00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Donald Trump plans to combat anti-white policies in his second term.
00:00:04.740 This is news that has been met with rage on the left, where anti-whiteism is a forbidden topic, of course.
00:00:10.560 Also, police finally move in and tear down the UCLA protester encampment.
00:00:14.640 This came after the protesters made a list of demands, including meals that are vegan-friendly and gluten-free.
00:00:20.580 Kristi Noem continues to defend herself against charges of puppy murder.
00:00:23.660 And Democrats and Republicans come together in a bipartisan way to craft one of the worst pieces of legislation we have ever seen.
00:00:29.640 All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:31.760 I want my kids to be prepared for the future
00:01:01.760 opportunities before them.

00:01:50.720 One of the biggest questions surrounding a potential second Trump presidency is how exactly it would differ from the first one.
00:01:56.540 Now, normally presidents don't have to address this question in quite the same way when they're running for a second term.
00:02:01.360 They can just promise more of the same.
00:02:02.860 But for Trump, he's obviously been out of office for a few years.
00:02:05.720 He's one of a handful of presidents in American history seeking a non-consecutive term.
00:02:10.560 And quite a bit has changed since 2020.
00:02:13.280 And as even Trump's most devoted supporters would admit, he wasn't able to achieve all of his promises in his first four years in office.
00:02:19.960 So it stands to reason that accomplishing those goals the second time around might require something of a new approach in certain areas.
00:02:26.520 And on Tuesday, we got one of the clearest signs yet that Donald Trump will indeed be taking a new approach concerning one of the biggest problems that this country faces.
00:02:34.860 And one which directly impacts more than 200 million Americans at every stage of their life, from schooling to the workplace, to government assistance, health care.
00:02:44.400 I'm talking about anti-whiteism.
00:02:46.340 Now, this is a word that's more or less verboten, even in conservative circles, unlike, say, anti-Semitism.
00:02:52.040 But in an interview with Time magazine this week, Trump confirmed that combating anti-white racism by name will be one of the key goals of his administration if he wins re-election.
00:03:03.720 Trump was responding to a question about polls showing that most of his supporters believe correctly that anti-white racism is a much bigger problem in this country right now than anti-black racism.
00:03:14.780 And to that, Trump said, quote, oh, I think there is a lot to be said about that.
00:03:18.380 If you look at the Biden administration, they're sort of against anybody, depending on certain views.
00:03:22.420 They're against Catholics.
00:03:23.700 They're against a lot of different people.
00:03:25.260 They actually don't even know what they're against, but they're against a lot.
00:03:28.440 But no, I think there's a definite anti-white feeling in this country, and that can't be allowed either.
00:03:34.000 If you look right now, there's absolutely a bias against white, and that's a problem.
00:03:39.440 Unfortunately, I can't do a Trump impression, or that quote would have been much better.
00:03:42.600 But you get the point.
00:03:43.780 And this really shouldn't have been a significant moment in the presidential race.
00:03:49.260 It should have had all the significance of a candidate affirming that the sky is blue.
00:03:53.500 And Trump doesn't even say in that quote that anti-white racism is more prevalent than any other type of racism, though it is.
00:04:00.280 He doesn't even say that.
00:04:01.260 Instead, he just says that there is some amount of anti-white sentiment in the country, and that is also bad.
00:04:07.580 Like, it's bad to hate everybody for their skin color, including white people.
00:04:11.620 That's Trump's position, perfectly rational, reasonable position, should be the position that everybody has.
00:04:18.380 And there shouldn't be anything notable about it.
00:04:20.160 But it was a surprising moment, even for Trump supporters, because in his first term, Trump rarely, if ever, mentioned the concept of anti-whiteism so explicitly.
00:04:29.160 I went back and couldn't find any examples of it.
00:04:32.000 But a couple of years ago, Trump pointed out that the Biden administration was giving preferential medical treatment to non-white Americans.
00:04:39.020 And in the past several months, former Trump advisor Stephen Miller has been targeting anti-white institutions with lawsuits.
00:04:45.900 And now Trump himself is recognizing the broader problem with anti-whiteism in our culture, which is a very good thing.
00:04:53.100 Him recognizing it, not the problem that is.
00:04:54.840 Now, you can tell this moment caught the left by surprise, because the mere acknowledgment that anti-whiteism exists was enough to reduce some commentators practically to tears.
00:05:06.840 Here, for example, was the reaction from Whoopi Goldberg.
00:05:09.920 Watch.
00:05:11.120 This is my favorite.
00:05:12.760 Yeah.
00:05:13.180 And I'm going to tell you before I say it that it enraged me.
00:05:19.260 There is a definite anti-white feeling in the country right now.
00:05:23.560 Oh, please.
00:05:25.140 That's what he said.
00:05:26.440 You know, sir.
00:05:27.420 Sir?
00:05:28.560 Yeah, sir.
00:05:31.700 Nobody in your family was hung.
00:05:36.220 Nobody in your family was chased because of the color of their skin.
00:05:40.260 How dare you?
00:05:41.580 There's no anti-white issue here.
00:05:45.380 You are perpetrating anti-humanist issues here.
00:05:51.480 Enraged.
00:05:52.080 She was enraged by the mere mention.
00:05:54.260 The mere mention that there might be some people who don't like white people, and that's not a good thing, enraged her.
00:06:01.080 Nobody in your family was hung, Whoopi Goldberg barks at Donald Trump.
00:06:04.600 And, you know, by the way, I don't want to get too graphic, but that's one of the few cases where the difference between the words hanged and hung is actually pretty important.
00:06:16.260 Unless Whoopi Goldberg has some kind of intimate knowledge of Trump's family that I'm not aware of.
00:06:22.000 But anyway, she also claims that Donald Trump is anti-humanist, which makes it clear that she doesn't know what humanism is.
00:06:29.100 And from context, though, it seems like Whoopi is saying that because no one in Donald Trump's family was lynched, that means, therefore, anti-whiteism can't possibly exist today.
00:06:39.400 Or maybe she's also implying that white people in general were never lynched, and then she's using that false premise to somehow conclude that anti-whiteism can't possibly exist today.
00:06:49.080 Whatever your interpretation, it doesn't work.
00:06:51.700 It doesn't make sense.
00:06:52.240 Because for one thing, the biggest mass lynching in this country, in this country's history, targeted Italians, who Whoopi Goldberg would presumably classify as white.
00:07:03.800 White people were not immune from lynchings, in fact.
00:07:06.560 In fact, according to a document on the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law's website tracking lynchings by race from the years 1882 to 1968, there were 1,297 lynchings of white people during that time.
00:07:20.440 Now, that's fewer than the 3,445 black lynchings, but the point is that you certainly can't assume that any white person alive today doesn't have a lynching victim in their ancestral history.
00:07:32.100 But even if you pretend that that's not true, even if you pretend that lynching has only ever involved black people, it still doesn't remotely address the fact that anti-whiteism is a much bigger problem right now than anti-black racism.
00:07:43.100 You notice, and this is the way it always goes, she's responding to a comment referring to what's happening now, and her response automatically goes to the past.
00:07:55.460 We're not talking about the past, Whoopi, if you can believe it.
00:07:58.020 We're actually talking about what's happening right now.
00:08:00.480 So her entire argument is a non-secretary.
00:08:03.400 But it's notable that Whoopi Goldberg was so fired up about this, and indeed, many Democrats are.
00:08:08.800 Earlier this month, Congressman Cedric Richmond, a co-chair of Biden's campaign, warned that Trump is, quote,
00:08:14.520 making it clear that if he wins in November, he'll turn his racist record into official government policy,
00:08:19.580 gutting programs that give communities of color economic opportunities, and making the lives of black and brown folks harder.
00:08:26.140 Richmond made those comments in response to an Axios report last month entitled,
00:08:29.840 Trump Allies Plot Anti-Racism Protections for White People.
00:08:34.740 Oh, imagine that.
00:08:35.600 Specifically, a new Trump administration would shut down various programs designed to benefit only certain demographic groups.
00:08:41.780 That includes programs like the $29 billion pandemic era program that would have awarded money only to women in minority-owned restaurants.
00:08:49.540 Stephen Miller's group, America First Legal, successfully sued to stop that one.
00:08:53.680 But there are many more programs like that, which a Trump DOJ would shut down, hopefully.
00:08:58.740 That's what he's saying he'll do.
00:08:59.800 That includes the NFL's Rooney Rule, which mandates interviews with minority coaches, for example,
00:09:05.140 but has no such mandates for white coaches, much less for white players, certainly.
00:09:10.060 And presumably, a second Trump administration would also end the absurd lawsuit against Sheetz for daring to use criminal background checks,
00:09:16.120 which allege that any employer using background checks is automatically racist.
00:09:20.640 And this potential return to a race-blind government that respects the Constitution and, you know,
00:09:27.000 actually treats everybody equally under the law, regardless of race, which is what is supposed to happen.
00:09:31.640 That potential greatly infuriates the left.
00:09:35.500 And a greatly infuriated woman named Jasmine Harris, who directs black media for the Biden-Harris campaign.
00:09:41.180 Because, yes, they apparently have a segregated media department at the Biden campaign.
00:09:45.000 And they deal with black media, you know, separately.
00:09:48.700 But here's what she said, quote,
00:09:50.200 This Axios report, in addition to all of the recent examples of shameless racism by Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans,
00:09:55.940 serves as a warning to black America.
00:09:57.960 Donald Trump is a selfish and vindictive man who doesn't give a damn about black people.
00:10:02.180 He will make our lives worse by using the very laws that the pioneers of the civil rights movement fought for, against us.
00:10:09.080 Now, there's actually an interesting admission buried in that quote.
00:10:11.300 The Biden black media director isn't alleging that Donald Trump is going to do anything illegal.
00:10:18.280 Instead, she's complaining that he's going to enforce existing civil rights laws,
00:10:22.340 which were supposedly intended to ensure racial equality.
00:10:26.020 He's going to enforce them equally.
00:10:27.920 And this is a totally foreign concept to the Biden campaign.
00:10:30.800 They're essentially admitting that they're discriminating against whites in violation of civil rights laws.
00:10:35.240 But they're saying those laws just shouldn't be enforced to protect white people, who they see, obviously, as second-class citizens.
00:10:43.780 Yesterday afternoon, we saw yet another sign of this attitude.
00:10:46.280 The Biden campaign's official rapid response page tweeted this clip of Donald Trump,
00:10:50.540 apparently in an effort to make him look bad, we can assume, I mean, because it's coming from the Biden campaign.
00:10:55.480 But they just tweeted the clip.
00:10:57.380 But the clip itself is actually more of an advertisement for the Trump campaign, which we can assume is not how it was intended.
00:11:04.340 But here it is. Watch.
00:11:06.120 Look at Paris.
00:11:07.600 Look at London.
00:11:09.160 They're no longer recognizable.
00:11:11.100 And I'm going to get myself into a lot of trouble with the folks in Paris and the folks in London.
00:11:15.900 But you know what?
00:11:17.400 That's the fact.
00:11:18.560 They are no longer recognizable.
00:11:20.660 And we can't let that happen to our country.
00:11:22.580 We have incredible culture, tradition, nothing wrong with their culture, their tradition.
00:11:28.600 We can't let that happen here.
00:11:29.860 And I'll never let it happen to the United States of America.
00:11:33.500 Now, the Biden campaign didn't even comment on that video.
00:11:36.060 They just posted it, quoting every word Trump said.
00:11:38.340 And that's because they know everything Trump said is true.
00:11:40.460 Pretty much all of the population growth in the U.K. going forward is going to be driven by migration.
00:11:44.740 That's been the case for the last several years, too.
00:11:47.220 The unstated result is that fewer white people will live in the U.K.,
00:11:49.780 which the Biden administration assumes you'll think is a good thing.
00:11:52.920 And that's because, in their view, it's not racist to deliberately diminish white populations.
00:11:57.060 It's also not racist to violate the civil rights of white people.
00:12:00.640 In fact, they don't believe that it's possible to be racist against whites in the first place.
00:12:05.600 This is what underlies all of this, is the assumption, the belief that,
00:12:10.700 well, none of this is racist against whites because it's not possible to be racist against whites.
00:12:14.000 I mean, you could put a law in place mandating that all white people be rounded up and killed,
00:12:20.200 and it would not be racist against white people.
00:12:22.580 That's what they actually believe.
00:12:23.800 This is an idea that originated in the bowels of left-wing academia and critical race theory,
00:12:28.820 and it's since metastasized to politics.
00:12:31.280 Here's how one professor in the U.K. named Pragya Argawal puts it,
00:12:36.020 and see if you can spot the massive flaw in this reasoning.
00:12:38.900 It's pretty, you know, it's not hard to spot.
00:12:40.680 White people can indeed face stereotypical assumptions based on their skin color and hence encounter racial prejudice.
00:12:46.820 But this cannot be called racism because of the inherent systemic imbalance of power between those with lighter skin color and people of color.
00:12:53.780 Racial prejudice can affect people of an individual level,
00:12:56.020 but it would not have the same effect on a larger social and cultural level because it is only when stereotypes are bolstered by power that it creates systemic and structural racism.
00:13:04.320 In other words, she's saying that white people can't be the victims of racism because racism involves power and systemic imbalance,
00:13:12.180 and white people have all the power.
00:13:14.180 Now, it takes about two seconds to realize that, even on its own terms, this argument makes precisely no sense whatsoever.
00:13:20.760 The Fortune 500 companies that award preferential treatment to non-white applicants have far more power than their white applicants do.
00:13:28.400 And so do the universities that award black applicants a 500-point boost on their SAT scores.
00:13:33.500 And the federal government agencies that award financial assistance to various demographic groups on the basis of their race.
00:13:38.560 In all of these cases, there is prejudice backed by power, extraordinary power.
00:13:43.040 Actually, we're talking about academia, the Fortune 500 companies, and the federal government.
00:13:46.760 Like, what's more powerful than all of those institutions combined, or any one of the institutions by themselves?
00:13:53.020 But there's really no point in engaging with critical race theory on the merits, though, because it's not actually meant to convince anyone of anything.
00:13:58.800 It's intended to be a thin, allegedly scholarly veneer that justifies overt discrimination against millions of Americans.
00:14:05.600 And the appropriate response to this kind of thinking is not to treat it with any kind of legitimacy whatsoever.
00:14:10.460 It's to call it what it is, anti-white racism, or anti-whiteism.
00:14:14.780 That's what Donald Trump has just done.
00:14:17.820 It's what every Republican should be doing right now.
00:14:20.720 Talking about anti-whiteism infuriates Democrats, because it's been an unstated core part of their policy agenda for several years.
00:14:29.900 And now, for the first time since Biden took office, it looks like it could be, very soon, coming to an end.
00:14:38.500 Let's get to our five headlines.
00:14:44.780 Are you or someone you know fighting the battle against cancer?
00:14:48.660 Well, for the last 25 years, NVIDA Medical Centers have been pioneering personalized, cutting-edge treatment programs for patients all over the world.
00:14:55.620 NVIDA has been the leader for patients looking for advanced immunotherapy and genetically targeted therapies, all while focusing on fewer side effects and better patient outcomes.
00:15:03.080 As a global leader in oncology care, NVIDA is committed to healthcare freedom for all.
00:15:07.400 They've spearheaded a revolution in employer health insurance options, empowering companies to provide their employees with access to not only top doctors, hospitals, and technologies, but also, first-of-its-kind, nationwide personalized medicine coverage.
00:15:20.200 NVIDA is doing all this, plus offering significant tax and cost savings, full transparency, and liberation from the grip of commercial insurance carriers.
00:15:26.980 Whether you're a patient in need or a company looking to break free of monopolized healthcare insurance, NVIDA could have the solution for you.
00:15:34.020 To learn more about their treatment options, visit NVIDA.com or visit NVIDAHealth.com to learn more about their company insurance programs.
00:15:41.380 That's NVIDA, spelled E-N-V-I-T-A.com for treatment options, or NVIDAHealth.com to learn more about the company insurance programs.
00:15:50.520 Okay, back to the campus chaos.
00:15:51.800 Pro-Hamas, police finally cleared out the illegal encampment at UCLA last night, but before that happened, UCLA, like the students at Columbia had the day before, made demands.
00:16:01.700 Daily Wire has a report.
00:16:02.700 Pro-Hamas protesters at UCLA released a list of needs this week as they isolate themselves while living in an encampment that authorities have deemed to be unlawful.
00:16:10.280 The needs were written in a Google document posted online by the local chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine.
00:16:15.120 We will not leave, said the protesters in the so-called UCLA-Palestine solidarity camp.
00:16:19.000 We will remain here until our demands are met.
00:16:21.020 Fox News correspondent Bill Mulligan obtained the online document on Wednesday and posted it on X.
00:16:26.020 Included in the list of urgent needs were items that are often used by rioters like Antifa, including airsoft goggles, gas mask respirators, skater helmets, shields, wood for barriers, knee and elbow pads, rain ponchos, canopies, utility gloves of various sizes, super bright flashlights with strobe, and umbrellas.
00:16:43.860 But the protesters also demanded medical supplies, including EpiPens, non-steroid inhalers, headlamps, and organizational bins.
00:16:52.380 And for food, the protesters demanded, quote, hot food for lunch, vegan food, gluten-free food, ice, no packaged food, no coffee, no bagels, no bananas, and no nuts.
00:17:05.220 Under logistic needs, the agitators said they needed sleeping pads, AA, AAA, C and D batteries, rope, zip ties, electric solar panel generators, lotion, aquaphor, but no sunscreen.
00:17:19.360 No sunscreen.
00:17:20.400 I don't know.
00:17:20.680 They specifically don't want sunscreen.
00:17:24.040 I can't, sure, I'm not sure I understand that.
00:17:27.320 So, once again, this is all fake.
00:17:30.100 I mean, these people are incredibly fake.
00:17:31.720 They posture as revolutionaries and militants conducting some kind of occupation, yet they require hot food, hot food, with plenty of dietary options for vegans and those with gluten sensitivities.
00:17:44.320 Along with requiring, of course, lotion, zip ties, knee pads, wait a second, lotion, zip ties, knee pads.
00:17:57.340 I don't even want to know.
00:17:58.660 I don't want to know what they're getting up to.
00:18:00.120 We can only speculate.
00:18:01.160 I don't want to speculate.
00:18:02.580 But this is what they're asking for.
00:18:04.420 And, of course, if these people showed any willingness to experience any actual suffering, any actual deprivation, if they showed any willingness to make any kind of sacrifices whatsoever, then maybe I would at least believe that they are serious and sincere, if also still wrong.
00:18:23.220 Like, they'd still be wrong, but I wish that they were at least serious and sincere in their wrongness, okay?
00:18:29.300 Because it's not the worst thing for a young person to be radically wrong, to just throw themselves totally into something and believe in it completely and be willing to make major sacrifices for it, and yet it turns out that that thing is foolhardy and incorrect.
00:18:44.780 Young people have been doing that since the dawn of time.
00:18:48.360 That's not the worst thing.
00:18:49.440 And, in fact, I would say if you're a young person, you know, as you get older, you want to be able to practice moderation and you start to see, hopefully you start to practice discernment a little bit better.
00:19:00.300 But when you're young and you have ideals and you have principles and you just say, like, I'm going to radically live by these, and I think that's not a bad thing.
00:19:11.240 But the problem is, it's like the worst of all worlds for these particular, I'm not going to say every person in Gen Z, because that's not the case.
00:19:21.980 But for the ones like this, it's the worst of all worlds, because they're totally wrong.
00:19:27.840 And on top of that, they're not even bold and honest enough to be authentically radical.
00:19:34.420 So, as we talked about yesterday, it's all this performance.
00:19:38.040 So, they're wrong in a performative way, rather than being wrong in an authentic and truly radical way.
00:19:45.240 I would prefer that they weren't wrong at all.
00:19:46.960 But if you're going to be wrong in one way or another, then at least be authentic.
00:19:51.020 And, again, if you're willing, I say the same thing with these climate, you know, the climate types, the climate alarmists.
00:19:57.600 It's like, okay, if you're going to pretend, well, if you're going to say that the world's coming to an end, that we're killing the planet, all these sorts of things,
00:20:06.620 and then you decide, like, hey, I really believe this, and so I'm going to live according to this,
00:20:12.260 and I'm going to swear off all modern technology, I'm not going to use any modern technology,
00:20:16.580 I'm not going to use electricity, I'm not going to use any of that, I don't want to contribute to the warming of the planet.
00:20:21.060 I'm going to live in the woods, I'm going to live in a cave somewhere, I don't know, and eat berries,
00:20:26.600 and live like John the Baptist, eating locusts and berries.
00:20:31.580 Now, I think that you're totally wrong, you don't need to go do all that,
00:20:37.140 but I can at least respect that you're being authentic, and you're living according to your principles,
00:20:43.700 and you're totally invested in it, and you're fully bought in, and I can respect that.
00:20:48.740 But instead, like with the climate activists, they'll go stand in the middle of the street,
00:20:52.220 they'll hold signs, but then they'll just go and live their lives, and do the same things that all of us do,
00:20:56.620 and avail themselves of all the modern technology, and contribute, you know,
00:21:01.120 and they'll have a quote-unquote carbon footprint that's just the same size as the rest of us.
00:21:05.640 So it's all fake, it's all completely fake, these people are total phonies and frauds.
00:21:11.400 But they were able to continue this performance for a week until finally the police moved in.
00:21:15.760 BBC has a report about that.
00:21:16.900 Dozens of protesters were detained and loaded onto buses as police dismantled their week-long protest.
00:21:22.220 The total arrests were 1,000, okay, well, that was 1,000 total arrests for U.S. campus protests across the country.
00:21:30.700 I don't think we know exactly how many people were arrested at UCLA, but they did finally move in.
00:21:35.280 Again, after a week, after a week, they finally moved in, and here's what that looked like when they did.
00:21:41.120 Get out!
00:21:41.740 Rest, rest!
00:21:42.620 Get back!
00:21:45.420 Get back!
00:21:46.420 Get back!
00:21:47.020 Get back!
00:21:47.120 Get back!
00:21:47.820 Get back!
00:21:48.120 Get back!
00:21:48.820 Get back!
00:21:50.320 Get back!
00:21:51.200 Get back!
00:21:52.220 Get back!
00:22:13.700 Get back!
00:22:15.840 Get back!
00:22:17.000 So you see the dorks standing there with their umbrellas and bicycle helmets.
00:22:30.700 I mean, you know, just to show you how fake all this is, this is their fortification.
00:22:37.640 That is, they're defending themselves with bicycle helmets and umbrellas, okay?
00:22:42.860 And as, you know, the police moved in and they cleared the place out and it took, you know, it took not that long.
00:22:50.420 They could have done it even quicker.
00:22:52.720 They could have done it within the first 30 minutes of a tent being set up.
00:22:59.860 And we also know that, like, they could stop any of this from ever happening again, just like they could stop the climate alarmists from standing in the middle of the road or vandalizing, you know, a priceless piece of artwork at an art museum.
00:23:20.300 They could stop all of that completely just by taking one of those people and throwing them in prison for 10 years.
00:23:28.680 Like, take one of the people.
00:23:30.040 Now, I'd like you to see them throw the book at all of the lawbreakers, but just take one of them.
00:23:35.000 Take one of them and charge them with every single crime that you legally can and go for the absolute max.
00:23:41.500 And they get 10, 15 years in prison and all of this stops forever.
00:23:46.180 Like, it doesn't happen again.
00:23:47.120 None of these people, none of these dorks with their umbrellas and bicycle helmets would ever consider risking real prison time for this.
00:23:56.180 They wouldn't even think about it.
00:23:57.760 But they operate under the assumption that there won't be any actual consequences, and it turns out that their assumption is usually correct.
00:24:07.620 So the police cleared it out.
00:24:09.000 The fortifications didn't hold.
00:24:10.500 I don't know if you could see it in that video, but they had, these protesters had fortified their encampment with plywood, which they had stacked against pallets.
00:24:22.580 This was their fortification.
00:24:24.100 Which, by the way, again, where did all that stuff come from?
00:24:29.340 Okay, plywood is not cheap.
00:24:31.020 Like, they constructed these flimsy walls with plywood and pallets, and each piece of plywood costs, what, 30 bucks or something?
00:24:41.700 And then the pallets as well?
00:24:42.880 So who's paying for that?
00:24:44.700 Where are they getting it?
00:24:46.380 Who's shipping it in?
00:24:48.260 How does this work exactly?
00:24:49.380 Those are the questions that, you know, it would be nice for someone to ask, but nobody does.
00:24:55.380 Okay, Cricketgate, or Doggate, continues.
00:24:59.360 Kristi Noem was on with Sean Hannity last night, responding to all the outrage over her putting her dog down 20 years ago, because this is something that people are still talking about.
00:25:08.800 And Kristi Noem is still talking about.
00:25:10.040 And so here's what she, this was her way of defending herself again, and her decision to kill her dog 20 years ago.
00:25:17.320 Here's what she said.
00:25:18.280 Well, Sean, you know how the fake news works.
00:25:20.880 They leave out some or most of the facts of a story.
00:25:23.640 They put the worst spin on it.
00:25:25.260 And that's what's happened in this case.
00:25:26.860 I hope people really do buy this book and they find out the truth of this story, because the truth of this story is that this was a working dog.
00:25:33.340 And it was not a puppy.
00:25:35.920 It was a dog that was extremely dangerous.
00:25:39.160 It had come to us from a family who had found her way too aggressive.
00:25:42.500 We were her second chance.
00:25:43.880 And she was, the day she was put down was a day that she massacred livestock that were part of our neighbors.
00:25:51.600 She attacked me.
00:25:52.900 And it was a hard decision.
00:25:54.280 And the reason it's in the book is because this book is filled with tough, challenging decisions that I've had to make throughout my life.
00:26:00.460 And I hope that people understand from this that what the point of this story is, is that most politicians, they will run from the truth.
00:26:08.680 They will shy away and hide from making tough decisions.
00:26:12.740 I don't do either of those.
00:26:14.220 I tell the truth and I make tough decisions.
00:26:16.220 People attacked me during COVID for keeping my state open.
00:26:19.260 They called me wrong and attacked me night after night on TV for not doing mandates and not forcing people to get vaccines or wear masks.
00:26:26.780 They're doing it again now with this.
00:26:28.920 I just hope people will read the book, find out the truth, because this was a dangerous animal.
00:26:32.980 And I had a choice between keeping my small children and other people safe or a dangerous animal.
00:26:38.380 And I chose the safety of my children.
00:26:41.020 You know, I was shocked when we learned that Joe Biden and he has a German shepherd that when all was said and done, 24 Secret Service agents were bitten by a German shepherd, by a big dog.
00:26:54.080 You got to love Sean Hannity.
00:26:58.140 I mean, maybe not love him, but I don't.
00:27:00.120 But I appreciate that he always pivots back to attacking Biden.
00:27:03.980 I do appreciate it.
00:27:04.620 He stays on message.
00:27:06.280 Now, the message is pretty like Boomer, BoomerCon, milquetoast.
00:27:09.580 It's pretty BoomerCon, milquetoast message, but he does stay on it.
00:27:12.280 So he pivots that back to Biden.
00:27:14.140 You know, the real question is, why hasn't Joe Biden killed his dogs?
00:27:19.080 That's the question we should be asking.
00:27:21.580 Which, by the way, it's actually true that if the, what did he say, 24?
00:27:25.140 Did he say, is that what, is that, it was only half paying attention.
00:27:28.440 And, like, dozens of Secret Service agents have been bitten by one of the dogs?
00:27:33.520 I don't think I knew that.
00:27:35.680 And yes, like, that's a dog that should be put down.
00:27:38.700 So the whole thing remains the most unnecessary random act of political self-immolation by Kristi Noem that we've ever seen.
00:27:45.280 And now she's on her book tour talking about the ethics of killing dogs.
00:27:49.840 Okay, this is, you have major political aspirations.
00:27:53.040 You're on a book tour.
00:27:54.280 And this is what you're discussing because you brought it up.
00:27:58.640 Now, it would be totally different.
00:27:59.880 It would be completely different if this is one of those things where she didn't bring it up, but the media went digging.
00:28:07.300 And they talked to some, you know, aggrieved people from her past.
00:28:11.640 And this story came out, you know, through the media.
00:28:15.420 And now they're attacking her.
00:28:17.320 Well, you know what Kristi Noem did 20 years ago?
00:28:18.940 She killed a dog.
00:28:19.420 But if that had happened, then it would completely, politically, of course, it completely changes it entirely.
00:28:25.180 And then she actually does look good because, you know, she's trying to govern the state.
00:28:30.740 And she's worried about what's important.
00:28:32.460 And she's being bothered by this ridiculous story from 20 years ago.
00:28:37.240 Then I think she does come out on top.
00:28:38.940 But the problem is, if you're defending something you did 20 years ago that you brought up and you told people about, then you don't get to fall back on, this is all a big distraction.
00:28:52.060 I don't want to talk about this.
00:28:53.020 Like, you don't get to fall back on that because we're only talking about it because you told us.
00:28:57.040 You didn't have to tell us.
00:28:58.100 And you told us because it was a political calculation, you thought it would, you thought for some unknown reason, you thought that this would, you thought that American society in the year 2024 would hear that you killed a dog and would react with anything but pure abject horror.
00:29:19.860 That's what you thought because you don't understand what time it is and where we're at in society.
00:29:29.060 Now, that said, the version of the story that she's telling in this interview now, if that's the first version of the story that I had heard, then I would say that it was totally justified to put the dog down, of course.
00:29:39.760 Now, still very stupid to bring it up politically, you know, but doing it, the act itself would be justified.
00:29:44.900 Because in this story, she's saying that it was an already aggressive dog that killed not only livestock but attacked her.
00:29:51.940 She said that she was also concerned, she had reason to be concerned for the safety of her children.
00:29:55.500 Now, the story in the book, at least as it's being reported by the media, makes it sound like the dog just got a little out of control, got a little rambunctious, let loose on some chickens, and then sort of snipped at her in the midst of the chaos.
00:30:08.620 And that's one thing, but this version makes it sound like, based on what she's saying, like this is a much more aggressive animal with a history of aggression, and it attacked her, and her kids were unsafe, and it was killing livestock.
00:30:21.540 And if that's true, then yeah, well, of course you put it down.
00:30:24.520 Like, if that's the case, of course you do.
00:30:25.920 If you have a dangerous dog that attacks anybody in the family, if my dog attacked anyone in my family, goodbye, it's done.
00:30:35.480 Like, I'm not, an animal attacks somebody in the family, makes someone in the family unsafe, I'm choosing my family member over the animal, obviously.
00:30:43.720 And anyone who has a problem with that is a lunatic whose opinion is worth less than nothing.
00:30:49.260 Um, so obviously you should put down aggressive, dangerous dogs.
00:30:55.020 It's just that the original story didn't make it seem like a legitimately aggressive and dangerous dog.
00:31:01.140 And that might also be because it was misrepresented by the media reporting on it.
00:31:05.700 But that still is your fault.
00:31:07.960 Like, if you're a politician putting a book out, and you're sending excerpts out to the media,
00:31:13.980 you need to, you already know, you're a Republican, you know they're going to look for any way they can
00:31:18.200 to twist something out of proportion, or to misrepresent it.
00:31:21.580 So you have to, you have to know that ahead of time, and think about that before you,
00:31:27.020 while you're deciding what to put in your book.
00:31:29.620 And this is the kind of story that, even if they were twisting it, it's your fault they're twisting it,
00:31:34.160 because you gave it to them to twist.
00:31:36.600 What did you think they were going to do with a story like that?
00:31:40.440 Of course they're going to twist it that way, if it was twisted.
00:31:43.080 So, where are we left?
00:31:45.240 But, I don't know, who cares?
00:31:48.980 We're left with who cares.
00:31:50.560 That's, that's, nobody should care, it shouldn't matter, it shouldn't be something we're talking about.
00:31:54.300 But Kristi Noem decided that she wants to talk about it.
00:31:58.940 And look, I mean, the truth is that her political career is over because of this.
00:32:05.140 It really is just done.
00:32:06.280 Now, that's ridiculous.
00:32:10.020 Even if it was an unjustified, even if, even if euthanizing the dog, let's just say for the sake of argument, was unjustified.
00:32:16.260 But, the idea that that would be the end of her political career is insane.
00:32:23.040 But, again, that is the country we live in.
00:32:26.060 That's the reality.
00:32:27.740 And this is going to brand her forever.
00:32:30.280 And she'll never be able to do an interview ever again without it coming up.
00:32:33.900 If, if she was the VP nominee and there was a vice presidential debate, this is like the first thing they're going to talk about at the debate.
00:32:44.980 And it's what the debate, it's, it's, they might move on to other subjects.
00:32:48.420 But in the media, that's going to be what the debate was about.
00:32:50.920 It's going to be the only clip that circulates.
00:32:53.040 It's the only thing anybody cares about.
00:32:54.100 And so, for that reason, she, their political career is over.
00:33:00.300 And it's, it, it, it's tragic in a certain way that, that, you know, this would be the end of her political career when, again, it's something that she offered up.
00:33:15.320 And it was so unnecessary and didn't need to be done.
00:33:19.700 All right.
00:33:20.660 Daily Wire has this report.
00:33:22.040 Quickly, I want to mention it.
00:33:23.340 Britney Spears' mental health and finances made headlines on Monday when conflicting reports surfaced.
00:33:27.560 One claiming that she's completely dysfunctional and in danger of going broke.
00:33:31.300 And another claiming that the singer's not about to be broke.
00:33:34.100 A TMZ report sources close to the 42-year-old singer claim that she's burning through all her money with lavish, pricey trips to Hawaii and French Polynesia.
00:33:41.060 And is in danger of going broke.
00:33:42.520 Just two plus years after being released from her 13 plus year conservatorship held by her father, Jamie Spears.
00:33:48.300 She cannot afford this, one source says.
00:33:49.800 She's had $60 million when the conservatorship ended.
00:33:51.800 And she's now where the conservatorship started.
00:33:54.780 She's in danger of going broke.
00:33:56.200 However, sources who spoke to Page Six blasted the grossly exaggerated TMZ.
00:34:03.160 One insider said she has no concept of money for over a decade.
00:34:06.000 Other people were in charge of her bank accounts and every purchase had to be reported to the court, even if it was just a pack of gum.
00:34:10.060 But now she's on her own.
00:34:10.780 She's not broke, but she definitely could manage.
00:34:13.080 She could benefit from being more careful with her cash.
00:34:15.220 So, you know, even her defenders are basically their defenses.
00:34:21.040 Well, she's not going bankrupt that quickly.
00:34:24.980 So you've got some saying she's going bankrupt and others saying, eh, maybe soon, but not right now.
00:34:31.160 First of all, it is like to blow through $60 million in the span of a couple of years is insane.
00:34:42.360 You know, you hear people say sometimes, oh, a million dollars isn't what it used to be.
00:34:46.320 And that's true.
00:34:47.200 Like a million dollars compared to if you had a million dollars in 1940, it's not what it used to be.
00:34:52.680 But it's still a lot of money.
00:34:55.420 It's still a lot of money, needless to say.
00:35:01.000 Going through $60 million in a couple of years is, I mean, you have to try.
00:35:06.740 You have to try to blow that much money.
00:35:08.200 That, you know, if she could relegate herself, even, let's just say, spend $150,000.
00:35:20.200 Can you stick to spending $150,000 a month?
00:35:23.860 Just that, $150,000 a month.
00:35:26.540 Can you spend like three times the national income average a month?
00:35:32.320 Can you just stick with that?
00:35:33.320 Because if you do that and you've got $60 million, you'll be, and you're already in your 40s.
00:35:38.200 So you'll be set for life.
00:35:40.240 But even that turns out to be too much.
00:35:43.400 The main reason I bring this up, though, of course, is, you know, how much I, well, I can't say I hate to say it.
00:35:50.860 But in this case, I do hate to say it, which is I told you so.
00:35:54.920 And I hate to say it in this case because Britney Spears, like she's not going to be alive in five years.
00:36:02.920 Unless something drastically changes.
00:36:04.220 You know, miracles happen.
00:36:06.480 People change.
00:36:07.380 It's possible.
00:36:09.020 I can't say it's not possible.
00:36:10.680 But I would, if I was a betting man and I was a very crass, morbid betting man, I would put my money on her no longer being with us by the time she turns 45 or 46.
00:36:24.240 It seems almost certain.
00:36:25.500 I think everyone sees that.
00:36:26.760 And this is what, as you may recall, this is what I said at the time when the whole Free Britney movement was very popular.
00:36:37.540 And, you know, even people who I thought were reasonable, rational people were sort of jumping on the bandwagon, hashtag Free Britney.
00:36:46.020 And I said at the time, like, OK, go ahead and free her and she'll be dead.
00:36:49.540 She's going to die.
00:36:50.360 She's going to kill herself either directly or through a drug overdose or something.
00:36:55.920 Because there's a, look, this is what you have.
00:36:58.920 And I'm as cynical about the court system as anybody is.
00:37:03.780 But even so, the court, they don't put conservatorships on people for no reason.
00:37:12.060 It takes quite a lot to get a conservatorship.
00:37:15.900 And I'll also keep in mind that before that, she lost custody of her children.
00:37:21.180 And she's a woman.
00:37:22.520 And she's a celebrity.
00:37:23.820 And she's in the Los Angeles court system.
00:37:28.100 So to lose custody of your children as a rich woman in Los Angeles is very difficult.
00:37:35.220 I mean, you have to be egregiously terrible as a person and a mother to pull that.
00:37:42.320 You have to be a terrible, awful, dangerous person for the court to go to that extent.
00:37:47.520 And then on top of that, you're put under a conservatorship where you've been declared
00:37:52.080 unfit to manage your own life.
00:37:54.680 Well, again, like those two things, those two things individually, but certainly together.
00:38:00.280 Not knowing anything about her or anything, not having any insight into her personal life.
00:38:06.200 All I needed to know was that.
00:38:07.780 That was it.
00:38:08.940 Oh, she lost custody of her kids.
00:38:10.180 And she's, OK, well, she's crazy.
00:38:12.140 She's a crazy person.
00:38:13.240 And she's dangerous, obviously, because she wouldn't be in that spot without it.
00:38:19.440 You'll notice there are a lot of people trying to turn this into patriarchy and sexism and
00:38:24.720 all of this.
00:38:25.160 Well, there are a lot of rich celebrity women out there, plenty of them, and a lot of really
00:38:29.100 kooky ones, too.
00:38:30.460 And they're not under conservatorships, and they haven't lost custody of their children.
00:38:33.520 So there's obviously something more going on here.
00:38:37.380 It's not a patriarchal conspiracy.
00:38:38.720 There's something more going on.
00:38:39.720 And that, when you don't have access, when you can't see behind the scenes, you don't
00:38:47.380 know what's going on in somebody's life, then you have to make assumptions based on
00:38:52.360 what you can see.
00:38:53.760 And so either you can make assumptions based on what you see from some hashtag campaign
00:38:57.940 that was spurred on by whatever it was, a Netflix documentary or some dumb propaganda
00:39:02.640 documentary, so you can use that as evidence and draw conclusions.
00:39:07.800 Or you can use your own brain and look at some of the basic facts of the case, and you
00:39:13.340 could say, well, okay, it's possible.
00:39:15.200 It's possible that she's a victim and that she shouldn't be under the conservatorship,
00:39:18.460 but probably, probably there's a good reason.
00:39:21.140 And it's probable enough that I wouldn't want to be part of the mob that contributed to
00:39:31.760 her being released to the conservatorship.
00:39:33.400 Because when she inevitably dies, I don't want to have to say that I played a part in that.
00:39:39.400 And unfortunately, it's just the reality that if you were a part of the Free Britney movement,
00:39:44.480 when she ends up dead in a few years, you share a little bit of the guilt for that.
00:39:48.800 You do.
00:39:49.760 Not being melodramatic about it.
00:39:52.820 But the only reason why she was, quote unquote, freed is because of the outcry from the public.
00:39:58.600 We all know that.
00:39:59.180 Without that, it wouldn't have happened.
00:40:01.460 And so everybody who was a part of that outcry, you would play a part in that.
00:40:06.520 So just something to keep in mind.
00:40:11.160 New York Post does this.
00:40:12.860 Says Jeff Goldblum is ready for his kids to get jobs.
00:40:15.400 The actor, 71, revealed that his children, Charlie 8 and River 6, will have to support
00:40:20.100 themselves when they get older.
00:40:21.240 The Jurassic Park star shares his sons with wife, Emily Livingston, 41.
00:40:25.840 He told iHeart Podcast, Table for Two with Bruce Bosey, quote, hey, you know, you've got
00:40:32.000 to row your own boat.
00:40:33.920 It's an important thing to teach kids.
00:40:35.580 I'm not going to do it for you, and you're not going to want me to do it for you.
00:40:40.060 You've got to figure out how to find out what's wanted and needed and where that intersects
00:40:43.220 with your love and passion and what you can do.
00:40:44.660 And even if it doesn't, you might have to do it anyway.
00:40:46.560 So he's saying he's not going to leave his money to his kids.
00:40:53.900 Goldblum isn't alone with not wanting to leave his fortune to his kids.
00:40:56.660 Over the years, Guy Fieri, Marie Osmond, and Mick Jagger have publicly said that their
00:41:00.640 money will stay with them.
00:41:02.100 Rolling Stone musician told the Wall Street Journal in September, the children don't need
00:41:05.900 $500 million to live well.
00:41:07.300 Come on.
00:41:08.300 You maybe do some good in the world with his money instead, I think is what he's saying.
00:41:12.920 One month later, Osmond exclusively told the Post that leaving her children with her inheritance
00:41:16.800 would be harmful.
00:41:18.500 Okay, so you hear this kind of thing a lot these days, usually from rich boomers who like
00:41:24.920 to say this, and they like to announce this to the world that they're not leaving anything
00:41:27.540 for their kids.
00:41:29.080 And I have to say that I find it pretty mystifying.
00:41:31.340 Like for me, a big part of what drives me is the desire to accrue wealth that I can pass
00:41:37.420 down to my children and grandchildren.
00:41:38.940 That's a big part of what drives me.
00:41:40.180 I want my descendants to be secure.
00:41:43.460 I want them to be wealthy.
00:41:46.880 If I can see to it that my descendants, who I never even meet, are wealthy because of work
00:41:54.020 that I did, well, that's a great victory.
00:41:56.980 I won.
00:41:59.240 That's one of the major ways to win at life, is to leave behind a legacy like that.
00:42:05.940 That's what you should want to do.
00:42:07.400 And for most people who've ever lived, that is what they've wanted.
00:42:12.680 This rich, liberal, boomer mentality of wanting your kids to be more poor than you are is totally
00:42:20.280 backwards.
00:42:21.220 You should not want your kids to be more poor than you are.
00:42:23.560 Your kids should not be more poor than you are.
00:42:25.440 That's not the way it should work.
00:42:29.840 And it's totally backwards and it would be completely foreign to most people from most
00:42:34.140 cultures in most time periods.
00:42:35.260 Because historically, there was a great emphasis put on ensuring that your descendants are in
00:42:39.780 a better spot than you, not worse.
00:42:43.180 Like if anything, you should want your kids to be richer than you.
00:42:46.020 That's what you should want.
00:42:46.900 Now, I'll be the first to preach about the value of hard work and all of that.
00:42:51.580 But if you happen to succeed in life and accrue enough wealth to see to your family's financial
00:42:58.520 security for future generations, well, that's a good thing.
00:43:01.540 And then you find other ways to introduce work and discipline into their lives.
00:43:06.300 You don't need to artificially create poverty for your children to be taught that lesson.
00:43:11.420 And obviously, I know that Jeff Goldblum's kids are not going to be impoverished, but
00:43:15.780 you get the point.
00:43:17.160 Passing down wealth to your children is what you're supposed to do if you can.
00:43:22.880 Dying and giving your money to some nonsense charity where five cents to every dollar is
00:43:28.000 going to go to someone else's kids and the rest of it's going to go to the salaries of
00:43:32.700 the executives of the nonprofit.
00:43:34.220 I mean, that is ridiculous.
00:43:36.560 Ridiculous.
00:43:37.100 It's a waste.
00:43:39.260 And here's the other thing.
00:43:39.900 This is my main problem with it.
00:43:41.960 If you want to teach your children the value of living a modest life and living a humble
00:43:47.860 life and a simple life, that's great.
00:43:51.440 So why don't you do that while they're still alive, while you're still alive?
00:43:56.740 Why don't you do that by living that way yourself?
00:43:59.600 Why don't you do that?
00:44:00.320 Like you're living with your kids, hopefully you raise them.
00:44:04.700 So live that way with them while still having your financial security.
00:44:09.440 Live in a simple, non-materialistic, humble way.
00:44:13.820 And they can experience it that way.
00:44:16.980 And they also see you.
00:44:18.200 They get the example of you as someone who, even though you were wealthy and you had means,
00:44:24.200 you still chose to live in a simple and humble way.
00:44:27.560 And that is a great lesson.
00:44:28.700 So then you've taught the lesson.
00:44:29.760 Now they could still go on to be rich snobs.
00:44:32.740 And they could still become entitled, elitist, whatever, whatever you're worried about them
00:44:37.560 becoming, that could still happen.
00:44:39.280 But then you've done your job.
00:44:41.700 But that's not what these rich boomers do.
00:44:46.480 What they do is they live materialistically.
00:44:50.240 They live in a self-centered way.
00:44:53.800 They live luxurious lives.
00:44:56.200 And then they kind of schedule it so that the lesson in modesty and simplicity starts when they're dead.
00:45:03.800 So they're going to use all the money that they want.
00:45:05.940 And they're going to blow through it as much as they want for themselves.
00:45:08.840 But then once they're dead and it doesn't matter to them anymore, well, then, yes, that junior is when the lesson in modesty will start.
00:45:18.680 Right when I'm, the moment I'm no longer here.
00:45:21.300 And so I don't, as long as I don't have to take part in the sacrifice, then, yes, I think it's a great idea.
00:45:27.520 That's basically the message.
00:45:28.580 And I think it's, again, completely backwards.
00:45:33.360 All right, let's get to the comment section.
00:45:35.860 If you're a man, it's required that you grow a B&A with a sweet baby gang.
00:45:45.500 You know, it's summer, and that means spending more time outdoors.

00:46:42.840 About the porn stuff, this law makes watching porn anonymously impossible, so you would have to tell every site who you really are.
00:46:49.100 If you don't think that's an issue, set all of your videos on age verification and see how many viewers you have left.
00:46:54.940 Just saying.
00:46:56.400 I don't know what your point is in this comment.
00:46:58.660 I wouldn't set age verification on all my videos because I don't produce pornography.
00:47:06.280 Much to everybody's relief, I don't produce pornography.
00:47:09.420 So, no, I would not.
00:47:11.440 I think age verification is a good thing for pornography.
00:47:14.420 I don't think it's a good thing for every single piece of content that exists on the Internet.
00:47:18.380 I think you should have to verify who you are specifically if you consume porn.
00:47:24.460 I don't think you should have to verify who you are in order to do anything on the Internet.
00:47:27.820 So, because not everything is the same, okay?
00:47:32.920 Not, not, things are different.
00:47:34.740 We treat things differently.
00:47:37.100 Just, again, just as we do with any other adult-oriented product.
00:47:42.300 For any other adult-oriented product, there are different rules for obtaining that product than there are if you were obtaining something else.
00:47:50.400 Okay?
00:47:50.680 So, if you want to go to the gas station and you buy a pack of gum, nobody's going to ask for your ID.
00:47:56.500 And I don't think they should.
00:47:57.240 I don't think they should.
00:47:58.340 I think it would be crazy for there to be a law passed saying that if you want to buy a pack of gum, you've got to show your ID.
00:48:02.620 That's crazy.
00:48:03.720 But if you buy a six-pack from the gas station, then you do have to show an ID.
00:48:12.360 And what you're basically saying is, well, you have to show your ID for one, so why not both?
00:48:16.420 Well, because they're different things.
00:48:17.800 That's why.
00:48:18.740 One is gum and the other is porn.
00:48:20.920 All right?
00:48:22.660 Now, to your point about porn, if you've age-verified, then it won't just keep kids out.
00:48:32.160 It will also, you know, they'll see a decrease in viewership across the board.
00:48:37.020 I agree with you there.
00:48:37.700 Another comment says that, regarding the porn industry, they know that many of their normal customers, not minors,
00:48:44.060 will not want to disclose their personal info to porn sites to be able to watch,
00:48:47.260 purely based on the fact that it's a fairly personal experience.
00:48:49.560 I figured that was obvious.
00:48:52.080 Yes.
00:48:53.540 You're right.
00:48:54.300 That will also happen.
00:48:56.160 If you have age-verification, it will become, you know, these porn sites are going to see,
00:49:02.160 it's going to hit their bottom line.
00:49:05.500 Number one, because they're losing their child customers, and they know that they are, right now,
00:49:12.920 catering to those customers, even though it's illegal.
00:49:16.180 But they're losing it, but then they're also going to lose, yeah, there's a certain portion of the audience
00:49:18.980 that will not consume porn.
00:49:20.820 At least they'll consume it maybe a little bit less often, because they have to give their ID.
00:49:25.100 They have to prove who they are, and it's embarrassing.
00:49:26.520 But that's not an argument against age-verification.
00:49:30.360 That is another bonus.
00:49:31.880 That is another good thing about it.
00:49:36.020 Unless you care deeply about smut peddlers making as much money as they can,
00:49:41.880 unless that really upsets you.
00:49:43.180 The idea, oh, my, oh, jeez, the executives at Pornhub will make a few, will make,
00:49:49.160 you know, instead of being very, very wealthy, they'll just be very wealthy.
00:49:53.240 That's terrible.
00:49:53.920 Like, is that, that's supposed to be upsetting to us?
00:49:58.800 Yeah, you know what?
00:50:00.480 Porn, you call it a personal experience.
00:50:03.520 That's one way of putting it.
00:50:06.460 It is, it's a shameful, gross, dirty thing.
00:50:11.740 Like, you are, it's voyeurism, where you're sitting behind a screen,
00:50:17.540 and you're watching other people have sex.
00:50:19.320 It's like, it's a gross, dirty, weird thing to do.
00:50:23.240 Just like it would be to do it in person, right?
00:50:26.840 And it's not really different substantively.
00:50:29.620 It's just the fact that the screen is, the screen is there mediating the experience.
00:50:33.700 It's still the same idea.
00:50:35.080 And so if you feel sort of embarrassed doing it, well, then you should.
00:50:41.200 That's, that, that, that's, that's how you should feel.
00:50:44.820 And it, before the invention of internet porn, yeah, there was still pornography,
00:50:50.820 and you could obtain it if you were an adult.
00:50:54.200 But it was, it would have been embarrassing.
00:50:57.420 And you had to be the kind of person who was willing to endure that kind of shame.
00:51:02.540 And the fact is, before internet porn, like, yeah, you could go, they have, they have an adult shop on the corner.
00:51:08.660 Adult shop.
00:51:10.380 And you could go in there and get this kind of material.
00:51:13.900 But most people didn't want to do that.
00:51:15.920 Because, you know, it's like, it's, it's gross.
00:51:18.200 It's, it's, it's, it's emasculating.
00:51:22.180 As a man, to walk into a place like that.
00:51:25.520 And most people don't want to.
00:51:27.460 With internet porn, we have artificially sort of numbed that shame instinct, that embarrassment and guilt that people naturally feel.
00:51:37.520 But here's the thing, if, if, if you need to do something anonymously,
00:51:43.380 and you simply would not be able to do it with your name attached to it, because you'd be far too embarrassed.
00:51:49.380 well that's a pretty good indication that whatever you're doing is shameful
00:51:53.680 so I see all that the fact that it hurts the bottom line is a bonus the fact that it makes
00:52:01.460 people it gives people second thought gives them pause before consuming it that's a bonus
00:52:05.600 the fact that it's embarrassing for people that use porn all that is that's all good it's all it's
00:52:10.860 all very good speaking of people stinking this goes back a couple days I can't I can't watch
00:52:19.960 any historical movie without thinking about how badly people must have smelled back then
00:52:24.220 what does that relate to oh we were talking about a couple days ago the experts who say you
00:52:31.860 shouldn't take showers yeah you know I have the exact same experience this is the whole reason why
00:52:36.920 if I ever had a time machine like I think I wouldn't use it it would be it would be really
00:52:44.040 anticlimactic if anybody ever gave me access to a time machine because I would end up just not using
00:52:49.440 it because I don't want to go in the future I don't want to go to the future and see how this
00:52:52.580 all turns out I don't want to I don't want to speed this up uh that's the last thing I want to do but
00:52:57.000 I also wouldn't want as much as I would like to see what happens in the past I wouldn't want to
00:53:00.460 really go there because primarily for this reason that you bring up is the the overwhelming stench
00:53:06.000 uh I wouldn't I don't want to experience that um I don't think we quite understand just how bad
00:53:11.140 things must have smelled if you go not that far back in the past I was thinking about this other
00:53:17.040 day when I was reading a book another book about Cortez and the conquistadors uh the Spanish conquerors of
00:53:24.420 of uh who vanquished the Aztecs and the Incas but the thought occurred to me because like these guys
00:53:31.400 were wearing armor for months on end marching through jungles and fighting and sweating and
00:53:39.940 bleeding never bathing not once for months on end wearing all the armor and everything

00:55:18.060 yesterday we discussed at some length the so-called anti-semitism awareness act and after that
00:55:29.480 conversation the bill passed the house with a bipartisan vote of 320 to 91 it won approval from
00:55:35.080 both parties by wide margins and now it heads over to the senate where prominent voices like tim scott
00:55:40.040 have already voiced their support for it scott called it a momentous step towards rooting out
00:55:43.980 anti-semitic hate and there was a lot of that sort of celebrating over at the house as well

00:55:57.500 the republican sponsors of the bill mike lawler of new york proclaimed that his bill is a key step in
00:56:02.100 calling out anti-semitism where it is here is lawler in congress explaining why this law is so necessary
00:56:09.300 allegedly watch i rise in support of my bill the anti-semitism awareness act and i want to thank
00:56:17.340 my colleague congressman josh gottheimer from new jersey for his courage in leading on this issue
00:56:25.120 in every generation the jewish people have been scapegoated harassed evicted from their homeland and
00:56:32.520 murdered many of us remember the holocaust as the most recent large-scale instance of this but it was
00:56:39.560 hardly the first in the jewish people's long history of persecution prior to october 7th it may have
00:56:46.840 seemed like we were making progress in fighting anti-semitism especially in the united states a prime
00:56:53.800 example jewish students weren't afraid to attend classes on their college campuses and yet today we hear
00:57:00.680 calls for intifada ring out on school grounds we see jewish students being physically prevented from
00:57:07.080 going to class rioters chanting death to israel and death to america and so much more in the u.s jews
00:57:14.680 account for only 2.4 percent of the population and globally they make up 0.2 percent of the world's
00:57:21.000 population the jewish people need our support now now mike lawler's point here is that anti-semitism
00:57:29.240 is bad all the other republicans democrats who supported this bill offered similar justifications
00:57:33.880 democrat co-sponsor josh gottheimer covered this same territory during his speech on the floor of
00:57:40.440 the house listen mr speaker i rise today in support of my bipartisan bill the anti-semitism awareness act
00:57:50.200 to ensure that we're standing up to the jew hatred that's spreading like wildfire on campuses across our
00:57:56.760 country i'm proud to lead this legislation with my friend and fellow problem solver caucus member
00:58:01.720 congressman mike lawler from new york as we are voting today in real time our country's universities
00:58:10.840 are experiencing a tidal wave of anti-semitism protesters have targeted jewish students haranguing
00:58:16.360 them with awful jew hating insults and cheering on hamas a barbaric foreign terrorist organization that
00:58:21.880 murdered americans on october 7th and still hold five living americans hostage including my constituent
00:58:27.800 edan alexander i met with hostage families just this morning i saw these protests up close like many
00:58:34.200 americans did at columbia earlier this month i've heard the sickening jew hating anti-semitic comments
00:58:42.040 comparing zionists to nazis promising a redux of october 7th a thousand times over and calling for
00:58:49.080 resistance i quote by any means necessary and intifada revolution so once again anti-semitism is
00:58:57.160 bad he's saying and uh indeed it is bad but what we aren't hearing from the defenders of the bill or
00:59:02.680 even its sponsors is why this particular bill is necessary or good or wise or ethical or constitutional
00:59:10.840 that's because it is none of those things in fact it is without exaggeration one of the worst
00:59:15.560 pieces of legislation we have ever seen in our lifetimes i already explained some of my objections
00:59:21.000 to this proposed law yesterday but let's go over this again now that i've had some more time to
00:59:25.240 investigate it further and then i have two additional thoughts to offer but first to review
00:59:29.880 the anti-semitism awareness act that just passed the house mandates that when the department of
00:59:33.880 education enforces federal anti-discrimination laws it does so according to a definition of anti-semitism
00:59:39.480 provided by something called the international holocaust remembrance alliance so the legislation is
00:59:44.600 mandating a certain definition of unlawful anti-semitism but it has farmed that definition
00:59:50.920 out to this other group insanely the bill itself never gives a definition it only says that the
00:59:58.440 definition is whatever the international holocaust remembrance alliance says it is the bill adds that
01:00:03.880 the examples of anti-semitism provided by the same group shall henceforth also be a part of the
01:00:10.280 legal definition of anti-semitism but of course the bill doesn't tell you what those examples are
01:00:15.720 either now when we talked about this yesterday i i didn't know what the international holocaust
01:00:21.000 remembrance alliance was all i knew all that any of us really need to know is that it is not a
01:00:26.520 legislative body of the united states government whatever it is it certainly is not an organization
01:00:31.880 that should have any ability to dictate legislation or define the terms in our laws but the truth is even
01:00:38.120 worse that it first appears the ihra is not just some random activist group it is as the i for
01:00:44.600 international suggests an international and intergovernmental organization founded by the
01:00:49.480 prime minister of sweden in 1998 it's comprised of international partners quote-unquote like the un
01:00:55.560 and the eu and then also 35 member countries including the united states the uk and of course israel
01:01:02.120 now what this means is that our legislation is being farmed out specifically to foreign powers should
01:01:09.480 this bill become law it will mean that a group of foreign governments have had a say in developing
01:01:14.680 speech restrictions that govern american citizens now that is more than enough reason to oppose the bill
01:01:21.880 absolutely and unequivocally i would want to take this legislation and shoot it into the sun
01:01:28.760 based solely on the fact that it gives foreign governments any power at all over our own people
01:01:34.760 even if i otherwise agreed with the text of the bill i would still oppose it on that basis alone but
01:01:40.680 but i don't agree no freedom loving self-respecting american should agree as we talked about yesterday if
01:01:46.600 you go to the ihra website to find out what their definition of anti-semitism is the first glance won't be
01:01:53.240 very shocking according to its definition anti-semitism is basically hatred of jews that makes sense the
01:02:00.600 trouble really starts however when you scroll down the page a bit and you get to examples of anti-semitism
01:02:05.640 that this cadre of foreign governments has provided and there you'll find a number of examples examples
01:02:11.000 which will have the force of law under this bill uh including the following quote these are all examples of
01:02:17.880 anti-semitism accusing the jews as a people or israel as a state of inventing or exaggerating the
01:02:23.560 holocaust accusing jewish citizens of being more loyal to israel or to the alleged priorities of jews
01:02:29.000 worldwide than to the interests of their own nations denying the jewish people the right to self-determination
01:02:34.600 e.g. by claiming that the existence of a state of israel is a racist endeavor applying double standards by
01:02:40.440 requiring of it behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation using the symbols and
01:02:46.520 images associated with classic anti-semitism e.g. claims of jews killing jesus or blood libel
01:02:52.120 to characterize israel or israelis drawing comparisons of contemporary israeli policy to
01:02:57.800 that of the nazis holding jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of israel
01:03:03.160 now there are a number of very serious problems here the first is that most of these examples of
01:03:08.920 anti-semitism statements that the bill would legally classify as hate speech against jews
01:03:14.120 are actually criticisms of the israeli government and whether you think the criticisms
01:03:19.560 criticisms are fair or not whether you think they're true or not it should go without saying
01:03:24.680 that american citizens have the rights in any and all contexts to criticize foreign governments in
01:03:31.160 whatever way and using whatever language they want you should be able to say anything you want about
01:03:38.920 a foreign government including it's evil it's terrible it should exist it should be wiped off the face of the
01:03:43.240 earth now i'm not saying it's right to say that but of course you should have the right have have the
01:03:51.400 right to say that about a foreign government as an american citizen are you kidding me we have the right
01:03:57.400 to criticize foreign government we have the right to criticize our own government so we must certainly
01:04:02.040 then have the right to criticize the governments of other nations now keep in mind it's not just one or
01:04:08.600 two opinions about the israeli government that you're not allowed to have under this bill that
01:04:13.240 would be bad enough um dictating the viewpoints that americans can have or express about a foreign
01:04:18.520 country is pure madness it is evil no matter how limited the rules might be but these rules are actually
01:04:25.480 incredibly wide in their scope after all it says that applying double standards to the state of israel is
01:04:33.640 anti-semitic well there are hundreds of opinions you might have about israel that could be classified
01:04:41.000 as double standards and who determines which opinions are double standards and therefore forbidden
01:04:46.760 well apparently the international holocaust remembrance alliance gets to decide
01:04:51.640 you may recall that israel is a member country in this alliance which means that israel has a hand
01:04:57.960 in deciding which opinions about itself are lawful for americans to express um when i said that this is
01:05:07.560 one of the worst pieces of legislation we've ever seen i wasn't exaggerating now there's another example
01:05:13.320 on the list that's gotten some attention it's the it is uh that it's anti-semitic to claim that uh
01:05:19.240 jews killed jesus that's what the ihra says but you know that is not a claim invented by anti-semites
01:05:26.600 that's that's in the gospel according to every gospel account of christ's passion
01:05:31.080 the romans carried out the execution of jesus at the insistence and behest of the jewish authorities
01:05:37.800 that handed him over to be killed and the mob that called for his death
01:05:43.080 now that's what the gospel says uh it may be true that some actual anti-semites as in those
01:05:51.880 who hate jews have used these biblical passages as a justification for their hatred but that does
01:05:59.160 not make the passages themselves false or evil or anti-semitic and it certainly doesn't give congress
01:06:06.680 the right to tell christians that they cannot believe or repeat what is in those passages
01:06:12.360 it is an incredibly dangerous precedent to put anything into law anywhere for any reason declaring
01:06:19.240 aspects of the bible hate speech so this bill is dangerous and unconstitutional and wrong on every
01:06:26.280 level but even that doesn't fully capture the insanity because on top of all these problems
01:06:32.120 it also won't do the thing that it's supposedly meant to do which is combat anti-semitism in fact
01:06:37.000 it will only make anti-semitism worse and this is a point so obvious that i i didn't even bring
01:06:41.880 it up in the past because it's like every it's obvious to everyone except for the morons who came
01:06:45.800 up with this bill everyone else can see right that telling americans that they can't believe or say
01:06:52.360 certain things about certain groups of people will not actually stop anyone from believing or saying
01:06:58.760 those things certainly won't stop them from believing it the most you could hope is to stop
01:07:02.440 them from saying it but you won't stop them from believing it instead if it achieves anything it will
01:07:07.800 only cause people to be resentful towards and suspicious of the group you're allegedly trying to protect
01:07:13.720 now as for putting an end to the lawlessness and chaos on college campuses right now this bill will
01:07:20.040 not accomplish that either because we didn't need any new law to address that problem simply enforcing
01:07:24.920 existing laws laws against vandalism burglary trespassing violence incitement and so on will be more than
01:07:30.360 enough as always the cause of the chaos is not that we lack certain laws that we need but that the
01:07:37.400 laws that we already have and need are not being enforced enforce the law don't write new ones to
01:07:44.200 solve a problem caused by the lack of enforcement of the existing ones that's all that needs to be done
01:07:50.280 and from a political perspective that's all that republicans in particular need to say
01:07:55.800 the campus protests are a problem primarily for democrats these are leftist radicals protesting the
01:08:02.200 leftist administrators at their schools and the leftist political leaders who are not doing
01:08:06.760 everything that the radicals want okay it is a problem on the left and for the left all the
01:08:13.800 republicans need to do in order to win politically is call for the enforcement of existing laws
01:08:19.960 and then move on and stay out of it it is the easiest win in the world and so of course republicans
01:08:27.960 who have never met a situation they can't screw up have found a way as always to rescue defeat from
01:08:33.960 the jaws of victory rather than sit back and let the democrats deal with the frankenstein they created
01:08:39.800 republicans have have pushed themselves to the front so that the eggs being chucked at the democrats
01:08:45.560 can land squarely on their own faces instead like rather than calling for the enforcement of existing
01:08:51.800 laws and then getting out of the way they're coming up with with new hate speech laws laws that grant
01:08:57.480 profound new powers to the government which will be used against conservatives and christians as
01:09:02.280 soon as they are passed that's what we get from our elected republicans who are nothing if not
01:09:08.760 useless frauds and morons all the time and that is why the useless fraudulent republicans responsible
01:09:17.640 for this are the ones who are today canceled that'll do it for the show today thanks for watching
01:09:22.280 thanks for listening talk to you tomorrow have a great day godspeed
