00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh show, Joe Biden has terminal cancer. They expect us to believe
00:00:03.680 that he was just diagnosed right after leaving office, but it's clear that he's been sick for
00:00:07.460 a while and they cover it up. This is one of the greatest scandals in the history of American
00:00:10.920 politics. Also, the Supreme Court demands that Trump stop deporting illegal aliens.
00:00:15.480 The media are shocked to learn that despite reports to the contrary, the Pope is in fact
00:00:19.000 Catholic. And a story goes viral of a young man who supposedly swiped right on Tinder two million
00:00:23.700 times and landed only one date. Have things really gotten that bad on the dating scene for men? All
00:00:28.740 of that and more today on the Matt Walsh show.

00:01:32.880 A hallmark of the late Soviet period was that no one actually knew who was running the country.
00:01:38.760 Leonid Brezhnev, who supposedly ordered the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan,
00:01:43.060 could barely speak in public. There was a concerted effort by the Politburo to hide his decline to the
00:01:48.180 extent that they could. By the final few years, it was clear that Brezhnev wasn't actually making any
00:01:52.760 decisions at all. Then, when Brezhnev finally died in 1982, he was replaced with a guy named Yuri
00:01:59.000 Andropov, who, from the moment he took office, was suffering from severe kidney failure that often
00:02:03.880 led to his complete incapacitation. And of course, that fact wasn't disclosed to anybody at the time
00:02:08.800 either. But after Andropov died a little over a year into his term, the Soviets released medical
00:02:13.840 files revealing that he had been on dialysis practically the whole time he was in office.
00:02:17.360 And at that point, Andropov was replaced by someone named Konstantin Chernenko. And you can
00:02:23.140 probably guess how that went. For his part, Chernenko was also suffering from debilitating
00:02:27.280 health problems, including heart failure and emphysema, from the moment he took over. And once
00:02:32.480 again, these problems were hidden, at least until he died while in office after 13 months on the job.
00:02:37.000 And once again, in those 13 months, he spent a lot of his time in the hospital, unable to perform
00:02:41.420 his duties. Yes, the Soviet Union cycled through three mostly unaccountable, incapacitated, sickly
00:02:47.680 leaders in rapid succession, all while hiding their respective conditions from the public.
00:02:52.840 And you don't need to be a student of history to know how that worked out or what happened to
00:02:57.020 the Soviet Union a few years later, everything collapsed. Now, for many years, it's gone without
00:03:02.500 saying that in this country, we don't want to emulate the Soviet model of governance. Instead of
00:03:09.180 being governed by a shadowy Politburo or an unelected bureaucracy of some kind, we've always
00:03:14.340 understood that it's critically important to have a competent, healthy president at the head of the
00:03:18.840 federal government. And that's why members of the cabinet, as well as members of Congress,
00:03:22.360 have a constitutional duty to remove the president if during his term, he becomes incapable of serving.
00:03:27.640 It's also why White House doctors release regular reports about the health of the president.
00:03:32.640 Any effort to subvert this model of transparency, to revert to a Soviet style of governance where nobody
00:03:38.500 knows who's in charge, can only be interpreted in one way. It is an attempt to undermine and
00:03:43.820 ultimately destroy the foundations of this country, just as the Soviet Union was destroyed.
00:03:48.580 And the people responsible for any kind of effort like that should be imprisoned as traitors to this
00:03:53.700 country because that's exactly what they are. During Joe Biden's presidency, we've known for some
00:03:58.460 time that his handlers were hiding some of the most dramatic evidence of his mental decline.
00:04:03.980 As egregious as this cover-up was, it wasn't entirely effective because people could still
00:04:08.940 observe many signs of Joe Biden's decline in public. But what we didn't know until yesterday,
00:04:14.960 as you've heard by now, is that Biden's handlers were also almost certainly hiding another very
00:04:21.200 important piece of information, which is that Joe Biden was suffering from terminal stage four
00:04:25.080 prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, an aggressive cancer that will almost definitely kill
00:04:30.280 him in a matter of years, if not likely sooner than that. In other words, it's the kind of disease
00:04:35.380 that if Joe Biden had been elected in November would lead to Kamala Harris being installed as the
00:04:41.740 president of the United States. And there's very good reason to believe that they hid Joe Biden's
00:04:46.740 diagnosis from the public in an attempt to secure exactly that outcome. It is just impossible to
00:04:52.580 believe. I mean, impossible to believe that Joe Biden went from a perfectly clean bill of health,
00:04:59.180 which his doctors provided in 2024, to having stage four prostate cancer in a matter of six months.
00:05:07.080 That's just not how it works. I mean, pretty much every expert in the field is unanimous on this
00:05:11.900 point. For example, News Nation just spoke to a urologist named David Schusterman. Schusterman pointed out
00:05:17.540 that prostate cancer is typically a slow growing cancer that's easily detectable by using a PSA blood test
00:05:23.260 long before it spreads. And as president, Biden would presumably be receiving these these tests on a
00:05:28.500 regular basis. Watch. Very unlikely that someone could get annual checkups and not notice a PSA
00:05:37.620 elevation over the past, you know. But this is what I typically would see in a VA hospital where a patient
00:05:45.480 hasn't had medical attention in 10 years presents to an emergency room with bone pain. And then they
00:05:53.140 find that it's metastatic prostate cancer. But in the modern age of medicine, especially the fact that
00:06:00.620 he was a former president, he had intensive state of the art, you know, care where we can see prostate
00:06:09.360 cancer, you know, 10 years in the past. So this is I mean, it's it's very unusual to hear that someone
00:06:16.720 has prostate cancer where they're annually being followed up. And the fact that we just find it at
00:06:25.700 a Gleason 9 is just pretty much unheard of in this day and age of medicine, even in the, you know, even in
00:06:33.660 the inner city populations. Well, most likely he had prostate cancer for a long time. And the aggressive
00:06:40.820 prostate cancers such as this at age 80 grows over a long period of time. I mean, usually it takes from the first
00:06:48.700 diagnosis of prostate cancer to the to spread would take five to 10 years, even in the most aggressive form.
00:06:58.020 Um, it's just, to me, it seems very surprising that, uh, it would, the first diagnosis would be a
00:07:06.280 metastatic diagnosis, especially Gleason 9 cancer. Okay. So according to this urologist and pretty much
00:07:14.120 every other doctor we've heard speak about this in the last, uh, you know, 12 to 24 hours, it's pretty
00:07:19.900 much unheard of to get a diagnosis of stage four prostate cancer out of the blue in a situation like
00:07:25.420 this. I mean, even in poor areas without good healthcare, he says, it's the kind of thing that
00:07:30.180 happens when patients don't get regular screenings for many, many years. And then he states that
00:07:35.560 Biden may have had this cancer for a period of five to 10 years before he was in office. And that
00:07:40.020 appears to be the consensus. Um, as Steven Quay, a prominent doctor and scientist put a quote,
00:07:44.640 prostate cancer is the easiest cancer diagnosed when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone
00:07:48.680 metastasis, uh, metastasis. The PSA blood test shows the rate of cancer cell growth for even the most
00:07:54.320 aggressive form. It is a five to seven year journey before without treatment before it becomes
00:07:58.440 metastatic, meaning it would be malpractice for this patient to show up and be first diagnosed
00:08:03.600 with the disease in May, 2025. It's highly likely that he was carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer
00:08:09.200 throughout his white house tenure and the American people were uninformed. And this is so bad by the
00:08:14.700 way that even doctors on MSNBC and CNN are saying the same thing. And in an interview with a Reuters,
00:08:21.420 Dr. Chris George, who serves as the medical director of Northwestern Health Network's
00:08:25.180 cancer program, offered this assessment, quote, I would assume that the former president gets a
00:08:29.200 very thorough physical every year. I would be interested to know what his PSA was the last
00:08:32.920 time it was checked. It's sort of hard for me to believe that he's had a PSA within the past year
00:08:37.080 that was normal. It's possible. It's possible, but that would surprise me. Usually prostate cancer
00:08:41.940 doesn't, you know, go full throttle like this too often. When it does, that's usually a bad,
00:08:45.640 bad sign. That's an aggressive cancer for sure, but it does seem odd to me.
00:08:49.380 Now, this is as close as you'll get to a doctor who is willing to entertain the official narrative,
00:08:57.820 or at least say that it's plausible. But even he thinks that it's, you know, highly unlikely
00:09:03.400 because they would have been checking Biden's PSA levels. And he's wondering what they were.
00:09:09.060 Here's the problem. If you go back and pull up Biden's medical reports, you won't see anything
00:09:12.880 about his PSA levels. And at the moment, we have no indication of whether they were checking his PSA
00:09:17.800 levels at all. In 2019, Biden's doctors reported that he had an enlarged prostate, but he had no
00:09:23.140 cancer. So you'd think that, you know, that would trigger some extra urgency for regular PSA screenings.
00:09:30.520 But apparently not. We're supposed to believe that they didn't do any screenings at all.
00:09:35.700 For a guy in his late seventies, eighties, who has an enlarged prostate, they're doing regular
00:09:40.160 screenings. And they're doing the physicals for the presidents precisely because they want to find
00:09:45.860 out if he has anything like a fatal disease. And so we're supposed to believe that a PSA blood test
00:09:52.480 was not part of that at any point. Then in 2024, Biden's physician reported that he was, quote,
00:09:59.620 a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male who remains fit to successfully execute the duties
00:10:04.640 of the presidency. But again, nothing about his PSA levels. There's also nothing in the reports to
00:10:10.540 indicate that he was being treated in any way for cancer. At the same time, CNN just interviewed a
00:10:15.560 doctor who stated that when prostate cancer is being treated, symptoms can include cognitive
00:10:20.760 impairment and fatigue, which are both symptoms that Joe Biden obviously displayed during the
00:10:25.140 campaign. Watch. He's 82. How would that dictate how he and his medical team make a decision about the
00:10:35.220 treatment options? I think, I think he's not my patient, but if I had a patient like him with all
00:10:41.720 the medical stuff that he has, including whether it's the physical or the mental, you know, you
00:10:47.320 really have to take that into account because all these treatments do have potential side effects.
00:10:52.180 One of the biggest side effects that I see in my patients that get these hormone treatments
00:10:57.300 could be cognitive changes. So you have to kind of balance that.
00:11:01.240 People can also get issues with fatigue and weight loss.
00:11:06.600 Now, the urologist we showed earlier, Dr. Schusterman, said the same thing in his interview with News
00:11:10.900 Nation. These treatments can cause cognitive impairments. So that raises some more questions.
00:11:15.040 Do we know that Joe Biden was receiving any of these cancer treatments that fried his brain and
00:11:20.720 made him so tired that according to his own aides, he wasn't able to function after dark?
00:11:25.120 At the moment, we don't. But we also don't have any reason to believe Biden's handlers when they say
00:11:29.820 he wasn't taking these treatments, especially given all their other lies and given his behavior
00:11:33.540 while in office. In fact, we cannot believe anything that anyone close to Biden says about
00:11:38.820 anything at all, particularly anything related to his health. They just can't believe a word they
00:11:43.680 say because we already know that they lied. And if they lied about this, which they almost certainly
00:11:49.920 did, that really would be the scandal of the century. I mean, imagine if it turned out that Joe Biden
00:11:54.800 was senile in part because they were treating him for terminal cancer that they didn't disclose.
00:12:01.880 I mean, at this point, you can't put it past any of these people. Now, it's impossible to ignore the
00:12:07.480 fact that they're floating this possibility on CNN just a couple of days before the release of
00:12:13.360 Jake Tapper's new book, which goes in depth about Joe Biden's cognitive decline. And that presents yet
00:12:20.020 another reason to doubt the official narrative, which is that Biden's cancer was suddenly discovered
00:12:23.900 this week. I mean, it looks a lot like they're releasing this diagnosis in order to change the
00:12:28.420 subject and garner sympathy for Biden. In fact, David Axelrod has just come out and basically said that
00:12:34.720 watch his medical condition. Now he's announced medical condition. Now, do you believe that
00:12:40.880 silences or delays a lot of conversations about his, you know, last year and a half of his presidency
00:12:51.680 for now? Yeah, well, I mean, I think those conversations are going to happen, but they
00:12:59.620 should be more muted and set aside for now as he's struggling through this.
00:13:08.640 So that is the very thinly veiled command. He's essentially saying, now that we've told you that
00:13:14.140 Joe Biden is dying, please stop talking about how we covered up his mental decline as well as his cancer.
00:13:18.720 And of course, CNN and other networks will follow David Axelrod's command. So to be clear,
00:13:26.580 you know, saving the news of Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis for two days before the book release
00:13:32.260 in order to change the subject and garner sympathy is just diabolical. I mean, I've never seen anything
00:13:39.840 so cynical in my life, but that is clearly what they're doing. They waited for right now so they
00:13:47.340 could say, oh, well, you would say all this about a dying man. He's dying after all.
00:13:54.100 In order to believe the official narrative, we have to believe not just one coincidence,
00:13:58.680 but we have to believe in a whole succession of the wildest coincidences we've ever seen.
00:14:05.100 And there's no reason to believe that.
00:14:09.380 You know, they'd rather you don't pay any attention to all the evidence that they lied
00:14:14.620 and deceived the public for several years in one of the greatest scandals of American history.
00:14:21.160 Watch.
00:14:22.280 I can testify because I've been working very closely with this president for the past two years.
00:14:26.400 I've been knowing him for 30 years. And I'm telling you, this guy's tough.
00:14:29.700 He's smart. He's on his game.
00:14:31.580 Joe Biden has vision. He has knowledge.
00:14:33.860 He has a strategic thinker.
00:14:37.080 The president is focused. He's detail oriented. He's always thinking about the big picture.
00:14:43.340 He's engaging. He is capable. He has an incredible record as president.
00:14:47.920 Start your tape right now because I'm about to tell you the truth.
00:14:51.840 And F you if you can't handle the truth.
00:14:54.280 This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.
00:15:04.580 Not a close second. And I've known him for years.
00:15:07.400 The Brzezinski's have known him for 50 years.
00:15:09.820 If it weren't the truth, I wouldn't say it.
00:15:12.500 You did such a great job. You answered every question.
00:15:15.920 You knew all the best.
00:15:17.340 Undisputed winner of the worst wife in America contest, by the way, is Jill Biden.
00:15:34.720 We saw at the end of the clip there. Undisputed winner.
00:15:38.000 I mean, Meghan Markle is a distant, distant second at this point.
00:15:40.840 And Michelle Obama was, you know, left out of the competition for eligibility issues.
00:15:49.240 Anyway, they don't want you to asking any questions about any of this.
00:15:52.580 They genuinely believe that now that they've told us Joe Biden has cancer, that all this will go away.
00:15:57.560 And we'll stop asking. We'll stop asking, you know, how Joe Scarborough could have claimed that the best version of Biden,
00:16:04.460 the best version of Biden was when he had terminal cancer and dementia.
00:16:08.040 That was his best version, according to Joe Scarborough.
00:16:11.640 But it won't go away.
00:16:14.620 Instead, it's just become a much more serious crisis, in fact.
00:16:17.600 I mean, at this point, there are several questions that need to be answered immediately.
00:16:21.280 First, when was Joe Biden actually diagnosed with cancer?
00:16:26.780 Was he treated in any way for prostate cancer at any time while he was in office?
00:16:31.860 If so, who knew about these treatments and participated in the cover-up?
00:16:35.300 And, you know, did they secretly treat him or did they not treat him because the only way to keep it hidden was to do nothing about it?
00:16:46.800 Or did they want the disease to kill him quickly after his re-election so that Kamala could take over?
00:16:52.080 Did Joe Biden even know that he had cancer?
00:16:54.900 Was it hidden from him?
00:16:56.220 I mean, all of these options are on the table now.
00:16:59.540 And we are well past the point where we can take any Democrat's word for any of this.
00:17:06.420 I mean, cable news hits on CNN are not sufficient.
00:17:08.700 At this point, we need Congress to step up and actually do something for a change.
00:17:13.020 We need full congressional investigations into this cover-up.
00:17:16.340 Put everybody under oath.
00:17:18.140 Every staffer.
00:17:19.180 Every official.
00:17:20.220 Jill Biden.
00:17:21.020 His doctors.
00:17:21.920 Everyone.
00:17:22.180 Whatever the case, it's now clear that their plan to engineer the first female president was to push through a cancer-riddled dementia patient,
00:17:33.920 get him re-elected by any means necessary, let him die, and then have her take over.
00:17:40.040 I mean, that is undeniable at this point.
00:17:41.560 That was the plan.
00:17:42.180 It's the most ruthless, cold-blooded plot we've ever seen in American politics.
00:17:47.540 These people are, they're demons.
00:17:50.280 They really are.
00:17:50.900 And like their counterparts in the final days of the Soviet Union,
00:17:55.240 they obscured vital information that every American is entitled to.
00:18:00.000 In fact, the free press reports that, quote,
00:18:01.860 administration staffers referred to Biden's close-knit team of top advisors as the Politburo.
00:18:08.220 So they knew what they were doing.
00:18:10.260 They knew they were acting like Soviet puppet masters.
00:18:13.360 And they're still doing it.
00:18:15.340 They're refusing to answer the ultimate question.
00:18:17.500 The ultimate question that we simply must have an answer to after all the other ones, which is this.
00:18:23.060 Who was actually running the country for the past four years?
00:18:27.040 Because whoever it was, it wasn't Joe Biden.
00:18:29.880 And whoever it was, those people are still out there.
00:18:35.080 Some of them may be in government right now.
00:18:37.380 And if not, they're certainly planning to return to power soon.
00:18:40.940 And before that happens, every single one of them must be identified and prosecuted and imprisoned like the traitors to this country that they are.

00:20:21.980 Okay, this was going to be the lead story today, the monologue, but there's just too much going on, so it ends up here.
00:20:29.740 Daily Wire reports, the Supreme Court on Friday ruled 7-2 against the Trump administration's attempt to swiftly deport Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act,
00:20:38.320 requiring officials to provide more than 24 hours for detainees to challenge their removal.
00:20:42.040 Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal,
00:20:51.020 surely does not pass muster, the majority wrote.
00:20:54.260 The unsigned decision clarified that the court was only ruling on the notice requirement and not whether the Trump administration can use the Alien Enemies Act itself.
00:21:02.860 The court stated, to be clear, we decide today only that the detainees are entitled to more notice than was given on April 18th.
00:21:09.500 So, this is supposed to put a stop to Trump's deportation efforts.
00:21:15.260 That's the idea anyway.
00:21:17.400 And this is completely bogus.
00:21:21.320 It's illegitimate.
00:21:22.100 It's ridiculous.
00:21:23.360 Trump should ignore it.
00:21:25.220 That's the only answer.
00:21:26.220 The Supreme Court doesn't have the authority to tell the president that he can't deport illegal aliens.
00:21:31.460 They don't have the authority to set up, to set policy on, you know, on how that is carried out.
00:21:37.540 They don't have any authority to do that.
00:21:40.300 I mean, it's nice that they've given their opinion.
00:21:43.040 So, the Supreme Court has given their personal opinion that they think, you know, if you're going to deport an illegal alien, they should get more than 24 hours notice.
00:21:52.080 That's their personal opinion.
00:21:54.600 Thanks for letting us know, guys.
00:21:56.060 Really interesting.
00:21:57.080 I'm glad you chimed in.
00:21:59.160 Really interesting opinion.
00:22:00.540 Thanks for that.
00:22:01.500 Anyway, let's get back to deporting the illegal aliens.
00:22:04.400 Like, that has to be the answer.
00:22:07.500 Because they don't have the authority, so Trump should just ignore them.
00:22:10.320 And what are they going to do about it?
00:22:12.800 What are they going to do about it?
00:22:14.320 There's no enforcement mechanism.
00:22:15.860 They can't compel him to do anything.
00:22:17.900 So, ignore them.
00:22:18.740 And where does that lead?
00:22:22.960 What happens?
00:22:23.500 I don't know.
00:22:24.280 But this comes to a head.
00:22:25.700 It's time for this to come to a head.
00:22:26.900 The judicial branch thinks that it can usurp the authority of the executive branch.
00:22:30.840 And the only way to put a check on this madness, the only way to shut down this power grab by the judicial branch, is to disregard them and dare them to try and do anything about it.
00:22:42.080 It's the only way.
00:22:43.660 And also, just on this due process thing for a moment.
00:22:47.480 You know, the Supreme Court is concerned about the due process rights of illegal aliens.
00:22:52.860 And this is what we hear all the time now from the left about the due process.
00:22:57.360 First of all, illegal aliens have no legal rights in this country at all.
00:23:04.460 They're not citizens.
00:23:06.720 The Constitution does not cover them.
00:23:09.440 The Constitution of the United States of America is for the United States of America.
00:23:13.280 It's not for the entire world.
00:23:16.300 The Constitution doesn't apply to every far-flung corner of the planet.
00:23:22.420 It's for Americans.
00:23:24.280 And also, this concept of due process, you know, the way that we talk about it, you would think that rather than due process, that it's the process, right?
00:23:38.260 Like, we talk about it as if there's the process.
00:23:40.840 There's a process, and there's only one process.
00:23:43.760 It's inscribed in stone.
00:23:45.300 And that process is universally applied to everybody, regardless of whether they're citizens or not.
00:23:51.260 But that's not the case.
00:23:53.260 Even for American citizens, that's not the case.
00:23:55.600 Due process means, not to be, you know, redundant, but due process means the process that is due.
00:24:06.180 So, the opposite of due process would be an undue process.
00:24:11.840 If somebody's not getting due process, it means they're getting an undue process.
00:24:15.160 Illegal aliens have, for decades in this country, been getting an undue process.
00:24:19.680 And the process has been that, essentially, they get to sneak across the border and stay here.
00:24:27.160 You know, that's been the process.
00:24:28.680 That is an undue process.
00:24:30.060 So, I do believe in due process for illegal aliens.
00:24:37.520 I don't believe in an undue process.
00:24:39.340 I think, yes, I believe in due process.
00:24:40.980 And the process is this.
00:24:42.120 We capture you.
00:24:43.860 That's step one.
00:24:45.940 Step two in the process is we confirm that you're here illegally.
00:24:49.200 And then step three is we expel you from the country.
00:24:52.060 That's it.
00:24:53.620 That's the whole process.
00:24:55.220 There is no other process that is due to these people.
00:25:00.060 So, giving them a chance to appeal and explain why they really want to stay in the country and how terrible things are back home and how whatever, that's not part of the process.
00:25:14.300 That should not be part of the process.
00:25:16.020 The only process is you came here illegally.
00:25:19.360 We're going to confirm that that's the case, that you're here illegally.
00:25:21.840 You're not actually a citizen.
00:25:23.080 And then you're gone.
00:25:25.460 That's it.
00:25:26.040 And, by the way, confirming that you're here illegally is not a complicated step.
00:25:32.000 If you're here legally, if you're a legal citizen, there is tons of documentation to prove it.
00:25:39.340 And even if you don't have that documentation somehow, then if you don't have it on you, if somehow you can't...
00:25:47.160 I mean, almost any of us as legal citizens, if we were asked to provide some physical documentation to show that we're legal citizens, we have ample, plenty that we could provide.
00:25:59.380 But if you're a legal citizen and even if somehow, you know, your house was burned down and all of your documents, everything in your life was burned and you lost all of it, you could still easily prove that you're a legal citizen.
00:26:14.740 I mean, you're going to be in, like, 20 different government databases proving that you're a legal citizen.
00:26:21.080 It's not hard to do.
00:26:24.360 So if you don't have documentation, if there's no documentation either physically on you or in any database proving that you're a legal citizen, then you're here illegally.
00:26:34.080 Now, of course, I tweeted this over the weekend and all these idiot leftists, including Keith Olbermann, responded like they had this great dunk and they said, yeah, well, you know, confirming, confirming that they're here illegally is what this is all about, you moron.
00:26:49.640 You know, under Trump's system, even you could be deported.
00:26:52.780 How would you like that if they don't have to confirm?
00:26:54.960 So next thing I know, you're going to be deported.
00:26:59.080 That's what Keith Olbermann said, paraphrasing slightly.
00:27:01.780 Because, right, Keith, if we deport illegal aliens, the next thing you know, they'll be deporting legal citizens who've been here for generations.
00:27:12.300 Like, OK, you know what?
00:27:14.020 I'll take my chances.
00:27:17.040 Where would they even deport me to?
00:27:19.560 Where are they going to send me?
00:27:20.540 Ireland?
00:27:20.820 Ireland?
00:27:22.100 I mean, so the idea is if we deport, if we deport an illegal alien who arrived here from Honduras last week, then there's nothing stopping them from also deporting me to my ancestral homeland where my distant relatives lived generations ago.
00:27:40.000 Is that the idea?
00:27:42.580 Really?
00:27:43.180 I mean, that's like saying it's like saying that the laws against bank robbery would mean that, like, if we enforce the law against bank robbery, it would also mean that if you go to the bank with a withdrawal slip to legally withdraw money from your checking account, that you might also go to jail for bank robbery.
00:28:03.740 It's like claiming that there's no way to distinguish easily between those two scenarios because they're both scenarios where someone's taking money from a bank.
00:28:11.720 If we have a law against bank robbery, it means that we're just going to put everybody in jail.
00:28:15.000 There's no way to know.
00:28:15.920 How could we possibly know?
00:28:17.220 How could you possibly distinguish?
00:28:22.200 It's absurd.
00:28:23.440 I mean, it's obviously clear that confirming someone's illegal status isn't difficult.
00:28:28.440 It takes two seconds.
00:28:29.940 They're either here legally or not.
00:28:32.800 And if you're not, you got to go.
00:28:36.960 There's not any legal citizen.
00:28:38.900 I got news for you.
00:28:39.700 There's not any legal citizen in this country that the government is unaware of.
00:28:44.740 I mean, maybe if it's illegal, it's like a baby that was just born three days ago.
00:28:51.040 That might be one the government hasn't quite, isn't quite aware.
00:28:55.060 But even then, they probably know.
00:28:57.740 But if you're a legal citizen, especially an adult, like the government knows you.
00:29:03.180 They want to get their tax money.
00:29:05.440 You got a social security number.
00:29:06.600 I mean, they know who you are, and they know where you are, and they know a lot about you.
00:29:11.160 So this idea that it's complicated, it's so hard.
00:29:16.740 How can you distinguish between a 65-year-old retiree in Cincinnati whose family has lived in Ohio for 95 years?
00:29:30.700 How can you distinguish between that and a guy from Guatemala who just came here, just ran across the desert three days ago, and doesn't speak English?
00:29:43.720 Like, there's no way.
00:29:46.020 How do we know?
00:29:46.860 How do we know between those two who's the legal citizen and who isn't?
00:29:49.720 It's so hard.
00:29:50.580 It's difficult.
00:29:51.260 It takes, it'll take, I mean, there's no way.
00:29:53.780 You need years of court cases to figure out the difference between those two.
00:29:59.580 It's just absurd, the whole thing.
00:30:03.240 And it's all about, as we know, you know, they're not, they don't care about due process or putting a process in place.
00:30:09.000 What they want is, they're trying to throw roadblocks into the middle of the process.
00:30:13.940 They want to prevent the process.
00:30:15.520 They want to sabotage a process, not, you know, in-state one.
00:30:20.920 NBC News reports on a breaking news story.
00:30:24.880 Apparently, the Pope is, it turns out, Catholic.
00:30:28.120 This is the news.
00:30:29.280 Here's the headline.
00:30:30.720 Pope Leo XIV affirms family is based on union between a man and a woman.
00:30:35.200 Unborn have inherent dignity.
00:30:37.160 That's the headline from NBC News.
00:30:41.120 Actually, it is shocking.
00:30:42.440 The shocking thing about the headline is that this is an NBC News headline, and it uses the term unborn instead of fetus.
00:30:48.780 And it's generally respectful to Catholic teaching.
00:30:51.840 I don't know how this headline made it past the editors.
00:30:54.080 I don't know what's going on over there.
00:30:56.160 Somebody's getting fired for this.
00:30:57.300 I can tell you that.
00:31:00.580 I mean, listen to that.
00:31:01.960 This is NBC News.
00:31:03.380 Pope Leo XIV affirms family is based on union between a man and a woman.
00:31:08.840 Unborn have inherent dignity.
00:31:12.480 Like, the NBC News version of that headline is supposed to be something like, you know, Pope Leo XIV confirms bigotry against LGBT community while launching attack against reproductive rights.
00:31:22.820 That's how NBC is supposed to report on that.
00:31:25.980 So, I don't know what's going on there, but, you know, baffling, but in a good way.
00:31:32.400 Now, on to the articles.
00:31:34.420 Pope Leo XIV affirmed Friday that the family is founded on the stable union between a man and a woman, and that the unborn and elderly enjoy dignity as God's creatures, articulating clear Catholic teaching on marriage and abortion at the start of his pontificate.
00:31:47.280 Leo, the first American pope, has also called for reviving multilateral diplomacy and promoting dialogue between religions and the search for peace.
00:31:54.560 In his first meeting with the Vatican diplomatic corps, it was up to governments to build peaceful societies, above all by investing in the family founded upon the stable union between a man and a woman.
00:32:05.500 In addition, no one is exempted from striving to ensure respect for the dignity of every person, especially the most frail and vulnerable, from the unborn to the elderly, from the sick to the unemployed, citizens and immigrants alike.
00:32:14.840 So, there you go.
00:32:18.760 Turns out the pope is Catholic.
00:32:21.000 And this is why I said to be really wary of anybody claiming, as, you know, when the pope was elected by the cardinals a couple weeks ago, you had all these, a lot of people on the right claiming the pope is some kind of woke leftist.
00:32:33.500 And that's why I said at the time to be very wary of that, because, yeah, he may be kind of liberal on immigration, but he's also going to be staunchly opposed to gay marriage and abortion at every stage.
00:32:49.040 And it's just not possible for somebody to be, to hold those views and still be a leftist.
00:32:56.180 That doesn't exist.
00:32:57.400 There's no such thing as a leftist who is pro-life and anti-gay marriage.
00:33:01.820 It doesn't exist.
00:33:03.340 By definition, if you hold those views, you're not a leftist.
00:33:06.780 Even if you're kind of liberal on other issues, even if you're liberal on other important issues, you cannot be a leftist and hold those views.
00:33:14.080 Now, on the other hand, it is, it's possible.
00:33:16.680 I mean, it's unlikely, but you don't encounter this very often, but it is, it would be possible for a leftist to also be anti-illegal immigration.
00:33:25.520 Unlikely, it's rare, but it's, it, it would not be like incoherent necessarily for someone to say, yeah, I think we should shut down the border.
00:33:34.940 But also I think that, you know, marriage is whatever I want it to be.
00:33:39.140 And, uh, we should be able to kill babies up until, you know, up until the moment of birth.
00:33:45.040 And if you hold that view, even though you have a conservative view on immigration and on the border, you are still fundamentally a leftist.
00:33:51.920 If you want to dismantle the nuclear family, if you reject the inherent dignity of human life, that is wokeness.
00:34:00.260 That's what wokeness is.
00:34:01.460 So it is incoherent to call somebody woke if they uphold the dignity of human life and they uphold the sanctity of marriage and the family.
00:34:07.960 Which is why, as I said, when Pope Leo was first elected, many of the right-wingers attacking him and calling him woke are far woker than he is.
00:34:17.540 I mean, he is far, far to the right of many of them because many of them support abortion up to a point and they support gay marriage.
00:34:27.840 Those are now common positions for so-called conservatives.
00:34:31.340 And, um, you know, uh, so you're, you're, you are far to the left of Pope Leo and also Pope Francis, by the way, for all the talk of how he was a liberal Pope.
00:34:45.960 And he was, he's actually much more conservative than the majority of conservatives that were complaining about the fact that he's liberal.
00:34:54.820 Because, because a large number of those conservatives will support gay marriage, support abortion.
00:35:00.780 And those are, those are the, those are the leftist sacraments.
00:35:05.080 So if you're on board with the left on those issues, you're on the left.
00:35:07.880 Hate to tell you, you just are.
00:35:09.100 And, uh, you know, I'm not saying that we can't find common ground with so-called conservatives who have these liberal social views.
00:35:16.420 We can work together to advocate for stronger borders and all that kind of stuff.
00:35:19.280 We're on the same page on issues like crime and all that is good.
00:35:21.740 But, um, you, you are fundamentally on their side.
00:35:25.000 You, you, and, and you're certainly in no position to run around questioning anyone else's conservative bona fides.
00:35:30.100 Uh, because you've accepted the left's two central and most extreme and most damaging tenets.
00:35:38.520 And if you've done that, then, um, then, you know, the wokeness is coming from inside the house.
00:35:44.960 Let's just say.
00:35:46.200 Okay.
00:35:46.660 Here's another, uh, let's, uh, play this a little bit, something a little bit lighter.
00:35:51.520 Another, another fun so-called Karen video.
00:35:55.780 Um, now, you know, this, this genre, we've talked about it many times before.
00:35:58.940 Somebody records a video of themselves being reprimanded by a so-called Karen and everybody laughs and mocks the Karen.
00:36:06.080 And we all agree that Karens are horrible monsters.
00:36:10.460 Um, even though the quote unquote Karen is actually entirely in the right most of the time.
00:36:16.440 So I'm going to play this latest video.
00:36:18.220 I won't go into my whole speech about how Karen is a racial slur.
00:36:20.880 It is, you know, my take on that, uh, it is a slur invented by non-white people to demean white women.
00:36:28.560 So that's the genesis of the term.
00:36:30.020 It is a racial slur.
00:36:31.740 Uh, you know, if we say N word, we should be saying K word because they're both slurs.
00:36:35.440 They're both slurs.
00:36:36.080 They're both racial slurs.
00:36:37.480 That's what they are.
00:36:39.160 Um, but anyway, in this video, so there's a, just the setup, there's a guy on an e-bike
00:36:45.260 on like a motorized bike and he's being followed by a woman on a normal bike.
00:36:50.880 Who scolds him for using his motorized bike on the bike trails, which is not allowed.
00:36:57.260 And then this video ended up on the internet.
00:36:59.280 And of course, almost everybody is all agreeing that this woman, what a horrible Karen and blah, blah, blah.
00:37:05.520 Uh, but let's watch the video.
00:37:07.140 Is that a full e-bike?
00:37:27.920 Yeah.
00:37:29.000 You know whether you're not allowed on the bike trails on full motorized vehicles, these
00:37:32.880 can't be on the bike paths.
00:37:34.880 Uh-huh.
00:37:35.420 You have to bike on the street because they go like 35 miles an hour.
00:37:38.460 I used to go 25 miles an hour.
00:37:40.360 Yeah, you're not allowed on the bike trails on a full electric bike.
00:37:43.280 There's signs all over.
00:37:44.260 And you people piss me off because the guy came up this far from me, almost took me off.
00:37:49.040 I would either have been in the hospital or...
00:37:50.800 No, I'm sorry.
00:37:51.600 I was trying to tell you I was behind you.
00:37:53.580 Yeah, you need to stay on the streets because you're not allowed on the path.
00:37:57.020 Sorry, I don't mean to...
00:37:58.420 You know what?
00:37:59.260 Okay, so there's a few things here.
00:38:09.740 It's funny.
00:38:10.860 I'll never understand these people who have some interaction in public where they cower
00:38:16.860 like little pathetic wimps and then they post it for the whole world to see so everyone
00:38:21.120 can see what a pansy they are.
00:38:23.540 Like this woman came right up to you.
00:38:26.880 She confronted you directly.
00:38:28.000 She had an issue with something you were doing.
00:38:30.260 She told you about it.
00:38:31.600 Okay, she was an adult about it.
00:38:33.800 She wasn't screaming.
00:38:35.020 She wasn't being belligerent.
00:38:36.680 She didn't film you.
00:38:37.880 She didn't try to publicly shame you.
00:38:39.220 She didn't call the cops.
00:38:40.720 She just came up to you, man to man or man to woman in this case, and told you what she
00:38:46.460 wanted to tell you.
00:38:47.840 And if you really thought she was being unreasonable, you could have told her that to her face.
00:38:52.760 Instead, you back down and then put your little snide comeback in the caption of the video
00:38:57.380 and then post it, right?
00:38:59.020 If you're listening to the audio podcast, you couldn't see it.
00:39:02.120 But she confronts him.
00:39:04.240 He says, oh, I'm sorry.
00:39:05.460 I said, sorry about that.
00:39:06.520 And then he rides away.
00:39:08.400 And then up on the screen in a caption that he put on later when he was editing the video,
00:39:12.380 it says, you know, shut the F up, Karen.
00:39:15.260 He didn't say that to her face, did he?
00:39:17.600 Right?
00:39:17.920 He said it later in the video.
00:39:20.740 I'll get her back.
00:39:22.040 I'll show her.
00:39:22.780 And he puts a little caption on his video.
00:39:26.580 So even if I thought that she was wrong, which I don't, I'd still take her side because you're
00:39:31.180 a weak little punk.
00:39:32.960 You are a weak little punk running to the internet for backup because you're too much of a to speak
00:39:38.000 up for yourself in person.
00:39:39.060 I'm so tired of people that do this.
00:39:40.660 You know, if that happened to me, like if somebody started scolding me in public and I
00:39:45.660 cowered and stammered and said, um, oh yeah.
00:39:48.400 Okay.
00:39:48.900 I'm sorry.
00:39:49.560 Oh, sorry about that.
00:39:51.400 I would simply not ever post that video on the internet.
00:39:55.140 I would never, I would never say, hey guys, look at me being a little over here.
00:39:59.020 Did you get a load of this, get a load of this, this, this woman talked to me.
00:40:02.660 And I just, and I, and I, and I was terrified and I stammered and stuttered and, and ran away.
00:40:08.360 Look, everybody, check it out.
00:40:10.100 I would never do that.
00:40:12.240 Um, I would, we would never speak of that encounter ever.
00:40:15.180 It would never be, I wouldn't tell a single person.
00:40:16.900 I wouldn't tell a single soul.
00:40:17.660 I wouldn't tell my wife.
00:40:18.340 I wouldn't tell anybody.
00:40:19.780 Um, it would die.
00:40:20.780 It would go with me to the grave.
00:40:22.160 And yet, and yet these guys, they put it on the internet and, and that, that's why the,
00:40:29.720 you know, the, the, the quote unquote Karens, uh, this is why I defend them because they
00:40:34.520 have the gumption.
00:40:35.380 They have the guts to actually just come up to you face to face and tell you what they think.
00:40:40.400 They aren't filming you.
00:40:41.640 They aren't, you know, running to Twitter to make fun of you after you're long gone.
00:40:46.820 They're just coming to you up to you in person as a human being, like people used to do.
00:40:51.200 And just telling you like, look, here's what you did.
00:40:53.980 I think it was the wrong thing to do.
00:40:54.880 I just want you to know that I respect that.
00:40:57.580 I respect people who would just speak up and say what they need to say.
00:40:59.960 I just don't, I don't understand how twisted your mind has to be when you see a video like
00:41:04.120 this and you side with the, with the weak, weak ass little punk who was number one, breaking
00:41:08.740 the rules.
00:41:09.180 And number two is running to the internet to, to get back up rather than manning up and
00:41:15.900 speaking up for himself.
00:41:16.980 If he really thinks he was in the right.
00:41:20.580 Also in this case, as usual, the so-called Karen is right.
00:41:24.700 Motorized bikes aren't allowed on the bike trail.
00:41:26.580 It's not like an unreasonable rule.
00:41:28.340 That's, there's a reason for that.
00:41:30.440 Right.
00:41:30.900 And I'm not one to speak up for cyclists very often.
00:41:33.180 Okay.
00:41:33.300 You know how I feel about cyclists, but in this case, she's right.
00:41:38.880 That's the rule.
00:41:40.440 And this guy ignored the rule because he's an entitled jerk who thinks he should be able
00:41:43.920 to do whatever he wants.
00:41:45.340 And, uh, and yet somehow this detail is always over overlooked and ignored in these so-called
00:41:50.900 Karen videos, right?
00:41:52.900 It's always somebody whining saying, oh, oh, this Karen yelled at me and said I was doing
00:41:57.340 the wrong thing.
00:41:58.900 Come on, internet.
00:41:59.980 Let's come on.
00:42:02.080 Right.
00:42:02.500 Let's have my back on this.
00:42:05.620 And somehow nobody ever asks the obvious follow-up question, which is, okay.
00:42:10.860 She yelled at you and said, you're doing the wrong thing.
00:42:13.040 Were you, were you doing the wrong thing?
00:42:16.220 How is that not the most, the most relevant question to ask here?
00:42:22.980 Will it work?
00:42:24.040 Instead, all these morons are like, she should just mind her own business.
00:42:27.300 You idiots.
00:42:28.440 What was, was he breaking the rule or not?
00:42:31.760 But he was because if you were breaking the rule, then how are you not in the wrong here?
00:42:37.520 I mean, what exactly is your claim?
00:42:39.860 Are you saying that you were doing the wrong thing, but this woman somehow has what, a moral
00:42:47.560 obligation to just let you do it without comment?
00:42:50.340 Is that what you think?
00:42:52.000 All these people that say, oh, people just need to mind their own business.
00:42:54.860 So what you're saying, what you're saying is that you, that, that everybody else has a moral
00:42:59.580 obligation to just let you do whatever the hell you want.
00:43:03.060 That's what you're saying.
00:43:03.860 Sure, motorized bikes aren't allowed on the trail and here you are with a motorized bike
00:43:09.020 on the trail and we're all supposed to just accept that because why, why are we supposed
00:43:15.180 to accept that?
00:43:16.060 Why are you allowed to magically break this rule that everyone else is following?
00:43:19.860 What makes you so special?
00:43:22.640 Um, you know, you're such a precious little angel that, that everybody is just, yeah, yeah,
00:43:27.360 I know this is the rule.
00:43:28.200 There's a million signs.
00:43:29.240 I'm going to ride right past those signs doing the opposite of what the sign says because
00:43:32.780 I feel like it.
00:43:33.860 Um, no, that's not how it works.
00:43:37.760 You know, that's not how it works.
00:43:39.460 And, um, and if there are a million signs saying no, no motorized bikes on the trail and this
00:43:46.500 guy says, well, I'm just going to do it anyway.
00:43:48.320 Well, that makes him wrong.
00:43:50.240 That makes him wrong.
00:43:52.240 And, uh, Karen wins again.
00:43:54.840 This, this is why we need the so-called Karens who, who, who, who, you know what they
00:44:00.160 actually are.
00:44:00.740 You know what the, the quote unquote Karen.
00:44:02.700 You know what they are?
00:44:04.740 They're moms.
00:44:05.920 Like this is, they're actually, this is what, this is how moms are supposed to be.
00:44:11.300 Like that's, that's what a mom does.
00:44:13.260 That's, that, that's the role.
00:44:14.660 It's one of the roles that moms fill in society.
00:44:19.040 Right?
00:44:19.460 It's, it's always, of course it's going to be, it's like, it's not, it's probably not
00:44:22.220 going to be a dad with a rule.
00:44:23.620 Like it's an, it is, it's a rule.
00:44:25.060 Okay.
00:44:25.340 First of all, it's a rule.
00:44:26.460 The rule is there.
00:44:27.220 It's a legitimate rule.
00:44:28.820 Uh, no motorized bikes on the trail.
00:44:30.640 It's a legit, it's a rule.
00:44:31.700 It's legitimate.
00:44:32.740 There is a reason for it.
00:44:33.960 There's a safety reason for it in that these bikes go too fast for, you know, for, for a
00:44:39.300 trail that was not made for those kinds of bikes.
00:44:40.960 Um, but men like dads, right?
00:44:46.460 The, the dad thing is you're probably not gonna, you're just like, ah, whatever, you
00:44:49.920 know, um, uh, they're fine.
00:44:52.240 It's a, this is the, the, the eternal argument between moms and dads.
00:44:56.720 It's like, the mom is like, look, he's on the trail.
00:44:58.540 He's not supposed to be nice.
00:44:59.720 Fine.
00:44:59.820 It's probably fine.
00:45:00.620 It's whatever.
00:45:01.200 Who cares?
00:45:01.700 You know, that's the dad approach, but the mom says, no, this isn't right.
00:45:05.800 We, the, the, the rule is right there.
00:45:07.780 You can't break the rule.
00:45:08.800 And, um, and there's always a little bit of tension there, but you need that.
00:45:15.160 You need that.
00:45:16.340 And you need that in society.
00:45:18.920 Um, and you need these women, these moms who are just gonna, you know, they're, they're
00:45:23.500 not okay with you breaking the rule.
00:45:24.700 The rule's there for a reason.
00:45:26.220 They're not gonna let you break it.
00:45:28.100 And why are they enforcing the rule?
00:45:29.720 Just because it's the rule.
00:45:31.220 That's the only reason.
00:45:32.140 And you need people in society who care about the rules simply because it is a rule.
00:45:36.360 Let me tell you something.
00:45:39.240 We, we, we, we, you shout down all these people, you shame them and, and you, you, you make
00:45:44.020 them go away.
00:45:44.900 Um, then what do you, what would you rather have?
00:45:47.980 Would you rather have a society that's run by the weak little on the bike, breaking the
00:45:54.080 rules, doesn't even have the guts to speak up for himself.
00:45:56.140 Like, who do you want?
00:45:56.980 Who do you want?
00:45:59.600 Who do you want to have a greater influence on society?
00:46:01.800 That guy or, you know, the, the, the woman, the mom who cares about the rules.
00:46:09.020 Well, if you want a civilized, well-ordered society, then it should be the latter is what
00:46:14.000 I'm going to tell you.
00:46:14.900 All right, let's get to the, uh, comment section.
00:46:17.580 If you're a man, it's required that you grow a bit, hey, we're the sweet baby gang.
00:46:27.360 Tax day may have passed, but for millions of Americans, the real trouble is just beginning.
00:46:31.700 If you missed the April 15th deadline or still owe back taxes, the IRS is ramping up enforcement.
00:46:36.400 Every day you wait only makes things worse.
00:46:38.400 With over 5,000 new tax liens filed daily and tools like property seizures, blank bank
00:46:43.100 levies and wage garnishments.
00:46:45.140 The IRS is applying pressure at levels we haven't seen in years.
00:46:48.000 Increased administrative scrutiny means collections are moving fast.
00:46:50.920 The good news, there's still time for Tax Network USA to help.

00:47:16.840 You may have missed April 15th, but you haven't run out of options.
00:47:19.640 Let Tax Network USA help before the IRS makes the next move.
00:47:24.360 So on Friday, we talked about the horrifying story of the cockroaches found on a Spirit Airlines
00:47:28.480 flight.
00:47:29.020 So of course, our comment section today will focus only on that because that's the only
00:47:34.620 important thing.
00:47:37.740 Spirit doesn't have first class.
00:47:39.320 They have big seats in the front row, but they don't even call it first class themselves
00:47:43.920 because this story was that there was cockroaches in first class on Spirit Airlines, which as
00:47:48.700 I remarked, I'm fascinated less by the cockroaches and more by the fact that Spirit has first
00:47:55.840 class seats.
00:47:57.080 But a few people corrected me on this and said that it's...
00:48:00.740 So you're telling me that first class on Spirit Airlines is literally just called the big seats.
00:48:07.580 That's what they...
00:48:08.700 That's the most Spirit Airlines thing I've ever heard of.
00:48:12.020 That's so much better than...
00:48:13.380 I thought it was funny thinking about Spirit Airlines having first class, but now that I know
00:48:16.960 that they actually just call it...
00:48:18.560 And I think...
00:48:18.960 Is that what they call it?
00:48:19.720 Like if you go to the website and you could pay the upcharge for the big seats?
00:48:25.340 That is...
00:48:26.100 That's great.
00:48:26.560 Their version of first class is just to give you a human-sized seat.
00:48:31.300 Their version of first class is to give you a seat that you can fit in if you're an adult
00:48:36.600 with legs, which I think is just great.
00:48:40.060 You know, that's...
00:48:42.020 I would expect nothing less or nothing more.
00:48:47.980 Flying first class on Spirit Airlines is like being the valedictorian of summer school.
00:48:53.060 That's good.
00:48:53.740 That's the joke I was searching for.
00:48:56.540 I was searching for a joke like that when we talked about this, and I couldn't quite...
00:48:59.180 I didn't quite land on it.
00:49:00.180 I couldn't quite get there, but well done.
00:49:03.220 Well done.
00:49:04.680 I knew Spirit was bad when I flew with them while my friends flew on another airline.
00:49:09.060 Our flights going the same route, just being five minutes apart.
00:49:12.960 My flight had such bad turbulence and shook the whole time.
00:49:15.700 And when I landed and saw my friends, I was like, wow, that was terrifying.
00:49:18.220 And they were like, what are you talking about?
00:49:19.980 Our flight was smooth as can be.
00:49:21.200 But yeah, that's because the turbulence on Spirit is not from the weather conditions.
00:49:25.900 It's because of the mechanics of the plane, I assume.
00:49:30.460 It's because the engines are operated by like an army of hamsters on a wheel, you know, running
00:49:37.400 really fast, I assume.
00:49:39.680 I'm going to stand up for Spirit.
00:49:43.220 I've flown Spirit about 30 times to visit family back home.
00:49:45.660 Spirit has never had cancellations, and the one day I had was only 20 minutes.
00:49:49.640 They're reliable, and I'm able to get to my destination safely and for a good price.
00:49:53.180 Delta, on the other hand, they have stranded me in multiple airports with cancellations.
00:49:56.540 Delta has also been on the news a lot recently for their safety.
00:50:00.760 This has to be an alt account for the Spirit CEO.
00:50:03.120 I have to, like, there's no other explanation.
00:50:06.680 There's no way that anyone is passionately defending Spirit Airlines.
00:50:11.460 Yes, they are.
00:50:12.080 I mean, I'll give you that.
00:50:12.920 They're reliable.
00:50:13.660 They're a reliably horrific experience.
00:50:16.300 But you do know exactly what you're going to get.
00:50:18.420 So in a way, I guess I'll agree.
00:50:19.940 Um, Dollar Tree, Aldi's, and Walmart are lower than TJ Maxx on the rankings, IMO.
00:50:30.860 No, I'm not, I won't tolerate that.
00:50:32.580 I'm not going to, I won't tolerate that kind of Walmart slander.
00:50:35.640 I just won't.
00:50:36.520 Walmart is at, Walmart's better than TJ Maxx.
00:50:40.300 Walmart is at least, I think Walmart gets a bad rap, you know?
00:50:44.760 And I think I've, I've, I've, I've sung the praises of Walmart in the past.
00:50:48.700 Uh, as you know, I'm a, I am a, a, a, a loyal Walmart shopper myself, even, even now, even
00:50:54.720 still.
00:50:55.820 And, uh, it's a professional operation.
00:50:58.520 You know, it is a professional operation.
00:51:00.220 TJ Maxx is a, is a, uh, like a giant flea market.
00:51:04.320 It's like TJ Maxx is a, it's a flea market tier operation.
00:51:08.380 So the ranking is actually garage sale, uh, flea market, then like a, a street market in
00:51:17.280 Tanzania and then TJ Maxx.
00:51:19.880 And the thing is that the flea market and the garage sales and third world street markets
00:51:24.080 are better organized and have better customer service.
00:51:28.260 Have you ever walked in?
00:51:29.300 Like, have you walked into a, a TJ Maxx and had to ask an employee a question?
00:51:36.880 They look at you like they're, they're offended that you would ask.
00:51:40.500 Like, I've had this, like, it's like when you ask, it's, it's, if you go to a store and
00:51:44.740 you accidentally stop a customer because you think that they're an employee and you ask
00:51:48.160 them where something is, and a lot of times they get offended.
00:51:51.780 Uh, but really it's their fault because it's like, why did you wear a blue polo to Best Buy?
00:51:56.420 I mean, what, what, what am I supposed to assume?
00:51:59.800 But the employees at TJ Maxx, they get offended the same way, even though they're actually
00:52:05.120 employees.
00:52:06.660 So the last time I went to TJ Maxx was, uh, it was, it was like over a year ago and I
00:52:12.080 was out running errands and my wife did what all wives do all the time and what my wife
00:52:16.940 loves to do, which is that after I'd already completed the errands, I was, I was getting
00:52:23.700 in the car with a feeling of satisfaction, like, well, all the errands are done heading
00:52:28.640 home, you know?
00:52:30.080 And then she texts me as you always get that text in that moment say, Oh, actually, can
00:52:34.920 you get this one other thing?
00:52:36.100 And the one other thing is always something oddly specific.
00:52:40.120 And I forget what it was.
00:52:41.400 It was like, uh, it was like, it was like, it was, uh, shower curtain, uh, rings or something,
00:52:50.320 not the shower curtain and not the shower curtain rod, but the rings, you know, the rings he
00:52:54.700 put on so that the shower curtain slides, something really specific like that.
00:52:58.920 And, uh, and of course I text her back and I say, well, do we really not have those?
00:53:02.940 How do we have a shower curtain?
00:53:03.940 We don't have the rings.
00:53:04.600 What, what happened that we lost that part, but we don't, we still have the curtain.
00:53:08.380 And she said, we needed it.
00:53:09.940 She said, Oh, go to TJ Maxx.
00:53:11.440 They have a great, they have a, they have nice ones that are on sale.
00:53:14.120 And I'm like, what constitutes a nice shower curtain ring?
00:53:18.820 And how do you know that off the top of your head?
00:53:20.840 But I just went to, I, it's the kind of thing you walk in there.
00:53:23.540 I know I'm not gonna be able to find this.
00:53:24.980 I just will not.
00:53:25.680 There's no way I can, I'm going to be able to find it.
00:53:28.080 Stop an employee to ask them about it.
00:53:29.640 They have no clue.
00:53:30.540 It's, it's, it, they have, they are more clueless about how the store is set up than
00:53:36.840 you are as a customer.
00:53:38.060 So anyway, what was the point?
00:53:40.840 Um, yeah, TJ Maxx is worse than Walmart.
00:53:43.220 Finally, I think Matt's memory failed him a little here.
00:53:46.580 Ames wasn't that low end.
00:53:48.200 It was basically Kmart.
00:53:49.480 It definitely wasn't sub dollar tree.
00:53:51.820 You owe your parents an apology, Matt.
00:53:54.080 I don't know.
00:53:54.800 Our, I was also surprised in the comments that so many people knew what Ames was.
00:53:58.700 You know, it was a bargain retailer from like that went out of business 25 years ago.
00:54:03.820 Apparently a lot of, a lot of former Ames customers out there.
00:54:06.460 Ours was pretty rough.
00:54:07.400 I don't know.
00:54:07.840 Ours was, ours was bad.
00:54:09.200 It was really bad.
00:54:10.400 And like I said, we did our back to school shopping there.
00:54:12.720 Um, and the, the clothes were, they were such, they were such obvious knockoffs that even
00:54:21.320 the, even the kids wearing Payless shoes and Walmart brand t-shirts would make fun of me.
00:54:28.000 You'd have a kid wearing shoes with like a slightly different looking swoosh.
00:54:33.020 And the brand was, you know, Fikey or something.
00:54:36.420 And they would be laughing at me in my Ames gear.
00:54:39.020 So, but it's good.
00:54:39.740 It builds character.
00:54:40.420 I'm glad I didn't wear designer clothes when I was a kid.
00:54:43.740 I really am.
00:54:44.220 Because when you don't have expensive clothes, it forces you to develop a charming personality.
00:54:50.980 Which, in theory, I mean, obviously that didn't work out in my case, but it's a good theory anyway.

00:55:23.280 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:55:30.800 There's a story circulating on social media that sounds like a modern urban legend.
00:55:35.340 And maybe it is.
00:55:36.420 The Daily Dot reports on a Tinder user who allegedly managed to score exactly one date in the course of five years,
00:55:42.400 despite, as the story goes, swiping right on more than two million women.
00:55:48.900 Now this claim was posted initially on Reddit, complete with the guy's Tinder stats and some images of his profile.
00:55:54.340 It then made its way to X in a post that's now been viewed over 20 million times.
00:55:58.200 And I'll show you some of the images that have been posted, but I'm going to blur out the guy's face and his name,
00:56:01.700 just in case these images have somehow been posted without his permission.
00:56:03.940 I have no reason to think that they have been, and they've already been viewed like tens of millions of times anyway,
00:56:08.860 so it's probably a moot point, but we'll blur it regardless.
00:56:11.720 So there you can see his alleged Tinder stats, and then you can see some of the pictures on his profile.
00:56:17.200 And even with his face obscured, you kind of get the gist.
00:56:20.700 You see him out on the lake in pretty much every picture, multiple photos of him showing off the fish that he caught.
00:56:26.520 We can also see that he works as an equipment operator at Don't Worry About It.
00:56:31.580 And he notes that if you don't like fishing, he's not interested in you.
00:56:35.980 And we also see him in a hoodie with a vulgar sexual reference.
00:56:40.100 His interests, along with fishing and camping, include memes.
00:56:43.660 So it is, in other words, and I don't say this to be mean,
00:56:46.720 it is a dating profile specifically constructed to be as unappealing to women as possible.
00:56:52.300 I mean, it is those scientists who worked in a lab to concoct the most perfect kind of woman repellent.
00:56:57.960 And again, I don't say that to be rude to this guy.
00:56:59.500 I have empathy for him, but I'm just being honest about it.
00:57:01.800 I mean, this is one of the problems here.
00:57:03.180 It's a really awful dating profile.
00:57:06.480 Now, let's assume that this story is real for the sake of discussion.
00:57:09.820 And it's worth talking about because regardless of the specifics of this alleged case,
00:57:14.080 it does in many ways represent the problem that a huge number of young men are facing.
00:57:18.260 Now, most men may not strike out 2 million times, but they are striking out a lot.
00:57:24.340 And so much that it has convinced millions of young men to essentially give up on the dating scene entirely.
00:57:28.740 By now, you're familiar with the very bleak statistics,
00:57:31.160 which all prove that our friend here is not alone in his reported plight.
00:57:35.400 Over 60% of men between the ages of 18 and 29 are single,
00:57:39.140 which doubles the rate for women in the same age bracket,
00:57:42.460 because obviously that means that a lot of these women are dating older guys.
00:57:45.420 And by the age of 35, about 40% of men will not be married.
00:57:51.220 The average age of marriage for men is now over 30 for the first time in American history.
00:57:56.320 In fact, 20% of single men have never even been on a date in their entire lives.
00:58:02.080 So all of these numbers are historic highs,
00:58:05.020 and they are all also much higher for men than for women.
00:58:09.840 Now, before we talk about what guys like Tinder Dude could do differently in light of these facts,
00:58:14.440 we should acknowledge that, first of all, this really sucks.
00:58:19.220 I mean, it is a tragedy on a societal scale.
00:58:21.880 I have immense compassion for any young man struggling in this way.
00:58:25.040 One of the first things we learn about men in the Bible is that men are not meant to be alone.
00:58:28.960 A man is meant to find a wife and become one flesh with her,
00:58:31.580 and from their flesh to create their own family, which will carry on his name and lineage.
00:58:35.520 So it's incredibly devastating for a man to feel like he may never be able to fulfill that great vocation.
00:58:42.140 We should also acknowledge that, although women may also struggle in their own way to find a good match,
00:58:48.480 they do have it significantly easier than men.
00:58:51.980 I mean, just taking Tinder as an example,
00:58:54.280 women swipe right on an average of about 4% to 14% of profiles.
00:58:58.800 Men swipe right on up to 70% of profiles.
00:59:02.020 And yet, women get far more matches, up to 10 times more matches, if not more than that.
00:59:06.760 And this pattern repeats on pretty much every dating app, every dating site.
00:59:11.400 It is not oversimplifying to say that a woman,
00:59:15.240 a woman, in order to find interested men, only needs to be not morbidly obese.
00:59:23.400 If a woman can simply keep herself in decent shape,
00:59:26.240 she is virtually guaranteed to garner interest on the dating market.
00:59:29.300 I mean, it really is that simple.
00:59:30.660 And the reason to point this disparity out isn't just to complain that it's unfair.
00:59:35.360 The point is that the disparity feeds the problem.
00:59:38.000 The easier it is for women on the dating market, the harder it gets for men.
00:59:41.580 Because the problem has a compounding effect.
00:59:43.940 It compounds exponentially.
00:59:46.160 This is because men not only have lots of competition,
00:59:49.280 but also a woman's standards are raised higher and higher,
00:59:52.320 often to an unreasonable degree.
00:59:53.820 A moderately attractive woman on a dating app might rule out all moderately attractive men.
01:00:01.060 And then she might start adding other unreasonable demands.
01:00:03.740 She gets pickier as the men get more desperate.
01:00:06.780 Now, a moderately attractive woman, or even a moderately unattractive one,
01:00:10.600 might narrow her field to only men above six feet in height,
01:00:14.220 who earn an income three or four times above the national average, or whatever it is.
01:00:18.660 The effect is that decent-looking guys with decent jobs
01:00:22.360 find themselves very often cut out.
01:00:25.780 A man has to be exceptional to attract interest.
01:00:29.060 A woman has to be just not fat.
01:00:32.060 And this is the dynamic that millions of young men are dealing with,
01:00:35.580 especially if their access to the dating world
01:00:37.660 is facilitated primarily or solely through dating apps.
01:00:41.880 So, what can a young man do about all of this?
01:00:47.680 Well, let's go back to Tinder dude and use him as a case study.
01:00:52.360 What can he do about all of this?
01:00:55.540 Well, the first thing he could do about all this is accept
01:00:58.660 that he can't do anything about any of it.
01:01:02.320 The dynamics that I've just outlined cannot be changed or fixed by any one guy.
01:01:06.720 It's extremely unfortunate that the dating scene works this way,
01:01:09.980 but that is how it works.
01:01:12.100 As a young single guy, you have only two choices.
01:01:15.780 Flipping a magic switch and making it better is not one of them.
01:01:18.440 So, the choices are these.
01:01:19.560 You can give up and resign yourself to being alone and lonely and sad forever,
01:01:23.240 or you can try your best to succeed in spite of these enormous challenges.
01:01:27.480 You can try, or you can not try.
01:01:31.860 Those are the options.
01:01:32.660 I mean, those are the options everywhere in life.
01:01:35.500 Try or not try.
01:01:37.320 And the thing that separates successful people from failures
01:01:40.040 is that successful people, when given that choice, always try.
01:01:44.240 I know it sounds like a cliche, and it is, but it's also true.
01:01:48.480 But you can only try to change the things that you can actually change.
01:01:52.080 And on the dating scene, that means working on yourself.
01:01:54.360 I mean, you are the only person that you have complete control over.
01:01:56.880 However, all you can do is make yourself as desirable as possible
01:02:00.880 and put yourself in situations where your chances are as high as possible.
01:02:04.140 For Tinder dude, he can start with some basic fixes.
01:02:08.100 And, you know, he's in the same situation a lot of guys are in,
01:02:10.940 which is that he's not, you know, he's not some, like, hideous guy.
01:02:14.880 He's not, he's just, like, a normal guy.
01:02:16.160 He's fine, he's fine, he's a normal guy.
01:02:18.500 And so there are, like, little things that can be fixed
01:02:22.740 that would greatly increase his chances.
01:02:24.660 First of all, get rid of all the fish pictures.
01:02:27.460 I'm impressed by the fish that he caught.
01:02:29.380 Like, those are nice fish.
01:02:30.280 But he's not trying to attract me, I hope.
01:02:32.540 Presumably, he's trying to attract women.
01:02:34.520 And a woman's attitude towards fishing will almost always range
01:02:38.040 somewhere between indifference and outright disgust.
01:02:42.680 My wife is about as pro-fishing as a wife can possibly be.
01:02:47.580 And yet, if she were to rate her top 50 favorite photos of me,
01:02:51.440 none of them would be the ones where I'm holding a fish.
01:02:54.480 Even though those are basically the only times I take pictures anymore.
01:02:56.880 Is when I'm holding a fish.
01:02:58.660 Also, he could project a classier, more sophisticated appearance.
01:03:02.280 Now, I don't mean that he needs, like, a photo of himself smoking a pipe
01:03:04.980 and reading a leather-bound book in his study.
01:03:06.940 I just mean, get rid of the picture with the vulgar hoodie.
01:03:10.400 Grown, mature, sophisticated guys don't shop at Spencer's,
01:03:13.480 which I assume is where he got that sweater.
01:03:16.480 He should generally get rid of anything that makes it seem like
01:03:19.060 he's the kind of guy who spends hours a day on Reddit.
01:03:21.900 Listing memes as an interest, along with the vulgar hoodie,
01:03:25.680 give off Reddit vibes.
01:03:26.960 And, you know, it makes it seem like when you're not fishing,
01:03:29.440 you spend all of your time online.
01:03:30.940 There's no woman in existence who is looking for a man
01:03:33.680 who spends all of his time online.
01:03:35.820 Even the women who also spend all of their time online
01:03:38.300 are not looking for that.
01:03:39.380 And yes, that's unfair, but that's just how it is.
01:03:43.080 These are all easy fixes that would take about three minutes to implement.
01:03:45.880 And then we move on to the harder things.
01:03:49.620 You know, this guy needs to get in really good shape.
01:03:51.740 If he shaves off even a third of his Tinder time
01:03:54.120 and dedicates that to the gym,
01:03:55.740 he could get into relatively, you know, respectable shape pretty quickly.
01:03:59.780 If you are a single, able-bodied man,
01:04:02.740 you have no excuse to be out of shape.
01:04:05.720 You definitely have time to go to the gym
01:04:08.380 or work out at your house.
01:04:10.960 You have all the incentive in the world to do so.
01:04:13.660 When you're older and you have a wife and kids,
01:04:16.700 that's when you might lose a little bit of the incentive and the time.
01:04:19.760 Although even then, there's no excuse to be a fat slob.
01:04:22.080 I have a wife and six kids.
01:04:23.320 I still try to work out four or five times a week.
01:04:25.360 If I have time for it, you definitely do.
01:04:28.880 I cannot tell you how often I talk to young men
01:04:31.120 who say that they've done everything they can to find a woman,
01:04:34.960 and yet I can look at them
01:04:36.280 and tell that everything apparently didn't include
01:04:39.380 what is arguably the most important thing,
01:04:41.300 go to the gym and get in shape.
01:04:42.580 I mean, if you haven't gone to the gym
01:04:44.980 and gotten into shape, you have not done everything.
01:04:47.940 You haven't even done...
01:04:49.260 You haven't done most of the things that you could be doing.
01:04:52.880 You can't help your height,
01:04:54.440 and if you aren't rich,
01:04:56.200 that's not something you can necessarily fix quickly or ever.
01:05:00.340 But you can drop down to the floor right now
01:05:03.120 and rip off some push-ups.
01:05:05.000 Even if you tell me that you can't afford a gym membership,
01:05:07.280 which is a claim that I would find pretty dubious
01:05:09.120 because gym memberships can be cheap
01:05:11.180 if you're not picky about the gym.
01:05:13.480 But even then, you could still get in shape.
01:05:15.140 I mean, I could list like 20 muscle-building exercises
01:05:17.280 you could do in your living room without weights right now.
01:05:20.260 And if you could save up and spring for some used dumbbells
01:05:22.540 and a pull-up bar, all the better.
01:05:23.520 The point is, you need to be in good shape,
01:05:25.940 and you simply have no excuse not to be.
01:05:28.880 Women these days may be too picky in certain ways,
01:05:31.840 but you can't blame them for not wanting a doughy, flabby guy.
01:05:37.720 That is biological hardwiring.
01:05:39.400 Women are attracted to strength.
01:05:41.500 The only way to reliably attract women
01:05:43.700 if you're not in good shape
01:05:44.960 is to either be rich or extremely funny.
01:05:49.360 Those are the two things that can get over the hurdle
01:05:51.160 of you being a bit of a slob.
01:05:53.360 But, you know, you aren't rich,
01:05:55.260 and you probably aren't that funny.
01:05:57.180 So if you're also adding out of shape to the list,
01:05:59.960 then you've put yourself in a hole
01:06:01.660 that you might not be able to climb out of.
01:06:04.280 Also, even if you are, like, stand-up comedian-level funny,
01:06:07.960 that's not going to come across in a dating profile.
01:06:10.860 Dating apps are a visual medium.
01:06:12.940 You need to be able to show something visually
01:06:14.740 that will separate you from the pack.
01:06:16.840 And that really leaves either physical fitness or money.
01:06:20.180 And those are the two things
01:06:20.940 I can come across quickly in a picture.
01:06:23.560 And that brings us to the last point.
01:06:27.200 Dating apps operate in one dimension.
01:06:29.340 You are reduced to a picture
01:06:31.560 and a few details on a screen.
01:06:34.720 You know, we like to think of this
01:06:36.040 as kind of a modern, cutting-edge approach to dating.
01:06:39.320 But it's actually extremely primitive.
01:06:42.060 It's even animalistic.
01:06:44.720 Because on a dating app, as a man,
01:06:46.600 the mating ritual reduces you to the level
01:06:49.480 of a bird in the rainforest
01:06:50.920 trying to attract the female's attention
01:06:52.720 by showing off your colorful feathers
01:06:54.480 and bright, elaborate plumage.
01:06:56.700 Only in your case,
01:06:58.300 you're competing against thousands of other birds
01:07:00.200 occupying the same tree branch.
01:07:03.080 Only about 5% to 10% of the male birds
01:07:05.280 have feathers impressive enough
01:07:06.460 to even be in the running.
01:07:08.100 The other 90% to 95% are dancing around
01:07:10.340 and making fools of themselves
01:07:11.340 basically for no reason.
01:07:12.920 Prior to dating apps taking over the world,
01:07:15.320 we as humans had developed
01:07:17.280 a far more sophisticated
01:07:18.920 and meaningful process
01:07:20.420 for finding a mate.
01:07:23.120 And it involved,
01:07:25.440 well, a long time ago
01:07:26.840 in traditional societies,
01:07:28.100 the process was often arranged marriage,
01:07:30.920 which, as I've said before,
01:07:32.140 is way better than this Tinder stuff.
01:07:35.140 We'd be way better with that situation,
01:07:37.280 but we don't have that.
01:07:39.520 So without that,
01:07:40.520 then it involves meeting a woman in person
01:07:43.540 out somewhere in the world
01:07:45.620 where she would assess your desirability
01:07:48.460 based on more than just a cursory glance
01:07:51.100 of your physical features
01:07:52.020 and your employment history.
01:07:54.140 And this is where a man of average looks
01:07:56.120 and average income
01:07:56.940 could set himself apart
01:07:58.640 with his intelligence,
01:07:59.780 with his personality,
01:08:00.620 sense of humor,
01:08:01.280 integrity, competence,
01:08:02.660 skill, artistic talent,
01:08:04.500 you know,
01:08:04.880 any number of other things.
01:08:06.600 The dating apps
01:08:07.660 make almost all of those things
01:08:09.680 irrelevant.
01:08:11.040 Or at least they push those factors
01:08:12.480 further downstream.
01:08:13.340 Now, you don't even get a chance
01:08:15.280 to impress a woman
01:08:15.980 with your intellect
01:08:16.700 or charming personality
01:08:17.720 or sense of humor
01:08:18.480 until you've already attracted her attention
01:08:20.640 and won the initial mating contest
01:08:22.120 based entirely on your looks.
01:08:24.380 And so for men,
01:08:25.380 this is pretty much
01:08:27.120 the worst possible system.
01:08:30.500 And that means the real answer
01:08:31.920 or the best one
01:08:32.760 is to start to move away
01:08:35.640 from these dating apps.
01:08:37.420 I mean,
01:08:37.700 even if you do meet a woman on Tinder,
01:08:39.580 most of them aren't looking
01:08:40.780 for a serious relationship.
01:08:41.820 They're not open to marriage anyway,
01:08:43.000 which makes the whole thing
01:08:43.760 a waste of time.
01:08:44.940 And that means your best bet
01:08:45.920 is to go out into the wild
01:08:47.940 in the real physical world
01:08:49.740 and start talking to women.
01:08:53.340 Now, talk to women at church,
01:08:54.460 at school,
01:08:55.120 if you're still in college,
01:08:56.020 at work,
01:08:56.880 at the gym
01:08:57.540 that you're supposed to be joining,
01:08:59.040 at the dog park.
01:09:00.180 I mean, anywhere.
01:09:01.420 Now, sure,
01:09:01.960 this increases your chances
01:09:03.460 of an embarrassing rejection
01:09:04.480 pretty significantly.
01:09:05.560 And yes, yes,
01:09:06.580 in the post-MeToo world,
01:09:08.420 trying to strike up a relationship
01:09:09.580 with a woman at work
01:09:10.400 could be fraught with peril
01:09:11.600 if you're not careful about it.
01:09:12.680 But I'm not saying
01:09:14.100 you just charge in cold
01:09:15.600 to a woman you never spoken to before
01:09:16.920 and ask her on a date.
01:09:18.040 Just, you know,
01:09:18.600 just start by saying hi.
01:09:19.960 Like, say anything.
01:09:22.160 Develop some kind of rapport.
01:09:25.220 And this is how it was done
01:09:28.160 for a long time
01:09:29.020 before swiping was a thing.
01:09:31.920 The idea that I think
01:09:33.260 a lot of young guys have
01:09:34.440 that this just can't be done anymore
01:09:36.380 is ridiculous.
01:09:38.860 I mean, men still meet
01:09:40.040 and start dating women
01:09:40.960 in the real world every day.
01:09:42.440 It can be done.
01:09:43.020 It still happens every day,
01:09:44.260 like thousands of times a day,
01:09:45.780 every day, everywhere in the country.
01:09:47.480 So if you're not one of these guys
01:09:49.480 that's doing this,
01:09:51.180 then it means you're not trying.
01:09:55.240 And like I said,
01:09:56.680 you can either try
01:09:57.960 or not try.
01:10:00.380 Those are the only options.
01:10:01.600 So you might as well try.
01:10:05.880 Or else you will be,
01:10:07.380 not by me,
01:10:08.400 but because of the harsh realities of life,
01:10:11.100 canceled.
01:10:12.740 That'll do it for the show today.
01:10:14.120 Thanks for watching.
01:10:14.600 Thanks for listening.
01:10:15.100 Talk to you tomorrow.
01:10:15.720 Have a great day.
01:10:16.620 Godspeed.
