00:00:11.000 I would say land is a safe investment.

00:00:13.000 Technology companies.

00:00:15.000 Solar energy.

00:00:16.000 Robotic pollinators might be a thing.

00:00:18.000 A wrestler to face a robot?

00:00:20.000 That will have to happen.

00:00:30.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, chaos erupts south of the border

00:00:33.000 as Mexico descends further into anarchy and violence.

00:00:36.000 What, if anything, should the United States do about all this

00:00:38.000 to protect its own citizens?

00:00:39.000 Also, Gavin Newsom says that Democrats need to be

00:00:42.000 more culturally normal, quote-unquote,

00:00:44.000 but is that even fundamentally possible for the modern Democrat Party?

00:00:48.000 And the education system has spent many billions of dollars

00:00:50.000 replacing books with screens for students.

00:00:53.000 The results are in, and they are catastrophic.

00:00:56.000 All that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:00.000 There are a lot of different ways to make the point that securing the border

00:01:26.000 border is the single most important goal that the United States can pursue at the moment.

00:01:30.000 You can point to the horrific crimes that are committed by illegal aliens.

00:01:34.000 You can talk about the crowded job market, or welfare programs that are being overloaded,

00:01:38.000 or the fact that housing becomes much more expensive when tens of millions of new residents move into the country.

00:01:44.000 This is all very important and very familiar territory, but in the wake of the cartel violence that's unfolding throughout Mexico,

00:01:51.000 there's a new way to illustrate just how important our border is and how volatile our hemisphere has become.

00:01:59.000 So take a look at this graphic. It's from a map on the official website of the U.S. State Department.

00:02:05.000 So check me on this. If you pull up the State Department website right now, you can see it for yourself.

00:02:10.000 But there's the image, and the map shows a portion of the southern United States bordering the Gulf of America, as we call it now, along with several states in Mexico.

00:02:21.000 And as you can see, the Mexican states are shaded with various colors. Directly bordering Texas, the Mexican state of Tamalapas, probably mispronouncing that, is shaded in a very deep red.

00:02:34.000 And that deep shade of red is a level four travel advisory, which is the highest level that the State Department is able to give any country.

00:02:44.000 Now, just to be clear about the significance of a level four designation, it means that you should not travel to this particular location under any circumstances for any reason.

00:02:53.640 And if you decide to travel to a level four location anyway, the State Department advises that you, quote, consider hiring a professional security organization,

00:03:02.300 prepare a will and designate appropriate insurance beneficiaries and power of attorney and also develop a, quote, communication plan that should, quote,

00:03:10.400 include a proof of life protocol with loved ones so that if you're taken hostage, detained, and or tortured, your loved ones will know specific questions and answers to ask the hostage takers to confirm that you're still alive.

00:03:23.360 Other level four countries include such wonderful locations as Venezuela, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Russia, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen.

00:03:34.900 That's the status of a Mexican state that sits directly on the Texas border.

00:03:40.400 Now, you may not have heard about this because no one in our government has really mentioned it, but it's true.

00:03:45.720 According to our State Department, the United States of America borders a state that is as dangerous as a war zone filled with jihadis.

00:03:55.700 This level four no-go zone is not located thousands of miles away in the Middle East.

00:04:01.660 There's no ocean separating us.

00:04:03.540 The narco-terrorists in this Mexican state are seconds away from entering the country via Brownsville or Laredo.

00:04:13.280 Many of them, of course, have done that.

00:04:15.560 They've entered the country.

00:04:17.300 And now that Mexico has descended into open warfare over the killing of El Mencho, the head of one of Mexico's most powerful cartels,

00:04:23.720 the risk is greater right now than it's been at any point in recent history.

00:04:28.100 Dozens of Mexican police and National Guardsmen are dead.

00:04:32.280 Stores are being looted and set on fire.

00:04:36.240 And what's significant about the latest bloodshed in Mexico is that historically, cartels have avoided direct attacks on tourist destinations.

00:04:45.960 Tourism is central to Mexico's economy.

00:04:48.000 It accounts for around 10% of their GDP.

00:04:50.740 It employs millions of people.

00:04:52.920 Cartels would lose a lot of money and a lot of domestic popularity if they made it unsafe for foreigners to travel to Mexico on vacation.

00:04:59.760 So there's been a tendency generally for cartels to stay away from the golden goose and kind of leave the foreign travelers alone for the most part.

00:05:10.780 Well, that's all changing now because the cartels are killing people and torching vehicles.

00:05:16.000 Because tourists in Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara are being forced to shelter in place.

00:05:23.060 Their flights are being canceled.

00:05:25.860 Cabs won't pick them up.

00:05:28.220 Military helicopters are buzzing around their resorts.

00:05:32.400 Watch.

00:05:32.480 They're saying the taxis are operating at this time.

00:05:37.100 We did see two of them and they said, no, this is our work vehicle.

00:05:41.500 So we can't use them.

00:05:43.060 Ubers are not working.

00:05:44.280 The buses that we normally use as well.

00:05:46.880 You don't see them at this point.

00:05:48.400 But there's still blockages.

00:05:49.840 There's still burnt buses and burnt cars in certain areas like in the road right down here, about a three-minute walk down here.

00:05:58.600 There's still cars and buses incinerated on the road.

00:06:05.760 I got stuck right there before they lit the truck on fire.

00:06:10.720 What are the fire trucks?

00:06:12.820 It's like just a beautiful day in Puerto Vallarta.

00:06:18.980 I got stuck right there.

00:06:48.960 and confirmed lifetime reservations who are currently staying in Mexican resorts that are rapidly running out of food and availability.

00:06:56.040 This is a post from the Marriott subreddit.

00:06:59.880 And here's what it says.

00:07:01.060 It says, quote, Weston, Puerto Vallarta won't honor late checkout with streets closed.

00:07:07.820 I am platinum elite with over a thousand lifetime Marriott nights.

00:07:12.300 City's on fire due to cartel setting cars and buses on fire all over the city.

00:07:17.340 The airport is closed and Ubers and taxis are not running.

00:07:20.960 I asked for a 4 p.m. checkout, which I'm entitled to based on availability.

00:07:24.960 They won't extend past 2 p.m. and said we would have to use the hospitality suite.

00:07:30.140 We're supposed to be leaving this afternoon, but this isn't looking very good.

00:07:34.900 Worst Bonvoy property I have ever experienced.

00:07:37.660 I don't think anyone will be checking in today, so there's no reason not to at least extend us to 4 p.m.

00:07:44.700 Now, I had to check to confirm that that was real, and indeed it is.

00:07:49.240 Most of the posts in the Marriott subreddit sound the same.

00:07:53.020 One person responded with this, quote,

00:07:54.760 Now, it's easy to kind of mock these posts, but the reality is that this sentiment is extremely bad

00:08:20.140 for Mexico's economy.

00:08:21.820 Well-off entitled morons are the backbone of any tourism industry.

00:08:26.980 They're the ones who spend unreasonable amounts of money when they go on vacation,

00:08:30.540 and Mexico is supposed to host the World Cup in, what, four months?

00:08:36.380 So many, many more tourists are about to stream in.

00:08:40.100 The fact that the cartels no longer care about this revenue is a sign that our southern border

00:08:44.460 has just become much more dangerous than it already was, and much less stable.

00:08:48.900 And it was already very unstable and very dangerous.

00:08:52.100 Just a year ago, Canadian politicians and outlets were encouraging people

00:08:55.040 to vacation in Mexico instead of Florida.

00:08:57.940 Supposedly, it was a way to, you know, get back at Trump.

00:09:01.960 And, you know, you can see the headlines right there.

00:09:03.900 One of them reads,

00:09:05.240 Why Canadians Should Go to Mexico Instead of Florida.

00:09:08.140 Another headline from the Canadian state broadcaster CBC says,

00:09:10.960 More Canadians Head to Mexico for Winter Getaways, Vacation Travel to U.S. Down,

00:09:15.960 as Canadian tourists make strategic decisions on where to spend time and money.

00:09:22.480 CBC also ran this story, which is in the running for Worst Aged Segments

00:09:26.460 in all of television news history.

00:09:30.420 There was a lot of competition for that title.

00:09:32.500 This is from last year. Watch.

00:09:35.380 Charles Burt and Marilee Mallard are getting advice from their travel agents

00:09:39.340 on where to travel this winter.

00:09:41.960 So, have you guys decided on where you would like to go?

00:09:46.100 Well, on the bucket list is Puerto Vallarta.

00:09:50.180 The Manitoba couple usually spends weeks or even months

00:09:53.580 at a trailer park in Westlaco, Texas.

00:09:55.960 But not this year.

00:09:57.980 Since the election of Trump and the insults that he placed on our country,

00:10:03.080 50 first aid and all of that garbage,

00:10:04.860 we decided that, no, we're not going to spend money down there.

00:10:11.620 They're not the only ones making that decision.

00:10:14.400 According to the Mexican Ministry of Tourism,

00:10:16.640 the number of Canadians flying to Mexico increased by 11.3%

00:10:21.620 between January and September compared to the year before.

00:10:24.940 An increase of almost 200,000 tourists.

00:10:30.800 So, they don't want to spend money in Texas or Florida

00:10:33.240 because Donald Trump wrote some mean tweets.

00:10:35.700 And now they're hunkering down in their resorts,

00:10:39.020 hoping that they don't get murdered.

00:10:41.180 These are the kinds of videos Canadians are currently uploading

00:10:43.940 from their vacations,

00:10:45.040 which really hit Donald Trump where it hurts, I guess.

00:10:49.700 Watch.

00:10:50.000 So, I don't know if you can see that,

00:10:54.160 but I can see the flames underneath that black smoke.

00:10:59.480 Major flames there.

00:11:01.820 Huge plumes everywhere.

00:11:04.400 Another big one over there.

00:11:07.780 Another one directly behind this resort we're staying at.

00:11:13.040 Pretty much surrounded by this right now.

00:11:15.720 Really intense scene happening here in Puerto Vallarta.

00:11:21.020 Hopefully, we're able to get out tomorrow,

00:11:22.620 but the airports are shut down as it is right now.

00:11:24.920 Down in the lobby, how many of you have been dancing?

00:11:27.880 Can you tell them?

00:11:29.060 Can you tell them here?

00:11:34.720 Oh, my God.

00:11:35.000 What's up here?

00:11:35.960 Oh, my God.

00:11:45.720 It's probably not surprising that at the moment,

00:11:52.860 no one in Canada's government actually seems to care

00:11:55.320 about the Canadians who are now trapped in Mexico.

00:11:59.240 They aren't getting regular updates from the Canadian government.

00:12:02.560 And meanwhile, a member of Canada's parliament named Heather McPherson,

00:12:06.400 who is currently running to lead one of Canada's major parties,

00:12:09.940 put out this message, quote,

00:12:11.600 So, needless to say, you know,

00:12:29.580 that doesn't help the tourism industry either.

00:12:31.440 Prominent politicians are publicly declaring

00:12:34.020 that Puerto Vallarta is where the gay Canadians go.

00:12:38.120 And at the moment, all of those gay Canadian tourists

00:12:41.020 have to deal with the Mexican cartels,

00:12:43.660 which, among other things,

00:12:45.600 the Mexican cartels are known, I'm told,

00:12:47.840 for misgendering everyone in their path.

00:12:50.240 But for her part, the president of Mexico,

00:12:53.520 Claudia Scheinbaum-Pardo,

00:12:55.580 does seem to be taking the cartel seriously.

00:12:59.160 And that's a surprise because,

00:13:01.060 and a change of pace,

00:13:02.760 because just a couple of months ago,

00:13:03.960 she declared that it would be unlawful

00:13:06.000 to wage war on the cartels

00:13:08.160 because they're entitled to due process

00:13:10.280 and civil liberties.

00:13:11.720 Watch.

00:13:13.600 Regresar a la guerra contra el narco no es opción.

00:13:17.420 No es opción.

00:13:20.140 Primero, porque está fuera del marco de la ley.

00:13:23.840 Todos estos de la derecha que se llenan la boca

00:13:26.280 de la palabra, o las palabras,

00:13:28.440 Estado de derecho,

00:13:30.340 y defienden la guerra contra el narco.

00:13:33.720 So we'll cut it off there

00:13:37.480 for the benefit of anybody listening

00:13:38.660 to the audio podcast,

00:13:39.640 but the gist was that the Mexican government

00:13:41.400 is going to respect the legal process

00:13:43.400 and treat the cartels like criminals

00:13:46.180 rather than enemy combatants.

00:13:47.640 She says,

00:13:48.060 returning to the war against the narco

00:13:50.140 is not an option,

00:13:51.240 first because it is outside the framework

00:13:53.120 of the law.

00:13:55.580 There's no need to belabor

00:13:56.780 how absurd this reasoning is.

00:13:59.040 I think we all kind of get it.

00:14:00.660 Cartels of Mexico have better weaponry

00:14:03.960 and technology than the Mexican military.

00:14:06.420 As you can see here,

00:14:07.900 they're equipped like the special forces.

00:14:10.920 Those are the cartels right there.

00:14:13.080 They routinely murder politicians,

00:14:15.340 law enforcement, civilians.

00:14:17.600 If Mexico's government is committed

00:14:18.940 to treating these narco terrorists

00:14:20.420 like common criminals,

00:14:22.560 then they're not going to last very long.

00:14:25.040 That is, the Mexican government

00:14:26.000 is not going to last very long.

00:14:26.840 And millions of Americans,

00:14:27.860 particularly Americans living near the border,

00:14:30.300 will suffer the consequences.

00:14:32.880 Frankly, the only way

00:14:33.820 that the Mexican president could disagree

00:14:35.920 is if she's owned by the cartels.

00:14:38.040 Apparently, though,

00:14:38.600 the Mexican government

00:14:39.260 has changed its strategy,

00:14:40.940 at least to some degree,

00:14:42.720 because it had no choice.

00:14:44.580 This is how the Wall Street Journal

00:14:45.500 describes the Mexican government's raid

00:14:47.220 on the town of Tapalpa,

00:14:49.300 which took out the Mexican cartel leader

00:14:51.300 on Sunday morning.

00:14:52.580 This area is known as the Magic Town

00:14:54.260 because of its romantic pine forests.

00:14:57.020 And apparently,

00:14:57.600 El Mencho was spending the weekend

00:15:00.300 at this place

00:15:01.700 with one of his girlfriends.

00:15:03.740 And here's what it says,

00:15:04.660 quote,

00:15:05.200 Just before dawn,

00:15:06.080 the quiet of the Jalisco Hills

00:15:08.400 was jolted by the sounds

00:15:09.860 of combat helicopters,

00:15:11.820 military aircraft,

00:15:12.840 and then gunshots

00:15:13.860 ripping through the air.

00:15:15.440 El Mencho's security detail

00:15:17.160 fired back.

00:15:18.000 Dozens of soldiers

00:15:18.640 and armored military vehicles

00:15:20.240 plowed into the forest

00:15:21.360 amid the sound of heavy gunfire.

00:15:23.220 The ground team

00:15:24.740 chased El Mencho's men

00:15:25.780 into the forest,

00:15:26.860 forcing them to abandon

00:15:27.660 their high-powered weapons

00:15:28.860 in the cabin complex.

00:15:30.920 El Mencho's forces

00:15:31.660 were pinned down

00:15:32.360 and surrounded

00:15:32.920 but continued to fire back

00:15:34.420 for about five hours.

00:15:36.220 A military helicopter

00:15:37.020 was hit by the gunfire

00:15:38.260 and had to make an emergency landing

00:15:39.680 at a military facility.

00:15:41.080 When shooting stopped,

00:15:42.380 five cartel members

00:15:43.640 were dead on the ground.

00:15:44.760 Three others,

00:15:45.640 El Mencho and two bodyguards,

00:15:47.900 were seriously wounded

00:15:48.620 and then died

00:15:49.320 in a military helicopter later.

00:15:51.120 There were no military losses

00:15:52.200 during the raid

00:15:52.800 beyond two injured soldiers.

00:15:55.840 Afterward,

00:15:56.360 Mexican forces seized heavy weapons

00:15:58.100 including high-caliber

00:15:59.640 Barrett rifle munitions,

00:16:01.360 mortar grenades,

00:16:02.460 two rocket launchers,

00:16:04.080 and eight vehicles.

00:16:06.780 In other words,

00:16:07.260 this was not a law enforcement operation.

00:16:09.100 The Mexican government,

00:16:09.940 with the assistance

00:16:10.440 from U.S. intelligence,

00:16:12.080 sent in the military

00:16:12.940 and killed

00:16:14.500 one of the most dangerous

00:16:15.360 cartel leaders

00:16:16.080 in the hemisphere.

00:16:17.640 And these raids

00:16:18.460 need to continue

00:16:19.120 until the rule of law

00:16:20.160 is secured

00:16:20.920 in Mexico.

00:16:22.460 There should be

00:16:23.220 no terrorist states

00:16:24.520 on the U.S. border

00:16:25.740 under any circumstances.

00:16:28.380 And one of the reasons

00:16:28.940 the United States

00:16:29.620 hasn't collapsed

00:16:30.600 in the same way

00:16:31.500 that most of Europe

00:16:33.160 has collapsed

00:16:33.760 is that an ocean

00:16:35.400 separates us

00:16:36.320 from

00:16:36.760 the many

00:16:38.320 dysfunctional elements

00:16:39.660 of the third world.

00:16:41.720 But with the latest

00:16:42.760 cartel violence

00:16:43.460 in Mexico,

00:16:43.860 it's impossible

00:16:44.640 to deny

00:16:45.280 that we are now

00:16:46.080 directly threatened

00:16:47.060 by

00:16:48.240 narco-terrorists

00:16:49.260 on our doorstep.

00:16:50.420 They've already killed

00:16:51.300 tens of thousands

00:16:51.960 of Americans,

00:16:52.620 primarily with fentanyl,

00:16:53.980 as well as

00:16:54.880 meth and cocaine,

00:16:56.040 and now they're

00:16:56.700 threatening to murder

00:16:57.340 American tourists

00:16:58.120 and everybody living

00:16:59.380 near the southern border.

00:17:01.420 Right now,

00:17:03.380 as all this is going on,

00:17:05.180 near Iran,

00:17:06.680 we've stationed

00:17:07.420 an armada

00:17:08.220 that includes

00:17:08.860 multiple aircraft

00:17:09.900 carrier strike groups,

00:17:11.640 including the most

00:17:12.120 advanced carrier

00:17:12.940 in the Navy,

00:17:13.680 the USS Gerald Ford,

00:17:14.740 along with

00:17:15.920 at least

00:17:16.460 13 destroyers,

00:17:18.000 multiple warships

00:17:18.740 with Tomahawk missiles,

00:17:20.300 F-35 fighters,

00:17:22.020 F-A-18,

00:17:23.340 attack planes,

00:17:24.080 and so on.

00:17:24.980 We've stocked

00:17:25.640 nearby air bases

00:17:26.400 with drones,

00:17:27.620 reconnaissance planes,

00:17:28.660 tankers,

00:17:29.180 bombers,

00:17:30.160 electronic warfare jets.

00:17:32.240 We have a lot

00:17:32.960 of hardware

00:17:33.500 that's about

00:17:34.160 to strike Iran

00:17:34.960 to all appearances.

00:17:36.920 And even if you

00:17:37.460 fully support

00:17:38.240 those deployments

00:17:39.200 and even if you

00:17:39.940 believe that Iran

00:17:41.040 needs to be attacked,

00:17:42.900 you have to wonder

00:17:43.760 when the Pentagon

00:17:44.340 is going to devote

00:17:45.140 similar resources

00:17:46.160 to defending

00:17:46.720 the U.S. border

00:17:47.700 with Mexico.

00:17:49.560 The Mexican government

00:17:50.580 may be outgunned

00:17:51.540 by the cartels,

00:17:52.380 but we aren't.

00:17:54.180 And rather than

00:17:55.060 another war

00:17:55.660 in the Middle East,

00:17:57.440 a military campaign

00:17:58.460 to dismantle

00:17:59.340 and destroy

00:17:59.780 these cartels

00:18:00.440 would easily be

00:18:02.340 a defining legacy

00:18:03.660 of the second

00:18:04.440 Trump administration.

00:18:06.360 It would save

00:18:07.120 American lives,

00:18:07.900 which is the whole

00:18:08.480 reason we have

00:18:08.980 a military.

00:18:09.380 so for once

00:18:12.060 we should

00:18:12.380 follow the lead

00:18:13.960 of the Mexican

00:18:14.440 government,

00:18:15.460 which is not

00:18:15.800 something I ever

00:18:16.520 thought I'd say,

00:18:17.560 change our strategy

00:18:18.420 and kill these

00:18:19.960 narco-terrorists

00:18:20.780 before they know

00:18:22.100 what hit them.

00:18:24.000 Now let's get

00:18:24.600 to our five headlines.

00:18:31.120 The American Revolution

00:18:32.260 was born from

00:18:33.020 150 years

00:18:33.980 of colonial experience,

00:18:35.280 tensions,

00:18:35.760 and transformation.

00:18:36.420 And if you want

00:18:37.460 to dive even deeper

00:18:38.400 into the history

00:18:38.960 of our country,

00:18:39.640 our sponsor,

00:18:40.400 Hillsdale College,

00:18:41.540 offers a free

00:18:42.240 miniseries

00:18:42.840 on colonial America

00:18:44.340 that tells

00:18:45.020 the full story.

00:18:45.900 Hillsdale College

00:18:46.540 has created a fascinating

00:18:47.500 six-part documentary

00:18:48.460 series where their

00:18:49.300 professors explore

00:18:50.200 the religious,

00:18:51.100 political,

00:18:51.540 cultural,

00:18:51.940 and economic ideas

00:18:53.040 that shaped America's

00:18:54.440 unique character

00:18:55.420 during the colonial period.

00:18:56.760 You'll discover

00:18:57.340 why the idea

00:18:58.180 of liberty

00:18:59.200 drove settlers

00:18:59.980 to risk everything

00:19:01.240 crossing the Atlantic,

00:19:02.480 how early Americans

00:19:03.480 built local governments

00:19:04.760 to rule and protect

00:19:05.680 themselves,

00:19:06.420 and why America

00:19:07.280 became a place

00:19:08.140 where virtue could lead

00:19:09.440 to peace and prosperity.

00:19:10.860 While most of us

00:19:11.520 know the Declaration

00:19:12.220 of Independence

00:19:12.620 as the birth of our nation,

00:19:14.220 this course digs deeper

00:19:15.500 into something even

00:19:16.220 more fundamental,

00:19:17.020 the forging of the

00:19:17.860 American character

00:19:18.580 that made the revolution

00:19:19.660 possible in the first place,

00:19:21.080 and why reclaiming

00:19:21.980 that character matters

00:19:22.980 more than ever today.

00:19:25.240 Best of all,

00:19:25.940 this miniseries

00:19:26.480 is completely free

00:19:27.200 and easy to access,

00:19:28.700 and if you're interested

00:19:29.360 in learning more,

00:19:30.140 Hillsdale offers over

00:19:31.400 40 other free online courses

00:19:33.440 on everything from

00:19:34.280 C.S. Lewis

00:19:34.840 and the book of Genesis

00:19:35.800 to the rise and fall

00:19:36.760 of the Roman Republic,

00:19:37.600 plus in-depth courses

00:19:38.840 on the American founding

00:19:39.800 and constitution,

00:19:40.660 all at no cost.

00:19:42.040 This is a great course

00:19:43.020 to take to really appreciate

00:19:44.100 all that's gone

00:19:44.940 into our freedom,

00:19:45.860 and I highly recommend it.

00:19:57.700 Gavin Newsom

00:19:59.440 last seen

00:20:00.620 bragging to a black audience

00:20:02.440 about how he can't read

00:20:03.700 and how he got

00:20:05.320 a 960 on his SATs.

00:20:08.460 Well, he was on CNN

00:20:09.420 last night,

00:20:10.040 and he's now going back

00:20:11.520 to his reasonable

00:20:13.720 moderate shtick,

00:20:15.340 and here that is.

00:20:17.080 Listen.

00:20:17.220 There's no doubt

00:20:19.580 that the Democratic Party

00:20:21.140 needs to be,

00:20:22.160 dare I say,

00:20:22.720 more culturally normal.

00:20:24.320 I believe that.

00:20:26.380 Less prone

00:20:27.580 to spending

00:20:28.600 a disproportionate amount

00:20:30.200 of time

00:20:30.560 on pronouns,

00:20:32.480 identity,

00:20:33.140 politics.

00:20:33.940 More focused

00:20:34.540 on tabletop issues,

00:20:36.160 things that really matter,

00:20:37.400 the stacking of stress

00:20:38.240 in terms of electricity bills

00:20:39.740 and childcare costs

00:20:40.640 and healthcare

00:20:41.280 and obviously housing costs,

00:20:43.220 and how easily

00:20:44.260 we get trapped in that.

00:20:45.240 How I've fallen prey

00:20:46.900 to that.

00:20:47.620 I mean,

00:20:48.020 here I was,

00:20:49.180 way out front

00:20:49.760 on marriage equality,

00:20:50.520 so I understand this

00:20:51.720 from both

00:20:52.540 and the receiving end

00:20:53.260 of this.

00:20:57.600 The Democrat Party

00:20:58.660 needs to be more

00:20:59.380 culturally normal,

00:21:00.660 he says,

00:21:01.360 and he says

00:21:02.380 they need to be

00:21:02.720 less focused on pronouns,

00:21:04.220 very boldly,

00:21:05.240 very bravely.

00:21:06.540 Very bravely

00:21:07.480 coming out

00:21:07.900 against the pronoun fad

00:21:09.120 like three years

00:21:10.320 after it peaked.

00:21:12.760 The year 2026,

00:21:14.420 Gavin Newsom

00:21:15.040 taking the bold

00:21:17.060 stance

00:21:17.600 that they shouldn't

00:21:18.140 be too focused

00:21:18.940 on pronouns.

00:21:20.600 And of course,

00:21:21.120 Newsom wants us

00:21:21.760 to forget

00:21:22.140 that as governor

00:21:22.760 of California,

00:21:23.400 he was one

00:21:24.140 of the primary

00:21:24.720 drivers of this stuff.

00:21:26.340 He's one of the

00:21:26.680 primary drivers

00:21:27.480 of the trans craze,

00:21:30.060 and he's of course

00:21:30.900 retconning all of that

00:21:32.020 now,

00:21:32.440 but we know that.

00:21:34.180 But that's not

00:21:34.960 what I want to focus on.

00:21:35.760 Instead,

00:21:36.140 I think

00:21:36.920 it just,

00:21:37.880 this needs to be said,

00:21:38.720 that it's actually

00:21:40.500 impossible

00:21:41.180 for the Democrat

00:21:43.600 Party to be

00:21:44.500 culturally normal.

00:21:46.600 That's not possible

00:21:47.520 to do.

00:21:48.700 Now,

00:21:48.880 in theory,

00:21:49.440 if it were possible,

00:21:51.280 that would be the

00:21:51.800 politically smart

00:21:52.980 thing for them to do.

00:21:54.000 It would make them

00:21:54.600 more politically

00:21:55.200 formidable.

00:21:57.360 But they actually

00:21:58.060 can't do that.

00:21:59.060 It's not possible.

00:22:00.060 It can never happen.

00:22:02.100 You know,

00:22:02.220 it's not like the

00:22:02.720 Republican Party.

00:22:03.500 I mean,

00:22:03.640 I'll be the first

00:22:04.160 to say that there

00:22:04.760 are some,

00:22:06.560 shall we say,

00:22:07.600 weird elements

00:22:08.600 among conservatives.

00:22:10.520 Conservatives can get

00:22:11.380 drawn down some

00:22:12.260 very bizarre paths.

00:22:14.720 That can happen.

00:22:16.040 It does happen.

00:22:17.700 But even when

00:22:18.580 conservatives start

00:22:19.340 doing and saying

00:22:20.040 weird stuff,

00:22:20.900 you can always,

00:22:21.760 at least in theory,

00:22:22.740 draw them back

00:22:23.560 into normalcy.

00:22:25.580 But with the left,

00:22:26.660 it's totally different.

00:22:27.640 The left can never

00:22:28.360 be culturally normal

00:22:29.440 because by definition,

00:22:30.620 leftism is

00:22:31.540 a force of destruction.

00:22:33.800 It's a force of

00:22:34.360 perversion,

00:22:35.140 subversion.

00:22:36.520 It inherently

00:22:37.480 opposes everything

00:22:38.740 that can be

00:22:39.280 considered

00:22:39.820 culturally normal.

00:22:42.080 It opposes the culture.

00:22:43.400 It opposes all

00:22:44.040 aspects of normalcy.

00:22:45.440 It seeks to dismantle.

00:22:47.080 I mean,

00:22:47.180 that is the banner

00:22:47.980 that it marches under,

00:22:49.240 literally.

00:22:51.780 And there's a version

00:22:54.000 of what I'm saying

00:22:54.720 that even leftists

00:22:55.920 would agree with

00:22:56.600 openly.

00:22:57.860 I mean,

00:22:58.080 they wouldn't

00:22:58.360 necessarily describe

00:22:59.440 what they do

00:23:00.220 as perversion

00:23:01.140 and subversion,

00:23:02.080 even though that's

00:23:02.560 what it is.

00:23:04.080 But they would agree

00:23:04.900 if I framed it this way.

00:23:05.660 If I said progressivism

00:23:06.620 is by definition

00:23:07.640 a vehicle

00:23:08.480 for perpetual

00:23:10.460 social transformation.

00:23:14.340 It's not a vehicle

00:23:15.300 for preservation.

00:23:17.860 It's a vehicle for,

00:23:19.160 I mean,

00:23:19.320 that's conservatism

00:23:20.100 by definition.

00:23:21.860 It's right there

00:23:22.380 in the name,

00:23:22.800 conserve,

00:23:23.400 conserving something.

00:23:25.380 Progressivism,

00:23:26.040 right there in the name,

00:23:27.160 progress.

00:23:27.740 We're moving.

00:23:28.360 We're continuing.

00:23:29.100 We keep going,

00:23:29.780 right?

00:23:31.520 So even framing it

00:23:32.940 as positively

00:23:33.680 as I possibly can,

00:23:34.960 there is no normalcy there.

00:23:36.340 Progressing means

00:23:38.600 constantly,

00:23:39.700 continuously changing.

00:23:41.500 It means continuously

00:23:42.280 forming new normals,

00:23:44.020 which is to say,

00:23:45.360 it means not having

00:23:46.620 a normal.

00:23:48.300 If there's a new normal

00:23:49.480 and then tomorrow

00:23:50.600 there's another new normal,

00:23:51.700 then that just means

00:23:52.380 that there's no normal.

00:23:55.320 So that's why

00:23:56.060 this moderating attempt

00:23:57.080 on the left

00:23:57.600 won't work,

00:23:58.460 it can't work,

00:23:59.080 it can't happen.

00:23:59.840 It's why leftism

00:24:00.620 will never ever be

00:24:01.920 a force for the preservation

00:24:03.260 of or defense

00:24:04.340 of normalcy.

00:24:07.320 Progressivism

00:24:07.720 progresses.

00:24:09.680 As I always say,

00:24:10.680 it progresses

00:24:11.100 in the same sense

00:24:12.200 that cancer progresses,

00:24:14.140 eating away,

00:24:15.060 destroying.

00:24:16.840 So when a leftist

00:24:17.740 politician says

00:24:18.320 that they want

00:24:18.700 to be more normal,

00:24:21.820 all he really means

00:24:23.300 is we want to pull

00:24:24.260 back a little bit,

00:24:25.240 we want to rein

00:24:26.240 things in just a little bit,

00:24:27.820 and we want the progress

00:24:29.040 to be a little bit slower.

00:24:30.760 We want to slow down

00:24:31.820 the progress

00:24:32.580 of the cancer.

00:24:35.940 Now Gavin Newsom,

00:24:36.540 he doesn't have a problem

00:24:37.320 with the trans stuff,

00:24:38.320 obviously.

00:24:38.940 He just believes now

00:24:40.100 that the trans stuff

00:24:42.020 came on too fast,

00:24:43.240 the transformation

00:24:43.760 was too rapid,

00:24:45.460 society rejected it,

00:24:47.120 so for strategic

00:24:48.300 and political reasons

00:24:49.380 he wants to slow it down

00:24:50.720 a little bit,

00:24:51.560 make it more gradual.

00:24:52.900 That's all that he's

00:24:53.720 talking about.

00:24:54.960 Sheets don't usually

00:24:56.020 fail all at once.

00:24:57.300 It's never this dramatic

00:24:58.260 moment where they

00:24:59.220 just fall apart.

00:24:59.900 It's the small things

00:25:00.780 that creep up on you,

00:25:01.840 the corners that won't

00:25:02.920 stay tucked,

00:25:03.840 the fabric that feels

00:25:04.760 a little thinner

00:25:05.280 and a little scratchier

00:25:06.260 than you remember,

00:25:07.440 waking up warmer

00:25:08.240 than you should be,

00:25:09.120 tossing around more

00:25:09.940 than usual,

00:25:10.600 and you just don't feel

00:25:11.980 as comfortable

00:25:12.380 as you used to.

00:25:14.180 Here's the thing,

00:25:15.080 you don't always realize

00:25:16.300 how bad your sheets

00:25:17.180 have gotten

00:25:17.780 until you finally

00:25:18.700 replace them.

00:25:19.460 It's why you need

00:25:19.860 to upgrade to our

00:25:20.620 sponsor,

00:25:22.120 Bowling Branch's

00:25:24.180 from 100% organic cotton,

00:25:25.840 and they're actually

00:25:26.640 designed to hold

00:25:27.400 their shape,

00:25:28.000 stay breathable,

00:25:28.620 and feel luxuriously

00:25:30.020 soft night after night.

00:25:34.940 My wife and I have

00:25:35.560 had their signature

00:25:36.220 sheets on our bed

00:25:37.040 for a while now,

00:25:37.720 and they're definitely

00:25:38.920 worth it.

00:25:39.380 I was skeptical of the

00:25:40.060 idea that they could

00:25:41.260 get softer with every

00:25:42.160 wash,

00:25:42.620 but time has certainly

00:25:44.000 proved me wrong.

00:25:44.660 They really are

00:25:45.220 phenomenal quality

00:25:46.140 and comfort combined,

00:25:47.600 plus they don't wear

00:25:48.720 out instantly like the

00:26:12.000 There is right now

00:26:12.720 in Tennessee

00:26:14.000 an interesting bill

00:26:15.540 that's been proposed.

00:26:17.120 It's an equal protection

00:26:18.100 bill in Tennessee.

00:26:19.220 It's a draft amendment

00:26:20.120 which would extend

00:26:21.700 equal legal protections

00:26:23.440 to children in the womb.

00:26:25.700 They'd be protected

00:26:26.640 legally the same way

00:26:28.160 that humans

00:26:28.900 outside of the womb

00:26:30.300 are protected,

00:26:31.940 which would also mean

00:26:33.200 that the killing

00:26:33.940 of these humans

00:26:34.640 in the womb

00:26:35.200 would be classified

00:26:36.060 under the law

00:26:36.940 as murder

00:26:37.580 and would be treated

00:26:38.540 that way.

00:26:40.160 And here's how

00:26:41.000 local news

00:26:41.740 in Tennessee

00:26:42.800 reported on this.

00:26:44.140 Watch.

00:26:45.740 Republican state lawmakers

00:26:47.080 are backing legislation

00:26:48.580 legalizing the prosecution

00:26:50.420 of women

00:26:51.140 who receive an abortion

00:26:52.500 for the crime

00:26:53.560 of homicide.

00:26:54.320 Good evening

00:26:55.260 and welcome

00:26:55.680 to News 2 at 5.

00:26:56.840 I'm Bob Mueller.

00:26:57.740 And I'm Haley Wilkes.

00:26:58.640 If passed,

00:26:59.460 women convicted

00:27:00.180 of receiving an abortion

00:27:01.320 in Tennessee

00:27:02.020 could face years

00:27:03.300 in prison

00:27:03.860 or even the death penalty.

00:27:06.020 State Capitol reporter

00:27:07.100 Tori Gessner explains.

00:27:09.600 When it comes

00:27:10.500 to abortion laws,

00:27:11.600 it doesn't get

00:27:12.120 much stricter

00:27:12.780 than Tennessee.

00:27:13.820 The state

00:27:14.180 has a near-total ban

00:27:15.540 with no exceptions

00:27:16.600 for rape

00:27:17.220 or incest.

00:27:18.140 Now,

00:27:19.660 a new bill

00:27:20.200 would make

00:27:20.560 those laws

00:27:21.080 even tougher,

00:27:22.240 giving fetuses

00:27:22.980 the same legal protections

00:27:24.340 as those living

00:27:25.360 outside the womb.

00:27:26.380 That individual,

00:27:28.360 in my personal opinion,

00:27:29.820 has the same

00:27:30.740 right to live

00:27:32.140 than someone

00:27:34.580 who has already

00:27:35.880 been born.

00:27:37.180 I don't think

00:27:38.320 there's some

00:27:40.300 magic threshold

00:27:41.380 that you cross

00:27:42.600 whenever you pass

00:27:43.800 through the birth canal

00:27:44.500 that suddenly

00:27:45.260 bestows you

00:27:46.500 as an actual

00:27:47.520 human being.

00:27:48.380 Republican Representative

00:27:49.500 Jody Barrett

00:27:50.260 talking about

00:27:51.100 what he calls

00:27:51.800 his equal protection

00:27:52.820 bill on his podcast

00:27:54.300 The Woodshed.

00:27:55.280 His proposal

00:27:55.880 would make it

00:27:56.360 so a woman

00:27:56.820 who gets an abortion

00:27:57.720 would face

00:27:58.560 the same

00:27:58.940 as a woman

00:27:59.860 who kills

00:28:00.660 her baby

00:28:01.120 after birth.

00:28:02.320 There would be

00:28:02.760 limited exceptions

00:28:03.660 if a life-saving

00:28:04.700 procedure

00:28:05.180 unintentionally results

00:28:06.480 in an unborn baby's

00:28:07.760 death or if the woman

00:28:08.980 has a quote

00:28:09.580 spontaneous miscarriage.

00:28:11.320 All we're saying

00:28:12.200 is if you

00:28:14.300 kill someone

00:28:15.220 that is a life

00:28:16.240 and being

00:28:16.780 you can be charged

00:28:18.000 with whatever

00:28:19.040 crimes or criminal

00:28:21.180 charges that are

00:28:22.500 on the books

00:28:23.140 currently

00:28:23.640 and with equal

00:28:25.720 protection for unborn

00:28:26.880 that means if you

00:28:27.780 kill a child

00:28:28.580 in the womb

00:28:29.320 you should be subject

00:28:30.460 to the same

00:28:31.300 penalties

00:28:32.100 or same charges.

00:28:38.340 Well I couldn't

00:28:39.220 agree more.

00:28:39.860 I think that

00:28:40.360 this is

00:28:42.540 I think it's great

00:28:43.940 the logic

00:28:44.580 is unassailable

00:28:45.300 here

00:28:45.720 either unborn

00:28:47.220 babies are human

00:28:48.140 beings

00:28:48.600 or they aren't

00:28:50.700 and if they are

00:28:52.900 then killing them

00:28:54.020 is murder

00:28:55.400 and if killing

00:28:56.220 them is murder

00:28:56.740 then there should

00:28:58.060 be criminal

00:28:58.740 prosecutions.

00:28:59.800 I mean one thing

00:29:00.260 leads to another

00:29:00.820 one logical step

00:29:01.680 leads to the other

00:29:02.360 step.

00:29:04.140 The only way

00:29:04.980 that you don't

00:29:05.500 end up with

00:29:06.020 the same conclusion

00:29:07.320 as the people

00:29:07.920 who wrote this bill

00:29:09.380 is if you disagree

00:29:10.220 with the first

00:29:10.760 proposition

00:29:11.300 which is that

00:29:12.660 unborn babies

00:29:13.320 are humans

00:29:13.860 but if you agree

00:29:15.320 with that proposition

00:29:16.120 I don't see how

00:29:16.820 you can logically

00:29:17.460 end up any other

00:29:18.500 place.

00:29:20.500 It's inevitable.

00:29:21.840 It's logically

00:29:22.680 inevitable.

00:29:24.880 So is the first

00:29:25.800 proposition true?

00:29:26.720 Are unborn babies

00:29:27.460 human?

00:29:27.920 Well yes

00:29:28.360 obviously they are.

00:29:30.160 It's not even a

00:29:31.080 debate.

00:29:31.560 They're living beings

00:29:32.860 of the human species

00:29:33.840 if they aren't human

00:29:35.620 then what species

00:29:36.340 are they?

00:29:37.300 You can't exist

00:29:38.940 in some sort

00:29:39.460 of limbo state

00:29:40.360 where you belong

00:29:41.660 to no species

00:29:42.540 that's not a thing

00:29:43.780 it's not possible.

00:29:48.000 Unborn babies

00:29:48.860 are conceived

00:29:49.540 by two humans

00:29:50.800 and two humans

00:29:53.280 cannot conceive

00:29:54.080 anything but

00:29:54.980 another human

00:29:55.560 and so unborn

00:29:57.940 babies are human

00:29:58.580 beings.

00:29:59.920 That's it.

00:30:00.720 That's all there

00:30:01.120 is to it.

00:30:01.860 It really is not

00:30:02.860 a debate.

00:30:03.720 It just is true.

00:30:04.940 It's simply true.

00:30:06.040 It is a matter

00:30:08.120 it's a scientific

00:30:08.740 fact.

00:30:12.720 Okay so then

00:30:13.640 if that's established

00:30:15.800 then directly

00:30:16.840 and intentionally

00:30:17.400 killing a human

00:30:18.680 what do we call

00:30:21.360 that?

00:30:23.100 We call that

00:30:23.800 murder.

00:30:25.540 If it's a human

00:30:26.360 life that's being

00:30:27.020 killed and it's

00:30:27.680 being done

00:30:28.020 intentionally

00:30:28.660 directly

00:30:30.500 then that's

00:30:32.460 murder.

00:30:32.860 That's what that

00:30:33.320 is.

00:30:33.620 That's the

00:30:33.900 definition of it.

00:30:36.040 Okay well then

00:30:36.580 what do you do

00:30:37.160 with murderers?

00:30:38.900 Okay so if that

00:30:39.620 falls so unborn

00:30:41.040 babies are human

00:30:41.760 kill indirectly

00:30:42.660 intentionally killing

00:30:43.380 therefore is murder.

00:30:47.700 Therefore the

00:30:48.540 person who's doing

00:30:49.380 the killing is

00:30:50.540 a therefore a

00:30:51.400 murderer.

00:30:54.320 Therefore what do

00:30:55.060 we do with

00:30:55.760 murderers?

00:30:56.240 Well we punish

00:30:56.680 them.

00:30:57.980 One follows from

00:30:58.960 the other very

00:30:59.560 clearly.

00:31:01.160 Now if you want

00:31:01.960 to get into the

00:31:02.460 question of moral

00:31:03.440 culpability

00:31:04.200 obviously it's

00:31:07.100 true there can

00:31:07.460 be different

00:31:07.960 levels of moral

00:31:09.060 culpability.

00:31:11.400 So we're not

00:31:12.120 talking about the

00:31:13.020 intrinsic morality

00:31:15.260 of the act

00:31:15.860 itself.

00:31:17.440 It's murder.

00:31:19.120 It's depraved

00:31:19.980 wicked evil.

00:31:22.640 Moral culpability

00:31:23.760 for a person

00:31:24.540 committing an act

00:31:25.660 can have varying

00:31:30.900 degrees and we

00:31:32.000 all know that.

00:31:33.280 That's true of

00:31:34.080 every kind of

00:31:34.780 murder.

00:31:36.380 Like there's not

00:31:37.100 anyone who would

00:31:37.580 say that well we

00:31:39.280 should have a

00:31:39.960 mandatory sentence

00:31:41.620 where all homicides

00:31:43.960 get the exact

00:31:45.100 same sentence

00:31:46.960 no matter what

00:31:48.080 no matter the

00:31:48.660 circumstances.

00:31:50.040 Nobody thinks

00:31:50.800 that.

00:31:52.360 I mean you have

00:31:52.660 first degree murder

00:31:53.280 second degree murder

00:31:53.960 I mean you have

00:31:54.220 different degrees

00:31:54.860 right?

00:31:56.220 And you can

00:31:58.260 murder someone and

00:31:59.240 in some

00:31:59.780 circumstances

00:32:00.700 reasonably receive

00:32:03.880 a much lighter

00:32:04.620 sentence than

00:32:05.260 someone else who

00:32:06.040 murders someone in

00:32:06.860 a different

00:32:07.200 circumstance.

00:32:08.900 Just like you

00:32:10.100 could murder

00:32:10.420 someone and get a

00:32:11.220 much worse sentence

00:32:12.080 than someone else

00:32:13.060 depending on the

00:32:13.560 circumstances.

00:32:14.340 The whole point of

00:32:15.100 the sentencing is to

00:32:15.980 assess these things

00:32:16.940 in theory.

00:32:18.640 The whole point of

00:32:19.240 the sentencing process

00:32:20.160 is to assess okay

00:32:21.660 well we've established

00:32:22.340 you did this thing

00:32:23.380 you're guilty of it

00:32:24.200 it's a crime and

00:32:26.120 now for the

00:32:26.720 sentencing we're

00:32:27.480 going to look at

00:32:28.160 moral culpability

00:32:30.180 we're going to

00:32:30.620 look at

00:32:31.500 all kinds of

00:32:33.120 different factors

00:32:33.580 remorse

00:32:34.320 how likely are you

00:32:35.720 to offend again

00:32:36.680 I mean all these

00:32:37.200 things should be

00:32:38.380 factored in

00:32:39.120 now we know that

00:32:39.780 judges these days

00:32:41.620 often come up with

00:32:42.440 very bad assessments

00:32:43.420 but that is how

00:32:46.040 the system is

00:32:46.560 supposed to work

00:32:47.340 so you have to

00:32:49.780 assess

00:32:50.280 you have to assess

00:32:53.000 moral culpability

00:32:54.580 but the point is

00:32:55.620 that still

00:32:56.940 no matter what

00:32:58.400 an unborn child

00:33:00.200 is a human

00:33:01.580 killing that human

00:33:03.680 on purpose

00:33:04.520 is murder

00:33:05.460 and should be

00:33:07.460 legally classified

00:33:08.460 that way

00:33:08.940 it should be a

00:33:10.120 criminal matter

00:33:11.460 with criminal

00:33:12.920 penalties

00:33:13.540 because it is a

00:33:15.460 homicide

00:33:15.840 and yes of course

00:33:18.720 that means prison

00:33:19.700 time for everybody

00:33:20.680 involved

00:33:21.140 and again if you

00:33:24.140 don't agree with

00:33:24.960 that then I

00:33:25.580 I can only

00:33:27.480 assume it's because

00:33:28.380 you don't actually

00:33:28.940 think that abortion

00:33:29.800 is murder

00:33:30.260 if it is then

00:33:31.840 all we're saying

00:33:34.680 all this argument

00:33:35.480 is saying all this

00:33:36.020 bill is saying

00:33:36.600 is if it's murder

00:33:37.460 like do we actually

00:33:38.580 think it's murder

00:33:39.080 or not

00:33:39.540 because if it is

00:33:40.520 why are we

00:33:41.980 treating it that way

00:33:42.700 this episode is

00:33:50.300 if you've ever

00:33:53.980 surprised to see how

00:33:54.920 much sugar is in

00:33:57.620 tastes good and is

00:34:20.980 of protein bars on the

00:34:21.700 market and none of

00:34:22.580 them taste like real

00:34:23.360 food they taste

00:34:24.060 artificial and

00:34:25.020 strange but Prime

00:35:13.200 spent 30 billion dollars

00:35:14.380 to ditch textbooks for

00:35:15.680 laptops and tablets the

00:35:17.060 result is the first

00:35:18.000 generation less

00:35:19.640 cognitively capable than

00:35:21.740 their parents the

00:35:24.180 article says in 2002

00:35:25.560 maine became the first

00:35:26.820 state to implement a

00:35:27.620 statewide laptop program

00:35:29.260 for some grade levels

00:35:31.600 then governor angus king

00:35:33.160 saw the program as a way

00:35:34.100 to put the internet at

00:35:36.140 the fingertips of their

00:35:38.620 of more children who

00:35:39.540 would be able to

00:35:40.260 immerse themselves in

00:35:40.980 information by that fall

00:35:42.160 the maine learning

00:35:42.860 technology initiative

00:35:43.780 had distributed 17,000

00:35:45.480 apple laptops to

00:35:46.580 seventh graders across

00:35:47.320 243 middle schools by

00:35:49.080 2016 those numbers

00:35:50.000 have multiplied to

00:35:50.800 66,000 laptops and

00:35:52.540 tablets distributed to

00:35:53.460 maine students king's

00:35:55.480 initial efforts have

00:35:56.180 been mirrored across

00:35:56.900 the country in 2000

00:35:57.900 2024 the u.s spent more

00:36:00.740 than 30 billion dollars

00:36:02.280 putting laptops and

00:36:03.320 tablets in schools but

00:36:06.160 more than a quarter

00:36:06.820 century and numerous

00:36:07.700 evolving models of

00:36:08.560 technology later

00:36:09.240 psychologists and

00:36:09.980 learning experts see a

00:36:10.900 different outcome than

00:36:12.100 the one king intended

00:36:13.060 rather than empowering

00:36:13.940 the generation with

00:36:15.420 access to more knowledge

00:36:16.480 the technology had the

00:36:17.340 opposite effect

00:36:18.140 earlier this year in

00:36:20.100 written testimony before

00:36:20.880 the u.s senate committee

00:36:21.900 on commerce science and

00:36:23.000 transportation neuroscientist

00:36:24.720 jared cooney horvath said

00:36:27.100 that gen z is less

00:36:28.420 cognitively capable than

00:36:30.060 previous generations

00:36:30.960 despite its unprecedented

00:36:32.320 access to technology he

00:36:34.000 said gen z is the first

00:36:35.040 generation in modern

00:36:35.860 history to score lower

00:36:37.020 on standardized tests than

00:36:38.020 the previous ones while

00:36:39.460 skills measured by these

00:36:40.400 tests like literacy and

00:36:41.380 numeracy aren't always

00:36:42.900 indicative of intelligence

00:36:43.940 they are reflections of

00:36:45.180 cognitive capability which

00:36:47.380 horvath said has been on

00:36:49.200 the decline over the last

00:36:50.540 decade or so

00:36:51.480 ultimately horvath said the

00:36:54.680 loss of critical thinking

00:36:55.540 and learning skills is less

00:36:56.640 of a personal failure and

00:36:57.640 more of a policy one

00:36:58.700 calling the generation of

00:36:59.940 americans educated with

00:37:00.840 gadget victims of a failed

00:37:02.360 pedagogical experiment

00:37:04.280 whenever i work with

00:37:06.140 teenagers i tell them this

00:37:07.940 is not your fault none of

00:37:09.180 you asked to be sat in front

00:37:10.780 of a computer for your

00:37:11.580 entire k-12 schooling

00:37:12.880 horvath said that means

00:37:14.740 we screwed up and i

00:37:15.620 genuinely hope gen z quickly

00:37:16.800 figures that out and gets

00:37:18.300 mad the whole argument is

00:37:19.980 worth reading because it

00:37:21.660 goes into some of the

00:37:22.600 science here and some of

00:37:23.880 the data but yes the

00:37:25.740 screens are making kids

00:37:27.020 dumber a lot dumber and

00:37:30.140 quickly if there's anything

00:37:32.560 that's surprising about this

00:37:33.740 it's not that it's making

00:37:34.560 kids dumber we all should

00:37:35.640 have known that i've been

00:37:37.740 shouting that from the

00:37:38.840 rooftops like a lot of

00:37:39.680 people have for a long time

00:37:40.540 if there's anything that's

00:37:41.960 surprising it's how quick

00:37:42.820 this is happening i'm

00:37:44.000 surprised by that i mean

00:37:46.660 the deterioration is real

00:37:48.360 and it's happening very

00:37:50.020 fast this is idiocracy at

00:37:52.980 warp speed i mean i've

00:37:55.740 always said that idiocracy i

00:37:56.900 think is what is in a lot

00:37:58.060 of ways one of the one of

00:37:58.940 the most prophetic works of

00:38:00.820 fiction of our time uh but

00:38:03.260 it projects this this uh

00:38:06.140 society full of retards like

00:38:08.000 500 years in the future and

00:38:09.720 and i've always said well

00:38:10.660 that's they got that you

00:38:12.220 know mike judge got that

00:38:13.020 wrong because it's not

00:38:13.880 going to take 500 years

00:38:14.880 but i didn't think it

00:38:17.440 would take five years i mean

00:38:20.120 i this is way faster than

00:38:22.220 uh i think anyone

00:38:24.540 anticipated and this is not

00:38:27.400 just one person saying this

00:38:28.720 or one study the empirical

00:38:30.700 evidence that screens are

00:38:32.020 making kids dumber and less

00:38:33.800 focused less competent uh

00:38:36.140 less able to concentrate all

00:38:38.920 these things the evidence is

00:38:39.960 absolutely overwhelming i mean

00:38:42.060 there have been studies just

00:38:44.600 you name it studies showing

00:38:45.840 that higher screen time is

00:38:46.980 linked with lower academic

00:38:48.880 achievements studies showing

00:38:50.020 the exposure to screens before

00:38:51.240 age five leads to weaker

00:38:53.480 executive functions in the

00:38:54.780 brain um screens cause

00:38:56.800 attention problems a lot

00:38:58.140 there's been a lot of

00:38:58.940 research on that uh shortening

00:39:01.120 attention spans it destroys

00:39:02.640 your memory destroys your

00:39:05.460 impulse control lowers your

00:39:07.800 language skills and

00:39:08.980 comprehension screen use is

00:39:11.020 tied to emotional problems

00:39:12.460 psychological problems

00:39:13.520 depression so-called mental

00:39:15.960 health problems so on and so

00:39:18.220 on and so on there's reams and

00:39:19.780 reams of research showing all

00:39:21.400 this it's all documented documented

00:39:24.640 over and over and over again

00:39:25.900 and if you don't believe the

00:39:29.620 studies believe your own eyes

00:39:30.760 believe your common sense look

00:39:32.820 around you believe your own

00:39:33.940 experience

00:39:34.600 i mean we've all experienced

00:39:38.040 this

00:39:38.400 i notice it in myself

00:39:41.240 things like

00:39:42.960 memory like you you feel like

00:39:45.880 you don't remember things as

00:39:46.880 well as now it's true also i'm

00:39:48.120 getting older so it's there's

00:39:49.160 some of that

00:39:49.620 true

00:39:50.140 but i think if you look at your

00:39:52.900 own experience you would you

00:39:54.040 would also see this

00:39:55.000 that it really seems like and you

00:39:57.600 hear this when we talk you know

00:39:58.460 you've probably had many

00:40:00.680 conversations with people where

00:40:01.720 you where you talk about this

00:40:02.820 so it's like it seems like you

00:40:04.700 can't remember things as well as

00:40:05.740 you used to

00:40:06.300 even for adults having trouble

00:40:09.600 focusing in ways that you

00:40:11.840 didn't before

00:40:12.540 and for a long time we'd always

00:40:15.760 talked about oh there's a there's

00:40:16.880 an epidemic of adult adhd what's

00:40:19.280 going on here

00:40:19.960 oh huh let me think about this

00:40:22.680 well we've got an epidemic of kids

00:40:25.220 with adhd and an epidemic of adult

00:40:27.600 adhd and it seems like that

00:40:29.140 epidemic like

00:40:30.300 there was an onset of this

00:40:32.600 of this epidemic kind of like at

00:40:34.660 the same time

00:40:35.480 what happened what is the big

00:40:38.960 change is that we all just like

00:40:40.700 contracted this disease out of

00:40:42.400 nowhere mysteriously

00:40:43.400 or can we point to exactly when

00:40:47.960 screens became ubiquitous and

00:40:50.440 everybody started carrying them

00:40:51.440 around in their pockets like

00:40:52.480 exactly that moment is when you

00:40:54.880 see this epidemic really kick

00:40:57.760 into a

00:40:58.520 hyperdrive so this is something we

00:41:02.280 all experience it's um and if if

00:41:05.560 you

00:41:05.840 if you don't trust your own

00:41:08.120 experience if you think that's too

00:41:09.220 anecdotal

00:41:09.800 then okay they just look at the

00:41:11.620 research look at the data it's all

00:41:13.060 there it is incredibly obvious

00:41:14.560 and

00:41:16.580 you know and then you look at the

00:41:20.960 younger generations look at kids

00:41:22.200 today

00:41:22.560 as a generally speaking this

00:41:26.980 isn't true of all the i mean i

00:41:28.040 have kids i wouldn't say this

00:41:29.060 about my own kids but we also as

00:41:30.880 you know go to great lengths to

00:41:32.800 make sure their lives are not

00:41:35.140 dominated by screens but

00:41:36.180 generally speaking younger people

00:41:38.140 today

00:41:38.580 are well

00:41:40.760 the data shows are dumber they

00:41:43.200 just they're they don't they're

00:41:44.660 not as good at comprehending

00:41:45.800 things

00:41:46.160 they're just kind of more numb

00:41:48.520 less vibrant less excited about

00:41:50.280 life

00:41:50.680 less kind of earnest and sincere

00:41:53.840 less innocent

00:41:54.600 less able to communicate their

00:41:57.540 thoughts and feelings

00:41:58.620 coherently

00:42:00.340 you know every day i see these

00:42:02.960 posts on x we all see them

00:42:04.540 speaking of screen addiction

00:42:07.240 but you know you see these things

00:42:09.500 like a clip or a montage a slice of

00:42:12.180 life video from the early 2000s or

00:42:14.720 from the 1990s or from the 80s

00:42:16.840 and the caption is always like look

00:42:20.100 at what we lost

00:42:20.820 look what we lost so his his look

00:42:23.420 at look at this see what it was

00:42:25.000 like before

00:42:25.580 and the skeptical response to those

00:42:30.280 kinds of posts is always like well

00:42:31.280 this is just nostalgia

00:42:32.200 every generation feels this way and

00:42:34.180 sure maybe they do but

00:42:35.120 it's also true

00:42:36.480 there is a real thing here like we

00:42:39.200 did lose something it's not just

00:42:40.940 nostalgia it's not just that

00:42:42.580 it's more than that

00:42:44.280 i mean i saw one today it was a

00:42:46.280 video some random clips from

00:42:48.240 a montage of some you know high

00:42:52.080 school in like 2003 or something i

00:42:54.400 think it was

00:42:54.860 and it was different the kids were

00:42:58.780 much more vibrant alive joyful

00:43:00.960 energetic happy

00:43:02.020 communicative

00:43:03.920 they were i was there

00:43:07.420 i mean i hated school don't get me

00:43:10.420 wrong but it was different

00:43:12.580 because a school was not it was

00:43:15.240 not you go back 20 years ago 30

00:43:16.800 years ago it was not

00:43:17.680 a utopia

00:43:18.640 and you might might have been a

00:43:21.660 kid and go to school and hate it

00:43:22.520 every day i

00:43:23.060 mostly did

00:43:23.860 but you also this is this is part of

00:43:28.560 the thing like you don't you know

00:43:29.820 you don't know have what you have

00:43:30.900 until it's gone right

00:43:31.660 the cliche it's true

00:43:33.200 and so there are a lot of things

00:43:35.780 that we just didn't appreciate

00:43:37.380 because they were part of life

00:43:38.660 like just the simple fact that

00:43:41.460 everybody is

00:43:42.680 present in the room at the time and

00:43:46.540 you're not staring at a screen and

00:43:48.440 you're like interacting with each

00:43:49.460 other

00:43:49.740 being able to go through life and go

00:43:53.240 into room like every room you go

00:43:54.540 into

00:43:54.860 every room you go into everybody is

00:43:57.280 in the room or they're just there

00:43:59.160 they're present with you and you

00:44:00.560 would

00:44:00.720 and they're just they would talk to

00:44:02.740 you even if they didn't talk to

00:44:03.520 you we're all just like in this room

00:44:04.840 together present

00:44:05.680 and that's the kind of thing that

00:44:08.680 at the time there's no way to have

00:44:09.980 possibly appreciated that because

00:44:11.460 how how what else you couldn't

00:44:13.540 imagine any other scenario

00:44:14.660 you would never walk into a room and

00:44:19.740 say well i'm just so glad we're all

00:44:21.140 present together

00:44:21.920 you would never say that because

00:44:23.600 well what else are we going to be

00:44:24.560 of course we're present together

00:44:25.460 the concept of a future where we're

00:44:30.140 all just doing this all the time

00:44:31.580 staring at phones and no one else

00:44:33.020 exists it was like it wasn't even

00:44:34.320 on the radar

00:44:34.820 so um you know things have changed

00:44:39.400 and uh and there are a lot of

00:44:40.880 reasons for it but the screens are

00:44:42.480 the main reason i i fully believe

00:44:45.020 that

00:44:45.300 and there are a lot of reasons why

00:44:47.920 the screens cause this change

00:44:49.540 screens give a constant dopamine

00:44:51.080 stimulation our brains reward

00:44:53.900 systems are are rewired you've got

00:44:57.600 kids now and adults who actually

00:44:59.600 cannot sit and read they can't sit

00:45:03.440 and think

00:45:04.360 contemplate

00:45:06.100 just the very concept of that

00:45:09.780 and we know that people have

00:45:12.120 stopped reading it's like it

00:45:13.260 doesn't even exist we got i think

00:45:14.420 we have a we have a whole we

00:45:16.040 already have an entire generation

00:45:17.480 of americans who are subliterate

00:45:19.080 uh even if they can read they don't

00:45:21.840 and that's only going to get worse

00:45:24.260 i mean we are very soon going to have

00:45:27.280 whole generations of americans who

00:45:28.380 have never read a book

00:45:29.240 ever not not not ever i think we

00:45:32.820 already have that so we know that

00:45:35.320 but i but i think even more

00:45:36.400 disturbing is uh

00:45:37.600 you think about the number of people

00:45:40.780 especially young people again not just

00:45:42.080 them but

00:45:42.500 who have never had the experience

00:45:45.800 i mean honestly have never had the

00:45:47.820 experience

00:45:48.380 of sitting somewhere

00:45:51.000 and just thinking

00:45:52.880 just sit down and think like you're

00:45:55.980 not doing anything you're just kind

00:45:56.880 of sitting there and you're just

00:45:58.500 thinking

00:45:58.780 like that concept is foreign i think

00:46:03.640 a lot of people today it's for why

00:46:04.960 would you ever do that

00:46:05.640 but you're just sitting there you're

00:46:07.380 like sitting in your living room and

00:46:08.380 just sitting there

00:46:08.920 you're not talking to anybody you're

00:46:10.300 not looking at your phone you're not

00:46:11.300 watching anything

00:46:12.040 you're just sitting there

00:46:14.220 yeah

00:46:15.400 people used to do that

00:46:18.100 you should still do it

00:46:20.060 maybe not for 10 hours a day but

00:46:22.720 yeah this should be like

00:46:24.240 multiple times in your day

00:46:26.100 when you're just kind of sitting

00:46:28.240 somewhere and you're thinking

00:46:29.400 like thinking is an activity that

00:46:31.240 you should do

00:46:32.000 you should actively do and enjoy it

00:46:34.920 so um

00:46:38.680 but that doesn't happen anymore

00:46:42.240 so and you have people that just

00:46:43.820 can't do it they're like crack addicts

00:46:45.420 they need constant stimulation

00:46:46.640 they need the in the images the

00:46:48.800 sounds the the light

00:46:50.040 right that's part of the problem

00:46:51.960 the other part is the way that our

00:46:52.960 attention is fragmented

00:46:54.200 multiple screens going at the same

00:46:56.720 time now you know

00:46:58.000 notifications the feed

00:47:00.280 infinite scrolling

00:47:01.200 a million bits of information

00:47:03.120 bombarding us at all

00:47:04.580 hours of the day

00:47:06.120 we were never made

00:47:08.180 human beings are not adapted to

00:47:10.420 this

00:47:10.700 we were never made to consume this

00:47:12.580 much information

00:47:13.260 i mean you consume more information

00:47:15.820 in a week than most humans did an

00:47:17.320 entire lifetime

00:47:17.960 that is not

00:47:18.860 it's not making us smarter

00:47:20.240 we're not made we're not built for

00:47:22.040 it

00:47:22.240 um

00:47:24.680 and probably most of all the

00:47:27.780 screens are a vector for

00:47:29.080 passive consumption

00:47:30.260 why is everybody so passive these

00:47:32.340 days why are kids young adults

00:47:33.980 in particular so passive so

00:47:36.040 nihilistic

00:47:36.720 i don't care about anything i have

00:47:38.760 no ambition no goals

00:47:39.820 just don't care about anything

00:47:41.460 what we spend all day passively

00:47:44.520 consuming

00:47:45.020 look at the phone at the screen

00:47:47.580 passive consumption

00:47:49.780 it's not active

00:47:51.320 you're not engaging

00:47:52.260 you aren't doing

00:47:54.500 even reading

00:47:56.460 is

00:47:56.980 is

00:47:57.500 much more

00:47:58.940 active

00:47:59.560 you're you are doing something

00:48:00.800 you're reading

00:48:01.360 i know you might say well if i'm

00:48:03.120 scrolling through the phone i'm

00:48:04.080 reading things it's not the same

00:48:05.260 no that's just you receiving

00:48:07.760 it's like it requires no effort

00:48:09.220 there's a reason why and again you

00:48:11.780 should try this sometime if you've

00:48:12.860 never done it or haven't done it a

00:48:13.960 long time

00:48:14.260 um if you

00:48:17.500 late at night

00:48:19.680 sit down on the couch

00:48:22.260 or sit up on your bed

00:48:24.400 and read a book

00:48:25.680 an actual real book physical book

00:48:28.620 you'll get tired

00:48:30.160 pretty quickly

00:48:32.220 you'll start to

00:48:34.140 you'll start to

00:48:34.860 to feel tired

00:48:36.120 if you sit there though and pull

00:48:38.920 out your phone

00:48:39.480 well you could sit there for

00:48:41.820 even though you're kind of tired

00:48:43.060 you could sit there for three

00:48:43.780 hours staring at your phone and

00:48:44.660 not fall asleep

00:48:45.240 why is that well because the

00:48:47.820 reading is active

00:48:49.240 you're actually using your brain

00:48:50.660 and it makes you tired

00:48:51.620 especially if you're already

00:48:52.880 tired at the end of the day

00:48:53.720 that's a good thing

00:48:55.160 but the phone is not you're not

00:48:57.080 actually using your brain

00:48:58.060 that's why it doesn't make you

00:48:58.660 tired

00:48:58.920 um

00:49:01.840 and this is only going to get

00:49:04.560 worse

00:49:04.800 and then and then ai is the

00:49:06.220 death knell

00:49:06.680 i hate to be such a bummer

00:49:09.220 i know you're used to it by now

00:49:10.340 if you listen to the show

00:49:10.940 but the education system

00:49:13.080 is over

00:49:14.980 in its in its current form

00:49:17.360 hopefully there's some other form

00:49:19.520 that we can develop

00:49:22.240 that will rescue this thing

00:49:24.040 i think we already have it it's

00:49:25.740 called homeschooling

00:49:26.400 the education system

00:49:27.820 the mass education system

00:49:29.480 it's over

00:49:30.340 it's just done

00:49:31.400 it is done

00:49:33.120 um

00:49:34.600 if you're a parent today

00:49:36.480 if you're a parent about my age

00:49:37.780 and you have young kids

00:49:38.560 and you're trying to decide

00:49:39.660 what to do for their education

00:49:40.980 you cannot put them in the

00:49:42.100 public school system

00:49:42.680 you can't do it

00:49:43.200 it's over

00:49:43.580 your kid will not learn anything

00:49:45.720 that is over

00:49:46.900 that's a thing of the past

00:49:47.720 it doesn't exist anymore

00:49:48.640 it really doesn't

00:49:49.780 because you've got all the

00:49:51.860 problems we've already gone over

00:49:52.940 including all the problems

00:49:54.880 that already existed

00:49:55.620 with the education system

00:49:56.620 i mean it's been a left-wing

00:49:58.520 indoctrination center

00:49:59.400 for a long time

00:50:00.240 even when i was a kid

00:50:01.020 but you add AI

00:50:03.120 into this thing now

00:50:04.240 it's like no one's

00:50:05.000 going to learn anything

00:50:05.620 the kids are just not

00:50:07.080 going to learn

00:50:07.400 they don't have to

00:50:08.020 they got this thing

00:50:09.040 that will think for them

00:50:09.760 and so it's done

00:50:11.480 it's over

00:50:11.800 and there's there's no way

00:50:13.140 for a mass education system

00:50:14.960 with millions and millions

00:50:16.060 of kids in it

00:50:16.740 50 million kids

00:50:17.460 or whatever it is

00:50:18.000 there's no way for them

00:50:19.620 to control for that

00:50:20.640 at a very localized level

00:50:23.460 you can

00:50:23.920 at a very localized level

00:50:25.000 you can for the most part

00:50:26.240 control for that

00:50:26.920 you can provide an education

00:50:28.340 to your kids

00:50:29.000 where that is not

00:50:30.340 going to be supplanted

00:50:31.040 by AI

00:50:31.560 you can prevent them

00:50:32.500 from using AI

00:50:33.620 to do everything

00:50:34.420 right

00:50:35.260 you can take the screens

00:50:36.060 away

00:50:36.220 you can control

00:50:36.720 how much they use

00:50:37.300 the screens

00:50:37.620 you can do that

00:50:38.200 at a very localized

00:50:38.960 controlled level

00:50:40.440 in some circumstances

00:50:42.380 in some private schools

00:50:43.300 you could do it too

00:50:44.000 but public

00:50:46.560 kind of assembly line

00:50:48.840 factory style education

00:50:50.140 over it

00:50:50.680 done

00:50:50.960 doesn't work

00:50:51.520 it's over

00:50:51.860 and if you send your kid

00:50:53.620 to public school now

00:50:54.260 then you're just choosing

00:50:55.000 for them not to learn anything

00:50:55.960 because they won't

00:50:56.680 I promise you that

00:50:58.340 you may as well

00:50:59.580 not send them

00:51:00.060 to school

00:51:00.880 honestly

00:51:01.460 you may as well

00:51:02.480 just do whatever

00:51:03.040 unschooling

00:51:03.800 just keep them home

00:51:05.000 and they'll learn

00:51:05.660 what they pick up

00:51:06.360 on their own

00:51:06.740 which isn't much

00:51:07.340 but it's really

00:51:08.200 the same thing

00:51:08.880 honestly

00:51:10.240 and that's not me

00:51:14.600 being dramatic at all

00:51:15.440 it's just a fact

00:51:16.580 so

00:51:18.100 and if you're sitting there

00:51:20.340 and you're thinking

00:51:20.660 as a parent

00:51:21.060 well I have no choice

00:51:21.620 but to send my kids

00:51:22.140 to public school

00:51:22.660 you know

00:51:23.300 okay

00:51:24.420 but I'm just telling you

00:51:25.420 the truth of the matter

00:51:26.420 you're starting

00:51:28.220 your six-year-old kid

00:51:29.100 five-year-old kid

00:51:29.860 on the public school journey

00:51:30.980 right now

00:51:32.260 in the year 2026

00:51:33.100 they're not gonna learn anything

00:51:34.440 it's a waste of time

00:51:35.820 did you know

00:51:37.020 the U.S. government

00:51:37.700 once classified

00:51:38.840 encryption as a weapon

00:51:40.240 that's right

00:51:40.860 protecting your own privacy

00:51:42.260 was treated like

00:51:43.000 owning a missile

00:51:43.800 but here's the thing

00:51:44.640 encryption is a weapon

00:51:46.340 a shield against

00:51:47.600 the digital predators

00:51:48.680 who track

00:51:49.400 sell

00:51:49.780 and exploit your data

00:51:50.740 you can defend

00:51:51.580 your online privacy

00:51:52.320 like I do

00:51:52.900 with our sponsor

00:51:53.660 ExpressVPN

00:51:54.680 I use ExpressVPN

00:51:55.600 all the time

00:51:56.640 especially when I'm traveling

00:51:57.700 and doing my show research

00:51:58.940 on public Wi-Fi

00:51:59.940 like airports

00:52:00.640 it's nice to know

00:52:01.500 I can still do a deep dive

00:52:02.760 without worrying

00:52:03.660 about who could potentially

00:52:04.560 see my data

00:52:05.420 or steal my sensitive information

00:52:07.240 ExpressVPN

00:52:08.420 locks down your connection

00:52:09.920 so nobody can spy on you

00:52:11.400 track what you do

00:52:12.260 or profit from your private life

00:52:13.740 without it

00:52:14.340 you're practically

00:52:14.820 handing over your data

00:52:16.620 to the highest bidder

00:52:17.680 your internet provider

00:52:19.060 can legally sell

00:52:20.060 your browsing history

00:52:20.780 to whoever pays

00:52:21.540 data brokers stalk you

00:52:23.060 across every website

00:52:23.900 politicians and foreign

00:52:25.100 governments can scoop up

00:52:26.280 your info in seconds

00:52:27.480 it's a massive industry

00:52:28.920 built on invading

00:52:29.880 your privacy

00:52:30.440 and they're counting

00:52:31.060 on you not fighting back

00:52:33.080 ExpressVPN

00:52:33.620 that's how you fight back

00:52:35.220 it encrypts your traffic

00:52:36.440 and routes it

00:52:37.220 through secure servers

00:52:38.260 so you stay invisible

00:52:39.680 to the data vultures

00:52:41.340 right now

00:52:41.760 it's the best price

00:52:43.020 it's ever been

00:52:43.580 just $3.49 a month

00:52:45.280 less than 12 cents a day

00:53:02.980 moving to something

00:53:03.980 significantly less important

00:53:06.560 and I imagine

00:53:07.500 this will be the last time

00:53:08.340 that I talk about

00:53:08.840 the Olympics

00:53:09.220 I hadn't planned

00:53:10.240 to bring up

00:53:10.620 the Olympics again

00:53:11.400 it's not really worth

00:53:12.860 bringing it up

00:53:13.320 but I saw this

00:53:14.060 and I have to just

00:53:14.860 I have to at least

00:53:16.460 mention it

00:53:16.900 I hadn't seen it

00:53:18.860 or noticed it

00:53:19.380 until now

00:53:19.840 there are these clips

00:53:20.720 going around

00:53:21.260 of Team Canada

00:53:22.200 after the hockey game

00:53:25.420 which they lost

00:53:26.660 in case you forgot

00:53:27.640 they lost

00:53:28.280 but they were receiving

00:53:30.500 their silver medals

00:53:31.280 and as part of the

00:53:33.160 medal ceremony

00:53:33.860 where they received

00:53:34.560 the medals

00:53:35.020 they also

00:53:35.640 each of them

00:53:36.420 received a stuffed animal

00:53:37.940 they were handing out

00:53:40.200 stuffed animals

00:53:41.000 to these grown men

00:53:41.980 these hockey players

00:53:42.900 along with their

00:53:45.100 Olympic medals

00:53:45.660 and I saw this clip

00:53:47.340 and I thought

00:53:47.700 maybe it was AI

00:53:48.480 or something at first

00:53:49.220 because it just

00:53:49.580 made no sense

00:53:50.360 but it's not

00:53:51.920 it's real

00:53:52.380 this is what

00:53:54.480 they've been doing

00:53:54.840 at the Olympics

00:53:55.180 apparently they've been

00:53:56.220 doing it the whole time

00:53:56.860 where they've been

00:53:57.300 giving stuffed animals

00:53:58.560 to all of the

00:53:59.620 participants

00:54:02.040 USA Today reports

00:54:04.100 the medal ceremonies

00:54:04.820 at the 2026

00:54:05.680 Winter Games

00:54:06.280 have looked different

00:54:07.260 from past

00:54:07.780 Olympic ceremonies

00:54:08.760 not only do athletes

00:54:09.480 get their medals

00:54:10.120 but they earn

00:54:10.900 a commemorative

00:54:11.780 stuffed animal

00:54:12.780 as well

00:54:13.540 the animal in question

00:54:15.740 Tina the stoat

00:54:16.940 one of the official

00:54:18.960 mascots of the

00:54:19.740 Milano-Crotina

00:54:20.440 games

00:54:21.280 I don't know

00:54:22.920 what a stoat is

00:54:24.060 there's a stoat

00:54:26.940 let's find out

00:54:28.120 the stoat

00:54:30.600 also known as

00:54:31.280 the Eurasian

00:54:32.140 Ermine

00:54:32.980 or Ermine

00:54:33.800 is a species

00:54:34.400 of mustelid

00:54:35.300 native to Eurasia

00:54:36.320 in the northern regions

00:54:37.180 of North America

00:54:38.080 okay so I still

00:54:38.800 don't know what it is

00:54:39.400 I just read what it is

00:54:40.760 and I still

00:54:41.140 I even

00:54:41.640 I know even less now

00:54:42.760 what a stoat is

00:54:43.600 it looks like a

00:54:44.120 it's like a ferret

00:54:44.700 okay it's a ferret

00:54:45.520 so they give a

00:54:45.960 they give a stuffed ferret

00:54:47.920 to all the

00:54:48.980 the athletes

00:54:49.720 and here's what that

00:54:51.380 looked like

00:54:52.180 a quick clip

00:54:52.900 let's watch it

00:54:54.140 it's a grown man

00:55:07.880 it's a grown man

00:55:07.900 giving stuffed animals

00:55:08.940 to other grown men

00:55:09.880 who are visibly confused

00:55:11.340 by the whole thing

00:55:12.960 I've never felt bad

00:55:15.320 for Canadians before

00:55:16.380 but I actually do

00:55:17.940 a little bit

00:55:18.500 watching that

00:55:19.140 and who thought

00:55:20.600 this was a good idea

00:55:21.420 who thought it was

00:55:22.520 a good idea

00:55:22.920 I want to know

00:55:23.360 what the conversation

00:55:24.300 was

00:55:25.080 what was the conversation

00:55:27.160 over at the

00:55:27.880 Olympic committee

00:55:28.640 where they decided

00:55:31.000 to do this

00:55:31.820 because someone

00:55:33.600 had to suggest this

00:55:34.440 somebody had to

00:55:34.960 have this idea

00:55:35.780 this bright idea

00:55:36.700 and then persuade

00:55:38.400 everybody else

00:55:39.320 I assume

00:55:39.840 I assume it wasn't

00:55:40.500 all of them together

00:55:41.760 spontaneously coming up

00:55:43.560 with the idea

00:55:43.940 to give stuffed animals

00:55:44.860 to all of the

00:55:45.540 grown adult athletes

00:55:48.060 somebody at a meeting

00:55:51.240 had to go

00:55:51.700 hey you know

00:55:52.080 what would be

00:55:52.380 really cute

00:55:52.960 you know

00:55:53.700 what would be

00:55:53.940 really fun

00:55:54.560 let's give the

00:55:55.700 athletes stuffed animals

00:55:56.900 you know

00:55:58.080 stuffed animals

00:55:59.940 like those things

00:56:00.620 you give four year olds

00:56:01.560 you know

00:56:01.760 the things

00:56:02.500 that if you gave

00:56:02.960 a four year old

00:56:03.680 the four year old

00:56:04.520 would be really happy

00:56:05.220 let's give those

00:56:06.760 to grown adult

00:56:07.920 male athletes

00:56:09.080 on camera

00:56:10.780 and somehow

00:56:14.740 everybody else

00:56:15.360 in the room

00:56:15.760 didn't respond

00:56:16.640 by saying

00:56:17.140 what

00:56:17.420 what the hell

00:56:19.340 are you talking about

00:56:20.220 what

00:56:21.060 should we give them

00:56:21.640 coloring books

00:56:22.400 next

00:56:22.820 should we give them

00:56:24.140 coloring books

00:56:24.860 and lollipops

00:56:25.840 is that

00:56:27.940 maybe

00:56:28.340 we break

00:56:29.040 like at the dentist

00:56:30.020 there's like a

00:56:31.800 basket of trinkets

00:56:32.940 and you can get

00:56:34.220 a coloring book

00:56:34.960 or a lollipop

00:56:35.740 or like a little

00:56:36.200 bouncy ball

00:56:37.060 no they didn't

00:56:39.620 respond that way

00:56:40.180 instead they said

00:56:40.840 hmm

00:56:41.180 you know

00:56:41.620 that's a great idea

00:56:43.200 I don't think

00:56:43.800 that's weird at all

00:56:44.580 now that couldn't

00:56:45.300 possibly be weird

00:56:46.140 you know

00:56:48.580 this idea

00:56:48.980 had to come

00:56:49.440 from a woman

00:56:49.900 it just did

00:56:50.540 no offense

00:56:53.120 but we all

00:56:53.500 know

00:56:53.740 and I looked

00:56:55.800 it up

00:56:56.180 and sure

00:56:56.720 enough

00:56:57.080 the Olympic

00:56:58.980 committee

00:56:59.300 is headed

00:57:00.780 by a woman

00:57:01.360 for the first

00:57:01.880 time ever

00:57:02.220 so a woman

00:57:03.120 took over

00:57:03.580 the International

00:57:04.280 Olympic Committee

00:57:04.820 like a year

00:57:05.680 or two ago

00:57:06.220 for the first

00:57:07.180 time ever

00:57:07.640 and it's just

00:57:08.580 a coincidence

00:57:09.160 that now

00:57:09.960 we're giving

00:57:10.260 stuffed animals

00:57:11.240 to the athletes

00:57:13.300 this is

00:57:15.020 I don't know

00:57:15.260 if I were

00:57:15.500 to try to

00:57:16.980 come up

00:57:17.200 with an

00:57:17.420 illustration

00:57:17.880 of the

00:57:19.040 continued

00:57:20.860 feminization

00:57:21.640 of every

00:57:22.220 aspect of

00:57:22.720 society

00:57:23.060 I don't

00:57:23.380 think I

00:57:23.620 could come

00:57:24.000 up with

00:57:24.200 a better

00:57:24.580 illustration

00:57:25.140 than that

00:57:25.580 hockey players

00:57:26.880 handed little

00:57:27.540 plushies

00:57:28.220 male hockey

00:57:31.000 players

00:57:31.380 bleeding

00:57:32.260 bleeding

00:57:33.560 from their

00:57:34.980 faces

00:57:35.580 teeth broken

00:57:37.000 having just

00:57:38.600 battled on

00:57:39.260 the ice

00:57:39.720 in the

00:57:40.340 Olympic

00:57:40.900 gold medal

00:57:41.540 hockey game

00:57:42.260 being handed

00:57:43.980 cute little

00:57:44.620 commemorative

00:57:45.500 plushies

00:57:46.160 it is

00:57:49.340 pretty

00:57:50.840 humiliating

00:57:51.400 speaking of

00:57:53.080 humiliating

00:57:53.620 AOC

00:57:54.500 last thing

00:57:55.640 I'll mention

00:57:56.040 embarrassed

00:57:56.540 herself last

00:57:57.240 week on

00:57:57.600 the global

00:57:57.940 stage

00:57:58.480 among other

00:57:59.820 things

00:58:00.260 she didn't

00:58:00.960 know where

00:58:01.400 the equator

00:58:02.000 is located

00:58:03.620 and she

00:58:05.420 was asked a

00:58:05.840 question about

00:58:06.220 I think

00:58:06.400 China

00:58:06.780 completely

00:58:07.800 froze

00:58:08.380 it just

00:58:09.520 embarrassed

00:58:09.880 herself in

00:58:10.360 general

00:58:10.640 well all

00:58:11.720 the criticism

00:58:12.220 has really

00:58:12.540 gotten to

00:58:13.000 her and

00:58:13.720 so she

00:58:14.200 posted this

00:58:14.980 clapback

00:58:16.160 as they

00:58:17.080 say and

00:58:17.940 here it

00:58:19.340 is

00:58:19.520 if you

00:58:21.820 think that

00:58:22.280 I don't

00:58:22.560 understand

00:58:23.200 foreign

00:58:23.580 policy

00:58:24.080 because out

00:58:25.280 of hours

00:58:26.240 of discourse

00:58:27.280 about

00:58:27.760 international

00:58:28.280 affairs

00:58:28.840 I pause

00:58:30.040 to think

00:58:30.620 about one

00:58:31.900 of the

00:58:32.140 most sensitive

00:58:32.860 geopolitical

00:58:33.760 issues

00:58:34.300 that currently

00:58:35.360 exist on

00:58:36.440 earth

00:58:36.860 I'm afraid

00:58:38.400 the issue

00:58:38.840 is not

00:58:39.200 my

00:58:39.460 understanding

00:58:40.100 but rather

00:58:41.600 the problem

00:58:42.720 is perhaps

00:58:43.880 you've gotten

00:58:44.520 adjusted

00:58:45.020 to a

00:58:45.820 president

00:58:46.220 that never

00:58:47.300 thinks before

00:58:48.100 he speaks

00:58:48.760 what was

00:58:53.680 the sound

00:58:54.000 in the

00:58:54.180 background

00:58:54.480 that's

00:58:56.100 really the

00:58:56.360 headline

00:58:56.620 here

00:58:56.900 what was

00:58:57.880 the sound

00:58:58.240 in the

00:58:58.420 background

00:58:58.700 how is

00:58:59.620 that not

00:58:59.900 the headline

00:59:00.300 what was

00:59:01.300 that

00:59:01.540 I don't know

00:59:03.740 if that was on

00:59:04.100 our playback

00:59:04.540 or that was in

00:59:05.100 the video

00:59:05.380 I think that

00:59:05.700 was in the

00:59:05.980 video

00:59:06.280 was AOC

00:59:11.220 just blowing

00:59:11.880 farts the whole

00:59:12.580 time

00:59:12.900 was she blowing

00:59:13.860 a succession

00:59:14.860 of farts

00:59:15.480 shamelessly

00:59:16.300 through the

00:59:16.580 whole video

00:59:17.040 it's her

00:59:21.480 husband snoring

00:59:22.120 oh suppose

00:59:23.780 well how do

00:59:24.220 you know

00:59:24.440 that we

00:59:24.820 don't know

00:59:25.080 that it

00:59:26.140 could have

00:59:26.320 been farts

00:59:26.660 we don't

00:59:26.940 know

00:59:27.240 what

00:59:28.780 Ben talked

00:59:33.540 about it

00:59:34.220 well how does

00:59:36.880 he know

00:59:37.220 does he have

00:59:38.660 like insider

00:59:39.140 info

00:59:39.580 into this

00:59:41.400 did anyone

00:59:42.400 ask AOC

00:59:43.040 was I

00:59:44.080 don't know

00:59:44.520 it could

00:59:44.800 be

00:59:44.960 it could

00:59:45.480 be

00:59:45.600 I mean

00:59:45.920 to me

00:59:46.280 it sounded

00:59:46.600 like farts

00:59:47.080 I don't

00:59:47.460 know

00:59:47.620 I'm

00:59:48.220 not an

00:59:49.020 expert

00:59:49.240 in these

00:59:49.540 things

00:59:49.900 it sounded

00:59:50.660 like

00:59:50.880 it sounded

00:59:51.300 like she

00:59:51.660 was

00:59:51.860 I was

00:59:52.380 gonna say

00:59:52.660 I was

00:59:52.780 actually

00:59:52.960 gonna give

00:59:53.180 a little

00:59:53.400 credit

00:59:53.640 for that

00:59:54.060 honestly

00:59:54.560 it'd be

00:59:56.220 the only

00:59:56.440 relatable

00:59:56.780 thing

00:59:57.020 she's

00:59:57.200 ever

00:59:57.320 done

00:59:57.640 just

00:59:58.700 shamelessly

00:59:59.380 she's

00:59:59.620 she's

00:59:59.920 up at

01:00:00.660 night

01:00:01.000 talking

01:00:02.660 into her

01:00:03.000 phone

01:00:03.340 blowing

01:00:03.700 farts

01:00:04.180 shameless

01:00:04.800 maybe

01:00:08.660 there's

01:00:08.800 somebody

01:00:08.960 playing

01:00:09.240 the

01:00:09.380 trombone

01:00:09.860 in the

01:00:10.080 room

01:00:10.260 it could

01:00:10.440 have

01:00:10.500 been

01:00:10.600 that

01:00:10.780 too

01:00:11.020 okay

01:00:14.200 so it

01:00:14.540 was her

01:00:14.880 she's not

01:00:15.420 even married

01:00:15.840 her boyfriend

01:00:16.380 whatever

01:00:16.760 snoring

01:00:17.980 so so

01:00:18.780 then what

01:00:19.080 is that

01:00:19.380 so her

01:00:19.900 her boyfriend

01:00:21.320 is

01:00:23.020 asleep

01:00:24.580 passed out

01:00:27.560 snoring

01:00:28.080 and she

01:00:29.060 decides to

01:00:29.600 just get

01:00:29.980 up and

01:00:30.340 film a

01:00:30.820 selfie

01:00:31.140 video

01:00:31.620 in bed

01:00:32.780 next to

01:00:33.960 the guy

01:00:34.340 in any

01:00:37.340 case if

01:00:37.740 we can

01:00:37.920 leave

01:00:38.100 aside

01:00:38.480 whoever

01:00:40.180 was

01:00:40.460 farting

01:00:40.900 snoring

01:00:41.480 snorting

01:00:41.940 there

01:00:42.200 her

01:00:42.960 response

01:00:43.400 is pretty

01:00:43.740 weak

01:00:44.020 I think

01:00:44.300 we have

01:00:44.540 to say

01:00:44.840 she

01:00:45.060 she didn't

01:00:45.540 know

01:00:45.700 she didn't

01:00:46.040 know where

01:00:46.300 the equator

01:00:46.720 is

01:00:47.220 she didn't

01:00:48.360 know anything

01:00:48.660 about geopolitics

01:00:49.620 and her

01:00:50.780 response is to

01:00:51.480 say hey

01:00:51.920 you know

01:00:52.560 the problem

01:00:53.740 is you

01:00:54.200 hey if

01:00:55.100 you think

01:00:55.420 I'm the

01:00:55.780 dumb

01:00:55.980 one

01:00:56.320 because I

01:00:57.780 don't know

01:00:58.000 what the

01:00:58.260 equator

01:00:58.620 is

01:00:59.100 well the

01:01:00.820 problem

01:01:01.140 is you

01:01:01.500 you might

01:01:02.300 you might

01:01:03.520 think I'm

01:01:03.980 really stupid

01:01:04.620 because I

01:01:05.220 don't know

01:01:05.680 anything

01:01:06.060 you might

01:01:07.120 think that

01:01:07.720 but hey

01:01:08.080 joke's on

01:01:08.800 you

01:01:09.160 you might

01:01:11.660 think that

01:01:12.080 I am the

01:01:12.560 dumb one

01:01:12.900 because I

01:01:13.180 have the

01:01:13.460 IQ of a

01:01:14.180 sea urchin

01:01:14.700 but but

01:01:15.600 actually

01:01:16.100 actually the

01:01:16.920 problem is

01:01:17.560 you

01:01:17.900 no the

01:01:19.600 problem is

01:01:20.000 you for

01:01:20.440 being dumb

01:01:20.940 all we're

01:01:21.960 doing is

01:01:22.420 noticing it

01:01:23.480 congresswoman

01:01:24.200 I'll tell you

01:01:27.160 one thing if

01:01:27.500 this woman

01:01:27.860 actually wins

01:01:28.500 the presidency

01:01:29.120 because obviously

01:01:30.200 she's running

01:01:30.820 if she

01:01:32.860 actually wins

01:01:33.860 it really

01:01:36.500 is over

01:01:37.060 we just

01:01:37.980 talked about

01:01:38.220 the education

01:01:38.640 system is

01:01:39.080 over the

01:01:39.580 whole country

01:01:40.000 is over

01:01:40.320 it's just

01:01:40.920 over and

01:01:42.360 and not

01:01:42.820 because she'll

01:01:43.280 destroy the

01:01:43.760 country although

01:01:44.380 she will

01:01:44.840 but more

01:01:46.260 because only

01:01:46.960 a country

01:01:47.480 that is

01:01:48.140 already

01:01:48.600 destroyed

01:01:49.420 would elect

01:01:51.140 someone who

01:01:51.840 is this

01:01:52.480 aggressively

01:01:54.140 gratuitously

01:01:55.500 incompetent

01:01:56.540 and unimpressive

01:01:58.280 and unintelligent

01:01:59.440 and frivolous

01:02:00.580 that's just

01:02:02.440 waving the

01:02:02.920 white flag

01:02:03.420 you elect

01:02:05.060 somebody like

01:02:05.480 that that's

01:02:05.920 America signaling

01:02:06.760 that it's

01:02:07.220 given up

01:02:07.580 that's America

01:02:08.140 saying all

01:02:08.680 right we're

01:02:09.220 we're about

01:02:10.380 done here

01:02:10.940 we're yeah

01:02:11.980 we're about

01:02:13.500 finished

01:02:13.980 you elect

01:02:17.380 some

01:02:17.860 ditzy

01:02:18.640 Instagram

01:02:19.720 influencer

01:02:20.460 apparently with

01:02:23.240 irritable bowel

01:02:23.920 syndrome

01:02:24.280 to be your

01:02:25.500 next president

01:02:26.120 that's just

01:02:26.780 that's waving

01:02:27.400 the white flag

01:02:28.000 but I don't

01:02:29.660 think that will

01:02:30.040 happen

01:02:30.280 that's the

01:02:30.800 good news

01:02:31.120 so I'll end

01:02:32.060 on a glimmer

01:02:32.500 of hope

01:02:32.880 but I really

01:02:33.720 don't I can't

01:02:34.920 believe that

01:02:35.780 that will

01:02:37.300 happen or

01:02:37.820 could happen

01:02:38.360 and I will

01:02:41.820 do what I can

01:02:42.460 to fight to

01:02:42.880 make sure it

01:02:43.240 doesn't happen

01:02:43.680 as we all

01:02:44.200 must as we

01:02:45.540 all must

01:02:45.900 and that will

01:02:46.700 do it for the

01:03:02.240 Indians were

01:03:02.680 peaceful

01:03:08.620 guy
