Summary

Donald Trump has been convicted in one of the most disgraceful sham trials in American history. Also, another traditional American symbol has been declared problematic and is now being banned, even though nobody can explain what is so problematic about it. And the internet mob gets mad at me because I made the controversial and provocative claim that dieting and exercise are a good way to lose weight.

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, justice is officially dead in this country as Donald Trump is convicted by a kangaroo court in one of the most disgraceful sham trials in American history.

00:01:48.660 Donald Trump, as you have certainly heard by now, has been convicted.
00:01:53.740 The verdict is in. Guilty. Guilty on all 34 felony counts of running for re-election.
00:01:59.240 Because that, after all, is the actual crime that Trump committed.
00:02:02.940 It's the one and only reason that this case was ever brought.
00:02:05.740 They prosecuted him for trying to be president again.
00:02:08.580 That's the actual reality.
00:02:10.020 That's the real crime, which isn't a crime.
00:02:12.360 But you might still be wondering, on paper, what crime was Trump just convicted of?
00:02:17.580 Somehow, a day after the guilty verdict was read, the actual crime he was guilty of is still very hard to say.
00:02:25.380 Now, one possible theory is that the government of New York really doesn't like it when people overpay their taxes.
00:02:32.280 They're the first government in the history of the universe that actively punishes its citizens for handing over too much cash.
00:02:39.500 It drives Alvin Bragg absolutely crazy when that happens, apparently.
00:02:44.780 If New Yorkers pay the government too much cash, then the full weight of New York's criminal justice system will come crashing down on them.
00:02:52.020 A jury will convict them in a day, and they'll face several years in prison.
00:02:55.580 This is how desperately New York doesn't want money from its citizens.
00:03:00.200 Now, that's what you have to believe if, for some reason, you're still pretending that there was any legitimacy to the show trial of Donald Trump that concluded yesterday in Manhattan.
00:03:11.180 I've been thinking of the best way to illustrate just how unprecedented and disgraceful the trial was.
00:03:17.240 There are so many possibilities to choose from.
00:03:20.040 But I keep coming back to this one point because nobody else is really talking about it.
00:03:23.860 And it puts this whole debacle into perspective.
00:03:26.120 As I outlined last week, in order to convict Donald Trump, it was not enough to show that he had supposedly falsified a business record.
00:03:35.860 The government also had to show that Trump has falsified those records in furtherance of some other crime.
00:03:41.640 But what was the other crime?
00:03:44.280 When I did my monologue on this on Friday, I had no idea because the prosecution hadn't suggested anything.
00:03:49.120 We made it all the way to closing arguments, and still the prosecution had never explained what the crime was that the defendant had supposedly committed.
00:03:58.860 But during those closing arguments this week, a prosecutor named Joshua Steinglass finally offered a theory.
00:04:06.480 He said that Donald Trump had falsified the business records in order to violate a different New York state law that prohibited the use of unlawful means to promote any candidate for office.
00:04:16.820 But that still leaves a key question unanswered.
00:04:20.580 What were those unlawful means that Trump supposedly engaged in?
00:04:24.640 So you keep peeling the onion back to find what the hell crime Trump is supposed to have committed, and you continue to come up empty.
00:04:31.360 So Steinglass didn't say definitely what the unlawful means were, but he did mention a few possibilities.
00:04:37.340 And one of those possibilities was that Trump had violated New York tax law.
00:04:41.160 Now, when you hear that, you might think, well, they're alleging that Trump is engaging in tax evasion.
00:04:48.160 But they're actually alleging the opposite.
00:04:51.080 They're accusing Trump of not evading taxes.
00:04:54.640 Specifically, Steinglass argued that Trump's 1099 form was inaccurate because the payment to Michael Cohen was actually a reimbursement and not compensation as the Trump organization had reported it.
00:05:05.820 But if that were the case, then the government, under its own theory of how Trump's team should have filed the paperwork, would be getting less money out of the deal because they're not owed income tax on reimbursements.
00:05:17.420 They're only owed income tax on compensation.
00:05:20.560 Now, I went through the transcripts and found the quote from the prosecutor because when I heard about it, I couldn't believe it was real, but it is.
00:05:27.300 Here's what he told the jury.
00:05:28.180 Quote, it's true that the result of this improper accounting is that the taxes would have to be paid that weren't owed.
00:05:35.620 You don't have to pay taxes on a reimbursement.
00:05:38.440 So the result of reporting them as income tax is more taxes are getting paid than are owed.
00:05:44.080 But as the judge will tell you, it's a crime to prepare false tax documents.
00:05:48.680 Regardless, even when doing so does not result in the underpayment of taxes.
00:05:55.580 I'll repeat that last line.
00:05:56.660 So translation, it's very possible the jury just convicted Donald Trump for falsifying business records in order to cover up the fact that he overpaid on his taxes.
00:06:17.920 That is one of the three possible grand conspiracies that were alleged here, a dastardly scheme to funnel too much money to the government.
00:06:29.920 This is the villainous behavior that we're supposed to believe is a threat to democracy.
00:06:34.580 That's what justifies potentially imprisoning the man who is leading every major poll to become the next president of the United States.
00:06:41.780 That's what supposedly necessitated doing something that has never been done before in American history, by charging a former president with a crime.
00:06:49.960 Now, just for good measure, if the jury didn't buy that theory, the government and the judge gave them a whole menu of other options they could choose from.
00:06:59.100 And one of them related to covering up violations of campaign finance law, while the other was covering up violations of business record laws.
00:07:06.160 In other words, as Tablet Magazine put it, the jury could have found that, quote,
00:07:09.200 Trump falsified business records to conspire to steal the election by falsifying business records.
00:07:16.800 Now, which circular, incoherent conspiracy did the jury buy?
00:07:20.980 Who knows?
00:07:22.060 The judge didn't require them to make that decision unanimously.
00:07:25.400 Each juror could have picked a different crime to convict Trump of committing.
00:07:31.040 We may never know.
00:07:33.120 So to restate, the upshot is that a former president and the leading presidential candidate right now,
00:07:39.200 was just convicted of 34 felony charges by a jury of his political opponents during an election year based on a novel legal theory
00:07:48.180 where the underlying alleged crime was never clearly explained and might not even make sense.
00:07:54.000 And on top of that, the jury didn't even have to reach a unanimous conclusion about it.
00:07:58.340 So, 12 members of the jury are walking out of the trial with potentially 12 different and opposing ideas about what crime they just convicted a former president of committing.
00:08:13.520 Now, all that's to say, there are not enough words in the English language to describe what a travesty of justice this case was.
00:08:22.780 Trials like this are what define the third world.
00:08:25.820 Show me the man and I'll show you the crime, as the saying goes.
00:08:29.000 With this trial, Alvin Bragg, who ran for office on the platform of going after Donald Trump,
00:08:34.380 managed to come up with a Frankenstein fake crime for the sole purpose of fulfilling that campaign promise.
00:08:41.560 And it wasn't just a promise to New Yorkers that Bragg fulfilled.
00:08:44.000 It was a promise to Washington.
00:08:45.880 Now, if you don't believe that, if you don't believe that Biden's DOJ had anything to do with this case,
00:08:50.540 I would refer you to the video of Alvin Bragg gloating at a press conference yesterday after the verdict was announced.
00:08:57.120 Watch.
00:08:58.340 I did my job.
00:08:59.820 Our job is to follow the facts and the law without fear or favor.
00:09:04.940 And that's exactly what we did here.
00:09:06.620 And what I feel is gratitude to work alongside phenomenal public servants who do that each and every day in matters that you all write about and make the press.
00:09:16.720 And in lots of matters that you don't.
00:09:18.400 I did my job.
00:09:20.320 We did our job.
00:09:22.220 Many voices out there.
00:09:23.740 The only voice that matters is the voice of the jury and the jury has spoken.
00:09:30.340 Now, the man to Alvin Bragg's right in that video is named Matthew Colangelo.
00:09:36.220 He happens to be a former high-ranking Biden DOJ official who left that job in December of 2022 to work as a senior counsel with Alvin Bragg in the Manhattan DA's office.
00:09:45.940 In fact, he was the number three guy in the DOJ before he took a massive demotion to work in a much smaller local prosecutor's office.
00:09:54.980 Why would he do that?
00:09:57.500 Is he just really passionate about impartially enforcing bookkeeping laws in Manhattan?
00:10:03.040 Now, the New York Post did some digging on Colangelo, and that doesn't seem likely.
00:10:08.680 It looks a lot more like Colangelo took the assignment to serve as the Democratic Party's hatchet man to take out Trump.
00:10:14.400 Quoting from the Post, quote,
00:10:16.020 The DNC paid Matthew Colangelo $12,000 in January 2018 for political consulting Federal Election Commission filing show.
00:10:23.900 He was also an Obama donor.
00:10:25.600 And this is the man who went right from Joe Biden's DOJ to Alvin Bragg's office right around the time that Bragg was reportedly waffling about bringing charges against Trump.
00:10:36.200 Now, you could choose to believe that this is all a coincidence.
00:10:40.760 Maybe you'd think Matthew Colangelo would treat a Democrat in exactly the same way as he treated Trump.
00:10:46.280 If a Democrat supposedly falsified some business records, then Colangelo would be hot on their heels.
00:10:52.280 But that really doesn't appear to be likely either.
00:10:54.960 In 2022, while Colangelo was still at the DOJ, the Clinton campaign and the DNC struck a deal with the FEC after the FEC alleged that they had falsified campaign records.
00:11:04.140 Quoting from the AP, quote,
00:11:05.720 Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign at the Democratic National Committee have agreed to pay $113,000 to settle a Federal Election Commission investigation
00:11:13.140 into whether they violated campaign finance law by misreporting spending on research that eventually became the infamous Steele dossier.
00:11:20.960 The Clinton campaign hired Perkins Coe, which then hired Fusion GPS, a research and intelligence firm, to conduct opposition research on Republican candidate Donald Trump's ties to Russia.
00:11:31.400 But on FEC forms, the Clinton campaign classified the spending as illegal services.
00:11:36.520 Well, that sounds a lot like what Donald Trump was accused of doing, except much, much, much worse.
00:11:45.140 The Clinton campaign allegedly falsified records to hide their involvement in spreading the Russiagate lie.
00:11:52.080 That was a lie that dominated the political landscape for, what, six years?
00:11:55.340 It led to thousands of fake news articles and investigations, ruined the lives of several people who worked on the Trump campaign.
00:12:02.980 But no member of the Clinton campaign was ever hauled before a jury for falsifying records or for doing anything else.
00:12:10.140 Matthew Colangelo never even dreamed of prosecuting them.
00:12:13.660 And, of course, neither did Alvin Bragg.
00:12:15.920 The Clinton campaign and the DNC just paid a fine and the matter was resolved.
00:12:19.400 That was it.
00:12:20.260 There was never any criminal prosecution, much less talk of prison time.
00:12:23.280 But in Trump's case, the media is now doing everything it can to convince Americans that, according to established legal precedent,
00:12:31.080 Donald Trump must go to prison for this fake crime.
00:12:34.680 That appears to be the next step here.
00:12:37.120 CNN trotted out several panelists yesterday to make that case.
00:12:40.700 Watch.
00:12:41.620 He could do home arrest.
00:12:42.960 Every option is on the table with a Class E felony like this.
00:12:46.500 But I wanted to just put a perspective for people of what any other defendant,
00:12:51.700 because I worked in the DA's office for about 30 years.
00:12:55.140 I've seen hundreds of thousands of cases and sentences.
00:12:59.080 And those are the factors that would have gone into that equation.
00:13:03.520 And absolutely, without a doubt, any other defendant who was similarly situated to Donald Trump,
00:13:09.500 who is not going to show remorse and who I am sure will push the bounds of the still remaining gag order after this.
00:13:17.520 We'll see what happens.
00:13:19.000 But anyone else in that position would get would get prison.
00:13:21.460 Here's what I discovered.
00:13:22.800 Yes.
00:13:23.180 That in the most serious FBR cases, a sentence of imprisonment is routinely imposed.
00:13:32.060 This is the most serious falsifying business records case in the history of the state of New York.
00:13:37.740 I think Alvin Bragg is going to ask for a sentence of incarceration.
00:13:40.740 And I think Judge Mershon will very seriously weigh that.
00:13:45.740 So the special treatment you're saying would be if he were not given a prison sentence.
00:13:50.600 Right.
00:13:53.240 If you believe anything that you just heard there, then you are too stupid.
00:13:57.720 Then you're just you're well, you're too stupid.
00:14:00.540 You're too stupid to to tie your shoes in the morning.
00:14:03.680 Most likely these panelists want you to believe that Trump is getting special treatments in New York if he doesn't go to prison.
00:14:10.580 Like special treatment as in in a positive way.
00:14:14.580 They're going to do him a favor.
00:14:17.200 This is a city where you don't even go to prison if you pummel old ladies in the street.
00:14:22.840 This is a city that is profoundly reluctant to send anyone to prison for anything, even and especially for actual violent crimes committed against innocent people.
00:14:34.400 But this business records case is on a whole other level, they say.
00:14:38.900 The most serious business records case in the history of the state.
00:14:44.140 So serious that they can't even tell you what the crime was, even now after he's been convicted of it.
00:14:50.160 Trump didn't show remorse for this fake crime, so he needs to go to prison.
00:14:54.620 That's the logic, as Soviet as it is.
00:14:56.800 We're supposed to believe that that's the normal outcome in a case like this, but it's not.
00:15:01.760 If you look up recent prosecutions in New York for falsifying business records, you'll find that virtually all of them involve allegations of tax fraud or workers' compensation fraud where the defendant made money.
00:15:13.040 For example, there was a New York v. James Garner, a case from November 2021, in which, quote,
00:15:18.820 a mental health therapy aide was indicted for allegedly defrauding over $35,000 in workers' compensation benefits.
00:15:25.360 There was also a case of New York v. Jasu Aguilar Dubon from October 2022, in which, quote,
00:15:30.420 a Bronx business owner was indicted for failing to report over $1 million in income, avoiding paying $60,000 in taxes.
00:15:38.680 Now, on their website, the outlet Just Security has tallied many other examples like this.
00:15:42.620 But again, the point is that these people allegedly lied to obtain more money.
00:15:47.800 In this case, as I said, Trump overpaid his taxes, if anything.
00:15:52.580 So his prosecution is highly unusual for that reason alone.
00:15:57.000 And that's not the only strange aspect of this case, of course.
00:15:59.720 It's also more than a little odd that the same judge who handled this hush money trial
00:16:04.440 is also handling the criminal case against Steve Bannon and the criminal case against the Trump organization.
00:16:11.640 And this judge just so happens to be a Joe Biden donor.
00:16:15.900 Is that normal?
00:16:17.780 The CNN panelists wouldn't say, but we all know the answer.
00:16:20.920 They gave every Trump-related case to one single judge, and it just so happens to be a judge,
00:16:27.000 who donated to Trump's political opponent.
00:16:30.820 They're not even trying to hide what they're doing.
00:16:32.880 This is the kind of political corruption that you might read about in the Gulag Archipelago.
00:16:39.200 And up until now, you would read those stories, as I did when I first read the volumes of the Gulag Archipelago several years ago,
00:16:47.820 reading those stories and thinking, wow, well, I mean, thank God,
00:16:51.400 nothing that absurdly corrupt could ever happen here.
00:16:56.080 Here we are.
00:16:57.940 With the Trump trial, the left has trampled every norm that exists in the criminal justice system.
00:17:04.160 They prosecuted the leading presidential candidate in an election year for a seven-year-old fake crime.
00:17:09.340 They assigned a hack judge to the case, who essentially guided the jury to a conviction,
00:17:13.940 and they did it all in front of a jury in one of the most partisan places in the country.
00:17:17.500 A few weeks ago, one prospective juror who disqualified herself from the trial gave an interview
00:17:23.080 in which she explained that after meeting the other jurors, they did not seem completely impartial to her.
00:17:30.980 Listen.
00:17:32.240 This is Kat.
00:17:33.280 She runs a VC fund here in Manhattan for folks that are over 60 years of age.
00:17:38.420 She was just dismissed as a potential juror.
00:17:41.700 What happened?
00:17:42.480 Why were you dismissed?
00:17:43.740 Because I couldn't be impartial.
00:17:45.600 You couldn't be impartial.
00:17:46.320 So when the judge asked that hand, can you be impartial, you raised your hand and you said you cannot.
00:17:50.860 Exactly.
00:17:51.460 Wow.
00:17:51.900 Do you feel like the people that you were speaking with in that jury room that you sat with all day on Tuesday,
00:17:58.560 that they can put together a fair and impartial jury because of that sense of duty?
00:18:03.940 Do you think that's possible?
00:18:06.300 I'm not sure about that.
00:18:08.420 Really? Why?
00:18:09.100 You know, everybody has biases and, you know, stereotypes in their mind.
00:18:16.780 So you have to be a really, you know, deep and, you know, fair person, which is very hard to do, right?
00:18:25.640 Yeah.
00:18:25.880 In order to serve as a jury.
00:18:27.300 I hope they do.
00:18:28.280 I mean, this is justice, right?
00:18:31.940 Now, there's some speculation on social media that this woman might have leaned towards acquitting Trump, but we have no idea.
00:18:37.640 The fact that she's speaking to MSNBC would suggest otherwise.
00:18:40.280 But the key point is her firsthand observation of the jury, which is that they might not be impartial in the case.
00:18:47.800 And we all knew that, of course.
00:18:49.660 It was always impossible, quite literally impossible, that Trump would get an impartial jury.
00:18:56.520 Impossible that he could have a fair trial.
00:18:58.240 Impossible.
00:18:59.160 Nobody on earth is impartial to Donald Trump.
00:19:02.080 And if such a unicorn does exist, they don't live in New York City.
00:19:05.940 But this illustrates a key difference between the left and the right, which is that, in general, the left is committed to winning at all costs.
00:19:14.020 They're happy to seat biased jurors and judges to get what they want.
00:19:18.200 Meanwhile, conservatives are preoccupied with norms that nobody else in the country cares about.
00:19:25.360 Republicans could have arrested and charged Hillary Clinton for any number of crimes at any point in the past decade.
00:19:32.920 They could have pursued her for the Steele dossier FEC charge.
00:19:35.720 I mentioned earlier, investigated the Clinton Foundation, prosecuted Clinton's retention of classified materials, followed by her lie to the FBI during an interview about those materials.
00:19:45.480 But Republicans didn't do any of that on the basis that if they do that, then Democrats might return fire.
00:19:53.560 And so Republicans continue to cherish our norms while Democrats blow the norms to smithereens with a thousand sticks of dynamite.
00:20:02.660 Now, the necessary response is obvious, although it won't be pleasant.
00:20:09.100 Donald Trump should immediately create and publish a list of 10 high-ranking Democrat criminals who he will have arrested when he takes office.
00:20:17.380 First on the list should be Joe Biden.
00:20:19.020 Second should be Joe Biden's crackhead son.
00:20:21.600 And in the meantime, Republican AGs all over the country should pursue their own indictments.
00:20:25.040 Border states should charge government officials for deliberately contributing to human trafficking at the southern border.
00:20:31.460 And if Donald Trump's hush money, quote unquote, was illegal because it interfered with an election somehow, then so is importing millions of foreign nationals every year.
00:20:40.660 That's the biggest form of election interference imaginable.
00:20:43.260 Time to impanel a grand jury right away in the reddest city, in the reddest state on the map.
00:20:50.680 Better issue a gag order on Joe Biden, too, for good measure.
00:20:54.700 Take corrupt Democrats, corrupt Democrat criminals, put them on trial in front of juries that already hate them before the trial even begins.
00:21:06.140 That's what needs to happen.
00:21:08.260 Now, does that mean that we are stooping to their level?
00:21:11.260 No, it means that we must stop pretending that we live in a country that no longer exists.
00:21:19.280 Now, will any of this ever come to pass?
00:21:22.660 We'll see.
00:21:23.640 It's doubtful.
00:21:25.040 But it's the only viable option.
00:21:28.180 Right-wing lawfare is what's necessary to defeat left-wing lawfare.
00:21:32.820 There is no other way about it.
00:21:35.700 The entire legal system depends on a series of unstated principles that prosecutors won't pursue political cases, that juries will be impartial, that crimes must be clearly defined.
00:21:48.780 And once one side violates all of these principles, then the principles cease to exist for everyone.
00:21:58.480 They're gone.
00:22:00.340 They do not exist anymore.
00:22:02.240 And now it's mutually assured destruction.
00:22:07.060 But that's a deterrent that only works if there's a real possibility that it's actually enforced.
00:22:13.600 And after what just happened in Manhattan, it's well past time to introduce the left to what mutually assured destruction might look like.
00:22:23.020 So, frankly, I don't want to hear elected Republicans complaining about this verdict.
00:22:29.360 I don't need to see their tweets and their statements condemning it.
00:22:35.880 They've already put out all the statements and all the tweets.
00:22:39.840 I don't care.
00:22:41.360 None of us care.
00:22:42.360 We're not impressed with that.
00:22:44.300 If you're an elected Republican saying, I oppose this, and you're going on Fox News, and you're like, great.
00:22:49.820 Good for you.
00:22:51.800 The only thing that we want to hear from these people is which Democrats they will have arrested.
00:22:59.360 Don't tell us you're sad about the verdict.
00:23:01.140 We don't give a damn about your feelings.
00:23:03.640 We want to see corrupt Democrat criminals frog-marched on camera in handcuffs.
00:23:10.980 Don't whine about the double standard.
00:23:13.240 Force the Democrats' own standards on them.
00:23:18.060 Drag them there kicking and screaming.
00:23:22.280 And if you won't do that, then just shut up.
00:23:27.420 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:24:38.920 ABC 7 News in San Francisco reports a historic but controversial flag that has become a symbol of the far right
00:24:46.180 was taken down in front of San Francisco City Hall over the weekend.
00:24:49.260 According to a city official, the Appeal to Heaven flag was swapped with an American flag on Saturday.
00:24:54.560 Officials say the controversial flag was initially raised on Flag Day in 1964 at Civic Center.
00:24:59.460 It was part of what is known as the Pavilion of American Flags.
00:25:02.840 San Francisco Recreation and Parks Communication Manor Daniel Montez said the flag was originally used during the American Revolutionary War
00:25:08.660 flown by George Washington's cruisers.
00:25:10.760 It was associated with early quest for American independence.
00:25:13.900 It's since been adopted by a different group, one that doesn't represent the city's values,
00:25:17.540 so we made the decision to swap it with the American flag.
00:25:21.020 The Appeal to Heaven flag has made headlines recently after the banner was flown outside U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alita's
00:25:27.400 beach vacation home in New Jersey, according to the New York Times,
00:25:30.240 which obtained several images showing it on different dates in July and September 2023.
00:25:36.100 The Times previously reported that an upside-down American flag had flown outside Alito's Alexandria, Virginia home
00:25:40.460 less than two weeks after the violent January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
00:25:47.880 This is how it works, and we're watching the process in real time,
00:25:53.520 so it's very instructive, and it's worth taking note of this.
00:25:56.560 We are watching as the left takes the next historical symbol, which in this case has existed for 250 years,
00:26:06.640 back to our nation's founding, and just deciding that they're going to turn it into a problem.
00:26:13.200 Just deciding that it's a problem now.
00:26:15.660 This thing that has existed for 250 years hasn't been a problem, and now it's a problem.
00:26:23.640 And they decided it because Alito flew the flag at his vacation home.
00:26:28.340 Turns out that exact same flag had been outside of San Francisco City Hall for 50 years.
00:26:35.300 And so rather than the left saying, well, okay, never mind.
00:26:40.420 I mean, if this flag not only has been around for 250 years, but even for half a century has been flying in San Francisco,
00:26:46.840 then it's clearly not some sort of symbol of far-right extremism.
00:26:51.660 Rather than the left saying that, they're saying, oh, well, no.
00:26:55.320 See, we've decided that it's a symbol of far-right extremism.
00:26:57.700 And so rather than going back on that after we discover that it was actually flying outside of San Francisco City Hall,
00:27:03.840 we're just going to take it down from San Francisco City Hall.
00:27:05.780 So that's the way that works.
00:27:09.000 There was never any controversy around this flag.
00:27:12.840 For 250 years, there was no controversy.
00:27:16.880 For 250 years, up until 14 seconds ago, there was no controversy.
00:27:23.400 And now suddenly, it's a controversial flag.
00:27:27.700 So this is what they do.
00:27:31.840 They took this traditional American symbol and just decided one day on their own
00:27:37.940 that actually it stands for insurrection and right-wing extremism and presumably racism and so on.
00:27:49.600 And now the flag is being taken down from government buildings where, in the case of San Francisco, again, it's flown for 50 years.
00:27:56.960 It was 50 years without a problem until the left made it a problem.
00:28:01.940 And, of course, they've done this with countless American symbols.
00:28:07.040 But here we get to see it happening in real time.
00:28:11.020 We see the birth and the genesis of the false narrative.
00:28:14.580 We see how utterly arbitrary and contrived it is.
00:28:20.760 Let this be a lesson.
00:28:23.040 The next time you hear that some flag or symbol or statue or whatever is problematic,
00:28:28.660 remember that it's problematic simply because the left woke up that morning and decided that it is.
00:28:35.400 They've claimed for themselves the power, the authority to determine what our historical symbols mean.
00:28:45.280 They have claimed the right to imbue our history with whatever meaning they determine.
00:28:50.860 And if they decide one day, well, this is a problem, then it's a problem.
00:28:59.280 Problematizing, as they call it.
00:29:02.560 This is like a leftist term, problematize.
00:29:06.180 And this is exactly what it means.
00:29:07.980 They take something and they rip it apart and they sift through it and they look for a reason for it to be a problem.
00:29:19.140 They take something that is not a problem, that they know is not a problem, and they say,
00:29:23.140 okay, we're going to find a reason to make this a problem.
00:29:29.460 And now they're doing it with this historic American flag.
00:29:33.800 And the pretense, anyway, and it is only pretense, but the pretense is that this flag was flown by somebody on January 6th, supposedly.
00:29:51.520 So just somebody in the crowd happened to have this flag, and that means that now the flag is a symbol of right-wing extremism.
00:29:58.480 Now, as I pointed out before, and others have pointed out, well, you know, American flags, those were the main flags.
00:30:10.600 The Star-Spangled Banner was flown on January 6th by a lot of those people.
00:30:17.540 And so does that make the American flag a right-wing extremist symbol?
00:30:22.960 And, of course, the answer is yes.
00:30:27.200 In the left's mind, they hear that objection and they say, yeah, that's a right-wing extremist symbol too.
00:30:37.580 And I'm telling you right now, we are going to get to the point in the not-too-distant future where there will be a real effort
00:30:44.180 to get rid of the American flag, the actual American flag, and replace it with something.
00:30:49.900 That is going to happen.
00:30:52.960 Now, it's true that when I make political predictions about, like, who's going to win in elections, I'm very often wrong.
00:30:59.760 You should ignore me on that.
00:31:01.360 But when it comes to cultural trends, I'm usually right.
00:31:06.660 And so this is a cultural trend that I'm telling you right now.
00:31:12.400 In the next few years, at least, the American flag itself, there's going to be a real movement to change the flag
00:31:21.200 and get rid of it on the basis that it has become a symbol of, well, not just that it has become a symbol of right-wing extremism,
00:31:30.740 but that, in fact, it has always been.
00:31:32.200 It's a symbol of racism.
00:31:34.320 It's all of this, right?
00:31:35.340 Going back and slavery and everything.
00:31:39.140 Of course, you wouldn't have to look that hard to find leftists who are openly making that case right now as we speak.
00:31:44.380 But in the next few years, especially if Joe Biden is reelected, or I should say, especially if reelected or not,
00:31:58.760 Joe Biden is still president after this next election,
00:32:03.680 especially then that will sort of turbocharge this movement.
00:32:07.720 And, you know, the real problematizing of the American flag will happen, without a doubt.
00:32:15.860 And they've already set the stage for that with things like this.
00:32:22.420 And if they can do it, if they can do it with this, with the appeal to heaven flag,
00:32:26.460 that's 250 years old,
00:32:29.680 and they can just decide, like, in the span of a week,
00:32:32.680 it goes from totally fine to we have to take it down because it's so controversial.
00:32:37.880 If they can do that in a week with this, well, they can do it with anything.
00:32:44.300 What will replace the American flag when they decide to take it down and rip it up?
00:32:51.020 Yeah, I mean, the obvious choice would be the pride flag,
00:32:54.020 and I would expect that's where this is headed.
00:32:58.160 Where the pride flag becomes the new American flag.
00:33:02.680 All right, New York Post reports on a new study from the antinatalists
00:33:07.140 continuing their campaign to discourage the human race,
00:33:11.280 you know, rather, well, rather encourage the human race to embrace its own extinction.
00:33:16.340 Here's the headline.
00:33:18.240 Fatherhood might be bad for your heart.
00:33:22.140 Article says, kids may pull on your heartstrings in more ways than one.
00:33:26.360 Fathers have worse cardiovascular health than men without kids, according to a new study.
00:33:30.460 Researchers from Northwestern University and Ann and Robert H.
00:33:34.160 Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago analyzed data from 2,814 men between ages 45 and 85
00:33:40.520 and found that health outcomes varied considerably by ethnicity
00:33:44.120 and how old the man was when his first kid was born.
00:33:47.180 For example, men who became fathers under age 25
00:33:49.280 seemed to have worse heart health than other fathers.
00:33:53.000 This was especially true among men who were Hispanic or black.
00:33:55.940 The study published in AGPM Focus earlier this month
00:34:00.080 used data from the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis.
00:34:06.160 The men were grouped as being fathers or non-fathers
00:34:08.700 and self-identified as black, Chinese, Hispanic, or white.
00:34:11.880 Fathers made up 82% of the group.
00:34:15.840 Black, Chinese, Hispanic, or white.
00:34:20.040 Seems like a really specific category there with Chinese.
00:34:22.720 Why not Asian? I don't know.
00:34:23.620 The researchers looked at a number of health markers,
00:34:28.160 including diet, exercise, and smoking habits,
00:34:30.260 weight, blood pressure, and glucose levels,
00:34:32.200 and it turns out that it's bad for your heart to be a father.
00:34:36.620 Now, as you hear this, you might be a little confused
00:34:39.280 because maybe you could have sworn that you've heard studies
00:34:42.760 that show that married men and family men tend to be healthier and live longer.
00:34:49.240 So what's up with that?
00:34:50.320 Well, that's true, and in fact, this very same study even acknowledges that.
00:34:55.540 Quote,
00:34:56.460 Fathers might live longer.
00:34:58.360 While the fathers in the study had worse cardiovascular health overall,
00:35:01.240 they were the least likely to die from any cause in the group.
00:35:05.200 Researchers said that this may be because fathers have more social support than non-fathers.
00:35:09.040 Fathers may also be more likely to have someone as their future caretaker
00:35:13.480 to help them attend medical appointments and manage medications.
00:35:16.880 We also found that fathers had lower rates of depressive symptoms than non-fathers,
00:35:20.920 so mental health may be contributing to the lower death rates in fathers.
00:35:23.860 Okay.
00:35:24.820 So fatherhood destroys your heart and helps you live longer.
00:35:29.220 If that finding seems like nonsense, it's because, of course, it is.
00:35:34.760 And studies like this are pointless anyway.
00:35:37.860 Because if you put the effort in to take care of yourself,
00:35:40.260 you'll probably have good heart health.
00:35:42.740 Now, there could be other things that happen, other diseases that
00:35:45.160 crop up that are basically outside of your control.
00:35:49.280 But generally, if you take good care of yourself,
00:35:52.120 you'll have pretty good heart health and good health in general
00:35:54.660 for a long time anyway.
00:35:58.380 And if you don't take good care of yourself, then you won't.
00:36:00.440 And that's the case whether you have 10 kids or no kids.
00:36:04.420 So even if we accept the results here,
00:36:06.400 it doesn't mean that if you have kids,
00:36:08.880 you're more likely to have a bad heart.
00:36:11.600 Your own personal likelihood of having heart problems
00:36:14.680 depends largely on your own eating and exercising habits.
00:36:18.960 And that's what will determine it.
00:36:20.280 And I can say this for my case,
00:36:24.880 that if I was not married and I had no kids
00:36:28.820 at my advanced age of almost 38,
00:36:31.560 I would probably be obese at this point.
00:36:34.580 I mean, I would certainly be pretty flabby and weak.
00:36:37.660 And that's because when I go to work out,
00:36:39.680 at least like 85% of my motivation
00:36:42.020 is that I have a wife and kids
00:36:44.600 and I want to stay strong and healthy for my family.
00:36:48.560 Like, that's what drives me.
00:36:51.360 And the other 15% is that
00:36:53.480 probably that I'm on camera every day
00:36:55.600 and I don't want to be fat.
00:36:57.060 But, you know, I could probably rationalize
00:36:59.940 even, you know, that 15%,
00:37:01.980 I could probably rationalize that away
00:37:03.340 if I didn't have a family.
00:37:05.000 I could probably convince myself that,
00:37:07.740 you know, maybe I could just become a fat guy
00:37:09.580 and that'll be part of my brand.
00:37:12.080 I could even take the stage name, Fat Matt or something.
00:37:14.900 Like, you know, you can work with it.
00:37:15.960 It can work.
00:37:16.440 You can work with the fat thing if you're on camera.
00:37:19.560 But I'm not going to do that
00:37:21.100 because I have a family
00:37:22.100 and I don't want to die of a heart attack
00:37:24.240 when I'm 45.
00:37:25.080 And I also want my children to see me
00:37:27.000 as a strong presence in the home,
00:37:28.840 a source of protection and security.
00:37:30.600 And if you're a flabby little weakling,
00:37:33.060 it's hard to maintain that image
00:37:34.640 in front of your family.
00:37:36.040 And this is how I feel
00:37:37.200 about so many of the supposed drawbacks
00:37:41.120 of having a family.
00:37:43.040 You know, I hear about the drawbacks
00:37:46.080 and they are so foreign to my own experience.
00:37:50.560 They are so often the opposite
00:37:52.400 of what my experience has been
00:37:54.020 because you also hear that having a family
00:37:56.120 will make you poor.
00:37:57.720 And again, for me, it's the opposite.
00:38:00.420 My family is what motivates me
00:38:02.400 to go out every day and try to succeed
00:38:04.280 and earn as much money as I can.
00:38:06.100 It's hard to imagine that I would have
00:38:07.660 anywhere close to the same ambition
00:38:09.620 and success if I was just earning
00:38:12.560 a living for myself.
00:38:14.940 I mean, honestly, if it was just me,
00:38:17.780 I could probably get by pretty easily
00:38:20.060 on, you know, like being like
00:38:21.700 a Walmart assistant manager
00:38:22.880 or something like that.
00:38:23.520 And I don't mean that as an insult
00:38:24.420 to Walmart assistant managers.
00:38:25.520 I'm just saying that a single guy
00:38:27.280 doesn't need much.
00:38:28.980 When I lived alone in my early 20s,
00:38:31.900 I slept on a mattress
00:38:34.160 directly on the floor.
00:38:35.640 Didn't even have a box spring,
00:38:37.200 just a mattress.
00:38:37.980 And I slept like that
00:38:40.300 for like five years.
00:38:41.120 In fact, I had the mattress
00:38:42.160 in my living room.
00:38:43.700 I did.
00:38:43.960 I did.
00:38:44.220 I don't want to brag,
00:38:44.740 but I had two rooms in my apartment,
00:38:46.900 bedroom and a living room.
00:38:49.240 So, you know,
00:38:49.860 I was living pretty high on the hog.
00:38:51.260 But I didn't really use the bedroom.
00:38:52.640 I just dragged the mattress
00:38:53.440 into the living room
00:38:54.120 because I figured like
00:38:54.680 all my stuff is there
00:38:55.480 and I got the TV.
00:38:56.140 I want to watch TV in bed.
00:38:57.460 And so I got my couch
00:38:58.220 and my mattress just lying there
00:38:59.620 and like a little tiny table
00:39:01.060 and a TV.
00:39:04.220 And that's how I lived
00:39:05.060 for like five years.
00:39:05.740 And I could still live that way now
00:39:08.500 at even at my age
00:39:09.960 if I wasn't a husband
00:39:10.860 and a father.
00:39:11.940 If I didn't have any family
00:39:13.200 and it was just me,
00:39:14.880 I'd probably still
00:39:15.960 basically be living that way.
00:39:18.480 So this is the strange position
00:39:20.660 that I'm in
00:39:21.180 and that a lot of
00:39:21.800 that men who have families are in
00:39:25.080 that I'm constantly told
00:39:27.900 that having a family
00:39:29.020 means that I will lose
00:39:32.400 all of the things
00:39:33.620 that I actually gained
00:39:35.520 because I have a family.
00:39:38.800 I'm constantly told
00:39:39.860 that if you have a family,
00:39:41.520 you can't have
00:39:42.920 all the things
00:39:43.780 that I have
00:39:44.740 and not only have
00:39:45.640 but only have
00:39:47.080 because of the fact
00:39:48.480 that I have a family
00:39:49.300 or largely have
00:39:50.700 because of that fact.
00:39:52.360 It's very bizarre.
00:39:53.320 Let's see.
00:39:59.160 Fox LA
00:39:59.920 has a major update
00:40:00.840 to one of the most important
00:40:01.960 stories of the decade
00:40:02.800 and I'll read through
00:40:04.080 this article a bit
00:40:04.860 and then I have
00:40:06.040 some shocking images,
00:40:07.000 some pictures
00:40:07.380 that I'll show you
00:40:07.980 at the end of it
00:40:08.620 and we'll go through those.
00:40:10.560 But
00:40:10.700 so here's the story.
00:40:15.380 There are at least
00:40:16.260 two beings
00:40:17.520 using some sort of
00:40:18.800 cloaking device
00:40:19.760 that landed
00:40:20.240 in a Las Vegas backyard,
00:40:21.900 a veteran crime scene
00:40:23.120 reconstruction analyst said.
00:40:25.600 Scott Roeder
00:40:26.320 who has testified
00:40:26.780 as an expert
00:40:27.340 in some of the most
00:40:27.900 highly publicized
00:40:28.520 criminal cases in the world
00:40:29.360 broke down a video
00:40:30.800 of a reported alien sighting
00:40:32.440 in Los Angeles
00:40:33.120 frame by frame.
00:40:35.320 In one second of real time
00:40:36.800 there are 30 frames
00:40:37.800 that show a head
00:40:38.580 with smoke around it
00:40:39.700 which Roeder called
00:40:40.960 some sort of
00:40:41.760 cloaking device
00:40:42.620 moving into the top
00:40:43.920 right corner of the video
00:40:44.760 and peering over the fence.
00:40:47.240 He said,
00:40:47.560 quote,
00:40:47.960 I apply the same principles
00:40:49.000 that I would apply
00:40:49.640 to any kind of
00:40:50.200 homicide investigations
00:40:51.100 at this particular time
00:40:51.880 with what we've seen here
00:40:53.300 is proof of a couple of things
00:40:54.540 that these entities
00:40:55.180 are real
00:40:55.860 that they're there
00:40:57.180 this is not fake
00:40:58.460 this is not a fraud.
00:41:02.980 So you may remember
00:41:03.920 the story we talked about
00:41:04.640 of course on the show
00:41:05.360 several months ago
00:41:06.980 that there was this story
00:41:08.160 of
00:41:08.580 of aliens
00:41:10.660 that landed
00:41:11.200 in someone's backyard
00:41:12.060 in Las Vegas
00:41:12.660 and
00:41:14.100 they got turned around
00:41:15.600 they were a little bit
00:41:16.240 they were lost
00:41:16.740 they were confused
00:41:17.280 and
00:41:18.500 so they landed
00:41:19.580 in the backyard
00:41:20.080 and
00:41:21.800 at the time
00:41:22.540 many people
00:41:24.440 and there was
00:41:26.400 appeared to be
00:41:27.280 some kind of video
00:41:27.900 that was taken
00:41:28.420 but you couldn't really
00:41:29.080 see the aliens
00:41:29.680 in the video
00:41:30.240 and a lot of people
00:41:31.740 I think quite foolishly
00:41:33.120 just declared
00:41:35.600 that because you can't
00:41:36.780 see the aliens
00:41:37.420 in the video
00:41:38.180 the video is therefore
00:41:40.200 not sufficient evidence
00:41:41.980 that there were
00:41:42.680 any aliens there
00:41:43.660 but Scott Roeder
00:41:46.380 is coming along
00:41:46.900 and he's an expert
00:41:47.560 and he's saying
00:41:49.040 look they have
00:41:49.440 invisibility cloaks
00:41:50.340 that's what this expert
00:41:52.380 is saying
00:41:52.760 and this guy
00:41:53.400 he's an expert
00:41:54.480 in aliens
00:41:56.620 with invisibility cloaks
00:41:57.780 I thought I was the only one
00:41:59.220 I'm also an expert
00:41:59.960 in that subject
00:42:00.540 and I thought
00:42:01.640 I was the only expert
00:42:02.820 in this field
00:42:03.340 it's sort of a
00:42:04.480 it's a burgeoning field
00:42:06.360 it's a growing field
00:42:07.240 but I had been
00:42:08.140 the only expert
00:42:08.760 up until now
00:42:09.460 but now he is as well
00:42:13.000 and I concur with him
00:42:14.240 so there's really
00:42:14.760 expert
00:42:15.280 there's a
00:42:15.780 there's a unanimous
00:42:16.780 the experts
00:42:17.800 unanimously agree
00:42:18.900 that
00:42:20.400 that these aliens
00:42:23.060 aren't
00:42:23.320 have invisibility cloaks
00:42:24.380 and that's why
00:42:24.820 you can't see them
00:42:25.400 so let's look at the photos
00:42:26.620 let's just pull up the photos
00:42:28.720 and take a look at them
00:42:29.420 okay so you see there
00:42:31.100 so you can see
00:42:33.080 so right
00:42:34.400 so you see where the arrow
00:42:35.340 is pointing
00:42:35.780 and it's right
00:42:37.260 it's right there
00:42:38.680 let's go to the next photo
00:42:40.000 oh right here
00:42:41.760 I want you to look
00:42:42.440 at where this arrow
00:42:42.900 points
00:42:43.140 what do you see there
00:42:44.220 what do you see
00:42:45.400 what do you see
00:42:46.260 here where the arrow
00:42:46.920 is pointing
00:42:47.300 you don't see anything
00:42:49.440 you see nothing at all
00:42:51.380 so go back to that
00:42:52.280 first photo
00:42:52.800 go back
00:42:53.740 can we go back again
00:42:54.620 okay
00:42:55.660 look here again
00:42:56.720 what do you see
00:42:58.060 in this
00:42:58.820 in this area
00:42:59.540 right here
00:43:00.000 absolutely nothing
00:43:01.540 you don't see anything
00:43:02.280 this is like literally
00:43:03.660 nothing
00:43:03.960 you can't see a single
00:43:04.800 thing at all
00:43:05.340 that's exactly the point
00:43:07.560 precisely
00:43:08.720 so you can clearly see
00:43:11.160 with those photos
00:43:12.240 that you can't see
00:43:13.300 anything
00:43:13.800 but these are invisible
00:43:17.040 aliens remember
00:43:17.980 so not seeing them
00:43:20.580 is seeing them
00:43:21.200 when you don't see them
00:43:23.180 you are seeing them
00:43:23.900 because they're invisible
00:43:24.480 in fact I would
00:43:25.500 I would go so far
00:43:27.240 as to say this
00:43:27.720 I would say that
00:43:28.320 the photos would be
00:43:29.840 less convincing
00:43:30.940 if you could see aliens
00:43:32.980 because think about it
00:43:35.360 somebody says to you
00:43:37.080 oh there are invisible
00:43:37.840 aliens in my backyard
00:43:38.800 and you say
00:43:39.380 let me see a picture
00:43:40.180 I don't believe you
00:43:40.780 and then they show you
00:43:42.740 a picture
00:43:43.160 of an alien
00:43:44.640 and you would say
00:43:45.900 well you're
00:43:46.680 you're full of
00:43:47.360 I can see the alien
00:43:49.020 is obviously not invisible
00:43:50.040 you see what I'm saying
00:43:51.980 they show you a picture
00:43:53.680 and there's no alien
00:43:54.840 then you go
00:43:55.620 oh well that's
00:43:56.660 clearly
00:43:57.140 he's invisible
00:43:57.900 there's no alien there
00:43:59.700 so that
00:44:01.060 you're saying to yourself
00:44:02.260 well that's exactly
00:44:03.040 what I expected
00:44:03.640 this picture to look like
00:44:04.720 in other words
00:44:06.640 on the theory
00:44:08.800 okay this is science
00:44:09.780 on
00:44:11.540 because
00:44:11.920 what is a science
00:44:13.100 a scientific theory
00:44:13.760 a scientific theory
00:44:14.540 is a way of explaining
00:44:16.240 things that occur
00:44:17.720 in the physical world
00:44:18.420 and so
00:44:18.720 on the theory
00:44:20.140 that there is
00:44:21.180 an invisible alien
00:44:22.420 in your backyard
00:44:23.340 that theory predicts
00:44:25.600 that a photo
00:44:27.560 of the alien
00:44:28.500 will not show anything
00:44:29.980 that's what the theory
00:44:31.880 predicts
00:44:32.300 and then you look
00:44:33.600 at the photo
00:44:34.040 and what do you know
00:44:35.020 there's nothing
00:44:35.520 so the theory
00:44:37.320 has been proven
00:44:38.000 the theory has been
00:44:39.000 confirmed
00:44:39.460 it's confirmed
00:44:39.980 it's actually a fact
00:44:41.700 now
00:44:41.920 it is a fact
00:44:43.160 we now have
00:44:43.940 confirmation
00:44:44.240 we have absolute
00:44:45.400 confirmation
00:44:45.860 you cannot
00:44:46.420 that's 100%
00:44:47.680 evidence
00:44:48.740 reliable evidence
00:44:51.340 that the aliens
00:44:52.480 are there
00:44:52.860 so
00:44:53.260 you know
00:44:55.980 seeing is believing
00:44:57.920 but
00:44:58.980 not seeing
00:45:00.180 is
00:45:01.740 even more
00:45:03.460 believing
00:45:03.900 when it comes
00:45:05.220 to
00:45:05.580 invisible aliens
00:45:06.740 and
00:45:08.040 so that's
00:45:10.300 just
00:45:10.460 anyway
00:45:10.740 I get a little
00:45:12.000 nerdy
00:45:12.300 when we get
00:45:12.620 into the science
00:45:13.260 of it
00:45:13.560 but
00:45:13.820 that's the science
00:45:14.800 there it is
00:45:15.280 Jeremy's
00:45:16.400 second gen

00:45:46.980 like a man
00:45:47.740 not a manifesto
00:45:49.140 now let's get to
00:45:50.080 our daily
00:45:50.520 cancellation
00:45:50.960 yesterday before
00:45:58.300 the Trump
00:45:58.880 verdict swept
00:45:59.660 away all of
00:46:00.240 their conversations
00:46:00.880 on social media
00:46:01.640 I had been
00:46:02.280 involved in a
00:46:03.120 debate about
00:46:03.880 obesity
00:46:04.360 and here was
00:46:05.800 the question at
00:46:06.420 the center of
00:46:07.260 this discussion
00:46:07.940 on Twitter
00:46:08.600 can you lose
00:46:10.240 weight simply
00:46:11.760 by eating less
00:46:12.820 and exercising
00:46:13.840 more
00:46:14.240 now if you're
00:46:15.720 a sane person
00:46:16.580 this does not
00:46:18.220 sound like much
00:46:19.040 of a debate
00:46:19.520 at all
00:46:20.060 we might as
00:46:21.000 well debate
00:46:21.360 whether walking
00:46:22.200 is best achieved
00:46:23.180 by putting one
00:46:23.980 foot in front
00:46:24.420 of another
00:46:24.740 or whether
00:46:25.900 there's a
00:46:26.320 noticeable causal
00:46:27.260 link between
00:46:27.960 putting your
00:46:28.820 hand on a hot
00:46:29.520 stove and
00:46:30.180 sustaining a
00:46:31.300 burn on that
00:46:32.140 same hand
00:46:32.780 these do not
00:46:34.400 sound like
00:46:34.900 debatable topics
00:46:36.020 and yet people
00:46:37.080 were debating
00:46:37.880 it lots of
00:46:38.840 people including
00:46:40.160 and especially
00:46:40.700 those who
00:46:41.680 fashion themselves
00:46:42.480 experts
00:46:43.100 now it began
00:46:45.000 when I posted
00:46:45.700 a response to
00:46:46.520 a tweet from
00:46:47.620 the account
00:46:48.060 raw egg
00:46:48.740 nationalists and
00:46:49.620 healing to
00:46:50.060 a study
00:46:50.400 from 1992
00:46:51.140 finding that
00:46:52.280 obese people
00:46:52.940 tend to
00:46:53.520 under report
00:46:54.280 the amount
00:46:54.800 of food
00:46:55.240 they eat
00:46:55.700 and over
00:46:56.700 report the
00:46:57.300 amount of
00:46:57.680 exercise they
00:46:58.480 get and then
00:46:59.620 they complain
00:47:00.140 that they
00:47:00.440 can't lose
00:47:00.880 weight
00:47:01.180 they complain
00:47:04.020 that they're
00:47:04.420 doing everything
00:47:04.880 they can to
00:47:05.360 lose weight
00:47:05.800 according to
00:47:06.820 the study
00:47:07.180 they're actually
00:47:07.560 not doing
00:47:08.660 the things
00:47:09.140 they claim
00:47:09.640 they're doing
00:47:10.060 and so that's
00:47:11.220 why they're
00:47:11.420 not losing
00:47:11.720 weight
00:47:11.960 and I said
00:47:13.960 this a bunch
00:47:15.000 of people on
00:47:15.480 here got mad
00:47:16.040 at me recently
00:47:16.500 because I said
00:47:17.080 that literally
00:47:17.500 anyone can lose
00:47:18.280 weight simply
00:47:18.700 by eating
00:47:19.100 less and
00:47:19.440 exercising
00:47:19.820 more
00:47:20.120 but it's
00:47:20.580 obviously
00:47:20.860 true
00:47:21.180 the idea
00:47:21.720 that overweight
00:47:22.200 people remain
00:47:22.800 overweight even
00:47:23.480 with dieting
00:47:24.020 and exercise
00:47:24.420 is asinine
00:47:25.900 it's actually
00:47:26.480 a scientific
00:47:27.200 impossibility
00:47:28.140 that's what I
00:47:29.600 said
00:47:29.740 pretty straightforward
00:47:30.420 obvious
00:47:31.300 unassailable
00:47:32.060 you might
00:47:32.960 think
00:47:33.240 but then came
00:47:34.800 the indignant
00:47:35.440 responses
00:47:36.100 and we read
00:47:36.660 just there were
00:47:37.280 a lot of them
00:47:37.660 but let me
00:47:37.940 just read a few
00:47:38.540 of them for
00:47:39.160 you
00:47:39.680 and we'll
00:47:41.300 start with
00:47:41.640 this from
00:47:42.400 metabolic health
00:47:43.560 coach and
00:47:44.180 public speaker
00:47:44.840 Valerie Ann
00:47:45.660 Smith
00:47:45.980 she posted
00:47:46.580 quote
00:47:46.960 asinine
00:47:48.520 what's asinine
00:47:50.040 is the
00:47:50.400 patronizing
00:47:51.060 attitude
00:47:51.480 and your
00:47:51.860 poor
00:47:52.140 understanding
00:47:52.660 of the
00:47:53.020 metabolic
00:47:53.360 challenges
00:47:54.060 faced by
00:47:55.000 those struggling
00:47:55.640 with obesity
00:47:56.220 thankfully we
00:47:57.380 have a whole
00:47:57.780 community that
00:47:58.400 cares and can
00:47:59.000 offer real
00:47:59.500 help solutions
00:48:00.220 even in the
00:48:01.240 face of your
00:48:01.780 continued
00:48:02.320 comments
00:48:03.000 yes even in
00:48:05.340 the face of
00:48:05.820 my comments
00:48:06.780 my comments
00:48:10.980 that are
00:48:11.360 such an
00:48:12.880 obstacle
00:48:13.300 in the way
00:48:13.940 even with
00:48:14.880 my comments
00:48:15.700 they're able
00:48:16.160 to somehow
00:48:17.200 find a way
00:48:17.940 to continue
00:48:18.860 on
00:48:19.120 how brave
00:48:19.920 how brave
00:48:20.400 of them
00:48:20.680 there are
00:48:22.400 some themes
00:48:22.860 in this
00:48:23.100 response
00:48:23.460 that we'll
00:48:23.780 notice
00:48:24.100 in all
00:48:24.420 of the
00:48:24.640 others
00:48:24.880 like this
00:48:25.760 one
00:48:25.940 from a
00:48:26.560 guy named
00:48:26.860 Chris Cornell
00:48:27.480 I'm not
00:48:29.000 mad that
00:48:29.440 you appear
00:48:29.900 to have
00:48:30.160 no idea
00:48:30.700 about the
00:48:31.080 challenges
00:48:31.420 faced by
00:48:31.940 a large
00:48:32.240 percentage
00:48:32.600 of people
00:48:33.040 struggling
00:48:33.520 with obesity
00:48:34.100 it can
00:48:34.840 actually be
00:48:35.280 helpful
00:48:35.600 when an
00:48:36.020 influencer
00:48:36.420 with such
00:48:36.760 a poor
00:48:37.140 understanding
00:48:37.620 of an
00:48:37.880 issue
00:48:38.100 confidently
00:48:38.940 speaks out
00:48:39.580 with such
00:48:39.880 patronizing
00:48:40.540 certainty
00:48:40.940 it gives
00:48:41.700 an opportunity
00:48:42.140 for others
00:48:42.680 to offer
00:48:43.160 potentially
00:48:43.620 helpful
00:48:44.060 information
00:48:44.600 meanwhile
00:48:45.760 a professor
00:48:46.160 at Duke
00:48:46.640 named
00:48:47.040 Herman
00:48:47.440 Ponser
00:48:48.020 who by
00:48:48.980 the way
00:48:49.260 looks exactly
00:48:50.420 like a
00:48:50.920 Herman
00:48:51.200 Ponser
00:48:51.660 said this
00:48:52.880 here as in
00:48:54.200 most of his
00:48:54.620 work he
00:48:55.300 misses the
00:48:55.720 point
00:48:55.980 sure calorie
00:48:56.900 deficits
00:48:57.260 will lead
00:48:57.640 to weight
00:48:57.880 loss
00:48:58.120 the problem
00:48:58.740 is achieving
00:48:59.200 that through
00:48:59.580 diet and
00:48:59.980 exercise
00:49:00.280 is incredibly
00:49:00.880 hard
00:49:01.240 so his
00:49:02.020 simply
00:49:02.560 is mathematically
00:49:03.340 correct
00:49:03.820 but there's
00:49:04.600 nothing simple
00:49:05.200 about it
00:49:05.700 also there's
00:49:06.940 this from
00:49:07.240 somebody named
00:49:07.740 Liz
00:49:08.160 I wish it
00:49:09.320 were this
00:49:09.580 simple Matt
00:49:10.060 even if you
00:49:10.620 are thoroughly
00:49:11.140 convinced you're
00:49:11.720 correct
00:49:12.020 imagine for a
00:49:13.020 moment what it
00:49:13.900 would be like
00:49:14.760 if you did
00:49:15.780 eat less
00:49:16.280 weigh less
00:49:16.940 track your
00:49:17.540 intake
00:49:17.880 test for ketones
00:49:19.120 limit carbs
00:49:20.580 exercise
00:49:21.140 including resistance
00:49:21.840 training
00:49:22.160 and you were
00:49:22.860 still obese
00:49:23.640 and not
00:49:24.140 losing
00:49:24.480 sometimes even
00:49:25.340 gaining weight
00:49:26.040 and then imagine
00:49:26.880 the judgment
00:49:27.300 from others
00:49:27.760 who don't
00:49:28.660 believe you
00:49:29.320 PCOS
00:49:30.800 polycystic
00:49:31.600 ovary syndrome
00:49:32.300 is a
00:49:32.980 it will
00:49:33.920 it also
00:49:34.380 often causes
00:49:35.100 infertility
00:49:35.700 would you also
00:49:37.180 insist that
00:49:37.680 someone is just
00:49:38.300 too uptight
00:49:38.980 to get pregnant
00:49:39.560 be grateful
00:49:40.700 that your body
00:49:41.120 works well
00:49:41.620 with the efforts
00:49:42.060 you make
00:49:42.420 reward for
00:49:43.180 the same
00:49:43.600 effort
00:49:43.900 is a gift
00:49:44.540 not everybody
00:49:45.160 is given
00:49:45.540 okay
00:49:46.060 you get the
00:49:48.120 idea
00:49:48.340 so lots
00:49:49.360 more of those
00:49:49.800 came from
00:49:50.280 and lots
00:49:50.740 of people
00:49:50.960 saying that
00:49:51.520 I'm oversimplifying
00:49:53.240 and there's a lot
00:49:53.840 of people
00:49:54.180 that in fact
00:49:55.160 someone just
00:49:55.840 said to me
00:49:56.180 today
00:49:56.520 that there
00:49:58.960 are plenty
00:49:59.220 of people
00:49:59.500 who rigidly
00:50:01.320 stick to a
00:50:01.840 diet and
00:50:02.600 exercise five
00:50:03.800 days a week
00:50:04.480 and yet do
00:50:06.040 not lose a
00:50:06.680 single pound
00:50:07.320 that's a claim
00:50:08.560 that somebody
00:50:08.860 made to me
00:50:09.400 now there's a
00:50:11.320 there's a
00:50:11.820 fundamental
00:50:12.340 confusion on
00:50:13.120 display with
00:50:13.720 all of these
00:50:14.240 people who
00:50:15.000 while suffering
00:50:15.720 from this
00:50:16.500 confusion are
00:50:17.240 nonetheless
00:50:17.560 accusing me
00:50:18.480 of failing to
00:50:19.720 be a
00:50:19.960 sophisticated
00:50:20.480 thinker
00:50:21.140 who can
00:50:21.480 pick up
00:50:21.900 on fine
00:50:22.400 distinctions
00:50:22.940 here's the
00:50:24.040 distinction
00:50:24.420 that they
00:50:25.280 and many
00:50:25.720 other people
00:50:26.100 with their
00:50:26.360 view on
00:50:26.640 this topic
00:50:27.100 somehow miss
00:50:28.580 the words
00:50:30.400 simple
00:50:31.080 and hard
00:50:32.320 are not
00:50:33.800 mutually
00:50:34.300 exclusive
00:50:34.920 just because
00:50:36.360 a thing
00:50:36.700 is hard
00:50:37.280 that doesn't
00:50:38.720 mean that
00:50:39.040 it's
00:50:39.460 complicated
00:50:40.200 this is my
00:50:41.660 point about
00:50:42.220 weight loss
00:50:42.840 it isn't
00:50:43.580 complicated
00:50:44.180 it is very
00:50:45.000 simple
00:50:45.600 in fact it's
00:50:46.420 one of the
00:50:46.820 simplest
00:50:47.180 things in
00:50:48.240 the world
00:50:48.740 burn more
00:50:50.240 calories than
00:50:51.260 you take
00:50:51.740 in you
00:50:52.520 will lose
00:50:53.380 weight you
00:50:54.120 will this
00:50:54.880 is physics
00:50:55.780 it's a law
00:50:56.480 of nature
00:50:57.040 it is true
00:50:58.300 of everyone
00:50:59.100 everywhere for
00:51:00.060 all time
00:51:00.860 okay it's a
00:51:02.220 it's it's a
00:51:03.360 reason why there
00:51:04.360 there has never
00:51:04.880 been a single
00:51:05.480 case of somebody
00:51:06.740 being stranded
00:51:07.400 on a desert
00:51:08.000 island for months
00:51:08.820 with little to
00:51:09.440 no food and
00:51:10.440 then when they're
00:51:10.860 rescued everyone's
00:51:11.820 shocked to see
00:51:12.600 that they somehow
00:51:13.500 have put on
00:51:14.160 weight during the
00:51:15.000 experience never
00:51:15.880 happened once in
00:51:16.580 history it's
00:51:18.060 why everybody is
00:51:18.720 skinny in third
00:51:19.420 world countries
00:51:20.020 it's why every
00:51:20.660 contestant on
00:51:21.400 every survival
00:51:22.140 show ever has
00:51:23.560 lost weight and
00:51:25.760 these examples
00:51:26.360 shouldn't be
00:51:26.980 necessary if you
00:51:27.920 eat less and
00:51:28.860 exercise more you
00:51:30.240 will lose weight
00:51:31.300 you will you
00:51:32.960 will every person
00:51:34.620 who claims to be
00:51:35.120 an exception is
00:51:35.800 lying you are
00:51:36.900 lying you are a
00:51:38.440 liar all of you
00:51:39.500 and you know it
00:51:41.340 well you say that
00:51:43.100 Matt but no I
00:51:43.760 I exercise five
00:51:45.180 days a week and
00:51:45.780 stuck to a diet
00:51:46.500 originally didn't
00:51:47.480 lose a pound no
00:51:48.400 you didn't you're
00:51:48.900 lying you're just
00:51:49.640 a liar you exercise
00:51:51.960 five days a week
00:51:52.720 consistently and
00:51:53.740 didn't lose a pound
00:51:54.640 what the hell kind
00:51:56.220 of exercise are you
00:51:56.980 doing exactly I
00:51:59.240 mean I guess we
00:51:59.740 need to really maybe
00:52:01.100 we need to explain
00:52:01.900 what we mean by
00:52:02.620 exercise like are
00:52:06.460 you just driving to
00:52:07.540 the gym and walking
00:52:08.780 in and then turning
00:52:09.640 around and leaving
00:52:10.480 and calling that
00:52:11.240 exercise yeah if
00:52:12.080 that's what you're
00:52:12.360 doing you're not
00:52:12.680 gonna lose weight
00:52:13.140 if you're doing
00:52:15.400 any kind of like
00:52:16.640 actual exercise
00:52:18.180 five days a week
00:52:19.960 or even three
00:52:21.620 days a week even
00:52:22.340 two days a week
00:52:23.320 and you're sticking
00:52:25.040 to a diet yes you
00:52:26.240 will lose weight
00:52:26.740 a hundred percent
00:52:27.840 and I if you
00:52:30.880 claim otherwise I
00:52:31.680 know you're a liar
00:52:32.500 because here's how
00:52:34.140 I know because you
00:52:36.300 are a human being
00:52:37.440 existing in the
00:52:39.120 same reality as
00:52:40.200 me which means
00:52:41.220 that you are
00:52:42.380 subject to the
00:52:43.440 same laws of
00:52:44.360 nature that I
00:52:45.120 am and this is
00:52:46.380 again an
00:52:47.080 indisputable law
00:52:49.060 of nature eat
00:52:50.680 less exercise
00:52:51.960 more and you
00:52:53.020 lose weight you
00:52:54.380 must lose weight
00:52:55.240 you cannot not
00:52:56.920 lose weight I
00:52:58.640 don't care what's
00:52:59.020 going on with your
00:52:59.560 thyroid your
00:53:00.260 hormones your
00:53:01.020 whatever diet and
00:53:02.680 exercise will lead
00:53:04.060 to weight loss if
00:53:05.120 you say that you've
00:53:05.780 tried everything and
00:53:06.440 you haven't lost
00:53:06.880 weight I know that
00:53:07.760 you're not telling
00:53:08.200 the truth because
00:53:09.000 you haven't tried
00:53:09.820 everything because
00:53:10.920 you obviously
00:53:11.360 haven't tried the
00:53:12.120 one single and
00:53:13.040 simplest thing that
00:53:13.800 actually works which
00:53:14.520 is to eat less and
00:53:15.360 move more is it
00:53:17.760 hard yes okay if
00:53:21.180 we can move past the
00:53:22.260 like does this work
00:53:23.460 question which is so
00:53:24.920 insane it's like it's
00:53:26.120 it's a it's a the
00:53:27.860 idea that it doesn't
00:53:28.740 work is a fantasy on
00:53:30.420 the level with the
00:53:31.220 tooth fairy okay if
00:53:34.260 we could all move
00:53:34.840 past it if you think
00:53:36.860 I'm not being
00:53:37.100 patronizing I'm only
00:53:38.320 being patronizing
00:53:39.120 about this claim
00:53:40.200 that a person can
00:53:41.740 actually eat a
00:53:42.760 healthy diet and
00:53:43.480 exercise and not
00:53:44.520 lose a single pound
00:53:45.720 yes I'm being
00:53:46.980 patronizing about
00:53:47.700 that because it's
00:53:48.320 insane and you're
00:53:49.180 lying and you need
00:53:49.880 to stop it and
00:53:51.240 you're lying to
00:53:51.800 yourself most of
00:53:52.580 all but if we can
00:53:55.520 move past that if
00:53:56.320 we could all just
00:53:56.780 acknowledge that yes
00:53:58.060 of course that's how
00:53:58.840 it works for everyone
00:53:59.940 ever in history then
00:54:02.600 we can get to the
00:54:03.100 other conversation
00:54:03.700 about the the the
00:54:06.860 the difficulties of
00:54:09.260 actually putting not
00:54:10.180 not the complications
00:54:10.980 but the difficulties the
00:54:12.900 hardships rather maybe
00:54:14.220 is a better word of
00:54:15.320 actually putting that
00:54:16.320 into practice because
00:54:17.460 yes it is hard being
00:54:19.240 disciplined is hard
00:54:20.240 putting an effort into
00:54:21.340 anything is hard not
00:54:23.580 doing something that
00:54:24.680 you want to do like
00:54:27.020 say not gorging
00:54:28.000 yourself on french fries
00:54:29.200 or cheesecake or
00:54:30.040 whatever is hard and
00:54:32.000 it's especially hard
00:54:32.820 when you live in a
00:54:33.420 society that encourages
00:54:34.440 constant and unrestrained
00:54:36.180 consumption in every
00:54:38.080 conceivable form you
00:54:39.480 are encouraged and
00:54:40.500 enabled to be in a
00:54:41.420 constant state of
00:54:42.640 consumption it was a
00:54:44.900 whole lot easier for
00:54:45.720 someone a hundred years
00:54:46.460 ago to not overeat
00:54:47.380 which is also why there
00:54:48.900 weren't very many fat
00:54:49.660 people a hundred years
00:54:50.380 ago and that
00:54:51.440 demonstrates yet again
00:54:52.700 the link between
00:54:53.860 eating exercise and
00:54:55.240 the amount of lard on
00:54:56.380 your body so it is
00:55:00.520 hard yes but it's
00:55:04.420 and I I'll leave it
00:55:05.940 go so far as to
00:55:06.740 admit because it's
00:55:07.420 clearly true that
00:55:08.620 it's harder for some
00:55:09.660 people than it is for
00:55:11.220 others it it might be
00:55:14.340 a lot harder for you
00:55:15.460 than it is for me
00:55:16.400 everyone's metabolism
00:55:18.520 is different you might
00:55:19.540 lose weight at different
00:55:20.660 you will lose weight if
00:55:21.860 you do these things but
00:55:22.520 you might lose it at
00:55:23.160 different rates you
00:55:24.380 might you know uh
00:55:25.340 and all that kind of
00:55:26.080 stuff there are some
00:55:27.180 people who might just
00:55:27.800 be like naturally more
00:55:29.420 disciplined naturally it
00:55:30.880 might be easier for some
00:55:31.880 people to follow a
00:55:32.860 strict diet or um there
00:55:35.040 there are people who uh
00:55:36.980 work out a lot and they
00:55:38.180 and they really enjoy it
00:55:39.920 and so because they
00:55:41.040 enjoy it it's easier for
00:55:42.140 them to do there are
00:55:42.980 other people who might
00:55:44.200 get into a habit of
00:55:44.920 working out and they
00:55:46.120 might stick to it for a
00:55:47.580 year but never really
00:55:49.060 like it while there are
00:55:51.180 other people that go to
00:55:51.760 the gym and they just
00:55:52.400 love every second of it
00:55:53.280 and yes if you love it
00:55:54.440 it's easier to do than
00:55:55.280 if you don't so like all
00:55:56.200 of that is true
00:55:56.900 but it's still simple
00:56:00.400 and in life the simple
00:56:03.920 things are often the
00:56:05.620 hardest to be an all
00:56:07.620 around decent productive
00:56:09.080 honest hard-working healthy
00:56:10.840 person is hard and it's
00:56:13.000 also again extremely
00:56:14.780 simple we all know how to
00:56:17.600 be that sort of person we
00:56:19.400 all know what sort of
00:56:20.660 choices to make in any
00:56:22.240 given situation to get
00:56:23.500 ourselves closer to that
00:56:24.800 ideal if we don't make
00:56:28.100 those choices it's not
00:56:29.980 because we're confused by
00:56:32.220 complexities and nuances
00:56:33.720 it's because it's hard and
00:56:36.920 we don't want to do the
00:56:37.740 hard thing what you see
00:56:40.700 people doing on this
00:56:41.520 subject it's the same
00:56:42.500 thing that people do in
00:56:43.300 so many other facets of
00:56:44.260 life they try to
00:56:45.520 complicate what should be
00:56:48.340 very uncomplicated when it
00:56:51.080 comes to obesity if you can
00:56:52.480 convince yourself that it's
00:56:53.780 complicated then you have an
00:56:55.760 excuse to remain obese
00:56:56.840 sure you'd like to lose
00:56:59.100 weight but losing weight is
00:57:01.340 such a complex convoluted
00:57:03.200 tangled web you would lose
00:57:06.220 weight if only you could
00:57:06.940 figure out how if only it
00:57:09.240 were possible if only it were
00:57:11.960 that simple but it isn't you
00:57:15.060 say so what can you do but
00:57:16.600 eat another muffin and
00:57:18.440 continue on with your day
00:57:19.520 this is the rationalizing that
00:57:22.240 people do they hide behind
00:57:24.160 imagine complexities they
00:57:26.720 take refuge in the
00:57:28.020 intricacies and complications
00:57:29.520 that they've invented in their
00:57:31.260 heads it's a lie it's all a way
00:57:34.460 to avoid the simple thing and
00:57:38.800 avoiding the simple thing is now
00:57:40.120 the American way at least it has
00:57:41.540 become the American way which is
00:57:44.040 also how we've become one of the
00:57:45.600 fattest nations to ever exist on
00:57:47.760 the planet and that is why the
00:57:51.100 people pretending that weight
00:57:52.300 loss is complicated are all today
00:57:55.420 canceled that'll do it for the show
00:57:58.100 today thanks for watching thanks
00:57:58.960 for listening talk to you on
00:58:00.540 Monday have a great weekend
00:58:01.680 godspeed
00:58:02.740 you
00:58:03.340 you
