00:00:13.760 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, at a hearing over the murder of Irina Zarutska in North Carolina,

00:00:18.120 an elected official reveals that he is so clueless about his own job that he would not be able to pass a third grade civics exam.

00:00:24.700 I like to say that he's an extreme case, but the fact is that our government at every level is infested with the dumbest humans who've ever lived.

00:00:31.240 Also, the House passes a voter ID bill. Democrats are taking about as well as you might expect.

00:00:35.720 An Olympic athlete cries on camera because his girlfriend broke up with him.

00:00:40.540 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:02:20.940 It's been nearly six months since the brutal murder of 23-year-old Irina Zarutska on the light rail system in Charlotte.

00:02:27.840 The murder was committed by a violent, habitual felon named DeCarlos Brown,

00:02:32.040 a black man who, for an allegedly crazy person, chose his victim very carefully.

00:02:37.320 Brown did not attack the first person he saw.

00:02:39.320 He rode the light rail for several hours that day, waited until a defenseless white woman sat in front of him,

00:02:44.800 and then after just a couple of minutes, stabbed Zarutska several times before walking off the train

00:02:49.980 and bragging that he had just murdered a, quote, white girl.

00:02:53.760 Now, in a serious country, every politician who allowed Brown to commit this murder

00:02:57.260 would have immediately resigned in disgrace and gone into exile, if not been imprisoned themselves.

00:03:03.900 And there were many, many elected officials who were responsible for what happened.

00:03:08.320 For about a thousand reasons, Brown should not have been a free man at the time of the murder.

00:03:12.940 He had a record that included arrests for felony larceny, assault, shoplifting, many other crimes.

00:03:19.420 He'd also pleaded guilty to committing a robbery with a dangerous weapon, which sent him to prison for several years.

00:03:23.500 And then after, after all these arrests, in January of 2025, just months before murdering Irina Zarutska,

00:03:30.180 Brown repeatedly called 911 to report that he was under the control of a mysterious man-made material

00:03:35.560 that had entered his bloodstream.

00:03:37.640 And after enough of these calls, officers arrested him.

00:03:41.080 But a judge, a black woman named Teresa Stokes, who also happens to run a mental health treatment clinic,

00:03:46.540 decided not to keep to Carlos Brown in jail.

00:03:49.020 Instead, the judge allowed Brown to go free as long as he provided a written promise that he would appear in court.

00:03:57.200 She permitted a violent criminal who was committing more crimes and behaving like a raving lunatic

00:04:02.160 to live among the general public.

00:04:05.800 Lawmakers gave her discretion to unleash this monster on the city of Charlotte.

00:04:10.760 The judge took advantage of that discretion, and a very predictable result occurred.

00:04:15.360 Now, for the past six months, to their credit, Republicans in North Carolina

00:04:19.840 have refused to allow Irina's killer and his accomplices in the state government

00:04:24.800 to get away with what they've done.

00:04:27.480 First, Republicans with a small amount of Democrat support passed Irina's law.

00:04:31.720 This is a law that, if it had been in place last summer, would have saved her life.

00:04:35.980 It prevents magistrate judges from releasing habitual violent felons, men like to Carlos Brown,

00:04:40.860 without bail.

00:04:42.340 So, no more written promises or cashless bail.

00:04:46.600 Now, by itself, that provision would have kept Carlos Brown in jail for at least all of 2025,

00:04:51.940 since he had no money.

00:04:53.760 And additionally, judges, and this is important,

00:04:56.480 have to provide written explanations for any decision to release violent or habitual offenders.

00:05:02.240 They're also obligated to make criminals undergo mental health screening

00:05:05.260 if there's any possibility that they might be insane, which, again, was the case with the Carlos Brown.

00:05:10.500 And if judges fail to meet those obligations, among others, then they'll be removed from the bench.

00:05:16.320 That's the first prong of the Republican response to Irina Zarutska's murder.

00:05:20.820 But they've also been holding hearings in which they force elected officials with jurisdiction over Charlotte,

00:05:25.860 the people who should have kept the Carlos Brown in jail,

00:05:28.100 to answer questions under oath.

00:05:31.580 And these hearings, in no uncertain terms,

00:05:34.000 have been a train wreck for the Democrats who were responsible for Irina's murder.

00:05:38.800 They've also been eye-opening as to how utterly unintelligent

00:05:43.300 and incompetent and unprepared our leaders are.

00:05:47.360 I mean, these hearings, and other hearings that we'll discuss in a moment,

00:05:50.340 are the best argument for mass disenfranchisement

00:05:54.220 and mass impeachments that you will ever see.

00:05:56.480 The people running major cities in the United States

00:05:59.080 shouldn't be allowed to vote,

00:06:00.860 much less make life-or-death decisions that affect millions of people.

00:06:04.800 We'll start with the questioning of Mecklenburg County Sheriff Gary McFadden,

00:06:09.020 who is responsible for overseeing the jails in Charlotte.

00:06:12.780 So he's the guy whose agency released to Carlos Brown.

00:06:17.220 Now watch this line of questioning from North Carolina Republican Representative Alan Chesser

00:06:22.100 if you're able to get through it.

00:06:24.240 Now by any measure, this is a top 10 all-time moment,

00:06:28.020 or bottom 10 depending on how you look at it,

00:06:30.700 that's ever taken place in a legislative hearing in this country.

00:06:34.840 Watch.

00:06:35.180 But I will very plainly ask you to answer my questions quickly, concisely,

00:06:42.800 and not go on a long tirade,

00:06:45.260 because I'm going to do my best not to be disrespectful,

00:06:48.100 and I don't want my time wasted either.

00:06:50.400 So first, if I were to classify your position as the highest law enforcement officer in the county,

00:06:55.940 would that be a fair description?

00:06:57.380 That's correct.

00:06:58.160 And as such, you made reference earlier that you're a constitutional office.

00:07:05.840 My colleague made reference that there are constitutional divisions amongst responsibilities between us and you.

00:07:11.980 What branch of government do you operate under?

00:07:15.780 Mecklenburg County.

00:07:16.660 What branch of government do you operate under, Sheriff?

00:07:28.040 Constitution of the United States.

00:07:30.240 Correct.

00:07:30.600 That is what establishes the branches of government.

00:07:32.940 I'm asking which branch you fall under.

00:07:36.240 Mecklenburg County.

00:07:37.160 I'm a duly sworn Mecklenburg County Sheriff.

00:07:39.820 We answer to the people of Mecklenburg County.

00:07:42.620 This was not where I was anticipating getting stuck.

00:07:48.740 Are you aware of how many branches of government there are?

00:07:51.920 No.

00:07:53.640 Okay.

00:07:57.580 For the sake of debate, I will move on and say there are three branches of government,

00:08:02.000 legislative, executive, judicial.

00:08:04.060 Of those three, which do you believe you fall under?

00:08:06.600 I believe I fall under the last one.

00:08:09.760 Would you say it to me?

00:08:11.260 Judicial.

00:08:12.180 Okay.

00:08:12.800 You are incorrect, sir.

00:08:14.400 You fall under the executive.

00:08:16.720 And as a member of the executive, what do you believe your primary function is?

00:08:22.340 Care and custody of those in my custody at the Mecklenburg County Detention Center.

00:08:25.980 So this is the top law enforcement official in a major county in the state with a population of more than a million people.

00:08:36.420 He's been in law enforcement for more than 36 years.

00:08:39.080 He was a legendary homicide detective, according to his official biography.

00:08:44.200 He won a contested primary election four years ago by nearly 10,000 votes.

00:08:49.100 He won the general election unopposed with around 200,000 votes.

00:08:53.720 And despite all that experience, and despite the position he now holds, he does not have a fourth grader's grasp of his job description.

00:09:01.920 It's not simply that he doesn't know which branch of government his office falls under.

00:09:06.740 He doesn't even know what a branch of government is.

00:09:10.280 I mean, for all he knows, there are 20 branches of government.

00:09:12.280 I'm surprised that when asked about the branches of government, he didn't start listing the parts of a tree.

00:09:18.460 Twig?

00:09:19.700 Am I in the twig?

00:09:20.860 Is that my branch?

00:09:23.240 That's how hopelessly clueless this guy is.

00:09:25.280 Now, to be clear, this is not some dumb viral gotcha moment.

00:09:30.720 It's also not a gaffe, which is how media outlets in North Carolina are describing this video.

00:09:36.880 It's directly relevant to his ability to perform his job.

00:09:40.220 And it says a lot about how we select our leaders in this country.

00:09:44.220 It cannot be stated enough that an elected official or anyone in government not being able to list the branches of government is a shocking level of ignorance, given their job description.

00:09:55.000 Imagine if you sent a contract to your lawyer, asked him to look it over and break it down for you.

00:10:00.240 And then he sent you back an email saying, oh, sorry, what's a contract?

00:10:03.820 When you say contract, what do you mean exactly?

00:10:06.200 That's the level of rank stupidity we're dealing with here.

00:10:12.040 Now, of course, if you work for the judicial branch, which the sheriff apparently believes he does, I mean, he obviously doesn't know what the word judicial means.

00:10:19.000 That's what he said.

00:10:19.720 The last one.

00:10:22.080 Executive, legislative, judicial, which one do you work for?

00:10:24.980 The last one.

00:10:25.800 But if you do work for that branch of government, then your job is to interpret the law.

00:10:32.000 Judges don't really do that anymore either, but that's supposed to be the idea in theory.

00:10:36.960 So on the other hand, if you're, though, an executive branch officer, your job is quite different.

00:10:41.140 Your job is to enforce the laws that are passed by the legislative branch.

00:10:45.360 This is not a moot point.

00:10:46.580 It's clearly an issue that causes a lot of confusion for this particular sheriff.

00:10:51.200 Now, in a separate interview a few months ago, the sheriff suggested that unless his bosses in the judicial branch give him permission, then he doesn't have to follow North Carolina law.

00:11:01.360 Watch.

00:11:02.960 All right.

00:11:03.520 So let's clear it up.

00:11:05.320 You actually say that you are obeying everything that you need to mandated by ICE and the federal government, right?

00:11:13.800 Absolutely. I can tell you this.

00:11:15.520 You will never hear a lawmaker or any judicial, I mean, a lawmaker or ICE or DHS says this.

00:11:22.860 Sheriff McFadden is not following the law.

00:11:25.860 They will use the word cooperation because they want me to do something that is not, is outside of the law.

00:11:32.360 If a federal judge or a magistrate or a state judicial official has not signed a paper, then it is not legally my book.

00:11:41.120 So he implies that he can't do anything to enforce immigration law unless a federal judge or magistrate or state judicial official has signed a paper.

00:11:49.860 And once again, this strongly suggests that he has no idea what his actual responsibilities are.

00:11:54.860 The way immigration law works, deportation orders are mostly handled by officials and administrators within the executive branch, including immigration judges and other officers.

00:12:04.020 These are people who work for the DOJ.

00:12:05.920 They aren't part of the judiciary branch, and in the vast majority of cases, they aren't federal judges.

00:12:11.480 And therefore, since North Carolina law requires that the sheriff cooperate with ICE, he's actually not allowed to wait for a federal judge or magistrate in the judiciary branch to sign a paper before he does anything.

00:12:24.300 And the sheriff doesn't remotely understand any of this, which is obviously a big problem for the top law enforcement official in the county.

00:12:30.480 But the really amusing part of that clip is from the beginning, when he says something like, you'll never hear a lawmaker say that I'm not following the law.

00:12:38.820 You'll never hear a lawmaker say that old Sheriff McFadden isn't following the law.

00:12:42.500 But in reality, you will hear lawmakers say that.

00:12:45.500 At the hearing the other day, several lawmakers took turns one after another saying that.

00:12:50.180 And it wasn't exactly a tough argument to make since the sheriff himself stated that he doesn't he doesn't follow the law and apparently doesn't know what the law is or even what laws are in general.

00:13:01.320 This is another top 10 moment from that hearing.

00:13:03.900 Watch.

00:13:05.680 And the agreeable to law.

00:13:07.820 What do you think that means?

00:13:09.360 Following the law.

00:13:10.420 Following the law.

00:13:11.400 Following the law.

00:13:12.660 Not opinions.

00:13:13.760 Following the law.

00:13:14.860 I would agree.

00:13:15.880 Thank you.

00:13:16.320 With that, do you think your personal opinions have any authority to override statute or do you believe your office holds any authority to nullify law?

00:13:31.500 No.

00:13:32.240 Okay.

00:13:33.100 So if how do you reconcile that with the public statements that you've made about not enforcing the law?

00:13:42.660 I've never said I'm not enforcing the law.

00:13:44.740 With respect, I'm going to read a direct quote from you, sir.

00:13:50.040 It says, quote, we do not have a role in enforcement whatsoever.

00:13:56.740 We do not have to follow the rules and the laws that are governed by our lawmakers in Raleigh, end quote.

00:14:03.380 We were talking about, again, you're taking the content of what I said when we are talking about immigration.

00:14:14.740 We don't follow the law.

00:14:19.620 So you're saying you don't follow the law?

00:14:21.920 No, we follow the law.

00:14:26.260 You want to expand on that?

00:14:27.620 No.

00:14:28.900 Okay.

00:14:30.340 That's the same guy a couple of months ago who was giving interviews saying,

00:14:33.480 you never hear a single lawmaker claim I don't follow the law.

00:14:38.140 Well, not only do lawmakers say that, but he himself has said that.

00:14:42.360 I never said I don't follow the law.

00:14:43.780 Well, let me read a transcript where you say, and I quote, we don't follow the law.

00:14:48.700 It's like a sketch comedy show, except for the fact that people are being slaughtered, you know, because of morons like this.

00:14:54.380 So you can't really laugh at it.

00:14:56.280 At no point has this sheriff expressed even a hint of responsibility or regret for what happened to Irena's roots.

00:15:00.940 In fact, at every available opportunity, he's minimized her death.

00:15:04.900 This is one of the more egregious examples.

00:15:06.740 It's truly one of the worst answers he could have possibly given under the circumstances.

00:15:11.420 Watch.

00:15:11.660 If Irena's law had gone into effect before last Friday, or if Irena's law had been into effect before Irena passed in August, would she still be alive today?

00:15:25.380 Would she?

00:15:26.220 Yes.

00:15:27.120 I don't know.

00:15:27.600 You know, I think that we are, and here's the sad part, we are over-exaggerating just one stabbing death, and we're over-exaggerating just stabbing on the light rail.

00:15:38.700 Think about how many people were injured or stabbed that same day when the person was stabbed on the light rail.

00:15:45.980 And not saying that Irena's law, Irena, we could have prevented that, and we never would know if we could prevent that.

00:15:52.840 But the young man who took her life was diagnosed bipolar and schizophrenia, okay?

00:16:00.460 But 618 people inside the Mecklenburg County Detention Center had that same diagnosis.

00:16:07.700 And so it's not unique, but it's unique because it was caught on film, it was nationally sensationalized, and we used the word refugee instead of immigration.

00:16:20.140 So, again, we changed the wording to fit the agenda.

00:16:24.420 Gotcha.

00:16:26.320 Let's just stop and think about his answer here.

00:16:28.500 This is how he attempts to explain away the stabbing death of a woman on a train in his county.

00:16:35.680 Although we have to allow for the possibility that he might not know what a train is or what the word stab means or what death is or what planet he's currently on.

00:16:43.880 But the excuse he's going with is that, yeah, Irena was stabbed to death, but people are stabbed to death all the time in Charlotte.

00:16:49.500 People are getting constantly butchered by schizophrenic hobos where I work.

00:16:53.320 Look, his point is that he's so bad at his job that nobody is safe anyway.

00:16:59.160 Everyone's getting stabbed all the time.

00:17:01.280 Oh, you got stabbed to death?

00:17:02.480 Well, hey, take a number, get in line.

00:17:05.460 Why are we talking about this one specific case?

00:17:07.680 There's people getting stabbed right now.

00:17:09.760 That's how bad at my job I am.

00:17:13.220 This is his prepared response during a televised interview to a very straightforward question,

00:17:17.380 which is, would Irena's law have saved her life?

00:17:19.560 First, he could not make it any more obvious that he doesn't care, doesn't even want to consider the possibility that something can actually be done

00:17:27.340 in order to save the lives of innocent women on the Charlotte light rail system in the future.

00:17:31.640 He views the routine slaughter of Charlotte's population as a badge of honor.

00:17:36.000 And to all appearances, that's because he's simply too stupid to understand what he's even saying

00:17:41.060 or how it sounds to people with an IQ north of room temperature.

00:17:44.640 His only defense during that oversight committee hearing in North Carolina was a very predictable one.

00:17:51.220 Can you guess what it was?

00:17:54.440 What did the black sheriff say when all these Republican legislators pointed out in a public hearing

00:18:01.420 that he was an idiot who was doing a horrible job?

00:18:04.640 What do you think?

00:18:05.560 What do you think he said?

00:18:06.580 I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count.

00:18:09.280 What do you think?

00:18:10.040 Go ahead.

00:18:10.400 Just take a wild guess and then we'll watch.

00:18:14.400 Here it is.

00:18:16.060 As of today, we have people wanting to be rehired.

00:18:19.820 We can't hire everyone that's applied.

00:18:22.300 Why?

00:18:22.840 Because we are particular about who's running our agency.

00:18:29.940 That means my detention officer and my staff.

00:18:32.660 So we don't hire everybody that applies.

00:18:35.960 They want to work for Sheriff McFadden.

00:18:38.360 I can tell you that a young man came to me only because he saw my picture on the bus.

00:18:45.120 People want to work for the first black sheriff of Mecklenburg County because it's rare.

00:18:50.920 So let's let's get this clear.

00:18:52.780 They want to work for me.

00:18:54.660 They would love to work for me.

00:18:56.340 And if we put a positive light.

00:19:02.140 Yeah.

00:19:02.780 You know, it's just not it's not acceptable.

00:19:05.420 How could you criticize a black sheriff and during Black History Month?

00:19:09.820 No less.

00:19:11.700 You shouldn't be asking all these racist questions.

00:19:15.380 After all, he's black.

00:19:17.420 He's the first black sheriff.

00:19:19.520 He's rare.

00:19:20.980 His photos on the bus.

00:19:23.100 Black people see his photo on the bus and they go, oh, it's a black guy.

00:19:26.040 Plus, he's black.

00:19:28.820 Did we mention that he's black?

00:19:31.560 Did you know that he's black?

00:19:32.620 Just just ask him.

00:19:33.580 He'll tell you.

00:19:34.720 He doesn't know much.

00:19:36.340 Sheriff McFadden.

00:19:38.240 If he's even pronouncing his own name correctly, I think it's pronounced McFadden.

00:19:41.920 I think he's mispronouncing his own last name as well.

00:19:44.660 On top of everything else.

00:19:46.160 Doesn't even know his own name.

00:19:47.520 He doesn't know.

00:19:48.040 He doesn't know much of anything, but he does know that he's black.

00:19:51.740 Ask him that question.

00:19:53.420 Ask him, what are the three branches of government?

00:19:55.620 I don't know.

00:19:56.440 What country is this?

00:19:57.380 I don't know.

00:19:57.780 What planet are we on?

00:19:58.880 What's the solar system?

00:19:59.960 Who knows?

00:20:00.360 Who knows?

00:20:01.100 Are you black?

00:20:01.820 Oh, hell yeah, I am.

00:20:03.980 Tell you all about that.

00:20:06.760 So it's totally unacceptable for you to talk about how he doesn't understand the most basic

00:20:10.680 fundamental functions of the government or what his job description is.

00:20:14.140 Totally unacceptable for you to complain about the slaughter of one white woman on public transit.

00:20:19.960 After all, she was white.

00:20:21.140 He's black.

00:20:23.320 Somehow from this point, the hearing descended even further into the depths of total stupidity.

00:20:28.400 One lawmaker wanted to know why this sheriff allows murderers to use a music studio to record

00:20:34.180 rap songs while in prison.

00:20:36.740 Which is a pretty reasonable question, all things considered.

00:20:39.940 I mean, they are in prison for murder after all.

00:20:41.980 And watch this.

00:20:43.340 It's about the music studio inside of the jail.

00:20:48.440 We have a music studio and I guess they're rapping or something in there.

00:20:54.760 And the family member of some of the victims that were murdered were very upset about that.

00:21:02.140 Do you think that's appropriate to have a music studio for people to rap in that are in jail for murder or other felonies?

00:21:11.800 So let me put the content in the better content.

00:21:15.260 Every single one of us in here listens to music.

00:21:19.980 Every single one of us in here take music into our lives.

00:21:23.580 That's part of rehabilitation for us.

00:21:27.900 I have directly spoke with that family member about that person being displayed as someone inside our detention center simply just making music.

00:21:42.600 It is part of rehabilitation you can look at many studies and see that music helps us so we've taken this out of content of one particular thing.

00:21:53.440 We should be talking about the mental health that we incorporated inside a detention center North Carolina first mental health institution inside of a detention center.

00:22:05.580 Now, at this point, even though this man is a sheriff, an elected official, obviously just a bad person all around, you almost feel bad making fun of how stupid he is.

00:22:20.360 I mean, it feels a bit like making fun of a baby.

00:22:23.660 That's kind of what it feels like.

00:22:26.080 I suppose that comparison is pretty offensive to babies.

00:22:28.700 I just want to quote the sheriff here because he did say, and I quote verbatim, this is the quote.

00:22:35.320 Here it is.

00:22:36.960 Let me put that content into better content.

00:22:41.840 What?

00:22:44.340 Okay, yeah, put the content into better content.

00:22:49.500 So the content of what the lawmaker asked is bad because it's obviously bad to let convicted murderers and rapists play around in a music studio and pretend to be rappers.

00:22:58.700 When we're supposed to be punishing them for raping and killing people, that's bad content.

00:23:03.100 But he wants to take that bad content and put it into better content.

00:23:07.660 Sure, that makes sense.

00:23:08.660 Let's all just nod our heads politely.

00:23:11.760 We don't want them to call us racist again, after all.

00:23:14.340 And what else are you going to do with a prison but just set up a music studio and let them make music?

00:23:20.280 Maybe Roger Goodell will show up and, you know, pick out his next halftime act at this prison.

00:23:26.840 Might as well at this point.

00:23:29.700 By the way, the lawmaker who asked that question is actually a Democrat.

00:23:32.800 Her name is Carla Cunningham.

00:23:34.360 And totally apart from this hearing, she's also seeking to have the sheriff removed from office.

00:23:38.740 Why?

00:23:39.080 Well, because she says the sheriff threatened to remove her law enforcement protection unless she voted the way he wanted her to on a piece of legislation concerning ICE.

00:23:48.240 Yes, the sheriff threatened a sitting lawmaker in order to pressure her to vote against federal law enforcement.

00:23:53.600 And this is from Yahoo News.

00:23:54.880 Quote, Cunningham is one of five people who have filed a petition to remove Sheriff McFadden from office,

00:23:59.800 alleging that the sheriff threatened to withhold law enforcement protection for the legislature,

00:24:04.100 a legislator, unless she voted to sustain the governor's veto of a bill that the sheriff opposed.

00:24:09.440 The sheriff told the legislator that his office could not or would not protect her from violence if she cast a legislative vote in favor of a bill that McFadden opposed.

00:24:19.340 The petition states legislation was designed to strengthen cooperation between local law enforcement agencies and the federal agency, immigration and customs enforcement.

00:24:26.480 So this guy, and you hear that and you think, well, that's so, you want to say that's outlandish.

00:24:33.560 Like who, who would be that brazen?

00:24:36.420 Who would do that?

00:24:37.440 You can't just go to a lawmaker and say, hey, do what we want or we're going to take your, your security protection away.

00:24:45.740 That's not even subtle.

00:24:47.120 I mean, that's just a, you're brazenly brazen.

00:24:49.340 You're breaking like 10 different laws there.

00:24:50.920 But then you realize that like, oh, this guy, I mean, he legitimately has an IQ of 50.

00:24:57.680 So yeah, that totally tracks.

00:25:00.680 Put simply, this guy is probably one of the dumbest people in the entire state.

00:25:04.100 Bottom 10%, I mean, easily.

00:25:06.300 Doesn't speak English very well.

00:25:07.720 Threatens lawmakers.

00:25:08.640 Doesn't know what a branch of government is.

00:25:10.980 His understanding of basic civics is far, far less advanced than what you'd find in a Schoolhouse Rocks video from the 90s.

00:25:17.900 Doesn't care about horrific murderers because, you know, horrific murders happen all the time.

00:25:23.160 Pretty much the only thing he's sure of is that he wants murderers to wrap inside his prison.

00:25:28.980 And he's sure that he's black.

00:25:30.280 Those two things.

00:25:32.280 Sheriff Gary McFadden, all things considered, may actually be the dumbest Democrat to currently hold elected office.

00:25:38.460 It's a high bar to clear.

00:25:40.020 But he may have just cleared it.

00:25:41.980 Now, the reigning champion, of course, is Hank Johnson, the congressman from Georgia.

00:25:45.700 But admittedly, Hank Johnson is very hard to dethrone.

00:25:49.760 I thought he never would be.

00:25:51.880 Because as you probably remember, he once, years ago, asked in Admiral whether the island of Guam might capsize if too many Marines were stationed there.

00:26:02.460 And, you know, why not just take a trip down memory lane?

00:26:05.240 Here's that clip again.

00:26:06.560 Sir, I think Guam is a small island.

00:26:10.680 Very small island and about 24 miles, if I recall, long.

00:26:17.180 So 24 miles long, about 7 miles wide at the least widest place on the island.

00:26:26.900 And about 20, about 12 miles wide on the widest part of the island.

00:26:36.360 And I don't know how many square miles that is.

00:26:42.760 Do you happen to know?

00:26:44.580 I don't have that figure with me, sir.

00:26:46.900 I can certainly supply it to you if you'd like.

00:26:49.200 Yeah, my fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.

00:27:05.120 We don't anticipate that.

00:27:08.160 The Guam population, I think, currently about 175,000.

00:27:12.560 And again, with 8,000 Marines and their families, it's an addition of about 25,000.

00:27:19.200 I mean, God bless that admiral there.

00:27:23.740 He took that.

00:27:25.060 He was about as polite as you could possibly be.

00:27:30.240 Well, we don't anticipate that.

00:27:32.680 My fear is that the whole island will capsize.

00:27:35.320 Yeah, we don't anticipate that.

00:27:39.820 Admiral, my fear is that soda pop will rain from the sky.

00:27:47.780 And we'll all drown in a river of soda and gumdrops.

00:27:52.260 That's my fear.

00:27:55.240 We don't anticipate that.

00:27:57.500 We don't anticipate it.

00:27:59.880 Now, he's been in office for nearly two decades.

00:28:02.100 He's gone out for re-election every two years.

00:28:03.860 And every two years, he wins by more than 100,000 votes in his district, which happens to be majority black.

00:28:09.640 He thinks an island can capsize if you station a few thousand Marines on it.

00:28:13.740 But his voters don't have any problem with that.

00:28:16.800 Now, he thinks islands float on top of the water like giant rafts.

00:28:20.500 That's what he thinks.

00:28:21.040 Because if they did, then that concern might be legitimate.

00:28:25.640 Which raises the question of how the islands stay in place.

00:28:28.780 Like, if that's the case, if they're just floating there, then why hasn't Hawaii bumped into Asia at this point?

00:28:37.540 Maybe Hank, you know, maybe he thinks that, you know, there's like teams of mermaids under the islands holding them in place, holding on to ropes.

00:28:47.440 Who knows?

00:28:48.360 And presumably, his voters also think that islands can capsize if a bunch of people stand on them and are maybe being kept in place by mermaids.

00:28:54.980 So at a certain point, you can't really blame Hank Johnson.

00:28:58.440 You have to start looking at the voters.

00:29:00.960 And Georgia is well past that point.

00:29:03.920 So is the state of New Jersey, where a lawmaker named LaMonica MacGyver just axed the director of ICE some questions at a congressional hearing.

00:29:12.440 Watch.

00:29:14.220 So, Mr. Lyons, I've heard my colleagues ask many questions over and over again, and you cannot answer them.

00:29:20.940 So let me ask you some questions that you may be able to answer.

00:29:25.260 Mr. Lyons, do you consider yourself a religious man?

00:29:28.420 Yes, ma'am.

00:29:29.320 Oh, yes.

00:29:30.320 Okay, well, how do you think Judgment Day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?

00:29:36.380 I'm not going to entertain that question.

00:29:38.080 Oh, okay, of course not.

00:29:39.000 Do you think you're going to hell, Mr. Lyons?

00:29:40.960 I'm not going to entertain.

00:29:41.700 Of course not.

00:29:43.140 How many governments...

00:29:44.280 The gentlelady will suspend.

00:29:45.620 The gentlelady will suspend.

00:29:47.060 Chairman.

00:29:47.380 A gentlelady will suspend.

00:29:49.040 As I said, the issues we're debating here are important to ones that members feel deeply about.

00:29:53.600 While vigorous disagreement is part of the legislative process, members are reminded that we must adhere to established standards of decorum and debate.

00:30:02.120 The witnesses are here voluntarily.

00:30:04.420 And I will continue to remind members that while oversight is important, aggressively attacking those witnesses personally is inappropriate and not in keeping with the traditions of our committee.

00:30:14.820 Hey, Mr. Chairman, I'm just asking a question.

00:30:17.520 You guys are always talking about religion here in the Bible.

00:30:20.720 I mean, it's okay for me to ask a question, right?

00:30:22.880 But let me continue on.

00:30:24.080 I got your notes.

00:30:25.160 All right.

00:30:25.520 The gentlelady may resume.

00:30:26.420 Thank you so much.

00:30:26.840 Let me get back to my question, Mr. Chairman.

00:30:28.640 Thank you.

00:30:29.040 I appreciate you.

00:30:30.300 How many government agencies, Mr. Lyons...

00:30:31.820 I'm just asking a question.

00:30:37.360 Let me ask you a question.

00:30:41.640 Is you going to hell?

00:30:43.360 Let me ask you a question.

00:30:46.080 Is you going to hell?

00:30:50.160 She was so proud of herself, too.

00:30:52.160 She thought she had a...

00:30:53.160 I mean, she had written that ahead of time.

00:30:55.640 And her whole staff...

00:30:56.320 You know, her staff are...

00:30:57.220 They're all morons, also.

00:30:58.560 You could assume.

00:30:59.280 And they loved it.

00:31:00.840 They were like, that's going to...

00:31:02.260 That's going to go viral.

00:31:05.600 That, of course, is the only...

00:31:06.700 That's the only thing that these lawmakers even care about in hearings anymore,

00:31:10.440 is that they just want to go viral.

00:31:11.940 I said this before.

00:31:13.520 We've...

00:31:14.920 Anyone who thinks that our government is populated by, like, power-hungry egomaniacs

00:31:21.880 who just want to control everything,

00:31:24.200 anyone who thinks that still is way behind times here.

00:31:26.820 Now, they are egomaniacs.

00:31:28.120 That's true.

00:31:29.280 But a lot of these people, they're not even power-hungry.

00:31:31.980 They're actually not.

00:31:32.840 They just want to go viral.

00:31:34.780 Like, they just want to be influencers, right?

00:31:36.700 That's all they want.

00:31:38.680 That's the only thing they're after,

00:31:40.160 is they want to get clicks and likes on...

00:31:43.040 They're, like, no different from your standard TikTok slop influencer.

00:31:48.180 That's all they want to do.

00:31:51.760 Now, you have to keep in mind, when you watch footage like this,

00:31:54.140 that women like LaMonica MacGyver

00:31:56.020 are the cream of the crop, in a sense.

00:31:58.620 I mean, she's the absolute best representative that her district,

00:32:01.120 another district that would rank high on the diversity metrics, by the way,

00:32:04.380 chose to send to the U.S. Congress.

00:32:06.880 They had other options, and they chose her.

00:32:10.880 Like the sheriff in Charlotte, she has no idea what the purpose of a hearing is,

00:32:15.240 or what her job description is,

00:32:17.540 or how you're supposed to act in a civilized society,

00:32:21.300 nor can she speak proper English,

00:32:23.320 and that goes for a lot of her constituents also.

00:32:27.000 The reason dysfunctional countries in places like South America and Africa

00:32:30.160 are dysfunctional at the end of the day

00:32:31.540 is that their leaders act like this.

00:32:33.680 They don't have the intelligence or the ambition to do anything else.

00:32:37.180 They don't care about the law.

00:32:38.160 They don't understand any of your arguments.

00:32:39.900 And as a result, if given enough power,

00:32:42.880 they will destroy everything that the founders of this country built.

00:32:46.940 That's certainly the goal of Michigan Congressman Sri Thanedar,

00:32:51.340 who can barely speak English at all,

00:32:53.020 even though he moved to the United States from India in the late 1970s.

00:32:56.180 He's been here for a long time.

00:32:58.360 But he's sure of one thing, which is that he wants to abolish ICE.

00:33:01.540 And like the sassy woman from New Jersey,

00:33:04.180 he came prepared to ask the ICE director,

00:33:06.400 along with the director of Customs and Border Protection,

00:33:09.740 some extremely stupid questions.

00:33:11.460 Watch.

00:33:12.860 Do you think President Trump will pardon you

00:33:16.440 and your boss, Christine Ohm,

00:33:20.040 before he leaves office,

00:33:22.580 just like he has for insurrectionists and his political allies?

00:33:28.880 Do you believe President Trump will pardon you?

00:33:34.020 Because, go ahead.

00:33:36.400 I'm not going to speak on behalf of President Trump,

00:33:38.700 but I'll tell you,

00:33:39.740 I signed up for this job to protect America,

00:33:42.380 and I'm very proud of the service that I provide,

00:33:45.640 and I don't need a pardon from anybody.

00:33:47.360 Well, you better hope so.

00:33:48.760 You better hope you get been pardoned,

00:33:50.840 because you will be held accountable

00:33:52.480 for the absolute disregard of the law

00:33:55.600 your agencies have shown over the past year.

00:34:00.360 Your agencies have lost the trust

00:34:02.500 of the American people.

00:34:06.400 With millions taking to the streets

00:34:09.780 to protect the illegal actions of your agencies.

00:34:15.300 And that's why I introduced a bill

00:34:17.860 in the United States Congress

00:34:20.300 to abolish ICE.

00:34:22.360 Yeah, I mean, this isn't even really

00:34:24.700 a political monologue at this point.

00:34:26.360 Even if you're a rabid left-winger

00:34:28.200 and you voted for Kamala Harris,

00:34:29.880 this should appall you.

00:34:31.360 This is just abject, pure, unfiltered, raw stupidity.

00:34:35.620 These are not serious people.

00:34:38.140 And until the last 100 years or so,

00:34:39.980 none of them would have been anywhere near

00:34:41.420 positions of power.

00:34:43.620 Really, until the last 50 years,

00:34:45.200 or even sooner than that.

00:34:46.220 But now these absolute buffoons

00:34:48.320 are all over the place.

00:34:49.900 From state legislatures

00:34:51.040 to the U.S. Congress,

00:34:52.040 you simply cannot avoid them.

00:34:53.260 They are everywhere.

00:34:55.940 Now, it's difficult to believe now.

00:34:58.540 Maybe hard to believe.

00:35:01.000 But for most of American history,

00:35:03.860 Congress was filled

00:35:05.800 exclusively

00:35:07.820 with high-IQ men

00:35:10.780 who were extremely articulate

00:35:12.460 and took the job seriously.

00:35:16.560 And you could say,

00:35:17.580 well, society was racist

00:35:18.880 and misogynistic

00:35:19.640 and backwards

00:35:20.400 and archaic back then.

00:35:23.080 We can't possibly go back

00:35:24.560 to those dark times.

00:35:27.860 If that's your position,

00:35:29.120 I challenge you to find

00:35:30.460 a single political debate

00:35:31.920 in American legislature

00:35:33.200 from the 18th, 19th,

00:35:35.080 or early 20th centuries.

00:35:37.720 Okay, so I'm giving you,

00:35:38.420 that's a huge time period

00:35:40.040 we're giving you.

00:35:41.120 Find just one.

00:35:42.460 Just one debate

00:35:44.960 that was anywhere near

00:35:46.980 as retarded

00:35:48.000 as the clips

00:35:48.680 we've run through today.

00:35:50.660 Find me one.

00:35:53.680 It just didn't happen.

00:35:55.480 Like, it just didn't happen.

00:35:58.340 Now, our leaders

00:35:59.440 could get animated

00:36:00.220 to be sure.

00:36:00.920 There was the famous incident

00:36:01.980 just prior to the Civil War

00:36:03.460 where a senator

00:36:04.060 was nearly beaten to death

00:36:05.220 with a cane

00:36:05.860 in the 1800s

00:36:07.280 after he insulted

00:36:08.900 a congressman's relative.

00:36:10.520 But, you know,

00:36:10.940 things got intense.

00:36:13.420 But they never became

00:36:14.800 truly unambiguously idiotic.

00:36:20.260 It's a matter

00:36:21.140 of historical fact.

00:36:23.460 America was not

00:36:24.460 overrun with foreigners.

00:36:27.220 Voters were relatively intelligent

00:36:28.960 and that system

00:36:29.920 produced intelligent leaders.

00:36:32.320 You cannot argue

00:36:33.460 in any credible fashion

00:36:34.580 that it's an improvement

00:36:35.860 to have the kind of Congress

00:36:37.440 and the kind of lawmakers

00:36:38.460 and officials

00:36:39.060 that we have today.

00:36:40.380 None of these people

00:36:41.120 should be allowed

00:36:41.920 to serve

00:36:42.360 in any official capacity

00:36:43.620 at all.

00:36:45.840 Whatever we've done

00:36:46.740 to allow idiots like this

00:36:47.860 to become elected officials

00:36:48.800 in the United States,

00:36:49.700 we need to reverse

00:36:50.340 those decisions immediately.

00:36:52.240 None of the founders

00:36:53.060 would have tolerated

00:36:53.860 any of this.

00:36:55.720 We wouldn't have a country

00:36:56.800 if they did.

00:36:58.400 So here's my proposal,

00:36:59.840 just one.

00:37:01.760 Disenfranchise

00:37:02.280 and bar from office

00:37:03.160 any politician

00:37:04.040 in the bottom 30%

00:37:05.440 of American IQs.

00:37:06.720 Just starting with that.

00:37:10.820 You could do that

00:37:11.540 in any number of ways.

00:37:12.560 For example,

00:37:13.040 you could have them all

00:37:13.760 take an old SAT test

00:37:15.140 or something similar.

00:37:17.460 Overnight,

00:37:17.920 a law like that

00:37:18.560 would fix about 90%

00:37:19.640 of our problems.

00:37:21.460 Now, yeah,

00:37:21.760 I'm aware of the counterarguments.

00:37:23.080 People will say,

00:37:23.540 well, the IQ test

00:37:24.420 can be rigged.

00:37:26.580 Although it really can't

00:37:27.560 if you do it right,

00:37:28.240 especially if you pick

00:37:28.860 an old version of an SAT test.

00:37:30.220 But even if you buy

00:37:31.360 that argument,

00:37:33.440 the fact remains,

00:37:34.120 like, we got to do something.

00:37:35.300 We have no choice.

00:37:36.720 We cannot continue

00:37:38.160 as a country

00:37:38.920 when our leaders

00:37:39.520 lack the mental capacity

00:37:40.980 to know what they're

00:37:43.040 even supposed to be doing.

00:37:46.940 And I would take it

00:37:48.380 further than that.

00:37:49.960 A man who can't even

00:37:51.120 name the branches

00:37:51.820 of government,

00:37:52.440 much less identify

00:37:53.220 the one he works for,

00:37:54.860 should not be in any kind

00:37:55.900 of leadership position

00:37:56.660 in society,

00:37:57.680 but he also shouldn't

00:37:58.580 have the right to vote.

00:37:59.860 How many of the people

00:38:00.880 who vote for guys like that

00:38:02.900 or any of the idiots

00:38:03.620 we played clips of today,

00:38:05.160 how many of them

00:38:06.780 could pass a fifth grade

00:38:07.740 civics exam themselves?

00:38:10.520 What if the exam

00:38:11.440 consisted of precisely

00:38:12.320 one question?

00:38:13.100 What if,

00:38:13.580 when you go to vote,

00:38:15.600 you had to take a civics exam,

00:38:17.240 but there was just one question,

00:38:18.780 the easiest one,

00:38:20.100 the one the sheriff failed,

00:38:21.600 and you simply asked,

00:38:23.680 you simply axed voters

00:38:25.680 to list the branches

00:38:27.260 of government?

00:38:27.820 What if that was

00:38:29.500 the only thing

00:38:30.180 you had to do?

00:38:32.280 You could even Google

00:38:33.360 it ahead of time

00:38:34.300 as a lot of people would,

00:38:35.960 but when you get there,

00:38:36.920 you got to write it down

00:38:37.780 on a piece of paper.

00:38:38.960 No looking at your phone

00:38:39.980 when you get there.

00:38:41.700 You got to come in

00:38:42.560 in person

00:38:43.140 and write it down

00:38:44.020 on a piece of paper.

00:38:44.840 What percent of voters

00:38:45.860 today

00:38:46.360 would fail that quiz?

00:38:51.500 It's more than

00:38:52.200 one or two percent.

00:38:53.100 I think we all know that.

00:38:54.120 Our system cannot survive

00:38:56.940 if the dumbest,

00:38:57.760 most incompetent,

00:38:58.700 most utterly clueless

00:38:59.880 and befuddled among us

00:39:01.020 are allowed to lead this country

00:39:02.300 or have any say

00:39:03.420 over the direction

00:39:04.080 of the country

00:39:04.640 through the ballot box.

00:39:06.480 This is a far greater threat

00:39:07.660 to American democracy

00:39:08.820 than Russia or China

00:39:10.480 or Iran

00:39:11.200 or anyone else.

00:39:12.880 Without a doubt,

00:39:13.660 the greatest threat

00:39:14.380 to American democracy

00:39:15.220 is that because of

00:39:16.380 Democrat rule

00:39:17.120 and open borders

00:39:17.800 and the general collapse

00:39:18.920 of intelligence

00:39:19.480 in this country,

00:39:20.580 the votes of competent Americans

00:39:22.360 are effectively being

00:39:23.800 canceled out,

00:39:24.720 washed away,

00:39:25.760 drowned

00:39:26.180 in a sea of retardation.

00:39:29.160 And for the sake

00:39:29.980 of everyone else

00:39:30.660 living here,

00:39:32.020 the descendants

00:39:32.480 of the people

00:39:33.020 who built this country

00:39:33.840 and the people

00:39:34.320 who can keep it running

00:39:35.640 another 250 years,

00:39:37.180 that needs to change

00:39:38.560 one way or another.

00:39:41.440 Now let's get

00:39:42.040 to our five headlines.

00:39:48.480 I love having seafood

00:39:49.580 for dinner,

00:39:50.080 but the grocery store's

00:39:51.300 quality was just not

00:39:52.380 cutting it in the slightest.

00:39:53.320 I decided I needed

00:39:54.000 to find a higher

00:39:54.920 quality option,

00:39:55.980 which is why I was excited

00:39:56.780 to try our sponsor,

00:39:58.140 Wild Alaskan Company.

00:39:59.840 My first box

00:40:00.540 had perfectly portioned

00:40:02.340 sockeye salmon

00:40:03.160 and Pacific halibut

00:40:04.320 individually wrapped,

00:40:05.460 ready to go

00:40:05.960 through the sockeye

00:40:06.840 on the grill

00:40:07.300 with just some lemon

00:40:08.100 and salt.

00:40:08.740 It was rich and flavorful.

00:40:09.920 Definitely not like

00:40:10.600 the mushy stuff

00:40:11.420 from the store.

00:40:12.840 Their fish is 100%

00:40:13.640 wild caught,

00:40:14.420 never farmed,

00:40:15.320 so no antibiotics,

00:40:16.640 no GMOs,

00:40:17.420 none of that.

00:40:18.280 Clean, real fish

00:40:19.420 that supports

00:40:20.200 healthy oceans

00:40:21.060 and fishing communities.

00:40:22.140 Plus, it's frozen

00:40:23.180 right off the boat

00:40:24.000 to lock in the taste,

00:40:25.320 texture,

00:40:25.760 and all those

00:40:26.360 omega-3s.

00:40:27.620 And it's sustainably

00:40:28.480 sourced from Alaska,

00:40:29.440 so you know you're

00:40:30.180 getting the best

00:40:31.280 while feeding

00:40:31.940 your family

00:40:33.000 quality seafood.

00:40:34.340 Not all fish

00:40:35.020 are the same.

00:40:35.740 Get seafood

00:40:36.320 you can trust.

00:40:47.440 Thanks to Wild Alaskan Company

00:40:49.200 for sponsoring this episode.

00:40:51.520 Pregnancy can arrive

00:40:52.480 unexpectedly,

00:40:53.380 and for those

00:40:53.780 facing an unplanned pregnancy,

00:40:55.140 fear and uncertainty

00:40:55.860 can feel overwhelming.

00:40:57.240 Past decisions

00:40:57.840 and abortions

00:40:58.560 may carry lingering grief

00:40:59.880 that feels hard

00:41:00.760 to navigate alone.

00:41:02.120 That's where our sponsor

00:41:02.860 Preborn steps in.

00:41:04.180 Their clinics

00:41:04.540 offer compassionate support

00:41:06.120 without judgment,

00:41:07.060 providing honest conversations,

00:41:08.760 accurate information

00:41:09.700 at a safe space

00:41:10.740 to process difficult emotions

00:41:12.500 and explore options.

00:41:14.060 One of the most powerful tools

00:41:15.040 Preborn provides

00:41:15.960 is ultrasound technology.

00:41:17.440 Seeing a developing baby

00:41:18.740 on screen

00:41:19.520 and hearing a heartbeat

00:41:20.280 can bring clarity

00:41:21.280 in moments of confusion.

00:41:22.860 For many,

00:41:23.220 that simple appointment

00:41:24.380 becomes a turning point,

00:41:25.880 transforming fear

00:41:26.700 and uncertainty

00:41:27.220 into hope and confidence.

00:41:29.440 Preborn walks alongside women

00:41:30.840 through every stage

00:41:31.980 of their journey.

00:41:32.940 The impact is real.

00:41:33.980 Babies are born,

00:41:34.860 families are formed,

00:41:36.140 and healing happens.

00:41:37.480 And this can all begin

00:41:38.260 with something as simple

00:41:39.560 as an ultrasound.

00:41:40.640 Be a part of that change

00:41:41.540 with a $28 donation

00:41:43.160 to cover the costs

00:41:44.160 for a mother in need.

00:41:45.020 All donations are tax-deductible

00:41:46.460 and 100% of your donation

00:41:48.580 goes directly

00:41:49.520 to saving babies

00:41:50.340 and building families.

00:41:51.820 To donate securely,

00:41:53.040 dial pound 250,

00:41:54.100 say the keyword baby,

00:41:55.360 pound 250, baby,

00:41:56.780 or go to preborn.com slash Walsh.

00:41:58.920 It's preborn.com slash Walsh.

00:42:01.100 So it's kind of

00:42:01.860 a natural transition here,

00:42:03.080 Daily Wire reports.

00:42:04.380 House of Representatives

00:42:05.080 passed a new version

00:42:06.200 of the Save America Act

00:42:07.400 on Wednesday evening,

00:42:09.220 giving some new life

00:42:11.480 to legislation

00:42:12.140 that would require

00:42:12.760 photo identification

00:42:13.580 and proof of U.S. citizenship

00:42:15.040 for voters.

00:42:16.560 The vote went largely

00:42:17.500 along party lines

00:42:18.560 with every Republican

00:42:19.760 who was present

00:42:20.280 voting in favor of the measure.

00:42:22.580 The lone Democrat

00:42:23.200 to break with his party

00:42:24.040 and vote for the Save America Act

00:42:25.400 was Henry Seller.

00:42:28.700 The bill,

00:42:29.620 introduced by Texas Republican

00:42:30.660 Representative Chip Roy

00:42:31.740 and pushed by President Donald Trump,

00:42:33.260 heads to the Senate

00:42:33.860 where it faces an uphill battle

00:42:34.980 to reach Trump's desk.

00:42:36.020 But that's the bill.

00:42:41.900 And it was passed.

00:42:43.160 Obviously, it's a good bill.

00:42:44.160 Great idea.

00:42:45.100 Necessary piece of legislation.

00:42:47.000 Of course, Democrats are reacting

00:42:48.200 exactly as you would expect,

00:42:50.520 shouting that this bill

00:42:51.460 will disenfranchise millions.

00:42:53.280 It's racist.

00:42:54.120 It's sexist.

00:42:54.900 It's Jim Crow, etc., etc.,

00:42:56.240 and so on.

00:42:58.300 You know, there's a million examples

00:42:59.240 we don't have to play.

00:43:00.040 We really don't have to play

00:43:00.880 any of them.

00:43:01.240 But here's one anyway.

00:43:02.640 This is Representative Dahlia Ramirez,

00:43:05.680 who was last heard

00:43:07.520 saying that Guatemala,

00:43:09.980 that she is Guatemalan

00:43:11.340 before she's American.

00:43:12.700 So she should have been removed

00:43:13.960 from office and deported already,

00:43:15.260 but she hasn't been,

00:43:16.720 so she's still here.

00:43:17.840 And here she is weighing in

00:43:19.800 on the Save Act.

00:43:23.860 Look, as I hear my colleagues

00:43:25.360 on the other side of the aisle,

00:43:26.500 what I hear is the same racist,

00:43:28.400 misogynistic trash,

00:43:30.100 different decades.

00:43:30.800 Republicans are invoking

00:43:32.660 historical policies intended,

00:43:34.620 let's be clear,

00:43:35.660 to disenfranchise Americans,

00:43:37.420 especially working people,

00:43:39.220 women, students,

00:43:40.860 indigenous people,

00:43:41.940 and anyone who can't afford

00:43:43.700 the burdens of a new bill.

00:43:45.520 The Save America Act

00:43:47.120 is yet another Republican attempt

00:43:49.480 to intimidate and suppress

00:43:51.320 the votes of anyone,

00:43:52.880 anyone who threatens

00:43:54.380 their extremist,

00:43:55.200 white supremacist agenda.

00:43:58.760 White supremacists, extremists,

00:44:00.800 we're just throwing,

00:44:02.540 I like, she throws in

00:44:03.500 indigenous people.

00:44:04.700 I think that's the first time

00:44:05.560 I've heard that.

00:44:08.560 Why are,

00:44:09.080 so now indigenous people

00:44:10.720 also can't get IDs?

00:44:14.260 Never mind the fact that,

00:44:16.120 like, what do you mean

00:44:16.700 by indigenous?

00:44:19.380 Like, white people

00:44:20.420 of European descent

00:44:21.540 are, you know,

00:44:23.600 actually indigenous inhabitants

00:44:25.260 of the country

00:44:27.080 of the United States of America.

00:44:28.800 But anyway,

00:44:29.760 so all that is total nonsense.

00:44:32.560 And, um,

00:44:34.040 of course,

00:44:34.380 none of these people

00:44:34.860 could explain how or why

00:44:36.460 the law actually

00:44:38.640 disenfranchises anyone.

00:44:39.720 And Scott Jennings on CNN,

00:44:41.300 I think,

00:44:41.900 illustrated that point

00:44:43.040 quite brilliantly.

00:44:44.420 You know,

00:44:44.580 you can always,

00:44:45.460 you,

00:44:46.620 you can always stump

00:44:47.700 these people.

00:44:48.440 You can always stump leftists,

00:44:49.800 as we've seen,

00:44:50.520 with the simplest questions.

00:44:51.640 And many times,

00:44:53.220 um,

00:44:53.860 when they make a statement,

00:44:56.080 all you have to say is,

00:44:57.380 is,

00:44:58.580 well,

00:44:58.780 why is that the case?

00:45:00.300 Or,

00:45:00.820 what do you mean by that?

00:45:03.780 That word you just used,

00:45:05.140 what does that,

00:45:05.660 what does that mean?

00:45:07.100 Or in this case,

00:45:08.000 how?

00:45:08.360 How's,

00:45:08.700 how's that going to happen?

00:45:10.180 The most basic follow-up

00:45:11.720 is enough to make them

00:45:13.040 totally collapse,

00:45:13.920 as we see here.

00:45:15.100 Watch.

00:45:15.220 He is actually championing

00:45:18.480 a bill that actually

00:45:19.600 would take voting rights

00:45:21.040 away from a lot of black

00:45:22.140 people in this country.

00:45:23.140 Wait,

00:45:23.560 what,

00:45:23.700 what voting rights

00:45:24.580 is he taking away

00:45:25.460 from black voters?

00:45:27.160 Oh,

00:45:27.440 if we look at the save act,

00:45:28.340 the save act,

00:45:28.960 that's exactly what

00:45:29.840 we're talking about.

00:45:30.640 That is actually going

00:45:31.560 to continue to disenfranchise

00:45:33.180 overwhelmingly a lot

00:45:34.440 of people of color.

00:45:35.500 There are so many

00:45:36.500 civil rights organizations

00:45:37.360 that have run the data.

00:45:38.800 If we look at the way

00:45:39.620 that it is going to

00:45:40.560 disenfranchise black voters,

00:45:42.280 it's the same reason

00:45:43.060 why Chuck Schumer

00:45:43.760 called it Jim Crow 2.0.

00:45:45.400 This is the same president.

00:45:46.480 If we want to continue.

00:45:47.340 You haven't said how yet.

00:45:48.180 I am talking about it.

00:45:49.620 It's the way that you're

00:45:50.200 putting new poll taxes

00:45:51.520 on this when you're

00:45:52.600 making people have,

00:45:54.120 that's what we can

00:45:54.760 call them now.

00:45:55.800 It's kind of an idiom,

00:45:57.080 right?

00:45:57.300 If you want to say

00:45:58.460 that people have to prove

00:46:00.200 that they are citizens,

00:46:01.380 that they have to prove

00:46:02.420 with a voter ID,

00:46:04.000 the reality is

00:46:05.140 you're layering

00:46:06.020 what is a constitutional right

00:46:08.260 for the American people

00:46:09.300 and making it harder

00:46:10.200 for people to vote

00:46:11.360 in this country,

00:46:12.140 and it's going to

00:46:12.780 disenfranchise black voters.

00:46:13.960 concern you

00:46:15.100 that you're making

00:46:16.880 all these claims,

00:46:17.740 you've yet to lay out

00:46:18.660 how it's hurting anyone,

00:46:20.140 but 76% of black voters

00:46:22.440 think we should show

00:46:23.720 an ID to vote,

00:46:24.860 80% of Hispanic voters,

00:46:26.520 83% of the American people.

00:46:28.500 Are you saying

00:46:29.260 that black voters

00:46:30.180 are too dumb

00:46:31.980 to know what's good for them?

00:46:32.880 I mean, it sounds pretty

00:46:34.900 condescending to me.

00:46:36.480 You get three quarters

00:46:37.760 of black voters

00:46:38.700 who want voter IDs.

00:46:40.440 But to be clear,

00:46:41.080 the SAVE Act

00:46:41.540 is not just about IDs.

00:46:42.840 The SAVE Act

00:46:43.600 is about proof of citizenship.

00:46:45.360 So what?

00:46:49.420 I can't take it.

00:46:50.720 I don't know why

00:46:51.140 we're doing all this

00:46:51.760 in one day.

00:46:53.540 I really can't.

00:46:54.520 I can't take it.

00:46:56.260 It's an idiom.

00:46:57.220 I missed that

00:47:00.340 the first time

00:47:00.740 I saw this clip.

00:47:02.660 I somehow missed

00:47:03.680 that entirely.

00:47:04.600 She says,

00:47:05.220 oh, there's poll taxes.

00:47:06.320 What do you mean?

00:47:07.060 What are you talking?

00:47:07.820 There's no poll taxes.

00:47:09.600 Well, it's an idiom.

00:47:10.980 So that's going to be

00:47:11.680 their new excuse

00:47:12.380 when they can make a claim

00:47:13.540 that's just totally false.

00:47:15.620 They're putting poll taxes

00:47:17.060 in place.

00:47:17.640 No, we're literally not.

00:47:18.860 That's actually not

00:47:19.460 happening at all.

00:47:20.480 Well, it's just an idiom.

00:47:22.140 What do you mean idiom?

00:47:24.760 Idiot.

00:47:25.200 I know what an idiot is.

00:47:26.320 It's you.

00:47:26.680 Idiom is like

00:47:28.800 it's raining cats

00:47:29.800 and dogs out there, right?

00:47:31.720 You got to break the ice.

00:47:34.180 That's an idiom.

00:47:36.240 Now an idiom is

00:47:37.380 oh, they really got

00:47:39.120 that poll tax.

00:47:41.200 You know, I went

00:47:42.040 to the store today.

00:47:43.360 There was really a poll tax

00:47:44.420 if you know what I mean.

00:47:46.360 I don't know what you mean.

00:47:48.120 What does that idiom represent?

00:47:53.260 So the how question

00:47:54.320 is really the point here.

00:47:55.200 The fact that a majority

00:47:56.180 of black voters

00:47:57.020 you know,

00:47:58.360 he talks about

00:47:59.740 the majority

00:48:00.160 of black voters

00:48:00.840 think that voter ID

00:48:01.820 is a good idea.

00:48:04.200 And I mean,

00:48:05.200 maybe they do,

00:48:05.740 but that's irrelevant.

00:48:06.800 I understand why Scott

00:48:07.640 brings it up.

00:48:08.400 Doesn't matter.

00:48:09.100 Like if 0% of black voters

00:48:10.840 wanted voter ID,

00:48:11.800 it would still be a good idea.

00:48:13.060 If 100% of them

00:48:13.900 wanted voter ID,

00:48:14.600 it's a good idea.

00:48:15.220 It doesn't matter.

00:48:15.900 It doesn't matter

00:48:16.220 how anyone feels about it.

00:48:17.920 The real question is

00:48:18.780 how this law

00:48:19.580 will disenfranchise anyone.

00:48:20.680 And the reason

00:48:21.040 they won't answer that

00:48:21.800 is that the answer

00:48:22.460 is that the law

00:48:23.580 does not directly

00:48:24.640 disenfranchise anyone

00:48:25.760 at all,

00:48:26.060 except illegal immigrants.

00:48:27.180 It does directly

00:48:27.820 disenfranchise them

00:48:28.820 because they should be.

00:48:30.400 For everybody else,

00:48:31.460 it sets up a very simple

00:48:32.960 process that would enable

00:48:34.040 you to prove

00:48:34.840 your citizenship

00:48:35.400 to vote.

00:48:36.520 It's a process

00:48:37.140 that for most Americans

00:48:38.420 will not really require

00:48:39.820 anything.

00:48:40.100 It doesn't require you

00:48:40.760 to go out and get

00:48:41.840 any new forms of ID.

00:48:43.360 It's stuff you already

00:48:44.080 have in your house.

00:48:45.480 For some Americans

00:48:46.580 or minority,

00:48:47.480 they would have to go out

00:48:48.400 and get some of these

00:48:50.020 forms of ID,

00:48:50.700 but they could easily

00:48:51.620 do that.

00:48:52.460 And you have plenty

00:48:53.240 of time to do it

00:48:54.080 before the next election.

00:48:56.780 All that said,

00:48:58.020 I'll also say this.

00:48:59.040 It is true,

00:49:01.580 and conservatives

00:49:02.480 should admit

00:49:03.720 that it's true,

00:49:04.920 that this bill

00:49:06.300 will have

00:49:07.500 the ultimate effect

00:49:09.540 of preventing

00:49:12.060 a certain percentage

00:49:13.180 of actual American citizens

00:49:15.320 from voting.

00:49:16.940 That will,

00:49:17.400 that's not,

00:49:18.560 it won't,

00:49:19.340 it doesn't directly

00:49:20.140 do that.

00:49:20.740 That's not the intent

00:49:21.660 of the bill.

00:49:22.120 But it is true

00:49:23.600 that if you,

00:49:25.100 if this bill

00:49:25.640 is put into place,

00:49:26.560 if it actually

00:49:26.960 becomes law,

00:49:27.940 then the effect

00:49:31.880 will be

00:49:32.600 that next time

00:49:35.960 around,

00:49:36.740 fewer actual

00:49:37.800 American citizens

00:49:38.720 will end up voting.

00:49:40.440 Again,

00:49:40.940 it doesn't do it

00:49:41.400 directly,

00:49:42.060 and it's not

00:49:43.900 race-based,

00:49:44.820 it's not sexist,

00:49:45.960 so all that is a lie.

00:49:48.180 But it does set up

00:49:49.620 a process,

00:49:50.620 a really simple process

00:49:51.760 you have to follow,

00:49:52.820 and if you don't follow it,

00:49:54.620 you can't vote.

00:49:57.020 And the truth is

00:49:57.880 that a certain percentage

00:49:58.660 of Americans

00:49:59.140 will not follow

00:50:00.240 that process,

00:50:01.020 and so,

00:50:01.420 yeah,

00:50:01.960 they're not gonna,

00:50:02.500 they will not be able

00:50:03.280 to vote.

00:50:05.040 They could follow it,

00:50:06.160 so it's not,

00:50:06.960 like,

00:50:07.220 disenfranchising is

00:50:08.060 you're not allowed

00:50:08.620 to vote.

00:50:09.420 No,

00:50:09.560 you can,

00:50:10.140 you're just like,

00:50:10.620 here's the thing

00:50:11.160 that everyone is doing

00:50:11.940 in order to vote,

00:50:12.720 you can do it

00:50:13.500 or don't do it.

00:50:14.080 If you don't do it,

00:50:14.560 you can't vote.

00:50:18.260 But I see that

00:50:19.000 as a good thing.

00:50:19.700 Now,

00:50:19.840 I understand why

00:50:20.540 most Republicans

00:50:21.320 don't wanna make

00:50:22.100 this argument

00:50:22.560 in particular

00:50:23.120 politically,

00:50:24.700 but when they say

00:50:26.800 that,

00:50:27.020 oh,

00:50:27.780 the study,

00:50:28.760 this study,

00:50:29.380 the civil rights group

00:50:30.740 did a study

00:50:31.400 and it says that,

00:50:32.100 you know,

00:50:32.540 14% or whatever

00:50:33.920 of voters

00:50:34.580 will not end up voting

00:50:36.480 because this law

00:50:37.540 is in place.

00:50:37.980 When I hear that,

00:50:40.000 most Republicans hear that

00:50:40.940 and say,

00:50:41.160 oh,

00:50:41.260 that's nonsense.

00:50:41.880 I hear that,

00:50:42.700 I go,

00:50:42.980 good.

00:50:43.200 Oh,

00:50:44.080 14%,

00:50:44.600 I wish it was 40%.

00:50:45.840 Fantastic.

00:50:48.860 Okay,

00:50:49.080 because all that means

00:50:49.880 is that the people

00:50:50.560 who are too stupid

00:50:52.340 and too incompetent

00:50:53.580 and too clueless

00:50:54.620 or too lazy

00:50:56.560 to follow

00:51:00.120 this really basic process

00:51:01.420 are not able to vote

00:51:02.400 and it's good

00:51:04.020 if incompetent,

00:51:06.020 stupid,

00:51:06.560 lazy people

00:51:07.340 are not able to vote.

00:51:08.840 It's better

00:51:09.600 if they don't vote.

00:51:10.720 I'm glad they can't.

00:51:12.040 I'm happy about that.

00:51:15.780 So if we get around to,

00:51:17.620 you know,

00:51:18.140 we get around to elections

00:51:19.120 and there are Americans

00:51:20.120 that I can't vote

00:51:20.840 because of this,

00:51:21.340 my answer is good.

00:51:22.220 I'm glad you can't.

00:51:22.960 Go home.

00:51:24.340 You should not vote.

00:51:25.620 You're too stupid

00:51:26.440 and incompetent.

00:51:27.560 You shouldn't even

00:51:28.960 have the right to vote.

00:51:29.720 If it were up to me,

00:51:30.580 I would just take

00:51:31.260 the right away from you.

00:51:32.820 What I would do

00:51:33.380 if it were up to me

00:51:33.940 is every single person

00:51:34.860 who's not able to vote

00:51:35.660 because of voter ID laws,

00:51:37.020 not only can they not vote,

00:51:38.200 but now you're

00:51:38.980 never allowed to vote

00:51:40.000 because you've revealed

00:51:41.200 yourself to be

00:51:42.140 stupid,

00:51:42.820 incompetent,

00:51:43.500 foolish,

00:51:44.720 just unable to operate

00:51:46.200 as an adult in society

00:51:47.460 and so you should not

00:51:48.780 have the right to vote.

00:51:50.960 That's what I would do.

00:51:54.180 But,

00:51:55.020 I mean,

00:51:56.420 I'm not surprised

00:51:56.980 that, you know,

00:51:57.860 that's not an argument

00:51:58.560 that's being made

00:51:59.240 more widely,

00:52:01.100 but it is true.

00:52:02.320 Approximately one in three people

00:52:03.520 are deficient in C15,

00:52:05.460 a vital nutrient

00:52:06.180 which causes

00:52:06.700 cellular fragility syndrome.

00:52:08.780 When your cells

00:52:09.280 don't get enough C15,

00:52:10.540 they get weak

00:52:11.200 and age faster,

00:52:12.360 which means you age faster.

00:52:14.380 Luckily,

00:52:14.700 our sponsor,

00:52:15.340 Fatty15,

00:52:15.920 provides you the first

00:52:16.780 new essential fatty acid

00:52:18.040 in 90 years

00:52:18.840 that can really help

00:52:20.360 with this problem.

00:52:20.860 Fatty15 is pure C15

00:52:22.560 that helps repair your cells,

00:52:24.020 protects them

00:52:24.460 from breaking down,

00:52:25.580 and actually supports stuff

00:52:26.520 like sleep, metabolism,

00:52:29.320 It might sound like

00:52:30.080 typical supplement marketing,

00:52:31.840 but the science behind this

00:52:33.260 one really genuinely

00:52:34.600 checks out

00:52:35.260 and the results

00:52:36.120 actually show up.

00:52:56.880 is going to happen?

00:52:57.700 Bitcoin is sort of

00:52:58.660 inevitable at this point.

00:53:00.180 I think it would come down

00:53:01.480 to precious metals.

00:53:02.400 I hope we don't go

00:53:03.760 cashless.

00:53:04.960 I would say land

00:53:05.820 is a safe investment.

00:53:07.440 Technology, companies,

00:53:08.600 solar energy.

00:53:09.580 Robotic pollinators

00:53:10.980 might be a thing.

00:53:24.060 Daily Raw reports

00:53:24.800 with an update

00:53:25.260 on the story

00:53:25.740 we mentioned yesterday.

00:53:26.460 The 18-year-old man

00:53:27.200 who attacked

00:53:27.600 a rural Canadian school

00:53:29.500 identified as a woman

00:53:30.780 and had a history

00:53:31.300 of mental illness.

00:53:32.640 Law enforcement

00:53:33.120 confirmed on Wednesday

00:53:33.880 police identified

00:53:34.540 the man who opened fire

00:53:35.540 at Tumblr Ridge

00:53:36.220 Secondary School

00:53:36.880 killing six people

00:53:37.840 as Jesse Van Rootsalar,

00:53:41.340 Rootsalar,

00:53:43.900 I guess,

00:53:44.460 Van Rootsalar,

00:53:45.720 who was found dead

00:53:48.040 at the school,

00:53:49.020 began to quote-unquote

00:53:50.240 transition about six years ago.

00:53:52.180 And so,

00:53:54.200 this was a man

00:53:55.020 and was being

00:53:56.360 misidentified

00:53:57.240 by law enforcement

00:53:58.360 as a woman

00:53:59.100 for a day

00:54:01.000 before they finally

00:54:02.720 admitted that it was a man.

00:54:04.860 And that's all

00:54:05.580 been confirmed.

00:54:07.860 Police and media

00:54:08.700 are saying,

00:54:09.220 we don't know the motive.

00:54:10.240 No,

00:54:10.480 we'll never know.

00:54:11.520 We'll never know

00:54:12.300 why he did it.

00:54:13.880 But we know the motive

00:54:14.640 as shortly as we knew

00:54:16.560 this was going to be

00:54:17.180 a trans-identified person,

00:54:19.700 we also know the motive.

00:54:20.880 But another trans-mass shooting

00:54:23.040 added to the very long list,

00:54:24.480 a list that grows exponentially.

00:54:27.640 And we can now say

00:54:28.740 beyond a shadow of a doubt,

00:54:29.960 according to the data,

00:54:30.860 that trans-identified people

00:54:32.020 are more likely

00:54:32.820 to commit mass shootings

00:54:33.760 than any other group.

00:54:35.380 And it's not even close.

00:54:37.580 Like,

00:54:37.800 this is a real epidemic.

00:54:40.200 And we've talked about

00:54:41.200 why trans-identified people

00:54:42.460 are so likely

00:54:43.100 to commit these kinds of crimes.

00:54:44.520 We've gone into that,

00:54:45.600 you know,

00:54:45.760 divorced from reality,

00:54:46.880 self-destructive,

00:54:48.180 radicalized,

00:54:49.100 by nature of being

00:54:50.860 trans-identified,

00:54:51.980 all those things

00:54:53.060 are going to be true.

00:54:54.740 But there's another point here

00:54:55.700 because we're finding out

00:54:56.660 more about this guy,

00:54:58.520 this killer,

00:54:59.840 as all of his internet activity,

00:55:01.360 Reddit posts,

00:55:02.180 other forums he went to,

00:55:03.440 all that stuff comes out.

00:55:05.040 And it's the same story

00:55:06.480 again and again.

00:55:07.120 It's the same story

00:55:07.720 we've already seen.

00:55:08.900 The account Reddit Lies on X

00:55:10.760 has done some good work

00:55:11.680 on this,

00:55:12.460 going back to track

00:55:13.480 this guy's timeline,

00:55:14.980 you know,

00:55:15.220 through his posts

00:55:16.200 on the internet.

00:55:16.640 And apparently,

00:55:18.800 according to this account,

00:55:20.320 this guy,

00:55:22.780 killer,

00:55:23.600 first started posting

00:55:24.600 on Reddit

00:55:25.100 when he was 10.

00:55:27.940 And you can track

00:55:29.140 and see

00:55:29.720 how he went

00:55:30.440 from like a normal kid

00:55:31.780 to within a few years

00:55:33.480 through,

00:55:34.800 from posting on Reddit,

00:55:36.100 this totally deranged,

00:55:38.220 confused,

00:55:40.540 perverted

00:55:41.080 weirdo.

00:55:42.320 And this is why

00:55:44.260 I obsess over the fact

00:55:45.720 that,

00:55:46.180 and this is not entirely,

00:55:48.740 you know,

00:55:49.220 it's,

00:55:50.340 we look at why

00:55:51.460 someone does something

00:55:52.220 like this,

00:55:52.620 there's never going to be

00:55:53.240 just one answer.

00:55:54.340 It's not just like

00:55:54.920 there's one factor

00:55:56.000 that led to it.

00:55:57.680 There are a lot of factors,

00:55:59.120 but this is a major factor.

00:56:01.740 Early exposure

00:56:02.640 to the internet.

00:56:03.260 And you see that

00:56:04.000 with all these guys.

00:56:05.540 You see it with all of them.

00:56:08.020 Okay,

00:56:08.160 it's enough of a common thread

00:56:10.040 that we can look at that

00:56:11.260 and say,

00:56:11.600 and also our common sense

00:56:12.720 tells us that,

00:56:13.900 yeah.

00:56:15.260 It's why I obsess over the fact

00:56:16.720 that we cannot allow

00:56:18.120 children to have

00:56:19.140 unfettered access

00:56:20.280 to the internet

00:56:20.920 as kids.

00:56:22.200 If you as a parent

00:56:23.360 are letting your

00:56:24.240 adolescent,

00:56:25.600 pre-adolescent child

00:56:27.140 have unfettered access

00:56:29.000 to the internet,

00:56:31.260 okay,

00:56:31.560 I'm talking about

00:56:32.340 give him a phone,

00:56:33.540 he can go wherever he wants,

00:56:34.560 he has a computer,

00:56:35.240 a laptop,

00:56:35.660 whatever,

00:56:36.300 that he can go on,

00:56:37.040 he's able to go on Reddit.

00:56:38.580 Okay,

00:56:38.760 I'm not talking about

00:56:39.560 your 12-year-old wants to

00:56:40.900 look up

00:56:41.960 some fact

00:56:43.320 for school

00:56:43.940 as part of research

00:56:44.920 into a book report

00:56:46.020 or something.

00:56:46.760 We're not talking about that.

00:56:48.360 We're talking about,

00:56:49.440 you know,

00:56:50.540 able to access the internet

00:56:51.700 the way that I can

00:56:52.460 or you can,

00:56:53.000 just like I can get on the internet

00:56:54.040 anytime I want.

00:56:56.320 And parents

00:56:57.200 that allow

00:56:57.700 that kind of access

00:56:58.480 to their kids,

00:57:01.000 you're just a bad parent.

00:57:02.300 Like,

00:57:02.500 you know,

00:57:03.080 let's not sugarcoat it.

00:57:04.400 You're a bad parent,

00:57:05.500 you're guilty of

00:57:06.200 abuse and neglect.

00:57:08.380 You are an unfit parent.

00:57:10.900 I mean,

00:57:11.460 it cannot be condemned

00:57:12.720 in harsh enough terms

00:57:14.520 what an awful,

00:57:15.780 terrible parent you are.

00:57:17.140 You should feel ashamed

00:57:18.220 and embarrassed.

00:57:21.460 And I know I sound repetitive,

00:57:23.680 you know,

00:57:25.620 pounding on this point,

00:57:27.160 but what happened

00:57:29.340 to this kid

00:57:29.900 is not some kind

00:57:30.860 of anomaly.

00:57:31.540 It's not some kind

00:57:32.180 of extreme aberration

00:57:33.720 or exception to the rule.

00:57:35.180 When you let your kid

00:57:36.140 have unfettered internet access,

00:57:37.620 he will,

00:57:38.080 not might,

00:57:38.860 not might,

00:57:39.600 will,

00:57:40.140 will,

00:57:40.820 will,

00:57:42.280 almost immediately

00:57:44.640 start wandering

00:57:46.300 into the darkest corners

00:57:48.500 of human existence.

00:57:52.500 Like,

00:57:53.120 he will be exposed

00:57:53.960 to the kinds of things

00:57:55.440 that human beings,

00:57:56.560 adults,

00:57:57.820 for most of human history,

00:57:59.640 would have never encountered

00:58:00.960 in their lives.

00:58:02.340 I mean,

00:58:04.820 it only takes a kid

00:58:06.060 a couple of minutes

00:58:07.920 on Reddit

00:58:08.400 or anywhere else

00:58:10.040 to encounter things

00:58:12.820 that are so weird

00:58:13.960 and so depraved

00:58:14.960 and so dark

00:58:15.780 that up until 15 seconds ago,

00:58:19.180 most humans

00:58:20.680 through their entire,

00:58:21.660 the course of their entire life

00:58:22.980 would have never

00:58:23.520 even encountered,

00:58:24.740 like,

00:58:25.420 an image like that

00:58:26.440 or a concept like that,

00:58:27.760 an idea like that,

00:58:28.780 you know.

00:58:28.940 and now you've got kids

00:58:32.520 that are just marinating

00:58:33.340 in this stuff.

00:58:35.540 An 11-year-old boy

00:58:36.620 at the most impressionable

00:58:38.100 possible age

00:58:38.900 consuming

00:58:40.040 poison.

00:58:44.200 What do you think

00:58:45.020 will happen?

00:58:48.380 You know,

00:58:49.020 what's the win here?

00:58:50.860 I always like to ask that

00:58:51.860 for anything.

00:58:54.080 I always ask that

00:58:54.880 in a professional context.

00:58:56.680 Anything you want to,

00:58:57.320 you want to go out

00:58:57.920 and do something,

00:58:58.420 you want to take on a project,

00:58:59.380 you want anything.

00:59:00.260 What's the win?

00:59:01.560 What's the win?

00:59:03.320 All right,

00:59:03.720 because I want to win.

00:59:04.440 That's what I'm interested in doing.

00:59:05.520 So tell me the win.

00:59:07.620 Let's talk,

00:59:08.280 what's the win?

00:59:08.880 Let's compare that

00:59:09.420 to what the loss could be.

00:59:11.340 Here's how we could lose.

00:59:12.560 Here's the L

00:59:13.160 we could take on this thing.

00:59:15.020 Tell me what the win is.

00:59:15.980 And if the win is a lot bigger

00:59:16.920 than the potential L,

00:59:18.120 then let's do it.

00:59:20.800 So my question with,

00:59:21.900 you give your kid,

00:59:22.980 you give your 11-year-old boy

00:59:24.180 the internet,

00:59:24.900 go ahead,

00:59:25.500 have at it.

00:59:27.460 What's the win?

00:59:28.960 What's the win?

00:59:30.560 How do you win?

00:59:32.900 Like,

00:59:33.260 what's the upside?

00:59:35.260 How does that work out?

00:59:37.840 In what scenario

00:59:38.800 will you look back

00:59:39.720 later in life

00:59:40.260 and say,

00:59:40.560 oh,

00:59:40.720 thank God we gave him

00:59:41.640 unfettered internet access

00:59:42.680 when he was 11 years old.

00:59:43.960 Man,

00:59:44.180 thank God our nine-year-old

00:59:45.080 was able to access the internet

00:59:45.980 and go on any website

00:59:46.760 he wanted

00:59:47.200 at any time of the day.

00:59:48.320 oh,

00:59:48.600 thank God

00:59:49.120 that really worked out.

00:59:52.540 Is there like

00:59:53.140 any scenario?

00:59:56.980 No,

00:59:57.380 it's guaranteed to harm.

00:59:58.560 It's only a question

00:59:59.200 of how much harm it does.

01:00:00.900 That's the only question.

01:00:01.760 And the only answer

01:00:07.120 I ever get to this

01:00:07.940 and someone said this

01:00:08.820 to me today

01:00:09.320 when I make this point

01:00:11.540 you hear people

01:00:12.180 that say,

01:00:12.680 well,

01:00:13.800 you know,

01:00:14.000 here's my millennials

01:00:14.980 in particular.

01:00:16.920 Well,

01:00:17.300 I was accessing

01:00:18.100 the internet.

01:00:18.600 You know,

01:00:18.760 we were all accessing

01:00:19.460 the internet

01:00:19.800 at a young age

01:00:20.820 and we turned out fine.

01:00:22.100 Okay,

01:00:22.400 number one,

01:00:23.460 in what way

01:00:24.220 did we turn out fine?

01:00:25.280 In what way

01:00:25.940 can you look at

01:00:26.320 our generation

01:00:26.820 and say,

01:00:27.140 oh,

01:00:27.240 that worked out perfectly.

01:00:28.320 That worked out great.

01:00:29.820 We're doing fantastic.

01:00:32.360 By what metric

01:00:33.560 did it work out?

01:00:36.000 I love that

01:00:37.120 when you hear this

01:00:37.540 because this is why

01:00:38.400 people dismiss

01:00:38.960 any concern about anything.

01:00:40.220 They say,

01:00:40.540 well,

01:00:40.700 I turned out fine.

01:00:42.000 Yeah,

01:00:42.320 but you didn't.

01:00:43.640 It's always the most

01:00:44.700 dysfunctional losers

01:00:45.860 that say that too.

01:00:47.600 When you express

01:00:48.220 some kind of concern

01:00:48.940 about like,

01:00:49.240 I don't think

01:00:49.500 we should do this.

01:00:50.100 I don't think

01:00:50.380 we should let kids

01:00:50.840 be exposed to it.

01:00:51.680 Well,

01:00:51.820 hey,

01:00:51.980 I did and I turned out fine.

01:00:53.240 No,

01:00:53.440 you didn't.

01:00:53.820 You're a dysfunctional loser.

01:00:54.940 Your life is awful.

01:00:56.060 I look at your life

01:00:56.820 and I just thank God

01:00:57.600 it's not mine.

01:00:58.380 I mean,

01:00:58.540 I plunge into despair

01:01:02.000 just looking at your existence.

01:01:03.880 That's how depressing it is.

01:01:05.120 It did not turn out fine for you.

01:01:06.640 What are you talking about?

01:01:09.520 Oh,

01:01:09.880 man,

01:01:10.100 I've been on the internet

01:01:10.920 and looking at porn

01:01:11.900 since I was 10.

01:01:12.560 I turned out fine.

01:01:14.100 And the person saying that

01:01:15.180 has the worst life.

01:01:17.120 You could,

01:01:17.640 their life is a tragedy.

01:01:20.300 You can't even be

01:01:21.000 in the same room as them.

01:01:22.240 It's so depressing.

01:01:23.800 I turned out fine.

01:01:24.860 No,

01:01:25.100 you didn't.

01:01:26.820 And on top of that,

01:01:29.040 you know,

01:01:29.460 we did not have,

01:01:30.180 it's not the same.

01:01:31.980 I mean,

01:01:32.500 it was bad enough for us,

01:01:33.740 but

01:01:33.940 if you're a millennial,

01:01:36.600 it was not,

01:01:37.380 you didn't grow up

01:01:38.440 on the internet

01:01:38.960 from birth

01:01:40.020 the way kids do now

01:01:41.520 because it didn't,

01:01:42.160 that was not an option.

01:01:44.800 So,

01:01:45.220 if you're a millennial,

01:01:45.920 like the internet

01:01:46.480 became a household thing,

01:01:48.640 you know,

01:01:48.940 maybe when you were

01:01:49.440 in middle school,

01:01:50.300 you at least had

01:01:50.960 elementary,

01:01:51.260 you know,

01:01:51.740 elementary ages

01:01:52.920 and before

01:01:53.540 without it.

01:01:55.800 And then when it

01:01:56.540 first came online

01:01:57.820 as a sort of

01:01:58.440 household item,

01:02:00.240 it was not as,

01:02:03.660 I mean,

01:02:03.820 it could be pretty dark,

01:02:05.380 but however dark it was,

01:02:07.380 it's gotten a lot worse.

01:02:08.760 And however prevalent

01:02:09.980 all the bad stuff is,

01:02:11.220 was on the internet,

01:02:12.280 you know,

01:02:12.520 20 years ago,

01:02:13.240 25 years ago,

01:02:14.260 it's much more now.

01:02:16.560 when I first got

01:02:22.580 the internet,

01:02:23.020 like Reddit,

01:02:24.300 there was no Reddit.

01:02:26.120 That didn't even exist.

01:02:29.180 I mean,

01:02:29.400 when I first got

01:02:30.220 the internet,

01:02:30.800 we had it in our house

01:02:31.780 and there was,

01:02:32.800 there was no smartphones

01:02:33.520 so you didn't carry it

01:02:34.120 around with you.

01:02:35.100 We had it on a computer,

01:02:36.340 a desktop computer,

01:02:37.360 it was the only kind

01:02:37.660 of computers anyone had.

01:02:38.760 We had one

01:02:39.480 in the entire house.

01:02:40.940 It was in our dining room.

01:02:42.440 My parents put it

01:02:42.960 in the dining room

01:02:43.780 so it would be

01:02:44.240 in the most public place

01:02:45.720 in the house.

01:02:46.920 Totally open,

01:02:48.020 you know,

01:02:48.380 which was smart,

01:02:49.940 but,

01:02:50.340 and the internet was,

01:02:51.840 you went on,

01:02:52.340 it was like AOL

01:02:53.060 and there was like,

01:02:54.520 the whole internet

01:02:55.480 was comprised of

01:02:56.900 like 10 channels

01:02:59.360 that you could,

01:03:00.020 you get a welcome screen

01:03:01.060 and there's 10

01:03:02.180 that you could click.

01:03:03.240 It's like entertainment,

01:03:04.840 message board,

01:03:06.720 whatever,

01:03:07.300 sports,

01:03:08.000 and you just click

01:03:08.940 and that was the whole internet.

01:03:09.820 That's all the internet was,

01:03:10.640 it was the whole thing.

01:03:13.660 And you have the millennials

01:03:14.620 that compare that.

01:03:15.440 So you had that

01:03:16.180 when you were 14

01:03:17.200 and that is analogous

01:03:19.560 to a nine-year-old

01:03:20.440 going on Reddit today.

01:03:21.520 What kind of

01:03:22.160 freaking moron are you?

01:03:25.380 Oh,

01:03:25.560 you didn't turn out well.

01:03:26.600 I mean,

01:03:26.800 you're brain dead.

01:03:28.320 What are you talking about?

01:03:29.260 We've seen plenty of clips

01:03:33.400 of American Olympic athletes

01:03:34.760 humiliating themselves

01:03:35.820 in the world stage

01:03:36.620 by whining about ice,

01:03:37.920 but I think it's time

01:03:39.000 that we,

01:03:39.940 and maybe this is a

01:03:40.720 positive way to,

01:03:43.060 as positive as we're going to get,

01:03:44.640 to see a foreigner

01:03:46.020 humiliate himself.

01:03:47.140 That's,

01:03:47.500 that's better.

01:03:48.180 That'll make us feel better.

01:03:50.080 So here's a,

01:03:50.900 this is a pretty

01:03:51.380 kind of bizarre story.

01:03:53.000 I don't know if you saw this.

01:03:54.040 There's a Norwegian

01:03:54.960 biathlon athlete

01:03:56.480 by the name of

01:03:58.320 Sterla Holm Ligrid

01:04:00.580 and was interviewed

01:04:02.660 after winning bronze.

01:04:05.220 And now if you're listening

01:04:06.180 to the audio podcast,

01:04:07.180 you're not going to understand

01:04:07.740 the clip

01:04:08.120 because he's speaking

01:04:08.960 in Norwegian

01:04:09.800 unless you're one of our

01:04:11.020 millions of,

01:04:11.640 millions of Norwegian

01:04:13.020 listeners.

01:04:16.260 But if you're not that,

01:04:17.380 then you're not going to say,

01:04:17.880 so we'll play this

01:04:18.500 and then we'll come back

01:04:19.320 and I'll summarize

01:04:20.460 what was said

01:04:22.060 in this clip.

01:04:22.540 Go ahead.

01:04:24.240 And then it's the one

01:04:24.960 I wanted to share with

01:04:25.800 which I may not see on today.

01:04:31.640 For a half years ago

01:04:32.720 I met my life's love

01:04:34.060 and the most beautiful person

01:04:37.160 and for three months

01:04:40.540 I was with my biggest

01:04:41.880 tabby and was

01:04:42.500 in the room for her.

01:04:45.000 I told you

01:04:45.780 that I had a few weeks

01:04:46.180 since.

01:04:49.320 And it was the worst

01:04:51.020 weeks of my life.

01:04:54.760 So I had a gold medal

01:04:56.360 in my life.

01:04:59.160 There were probably

01:04:59.840 just many of them

01:05:00.540 who had seen me

01:05:01.460 with other eyes.

01:05:03.000 But I only had eyes

01:05:04.120 for her.

01:05:06.580 I don't know

01:05:07.220 what I would say

01:05:07.920 about her now.

01:05:11.380 Alright, so Sterla

01:05:12.840 says that all you can

01:05:14.520 think about during this

01:05:15.520 week at the Olympics

01:05:16.400 is the love of his life.

01:05:19.320 who recently left him.

01:05:22.520 But the key facts

01:05:23.520 to know here

01:05:24.280 and he's crying

01:05:24.940 and you can hear that

01:05:25.580 even if you don't

01:05:25.920 understand what he's saying.

01:05:26.660 You can hear him crying.

01:05:27.440 He's crying.

01:05:29.140 Talking about his love

01:05:29.980 of his life left him.

01:05:31.980 Key facts to know

01:05:32.600 are number one

01:05:33.380 that he cheated on her

01:05:34.540 and he admits that

01:05:35.380 on television.

01:05:37.580 Confessed it on live TV

01:05:38.600 to the entire world

01:05:39.520 that he cheated on her.

01:05:41.260 And number two

01:05:41.740 he's known her

01:05:42.540 for six months.

01:05:44.700 So they met

01:05:45.540 six months ago.

01:05:46.780 Three months later

01:05:47.600 he cheated on her.

01:05:48.540 This is not relevant

01:05:50.600 to any of our lives

01:05:51.260 but you

01:05:51.840 I mean he said it

01:05:52.720 like you said it publicly

01:05:53.740 so now we all know.

01:05:54.880 I mean so

01:05:55.420 there it is.

01:05:58.260 So he was able

01:05:58.940 he stayed faithful

01:06:00.060 I'm giving him some credit

01:06:00.820 he stayed faithful

01:06:01.440 for three entire months.

01:06:04.360 Give him some credit

01:06:04.980 for that.

01:06:05.540 That's

01:06:05.680 that's 12 weeks

01:06:08.680 of faithfulness

01:06:09.400 and fidelity

01:06:09.880 that he was able

01:06:11.300 to muster.

01:06:12.740 And then he cheated

01:06:13.580 on her

01:06:13.940 and now he's crying

01:06:15.440 on TV

01:06:15.900 saying that he misses her.

01:06:16.900 So this is really

01:06:19.040 impressive levels

01:06:19.920 of emotional manipulation

01:06:21.200 going on here.

01:06:22.860 And he's trying

01:06:24.060 to obviously manipulate

01:06:25.120 this poor woman

01:06:26.480 into coming back

01:06:28.100 to him

01:06:28.400 by crying on camera

01:06:29.540 and by essentially

01:06:30.620 blaming her

01:06:31.460 for the fact

01:06:32.140 that he's not having

01:06:33.020 a good time

01:06:33.500 at the Olympics.

01:06:34.320 That's what he's

01:06:34.800 actually doing.

01:06:35.960 It's supposed to be

01:06:36.380 the best week of my life.

01:06:38.040 I'm at the Olympics

01:06:38.600 but I can't enjoy it

01:06:40.140 because my girlfriend

01:06:41.380 broke up with me.

01:06:42.360 And shockingly

01:06:45.420 the strategy

01:06:46.080 did not pay off.

01:06:46.960 So apparently

01:06:47.360 the Norwegian media

01:06:48.740 tracked down

01:06:49.700 this

01:06:50.680 this

01:06:51.780 long-suffering

01:06:52.880 ex-girlfriend

01:06:53.520 or short-suffering

01:06:54.360 as the case may be

01:06:55.100 and she said

01:06:56.260 that she was

01:06:56.780 she was actually

01:06:57.580 she was pretty angry

01:06:58.300 about all this

01:06:59.000 understandably so

01:07:00.160 and she's not interested

01:07:01.180 she wanted nothing

01:07:01.840 to do with the guy anymore.

01:07:03.740 First the guy

01:07:04.500 cheats on you

01:07:05.260 and then he emotionally

01:07:06.900 blackmails you

01:07:08.060 in front of

01:07:08.920 hundreds of millions

01:07:09.900 of people.

01:07:10.460 So a real winner

01:07:12.360 this guy

01:07:12.820 and she's not interested

01:07:15.180 in getting back to him

01:07:15.800 the gamut did not pay off.

01:07:17.640 I will say two things

01:07:18.500 in an effort

01:07:20.440 to offer some advice

01:07:21.540 to our friend Sterla

01:07:22.400 not that he'll ever

01:07:23.360 see this video

01:07:23.920 or be able to understand it

01:07:25.280 because he doesn't

01:07:25.700 speak English

01:07:26.120 but first of all

01:07:27.860 you were dating

01:07:28.460 for six months

01:07:29.180 so you're fine

01:07:31.340 get over yourself.

01:07:33.880 When I first heard

01:07:34.460 when I first saw the video

01:07:35.920 and he's crying

01:07:36.540 and you see

01:07:37.020 reading the captions

01:07:37.860 I lost the love

01:07:39.300 of my life

01:07:39.880 I was about to

01:07:41.020 feel bad for him

01:07:41.800 because I thought

01:07:42.140 he was going to say

01:07:42.620 oh my wife died

01:07:43.700 but then it's like

01:07:45.960 no she left

01:07:46.760 and oh it was my girlfriend

01:07:48.120 that I was dating

01:07:49.280 for six months

01:07:50.720 you're fine

01:07:51.720 you're fine

01:07:52.380 like you're fine

01:07:53.900 and you're

01:07:54.420 I know when you're younger

01:07:55.640 when you're a young man

01:07:56.560 and you have never

01:07:57.880 been married

01:07:58.400 and you're dating someone

01:08:00.420 and you've been dating them

01:08:01.320 for five and a half hours

01:08:02.740 and you feel like

01:08:03.700 you know

01:08:05.000 this is some sort

01:08:06.380 of epic

01:08:06.820 love story

01:08:08.560 and I understand

01:08:10.920 that when you're young

01:08:11.660 but this guy's almost 30

01:08:12.760 I think

01:08:13.080 I think he's like 30

01:08:13.780 close to it

01:08:14.440 you'll be fine

01:08:16.200 and second

01:08:17.560 more importantly

01:08:18.200 there is no scenario

01:08:20.200 no scenario

01:08:22.480 where you're going to win

01:08:24.000 a woman's affections

01:08:25.080 by crying

01:08:25.780 because the most

01:08:27.160 you could ever hope

01:08:27.880 to achieve

01:08:28.540 is pity

01:08:29.360 and you're not even

01:08:31.300 going to get

01:08:31.580 you won't get that

01:08:32.400 in this case

01:08:32.960 but even if you did

01:08:34.880 you have to understand

01:08:36.140 that the pity part

01:08:37.360 of a woman's brain

01:08:38.880 and the romantically

01:08:40.740 attracted part

01:08:41.720 of her brain

01:08:42.460 are on opposite sides

01:08:44.400 I mean not neurologically

01:08:45.840 don't take this as

01:08:46.680 any kind of

01:08:47.220 neurological analysis

01:08:48.260 that's not exactly

01:08:49.160 how it works

01:08:49.600 but metaphorically

01:08:51.000 metaphorically

01:08:52.300 the pity part

01:08:53.240 and the romantically

01:08:54.160 attracted part

01:08:54.900 are on two

01:08:55.720 these are two

01:08:57.120 different sides

01:08:58.400 of the world

01:08:59.000 a woman is not

01:09:02.180 going to become

01:09:02.460 romantically attracted

01:09:03.460 to someone

01:09:04.020 that she finds

01:09:05.380 pitiful

01:09:06.400 like you're better

01:09:08.020 he would

01:09:08.380 if you're going to

01:09:09.200 try to manipulate her

01:09:10.340 into which you

01:09:11.420 shouldn't

01:09:11.940 that's bad

01:09:13.140 but you'd be

01:09:14.600 better off

01:09:15.400 if you had gone

01:09:16.400 on TV

01:09:16.940 after your big win

01:09:18.260 and said

01:09:19.320 hell yeah

01:09:19.720 this is the greatest

01:09:20.260 day of my life

01:09:21.060 I could not be happier

01:09:22.760 I have never been happier

01:09:23.820 than I am right now

01:09:26.680 I can't wait to go

01:09:27.700 party with all these

01:09:28.300 beautiful women

01:09:28.900 here at the Olympics

01:09:29.660 that would be

01:09:31.660 more likely

01:09:32.520 to rekindle

01:09:33.580 the girl's interest

01:09:34.400 in you

01:09:34.800 than

01:09:35.140 you know

01:09:36.200 crying and whining

01:09:37.020 and talking about

01:09:38.220 how sorry you are

01:09:39.040 and I know

01:09:40.320 it sounds harsh

01:09:40.880 every time I say this

01:09:41.820 and

01:09:42.280 maybe some guys

01:09:43.880 think I'm trying

01:09:44.520 to sound macho

01:09:45.200 or whatever

01:09:45.540 but I'm not

01:09:46.420 I mean it's just true

01:09:47.200 like it's not

01:09:48.020 nothing to do with

01:09:49.500 it doesn't matter

01:09:52.360 how you feel about me

01:09:53.040 I'm just like

01:09:53.460 this is just a fact

01:09:54.500 of psychology

01:09:55.580 that you should

01:09:57.500 never cry

01:09:58.120 in front of a woman

01:09:58.900 especially not on TV

01:10:00.800 in front of a global audience

01:10:02.120 under those circumstances

01:10:03.900 but in general

01:10:05.440 also

01:10:05.940 you should never do it

01:10:07.760 rare exceptions

01:10:10.100 for serious tragedies

01:10:11.980 but outside that

01:10:13.000 outside of the kind of

01:10:14.140 horrific situation

01:10:15.180 that would hopefully

01:10:16.440 only happen

01:10:17.260 a few times in your life

01:10:18.540 if at all

01:10:19.120 you should not cry

01:10:20.820 in front of a woman

01:10:21.800 and really the reason

01:10:24.200 that you shouldn't

01:10:25.200 is

01:10:26.500 it's really

01:10:26.920 it's the same reason

01:10:28.040 that you shouldn't

01:10:29.320 cry in front of your kids

01:10:30.560 right

01:10:32.460 and that's not to say

01:10:33.160 that your wife is a child

01:10:34.260 but

01:10:34.560 it's a similar reason

01:10:36.160 and I think

01:10:37.280 it's easier for people

01:10:38.460 anytime this conversation

01:10:39.220 comes up

01:10:39.580 it's like easier

01:10:40.140 for people to understand

01:10:41.100 and accept

01:10:41.600 because I know

01:10:42.420 everyone wants to say

01:10:43.440 well

01:10:43.820 hey we're an enlightened age

01:10:46.840 and men can be

01:10:47.680 sensitive

01:10:48.100 and

01:10:48.580 they should be able

01:10:50.700 to express their feelings

01:10:51.500 and all that

01:10:51.840 people want to say that

01:10:53.140 no one really believes it

01:10:55.400 and it doesn't work

01:10:57.160 in practice

01:10:57.800 but when you apply it

01:10:59.500 to kids

01:10:59.960 I think everyone

01:11:00.780 sees it intuitively

01:11:02.760 like even someone

01:11:05.320 who's all about

01:11:06.460 say oh

01:11:06.980 men should be able

01:11:07.880 to express their feelings

01:11:08.840 even they

01:11:09.780 if you were to ask them

01:11:10.800 yeah

01:11:10.960 but should a father

01:11:12.020 cry in front of his kids

01:11:13.440 I think everyone

01:11:16.620 knows

01:11:17.200 well no

01:11:17.520 you wouldn't do that

01:11:18.300 for a father

01:11:20.180 to break down

01:11:20.840 in tears

01:11:21.240 and start sobbing

01:11:22.100 in front of a child

01:11:23.060 again

01:11:24.100 aside from like

01:11:24.880 extreme extreme

01:11:25.700 scenarios

01:11:27.020 but for a father

01:11:29.740 to break down

01:11:30.220 in tears

01:11:30.460 and sob in front

01:11:31.060 of a child

01:11:31.520 is selfish

01:11:32.920 it's weak

01:11:33.580 it's just like

01:11:34.340 it's totally

01:11:34.900 upside down

01:11:35.540 and backwards

01:11:35.960 because what is

01:11:37.680 the child

01:11:38.180 supposed to do

01:11:39.120 you know

01:11:41.280 you're unloading

01:11:42.200 your feelings

01:11:43.280 what do you want

01:11:44.700 the kid to do

01:11:46.180 comfort you

01:11:46.980 console you

01:11:47.760 expecting comfort

01:11:49.760 and consolation

01:11:50.400 from your own

01:11:50.840 child

01:11:51.180 is ridiculous

01:11:52.000 and wrong

01:11:52.640 your responsibility

01:11:54.940 with your children

01:11:55.780 is to be the one

01:11:56.960 comforting

01:11:58.040 and consoling them

01:11:58.660 you're supposed

01:11:59.060 to be the one

01:11:59.540 in control

01:12:00.080 the one who is

01:12:00.660 composed

01:12:01.040 the one who

01:12:01.500 has the situation

01:12:02.660 you know

01:12:03.540 everything's fine

01:12:04.400 I got this

01:12:05.060 that's supposed

01:12:05.480 to be you

01:12:05.920 that's the job

01:12:07.060 that's the gig

01:12:08.280 and you can say

01:12:10.840 what you have to be

01:12:11.340 like that all the time

01:12:12.140 yeah

01:12:12.680 yes

01:12:14.340 that's

01:12:15.660 that's it

01:12:16.360 all the time

01:12:17.900 and if you

01:12:21.380 if you don't have

01:12:21.960 things under control

01:12:22.740 and if you're

01:12:23.300 freaking out

01:12:23.760 you're panicked

01:12:24.300 whatever

01:12:24.620 go somewhere

01:12:25.740 where no one

01:12:26.440 can see you

01:12:27.040 but your kids

01:12:28.920 should never see it

01:12:29.660 doesn't matter

01:12:30.940 how high

01:12:31.460 stress the situation

01:12:32.460 is

01:12:32.680 how high pressure

01:12:33.380 you're worried

01:12:34.240 whatever

01:12:34.700 doesn't matter

01:12:35.520 as far as the kids

01:12:37.240 are concerned

01:12:37.680 everything's fine

01:12:38.500 you got it

01:12:39.460 they can cry

01:12:40.620 all they want

01:12:41.120 but not you

01:12:41.740 that's

01:12:42.600 that's the way

01:12:43.040 it goes

01:12:43.320 and it's

01:12:44.680 it's

01:12:45.020 it's the same

01:12:45.700 thing with

01:12:46.440 crying in front

01:12:47.040 of you know

01:12:47.540 a woman

01:12:48.240 for a similar

01:12:50.360 situation

01:12:50.920 that you know

01:12:53.660 they're looking

01:12:54.120 to you for

01:12:54.600 protection

01:12:55.080 for safety

01:12:55.680 for security

01:12:56.600 all of those

01:12:59.080 things

01:12:59.420 and crying

01:13:00.160 losing control

01:13:00.820 of your emotions

01:13:01.420 expecting to be

01:13:02.120 consoled

01:13:02.680 and comforted

01:13:03.640 flips that

01:13:05.240 on its head

01:13:05.800 you know

01:13:07.840 it's just

01:13:08.120 it's just

01:13:08.480 that's not

01:13:09.000 what a woman

01:13:09.380 is looking

01:13:09.780 for

01:13:10.160 in a man

01:13:10.840 it's

01:13:13.760 and just

01:13:14.620 like a man

01:13:15.260 we're not

01:13:15.560 looking for

01:13:16.000 masculine qualities

01:13:16.760 in a woman

01:13:17.100 so a woman

01:13:20.100 who's aggressive

01:13:20.660 and bossy

01:13:21.320 and all those

01:13:21.680 kinds of things

01:13:22.260 it's like

01:13:22.520 that's always

01:13:23.360 unappealing

01:13:24.120 that's always

01:13:25.220 revolting

01:13:26.000 because that's

01:13:27.440 not

01:13:27.800 that's just

01:13:28.180 as a man

01:13:28.820 that's not

01:13:29.260 that's

01:13:29.620 that's

01:13:30.620 that's not

01:13:30.880 what I'm

01:13:31.060 looking for

01:13:31.680 like that's

01:13:33.260 not why

01:13:33.480 this relationship

01:13:34.060 exists

01:13:34.620 I don't need

01:13:36.340 that out of you

01:13:36.960 so bad idea

01:13:40.580 but hey

01:13:44.500 he won bronze

01:13:45.140 so

01:13:45.880 and he only won

01:13:48.040 bronze on top

01:13:48.780 of that

01:13:49.040 on top of

01:13:49.780 everything else

01:13:50.620 he only won

01:13:52.060 bronze in the Olympics

01:13:52.900 that's the most

01:13:53.480 embarrassing thing

01:13:54.180 if I were there

01:13:57.300 it would have been

01:13:57.660 gold

01:13:57.920 you know

01:13:58.520 easily

01:13:58.900 all right

01:14:11.220 have a great day

01:14:12.520 great weekend

01:14:13.580 Godspeed

01:14:14.060 they told you

01:14:21.480 America invented

01:14:22.420 slavery

01:14:22.860 they told you

01:14:25.160 the Indians

01:14:25.600 were peaceful

01:14:26.120 they told you

01:14:28.600 colonialism

01:14:29.060 was evil

01:14:29.840 and that

01:14:30.240 Joseph McCarthy

01:14:31.200 was a bad guy

01:14:32.040 and guess what

01:14:33.560 they lied

01:14:34.820 for half a century

01:14:36.500 generations

01:14:37.060 of American

01:14:37.520 school children

01:14:38.100 have been taught

01:14:38.900 to hate our history

01:14:39.800 hate our country

01:14:41.140 and hate themselves

01:14:42.280 time to set

01:14:43.720 the record straight

01:14:44.380 and since no one

01:14:45.580 else is going to do

01:14:46.360 it I will

01:14:47.680 who sold us

01:14:49.000 to slaves

01:14:49.460 what were India

01:14:50.940 and Africa like

01:14:51.680 before Europeans

01:14:52.440 arrived

01:14:52.860 what caused

01:14:54.000 white flight

01:14:54.660 some of the most

01:14:55.760 well-known stories

01:14:56.520 from American history

01:14:57.160 are designed

01:14:58.140 to demoralize you

01:14:59.040 the trail of tears

01:15:00.060 the smallpox

01:15:01.040 blanket smith

01:15:01.760 the red scare

01:15:02.620 it's all baseless

01:15:03.900 it's time for a lesson

01:15:05.640 on what they're not

01:15:06.780 teaching in public schools

01:15:07.940 on the real history

01:15:09.220 of slavery

01:15:09.700 of colonialism

01:15:10.760 of the Indians

01:15:12.060 of America
