00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, Pride Month has started again, unfortunately.
00:00:03.120 This year's festivities kicked off with a gay pride message from a very popular YouTuber
00:00:07.160 who makes content for very young children.
00:00:09.460 Also, a politician in Canada uses the cringiest method possible to voice her support for a law
00:00:14.140 that will lower the voting age to 16.
00:00:16.840 Fauci admits that the social distancing regulations that he came up with had no scientific basis,
00:00:21.180 and a viral post on social media laments the lack of emotional intelligence, quote-unquote, in men.
00:00:25.520 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:30.000 We recently had some monumental news that nobody's talking about.
00:00:55.960 For the first time in our history, the interest we pay on the national debt
00:00:59.040 has surpassed every individual budget item except for Social Security.
00:01:02.700 The United States now spends more on interest than on national defense or Medicare,
00:01:07.160 and the situation is only getting worse as big government continues to spend like drunken sailors.
00:01:12.160 That's why investors, central banks, and concerned savers are turning to gold,
00:01:15.740 something not tied to the inflated U.S. debt.
00:01:18.060 You can, too, with the help of Birch Gold.
00:01:19.900 Birch Gold understands that navigating financial decisions can be scary.
00:01:23.040 That's why their dedicated in-house IRA department is there to guide you every step of the way.
00:01:27.180 Birch Gold is committed to addressing your questions and concerns properly.
00:01:30.740 Their team is always ready to provide answers and clarity,
00:01:32.820 whether it's about fees, taxes, and rollovers, or the timing of the process.
00:01:35.940 They're here to ensure that you feel valued and well-informed.
00:01:38.900 Text Walsh to 989898 to talk to one of Birch Gold's experts and claim your free info kit on gold.
00:01:44.140 You'll learn how to convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in gold.
00:01:48.580 The best part is it doesn't cost you a penny out of pocket.
00:01:51.140 Just text Walsh to 989898.
00:01:53.200 That's Walsh to 989898.
00:01:55.760 So June is upon us, which means that the government, media, political activists,
00:02:00.060 and major corporations have all collectively decided once again to spend an entire month
00:02:03.480 celebrating one of the seven deadly sins.
00:02:05.920 Fathers, mothers, veterans, fallen soldiers all receive just one day on the calendar each,
00:02:11.940 but people who are proud of their sexual activities are awarded four weeks of nonstop attention
00:02:17.800 on top of all the other various days and weeks that they've earmarked for themselves.
00:02:21.160 And the point of this all-encompassing production is to browbeat you into submission,
00:02:25.840 to force you to join the celebration, whether you want to or not.
00:02:29.780 Now, as anyone who was alive a few decades ago can attest, our country wasn't always like this.
00:02:35.180 Every aspect of these festivities is artificial, which is why every year the facade becomes a little
00:02:41.460 more obvious, even to the most oblivious among us.
00:02:44.820 It's a bit like that old story from the Soviet Union where nobody wanted to be the first person
00:02:48.740 to stop clapping for Stalin. So everybody just clapped indefinitely. And then inevitably,
00:02:53.980 someone is the first person to stop, and they end up getting in a lot of trouble. In that case,
00:02:58.260 going to the gulag for like 10 years or whatever it was. And something like that happened over the
00:03:03.140 weekend to the luxury carmaker BMW. Now, this year, as they've done every year in recent memory,
00:03:08.640 BMW dutifully changed its official profile picture on social media to reflect the gay-friendly colors.
00:03:14.200 But at the same time, BMW very conspicuously didn't change its profile picture in Middle
00:03:19.400 Eastern countries at all. Unfortunately for BMW, someone on the internet noticed this discrepancy
00:03:24.220 and asked BMW the following question, quote, how come you don't proudly display your logos and
00:03:29.160 pride colors on your Middle East post? And then for reasons that are not clear at all,
00:03:34.040 somebody at BMW decided to respond to that question. They wrote, quote, this is an established
00:03:39.500 practice at the BMW group, which also takes into consideration market-specific legal regulations
00:03:44.320 and country-specific cultural aspects. So that's the official explanation from BMW for why the pride
00:03:51.500 colors are for Western countries and not the Arab countries. We're just pandering is essentially what
00:03:57.780 they're saying. They're admitting that this isn't about activism or gay rights or whatever.
00:04:02.520 They're just adjusting their messaging for what they think people want to hear so they can make
00:04:07.320 money. Not exactly a major revelation here, but this kind of honesty from a major corporation is
00:04:13.080 unusual. And if you're the optimistic type, you might take it as a sign that things might be returning
00:04:18.060 to normal somewhat at some point in the near future. There are certainly other indications that corporate
00:04:25.300 America is finally retreating to some extent from this insanity. For example, last year, Microsoft's
00:04:31.900 Xbox brand removed their pride colors from their social media accounts for just four days in the
00:04:37.520 pride month. And this year, at least so far, they haven't made any change to the branding for pride
00:04:41.880 month whatsoever. They've also preemptively locked replies on Twitter and other platforms on some of
00:04:47.300 their pride month messaging. But for every positive sign like that, there are indications that we are,
00:04:53.200 in fact, backsliding further into the abyss. And for example, one of the social media accounts of the
00:04:58.180 Navy SEALs posted this image celebrating pride month. Here it is. You can see it. This is the
00:05:05.380 Navy Special Warfare Command flying the LGBTQ colors and lecturing us about equality and pride.
00:05:13.960 You won't find a better illustration for why the Navy is experiencing a massive recruitment shortfall
00:05:18.660 than this. It should go without saying, but the kind of people who appreciate these flags and
00:05:24.300 make their sexuality into their identity are generally not the kind of people who want to,
00:05:31.180 you know, endure grueling conditions and potentially sacrifice their lives behind enemy lines for
00:05:36.000 America. Like we want people in these positions who are focused on the mission and on the defense of
00:05:42.860 their country. That should be obvious to the Navy SEALs, but apparently it's not. And of course, that's not
00:05:48.200 even getting into the larger issue, which is that the government should not be participating in
00:05:52.740 activism. Period. And there's a lot of reasons for that. One of them is that in many cases,
00:05:59.540 it creates an obvious conflict of interest. Consider the fact that on Sunday, the FBI was
00:06:05.200 sashaying through the gay pride parade in West Hollywood. There were several FBI employees who were
00:06:10.100 wearing their FBI issued clothing, apparently followed by FBI vehicles in the parade. Watch.
00:06:22.740 Okay. There you go. Now this is the same FBI that under Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray has
00:06:31.700 launched investigations into parents who questioned the indoctrination of children at school board
00:06:36.500 meetings. You may remember that. Parents didn't like their kids reading books that vividly described
00:06:42.140 various gay encounters. So the school board groups complained and the FBI started looking into the
00:06:48.160 whole situation. And now that same FBI is marching at a parade that's explicitly a celebration of that
00:06:55.180 lifestyle. It was also a celebration of abortion too, which is why Planned Parenthood participated in
00:07:00.280 that pride parade. And of course, that's another conflict of interest because the FBI notoriously
00:07:04.600 doesn't seem to care very much about attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers, but they'll show up in
00:07:09.340 pre-dawn raids to Holloway pro-life protesters who dare to protest at abortion clinics. Now this parade in
00:07:16.120 West Hollywood, by the way, is traditionally one of the most disturbing and hyper-sexualized pride
00:07:21.020 parades that takes place every year. And this year was no different. I went through some of the footage
00:07:25.700 from the parade yesterday, but most of it's too graphic to even show you without blurring it.
00:07:31.000 But here's what, just to give you a idea, here's what I can show you. Watch.
00:07:36.600 A lot of boys wearing the midriff, but you don't see that much, uh, that style here.
00:07:43.180 I see a lot of skin today.
00:07:45.000 Yeah, there is a lot of skin. I think skin is very much on trend and in.
00:07:50.080 Okay.
00:07:50.700 I want to do a shout out really fast.
00:07:53.420 You're looking at Mr. Universe organization.
00:07:55.500 That's right.
00:07:56.240 Mr. Universe organization.
00:07:58.500 Yes.
00:07:58.680 Oh, and there we go.
00:08:01.420 No warning.
00:08:02.700 Just letting you know that this is float number 12, Mr. Rolling in with an important message.
00:08:08.500 It is Mr. Get Your Prep Online for free with Mr. They offer free online prep and STI testing
00:08:16.380 and no doctor's office, no needles, no paperwork, and free delivery.
00:08:21.460 Look, it's the nuns.
00:08:23.000 Oh, not the perpetual nuns.
00:08:25.200 Hello.
00:08:25.600 Oh, oh, no, no, no, no.
00:08:29.040 It's the hospital, the sisters of perpetual nuns.
00:08:31.140 Oh, and.
00:08:32.200 What has been your favorite part of this event so far?
00:08:35.280 I loved going out there and seeing all the kids, um, just living and being there with
00:08:40.820 their parents of all shapes and sizes and just seeing them having so much fun and giving
00:08:45.680 them fans and throwing candy and everything like that.
00:08:49.380 Okay.
00:08:49.820 So, uh, to do, uh, you know, cut around quite a bit, do some blurring, um, because with these
00:08:55.980 sorts of things, there's only so much we can actually show you, but it's a disturbing clip
00:08:59.500 in part because the local news station is broadcasting all of it enthusiastically as
00:09:03.040 if it's normal.
00:09:04.160 There's strippers on stripper poles.
00:09:05.760 There's men dressed as firefighters in their underwear.
00:09:07.980 There's an Abbey float with a cross with even more guys in their underwear.
00:09:11.840 There's nuns in drag.
00:09:13.240 There's men in BDSM gear.
00:09:15.820 There's a bunch of children there.
00:09:16.740 Some of them are even participating as, as you saw.
00:09:19.820 In fact, the commentators are celebrating the fact that there are so many kids in attendance
00:09:23.160 and there's so much skin being displayed as well.
00:09:26.460 This kind of thing, as grotesque as it is, wasn't just happening in West Hollywood.
00:09:30.280 At the supposedly family-friendly Dallas pride event this weekend, as Sarah Gonzalez and
00:09:34.220 Alex Stein reported, announcers made, uh, graphic jokes about genitals with children in
00:09:39.600 attendance.
00:09:40.580 There was also sexually explicit merchandise, which I can't even describe on air.
00:09:44.500 And, uh, a state representative was filmed bringing children to the event.
00:09:49.380 Watch.
00:09:50.920 Where are my bisexuals?
00:09:55.120 Bisexuals.
00:09:55.820 You're not really bisexual.
00:09:57.300 They're just sluts.
00:09:59.240 Oh, Cox Automotive.
00:10:01.460 Cox.
00:10:02.180 Well, you're in good company, except for the ladies who are a little grossed out by that.
00:10:07.460 You're blessed by Jesus.
00:10:16.940 Yeah, you need to stop taking kids to gay events.
00:10:19.880 Stop taking kids to gay events, you weirdo.
00:10:23.940 Are you really a state rep?
00:10:25.460 I am, I am.
00:10:26.400 Why don't you do something about the border?
00:10:27.860 What about the fentanyl crisis?
00:10:29.140 The border, oh my gosh.
00:10:30.080 We need to make the border more flexible.
00:10:33.040 We need more trade and commerce coming across the border.
00:10:36.300 What about all the drug cartels?
00:10:37.280 All the drug cartels.
00:10:38.580 Yes, we have to stop consumption over here in the United States.
00:10:41.340 That's a big market.
00:10:41.960 Yeah, I know.
00:10:41.980 Well, why don't you guys shut?
00:10:44.360 So, um, this is what pride means.
00:10:46.620 It's what every major power center in this country, from the FBI to the Navy SEALs to the
00:10:50.520 media, is supporting.
00:10:51.820 Even the VA hospital in Orlando is celebrating this.
00:10:55.040 Take a look at this footage here.
00:10:56.100 So, it's hard to see in the clip, but there's at least three pride-themed items in the lobby
00:11:03.200 at the hospital, including the flag.
00:11:06.660 It's also a little sign that tells patients to inform the receptionist of their pronouns.
00:11:11.280 Again, you talk about a recruitment crisis in the military, this isn't helping.
00:11:14.880 And it's shameful, obviously.
00:11:16.960 So, so is this event in Philadelphia, which just put on the largest drag queen story hour
00:11:21.640 for kids ever, at least according to Guinness records.
00:11:25.160 They're very proud of that.
00:11:26.320 Watch.
00:11:28.660 You had 263.
00:11:38.200 Drag story time is, of course, a literacy program.
00:11:41.660 Literacy is the foundation for success through life.
00:11:45.060 So, that's why we said never happened before.
00:11:47.660 Something felt different.
00:11:48.960 My mom told us all, we should go to bed early.
00:11:53.180 Get up with a free cran juice.
00:11:58.800 I was like, play.
00:12:01.060 Give them all a big round of applause.
00:12:02.800 So, as Meg Brock pointed out in response to this clip, the good news is that in a city of almost 1.6 million, only 263 people showed up.
00:12:16.540 That was the world record.
00:12:17.560 263 people at a drag event intended to indoctrinate children in a city of 1.6 million.
00:12:23.580 Now, that's 263 too many, of course.
00:12:26.080 But it does underscore the fact that this is not a mainstream ideology, at least not among normal people in public.
00:12:34.100 It is among our institutions.
00:12:36.480 But, in fact, beyond that, it's not even mainstream on the left at this point.
00:12:40.540 That's why not everything went according to the plan at the Philly Pride this year.
00:12:44.720 At one point, for example, pro-Gaza protesters ran into Pride Month protesters.
00:12:50.920 Now, if nothing else, The Clash provided the first moment of unintentional comedy so far in Pride Month.
00:12:57.040 And we're only, you know, a day or two into it.
00:12:58.720 Probably be seeing a lot more of this in the months to come.
00:13:01.360 Watch.
00:13:01.680 Watch.
00:13:20.000 Okay, so there's some aggressive drumming going on there.
00:13:45.080 And it's hard to tell who's on whose side on this one.
00:13:47.920 And so that's not exactly clear.
00:13:51.560 But this is, you know, a genre that will never get old.
00:13:54.580 It's watching left-wing intersectionality backfire.
00:13:57.920 And in this case, it literally backfired in an intersection, which is kind of nice.
00:14:02.780 You can pretty much guarantee that all of these Pride protesters are free Palestine people themselves.
00:14:08.620 There were free Palestine chants at the WeHo parade, for example.
00:14:12.160 But the real free Palestine people, the ones who actually understand what they're supporting,
00:14:15.560 don't take too kindly to Pride parades.
00:14:18.940 It's amazing to watch, like a defund-the-police congressman having to call the cops after he gets smacked by the reality of what he supports.
00:14:26.380 As the left continues to import more of the Arab world, they're going to have to get used to this sort of thing.
00:14:31.220 This is new, but it's not going away.
00:14:34.840 At the same time, for every indication that Pride Month is different this year, there was another reminder that not much has changed.
00:14:40.800 For example, Walmart just aired this Pride Month advertisement as if the whole Target boycott didn't happen last year.
00:14:47.820 They decided to charge ahead with this.
00:14:49.720 They don't appear to care that Target lost billions of dollars in market cap.
00:14:53.780 Watch.
00:14:54.100 Queer people have magic that we can share.
00:14:59.560 We're lucky enough to be in the Walmart Pride collection this year.
00:15:02.800 Total dream come true.
00:15:04.080 It's not every day that I see my products in a Walmart.
00:15:07.340 It's important to me to share my art.
00:15:10.260 No one can make the art that you make.
00:15:12.100 No one can say the things the way you say them.
00:15:14.500 There's a lot of opportunity to uplift with a bit of playfulness and imperfection.
00:15:19.080 The world needs to hear what you have to say and your story.
00:15:23.100 Queer people have magic, says Walmart.
00:15:28.240 As if you needed any more proof that LGBT activism is a secular religion, that's what you get there.
00:15:35.300 We're being literally told now that they have magical powers.
00:15:38.800 And as I discussed on Twitter recently, some of those popular children's content creators,
00:15:43.320 people whose videos are viewed by tens of millions of children, very young children all over the world,
00:15:49.100 are the biggest evangelists for this.
00:15:51.380 So take Rachel Accurso, for example, known by her stage name Miss Rachel.
00:15:56.520 She has more than 10 million subscribers on YouTube, where she's best known for her series Songs for Littles.
00:16:02.340 And these are videos that get hundreds of, tens of millions, sometimes hundreds of millions of views.
00:16:07.300 And for the most part, the videos themselves are mostly age-appropriate stuff, like nursery rhymes,
00:16:13.500 even if they are incredibly annoying.
00:16:15.680 But over the past year or so, Miss Rachel has started explicitly pushing LGBT indoctrination on her audience.
00:16:21.880 It wasn't hard to see this coming.
00:16:23.080 After all, Miss Rachel's co-host, Jules, identifies as a, quote,
00:16:25.980 white, non-binary, trans-mask human, and claims that, as a two-year-old,
00:16:32.040 she realized something's not right, quote-unquote, with her body.
00:16:35.540 And at 12, a teacher first exposed her to gender ideology.
00:16:39.660 And then the rest is history for her.
00:16:41.560 But early last year, things reportedly got more direct.
00:16:44.260 According to the Post Millennial, Miss Rachel personally invited Dylan Mulvaney on her program to sing a song for children.
00:16:50.060 And this is what Miss Rachel posted below one of Mulvaney's videos.
00:16:54.020 It said, quote,
00:16:55.200 Sometime when you're in NYC, you should be on our show, Song for Littles.
00:16:59.440 We love you and you're singing.
00:17:02.060 Now, if that wasn't bad enough, and if it wasn't clear enough that this woman hates the conservative parents
00:17:06.700 who account for a large portion of her audience,
00:17:09.740 Miss Rachel doubled down in a video celebrating Pride Month.
00:17:13.960 Here it is.
00:17:15.180 Happy Pride to all of our wonderful families and friends.
00:17:20.280 This month and every month, I celebrate you.
00:17:23.100 I'm so glad you're here.
00:17:25.220 I'm so glad you're exactly who you are.
00:17:28.080 To those who are going to comment they can't watch the show anymore because of the support,
00:17:32.160 no worries and much love your way.
00:17:34.460 God bless.
00:17:35.700 I am not chasing fame or views.
00:17:38.380 I'm standing strong in love.
00:17:41.000 So, she's very loving, she says.
00:17:44.220 Miss Rachel's approach is the loving one.
00:17:46.440 If you don't want your kids watching Dylan Mulvaney, and if you don't take your kids to family-friendly Pride events,
00:17:53.820 then you're a hateful person.
00:17:56.080 You know, the problem is with you.
00:17:57.400 You're a bigot, etc.
00:17:58.260 Of course, the real point here isn't to be loving.
00:18:03.140 As Jules has said, the point is to, quote,
00:18:05.360 encourage and nurture a sense of curiosity in kids,
00:18:08.560 and to teach them that there are infinite, quote-unquote, ways to exist in the world,
00:18:12.300 and, quote, one isn't better than another.
00:18:15.020 The point, in other words, is to indoctrinate more kids with lies and falsehoods.
00:18:19.820 And this is a falsehood, of course.
00:18:21.420 There are not actually infinite ways to exist.
00:18:25.040 When it comes to our sex, there are actually only two ways, male and female.
00:18:28.400 So, it's a very finite system.
00:18:31.040 And when it comes to the lifestyles and the choices that people make,
00:18:34.940 some indeed are better than others.
00:18:37.500 So, this message might be delivered with a smile,
00:18:40.100 but that doesn't make it any better or any less wrong, of course.
00:18:43.980 In any case, the indoctrination continued this weekend at the Queer Fam Jam in Chicago.
00:18:48.400 This event was sponsored by Lululemon, and Jules, the Miss Rachel co-host,
00:18:53.660 was a headline performer at the event.
00:18:55.640 Watch.
00:18:56.940 Well, a Pride Fest launched last year in Chicago, returned today,
00:19:00.100 this time at Millennium Park.
00:19:02.220 Hundreds of families from the LGBTQ plus community enjoying Queer Fam Pride Jam.
00:19:08.780 WGN's Sean Lewis has our report.
00:19:10.380 With the sun overhead and June underway,
00:19:16.540 the Queer Fam Pride Jam kicked off in a new location, Millennium Park.
00:19:25.100 It just makes me very proud to be a Chicagoan today.
00:19:27.560 And I think it's important that he sees that there's all kinds of people in this world
00:19:31.020 and all kinds of love in this world,
00:19:32.340 and not to be judgmental about it and just be open-minded and amazing.
00:19:36.180 You can't be what you can't see.
00:19:37.400 So, when you walk in and you're not one family, but you're one of many,
00:19:42.060 it's just the affirmation that that provides
00:19:44.380 and the hope to keep going and living in your truth,
00:19:47.880 it's just irreplaceable.
00:19:50.600 You can't be what you can't see, we're told.
00:19:54.160 And that really kind of sums it up.
00:19:55.200 So, these activists understand that their agenda must be foisted.
00:19:59.960 It must be imposed.
00:20:01.600 It has to be shown to people, particularly children.
00:20:04.640 Kids will not come up with any of this stuff on their own.
00:20:08.200 We knew the local news media wouldn't cover the whole story,
00:20:10.700 so the Daily Wire's field reporter, Spencer Lindquist,
00:20:13.180 was at the event in Chicago.
00:20:14.580 And here's some of the footage that he recorded.
00:20:17.000 Watch.
00:20:19.160 What'd you think about that?
00:20:20.760 Now you're not happy.
00:20:22.220 Here you go.
00:20:27.980 Here you go.
00:20:29.720 Two more ladies.
00:20:31.660 Two more.
00:20:33.760 Good.
00:20:34.560 Go, go.
00:20:35.480 Hold it.
00:20:38.120 Let's go, let's go.
00:20:39.820 I got you.
00:20:40.420 Okay, so lots of very young children there.
00:20:59.520 And the children were subjected to a grown man
00:21:01.320 in a skin-tight leopard print onesie with heels,
00:21:04.740 shaking his body around while collecting a dollar bill
00:21:07.020 from a small child.
00:21:07.900 The children were then trained in the gay vogue dance style
00:21:11.880 by a grown man learning to strut and shimmy, quote-unquote.
00:21:15.980 This is creepy, obviously, which is probably why the local news
00:21:18.540 didn't cover exactly what took place.
00:21:20.620 But it's a good illustration of the state of Pride Month
00:21:23.460 in the year 2024.
00:21:24.900 It's more explicitly targeted towards kids than ever before.
00:21:28.660 But there's also a sense of embarrassment about it.
00:21:32.920 If the Daily Wire hadn't been there,
00:21:34.320 it seems likely that nobody would have ever aired footage like that.
00:21:38.320 So they want to have these events.
00:21:39.860 They don't really want anyone.
00:21:40.680 They don't want anyone outside of the event
00:21:42.700 to see what's going on there.
00:21:45.260 What this means is that if you have kids,
00:21:47.880 it's never been more important to pay attention
00:21:49.960 to what they're watching, what events they're attending.
00:21:53.660 You can't just put on a kid-friendly YouTube show
00:21:56.760 and expect that everything's going to be fine.
00:21:58.480 It also means that everyone, whether they have kids or not,
00:22:03.200 needs to reject this insanity
00:22:05.100 because it appears the pushback so far
00:22:07.440 is having at least some effect.
00:22:09.980 And the stakes couldn't be more clear.
00:22:12.760 Only a disturbed, doomed culture celebrates pride.
00:22:17.140 That's biblical wisdom that happens to be common sense.
00:22:20.980 And with every depraved, supposedly family-friendly event
00:22:23.820 that's exposed this month,
00:22:26.140 hopefully many more people finally will wake up to that fact.
00:22:31.240 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:23:42.040 So let's start with some cringe.
00:23:44.380 We're gonna dive right into the deep end
00:23:45.740 with this pure grade A cringe here.
00:23:48.160 This is the military grade stuff.
00:23:51.020 Okay, this is something.
00:23:54.400 Up in Canada, which of course
00:23:55.980 is the cringiest country on earth,
00:23:57.360 next to Australia.
00:23:59.520 They're working on a bill
00:24:00.760 to lower the voting age to 16.
00:24:03.840 And that's not the cringy part.
00:24:04.820 Well, it is cringy, but it gets worse.
00:24:07.640 Senator Bernadette Clement
00:24:09.260 is a supporter of that bill
00:24:12.040 and she wanted to express her support for it.
00:24:15.540 And she decided to express her support
00:24:17.920 this way.
00:24:20.040 Watch.
00:24:20.400 Now bear with me
00:24:22.480 as I go into my last paragraph here
00:24:24.340 because I had this part translated
00:24:26.560 into Gen Z for us.
00:24:30.880 Honourable fam,
00:24:32.600 waiting to vote until 18
00:24:34.020 is a big yikes and mad shuggy.
00:24:37.060 But S201 hits different.
00:24:39.720 Today's youth slays and stays bussing.
00:24:42.080 That's why we gotta give them a chance
00:24:43.460 to clap back.
00:24:44.880 If not, how will we be able to say
00:24:46.760 that they ate that up?
00:24:47.800 No cap, this bill slaps
00:24:49.820 and is electoral glow up.
00:24:52.000 I am its number one stan for real.
00:24:55.080 Merci, thank you, Niawa.
00:25:00.540 My God.
00:25:01.820 God help us.
00:25:02.860 God help us all.
00:25:05.020 You know, up until now,
00:25:06.460 the most out of touch
00:25:07.560 and embarrassing attempt
00:25:09.780 to appeal to the youth
00:25:10.980 I'd ever seen in my life
00:25:13.380 was probably when I went
00:25:14.960 to a Christian youth camp as a kid.
00:25:17.800 Which is where a lot of
00:25:19.020 cringy, embarrassing attempts
00:25:21.620 to appeal to the youth occur.
00:25:23.180 But anyway,
00:25:24.560 went to one when I was a kid
00:25:25.740 and there was a priest
00:25:27.080 who broke into a freestyle rap
00:25:29.520 on stage.
00:25:31.780 Freestyle rap about how we should,
00:25:33.420 I don't know.
00:25:34.340 I can't remember what the subject was.
00:25:37.080 About how Jesus is awesome
00:25:38.420 or something along those lines.
00:25:39.680 So, up until this moment,
00:25:43.560 that was the pinnacle
00:25:45.240 of this particular brand of cringe
00:25:47.320 that I'd ever witnessed.
00:25:48.800 But I think this beats it.
00:25:49.780 I think that this comes out on top.
00:25:51.960 And more importantly, of course,
00:25:54.300 letting 16-year-olds vote
00:25:55.840 is an insane idea.
00:25:58.500 I mean, it's Canada.
00:25:59.240 So, what difference does it make
00:26:01.580 at this point?
00:26:02.120 You could say.
00:26:03.060 If Canada wants to speed up
00:26:04.420 its own march
00:26:05.400 into its own self-annihilation,
00:26:08.140 then that's Canada's choice.
00:26:10.240 I have no dog in the fight, really.
00:26:12.460 But it's worth addressing
00:26:13.700 because lowering the voting age
00:26:15.040 is an idea that has
00:26:16.040 a fair amount of support
00:26:17.060 in this country also.
00:26:18.820 In fact, you know,
00:26:19.880 unless there's some kind of
00:26:21.200 sudden, miraculous restoration
00:26:23.020 of basic common sense
00:26:24.400 in this country,
00:26:25.120 I suspect that the voting age
00:26:26.880 in the U.S. will be lowered
00:26:29.100 at some point
00:26:31.480 in the next probably 10 years.
00:26:33.340 And what makes this inevitable
00:26:34.620 is that politicians,
00:26:35.760 especially Democrat politicians,
00:26:37.600 have a vested interest
00:26:39.780 in lowering the voting age.
00:26:43.000 That's why anything
00:26:43.660 that actually happens,
00:26:44.880 anything they really get done,
00:26:46.080 it only gets done
00:26:46.820 because it serves their purposes,
00:26:49.200 obviously, and this would.
00:26:53.040 And it helps them
00:26:53.820 because 16-year-olds
00:26:55.180 are naive and ignorant
00:26:57.660 and that's what politicians love.
00:27:01.260 Politicians love naive
00:27:02.360 and ignorant voters
00:27:03.460 because they're easier
00:27:05.400 to manipulate.
00:27:07.100 Now, of course,
00:27:07.460 we already have millions
00:27:08.740 of naive and ignorant
00:27:09.780 adult voters
00:27:10.620 who collectively are
00:27:12.740 ushering us
00:27:14.040 into our national ruination.
00:27:16.320 So that's already happening,
00:27:17.820 but there can never be enough.
00:27:19.000 From the perspective
00:27:19.740 of our political leaders,
00:27:21.580 you can never get enough
00:27:22.600 of those kinds of voters.
00:27:24.920 And that's the only reason
00:27:27.000 why anybody in a position of power
00:27:28.480 would want to lower
00:27:29.080 the voting age.
00:27:30.040 It is specifically
00:27:31.120 so that they can increase
00:27:32.960 the number of ignorant,
00:27:35.160 intellectually malleable voters.
00:27:39.060 And really lowering
00:27:42.300 the voting age,
00:27:42.960 although it's an insane thing to do,
00:27:45.820 it's just a logical extension
00:27:47.960 of our current approach
00:27:49.380 to voting anyway.
00:27:51.180 Because most people
00:27:52.300 already believe
00:27:53.180 that voting is a universal
00:27:54.580 human right,
00:27:55.960 which it isn't,
00:27:57.460 something that everybody
00:27:59.120 should participate in,
00:28:00.740 which they shouldn't,
00:28:02.400 and that it doesn't matter
00:28:04.060 if somebody is clueless,
00:28:05.320 it doesn't matter
00:28:05.780 if they have no skin in the game,
00:28:07.080 it doesn't matter
00:28:07.440 if they're not contributing
00:28:08.380 members of society,
00:28:09.400 they should all still vote.
00:28:11.060 That is the popular perception.
00:28:14.280 And it's completely wrong.
00:28:15.200 Now, this idea that
00:28:17.600 the most important thing
00:28:19.200 is just for lots of people
00:28:21.200 to be voting.
00:28:22.180 That's the prevailing attitude.
00:28:24.840 Now, granted,
00:28:27.040 nobody actually believes that.
00:28:31.260 That's not a view
00:28:32.180 that anyone actually holds.
00:28:35.220 Because when it comes down to it,
00:28:37.120 even the people that say,
00:28:39.900 well, it's a universal right
00:28:40.920 whenever to vote.
00:28:41.960 Well, no, they want more
00:28:43.360 of their own people to vote.
00:28:45.200 Of course.
00:28:48.120 So nobody really believes that,
00:28:49.760 but that's what people
00:28:50.740 pretend to believe.
00:28:52.480 And based on that attitude,
00:28:53.920 sure, why not have
00:28:54.680 16-year-olds vote?
00:28:56.120 Why not have 12-year-olds vote?
00:28:58.660 Why not have babies
00:28:59.960 register to vote
00:29:00.960 at the same time
00:29:02.200 that their birth certificates
00:29:03.120 are issued?
00:29:03.720 I mean, why not?
00:29:05.660 I can think of a million reasons
00:29:07.140 why not,
00:29:07.780 but we already reject
00:29:08.940 all of those reasons.
00:29:09.980 because in reality,
00:29:15.140 as I've been shouting
00:29:16.100 to no avail
00:29:17.440 for years now,
00:29:19.700 I've been shouting
00:29:20.500 from the rooftops
00:29:21.740 quite uselessly, really,
00:29:27.180 but still,
00:29:29.120 it bears repeating anyway
00:29:31.560 that the problem with voting
00:29:34.620 is that too many people do it.
00:29:36.220 That is,
00:29:36.900 that's our actual problem.
00:29:37.860 It's not,
00:29:38.220 it's not a lack of participation.
00:29:40.040 It's not a lack of,
00:29:41.480 you know,
00:29:42.480 when voter turnout
00:29:44.160 is lower,
00:29:45.280 that's not a problem
00:29:46.300 that we should be worried about.
00:29:49.820 Okay?
00:29:50.380 If voting,
00:29:50.960 if voter turnout
00:29:51.620 in a particular election
00:29:52.660 is 10%,
00:29:53.720 is down 10%
00:29:54.940 from the election cycle before,
00:29:57.600 we shouldn't say,
00:29:58.520 oh no,
00:29:58.700 it's down 10%.
00:29:59.700 We should say,
00:30:00.260 okay,
00:30:00.500 it's down 10%.
00:30:01.460 It's still like 80% higher
00:30:04.360 than it should be.
00:30:05.540 Like,
00:30:05.720 there's still,
00:30:06.220 we need to cut off
00:30:07.060 another 80%.
00:30:07.760 Probably,
00:30:08.380 probably of the people
00:30:10.440 who vote,
00:30:10.860 maybe like 10% of them
00:30:12.120 should be.
00:30:13.360 Maybe 10% are qualified
00:30:15.100 to be voting.
00:30:17.920 If we actually cared
00:30:19.200 about the future
00:30:19.800 of our country,
00:30:20.380 then this is the kind
00:30:21.360 of conversation
00:30:21.880 we'd be having,
00:30:22.620 but we just,
00:30:23.160 we can't.
00:30:24.920 And,
00:30:25.280 the problem is that,
00:30:27.580 again,
00:30:27.940 our elected representatives,
00:30:31.360 I mean,
00:30:31.680 they have no interest in this.
00:30:33.520 They're not going to ever talk
00:30:34.820 about actually excluding people
00:30:37.300 from voting
00:30:38.500 because it's,
00:30:39.300 you know,
00:30:39.540 politically suicidal thing to say.
00:30:41.880 But also because,
00:30:42.720 again,
00:30:42.860 it cuts against their own interests.
00:30:45.620 Why would they want
00:30:46.620 to do anything
00:30:47.440 that ensures
00:30:48.580 a more invested,
00:30:50.700 more knowledgeable voting base?
00:30:52.340 They don't want that.
00:30:53.960 That's the worst thing
00:30:54.940 for these people.
00:30:57.280 And the,
00:30:57.820 and the dumber
00:30:58.420 our elected representatives get,
00:30:59.860 the more that that's the case.
00:31:01.940 Like,
00:31:02.340 the dumber they get,
00:31:03.380 the dumber they need
00:31:04.060 the voters to be.
00:31:09.500 Yeah,
00:31:09.920 when we played that,
00:31:10.780 that,
00:31:11.700 that Jerry Springer,
00:31:13.020 you know,
00:31:13.800 Waffle House showdown
00:31:15.200 that happened
00:31:15.820 at a congressional hearing
00:31:17.340 a couple weeks ago
00:31:18.140 with Jasmine Crockett
00:31:19.980 and Marjorie Taylor Greene
00:31:21.560 and AOC,
00:31:23.220 and the whole thing
00:31:24.020 just completely embarrassing
00:31:25.040 and humiliating
00:31:25.780 for everybody involved
00:31:26.720 but also for the country.
00:31:28.540 But that's the kind of thing
00:31:29.920 that
00:31:30.260 if,
00:31:32.460 if you had only
00:31:33.620 knowledgeable,
00:31:35.080 fully invested,
00:31:36.460 contributing members
00:31:37.180 of society voting,
00:31:38.580 that would never happen
00:31:39.700 because none of those people
00:31:40.860 would be in office.
00:31:41.740 They would,
00:31:42.160 they,
00:31:42.500 it wouldn't be possible
00:31:43.460 for them to get elected.
00:31:47.500 But they are
00:31:48.500 because
00:31:48.920 this is the direction
00:31:50.620 we're going instead.
00:31:51.320 So I guess
00:31:53.600 this is a way
00:31:53.940 of saying like,
00:31:54.700 okay,
00:31:55.240 yeah,
00:31:55.560 it's crazy
00:31:56.080 to allow 16-year-olds
00:31:57.020 to vote
00:31:57.360 but at this point,
00:31:59.020 but whatever,
00:31:59.880 it's just,
00:32:00.640 it doesn't,
00:32:01.040 it doesn't even matter.
00:32:02.240 It honestly
00:32:02.740 just doesn't even matter.
00:32:06.060 I suspect
00:32:06.780 we'll eventually
00:32:07.480 get to a point
00:32:08.400 where even
00:32:09.260 if our elected
00:32:09.780 representatives
00:32:10.280 don't want to have
00:32:10.860 the conversation,
00:32:11.660 at least there will be
00:32:12.340 a critical mass
00:32:13.300 of,
00:32:14.620 of normal
00:32:15.600 Americans
00:32:16.680 who are ready
00:32:17.300 to talk about this,
00:32:18.880 to ready to actually
00:32:19.780 fundamentally question
00:32:21.340 what so many
00:32:23.120 accept as like
00:32:23.980 a religious dogma
00:32:25.680 that there is
00:32:27.300 this universal
00:32:28.140 right to vote
00:32:28.820 and everyone
00:32:29.180 should be able
00:32:29.640 to do it.
00:32:29.920 It's just completely
00:32:30.680 false.
00:32:31.420 It was never
00:32:32.180 how our country
00:32:32.760 was set up.
00:32:33.640 You cannot have
00:32:34.460 a functioning country
00:32:35.680 that works that way.
00:32:36.940 You just can't.
00:32:39.640 No,
00:32:40.160 not everyone
00:32:41.040 should have a say
00:32:41.980 in the direction
00:32:43.520 of the country.
00:32:44.500 No.
00:32:45.520 Why should everyone?
00:32:46.460 Just because you exist?
00:32:47.880 Just because you exist?
00:32:49.180 You should have a say.
00:32:50.480 Why?
00:32:52.000 If you're a moron
00:32:53.160 and you have no clue
00:32:54.160 what's happening
00:32:54.720 in your own country,
00:32:56.160 if I were to ask you
00:32:58.080 the branches of government
00:32:58.980 and you couldn't even
00:32:59.480 tell me,
00:33:00.800 if you're not a
00:33:02.040 contributing member
00:33:02.720 of society,
00:33:04.060 if you're not
00:33:05.060 doing anything,
00:33:06.580 why the hell
00:33:07.560 should you have
00:33:07.920 any say at all?
00:33:09.580 Well,
00:33:09.800 just because I'm me.
00:33:10.760 Well,
00:33:10.860 I don't care if you're you.
00:33:13.260 I'm a human being.
00:33:14.220 Okay,
00:33:14.420 well,
00:33:14.540 you're a human being.
00:33:15.100 Great.
00:33:15.300 You have a fundamental
00:33:17.000 moral worth
00:33:17.780 as a human being.
00:33:19.180 That doesn't mean
00:33:19.820 that your perspective
00:33:21.080 on who should lead
00:33:22.540 the country
00:33:22.940 has any value
00:33:23.920 at all.
00:33:26.780 Eventually,
00:33:27.200 we get to a point
00:33:27.700 where we're all ready
00:33:28.360 to have this.
00:33:28.940 Maybe not all of us,
00:33:30.060 but enough of us
00:33:30.840 are ready to have
00:33:31.280 this conversation
00:33:31.880 that there can even
00:33:32.600 be a conversation.
00:33:33.780 But right now,
00:33:35.280 we're just not there.
00:33:37.180 All right.
00:33:39.380 It's from the Daily Wire.
00:33:40.300 Where the six-foot
00:33:41.120 social distancing
00:33:42.060 guideline pushed
00:33:42.900 by public health
00:33:43.500 officials during
00:33:44.040 the COVID-19 pandemic
00:33:45.400 apparently lacked
00:33:46.660 any sound basis
00:33:47.620 in science,
00:33:48.280 according to the testimony
00:33:49.320 of former chief medical
00:33:50.320 advisor of the president,
00:33:51.300 Anthony Fauci.
00:33:52.780 Fauci,
00:33:53.220 the former director
00:33:53.780 of the National Institute
00:33:54.660 of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,
00:33:56.580 advised former
00:33:57.180 President Donald Trump,
00:33:57.960 of course,
00:33:58.400 we know about all that,
00:34:00.960 advised Donald Trump
00:34:01.840 and current President Joe Biden
00:34:03.340 on the U.S. response
00:34:04.060 to COVID-19,
00:34:04.800 carrying significant influence
00:34:06.120 over infectious disease policies.
00:34:08.100 Fauci appeared on Capitol Hill
00:34:09.120 in January
00:34:09.900 to testify behind closed doors
00:34:12.360 to members of the select
00:34:13.400 subcommittee
00:34:14.000 on the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:34:18.140 These transcripts,
00:34:19.260 and if you're wondering
00:34:19.900 why we're just hearing this now,
00:34:21.120 the transcripts,
00:34:22.120 we don't have video of this,
00:34:23.080 but the transcripts
00:34:23.740 were just released on Friday.
00:34:27.380 And so now,
00:34:27.820 we're just finding out
00:34:28.780 about some of this.
00:34:30.700 One line of questioning
00:34:31.500 from the Republican Council
00:34:32.420 focused on the six-foot
00:34:33.520 social distancing standard.
00:34:36.240 Fauci was asked
00:34:36.800 where the standard originated.
00:34:39.120 The former federal health official
00:34:40.300 suggested that the standard
00:34:41.180 was arbitrary
00:34:41.800 without a hard basis in data.
00:34:44.440 Fauci said,
00:34:44.900 quote,
00:34:45.320 you know,
00:34:45.600 I don't recall.
00:34:46.280 It sort of just appeared.
00:34:48.220 I don't recall,
00:34:49.120 like,
00:34:49.380 a discussion of whether
00:34:50.360 it should be five or six
00:34:51.520 or whatever.
00:34:55.280 That's just incredible.
00:34:56.480 None of this is surprising.
00:34:57.680 We know that.
00:34:58.400 We already knew
00:34:59.260 all of this,
00:34:59.920 basically,
00:35:00.340 but
00:35:00.500 it is still
00:35:03.400 just outrageous.
00:35:08.460 These were
00:35:09.100 not just guidelines.
00:35:11.280 These were policies
00:35:12.140 that were put in place.
00:35:13.340 People were forced to,
00:35:14.940 or at least they attempted
00:35:15.920 to force people
00:35:16.800 to abide by it.
00:35:19.280 And now,
00:35:19.960 the guy behind it,
00:35:21.080 he's asked,
00:35:22.000 like,
00:35:22.100 where did that come from?
00:35:23.660 Why did you tell?
00:35:24.640 Well,
00:35:24.860 I don't know.
00:35:25.440 It appeared.
00:35:27.040 The guidelines appeared
00:35:28.020 out of thin air.
00:35:28.900 They just,
00:35:30.160 magically.
00:35:31.100 They descended down
00:35:32.360 from heaven.
00:35:34.980 I don't know.
00:35:35.420 It's like Mount Sinai.
00:35:36.620 They were decreed.
00:35:37.760 Is that what happened?
00:35:41.560 In response to a question
00:35:42.680 if Fauci had seen
00:35:43.540 any studies supporting
00:35:44.760 the six-foot standard,
00:35:45.900 Fauci responded
00:35:46.520 in the negative.
00:35:47.860 I was not aware
00:35:48.540 of studies that,
00:35:49.200 in fact,
00:35:49.580 that would be
00:35:49.960 a very difficult,
00:35:50.920 I was not aware
00:35:52.980 of studies that,
00:35:53.940 in fact,
00:35:54.820 that would be
00:35:55.200 a very difficult
00:35:55.800 study to do.
00:35:57.780 Okay.
00:35:59.020 Also in his testimony,
00:35:59.840 the GOP counsel
00:36:00.440 asked Fauci
00:36:01.120 if he had seen evidence
00:36:02.120 to support the masking
00:36:03.080 of children.
00:36:05.320 Fauci said,
00:36:05.860 you know,
00:36:06.100 I might have,
00:36:06.740 Mitch,
00:36:06.880 but I don't recall
00:36:07.440 specifically that I did.
00:36:08.580 I might have.
00:36:14.800 So,
00:36:15.500 this is another thing
00:36:16.460 that kids were forced
00:36:17.900 to mask in school.
00:36:20.220 Like,
00:36:20.840 you may recall,
00:36:21.700 this was a big,
00:36:22.400 a big fight
00:36:24.220 for, like,
00:36:25.220 multiple years.
00:36:26.780 And people said
00:36:29.140 that it's crazy
00:36:29.860 to make kids
00:36:30.500 wear masks
00:36:31.200 all day at school
00:36:32.000 or anywhere.
00:36:33.860 We were shouted down,
00:36:35.640 shut down.
00:36:36.420 We were,
00:36:36.980 you know,
00:36:37.380 there was a long
00:36:39.380 period of time
00:36:40.140 where you couldn't
00:36:40.620 even say it
00:36:41.300 on social media.
00:36:42.660 You couldn't say it
00:36:43.180 on YouTube.
00:36:43.700 And now Fauci
00:36:47.280 admits that,
00:36:48.060 you know,
00:36:48.660 there might have,
00:36:49.080 well,
00:36:49.260 I don't know.
00:36:49.680 Yeah,
00:36:49.860 maybe I saw a study
00:36:51.680 that supported that,
00:36:52.760 but I don't know.
00:36:55.820 This is,
00:36:56.460 but here's the thing.
00:36:57.060 This is the,
00:36:58.360 this whole story
00:36:59.720 is the,
00:37:01.520 it's the biggest,
00:37:03.640 it's,
00:37:04.440 it's like the black pill
00:37:05.720 of all black pills
00:37:06.800 this is
00:37:08.900 because
00:37:09.340 there,
00:37:11.340 there is simply
00:37:12.920 no accountability.
00:37:15.340 Nobody will ever
00:37:16.480 be held accountable
00:37:17.260 for any of this.
00:37:20.020 I'm sure you've
00:37:20.940 maybe come to terms
00:37:23.360 with that.
00:37:23.740 You've probably
00:37:24.200 realized that by now,
00:37:25.440 whether or not
00:37:25.740 you've come to terms
00:37:26.260 with it,
00:37:26.440 you've realized it,
00:37:27.540 that nobody will ever
00:37:29.000 be held accountable
00:37:29.700 for any of this.
00:37:30.440 they shut down
00:37:32.840 the country.
00:37:34.520 They did untold
00:37:35.980 damage,
00:37:36.780 economic damage,
00:37:37.920 damage to people's,
00:37:39.480 you know,
00:37:40.380 real damage
00:37:42.100 to people's mental health
00:37:43.080 as much as I don't
00:37:43.900 often like that,
00:37:45.800 that phrase
00:37:46.740 and what it implies.
00:37:47.620 But in this case,
00:37:48.440 like doing real damage
00:37:49.440 to people psychologically,
00:37:51.260 financially,
00:37:53.620 physically,
00:37:54.380 you know,
00:37:57.580 suspending basically
00:37:59.220 all of our
00:37:59.900 constitutional rights
00:38:00.860 and here we are
00:38:03.460 a few years later
00:38:04.280 and they can't tell us,
00:38:08.580 give us any reason
00:38:09.300 why any of this was done.
00:38:11.600 The guys behind it
00:38:12.800 cannot tell us
00:38:13.500 why any of this was done.
00:38:14.480 They have no justification
00:38:15.340 for it.
00:38:18.400 But there will be
00:38:19.160 no accountability.
00:38:21.640 No one's going to jail.
00:38:24.120 No one is,
00:38:24.600 no one's even getting fined
00:38:25.760 or anything.
00:38:26.340 Like there's not going
00:38:26.800 to be anything.
00:38:27.300 There won't even be
00:38:28.540 a slap on the wrist.
00:38:30.500 Not even so much
00:38:31.300 as a literal slap
00:38:32.340 like they used to do
00:38:34.200 in school,
00:38:34.660 maybe with a ruler,
00:38:35.380 just a quick tap
00:38:36.040 on the wrist.
00:38:37.580 There won't even be that.
00:38:39.040 There will be nothing.
00:38:41.660 And there,
00:38:42.300 you know,
00:38:42.560 there are a few reasons
00:38:43.240 for that.
00:38:45.540 One is the fact
00:38:46.460 that the American public
00:38:47.680 does have the memory
00:38:50.360 and attention span
00:38:51.240 of a fruit fly.
00:38:52.240 And so we just can't
00:38:54.880 stay focused on one thing
00:38:56.200 for that long.
00:38:57.700 And once something
00:38:58.540 is in the past,
00:38:59.500 we say,
00:38:59.960 oh, it's in the past.
00:39:00.780 Who cares?
00:39:01.060 It doesn't matter anymore.
00:39:01.900 Let's go on to the next thing.
00:39:03.060 What's the next big controversy?
00:39:04.100 But even more than that,
00:39:08.160 the real reason
00:39:09.180 why nobody will be
00:39:09.860 held accountable
00:39:10.380 is that
00:39:11.200 that this was
00:39:13.800 a tyranny,
00:39:15.760 the COVID tyranny.
00:39:17.500 It was imposed
00:39:18.860 by
00:39:19.640 pretty much
00:39:21.440 the whole political class,
00:39:22.980 by the whole ruling,
00:39:23.860 the whole ruling class.
00:39:25.580 Republican,
00:39:26.160 Democrat,
00:39:26.700 Democrat,
00:39:27.200 very few people
00:39:30.240 at that level
00:39:31.120 are actually innocent
00:39:32.620 in this thing.
00:39:36.300 And that's why
00:39:36.940 no one is going
00:39:37.560 to be held accountable
00:39:38.040 because there is no one
00:39:39.040 to do the holding.
00:39:40.100 In order to be held accountable,
00:39:41.900 there has to be someone
00:39:42.740 who has the power to do it.
00:39:45.340 But all the people
00:39:46.080 that have the power to do it
00:39:46.940 are also responsible for this.
00:39:48.720 So
00:39:48.920 there's just an agreement
00:39:52.440 among all of them
00:39:53.200 that, yeah,
00:39:53.760 we're not going to,
00:39:55.360 I mean,
00:39:55.660 we'll do the hearings
00:39:56.320 and stuff like that,
00:39:57.200 but we're not going to
00:39:58.420 actually do anything
00:39:59.420 about any of this
00:40:00.060 and we're not going to
00:40:00.600 send anyone to jail.
00:40:01.800 Certainly not.
00:40:04.540 We're going to
00:40:05.360 kind of cover the bases
00:40:07.320 symbolically
00:40:08.360 and then move on
00:40:09.200 like it never happened.
00:40:11.920 All right,
00:40:12.360 if that wasn't depressing enough,
00:40:13.380 let's do another one.
00:40:14.280 It's the New York Post.
00:40:14.980 It says,
00:40:15.200 a young Dutch woman
00:40:16.020 finally got her tragic wish
00:40:17.400 to die by assisted suicide.
00:40:18.940 29-year-old Zaria Terbeek's life
00:40:21.140 was terminated last week
00:40:22.340 after waiting three years
00:40:23.460 for final approval
00:40:24.320 for euthanasia,
00:40:25.360 which is legal in the Netherlands
00:40:26.980 if the patient is deemed
00:40:27.860 to be experiencing
00:40:28.540 unbearable suffering
00:40:29.600 with no prospect
00:40:30.500 of improvement.
00:40:31.760 Terbeek was diagnosed
00:40:32.480 with autism
00:40:33.080 when she was 21.
00:40:34.480 By the time she was 22,
00:40:35.320 she wore a
00:40:36.420 do not resuscitate tag
00:40:37.440 around her neck.
00:40:39.840 She reportedly
00:40:40.480 had been hoping
00:40:40.900 to end her life
00:40:41.500 since she was a child
00:40:42.420 as she was bullied
00:40:43.220 growing up
00:40:43.800 and often felt like
00:40:44.640 she didn't fit in.
00:40:45.420 and she struggled
00:40:49.840 with depression,
00:40:50.520 anxiety,
00:40:52.040 personality disorders,
00:40:54.640 wanted to assist
00:40:57.240 in suicide,
00:40:57.960 waited three years
00:40:58.840 and now she got it.
00:41:00.020 So she's now
00:41:01.160 no longer with us.
00:41:06.300 And we've been following
00:41:07.300 this case over the last year
00:41:08.440 or so.
00:41:09.240 So if you listen to the show,
00:41:11.380 you've heard about this woman
00:41:12.180 and now the case has reached
00:41:14.740 its very unfortunate
00:41:15.920 though probably
00:41:16.520 inevitable conclusion.
00:41:18.680 And this is a woman
00:41:19.220 who just to review
00:41:20.060 what we read
00:41:20.540 and what we've covered,
00:41:21.320 this is a woman
00:41:22.100 who did not have
00:41:23.160 any physical illness,
00:41:24.700 much less a terminal one.
00:41:26.400 She was perfectly
00:41:27.340 physically healthy,
00:41:28.660 but she was depressed
00:41:29.920 and she was bullied
00:41:30.800 and so,
00:41:31.700 and she was anxious
00:41:32.520 and so she wanted
00:41:33.340 to be put down.
00:41:34.740 And after waiting on a,
00:41:35.780 after waiting on a wait list,
00:41:38.020 a suicide wait list,
00:41:40.460 she was finally killed.
00:41:43.000 Now she was very vocal
00:41:44.240 about her situation.
00:41:45.140 She wanted her case
00:41:45.760 to be used as a kind of a means
00:41:47.220 to promote assisted suicide
00:41:48.700 even more.
00:41:50.020 But I think it's
00:41:50.980 tragically instructive
00:41:52.320 the other way
00:41:53.040 because it perfectly
00:41:54.380 encapsulates all of the worst
00:41:55.860 things about euthanasia.
00:41:57.800 It shows why euthanasia
00:41:59.220 should not be legal,
00:42:00.320 why it should not be allowed.
00:42:01.480 And it shows most of all
00:42:03.080 the inherent contradiction
00:42:05.240 of the whole thing.
00:42:07.680 Like the whole thing relies
00:42:09.040 on a kind of collective
00:42:10.660 cognitive dissonance
00:42:12.200 in any society
00:42:14.540 that accepts it.
00:42:15.620 There's this disconnect
00:42:18.280 that underlies
00:42:21.820 euthanasia
00:42:23.640 and the euthanasia agenda.
00:42:25.620 And here's why.
00:42:28.060 So just,
00:42:28.840 here's a thought experiment,
00:42:30.260 a hypothetical.
00:42:31.020 Imagine this.
00:42:32.500 Imagine
00:42:32.940 if I
00:42:34.720 was driving over a bridge
00:42:37.460 and I happen to see
00:42:39.360 a young woman,
00:42:40.000 say a young woman
00:42:40.640 named Zariah,
00:42:42.500 standing at the edge
00:42:43.560 of the bridge.
00:42:45.120 And now imagine
00:42:45.760 that I pull over
00:42:46.920 and I approach
00:42:47.900 and I ask her,
00:42:49.080 you know,
00:42:49.380 what's wrong?
00:42:49.920 And imagine that she tells me
00:42:50.940 that her life isn't worth
00:42:52.320 living anymore
00:42:52.760 and she's depressed
00:42:53.400 and she's been bullied
00:42:54.120 and she wants to kill herself.
00:42:56.640 Okay?
00:42:57.560 Now imagine
00:42:58.340 that I respond
00:42:59.440 by saying,
00:43:00.280 okay, well,
00:43:01.000 good luck then.
00:43:02.800 And I get in my car
00:43:03.640 and I drive away.
00:43:04.180 Maybe in my rear view mirror
00:43:06.720 I can see her,
00:43:07.540 you know,
00:43:08.320 tumbling over the edge.
00:43:10.400 If I were to respond
00:43:11.700 to a suicidal person
00:43:13.360 that way,
00:43:14.320 not attempting
00:43:15.340 to dissuade them,
00:43:16.780 not calling the police,
00:43:18.280 but rather just
00:43:19.560 accepting their wishes,
00:43:21.900 so she wants to die,
00:43:23.540 it's her right to die.
00:43:25.400 Maybe I even say that.
00:43:26.280 What if I said that?
00:43:26.880 What if I said,
00:43:27.840 okay, well,
00:43:28.220 you know,
00:43:28.480 that's your right.
00:43:30.540 See you later.
00:43:32.760 If I did that
00:43:33.800 nearly everyone
00:43:35.140 would agree
00:43:35.820 rightfully
00:43:36.780 that I'm a monster.
00:43:41.160 There are plenty
00:43:41.620 of people who think
00:43:42.000 I'm a monster anyway,
00:43:42.840 but let's,
00:43:43.280 let's,
00:43:43.840 you know,
00:43:44.440 leave that aside.
00:43:46.180 Nearly everyone
00:43:46.900 would think that,
00:43:48.620 including nearly everyone
00:43:49.920 who supports euthanasia.
00:43:52.500 Okay?
00:43:53.020 But in that case,
00:43:54.960 they would,
00:43:55.860 those people would say,
00:43:57.180 well,
00:43:57.280 how could you?
00:43:58.740 She was going to kill herself?
00:43:59.600 You just let her do it?
00:44:01.520 What kind of psychopath
00:44:03.080 are you?
00:44:04.920 Now,
00:44:05.360 the contradiction here
00:44:06.320 is totally irreconcilable.
00:44:09.320 In fact,
00:44:10.060 in the case of
00:44:10.740 jumping off the bridge,
00:44:12.900 nearly everyone
00:44:13.920 would agree that,
00:44:14.700 that not only should
00:44:16.020 I try to dissuade her,
00:44:17.000 but that I can,
00:44:17.860 and in fact,
00:44:18.420 should use physical force
00:44:21.060 to stop her
00:44:22.120 if that's what it takes.
00:44:24.720 Almost everyone
00:44:25.380 would agree with that.
00:44:26.160 And if you,
00:44:29.340 let's say,
00:44:29.980 you pulled up next
00:44:31.180 and this woman
00:44:32.380 was about to jump
00:44:33.000 and you saw me
00:44:34.580 run up and grab her
00:44:35.560 to stop her from jumping,
00:44:37.340 you wouldn't object
00:44:38.420 to what I did.
00:44:39.060 You wouldn't stand there
00:44:39.560 and say,
00:44:39.680 well,
00:44:39.800 what are you doing?
00:44:40.480 That's her choice.
00:44:41.400 How dare you?
00:44:42.740 You wouldn't say that.
00:44:44.680 No,
00:44:44.900 in fact,
00:44:45.100 you would say
00:44:45.420 I'm a hero.
00:44:46.660 I acted heroically
00:44:47.660 to prevent this woman
00:44:48.640 from doing
00:44:50.440 what she wanted to do,
00:44:51.440 but what she wanted to do
00:44:52.220 was kill herself.
00:44:52.840 And so
00:44:56.100 that's how everybody
00:44:57.160 would react.
00:44:57.680 And yet,
00:44:58.220 if that woman
00:44:59.100 just,
00:45:00.700 let's say,
00:45:01.020 keeps walking
00:45:01.660 across the bridge
00:45:02.620 and stops at her doctor's office
00:45:04.340 a mile down the road
00:45:05.440 and decides to use
00:45:06.560 a poison needle
00:45:07.400 or a poison pill
00:45:08.540 or whatever
00:45:09.060 to kill herself,
00:45:10.240 then all of a sudden
00:45:10.900 it's now something
00:45:12.800 we shouldn't try to stop.
00:45:14.920 In fact,
00:45:15.600 a doctor should facilitate it,
00:45:17.840 should perform it
00:45:18.980 for her.
00:45:22.060 In fact,
00:45:22.840 imagine this.
00:45:23.640 Imagine that I stop
00:45:24.640 because this is really,
00:45:26.520 if you want to make this
00:45:27.780 really analogous
00:45:29.080 to assisted suicide,
00:45:31.380 then it would be this.
00:45:33.120 She's about to jump
00:45:33.880 off the bridge.
00:45:34.580 I stop.
00:45:36.320 I ask her what's wrong.
00:45:37.500 She says she wants
00:45:37.920 to kill herself.
00:45:39.380 And then she says,
00:45:40.480 well,
00:45:40.900 I want to jump.
00:45:42.800 I don't want to live anymore,
00:45:43.760 but I can't bring myself
00:45:44.660 to do it.
00:45:45.780 So would you come over
00:45:46.840 and push me?
00:45:49.400 And then,
00:45:50.220 what if I did?
00:45:50.960 I mean,
00:45:53.120 she wants to kill herself.
00:45:54.220 She's fully consented.
00:45:55.520 She's asked me
00:45:56.340 to assist in her suicide.
00:45:59.200 So what if I said,
00:46:00.060 oh, okay,
00:46:00.500 well, all right,
00:46:01.100 if that's what you want.
00:46:02.500 And I just shoved her
00:46:03.460 over the bridge.
00:46:05.860 Now,
00:46:06.240 not only would I be
00:46:07.200 condemned nationwide,
00:46:08.940 globally,
00:46:09.840 in fact,
00:46:10.200 for doing that,
00:46:10.760 but I would go to prison.
00:46:12.060 I would go to prison
00:46:13.100 for a long time
00:46:14.600 for doing that.
00:46:15.340 And there would be
00:46:17.460 basically nobody
00:46:19.140 speaking up in my defense.
00:46:22.220 And yet,
00:46:22.860 that is exactly
00:46:23.840 what doctors
00:46:24.980 who perform
00:46:25.700 assisted suicide
00:46:26.400 are doing.
00:46:27.640 It's right there
00:46:28.480 in the freaking name,
00:46:29.460 assisted suicide.
00:46:32.560 And in that case,
00:46:33.640 it's suddenly okay?
00:46:36.680 Now,
00:46:38.140 supporters of euthanasia
00:46:39.480 will probably make
00:46:40.100 some ridiculous claim
00:46:41.160 about how,
00:46:41.760 well,
00:46:42.000 I'm not a doctor.
00:46:42.880 And this medical treatment
00:46:45.060 should be handled
00:46:45.620 by a professional.
00:46:47.740 Except that's not
00:46:48.680 really your problem.
00:46:50.140 Like,
00:46:50.440 get real.
00:46:51.940 Okay?
00:46:52.980 If I push the woman
00:46:54.140 off the bridge
00:46:54.880 at her own request,
00:46:57.000 the outrage
00:46:58.580 that you would feel
00:46:59.740 towards me
00:47:00.400 is not
00:47:01.120 the moral outrage
00:47:02.540 that you feel
00:47:03.220 towards someone
00:47:03.680 who practices medicine
00:47:05.100 without a license.
00:47:06.700 Okay?
00:47:06.900 Your issue is not
00:47:07.680 that I'm not properly licensed
00:47:09.400 and the paperwork
00:47:10.060 hasn't been filed.
00:47:11.760 No,
00:47:11.960 you would feel
00:47:12.460 the innate
00:47:14.220 just visceral
00:47:15.620 moral outrage
00:47:16.840 that you would feel
00:47:19.540 towards any murderer.
00:47:20.640 That's how you would feel.
00:47:22.300 It's got nothing to do
00:47:23.180 with paperwork
00:47:23.700 and licenses
00:47:24.620 and everything else.
00:47:26.540 No,
00:47:26.760 you would hate me
00:47:27.540 because I pushed
00:47:28.120 a woman off a bridge.
00:47:29.700 Because this woman
00:47:30.440 is in mental
00:47:31.100 and emotional distress
00:47:32.200 and rather than
00:47:33.120 stopping her
00:47:34.560 from killing herself,
00:47:35.700 I helped her.
00:47:36.400 And also,
00:47:41.840 you know,
00:47:42.220 killing someone
00:47:42.940 is not medicine.
00:47:45.460 Okay?
00:47:46.000 Just because
00:47:46.780 you do it
00:47:47.640 in a doctor's office
00:47:48.640 that doesn't make it
00:47:49.680 medicine.
00:47:50.540 Just because
00:47:51.620 a doctor does it
00:47:53.120 that doesn't mean
00:47:54.160 that it's medicine.
00:47:55.980 This is a very simple concept
00:47:57.180 that seems to be hard
00:47:57.860 for a lot of people
00:47:58.360 to grasp.
00:47:59.780 Just because a doctor,
00:48:00.980 the definition of medicine
00:48:02.500 is not
00:48:03.480 whatever a doctor does.
00:48:06.280 Okay?
00:48:06.420 That's not the definition
00:48:07.100 of medicine.
00:48:08.260 And we should all
00:48:09.120 understand that
00:48:09.760 because through
00:48:10.840 the decades
00:48:12.020 and centuries
00:48:12.640 and through the course
00:48:14.700 of human civilization,
00:48:16.480 many horrific things
00:48:18.940 have been done
00:48:19.600 in the name of medicine,
00:48:20.820 have been done
00:48:21.280 by doctors
00:48:22.040 who claim
00:48:22.460 that they're helping.
00:48:23.340 So we don't just
00:48:24.160 accept all of that
00:48:26.700 out of hand
00:48:27.520 because a doctor's
00:48:29.340 doing it.
00:48:30.980 No, medicine
00:48:31.600 is a particular thing.
00:48:32.720 Medicine,
00:48:33.680 by definition,
00:48:35.400 is meant to heal
00:48:36.380 and treat
00:48:37.000 and cure.
00:48:41.000 Not everything
00:48:41.760 can be cured.
00:48:43.380 Not everything
00:48:44.080 can be healed.
00:48:44.780 But at the very least,
00:48:46.800 it is treated.
00:48:49.580 That's what medicine is.
00:48:52.260 Killing someone
00:48:53.060 is not a treatment.
00:48:54.640 Death is not
00:48:55.560 a treatment plan.
00:48:59.080 And here's another thing
00:49:00.500 that shouldn't need
00:49:00.960 to be explained.
00:49:04.360 So then we go back
00:49:05.340 to what exactly
00:49:06.820 is the difference
00:49:08.120 between a doctor
00:49:10.420 performing
00:49:10.980 assisted suicide
00:49:11.860 and me pushing
00:49:13.640 a woman off a bridge
00:49:14.560 when she asks me to.
00:49:18.800 There is no difference.
00:49:20.200 It's the same thing.
00:49:21.660 I mean,
00:49:21.920 it is exactly
00:49:22.900 the same thing.
00:49:24.080 And yet,
00:49:28.300 everybody recognizes
00:49:30.060 that one of those things
00:49:31.320 would be
00:49:31.980 a horrific act
00:49:34.640 of evil.
00:49:36.180 And yet,
00:49:36.580 the other thing
00:49:37.200 is supported,
00:49:39.480 even celebrated
00:49:40.140 by many of those
00:49:42.040 same people.
00:49:42.460 It doesn't make
00:49:42.820 any sense.
00:49:45.820 And what does
00:49:46.640 that tell you?
00:49:47.120 It tells you that
00:49:47.820 it really tells you
00:49:50.300 that almost nobody
00:49:51.500 actually supports
00:49:52.640 euthanasia.
00:49:54.420 Because almost
00:49:55.320 no one is honest
00:49:56.880 about what it
00:49:57.680 actually is.
00:49:59.500 Like,
00:49:59.800 the whole point
00:50:00.640 of euthanasia
00:50:01.500 is to hide
00:50:02.600 from what this
00:50:03.960 thing is
00:50:04.760 that's being done.
00:50:06.860 That's the whole
00:50:07.520 point of it.
00:50:10.040 And if that's
00:50:10.820 not the point,
00:50:11.580 then it has
00:50:12.040 no point.
00:50:14.540 Like,
00:50:14.800 because,
00:50:15.060 I mean,
00:50:15.640 just the whole
00:50:16.680 idea that
00:50:17.700 someone is waiting
00:50:18.440 for three years
00:50:19.280 on a wait list
00:50:20.220 to kill
00:50:21.400 themselves,
00:50:22.260 it's like
00:50:25.140 a very macabre,
00:50:26.620 dark joke.
00:50:28.400 I mean,
00:50:28.820 it's absurd.
00:50:31.440 It would be
00:50:32.320 laughable if it
00:50:33.280 wasn't so
00:50:33.860 horrifically tragic
00:50:35.420 and awful.
00:50:39.120 It's like
00:50:39.780 some very dark
00:50:41.040 satire of
00:50:42.140 modern society
00:50:42.940 that you've got
00:50:43.420 people waiting
00:50:43.980 on wait lists
00:50:44.940 and filling out
00:50:46.420 paperwork
00:50:47.100 to kill
00:50:48.120 themselves.
00:50:49.280 because,
00:50:51.400 like,
00:50:51.500 the obvious
00:50:51.860 thing here
00:50:52.320 is that,
00:50:52.780 I mean,
00:50:54.460 anyone can
00:50:55.380 do that.
00:50:59.380 Anyone can
00:51:00.180 do that.
00:51:00.500 That's a thing
00:51:00.960 that anyone
00:51:01.380 can do.
00:51:03.000 And yet,
00:51:05.460 the,
00:51:05.720 let's say,
00:51:06.060 do-it-yourself
00:51:06.680 methods of
00:51:07.780 suicide are
00:51:09.100 things that we
00:51:09.840 all recognize
00:51:11.080 are horrible
00:51:11.740 and we would
00:51:12.280 never,
00:51:13.640 anyone who
00:51:14.760 tells us that
00:51:15.520 they're struggling
00:51:16.080 with suicidal
00:51:16.680 thoughts,
00:51:17.240 we would all
00:51:18.640 want to
00:51:19.880 dissuade
00:51:20.220 them.
00:51:20.480 We would
00:51:20.660 all want,
00:51:21.040 in fact,
00:51:21.480 even this
00:51:22.040 article in
00:51:22.920 the New York
00:51:23.240 Post,
00:51:23.560 at the very
00:51:23.960 end of it,
00:51:24.560 in the article,
00:51:25.660 there's a link
00:51:27.920 to the suicide
00:51:28.560 helpline.
00:51:31.400 Well,
00:51:31.780 what do they do
00:51:32.200 with the suicide
00:51:32.620 helpline?
00:51:33.140 They don't send
00:51:34.320 you to euthanasia,
00:51:35.240 they try to
00:51:35.660 convince you,
00:51:36.240 they try to
00:51:36.700 help you not
00:51:37.700 do that.
00:51:39.840 Because when it
00:51:40.440 comes to suicide,
00:51:41.280 we all recognize
00:51:42.100 that it's wrong
00:51:43.040 and people shouldn't
00:51:43.680 do it and if
00:51:44.240 they're doing it,
00:51:44.940 then it's because,
00:51:45.560 like,
00:51:45.640 by definition,
00:51:46.800 they're not in
00:51:47.240 the right state
00:51:47.760 of mind and
00:51:48.500 that life is
00:51:49.420 worth living and
00:51:50.140 that we should
00:51:50.440 never just give
00:51:51.260 up on it.
00:51:54.760 We all recognize
00:51:55.760 that and yet
00:51:58.220 euthanasia has
00:51:59.140 support from many
00:52:00.120 millions of people,
00:52:00.940 which again tells
00:52:01.540 me that these
00:52:02.740 are people who
00:52:03.120 just are not,
00:52:03.740 like,
00:52:04.080 the whole thing
00:52:05.240 exists to allow
00:52:07.000 people to hide
00:52:08.100 from what it is.
00:52:09.560 It is a way of
00:52:11.020 not so much,
00:52:13.560 it's not so much a
00:52:14.320 method of suicide
00:52:15.160 as it is a
00:52:16.080 branding.
00:52:18.280 It's a method
00:52:19.340 of branding it
00:52:20.300 so that it seems
00:52:22.660 like something
00:52:23.180 other than what
00:52:23.920 it is.
00:52:25.760 And then one
00:52:26.680 of the things
00:52:27.180 that's so horrible
00:52:27.880 about that
00:52:28.540 is that you
00:52:29.840 end up with
00:52:30.580 people who
00:52:32.260 commit suicide
00:52:33.560 through euthanasia
00:52:34.420 who otherwise
00:52:35.560 would not.
00:52:38.660 I mean,
00:52:38.980 pretty much anyone
00:52:39.680 who's going
00:52:40.180 through the steps
00:52:40.920 to commit euthanasia,
00:52:42.760 if euthanasia
00:52:43.760 was not legal,
00:52:44.540 they wouldn't
00:52:45.040 do it.
00:52:45.780 They wouldn't
00:52:46.220 kill themselves.
00:52:47.860 Because if they
00:52:48.560 would,
00:52:48.860 they just would.
00:52:50.180 There'd be no
00:52:50.660 reason to wait
00:52:51.160 on a wait list.
00:52:53.940 So by definition,
00:52:55.080 anyone who's
00:52:55.560 getting euthanasia,
00:52:57.520 I mean,
00:52:57.680 it's like you
00:52:58.180 can't even talk
00:52:58.720 about it without
00:52:59.300 making it,
00:53:00.440 without talking
00:53:01.280 about it as
00:53:01.740 though it's a
00:53:02.120 medical treatment.
00:53:02.900 That's part of
00:53:03.360 the point here.
00:53:03.800 But anyone
00:53:05.600 who is
00:53:06.080 availing themselves
00:53:09.880 of euthanasia,
00:53:11.340 by definition,
00:53:12.680 we know that
00:53:13.300 if not for
00:53:14.180 euthanasia,
00:53:14.600 they wouldn't
00:53:14.860 kill themselves.
00:53:15.820 And so
00:53:16.760 people that
00:53:18.900 are very
00:53:21.280 concerned about
00:53:22.040 the idea
00:53:23.660 of banning
00:53:24.680 euthanasia,
00:53:25.980 what's the
00:53:27.320 slippery slope?
00:53:29.020 What's the
00:53:29.720 dystopian
00:53:30.660 consequence
00:53:32.540 of banning
00:53:33.640 euthanasia?
00:53:34.320 More people
00:53:34.960 live?
00:53:36.420 That's what
00:53:37.120 they're worried
00:53:37.420 about.
00:53:37.560 That's the
00:53:37.840 consequence.
00:53:38.200 The consequence
00:53:39.020 of having
00:53:39.560 euthanasia is
00:53:40.320 that a lot
00:53:40.660 more people
00:53:41.000 end up
00:53:41.340 dying.
00:53:42.520 The consequence
00:53:43.020 of not having
00:53:43.900 it is that
00:53:45.340 more people
00:53:46.160 live.
00:53:48.000 And that's
00:53:48.660 a bad
00:53:49.700 thing,
00:53:50.260 we're told.
00:53:51.760 When the
00:53:52.300 justice system
00:53:52.820 collapses,
00:53:53.480 we don't sit
00:53:54.080 back.

00:54:27.460 daily
00:54:27.600 cancellations.
00:54:34.380 Well,
00:54:34.840 it's not
00:54:35.080 every day that
00:54:35.740 a tweet
00:54:36.240 thread from
00:54:36.740 an anonymous
00:54:37.220 account called
00:54:38.040 Meatball
00:54:38.640 Times serves
00:54:39.700 as the
00:54:40.020 jumping off
00:54:40.460 point for
00:54:40.880 our daily
00:54:41.240 cancellation
00:54:41.600 segment,
00:54:42.140 but this
00:54:42.540 is that
00:54:43.280 day.
00:54:44.360 Meatball
00:54:44.900 went somewhat
00:54:45.420 viral over
00:54:45.900 the weekend
00:54:46.160 with a lengthy
00:54:46.800 diatribe about
00:54:47.720 the need for
00:54:48.520 men to build
00:54:49.680 emotional
00:54:50.180 intelligence,
00:54:50.940 quote unquote.
00:54:51.860 And his rantings
00:54:52.420 are only worthy
00:54:52.920 of consideration
00:54:53.460 because they
00:54:53.940 unintentionally
00:54:54.480 illustrate a
00:54:54.960 very important
00:54:55.400 point about
00:54:56.040 the nature
00:54:56.520 of masculinity
00:54:57.120 and the
00:54:57.700 challenges
00:54:58.100 that men
00:54:58.700 face in
00:55:00.120 modern culture.
00:55:01.260 Now this
00:55:01.920 person's not
00:55:02.460 trying to
00:55:02.880 illustrate that
00:55:03.680 point.
00:55:04.060 In fact,
00:55:04.240 he's reaching
00:55:04.640 desperately for
00:55:05.280 something like
00:55:05.720 the opposite
00:55:06.200 point,
00:55:06.740 but in the
00:55:07.620 attempt,
00:55:08.020 he inadvertently
00:55:08.540 provides a
00:55:09.180 learning opportunity
00:55:09.960 for all of us.
00:55:11.580 So let's read
00:55:12.180 it.
00:55:12.600 Quote,
00:55:13.860 I've been feeling
00:55:14.580 very undernourished
00:55:15.720 in my male
00:55:16.340 friendships recently.
00:55:17.320 I think there's
00:55:17.740 something just
00:55:18.220 kind of wrong
00:55:19.080 with the default
00:55:19.940 mode of male
00:55:20.720 socialization
00:55:21.540 slash communication,
00:55:22.980 something men
00:55:23.540 aren't taught
00:55:24.200 about relating
00:55:25.020 to people.
00:55:25.780 For instance,
00:55:26.380 I've known this
00:55:27.000 guy for 15 years.
00:55:27.960 I was his best
00:55:28.460 man at his
00:55:28.880 wedding.
00:55:29.600 I told him
00:55:29.920 recently about
00:55:30.360 a suicidal
00:55:30.900 episode of
00:55:31.560 someone I love
00:55:32.320 recently,
00:55:32.780 and I also
00:55:33.100 a close family
00:55:33.720 friend lying
00:55:34.760 about having
00:55:35.320 cancer for
00:55:35.980 two years
00:55:36.480 and how it
00:55:37.240 was killing
00:55:37.640 me,
00:55:38.220 crying.
00:55:39.120 My male
00:55:39.540 friend's
00:55:39.860 response to
00:55:40.400 me crying
00:55:40.880 on his
00:55:41.220 sofa,
00:55:42.220 dude,
00:55:42.520 I'm sorry,
00:55:43.040 that's crazy.
00:55:44.420 What topping
00:55:44.960 do you want
00:55:45.360 on your pizza?
00:55:46.860 What the F?
00:55:47.960 Friends for 15
00:55:48.760 years,
00:55:49.120 this is his
00:55:49.520 response?
00:55:50.400 Not all guys
00:55:50.960 are like this,
00:55:51.580 but could you
00:55:52.300 imagine literally
00:55:52.980 any woman doing
00:55:53.900 this?
00:55:54.640 I realized
00:55:55.120 several years
00:55:55.600 ago that I
00:55:56.140 could spend
00:55:56.460 hours talking
00:55:57.200 to my male
00:55:57.740 friends and not
00:55:58.300 learn a single
00:55:58.780 thing about them.
00:55:59.900 I always am
00:56:00.440 the one to ask
00:56:01.020 personal questions,
00:56:02.480 and when I ask
00:56:02.960 guys about their
00:56:03.580 divorce or
00:56:04.140 whatever,
00:56:04.840 a solid one
00:56:05.560 third of them
00:56:06.160 like shrug?
00:56:07.900 Hello?
00:56:09.420 Now the
00:56:10.020 diatribe continues
00:56:10.860 from here,
00:56:11.360 but let's pause
00:56:12.400 to consider a few
00:56:13.720 points.
00:56:14.100 First of all,
00:56:15.200 I'm trying to
00:56:17.000 imagine how I
00:56:18.160 might react if a
00:56:19.280 guy came up to
00:56:20.060 me and told me
00:56:20.900 that he feels
00:56:22.000 undernourished by
00:56:23.820 my friendship.
00:56:25.320 I think I'd
00:56:26.220 probably say a
00:56:27.260 bunch of things
00:56:27.720 that I can't
00:56:28.560 say here,
00:56:29.300 but the basic
00:56:30.360 gist would be
00:56:31.200 that I'm
00:56:32.420 glad that I'm
00:56:33.860 not nourishing
00:56:34.640 you.
00:56:35.740 What am I,
00:56:36.360 a dairy cow?
00:56:37.420 Like, why are
00:56:38.540 you looking to
00:56:38.920 me for
00:56:39.200 nourishment,
00:56:39.940 you freak?
00:56:41.080 I can never
00:56:41.820 hang out with
00:56:42.300 you again after
00:56:43.000 a comment like
00:56:43.560 that.
00:56:44.260 Now that I
00:56:44.880 know that you're
00:56:45.240 sitting over
00:56:45.740 there expecting
00:56:46.500 nourishment.
00:56:50.040 Although I guess
00:56:50.820 being told by a
00:56:51.580 friend that I'm
00:56:52.200 not nourishing him
00:56:53.420 isn't the worst
00:56:54.260 thing in the
00:56:54.620 world.
00:56:55.100 That's the second
00:56:55.920 worst thing.
00:56:56.360 The worst thing
00:56:57.060 is if he came up
00:56:58.500 to me and said,
00:56:59.460 thank you for
00:57:00.260 your friendship,
00:57:00.900 Matt.
00:57:01.020 It's very
00:57:01.400 nourishing.
00:57:03.140 That'd be the
00:57:03.660 worst.
00:57:04.460 It's like, I
00:57:04.700 didn't mean to
00:57:05.120 be nourishing
00:57:05.700 you.
00:57:05.840 I don't know
00:57:06.080 what's going
00:57:06.440 on here,
00:57:06.820 but something's
00:57:08.580 gone wrong
00:57:09.000 here.
00:57:10.920 In either case,
00:57:11.740 this is not how
00:57:12.440 men speak to
00:57:13.020 each other.
00:57:13.700 And it certainly
00:57:14.140 makes one suspect
00:57:14.840 that the author
00:57:15.440 of this thread
00:57:16.080 is not a man
00:57:16.740 at all.
00:57:17.660 By the language
00:57:18.340 he's using,
00:57:18.980 you'd think that
00:57:19.360 he's like a
00:57:19.740 24-year-old
00:57:20.540 female HR
00:57:21.680 representative who
00:57:22.420 graduated from
00:57:23.120 NYU with a
00:57:24.180 major in
00:57:24.760 queer poetry or
00:57:26.140 whatever.
00:57:27.000 And maybe that's
00:57:27.500 the case.
00:57:27.760 But let's take
00:57:28.400 him at his
00:57:28.720 word for the
00:57:29.220 purposes of
00:57:29.600 this conversation
00:57:30.200 and assume that
00:57:31.640 he really is a
00:57:32.300 dude who speaks
00:57:33.640 like that and
00:57:35.040 yet somehow still
00:57:35.860 gets invited over
00:57:36.560 for pizza night
00:57:37.220 with the boys,
00:57:37.920 which, again,
00:57:39.080 is hard to
00:57:39.600 imagine.
00:57:40.860 So, okay,
00:57:41.240 then.
00:57:42.280 Tells us that he
00:57:42.920 went to his
00:57:43.220 friend's house and
00:57:44.380 starts crying on
00:57:45.060 his couch.
00:57:46.300 His friend offers
00:57:47.000 him a quick
00:57:47.380 supportive word and
00:57:48.440 then tries to get
00:57:49.000 back to ordering
00:57:49.580 the pizza.
00:57:50.880 Meatball wants
00:57:51.460 us to see his
00:57:52.060 friend as the
00:57:52.840 bad guy in this
00:57:53.460 exchange, even
00:57:54.040 though he's the
00:57:55.360 one not only
00:57:55.900 crying like a
00:57:56.680 girl on his
00:57:57.100 friend's couch,
00:57:57.600 but even
00:57:58.000 worse, doing
00:57:59.200 it while his
00:58:00.500 friend is in the
00:58:01.120 middle of trying
00:58:01.740 to order the
00:58:02.280 pizza.
00:58:03.380 So Meatball has
00:58:03.940 committed multiple
00:58:05.340 violations of the
00:58:06.180 man code in this
00:58:06.860 story.
00:58:08.240 Violation number
00:58:08.900 one, crying in
00:58:10.600 front of another
00:58:10.960 man.
00:58:12.240 Violation number
00:58:12.920 two, crying in
00:58:14.440 front of another
00:58:14.760 man at his
00:58:15.520 house.
00:58:17.380 Violation number
00:58:18.000 three, distracting a
00:58:19.680 man while he's
00:58:20.460 trying to order
00:58:21.040 pizza.
00:58:21.400 Now, the friend, we
00:58:23.780 can assume he's
00:58:24.580 married, so he
00:58:26.220 already has to
00:58:26.960 deal with that
00:58:27.320 sort of thing
00:58:27.680 with his wife.
00:58:29.280 Women are
00:58:29.760 infamous for this
00:58:31.380 kind of thing.
00:58:31.780 They're infamous
00:58:32.260 for not staying
00:58:33.740 focused and on
00:58:34.780 message while food
00:58:35.780 is being ordered.
00:58:37.560 Like, at the end
00:58:37.840 of the day, I was
00:58:38.080 trying to order
00:58:38.460 Chinese.
00:58:38.920 I asked my wife,
00:58:39.420 like, what do you
00:58:39.700 want from the
00:58:39.980 Chinese place?
00:58:41.140 She launches into
00:58:41.880 like a seven-minute
00:58:42.520 story that's
00:58:43.300 completely irrelevant
00:58:43.980 to the Chinese.
00:58:44.660 I'm like, I'm
00:58:44.900 sitting here, we
00:58:45.920 can talk about
00:58:46.440 that, but do you
00:58:47.340 want General Tso's?
00:58:48.300 What do you
00:58:48.460 want?
00:58:49.120 What are we
00:58:49.820 doing here?
00:58:51.620 We've got to get
00:58:52.200 the food handled
00:58:52.860 first, and then
00:58:53.520 we can have a
00:58:53.900 conversation.
00:58:56.260 And now, this
00:58:57.180 guy, he has to
00:58:59.020 deal with the
00:58:59.520 same sort of
00:59:00.160 thing when he
00:59:00.620 invites dudes
00:59:01.320 over for pizza?
00:59:03.040 Like, it's
00:59:03.600 unconscionable to
00:59:04.660 put a man in
00:59:05.160 that position.
00:59:06.920 I'm sorry you
00:59:07.580 had a loved one
00:59:08.100 who faked
00:59:08.460 cancer.
00:59:09.020 That's weird, but
00:59:09.780 like, what
00:59:10.260 exactly does that
00:59:11.140 have to do with
00:59:11.620 Papa John's?
00:59:12.280 I don't understand
00:59:13.000 why you're
00:59:13.860 bringing this up
00:59:14.380 right now.
00:59:16.200 And what does
00:59:16.820 Meatball want from
00:59:17.620 his friend here?
00:59:18.780 The guy said
00:59:19.220 he was sorry.
00:59:20.280 Okay, check.
00:59:22.020 He said it was
00:59:22.700 crazy.
00:59:23.460 Check.
00:59:23.740 It is crazy.
00:59:25.660 What else is
00:59:26.320 there to say?
00:59:27.460 Especially a
00:59:28.040 story like that.
00:59:28.900 Like, that's
00:59:29.460 what I don't know
00:59:30.320 what else to say.
00:59:31.180 Oh, my loved
00:59:31.920 one faked
00:59:32.300 cancer.
00:59:34.420 That's super
00:59:35.200 weird, man.
00:59:36.220 Sorry that that
00:59:36.960 happened.
00:59:39.500 What kind of
00:59:40.260 cancer did he
00:59:40.900 fake?
00:59:41.340 Like, what, do
00:59:41.740 you want
00:59:41.880 questions?
00:59:44.220 But he
00:59:44.660 acknowledged your
00:59:45.300 sob story, he
00:59:45.960 offered condolences,
00:59:46.800 and then he
00:59:47.020 tried to redirect
00:59:47.580 back to the pizza
00:59:48.360 instead of letting
00:59:48.960 you indulge any
00:59:49.720 further in your
00:59:50.300 pity party.
00:59:51.160 That's what men
00:59:51.680 do.
00:59:52.140 That's how men
00:59:52.580 relate to each
00:59:53.180 other.
00:59:53.900 We don't wallow
00:59:54.780 together in our
00:59:55.460 emotions.
00:59:55.940 In fact, if I have
00:59:56.980 any criticism of the
00:59:58.000 friend in this
00:59:58.420 exchange, it's that he
00:59:59.100 didn't make fun of the
01:00:00.860 other guy for crying.
01:00:02.540 That's the only place
01:00:03.260 where he dropped the
01:00:03.760 ball.
01:00:04.680 And I can only take
01:00:05.420 solace in the
01:00:05.940 assumption that the
01:00:06.700 next time they hang
01:00:07.540 out, if there is a
01:00:08.180 next time, the friend
01:00:09.320 will find an
01:00:10.060 opportunity to make a
01:00:10.880 joke about Meatball's
01:00:12.020 crying fit.
01:00:13.200 And then to make a
01:00:13.960 joke about it every
01:00:14.600 time he sees him from
01:00:15.800 here until they die.
01:00:18.240 And it doesn't have
01:00:18.740 to be anything clever,
01:00:19.440 by the way.
01:00:19.780 I mean, just as soon
01:00:21.600 as he sits on the
01:00:23.000 couch, just say like,
01:00:24.380 hey, you're not going
01:00:24.780 to start crying again,
01:00:25.420 are you?
01:00:26.160 Something simple like
01:00:27.500 that just to make sure
01:00:29.160 that you fulfill your
01:00:30.440 duty to give him crap
01:00:31.520 for that because that's
01:00:32.380 what friends do, at
01:00:33.860 least male friends.
01:00:36.040 Now, Meatball relates
01:00:38.140 this experience as proof
01:00:39.220 that men are emotionally
01:00:40.480 deficient.
01:00:41.160 But it's not proof that
01:00:43.040 men are emotionally
01:00:43.620 deficient.
01:00:44.120 It's proof that men
01:00:44.940 are men.
01:00:46.220 Men are not women.
01:00:47.240 They are different,
01:00:48.140 not deficient.
01:00:49.820 They relate to each
01:00:50.780 other differently.
01:00:51.720 They express themselves
01:00:52.780 differently.
01:00:53.800 They have a different
01:00:54.380 way of being and acting
01:00:55.640 in the world because men
01:00:56.600 are men.
01:00:57.520 We are not women.
01:00:59.520 Meatball sees that as a
01:01:00.420 defect and he's not
01:01:01.240 alone.
01:01:01.540 The only reason we're
01:01:02.100 talking about this post
01:01:02.860 by some random guy is
01:01:03.740 that it typifies a
01:01:05.100 prevailing attitude in our
01:01:06.120 culture.
01:01:07.000 This has been the
01:01:07.760 popular consensus among
01:01:08.840 elites in our society.
01:01:09.840 the philosophy that
01:01:10.880 drives most of our
01:01:11.620 institutions for decades
01:01:13.240 now.
01:01:14.320 Men are broken, they say,
01:01:15.560 because they are too
01:01:16.200 much like men and not
01:01:17.560 enough like women.
01:01:19.000 And the way to fix men
01:01:20.040 is to make them like
01:01:21.900 women.
01:01:22.860 A woman is a kind of
01:01:24.140 perfected man by this
01:01:25.580 way of thinking.
01:01:26.800 Which, by the way,
01:01:27.560 explains why trans
01:01:28.440 ideology is so important
01:01:29.440 to these people, but
01:01:29.960 that's a thread we can
01:01:30.600 follow another day.
01:01:31.720 But it's all nonsense,
01:01:32.780 of course.
01:01:33.240 It's extremely harmful
01:01:34.260 nonsense.
01:01:36.020 There is nothing wrong
01:01:37.300 with how men in general
01:01:38.920 relate to each other
01:01:40.520 and express their
01:01:41.280 emotions.
01:01:41.760 We are more stoic.
01:01:43.520 We are the more
01:01:44.500 emotionally reserved
01:01:45.720 sex.
01:01:46.960 That's what we've
01:01:47.700 always been.
01:01:48.860 It's how we're
01:01:49.320 naturally inclined.
01:01:50.340 It's how we're made.
01:01:51.660 It's also how society
01:01:52.980 needs us to be.
01:01:54.740 Society cannot properly
01:01:56.300 function if everyone
01:01:58.000 is dwelling on their
01:01:58.860 emotions all the time.
01:02:00.700 Then no pizza would
01:02:01.780 ever get ordered.
01:02:03.320 So some of us,
01:02:04.120 about half of us,
01:02:04.980 need to be able to
01:02:06.580 shoulder our emotional
01:02:07.740 burdens quietly.
01:02:09.580 Now, that doesn't mean
01:02:10.220 that we don't need
01:02:11.360 support and friendship.
01:02:12.280 It just means that
01:02:12.800 support and friendship
01:02:13.520 are different for us.
01:02:15.480 Male friendships tend
01:02:16.300 to be less intense.
01:02:17.660 They tend to be more
01:02:18.300 relaxed, less needy,
01:02:20.520 less demanding.
01:02:22.920 That's not the wrong way
01:02:24.200 to approach friendships.
01:02:25.140 It's just a different way
01:02:26.380 than how women
01:02:27.480 approach them.
01:02:29.360 I have friends that I've
01:02:31.200 known for 30 years,
01:02:32.580 and these days I see
01:02:33.580 them once a year,
01:02:35.820 maybe twice at most.
01:02:37.440 There are years we go
01:02:38.160 by where I don't see
01:02:38.640 them at all.
01:02:39.160 We never talk on the
01:02:40.000 phone.
01:02:40.580 We might text a few
01:02:41.500 times over the year,
01:02:42.240 usually during football
01:02:42.900 season.
01:02:44.540 I still consider them
01:02:45.480 to be very good friends,
01:02:46.260 and when I see them,
01:02:46.820 it's just like old times.
01:02:47.660 We also spend very
01:02:48.820 little time catching up
01:02:49.940 on each other's
01:02:50.840 personal lives whenever
01:02:51.580 we do see each other,
01:02:52.880 and this is something
01:02:54.020 that my wife doesn't
01:02:56.020 understand.
01:02:56.500 She doesn't understand
01:02:57.340 how I can still
01:02:58.920 consider those guys
01:03:01.000 friends when I so
01:03:02.540 rarely see or speak
01:03:03.620 to them.
01:03:03.960 So if I say,
01:03:05.520 oh, you know,
01:03:06.140 a friend,
01:03:06.600 she'll say,
01:03:06.820 oh, yeah,
01:03:07.060 when's the last time
01:03:07.500 you talked to them?
01:03:08.400 I don't know,
01:03:09.060 2021 maybe.
01:03:12.160 To her,
01:03:12.660 that's like,
01:03:12.920 it doesn't make any
01:03:14.100 sense.
01:03:14.680 She doesn't understand
01:03:15.200 how when I do
01:03:16.740 see and speak to them,
01:03:18.260 we don't end up
01:03:18.820 gabbing the whole time
01:03:19.680 about all the things
01:03:20.460 that happened in our
01:03:21.120 personal lives since
01:03:22.280 we last saw each other.
01:03:23.380 And that's because
01:03:23.840 if my wife goes
01:03:26.800 several weeks,
01:03:27.940 let alone months,
01:03:29.340 without having any
01:03:30.160 contact with somebody
01:03:31.160 she considers a friend,
01:03:32.000 it's like,
01:03:32.560 it's a problem.
01:03:33.940 It's a sign that
01:03:34.700 something has gone
01:03:35.380 wrong.
01:03:36.340 And when they finally
01:03:37.480 do talk again,
01:03:38.420 they'll need to have
01:03:38.900 like a heart to heart
01:03:39.780 about the fact that
01:03:40.720 they weren't talking
01:03:41.480 before.
01:03:43.000 So the fact of them
01:03:45.180 not talking has to be
01:03:46.660 a thing that they
01:03:47.500 talk about before they
01:03:49.080 can talk about anything
01:03:49.820 else.
01:03:50.980 And they'll talk about
01:03:51.760 that and tears might be
01:03:52.660 shed and it'll be a
01:03:53.260 whole thing.
01:03:54.440 And there are women,
01:03:55.400 this is what women do.
01:03:56.860 And that's fine for
01:03:57.660 women,
01:03:57.840 it's healthy for women,
01:03:58.740 but it's not healthy
01:03:59.440 to insist on that kind
01:04:00.440 of behavior in men.
01:04:02.180 Here's how Meatball
01:04:02.940 wraps up his thread.
01:04:03.940 Quote,
01:04:04.460 I mostly just pity men
01:04:05.680 at the not sure how I
01:04:07.080 feel about my divorce
01:04:08.040 levels of emotional
01:04:08.840 intelligence.
01:04:09.560 They're not dumb,
01:04:10.460 they're confused.
01:04:11.420 They lack the tools
01:04:12.260 to introspect.
01:04:13.600 They were never taught.
01:04:14.840 The emotions are just
01:04:15.580 going to sit in the
01:04:16.420 pressure cooker in
01:04:17.120 their heart,
01:04:17.640 maybe forever.
01:04:18.880 Society tells men to
01:04:19.800 suppress their feelings.
01:04:21.420 Women demand go to
01:04:22.300 therapy,
01:04:22.740 but female modes of
01:04:23.500 expression are alienating
01:04:24.600 to men.
01:04:25.680 All the other men in
01:04:26.640 your life are just as
01:04:27.480 confused because if
01:04:28.620 talking about the NBA
01:04:29.620 isn't helping,
01:04:30.300 they're out of ideas.
01:04:31.000 No wonder guys feel
01:04:32.460 nothing.
01:04:33.460 Where can men go to
01:04:34.320 learn how to feel things
01:04:35.320 and support each other?
01:04:36.600 Fraternal orders like
01:04:37.440 the Masons or Elks,
01:04:38.600 dead,
01:04:39.320 church religion,
01:04:40.300 dead,
01:04:41.020 strong,
01:04:41.600 vulnerable men don't
01:04:42.440 exist in media.
01:04:43.560 Clubs,
01:04:44.000 third spaces,
01:04:44.720 military,
01:04:45.240 dead,
01:04:45.460 dead,
01:04:45.640 dead.
01:04:46.500 Men unable to feel
01:04:47.320 their feelings live
01:04:48.080 confused lives,
01:04:49.060 inflicting others,
01:04:49.940 especially women,
01:04:50.660 with the burden of
01:04:51.380 feeling things for
01:04:52.200 them or compensating
01:04:53.100 for their total lack
01:04:53.960 of self-awareness.
01:04:54.560 We need dedicated
01:04:55.960 spaces for men to
01:04:57.020 build emotional
01:04:57.880 intelligence.
01:04:58.840 Where are they?
01:05:00.240 Now he's right.
01:05:01.500 Many of the spaces he
01:05:02.420 mentioned are dead.
01:05:04.480 Male spaces are
01:05:06.020 largely dead precisely
01:05:08.160 because they all
01:05:08.920 became feminized.
01:05:10.600 Now he sees the
01:05:11.480 feminization of male
01:05:12.440 spaces as the solution
01:05:13.820 when in fact it's
01:05:15.040 exactly the problem.
01:05:16.720 Elk lodges,
01:05:17.620 bowling clubs,
01:05:18.420 cigar lounges,
01:05:19.160 I mean there are still
01:05:19.700 cigar lounges,
01:05:20.400 thank God,
01:05:20.720 but for the most
01:05:23.320 part none of these
01:05:23.960 traditionally male
01:05:24.760 spaces were ever
01:05:25.520 designed to help
01:05:27.060 men build emotional
01:05:28.260 intelligence or learn
01:05:29.580 how to feel things.
01:05:31.780 Your grandpa,
01:05:33.260 whoever,
01:05:33.560 never went to the
01:05:34.160 Elk Lodge because
01:05:35.580 he wanted to learn
01:05:36.260 how to feel things.
01:05:38.320 These were designed
01:05:39.280 as places where men
01:05:40.400 could be how they
01:05:41.420 are without any
01:05:42.220 womanly lectures.
01:05:43.460 But now there's
01:05:44.380 nowhere to go to
01:05:45.320 escape the womanly
01:05:46.100 lectures.
01:05:46.520 Every space has been
01:05:47.620 overtaken by scolding
01:05:49.340 women and men who
01:05:50.660 act like scolding
01:05:51.660 women.
01:05:52.800 Every space has to
01:05:54.340 cater to women.
01:05:56.060 That's the world we
01:05:56.660 live in now.
01:05:57.540 There is no place
01:05:58.380 that's allowed to
01:05:59.040 not cater to women.
01:06:02.020 The let boys be
01:06:03.540 boys philosophy is
01:06:04.840 dead.
01:06:05.880 It's deader than the
01:06:06.840 lodges and the
01:06:07.440 bowling clubs.
01:06:09.160 Replaced with a
01:06:09.920 very different mindset
01:06:10.940 which is now make
01:06:12.280 boys be girls.
01:06:14.540 And some men,
01:06:15.560 like our friend
01:06:15.920 Meatball,
01:06:16.380 have taken that
01:06:17.140 call very much to
01:06:18.020 heart.
01:06:18.980 And that is why
01:06:19.540 they are all today
01:06:20.620 canceled.
01:06:22.480 That's it for the
01:06:23.020 show today.
01:06:23.340 Thanks for watching.
01:06:23.840 Thanks for listening.
01:06:24.360 Talk to you tomorrow.
01:06:25.380 Have a great day.
01:06:26.280 Godspeed.
01:06:26.560 the
01:06:31.040 good food.
01:06:33.060 you
01:06:33.660 you
01:06:33.980 you
01:06:35.120 you
01:06:36.300 you
01:06:42.220 you
01:06:43.280 you
01:06:44.180 you
01:06:44.620 you
