00:01:30.360 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, Hollywood has been on a mission over the past several years

00:01:33.180 to convince our children that evil doesn't exist and bad people and criminals are all really just misunderstood.

00:01:38.560 Today we'll look at the latest example of this kind of slop and I'll explain why it really matters.

00:01:42.840 Also, horrendous hag Jennifer Wells launches yet another attack on Erica Kirk. 1.00

00:01:47.680 I'm really fed up with the way Erica has been treated. 1.00

00:01:49.840 We'll talk about that.

00:01:50.760 Plus, the guy who owns ChatGPT says that he doesn't know how parents manage to raise their own children without ChatGPT.

00:01:58.280 Well, I think I can answer that question for him.

00:02:00.560 All of that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:02:02.460 It's been hard to miss the ongoing effort to rewrite America's history,

00:02:31.720 to cast the United States as a kind of international supervillain.

00:02:35.660 Just a couple weeks ago, we spent the better part of an hour dissecting the 25,000-hour documentary from Ken Burns

00:02:41.140 about the Revolutionary War, which told a flagrant lie, either explicitly or by implication,

00:02:47.680 every 10 minutes or so throughout the course of the very long documentary.

00:02:51.640 And the point of the documentary, of course, was to convince young people,

00:02:54.100 many of whom will be forced to watch the film in public school,

00:02:57.320 that America is a terrible country founded by racist misogynists who stole all their ideas from the Indians.

00:03:04.860 As it turns out, according to Ken Burns, the Indians were philosophers on the level of Plato or Aristotle.

00:03:11.680 You see, when they weren't busy converting human beings into stew or arranging beads into flamboyant patterns

00:03:17.620 because they were too primitive to come up with a written language,

00:03:20.620 the Indians were basically giving Ben Franklin all of his ideas under the table. 0.95

00:03:25.500 Now, correcting the historical record with our own projects on the scale of Ken Burns' work

00:03:29.700 could not be any more urgent, which is why very soon I intend to do that.

00:03:34.880 But in order to understand the extent of the propaganda we're up against,

00:03:39.240 it's important to recognize that leftists are not simply rewriting history.

00:03:43.360 They're also attempting to rewrite some of the most classic expressions of American culture,

00:03:47.880 including films and books that are widely read by children.

00:03:51.740 In particular, there's been a very well-coordinated, well-funded effort

00:03:55.340 to propagandize children into believing that evil does not exist

00:03:59.940 and that any individual who seems to be evil is, in fact, a very misunderstood victim of circumstance.

00:04:07.120 And to illustrate what I'm talking about,

00:04:09.740 I want you to listen to this musical number from the 1961 Disney film 101 Dalmatians.

00:04:15.940 And it's sung by Roger, the character, about the villain of the story,

00:04:20.200 who, of course, is Cruella de Vil, 1.00

00:04:22.360 sung much to the delight of a family's pet Dalmatian, Pongo.

00:04:27.080 And see what you notice about the lyrics.

00:04:30.700 It's not very subtle. Listen.

00:04:32.800 That's it.

00:04:33.520 Cruella de Vil, Cruella de Vil,

00:04:37.860 if she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will.

00:04:42.680 Oh, Roger.

00:04:43.440 To see her is to take a sudden chill.

00:04:46.520 Oh! 0.60

00:04:47.560 Cruella, Cruella,

00:04:51.260 she's like a spider waiting for the kill. 1.00

00:04:55.800 Roger, she'll hear you.

00:04:57.780 Look out, Cruella de Vil. 0.97

00:04:59.560 At first you think Cruella is a devil,

00:05:04.160 but after time has worn away the shock,

00:05:08.720 you come to realize you've seen her kind of eyes

00:05:13.200 watching you from underneath a rock.

00:05:17.300 You're no help, Roger.

00:05:19.040 This vampire bat, this inhuman beast,

00:05:22.160 she ought to be locked up and never released.

00:05:26.760 The world was such a wholesome place until

00:05:30.640 Cruella, Cruella de Vil. 0.96

00:05:36.220 If you're watching the video podcast,

00:05:38.360 the first thing that probably jumped out at you

00:05:40.840 is the quality of the animation.

00:05:44.860 This was clearly put together,

00:05:47.460 drawn by artists who cared about what they were creating.

00:05:50.420 And that's why it holds up more than 60 years later.

00:05:53.800 And it's very clearly superior to the CGI slop,

00:05:57.960 and now the AI slop,

00:05:59.900 that we've all grown accustomed to.

00:06:01.880 And it certainly looks a lot better

00:06:03.280 than the modern remake of this same story,

00:06:05.360 which we'll get to in a second.

00:06:06.480 But the more important part for now,

00:06:08.460 the point that I want to make,

00:06:09.740 is about the lyrics.

00:06:10.660 And he says, quote,

00:06:12.160 if she doesn't scare you,

00:06:13.480 no evil thing will.

00:06:14.840 To see her is to take a sudden chill.

00:06:17.360 Then he compares Cruella de Vil to vermin,

00:06:19.480 says she's an inhuman beast

00:06:21.860 who, quote,

00:06:22.860 ought to be locked up and never released.

00:06:26.480 Now, nothing in the film ever contradicts these statements.

00:06:28.560 They're obviously true. 0.69

00:06:30.280 Cruella de Vil is a genuinely horrible person 1.00

00:06:32.780 in the story.

00:06:34.000 Her goal is to steal puppies and murder them. 1.00

00:06:36.520 It's hard to get,

00:06:37.120 it doesn't get much worse than that.

00:06:38.780 It can get worse,

00:06:39.580 but not much worse.

00:06:40.920 And in her first appearance in Roger's home,

00:06:42.940 she puts out a cigarette

00:06:44.220 in his wife's muffins,

00:06:46.440 which to be clear is not a euphemism.

00:06:48.100 It's like actual muffins.

00:06:49.320 She flicks her cigarette over the coffee.

00:06:51.260 She openly mocks Roger and his home.

00:06:54.720 Watch.

00:06:55.980 Sweet, simple Anita.

00:06:58.820 I know.

00:07:00.340 I know.

00:07:01.780 This horrid little house is your dream castle.

00:07:06.620 And poor Roger is your bold and fearless Sir Galahad.

00:07:11.140 Oh, Cruella. 1.00

00:07:15.440 And then, of course,

00:07:16.560 you have your little spotted friends.

00:07:19.900 Ah, yes.

00:07:22.480 Yes, I must say,

00:07:24.080 such perfectly beautiful coats.

00:07:27.040 Won't you have some tea, Cruella?

00:07:28.580 Now, I've got to run, darling.

00:07:29.900 Now, let me know when the puppies arrive.

00:07:31.760 You will, won't you, dear?

00:07:33.260 Yes, Cruella. 0.58

00:07:34.180 Now, don't forget.

00:07:34.820 It's a promise.

00:07:35.660 See you in three weeks.

00:07:36.980 Cheerio.

00:07:37.680 Cheerio, darling.

00:07:38.700 Now, at no point in this scene

00:07:40.800 or in the entire film

00:07:41.820 does Cruella de Vil display a hint of humanity.

00:07:44.340 So for any child watching this,

00:07:46.520 the lesson is unmistakable.

00:07:48.700 Disney is telling its young audience

00:07:50.120 that evil exists

00:07:51.700 and that some people are so evil

00:07:54.340 that they belong in prison

00:07:56.520 for the rest of their lives.

00:07:58.360 You should not interact with them.

00:08:00.700 You should avoid them.

00:08:02.060 And if you do come in contact with them,

00:08:04.140 they'll try to take advantage of you. 0.95

00:08:05.920 They'll hurt you.

00:08:06.480 They'll destroy everything you care about.

00:08:09.300 They'll defile your baked goods. 0.77

00:08:12.000 They'll walk around your house

00:08:13.700 like, you know, Hillary Clinton

00:08:15.320 from that meme that we've all seen.

00:08:17.820 You know, it's the one where she's in the house 0.89

00:08:19.480 in East Harlem, visibly shocked

00:08:21.100 that it's not up to her standards.

00:08:24.020 They will make their contempt for you

00:08:26.880 as clear as they possibly can.

00:08:29.220 These evil people have no redeeming qualities.

00:08:31.420 They're just a negative for you

00:08:33.340 and for society at large.

00:08:35.000 Disney didn't dilute this message in any way

00:08:38.700 because in 1961,

00:08:40.460 nobody was worried about being called a racist

00:08:42.360 for teaching basic fundamental life lessons to children.

00:08:45.960 And religion was much more important 0.81

00:08:47.420 to most Americans than it is today.

00:08:48.860 A Christian nation is capable of recognizing

00:08:50.720 that some people will receive eternal damnation

00:08:54.380 because they're evil.

00:08:57.040 They don't deserve any of our sympathy.

00:09:00.160 But the modern remake of this film called Cruella

00:09:04.980 delivered a very different message.

00:09:07.100 It was released back in 2021.

00:09:09.540 It completely rewrites the character of Cruella de Vil

00:09:12.740 to make her the hero.

00:09:14.160 And it begins with this origin story,

00:09:16.380 which Cruella's mother is killed by Dalmatians

00:09:18.720 right in front of her while she looks on in horror.

00:09:21.840 This is one of the worst scenes I've ever had to look at

00:09:25.060 in terms of just like the quality.

00:09:26.440 And now I'm going to make you endure it as well.

00:09:29.380 This is completely real.

00:09:30.820 This is like the actual movie.

00:09:33.160 Watch.

00:09:33.640 Before we even get into how dumb this scene is,

00:09:58.740 I mean, just look at it.

00:10:00.440 The quality isn't in the same universe

00:10:02.540 as the animated film that was released six decades earlier.

00:10:06.260 The sky in the background is clearly fake.

00:10:08.600 The weather is clearly fake.

00:10:10.260 The Dalmatians are clearly fake. 0.99

00:10:11.880 Everything is fake.

00:10:12.820 Even the things they didn't need to fake, right?

00:10:15.460 Like the basic physical surroundings.

00:10:17.160 You don't need to fake that.

00:10:18.520 But they faked it.

00:10:20.240 Unlike with the animated film, you know,

00:10:22.340 they're not fake in a way that's visually appealing

00:10:25.280 or interesting or artistic.

00:10:27.920 That's one thing.

00:10:28.800 But these look like graphics that you might see in a mall arcade in 2002

00:10:34.380 or a game on the original PlayStation.

00:10:38.360 There's no sense that any artist cared about how it looked

00:10:40.780 or spent any amount of time on it really at all.

00:10:42.880 And appropriately enough, along with the aesthetic decay,

00:10:46.400 the messaging of the film has fallen apart as well.

00:10:48.900 Now, in Cruella, we're told that Cruella isn't actually a bad person.

00:10:52.260 Instead, she's suffered a horrible personal tragedy as a child.

00:10:55.500 Her mother died right in front of her

00:10:56.820 because CGI dogs ran after her, as you just saw.

00:11:00.000 And we later learned that those dogs were secretly ordered to attack

00:11:03.600 via dog whistle by another character called the Baroness.

00:11:06.360 So Cruella spends the rest of the movie getting vengeance on this person 1.00

00:11:10.360 who killed her mother.

00:11:11.240 But the big twist, spoiler alert,

00:11:12.880 is that the Baroness is Cruella's actual mother.

00:11:15.440 And the woman who was pushed off the cliff by the Dalmatians 0.99

00:11:18.220 was a maid who was told to raise Cruella from a young age. 1.00

00:11:21.400 That's what I learned on Wikipedia anyway.

00:11:22.780 So to recap, in the original film,

00:11:25.560 Cruella is evil and belongs in prison. 0.97

00:11:27.580 Pretty simple.

00:11:28.760 But in the remake, Cruella's mother killed Cruella's stepmother 0.99

00:11:32.080 using Dalmatians who could be ordered to commit murder via dog whistle. 0.89

00:11:35.000 And Cruella was horribly scarred by this.

00:11:36.820 So Cruella plots revenge against her own mother, 0.99

00:11:39.180 has the police arrest her,

00:11:40.120 and then gives some Dalmatians away as a gift to her friends.

00:11:42.460 And now she's conquered her, you know, Dalmatian phobia.

00:11:45.960 In other words, moral clarity, not to mention narrative clarity,

00:11:49.500 is completely absent from the remake.

00:11:53.500 The message for children in the remake is what exactly?

00:11:57.380 Is the message that your mother may not actually be your mother?

00:12:01.080 Maybe she's a secret murderer. 1.00

00:12:02.460 Or maybe the message is that evil characters

00:12:04.240 who are literally named the cruel devil are actually misunderstood.

00:12:07.860 Like the people who every indication is that they're evil.

00:12:13.920 Everything you see right down to the name is that they're evil.

00:12:17.800 They might still just be misunderstood.

00:12:20.240 Maybe they've simply internalized a lot of emotional trauma

00:12:23.000 from freak accidents that occurred in their past.

00:12:27.460 Now, when this film came out,

00:12:28.800 it was tempting to dismiss it as a terrible film,

00:12:30.940 which it is,

00:12:31.960 and move on with your life.

00:12:33.700 And that's what most people did.

00:12:37.340 And justifiably so.

00:12:39.240 But it's actually part of a much larger trend.

00:12:42.560 And it's a trend that does matter.

00:12:45.060 Because culture matters.

00:12:46.540 And this stuff matters.

00:12:48.860 And for the past decade or so,

00:12:51.460 Hollywood has continued to follow this exact template.

00:12:55.100 They've taken an obviously unequivocally evil classic character,

00:12:59.340 and then they come out with a new film or show,

00:13:01.820 which makes the case that actually that character was the good guy all along.

00:13:04.580 I mean, this stuff is all over the place,

00:13:05.880 especially with kids' shows and movies.

00:13:08.380 All over the place.

00:13:10.200 The most recent example of this tactic

00:13:11.820 is the upcoming animated film Steps,

00:13:14.600 which is due out next year from Netflix, apparently.

00:13:17.560 It was just announced.

00:13:19.140 And here's how Netflix's official promotional blog

00:13:21.480 describes the idea behind this film.

00:13:23.300 This is a pitch that feels like it was produced by ChatGPT,

00:13:26.300 almost certainly was.

00:13:27.320 And then Netflix just hit the green light

00:13:30.420 without making any revisions whatsoever.

00:13:32.500 So here it is.

00:13:33.820 Quote,

00:13:34.580 Think you know Cinderella's evil stepsisters? 1.00

00:13:37.040 Think again.

00:13:38.140 When misunderstood Lilith is blamed for hijacking the royal ball 0.99

00:13:41.740 with a stolen magic wand,

00:13:43.680 she accidentally turns her sister Margo into a frog 1.00

00:13:46.320 and allows the kingdom to fall into the hands

00:13:48.360 of a prince-obsessed mean girl.

00:13:50.700 Now Lilith must team up with Cinderella 1.00

00:13:52.580 and a surprisingly dreamy troll

00:13:54.480 to save the kingdom,

00:13:55.780 repair the fractured fairy tale,

00:13:57.440 and prove that even so-called villains

00:13:59.640 deserve a shot at happily ever after.

00:14:03.000 So, the villains are actually good.

00:14:05.860 They don't deserve to spend the rest of their lives in prison.

00:14:08.640 They're not vermin.

00:14:09.420 They're not bad people.

00:14:10.720 They deserve a shot at happily ever after,

00:14:12.880 no matter what they've done.

00:14:14.860 And the new villain to take the place of the stepsisters 1.00

00:14:17.240 is a prince-obsessed mean girl,

00:14:19.280 because that's the other thing, of course,

00:14:20.180 we see now in these shows, especially ones for girls,

00:14:23.440 is that, you know, it used to be that the princess

00:14:25.080 wanted to meet a prince,

00:14:26.940 and now the princess either doesn't care about 1.00

00:14:29.740 meeting a prince,

00:14:31.140 or if anyone wants to meet a prince

00:14:32.780 in the movie now,

00:14:34.660 it's going to be the bad guy.

00:14:37.780 And for her part,

00:14:38.740 Cinderella has teamed up with a surprisingly dreamy troll,

00:14:41.780 so they're really sticking it to the patriarchy,

00:14:43.400 in other words.

00:14:43.920 It's a bit like that Snow White remake

00:14:46.240 that nobody watched,

00:14:47.080 where Rachel Ziegler describes Snow White

00:14:48.920 as a strong, independent woman

00:14:50.240 who doesn't need a prince

00:14:51.460 and all that kind of stuff.

00:14:52.820 This is the kind of assembly line script writing

00:14:54.940 that for the past decade

00:14:55.960 has defined pretty much

00:14:58.100 every major Hollywood remake of a classic,

00:15:00.900 and every time they do it,

00:15:03.420 these filmmakers convince themselves

00:15:05.760 that they're doing something brave

00:15:07.340 and transgressive.

00:15:09.960 Here's a quote from the director

00:15:11.220 of this new Netflix Cinderella movie, quote,

00:15:13.060 This story is, at its core,

00:15:14.580 about two very different sisters,

00:15:16.020 one who fits perfectly

00:15:16.880 into this fairytale kingdom,

00:15:18.460 and one who doesn't,

00:15:19.300 realizing they're more alike than different.

00:15:21.100 It's such a personal story for me

00:15:22.940 because growing up as an awkward,

00:15:24.420 artsy, Taiwanese kid in suburban New Jersey

00:15:27.260 often felt like an outsider,

00:15:28.900 like happily ever after wasn't meant for me.

00:15:31.540 I wanted to create a film for everyone

00:15:32.880 who has ever felt like they didn't belong

00:15:34.400 and show how a single act of kindness

00:15:36.380 can change everything.

00:15:39.220 Now, the most obvious response to this, of course,

00:15:41.020 is that this particular Netflix director,

00:15:42.760 or a woman who, according to our website,

00:15:44.980 specializes in classical piano, ballet,

00:15:47.960 fine art, classical violin,

00:15:49.440 graphic design, and more,

00:15:51.340 is a pathological narcissist. 0.86

00:15:52.740 She's convinced herself that she's a victim

00:15:54.580 because she was awkward and artsy, 0.58

00:15:57.540 whatever that means.

00:15:58.780 Apparently, we're supposed to believe

00:15:59.800 that rich Taiwanese kids 0.99

00:16:01.700 in suburban New Jersey

00:16:03.160 are an oppressed demographic.

00:16:06.180 And now, as a result of that oppression,

00:16:08.480 she's going to force Netflix subscribers 1.00

00:16:10.060 to watch her personal story,

00:16:11.740 even though she's not working on a documentary

00:16:13.940 or biography about her own life.

00:16:15.220 She's making a Cinderella movie, allegedly.

00:16:17.680 But really, this director's job

00:16:18.940 is not to create anything.

00:16:20.180 Her job is to erase the Cinderella story 1.00

00:16:22.040 that everybody's familiar with.

00:16:23.660 The one where the stepsisters

00:16:24.840 are really bad people.

00:16:27.140 And at one point, lest we forget,

00:16:29.140 the stepsisters destroyed Cinderella's dress

00:16:31.400 and assaulted her

00:16:32.220 to the delight of Lady Tremaine,

00:16:33.980 the stepmother.

00:16:35.340 Watch.

00:16:35.600 They're very clever.

00:16:40.100 These beads,

00:16:41.800 they give it just the right touch.

00:16:45.120 Don't you think so, Drizella?

00:16:47.700 No, I don't.

00:16:48.540 I think she's...

00:16:50.140 Why, you little thief!

00:16:53.240 They're my beads!

00:16:54.820 Give them hair! 1.00

00:16:55.780 Oh, no!

00:16:56.600 Oh, and look! 0.68

00:16:57.480 That's my sash wearing my sash.

00:16:59.380 She can't! 0.89

00:16:59.940 You wouldn't!

00:17:00.500 Oh, hold on!

00:17:01.920 Please, stop!

00:17:03.360 They're my ribbons!

00:17:04.440 Please, please, please!

00:17:06.040 Take a kiss with me!

00:17:07.040 You are straight from the...

00:17:08.340 Girls, girls.

00:17:10.880 That's quite enough.

00:17:12.640 Hurry along now, both of you.

00:17:14.800 I won't have you upsetting yourselves.

00:17:22.000 Now, as a kid in the 1950s,

00:17:23.500 if you saw this,

00:17:25.040 you'd recognize that the stepmother 0.88

00:17:26.380 and the stepsisters are not good people. 1.00

00:17:28.400 And the film doesn't suggest otherwise

00:17:30.580 at any point.

00:17:31.220 There are no excuses for their behavior.

00:17:32.660 There's no sob story about how Dalmatians

00:17:35.060 murdered her mother or something.

00:17:36.960 They're just bad people.

00:17:38.780 In the end, they lose.

00:17:39.980 And that's a moment to celebrate

00:17:41.060 because it's good when bad people lose.

00:17:44.420 When you make Cinderella a story

00:17:46.260 about how the evil stepsisters 0.72

00:17:47.680 really aren't so bad,

00:17:48.840 and in fact,

00:17:49.400 how they're really the heroes of the story,

00:17:51.260 then you aren't simply producing

00:17:52.220 another generic DEI slop fest,

00:17:54.220 although you're doing that.

00:17:55.680 You're also trying to confuse children

00:17:58.100 about good and evil,

00:17:59.060 and you're trying to erase

00:18:00.040 the Christian themes

00:18:01.140 of the Cinderella story,

00:18:02.480 which were especially evident

00:18:04.040 in the Grimm brothers' version

00:18:06.420 of the story in the 1800s.

00:18:08.160 In that version,

00:18:10.480 the stepsisters suffered

00:18:11.600 a biblical Old Testament-style punishment

00:18:14.760 in the end.

00:18:15.640 Quote,

00:18:16.280 In the end, during the wedding,

00:18:17.260 as she walks down the aisle

00:18:18.100 with her stepsisters

00:18:18.760 as her bridesmaid,

00:18:19.880 the doves fly down

00:18:20.980 and strike the two stepsisters' eyes, 0.99

00:18:23.700 one in the left

00:18:24.280 and the other in the right.

00:18:25.040 When the wedding comes to an end

00:18:26.440 and they march out of the church,

00:18:29.660 the doves fly again,

00:18:31.400 striking the remaining eyes

00:18:32.480 of the two evil sisters blind,

00:18:35.000 a punishment they had to endure

00:18:36.400 for the rest of their lives.

00:18:39.620 This is the way that it worked

00:18:40.740 in old fairy tales, by the way.

00:18:42.480 The villains were very evil,

00:18:44.640 and in the end,

00:18:46.220 very terribly bad things happened

00:18:48.000 to the very terribly evil people.

00:18:51.260 Now, in the Disney version,

00:18:52.140 the ending wasn't quite so graphic,

00:18:53.960 at least for my,

00:18:54.500 it's been a while since I've seen it.

00:18:55.600 I don't think that anybody

00:18:56.400 was blinded by a dove

00:18:58.400 pecking their eyeballs out. 0.67

00:19:00.360 So they dialed down

00:19:01.520 the Old Testament references

00:19:02.520 a little bit,

00:19:03.040 but even so,

00:19:03.760 the stepsisters did not win in the end. 0.81

00:19:06.080 But now,

00:19:06.460 less than a century later,

00:19:08.180 Netflix has decided

00:19:09.160 that the stepsisters are

00:19:10.520 indeed the heroes.

00:19:12.200 They deserve a shot

00:19:13.180 at happily ever after,

00:19:14.320 we're told.

00:19:15.820 Now, imagine being a child

00:19:17.080 raised in a culture

00:19:17.960 where everything,

00:19:20.460 including basic biology,

00:19:22.140 fundamental tenets

00:19:23.780 of morality and Christianity,

00:19:25.800 everything is subjective.

00:19:28.440 You know,

00:19:28.600 that really is the point here.

00:19:29.760 The idea is to convince

00:19:30.900 the youth

00:19:32.540 that evil

00:19:34.000 is not a legitimate concept

00:19:35.660 so that they can

00:19:37.340 indoctrinate them

00:19:38.220 into supporting

00:19:38.940 and committing

00:19:39.780 acts of evil.

00:19:41.920 If you convince people

00:19:43.080 evil doesn't exist,

00:19:44.620 then generally,

00:19:45.860 they start doing evil things.

00:19:48.960 Now, works that have

00:19:50.060 overt Christian 0.62

00:19:51.060 and right-coded themes

00:19:52.180 are particularly under attack.

00:19:53.620 Take the Rings of Power

00:19:54.680 series by Amazon.

00:19:55.800 I haven't seen it,

00:19:56.820 but from what I can tell,

00:19:58.440 the show has decided

00:19:59.400 to portray the orcs

00:20:00.880 as sympathetic figures,

00:20:02.520 even though Tolkien

00:20:03.520 did the exact opposite

00:20:04.920 for a reason.

00:20:06.780 Like, these were

00:20:07.280 embodiments of evil.

00:20:09.180 This is from a website

00:20:09.920 called Bounding

00:20:10.600 Into Comics,

00:20:11.360 quote,

00:20:11.520 in the opinion

00:20:11.960 of the Lord of the Rings,

00:20:13.020 the Rings of Power

00:20:13.680 showrunners,

00:20:14.420 their season two decision

00:20:15.260 to humanize

00:20:16.160 the Dark Lord's

00:20:17.160 orc armies

00:20:17.800 is far from controversial

00:20:19.780 because not only

00:20:20.520 does the change

00:20:21.100 provide better opportunities

00:20:22.220 for storytelling,

00:20:23.260 but it also falls directly

00:20:24.320 in line with Tolkien's writings.

00:20:26.280 The orcs in the Rings of Power

00:20:27.280 are shown as brutal

00:20:28.140 but oppressed foot soldiers,

00:20:29.960 their lives concerned

00:20:30.780 not just with war

00:20:31.620 and pillaging,

00:20:32.420 but also achieving a future

00:20:33.500 where their families

00:20:34.260 can exist

00:20:34.900 as more than tools

00:20:36.420 for Lord Sauron

00:20:37.680 to use in service

00:20:38.720 of his ambitions.

00:20:39.500 So they're claiming

00:20:41.600 that Tolkien

00:20:42.260 would have humanized

00:20:44.540 the orcs,

00:20:45.240 but he just

00:20:46.460 never got around

00:20:47.700 to doing it.

00:20:48.700 I don't know,

00:20:49.360 he wrote like

00:20:50.280 10 million words

00:20:52.000 about this story

00:20:54.580 when you take

00:20:55.720 all the books

00:20:56.940 and all the other works

00:20:57.840 related to it

00:20:58.520 into account

00:20:59.080 and he just never,

00:21:00.060 he meant to do that,

00:21:01.120 he just didn't.

00:21:01.740 But fortunately,

00:21:02.680 we have the Amazon showrunners

00:21:04.140 to swoop in

00:21:05.000 decades later

00:21:05.800 to tell us

00:21:07.060 what Tolkien meant to say

00:21:08.300 in a very heavy-handed fashion.

00:21:11.420 There's this line

00:21:12.200 of dialogue

00:21:12.600 in the Amazon show,

00:21:13.480 for example,

00:21:13.960 from an orc named Glug.

00:21:15.720 Quote,

00:21:16.440 The preparations

00:21:16.980 are nearly complete,

00:21:17.980 Lord Father,

00:21:18.500 but we are safe here.

00:21:19.480 We have a home.

00:21:20.580 Must we go to war again?

00:21:22.280 You told me Sauron was dead.

00:21:24.300 Let us leave him that way.

00:21:27.040 It's enough to make you

00:21:28.060 shed a tear

00:21:28.620 for the orc hordes.

00:21:30.480 And then there's this scene

00:21:31.520 where we get to see

00:21:32.140 an orc family

00:21:33.080 lamenting the prospect

00:21:34.540 of more war.

00:21:36.720 And I tell you

00:21:38.100 that we will never

00:21:38.660 truly be safe

00:21:39.660 until we've made certain

00:21:41.840 Sauron is no more.

00:21:44.700 As you will it,

00:21:46.280 Lord Father.

00:21:46.960 So the orcs are anti-war.

00:22:02.500 They're hippies,

00:22:03.040 basically.

00:22:03.480 They're anti-war hippies.

00:22:05.540 At this point,

00:22:06.040 they might as well

00:22:06.500 throw in a scene

00:22:07.080 where an orc goes postal

00:22:08.320 because his health insurance

00:22:09.400 claim is denied.

00:22:11.080 I mean,

00:22:11.260 they're committed

00:22:11.680 to taking you out

00:22:12.660 of the world

00:22:13.060 the author created

00:22:13.860 and shoehorning

00:22:14.680 all of the most

00:22:15.920 cliched scenes imaginable

00:22:17.420 into the plot

00:22:18.140 and they don't seem

00:22:19.440 to care about the fact

00:22:20.120 that they're completely

00:22:20.700 undermining everything

00:22:21.640 the author was intending

00:22:22.660 to do.

00:22:23.760 They're making this story

00:22:24.900 entirely indistinguishable

00:22:26.040 from every other show

00:22:26.960 on television

00:22:27.540 because in the original story,

00:22:29.140 good and evil

00:22:29.880 are very,

00:22:30.940 very clear

00:22:31.440 because unmistakable

00:22:33.680 the good guys

00:22:34.860 and the bad guys.

00:22:37.200 But in modern stories,

00:22:38.460 all of that is always blurred

00:22:39.600 because the stories

00:22:41.040 are being told by people

00:22:41.880 who don't believe

00:22:42.480 that evil exists.

00:22:44.440 And in some cases,

00:22:45.780 this approach

00:22:46.860 has been very

00:22:47.660 commercially successful.

00:22:49.280 You know,

00:22:49.420 we can't deny that

00:22:50.020 Wicked,

00:22:50.560 a story that's billed

00:22:51.600 as a kind of prequel

00:22:52.440 to The Wizard of Oz,

00:22:53.780 it's one of the biggest

00:22:54.400 box office hits

00:22:55.100 of the decade

00:22:55.600 and it was successful

00:22:56.820 because it took the same

00:22:57.860 edgy and subversive angle

00:22:59.900 where the villain

00:23:00.580 is actually

00:23:01.000 a misunderstood hero.

00:23:02.540 And for good measure,

00:23:03.680 they've thrown in

00:23:04.300 some transparent

00:23:05.160 political messaging

00:23:06.100 also, watch.

00:23:07.720 Are people born wicked?

00:23:12.480 Or do they have wickedness

00:23:13.820 thrust upon them?

00:23:22.860 You're green.

00:23:26.060 I am.

00:23:28.740 Something bad

00:23:29.820 is happening in Oz.

00:23:32.520 The best way

00:23:33.880 to bring folks together

00:23:35.580 is to give them

00:23:36.680 a real good

00:23:37.580 enemy.

00:23:38.820 You have no real power.

00:23:46.760 That's why I need you.

00:23:49.560 Don't let her get away,

00:23:51.840 this wicked witch. 0.99

00:23:58.520 So wickedness

00:23:59.520 is thrust upon,

00:24:00.900 some people were told.

00:24:02.440 And in particular,

00:24:02.980 in this case,

00:24:03.400 wickedness is thrust

00:24:04.080 on a black woman 0.84

00:24:05.040 by the white guy,

00:24:06.480 Jeff Goldblum,

00:24:07.280 and the Asian woman 1.00

00:24:08.160 the non-black characters

00:24:11.120 use their institutional power

00:24:12.780 to demonize

00:24:13.820 an innocent person of color

00:24:15.060 as they so often do.

00:24:17.700 Now the message,

00:24:18.380 once again,

00:24:18.740 is that contrary

00:24:19.420 to what you learned

00:24:20.120 in The Wizard of Oz,

00:24:20.980 wickedness isn't actually

00:24:22.680 a legitimate concept.

00:24:24.820 Nobody is wicked.

00:24:25.760 No one's evil.

00:24:27.280 Instead,

00:24:27.720 it's just a way

00:24:28.240 to scapegoat minorities.

00:24:30.580 The south side of Chicago

00:24:31.860 isn't more dangerous

00:24:33.040 than Iraq 0.87

00:24:34.000 because wicked people

00:24:35.000 live there.

00:24:35.460 It's more dangerous

00:24:35.980 than Iraq 0.87

00:24:36.380 because the government

00:24:37.560 is scapegoating

00:24:38.460 poor people.

00:24:39.660 That's the takeaway.

00:24:41.080 And if you're 10 years old,

00:24:42.220 which describes

00:24:42.740 much of the audience

00:24:43.480 for this film,

00:24:45.120 you'll fall for it.

00:24:46.240 I mean,

00:24:46.360 you're not going

00:24:46.680 to be very discerning

00:24:47.580 when you're watching

00:24:48.220 and consuming

00:24:48.960 these messages.

00:24:49.600 That's the point.

00:24:51.120 And there are too many

00:24:52.000 more examples

00:24:52.560 of this phenomenon

00:24:53.240 to mention,

00:24:54.520 some of them

00:24:55.320 for adults also

00:24:56.280 from the new

00:24:57.040 Joker movies,

00:24:58.460 the show Lucifer,

00:24:59.380 many, many examples.

00:25:00.460 But we'll finish

00:25:01.040 with how the 1959 film

00:25:04.060 Sleeping Beauty

00:25:04.760 has been defiled

00:25:05.840 by Hollywood.

00:25:06.740 This is a scene

00:25:07.400 from the film Maleficent,

00:25:09.800 which came out

00:25:10.440 around a decade ago.

00:25:11.340 And this is where

00:25:11.780 the evil fairy appears

00:25:14.080 and puts a curse

00:25:15.520 on the newborn child.

00:25:17.160 And to show I bear

00:25:18.960 no ill will,

00:25:20.540 I too shall bestow

00:25:22.580 a gift on the child.

00:25:25.540 Listen well,

00:25:27.160 all of you.

00:25:29.380 The princess shall indeed

00:25:31.740 grow in grace

00:25:33.340 and beauty,

00:25:35.200 beloved by all

00:25:36.640 who know her.

00:25:39.460 But,

00:25:40.940 before the sun sets

00:25:43.320 on her 16th birthday,

00:25:44.920 she shall prick her finger 1.00

00:25:46.940 on the spindle

00:25:48.540 of a spinning wheel

00:25:49.480 and die. 0.95

00:25:51.760 Oh no!

00:25:54.800 Seize that creature! 1.00

00:25:56.420 Stand back,

00:25:57.340 you fool!

00:25:57.980 Now as you can tell,

00:26:10.500 the fairy isn't 0.95

00:26:11.000 messing around.

00:26:11.580 She wants the kid dead 0.99

00:26:12.380 and she's upset

00:26:13.700 because she wasn't

00:26:14.300 invited to the party.

00:26:15.160 That's it.

00:26:15.540 She's an evil fairy. 1.00

00:26:16.740 Nothing more to it.

00:26:18.220 But in the live action film,

00:26:20.040 there is a,

00:26:20.820 there's a lengthy backstory.

00:26:22.380 The fairy has been betrayed

00:26:23.480 in some horrible way

00:26:24.600 by the king

00:26:25.160 and so the fairy shows up

00:26:26.260 to place the curse

00:26:28.100 on the child

00:26:28.620 but it's not the same curse.

00:26:30.220 Watch.

00:26:31.800 I beg you.

00:26:35.280 All right.

00:26:40.840 The princess can

00:26:42.780 be woken

00:26:44.160 from her death sleep

00:26:45.700 but only by

00:26:48.680 true love's kiss.

00:26:54.620 This curse will last

00:26:55.980 to the end of time.

00:26:58.020 No power on earth

00:26:59.400 can change it.

00:27:03.580 Now again,

00:27:04.260 the CGI and the acting

00:27:05.340 are horrible

00:27:05.820 to the point

00:27:06.480 that it's distracting.

00:27:07.900 It's much harder

00:27:08.720 to watch

00:27:09.480 than the cartoon

00:27:10.120 from the 1950s

00:27:11.000 but they also added

00:27:12.420 a completely new part

00:27:13.380 of the curse.

00:27:14.420 Now the fairy offers

00:27:15.360 an out to the child.

00:27:16.560 She needs to find 0.66

00:27:17.160 true love

00:27:17.740 to lift the curse

00:27:18.380 and what do you know

00:27:19.000 in the end

00:27:19.360 the evil fairy

00:27:20.120 Maleficent comes

00:27:21.360 to love the child

00:27:22.220 and save the child's life.

00:27:24.540 Now it's impossible

00:27:25.080 to overstate

00:27:25.500 how universal

00:27:26.340 this trope has become

00:27:27.560 especially in

00:27:29.040 children's entertainment.

00:27:30.180 Like I said,

00:27:30.560 it's all over the place.

00:27:31.840 It's everywhere.

00:27:33.280 The term psyop

00:27:34.540 is overused

00:27:35.520 but it's hard to think

00:27:37.300 of another way

00:27:38.280 to describe this.

00:27:39.240 It's a full court press

00:27:40.480 that's intended

00:27:40.960 to convince children

00:27:41.840 that objective morality

00:27:43.080 does not exist

00:27:43.840 and that Christian ethics

00:27:45.780 is a simplistic

00:27:46.880 outdated approach

00:27:48.860 you know

00:27:50.280 in this very diverse

00:27:51.640 and complicated

00:27:52.620 and nuanced world

00:27:53.680 we live in.

00:27:55.360 Now in response

00:27:56.160 you might be tempted

00:27:56.640 to say

00:27:56.980 well Hollywood

00:27:57.560 is really just

00:27:58.160 out of ideas

00:27:58.660 so they're going

00:27:59.180 through all the classics

00:28:00.000 and inverting the villains

00:28:01.860 as a way of just

00:28:02.640 generating some new content.

00:28:04.840 And I mean

00:28:05.220 there's some truth to that

00:28:06.160 but if that's all

00:28:07.840 that's going on

00:28:08.540 then where are

00:28:09.420 the right wing

00:28:10.380 retcons 1.00

00:28:11.440 of old stories.

00:28:13.120 Why aren't we getting

00:28:13.640 a follow-up

00:28:14.240 to Beauty and the Beast

00:28:15.040 where Gaston

00:28:16.140 is vindicated

00:28:16.860 as the hero

00:28:17.640 that he actually was.

00:28:19.220 All he did

00:28:19.900 was work out

00:28:20.580 eat eggs every day

00:28:21.540 defend the town

00:28:22.400 and a vulnerable woman

00:28:24.560 from a rampaging beast

00:28:26.300 that came out of nowhere

00:28:27.340 and he did it all

00:28:28.720 in style.

00:28:29.600 Watch.

00:28:29.800 Nobody fights like Gaston

00:28:32.360 for there's no one

00:28:33.580 as curly and brawny

00:28:35.220 As you see

00:28:36.520 I've got biceps

00:28:37.480 to spare

00:28:38.660 Not a bit of him

00:28:40.400 scraggly or scrawny

00:28:41.880 That's right

00:28:42.540 And every last inch

00:28:44.240 of me's covered

00:28:45.120 with hair

00:28:45.960 No one hits like Gaston

00:28:47.520 I just wins like Gaston

00:28:49.120 In a spitting match

00:28:50.500 nobody spits like Gaston

00:28:52.560 I'm especially good

00:28:54.260 at extractorating

00:28:56.300 10 points for Gaston

00:28:58.360 When I was a lad

00:29:00.980 I ate four dozen eggs

00:29:02.620 every morning

00:29:03.580 to help me get large

00:29:05.680 And now that I'm grown

00:29:07.620 I ate five dozen eggs

00:29:09.140 So I'm roughly

00:29:10.320 the size of a barge

00:29:14.820 Now I've made the case before

00:29:16.660 that Gaston

00:29:17.280 is really the hero of the story

00:29:18.140 In fact I argued

00:29:18.760 that a number of Disney villains

00:29:19.740 were really the heroes

00:29:20.300 It was a joke

00:29:21.520 I meant it as a joke

00:29:22.320 at the time

00:29:22.740 But Disney is doing all this

00:29:25.580 unironically

00:29:26.580 Now admittedly

00:29:28.840 even though you can make

00:29:30.580 an argument for Gaston

00:29:31.680 even jokingly

00:29:32.540 it's not the easiest

00:29:33.480 argument to make

00:29:34.160 if you watch the original

00:29:35.100 Beauty and the Beast

00:29:35.640 so it's ripe for a full-on

00:29:37.340 right-wing follow-up

00:29:38.420 that flips the script

00:29:39.360 Where's our big-budget

00:29:41.160 Netflix animated film

00:29:42.480 called Gaston

00:29:43.560 with a consulting credit

00:29:44.660 to that guy

00:29:45.200 Raw Egg Nationalist

00:29:46.360 where Gaston

00:29:47.120 bravely defends his village

00:29:48.340 from a marauding

00:29:49.120 foreign beast 0.74

00:29:49.860 As Netflix said

00:29:51.460 every villain deserves

00:29:52.180 a happy ending

00:29:52.800 or whatever

00:29:53.240 so where's his happy ending?

00:29:55.380 When's that coming out?

00:29:56.960 Well we all know

00:29:57.380 the answer to that question

00:29:58.100 Gaston's not getting

00:29:58.900 a redemption arc

00:29:59.460 because he's not

00:29:59.980 an insufferable shrew

00:30:00.900 or a jealous stepsister 1.00

00:30:02.000 or a demented terrorist

00:30:02.980 who paints his face

00:30:03.880 or you know

00:30:04.620 a literal witch

00:30:05.400 or you know

00:30:06.920 an old hag 1.00

00:30:07.760 who's jealous

00:30:08.260 that she didn't get

00:30:08.900 invited to a party

00:30:09.740 to the point

00:30:10.200 that she'll murder her child 0.96

00:30:11.040 In short

00:30:11.480 he's not getting

00:30:12.960 a redemption arc

00:30:13.500 because in that

00:30:14.480 modern remake

00:30:15.360 that humanizes him

00:30:16.520 he'd be a normal

00:30:17.300 white guy

00:30:18.000 who takes pride

00:30:19.000 in himself

00:30:19.480 and his community

00:30:20.060 and those are the values

00:30:21.340 that Hollywood abhors

00:30:22.220 and those are the values

00:30:23.440 that Hollywood

00:30:23.820 doesn't want

00:30:24.480 your children to learn

00:30:25.360 This is a relatively

00:30:27.720 new phenomenon

00:30:28.380 it's important

00:30:29.180 to distinguish it

00:30:29.980 from the general trend

00:30:31.620 towards antiheroes

00:30:32.820 although this is all

00:30:34.240 sort of part of the same

00:30:35.840 overall trend

00:30:36.920 I'm aware

00:30:37.960 that the whole

00:30:38.340 antihero thing

00:30:39.340 became really popular

00:30:40.240 back with

00:30:40.880 Breaking Bad

00:30:42.240 Sopranos

00:30:42.940 etc

00:30:43.240 still going strong

00:30:45.180 but there are

00:30:46.080 some key differences here

00:30:46.980 for one thing

00:30:47.660 those shows

00:30:48.340 aren't aimed at children

00:30:49.280 that's important

00:30:49.880 for another

00:30:51.300 they're actually good shows

00:30:52.380 artistically

00:30:53.040 they're not unimaginative

00:30:55.200 and boring

00:30:55.740 complete with generic

00:30:56.800 and unwatchable CGI

00:30:57.900 they also have

00:30:58.620 stakes and tension

00:31:00.260 which these remakes

00:31:01.720 lose entirely

00:31:02.420 by making the villain

00:31:03.280 seem sympathetic at heart

00:31:04.440 but

00:31:05.500 most importantly

00:31:06.760 those shows are original

00:31:07.700 they're not transparent

00:31:08.820 attempts to rewrite

00:31:09.820 our culture

00:31:10.360 and reprogram the morality

00:31:11.540 of an entire generation

00:31:12.400 it's now very evident

00:31:13.480 that above all else

00:31:14.400 that is Hollywood's goal

00:31:16.320 they want your children 0.81

00:31:17.620 to believe

00:31:18.160 they live in a world

00:31:18.940 without villains

00:31:19.680 you know

00:31:21.420 where no individual

00:31:22.340 can truly be described

00:31:23.380 as evil

00:31:23.880 unless he's a straight 0.62

00:31:26.060 white man

00:31:26.520 those are the only villains

00:31:27.540 those can stay

00:31:29.040 but all the rest

00:31:29.760 cannot be villains

00:31:30.660 if they're part of a

00:31:32.600 quote

00:31:32.800 marginalized group

00:31:33.720 so ask yourself this question

00:31:35.160 what kind of person

00:31:36.780 or institution

00:31:37.400 benefits

00:31:38.100 when an entire generation

00:31:40.500 is raised to believe

00:31:41.520 that morality

00:31:42.340 is entirely subjective

00:31:43.840 and what does it mean

00:31:46.100 when those people

00:31:46.820 or institutions

00:31:47.280 have billions of dollars

00:31:48.480 and control

00:31:50.120 of the entertainment industry

00:31:51.200 every day

00:31:53.240 we hear another story

00:31:54.000 about some violent

00:31:55.000 vagrant criminal 0.99

00:31:56.120 released from jail

00:31:58.200 or never jailed at all

00:31:59.800 by some judge

00:32:00.860 almost always a female

00:32:01.820 who wants to

00:32:03.520 you know

00:32:03.780 see the good

00:32:04.600 in this evil scumbag

00:32:06.140 and give him a second

00:32:07.600 or third

00:32:08.460 or fourth

00:32:08.940 or tenth

00:32:09.440 or thirtieth chance

00:32:10.600 now I'm not saying

00:32:12.580 that those judges

00:32:13.820 were influenced

00:32:14.520 by a bad

00:32:15.760 101 Dalmatians remake

00:32:17.840 I'm saying

00:32:19.160 they're part

00:32:19.800 of the same

00:32:21.160 cultural trend

00:32:22.260 they are reflecting it

00:32:23.820 and driving it

00:32:25.160 at the same time

00:32:26.060 and this means

00:32:27.740 that as a parent

00:32:28.500 you're up against

00:32:29.980 some very powerful

00:32:30.720 and very sinister forces

00:32:31.780 it also means

00:32:32.440 that before

00:32:33.080 they're taken offline

00:32:33.900 you should pull up

00:32:34.580 some of the

00:32:35.000 those old films

00:32:36.340 from the 1950s

00:32:37.260 and 60s

00:32:37.840 that I mentioned

00:32:38.360 screen them

00:32:39.280 for your kids

00:32:39.840 it's an entire era

00:32:41.540 that everyone

00:32:42.240 in the entertainment

00:32:42.780 industry

00:32:43.120 would rather

00:32:43.620 you forget about

00:32:44.280 but good and evil

00:32:46.120 do exist

00:32:46.700 and it's never

00:32:48.760 been more important

00:32:49.540 that your children

00:32:51.220 understand that

00:32:52.020 now let's get

00:32:53.440 to our five headlines

00:32:54.180 do you remember

00:33:00.480 the great ammo

00:33:01.220 shortage of 2020

00:33:02.260 shelves were bare

00:33:03.180 and even online options

00:33:04.340 were wiped out

00:33:05.020 well there's a company

00:35:11.780 an abbreviated show

00:35:12.580 today I have to

00:35:12.980 catch a flight

00:35:13.520 actually I'm gonna

00:35:15.480 do an interview but

00:35:16.180 I but I I do want to

00:35:17.460 hit two or three

00:35:17.980 headlines if we can

00:35:19.140 so we've talked about

00:35:20.380 Jennifer Welsh on

00:35:21.280 the show before she's

00:35:22.340 the repugnant hob

00:35:23.540 goblin who the left

00:35:25.020 has apparently selected

00:35:26.060 for their to have the

00:35:28.080 title of the new Joe

00:35:29.180 Rogan we heard about

00:35:30.200 after the last

00:35:31.560 election the left

00:35:32.300 really needs their

00:35:32.980 own Joe Rogan and

00:35:33.900 they've been looking

00:35:34.440 trying people out to

00:35:36.860 be the new Joe

00:35:37.580 Rogan and and they

00:35:39.820 went out and found

00:35:40.480 one and apparently

00:35:43.000 this is her she's Joe

00:35:45.180 Rogan minus any of his

00:35:47.240 appeal or any of his

00:35:48.680 talents or communication

00:35:49.760 skills Joe Rogan minus

00:35:51.820 all of the things that

00:35:52.960 makes him Joe Rogan and

00:35:54.380 here she is this week 0.97

00:35:55.480 attacking Erica Kirk

00:35:57.980 listen

00:35:58.480 her attack on having

00:36:02.320 substituting a

00:36:03.280 relationship for a man

00:36:04.180 with a substitution for

00:36:05.160 the government is

00:36:06.520 overtly an attack on

00:36:09.240 poor people and the

00:36:11.000 racist connotations in

00:36:12.440 that considering she's

00:36:13.720 abundantly aware of the

00:36:16.080 when you talk about

00:36:17.360 women and poverty that 0.99

00:36:20.480 black and brown women 0.99

00:36:22.140 stick off the charts more

00:36:23.700 so than white women this 1.00

00:36:25.120 is a an intentional

00:36:27.000 attack on poor women 0.95

00:36:30.040 and this is a

00:36:31.040 dehumanization all done

00:36:32.540 in the name of her

00:36:33.240 Lord and Savior Jesus

00:36:34.360 Christ which is the

00:36:35.260 exact opposite of what

00:36:37.360 the central character of

00:36:39.160 the faith of

00:36:39.800 Christianity preached

00:36:40.800 against so this is

00:36:42.240 intentional weaponization

00:36:43.820 of her gender and her

00:36:45.600 faith and this she is a

00:36:48.440 grifter and just look at

00:36:49.960 the costume changes look at

00:36:52.100 the costume changes look

00:36:53.520 at the affect and how

00:36:54.860 she does that it's wild

00:36:56.960 this woman should be 0.99

00:36:58.020 kicked to the curb she 0.67

00:36:59.700 is an absolute grifter

00:37:01.860 just like Donald Trump

00:37:03.040 and just like her

00:37:03.860 unrepentant racist

00:37:05.560 homophobic husband was

00:37:07.680 okay Jennifer are you

00:37:09.520 sure that that is why

00:37:10.840 you you're so upset at

00:37:12.500 Erica is because of her

00:37:14.720 wardrobe changes because

00:37:17.580 God forbid Erica what 1.00

00:37:19.040 change her wardrobe she

00:37:21.980 wears different clothing

00:37:23.260 every day and and and

00:37:25.300 that's the problem these

00:37:28.040 these soulless trolls like

00:37:32.180 every day they make up a

00:37:34.360 new rule that apparently

00:37:35.960 widows are supposed to 1.00

00:37:37.220 follow every day with

00:37:39.020 these idiots it's another 0.89

00:37:40.220 thing well if she's a 1.00

00:37:41.840 grieving widow widow why 0.68

00:37:43.160 is she doing that why is 0.99

00:37:44.820 she wearing different

00:37:45.480 clothing today why is she 0.94

00:37:47.700 eating a sandwich for

00:37:48.660 lunch have you ever seen a

00:37:50.020 grieving widow eat a 0.98

00:37:50.900 sandwich what is this and

00:37:55.420 so they make up these

00:37:56.220 rules and it's like it

00:37:57.820 got it the rules grow but

00:37:59.620 every day I mean the

00:38:01.120 list now is five pages

00:38:02.700 long of things that

00:38:04.060 apparently grieving widows 1.00

00:38:05.360 are supposed to do or not

00:38:06.680 do just arbitrarily

00:38:08.420 invented and if they don't

00:38:12.740 follow these rules if

00:38:13.680 Erica doesn't follow the

00:38:14.680 rules then she's a fake and 1.00

00:38:15.960 a fraud and not actually

00:38:17.740 said that her husband died

00:38:18.980 right you find the same

00:38:24.420 thing with I was just

00:38:28.060 responding to somebody

00:38:28.840 today this is someone I

00:38:29.760 think on the right who

00:38:31.080 posted something as a

00:38:32.660 picture of Erica smiling

00:38:33.880 and and the person I

00:38:37.440 forget what the caption

00:38:38.020 was but the person was

00:38:38.920 attacking Erica for

00:38:40.080 smiling oh yeah she really

00:38:42.340 looks like she's grieving

00:38:43.320 yes because because when

00:38:47.580 you're when you're grieving

00:38:48.620 it means that you'll never

00:38:50.580 smile but but keep it keep

00:38:51.820 in mind right if Erica

00:38:53.200 smiles then her critics on

00:38:56.880 both sides will say why are

00:38:59.640 you smiling if she frowns

00:39:02.500 then they'll say oh well

00:39:03.620 she's faking it if she cries

00:39:05.880 they'll say oh it's

00:39:06.860 performance if she doesn't

00:39:08.340 cry they say why isn't she 0.98

00:39:09.720 crying so it's this it's

00:39:11.700 this ridiculous lose-lose

00:39:13.620 scenario that's been

00:39:15.480 invented by people on both

00:39:16.860 sides for this this woman

00:39:20.340 who did what did she do 1.00

00:39:21.800 wrong again like what is

00:39:23.280 her crime why is everyone 1.00

00:39:25.040 attacking her why is it

00:39:26.840 every day I go on on

00:39:27.860 Twitter and it's like

00:39:28.600 someone what is it what

00:39:30.040 did she do what did what

00:39:31.440 did she do to you people

00:39:32.420 her husband died that is

00:39:35.600 that is that the sin that

00:39:36.620 she committed losing her

00:39:39.200 husband I'm so sick of it

00:39:45.840 I'm so tired of it it's

00:39:47.260 just disgusting and if

00:39:49.500 you're if you're one of

00:39:50.180 the people doing this you

00:39:50.960 should be ashamed of

00:39:51.920 yourself if you're capable

00:39:52.760 of it and I can't stand

00:39:55.560 these people that say and

00:39:56.760 I was talking about this

00:39:57.460 today on X and there's

00:39:58.460 there are people responding

00:39:59.480 and saying yeah well yeah

00:40:03.600 but there's just something

00:40:04.780 a little off I don't know

00:40:06.180 there's something a little

00:40:06.900 off with her it feels a

00:40:08.360 little off it's a little

00:40:10.200 off I'm not sure I'm not

00:40:11.680 saying there's anything

00:40:12.320 wrong it's a little off I

00:40:13.880 don't know well maybe

00:40:17.420 what's off with her is that

00:40:18.620 her husband was just

00:40:19.220 murdered maybe her husband

00:40:20.160 was just shot in the throat

00:40:21.160 on TV in front of the

00:40:22.640 entire world maybe that's a

00:40:24.280 little maybe maybe she's a 1.00

00:40:25.140 little off because of that

00:40:26.120 you know maybe maybe her

00:40:27.820 maybe her emotional

00:40:28.900 responses all the time are

00:40:30.360 not exactly what you would

00:40:31.320 what you would expect like

00:40:33.320 maybe maybe that's it

00:40:34.780 here's another idea if if you

00:40:40.460 don't if you think that well

00:40:42.000 I don't know there's

00:40:42.780 something a little off but you

00:40:45.780 you have no evidence that

00:40:46.860 like she did anything wrong

00:40:48.340 and yet you just have these

00:40:50.100 vague whatever feelings vibes

00:40:53.120 well maybe rather than make

00:40:57.320 maybe rather than vaguely

00:40:59.080 defaming a widow for reasons

00:41:01.620 that you're not even clear

00:41:02.920 about for admittedly you even

00:41:06.020 admit that like she might not

00:41:07.180 be doing anything wrong at

00:41:08.100 all she might not be doing

00:41:09.020 anything wrong at all but I'll

00:41:10.000 just kind of like wildly

00:41:11.220 speculate that maybe there's

00:41:13.020 something wrong with it

00:41:13.700 maybe rather than doing that

00:41:15.860 maybe you should just shut the

00:41:16.900 up okay how about that

00:41:18.680 maybe just keep it to yourself

00:41:22.000 it's like basic rule of human

00:41:25.220 decency that we all used to

00:41:26.440 understand is when you've got

00:41:27.780 someone who's grieving like

00:41:29.680 even rather than nitpicking

00:41:31.160 oh I you should I wouldn't do

00:41:32.740 it that way I that's not how

00:41:34.380 I that's not the facial

00:41:35.500 expression I would have

00:41:36.760 maybe you just shut up

00:41:40.760 and I try not to I try not to

00:41:45.460 cuss like that but it's but 1.00

00:41:47.100 I'm I'm so I'm so sick of it

00:41:48.960 I'm so tired of it

00:41:49.820 and um and Jennifer Welsh

00:41:55.400 this is what this is you know

00:41:56.860 and it here's the thing it

00:41:58.160 gives it gives even more

00:41:59.200 permission to people like this

00:42:01.020 now someone like Jennifer

00:42:01.680 Welsh you expect it out of 1.00

00:42:04.160 her you expect her to act this 0.91

00:42:06.120 way

00:42:06.440 right but the more that

00:42:10.060 everybody else does it

00:42:11.100 especially when you're on the

00:42:13.900 right people on the right it's

00:42:15.160 like everybody on the right

00:42:17.180 now everyone claims that they

00:42:21.460 loved and admired and

00:42:23.320 respected Charlie Kirk even

00:42:26.280 though we all know that's not

00:42:27.260 true even though we all know

00:42:29.300 that a lot of them when Charlie

00:42:30.760 was alive very clearly did not

00:42:33.900 have respect for him and did not

00:42:35.300 treat him that way but now

00:42:37.220 everybody now everyone

00:42:38.480 respected and loved and

00:42:39.760 admired him okay fine I'll take

00:42:43.740 you at your word on that so you

00:42:45.760 love and admire and respect

00:42:47.040 Charlie great so do I and so

00:42:50.560 this is how you love admire and

00:42:51.740 respect him is by criticizing and

00:42:54.600 critiquing and nitpicking his wife

00:42:56.780 after he's killed that's that's

00:43:00.600 that's what you do for someone you

00:43:01.820 admire and respect is by going

00:43:04.720 after his wife now that he's dead

00:43:07.740 is that you think that's what

00:43:09.200 Charlie wants you think that's

00:43:10.480 what he wants you think Charlie's

00:43:13.360 looking on from the afterlife

00:43:16.500 nodding in approval as you

00:43:21.340 critique and nitpick his wife is

00:43:24.640 that what you think by the way just

00:43:28.780 so you know because what I one

00:43:31.640 thing I've discovered is that a lot

00:43:33.300 of people well a lot of people are

00:43:35.000 just soulless trolls I think we

00:43:37.220 already knew that but also a lot of

00:43:38.940 people apparently have just never

00:43:40.220 been around grief or mourning at all

00:43:44.240 they've never been around it I guess

00:43:47.180 and if that's the case for you good

00:43:49.880 for you like you've been very

00:43:52.780 sheltered that you have not even been

00:43:54.600 around this but that's all the more

00:43:59.280 reason why you should shut up okay 0.94

00:44:02.360 Erica Kirk is dealing with something

00:44:03.960 that you've never even come within the

00:44:06.380 vicinity of apparently you you've never

00:44:09.960 even sniffed the kind of tragedy that

00:44:13.160 she's enduring which would tell me

00:44:14.740 that maybe you have no clue how a

00:44:17.280 person would really respond you have no

00:44:19.880 basis to be making judgments about

00:44:22.380 whether her response is appropriate or

00:44:26.060 not anyone who has been around this

00:44:33.000 knows that people who are grieving loved

00:44:36.100 ones

00:44:36.480 they'll smile and laugh at the funeral

00:44:40.400 that's not unusual at all in fact that's

00:44:43.720 common

00:44:44.060 you go to the funeral of someone who died

00:44:46.940 three days ago

00:44:47.840 and the people that love this person

00:44:50.280 most you're gonna see them you see them

00:44:51.900 crying of course but you also they'll

00:44:53.600 also be smiling and laughing at certain

00:44:54.880 points why why do they smile or laugh

00:44:56.820 well maybe because they're warmly

00:44:58.840 recalling something about their loved

00:45:00.820 one that they loved that they maybe

00:45:04.200 maybe that maybe it's a fond

00:45:05.360 recollection maybe someone else has

00:45:07.780 said to them hey remember that time

00:45:09.020 that funny thing that and they're and

00:45:10.580 they're laughing maybe they're

00:45:12.780 smiling in response to the kindness

00:45:14.340 of the people around them maybe

00:45:16.380 they're smiling because they're doing

00:45:17.760 their best you know maybe they're

00:45:20.820 just doing their they're just doing

00:45:22.240 their best to come off as friendly and

00:45:23.840 warm there's a whole lot of reasons

00:45:24.840 or maybe they're experiencing any maybe

00:45:26.960 for a thousand other reasons okay

00:45:28.500 humans experience a range of emotions

00:45:30.920 and when you're grieving it doesn't

00:45:33.080 mean that you're only gonna frown and

00:45:35.560 cry every second of the day for the

00:45:38.160 next year that's not how it works

00:45:39.540 every no actually when you're grieving

00:45:42.620 every single day you'll you'll experience

00:45:45.940 intense swings of emotion back and forth

00:45:49.980 all over the place that is what is

00:45:52.080 normal and so to see someone who's

00:45:54.060 grieving and one second they're they're

00:45:56.340 smiling or even laughing at the next

00:45:58.740 second they're crying that's not

00:46:00.400 unusual that is normal

00:46:02.260 and the last point is any anyone who

00:46:09.360 says

00:46:09.820 well why is she out in public 1.00

00:46:12.760 you know that's not normal

00:46:16.160 yeah well it's not normal that's true

00:46:20.140 but also a political assassination of a

00:46:24.480 very famous and important figure is also

00:46:26.800 not normal so this is not a normal

00:46:29.200 situation so if you see things happening

00:46:31.380 that aren't normal when a not normal

00:46:33.360 thing happens then that shouldn't confuse

00:46:36.700 you very much

00:46:37.460 so why is she out in public well I don't 0.95

00:46:41.860 know maybe it's because her husband was a

00:46:44.320 very famous and very important political

00:46:46.320 and cultural figure who became the victim

00:46:48.780 of the most high profile political

00:46:50.600 assassination of the century and one of the 0.95

00:46:53.280 most high profile and consequential political

00:46:55.280 assassinations in the history of this country

00:46:57.560 and her husband also ran a very important

00:47:02.100 organization and so Erica Kirk feels duty

00:47:07.100 bound to get out there and keep his legacy alive

00:47:11.520 and and and preserve the work that her husband

00:47:15.820 has done and maybe she looks at it and sees that

00:47:19.280 there are very hostile forces arrayed against her who want to tear down his

00:47:24.100 legacy and destroy everything that he built and so maybe she recognizes that she can't

00:47:29.520 afford to just go go home and kick her feet up for a year and then come back 1.00

00:47:36.180 because maybe she knows that when she reemerges there might not be anything left

00:47:40.280 when all these people that are trying to trying to destroy everything Charlie has done when they're

00:47:48.080 finished so maybe that's why she's out there just a thought you know maybe it's that

00:47:55.040 anyway uh Jennifer Welsh yeah that's who we were talking about well look uh 0.81

00:48:05.700 and someone like that

00:48:09.440 I have to wonder in your case Jennifer

00:48:13.980 uh are are you upset because Erica is still in her 30s like are you are you upset what you

00:48:23.760 claim to be upset about or is it because Erica is still in her 30s and you're a 55 year old

00:48:27.260 hag trying to look 32 but instead you just look like like the crypt keeper are you actually upset

00:48:32.700 like is the real problem that Erica can form different facial expressions but you've injected 1.00

00:48:38.100 so much botulism into your face that you now have the facial dexterity of Stephen Hawking

00:48:42.220 is that is that really maybe what you're upset about I wonder or are you upset because uh

00:48:47.500 maybe you're upset because Erica loves her husband and her children and meanwhile you're

00:48:51.440 divorced and your children hate you

00:48:53.460 are you sure maybe that's not the real issue

00:48:56.980 I'm just wondering

00:48:59.640 is your real issue that Erica knows what it's like to be loved by someone and and and to and

00:49:05.640 to love someone and you've never loved anyone or been loved by anyone in your pitiful lonely

00:49:10.980 desperately pathetic life

00:49:12.580 I'm wondering if maybe that's your problem

00:49:15.520 maybe your problem is that Erica loves her husband and children and the only thing you've ever loved or has 0.59

00:49:20.740 ever loved you back is a bottle of $12 white wine

00:49:23.260 maybe your problem is the only person who wants to see you or is excited to see you is the

00:49:27.720 cashier at the liquor store when you stop by 10 times a week

00:49:30.360 maybe that maybe that's your problem

00:49:31.860 and I'll say all this and I want to be clear

00:49:37.200 even though I find you to be a miserable horrific person I would never celebrate and gloat over your death

00:49:44.340 the way that you've celebrated and gloated over Charlie's death

00:49:46.820 you gloat over his death you insult him you attack his widow and his family because you're an evil despicable horrible person

00:49:54.260 truly

00:49:55.680 but I would never do that to you

00:49:58.780 and I don't think anyone should do it

00:50:01.380 but the good news for you I guess Jennifer is that you'll never be assassinated because you're not important enough for that

00:50:08.940 and when you do die

00:50:11.420 which will be you know relatively soon in the next few decades because you're old

00:50:16.820 and getting older

00:50:18.200 but nobody will celebrate

00:50:20.340 we'll hardly notice

00:50:22.420 we're not even going to know what happened because we'll just forget you ever existed

00:50:27.380 because unlike Charlie you've had no impact on the world

00:50:30.540 and you've never done anything that matters

00:50:32.560 so

00:50:34.380 I just want to be clear about that

00:50:37.800 you're responding with glee to someone's death

00:50:42.260 and the response to your death is going to be

00:50:43.960 your death is going to be someone's going to hear about

00:50:48.020 oh who died

00:50:48.560 oh okay

00:50:50.000 which one was that again

00:50:51.460 what did she do

00:50:52.480 oh okay

00:50:53.500 that's how people are going to respond to you when you die

00:50:56.480 just so you know

00:50:57.780 including probably your own family

00:51:00.760 just to be just to be perfectly frank

00:51:02.300 and if it sounds like I'm going a little overboard

00:51:08.220 or being a little harsh

00:51:09.000 maybe I am

00:51:09.660 but I am

00:51:12.000 I'm just sick of people

00:51:13.620 attacking a demeaning

00:51:15.140 Erica

00:51:16.220 I am

00:51:17.260 because the thing is

00:51:19.020 even though everybody now is claiming

00:51:22.540 Charlie was my friend

00:51:23.780 I admired him

00:51:24.920 he actually was a friend of mine

00:51:27.660 and I did admire him

00:51:28.640 and attacking his wife

00:51:30.780 I take personally

00:51:31.540 I just do

00:51:33.020 and if you do that

00:51:36.340 then you're the lowest of low

00:51:37.580 you're just the lowest scumbag

00:51:39.720 and you

00:51:40.540 and there's

00:51:41.200 there's

00:51:41.500 there is no insult

00:51:42.800 that could be

00:51:43.500 too extreme for you

00:51:44.980 in my opinion

00:51:45.780 we do have one more

00:51:49.000 Jennifer Welsh clip unfortunately 0.53

00:51:50.340 but

00:51:50.880 I do

00:51:51.460 I want to play this too

00:51:52.120 so this is a

00:51:52.940 on a different topic

00:51:54.680 but there's an important point to be made here

00:51:56.060 watch this

00:51:56.540 it's wild

00:51:57.980 how

00:51:58.540 rural America

00:52:00.060 like they believe

00:52:01.380 that land

00:52:02.460 you know

00:52:03.120 votes

00:52:03.800 and

00:52:04.420 they don't understand

00:52:06.100 that they're

00:52:07.420 being taxed

00:52:09.000 at a higher rate

00:52:10.260 than somebody like Jeff Bezos

00:52:12.340 or

00:52:13.180 Elon Musk

00:52:14.600 who I want to remind everybody

00:52:16.160 that's against immigration

00:52:17.360 is a

00:52:18.700 immigrant

00:52:19.280 I just think it's really important

00:52:21.260 to remind everybody all the time

00:52:22.440 that Elon Musk is a

00:52:23.300 immigrant that doesn't pay taxes 1.00

00:52:24.860 who

00:52:25.120 is a parasite off the American taxpayer

00:52:27.640 okay first of all

00:52:28.900 the idea that Elon

00:52:29.880 doesn't pay taxes

00:52:31.540 is total nonsense

00:52:33.060 Elon

00:52:34.240 pays more in taxes

00:52:36.180 in two days

00:52:36.820 than Jennifer Welsh

00:52:37.620 has ever paid

00:52:38.620 in her life

00:52:39.240 Elon

00:52:40.660 has paid

00:52:41.420 billions in taxes

00:52:43.020 okay

00:52:44.460 so this thing about

00:52:45.120 the rich people don't pay taxes

00:52:46.100 what are you

00:52:46.640 what are you talking about

00:52:49.300 do you

00:52:50.620 you don't understand

00:52:52.140 like rich people pay

00:52:53.980 not only do they pay taxes

00:52:56.100 they pay almost

00:52:57.060 all of the taxes

00:52:58.000 so when you say

00:52:59.460 they don't pay taxes

00:53:00.220 what you mean is

00:53:00.980 except for the fact

00:53:01.500 they pay almost all of them

00:53:02.520 yeah they don't pay taxes

00:53:04.440 and second

00:53:06.660 you really see the mind

00:53:07.720 of the modern leftist

00:53:08.600 put on display here

00:53:09.460 this kind of shows you

00:53:10.700 everything you need to see

00:53:11.680 because

00:53:13.540 think about this

00:53:14.400 to somebody like Jennifer

00:53:15.480 Elon Musk

00:53:17.960 a white billionaire immigrant

00:53:19.240 who comes to this country 1.00

00:53:21.760 to build rocket ships

00:53:22.800 and make electric cars

00:53:24.740 and run a business

00:53:25.980 that employs thousands

00:53:27.240 he's a parasite

00:53:29.660 meanwhile

00:53:32.020 a black Somali immigrant

00:53:33.600 who's unemployed

00:53:34.480 and has no skills

00:53:35.480 and a remedial IQ

00:53:36.480 and who comes here

00:53:37.920 to run Medicare scams

00:53:39.840 and sends the money back

00:53:41.100 to Somalia

00:53:41.680 is not a parasite

00:53:42.760 no he's an integral contributor

00:53:44.960 to American culture

00:53:46.060 that kind of sums it up

00:53:50.120 right there

00:53:51.540 that's all that needs

00:53:52.120 to be said really

00:53:52.800 it's open enrollment season

00:53:54.220 and insurance companies

00:53:55.240 are betting you'll just

00:53:56.260 auto renew without asking questions

00:53:58.100 but you're smarter than that

00:53:59.260 if you're tired of overpriced premiums

00:54:00.900 and confusing fine print

00:54:48.740 there are a lot of perks

00:54:49.940 to owning a home

00:54:50.560 versus renting from a landlord

00:54:51.960 but one of the things

00:54:52.720 that most people dread

00:54:53.480 about buying and owning a home

00:54:54.580 are the expensive repairs

00:54:55.660 that are bound to happen

00:54:56.620 regular homeowners

00:54:57.360 insurance

00:54:57.820 doesn't cover everyday repairs

00:54:59.260 like plumbing failures

00:55:00.200 and electrical issues

00:55:00.860 leaving you on your own

00:55:02.080 to cover the repairs

00:55:03.180 but now

00:55:46.940 Sam Altman

00:55:47.660 the CEO of OpenAI

00:55:49.400 appeared on The Tonight Show

00:55:50.740 for some reason

00:55:51.420 to

00:55:52.260 I don't know

00:55:53.100 hawk

00:55:53.560 chat GPT

00:55:54.980 and there was one moment

00:55:56.400 that was interesting

00:55:57.200 and kind of sad

00:55:59.900 watch this

00:56:00.940 and do you use

00:56:02.280 chat GPT

00:56:02.980 when raising your baby?

00:56:05.000 I do

00:56:06.020 I feel kind of

00:56:07.380 bad about it

00:56:08.280 because we have this

00:56:08.980 like genius level

00:56:10.340 at everything

00:56:11.060 intelligence

00:56:11.640 sitting there

00:56:12.500 like waiting to unravel

00:56:13.600 the mysteries of humanity

00:56:14.500 and I'm like

00:56:15.500 why does my kid

00:56:16.400 stop dropping

00:56:17.040 his pizza on the floor

00:56:17.960 and laughing

00:56:18.560 you know

00:56:19.780 so I feel like

00:56:20.820 I'm not asking

00:56:22.300 a good enough question

00:56:23.020 but it is

00:56:23.920 I don't

00:56:25.620 I cannot imagine

00:56:26.600 having gone through

00:56:27.540 like figuring out

00:56:28.280 how to raise a newborn

00:56:28.960 without chat GPT

00:56:29.900 clearly people did it

00:56:30.700 for a long time

00:56:31.280 no problem

00:56:31.860 yes

00:56:32.400 but

00:56:32.760 so I know

00:56:36.140 it's

00:56:36.800 yeah how did people

00:56:38.540 raise children

00:56:39.280 before chat GPT

00:56:40.440 I don't know Sam

00:56:41.200 maybe you could ask

00:56:42.980 literally anyone

00:56:43.800 who's ever raised kids

00:56:44.960 you know

00:56:46.320 chat GPT

00:56:47.060 has existed

00:56:47.840 for 10 seconds

00:56:49.680 so maybe you could ask

00:56:50.820 anyone at all

00:56:51.680 in the world

00:56:52.160 who's ever raised children

00:56:53.100 they could tell you

00:56:54.220 they could tell you

00:56:56.000 how they did it

00:56:56.420 without chat GPT

00:56:57.300 because every single parent

00:56:58.480 in history

00:56:58.860 has done that

00:56:59.500 now what you should know

00:57:01.480 about Sam

00:57:02.120 if you don't

00:57:03.100 is that he's in a gay 0.97

00:57:04.080 quote unquote marriage

00:57:05.000 and he has his

00:57:06.180 quote unquote husband

00:57:07.220 he and his husband

00:57:08.820 had a

00:57:09.240 quote unquote husband

00:57:10.060 have a child

00:57:11.360 who they purchased

00:57:12.060 through surrogacy

00:57:12.900 a son

00:57:14.760 always surrogacy

00:57:17.020 I mean if you've

00:57:17.840 noticed that

00:57:18.880 there's this big fight

00:57:20.340 over gay adoption

00:57:21.360 gays

00:57:22.880 demanded the right

00:57:24.300 to adopt

00:57:24.800 and then they won

00:57:25.940 that right

00:57:26.400 and

00:57:28.160 against the objections

00:57:29.300 of many people

00:57:30.820 including me

00:57:31.480 but then a funny thing

00:57:32.960 happened

00:57:33.260 that none of them

00:57:33.960 actually adopted

00:57:34.680 they all decided

00:57:35.700 that they'd rather

00:57:36.320 purchase a child

00:57:37.380 and rent out

00:57:38.460 a woman's body

00:57:39.060 and have a child

00:57:39.720 that way

00:57:40.080 so you know

00:57:41.060 that's interesting

00:57:41.700 so now he's trying

00:57:43.120 to figure out

00:57:43.480 how to raise

00:57:44.000 this child

00:57:44.520 he's using chat GPT

00:57:45.820 and think about

00:57:47.060 the hopeless situation

00:57:47.940 this poor kid is in

00:57:48.860 he's being raised

00:57:49.760 by two men

00:57:50.380 he has no access

00:57:51.020 to his own mother

00:57:51.700 and the men

00:57:53.100 are consulting

00:57:53.600 an algorithm

00:57:54.240 to figure out

00:57:55.060 the basics

00:57:55.680 of child care

00:57:56.540 two men

00:57:58.620 in an algorithm

00:57:59.280 right

00:57:59.760 it's horrific

00:58:01.000 and in a just society

00:58:02.060 the child

00:58:02.420 would be removed

00:58:02.920 from the home

00:58:03.420 that's what should happen

00:58:04.300 he's better off

00:58:05.580 in an orphanage

00:58:06.160 okay

00:58:06.360 that kid is better off

00:58:07.580 being raised by wolves

00:58:08.900 in the forest

00:58:09.980 than the situation

00:58:11.320 that he's currently in

00:58:12.180 and I'm not kidding

00:58:12.840 like Sam

00:58:16.460 do you know

00:58:16.780 how people

00:58:17.160 have been able

00:58:17.660 to raise kids

00:58:18.240 without chat GPT

00:58:19.100 well for one thing

00:58:19.940 it helps to have

00:58:21.180 the mom around

00:58:21.980 okay

00:58:23.320 like women 1.00

00:58:24.320 have an instinct

00:58:25.180 for child care

00:58:25.980 especially

00:58:26.480 the care

00:58:27.240 of very young children

00:58:28.240 that men

00:58:29.800 don't totally have

00:58:30.820 so the neat

00:58:32.040 little trick

00:58:32.620 that most men

00:58:33.380 have

00:58:33.800 most fathers

00:58:34.740 is their

00:58:35.740 they have their wives

00:58:36.680 most moms 1.00

00:58:39.040 know how to care

00:58:39.900 for their babies

00:58:40.600 it's hardwired

00:58:41.460 it's biological

00:58:42.060 it's spiritual

00:58:42.600 it's ingrained

00:58:43.320 it's embedded

00:58:44.120 think of it

00:58:45.400 like a biological

00:58:46.240 algorithm

00:58:46.920 okay

00:58:47.200 think of it

00:58:47.600 like a human

00:58:48.220 chat GPT

00:58:49.060 inside the minds

00:58:49.980 of every mom

00:58:50.740 so

00:58:52.540 that's one way

00:58:54.380 but the sad reality

00:58:56.400 is that Sam

00:58:57.220 is not alone

00:58:57.760 you know

00:58:58.060 I have no doubt

00:58:58.780 that lots of parents

00:58:59.880 including heterosexual parents

00:59:01.220 including mothers

00:59:02.060 are now using

00:59:03.840 chat GPT

00:59:04.620 for even the most

00:59:05.320 minor parenting tasks

00:59:06.480 I think that probably

00:59:07.240 is happening

00:59:07.880 and so

00:59:09.800 it's

00:59:10.420 in a few years

00:59:11.880 you're going to have

00:59:13.120 a lot of parents

00:59:13.700 who wouldn't know

00:59:14.280 how to parent

00:59:14.780 without chat GPT

00:59:15.740 and this is one of the

00:59:18.020 great concerns about AI

00:59:19.120 I mean it's one thing

00:59:20.020 for AI to enable us

00:59:21.240 to do stuff

00:59:21.820 that we couldn't do

00:59:22.700 before

00:59:23.140 that's one thing

00:59:24.860 but the problem

00:59:26.340 with this kind of

00:59:26.820 modern technology

00:59:27.580 one of the problems

00:59:28.420 is that people use it

00:59:29.820 to do stuff

00:59:30.460 they do know

00:59:31.280 how to do

00:59:31.800 and then as a consequence

00:59:33.700 they forget

00:59:34.760 how to do it

00:59:35.520 that's maybe

00:59:37.480 the most underrated

00:59:39.100 problem

00:59:40.240 with AI

00:59:41.680 and with a lot

00:59:42.500 of modern technology

00:59:43.300 is that

00:59:43.940 it enables you

00:59:44.920 to do stuff

00:59:45.400 that you already

00:59:45.880 know how to do

00:59:46.480 and then you rely on it

00:59:47.540 and you forget

00:59:47.940 how to do it

00:59:48.540 so that you become

00:59:50.380 helpless

00:59:51.000 it starts as just

00:59:53.140 a tool to make things

00:59:54.020 a little bit easier

00:59:54.600 and then it becomes

00:59:55.420 a crutch

00:59:55.880 then it becomes

00:59:56.280 a thing you need

00:59:57.200 right

00:59:57.420 so we're creating

00:59:58.620 needs

00:59:59.340 it's not that a lot

01:00:01.160 of this technology

01:00:01.760 fills a need

01:00:02.580 it's that it creates

01:00:03.560 the need

01:00:03.980 that didn't exist

01:00:04.740 before

01:00:05.180 and now

01:00:06.200 we need it

01:00:07.040 because we're

01:00:08.180 too incompetent

01:00:08.760 to do the thing

01:00:09.200 that we could do

01:00:09.920 on our own

01:00:10.280 before

01:00:10.560 okay

01:00:11.080 and you see

01:00:12.180 this all over

01:00:14.160 the place

01:00:14.460 I mean

01:00:14.740 I'm sure

01:00:16.200 depending on what

01:00:17.480 you do for a living

01:00:18.080 you probably see

01:00:18.540 a lot more

01:00:18.860 of this than I do

01:00:19.360 but even I

01:00:19.880 you know

01:00:21.540 emails

01:00:21.960 it's like

01:00:23.980 80% of the emails

01:00:25.560 I get now

01:00:26.280 are clearly AI

01:00:28.280 clearly people use

01:00:30.300 chat GPT

01:00:30.920 or AI

01:00:31.300 or whatever

01:00:31.780 or Google

01:00:32.500 Gmail

01:00:32.900 built in AI

01:00:33.760 thing

01:00:34.060 it's like

01:00:36.280 80% of the emails

01:00:37.040 I don't know

01:00:37.640 maybe 60%

01:00:38.440 but a majority

01:00:39.360 of the emails

01:00:39.740 I get

01:00:40.140 clearly the person

01:00:41.280 used AI

01:00:41.800 to write it

01:00:42.560 and it's like

01:00:44.540 well

01:00:44.800 but you know

01:00:45.780 you know

01:00:46.060 how to write

01:00:46.500 an email

01:00:47.040 and it's not

01:00:47.880 even like

01:00:48.240 these are

01:00:48.620 really complicated

01:00:49.280 emails

01:00:49.700 or somebody

01:00:50.140 had to write

01:00:50.520 five paragraphs

01:00:51.220 explain

01:00:51.580 it's just

01:00:52.340 basic

01:00:53.020 emails

01:00:53.680 one paragraph

01:00:54.940 three sentences

01:00:55.720 whatever

01:00:56.140 people are using

01:00:57.360 AI to do that

01:00:58.320 you know

01:01:00.140 how to do

01:01:00.580 that

01:01:00.840 you have

01:01:01.660 a basic

01:01:02.460 thought

01:01:02.980 you want

01:01:03.280 to share

01:01:03.720 or a request

01:01:04.620 or something

01:01:05.200 you know

01:01:06.580 how to write

01:01:07.040 that

01:01:07.380 just write

01:01:08.180 it

01:01:08.320 you don't

01:01:08.560 need

01:01:08.760 AI

01:01:09.220 to do

01:01:09.580 that

01:01:09.740 for you

01:01:10.200 well

01:01:10.900 people use

01:01:11.400 AI

01:01:11.640 for that

01:01:12.060 and before

01:01:12.760 long

01:01:13.280 they really

01:01:13.720 are not

01:01:14.100 going to

01:01:14.340 now we have

01:01:15.060 a whole bunch

01:01:15.320 of people

01:01:15.580 who can't

01:01:16.220 even write

01:01:16.560 an email

01:01:16.880 if they want

01:01:18.220 to send

01:01:18.700 an email

01:01:19.120 to like

01:01:19.540 set up

01:01:19.920 a meeting

01:01:20.360 right

01:01:21.200 the dreaded

01:01:22.200 email

01:01:22.660 about a

01:01:23.080 meeting

01:01:23.360 we're pretty

01:01:24.860 soon

01:01:25.040 going to be

01:01:25.200 a situation

01:01:25.580 where a lot

01:01:25.940 of people

01:01:26.180 don't even

01:01:26.880 know how

01:01:27.340 to write

01:01:27.940 that

01:01:28.340 because

01:01:29.460 they need

01:01:29.820 without

01:01:30.260 AI

01:01:30.600 we've all

01:01:32.900 seen this

01:01:33.240 happen

01:01:33.580 with

01:01:33.880 we've all

01:01:34.940 seen this

01:01:35.180 happen

01:01:35.340 with GPS

01:01:35.900 you know

01:01:36.520 it's a

01:01:36.780 classic

01:01:37.080 example

01:01:37.620 which is

01:01:39.400 not AI

01:01:39.860 but it's

01:01:40.760 as I said

01:01:41.220 a lot

01:01:41.460 of modern

01:01:41.860 technology

01:01:42.280 is like

01:01:42.640 this

01:01:42.880 where

01:01:43.220 it's

01:01:45.660 it's

01:01:47.160 happened

01:01:47.360 to me

01:01:47.600 I mean

01:01:47.800 I think

01:01:47.980 it's

01:01:48.080 happened

01:01:48.180 to everyone

01:01:48.440 to some

01:01:48.740 extent

01:01:49.020 try to

01:01:49.360 resist

01:01:49.660 it

01:01:49.880 but you

01:01:51.080 know

01:01:51.140 you got

01:01:51.400 GPS

01:01:51.980 and it

01:01:52.620 starts

01:01:52.920 as this

01:01:53.280 thing

01:01:53.580 that like

01:01:53.980 it's a

01:01:54.360 tool

01:01:54.640 and it's

01:01:56.000 more efficient

01:01:56.540 than

01:01:56.900 using a

01:01:57.980 map

01:01:58.320 or

01:01:58.520 after

01:01:58.980 before

01:01:59.820 GPS

01:02:00.200 it was

01:02:00.460 MapQuest

01:02:01.000 used to

01:02:01.260 be a

01:02:01.500 thing

01:02:01.720 for like

01:02:02.060 six years

01:02:02.480 and it's

01:02:04.580 more efficient

01:02:05.180 it tells

01:02:05.960 you how

01:02:06.140 to get

01:02:06.300 like

01:02:06.620 GPS

01:02:07.220 okay

01:02:07.520 it tells

01:02:07.960 you how

01:02:08.120 to get

01:02:08.260 to places

01:02:08.560 you don't

01:02:08.880 know how

01:02:09.060 to get

01:02:09.260 to

01:02:09.460 okay

01:02:11.100 well then

01:02:12.340 people start

01:02:12.720 using it

01:02:13.360 all the

01:02:13.740 time

01:02:14.080 you know

01:02:14.600 people start

01:02:14.960 using

01:02:15.360 GPS

01:02:16.020 whenever

01:02:16.720 they go

01:02:17.100 anywhere

01:02:17.520 and you

01:02:19.000 can kind

01:02:19.220 of justify

01:02:19.620 that

01:02:19.860 because

01:02:20.080 GPS

01:02:20.420 now

01:02:20.680 tells

01:02:20.920 you

01:02:21.000 about

01:02:21.120 traffic

01:02:21.480 patterns

01:02:21.980 it can

01:02:22.340 give

01:02:22.500 you

01:02:22.580 different

01:02:22.820 options

01:02:23.280 for

01:02:23.480 routes

01:02:23.800 it tells

01:02:24.160 you

01:02:24.360 how long

01:02:25.240 you know

01:02:25.820 how long

01:02:26.140 it's going

01:02:26.320 to take

01:02:26.480 to get

01:02:26.700 there

01:02:26.880 if there's

01:02:27.120 traffic

01:02:27.380 it routes

01:02:27.760 you around

01:02:28.120 and so

01:02:29.100 a lot of

01:02:29.400 people I do

01:02:29.740 this too

01:02:30.120 like I turn

01:02:31.700 on the GPS

01:02:32.200 even if I know

01:02:32.900 100% I know

01:02:33.640 how to get

01:02:33.900 to the place

01:02:34.360 but I put it

01:02:34.860 on anyway

01:02:35.340 especially if I

01:02:36.140 got to go

01:02:36.380 on the highway

01:02:36.740 to get there

01:02:37.220 because you

01:02:38.080 know it tells

01:02:38.520 me about

01:02:38.760 traffic and

01:02:39.220 stuff like

01:02:39.500 that and

01:02:39.760 also just

01:02:40.080 kind of a

01:02:40.400 force of

01:02:40.700 habit

01:02:40.960 and then

01:02:41.740 before long

01:02:42.420 you don't

01:02:43.200 know how to

01:02:43.480 get anywhere

01:02:43.940 anymore

01:02:44.240 because you

01:02:44.700 use GPS

01:02:45.140 for

01:02:45.340 everything

01:02:45.680 before long

01:02:47.400 you turn

01:02:47.700 around

01:02:47.900 you're like

01:02:48.160 I don't

01:02:48.380 even know

01:02:48.640 how to

01:02:48.860 you don't

01:02:49.340 actually

01:02:49.600 if your

01:02:50.280 GPS

01:02:50.560 didn't work

01:02:51.240 you wouldn't

01:02:51.500 be able

01:02:51.700 to get

01:02:51.900 down to

01:02:52.280 the pharmacy

01:02:53.120 down the

01:02:53.460 street

01:02:53.620 you wouldn't

01:02:54.260 be able

01:02:54.440 to drive

01:02:54.760 to work

01:02:55.240 17 minutes

01:02:56.280 away

01:02:56.580 because you've

01:02:59.100 come to rely

01:02:59.620 on this thing

01:03:00.060 to do things

01:03:00.640 that actually

01:03:01.080 you do know

01:03:01.700 how to do

01:03:02.080 or at least

01:03:02.440 you used

01:03:02.860 to

01:03:03.100 and so

01:03:04.740 that is

01:03:05.100 my concern

01:03:06.180 is that

01:03:06.600 pretty soon

01:03:07.080 that's what's

01:03:08.020 going to happen

01:03:08.340 here as well

01:03:08.800 this Christmas

01:03:09.720 season

01:03:10.160 it's

01:03:10.580 you know

01:03:10.940 this season's

01:03:11.540 full of

01:03:11.920 gratitude

01:03:12.300 friends

01:03:12.940 family

01:03:13.380 and food

01:03:13.900 but between

01:03:14.300 travel costs

01:03:15.000 groceries

01:03:15.440 and rising

01:03:15.900 costs

01:03:16.200 generally

01:03:16.540 your wallet

01:03:17.080 might be

01:03:17.520 feeling the

01:03:17.880 squeeze

01:03:18.160 if financial

01:03:18.780 stress is

01:03:19.220 creeping in

01:03:19.620 this holiday

01:03:19.920 season

01:03:21.680 on your

01:03:21.980 credit health

01:03:23.600 less financial

01:03:24.260 stress all year

01:03:24.980 long and that's
