00:00:46.500 an important election in Tennessee today 0.99

00:00:50.040 stands a much better chance of winning 1.00

00:00:52.080 than she should,

00:00:53.340 and it's a bad sign for Republicans moving forward.

00:00:55.340 Also, the media continues to try

00:00:57.160 to make a scandal out of the fact

00:00:58.420 that poor, innocent drug dealers

00:00:59.980 are being incinerated.

00:01:01.800 And apparently Gen Z 0.70

00:01:46.800 T'was the month of Christmas

00:01:47.840 when all through the house,

00:01:49.400 everyone was sleeping.

00:01:51.060 Well, even my spouse.

00:01:52.500 That's because we upgraded our beds

00:01:54.800 to a Helix mattress,

00:01:56.340 and now none of our nights

00:01:58.320 are nearly as restless.

00:01:59.880 Even this, oh, the whole thing

00:02:01.340 really is a poem.

00:02:03.600 This whole thing is going to rhyme.

00:02:05.820 Even the children have upgraded their beds

00:02:07.980 and now dream comfortably

00:02:09.120 of sugar plums in their heads.

00:02:11.700 We found the right mattress

00:02:12.980 that brought us the most comfort,

00:02:15.000 and it was easy

00:02:16.380 because of the Helix Sleep Quiz

00:02:18.180 that required little effort.

00:02:21.220 It's like, if you're going to go for the poem,

00:02:22.700 go for the poem.

00:02:23.360 This is an effort and comfort don't rhyme.

00:02:25.840 So, they delivered our mattresses

00:02:27.680 straight to our door,

00:02:28.760 making mattresses shopping

00:02:30.720 feel less like a chore.

00:02:35.960 we were able to try out

00:02:48.000 No.

00:02:50.460 A mattress that slaps.

00:02:52.920 Is that even

00:02:53.720 a mattress that slaps?

00:02:56.020 Is that like...

00:03:19.880 No need to say

00:03:20.960 thank you.

00:03:22.840 1776 was at the beginning.

00:03:24.440 It was the breaking point.

00:03:25.820 The American Revolution

00:03:26.640 was born from

00:03:27.340 150 years of

00:03:28.400 colonial experience,

00:03:29.520 tensions,

00:03:30.040 and transformation.

00:03:30.900 Want to understand

00:03:31.600 what really led

00:03:32.320 to independence?

00:03:33.640 Our ad partner,

00:03:35.380 Hillsdale College,

00:03:36.560 offers a free mini-series

00:03:37.860 on colonial America

00:03:38.860 that tells the full story.

00:03:40.180 Hillsdale College

00:03:40.700 has created a fascinating

00:03:41.940 six-part documentary series

00:03:43.400 where their professors

00:03:44.200 explore the religious,

00:03:45.320 political, cultural,

00:03:46.140 and economic ideas

00:03:47.560 that shaped America's

00:03:49.080 unique character

00:03:50.140 during the colonial period.

00:03:51.380 You'll discover why

00:03:52.360 the idea of liberty,

00:03:53.380 especially religious liberty,

00:03:54.720 drove settlers

00:03:55.320 to risk everything

00:03:56.180 crossing the Atlantic,

00:03:57.500 how early Americans

00:03:58.480 built local governments

00:03:59.520 to rule and protect themselves,

00:04:01.400 and why America

00:04:02.120 became a place

00:04:02.880 where virtue

00:04:03.540 could lead to peace

00:04:04.880 and prosperity.

00:04:05.880 While most of us

00:04:06.560 know the Declaration

00:04:07.180 of Independence

00:04:07.820 as the birth of our nation,

00:04:09.620 this course digs deeper

00:04:11.180 to something even more fundamental,

00:04:12.840 the forging

00:04:13.360 of the American character

00:04:14.300 that made the revolution

00:04:15.480 possible in the first place,

00:04:16.720 and why reclaiming

00:04:18.440 that character

00:04:18.880 matters more than ever today.

00:04:21.200 Best of all,

00:04:21.680 this mini-series

00:04:22.200 is completely free

00:04:23.100 and easy to access,

00:04:24.460 and if you're interested

00:04:48.480 We all remember

00:04:49.400 the moment

00:04:50.180 from Anchorman

00:04:51.160 when Ron Burgundy,

00:04:52.520 played by Will Ferrell,

00:04:53.660 read the words,

00:04:54.460 go F yourself, San Diego,

00:04:55.960 to end a live news broadcast,

00:04:58.300 and even though

00:04:58.880 he was just blindly

00:04:59.800 reading the words

00:05:00.460 from the teleprompter,

00:05:01.300 which had been sabotaged,

00:05:03.160 it didn't matter.

00:05:04.440 Rioters threatened

00:05:05.160 to kill Ron Burgundy.

00:05:07.240 He was fired.

00:05:07.860 Everything changed

00:05:08.520 after that moment,

00:05:09.160 and everyone in the theater

00:05:10.560 understood why.

00:05:12.360 You see,

00:05:12.740 the Anchorman

00:05:13.240 had just said something

00:05:14.040 highly profane

00:05:14.840 about the residents

00:05:15.620 of his own city

00:05:16.440 on camera.

00:05:17.300 It's the kind of thing

00:05:17.840 that you simply

00:05:19.280 can't come back from,

00:05:20.800 unless, like Ron Burgundy,

00:05:21.900 you managed to redeem yourself

00:05:23.120 by saving a woman

00:05:24.100 from being mauled

00:05:24.880 by a bear,

00:05:26.380 which is the kind of thing

00:05:27.200 that would get anyone

00:05:27.900 out of the doghouse,

00:05:28.720 I assume.

00:05:29.460 Now, back in 2004,

00:05:31.280 no one would need

00:05:32.240 to have this joke

00:05:33.080 explained to them.

00:05:34.020 The humor was

00:05:34.780 pretty self-evident.

00:05:36.260 But just 20 years later,

00:05:37.400 it's not remotely clear

00:05:38.620 that this scene

00:05:39.660 would actually land.

00:05:41.500 I mean, for one thing,

00:05:42.040 we don't really have

00:05:42.720 comedy movies anymore.

00:05:44.800 It's just,

00:05:45.100 and it's not just

00:05:45.580 a thing people say.

00:05:46.380 It's true, by the way.

00:05:47.140 Hollywood stopped

00:05:47.660 making comedies

00:05:48.320 right around 2012 to 2013.

00:05:50.680 Now the genre

00:05:51.280 essentially doesn't exist.

00:05:52.560 But more importantly,

00:05:54.160 in 2025,

00:05:55.720 recent events

00:05:56.400 have demonstrated

00:05:56.940 that it's actually

00:05:57.420 very possible

00:05:58.060 for a prominent person

00:05:59.200 to tell an entire city

00:06:00.580 to go F itself

00:06:01.660 in no uncertain terms

00:06:03.460 and then remain popular

00:06:05.180 in that same city,

00:06:06.600 popular enough

00:06:07.040 to potentially win

00:06:07.840 a congressional race.

00:06:08.800 In fact,

00:06:10.040 it's now a viable

00:06:11.080 campaign strategy

00:06:12.000 to look the voters

00:06:12.760 in the eye

00:06:13.220 and pull a Ron Burgundy

00:06:14.540 because as it turns out,

00:06:16.360 insulting the voters

00:06:17.200 can somehow make you

00:06:18.220 more popular

00:06:19.000 than you were before.

00:06:21.020 Now if that sounds

00:06:22.060 hyperbolic to you

00:06:23.640 in any way,

00:06:24.220 then you probably

00:06:24.980 haven't been following

00:06:25.920 the rise of a Democrat

00:06:27.520 congressional candidate

00:06:28.620 named Afton Bain

00:06:30.640 who's running

00:06:32.120 in today's special election

00:06:33.480 to fill a seat

00:06:34.640 in Tennessee's

00:06:35.240 7th Congressional District.

00:06:36.980 This is a district

00:06:37.540 that includes

00:06:38.180 downtown Nashville

00:06:39.120 and most of Nashville's

00:06:40.640 black population

00:06:41.440 along with several

00:06:42.360 Republican-dominated suburbs

00:06:43.760 like Franklin

00:06:44.440 plus some rural counties

00:06:46.700 as well.

00:06:47.440 Now back in 2020,

00:06:48.380 as we discussed before,

00:06:50.340 Bain openly attacked

00:06:51.400 the city

00:06:51.860 that she intends

00:06:52.920 to represent in Congress.

00:06:54.100 She stated that

00:06:54.600 she hates Nashville.

00:06:56.480 Then she went on

00:06:57.120 to name several other

00:06:58.500 specific features

00:06:59.460 of the city

00:06:59.900 that she despises.

00:07:01.600 But the really remarkable

00:07:02.340 part of the story

00:07:03.020 is that having trashed

00:07:04.360 her own potential voters

00:07:05.640 in this resurfaced clip

00:07:07.820 that was not that long ago,

00:07:10.360 Afton Bain

00:07:11.140 has made the conscious decision

00:07:13.040 to stand by those remarks.

00:07:15.600 And in doing so,

00:07:16.660 she appears to have

00:07:17.340 strengthened

00:07:18.040 her political position.

00:07:20.280 She's running in a district 1.00

00:07:21.220 that went for Donald Trump

00:07:22.460 by more than 20 points

00:07:23.840 in the last election.

00:07:25.780 And yet,

00:07:26.000 according to a recent

00:07:26.760 Emerson College poll,

00:07:27.900 Bain is within

00:07:28.340 two percentage points

00:07:29.380 within the margin of error

00:07:31.220 of winning this race.

00:07:32.960 The Republican,

00:07:35.120 Matt Van Epps,

00:07:35.800 is barely holding on

00:07:37.780 to a lead right now.

00:07:39.360 Again,

00:07:39.920 in a place

00:07:40.920 where Trump won

00:07:41.900 by 20 points.

00:07:43.560 Like,

00:07:44.160 recently.

00:07:45.580 Now,

00:07:45.900 before we get into

00:07:46.440 the implications

00:07:47.020 of this race

00:07:47.800 for the Republican Party,

00:07:48.800 and there are

00:07:49.400 many implications,

00:07:51.620 there are some recent videos

00:07:52.820 that we should show you.

00:07:54.740 Without context,

00:07:56.320 you might assume

00:07:57.320 these clips are coming

00:07:58.300 from some kind of

00:07:59.020 satirical film

00:08:00.540 about U.S. politics,

00:08:01.580 like a modern-day

00:08:02.940 take on Anchorman,

00:08:04.400 but,

00:08:05.080 you know,

00:08:05.420 because they're

00:08:05.780 darkly hilarious

00:08:06.560 in many ways,

00:08:07.240 but they're very real.

00:08:08.480 These are very real.

00:08:10.620 Like this one.

00:08:11.380 Watch.

00:08:12.740 I do want to ask you

00:08:13.740 about an attack line

00:08:14.680 from Republicans,

00:08:15.660 because this has been,

00:08:16.160 this is a comment

00:08:16.600 you made in 2020

00:08:17.520 about Nashville.

00:08:18.580 It's gotten a lot

00:08:19.180 of attention in your race.

00:08:20.140 Let's listen to this. 0.89

00:08:22.540 I hate the city. 0.99

00:08:23.700 I hate the bachelorettes. 1.00

00:08:24.720 I hate the pedal taverns. 0.89

00:08:25.980 I hate country music.

00:08:27.060 I hate all of the things 0.58

00:08:28.420 that make Nashville,

00:08:29.680 apparently,

00:08:29.980 in its city

00:08:30.880 to the rest of the country,

00:08:32.140 but I hate it.

00:08:34.240 I know you said

00:08:34.960 those comments

00:08:35.480 were taken out of context,

00:08:37.000 but I want you to,

00:08:38.240 I want to ask you about it,

00:08:39.460 because I'm wondering,

00:08:40.160 do you think it was

00:08:40.560 a mistake to say that?

00:08:44.320 Once again,

00:08:44.820 I was a private citizen.

00:08:46.660 Nashville is my home.

00:08:47.920 Do I roll my eyes

00:08:48.860 at the bachelorette parties

00:08:49.920 and the pedal taverns

00:08:51.020 that are blocking

00:08:51.780 my access to my house?

00:08:53.380 Yeah,

00:08:53.640 every Nashvillian does,

00:08:54.720 but this race

00:08:55.960 has always been something,

00:08:57.200 about something bigger.

00:08:58.080 It's about families

00:08:59.400 across Middle Tennessee

00:09:00.300 that are getting crushed

00:09:01.220 by rising prices,

00:09:02.780 while Washington politicians

00:09:04.540 and billionaires

00:09:05.140 argue about 0.97

00:09:05.920 this type of nonsense. 0.93

00:09:09.880 So, 0.79

00:09:10.640 and this is what

00:09:11.260 the left does,

00:09:11.860 of course,

00:09:12.240 they never apologize

00:09:13.220 for anything ever.

00:09:14.920 They double down

00:09:15.720 on everything always,

00:09:17.380 never admit they're wrong

00:09:18.480 about anything,

00:09:19.060 and it works.

00:09:23.600 Politically,

00:09:24.200 it works,

00:09:24.840 clearly.

00:09:25.100 She can't even muster

00:09:27.160 a single word of praise

00:09:28.500 for Nashville,

00:09:29.080 not a single positive thing,

00:09:30.820 even when it's teed up for her.

00:09:33.060 The best she could do

00:09:33.720 is utter a non-sequitur

00:09:35.260 about how she made

00:09:36.040 the previous remarks

00:09:37.180 bashing Nashville

00:09:37.920 as a private citizen,

00:09:40.020 as if that's relevant

00:09:41.140 in any way.

00:09:42.880 But if anything,

00:09:43.540 that makes it worse

00:09:44.160 because it means

00:09:44.800 that it's what

00:09:45.880 she actually believes.

00:09:46.940 It's something she said

00:09:47.820 before she had

00:09:48.660 an obvious incentive

00:09:49.520 to lie as a politician.

00:09:50.860 She's just being honest

00:09:51.680 about what she believes.

00:09:53.420 Now,

00:09:53.560 of course,

00:09:53.740 this woman knows 0.83

00:09:54.580 what just happened

00:09:55.660 in Virginia 0.99

00:09:56.120 where a Democrat sociopath, 0.95

00:09:58.340 someone who says 0.95

00:09:58.860 he wants conservatives 1.00

00:09:59.820 and their children to die, 1.00

00:10:02.000 just won the race

00:10:03.100 for attorney general.

00:10:04.040 She understands

00:10:04.540 that Democrat voters

00:10:05.360 are motivated,

00:10:06.700 above all else,

00:10:07.320 by hatred.

00:10:08.540 And she's made

00:10:09.420 the calculation

00:10:09.880 at this point

00:10:10.660 that the only viable

00:10:11.660 path forward

00:10:12.340 is to appeal

00:10:13.240 to Democrats'

00:10:14.200 profound disdain

00:10:15.340 for the world

00:10:16.420 they live in,

00:10:16.880 or in this case,

00:10:17.540 the city they live in.

00:10:19.100 Now, to be clear,

00:10:19.640 if she had just said

00:10:21.220 that she hates

00:10:22.500 the bachelorette parties

00:10:24.060 in Nashville

00:10:24.860 or whatever,

00:10:25.700 then that wouldn't be

00:10:26.680 an issue.

00:10:27.520 I would agree with that.

00:10:29.080 If she had just said

00:10:30.400 that she hates

00:10:30.940 the pedal taverns

00:10:32.020 and wants to abolish them

00:10:33.320 and imprison everybody involved,

00:10:35.100 I would wholeheartedly agree.

00:10:37.560 But she explicitly stated

00:10:39.060 that she hates

00:10:40.020 the entire city

00:10:40.940 as a whole.

00:10:42.260 And now she's banking

00:10:43.560 on the possibility

00:10:44.220 that most people

00:10:44.880 living in Nashville

00:10:45.660 also hate

00:10:47.060 the entire,

00:10:48.480 hate themselves,

00:10:49.100 essentially.

00:10:50.720 And frankly,

00:10:51.960 she might be right.

00:10:53.520 In recent days

00:10:54.120 across various interviews

00:10:55.180 with friendly outlets,

00:10:56.720 Bain has used

00:10:57.560 the same script

00:10:58.360 when she's been asked

00:10:59.220 about her many,

00:11:00.000 many other deranged comments.

00:11:02.360 Here's another example.

00:11:05.400 Crime is, of course,

00:11:06.380 also was a major issue

00:11:07.280 in the presidential election.

00:11:09.440 And I know

00:11:09.840 there are some old posts.

00:11:10.680 You've been asked about

00:11:11.380 those old posts

00:11:12.120 a number of times.

00:11:13.100 My question for you today

00:11:14.100 is whether more money

00:11:15.620 for cops on the streets

00:11:17.380 in the district

00:11:18.780 you hope to represent

00:11:19.640 would help fight crime.

00:11:21.620 Would you like more money

00:11:22.700 for more cops

00:11:23.740 on the streets

00:11:24.320 in your district?

00:11:26.880 So those past comments

00:11:28.860 were at a time

00:11:29.800 when I was a private citizen

00:11:30.780 as an activist

00:11:31.640 and organizer.

00:11:32.800 And now as a Tennessee lawmaker,

00:11:34.540 I represent 40,000

00:11:36.000 individual opinions

00:11:37.680 and political thought.

00:11:40.000 So what do you think now?

00:11:41.420 Would more money

00:11:41.960 for cops be good or bad?

00:11:43.140 I think it depends

00:11:46.000 on what the community wants.

00:11:47.720 And so I've worked

00:11:49.320 with communities,

00:11:50.100 at least my constituents,

00:11:51.640 want to ensure

00:11:53.160 that there is investment

00:11:54.280 in their community

00:11:55.040 for community safety,

00:11:56.280 community protection,

00:11:57.160 mental health services.

00:11:59.400 And that's what I'm hearing

00:12:01.100 from at least my constituents.

00:12:03.120 All right, fair enough.

00:12:03.840 Uh, no, not fair enough.

00:12:08.600 That's not,

00:12:09.320 that was not an answer at all.

00:12:11.120 And notice that in this case,

00:12:12.260 CNN attempts to do her a favor. 0.76

00:12:13.580 They don't show,

00:12:14.280 they don't show any of the old posts

00:12:16.100 that they're asking about.

00:12:18.160 They think they're teeing up

00:12:19.360 a softball question

00:12:20.500 where she can safely say

00:12:22.560 without any pushback

00:12:23.500 that, yeah,

00:12:24.720 she wants police departments 1.00

00:12:25.760 to exist.

00:12:27.300 This is one of those issues

00:12:28.320 that especially now

00:12:29.080 that the George Floyd hysteria

00:12:30.380 has subsided,

00:12:31.020 it's something that you'd hope

00:12:32.520 100% of Americans

00:12:33.560 would agree on.

00:12:34.400 It's very easy.

00:12:36.140 But still,

00:12:36.640 even with this very generous setup,

00:12:38.120 she doesn't give the answer

00:12:39.220 that a well-adjusted,

00:12:40.400 sane person would give.

00:12:43.100 Instead,

00:12:43.580 she once again states

00:12:44.420 that she was a private citizen

00:12:45.800 when she made those old posts,

00:12:49.300 which remain unmentioned,

00:12:50.760 by the way.

00:12:51.980 And then when she's pressed

00:12:52.960 on her non-answer,

00:12:53.860 she strongly suggests that,

00:12:55.320 indeed,

00:12:55.600 she still wants to defund the police 0.90

00:12:57.520 in the year 2025.

00:12:59.400 She states that she's going to

00:13:00.780 defer to her community

00:13:02.080 rather than take any position

00:13:04.440 of her own.

00:13:05.960 And then she proceeds to say

00:13:06.920 that her community

00:13:07.740 wants mental health services.

00:13:11.340 So she never says

00:13:12.300 that her community

00:13:13.060 wants to have a police department.

00:13:15.900 And what she's implying

00:13:16.840 is that if the community

00:13:17.520 got together

00:13:18.040 and had like a majority vote

00:13:19.160 and said, yeah,

00:13:19.980 we'd rather not have police.

00:13:21.240 We want to be able

00:13:21.940 to just do whatever we want.

00:13:23.040 We'd prefer if the law

00:13:23.960 was not enforced.

00:13:25.600 She's implying

00:13:26.240 that she would just go,

00:13:27.200 if she somehow had the power

00:13:28.520 to do it,

00:13:28.860 she would just go along with that.

00:13:30.780 Again,

00:13:32.320 it's the kind of answer

00:13:33.120 that will only appeal

00:13:34.640 to you as a voter

00:13:35.400 if you are a deeply

00:13:36.560 disturbed individual.

00:13:38.640 And the more

00:13:39.380 that this woman

00:13:39.980 rises in the polls,

00:13:41.300 the more we have

00:13:42.460 to ask ourselves

00:13:43.300 if that's a fair way

00:13:44.740 to describe

00:13:45.300 the entire Democrat Party.

00:13:47.760 As in,

00:13:48.920 every single voter

00:13:50.140 they have,

00:13:51.060 not just the politicians.

00:13:53.560 Over at MSNBC,

00:13:55.080 a.k.a. MSNOW,

00:13:56.580 the damage control

00:13:58.200 went even worse

00:13:59.060 for Afton Bain.

00:13:59.860 That's because

00:14:00.240 in this interview,

00:14:01.260 the anchor actually

00:14:02.060 put some of her tweets

00:14:02.940 up on the screen

00:14:03.620 to great comedic effect.

00:14:06.220 Watch.

00:14:08.260 Representative,

00:14:09.240 in 2020,

00:14:10.440 you made some tweets

00:14:11.820 that have since been deleted

00:14:13.240 that were very critical

00:14:14.800 of police.

00:14:16.020 You said

00:14:16.880 in those

00:14:17.720 since-deleted tweets

00:14:18.640 that the Metropolitan

00:14:20.360 Nashville Police Department

00:14:21.340 should be dissolved.

00:14:22.060 Another cheered on

00:14:23.500 a teacher's union

00:14:24.300 saying that

00:14:24.840 defund the police

00:14:25.660 should be a requirement

00:14:26.960 for schools reopening.

00:14:28.800 And another saying

00:14:29.780 good morning

00:14:30.440 especially to the

00:14:31.260 54% of Americans

00:14:32.460 that believe

00:14:33.300 burning down

00:14:33.800 a police station

00:14:34.520 is justified.

00:14:36.640 2020 was obviously

00:14:38.060 a very fraught year.

00:14:39.380 Do you still

00:14:40.120 stand by those comments?

00:14:42.060 And if not,

00:14:43.280 is there anything

00:14:43.700 you want to clarify?

00:14:46.340 I'm not going to engage

00:14:47.420 in cable news talking points,

00:14:49.600 but what I will say

00:14:50.320 is that

00:14:50.820 our communities

00:14:52.740 need solutions.

00:14:54.260 We need local people

00:14:56.100 deciding,

00:14:57.260 solving local problems

00:14:58.880 with local solutions.

00:15:00.540 And that's not

00:15:01.500 the overreach

00:15:02.280 of a federal government

00:15:03.160 or state government

00:15:03.940 of what we are dealing with

00:15:06.180 in Nashville

00:15:07.280 and our cities

00:15:08.340 across the state of Tennessee.

00:15:09.820 So you don't want

00:15:11.740 to clarify

00:15:12.180 whether you still believe

00:15:13.680 that the police

00:15:14.140 should be defunded?

00:15:16.800 Once again,

00:15:17.680 I don't remember

00:15:19.040 these tweets,

00:15:19.740 but what I'm saying

00:15:20.800 is that...

00:15:22.360 I'm not asking you

00:15:23.120 if you remember.

00:15:23.640 What is your position today?

00:15:24.820 How's that on this issue?

00:15:27.660 I mean,

00:15:27.980 once again,

00:15:28.680 I'm here to talk

00:15:29.420 about my race,

00:15:30.080 which is in literally

00:15:31.780 nine days.

00:15:35.400 So she's not going to get

00:15:36.380 into those cable news

00:15:37.620 talking points,

00:15:38.380 like addressing

00:15:39.020 the question of whether

00:15:40.200 she supports

00:15:40.780 burning down police stations,

00:15:42.040 which she already said

00:15:42.720 she does support.

00:15:43.420 Does she still support it?

00:15:45.460 Well,

00:15:45.620 it's just a talking point,

00:15:46.720 as in it's something

00:15:47.380 that she explicitly stated

00:15:48.940 that she supports

00:15:50.040 a few years ago.

00:15:51.940 And to this day,

00:15:53.300 she won't renounce it.

00:15:55.720 Now,

00:15:55.860 to be clear,

00:15:56.280 Afton Bain

00:15:57.060 is indeed a real person.

00:15:58.920 This is a real candidate

00:16:00.060 that the Democrat Party

00:16:01.040 is running for a House seat.

00:16:03.040 And they're not

00:16:03.840 disavowing her

00:16:04.700 or even criticizing her

00:16:07.000 in any way.

00:16:09.860 Why would they?

00:16:11.260 Bain represents

00:16:12.100 the mainstream

00:16:12.880 Democrat Party.

00:16:14.980 That's the important

00:16:15.760 point here.

00:16:16.160 If someone says,

00:16:16.920 you know,

00:16:17.280 that they're a Democrat,

00:16:18.540 this is what

00:16:19.600 they're supporting.

00:16:21.720 And they're not doing,

00:16:22.780 because the Democrats,

00:16:23.500 they don't do

00:16:23.760 the disavowal game.

00:16:24.840 Have you noticed that?

00:16:25.520 They don't do it at all.

00:16:27.600 There's no push

00:16:28.440 by anyone else,

00:16:29.400 never mind her

00:16:30.340 disavowing her own comments,

00:16:31.880 which she won't do.

00:16:33.780 No one else

00:16:34.500 in the Democrat Party

00:16:35.120 is being pushed

00:16:35.680 to disavow her.

00:16:38.320 Even though the things

00:16:39.200 that she said

00:16:39.740 on the record

00:16:40.300 are far worse

00:16:42.000 than anything

00:16:42.960 that any conservative

00:16:44.220 is saying,

00:16:45.220 openly calling

00:16:46.220 for people 0.81

00:16:46.600 to burn down

00:16:47.360 police stations

00:16:48.180 is far worse

00:16:49.780 than pretty much

00:16:50.780 anything I've ever heard

00:16:51.820 someone on the right say.

00:16:55.420 Especially when you consider

00:16:56.560 that this is something

00:16:57.460 that, you know,

00:16:58.680 mobs of leftists

00:16:59.660 have shown a willingness

00:17:00.560 to do.

00:17:02.240 Actually go,

00:17:03.060 they've actually done it.

00:17:04.280 It's a real thing.

00:17:05.240 These are not just

00:17:06.220 words on Twitter.

00:17:09.700 It's hard to think

00:17:10.320 of anything more dangerous

00:17:11.840 than having a

00:17:13.000 congressional representative

00:17:14.320 who openly wants

00:17:16.100 police stations

00:17:17.200 to be burned down. 0.88

00:17:20.260 And just to emphasize 0.97

00:17:21.200 the point,

00:17:21.680 the Democrat Party

00:17:22.260 has come out

00:17:22.840 and announced

00:17:23.320 that they not only

00:17:24.740 don't condemn her,

00:17:25.520 but they strongly support

00:17:26.380 everything this woman

00:17:27.040 is saying.

00:17:28.000 This is a post

00:17:28.480 from Ken Martin,

00:17:29.860 the chair of the

00:17:30.320 Democrat Party

00:17:30.840 just a couple of days ago.

00:17:32.420 He said,

00:17:32.940 quote,

00:17:33.120 Democrats are building

00:17:33.980 momentum.

00:17:34.720 We're all gas,

00:17:35.620 no brakes.

00:17:36.160 Let's do everything

00:17:36.640 we can to chip away

00:17:37.560 at the GOP's

00:17:38.220 House majority.

00:17:38.900 This Tuesday,

00:17:39.420 get out and vote

00:17:40.000 for Afton Bain

00:17:41.060 if you live

00:17:42.140 in Tennessee 7.

00:17:44.220 So there it is.

00:17:45.420 The highest levels

00:17:46.200 of the Democrat Party

00:17:46.940 have endorsed

00:17:47.480 one of the most 0.99

00:17:48.040 demented candidates 0.99

00:17:49.060 to run for office

00:17:49.980 in the modern history

00:17:51.140 of this country.

00:17:52.900 They've also endorsed

00:17:53.920 all of this.

00:17:54.760 Watch.

00:17:56.260 Well,

00:17:56.460 I'm currently involved

00:17:57.500 in a transformative

00:17:58.840 justice seminar,

00:18:00.260 and so it's

00:18:00.820 how to imagine

00:18:01.480 a world without police

00:18:02.500 and what that looks like

00:18:03.660 and what community

00:18:04.400 mechanisms look like,

00:18:06.460 how people can

00:18:07.580 not police themselves,

00:18:08.560 but for example,

00:18:10.620 if you experience

00:18:11.240 sexual assault,

00:18:12.480 what is the

00:18:13.380 reconciliation process

00:18:14.660 and what does

00:18:15.180 transformative justice

00:18:16.100 look like?

00:18:16.700 Because as we know,

00:18:17.920 you can't take

00:18:18.680 those things to,

00:18:19.460 our legal system

00:18:21.160 is terrible

00:18:21.900 when it comes

00:18:22.380 to retribution.

00:18:24.660 So my therapist

00:18:25.760 always asks me

00:18:27.480 to transcribe

00:18:29.320 my dreams

00:18:29.900 when they happen,

00:18:31.220 and the recurring

00:18:32.020 dream I've had

00:18:33.040 is standing up

00:18:36.120 in a cafeteria

00:18:36.700 full of women.

00:18:37.620 I don't know

00:18:38.240 why I was there

00:18:39.100 or whatever,

00:18:39.920 and saying,

00:18:40.740 I don't want children,

00:18:41.680 I want power,

00:18:42.800 and just screaming

00:18:43.740 it at the top

00:18:44.620 of my lungs.

00:18:46.380 And for someone

00:18:47.920 who grew up

00:18:48.840 with my mother

00:18:49.520 telling me,

00:18:50.020 never have kids

00:18:50.880 because you will,

00:18:53.340 you know,

00:18:53.700 you'll have to

00:18:54.400 give up a lot.

00:18:55.240 You'll have to

00:18:55.560 sacrifice professionally,

00:18:56.740 which is what

00:18:57.120 she was saying.

00:18:57.720 And where I am

00:19:02.000 now with seeing

00:19:03.980 the consequences

00:19:04.900 and the ramifications

00:19:05.940 of women having kids 0.86

00:19:07.240 and being in the

00:19:07.720 political field

00:19:08.440 and what they're

00:19:08.980 able to achieve

00:19:09.920 because we don't

00:19:11.760 offer, you know,

00:19:12.600 it's like the

00:19:13.160 political field

00:19:13.600 hasn't met the

00:19:14.300 challenge of working

00:19:15.120 moms.

00:19:15.620 They really haven't.

00:19:16.840 But also the

00:19:18.160 deeply patriarchal

00:19:19.520 structures that

00:19:20.720 these women 0.99

00:19:21.280 are involved

00:19:24.820 with because

00:19:25.600 they've chosen

00:19:26.480 marriage and

00:19:27.880 they've chosen

00:19:28.420 to raise children.

00:19:32.180 My therapist

00:19:33.140 asked me to

00:19:34.020 transcribe my dreams

00:19:35.400 and the recurrent

00:19:36.320 dream I had is

00:19:37.180 standing up at a

00:19:37.980 cafeteria full of

00:19:38.720 women and saying, 0.99

00:19:39.420 I don't want

00:19:39.960 children, I want

00:19:40.740 power.

00:19:41.560 Now just by itself,

00:19:42.320 15 years ago,

00:19:43.000 that statement

00:19:43.480 would have been

00:19:44.120 disqualifying,

00:19:45.480 regardless of your

00:19:46.780 politics.

00:19:47.920 And for one thing,

00:19:48.380 she's going around

00:19:48.940 admitting that she's

00:19:49.740 in therapy,

00:19:50.280 which obviously

00:19:51.780 isn't something

00:19:52.480 you should brag

00:19:53.260 about.

00:19:53.640 I mean, there's

00:19:53.920 no reason to be

00:19:54.400 proud of the fact

00:19:55.020 that you're paying

00:19:55.560 someone with a

00:19:56.100 master's degree

00:19:56.780 who has a vested

00:19:57.960 interest in making

00:19:59.000 sure you're never

00:19:59.620 cured of whatever

00:20:00.420 disorder he's

00:20:01.460 diagnosed you with.

00:20:02.660 That's a point of

00:20:03.620 shame, not pride.

00:20:04.940 In fact, in the

00:20:05.400 same country,

00:20:06.460 going to therapy

00:20:07.220 would be disqualifying

00:20:08.620 by itself for any

00:20:10.740 political candidate.

00:20:12.280 If you need

00:20:13.060 therapy, you are

00:20:14.960 not mentally fit 0.96

00:20:16.440 to hold political

00:20:17.720 office or any

00:20:19.680 other position of

00:20:20.420 importance.

00:20:22.080 But that clip

00:20:23.280 gets even worse

00:20:24.080 when she goes on

00:20:24.760 to explain that

00:20:25.460 marriage punishes 0.82

00:20:26.500 women and forces

00:20:27.400 them into patriarchal

00:20:29.060 structures, whatever

00:20:29.920 the hell that means.

00:20:31.560 Maybe she's talking

00:20:32.200 about no-fault divorce

00:20:33.180 laws where women can 1.00

00:20:34.060 cheat on their

00:20:34.460 husbands and then

00:20:35.200 take half their

00:20:35.800 assets.

00:20:36.220 Who knows?

00:20:36.980 Didn't really

00:20:37.360 elaborate, as far

00:20:38.200 as I can tell.

00:20:39.500 What I do know is

00:20:40.820 that there are many,

00:20:41.700 many more clips that

00:20:42.460 illustrate how 0.59

00:20:43.100 unhinged this woman 1.00

00:20:44.540 is. 0.98

00:20:44.920 She also admitted

00:20:45.640 that she follows

00:20:46.380 around ICE vehicles

00:20:47.420 and harasses ICE

00:20:48.440 officers and state

00:20:49.840 troopers, for example.

00:20:52.300 Says she's uncomfortable

00:20:53.060 with Christian influence

00:20:54.160 in the government,

00:20:54.700 and so on and so on and

00:20:55.400 so on.

00:20:56.160 We'll end with this

00:20:57.020 clip, which we played

00:20:58.040 before because it

00:20:58.960 really underscores the

00:20:59.900 extent of the threat

00:21:01.160 that this woman and the

00:21:02.780 Democrat Party in general

00:21:03.920 posed to our country.

00:21:05.200 This was how Afton Bain

00:21:06.960 responded to the

00:21:08.720 massacre of Christian men,

00:21:10.440 women, and children at 0.99

00:21:11.160 the Covenant School in

00:21:12.020 Nashville.

00:21:13.480 In the aftermath of the

00:21:14.680 shooting, she didn't say 0.60

00:21:15.980 she was worried about

00:21:16.920 the safety of Christians

00:21:18.180 who had just been

00:21:19.200 massacred because of

00:21:20.100 their faith by a 0.72

00:21:21.100 trans-identifying 0.99

00:21:21.760 terrorist.

00:21:22.340 Instead, she said that 0.95

00:21:23.660 the so-called trans 0.99

00:21:24.460 community was under

00:21:26.120 attack, even though

00:21:27.300 they just attacked,

00:21:28.340 but they're under

00:21:28.920 attack, and that as a

00:21:30.160 politician, one of her

00:21:30.900 primary goals would be

00:21:32.080 to go after me and the

00:21:34.360 Daily Wire.

00:21:35.220 Watch.

00:21:36.680 So, for those of you

00:21:37.680 who don't know, my

00:21:38.440 partner has a trans son,

00:21:40.340 and the month of April

00:21:43.060 and the final week of

00:21:44.840 March was incredibly

00:21:47.480 upsetting for us.

00:21:49.800 In the wake of the

00:21:50.720 Covenant shooting and the

00:21:51.980 disclosure that the

00:21:53.020 Covenant shooter was

00:21:53.940 trans, I was pulled into

00:21:55.820 a chat with other trans

00:21:56.900 organizers and activists

00:21:57.880 across the state that

00:21:58.780 were fearful of their

00:21:59.980 lives.

00:22:00.960 And third, every

00:22:01.780 legislative session, I

00:22:03.000 promised to carry a

00:22:04.080 trans bill of rights so 0.99

00:22:05.300 that we could push back

00:22:06.220 against the far-right

00:22:07.060 narrative that is being

00:22:07.900 emanated by Matt Walsh

00:22:09.200 and the Daily Wire, who

00:22:10.500 have set up their home in

00:22:11.780 Nashville, and I promise

00:22:12.980 to do that.

00:22:13.520 I promise to fight for

00:22:14.400 our trans community.

00:22:19.360 Well, they did a really

00:22:20.540 poor job of that, by the

00:22:21.560 way, pushing back against

00:22:23.180 the quote-unquote

00:22:23.820 narrative.

00:22:24.100 The narrative that, what

00:22:25.240 is our narrative?

00:22:26.180 Our narrative is just

00:22:27.180 reality.

00:22:28.580 It's what is real, you

00:22:31.340 know?

00:22:31.980 Men can't have babies. 0.99

00:22:33.320 It's reality.

00:22:34.280 But they've done a really

00:22:35.240 bad job of pushing back

00:22:36.380 against it.

00:22:37.900 Afton, you've done a

00:22:38.780 pretty bad job because

00:22:40.120 you've completely lost.

00:22:40.980 We won entirely on that

00:22:42.840 issue.

00:22:43.220 You lost.

00:22:45.200 But the fact that a 0.94

00:22:46.200 woman this deranged and 0.97

00:22:47.600 evil even has the 0.97

00:22:48.640 slightest possible chance

00:22:50.000 to win the special

00:22:50.780 election today in a

00:22:51.780 district that Trump

00:22:52.380 carried, again, by more

00:22:53.440 than 20 points in a

00:22:54.920 deep-red state in a race

00:22:56.260 against a candidate who

00:22:57.120 has been endorsed and

00:22:57.880 heavily promoted by

00:22:58.620 Donald Trump, that is a

00:23:00.540 very, very bad sign.

00:23:02.500 I mean, it just is a

00:23:03.880 very bad sign for the

00:23:05.300 future of the Republican

00:23:06.040 Party.

00:23:06.380 even if she loses

00:23:09.860 today, which we

00:23:12.320 certainly pray that she

00:23:13.240 does, the fact that

00:23:15.280 there was any chance at

00:23:16.540 all that she could win

00:23:17.700 is a bad sign.

00:23:19.380 Over the past few

00:23:19.960 months, we've talked

00:23:20.600 about some major

00:23:21.420 built-in advantages

00:23:22.400 that Republicans are

00:23:23.260 probably going to have

00:23:24.040 in future elections.

00:23:25.040 If the Voting Rights 0.89

00:23:25.920 Act is gutted by the

00:23:27.020 Supreme Court, which is

00:23:27.720 the expected outcome

00:23:28.600 and the justified

00:23:30.280 outcome, Democrats will

00:23:31.500 lose several seats in

00:23:32.540 the House.

00:23:32.840 And as more illegal

00:23:34.000 aliens are deported 0.81

00:23:34.820 and as more people

00:23:36.180 leave failing states

00:23:38.300 like California and

00:23:39.300 New York for states

00:23:40.020 like Florida and

00:23:40.600 Texas, Democrats will

00:23:41.400 lose even more

00:23:41.960 representation in

00:23:43.200 Congress.

00:23:43.620 That's what's going to

00:23:44.040 happen.

00:23:44.280 But these benefits,

00:23:45.520 well, they only exist

00:23:46.300 at the margins.

00:23:48.060 They don't protect the

00:23:49.060 Republican Party

00:23:49.620 against a complete and

00:23:50.640 total collapse of

00:23:52.420 popular support.

00:23:53.480 And that appears to be

00:23:55.320 where the party is

00:23:56.040 headed, given the

00:23:57.580 Democrats are running 1.00

00:23:58.400 complete sociopaths. 1.00

00:23:59.940 I mean, lunatic 1.00

00:24:01.060 psychopaths. 1.00

00:24:02.840 And winning, or

00:24:05.620 coming very close to

00:24:06.480 winning, if today's

00:24:08.180 election in Tennessee

00:24:08.880 is indeed even

00:24:09.960 somewhat close, if

00:24:11.760 this woman is not 1.00

00:24:12.520 completely blown out,

00:24:14.560 then we may be headed

00:24:17.920 for the worst case

00:24:18.820 scenario one year from

00:24:20.180 now in the midterms,

00:24:21.740 which is Democrats

00:24:23.180 sweeping both houses

00:24:24.240 of Congress.

00:24:25.420 And, you know, if this

00:24:26.360 trend continues, that's

00:24:27.160 where it goes.

00:24:28.960 And we shouldn't be

00:24:29.720 surprised by that

00:24:30.260 outcome if it should

00:24:31.260 come to pass.

00:24:32.840 You know, because

00:24:33.400 Republicans in

00:24:34.120 Congress have been

00:24:34.980 so ineffective that

00:24:37.000 they failed to give

00:24:37.900 voters a reason to

00:24:39.180 support them.

00:24:40.960 Now, yeah, the

00:24:41.680 Democrats are a lot 0.99

00:24:42.440 worse. 1.00

00:24:44.200 Democrats are insane. 1.00

00:24:46.440 That's a reason to 1.00

00:24:47.500 not support, that's a

00:24:48.460 reason to not support

00:24:49.580 the Democrats.

00:24:50.180 It's not a reason to

00:24:50.860 support you, though.

00:24:52.200 You got to give people

00:24:52.860 like an active,

00:24:54.260 positive reason.

00:24:55.540 Here's what I am

00:24:56.380 doing.

00:24:56.820 You should support

00:24:57.520 that.

00:24:57.960 This is the point

00:25:00.800 where, as we talked

00:25:01.360 about yesterday, the

00:25:02.060 Trump administration

00:25:02.660 has to step in and

00:25:03.800 take decisive action,

00:25:04.880 any kind of decisive

00:25:05.620 action that actually

00:25:07.120 improves the lives of

00:25:08.280 American citizens in

00:25:09.200 some tangible way.

00:25:11.780 Denaturalize as many, 1.00

00:25:12.800 you know, foreign 1.00

00:25:13.520 fraudsters as you can, 0.99

00:25:15.000 bomb as many drug 1.00

00:25:15.900 dealers as possible, 1.00

00:25:17.020 suspend all foreign 1.00

00:25:17.920 migration, do 0.93

00:25:18.660 something, or else

00:25:20.940 you'll be replaced

00:25:21.540 very quickly by 1.00

00:25:22.480 lunatics and craven 1.00

00:25:24.780 degenerates like 1.00

00:25:25.600 Afton Bain.

00:25:27.960 Today's election is

00:25:29.360 a massive warning

00:25:30.400 sign.

00:25:32.040 The polling alone,

00:25:32.980 you know, makes that

00:25:33.640 very clear.

00:25:34.280 We can either heed

00:25:35.540 that warning now

00:25:36.380 while we still have

00:25:37.980 time, or we will

00:25:40.060 lose so badly in

00:25:41.080 2026 that, as a

00:25:42.520 country and as a

00:25:43.660 movement, it's going

00:25:46.340 to take a long time

00:25:47.020 to recover.

00:25:48.720 Now let's get to

00:25:49.460 our five headlines.

00:25:55.960 This episode is

00:25:56.840 sponsored by Vandy

00:25:57.920 Crisps.

00:25:58.600 Did you know that

00:25:59.220 chips and fries were

00:26:00.220 traditionally cooked in

00:26:01.200 tallow until the

00:26:02.000 1990s when major food

00:26:03.380 corporations made the

00:26:04.300 switch to cheaper

00:26:05.060 processed seed oils?

00:26:06.720 These seed oils now

00:26:07.640 account for about 20%

00:26:09.040 of the average

00:26:09.600 American's daily

00:26:10.480 caloric intake, and

00:26:11.820 emerging research

00:26:12.860 suggests that maybe

00:26:13.920 contributing to

00:26:14.580 metabolic dysfunction

00:26:15.600 and increased

00:26:16.140 inflammation throughout

00:26:16.980 the body, that's

00:26:18.160 where Vandy Crisps

00:26:19.320 comes in.

00:26:20.540 They actually decided

00:26:21.700 to do something about

00:26:22.900 this mess by creating

00:26:23.740 potato chips the way

00:26:24.880 that they should be

00:26:25.580 made, with just three

00:26:26.620 simple ingredients, and

00:26:27.820 zero seed oils.

00:26:28.900 We're talking heirloom

00:26:29.680 potatoes, sea salt, and

00:26:30.780 100% grass-fed beef

00:26:32.140 tallow.

00:26:32.660 That's it.

00:26:33.140 Here's the thing about

00:26:34.900 that beef tallow.

00:26:35.700 It's not just there for

00:26:36.580 the incredible flavor.

00:26:37.460 It's loaded with

00:26:38.020 nutrients that are

00:26:38.740 actually good for your

00:26:39.700 skin, brain, and

00:26:40.480 hormones.

00:26:40.960 Plus, when you eat

00:26:41.940 Vandy, you'll feel

00:26:42.960 satisfied and energetic

00:26:43.940 without the gross,

00:26:44.980 sluggish feeling dragging

00:26:46.120 you down afterward, like

00:26:47.160 regular chips do.

00:26:48.480 100% American-made,

00:26:49.580 made with zero

00:26:50.600 compromises, and

00:26:51.400 honestly, the best

00:26:52.480 chips I've ever had.

00:26:53.540 Vandy Crisps have a lot

00:26:55.000 of great flavors, but

00:26:55.840 worth trying, but their

00:26:56.800 original flavor is

00:26:57.980 personally my favorite.

00:26:58.840 They're all really good.

00:28:12.980 Now, we talked yesterday

00:28:14.100 about the strikes on

00:28:15.340 drug boats.

00:28:16.220 The media is desperately

00:28:17.620 trying to find some

00:28:18.580 reason to object to the

00:28:21.320 strikes, so they've

00:28:22.220 landed on the idea that

00:28:23.840 there was a second

00:28:25.640 strike on one of the

00:28:27.440 boats.

00:28:28.860 The missile hit the

00:28:29.860 boat, and then there was

00:28:30.660 a second missile that

00:28:31.880 killed the rest of them,

00:28:33.500 who were, I guess, 0.98

00:28:34.940 floating on driftwood or

00:28:35.940 something like that.

00:28:37.120 And this second missile is

00:28:38.360 supposedly some kind of

00:28:39.100 major scandal, is the

00:28:40.560 idea.

00:28:41.320 Caroline Levitt

00:28:42.160 addressed this scandal

00:28:44.420 yesterday.

00:28:44.840 Let's listen to that.

00:28:47.420 Excuse me.

00:28:48.120 Regarding Venezuela, the

00:28:49.580 president said yesterday

00:28:50.680 that Secretary Hegsat had

00:28:54.180 denied that that second

00:28:55.400 strike, that reported

00:28:56.620 second strike on an alleged

00:28:58.000 drug boat on September

00:28:58.960 2nd, the secretary said to

00:29:02.080 the president that that

00:29:02.860 didn't happen.

00:29:03.920 But to clarify, I just

00:29:05.120 wanted you to clear this up.

00:29:07.060 In his social media posts,

00:29:08.520 Secretary Hegsat didn't go

00:29:10.140 into details about that

00:29:11.260 strike.

00:29:11.620 He just said U.S.

00:29:12.440 operations in the area were

00:29:13.720 lawful, and he said that the

00:29:15.340 story and media reports were

00:29:16.620 fabricated.

00:29:17.320 So to be clear, does the

00:29:18.660 administration deny that that

00:29:20.180 second strike happened, or

00:29:21.780 did it happen and the

00:29:23.340 administration denies that

00:29:24.480 Secretary Hegsat gave the

00:29:25.800 order?

00:29:26.580 The latter is true, Abe, and

00:29:28.100 I have a statement to read

00:29:29.560 for you here.

00:29:30.520 President Trump and

00:29:31.380 Secretary Hegsat have made

00:29:32.720 it clear that

00:29:33.800 presidentially designated

00:29:35.400 narco-terrorist groups are

00:29:37.260 subject to lethal targeting

00:29:38.940 in accordance with the laws of

00:29:40.800 war.

00:29:41.300 With respect to the strikes in

00:29:43.040 question on September 2nd,

00:29:44.980 Secretary Hegsat authorized

00:29:46.600 Admiral Bradley to conduct

00:29:48.280 these kinetic strikes.

00:29:49.940 Admiral Bradley worked well

00:29:51.280 within his authority and the

00:29:52.760 law, directing the

00:29:54.020 engagement to ensure the boat

00:29:55.520 was destroyed and the threat

00:29:57.260 to the United States of

00:29:58.460 America was eliminated.

00:30:00.160 And I would just add one more

00:30:01.420 point to remind the American

00:30:02.980 public why these lethal

00:30:04.440 strikes are taking place,

00:30:05.780 because this administration has

00:30:07.780 designated these narco-terrorists 0.96

00:30:09.620 as foreign terrorist

00:30:10.620 organizations.

00:30:11.340 The president has a right to

00:30:13.140 take them out if they are

00:30:14.280 threatening the United States of

00:30:15.400 America and if they are

00:30:16.680 bringing illegal narcotics that

00:30:18.780 are killing our citizens at a

00:30:20.140 record rate, which is what they

00:30:21.180 are doing.

00:30:22.060 And under the previous

00:30:22.800 administration, there was

00:30:24.200 enough fentanyl trafficked into

00:30:25.760 our country to kill every 0.97

00:30:27.280 American man, woman, and child 1.00

00:30:29.800 many times over.

00:30:33.580 Notice the big sigh she gives

00:30:35.400 before she answers the question.

00:30:37.020 I don't think you're supposed

00:30:38.500 to sigh like that, but I

00:30:40.340 don't blame her.

00:30:41.020 She was a big, you know, she's 0.97

00:30:45.480 actually very good at what she

00:30:46.920 does, but sometimes something

00:30:48.080 slips way better than think

00:30:50.200 about the contrast between her

00:30:51.420 and Karen Jean Pair.

00:30:53.900 It's, you know, quite, quite a

00:30:56.080 contrast, but I don't know why

00:30:59.120 anyone would want to do this

00:31:00.400 job.

00:31:00.760 I don't know.

00:31:01.120 I don't know how they find

00:31:02.860 anyone to do the White House

00:31:04.660 press secretary to me.

00:31:07.020 That seems like the worst

00:31:09.680 job on the planet.

00:31:12.380 I, I, I, now I would enjoy

00:31:15.480 it under the, accepting the

00:31:20.380 fact, like if I was able to do

00:31:21.480 it and I just knew I'd be

00:31:22.460 fired in a day, let me just go

00:31:24.260 out there, give me a day, and

00:31:25.600 then that'll be it.

00:31:26.980 That would be fun, but to have

00:31:28.260 to actually do the job and take

00:31:29.480 it seriously for, you know, an

00:31:31.480 extended period of time just

00:31:32.540 seems awful.

00:31:33.880 Anyway, so she says that, uh,

00:31:37.860 Pete, the secretary of war,

00:31:40.280 Pete Hexeth did not order the

00:31:43.420 second strike on the boat.

00:31:44.460 Now I've already said that I

00:31:45.940 personally don't really care if

00:31:47.420 they hit the boat a second time.

00:31:50.360 I, I don't know.

00:31:51.620 I'll admit that.

00:31:53.420 I, I think I'm probably not

00:31:55.080 alone.

00:31:56.360 Does anyone care?

00:31:57.540 Well, they hit it a second time.

00:32:00.420 They hit, so I, I'm not even

00:32:03.280 making a legal argument here.

00:32:05.760 I'm just saying I don't

00:32:06.960 personally care and I don't

00:32:08.640 think anyone cares.

00:32:09.740 The idea that one missile is

00:32:11.400 okay, but a second is a human

00:32:13.020 rights violation strikes me as

00:32:14.860 entirely arbitrary. 1.00

00:32:17.660 We want to kill the narco 1.00

00:32:19.080 terrorists, right? 1.00

00:32:20.020 Isn't that's the objective.

00:32:21.120 That's why you hit the boat with

00:32:22.440 a missile. 1.00

00:32:24.140 The idea was to kill them. 1.00

00:32:25.780 The idea was not simply to 1.00

00:32:28.080 stop the boat. 0.99

00:32:29.560 That's all it was.

00:32:30.460 I mean, if you want to stop a

00:32:31.340 boat and you didn't want to

00:32:32.160 kill anybody, then there's,

00:32:33.800 there are other ways of doing 1.00

00:32:35.020 it.

00:32:37.500 Right. 0.99

00:32:39.020 But they wanted to kill the 1.00

00:32:40.760 narco terrorists for good 1.00

00:32:42.680 reason.

00:32:43.820 And so they hit him, you

00:32:46.340 know, they hit him with a

00:32:46.940 missile and they saw that not

00:32:48.560 all of them were killed.

00:32:49.360 So they said, well, you 0.99

00:32:50.040 better hit it, hit him again. 0.91

00:32:52.420 It's like, okay, so, but 0.99

00:32:54.220 so that's,

00:32:55.780 that's way out of bounds

00:32:57.000 that, but if they had just

00:32:58.620 like left them to drown or

00:33:01.480 get eaten by sharks, then

00:33:02.740 that's better.

00:33:03.780 I mean, I don't quite get

00:33:05.840 it.

00:33:06.760 And you, I think you can make

00:33:07.880 a legal argument too, because

00:33:09.040 you could say, well, these

00:33:09.820 guys, they, they, you know,

00:33:11.420 they would have got picked up

00:33:12.480 by the next narco terrorist 0.93

00:33:13.680 boat and then been right back

00:33:16.560 on the battlefield, so to

00:33:17.660 speak.

00:33:17.920 So they're still enemy

00:33:19.560 combatants in that sense.

00:33:21.920 I don't know.

00:33:22.180 I think you can make a legal

00:33:22.860 argument, but all I'm saying

00:33:23.960 is, you know, uh, that you

00:33:27.980 want to stop the boat, but 0.95

00:33:28.900 you also want to kill the 1.00

00:33:29.780 narco terrorists themselves. 1.00

00:33:31.740 If you're going to actually

00:33:32.820 go to war against the drug

00:33:34.200 traffickers, then this is what

00:33:37.020 it means.

00:33:37.440 It means going out and 1.00

00:33:38.320 killing these guys. 1.00

00:33:40.360 And if we're at war with 1.00

00:33:41.440 drug traffickers, I think it'd

00:33:42.760 be perfectly valid to snipe

00:33:44.280 them while they're eating

00:33:44.960 breakfast.

00:33:45.540 again, does anyone really

00:33:49.940 like these people, these are 0.99

00:33:51.300 the worst monster, some of the 1.00

00:33:53.120 worst monsters on the planet

00:33:54.480 that are responsible for 0.95

00:33:56.580 killing thousands of people,

00:33:58.760 Americans, criminal enterprises 1.00

00:34:01.900 that are shipping poison into 0.97

00:34:03.760 America, killing Americans. 0.85

00:34:05.480 Is there anyone who's like, well, 0.99

00:34:06.940 no, that's, that's too far.

00:34:09.480 Those poor, innocent drug dealers.

00:34:12.540 Does anyone feel that way? 1.00

00:34:13.800 No, go out and kill them. 1.00

00:34:17.520 That's the, that's, that's what, 1.00

00:34:18.720 if you're going to go to war

00:34:19.480 against them, that's what it

00:34:20.140 means. 0.70

00:34:21.260 Hit their cartel compounds. 0.56

00:34:22.720 As long as you're, you're not,

00:34:23.860 as long as you aren't targeting

00:34:24.760 women and children, of course, and 0.99

00:34:25.880 as long as you're killing 0.99

00:34:27.140 narco terrorists and not 1.00

00:34:28.460 innocent civilians, then to me,

00:34:31.260 it's fair game.

00:34:31.780 There are no innocent civilians

00:34:32.720 on the drug boat in the middle

00:34:34.920 of the night, right?

00:34:37.680 There's no innocent civilians 0.58

00:34:38.920 there.

00:34:41.500 So, uh, I don't, I don't

00:34:43.200 really see what the problem

00:34:45.860 is, but that's not a legal

00:34:46.920 argument.

00:34:47.260 As I said, that's, uh, the law

00:34:48.940 does not hinge on what Matt

00:34:50.480 Walsh personally finds

00:34:51.580 acceptable, although it

00:34:53.080 should, let's be real.

00:34:55.680 That's how the law should

00:34:56.740 works, should work.

00:34:58.360 I mean, wouldn't that be a

00:34:58.980 lot easier?

00:35:00.960 Wouldn't it be so much

00:35:01.840 easier if we could all agree

00:35:03.360 that the law should just be

00:35:04.680 whatever I want?

00:35:06.480 Wouldn't that be so much

00:35:07.500 easier for everybody?

00:35:10.180 At what point are we just

00:35:11.060 going to admit that?

00:35:11.700 At what point will everyone

00:35:12.720 in America admit that, you

00:35:14.340 know what, the law should just

00:35:15.660 be whatever I want?

00:35:18.440 Uh, but all that aside,

00:35:20.360 what's really happening here

00:35:21.400 is that, and the reason why

00:35:23.460 we're hung up on this, was

00:35:24.620 there a second missile?

00:35:25.560 Oh no, second missile.

00:35:27.240 Oh, what a missile.

00:35:28.640 Oh my gosh.

00:35:30.360 The only reason we're hung up

00:35:31.900 on this is that the media is

00:35:33.580 of course trying to find some

00:35:35.260 way, some reason to object to

00:35:38.220 the killing of drug

00:35:39.280 traffickers.

00:35:41.100 They're looking for a

00:35:42.160 pretense, and that's not easy.

00:35:44.660 Right?

00:35:45.140 In fairness to them, in fairness

00:35:47.920 to Democrats, they're

00:35:48.840 constantly trying to find ways

00:35:50.400 to defend indefensible

00:35:51.780 positions, and so they're

00:35:53.740 doing the best they can.

00:35:54.900 I mean, this is the, you're

00:35:56.180 trying to find a way to 0.82

00:35:56.920 object to killing narco-terrorist 0.99

00:35:59.320 drug traffickers who are 0.99

00:36:01.460 poisoning America, just 0.84

00:36:02.440 shipping, uh, poison into

00:36:05.240 America by the ton and have

00:36:07.100 been doing it for decades.

00:36:10.220 You're trying to find some

00:36:11.160 way to object to that?

00:36:13.620 A thing that any normal

00:36:15.140 person would look at that

00:36:16.100 and say, yeah, oh yeah, of

00:36:17.060 course.

00:36:18.360 Why have we not already 1.00

00:36:19.520 killed them? 1.00

00:36:20.040 That's my only question.

00:36:23.300 Um, so you're trying to find

00:36:24.440 some way to object to it, and

00:36:25.480 not easy to do, and this is,

00:36:27.340 uh, so this is what they come

00:36:28.940 up with, is this sort of

00:36:29.800 thing.

00:36:31.560 Um, they, they have to get

00:36:32.900 hung up on, like, procedural

00:36:34.280 things and technicalities and

00:36:36.320 this and that, and, um,

00:36:38.600 because going out there and

00:36:41.080 saying, won't you think of

00:36:42.100 the drug traffickers?

00:36:43.460 Won't someone think of the

00:36:44.740 drug traffickers?

00:36:45.720 That is not a very compelling

00:36:47.100 argument.

00:36:48.480 It's just not.

00:36:51.040 So they're doing the best they

00:36:52.140 can.

00:36:53.980 Uh, speaking of not

00:36:55.080 compelling, Wajahat Ali is 0.90

00:36:57.580 one of the more vile humans,

00:36:59.680 uh, in the media, which

00:37:01.660 obviously saying quite a lot.

00:37:04.240 Uh, he, he went on the rant, a

00:37:06.060 rant the other day that was

00:37:08.720 gross and slimy, even by his

00:37:11.680 standards. 0.78

00:37:12.940 Okay.

00:37:13.460 Even by the standards of a guy

00:37:15.100 with the moral sense and IQ and

00:37:19.340 personal hygiene of a slug, this

00:37:23.500 was, uh, this was something else,

00:37:25.520 even by those standards.

00:37:26.460 Watch.

00:37:26.680 You have lost.

00:37:29.340 You lost.

00:37:30.400 The mistake that you made is you

00:37:32.220 let us in in the first place.

00:37:33.520 See, that's the thing with brown 0.96

00:37:34.080 people. 0.89

00:37:34.620 I'm going to say this as a

00:37:35.260 brown person.

00:37:35.960 There's a lot of us, like a lot.

00:37:38.720 There's like 1.2 billion in

00:37:40.640 India.

00:37:41.060 There's more than 200 million in

00:37:42.320 Pakistan.

00:37:42.700 There's like 170 million in

00:37:43.800 Bangladesh.

00:37:44.280 Those are just the people there.

00:37:46.260 I'm even talking about the folks

00:37:47.340 who are expats or immigrants.

00:37:49.060 There's a bunch of us and we

00:37:50.920 breed.

00:37:51.600 We're a breeding people.

00:37:52.960 And the problem is, is you let us

00:37:54.600 in 1965.

00:37:55.660 There was a few, there were a

00:37:56.240 few of us beforehand, but once

00:37:57.220 you let one of us in, you know

00:37:59.060 what happens with brown folks? 0.89

00:38:00.680 Our grandmother comes, our

00:38:01.820 grandfather comes, our uncle

00:38:02.840 comes, our aunt comes, our

00:38:04.160 cousin comes, our second

00:38:05.000 cousin comes, our third

00:38:05.780 cousin comes.

00:38:06.540 Then we have kids, a bunch of

00:38:07.700 kids.

00:38:08.060 And then guess what?

00:38:09.200 Some white women, you know, 1.00

00:38:10.340 the Western civilization women,

00:38:11.460 the pure women, the American 0.96

00:38:12.300 women, quote unquote, the 1.00

00:38:13.280 Rust Belt women, the real 1.00

00:38:14.020 women. 0.81

00:38:14.540 They like some of us brown folks.

00:38:15.880 We don't take them.

00:38:16.980 They come to us.

00:38:17.760 So we're embedded.

00:38:18.880 We are everywhere.

00:38:19.960 We are everywhere.

00:38:20.640 I've traveled this country.

00:38:21.380 I'm going to speak as a brown

00:38:21.920 person.

00:38:22.220 Brown people are everywhere.

00:38:24.060 There will be a Patel Motel or 0.98

00:38:25.620 there will be a Desi restaurant

00:38:26.640 everywhere.

00:38:27.440 I want you to realize this.

00:38:28.780 You have lost.

00:38:30.160 Your story is a story filled

00:38:31.860 with misery.

00:38:32.820 It's, it's, it's filled with

00:38:34.060 bland chicken.

00:38:34.900 It's filled with terrible, 0.99

00:38:36.100 terrible dry ass meat. 1.00

00:38:37.580 Your music sucks. 1.00

00:38:39.160 All your culture sucks. 1.00

00:38:41.640 Nobody, that's why the kids 1.00

00:38:42.740 like listen to black people and 0.95

00:38:43.840 their music.

00:38:44.240 That's why the kids love

00:38:44.920 Latinos. 1.00

00:38:45.820 Your parties suck because 1.00

00:38:47.200 they're monochromatic. 1.00

00:38:48.840 Our parties have better food,

00:38:49.980 better music, better looking

00:38:50.840 women. 0.81

00:38:52.220 Now, so this is obviously

00:38:57.000 cheap rage bait and, uh,

00:38:59.880 anyone can see that.

00:39:01.120 I can see that.

00:39:01.800 Anyone can see it.

00:39:03.380 And that's basically all

00:39:04.720 political commentary these

00:39:06.080 days.

00:39:06.460 I mean, this guy is, I guess

00:39:07.400 this was his podcast that he

00:39:09.900 was doing this on.

00:39:12.080 Nobody watches his podcast.

00:39:13.580 Nobody cares about it.

00:39:14.880 No one is.

00:39:15.760 You walk up to a thousand

00:39:17.420 people randomly and say,

00:39:18.660 what's your favorite podcast?

00:39:19.640 None of them are going to

00:39:20.640 say, uh, Wajahat Ali.

00:39:23.860 My favorite podcast is

00:39:25.340 Wajahat Ali.

00:39:28.780 No one's going to say that

00:39:29.780 if they did say that you

00:39:30.540 wouldn't have any, no one

00:39:31.340 else would have any idea what

00:39:32.040 they're talking about.

00:39:33.560 You would think they would

00:39:34.320 have, they're having a stroke

00:39:35.300 or something.

00:39:36.140 Wajahat Ali.

00:39:36.780 What is that?

00:39:37.240 And, uh, so that's almost

00:39:40.140 all political podcasts, you

00:39:41.860 know, almost all the time is

00:39:42.880 just rage bait, which, which 0.99

00:39:44.620 is why the whole space is

00:39:45.580 dying, to be honest, collapsing

00:39:49.020 in on itself because everyone is

00:39:50.560 just clip farming and rage

00:39:51.940 baiting all the time.

00:39:52.800 And I know people will say, uh,

00:39:55.480 well, that's what you do, but no,

00:39:58.640 I mean, I'm just being myself.

00:39:59.740 I, you know, uh, and, and

00:40:01.840 actually I start every show with

00:40:04.240 like a 25 minute written

00:40:05.980 monologue, which is the

00:40:08.360 opposite of clip farming for

00:40:10.120 better or worse.

00:40:11.400 You know, it's the opposite

00:40:13.020 and no one in this space does

00:40:15.220 that.

00:40:15.600 Everyone else is just turning

00:40:16.560 on the camera and speaking

00:40:18.020 extemporaneously. 1.00

00:40:18.900 And I'm the only idiot putting 1.00

00:40:20.720 like hours of writing into 1.00

00:40:23.200 every show.

00:40:24.420 Um, my final show of last week

00:40:27.300 was a 30 minute rebuttal to a

00:40:29.740 Ken Burns documentary.

00:40:31.440 And, uh, so.

00:40:32.560 Now for better or worse, that's

00:40:35.020 what we're doing over here.

00:40:36.220 Anyway, the point is this clip

00:40:38.320 from, uh, Wajahat is clearly

00:40:41.180 meant to provoke a reaction.

00:40:43.800 And when you're a boring guy 0.75

00:40:45.460 with a name that sounds like a

00:40:46.880 Star Wars character, that's all

00:40:48.300 you can do.

00:40:48.740 When you're a bland nobody that

00:40:51.480 no one cares about with a name 0.68

00:40:53.060 that sounds like the bad guy

00:40:54.140 from Dune or something, then

00:40:56.520 that's all, that's all that you

00:40:58.140 have.

00:40:59.260 And yet in this case, I'm

00:41:01.020 regrettably going to give him

00:41:02.720 what he wants because I, I do

00:41:05.240 think that a lot of truth is,

00:41:09.060 well, a lot of truth is said in

00:41:10.860 jest and a lot of truth is said

00:41:12.940 in rage baiting.

00:41:14.880 So that might've been his

00:41:16.040 intention, but he was like, he

00:41:18.020 was saying it to get a reaction.

00:41:19.740 He was saying that he was saying

00:41:20.820 it to get attention, but he also

00:41:23.280 thinks that.

00:41:23.940 So Wajahat admits to several 0.97

00:41:28.100 things here, um, things that up

00:41:30.400 until 12 seconds ago, we were

00:41:31.840 called racist for saying, first

00:41:34.320 of all, he admits that Brown 0.97

00:41:35.440 people basically weren't in this

00:41:37.260 country at all until the late

00:41:38.620 20th century.

00:41:40.240 That was quite an admission.

00:41:42.200 That's not something they will

00:41:43.480 ever admit until just now, but

00:41:46.900 he's right.

00:41:49.240 Because up until now, these same

00:41:50.720 people have insisted that

00:41:51.940 immigrants from the Muslim world

00:41:53.400 and immigrants from the third

00:41:54.900 world helped to build this

00:41:56.460 country.

00:41:58.820 And now he admits that that was

00:42:00.260 always a lie.

00:42:00.940 I mean, I just, wasn't I just

00:42:02.920 in an argument with one of these

00:42:04.160 people, uh, who was it?

00:42:05.700 Mehdi Hassan.

00:42:08.940 And his argument was that, well,

00:42:11.160 Muslim immigrants helped to build

00:42:12.500 the country.

00:42:14.480 And now here we have Wajahat 0.99

00:42:15.820 saying, oh no, actually we just

00:42:17.340 got here.

00:42:17.940 We weren't here at all until a

00:42:19.640 couple of decades ago, until a few

00:42:21.000 decades ago.

00:42:23.400 No, they, they didn't come here. 0.99

00:42:25.020 They didn't come.

00:42:25.520 They didn't build the country.

00:42:26.460 They came here after everything

00:42:27.840 was built.

00:42:28.720 They came here because, because

00:42:30.660 everything was built.

00:42:31.580 They came here because they

00:42:32.340 wanted to take advantage of a

00:42:33.660 well-built country because they

00:42:36.040 weren't able to build up their

00:42:37.000 own countries.

00:42:37.500 And he finally admits it.

00:42:39.300 You know, there were not any

00:42:40.700 Wajahats fighting in the American 1.00

00:42:43.180 revolution.

00:42:43.720 There weren't any Wajahats on the 1.00

00:42:46.720 American frontier, okay?

00:42:48.360 There weren't any Wajahats in the 1.00

00:42:50.080 Civil War.

00:42:50.620 There weren't any Wajahats traveling 1.00

00:42:52.740 across the, you know, American

00:42:54.380 wilderness, uh, out West.

00:42:58.020 There weren't any Wajahats here 1.00

00:42:59.660 doing anything or contributing in

00:43:01.800 any way to anything until like 10 and

00:43:05.100 a half seconds ago.

00:43:05.980 They did not help to build the

00:43:07.500 country.

00:43:07.800 They came here because our country

00:43:09.380 had been built and he admits it.

00:43:11.800 Those are his words.

00:43:13.680 He said it.

00:43:14.540 He admitted it.

00:43:16.100 And most of all, he's admitting

00:43:17.420 that the Great Replacement is 0.76

00:43:18.720 real.

00:43:19.780 So we see the familiar trajectory

00:43:21.880 here.

00:43:22.300 For years, they told us that the

00:43:24.300 Great Replacement is a conspiracy

00:43:26.220 theory.

00:43:27.660 For years, they told us that we are

00:43:29.520 racist for suggesting that there

00:43:31.020 was any kind of plot to replace

00:43:32.560 the native inhabitants of the

00:43:34.040 United States who are white

00:43:35.740 people.

00:43:37.040 White people are the natives of the 1.00

00:43:39.600 United States of America.

00:43:41.800 And they said that there was no

00:43:44.440 plot, like to, to suggest that

00:43:45.780 there was any plot to replace

00:43:46.960 them with non-white foreigners 1.00

00:43:48.660 was racist. 0.91

00:43:49.800 And now here he is admitting it.

00:43:51.980 That's everything he described is

00:43:53.980 exactly what the Great Replacement

00:43:56.300 is.

00:43:57.140 And so we've officially entered the,

00:43:59.780 um, actually it is happening and

00:44:02.060 it's good stage.

00:44:04.400 We know this is how it always goes.

00:44:06.260 First, we, you know, we on the

00:44:07.640 right, we say that something is

00:44:08.860 happening and they say, that's not

00:44:10.380 happening, that's crazy, you're

00:44:11.820 racist for saying it, that's 0.95

00:44:12.860 conspiracy theory.

00:44:14.540 And, uh, and then eventually they

00:44:16.540 get to, um, okay, actually it is

00:44:19.680 happening and it's good.

00:44:22.320 So before you were, you were racist

00:44:24.260 for thinking that it's happening.

00:44:26.620 Now you're racist for thinking that

00:44:29.020 it's bad that it's happening, which

00:44:31.860 is a very different argument.

00:44:33.160 And, um, and he's right, you know,

00:44:38.860 it works exactly as he described.

00:44:41.860 This is why mass migration is a 0.90

00:44:44.100 mistake.

00:44:44.420 It's why third world migration is 1.00

00:44:46.040 a mistake.

00:44:46.420 It's why H1B, H1B program is, is a

00:44:49.380 mistake.

00:44:49.660 It's why it should be abolished. 0.88

00:44:50.660 It's all right there.

00:44:52.800 As he said, we bring in third

00:44:54.580 worlders, um, and they bring in 1.00

00:44:56.960 their extended family.

00:44:58.060 They breed their breeders.

00:45:00.460 That's his word said we were

00:45:02.060 breeding people and, uh, they,

00:45:05.660 which in and of itself, by the

00:45:08.120 way, is not like we should be

00:45:09.540 breeders.

00:45:10.020 We should all have kids.

00:45:11.540 I have six kids.

00:45:13.020 So I'll wear that.

00:45:15.400 I'll wear that, uh, that badge

00:45:16.900 proudly.

00:45:18.920 Um, but what he's saying is, okay,

00:45:23.040 you bring us in and, and, and

00:45:24.900 like supposedly we're here on a

00:45:26.400 whatever we're here to work a job

00:45:28.560 or whatever.

00:45:28.880 And next thing you know, right,

00:45:32.180 there's 20 more because we're

00:45:34.320 bringing in, it's not just

00:45:35.380 breeding.

00:45:36.760 It's like bringing in, oh, now

00:45:38.760 we're going to bring our, the

00:45:39.580 aunt and now the uncle and now

00:45:41.280 the cousin and the second cousin,

00:45:43.460 third cousin and on and on.

00:45:46.700 And they try to turn our country

00:45:48.560 into the countries that they

00:45:49.760 fled.

00:45:50.720 Um, this is, again, I'm just, I'm

00:45:52.720 just summarizing what he said and,

00:45:54.940 uh, and he happens to be right,

00:45:56.580 but he's only wrong about one

00:45:59.440 thing really, which is the most

00:46:02.400 obvious thing.

00:46:03.560 He says that white culture, that,

00:46:05.800 that the, the, the call that, that

00:46:07.380 this is what he's referring to.

00:46:08.660 He's talking about white, he's 1.00

00:46:09.800 talking to and about white people

00:46:11.480 specifically.

00:46:13.620 And, uh, he's saying that, well,

00:46:15.940 we're inferior in every way, you

00:46:19.140 know, uh, and he, the, everything's

00:46:21.900 better for them. 1.00

00:46:22.580 He says white people suck and are 1.00

00:46:25.300 lame and bad and his culture is so 1.00

00:46:27.520 much better.

00:46:29.520 Well, not only is he wrong about

00:46:31.220 that, but he doesn't believe it

00:46:33.940 because that's why he's here.

00:46:38.580 So that's always where it breaks

00:46:39.780 down.

00:46:40.180 They say our culture is so much

00:46:41.760 better.

00:46:42.160 It's so much more.

00:46:42.820 It's so much, it's superior and

00:46:44.180 everything.

00:46:45.400 Why are you here then?

00:46:47.260 Why did you come here?

00:46:48.380 Like, why did you come to the

00:46:52.960 country that was, uh, built, uh, by

00:46:58.400 and large, the vast majority by white 0.97

00:47:02.020 people who you hate and you think 1.00

00:47:04.460 are lame and terrible and have

00:47:05.940 nothing to bring to the table? 0.98

00:47:10.520 Why are you here?

00:47:13.920 And that's always where it breaks

00:47:16.600 down.

00:47:16.840 So, but everything else, everything

00:47:20.720 else he said is true.

00:47:23.680 And, um, and even if he's just

00:47:26.800 looking desperately for attention,

00:47:28.580 which is all this is really about

00:47:30.400 for him, uh, I think in this one

00:47:33.720 particular case, we should pay

00:47:35.820 attention.

00:48:02.280 All right.

00:48:02.440 Finally, business insider has this

00:48:03.880 article, uh, headline is Gen Z is

00:48:06.860 obsessed with renting from dresses to

00:48:09.500 strollers, to wine glasses, renting lives

00:48:11.620 and Gen Zers heads rent free.

00:48:14.440 So the article, uh, unfortunate pun

00:48:17.980 there in the headline, but so the not

00:48:21.020 really unfortunate, I think we should,

00:48:22.260 you should put a pun in any headline

00:48:23.660 where you can fit it in.

00:48:24.520 I'm, I'm a big believer in puns.

00:48:26.180 So the article describes this phenomenon

00:48:28.060 that, uh, that I, I hadn't heard of it.

00:48:31.000 Well, I hadn't heard of it to this

00:48:31.920 extent and maybe they're exaggerating

00:48:34.820 in the article, who knows, but it's, I

00:48:37.540 didn't know this was a thing.

00:48:38.200 The people, lots of people, apparently

00:48:40.400 especially young people they're

00:48:41.500 talking about are renting, not just

00:48:43.780 apartments to live in.

00:48:45.260 Oh, we knew that, but also everything

00:48:48.220 in the apartment, especially clothing.

00:48:51.340 So there are these, uh, clothing rental

00:48:54.140 subscription services.

00:48:56.180 Everybody, you know, everyone has a

00:48:57.920 million subscription services now.

00:48:59.340 And here's another one.

00:49:01.140 It's a subscription service and you rent

00:49:04.500 clothes from other people.

00:49:06.260 Secondhand clothing rentals.

00:49:10.540 So you can wear a pair of pants that

00:49:13.320 27 other people have already worn.

00:49:16.520 That's the, that's the pitch.

00:49:19.760 You can wear a pair of pants that

00:49:21.720 contain, you know, frankly, the, the,

00:49:24.940 the fumes of 27 other people embedded

00:49:28.680 into the fabric, not to get too

00:49:30.380 scientific, but that's what, that's

00:49:33.360 what's being offered.

00:49:34.040 People are also renting apparently

00:49:36.460 accessories, home decor, jewelry,

00:49:39.220 uh, glassware, I don't know, utensils,

00:49:43.180 furniture, I assume everything.

00:49:45.760 Now the analysis you'll hear from, uh,

00:49:47.840 from most people about this.

00:49:48.880 And I think this is kind of the

00:49:49.760 argument the article makes is that,

00:49:51.620 well, the economy is in such rough

00:49:53.300 shape.

00:49:53.480 The economy is in the toilet.

00:49:54.520 And so that's why, you know, you've

00:49:56.520 got, that's why renting has become

00:49:58.820 so popular.

00:49:59.880 This is why Gen Z are, they're a 1.00

00:50:01.520 generation of renters.

00:50:02.560 They rent everything because they

00:50:04.420 can't afford to buy anything because

00:50:06.100 everything's so expensive and, and

00:50:07.680 they're, it's, they're, it's, the

00:50:09.640 economy is in, is in the toilet.

00:50:11.620 But that's not really what's going on

00:50:13.360 here.

00:50:13.480 That's not actually what's going on.

00:50:14.620 Now it is true.

00:50:15.140 The economy is in rough shape.

00:50:16.060 Everything's too expensive.

00:50:16.880 All that stuff is true, but that's not

00:50:20.160 why you've got all the renting going.

00:50:23.800 That's, that's not, that's not why,

00:50:25.340 that doesn't explain this phenomenon

00:50:26.860 that we're talking about here.

00:50:27.800 Because there's no way in hell that

00:50:30.540 renting clothes from a clothing rental

00:50:32.860 subscription service is in any way

00:50:36.380 cheaper than just buying them secondhand

00:50:39.820 or from a place like Walmart or wherever

00:50:42.000 and keeping them in your closet and

00:50:44.480 wearing them multiple times as people

00:50:46.260 have always done.

00:50:47.800 That's the normal thing to do.

00:50:50.240 You know, I have shirts in my closet that

00:50:52.140 I've worn like, I don't know, a thousand

00:50:54.240 times, 10,000 times, and that is

00:50:58.840 definitely cheaper than renting without

00:51:00.620 any question at all.

00:51:02.600 And this is what you see sometimes.

00:51:03.680 You see these, you see this kind of

00:51:05.600 phenomenon, Gen Z, they're renting 1.00

00:51:09.220 everything, and the explanation is

00:51:11.440 always, oh, well, it's because the

00:51:12.580 economy, it's because they can't

00:51:13.480 afford.

00:51:15.020 Well, yeah, but you're doing something

00:51:16.280 that's more expensive.

00:51:18.580 So that doesn't make any sense.

00:51:20.460 What's actually happening is that

00:51:23.580 people are spending more, they're

00:51:30.360 actually spending more with the excuse

00:51:32.080 of a bad economy, low income, all that

00:51:34.200 sort of thing.

00:51:36.200 What's happening is people are spending

00:51:37.760 more on these kinds of things.

00:51:41.220 And they're doing it so they can get the

00:51:43.280 designer outfit and post a picture on

00:51:45.340 Instagram.

00:51:46.200 That's what the point of this really is.

00:51:47.700 They rent the, I mean, the article

00:51:48.860 talked about, they rent the home decor and

00:51:50.480 the glassware and then post a picture of

00:51:52.340 the table spread for Instagram, which is

00:51:55.560 basically the whole point.

00:51:57.780 And it's much, much more expensive than

00:51:59.760 just buying these items and using them

00:52:02.420 thousands of times, as again, almost all

00:52:05.060 people have always done since forever.

00:52:08.820 But the effect is this, and here's why,

00:52:10.740 this is why I hate this.

00:52:13.760 Well, three reasons.

00:52:15.280 First of all, this is consumerism,

00:52:18.640 materialism, wastefulness, cloaked as being

00:52:23.240 thrifty and living affordably.

00:52:25.800 And it's really the opposite of that.

00:52:27.240 And there's a lot of this kind of thing

00:52:28.260 going around.

00:52:30.520 This is supposed to be, oh, well, you're

00:52:31.880 renting it, so it's cheaper.

00:52:33.620 I'm being wiser with my money.

00:52:37.300 No, this is not that.

00:52:39.260 This is the opposite.

00:52:41.060 And people think that just because they

00:52:42.580 don't own anything, they don't buy anything,

00:52:44.340 they only rent, that they're somehow living

00:52:45.900 a more humble and affordable lifestyle.

00:52:47.980 But they aren't at all.

00:52:50.620 And the second problem is that it's

00:52:51.600 performative.

00:52:52.440 You know, this is life as performance.

00:52:55.460 It's about getting things so you can post

00:52:57.240 about on social media.

00:52:58.780 And that's not real.

00:53:00.160 That's not authentic.

00:53:01.020 You cannot be a happy or well-rounded or

00:53:03.180 good or interesting person if you're not

00:53:05.980 authentic.

00:53:06.980 And I don't mean authentic in a kind of

00:53:09.380 shallow, self-help, mumbo-jumbo sort of

00:53:11.600 way.

00:53:11.840 I mean, authentic as in honest, just

00:53:15.080 living a real honest life, which this

00:53:17.340 isn't.

00:53:17.680 And third, most importantly, it's very

00:53:20.480 bad to have so many people who own

00:53:23.320 nothing.

00:53:25.000 And that's where we are.

00:53:26.120 I mean, think about it.

00:53:27.100 Think about the life of someone who

00:53:28.660 subscribes to one of these clothing

00:53:30.680 rental services.

00:53:31.620 And I don't know how many people do.

00:53:33.940 But think about their life.

00:53:37.760 We can assume they don't own the home

00:53:39.300 they live in, right?

00:53:40.940 They don't own their land.

00:53:41.700 They probably live in an apartment.

00:53:43.080 They don't own their car.

00:53:45.140 They don't own the clothes on their

00:53:46.660 back.

00:53:47.700 Many of them don't own their furniture,

00:53:49.460 their utensils.

00:53:50.300 They have a lot of stuff.

00:53:52.800 Okay, that's the point.

00:53:53.640 They possess a great many things,

00:53:56.720 but they don't own any of it.

00:53:59.360 So they have a materialistic lifestyle

00:54:01.180 without the ownership that used to

00:54:03.720 come with that.

00:54:04.260 So it's really the worst of all 1.00

00:54:05.920 worlds to be surrounded with crap, 0.98

00:54:08.440 with stuff, to be incredibly 0.98

00:54:10.580 materialistic, but to not own any of

00:54:13.380 it.

00:54:14.280 It's really the worst combination for a

00:54:16.620 person.

00:54:18.000 Because if you own very little, but

00:54:19.860 also possess very little, well, then

00:54:21.700 at least you reap the spiritual

00:54:23.140 rewards of, you know, an austere,

00:54:27.460 humble, minimalist life.

00:54:29.980 And on the other hand, if you have a

00:54:32.480 lot of stuff, that can be very

00:54:35.520 materialistic.

00:54:36.200 But if you own it, well, then there

00:54:37.660 are rewards that come with owning

00:54:39.720 things.

00:54:40.160 Like, this is mine.

00:54:41.120 I have it.

00:54:41.740 It's owned.

00:54:42.660 This is my thing, right?

00:54:45.260 And depending on what it is, this is

00:54:46.860 something I can pass down to my

00:54:48.940 family, you know?

00:54:52.060 And there are real rewards that come

00:54:53.940 from that.

00:54:55.900 This is the worst of all worlds.

00:54:57.740 And I think this is kind of the

00:54:59.160 disconnect between Gen Z and

00:55:01.320 boomers, because they're always 1.00

00:55:02.760 locked in this debate, this

00:55:04.240 contest, where Gen Z says that,

00:55:08.080 well, they have it so much worse

00:55:09.040 than the boomers did. 0.55

00:55:10.620 And, you know, and then boomers say, 0.99

00:55:12.060 oh, well, you ungrateful brats, you 1.00

00:55:13.680 have the easiest lives anyone's ever 0.98

00:55:15.260 lived, you don't know how good you

00:55:17.020 have it.

00:55:17.920 And it goes back and forth.

00:55:20.000 And the truth is that it's kind of a

00:55:22.160 third option, which is this, that

00:55:25.380 Gen Z are correct, that they have to 1.00

00:55:27.680 deal with things that no other

00:55:29.280 generation of Americans really had to 0.96

00:55:31.200 deal with, at least not to this

00:55:32.080 extent.

00:55:33.640 A country overrun by third world 1.00

00:55:37.120 invaders, they have to compete

00:55:38.860 against the entire world.

00:55:41.380 It's worse now than it's ever been, so

00:55:43.320 no one has had to deal with that at

00:55:44.800 this level.

00:55:46.940 They're in massive debt from getting

00:55:48.900 worthless college degrees that they

00:55:51.680 were, you know, they were cajoled and

00:55:55.580 coerced into getting, and everything is

00:55:58.640 way more expensive than it should be.

00:56:00.220 All of that is true.

00:56:01.220 The quality of everything has gone

00:56:02.740 down.

00:56:02.980 We talked about that last week.

00:56:04.800 Even when it comes to something like

00:56:05.780 restaurant food, the quality, it's like

00:56:07.760 more expensive, but the quality,

00:56:09.240 everything's, it's all frozen food and

00:56:10.860 not fresh and coming off the back of

00:56:13.380 the same Cisco truck.

00:56:16.100 All that is true.

00:56:17.000 And in this, in this war between boomers 0.66

00:56:20.520 and, and Gen Z and millennials, you

00:56:22.540 know, I'm millennial, so we, we kind

00:56:23.640 of, I don't know, we're sort of in the

00:56:25.260 middle of it, but, um, this is something

00:56:28.600 that I think often the boomers are not

00:56:30.280 willing to acknowledge all those points.

00:56:34.260 However, it's also true that boomers 0.97

00:56:37.520 lived much humbler lives for the most

00:56:40.960 part when they were the age that

00:56:43.480 zoomers are now they had less stuff 1.00

00:56:47.380 and a lot less, you know, we talk about

00:56:50.860 how they, well, they could, they could

00:56:52.560 buy homes, you know, boomers, when they 1.00

00:56:54.580 were 24 years old, just got married,

00:56:56.400 they could go buy a home.

00:56:57.820 And, and that's a lot of them could.

00:56:59.560 And that is true.

00:57:00.460 They were not big home.

00:57:01.420 They were not living in palaces though.

00:57:03.680 They were, they were living in like 0.70

00:57:04.860 small houses.

00:57:07.020 And, um, you know, if the average

00:57:11.860 zoomer had to live like the average 1.00

00:57:14.840 boomer lived in 1973, they would

00:57:18.220 probably treat it like solitary

00:57:20.060 confinement in prison.

00:57:22.260 I mean, they wouldn't know how to live

00:57:24.100 such a minimal non-materialistic life.

00:57:27.900 So, you know, you've got Gen Z saying 0.95

00:57:29.940 the economy is destroyed.

00:57:31.120 We have to compete against the whole

00:57:32.080 globe.

00:57:32.980 Country is bankrupted.

00:57:35.000 And then boomers say, Hey, when we

00:57:37.000 were your age, we lived much humbler

00:57:38.560 and less extravagant and luxurious

00:57:40.180 lives than you kids do today.

00:57:42.320 We worked really hard and all that

00:57:43.760 kind of stuff.

00:57:44.660 And then zoomers say, yeah, but you 1.00

00:57:46.080 owned a house and you had a car that

00:57:47.300 was paid off and you could buy a

00:57:49.160 week's worth of groceries for 98

00:57:51.160 cents at a toothpick.

00:57:53.240 And then boomers say, yeah, well, you 0.80

00:57:54.840 kids have TVs and video games and

00:57:56.600 phones and subscription services and,

00:57:58.660 and, and, and way more luxury and

00:58:00.440 material possessions than we ever had.

00:58:03.700 And the truth is like, they're both

00:58:06.380 right, which is the worst option.

00:58:10.200 Actually, actually, I'd rather it be

00:58:12.300 door number one or two, but it's kind

00:58:15.260 of door number three.

00:58:16.560 It's the, uh, it's, it's the, uh, the

00:58:20.000 worst of all worlds really where we're,

00:58:23.600 uh, it, it, the economy is in bad

00:58:27.460 shape.

00:58:27.940 People are broke, but it's also a very

00:58:30.960 materialistic culture and people have

00:58:34.100 many more things than they need and all

00:58:35.600 this kind of thing.

00:58:38.180 Um, so that's where we are.

00:58:43.200 That's the bad news.

00:58:43.980 The good news is that everyone is kind

00:58:45.720 of right in a way.

00:58:47.940 Uh, the bad news is that what they're

00:58:50.700 right about is pretty awful.

00:58:52.040 And I think that that's a very light

00:58:53.480 and, uh, positive and uplifting note

00:58:56.160 to, uh, end on.

00:58:57.940 So, uh, thanks for watching.
