00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, as the debate over banning TikTok continues to rage,
00:00:03.940 Florida has quietly passed its own bill that might solve the problem, a ban on children using social media at all.
00:00:09.500 It's a law that should be in place in every state. We'll talk about it.
00:00:11.600 Also, a major disaster in Maryland has a cargo ship crashes into a bridge, sending dozens of cars careening into the river.
00:00:18.280 What happened and, more importantly, why?
00:00:20.520 Also, a horrifying story shows in disturbing detail why surrogacy should be banned.
00:00:24.580 Plus, the Attorney General of Minnesota says that car manufacturers are to blame for tempting young people with cars that are easy to steal.
00:00:32.100 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:54.580 $20 barely gets you anything these days. You can't get a burger and fries for less than that.
00:01:04.660 What about at the gas pump? You can get maybe a quarter tank of gas, but do you know what $20 will get you?
00:01:10.440 From the cell phone company I use, PureTalk, you can get unlimited talk, text, and plenty of 5G data for just $20 a month.
00:01:17.080 PureTalk gives you the same quality of service as your current cell phone provider, but for half the cost.
00:01:20.860 The average family saves almost $1,000 a year, all with no contracts and no activation fees.
00:01:25.900 You can switch to PureTalk and keep the phone and phone number you currently use,
00:01:29.300 or you can take advantage of their great deals on the latest iPhones and Androids.
00:01:33.480 Making the switch is incredibly easy.
00:01:34.900 Their U.S. customer service team can help you join PureTalk in as little as 10 minutes.
00:01:38.640 Choose to spend your hard-earned money with a wireless company that shares your values, supports our military and veterans,
00:01:43.740 creates American jobs, and refuses to advertise on fake news networks.
00:01:47.300 Stop spending ridiculous amounts on your phone plan.
00:01:49.580 Go to puretalk.com slash Walsh.
00:01:51.240 Right now, my listeners can get an additional 50% off their first month.
00:01:54.780 That's puretalk.com slash Walsh.
00:01:57.560 Legislation that would ban TikTok in the United States, unless its Chinese owner divests from the company,
00:02:02.000 is currently making its way through the Senate.
00:02:03.860 It's still not clear what's going to happen to that bill exactly.
00:02:07.080 It overwhelmingly passed in the House by hundreds of votes,
00:02:09.800 but it appears to be significantly less popular in the upper chamber.
00:02:12.460 And that's true in no small part because of the most intense lobbying campaign in recent memory is underway to kill the legislation.
00:02:20.200 A lot of very powerful and very wealthy interests don't want to see this ban pass.
00:02:24.780 And that's not to say that there aren't reasonable arguments on both sides of the issue.
00:02:28.400 On one hand, TikTok is unquestionably toxic for both kids and adults.
00:02:33.900 Pretty much, you know, everyone who uses TikTok very quickly drops several IQ points and learns how to twerk,
00:02:40.000 at least in the U.S., where the algorithm is fine-tuned for that express purpose.
00:02:44.840 It's also a spy app under the control of a hostile foreign power that's transmitting all sorts of data we don't know about.
00:02:50.800 And these are, to say the least, serious problems.
00:02:54.820 On the other hand, there are obviously legitimate concerns about empowering the U.S. government to remove entire platforms from the Internet,
00:03:00.820 even though the bill, as it's written, only applies to platforms that are controlled by foreign entities.
00:03:05.900 You do have to wonder how far that limitation can be stretched.
00:03:08.860 We all just lived through, you know, several years of hysteria about Russian control of the White House.
00:03:14.300 And every other significant new power that the government has been given to combat foreign enemies has eventually been used against the government's domestic political opponents.
00:03:22.900 We know that.
00:03:23.580 So it's hard to be reassured that, given this vast new authority to ban the most popular social media app on the planet,
00:03:30.320 that the government wouldn't at least try to ban, say, Twitter, which is far more inconvenient for them,
00:03:37.700 even though the language of the legislation would not seem to allow that.
00:03:41.960 So that's why legislation that was just signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida is so significant.
00:03:48.760 It hasn't gotten much attention, but it should, because it addresses the legitimate concerns about apps like TikTok
00:03:53.760 without granting the government any kind of sweeping new, unprecedented powers to regulate the lives of American citizens.
00:04:00.260 Instead, it regulates the behavior of children in a manner that's consistent with all sorts of other regulations that already apply to minors.
00:04:08.760 Watch.
00:04:09.020 His grandpa says Bryson's screen time is limited, and of course, he's entirely too young for social media.
00:04:16.920 But just how young is too young?
00:04:19.360 It's done.
00:04:20.040 There you go.
00:04:21.580 According to legislation signed into law this morning by Governor Ron DeSantis, the answer is 13.
00:04:27.940 House Bill 3 would require social media companies to ban accounts belonging to someone under the age of 14
00:04:35.500 to be on sites like Instagram and TikTok.
00:04:38.900 Kids older than 14 would need a parent's permission.
00:04:42.240 The bill is widely expected to face legal challenges from the tech industry.
00:04:46.220 So, generally speaking, under this bill, children under the age of 14 can't have social media accounts,
00:04:54.180 and 14 to 15-year-olds will need permission from their parents to have a social media account.
00:04:59.080 The bill is set to take effect at the beginning of next year, although, as you heard,
00:05:01.680 there are undoubtedly going to be legal challenges on First Amendment grounds.
00:05:04.920 Several months ago, a federal judge blocked a similar law in Arkansas,
00:05:07.740 which banned minors from creating social media accounts without parental consent.
00:05:11.260 But the Florida bill is meaningfully different from the legislation that was struck down in Arkansas.
00:05:16.820 And it's important to get into the specifics because, as we've learned,
00:05:19.260 the media will misrepresent the substance of every Florida bill they possibly can.
00:05:24.280 Well, they misrepresent everything all the time, but especially legislation in Florida, as we've seen,
00:05:29.500 that's when they really go to town.
00:05:30.920 So, here are the details.
00:05:33.120 The Florida bill is not a blanket ban on any particular app.
00:05:37.040 Instead, it's focused on banning apps that have particular features,
00:05:40.100 which are designed to keep children on the app at all times.
00:05:43.080 In order to fall under this ban, according to the Texas legislation,
00:05:46.340 the app must have one of the following.
00:05:49.160 And these are all the addictive features, as they call it.
00:05:52.040 One, infinite scrolling, which the bill defines as continuously loading content,
00:05:56.420 or content that loads as the user scrolls down the page without the need to open a separate page.
00:06:00.060 Two, push notifications or alerts to inform a user about specific activities or events related to the user's account.
00:06:05.960 Or three, autoplay video or video that begins to play without the user first clicking on the video
00:06:10.680 or on a play button for that video.
00:06:13.160 Now, there are a couple of other features that are singled out in the bill,
00:06:16.320 but those are the big ones.
00:06:17.620 Live streaming is also included.
00:06:19.700 Now, in other words, TikTok can create a version of its app for minors that complies with these restrictions,
00:06:25.540 and it would not be banned for minors in that case.
00:06:29.500 The point of the law isn't to ban content per se.
00:06:33.200 It's to regulate how much of it children are being exposed to.
00:06:36.720 And that's a significant distinction because there's a lot of evidence that these addictive features
00:06:40.440 harm children.
00:06:43.000 In fact, rewire their brains.
00:06:45.180 The journal World Psychiatry recently published an analysis which found that,
00:06:48.320 Now, these are the kind of notifications that are specifically banned in the Florida bill for kids,
00:07:06.480 and there's more research along those lines.
00:07:09.000 Researchers at UNC, for example, found that, quote,
00:07:11.660 checking social media repeatedly among young teens ages 12 to 13
00:07:14.660 may be associated with changes in how their brains develop over a three-year period.
00:07:19.640 In their analysis, which was published in JAMA Pediatrics,
00:07:22.100 the UNC researchers specifically determined that, quote,
00:07:24.660 the brains of adolescents who check social media often, more than 15 times per day,
00:07:28.940 became more sensitive to social feedback.
00:07:32.060 Now, there's much more research on this point, but intuitively,
00:07:35.060 and you could go look at it, I mean, there's tons of research
00:07:36.820 about how social media harms kids.
00:07:40.560 But intuitively, we all know this is true.
00:07:42.980 Like, we all know it.
00:07:44.360 And the social media companies know it too,
00:07:46.200 which is why they have these kinds of features.
00:07:47.960 Their goal is to rewire children's brains
00:07:50.060 so that they seek positive social feedback from apps
00:07:52.740 instead of from people in their day-to-day life.
00:07:56.440 And that is obviously concerning because when their brains are developing,
00:08:00.240 children are especially prone to falling into addictive behaviors
00:08:03.460 that, once learned, can affect them for the rest of their lives.
00:08:05.820 We are mentally and emotionally deforming entire generations of children
00:08:10.800 who do not know how to interact with the world
00:08:14.460 or pay attention to it unless it is filtered through a tiny screen.
00:08:19.860 And this isn't just concerning.
00:08:21.480 This is a crisis.
00:08:22.580 It is impacting the future of our civilization.
00:08:24.880 If we could look into a crystal ball
00:08:27.120 and see what the world will look like 100 years from now because of this,
00:08:31.820 it would probably terrify us so much that we would call for the ban
00:08:35.520 of every social media company and every smartphone in existence.
00:08:39.660 I mean, that's how bad it's going to get.
00:08:40.880 And I'm not saying we should ban all those things.
00:08:42.600 I'm simply saying that horrors beyond our comprehension await us
00:08:46.440 as we condition billions of people to be totally dependent,
00:08:50.800 physically, mentally, emotionally, on a little screen.
00:08:53.900 And this is why we need to protect children in particular.
00:08:57.820 We already protect them from all kinds of other things
00:09:00.440 that we have judged to be toxic or inappropriate for them.
00:09:03.940 We don't allow children to say, you know, to say gamble or smoke or drink alcohol.
00:09:09.920 We also already regulate how companies can engage with children on the Internet.
00:09:14.120 There's something called the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, for example.
00:09:17.320 And among other things, that law requires that websites get parental consent
00:09:21.200 before they allow children to post photos, videos, or audio recordings of themselves
00:09:24.900 or any other, you know, identifying personal information.
00:09:28.280 This law is the reason why major social media platforms,
00:09:30.920 including Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook,
00:09:33.020 already prohibit children under the age of 13 from using their platforms.
00:09:37.280 So what Florida's law does is slightly expand limitations like this
00:09:42.000 to social media platforms that are targeting young children.
00:09:45.340 Now, in response to the Florida law,
00:09:47.480 one of the most common counter-arguments you'll hear
00:09:49.020 is that children will just circumvent the ban
00:09:50.740 as they've already circumvented the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.
00:09:54.820 All kids have to do is provide a fake birth date
00:09:56.960 and they can make an Instagram account.
00:09:58.620 But all this tells us is that the feds aren't concerned with enforcing that law
00:10:02.740 or many other laws.
00:10:05.040 Florida is taking a different approach.
00:10:06.460 And we've already seen that when states actually want to enforce these laws,
00:10:09.940 they can get results.
00:10:12.000 Many of the laws that we call unenforceable,
00:10:14.160 it's because there's no real attempt to enforce them.
00:10:16.900 But when there is an attempt, you know, it's amazing.
00:10:20.200 How many laws can be enforced if you actually try to enforce them?
00:10:24.300 And we saw that after various states passed laws requiring pornography websites
00:10:27.700 to verify that their users aren't minors.
00:10:30.840 You know, some users found a way around the ban
00:10:32.480 by rooting their web traffic to other states using a VPN service.
00:10:35.800 Still, these services cost money on a monthly basis.
00:10:38.980 They're not the easiest thing for a 13-year-old to sign up for,
00:10:41.460 at least not in most situations.
00:10:44.040 And that's why traffic to these pornography websites went down significantly,
00:10:48.300 even though it was technically possible to break the law
00:10:50.660 and circumvent the restriction, just like it's possible technically to break any law,
00:10:53.880 which is not an argument against making laws.
00:10:56.980 The other common counter-argument you'll hear is that parents
00:10:59.420 should be in charge of policing this sort of thing, not the government.
00:11:02.600 And indeed, that's one of the major arguments that came up in Florida.
00:11:05.560 It's why DeSantis vetoed another version of legislation,
00:11:07.740 which would have prevented 14-year-olds from accessing these apps,
00:11:11.040 even with parental consent.
00:11:12.940 So the final bill was kind of a compromise position,
00:11:14.900 which addressed the concerns of the parental rights dissenters.
00:11:17.520 But the truth is that although parents should be the ones
00:11:21.720 policing their children's social media use,
00:11:23.920 many parents don't.
00:11:26.100 Or many parents try, and they're not able to do it sufficiently.
00:11:29.840 Because it's also very, very hard for parents to do that and to police that.
00:11:35.900 It's also true that parents should stop their kids from drinking alcohol
00:11:39.040 or using tobacco products, but they don't always do that either.
00:11:43.720 You know, that's why we still have laws against those things.
00:11:46.740 And most people don't think that those laws should be repealed for good reason.
00:11:52.620 What this means is that Florida, without much fanfare,
00:11:55.140 has found a solution to the TikTok debate
00:11:57.260 that has dominated Congress for the past several weeks.
00:11:59.300 All we have to do is what we've done before.
00:12:01.900 It doesn't have to be complicated.
00:12:03.680 We don't have to open the door to future government bans on Twitter
00:12:06.180 or any other social media platform.
00:12:07.840 We just need to do something
00:12:09.180 that's fallen out of favor recently,
00:12:11.700 which is to protect children
00:12:13.460 from strangers on the Internet
00:12:15.760 and from the Internet itself,
00:12:18.360 which wants to harm them.

00:13:22.500 Okay, well, I just mentioned this at the top
00:13:25.300 because it's the biggest news in the country today.
00:13:28.420 Begin with this video that I think we were all shocked
00:13:31.360 to see when we woke up in the morning.
00:13:33.800 A cargo ship slamming into the Francis Scott Key Bridge
00:13:36.960 in Baltimore, causing the bridge to collapse.
00:13:40.300 And if you haven't seen it,
00:13:41.120 here's the video of that incident.
00:13:42.700 Yeah, I used to drive across that bridge all the time
00:14:08.660 when I lived in Maryland,
00:14:09.400 so it's just crazy to think that it no longer exists.
00:14:12.820 And so here's what we know about this so far.
00:14:15.900 By the time you listen to this,
00:14:16.860 we may know a lot more,
00:14:17.920 so this may be a moot point.
00:14:19.560 But right now it appears that a massive cargo ship
00:14:21.640 from Singapore hit a support beam
00:14:23.540 of that bridge around 1.30 in the morning.
00:14:26.780 And there were a number of cars on the bridge at the time.
00:14:30.520 I've read 20 to 30 cars maybe.
00:14:33.280 There were also construction workers on the bridge.
00:14:35.220 And many are still missing, as you can imagine.
00:14:38.640 The latest that I read said the ship lost propulsion.
00:14:42.180 It lost power shortly before it collided
00:14:43.920 with the support beam.
00:14:45.680 And the crew apparently notified
00:14:47.660 the Maryland Department of Transportation
00:14:49.000 that they had lost control of the ship.
00:14:52.000 And now, of course, when you watch the video,
00:14:55.540 and there are several videos out there
00:14:56.880 of the actual crash,
00:14:59.100 and it looks like the ship veers
00:15:02.240 right into the support beam.
00:15:04.700 And so naturally, anyone who sees that,
00:15:07.560 the first thing you think is,
00:15:09.320 was it intentional?
00:15:10.500 We're being told at this point
00:15:11.500 that it was not, that it was not terrorism.
00:15:15.340 I don't know, within hours they said,
00:15:17.320 I don't know how they could know that so quickly,
00:15:18.740 but that's what we're being told.
00:15:20.660 I do find that denial,
00:15:22.120 the denial that this was intentional or terrorism,
00:15:24.120 I find it slightly more believable
00:15:25.620 just given the time when this happened.
00:15:27.900 You know, yes, it's devastating
00:15:29.160 any time of day, obviously,
00:15:30.280 but 1.30 in the morning
00:15:31.760 is the least devastating time
00:15:34.020 for this to happen.
00:15:34.740 If this had happened at 6 p.m. or something,
00:15:36.500 I mean, my God, that's rush hour,
00:15:38.900 you know, beltway rush hour.
00:15:40.680 And you're talking about many,
00:15:42.120 many hundreds of lives lost.
00:15:44.760 So it doesn't seem like you'd plan
00:15:45.880 a terrorist attack for 1.30 a.m.
00:15:47.460 At the same time, though, you know,
00:15:48.660 this is a bizarre accident, to say the least,
00:15:51.040 if that's what it really was.
00:15:53.520 The ship hit the perfect spot, I guess,
00:15:55.760 to take the whole bridge down
00:15:57.100 or take a large portion of it down.
00:15:59.040 So, you know, what actually happened?
00:16:01.540 How did the ship lose power?
00:16:02.700 Why did it veer?
00:16:03.400 We don't know right now.
00:16:05.600 What we do know is the devastation
00:16:06.820 will go beyond the immediate carnage
00:16:09.780 of the crash.
00:16:10.480 I mean, this is going to be a disaster
00:16:11.580 for the entire city.
00:16:12.840 You know, that bridge had like 30,000
00:16:15.280 cars go across it every day.
00:16:17.920 So the ripple effects here are enormous
00:16:21.680 for commerce in the city
00:16:23.180 and for everything else.
00:16:24.520 Meanwhile,
00:16:26.840 again, we still don't know what happened
00:16:28.340 or why.
00:16:29.860 We'll find out.
00:16:31.160 Or they'll find out.
00:16:32.940 Hopefully we find out after that.
00:16:34.600 You never know.
00:16:36.480 In the meantime,
00:16:37.260 it's hard not to notice
00:16:38.240 that this is yet another
00:16:40.500 transportation-related disaster.
00:16:42.280 And you add this
00:16:44.120 to the train derailments.
00:16:46.420 You know,
00:16:46.640 you add this
00:16:47.060 to the supply chain crisis.
00:16:49.520 You remember the ships
00:16:50.360 clogged, you know,
00:16:53.100 at a standstill in the ports.
00:16:56.160 Airplanes falling apart
00:16:57.980 in the sky.
00:16:59.740 Now ships crashing into bridges.
00:17:03.280 Again, I'm not assigning any blame
00:17:04.780 for this latest incident
00:17:06.060 because we don't have enough
00:17:08.360 information for that
00:17:09.100 at this moment,
00:17:09.560 as far as I know.
00:17:10.160 But the overall picture
00:17:13.120 is pretty bleak.
00:17:18.080 And we'll find out more.
00:17:21.480 But there is...
00:17:24.400 And when we look
00:17:25.520 at all these things together...
00:17:27.740 And by the way,
00:17:28.320 I said this on Twitter this morning.
00:17:29.860 And of course,
00:17:30.200 I had all kinds of people
00:17:31.300 that were responding
00:17:31.920 and say,
00:17:32.600 oh, come on.
00:17:34.640 You're exaggerating.
00:17:36.480 There have always been
00:17:37.280 train derailments.
00:17:38.060 There have always been
00:17:38.820 airplane accidents.
00:17:39.780 There have always been...
00:17:40.780 Someone told me
00:17:41.400 there have always been
00:17:42.320 ships running into bridges.
00:17:45.140 Yes, I get...
00:17:46.040 Of course,
00:17:46.520 this isn't the first time
00:17:47.420 that's happened,
00:17:48.040 but it's not...
00:17:48.880 To say it always happens,
00:17:50.300 I think,
00:17:50.600 is a bit of an exaggeration.
00:17:52.380 I've never seen anything
00:17:53.300 like this before.
00:17:55.720 A bridge that enormous
00:17:56.980 being taken down
00:17:57.940 by a ship.
00:17:58.780 I can't remember
00:17:59.820 the last time
00:18:00.180 we've seen that.
00:18:01.640 But yes,
00:18:02.540 all these individual
00:18:03.780 sorts of things,
00:18:04.720 bridges falling apart,
00:18:06.100 accidents at sea,
00:18:07.360 accidents in the air,
00:18:09.140 train derailments,
00:18:11.020 supply chain issues,
00:18:13.120 congestion at ports,
00:18:14.500 like all these things
00:18:15.440 individually
00:18:15.920 have happened.
00:18:17.660 None of that is unprecedented.
00:18:19.700 But I also don't think
00:18:20.900 you're crazy
00:18:21.540 if you notice
00:18:22.380 all of these things
00:18:23.260 happening a lot
00:18:24.540 and in close succession.
00:18:28.560 And
00:18:28.880 I think there are
00:18:30.940 many different avenues
00:18:31.960 we can explore
00:18:32.520 to explain that,
00:18:33.200 but one of them
00:18:33.800 is certainly
00:18:34.560 the competency crisis.
00:18:36.960 We are becoming
00:18:37.860 a rapidly less competent,
00:18:39.760 not just less competent country,
00:18:42.960 but less competent world.
00:18:45.740 And
00:18:46.140 does that
00:18:49.180 factor in
00:18:50.920 to what happened
00:18:51.580 this morning?
00:18:52.440 We'll find out,
00:18:53.400 but that is certainly...
00:18:54.340 That's at least
00:18:54.860 the context
00:18:55.580 in which
00:18:56.100 this has occurred.
00:18:58.320 Okay,
00:18:58.700 here's another
00:18:59.260 horrific story for you.
00:19:02.200 It's the kind of story
00:19:04.120 that tempts me
00:19:04.640 to say things
00:19:05.180 that could get me
00:19:05.960 banned on every platform.
00:19:07.240 So
00:19:07.420 we'll see how it goes.
00:19:11.560 Here's CBS News.
00:19:14.160 A Chicago area
00:19:15.360 veterinarian
00:19:16.060 who has judged
00:19:17.120 national dog shows
00:19:18.300 was arrested Friday
00:19:19.500 on child pornography charges
00:19:20.820 and accused of chatting
00:19:21.800 about planning
00:19:22.320 to sexually assault
00:19:23.180 his newborn son,
00:19:24.500 according to federal prosecutors.
00:19:26.300 Adam Stafford King,
00:19:27.440 a veterinary
00:19:28.880 ophthalmologist
00:19:30.160 from Elburn,
00:19:31.780 is charged with
00:19:32.300 one count
00:19:32.760 of knowingly
00:19:33.260 distributing
00:19:33.580 child pornography.
00:19:34.380 He's a staff
00:19:34.880 ophthalmologist
00:19:35.940 at MedVet Chicago
00:19:37.080 a veterinary clinic.
00:19:38.960 King is also
00:19:39.620 a Havanese dog breeder
00:19:41.700 and dog show judge.
00:19:43.920 According to charges
00:19:44.720 against him,
00:19:45.140 the FBI began
00:19:45.700 investigating King
00:19:46.260 in October
00:19:46.720 as part of a child
00:19:47.360 pornography investigation
00:19:48.120 in New York.
00:19:50.060 Agents learned
00:19:50.560 a subject in the New York case
00:19:51.920 had been chatting
00:19:52.540 with King
00:19:52.880 using the dating app
00:19:53.720 Scruff
00:19:54.240 and the messaging app
00:19:55.420 Telegram,
00:19:56.120 and King had sent
00:19:56.780 that person
00:19:57.260 several videos
00:19:57.880 of child pornography.
00:19:58.620 After the person
00:19:59.940 was arrested,
00:20:00.520 FBI agents
00:20:01.100 posed as him
00:20:02.100 online and
00:20:02.800 continued to chat
00:20:03.460 with him.
00:20:04.260 During those chats,
00:20:05.080 King used the handle
00:20:05.940 pervchigai
00:20:08.780 and wrote that
00:20:10.200 he prefers children
00:20:11.100 under age 10.
00:20:12.240 In one message,
00:20:12.880 King wrote
00:20:13.260 zero to nine,
00:20:15.040 my fave boy
00:20:16.180 and girl,
00:20:16.760 though prefer boy,
00:20:18.720 according to the charges.
00:20:22.960 He also talked about
00:20:24.400 how he has drugged
00:20:26.600 and sexually abused
00:20:27.220 his nieces
00:20:27.760 and nephews.
00:20:28.640 He says he uses
00:20:29.320 Benadryl
00:20:30.040 to do that,
00:20:32.120 to drug them.
00:20:34.300 And here's an important part
00:20:35.240 that we wanted to get to.
00:20:38.140 King also allegedly claimed
00:20:39.580 that he and his husband
00:20:40.540 were expecting
00:20:41.300 the birth of a child
00:20:42.280 by a surrogate
00:20:43.100 on March 29th
00:20:44.560 and that he planned
00:20:45.320 to sexually assault
00:20:46.060 the child
00:20:46.460 after it's born.
00:20:47.880 He also allegedly
00:20:48.560 sent the person
00:20:49.280 in New York
00:20:49.860 an ultrasound image
00:20:50.800 of the unborn child
00:20:51.680 and a photo
00:20:52.260 of a baby,
00:20:53.640 rather of a baby outfit
00:20:54.740 that he and his husband
00:20:55.640 got for Christmas.
00:20:57.720 King allegedly wrote
00:20:58.540 in a message,
00:20:59.020 quote,
00:21:00.500 I do love the idea
00:21:01.300 of inviting a buddy over
00:21:03.060 for when I have my boy.
00:21:05.440 Just has to be someone
00:21:06.240 I can trust, obviously.
00:21:09.200 Okay, so,
00:21:10.540 needless to say,
00:21:11.340 this man should be tried
00:21:12.380 and convicted lawfully
00:21:13.300 in a court of law
00:21:13.900 and then executed.
00:21:17.160 I actually think,
00:21:18.180 okay, now we're going to get right,
00:21:19.080 we're just going to get right
00:21:19.640 into the stuff
00:21:20.040 that gets me in trouble.
00:21:21.060 But I'll just say
00:21:21.840 that I honestly believe
00:21:23.520 that we should legally
00:21:25.600 bring back
00:21:26.200 medieval-style torture methods
00:21:28.220 for certain criminals
00:21:29.120 like this one.
00:21:30.500 And I'm not advocating
00:21:31.340 for extrajudicial punishments.
00:21:33.280 I'm not advocating
00:21:34.300 for vigilantism.
00:21:35.680 I'm saying, legally,
00:21:36.920 a law should be passed
00:21:37.840 allowing it.
00:21:39.700 Maybe Florida
00:21:40.380 can be the first
00:21:41.180 to step up to the plate
00:21:41.980 on this.
00:21:42.400 They're the first
00:21:42.780 on a lot of things.
00:21:44.100 Maybe they can be
00:21:44.700 the first on this.
00:21:46.080 It'll be a constitutional challenge,
00:21:47.480 of course.
00:21:47.920 It'll be called
00:21:48.320 Cruel and Unusual Punishment.
00:21:50.000 But look,
00:21:50.520 for thousands of years,
00:21:51.340 I mean, it's actually
00:21:51.780 not unusual.
00:21:52.560 Certainly not.
00:21:53.100 I don't think it's cruel
00:21:53.780 as long as you're,
00:21:54.800 if the person
00:21:56.820 that is sustaining
00:21:59.320 this punishment
00:21:59.880 is someone like this.
00:22:01.360 It's not cruel
00:22:02.040 and it's certainly
00:22:02.360 not unusual.
00:22:03.460 It's like the most
00:22:04.080 usual kind of punishment,
00:22:06.580 you know, arguably.
00:22:08.660 And for thousands of years
00:22:09.740 of human history
00:22:10.240 in every society on earth,
00:22:11.160 they used physical punishments
00:22:12.340 for certain crimes.
00:22:13.600 Whipping,
00:22:14.720 amputation,
00:22:16.560 all sorts of
00:22:17.140 innovative techniques,
00:22:19.600 stockades,
00:22:20.340 et cetera.
00:22:21.740 And there are some crimes
00:22:22.800 that warrant that,
00:22:23.700 in my opinion.
00:22:24.360 Some crimes that warrant
00:22:25.260 the deliberate infliction
00:22:26.260 of severe physical pain.
00:22:28.760 And,
00:22:29.340 you know,
00:22:30.820 what I'm trying to
00:22:32.040 communicate is
00:22:32.760 it's only very recently
00:22:35.020 that such an idea
00:22:36.760 is shocking to people.
00:22:38.960 Totally shocking.
00:22:40.160 For most of human history,
00:22:41.860 if I were to argue this
00:22:43.380 to you,
00:22:44.500 you would be shocked
00:22:45.780 only that I feel
00:22:46.780 the need to state
00:22:47.320 the obvious.
00:22:49.280 You know,
00:22:49.720 if I said that,
00:22:51.080 okay,
00:22:51.400 we need a legal punishment
00:22:52.980 to inflict severe physical pain
00:22:54.400 on a man who wants
00:22:55.200 to rape babies,
00:22:57.020 if I had said that to you,
00:22:58.080 you know,
00:22:58.600 almost any other time
00:22:59.340 in human history,
00:22:59.820 you would look at me like,
00:23:00.540 of course?
00:23:02.180 Why are you even saying that?
00:23:03.460 As if this is a,
00:23:04.600 what is there to argue about?
00:23:06.020 Of course,
00:23:06.380 obviously.
00:23:07.260 How else are you going
00:23:07.820 to punish somebody like that?
00:23:11.180 And even now,
00:23:12.080 I don't think that anyone
00:23:12.780 even really disagrees.
00:23:13.940 I mean,
00:23:14.080 does anyone disagree
00:23:14.720 with the idea
00:23:15.260 that this man deserves
00:23:16.180 to experience
00:23:16.800 severe physical pain
00:23:17.780 lawfully
00:23:19.500 as a lawful punishment?
00:23:22.000 Does anyone really
00:23:22.980 disagree with that?
00:23:26.840 I don't think anyone
00:23:27.640 really does.
00:23:28.580 People pretend to disagree
00:23:29.600 because we've been conditioned
00:23:30.960 into this idea
00:23:31.760 that torture is always wrong
00:23:33.200 no matter what.
00:23:34.200 Maybe the problem
00:23:34.800 is the word torture.
00:23:35.660 Like,
00:23:35.840 so let me amend my statement.
00:23:36.980 Actually,
00:23:37.120 I'll amend it.
00:23:39.440 I don't think this man
00:23:40.520 should be tortured.
00:23:41.800 I don't.
00:23:42.420 I think that we should
00:23:43.520 legally inflict
00:23:44.640 severe physical pain
00:23:45.780 on him.
00:23:47.100 And in his case,
00:23:48.160 it would not be torture.
00:23:50.000 Okay?
00:23:50.340 It would be
00:23:51.120 if we did the same thing
00:23:52.080 to somebody who was arrested
00:23:52.920 for, say,
00:23:53.900 unpaid parking tickets.
00:23:55.320 In that case,
00:23:55.980 it'd be torture,
00:23:56.440 cruel and unusual punishment.
00:23:58.040 In his case,
00:23:58.980 I wouldn't,
00:24:00.040 although it's methods
00:24:01.140 that we may,
00:24:02.480 and previously may have
00:24:03.320 been described that way,
00:24:03.980 in this case,
00:24:04.420 I wouldn't call it that
00:24:05.540 for him.
00:24:06.240 I would call it
00:24:07.000 corporal punishment
00:24:08.300 is what it is.
00:24:09.500 And that's what
00:24:10.860 I would advocate.
00:24:15.720 All right,
00:24:16.240 now,
00:24:16.400 beyond that,
00:24:17.260 we were very notably
00:24:18.420 told that this guy,
00:24:19.900 Adam King,
00:24:20.880 this beast,
00:24:21.900 this goblin,
00:24:25.440 was on the verge
00:24:26.600 of having a child
00:24:27.300 via surrogacy
00:24:28.180 along with his gay lover.
00:24:30.580 And by having a child,
00:24:32.860 of course,
00:24:33.060 we really mean
00:24:34.100 buying a child.
00:24:36.440 He was going to
00:24:37.060 buy a child
00:24:37.740 who he then
00:24:38.600 planned to
00:24:39.460 systematically rape.
00:24:40.780 That was the plan.
00:24:41.580 And he had already
00:24:42.680 bought the child,
00:24:43.560 it seems,
00:24:44.080 and the surrogate
00:24:44.820 whose body he had rented
00:24:45.900 was going to give birth
00:24:47.300 in the next few days.
00:24:48.880 And keep in mind,
00:24:49.420 it's apparently
00:24:49.820 only by accident
00:24:50.680 that they found out
00:24:52.620 about this scumbag.
00:24:54.020 That's how close he was
00:24:55.120 to actually getting
00:24:55.680 his hands on this baby.
00:24:57.240 It seems that authorities
00:24:58.200 were investigating
00:24:58.860 some other pedophile scumbag
00:25:00.520 and in the process,
00:25:01.600 they found out about
00:25:02.260 Adam King
00:25:02.740 because this other scumbag
00:25:03.860 was talking to Adam King
00:25:05.440 and that's how
00:25:05.720 they found out about him.
00:25:06.320 And this leads us
00:25:07.520 to an extremely
00:25:08.100 horrifying question
00:25:08.980 which I'm sure
00:25:11.480 has an even more
00:25:14.400 horrifying answer.
00:25:16.380 And the question is
00:25:17.180 how many pedophiles
00:25:18.900 have already purchased
00:25:20.540 children successfully?
00:25:22.400 How many children
00:25:23.420 have been bought,
00:25:25.440 birthed by surrogates
00:25:26.600 whose wombs
00:25:27.900 were rented
00:25:28.400 and then delivered
00:25:30.960 into the hands
00:25:31.520 of sex criminal monsters?
00:25:34.060 Like, total.
00:25:34.700 I mean, this guy's a monster
00:25:36.660 doesn't,
00:25:37.140 words do not suffice.
00:25:41.060 There's no word,
00:25:41.960 at least no word
00:25:42.480 that I can say here publicly
00:25:43.360 that would be quite enough
00:25:47.140 to describe this person.
00:25:48.300 So let's just say monster.
00:25:50.040 How many children
00:25:51.680 have already been
00:25:52.860 birthed and delivered
00:25:56.060 into the hands of monsters?
00:25:57.620 How many?
00:25:58.260 I mean, we know
00:25:58.620 the answer isn't zero.
00:26:00.280 We know that.
00:26:01.860 Beyond that,
00:26:02.300 we don't know.
00:26:03.460 And that's what's
00:26:04.300 so terrifying.
00:26:05.880 And it's also
00:26:06.840 one of the many,
00:26:07.680 many reasons
00:26:08.220 why surrogacy
00:26:09.960 should be banned.
00:26:10.840 It's not because
00:26:11.860 every person
00:26:12.400 who has a child
00:26:12.980 through surrogacy
00:26:13.640 is a sex predator.
00:26:14.900 Obviously,
00:26:15.700 nobody's saying that.
00:26:17.880 But the point is that
00:26:18.660 it is inherently
00:26:19.480 dehumanizing.
00:26:21.840 Purchasing a child
00:26:22.820 and then
00:26:24.880 purchasing a woman's body
00:26:26.640 to incubate the child
00:26:28.140 is the commodification
00:26:30.980 of the human person.
00:26:34.340 And it's,
00:26:37.600 we might even say
00:26:38.740 it's the most direct form
00:26:40.520 of commodification
00:26:43.200 of the human person
00:26:43.980 since slavery.
00:26:45.960 You are literally
00:26:47.780 treating human beings
00:26:48.740 like commodities.
00:26:49.840 You are buying
00:26:50.580 and renting people.
00:26:52.400 So I don't know
00:26:53.540 what else to call that.
00:26:54.600 And you're doing this
00:26:57.420 and doing this
00:27:00.820 and allowing this
00:27:01.500 creates
00:27:02.100 far more problems
00:27:03.780 and opens up
00:27:05.100 far more moral
00:27:05.980 and ethical quandaries
00:27:07.080 than it solves.
00:27:08.640 And that's because
00:27:09.220 it doesn't solve anything.
00:27:10.840 It doesn't,
00:27:11.140 there's no moral problem
00:27:12.640 being solved by this.
00:27:13.880 This isn't like
00:27:14.420 some sort of
00:27:15.100 balancing act
00:27:16.900 where we have to say,
00:27:17.740 well, you know,
00:27:18.220 we've got two moral claims
00:27:19.460 and we've got to figure out
00:27:21.260 who, you know,
00:27:22.540 who wins out here
00:27:23.780 or how do we thread
00:27:24.540 this needle?
00:27:25.860 There's no needle
00:27:26.600 to thread.
00:27:29.540 You know,
00:27:30.220 because,
00:27:31.120 and here's the reason.
00:27:32.480 I know you might say
00:27:33.240 that, well,
00:27:33.720 the problem is
00:27:34.340 that some people
00:27:34.820 can't have kids.
00:27:35.800 And that's the problem
00:27:36.640 and that's what
00:27:36.980 surrogacy solves for them.
00:27:39.700 But no,
00:27:40.360 because if the only way
00:27:41.860 that you can have a child
00:27:43.260 semi-biologically
00:27:44.680 is through surrogacy,
00:27:47.420 well, then you just
00:27:48.720 aren't meant
00:27:49.200 to have a child
00:27:50.360 in that way.
00:27:51.800 Not everyone is.
00:27:53.780 Now,
00:27:54.760 some of the people
00:27:55.220 who would otherwise
00:27:55.820 choose surrogacy
00:27:56.720 can and should adopt.
00:27:59.520 And I say some
00:28:00.740 because only married
00:28:02.200 male-female couples,
00:28:04.060 husbands and wives,
00:28:05.460 should be allowed
00:28:06.200 to adopt.
00:28:08.060 And so,
00:28:08.320 if you are a happy,
00:28:09.640 married,
00:28:10.660 stable marriage,
00:28:12.380 man-woman,
00:28:13.400 husband-wife,
00:28:14.420 and you're thinking
00:28:17.300 about surrogacy,
00:28:18.620 in my opinion,
00:28:19.660 my very strong opinion,
00:28:20.520 is that what you
00:28:22.480 should be looking at
00:28:23.140 is adoption.
00:28:26.460 And there are many
00:28:27.780 children who need
00:28:28.200 to be adopted
00:28:28.640 and children have a right
00:28:29.680 to a mother and father.
00:28:36.040 But for someone
00:28:38.220 in that boat,
00:28:39.020 someone who's a man-woman
00:28:41.160 couple,
00:28:41.580 married couple,
00:28:42.360 and you aren't able
00:28:43.760 to conceive a child,
00:28:45.300 then you can rightly say,
00:28:47.080 well,
00:28:47.240 we should be able
00:28:48.040 to have kids.
00:28:49.000 We should be able to.
00:28:51.100 But this is something
00:28:52.660 that by our nature
00:28:53.560 we should be able to do.
00:28:54.860 Except that something
00:28:55.640 has gone wrong physically
00:28:56.720 and that prevents us
00:28:58.780 from having kids.
00:29:00.000 And in that case,
00:29:00.580 again,
00:29:00.780 adoption is a very noble thing.
00:29:03.580 Obviously,
00:29:04.420 very necessary.
00:29:05.920 We need stable,
00:29:07.120 loving couples to adopt.
00:29:08.880 And that's what
00:29:10.020 you should do
00:29:11.000 if you feel so called.
00:29:12.760 And certainly,
00:29:13.600 you should do that
00:29:14.160 instead of renting
00:29:14.880 another woman's body.
00:29:15.700 But if you're
00:29:18.140 a single person,
00:29:19.740 if you're in
00:29:20.740 a same-sex relationship,
00:29:22.720 then you cannot say,
00:29:25.880 I should be able
00:29:27.080 to have kids.
00:29:28.900 Right?
00:29:29.760 Your inability
00:29:30.780 to have kids
00:29:31.340 is not a problem
00:29:32.260 that has to be solved.
00:29:34.440 It's just,
00:29:35.180 it's just,
00:29:36.220 it's a fact of nature.
00:29:38.860 It is design.
00:29:41.060 It's not,
00:29:41.420 it's the opposite
00:29:41.920 of a problem.
00:29:42.540 It is how things
00:29:43.520 are designed.
00:29:45.140 A man and woman
00:29:45.840 are designed
00:29:46.840 to be able
00:29:47.460 to have kids.
00:29:48.920 But sometimes
00:29:49.560 things go wrong
00:29:50.380 in either the man
00:29:51.420 and woman's body
00:29:52.020 or both
00:29:52.980 or something is wrong
00:29:53.600 and they're not able to
00:29:54.760 and so you look
00:29:56.320 for other methods.
00:29:57.880 Again,
00:29:58.160 as I said,
00:29:58.560 adoption is one of them.
00:30:02.360 But when you've got
00:30:03.620 two men
00:30:04.100 who say,
00:30:06.020 well,
00:30:06.160 we're not able
00:30:06.620 to have kids.
00:30:08.760 That's not,
00:30:09.240 nothing has gone wrong.
00:30:10.300 There's no problem here.
00:30:11.420 There's not,
00:30:12.640 you shouldn't be
00:30:13.640 looking around shocked
00:30:14.600 and say,
00:30:14.900 well,
00:30:15.040 what's going on?
00:30:16.140 Why can't we?
00:30:16.820 But you can't
00:30:17.280 because that's just,
00:30:18.120 it is precluded.
00:30:19.620 It is precluded
00:30:20.400 by nature.
00:30:22.540 You are in the type
00:30:23.500 of romantic relationship
00:30:24.400 that by its nature
00:30:25.240 can never conceive,
00:30:26.120 by its nature
00:30:26.620 can never produce offspring,
00:30:28.480 that nature itself
00:30:30.100 has precluded
00:30:30.720 from parenthood
00:30:31.400 absolutely.
00:30:33.120 And so you are not
00:30:34.340 supposed to have kids.
00:30:36.620 That's not how
00:30:37.220 things are set up.
00:30:37.900 you are not
00:30:40.040 supposed to have kids.
00:30:41.580 That shouldn't be
00:30:42.260 a controversial statement.
00:30:43.380 I understand that it is
00:30:44.340 in our
00:30:44.800 very silly
00:30:46.840 culture,
00:30:47.980 but it shouldn't be.
00:30:49.720 Like,
00:30:50.180 you are not
00:30:50.580 two men,
00:30:51.620 I want to have kids.
00:30:52.560 Well,
00:30:52.820 you're not supposed
00:30:53.220 to have kids.
00:30:54.880 Who are you to say that?
00:30:55.960 I'm not even saying that.
00:30:58.120 Like,
00:30:58.480 this,
00:30:58.760 this,
00:30:59.100 God is saying that,
00:31:01.360 but if you would like
00:31:02.200 to say nature
00:31:03.040 is saying that,
00:31:03.860 which God has designed,
00:31:05.460 either one of those
00:31:06.340 statements is correct.
00:31:07.900 And that's it.
00:31:12.880 And since we're using,
00:31:14.260 you know,
00:31:14.420 we're talking about
00:31:14.860 what's supposed to be,
00:31:16.820 well,
00:31:17.140 all children
00:31:17.800 are supposed to have
00:31:19.300 a mother and a father.
00:31:22.500 And that's,
00:31:23.500 that,
00:31:23.900 we can draw that conclusion
00:31:25.180 based on the fact that
00:31:26.120 only men and women
00:31:27.740 can have babies
00:31:28.400 together.
00:31:29.820 And so,
00:31:30.940 what does that mean?
00:31:32.800 It means that
00:31:33.500 every child
00:31:34.160 has a mother and father,
00:31:35.740 biologically speaking.
00:31:37.360 And what does that mean?
00:31:38.340 It means that every child
00:31:39.100 is supposed to have
00:31:39.980 a mother and father.
00:31:41.420 Right?
00:31:42.960 So,
00:31:44.320 when a single person
00:31:47.500 or same-sex couple
00:31:48.920 has a child,
00:31:50.940 quote-unquote,
00:31:51.800 has,
00:31:52.540 they are depriving
00:31:54.980 the child
00:31:55.400 of something
00:31:55.940 that he needs,
00:31:57.480 which is either
00:31:59.040 a mother or a father.
00:32:00.620 One of those two
00:32:01.460 is going to be
00:32:02.180 missing.
00:32:02.800 And a child
00:32:04.960 is supposed to have that,
00:32:06.160 has a right to it.
00:32:08.440 And so,
00:32:08.660 you notice here,
00:32:09.400 when I'm talking about this,
00:32:12.040 that I'm putting the emphasis
00:32:13.120 on what the child needs.
00:32:16.120 Because that's what
00:32:16.920 we should be doing.
00:32:18.300 That,
00:32:18.760 that should be
00:32:19.780 the emphasis.
00:32:21.140 And when it's no longer
00:32:22.360 the emphasis,
00:32:23.400 then all kinds of horrors
00:32:24.800 follow from there,
00:32:26.900 as we saw
00:32:27.540 in this story.
00:32:30.080 But the emphasis on
00:32:31.100 what does a child need?
00:32:31.940 the fact that
00:32:34.220 two men
00:32:34.720 are together
00:32:35.920 and they want to have a kid,
00:32:37.920 that,
00:32:38.020 that,
00:32:38.220 that's not really relevant.
00:32:39.860 And that certainly
00:32:41.140 should not take precedence
00:32:43.640 over what a child needs.
00:32:46.020 Child needs a mother and father,
00:32:47.620 and then you've got
00:32:48.100 two men over here
00:32:48.960 who would like
00:32:49.940 to have a baby.
00:32:51.680 Okay,
00:32:51.860 well,
00:32:51.980 that,
00:32:52.220 that might be what you like,
00:32:53.460 what you want,
00:32:54.760 but that's,
00:32:55.540 but that is going to be
00:32:56.900 in direct conflict
00:32:58.120 with what the child needs.
00:33:00.500 And the child's need
00:33:02.040 is more important
00:33:02.840 than your desire.
00:33:05.280 And once again,
00:33:06.020 we're in the territory
00:33:06.800 where I'm explaining things
00:33:07.980 that I shouldn't need
00:33:08.700 to explain.
00:33:10.720 The child's needs
00:33:11.960 are more important
00:33:12.860 than what you want.
00:33:14.340 And once we start ignoring that,
00:33:22.180 it,
00:33:22.320 it never leads anywhere good
00:33:23.940 as we've seen.
00:33:26.120 The Daily Wire is this story.
00:33:27.360 The mission statement
00:33:27.980 of West Point
00:33:28.580 will no longer include
00:33:29.460 the words
00:33:29.840 duty,
00:33:30.320 honor,
00:33:30.680 country,
00:33:31.160 as the over 220-year-old
00:33:32.580 military academy
00:33:33.300 chose to adopt
00:33:34.020 a new mission statement
00:33:34.920 based on army values.
00:33:37.520 The military academy
00:33:38.460 announced the proposed change
00:33:39.500 on Monday
00:33:39.880 saying that the edits
00:33:41.060 to the decades-old
00:33:42.200 mission statement
00:33:42.760 have already been approved
00:33:43.640 by the Secretary of the Army
00:33:44.560 and the Army Chief of Staff.
00:33:46.080 West Point
00:33:46.400 will still retain duty
00:33:47.240 on our country
00:33:47.720 as the academy's motto
00:33:48.840 saying that the changes
00:33:49.580 to the mission statement
00:33:50.320 came after a year-and-a-half-long
00:33:52.080 assessment.
00:33:53.200 West Point's new mission statement
00:33:54.480 will be
00:33:55.200 to build,
00:33:56.540 educate,
00:33:56.980 train,
00:33:57.240 and inspire
00:33:57.900 the Corps of Cadets
00:33:59.480 to be
00:33:59.980 commissioned leaders
00:34:01.680 of character
00:34:02.220 committed to army values
00:34:03.340 and ready for
00:34:04.160 a lifetime
00:34:05.320 of service
00:34:06.080 to the army and nation.
00:34:07.900 The academy explained
00:34:08.480 the change
00:34:08.800 by saying that it
00:34:09.480 is part of a routine
00:34:10.540 examination
00:34:11.000 of the mission
00:34:11.800 of the institution.
00:34:12.540 Quote,
00:34:14.340 our responsibility
00:34:14.920 to produce leaders
00:34:15.780 to fight and win
00:34:16.980 our nation's wars
00:34:17.560 requires us to assess
00:34:18.520 ourselves regularly.
00:34:20.320 Thus,
00:34:20.540 over the past year-and-a-half,
00:34:21.480 working with leaders
00:34:22.100 from across West Point
00:34:22.960 and external stakeholders,
00:34:24.420 we review our mission,
00:34:25.800 vision,
00:34:26.060 and strategy
00:34:26.740 to serve this purpose.
00:34:29.040 Blah, blah, blah,
00:34:29.720 et cetera, and so forth.
00:34:30.400 So,
00:34:31.580 you know,
00:34:32.360 this is the kind of story,
00:34:33.440 it's actually from
00:34:34.100 a week or so ago,
00:34:35.220 and I've had it here,
00:34:36.440 and I wanted to
00:34:37.040 finally get around to it.
00:34:38.160 it's the kind of story
00:34:40.660 that sounds like
00:34:41.260 it's tailor-made
00:34:42.120 for a boomer,
00:34:43.020 for like the boomer
00:34:43.900 outrage cycle.
00:34:45.280 They're changing the motto
00:34:46.260 for West Point.
00:34:47.240 It's an outrage.
00:34:49.460 But actually,
00:34:50.140 it is,
00:34:50.760 you know,
00:34:51.020 or perhaps it's less
00:34:51.820 of an outrage
00:34:52.400 and more of a very
00:34:53.160 troubling sign of the times.
00:34:54.780 And yes,
00:34:55.140 it's easy to point out
00:34:56.120 that this motto
00:34:56.860 or this part of the
00:34:57.900 mission statement,
00:34:58.500 rather,
00:34:58.820 is what they're changing.
00:35:01.060 It's easy to point out
00:35:01.860 that this was added
00:35:02.440 in 1998,
00:35:03.240 so it's not like
00:35:04.640 it's a 200-year-old thing.
00:35:07.020 And that's the kind of
00:35:07.760 excuse they give
00:35:08.560 when they,
00:35:09.560 for everything,
00:35:09.980 like when they tear down
00:35:10.620 a statue,
00:35:11.320 right?
00:35:12.200 They'll always say,
00:35:13.040 well,
00:35:13.260 hey,
00:35:13.420 the statue was only
00:35:14.100 put up in the 40s,
00:35:15.800 right?
00:35:15.940 It's not that old.
00:35:16.620 It's not like we're
00:35:16.940 tearing down a 200-year-old
00:35:17.780 statue.
00:35:18.300 Now,
00:35:18.420 meanwhile,
00:35:18.740 they would happily tear
00:35:19.460 down a 200-year-old
00:35:20.280 statue,
00:35:20.820 you know,
00:35:21.000 obviously.
00:35:24.240 But that's not the point.
00:35:25.440 The truth is,
00:35:26.500 it doesn't matter
00:35:27.560 when they came up
00:35:28.440 with this language.
00:35:29.140 The question is,
00:35:29.820 why would you feel
00:35:30.760 you needed to change it?
00:35:33.020 Because you would think,
00:35:34.180 you would hope,
00:35:34.720 you would want to believe
00:35:35.640 that duty,
00:35:36.320 honor,
00:35:36.540 country are three
00:35:37.360 perfect words
00:35:38.020 to sum up the mission
00:35:39.040 of an institution
00:35:40.480 like West Point.
00:35:42.240 And now it's going to say,
00:35:43.400 build,
00:35:43.900 educate,
00:35:44.420 train,
00:35:44.760 and inspire.
00:35:45.540 So it goes from
00:35:46.160 something strong,
00:35:47.760 masculine,
00:35:48.500 militaristic,
00:35:49.640 to a mission statement
00:35:50.700 that sounds like
00:35:51.180 it could easily be
00:35:52.000 the mission statement
00:35:52.600 for any college,
00:35:54.020 any school,
00:35:54.860 any corporation.
00:35:56.260 It could be a mission statement
00:35:57.220 hanging on the wall
00:35:58.260 in the break room
00:35:59.220 at Best Buy,
00:36:00.560 okay?
00:36:00.820 And it wouldn't look
00:36:03.520 out of place
00:36:03.960 at all there.
00:36:04.380 Now,
00:36:05.480 a mission statement
00:36:06.440 at the Best Buy break room
00:36:08.640 that says
00:36:09.100 duty,
00:36:09.720 honor,
00:36:10.020 country
00:36:10.420 would be awesome.
00:36:12.120 I mean,
00:36:12.360 I would be a big fan
00:36:14.240 of Best Buy
00:36:14.740 if they would put that
00:36:15.320 in the break room.
00:36:15.980 But that would be,
00:36:18.220 that would seem like
00:36:18.980 maybe slightly strange
00:36:21.100 or at least
00:36:22.420 like a little more intense
00:36:23.400 than you would expect
00:36:24.040 for Best Buy.
00:36:24.500 but educate,
00:36:27.600 train,
00:36:28.000 inspire?
00:36:28.920 Sure.
00:36:29.300 I mean,
00:36:29.460 that's any HR presentation
00:36:31.240 will probably include
00:36:32.280 that phrase somewhere.
00:36:34.480 And so that's what they go.
00:36:35.960 They go from something
00:36:36.580 strong,
00:36:37.180 militaristic,
00:36:37.900 something that has
00:36:38.600 real heft to it,
00:36:40.520 something meaningful
00:36:41.240 to just like sanitized
00:36:43.120 HR language.
00:36:45.780 And that's what we find
00:36:46.960 happening all across
00:36:47.780 the country.
00:36:48.800 Now,
00:36:49.260 will this change
00:36:49.800 affect anything?
00:36:50.640 Will you notice
00:36:51.300 any difference
00:36:52.520 in your day-to-day life
00:36:53.380 because West Point
00:36:54.080 changed the language
00:36:54.800 on its mission statement?
00:36:55.820 No,
00:36:56.260 obviously not.
00:36:57.440 The point,
00:36:58.120 again,
00:36:58.340 is what it represents,
00:37:00.000 what it's a symptom of.
00:37:02.160 And that is the flight away
00:37:03.860 from duty,
00:37:04.760 honor,
00:37:04.940 and patriotism.
00:37:05.940 The rejection
00:37:06.700 of those values,
00:37:07.760 duty in particular.
00:37:09.300 Now,
00:37:09.560 patriotism,
00:37:11.040 obviously we live in a society
00:37:12.500 deficient in patriotism.
00:37:13.880 We live in a country
00:37:14.440 deficient in patriotism.
00:37:15.700 We know a lot of people
00:37:16.620 who live in this country
00:37:17.360 hate this country.
00:37:18.620 And that's a major problem.
00:37:20.700 But I think most people
00:37:21.800 in theory
00:37:22.520 would claim
00:37:23.960 that they are patriotic,
00:37:26.500 right?
00:37:26.740 Even now.
00:37:28.000 And many of them aren't.
00:37:29.380 Many of them are the opposite
00:37:30.420 of patriotic.
00:37:31.120 But if you were to ask
00:37:32.460 most people,
00:37:33.620 I think,
00:37:34.580 and you were to say,
00:37:35.180 are you a patriotic?
00:37:36.220 They would probably say yes.
00:37:37.880 So patriotism lives on
00:37:39.620 in name,
00:37:40.640 which doesn't mean much,
00:37:42.960 obviously.
00:37:44.160 And honor is another one.
00:37:45.440 People don't talk about honor,
00:37:46.540 but if you ask them about it
00:37:48.620 and you said,
00:37:49.980 is it important to act honorably?
00:37:52.560 They would probably say yes.
00:37:54.880 Even if they then proceed
00:37:56.100 to act dishonorably,
00:37:57.340 they would still say yes.
00:37:58.780 So those two values
00:37:59.920 are on life support,
00:38:01.000 if not already dead.
00:38:03.000 But they aren't rejected outright,
00:38:05.000 I would argue,
00:38:07.040 in the same way
00:38:08.180 that duty is.
00:38:10.480 And many in our culture
00:38:11.680 are conditioned
00:38:12.520 to reject the very idea
00:38:15.220 of duty,
00:38:16.220 to deny
00:38:17.260 that they have any
00:38:18.800 duty to anyone
00:38:19.660 or anything.
00:38:23.380 And so that's what
00:38:25.040 this is really symptomatic of,
00:38:26.180 is that these are just,
00:38:28.220 it's actually upsetting
00:38:29.860 to people
00:38:30.460 when you talk about duty.
00:38:33.060 They don't want to hear about it.
00:38:34.800 They don't want to hear
00:38:35.220 about responsibility.
00:38:37.240 The idea that they have
00:38:38.260 a responsibility
00:38:38.920 to anything,
00:38:40.800 that they have,
00:38:41.500 you know,
00:38:41.820 duty,
00:38:42.340 obligation,
00:38:42.920 responsibility,
00:38:43.480 any of these,
00:38:43.900 these are obviously
00:38:44.620 all synonyms.
00:38:48.920 And for a lot of people,
00:38:51.100 the idea that they have
00:38:53.000 an obligation
00:38:53.680 at all,
00:38:57.580 especially that they
00:38:59.340 inherently
00:38:59.940 have certain obligations.
00:39:01.840 They reject that.
00:39:04.300 And even in a context
00:39:05.860 where you would think
00:39:06.820 that everyone would agree,
00:39:08.400 well, of course,
00:39:08.740 you have obligations there.
00:39:11.260 Like,
00:39:11.740 you're going to join
00:39:12.220 the military,
00:39:13.200 obviously,
00:39:13.680 there are obligations.
00:39:15.720 You go get a job
00:39:16.620 at any company.
00:39:17.220 If you work at Best Buy,
00:39:18.580 there are obligations.
00:39:20.980 But even in those contexts,
00:39:23.420 if you talk to people
00:39:24.680 about obligations,
00:39:25.580 they get,
00:39:26.240 well,
00:39:26.380 don't tell me
00:39:27.240 what I can do.
00:39:27.800 I can do it.
00:39:28.120 I want to express myself.
00:39:29.020 I want to be free
00:39:29.560 to be me.
00:39:32.220 And the problem,
00:39:33.380 the problem,
00:39:34.260 which is not really
00:39:35.780 a problem,
00:39:36.280 but why people see
00:39:38.280 obligation as a problem
00:39:39.380 is that,
00:39:40.820 well,
00:39:41.140 a lot of people are lazy.
00:39:42.480 Pretty simple.
00:39:43.260 They don't want to
00:39:43.560 have to do things.
00:39:45.340 But also,
00:39:45.920 it requires you
00:39:46.440 to subordinate
00:39:47.060 in some ways
00:39:48.020 your personal expression.
00:39:51.700 you cannot do
00:39:56.500 and say
00:39:57.140 everything that you want
00:39:58.740 all the time,
00:39:59.960 especially in the face
00:40:00.820 of obligations
00:40:01.400 because the obligation
00:40:02.240 comes along
00:40:03.640 and says,
00:40:04.080 okay,
00:40:04.520 well,
00:40:05.360 you might want to do
00:40:06.100 this thing over here.
00:40:07.000 You might want to express this.
00:40:08.060 You might want to be this way.
00:40:09.360 But here's a responsibility
00:40:10.600 we need you to fulfill.
00:40:12.060 And you just got to get it done.
00:40:15.080 And if it's not possible
00:40:16.480 for you to do that
00:40:17.260 while still expressing yourself
00:40:18.340 and being yourself
00:40:18.980 and being an individual,
00:40:19.680 then too bad.
00:40:21.260 You still need to do it.
00:40:22.860 And that's the part
00:40:23.700 that makes obligation,
00:40:25.600 duty,
00:40:25.960 responsibility,
00:40:27.540 anathema
00:40:27.960 in our culture.
00:40:30.620 Which is all the more reason
00:40:31.740 why you would want
00:40:32.760 an institution like West Point
00:40:33.760 to emphasize it.
00:40:36.760 Right?
00:40:37.220 They should be making
00:40:38.180 new mission statements
00:40:39.080 that emphasize
00:40:40.780 these points even more,
00:40:42.100 if anything.
00:40:43.600 But of course,
00:40:44.040 they're going
00:40:44.340 the other way.
00:40:46.380 Let's get to
00:40:46.960 the,
00:40:48.880 what are we getting to?
00:40:49.680 Oh,
00:40:49.880 was well strong.
00:40:54.180 Keeping windshields clean
00:40:55.140 is always a pain,
00:40:56.140 especially with all the rain
00:40:57.000 we've been getting here
00:40:57.620 in Nashville.
00:40:58.340 That's why I am so grateful
00:40:59.600 to have Windshield Wow.
00:41:00.940 Windshield Wow
00:41:01.420 is an innovative
00:41:02.120 windshield cleaning device
00:41:03.140 that uses two magnetic
00:41:04.200 cleaning paddles,
00:41:05.220 one on the outside
00:41:05.820 and one on the inside
00:41:06.560 of your car
00:41:07.000 to clean both sides
00:41:08.200 of your windshield
00:41:08.740 all from the outside.
00:41:10.280 Being able to clean
00:41:10.980 both the front
00:41:11.520 and the inside window
00:41:12.540 and at the same time
00:41:13.720 is a game changer.
00:41:14.660 I wish I had one
00:41:15.100 of these years ago.
00:41:16.280 Windshield Wow
00:41:16.720 applies firm cleaning pressure
00:41:18.340 and is super thin
00:41:19.160 to get into those
00:41:19.760 tight dashboard areas.
00:41:21.000 Seriously,
00:41:21.320 all you got to do
00:41:21.920 is push around
00:41:22.520 the outside paddle
00:41:23.300 and the inside
00:41:23.880 falls automatically,
00:41:24.900 leaving your windshield
00:41:25.540 squeaky clean.
00:41:27.020 Washing your car
00:41:27.540 windshield enhances
00:41:28.400 visibility and driving
00:41:29.400 safety and helps
00:41:30.020 preserve the integrity
00:41:31.020 of your vehicle's
00:41:31.780 glass and paint work.
00:41:33.160 It's a simple yet
00:41:34.180 essential aspect
00:41:35.100 of car maintenance
00:41:35.760 that shouldn't be overlooked.

00:41:44.920 A couple of comments here.
00:41:45.980 We talked yesterday
00:41:46.600 about birth control
00:41:47.720 and some women
00:41:48.400 are awakening
00:41:51.480 to the dangers
00:41:53.640 of birth control
00:41:54.280 and deciding
00:41:55.140 not to use it anymore.
00:41:56.120 This is a big crisis.
00:41:57.660 Big crisis for the media
00:41:59.940 and for the left
00:42:00.820 because as we know
00:42:01.960 the birth control pill,
00:42:03.140 as I said yesterday,
00:42:04.100 these forces have been
00:42:06.400 for decades
00:42:06.860 waging a war on the family.
00:42:07.980 The birth control pill
00:42:08.860 was essentially
00:42:09.660 their nuclear bomb
00:42:11.600 in that war
00:42:13.220 against the family.
00:42:15.340 Here's a comment that says,
00:42:15.960 well, I hope the men
00:42:16.560 are smart enough
00:42:17.180 to use protection
00:42:18.040 and or get a vasectomy
00:42:19.360 so these women
00:42:19.920 can't trap them.
00:42:21.300 So sad,
00:42:21.980 I feel bad for the men
00:42:22.820 that will be told
00:42:23.480 their spouse is on birth control
00:42:25.100 and they aren't.
00:42:28.400 Here's a,
00:42:30.540 just want to say
00:42:31.760 one quick thing about this
00:42:32.660 that if you are
00:42:34.620 worried
00:42:36.760 about being trapped
00:42:38.600 quote unquote
00:42:39.180 with the
00:42:40.640 natural consequences
00:42:42.180 of a particular act
00:42:43.760 then
00:42:45.300 don't engage
00:42:46.840 in that act.
00:42:48.160 If one of the
00:42:49.260 natural consequences
00:42:50.340 of an act,
00:42:51.040 in fact,
00:42:51.460 consequences that have
00:42:52.380 been borne out
00:42:53.360 billions of times
00:42:55.380 in human history,
00:42:56.040 if you are worried
00:42:58.020 about those
00:42:58.520 results,
00:43:00.520 a consequence even
00:43:01.280 has a negative connotation
00:43:02.200 I don't like,
00:43:02.780 but results,
00:43:04.200 if you're worried
00:43:06.040 about the natural
00:43:06.620 results of a particular
00:43:08.440 act,
00:43:09.400 so worried about it
00:43:10.620 that you would call
00:43:11.060 those results a trap,
00:43:12.880 then don't engage
00:43:14.160 in the act.
00:43:16.720 So if a woman
00:43:17.660 can trap you
00:43:18.580 with a baby,
00:43:19.400 trap you,
00:43:20.460 then that's a woman
00:43:21.580 that you should not
00:43:22.240 be having sex with.
00:43:24.680 And if you do,
00:43:25.560 you're not trapped.
00:43:26.600 It's not a trap.
00:43:28.700 What,
00:43:29.140 were you actually,
00:43:30.000 did she like
00:43:31.160 lay out like a booby
00:43:33.520 trapped somewhere?
00:43:34.760 Pardon the pun.
00:43:35.860 And,
00:43:36.200 you know,
00:43:36.700 maybe set like a,
00:43:37.540 dig a hole somewhere
00:43:38.200 and you,
00:43:38.660 you wandered in
00:43:39.840 and you fell in the
00:43:40.380 holes,
00:43:40.640 she trapped you
00:43:41.180 and then,
00:43:42.280 is that,
00:43:42.460 is that what happened?
00:43:44.460 No,
00:43:44.820 I think it was a
00:43:45.320 deliberate act
00:43:45.960 that you engaged in.
00:43:48.480 And so,
00:43:49.260 you know,
00:43:49.500 if you don't want
00:43:49.800 to be trapped
00:43:50.180 in that way,
00:43:50.640 it's a really easy
00:43:51.140 way to avoid it.
00:43:55.780 And,
00:43:56.220 you know,
00:43:56.340 the easiest way
00:43:56.840 to avoid it
00:43:57.360 is to only
00:43:58.680 have sex with a woman
00:43:59.640 who you would
00:44:01.220 want to have a baby
00:44:02.060 with.
00:44:02.300 And in a context
00:44:04.300 where having a baby
00:44:05.160 would not,
00:44:05.840 from your perspective,
00:44:06.580 destroy your life.
00:44:09.380 So,
00:44:09.940 you know,
00:44:10.240 this is just back
00:44:11.100 to me being
00:44:11.900 super old-fashioned
00:44:13.000 and saying,
00:44:14.780 find a woman,
00:44:15.700 get married,
00:44:16.800 and then you don't
00:44:17.800 have to worry
00:44:18.140 about being trapped
00:44:19.080 with a,
00:44:20.200 with a baby,
00:44:21.040 or at least
00:44:21.340 you shouldn't be.
00:44:23.440 Um,
00:44:24.860 moving on to
00:44:25.540 cauliflower ice cream.
00:44:27.140 One says,
00:44:27.760 before I dismiss it,
00:44:28.760 I got to see the
00:44:29.280 nutritional contents
00:44:30.120 on that veggie cold
00:44:31.020 ice cream
00:44:31.440 might be a good
00:44:32.020 actual ice cream
00:44:32.760 replacement for
00:44:33.400 someone trying
00:44:33.900 to cut back
00:44:34.620 on their
00:44:35.840 sugar intake.
00:44:38.520 Um,
00:44:39.540 someone else says,
00:44:40.220 but cashew ice cream
00:44:41.120 is even better
00:44:41.720 than regular.
00:44:43.660 No,
00:44:44.100 it's not,
00:44:44.420 this is all just,
00:44:45.320 I've never had
00:44:45.840 cashew ice cream.
00:44:47.180 I,
00:44:47.480 I have been,
00:44:48.140 I'm not going to say
00:44:48.520 fooled,
00:44:49.000 but I have,
00:44:49.660 I have tested
00:44:50.560 these claims
00:44:51.140 many times
00:44:51.820 where various people,
00:44:54.240 including my own
00:44:55.360 wife,
00:44:56.120 has,
00:44:57.320 has insisted
00:44:58.200 that,
00:44:59.100 oh,
00:44:59.220 here's a substitute
00:44:59.940 version of this
00:45:01.200 dairy product
00:45:01.780 that it tastes,
00:45:03.100 you wouldn't even
00:45:03.560 tell the difference.
00:45:04.140 You couldn't tell
00:45:04.580 the difference.
00:45:05.100 I've been,
00:45:05.400 so many times
00:45:05.960 I've been told this
00:45:06.520 and I said,
00:45:06.840 really,
00:45:07.140 I can't tell the
00:45:07.580 difference.
00:45:07.820 Okay,
00:45:08.000 I try it
00:45:08.480 and every single
00:45:09.600 time it's the
00:45:10.040 worst experience
00:45:10.540 of my life.
00:45:11.580 My wife,
00:45:12.040 just,
00:45:12.320 just,
00:45:13.220 this is bringing
00:45:13.700 back recent
00:45:14.500 trauma for me.
00:45:16.140 My wife,
00:45:16.800 just last week
00:45:17.640 came home
00:45:19.340 with
00:45:20.880 not just one box,
00:45:22.880 but multiple boxes
00:45:24.060 of plant butter
00:45:25.740 and I said,
00:45:27.240 what,
00:45:27.420 why?
00:45:30.540 Did they not,
00:45:31.260 did you look
00:45:31.880 in every store
00:45:32.720 in the greater
00:45:33.700 Nashville area
00:45:34.420 and they didn't
00:45:34.980 have butter?
00:45:35.880 Is that what
00:45:36.280 happened?
00:45:37.120 Because even
00:45:37.640 if that happened,
00:45:38.420 then as tragic
00:45:39.540 as it is,
00:45:39.980 I guess we're
00:45:40.300 just not going
00:45:40.720 to have butter.
00:45:41.320 Why would you
00:45:41.860 bring this
00:45:42.540 substance
00:45:43.120 into our home?
00:45:45.380 And she didn't
00:45:45.740 have a good
00:45:46.000 explanation.
00:45:46.640 I don't know,
00:45:47.220 but she did.
00:45:47.940 And so now
00:45:48.440 every time
00:45:49.160 we're eating
00:45:51.580 anything that
00:45:52.280 involves butter,
00:45:52.900 I always have to
00:45:53.340 ask,
00:45:53.660 like,
00:45:53.800 this is real
00:45:54.220 butter,
00:45:54.500 right?
00:45:55.780 I have to be
00:45:56.340 very careful now.
00:45:57.160 I have to walk
00:45:57.740 around on eggshells
00:45:58.800 to make sure I
00:45:59.180 don't accidentally
00:45:59.640 consume plant
00:46:00.380 butter.
00:46:03.300 It's a real
00:46:04.160 problem.
00:46:04.940 Matt,
00:46:05.140 do you really
00:46:05.440 think the dairy
00:46:05.960 industry would
00:46:06.580 hold if they
00:46:07.540 were transparent
00:46:08.260 about their
00:46:08.640 product source?
00:46:09.580 What sounds
00:46:09.960 better,
00:46:10.300 food derived
00:46:10.920 from an animal
00:46:11.460 that lives
00:46:11.840 in its own
00:46:12.280 s***,
00:46:12.660 depressed all
00:46:13.160 the time,
00:46:13.600 pumped with
00:46:13.920 hormones and
00:46:14.440 forced to be
00:46:14.860 pregnant,
00:46:15.340 or a food
00:46:16.200 derived from a
00:46:16.960 plant that
00:46:17.400 looks funny?
00:46:18.620 I love you,
00:46:19.100 Matt,
00:46:19.220 and I can tell
00:46:19.600 you're sprinkling
00:46:20.060 a bit of satire
00:46:20.680 in,
00:46:21.360 but you're wrong
00:46:22.160 on this one.
00:46:22.640 What sounds
00:46:25.200 better in that
00:46:25.720 scenario?
00:46:26.280 The former.
00:46:28.180 Yeah,
00:46:28.440 I'll take the
00:46:28.880 depressed animal
00:46:29.480 living in its own
00:46:30.020 s*** over the
00:46:30.860 plant.
00:46:32.220 Absolutely.
00:46:35.800 I don't know
00:46:36.220 what to tell you.
00:46:37.880 And also,
00:46:39.220 like,
00:46:41.020 I don't know if
00:46:42.560 the cows are
00:46:43.000 depressed.
00:46:43.420 I think you're
00:46:43.720 just assuming
00:46:44.200 that.
00:46:45.080 We don't know
00:46:45.500 if the cows
00:46:45.840 are depressed.
00:46:46.400 How do you
00:46:46.700 know that the
00:46:47.080 cows are depressed
00:46:47.660 on a dairy farm?
00:46:48.600 We don't know
00:46:48.920 that.
00:46:50.060 You can assume
00:46:50.820 it,
00:46:51.380 but you've never
00:46:52.240 talked to a cow
00:46:52.780 to hear that.
00:46:54.060 Maybe they feel
00:46:54.860 like they're
00:46:55.420 living out their
00:46:56.140 purpose.
00:46:57.760 I mean,
00:46:57.920 I would argue
00:46:58.300 that the greatest
00:46:58.820 purpose for a cow,
00:46:59.500 the greatest
00:46:59.940 purpose for a cow
00:47:00.720 is to provide
00:47:02.860 milk to human
00:47:03.720 beings,
00:47:04.280 and then ultimately
00:47:05.800 to become a
00:47:06.380 hamburger.
00:47:07.440 That's the great,
00:47:07.980 that's the great,
00:47:08.640 I mean,
00:47:09.760 they could be
00:47:10.640 thrilled with that.
00:47:11.600 This could be
00:47:12.460 something like this,
00:47:13.280 they are fulfilling,
00:47:14.660 it's their highest
00:47:15.480 calling.
00:47:17.200 So that could be
00:47:17.900 the way they see
00:47:18.400 it.
00:47:19.120 We don't really
00:47:19.460 know.
00:47:20.540 But what I will
00:47:21.360 say is that
00:47:22.260 whether cows are
00:47:25.340 depressed or not,
00:47:26.180 I don't want them
00:47:26.920 to be depressed.
00:47:28.760 Like,
00:47:29.100 if the cows are
00:47:30.320 depressed,
00:47:30.760 it's unfortunate.
00:47:34.740 I don't think it
00:47:35.540 affects the taste
00:47:36.360 of the dairy product
00:47:37.940 though.
00:47:38.360 I don't,
00:47:39.660 like if I were
00:47:40.140 to give you
00:47:40.840 ice cream
00:47:43.180 that was,
00:47:44.860 that comes from
00:47:45.840 a,
00:47:46.660 was produced
00:47:47.280 from milk
00:47:48.040 from a depressed
00:47:48.680 cow,
00:47:49.620 and then
00:47:49.880 I were
00:47:50.000 to give you
00:47:50.220 ice cream
00:47:50.600 that comes
00:47:51.260 from a cow
00:47:52.380 that was
00:47:52.800 very optimistic
00:47:53.520 and hopeful
00:47:53.960 about the future,
00:47:55.100 I don't think
00:47:55.700 you'd be able
00:47:56.000 to tell the
00:47:56.300 difference.
00:47:57.760 I,
00:47:57.960 in fact,
00:47:58.200 I guarantee
00:47:58.700 you,
00:47:59.000 you couldn't.
00:48:02.140 So,
00:48:02.700 it's all,
00:48:02.980 it's all
00:48:03.220 delicious,
00:48:03.600 either way,
00:48:04.020 depressed,
00:48:04.980 depressed,
00:48:06.820 happy,
00:48:07.180 whatever it is.
00:48:07.860 it's all,
00:48:10.220 it's all
00:48:10.560 delicious to me.
00:48:12.580 And,
00:48:12.840 you know,
00:48:13.240 that's the
00:48:13.680 silver lining
00:48:14.120 here.
00:48:15.080 The most requested
00:48:15.640 item from Jeremy's
00:48:16.600 is now back in stock.
00:48:17.700 Jeremy's deodorant
00:48:18.480 keeps the unpleasant
00:48:19.180 smell of woke
00:48:20.020 out of your daily
00:48:20.680 routine.
00:48:21.340 Jeremy's sticks
00:48:22.020 to the ingredients
00:48:22.760 you can trust
00:48:23.400 and pronounce
00:48:23.880 like coconut oil
00:48:25.020 and shea,
00:48:25.800 I don't know,
00:48:26.100 is it shea butter
00:48:26.720 or shea butter?
00:48:27.320 I actually can't
00:48:27.920 pronounce that.
00:48:29.200 Is it shea butter?
00:48:30.460 Shea butter.
00:48:31.900 Anyway,
00:48:32.700 ingredients that
00:48:33.740 make you smell great
00:48:34.440 but are not toxic
00:48:35.420 to masculinity
00:48:35.960 with no room
00:48:36.860 for aluminum,
00:48:38.300 forget it,
00:48:39.740 phthalates.
00:48:41.300 Why would you
00:48:41.820 even put that
00:48:42.220 in there?
00:48:42.580 Why would you
00:48:42.900 put that?
00:48:43.340 No one can put it
00:48:44.060 P-H-T-H,
00:48:45.180 no one knows
00:48:45.500 how to pronounce
00:48:45.860 that sound.
00:48:46.940 Nobody does
00:48:47.500 and you put that
00:48:47.900 in the copy.
00:48:50.020 Phthalates.
00:48:51.920 That wasn't that
00:48:52.520 hard actually.
00:48:53.380 We care about
00:48:53.780 what goes on
00:48:54.420 in your body,
00:48:55.160 that's why,
00:48:55.980 this sounds creepy,
00:48:57.620 I just,
00:48:57.940 I hate everything
00:48:58.400 about this.
00:48:58.960 We're just gonna
00:48:59.160 keep going,
00:48:59.560 it doesn't matter.
00:49:00.700 We care about
00:49:01.600 what goes on
00:49:02.220 your,
00:49:02.400 oh,
00:49:02.560 what goes on,
00:49:03.660 we care about
00:49:04.120 what goes on
00:49:04.720 your body,
00:49:05.160 not what goes
00:49:05.800 on in your body.
00:49:07.260 Either way,
00:49:07.800 it sounds a little
00:49:08.240 creepy.
00:49:09.140 No greasy surprises
00:49:10.100 and no residue.
00:49:11.340 It's what you requested
00:49:12.220 and it's back in stock.
00:49:13.320 Go to jeremysrazors.com
00:49:14.840 to get yours today
00:49:15.580 if they even
00:49:16.180 put this copy
00:49:17.180 in the show,
00:49:18.760 which they probably want.
00:49:19.560 Now let's get to
00:49:20.140 our daily cancellation.
00:49:27.500 Minnesota Attorney General
00:49:28.580 Keith Ellison
00:49:29.140 was interviewed
00:49:29.600 on Al Sharpton's
00:49:30.500 MSNBC show
00:49:31.320 on Sunday
00:49:31.760 and it may come
00:49:32.480 as shocking news
00:49:33.140 that Al Sharpton
00:49:33.680 still has an MSNBC show
00:49:35.020 that he ever had one.
00:49:35.940 He is,
00:49:36.280 after all,
00:49:36.540 the least talented
00:49:37.300 broadcaster
00:49:37.880 in the history
00:49:38.320 of American broadcasting.
00:49:39.700 He makes Don Lemon
00:49:40.640 look like a broadcasting
00:49:41.740 legend by comparison,
00:49:43.040 yet he has had a show
00:49:43.880 on the network for years,
00:49:44.920 DEI in action yet again.
00:49:46.820 In any case,
00:49:47.540 there's one portion
00:49:48.720 of this Keith Ellison
00:49:49.700 interview that has
00:49:50.920 gotten some attention today.
00:49:53.380 Let's watch it.
00:49:55.400 Well,
00:49:56.000 I am a prosecutor,
00:49:56.940 as you know,
00:49:58.160 and if you are
00:49:59.120 a victim of a crime,
00:50:00.640 then the crime rate
00:50:01.760 is intolerable
00:50:02.980 and I understand
00:50:03.660 that we have
00:50:04.900 a duty and obligation
00:50:05.960 to protect everyone
00:50:07.460 and make sure
00:50:08.000 justice is done.
00:50:09.440 But statistically,
00:50:10.460 it is true
00:50:11.100 that crime is
00:50:11.900 dramatically down
00:50:13.600 and some of the
00:50:15.360 right-wing prescriptions
00:50:16.780 for how to deal
00:50:17.500 with crime
00:50:18.000 are just wrong
00:50:19.280 and are going to
00:50:19.880 bring us back
00:50:20.480 to the bad old days.
00:50:22.520 Okay,
00:50:22.940 let's pause it there
00:50:23.620 for a moment.
00:50:24.140 We haven't even gotten
00:50:24.780 to the really crazy part yet,
00:50:25.960 but let's deal
00:50:26.580 with this first claim
00:50:27.540 first,
00:50:28.460 which is Ellison
00:50:29.160 saying that the crime
00:50:30.220 rate is actually down
00:50:31.600 and that Republican
00:50:32.360 prescriptions
00:50:32.820 to deal with crime
00:50:33.800 are just wrong
00:50:34.760 and will bring us
00:50:35.320 back to the bad old days.
00:50:36.340 And by bad old days,
00:50:37.240 he means the days
00:50:38.020 when we put,
00:50:39.040 you know,
00:50:39.200 when we did radical things
00:50:40.320 like put criminals
00:50:41.100 in jail.
00:50:42.400 He doesn't want to see
00:50:43.180 that happen again.
00:50:43.980 But what about this idea
00:50:44.840 that crime is down?
00:50:45.740 Well,
00:50:45.860 Ellison is not the only one
00:50:47.660 saying this.
00:50:48.800 It's a major Democrat
00:50:49.760 talking point,
00:50:50.460 which means by extension
00:50:51.340 that it is a major
00:50:52.060 media talking point.
00:50:53.680 No surprise there.
00:50:54.700 It's an election year
00:50:55.500 and they want to
00:50:56.140 desperately convince voters
00:50:57.360 that things are going
00:50:58.220 swimmingly well.
00:50:59.160 Yet,
00:50:59.400 even as Ellison
00:51:00.020 and Democrat party
00:51:00.700 and the media assure us
00:51:01.660 that crime rates
00:51:02.640 are dropping,
00:51:03.860 many Americans
00:51:04.400 look around their communities
00:51:05.360 and they see something
00:51:06.200 that does not comport
00:51:06.980 with the rosy picture
00:51:07.900 that these propagandists
00:51:08.940 are painting.
00:51:10.100 They tell us
00:51:10.760 that crime is going down,
00:51:11.960 crime is under control,
00:51:12.760 but we can see
00:51:13.220 with our own eyes
00:51:13.800 the rampant shoplifting,
00:51:14.980 drug use,
00:51:15.460 property crime,
00:51:16.080 violent assaults,
00:51:17.160 zombified drug addicts
00:51:18.200 wandering around
00:51:18.900 in the street
00:51:19.340 and so on.
00:51:20.420 And they tell us
00:51:21.500 that crime is going down,
00:51:23.480 but we can see
00:51:24.120 that companies
00:51:24.660 like Walgreens
00:51:25.480 that can survive anywhere,
00:51:27.920 that could probably
00:51:28.360 find a way to survive
00:51:29.260 in Antarctica
00:51:29.800 or on the moon
00:51:30.700 yet are being driven
00:51:32.360 out of major cities
00:51:33.320 because of crime.
00:51:34.040 So how do we explain that?
00:51:35.100 Well,
00:51:36.280 the short answer
00:51:36.960 is that Keith Ellison
00:51:37.740 and company
00:51:38.180 are a bunch of low-down,
00:51:39.380 no-good,
00:51:40.200 dirty, filthy liars.
00:51:41.460 The longer answer
00:51:42.260 is that yes,
00:51:43.620 according to statistics,
00:51:44.800 many types of crime
00:51:45.640 are trending down,
00:51:46.600 but that's only happening
00:51:47.380 on paper,
00:51:48.660 not out in reality.
00:51:49.800 It's happening
00:51:50.160 in the books,
00:51:51.520 but the books
00:51:51.980 have been cooked.
00:51:53.440 It's not hard to see
00:51:54.240 how this has been done.
00:51:54.980 Many cities
00:51:55.380 have simply stopped
00:51:56.200 prosecuting
00:51:57.000 many sorts of crimes,
00:51:57.980 especially property crimes.
00:51:59.480 That's how they perform
00:52:00.200 this magic trick.
00:52:01.100 You know,
00:52:01.220 if you don't prosecute crime,
00:52:02.200 then there will be less crime,
00:52:03.400 at least on paper.
00:52:04.860 It's kind of like
00:52:05.340 how you might manufacture
00:52:06.400 a dramatic dip
00:52:07.280 in heart disease
00:52:07.980 in a given year
00:52:08.800 by simply refusing
00:52:09.700 to diagnose
00:52:10.540 many cases of heart disease.
00:52:12.320 If heart disease
00:52:12.820 isn't being diagnosed
00:52:13.660 as much this year
00:52:14.480 as it was last year,
00:52:15.280 even if there's actually
00:52:16.020 more of it this year
00:52:16.920 than last year,
00:52:17.760 then just like that,
00:52:18.980 heart disease
00:52:19.380 has gone down
00:52:20.420 statistically,
00:52:21.660 like magic.
00:52:22.380 Now,
00:52:23.180 supposedly,
00:52:23.740 they do still prosecute
00:52:24.800 violent crime,
00:52:25.520 and yet there has been
00:52:26.200 a supposed drop
00:52:27.360 in those sorts of crimes
00:52:28.560 as well.
00:52:29.520 And that may be true,
00:52:30.400 but keep in mind
00:52:31.000 that 2020 was the worst year
00:52:32.460 for violent crime
00:52:33.100 in decades.
00:52:33.900 If there's been a drop,
00:52:34.820 it's dropping
00:52:35.280 from those highs.
00:52:37.160 That doesn't mean
00:52:37.580 that the violent crime rate
00:52:38.440 is low
00:52:39.040 or that it isn't still
00:52:40.180 a major problem.
00:52:41.000 Also,
00:52:41.240 the fact is that
00:52:41.780 many of these
00:52:42.280 woke Soros DAs
00:52:43.440 are not exactly zealous
00:52:45.040 about prosecuting
00:52:45.800 violent crime either.
00:52:46.780 So,
00:52:47.500 even those statistics
00:52:48.340 probably aren't reliable.
00:52:50.580 These are all
00:52:51.300 things to remember
00:52:52.420 as you listen
00:52:53.900 to propagandists
00:52:54.620 like Keith Ellison.
00:52:56.200 And now that we've done that
00:52:57.220 and we've gotten that
00:52:57.720 out of the way,
00:52:58.200 let's get to the really
00:52:58.900 crazy part,
00:52:59.780 or the crazier part.
00:53:01.460 Anyway,
00:53:01.840 here it is.
00:53:03.380 My thought is
00:53:04.360 that we need to continue
00:53:06.040 to be aggressive
00:53:08.440 about,
00:53:09.000 you know,
00:53:09.280 protecting people,
00:53:10.320 no doubt,
00:53:11.200 prosecuting crime,
00:53:12.520 murder happens,
00:53:13.580 rape happens,
00:53:14.900 criminal sexual assault,
00:53:16.780 and human trafficking.
00:53:18.040 These things happen.
00:53:18.700 We will continue
00:53:19.240 to do our job,
00:53:20.060 but we've also
00:53:20.900 got to go upstream.
00:53:21.740 We've got to make sure
00:53:23.200 that the automobiles
00:53:25.120 are not so easy
00:53:26.100 to steal
00:53:26.700 so that they're
00:53:27.440 attempting attractive
00:53:29.060 nuisance for young people.
00:53:30.920 And,
00:53:31.080 you know,
00:53:31.260 right now we are
00:53:32.200 investigating two
00:53:32.940 major automakers
00:53:33.760 because their cars
00:53:34.780 are dramatically
00:53:36.000 too easy to steal
00:53:37.580 for young people.
00:53:39.780 Dramatically too easy
00:53:40.900 to steal.
00:53:41.640 And I'm not one
00:53:42.560 to unironically
00:53:43.560 accuse anybody
00:53:44.300 of victim blaming,
00:53:45.360 but if victim blaming
00:53:46.160 is anything,
00:53:47.120 it's what you just
00:53:47.840 heard there.
00:53:48.800 That was the car theft
00:53:50.160 version of
00:53:51.180 you shouldn't have
00:53:52.080 worn that short skirt
00:53:53.360 if you didn't want
00:53:54.020 that to happen.
00:53:54.620 Like,
00:53:54.800 it's exactly
00:53:55.260 the same kind
00:53:55.900 of logic.
00:53:56.420 Now,
00:53:57.220 if you didn't know
00:53:57.900 any better
00:53:58.460 when you heard him
00:53:59.420 say we need
00:54:00.020 to go upstream,
00:54:01.020 you may have
00:54:01.460 expected him
00:54:01.960 to talk about
00:54:02.440 things that are
00:54:03.040 actually upstream
00:54:03.820 of the crime problem.
00:54:04.560 Things like
00:54:04.900 the collapse
00:54:05.280 of the family,
00:54:05.900 fatherless homes,
00:54:06.900 unwed pregnancy,
00:54:07.620 divorce.
00:54:08.500 He's right.
00:54:09.080 You know,
00:54:09.440 we do need
00:54:09.780 to go upstream.
00:54:10.640 That's what you
00:54:11.240 find upstream
00:54:12.280 if you go upstream.
00:54:12.960 Instead,
00:54:13.380 he didn't go upstream
00:54:14.020 though.
00:54:14.320 Instead,
00:54:14.540 he actually went
00:54:14.960 downstream,
00:54:16.140 way downstream,
00:54:16.780 and then veered
00:54:17.520 off into
00:54:17.880 some small
00:54:18.460 irrelevant tributary.
00:54:19.960 He claims
00:54:20.860 that cars
00:54:21.800 are getting stolen
00:54:22.840 because they're
00:54:23.300 too easy to steal
00:54:24.060 which creates
00:54:24.460 a temptation
00:54:25.200 for young people
00:54:26.220 and here are
00:54:28.340 a few problems
00:54:29.100 with that.
00:54:29.400 First of all,
00:54:31.200 blaming the car
00:54:31.800 manufacturers
00:54:32.380 for the fact
00:54:32.860 that people
00:54:33.140 are stealing
00:54:33.640 the cars
00:54:34.460 is like
00:54:35.980 if you got
00:54:36.520 mugged
00:54:36.940 on the street
00:54:37.460 corner
00:54:37.780 and then you
00:54:38.480 turned around
00:54:38.940 and sued
00:54:39.440 the company
00:54:39.880 that manufactured
00:54:40.700 your wallet.
00:54:42.160 It's totally
00:54:43.120 outlandish.
00:54:44.760 Second,
00:54:45.600 car theft
00:54:46.100 might be a crime
00:54:47.220 of opportunity
00:54:47.740 but it's not one
00:54:48.620 that someone
00:54:49.000 is tempted
00:54:49.600 into in the
00:54:50.660 moment most times.
00:54:52.560 Like,
00:54:52.820 you aren't going
00:54:53.180 to have some
00:54:53.920 otherwise good kid,
00:54:55.180 some straight-A
00:54:55.740 student who works
00:54:56.400 part-time job
00:54:57.080 at Chick-fil-A,
00:54:58.140 some well-behaved,
00:54:59.160 well-raised young man
00:55:00.120 who, you know,
00:55:00.840 happens to see
00:55:01.500 a very stealable car
00:55:02.900 parked along the street
00:55:03.780 as he's walking by
00:55:04.960 and then feels
00:55:06.180 overcome with the urge
00:55:07.380 to abscond with it.
00:55:09.080 I myself
00:55:09.740 wasn't even a
00:55:10.400 straight-A student
00:55:10.960 or particularly
00:55:11.540 well-behaved
00:55:12.060 but I never felt
00:55:13.500 the temptation
00:55:13.920 to steal a car.
00:55:14.660 It's not like
00:55:15.020 when you're
00:55:15.320 trying to follow
00:55:16.100 a strict diet
00:55:16.780 and then somebody
00:55:17.200 brings cupcakes
00:55:18.020 into work.
00:55:19.060 That's the sort of
00:55:19.760 thing that you
00:55:20.140 could be tempted
00:55:20.660 into but
00:55:21.380 if you're stealing
00:55:22.540 a car,
00:55:23.060 it's because
00:55:23.380 either you were
00:55:24.040 out looking
00:55:24.500 for cars to steal
00:55:25.360 or you're the
00:55:26.660 kind of person
00:55:27.500 who will steal
00:55:28.240 a car
00:55:28.620 if the opportunity
00:55:29.480 arises.
00:55:30.380 Either way,
00:55:31.840 no young person
00:55:32.660 is falling into
00:55:33.280 a life of crime
00:55:33.920 simply because
00:55:34.460 certain cars
00:55:35.180 are so easy
00:55:35.760 to steal
00:55:36.320 that the temptation
00:55:37.440 is just too great.
00:55:39.100 By the way,
00:55:39.680 most low-level
00:55:41.460 crimes are easy
00:55:42.900 to commit.
00:55:44.120 Anybody can steal
00:55:45.160 a car.
00:55:46.280 Anybody can
00:55:47.040 shoplift.
00:55:47.800 Anybody can
00:55:48.380 burglarize a home.
00:55:50.080 Getting away
00:55:50.720 with it may
00:55:51.480 take some skill
00:55:52.340 except in a lot
00:55:53.520 of cities
00:55:53.780 where they won't
00:55:54.100 prosecute you
00:55:54.600 but aside from
00:55:55.300 that,
00:55:55.880 getting away
00:55:56.460 with it
00:55:57.320 may take
00:55:57.800 some skill
00:55:58.160 but crimes
00:55:59.960 of that sort
00:56:00.480 are easy
00:56:00.920 to commit
00:56:01.440 at least
00:56:01.960 and there's
00:56:04.020 no way
00:56:04.320 to make
00:56:04.600 it really
00:56:05.100 difficult.
00:56:06.340 This is not
00:56:06.760 like kidnapping
00:56:07.340 the president
00:56:07.880 or something
00:56:08.380 although that
00:56:09.480 might be a bad
00:56:10.400 example.
00:56:10.860 You could
00:56:11.020 probably just
00:56:11.440 leave a trail
00:56:12.000 of hard candies
00:56:12.700 and you would
00:56:13.060 follow it
00:56:13.520 right into
00:56:13.820 your van.
00:56:14.540 Not that I'm
00:56:15.060 advocating that.
00:56:15.740 The point is
00:56:16.320 cars are
00:56:17.520 relatively easy
00:56:18.740 to steal
00:56:19.100 no matter
00:56:19.580 what you do
00:56:20.040 and that's
00:56:20.700 why you
00:56:21.340 don't solve
00:56:21.820 the problem
00:56:22.260 by addressing
00:56:22.940 the how.
00:56:24.100 Now it's
00:56:24.380 a good idea
00:56:24.800 on an individual
00:56:25.400 basis to make
00:56:26.180 it harder
00:56:26.600 by comparison
00:56:27.340 for a criminal
00:56:27.900 to steal
00:56:28.280 your car.
00:56:29.160 That way
00:56:29.500 he'll go
00:56:29.800 steal somebody
00:56:30.280 else's instead
00:56:30.940 and it's not
00:56:31.340 your problem
00:56:31.660 but on a
00:56:32.600 societal level
00:56:33.380 the solution
00:56:34.420 isn't found
00:56:35.120 in the how
00:56:35.780 it's found
00:56:36.220 in the why.
00:56:37.100 Why are kids
00:56:37.820 out stealing
00:56:38.200 cars?
00:56:39.100 Why are they
00:56:39.620 tempted by
00:56:40.100 the seductive
00:56:40.680 sight of a
00:56:41.240 car with
00:56:41.700 insufficient
00:56:42.180 theft
00:56:42.720 prevention?
00:56:44.300 Well that
00:56:44.540 takes us
00:56:44.820 back upstream
00:56:45.380 back to
00:56:46.060 what's really
00:56:46.520 important
00:56:47.660 family
00:56:49.200 marriage
00:56:50.140 parenting
00:56:50.780 all of the
00:56:52.040 things that
00:56:52.500 Keith Ellison
00:56:52.940 doesn't want
00:56:53.500 to talk about
00:56:53.980 because he's
00:56:55.140 too stupid
00:56:55.600 to understand
00:56:56.100 any of these
00:56:56.560 issues
00:56:56.840 and also
00:56:57.480 because he's
00:56:57.920 too corrupt
00:56:58.460 and too
00:56:59.340 dishonest
00:56:59.820 to discuss
00:57:00.580 them
00:57:00.860 even if
00:57:01.480 he did
00:57:01.720 understand
00:57:02.060 them
00:57:02.320 and that
00:57:03.260 is why
00:57:03.600 he is
00:57:04.020 today
00:57:04.360 cancelled.
00:57:06.360 That'll do it
00:57:06.760 for the show
00:57:07.000 today.
00:57:07.260 Thanks for
00:57:07.500 watching.
00:57:07.740 Thanks for
00:57:07.960 listening.
00:57:08.400 Talk to you
00:57:08.680 tomorrow.
00:57:08.960 Have a great
00:57:09.240 day.
00:57:09.860 Godspeed.
