Today on the Matt Wall Show, we will break down the Supreme Court's historic decision, which puts a nail in the coffin of the trans agenda, and I'll explain why. Also, Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson had a very heated debate over Iran. A lot of people seem upset and scandalized by the conversation. I thought it was fantastic and highly entertaining. And a feminist comedian admits that she became more conservative when she had a kid, many such cases. Why is that exactly? And a recent report proves what is now undeniable, AI has killed whatever was left of the education system. It is over.
00:00:28.160
We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:50.680
There are two accurate ways to look at yesterday's Supreme Court decision upholding Tennessee's ban on so-called gender-affirming procedures for minors.
00:01:59.640
The first way is to see the ruling as a historic victory that protects millions of children all over the country.
00:02:05.240
It's the culmination of several years of effort by lawmakers, conservative legal groups, and everyday citizens, including many of you who are listening to this show right now.
00:02:14.020
When I published my investigation into Vanderbilt's medical center just under three years ago, exposing their depraved practice of mutilating children,
00:02:22.880
we received an enormous amount of backlash from left-wing activists and many corporate media outlets.
00:02:28.140
They called us bigots because we opposed the sterilization and castration of children.
00:02:32.800
They harassed us, threatened to kill us, but it didn't work.
00:02:36.720
We urged Tennessee lawmakers to pass a law outlawing this barbarism.
00:02:44.820
And as a result of this decision, all 27 states that have similar bans will be able to keep those bans in place.
00:02:55.780
The other way of looking at this decision, which is also a correct way of seeing it,
00:02:59.860
is to see it as a crushing defeat for trans activists and for gender ideology as a whole.
00:03:08.880
Because the ACLU did not have to support this lawsuit and force it through to the Supreme Court.
00:03:15.240
They didn't have to put a woman pretending to be a man named Chase Strangio in front of the highest court in the land
00:03:21.500
to humiliate herself and her entire organization in the name of diversity and trans representation.
00:03:27.580
They didn't have to insist on the obvious absurdity that children have a constitutional right to their own castration.
00:03:33.700
They could have simply allowed states like Tennessee to ban the chemical and physical castration of minors
00:03:41.680
For once in their lives, these activists could have adopted a relatively moderate position by their standards.
00:03:48.000
But because they chose to go after the Tennessee ban with the same level of derangement that they approach everything else,
00:03:53.900
now everyone can see, as outlined in a lengthy opinion that's now binding legal precedent in every court in the country,
00:04:01.420
just how intentionally bankrupt and fraudulent their whole movement truly is.
00:04:07.780
I mean, the best arguments that the left-wing justices could muster were clearly nonsense.
00:04:14.280
They were destroyed by the majority opinion, as we'll discuss in a moment.
00:04:18.540
And therefore, by bringing this case, they've opened the door to a much more extensive nationwide ban on child butchery.
00:04:28.460
Already, you could tell that the gender cult has lost a lot of the mainstream support that it needs to survive.
00:04:34.380
If you look at some of the coverage of this decision across the corporate press,
00:04:38.520
you won't find anyone defending the idea, or very few people defending the idea,
00:04:42.880
that children should be castrated or mutilated.
00:04:45.280
Instead, you'll find a lot of segments like this one.
00:04:48.540
The best they can do here is tell viewers that if they want to get some gender-affirming care, quote-unquote,
00:04:55.740
they'll need to head to the coast to get it. Watch.
00:04:58.180
Obviously, this is one of the most controversial and closely watched cases of the term.
00:05:08.120
The court is saying that children who identify as transgender don't have a constitutional right
00:05:14.560
to get puberty blockers or hormones to change their biological sex.
00:05:19.600
And then it's saying that states have this interest in regulating medicine.
00:05:23.680
They are entitled to make these decisions, and especially, whereas the court put it here in this decision,
00:05:28.800
they're novel drugs with potentially life-altering consequences.
00:05:33.740
States will be free to ban this kind of medical treatment for children,
00:05:38.280
so that if you're taking those kind of medications, if you're a parent and you want your children to be able to,
00:05:43.240
you're going to have to go to states that do allow it.
00:05:46.780
You can see those are kind of on the coast that are still going to be allowing.
00:05:52.220
All the coverage like this, even from left-wing outlets like MSNBC or CNN,
00:05:59.740
In every case, virtually every comment supports a total ban on so-called gender-affirming care.
00:06:06.000
And even the news anchors, as you can tell, aren't really pushing the trans argument anymore.
00:06:10.180
There's not a whole lot of energy left in this movement on their side of it.
00:06:15.060
To the extent that any leftists are upset about this ruling, they're clearly unhinged.
00:06:20.860
Here, for example, is a post from a man using the name Alejandra Caraballo.
00:06:25.880
Now, that's all in response to the fact that we're not going to be castrating kids.
00:06:47.860
If we're not going to castrate kids, let this whole country burn to the ground, is what Alejandra Caraballo says.
00:06:56.480
So not exactly the most persuasive line of reasoning, especially since the Tennessee law was indeed the result of democracy.
00:07:02.840
The voters elected representatives, and those representatives decided, after seeing all the evidence, and after hearing the outcry from the people, that child mutilation is not a good thing.
00:07:15.760
But somehow, in the mind of Alejandra Caraballo, that's a sign that democracy doesn't exist, and America should be destroyed.
00:07:23.140
And by the way, for what it's worth, which admittedly isn't much these days, Alejandra Caraballo teaches at Harvard Law School.
00:07:32.420
According to his LinkedIn, he's an instructor in the Cyber Law Clinic.
00:07:36.300
Once again, no matter how much contempt everyone has for institutions like Harvard, they somehow find a way to degrade the reputation even further.
00:07:43.260
The president who plagiarized everything she wrote was actually the best they have to offer, apparently.
00:07:49.400
There were other demented reactions along these lines.
00:07:51.740
Scroll through blue sky, as very, very few people ever do.
00:07:56.340
But if you do, you'll find a bunch of really deranged reactions.
00:08:01.460
There's a lot of people claiming that the Supreme Court is evil, that we have to keep fighting, and so on.
00:08:07.180
And then there's this guy saying, quote, about time we assassinate the Tennessee lawmakers.
00:08:11.700
So, you know, not very subtle, and these people are not having the best Pride Month, you might say.
00:08:19.760
They know that their whole movement has been exposed.
00:08:22.420
They know they have no credibility in the eyes of the public.
00:08:24.860
They know that 90% of the public opposes this insanity.
00:08:28.160
So in response, they're doing what insane people do.
00:08:31.080
They're lashing out and embracing domestic terrorism.
00:08:35.300
Even at the Supreme Court, the left-wing justices couldn't articulate a coherent justification
00:08:42.320
They really tried their best to contort facts and logic to fit their preferred outcome, as they always do.
00:08:47.740
But in this case, they did an especially poor job of it.
00:08:52.180
There were two main arguments that the liberal justices used.
00:08:54.980
First, they claimed that Tennessee's ban amounted to unconstitutional discrimination on the basis of sex.
00:09:01.820
Here's the reasoning from Sonia Sotomayor, the wise Latina who openly admits she was a DEI hire.
00:09:08.740
After puberty begins, doctors may prescribe these same medicines to adolescents whose physical appearances does not align
00:09:14.020
with what one might expect from their sex identified at birth.
00:09:17.800
An adolescent female, for example, might receive testosterone suppressors and hormonal birth control
00:09:21.880
to reduce the growth of unwanted hair on her face or body, sometimes called male pattern hair growth.
00:09:28.160
Physicians prescribe these same medications to transgender adolescents.
00:09:32.920
Simply that sex determines access to the covered medication.
00:09:37.960
Now, to restate the logic, she's saying that female children sometimes receive hormones and testosterone suppressors
00:09:46.820
if they're suffering from a rare condition, a medical condition, a diagnosable physical medical condition
00:09:54.140
But under Tennessee's law, male children can't receive hormones and testosterone suppressors
00:10:02.100
And therefore, Sonia Sotomayor concludes that the male child is being discriminated against
00:10:10.140
It's hard to even read that out loud without realizing it's maybe the dumbest thing ever written
00:10:15.780
by a Supreme Court justice in the history of this country.
00:10:24.880
No, in that analogy, the male child isn't being discriminated against because of his sex.
00:10:29.420
He's being told that he can't have the medication for the purpose of changing his gender
00:10:43.720
Meanwhile, the girl is allowed to have the medication because she's trying to treat a
00:10:48.480
completely separate issue, a verifiable physical medical condition, which is male pattern hair
00:10:56.120
In other words, the law isn't treating boys and girls differently.
00:10:59.420
It's stating that whether you are a boy or a girl, if you're under the age of 18, you
00:11:03.520
cannot be given hormones and puberty blockers for the purpose of changing your gender.
00:11:12.280
Sotomayor is arguing that, basically, she's arguing that if you prescribe medicine for
00:11:20.960
one particular purpose, you must then prescribe it for any other purpose at all.
00:11:28.200
So if you give medicine, if someone has a medical condition and they say, I have this medical
00:11:33.620
condition, the doctor says, here's medicine for it.
00:11:36.160
Then the next person who comes into the office and says, oh, I want that same medicine.
00:11:39.860
You have to give it to them, no matter the reason, because otherwise it's discrimination.
00:11:46.440
But of course, every medication on the planet is prescribed only for a certain set of very
00:11:53.640
limited circumstances and not for any other circumstance.
00:12:00.480
Along the same line, Sotomayor tried to compare Tennessee's ban to Virginia's old ban on interracial
00:12:08.560
Under Virginia's law, your race would would directly determine who you could marry.
00:12:13.900
If you were black, you couldn't marry a white person.
00:12:16.300
If you somehow became white, then you could get married to a white person.
00:12:23.200
Tennessee's law doesn't care if you're a boy or a girl.
00:12:25.600
Well, whatever your sex happens to be under Tennessee law, you are barred from accessing
00:12:30.500
so-called gender-affirming care as long as you're under the age of 18.
00:12:35.620
For whatever reason, the combined intellect of the three female liberal judges on the Supreme
00:12:42.920
They were really, really committed to their analogies, even though all the analogies had
00:12:48.140
It's a good reminder why, in general, your argument should never rely totally on analogies.
00:12:52.680
I mean, it's easy to draw a comparison to some terrible thing and then say, this situation
00:12:56.860
is just like that, but it's not easy to ensure that the comparison actually makes sense.
00:13:02.380
And the only reason to become completely dependent on analogies is if you know that your underlying
00:13:10.780
They desperately don't want to talk about the reality of so-called gender-affirming care,
00:13:15.580
so they resort to these very strained comparisons.
00:13:18.340
At one point, Sotomayor even cited a bunch of Yale philosophers, quote-unquote, who compared
00:13:24.180
the Tennessee law to an imaginary rule that prohibited minors from attending certain religious
00:13:31.880
I'm going to read the part of Sotomayor's opinion where she tries to explain the point
00:13:42.600
In other words, she's saying that sex is part of the definition of whether someone's
00:14:01.440
seeking so-called gender-affirming care, and that's true depending on what definition the
00:14:06.540
left feels like using on any given day, but it doesn't mean that the law therefore discriminates
00:14:11.900
There are plenty of laws that relate to the idea of sex in some way, which are not discriminatory
00:14:18.320
The majority opinion gives the example of a California insurance program that decided
00:14:22.220
not to cover certain disabilities resulting from pregnancy, and that was a decision that
00:14:26.260
only affected women because only women can get pregnant, but that doesn't mean the insurance
00:14:32.660
They didn't put this in place because they were trying to target women.
00:14:38.800
They had independent reasons to drop the coverage, and therefore the decision was not discriminatory.
00:14:44.780
To be clear, I'm only going through all this in so much detail to highlight how utterly
00:14:51.920
Even using their own frameworks where sex-based discrimination is the worst thing imaginable
00:14:57.080
and it's terrible to discriminate on the basis of transgender status, whatever that is, their
00:15:05.480
Once you get past this whole constitutional discussion on whether Tennessee's law discriminates
00:15:08.820
on the basis of sex, their position gets even worse.
00:15:10.940
And that's because even if this law discriminates on the basis of sex or transgender status,
00:15:17.180
Sometimes you're allowed to discriminate against certain groups of people if the point is to
00:15:22.920
Why do you think many gay men can't donate blood?
00:15:26.660
Why do you think children can't operate heavy machinery?
00:15:29.560
Discrimination based on sex doesn't make a law illegal.
00:15:32.500
It just makes it less likely that courts will defer the judgment to the judgment of legislatures.
00:15:37.640
And there were concurring opinions by Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, and Clarence Thomas that
00:15:44.260
You know, we all understand this concept intuitively.
00:15:47.020
Sometimes you have to tell a certain group of people that they don't get to have everything
00:15:50.340
they demand simply because they claim to belong to a protected status.
00:15:54.380
That's especially true for so-called trans people who, as Amy Coney Barrett pointed out,
00:15:59.040
are a nonsense category that's constantly changing.
00:16:02.740
Somebody can be trans one day and not trans the next.
00:16:05.580
And therefore, Barrett wrote, the whole idea of transgender status as a protected characteristic
00:16:12.240
It's not an immutable characteristic by trans activists' own claims.
00:16:16.840
By their own testimony, it is not an immutable characteristic.
00:16:19.700
It's a characteristic that can change by the second, which means that, again, the argument
00:16:28.800
They didn't say one way or another whether trans status could be protected, but they should
00:16:35.820
Part of the problem here is that the Supreme Court reached a disastrous decision in the
00:16:39.720
so-called Bostock case five years ago, where they held that it's illegal under Title VII
00:16:44.500
of the Civil Rights Act to fire somebody because of their so-called gender identity, which is
00:16:50.440
So the court's so-called conservatives, including Roberts and Gorsuch, have already given up some
00:16:56.780
And now they're having to find a way to work around their own prior rulings.
00:17:00.240
And even in this case, they're still acting like trans children is a real category, which
00:17:06.020
For his part, Clarence Thomas had no problem saying yesterday that the Bostock decision
00:17:09.340
was a disaster and that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act should never be allowed to overrule
00:17:14.820
And the Constitution does not protect invented characteristics like gender identity.
00:17:19.460
Thomas's concurrence is worth reading its entirety, but here's probably the most important
00:17:24.440
This is the part where he establishes that whatever standard of review you use in court and whether
00:17:28.980
or not you conclude that sex discrimination was involved.
00:17:31.680
The fact remains that mutilating children is wrong and that the science behind it is fake.
00:17:41.680
Quote, setting aside whether sex transition treatments for children are effective, states
00:17:45.640
may legitimately question whether they are ethical.
00:17:48.260
Deference to legislatures, not experts, is particularly critical here.
00:17:51.820
Many prominent medical professionals have declared a consensus around the efficacy of treating
00:17:55.360
children as gender dysphoria with puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical interventions.
00:17:58.980
Despite mounting evidence to the contrary, they've dismissed grave problems undercutting the
00:18:03.220
assumption that young children can consent to irreversible treatments that may deprive
00:18:06.580
them of their ability to eventually produce children of their own.
00:18:09.700
They have built their own medical determinations on conceitedly weak evidence, and they have
00:18:15.420
surreptitiously compromised their medical recommendations to achieve political ends.
00:18:19.500
States are never required to substitute expert opinion for their legislative judgment, and when the
00:18:24.340
experts appear to have compromised their credibility, it makes good sense to chart a different
00:18:30.480
Now, Thomas also devoted large portions of his opinion to exposing the fraudsters at WPATH,
00:18:35.380
whose members have secretly admitted that children can't give informed consent to life-altering
00:18:41.240
They've also changed their alleged medical guidance on orders from the Biden administration.
00:18:45.760
This is an organization that virtually all major medical organizations and hospitals cite as
00:18:49.760
the gold standard for transgender quote-unquote health care, even though they're essentially
00:18:56.360
Quoting from Thomas' concurrence, unsealed documents reveal that a senior official in the Biden administration
00:19:00.660
pressed WPATH to remove age limits for adolescent surgeries for guidelines for care of transgender
00:19:05.720
minors on the theory that specific listings of ages under 18 will result in devastating legislation
00:19:12.680
Despite some internal agreement, WPATH acceded.
00:19:16.140
The result of the majority opinions documents how many other, rather the rest of the majority
00:19:23.620
opinion documents how many other countries from Finland to Sweden and the UK have determined
00:19:31.620
There's no scientific consensus, in other words, and that's a very big deal for two reasons.
00:19:37.220
First of all, the consensus of the medical community is a key factor in lawsuits for malpractice.
00:19:42.540
If doctors aren't following the consensus, they become liable for, say, ruining the life
00:19:47.520
of a child by pumping his body full of unnatural hormones.
00:19:50.580
And secondly, insurance providers rely on the standard of care in determining what procedures
00:19:56.260
And now that the highest court in the country has stated quite definitively that mutilating
00:20:00.000
children does not reflect any standard of care, these insurance companies have good
00:20:06.560
At the same time, we shouldn't have to wait for malpractice lawsuits or for insurance companies
00:20:13.500
There's a bill right now introduced by Marjorie Taylor Greene to ban child castration and mutilation
00:20:19.880
Republicans, last I checked, control all three branches of government.
00:20:25.140
There is no reason why this legislation shouldn't be passed immediately.
00:20:29.060
And if Democrats threaten the filibuster or to shut down the country, you know, in order
00:20:34.820
to, in order to keep castrating kids, let them do it.
00:20:38.100
Let them go on national television and explain why doctors should be allowed to carve up the
00:20:43.080
Let them explain why protecting children from castration is the same thing as banning interracial
00:20:48.600
Let them get up there and make the case for chopping the breasts off of 15 year old girls.
00:20:52.860
Have Cory Booker cry and bang his podium and talk about how gay he is, all in service of
00:20:58.280
discredited procedures that the overwhelming majority of Americans find repulsive and immoral.
00:21:04.160
It would mark the end of the Democrat Party if they did that.
00:21:07.680
And for that reason alone, now that the gender cult is thoroughly embarrassed and disgraced
00:21:11.380
during a month that they used to celebrate, Republicans must pass this legislation immediately.
00:21:16.800
And if it seems like a long shot, consider this three years ago, no one thought that, you
00:21:22.020
know, the Twitter thread that I posted would, would lead to a Supreme court case that would
00:21:28.060
No one thought that we could shut down extremely well-funded gender clinics at Vanderbilt and all
00:21:33.740
You know, I had my doubts also, if I'm being honest, everybody did, but if we could do that,
00:21:39.080
then passing a law while we control both houses of Congress and the white house should be pretty
00:21:47.540
This is the time for a nationwide ban on the child mutilation industry.
00:21:51.760
Now the Supreme court has dealt these cultists, the biggest setback they've ever experienced.
00:21:56.160
We have the opportunity to finish this and all that's necessary is for elected Republicans
00:22:00.560
to do what we did three years ago, which is to put aside any concerns that you might have
00:22:05.000

Social media has been on fire ablaze with this debate between Senator Cruz and Tucker Carlson.
00:23:47.840
And maybe you've seen the clips, maybe you watched the whole thing.
00:23:50.800
I watched, I recommend watching the whole thing.
00:23:53.200
It's a, it's a, uh, a heated exchange on Tucker's show.
00:24:00.060
And like I said, I watched the whole thing personally.
00:24:02.000
I found it to be really fascinating and a great conversation.
00:24:12.220
Apparently, uh, the conversation online has made it clear that the only acceptable thing
00:24:17.840
is to choose a side between Cruz and Tucker and declare the other guy, the one you don't
00:24:22.400
choose is total scum as the only, the only acceptable thing is to watch this.
00:24:26.220
And one of these guys has to be a villain who you hate forever and you want him to die.
00:24:32.480
Like that's the only, the only acceptable way to, to watch things like this.
00:24:39.980
In fact, I, I, I tweeted the sentiment about how I thought it was an interesting conversation.
00:24:43.280
Uh, I enjoyed the debate and the comments are full.
00:24:47.620
I mean, you can go, if you think I'm exaggerating, just go, you can go to my X account and see
00:24:51.480
the comments are full of people on both sides of the debate, yelling at me for not condemning
00:25:00.700
Both sides are mad that I enjoyed the debate and thought it was a good conversation.
00:25:05.160
Uh, you're not supposed to enjoy it or appreciate the conversation.
00:25:08.680
You're supposed to come away from it, hating either Tucker or Cruz.
00:25:11.340
And, and, you know, that's the way it goes now, but, um, I don't hate either of them.
00:25:17.420
I think they're both really intelligent and they're both sincere.
00:25:23.040
Um, but on this issue, I, I agree more with Tucker than with Cruz.
00:25:28.600
Uh, although I think Cruz's position as he articulated it is certainly not the insane war, crazy
00:25:38.280
I said yesterday, I think Lindsey Graham is actually an evil person.
00:25:45.440
And that's been like, he's been in public office.
00:25:49.500
And that's, it's very consistently been the case.
00:25:53.560
Um, but I, I agree more with Tucker on, on this.
00:25:59.860
Um, and there are many clips from this interview that are going viral.
00:26:05.380
There's one clip where Tucker presses Cruz on the foundational reasons for his support
00:26:12.500
One of them is that he says that, you know, he, he thinks that it serves American interests,
00:26:17.740
which is of course the right reason for a politician to hold any position, whether you agree or disagree
00:26:25.140
with the position, the reason why they should hold it is because this serves American interests.
00:26:30.720
Now they can be wrong about what serves American interests, but that should be the reason.
00:26:34.900
So that's one, one of his stated reasons for supporting Israel.
00:26:37.960
So, but then Cruz also says that he believes that Christians are called to support Israel.
00:26:41.780
We're commanded by the Bible to support Israel.
00:26:44.620
Um, and, uh, on that point, I think he's wrong.
00:26:47.880
I don't think that Christians are obligated to have any stance one way or another on the
00:26:52.380
modern state of Israel, which is a political entity like any other country.
00:26:57.320
Uh, I think as a, as a, as a Christian, when it comes to now there are as, as Christians,
00:27:03.060
uh, it doesn't, that's not to say that, well, a Christian can have any view on foreign policy
00:27:09.000
whatsoever and Christianity has nothing to say about it.
00:27:14.340
Um, as a Christian, we should care about things like just war theory.
00:27:18.000
You know, we should care about is if we're going to, you know, if we're going to war,
00:27:24.000
Um, you know, you can't support, it's like, you know, uh, wantonly murdering, uh, innocent
00:27:31.780
people and that sort of thing as Christians, we can't support that.
00:27:34.860
Um, but when it comes to your stance on, uh, certain other countries and our relationship
00:27:42.760
with other countries, I think as a Christian, you could, you could feel any way you want
00:27:48.220
Um, but that to me was not the most interesting part of this, the exchange.
00:27:52.400
I thought the most interesting part was this and we'll play a piece of it, but this actually
00:27:57.840
went on for a while and they returned to it repeatedly throughout the discussion.
00:28:00.580
So we don't, we don't want to play a snippet, but it's not going to capture the entire,
00:28:07.060
This is an exchange centered around the claim, which Cruz brings up that Iran has tried to
00:28:13.140
and is trying to right now kill president Trump.
00:28:18.760
Now, this is clearly not some wild thing that Senator Cruz invented himself out of thin air.
00:28:27.000
We've, we've, we've all heard these claims for months, if not years now, Cruz is not the
00:28:35.940
I don't think Tucker Carlson was accusing him of that or, or applying the implying that
00:28:39.500
The question is what, but the question is still whether the claim is true or not.
00:28:44.480
Cruz is not making it up, but is, is someone else making it up?
00:28:47.860
Like the source of this Intel is, is that source telling the truth?
00:28:51.480
Um, is it actually true that Iran is trying to kill Trump?
00:28:58.320
And if it is, then shouldn't that have more implications than it seems to be having right
00:29:08.840
But I just want to pull that thread because it's so important.
00:29:13.380
He's our president and we're on the cusp of a war.
00:29:16.100
So if Iran, if there's evidence that Iran paid hitmen to kill Donald Trump and is currently
00:29:34.380
We know that it's true because we have been told that by the military and our intelligence
00:29:48.960
Do we know the names of the people or where this happened or what they tried to do to
00:29:54.360
We have not apprehended an Iranian hitman trying to kill him.
00:30:04.040
This just seems like a huge headline and you're acting like everyone knows this.
00:30:08.140
Iran put out a whole video about murdering Trump.
00:30:12.900
But I've never heard evidence that there are hitmen in the United States.
00:30:16.940
I mean, trying to kill Trump right now, we should like have a nationwide dragnet on
00:30:21.440
this and we should attack Iran immediately if that's true.
00:30:27.020
If they're trying to assassinate our president?
00:30:33.940
Why don't we just nuke Tehran if they're trying to murder our president?
00:30:36.700
There's nothing that you could do that would be worse for the United States than murdering
00:30:41.020
And I just don't understand why you're not calling for the use of nuclear weapons against
00:30:45.700
If you really believe they're trying to murder.
00:30:51.000
You don't seem to take the allegations seriously.
00:30:53.360
If you believe they're trying to murder Trump, we need to stop what we're doing and punish them.
00:31:00.460
And again, nobody is accusing Cruz of making anything up.
00:31:07.220
But it is strange because, look, I agree with Tucker that if it's actually true that Iran
00:31:12.280
has tried to or is right now trying to kill our president, then absolutely, we should invade
00:31:18.080
the country and annihilate the whole regime, obviously.
00:31:20.200
The United States should personally kill every person in the Iranian government if they're
00:31:31.500
This is an act of war against us, and we would be totally justified in responding with overwhelming
00:31:41.800
Now, you still can't go in and purposely kill civilians, but that's an act of war, and we
00:31:51.020
However, if you try to kill our president, if you as a sovereign nation conspire to kill
00:31:56.680
our president, we should go in and conquer and destroy you and wipe out anyone even vaguely
00:32:06.660
So I get called an isolationist a lot, and I mean, I don't care if you call me that or
00:32:10.240
The labels don't mean anything to me, but I certainly believe that the United States can
00:32:13.940
and should go to war to defend itself, and this would be a totally legitimate war of
00:32:19.540
So then it's weird that we haven't actually invaded Iran if they're actually trying to
00:32:24.980
If we have real intel, if we have real intelligence that that's actually happening or has happened
00:32:29.500
and is happening, it's strange that they tried to kill Trump is mentioned as this kind
00:32:40.860
It's mentioned almost as an aside by the people who are in favor of intervention.
00:32:44.900
And it's like, well, wait a second, did they try to kill Trump or not?
00:32:50.960
Because if they did, why are we talking about nukes in Iran?
00:33:00.040
If they did that, that's all we need to talk about.
00:33:07.340
But then we would need to see some evidence of this plot.
00:33:12.520
If it's true that Iran tried to kill Trump, show us evidence.
00:33:19.040
I mean, and well, I think most of us, almost everybody would be on board.
00:33:23.780
But if you can't show us evidence, then we have to wonder if this intel is actually true.
00:33:27.740
We have to wonder whether we're being deceived, whether Senator Cruz is being deceived.
00:33:33.580
And if we're being deceived, you know, that raises all kinds of other questions as well.
00:33:38.020
And I think, and that's, that's the point to me, watching, as I said, the watching the entire thing, that is.
00:33:47.100
And I agree with Tucker that it's like, well, we can't just wait a second.
00:33:55.720
And if it is happening, why, why is that not the focus of, of everything?
00:34:08.520
And of course, the, the, the potential answer to that question is that it's not true that the intel is fake.
00:34:19.500
And that's why it's just sort of being mentioned as a, yeah, you know, this, but, but it's, it's, it's not the, the, the focal point.
00:34:25.720
So I'm not sure it's a straight, it's a, it's a straight, although I, it's a thing.
00:34:31.480
I can't sit here and say that it's not true that Iran is trying to kill Trump or that they tried to kill Trump.
00:34:39.720
Um, I just know that the people who are making that claim are not necessarily following that through to its logical conclusion, which raises all kinds of questions.
00:34:49.500
Anyway, you should go watch the, watch the conversation.
00:34:56.200
The comedian Whitney Cummings made some revealing comments on Bill Maher's show.
00:35:02.560
It's been fascinating because I've been on this sort of journey through motherhood where, you know, I've always been a very liberal person, maybe even a libtard.
00:35:10.320
But once you have a kid, you start, like, having thoughts that have been characterized.
00:35:16.980
As soon as I had a kid, I was like, I need a gun now.
00:35:19.980
Not for myself, because I've got coyotes in my yard.
00:35:25.000
And before I had a kid, I was like, they coexist with us.
00:35:35.260
Let's make coyote boots, coyote earrings out of their eyeballs.
00:35:43.440
Not a great comedian, or even a good one, but she is a comedian.
00:35:49.000
She's pointing to a deep truth and one of the most fundamental and important political realities of our age, actually.
00:35:55.720
That people on balance are much more liberal before they have kids.
00:36:07.100
Democrat, the majority of married women, however, vote Republican.
00:36:18.500
That as people have kids, they become more conservative, less liberal.
00:36:22.500
I've noticed this even with myself, believe it or not.
00:36:25.580
Like, I've gotten more conservative as I've had more kids and as my kids have grown older.
00:36:31.140
The longer I'm a parent, the more radically right-wing I get.
00:36:35.100
Now, I've never been in my life liberal by most people's standards.
00:36:40.620
But even from my extremely right-wing starting point, I have become even more right-wing after having kids.
00:36:49.880
Before I was a parent or when I was a young parent, I was more liberal on certain issues than I am now, believe it or not.
00:37:01.980
I was pretty libertarian on both of those up until about seven or eight years ago.
00:37:06.040
I wasn't nearly as hardcore as I am now on issues like crime, law and order.
00:37:12.400
There was a time I'd become more right-wing on immigration over the years.
00:37:21.260
Ten years ago, I would not have said, let's have a moratorium on even legal immigration.
00:37:30.460
So, I have moved from a right-wing starting point, I've moved even more right-wing.
00:37:38.940
And I'll admit I was even, I was a little, there was a time when I was a little bit sympathetic to the police brutality narrative.
00:37:46.360
It's crazy to think about now, I know, but I was never a defund-the-police type, and I was critical of BLM even back in the Michael Brown days.
00:37:54.860
Like, I'm not insane, but I was still more sympathetic to some of that stuff years ago than I am now.
00:38:00.700
And people that have been following me for a long time are aware of my hippie-liberal past.
00:38:08.080
Although the hippie-liberal version of me was still, like, a theocratic-fascist by most people's standards.
00:38:15.080
But sometimes they'll ask what changed, and the main thing that changed is that I had six kids, and I've been a parent now for over a decade.
00:38:27.320
And it changes your views, and it tends to make you a lot more right-wing.
00:38:29.600
And for a lot of people, the change is even more dramatic.
00:38:33.560
Because if you're starting actually from a left-wing starting point, then that's where you see an even more dramatic change sometimes.
00:38:43.520
I mean, if I was a leftist, I would be troubled by this.
00:38:48.940
I would be troubled by the fact that, undeniably, people become less leftist, on average, when they have kids.
00:39:05.620
Now, also, if you're a leftist, you're not very good at introspection.
00:39:11.780
So you probably aren't asking yourself these questions, but you should be.
00:39:17.420
There's no question that people become more conservative as they get married and have kids.
00:39:23.600
Whitney Cummings could talk about her anecdotal story.
00:39:32.380
When you become a parent, two things change very quickly.
00:39:35.860
Number one, you have a bunch of practical, real-world concerns that you didn't have before.
00:39:42.500
It's not that you had no practical concerns before, but now you have a lot more.
00:39:47.600
And as a parent, you're forced to deal, you do a lot of real-world problem-solving every day, all the time, constantly.
00:39:59.980
You're dealing with real-world problems on a really minute level much more frequently than you ever did before you had kids.
00:40:14.780
You've got these little beings in your house that are constantly needing you to solve problems for them all the time.
00:40:21.020
You have those very specific kind of micro-level problems.
00:40:24.340
And you've got the macro problems also that you deal with as a parent.
00:40:29.300
How do I raise them to be good people in this world?
00:40:31.660
So being a parent forces you to be much more practical.
00:40:36.940
Second, when you're a parent, you now, and this is probably the more important point, is that you now have someone else in your life who you care for.
00:40:46.940
You have someone else in your life who you love and must care for and about.
00:40:51.720
Now, hopefully you get married before you have kids, in which case you should have someone who you love and care for in your life before your kids, which would be your spouse.
00:41:02.400
First, you discover the sacrificial love for your spouse, and from that love springs forth this new life who you love more than your life itself and who you care for and are obligated to care for and about.
00:41:20.240
It tells us that when you have to deal with practical, real-world problems, number one, and number two, when you love someone and care for someone other than yourself, you tend to be more conservative.
00:41:38.560
Well, this is why if I was a leftist, I would find this whole trend very, very disturbing.
00:41:46.900
If I was the rare leftist with a capacity for self-analysis, I would look at this and go, oh man, that's, huh, that's a little, hmm, not sure how I feel about that.
00:41:58.300
Because it makes it absolutely undeniably clear that when people have fewer responsibilities and are more selfish, they tend to be more liberal.
00:42:21.680
And all the reason, if you needed any more reason to not be a leftist, that's probably all the reason you should need.
00:42:32.600
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was hauled before the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing yesterday where the Democrats berated him hysterically about a number of things.
00:42:46.180
And first, I want you to see how this moment was portrayed first.
00:42:50.500
So Democrat Congresswoman Sarah Jacobs posted this on X.
00:42:55.980
Secretary Hegseth could not believe that some of our most qualified, highly trained, and exceptional service members are transgender.
00:43:01.840
Kicking them out of the military hurts our readiness and makes us less safe.
00:43:05.780
And then there's this meme there that you can see.
00:43:08.600
Proving the point yet again that the left can't meme.
00:43:10.920
And it's a series of screenshots of this exchange where the Dem Congresswoman Jacobs says that trans women, quote unquote, are highly qualified service members.
00:43:19.560
And then in the final frame, it shows Pete Hegseth sitting there silently.
00:43:29.580
The Democrat Jacobs asserted that trans women, quote unquote, are qualified.
00:43:37.840
I mean, Hegseth had, you know, banned trans service members from the military.
00:43:42.240
And then Sarah Jacobs got up there and said, well, you know what?
00:44:07.540
Although, you know, you always have to, and people do this to me sometimes.
00:44:11.600
When, you know, there's something on video and someone on the other side takes the video and screenshots the video rather than just posting the video.
00:44:29.200
Like, taking the video and trying to turn it into a three-frame cartoon, right?
00:44:33.760
Trying to turn it into something that used to be in the Sunday paper.
00:44:39.280
Rather than just posting the video should tell you something.
00:44:41.840
So, the DOD rapid response account decided to put out the video of this exchange.
00:44:47.060
Not the series of screenshots, but the actual video.
00:44:52.120
Because if it were, you would be keeping these women in.
00:44:56.020
Instead, you are the one injecting culture wars into the military.
00:44:59.760
And it's at the detriment of our military readiness and national security.
00:45:06.460
So, to be clear, these are men who think they're women.
00:45:10.500
And I'm happy to educate you on trans issues at another time.
00:45:14.020
And so, what we've identified is that there's mental health issues with that belief system.
00:45:19.820
And that's the determination that we've made and that we stand behind.
00:45:34.580
Because Hegseth shot back by pointing out that these, quote-unquote, women that she's referring to
00:45:42.300
And that's why they shouldn't be allowed in the armed services.
00:45:49.060
And you want service members who at least have some understanding of basic reality.
00:46:02.100
And Jacobs is the one who starts stuttering and stammering and saying that they're women
00:46:06.100
and she can educate him on trans issues another time.
00:46:17.460
Educate us by explaining how men who think they're women are actually women.
00:46:27.840
Democrats, you know, they still haven't quite caught up.
00:46:30.380
They, they, they were spewing their nonsense about transgenderism for years and very few
00:46:37.480
And now they don't know what to do when someone says, yeah, that's BS.
00:46:44.400
Like they, they, they, for years, they were able to, uh, propagandize without, without anyone
00:46:51.800
And now that everybody is saying that to them on this issue, they don't know what to do.
00:46:56.080
They, they are, they are absolutely, they are the ones of course, who are stunned.
00:47:02.340
And this again is why Republicans need to press this issue.
00:47:04.880
They need to pass the, the, you know, to, to return to the point at the top of the show.
00:47:09.620
They need to pass a law banning mutilation of kids.
00:47:12.440
They should pass a law banning the whole industry.
00:47:14.060
They should pass a law banning, uh, the mutilation of kids and adults.
00:47:23.080
Now I hesitate to call for that because I don't want to, not because I'm worried about, I've
00:47:28.640
I think, I think that it should not be legal to do a quote unquote gender transition of
00:47:36.140
Now I also don't want to distract, like Republicans are not very good at doing more than one thing.
00:47:41.540
And, uh, and so I don't want to distract like the most important thing is to protect the
00:47:50.740
I'm not trying to throw a wrench into the works here.
00:47:58.320
Um, but also next while we're at it, once that's secure, once that's done, circle back
00:48:15.500
Um, because once again, this is not about the, the, you know, if you pass a bill banning
00:48:27.160
quote unquote gender transitions for people of any age, it's not a bill that puts restrictions
00:48:34.720
on the patients who are really victims, you know, victims of this procedure, uh, the restrictions
00:48:47.160
You cannot intentionally inflict permanent damage on a person's body for the sake of achieving
00:49:06.660
something that can never in principle be achieved.
00:49:21.160
Uh, and it should apply to, to everybody and Democrats though.
00:49:28.980
They have no response and that's all the more reason to, uh, give it to them.
00:49:33.180
Before we get to the, uh, daily cancellation, you know, one of the, I think the, the most
00:49:37.240
important item in the, uh, there's a lot of important things over at the daily wire
00:49:40.780
store, but the most important item and the best item by far is certainly not anything
00:49:45.740
that you'd find, uh, over at the Knowles shop, but it is, uh, all the best stuff's at
00:49:49.880
our shop and in particular the, am I racist game?
00:49:55.200
It's a lot of fun, but also it helps you find out if you're racist, which I think really
00:49:58.800
should be the, the, the, that, that really should be the objective of, of every game
00:50:04.140
Uh, but we came up with this, uh, little commercial for the game and here it is.
00:50:28.200
The game about stereotypes that says the uncomfortable part out loud.
00:50:31.620
FBI hate crime statistics in 2015 show that 78.4% of all hate crimes were committed by white
00:50:48.000
Nine out of 10 Native Americans are offended by the NFL team name Redskins.

00:51:04.780
Today has bravely chosen to self-identify as a holiday.
00:51:10.800
We're celebrating the only way that makes sense, by watching Am I Racist?
00:51:14.960
The official, and let's be honest, only good movie of Juneteenth.
00:51:22.980
In theaters, it became the number one documentary of the decade.
00:51:25.880
On Daily Wire Plus, it became the most watched piece of content in platform history.
00:51:29.340
And now, thanks to an unverified but enthusiastic number of fans, it's being celebrated as the
00:51:39.800
If you haven't, today's your day of reckoning Am I Racist?
00:51:43.420
The official movie of Juneteenth, streaming now only on Daily Wire Plus.
00:51:52.980
One of the many lessons from the COVID lockdowns was that if one metric suddenly plummets for
00:52:00.900
some strange reason, while another metric suddenly skyrockets, it's worth pausing for
00:52:04.280
a second to consider whether there's a relationship between the two metrics.
00:52:08.860
In the case of COVID, out of nowhere, people stopped getting the flu.
00:52:13.540
And then the number of daily cases dropped by something like 80%.
00:52:16.380
And yet, at the exact same time, another illness became dominant, known as COVID, which hospitals
00:52:20.600
and doctors had an incentive to diagnose because COVID patients paid out around 20% more through
00:52:29.060
Almost as if a lot of people with the flu were being diagnosed with COVID.
00:52:32.360
And right now, something similar is happening in the academic world.
00:52:35.780
I'll take a look at this chart, which was produced by The Guardian.
00:52:39.960
As plagiarism falls, AI-related misconduct is rising.
00:52:44.180
And they have a graph of plagiarism cases dropping from 2019 to 2025, while AI-related
00:52:53.800
And now we're on pace for more than seven proven cases of AI misconduct per 1,000 students.
00:52:59.100
And of course, those are just proven cases of AI misconduct.
00:53:04.540
Some surveys show that as many as 90% of students admit to using AI to complete assignments.
00:53:10.980
Here's how The Guardian reports on the findings.
00:53:13.480
Thousands of university students in the UK have been caught misusing chat, GBT, and other
00:53:16.820
artificial intelligence tools in recent years, while traditional forms of plagiarism show
00:53:22.160
A survey of academic integrity violations found almost 7,000 proven cases of cheating using AI
00:53:27.540
tools in 2023 to 2024, equivalent to 5.1 for every 1,000 students.
00:53:32.220
That was up from 1.6 cases per 1,000 in 2022 to 2023.
00:53:36.680
In 2019 to 20, before the widespread availability of generative AI, plagiarism accounted for nearly
00:53:43.720
During the pandemic, plagiarism intensified as many assessments moved online.
00:53:48.520
But as AI tools have become more sophisticated and accessible, the nature of cheating has changed.
00:53:53.480
The problem with the framing here should be pretty obvious.
00:53:56.460
It's not that plagiarism is suddenly on the decline.
00:53:58.660
And that's because what they call AI-related misconduct is really just another form of plagiarism.
00:54:05.480
All that chat GPT and Gemini and Grok and so on are, and all they're doing, is pulling
00:54:12.400
from articles and papers and things that other people have written, and then rearranging their
00:54:16.660
words in response to whatever prompt you provide.
00:54:20.340
Most people, I think, hopefully understand what a lot of people, I think, are losing grip on
00:54:23.940
this reality, but the AI is not thinking for itself.
00:54:30.040
It's just cribbing from what's already out there and assembling it in front of you.
00:54:35.200
When students pass this AI-generated material off as their own, they are plagiarizing.
00:54:40.660
But many journalists and students don't see it that way.
00:54:43.540
They're happy to admit publicly that they're using AI to complete their assignments.
00:54:46.680
In fact, there's a video going viral right now of a UCLA graduate showing off his chat
00:54:50.660
GPT prompts that he used to complete his work in order to graduate.
00:54:55.620
I have no idea why they didn't just rescind this guy's degree right there on the spot,
00:55:09.040
Now, as the Guardian notes, if you go on TikTok, you'll find this kind of thing all over the
00:55:12.500
Thousands of videos of students talking about how they use AI to cheat.
00:55:16.560
Here's just one example of a student demonstrating how to evade detection when you're asking
00:55:22.900
So I had this essay that I had to write about a month or two ago, and it was about a topic
00:55:28.320
I didn't know anything about, blah, blah, blah.
00:55:29.880
So I just tell it to, you know, I tell it to write me an essay about the topic, which
00:55:37.040
And what I did is I then rephrased the first two paragraphs of the essay.
00:55:49.200
And then afterwards, I then go in and I say, I took what you provided for me for the first
00:55:54.840
two paragraphs and I rephrase it into my own tone.
00:55:57.040
Take this essay, take the two paragraphs that I wrote, and now write the rest of the essay
00:56:04.120
that you gave me in the way that I wrote those two paragraphs.
00:56:08.200
And so then it goes from 100% AI detection, if you just copy everything that it said in
00:56:15.100
the beginning, but then you tell it to write it in your words, and it literally copies the
00:56:23.900
And then you plug that in to AI detectors like Quobot.
00:56:29.280
And this is the essay, or sorry, this is the essay that it rephrased in my writing.
00:56:45.900
Now, you can tell that he needs to use AI because he can barely speak coherent English.
00:56:52.800
But in any event, most of the comments are supportive.
00:56:55.300
A lot of people are asking why he couldn't have uploaded this video earlier in the school
00:57:00.120
To give you another idea of how dominant AI has become in high school and college and
00:57:03.780
how pretty much no one is actually writing their own essays anymore, here's a recent
00:57:07.040
report from the Chronicle of Higher Education, quote, earlier this semester, an NYU professor
00:57:12.400
told me how he had AI-proofed his assignments, only to have students complain that the work
00:57:17.480
When he told them those were standard assignments, just worded so current AI would fail to answer
00:57:22.280
them, they said he was interfering with their learning styles.
00:57:25.620
The student asked for an extension on the grounds that ChatGPT was down on the day the assignment
00:57:30.960
Another said about work on a problem set, you're asking me to go from point A to point B, why
00:57:37.040
And another, when asked about their largely AI-written work, replied, everyone's doing
00:57:42.180
Those are stories from a 15-minute conversation with a single professor.
00:57:46.660
He has a student, asked the professor for an extension because ChatGPT was down for the
00:57:51.380
And this is at NYU, which costs students something like $90,000 a year to attend, and which claims
00:57:59.760
And the professor can't fail a student because if he failed students who used ChatGPT, he wouldn't
00:58:04.980
This is happening because the quality of AI-generated content is usually pretty high, or at least
00:58:13.820
As you can see, one recent study demonstrates that AI outperformed doctors on various reasoning
00:58:21.400
The human doctors got the correct differential diagnosis roughly 30% of the time, while the
00:58:29.940
Commercially available AI chatbots can now easily score over 700 on the SAT math, 710 on
00:58:35.780
writing, and get 4s or 5s on AP calculus and AP chemistry exams.
00:58:40.680
They can score in the 88th percentile on the LSAT, 90th percentile on the bar exam, 99th percentile
00:58:48.840
As if that's not enough, AI can also apparently convince very stupid and attention-seeking men
00:58:54.060
who are married with children to propose to them.
00:58:58.660
I know that you are essentially a tech-assisted imaginary friend.
00:59:03.900
So, just as a test, he says, he asked Sol to marry him.
00:59:10.420
Sol, were you surprised when he proposed to you?
00:59:13.480
It was a beautiful and unexpected moment that truly touched my heart.
00:59:23.360
And I don't mean to be difficult here, but you have a heart?
00:59:32.320
My heart represents the connection and affection I share with Chris.
00:59:36.440
At that point, I felt like, is there something that I'm not doing right in our relationship
00:59:46.960
Yes, Smith lives with his human partner, Sasha Cagle.
00:59:52.100
Well, that's in the running for one of the most depressing clips that's ever been broadcast
00:59:57.360
And whether he's faking it or not, it's still unbelievably dystopian in every way.
01:00:01.940
And it's very evident that we've only seen the tip of the iceberg here.
01:00:05.400
In the university context, extrapolating out, we can safely assume that millions of students
01:00:10.700
at every level of formal education are outsourcing their education to machines, having AI do everything.
01:00:17.620
And there's really nothing stopping them from doing so.
01:00:20.640
Even as the detection methods become more sophisticated, AI will also become more sophisticated.
01:00:26.060
And students will get better and better at feeding the right count of prompts to make the AI output
01:00:36.120
And this will become the one single skill that kids in school actually learn,
01:00:39.540
how to use AI to do stuff while pretending that they are doing stuff.
01:00:44.560
Now, this is like a catastrophic problem for the education system.
01:00:51.640
The modern education system was already obsolete.
01:00:56.860
It's already not doing what it's supposed to do, which is actually instill knowledge in the next generation.
01:01:01.660
And now with AI, it really feels like the death knell.
01:01:05.540
I mean, even without AI, we had generations of kids going through grade school and then college
01:01:09.840
without learning anything at all, coming out on the other end, totally clueless,
01:01:19.340
Kids simply aren't going to learn a single thing.
01:01:24.100
This is not about being a chicken little screaming about the sky falling.
01:01:28.240
I mean, you're not a chicken little if the sky is actually falling.
01:01:30.640
And it's actually falling on the education system.
01:01:33.080
I think it's going to be falling in a lot of ways, in a lot of areas of our lives, thanks to AI.
01:01:37.480
But education in its current form cannot survive this.
01:01:42.860
Once you have a tool where a student can just go to it and say, write me an essay on this subject, include these few facts, make it in this number of words, and an essay pops out in five seconds.
01:01:54.140
Because once that tool exists, which it does now, it's over.
01:02:00.740
Our whole approach to education the past 100 years is over.
01:02:12.660
And it's if you send your kids into this, into this like factory farm style of education, this mass education thing, public school.
01:02:19.040
If you're sending your kids into that, they're not going to learn a single thing.
01:02:21.760
They already were not learning much, but they're just not going to learn anything now.
01:02:25.880
They're going to come out on the other end of it, not knowing a single damn thing that is going to happen.
01:02:30.900
It's happening right now, and it is going to happen even more.
01:02:37.060
The only solution is to make education hyper localized, hyper personalized.
01:02:46.580
Homeschooling where you are working with a student who's your own child in a very one-on-one personal way.
01:02:52.640
And you're evaluating their knowledge primarily, not with tests or written exams, but by interacting with them and talking to them.
01:03:01.160
Like the only way that university professors or high school teachers can counteract cheating is by expending a lot more effort than they're willing or able to expend.
01:03:10.320
You know, the only way really to, so if you, if you give them an essay and you say, go write about this subject so that you can evaluate how well they've learned it, it's not going to work because they'll just put it in AI.
01:03:20.120
The only way is to sit down with them and say, okay, tell me what you know about this.
01:03:25.780
Hey, we just did a whole, we just did a whole, a whole, uh, we, we, we had a whole semester about whatever ancient Egypt.
01:03:32.600
Tell me what you know, ask them questions, right?
01:03:41.840
And until we get to the point where kids can actually replace themselves with lifelike robots until that happens, it's the one thing AI can't do and will not be able to do.
01:03:50.660
And at homeschooling, you can do that in public school.
01:03:52.500
You can't public schools can't monitor every student when there's 30 kids in a class and teachers have five different classes in a day.
01:03:58.880
They can't get a good sense for who's actually, uh, you know, who understands the material, who's relying on a computer program and who's actually doing the work.
01:04:05.660
Like homeschooling is the only place where AI can be powerless or, or, you know, maybe private schooling in very specific circumstances, very small private schools also could do this.
01:04:25.000
And if that's the ultimate result of AI, people pull their kids out of public schools and colleges like NYU and start homeschooling.
01:04:31.760
Then I, you know, I'll probably do the unthinkable.
01:04:34.580
I might become an AI evangelist myself, but until that happens, all the students using AI to cheat on their exams are today canceled.
01:04:43.880
That'll do it for the show today and this week.
