00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, following in the suicidal footsteps of California,
00:00:03.520 the federal government now wants to phase out gas-powered cars across the entire country.
00:00:07.700 This will destroy the economy while doing exactly nothing for the environment.
00:00:10.540 Also, RFK Jr. exposes himself as just another leftist,
00:00:14.080 and Sacramento declares itself a sanctuary for child castrators.
00:00:17.800 Finally, the media declares that anyone who asks any questions about the Baltimore bridge collapse
00:00:22.100 is a conspiracy theorist, but that is not a conspiracy theory,

00:01:55.140 When future historians decide to write the definitive treatise on the downfall of the state of California,
00:02:00.500 we can be sure that the final days of August 2022 will feature very prominently in that account.
00:02:05.860 It was on August 25th that the state announced a bold plan to ban the sale of gas-powered vehicles by the year 2035.
00:02:13.380 Everything had to be electric from that point forward.
00:02:16.260 What would that do to the economy of the state of California, given how expensive electric vehicles are?
00:02:23.380 Where were we going to get the materials to manufacture all of these new EV batteries?
00:02:28.580 No one seemed to care.
00:02:29.760 Local news anchors were elated, though.
00:02:32.220 Watch.
00:02:33.780 Developing news as the California Air Resources Board votes to ban all gas-powered vehicle sales by the year 2035.
00:02:41.100 I have a Tesla.
00:02:42.600 So to me, it's all right.
00:02:43.960 You know, I don't mind. I'm glad I'm not paying the gas prices now.
00:02:48.300 I used to have an Acura. I loved the car.
00:02:49.840 But, I mean, I'd be paying almost $6 a gallon.
00:02:51.980 It's a multi-phase plan that would require 35 percent of new cars to be powered by electricity or hydrogen by the year 2026,
00:03:00.060 51 percent by 2028, and 100 percent by 2035.
00:03:04.220 Now, when this news broke, a lot of commentators on the right made the point that the euphoria would probably be short-lived.
00:03:11.060 But no one quite had any idea just how short-lived it would be.
00:03:14.820 Because just six days after California's big announcement mandating electric vehicles, the state's power grid failed.
00:03:21.940 And it failed in spectacular fashion.
00:03:23.740 The state declared a level one power emergency.
00:03:26.700 And for seven days, residents were ordered to conserve power whenever possible, including by shutting off appliances between 5 and 10 p.m.
00:03:33.900 They call that a flex alert in California because it happens so often they need a catchy brand name for it.
00:03:40.020 Watching this debacle from the safety of their air-conditioning living rooms, a lot of Americans thought to themselves,
00:03:44.580 Well, that's probably it for California's lofty EV mandate.
00:03:49.000 Surely they're going to rethink things after this.
00:03:52.160 After all, if the state doesn't have a reliable power grid to the point that people have to disable their toasters in the evening,
00:03:58.760 then there's no way the grid can possibly tolerate millions of new electric vehicles that start charging all at once.
00:04:06.300 I mean, you can't tell people to turn off their cars at sundown.
00:04:09.080 And nobody's going to go for that, especially when they have reliable gas-powered cars already.
00:04:16.320 And that's not a knock against EVs if you like them.
00:04:18.740 It's just true.
00:04:20.240 Without infrastructure, there's no reason to buy one of these cars.
00:04:23.260 In fact, there are a lot of reasons not to buy one of these cars.
00:04:25.700 But that's not how California's local media responded to these power outages.
00:04:29.400 It's not how Gavin Newsom responded either.
00:04:31.760 They didn't pause and rethink anything.
00:04:34.300 I mean, they never do.
00:04:35.040 Instead, they do what they always do, which is they double down on California's commitment to so-called renewable energy, quote-unquote,
00:04:42.020 even as they acknowledge that this renewable energy was responsible for the brownouts.
00:04:46.760 Watch.
00:04:47.920 This week's dangerous heat wave is already putting stress on the state's power grid.
00:04:52.520 And we hate to tell you this, but rolling blackouts are a possibility tonight.
00:04:55.580 As temperatures are expected to intensify, we will be pushing the limits on our power supply.
00:05:00.120 And we are now in the window of the highest concern that is this evening through next Wednesday.
00:05:06.100 As a result, Governor Newsom has declared a state of emergency.
00:05:10.020 Hydroelectricity is not as reliable as a consequence of this drought.
00:05:13.900 And the lower reservoirs we're seeing across the West United States and certainly here in California.
00:05:19.820 So we're losing megawatts.
00:05:21.720 Mega drought means less megawatts.
00:05:24.540 So on a supply side, we're challenged by these extremes.
00:05:29.660 And on a demand side, not surprisingly, people are turning up the AC.
00:05:35.360 So as of 2022, when that footage aired, more than one-third of California's energy came from renewable sources, including solar and wind power.
00:05:43.740 Gavin Newsom has said he wants that number to be 100 percent by 2045.
00:05:48.120 And as you saw, Gavin Newsom acknowledges that these renewables, quote-unquote, are one of the reasons that California's grid had just collapsed.
00:05:55.500 But despite all that, he doesn't roll back the EV mandate.
00:05:59.340 He doesn't change his plan for renewables in any way.
00:06:02.100 In fact, just a couple of weeks after he declared a statewide emergency due to a lack of power caused by renewable energy,
00:06:08.360 Newsom again reiterated his commitment to the EV mandate and to a renewable energy grid.
00:06:13.360 And we know why that is.
00:06:14.740 It's because Gavin Newsom, well, he lacks any capacity for shame or self-doubt.
00:06:19.940 And what you may not know, though, and what's truly hard to believe, is that California's bad ideas are no longer confined to California.
00:06:28.400 Somehow, seven other states, as well as the District of Columbia, have signed on to California's plan to rid the world of gas-powered vehicles,
00:06:35.820 which is known as the Advanced Clean Cars 2 Rule.
00:06:38.800 The states that have signed on include Rhode Island, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington.
00:06:46.480 Basically, all the states that you would expect to be first up to bat on this, anyway.
00:06:52.100 And to be clear, when I say that they've adopted California's plan, I mean that they are explicitly adopting it by name.
00:06:57.560 The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, for example, says that it's eager to adopt the, quote, California standard.
00:07:03.160 Each of these seven states, like California, now plans to ban all sales of new gas-powered cars starting in 2035.
00:07:12.640 And specifically, the rules say that only cars with zero emissions, including EVs and a small number of plug-in hybrids, can be sold.
00:07:21.020 And by the way, there's a gradual ramp-up to the total ban.
00:07:23.660 And California's rule requires a third of new car sales to be zero-emission vehicles by 2026, so just a couple years from now.
00:07:31.200 And roughly 70% of new car sales to be zero emissions by 2030.
00:07:36.580 Existing gas-powered vehicles aren't affected, meaning you can still have those.
00:07:40.840 For now, for now, you can still have those if you've already bought them.
00:07:44.780 Personally, I would expect that that's probably going to change.
00:07:46.640 There are other states that have adopted rules to limit the number of gas-powered vehicles on the road, including New Mexico, Delaware, Colorado.
00:07:53.760 So they won't ban them all outright.
00:07:56.660 Although, again, it's clear that that's what they're getting to.
00:07:59.540 That's where this is going.
00:08:00.620 But the state-by-state discussion is becoming moot because the Biden administration has just quietly issued its own rule that will essentially have the same effect as California's ban.
00:08:09.780 The federal government is trying to phase out all gas-powered vehicles, and they're going to do it in the same undemocratic, ham-fisted way as all these states have done it.
00:08:19.700 They're not going to pass a law or let voters decide the issue.
00:08:23.820 Of course not.
00:08:25.140 Instead, the feds have issued new emissions standards, which function as a de facto ban on many of the gas cars that many of us are already driving.
00:08:34.620 Watch.
00:08:34.940 The Environmental Protection Agency is rolling out new pollution standards for passenger cars.
00:08:41.140 The tailpipe emissions rules are aimed at fighting climate change and will apply to all new vehicles starting with model year 2027 through 2032.
00:08:49.940 CBS News national correspondent Dave Malkoff has more from Smyrna, Georgia.
00:08:54.400 Hi there, Dave.
00:08:55.980 It looks like you're at a car dealership.
00:08:58.180 It looks like you've settled into one that you like.
00:08:59.940 Tell us how these new emissions rules might change the types of cars we drive and how that impacts climate change.
00:09:07.100 Well, hi, Meg.
00:09:07.660 Hi, Lana.
00:09:08.240 This is all about reducing emissions and, by that measure, slowing climate change.
00:09:14.800 Dave, how do car makers feel about this new rule?
00:09:17.820 We've heard some are adjusting their EV production numbers and pivoting to hybrids due to consumer demand.
00:09:23.360 Is now the time to implement this rule?
00:09:25.260 Well, this is not an EV mandate in any way.
00:09:29.820 This is an electric vehicle here.
00:09:31.660 But right over here, you can see this is a hybrid vehicle where you can plug this in.
00:09:38.220 You can actually use this as an electric to charge the battery in here while you're stopping and putting your foot on the brake.
00:09:45.840 So there are lots of choices for those manufacturers.
00:09:49.620 They can do electric vehicles.
00:09:51.700 They can do things like maybe hydrogen vehicles that will come online in the future.
00:09:57.660 They'll do hybrids like this or even cleaner gas cars.
00:10:01.640 And those can all comply with these rules.
00:10:04.360 So it's a very sing-songy segment.
00:10:07.660 Everything is great.
00:10:09.040 Everyone's happy with these standards.
00:10:11.120 No one dislikes them.
00:10:12.500 Everyone's on board, we're told.
00:10:13.760 The reporter assures us that this EPA rule isn't anything like an EV mandate because it doesn't strictly require that automakers only manufacture EVs.
00:10:22.740 Technically, they can make hybrids.
00:10:24.480 They can make hydrogen cars.
00:10:25.860 And if you're worried, if you're kind of thinking to yourself, well, what's a hydrogen car?
00:10:29.260 I've never seen that.
00:10:29.880 It's because it doesn't exist right now, which is a small problem that you're not supposed to concern yourself with.
00:10:36.160 But what we're told is that these car manufacturers have a ton of options, right?
00:10:40.480 They could do EVs.
00:10:42.020 They could do hybrids.
00:10:43.160 Or they could do a type of car that doesn't exist.
00:10:45.720 So they have three options.
00:10:47.640 One of them doesn't exist.
00:10:48.760 And so then really it's two.
00:10:50.520 Two, incidentally, that happens to be the same line that the EPA administrator trotted out when he announced these new rules.
00:10:56.620 He claimed that the agency is simply expanding, expanding consumer choice.
00:11:00.700 By telling us things that we can't have and can't drive, they're actually expanding our options.
00:11:08.280 It's addition by subtraction, apparently.
00:11:11.460 Because, of course, in reality, rather than expanding our choices, they're doing the opposite.
00:11:15.040 And that talking point completely obscures what's really happening.
00:11:18.180 The Biden administration is using the EPA, using a bureaucracy, using unelected bureaucrats to effectively pass a law banning the sale of most gas cars without ever consulting the voters and without ever getting the legislative branch of the government involved at all.
00:11:33.320 And they're supposed to be the ones who actually come up with the laws.
00:11:36.020 Specifically, the EPA's new rule demands that car manufacturers slash emissions on all new passenger cars, SUVs, crossovers, minivans, light trucks, and pickups by roughly 50% by the year 2032.
00:11:49.540 And by the EPA's own estimates, that means that up to 56% of new vehicles will have to be EVs, and at least 13% will need to be plug-in hybrids.
00:11:58.300 That is a massive reduction on the number of gas-powered cars that will be allowed on the road.
00:12:02.980 So, Marlo Lewis, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, assessed that under these rules, quote,
00:12:08.660 Even if Toyota scrapped all its vehicles and just manufactured its best-in-class Prius, the company's fleet average tailpipe CO2 emissions rating would still be more than double the EPA's 2032 standards.
00:12:22.020 Clearly, automakers cannot comply with the EPA's performance-based GHG program without rapidly phasing out internal combustion engine vehicle sales and rapidly ramping up electric vehicle sales.
00:12:32.520 As CEI states, this is one of the most extreme rules that's ever been proposed by a federal agency, any federal agency.
00:12:41.640 Similar regulations are already in the works for the trucking industry, which would, of course, destroy the nation's economy.
00:12:47.300 California is, once again, the leader in those regulations, with some already in effect.
00:12:52.040 But CBS News has no problem with any of this.
00:12:54.120 They're happy to tell you that there will be less smog in the air.
00:12:57.300 So, you know, just roll with it.
00:12:58.880 It's all going to destroy the economy, takes away your options, makes everything more expensive, everything worse.
00:13:03.720 But, you know, you should be happy about it.
00:13:07.360 The EPA has issued its commandments, and the EPA knows best.
00:13:11.260 Just trust them.
00:13:12.040 They know what's best for you.
00:13:14.160 Which, even if that were true, which it's not, we still have something called the Constitution.
00:13:19.680 And the Constitution empowers Congress, not a federal administrative agency, to pass laws.
00:13:24.880 Agencies can't expand their mandates so far that they, you know, become a de facto Congress.
00:13:30.180 At least, that's not how it's supposed to work.
00:13:32.800 This is a lesson that the CDC learned a few years ago when it tried to prevent landlords from evicting tenants who weren't paying rent.
00:13:38.040 It's also a lesson the EPA itself learned just two years ago in the case West Virginia v. EPA.
00:13:43.260 And in that case, the Supreme Court made it very clear that the EPA's Obama-era clean power plan far exceeded the EPA's legal mandate.
00:13:50.840 Well, now the EPA is doing it again because this is what federal bureaucracies always do.
00:13:54.560 They're trying to ban gas-powered vehicles, even though there's no authorizing law passed by Congress which permits the EPA to do that.
00:14:02.840 They're just doing it anyway.
00:14:03.780 So, even if this ban were somehow a good idea, which it isn't, it's still unconstitutional.
00:14:11.700 And the Supreme Court needs to strike it down immediately.
00:14:14.560 In this country, voters get to weigh the pros and cons of a law like this, not some faceless bureaucrats in an administrative agency.
00:14:21.040 And there happen to be a lot of cons when it comes to this particular rule.
00:14:26.740 That's not to say that some electric vehicles aren't great cars.
00:14:31.020 I mean, if you want to drive one, go for it.
00:14:33.520 But there are obviously downsides to mandating them for everyone, like massive downsides.
00:14:39.500 And for one thing, a lot of people are going to be priced out of the new car market.
00:14:43.080 The average EV costs more than $5,000 more than the average gas-powered car.
00:14:47.740 Typical repair costs are also much higher for EVs that are involved in accidents.
00:14:52.620 It's one of the reasons that Hertz, rental car agency, just scaled back on its massive fleet of Tesla sedans.
00:14:57.820 And from a national security perspective, it's also worth pointing out that China has enormous leverage in the production of batteries,
00:15:03.340 which are obviously necessary for EV production.
00:15:05.120 The other issue is that even if every vehicle on the planet suddenly becomes a zero-emission vehicle overnight,
00:15:10.980 they still have to get power from somewhere.
00:15:13.060 And right now, the power mostly comes from power plants that burn coal.
00:15:16.200 As the New York Times conceded recently, quote,
00:15:19.220 if a Chevy Bolt is charged up on a coal-heavy grid, such as those currently found in the Midwest,
00:15:23.780 it can actually be a bit worse for the climate than a modern hybrid car like the Toyota Prius,
00:15:27.800 which runs on gasoline but uses a battery to bolster its mileage.
00:15:31.540 In other words, there are common scenarios in which a purely electric vehicle is emitting more common carbon dioxide,
00:15:38.320 ultimately, than a car that you fill up a gas station.
00:15:41.540 And even outside the Midwest, the differences in emissions aren't as significant
00:15:44.660 as they make it seem.
00:15:46.440 It's closer to 50% of the best cases, taking into account the emissions related to manufacturing.
00:15:50.600 All of this, of course, requires that you accept the false premise that the carbon emissions from motor vehicles
00:15:55.200 have any meaningfully negative impact on your life, which they don't.
00:16:01.180 As Michael Schellenberger has pointed out, the number of natural disasters linked to climate and weather have declined from 2000 to 2021.
00:16:12.440 And the cost of natural disasters, as measured by percent of GDP, is down worldwide since 1990.
00:16:19.360 It's not what you hear in the media, but that's what's happening.
00:16:21.700 The number of landfalling U.S. hurricanes has dropped in that same period.
00:16:25.980 So as the global frequency of major hurricanes, fewer people than ever are dying in heat waves.
00:16:33.520 And all of this is well documented by the think tank Environmental Progress.
00:16:37.000 Pretty much the only thing that's gone up is the cost of electricity in California,
00:16:41.080 which rose more than seven times higher than it did in other states.
00:16:45.940 The reason that states like California persist in pushing these mandates,
00:16:49.080 even when they've clearly accomplished nothing,
00:16:50.700 even when they serve no purpose whatsoever,
00:16:54.740 no purpose for, you know, for us, for actual American citizens,
00:16:58.760 doesn't do anything for us,
00:17:00.340 is that the environmentalist agenda has, of course, nothing to do with the environment.
00:17:05.140 It's determined instead to make life more difficult and more expensive,
00:17:08.760 not to mention uglier, as we can see from the climate alarmist, you know,
00:17:12.220 attacks on famous art, for example.
00:17:15.180 The point is also to make life less enjoyable,
00:17:17.440 hence the push for disgusting bug-based foods.
00:17:20.700 The Biden administration is endorsing all this,
00:17:22.760 not because the science calls for it,
00:17:24.420 and certainly not because they want to preserve human life,
00:17:27.460 but rather because they fundamentally see human life
00:17:29.920 as a parasitic infestation on the planets,
00:17:33.140 excluding themselves, of course.
00:17:35.200 It's not the carbon your car emits that they're after.
00:17:38.860 It's just, it's you as a human being.
00:17:41.620 And if this EPA regulation survives,
00:17:44.260 that will only embolden them even further.
00:17:46.980 Continue to restrict your freedom of choice,
00:17:48.660 even as they tell you that they're expanding it.
00:17:51.960 And this is the greatest encroachment of civil liberties right now
00:17:54.340 that no one is talking about.
00:17:56.200 And unless you want the car you're probably driving right now
00:17:59.520 to become illegal in the near future,
00:18:01.560 it's time that we change that.
00:18:04.900 Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:18:06.180 Well, of course, Easter is just around the corner,
00:18:13.820 and instead of filling your child's basket with mediocre things

00:18:32.720 Yeah, it's like an accordion, I guess.
00:18:35.320 My four-year-old daughter always has me create
00:18:37.080 the most intricate designs.
00:18:38.240 I'll sit there for hours building for her
00:18:39.800 just for her to destroy it seconds later.

00:19:17.240 Report from the Daily Wire.
00:19:18.620 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced on Tuesday
00:19:20.940 that he has selected Nicole Shanahan
00:19:22.680 to be his vice presidential running mate
00:19:24.520 as he continues to run as an independent
00:19:25.860 after dropping out of the Democratic Party's
00:19:27.280 presidential primary late last year.
00:19:29.000 Shanahan, the ex-wife of Google co-founder
00:19:30.900 Sergey Brin has, Sergey Brin rather,
00:19:33.940 has a history of donating to Democrat politicians.
00:19:38.940 No surprise.
00:19:39.920 And is the president and founder of an organization
00:19:41.320 that invests in leftist criminal justice policy,
00:19:43.820 environmentalism, abortion access, and more.
00:19:47.100 RFK made the announcement at a rally in Oakland
00:19:48.820 as he touted her alleged expertise in a variety of fields.
00:19:55.160 And so he's very excited about it.
00:19:56.940 And there was a lot of speculation, of course,
00:19:58.660 about who the vice presidential nominee,
00:20:01.160 or who he was going to select to be his vice presidential nominee.
00:20:05.520 Not that it matters.
00:20:06.420 I mean, the vice president doesn't matter at all,
00:20:08.500 especially doesn't matter for a guy who has no chance of winning.
00:20:11.040 But a lot of speculation, a lot of interesting possibilities were floated.
00:20:18.120 And then he goes with the least interesting person you could possibly find.
00:20:22.560 But worse than being uninteresting,
00:20:24.960 he has chosen a corporate leftist as his VP.
00:20:30.540 And before we talk about that,
00:20:32.340 I should mention that prior to announcing it,
00:20:35.440 by the way, at this same event,
00:20:38.720 he brought a member of some Indian tribe on stage
00:20:42.880 for a land acknowledgment.
00:20:44.640 And a land acknowledgment, of course,
00:20:45.780 is when white people try to atone for the sins
00:20:48.480 of living on allegedly stolen land
00:20:50.380 by acknowledging that the land is allegedly stolen.
00:20:53.460 And oftentimes this is done by someone reciting a little thing.
00:20:57.940 But in this case, they brought the Indian guy up
00:21:00.760 to give a little rain dance or whatever he did.
00:21:05.440 So here's what that sounded like.
00:21:35.440 There you go.
00:21:40.280 I mean, this stuff is, it's so embarrassing.
00:21:43.140 And I'm not going to get into a whole rant
00:21:46.020 about land acknowledgments because that's not the point.
00:21:48.380 You've heard me rant about that many times.
00:21:50.560 So I'm not going to get into it.
00:21:51.680 You know my stance.
00:21:52.560 But all I will say is that this stuff is so humiliating.
00:21:57.100 Or it should be.
00:21:58.360 Like, have some damn self-respect.
00:22:00.240 Have some pride in your history and your culture.
00:22:02.280 This idea that we need to walk around
00:22:05.960 in a perpetual state of mourning
00:22:08.460 over primitive tribes that were conquered centuries ago.
00:22:13.300 Centuries ago.
00:22:14.740 And we're supposed to still be upset about it.
00:22:18.580 I mean, the idea we're supposed to be upset at all,
00:22:20.240 but like, still?
00:22:22.320 Still?
00:22:22.920 I mean, by the way, when is it over?
00:22:25.300 I mean, if the United States of America
00:22:29.040 still exists in 300 years,
00:22:30.740 are we still going to be going on about this?
00:22:34.340 Is it 1,000 years from now?
00:22:35.740 Is it ever time to move on with your life?
00:22:39.760 If two centuries is not enough time,
00:22:41.660 then that tells me it's just never, never.
00:22:43.380 5,000 years from now,
00:22:45.000 we're still going to be here whining about,
00:22:46.780 this land was taken from the Native Americans
00:22:48.760 5,000 years ago.
00:22:51.660 The trauma is still fresh.
00:22:53.680 It's still fresh.
00:22:54.280 I can't get over it.
00:22:56.740 I'm not going to get into it,
00:22:57.740 but it's incredibly annoying.
00:22:59.580 Nobody else does this.
00:23:01.360 No other country does this.
00:23:02.680 Okay?
00:23:02.820 No other culture does this.
00:23:04.060 Nobody does this.
00:23:04.800 The Indians don't do it. 1.00
00:23:06.420 They don't do it.
00:23:07.060 They don't, they don't, I mean,
00:23:08.640 they tell us that we should feel bad,
00:23:09.780 but they don't sit around feeling bad
00:23:10.880 about the Indian tribes
00:23:11.760 that their ancestors conquered
00:23:13.020 and raped and pillaged and enslaved.
00:23:15.000 You never hear that.
00:23:16.920 When have you ever heard that?
00:23:18.320 When have you ever heard any of these people
00:23:19.840 express any remorse?
00:23:21.500 You know,
00:23:23.380 someone from an Indian tribe,
00:23:24.880 when have you heard them say that,
00:23:26.340 you know,
00:23:26.840 my people in the year 1735,
00:23:29.140 they raided a Cheyenne village
00:23:31.480 and raped their women 0.98
00:23:33.400 and kidnapped their children.
00:23:34.680 And I want to apologize for that.
00:23:37.440 When have you ever heard that?
00:23:38.220 You've never heard it one time.
00:23:40.900 In fact,
00:23:41.440 if you ever suggested it,
00:23:42.640 if you went up to someone
00:23:43.720 of Native American ancestry
00:23:47.760 and said,
00:23:49.860 are you going to apologize
00:23:51.440 for what your ancestors did to,
00:23:54.280 they would look at you like you're crazy.
00:23:56.920 And yet for us,
00:23:57.600 this is supposed to be
00:23:58.300 our permanent emotional state
00:24:00.500 all the time.
00:24:02.720 And what are we apologizing for?
00:24:04.220 For bringing,
00:24:04.920 for bringing this hemisphere
00:24:07.360 out of the Stone Age?
00:24:08.780 That's what we're sorry about?
00:24:10.860 We're supposed to constantly apologize?
00:24:13.040 Guys, I'm so sorry.
00:24:13.640 I'm so sorry.
00:24:14.400 It's not the Stone Age anymore.
00:24:16.360 I'm so sorry.
00:24:16.960 I'm sorry about literally everything
00:24:19.080 that makes your life enjoyable
00:24:20.240 and livable.
00:24:21.660 Everything,
00:24:22.280 everything that gives you joy
00:24:24.440 and comfort in life.
00:24:26.540 I'm sorry about it,
00:24:27.960 apparently,
00:24:28.560 because of course,
00:24:30.240 if the settlers had never come here,
00:24:31.540 we would have none of that here
00:24:33.420 right now.
00:24:35.420 So give me a break.
00:24:36.860 Not going to get into it.
00:24:38.280 All I'm going to say is that
00:24:39.380 just once,
00:24:40.760 just once,
00:24:41.420 I'd like to see one of these events
00:24:42.880 begin with an acknowledgement
00:24:44.140 of the settlers and pioneers
00:24:46.720 who actually built this country.
00:24:49.180 And yes,
00:24:49.900 they did build it.
00:24:51.220 They built it.
00:24:52.560 They're the ones who built it.
00:24:54.420 And they're the ones
00:24:56.200 who we should be thanking.
00:24:57.220 How about a little bit
00:24:57.760 of acknowledgement for them?
00:25:00.080 How's that?
00:25:00.520 How's that for an idea?
00:25:04.340 Anyway,
00:25:04.940 the point is that RFK Jr.
00:25:07.280 has gone full lib.
00:25:08.920 And that's really the point.
00:25:09.900 Not a big surprise.
00:25:10.660 This is the way things go.
00:25:11.880 This is the direction
00:25:13.040 the tide pulls everybody.
00:25:15.920 You know,
00:25:16.140 land acknowledgement,
00:25:17.340 appointing,
00:25:18.040 selecting this
00:25:19.260 leftist woman. 0.99
00:25:22.220 And it's the way it goes
00:25:23.080 because any,
00:25:23.920 it,
00:25:24.800 well,
00:25:25.180 it's the direction
00:25:25.780 the tide pulls everyone.
00:25:26.920 If you are in
00:25:28.320 the leftist sea,
00:25:31.040 you know,
00:25:31.380 if you're in the ocean
00:25:32.460 with them,
00:25:33.500 then it's going to pull you
00:25:35.060 that direction.
00:25:35.460 The only way to avoid that
00:25:36.280 is to be on dry land.
00:25:37.180 But if you,
00:25:38.540 if you are in the water,
00:25:39.780 it's going to pull you out deeper.
00:25:41.220 It's just,
00:25:41.620 it's the way it goes.
00:25:42.340 It's like,
00:25:42.800 it's like when you go to the beach
00:25:44.500 and you set your stuff up
00:25:45.900 and you,
00:25:46.280 you know,
00:25:46.600 you have your towel
00:25:47.540 and your shoes there
00:25:48.180 and you go in the water
00:25:48.980 and you try to stay
00:25:50.640 right where your stuff is.
00:25:51.740 And then next thing you know,
00:25:52.560 you look back
00:25:53.080 and your stuff is a hundred yards away
00:25:54.420 because it's just,
00:25:55.220 the water's pulling you
00:25:56.180 that direction.
00:25:57.080 And that's the way it goes
00:25:58.380 with,
00:26:00.500 with these
00:26:01.160 leftists
00:26:02.820 who
00:26:03.280 like to present themselves
00:26:05.460 as the reasonable ones.
00:26:06.720 Like they're not fully on dry land,
00:26:08.720 right?
00:26:09.280 They're not on the stable ground
00:26:10.420 of reality,
00:26:11.060 but they're closer to it.
00:26:13.680 And so we're supposed to say,
00:26:15.220 well,
00:26:15.280 they're the reasonable,
00:26:15.940 those,
00:26:16.220 they're the good ones.
00:26:17.840 But what ends up happening?
00:26:18.980 They always end up out deep,
00:26:20.620 way,
00:26:20.880 way out
00:26:21.420 in the deep end.
00:26:22.640 That's,
00:26:22.940 that's the way it always goes,
00:26:24.800 which in this case
00:26:25.980 is good news
00:26:26.600 because I had been worried
00:26:28.160 that RFK Jr.
00:26:29.000 would pull votes from Trump.
00:26:30.760 And I think that if this election
00:26:32.000 had happened four months ago
00:26:33.040 or something,
00:26:33.420 that probably would have been
00:26:34.640 the way it worked out.
00:26:35.380 But now as he drifts
00:26:37.740 into the deep,
00:26:38.500 into the crazy,
00:26:39.840 it's pretty clear
00:26:40.960 that he'll be pulling votes
00:26:42.040 from Biden.
00:26:42.740 I think that's pretty clear now.
00:26:44.080 If he pulls votes at all,
00:26:45.280 I think the more likely scenario
00:26:46.440 is that at this point
00:26:48.220 he's not really gonna
00:26:49.140 pull any votes.
00:26:52.120 You know,
00:26:52.720 not,
00:26:52.980 not,
00:26:53.820 not enough to make an impact
00:26:54.800 one way or another
00:26:55.500 because the closer
00:26:56.500 he gets to Biden,
00:26:57.440 the less of an alternative
00:26:58.620 he actually is
00:26:59.900 and the less motive
00:27:01.340 anybody has
00:27:02.100 to vote for him.
00:27:03.200 It's a protest vote anyway
00:27:04.820 and if you're,
00:27:05.340 if it's a protest vote
00:27:06.220 where you're voting
00:27:06.600 for someone who's the same
00:27:07.400 as the other guy,
00:27:08.160 it doesn't make a difference.
00:27:10.100 Either way,
00:27:10.660 he's not gonna hurt Trump
00:27:11.520 and
00:27:12.160 I thought he would
00:27:14.360 months ago
00:27:14.880 and turns out
00:27:15.980 I was wrong about that.
00:27:17.620 Happy to be wrong
00:27:18.480 as I so often am
00:27:20.780 when I,
00:27:21.140 when it comes to any
00:27:21.740 sort of political prediction.
00:27:23.560 I am so often
00:27:24.840 it turns out
00:27:25.740 that I'm,
00:27:26.060 that I'm,
00:27:26.580 that I'm wrong.
00:27:28.080 In this case,
00:27:28.560 that's a good thing.
00:27:29.600 Okay,
00:27:29.860 big news out of Sacramento.
00:27:30.940 Um,
00:27:32.100 here is the
00:27:33.000 CBS report.
00:27:34.360 Watch.
00:27:35.500 And this resolution
00:27:36.220 came to me
00:27:37.020 from transgender
00:27:38.280 constituents.
00:27:39.740 The state of California
00:27:40.860 could become
00:27:41.480 the nation's next
00:27:42.520 sanctuary city
00:27:43.620 for transgender people.
00:27:45.340 Similar to how
00:27:46.260 we've declared ourselves
00:27:47.280 a sanctuary city
00:27:48.180 for immigrants
00:27:49.200 and asylum seekers,
00:27:50.620 um,
00:27:51.220 we are directing
00:27:52.180 city staff
00:27:53.320 not to spend time
00:27:55.000 with,
00:27:55.720 complying with
00:27:56.480 enforcement actions
00:27:57.560 from other states.
00:27:59.220 Council member
00:28:00.060 Katie Valenzuela
00:28:00.960 says her resolution
00:28:02.240 is in response
00:28:02.980 to the growing
00:28:03.620 number of states
00:28:04.540 restricting access
00:28:05.900 to gender-affirming care.
00:28:07.660 And we are taking
00:28:08.260 proactive steps
00:28:09.100 to ensure we remain
00:28:10.020 a safe place
00:28:10.640 for transgender people.
00:28:12.360 Of the 23 states
00:28:13.940 banning access,
00:28:15.400 roughly five have
00:28:16.300 made it a felony crime
00:28:17.400 if doctors offer
00:28:18.740 gender-affirming care.
00:28:20.180 The binding resolution
00:28:21.320 would prevent
00:28:22.000 local authorities
00:28:23.000 from using any city
00:28:24.180 resources
00:28:24.720 to help aid
00:28:25.800 in outside investigations.
00:28:27.280 This is really oriented
00:28:29.240 towards other jurisdictions,
00:28:31.040 cities and states
00:28:31.760 outside of California
00:28:32.940 who are currently
00:28:34.160 or have already
00:28:35.160 taken steps
00:28:35.960 to restrict
00:28:36.560 gender-affirming care.
00:28:37.840 Social reinforcement.
00:28:39.000 The debate
00:28:39.400 over transgender rights 0.90
00:28:40.640 is a contentious topic
00:28:41.900 across the nation.
00:28:43.240 They are all coming
00:28:44.160 together to safeguard
00:28:45.300 our children
00:28:46.480 in the state
00:28:47.960 of California.
00:28:48.960 Having a female body.
00:28:49.820 Just last week,
00:28:50.520 a group gathered
00:28:51.140 on the steps
00:28:51.680 of the California
00:28:52.380 State Capitol
00:28:53.060 for detransition
00:28:54.600 Awareness Day.
00:28:55.320 to end gender 0.96
00:28:58.200 interventions
00:28:58.820 on children.
00:29:01.640 The group,
00:29:02.280 critical of gender-affirming
00:29:03.700 care,
00:29:04.080 met with fierce opposition
00:29:05.340 from protesters
00:29:06.240 supporting the LGBTQ
00:29:07.680 community.
00:29:09.120 In response to those
00:29:10.080 against the move
00:29:11.080 to make Sacramento
00:29:11.860 a transgender
00:29:12.860 sanctuary city,
00:29:14.520 Valenzuela says
00:29:15.400 it's about protecting
00:29:16.560 people's rights.
00:29:17.800 We can to ensure
00:29:18.540 that everybody has access
00:29:19.880 to safe and effective
00:29:22.020 health care,
00:29:22.860 and gender-affirming
00:29:23.460 care is health care.
00:29:25.320 So I asked
00:29:26.320 if the resolution
00:29:26.920 had the backing
00:29:27.660 of the mayor.
00:29:28.540 Councilmember Valenzuela
00:29:29.520 said he fast-tracked
00:29:30.980 it to a full...
00:29:31.800 Yeah, so you obviously,
00:29:34.060 you know,
00:29:34.780 we're accustomed
00:29:35.560 to media,
00:29:36.400 the media being dishonest,
00:29:38.000 especially when it comes
00:29:38.820 to the trans issue.
00:29:40.140 But however low
00:29:41.160 the bar is,
00:29:42.140 that report you just
00:29:43.200 listened to
00:29:43.740 managed to get
00:29:45.000 under the bar.
00:29:46.220 I mean,
00:29:46.500 it dug a tunnel
00:29:47.480 and burrowed
00:29:48.340 under the bar
00:29:49.020 because that was just
00:29:50.180 one lie after another.
00:29:51.460 And I'm not even talking
00:29:52.480 about the incoherent
00:29:53.300 parts of it,
00:29:53.800 like when they said
00:29:54.460 that the state
00:29:55.120 of California
00:29:55.840 is going to be
00:29:56.660 a sanctuary city.
00:29:58.000 California is not a city,
00:29:59.060 it's a state,
00:29:59.580 as they said themselves.
00:30:01.840 What's actually happening
00:30:02.700 is that the city
00:30:03.220 of Sacramento
00:30:03.800 inside California
00:30:05.160 is declaring itself
00:30:05.900 a sanctuary city
00:30:06.980 for trans people,
00:30:08.380 even though California
00:30:09.540 has already done that
00:30:10.140 at the state level.
00:30:11.540 And what the hell
00:30:12.140 does that mean anyway?
00:30:12.900 Well, according to CBS,
00:30:13.800 it means that they will
00:30:14.500 protect transgender people,
00:30:16.260 quote-unquote,
00:30:16.920 who have been banned
00:30:17.980 from accessing,
00:30:20.340 quote,
00:30:21.000 gender-affirming care.
00:30:21.960 And they tell us
00:30:22.940 that five states
00:30:23.820 have made it a felony
00:30:24.800 to offer gender-affirming care
00:30:25.960 and then a number
00:30:26.320 of other states
00:30:26.800 have outlawed it
00:30:28.440 in other ways.
00:30:30.020 So,
00:30:30.460 what's the lie here?
00:30:31.800 Well,
00:30:31.940 there's two lies.
00:30:34.540 Now,
00:30:35.040 we know that the phrase
00:30:35.960 gender-affirming care
00:30:36.840 is a lie.
00:30:38.100 Any news outlet
00:30:38.900 that uncritically
00:30:40.120 uses that phrase
00:30:41.020 automatically loses
00:30:42.180 all credibility forever.
00:30:44.680 They are
00:30:45.520 taking a side
00:30:47.580 just by using
00:30:49.660 that term,
00:30:50.320 obviously.
00:30:51.500 Gender-affirming care
00:30:52.200 assumes at the outset
00:30:53.120 that castrating
00:30:53.840 and drugging
00:30:54.420 and mutilating people
00:30:55.420 is affirmative
00:30:56.160 and that it somehow
00:30:57.820 brings you into alignment
00:30:58.820 with your,
00:30:59.940 quote-unquote,
00:31:00.300 true gender.
00:31:01.300 And that is editorializing
00:31:02.780 anytime the phrase is used.
00:31:04.560 So,
00:31:04.740 there's a lie there.
00:31:05.240 But it's worse than that
00:31:05.880 because the report
00:31:06.500 doesn't even mention
00:31:07.360 at the start
00:31:09.080 when they're talking
00:31:09.920 about the bans
00:31:10.580 that these are
00:31:13.600 bans specifically
00:31:14.960 against doctors
00:31:16.040 doing this to minors.
00:31:17.400 Amazingly,
00:31:18.040 that fact
00:31:18.620 isn't mentioned.
00:31:19.720 So,
00:31:20.100 bans on gender-affirming
00:31:21.740 care for minors
00:31:22.800 have been categorized
00:31:23.960 as blanket bans
00:31:25.440 across the board
00:31:26.120 for everybody.
00:31:26.680 And that's a straight-up lie.
00:31:28.200 That's all that is.
00:31:29.440 Another one.
00:31:30.600 Why would they lie about this?
00:31:31.740 Well,
00:31:31.880 because they know
00:31:32.560 that at this point
00:31:33.500 they can't even admit
00:31:34.700 that this has to do
00:31:36.800 with minors
00:31:37.380 without losing
00:31:38.160 the argument
00:31:39.340 automatically.
00:31:41.160 Right?
00:31:41.400 The second they go,
00:31:43.560 the second they say,
00:31:45.080 well,
00:31:45.300 these are bans
00:31:45.900 that are focused
00:31:47.620 on minors,
00:31:48.840 the second they say that
00:31:50.220 they know that
00:31:50.680 every normal person
00:31:52.120 says,
00:31:53.240 oh yeah,
00:31:53.520 well obviously
00:31:53.920 we shouldn't be doing
00:31:54.560 that to kids.
00:31:56.040 Oh,
00:31:56.480 that's what you're
00:31:56.840 talking about?
00:31:57.320 Well,
00:31:57.480 of course.
00:31:58.920 We're not going
00:31:59.480 to do that to kids.
00:32:00.280 They know every
00:32:00.920 normal person
00:32:01.860 says that.
00:32:02.420 And so,
00:32:03.400 they can't even
00:32:04.900 acknowledge
00:32:05.340 that this has to do
00:32:06.220 with kids now.
00:32:07.080 Their strategy
00:32:07.580 is to simply pretend
00:32:08.560 that that isn't
00:32:11.040 what we're talking about.
00:32:12.100 And I say all this
00:32:13.000 even though,
00:32:13.500 as you know,
00:32:13.840 I am fully
00:32:14.580 and proudly
00:32:15.260 an advocate
00:32:15.960 for actual bans
00:32:18.160 on quote unquote
00:32:19.200 gender affirming care
00:32:20.180 for everyone
00:32:20.920 of any age.
00:32:22.540 I think it should
00:32:23.240 all be banned
00:32:23.880 across the board
00:32:24.580 for everybody.
00:32:25.820 I do not think
00:32:26.440 that doctors
00:32:26.940 should be mutilating
00:32:27.660 or castrating
00:32:28.260 anyone ever
00:32:29.260 in the name of medicine.
00:32:30.660 It should never happen.
00:32:32.700 This is something
00:32:33.620 that doctors
00:32:34.460 should be banned
00:32:35.400 from doing
00:32:36.020 because doctors
00:32:37.060 should not be allowed
00:32:38.480 ever,
00:32:39.600 ever,
00:32:40.100 ever,
00:32:40.440 ever
00:32:40.720 to intentionally
00:32:42.180 inflict physical
00:32:43.160 harm on anyone
00:32:44.280 no matter what
00:32:45.360 even if the patient
00:32:47.000 says they want
00:32:47.800 to be harmed.
00:32:48.740 They still shouldn't
00:32:49.620 be allowed to do it
00:32:50.340 obviously.
00:32:50.980 I mean this is just obvious.
00:32:51.880 It should be obvious
00:32:52.440 to everybody.
00:32:54.720 But even if I feel
00:32:55.780 that way,
00:32:56.200 that's not what
00:32:56.600 the laws are doing
00:32:57.340 yet.
00:32:59.640 So,
00:33:00.200 if Sacramento
00:33:00.780 is a sanctuary city
00:33:02.040 quote unquote
00:33:02.480 what that means
00:33:03.240 in reality
00:33:03.820 is that they are
00:33:04.620 a place
00:33:05.200 where parents
00:33:06.440 can take their
00:33:07.140 children to be
00:33:07.940 castrated.
00:33:08.520 They are setting
00:33:08.920 themselves up
00:33:09.460 as castration
00:33:10.400 tourism destinations
00:33:12.040 basically.
00:33:13.200 That's what's
00:33:13.720 actually happening.
00:33:14.780 But once again,
00:33:15.600 it's quite obvious
00:33:17.120 why they aren't
00:33:17.800 going to be honest
00:33:18.420 about that.
00:33:18.760 They're not going
00:33:19.120 to tell you that.
00:33:20.620 Because if they
00:33:21.160 put it that way
00:33:21.700 which is actually
00:33:22.220 the honest way,
00:33:22.780 that's not
00:33:23.240 editorializing by the way.
00:33:24.560 To say that this
00:33:25.200 is a place
00:33:26.260 where parents
00:33:27.220 can get their
00:33:27.680 kids castrated,
00:33:29.300 it's not
00:33:29.580 editorialization.
00:33:30.360 That is just
00:33:30.720 literally what's
00:33:31.360 happening.
00:33:32.080 They're giving
00:33:32.360 them chemical
00:33:32.780 castration drugs.
00:33:33.780 That is the
00:33:34.580 most straightforward
00:33:36.560 sort of
00:33:39.080 objective
00:33:41.020 way of
00:33:41.620 categorizing
00:33:42.220 what they're
00:33:42.540 doing.
00:33:44.780 I could
00:33:45.440 editorialize
00:33:46.180 beyond that.
00:33:47.880 I could say
00:33:48.460 that it's
00:33:48.760 barbaric,
00:33:49.540 abusive,
00:33:50.740 evil,
00:33:51.540 all that is
00:33:52.120 editorializing.
00:33:54.000 It's true.
00:33:55.120 It also happens
00:33:55.560 to be true.
00:33:56.560 It's true
00:33:57.340 editorialized,
00:33:58.080 correct
00:33:58.400 editorialization.
00:34:00.020 But calling it
00:34:00.980 castration is not
00:34:01.740 editorialization.
00:34:02.600 It's just what it
00:34:04.180 is.
00:34:04.480 It's all it is.
00:34:05.980 But they can't
00:34:07.640 say that.
00:34:08.900 They absolutely
00:34:09.960 know they cannot
00:34:10.840 say that.
00:34:12.880 Then they lose
00:34:13.600 everybody.
00:34:14.180 Then it's like
00:34:14.860 99.999% of all
00:34:16.480 people would not
00:34:17.300 be on their side
00:34:17.900 if they simply
00:34:18.440 described honestly
00:34:19.440 what they're doing.
00:34:20.560 That's why all we
00:34:21.160 get is lies.
00:34:22.740 On a related
00:34:23.320 note, I also want
00:34:23.820 to mention this
00:34:24.220 is from
00:34:24.500 lgbtqnation.com,
00:34:26.740 the website.
00:34:28.040 You already know
00:34:28.720 what you're in
00:34:29.120 for in terms of
00:34:29.720 the quality of
00:34:30.980 journalism.
00:34:33.060 It'll be the
00:34:33.820 same quality of
00:34:34.400 what you're used
00:34:35.280 to from pretty
00:34:35.940 much every other
00:34:36.480 corporate media
00:34:37.280 outlet.
00:34:37.680 But Dutch 0.99
00:34:38.840 darts sensation
00:34:39.920 Noah Lynn is
00:34:41.740 facing backlash
00:34:42.660 after historic
00:34:43.600 back-to-back
00:34:44.360 victories against
00:34:45.200 both men and
00:34:46.100 women in the 0.77
00:34:46.620 same week.
00:34:47.580 Last week,
00:34:48.220 the 27-year-old
00:34:48.960 won the mixed
00:34:49.920 PDC Challenge
00:34:51.120 Tour in Germany,
00:34:52.040 defeating several
00:34:52.600 past male winners.
00:34:54.240 She's the first
00:34:54.740 woman to win an 0.98
00:34:55.380 event in the
00:34:55.860 series, one level
00:34:56.780 below the sport's
00:34:57.880 top tier.
00:34:59.280 Van Luven then
00:34:59.940 played a women's
00:35:00.600 event in the UK
00:35:01.200 on Saturday,
00:35:01.940 defeating two
00:35:02.380 highly placed
00:35:03.000 veteran players,
00:35:03.860 including the
00:35:04.260 current number
00:35:04.640 one woman,
00:35:05.520 Bo Graves.
00:35:06.480 After that
00:35:07.460 quarterfinal victory,
00:35:08.320 Van Luven went
00:35:08.880 on to dispatch
00:35:09.520 Ireland's Katie
00:35:10.300 Sheldon in the
00:35:11.120 final.
00:35:13.400 So this is a
00:35:15.100 quote-unquote
00:35:15.780 transgender woman
00:35:16.860 who beat both
00:35:20.120 men and women
00:35:21.000 in the span of a
00:35:23.120 week.
00:35:24.260 Trans journalist
00:35:24.920 and activist
00:35:25.400 Erin Reid wasn't 0.99
00:35:26.320 convinced that a
00:35:27.280 trans woman could 0.81
00:35:27.900 have any advantage
00:35:28.560 in the sport.
00:35:29.800 Quote,
00:35:30.080 transgender women
00:35:30.760 have a biological
00:35:31.460 advantage at
00:35:32.120 darts?
00:35:33.340 That's what's
00:35:33.880 being claimed by
00:35:34.700 a few people who
00:35:35.380 are trying to get
00:35:35.880 Noah Lynn Van
00:35:36.680 Luven removed
00:35:37.660 from a women's
00:35:38.520 darts team.
00:35:39.680 There's no
00:35:40.040 evidence transgender 0.67
00:35:40.780 women are better 1.00
00:35:41.440 at angles and
00:35:42.260 throwing a dart.
00:35:45.040 So that's been
00:35:45.680 the narrative from
00:35:46.160 trans activists on
00:35:46.940 this.
00:35:47.200 They're saying,
00:35:47.500 this is darts,
00:35:48.180 there's no
00:35:48.500 advantage there.
00:35:49.640 Okay,
00:35:49.980 actually,
00:35:50.500 yes,
00:35:51.740 transgender women
00:35:52.660 are better at
00:35:53.320 darts and they're
00:35:53.960 better at darts
00:35:54.520 because transgender
00:35:55.300 women are men 1.00
00:35:56.360 and men are
00:35:58.100 better at darts.
00:35:59.400 And why are men
00:36:00.180 better at darts?
00:36:00.860 Because men have 0.53
00:36:01.640 better hand-eye
00:36:02.440 coordination.
00:36:02.840 That's basic
00:36:04.160 science.
00:36:05.120 It's a fact.
00:36:06.180 So yes,
00:36:07.260 men have an
00:36:07.980 advantage.
00:36:09.040 Again,
00:36:09.640 just a fact.
00:36:10.860 But also,
00:36:12.720 even if they
00:36:13.520 didn't,
00:36:14.620 this is the
00:36:15.360 important point
00:36:15.880 to make,
00:36:17.260 even if they
00:36:18.160 didn't have an
00:36:18.960 advantage in this
00:36:20.100 particular competition,
00:36:21.520 it wouldn't matter.
00:36:22.440 It wouldn't make a
00:36:22.940 difference.
00:36:24.020 Okay?
00:36:26.060 In fact,
00:36:27.000 if a man
00:36:28.700 pretending to be a
00:36:29.980 woman was competing 1.00
00:36:31.000 in a sport where
00:36:32.340 actually he's at a
00:36:33.320 disadvantage biologically,
00:36:34.880 like let's say
00:36:35.420 figure skating,
00:36:36.580 it still would be
00:36:38.320 an outrage to
00:36:39.500 have them compete
00:36:40.120 against women. 0.76
00:36:41.960 Right?
00:36:42.480 I mean,
00:36:43.520 well,
00:36:43.920 figure skating isn't 1.00
00:36:44.600 really a sport,
00:36:45.280 but you get my
00:36:45.960 point.
00:36:47.580 Even,
00:36:48.180 and we had an
00:36:48.980 example a little
00:36:50.140 while ago of a
00:36:50.800 man competing
00:36:51.480 against figure
00:36:52.000 skaters as a
00:36:54.260 woman.
00:36:55.840 And in that
00:36:58.660 case,
00:36:59.280 then,
00:36:59.860 well,
00:36:59.980 then the
00:37:00.220 problem is
00:37:00.600 that he
00:37:00.780 doesn't have
00:37:01.380 a biological
00:37:02.160 advantage,
00:37:03.100 but he does
00:37:03.880 have a
00:37:04.140 political
00:37:04.580 advantage.
00:37:05.840 And since
00:37:06.160 in figure skating
00:37:06.660 everything is
00:37:07.240 decided by
00:37:07.860 judges,
00:37:08.360 they're more
00:37:08.640 likely to give
00:37:09.520 him a better
00:37:09.800 score because
00:37:10.420 of the,
00:37:10.820 for the
00:37:11.040 politics of
00:37:11.500 it.
00:37:11.640 But
00:37:11.700 advantage or
00:37:13.360 not,
00:37:13.940 it doesn't
00:37:14.480 matter.
00:37:15.300 It's wrong
00:37:16.080 because men
00:37:17.560 don't belong in
00:37:18.400 the women's
00:37:18.760 competition because
00:37:19.820 they aren't
00:37:20.220 women. 0.81
00:37:20.980 And that's
00:37:21.660 it.
00:37:22.360 I don't care
00:37:23.360 if it's a
00:37:24.440 sport or a
00:37:25.140 competition where
00:37:26.300 you've got
00:37:26.740 five trans-identified
00:37:29.400 men competing
00:37:30.920 against women 1.00
00:37:31.440 and they all
00:37:32.880 lose,
00:37:34.260 right?
00:37:34.980 The bottom
00:37:35.540 five positions
00:37:36.320 are all the
00:37:38.120 trans-identified
00:37:38.900 males.
00:37:40.140 That doesn't
00:37:40.900 make it any
00:37:41.480 less outrageous
00:37:42.480 because it's
00:37:44.200 wrong because
00:37:45.240 they are lying.
00:37:46.700 That's why it's
00:37:47.380 wrong.
00:37:48.340 It's not even
00:37:49.420 about the
00:37:50.280 advantage.
00:37:51.100 It's not
00:37:51.500 fundamentally
00:37:52.300 about the
00:37:52.960 advantage.
00:37:53.280 It's about
00:37:53.740 the lie.
00:37:54.680 It's about
00:37:55.000 the deception.
00:37:56.140 It's about
00:37:56.540 the untruth.
00:37:58.960 Why shouldn't
00:37:59.460 men compete
00:37:59.920 against women? 0.74
00:38:00.580 Because they
00:38:01.120 are not
00:38:01.680 women. 0.81
00:38:02.260 That's the
00:38:02.840 whole reason.
00:38:05.280 That's it.
00:38:07.820 Okay?
00:38:10.680 If you see
00:38:11.460 a man
00:38:12.520 swimming in
00:38:12.980 the ocean,
00:38:14.460 why shouldn't
00:38:15.360 you call him
00:38:15.780 a dolphin?
00:38:16.560 Because he's
00:38:17.100 not one.
00:38:18.120 That's it.
00:38:18.760 That's the
00:38:19.040 whole reason
00:38:19.400 why you
00:38:19.680 shouldn't say
00:38:20.100 it.
00:38:21.260 End of
00:38:21.780 discussion,
00:38:22.240 really.
00:38:23.940 Well, if we
00:38:24.680 continue the
00:38:25.120 discussion,
00:38:25.640 then you can
00:38:26.140 get to
00:38:26.440 things like
00:38:26.820 advantages.
00:38:27.660 That's a
00:38:28.180 secondary
00:38:28.580 concern.
00:38:29.980 The first
00:38:30.500 concern is
00:38:30.960 that it's
00:38:31.220 not true.
00:38:32.500 It's a
00:38:33.060 lie.
00:38:33.620 And then
00:38:33.860 from that
00:38:35.340 untruth,
00:38:36.520 once we
00:38:37.160 have accepted
00:38:37.800 the untruth
00:38:38.380 as a truth,
00:38:39.260 a bunch of
00:38:39.600 other bad
00:38:40.100 things start
00:38:40.560 to happen.
00:38:41.220 And one
00:38:41.600 of them
00:38:41.940 is that
00:38:42.520 these men
00:38:43.200 have
00:38:43.760 advantages.
00:38:44.880 But we
00:38:45.440 should always
00:38:45.860 remember that
00:38:46.300 that's not
00:38:46.640 the fundamental
00:38:47.660 problem.
00:38:49.560 All right.
00:38:50.460 The New York
00:38:50.820 Post has
00:38:52.080 this article.
00:38:53.860 The sun
00:38:54.280 will come
00:38:54.560 out tomorrow,
00:38:55.080 but do
00:38:56.040 you care?
00:38:57.560 Maybe you've
00:38:58.000 opted to
00:38:58.400 partake in
00:38:58.920 the two
00:38:59.220 recently viral
00:39:00.360 lazy trends,
00:39:01.880 bed rotting,
00:39:02.700 an indefinite state
00:39:03.880 of sloth at
00:39:04.560 any time of
00:39:05.000 day,
00:39:05.700 or
00:39:05.920 Hercule,
00:39:07.020 Hercule
00:39:08.700 Durkling?
00:39:10.860 What?
00:39:12.300 To lounge
00:39:12.980 around in the
00:39:13.460 morning when you
00:39:14.020 should be seizing
00:39:14.600 the day.
00:39:15.440 Why would that
00:39:15.960 be called
00:39:16.240 Hercule
00:39:16.600 Durkling?
00:39:17.320 Lounging
00:39:17.720 around in the
00:39:18.160 morning is,
00:39:19.500 why do we need
00:39:20.180 a name for that?
00:39:20.980 And why do you
00:39:21.300 have to choose
00:39:21.780 the worst name
00:39:22.720 you can possibly
00:39:23.460 think of for
00:39:24.260 that thing that
00:39:25.100 everyone has
00:39:25.560 done?
00:39:26.640 Lounging around
00:39:27.320 in the morning
00:39:27.740 is Hercule
00:39:28.360 Durkling?
00:39:32.100 The regret you
00:39:32.980 feel when ignoring
00:39:33.940 a beautiful day
00:39:34.580 in favor of
00:39:35.140 more bedtime
00:39:35.940 indicates that
00:39:37.060 you've been
00:39:37.440 stricken with
00:39:37.980 sun guilt
00:39:39.360 or sunshine
00:39:40.320 guilt.
00:39:41.440 And based on
00:39:41.820 the number of
00:39:42.280 views the term
00:39:43.000 has garnered on
00:39:43.580 TikTok, it
00:39:44.120 appears to be
00:39:44.680 pretty common.
00:39:46.160 Dr. Nadia
00:39:47.020 Taymorian, a 1.00
00:39:48.420 psychologist from
00:39:49.400 the Moment of
00:39:50.200 Clarity Mental
00:39:50.880 Health Center,
00:39:51.400 explained to
00:39:52.060 Bustle that
00:39:52.680 sunshine guilt
00:39:54.120 is the feeling
00:39:54.780 of remorse one
00:39:55.620 gets when they
00:39:56.500 stay inside on
00:39:57.340 a nice day.
00:39:58.480 And the feeling
00:39:59.080 can intensify if
00:39:59.840 the person assumes
00:40:00.540 everyone else is
00:40:01.240 outdoors enjoying
00:40:01.920 their lives.
00:40:03.760 User the
00:40:04.900 Renee Reina
00:40:05.700 posted a video
00:40:06.680 explaining the
00:40:07.240 phenomenon earlier
00:40:07.780 this month.
00:40:10.580 Quote, it is an
00:40:11.560 abnormally beautiful
00:40:12.200 day outside, but
00:40:12.900 I'm tired, so now
00:40:13.840 I feel this pressure
00:40:14.560 to go outside and
00:40:15.220 go for a walk and
00:40:15.940 enjoy the weather
00:40:16.620 while it lasts.
00:40:18.460 She continued, I
00:40:19.280 can't enjoy myself
00:40:20.020 indoors now because 0.92
00:40:20.860 the whole time I'm
00:40:21.560 thinking that I
00:40:22.040 should be outside,
00:40:22.760 so basically my
00:40:23.480 day is ruined.
00:40:25.800 Virtually everyone
00:40:26.420 in the comment
00:40:26.740 section admitted to
00:40:27.540 feeling sunshine guilt
00:40:28.440 as well.
00:40:30.020 This type of guilt
00:40:30.820 tends to go hand in
00:40:31.740 hand with the fear
00:40:32.340 of missing out or
00:40:33.200 feeling like you're
00:40:33.740 doing something wrong.
00:40:35.980 And then there's a
00:40:36.340 bunch of, there's,
00:40:37.540 okay, there's a lot,
00:40:41.000 much more analysis of
00:40:42.160 this from mental
00:40:42.960 health experts, so
00:40:43.900 called, and so on.
00:40:44.680 I mean, this is yet
00:40:48.980 again why I could
00:40:49.940 never be a
00:40:50.400 therapist.
00:40:51.280 I cannot imagine
00:40:53.340 sitting there and
00:40:54.620 having someone come
00:40:56.260 in and say, you
00:40:58.960 know, I'm
00:40:59.200 experiencing sunshine
00:41:00.320 guilt.
00:41:02.100 You know, I was
00:41:03.300 herkle-durkle-ing 1.00
00:41:04.100 this morning and I
00:41:04.880 really felt some
00:41:05.680 sunshine guilt over
00:41:06.920 it.
00:41:08.660 I can't imagine
00:41:09.560 having to listen to
00:41:10.160 that and take that
00:41:10.680 seriously.
00:41:11.940 No, you're not
00:41:12.520 experiencing sunshine
00:41:13.500 guilt.
00:41:13.860 You're experiencing
00:41:14.420 the sensation of
00:41:16.160 being a self-absorbed
00:41:17.320 dumbass, so get the 0.97
00:41:19.920 hell out of my
00:41:20.360 office and you still
00:41:21.900 owe me $300.
00:41:22.820 This is a full
00:41:23.280 session.
00:41:26.280 First of all, we
00:41:27.000 don't need a name.
00:41:28.500 We don't need a
00:41:29.080 brand new term for
00:41:30.320 another kind of
00:41:31.300 stress or brand of
00:41:32.660 depression or
00:41:33.260 whatever.
00:41:33.880 We don't need a new
00:41:34.660 term for this.
00:41:35.880 We don't need a new,
00:41:36.540 we don't need, this is
00:41:38.440 the worst thing.
00:41:40.140 And look, I know that
00:41:40.840 it's always kind of
00:41:41.440 cliche when you
00:41:41.900 start complaining
00:41:42.360 about the younger
00:41:42.800 generations, but I
00:41:46.500 think there's a lot
00:41:48.360 redeeming in Gen Z
00:41:49.640 actually, especially
00:41:51.440 any who listen to
00:41:52.120 this show.
00:41:52.820 You guys are great.
00:41:53.960 You guys know what's
00:41:54.560 going on, but all the
00:41:56.120 rest of them, I don't
00:41:56.800 know.
00:41:59.240 But I will say one of
00:42:00.960 the most annoying
00:42:01.400 things about Gen Z is
00:42:02.660 this tendency to find
00:42:07.100 a name or label for
00:42:09.480 every normal thing
00:42:11.460 that people have
00:42:12.800 always done, but you
00:42:15.240 have rediscovered it
00:42:16.480 as a trend and you've
00:42:18.540 given it a label and
00:42:20.100 you describe these
00:42:21.340 completely banal
00:42:22.640 experiences on TikTok
00:42:24.200 with this new label and
00:42:26.520 everyone says, oh my
00:42:27.180 gosh, I do the same
00:42:27.960 thing.
00:42:28.080 Of course you do the
00:42:28.620 same thing.
00:42:29.520 What?
00:42:29.940 You do this sitting
00:42:31.300 inside your house?
00:42:32.420 You think that's like
00:42:33.040 a thing?
00:42:33.840 Well, I can totally
00:42:34.500 relate to your
00:42:35.020 experiences.
00:42:35.540 I have also sat inside
00:42:36.680 my house at times.
00:42:38.100 I do the same thing.
00:42:39.520 I have, oh my gosh,
00:42:41.300 you sit on your couch
00:42:42.580 too?
00:42:42.940 So do I.
00:42:44.060 I never knew.
00:42:44.980 I thought I was the
00:42:45.420 only one.
00:42:45.920 I thought I was the
00:42:46.320 only one who sat on
00:42:47.060 my couch.
00:42:47.700 I thought I was the
00:42:48.120 only one who had a
00:42:48.560 couch.
00:42:49.140 You have couches too?
00:42:51.080 I've never been in
00:42:51.840 anyone else's house.
00:42:52.560 I didn't know what
00:42:52.920 other people, I've
00:42:53.500 never interacted with
00:42:54.220 any other human ever.
00:42:55.380 So I didn't realize
00:42:56.320 that everything I'm
00:42:57.820 doing is just an
00:42:58.640 normal human stuff.
00:43:01.600 So please stop doing
00:43:02.520 that, Gen Z. 0.54
00:43:04.120 We don't need a new
00:43:04.960 label.
00:43:05.280 A lot of your
00:43:06.620 problems, in
00:43:07.840 particular, stem from
00:43:10.340 just being lazy and
00:43:11.600 unmotivated.
00:43:13.120 And that's not new.
00:43:14.680 It's not unique.
00:43:16.140 It doesn't make you
00:43:17.140 interesting.
00:43:19.000 It just, that's it.
00:43:21.360 And being lazy and
00:43:22.580 unmotivated creates a
00:43:23.660 bunch of other issues.
00:43:25.200 And then you want to
00:43:26.100 come up with separate
00:43:26.700 little labels for all
00:43:27.820 of those.
00:43:28.320 But it's all the same
00:43:29.160 thing.
00:43:29.600 It is all the same.
00:43:31.460 So just stop being
00:43:32.620 lazy.
00:43:34.380 Okay?
00:43:34.620 That's, so it's two
00:43:35.840 problems.
00:43:36.020 You have two
00:43:36.320 problems.
00:43:37.260 If you have sunshine
00:43:38.500 guilt, quote unquote,
00:43:40.340 first of all, it's
00:43:40.900 because, yes, again,
00:43:41.620 you're lazy. 0.67
00:43:42.800 Okay?
00:43:43.500 Like, you should go
00:43:45.220 outside.
00:43:45.760 So you should get
00:43:46.800 some exercise.
00:43:47.600 It's a beautiful, if
00:43:48.340 it's a beautiful day and
00:43:49.540 you're lying in bed
00:43:50.300 staring at your phone
00:43:51.180 all day and you feel
00:43:53.000 guilty about that, you
00:43:54.620 should feel guilty.
00:43:56.100 You should feel
00:43:56.980 ashamed.
00:43:58.000 It's gross.
00:43:59.040 It's pathetic.
00:44:00.040 Get outside.
00:44:00.760 Touch some grass.
00:44:01.460 So if you're lying
00:44:02.620 there thinking, oh,
00:44:03.360 man, I'm such a
00:44:03.900 loser, well, yes, you
00:44:05.780 are, exactly.
00:44:07.140 So stop being that.
00:44:08.880 Stop being the thing
00:44:10.220 that you're being that
00:44:11.640 makes you feel bad.
00:44:13.900 No, don't try to change
00:44:15.060 the feelings about what a
00:44:16.540 lazy, fat a** you are. 1.00
00:44:18.440 Just stop being a lazy,
00:44:19.960 fat a**. 1.00
00:44:20.480 That's, that's it.
00:44:22.360 It's, that's, it's so
00:44:23.420 easy, actually.
00:44:24.420 Well, it might not be
00:44:25.160 easy, but it's so simple.
00:44:27.320 It's so simple.
00:44:28.340 And the shame and guilt
00:44:30.960 that you feel, it's
00:44:31.660 not, it, it, that, you
00:44:34.080 that's, you know what
00:44:34.640 that is?
00:44:35.020 It's called your, your
00:44:36.040 conscience.
00:44:37.580 You have a conscience.
00:44:38.800 It's speaking to you.
00:44:40.740 Listen to it.
00:44:42.240 So you're being, you're
00:44:43.300 being slothful.
00:44:44.660 Okay.
00:44:45.560 That's what it's.
00:44:46.360 It's the sin of sloth
00:44:47.680 that you're engaging in.
00:44:49.360 And you're, you
00:44:50.440 actually have a soul
00:44:51.780 that is speaking to you
00:44:53.220 and telling you, I
00:44:54.400 shouldn't be like this.
00:44:56.060 So rather than trying to
00:44:57.220 rationalize it,
00:44:58.340 or post TikToks about
00:44:59.560 it, or find a
00:45:01.180 community of other
00:45:01.980 people, oh, we're all
00:45:02.920 in the sunshine guilt
00:45:03.820 community.
00:45:04.480 We can support each
00:45:05.200 other.
00:45:06.140 Don't do that.
00:45:07.960 Listen to that voice
00:45:09.300 inside your head.
00:45:10.160 You're called your
00:45:10.780 conscience again.
00:45:13.720 And, and go outside
00:45:15.120 and get some exercise.
00:45:17.960 That's it.
00:45:18.960 You know, you could do
00:45:19.460 that.
00:45:19.740 You could like, if
00:45:20.940 you're inside and you're
00:45:21.940 feeling lazy and you're
00:45:24.460 feeling guilty about it,
00:45:25.200 especially if you're,
00:45:25.920 you know, especially if
00:45:28.000 you don't have kids,
00:45:28.720 like you have no
00:45:29.120 excuse to, you know,
00:45:30.000 if you have kids, if
00:45:30.860 you have responsibilities,
00:45:31.720 you might want to go
00:45:32.680 outside, but you can't.
00:45:34.960 But if you could, and
00:45:35.780 you're feeling that way,
00:45:38.040 go, go for a jog for
00:45:39.980 45 minutes and then come
00:45:42.860 back inside and that guilt
00:45:43.800 will be gone because now
00:45:44.940 you've, you've gone out and
00:45:45.660 got some exercise.
00:45:46.360 You don't need to feel
00:45:46.840 guilty about it anymore.
00:45:50.700 But the second, so that's
00:45:51.600 the first problem.
00:45:52.340 The second problem is, as
00:45:56.320 I always say, stop
00:45:57.560 thinking so much about
00:45:59.220 how you feel.
00:46:01.840 Okay.
00:46:02.380 It's not that
00:46:03.060 interesting.
00:46:03.980 It's not that
00:46:04.740 complicated.
00:46:07.820 And you know what?
00:46:09.360 If, if, if you're being
00:46:12.440 lazy and you're, you're
00:46:13.300 lazing around all day and
00:46:14.380 you're staring at your
00:46:14.980 phone and it's a beautiful
00:46:15.760 day and you're not going
00:46:16.480 outside.
00:46:16.860 Um, and that's what
00:46:20.420 you've decided to do and
00:46:21.500 then you're feeling guilty
00:46:22.160 about it.
00:46:22.600 Okay, well then fine.
00:46:23.300 You've decided to be lazy
00:46:24.280 that day.
00:46:25.240 Everyone has days like
00:46:26.080 that.
00:46:27.980 So then that's what you,
00:46:29.020 but you don't need to sit
00:46:29.680 there thinking about it.
00:46:30.660 You don't need to sit
00:46:31.140 there dwelling on your
00:46:32.220 feelings about it.
00:46:34.600 How do I feel about this?
00:46:36.440 How do I feel in this
00:46:37.500 moment?
00:46:38.440 How do I feel in this
00:46:39.280 moment now?
00:46:40.140 But here's a new moment.
00:46:40.940 How do I feel now?
00:46:42.040 How do I feel?
00:46:43.040 How do I feel about how I
00:46:44.100 feel?
00:46:44.620 How do I feel about how I
00:46:45.580 feel about how I feel?
00:46:46.860 How do I feel about how
00:46:47.620 other people feel about
00:46:48.340 me?
00:46:50.400 Just get, you're in this
00:46:52.260 vortex of self, self
00:46:53.880 obsession.
00:46:54.800 Find something outside of
00:46:56.100 yourself to care about.
00:46:58.280 For five minutes, if you
00:47:00.960 can, try it, well, baby
00:47:03.220 steps, try to spend five
00:47:05.460 minutes of your day
00:47:06.720 thinking about something
00:47:08.460 other than your own
00:47:09.960 feelings about yourself.
00:47:14.660 And ironically, that'll
00:47:15.680 make you feel a lot better
00:47:16.420 about yourself if you do.
00:47:18.100 Despite the anticipated
00:47:19.040 rate cuts by financial
00:47:20.320 experts, inflation
00:47:21.280 continues to rise.
00:47:22.380 The United States is
00:47:23.080 grappling with a staggering
00:47:24.280 debt of $34 trillion.
00:47:26.440 And yet, we continue to
00:47:28.020 print more money, driving
00:47:29.180 up the prices of
00:47:29.840 everyday essentials.
00:47:30.700 You can bury your head in
00:47:31.620 the sand, or you can do
00:47:32.740 something about it.

00:48:15.160 Russia has been in the 0.99
00:48:15.780 headlines for weeks due to the
00:48:16.840 actions of Vladimir Putin.
00:48:17.920 To comprehend Putin's
00:48:18.760 motivations, we must examine the
00:48:20.260 historical context that shaped
00:48:21.880 his behaviors.
00:48:23.040 In the new season of What We
00:48:24.100 Saw in Empire of Terror, host
00:48:25.740 Bill Whittle unmasks communism by
00:48:27.800 taking a closer look at the
00:48:28.780 history of the Soviet Union.
00:48:29.980 This tale of terror offers a
00:48:31.420 compelling presentation of the
00:48:32.780 horrors that plagued the Soviet 1.00
00:48:33.840 Union and the viciousness of its
00:48:35.340 leaders.
00:48:35.680 The reality is modern-day Russia 0.90
00:48:36.980 has been centuries in the making,
00:48:38.860 and this series will give you a
00:48:39.820 better understanding of its
00:48:40.780 history, as well as the
00:48:41.680 communism that threatens our own
00:48:43.000 homeland.
00:48:43.820 In episode four, which is
00:48:44.620 streaming right now on Daily
00:48:45.480 Wire Plus, Bill Whittle uncovers
00:48:46.740 the horrors committed by Lenin and
00:48:48.200 his Bolsheviks immediately after 0.78
00:48:49.420 the successful revolution.

00:48:56.160 Now let's get to our daily
00:48:56.920 cancellation.
00:49:03.820 There's still a lot we don't
00:49:04.880 know about the Francis Scott Key
00:49:06.680 bridge collapse in Baltimore
00:49:08.800 early Tuesday morning.
00:49:10.760 What we do know is that a 948-foot
00:49:12.940 long cargo ship built in South
00:49:15.000 Korea, operated by a Singapore-based
00:49:16.580 company, slammed into a bridge
00:49:17.900 support beam, causing the bridge
00:49:19.660 to fall into the Patapsco River.
00:49:21.720 At this point, six people are
00:49:22.860 presumed dead, all of them
00:49:23.940 construction workers who were
00:49:24.980 fixing potholes on the bridge at
00:49:26.360 the time.
00:49:27.140 There were apparently no other
00:49:28.100 cars on the bridge when this
00:49:29.760 happened, and traffic would have
00:49:31.740 already been light because it was
00:49:33.780 1.30 in the morning at the time
00:49:35.240 of the incident, but also because,
00:49:36.340 according to reports, the crew of the
00:49:37.620 ship called the Dolly issued a
00:49:39.600 mayday call, which mobilized
00:49:40.860 emergency personnel to shut down
00:49:42.300 traffic on the bridge right before
00:49:43.580 the collision.
00:49:44.760 And as for the why of it all, well,
00:49:47.200 it appears that there was a blackout
00:49:48.640 on the ship.
00:49:49.260 That's the sort of thing that doesn't
00:49:50.600 happen very often to ships out on the
00:49:52.160 open water, but it can happen.
00:49:54.620 And when it does, it can be
00:49:56.200 catastrophic.
00:49:56.820 And in this case, it seems that the
00:49:59.160 loss of power may be linked to
00:50:01.320 contaminated fuel.
00:50:02.620 Here's a Fox News report, quote,
00:50:03.980 A safety investigation into the
00:50:05.880 Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in
00:50:07.500 Baltimore, Maryland, will include
00:50:08.560 whether contaminated fuel was a
00:50:10.680 factor in a cargo ship losing power
00:50:12.540 and crashing into the bridge.
00:50:13.640 The lights on the Dolly began to
00:50:15.040 flicker about an hour into the ship's
00:50:16.380 trip early Tuesday.
00:50:18.120 A harbor pilot and assistant reported
00:50:20.320 power issues and a loss of propulsion
00:50:23.260 prior to the collision, according to a
00:50:24.920 Coast Guard briefing report.
00:50:26.760 Quote,
00:50:27.000 The vessel went dead, no steering
00:50:28.420 power, no electronics.
00:50:29.640 An officer aboard the ship said
00:50:30.800 Tuesday, one of the engines coughed
00:50:32.740 and then stopped.
00:50:33.460 The smell of burned fuel was
00:50:34.860 everywhere in the engine room, and
00:50:36.300 it was pitch black.
00:50:37.120 One cause of ship blackouts is
00:50:39.220 contaminated fuel that can create
00:50:40.500 problems with its main power
00:50:41.680 generators.
00:50:42.700 A complete blackout could result in a
00:50:44.080 ship losing propulsion, and that
00:50:45.220 smaller generators can kick in, but
00:50:47.080 they're unable to carry all the
00:50:48.260 functions of the main ones, and they
00:50:49.780 take time to start.
00:50:51.540 So, that's the working explanation of
00:50:53.780 what happened right now at the
00:50:55.940 moment.
00:50:56.760 A deliberate attack on the bridge was
00:50:58.640 ruled out almost immediately.
00:51:00.100 It was unclear at first how they
00:51:01.440 could have known so quickly that it
00:51:03.040 wasn't done intentionally, but it
00:51:04.860 makes sense now, you know, now that
00:51:06.500 we know that a mayday call was
00:51:08.100 issued from the ship alerting
00:51:09.520 police to shut down traffic.
00:51:11.500 If there was any sort of terrorist
00:51:13.020 attack, you probably wouldn't
00:51:14.720 perpetrate it at 1.30 in the
00:51:15.980 morning, first of all, when traffic
00:51:17.360 is at its lowest, and you almost
00:51:18.980 certainly wouldn't warn police ahead
00:51:20.660 of time to get everybody off the
00:51:22.340 bridge, unless these were the, you
00:51:25.080 know, most polite and thoughtful
00:51:26.740 terrorists the world has ever seen.
00:51:28.020 So, with terrorism likely put
00:51:30.740 aside, many other questions remain.
00:51:34.020 Plenty of valid questions.
00:51:35.660 But the media has already jumped in,
00:51:37.740 as they always do, to declare that
00:51:39.640 anybody asking any questions is
00:51:42.460 automatically a conspiracy theorist.
00:51:45.040 Rolling Stone and NBC News have both
00:51:46.720 run lengthy articles condemning the,
00:51:48.540 quote, right-wing conspiracy theories
00:51:50.300 surrounding the bridge collapse.
00:51:52.020 The Rolling Stone reports, quote,
00:51:53.600 right-wingers are more concerned with
00:51:55.500 using the incident to attack the
00:51:56.860 Biden administration and spread
00:51:58.040 conspiracy theories, as has become
00:51:59.700 the case with just about any news
00:52:00.960 making, with any news making a
00:52:03.660 tragedy in America.
00:52:04.540 Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the
00:52:05.740 American Conservative Union, said
00:52:07.100 on Newsmax that, quote, we've never
00:52:08.800 fully come out of all the lockdowns
00:52:10.420 and the COVID issues, adding that,
00:52:11.680 quote, if you talk to employers in
00:52:12.880 America, filling slots with 0.73
00:52:13.980 employees who aren't drug-addled is
00:52:15.520 a very huge problem.
00:52:17.120 He prefaced the implication that drugs
00:52:18.580 may have played a role by noting
00:52:19.760 that he is, quote, no expert on
00:52:21.460 what's going on on the seas.
00:52:23.300 Representative Nancy Mace suggested
00:52:24.600 Biden's Infrastructure Investment and
00:52:26.200 Jobs Act may be to blame.
00:52:27.880 Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack
00:52:29.440 Posobiec posted a picture of the
00:52:31.360 wreckage along with the caption,
00:52:32.600 POV, your president is Joe Biden.
00:52:35.080 Several right-wing accounts call for
00:52:36.440 Transportation Secretary Pete
00:52:37.760 Buttigieg to resign.
00:52:39.540 Several others blamed diversity,
00:52:41.160 equity, and inclusion initiatives.
00:52:43.740 Now, NBC News ran with an identical
00:52:45.360 narrative in their article.
00:52:46.600 And just to be clear, none of the
00:52:48.740 examples listed are conspiracy theories.
00:52:52.140 Some of them are theories.
00:52:54.320 Some of them are questions.
00:52:56.260 Some of them are just statements.
00:52:59.060 None of them are conspiracy theories.
00:53:01.580 They might be wrong.
00:53:02.760 They might be right.
00:53:03.720 They might be partially right.
00:53:05.180 They might not be right at all.
00:53:06.540 But none of them are conspiracy theories.
00:53:09.180 Did this collision have something to
00:53:10.640 do with the competency crisis?
00:53:12.060 Is that how the ship ended up with
00:53:13.180 contaminated fuel?
00:53:14.460 Maybe.
00:53:15.440 Maybe not.
00:53:16.520 Given that DEI is, at a minimum,
00:53:18.380 contributing greatly to the
00:53:19.360 competency crisis, does that have
00:53:21.540 something to do at some level,
00:53:22.900 somewhere along the line,
00:53:24.500 with this incident?
00:53:25.920 Again, maybe, maybe not.
00:53:27.420 We don't know yet.
00:53:29.040 It's a fair question.
00:53:30.500 Should Pete Buttigieg resign?
00:53:31.860 Well, he definitely should resign.
00:53:33.200 That was the case before this happened.
00:53:34.720 But when we notice that this,
00:53:36.720 you have this string of
00:53:38.580 transportation-related disasters
00:53:39.900 that have happened during his tenure,
00:53:41.400 is it fair to, you know,
00:53:44.740 ask these questions?
00:53:46.480 Of course it is.
00:53:48.200 None of these are conspiracy theories.
00:53:50.180 Like, not everything is a conspiracy theory.
00:53:53.820 These are potential explanations
00:53:55.700 or possible factors,
00:53:57.360 and all of them are perfectly
00:53:59.280 reasonable things to wonder about.
00:54:01.880 The term conspiracy theory
00:54:03.380 has lost all meaning,
00:54:05.180 as it is now used to mock and dismiss
00:54:07.200 basically any question a conservative
00:54:08.960 asks about any major news event,
00:54:11.220 or any possible explanation
00:54:12.580 that a conservative offers,
00:54:14.480 however reasonable it might be.
00:54:15.960 The moment you open your mouth
00:54:18.860 to say anything,
00:54:19.880 anything at all,
00:54:21.180 about an event that has just occurred,
00:54:23.140 it is automatically a conspiracy theory.
00:54:25.180 That's the way it works now.
00:54:26.480 And the only way to avoid that charge
00:54:28.380 is just to parrot exactly
00:54:29.940 what NBC News is telling you,
00:54:31.600 and not to stray from that script
00:54:33.060 by one single word.
00:54:35.040 That's what the term conspiracy theory
00:54:37.300 has come to denote.
00:54:39.020 But that's not what a conspiracy theory is.
00:54:41.980 Okay?
00:54:42.140 Well, I'll show you
00:54:44.020 what a conspiracy theory actually is.
00:54:46.020 Because there have been some
00:54:47.140 related to this bridge collapse.
00:54:48.860 A guy named Jimmy Corsetti tweeted this,
00:54:51.680 quote,
00:54:52.960 Oh my God, this can't be a coincidence.
00:54:55.660 The ship that crashed
00:54:56.360 into the Francis Scott Key Bridge
00:54:57.520 in Baltimore was headed to Sri Lanka.
00:54:59.400 The flag of Sri Lanka is a lion.
00:55:01.460 The ship in the opening scene
00:55:02.520 of Barack Obama's
00:55:03.320 Leave the World Behind
00:55:04.420 is named White Lion.
00:55:07.680 Okay.
00:55:08.640 So here's a conspiracy theory.
00:55:10.300 That's what a conspiracy theory looks like.
00:55:12.020 That's how it works.
00:55:13.220 But none of those examples
00:55:14.140 from Rolling Stone
00:55:14.940 are conspiracy theories.
00:55:16.220 That one is.
00:55:17.860 So Barack Obama
00:55:18.720 recently produced a film
00:55:20.060 for Netflix.
00:55:21.700 And from what I've heard,
00:55:22.600 it was pretty bad.
00:55:24.420 Neither here nor there.
00:55:25.680 Apparently in that film,
00:55:26.900 there's some kind of accident
00:55:27.940 involving a cargo ship.
00:55:29.860 And that ship's name
00:55:31.320 has the word lion in it.
00:55:32.840 And the flag of Sri Lanka
00:55:34.000 has a lion on it.
00:55:35.800 And the cargo ship in Baltimore
00:55:37.220 was headed to Sri Lanka.
00:55:38.880 And Jimmy insists that
00:55:39.920 this can't all be a coincidence.
00:55:42.600 But in fact,
00:55:43.340 this is a classic example
00:55:45.240 of a coincidence.
00:55:46.940 You could put that tweet
00:55:48.060 in the dictionary
00:55:49.060 under coincidence.
00:55:50.380 Perfect example of what one is.
00:55:52.720 What Jimmy is obviously implying
00:55:53.960 is that somehow Barack Obama
00:55:56.240 had something to do
00:55:57.260 with the bridge collapse,
00:55:58.100 which was in some weird,
00:55:59.640 indirect way foretold
00:56:01.300 in the film he produced.
00:56:03.100 Like,
00:56:03.980 why would Barack Obama
00:56:05.100 want to coordinate
00:56:06.040 the collision of a ship
00:56:07.460 into a bridge
00:56:08.220 at 1.30 in the morning?
00:56:09.220 What would he gain from that?
00:56:13.080 And why,
00:56:14.000 if he did,
00:56:14.820 why would he leave clues
00:56:16.380 about his plan
00:56:17.560 in a Julia Roberts movie
00:56:19.480 that came out six months ago?
00:56:21.840 And that's never explained
00:56:23.220 because, of course,
00:56:23.960 it makes no sense.
00:56:25.420 This is one of the features
00:56:26.680 of conspiracy theories,
00:56:28.020 actual conspiracy theories.
00:56:30.080 They are half-baked,
00:56:32.400 fanciful,
00:56:33.780 utterly baseless,
00:56:35.500 hinged on incredibly tortured
00:56:37.180 and tenuous connections
00:56:38.340 between wildly unconnected things.
00:56:40.780 And they also,
00:56:41.760 strangely enough,
00:56:42.520 often seem to assume
00:56:43.500 that the nefarious forces
00:56:45.480 coordinating these
00:56:46.560 catastrophic events
00:56:47.320 always like to leave
00:56:48.380 breadcrumbs.
00:56:49.580 They like to leave little clues
00:56:50.780 as to their sinister plots
00:56:52.160 so that random accounts
00:56:53.700 on Twitter
00:56:54.180 can put the pieces together.
00:56:55.880 A conspiracy theorist,
00:56:58.520 an actual conspiracy theorist,
00:57:00.280 lives in a fantasy world
00:57:02.580 based on superhero movies
00:57:04.480 that he's watched.
00:57:05.740 And in his world,
00:57:06.820 the bad guys are,
00:57:07.620 you know,
00:57:07.760 the kind of movie villains
00:57:08.640 who deliver evil monologues
00:57:10.720 explaining their plans
00:57:12.120 right before they're caught.
00:57:13.660 So that's a conspiracy theory.
00:57:16.580 Here's another one.
00:57:17.560 I just watched Biden's presser
00:57:20.880 on the Key Bridge collapse
00:57:22.380 in Baltimore
00:57:23.020 and I just wanted to come to you guys
00:57:24.820 with a few questions.
00:57:26.120 Okay, great,
00:57:26.600 the government's there,
00:57:27.340 but he also said
00:57:28.560 that this was an accident,
00:57:30.500 period.
00:57:31.540 Nothing about an investigation,
00:57:33.180 nothing about where the boat's from,
00:57:34.520 too, anything.
00:57:35.320 Just it was an accident
00:57:36.100 and we're going to take care of it
00:57:37.440 and we're not leaving until it's done.
00:57:38.860 So take that how you will.
00:57:40.460 Please discuss below.
00:57:41.700 I can only say so much.
00:57:42.760 You guys know that.
00:57:43.760 But I also want to say
00:57:45.000 and point out,
00:57:45.700 don't let this also mask you
00:57:48.700 from seeing what's going on
00:57:49.780 with P. Diddy,
00:57:51.420 Puff Daddy
00:57:52.020 and that whole conglomerate
00:57:53.820 of you-know-what.
00:57:56.420 I've been saying it forever.
00:57:58.180 It's finally going down.
00:57:59.560 Is it a coincidence
00:58:00.120 that this was a container ship
00:58:02.240 hitting a major port bridge
00:58:04.640 on the exact same time
00:58:06.680 that his houses get invaded?
00:58:08.580 That's also a lunar eclipse
00:58:11.340 or a full moon
00:58:12.140 or some kind of moon
00:58:13.860 that happened last night.
00:58:14.640 Remember, I did a TikTok on it.
00:58:15.900 I'm like, guys,
00:58:16.680 you haven't seen the moon yet.
00:58:17.520 Go out and look at it.
00:58:18.140 It's pretty wild.
00:58:19.180 You can't tell me
00:58:20.280 that this isn't all connected.
00:58:23.420 Some kind of moon
00:58:24.340 happened last night.
00:58:25.040 Well, I'm glad
00:58:25.340 that some kind of moon happened.
00:58:26.780 I mean, if there was no kind of moon,
00:58:28.140 we'd be in big trouble.
00:58:29.900 She says we can't tell her
00:58:31.360 that this isn't connected.
00:58:32.640 Well, I can tell you that
00:58:34.380 because it isn't.
00:58:35.240 The moon certainly
00:58:36.060 has nothing to do with anything.
00:58:38.120 And Diddy's house
00:58:39.040 getting raided in Los Angeles
00:58:40.420 and Miami
00:58:41.420 for sex trafficking
00:58:42.400 would not seem
00:58:44.120 to have any bearing
00:58:45.000 on a shipping accident
00:58:46.220 in Baltimore?
00:58:47.540 Like, what even is
00:58:48.540 the theory here?
00:58:49.760 The government conducted
00:58:50.800 these large, dramatic raids
00:58:52.200 against a very famous person
00:58:53.380 and tried to distract from it
00:58:54.760 by, what,
00:58:55.380 forcing a Singaporean ship
00:58:56.820 to slam into a bridge?
00:58:58.880 How did that work exactly?
00:59:00.200 Did they tell them
00:59:01.760 they had to?
00:59:02.380 Did they,
00:59:03.180 did like,
00:59:03.940 did Navy SEALs
00:59:05.300 take over the ship
00:59:06.980 and do it themselves?
00:59:07.580 Like, how did that work?
00:59:10.000 And, and why?
00:59:11.460 What would that achieve exactly?
00:59:14.140 The answer is
00:59:14.960 absolutely nothing.
00:59:16.380 People are still interested
00:59:17.640 in the Diddy case
00:59:18.560 and will continue to be.
00:59:20.520 So, this is,
00:59:21.860 this is another characteristic
00:59:23.100 of actual conspiracy theorists.
00:59:25.520 They are constantly claiming
00:59:26.880 that this or that event
00:59:28.540 is meant to distract
00:59:29.640 from some other event.
00:59:31.460 Right?
00:59:31.700 Everything that happens
00:59:32.600 is like,
00:59:33.880 it's either the thing,
00:59:35.320 it's, it's like the one,
00:59:36.220 there's like one thing
00:59:37.360 that's actually happening
00:59:38.200 in the world
00:59:38.640 and then everything else
00:59:40.560 that's happening
00:59:41.000 is to distract
00:59:41.840 from that one thing.
00:59:43.440 Because we live in a world
00:59:44.400 where only one thing
00:59:45.200 can happen at a time.
00:59:46.280 You know,
00:59:46.420 it's not possible.
00:59:47.660 Well, how could
00:59:48.100 Diddy's house be raided
00:59:49.320 and then there's an accident
00:59:50.360 in the same week?
00:59:53.480 Well, I don't know
00:59:54.400 because we live
00:59:55.040 on a planet
00:59:56.840 with eight billion people
00:59:58.100 and there's stuff
00:59:58.940 happening all the time.
01:00:00.100 I mean, there's like
01:00:00.760 billions of things
01:00:02.180 happening every second
01:00:03.360 of the day.
01:00:03.920 So they imagine
01:00:06.760 that the government
01:00:07.340 is not only sinister,
01:00:09.600 which of course
01:00:10.200 the government
01:00:10.540 is sinister,
01:00:11.400 but also as something
01:00:13.500 capable of pulling off
01:00:14.800 one complicated caper
01:00:16.420 after another,
01:00:18.140 keeping everybody quiet
01:00:19.160 about all of it forever
01:00:20.340 and doing all of this
01:00:22.480 most of the time
01:00:23.880 for no other reason
01:00:25.400 than to distract us.
01:00:27.360 Which means that
01:00:28.220 these evil geniuses 0.63
01:00:29.500 who have this capability
01:00:30.960 still have not noticed
01:00:33.180 somehow after all
01:00:34.240 of these years
01:00:34.900 that none of their
01:00:36.220 distractions actually work
01:00:37.960 and the public
01:00:39.500 doesn't actually
01:00:40.520 pay attention
01:00:41.200 to any of their
01:00:42.100 distractions for more
01:00:42.880 than like a day
01:00:43.860 and a half.
01:00:45.800 I mean,
01:00:46.440 because that's
01:00:46.740 by tomorrow
01:00:47.860 no one's talking
01:00:48.480 about the bridge collapse
01:00:49.160 anymore.
01:00:49.640 Not because it's not
01:00:50.120 important,
01:00:50.460 but because nobody
01:00:50.980 no one talks about
01:00:52.020 anything for more
01:00:52.700 than a day and a half.
01:00:53.700 Anything.
01:00:55.100 So if you want
01:00:55.820 to distract us
01:00:56.600 for a day and a half,
01:00:57.800 there are much easier
01:00:59.260 and more efficient
01:00:59.900 ways to do it.
01:01:00.880 Joe Biden could just
01:01:01.900 trip going up
01:01:03.020 the stairs again
01:01:03.860 and that would
01:01:05.080 occupy our attention
01:01:05.900 for at least as long
01:01:07.060 as a bridge collapse.
01:01:09.120 So actual conspiracy theorists
01:01:10.680 live in a world
01:01:11.260 where bad things
01:01:13.240 never happen on their own,
01:01:14.980 accidents never happen,
01:01:16.560 coincidences are impossible,
01:01:18.740 and anything that seems
01:01:20.280 remotely strange
01:01:21.440 or anomalous
01:01:22.120 must automatically
01:01:23.520 have a complex,
01:01:25.380 dastardly,
01:01:26.800 quite cinematic explanation
01:01:29.120 explanation behind it.
01:01:31.380 And that's because
01:01:31.840 actual conspiracy theorists
01:01:33.240 use conspiracy theories
01:01:35.380 as a way of coping
01:01:36.740 with the randomness
01:01:38.540 and uncertainty of life.
01:01:40.180 That's what's really
01:01:40.960 happening here
01:01:41.460 on a psychological level.
01:01:42.860 They are afraid
01:01:43.500 to admit that
01:01:44.320 in the real world,
01:01:46.180 bad stuff happens
01:01:47.160 and things go wrong
01:01:48.320 very frequently,
01:01:49.960 like basically
01:01:50.600 all the time,
01:01:52.300 you know,
01:01:52.960 and this makes them
01:01:53.920 feel vulnerable.
01:01:54.660 So they invent
01:01:55.760 a new version
01:01:56.480 of the world
01:01:56.940 where everything
01:01:57.620 is deliberate
01:01:58.180 and human agency
01:01:59.720 controls everything.
01:02:01.600 This makes them feel
01:02:02.820 in an odd way safer.
01:02:05.620 And it keeps them
01:02:06.560 entertained,
01:02:07.340 which, you know,
01:02:07.940 is the main thing,
01:02:08.660 of course.
01:02:09.600 And that's what
01:02:10.360 conspiracy theories
01:02:11.160 are about.
01:02:12.440 It's easy to lose
01:02:13.440 track of that
01:02:14.040 because 99%
01:02:15.480 of what the media
01:02:16.480 calls conspiracy theories
01:02:17.640 these days
01:02:18.520 aren't actually
01:02:19.520 conspiracy theories.
01:02:21.320 And that's why
01:02:22.260 the actual
01:02:23.860 bridge collapse
01:02:24.460 conspiracy theorists
01:02:25.260 and the media outlets
01:02:26.240 accusing the rest
01:02:26.980 of us of being
01:02:27.640 conspiracy theorists
01:02:28.360 when we're not
01:02:28.920 are all today
01:02:30.400 canceled.
01:02:32.180 That'll do it
01:02:32.640 for the show today.
01:02:33.100 Thanks for watching.
01:02:33.620 Thanks for listening.
01:02:34.400 Talk to you tomorrow.
01:02:35.540 Godspeed.
01:02:35.820 We'll be right back.
