The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1530 - Trump Keeps Delivering Win After Win And I’m Not Sick Of It Yet

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh show, Trump's strategy of accomplishing 10 things a day every day has

00:00:03.820 the left scrambling to catch up, but always one step behind. Now Trump has announced a plan to

00:00:07.860 take control of the Gaza Strip, but is that what he really wants to do or does he have something

00:00:12.340 else in mind? We'll discuss. Also, a Democrat congresswoman lashes out with a vicious racist

00:00:16.380 attack against white men. Of course, she'll suffer no consequences for it whatsoever.

00:00:20.320 Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady have teamed up to bravely campaign against hate. And noted genius AOC says

00:00:25.860 that Elon Musk, the most successful man in the world, is actually a moron. We'll talk about all

00:00:30.200 that and more today on the Matt Walsh show.

00:01:25.460 ingredients. Balance of nature takes fruits and vegetables and they freeze-dry them, turn them

00:01:29.160 into a powder, and then put them in a capsule. You take your fruit and veggie capsules every day,

00:01:41.480 That's balanceofnature.com, promo code Walsh. There was a report the other day that according to

00:01:46.660 J.D. Vance, Donald Trump has been, quote, constantly asking us how many days we have left. So in other

00:01:51.660 words, there's a sense in this second Trump administration that time is of the essence.

00:01:55.920 They want to accomplish something every day while they still have the opportunity, especially

00:01:59.600 for somebody like Trump. The logic makes a lot of sense. More than any other president,

00:02:04.080 he's aware that nothing is guaranteed. He's well aware of the risk of assassination for obvious

00:02:09.440 reasons. In fact, just yesterday, Trump discussed how the U.S. would retaliate if, hypothetically,

00:02:14.600 Iran were to follow through on its threats and assassinate him while he's in office.

00:02:18.220 And he said, by the way, that Iran would be completely wiped off the map, which is the

00:02:22.780 right answer. Now, there are other reasons why Trump probably wants to move quickly as

00:02:26.800 well. You may remember the first impeachment trial. Democrats engineered the whole narrative

00:02:31.300 because Trump merely floated the possibility of cutting aid to Ukraine. They sensed weakness

00:02:36.640 and hesitation, and they exploited it. That's why this time around, Trump is not simply discussing

00:02:41.760 the possibility of slashing foreign aid. Instead, he's just going ahead and doing it.

00:02:46.240 Trump is eliminating billions of dollars in aid and then closing the agency responsible

00:02:50.160 for it all in a matter of days. And as we talked about yesterday, he's actually locking

00:02:53.540 the bureaucrats out of the building so that they can't keep distributing the money. This

00:02:58.380 is a blitzkrieg style approach that nobody on the left has any idea how to handle. None

00:03:04.120 of them were expecting this. The Trump administration is securing near instantaneous results, and he's

00:03:09.280 doing it so quickly that in some cases, corporate media outlets are having to reverse their

00:03:14.220 own reporting in a matter of minutes. So here, for example, was the scene on MSNBC the other

00:03:18.300 day as recorded by the media team at town hall. And I'm going to play two clips that are 40

00:03:23.520 minutes apart. See if you can spot the difference.

00:03:26.460 Good morning. It's 10 a.m. Eastern, 7 a.m. Pacific. I'm Ana Cabrera reporting from New York. Let's

00:03:33.100 begin with breaking news in Donald Trump's trade war. Stocks opening down sharply this morning. You

00:03:37.940 see the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq all in the red by several hundred. And we expect the president of

00:03:44.420 Mexico to announce her country's response any moment now to the tariffs President Trump slapped

00:03:49.920 on Mexico, Canada, and China over the weekend. Breaking news involving the new Trump tariffs.

00:03:55.600 Just moments ago, Mexico's president said they have reached a deal to pause those new U.S. tariffs

00:04:01.840 by a month. First to the social media posting from the Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum.

00:04:07.560 She just said that Mexico will send 10,000 members of its National Guard to its border with the United

00:04:15.020 States to prevent the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. In the span of less than an hour, MSNBC went from

00:04:22.100 dire warnings about how Donald Trump's trade war was tanking the stock market to announcing that

00:04:27.120 actually there was no trade war and that Mexico is now going to send thousands of troops to stop

00:04:31.100 the flow of fentanyl into this country, which is a drug that, of course, has killed tens of thousands

00:04:35.580 of Americans, kills tens of thousands of Americans every year. Now, if there's anyone left watching MSNBC

00:04:40.320 who's capable of any kind of independent thought, or if there's anyone left watching MSNBC at all,

00:04:46.240 this had to be a very jarring moment. But this is what Democrats in the media have to contend with

00:04:51.380 in Trump's second term. Things are happening far too quickly for the press to come up with any kind

00:04:55.400 of coherent attack line. Stephen Colbert delivered a whole monologue that was clearly written with the

00:05:01.000 expectation that the tariffs on Mexico would destroy the U.S. economy, only to acknowledge at the

00:05:06.500 end of the monologue that actually the tariffs have already been suspended. So it's like he got

00:05:10.500 handed a piece of paper mid-monologue informing him that none of the jokes work anymore. Watch.

00:05:16.460 These tariffs would raise prices in America for a whole lot of things. For example, Mexico provides

00:05:23.020 us with 47 percent of our fruits, okay? I'm talking berries, lemons, limes, melons. Soon, the only fruit

00:05:30.700 we're going to have left will be loop. Late this morning? Just this morning, right? It was just

00:05:35.740 this morning. Late this morning, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to rush 10,000 troops to

00:05:42.360 the border to stop the flow of drugs. In return, the Mexican tariffs have been delayed by at least a

00:05:48.640 month. Okay, that gives us one month to eat our weight in guacamole.

00:05:52.920 In other words, nothing changes.

00:05:59.120 Now, when you're sitting through that Froot Loops joke, a joke that, by the way, a whole team of

00:06:06.000 comedy writers are in a room for hours coming up with material like that. And when you listen to

00:06:15.760 that, it's difficult, if not impossible, to imagine a way that this monologue could get any worse, and

00:06:19.700 then somehow it happens. Colbert has to announce that Trump's tariffs aren't going into effect

00:06:23.780 because Mexico agreed to send 10,000 troops to control the border. And for context, there are

00:06:28.560 currently roughly 15,000 Mexican troops at the border. So this is a substantial increase,

00:06:33.440 almost 100 percent increase. And then after telling his audience about this, Colbert claims that,

00:06:38.700 in his opinion, his joke still works because in a month, it's possible the tariffs will go back into

00:06:43.000 effect. And this is what happens when you really, really don't want to have to rewrite a script that

00:06:47.600 you've already drafted. Even when the script doesn't really make any sense anymore, you just

00:06:52.280 tack on a note at the end saying, trust me, it still works. And to be fair, I'd probably try that

00:06:57.480 sometime if I didn't have any amount of self-respect whatsoever. I'd probably make things a lot easier.

00:07:02.340 I could just write a whole week's worth of monologues in advance. And then if they're outdated,

00:07:07.300 I can just add a line at the end saying, trust me, everything I just said still makes sense.

00:07:11.000 Trust me, bro. So this is what happens. This is what Trump is now repeatedly doing to his

00:07:15.140 political enemies. He's preempting every single one of their outrage cycles. He's making things

00:07:19.660 happen too quickly and with too many obvious benefits to this country for anyone on the left

00:07:24.660 to keep up with it. And that includes our political enemies in Canada. Doug Ford, for example, runs the

00:07:30.440 Canadian province of Ontario. He's a Canadian, quote unquote, conservative, which basically means in

00:07:36.660 Canadian terms that he's a liberal with maybe one or two fewer mental disorders. On Monday morning,

00:07:42.500 Ford promised to retaliate against Trump by ripping up a $100 million Starlink contract. Apparently,

00:07:48.280 he wanted to prevent rural populations in his province from accessing the internet as a way to,

00:07:54.100 I guess, spite Elon Musk and Donald Trump. He's punishing his own people to get at Elon Musk and

00:07:59.580 Donald Trump. Watch. Tomorrow, the LCBO, which sells nearly a billion dollars worth of American beer,

00:08:07.020 wine, spirits, and seltzers every year, will remove all U.S. products from its shelves and wholesale

00:08:15.400 catalog. We've gone one step further. We'll be ripping up our contract with Elon Musk's Starlink. Ontario won't

00:08:23.200 do business with people hell-bent on destroying our economy. Friends, there's no sugar coating it. The coming

00:08:31.180 days and weeks will be incredibly difficult. Now, just a few hours later, everything changed. Like

00:08:37.600 Mexico, Canada quickly caved. They announced that they would be appointing a new fentanyl czar to

00:08:42.760 oversee a billion-dollar plan to secure the border. They're also listing drug cartels as terrorist

00:08:47.640 organizations, which they'll pursue as part of a $200 million intelligence directive. And as a result,

00:08:53.720 just like in Mexico, the tariffs were suspended. This is a development that left Doug Ford in something

00:08:58.180 of an awkward situation. After all, he had just ripped up the Starlink contract a few hours earlier,

00:09:03.780 and now he has to put the pieces of that contract back together. As Canada's Global News reported,

00:09:08.080 quote, Ford's team said Ontario's retaliatory measures would be rolled back. Asked if that

00:09:13.740 meant that Starlink contract would proceed by Global News, a progressive conservative spokesperson

00:09:18.440 replied, yes. So they went from destroying anything remotely related to Elon Musk to paying his company

00:09:25.640 for internet access in the span of about four hours. Of course, Ford didn't go on television and like

00:09:33.180 tape the contract back together or anything like that. He had some unnamed spokesperson walk everything

00:09:37.400 back for him, but the effect is the same. But putting it mildly, this is not the outcome that the left

00:09:42.860 anticipated. It's not even the outcome that many Republicans anticipated. Mitch McConnell, for example,

00:09:48.160 went on record warning that these tariffs were a terrible idea because Canada is our ally and the tariffs would

00:09:54.320 destroy the economy for no reason, he claims. Here he is.

00:09:59.500 What about tariffs against our allies?

00:10:04.120 It will drive the cost of everything up. In other words, it'll be paid for by American consumers.

00:10:11.640 I mean, why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this?

00:10:16.600 Now, just a few years ago in his first term in office that Trump used tariffs on Mexico and Canada

00:10:20.960 as leverage in order to renegotiate NAFTA for more favorable terms with the United States,

00:10:25.540 we gained greater access to Canada's dairy markets, higher wages for auto workers and higher

00:10:30.160 requirements for vehicle parts to be made in North America in order for those vehicles to be exempt

00:10:34.380 from tariffs. And as you may remember, those tariffs bothered a lot of people in Washington because

00:10:38.740 Canada supposedly our friend and ally, even though they have no military whatsoever and define their

00:10:44.280 entire identity based on being not American. In fact, Canada's prime minister just went on CNN to explain

00:10:49.740 that in his view, Canada has no national identity whatsoever. It exists merely as the anti-United

00:10:56.360 States. Watch.

00:10:58.280 President-elect Trump has been needling you a bit, calling you a Governor Trudeau, talking about making

00:11:04.040 Canada the 51st state. Did you have any interaction with him today?

00:11:07.080 No, not today. But that's not going to happen. Canadians are incredibly proud of being Canadian.

00:11:13.980 One of the ways we define ourselves most easily is, well, we're not American. There is such a depth

00:11:21.460 of pride that that's not actually an issue.

00:11:23.720 One of the most pathetic things I've ever heard from the leader of a nation, and it's not even

00:11:32.820 sporting to mock these people anymore. It's one of the most pitiful things you could have said in

00:11:36.920 that particular moment. But he said it because it's true, apparently. That's how millions of

00:11:42.200 Canadians, according to him, see themselves. They see themselves as not as Canadians, but as not

00:11:48.340 American. But in America, that's not how we define ourselves. If you ask anyone to define what it

00:11:55.580 means to be American, you may get different answers, especially these days. But no one is going to

00:11:59.900 say, oh, well, being American means being not Canadian. Now, we see ourselves as Americans with our

00:12:05.660 own interests and to protect. And so that's exactly what Trump just did. And he did it very

00:12:12.920 quickly. In response, all Canada could do is take American liquor off of their shelves for about 10

00:12:18.640 minutes, which is something that was happening in Canadian liquor stores, even though they'd already

00:12:22.300 paid for it. So it was already in the store and they were going through and getting rid of all the

00:12:26.780 American liquor, which so not only is it pointless because you already paid for it, but once again,

00:12:33.340 you're punishing yourself because like all of the best whiskey in particular and bourbon is made in

00:12:40.160 America. So now you have all you're left with is Canadian whiskey. It's a fate worse than death.

00:12:47.380 But that's all they could do. And then pretend to rip up a Starlink contract. It was a pretty good

00:12:51.960 trade for us, all things considered. And things are moving so quickly in the Trump administration that

00:12:56.060 again, his opponents just don't have time to develop a counter narrative. This may be the first

00:13:01.260 presidency that's immune to the concept of a news cycle for this reason, because things are moving so

00:13:06.940 fast. But just the other day, for example, Panama announced another major step towards restoring

00:13:12.580 US control of the Panama Canal. Quoting from Fox, Panama's president vowed Sunday to end a key

00:13:17.420 development deal with China after meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, after complaints

00:13:21.960 from President Donald Trump that the Latin American country had ceded control over its critical shipping

00:13:26.600 canal to Beijing. Panama will now will not renew a 2017 memorandum of understanding to join China's

00:13:34.060 Belt and Road Global Development Initiative, and that Panama would instead look to work more closely

00:13:38.760 with the United States. Separately, Bloomberg has reported that Panama is abandoning contracts with

00:13:45.080 Hong Kong to give them access to the waterway. So we were told repeatedly that Trump would never

00:13:50.080 accomplish anything by saying that we're going to retake the Panama Canal. And less than a month later,

00:13:54.120 we are closer to retaking it than we've been in a very long time. Meanwhile, Colombia has completely

00:13:59.960 caved on accepting illegal aliens back into their country, as we've previously discussed. Feels like

00:14:05.260 a year ago at this point, but that was like, what, last week. You can understand why, faced with all these

00:14:11.300 victories, a very rapid succession, Democrats have no real response. They don't have time to come up

00:14:19.460 with one. So instead, they're reduced to full-on panic. This was the scene outside the Treasury

00:14:23.920 Building yesterday. He has broken the law time and time again. This cannot stand. He must be held

00:14:32.720 accountable. He must be made to pay. We must enforce the law.

00:14:37.100 Lock him up. Lock him up. Lock him up. Lock him up. We will not take this. We will fight back.

00:14:54.360 Fight back. Fight back. And as I close out, because I know we've been out here for a long time,

00:14:59.780 and shut down the Senate. We are at war. Anytime, anytime a person can pay $250 million

00:15:12.140 into a campaign, and they be given access, full access to the Department of Treasury

00:15:18.280 of the United States of America, we are at war.

00:15:22.980 Yes, those are members of Congress declaring that they are at war with the President of the

00:15:30.600 United States. The people need to fight this administration. You might remember that just

00:15:35.680 a couple of years ago, language like that used to be a crime. You're committing an insurrection

00:15:41.200 if you talk like that. But again, Democrats don't even hear themselves talking at this point. They

00:15:46.000 can't regroup. They can't focus or deliver any kind of sustained rebuttal. They have nothing.

00:15:51.460 What Trump has already demonstrated in his second term is that the United States is the most

00:15:57.340 powerful nation on the planet. And when we start acting like it, other countries have no choice

00:16:02.720 but to submit, follow the program. This is such a foreign concept to Democrats and the corporate

00:16:08.560 press that they're just shocked by what's happened so far. Right when they come up with a talking point,

00:16:14.660 it's already negated. And then we're on to the next topic, like taking over Gaza and firing

00:16:21.220 everyone at USAID, for example. In other words, for the first time in memory, Republicans are setting

00:16:26.100 the narrative in Washington. So that's what's happening. And they're doing it by carrying out

00:16:31.780 the agenda that voters elected them to carry out, an agenda that puts this country before any others,

00:16:37.500 which should not be a novel concept. It's certainly not any kind of secretive strategy cooked up by

00:16:43.500 Project 2025 or whatever. Or maybe it is. I guess we can admit that now. But in any event,

00:16:50.140 less than a month into Trump's term, it's obviously effective. And with every major concession we

00:16:55.800 receive from a foreign country and every unhinged rally that Democrats stage in Washington,

00:17:00.720 it's clear that none of Trump's enemies have any plan at the moment or any ability

00:17:05.960 to stop whatever's coming next. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:17:16.720 You know what keeps me up at night? The state of our country. But at least I'm not tossing and

00:17:20.580 turning because of my mattress anymore. That's right, folks. I'm talking about Helix Sleep. I

00:17:25.040 never realized how badly I needed a new mattress until I finally got one. My Helix Sleep mattress

00:17:29.220 actually supports my body the way that it should, sleeping straight through the night for the first time

00:18:24.160 All right, so I just alluded to Trump's proposal for Gaza. This is something that he floated yesterday.

00:18:30.380 As the blitzkrieg continues. And I think we have the clip of that. Let's play that.

00:18:37.260 The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too. We'll own it and be

00:18:44.160 responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site.

00:18:50.080 Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings. Level it out. Create an economic

00:18:56.180 development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.

00:19:03.620 Do a real job. Do something different. Just can't go back. If you go back,

00:19:08.260 it's going to end up the same way it has for 100 years.

00:19:12.220 Here's the only thing I'll say about this.

00:19:13.980 And you know that over the last eight or nine years as Trump has been on the scene,

00:19:20.360 I have not been a 4D chess type of person. That's been the meme now for years that

00:19:31.620 the idea is that Trump's most loyal supporters, whenever Trump does something that they would

00:19:38.520 otherwise disagree with, they'll claim that it's 4D chess. That there's, it may seem like you disagree

00:19:43.860 with it, but really there's something else going on below the surface. And very often historically,

00:19:48.980 that has just been grade A cope is all that has been. But so this is not the 4D chess meme when I say

00:20:00.800 this. Um, that it's clear, especially in Trump's second term, that there's a, there's a, a real

00:20:10.880 strategy that we've seen because we've seen it play out. We've seen it work. We just talked about

00:20:14.540 it in the monologue. And I think that what we just heard there, uh, recent history would indicate

00:20:22.780 is a strategy, uh, a negotiating tactic. So what I'll say is that personally, I have no interest

00:20:31.240 in the United States actually taking ownership of Gaza, uh, doing anything to rebuild it.

00:20:39.040 And we got, we got plenty of places in America that need to be rebuilt.

00:20:42.760 You know, we've got, we've got towns in North Carolina, still in ruins because of a hurricane.

00:20:48.060 We've got Los Angeles that was just burned, uh, you know, in historic fires. Um, so we've got

00:20:55.220 plenty of rebuilding to do in America. I'm not interested in rebuilding some godforsaken strip

00:20:59.300 of land in the Middle East. Not interested in that. Certainly not interested in spending any

00:21:05.060 American lives or treasure building and then defending Gaza. Not interested. Um,

00:21:13.760 so the actual thing itself, I don't want to see happen. However, if the threat of the thing

00:21:22.380 brings about a favorable result for, for the United States, then great. So I think that we have every,

00:21:30.520 based on recent history, based on what we've seen happen now, several times, just over the last few

00:21:35.700 weeks, we have, uh, many reasons to assume that this is a negotiating tactic. That Trump is throwing

00:21:45.760 out this proposal, uh, as a way of putting the United States in the strongest possible negotiating

00:21:52.100 position to then create a favorable result for the United States primarily, because that should be our

00:21:59.860 primary concern. And it is Trump's primary concern. So I think that's what's happening here. It's,

00:22:04.400 it's, it's, it is not dissimilar to what's happened with Panama. Now we, as we talked about, we know

00:22:11.840 that, that Trump has seemingly floated the idea of potentially retaking the Panama Canal by force.

00:22:20.320 Now, in that case, I think, I think, I think a stronger case could be made for actually doing that

00:22:26.380 if it comes to it. But I also don't think that Trump is actually going to do that. I don't see that

00:22:31.940 really happening. I don't think that there's any kind of plausible future where Trump is sending

00:22:38.040 troops down to Panama to forcibly retake the Panama Canal. But what he's doing is he's putting

00:22:43.800 that on the table and saying, look, we could do that. If it comes to it, we could, we don't want to,

00:22:49.900 but we could. And when it comes to the Panama Canal, that strategy floating something that like the

00:22:56.860 most extreme possible scenario that almost certainly won't happen, floating it, putting

00:23:02.240 yourself in a strong negotiating position. And then with Panama Canal, it already, it brought about,

00:23:07.260 you know, significant results almost instantly. You had Panama dropping contracts with China

00:23:16.460 right, right away. It was like almost within seconds. And so I feel pretty confident that

00:23:26.940 something similar is happening here, which is all a long way of saying that I think there's every

00:23:33.460 reason to wait and see how this plays out. And when I say wait and see how it plays out, again,

00:23:37.340 recent history tells us that doesn't necessarily mean that we have to wait six years.

00:23:42.660 You know, in the last few weeks, the results come about pretty quickly. And so that's how I'm

00:23:55.120 looking at this. And let's see how it plays out. So there's been a lot of controversy after somebody

00:24:02.620 named Darren Beattie was appointed to be Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs.

00:24:08.120 And that seems like the kind of appointment that would not generate much controversy because

00:24:12.400 nobody even knows what the Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs does.

00:24:18.380 You have never thought about that position in your life. Neither have I. But this guy was

00:24:24.240 appointed to that position by Trump. And it did generate controversy in this case,

00:24:29.220 because Darren Beattie has previously tweeted, quote unquote, controversial things like this.

00:24:34.640 And this was a recent tweet, I think last year. He tweeted,

00:24:37.380 Competent white men must be in charge if we want things to work. Unfortunately,

00:24:42.580 our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities

00:24:47.200 and demoralizing competent white men. So a lot of outrage over that because he was then selected for

00:24:55.180 this government post. And the problem with the outrage over these comments is that we all know

00:24:59.760 that they would garner no outrage if you just subbed white men for people of color. So if he had said

00:25:07.520 that competent people of color must be in charge and that we shouldn't coddle white men because it's

00:25:13.740 demoralizing to people of color, if he said that, nobody would care. Leftists say that kind of thing

00:25:21.140 every day. It is a completely mainstream point of view on the left. And as if to prove that point,

00:25:30.220 Representative Jasmine Crockett, who, as we know, has the IQ of a beanbag chair, went on CNN to talk

00:25:37.040 about this, talk about Darren Beattie and his comments. And in the process, she said this, listen.

00:25:44.420 The coddling is for the white boys. That's what's happening right now. I am tired of the white tears.

00:25:49.640 Listen, if you are competent, you are not concerned. When I walk into Congress every single day,

00:25:55.580 you know why I don't feel a way and why you can't make me doubt who I am? It's because I know that I

00:26:01.000 had to work 10 times as hard as they did just to get into the seat. When you look and you compare me

00:26:06.300 to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. And that is the life that we

00:26:12.140 have always lived. The coddling is for the white boys, she says. Not even white men.

00:26:19.640 Couldn't even bring herself to call us men. Boys. Calling us boys. And she's tired of the white

00:26:25.620 tears. Right. So what if I listened to this ridiculous woman complain and then I said that

00:26:36.780 I've had enough of the coddling of black girls and I'm tired of the black tears. What if I said

00:26:43.560 that about Jasmine Crockett? What if I just said I'm sick of these whining black girls and their black

00:26:50.560 tears? What if I said that? Better yet, what if an elected representative of the United States

00:26:57.160 government said it? What if a United States congressman, a white male United States

00:27:01.740 congressman said that about Jasmine Crockett? A white male member of Congress went on Fox News

00:27:08.440 and said, stop coddling these black girls. I'm sick of the black tears.

00:27:17.900 Well, we know what happened. I mean, that person would be removed from Congress,

00:27:21.480 probably arrested for a hate crime. Again, I was like, I'm not even exaggerating.

00:27:26.560 So if you want to know who's actually coddled, well, this kind of shows you, doesn't it? Because

00:27:30.540 Darren Beattie's comments made national news, dozens of headlines about it.

00:27:35.240 And he's just a bureaucrat appointed to a position that most people have never heard of,

00:27:40.420 and they don't even know what that person does. Jasmine Crockett is a United States congresswoman.

00:27:48.540 The two comments were at least equally racially charged, though I would say Crockett's even more so.

00:27:56.180 But, you know, white tears, white boys, that's even more. That kind of rhetoric is more charged

00:28:03.420 than what Darren Beattie said. But even if we put them on equal, an equal playing field,

00:28:10.580 the two people are not on an equal playing field.

00:28:14.900 One is just a bureaucrat who, again, no one even knows who that person is or what that position is,

00:28:20.340 and the other one's a congresswoman. But guess which of the two got all the attention and all the

00:28:24.540 outrage and all the headlines? Well, we know. And, you know, this is the thing. A lot of people on the

00:28:31.380 right, this is what you have to understand. That a lot of people on the right are just simply done

00:28:38.660 with the double standard. And when I say done with it, I mean, done with it means they're not

00:28:48.020 just complaining about it anymore. What they're saying is, we're not going to respect that.

00:28:52.600 We don't recognize the double standard. It doesn't exist for us anymore.

00:28:58.600 You know, several decades of it has been more than enough. And so a lot of people are done with it.

00:29:06.700 And so they're saying, OK, well, if those are the rules, we're just going to do that.

00:29:11.260 Like, if you're allowed to talk that way, then that's how we're going to talk.

00:29:14.100 That's it. Like, we're not, we just don't recognize when you say, oh, no, no, but you're

00:29:19.480 not allowed to say those things. We've got a whole bunch of people, and I think an increasing

00:29:23.780 of our people are saying, well, I don't, I don't, I don't, what do you mean I'm not allowed to?

00:29:27.240 No, that's, she says it, I'm going to say it. That's it.

00:29:31.000 Um, and, and so, so the, the, when you hear about

00:29:39.340 the rise of racism, the rise of hate, and we'll play, you know, the NFL, as we know,

00:29:45.860 we'll play this in a second, but, uh, the NFL has been on a courageous, uh, uh, campaign against

00:29:52.240 hate, the rising hate that they're like, what are they talking about? What do you mean rising hate?

00:29:56.720 Well, uh, some of that is just people on the right saying, listen, we're going to play by

00:30:05.320 the same rules that the left plays by, whether you like it or not. Like, we're not asking for

00:30:10.340 permission. So the scenario that I just described, the hypothetical, somebody saying, man, I'm,

00:30:16.560 I'm tired of the black tears from these black girls. You're going to start hearing that kind

00:30:21.180 of thing unironically more and more. And when you do, the media is going to panic and lament the

00:30:27.920 rise of white supremacy or whatever. But all that's really happening is that the playing field

00:30:33.920 is being evened out. The rules are being equally applied. So if we don't want to see that,

00:30:40.780 if we don't want to hear white men using the same kind of language that black members of Congress use

00:30:46.780 every damn day in this country, then the way to avoid that is for Jasmine Crockett and the Jasmine

00:30:55.640 Crockett's of the world to be condemned harshly for their racism and held to a higher standard

00:31:02.040 that that's the way, because what I'm saying is this, you know, people of color, quote unquote POC

00:31:11.760 are held to standards that are all the way down here. Um, in particular, when it comes to

00:31:20.260 racial conversations and like the kinds of things you're allowed to say about racial issues and

00:31:25.360 members of other races. So the standards, if you are POC, the standards are all the way down here,

00:31:30.780 almost non-existence that you can say almost anything you want about anything when it comes

00:31:36.240 to that subject. Uh, the rules in place governing what they can and can't say about other races.

00:31:41.380 Those rules are very, very relaxed to the point where there basically are none. Meanwhile, white

00:31:48.360 people, especially white men are held to this standard up here, much higher, much, much, much higher.

00:31:54.260 There, there are many, many, many, many more rules for what the white man is allowed to say.

00:32:00.620 So that if a white man says something that the most prominent black people in the country say

00:32:07.720 all the time, every single day for the white man, those same statements make him essentially a

00:32:14.900 Klansman. They make him a Nazi. So those are the two standards. Okay. They're like this way up here

00:32:21.700 and way down here. Those are the standards. And what I'm saying is that one of two things is going to

00:32:27.560 happen, right? Either the standards and rules for non-white men are going to come up here,

00:32:38.000 right? Yeah. That's one thing that could happen. You could take Jasmine Crockett, bring her up here

00:32:43.000 and say, no, no, no, no, you can't get away with saying stuff like that. We would never accept it

00:32:47.780 from any of your white male colleagues. We don't accept it from you. You disgusting bigot,

00:32:53.000 you horrific, awful person, you Nazi, you know, all the same stuff. Um, so that could happen,

00:32:59.660 you know, raise those standards all the way up here. Or the other thing that's going to happen

00:33:03.700 is that whether the media likes it or not, the standards for white men, the, the, the, you know,

00:33:12.060 the, the, the rules of what kind of language. And when I say rules, I don't mean, you know,

00:33:16.960 actual laws governed, but, but just like the, the, what is considered acceptable standards of

00:33:21.480 conduct in society, that's going to come down here. And then we're all going to be down here

00:33:26.360 in this playing field where there basically aren't any, it's like, just, you know, say whatever you

00:33:30.200 want. Um, now one of those two things is going to happen. That's what I'm telling you. Uh, and

00:33:36.480 cause, cause this and this is not, it's been like this for decades and it's just not going to continue.

00:33:42.720 It's just not. Uh, and the fact that somebody, even though, even though it was a bureaucratic post,

00:33:49.000 I mean, the fact is the fact that Darren Beattie said that about, we need more, we need, we need

00:33:55.420 white men in charge. He got a position in Trump's government, you know, and for a lot of people on

00:34:02.920 the left and the media, they're, they're, they're horrified by that. Well, that's a, that's a pretty

00:34:08.860 good sign that like, we're not doing this anymore. This, this thing, we're not doing it because we all

00:34:13.720 know that if Darren Beattie was a black guy and he said the exact same thing, but flip the races,

00:34:17.860 he could get any government position he wanted. So we're just not doing this. We are not doing

00:34:23.260 it anymore. It's not going to happen. Now here's what I would like to see happen. Uh, cause I'm

00:34:30.320 just, I'm telling you where this is headed. That's all I'm trying to tell you. What I'd personally like

00:34:35.000 to see happen is a kind of meeting in the middle. Okay. I think the rules, the standards,

00:34:40.860 that's when I say rules, I mean, standards, uh, you know, the, the standards for what is

00:34:46.580 considered just acceptable in civilized society. Uh, I think that those, that that is way, way too

00:34:54.940 strict for the dastardly white man, uh, and way too low for Jasmine Crockett. And so what I'd like

00:35:04.360 to see is a kind of a, kind of a, a meeting in the middle where everybody is held to a reasonable

00:35:09.680 standard of conduct. I don't think that it should be socially acceptable to speak with

00:35:17.180 the level of contempt that Jasmine Crockett used for members of another race. Not that it should

00:35:23.720 be illegal, not that there should be, uh, any kind of legal penalties, but just, it shouldn't be

00:35:28.860 socially acceptable in a civilized society. It shouldn't be socially acceptable. White tears,

00:35:34.940 white boys, that's just full on dripping racist contempt.

00:35:43.140 And, uh, I don't think that should be socially acceptable.

00:35:48.280 I don't want to see that in any direction from anybody.

00:35:53.920 So what I would like to see is just like, that's it. Just a, you know, just like a, this,

00:35:59.100 you know, up here and down here, just kind of a meeting in the middle.

00:36:01.600 And everybody's held to the same standard and it's, it's a reasonable standard.

00:36:08.980 Um, but so that's, I guess that's the third option.

00:36:17.280 Everyone's down here. Everyone's all the way up here or everyone's in the middle,

00:36:20.060 but it's not going to be what it's been for the last several decades is not going to continue.

00:36:23.800 It's, it's simply not. And, um, like it or not, you know, I think it's one thing the left is

00:36:29.980 learning that it's like, we're not asking your permission anymore. You know, you don't get to

00:36:34.080 decide this, you see? So I know that the racial double standard, I know you like it and you'd like

00:36:41.920 for it to continue, but it's not going to. All right. Well, I just alluded to it. I hope you're

00:36:48.840 ready to be inspired. Uh, Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady have teamed up with the NFL to make a commercial

00:36:54.020 about how hate is bad. And their point about hate, uh, it's a pretty provocative point.

00:37:02.500 Their point is that hate, well, it's just that hate is bad. It's actually bad. It's not good.

00:37:07.820 You see there, they're against hate, but all you people that are big, uh, fans of hate,

00:37:12.920 they're not fans of it. They are not fans and neither is the NFL. And so the NFL made this

00:37:19.000 commercial with Tom Brady and, uh, and Snoop Dogg. Let's watch. I hate you because we're from

00:37:24.840 different neighborhoods. I hate you because you look different. I hate you because I don't understand

00:37:28.980 you. I hate you because people I know hate you. I hate you because I think you hate me because I

00:37:34.000 need someone to blame because you talk different because you act different because you're just different.

00:37:42.920 Man, I hate that things are so bad that we have to do a commercial about it. Me too.

00:37:54.440 Wow. Stand up to hate. Says it right there. Very brave. Um, can I say, first of all,

00:38:02.480 why is Snoop Dogg the most prominent and visible human on planet earth? Well, Snoop Dogg

00:38:09.460 is everywhere. He's the closest a human can be to omnipresence. And I, I, I really don't get it.

00:38:17.980 I feel like Hollywood, the media, professional sports government, they're all conspiring together

00:38:23.480 to shove Snoop Dogg in our faces. There's a big, there's a huge secretive Illuminati conspiracy

00:38:31.740 that all centers around Snoop Dogg somehow. It like, it all comes down to Snoop Dogg.

00:38:40.080 The most powerful forces on earth are involved in a dark conspiracy to make us like Snoop Dogg.

00:38:45.200 That's real. That's it. They're all, they're all meeting in their dark, smoky rooms

00:38:53.540 and whispering. And you're wondering like, what do they want to do? They're going to,

00:38:59.400 they have plans to conquer the world, to brainwash all of us, to release another COVID virus. I mean,

00:39:07.200 yeah, all that, but, but, but why? I mean, the reason behind all of it is just to make us like Snoop

00:39:11.840 Dogg. That's it. What does Snoop Dogg even do? What does he do? What, like, what's his nine to

00:39:20.460 five like? Cause I'm going to explain what, when was the last time Snoop Dogg had a hit song?

00:39:28.340 When was the last time you heard a Snoop Dogg song, a new one? Snoop Dogg has had,

00:39:34.960 and this is probably going to be shocking to you because he's everywhere. You would just assume

00:39:39.300 you would assume that this guy has 75 number one hits. This guy has had two hits his whole career.

00:39:49.920 He's, he's 89 years old now and looks it by the way. Uh, he's been on the scene for decades.

00:39:56.340 He's had two hits. He had a hit in like 1992 called gin and juice. You know, that's a banger as the kids

00:40:02.720 would say, let's be honest about it. Uh, and then there was drop it. Like it's hot in 2004.

00:40:08.860 And I was, that's two in the span of about 12 or 13 years and none ever again, ever, not, not a single

00:40:15.700 one besides those two and 20 years. It's been 20 years since his last hit. And he's now more famous

00:40:23.060 than he's ever been for doing nothing. I don't understand it. You're not allowed to have a

00:40:29.920 commercial without Snoop Dogg in it. It's a, it's like an FCC regulation. Verizon tried to have one

00:40:35.660 saw one commercial without Snoop Dogg two years ago. They got fined $80 billion. That actually

00:40:39.520 happened. Look it up. It's, I, I don't, I, what were we talking about? Right. Okay. Well,

00:40:48.400 we got to stop hate. That's what we should be talking about. I really, the Snoop Dogg things is,

00:40:51.720 that's a whole other, that's a whole monologue right there. Cause we need to get to the bottom of

00:40:55.580 that. I need to understand. Does he even have a great personality? What is it about him?

00:41:04.780 But anyway, so we got to stop hate and needless to say, ending hate is the most,

00:41:09.980 it's the most meaningless campaign you could ever launch. It means nothing. Stand up to hate.

00:41:17.700 Okay. What does that mean? Actually, how do I stand up to it by saying that hate is bad?

00:41:23.440 All right. Well, after that's done, then like what's next?

00:41:29.380 And also is hate actually bad? This, this slogan on the screen, if you didn't see,

00:41:36.140 listen to the audio podcast, there's a slogan came on the screen. It said,

00:41:38.380 stand up to all hate, all hate. Really? Well, what does hate mean? Hate is, is an intense disliked

00:41:47.640 or, or, or a strong disgust towards something or someone that's hate. Uh, really hate means a

00:41:53.920 desire to see something destroyed. If love is, uh, is a desire to, you know, is, is to will the good

00:42:00.480 of the other. If that's what love is, um, then it stands to reason that hate is basically to will

00:42:06.880 the destruction of, of another. And so my question is, is there nothing that should make us feel

00:42:13.260 disgust? Is there nothing that we should want to see destroyed? What about drug cartels? Can we hate

00:42:21.300 them? Can we want them to be destroyed? What about child abusers? You know, can we have a strong

00:42:28.040 disgust and disdain for them? What about, what about white supremacists? The three white supremacists in,

00:42:35.700 in the world, are we allowed to hate? Cause I'm pretty sure I bet you the NFL and Snoop Dogg and Tom

00:42:41.620 Brady would tell, would say, Oh yeah, well, but then, I mean, not all, okay. Well, not all hate

00:42:45.880 stand up to all hate, except those three hate the hell out of them. They should, but everyone else

00:42:53.040 don't hate. So, um, and this is not just semantics. I mean, standing up to hate being against hate

00:43:00.940 isn't just dumb because it's meaningless, but it's also, it's also dumb because it's not correct.

00:43:07.140 It's not the correct way to live. Uh, hate itself is not an objectively bad thing.

00:43:14.580 It, we should hate things that are deserving of hate and we should not hate things that are not

00:43:20.840 deserving of it. I mean, that, that is the message and hate is a part of love, right? You can't actually

00:43:28.540 love without hating because to love someone is to hate what threatens and harms that person.

00:43:40.900 That's what loving means. So hate and love are, are basically two sides of the same coin.

00:43:48.560 What happens, the problem is when the coin gets flipped upside down. It's when it gets inverted.

00:43:53.600 It's when you're hating what you should, what you should love and loving what you should hate.

00:43:58.480 That is the problem. But, uh, I think that message is, I guess, a little bit too

00:44:04.440 subtle and nuanced for the great philosopher Snoop Dogg. Uh, and so we end up with this instead.

00:44:11.540 Let's get to the comment section.

00:44:12.900 If you're a man, it's required that you grow a beard. Hey, we're the sweet baby gang.

00:44:19.840 Success is not built on resolutions. Those are made to break. It's built on taking action and

00:44:27.460 building unstoppable momentum. When it comes to optimizing your health span, living better and

00:44:32.380 longer, certain things are non-negotiable. Quality sits at the top of that list. And in the world of

00:44:36.900 performance-focused supplements, Momentus stands alone. Their commitment to NSL certification means

00:44:43.100 every batch undergoes rigorous testing for heavy metals, harmful additives, and label accuracy.

00:44:48.120 It's why they've earned the trust of all 32 NFL teams and leading collegiate sport dietitians

00:44:52.760 nationwide. While other brands chase trends and flood the market with endless options, Momentus

00:44:58.180 takes a different approach. They rely on research and expert guidance to focus on what truly matters,

00:45:03.360 mastering the fundamentals with unwavering consistency, then tailoring supplementation

00:45:07.820 to your specific goals. Speaking of fundamentals, protein and creatine form the cornerstone.

00:45:12.840 Momentus sources Creopure, the highest-grade creatine monohydrate available, an essential

00:45:16.760 supplement for both men and women seeking peak physical and cognitive performance.

00:45:28.400 Two hallmarks of every dictatorship, transparency and cutting wasteful spending. We truly are in a

00:45:33.720 constitutional crisis. Exactly. Yeah. And we really can't overstate the transparency side of it,

00:45:39.640 as you point out. Trump is easily the most transparent president in American history

00:45:43.760 without a close second. And I don't think that that aspect is discussed enough or appreciated enough,

00:45:52.480 just how transparent this guy is. That he'll tell you exactly what he's doing, why he wants to do it.

00:45:59.360 He talks to the... He's already talked to the press more in two or three weeks than Biden did his entire

00:46:07.620 four years. And a truly extreme level of transparency.

00:46:15.220 I wonder what Matt's take is on the new Final Destination movie trailer. Well, I haven't seen it yet.

00:46:22.700 And the reason I haven't watched it is that I'm just not prepared to witness the beauty and magnificence

00:46:27.880 of what I'm sure is one of the great works of cinematic art of all time. And so I won't shock

00:46:36.860 you to learn that I'm highly anticipating the next Final Destination film. There have been, I think,

00:46:43.360 five Final Destination films before this latest one that's coming out. And I'm just glad they're

00:46:49.440 still making them. I mean, if you watch the first five films, which works out to about seven and a half

00:46:54.380 hours of screen time, you get the sense that there's so much more story to tell.

00:47:00.020 You know, I watch all seven and a half hours as I have so many times. Just, I watch all,

00:47:04.120 I just watch them all, uh, all in a row. And it's, you know, I got a wife and kids and they're like,

00:47:11.640 what's daddy doing? Oh, he's watching Final Destination again. And I just watch it all day,

00:47:15.800 all day. And, uh, cause there's so many huge Final Destination fans out there, aren't there?

00:47:20.640 I can't be the only one. So many people that if you ask them, what's their favorite film,

00:47:26.420 they'll say Final Destination. So it makes sense that they're making another one.

00:47:32.100 People are, have been yearning for Final Destination six this whole time. But anyway,

00:47:39.080 so when I watch all seven and a half hours, the thing I think to myself is that's it. I need more.

00:47:44.600 I need seven and a half more hours of, of this. And I've been waiting. I've been waiting every day,

00:47:50.760 every day I've walked for 15 years, 15. I think the last one came out 15 years ago,

00:47:54.240 15 years. I've been, every day I wake up, I check my phone first thing to look to see if the new

00:48:00.380 Final Destination is coming out. I've been every year, every day of every year. And, uh,

00:48:06.160 and finally it's here. So I'm just, I could not be more, more excited. Um,

00:48:10.520 not every child is like yours, Matt. Not all kids find something they love.

00:48:16.600 That's great that you can entertain your children with archery. Not everyone can afford to give

00:48:19.960 their children a skill. I've succeeded, uh, the no medicine route and changed the diet and have

00:48:25.180 given my child time and it's paying off. But to give this advice is to assume that it works for

00:48:29.040 everyone. Uh, not everyone can afford to give their children a skill. You might as well say that

00:48:35.140 not everyone can afford to discipline their children or to, or to love them. You know,

00:48:38.920 giving your children skills, helping them develop skills is one of the most fundamental jobs of a

00:48:43.400 parent. And if you don't do it, it's not because you couldn't afford it. It doesn't cost money.

00:48:49.360 There's no entry. There's no entry fee for developing skills. Um, parents who are far poorer than you

00:48:58.220 have managed to raise children who have skills. So no, yes, you, I'm not saying it has to be archery.

00:49:06.360 I was just giving that as an example, something that's worked for my kids that they enjoy. It

00:49:09.160 might not, but you need to help your kid, your children develop skills. That's, and you cannot

00:49:14.500 use the excuse that you don't have the money to do it. Um, Matt, I was at a parent teacher conference

00:49:22.200 for my son earlier this year and his teacher was discussing my son's attention problems. I've

00:49:26.700 already told both my wife and the teacher that my son would never be medicated for ADHD.

00:49:30.580 But the teacher was almost trying to convince us to get an ADHD diagnosis from a psychologist

00:49:35.060 so that she could help him. She then told me that seven kids in her class were diagnosed with ADHD

00:49:40.100 and had recommended teaching adaptations. I said, wait a minute, how many kids are in your class? 16.

00:49:46.220 So she apparently thought nothing of the fact that 50% of her class had ADHD.

00:49:50.840 Well, yeah, she thinks nothing of it along with many people in this country who think nothing of it.

00:49:54.880 They haven't even asked the basic question that you seem to be asking here very astutely, which is

00:49:59.800 if ADHD is a disorder, why is it so common? Okay. If we notice that a certain set of behaviors is very

00:50:09.080 common, doesn't that by definition mean that they are not disordered? Doesn't it mean that they are

00:50:16.720 very much within the order of things? Like in what sense are they disordered? What is the proper order?

00:50:26.500 Who decided on it? And how does that person know that the ADHD kid doesn't, is, is outside of it?

00:50:34.680 You know, uh, take Matt. ADHD meds changed my life. Stimulants are not psychotropic. They're

00:50:43.400 essentially coffee with more positive effects and less negative effects. Being medicated for ADHD

00:50:47.460 is associated with nearly normal prefrontal lobe development while adults with ADHD who never

00:50:52.600 medicated have noticeably underdeveloped prefrontal lobes. Medication for ADHD should absolutely not

00:50:57.160 be a last resort. It should be the first precisely because it's the most effective and helps with all

00:51:01.520 the other treatment methods. Uh, well, this is, this is total. And I mean, no offense, this is total

00:51:06.180 insanity, everything you've just written and your comment, the entire problem is just summed up in

00:51:13.720 your comment, everything about it, uh, including the fact that you're hopelessly deluded about what

00:51:19.640 ADHD meds are. You're taking them. You have no idea what they are. And I'm going to assume it's partly

00:51:24.760 you're lying to yourself and trying to justify things, but also it sounds like you're being lied

00:51:28.920 to by your doctors. And I think that that's how that happens a lot. Um, stimulants are absolutely

00:51:35.000 psychotropic and amphetamine is without a doubt, a psychotropic drug. A psychotropic drug is a drug

00:51:39.940 that acts on your mind that alters your mind. That's what ADHD drugs do. Okay. They are ostensibly

00:51:47.120 supposedly supposed to be treating a mental disorder, mental means of your mind. So if it's a

00:51:53.500 drug that treats your mind, supposedly it is psychotropic. That's the whole point. Uh, and if

00:51:58.820 you give your kid ADHD drugs, you do have them on psychotropic drugs. If there seems to be something

00:52:02.420 sort of innately unsettling about the idea of giving psychotropic drugs to an eight year old,

00:52:06.520 let's say, uh, well, yeah, exactly. But they are psychotropic. The bit about the prefrontal cortex.

00:52:13.720 Oh, and you know, amphetamines are, are safer than coffee, have less side effects is just nonsense.

00:52:19.800 I mean, that's insane. That's a crazy thing to say. It is not remotely true. And if you were told that

00:52:27.500 by your doctor, he is lying to you, get a new doctor. I don't know how else to put it.

00:52:33.780 Uh, the bit about the prefrontal cortex, you know, you gotta, I always get these claims. Well,

00:52:38.440 it's clearly it's shown in studies that this and that, okay, well, send me the studies. I'll read

00:52:41.740 them. I will read the studies, send me whatever literature you supposedly have showing this about

00:52:46.320 the prefrontal cortex. But I have to point out yet again, that I see these comments, um,

00:52:52.220 about, well, it's easy. The ADHD is easily located in the brain. Yeah. Well, why don't they diagnose

00:52:58.040 it by looking at the brain? You ever asked yourself that question? So easy to see in the

00:53:02.680 brain. It's so clear. And yet millions of kids are diagnosed with the, with this disorder and

00:53:08.200 given drugs and no one ever looks at their brain. There is no brain scan done. You know, one of the

00:53:15.500 most basic criteria for ADHD, you know what it is? Before a child is diagnosed ADHD, the doctor wants to

00:53:22.020 know if the child's behavior causes problems at school. That is part of the diagnostic criteria

00:53:27.680 for this disorder is they want to know, does the behavior cause problems at school? Well,

00:53:32.080 let me ask you this. If ADHD is a brain disorder, if it's a brain structure problem,

00:53:36.660 then why in the hell are they asking whether it causes problems at school? Isn't that irrelevant?

00:53:42.200 I mean, if this is a physical illness, then whether or not it causes problems in one context

00:53:46.900 or another is irrelevant to whether it's the disease is happening or not. Okay. If you have

00:53:52.480 cancer, no one is going to ask you, well, is this causing problems at school? It's irrelevant.

00:53:58.620 Cancer is cancer. So we got to treat it. Whether it's causing problems right now is not the point.

00:54:05.620 But my point is that it's, it's not just, well, they want to know if it's causing problems to decide

00:54:10.800 the treatment method. It's whether or not it counts as a disorder depends on whether it's causing

00:54:18.620 problems. Okay. That is, that is a, that is a social, that is a, uh, a, a, you know, a,

00:54:28.880 and I use this phrase not very often for not very many things, but in this case, it is a social,

00:54:34.320 it is actually a social construct. ADHD is a social construct. Let's see. Uh, if ADHD isn't real,

00:54:46.640 then why do ADHD meds stimulants affect people with ADHD differently than people without it? Yeah,

00:54:50.820 that's just not true. That's just not true. Stimulants can affect people. Stimulants can

00:54:55.100 affect people differently, but this idea that in general, people with ADHD react one way,

00:54:59.140 people without it react totally differently. Like that's two different camps and it's, you know,

00:55:03.380 that's nonsense. At best, it is a gross, gross, gross oversimplification. Uh, but it's actually

00:55:08.980 just mostly nonsense. I have ADHD and I completely am able to say that it's real and it does have a

00:55:14.040 big effect on my life considering the way that I am and how I've grown up with it. I tried meds one

00:55:17.640 time, lost weight, was a different person. I did not recommend, recommend medication because your

00:55:21.200 differences make you who you are. I love who I am with my ADHD because I think differently than others

00:55:25.660 and because sometimes my built up energy turns into funny comments, funny jokes, or funny body movements.

00:55:30.900 Well, you're hitting on something very important here. And this is really my fundamental

00:55:33.100 point, which is that yes, ADHD is real in the sense that people with these sets of behaviors

00:55:37.520 and tendencies do exist. I know that what you're describing is a personality type. Okay.

00:55:45.080 People with ADHD are people with a certain type of personality. These are people who think and act

00:55:50.700 a certain way. And the medical industry has declared that these types of people just shouldn't

00:55:55.420 exist. That, that, that a person should just not be that way. That's what they're saying.

00:55:59.300 They look at ADHD. What the medical industry is saying is, well, yeah,

00:56:03.220 they're, they're describing your child's behavior and they're saying, well, he should not be that

00:56:06.980 way. That's just not how a person should be. Says who? Says who? How do we determine that?

00:56:15.600 So it's, it's, you know, the medical industry declaring that it's just not legitimate for a

00:56:21.540 person to think and act this way is what I disagree with. And, and, uh, who is to say that a person

00:56:28.180 isn't supposed to have an ADHD personality? Well, we say that specifically because ADHD types struggle

00:56:33.520 in modern public school setting. Okay. Which they do, but is everyone supposed to thrive in a modern

00:56:41.340 public school setting? Is modern public school setting, is it, is it so fundamental and innate

00:56:46.700 that, that if someone doesn't thrive, it means that they're mentally diseased? I know it would

00:56:52.240 be easier if everybody thrives in a modern public school setting, but is everyone supposed to,

00:56:57.380 is it possible that you have people that just don't, they don't, they don't thrive in that

00:57:01.280 setting. It doesn't really work for them as well as it does for others, but it's not because they're

00:57:04.620 mentally disordered. It's just because they're different. Is that possible? Have we thought about

00:57:08.960 that? You know, it's funny because people are always like, uh, well, you, you don't know what

00:57:14.660 it's like to deal with ADHD. You don't know what it's like. Well, first of all, as I said yesterday,

00:57:18.320 I have two boys that could easily be diagnosed with it. If we wanted to pursue that, which we

00:57:22.760 don't everybody in my life, family, doctors, everyone, they all know. I mean, it's me we're

00:57:27.700 talking about. So they all know that these kinds of diagnoses and especially drugs are a non-starter

00:57:31.520 for me. Don't even bring it up. Not going to happen. Not going to put my kids on these drugs.

00:57:35.220 It will not happen. Literally over my dead body. Will it happen? It will not happen. So we have not

00:57:40.260 pursued it. It would never, we're not going to do it. Um, but you know, uh, I'm, I'm, I'm very

00:57:48.780 familiar with, uh, put it this way with, with kids who have these tendencies. I am very, very familiar

00:57:54.080 with it. And also I know for my own brain. Okay. I, I, I, I could also be diagnosed if I wanted to be.

00:58:01.440 That was the case when I was a kid too. I was a terrible student. I struggled greatly in school.

00:58:05.720 I struggled in, in other areas of my life, even into adulthood. And, you know, I, that's part of

00:58:13.080 my bias. Maybe when it comes to this issue is that when I hear people describe what it's like to

00:58:18.960 have ADHD and I listened to it, I go, Oh, so you mean you're just a person that's, that's, isn't that

00:58:25.100 just how people are? What do you mean? Someone's trying to very, you know, very seriously. Well,

00:58:30.080 you don't know. Well, here's what my mind is like with ADHD. And I listened to it and I go, well,

00:58:34.520 yeah, that's, is that not, isn't that just a brain? Isn't that what brains do? Um, because I'm

00:58:42.100 the exact same way. And, uh, and so it's true that with an ADHD mind, if you want to call it that,

00:58:48.780 you're going to struggle to succeed in certain areas of life and certain environments, especially

00:58:52.480 in a public school setting. Um, so, you know, you could try to take drugs and make that square peg

00:58:58.440 fit into the round hole, or you can try to find environments, find something to do with your life

00:59:03.900 that, uh, where, where having a quote ADHD mind is not a liability, but in fact, an asset.

00:59:10.420 That's one of the reasons why I got into a creative field. I know not everyone can do that. I'm not

00:59:13.840 recommending everyone does just like, I don't recommend archery for every kid. I'm just using

00:59:16.940 it as an example. And so for me, what I realized is that I got a mind that works a certain way.

00:59:22.200 And I don't think it's a bad thing objectively. I think that it could come in handy to work this way.

00:59:27.380 So I get into a creative field in the last three or four years, I've written, produced and starred

00:59:33.180 in two feature films. I do a daily podcast. I, we did a comedy court TV show, you know,

00:59:37.980 along with activism and taking care of eight kids, uh, we're either six kids, a family of eight.

00:59:43.780 And I think part of the reason I'm able to do all that is because I have a brain that just

00:59:48.140 is, you know, different in that way. So I chose to, to not see it as a, as a liability,

00:59:55.940 but to see it as this is how my brain works. I'm going to, I'm going to use it. Um, and I think

01:00:02.500 that with our kids, especially, uh, that's what we should be looking into. This is how your brain

01:00:07.180 works. This is how you are. This is your personality. Um, and how can we harness that? How

01:00:11.820 can we use it? How can we see it as a, as a, as a, as an asset, not a liability? That's my point.

01:00:16.040 Okay. No matter where you're watching or listening right now, take a second and hit

01:00:57.820 SpaceX caught a rocket booster midair. His other company, Tesla revealed a self-driving robo taxi

01:01:03.180 and an autonomous robot. Then there's Neuralink allowing paralyzed people to control computers

01:01:08.560 with their minds. Then he moved into the White House after restoring freedom of speech to social

01:01:13.160 media using his other company, X. But all of these achievements, you may be surprised to learn,

01:01:18.880 pale in comparison to the many accomplishments of a former bartender and current member of Congress

01:01:23.100 named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And that's why the other day, AOC put Elon Musk in his place.

01:01:30.000 She delivered an extremely coherent and rational takedown of Musk, a takedown that doesn't suggest in

01:01:35.920 the slightest that she's thinking about him all the time, or has any kind of unusual preoccupation

01:01:39.560 with him whatsoever, or might even have a kind of romantic infatuation with Elon Musk. Not at all.

01:01:45.160 Now, admittedly, I'm not capable of capturing AOC's brilliant assessment with any kind of paraphrase.

01:01:49.200 So I'll just play the clip for you. And here's what she had to say.

01:01:53.000 This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen,

01:02:00.260 are witnessed. Which, you know, you can probably even glean that from watching these people on TV.

01:02:08.680 Anyways, all of that is to say is that they don't do their homework. Clearly, like,

01:02:15.880 they're putting 19-year-olds in at the treasury. This dude is not smart. And the danger in the lack

01:02:25.360 of intelligence and the lack of expertise that Elon has. I mean, this guy is one of the most morally

01:02:33.900 vacant, but also just least knowledgeable about these systems that we really know of.

01:02:45.180 Um, but the point is, is that what that means is that they're going to hit a button.

01:02:54.020 Inevitably, they're going to hit a button, and things can go sideways.

01:02:58.720 Now, at first glance, a clip like that is obviously pretty convincing. AOC comes across

01:03:02.780 as extremely articulate throughout the whole thing. And as she's particularly, she's particularly

01:03:07.100 articulate when she says that Elon Musk is the most unintelligent billionaire she's ever, quote,

01:03:11.120 quote, seen or witnessed. And you might think that that's a redundant phrase. You might think

01:03:16.220 that seeing and witnessing are synonyms. So you don't need to say, the dumbest one I've seen or

01:03:22.140 witnessed means the same thing. But then again, you're not AOC. You don't understand how words

01:03:27.700 work. Not the way she does anyway. And strangely, though, when I looked at the comments of AOC's video,

01:03:32.400 it seems like most people don't agree with my assessment. Here's one response, for example,

01:03:36.140 quote, she's just mad that Elon won't date her and it drives her insane. And there's this one,

01:03:40.260 which keeps it simple, writes, quote, she is dumb as F. Then scrolling down a little bit,

01:03:45.900 I came across this one, quote, a complete dumbass is running circles around us is not really the

01:03:50.220 own she thinks it is. Now, at this point, I have to admit, I stopped reading the comments.

01:03:53.940 All these people are clearly in denial about AOC's intellectual ability to the point that it's

01:03:57.680 turned them into cruel, misogynistic internet bullies. So I wanted to set the record straight

01:04:01.880 by highlighting some of AOC's best moments, the most shining examples of her intellectual prowess

01:04:07.480 over the years. Before you ever think of criticizing AOC again, or suggesting that she's not as

01:04:12.360 intelligent as the guy who catches rockets in midair, you need to watch the footage I'm about

01:04:16.900 to show you. Elon Musk, he's running multiple multi-billion dollar companies. He's the most

01:04:22.500 financially successful human in history. And while working to reform the US government,

01:04:29.180 he's also developing interplanetary spacecraft, which is to say, he cannot possibly compete with

01:04:35.200 the formidable intellect of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. So here, for example, is AOC demonstrating that

01:04:40.700 unlike Elon Musk, she does her homework. She comes prepared with a high IQ and a lot of facts about

01:04:46.240 whatever issue she's talking about. Watch. But I am, of course, the dynamic there in terms of

01:04:53.500 geopolitics and the war in the Middle East is very different than people expressing their First

01:04:57.580 Amendment right to protest. Well, yes. But I also think that what people are starting to see, at least

01:05:05.700 in the occupation of Palestine, is just an increasing crisis of humanitarian condition. And that to me is

01:05:16.220 just where I tend to come from on this issue. You use the term the occupation of Palestine. What did you mean

01:05:23.780 by that? Oh, I think what I meant is like the settlements that are increasing in some of

01:05:33.160 these areas and places where Palestinians are experiencing difficulty in access to their housing

01:05:43.300 and homes. Do you think you can expand on that? Yeah. I mean, I think I'd also just, I am not the

01:05:49.080 expert on geopolitics on this. You know, she's being modest at the end there, like all geniuses

01:05:55.480 are. But really, watching that clip, it's effortless. She clearly knows everything there is

01:05:59.680 to know about the Middle East. And I didn't think she was reading from a cue card or a notebook or

01:06:03.480 anything. And that came straight from upstairs. And occupation is when, oh, I think what I mean is

01:06:10.000 like the settlements that are increasing, I mean, in places where people are experiencing difficulty.

01:06:13.700 Did you get that? Rewind the video. If not, I mean, you're in the presence of greatness here.

01:06:19.140 This woman is an intellectual titan. What about this gem in which AOC highlights her background

01:06:25.380 in economics? She could teach a class at Harvard Business School tomorrow if she wanted to.

01:06:31.260 Watch this. We look at these figures and we say, oh, unemployment is low. Everything is fine,

01:06:36.680 right? Well, unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs.

01:06:39.680 Well, did you get that? The unemployment rate is low because everyone has two jobs.

01:06:45.400 Makes perfect sense. You know, when you have two jobs, you basically count as

01:06:47.980 two people with jobs. That's why the unemployment rate is currently negative 100%.

01:06:53.860 Now, after this interview came out, some racist and misogynistic economics professors

01:06:57.960 came out and disagreed with her. One in particular came out with this statement.

01:07:02.320 Whether someone has multiple jobs doesn't enter into the construction of the unemployment rate,

01:07:05.500 the unemployment rate is calculated from a survey of individuals where each individual is

01:07:09.060 classified as having a job without a job and on temporary layoff or actively searching for work

01:07:13.740 or out of labor force, close quote. So that's just pure bigotry, obviously. AOC knows what she's

01:07:19.640 talking about. Put aside the fact that the number of people who have two jobs is less than 5% and

01:07:24.360 dropping year over year. AOC knows what she's talking about when it comes to economics. In fact,

01:07:29.580 she also knows what she's talking about when it comes to the law. She's like a renaissance woman.

01:07:33.300 Whatever specialty you're talking about, she understands it. Like the back of her hand.

01:07:38.260 AOC.

01:07:39.580 Is it your testimony today that you personally witnessed President Joe Biden commit a crime?

01:07:49.020 I believe the fact that he was sitting with me while I was putting together a business deal.

01:07:56.520 Did you witness the president commit a crime? Is it your testimony today?

01:08:01.020 Yes.

01:08:01.840 And what crime do you have you witnessed?

01:08:05.180 How much time do I have to go through it?

01:08:06.700 It is simple. You name the crime. Did you watch him steal something?

01:08:11.700 Corruption statutes, RICO and conspiracy.

01:08:14.020 What is it? What is the crime, sir? Specifically.

01:08:19.880 You asked me to answer the question. I answered the question. RICO, you're obviously not familiar

01:08:25.200 with. Corruption statutes.

01:08:26.220 Excuse me, sir. Excuse me, sir. Excuse me, sir. RICO is not a crime. It is a category.

01:08:33.540 What is the crime?

01:08:34.860 It's a category of crimes that you're then charged.

01:08:37.620 You have charges.

01:08:38.500 You have charges. You have charges. Sir, please name the exact statute under RICO.

01:08:44.360 Yes.

01:08:44.940 Well, it's funny. In this committee room, everyone's not here. There's over 18 lawyers that went to law school.

01:08:51.100 All right, sir. I reclaim my time.

01:08:52.780 You heard it there. RICO is not a crime. Maybe she thought he was referring to like

01:08:57.020 a guy from Latin America named RICO. I don't know. Yeah. RICO was enacted by the Organized Crime Control Act.

01:09:04.220 And yes, it includes criminal penalties for racketeering activity. But no, it's not a crime to violate RICO,

01:09:09.140 according to AOC. All those RICO prosecutions of the mafia, Bernie Madoff's associates, of Donald Trump

01:09:14.740 and his aides in Georgia, all those are figments of your imagination. If you watch the news at any point

01:09:19.540 in the last century, you might think all those RICO prosecutions happened. But that's because you don't

01:09:24.220 understand the law like AOC does. Neither does Tom Homan, the new border czar. Watch as AOC educates Tom

01:09:30.220 Homan on a little thing called asylum law. What I'm saying, this is not the only paper

01:09:36.480 where we've given the secretary numerous options to secure the border and save lives.

01:09:41.660 And so the recommendation of the many that you recommended, you recommended family separation.

01:09:47.140 I recommended zero tolerance. Which includes family separation.

01:09:51.660 The same as it is whenever U.S. citizen parent gets arrested with a child.

01:09:55.040 Zero tolerance was interpreted as the policy that separated children from their parents.

01:10:03.740 If I get arrested for DUI and I have a young child in a car, I'm going to be separated.

01:10:07.760 When I was a police officer in New York and I arrested a father for domestic violence,

01:10:11.680 I separated that father from his family.

01:10:12.640 Mr. Homan, with all due respect, legal asylees are not charged with any crime.

01:10:19.320 When you're in the country illegally, it's a violation of the United States Code 1325.

01:10:24.780 Seeking asylum is legal.

01:10:27.100 If you want to seek asylum and go through the port of entry, do it the legal way.

01:10:30.700 The Attorney General of the United States has made that clear.

01:10:33.560 Okay.

01:10:38.020 She's a legal expert.

01:10:38.920 So AOC is explaining here that as long as someone comes into this country and just says,

01:10:47.280 I'm seeking asylum, it's automatically not illegal.

01:10:51.100 So if someone's an illegal immigrant and they snuck into the country,

01:10:56.040 as soon as ICE shows up, all they have to say is asylum.

01:11:00.100 And magically, it's no longer illegal.

01:11:03.200 That's her point.

01:11:04.400 Now, at this point, you're probably saying, I get it.

01:11:06.940 No more clips.

01:11:07.760 AOC, clearly a savant.

01:11:09.400 Knows the law better than the lawmen.

01:11:11.820 But I'm going to keep going because all you haters out there have left me with no choice.

01:11:14.500 So let's continue.

01:11:15.120 Did you know that it's possible to invent technologies that have already been invented?

01:11:18.880 Well, it's true.

01:11:20.000 You might have thought that the word invent means to create something that's never been created before,

01:11:23.360 but you're wrong.

01:11:24.280 And again, while you were sleeping in English class,

01:11:26.020 AOC was in the library paging through the biggest dictionary she could get her hands on.

01:11:30.260 Watch.

01:11:31.500 We can put so many people to work.

01:11:35.080 We need to refit so many pipes.

01:11:38.020 We need to relay roads.

01:11:39.580 We need to rebuild schools.

01:11:41.120 We need to invent technology that's never even been invented yet.

01:11:45.780 We need to invent technology that's never even been invented yet.

01:11:51.120 Never even been invented.

01:11:53.540 Did you get that?

01:11:54.360 We cannot keep inventing things that have already been invented.

01:11:59.300 That's not the way forward is what AOC is trying to say.

01:12:03.620 No, no, no.

01:12:03.900 We need to invent stuff that's not invented.

01:12:06.860 You see?

01:12:07.460 We can't stay stuck in the past because as AOC herself has warned us, the world is going

01:12:12.660 to end in 12 years anyway.

01:12:14.160 So we really got to keep going.

01:12:15.500 Although admittedly, she's been a little inconsistent on that particular point.

01:12:17.960 Watch.

01:12:19.260 And we're like, the world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change.

01:12:24.200 And your biggest issue.

01:12:25.600 Because as I've said in the House Democratic Caucus, some of us are actually going to

01:12:29.800 have to live on this planet in 50 years.

01:12:32.120 And right now, what happens right now determines how bad it's going to be.

01:12:37.360 And so this is real life.

01:12:39.400 This is serious.

01:12:40.480 And we need to govern like it.

01:12:43.800 So either the world's going to be over in a few years or it'll be around for a long time.

01:12:47.660 Who's to say?

01:12:48.360 That's how scary climate change is.

01:12:49.820 The estimates are constantly changing because the science is always changing.

01:12:52.420 And AOC, as a scientist, understands that very well.

01:12:54.960 So I've gone through all these examples and there are millions more to demonstrate once

01:12:57.780 and for all that AOC is far smarter than any other member of Congress.

01:13:01.300 Certainly far smarter than Elon Musk.

01:13:03.580 What has Elon Musk ever done?

01:13:05.560 Trying to send humans to Mars?

01:13:07.720 What?

01:13:08.780 Like he's not even, like to be real, send them to, send them to a moon of Jupiter if you really

01:13:15.400 want to impress me.

01:13:17.260 Mars?

01:13:19.280 It's another planet?

01:13:20.420 I'd play more clips, but honestly, you'd probably wouldn't understand them.

01:13:25.740 That's because AOC is much more intelligent than any billionaire, especially Elon Musk.

01:13:30.300 Again, an intellectual titan.

01:13:32.480 She does her homework.

01:13:33.760 Any functioning society would happily trade 10,000 Elon Musks for just one AOC.

01:13:38.860 And that is why everyone questioning AOC is extremely high intelligence on the internet

01:13:42.600 after she called Elon Musk an idiot.

01:13:44.540 All of them are today canceled.

01:13:47.460 That'll do it for the show today.

01:13:48.120 Thanks for watching.

01:13:48.640 Thanks for listening.

01:13:49.080 Have a great day.

01:13:50.300 Godspeed.
