00:01:06.980 Today on the Matt Walsh show, as more Republicans start to fold on deportations,

00:01:10.820 I want to talk about some very simple policy changes that could be made to help solve the illegal immigration problem.

00:01:16.180 These are solutions that, for some reason, almost nobody's talking about.

00:01:18.840 Also, Don Lemon is finally arrested for the various federal crimes he committed on camera.

00:01:24.260 Plus, the NFL has just hired a chief kindness officer.

00:01:27.700 Yes, a chief kindness officer.

00:01:29.760 Why?

00:01:30.360 Who is this for exactly?

00:01:31.580 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh show.

00:01:33.680 Whenever clear battle lines are drawn on some major national issue,

00:02:02.860 and the left is busy canonizing martyrs and blowing their little whistles every day,

00:02:07.560 one of the hardest things to do is step back and reassess all of your available options at a strategic level.

00:02:13.500 At the moment, for example, it's very easy to conclude that the main dispute in this country concerns ICE raids.

00:02:20.620 You might think that the left opposes ICE raids and the right supports them.

00:02:24.140 You might conclude that at the highest levels of government,

00:02:26.680 the debate is between bleeding-heart leftists who don't want young Juan to be separated from his parents on the one side

00:02:32.820 and hard-nosed right-wingers who simply want the law to be enforced on the other.

00:02:37.400 But there's very good reason to believe that this divide doesn't actually exist,

00:02:41.560 at least not to the extent that we're led to believe.

00:02:44.800 And here's why.

00:02:45.360 Neither major political party has even suggested taking a very simple and straightforward step

00:02:52.280 that would instantly result in the departure of millions of illegal aliens from this country

00:02:59.000 without the need for a single ICE raid.

00:03:02.260 There wouldn't need to be any, quote-unquote, family separations

00:03:05.780 or federal agents with their scary masks that everybody's upset about or anything like that.

00:03:10.560 All you have to do is take this one step and you will solve a significant part of the problem

00:03:18.580 that both parties claim to be concerned about.

00:03:21.900 I'm talking about getting rid of the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, or ITIN.

00:03:28.900 In case you're not familiar with the concept, an ITIN takes the place of a social security number

00:03:33.300 if you're an illegal alien or anyone else without a valid social security number.

00:03:37.100 With an ITIN, an illegal alien can obtain credit. 0.58

00:03:42.820 They can open savings accounts and checking accounts at a bank.

00:03:46.400 They can start a business with an employer identification number.

00:03:49.760 They can work as independent contractors.

00:03:51.920 They can obtain driver's licenses in many states.

00:03:54.880 And they can apply for mortgages.

00:03:57.300 The ITIN has been around for a long time now, since the 1990s,

00:04:01.360 but there was never any vote in Congress to establish it.

00:04:05.160 Instead, the IRS unilaterally created the idea of ITIN in order to make it easier for illegal aliens to pay taxes

00:04:13.060 and to pay into the social security system.

00:04:15.780 The idea was that since the IRS was required by law to tax everybody's income,

00:04:19.600 the agency had the authority to create the ITIN system and allow illegal aliens to use it.

00:04:24.320 And on top of that, the IRS wouldn't alert immigration officials about anyone using an ITIN

00:04:29.500 in order to encourage illegal aliens to register.

00:04:32.000 So the IRS pitched the idea as a win-win.

00:04:35.480 The U.S. would collect more tax revenue and more funding for social security,

00:04:39.700 which the illegal aliens wouldn't be able to tap into.

00:04:41.960 And in turn, illegal aliens could get tax refunds as well as child tax credits.

00:04:47.580 What's happened since the 1990s, of course, is that this rationale,

00:04:50.920 as flimsy as it was to begin with, completely collapsed.

00:04:54.180 First, the ITIN system was premised on the idea that we'd have a secure border.

00:04:58.420 But if the federal government allows foreigners to enter the country at will, 0.90

00:05:01.660 as the Biden administration did, then ITIN allows for massive distortions in the market.

00:05:08.460 There are dozens of lenders that allow foreigners with ITINs to get home loans,

00:05:12.680 from PNC Bank to Wells Fargo to First National Bank.

00:05:15.860 If you're on the market for any kind of home, including a mobile home,

00:05:20.040 then you're competing with every foreigner with an ITIN.

00:05:24.900 Here's just one example that I pulled from X.

00:05:28.800 It's from Triad Financial Services, which is based in Florida,

00:05:32.680 and it states, quote,

00:05:33.900 Smarter financing for manufactured homebuyers.

00:05:36.340 Individual taxpayer identification numbers are now accepted for all chattel programs,

00:05:40.920 gold, silver, and bronze.

00:05:42.200 The advertisement also promises that low down payments are available

00:05:47.820 and that a 550 credit score is more than acceptable.

00:05:52.600 And although it's not supposed to work like this,

00:05:54.500 an ITIN can function like a work authorization, too.

00:05:58.640 Until recently, according to various social media posts and videos,

00:06:01.600 you could use an ITIN to sign up for many major food delivery services, for example.

00:06:06.820 For their part, DoorDash has denied this.

00:06:09.000 They say that they require a social security number,

00:06:10.600 but there are plenty of screenshots where their representatives have told people in the past

00:06:14.660 that they only need an ITIN to create an account.

00:06:18.820 So if you take away this system, which the IRS can do instantly,

00:06:23.020 then you achieve two immediate benefits.

00:06:25.640 First, you lower the price of housing, particularly starter homes for American citizens,

00:06:29.920 simple economics.

00:06:30.760 If fewer people are trying to buy homes, the price will go down.

00:06:33.300 You also lower competition for a lot of jobs.

00:06:35.400 Second, you give illegal aliens a very good reason to leave since they won't have anywhere to live 1.00

00:06:42.140 and they won't have any bank that will accept their money.

00:06:45.660 Now, it's true that there's a very small number of people living in this country

00:06:48.420 who might want to use an ITIN for tax purposes, even though they aren't illegal aliens.

00:06:52.180 If a U.S. citizen marries a foreigner who doesn't have a work authorization for some reason,

00:06:56.240 they might need one of these to file a joint tax return.

00:06:59.640 Or a wealthy foreign investor might make money in the U.S.

00:07:02.880 and he needs an ITIN to pay taxes on investments.

00:07:06.340 These are rare scenarios.

00:07:07.380 And the IRS can easily distinguish these scenarios from an illegal alien who resides in the U.S.

00:07:11.420 and wants an ITIN to purchase a home.

00:07:14.200 So, why is no one in Congress in either party suggesting a change like this?

00:07:20.160 It might not solve every problem, but it would certainly be a big help.

00:07:24.280 Why is everyone fine with an arbitrary system that was invented by the IRS in the 1990s,

00:07:28.760 which enables illegal aliens to act like they have Social Security numbers? 0.52

00:07:33.840 Why are we talking about a crazy ICE nurse and not any kind of systemic issue like this?

00:07:41.620 Now, as best I could tell, the only Republican who's proposing any kind of meaningful legislation

00:07:45.820 on this front is a state lawmaker from Utah named Trevor Lee.

00:07:50.560 This is from a local news station in the state.

00:07:52.400 A bill introduced by Representative Trevor Lee that would end the driving privilege card program

00:07:58.100 for immigrants is currently in the House Rules Committee, waiting to be discussed.

00:08:01.800 A driving privilege card is issued to undocumented immigrants without lawful presence status.

00:08:07.100 It is a Class D license that allows the holder to drive a motor vehicle

00:08:10.180 but cannot be used as identification by any Utah government entity,

00:08:13.860 according to the Driver License Division.

00:08:16.000 These cards can also be issued to individuals who are paroled in the U.S.

00:08:19.420 This is obviously a good idea, but you have to ask,

00:08:22.520 why are states giving driving privilege cards to illegal aliens in the first place? 0.98

00:08:28.220 Why would we do anything to make life easier for people who broke our laws and don't belong here? 1.00

00:08:34.100 Why hasn't Congress passed a federal law banning this practice nationwide?

00:08:38.340 To be clear, most Republicans are not taking Trevor Lee's approach.

00:08:43.400 Instead, the most prominent GOP politicians in Washington,

00:08:47.680 the Republicans with actual power in Congress, many of them,

00:08:51.700 are currently taking the Democrat position on illegal migration.

00:08:55.800 Here's Tom Tillis, the senator from North Carolina, just the other day.

00:08:59.800 Watch.

00:09:00.040 What message will it send to the country if Christine Nelm continues as Secretary of Homeland Security? 0.73

00:09:07.240 That we're allowing incompetent people in very prominent roles in the cabinet.

00:09:11.700 I mean, because the president doesn't seem to be willing to get rid of her.

00:09:14.880 He has confidence in her, he says.

00:09:16.120 I don't have any confidence.

00:09:17.640 Look, we're about to map out something I've tried to work diplomatically on,

00:09:24.040 but she's a complete failure on a disaster response. 1.00

00:09:27.120 There's no comparison between his homeland security and President Trump's first term and this one.

00:09:32.860 They're asleep at the switch.

00:09:34.840 They're pushing paper and doing doge and causing people not to get badly needed resources down there.

00:09:42.600 She clearly doesn't know how to manage. 1.00

00:09:44.240 She's never managed a large organization, and she's failing at every possible measure of the job.

00:09:50.040 Now, it's almost word for word what Ilhan Omar was saying before the alien from the first Men in Black movie squirted some vinegar on her.

00:09:59.960 There's really no daylight between a senior Republican senator from a red state and a Muslim communist who openly despises this country and wants to destroy it from within. 0.88

00:10:07.160 And the reason these two politicians are in total agreement is that a leftist domestic terrorist who deliberately instigated several violent confrontations with ICE agents in order to obstruct them received exactly the fate that he was looking for.

00:10:19.760 And it's not just Tom Tillis who's leaving Noam out to dry.

00:10:23.640 This is from NBC News.

00:10:24.620 Lisa Markowski from Alaska, whose term runs until January 2029, said Noam should not be running DHS.

00:10:31.900 Yes, she should go, Markowski said.

00:10:33.560 Senate Majority Leader John Thune sidesteped Tuesday when asked if he had confidence in Noam.

00:10:38.540 She serves the pleasure of the president.

00:10:39.740 He told reporters the important thing is that the president's got confidence in his team.

00:10:44.060 Centrist Senator Susan Collins from Maine, who chairs the Appropriations Committee that controls the DHS budget, didn't go as far as Markowski or Tillis when asked about Noam.

00:10:52.320 I've urged her to have a pause in both Minnesota and Maine on this surge of enforcement.

00:10:57.960 You know, it's always the case that when Democrat and Republican establishments agree on something, and many of them agree right now on this, well, we need to pause.

00:11:07.020 We need to pull back.

00:11:08.000 We need to moderate a bit.

00:11:11.500 And when you see that, you need to look very closely at why they agree.

00:11:15.840 It's not because they're losing sleep over a psychotic nurse who got himself killed.

00:11:19.560 It's not because they can't stomach the concept of immigration enforcement.

00:11:23.440 To be clear, right now, Democrats are going on camera and threatening physical retribution against ICE agents for doing their job.

00:11:32.840 This is the party that Republicans are, some of them, siding with when it comes to the job of the Homeland Security Secretary.

00:11:38.980 Here's New Jersey's governor, for example.

00:11:41.280 Listen to this.

00:11:41.780 I've already met with AG.

00:11:44.600 We are putting out information on helping New Jerseans know their rights.

00:11:50.080 We are not going to allow any ICE raids to be staged from state properties.

00:11:54.980 And we are also going to be standing up a portal so people can upload all their cell phone videos and alert people.

00:12:02.660 Like, if you see an ICE agent in the street, get your phone out.

00:12:05.460 We want to know because they have not been forthcoming.

00:12:13.240 They will pick people up.

00:12:14.260 They will not tell us who they are.

00:12:15.960 They will not tell us if they're here legally.

00:12:18.300 They won't check.

00:12:19.120 They'll pick up American citizens. 0.99

00:12:20.500 They picked up a five-year-old child.

00:12:22.340 We want documentation, and we are going to make sure we get it.

00:12:27.440 No, she's totally lying, of course, but everything she just said.

00:12:30.240 Like, this is not legal.

00:12:31.660 This is not even close to legal, obviously.

00:12:33.740 Creating a database for people to use in their efforts to obstruct law enforcement.

00:12:42.440 This is a criminal conspiracy.

00:12:46.980 And you'd think it would take an awful lot for Republicans to join forces with somebody like this.

00:12:50.780 She's advocating for the creation of a database that leftists can use to harass, attack, and ultimately murder ICE agents. 0.99

00:12:59.300 But maybe it's not so surprising to see bipartisan agreement on this point.

00:13:02.120 Because, after all, the business interests that largely fund both parties have become very happy with, if not dependent on, the fact that millions of illegal aliens with fake Social Security numbers provided by the IRS are working for their companies and taking out their loans.

00:13:18.820 That would explain why the Cato Institute, which is supposedly a libertarian think tank, although it's really an arm of the Democrat Party that Republicans pretend to take seriously, just put out this remarkable video along with some accompanying research.

00:13:32.860 Now, watch as Cato attempts to make the argument that American citizens are more of a drain on our welfare system than illegal aliens.

00:13:39.880 Watch.

00:13:40.120 Immigrant consumption of welfare benefits is a huge issue in the immigration debate.

00:13:46.560 And it makes sense because the federal government and state governments spend about $3.4 trillion a year in welfare benefits in the United States.

00:13:55.120 But when you drill down into the data, what you find is that immigrants consume, on a per capita basis, 24% fewer welfare benefits than native-born Americans do.

00:14:06.400 And then when you drill down even further, you find that non-citizens consume 53% less. 0.55

00:14:11.520 And non-citizens, that includes illegal immigrants, green card holders, student visas, all the above.

00:14:16.100 So while the welfare state is a big problem in American politics, and it's a huge issue that so many people are on welfare, it's not an imported problem.

00:14:24.680 It's a native-born, homegrown problem. 1.00

00:14:27.320 And if you really want to do something about it, what we should do is build a higher wall around the welfare state, not around the country.

00:14:33.700 If you want to read more about this research, come to Cato.org to read about immigrant and native-born consumption of welfare and entitlement benefits.

00:14:42.100 Now, the point of this video is to provide Republicans with a talking point, which they can use as an excuse for caving on immigration enforcement.

00:14:51.940 It's completely dishonest.

00:14:53.220 I mean, first of all, to be clear, he's counting Social Security as welfare, even though it's really a Ponzi scheme that you pay into and that you can only access when you're relatively old.

00:15:01.840 Obviously, illegal aliens, many of whom do not arrive in this country at the age of 65, are not going to be receiving a lot of Social Security benefits.

00:15:08.480 But more importantly, if you do what he says and actually read the research on Cato's website, here's what you'll find.

00:15:15.420 Quote, all comparisons in this brief are calculated on a per capita basis rather than per household, which avoids attributing native-born welfare consumption to immigrants living in mixed status households.

00:15:25.320 What this means is that if an illegal alien has 10 children in the U.S. in her household and every single one of those 10 anchor babies receives food stamps and free education and free housing for life, then under Cato's statistical model, they don't count as immigrants receiving welfare. 0.74

00:15:41.780 After all, thanks to birthright citizenship, those 10 anchor babies are U.S. citizens.

00:15:45.180 So you're not allowed to count any of those benefits that those anchor babies receive, according to Cato.

00:15:51.000 Obviously, the point of this statistic is to obscure the enormous toll that illegal aliens and their offspring have on our economy. 1.00

00:15:59.360 And of course, the Cato study doesn't account for the billions of dollars in fraud that illegal aliens commit every year. 0.80

00:16:06.220 In just one state, Minnesota, they've been caught stealing hundreds of millions of dollars in a matter of months, as we all know now.

00:16:12.120 It's not just happening in Minnesota.

00:16:13.400 Here's a recent case from Massachusetts where some Haitian migrants set up a couple of fraudulent grocery stores and robbed the SNAP program out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. 0.99

00:16:24.080 Again, it's just one case.

00:16:25.340 Watch.

00:16:26.900 Bonner, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Haiti, owned the Gisuela Variety Store.

00:16:35.540 Elise May, a lawful permanent resident also from Haiti, owned the Saoul Maché Mixé Store.

00:16:41.620 These two businesses were co-located within a single storefront in Boston.

00:16:48.040 To be certain, these were not supermarkets.

00:16:51.140 They were not full-service groceries.

00:16:53.580 It would be a huge stretch to even call them convenience stores.

00:16:57.560 In fact, the only thing convenient about these stores was how easy it was to commit SNAP benefit fraud.

00:17:03.560 To put this in perspective, the Gisuela Variety Store is less than 150 square feet in size, smaller than some bathrooms.

00:17:14.060 The Saoul Maché Mixé Store was approximately 500 square feet in space.

00:17:18.660 By contrast, a supermarket can be 20,000 to 60,000 square feet in size, have a dozen or more registers, and employ numerous employees.

00:17:29.540 Both the Gisuela Variety and Saoul Maché Mixé stores had one register, no carriages, no handbaskets, and very little food for sale.

00:17:39.720 One legitimate supermarket in the same area as these stores redeems approximately $80,000 in SNAP benefits per month.

00:17:49.960 Over the last 20 months, the Gisuela Variety Store was redeeming between three and six times that amount monthly,

00:17:58.800 with nowhere near the space, inventory, customers, or infrastructure to support it.

00:18:04.420 The Saoul Maché Mixé Store redeemed over $120,000 in SNAP benefits in the last six months.

00:18:14.600 Now, if you end the SNAP program, all this stops.

00:18:17.420 As we discussed before, the SNAP program should obviously be terminated.

00:18:20.720 Contrary to what that woman said, the SNAP program does not prevent Americans from going hungry.

00:18:25.780 Roughly three-quarters of adult food stamp beneficiaries are overweight or obese.

00:18:30.000 I'll say that again, three-quarters of SNAP recipients are overweight or obese.

00:18:36.020 They are not starving at all. It's not even close.

00:18:38.900 Millions of these people claim to be disabled, so they don't have to work.

00:18:42.500 They just upload TikTok videos all day about all the free food they're getting.

00:18:45.860 Is there any sane person who really thinks that one in eight Americans, more than 40 million people,

00:18:50.340 really need taxpayer assistance or else they'll starve?

00:18:54.260 What do people think this is? Mogadishu?

00:18:56.160 And then, once we get rid of SNAP, we should get rid of the ITIN system as well.

00:19:02.620 Start scrapping programs like this one by one, and the illegal aliens will leave much faster than we could deport them. 1.00

00:19:10.360 I'm all in favor of deporting them. We should be deporting them.

00:19:13.360 We should go in and find every single one of them and deport them.

00:19:15.780 But we could also be doing this.

00:19:19.000 You take away all the incentives for them to come in the first place,

00:19:21.900 and all the systems they're using to take advantage of this country.

00:19:28.300 You do that, and it solves this problem a lot quicker.

00:19:32.120 Democrats and Republicans both know that.

00:19:35.080 Every politician telling Kristi Noem to resign is doing so for a simple reason.

00:19:40.260 They want you to focus on the most incendiary and dumb political drama instead of the larger strategic picture.

00:19:47.620 They don't want you asking, like, okay, what systems can we actually put it?

00:19:50.520 What systemic changes can we make that would actually solve this problem?

00:19:55.780 Because there are plenty. There are solutions.

00:20:01.180 But they don't want to talk about that.

00:20:04.360 What Tom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski and Ilhan Omar all want, basically the same.

00:20:11.220 In response, the Trump administration, which has already shown some signs of folding,

00:20:17.060 doesn't simply need to stand firm.

00:20:19.600 They need to escalate the fight against illegal migrants in a strategic and sensible way. 0.99

00:20:26.540 Treat them like any foreign invasion force, along with the deportations. 0.81

00:20:33.800 Cut off their supply lines.

00:20:36.660 The IRS doesn't need their tax money.

00:20:38.660 We need them to get out of the country. 0.89

00:20:42.000 And if we stop focusing on lesbian agitators and deranged ICU nurses who got what they were asking for, 0.92

00:20:48.380 we can make that happen.

00:20:50.820 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:20:58.340 Ash Wednesday is just a few weeks away,

00:21:00.420 which means it's time to start thinking about what you're going to do for Lent.

00:21:03.400 And no, giving up soda while mainlining energy drinks doesn't really count.

00:21:07.820 We're talking about what you'll actually give up,

00:21:10.100 and more importantly, how you want this season to change you

00:21:12.580 beyond just white-knuckling it through 40 days.

00:21:37.540 But don't worry, Crux isn't about extreme penance or white-knuckled self-improvement.

00:22:15.760 Here's some good news from The Daily Wire.

00:22:17.660 Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested in Los Angeles on Thursday

00:22:20.760 for allegedly violating the law for his role in an anti-ice protest

00:22:24.940 at a Minnesota church earlier this month, as attorneys say.

00:22:28.040 A statement from Lemon's attorney, Abby Lowell,

00:22:32.160 said he was arrested by federal authorities on Thursday night

00:22:36.340 while covering the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

00:22:39.000 Don has been a journalist for 30 years,

00:22:40.360 and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis

00:22:41.900 was no different than what he has always done.

00:22:43.880 The First Amendment exists to protect journalists

00:22:46.300 whose role it is to shine light on the truth

00:22:48.380 and hold those in power accountable.

00:22:50.760 There's no more important time for people like Don

00:22:53.080 to be doing this work.

00:22:54.780 That's the statement.

00:22:56.480 Well, this is great news,

00:22:57.980 and the case against Don Lemon is airtight.

00:23:01.200 He filmed himself committing felonies.

00:23:03.740 That's it.

00:23:05.020 There is no First Amendment excuse here.

00:23:08.500 Lemon was not a neutral observer.

00:23:11.100 He was not a journalist dispassionately documenting the events.

00:23:16.640 His own words condemn him.

00:23:18.460 He was very clearly on their side.

00:23:21.680 That's not journalism.

00:23:25.080 You're going along with them and cheering them on.

00:23:27.820 That is not journalism.

00:23:31.500 He was taking part in it.

00:23:33.280 He was promoting it.

00:23:34.360 He was defending it while it was happening.

00:23:36.240 The fact that he had a camera doesn't mean anything.

00:23:40.880 There's no camera exception to federal law.

00:23:43.300 Here's basically what the left is arguing right now

00:23:44.980 and what his lawyer is going to argue.

00:23:49.740 Can't blame the lawyer.

00:23:51.220 That's the lawyer's job.

00:23:52.560 You've got to come up with some excuse.

00:23:55.580 But every Democrat right now and everyone on the left,

00:23:58.920 they're doing the same thing.

00:24:00.320 Basically, their argument is that if you're committing a crime,

00:24:05.260 but you film it while you're doing it,

00:24:07.840 then it doesn't count.

00:24:11.400 Well, actually, there's no fine print that says that actually a crime

00:24:14.840 isn't a crime if you film it.

00:24:17.540 Like if there was a...

00:24:18.220 Let's say there was a...

00:24:19.700 I saw a group of people stealing a car.

00:24:24.480 Okay?

00:24:25.700 And I see it happening,

00:24:27.480 and I pull out my phone,

00:24:29.280 and I record it from a distance,

00:24:30.940 from the outside,

00:24:33.600 and to document what is happening.

00:24:37.760 Right?

00:24:38.040 Now, you could argue that rather than recording,

00:24:39.680 I should call the police or something.

00:24:40.660 But let's just say that.

00:24:42.160 I see someone stealing a car.

00:24:43.880 I pull out my phone.

00:24:44.980 Oh, my gosh.

00:24:45.380 These people are stealing a car.

00:24:46.560 Look at this.

00:24:48.860 Well, in that case,

00:24:49.680 nobody would say that I should be charged

00:24:52.540 for helping to steal the car

00:24:53.880 because, objectively, I didn't.

00:24:56.640 Like, I didn't know this was going to happen.

00:24:58.280 I was not involved in any way at all.

00:25:00.900 I'm simply documenting it.

00:25:03.440 You get into the ethics of documenting in these cases

00:25:06.100 versus intervening or whatever,

00:25:08.080 but you certainly can't say that I stole the car.

00:25:11.440 But if I go with them,

00:25:15.220 okay,

00:25:15.880 if I...

00:25:17.220 Let's follow the whole chain of events.

00:25:19.020 If I know they're about to go steal a car,

00:25:20.800 and I go with them

00:25:23.760 filming,

00:25:25.640 and I get in the car with them

00:25:28.540 as they're stealing it,

00:25:30.740 hop in the back seat

00:25:31.860 and drive away with them,

00:25:34.200 and on top of that,

00:25:36.580 as I'm filming it,

00:25:38.320 I am verbally affirming

00:25:40.680 and encouraging everything they're doing.

00:25:43.460 Well, in that case,

00:25:44.800 no sane person

00:25:46.300 would buy my excuse

00:25:48.680 if I said,

00:25:49.300 no, I was just a journalist.

00:25:50.900 I'm just a journalist.

00:25:52.560 I'm just an innocent journalist.

00:25:57.600 While I'm with them,

00:25:59.440 yeah, steal the car.

00:26:00.700 Let's go.

00:26:01.500 Get out of here.

00:26:02.000 The cops are coming.

00:26:03.760 Nobody would buy that I'm a journalist.

00:26:08.760 No, in that case,

00:26:09.700 I'm as guilty as the thieves themselves

00:26:11.520 because I am a thief.

00:26:12.740 I'm taking part in the crime,

00:26:14.300 and that's exactly what Don Lemon did.

00:26:17.060 Don Lemon falls into the latter category,

00:26:22.140 not the former.

00:26:23.040 He's not the guy

00:26:23.980 who just happened to see this happen

00:26:25.840 and takes out the camera.

00:26:28.440 Oh, my gosh,

00:26:28.880 look at what's going on.

00:26:29.700 He was with them in the parking lot

00:26:32.480 before they went in.

00:26:34.120 He's on camera

00:26:35.180 talking about what they're about to do,

00:26:38.020 and the whole time

00:26:40.100 he's cheering it on.

00:26:41.320 And so they have him dead to rights,

00:26:46.140 and that's it.

00:26:47.440 Now, I will say one word of caution about this

00:26:49.460 that I think is important

00:26:50.240 is that this is a gamble.

00:26:53.800 Okay, to arrest Don Lemon

00:26:55.220 is a gamble.

00:26:57.180 I think it's the right gamble to take.

00:26:58.580 I fully support it,

00:27:00.220 clearly.

00:27:01.360 I mean, I've been calling for him

00:27:02.300 to be arrested since it happened,

00:27:04.400 so I'm happy that he's arrested.

00:27:05.480 He should be arrested.

00:27:06.920 However,

00:27:08.520 the caveat here

00:27:10.900 is that you have to actually convict him

00:27:13.320 and send him to prison.

00:27:17.780 Okay, you must.

00:27:20.180 Because if you don't do that,

00:27:22.100 then the whole thing

00:27:23.540 is a net loss, big time.

00:27:25.460 It's a loss for the good guys.

00:27:27.120 It's a win for Don Lemon

00:27:28.360 and the bad guys.

00:27:30.560 If you don't convict him

00:27:32.600 and actually send him to prison

00:27:34.620 for a considerable length of time.

00:27:38.480 I mean, the Biden DOJ

00:27:39.440 was going after

00:27:40.960 10-year prison sentences

00:27:42.360 for FACE Act violations.

00:27:45.500 That's what it should be.

00:27:47.740 Like a decade in prison.

00:27:52.880 Because here's the problem.

00:27:54.460 If you don't do that,

00:27:56.880 let's say you don't get a conviction

00:27:57.860 or you end up with a plea deal

00:27:59.760 where he's on probation or something

00:28:01.900 or he spends two days in jail,

00:28:03.880 he pays a fine, whatever.

00:28:06.420 Any scenario like that

00:28:07.860 is a huge L, right?

00:28:11.240 Because all that means is that,

00:28:12.740 well, now Don Lemon

00:28:13.800 is more famous than he's ever been.

00:28:15.920 He's a martyr.

00:28:17.080 He's more prominent

00:28:18.080 than he ever was before.

00:28:19.780 He'll probably get a job

00:28:20.860 on cable news again,

00:28:21.820 whereas before he was

00:28:22.580 persona non grata.

00:28:24.760 Prior to this,

00:28:25.580 Don Lemon

00:28:26.000 had washed out

00:28:27.500 of the cable news industry.

00:28:28.560 He was hated by everybody,

00:28:29.760 even on CNN.

00:28:31.100 They all hated him.

00:28:31.740 Everyone hated him.

00:28:32.400 And he was irrelevant.

00:28:34.880 Nobody watched his show.

00:28:35.940 He was doing some YouTube show.

00:28:37.280 And if you go look at the numbers,

00:28:38.620 it's like nobody's watching.

00:28:40.220 He's doing this show for nobody.

00:28:43.160 It's like we barely even remember

00:28:45.760 that he's alive, right?

00:28:49.140 Prior to this,

00:28:49.800 if you heard about Don Lemon,

00:28:50.700 you said,

00:28:50.940 oh, that guy's still alive?

00:28:52.460 Oh, yeah, yeah, him.

00:28:54.300 Okay.

00:28:54.640 Well, now he's more prominent

00:28:59.120 than ever.

00:29:02.420 And so if there's no real consequence,

00:29:04.860 then it's just a win for him.

00:29:06.180 Like, it's just great.

00:29:07.460 If he doesn't have to go to jail for this,

00:29:09.560 then this is fantastic for him.

00:29:13.180 This is a huge win.

00:29:15.380 He's a martyr.

00:29:16.200 He's more prominent.

00:29:16.820 He's more famous.

00:29:20.480 Probably gets a job again.

00:29:21.800 And the only way to make it a win

00:29:25.600 is for the reward

00:29:27.380 to not be worth the cost.

00:29:33.040 Right?

00:29:33.480 That's the only way.

00:29:35.720 And the other thing is

00:29:36.620 you put him in prison.

00:29:38.980 And even if he's only in prison

00:29:40.940 for a few years,

00:29:42.140 by the time he gets out,

00:29:43.840 everyone's forgotten about this

00:29:45.660 and nobody cares anymore.

00:29:48.760 So at a minimum,

00:29:49.920 you have to put him in prison

00:29:51.720 until the point

00:29:53.940 where the left has forgotten about him

00:29:55.980 and moved on,

00:29:56.580 which they will pretty quickly.

00:29:59.940 And so then he spends time in prison,

00:30:01.340 he comes out,

00:30:01.760 and he's still irrelevant.

00:30:05.400 You got to do that.

00:30:07.760 So this is the first step.

00:30:09.880 That's the caution

00:30:10.640 against the people on the right

00:30:12.040 that are celebrating.

00:30:12.920 Like, this is a...

00:30:13.340 It's not a win yet.

00:30:14.720 Just making an arrest

00:30:16.040 is not a win.

00:30:17.960 You have to punish them.

00:30:19.520 The arrest is not...

00:30:21.100 An arrest by itself

00:30:22.400 is not only not a punishment,

00:30:24.340 but it can be a reward

00:30:25.860 for someone in a position like this

00:30:28.120 if it is not followed

00:30:29.520 by an actual punishment.

00:30:33.660 So that's the word of caution.

00:30:35.680 Getting a wide variety

00:30:36.740 of whole food ingredients

00:30:37.720 into my diet

00:30:38.420 is key for me this year,

00:32:14.560 Here's an update from Fox.

00:32:15.640 A man accused of attacking

00:32:16.560 Representative Ilhan Omar

00:32:17.640 during a town hall event

00:32:18.700 on Tuesday,

00:32:19.820 purportedly sprayed

00:32:20.540 what's believed to be

00:32:21.320 apple cider vinegar

00:32:22.560 on the congresswoman.

00:32:24.600 Anthony James Kazmierczak,

00:32:27.100 55,

00:32:27.800 was seen on video

00:32:28.880 lunging at Omar 0.93

00:32:29.460 while spraying

00:32:29.960 an unknown substance

00:32:30.840 and now we know

00:32:31.860 that it's apple cider vinegar.

00:32:35.340 By the way,

00:32:35.940 Omar is very impressed

00:32:36.780 with herself.

00:32:37.460 She responded

00:32:38.320 to somebody on X

00:32:39.060 questioning

00:32:39.560 why she didn't react differently

00:32:41.580 if she thought

00:32:42.580 it was a toxic substance.

00:32:43.720 A lot of people

00:32:44.160 are asking

00:32:44.560 if she thought

00:32:45.060 it was a toxic substance

00:32:46.000 why didn't you

00:32:47.220 seek medical attention

00:32:48.180 or at least wash,

00:32:50.640 change your shirt,

00:32:52.400 wash your hands

00:32:53.560 or something.

00:32:55.560 And Ilhan responded

00:32:56.680 to that,

00:32:57.180 said,

00:32:57.600 I didn't do any of those things

00:32:58.440 because I fear

00:32:59.180 losing my dignity

00:33:00.240 more than I fear

00:33:01.060 losing my life. 1.00

00:33:02.700 Something you coward losers 1.00

00:33:04.180 will never understand, 1.00

00:33:05.600 so f*** off. 1.00

00:33:06.460 Right, 1.00

00:33:10.060 she fears losing

00:33:10.720 her dignity.

00:33:12.280 Well,

00:33:12.680 too late for that,

00:33:13.340 Ilhan.

00:33:15.500 You know,

00:33:15.940 that went out the window

00:33:16.600 when you married

00:33:17.200 your brother, 0.97

00:33:17.840 you freak. 0.94

00:33:20.040 You're going to lose 0.91

00:33:20.660 your dignity?

00:33:21.180 You don't have

00:33:21.480 any dignity to lose.

00:33:25.600 Yeah,

00:33:25.960 that went out the window

00:33:26.520 when you used

00:33:27.200 your position in Congress

00:33:28.120 to enrich yourself

00:33:29.300 exponentially.

00:33:31.400 How are you

00:33:31.920 a multi-millionaire

00:33:32.900 now,

00:33:33.640 Ilhan?

00:33:33.940 So you're

00:33:37.300 dignity,

00:33:37.580 you don't have

00:33:37.860 any dignity, 1.00

00:33:39.360 you despicable 1.00

00:33:40.180 scum. 1.00

00:33:43.160 But also, 1.00

00:33:44.220 it was apple cider

00:33:45.220 vinegar,

00:33:45.820 okay?

00:33:46.180 Calm down,

00:33:46.920 drama queen.

00:33:48.540 Like,

00:33:48.680 this woman got 0.98

00:33:49.080 sprayed with

00:33:49.620 two teaspoons

00:33:50.200 of salad dressing

00:33:51.160 and she's like

00:33:52.080 acting like

00:33:52.580 it was a death

00:33:53.080 sentence.

00:33:53.960 I do not fear

00:33:55.020 death.

00:33:57.380 She's doused

00:33:58.120 with a thimble

00:33:58.740 full of vinegar.

00:34:00.260 I do not fear

00:34:01.460 death.

00:34:03.940 I fear no man.

00:34:06.940 Okay.

00:34:08.420 And this whole thing

00:34:09.180 is very weird.

00:34:09.960 You know,

00:34:10.100 I've already said

00:34:10.800 that the fact

00:34:11.260 the guy was

00:34:11.700 arrested,

00:34:12.220 the fact that

00:34:12.640 it was

00:34:13.080 done out

00:34:15.420 in the open

00:34:15.980 and

00:34:16.640 we

00:34:17.900 have the

00:34:21.300 culprit in

00:34:21.780 custody

00:34:22.140 would seem

00:34:23.080 to negate

00:34:23.620 the possibility

00:34:24.380 of a hoax

00:34:25.960 because that's

00:34:27.080 not usually

00:34:27.700 how leftists

00:34:28.440 do their

00:34:29.080 hoaxes.

00:34:30.720 But

00:34:31.280 at the same

00:34:32.700 time,

00:34:33.940 so there

00:34:34.420 is that

00:34:34.780 like a lot

00:34:35.560 of people

00:34:35.740 think it's

00:34:36.100 a hoax

00:34:36.520 and what

00:34:37.560 I said

00:34:37.900 when this

00:34:38.140 first happened

00:34:38.700 was I could

00:34:39.360 I mean,

00:34:39.740 that's possible

00:34:40.320 but but also

00:34:41.480 isn't usually

00:34:42.740 how the hoaxes

00:34:43.300 go.

00:34:43.480 I mean,

00:34:43.600 the guy

00:34:44.060 they have

00:34:44.520 them.

00:34:44.800 I mean,

00:34:45.000 he did

00:34:45.280 it on

00:34:45.520 camera

00:34:45.920 and he's

00:34:47.040 in jail

00:34:47.740 right now.

00:34:49.320 So

00:34:49.640 if it was

00:34:50.840 a hoax,

00:34:51.420 it's like

00:34:51.780 that's not

00:34:52.160 usually with

00:34:52.940 a hoax,

00:34:53.320 they would

00:34:53.540 just say

00:34:54.040 that the

00:34:54.320 thing

00:34:54.460 happened

00:34:54.740 when it

00:34:54.980 really

00:34:55.160 didn't.

00:34:56.780 But at

00:34:59.260 the same

00:34:59.580 time,

00:35:00.520 let's

00:35:01.760 think about

00:35:02.140 it.

00:35:02.240 This guy

00:35:02.700 is supposedly

00:35:03.220 a right

00:35:03.580 winger,

00:35:04.420 even though

00:35:05.620 apparently

00:35:05.980 reportedly

00:35:06.520 based on

00:35:07.020 reports on

00:35:07.420 social media,

00:35:08.020 he has

00:35:08.240 far left

00:35:08.740 kids.

00:35:09.980 That's a

00:35:10.500 report,

00:35:10.900 like non-binary 0.99

00:35:11.640 kids and

00:35:12.580 all that

00:35:12.860 kind of

00:35:13.060 thing.

00:35:14.180 I don't

00:35:14.720 know how

00:35:15.060 true that

00:35:15.340 is,

00:35:15.420 but that's

00:35:15.920 the reports

00:35:16.340 I've seen

00:35:16.580 on social

00:35:16.900 media.

00:35:20.240 But he's

00:35:21.220 a right

00:35:21.500 winger

00:35:21.720 supposedly.

00:35:23.600 He goes

00:35:24.200 to an

00:35:24.460 Ilhan

00:35:24.800 Omar

00:35:25.060 event.

00:35:26.780 He's

00:35:29.100 prepared to

00:35:30.140 go to

00:35:30.380 jail.

00:35:31.940 He's

00:35:32.540 doing this

00:35:32.860 on camera

00:35:33.640 in front

00:35:34.240 of everybody.

00:35:36.700 He's

00:35:37.300 going to

00:35:37.480 spray her 0.99

00:35:37.880 with 0.87

00:35:38.040 something

00:35:38.440 and accept

00:35:39.440 the

00:35:39.600 consequences

00:35:40.120 and he

00:35:40.480 chooses

00:35:40.880 apple

00:35:42.600 cider

00:35:43.140 vinegar.

00:35:44.800 He chooses

00:35:45.720 a substance

00:35:46.300 that is

00:35:46.860 safe,

00:35:47.660 hygienic,

00:35:48.560 and not

00:35:49.480 only that,

00:35:50.560 this is

00:35:50.920 strangest of

00:35:51.460 all,

00:35:52.260 he chooses

00:35:52.660 a substance

00:35:53.120 that is

00:35:54.020 halal.

00:35:55.140 It's

00:35:55.700 morally

00:35:56.280 permissible.

00:35:56.780 under

00:35:57.140 Islamic

00:35:57.580 law.

00:36:00.360 I mean,

00:36:00.940 what?

00:36:02.660 Again,

00:36:03.120 if you're

00:36:03.300 going to

00:36:03.420 take this

00:36:03.780 step,

00:36:04.140 if you're

00:36:04.360 going to

00:36:04.540 do something

00:36:05.080 like this,

00:36:05.780 which you

00:36:06.200 shouldn't,

00:36:07.880 you shouldn't

00:36:08.500 do this,

00:36:09.040 but if you

00:36:09.820 are,

00:36:10.200 getting into

00:36:10.740 the mindset

00:36:11.320 of a guy

00:36:11.980 who's going

00:36:12.300 to do

00:36:12.540 this,

00:36:14.800 you're

00:36:15.140 saying to

00:36:15.460 yourself,

00:36:15.600 I'm going

00:36:15.780 to go

00:36:15.940 spray a

00:36:16.740 substance.

00:36:17.520 I'm going

00:36:17.780 to go

00:36:18.040 to jail

00:36:18.520 for the

00:36:19.760 sake of

00:36:20.220 spraying a

00:36:21.180 substance

00:36:21.600 on this

00:36:22.480 liberal

00:36:23.320 Democrat

00:36:24.000 Muslim

00:36:24.940 woman.

00:36:25.300 Okay.

00:36:29.620 I mean,

00:36:30.120 it's already

00:36:30.460 a deranged

00:36:31.060 thing to

00:36:31.380 do,

00:36:31.640 so it's

00:36:31.840 hard to

00:36:32.120 get into

00:36:32.960 the mind

00:36:33.340 of somebody

00:36:33.660 like that,

00:36:34.220 but what

00:36:36.360 are the

00:36:36.560 chances you

00:36:37.040 reach for

00:36:37.440 apple cider

00:36:38.420 vinegar?

00:36:40.300 What's even

00:36:40.860 the point?

00:36:41.960 And it's a

00:36:42.620 tiny amount,

00:36:43.140 it's like a

00:36:43.420 syringe full.

00:36:44.880 So you've

00:36:45.440 chosen something

00:36:45.880 that isn't

00:36:46.380 harmful,

00:36:47.240 isn't

00:36:47.560 offensive,

00:36:48.940 in fact,

00:36:49.260 it's like

00:36:49.500 healthy,

00:36:50.880 and with

00:36:51.900 that amount,

00:36:52.280 I want to

00:36:52.440 even stain

00:36:53.000 her clothing.

00:36:53.440 you're

00:36:55.900 not even

00:36:56.140 causing

00:36:56.480 any kind

00:36:57.240 of minor

00:36:57.600 inconvenience

00:36:58.340 here,

00:36:58.640 so she

00:37:01.040 won't even

00:37:01.280 have to go

00:37:01.500 to the

00:37:01.680 dry cleaners

00:37:02.260 after this,

00:37:02.820 let alone

00:37:03.200 the doctor,

00:37:04.240 which is

00:37:04.880 good.

00:37:06.300 I don't

00:37:06.900 want anyone

00:37:07.640 to do

00:37:07.900 anything

00:37:08.100 harmful

00:37:08.440 to Ilhan.

00:37:10.060 I mean,

00:37:10.500 she is a 1.00

00:37:10.900 total scumbag 1.00

00:37:11.600 and absolutely 1.00

00:37:13.640 corrupt,

00:37:15.120 but this

00:37:17.020 is not the

00:37:17.740 way to

00:37:17.960 handle it.

00:37:18.460 my point

00:37:21.500 is that

00:37:21.800 the motive

00:37:22.320 just doesn't

00:37:22.800 make any

00:37:23.160 sense.

00:37:23.860 It doesn't

00:37:24.160 add up.

00:37:27.240 You know,

00:37:28.280 now granted,

00:37:29.140 when you're

00:37:29.340 trying to

00:37:29.680 explain why

00:37:30.460 someone did

00:37:31.100 something,

00:37:31.800 to quote

00:37:32.140 Ilhan Omar

00:37:32.660 about 9-11,

00:37:33.880 some people

00:37:34.460 did something.

00:37:37.900 That's another

00:37:38.460 reason,

00:37:38.660 like Ilhan Omar

00:37:39.260 wants us to

00:37:39.800 treat this like

00:37:40.200 a great tragedy.

00:37:41.260 You don't even

00:37:41.660 think 9-11

00:37:42.180 was a tragedy.

00:37:45.140 Okay?

00:37:45.540 She doesn't

00:37:47.460 even think

00:37:47.760 9-11 was a

00:37:48.400 big deal.

00:37:50.240 9-11 was,

00:37:51.260 yeah,

00:37:51.500 some people

00:37:51.840 did something.

00:37:52.620 Some people

00:37:52.960 did something.

00:37:53.560 3,000 people

00:37:54.220 died.

00:37:55.220 And she gets

00:37:55.880 some vinegar

00:37:56.260 on her shirt

00:37:56.760 and she wants 0.90

00:37:57.180 us to,

00:37:57.500 oh my gosh,

00:37:58.720 what is the

00:37:59.560 world coming

00:38:00.140 to?

00:38:01.200 Please.

00:38:02.420 Sorry,

00:38:02.960 no.

00:38:07.240 But if you're

00:38:07.820 trying to

00:38:08.040 explain something

00:38:08.600 like this,

00:38:09.300 sometimes the

00:38:09.880 explanation is

00:38:10.520 just,

00:38:10.840 well, 0.99

00:38:11.000 they're crazy. 0.98

00:38:13.060 You know? 0.99

00:38:14.100 This is where

00:38:14.840 conspiracy theory

00:38:15.520 is like

00:38:16.100 illegitimate

00:38:18.440 unreasonable

00:38:20.200 conspiracy theories

00:38:21.040 come out of

00:38:22.280 this many

00:38:23.200 times.

00:38:23.440 Like,

00:38:24.640 where sometimes

00:38:25.500 like a crazy

00:38:26.420 person just did

00:38:26.960 something crazy.

00:38:28.960 You know,

00:38:29.540 that's sometimes

00:38:30.000 the explanation.

00:38:31.680 And that

00:38:33.320 could be the

00:38:33.660 case here.

00:38:34.440 But it's the

00:38:35.280 specificity of

00:38:36.260 it.

00:38:36.940 Apple cider

00:38:37.780 vinegar.

00:38:39.100 I mean,

00:38:39.720 it's almost like

00:38:40.400 if I went to

00:38:40.940 chat GPT

00:38:41.740 and I said,

00:38:42.800 give me a

00:38:44.680 somewhat pungent

00:38:45.560 substance that

00:38:46.440 I can spray 1.00

00:38:47.000 on a Muslim 1.00

00:38:47.580 woman that 0.97

00:38:48.240 won't be

00:38:48.680 harmful to

00:38:49.240 her in

00:38:49.580 any way or

00:38:50.340 unsafe or

00:38:51.000 unhygienic and

00:38:52.500 isn't offensive to

00:38:53.420 her religious

00:38:53.840 beliefs.

00:38:54.560 If you type

00:38:55.360 that into a

00:38:55.840 prompt,

00:38:56.540 it's like the

00:38:57.480 first thing you

00:38:58.060 would get is,

00:38:58.760 well,

00:38:59.280 apple cider

00:38:59.660 vinegar.

00:39:01.360 I mean,

00:39:01.900 actually,

00:39:02.180 I assume if you

00:39:03.220 type that into

00:39:04.080 chat GPT,

00:39:04.940 what you would

00:39:05.660 get is a

00:39:06.000 lecture about

00:39:06.520 why you

00:39:06.880 shouldn't do

00:39:07.760 that.

00:39:08.640 But the

00:39:10.280 point is that

00:39:10.900 the apple cider

00:39:11.680 vinegar,

00:39:12.300 it so perfectly

00:39:13.260 walks that

00:39:14.160 line.

00:39:16.940 And that's

00:39:18.000 strange.

00:39:18.680 Because you

00:39:19.160 would think if

00:39:19.500 you were a

00:39:19.840 right-wing

00:39:20.440 attacker,

00:39:21.880 that's not a

00:39:23.420 line you'd be

00:39:24.920 trying to walk.

00:39:25.600 The whole point

00:39:25.980 of doing it is

00:39:26.480 you're crossing

00:39:26.980 the line.

00:39:29.220 So,

00:39:29.720 I don't know.

00:39:31.300 Who knows?

00:39:31.900 The other

00:39:32.340 possibility,

00:39:33.020 I mean,

00:39:33.220 there's a few

00:39:33.500 possibilities.

00:39:33.980 One is that

00:39:34.400 this was a

00:39:34.840 genuine attack

00:39:36.600 by some 0.99

00:39:37.520 nutcase who 0.95

00:39:39.880 just decided

00:39:42.160 to send

00:39:42.520 himself to

00:39:42.940 prison for

00:39:43.860 no reason.

00:39:47.120 It's possible

00:39:47.820 that.

00:39:48.860 There's the

00:39:49.240 other possibility

00:39:49.820 that plenty of

00:39:50.640 conservatives

00:39:51.000 have speculated

00:39:51.480 about that

00:39:51.820 this was like

00:39:52.360 a planned

00:39:53.620 stunt by

00:39:54.640 Ilhan Omar

00:39:55.280 herself or

00:39:56.120 her people.

00:39:58.780 I think

00:39:59.760 that's possible.

00:40:01.640 But then

00:40:02.280 the third

00:40:02.540 possibility is

00:40:03.220 that this

00:40:03.540 was a

00:40:03.960 leftist

00:40:04.620 acting on

00:40:05.800 his own

00:40:06.380 to do

00:40:06.900 a kind

00:40:07.360 of

00:40:07.460 false

00:40:07.720 flag

00:40:08.120 thing

00:40:08.580 meant

00:40:08.900 to

00:40:09.080 elevate

00:40:09.540 Ilhan Omar

00:40:10.300 and frame

00:40:10.940 right-wingers

00:40:11.480 sort of

00:40:11.720 sacrificing

00:40:12.260 himself

00:40:12.800 in the

00:40:15.300 cause.

00:40:16.640 These are

00:40:17.480 all

00:40:17.640 possibilities.

00:40:19.820 These are

00:40:20.080 all

00:40:20.240 possibilities.

00:40:23.220 And it

00:40:23.600 always comes

00:40:23.980 to,

00:40:24.220 even aside

00:40:25.060 from how

00:40:25.540 bizarre the

00:40:26.080 whole thing

00:40:26.400 is,

00:40:27.560 well,

00:40:27.820 leftists

00:40:28.220 lie about

00:40:28.780 everything

00:40:29.080 all the

00:40:29.340 time.

00:40:29.820 They

00:40:30.020 constantly

00:40:30.500 do

00:40:30.740 hoaxes

00:40:31.200 and

00:40:32.340 they're

00:40:33.360 just

00:40:33.540 extremely

00:40:33.980 dishonest.

00:40:34.660 They have 0.92

00:40:34.900 no moral

00:40:35.660 qualms

00:40:37.060 about

00:40:37.380 lying.

00:40:38.040 Ends

00:40:38.380 justify

00:40:38.740 the

00:40:38.960 means.

00:40:40.980 And so

00:40:41.200 for that

00:40:41.480 reason,

00:40:41.800 you can't

00:40:42.900 trust

00:40:43.100 anything,

00:40:43.460 they say.

00:40:44.520 As a

00:40:45.000 happily

00:40:45.220 married

00:40:45.500 man,

00:40:45.740 I have

00:40:45.900 some

00:40:46.120 dating

00:40:46.440 advice.

00:40:46.940 As you're

00:40:47.140 trying to

00:40:47.480 find the

00:40:47.820 right

00:40:48.040 person,

00:40:48.520 you should

00:40:48.740 probably

00:40:49.000 ask them

00:40:49.560 the

00:40:50.200 important

00:40:50.480 questions

00:40:50.960 first,

00:40:51.420 like,

00:40:51.720 are you

00:40:52.000 vegan?

00:40:52.520 Or do

00:40:52.780 you return

00:40:53.200 your

00:40:53.380 shopping

00:40:53.680 cart when

00:40:54.280 done

00:40:54.480 with

00:40:54.640 it?

00:40:54.780 So you

00:40:54.980 can

00:40:55.080 get a

00:40:55.280 better

00:40:55.420 idea

00:40:55.840 of

00:40:56.440 whether

00:40:56.560 or

00:40:56.720 not

00:40:56.980 they

00:40:57.320 are

00:40:57.540 sane

00:40:57.920 people. 0.54

00:42:29.020 Okay,

00:42:29.740 Darren Aronofsky

00:42:30.480 is apparently

00:42:31.000 an AI

00:42:32.160 series coming

00:42:33.180 out.

00:42:34.320 It's called

00:42:35.340 On This

00:42:36.340 Day 1776,

00:42:37.940 and it's about

00:42:38.320 the Revolutionary

00:42:39.120 War.

00:42:39.420 It's an AI

00:42:40.160 series.

00:42:42.240 All of the

00:42:43.160 images are AI

00:42:44.240 generated,

00:42:45.100 and then

00:42:45.480 apparently he

00:42:46.080 added voiceover,

00:42:47.300 so the humans

00:42:48.380 did the voiceover,

00:42:49.780 but the rest of it

00:42:51.400 is AI.

00:42:53.580 And, well,

00:42:54.900 here's the

00:42:55.300 trailer watch.

00:42:57.460 The rebellious

00:42:58.880 war has become

00:43:00.360 more general.

00:43:01.880 Too many still

00:43:02.880 unsure of why

00:43:04.020 we fight.

00:43:05.260 We have it in

00:43:06.260 our power to

00:43:07.260 begin the world

00:43:08.260 over again.

00:43:09.660 There is no way

00:43:10.740 but forward.

00:43:11.600 We are now

00:43:14.040 the troops

00:43:14.760 of the

00:43:15.320 United Colonies

00:43:16.760 of North

00:43:17.520 America

00:43:18.260 for the purpose

00:43:19.760 of establishing

00:43:20.880 an independent

00:43:22.240 empire.

00:43:24.820 Who are you?

00:43:25.920 Massachusetts!

00:43:26.920 That's not

00:43:30.300 surrender.

00:43:30.940 Weird,

00:43:46.000 lifeless,

00:43:46.800 boring.

00:43:48.340 Do you realize

00:43:49.340 what an

00:43:50.840 absolute

00:43:51.280 failure

00:43:52.000 something has

00:43:53.120 to be

00:43:53.540 to be both

00:43:55.660 weird and

00:43:56.200 boring,

00:43:56.560 which is what

00:43:56.880 that was?

00:43:58.520 Okay,

00:43:58.840 that was

00:43:59.660 just a huge

00:44:01.280 steaming

00:44:02.360 chunk of 0.97

00:44:03.140 what you

00:44:04.440 just saw

00:44:04.900 there.

00:44:05.300 And if you

00:44:05.560 didn't watch

00:44:05.860 it because

00:44:06.060 you're listening

00:44:07.020 to the audio

00:44:07.520 podcast,

00:44:08.740 take my word

00:44:09.820 for it.

00:44:10.920 Huge steaming

00:44:11.760 chunk of 0.97

00:44:12.160 was that

00:44:13.500 AI,

00:44:14.360 this AI

00:44:16.520 series.

00:44:17.500 Awful in

00:44:18.000 every way.

00:44:19.120 I hate

00:44:19.320 everything about

00:44:19.840 it.

00:44:20.540 The worst

00:44:21.300 movie ever

00:44:21.940 made is

00:44:22.540 infinitely better

00:44:23.280 than that.

00:44:24.780 Okay,

00:44:25.240 that John

00:44:25.720 Travolta

00:44:26.280 Scientology movie,

00:44:27.520 what was it?

00:44:27.780 Battlestar

00:44:28.380 Galactica.

00:44:31.740 What is it?

00:44:33.520 Battlefield

00:44:34.080 Earth,

00:44:34.640 right?

00:44:34.860 Another one?

00:44:35.700 Anyway,

00:44:38.320 whatever that

00:44:39.780 was,

00:44:40.160 that's

00:44:40.420 Michelangelo

00:44:41.300 compared to

00:44:42.620 this in

00:44:43.160 terms of

00:44:43.460 artistic

00:44:43.780 quality.

00:44:44.600 The worst

00:44:45.540 Marvel movie

00:44:46.320 is the

00:44:47.300 Sistine

00:44:47.740 Chapel

00:44:48.200 compared to

00:44:49.220 that.

00:44:51.760 Transformers

00:44:52.400 with Megan

00:44:53.160 Fox is an

00:44:54.180 artistic,

00:44:54.940 it is a

00:44:55.820 Beethoven

00:44:56.360 symphony

00:44:57.060 compared to

00:44:57.960 what you

00:44:58.200 just saw

00:44:58.580 there.

00:44:59.600 And like

00:45:00.420 I said,

00:45:00.820 what comes

00:45:01.420 to mind,

00:45:01.740 it looks

00:45:02.140 weird,

00:45:02.620 it's lifeless,

00:45:03.120 and it's

00:45:03.360 boring,

00:45:03.920 which is the

00:45:04.980 worst of

00:45:05.280 all worlds.

00:45:06.120 I mean,

00:45:06.260 if you're

00:45:06.440 going to do

00:45:06.680 something weird,

00:45:07.440 it should at

00:45:07.900 least be

00:45:08.760 attention

00:45:09.180 grabbing.

00:45:11.320 Like weird

00:45:12.100 should at

00:45:12.520 least be on

00:45:13.220 the level of

00:45:13.820 a Barnum

00:45:14.420 and Bailey

00:45:14.840 freak show

00:45:15.500 where you,

00:45:16.360 it's weird,

00:45:17.340 but you got to

00:45:17.920 look at it

00:45:18.360 because you

00:45:19.180 gawk at it,

00:45:20.460 dumbfounded,

00:45:21.420 disturbed. 0.79

00:45:21.940 But instead

00:45:24.640 it's weird

00:45:25.220 and it

00:45:25.980 puts me

00:45:26.240 to sleep.

00:45:27.780 Weird

00:45:28.180 and dull.

00:45:30.300 Worst

00:45:30.740 possible

00:45:31.120 thing it

00:45:31.440 could be.

00:45:32.800 Now,

00:45:33.280 here's what

00:45:33.760 I want to

00:45:33.980 say about

00:45:34.280 this.

00:45:35.540 Everybody

00:45:35.840 knows my

00:45:36.280 take on

00:45:36.680 AI art,

00:45:37.560 which is

00:45:37.820 that it

00:45:38.240 isn't art

00:45:38.740 by definition.

00:45:41.480 But I

00:45:41.980 really want to

00:45:42.600 make this

00:45:42.980 point,

00:45:43.980 and I need

00:45:44.740 people to

00:45:45.060 understand

00:45:45.400 this.

00:45:47.500 Because what

00:45:48.080 I hear from

00:45:48.920 the AI

00:45:49.940 apologists,

00:45:50.700 the normal

00:45:51.700 people who

00:45:52.360 think that

00:45:52.900 this is a

00:45:53.740 good thing,

00:45:55.080 that AI

00:45:55.520 is taking

00:45:56.000 over,

00:45:56.340 in particular

00:45:56.840 using AI

00:45:58.720 in art,

00:45:59.540 using AI

00:46:00.180 creatively,

00:46:01.500 the people

00:46:01.840 who think

00:46:02.100 that that's

00:46:02.440 good.

00:46:04.820 Well,

00:46:05.500 I want you

00:46:06.680 to notice

00:46:07.060 something.

00:46:08.780 Who made

00:46:09.660 that series

00:46:10.740 that we

00:46:11.960 just saw,

00:46:12.320 the trailer

00:46:12.780 we just

00:46:13.140 saw?

00:46:13.340 Who made

00:46:13.640 it?

00:46:14.060 Well,

00:46:14.200 the answer

00:46:14.440 is actually

00:46:14.960 no one

00:46:15.780 made it

00:46:16.140 because it

00:46:16.580 was generated

00:46:17.160 by an

00:46:17.480 algorithm.

00:46:18.000 But Darren

00:46:19.060 Aronofsky,

00:46:19.780 is the

00:46:21.160 guy behind

00:46:21.720 it.

00:46:23.160 Hollywood

00:46:23.640 director,

00:46:25.140 award-winning,

00:46:26.600 very prominent,

00:46:27.640 very wealthy

00:46:28.260 Hollywood film

00:46:29.620 director.

00:46:30.560 So for all

00:46:31.420 the people,

00:46:31.920 because this

00:46:32.260 is the

00:46:32.540 argument for

00:46:33.400 AI in

00:46:34.120 particular,

00:46:34.860 the people

00:46:35.260 that think

00:46:35.600 that AI

00:46:36.040 in art

00:46:36.840 is a

00:46:37.180 good thing,

00:46:37.860 the argument

00:46:38.340 is that

00:46:40.220 it's going

00:46:40.480 to,

00:46:40.600 I've heard

00:46:40.700 this a

00:46:40.940 million times

00:46:41.400 now,

00:46:41.820 it's going

00:46:42.340 to take

00:46:42.660 down

00:46:42.920 Hollywood

00:46:43.260 and it's

00:46:43.980 going to

00:46:44.220 democratize

00:46:45.200 art.

00:46:46.380 Now,

00:46:46.940 everybody

00:46:47.300 can get

00:46:47.760 involved,

00:46:48.240 anyone can

00:46:48.780 make art,

00:46:49.260 and so

00:46:49.540 this is

00:46:49.800 a

00:46:49.960 great

00:46:50.200 thing.

00:46:52.100 Well,

00:46:52.500 that's not

00:46:52.760 going to

00:46:52.940 happen.

00:46:54.620 Okay,

00:46:54.840 you're

00:46:55.040 delusional. 0.97

00:46:56.400 You are 1.00

00:46:57.020 foolish. 1.00

00:46:58.720 You're 1.00

00:46:59.160 being stupid. 1.00

00:47:01.620 Like, 1.00

00:47:02.060 get your

00:47:02.280 head out

00:47:02.560 of the

00:47:02.740 sand.

00:47:03.700 That is

00:47:04.320 not how

00:47:04.960 this is

00:47:05.420 going to

00:47:05.820 work.

00:47:06.000 First of

00:47:06.300 all,

00:47:06.800 democratizing

00:47:07.680 art isn't

00:47:08.380 really a

00:47:08.780 goal that

00:47:09.180 we should

00:47:09.500 have.

00:47:10.400 Art is

00:47:10.740 not a

00:47:11.040 democracy

00:47:11.520 and

00:47:11.880 shouldn't

00:47:12.200 be.

00:47:12.480 Art

00:47:12.640 should

00:47:12.800 be about

00:47:13.140 excellence

00:47:13.640 and

00:47:14.080 beauty.

00:47:16.280 Democratizing

00:47:16.720 art is

00:47:17.260 leftist

00:47:17.800 jargon.

00:47:18.220 I hear

00:47:18.480 this from

00:47:18.780 conservatives

00:47:19.260 now.

00:47:19.760 It'll

00:47:19.960 democratize

00:47:20.900 art.

00:47:21.400 Do you

00:47:22.720 realize that's

00:47:23.180 exactly the

00:47:23.860 reason they

00:47:24.660 give for

00:47:25.340 jamming every

00:47:26.120 race and 0.82

00:47:26.560 ethnicity into

00:47:27.280 every movie and

00:47:28.100 show and

00:47:28.660 commercial now?

00:47:29.700 Because they

00:47:30.220 say,

00:47:30.420 well,

00:47:30.480 everyone has

00:47:31.000 to be

00:47:31.240 represented

00:47:31.700 like art is

00:47:32.600 a representative

00:47:33.160 democracy or

00:47:33.900 something when it

00:47:34.460 isn't.

00:47:34.720 But anyway,

00:47:36.220 it won't do

00:47:37.740 that.

00:47:38.460 Okay?

00:47:39.020 It's not going to

00:47:39.800 democratize anything.

00:47:40.900 It will not

00:47:41.400 bring down

00:47:42.020 Hollywood.

00:47:42.380 I got news

00:47:43.060 for you.

00:47:44.240 Because all of

00:47:45.360 the Hollywood

00:47:45.840 studios and

00:47:46.960 Hollywood

00:47:47.360 filmmakers,

00:47:48.440 they have

00:47:49.400 AI too.

00:47:51.260 And not only

00:47:51.880 that, but they

00:47:52.340 have better

00:47:53.040 AI.

00:47:53.740 They have

00:47:54.180 more advanced

00:47:54.980 AI and they

00:47:55.860 always will.

00:47:58.300 However advanced

00:47:59.360 the AI is that

00:48:00.340 you have access

00:48:01.020 to as a normal

00:48:01.980 person, they

00:48:03.040 have AI that

00:48:03.940 is a thousand

00:48:04.620 times more

00:48:05.320 advanced than

00:48:05.900 that.

00:48:06.380 So they can

00:48:08.180 churn out.

00:48:08.700 And even if

00:48:09.080 they don't,

00:48:09.860 put that aside,

00:48:10.680 maybe we all have

00:48:11.520 the same AI

00:48:12.120 tools.

00:48:12.480 Let's just

00:48:12.720 imagine that

00:48:13.220 that's the

00:48:13.600 scenario.

00:48:16.360 Doesn't matter.

00:48:17.800 They can churn

00:48:18.700 out more

00:48:19.340 stuff.

00:48:20.160 They can do

00:48:20.520 it faster.

00:48:21.260 And most

00:48:21.680 importantly,

00:48:22.600 they have

00:48:23.400 distribution.

00:48:24.660 They own all

00:48:25.960 the distribution

00:48:26.640 channels.

00:48:27.240 Let's say you

00:48:27.700 generate an AI

00:48:28.840 film on your

00:48:29.920 laptop.

00:48:31.140 Well, great.

00:48:32.000 Good for you.

00:48:33.020 I mean, it's

00:48:33.460 worthless, right?

00:48:34.600 Like, why should

00:48:35.320 anyone care to 0.76

00:48:36.080 see some nonsense

00:48:37.260 that an algorithm

00:48:38.340 made for you?

00:48:39.660 Like, if you

00:48:40.000 come to me and

00:48:40.480 say, well, you

00:48:40.960 want to see

00:48:41.340 this AI

00:48:42.060 film I

00:48:42.580 made?

00:48:42.820 No, I

00:48:42.980 don't want

00:48:43.120 to see it.

00:48:44.660 You didn't

00:48:45.120 make it.

00:48:45.760 An algorithm

00:48:46.200 made it.

00:48:46.800 And by the

00:48:47.060 way, in

00:48:47.380 this fantasy,

00:48:48.080 in this

00:48:48.300 scenario, which

00:48:48.980 maybe is not

00:48:49.460 a fantasy, I'm

00:48:50.120 sure eventually

00:48:50.560 we'll be in a

00:48:51.080 scenario where

00:48:51.380 you can just

00:48:51.580 generate a

00:48:51.980 whole movie.

00:48:52.420 But in that

00:48:52.760 scenario, I

00:48:53.260 can generate

00:48:53.640 my own

00:48:53.960 movie.

00:48:55.180 So there's

00:48:55.780 no reason to

00:48:56.340 watch yours.

00:48:58.320 But regardless,

00:48:59.520 how is anyone

00:49:00.300 going to see

00:49:00.940 it?

00:49:03.380 You're not

00:49:03.860 getting it into

00:49:04.360 theaters.

00:49:06.920 Okay, your AI

00:49:08.340 laptop film, you

00:49:10.000 think it's

00:49:10.240 going to be in

00:49:10.600 a theatrical

00:49:11.620 release?

00:49:13.060 You're going to

00:49:13.240 go to AMC

00:49:13.860 theaters and

00:49:14.420 say, hey, guys,

00:49:15.300 look at this

00:49:15.740 thing that my

00:49:16.320 algorithm made on

00:49:17.120 my laptop.

00:49:17.860 You want to put

00:49:18.340 it in the

00:49:18.700 theaters?

00:49:20.340 No.

00:49:22.460 Only Hollywood

00:49:23.140 films get there,

00:49:24.060 with rare

00:49:24.540 exceptions.

00:49:25.100 If you want to

00:49:25.420 get a wide

00:49:25.880 distribution in

00:49:26.620 theaters, I

00:49:27.040 mean, we got

00:49:27.400 one with

00:49:27.760 MI Races, very 0.99

00:49:29.080 difficult to

00:49:29.700 do.

00:49:30.400 And we had to

00:49:31.000 prove ourselves

00:49:31.620 every step of

00:49:32.200 the way with

00:49:32.640 pre-sales on

00:49:33.880 tickets.

00:49:34.180 It's the only

00:49:34.440 way we got a

00:49:35.280 wide distribution.

00:49:36.060 And even our

00:49:36.980 wide distribution

00:49:37.680 with the

00:49:38.080 1,300, 1,400

00:49:38.760 theaters, nothing

00:49:39.880 compared to the

00:49:40.700 2,000, 3,000

00:49:41.860 theaters that the

00:49:42.940 big blockbusters

00:49:43.640 get.

00:49:44.080 But we got it

00:49:44.620 through pre-sales

00:49:45.420 on tickets.

00:49:45.920 Well, are you

00:49:46.120 going to sell

00:49:46.480 pre-sales on

00:49:47.320 your AI film that

00:49:48.260 you made?

00:49:49.340 Are you going to

00:49:49.960 get thousands of

00:49:51.000 people to buy

00:49:51.960 tickets ahead of

00:49:52.840 time because they're

00:49:53.240 so excited to see

00:49:54.340 this thing your

00:49:55.220 algorithm made?

00:49:56.940 No.

00:49:58.340 And maybe you

00:49:58.780 say, well, it's

00:49:59.180 the 21st century.

00:50:00.060 Who cares about

00:50:00.580 that?

00:50:00.840 We don't need

00:50:01.280 theaters.

00:50:02.000 Okay, fine.

00:50:02.740 Well, what are you

00:50:03.080 going to put it?

00:50:03.400 You going to put it on

00:50:03.780 a streaming

00:50:04.360 platform, your

00:50:05.040 AI film?

00:50:05.820 No.

00:50:07.460 The Hollywood

00:50:08.100 studios, they all

00:50:08.980 have deals with

00:50:11.400 the streaming

00:50:12.060 platforms.

00:50:13.460 You don't.

00:50:16.260 And even if you

00:50:17.800 do get it on a

00:50:18.540 platform, which you

00:50:19.580 won't, it's not

00:50:21.300 going to be featured

00:50:21.920 by the algorithm.

00:50:23.160 It's not going to

00:50:23.780 make it onto the

00:50:24.360 home screen like

00:50:26.660 all the studio AI

00:50:27.980 slop will.

00:50:31.000 So how does

00:50:31.600 anyone know that

00:50:32.120 it's there?

00:50:34.500 This great thing

00:50:35.420 of democratized

00:50:36.360 art, it made it

00:50:37.100 so I could press

00:50:37.660 a button and

00:50:38.140 generate a movie.

00:50:38.980 Great.

00:50:39.920 No one's going

00:50:40.660 to see it.

00:50:44.320 How are you

00:50:44.780 going to market

00:50:45.360 it?

00:50:47.800 How can you

00:50:48.500 market your

00:50:48.940 AI slot movie?

00:50:49.740 A lot of people

00:50:50.060 know it exists.

00:50:51.880 Guess what?

00:50:52.180 The movie studios,

00:50:53.000 they already have

00:50:53.980 hundreds of

00:50:54.420 millions of

00:50:54.740 dollars to spend

00:50:55.440 on marketing

00:50:56.040 their films.

00:50:57.240 Very difficult

00:50:57.980 to compete with.

00:50:59.120 Believe me,

00:50:59.540 again, I know

00:51:00.260 from experience.

00:51:01.000 Well, guess

00:51:03.720 what?

00:51:04.120 Once AI cuts

00:51:05.200 their production

00:51:05.820 costs into a

00:51:06.900 fraction, now

00:51:08.480 they'll have

00:51:09.000 billions of

00:51:10.880 dollars to spend

00:51:11.680 on marketing.

00:51:14.060 Now you

00:51:14.680 stand no

00:51:15.140 chance.

00:51:17.420 So maybe

00:51:19.080 you see the

00:51:19.460 point here.

00:51:19.780 This is how it

00:51:20.300 works.

00:51:21.160 Like I'm telling

00:51:22.060 you, this is how

00:51:22.700 it works.

00:51:24.420 AI will not

00:51:25.520 democratize art.

00:51:26.340 it will not

00:51:27.420 mean that more

00:51:28.580 people get to

00:51:29.420 make art.

00:51:30.580 More people get

00:51:31.380 to participate

00:51:32.040 in creating

00:51:33.580 movies and

00:51:35.140 shows and all

00:51:35.580 the rest of it.

00:51:36.880 What it will

00:51:37.260 mean, well,

00:51:38.500 actually it means

00:51:38.860 that nobody

00:51:39.280 will be making

00:51:39.780 art anymore

00:51:40.340 because AI

00:51:41.480 is generating

00:51:42.200 it, which means

00:51:42.760 that there's no

00:51:43.220 human actually

00:51:43.780 doing it.

00:51:44.140 But putting

00:51:44.440 that aside,

00:51:45.520 what this means

00:51:46.040 is that fewer

00:51:46.840 people will be

00:51:48.140 making it.

00:51:49.440 And if you

00:51:49.840 can't see that,

00:51:50.620 then I don't

00:51:50.920 know what to

00:51:51.320 tell you.

00:51:51.520 If you can't

00:51:52.080 see that what

00:51:52.680 this means is

00:51:54.180 that many fewer

00:51:55.440 people will be

00:51:56.800 involved in

00:51:57.400 making art than

00:51:58.040 ever were before,

00:51:58.880 I don't know.

00:52:00.200 Like, I don't

00:52:00.540 know how else

00:52:01.460 to explain it

00:52:02.720 to you.

00:52:04.740 AI means all

00:52:06.720 the animators

00:52:07.460 are gone.

00:52:08.800 It means the

00:52:09.880 production crew

00:52:10.620 is gone.

00:52:11.840 Camera operators,

00:52:12.980 sound guys,

00:52:13.740 techs, everybody,

00:52:15.140 all gone.

00:52:17.260 Actors gone.

00:52:18.400 Extras gone.

00:52:19.420 Everyone gone.

00:52:21.760 It will be

00:52:22.600 studio executives,

00:52:23.720 executives,

00:52:25.440 who will go

00:52:26.400 from being

00:52:27.240 very wealthy

00:52:27.920 before AI

00:52:28.980 to being

00:52:29.580 very,

00:52:29.960 very,

00:52:30.240 very,

00:52:30.520 very extremely

00:52:31.160 wealthy.

00:52:33.040 Maybe a few

00:52:33.800 big-name directors

00:52:34.700 churning out

00:52:36.040 this slop

00:52:36.580 and churning

00:52:38.080 it out faster

00:52:38.720 than you can

00:52:39.340 and getting

00:52:40.120 it in front

00:52:40.400 of more

00:52:40.700 eyeballs than

00:52:41.360 you ever

00:52:41.740 can.

00:52:42.600 And it will

00:52:43.180 be just them

00:52:43.740 and nobody

00:52:44.020 else.

00:52:46.720 That's what

00:52:47.260 it's going

00:52:47.480 to be.

00:52:49.460 Okay?

00:52:50.020 It just

00:52:50.500 means that

00:52:51.460 98%

00:52:54.120 of the

00:52:54.720 real human

00:52:55.280 beings

00:52:55.680 who are

00:52:55.980 right now

00:52:56.620 involved

00:52:57.220 in making

00:52:57.860 art,

00:52:58.580 making cinema,

00:52:59.800 making films,

00:53:01.740 98%

00:53:03.020 of them

00:53:03.360 will be

00:53:03.860 gone.

00:53:06.020 And if

00:53:06.720 you can

00:53:06.980 look at

00:53:07.260 that and

00:53:07.560 say,

00:53:07.780 we're

00:53:07.940 democratizing

00:53:09.000 art,

00:53:09.380 then I

00:53:09.660 don't know

00:53:09.940 what the 0.99

00:53:10.480 hell you're 0.98

00:53:11.460 talking about.

00:53:12.760 I don't

00:53:13.360 know what

00:53:13.600 you think

00:53:13.940 democratizing

00:53:14.840 even means.

00:53:15.540 it's going

00:53:19.200 to take

00:53:19.540 down

00:53:19.840 Hollywood.

00:53:22.820 You hear

00:53:23.480 yourself?

00:53:25.940 You think

00:53:27.020 that the

00:53:27.480 Hollywood

00:53:29.940 executives are

00:53:30.740 shaking in

00:53:31.200 their boots

00:53:31.500 about AI?

00:53:32.120 No,

00:53:32.260 they're racing

00:53:33.520 to adopt

00:53:34.060 this stuff.

00:53:37.820 Like I've

00:53:38.420 said a

00:53:38.860 million times,

00:53:39.480 AI means

00:53:40.300 that we're

00:53:41.500 going to

00:53:41.700 have,

00:53:44.200 you know,

00:53:44.520 it's going

00:53:45.040 to make

00:53:45.300 some

00:53:45.520 people

00:53:45.800 into

00:53:46.040 billionaires

00:53:46.620 and trillionaires

00:53:47.300 and it's

00:53:48.320 going to

00:53:48.800 absolutely 0.87

00:53:49.400 screw

00:53:50.040 almost 0.97

00:53:50.800 everybody

00:53:51.400 else.

00:53:52.700 So,

00:53:53.180 and to

00:53:56.180 me,

00:53:56.360 it's like

00:53:56.760 so clear

00:53:57.300 that that's

00:53:57.660 the case.

00:53:58.060 I don't

00:53:58.180 know what

00:53:58.380 else to

00:53:58.660 say.

00:54:01.820 Well,

00:54:02.300 you know,

00:54:02.480 I've been

00:54:02.680 a big

00:54:03.040 NFL

00:54:03.740 apologist,

00:54:05.380 sort of,

00:54:06.500 you know,

00:54:06.680 I'm not a

00:54:06.960 fan of the

00:54:07.320 corporate NFL,

00:54:08.100 the business,

00:54:08.680 but I'm a

00:54:09.040 fan of the

00:54:09.520 product on

00:54:09.980 the field,

00:54:10.460 the sport

00:54:10.760 itself.

00:54:12.720 But corporate

00:54:13.400 NFL,

00:54:13.840 they really

00:54:14.100 make it

00:54:14.400 difficult

00:54:14.680 sometimes.

00:54:15.360 They really

00:54:15.680 do.

00:54:16.160 And now we

00:54:16.600 have the

00:54:16.840 Super Bowl

00:54:17.180 coming up

00:54:17.760 next week.

00:54:19.700 We already

00:54:20.020 know that

00:54:20.400 they're going

00:54:20.620 to have

00:54:20.920 what's,

00:54:21.240 you know,

00:54:21.460 Bugs Bunny

00:54:21.920 or whatever

00:54:22.180 his name

00:54:22.460 is.

00:54:24.080 Bad,

00:54:24.520 what is it,

00:54:24.880 Bad Bunny

00:54:25.360 performing the

00:54:27.320 halftime show

00:54:28.000 in Spanish.

00:54:28.980 I've seen

00:54:29.220 reports that he

00:54:29.740 plans to wear

00:54:30.280 a dress in

00:54:30.960 the performance.

00:54:31.580 I don't know

00:54:31.760 if that's true

00:54:32.140 or not.

00:54:33.120 Shaving up to

00:54:33.600 be a grotesque

00:54:34.380 display and

00:54:35.960 certainly a very

00:54:36.480 woke display

00:54:37.240 because woke

00:54:37.980 is not dead.

00:54:39.440 Contrary to

00:54:39.960 reports,

00:54:40.520 it's not dead,

00:54:41.240 I'm afraid to

00:54:41.640 say.

00:54:42.580 And now this

00:54:43.080 from the

00:54:43.340 Hollywood

00:54:43.600 Reporter,

00:54:44.000 here's the

00:54:44.240 headline.

00:54:45.760 Dar Mann

00:54:46.460 named NFL's

00:54:47.900 chief kindness

00:54:48.960 officer as

00:54:50.700 league kicks

00:54:51.260 off Super

00:54:52.040 Bowl creator

00:54:52.800 blitz.

00:54:54.960 Chief

00:54:55.480 kindness

00:54:55.940 officer.

00:54:58.340 CKO.

00:54:59.300 Not exactly

00:55:00.080 a standard

00:55:00.520 corporate position

00:55:01.200 as far as I

00:55:01.760 know.

00:55:02.940 If it is,

00:55:03.700 I'm surprised

00:55:04.060 that no one's

00:55:04.480 offered me that

00:55:05.020 position in any

00:55:05.760 organization.

00:55:07.200 I should be

00:55:07.940 the chief

00:55:08.240 kindness

00:55:08.560 officer.

00:55:09.040 If I'm

00:55:09.720 known for

00:55:10.120 anything,

00:55:10.740 it's being

00:55:12.160 kind.

00:55:12.620 If I'm

00:55:13.280 known for

00:55:13.580 anything,

00:55:13.820 it's my

00:55:14.100 warmth and

00:55:14.740 kindness.

00:55:15.260 I think I'm

00:55:16.060 really much

00:55:16.720 more qualified

00:55:18.000 for that

00:55:18.400 position.

00:55:19.040 But,

00:55:19.160 you know,

00:55:20.800 Dar Mann

00:55:21.360 got the

00:55:23.180 position.

00:55:24.020 I don't have

00:55:26.020 the slightest

00:55:26.460 clue who the

00:55:27.080 hell that is,

00:55:27.760 but he got

00:55:28.900 it.

00:55:29.060 Reading the

00:55:29.420 article says,

00:55:30.440 as the sports

00:55:30.960 and media

00:55:31.220 world converge

00:55:31.940 on San

00:55:32.380 Francisco Bay

00:55:32.960 area next

00:55:33.520 month for

00:55:34.000 the Super

00:55:34.240 Bowl,

00:55:35.160 Hollywood

00:55:35.340 reporters

00:55:35.660 learned that

00:55:36.120 the league

00:55:36.500 will also

00:55:36.840 be pushing

00:55:37.220 to make

00:55:37.580 the big

00:55:37.960 game the

00:55:38.920 center of

00:55:39.780 the creator

00:55:40.160 universe.

00:55:40.660 with more

00:55:41.820 than 160

00:55:42.440 creators

00:55:43.080 across various

00:55:43.920 social platforms

00:55:44.640 set to film

00:55:45.220 content during

00:55:45.840 Super Bowl

00:55:46.240 week.

00:55:47.520 Creators have

00:55:48.000 been a core

00:55:48.640 part of our

00:55:49.140 fan engagement

00:55:49.700 strategy for

00:55:50.280 many seasons,

00:55:50.840 so we're

00:55:51.500 excited to

00:55:51.900 bring some

00:55:52.240 of the most

00:55:52.540 popular names

00:55:53.220 to Super

00:55:53.540 Bowl 60.

00:55:54.620 As we work

00:55:55.260 with partners

00:55:55.680 like YouTube

00:55:56.200 and Snapchat

00:55:56.660 to bring over

00:55:57.340 160 creators

00:55:58.380 to the bay,

00:55:59.340 we have the

00:55:59.560 unique opportunity

00:56:00.020 to give

00:56:00.320 creators the

00:56:01.060 key to one

00:56:02.260 of the biggest

00:56:02.640 cultural events

00:56:03.340 in the world.

00:56:03.820 One of the

00:56:40.200 Okay,

00:56:40.760 so let's

00:56:41.240 pause there

00:56:41.680 for a

00:56:41.940 moment.

00:56:44.120 I mean,

00:56:44.780 donating to

00:56:45.280 Children's

00:56:45.600 Hospital,

00:56:46.020 that's great.

00:56:47.020 You can do

00:56:47.720 that anyway.

00:56:48.580 All the rest

00:56:49.080 of it is

00:56:50.840 perhaps the 0.93

00:56:51.440 gayest thing 1.00

00:56:52.040 that's ever 0.99

00:56:52.420 been conceived

00:56:53.040 in human

00:56:53.860 history.

00:56:54.900 Like,

00:56:55.420 this is

00:56:55.700 gayer than 0.91

00:56:56.040 a pride

00:56:56.340 parade.

00:56:57.580 The chief

00:57:07.760 opposing

00:57:08.140 team

00:57:08.580 with

00:57:08.780 hashtag

00:57:09.720 kindness

00:57:10.340 wins

00:57:10.840 big.

00:57:15.640 Imagine

00:57:16.160 explaining

00:57:16.680 this to

00:57:17.080 like an

00:57:17.340 old school

00:57:18.040 football

00:57:18.560 fan.

00:57:20.020 I'm

00:57:20.540 trying to

00:57:20.840 imagine

00:57:21.220 going back

00:57:22.040 going back

00:57:24.000 in time

00:57:24.340 like 60

00:57:24.840 years to

00:57:26.020 tell my

00:57:26.380 grandfather

00:57:26.780 about this.

00:57:27.860 I actually

00:57:28.420 never knew

00:57:28.740 my grandfather

00:57:29.240 on either

00:57:29.740 side because

00:57:30.240 they both

00:57:30.500 died before

00:57:30.900 I was

00:57:31.120 born.

00:57:31.320 But even

00:57:32.160 so I'm

00:57:32.380 trying to

00:57:32.720 imagine going

00:57:33.220 back 50

00:57:33.760 or 60

00:57:34.120 years going

00:57:34.680 to my

00:57:35.040 grandfather

00:57:35.960 watching like

00:57:36.920 a Steelers

00:57:38.160 game with

00:57:39.320 his buddies

00:57:39.780 in a room

00:57:41.500 that reeks

00:57:41.980 of tobacco

00:57:42.640 and beer

00:57:43.700 and saying

00:57:45.560 hey the

00:57:47.240 chief kindness

00:57:47.920 officer has

00:57:48.800 this fun

00:57:49.780 new be

00:57:50.700 kind to

00:57:51.240 your rival

00:57:51.780 campaign.

00:57:53.760 You guys

00:57:54.520 should say

00:57:54.880 nice things

00:57:55.540 about the

00:57:55.960 opposing team

00:57:56.800 because

00:57:58.140 you know

00:57:58.620 hashtag

00:57:59.500 kindness

00:58:00.060 wins

00:58:00.460 big.

00:58:01.200 What

00:58:01.500 do you

00:58:01.700 say

00:58:02.020 gang?

00:58:04.420 I think

00:58:05.020 probably

00:58:05.260 somebody

00:58:05.540 would throw

00:58:05.920 an ashtray

00:58:06.580 directly at 0.60

00:58:07.260 my head.

00:58:09.240 I think

00:58:09.820 they would

00:58:10.000 look at

00:58:10.220 me in

00:58:10.420 total disgust

00:58:11.160 and confusion

00:58:11.800 and then

00:58:12.680 fling an

00:58:13.080 ashtray

00:58:13.540 directly at

00:58:14.260 my face.

00:58:15.060 That's

00:58:15.520 what I

00:58:15.700 think

00:58:15.840 probably

00:58:16.120 would

00:58:16.280 happen.

00:58:19.000 And you

00:58:19.760 know back

00:58:20.120 in those

00:58:20.400 days the

00:58:20.780 idea that

00:58:21.220 football ever

00:58:21.980 would become

00:58:22.660 this

00:58:23.420 effeminate 0.99

00:58:24.240 just would

00:58:25.620 not have

00:58:26.180 entered their

00:58:26.760 minds.

00:58:27.140 I don't

00:58:27.300 think they'd

00:58:27.600 be able to

00:58:27.960 understand it.

00:58:29.080 It's like

00:58:29.580 unthinkable.

00:58:31.700 But here we

00:58:32.340 are.

00:58:32.680 I'll read a

00:58:33.140 little bit

00:58:33.320 more.

00:58:35.480 I'm honored

00:58:36.080 to be appointed

00:58:36.520 by the NFL

00:58:37.020 as its chief

00:58:37.680 kindness officer

00:58:38.400 says man.

00:58:39.800 I tell

00:58:40.420 hopeful stories

00:58:41.220 and the

00:58:41.480 Super Bowl

00:58:41.800 has always

00:58:42.220 been more

00:58:42.720 about more

00:58:44.340 than football.

00:58:46.100 No it

00:58:46.600 hasn't.

00:58:47.360 No it's

00:58:47.660 about football

00:58:48.140 actually Dar

00:58:49.080 whoever you

00:58:50.780 are.

00:58:51.020 it's

00:58:52.580 actually just

00:58:53.440 about football

00:58:53.920 is what

00:58:54.260 it's about.

00:58:56.540 And then

00:58:57.060 it lists some

00:58:57.480 other creators

00:58:58.040 that will be

00:58:58.280 involved in

00:58:58.940 this week

00:58:59.600 of celebration.

00:59:01.900 Jay

00:59:02.300 Balvin,

00:59:03.760 Drewski,

00:59:07.280 Ashley

00:59:07.740 Aklom,

00:59:09.500 D-Stroying.

00:59:11.560 I don't know

00:59:12.580 who any of

00:59:12.780 these people

00:59:13.000 are.

00:59:14.460 I have no

00:59:15.100 clue.

00:59:15.960 I know who

00:59:16.600 Drewski is.

00:59:17.500 Okay I know

00:59:18.100 who that is but

00:59:18.720 I don't know

00:59:19.000 any of these

00:59:19.320 other people.

00:59:20.220 And that goes

00:59:20.560 to something I've

00:59:21.000 talked about

00:59:21.380 before.

00:59:22.060 I mean leaving

00:59:22.420 the NFL aside

00:59:23.120 for a moment.

00:59:23.680 This goes back

00:59:24.260 to the point

00:59:24.780 that our

00:59:26.560 culture is so

00:59:27.260 hopelessly

00:59:27.880 fractured.

00:59:28.640 You've got

00:59:29.020 these faux

00:59:29.560 celebrities with

00:59:30.380 millions of

00:59:30.940 fans who

00:59:31.800 nobody outside

00:59:32.960 of their direct

00:59:33.760 circle of fans

00:59:34.640 has ever heard

00:59:35.420 of.

00:59:37.060 Because fame

00:59:37.840 has no

00:59:38.560 ripple

00:59:39.120 anymore beyond

00:59:40.740 the immediate

00:59:41.640 group of

00:59:42.140 hardcore fans.

00:59:42.940 So you have

00:59:43.180 you know

00:59:43.800 you're a famous

00:59:44.620 person like by

00:59:45.860 the numbers

00:59:46.340 numerically you're

00:59:47.040 a famous person

00:59:47.520 because millions

00:59:47.880 of people know

00:59:48.240 who you are.

00:59:48.780 If millions

00:59:49.140 of people know

00:59:49.440 who you are

00:59:49.860 then you

00:59:50.600 count as

00:59:51.160 famous.

00:59:51.580 I think that

00:59:51.860 probably qualifies.

00:59:54.160 But it's

00:59:55.320 like you have

00:59:56.240 millions of

00:59:56.720 people who

00:59:57.080 are actual

00:59:59.980 fans or

01:00:01.920 you know

01:00:02.540 depending on

01:00:03.140 what world

01:00:03.500 you're in

01:00:03.840 big time

01:00:04.360 haters

01:00:04.680 whatever.

01:00:05.960 But then

01:00:06.200 outside of

01:00:06.840 that there's

01:00:07.860 no like

01:00:08.820 gravitational pull.

01:00:09.860 It just dies

01:00:10.340 off and like

01:00:10.900 everyone else

01:00:11.440 they have no

01:00:11.760 clue.

01:00:12.320 No clue who

01:00:13.220 you are.

01:00:13.560 and you

01:00:17.060 know it's

01:00:17.320 not it's

01:00:17.600 like a

01:00:18.000 celestial

01:00:18.360 body that

01:00:19.220 that has

01:00:19.920 a you know

01:00:20.640 usually it's

01:00:21.020 like a strong

01:00:21.900 gravitational pull

01:00:22.960 and then as you

01:00:23.840 go out farther

01:00:24.380 and farther

01:00:24.860 the gravitational

01:00:25.580 pull weakens

01:00:26.280 but it's still

01:00:26.760 there.

01:00:27.860 And now

01:00:28.400 there's just

01:00:29.380 none of that.

01:00:30.160 It's like once

01:00:30.520 you get outside

01:00:31.040 the once you

01:00:32.180 get outside

01:00:32.560 of the kind

01:00:32.940 of inner

01:00:33.300 ring the moon

01:00:34.760 circling the

01:00:35.420 thing it just

01:00:35.780 disappears

01:00:36.220 completely.

01:00:38.200 And that's

01:00:38.900 because there's

01:00:39.240 no shared

01:00:39.680 culture.

01:00:40.140 There's no

01:00:40.400 monoculture.

01:00:41.380 Everyone lives

01:00:41.900 inside their own

01:00:42.480 little bubble

01:00:43.000 and to

01:00:44.320 everyone else

01:00:45.000 if you're not

01:00:45.400 in that bubble

01:00:45.920 it's like a

01:00:46.360 it's a foreign 1.00

01:00:47.020 world.

01:00:47.500 You've never

01:00:47.660 even heard of

01:00:48.120 any of this

01:00:48.420 stuff.

01:00:49.720 But more to

01:00:50.380 the point

01:00:50.760 you know you

01:00:51.960 hear about all

01:00:52.380 this stuff the

01:00:52.780 NFL is doing

01:00:53.380 chief kindness

01:00:54.080 officer be

01:00:54.940 kind to your

01:00:55.380 rival bringing

01:00:56.280 all these

01:00:56.780 YouTubers 0.97

01:00:57.460 halftime show

01:00:59.600 with the

01:00:59.860 cross-dressing

01:01:00.380 Hispanic guy.

01:01:02.040 And of course

01:01:02.640 the first

01:01:03.240 question that

01:01:03.760 comes to mind

01:01:04.240 is who is

01:01:04.820 this for?

01:01:06.400 I mean really

01:01:07.340 who is it

01:01:07.940 for?

01:01:09.380 It's definitely

01:01:09.960 not for football

01:01:10.520 fans.

01:01:11.620 It's not for

01:01:12.220 actual fans

01:01:12.860 of the

01:01:13.040 game.

01:01:13.760 That's

01:01:14.080 certain.

01:01:15.240 And the

01:01:15.720 answer is

01:01:16.020 obvious.

01:01:16.380 It's no big

01:01:16.740 mystery.

01:01:17.940 It's all for

01:01:18.740 women. 0.81

01:01:19.100 That's what

01:01:19.360 it's for.

01:01:20.060 That's what

01:01:20.320 all this is

01:01:20.780 for.

01:01:21.120 It's for

01:01:21.540 women. 0.81

01:01:23.340 Be kind

01:01:23.800 to your

01:01:24.000 chief kindness

01:01:24.860 officer.

01:01:25.580 That cannot

01:01:26.080 now I don't

01:01:26.860 know how

01:01:27.100 appealing it'll

01:01:27.600 be to most

01:01:28.040 women but 1.00

01:01:29.160 it cannot

01:01:29.640 be meant

01:01:30.560 for anyone

01:01:31.220 but women. 1.00

01:01:34.400 There's no

01:01:35.140 man on the

01:01:36.220 planet.

01:01:36.640 You have

01:01:36.960 zero chance

01:01:37.620 of appealing

01:01:38.020 to any man

01:01:38.940 at all

01:01:39.380 with this.

01:01:41.560 So it's

01:01:43.100 all for

01:01:43.380 women. 0.81

01:01:44.380 And pretty

01:01:44.580 much everything

01:01:45.160 the NFL

01:01:45.520 does now at

01:01:46.260 the corporate

01:01:46.660 level is

01:01:47.380 for women.

01:01:48.780 Even most

01:01:49.480 of the rule

01:01:49.920 changes on

01:01:50.920 the field,

01:01:51.500 most of the

01:01:51.880 things they

01:01:52.360 do, they

01:01:52.700 change the

01:01:53.760 rules in

01:01:54.680 some way.

01:01:55.260 They tweak

01:01:55.560 the rules

01:01:55.880 every single

01:01:56.300 year and

01:01:57.980 almost always

01:01:58.940 making the

01:01:59.320 product worse.

01:02:00.800 But it's

01:02:01.500 all for women

01:02:02.000 because it's

01:02:02.480 designed to

01:02:03.240 make the

01:02:03.580 game less

01:02:04.200 violent,

01:02:04.900 less aggressive.

01:02:07.180 That's what

01:02:07.740 it's about.

01:02:09.820 And it's

01:02:10.380 for women.

01:02:12.000 And you

01:02:12.520 notice this

01:02:12.900 only ever

01:02:13.240 goes one

01:02:13.660 way.

01:02:13.980 You never

01:02:14.340 see any

01:02:14.780 feminine

01:02:15.220 things being

01:02:16.100 masculinized

01:02:17.140 for the

01:02:17.660 sake of

01:02:18.020 men.

01:02:18.700 It's only

01:02:19.140 ever masculine 0.97

01:02:19.900 things being

01:02:20.520 feminized.

01:02:21.100 It never

01:02:21.360 goes the

01:02:21.660 other way.

01:02:22.600 And that

01:02:23.340 doesn't mean

01:02:23.880 that men

01:02:24.480 are not

01:02:24.960 intruding in

01:02:25.560 women's

01:02:25.860 spaces.

01:02:27.100 We know

01:02:27.660 that happens.

01:02:28.640 Over the

01:02:29.240 years we've

01:02:29.520 talked about

01:02:29.820 it so many

01:02:30.160 times.

01:02:30.620 But you

01:02:30.840 think about

01:02:31.100 how that

01:02:31.380 works.

01:02:32.040 When a

01:02:32.620 man intrudes

01:02:33.220 in a

01:02:33.460 woman's 0.82

01:02:33.820 space,

01:02:34.620 on a

01:02:34.900 woman's 0.82

01:02:35.220 team,

01:02:35.820 in her

01:02:36.120 locker

01:02:36.420 room,

01:02:37.440 he has to

01:02:38.460 pretend

01:02:39.380 that he

01:02:40.160 is a

01:02:40.600 woman to 0.98

01:02:41.760 do it.

01:02:42.460 So men

01:02:42.820 intrude into

01:02:43.460 women's

01:02:43.840 spaces by

01:02:44.480 pretending

01:02:45.040 that they

01:02:45.700 are women.

01:02:47.040 Which is

01:02:47.700 bad.

01:02:49.000 I think

01:02:49.200 everyone knows

01:02:49.620 my stance

01:02:50.120 on that.

01:02:50.560 I think

01:02:50.780 it's very

01:02:51.100 bad.

01:02:51.940 But when

01:02:52.440 women intrude 1.00

01:02:53.100 into men's

01:02:53.840 spaces,

01:02:54.700 they don't

01:02:55.740 do it by

01:02:56.180 pretending

01:02:56.600 that they're

01:02:57.100 men, for

01:02:57.640 the most

01:02:57.900 part.

01:02:58.840 They do

01:02:59.520 it by

01:02:59.760 forcing the

01:03:00.480 men's

01:03:00.920 space to

01:03:01.560 become a

01:03:02.080 woman's 0.82

01:03:02.480 space.

01:03:04.640 So they

01:03:05.260 don't

01:03:05.440 masculinize

01:03:06.200 themselves,

01:03:07.000 they feminize 0.96

01:03:07.800 the space.

01:03:08.580 Men try 0.93

01:03:09.060 to feminize

01:03:09.880 themselves to

01:03:11.380 access women's

01:03:12.440 spaces.

01:03:13.700 Women try 1.00

01:03:14.140 to access

01:03:14.740 men's

01:03:15.280 spaces by

01:03:16.000 feminizing

01:03:16.720 the space.

01:03:19.460 And the

01:03:20.200 outrage, at

01:03:20.680 least by

01:03:20.980 conservatives,

01:03:21.620 is almost

01:03:21.940 exclusively

01:03:22.520 focused on

01:03:23.660 the men

01:03:24.240 in women's

01:03:24.720 spaces.

01:03:28.120 But this

01:03:29.060 other intrusion

01:03:29.880 is also

01:03:31.320 bad, and

01:03:32.260 you could

01:03:32.680 argue it's

01:03:33.220 many times

01:03:33.980 worse.

01:03:34.400 It's at

01:03:34.620 least much

01:03:35.220 more

01:03:35.480 pervasive.

01:03:35.920 That's

01:03:37.440 no doubt

01:03:37.800 about that.

01:03:38.740 Much

01:03:39.180 more

01:03:39.400 pervasive.

01:03:41.020 And it's

01:03:43.260 at least

01:03:43.540 just as

01:03:43.960 bad.

01:03:45.740 And, you

01:03:46.420 know, because

01:03:46.920 of the

01:03:47.480 effect that

01:03:47.880 it has.

01:03:50.820 Where now

01:03:51.420 all these

01:03:51.820 spaces that

01:03:52.320 were meant

01:03:52.720 to be for

01:03:53.120 men are

01:03:53.460 just, like,

01:03:55.240 gone.

01:03:56.720 Like, feminized

01:03:57.660 into oblivion.

01:03:59.960 With men

01:04:00.600 intruding into

01:04:01.040 women's spaces,

01:04:01.700 it's a more

01:04:04.500 contained

01:04:04.980 problem, and

01:04:05.880 the solution

01:04:06.320 is, like,

01:04:06.900 okay, we

01:04:07.380 need laws and

01:04:09.300 policies, and

01:04:09.960 in many cases

01:04:10.600 those have been

01:04:11.040 put in place,

01:04:11.820 saying you

01:04:13.120 can't be here

01:04:13.840 because you're

01:04:14.160 not a woman.

01:04:16.180 That's how you

01:04:16.760 solve that

01:04:17.220 problem.

01:04:18.800 The problem

01:04:19.460 the other

01:04:19.700 way is that

01:04:21.280 these spaces

01:04:21.900 have just been

01:04:22.600 abolished.

01:04:24.840 Men's only

01:04:25.440 spaces, in

01:04:26.020 many cases,

01:04:26.460 just don't

01:04:26.760 exist anymore.

01:04:27.840 They're just

01:04:28.040 gone.

01:04:29.240 Or they've

01:04:30.000 been feminized

01:04:30.740 into oblivion.

01:04:31.700 And that's

01:04:33.900 the thing.

01:04:34.200 It's not to

01:04:34.640 say that women 1.00

01:04:35.060 should never

01:04:35.680 watch football

01:04:36.300 or whatever.

01:04:36.860 Obviously, my

01:04:37.340 wife will 1.00

01:04:37.660 watch football

01:04:38.100 with me, and

01:04:39.300 she's not as

01:04:39.960 invested in it

01:04:40.860 as I am, but

01:04:41.500 she'll watch

01:04:41.980 it.

01:04:43.200 Nothing wrong

01:04:43.860 with that, but

01:04:44.900 the thing that

01:04:45.300 you're watching

01:04:45.860 is for men,

01:04:48.480 inherently.

01:04:50.980 Football is

01:04:51.780 for men.

01:04:53.060 It is for

01:04:53.920 men.

01:04:54.560 It is men 1.00

01:04:55.640 performing it.

01:04:56.420 It's men 0.99

01:04:56.800 that do it.

01:04:58.020 It is a

01:04:59.480 violent, it's

01:05:00.400 like everything

01:05:00.960 about it

01:05:01.740 fundamentally

01:05:02.760 is meant to

01:05:04.040 appeal to

01:05:04.480 men.

01:05:04.740 It is for

01:05:05.340 men.

01:05:06.400 For men and

01:05:07.240 by men.

01:05:09.020 If football is

01:05:09.960 not that, then

01:05:10.860 it's not

01:05:11.120 football anymore.

01:05:15.160 And just

01:05:15.700 like we call

01:05:16.140 on men to

01:05:16.820 respect the

01:05:17.460 fact that,

01:05:17.940 okay, this is

01:05:18.300 a woman's 0.56

01:05:18.740 space, you

01:05:19.180 don't belong

01:05:19.600 here, it

01:05:20.600 should go the

01:05:21.000 other way

01:05:21.220 too.

01:05:22.240 This is a

01:05:22.900 man's space.

01:05:24.400 Again, it

01:05:24.860 doesn't mean you

01:05:25.140 can't watch,

01:05:25.660 it doesn't mean

01:05:25.900 you can't enjoy

01:05:26.400 it, but it's

01:05:27.520 not for

01:05:28.180 you.

01:05:29.200 And so

01:05:29.360 there shouldn't

01:05:30.020 be changes

01:05:30.680 made to

01:05:31.360 appeal to

01:05:31.820 you.

01:05:32.440 That's the

01:05:32.900 point.

01:05:37.040 And it

01:05:38.780 doesn't work

01:05:39.200 anyway.

01:05:40.860 You can't

01:05:41.400 make football

01:05:42.040 feminine.

01:05:42.700 That's not

01:05:43.040 possible to

01:05:43.640 do.

01:05:45.460 All you

01:05:46.060 can do is

01:05:46.440 make it less

01:05:47.080 interesting and

01:05:48.200 more lame.

01:05:49.240 You can do

01:05:49.600 that.

01:05:50.600 So every

01:05:51.200 attempt that

01:05:51.720 they make to

01:05:52.240 feminize football

01:05:52.940 or any of

01:05:53.720 these masculine

01:05:54.200 things, all

01:05:55.460 they really

01:05:55.860 end up doing

01:05:56.460 is because

01:05:56.760 you can't.

01:05:58.080 There's no

01:05:58.740 version of

01:05:59.300 football that's

01:05:59.780 actually for

01:06:00.220 women. 0.81

01:06:00.600 It just

01:06:00.800 doesn't exist.

01:06:02.080 It just

01:06:02.620 can't exist.

01:06:04.780 So all

01:06:05.800 you can do

01:06:06.200 is make it

01:06:06.820 less interesting.

01:06:09.960 And that's

01:06:10.620 what they're

01:06:10.780 doing.

01:06:12.660 So they

01:06:16.680 can't succeed

01:06:17.240 in making it

01:06:18.800 actually feminine. 0.96

01:06:20.100 It's not going

01:06:20.640 to stop them

01:06:20.960 from trying.

01:06:22.260 And the more

01:06:22.880 they try, the

01:06:23.500 more they ruin

01:06:24.040 it.

01:06:25.480 And that

01:06:26.660 is the

01:06:26.920 point.

01:06:28.380 And on that

01:06:28.840 happy note,

01:06:29.460 as always, we

01:06:30.160 will wrap it

01:06:30.940 there for

01:06:31.660 today and

01:06:32.960 the week.

01:06:34.480 Have a great

01:06:35.120 weekend.

01:06:36.200 Talk to you

01:06:36.560 on Monday.

01:06:37.440 Godspeed.

01:06:44.260 They told you

01:06:45.080 America invented 0.71

01:06:46.020 slavery.

01:06:47.820 They told you

01:06:48.740 the Indians were

01:06:49.360 peaceful.

01:06:51.380 They told you

01:06:52.180 colonialism was

01:06:53.060 evil. 0.63

01:06:53.500 Joseph McCarthy

01:06:54.780 was a bad

01:06:55.300 guy.

01:06:56.680 And guess

01:06:56.900 what?

01:06:57.820 They lied.

01:06:59.400 For half a

01:06:59.820 century, generations

01:07:00.660 of American

01:07:01.120 schoolchildren have

01:07:02.160 been taught to

01:07:02.700 hate our

01:07:03.020 history, hate

01:07:04.220 our country, and

01:07:05.320 hate themselves.

01:07:06.540 It's time to

01:07:07.160 set the record

01:07:07.620 straight.

01:07:08.500 And since no

01:07:09.060 one else is

01:07:09.680 going to do

01:07:09.940 it, I will.

01:07:12.000 Who sold us

01:07:12.600 to slaves?

01:07:13.520 What were

01:07:14.160 India and

01:07:14.660 Africa like 0.95

01:07:15.280 before Europeans 0.99

01:07:16.020 arrived?

01:07:16.760 What caused

01:07:17.580 white flight?

01:07:18.880 Some of the most

01:07:19.360 well-known stories

01:07:20.100 from American

01:07:20.460 history are

01:07:21.440 designed to

01:07:21.880 demoralize you. 0.95

01:07:22.880 Trail of 0.93

01:07:23.280 tears, smallpox

01:07:24.620 blanket smith, the

01:07:25.660 red scare.

01:07:26.760 It's all

01:07:27.080 baseless.

01:07:28.280 It's time for a

01:07:28.940 lesson on what

01:07:29.920 they're not

01:07:30.380 teaching in public

01:07:31.160 schools, on the

01:07:32.380 real history of

01:07:32.960 slavery, of

01:07:33.840 colonialism, of the

01:07:35.300 Indians, of 0.99

01:07:36.400 America, and the

01:07:37.640 world.
