The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1444 - Why Critics Are Running Scared From My Movie

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, my movie Am I Racist is a hit at the box office, but that still has not

00:00:04.460 prompted any mainstream critics to review the film. So far, there has been a near total blackout

00:00:09.180 in the corporate press. Why? What are they so afraid of? We'll discuss. Also, the media has

00:00:12.620 not tamped down its inciting rhetoric after Trump's second assassination attempt. If anything,

00:00:16.940 they've ramped it up. And a woman who stabbed a toddler to death will not stand trial. Instead,

00:00:22.040 she'll get treatment in a hospital. And employers are increasingly complaining about their Gen Z

00:00:26.980 employees. They say they're lazy, entitled, have no social skills. Is that true? And if so,

00:00:31.520 why is it true? We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:02:18.640 Well, aside from taking my word for it, there are a few different ways you can decide whether my new film,

00:02:23.480 Am I Racist, is worth seeing in theaters. You can look at the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes,

00:02:28.440 where we're sitting at 99% audience rating, what Rotten Tomatoes calls verified fresh. That means

00:02:33.460 that 99% of the people who actually watched the movie, the verified audience, liked it. So you can

00:02:39.280 look at that, or you can look at the box office returns, which put us in the top five of all films

00:02:43.780 in the genre released in the past decade and top four overall in the box office this weekend.

00:02:49.240 Or you could watch the interviews and trailers and behind the scenes videos that are out there.

00:02:53.800 But if you really want to know how effective the film is, there's an even better, much simpler option.

00:02:58.600 You can just take a look at what professional mainstream movie critics are saying about the

00:03:04.380 film. You can go to websites like Time and The New Yorker and IndieWire and Rolling Stone,

00:03:11.040 The New York Times, Washington Post, The AP. Head over to their movie review section and search for

00:03:17.640 Am I Racist? And what you'll find is absolutely nothing. None of these outlets have said a word

00:03:24.520 about the film. In fact, as of today, there is not a single mainstream movie critic who has reviewed

00:03:30.260 Am I Racist? Two days after the film's opening weekend. Now, as far as I can tell, Am I Racist is

00:03:36.160 the only top five box office film that has not had a single mainstream critic review by the end of its

00:03:43.320 opening weekend. I am not aware of a single other case of this happening ever. So to get a sense of

00:03:49.820 how unusual this is, consider a couple of the other movies that also debuted in theaters this

00:03:54.160 weekend, like The Killers Game, for example. Now, that was a movie that was playing in a thousand

00:03:58.580 more theaters than our film. It also grossed $2.6 million against a budget of $30 million.

00:04:04.020 For comparison, Am I Racist grossed more than $4.5 million against a budget of $3 million.

00:04:10.900 So our movie performed a lot better, despite having a much smaller budget and appearing in

00:04:15.720 fewer theaters. We also have a much higher audience score, and yet The Killers Game has

00:04:20.140 an official critic score on Rotten Tomatoes coming in at around 38%. So critics didn't like it,

00:04:26.020 but they reviewed it. There are more than 30 critic reviews for that film. Meanwhile, the film called

00:04:32.340 My Old Ass, which apparently is not a Biden biopic, also came out September 13th. It was only in seven 0.84

00:04:40.220 theaters this weekend as part of a limited release. It made $170,000. So it didn't even rank in the box

00:04:48.820 office top 10 this weekend at all, but it has an official Rotten Tomatoes critic score as well,

00:04:53.380 and it has more than 85 critic reviews. Now, if Am I Racist were a bad film, if we didn't succeed in

00:05:00.720 doing what we set out to do in the film, then this probably wouldn't be happening. We'd be getting

00:05:04.260 panned by every mainstream outlet. They've done that to a lot of other media and other films that are

00:05:10.080 created by people outside of the Hollywood bubble. We're used to that kind of thing. And usually, if they

00:05:15.520 have an opportunity to rip a piece of conservative entertainment, quote-unquote, to shreds, they're more

00:05:21.420 than happy to take advantage of that opportunity. But they're not doing that here. Instead, they're

00:05:26.440 ignoring Am I Racist entirely, as if it doesn't exist. They're terrified to even mention a film

00:05:31.980 that mocks the DEI industry because they know that the DEI industry can only survive if no one is allowed

00:05:36.680 to question it. Also, our movie is actually good. And I think that's what scares them the most. And I

00:05:42.360 know that sounds self-serving, saying that critics aren't reviewing it because it's too good. Sounds

00:05:48.240 like some grade-A, hardcore cope. But in this case, it's true. And I invite any critic to challenge me on that

00:05:57.360 point just by reviewing the film. So this is why they won't write about our film, even to condemn it. It's the

00:06:04.920 same approach we saw with What is a Woman, except it's even more flagrant this time. They can't hide behind the 1.00

00:06:09.580 excuse that the film was only available on a streaming platform anymore. These mainstream reviewers, in this

00:06:16.180 case, are deliberately ignoring a theatrical release in more than 1,500 theaters. At the same time as I

00:06:22.080 outlined last night on Twitter, we did receive a handful of reactions from independent movie critics

00:06:26.700 when we set out screeners for the film back in mid-August. And many of the responses from these

00:06:32.420 critics strongly suggested that the mere presence of the screener in their inbox had triggered a full-on

00:06:39.280 mental breakdown. One critic wrote, quote,

00:06:42.080 you'd have to strap me to a chair like Malcolm McDowell to get me to watch this thing.

00:06:47.160 Another responded with this, ew, take me off this list. As for more mainstream outlets,

00:06:53.740 some of them did indicate some potential interest in writing a review. One of those outlets was

00:06:58.600 Variety, which actually wrote a pretty fair article covering our film's expansion into 1,500 theaters

00:07:03.140 about a week ago. But they haven't reviewed the film. In fact, they wrote in an article,

00:07:07.980 The Daily Wire, quote, did not screen the movie for critics, which is an odd claim to make,

00:07:13.060 especially since we sent Variety a screener of the film. We asked them to correct the error,

00:07:19.220 you know, claiming we didn't screen it for critics, because we did. We asked them to correct that in

00:07:23.620 the article. They still haven't. Meanwhile, Rolling Stone was one of the first outlets to request a

00:07:28.620 screener all the way back in July. We gave them a screener, but they still haven't published a review,

00:07:34.720 which is too bad because I was really looking forward to their take. They went on a tirade

00:07:39.220 about my last film, labeling it transphobic and so on. So I can't wait to see their meltdown over

00:07:44.660 Am I Racist? Maybe that's still coming. We can only hope. But even while that's all going on,

00:07:51.240 there are some independent critics who aren't so cowardly. Jeremy Johns is one of them. He has a

00:07:57.700 large fan base on YouTube with about 2 million followers. He's probably one of the biggest film

00:08:02.920 critics on YouTube, if not the biggest. And he at this point is the single biggest in terms of

00:08:10.980 platform independent reviewer who has reviewed our film. And I encourage you to go and watch the

00:08:16.140 whole thing on his channel because he makes a lot of smart observations. It's a fair review.

00:08:21.240 And here's part of it. I'm going to be 100%. There was a part of me that was like,

00:08:26.040 maybe I should just skip this one. Just move on to next week's videos. Call this weekend good and

00:08:31.820 have that be that. But the fact that that entered my mind is kind of one of the points

00:08:35.720 this movie makes. So at that point, I really felt I should talk about it. I do appreciate that.

00:08:40.120 First off, Matt Walsh is surprisingly funny. I don't know. I just kind of didn't know that about

00:08:44.280 him. I kind of got a glimpse of that when I saw that he crashed the Democratic National

00:08:48.760 Convention in the name of promoting this movie. Come on. That is funny. But there are scenarios and

00:08:54.600 situations in this movie where he's talking to someone or a group. He has to think on his feet. And I

00:08:59.040 thought he did a really good job. I mean, there's one segment where they go to this small town. I

00:09:02.960 don't know where it was. I don't know, but they start talking to the townsfolk and he starts,

00:09:06.040 you know, because he's still in character. He's like, what are you doing to de-center your whiteness?

00:09:10.640 He's never thought about that in his life. I mean, it's funny, but it also is a perspective of

00:09:14.680 not everyone thinks like that. In fact, better said, most people don't think like that. That's kind

00:09:20.380 of the point. Most people, black, white, Asian, Mexican, doesn't matter. When they wake up, 0.99

00:09:24.560 they're not like, oh, how can I keep race in the forefront of my mind today?

00:09:30.520 Now, the introduction to that review is maybe the most interesting part. It's clear that Jeremy

00:09:34.260 Johns understood that by reviewing the film, you'd get a lot of backlash from the left.

00:09:38.380 And that's not because anyone on the left has actually seen the film. It's because activists

00:09:42.500 on the left can't tolerate any kind of mockery of their ideology. They also can't tolerate somebody

00:09:48.900 like me being acknowledged at all, especially in any sort of positive way. And they know that

00:09:55.440 nothing they believe survives any scrutiny, certainly doesn't survive satire. That's the

00:10:02.100 case with gender ideology, which is why they were so outraged by what is woman. And it's true of DEI 1.00

00:10:05.980 as well. The simplest thing to do if Jeremy Johns wanted to avoid this inevitable backlash would have

00:10:10.840 been to just ignore the film like everybody else has. And then he wouldn't have a horde of angry,

00:10:15.240 unhappy people attacking him on social media as they are right now. But Johns decided that the film

00:10:20.820 looked interesting. And so he reviewed it. In fact, he says that his hesitation about reviewing the film

00:10:26.120 ultimately made it more interesting to him and made him feel more sort of obliged to review it.

00:10:33.640 And that makes sense. Forbidden topics are more interesting than the usual rote corporate

00:10:38.420 propaganda. And I also know someone who's in the commentary space that if you're in the commentary

00:10:44.240 world and there's a topic that even you are a little bit nervous to talk about, then kind of

00:10:50.560 as Jeremy Johns pointed out, that's all the more reason why you should. That's a pretty good indication

00:10:54.340 that this is the thing we should be talking about. So for making that decision, Johns has been

00:10:59.080 subjected to a smear campaign over the last 48 hours. A guy named Jeff Zhang, for example, wrote,

00:11:04.140 quote, mainstream criticism is in pretty dire straits, but most critics can still recognize

00:11:09.120 dog whistle tripe when they see it. Also, Jeremy Johns hasn't leveled up his film analysis once in

00:11:15.260 almost two decades. For the record, Jeff Zhang calls himself a film critic. And here he's demeaning

00:11:21.200 another critic for simply reviewing a film. Jeff Zhang has not seen Am I Racist, but he's quite sure that

00:11:28.940 it's dog whistle tripe. And then he launches into a personal attack on someone who has seen the film

00:11:35.260 and is attacking them for seeing it. And then for good measure, Jeff Zhang laments the state of

00:11:41.000 mainstream criticism. I mean, it's like the least self-aware post ever made on X, which of course is

00:11:46.840 really saying something. Zhang illustrates a major underlying problem with the movie industry very

00:11:51.720 well, which is that the role of the film critic has changed a lot in recent years. They now think

00:11:58.160 that their job is to act as gatekeepers, as sort of a barrier to entry, to enforce ideological

00:12:04.800 orthodoxy, not to just review films. And in that sense, film critics are no different from the swarm

00:12:12.920 of online left-wing activists who relentlessly attacked Jeremy Johns all day yesterday. There

00:12:18.520 were hundreds of posts accusing him of embracing full-blown racism, accusing him of being a sellout,

00:12:24.700 taking money from the Daily Wire. You know, we must be paying him off if he's, if he is, is

00:12:30.260 reviewing the film. And Reddit was especially furious. There were posts saying that John was

00:12:36.020 openly racist and fascist and was preparing to become a right-wing grifter. Matt Jarbo, who runs 0.98

00:12:43.700 some kind of film podcast, wrote, quote, midlife crisis Jeremy Johns is not the villain origin story I was

00:12:51.520 expecting. Yes, for reviewing a film, a film critic is having a midlife crisis. He's becoming a villain

00:13:00.280 for literally doing the thing that is his job. It's like going back into the kitchen at IHOP and

00:13:08.540 seeing someone make pancakes and saying, oh, well, that guy's making pancakes. He must be in a midlife

00:13:14.100 crisis. No, that's his, it's what he's paid to do. It's his job. So this is how they're enforcing the

00:13:20.760 near total blackout of mainstream reviews for Am I Racist. They don't want anyone to even mention

00:13:26.800 the film. Now, fortunately, not every reviewer is going along with it, as we covered, not just

00:13:32.480 Jeremy Johns, the folks at Film Threat also just posted a lengthy and then quite interesting review

00:13:37.540 of the film. Here's part of it. The way he trolled these people was on a level of Borat. It was like

00:13:45.900 Sacha Baron Cohen, the way he was trolling these people, man. And I feel like, look, man, if a very

00:13:53.320 diverse audience saw this movie together, they would laugh together. They would enjoy this movie

00:14:00.880 together. I don't think there will be people sitting there in a huff and a puff, angry that he

00:14:05.940 dared to tackle this topic. I think everyone would just enjoy themselves and laugh at it because he

00:14:12.620 points out how ridiculous all of this is. And I think he conveys that pretty well in the film,

00:14:20.660 especially the Jesse Smollett thing, which I'm sure we'll talk about.

00:14:26.500 So it'd be interesting to see what Jeff Zhang and Matt Jarbo, whoever those people are, think of

00:14:33.020 Film Threat's review. Is everyone at Film Threat having a midlife crisis too because they reviewed a

00:14:38.040 movie? I guess so. Is that guy that you just heard speaking there, is he a fascist white supremacist

00:14:45.660 for laughing about the Jesse Smollett scene, even though he is a black guy? Well, of course, 1.00

00:14:51.440 you know, the Matt Jarbo's of the world would have no problem saying that, yes, he is a black white 0.95

00:14:55.900 supremacist for enjoying a movie that I made. Now, these kinds of mob tactics stop working the moment 0.56

00:15:04.560 people stand up to them. As soon as people disregard the activists and actually watch the

00:15:09.000 movie or watch some of these independent reviews, then they immediately realize how absurd the smears

00:15:12.500 really are. That's why their real goal has been to prevent anyone from seeing the movie in the

00:15:16.960 first place. They don't want theaters to even show the film. And at least one theater in Northern

00:15:21.920 California relented to those demands a few days ago. The Del Oro Theater slash Prime Cinemas in

00:15:28.080 California posted this message on September 12th. This is a day before the movie came out.

00:15:34.920 And it is a paragraph that belongs in like the museum of cowardice. If such a thing exists somewhere,

00:15:42.300 it should be a monument to left-wing censorship to show future generations how desperately the left

00:15:48.020 seeks to censor anything, even a film that they find objectionable. Quote, here's what it says,

00:15:52.520 the statement, due to the strong reactions from our community for and against the film and concerns

00:15:58.020 for the well-being of our staff, we will not be playing the film Am I Racist as originally

00:16:02.560 intended. Please know that it was not our intention to cause such division by playing this film. We

00:16:08.060 noticed that many of the theaters in the Sacramento area were booked to play this film, and quite frankly,

00:16:11.960 this reaction caught us off guard. The safety of our staff is our number one priority. Please accept

00:16:17.700 our apologies. So this, just to review, this is a theater apologizing for carrying a movie.

00:16:25.340 That 1,500 theater, other theaters are also carrying.

00:16:31.500 So, you know, you get the usual vague claim that people's safety is in danger if they screen a film

00:16:36.160 that left-wing activists don't like. And in this context, it's a pretty ironic claim if you've seen

00:16:40.620 the film. I mean, I'm not going to spoil anything, but suffice to say, this is, this is a, this is a,

00:16:45.040 such a stock complaint of insane left-wing activists that it found its way into a prominent scene

00:16:50.480 towards the beginning of Am I Racist? So me being in the room with people while making the movie

00:16:56.220 apparently threatened their physical safety, as we see in the movie. And then the movie itself also

00:17:03.080 threatens the physical safety of people. But as usual, that claim doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

00:17:08.020 It's a, you know, in the movie, it's a laugh line, actually, because of how melodramatic and

00:17:12.800 neurotic the claim is. No one on the right is threatening anyone because of this film,

00:17:17.920 which doesn't even make any sense. I mean, they, in the statement, the, the theater says,

00:17:22.520 well, because of the strong reactions for and against, what do you mean for?

00:17:28.020 Strong reactions for, that would be people who are just excited to see the movie?

00:17:32.080 What, you're worried about violence from them? What would they say? I love this movie so much,

00:17:38.080 I'm going to blow up the theater in celebration. Like what, what, how does, how does people liking the

00:17:44.340 movie create a danger to the theater? I want to understand that. Maybe there was going to be

00:17:50.480 such a rush of, maybe it was going to be like Black Friday, you know, at Walmart. There was

00:17:54.580 going to be such a rush of people in to see the movie that it was going to stampede that would,

00:17:58.900 you know, harm the employees. Maybe that's it. I'd like to think that there was that level of

00:18:04.420 interest in the movie. No, what they're really suggesting in that theater in Northern California,

00:18:09.300 California, if that statement means anything at all, is that left-wing activists might get violent

00:18:15.340 if the film is shown. That's what they're actually saying. That's the implicit statement they're

00:18:20.220 making, whether they meant to say it or not. What they're really saying is that if they show the

00:18:24.920 movie, left-wing activists might harm theater employees. That's how enraged these activists are

00:18:31.100 all because of our film. They're furious because of a documentary that allows the foremost fake

00:18:35.640 experts in DEI to speak at length without any unfair editing whatsoever. And they're enraged

00:18:40.560 by this conceit for a few reasons. One of them is that the modern left is intellectually bankrupt.

00:18:45.560 They can't defend any of their nonsense with an actual argument, so they have to resort to threats

00:18:49.440 and hysteria. The other reason that they're furious is that right now, you know, we are, at the Daily

00:18:55.180 Wire, we are insurgents in the movie industry. Like, the left really believes that they own

00:19:01.880 the art form of film, that it's theirs, that this is something that they take ownership of,

00:19:09.060 which is why I've even gotten comments, which I think are very funny, calling me a grifter

00:19:14.300 for making this movie. So in their world, any conservative who makes a movie must be a con artist

00:19:25.120 running some kind of scam? Because it can't possibly be that, you know, we love film too,

00:19:32.360 and we want to use it to tell our own stories, that we just, this is an art form that we want

00:19:37.460 to participate in because we love this art form. Now, that can't be it. No, we're up to something

00:19:43.360 here. This is, this is, we have ulterior motives. It's just not something that activists can even

00:19:50.060 consider within the realm of possibility. But of course, it's true. You know, the film industry has

00:19:55.440 been dominated by one ideology for so long. These people have come to expect that every film and

00:20:00.140 every artistic work in general will mirror their worldview. They feel entitled to it now.

00:20:05.920 The left in Hollywood have maintained a monopoly for a very long time. They've successfully pressured

00:20:10.900 distributors and studios into producing the same narratives over and over again, all in the service

00:20:15.140 of weeding out any semblance of competition. But, you know, after the success of M.I. Racist,

00:20:21.080 it's clear that whether mainstream critics and publications want to hide from it or not,

00:20:27.340 whether they like it or not, competition has finally arrived. And by the way, it's not going anywhere.

00:20:36.400 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:20:37.700 You know what's worse than forgetting to mute yourself on a Zoom call while ranting about the

00:21:49.040 since a second assassination attempt on President Trump. I want to read the lead article on CNN.com

00:21:55.300 as of this morning. This was their main story on the page. Here's what it says.

00:22:01.120 Ex-President Donald Trump responded to a second apparent assassination attempt that he blames

00:22:06.500 on incendiary political rhetoric by inflaming the situation even more. When a bullet grazed his

00:22:12.900 ear in a horrific shooting that killed a rally goer in July, Trump initially acted like a changed

00:22:16.980 man, telling the Washington Examiner, Selena Zito, that he had a chance to bring the country and the

00:22:21.360 world together, although that aspiration did not last any longer than the opening paragraphs of his

00:22:25.500 convention speech. After the Secret Service thwarted a gunman who apparently laying in wait

00:22:31.260 for the ex-president at one of his, apparently laying in wait, is that the right? Apparently

00:22:39.560 laid in wait, apparently laid in wait, I guess, I don't know, I'm stupid. Anyway, that's what it says. 1.00

00:22:46.860 The gunman who laying in wait for ex-president at one of his Florida golf courses Sunday,

00:22:51.520 Trump's reaction was different. He accused President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala

00:22:54.660 Harris of inviting assassins to target him when they warned that he is a threat to democracy.

00:22:59.620 He told Fox News Digital on Monday without evidence that the alleged shooter would be,

00:23:03.500 would-be shooter believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris and he acted on it.

00:23:08.780 It's called the enemy from within, he said, using a familiar trope of totalitarian leaders.

00:23:15.420 And then it goes on and on. Okay, so CNN is not trying to hide it clearly. It's been two days

00:23:21.480 and they're doubling down on exactly the kind of rhetoric that got Trump almost killed twice.

00:23:28.220 Because here's the important point, and I made this point on Gutfeld last night, 0.72

00:23:32.100 that we keep hearing that the attempted assassins in both cases were crazy. 0.93

00:23:37.420 And maybe they are crazy, but the point is that trying to shoot Trump is not crazy. That's not a crazy 0.89

00:23:46.400 thing to do. Okay? That's not the crazy part anyway, trying to shoot Trump. It's not crazy to try to

00:23:55.020 shoot Trump. What is crazy, okay, is believing that Trump is a totalitarian dictator, you know, 0.99

00:24:04.720 a fascist despot, Hitler reincarnated. That's the crazy part, is believing that. Because that's a crazy 0.99

00:24:13.500 thing. Trump is none of those things that's crazy to believe in. But if you believe that, so if you've

00:24:20.400 crossed the crazy threshold and you believe that crazy idea, you believe what CNN is saying about 0.79

00:24:28.100 Trump, what all the entire left is saying about Trump, then trying to kill Trump from there is 0.74

00:24:33.360 like logical, right? From that crazy starting point, trying to kill Trump is logical. 0.98

00:24:42.440 Because if he's Hitler, well, of course you would try to kill. Who wouldn't kill Hitler? 1.00

00:24:50.400 So the left is using rhetoric, branding Trump in a certain way, that if believed, if you believe it, 0.99

00:25:00.520 if you're crazy enough to believe it, then it makes the case for assassinating him, right? It's just 0.91

00:25:08.100 like, I mean, imagine doing this to anybody else. Imagine you don't like your next door neighbor.

00:25:16.660 And so you go around telling people, including every, you know, any crazy person you find on the

00:25:22.660 street corner. You go around telling them, you know, you go to some other person, you say, well,

00:25:28.640 your neighbor, you tell your neighbor, your neighbor's name is Jim. And you go up to some guy,

00:25:33.280 Bob, and you tell Bob that, you know, Jim, he's an evil guy. He's planning, he's got designs to

00:25:42.260 blow up the world. He's a supervillain. He's building a nuclear bomb in his basement. He's

00:25:46.460 in all these things. It's a crazy claim, right? About your neighbor, Jim. And Bob is crazy if he

00:25:56.540 believes the claim, but once he believes it, then it's like the next logical step was that he goes, 0.93

00:26:02.960 yeah, he's going to go try to kill Jim because that's at that point it's self-defense. It's like,

00:26:06.440 this guy's going to, he's a threat. He's a danger. And my only point is just to emphasize

00:26:13.940 the, the, just how, I mean, incendiary doesn't even begin to describe it.

00:26:22.260 And, and, and usually, you know, calling rhetoric harmful, I'm, I'm, I'm hesitant to call rhetoric

00:26:30.140 harmful because, uh, that is, that's something the left does all the time to shut down. That's a,

00:26:36.000 that's a tactic used by people who are trying to shut down speech, but sometimes rhetoric can be

00:26:40.980 harmful. I mean, defamation is harmful. That's why you can get sued for it. And going around and saying

00:26:48.000 that your political opponent is Hitler and that he's plotting to destroy democracy and all that 0.94

00:26:54.580 kind of stuff, it's, it is harmful. And we're seeing why. Because if people believe it and you

00:27:01.480 get enough people to believe it, of course, they're going to start trying to kill him. Like, of course, 0.98

00:27:07.080 this was always inevitable, you know, which is why it wasn't even, I mean,

00:27:11.960 the first assassination attempt was shocking to see it out of the blue like that.

00:27:20.420 But the fact that they tried to kill him, the fact of it, that's not shocking at all.

00:27:26.700 Um, in fact, everyone, I think when you first heard about the assassination attempt, I mean,

00:27:31.260 again, you're, it's, it's a, it is a, a startling, upsetting thing, but I don't think anyone thought,

00:27:38.540 well, I, I can't believe anyone tried to kill him. Like, of course they did. I mean, they, they,

00:27:42.380 they demonizing him to this extent for 10 years. Of course, of course, if you do that to anyone,

00:27:47.340 eventually people are going to try to kill him. Um, and just to kind of demonstrate how relentless

00:27:58.200 this narrative has been, there, there are a lot of montages floating around of the, the left's,

00:28:03.580 uh, demonization of Trump. This one was posted originally, I think by, uh, David Harris Jr.

00:28:08.880 on X and, uh, let's just watch a little bit of this.

00:28:13.200 Just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. Maybe there will be.

00:28:17.380 People need to start taking to the streets. This is a dictator.

00:28:21.460 You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there's unrest in our lives.

00:28:25.540 Enemies of the state.

00:28:27.300 Show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful. 0.94

00:28:31.340 Do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless. 1.00

00:28:35.160 When they go low, we kick them.

00:28:36.940 How do you resist the temptation to run up and wring her neck? 0.99

00:28:39.940 Biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized right, up to the right. 1.00

00:28:47.000 I thought he should have punched him in the face. I said, even if you lost, he insulted your wife. 1.00

00:28:50.460 Yes. 1.00

00:28:50.560 He came down the escalator and called Mexicans rapists and murders. He said, well, what do you think I should have done? 0.92

00:28:54.260 I said, I think you should have punched him in the face and then gotten out of the race. You would have been a hero. 1.00

00:28:57.000 I'd like to punch him in the face. I said, if we were in high school, I'd take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him. 1.00

00:29:03.000 Punch some people in the face. 0.99

00:29:05.520 When was the last time an actor assassinated a president? 1.00

00:29:09.080 They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump. And that's a fact. 0.98

00:29:12.240 Look, as his character is stabbed to death.

00:29:18.240 Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him?

00:29:21.340 This way.

00:29:23.100 That's it right there.

00:29:24.260 I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. 0.89

00:29:30.380 A Missouri state senator is under investigation by the Secret Service after saying she hopes President Trump is assassinated.

00:29:38.040 I will go and take Trump out tonight.

00:29:40.720 And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd.

00:29:52.560 And you push back on them.

00:29:54.880 And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere.

00:29:59.960 And sadly, the domestic enemies to our voting system and our honoring our Constitution are right at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

00:30:09.320 They're not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they're not going to stop after Election Day.

00:30:14.500 And that should be, everyone should take note of that on both levels, that this isn't, they're not going to let up, and they should not.

00:30:20.880 If you think we're rallying now, you ain't seen nothing yet.

00:30:24.140 Now, by the way, you know, you could not compile a montage like that in the reverse because you're not going to find, you won't find nearly enough clips of conservatives using that kind of language about Biden or Harris or any other Democrat politician.

00:30:39.140 You'll find very harsh criticism of Biden and Harris from conservatives.

00:30:45.140 You'll find it from me, you know.

00:30:47.500 But explicit calls to violence and that sort of thing, it's pretty much exclusively Democrats who do that.

00:30:54.040 It just is.

00:30:55.880 And they get it.

00:30:58.400 You know, they get the violence that they call for.

00:31:00.240 And they haven't slowed down in the wake of the second attempt.

00:31:03.940 Here is a Hillary Clinton yesterday.

00:31:08.060 It's just a day after.

00:31:10.420 And here's what Hillary Clinton had to say. 1.00

00:31:13.140 And I don't understand why it's so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is.

00:31:22.200 You know, the late, great journalist, Harry Evans, you know, one time said that, you know, journalists should, you know, really try to achieve objectivity.

00:31:34.900 And by that, he said, I mean, they should cover the object.

00:31:38.620 Well, the object in this case is Donald Trump, his demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world and stick with it.

00:31:48.800 So it's hard to know where to even begin with that.

00:31:53.820 First, a day after someone tried to kill Trump again, her message is that he's a danger to our country and the world.

00:32:02.560 So she is, again, directly calling for an assassination.

00:32:07.920 That's what that is. 0.97

00:32:09.040 When you say that he is a danger to the country and the world, you are asking, once again, you are asking someone to kill him. 1.00

00:32:16.040 You are telling someone to go kill him. 0.99

00:32:19.140 That's what you're doing. 0.85

00:32:21.140 Second, her complaint is that somehow the press has not been consistent in communicating that Trump is a danger, allegedly.

00:32:28.780 Meanwhile, that is the one single message the press has hammered on for like 10 years.

00:32:34.560 Okay, they've said it every day, all day for almost a decade.

00:32:37.980 And yet it's not consistent enough.

00:32:43.740 Like, just imagine what kind of alternate universe you have to live in to listen to that from Hillary Clinton and take it seriously.

00:32:50.840 That Hillary Clinton's criticism of the press is that they haven't demonized Trump enough.

00:32:58.560 They've been too nice to him.

00:33:00.020 They haven't communicated that he's a danger.

00:33:05.900 They've communicated it 10 million times, but really they need to communicate it 20 million times or it's not enough.

00:33:10.740 And then third point I want to say about this is that we saw on the screen that Hillary has a new memoir coming out this week, which I guess is why she was being interviewed to hawk her new memoir.

00:33:22.340 Now, hasn't this woman published like 15 memoirs at this point?

00:33:26.620 How many memoirs does one person need?

00:33:29.540 And who's buying these?

00:33:31.280 I cannot imagine why in God's name anyone would want to buy the memoir of any politician, really, but especially Hillary Clinton.

00:33:37.580 Now, if it was actually a tell-all memoir, I mean, like a real tell-all memoir, if she was a telling all,

00:33:45.800 I mean, this is the kind of memoir that had a chapter titled What Really Happened to Epstein.

00:33:51.680 I mean, if it was that kind of thing, then I'd buy that book.

00:33:54.520 I mean, I'm first in line to buy that book.

00:33:56.380 But Hillary Clinton, she does have plenty of fascinating stories to tell. 1.00

00:34:01.840 I don't doubt that, but she's not telling any of those stories, which means that her memoirs are crushingly boring, and yet she's written multiples of them.

00:34:11.160 Is there somebody out there who has the entire Hillary Clinton memoir collection?

00:34:15.940 Like the Hillary Clinton box set?

00:34:17.960 Is there somebody has an entire shelf full of Hillary Clinton memoirs in their home?

00:34:25.400 Imagine that.

00:34:29.120 There's also this, I'll play, I'll talk about briefly.

00:34:33.880 There's another thing from that same interview with Hillary Clinton.

00:34:36.820 I'm loathe to play two clips from Hillary, but I will, because she also had this to say about the problem of misinformation.

00:34:48.080 Listen.

00:34:48.880 But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda.

00:34:55.640 And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence.

00:35:05.740 So here they have found their kind of end run around the First Amendment.

00:35:11.000 This is what they believe, what the left believes is their brilliant sort of get out of the First Amendment free card,

00:35:18.980 where they can just label it misinformation, and then it doesn't count anymore.

00:35:23.820 But there are two problems with that, and they're both obvious.

00:35:29.620 The first is who determines what qualifies as misinformation.

00:35:34.500 And this is especially a problem for people on the left.

00:35:38.400 To answer that is a problem for them, because they don't even believe in objective truth to begin with.

00:35:48.940 Something that is misinformation is something that is not objectively true.

00:35:54.260 That's misinformation.

00:35:56.160 Disinformation would be not objectively true, and the person who is saying it knows that it's not objectively true.

00:36:03.940 Misinformation just means it's not objectively true.

00:36:05.780 And whether maybe it's intentional deception, maybe it's just someone's mistaken.

00:36:11.240 But either way, misinformation means that it's not true.

00:36:17.940 So in order for anyone, I mean, if anyone can be a trusted authority on what is objectively true,

00:36:28.020 there has to, to begin with, actually be an objective truth for them to be judging the supposed misinformation

00:36:34.800 against, except that people on the left would say there is no objective truth,

00:36:39.700 and we all have our own truth, and your truth is different than my truth,

00:36:45.800 and something might be true to you but not true to me.

00:36:49.180 That's what they believe.

00:36:50.260 They're relativists.

00:36:52.480 So in their worldview, you can't even call anything misinformation.

00:36:56.360 The most you can say is, well, what that person said isn't true for everybody.

00:37:06.320 But you can't say that it's true for nobody, because it's true for the person who said it.

00:37:09.700 And then, of course, the second big problem is that if something is misinformation,

00:37:19.180 even if it is, you have the right to say things that aren't true.

00:37:27.480 I mean, unless it's defamatory, slanderous in the legal sense, you don't have a right to do that.

00:37:38.100 But, you know, if you're giving a perspective on the world that isn't true, I mean, you shouldn't be.

00:37:47.300 Like, you shouldn't be saying things that aren't true.

00:37:50.160 But there's nothing in the First Amendment that carves this out and says that, well, you have the right to only say things that are true.

00:37:59.900 That's not in there.

00:38:00.880 Like, you have the right to speak and give your opinion, and that's it.

00:38:09.980 And, you know, and I'm not even saying that everybody's opinions are valid.

00:38:15.520 I don't know. 1.00

00:38:15.880 A lot of people have opinions that are really stupid and not valid. 0.97

00:38:18.620 But, and I don't think that all opinions deserve to be respected or taken seriously, 1.00

00:38:24.160 but you do have the right to express your opinion, as stupid as it might be. 1.00

00:38:31.240 Here's a story from WKYC. 1.00

00:38:33.560 Bianca Ellis, the 33-year-old woman accused of killing 3-year-old Julian Wood,

00:38:37.780 has been ruled incompetent to stand trial following a 20-day evaluation at North Coast Behavioral Health.

00:38:43.460 The results of the evaluation were announced during a hearing Friday.

00:38:45.780 However, the doctor handling Ellis' case said that there was a substantial probability of restoration to competency

00:38:52.400 within the statutory time frame if provided with a course of treatment.

00:38:57.440 Ellis will receive inpatient treatment at North Coast Behavioral Health,

00:39:00.080 and then she will be given a medication and ordered to be returned to the jail once she's either competent to stand trial 0.81

00:39:11.800 or unable to be restored to competency.

00:39:14.540 Okay, so Bianca Ellis is the monster who stabbed a 3-year-old child to death in a grocery store parking lot.

00:39:19.900 You may remember that story.

00:39:20.760 She's also infamous for not only committing that heinous crime, 1.00

00:39:24.160 but also smiling and laughing in court right in front of the mother of the child that she murdered. 1.00

00:39:30.100 So this woman is a demon. 1.00

00:39:31.640 She's pure evil. 1.00

00:39:32.720 She, I mean, I can't say everything that I want to say about her. 0.70

00:39:37.520 I certainly can't say what I wish would happen to her.

00:39:40.380 I can't even go into all those details.

00:39:42.500 Just all of the worst forms of suffering a human being can experience, she deserves to experience.

00:39:52.300 And I hope she does experience.

00:39:54.560 Like, I hope that she suffers greatly.

00:39:56.360 And we can say that.

00:39:58.200 You can say that as a Christian.

00:39:59.380 You know why?

00:39:59.800 Because it's justice.

00:40:02.980 Wanting, you know, great injustice to be met with suffering,

00:40:08.060 that is your hunger for justice.

00:40:11.500 Right?

00:40:11.740 That's what that is.

00:40:14.120 And it is good to want justice.

00:40:16.380 We should want justice.

00:40:19.140 And, you know, murdering a 3-year-old child is,

00:40:22.600 well, I have 3 kids who are around that age.

00:40:26.840 Of course, you don't need to have kids to understand how utterly evil that is.

00:40:32.120 But when you do, you can't help but put yourself in the shoes of the parents

00:40:36.240 and imagine if it was your own child.

00:40:39.000 And it's just unthinkable. 0.99

00:40:39.780 I mean, this woman is, she's a beast. 1.00

00:40:43.280 She's a sadistic, soulless ogre. 1.00

00:40:47.160 And now she's been ruled incompetent to stand trial. 0.98

00:40:51.100 Now, yeah, there's a stipulation that she could be ruled competent in the future. 0.98

00:40:55.500 Apparently, they're sending her off to a hospital for treatment.

00:40:59.960 And if the treatment is judged to have worked within a certain time frame, then she'll stand trial.

00:41:05.160 Right now, she's incompetent. 1.00

00:41:06.420 And magically, after being treated, she'll suddenly be cured. 0.66

00:41:12.100 Right?

00:41:12.520 And then they can put her on trial. 0.93

00:41:13.440 But if that doesn't work, then she'll never be stand trial.

00:41:19.060 I mean, that's a possible outcome here is that she'll never stand trial.

00:41:21.860 She'll be ruled unable to be rehabilitated or whatever and mentally rehabilitated. 0.98

00:41:28.160 And she'll never stand trial.

00:41:29.160 And then she'll go back to the hospital. 0.93

00:41:32.880 Presumably.

00:41:33.900 So the whole thing's a joke.

00:41:35.160 It's a sick joke.

00:41:36.460 This woman does not need treatment. 1.00

00:41:38.760 She doesn't have a disease. 1.00

00:41:40.500 She is evil. 1.00

00:41:42.060 And evil exists in the world. 0.88

00:41:43.800 Evil people do evil things.

00:41:45.600 And these days, we look at evil things that people do, and we say, well, why would someone do that?

00:41:53.120 You know, they must have some kind of illness.

00:41:55.840 Because I can't understand why anybody would do such a terrible thing, and so they must be sick.

00:42:00.780 They must be sick in the sense of having some kind of illness.

00:42:05.840 No, they do it because they're evil.

00:42:08.720 Like, it's not that complicated.

00:42:10.900 It's awful.

00:42:11.640 Well, it's incomprehensible in terms of the suffering that it causes, but it's not complicated. 0.97

00:42:18.580 She's evil. 1.00

00:42:19.620 Why did she kill the child? 0.99

00:42:20.900 She killed the child because she wanted to kill the child. 0.89

00:42:24.260 And I don't mean that in any kind of flippant way. 0.95

00:42:28.280 She killed the child because she wanted to kill the child. 0.89

00:42:31.300 So the motive is clear.

00:42:33.600 Why did she want to?

00:42:34.800 Well, because evil people enjoy doing evil things.

00:42:37.580 And I know it's, we don't like to think about that.

00:42:43.640 We don't want to stare into the dark heart of the sort of person who would find joy in murdering a three-year-old child.

00:42:52.360 We don't want, it's a very, it's a scary, disturbing thing to think about and reflect on.

00:42:57.480 And I don't want to think about it or reflect on it, but we have to.

00:43:02.760 And we're left with the reality that, you know, she gets some kind of perverse pleasure out of inflicting that kind of suffering on innocent people.

00:43:13.620 How could she get pleasure out of it?

00:43:19.180 Well, I don't, I can't understand that mindset.

00:43:21.560 I can't relate to it.

00:43:22.520 Neither can you.

00:43:24.060 But that doesn't mean that she's incompetent.

00:43:26.360 It just means that she's evil at a level that normal, decent people cannot comprehend.

00:43:31.260 And what should we do with people who are evil at that level?

00:43:35.620 Well, we should swiftly escort them off the stage.

00:43:39.260 The stage of life, I mean.

00:43:40.560 They should be removed from existence, legally.

00:43:44.260 Okay, I'm saying that a fair trial should be held, and they should be convicted if they're guilty.

00:43:50.640 And then within 24 to 48 hours, they should be legally executed by legitimate authorities empowered to carry out the sentence.

00:43:58.480 And as I implied earlier, I don't think it needs to be painless either, personally. 0.92

00:44:04.600 The idea that execution should be painless is silly, in my opinion. 0.95

00:44:08.340 I think the woman deserves to feel pain. 1.00

00:44:10.560 In fact, she can never in this life even experience all of the pain she deserves to feel.

00:44:18.220 So we certainly don't need to minimize her pain or discomfort. 0.91

00:44:22.040 I think it's a ridiculous, like another one of these ridiculous modern notions that you could have someone who's so awful, 0.99

00:44:27.900 such a, so barbaric, that they deserve to be executed, but it's really important. 0.99

00:44:33.220 Oh, we had to do it in a painless way. 0.98

00:44:34.660 Like, why?

00:44:35.800 Why?

00:44:37.280 Why do they, does she not deserve to feel pain? 1.00

00:44:39.200 Of course she deserves it.

00:44:40.560 She deserves to feel pain. 0.91

00:44:42.640 It's, that is justice.

00:44:44.600 You know, I've said this many times.

00:44:45.720 Justice is giving people what they are due.

00:44:48.800 That is justice.

00:44:49.540 That's the definition of justice.

00:44:50.800 To give people what they are due.

00:44:52.180 And she is due pain and death.

00:44:54.980 That's what she's due.

00:44:55.980 And she should be given what she is due legally and legitimately.

00:45:00.520 That's what the justice system should do. 1.00

00:45:03.800 Should look at someone like this and say, what you deserve, what you are due is pain and death.

00:45:08.600 And you're going to get it. 0.66

00:45:13.040 In fact, the whole concept of being too incompetent to stand trial is a misnomer, in my view.

00:45:21.340 I mean, it makes no sense.

00:45:22.040 It's absurd. 0.92

00:45:22.560 It's like, you know, is this woman incompetent in a certain sense? 1.00

00:45:28.240 Yeah, I'm sure she is.

00:45:31.120 Because competent people don't murder children. 0.96

00:45:35.340 And what I mean is that she's obviously an extremely dysfunctional person with a very twisted mind. 0.93

00:45:47.400 And that's true of anybody who commits a deeply evil act.

00:45:50.460 These are not people with healthy minds.

00:45:52.900 These are not competent, normal, functional people.

00:45:55.920 If they were, they wouldn't have done these things.

00:46:00.200 But so what?

00:46:01.140 I mean, the criminal justice system exists for these kinds of people.

00:46:06.420 That's why we have trials.

00:46:08.100 It's why we have punishment.

00:46:09.080 It's why we have jails. 0.95

00:46:10.640 It's why we have execution chambers. 0.90

00:46:13.660 It's for people who are not competent enough to live as decent, civilized people. 0.53

00:46:20.520 And so the fact that they are not decent, civilized people, that doesn't mean that, oh, well, no, we can't put them on trial.

00:46:26.640 You see what I'm saying?

00:46:27.200 It doesn't.

00:46:27.960 No, the trials exist for people like that.

00:46:30.000 That's why we have this.

00:46:32.800 Oh, no, she's too dysfunctional to go to jail. 1.00

00:46:35.460 What?

00:46:36.580 What do you think it's there for?

00:46:39.560 Exactly that.

00:46:41.460 For people who are too dysfunctional in the extreme, in a violent extreme, are so dysfunctional that they cannot be in society anymore.

00:46:51.400 And if it's to the greatest extreme, as it is with this person, then even jail is not enough.

00:47:04.860 Because it would not be justice.

00:47:06.420 And the other thing about people like this is that if eventually she does stand trial and go to prison for the rest of her life. 0.80

00:47:19.900 And this, by the way, I think is one of the best arguments for the death penalty.

00:47:25.440 And it's one of the things that convinced me, because as I've said in the past, I used to be kind of anti-death penalty, and I changed my mind on it in the last several years.

00:47:37.120 But one of the things that brought me over to the pro side is thinking about the fact that, well, if you don't have the death penalty, what do you do with the worst kinds of people?

00:47:53.240 The people that commit the most heinous crimes, people that kill children, what do you do with them?

00:47:58.580 Well, you put them in prison, but the problem is that they are so terrible, and they are so barbaric, and what they've done is so evil, that even the prison population will reject them.

00:48:12.080 And so then, either you're taking this person and just throwing them into general population, which is basically a death sentence, and only you're just letting nature take its course.

00:48:23.240 Or, which, but we don't do that, so then the other option is to put them in protective custody for the rest of their lives.

00:48:32.420 And what that means is then society, and by that I mean the taxpayers, are now actually paying extra.

00:48:39.280 We're making extra effort and paying more money as taxpayers to take care of this person and keep them alive and to protect them from the other prisoners for the rest of their lives,

00:48:52.040 because what they've done is so heinous that they can't even be around other murderers.

00:48:58.720 And that I find to be, that's perverse.

00:49:01.000 It's like, that is unjust.

00:49:04.660 It's unjust.

00:49:05.540 It's unfair, I mean, most of all to the victims, the families of the victims, but it's unfair to society.

00:49:12.080 You can't go to society and say, you know what, okay, well, here's the price tag for keeping people in prison.

00:49:17.580 And we all know that you've got to have prison, so we've got to be willing to pay for that.

00:49:22.400 I'm more than willing to pay the tab for people going to prison.

00:49:27.120 But then we're saying, okay, and here's the bonus, here's the extra amount you need to pay in order to keep the worst people on the planet alive.

00:49:42.200 And to that I say, no, we just can't.

00:49:45.260 Like, if you're so terrible that we have to pay extra to keep you alive in prison, then no.

00:49:49.600 Then that should be your ticket out of here.

00:49:52.320 And, you know, and if you wanted to say, okay, well then, yeah, just leave them in the general population and whatever.

00:50:00.520 They've got to deal with the consequences of their actions, you know, that I'd be fine with that if the only argument against that is that it creates chaos in the prison system and puts prison guards in danger as well.

00:50:10.500 So, you know, so then you're left with, you know, this is why we have the death penalty.

00:50:18.320 This is why we have capital punishment for people like this.

00:50:22.320 Man, have you heard of Rose Sparks?

00:50:24.080 This dual action prescription merges the powerhouse ingredients found in generic Viagra and Cialis, Sildenafil and Taldalafil into one formidable treatment.

00:50:32.900 But it's not merely about the ingredients in the medication, it's how you're taking it.

00:50:36.040 That's why Rose Sparks are designed to dissolve under your tongue. 1.00

00:50:38.800 That's huge because dissolvable treatment hits your bloodstream faster than old school pills.

00:52:18.860 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:52:19.980 Today for our daily cancellation, we turn to a new study that reveals something that will surprise no one.

00:52:30.760 The New York Post reports, quote,

00:52:32.000 Gen Z employees are entitled, too easily offended, lazy, and generally unprepared for the workplace, according to their new bosses.

00:52:38.460 The dismal assessment of workers born between 1996 and 2010 comes in a poll of 966 business leaders across the country,

00:52:44.960 taken last month by the online education magazine Intelligent.com.

00:52:47.900 A survey found 75% of execs felt most of the recent college grads they hired were unsuccessful.

00:52:53.420 60% said at least some of them had to be fired.

00:52:56.100 The supervisors, who ranged from C-suite execs and business owners to senior and human resource managers at companies with more than 10 employees,

00:53:02.420 said that they'll refrain from hiring Gen Z workers in the coming year.

00:53:06.080 Quote,

00:53:06.320 With Gen Z, they've got a ton of access to information, a lot of different content, news sources, and influences,

00:53:11.800 said Hugh Nguyen, chief education and career development advisor for Intelligent and a former Fortune 500 hiring manager.

00:53:19.500 So when they go into a company that has more traditional norms, you get a situation where it doesn't always mesh, he told the Post.

00:53:23.620 About 70%, 17% of leaders believe Gen Z who range and age from their teens to about 28 is often too difficult to manage,

00:53:30.860 and 39% said they have poor communication skills.

00:53:34.140 Jessen James, an international entrepreneur, business mentor, and speaker, said some Gen Zers struggle to articulate themselves,

00:53:39.720 don't look you in the eye, and don't project their voices.

00:53:42.540 They lack charisma and personality skills, he told the Post, adding,

00:53:45.860 I don't feel that they are in tune with what it takes to impress others.

00:53:50.240 Now keep in mind, by the way, that many Zoomers, especially the younger half of that generation, 0.99

00:53:54.840 have spent all day on their phones, every day of their lives, practically since birth.

00:53:59.960 Most of their communication and engagement with the outside world has been facilitated by the phone.

00:54:04.720 So it's no wonder that they struggle to relate and engage in person.

00:54:07.900 You don't need to have personality skills on your phone.

00:54:12.380 You don't need to have a personality at all, really, when you're on social media.

00:54:16.720 You're constructing an image that maybe bears no resemblance, really, to your real personality.

00:54:23.320 So you cannot give your child a phone, invite them to spend every waking hour of their day staring at the phone,

00:54:30.640 and then scratch your head and wonder why they grew into adults with no social skills or personalities.

00:54:35.700 You know, it's inevitable.

00:54:38.200 We'll return to that point in a moment, reading on, quote,

00:54:40.640 James has seen what he calls snowflake-ism, some Gen Zers crumbling under even a little pressure. 1.00

00:54:45.860 It's almost like you have to walk on eggshells around them, being super sensitive when managing them

00:54:49.060 in case you offend them, upset them, or push them too far, he said.

00:54:51.480 Some 20-somethings have even brought a parent with them to job interviews for support.

00:54:56.020 Corporate environments and office culture have relaxed in recent years when noted

00:54:59.040 and are viewed differently between generations.

00:55:00.840 But even with a more laid-back office environment,

00:55:03.220 recent college grads don't dress professionally and don't use appropriate language for work,

00:55:06.900 19% of those surveyed said.

00:55:08.860 About 20% of respondents said Gen Zers are often late to work.

00:55:11.500 15% said they frequently hand assignments in late.

00:55:14.320 The younger generation is also more likely to use up their sick days than their older colleagues,

00:55:18.640 recent studies have found.

00:55:19.580 A side note on the sick day thing is, and this will be unpopular, especially with younger

00:55:27.140 people, but you shouldn't be using sick days, okay?

00:55:30.840 I've used sick days maybe twice in seven years.

00:55:33.500 And in both of those cases, because I lost my voice and I couldn't speak,

00:55:37.400 you can't blame me for that.

00:55:38.620 It's impossible to do a podcast when you can't speak.

00:55:41.980 And even then, I still, and anyone who watches, who's been watching the show for a while,

00:55:45.180 you know this, I still came into the office and recorded a video with subtitles when I lost my

00:55:52.300 voice, if you recall.

00:55:53.940 But generally speaking, again, I know this is unpopular, but sick days are for children, okay?

00:56:00.240 They're for kids in school who are trying to stay home so they don't have to take a test that day.

00:56:04.500 Like, with rare exception, taking a sick day as an adult should be pretty embarrassing for you.

00:56:11.760 Calling your boss and saying, sorry, I can't come in today, my tummy hurts, is humiliating.

00:56:17.540 You need to be at work, okay?

00:56:19.920 Adults don't have time to be sick.

00:56:22.440 They don't have time for it.

00:56:23.800 That's, that's, I was just having this, this conversation with Mike, with my kids recently,

00:56:28.020 actually, because I was, I was kind of under the weather and my kids were aware of that.

00:56:33.320 And they said, well, so why are you going to work?

00:56:36.120 I said, because I don't have time to be sick, okay?

00:56:38.520 I don't know.

00:56:38.940 I can't be, I don't have time, but you are sick.

00:56:40.760 Yeah, but I don't have time for it.

00:56:41.800 So it's like, I'm, I'm operating as though I'm not.

00:56:47.980 Fisher, finishing up the article, quote, but many bosses are trying to tame the immature

00:56:51.780 hires, even mandating office etiquette training.

00:56:54.320 54% of the company leaders surveyed said they offer the training and many mandate it for

00:56:58.520 new hires and a quarter of them specifically require it for Gen Z recruits.

00:57:02.720 So the fundamental problem for Gen Zers in the workplace is that many of them, not all, 1.00

00:57:08.760 but, but many have never really been introduced to, and this is really what it comes down to.

00:57:14.120 They've never been introduced to a concept called obligation, otherwise known as responsibilities

00:57:19.340 or duties.

00:57:20.120 They are failing in the workplace because work is all about fulfilling your responsibilities,

00:57:24.600 even if you don't want to, or don't feel like it, even if it's stressful or difficult,

00:57:28.880 even if it makes you feel bad, even if you're anxious about it, okay?

00:57:33.900 Even if you're feeling depressed, even if you're whatever, you still have to do your job.

00:57:40.560 And, and being at whatever you do for a living, being at a job is, is to be in a place where

00:57:44.700 the main thing, like, yes, your value in that place depends on whether or not you are performing

00:57:52.540 the tasks that you're supposed to perform.

00:57:54.880 And that doesn't mean that your value as a person, as a human being is, is dependent on

00:58:00.020 that, but your value in the job is entirely dependent on whether or not you're performing

00:58:05.540 the tasks that you're supposed to perform.

00:58:07.840 And, and that is the, the first and really only thing that matters.

00:58:12.920 And, and that is, that's the environment you're in when you're in the workplace.

00:58:17.940 Where it's, it's all, it's always like, what have you done for me lately?

00:58:21.080 What, what, what are you doing?

00:58:22.460 That's what I care about.

00:58:23.280 And that was always going to be an environment that's very difficult for a lot of people that

00:58:29.060 were raised the way that, that the kids are raised today.

00:58:31.620 Perhaps the number one skill required to be a functional adult, much less a successful

00:58:35.680 one, is the ability to do things you don't want to do.

00:58:40.200 And to not only do them, but do them well.

00:58:43.300 This is a facet of adult life that is so basic, it's so fundamental that in previous generations,

00:58:47.580 it didn't even need to be articulated, right?

00:58:50.260 Nobody would, would have even need, needed to explain this to you.

00:58:53.820 But these days we have multiple generations, not just Gen Z, this applies to many millennials

00:58:57.700 as well, who really do struggle with even the concept that they should have to do things

00:59:02.360 they don't want to do and fulfill obligations that are not fun to fulfill.

00:59:05.980 For them in their world, they should be able to get out of anything simply by saying, well,

00:59:10.940 this makes me feel bad.

00:59:12.560 The idea of forging ahead and doing what must be done in spite of how you feel is foreign

00:59:16.760 to them.

00:59:18.300 Successful adults know that you can't let feelings guide you.

00:59:20.860 You have to act and do what you need to do and the feelings will follow behind.

00:59:25.300 You can't wait until you feel happy and then act.

00:59:27.220 You act first and eventually you'll find that you also feel happy.

00:59:29.460 Happiness is a byproduct of a well-lived life.

00:59:32.320 It is not the starting point.

00:59:33.840 It's not the entryway.

00:59:34.900 Unsuccessful and dysfunctional adults try to flip this around.

00:59:38.220 They insist that they must feel happy first and then they'll act.

00:59:42.740 But you can't conjure happiness out of the ether like that.

00:59:45.600 You can't sit around waiting to feel it.

00:59:47.400 The more you sit around waiting, the more your life falls apart around you and the more

00:59:50.660 unhappy you are as a result of that.

00:59:52.380 So it's a vicious cycle that never ends.

00:59:55.280 Many people in Gen Z struggle with this concept, but that's not entirely their own fault.

01:00:00.700 It's the job of parents to convey this message to their children.

01:00:05.760 My own kids struggle with this, as all kids do.

01:00:09.220 And so sometimes, you know, every parent has heard this.

01:00:12.720 I'll tell my kids to do something.

01:00:14.380 Clean your room, do the dishes, whatever.

01:00:16.540 And sometimes you'll get the response, but I don't want to.

01:00:19.420 And for a child, this is a logical rebuttal, right?

01:00:24.200 They don't want to complete a certain task, and therefore, they shouldn't have to.

01:00:28.120 This is how their mind works.

01:00:30.900 And I was just having this conversation with my four-year-old reason.

01:00:36.140 And I told her to clean up her room, and this was her aunt. 0.99

01:00:39.140 Well, I don't want to.

01:00:40.060 And I'm explaining to her, well, you don't want to, but you're still going to, okay?

01:00:46.340 You need to, even if you don't want to.

01:00:47.820 And as I'm talking to her, I can tell, I can see in her face that she really is,

01:00:52.460 she's struggling to understand that concept.

01:00:54.900 She doesn't quite understand.

01:00:56.160 It's actually a disconnect here, because she's four.

01:00:58.160 And so for her, it's like, well, wait a second.

01:01:00.440 But I don't want to, what do you mean I should do?

01:01:02.200 But I don't want to.

01:01:03.060 Why should I have to do a thing I don't want to do?

01:01:06.420 And this is one of the great struggles as a parent, is to get this message across to your kids.

01:01:11.920 It's up to me as the parent to help them understand that just because they don't want to do it,

01:01:15.820 doesn't mean they don't have to do it.

01:01:18.040 Nobody wants to clean their room, yet the room needs to be cleaned.

01:01:21.720 Right?

01:01:21.980 So we're at an impasse.

01:01:23.140 What must be done and what you want to do are not aligned.

01:01:26.560 And whenever that happens, the former must win out.

01:01:29.540 And it's my job as a parent to teach my children this.

01:01:32.700 If you don't teach your children, they will grow into adults who have the mentality of children.

01:01:37.080 They won't make it in the workforce.

01:01:38.740 They won't make it in life generally.

01:01:40.560 And many older people did not instill these life lessons in their kids.

01:01:46.100 And now they sit around complaining about the generation that they failed to properly raise.

01:01:52.260 That's what it really comes down to.

01:01:54.140 And that is why these Gen Zers in the workforce and their parents are all today canceled. 0.72

01:02:01.560 That'll do it for the show today.

01:02:02.440 Thanks for watching.

01:02:02.960 Thanks for listening.

01:02:03.520 Have a great day.

01:02:04.680 Republicans are Nazis. 1.00

01:02:13.080 You cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people. 1.00

01:02:16.740 Growing up, I never thought much about race. 0.96

01:02:18.600 It never really seemed to matter that much.

01:02:20.440 At least not to me.

01:02:21.260 Am I racist?

01:02:22.440 I would really appreciate it if you love.

01:02:23.720 I'm trying to learn.

01:02:24.440 I'm on this journey.

01:02:25.700 If I'm going to sort this out, I need to go deeper undercover.

01:02:29.900 They don't say I'm racist.

01:02:36.060 What you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness. 0.71

01:02:38.800 This is more for you than this for you.

01:02:39.780 Is America inherently racist?

01:02:41.340 The word inherent is challenging there.

01:02:43.320 I want to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument.

01:02:46.440 America is racist to its bones.

01:02:48.320 So inherently. 0.98
