The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 771 - Eat, Drink, And Be Merry, For Tomorrow You'll Probably Get COVID

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, many people are very upset after Obama flouted every COVID safety guideline to throw himself a giant birthday party over the weekend.

00:00:07.560 But I think there are some important lessons we can take from this, which go beyond simple outrage.

00:00:11.700 And I'll explain today. Also, some truly inspiring, not to mention hilarious video of one old guy who has no time for the left's gender nonsense.

00:00:20.180 You have to see this. I'll play that. And the media claims that children's hospitals are filling up with COVID patients.

00:00:25.300 Is that even remotely true? Plus, a prison inmate gets 25 years for beating a child rapist to death in prison.

00:00:32.480 If you already feel like that sentence is grossly unfair, wait until you hear the rest of the story.

00:00:37.660 And then in our daily cancellation, I will confront Nike over its latest commercial, which you will not be able to watch without dying of secondhand embarrassment.

00:00:45.300 All of that and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:55.300 We're very excited to have a new sponsor on the show today by Optimizers.

00:00:59.600 One of the best things you can possibly do to improve your health is get at least seven hours of quality sleep every night.

00:01:06.860 I rarely do, which is why I am decaying in front of your eyes.

00:01:11.260 I know there are hundreds of reasons why you might not get enough sleep.

00:01:14.540 I sleep. I've, as I said, been there myself.

00:01:16.840 But one of the biggest reasons might be magnesium deficiency.

00:01:20.560 And I'm always telling people this when they complain about not getting enough sleep.

00:01:23.300 I say, how's your magnesium doing?

00:01:25.320 You see, magnesium is key to getting good sleep.

00:01:27.200 But 75% of people are actually magnesium deficient.

00:01:30.580 Is it any wonder so many people have sleep problems?

00:01:32.280 To help fix sleep problems and fully enjoy the calming effects of magnesium,

00:01:36.500 I recommend Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

00:01:40.000 It's the only organic full-spectrum magnesium supplement that includes seven unique forms of magnesium.

00:01:46.800 BiOptimizer sounds like a transformer.

00:01:48.500 It's not. It's something that you need for your sleep.

00:01:50.980 Magnesium Breakthrough is 100% organic and made with vegetarian, non-GMO ingredients.

00:01:54.920 In fact, I would take it myself if it was kosher.

00:01:58.560 If it was kosher.

00:01:59.680 I think this was written for Ben Shapiro.

00:02:02.080 But it is important to read kosher.

00:02:04.720 For an exclusive offer for my listeners, go to magbreakthrough.com forward slash Walsh

00:02:08.980 and use Walsh 10 during checkout to save 10%.

00:02:11.780 The first problem with Obama's raucous, opulent 60th birthday party this past weekend is that he's a grown man throwing a birthday party for himself.

00:02:20.600 As I have long argued, nobody should have a birthday party between the ages of 16 and 100.

00:02:25.720 Before that point and after, you may be excused for wanting your friends and family to celebrate you for simply living another year.

00:02:32.220 But in between, your birthday party, such as it is, should consist of eating a piece of cake, opening a card with a $50 gift card to Chili's, and that's it.

00:02:42.960 The whole ceremony should last no more than 25 minutes, and everybody can get back to their lives.

00:02:47.880 That, anyway, is my approach to birthdays, but as mentioned, it certainly was not Obama's.

00:02:51.820 The Daily Wire reports, quote, photos and videos were leaked from former President Barack Obama's 60th birthday party over the weekend,

00:02:58.720 despite a photography ban that was implemented for those who were invited.

00:03:03.080 Quote, celebrities, politicians, and a couple hundred other close friends and family members

00:03:06.640 packed in to celebrate former President Barack Obama's 60th birthday Saturday

00:03:10.480 in what was billed as a scaled-back bash amid rising concerns about the fast-spreading Delta variant of COVID,

00:03:16.080 according to the New York Post.

00:03:16.940 Yet, A-listers streamed into Martha's Vineyard for the swanky soiree at Obama's $12 million seaside mansion,

00:03:23.640 and few were spotted wearing masks.

00:03:25.740 Rapper Trap Beckham and manager T.J. Chapman allegedly snapped and posted images from the birthday bash

00:03:31.560 and were later forced to delete.

00:03:33.220 A separate report from the Daily Mail stated that hundreds of people attended the event,

00:03:37.080 which comes after reports said that it was supposed to be significantly scaled back

00:03:40.320 from nearly 500 guests and roughly 200 event staff.

00:03:44.300 Now, we should note that, as it is noted there,

00:03:50.220 that nary a mask was seen in any of the leaked footage from the birthday extravaganza.

00:03:55.460 Hundreds of people packed together, including prominent figures from D.C. and Hollywood,

00:03:59.440 dancing and carrying on, spraying their unmasked fumes on one another.

00:04:04.920 And as they did this, of course, states across the country are reinstating mask mandates.

00:04:10.880 Lockdowns are coming next.

00:04:12.060 Millions of children also will be subjected to these regulations as they return to school,

00:04:16.920 if they return to school.

00:04:18.880 And meanwhile, countless Americans have lost their businesses.

00:04:21.580 Elderly people in nursing homes have been forced to die alone by the thousands with no contact with their families.

00:04:27.340 Average people forced to endure unspeakable hardship, all in the name of COVID safety,

00:04:32.480 while the elites, the very people pushing these policies and instating them,

00:04:36.980 partied up on Martha's Vineyard.

00:04:38.340 But don't worry, though, the White House correspondent for The New York Times went on CNN yesterday

00:04:42.800 and explained why this is all actually OK.

00:04:46.420 Listen.

00:04:47.600 Other people said, you know, this is really being overblown.

00:04:52.000 They're following all the safety precautions.

00:04:54.580 People are going to sporting events that are bigger than this.

00:04:57.240 This is going to be safe.

00:04:58.520 This is a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd, and this is just about optics.

00:05:02.920 It's not about safety.

00:05:04.960 Ah, yes.

00:05:06.000 The greatest protection from the virus is sophistication.

00:05:10.260 I guess that's why, according to studies I've read, nobody has ever gotten COVID

00:05:13.480 while sitting in an expensive leather chair and reading 19th century French literature

00:05:18.080 while classical music is playing in the background.

00:05:20.300 Nobody ever has, according to studies that I made up.

00:05:22.920 But then again, that's a different kind of sophistication than the sophistication of a 60-year-old

00:05:27.640 man dancing to rap music at his birthday party.

00:05:30.220 So I don't know.

00:05:30.700 I guess we'll need some more studies to sort all of this out.

00:05:33.180 In any case, obviously many people are quite upset about the perceived double standard on

00:05:38.220 display here.

00:05:38.940 But it's important to keep a couple of things in mind.

00:05:42.460 First, this is not really a double standard at all.

00:05:47.580 The message from the elites is quite simple and remarkably consistent.

00:05:50.960 They are better than us.

00:05:52.800 They are more important.

00:05:54.720 They reside on a different and more significant plane of existence.

00:05:59.140 The rules are for us, not them.

00:06:01.220 They're very clear about that.

00:06:03.140 You see, it doesn't matter if we are deprived of life's joys or even life's necessities,

00:06:08.980 or if it matters, it doesn't matter that much.

00:06:12.560 So let's be fair about that.

00:06:14.180 They're not saying it doesn't matter at all.

00:06:16.160 They're just saying it doesn't matter that much.

00:06:18.280 It's not a big concern.

00:06:19.680 Like you might see a mouse in a cage and feel a little bad that all it has is some water

00:06:26.180 and maybe an old cardboard tube to run through.

00:06:28.660 And you might feel kind of bad.

00:06:29.960 It's like you think, what kind of life would that be?

00:06:32.020 But then you figure it can manage.

00:06:33.840 It can make do because it's a mouse.

00:06:36.260 And you are you.

00:06:37.360 You wouldn't want to live that way, but it's just a mouse.

00:06:40.060 Obama and his friends feel about us how we feel about the mouse.

00:06:44.300 They look down on us in our cage and say, ah, poor things trapped in there.

00:06:50.480 Well, it's probably for the best.

00:06:52.300 Anyway, back to the party.

00:06:53.600 And then that's what they do.

00:06:55.600 They get back to dancing and sipping their $40 cocktails.

00:06:59.100 This is not a double standard.

00:07:00.940 Really, it's one standard.

00:07:03.000 The standard is important people can do important people things.

00:07:08.260 Unimportant people can make do with their cage.

00:07:12.380 They're not going to come out and say that exactly, but they'll get pretty damn close to saying it if you pay attention.

00:07:17.140 One other point, rather than wasting energy, getting mad at Obama and his ilk, I think it's better to emulate them, at least in one way.

00:07:34.240 Do as they do, you know, live as they live.

00:07:37.720 You might not have their financial means and hopefully you don't share their moral derangement or their belief that most of the world's population is subhuman and inferior to yourself.

00:07:46.540 Hopefully you don't share that part, but you should follow their lead, at least in this respect.

00:07:50.980 They clearly are not worried about COVID.

00:07:53.460 They never have been.

00:07:54.940 They want you to fear it, but they don't.

00:07:57.800 They're living their lives.

00:07:59.220 They always have been living their lives.

00:08:01.240 They never stopped.

00:08:03.500 This has been the case all along.

00:08:05.300 We keep seeing these stories about birthday parties and celebrations and having banquets and everything.

00:08:10.180 They want you to cower and shake in fear, locking yourself away, hiding behind a muzzle whenever you leave the house.

00:08:16.540 But that's not how they conduct themselves.

00:08:20.540 They are living normally.

00:08:23.060 So should you.

00:08:24.880 Now, I don't know if this will make you feel better or not, but you should realize that COVID is probably endemic at this point.

00:08:34.060 And what that means is it's not going anywhere.

00:08:36.740 We will always have it with us.

00:08:38.520 What's more, you're going to get COVID if you haven't already.

00:08:44.360 You are going to get it.

00:08:46.780 You will.

00:08:48.220 Now, they tell us now that even the vaccinated are getting it in large numbers.

00:08:52.120 That's what they're telling us.

00:08:54.040 So everyone's getting it.

00:08:56.000 Everyone will get it.

00:08:56.980 So what are you worried about?

00:09:00.140 What is there to be anxious about?

00:09:01.760 Anxiety comes from the unknown.

00:09:04.320 When you don't know what's going to happen, that's what makes people anxious.

00:09:07.380 You walk into a dark room.

00:09:08.440 You can't see anything.

00:09:09.140 You don't know what's in there.

00:09:10.580 That's why people are anxious in the dark.

00:09:13.220 But this is not an unknown.

00:09:15.820 There's a lot of certainty here.

00:09:18.100 Almost a sort of comforting certainty.

00:09:19.960 It's out there and you'll get it.

00:09:22.080 You'll get a lot of other stuff, too.

00:09:23.440 You'll get cancer eventually.

00:09:25.240 100% guaranteed you will get cancer unless you die first.

00:09:28.020 That's the only way out. 0.99

00:09:29.700 And you will die. 1.00

00:09:31.500 As I've tried to remind you many times, you will die. 1.00

00:09:34.760 You will suffer and you will die.

00:09:36.340 And you cannot escape it.

00:09:38.200 This is the life you were born into.

00:09:40.680 All living beings were born into it.

00:09:43.000 What makes us unique is that we're aware of our situation.

00:09:46.340 We know that we'll die.

00:09:47.500 We can count the days.

00:09:48.520 We can see the graves and know that soon we'll be in one.

00:09:51.080 So there are two paths you can take once you've contemplated these facts.

00:09:55.160 And you should contemplate them.

00:09:57.420 One is to hide away.

00:09:58.580 To be paralyzed in fear.

00:10:00.520 To be so worried about protecting your life that you don't do anything with it.

00:10:03.880 Treating life like some sort of collector's item.

00:10:07.160 Keeping it up in the package, up on the shelf.

00:10:11.600 Out of harm's way. 0.91

00:10:13.580 Just useless up there. 0.66

00:10:15.600 The other path is to go outside. 0.55

00:10:17.360 Feel the sun.

00:10:17.960 Breathe the air.

00:10:18.800 Live your life while you can.

00:10:19.840 Because what else is there to do with it?

00:10:21.460 The elites in this country have certainly chosen that path.

00:10:25.820 They get a lot of other things wrong.

00:10:28.360 I wouldn't suggest modeling yourself after them in any way except that.

00:10:31.920 They are living their lives while telling you to go and walk the other path.

00:10:38.040 Don't listen to them.

00:10:39.940 Do as they do on this point.

00:10:42.420 Not as they say.

00:10:44.480 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:10:45.740 And now time to check in with Rock Auto.

00:10:54.540 I don't know if I've ever mentioned this to you before.

00:10:57.200 But why go to the auto parts store when you can just go to rockauto.com?

00:11:03.220 Especially when it's so hot outside.

00:11:05.840 Mosquitoes are going crazy.

00:11:06.840 I mean, I really just walk.

00:11:08.020 I avoid the outside right now.

00:11:10.140 I'm more of a hermit than usual.

00:11:12.140 But just walking from my car to the door.

00:11:14.080 However, I'll get attacked by about 56 mosquitoes.

00:11:17.440 One more reason that you want to stay inside.

00:11:19.600 And if you need auto parts, pull out your phone.

00:11:56.000 Walsh.

00:11:56.640 And they're how did you hear about us, Spock, so they know that we sent you.

00:11:59.540 All right.

00:11:59.820 Let's jump right into this because I am excited about this.

00:12:04.280 And I saw this video on Friday shortly after the show wrapped.

00:12:08.180 And I've just been waiting for Monday so that I, if you haven't seen it, I could play it for you.

00:12:13.040 And we can give this gentleman the credit he deserves.

00:12:18.040 So before we play the clips here, here's the post.

00:12:21.460 The headline from the New York Post says,

00:12:24.100 Store owner gets in heated exchange with transgender woman over offensive sign. 0.57

00:12:29.400 It's an offensive sign, we're told.

00:12:33.080 And that's many headlines saying that.

00:12:34.480 Offensive.

00:12:34.940 He's being offensive.

00:12:36.860 And then we're told,

00:12:37.880 The owner of a Washington State Star Wars memorabilia store got caught on video

00:12:42.100 having a shouting match with a transgender politician who confronted him over a sign in his window that said, 0.99

00:12:47.500 If you're born with a penis, you are not a chick. 1.00

00:12:50.080 Only they use the word for penis that rhymes with chick. 1.00

00:12:53.500 If you're born with that, you're not a chick. 1.00

00:12:55.440 That's what the sign said.

00:12:56.900 That's the offensive sign.

00:12:57.960 It's a, that's, that is a plain fact.

00:13:03.560 So this man already, here's what we know about this man.

00:13:07.320 He believes in the truth.

00:13:10.060 And he's a, he's an advocate for science education because that's what that sign is.

00:13:15.760 It is educating you on a, a, a, a unavoidable fact of biological science.

00:13:22.920 But the article goes on and says,

00:13:24.460 Tiesa Meskes, a council woman, quote unquote, in the town of Aberdeen, stormed into the Sucher and Sons Star Wars shop and had words with owner Don Sucher on Wednesday over the handwritten message that he posted.

00:13:37.060 According to King5TV.

00:13:38.300 Um, you could see, um, you could see, and we'll play the video here.

00:13:41.360 This is where the video picks up.

00:13:43.840 Uh, Meskes comes in, is shouting at Sucher, saying trans women are women, so on and so forth.

00:13:50.040 Very offended by the sign.

00:13:52.040 And, uh, that's where the video picks up and we'll play it right now.

00:13:55.120 Here it is.

00:13:55.460 I'm telling you right now, as a trans woman, trans women are women. 0.99

00:14:00.600 Well, I'm telling you, as a man, that's bull****. 0.99

00:14:03.960 Uh-huh. 0.99

00:14:04.780 It is, it's total bull****. 0.99

00:14:07.400 Okay. 0.99

00:14:07.640 You know what? 0.99

00:14:08.240 Nobody confronts your ****. 0.99

00:14:09.800 That's the problem. 0.99

00:14:10.860 Really?

00:14:11.260 If they say.

00:14:12.000 Really?

00:14:12.480 What the.

00:14:13.020 You want to bet? 0.98

00:14:13.800 What the **** is going on? 0.98

00:14:15.580 Do you know how many people you've embarrassed at City Hall? 0.99

00:14:18.900 Oh, wow.

00:14:19.700 Me, an embarrassment to City Hall?

00:14:21.140 They have to tolerate that? 0.99

00:14:22.820 You're an embarrassment to this city, sir. 1.00

00:14:24.360 You are an embarrassment to this city. 1.00

00:14:25.860 I am a pillar in this city. 1.00

00:14:27.440 I'm a pillar in this city.

00:14:29.700 Now, you do that.

00:14:30.820 Do you know why?

00:14:31.700 Every time some bull**** like this happens, my sales go up because people are wanting this.

00:14:38.220 Really? 0.61

00:14:38.720 Really?

00:14:39.060 Really?

00:14:39.360 Really?

00:14:39.520 We're going to show them this side of you and hopefully.

00:14:42.100 You do it.

00:14:42.760 You do it.

00:14:43.440 You do it really good because guess what?

00:14:45.540 Hopefully we can wake you up. 1.00

00:14:47.100 You are **** nuts. 1.00

00:14:48.480 Let's wake you up. 1.00

00:14:49.240 You are nuts. 1.00

00:14:50.360 You're not a woman. 1.00

00:14:51.200 You don't look like a woman. 1.00

00:14:52.440 You don't act like a woman. 1.00

00:14:53.800 Really? 1.00

00:14:54.980 You're **** in the head. 1.00

00:14:56.660 What's wrong with you? 1.00

00:14:57.680 I'm **** in the head. 0.99

00:14:58.480 I am. 0.99

00:14:59.180 I am confronting you.

00:15:00.900 Yes, sir. 0.99

00:15:01.240 That you are ****. 0.99

00:15:02.500 And I am confronting you. 0.99

00:15:04.820 Oh, man.

00:15:05.820 That is.

00:15:08.360 This guy.

00:15:09.040 I want to adopt him as my grand.

00:15:10.060 I want him to adopt me and be my grandfather.

00:15:11.880 That's what I want.

00:15:12.520 And this is the guy who owns a Star Wars memorabilia shop.

00:15:19.660 I mean, this is.

00:15:20.480 I am finding unity with someone who's dedicated their life to being a Star Wars fan.

00:15:27.420 What does that tell you?

00:15:30.880 And that's.

00:15:31.680 I.

00:15:32.720 Unironically.

00:15:33.200 And I don't even mean this as a joke.

00:15:34.600 I am dead serious.

00:15:35.520 If I was President of the United States, I would give him the Medal of Freedom.

00:15:37.920 And if it was up to me, I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize.

00:15:41.460 I really would.

00:15:44.500 Because I, of course, am as fed up with this as he is.

00:15:50.720 And this is what I've been.

00:15:51.960 This is what we're talking about.

00:15:52.760 This is what I'm talking about.

00:15:53.740 Last week, we always talk about it.

00:15:55.180 This is the point people.

00:15:56.900 People need to reach this point.

00:16:00.880 Where you're not going to cower and back down.

00:16:02.620 Someone comes in there and they get in your face.

00:16:04.360 This offends me.

00:16:05.140 I don't like it.

00:16:06.700 I don't care.

00:16:07.920 This is the truth.

00:16:09.560 It's just the truth.

00:16:12.240 You're not going to scare me.

00:16:14.440 Because.

00:16:15.660 Here's what makes this video so refreshing.

00:16:19.160 The beginning part of it.

00:16:21.640 We've seen that a million times.

00:16:24.100 Right?

00:16:24.340 We've seen it a million times.

00:16:25.440 Where someone in the protected class.

00:16:29.240 And the most protected class of all is quote unquote trans women. 0.72

00:16:34.160 Men who identify as women. 0.53

00:16:35.560 The most protected of all.

00:16:36.660 And once they have spoken.

00:16:39.880 That is supposed to be the end of the conversation.

00:16:42.660 Once they come along and say.

00:16:44.400 Oh.

00:16:44.980 What you just said offends me.

00:16:46.600 Then your response is supposed to be.

00:16:48.080 Well.

00:16:48.280 Never mind.

00:16:48.700 Whatever I said.

00:16:49.240 I was wrong.

00:16:49.820 I'm so sorry.

00:16:50.460 I beg for your forgiveness.

00:16:51.660 Please forgive me.

00:16:52.280 And so.

00:16:54.880 We've seen the beginning of the video.

00:16:57.360 Where the person comes in and confronts and says this offends me.

00:17:01.420 The rest of that is not usually how that ends.

00:17:03.620 Because usually the person who is the offender.

00:17:05.900 The supposed offender.

00:17:07.020 Then they start.

00:17:08.140 Then they collapse into a puddle.

00:17:09.560 And they beg for forgiveness.

00:17:11.660 And this guy just stands there and says.

00:17:13.220 I don't care.

00:17:14.220 Whatever.

00:17:15.480 It's truth.

00:17:17.660 You say you're a woman.

00:17:19.560 You're wearing a dress.

00:17:21.460 But you're not.

00:17:22.920 You're not a woman. 1.00

00:17:24.320 You just aren't.

00:17:25.500 That is not true.

00:17:27.200 It even gets better though.

00:17:30.380 Another quick clip here.

00:17:32.600 As the confrontation moves from inside the comic book.

00:17:37.080 Or the memorabilia store.

00:17:39.460 And it spills outside.

00:17:41.180 And they continue.

00:17:42.820 And this is where the trans person tells our friend Don.

00:17:48.400 That hey.

00:17:48.880 This really hurts my feelings.

00:17:50.760 I don't like how this makes me feel.

00:17:52.560 What you're saying.

00:17:53.700 And here's Don's response to that.

00:17:55.760 Let's watch.

00:17:56.100 And some people think it's hurtful.

00:17:58.560 Well.

00:17:58.920 He told us that this hurts.

00:17:59.840 But here's the thing. 0.81

00:18:00.800 I don't give a **** about feelings anymore.

00:18:03.080 I'm 70 **** M8.

00:18:05.200 I went to Vietnam to fight for all ****.

00:18:08.280 Do you think I care about some **** feelings?

00:18:11.580 Absolutely not.

00:18:13.940 Thank you sir.

00:18:15.480 That's it.

00:18:16.820 And this is especially what we need.

00:18:18.200 We need.

00:18:19.660 You know.

00:18:20.220 And I hate to say this.

00:18:21.260 I wish that my generation.

00:18:22.640 Or the younger generations.

00:18:23.480 Could stand up against that.

00:18:24.780 But they're.

00:18:25.080 But unfortunately there are so few of us that are.

00:18:27.180 That are.

00:18:27.680 That even have our.

00:18:28.820 Our heads screwed on correctly with this.

00:18:32.420 And in the younger generations.

00:18:33.720 I mean.

00:18:33.860 They've been indoctrinated into this from.

00:18:35.840 From.

00:18:36.440 From infancy.

00:18:37.580 So it's almost hopeless.

00:18:39.060 What we really need.

00:18:42.220 Sort of like the final service.

00:18:44.320 That.

00:18:44.700 That.

00:18:45.200 That generation can perform for us.

00:18:47.140 And they've done.

00:18:47.760 And they've performed many other services.

00:18:49.120 We really need them to just stand up and say.

00:18:52.800 You know.

00:18:54.300 I got nothing.

00:18:55.260 This is crazy.

00:18:56.400 I know it's crazy.

00:18:57.500 I'm in my 70s.

00:18:59.240 You know.

00:18:59.520 I'm not.

00:18:59.960 You know.

00:19:00.320 I'm.

00:19:00.760 I'm reaching the end of.

00:19:02.020 Of my life here eventually.

00:19:04.860 And this is just nuts.

00:19:06.060 What.

00:19:06.260 What do I got to lose?

00:19:07.840 And that's.

00:19:08.140 This guy's attitude.

00:19:08.760 He's 78.

00:19:09.260 As he says.

00:19:09.800 He's 70.

00:19:11.140 Bleeping.

00:19:11.600 Eight years old.

00:19:13.680 What.

00:19:14.040 What does he got?

00:19:14.580 What are you.

00:19:14.760 What are you going to take from him?

00:19:16.400 He runs a Star Wars shop.

00:19:19.200 What do you have all over his head?

00:19:24.420 But you see.

00:19:25.320 Even.

00:19:25.840 And that's how pervasive this.

00:19:27.380 Has become.

00:19:27.920 That even this.

00:19:28.860 Kind of altercation.

00:19:29.680 Between a.

00:19:30.120 Much older person.

00:19:32.100 Who has.

00:19:32.620 Lived.

00:19:33.180 They've lived their entire life.

00:19:34.900 For the first.

00:19:35.380 You know.

00:19:35.560 This guy.

00:19:36.440 The first 70 years of his life.

00:19:39.240 There was.

00:19:40.080 No discussion.

00:19:41.280 At all.

00:19:41.840 About whether or not.

00:19:42.720 A man in a dress. 0.88

00:19:43.340 Is actually a woman. 0.99

00:19:44.200 It was not even discussed.

00:19:45.800 We didn't talk about it.

00:19:48.800 And then.

00:19:49.580 In his seventh decade.

00:19:51.300 All of a sudden.

00:19:52.440 He's supposed to change.

00:19:53.600 What he has known to be true.

00:19:54.980 For the past.

00:19:56.040 For the previous seven decades.

00:19:59.780 And at least.

00:20:00.640 He's willing to stand there.

00:20:01.540 And say no.

00:20:02.900 You talk.

00:20:03.380 No.

00:20:03.600 You can't.

00:20:03.820 You can't just come along here.

00:20:05.040 And expect me.

00:20:06.160 After 78 years.

00:20:07.440 To abandon everything.

00:20:08.560 I know about reality.

00:20:09.600 Because of.

00:20:10.340 Because you're upset.

00:20:12.740 And he's willing to say that.

00:20:13.960 But so many.

00:20:14.560 People.

00:20:16.060 This is not just a younger person problem.

00:20:17.940 Older people too.

00:20:20.760 I mean.

00:20:21.360 This country.

00:20:21.880 Is still being run.

00:20:24.980 Largely by people.

00:20:25.960 In their 70s.

00:20:27.420 And they've all bought in.

00:20:29.560 Joe Biden.

00:20:30.360 Is 78 years old.

00:20:33.540 And he's running.

00:20:34.380 He's.

00:20:34.840 You know.

00:20:34.960 He might as well dye his hair pink.

00:20:36.120 At this point.

00:20:38.060 Running around.

00:20:38.880 South.

00:20:39.160 He.

00:20:39.680 His.

00:20:40.100 His rhetoric.

00:20:40.720 At 78.

00:20:41.300 Joe Biden.

00:20:42.300 He sounds like a 19 year old.

00:20:44.220 Gender studies major.

00:20:48.480 And that's the case.

00:20:49.500 For so many people.

00:20:50.280 But at least.

00:20:50.740 Here's one guy.

00:20:51.720 Willing to.

00:20:53.620 Simply speak.

00:20:54.340 The simple truth.

00:20:55.080 It's.

00:20:55.600 It's sad.

00:20:58.380 That.

00:21:00.120 This is a notable event.

00:21:01.400 At all.

00:21:02.120 That I got to spend.

00:21:02.920 That I'm spending 10 minutes.

00:21:03.860 Talking about it.

00:21:04.460 There should be nothing notable.

00:21:06.960 About this whatsoever.

00:21:07.800 This is a rational guy.

00:21:10.060 Being confronted.

00:21:10.820 By an irrational person.

00:21:13.180 And simply.

00:21:14.440 Speaking.

00:21:14.800 Some really basic.

00:21:16.140 Fundamental truth.

00:21:16.920 About reality.

00:21:18.020 And that should be.

00:21:19.140 That.

00:21:19.500 That should be.

00:21:20.300 There should be nothing notable.

00:21:21.280 About that.

00:21:22.680 But it is.

00:21:23.460 Because there are so few people.

00:21:25.700 Who are willing to do that.

00:21:27.160 These days.

00:21:30.240 So.

00:21:30.840 Don Sucher.

00:21:31.440 American hero.

00:21:33.180 Let's make him president.

00:21:34.200 You know.

00:21:34.440 We're electing 78 year olds.

00:21:35.900 These days.

00:21:36.280 So why not him.

00:21:38.460 Let's see.

00:21:38.980 Moving on.

00:21:39.580 Vice President Kamala Harris.

00:21:41.620 Recorded a video.

00:21:42.880 To address the Texas voting law.

00:21:45.180 The one that Texas Democrats.

00:21:46.260 Fled the state to avoid.

00:21:47.700 And ended up spreading COVID.

00:21:49.040 All over the eastern seaboard.

00:21:50.120 In the process.

00:21:51.140 But here's what Harris.

00:21:52.380 Has to say about that.

00:21:53.080 Let's watch.

00:21:53.940 I have often thought.

00:21:55.480 These past months.

00:21:56.560 About what exactly.

00:21:57.840 President Johnson.

00:21:59.300 Would think.

00:22:00.160 About what's going on.

00:22:01.920 Especially.

00:22:02.760 Here in Texas.

00:22:04.200 A state.

00:22:04.880 That was as sacred to him.

00:22:07.040 As the vote is to democracy.

00:22:09.780 Every iteration.

00:22:11.420 Of the Texas bill.

00:22:12.880 Would in some way.

00:22:14.160 Limit.

00:22:15.220 Vote by mail.

00:22:16.740 Drive through voting.

00:22:18.120 And make it otherwise.

00:22:19.840 More difficult to vote.

00:22:21.840 There are similar bills.

00:22:23.440 Being considered.

00:22:24.580 In many other states.

00:22:26.300 Bills that would.

00:22:27.080 Severely limit.

00:22:28.400 The options voters have.

00:22:30.760 To vote.

00:22:31.900 To make it more difficult.

00:22:33.760 For them to vote.

00:22:35.700 And here's the truth.

00:22:37.800 Not everyone.

00:22:38.780 Can stand in line.

00:22:39.820 For hours.

00:22:40.720 To vote in person.

00:22:41.640 On election day.

00:22:43.160 Nor should they have to.

00:22:45.580 Americans deserve.

00:22:46.800 Options.

00:22:47.300 To be able.

00:22:49.000 To cast.

00:22:49.960 Their ballot.

00:22:51.300 And that is why.

00:22:52.940 President Joe Biden.

00:22:54.020 And I.

00:22:54.640 Are calling on Congress.

00:22:56.560 To pass.

00:22:57.780 The for the people act.

00:22:59.840 And the John Lewis.

00:23:01.440 Voting rights.

00:23:02.460 Advancement act.

00:23:04.460 Not.

00:23:05.020 Not everyone can wait in line.

00:23:06.180 For hours on election day.

00:23:07.160 Really.

00:23:07.440 Who can't.

00:23:08.560 Who is not able to do that.

00:23:11.320 Who exactly.

00:23:12.220 Are you referring to.

00:23:12.920 Okay.

00:23:18.020 I can think of one category.

00:23:20.980 Service members.

00:23:22.060 Members of the military.

00:23:22.680 Who are overseas.

00:23:24.740 Okay.

00:23:25.060 I mean.

00:23:25.280 They literally cannot.

00:23:26.860 It's just.

00:23:27.300 Not possible.

00:23:27.980 They wouldn't be allowed to leave.

00:23:29.100 They'd be prevented.

00:23:29.760 By the government.

00:23:30.420 From doing that.

00:23:32.680 So that is.

00:23:33.520 There's.

00:23:33.900 There's one group.

00:23:36.880 A.

00:23:37.260 You know.

00:23:37.560 People deployed overseas.

00:23:38.980 By the United States government.

00:23:40.760 In the military.

00:23:41.880 They are being prevented.

00:23:42.920 By the government.

00:23:44.040 From going.

00:23:44.880 And voting in person.

00:23:46.300 Which.

00:23:46.860 Makes sense.

00:23:47.360 Because you can't.

00:23:48.200 Obviously ship them all back home.

00:23:49.280 To vote.

00:23:49.640 And then back again.

00:23:50.400 Wouldn't be very efficient.

00:23:51.320 So.

00:23:51.840 There's one group.

00:23:52.520 Okay.

00:23:52.800 Fine.

00:23:54.600 You got absentee voting for that.

00:23:56.700 Who else though?

00:23:58.640 Who are these other people?

00:24:01.380 Of the people who live here.

00:24:03.120 In the United States.

00:24:03.980 And are not deployed overseas.

00:24:05.140 On some sort of.

00:24:07.160 Military mission.

00:24:08.460 Who are the people.

00:24:09.260 Who can't stand in line?

00:24:11.440 Or sit in line.

00:24:12.920 Or wait in line.

00:24:14.380 In whatever manner or fashion you prefer.

00:24:16.740 You can lie on the ground if you want to.

00:24:18.200 Probably.

00:24:19.320 I wouldn't recommend it.

00:24:20.220 But you probably could.

00:24:22.760 Who are the people that can't carve out.

00:24:24.500 And you can't tell me.

00:24:25.200 Well.

00:24:25.400 What are the people that have jobs that day?

00:24:28.180 I get it.

00:24:28.760 I have a job.

00:24:29.280 I work during the day.

00:24:30.200 But you.

00:24:32.060 It's not like you wake up one day.

00:24:35.300 And you turn on the news.

00:24:36.380 And they say.

00:24:36.800 Oh.

00:24:37.380 Election.

00:24:37.940 It's election time.

00:24:38.860 Everyone get out there and vote.

00:24:41.620 We decided to move it up a year and a half.

00:24:43.700 Randomly.

00:24:44.160 Just.

00:24:44.380 Yeah.

00:24:44.520 Kind of keep things fresh.

00:24:46.980 No.

00:24:47.360 That doesn't happen.

00:24:48.040 You know exactly when voting day is going to be.

00:24:50.740 You know years in advance.

00:24:52.520 So if you want to vote.

00:24:56.420 And your.

00:24:57.260 The hours at your job.

00:24:58.480 Wouldn't normally allow it.

00:24:59.340 You've got years.

00:25:00.700 Ahead of time.

00:25:01.420 To ask for that time off.

00:25:06.660 And many employers are.

00:25:09.800 Happy to give the time off.

00:25:11.020 For.

00:25:11.340 To go vote.

00:25:12.020 Even the ones that aren't.

00:25:12.880 Again.

00:25:13.100 You could.

00:25:13.420 If you want to go vote.

00:25:14.640 You need to use some time off.

00:25:15.800 You got.

00:25:15.980 You got plenty of time in advance.

00:25:18.060 To plan for this.

00:25:18.860 And to make sure that you could do it.

00:25:21.220 If it's really a priority.

00:25:23.480 Now you might say.

00:25:27.040 Well it's not worth it to me.

00:25:28.840 Like I don't want to.

00:25:29.440 I don't want to take a couple hours.

00:25:31.440 You know.

00:25:31.640 I only get so many hours.

00:25:32.660 That I get off.

00:25:33.460 Every year.

00:25:34.220 I don't want to.

00:25:34.660 I don't even want to use three hours.

00:25:36.080 Of my time.

00:25:37.100 To go vote.

00:25:39.780 Or it's in the middle of the week.

00:25:40.840 I got other things I want to do.

00:25:41.820 And it's just.

00:25:42.080 It's just not worth it to me.

00:25:43.260 To carve out that time.

00:25:45.100 Well then I would say.

00:25:46.140 Apparently voting.

00:25:46.940 Isn't all that important to you.

00:25:49.660 And that's fine.

00:25:51.860 As you know.

00:25:52.560 I am unlike most people.

00:25:53.980 When it comes to this.

00:25:54.760 I'm not going to sit here.

00:25:55.720 And shame you.

00:25:56.360 If you were to just come out.

00:25:57.520 And admit.

00:25:57.920 And say.

00:25:58.500 It's not that important to me.

00:26:00.000 You know.

00:26:00.240 I'll vote.

00:26:00.900 If.

00:26:01.120 If.

00:26:02.720 If they make it so easy.

00:26:04.400 That I almost.

00:26:05.900 That it's.

00:26:06.660 That even I would be convinced to do it.

00:26:08.860 Then maybe I'll do it.

00:26:09.540 But.

00:26:09.940 But other than that.

00:26:10.620 I just don't care that much.

00:26:13.200 I'm not going to shame you for that.

00:26:15.600 I'm not going to sit here and say.

00:26:16.760 Voting is a sacred right.

00:26:18.600 That all Americans must participate.

00:26:20.320 Voting is a sacred right.

00:26:22.280 Voting is a sacred right.

00:26:22.920 Our forefathers died.

00:26:24.340 So that you could go to the polls and vote.

00:26:26.360 They didn't really.

00:26:27.900 Actually.

00:26:31.380 They didn't.

00:26:32.500 They didn't.

00:26:33.240 Have in mind.

00:26:34.280 That literally every single person.

00:26:36.020 Without any restriction whatsoever.

00:26:37.660 No matter how clueless they are.

00:26:41.700 Or.

00:26:42.080 How much they.

00:26:45.160 What.

00:26:45.800 You know.

00:26:46.840 How much they do or don't contribute to society.

00:26:49.400 That everyone would go vote.

00:26:50.600 That was never the idea.

00:26:53.160 So I'm not going to say that.

00:26:54.380 You just.

00:26:54.900 Come out and admit.

00:26:55.640 It's not that important to me.

00:26:56.520 Fine.

00:26:56.760 Then stay home.

00:26:57.580 Perfectly fine.

00:26:59.080 That's a reasonable choice.

00:27:00.220 I'd rather go to work that day than vote.

00:27:01.640 Cool.

00:27:05.040 But if it's this important.

00:27:06.280 If that's what you believe.

00:27:07.020 If you believe it's a sacred right.

00:27:08.320 It's the most important thing in the world.

00:27:09.860 Blah.

00:27:10.080 Blah.

00:27:10.280 Blah.

00:27:10.500 Etc.

00:27:11.620 Then I don't see why people can't.

00:27:13.260 Carve out the time.

00:27:14.160 Given how much notice we have.

00:27:17.620 You could plan right now.

00:27:20.260 Okay.

00:27:20.460 Here we are in 2021.

00:27:21.800 You want to vote next year in the midterms.

00:27:23.700 You want to vote in the.

00:27:25.040 We're talking presidential election.

00:27:26.320 You want to vote 2024.

00:27:27.580 You got three years to get planning.

00:27:30.520 I'm sure you can handle it.

00:27:33.540 All right.

00:27:34.440 Next year.

00:27:35.120 There there's increased panicking.

00:27:38.040 At least in the media.

00:27:39.520 And they want panicking.

00:27:40.960 The media is pretending to panic.

00:27:42.860 And they want the rest of us to panic.

00:27:45.700 Over.

00:27:48.460 The.

00:27:49.960 Alleged case of children filling up the hospitals because of COVID.

00:27:54.040 That's what we're being told.

00:27:55.720 Now here's another article from the New York Post.

00:27:57.000 It says pediatric hospitals in Florida have become completely overwhelmed.

00:28:00.500 Quote unquote with young patients battling COVID-19 amid the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant.

00:28:07.400 A doctor says you always love that when they put that at the end of this statement.

00:28:11.660 They make their shocking claim.

00:28:14.160 And then you get to the end comma a random person says.

00:28:21.060 The grim development comes as Florida.

00:28:23.360 The grim alleged about development.

00:28:24.900 So I'm going to add that in there.

00:28:26.200 Comes as Florida on Sunday reported having the highest number of children.

00:28:29.320 172 hospitalized with the coronavirus.

00:28:30.760 According to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

00:28:33.400 172 children hospitalized with the coronavirus in the entire state of, what is it, like 20 million people in the entire state?

00:28:49.820 Even if that number is accurate, that overwhelms the hospitals.

00:28:54.880 In a state of 20 million people, 172 children are sick.

00:29:01.120 And that overwhelms the system.

00:29:03.400 Is what you're telling us.

00:29:06.260 What are we?

00:29:06.700 We're some kind of like third world country.

00:29:08.400 We can't even, we can't deal with that.

00:29:10.620 It's an overwhelming situation.

00:29:14.640 What the heck happens in a bad flu season?

00:29:18.200 We're not prepared for those realities at all.

00:29:23.600 Dr. Eileen Marty says the number of cases in our hospitals and children, the number of cases in our hospitals, in children, and our children's hospitals are completely overwhelmed.

00:29:33.040 Well, that sentence doesn't really make any sense at all.

00:29:34.560 The numbers of cases in our hospitals, in children, and our children's hospitals are completely overwhelmed.

00:29:40.620 What?

00:29:42.840 She said, quote, our pediatrician, this was her talking to CNN.

00:29:45.960 Oddly enough, she gave this interview to CNN.

00:29:48.420 I went online to try to find the clip of this actual interview so I could play it for you, and I couldn't find it.

00:29:54.400 Maybe it's possible I didn't look hard enough.

00:29:56.100 I only took a few minutes to look, but I wasn't able to find it.

00:29:58.460 So I'm just reading it to you now.

00:30:00.120 Our pediatricians, the nursing, the staff are exhausted, and the children are suffering.

00:30:03.520 And it is absolutely devastating.

00:30:04.760 Our children are very much affected.

00:30:06.060 We've never seen numbers like this before.

00:30:08.440 Sharp rises in hospital admissions involving kids with COVID-19 have been recorded in other states, too, including Arkansas, which had its own record number of children Wednesday hospitalized with the virus.

00:30:15.780 But this all comes from one doctor who says that the children's hospitals are overwhelmed with COVID cases.

00:30:28.260 And it's important to note, she says, that they're overwhelmed with COVID because we do know, and I guess we're supposed to believe this is some kind of coincidence,

00:30:36.800 there are other viruses and diseases among children that are spiking right now that send children to hospitals.

00:30:45.620 RSV, for example, there was a headline on Time Magazine had a headline just a couple of weeks ago, July 22nd, saying why the respiratory disease RSV is having an off-season surge.

00:30:59.060 And it's all about how this disease is surging.

00:31:01.360 And we've had, of our four kids, two of them have had, end up in a hospital with RSV, especially with babies.

00:31:07.820 It's a very serious illness.

00:31:09.300 We take it very seriously.

00:31:10.280 We've gone to the hospital with two kids because of RSV.

00:31:13.020 And if there's a surge in RSV cases, I can see how that would lead to hospitals seeing an unusual number of patients.

00:31:22.140 Still, it's, in a state with 20 million people, an unusual number of cases should not overwhelm the hospitals.

00:31:34.400 But then again, we have to keep in mind that the word overwhelm, that's not like a scientific word.

00:31:39.480 That's kind of a, that's subjective.

00:31:41.120 That's a judgment.

00:31:41.640 So we know that that's happening.

00:31:48.280 And when the media reports that, that children's hospitals are allegedly overwhelmed, are they including that in the picture and not telling us?

00:31:56.840 That's could very well be the case.

00:31:58.420 But we also have to keep in mind, we have one, one doctor in Florida who's gone on the record and said that children's hospitals specifically are overwhelmed from COVID, not from anything else.

00:32:12.100 And she's the one doctor to say that in the state.

00:32:14.540 We haven't heard from any others that have said that as far as I know.

00:32:18.520 And that conflicts with everything we've seen in the data from the very beginning.

00:32:23.420 We could run through all the numbers.

00:32:26.920 Again, I think it's off the top of my head, the mortality rate in children from coronavirus, because there's been 41, you know, almost 42 million cases.

00:32:36.920 And the number of children that have died is like three, you know, 300, less than 400 so far.

00:32:43.840 And that means that point, I think it's 0.008% of children have died from COVID.

00:32:50.640 Very, very sad when any child dies of anything.

00:32:53.420 Very sad when anyone dies of anything, especially when it's a child.

00:32:57.980 But that rate of death is extremely low.

00:33:01.500 Thank God it's so low.

00:33:03.740 We know the hospitalization rate is not quite that low, but it's extremely low as well.

00:33:11.300 All of the data from the very beginning has told us this.

00:33:14.100 And yet we have one doctor who makes a claim that contradicts that.

00:33:19.140 That is not what you would expect to see based on all the data we have.

00:33:23.420 And of course, that doctor ends up in the headlines.

00:33:25.060 Her claim ends up making a headline.

00:33:28.620 Unqualified headlines.

00:33:30.260 Florida Children's Hospital is filling up, overwhelmed.

00:33:35.500 All right.

00:33:36.300 What else we got here?

00:33:38.320 Okay.

00:33:38.840 I want to tell you about this story because this is just remarkable in a lot of bad ways.

00:33:44.500 This report is from KHQ in Washington, local news affiliate down there.

00:33:50.540 It says, there's no question that Shane Goldsby assaulted and killed Robert Munger inside the Airway Heights Correctional Center.

00:33:57.100 The question is, why were they assigned to live together in the same prison cell?

00:34:00.780 Munger, a 70-year-old convicted child rapist, died after Goldsby hit Munger in the face and head around about 14 times, stomped on his head at least four times, and kicked a couple more times before walking away and being taken into custody by correction guards.

00:34:15.840 Munger was convicted on multiple child molestation charges in 2019.

00:34:19.660 He was sentenced to 43 years in prison.

00:34:22.640 Sex offenders are considered marked men in state prisons nationwide, like in California, where sex offenders are killed in prison at a rate that is double the national average.

00:34:29.040 What about the risk, though, when a sex offender is put in the same cell with their victim's older brother?

00:34:36.060 Now, this is the part that is hard to believe, but this is what's being reported, and there are some sources for it.

00:34:43.380 It says, Goldsby himself, also Cindy Elliott, who's the mother of Goldsby and also the mother of the child that was reportedly victimized by Munger,

00:34:53.740 and an anonymous tipster said that Munger raped Goldsby's little sister, who is still a minor.

00:35:00.740 The reporter says, I talked to Goldsby, who is currently in the jail facing a new charge, premeditated murder, and then he goes on.

00:35:08.060 He talks about, he says, what he claims, and they've got apparently three sources, and this has now been reported by multiple media outlets,

00:35:13.540 that Shane Goldsby was put in a prison cell with this Munger guy, and Munger, not only a serial child rapist, that we know for sure, convicted of that, 0.68

00:35:25.760 but apparently, according to his reports, he actually raped Goldsby's little sister and told him about it. 0.92

00:35:34.080 And Munger, the rapist, told Goldsby and started taunting him with details of his little sister's rape. 0.61

00:35:41.840 And also, apparently, reportedly, Goldsby went to the prison officials, and he went through the process of trying to get transferred to a new cell, 0.91

00:35:51.360 and they wouldn't transfer him, and finally, he says he just snapped and he had enough of it, and he beat the guy to death.

00:35:57.720 And now he's getting 25 years in prison for that.

00:36:07.820 This is sort of an easy case for me to adjudicate personally, because even without the detail of this guy raping Goldsby's little sister,

00:36:17.880 even taking that aside, I wouldn't give him 25 years in prison.

00:36:22.520 Even if he was just sort of generally angry and upset that this man is a serial child rapist,

00:36:29.800 I'm not giving you 25 years in prison for that.

00:36:34.360 I mean, if anything, I'm thinking about an early release because of that.

00:36:40.920 And again, that is also not a joke. I actually, I kind of mean that sincerely.

00:36:44.480 This is why, and if you don't like it, and you say, well, we can't have vigilante killings and stuff like that in prison.

00:36:50.260 And you're right, from a reasonable perspective.

00:36:53.160 You can't have that for the sake of the safety of everyone in the prison, not the child rapists,

00:37:00.660 but everyone, including the prison guards.

00:37:02.300 You can't just, you know, allow the inmates to kill each other willy-nilly in the prison yard. 1.00

00:37:07.400 But if we're saying that child rapists are so heinous and such absolute monstrous scumbags 1.00

00:37:21.200 that you can't even put them around other scumbags, 1.00

00:37:26.320 you can't even put them around murderers and people that have done other horrible things but not that horrible. 0.99

00:37:31.340 Like, even those people don't want to be around someone like that,

00:37:38.980 then I think that tells us that this is the kind of crime where if you commit that,

00:37:43.200 we should probably, rather than leaving the inmates to take care of it,

00:37:47.920 probably the state should take care of it. 0.93

00:37:50.780 You lock that person in a cell on death row, and then you take care of them that way.

00:37:57.000 There should be, that should be an execution.

00:38:01.340 I think that's a pretty good way to judge these things.

00:38:05.300 If it's the kind of crime where we cannot put you in with general population

00:38:10.760 because they would be so disgusted by you 0.92

00:38:13.140 that they wouldn't be able to stop themselves from killing you,

00:38:17.020 then probably, it might not work this way every time, depends on what the crime is,

00:38:20.780 but that's a pretty good indication that you should be eligible for death row.

00:38:24.100 It is crazy to me that even in states where we still have capital punishment, 0.88

00:38:33.060 in no state that I'm aware of can you be executed for simply raping a child. 0.92

00:38:41.980 That's the idea. 0.99

00:38:42.740 Well, if you just do that, then we're not going to execute you. 0.99

00:38:45.360 You have to also kill someone. 0.79

00:38:47.060 As long as you haven't killed anyone, then you're not going to be eligible for death row.

00:38:52.840 So you could have someone who murdered one person.

00:38:56.520 They go on death row.

00:38:58.080 I'm fine with that. 0.99

00:38:58.860 And then you could have someone else who, let's say, raped 40 kids. 1.00

00:39:05.600 No death row for them. 0.98

00:39:06.840 Because everyone physically survived it.

00:39:11.200 Emotionally, mentally, psychologically is another story.

00:39:13.980 But physically, everyone survived it.

00:39:16.300 Even if barely.

00:39:17.920 And that's not going to be eligible for death row.

00:39:19.920 That, to me, doesn't make any sense.

00:39:20.900 There's no justice in that whatsoever.

00:39:25.140 Then you add in the detail about his sister.

00:39:27.400 Here's what I'll say. 0.98

00:39:28.020 The person who should be doing, if we're giving 25 years to anybody, it should be the prison officials responsible for putting this poor guy in a cell with the monster who raped his sister. 0.68

00:39:39.520 That's the person we give 25 years to.

00:39:43.640 For Shane Goldsby, you know, at worst, here's what I, at worst, if you feel like you have to do something, you give him a slap on the wrist.

00:39:52.620 Maybe a literal slap on the wrist.

00:39:54.100 You say, hey, don't do that. 1.00

00:39:55.640 Don't kill child rapists. 0.94

00:39:56.520 We don't do that here. 0.99

00:39:57.120 Nuh-uh, no, no.

00:39:59.180 Then send him about his day.

00:40:02.480 All right, let's move on to reading the YouTube comments.

00:40:05.700 This is from Malachi.

00:40:07.480 Interesting comment.

00:40:08.280 Says, Matt, leaving aside specific situations, I think you're making a strategic error in repeatedly urging people to unilaterally speak out.

00:40:15.000 In the present environment, each person who unilaterally speaks out ends up being destroyed, losing their job, etc.

00:40:21.000 Each such daily cancellation just serves as a powerful reminder to everybody else to shut up or face dire consequences.

00:40:27.560 Shades of Gulag Archipelago.

00:40:29.000 Your faulty advice is akin to having an army of millions of soldiers and then ordering them to line up and march out single file one by one, minute after minute into Gatling gun fire.

00:40:39.400 Attacking in this way, the outcome is clear.

00:40:42.240 We see it daily.

00:40:43.480 Each of your soldiers gets killed one by one.

00:40:45.420 And moreover, the residual soldiers still waiting in line wait in silent fear.

00:40:50.100 What is necessary ultimately is coordinated protests slash responses such as boycotts and the imposition of large scale negative consequences on the other side when they cancel without valid reason.

00:40:59.580 Until they face coordinated negative consequences, they have nothing to fear in firing away.

00:41:04.860 Well, you raise plenty of good points, and I don't I don't think this has to be an either or proposition.

00:41:10.100 I think coordinated campaigns are good.

00:41:12.500 Boycotts have a place. 0.87

00:41:13.640 I don't know how effective they ultimately are, but I'm not against them in principle.

00:41:16.500 So there's a place for that.

00:41:18.340 I think we have to do that.

00:41:19.640 But but but also there's nothing that can replace just ordinary people living their everyday lives according to their principles and not being afraid to speak them and live according to them.

00:41:36.560 Because if we're not going to do that.

00:41:38.480 Then all the boycotts in the world won't mean a damn thing.

00:41:44.100 And the other thing to remember here is you're saying, well, we don't want one one one one in a person.

00:41:49.060 We don't want to send them in front of the firing line.

00:41:50.600 Well, I get that, but I'm not talking about us all taking turns.

00:41:54.080 I'm not saying that we each take turns and I say, well, today is my day to live according to convictions and to live like I have common sense and I understand basic truths about science and morality and so on.

00:42:04.160 This is my turn tomorrow.

00:42:05.340 You'll do it tomorrow.

00:42:06.460 You know, we have like a seating chart or something.

00:42:09.260 I'm not saying that.

00:42:10.840 I'm saying all of us together should be doing that.

00:42:14.000 Don Sucher.

00:42:16.180 OK, yeah.

00:42:16.940 I mean, he put the sign out on his on his on his storefront.

00:42:21.460 So he put himself out there a little bit.

00:42:25.420 But other than that, you know, he's not he's as far as I know, he's not walking around in his daily life looking for confrontation, except for the little sign he put on his on his store, which is just a funny sign.

00:42:37.120 But when someone came up to him and expected him to cower and back down and abandon common sense and truth and reason, he just said, no, I'm not going to.

00:42:46.680 That's it.

00:42:47.240 I'm not going to.

00:42:47.840 My point is, we should all be living that way right now all together.

00:42:52.600 And if we all did that.

00:42:55.600 And responded to those kinds of situations the way that Don Sucher did, it would make an enormous difference.

00:43:02.800 And there's no replacing that.

00:43:06.220 There is no coordinated effort that will replace that.

00:43:10.820 Because, again, we can have all the boycotts in the world.

00:43:13.020 But if we're all living in such a way that someone can come up to us in our personal lives and hector us into abandoning truth and reason, if that's what we're all going to do in our personal lives, the boycotts don't mean a damn thing.

00:43:24.880 Because the enemy has still won.

00:43:28.600 Then the boycott or whatever you're talking about here becomes like a runner-up prize, just making ourselves feel a little bit better.

00:43:37.240 But we've still lost.

00:43:41.080 Because in the way that we live our lives, we have abandoned what we know to be true.

00:43:46.080 We cannot do that.

00:43:47.940 So we should all be doing it together.

00:43:51.020 And how do you encourage people to do it?

00:43:54.220 Well, you know, many times there have to be at least some people who are willing to charge out into the fire first.

00:44:04.120 To embolden everybody else.

00:44:06.360 I mean, someone has to go.

00:44:08.300 Otherwise, everyone's just going to be, you know, crouched down in the trenches, afraid to get up and make a charge.

00:44:15.100 So there have to be some of us who are willing to just go for it at the beginning.

00:44:20.300 And then hopefully everyone else joins in.

00:44:23.040 And if they don't, then shame on them.

00:44:25.020 Then they've given up and the war is lost and that's it.

00:44:28.740 Larry says, the Black Plague was hard to miss.

00:44:31.140 Without mass media where I live, COVID is hard to notice.

00:44:33.960 The sickness in blue cities is very apparent.

00:44:37.720 Yeah, I hear this a lot and it's sort of an interesting thing.

00:44:41.260 Of course, it's anecdotal.

00:44:42.580 I don't know how much you can really take from it.

00:44:44.100 But I hear a lot from people.

00:44:46.340 They say, hey, you know, I don't know anyone who has died from COVID or even been seriously ill from COVID.

00:44:51.940 That's the case for me.

00:44:52.900 I don't know a single person.

00:44:54.340 I certainly don't know anyone who's died of COVID.

00:44:56.540 I don't know anyone who was in the hospital with COVID.

00:44:59.400 I know some people have had it, but it was basically mild to moderate.

00:45:03.780 That's all I've seen.

00:45:06.340 And there are a lot of people in the same boat.

00:45:10.460 And that's one of the reasons why the media has to go overboard in convincing you to be afraid of it.

00:45:17.620 Because if you just went based on your own experience, you would say, yeah, this is a sickness.

00:45:22.720 It's not fun to deal with, but it's not anything for me to cower in my house over.

00:45:30.000 So, but again, I mean, that also is a reflection of just how comfortable we are in our lives.

00:45:39.940 Because I also don't know that many people who have died of anything at this point in my life.

00:45:44.820 I know some, but not many.

00:45:48.120 And that's very different.

00:45:49.180 You know, I'm 35 years old.

00:45:50.480 If I was 35 years old living at any other point in history prior to modern times, at this point in my life, I would probably have had at least one child who had died.

00:45:58.160 Both my parents would be dead for sure by now.

00:46:01.040 I would have seen plenty of death and destruction all around me.

00:46:06.140 So, and that goes back to the fact that we all live this way, insulated from death.

00:46:11.140 And then this thing intrudes into our lives and forces people to confront death.

00:46:15.080 And that's where they become so afraid.

00:46:16.260 They don't know how to deal with it.

00:46:17.220 They have no frame of reference.

00:46:21.060 Let's see.

00:46:21.680 Bobby says, hey, Matt, I was on a 15-hour road trip over the last few days.

00:46:24.980 And I listened to your show for at least 10 of those hours.

00:46:27.460 Thanks for keeping me sane and entertained.

00:46:30.660 So you spent five hours not listening to the show?

00:46:35.060 How dare you, sir?

00:46:36.420 You're banned.

00:46:37.620 Of course.

00:46:38.820 And Beth says, can the sweet babies get a sarcastic reading of Vax That Thing Up? 1.00

00:46:43.840 Well, I wouldn't dream of being sarcastic about something like this, okay?

00:46:46.540 Something that combines the two things that I care the most about, vaccines and juvenile.

00:46:50.720 I would never be sarcastic.

00:46:52.060 But if you want to hear the lyrics to that song, here they are.

00:46:57.460 You finna online date, yeah?

00:46:59.540 Find a mate, yeah?

00:47:01.340 Open up BLK, yeah? 0.98

00:47:02.820 Okay, yeah?

00:47:04.040 Profile pic lookin' tight, yeah?

00:47:05.980 Nice, yeah?

00:47:07.360 Got your boy readin' right, yeah?

00:47:09.520 Precise, yeah?

00:47:10.160 But before you find a date, yeah?

00:47:12.720 You gotta wait, yeah?

00:47:14.340 Gotta go vaccinate, yeah?

00:47:15.920 Get it straight, yeah?

00:47:17.800 Girl, you looks good.

00:47:19.020 Won't you Vax That Thing Up?

00:47:20.820 He's a handsome young brother.

00:47:22.780 Won't you Vax That Thing Up?

00:47:25.840 Date in real life.

00:47:26.960 You need to Vax That Thing Up.

00:47:28.500 Feeling freaky all night?

00:47:30.300 You need to Vax That Thing Up.

00:47:31.540 I know you can't stand it.

00:47:33.460 No holdin' hands, chick. 1.00

00:47:34.720 But when we get the shot, we're gonna be romancing.

00:47:38.140 Girl, you can be the queen after quarantine. 1.00

00:47:40.860 We can meet up at the spot and we can do the thing.

00:47:43.460 Internet date, yeah?

00:47:44.480 I'm the mate, yeah?

00:47:45.920 Download the app, shorty.

00:47:47.860 You ain't gotta wait, yeah?

00:47:49.420 I love it when you hold me.

00:47:51.500 Eggplant emoji.

00:47:53.480 You can be the young hot thing.

00:47:56.020 I'd be the OG.

00:47:56.900 It's just beautiful.

00:48:03.460 Beautiful.

00:48:04.520 Somehow, I thought the original

00:48:06.120 back that a** up 0.99

00:48:08.000 could not ever be topped.

00:48:10.300 And then I found out

00:48:11.100 that they were going for the remix

00:48:12.260 and I thought there's no way.

00:48:13.460 This is like trying to remake The Godfather.

00:48:15.400 It's to repaint the Mona Lisa.

00:48:18.160 It cannot possibly capture

00:48:20.020 that same beauty and majesty once again.

00:48:23.020 And I was wrong.

00:48:25.080 So that's the last time I will ever doubt

00:48:26.720 the artist known as Juvenile.

00:48:29.880 You know, America has reached a breaking point

00:48:32.140 where the onus is on the people

00:48:33.540 to stand up and say no

00:48:35.000 to the authoritarianism

00:48:36.100 creeping into our country

00:48:37.640 under the leadership

00:48:38.380 of our new administration.

00:48:40.080 I don't like where this is headed,

00:48:41.600 but thankfully, Ben Shapiro

00:48:42.660 wrote an excellent, intensely researched,

00:48:45.200 now best-selling book about it.

00:48:46.680 And it's best-selling for a reason.

00:48:48.420 You can find out that reason for yourself

00:48:49.700 by just picking up a copy

00:48:51.040 of The Authoritarian Moment.

00:48:53.180 And unfortunately for all of us,

00:48:54.740 this book could not be more timely,

00:48:56.860 but fortunately for us,

00:48:57.800 it gives you everything you need to know

00:48:59.280 about authoritarianism,

00:49:00.480 where it comes from,

00:49:01.680 what's happening right now,

00:49:02.640 and what we can do about it.

00:49:03.580 The Authoritarian Moment

00:49:04.240 is now available at Amazon,

00:49:05.540 Barnes & Noble,

00:49:53.740 Now let's get to

00:49:54.240 our daily cancellation.

00:49:58.660 Today we have the distinct honor

00:50:00.100 and pleasure

00:50:00.640 of canceling Nike.

00:50:01.920 Of course, Nike provides us

00:50:03.000 with many reasons to cancel it.

00:50:04.220 The sweatshops

00:50:04.820 and forced labor 0.69

00:50:05.540 would certainly make the list.

00:50:06.560 But today I'm charging them

00:50:08.120 with a crime

00:50:09.120 almost as serious as those.

00:50:10.920 That is the crime of cringe.

00:50:12.560 Nike has extensive experience

00:50:14.500 with producing cringe

00:50:15.480 of all types

00:50:16.020 especially in commercial form.

00:50:18.080 But none of their cringe offerings

00:50:19.520 have ever quite reached

00:50:20.720 the level of this commercial

00:50:22.340 which they just released

00:50:23.340 in honor of the

00:50:23.940 women's Olympic basketball team

00:50:25.240 winning another gold medal.

00:50:27.640 When you hear

00:50:28.420 that the women's

00:50:29.000 Olympic basketball team

00:50:29.940 won a gold medal

00:50:30.640 I'm sure your first thought is

00:50:31.900 wait, the women have 1.00

00:50:33.400 their own Olympic basketball team?

00:50:35.820 I was just as surprised as you.

00:50:37.880 Apparently this team

00:50:38.600 not only exists

00:50:39.580 but has had a lot of success

00:50:40.940 on the world stage

00:50:41.840 which brings back

00:50:42.560 the age-old riddle

00:50:44.040 you know

00:50:44.340 if women win a basketball game 0.64

00:50:46.240 in the forest

00:50:46.720 and nobody watches

00:50:47.540 did the game really happen?

00:50:50.060 Some philosophers say no

00:50:51.420 but the philosophers

00:50:52.660 at Nike say yes.

00:50:54.140 In fact, Nike goes

00:50:54.880 quite a bit beyond that.

00:50:56.240 Not willing to settle

00:50:57.100 with the typical

00:50:57.800 girl power virtue signaling 0.71

00:50:59.280 the company put out an ad

00:51:01.040 unironically claiming

00:51:02.160 that the women's

00:51:03.560 Olympic basketball squad

00:51:04.540 due to its prowess

00:51:05.620 in defeating teams

00:51:06.540 of five foot six inch females 1.00

00:51:07.940 is the greatest dynasty

00:51:09.840 of all time.

00:51:11.860 And by the way

00:51:12.220 I'm not kidding about the height.

00:51:13.660 They beat Japan 0.53

00:51:14.500 for the gold

00:51:15.280 and a quarter of Japan's roster

00:51:17.340 is five and a half feet

00:51:18.960 or shorter.

00:51:20.440 They actually had one lady 0.93

00:51:21.460 on the court

00:51:21.920 who was five foot four inches.

00:51:24.640 Their tallest player

00:51:25.900 was seven inches shorter

00:51:27.180 than our tallest player.

00:51:28.960 And that's not to take anything away

00:51:30.320 from the U.S. women's

00:51:32.760 Olympic basketball team.

00:51:33.780 Well, maybe it takes

00:51:34.320 a little bit away.

00:51:34.820 But mainly it's just to say to Nike

00:51:36.560 hey, slow your roll a little bit

00:51:38.940 because this might be overkill.

00:51:40.280 Let's watch.

00:51:42.340 Today I have a presentation

00:51:43.540 on dynasties.

00:51:45.720 But I refuse to talk about

00:51:47.520 the ancient history and drama.

00:51:49.080 That's just the patriarchy.

00:51:50.740 Instead, I'm going to talk

00:51:51.720 about a dynasty

00:51:52.360 that I actually look up to.

00:51:54.680 An all-women dynasty. 0.88

00:51:56.440 Women of color. 0.96

00:51:58.360 Gay women. 1.00

00:51:59.540 Women who fight 1.00

00:52:00.340 for social justice.

00:52:01.860 Women with a jump shot. 1.00

00:52:03.400 A dynasty that makes

00:52:04.240 your favorite men's basketball,

00:52:05.660 football, and baseball teams

00:52:06.900 look like amateurs.

00:52:08.420 A dynasty with fire braids.

00:52:10.000 A dynasty with sick style. 0.81

00:52:11.860 A dynasty with crazy dimes. 0.56

00:52:13.800 A dynasty that makes

00:52:14.600 Alexander the Great

00:52:15.600 look like Alexander the Great.

00:52:16.980 Okay.

00:52:18.360 The dynasty that's been reigning

00:52:19.460 for the past 25 years.

00:52:20.800 It's undefeated since 96.

00:52:22.980 The USA Basketball

00:52:24.280 Women's National Team.

00:52:25.620 Seven-time consecutive

00:52:26.820 gold medalist.

00:52:28.120 And most importantly,

00:52:29.800 women that make it possible 0.99

00:52:30.820 for girls like me

00:52:31.820 to feel like they can be a part

00:52:32.980 of whatever dynasty they want.

00:52:35.320 The greatest dynasty ever.

00:52:42.000 If I was a teacher

00:52:43.000 and a kid handed in

00:52:44.400 that assignment,

00:52:45.140 I would expel them from school

00:52:46.300 if I had that authority.

00:52:48.940 But who can argue with that?

00:52:50.000 I mean, 12 women playing

00:52:51.240 in a basketball tournament

00:52:52.260 where nobody knows how to dunk

00:52:53.360 are more impressive

00:52:54.560 than a man who conquered

00:52:55.680 most of the known world

00:52:56.620 and reshaped the globe

00:52:57.480 and became one of the most

00:52:58.200 consequential humans

00:52:59.000 to ever live on the planet

00:52:59.880 all before the age of 32.

00:53:01.100 I mean, who can argue?

00:53:02.200 And who can argue

00:53:02.680 that the women's basketball team

00:53:03.880 makes all men's teams

00:53:05.160 in all sports look like amateurs?

00:53:06.900 You know, better even

00:53:07.560 than the Dream Team

00:53:08.340 or the 07 Patriots

00:53:09.420 or the 96 Bulls

00:53:10.340 or the 98 Yankees

00:53:11.840 or the 85 Bears.

00:53:13.240 And this is the case

00:53:13.900 even though the women's

00:53:15.280 basketball team

00:53:15.820 would be thoroughly destroyed

00:53:16.940 by a team of actual

00:53:18.040 amateur men.

00:53:18.960 In fact,

00:53:19.720 an above-average

00:53:20.460 boys' high school team

00:53:21.600 would easily defeat

00:53:22.840 the women's Olympic team

00:53:23.740 and the score

00:53:24.180 would not be close.

00:53:25.480 But sure, yeah,

00:53:26.440 those women are 1.00

00:53:27.000 the most spectacular

00:53:28.120 and imposing collection

00:53:29.440 of human beings

00:53:30.060 ever assembled

00:53:30.760 on planet Earth.

00:53:31.780 Who could argue?

00:53:33.540 Well, I suppose anybody

00:53:34.220 with a rudimentary knowledge

00:53:35.760 of sports history

00:53:36.580 or world history

00:53:37.360 or simply current events

00:53:38.380 could argue.

00:53:39.640 Though perhaps they won't argue

00:53:40.880 for fear of being called sexist.

00:53:42.800 Now, you could say

00:53:43.540 that this is just

00:53:44.100 a bit of hyperbole

00:53:44.940 meant to motivate

00:53:45.720 and excite

00:53:46.380 the 30 or 40 girls

00:53:47.360 in the country

00:53:47.780 who are in the market

00:53:48.420 for basketball shoes.

00:53:50.040 More importantly,

00:53:50.860 you might speculate,

00:53:51.680 Nike is trying to signal

00:53:53.020 to our cultural overlords

00:53:54.300 that it's on their side.

00:53:55.700 Please forgive us

00:53:56.380 for the sweatshop

00:53:57.000 and slavery stuff.

00:53:58.020 Don't you see

00:53:58.520 we're saying nice things

00:53:59.420 about women?

00:54:00.460 Not just women,

00:54:01.300 but women of color 0.99

00:54:02.040 and gay women. 0.58

00:54:03.640 These women are really good 1.00

00:54:04.560 at basketball.

00:54:05.720 Really good.

00:54:07.160 Not impressed yet?

00:54:08.140 I mean, okay,

00:54:08.700 well, these women 1.00

00:54:09.620 are the best basketball players

00:54:10.760 of all time.

00:54:11.580 No, no, no.

00:54:12.260 They're the best athletes

00:54:13.180 of all time.

00:54:13.540 No, no, no.

00:54:13.960 Wait, we can do better.

00:54:15.580 They're the greatest humans

00:54:16.720 who have ever lived

00:54:17.520 anywhere on planet Earth.

00:54:18.540 Do you like us yet?

00:54:19.400 Are you satisfied?

00:54:20.360 Will you be our friend?

00:54:21.440 Are we woke enough?

00:54:22.920 All other humans 1.00

00:54:23.780 are scum 1.00

00:54:24.620 not worthy to kiss 1.00

00:54:25.600 the feet

00:54:25.980 of these WNBA players?

00:54:28.300 Too far?

00:54:28.820 Where's the line here?

00:54:29.600 Just tell us where the line is

00:54:30.560 and we'll tow it.

00:54:31.040 Just tell us.

00:54:32.980 No doubt that's the point.

00:54:34.660 Still, even so,

00:54:35.440 it's worth thinking about,

00:54:36.280 I think,

00:54:36.500 the larger societal trends

00:54:37.740 that this commercial

00:54:38.320 fits in with.

00:54:39.880 For one thing,

00:54:41.120 we see this now familiar

00:54:42.540 zero-sum game

00:54:43.640 between the sexes.

00:54:45.040 It's not enough

00:54:45.760 to simply say,

00:54:46.580 hey, nice job, ladies. 1.00

00:54:47.880 Congrats on the gold medal.

00:54:48.820 You did a wonderful job.

00:54:50.740 No, in order for women 1.00

00:54:51.540 to be appreciated,

00:54:52.780 men must be depreciated. 1.00

00:54:55.020 In the eyes of our culture, 0.68

00:54:56.160 women cannot be 1.00

00:54:56.820 appropriately recognized

00:54:57.940 if men are also recognized.

00:55:00.380 There's only room

00:55:01.280 for one on the stage.

00:55:03.220 Of course, as always,

00:55:04.140 the ironic effect

00:55:04.900 of all these

00:55:05.360 over-the-top attempts

00:55:06.220 to compliment women

00:55:07.020 is that it ends up

00:55:08.420 being quite insulting

00:55:09.380 to women.

00:55:10.180 It's sort of like

00:55:10.580 when my four-year-old son

00:55:11.480 this weekend

00:55:11.900 was very proud of himself

00:55:12.960 because he figured out

00:55:14.140 how to bounce a ball

00:55:15.320 off of the wall

00:55:16.140 and catch it again.

00:55:17.960 And he showed me

00:55:18.780 and I clapped

00:55:19.320 and I gave him a high five

00:55:20.380 and I said,

00:55:20.760 wow, buddy, that's great.

00:55:22.400 And he said,

00:55:22.820 isn't that amazing?

00:55:23.860 And I said,

00:55:24.320 yeah, it's so amazing.

00:55:26.480 In truth, of course,

00:55:27.360 there was nothing

00:55:27.760 especially amazing

00:55:28.440 about the achievement

00:55:29.080 and I would never

00:55:29.920 say this to him,

00:55:30.580 but his older brother

00:55:31.600 was doing that

00:55:32.200 at like two years old.

00:55:33.600 But this is the kind

00:55:34.960 of encouragement

00:55:35.420 we give to children

00:55:36.240 because they're just children.

00:55:37.920 And it's also funny

00:55:39.020 in a cute sort of way

00:55:39.920 to see them so proud

00:55:40.800 of doing something so simple.

00:55:42.360 It's one thing

00:55:42.960 to patronize young children

00:55:44.140 this way.

00:55:44.700 Even that could go too far

00:55:45.820 and often does.

00:55:47.160 But to go through

00:55:47.820 this routine

00:55:48.360 for grown women

00:55:49.320 is another thing entirely.

00:55:51.680 Most women 0.99

00:55:52.280 don't want to be

00:55:52.900 infantilized like that

00:55:54.220 and the ones

00:55:54.740 who do want

00:55:55.340 to be infantilized

00:55:56.140 actually need even more

00:55:57.440 to be treated like adults

00:55:58.960 for their own betterment.

00:56:00.900 The other trend

00:56:01.680 is the denigration,

00:56:02.580 of course,

00:56:02.860 of Western civilization's

00:56:04.240 historical heroes.

00:56:05.220 Again, you might say

00:56:05.860 that this is just a commercial,

00:56:06.980 it's not that serious

00:56:07.660 and you're right

00:56:08.740 in one respect,

00:56:09.360 but the fact

00:56:09.960 that a commercial

00:56:10.740 would so casually claim

00:56:13.260 that none of the great men

00:56:14.400 of history matter at all

00:56:15.700 and that all of them 0.95

00:56:16.460 are oppressive patriarchal fascists 0.99

00:56:18.220 just tells you 0.99

00:56:19.460 how ingrained

00:56:20.040 and mainstream

00:56:20.660 this stuff really is.

00:56:22.640 I mean,

00:56:22.980 it's a bad sign

00:56:23.740 when radical feminist

00:56:24.700 misandry is used 0.67

00:56:26.080 to brainwash students

00:56:27.160 in a gender studies class.

00:56:28.340 It's an even worse sign

00:56:29.640 when it's used

00:56:30.680 to sell sneakers.

00:56:32.220 The effect ultimately

00:56:33.380 is to create a society

00:56:34.480 where people are not only

00:56:36.060 terminally ungrateful

00:56:37.220 for the achievements

00:56:37.980 and sacrifices

00:56:38.700 that made it possible

00:56:39.540 for them to be so spoiled

00:56:40.740 in the first place,

00:56:41.880 but also it leads people

00:56:43.420 to being extremely dull

00:56:44.740 and boring.

00:56:46.460 Alexander the Great

00:56:47.520 is a fascinating

00:56:48.600 and immense figure.

00:56:50.380 You could spend

00:56:51.000 your whole life

00:56:51.580 studying him

00:56:52.080 and many people have.

00:56:54.580 That's how you know

00:56:55.340 you're an important person

00:56:56.560 is if you become

00:56:57.860 a subject

00:56:58.640 in and of yourself

00:57:00.160 for people thousands

00:57:02.180 of years in the future

00:57:03.060 to study.

00:57:05.220 And history gives us

00:57:06.120 a window

00:57:06.500 and through it

00:57:07.760 we can see

00:57:08.440 many extraordinary figures

00:57:09.680 and by learning

00:57:10.800 about them

00:57:11.540 and what they achieved

00:57:13.120 and the lessons

00:57:13.700 they taught,

00:57:14.320 we might inherit

00:57:15.120 just a little piece

00:57:16.440 of their complexity

00:57:17.380 and their greatness.

00:57:19.260 Now imagine rejecting

00:57:20.780 all of that

00:57:21.540 and deciding instead

00:57:23.140 that the pinnacle

00:57:23.820 of human achievement

00:57:24.640 was a women's basketball team 0.77

00:57:26.760 in the year 2021.

00:57:29.000 What a boring world

00:57:30.400 that would be

00:57:30.980 if that's the best

00:57:32.260 we ever did.

00:57:33.600 What a boring person 0.98

00:57:34.920 you must be 0.79

00:57:35.520 to see the world

00:57:36.360 that way

00:57:36.760 and that ultimately

00:57:38.120 is why I must say

00:57:40.120 to Nike

00:57:40.500 today

00:57:41.180 you are
