The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1391 - Anti-Human Eco Brats Deface One Of The Oldest Monuments On Earth

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the anti-human climate alarmist brats are at it again. 1.00

00:00:03.900 This time they defaced one of the oldest and most historically significant monuments on the planet.

00:00:08.140 These people don't love the planet. They just hate humanity.

00:00:10.880 Also, Louisiana is mandating a copy of the Ten Commandments for every classroom in the state.

00:00:15.280 The usual suspects are claiming this is an attack on the First Amendment.

00:00:18.060 I'll explain why that's ridiculous.

00:00:19.800 And the biohacking movement continues to grow.

00:00:22.340 These are people who think that dying is a choice rather than an inevitable fact of human existence.

00:00:26.700 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:01:56.560 Here's a little bit of ancient history that's suddenly become relevant again.

00:02:00.000 39 years ago this month, just ahead of the summer solstice,

00:02:03.180 the Battle of the Beanfield took place in Wiltshire, England.

00:02:07.660 Now this wasn't a battle in the traditional military sense.

00:02:10.420 It was a violent confrontation between a convoy of around 600 New Age hippies and roughly 1,000 police officers.

00:02:17.620 The police officers were there to enforce an injunction preventing the hippies from holding a festival at Stonehenge.

00:02:23.620 The injunction was necessary because just one year earlier, around 100,000 hippies had, as hippies tend to do,

00:02:30.800 caused tens of thousands of dollars in property damage to trees, fences, and several archaeological artifacts in the area,

00:02:36.820 including Stonehenge itself.

00:02:38.100 So in 1985, the authorities understandably wanted to prevent any more hippie carnage from being inflicted on Stonehenge,

00:02:44.620 and they set up a roadblock several miles away to turn the New Age travelers, quote-unquote, away.

00:02:50.620 And that's when, according to the BBC, quote,

00:02:52.900 police said they came under attack, being pelted with lumps of wood, stones, and even petrol bombs.

00:02:58.400 Of course, to this day, the hippies maintain that the police were the aggressors.

00:03:01.920 That's probably not true, but it certainly appears the police officers used significant force once mayhem broke out.

00:03:07.320 At one point, the police reportedly threw fire extinguishers and stones at the hippies to keep them from fleeing.

00:03:14.420 And in any event, ultimately, two dozen people were hospitalized, more than 500 hippies were arrested,

00:03:19.380 and by most accounts, the Battle of the Beanfield marked the single largest mass arrest in the history of England, at least since World War II.

00:03:27.860 Now, I'm opening with the Battle of the Beanfield because it's, well, it's just interesting trivia, but it also illustrates a couple of things.

00:03:34.040 First of all, it demonstrates an obvious point, which is that the use of force by police officers does indeed deter lawlessness.

00:03:40.020 You don't have to endorse all the tactics the police used that day in order to see that.

00:03:44.160 In the years after the Battle of the Beanfield, there were still some hippies who tried to throw a festival at Stonehenge for the summer solstice,

00:03:50.040 but it was nothing like what happened in 1985.

00:03:53.120 For the most part, the hippies got the message loud and clear and were whipped into shape.

00:03:58.160 But the other important takeaway is that, for whatever reason, Stonehenge has long been an object of fixation for antisocial,

00:04:05.300 anti-civilization, anti-human weirdos.

00:04:08.400 And most likely, interest stems from the mystique of Stonehenge.

00:04:12.320 Stonehenge was constructed more than 5,000 years ago without the benefit of the wheel,

00:04:16.760 and it's still unclear to archaeologists exactly how the builders pulled that off,

00:04:21.020 or even who exactly the builders were.

00:04:23.020 It's one of the most impressive monuments ever built in human history.

00:04:25.960 And so it kind of makes sense that listless, uninteresting people would latch on to Stonehenge

00:04:30.540 in a desperate attempt to imbue their own lives with more meaning.

00:04:35.180 And that brings us to the events that took place at Stonehenge yesterday.

00:04:38.080 A couple of vandals associated with the group Just Stop Oil, one aged 73, the other aged 21,

00:04:44.140 charged towards Stonehenge and began blanking it with some kind of orange powder paint.

00:04:50.800 Watch.

00:04:51.120 They're all made by Sunhenge.

00:05:11.060 Step up!

00:05:15.760 Step up!

00:05:17.540 Step up!

00:05:18.000 Damned hippies.

00:05:22.920 You know, there are people who think that Stonehenge has some sort of mystical power to it,

00:05:27.040 and I think that it doesn't, because by now, it would have put a curse on all the hippies

00:05:32.380 that they keep harassing it.

00:05:35.600 Maybe it has.

00:05:36.560 Maybe that's why they're hippies, actually.

00:05:39.340 That's an interesting theory.

00:05:40.340 Anyway, as you can see, it fell to a tourist to stop these two people from defacing Stonehenge.

00:05:45.240 There were no police officers nearby to immediately detain them,

00:05:47.320 so a random guy on vacation had to step up to preserve one of the most famous structures in the entire world.

00:05:52.400 And we've seen this again and again.

00:05:53.460 When vandals dumped pink powder on the case containing the U.S. Constitution at the National Archives Rotunda in February,

00:06:00.040 no security guards lifted a finger to stop them.

00:06:02.820 Late last year, activists with Just Stop Oil were able to throw soup on a Van Gogh painting,

00:06:07.280 then glue themselves to the wall, all without anybody intervening.

00:06:10.540 And of course, on too many occasions to count, these kinds of activists have obstructed traffic with impunity.

00:06:15.460 They get away with it so consistently because at some level, they have the tacit endorsement of the state.

00:06:21.120 Now, I've talked extensively about these brats before on the show. 0.58

00:06:25.640 But even with all those other incidents in mind, to me, this latest attack on Stonehenge is especially egregious.

00:06:34.800 Defacing a monument as ancient as Stonehenge, it's really an attack on humanity.

00:06:41.200 I mean, defacing any monument, any work of art is an attack on humanity.

00:06:46.220 But when it's something as ancient as this, it just becomes, again, all the more egregious.

00:06:51.080 The fact that Stonehenge is still standing is a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness that's hard to comprehend, even to this day.

00:06:58.700 That's why there's so much mystery surrounding it thousands of years later.

00:07:02.880 The only people who'd want to deface or destroy Stonehenge and erase the evidence of humanity's accomplishments

00:07:08.140 are people who despise humanity itself.

00:07:12.240 Now, it's the same reason why climate activists want everyone to stop having children.

00:07:15.660 It's the same reason they want to end fossil fuels and crash the global economy. 0.89

00:07:20.400 They're not really concerned about global temperatures rising by a degree or two.

00:07:23.760 They want humanity to go extinct.

00:07:26.640 In comments to the media, Just Stop Oil has denied all this.

00:07:29.320 They've claimed that this orange cornflower paint is going to wash away in the rain, so it's not really vandalism.

00:07:36.280 Of course, Just Stop Oil has made that same claim before when they vandalized several other monuments, and it turned out to be false.

00:07:42.520 And additionally, there are apparently 80 species of lichen on Stonehenge that might be dead now, including rare species that scientists want to preserve.

00:07:49.960 They're still trying to figure out the precise extent of the damage.

00:07:52.080 And even if it does all wash away, they still have no right to use an ancient monument as a platform for their delusional political statements.

00:07:58.700 So even if the paint does come off, the point remains the same.

00:08:02.720 These activists are fundamentally anti-human, and they're becoming increasingly emboldened.

00:08:07.580 In a video message, the 21-year-old Stonehenge attacker, who apparently, and not surprisingly, identifies as non-binary,

00:08:14.540 explained why they, them, Zimzer, decided to deface the monument.

00:08:21.720 Watch.

00:08:23.100 My name's Nev. I'm 21, and I'm a student at the University of Oxford.

00:08:27.260 Today, I'm taking action with Just Stop Oil to demand that the UK government commits to signing the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty

00:08:34.240 and promises to stop burning fossil fuels by 2030.

00:08:37.680 To refuse to do so is to warrant death, destruction, and suffering on an absolutely immense and immeasurable scale.

00:08:46.840 Today, we'll be taking action at Stonehenge the day before the solstice.

00:08:52.140 Okay, so a few things to note here.

00:08:54.220 First of all, there's something that physicians refer to as the gestalt,

00:08:59.820 the gestalt that includes a person's general appearance, tone of voice, etc.

00:09:04.140 And it's a little bit concerning here.

00:09:05.520 First of all, this person is whispering for some reason, which comes off as a little unsettled,

00:09:10.080 probably because, you know, the parents are in the next room, we could probably assume.

00:09:14.800 On top of that, this non-binary activist is also wearing a Patagonia shirt,

00:09:19.260 even though Patagonia admits on its website that its vast array of suppliers, by necessity,

00:09:24.400 rely on fossil fuels to conduct operations.

00:09:26.940 They emit something like 200,000 metric tons of CO2 every year.

00:09:31.160 So I guess we're meant to conclude that ending fossil fuels is important,

00:09:34.620 except when non-binary University of Oxford students need a nice sweater vest or t-shirt.

00:09:39.600 Then the fossil fuels are okay.

00:09:41.600 Of course, every accusation is really an admission with these people.

00:09:44.020 And when these activists warn of death and destruction and devastation on an immeasurable scale,

00:09:48.800 they're actually revealing precisely what groups like Just Stop Oil want to happen.

00:09:52.380 It's what they know will happen if Western nations did stop producing fossil fuels,

00:09:57.800 which supply an overwhelming majority of the world's energy.

00:10:00.520 We'd be taken over by China in about a week. 1.00

00:10:03.620 Civilization as we know it would come to an end.

00:10:06.620 For some reason, that appears to be what significant number of young people now want to happen.

00:10:10.700 They've been indoctrinated into what is clearly a nihilistic death cult.

00:10:15.340 And on social media, many of these young people are now celebrating what just happened at Stonehenge.

00:10:21.020 On Twitter, Ollie London posted an image of a blue-haired British archaeologist with she-they pronouns

00:10:26.620 who wrote that the attack was, quote, well done.

00:10:30.280 This is an archaeologist who says, well done,

00:10:33.900 when someone defaces one of the most important archaeological sites on the planet.

00:10:39.380 More than 10,000 people liked that particular tweet,

00:10:42.220 which gives you some indication of how popular the sentiment is.

00:10:45.340 Now, it's not hard to see why this is becoming a trend.

00:10:47.740 For one thing, there's a lot of money in it.

00:10:50.560 As Fox News reported late last year,

00:10:52.380 the Beverly Hills California-based Climate Emergency Fund, or CEF,

00:10:56.860 sent roughly $4 million in grants overseas in 2022 alone.

00:11:00.320 Quote, the most sizable slice of these grants was wired to UK climate activists.

00:11:05.640 The largest beneficiary of CEF's funds appeared to be Just Stop Oil,

00:11:09.140 a British activist group that has repeatedly made headlines for stopping traffics

00:11:12.880 and disrupting public places across the UK.

00:11:15.340 And that is just one dark money group based in the United States of others.

00:11:20.840 So that amateur quality creepy video you just saw from the non-binary activists 1.00

00:11:25.060 may have been amateurish on purpose.

00:11:27.300 In reality, Just Stop Oil is an extremely well-funded operation.

00:11:30.640 They could have sprung for better production quality if they wanted to,

00:11:33.220 but they don't because the impression that this is some sort of grassroots organic movement,

00:11:42.160 that's part of the performance here.

00:11:44.220 But it is all a performance.

00:11:46.760 So-called environmental activism is, in fact, a very big business.

00:11:50.220 And a lot of people are making a lot of money on it from sources that we can't identify.

00:11:56.440 That could be one reason the whole movement is attractive to young people,

00:11:58.860 many of whom are now looking for jobs.

00:12:01.400 On top of that, of course, government officials all over the world have become propagandists

00:12:04.580 who indoctrinate young people as a matter of course.

00:12:07.620 Here, for example, is New York Governor Kathy Hochul warning of an impending heat emergency

00:12:12.440 in the city.

00:12:14.000 Very scary stuff.

00:12:14.900 Watch.

00:12:15.060 This is not a natural hot weather stretch for us here in the state of New York, especially upstate.

00:12:21.820 But we are going to be seeing temperatures at levels we have not seen in our lifetimes.

00:12:27.100 And I want to update New Yorkers on what we're doing about this significant public health event.

00:12:33.100 Right now, everywhere north of New York City is under a heat advisory, and it's only going to get worse.

00:12:38.440 Starting today in the Genesee Valley and the Finger Lakes, and starting tomorrow,

00:12:43.980 extreme heat will hit everywhere in the great state of New York.

00:12:47.880 Now, what does this mean?

00:12:49.400 It's a dangerous mix of high temperatures and extreme humidity,

00:12:54.560 causing feels like temperature of over 100 degrees.

00:12:59.680 Now, that's hot.

00:13:00.420 Now, the central claim that Kathy Hochul is making that New York has never before seen temperatures

00:13:08.080 that feel like 100 degrees is completely false.

00:13:10.400 It's so obviously false that you can disprove it with about five seconds of Googling.

00:13:13.840 According to the National Weather Service, the highest temperature ever recorded in New York City's Central Park

00:13:17.500 was 106 degrees Fahrenheit all the way back in July of 1936.

00:13:22.740 And that's the actual temperature, not the heat index.

00:13:25.600 Before that, there was a heat wave in 1896 that killed more than 1,000 people

00:13:29.280 as temperatures exceeded 90 degrees.

00:13:31.580 The National Weather Service reports that the warmest month on record in New York

00:13:34.500 was all the way back in July of 1999.

00:13:37.280 And in several years since, New York has hit 100 degrees on several occasions.

00:13:41.340 Also, you know, it's the summertime, and so it gets hot in the summer.

00:13:46.120 And there's a reason why we always see the renewed push for climate alarmism in the summer,

00:13:52.140 because that's when it gets hot, because it's supposed to be hot, because it's the summer.

00:13:56.200 So what Kathy Hochul is saying is wrong for about a million reasons,

00:14:01.420 but she said it anyway because she knows it's effective.

00:14:04.160 People hear what she's saying, especially young people, and they believe it. 1.00

00:14:08.880 And they become panicked.

00:14:10.940 They think that we really are headed towards some sort of apocalypse.

00:14:14.480 They become activists and loyal voters for the Democrats.

00:14:16.840 And unless they're met with force, as they were at the Battle of the Beanfield,

00:14:22.140 some of those activists will continue to face priceless historical artifacts

00:14:25.800 to attract attention to their nihilistic death cult.

00:14:28.960 They'll continue to block roadways, preventing people from going to work,

00:14:32.800 preventing ambulances from transporting patients.

00:14:37.420 Appeasing these cultists simply does not work.

00:14:40.580 Letting them do whatever they want obviously does not work.

00:14:44.080 That much is now very clear.

00:14:47.820 If we want to have any monuments or any history left at all,

00:14:50.540 we need to take the threat as seriously as the British did in 1985 and shut them down.

00:15:57.720 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:15:58.780 Here's something to celebrate for a change, something to be happy about.

00:16:09.960 AP reports, although the AP is not happy.

00:16:13.160 Louisiana has become the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom.

00:16:18.340 The latest move from a GOP-dominated legislature pushing a conservative agenda under a new governor.

00:16:24.380 Can you imagine that?

00:16:26.900 The media is shocked and appalled.

00:16:29.560 To have Republican legislatures that are actually pushing Republican agendas.

00:16:35.900 And it is shocking.

00:16:37.220 We're not used to this kind of thing.

00:16:38.860 Historically, Republican legislatures don't push Republican agendas.

00:16:43.320 So anytime you see it happen, you're taken aback by it.

00:16:46.680 The legislation that Republican Governor Jeff Landry signed into law on Wednesday requires a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in large, easily readable font in all public classrooms, from kindergarten to state-funded universities.

00:17:01.020 Landry said, if you want to respect the rule of law, you've got to start with the original lawgiver, which was Moses.

00:17:08.020 Opponents questioned the law's constitutionality and vowed to challenge it in court.

00:17:12.840 Proponents said the measure is not solely religious, but that it has historical significance.

00:17:17.240 In the language of the law, the Ten Commandments are foundational documents of our state and national government.

00:17:23.600 The posters, which will be paired with a four-paragraph context statement describing how the Ten Commandments were a prominent part of the American public education for almost three centuries, must be in place in classrooms by the start of 2025.

00:17:34.300 And also, worth noting, under the law, state funds will not be used to implement the mandate.

00:17:40.780 The posters would be paid for through donations.

00:17:48.080 So the law also authorizes, but does not require, the display of other items in K-12 public schools, including the Mayflower Compact, which was signed by religious pilgrims aboard the Mayflower in 1620.

00:17:58.520 It's often referred to as America's first constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Northwest Ordinance, which established a government in Northwest Territory, and created a pathway for admitting new states to the Union.

00:18:08.820 So you can display that.

00:18:11.300 You don't have to, but you do have to display the Ten Commandments.

00:18:14.760 So this will obviously be challenged in court.

00:18:18.220 Will it survive the court challenges?

00:18:20.180 I don't know.

00:18:21.240 It'll be a tough road given the makeup of the courts.

00:18:25.960 Should it survive the challenges?

00:18:27.480 Yes, of course it should.

00:18:31.100 Now, as you would expect, and as mentioned in the article, people are upset about this policy, and that's not surprising, but it makes a lot of sense.

00:18:42.600 And it certainly makes a hell of a lot more sense to have the Ten Commandments in classrooms than to have, say, pride flags and all of that kind of nonsense.

00:18:50.720 Because the Ten Commandments serve as the Ten Commandments serve as the moral foundation for our system of law, not just ours, but all of Western civilization.

00:19:03.640 So even if you look at them from a purely secular perspective, from that point of view, you would have to at least acknowledge that they are the most influential set of rules or laws ever set down.

00:19:17.640 I mean, there's no doubt about it.

00:19:21.120 So they are highly relevant from an historical perspective, from a legal perspective, from an anthropological perspective.

00:19:29.280 And that's, again, without even getting into the biblical, moral, spiritual perspective.

00:19:37.340 And all of that means that it's relevant from an educational perspective.

00:19:45.260 Because history, the law, anthropology, all of these things are supposed to be part of a child's education.

00:19:53.900 Every child in school should know the Ten Commandments.

00:19:56.020 In order to be literate and to possess the most basic knowledge of history and human society, you need to know the Ten Commandments.

00:20:07.100 So it should be a part of a child's education.

00:20:13.620 Now, compare this again to, for example, pride flags.

00:20:17.880 Most of the people who oppose Ten Commandments in the classroom support having pride flags in the classroom.

00:20:23.540 And this is an important comparison because, you know, the reality probably is that, and I don't know if this is the case.

00:20:35.240 It doesn't need to, this, that putting the Ten Commandments in the classroom does not need to be a response to anything that the left is doing.

00:20:43.040 It's a good idea on its own terms.

00:20:44.900 But I also think it's highly likely that if the left had not spent the last many years going massively overboard, trying to inject even the most radical elements of their ideological agenda into the classroom,

00:21:03.100 if they had not done that, then, I don't know, would Louisiana have passed this law?

00:21:10.720 Well, again, they, they, they should regardless.

00:21:16.280 But, um, I think there is also an attitude from some on the right, which I totally understand, of course.

00:21:25.880 Which is that, okay, if this is what you guys are going to do, if this is how you want to play it, you know, if you're going to put pride flags in the classroom,

00:21:34.120 then we're putting the Ten Commandments in the classroom.

00:21:38.980 Um, and there's a much better argument, of course, for the Ten Commandments than pride flags.

00:21:47.060 What's the value of a pride flag or any kind of gay pride paraphernalia in the classroom?

00:21:52.260 What's the value?

00:21:53.140 What's the educational value?

00:21:54.880 Does the concept of gay pride have any real historical relevance?

00:22:00.060 It doesn't.

00:22:00.840 It, it, it's only, like, five minutes ago that anyone ever talked about gay pride.

00:22:07.020 The, the, the concept.

00:22:10.420 Okay, mid-20th century at the earliest is how, is as far as you can go back.

00:22:15.820 You go any farther back than that and you, you go to anybody and you talk about gay pride,

00:22:19.440 they would look at you like, what do you, they wouldn't even understand what you're saying.

00:22:23.780 So, does it serve as the foundation for anything in our society?

00:22:29.240 Is there any real academic value to children learning about the pride flag and what it means?

00:22:39.420 You know, if you meet a child who can tell you all about the pride flag and rattle off the history of it

00:22:44.200 and point to the different colors and tell you what they stand for,

00:22:47.640 if you meet a child who is in that unfortunate position where they know all that stuff,

00:22:52.420 is that an indication that this is a really well-educated child?

00:22:58.360 No.

00:23:03.220 Can a child be literate and well-informed and educated and yet not know anything about the pride flag?

00:23:10.560 Yes.

00:23:10.900 So, it's pretty clear which of the two wins out in this contest.

00:23:19.680 As opposed to, a child gets through public schooling and graduates,

00:23:26.200 and if he doesn't know anything about the Bible, if he cannot tell you what the Ten Commandments are,

00:23:35.020 can't even give you five of the ten or something, can't tell you anything about the Bible,

00:23:40.580 well, then that tells you that his education was sorely lacking.

00:23:45.900 There's a basic level of literacy and historical understanding that he lacks.

00:23:52.840 Now, does it violate the First Amendment to have the Ten Commandments in the classroom?

00:24:02.960 My answer to that is, are you stupid?

00:24:07.500 What kind of question is that?

00:24:10.620 I know they're going to be able to find activist judges who say,

00:24:13.440 oh, this is an infringement on the First Amendment.

00:24:16.180 I know that's going to happen.

00:24:18.920 But it's still stupid.

00:24:20.260 Of course, it does not violate the First Amendment.

00:24:24.880 You know, the First Amendment, what does the First Amendment, when it comes to religion,

00:24:30.020 what prohibitions or restrictions does the First Amendment put on the government?

00:24:36.700 Well, there's one.

00:24:37.660 It forbids Congress from making a law respecting the establishment of religion.

00:24:43.640 That's what the First Amendment does. 0.99

00:24:44.880 So, we have to ask ourselves, the Louisiana legislature, is it Congress?

00:24:53.300 No.

00:24:54.740 Did they pass a law respecting an establishment of religion or imposing a state religion?

00:25:00.720 No.

00:25:01.060 So, it's got nothing to do with the First Amendment.

00:25:09.440 It is not any kind of infringement on the First Amendment.

00:25:11.920 I know in recent times, we have been told that really the First Amendment means that religion cannot be acknowledged,

00:25:25.340 can't even be acknowledged in any kind of public setting,

00:25:29.640 particularly in any kind of setting where the government is,

00:25:31.680 the way we look at it now is, according to the First Amendment,

00:25:35.880 this is probably, if you talk to the average person, you ask them, like,

00:25:38.420 well, what does the First Amendment say about religion?

00:25:40.700 What restrictions are there?

00:25:44.640 And they would probably tell you this.

00:25:46.080 They would probably tell you that basically the First Amendment says,

00:25:49.180 because they couldn't quote it to you,

00:25:50.200 but they'd tell you that, you know, basically the First Amendment says that the government can't say anything about it,

00:25:53.860 can't even, can't acknowledge religion.

00:25:55.460 It's like religion doesn't exist as far as the government's concerned.

00:25:57.640 But that is not the case.

00:26:05.200 And the good news here also is that the Ten Commandments are a part of multiple major world religions.

00:26:13.920 So that's all the more reason why Louisiana cannot be accused of establishing or respecting a, you know,

00:26:23.800 imposing a state religion.

00:26:26.820 That's clearly not happening.

00:26:30.120 All they're really imposing, if anything,

00:26:33.580 is a well-rounded education on children who are in the public school system.

00:26:41.420 Children who will now, because of the Ten Commandments being in the classroom,

00:26:46.040 you know, will now be exposed to such, you know,

00:26:52.000 controversial and provocative ideas such as, like, don't kill people.

00:26:59.020 Respect your parents.

00:27:01.720 Don't steal.

00:27:02.520 These are the provocative, outrageous, controversial ideas that the left is now worried kids might be exposed to.

00:27:11.520 They're going to be confused.

00:27:14.960 And they might be confused.

00:27:16.780 It might create some awkward questions for some of these kids.

00:27:19.820 And that's a good thing if it gets them thinking.

00:27:22.120 Who knows?

00:27:25.920 Maybe some of them will come home and they'll say,

00:27:27.500 hey, I saw the Ten Commandments in the classroom.

00:27:30.040 It says, thou shalt not kill.

00:27:33.300 But you, mom, told me that abortion is okay. 0.98

00:27:38.120 How does that work?

00:27:41.600 Maybe it will get some of the kids to ask those questions to their parents.

00:27:45.880 Questions those parents will not be able to answer.

00:27:47.420 Speaking of pride flags, as we were a moment ago, here's USA Today.

00:27:56.000 Happy pride from the White House.

00:27:58.460 Well, the Eisenhower Executive Office Building adjacent to the West Wing,

00:28:01.220 where Vice President Kamal Harris was busy queering up the nation's capital Thursday.

00:28:07.120 Harris chatted with the creators and cast of Queer Eye,

00:28:10.540 both Bravo's original Queer Eye from the Straight Guy series and Netflix's revamped Queer Eye,

00:28:15.100 in honor of the show's approximately 20th anniversary.

00:28:20.200 So this show's still on the air and it's been on for 20 years.

00:28:24.360 So the cast of Queer Eye showed up at the White House.

00:28:28.460 And here's one of the many videos that they posted.

00:28:33.960 We see them walking across the White House lawn and meeting the First Lady,

00:28:37.360 or rather the, whatever she is, the Vice President. 0.99

00:28:39.760 Let's watch.

00:28:45.100 Can we talk about it?

00:28:52.900 Yes.

00:28:59.360 Just so you know, we're going to fight every urge not to open drawers,

00:29:02.540 and it's in our DNA.

00:29:03.760 See, there's John Lewis.

00:29:04.840 Yeah.

00:29:05.140 So there we are on the Edmund Pestridge deck.

00:29:06.740 Oh, wow.

00:29:07.700 Honey, I'm not mad at my president.

00:29:17.900 Okay, so you see the guy there wearing a dress,

00:29:20.640 and this is, as far as I know, a guy who identifies as a guy.

00:29:25.800 Not that it matters, but as far as I'm aware,

00:29:29.140 he's not even trying to present himself as female or whatever.

00:29:32.940 He's just wearing a dress because he wants to, wearing it to the White House.

00:29:39.080 And Kamala Harris has to pretend to take him seriously dressed like that. 1.00

00:29:43.260 You know, we're always told, of course, that it's just a social construct

00:29:45.980 that says that men shouldn't wear dresses, right? 0.87

00:29:50.520 This is what they tell us.

00:29:51.620 Well, who says that men shouldn't wear dresses? 1.00

00:29:53.340 It's a social construct.

00:29:54.200 Society just came up with that arbitrarily.

00:29:56.760 It's artificial.

00:29:58.300 There's no actual, real reason why dresses are womanly, is what we're told. 0.98

00:30:04.580 Well, the funny thing is that any man who tries to prove that theory

00:30:08.940 will always inevitably wind up proving the opposite.

00:30:13.560 Because when you see men dressed like this,

00:30:15.600 it's extremely clear that these sorts of outfits are not meant for men to wear.

00:30:21.540 Okay, nobody looks at that and thinks that it looks good.

00:30:24.220 Nobody does.

00:30:24.660 Nobody sees a man in a dress and really honestly thinks in their own minds,

00:30:29.380 wow, that looks great.

00:30:31.540 Not, nobody does.

00:30:32.960 It's awkward.

00:30:33.760 We all know that it's awkward.

00:30:34.960 An alien from another planet could land here

00:30:38.480 having no knowledge of any of our social constructs

00:30:41.580 and they would see that outfit and they would say,

00:30:44.060 what's going on here?

00:30:45.140 What the hell is that guy wearing?

00:30:47.140 So we all know that.

00:30:48.720 This guy kept parading himself around like this at the White House.

00:30:51.460 Here he is in the briefing room talking to reporters.

00:30:56.180 Hey, everyone to the White House.

00:30:58.620 I'd like to briefly answer some questions.

00:31:01.520 Go ahead.

00:31:02.160 I'm ready.

00:31:02.720 JVN.

00:31:03.280 Oh, yes.

00:31:04.100 Is it true that is all your natural hair?

00:31:06.880 Yes, I can confirm that this is not a wig.

00:31:08.860 Follow up question.

00:31:09.760 Do you use your own products?

00:31:11.060 I do use JVN hair actually exclusively for over four years.

00:31:14.480 Next question.

00:31:16.820 Is it true Karamo is your favorite member of the Fat Five?

00:31:20.220 I can confirm that Karamo Brown is my favorite member of the Fat Five.

00:31:24.960 I also have a very strict rule that if I'm only with one of our castmates,

00:31:28.440 they are in fact my favorite.

00:31:29.780 Yeah.

00:31:34.460 Well, hey, it's just the White House.

00:31:36.340 I mean, why not turn it into a complete mockery?

00:31:39.220 I'm actually quite glad that they're doing this.

00:31:41.420 I think it's great.

00:31:43.140 Please continue.

00:31:44.320 Please do more of this kind of thing.

00:31:48.380 What was the phrase that the USA Today article used?

00:31:51.220 Queering up the White House.

00:31:52.260 That's not my phrase.

00:31:53.480 That's not my phrase.

00:31:55.720 That is USA Today.

00:31:57.480 Very happy about this.

00:31:58.320 And they said queering up the nation's capital.

00:32:01.140 So to borrow a phrase, yeah, go ahead and continue queering up the nation's capital

00:32:07.880 a few months out from the election.

00:32:12.920 Yes, please do.

00:32:14.200 Please spend the next few months pulling stunts like this.

00:32:17.000 Invite as many men in dresses as you want. 0.95

00:32:20.840 Do as many TikTok videos celebrating the queering of the White House as you want to do. 0.80

00:32:27.520 Let voters see this.

00:32:29.640 Let them decide if they want more of this or not.

00:32:33.420 Because I think that most voters will check the not box on this one.

00:32:38.580 People want normal.

00:32:40.500 Okay, do you know what people really want the most?

00:32:42.580 They want normal.

00:32:44.360 That's the thing people want.

00:32:46.760 They just want things to be normal again.

00:32:48.540 Really, I don't care what the polls say, the surveys, what people's top priorities are.

00:32:56.280 This is a question that's not generally asked in polls.

00:33:01.700 But I'm telling you what people want the most.

00:33:05.180 They just want to live in a normal country again.

00:33:09.000 And that's what they want.

00:33:11.420 Right?

00:33:11.760 And that's what they want.

00:33:13.080 That's the country they want their kids to live in.

00:33:15.500 And they want to be governed by just serious people who take their job seriously.

00:33:25.580 And the side that parades men in dresses around at the White House, well, that cannot be the side that represents normalcy.

00:33:31.080 That's for sure.

00:33:33.460 They don't even pretend to.

00:33:34.620 I mean, this is a side that uses terms like normative as a pejorative.

00:33:39.760 This is a side that opposes normalcy.

00:33:41.980 They militate against normalcy.

00:33:45.500 They see normalcy as a bad thing.

00:33:50.160 The whole reason why they celebrate a man wearing a dress is that it is not normal.

00:33:56.100 So it's not me saying it's not normal.

00:33:58.200 They would say, yeah, you're damn right it's not normal.

00:34:01.720 What's so great about normal?

00:34:04.240 We want more abnormal.

00:34:05.760 So that's what they want.

00:34:07.040 It's abnormal versus normal.

00:34:14.900 And again, that's the whole reason they do this.

00:34:16.860 They don't want normal.

00:34:17.880 They hate normal.

00:34:18.620 And I think it's good that they hate normal as publicly and loudly and obviously and obnoxiously as possible for the next few months.

00:34:29.320 Let's see.

00:34:34.060 It's from Reuters.

00:34:35.440 U.S. Senators on Tuesday attacked the CEO of Boeing for the planemaker's tarnished safety record, overshadowing his apology to families who lost loved ones in two 737 MAX crashes and acceptance responsibility after January midair emergency.

00:34:50.800 Chief Executive David Calhoun faced repeated questions about how much he's paid, Boeing's safety culture, and why he is not immediately resigning instead of retiring by year's end.

00:35:03.940 This is at a hearing before the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.

00:35:07.240 We have, I think we have one clip from this.

00:35:12.240 This is Josh Hawley, who's interrogating the CEO of Boeing, especially about how much he's paid about his compensation, which is quite, as you might expect, is quite sizable.

00:35:24.260 Let's listen to that.

00:35:26.020 What is it that you get paid currently?

00:35:29.940 Senator, that's well disclosed in our proxy documents in each of the years that I've been employed.

00:35:35.880 Yeah, but what is it?

00:35:37.720 That's a big number, sir.

00:35:39.200 Well, let me help you out.

00:35:40.380 It's $32.8 million this year.

00:35:42.040 Does that sound right?

00:35:43.300 Yes, it does.

00:35:44.180 That's a 45% increase over last year.

00:35:47.060 Does that sound right?

00:35:48.660 Yes, it does.

00:35:49.640 What is it you get paid to do, exactly?

00:35:52.460 I get paid to run the Boeing company.

00:35:54.540 Yeah.

00:35:55.220 So just help me understand that.

00:35:57.260 I mean, do you get paid for transparency?

00:35:59.520 Is that part of, is that one of the metrics for your income?

00:36:03.580 I think the board counts on me for transparency.

00:36:05.820 Really?

00:36:06.360 Because you're under investigation for falsifying 787 inspection records.

00:36:11.180 The Boeing's under criminal investigation for the Alaska Airlines flight.

00:36:15.300 You were investigated by DOJ for criminal conspiracy to defraud the FAA.

00:36:21.340 This is all in your tenure.

00:36:22.440 This doesn't sound like a lot of transparency to me.

00:36:25.540 What about safety?

00:36:30.140 Is that a component of your salary?

00:36:32.600 It sure is, Senator.

00:36:34.420 You know, have you seen the reports that the subcontractor that you used to make that door

00:36:41.500 piece that fell out of the sky, that when the FAA went and toured the facility, they found

00:36:47.680 one door seal being lubricated with Dawn liquid dish soap and cleaned with a wet cheesecloth,

00:36:55.000 and another was being checked with a hotel room key card.

00:36:58.880 Does that sound like safety to you?

00:37:02.280 Senator, I think our relationship with that particular supplier has been well documented,

00:37:09.040 reviewed by the FAA, and most certainly us.

00:37:10.960 And I'm very intent on acquiring that company so that none of that ever happens.

00:37:17.520 OK, so it was, you know, it's good grilling by Holly, who I like as a senator, and it goes

00:37:22.520 on for another five minutes, which is, you know, which is good.

00:37:29.180 But I do have to confess, I just get so tired of this routine, these hearings that are so

00:37:34.020 transparently just opportunities for politicians to put together highlight reels for their campaign

00:37:38.400 videos and try to go viral and all the rest of it.

00:37:44.540 When is the last time anyone even asked a real question in a hearing?

00:37:49.960 Isn't the idea of a hearing to actually try to get answers to questions that you don't already

00:37:54.360 know the answer to?

00:37:56.620 I mean, call me naive, but I thought that that's ideally the purpose is to actually find something

00:38:02.060 out, find out information that you can then act on in some way to make a change, which

00:38:13.160 involves asking questions we don't already know the answer to.

00:38:16.860 And I just get tired of these hearings where they don't even actually ask any questions.

00:38:20.520 They just make statements and then tack a question mark on to the end of it.

00:38:23.720 And I know I'm not saying anything that you don't already know.

00:38:28.680 It's all politics, obviously.

00:38:30.040 But we're at a point now where everything is performance all the time.

00:38:36.000 Everything that happens in Washington, every hearing, everything is just performance always.

00:38:43.660 Nothing serious or real is happening ever at all.

00:38:46.880 So maybe I'll be proven wrong in this particular case.

00:38:52.760 Boeing should be held accountable.

00:38:55.920 Their safety record has not been good and it's getting worse.

00:39:01.580 And there are a lot of really important questions that should be asked about DEI at Boeing

00:39:05.840 and what their priorities really are.

00:39:13.260 And maybe Boeing will actually be held accountable.

00:39:15.540 They should be.

00:39:16.880 Maybe there will be a federal prosecution that leads to real change and a safer airline industry.

00:39:23.300 There should be that too.

00:39:25.760 I hope so.

00:39:26.640 I just have no faith in that actually happening.

00:39:29.340 I think most likely nothing at all will change.

00:39:32.760 They just do these hearings.

00:39:34.520 It's the constant.

00:39:37.640 And it's all content now for social media.

00:39:43.160 And they do all these hearings.

00:39:44.480 That's part of their job is to have hearings. 0.96

00:39:46.060 I get it.

00:39:46.880 But in how many cases have, how many times have we seen these hearings and we see these great moments

00:39:55.900 with people asking great questions, you know, or even if it's not a question, they're saying things that are, you know,

00:40:07.420 they're putting somebody on the spot and all of that.

00:40:10.560 And it's great.

00:40:11.100 You say, yeah, I got them.

00:40:12.200 Amen.

00:40:12.420 How many times have we seen that?

00:40:16.740 And then you check back in on the story six months later, a year later, and you say, whatever happened with that?

00:40:21.160 Oh, nothing at all.

00:40:22.080 How many times did we see this with Fauci and all these hearings being grilled and if not grilled, then at least sitting there while he's lectured to, lectured by the, by some of the Republicans in these hearings.

00:40:38.700 And then, but then nothing happens.

00:40:40.980 Nothing happened to him.

00:40:41.960 Nothing at all happened.

00:40:47.160 Maybe it'll be different in this case.

00:40:48.580 We can hope so.

00:40:49.040 You know, when it comes to the perfect summer experience, nothing quite compares to enjoying a Mayflower cigar.

00:40:54.840 You see, in a world that's constantly trying to erase our traditions and values, Mayflower cigars stands as a beacon of timeless sophistication.

00:41:47.380 So light up a Mayflower cigar this summer and savor the moments that make life worth living.

00:41:53.140 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:42:00.960 We've talked before about the phenomenon known as biohacking.

00:42:04.300 This is the effort to extend your life by making changes to your body and your lifestyle.

00:42:09.520 On the surface, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the concept.

00:42:12.700 The only thing wrong with it is that they've created a cringy new name for something that is not a new or revolutionary idea.

00:42:17.980 Trying to be healthy is not a hack.

00:42:19.960 In fact, if anything, it's the opposite of a hack.

00:42:21.960 You're not cheating or doing anything complicated or sneaky, which is what hack implies.

00:42:26.560 Human biology really can't be hacked.

00:42:28.460 And if it can, living a healthy lifestyle would not qualify as a hack.

00:42:31.760 That's just you living how you should live.

00:42:34.240 The problem is that the biohacking folks are, in many cases, not merely proponents of living healthy lifestyles. 0.87

00:42:42.940 Instead, they employ extreme measures to stave off the inevitable.

00:42:47.120 The most infamous example, of course, is the tech CEO, Brian Johnson, who, among other things,

00:42:51.120 took blood infusions from his teenage son to try and make himself younger.

00:42:55.380 Didn't work.

00:42:55.980 Because despite what he may think and how he may look, arguably, he is not actually a vampire.

00:43:02.340 Yesterday on Twitter, I saw a post from another of these types.

00:43:04.700 This guy, as far as I know, is not trying to steal the life force from his own children,

00:43:09.040 so credit where it's due on that front.

00:43:10.500 But he is employing other slightly less creepy but still rather cumbersome strategies to extend his life.

00:43:15.420 He posted this.

00:43:16.860 Quote,

00:43:17.100 Now, here's the picture that he thinks might make us cringe, and he's right.

00:43:33.220 That's a hell of a lot of pills for one person to take every single day.

00:43:37.140 In fact, I can safely say that this guy, Sean Kelly is his name,

00:43:41.200 takes more supplements in a single day than I have in my entire life.

00:43:45.460 Later in the thread, he posts, quote,

00:43:47.920 This is my life force score.

00:43:50.360 My doctor told me it's one of the highest she's ever seen.

00:43:52.800 I get my blood tested every quarter through Go Life Force to track my biomarkers.

00:43:58.260 Then he gives his code, his promotional code.

00:44:01.200 These tests show me how various supplements and lifestyle changes impact my biology.

00:44:05.260 Now, I will admit that I haven't done much or any research on this,

00:44:09.080 but it certainly seems, just from an intuitive perspective,

00:44:12.680 that 280 supplements a week is probably not healthy.

00:44:18.340 Not healthy for your wallet and even less for your physical body.

00:44:22.240 The human body was not meant to process all of that.

00:44:24.700 We're not designed for that, which is why this is not necessary to live a long life.

00:44:29.100 Go up to any 90-year-old and ask them how many daily supplements they took to get them to 90 years old.

00:44:34.560 I guarantee none of them will say 40 a day.

00:44:37.760 In fact, I guarantee most of them will probably say zero.

00:44:40.860 So this is not necessary to be healthy,

00:44:42.880 and there's very good reason to suspect that it's probably injurious to your health

00:44:46.000 to take that much of it every single day.

00:44:49.380 But that's not even the most important point as far as I'm concerned.

00:44:52.500 The most important point is that this kind of lifestyle

00:44:54.980 reveals an extreme level of denial and delusion.

00:44:59.020 A refusal to accept what's inevitable for all of us.

00:45:03.000 I made that point in response to this guy's post,

00:45:04.860 a point that I'll flesh out in just a moment,

00:45:06.220 but I want to read a response from the aforementioned Brian Johnson,

00:45:09.480 who joined the conversation and responded to me, chiming in with this.

00:45:13.700 He says,

00:45:15.240 99% of those living can't see the future when it arrives.

00:45:19.720 At any other time in history, it's easy to YOLO your way to justify debauchery,

00:45:23.820 self-destruction, and indulgent behaviors as the virtuous way to live.

00:45:27.160 On the eve of giving birth to superintelligence,

00:45:29.680 we no longer know how long and how well we can live.

00:45:33.540 A different era is now present, whether it can be seen or not.

00:45:36.580 The question is not whether health habits of today will punch through the 120 ceiling.

00:45:40.100 Rather, it's if we can create the new systems and norms to systematically eliminate the current

00:45:44.320 die culture, which creates disease, misery, and impairment. 0.99

00:45:48.420 Don't die will supersede die simply because we can.

00:45:54.020 Sean Kelly responded in agreement, writing, quote,

00:45:56.780 so true.

00:45:57.600 And the wild thing, Brian, is how many people are just willing to accept death and disease

00:46:01.220 like it's their destiny.

00:46:02.560 Most people die today from diseases that are highly preventable,

00:46:05.240 almost certainly be even more highly preventable in the future.

00:46:07.460 One of my goals, and I believe also is yours, is to help people not die from things they can avoid.

00:46:12.520 Pretty simple concept.

00:46:13.640 And this path is anti-disease and anti-early death.

00:46:15.900 It does not have to be a horrible experience.

00:46:17.260 People act like living a healthy life is miserable today and only beneficial to the future self.

00:46:21.220 It does not have to be true.

00:46:22.400 You can extend your health span and live more richly today.

00:46:25.780 This should be the goal, at least in my eyes.

00:46:28.160 Okay, now some of what both of these guys said is true.

00:46:30.220 Brian Johnson's right that you shouldn't be self-destructive and overindulgent.

00:46:33.640 Sean Kelly's right that living a healthy life need not be miserable.

00:46:37.460 The main point of being healthy is to live a better life in the present.

00:46:40.700 All of that is true.

00:46:41.720 I take no issue with any of that.

00:46:43.320 But if you sift through the true stuff, you will find buried not so subtly in the middle of it, pure delusion.

00:46:50.640 I mean, Brian Johnson says we live in a die culture and don't die must supersede it.

00:46:56.920 And Sean Kelly says that people should not accept that death and disease are their destiny.

00:47:01.660 Now, herein lies the problem.

00:47:04.860 Physical death is, in fact, the destiny of every mortal creature who walks the earth or has ever walked the earth or will ever walk it.

00:47:13.160 We don't live in a die culture.

00:47:15.300 Dying is not a part of our culture.

00:47:17.120 It's not some kind of cultural tradition we've come up with.

00:47:20.000 It's a physical reality.

00:47:22.180 Don't die is not a strategy.

00:47:24.060 It's not a philosophy.

00:47:25.120 It's not a lifestyle option.

00:47:27.240 It's pure denial.

00:47:28.340 It's an impotent slogan shouted by people who are too afraid to face reality for what it is.

00:47:33.760 And the reality is this.

00:47:35.180 We will all die.

00:47:36.500 You can take 40 supplements a day and get blood transfusions and employ all the latest and most up-to-date, trendy biohacking strategies.

00:47:43.140 You can live every moment of your life trying not to die, but you still will.

00:47:47.060 Not only will you die, but you'll die around the same time that everyone else does.

00:47:51.280 You'll live for 80 or 90 years, most likely.

00:47:54.160 And then you'll die.

00:47:55.040 Or maybe you'll die much earlier than that.

00:47:56.660 You could be a 41-year-old man in perfect health with a biological age of 27, whatever the hell that means, and then cross the street and get hit by a bus.

00:48:04.500 That could easily happen.

00:48:06.280 Or maybe you will succeed in extending your life a significant amount.

00:48:10.040 It's unlikely, but it could happen.

00:48:12.520 What's a significant amount?

00:48:13.560 I mean, maybe you live up to be 100, 110, 115.

00:48:19.680 There have been people who've lived to 120.

00:48:21.400 With all of your biohacking, you've bought yourself 35 extra years beyond the average lifespan, let's say.

00:48:30.400 That's very ambitious.

00:48:32.220 Almost certainly isn't going to happen.

00:48:33.520 Well, what if it does?

00:48:34.300 In fact, let's be extremely ambitious and go with something that's never happened before and say, well, what if you could live to 150 with your biohacking?

00:48:43.260 Right?

00:48:47.280 Well, okay.

00:48:49.300 But what then?

00:48:50.880 You're still going to die.

00:48:54.340 And the reward for all of your effort is that you get to live the final 20, 30, 50 years of your life without any of the people you know or love, who have all died before you.

00:49:04.640 You get to witness the deaths of your children.

00:49:07.620 You get to be old and frail and lonely for a very long time.

00:49:12.300 You win, I guess.

00:49:14.020 Congratulations.

00:49:14.380 Congratulations, your prize is that you still have to die.

00:49:17.380 That's your prize.

00:49:19.520 And when you die, you'll be just as dead as everyone else who didn't biohack. 0.99

00:49:24.100 The biohacked corpse and the regular corpse will be indistinguishable in the grave. 0.92

00:49:29.560 Now, I'm not trying to be a buzzkill.

00:49:30.760 I just want everyone to live in reality.

00:49:32.300 And I don't mean to discourage anyone from trying to be healthy.

00:49:34.480 It's good to be healthy.

00:49:35.220 But there is no path to a truly healthy, truly happy, truly fulfilled life that does not begin with truth.

00:49:42.200 And the truth is that you will die.

00:49:45.460 The most important fact about your life is that it will end.

00:49:50.240 If you spend your life trying first and foremost to avoid its end by any cost, you will have wasted it.

00:49:57.380 You will have spent your precious time on earth on the most futile pursuit of all.

00:50:01.220 You'll be like a child at the playground who spends the whole time whining that soon he's going to have to leave it.

00:50:08.040 He's so focused on not leaving that he never enjoyed actually being there.

00:50:11.900 This is the way that so many people approach life.

00:50:15.600 So don't do that.

00:50:17.600 Eat healthy.

00:50:18.720 Yes.

00:50:20.060 Get some exercise.

00:50:22.200 Also, like, enjoy a dessert every once in a while.

00:50:24.800 Have a drink.

00:50:26.340 Say your prayers.

00:50:27.080 Love your family.

00:50:27.740 Do something worthwhile with your time here.

00:50:29.320 And accept that you will die.

00:50:32.220 That's not such a depressing view of things, is it?

00:50:36.380 Even if it is, it doesn't matter.

00:50:38.000 Because it's just the way it is.

00:50:40.200 And that's why the biohackers are today canceled.

00:50:45.160 That'll do it for the show today.

00:50:45.980 Thanks for watching.

00:50:46.440 Thanks for listening.

00:50:47.000 Talk to you tomorrow.

00:50:47.800 Have a great day.

00:50:48.800 Godspeed.

00:50:49.120 Godspeed.
