The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 703 - White Guilt Is Mandatory

00:00:00.180 Today on the Matt Wall Show, outrage over a plan by some congressional Republicans to form a caucus dedicated to preserving our Anglo-Saxon political traditions.

00:00:08.280 This is offensive because, as the new rules clearly state, anything even loosely associated with whiteness is bad.

00:00:14.720 We'll talk about and break that rule today.

00:00:16.860 Also, five headlines including a high-profile elected Democrat committing jury tampering and incitement.

00:00:21.180 Shockingly, the people who were so worried about incitement a few months ago have nothing to say about this.

00:00:25.440 And the mother of a trans boy goes viral, but the video proves the opposite of the point it's supposed to prove.

00:00:30.700 In our daily cancellation, we'll talk about the millions of Americans who apparently will cling on to their masks even after they're vaccinated because for them it's become nothing more than a security blanket.

00:00:38.840 We'll talk about that and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:49.060 Before we get going today, I want to mention that I'll be speaking at UT Austin on Thursday if I have a voice by then.

00:00:54.240 The title of my talk is Delusions of Gender, How the Left Turns Boys into Girls.

00:01:00.960 And this, again, is a talk I'm giving in Austin.

00:01:03.660 I expect a warm reception.

00:01:05.480 Hopefully not in a literal sense.

00:01:07.540 So you can go to my Twitter or Facebook page and find a link to register to attend that talk there.

00:01:11.520 Now, if you made the mistake of spending any time on the Internet over the weekend, you may have become acquainted with the latest fake controversy.

00:01:18.580 I'll read now from the NBC News article on Friday.

00:01:20.460 Get ready to be confused about what you're supposed to be offended by exactly.

00:01:24.560 But here it is.

00:01:25.940 It says a group of ultra conservative House Republicans, including Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, are discussing launching an America First caucus that would protect, quote, Anglo-Saxon political traditions.

00:01:37.120 Representative Louie Gomer of Texas told reporters that he's looking at joining.

00:01:40.400 There's an America First caucus, he said, confirming that Greene has evolved.

00:01:44.160 A seven-page organizing document that includes the group's name and a logo, first reported by Punchbowl News, whatever that is, says America is a nation with a border and a culture strengthened by a common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions.

00:01:57.040 It adds that societal trust and political unity are threatened when foreign citizens are imported in mass into a country, especially with institutional support for assimilation, without institutional support for assimilation and an expansive welfare state to bail them out should they fail to contribute positively to the country. 0.96

00:02:14.420 OK, that's it's a four page document, but that's part of what it says.

00:02:17.480 Now, if you have a fully intact brain, which has not been partially eaten by worms at this point, you'll hear that and think, OK, so what?

00:02:25.340 Yes, America First conservatives are against mass immigration.

00:02:29.240 No news there.

00:02:30.440 And that's for a good reason.

00:02:31.420 They're against it, by the way.

00:02:32.940 Yes, we're supposed to be a nation with a border and a culture.

00:02:36.560 And yes, we have Anglo-Saxon political traditions.

00:02:39.320 All of that is undeniably true.

00:02:41.040 But it's that last part, right?

00:02:43.000 Anglo-Saxon, which sent the outrage into overdrive.

00:02:46.040 The outrage followed, as it always does, the familiar path.

00:02:49.380 First, leftists on the Internet were mad and then high profile Democrats joined in and then high profile Republicans in an effort to signal that they're really good little boys and girls also joined.

00:02:59.900 Representative Adam Kissinger of Illinois said that the representatives involved in the caucus should be punished and they should have all their committee assignments taken away. 0.92

00:03:09.360 Representative Ken Buck said that the caucus plan was hateful and ignorant. 0.91

00:03:13.600 Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming called it nativist, racist, and somehow anti-Semitic. 0.97

00:03:19.140 I don't know.

00:03:20.080 And House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy called it a nativist dog whistle.

00:03:24.920 And then the Democrats came over and patted them all on their heads and gave them lollipops, I guess, because that's what they were hoping for.

00:03:30.820 Finally, the inevitable conclusion to this familiar saga.

00:03:35.040 As NBC News again reports, now this was yesterday, they said two far-right House Republicans linked to a document calling for the protection of Anglo-Saxon political traditions distanced themselves from what they said was a draft of prescriptions for an America First caucus.

00:03:48.620 Representative Paul Gosar said in a Saturday statement that he did not author the document and that he became aware of it only after it was reported by the news media, saying he'll continue to work on America First issues in the House Freedom Caucus.

00:04:01.400 He said, quote, let me be perfectly clear, I did not author this paper.

00:04:04.500 In fact, I first became aware of it by reading about it in the news yesterday like everybody else.

00:04:07.780 In addition, Nick Dyer, a spokesperson for Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, said in a statement that the document was merely an early planning proposal and nothing was agreed to or approved.

00:04:19.220 All right.

00:04:19.700 Now, it's unfortunate that they distanced themselves as there is nothing that needs to be distanced from.

00:04:26.200 Narrowing in on the Anglo-Saxon term, it is, again, undeniably true that we have Anglo-Saxon political traditions.

00:04:33.500 Anyone who favors our system of government must also be in favor of preserving those traditions.

00:04:38.760 The critics can't really deny this.

00:04:40.200 And for the most part, they don't or aren't bothering to deny it.

00:04:43.460 Instead, they're simply insisting that we can't acknowledge this truth.

00:04:46.960 And if we do acknowledge it, we can't be proud of it.

00:04:49.240 That's the rule.

00:04:50.620 And it is a rule strictly followed by the gimp contingent on the right. 0.98

00:04:55.080 Of which of which Kevin McCarthy is is the leader.

00:04:58.400 The rest of us, though, should just ignore it.

00:05:01.520 What's the problem with Anglo-Saxon exactly?

00:05:04.880 Well, simply that it's loosely associated with whiteness.

00:05:09.100 In the minds of the left.

00:05:10.420 It doesn't mean the same thing.

00:05:12.160 There are plenty of white people who aren't Anglo-Saxon.

00:05:14.340 Plenty of people who defend and enjoy Anglo-Saxon traditions who are not white.

00:05:18.060 And would have been, by the way, invited into that caucus.

00:05:22.060 But even so, anything associated, however loosely, with the ever-broadening category known as whiteness

00:05:27.060 cannot be anything but evil.

00:05:29.820 That's the rule now.

00:05:30.500 Notice how the America First Caucus never said that only those with Anglo-Saxon ancestry can join the caucus.

00:05:39.660 No, see, for that kind of racism, you have to look to the Congressional Black Caucus, which excludes white members.

00:05:45.460 In fact, here's a Politico article from 2007.

00:05:48.840 And I think it seems relevant here.

00:05:49.900 It says, quote,

00:05:51.280 Now that he's a freshman in Congress, Cohen has changed his plans.

00:06:06.560 He said he has dropped his bid after several current and former caucus members made it clear to him that whites need not apply.

00:06:13.780 Cohen said,

00:06:14.120 I think they're real happy I'm not going to join.

00:06:18.020 It's their caucus, and they do things their way.

00:06:20.780 You don't force your way in.

00:06:22.460 You need to be invited.

00:06:23.700 Cohen said that he became convinced that joining the caucus would be a social faux pas after seeing news reports

00:06:28.140 that former Representative William Lacey Clay, a co-founder of the caucus,

00:06:32.500 had circulated a memo telling members it was, quote,

00:06:35.660 critical that the group remain, quote, exclusively African-American.

00:06:40.440 Okay, there you have a congressional caucus,

00:06:42.380 caucus, which denies entry based on race.

00:06:45.960 And yet we're supposed to accept that a caucus which denies entry to whites is not racist,

00:06:50.540 while a caucus that merely mentions Anglo-Saxon traditions is racist?

00:06:55.920 If you're still going along with these kinds of double standards and accepting them,

00:06:58.980 I don't know what to tell you.

00:06:59.880 You're a lost cause.

00:07:02.120 But I think I might sell the issue short by calling it a mere double standard.

00:07:05.780 Double standards are annoying, right?

00:07:07.240 The double standards around race, though, in this country are far worse than mere annoyances.

00:07:13.180 Again, the problem with the term Anglo-Saxon, in the minds of those offended by it,

00:07:17.960 is that they associate it with whiteness.

00:07:21.100 And whiteness, as they've made quite clear, is bad. 0.91

00:07:24.760 The message is that if you're white, the only thing you're allowed to feel about your identity is guilt.

00:07:29.700 Everybody else on earth, all other races, may feel proud of their identity in history.

00:07:35.460 They may even feel superior and declare themselves to be so publicly.

00:07:40.700 That is outright definitional racism, and it's acceptable as long as the person displaying it is not white. 0.85

00:07:47.080 For whites, the only acceptable feeling is one of guilt, remorse, and regret. 0.79

00:07:50.600 All for sins they didn't personally commit, and which, even if their ancestors did commit,

00:07:55.680 everyone else's ancestors also committed.

00:07:58.320 But all of the sins of the past, slavery, racism, conquest, which are shared by all people,

00:08:03.860 the common heritage of the whole fallen human race,

00:08:07.080 must be carried exclusively by white people. 0.85

00:08:10.540 To even protest this or object to it is racist. 0.75

00:08:13.200 To even say so much as, I'm a white man and I like being who I am, is racist.

00:08:19.480 You're not allowed to like being who you are, if you're white. 0.98

00:08:23.280 This is not defensible. It's not sustainable either.

00:08:26.720 History shows, clearly, the danger of singling out certain races and saying,

00:08:31.680 oh yeah, well, we're allowed to say certain things and do certain things and have certain attitudes,

00:08:35.860 but not you. You can't. This is for us, not you.

00:08:39.820 That has never worked out well.

00:08:41.380 Though in another sense, it has exactly the effect that is intended.

00:08:47.220 So it works out perfectly in another sense.

00:08:49.000 The point is to divide and dehumanize.

00:08:51.580 That's what's happening now.

00:08:53.380 And if you're white, all you're supposed to do in response to all of that is keep apologizing. 0.88

00:08:58.060 Which is why I must say, as a white man, I, for one, do not apologize for being who I am.

00:09:03.160 I don't accept any historical racial guilt at all.

00:09:07.280 I apologize for nothing.

00:09:08.520 I don't expect anyone else to either.

00:09:13.100 What I want is for us all to simply live under the same standard.

00:09:17.120 That's it.

00:09:18.880 And that should not be controversial.

00:09:21.080 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:09:22.480 You know, I've been telling you all about Constitution Coach for weeks now.

00:09:32.600 And really pay attention because this is your last week to get signed up for their April 25th class at ConstitutionCoach.com.

00:09:40.000 That's your last chance this week.

00:09:54.200 And the great thing is that you cover all the bases.

00:09:56.460 It's the intellectual bases.

00:09:57.620 You're learning about our history, about the Constitution.

00:09:59.260 You're also getting the physical training at the premier firearms training facility in the nation, all in the same course.

00:10:15.920 They'll do the same for anyone.

00:10:17.000 And that's why you need to not just get a gun, but learn how to carry with confidence and get the training you need to defend yourself and your family.

00:10:24.560 Go to ConstitutionCoach.com.

00:10:26.040 Rick and the Constitution Coach team have another class again on April 25th, but it's filling up fast.

00:10:29.760 So last chance, go visit ConstitutionCoach.com.

00:10:33.600 All right. 0.99

00:10:34.200 So as mentioned in the opening, Maxine Waters, perhaps the biggest scumbag in Congress. 1.00

00:10:42.900 I mean, there's a lot of competition for that title. 0.94

00:10:44.440 But I would maybe give her, I would, you know, she's in the top three, certainly.

00:10:50.180 She's in the run.

00:10:51.480 Anyway, she traveled to Minnesota.

00:10:54.840 She traveled from D.C. to Minnesota to incite a riot and intimidate jurors. 1.00

00:10:59.320 That's what she did.

00:11:00.600 A whole series of felonies she committed. 0.80

00:11:03.420 And she did it on video for everyone to see.

00:11:05.840 We can all watch it.

00:11:06.600 We'll watch it right now.

00:11:07.200 Here it is.

00:11:07.560 And so, yes, I would like to see the bill in Congress pass on police reform.

00:11:14.640 But I know that the right wing, the racist, are opposed to it.

00:11:19.780 And I don't know what's going to happen to it.

00:11:22.160 But I know this.

00:11:23.360 We've got to stay in the street.

00:11:25.200 And we've got to demand justice.

00:11:28.180 As a black man, despite all of the efforts, I feel like nothing changes.

00:11:33.280 And George Floyd is waking so many people up.

00:11:36.380 Nothing has happened, you know, despite the rhetoric.

00:11:39.340 But what needs to happen that's different this year than all the years before?

00:11:43.500 We're looking for a guilty verdict.

00:11:46.380 I am very hopeful and I hope that we're going to get a verdict that is a guilty, guilty, guilty.

00:11:55.480 And if we don't, we cannot go away.

00:11:58.260 And not just manslaughter, right?

00:11:59.780 I mean...

00:12:00.160 Oh, no, not manslaughter.

00:12:01.540 No, no, no.

00:12:02.180 This is guilty for murder.

00:12:04.420 I don't know whether it's in the first degree, but as far as I'm concerned, it's first degree.

00:12:08.240 What happens if we do not get what you just told?

00:12:11.500 What should the people do?

00:12:12.240 What should protesters on the street do?

00:12:14.020 I didn't hear you.

00:12:15.020 What happens...

00:12:15.840 What should protesters do?

00:12:17.840 Well, we've got to stay on the street.

00:12:19.920 And we've got to get more active.

00:12:22.460 We've got to get more confrontational.

00:12:25.060 We've got to make sure that they know that we need business.

00:12:29.880 More confrontational.

00:12:32.260 Can you get more confrontational than burning buildings down?

00:12:35.040 Well, we're going to find out.

00:12:35.880 By the way, she's calling for Chauvin to be found guilty of a charge that he's not charged with.

00:12:43.940 He's not charged with premeditated murder.

00:12:45.300 He's not charged with first degree murder.

00:12:48.880 That's what she wants.

00:12:49.880 So she's already setting it up.

00:12:52.420 And doing so intentionally, of course, that no matter what...

00:12:55.880 I mean, he could be found guilty on every single charge.

00:12:58.580 And that's not going to be enough because he's not...

00:13:01.840 He wasn't charged with enough crimes as far as she's concerned.

00:13:05.040 So she's already setting that up.

00:13:08.300 And of course, needless to say, if you're actually worried about truth and justice and all that kind of stuff,

00:13:16.800 it doesn't make any sense.

00:13:18.860 Leave aside the blatant jury intimidation, jury tampering she's doing here. 1.00

00:13:23.060 Like, she left.

00:13:25.440 It's not even that she's given a press conference in D.C.

00:13:27.400 That'd be bad enough.

00:13:28.040 She went to the community.

00:13:29.200 She went to the city where this trial is happening.

00:13:31.980 She went to the community where these jurors live.

00:13:34.100 And said, if you don't give us a guilty verdict, if you don't, in fact, conjure up a charge that doesn't exist

00:13:42.160 and convict them on that, then we're going to be more confrontational.

00:13:47.420 Quote, unquote, wink, wink, wink.

00:13:50.900 But if...

00:13:53.160 Even, like, leaving aside all the many crimes she committed there,

00:13:56.140 obviously, it doesn't make any sense, if you actually care about truth and justice,

00:14:01.240 to be protesting ahead of the jury verdict.

00:14:05.640 He was charged.

00:14:06.960 He had a trial.

00:14:08.000 That's what we do in this country.

00:14:09.680 And now the jury is going to weigh the evidence and come to a determination.

00:14:14.860 That's the way it's supposed to work.

00:14:19.740 You know, to demand a certain verdict doesn't make any sense.

00:14:24.120 If you cared about truth and justice, which obviously they don't.

00:14:26.260 And this is why we know, look, we've...

00:14:30.080 Closing arguments today, but the case has been presented, right?

00:14:34.020 So we can say now, officially, if you've been following the trial, as I have,

00:14:39.540 that we have seen the state present its whole case.

00:14:44.320 And I was not convinced by the state's case the whole way,

00:14:48.460 but I, you know, I at least...

00:14:51.140 I'm the one preaching we have to let the trial play out,

00:14:53.640 so I tried to allow that to happen.

00:14:56.260 Thinking, maybe, I didn't think it was going to happen,

00:15:00.260 but maybe they'll, somewhere along the line,

00:15:03.060 they'll come up with compelling evidence.

00:15:04.940 They never did.

00:15:05.760 And so now we can say, after the trial's already happened,

00:15:09.020 we've seen the state present its case,

00:15:11.640 it doesn't really have a case.

00:15:14.680 If the jury is making this decision based on the evidence,

00:15:18.140 they would acquit on all charges.

00:15:19.700 Not because they think Derek Chauvin's a great guy,

00:15:24.920 not because they want him to be back on the police force,

00:15:27.300 not even because they, you know,

00:15:30.780 they're categorically rejecting the idea that he murdered George Floyd,

00:15:34.700 but just because there's just bundles of reasonable doubt here.

00:15:41.060 Reasonable doubt all over the place,

00:15:43.980 through every facet.

00:15:47.500 It is at least, I think we can say this,

00:15:50.360 like being as conservative as we can,

00:15:54.080 it is at least reasonably plausible,

00:15:57.760 even now after seeing the state's evidence,

00:16:00.880 that George Floyd died of a drug overdose,

00:16:02.720 and nothing Chauvin did caused it.

00:16:06.820 That, that remains,

00:16:07.780 even now that remains a reasonable possibility.

00:16:13.260 Which means he should be acquitted,

00:16:14.700 but I just don't see that happening.

00:16:16.600 Because these jurors,

00:16:17.760 think about the situation they're in.

00:16:19.260 First of all,

00:16:20.860 if it were me,

00:16:25.560 there's no way I would allow myself to be on that jury.

00:16:29.280 Like, I would say whatever I had to say to not be on it.

00:16:33.720 But the situation they're in now is,

00:16:35.680 this is happening in their community,

00:16:38.380 this is where they live, 0.98

00:16:39.920 and probably they're screwed no matter what, 0.98

00:16:43.760 because like I said, 0.96

00:16:45.700 Chauvin isn't charged with first degree murder, 1.00

00:16:48.280 and that's what these morons in the street want. 1.00

00:16:51.920 And because they're morons, 1.00

00:16:53.500 or in the case of Maxine Waters, 1.00

00:16:54.980 dishonest scumbags, 1.00

00:16:55.860 and also a moron, 1.00

00:16:57.080 they're going to blame the jury 1.00

00:16:58.720 for the fact that he's not convicted of first degree murder,

00:17:00.580 no matter what happens.

00:17:02.720 But if they were to acquit on all charges,

00:17:05.660 here's what they know is going to happen.

00:17:07.800 Their lives are ruined.

00:17:10.280 And they may be killed for it.

00:17:12.940 Because their identities are going to leak,

00:17:14.780 that's going to happen really quickly.

00:17:17.480 At a minimum,

00:17:18.300 they have to leave,

00:17:19.680 basically enter witness protection,

00:17:21.340 in effect.

00:17:22.440 But this follows them for the rest of their lives.

00:17:28.120 They have to live the rest of their lives

00:17:29.260 looking over their shoulder.

00:17:32.480 To come back with acquittal

00:17:33.700 in a situation like that

00:17:34.960 would require,

00:17:36.520 I mean,

00:17:36.820 immense,

00:17:37.400 it would be one of the

00:17:41.340 greatest examples of moral courage,

00:17:44.840 I think,

00:17:45.120 that we've seen in modern times.

00:17:47.860 Really.

00:17:50.520 Just to follow the evidence

00:17:52.920 and do your job

00:17:53.780 knowing,

00:17:54.680 knowing what's going to happen because of it.

00:17:58.400 Most people don't have that kind of moral courage.

00:18:00.480 I don't know if I have it.

00:18:01.560 Like I said,

00:18:01.940 I'd be trying to get off the jury.

00:18:03.080 I got a family

00:18:05.180 I got to look out for.

00:18:08.740 Now, by the way,

00:18:09.720 hours after Maxine Waters

00:18:11.820 said that we have to get more confrontational,

00:18:14.400 there was a drive-by shooting

00:18:15.960 against the National Guard

00:18:17.000 in the city.

00:18:18.160 Hours later.

00:18:20.880 So,

00:18:21.860 I mean,

00:18:22.220 do we know that they did that

00:18:23.760 because of what Maxine Waters said?

00:18:24.960 No.

00:18:26.780 But they certainly are following her recommendation.

00:18:30.220 They're getting more confrontational.

00:18:33.080 How do you get more confrontational

00:18:34.400 with burning down buildings?

00:18:35.220 Well, 0.99

00:18:35.340 start shooting at the cops, 0.99

00:18:36.180 I guess. 0.86

00:18:36.800 The BLM,

00:18:37.360 they've been doing that.

00:18:40.480 But do it more?

00:18:41.440 Yeah.

00:18:42.580 That's one way.

00:18:45.080 Remember,

00:18:45.680 Trump at January 6th,

00:18:47.900 at his speech to the crowd,

00:18:51.220 he actually said the words.

00:18:53.880 Now,

00:18:54.340 you can speculate all you want

00:18:56.520 about his intentions

00:18:57.260 and everything else,

00:18:57.820 but he did say the words

00:18:59.160 peaceful.

00:19:00.900 He said,

00:19:01.260 we have to go,

00:19:01.800 whatever the exact phrase was,

00:19:02.920 I know for sure

00:19:03.500 he said the word peaceful.

00:19:06.060 We have to speak out peacefully,

00:19:07.560 you know,

00:19:08.140 about this,

00:19:08.940 he said.

00:19:09.900 Words to that effect.

00:19:11.040 But he put the word peaceful

00:19:12.660 in there.

00:19:15.360 So,

00:19:15.780 all you're left with

00:19:16.360 is speculation that,

00:19:17.640 yeah,

00:19:17.780 he said peaceful,

00:19:18.460 but he didn't really mean it,

00:19:19.300 and he knew that the people

00:19:20.520 in the crowd

00:19:20.900 would interpret it that way.

00:19:23.300 Well,

00:19:23.640 notice with these Democrats,

00:19:24.480 they're not even,

00:19:25.520 they're not even bothering

00:19:27.600 to say peaceful

00:19:28.560 with a wink.

00:19:29.160 They could say that,

00:19:33.080 and it would actually

00:19:33.720 make a difference.

00:19:35.280 If Maxine Waters

00:19:36.420 had flown in from D.C.

00:19:37.860 and said,

00:19:38.140 listen guys,

00:19:39.020 we're really upset about this,

00:19:40.980 and so on and so forth,

00:19:42.420 validating all their emotions,

00:19:44.640 but we have to be peaceful.

00:19:46.640 This is not the way

00:19:47.360 to go about this.

00:19:50.140 She had said something

00:19:50.720 simple like that,

00:19:51.760 it would have made a difference.

00:19:52.820 But she doesn't want peace.

00:19:57.000 It is

00:19:57.560 the omission

00:19:59.420 of that word.

00:20:01.240 It almost doesn't matter

00:20:02.040 anything else she says.

00:20:03.540 The fact that

00:20:04.060 the deafening silence

00:20:06.280 from Democrats,

00:20:07.020 that they will not come out

00:20:08.180 and even say,

00:20:09.580 let's be peaceful.

00:20:13.700 All right,

00:20:14.300 let's move on to

00:20:15.100 number two,

00:20:16.180 Chris Cuomo

00:20:16.780 on CNN

00:20:18.920 a couple days ago.

00:20:19.420 He said that

00:20:19.860 if you're a white parent,

00:20:21.080 your child might need 1.00

00:20:23.160 to be killed 1.00

00:20:23.840 in order for 1.00

00:20:24.860 the political changes

00:20:26.000 that he wants to happen.

00:20:27.820 Let's listen to that.

00:20:29.820 Because you want to

00:20:31.060 make the problem

00:20:32.000 them.

00:20:33.640 Takes the onus

00:20:34.640 off the idea

00:20:36.160 that you're wrong

00:20:37.060 about policing

00:20:38.280 not needing to change.

00:20:40.600 Forget that police

00:20:41.680 are trained

00:20:42.240 to deal with

00:20:42.940 non-compliance

00:20:43.880 with force

00:20:44.380 that is not lethal.

00:20:46.520 Hey, 1.00

00:20:46.980 comply or die. 0.99

00:20:48.220 You know what I mean? 0.65

00:20:49.660 And you know

00:20:50.220 what the answer is.

00:20:51.400 You really do.

00:20:52.500 You don't like it.

00:20:53.160 I don't like it.

00:20:53.740 It scares me.

00:20:55.820 Shootings, 0.77

00:20:57.220 gun laws,

00:20:57.900 access to weapons.

00:20:58.820 Oh, you,

00:20:59.180 I know when they'll change.

00:21:01.100 Your kids start 1.00

00:21:01.940 getting killed. 1.00

00:21:03.660 White people's kids 1.00

00:21:04.500 start getting killed. 1.00

00:21:07.480 Smoking that doobie 0.99

00:21:08.440 that's actually

00:21:09.060 legal probably

00:21:10.240 in your state now,

00:21:11.200 but they don't know

00:21:11.740 what it was

00:21:12.260 and then the kid runs

00:21:12.960 and the pop,

00:21:13.520 pop, pop, pop.

00:21:15.580 Cop was justified. 0.72

00:21:16.700 Why'd you run?

00:21:18.400 Oh, he had a baseball

00:21:19.180 game tonight. 0.61

00:21:20.100 Oh, the white kid.

00:21:21.400 Oh, big family.

00:21:22.060 That house over there.

00:21:24.740 Those start piling up.

00:21:27.640 What is going on

00:21:28.700 with these police?

00:21:30.580 Oh,

00:21:31.780 what?

00:21:32.220 Maybe we shouldn't

00:21:32.800 even have police.

00:21:33.460 that kind of mania,

00:21:35.500 that kind of madness.

00:21:37.340 That'll be you.

00:21:38.920 That'll be the majority 0.74

00:21:39.880 because it's your people.

00:21:43.660 Really?

00:21:44.140 Well, because 0.94

00:21:44.480 white people's kids 1.00

00:21:46.100 are getting killed 1.00

00:21:46.820 by the cops.

00:21:48.340 How many times

00:21:49.100 I have to explain that?

00:21:50.840 That is happening.

00:21:51.900 It's happening more often

00:21:53.020 than are 0.94

00:21:55.120 black people's kids 1.00

00:21:56.420 being killed by the cops. 1.00

00:21:58.140 More often.

00:21:59.060 It's not just happening.

00:21:59.860 It's happening

00:22:00.180 more often.

00:22:01.200 500 since 2020.

00:22:05.880 A little over 500

00:22:06.860 white people 0.97

00:22:07.380 killed by the cops. 0.99

00:22:10.400 I don't know what

00:22:11.360 the comparison

00:22:13.660 he's making there.

00:22:15.120 The kid runs away

00:22:15.880 because he's trying

00:22:16.260 to get to a baseball game.

00:22:17.740 Who?

00:22:19.560 What?

00:22:20.480 What is that

00:22:21.140 supposed to be

00:22:21.560 analogous to?

00:22:22.260 What?

00:22:23.740 Is that supposed

00:22:24.360 to be Adam Toledo?

00:22:25.620 The 13-year-old kid?

00:22:28.840 He ran

00:22:29.680 because he was trying

00:22:30.140 to get to a baseball game?

00:22:31.120 At 3 a.m.

00:22:34.620 After he was just

00:22:35.440 firing a gun

00:22:36.380 at a car?

00:22:37.940 That's why the cops

00:22:38.760 came

00:22:39.080 with Adam Toledo

00:22:40.780 and the 21-year-old

00:22:42.460 gangbanger

00:22:43.100 that he was with.

00:22:45.220 Adam Toledo

00:22:45.860 had just gotten

00:22:46.380 a Latin Kings tattoo.

00:22:48.020 You know,

00:22:48.140 he's in a gang.

00:22:49.600 A gang, by the way,

00:22:50.480 that's terrorizing the city.

00:22:52.840 And they were firing

00:22:54.620 a gun

00:22:54.920 at a passing car.

00:22:57.140 You know,

00:22:58.000 you've got to easily 1.00

00:22:58.580 kill someone 0.97

00:22:59.120 just for the sake of it. 1.00

00:23:00.000 The cops

00:23:02.080 know that.

00:23:03.040 They know

00:23:03.700 they're not there

00:23:04.420 for a kid

00:23:05.000 smoking a doobie.

00:23:09.020 To use

00:23:09.780 Cuomo's

00:23:10.580 boomer language.

00:23:11.940 They know that.

00:23:13.160 They were not

00:23:13.540 called to the scene

00:23:14.280 because someone

00:23:15.240 complained that

00:23:15.740 there are some kids

00:23:16.260 out in the street

00:23:18.040 smoking a joint.

00:23:19.740 They're called

00:23:20.340 to the scene

00:23:20.780 to a gang-infested area

00:23:23.240 because there's people

00:23:25.060 firing guns

00:23:25.800 at passing cars.

00:23:26.480 So that's what

00:23:28.780 they know.

00:23:29.660 And then they see

00:23:30.440 someone.

00:23:30.820 They don't know

00:23:31.200 if he's 30.

00:23:31.780 They don't know

00:23:32.060 his age.

00:23:32.900 In that moment,

00:23:33.700 it doesn't make

00:23:34.060 a difference.

00:23:34.460 It's someone

00:23:34.740 with a loaded gun.

00:23:37.560 No matter your age,

00:23:38.720 you're just as capable

00:23:39.680 of firing a gun 1.00

00:23:40.240 and killing somebody. 0.99

00:23:41.800 So they see 0.91

00:23:42.760 someone

00:23:43.360 with a gun

00:23:44.800 that they know

00:23:46.000 was just being used

00:23:47.040 and then he runs

00:23:50.580 and he stops

00:23:51.140 and he turns around

00:23:51.940 and ditches the gun

00:23:53.920 behind a fence

00:23:54.520 so that the cops

00:23:56.580 can't see him do it.

00:24:00.600 The implication 1.00

00:24:02.020 from idiots 1.00

00:24:03.260 like Cuomo 1.00

00:24:03.820 is that if

00:24:04.560 Adam Toledo

00:24:05.500 was white,

00:24:06.060 they wouldn't have shot. 0.91

00:24:07.720 Could they even

00:24:08.520 tell his race?

00:24:09.240 It's 3 a.m.

00:24:09.880 They're out in a

00:24:10.280 dark back alley.

00:24:12.060 Could they even tell

00:24:12.660 what his race was?

00:24:14.840 Are you suggesting

00:24:16.000 that he's a

00:24:17.040 because what this was about

00:24:18.300 for the cop

00:24:18.780 who fired the shot,

00:24:21.720 justifiably

00:24:22.920 fired the shot,

00:24:24.200 for him,

00:24:25.460 it was a matter

00:24:25.920 of self-preservation.

00:24:29.060 Confronting a suspect,

00:24:30.320 you don't know who,

00:24:31.620 got a gun

00:24:32.680 that he was just firing.

00:24:36.760 Dark alley,

00:24:38.200 he's got nowhere

00:24:39.040 to take cover.

00:24:40.300 He's totally,

00:24:40.860 this cop is totally exposed.

00:24:44.560 He knows this person,

00:24:46.000 the suspect has a gun.

00:24:46.920 He turns and

00:24:47.680 now it's just,

00:24:48.400 it's self-preservation.

00:24:49.240 Do I want to go home

00:24:49.820 and see my family tonight

00:24:50.660 or do I want to die

00:24:51.820 right now?

00:24:54.820 Do I want this,

00:24:56.420 whoever this is, 0.95

00:24:57.240 this gangster

00:24:57.740 who I don't know

00:24:58.200 who it is,

00:24:58.860 do I want them 1.00

00:24:59.460 to kill me? 0.99

00:25:00.040 Do I want to be 1.00

00:25:00.460 taken down

00:25:00.940 by this person?

00:25:02.260 That's the decision.

00:25:03.460 Now,

00:25:04.400 are you suggesting

00:25:05.180 that if he knew

00:25:06.860 the suspect,

00:25:08.440 didn't even know

00:25:08.800 it was a kid,

00:25:09.520 if he knew the suspect

00:25:10.240 was white,

00:25:10.800 he'd be more willing 1.00

00:25:11.620 to be killed?

00:25:12.220 You think that's 0.94

00:25:14.840 going to factor

00:25:15.360 into his calculation?

00:25:16.340 He's going to say,

00:25:16.820 well,

00:25:17.040 he's white,

00:25:17.820 you know,

00:25:18.000 I'll take one

00:25:18.400 for the team.

00:25:20.260 It is so delusionally

00:25:22.080 insane,

00:25:23.080 this claim.

00:25:26.580 99.999%

00:25:27.940 of police shootings,

00:25:29.540 even the unjustified ones,

00:25:31.540 it's about self-preservation

00:25:34.000 for the police.

00:25:34.720 They're trying

00:25:35.000 to save their own lives.

00:25:35.720 There are cases

00:25:38.640 where they

00:25:39.100 are a little too eager

00:25:40.940 to do that.

00:25:44.080 The Daniel Shaver case,

00:25:47.540 which,

00:25:48.260 again,

00:25:48.520 is one that

00:25:49.200 BLM completely ignores, 1.00

00:25:50.500 even though it is

00:25:51.060 the worst police shooting

00:25:52.340 ever caught on video,

00:25:53.300 to my mind.

00:25:54.680 It's certainly up there.

00:25:57.620 BLM ignores it 1.00

00:25:58.220 because Daniel Shaver

00:25:58.760 was white,

00:25:59.340 but the cops there,

00:26:00.900 did they kill him? 0.98

00:26:01.560 They were all white people 1.00

00:26:02.540 in that hallway 0.76

00:26:03.000 when they shot

00:26:04.520 Daniel Shaver,

00:26:05.020 while he was on his knees,

00:26:06.620 literally begging

00:26:07.560 for his life. 0.98

00:26:08.560 They were all white people. 0.63

00:26:09.520 Was it racially motivated?

00:26:10.520 No.

00:26:12.300 Did that cop,

00:26:13.240 you know,

00:26:14.020 go to that hallway

00:26:14.920 and he just fell

00:26:16.100 like killing someone

00:26:16.640 that day?

00:26:17.340 Probably not.

00:26:20.040 This was self-preservation,

00:26:21.220 but he wasn't willing

00:26:21.740 to take any chance at all. 1.00

00:26:22.860 He'd rather just kill this guy, 1.00

00:26:24.000 even if there was 0.99

00:26:24.720 like a .01% chance

00:26:26.200 that the guy

00:26:26.600 had a gun hidden somewhere

00:26:27.820 and was about to pull it out.

00:26:29.420 He said, 1.00

00:26:29.940 I would rather just kill him. 1.00

00:26:31.920 Doesn't make it okay. 1.00

00:26:32.780 That police officer

00:26:33.420 should have went to jail.

00:26:34.140 That was murder.

00:26:35.980 But let's just,

00:26:36.760 let's be reasonable

00:26:38.140 thinking adults

00:26:38.940 about what

00:26:39.700 motivates these kinds

00:26:41.680 of things.

00:26:45.320 Most of the time

00:26:46.200 when a cop,

00:26:46.620 even when a cop

00:26:47.020 is being overly aggressive,

00:26:48.260 why is he being

00:26:49.080 overly aggressive?

00:26:51.020 All it takes

00:26:51.740 is a basic understanding

00:26:52.760 of human psychology.

00:26:56.420 You know,

00:26:56.700 self-preservation

00:26:58.200 is an overwhelming,

00:27:00.200 overriding factor.

00:27:01.060 It can go too far.

00:27:05.480 In the case of Adam Toledo,

00:27:08.040 self-preservation

00:27:08.780 led to a tragic result,

00:27:10.120 but it didn't go too far.

00:27:11.200 He made a reasonable choice

00:27:12.980 that I submit

00:27:15.540 almost anyone else

00:27:16.600 would have made

00:27:17.040 if they were in that alley

00:27:18.380 that night

00:27:19.000 facing an unknown perp

00:27:21.260 who has a gun

00:27:22.380 that he was just firing.

00:27:23.380 All right.

00:27:27.660 Let's see.

00:27:28.160 What else do we have here?

00:27:30.520 I want to,

00:27:31.260 okay,

00:27:31.420 we're going to play,

00:27:31.820 I got to play this.

00:27:33.440 From the Hill,

00:27:34.120 it says,

00:27:34.240 the mother of a transgender boy

00:27:35.480 in Texas went viral this week

00:27:36.960 after making an emotional plea

00:27:38.280 to state lawmakers

00:27:39.260 about a bill

00:27:39.940 that would make it illegal

00:27:40.840 for parents to provide

00:27:41.800 gender-affirming health care,

00:27:43.160 gender-affirming health care,

00:27:44.380 quotes around that,

00:27:45.540 procedures for their children.

00:27:46.560 Under the bill,

00:27:46.980 parents aiding their

00:27:47.660 transgender children

00:27:48.600 in receiving medical care,

00:27:49.920 including puberty-suppressant drugs,

00:27:51.400 medical procedures,

00:27:52.200 and hormone replacement therapy

00:27:53.180 would be labeled abusers,

00:27:54.680 and their actions

00:27:55.220 would be considered a felony

00:27:56.140 if the child is under

00:27:57.520 the age of 18.

00:27:58.540 Great law.

00:28:00.040 But Amber Briggle, 1.00

00:28:01.080 who's the mother

00:28:04.400 of a quote-unquote trans boy,

00:28:05.860 didn't like it.

00:28:06.400 She spoke out

00:28:07.020 during a legislative session,

00:28:08.600 and this went viral,

00:28:11.220 a lot of you-go-girl

00:28:12.400 type of responses

00:28:13.760 from the left.

00:28:15.000 Let's listen to what she had to say.

00:28:17.800 Good afternoon.

00:28:19.060 My name is Amber Briggle,

00:28:20.580 and I am terrified

00:28:21.880 to be here today.

00:28:24.200 I'm terrified

00:28:25.040 because I'm the parent

00:28:26.160 of a transgender child,

00:28:27.500 and I'm afraid

00:28:28.400 that by speaking here today,

00:28:30.240 my words will be used

00:28:31.560 against me

00:28:32.420 should SB 1646

00:28:34.500 or SB 1311 pass,

00:28:36.900 and my sweet son,

00:28:38.360 whom I love more

00:28:39.220 than life itself,

00:28:40.500 will be taken from me.

00:28:44.840 But here I am.

00:28:47.600 I want you to know

00:28:48.680 how hard it is

00:28:49.920 for me to be here today.

00:28:51.880 Not only am I terrified

00:28:52.960 for the future of my family,

00:28:54.460 but I'm a small business owner

00:28:55.840 with two children at home

00:28:57.000 who are still going

00:28:57.780 to public school

00:28:58.400 100% online.

00:29:00.240 I have a million

00:29:01.720 better things to do

00:29:03.220 than be here today,

00:29:04.980 like rebuilding my business

00:29:06.600 and supervising

00:29:07.620 my children's online learning

00:29:09.140 and repairing the damage

00:29:10.540 that occurred to my home

00:29:11.620 when the electric grid failed.

00:29:14.820 But this committee

00:29:16.160 and the bill's authors

00:29:17.940 somehow deems my son's

00:29:19.980 private medical care

00:29:21.200 more important

00:29:22.460 than COVID relief

00:29:23.740 for women-owned small businesses

00:29:25.160 or making public schools safer

00:29:27.220 or fixing ERCOT.

00:29:28.360 Okay, I want to stop it there

00:29:29.940 for just one second.

00:29:32.340 She has about three and a half minutes.

00:29:33.820 We're not going to play

00:29:34.180 the whole thing.

00:29:35.180 I'll have some mercy on you.

00:29:36.060 But she has about three and a half minutes 1.00

00:29:37.140 to make her point,

00:29:38.840 give her a little speech. 0.99

00:29:40.560 Now we're almost

00:29:41.480 a half of the way into it,

00:29:43.600 over a third of the way into it.

00:29:46.300 And you notice what,

00:29:49.000 like a minute,

00:29:50.140 15 seconds

00:29:50.700 out of three minutes,

00:29:51.720 I,

00:29:54.000 me,

00:29:54.960 my,

00:29:56.320 this is all about her.

00:29:59.080 She spent the first third

00:30:00.280 at least

00:30:00.720 talking about herself.

00:30:03.720 That should tell you something

00:30:05.300 for these parents.

00:30:07.340 It's about them.

00:30:11.120 Okay,

00:30:11.380 this is not a coincidence.

00:30:13.860 This is almost always the case

00:30:17.720 when you listen to parents

00:30:19.040 of quote-unquote trans children

00:30:20.480 and you hear them make their case.

00:30:24.120 It's like mostly them 1.00

00:30:26.720 and then they'll throw in,

00:30:27.800 and we'll get to this in a second,

00:30:30.160 and then they'll throw in

00:30:31.140 their concerns for their child.

00:30:33.680 But the justification

00:30:34.840 for how they're treating their child

00:30:36.440 and the long-term effects

00:30:38.380 on their child

00:30:38.980 and the well-being of their child,

00:30:40.900 that's really an afterthought.

00:30:42.440 It's mostly about them.

00:30:47.600 As far as her child goes,

00:30:49.260 let's listen to

00:30:50.060 what she has to say.

00:30:51.460 My son was four years old.

00:30:52.920 He asked me if scientists

00:30:53.900 could turn him into a boy.

00:30:55.960 I didn't understand then

00:30:57.740 that he was trans.

00:30:59.700 I only knew that he wasn't

00:31:01.300 like most girls his age 1.00

00:31:02.720 and that something inside him

00:31:04.320 was hurting.

00:31:05.960 Like many of you,

00:31:07.420 I thought he was asking

00:31:08.460 for surgery

00:31:09.140 and I freaked out.

00:31:11.360 But after doing

00:31:12.300 research,

00:31:12.840 I came to understand

00:31:13.820 that gender affirmation surgery

00:31:15.440 isn't done on minors

00:31:17.240 and that there is a whole array

00:31:19.280 of medical options

00:31:20.180 available for transgender youth,

00:31:22.060 including hormone blockers,

00:31:23.380 which are 100% reversible,

00:31:25.380 are not new,

00:31:26.780 and are clinically proven

00:31:28.080 to save the lives

00:31:29.400 of the trans children 0.61

00:31:30.440 taking them.

00:31:31.080 Okay.

00:31:34.220 None of that is true,

00:31:35.200 by the way.

00:31:35.540 It's all completely false.

00:31:38.240 Now,

00:31:38.740 it may be true

00:31:39.700 that in most cases,

00:31:41.940 the surgical mutilation

00:31:44.100 is going to happen

00:31:45.660 after they turn 18.

00:31:48.300 But the conditioning

00:31:49.600 and the brainwashing 1.00

00:31:50.720 leading to that

00:31:51.700 happens when they're young.

00:31:53.040 So the fact

00:31:54.860 that you're waiting

00:31:55.500 until they turn 18

00:31:56.260 to actually do this thing

00:31:57.260 that you've conditioned them for

00:31:58.240 and brainwashed them into

00:31:59.540 for all these years,

00:32:00.320 you know,

00:32:00.460 that to me

00:32:01.200 doesn't make me feel

00:32:01.780 any better at all.

00:32:05.800 But what you're doing

00:32:06.700 before that

00:32:07.340 is drugging them.

00:32:09.440 Chemical castration

00:32:10.380 before you get to

00:32:11.240 the physical,

00:32:12.380 surgical castration.

00:32:13.940 Again,

00:32:14.480 doesn't make me feel

00:32:15.080 much better about it.

00:32:16.220 Doesn't make it any better.

00:32:18.040 What she said about

00:32:18.860 it's 100%

00:32:19.680 totally reversible.

00:32:22.340 That is BS.

00:32:25.720 She does not,

00:32:27.780 nobody actually

00:32:29.040 really knows

00:32:29.820 the full long-term

00:32:30.840 effects of this.

00:32:33.100 Because we've never

00:32:33.960 done it on anything

00:32:35.240 approaching this scale

00:32:36.400 ever before in history.

00:32:37.580 This is a new thing.

00:32:39.320 This generation of children,

00:32:40.600 they are the

00:32:41.000 guinea pig generation. 0.54

00:32:41.900 We don't actually know.

00:32:45.140 Before this,

00:32:45.880 you have scattered cases

00:32:46.860 here and there,

00:32:47.640 but this,

00:32:49.580 to this extent,

00:32:50.940 we have not had

00:32:51.780 a sample size,

00:32:53.080 put it this way,

00:32:54.060 we haven't had

00:32:54.500 a sample size

00:32:55.340 big enough

00:32:55.880 to really know yet

00:32:58.300 what the long-term

00:32:59.080 effects are.

00:33:01.480 So all of these

00:33:02.360 children with the

00:33:03.100 totally reversible

00:33:04.340 and safe

00:33:05.160 puberty blockers,

00:33:08.580 what,

00:33:08.800 what impact

00:33:10.580 is that going to have

00:33:11.160 on them 20 years

00:33:11.880 from now,

00:33:12.340 30 years from now?

00:33:13.960 You don't really know.

00:33:15.740 You don't.

00:33:16.860 You just hope

00:33:20.280 that it works out.

00:33:23.360 And even if it doesn't,

00:33:24.720 your child's

00:33:26.360 long-term

00:33:27.260 physical health

00:33:28.340 and even short-term

00:33:29.000 physical health

00:33:29.560 is a side issue.

00:33:32.500 That's not the,

00:33:32.920 that's not the primary

00:33:33.600 thing for you.

00:33:37.040 And then she says,

00:33:38.060 when my child

00:33:38.780 was four years old,

00:33:39.520 he came to me

00:33:40.020 and said,

00:33:40.440 can scientists

00:33:41.360 turn me into a girl?

00:33:42.720 Or no,

00:33:43.580 it was a girl

00:33:44.360 who's a boy now,

00:33:45.760 right?

00:33:46.760 Identifying as a boy.

00:33:48.660 Let me rephrase.

00:33:49.820 It's a girl

00:33:50.440 whose mother

00:33:51.100 has identified

00:33:51.820 her as a boy.

00:33:52.640 Okay.

00:33:53.640 So she says

00:33:54.460 that when her

00:33:55.060 daughter

00:33:56.200 was four,

00:33:58.460 she said,

00:33:58.840 can scientists

00:33:59.300 turn me into a boy?

00:34:00.860 This is

00:34:01.620 a really easy

00:34:03.500 thing to handle

00:34:04.300 as a,

00:34:04.700 as a parent.

00:34:05.580 It's not even

00:34:06.420 a difficult situation.

00:34:07.520 It's not.

00:34:08.760 Okay.

00:34:09.560 When your four-year-old

00:34:10.460 says something like that,

00:34:11.100 very easy.

00:34:13.400 I don't even want to hear,

00:34:14.920 it's,

00:34:15.840 it goes too far for me

00:34:17.180 when I hear conservatives

00:34:17.900 sometimes say,

00:34:18.600 well,

00:34:18.860 at least we have to admit

00:34:20.860 this is a difficult

00:34:21.620 situation for parents.

00:34:22.880 No,

00:34:23.240 it's not.

00:34:24.540 Especially not at that age.

00:34:27.040 Now you've got a 16-year-old

00:34:28.600 who out of nowhere,

00:34:29.700 and I've heard of cases

00:34:30.620 like this,

00:34:32.320 a 16-year-old

00:34:32.980 out of nowhere

00:34:33.540 comes home one day

00:34:34.260 and says,

00:34:34.740 I want to change genders. 1.00

00:34:35.960 That's difficult.

00:34:38.000 Of course,

00:34:38.460 the response from the parent,

00:34:39.660 you could,

00:34:39.880 you could never go along

00:34:40.760 with it,

00:34:41.580 but it's not a simple

00:34:44.100 thing to solve.

00:34:45.220 And it's going to take therapy.

00:34:46.540 It's good.

00:34:46.740 It's just that,

00:34:47.360 that is,

00:34:48.060 is difficult.

00:34:48.720 That's painful

00:34:49.160 as a parent.

00:34:50.580 For a four-year-old though,

00:34:51.900 not hard.

00:34:52.740 I don't want to hear

00:34:53.380 that it's hard.

00:34:53.860 It's so hard.

00:34:54.380 I didn't know what to do.

00:34:55.120 He's four.

00:34:56.260 She's four.

00:34:58.380 You know what you say

00:34:59.220 when,

00:34:59.480 when the daughter says,

00:35:00.300 can scientists change me

00:35:01.240 into a boy?

00:35:01.980 No,

00:35:02.500 they can't.

00:35:03.820 You're a girl

00:35:04.400 and that's,

00:35:04.780 that's a wonderful thing.

00:35:07.080 Oh,

00:35:07.420 but I,

00:35:07.680 I think I'm a boy.

00:35:09.780 It's okay.

00:35:10.400 You're a girl.

00:35:10.940 It's okay.

00:35:11.320 Go run along and play.

00:35:13.160 That's it.

00:35:14.080 That's all you have to do.

00:35:15.160 It is,

00:35:15.500 it is really that simple

00:35:16.600 and that easy.

00:35:22.840 Unless,

00:35:23.560 you know,

00:35:25.200 unless as a parent,

00:35:27.160 you were waiting

00:35:27.880 for something like that,

00:35:28.760 or maybe you planted

00:35:29.940 those seeds

00:35:30.420 in your child's head

00:35:31.100 because this is

00:35:32.960 Munchausen syndrome

00:35:34.320 by proxy

00:35:34.960 and you are planting

00:35:35.900 this gender dysphoria 0.51

00:35:36.860 in the child's head

00:35:37.920 for your own purposes

00:35:39.800 because you want to

00:35:41.480 parade your kid around

00:35:42.420 like a prop

00:35:43.280 and show the world

00:35:45.700 how enlightened you are

00:35:47.060 as parents.

00:35:51.660 But if you actually

00:35:52.640 are concerned

00:35:53.100 just for any parent,

00:35:54.660 whatever a four-year-old,

00:35:55.920 four-year-olds

00:35:56.900 are actually really easy

00:35:57.920 to deal with.

00:35:59.020 They are.

00:36:02.120 These are simple,

00:36:04.060 innocent little kids.

00:36:04.940 They're easy to deal with.

00:36:08.800 All right.

00:36:09.360 Let's,

00:36:09.900 okay,

00:36:10.160 we're going to move on

00:36:10.860 to reading

00:36:12.360 the YouTube comments.

00:36:13.980 This one is from

00:36:15.080 Fern Diaz.

00:36:15.900 It says,

00:36:16.180 thank you for calling out 1.00

00:36:16.960 the stupidity 1.00

00:36:17.540 behind the term Latinx. 1.00

00:36:19.200 I,

00:36:19.520 along with every single

00:36:20.120 friend of mine

00:36:20.520 who are Latino or Latina, 1.00

00:36:21.820 think it's idiotic 1.00

00:36:22.680 and would never use it 1.00

00:36:24.240 and would not want

00:36:25.040 anyone to use it

00:36:25.800 to describe us.

00:36:27.100 Yeah.

00:36:27.860 I have honestly

00:36:28.760 yet to hear it.

00:36:29.620 I've brought this up

00:36:30.180 several times,

00:36:31.180 you know,

00:36:32.680 on the internet

00:36:33.180 and I've,

00:36:33.540 you know,

00:36:33.680 I've just,

00:36:35.120 because I'm curious,

00:36:37.160 is there any Latino person

00:36:39.940 who actually likes this term

00:36:40.980 and uses it?

00:36:42.440 I've yet to meet

00:36:43.260 a single one.

00:36:44.020 but you wouldn't expect

00:36:49.400 that because not only

00:36:51.600 is it,

00:36:51.960 is it, 0.99

00:36:52.340 is it ridiculous, 0.95

00:36:54.800 but it also, 0.89

00:36:55.220 it doesn't make in,

00:36:56.320 it doesn't make any sense.

00:36:57.700 In the Spanish language,

00:36:58.580 it doesn't,

00:36:59.200 Latinx doesn't mean it, 1.00

00:37:00.180 it doesn't make any sense.

00:37:03.600 And it is such a gendered language 0.98

00:37:05.700 that to randomly,

00:37:06.960 you know,

00:37:09.180 de-gender this one term,

00:37:10.840 again,

00:37:11.080 makes no sense.

00:37:16.040 Audrey says,

00:37:16.760 honestly,

00:37:17.080 I support Matt's decision

00:37:18.000 to look atrocious

00:37:18.820 once every week

00:37:19.780 with that shirt.

00:37:20.520 Takes guts.

00:37:22.080 Godspeed,

00:37:22.560 brother.

00:37:23.740 Yeah,

00:37:23.860 I'm going to take that

00:37:24.300 as a compliment

00:37:24.620 because you're saying

00:37:25.060 I only look atrocious

00:37:25.660 once a week.

00:37:26.900 There are those

00:37:27.400 who would say

00:37:27.800 it's more often than that.

00:37:28.720 Jared Powell says,

00:37:32.200 your opening on this

00:37:32.780 was so true,

00:37:34.180 but legitimately depressing

00:37:35.140 to listen to.

00:37:35.940 The kid was 13

00:37:36.940 and never really had a chance.

00:37:38.840 You know,

00:37:39.220 I agree with you.

00:37:41.380 I mean,

00:37:41.660 yeah,

00:37:41.820 of course,

00:37:42.200 it's a terrible thing,

00:37:43.060 it's depressing,

00:37:43.560 it's tragic,

00:37:44.580 but when you say

00:37:45.240 the kid never had a chance,

00:37:46.400 I agree with you there too.

00:37:50.360 That's why a 13 year,

00:37:51.740 I don't blame

00:37:52.560 the 13 year old kid,

00:37:53.700 he's 13.

00:37:54.240 Right?

00:37:56.880 And you take,

00:37:58.180 take me,

00:37:59.320 take you,

00:37:59.600 take anyone

00:38:00.020 and you put them

00:38:01.900 in the environment

00:38:02.520 that this kid was in,

00:38:04.200 take the father

00:38:05.080 out of the picture,

00:38:06.520 you know,

00:38:07.140 neglect at home,

00:38:09.460 falls in with the wrong crowd,

00:38:11.120 parents don't care about it 0.88

00:38:12.140 or just aren't on the scene,

00:38:13.260 like all of that together,

00:38:14.340 all the things we talked

00:38:14.940 about on Friday.

00:38:16.380 You take any kid

00:38:17.560 and throw them

00:38:18.980 into that situation,

00:38:22.060 they can't,

00:38:24.240 could be the one

00:38:24.780 in that back alley

00:38:25.720 by the fence

00:38:26.480 holding the gun.

00:38:29.060 So yeah,

00:38:29.800 that's why,

00:38:30.460 you know,

00:38:30.580 I don't,

00:38:30.800 I don't blame the kid

00:38:32.000 at the,

00:38:32.500 13 is so young,

00:38:34.500 you know,

00:38:35.220 and your,

00:38:36.520 your ability,

00:38:37.440 that's one of the points

00:38:38.340 I always come back to

00:38:39.120 with the gender thing. 0.64

00:38:40.280 These kids are so young

00:38:41.700 and their ability

00:38:42.300 to,

00:38:42.780 to evaluate

00:38:45.460 risk and reward

00:38:47.520 and to make,

00:38:48.260 and to make mature

00:38:49.540 long-term decisions

00:38:50.600 and all that kind of stuff,

00:38:52.300 discernment,

00:38:52.940 I mean,

00:38:53.060 their ability

00:38:54.000 to do any of that

00:38:54.800 is,

00:38:56.860 shall we say,

00:38:57.160 very,

00:38:57.520 very underdeveloped,

00:38:58.580 which is why,

00:39:00.860 for me,

00:39:01.180 it goes back

00:39:01.620 to the parents.

00:39:02.500 I don't blame the kid,

00:39:03.600 I blame the parents.

00:39:05.920 The kid,

00:39:06.620 you can't expect them

00:39:07.300 to know better

00:39:07.760 given the circumstances.

00:39:10.020 The adults

00:39:10.840 around him,

00:39:11.960 you do expect them

00:39:12.760 to know better

00:39:13.260 and to do a better job

00:39:16.280 of raising their kids.

00:39:17.760 And so that's where

00:39:18.280 I put the blame.

00:39:19.920 Not on the cop,

00:39:20.880 not on the kid,

00:39:21.400 but on the parents.

00:39:23.840 Finally,

00:39:24.220 this is from Hank

00:39:24.900 who has apparently

00:39:25.960 written a poem

00:39:26.760 about my polka dot shirt

00:39:28.840 that I,

00:39:29.300 that you go through

00:39:30.400 all that effort.

00:39:30.940 I have to read it

00:39:31.520 on the show.

00:39:33.720 Here it is.

00:39:34.400 Oh,

00:39:36.480 how the interstices

00:39:37.360 of many a white dot

00:39:38.640 defy darkness

00:39:39.780 with their promise

00:39:40.580 of light and ardor,

00:39:42.120 that through the fabric

00:39:43.180 Matt's tender heart

00:39:44.320 is not,

00:39:45.240 cancelled by virtue

00:39:46.120 of this,

00:39:46.760 his knight's armor.

00:39:48.340 This majestic

00:39:49.100 men's blouse

00:39:49.960 seamed with gold

00:39:51.120 casts wide

00:39:52.600 its net

00:39:53.060 of fashion's statement,

00:39:54.840 that this his soul

00:39:56.220 so pure,

00:39:56.940 so bold,

00:39:58.220 impresses the oppression

00:39:59.200 of his critic's abatement.

00:40:01.360 And so to you,

00:40:02.100 sir,

00:40:02.540 I bid God's speed

00:40:03.600 on your departure

00:40:04.640 from your shirt

00:40:05.360 so flanneled

00:40:06.100 and pray indeed

00:40:07.520 that you may consider

00:40:08.800 my own need

00:40:09.540 that this poem

00:40:10.740 be heralded

00:40:11.420 and summarily cancelled.

00:40:14.380 Well done.

00:40:15.820 I really brought

00:40:16.580 a tear to my eye.

00:40:17.240 It actually did.

00:40:18.120 You can't see it.

00:40:18.940 I only cry

00:40:19.320 invisible tears

00:40:19.980 because I'm a man,

00:40:21.440 but it is,

00:40:22.120 I'm crying on the inside.

00:40:23.260 Beautiful.

00:40:24.760 That my,

00:40:25.300 you know what,

00:40:26.200 this is not,

00:40:27.060 that my polka dot shirt

00:40:28.300 could bring this kind

00:40:30.540 of beauty into the world.

00:40:32.180 That's a lesson

00:40:32.760 for all of us,

00:40:33.600 I think,

00:40:33.900 isn't it?

00:40:36.880 Well done.

00:40:37.500 Well done,

00:40:37.840 good sir.

00:40:38.720 Some people might be

00:40:39.580 surprised to learn this,

00:40:40.680 but I actually am,

00:40:41.600 I enjoy cooking

00:40:42.780 and I think I'm a pretty,

00:40:44.480 I'm a pretty darn good cook.

00:40:45.920 If I,

00:40:46.340 if I do say so myself.

00:40:48.860 At least that's what

00:40:49.500 my wife will tell me.

00:40:50.920 I think because she,

00:40:51.520 she likes it when I cook 0.96

00:40:52.280 so she doesn't have to,

00:40:53.040 so she flatters me.

00:40:54.060 But one thing about cooking

00:40:54.720 is that you get a lot

00:40:55.580 of appliances in the kitchen,

00:40:56.580 they take up a lot of space

00:40:57.540 and that's why

00:40:58.560 it's great to get

00:40:59.320 an appliance that kind

00:41:00.260 of can cover a lot

00:41:01.040 of the other bases

00:41:01.620 that you use other

00:41:02.220 appliances for.

00:41:03.280 Chef Emeril Lagasse's

00:41:04.380 Power Air Fryer 360

00:41:05.900 is what you gotta check out.

00:41:07.160 It's award winning

00:41:07.700 for a reason.

00:41:08.480 This is so much more

00:41:09.340 than an air fryer.

00:41:10.100 It's an air fryer,

00:41:10.820 rotisserie, toaster,

00:41:11.880 broiler, pizza oven,

00:41:13.340 and more all in one.

00:41:14.780 So you get rid of

00:41:15.220 all the other stuff.

00:41:15.960 All you need is this.

00:41:17.220 Do you love fried foods

00:41:18.540 but hate the guilt?

00:41:19.380 Well, Emeril's Air Fryer 360

00:41:21.140 cooks with hot air,

00:41:22.280 not oil,

00:41:23.040 so you can cook healthier

00:41:23.920 for,

00:41:24.600 with up to 70% fewer

00:41:25.800 calories from fat.

00:41:27.180 Plus,

00:41:27.740 it's faster than

00:41:28.380 traditional appliances.

00:41:29.700 So how do they do it?

00:41:30.360 Their 360 degree

00:41:31.580 quick cook turbo heat

00:41:33.000 technology cooks food

00:41:34.040 with a whirlwind

00:41:34.700 of superheated air

00:41:35.620 to get that great

00:41:36.960 crispy fried taste

00:41:38.680 but you're not getting

00:41:39.140 all the oils

00:41:40.240 and everything in it.

00:41:41.120 Which means that

00:41:41.760 it's not only healthier

00:41:42.480 but for me more important

00:41:43.420 than healthy

00:41:43.720 is that it is the taste

00:41:44.600 and I don't care about health,

00:41:46.440 I care about taste

00:41:46.920 and it tastes a lot better

00:41:48.660 as well.

00:41:49.480 You gotta try this yourself.

00:42:46.420 Now let's get to

00:42:46.900 our daily cancellation.

00:42:47.540 Today we're going to

00:42:51.900 cancel Slate

00:42:52.760 and the reason may seem

00:42:54.180 counterintuitive at first.

00:42:55.620 Well, there's nothing

00:42:56.160 counterintuitive about

00:42:57.300 canceling Slate in general.

00:42:58.600 You know, they could be

00:42:59.120 canceled every day

00:43:00.260 in principle

00:43:00.740 simply for existing

00:43:01.540 but the specific thing

00:43:02.700 that's causing the

00:43:04.280 cancel hammer

00:43:04.780 to come down on them

00:43:05.460 today is this article

00:43:06.520 published on Saturday

00:43:07.340 with the title

00:43:07.840 It's About Time for Us

00:43:09.220 to Stop Wearing Masks Outside

00:43:11.000 and then it says

00:43:11.980 Briefly Passing Someone

00:43:13.080 on the Sidewalk

00:43:13.680 Just Isn't Risky.

00:43:15.480 The article goes on

00:43:16.480 to make the simple case

00:43:17.320 already summarized

00:43:18.080 that wearing masks outdoors

00:43:19.920 is effectively pointless.

00:43:20.940 You almost certainly

00:43:21.900 aren't going to spread COVID

00:43:22.900 or contract it

00:43:23.620 by walking past someone

00:43:24.820 on a sidewalk.

00:43:25.900 The piece concludes

00:43:26.780 with this paragraph.

00:43:28.960 While I'm not super interested

00:43:30.580 in breaking my city's

00:43:31.700 social norms

00:43:32.460 especially while our cases

00:43:33.740 are still high

00:43:34.580 our collective agreement

00:43:36.160 to mask up

00:43:36.840 obsessively outdoors

00:43:37.800 comes at a cost.

00:43:39.100 Masking can be exhausting.

00:43:40.840 It can,

00:43:41.460 it makes recreation

00:43:42.380 really annoying

00:43:43.020 especially as the weather warms.

00:43:44.400 It makes it difficult

00:43:45.060 to escape even temporarily

00:43:46.260 from the pandemic.

00:43:47.320 It deprives us

00:43:47.960 of seeing one another's smiles.

00:43:50.060 I'm aware

00:43:50.420 that these are also

00:43:51.060 arguments deployed

00:43:51.780 by those who decry

00:43:52.520 all masking

00:43:53.120 even indoors.

00:43:54.300 But the point is

00:43:54.920 that masking

00:43:55.480 shouldn't be about

00:43:56.180 signaling what side

00:43:57.180 you're on.

00:43:58.160 It should be about

00:43:58.740 using a tool

00:43:59.380 in response to a risk.

00:44:01.120 Being overly vigilant

00:44:01.940 about masks

00:44:02.500 when they are not important

00:44:03.500 makes it more difficult

00:44:04.700 to keep wearing them

00:44:05.400 when they are.

00:44:06.060 Also I fear

00:44:06.600 that it is making us 0.92

00:44:07.340 look a little ridiculous. 0.84

00:44:09.680 Well that last point 0.95

00:44:10.680 is wrong.

00:44:11.280 I mean it doesn't make you 0.99

00:44:12.280 look a little ridiculous. 0.99

00:44:13.480 Also notice how 0.88

00:44:15.800 this is presumably

00:44:17.160 a left-wing writer

00:44:18.080 in Slate saying

00:44:18.880 I don't want to break

00:44:20.340 my town's social norms.

00:44:24.400 Oh how the cultural

00:44:25.440 radicals have fallen.

00:44:27.240 I don't want to break

00:44:28.200 isn't that your whole thing

00:44:29.960 at Slate?

00:44:30.600 Breaking social norms?

00:44:33.540 Now why am I

00:44:35.600 canceling Slate

00:44:36.120 for making an argument

00:44:36.900 that's correct

00:44:37.540 and which I myself

00:44:38.460 have been making

00:44:38.940 for months on end?

00:44:40.320 Because it's too late.

00:44:42.140 The left-wing media

00:44:43.140 has been fear-mongering

00:44:44.180 for too long

00:44:44.860 and as a result

00:44:45.380 many people in this country 0.54

00:44:46.280 have become paranoid lunatics

00:44:47.460 and there may be 0.63

00:44:48.720 no rescuing them now.

00:44:50.460 The time for sanity

00:44:51.660 was months ago.

00:44:53.740 Now this sane

00:44:54.600 and reasonable position

00:44:55.380 which is also

00:44:55.920 scientifically unassailable

00:44:57.100 was met with anger

00:44:58.580 by Slate's own readers.

00:45:00.900 Just listen to some

00:45:01.660 of the comments

00:45:02.180 under this article

00:45:02.980 when they posted it

00:45:03.620 to Twitter.

00:45:05.120 I'll read a few.

00:45:06.540 We don't wear them

00:45:07.420 to only protect ourselves

00:45:08.360 we wear them

00:45:08.840 to help protect others.

00:45:10.060 What is wrong with you?

00:45:11.840 Someone else says

00:45:12.280 wearing my mask outside

00:45:13.460 makes me feel safer.

00:45:15.060 It also helps to reduce

00:45:15.920 the amount of pollen

00:45:16.640 I'm breathing in as well.

00:45:18.060 I felt so much better

00:45:18.980 this spring.

00:45:20.240 Someone else says

00:45:20.680 actually I like wearing my mask

00:45:22.120 when I go for walks

00:45:22.880 and will be sad

00:45:23.600 to see them go.

00:45:24.640 I don't have to eat dust

00:45:26.460 or exhaust from traffic,

00:45:27.940 having 100% sunblock,

00:45:29.680 need no moisturizer

00:45:30.860 or lipstick

00:45:31.360 and see people learning

00:45:32.540 to look into each other's

00:45:33.460 windows of the soul.

00:45:36.940 Someone else says

00:45:37.640 she can say what she wants,

00:45:38.820 pre-masks when walking

00:45:40.100 behind someone

00:45:40.740 who was smoking

00:45:41.460 and they exhaled,

00:45:42.960 you got waft of smoke

00:45:44.180 in your face 0.50

00:45:44.740 if the wind was right.

00:45:46.000 COVID is no different,

00:45:47.440 only you can't see it.

00:45:48.860 If you're walking

00:45:49.340 behind someone,

00:45:50.320 you could be breathing

00:45:50.980 their exhalation.

00:45:52.820 Someone else,

00:45:53.660 is the writer a doctor?

00:45:54.900 I appreciate the citing

00:45:55.900 of studies,

00:45:56.540 but one more random

00:45:57.540 person's opinion

00:45:58.400 on how to wear masks

00:45:59.260 is unhelpful.

00:46:00.360 Why even publish this?

00:46:01.560 We have enough issues

00:46:02.260 with mask wearing generally,

00:46:04.520 regardless of whether

00:46:05.380 this opinion has any validity.

00:46:07.660 And then here's my favorite.

00:46:09.880 More clickbait BS

00:46:11.220 must be losing readers.

00:46:13.540 Only they spelled

00:46:14.280 losing L-O-O-S-N-S-I-N-G, 1.00

00:46:16.500 so it's loosing readers.

00:46:19.800 Yeah, clickbait.

00:46:20.840 Just saying,

00:46:21.340 hey guys,

00:46:21.920 we probably don't have

00:46:22.540 to wear masks outside.

00:46:23.340 That's clickbait.

00:46:24.180 Look at this.

00:46:25.060 The point is,

00:46:25.760 they see that

00:46:26.480 as not just wrong,

00:46:27.520 but like outlandish.

00:46:29.360 It is outlandishly wrong

00:46:31.240 that you shouldn't wear

00:46:33.000 a mask outside.

00:46:33.600 But so outlandish

00:46:34.940 that if you say it,

00:46:35.820 the only reason

00:46:36.600 you could possibly

00:46:37.220 be saying it

00:46:38.140 is just for clickbait.

00:46:41.440 See, it's almost terrifying

00:46:42.700 to peer even briefly

00:46:43.840 into the minds

00:46:44.560 of these disturbed

00:46:45.260 and pitiful people. 0.99

00:46:46.640 Their brains 0.99

00:46:47.360 have been broken. 0.99

00:46:49.100 They need the mask

00:46:50.220 as a security blanket

00:46:51.300 to simply walk

00:46:52.020 outside their house.

00:46:52.900 In some cases,

00:46:53.660 they're admitting

00:46:54.160 that that's the case.

00:46:55.920 At this point,

00:46:56.920 a person wearing

00:46:57.560 a mask outside

00:46:58.240 should be treated

00:46:59.140 with the same respect

00:47:00.220 as a grown man

00:47:02.000 clutching his teddy bear

00:47:03.080 while he walks

00:47:03.580 down the street.

00:47:04.220 It's exactly

00:47:04.960 the same sort of thing.

00:47:07.000 And to be clear,

00:47:07.540 we should not have

00:47:08.020 any respect

00:47:08.580 for the grown man

00:47:09.320 with the teddy bear.

00:47:11.100 Like,

00:47:11.420 our response to that

00:47:12.840 should be the same.

00:47:14.060 Imagine walking,

00:47:15.180 you see a grown man

00:47:16.540 with his teddy bear

00:47:17.940 and a pacifier

00:47:18.560 in his mouth

00:47:19.080 walking down the street.

00:47:22.040 Now, of course,

00:47:22.640 you know,

00:47:22.880 this doesn't really work

00:47:24.180 because these days

00:47:24.840 we probably would be told

00:47:25.660 that we have to have

00:47:26.240 respect for that person's

00:47:27.280 lifestyle choices.

00:47:30.060 But in saner times,

00:47:31.180 you would look at that

00:47:31.640 and say, 0.98

00:47:31.780 what the hell? 1.00

00:47:32.420 This guy's crazy. 1.00

00:47:33.240 It's the same thing. 0.99

00:47:36.160 Speaking of men

00:47:36.860 who clutch teddy bears,

00:47:37.740 a guy named Nick Knudson,

00:47:40.940 somehow his name

00:47:41.660 is just perfect.

00:47:42.300 I don't know why.

00:47:42.820 HuffPo writer

00:47:43.440 and Democrat activist

00:47:44.240 posted his outdoor mask

00:47:46.140 selfie to Twitter

00:47:46.860 along with this caption.

00:47:48.820 He says,

00:47:49.640 retweet if you're partially

00:47:50.700 or fully vaccinated,

00:47:51.800 but you're still wearing

00:47:52.480 a mask to help

00:47:53.140 protect your community.

00:47:54.280 Hashtag wear a mask.

00:47:55.860 Post a photo

00:47:56.500 in the reply.

00:47:58.040 Nick is vaccinated

00:47:59.200 and wearing his mask

00:48:01.400 outside.

00:48:03.780 Many people

00:48:04.380 on the replies

00:48:04.860 are in his boat

00:48:05.420 and proud of it.

00:48:06.220 One woman 0.50

00:48:06.740 who apparently works

00:48:07.320 for Disney

00:48:07.680 posted a picture

00:48:09.100 of herself

00:48:09.520 out in public

00:48:10.120 in an astronaut helmet.

00:48:12.680 Not meant to be a joke.

00:48:14.800 And it isn't a joke. 0.98

00:48:15.780 It's mental illness. 0.98

00:48:17.740 This is mental illness 0.94

00:48:18.960 that's been fostered, 0.93

00:48:20.140 instilled

00:48:20.740 into the minds

00:48:21.820 of the public

00:48:22.180 by guys like

00:48:22.820 Dr. Fauci.

00:48:24.700 And Fauci

00:48:25.140 is not letting up

00:48:25.680 anytime soon.

00:48:26.200 Here he is

00:48:26.520 on Meet the Press

00:48:27.140 yesterday

00:48:27.540 recommending that people

00:48:29.060 still wear masks

00:48:30.040 while vaccinated.

00:48:31.000 Let's listen to that.

00:48:32.100 Why does a vaccinated

00:48:33.160 person have to wear a mask?

00:48:37.100 Okay.

00:48:37.860 This is something

00:48:38.720 that as we get

00:48:39.440 more information,

00:48:40.220 it's going to be

00:48:41.060 pulling back

00:48:41.700 that you won't have to.

00:48:42.660 But currently

00:48:43.500 the reason is

00:48:44.820 that when you

00:48:45.840 get vaccinated,

00:48:47.180 you are clearly

00:48:48.260 diminishing

00:48:49.040 dramatically

00:48:49.900 your risk

00:48:50.600 of getting infected.

00:48:51.620 That's one of the things

00:48:52.400 we've got to make sure

00:48:53.060 everybody understands.

00:48:55.020 You dramatically

00:48:55.700 diminish it.

00:48:56.980 However,

00:48:57.540 what happens

00:48:58.340 is that

00:48:59.260 you might get infected

00:49:00.580 and get absolutely

00:49:01.780 no symptoms,

00:49:03.300 not know you're infected,

00:49:04.800 and then inadvertently

00:49:06.020 go into a situation

00:49:07.220 with vulnerable people.

00:49:08.860 And if you don't

00:49:09.560 have a mask,

00:49:10.360 you might inadvertently

00:49:11.600 infect them.

00:49:13.120 Now, there's a small

00:49:13.960 risk of that,

00:49:15.120 but it's there.

00:49:15.980 The other thing

00:49:16.780 is that there may be

00:49:18.100 variants that are

00:49:19.180 circulating.

00:49:19.940 We know New York

00:49:20.820 area has their own

00:49:21.920 variant,

00:49:22.460 a 526.

00:49:23.920 There's a South

00:49:24.460 African variant.

00:49:25.820 Fortunately for us,

00:49:26.980 Chuck,

00:49:27.580 the 117 variant

00:49:29.060 that is dominant

00:49:30.240 in Europe

00:49:31.420 and in UK

00:49:32.220 is also now

00:49:33.480 dominant in the

00:49:34.180 United States.

00:49:35.420 Thank goodness

00:49:36.020 the vaccine

00:49:36.840 works very well

00:49:38.140 against that variant.

00:49:40.060 Now, just so you know,

00:49:41.600 the CDC says

00:49:42.480 that 0.008%

00:49:45.100 of vaccinated people

00:49:46.200 have had breakthrough

00:49:47.000 cases where they

00:49:47.900 still get COVID.

00:49:48.600 So he talks about

00:49:49.060 a small risk.

00:49:49.720 OK, let's be clear

00:49:51.220 about how small

00:49:51.740 0.008%.

00:49:54.180 That's not that's

00:49:55.060 not much higher

00:49:55.680 than your chance

00:49:56.200 of getting struck

00:49:56.720 by lightning.

00:49:57.740 It's much smaller,

00:49:59.240 much smaller

00:49:59.940 than your chance

00:50:00.500 of dying in a car

00:50:01.160 accident.

00:50:02.640 There are a million

00:50:03.860 risks out there

00:50:04.640 which pose a greater

00:50:05.600 threat than 0.008%.

00:50:07.940 If we're supposed

00:50:09.600 to mask even

00:50:10.640 with a 0.008%

00:50:13.200 risk,

00:50:13.620 then we really

00:50:14.840 shouldn't be going

00:50:15.480 anywhere or doing

00:50:16.140 anything.

00:50:16.540 We shouldn't walk

00:50:18.060 down the steps

00:50:18.600 without a helmet

00:50:19.140 on, maybe the

00:50:20.120 astronaut helmet,

00:50:20.900 or eat a meal

00:50:21.540 without chopping it

00:50:22.300 into small bits

00:50:23.060 first to prevent

00:50:23.660 choking, or sit in

00:50:25.340 a bathtub without

00:50:26.020 a life jacket.

00:50:28.140 You know, on this

00:50:29.380 risk assessment

00:50:30.260 philosophy, you

00:50:32.200 shouldn't be doing

00:50:32.700 anything.

00:50:34.260 0.008% risk is

00:50:35.780 the kind of risk

00:50:36.680 that healthy,

00:50:37.440 insane people 0.68

00:50:38.060 ignore. 0.99

00:50:39.260 Yes, you just

00:50:39.780 ignore it.

00:50:40.960 When someone tells

00:50:41.800 you there's a 0.008%

00:50:42.900 chance of such and

00:50:43.680 such happening,

00:50:44.120 you just say,

00:50:44.420 OK, go about your

00:50:45.520 day.

00:50:47.300 Because the only

00:50:48.120 other option is

00:50:48.860 paralyzation.

00:50:50.200 If you have to

00:50:50.940 respond to a risk

00:50:52.180 like that at all,

00:50:53.740 then you can't

00:50:54.860 live your life.

00:50:56.540 The only other

00:50:57.220 option is to

00:50:57.620 basically give up

00:50:58.400 on living a normal

00:50:59.020 human life all in

00:50:59.800 the hopes of

00:51:00.140 preserving the

00:51:00.720 very life that

00:51:01.240 you've effectively

00:51:01.940 forfeited.

00:51:03.880 These are the

00:51:04.460 kinds of

00:51:04.760 calculations that

00:51:05.380 millions of

00:51:05.820 Americans have 0.78

00:51:06.420 lost the ability

00:51:07.380 to make.

00:51:08.140 This is the

00:51:08.540 point.

00:51:09.660 We all used to

00:51:10.500 make them

00:51:10.720 intuitively.

00:51:12.260 You know,

00:51:12.440 there have always

00:51:12.900 been areas where

00:51:13.700 our caution

00:51:14.260 exceeded what

00:51:15.460 is statistically

00:51:16.060 justified.

00:51:16.800 Like, for

00:51:17.120 example,

00:51:17.500 parents worry

00:51:18.740 that their

00:51:19.060 kids are going

00:51:19.480 to be kidnapped

00:51:19.900 by a stranger

00:51:20.740 in a van or

00:51:21.360 something.

00:51:22.180 Something that

00:51:22.580 almost never

00:51:23.140 happens in real

00:51:23.680 life.

00:51:24.500 But most parents,

00:51:25.920 and this has been

00:51:26.240 the case for a

00:51:26.680 while, are more

00:51:28.100 worried about that

00:51:28.960 and take more

00:51:29.460 precautions against

00:51:30.320 it than is

00:51:31.580 statistically justified.

00:51:32.920 But for the

00:51:33.360 most part, most of

00:51:35.100 us carried on

00:51:35.720 living our lives

00:51:36.360 basically free of

00:51:37.380 crippling paranoia.

00:51:38.800 But that's not the

00:51:39.320 case anymore.

00:51:39.860 For many people,

00:51:40.620 COVID was the

00:51:41.200 first time that they

00:51:42.740 seriously faced

00:51:43.500 their own

00:51:43.880 mortality.

00:51:45.140 And that, you

00:51:46.720 know, startling

00:51:47.480 confrontation coupled

00:51:48.640 with the sustained

00:51:49.360 fear-mongering and

00:51:50.120 panic porn from the

00:51:50.860 media caused a

00:51:52.120 sort of psychotic

00:51:52.860 break for a lot

00:51:53.760 of people.

00:51:55.200 For most people,

00:51:56.420 the risk posed by

00:51:57.420 COVID was never

00:51:58.880 lethal or even

00:52:00.320 especially severe for

00:52:01.500 most people.

00:52:02.940 But the combination

00:52:03.860 of psychological

00:52:04.560 factors noted above

00:52:05.600 made it so that,

00:52:07.340 you know, lots of

00:52:08.040 these people could

00:52:09.060 not process the

00:52:10.600 situation that they

00:52:11.320 found themselves in.

00:52:13.020 We all have an

00:52:13.880 internal risk

00:52:14.620 calculator that's

00:52:15.480 working all the

00:52:15.920 time.

00:52:16.320 And for a lot of

00:52:17.060 people, it broke.

00:52:18.560 Next thing you know,

00:52:19.280 they're walking alone

00:52:19.960 in the woods with

00:52:20.660 two masks and a

00:52:21.480 visor.

00:52:23.140 Publications like

00:52:23.800 Slate and other

00:52:24.440 left-wing media outlets

00:52:25.180 could have helped

00:52:26.240 prevent this early on

00:52:27.440 by simply being

00:52:28.440 reasonable and

00:52:29.240 honest.

00:52:30.980 But the media are

00:52:31.900 the ones who pushed

00:52:32.460 the idea early on

00:52:33.420 that there's no

00:52:34.280 difference between

00:52:35.040 100% risk and

00:52:36.380 .001% risk.

00:52:38.980 You know, any risk

00:52:39.760 is too much.

00:52:40.300 That's why you

00:52:42.120 weren't allowed to

00:52:42.620 point out that

00:52:43.240 there's no reason to

00:52:43.900 wear a mask outside

00:52:44.740 or that asymptomatic

00:52:46.220 transmission really

00:52:47.160 probably isn't a

00:52:48.160 huge concern.

00:52:49.200 Yes, it can happen.

00:52:50.300 Anytime you bring this

00:52:51.120 up, people always

00:52:51.600 say, what do you

00:52:53.160 mean?

00:52:53.400 It can happen.

00:52:55.180 Maybe it can, but

00:52:56.240 there's no reason to

00:52:57.520 think that it's likely.

00:53:00.140 You weren't allowed

00:53:00.800 to say that.

00:53:01.760 You also weren't

00:53:02.420 allowed to say that,

00:53:03.020 hey, you know,

00:53:03.440 washing your hands

00:53:04.060 is great and all,

00:53:04.840 but you're probably

00:53:05.320 not going to get

00:53:06.000 COVID from touching

00:53:06.820 a surface that a

00:53:07.580 guy with COVID

00:53:08.140 touched three hours

00:53:08.860 ago.

00:53:09.620 Like, you don't

00:53:10.200 need to use hand

00:53:12.740 sanitizer every time

00:53:14.160 you touch something.

00:53:17.120 Weren't allowed to

00:53:17.800 say that.

00:53:18.140 All of these true

00:53:19.000 and reasonable

00:53:19.360 things were shouted

00:53:20.260 down, in some cases

00:53:21.460 censored by big tech.

00:53:23.820 The marching orders

00:53:24.760 for an entire year

00:53:25.760 were that no amount

00:53:26.840 of COVID risk is

00:53:27.600 acceptable.

00:53:28.160 None.

00:53:29.520 And this, of course,

00:53:30.460 was always insane

00:53:31.580 and unworkable, but

00:53:33.140 it's the dynamic that

00:53:34.060 outlets like Slate

00:53:34.840 helped to create.

00:53:35.500 Now, some of them

00:53:37.180 may want to pull

00:53:37.960 back, perhaps

00:53:38.500 because some of

00:53:39.060 the people, you

00:53:40.580 know, working in

00:53:41.040 these outlets who

00:53:41.940 push the panic porn 0.99

00:53:42.800 really are just sick

00:53:43.700 of living like this.

00:53:45.360 But it's too late.

00:53:46.960 In fact, just a

00:53:47.500 couple of months

00:53:48.080 ago, Slate itself

00:53:49.160 published an article

00:53:49.900 recommending double

00:53:51.680 masking outside.

00:53:55.280 Now they want to

00:53:55.980 retreat back into

00:53:56.820 a semblance of

00:53:57.480 sanity.

00:53:57.960 I wish that were

00:53:58.740 possible.

00:53:59.600 For a lot of

00:54:00.200 people, it's not.

00:54:01.020 They've gone insane.

00:54:03.980 And oftentimes, that

00:54:05.100 trip is a

00:54:05.480 one-way ticket.

00:54:07.880 And that's why

00:54:08.680 Slate and all

00:54:10.600 other COVID fear

00:54:11.440 peddlers are, once

00:54:13.160 again, completely and

00:54:14.680 totally canceled.

00:54:17.100 And we'll leave it

00:54:17.700 there for today.
