Today on the Matt Wall Show, as the student debt crisis continues to spiral out of control,
00:00:04.760
the Wall Street Journal publishes an article asking us to feel sympathy for Ivy League grad
00:00:09.200
students who are drowning in six-figure debt after discovering that their master's degrees
00:00:14.160
aren't leading to lucrative jobs. Who would have thought? For some reason, I struggle to feel any
00:00:18.660
sympathy for these people. We'll talk about that. Also, five headlines, including former media
00:00:22.320
darling Michael Avenatti gets his prison sentence. Rand Paul looks to revoke the federal mask mandate
00:00:27.960
on airplanes, and we'll discuss the latest alleged racism controversy over at ESPN.
00:00:33.480
In our daily cancellation, we'll cancel Scarlett Johansson for complaining in a recent interview
00:00:37.100
that she is underappreciated and also underpaid. She makes like $50 million a year, though.
00:00:42.380
We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:44.520
You know, everybody wants privacy when they go online, and I think most people think, well,
00:00:59.220
you just put your browser in incognito mode, and that's all you need to do, and you get all the
00:01:03.800
privacy that way. But it doesn't always mean what you think. You know, we all take little risks every
00:01:08.700
day when we go online, whether we think about it or not. We think our connection probably won't be
00:01:12.640
interrupted by hackers. Our data probably won't be used against us, but using the internet without
00:01:17.640
ExpressVPN, that just doesn't make sense. It's like driving a car without insurance. You're taking a risk
00:01:22.920
that you simply don't need to take. Why take that risk? Every time you connect to an unencrypted
00:01:28.660
network, cafes, hotels, airports, any hacker on the same network can gain access to your personal data,
00:01:33.780
whether it's your passwords, your financial data, your financial details, whatever it is.
00:01:37.500
That's the kind of risk you're taking. It doesn't take much technical knowledge either to do it,
00:01:40.980
just some cheap hardware. A smart 12-year-old could do it. I couldn't do it,
00:01:44.840
but I'm not as smart as a smart 12-year-old. And your data is valuable. Hackers can make up to
00:01:49.500
$1,000 per person selling personal info on the dark web. So what do you do about this? You get

00:02:12.080
more than one bad guy to get us to a point where there is now at last count $1.7 trillion in total
00:02:19.000
outstanding student loan debt. $1.7 trillion, by the way, is more money than currently exists
00:02:24.300
in circulation in the United States. Now, most people aren't paying off their student debt in
00:02:29.260
cash, obviously, but this is just a way of gaining perspective. There is more student debt than there
00:02:34.540
is physical currency in the entire country collectively. How did we get here? Who are
00:02:41.020
the villains exactly? Well, the universities would have to be at the top of the list. They're the
00:02:45.020
ones charging exorbitant tuition fees for an education that is rarely worth the cost. And
00:02:50.040
even when it is worth the cost, there is still no reason why it should cost that much, much.
00:02:56.300
Also, we should blame in equal terms the government, the banks, the public school system for pushing
00:03:01.040
kids into the university system to begin with. Many parents, too, must take their share of the blame
00:03:05.800
for pushing their own kids into this. And what about the employers who fuel this madness by requiring
00:03:11.960
degrees from entry-level applicants who will be performing jobs that do not actually necessitate
00:03:18.240
having a degree? We talk about all the jobs that need degrees, and most of the time, the need is
00:03:24.580
artificial. There's no reason, there's no real reason why a person without a degree can't do the
00:03:30.340
job. It's just that the employers have put that requirement there artificially. The vast majority of
00:03:37.380
jobs are learned by doing. So most jobs are learned, in other words, on the job. There's no reason why that
00:03:45.700
expensive piece of paper should be necessary, and yet employers often require it out of pure laziness, because
00:03:51.360
it's an easy way to whittle down the applicant pool without having to put in much effort. So all of
00:03:56.680
these parties deserve blame. Then what about the students themselves who take out these loans?
00:04:03.140
Personally, I would much prefer to blame the powerful and corrupt institutions I already listed,
00:04:08.920
and the adults who should know better, instead of kids just out of high school who are too dumb and
00:04:13.860
naive to understand what they're getting themselves into. I mean, everybody is stupid at 18. I certainly was.
00:04:19.660
And that's a good reason why 18-year-olds shouldn't be granted six-figure loans in the first place.
00:04:25.360
It's also a good reason why they shouldn't have the right to vote, by the way.
00:04:29.120
So I'm sympathetic to the idea that many of the people saddled with this debt are victims.
00:04:35.600
They were exploited. I don't know what else you can say about saddling kids fresh out of high school
00:04:41.760
with this kind of crippling debt. Does that mean that I think the taxpayer should have to pick up the
00:04:46.200
tab and foot the bill for student debt forgiveness? Absolutely not. You cannot undo the exploitation
00:04:52.940
of one group through the exploitation of another. If you want to grant some kind of student debt
00:04:59.440
forgiveness for some people by seizing the endowments from these universities, then maybe
00:05:04.080
we can talk. But the only thing more unfair and immoral than handing out massive loans to ignorant
00:05:09.120
18-year-olds is forcing taxpayers who didn't take out the loans to pay them back. And the college
00:05:15.140
graduates who demand that such a system be put in place for their sake immediately lose all sympathy
00:05:21.440
from me. You have all this debt. I'm sympathetic. But the moment you point to me and say to the
00:05:29.680
government, no, force him to pay it back. No more sympathy. You're no longer a victim.
00:05:35.780
The moment you try to right the wrong done to you by committing a wrong against someone else.
00:05:41.460
Someone steals your car. I feel bad for you. You steal my car in exchange. And now you're just a
00:05:47.840
thief like the guy who took yours. That's how that works. But there are some supposed victims of the
00:05:55.020
debt crisis who ought to engender no sympathy at all from anyone in the first place. The Wall Street
00:06:00.020
Journal just published a piece yesterday which highlights this group. The headline, alongside a
00:06:06.000
photograph of a man in his 30s looking sad and dejected, reads, quote, financially hobbled for
00:06:11.760
life, the elite master's degrees that don't pay off. Columbia and other top universities push
00:06:17.060
master's programs that fail to generate enough income for graduates to keep up with the six-figure
00:06:21.860
federal loans. This is an article all about the pathetic saps who took out massive loans to pay for
00:06:28.140
graduate school, Ivy League graduate school, and now are, as the headline suggests, financially hobbled
00:06:33.180
for life. Now something to keep in mind as I read some of this to you, and this is very important.
00:06:39.520
The average age of a grad student is 33. And that means that a great many of the people currently in
00:06:46.420
grad school are my age or older. So these are not kids. These are grown adults. So here's what the
00:06:53.440
article says, quote, recent film program graduates of Columbia University who took out federal student
00:06:58.720
loans had a median debt of $181,000. Yet two years after earning their master's degrees, half of the
00:07:06.140
borrowers were making less than $30,000 a year. I'm sorry, it's not funny, but it kind of is.
00:07:11.460
$30,000 a year, that's minimum wage. And you took out $181,000 in debt to go to an Ivy League,
00:07:18.600
you get a master's degree, and you're making a minimum wage. Anyway, continuing, the Columbia
00:07:24.400
program offers the most extreme example of how elite universities in recent years have awarded
00:07:29.320
thousands of master's degrees that don't provide graduates enough early career earnings to begin
00:07:34.560
paying down their federal student loans. Recent Columbia film alumni had the highest debt compared
00:07:40.260
with earnings among graduates of any major university master's program in the U.S., the journal found.
00:07:45.380
The New York City University is among the world's most prestigious schools, and its $11.3 billion
00:07:50.800
endowment ranks it the nation's eighth wealthiest private school. Okay, pausing for a moment.
00:08:01.020
A master's degree in film, for what purpose? You're going to get out of grad school at the age of 36,
00:08:10.060
36, or whatever, 35, broke, paralyzed by debt, and then yada yada, you're a famous film director.
00:08:19.300
Is that the plan? You can't yada yada through that. What exactly? Fill in the blanks there.
00:08:25.680
The problem is that nobody is going to see a film simply because the director has a master's degree.
00:08:31.920
Here's a conversation that has never occurred on planet Earth one time. Okay, this has never been,
00:08:35.940
I'll be the first person to say this. Hey, man, let me tell you about this movie I saw. It's really
00:08:40.420
worth watching. It's great. You should see it. First of all, the director has a master's degree
00:08:44.640
in film studies. Nobody cares about that. Nobody cares about most master's degrees.
00:08:51.260
There are a few useful ones, but for the most part, grad school is essentially a glorified Ponzi scheme.
00:08:57.260
So back to the article. It says, at New York University, graduates with a master's degree
00:09:02.700
in publishing borrowed a median $116,000 and had an annual median income of $42,000 two years after
00:09:10.200
the program, the data on recent borrowers show. At Northwestern University, half of those who
00:09:14.660
earned degrees in speech language pathology borrowed $148,000 or more, and the graduates had
00:09:20.560
a median income of $60,000 two years later. Graduates of the University of Southern California's
00:09:25.460
marriage and family counseling program borrowed a median $124,000 and half earned $50,000 or less
00:09:32.820
over the same period. Then the article starts getting into the specific sob stories of some
00:09:38.180
of these pathetic rubes who mortgage their financial future just so they could brag about
00:09:42.760
having a master's degree. I'm not going to subject you to very much of this portion, but here's a
00:09:47.020
taste. Quote, there's always those 2 a.m. panic attacks where you're thinking, how the hell am I ever
00:09:53.680
going to pay this off? Said 29-year-old Zach Morrison of New Jersey, who earned a master's
00:09:58.040
of fine art in film from Columbia in 2018 and praised the quality of the program. His graduate
00:10:03.540
school loan balance now stands at nearly $300,000, including accrued interest. He has been earning
00:10:09.440
between $30,000 and $50,000 a year from work as a Hollywood assistant and such side gigs as
00:10:14.660
commercial video production and photography. Matt Black graduated from Columbia in 2015 with an MFA
00:10:20.080
in film and $233,000 in federal loans. He signed up for an income-based repayment plan that in leaner
00:10:28.300
years requires no remittance from him. With interest, his balance stands at $331,000.
00:10:34.040
Mr. Black, a 36-year-old writer and producer in Los Angeles, said he grew up in a lower middle-class
00:10:38.500
family in Oklahoma. He earned $60,000 in a good year and less than half of that in dry stretches.
00:10:44.460
The faculty at Columbia was stellar, he said, but he blamed the school for his calamitous financial
00:10:50.900
situation. He said, quote, we were told by the establishment our whole lives this was the way to
00:10:56.120
jump social classes. Instead, he feels such goals as marriage, children, and owning a home are now out
00:11:02.300
of reach. Okay. Certainly, Columbia is partly to blame for his calamitous financial situation.
00:11:08.620
They're the ones offering this utterly worthless product. A master's of fine arts in film. Worthless.
00:11:17.600
No value. And they offer it and they make enormous profits off of it. If they were in any other
00:11:24.720
industry running a scheme like this, they'd be sent to prison. What these colleges are doing is criminal.
00:11:32.140
They are selling things for enormous amounts of money, knowing that they are plunging their
00:11:41.820
students into a lifetime of debt. And they also know that what they're selling has no value.
00:11:48.620
Any other industry, you go to jail for that, but not for universities. So yeah, I blame them all day
00:11:59.200
long. But do you know who else is to blame for Matt Black's calamitous financial situation? Matt Black.
00:12:05.820
I mean, he said it himself as an adult, a grown adult. He took out $233,000 in loans
00:12:12.540
simply because he'd been told that it's a good way to, quote, jump social classes.
00:12:20.680
He did it because he wanted to feel smarter and better than you. And now he's broker than you.
00:12:25.280
And I bet he feels dumber too. This is vanity, materialism, greed, not just on the part of the
00:12:32.880
university, but on the part of these adults who are buying what they can't afford, hoping it'll be
00:12:37.280
a shortcut to elite status. The whole thing is a mess from the undergrad level to the grad student
00:12:45.060
working towards his PhD and finger painting. It is all to borrow a term calamitous. And it's only
00:12:51.560
going to get worse. You see, there is no real remedy. As long as we keep pretending that the best path
00:12:59.400
for everyone is to spend the first 35 years of their lives sitting in classrooms and accumulating
00:13:05.360
pieces of paper and letters that they can put next to their names. The answer is, everyone's talking
00:13:12.840
about, well, how do we make it cheaper? How do we make it more affordable? How do we make it so more
00:13:16.740
people? No, no, no, no, no, no. That's not the answer. The answer isn't to make sure more people
00:13:22.920
can do this really stupid, calamitous thing. The answer is to abandon this path, or at least to let
00:13:32.720
people know that there are many other paths aside from this one. You may have been told that you need
00:13:39.560
to whittle away the first third of your life in classrooms, but the people who told you that were
00:13:45.640
lying. They were literally selling you something. You don't need to. And most likely, you shouldn't.
00:13:56.960
There are some exceptions, but for most people, you should. Figure out what you want to do with your life,
00:14:01.460
and then go and simply do it. You want to be in the film industry, then just go and try to do it.
00:14:10.420
There's a really good chance you'll fail, but there's also a really good chance you'll fail
00:14:14.860
with a master's degree. You shall have more debt at the end of that failure.
00:14:19.680
Failure is part of life. You want to do anything worth doing, there's a really good chance of failure.
00:14:25.980
So just go and do it. You might need some college, depending on what you want to do,
00:14:28.960
or some kind of formal education outside of high school in order to fully achieve your goals,
00:14:32.980
whatever they are. But there is a very good chance you don't. There's a good chance you don't need
00:14:36.420
any of that. And it's almost certain that you don't need any kind of grad school.
00:14:42.100
That's the truth. And if we really want to solve this problem, we need to start telling it.
00:14:49.540
Now I want to tell you about one of our newer sponsors on the show, Carnivore Trading. And I was
00:14:59.840
happy when Carnivore Trading reached out because I'm kind of a perfect customer for them. I'm interested
00:15:04.820
in getting involved in the market and stocks and investment. I just, I don't know very much about
00:15:09.100
it at all. And that's why Carnivore Trading is great. Listen, Wall Street has been lying for years
00:15:14.020
saying a measly few percent is a good return on our stocks. It's not. And also that trading is so
00:15:20.140
complex. You need a financial advisor to do it. You don't. All you need is Carnivore Trading.
00:15:24.360
Carnivore Trading is an anonymous team of elite strategists. They're legends among Wall Street
00:15:28.180
heavy hitters, and they've gone a bit rogue. For the first time, they're inviting everyday folks
00:15:32.460

00:15:38.760
people that not only know about it, but are doing it. And you can see that they know how to do it.
00:15:43.580

00:16:17.540
All right. Well, not a headline, but I just, I think it's, we should acknowledge it was a
00:16:21.380
reporter's birthday yesterday in the White House press pool. Some reporter's birthday.
00:16:27.180
And Jen Psaki made sure to acknowledge it. Now you, I'll play this for you and just ask yourself,
00:16:35.520
is this the kind of relationship that you want the media to have with those in power?
00:16:44.680
If democracy dies in darkness, as the Washington Post says, well, then what's happening here
00:17:00.500
I said happy Thursday. Well, I was going to say, I did hear it was Steve Holland's 29th birthday.
00:17:06.280
So happy 29th birthday. I'm a terrible singer, but I am willing to lead a song here if you are all game.
00:17:13.420
Is this a good day to ask for an interview with the press?
00:17:17.580
It may be. It may be. Who's with me? Someone here has a good voice.
00:17:22.720
Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Steve. Happy birthday to you.
00:17:37.660
All right. I will also note Brian Karam, excellent voice. I don't know what you do with that, but
00:17:48.920
One bit. Isn't that sweet? One big happy family. Isn't that nice and cute to see that
00:17:53.840
media and government getting along so well, not disturbing at all. How do you go from that
00:17:59.040
to, she's, she's giving the, the press briefing. How do you go from that to holding your feet to
00:18:07.220
the fire and trying to get to the truth? Well, you don't. There's no way to transition that, but
00:18:13.400
they have no plans in doing that in the first place. Also, the other thing that comes to mind
00:18:18.320
when I listen to that is first of all, she, she really does have a terrible, she makes me sound like
00:18:21.940
Pavarotti with my singing voice, but also the happy birthday song is just a terrible song. It really is.
00:18:28.100
We need a, we need a different, can we, as a, as a people come together and come up with a better
00:18:32.420
song? It's a bad song. Then again, I'm anti-birthdays. I will say, speaking of birthdays,
00:18:38.160
and usually I'm a curmudgeon about birthdays and I don't like the birthday song or anything,
00:18:43.360
but I was recently, just a couple of weeks ago. I, there are times when I think celebrating a
00:18:48.360
birthday is okay. And there, there are a few occasions when even I can appreciate the birthday
00:18:53.160
song. So we were at a, I was at a restaurant with my wife like two weeks ago. And this guy
00:18:57.720
starts, you know, starts clanging on his, his glass to get everyone's attention. And then
00:19:04.460
he lets us know that his, his mom was sitting right next to him is, was celebrating her 100th
00:19:08.360
birthday that day. And then she, he led the entire restaurant in, uh, uh, in singing happy
00:19:14.640
birthday for his mom. And I, I thought I even sang, can you believe it? I didn't really sing,
00:19:18.900
but I, I, I lip synced, which is more than I'll usually do. Cause I thought, you know what?
00:19:24.320
100 years. Yeah. You earned yourself that. And then we looked over in the, uh, the booth couple
00:19:31.680
down from there. We noticed there was a, an old couple had to be in their eighties and they were
00:19:39.100
sitting there and they were, they were holding hands and looking deeply into each other's eyes
00:19:42.880
in their eighties. My wife's looking at that and we've got the 100 year birthday.
00:19:48.220
And, uh, my wife is saying how cute everything is and how nice. And then, and then, and then I,
00:19:53.580
and I appreciate it. And I said to her, and these were my exact words. I said, uh, there's a lot of
00:19:58.520
wholesome happening here tonight, which just to prove that I have a romantic side too.
00:20:04.080
I can appreciate these moments. All right. Uh, I can appreciate this moment too, from the Daily
00:20:09.400
Wire reports, quote, a New York judge sentenced disgraced lawyer, Michael Avenatti to 30 months in
00:20:15.280
prison for attempting to extort Nike of up to $25 million. The case is one of several Avenatti is
00:20:22.700
currently involved in while he was addressing the court prior to the judge's sentence. Avenatti
00:20:26.460
reportedly cried, um, judge, judge Paul Gardefi of the Southern district of New York ripped the lawyer
00:20:32.720
during his sentencing saying that his conduct was outrageous. He, uh, so on and so forth. And now
00:20:39.340
he's looking at 30 months in prison. Um, personally, he committed a crime. He's going to jail. He deserves
00:20:47.860
it. That's fine. Um, the fact that he tried to extort Nike, I don't really care about that. Nike is
00:20:53.160
probably the least sympathetic company on earth. Uh, and the great thing is whether you're on the right
00:20:59.940
or the left, you've got plenty of reasons to hate Nike. So I don't really care that he did that.
00:21:04.500
What I do care about though, are he's, he's actually got, he's, he's facing criminal charges.
00:21:10.860
He's got two or three other cases where he's facing criminal charges and the more serious
00:21:15.840
things he still has not gone to trial for, including, I think in California, he's accused of
00:21:22.020
defrauding many of his clients. And these are just normal people. This isn't Nike. And he's accused
00:21:30.220
of stealing money from him. You could read the details of that. Um, if you want to know what a,
00:21:36.340
what a scumbag this guy is trying to extort Nike, that just makes you really, really stupid, makes
00:21:41.720
you dishonest, but also incredibly stupid. You're not going to get away with that. Defrauding his
00:21:46.720
clients the way that he has, um, that makes you stupid also, but an incredible scumbag. And now he's
00:21:53.200
going to prison. And, uh, so it's a, I think a good time to go back a little trip down memory lane
00:21:59.140
and see how the media treated this guy. Not all that long ago. We're not going back 15 years.
00:22:05.960
It's a couple of years ago. This is, uh, put together, I believe by the Washington examiner,
00:22:12.380
a nice little montage of the media and their treatment of, uh, of Michael Avenatti, who now
00:22:18.460
is going to prison for extortion and is going to be getting more prison time for fraud and everything
00:22:22.980
else. But here's what the media was saying about him just a couple of years ago. He's Donald Trump's
00:22:27.460
worst nightmare. Michael Avenatti. Joining us once again is Michael Avenatti. Let's bring
00:22:31.700
in Michael Avenatti. Michael Avenatti. Michael Avenatti. Michael Avenatti. Thank you very
00:22:35.280
much. He's out there saving the country. Don Meacham says he may be the savior of the
00:22:39.000
republic. You are something of a folk hero now. I owe Michael Avenatti an apology. I've been
00:22:44.140
saying enough for writing, Michael. I've seen you everywhere. What do you have left to say?
00:22:48.120
I was wrong, brother. You have a lot to say. I, uh, am just dying to hear what you think.
00:22:53.940
These people all like you. I'm the only person right here Donald Trump fears more than Robert
00:22:58.840
Miller. We think you guys are the tip of the spear that's going to take down Donald Trump.
00:23:03.840
Michael Avenatti's a beast. Okay, that's true. And he's a beast. He's a beast. I hand it
00:23:08.740
to her and I hand it to Michael Avenatti. But he has a great bigger calling here that being
00:23:13.480
a lawyer is minimal compared to what he's doing. No one has talked tougher directly to Donald
00:23:19.520
Trump on TV than Michael Avenatti. And Donald Trump is afraid to mention his name.
00:23:25.440
Okay, so you get the idea. And it goes on for like another minute. That was the Washington
00:23:28.620
Free Beacon, by the way, put that together. Uh, I mean, if they were capable of shame,
00:23:33.880
they would feel it, but they, they aren't. So it almost feels pointless to even bring this
00:23:37.740
up. They don't care. And it's not like, it's not like anyone was blindsided by this.
00:23:46.320
No intelligent person is shocked when you find out that Michael Avenatti is committed
00:23:52.680
extortion, is accused of fraud. No, no one, no one is going, Michael Avenatti did that.
00:23:59.780
I can't believe it. Of course, it was clear from day one. The first time I laid eyes on
00:24:05.660
the guy and heard him speak is like, okay, this guy's a scumbag. This guy's a rat. That's,
00:24:10.800
that's very clear. Then we have the worst one. I do, I do want to play this. This is the worst one,
00:24:17.160
um, of all from the view. And, uh, this gets, so what you just heard there is hero worship of
00:24:26.960
Michael Avenatti. And now we get into full on deification. Listen to this.
00:24:32.680
Lately to me, you're like the Holy Spirit. You are all places at all times, right? I mean,
00:24:39.920
you, I do, I see you all over cable news. I see you, you know, there is a, a, a seat available.
00:24:45.660
If you want to be a co-host at the view, you might, you know, there's people here you can pitch.
00:24:49.480
There's Anna Navarro, like the Holy Spirit. That is, uh, that is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
00:24:54.120
That is literally the unforgivable sin that she committed. But again, doesn't care. No shame,
00:24:58.940
no embarrassment. Um, and, uh, Michael Avenatti going to prison. Okay. Number two, also from the
00:25:06.160
Daily Wire, it says Senator Rand Paul is planning to introduce legislation to revoke a federal mask
00:25:10.620
mandate for travelers on airplanes. The, uh, TSA has continued to mandate that all travelers wear
00:25:16.180
masks on airplanes with limited exceptions, as many state governments have rolled back COVID-19
00:25:20.540
restrictions. Uh, the current TSA mandate is in place until at least September 13th.
00:25:25.460
And Paul tweeted on Thursday, when the Senate returns to session,
00:25:28.560
I'll be introducing an immediate repeal of the mask mandate on planes. Enough time to stop this
00:25:32.560
farce and let people travel in peace. There is, there's no reason. There's never been a good
00:25:41.380
reason for it, in my opinion, especially now. I mean, that's the absurdity of this, but living here
00:25:48.400
in Nashville, and I've done a lot of flying recently in particular, and you walk around all day,
00:25:54.220
no one's wearing a mask anywhere, but then you go into an airport and magically we're all, now we all
00:26:00.100
need to wear a mask. There's no reason to do it whatsoever. It's, they may as well, to anyone who
00:26:09.000
says, yeah, well, there might be no reason, but it's, it's, it's not a big deal. It's not, it's not,
00:26:13.520
and it doesn't cause any real problems. Well, first of all, it does. We, I talked a few weeks ago
00:26:20.740
about the incredible skyrocketing rise in violent incidents on airplanes.
00:26:30.020
I don't remember the exact number, but usually it's something like there's a hundred or something
00:26:33.860
a year across the entire country where there's some sort of unruly incident among passengers,
00:26:39.520
people get kicked off. We're at like over a thousand incidents and we're not even
00:26:44.340
close to through the year yet. And almost all of that is being driven by the mask thing.
00:26:52.760
So it is causing problems. It's making people unsafe when you have these incidents happening.
00:26:59.440
But also imagine if, uh, they, they may as well decree that when you're in an airport,
00:27:05.200
you have to hop on one leg. That's what you have to do. When you're in the airport, hop on one leg
00:27:10.480
just because, and if you don't, you get kicked out.
00:27:16.900
Would you go along with that and say, well, it's not, all you're doing is hopping on one leg. It's
00:27:21.420
not a big deal. It's utterly arbitrary. That's why it's a big deal. There's no reason for us to be
00:27:29.920
doing this yet. We're told to do it. And there are significant consequences if we don't, uh, so
00:27:38.380
at least Rand Paul's on top of that. And I'll be, I'll be interested to hear what the arguments are
00:27:44.200
from all the people, especially the Democrats who will oppose this move because you know,
00:27:49.080
they're going to, uh, next from the Hill, it says job openings held at a record high of 9.2 million
00:27:57.200
in May while resignations dropped slightly from historic peak. The number of open jobs on the
00:28:02.200
final business day of May changed little from the peak set in April. Um, quits fell to 3.6 million
00:28:10.140
from a record high of 3.9 million in April, but remained well above level seen earlier in the year.
00:28:14.980
And so this is the same story that we've, that we've seen. And it's, it continues record numbers of,
00:28:20.860
uh, of open jobs. We've got companies that are begging people to come work for them.
00:28:25.800
Um, I'm sure you've seen the same thing. I see these signs all the time now, even in fast food
00:28:29.920
places, begging for employees, uh, offering signing bonuses. I don't remember ever seeing that at a
00:28:37.180
McDonald's before, but now I see it all the time. And with all the traveling I've been doing, I've,
00:28:42.600
I've been in way too many McDonald's I have to say. And, uh, many of them have that offering a
00:28:47.120
signing bonus, like it's the NFL or something to McDonald's employees, but they can't find employees
00:28:52.040
because the government has made it profitable to just stay home.
00:28:59.860
And you can't, you can't have a functioning society that way where doing nothing is an option,
00:29:07.160
doing nothing at all. When you make that an option for people, you just cannot function as there is,
00:29:14.420
there is no society that has worked that way. We're going to have millions of people choosing to do
00:29:20.580
nothing. It's not like they're dropping out of the business world because they're working on the
00:29:26.360
farm. You go back 200 years ago, most people didn't have quote unquote jobs, but they were,
00:29:33.040
they were still working every day to live. Now try having a society where people aren't in a job,
00:29:41.600
but they also, they aren't doing any other kind of work and they're just sitting at home.
00:29:47.020
Next, uh, speaking of businesses, here's a tweet from Matt Jones, who is according to his bio and
00:29:53.300
award-winning entrepreneur. And, um, this is not an award-winning idea in my mind. He says,
00:30:00.320
he tweeted, now everyone's coming back to the office. We've upgraded our lanyards. So we all know
00:30:04.640
where we're comfortable. And then you see, there are three lanyards that I guess the employees,
00:30:09.600
I don't know what kind of company this is, but the employees of this company, they could choose
00:30:12.920
between three different lanyards. There's a green, uh, an orange and a red. And the green signifies
00:30:19.880
that you're okay with hugs and high fives. Orange signifies okay with talking, but not touching.
00:30:27.820
And, uh, the red says, hi, I'm keeping my distance. And all the employees are supposed to wear one of
00:30:33.100
those to signal to each other where their comfort level is in this post COVID world. Is there a
00:30:38.880
lanyard for adults who don't need to communicate through lanyards? Cause that's the one I would
00:30:43.180
choose. Also another question. What about colorblind people? Some people can't tell the difference
00:30:49.040
between red and green if you're colorblind. Um, so they're going to be charging in there trying to
00:30:52.960
bear hug the red lanyard people, which actually is pretty great. Come to think of it. Although I mean,
00:30:59.600
who is hugging at work anyway? Sounds like a, it's a literal invitation for sexual harassment
00:31:05.960
complaints. Hug. Okay. With hugs at work. Maybe there should be another lanyard, a dark green,
00:31:13.880
which says, um, I want to hold my coworkers in an erotic embrace and whisper my sensual fantasies
00:31:20.640
into their ears. I mean, if we're hugging, we might as well go all the way around the bases, I guess.
00:31:24.660
Uh, but you know, the thing is if I had to choose one of these, really, if I had to choose one,
00:31:29.400
I would go with red. I would go with the stay the hell away from me. You freaks
00:31:33.840
lanyard, but not because of COVID just because I'm an antisocial hermit.
00:31:41.000
And frankly, as an antisocial hermit, I'm, this is one of the things that has really bothered me
00:31:44.940
over the last year is to see my culture and my way of life being appropriated by the COVID people.
00:31:51.380
And so when I, when I just operate the way that I always have keeping my distance from people,
00:31:56.660
now it's assumed that I'm worried about COVID when that's not it at all.
00:32:02.060
I had this experience on an, on an elevator a couple of weeks ago. I was, I was on the elevator
00:32:06.020
and, um, then someone comes running down the hall, this guy, and he's like, Oh, hold that,
00:32:10.140
hold that. And of course I'm not holding the elevator for you. I just stood there and it closed.
00:32:14.140
You can catch the next one. It'll take 20 seconds for the next one to come.
00:32:18.900
And, uh, and then I felt bad, not because I didn't hold the elevator for him, but because I realized
00:32:23.220
he probably thought I was afraid of COVID and that's why I didn't want him on the elevator.
00:32:29.080
No, it's not that at all. I just don't like human interaction. That's it.
00:32:34.640
Not COVID related. All right. Finally, uh, so I've been meaning to talk about this for a few days,
00:32:41.440
Rachel Nichols over at ESPN. Um, she's a ESPN personality and she was accidentally,
00:32:50.000
I'm still not sure exactly how this is supposed to have happened, but she was having a private
00:32:54.600
conversation with someone and she was accidentally quote unquote recorded on, on someone's cell phone
00:33:00.260
in this private conversation, complaining that ESPN had given her NBA hosting gig to a black
00:33:06.280
female personality at the channel. And she was saying that she'd been given that job for diversity
00:33:11.480
reasons. And then this recording was circulated around ESPN. And it was like, this happened a year
00:33:16.660
ago. And it was, people knew about it at ESPN. It kind of made the rounds. It never went public.
00:33:23.180
Um, and, uh, and now suddenly it is public. And first of all, here is the, this is from the New
00:33:27.900
York times. They released it. Here's Rachel Nichols talking about this issue. Here it is.
00:33:32.300
So they said to me, Hey, instead of hosting the NBA finals, like why don't you do Doris's silent
00:33:37.720
reporter job for the NBA finals? Cause guess what that would clear the way for?
00:33:52.320
So I have declined. I don't know what their next move is, but they are feeling pressure because
00:34:00.240
of all of that. And, um, I'm trying to figure out like how to just, you know, my thing is like,
00:34:08.460
I, you know, I wish Maria to do all the success in the world. She covers football. She covers
00:34:12.880
basketball. If you need to give her more things to do because you're feeling pressure about your
00:34:19.120
like crappy long time record on diversity, which by the way, I myself like know personally from the
00:34:24.320
female side of it, like go for it. Just, you know, find it somewhere else. Like you're not
00:34:29.540
going to find it with me and taking my thing away. So that's Rachel Nichols. She's the white woman
00:34:36.220
and she was replaced by, that was a conversation from last July. And, uh, Maria Taylor is the woman
00:34:43.680
that she was replaced by for hosting the NBA finals. Um, and as it happens, another big coincidence
00:34:50.340
here that Maria Taylor who got the hosting gig and remember this, so this, this audio has been
00:34:57.500
circulating around the company internally. Everyone knew about it. Um, Maria Taylor's contract was,
00:35:04.020
she, she was up for a contract extension. She was negotiating contract and that's going to be
00:35:08.300
happening in the next week or two. And so right when this contract negotiation is happening, that's
00:35:13.620
when this, uh, audio goes public. What a big coincidence. And now, uh, Rachel Nichols had,
00:35:21.240
so she had been taken off of the hosting gig and it had been given to Maria Taylor. That's what she
00:35:25.240
was complaining about. Now that this has gone public, she was removed also as a sideline reporter,
00:35:30.780
which is what she had been demoted to. And she was replaced by a woman by the name of Malika Andrews,
00:35:36.240
who is also a black woman. So she was, she was complaining, you know, that she had been
00:35:43.940
replaced by a black woman for diversity purposes. And because of that complaint,
00:35:49.100
rather because the complaint went public, ESPN punished her by replacing her again.
00:35:55.420
Maria Taylor though, by the way, she finally spoke out about this issue. She had been kind of quiet
00:35:59.700
about it. And, uh, she finally tweeted yesterday. She said, during the dark times, I always remember
00:36:04.700
that I am in this position to open doors and light the path that others walk down. I've taken some
00:36:10.540
punches, but that just means I'm still in the fight. Remember to lift as you climb and always keep
00:36:16.160
rising. Okay. So she's the, you know, she's the hero and also the victim in this situation. Clear from
00:36:24.200
her tweet here. It doesn't even make, why I don't watch ESPN and I also don't watch the NBA.
00:36:34.700
And I don't care who hosts it, but it certainly seems very plausible that Rachel Nichols is correct
00:36:42.160
in her original assessment. If she had had this job and she was good at it, if that's the case,
00:36:48.080
and then she was suddenly taken off of the job, right? When the, when the BLM stuff was, uh,
00:36:53.660
was happening last summer, replaced by a black woman, really good chance that it was done for
00:36:58.200
political and quote, diversity reasons. But why would ESPN shy away from that?
00:37:05.380
Are they supposed to be open about that? They're trying to give an opportunity to, uh,
00:37:09.000
you know, trying to diversify and give an opportunity to an underrepresented person.
00:37:16.420
Meanwhile, Rachel Nichols is woke and leftist herself. At this point, you couldn't possibly
00:37:22.060
work at ESPN if you're not. And, uh, you know, she supports BLM and all that kind of stuff.
00:37:29.660
And this is what she gets for her trouble. That's the way it always goes, but these people
00:37:35.440
will never learn. Um, I said that was the final thing, but I, I, I can't forget about this. There
00:37:41.580
is one thing more important than anything else we've talked about so far today. Um, you know,
00:37:46.500
the, we we've heard a lot of, uh, there's been a lot of effort to get people vaccinated, all the
00:37:52.160
holdouts. Joe Biden is going to be going door to door, but a big part of the effort has been all
00:37:56.980
these songs that we've heard. And, uh, the rapper juvenile back from the nineties, you may, you may
00:38:02.380
remember him if you're a nineties kid, he did a remix of his, uh, back that ass up or rather back that
00:38:07.960
thing up the radio edit. And, uh, only now it's vax that thing up. And I just thought we should play
00:38:14.380
that for you because it's pretty great. Here it is.
00:39:14.380
I think we got the point here. I think we basically hit the idea. Use a handsome young
00:39:25.020
brother. Why don't you vax that thing up? That's not creepy at all. I'm just wondering,
00:39:31.180
is there anyone who wasn't convinced so far about vaccinations and, and, but will be convinced
00:39:40.500
by this? Who are we even trying to, to, to convince at this point with these sorts of things?
00:39:49.740
Who is the person at this point? The vaccine's been out for months, readily available for months.
00:39:57.720
Everyone knows that it's there. They know where they can get it. They know all, they know the whole
00:40:01.380
spiel. And yet there are plenty of people who for one reason or another said, I don't, I don't want it.
00:40:07.720
Not interested. Thank you. Thanks, but no thanks. So is there anyone who has held that position for
00:40:15.080
months now and is now going to say, well, after seeing that, they're going to say, well, you know,
00:40:21.620
your raise is a good point. Perhaps I should indeed vax that thing up. I don't know who that person,
00:40:29.520
maybe they call calls his wife up. Hey honey, I know we said we weren't doing the vaccine, but, uh,
00:40:34.020
listen, I just heard this song and he, and he, and he was bringing up the point that we need to vax that
00:40:38.060
thing up. And I'm starting to think maybe we really should. Somehow I doubt that that conversation
00:40:44.880
is happening, but I could be wrong. Let's go down to reading the YouTube comments. Um, Dylan says,
00:40:51.240
Matt, do you know what kind of car Ben drives? I've always imagined him in something classy like a BMW.
00:40:56.380
Oh, and please spare me. I already know that you drive a minivan, AKA the dad wagon. I don't know what
00:41:00.880
kind of car Ben drives, but, um, please don't stereotype me. I don't drive a minivan. In fact,
00:41:06.340
I have nothing against minivans there. This is the struggle that everyone goes through when they
00:41:11.800
get into like middle age and they're, they're having kids, you know, and once you get to like
00:41:17.220
three or four kids, um, you, you start to realize that you got to make the minivan move.
00:41:24.680
And, but, but a lot of people don't want to do that. They have some prejudice against minivans that I
00:41:29.860
don't understand. My wife is in that category. She absolutely refused. We have four kids
00:41:33.440
and we cram them into SUVs. She refuses to get a minivan. I don't understand why they're practical.
00:41:43.060
They're handsome vehicles. What's the problem? Um, Ashley says pre-K is unnecessary and kindergarten
00:41:51.280
probably is as well. Then if you homeschool, you could move through the grades quicker and get your
00:41:55.900
GED at a younger age. Honestly, 12 years is too much. Yeah. We were expanding public education to
00:42:01.120
14 years, 16 years. Uh, we got to get the kids in younger and younger. Really it should be less.
00:42:05.400
And that's true. And this, this is something that people, when they start homeschooling,
00:42:08.560
I hear this all the time from homeschool parents, that they're shocked by, by, especially if they
00:42:15.200
went to public school themselves, or if they had their kids in public school and they pulled them out,
00:42:18.960
they're shocked when they realized just how much time is wasted in public school.
00:42:23.240
Because you have your curriculum and especially when your kids are younger, you know, they're in
00:42:30.520
first, second grade in that elementary school age, you can, you can give them a full days of,
00:42:36.140
full day of education in a couple of hours. You give, you can give them the same amount of education
00:42:42.340
that they will get if they were in, in a public school building or more, only you could do it in
00:42:47.800
two hours or less as opposed to seven. And why is that? Because there's just so much time
00:42:55.000
wasted in these classrooms on subjects that are irrelevant. They're watching movies. They're,
00:43:02.280
you know, they got to go from classroom to classroom in the hallways. They got lunch,
00:43:04.960
they got gym, they got this and that. Um, just a lot, a lot of busy work. You cut all that out
00:43:13.200
and you realize that, that, that right now there's kids are in school for longer than they need to be
00:43:21.220
a lot longer. And yeah, pre-K is just daycare. A three or four year old kid, there's, there's no
00:43:29.620
kind of formal sit down education that you're going to give to a four year old. Um, at that age,
00:43:38.900
at that age, you know how kids learn, they learn through playing. You, you learn education is
00:43:44.840
through, through just being kids and playing games. That's how they learn. And no, you don't
00:43:50.820
need to be in a, in a classroom setting in order to do that. Um, T Loco says, Matt, got to say,
00:43:58.400
I lost a ton of respect for you with your comments on the peacock story. Killing a bird because it's
00:44:03.180
doing what it naturally does. There's no reason to kill it. Would you want to live next to neighbors
00:44:06.940
like that? Hope they hang the bastards who killed it and paid for the contract? Really? Really?
00:44:12.500
T Loco? The person who killed a peacock, you want to hang them. You think they should be killed?
00:44:19.140
But eye for eye here, blood for blood, a peacock for a human life. That's what you think?
00:44:25.740
Yeah. I got a lot of backlash for my position on the peacock story. There was a peacock that had
00:44:31.040
been terrorized. You didn't watch the show. You'll say there's a peacock that had been terrorizing
00:44:33.840
this neighborhood. Um, and peacocks, yeah, they have pretty beautiful flat feathers, but they also
00:44:38.340
make a really loud, annoying sound and they don't shut up. And so this peacock had been visiting this
00:44:43.120
neighborhood for six years, tormenting people at all hours of the day. And finally, someone put an
00:44:47.800
ad out on Craigslist and said, Hey, you know, I'm looking for someone who could just kill this peacock,
00:44:52.040
hired a peacock assassin. And next thing you know, the peacock was taken care of. And I fully support that.
00:44:57.520
I, I support your right to kill annoying peacocks. I do. And listen, T Loco, you, like I said yesterday,
00:45:06.480
I know damn well. And so do you that if this was a vulture or a crow, you know, if there was some
00:45:15.440
crow that had been going through people's garbage or, or, or even a wild Turkey, some ugly animal that
00:45:24.060
doesn't have the pretty feathers, you wouldn't care that anyone shot it. You would say, Oh, that's a
00:45:29.020
pest. We have some animals that are pests and some animals that are not. And if you kill the pest,
00:45:36.180
it's okay. But if you kill the animals that aren't pests, it's bad. How do we determine the pest from
00:45:40.480
the non-pest? Mostly it's just whichever one we think is cute. So a lot of backlash for that. I, I'm,
00:45:47.840
I am unwavering though, in my, my stance on this and my support for, um, for murdering peacocks,
00:45:53.800
only the annoying ones. I'm not saying if someone has a peacock farm, I'm not saying you just,
00:45:57.860
you can go there and just start, start firing away. I'm just saying
00:46:01.640
the ones who are pests, I support that. And then, um, in fact, uh, our producers, McKenna and Sean put a,
00:46:11.620
so I thought that I was in the minority, but they put a poll up under the comments there.
00:46:15.440
And I guess, what was it? Was it a 25 to 21 in favor of killing the peacock? That's what I was
00:46:20.120
told. Okay. 25 to 21. So I'm not fully in the minority like I thought I was. Um, and then finally,
00:46:28.560
Aaron says, my siblings have used peacock calls to get each other's attention for years. Very distinct
00:46:33.600
sound. Wait, my siblings have used peacock calls to get each other's attention. Are your siblings
00:46:42.440
peacocks? Are they humans? Why not just use each other's names? What? How do you put that in the
00:46:48.820
comments? Like it's a normal thing with, with no explanation, no context. Oh yeah. My, my siblings
00:46:54.820
always use peacock calls. What are they adults? So you're at Thanksgiving dinner and you're, and you're
00:47:01.440
using peacock calls to each other across the table. Do you have names? What kind of bizarre thing is that?
00:47:10.480
All right. Well, thanks for watching anyway, Aaron. Oh, one other thing. Um, I also wanted
00:47:16.400
to mention this, this is pretty exciting. So this was presented to me yesterday. You know, that, uh,
00:47:21.540
that we recently decided if you're a fan of this show, you are a member of the sweet baby gang.
00:47:26.600
That's the name, whether you like it or not, if you're, if you're in the audience, you're part of
00:47:30.840
the sweet baby gang. Uh, how did we come up with that name? It's it's, you have to be there. It's an
00:47:35.200
inside joke. I'm not going to get into it. I don't even remember where this came from,
00:47:38.440
but it's a sweet baby gang. That's what we are. And, uh, there have been people in the comments
00:47:42.240
for, for weeks now, uh, begging for sweet baby gang merchandise. And this was presented to me
00:47:49.620
yesterday and we finally have it sort of, um, I guess I'll show that here's the bicep cam and I
00:47:54.820
think maybe you could probably see better. So that's a sweet baby gang shirt. It says sweet baby
00:48:00.020
gang. And then I was shown this shirt and, uh, I, it's a beautiful shirt and it's also viscerally
00:48:05.420
deeply disturbing at the same time because there is me with a diaper on crawling on the
00:48:12.220
ground. So I, I, I'm disturbed by it. I'm horrified. Um, but I also like it at the same
00:48:17.820
time. So now this is not for sale though. This is just for me. We haven't actually put
00:48:24.340
these on sale. So this is merchandise just for me. If, but if you want sweet baby gang,
00:48:28.820
if you want that shirt, then you have to just, you have to let us know, cry out for it in the
00:48:35.780
comments. And, uh, maybe I can convince them to actually put this. I don't know if the, if the
00:48:39.620
company would be too embarrassed to sell this or it's just too weird. I'm not sure, but we'll, uh,
00:48:45.100
we'll see. You know, if you're the do it yourself or type, especially when it comes to cars,
00:48:49.100
then, uh, then, you know, you, you might find yourself needing auto parts. Where do you get them?
00:48:54.300
Other than what most people do is they just get in the car and they go to an auto parts store.
00:48:57.300
But the problem, as I'm always telling you, is that you go there, you're wasting time,
00:49:00.980
you're wasting money because the stuff's going to be more expensive than it otherwise should be.
00:49:04.740
And they're also probably not going to have what you need in stock. They're not going to have the
00:49:07.240
kind of selection that they do at rockauto.com, which you can access anytime, um, just on your
00:49:13.200
phone, on your laptop. It's as easy as that. Just go to rockauto.com. They always offer the lowest
00:49:17.620
prices possible. If you find it at rockauto.com, you don't need to keep a window shopping because you
00:49:22.940
know that you found the best price possible. They're also a family business. They've been
00:49:26.980
serving auto parts customers online for 20 years. You can go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and
00:49:31.880

00:49:45.680
narrow it down that way. So it's very easy to do. So go to rockauto.com right now, see all the parts
00:49:50.460

00:49:54.900
that we sent you. Here's something else you could do after you go to rockauto.com.
00:49:59.400
Pick up Michael Knowles' new book, which you may have heard him mentioned a time or two. It's now
00:50:03.260
out, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds. And this is all about, you know, we hear
00:50:08.240
about political correctness. Most people say that they're against it, but with Speechless,
00:50:14.560
Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, if you haven't picked up a copy, now's the time to do it. The book
00:50:17.860
takes you through the origins of political correctness and why it's absolutely essential that we
00:50:22.440
stand up and fight its insidious spread into every public institution in America. Because if we don't,
00:50:28.360
the consequences are waiting for us and our children in the not too distant future. If you
00:50:33.080
don't know where to start, don't worry, because in the book, Michael Knowles gives you the tools you
00:50:37.660
need to understand and spot political correctness in order to stop it. It's a great book, a lot of great
00:50:42.740
insight. And so pick up a copy now, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, available
00:50:47.780
everywhere right now. If you don't want to make a trip to the bookstore, you can always pick it up
00:50:50.700
on Amazon in hardcover and Kindle edition right now. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:50:59.560
Today we cancel Scarlett Johansson. She's doing the media rounds to promote her new superhero movie,
00:51:05.240
which is, I believe, the 94th film in the Marvel Extended Universe. Interestingly enough, even though
00:51:10.480
it has produced so many movies, it turns out that this universe is quite small because all of the
00:51:14.980
movies are exactly the same. They all have the same basic plot and action sequences and message.
00:51:21.040
Not to spoil anything, but the message for all of these movies to summarize is, bad guy is bad.
00:51:28.300
Punch bad guy. Kick bad guy. Good guy win. The end. Now buy the merchandise. That's basically the
00:51:35.600
message and the point of all these movies. Now, I may be selling Marvel a little short here because
00:51:39.940
sometimes the movies do have a deeper message, which brings us to Scarlett Johansson and her
00:51:44.160
interview with Glamour Magazine. She was asked about the deeper themes and messages of her new film,
00:51:48.880
Black Widow, which is a movie about an attractive woman in a leather jumpsuit kicking people.
00:51:54.500
At least that's what it's about on the surface. But what is the film really saying? What is it truly
00:52:00.420
trying to convey about the nature of kicking and jumpsuits and hot blonde chicks? Here's Johansson
00:52:08.720
Well, I do think the film is inherently female, partly because of Kate Shortland directing it. It
00:52:18.180
definitely has, you know, it sheds light on, it sheds light on a, you know, on an imbalance,
00:52:32.420
I think, that women feel like inherently because of how our society is, has been forever, thousands
00:52:42.180
and thousands of years. And, you know, the movie is about the subjugation of women and, you know,
00:52:51.260
the trauma that we have to help one another out of.
00:52:57.420
Oh, okay. Now, to be fair to Scarlett here, the actual question she was asked verbatim,
00:53:03.600
this was a question. How important is it to push the conversation around gendered superheroes?
00:53:08.280
That question doesn't mean anything. She was apparently being interviewed by a random
00:53:13.020
progressive buzzword generator. So she did her best to take the discussion to someplace that was
00:53:17.940
moderately intelligible. But she was hobbled again by the fact that the movie she's promoting is
00:53:22.700
incredibly bad and stupid and exists almost entirely as a vehicle to sell toys and promote
00:53:28.000
the brand. That's all Marvel. Marvel movies are made by algorithms, not people. I would respect her
00:53:34.220
if she just said that, but she can't. So instead, she reaches for some kind of socially
00:53:37.860
conscious message. And she kept reaching in response to the next question, which was again,
00:53:43.060
verbatim, what have you been your own? When have you been your own ally the most?
00:53:49.200
That was the question. When have you been your own ally the most? So once again, the question makes
00:53:55.320
no sense, but here's what she said. Oh my gosh. Yeah. I think you have to be all that as a woman,
00:54:02.000
you have to be all the time. You know, because we are undermined and underserved and underappreciated
00:54:12.540
and underpaid. And you have to be your own ally. You know, my mom instilled that in me from when I was
00:54:18.980
really, really young. Um, because of course she'd experienced it even more severely than I,
00:54:25.680
than I did. And, you know, equal pay is a huge part of, of that fight. Um, when I, even when I was
00:54:33.700
a teenager in the industry or a young woman, I should say, my mom, you know, would have those
00:54:40.540
conversations. Like what, why is she not getting, you know, it had never had anything to do.
00:54:46.040
There was always these, these, like these little key terms, like, um, you know, bankability and,
00:54:55.180
you know, box office draw. And those are all, uh, way, those are all terms that are basically
00:55:01.260
masquerading as sexism. Okay. Um, undermined, underserved, underappreciated, underpaid.
00:55:11.540
This poor woman, I might have to start another GoFundMe, I'm thinking. She can barely make ends
00:55:18.360
meet. She's on the verge of starvation. Nobody appreciates her or serves her or pays her.
00:55:23.400
This is a real problem. I saw Scarlett Johansson out on a street corner just the other day,
00:55:26.840
huddled under a blanket with a jar full of coins. Uh, you know, it, it, it, or I think it was Scarlett
00:55:31.920
Johansson. Might've been, might've been just a drunk guy. I don't know, but consider this and get ready
00:55:37.420
to burst into tears when you hear this. Scarlett Johansson only makes about $50 million a year.
00:55:45.420
At least that's what she earned in 2019. Only $50 million. This is a real life handmaid's tale.
00:55:52.860
This is the patriarchy plain as day. We are living in a country where a woman can only make $50 million
00:55:59.040
in a calendar year. Now you might say that $50 million is quite a lot of money. You might say
00:56:04.280
that Scarlett Johansson, rich, beautiful, famous, beloved, not beloved by me, especially, but by
00:56:09.360
other people. Um, you might say that she should simply be happy and grateful because life has
00:56:14.060
granted her all of the material blessings a person can ever hope to be given. But the problem for
00:56:20.120
Johansson is that although she has so much, still other people have more. Yes, she makes a ton of money
00:56:26.860
off of her Marvel films, but male action heroes, male action stars make two tons of money. They make
00:56:33.920
even more. And it must be because of sexism, she says. Yes, it must. Or maybe women in Hollywood
00:56:41.440
generally get paid less, still a lot, but less because the movies that make all the money are
00:56:48.920
action movies, especially superhero movies. And those kinds of movies are more successful. That is more
00:56:54.940
people watch them. They sell more tickets. They get more downloads on streaming when they star men.
00:57:00.700
In other words, male stars get paid more because they're worth more in terms of pure dollars and
00:57:05.100
cents. The Daily Wire article reporting on this story gives the example of the two most recent films
00:57:10.280
starring new superheroes in the Marvel cinematic universe, Black Panther and Captain Marvel.
00:57:15.580
Um, the former earned $700 million domestically while the latter earned $427 million.
00:57:20.340
The former was led by a man, the latter by a woman. And these are, that's generally how these things
00:57:25.920
go. Why? Well, I think it's because audiences in general mostly prefer to see men in these kinds
00:57:35.900
of roles. Most members of the audience would never say that because they can't say that, but the box
00:57:43.280
office speaks for itself. Um, generally that's what the audience wants. The studios and Hollywood,
00:57:52.260
that's not what they want. That's not what they want us to want as an audience, but it is what the
00:57:57.520
audience wants. Part of that is because the studios, why are the female action movies and superhero
00:58:03.980
movies less popular? Part of that is because the studios can't help but inject a bunch of cringy girl
00:58:08.740
power stuff into the female action movies. And so audiences are turned off by that while the male
00:58:14.540
action movies will just be action movies. But also part of it is that men most of the time from the
00:58:21.280
audience's perspective, make more compelling and convincing action heroes. Perhaps it's mentally
00:58:28.880
exhausting for the audience to watch a 112 pound blonde woman in this kind of role because you have
00:58:33.940
to strain a bit to take the movie seriously when she's beating up like 14 armed thugs at once.
00:58:39.960
You don't have to strain quite as much watching like The Rock do the same, even though it's fiction
00:58:45.240
in both cases. I'm just speculating here. Whatever the reason, the fact is that these sorts of movies,
00:58:51.780
when there is a man in the starring role, tend to perform better. Audiences tend to be more interested.
00:58:57.120
So those stars get paid a little more. It's not sexism, it's economics.
00:59:01.120
And that's why I must say to Scarlett Johansson, not because she's a woman,
00:59:06.460
but just because she's a whiny, entitled narcissist, you are canceled.
00:59:13.540
Scarlett Johansson is canceled. Grad students are canceled. But you know who is not canceled?
00:59:21.120
The sweet baby gang. Thanks for watching as always. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Godspeed.

Hey, everybody. This is Andrew Klavan, host of The Andrew Klavan Show. You know,
01:00:19.520
some people are depressed because the republic is collapsing, the end of days is approaching,
01:00:23.840
and the moon's turned to blood. But on The Andrew Klavan Show, that's where the fun just gets started.
01:00:28.760
So come on over to The Andrew Klavan Show and laugh your way through the fall of the republic with me,
