews for his

00:25:03.640 movie, blamed drag

00:25:04.960 events for inciting

00:25:05.780 the Club Q

00:25:06.340 shooting, referred to

00:25:07.480 youth gender-affirming

00:25:08.320 care as akin to

00:25:09.120 molestation and

00:25:09.800 rape, and cruelly 1.00

00:25:10.960 attacked trans women 0.98

00:25:12.060 for living their 0.86

00:25:12.720 lives.

00:25:13.500 Matt Walsh wants

00:25:14.160 nothing more than

00:25:15.040 to paint all

00:25:15.660 supporters of

00:25:16.240 gender ideology as

00:25:17.640 predators of 0.93

00:25:18.400 children.

00:25:19.820 Well, yeah,

00:25:21.880 pretty much.

00:25:23.560 Yeah, I mean,

00:25:24.100 anyone who promotes

00:25:25.060 gender ideology is 1.00

00:25:25.920 preying on children, 1.00

00:25:26.700 is a predator of

00:25:27.520 children.

00:25:28.300 Absolutely.

00:25:28.580 Because it is an

00:25:32.000 inherently predatorial

00:25:33.500 ideology, and it

00:25:35.260 always has been from

00:25:36.000 the very beginning.

00:25:36.740 I mean, it's an

00:25:37.180 ideology that was

00:25:37.840 invented by a

00:25:38.860 child-abusing 1.00

00:25:39.340 pedophile, John 1.00

00:25:40.300 Money. 0.55

00:25:40.680 So, and it has

00:25:42.120 remained in that

00:25:44.220 spirit ever since

00:25:45.280 then.

00:25:46.200 Then it goes on and

00:25:46.860 on and on, and then

00:25:47.540 at the end it says,

00:25:48.460 whatever it takes,

00:25:50.520 Matt Walsh must not

00:25:51.900 be platformed here.

00:25:52.840 So, whatever must

00:25:55.480 happen.

00:25:56.560 It says, I must not

00:25:57.440 speak on campus.

00:25:59.560 This is not a

00:26:00.320 question of freedom

00:26:00.880 of speech, but one

00:26:01.600 of the lives of our

00:26:03.160 queer and trans

00:26:03.900 students.

00:26:05.640 This is always, of

00:26:06.600 course, the

00:26:06.860 justification of,

00:26:10.020 you know, while

00:26:10.680 they are very

00:26:11.480 clearly trying to

00:26:12.960 tamp down on

00:26:13.880 suppress, censor

00:26:14.680 free speech, they

00:26:16.420 say, well, it's not,

00:26:17.360 it doesn't count as

00:26:18.520 suppressing free

00:26:19.120 speech because this

00:26:20.520 kind of speech is

00:26:21.360 going to get people 0.97

00:26:21.940 killed. 0.99

00:26:23.700 And so, as long

00:26:24.620 as it's speech that

00:26:25.680 you can accuse, as

00:26:27.600 long as you can

00:26:28.060 accuse the speech of

00:26:29.100 being dangerous, then

00:26:30.120 it's okay to censor

00:26:30.820 it.

00:26:33.520 Which obviously just

00:26:34.460 means that you can

00:26:35.180 censor all speech

00:26:36.280 because you can

00:26:37.320 claim that all

00:26:39.900 speech is dangerous

00:26:40.680 if you want it to

00:26:41.240 be.

00:26:42.660 All right, moving

00:26:43.340 on to this, MSNBC

00:26:44.380 has some choice

00:26:45.180 words for those who

00:26:46.380 would dare suggest

00:26:47.560 that Biden might be

00:26:48.700 too old for

00:26:49.740 re-election.

00:26:50.720 Here it is.

00:26:52.940 There's this

00:26:53.560 incredible disconnect

00:26:54.500 between the gratitude

00:26:55.520 that most Democrats

00:26:56.580 have for Biden, his

00:26:58.320 career, the last few

00:26:59.400 years, and how many

00:27:01.120 don't want him to

00:27:01.760 run.

00:27:02.060 I mean, this is over

00:27:02.700 50, even 60 in some

00:27:04.380 poll percent.

00:27:05.440 It's unbelievable.

00:27:06.220 Part of this, the other

00:27:07.640 part of this is that,

00:27:09.220 you know, it's the age

00:27:10.200 question, which I know

00:27:11.200 is uncomfortable to talk

00:27:12.160 about, but, you know,

00:27:13.940 it's a huge issue for

00:27:14.900 most Democrats.

00:27:16.800 Well, I mean...

00:27:17.440 I don't know if it

00:27:17.740 should be.

00:27:18.220 I think age is what it

00:27:19.840 is, and we keep telling

00:27:21.180 people what it is when

00:27:22.700 we shouldn't be.

00:27:23.960 Well, I mean, there are

00:27:24.560 some people who are

00:27:25.540 at their best in their

00:27:27.900 80s.

00:27:28.220 Nancy Pelosi.

00:27:28.840 My mom was using a 0.92

00:27:29.780 chainsaw and doing her 0.98

00:27:30.880 best work in her 80s.

00:27:32.900 Nancy Pelosi, without

00:27:34.320 chainsaw, was doing a

00:27:35.800 pretty damn good job in

00:27:36.940 her 80s as well. 0.63

00:27:37.560 Different type.

00:27:41.580 With all due respect to

00:27:42.900 your, you know, to your

00:27:44.620 mother, no, she was not

00:27:47.520 doing...

00:27:47.980 She might have been using 0.99

00:27:48.480 a chainsaw in her 80s.

00:27:50.060 It doesn't sound...

00:27:51.600 Not something that I would

00:27:52.780 be comfortable with if it

00:27:54.080 was my mom, but no, your

00:27:56.620 mom was not doing her

00:27:57.980 best work in her 80s.

00:27:59.800 Nobody does.

00:28:01.280 Like, I mean, maybe it

00:28:03.140 depends on what we mean

00:28:03.720 by best work.

00:28:07.060 But I'm trying to think

00:28:08.240 of a kind of work that

00:28:09.800 someone would be best at

00:28:11.920 in their 80s.

00:28:15.200 And nothing is coming to

00:28:16.560 mind.

00:28:16.880 I'm drawing a blank.

00:28:18.340 Because almost any work

00:28:19.980 you can think of, whether

00:28:22.160 it's professional work or,

00:28:23.460 you know, artistic work or

00:28:24.900 political work or any kind

00:28:25.920 of work, physical work,

00:28:27.980 mental work, whatever work

00:28:30.400 comes to mind, you are not

00:28:32.140 going...

00:28:32.520 Now, you might still be able

00:28:34.120 to perform some of that

00:28:35.660 work in your 80s, but you're

00:28:36.760 not going to be at your best

00:28:38.060 with it in your 80s.

00:28:39.300 Obviously not.

00:28:40.800 This is just absurd.

00:28:41.920 And this is what you hear.

00:28:42.680 We all know that's not true.

00:28:44.500 So the people that are

00:28:45.240 trying to claim that there

00:28:47.300 shouldn't be any age cap on

00:28:48.600 the presidency, that it's

00:28:49.520 ageism to say that, hey,

00:28:51.320 maybe when you get to your

00:28:52.780 80s, you're too old to be

00:28:53.500 president.

00:28:54.400 People that make that

00:28:55.000 claim is like, as always,

00:28:55.860 divorced from reality and

00:28:57.220 they're saying things that

00:28:58.080 we all know aren't true.

00:29:00.640 Based on this anecdotal,

00:29:02.060 oh, my grandmother, she was

00:29:03.220 a real firecracker when she 1.00

00:29:04.540 was, you know, she lived to

00:29:05.560 93 and she was a real

00:29:07.060 firecracker.

00:29:08.760 Yeah, I'm sure she was,

00:29:11.600 but she was not at her prime

00:29:13.760 when she was 90, right?

00:29:15.980 On any sense of the term.

00:29:18.300 Like she, your, your

00:29:22.420 grandmother, whatever your 0.99

00:29:24.180 grandmother is, if she lived

00:29:25.280 to be elderly, God bless

00:29:27.100 her, probably a wonderful 0.82

00:29:28.400 woman, but she was 1.00

00:29:30.580 experiencing mental and

00:29:32.120 physical decline, like

00:29:33.300 significant mental and

00:29:35.760 physical decline.

00:29:36.980 And I know that, I know that

00:29:39.700 because it happens to

00:29:40.920 everyone because we are

00:29:42.440 humans and we are mortal

00:29:44.120 and we don't live to be 600

00:29:46.620 years old, if we did, then

00:29:48.320 yeah, once you're in your

00:29:49.200 80s, you might still, I

00:29:50.780 mean, you're, you're

00:29:52.160 proud, your life is just

00:29:53.120 beginning.

00:29:55.500 But no, the average age,

00:29:57.300 most, most people die in

00:29:58.280 their mid 80s.

00:30:00.440 And I mean, if you're very,

00:30:02.040 very fortunate, you'll make

00:30:02.800 it into your 90s.

00:30:03.880 Almost nobody makes it past

00:30:05.460 that.

00:30:07.840 So no matter what, you're at

00:30:09.520 the end of your life.

00:30:10.580 You are at the end of your

00:30:11.760 life at this point and

00:30:12.980 things are starting to shut

00:30:14.220 down.

00:30:14.540 That is, we can plug our

00:30:17.560 ears and hum to ourselves

00:30:19.560 to try to deny this

00:30:20.900 reality, but it just is the

00:30:22.540 reality.

00:30:23.400 It's not ageism to point it

00:30:25.000 out.

00:30:25.360 It simply is.

00:30:28.260 And so when we know that

00:30:31.500 mental and physical decline

00:30:32.620 is happening at an

00:30:34.640 increasing rate once you get

00:30:36.000 into your 80s, why would we

00:30:38.280 want a president to be

00:30:40.740 experiencing that?

00:30:41.240 When there are lots of

00:30:44.660 people who would run for

00:30:45.980 president who are not that

00:30:47.100 old.

00:30:48.420 Doesn't mean all those younger

00:30:49.340 people are any good, but

00:30:50.580 Joe Biden isn't either.

00:30:53.260 So we can't even say that,

00:30:54.900 listen, yeah, he's old, but

00:30:56.020 he's just, he's the absolute

00:30:57.140 best.

00:30:57.960 Nobody was better.

00:30:59.140 And even him in his 80s is

00:31:00.720 better than someone else in

00:31:01.920 their 50s.

00:31:02.540 That's not even true.

00:31:03.880 Just like this mediocre, 0.96

00:31:05.520 nothing of a person. 0.63

00:31:06.860 And for some reason we

00:31:09.000 say, well, we need him.

00:31:10.140 We need it.

00:31:11.140 We got to stick with him.

00:31:12.460 We got to stick with him 0.93

00:31:13.000 until he dies.

00:31:16.560 There is no good argument

00:31:19.240 for allowing people, you

00:31:22.020 know, in their 80s to be

00:31:23.280 president.

00:31:23.720 A lot of people past 75 to

00:31:25.120 run for president.

00:31:26.060 Obviously, there should be an

00:31:27.100 age limit on it.

00:31:28.040 Obviously, the only argument

00:31:29.860 against it is just some

00:31:31.100 nonsense platitude about

00:31:32.840 ageism, which no one ever

00:31:35.080 applies in the other

00:31:36.360 direction.

00:31:36.900 You know, no one ever

00:31:37.480 says that, well, if you

00:31:39.280 don't let people run until

00:31:40.180 they're 35, that's ageism.

00:31:42.360 There is a much better

00:31:43.640 argument for allowing a

00:31:45.360 30-year-old to be

00:31:46.160 president than there is for

00:31:47.160 allowing an 80-year-old to

00:31:49.000 be president.

00:31:50.340 I don't think we should do

00:31:51.240 either, but it is a much,

00:31:54.500 you know, is a much better

00:31:55.940 argument on the other

00:31:56.980 direction.

00:32:01.600 And also, okay, on top of

00:32:04.640 the decline, you are again at

00:32:07.620 the end of your life.

00:32:09.380 And so you just, you don't

00:32:11.040 have a personal stake in the

00:32:12.840 future, nearly to the extent

00:32:14.280 that other people do, because

00:32:16.000 you're not going to be around.

00:32:17.060 Joe Biden, if he hopefully is

00:32:20.200 voted out of office in this

00:32:21.900 next election cycle, or God

00:32:23.740 forbid he's reelected, either

00:32:26.860 way, you know, he's not going to

00:32:29.700 be around for very long.

00:32:30.620 If he doesn't die in office,

00:32:32.480 when he gets out of office, he'll

00:32:33.760 be around probably for a couple 0.98

00:32:34.520 of years and then he'll die. 0.85

00:32:36.120 Because that's what happens.

00:32:37.920 Because again, he's in his

00:32:38.600 80s.

00:32:40.200 So isn't that also concerning?

00:32:42.820 To have someone who, they're on

00:32:45.180 their way out, they're not even

00:32:46.340 going to be here.

00:32:47.460 They're not going to, whatever

00:32:48.180 decisions they make, they're not

00:32:49.520 even going to be here to

00:32:50.580 experience the consequences of

00:32:52.180 it.

00:32:53.740 Are we comfortable with that?

00:32:56.160 No, I'm not.

00:32:56.840 All right.

00:32:59.260 I wanted to, let's see, I want

00:33:01.100 to mention this also.

00:33:02.380 This is a story.

00:33:03.440 So I would read some of the

00:33:05.780 story and you're going to think

00:33:06.840 that I'm going a certain

00:33:07.420 direction with it.

00:33:08.520 But I'm not.

00:33:10.120 I will surprise you slightly.

00:33:12.320 Daily Mail.

00:33:13.120 Police have pictured a Texas man

00:33:15.100 arrested after his crazed pit

00:33:17.140 bulls mauled an elderly man to

00:33:18.760 death and badly injured the

00:33:20.100 victim's wife.

00:33:21.620 Christian Alexander Marino, 31,

00:33:24.540 was charged with attack by

00:33:25.660 a dangerous dog causing death

00:33:27.180 and injury to an elderly

00:33:27.940 person, both felonies, according

00:33:29.720 to a press release by the San

00:33:30.820 Antonio Police Department.

00:33:32.260 He was pictured being perp

00:33:33.300 walked from his home after

00:33:34.240 Friday's horrific mauling,

00:33:35.940 which was captured on video.

00:33:37.440 The victim has been named as

00:33:38.360 81-year-old Ramon Naharas.

00:33:41.420 The attack occurred along the

00:33:42.680 2800 block of Deppler Street on

00:33:44.560 the city's west side where

00:33:45.700 Naharas and his wife, 74, were

00:33:47.020 visiting friends.

00:33:47.620 When they got out of their car,

00:33:49.260 the couple were set upon by the

00:33:51.900 two American Staffordshire

00:33:52.960 Terriers who had escaped their

00:33:55.240 yard.

00:33:55.980 So this, I guess that would be a, 0.55

00:33:57.200 this is a bully breed of dog.

00:34:00.240 It's a bully breed, but not a 0.69

00:34:01.580 pit bull, right?

00:34:02.280 I think.

00:34:04.120 Neither victim has been named

00:34:05.640 with the surviving woman said to 0.88

00:34:07.500 be receiving critical care.

00:34:08.760 Now, the San Antonio Fire

00:34:11.260 Department, they arrived on the

00:34:12.340 scene and there's video.

00:34:15.060 So there's video of the actual

00:34:17.260 attack of this elderly man being,

00:34:21.120 I mean, I hate to put it this way,

00:34:22.140 but being eaten by these dogs.

00:34:23.840 And the video is, I, I happen to

00:34:26.520 see this video very much not

00:34:27.740 wanting to see it, but it's one

00:34:28.920 of those things scrolling on

00:34:29.780 social media and boom, it pops

00:34:31.520 up and there it is.

00:34:34.680 So there's video of the attack and

00:34:36.460 then the video continues and we see

00:34:38.940 the police, the fire department

00:34:40.160 show up and they're kind of like

00:34:42.220 fending off the dog.

00:34:43.380 They have their, their pickaxes and

00:34:44.860 they're fending off the dogs.

00:34:46.160 This goes on for a while and the

00:34:48.300 police show up and then some

00:34:50.360 animal, you know, the, the people

00:34:54.100 that deal with animals, animal care

00:34:56.740 services came and they took the

00:34:59.040 dogs and then brought them

00:35:00.420 somewhere else.

00:35:01.140 And then they were, we were told

00:35:02.480 we were assured, humanely

00:35:04.180 euthanized.

00:35:06.280 That's already a sad statement about

00:35:07.960 society when nobody, including the

00:35:10.140 cops, when no one shows up and just 1.00

00:35:12.620 shoots these damn things. 0.99

00:35:14.740 And even when the animal care 1.00

00:35:16.300 services come, oh, we got to make

00:35:17.880 sure we humanely euthanize.

00:35:19.880 They just mauled an elderly man to

00:35:21.780 death.

00:35:22.180 He is dead on the sidewalk in the

00:35:24.120 middle of an American town.

00:35:25.640 Like this is some kind of third

00:35:27.000 world country.

00:35:28.260 This is not, we are not a third

00:35:29.800 world country.

00:35:30.340 And so we should not have animal

00:35:32.280 maulings should not be a thing that

00:35:34.660 you have to worry about in a modern

00:35:36.840 American town.

00:35:39.300 But you do.

00:35:40.860 Because people bring these dogs into

00:35:42.040 the, into the neighborhood.

00:35:42.860 Nobody shoots the dogs, even though

00:35:44.740 they make sure they, well, we're

00:35:46.000 going to take the dogs.

00:35:46.820 And then, and then, and then they

00:35:47.940 were euthanized. 0.87

00:35:49.320 Just shot the police. 1.00

00:35:50.920 Just shoot them, shoot them right 1.00

00:35:52.540 there on the spot. 1.00

00:35:54.540 And no one comes out of the house

00:35:55.960 with a gun and just shoots the

00:35:56.940 animals. 1.00

00:35:59.340 But that's my point.

00:36:03.440 So you know how I feel about pit

00:36:04.580 bulls and any, any of the bully

00:36:06.340 breeds of dogs.

00:36:07.740 I think that they should all be

00:36:08.780 banned and they shouldn't be allowed 1.00

00:36:09.620 in neighborhoods.

00:36:10.520 To me, that's incredibly obvious.

00:36:13.280 So I'm not going to harp on that

00:36:14.520 because you know how I feel about it.

00:36:16.640 What I was, the thing that I kind

00:36:19.540 of focused on when I saw the video

00:36:21.080 is that there's a video of it.

00:36:23.340 And I know that we're used to this

00:36:24.380 by now.

00:36:25.000 It's barely even, we just take it for

00:36:26.300 granted.

00:36:27.240 Anytime anything horrible happens, we

00:36:28.700 see it on video.

00:36:29.380 And so we all then also witness it.

00:36:33.880 But this mauling, I mean, it goes on

00:36:36.080 for a while.

00:36:37.060 And this elderly man, it's, I cannot 1.00

00:36:39.040 think of a worse way to die.

00:36:41.440 And, and he is mauled to death by 0.72

00:36:43.280 these dogs.

00:36:43.800 I'm not going to, obviously I'm not

00:36:44.360 going to play the video.

00:36:44.980 And, and there's apparently someone in

00:36:49.380 it, they look like they're in a car and

00:36:51.260 they're just filming it the entire, they

00:36:52.620 sit there filming it for like minutes

00:36:54.840 while this man is killed.

00:36:56.120 Nobody, you can hear some people shouting

00:37:00.260 at the dogs.

00:37:01.540 No one attempts to intervene.

00:37:02.760 Nobody.

00:37:03.420 This is a neighborhood.

00:37:04.160 There are people all around.

00:37:05.020 They're in the houses.

00:37:05.840 No one does anything to help this man.

00:37:08.680 Instead, they film it.

00:37:11.240 Now, you can make an argument for filming,

00:37:14.800 maybe, you can make an argument for filming

00:37:16.560 horrific events when it's a, when a person

00:37:19.760 is committing a crime.

00:37:21.220 And then you could argue, well, I wanted

00:37:22.480 to film it so that we could capture this

00:37:23.720 person after the fact and all, we have

00:37:25.160 the evidence.

00:37:25.580 Okay.

00:37:26.740 But even in that case, your first priority

00:37:29.580 and your first responsibility as a human

00:37:31.460 being is to help someone if you can.

00:37:34.060 Not to think about, well, you know, after

00:37:36.560 this person is murdered, then we'll have

00:37:38.780 video of it at least.

00:37:41.900 But at least, yeah, the video comes in

00:37:43.300 handy there.

00:37:43.860 In this case, what, what do you need the

00:37:45.260 video for at all?

00:37:46.020 Why does this video need to exist?

00:37:47.820 I mean, I'm not being glib about it, but

00:37:49.920 it's, you know, there's not going to be

00:37:51.760 any question about what happened to this

00:37:53.180 man.

00:37:53.420 We don't need to check the video to see

00:37:55.620 that he was mauled to death by dogs.

00:37:57.020 It's incredibly obvious to everyone.

00:37:58.740 So you don't need that.

00:37:59.700 What do you need the video for?

00:38:00.640 Why does this have to be on video?

00:38:01.760 And then why does it have to be on social

00:38:03.060 media?

00:38:03.380 I just can't imagine you, you're what you 0.80

00:38:07.740 see an elderly man being mauled to death and

00:38:09.580 your reaction is to pull out of, to get it

00:38:11.980 on video for what?

00:38:16.980 Now we can talk about the laws against

00:38:18.480 pit bulls, which I, of which I think there

00:38:20.360 should be, but we need to start passing laws

00:38:24.140 and enforcing laws that are already in the

00:38:25.440 books to hold people accountable when they

00:38:28.600 are bystanders and make no attempt.

00:38:32.220 You know, a bystander is just sitting there

00:38:34.040 filming while someone is being beaten,

00:38:38.660 murdered.

00:38:39.220 Like we need to start holding people 0.74

00:38:40.480 accountable for that.

00:38:42.680 This, this is not, it's just, it's not,

00:38:45.800 it's, it's subhuman behavior is what we're

00:38:48.580 all becoming.

00:38:49.200 We're so, I think we're so desensitized to

00:38:51.400 everything because we see all this stuff on

00:38:53.300 social media.

00:38:53.840 And it's like the, when you, when you

00:38:56.060 encounter in real life, you immediately pull

00:38:58.540 your phone out and then start experiencing

00:39:00.320 this real thing through your phone as if

00:39:03.280 you're kind of removed from it, but you're

00:39:04.760 not, you're right there.

00:39:05.920 You're a person, that's a person, they need

00:39:08.180 your help, help them.

00:39:10.740 I know we can only go so far in blaming

00:39:13.240 people for not acting heroically.

00:39:15.300 There's a reason why we call it heroism is

00:39:17.800 that it's, it's above and beyond what you

00:39:19.460 would normally expect.

00:39:20.280 And so if we start expecting everyone to be

00:39:21.820 heroes, then we're not really, it's not

00:39:23.540 heroism anymore if it's expected.

00:39:27.280 And so I understand.

00:39:28.060 So there's a certain line there, you know,

00:39:29.600 nobody knows what they would do in a

00:39:30.700 certain situation.

00:39:31.360 Like, are you going to put yourself in

00:39:32.600 harm's way to help a stranger?

00:39:34.000 Hopefully you would, but that does require

00:39:36.060 heroism.

00:39:37.060 Maybe you start, you know, and then you

00:39:38.140 start thinking about your own family and

00:39:39.400 your kids, you want to make it back to

00:39:40.320 them.

00:39:40.540 And I understand you think about all those

00:39:41.780 things, but, um, so maybe we don't

00:39:46.640 expect bystanders to be superheroes, but we

00:39:48.760 do have to expect them to be human beings.

00:39:51.400 And I just find it hard to believe nobody

00:39:53.140 could do anything to try to help.

00:39:55.080 Like just throw, I don't know, get some

00:39:56.780 bricks, get rocks, like throw stuff at

00:39:58.500 this, the dogs, do something, get a base.

00:40:00.600 No one has a baseball bat.

00:40:01.540 No one has anything.

00:40:03.240 No one, no one has a gun.

00:40:06.260 Maybe not, but I mean, this is Texas.

00:40:08.940 No one has a gun.

00:40:09.520 Really?

00:40:12.260 No one has a crowbar.

00:40:13.440 No one has anything.

00:40:14.140 All right.

00:40:18.160 Finally, here's something else from YAF.

00:40:20.400 They, uh, they tweeted during University of

00:40:22.760 Michigan inclusive leadership workshop, Dr.

00:40:25.200 Rushing, Dr.

00:40:26.440 Rushing struggles with responding to Matt

00:40:28.120 Walsh's, what is a woman question?

00:40:30.240 Um, so this is some sort of, it's some sort

00:40:31.960 of workshop at a university, University of

00:40:33.860 Michigan, and they're trying to deal with

00:40:35.560 this question.

00:40:36.180 And I always enjoy these videos when we find

00:40:38.760 them.

00:40:38.900 So here it is.

00:40:40.940 If you're looking at the comment that they

00:40:42.140 shared was, um, I was just sharing in my

00:40:44.540 group, how one of my coworkers challenged my

00:40:46.500 identity using the trick question of what is

00:40:49.800 a woman we had for, and they unfortunately did

00:40:52.600 not have a chance to, you know, debrief with

00:40:54.800 their group.

00:40:55.260 So I don't know if anyone has a way to respond

00:40:57.660 to like, shut that down in the moment.

00:41:00.900 Um, like what, how can we be the bystander in

00:41:03.800 that moment?

00:41:04.400 Um, how can we interrupt the harm in action?

00:41:07.900 Um, sorry, I'm, yeah, just this idea.

00:41:13.440 So like asking someone like, well, what is

00:41:16.720 a woman, which is just gender is already a 1.00

00:41:19.560 social construct.

00:41:20.220 So they even ask that question to show that

00:41:22.100 this person doesn't understand the idea of

00:41:23.840 like what gender is. 0.96

00:41:26.160 Um, so many, so many things that we consider

00:41:28.640 as truth.

00:41:30.940 It's just how, that's just what the systems

00:41:34.000 tell us.

00:41:34.440 Right.

00:41:35.280 Um, now that I've had a chance to calm down a

00:41:37.760 little bit, um, my first instinct would be

00:41:42.260 if you have the energy.

00:41:43.760 And again, sometimes the best thing to do

00:41:45.480 is just be like, I'm not engaging with you

00:41:47.180 and just walk away.

00:41:48.300 Rose, I am so sorry.

00:41:49.500 You had to deal with that.

00:41:50.880 Um, okay.

00:41:55.700 I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna go off right

00:41:57.360 now.

00:41:59.260 That's okay.

00:41:59.720 It never gets old.

00:42:00.340 It never gets old for me.

00:42:01.320 Anyway, it really never gets old.

00:42:02.880 Um, and they, uh, it's a trick question,

00:42:05.400 right?

00:42:05.700 What is a woman? 1.00

00:42:06.300 Well, what do you do with this trick

00:42:07.080 question?

00:42:07.840 It is, I cannot think of a question

00:42:10.000 that is less of a trick question than what

00:42:13.980 is a woman or really anytime, anytime you

00:42:16.480 use a word and someone says, what does that

00:42:19.560 word mean?

00:42:20.920 That is, there's no trick.

00:42:24.280 It is, we want to know what you mean by the

00:42:28.160 words that you're using.

00:42:29.180 What are you trying to communicate?

00:42:31.240 You might not be able to answer it.

00:42:32.820 It doesn't make it a trick question.

00:42:35.720 Um, but you notice it, it, even when they're

00:42:40.000 talking amongst themselves, uh, they still,

00:42:42.800 they still struggle with this question

00:42:43.940 because they can't answer it for all the

00:42:46.480 reasons that we've covered extensively.

00:42:49.100 Um, but you see how, you see why they're so

00:42:53.180 afraid to face someone who is not in their

00:42:55.600 club with a question like this, because

00:42:58.100 amongst themselves, at least, well, they're

00:43:00.180 all on the same side.

00:43:00.840 They're all in the same tribe and no one is, 0.97

00:43:03.440 they all have the same agenda.

00:43:04.760 No one's actually interested in the truth.

00:43:06.360 They all understand that the idea is to

00:43:07.600 avoid objective reality, objective truth.

00:43:10.820 And they'll also take, you know, if when

00:43:13.280 they're talking amongst each other, they'll

00:43:15.180 give each other the out.

00:43:17.240 And so there, there are just like talking

00:43:19.300 points or little slogans they'll throw

00:43:20.960 out something like somebody, someone

00:43:23.400 brings up, what is a woman? 1.00

00:43:25.200 They talk around it for a bit.

00:43:26.720 Well, you know, it's a trick question.

00:43:30.220 Gender's a social construct. 0.98

00:43:31.440 And they throw out that, that slogan.

00:43:33.100 And then the other people will say that

00:43:35.200 are in the tribe.

00:43:36.040 Oh yeah, sure.

00:43:36.620 Okay.

00:43:38.500 But if they're talking to someone who's not

00:43:40.280 in the tribe, well, we're not going to

00:43:42.160 give you that out.

00:43:43.980 It's not going to be that easy.

00:43:45.140 You can't just throw out a slogan and

00:43:47.000 have us say, oh, well, all right.

00:43:51.000 Because then you throw out the slogan,

00:43:52.140 we're going to want to know what you

00:43:53.000 mean by that slogan.

00:43:55.180 Gender's a social construct, so it's a, 0.99

00:43:56.860 what is, so it's an invalid question.

00:43:59.520 Because what, because the word woman

00:44:01.240 doesn't mean anything you're saying?

00:44:02.300 It's just like, it's a constructed thing

00:44:03.420 doesn't mean anything?

00:44:05.760 Well, so then why is anyone identifying

00:44:07.780 as it, and why should I respect it at all?

00:44:12.220 And it still doesn't answer the question

00:44:13.380 of, like, what that person means

00:44:14.700 when they say it.

00:44:17.480 So, keep trying, folks.

00:44:19.100 You're not there yet.

00:44:19.900 You'll get there.

00:44:20.300 Well, you'll never get there, but keep

00:44:21.420 trying, because it's funny.

00:44:23.080 Let's get to the comments section.

00:44:23.860 Do you know their name?

00:45:19.460 Fisher Gaming says the fastest

00:45:21.180 cancellation was of Alex Jones.

00:45:23.340 He was right about everything, too, even

00:45:24.740 the liars who are now suing him for his

00:45:26.800 cat. 0.72

00:45:29.300 Yes, literally, they want his cat in addition

00:45:32.240 to the trillion with a T dollars they want

00:45:34.400 from him because he said a mean thing.

00:45:36.600 Really?

00:45:37.920 I'm out of the loop on that one.

00:45:39.380 They want, they're trying to sue him to

00:45:40.600 take his cat away from him?

00:45:44.220 I mean, if I was suing someone, the last

00:45:45.700 thing I would want is their cat, that's 0.98

00:45:47.600 for sure.

00:45:48.680 But, yeah, well, I think Alex Jones, I

00:45:51.400 mean, obviously an example of someone who's

00:45:52.780 been canceled in the platform, like from

00:45:54.340 almost every platform.

00:45:56.720 The fastest, I don't know, because this

00:45:59.260 was like, this is a campaign that was

00:46:00.720 ongoing against Alex Jones for many

00:46:03.220 years, and then it kind of kicked into

00:46:05.740 high gear, seemingly all of a sudden, but

00:46:08.580 it wasn't really all of a sudden.

00:46:09.700 This is an ongoing campaign.

00:46:11.520 The thing that separates the Scott Adams

00:46:12.980 thing is that he was, I guess, on the

00:46:17.920 left, they had long considered him to be,

00:46:20.140 you know, far right or something because

00:46:21.500 he had shared opinions that were deemed

00:46:23.300 conservative, although I don't even think

00:46:25.560 he really is conservative.

00:46:26.340 I don't think he would call himself that.

00:46:27.440 But even in spite of that, he was kind

00:46:31.260 of just doing his thing, and then all at

00:46:34.600 once, he's, everything is taken, you

00:46:37.400 know, within like 24 hours.

00:46:42.220 And this, but this is also how the

00:46:43.500 cancellations work now.

00:46:44.760 I mean, they're always, you can't really

00:46:45.660 measure which one's the fastest.

00:46:46.860 This is, this is just how it goes.

00:46:48.560 Once the, once the, the, the snowball

00:46:51.140 starts rolling down the hill, you've got

00:46:53.200 an avalanche.

00:46:53.740 Uh, Ari says, Matt, I hope you read

00:46:57.880 this comment.

00:46:58.440 I need to tell you, I actually jumped

00:46:59.720 for joy when you announced the return

00:47:01.300 of the flannels.

00:47:02.100 I hugged my family, started crying,

00:47:03.660 tears of happiness.

00:47:04.740 I'd already replaced every shirt in my

00:47:06.020 wardrobe with plaid shirts.

00:47:07.560 I'll always be rocking polka dot or

00:47:09.580 flannel shirts in your honor.

00:47:10.860 Thank you for saving my life.

00:47:13.620 You know, so many responses just like

00:47:16.100 that.

00:47:16.360 People are, um, I think, I think, I think

00:47:20.020 everyone feels it.

00:47:20.780 I think everyone feels, even people

00:47:22.420 who don't watch the show, uh, they

00:47:24.560 still feel that something has been

00:47:26.680 set right.

00:47:27.520 There's a balance that's been restored

00:47:29.080 to the universe and it's, uh, it's

00:47:31.620 an almost indescribable, unquantifiable

00:47:34.060 thing, but we all, right, we can all

00:47:36.260 sense it.

00:47:38.920 Um, tie my shoe says now that, now

00:47:42.200 that Matt's crew relented, we should

00:47:43.600 demand suit Friday.

00:47:45.900 The legs of Rook says now that flannel

00:47:47.940 Friday is gone, it could be replaced

00:47:49.100 with formal Friday.

00:47:50.000 Well, at least you got the alliteration

00:47:51.000 where Matt wears the suit again.

00:47:53.060 Uh, no, no, cause we're not, we're

00:47:54.920 done, we're done with that.

00:47:55.620 We're not playing, we're not playing

00:47:56.560 games with the wardrobe anymore or

00:47:59.740 with your heart, says the audience.

00:48:02.920 To quote, uh, is that Backstreet Boys

00:48:06.220 are in sync?

00:48:07.220 Um, friendly neighborhood Snyder man

00:48:09.960 says Matt needs to replace the bleep

00:48:11.660 noise with a cuckoo clock sound

00:48:13.400 effect.

00:48:14.860 I don't know about that.

00:48:15.660 Let's try that out.

00:48:16.320 I'll give our editor something to do.

00:48:17.260 Uh, okay.

00:48:18.780 You, we'll see what that sounds

00:48:20.760 like.

00:48:22.060 Steve says, yes, Governor DeSantis

00:48:24.000 has great ideas and can well

00:48:25.440 communicate them and he'll make a

00:48:26.660 great vice president under President

00:48:27.980 Trump.

00:48:28.400 Look, let's, I don't know what's

00:48:32.660 going to happen in 2024.

00:48:34.160 That's not going to happen.

00:48:35.580 Um, and I know that there are some

00:48:36.620 people that they like Trump and they

00:48:37.860 like DeSantis and they're trying to

00:48:38.980 figure out a way to, to make it all

00:48:40.940 work.

00:48:41.380 And so this is the idea that I hear

00:48:43.300 mentioned all the time that, well,

00:48:45.360 DeSantis will be on Trump's ticket.

00:48:47.700 Never going to happen.

00:48:48.720 Just simply not going to happen.

00:48:50.900 Um, Trump would never want that

00:48:53.440 because he's not going to want someone

00:48:54.840 on the ticket who, who he would worry

00:48:56.860 might over, you know, overshadow him.

00:48:59.600 Um, he also does, he doesn't, Trump

00:49:01.000 doesn't want to feel like people are

00:49:02.560 voting for the ticket.

00:49:03.380 At least some people, because they

00:49:04.880 want the guy at the bottom of the 0.87

00:49:06.020 ticket rather than him.

00:49:07.380 So Trump would never want that.

00:49:09.000 And I don't think DeSantis would want

00:49:10.320 either as maybe a really bad move on

00:49:12.180 DeSantis's part, um, for a lot of

00:49:16.440 reasons.

00:49:17.980 And one is that just in general, you

00:49:19.800 become vice president, you are, you

00:49:21.340 are hitching yourself to a wagon that

00:49:23.460 you're not in control over.

00:49:25.280 And, uh, and that, you know, you're

00:49:27.880 the rest of your political career is

00:49:29.100 going to, going to depend on that, even

00:49:31.140 though you really don't have any power,

00:49:32.820 you don't do anything as vice

00:49:33.920 president.

00:49:34.520 It doesn't seem like the smartest, uh,

00:49:36.480 political move.

00:49:37.180 And then also politics is all about

00:49:40.480 timing.

00:49:41.040 So I don't, I still don't, I don't know

00:49:42.140 who's going to be, who's going to get

00:49:43.880 the nomination.

00:49:44.580 It might be neither of those guys.

00:49:45.840 That's possible.

00:49:47.120 Maybe somebody else will come along

00:49:48.300 that we're not thinking about, but I

00:49:50.560 don't know who it's going to be.

00:49:52.020 I do know though, that politics is all

00:49:54.000 about timing.

00:49:54.540 And this is Ron DeSantis's time.

00:49:57.300 Doesn't mean he's going to win the

00:49:59.480 primary or the general election, but if

00:50:01.880 he is going to win it, this is the time

00:50:03.580 when he's going to win it.

00:50:04.240 The time is now.

00:50:05.840 2028 is a million years away.

00:50:07.820 It might as well be a million years

00:50:08.960 right now.

00:50:10.900 He's at front.

00:50:11.740 He's at the lead.

00:50:12.540 He's in the conversation.

00:50:13.560 He's driving the conversation, all

00:50:14.660 these things, uh, 2028.

00:50:16.460 He'll have, by then he'll have been

00:50:17.980 out of the governor's, uh, mansion

00:50:19.460 for a couple of years.

00:50:20.300 And, and who knows what it will not

00:50:24.060 be like it is now.

00:50:25.060 And you got to take advantage of the

00:50:26.620 timing when it comes.

00:50:28.420 Standing at six foot, four inches,

00:50:30.240 Abraham Lincoln was our tallest

00:50:31.540 president already towering over the

00:50:33.180 men of his era.

00:50:33.820 A young girl once asked Lincoln why

00:50:35.720 he always wore such a tall stovetop

00:50:37.820 hat that made him look even taller.

00:50:39.840 Honest Abe looked down at her, removed

00:50:41.700 his hat, showing her inside of the hat

00:50:44.760 and said, to better store all my great

00:50:47.420 Jeremy's razors.

00:50:48.460 That is a 100% true historical fact.

00:50:50.560 It was an important moment in history.

00:50:52.240 The left wants you to forget and

00:50:53.680 probably why they keep devaluing all

00:50:55.840 our currency with Lincoln's face on it.

00:50:57.500 But while the left cancels history,

00:50:59.300 Jeremy's razors celebrates that history.

00:51:01.320 That's why we're still offering 30% off

00:51:03.120 any razor during our president's day sale.

00:51:05.240 But act fast because the sale ends

00:51:07.140 tonight.

00:51:07.480 You can get the glorious smooth six

00:51:09.000 razor for a close comfortable shave that

00:51:10.920 cuts hair below the surface, which is

00:51:12.740 especially useful for prolonging that

00:51:14.700 Lincoln inspired mustache, mustacheless

00:51:29.360 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:51:35.300 Today the media is running with a poll

00:51:37.140 which is supposed to show that women 1.00

00:51:39.360 are oppressed in the workplace.

00:51:41.240 But instead it manages to prove

00:51:42.760 something else.

00:51:44.140 CNBC reports,

00:51:45.460 there's a major confidence gap between

00:51:46.920 men and women in the workplace, though

00:51:48.220 it might not be in the way that you'd

00:51:49.440 expect.

00:51:49.840 A majority, 64% of women, think that

00:51:51.740 they can do their manager's job better

00:51:53.640 than them versus 47% of men who

00:51:56.020 believe the same.

00:51:56.580 According to a monster survey of 6,847

00:51:59.280 workers conducted on February, that

00:52:02.080 perspective doesn't necessarily reflect

00:52:03.400 that women feel proficient in their

00:52:04.560 jobs, but rather they feel undervalued

00:52:06.280 and overlooked for management roles.

00:52:08.680 According to monster career expert

00:52:10.300 Vicky Salemi, tells CNBC,

00:52:15.700 quote, women feel they can do their 1.00

00:52:17.420 manager's job, she says, but the

00:52:19.540 frustration is, why aren't they given

00:52:21.760 the opportunity to do it?

00:52:23.100 Um, why aren't you given the

00:52:26.220 opportunity to do your manager's job?

00:52:27.820 Well, because your manager is doing

00:52:29.340 it.

00:52:30.220 That might be the reason.

00:52:32.000 Do you think your manager should just

00:52:32.960 be fired on the spot so they can try

00:52:34.860 you out for the role?

00:52:35.800 And even if they do, even if they fire

00:52:37.400 your manager and replace him with a

00:52:39.120 woman, why should you, why should you 1.00

00:52:41.960 specifically be the woman who takes

00:52:43.540 his place?

00:52:44.980 Would you be satisfied if another woman 0.98

00:52:46.900 was promoted and not you?

00:52:49.140 See, actually, it's a statistical

00:52:50.240 certainty that many of the women who

00:52:51.780 said they could do their manager's

00:52:52.840 job better.

00:52:54.400 Many of them have managers who are

00:52:56.700 women. 0.81

00:52:57.560 So if a woman is promoted over a 1.00

00:52:59.540 woman, that's an example of sexism 1.00

00:53:01.700 against women. 0.76

00:53:02.280 How does this work exactly?

00:53:03.980 See, this is one of the many

00:53:04.820 fundamental problems with the claims

00:53:06.460 of sexism and oppression against

00:53:07.740 women in the workplace. 0.94

00:53:09.280 The women who are inclined to make 1.00

00:53:10.980 these kinds of complaints will still

00:53:12.960 make them even if their management

00:53:14.680 team is already dominated by women, 1.00

00:53:16.760 as it is in many companies.

00:53:18.960 Have you ever known a feminist to 0.99

00:53:20.400 say, well, I didn't get this

00:53:21.900 opportunity, but another woman did, 0.99

00:53:23.340 and so I'm happy.

00:53:24.060 This is a win for the sisterhood.

00:53:26.020 They might claim to have that

00:53:27.220 attitude, but none of us have ever

00:53:28.820 encountered it in real life.

00:53:31.220 I certainly haven't.

00:53:33.040 So often, when a member of an

00:53:34.520 allegedly marginalized group

00:53:35.620 complains about discrimination,

00:53:37.660 they're really complaining about how

00:53:38.820 they personally have been treated

00:53:41.260 or how they perceive themselves to

00:53:42.700 have been treated.

00:53:43.960 It is a selfish complaint disguised as

00:53:46.760 concern for the group.

00:53:47.940 But then you quickly discover that

00:53:49.840 this person will take no comfort in

00:53:51.520 finding out that other people in the

00:53:53.060 group aren't having those

00:53:54.400 experiences.

00:53:55.280 So when they say, don't treat us this

00:53:57.160 way, what they really mean is, don't

00:53:59.540 treat me this way.

00:54:01.980 And that might seem like an obvious

00:54:03.200 thing to point out, but it's an

00:54:05.080 important distinction because it's a

00:54:06.140 very different sort of complaint.

00:54:08.700 Whether it's true or not that they're

00:54:10.000 being mistreated, and often it's not

00:54:11.900 true, but whether it's true or not,

00:54:13.280 still it's worth noting the nature of

00:54:15.140 the complaint, which is usually

00:54:16.200 personal and self-centered.

00:54:19.080 Bringing it back to women in the 1.00

00:54:20.040 workplace, the fact is that women are 1.00

00:54:21.660 being promoted, women are getting 1.00

00:54:22.880 opportunities, and if anything, in big

00:54:24.600 corporations at least, they're getting

00:54:25.780 more opportunities than men.

00:54:27.240 These companies are actively looking

00:54:28.500 to staff their management teams with

00:54:30.080 anyone other than white males.

00:54:31.700 They have a vested interest in doing

00:54:33.260 that.

00:54:34.660 But the women who still complain about 1.00

00:54:35.860 a sexist conspiracy to rob them of

00:54:37.920 opportunities, they aren't likely to

00:54:39.680 take any solace in the fact that other

00:54:41.640 women are in fact getting promoted. 1.00

00:54:43.340 That's because, again, the women who 1.00

00:54:44.680 say, you're being unfair to women, the 1.00

00:54:48.020 woman who says that is often really

00:54:49.060 saying, you're being unfair to me.

00:54:51.620 She doesn't really care about women in 0.99

00:54:53.000 general, she cares about herself, which

00:54:54.360 is fine, y'all gotta look out for

00:54:55.780 number one, but at least be honest

00:54:57.440 about it.

00:54:58.360 This is perfectly evidenced by the

00:54:59.800 career expert Vicky in the CNBC

00:55:01.700 article saying that women aren't 1.00

00:55:04.800 getting the chance to do their

00:55:05.860 managers' jobs regardless of the fact

00:55:08.520 that many of these women have managers 0.97

00:55:10.220 who are women.

00:55:12.140 It turns out that, you know, the women 1.00

00:55:13.800 making the complaint don't want a

00:55:15.840 woman to be manager, they want 1.00

00:55:17.740 themselves personally to be manager,

00:55:20.600 which again is different.

00:55:24.240 Back to the article.

00:55:25.980 Women are far less likely to say that

00:55:27.540 they feel they get the same quantity

00:55:29.160 and quality of opportunities as men in

00:55:30.760 the workplace.

00:55:31.280 66% of men believe everyone at work

00:55:33.500 gets the same access to opportunities

00:55:34.880 versus just 23% of women, according to 0.92

00:55:37.060 Monster.

00:55:37.360 The opportunities gap has a

00:55:39.060 compounding effect among women at 0.98

00:55:41.240 levels, at all levels in the

00:55:42.440 workplace.

00:55:42.920 Women say that having a clear vision 1.00

00:55:44.820 for the future of their career is a

00:55:46.060 top priority for them and a lack of

00:55:47.680 potential advancement is the biggest

00:55:48.980 red flag that would lead them to turn

00:55:50.380 down a job offer.

00:55:52.380 So, the poll finds that a majority of

00:55:54.880 women complain that the company they 1.00

00:55:57.620 work for is unfair and biased while

00:55:59.220 also claiming that they can do jobs

00:56:00.980 that they have not been judged

00:56:02.060 qualified for.

00:56:03.720 If you were trying to come up with a

00:56:05.080 poll to convince employers to hire men

00:56:07.240 instead of women, I don't think you 1.00

00:56:08.360 could have done a better job than

00:56:09.520 this.

00:56:11.300 Though some of this poll is supposed to

00:56:12.520 motivate employers in the opposite

00:56:13.680 direction.

00:56:14.380 Like, you know, hey, women are likely 1.00

00:56:16.380 to have an inflated sense of

00:56:17.420 importance and also complain a lot.

00:56:19.020 Now hire more of them.

00:56:20.800 That seems to be the sales pitch.

00:56:22.340 And it's not my sales pitch, by the

00:56:23.980 way.

00:56:24.160 I'm not saying that.

00:56:24.900 I'm telling you that's what the

00:56:25.700 survey apparently says.

00:56:27.980 Now, to what extent it actually reflects

00:56:29.520 the opinion of the majority of women, I

00:56:31.440 don't know.

00:56:32.620 That's what the survey says.

00:56:33.340 The article ends this way.

00:56:35.960 Some 77% of men believe everyone is

00:56:37.960 paid the same.

00:56:38.860 Presumably they mean paid the same for

00:56:40.020 the same work.

00:56:40.980 Versus 24% of women.

00:56:43.020 Concerning, given that women say fair 0.96

00:56:45.320 and equal wages is the number one most

00:56:47.060 important benefit to them in the

00:56:48.300 workplace.

00:56:49.220 The gender wage gap, which has persisted

00:56:51.160 for decades, now sits at the average

00:56:52.640 woman being paid 82 cents for every 1.00

00:56:54.840 dollar paid to a man, according to the

00:56:56.560 Census Bureau.

00:56:57.720 The gap widens for many women of color.

00:57:01.180 Now, of course, we couldn't conclude

00:57:02.360 this without the trusty old wage gap

00:57:04.240 myth.

00:57:05.260 If you're curious, the article supports

00:57:07.480 the women get paid 82 cents for every 1.00

00:57:09.380 dollar that a man earns claim by linking

00:57:11.340 to a fact sheet on the census.gov

00:57:13.180 website, which tells us that the median

00:57:15.920 earnings of men are about $57,000 a year.

00:57:18.980 This was back in 2019.

00:57:20.320 While the median for women is around

00:57:21.940 47,000.

00:57:23.700 These are the numbers that you get if you

00:57:26.700 take all of the men in every profession

00:57:29.060 and throw them into one pot, all of the 0.92

00:57:31.520 women in every profession, throw them 1.00

00:57:32.580 into another, and then compare the two.

00:57:35.380 But that comparison is totally

00:57:37.180 meaningless, as it obviously doesn't take

00:57:39.520 into account things like hours worked,

00:57:42.200 overtime, experience, skill, effort,

00:57:44.860 qualifications, career choice, etc.

00:57:47.260 It doesn't even bother to compare men and 0.74

00:57:48.960 women in the same industry, let alone the 1.00

00:57:50.720 same positions within those industries.

00:57:52.080 Instead, it effectively compares, you

00:57:54.820 know, male commercial airline pilots to

00:57:56.780 female hairdressers and male surgeons to 1.00

00:58:00.040 female daycare workers and so on. 1.00

00:58:02.520 It makes an even one-to-one comparison among

00:58:05.540 all these groups.

00:58:08.460 It is, in fact, a perfect example of how you

00:58:10.660 lie with statistics.

00:58:12.240 Because the figure they end up with, 82

00:58:14.060 cents on the dollar, is technically true if

00:58:17.320 you don't control for any meaningful factors

00:58:20.200 whatsoever. But they never mention that

00:58:23.060 detail when they cite the figure, which

00:58:25.200 makes it effectively a lie.

00:58:27.840 So, what is the real takeaway here?

00:58:31.200 What can we learn from the fact that,

00:58:32.900 according to the survey, a majority of

00:58:34.320 women in the workforce feel that they're 1.00

00:58:35.980 being oppressed and being treated unfairly

00:58:38.460 because of their sex?

00:58:40.260 Well, we learn just that, that it's a

00:58:42.480 feeling. This is what the oppression

00:58:44.340 narrative is ultimately grounded in. It's

00:58:45.880 something that people feel, something that

00:58:47.680 they are indeed encouraged to feel.

00:58:49.320 These are feelings instilled and fostered

00:58:51.720 in them.

00:58:53.060 The poll says that a majority of women 1.00

00:58:54.380 believe, they feel, that they aren't

00:58:56.340 getting equal opportunities.

00:58:57.820 Very much in the same way that so many

00:58:59.760 people believe, feel, you know, the wage

00:59:02.340 gap.

00:59:03.620 What we aren't supposed to ever ask is

00:59:05.380 whether these beliefs and feelings

00:59:06.640 actually reflect reality.

00:59:09.120 That's because, when we do investigate

00:59:10.680 that question, we will find out very

00:59:12.320 often and very quickly that they just

00:59:14.600 simply don't.

00:59:15.180 And that's why, not all women in the

00:59:18.060 workforce, but at least the majority who

00:59:19.660 took this poll, are today

00:59:22.260 canceled.

00:59:23.780 That'll do it for the show today.

00:59:26.340 Talk to you tomorrow.
