The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1461 - This Shockingly Easy Test Has Been Deemed ＂Racist.＂ Here's Why.

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, Biden's DOJ has announced that a test given to firefighter

00:00:04.120 applicants is racist because too many black applicants were failing it. Today, we will go

00:00:08.640 through some of the sample questions from this test that was allegedly too difficult. You will

00:00:12.480 truly be shocked and possibly terrified by how easy it actually is. Also, a college professor

00:00:18.160 has been placed on leave after announcing during class that men who refuse to vote for Kamala Harris

00:00:21.980 should be lined up in shots. And all of the major sports leagues in the country have teamed up

00:00:26.640 for a courageous campaign to put an end to hate. Just wait until you see

00:00:30.480 how inspiring this campaign truly is. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:02:17.880 You know, one of the things you learn as you get older is that, sadly, Schoolhouse Rock was a lie.

00:02:24.100 They told us that if the government wants to enact a major policy change that affects the lives of

00:02:28.640 millions of people, there's supposedly a procedure in place that they have to follow. A bill needs to

00:02:33.600 originate in Congress, then Congress votes on the bill, then the president signs it, and it becomes

00:02:38.360 law. Of course, there are about a million different ways that the federal government gets around this

00:02:42.440 whole procedure. In fact, just a few years ago, the Obama administration pioneered get another tactic to

00:02:47.380 circumvent what voters actually want. This is a tactic that's had enormous ramifications for this

00:02:53.460 country over the past decade. Their tool of choice was something called consent decrees, which are

00:02:59.060 basically court settlements. And here's how the scam worked. The Obama DOJ would accuse local police

00:03:05.000 departments all over the country of being racist. They'd use the massive resources of the federal

00:03:09.940 government to file lawsuits against these local police departments, which threatened to deplete the

00:03:14.880 much more limited resources of local governments. And so in almost every case, police departments

00:03:19.440 would settle the lawsuits and agree to oversight by the DOJ, which in plain English meant that they

00:03:24.620 stopped enforcing the law. After all, they didn't want to be accused of racism anymore. And this is

00:03:30.020 how, without ever passing a law, the Obama administration kick-started the end of policing in this country

00:03:35.740 effectively. One of these consent decrees came about in the aftermath of Michael Brown's death in

00:03:40.720 Ferguson, Missouri. As you probably remember, Brown violently robbed a store and then he attacked a

00:03:46.220 police officer, tried to take his gun before the officer shot him in self-defense. That's the version

00:03:50.740 of events that even Obama's DOJ eventually admitted was true. But the DOJ knew that in order to lend some

00:03:57.020 legitimacy to the BLM riots surrounding this event, they had to come down hard on Ferguson's police

00:04:03.640 department somehow. They had to find a way to make sure that the police stopped trying to arrest

00:04:08.780 violent thugs like Michael Brown. To that end, the DOJ went to court and they accused the Ferguson

00:04:15.960 police department of being systematically racist. The DOJ said that the department was guilty of,

00:04:22.140 quote, using criteria or methods of administration that have an unnecessary disparate impact based on

00:04:27.940 race, color, or national origin. And the DOJ won the case. Ferguson settled and agreed to years of

00:04:34.700 oversight by the DOJ, which basically meant that there would be no more policing in the city. And

00:04:41.080 Ferguson, as a result, became an even more deadly hellhole. Afterwards, racial equity was therefore

00:04:48.000 achieved. So what was the evidence that Ferguson's police department was racist? Exactly. Well, let's see.

00:04:56.880 The DOJ alleged that Ferguson PD engaged in a pattern and practice of discrimination.

00:05:01.960 And here's their evidence. I'll put it up on the screen. You can see it there.

00:05:06.340 As you can see, this chart reads, between 2012 and 2014, African-Americans represented two-thirds

00:05:11.120 of the population in Ferguson, but they represented a much higher percentage of those stopped and

00:05:15.380 arrested. And the data shows that blacks made up 67% of the population, but accounted for 85% of

00:05:21.900 vehicle stops and 93% of arrests. Then there's this chart from the DOJ, which reads, quote,

00:05:29.060 90% of people who received a citation in Ferguson were African-American. 95% of all manner of walking 0.70

00:05:35.400 and roadway charges were filed against African-Americans. 94% of all failure to comply

00:05:40.680 charges were filed against African-Americans. Now, you might notice something missing from this

00:05:47.140 analysis. They're not addressing the rather important question of whether African-Americans

00:05:53.100 are committing more crimes than other demographic groups and whether that's the reason why they 0.97

00:05:59.640 are being arrested more. They're just assuming that because they make up 67% of the population,

00:06:05.940 black people must only be committing 67% of the crimes. Any other outcome must be racist, 0.86

00:06:12.580 according to the DOJ. If black people make up 67% of the population, but 68% of people who are

00:06:19.400 arrested are black, then clearly the department is 1% racist. That's kind of the extent of their

00:06:25.320 thought process. That's the way the math works in their diluted version of reality. They just don't

00:06:32.940 consider any other variables, at least in these charts, they don't. Now, if you go and pull up the

00:06:38.100 DOJ's full investigative report on Ferguson, you'll find that they do eventually attempt to address

00:06:44.640 sort of this objection. They include one paragraph about controlling for other variables. And here's

00:06:51.220 that paragraph, quote, these disparities in the outcomes that result from traffic stops remain

00:06:55.640 even after regression analysis is used to control for non-race-based variables, including driver age,

00:07:02.240 gender, the assignment of the officer making the stop, disparities in officer behavior, and the stated

00:07:08.340 reason the stop was initiated. Upon accounting for differences in those variables, African-Americans

00:07:12.700 remain 2.07 times more likely to be searched, 2 times more likely to receive a citation, and 2.37 times

00:07:22.400 more likely to be arrested than other stopped individuals. Now, there's still a lot missing from this

00:07:28.200 analysis, as you may notice. They don't account for what happens after the traffic stop begins. You know,

00:07:35.040 they say they account for disparities in officer behavior, but they don't say anything about disparities

00:07:39.900 and suspect behavior, which is really the question here. So that leaves a pretty big thing, a big factor

00:07:47.480 out of the equation. If you get pulled over and you tell the cop to go to hell in no uncertain terms,

00:07:54.460 and then you start running away, the odds are that your traffic stop probably won't go very well. You might get

00:08:01.600 searched. You might wind up with a citation. You might get arrested. But the DOJ just leaves that out of

00:08:07.620 its analysis entirely. They pretend in their analysis that every single person who gets stopped

00:08:11.960 responds exactly the same way, which is insane, of course. There are other variables they don't

00:08:20.680 consider either, like the criminal history of the person being stopped, which can obviously influence

00:08:24.780 whether or not they're searched, particularly if they're on probation or if they have a warrant

00:08:28.120 that's discovered after the stop is initiated. They don't account for any of these variables because

00:08:32.780 their goal is to conclude that the police are racist so that they can destroy the police department.

00:08:37.720 And they know that nobody will ever look closely at the government data anyway. And by the way,

00:08:43.600 pretty much all government data is basically like this. It's full of lies and manipulation. It falls

00:08:48.340 apart the moment you look closely at it. Now, in any event, this is the disparate impact theory of law,

00:08:55.760 which has been used to dismantle police departments all over the country, from Ferguson to New Orleans to

00:09:00.380 Cleveland. This is a tactic from the DOJ that was mostly dormant during the Trump years. But the

00:09:07.280 Biden-Harris administration has brought it back. And they're not just coming for police officers

00:09:11.880 anymore. They're also coming for firefighters now. So the Biden-DOJ has just announced that the fire

00:09:17.860 department in Durham, North Carolina, has to change its screening tests for new applicants and pay massive

00:09:25.820 damages because the test is supposedly racist. They also have to hire a bunch of failed applicants who

00:09:32.060 couldn't pass the test. Watch.

00:09:34.840 The Durham Fire Department is reaching a new settlement agreement tonight amid accusations

00:09:40.060 of discrimination in its testing. And now the city is going to have to pay out nearly a million

00:09:44.180 dollars. CBS 17's Ben Boken is in Durham tonight, getting some answers about what took place.

00:09:49.120 A new complaint tonight claims the Durham Fire Department is screening job seekers with a

00:09:56.740 written test that discriminates against black candidates. And just hours after the announcement

00:10:01.000 of a settlement, Durham Fire Chief Bob Zoldos is responding. We were a little shocked that our test,

00:10:07.060 which shows validation, shows vetting, and is produced by a company that produces tests for

00:10:13.040 hundreds of fire departments, and they've reviewed thousands of candidates. We were a little

00:10:18.560 shocked that our test was no longer considered valid by DOJ. Under the terms of the agreement,

00:10:24.240 the Durham Fire Department must pay $980,000 in back pay to black applicants who were disqualified

00:10:29.820 with the challenge test. They also must hire up to 16 of those candidates who successfully complete

00:10:35.080 the new firefighter selection process, and the department must stop using the test and replace it.

00:10:40.440 With this Title VII violation, the Justice Department says Durham Fire's test does not distinguish

00:10:45.140 between who can and cannot perform the duties of a firefighter. We're going to have to really work

00:10:49.680 hard to make sure that we have a test that is understandable to everyone. Now, the fire department's

00:10:56.580 understandably shocked that the DOJ has suddenly labeled their test racist, and now they're being

00:11:01.040 forced to hire a bunch of applicants who cannot pass the test. But that's exactly what's happening.

00:11:06.820 Quoting from the DOJ's press release, the city's fire department screens applicants with a written

00:11:10.540 test that discriminates against black candidates. The complaint, filed yesterday in the Middle District

00:11:15.720 of North Carolina, alleges that the city's uses of the written test called the Comprehensive Examination

00:11:20.300 Battery disproportionately exclude black candidates from employment as firefighters. The department

00:11:25.120 further alleges that the Durham Fire Department's uses of the test are not job-related and consistent

00:11:30.620 with business necessity and thus violate Title VII. So, what is this test exactly? How can a test

00:11:38.940 be racist be racist? And how can it be not job-related? Well, to answer those questions, I went and pulled

00:11:47.160 up a study guide for the Comprehensive Examination Battery Test, which is what these firefighters have

00:11:52.260 to take. And the study guide was created by Fire and Police Selection Incorporated. It's the company

00:11:57.300 that deploys and validates the tests that are used by thousands of local agencies all over the country,

00:12:02.200 including police departments and fire departments. So, this study guide is coming from the right source,

00:12:07.140 and we can learn, you know, if the test is racist somehow, this would be, this is where we would find

00:12:13.460 that out. So, here are some representative practice questions from the hardest section of the test,

00:12:21.840 which is the math section. Here's one, and this will be a fun little trivia quiz for anyone listening at home

00:12:30.620 to try to solve these questions yourselves. Find out if you could be a firefighter.

00:12:36.380 Question one, a firefighter determines that 350 feet of hose is needed to reach a particular building.

00:12:43.360 If the hoses are 60 feet in length, what is the minimum number of lengths of hose needed?

00:12:50.160 Is it three lengths, four lengths, five lengths, or six? Now, the test allows you to perform the

00:13:00.000 calculation in the booklet if you need to. You can use a pencil and scribble some notes.

00:13:06.640 But this is such a basic question that it shouldn't require that. I mean, there are students in

00:13:12.920 elementary school who can answer this question in about 10 seconds. Five lengths would be 300 feet of

00:13:19.900 hose, which isn't enough. So, you need six lengths to cover the 350 feet of hose. Now, I'm far from

00:13:28.520 a math whiz myself, but even I could answer that without a calculator. And all of the questions are

00:13:34.300 like this. So, here's another one. Office sprinkler heads spray water at an average of 25 gallons per

00:13:40.940 minute. If four sprinkler heads are flowing at the same rate, at the same time in the same rate,

00:13:46.360 how many total gallons of water will be released in 15 minutes? Is it 100 gallons, 315 gallons,

00:13:54.100 375 gallons, or 1,500 gallons? So, let's think about this brain teaser for a moment.

00:14:02.180 Four sprinkler heads would be spraying 100 gallons per minute, since one sprinkler head sprays 25 gallons

00:14:08.820 per minute. Therefore, to find out how many gallons of water you get in 15 minutes, all you have to do

00:14:15.300 is multiply 100 times 15, which should get you 1,500. And by the way, even if you can't do that

00:14:24.180 calculation easily, you should still be able to look at the multiple choice questions and immediately

00:14:29.660 identify that the first three options are definitely too low to be the correct answer, which leaves you

00:14:36.080 with 1,500 just by the process of elimination. So, there are two ways to get the right answer here.

00:14:41.040 Either you can have a fifth grader's grasp on the rules of mathematics or a fifth grader's basic

00:14:47.180 common sense. If you have both, then you're really in good shape. And to be clear, I'm not cherry

00:14:54.880 picking the easiest questions here. There's another question that just asks applicants to compute the

00:15:00.320 sum of four numbers. And again, they can write in the booklet if they need to. This is as difficult

00:15:06.620 as the math section of the test gets, which again is the hardest section in the entire test.

00:15:12.780 There's also a reading section, which I can't simulate here because I'm not going to read the

00:15:17.300 entire passage, but you know, they do want to make sure that you can read. But maybe the most alarming,

00:15:22.500 because it's the easiest section in the entire test, is the human relations portion. So, here's

00:15:30.180 the top sample question in that part of the packet. And this is the doozy that black firefighter 1.00

00:15:37.880 applicants in places like Durham had to contend with. And this is the kind of question that we're 0.91

00:15:43.680 told is racist. And I'm not making this up, by the way. This is real. This is a real question.

00:15:50.660 Quote, you are transporting an injured and intoxicated male who has a large amount of

00:15:57.840 money protruding from his pocket. While transporting him to the emergency room,

00:16:02.700 you notice that money falls out of his pocket. Identify the most appropriate and least appropriate

00:16:09.840 response. Do you, A, pretend you didn't see the man drop the money? B, wait until you go back

00:16:19.780 outside and take the money if no one else has found it. C, pick up the money and give it to emergency

00:16:26.300 room staff for safekeeping. Or D, pick up the money and place it next to the victim's hand. 0.95

00:16:34.240 That's the actual question. Do you steal the money? Do you ignore it? Do you throw it by the hand of the

00:16:41.740 drunk, injured guy who's in no position to be carrying it? Or do you give it to the ER staff for

00:16:47.700 safekeeping? Essentially, this is a question meant to test whether the applicant has a moral sensibility

00:16:57.180 somewhat more sophisticated than that of a lizard, let's say. Now, to those who are able to get above

00:17:05.660 that bar, the answer is obviously C, which corresponds to pick up the money and give it to

00:17:12.340 the ER staff for safekeeping. Hopefully, I don't have to explain this, but the least appropriate

00:17:20.980 response would be to steal the money, which is answer B. That is, stealing the money is actually

00:17:29.300 never the most, it's never going to be the most appropriate way to respond to a situation.

00:17:36.060 I can't think of a scenario where stealing from an unconscious man would be the most appropriate

00:17:41.800 thing you could do. I mean, I guess, I mean, well, okay, maybe it depends on what the other options are.

00:17:47.000 If, like, the other options are kill him, I don't know, set a building on fire, shoot a puppy, 0.98

00:17:58.420 or steal from the guy, then, like, I guess in that case, the stealing would be the most appropriate 1.00

00:18:05.680 of all the options. But, you know, if one of the options is to not steal and the other option is to

00:18:11.560 steal, then, like, the not steal option is generally going to be the right one. So this should not be a

00:18:16.340 difficult question for anyone to answer, regardless of their skin color. If somebody says that questions

00:18:23.520 like this are racist, which is what the DOJ has said, then they're making a pretty clear generalization

00:18:31.780 about the attitudes and behaviors of certain racial groups. They're saying that it's racist to ask

00:18:37.760 applicants whether or not they should steal from a drunk, you know, incapacitated man.

00:18:46.340 Again, a child could answer this question correctly. I am quite confident that I could give

00:18:53.640 that stumper to my five-year-old daughter, and she would easily answer it correctly. 0.98

00:19:01.000 Any child could, unless the child happens to be a budding psychopath. And even then, I think a 0.79

00:19:07.100 psychopathic child could still probably answer it correctly. And the whole test is like this.

00:19:12.940 It's like the most basic stuff you can imagine. There's a map reading section, which is obviously

00:19:20.040 important for firefighters because they need to know how to get to a place during an emergency.

00:19:24.640 And that's it. You can pull up the practice exam yourself if you want. You can see it for yourself.

00:19:30.080 In no sane universe is this test inappropriate, much less racist. If anything, it's far too easy.

00:19:38.920 The real scandal, if there is one at all, is that the standards are already so crushingly low.

00:19:47.640 But the Biden-Harris administration disagrees. They say the standards are too high.

00:19:53.060 That's what they say. And they say it for one reason. It's the same reason the Obama administration

00:19:56.940 harassed so many police officers. It's the same reason they decided that the entrance exam for air

00:20:02.020 traffic controllers was racist. The people running this country have determined that

00:20:06.960 they'll gain more power and more profit if they promote certain racial groups at the expense of

00:20:13.300 others. They don't care about competence. They only care about this new racial spoil system they've 0.90

00:20:20.040 created. And they certainly also, as much as we hear from the left about difficult conversations,

00:20:26.380 they certainly don't want to have a difficult conversation about why is it that so many black 1.00

00:20:34.080 applicants, if it is the case that so many black applicants were having trouble passing this test

00:20:38.660 at such an alarming rate, well, they don't really want to have to dive into that question in any kind

00:20:45.380 of serious way. So instead, we're just going to say, oh, well, the whole test is racist.

00:20:49.740 At the same time, they understand that most people wouldn't vote for this kind of thing.

00:21:00.660 Most people are not going to vote. If you put it up for a vote, should we lower the standards for

00:21:05.700 firefighters so that they don't have to be able to perform basic arithmetic? Most people are going to

00:21:13.680 say, no, we should not. Most people of all races will say, no, we should not. So the Biden administration

00:21:22.200 is using lawfare instead to get what they want. They've decreed that any test that might screen for IQ

00:21:28.000 or a well-adjusted personality or a basic moral compass is now racist. They want our police and

00:21:35.280 firefighters and air traffic controllers to be as dumb and immoral and incompetent as possible because 1.00

00:21:39.540 ultimately they think that that will advance their agenda. And as a bonus, it will also probably 1.00

00:21:44.020 punish the people who vote the wrong way. And they don't care if the infrastructure of this country

00:21:48.320 collapses as a result. That's why they want to replace your firefighters with people who can't

00:21:53.460 do basic arithmetic and will happily steal from you when you're on your way to the ER. That's why they

00:21:58.920 want to replace your air traffic controller with a moron who will direct your plane directly into the 1.00

00:22:04.240 flight path of another aircraft. That's why they want to replace your local police department with 0.99

00:22:10.020 seat warmers who have no incentive whatsoever to respond effectively to an emergency. They want to do

00:22:16.320 all of this so that eventually when the U.S. becomes a third world country, which we're well on our way to 0.99

00:22:21.440 being, they have all the power and you will have no one to call for help. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:22:34.240 Let's talk about something that's been on my mind lately, the war on masculinity. It seems like

00:22:42.060 everywhere you turn, society is trying to feminize men. We're bombarded with estrogenic chemicals and

00:22:47.740 from plastics, junk food, and sedentary lifestyles. It's not just talk. Testosterone levels have been

00:23:55.660 All right. So the post-millennial reports, a professor at the University of Kansas has been

00:24:00.400 put on administrative leave after telling students during a recent lecture that men who do not vote 0.96

00:24:04.540 for a female president should be lined up and shot. The comments were made by Professor Phil 0.97

00:24:10.260 Lowcock. Is that actually his name? Lowcock. That's his name. That's his name.

00:24:24.920 Anyway, the director of international student, I mean, you know, you can kind of understand with a

00:24:28.640 name like that, this guy, I mean, what a life this man has led. Who knows what that does to a man's

00:24:35.880 psyche? The director of international student athlete support who works in a university's

00:24:42.680 health, sport, and exercise science department is the one who said this. A video of the incident

00:24:47.920 posted to social media has since gone viral. So let's, let's watch Lowcock in this video here.

00:24:55.420 Here it is. Guys are smarter than girls. You got some serious problems.

00:25:00.020 Uh, that's what frustrates me. There are going to be some males in our society that will refuse to

00:25:08.080 vote for a potential female president because they don't think females are smart enough to be 1.00

00:25:13.760 president. We could line all those guys up and shoot them. They clearly don't understand the way 1.00

00:25:19.760 the world works. Did I say that? Scratch that from the recording. I don't want the deans hearing that

00:25:26.980 I said that. Um, okay. So that's just a violent fantasy from Lowcock that he's, uh, expressing

00:25:34.800 out loud. Uh, not, it's not even a joke. Like there's no joke there. There's no, there's no punch

00:25:41.480 line. He literally just said that people who disagree with him on this topic should be lined

00:25:46.140 up and shot. That's it. There's no, it's not, it's not like a, an inappropriate joke or a joke 1.00

00:25:52.700 where he revealed too much about his own political views or whatever. He really, he just simply

00:25:57.980 articulated a desire to see any man who doesn't vote for Kamala Harris executed. Um, not a joke.

00:26:04.600 This is how Lowcock feels now. Needless to say, um, even before we get to the violent fantasy

00:26:11.100 part of it, there's, there's no reason for Lowcock to be talking about this subject in the first place.

00:26:18.640 He works for the, what was it? The health sport and exercise sciences. He works in the, he's an

00:26:24.480 exercise science, uh, person, which he's a professor of exercise science. And yet he he's getting winded

00:26:33.960 just walking back and forth, giving this like, he's out of breath talking and yet he's an exercise

00:26:40.200 sciences. So there's all, I mean, there's all kinds of problems here with, uh, with this,

00:26:44.700 this guy and Lowcock and all of that. Um, but why is he talking about the election in the first

00:26:50.680 place is the question. What does that have to do with anything? Um, we, we, uh, the university of

00:26:57.180 Kansas though, did put out a statement responding to this and, uh, they put the guy, they, they put the

00:27:04.080 professor on leave. They said the university is aware of a classroom video in which an instructor

00:27:08.440 made an inappropriate reference to violence. The instructor is being placed on administrative leave

00:27:14.440 pending further investigation. The instructor offers his sincerest apologies and deeply regrets

00:27:19.040 the situation. His intent was to emphasize his advocacy for women's rights and equality. And he

00:27:24.220 recognizes he did a very poor job of doing so. The university has an established process for

00:27:29.200 situations like this and will follow that process. Oh, he's just trying to advocate for women's rights. 0.99

00:27:34.740 That's all. And the best way to do that was to call for men to be lined up and shot. Um, and this 0.99

00:27:41.140 is a pretty, it's a pretty accurate summation of the feminist agenda. He was in fact, articulating

00:27:45.740 the feminist vision for the world when he said that. So you have to give him that at least. Um,

00:27:51.800 and this is the ultimate way to virtue signal. If you're a white liberal male, uh, or a liberal

00:27:57.700 male of any race, you virtue signal by displaying a homicidal hatred towards your own demographic, 0.91

00:28:04.820 your own, uh, you know, towards people that are just like you. And, uh, uh, uh, if you're a male,

00:28:14.420 you, you present yourself as a totally emasculated castrated man. So his name is low cock. Maybe it 1.00

00:28:24.840 should be no cock. Uh, hopefully we can keep that in without bleeping it. We don't need to bleep that. 0.98

00:28:30.660 It ruins the joke. Uh, and what he's doing here, of course, aside from calling from the murder of

00:28:38.240 people, he disagrees with what he's doing is he's, he's of course, setting up the excuse for

00:28:43.880 Kamala ahead of time. If she loses, it's because people didn't want to vote for her because she's 1.00

00:28:49.180 a woman. Even though, even though literally nobody is saying that I have not heard a, a single person

00:28:58.540 you go to the, the farthest right fringe. I have not heard a single person say that the only thing

00:29:06.380 stopping them from voting for Kamala is that she's a woman. I have not seen or heard that opinion

00:29:11.660 expressed anywhere by anyone in the entire country, even on the internet where you can find someone,

00:29:20.060 whatever the opinion is, just imagine any opinion in your, in your head, make it as repulsive as you,

00:29:27.800 as you can imagine, you could find someone on the internet who has sincerely articulated that

00:29:33.300 opinion. And yet, even, even, even then you're not going to find anyone saying that. Um,

00:29:41.480 every single person who doesn't want to vote for Kamala Harris, uh, it's, it's because of who she is. 0.96

00:29:50.020 It's because of her policies, because of how incompetent she is. There's a million reasons, 1.00

00:29:53.920 but again, I haven't heard a single person who said, yeah, you know, I like, I like everything

00:29:58.960 about her. I think she'd be a great president. I would vote for her, but I'm not going to cause

00:30:06.560 she's a woman. I haven't heard that. And, you know, we talk a lot about the, uh, the race hustling

00:30:13.920 that goes on. We just, we just covered it in the opening monologue and I obviously made a whole movie

00:30:20.180 about it, but I think we're, we are moving to a place where, and we're not there yet, but I think

00:30:25.160 we're moving to a place where gender hustling is going to become even more prominent than race

00:30:32.920 hustling. The so-called women's rights movement, the feminist movement, I think is going to supplant 1.00

00:30:38.820 the race hustle as the most prominent form of LGBT or of, of identity politics. LGBT will also be in

00:30:46.080 the mix always, but, um, you know, it's kind of like the LGBT hustle, the race hustle, a little 0.81

00:30:51.720 hustle. They've been vying for cultural prominence and, and, and for to be, to be on top. Uh, but I

00:30:58.120 think you're starting to see the feminists are coming and they're going to end up atop of that 1.00

00:31:03.400 pyramid. And I think that's especially the case because of this next election. Remember the last time

00:31:10.120 Trump won, right? In 2016, the last time he beat a woman politically, we immediately had the women's 0.98

00:31:20.700 march where you had a million angry feminists descending on DC and, and screaming to the 1.00

00:31:26.760 heavens about how sad they were. And then right on the heels of that, you had the, the me too movement.

00:31:32.180 So if it happens again, if, if Trump beats another woman challenger, it's going to be women's march, 1.00

00:31:43.580 me too movement times 10. That's what it's going to be. That's what it's going to be for the next

00:31:46.940 four years. And, uh, and you're starting to see them kind of set that up already, I think.

00:31:55.160 All right. Easy transition into this. Actually, I think, uh, Melania Trump is on a book tour 0.99

00:32:01.740 uh, she's got a book coming out or maybe it's already out. I think, I think it hasn't come out

00:32:05.740 yet. Um, Melania Trump has a book coming out. Hillary Clinton, uh, just put a book out. So

00:32:13.900 there's going to be a competition here between these two Hillary Clinton's book, by the way, 1.00

00:32:18.220 did basically flop. I think it sold 27,000 copies in a week, which, which by, by most standards for

00:32:24.680 most authors would be a whole lot of copies to sell in a week. But for Hillary Clinton, I mean, 1.00

00:32:30.000 the book she wrote before that, she wrote a book right after the 2016 election called what happened

00:32:35.000 or something like that. And it sold 300,000 copies, something crazy. Um, and so this one by those

00:32:41.740 standards, uh, a dramatic fall off. Uh, but anyway, Melania Trump has a book coming out. She stopped at 0.99

00:32:48.500 Fox news recently and talked about, uh, some of the, some of the, um, what, what she's experienced in

00:32:56.160 society, uh, because she's Donald Trump's wife. And she talked about having her donations to a 0.92

00:33:02.480 university rejected on political grounds. Listen to this. The university, um, I was all agreed that

00:33:12.900 they will accept my donations for the foster, um, students. And because of the board directors,

00:33:21.780 they called back, they find out that it was me. They didn't, they said, we cannot go on. And it's very,

00:33:29.000 um, very sad because who suffered? They were children from foster community. They didn't have a scholarship

00:33:39.160 that somebody will provide for them. They didn't want to do business with me because of political

00:33:46.060 affiliation, my political beliefs. And, um, you know, that, that was one, one of them, one of the

00:33:56.140 canceling project. Hmm. So that's absurd. Obviously, uh, Melania Trump has been treated, uh, in a very 0.98

00:34:07.400 despicable way. Even if you don't like her husband, the way that the left treats her is gross. Um, 0.95

00:34:14.640 and, uh, and I have to say, uh, I do have to say that it makes her passage in her book with that

00:34:26.440 passionate defense of quote unquote abortion rights, all the more perplexing when you consider

00:34:32.660 this, when you consider how despised she is by the left and will always be, even though she hasn't

00:34:39.240 done anything wrong. Even if you hate her husband, it's, she didn't, she didn't do anything wrong.

00:34:46.520 Um, but it makes that passage all the more confounding. Like, what do you think it's going

00:34:56.120 to achieve exactly? Melania, these people hate you. They despise you. I mean, you're talking about it

00:35:03.980 here. They don't even want your money. You're trying to give them money and they won't take it.

00:35:09.840 That's the ultimate form of hatred. That is the ultimate expression of hatred is when you won't

00:35:15.820 even take somebody's money. The whole pro-abortion movement hates you. They all hate you. They will

00:35:24.240 always hate you. There is, there's, you, you cannot win those people. Now you might say that,

00:35:33.420 Hey, uh, it's okay, fine, but it's what she believes. She's just saying what she believes.

00:35:38.520 She's pro-abortion. She's expressing that free speech. Okay, sure. I mean, fine. It's what she

00:35:47.020 believes it's wrong, but it's, she's wrong about what you believe, but that's what you believe.

00:35:50.500 But why now? Why now of all times? You know, she, she could have put out a book at any time

00:35:59.380 spewing pro-abortion talking points. She could do that at any time. She could have done it a year ago. 0.85

00:36:05.700 She could have done it two years ago. She could have done it at any point before her husband ran for

00:36:11.560 office. She could do it a year from now. I mean, I'd prefer if it never happened, but you know,

00:36:19.160 anytime you could, you could, you could put out that book anytime. Why right now, right now of all

00:36:24.580 times, why now a month before a presidential election, you come out with this full-on defense

00:36:32.460 of abortion, which again, we should be clear, at least what Melania Trump has, has said in her book

00:36:39.660 and some public statements she's, she's made recently. This is not simply a, well,

00:36:44.860 we have to have exceptions for rape and incest life of the mother type of thing. This is a full-on 1.00

00:36:51.940 defense of abortion period, staking out ground on the topic that is indistinguishable from Kamala

00:37:01.160 Harris's position. So why that? Why, why now? Um, that's not just her expressing herself. That's

00:37:10.280 a political strategy. Obviously, you know, you come out with a statement like this right before an

00:37:16.940 election, you're obviously doing, it's not a coincidence. It's not like, Oh, I didn't notice

00:37:20.900 there's an election happening. Uh, no, it's a, it's a political strategy. It's a play. It's a move.

00:37:27.040 It's a tactic. And I think it's a really bad one. I think it's a really stupid one.

00:37:34.640 I don't know how many times I have to say it. The people who care deeply about so-called abortion 1.00

00:37:40.040 rights, the, the people who would even use the phrase abortion rights, right? Those people are

00:37:49.720 not voting for Donald Trump period. They're not voting for him. Anyone who would speak in a positive

00:37:58.440 way about abortion rights, they're not voting for Trump. It doesn't matter what he says. Doesn't

00:38:02.500 matter what his wife says. You're not going to win any of them. Um, now that doesn't mean that

00:38:09.940 the only people Trump can win are hardcore pro-lifers like myself. There are plenty of people who would

00:38:17.080 consider themselves to be, you know, moderate or in the middle on this issue who certainly

00:38:21.280 will vote for Trump or at least are, are winnable for Trump. That's true. But

00:38:25.380 the hardcore pro-aborts on the other side, the ones again, it would go around talking about abortion

00:38:31.620 rights and abortion. You know, there should be no restrictions on it. Abortion is a basic fundamental

00:38:38.480 human right, which is the position that Melania Trump took. Those people are not up for grabs.

00:38:47.080 Why would they be? Like if abortion is that important to them, they have Kamala Harris. 0.99

00:38:54.580 As we've said a million times, Kamala Harris, that abortion is the one issue that Kamala Harris has 1.00

00:39:00.080 actually been consistent on. It's the one, it's the only issue where she has any credibility actually.

00:39:06.180 Now she doesn't have intellectual credibility or moral credibility. Certainly her position on it is

00:39:10.500 horribly morally wrong, but she has been consistent. And, um, when she goes around claiming that

00:39:16.880 she's fought her whole career to protect so-called abortion rights, yeah, she actually has. 1.00

00:39:22.920 That's the one thing she's cared about consistently through her whole political career. Every office

00:39:29.160 she's held, every, every ounce of power she has possessed politically, she, she has always used it 0.99

00:39:37.080 to advance the pro-abortion cause. And so the idea that you could ever win anyone who's deeply pro-abortion

00:39:47.580 when you're competing against that, it's just delusional. And the only thing you can do by

00:39:54.000 attempting to win them is, uh, disenfranchise and, uh, demoralize, uh, well, demoralize, not so much

00:40:04.080 disenfranchised, you demoralize your own base. That's the only thing you could achieve. All right.

00:40:10.500 This is something we need to discuss. Um, you know, that this is an issue that's deeply important

00:40:16.500 to me. Uh, and so I have to weigh in again because I saw this viral clip and, you know, people are

00:40:23.900 talking about it. Everyone's wrong as always on this. I'm not sure what the context is, but I don't

00:40:29.360 think really need a lot of context. It's apparently a guy on a plane retaliating because the guy in

00:40:35.440 front of him is reclining his seat. So it's a very brief video. Let's watch this first.

00:40:52.280 Okay. This provoked another debate. Who's right? Who's wrong? The funny thing about it is that the

00:40:58.900 guy in the front looked like he was about to get out of his seat and fight the guy behind him.

00:41:04.560 But then as far as I can tell, he, he forgot to unbuckle his seatbelt when he tried to, when he

00:41:09.360 tried to stand up and then, and then I, I, so it's like, he's going to get up. He forgot to unbuckle

00:41:14.980 seatbelt and then he just gives up. I guess after that mishap, he was too embarrassed. So he decided

00:41:21.380 not to assault the guy behind him, which I understand. I mean, once you've made that mistake,

00:41:25.600 you can't really recover. You've lost the intimidation factor because you forgot how to

00:41:29.800 work a seatbelt for a moment. And, and so I think that's what happened there. But as for who is in

00:41:35.920 the right, obviously the guy in the road behind is, is, is in the right. The guy who is pummeling the

00:41:44.620 other guy's seat and forcing him to sit up straight, that guy, the supposed aggressor in this case is in

00:41:50.980 the right. He's totally in the right. Um, we've been through this many times. Let's review it again

00:41:55.880 because apparently we need to, if you are in coach, you are not allowed to recline your seat.

00:42:01.280 Yes. The seat has a recline function. Yes. You are physically able to recline it. Yes. Airline

00:42:07.880 policies even allow you to recline it. Once you're at cruising altitude, all of that is true,

00:42:13.460 but I forbid it. I am personally forbidding it. I am telling you that it is illegal. It is

00:42:20.520 unconstitutional for all intents and purposes. You cannot recline your seat in coach. You want to

00:42:25.920 recline your seat by a first class ticket in first class, you can recline your seat. About 20% is what

00:42:32.100 I'll allow. So, so if a hundred percent represents the full amount that the seat will recline in,

00:42:37.360 in a first class, you can do 20% of that. So it's a slight recline will be allowed in,

00:42:43.740 in first class because there's more leg room. In coach, there's just no way. When you recline,

00:42:50.560 you are lying in the lap of the person behind you. It is, I mean, who would even want to do that?

00:42:59.100 How can you be comfortable relaxing, knowing that you are directly lying on the legs of someone,

00:43:05.800 of a stranger behind you? It's, it's, it's like an act of physical intimacy with the person behind

00:43:13.960 you. You have to be, what are you, some, some kind of, you have to be some kind of, some kind

00:43:19.560 of predator, some kind of sex offender to, yes. Okay. That's what I'm saying. Every person who reclines 0.93

00:43:25.400 their seat in coach is basically a sex offender among other things. It's disgusting. Well, it's like, 0.99

00:43:34.600 why would you want to crowd someone else's physical space that much? So I'm like, yes,

00:43:39.360 it's rude. You're being a jerk, but you are, doesn't that make you uncomfortable to know that 0.99

00:43:44.360 you're doing that? You are actively choosing to take the personal space away from the person behind 1.00

00:43:51.080 you, which is morally unjustifiable. And the rationalization is always, well, the seat is able

00:43:57.980 to recline. So I'm going to recline it. What kind of two-year-old logic is that?

00:44:06.520 You have the moral reasoning of a toddler. Okay. I mean, if you sit in the exit row,

00:44:13.320 you can open the door. The door's able to be opened. So I'll just open it when we're 35,000 feet in the

00:44:21.700 sky. If, if I wasn't supposed to open it, why am I able to do it? What kind of reasoning is this?

00:44:28.480 This is what people say, the seat recliners. I mean, I'm not, this is not a straw man. This is

00:44:32.580 their argument. They'll say, well, if I'm not supposed to do it, why am I able to do it?

00:44:39.580 What? You're able, I could list a million things you're able to do that you still shouldn't do.

00:44:46.960 I can even list things that you're able to do, and it would be legal to do, but you still should

00:44:53.660 not do. You can, when you, when you walk through a door in a public place and there's somebody

00:45:03.280 walking in behind you, you're able to swing the door shut in their face without holding it for

00:45:09.260 them. You're able, the door swings shut. That's a thing. The door is able to do. It's not against

00:45:15.040 the law, but you still shouldn't do it. You're still a jerk. If you do it, 1.00

00:45:21.260 I think this is the best analogy that I've come up with for this. I can't remember if I've used it

00:45:27.060 before. I probably have, but I think it's very, it's very much like, uh, it's very much like, uh,

00:45:35.820 TV volume. Okay. So, you know, your TV goes up to volume 70 or whatever it is. Um, the volume goes

00:45:46.440 up that high. You, why, why does it need to go up that high? I don't know. Like it shouldn't even

00:45:53.520 go up that it goes up. It goes up like every TV goes up higher than it should. It's like, you would

00:45:57.920 never need to actually put the volume up that high. It would be crazy. And if you're, if you live in an

00:46:04.180 apartment complex, let's say with very thin walls and you have a TV, the TV is legal. You're allowed

00:46:11.240 to have the TV is you're able to turn it up to 70. You can, you can do that, but you shouldn't

00:46:17.440 because then you're forcing everybody else in your, you're, you're, you're, you're forcing your

00:46:21.360 neighbors on either side of you to listen to whatever you're listening to on your TV. So although

00:46:26.200 you're able to turn it up that high, you still should not. Um, and it's the same thing with

00:46:32.400 the seat recline option. Uh, I don't look of all the, of all the random things that I choose to

00:46:41.500 get really worked up about. Uh, I'm right about all of them. We know that I'm a hundred percent

00:46:48.900 right about all of it. Um, whether it's raw milk or sick days or I'm, I'm right. But on this, I'm,

00:46:57.160 I'm the, I'm the rightest of all on this. I'm so right about this. I couldn't be more right than

00:47:02.380 I am that you just, you, you are, it is a moral crime to recline your seat and coach.

00:47:12.400 I see somebody do that. And I'm like, I can't even, I can't, I can't respect you anymore. I can't be,

00:47:20.300 I can't, I can't be friends with you. It says something so deep about who you are as a person.

00:47:28.200 All right. I'm not overstating it. Going online unprotected. It's like leaving your door unlocked

00:47:32.920 when you leave your house. Maybe you trust some of your neighbors, but what about that creepy guy

00:47:37.040 down the block? What about delivery drivers and random strangers? Do you trust all them?

00:47:41.800 With ExpressVPN, you can stay safe online without having to trust any random strangers. Here's the

00:47:47.360 disturbing reality. Your internet service provider can see every single website you visit. And they're

00:47:52.540 legally allowed to sell that information to advertisers. Every time you connect to an

00:47:55.920 unencrypted network in a cafe, hotel, or airport, your online data is wide open. Any hacker on the

00:48:01.920 same network can steal your personal information. And it doesn't take a tech genius to do this. Some

00:48:06.320 kid with a laptop could be swiping your passwords and credit card details while sipping on a soy latte.

00:48:11.780 Your data is valuable. Hackers can make up to a thousand dollars per person selling personal

00:48:16.660 info on the dark web. That's why I never go online without ExpressVPN. It creates a secure encrypted

00:48:22.040 tunnel between my device and the internet. ExpressVPN's encryption is so secure, it would

00:48:26.760 take a hacker with a supercomputer over a billion years to crack it. It's also incredibly easy to

00:48:31.320 use. Even if you're as tech savvy as Biden is eloquent, you can protect yourself with just one

00:48:37.800 click. And it works on all your devices, phones, laptops, tablets, you name it. I personally use

00:48:42.480 ExpressVPN every day, whether I'm researching for the show or just browsing online. In this age of

00:49:51.300 Over the past several years, professional sports leagues across the country have

00:49:55.020 taken some very bold stands on important cultural issues. I think about the NFL bravely putting the

00:50:02.980 words end racism on their helmets or the NHL holding pride nights to celebrate the three gay people in

00:50:08.700 the world who watch hockey. There are many more examples, each more inspiring than the last, but all

00:50:13.980 of them pale in comparison to this. It's just been announced that every major sports league in the

00:50:21.020 country, and also Major League Soccer as well, are coming together and combining forces for a new

00:50:27.240 campaign called hashtag timeout against hate. They're finally taking a stand against hate.

00:50:34.580 They are courageously declaring that hate is bad. They don't like hate. You shouldn't like it either.

00:50:42.040 That's what they're saying. Here's today.com with more. Quote, commissioners from the biggest leagues

00:50:46.900 in sports have united to spread a new campaign called hashtag timeout against hate. The first of its

00:50:52.120 kind campaign launched by New England Patriots CEO Robert Kraft's foundation to combat anti-Semitism

00:50:56.520 is reinterpreting the timeout gesture of professional sports to symbolize a fight against

00:51:01.480 intolerance. To reach as many sports fans as possible, Kraft has teamed up with commissioners

00:51:05.620 Rob Manfred of Major League Baseball, Don Garber of Major League Soccer, Adam Silver of National

00:51:10.500 Basketball Association, Kathy Engelbert of the Women's National Basketball Association, Roger Goodell of

00:51:15.820 the National Football League, Gary Bettman of the National Hockey League, Jessica Berman of the National

00:51:20.240 Women's Soccer League, and Steve Phelps of NASCAR to help create ads featuring leaders and top

00:51:24.980 athletes. Those ads will play across all major leagues throughout the next year. Three of the

00:51:30.140 commissioners, Goodell, Silver, and Berman joined Kraft for a sit down with today's Craig Melvin about

00:51:36.040 the anti-hate initiative. And I know you're hoping that that's a lead in to watch some of that very

00:51:42.900 important interview. And well, you're in luck because we are going to watch some of it. Get ready to be

00:51:47.780 inspired. Here it is.

00:51:49.160 Time out, time out, time out, time out! The professional sports community calling on all

00:51:54.600 Americans to take a time out. Things are getting out of control out there. It's part of a new ad

00:51:59.440 campaign called Time Out Against Hate, featuring sports figures urging people to pause and regroup in

00:52:06.200 the fight against intolerance. Hate is winning out there. The message powerful enough to prompt a rare site.

00:52:12.900 Patriots owner Robert Kraft, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, National Women's Soccer League Commissioner

00:52:18.240 Jessica Berman and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver all in the same room. Why do people call a time out

00:52:25.460 during a game? They call it because they have to regroup. They're not winning. Something bad is going on

00:52:34.000 that has to be corrected or fixed. And that was our thinking here. The campaign is the brainchild of

00:52:42.220 Kraft, who initially launched his foundation to combat anti-Semitism five years ago. Back in

00:52:48.000 January, Kraft joined the commissioners of the NFL, the NBA, the WNBA, Major League Baseball, Major League

00:52:54.720 Soccer, the National Women's Soccer League, the National Hockey League, and NASCAR, all for a special

00:53:00.560 closed-door meeting to address expanding his mission. Take us inside that room, what was said, what was done.

00:53:07.480 I think all of us came to learn and to get educated on what's really going on in our society. And

00:53:12.980 as Robert says, with hate across all boundaries. A recognition that hate is a contagion. It's not

00:53:20.420 just about the person or the group that it's directed at. That it's harmful to society at large.

00:53:27.560 Wow. Tremendous. Tremendous insight. Did you hear that? Hate is harmful to society. In the words of

00:53:37.340 Robert Kraft, something bad is going on that has to be corrected. What a profound statement.

00:53:45.600 You can tell that he's reflected on this issue quite deeply. In fact, the last time Robert Kraft put this

00:53:50.920 much thought into something, he was trying to decide which massage parlor to visit in South Florida,

00:53:54.860 allegedly. I mean, one thing we know for sure is that the guy likes to take a hands-on approach,

00:54:01.540 allegedly. And now with this anti-hate time-out gesture, the hands are doing the job once again,

00:54:10.680 allegedly. Anyway, the point is that we really need to stop and reflect on the audacity, the

00:54:16.500 determination, the grit of these billionaires who are standing up and making such a controversial

00:54:22.420 statement. Hate is bad. This reminds me of the time when I embarked on a nationwide campaign to

00:54:29.060 protest stubbed toes. I had signs and bumper stickers and PSAs made and everything. And

00:54:35.440 I was really spreading the message that stubbing your toe is bad. It's better to not stub your toe.

00:54:42.040 Nobody should ever have to have a stubbed toe, you know, these days. Anyone who's in favor of stubbing

00:54:51.800 toes, anyone who's engaged in pro-toe stubbing propaganda is wrong. And I wasn't afraid to call

00:54:59.660 them out. And, you know, I thought, and many people thought that I was a hero for that campaign,

00:55:05.060 and I was. But this surpasses even those efforts. And by the way, you saw a snippet of it in the last

00:55:12.020 clip. But here is the full anti-hate PSA that all the professional sports leagues got together to

00:55:17.980 produce. And by the way, also, if you're a sports fan, as I am, then you can look forward to seeing

00:55:26.000 this PSA and ones like it incessantly over and over again in every commercial break for every sport for

00:55:33.640 the next year, which is really exciting. Let's watch it.

00:55:40.600 This is the most important time I've ever called. Things are getting out of control out there. And

00:55:45.860 we need to regroup. Hate. Hate. Hate. Hate is winning out there. Not on these fields. In our

00:55:51.100 communities. On our streets. In our schools. And we need to stop it. So let's take this moment. To

00:55:57.240 change the momentum. And call a timeout. On hate. Together. Together.

00:56:03.640 Again, I say, wow. Wow. I, for one, am convinced. I'm going to stop hating.

00:56:17.980 You know, I'd always thought that hate was good. But then I saw Shaquille O'Neal calling a timeout on

00:56:24.340 hate. And I realized that I was wrong. In fact, I was sitting around with some other people. We were

00:56:32.660 all hating. And then this ad came up. And I said, gee whiz, guys, you know, let's just take a timeout

00:56:41.060 on all this hating. What do you folks say? They said, you're right. You're right. Now, although come

00:56:49.420 to think of it, timeouts are temporary. So does that mean we all have to stop hating for just a few

00:56:55.480 minutes and then we can start hating again? Are we calling a timeout on hate so that we can catch our

00:57:00.580 breath and regroup and draw up a new play and get out there and hate even more effectively?

00:57:06.120 Is that the point? Is this a chance to swap in some fresh haters who can go in there and hate with

00:57:11.800 more energy? Also, how many hate timeouts do we get per half? Do we get a new set of timeouts in

00:57:18.300 the second half? What about overtime? If there's an injury in the final two minutes of the fourth

00:57:22.360 quarter, do we lose one of our hate timeouts? What happens when we run out of hate timeouts?

00:57:26.780 Won't the hate get completely out of control again? So there are a lot of unanswered questions,

00:57:32.480 but let's not get hung up on those details. All we need to know is that they've called a timeout,

00:57:38.940 at least for now. And so there will be no more hating. Can we still hate bad things?

00:57:46.180 Can we hate cancer and hurricanes? Can we hate head lice and juvenile diabetes? Can we hate serial

00:57:52.840 killers? Can we hate hatred? Don't we have to hate hatred in order to participate in the timeout

00:57:59.940 against hate? But how can we hate hatred if we aren't allowed to hate at all? Aren't we discovering

00:58:05.700 here that hatred isn't actually bad in and of itself? Isn't a campaign against hate not only so

00:58:13.220 broad as to be meaningless, but also morally misguided? If you have no hatred in your heart

00:58:18.860 for anything at all, it doesn't mean that you're full of love. After all, you cannot love people

00:58:24.400 and also love the things that harm and destroy people. That'd be a contradiction in terms.

00:58:31.460 Loving people, in fact, requires hatred. It requires that you hate the things that interfere

00:58:37.320 with the well-being of the people you love. In fact, that could very well be the definition of love.

00:58:42.960 So, if you hate nothing, it must mean that you're indifferent. Isn't an anti-hatred campaign then

00:58:51.480 actually a promotion of indifference? And isn't indifference itself even worse than hatred?

00:58:59.120 Did Jesus not say that it's better to be hot or cold than lukewarm? Yes, well, that all might be

00:59:05.820 the case, but let's not focus on the negative. We can't anyway. They just called a timeout on that

00:59:12.160 sort of thing. Let's focus on the bravery it requires to take a moral stand that is not only

00:59:19.300 vague and ambiguous, but also, when it comes down to it, actually wrong. That's what matters now.

00:59:25.480 And it's why hatred is today, at least temporarily, canceled. That'll do it for the show today. Thanks

00:59:34.540 for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.

00:59:42.160 Godspeed.

00:59:43.160 Godspeed.
