The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 775 - Dangerous, Radical, Far-Right Mob Promotes Science And Common Sense

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, the media is reporting that I was part of a radical, chaotic, extremist, dangerous mob at the school board meeting a few days ago.

00:00:08.440 That's not exactly how I remember it. This is just one of the lies they're telling as part of their latest push to convince you to panic over COVID all over again.

00:00:15.000 Also, a woman in California has been charged with murder after throwing her infant off of a roof.

00:00:19.720 She obviously deserves to rot in prison for what she did, and yet I can't help but notice that if she had killed her infant only a few months earlier,

00:00:25.380 and for the same reason, we would be told to celebrate her. And Media Matters publishes a report highlighting the supposed transphobia of the Daily Wire

00:00:33.240 in a transparent effort to get us booted from YouTube. And finally, in our daily cancellation, we'll try to figure out whether it is actually sexist to describe a woman as nice.

00:00:43.920 Jen Psaki says that it is. We'll talk about that and much more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:55.380 You know, there is nothing in this life more important than protecting your online data.

00:01:00.800 Well, maybe a few things. Food, shelter, whiskey, that kind of thing.

00:01:03.500 But still very important to protect your online data, and that's why you need ExpressVPN.

00:01:08.380 And it is the best VPN on the market for a number of very clear reasons.

00:01:12.240 ExpressVPN doesn't log your activity online. Lots of cheap or free VPNs make money by selling your data to advertisers,

00:01:18.460 but ExpressVPN doesn't do this. They even developed a technology-trusted server that makes their VPN servers incapable of storing any data at all.

00:01:27.200 Also, there's speed. ExpressVPN now uses Lightway, a new VPN protocol they engineered to make user speeds faster than ever.

00:01:35.300 I've tried many VPNs on the market, and I found that they always kind of slow the connection down.

00:01:40.240 And that's a big problem, big hurdle, but that's not the case with ExpressVPN.

00:01:44.180 It's also easy to use, which is another important thing for me anyway. No technical skills are needed.

00:01:49.460 You just fire up the app. You tap one button. Even I can't screw it up, and you connect, and it's as simple as that.

00:01:55.620 So protect yourself with the VPN that I use and trust. Use my link, expressvpn.com slash walsh today.

00:02:08.700 An article in the Texas Tribune yesterday garnered a lot of attention, and it's not hard to see why.

00:02:15.380 The paper reported the incredibly startling fact that 5,800 children in the state had been hospitalized with COVID in just the span of one week.

00:02:24.040 Now, that is, needless to say, shocking, horrifying, nearly 6,000 in a week.

00:02:29.880 And the story was shared far and wide, including by prominent people in the media who were amplifying this message,

00:02:36.560 and it helped to cement into people's mind that COVID is now suddenly a significant danger to kids.

00:02:42.600 The only problem is that the incredible fact was incredible, but not a fact.

00:02:48.600 The Tribune sometime later issued a correction, which is really more of a retraction, and here it is.

00:02:54.120 They said, an earlier version of this story overstated the number of children who have been hospitalized in Texas recently with COVID-19.

00:03:01.080 The story said over 5,800 children have been hospitalized during a seven-day period in August, according to the CDC.

00:03:06.840 That number correctly referred to children hospitalized with COVID-19 since the pandemic began.

00:03:12.020 In actuality, 783 children were admitted to Texas hospitals with COVID-19 between July 1st and August 9th of this year.

00:03:20.040 Ah, so the central detail, the point that precipitated the article in the first place, was wrong.

00:03:28.300 No, not just wrong, but wildly, fantastically wrong.

00:03:31.180 This, again, is not a correction. That's a retraction.

00:03:34.060 That's like publishing a whole article saying, Bigfoot was spotted. He's real. We know.

00:03:39.500 And then the correction comes, oh, never mind. Actually, this was just a bear walking in the woods.

00:03:45.220 That's not a correction. That is going back on the whole point of the story.

00:03:48.460 Rather than nearly 6,000 hospitalized in a week, it was fewer than 800.

00:03:55.260 And not in a week, but in 40 days in a state with seven and a half million children.

00:04:00.120 And that's assuming, of course, you can even trust the 800 figure.

00:04:04.540 And what I certainly don't trust is the excuse that this was all a mistake.

00:04:08.800 Far from a mistake, it would seem to be another intentional fear tactic,

00:04:14.300 a purposeful ploy to exploit every parent's deepest fear.

00:04:19.520 I mean, it cannot be a coincidence that suddenly, when most people are tired of mask mandates and have no patience for lockdowns,

00:04:26.760 now the media starts focusing on children, trying to convince us that children are dying left and right from the virus.

00:04:33.620 Why? Well, it's the one thing that can make even reasonable people panic.

00:04:39.760 If you're screaming, COVID is coming for you, and people are no longer reacting to that like you want them to,

00:04:45.620 try, COVID is coming for your kids, and then see what happens.

00:04:50.600 Yet still, if you dig into the numbers, the truth continues to reveal itself.

00:04:54.900 An article on the medical news site MedPage Today speculates that the dreaded Delta variant might be more severe in kids,

00:05:03.680 maybe, perhaps, but qualifies this speculation by admitting that there's no data to support it, only anecdotes.

00:05:11.000 As far as the data goes, it says, reading from the article,

00:05:14.080 As for hospitalizations, which the AAP tracks in 23 states and New York City,

00:05:20.180 kids accounted for 1.5% to 3.5% of total cumulative hospitalizations,

00:05:25.160 and 0.1% to 1.9% of all pediatric COVID cases resulted in hospitalization.

00:05:32.380 CDC's COVID data tracker shows a total of about 46,000 hospital admissions for kids under 18 since August 1, 2020,

00:05:39.560 with a current seven-day average of 203 pediatric hospitalizations daily,

00:05:44.340 close to the peak seven-day average of 217 during this past winter surge for the week ending in January 9, 2021.

00:05:51.440 This week's figure is up from a seven-day average of 168 the week prior.

00:05:55.320 AAP collects mortality data from 43 states, New York City, Puerto Rico, and Guam,

00:05:59.940 tallying 371 pediatric deaths since mid-May 2020.

00:06:03.640 In 2020, children accounted for 0% to 0.2% of all COVID deaths in those areas,

00:06:11.260 and seven states reported no child deaths at all.

00:06:14.460 Of all pediatric COVID cases in those areas, 0% to 0.03% resulted in death.

00:06:21.860 The AAP report stated, quote,

00:06:24.340 At this time, it appears that severe illness due to COVID-19 is uncommon among children,

00:06:30.280 which is everything we already knew.

00:06:31.620 And by the way, as you just saw in the report,

00:06:35.680 we haven't even yet reached, as far as child hospitalizations,

00:06:39.240 we haven't reached the peak, which is thankfully a very small peak,

00:06:44.060 compared to what it was even in the winter.

00:06:47.900 Yet in the winter, the media wasn't really talking about child hospitalizations.

00:06:53.040 That's what they're talking about now.

00:06:58.340 So to summarize, the data tells us what the data has always told us.

00:07:02.620 COVID is not a serious threat to kids.

00:07:05.360 Despite the fervent wishes of the lunatic hobgoblins in the media,

00:07:09.760 it's not.

00:07:11.160 Thank God it's not.

00:07:12.960 But no worries.

00:07:15.220 You know, if they can't win the debate with the facts,

00:07:16.840 they can always retreat to the tried and true method

00:07:19.040 of casting the other side of the debate as violent extremists.

00:07:22.740 If you listen to the reports about the school board meetings

00:07:24.840 and protests in Tennessee this week,

00:07:26.580 and were dumb enough to somehow believe them,

00:07:28.640 you'd come away with the impression that we so-called anti-maskers,

00:07:32.500 and some of us, by the way, might actually be anti-maskers,

00:07:35.620 as in we don't want to wear masks anywhere.

00:07:38.540 That's where I fall on this question.

00:07:41.440 But there are a lot of people who maybe don't mind the masks.

00:07:45.720 They just don't want their kids to be forced to wear them.

00:07:49.540 Those distinctions aren't made.

00:07:51.000 We're all just anti-maskers, whatever.

00:07:54.000 And they tell us that these school board meetings descended,

00:07:58.080 that we kind of descended onto the scene like Mongol hordes,

00:08:02.580 subjugating our enemies, leaving them trembling at our feet.

00:08:05.940 And frankly, that sounds kind of appealing, I must admit, to me,

00:08:09.580 but it's not what happened.

00:08:10.960 What happened is that concerned parents gathered, spoke their mind,

00:08:15.180 some of them had signs, and that was about it.

00:08:18.780 There were some raised voices,

00:08:20.580 perhaps a smattering of impolite words were shouted,

00:08:23.200 but that's as far as it went.

00:08:25.700 Which is not the impression you would get from, first, the local media reports.

00:08:29.840 For example, the local website Nashville Scene

00:08:31.920 reported on the meeting that I attended with this headline,

00:08:35.680 mask mandates lead to chaos at school board meetings.

00:08:39.760 On a national level, Salon reports anti-mask mob swarm school board meeting.

00:08:45.280 This latter headline is in reference to the meeting down in Williamson County,

00:08:48.360 which I have learned from Salon, I attended myself.

00:08:51.800 Now, that was news to me,

00:08:52.960 as I thought I attended the Nashville Metro meeting.

00:08:55.480 I didn't think I was at that other one.

00:08:58.520 Salon says that I was.

00:08:59.760 All right, I'll go with them.

00:09:01.100 What do I know?

00:09:02.460 In any case, the Williamson County meeting was, by all accounts,

00:09:05.120 you know, a larger and noisier crowd.

00:09:07.680 But there was no violence.

00:09:09.540 No crimes were committed.

00:09:11.420 Nothing that lives up to the image of chaos and a swarming mob.

00:09:16.380 Emotions were high, that's for sure, and for good reason.

00:09:19.300 And those emotions ran both ways.

00:09:21.280 As pro-mask parents melted down in tears,

00:09:25.400 trembling in terror at the thought of their child being murdered

00:09:28.020 by a maskless student breathing on them.

00:09:31.700 The Daily Beast, though, takes the propaganda prize, I think, with this headline.

00:09:35.660 They report,

00:09:36.460 Proud Boys are teaming up with anti-maskers to threaten school boards over COVID mandates.

00:09:42.540 Proud Boys?

00:09:44.580 All I've seen are middle-aged parents upset that their children

00:09:47.880 are being forced to wear masks all day

00:09:49.780 without anything approaching a proper justification for it.

00:09:52.920 Where are the Proud Boys?

00:09:55.260 Well, the writer explains about a dozen paragraphs into this article.

00:09:59.800 We're told that a few Proud Boys showed up

00:10:01.960 at a couple of school board meetings in Florida a month ago.

00:10:05.220 And they also tell us that some Proud Boys spoke out

00:10:07.620 about critical race theory in New Hampshire in July.

00:10:10.940 They put Proud Boys and anti-maskers in the headline.

00:10:14.240 And one of the examples they give us of two

00:10:16.920 doesn't even have anything to do with masks.

00:10:22.340 This part of the article confused me as well.

00:10:24.340 It says, quote,

00:10:25.120 Meanwhile, in Nashville on Tuesday night,

00:10:27.100 conservative commentator Matt Walsh

00:10:28.460 took the microphone at a school board meeting

00:10:30.340 despite being a vocal advocate for homeschooling.

00:10:33.360 Walsh, who did not return a request for comment,

00:10:35.240 because I never got a request as far as I know,

00:10:37.360 claimed that masking students was child abuse

00:10:39.840 pushed by adults experiencing Munchausen syndrome by proxy

00:10:43.120 and that there was no evidence that COVID-19 affects children,

00:10:46.420 the Tennessean reported.

00:10:48.400 COVID-19 can affect children

00:10:49.720 and the Delta variant has resulted in a spike

00:10:51.380 in child hospitalizations.

00:10:53.260 Yeah, one problem here.

00:10:56.020 I mean, I did say the stuff about child abuse

00:10:57.900 and Munchausen by proxy, all that is true.

00:11:00.340 But I never said that there was no evidence

00:11:02.240 that COVID affects children.

00:11:04.040 Never said that.

00:11:05.360 A reporter for the Tennessean who was at the meeting

00:11:07.620 and sitting three feet from me

00:11:08.740 did indeed report that I had said that,

00:11:10.940 but she was lying.

00:11:12.240 She was like a truly courageous warrior for the truth

00:11:15.120 sitting right next to me

00:11:16.880 and tweeting lies about what I said,

00:11:19.540 unbeknownst to me at the time.

00:11:21.660 Now, I corrected her publicly

00:11:22.840 and at any rate, the video is available to watch.

00:11:25.840 The Daily Beast is repeating a lie

00:11:27.380 from a local reporter

00:11:28.260 even though they could watch the video

00:11:30.080 and hear the truth for themselves.

00:11:31.780 And I know they did watch the video

00:11:33.180 because they accurately quote it elsewhere.

00:11:35.040 And it's a pretty big difference.

00:11:39.800 No one is claiming

00:11:40.660 that COVID-19 doesn't affect children.

00:11:43.260 Of course it does.

00:11:44.660 Even if they get a mild case of the sniffles,

00:11:46.740 which is what it is for most of them,

00:11:48.400 that's still an effect.

00:11:49.540 It has an effect,

00:11:51.500 just a very mild effect

00:11:53.360 most of the time.

00:11:57.060 This is what the panic pushers are reduced to.

00:11:59.720 Misinformation, mischaracterizations,

00:12:01.080 flat out lies,

00:12:01.700 all while painting the opposition

00:12:04.060 as dangerous extremists

00:12:05.660 and militant radicals.

00:12:07.620 And what is the position

00:12:09.200 that we radicals, so-called, are taking?

00:12:13.600 It's worth emphasizing this point.

00:12:16.040 Our radical position

00:12:17.220 is the position

00:12:18.900 that all people

00:12:20.440 everywhere in the country

00:12:21.820 held unquestionably

00:12:23.660 until last year.

00:12:25.780 Our radical plot

00:12:27.360 is to simply continue living

00:12:29.760 as we all had lived up to now.

00:12:32.780 Taking reasonable precautions,

00:12:35.000 practicing good hygiene,

00:12:36.160 all that's great.

00:12:37.640 I mean, I was doing that before.

00:12:38.720 I don't know about you guys.

00:12:39.260 I didn't start washing my hands with COVID.

00:12:41.540 The way some people talk,

00:12:42.500 it's like they just discovered it

00:12:44.160 during COVID,

00:12:44.640 which is a little gross.

00:12:45.520 But doing that,

00:12:47.760 but also willing to endure

00:12:49.160 the minor risks involved

00:12:50.960 in walking around

00:12:51.920 with our mouths and noses showing,

00:12:53.560 breathing fresh air,

00:12:54.760 interacting with people face-to-face.

00:12:56.120 Okay, that's all we're saying.

00:12:59.720 That's how everyone has lived.

00:13:02.040 Even during pandemics,

00:13:03.800 that's how almost everyone has lived.

00:13:06.980 And there have been

00:13:07.780 a lot of pandemics in the past.

00:13:10.540 They're the ones pushing

00:13:11.820 for a truly radical change to society.

00:13:14.780 They want us to wholly transform

00:13:16.820 the way we live our lives.

00:13:19.560 They want us to completely adjust

00:13:21.640 how we perform basic risk calculations.

00:13:24.500 They want us to agree

00:13:27.160 that a risk of death,

00:13:29.300 which doesn't even approach

00:13:30.980 anywhere close to 1%,

00:13:32.840 is intolerable.

00:13:35.120 All of this is new.

00:13:36.840 It's extremely new.

00:13:38.960 Radically new.

00:13:40.680 As always with the left,

00:13:42.480 they insist on the radical change

00:13:44.320 while casting us as the radicals

00:13:46.600 for wanting to keep things as they were.

00:13:48.260 That is,

00:13:48.980 we want to do

00:13:50.020 what they themselves were doing yesterday.

00:13:52.800 They were walking along a path

00:13:55.800 and verged off of it

00:13:56.840 and we didn't follow right away.

00:13:59.160 So then we're not only wrong,

00:14:00.740 but somehow we turn into

00:14:01.600 violent, dangerous revolutionaries.

00:14:04.700 That's the game.

00:14:06.140 It's worked for them many times.

00:14:08.680 And so I imagine

00:14:09.660 they'll keep on playing it.

00:14:11.840 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:14:13.160 Now a quick word from Legacy Box.

00:14:21.720 They say that you can't know who you are

00:14:23.580 unless you know where you've been.

00:14:25.020 I think they say that.

00:14:25.840 Or if they don't say it,

00:14:26.680 then I'm saying it.

00:14:27.540 And it is true.

00:14:29.160 It's an important truth

00:14:29.800 because so much of our identity

00:14:30.940 is tied up in our memories

00:14:32.340 of ourselves.

00:14:34.060 And the problem is

00:14:34.720 that a lot of those memories now

00:14:35.860 are stored in antiquated technology.

00:14:37.820 You got them on camcorder,

00:14:39.980 physical pictures

00:14:42.000 and that kind of thing.

00:14:43.060 Maybe you got them in a basement

00:14:44.220 or up in an attic in a box

00:14:45.460 and you don't have access to them.

00:14:47.540 You're not really using them.

00:14:48.720 And they can also be destroyed.

00:14:49.780 And that's why you need Legacy Box.

00:14:51.400 With Legacy Box,

00:14:52.060 you can reclaim

00:14:52.640 all the priceless footage

00:14:53.700 you haven't been able to see in years.

00:14:55.720 The service couldn't be simpler.

00:14:57.160 Use their kit to safely send

00:14:58.380 the moments that you want preserved

00:14:59.820 on whatever technology it's on.

00:15:01.760 Their team will create

00:15:02.700 a digital archive by hand

00:15:04.400 and then you'll receive

00:15:05.000 your new copy stored on the cloud

00:15:06.500 at a thumb drive or a DVD,

00:15:07.740 whatever you want,

00:15:08.520 along with all the original media

00:15:09.680 that you sent them.

00:15:10.780 Having done this myself,

00:15:11.840 I was impressed by how easy it was.

00:15:14.420 Throw it in the box,

00:15:15.060 send it, they send it back.

00:15:16.140 And also how quickly

00:15:16.800 they were able to do all of this.

00:15:18.200 Legacy Box has helped

00:15:18.840 over 1 million families

00:15:38.080 Okay, so staying on

00:15:40.700 sort of the same subject here,

00:15:43.140 Joe Biden yesterday

00:15:44.560 talking about

00:15:47.600 what happened in Tennessee,

00:15:50.180 the chaos,

00:15:51.680 the swarming mobs,

00:15:54.420 he stood up for

00:15:56.600 those who are

00:15:57.640 mandating masks

00:15:58.460 and in fact said

00:15:59.360 that they are

00:16:00.040 not only right,

00:16:00.920 but they're heroes.

00:16:01.900 Let's listen to that.

00:16:04.380 I know there are a lot

00:16:05.320 of people out there

00:16:05.980 trying to turn

00:16:08.160 a public safety measure,

00:16:09.680 that is,

00:16:10.440 children wearing masks

00:16:11.540 in school

00:16:12.060 so they can be safe

00:16:13.600 into a political dispute.

00:16:16.460 And that this

00:16:17.400 isn't about politics.

00:16:19.100 It's about keeping

00:16:20.000 our children safe.

00:16:22.240 I saw a video

00:16:23.280 and reports

00:16:24.140 from a Tennessee

00:16:25.000 of protesters

00:16:26.880 threatening doctors

00:16:27.900 and nurses

00:16:28.460 who were before

00:16:29.940 a school board

00:16:30.660 making the case

00:16:31.500 that to keep kids safe

00:16:32.800 there should be

00:16:34.020 mandatory masks.

00:16:36.740 And as they walked out,

00:16:38.280 these doctors

00:16:38.780 were threatened,

00:16:39.640 these nurses

00:16:40.260 were threatened.

00:16:42.180 You know,

00:16:42.660 our healthcare workers

00:16:43.500 are heroes.

00:16:45.180 They were the heroes

00:16:45.960 when there was

00:16:46.420 no vaccine.

00:16:48.240 Many of them

00:16:48.720 gave their lives

00:16:49.460 trying to save others.

00:16:51.260 And they're heroes

00:16:52.060 again

00:16:52.640 with a vaccine.

00:16:54.760 They're doing

00:16:55.520 their best

00:16:56.080 to care for the people

00:16:57.080 refusing to get

00:16:57.920 vaccinated.

00:16:59.520 And unvaccinated

00:17:00.280 folks are

00:17:01.100 being hospitalized

00:17:02.580 and dying

00:17:03.400 as a result

00:17:04.140 of not being

00:17:05.140 vaccinated.

00:17:06.800 Okay,

00:17:07.280 first of all,

00:17:07.760 every time

00:17:08.380 you hear these people

00:17:09.960 say,

00:17:10.320 it's not about politics,

00:17:11.320 why are you making

00:17:11.820 it political?

00:17:14.200 Always remember

00:17:15.200 that these are

00:17:15.900 the same people,

00:17:16.540 including Joe Biden

00:17:17.220 himself,

00:17:17.820 who said

00:17:19.140 during Trump's

00:17:20.860 presidency

00:17:21.240 that they probably

00:17:23.160 wouldn't trust

00:17:23.740 the vaccine

00:17:24.260 if Trump

00:17:25.660 is in charge.

00:17:26.180 that was the

00:17:28.480 position that

00:17:28.960 many of these

00:17:29.460 people took,

00:17:29.920 including Joe

00:17:30.340 Biden himself.

00:17:32.020 Oh,

00:17:32.480 but it's not

00:17:32.840 political.

00:17:35.220 No,

00:17:35.540 no,

00:17:35.580 no,

00:17:35.660 what he means

00:17:36.200 is don't

00:17:36.860 take politics

00:17:37.460 into account

00:17:38.040 now,

00:17:38.740 now that I

00:17:39.260 am in charge.

00:17:42.960 You're

00:17:43.400 supposed to

00:17:43.820 simply trust

00:17:44.600 me

00:17:45.060 without

00:17:46.400 hesitation.

00:17:48.420 Also,

00:17:49.100 as far as

00:17:49.860 heroes,

00:17:51.720 you know,

00:17:52.160 a few things

00:17:53.520 there.

00:17:53.680 even if

00:17:54.540 someone

00:17:54.840 is a

00:17:55.380 hero,

00:17:56.200 that doesn't

00:17:57.540 make them

00:17:57.920 above

00:17:58.220 criticism.

00:18:00.020 So,

00:18:00.740 that's not

00:18:01.160 a defense

00:18:01.780 of what

00:18:04.640 these people

00:18:05.100 are advocating.

00:18:07.260 The doctors

00:18:08.360 and supposed

00:18:09.460 medical

00:18:09.960 professionals

00:18:10.540 who are

00:18:10.920 advocating

00:18:11.360 for masking

00:18:11.820 kids,

00:18:13.240 even if

00:18:13.660 they're

00:18:13.840 heroes,

00:18:14.680 that doesn't

00:18:16.260 make them

00:18:16.600 right about

00:18:17.260 what they're

00:18:17.620 saying.

00:18:17.920 So,

00:18:18.060 the fact

00:18:18.320 that they're

00:18:18.580 heroes

00:18:19.100 is irrelevant.

00:18:19.740 if they

00:18:22.440 make a

00:18:22.780 claim and

00:18:23.960 then I

00:18:24.240 say,

00:18:24.660 I disagree

00:18:25.040 with that

00:18:25.320 claim and

00:18:25.600 here's

00:18:25.780 why,

00:18:27.960 it is a

00:18:28.380 non sequitur

00:18:29.200 for you to

00:18:29.620 respond to

00:18:30.040 me,

00:18:30.560 but they're

00:18:31.140 heroes.

00:18:33.020 So?

00:18:34.460 And also,

00:18:35.900 no,

00:18:36.400 they're not.

00:18:39.220 Some medical

00:18:40.240 professionals

00:18:40.660 might be

00:18:41.120 heroic.

00:18:42.820 I'm perfectly

00:18:43.700 willing to

00:18:44.080 believe that

00:18:44.500 there are

00:18:44.880 heroic

00:18:46.120 medical

00:18:46.500 professionals

00:18:46.920 out there

00:18:47.260 who have

00:18:47.540 done heroic

00:18:48.020 things,

00:18:48.640 both in the

00:18:49.280 field of

00:18:49.600 medicine and

00:18:50.400 outside of

00:18:50.980 it.

00:18:52.900 But,

00:18:53.940 simply,

00:18:54.940 doing your

00:18:58.980 job as a

00:18:59.760 medical

00:19:00.020 professional

00:19:00.860 does not

00:19:01.740 make you

00:19:02.020 heroic.

00:19:03.720 This is

00:19:04.260 your job,

00:19:04.840 you're paid

00:19:05.120 to do it,

00:19:05.500 you don't

00:19:05.680 have to

00:19:06.020 do it,

00:19:06.440 it's a

00:19:06.680 line of

00:19:07.000 work you

00:19:07.320 chose to

00:19:07.720 get into,

00:19:09.140 which is

00:19:10.580 great.

00:19:11.740 I'm glad

00:19:12.300 you found

00:19:12.740 a line of

00:19:13.440 work that

00:19:13.760 you are

00:19:14.820 passionate

00:19:15.220 about,

00:19:15.660 and we

00:19:16.020 need people

00:19:16.500 to do

00:19:16.820 these jobs.

00:19:19.280 nobody,

00:19:21.920 this is a

00:19:22.620 blanket

00:19:22.820 statement,

00:19:23.760 nobody is

00:19:24.500 a hero

00:19:25.040 simply for

00:19:26.180 doing a

00:19:26.760 job that

00:19:27.500 they're

00:19:27.700 paid to

00:19:28.120 do.

00:19:29.180 There are

00:19:29.920 jobs that

00:19:30.700 provide you

00:19:31.520 a greater

00:19:34.440 than average

00:19:36.040 number of

00:19:36.520 opportunities

00:19:37.080 to act

00:19:38.100 heroically.

00:19:39.420 Police officers

00:19:40.040 would be one

00:19:40.420 example.

00:19:40.840 I'm not

00:19:41.020 going to sit

00:19:41.240 here and

00:19:41.460 say that

00:19:41.700 every single

00:19:42.080 police officer

00:19:42.620 is a

00:19:42.860 hero.

00:19:43.660 It would

00:19:44.160 be absurd.

00:19:44.660 Of course

00:19:44.860 they're not.

00:19:46.240 There are

00:19:46.500 bad cops

00:19:46.980 out there.

00:19:48.540 There are

00:19:48.700 a lot of

00:19:48.900 cops who

00:19:49.180 are just

00:19:49.340 kind of

00:19:49.560 like average.

00:19:50.220 They react

00:19:52.180 like any

00:19:52.520 average person

00:19:53.100 would,

00:19:54.820 given the

00:19:55.660 dangers that

00:19:56.100 they face.

00:19:57.000 And then

00:19:57.300 there are

00:19:57.520 some cops

00:19:57.920 who actually

00:19:58.280 are heroes

00:19:58.720 and act

00:19:59.020 heroically.

00:20:02.580 Same goes

00:20:03.220 for medical

00:20:04.080 professionals.

00:20:06.340 But this is

00:20:06.940 a tactic we

00:20:07.520 always see

00:20:08.060 from those

00:20:08.460 in power.

00:20:10.400 And it

00:20:10.680 kind of

00:20:10.940 changes

00:20:11.340 depending on

00:20:12.260 what they

00:20:13.920 want us to

00:20:14.900 believe,

00:20:15.280 or they're

00:20:15.500 trying to

00:20:15.860 get us

00:20:16.140 to do.

00:20:17.520 They'll

00:20:17.920 take a

00:20:18.260 certain

00:20:18.480 profession

00:20:19.000 or a

00:20:19.440 certain

00:20:19.580 group of

00:20:19.880 people and

00:20:20.260 say,

00:20:20.420 these are

00:20:20.720 all heroes.

00:20:22.580 There was

00:20:23.100 a time

00:20:23.660 not all

00:20:25.400 that long

00:20:25.820 ago when

00:20:27.300 politicians

00:20:27.840 used to

00:20:28.340 say,

00:20:28.680 all cops

00:20:29.140 are heroes.

00:20:32.080 And now

00:20:32.620 they flip

00:20:32.900 that around

00:20:33.340 and now

00:20:33.680 basically all

00:20:34.400 cops are

00:20:34.720 villains.

00:20:37.000 And then

00:20:37.560 one other

00:20:37.980 point about

00:20:38.420 heroism.

00:20:41.020 You can't

00:20:42.060 be a

00:20:42.420 hero when

00:20:43.920 someone else

00:20:44.860 is making

00:20:45.440 the

00:20:46.000 sacrifice.

00:20:47.060 So when

00:20:47.300 it comes

00:20:47.600 to masking

00:20:48.120 children,

00:20:49.740 there is

00:20:50.060 nothing

00:20:50.340 heroic,

00:20:51.340 leaving aside

00:20:52.100 whether it's

00:20:52.560 right or

00:20:53.040 not,

00:20:53.340 which it

00:20:53.580 isn't,

00:20:54.760 there's

00:20:55.000 certainly

00:20:55.200 nothing

00:20:55.540 heroic

00:20:56.260 about

00:20:57.360 advocating

00:20:57.880 that all

00:20:58.420 children have

00:20:58.940 to wear

00:20:59.160 masks every

00:20:59.940 day for

00:21:00.380 eight hours

00:21:00.800 a day.

00:21:01.860 Because that's

00:21:02.580 not a

00:21:02.860 sacrifice you're

00:21:03.780 making.

00:21:04.440 You're forcing

00:21:05.200 your kids to

00:21:06.020 make it or

00:21:06.580 other people's

00:21:07.300 kids to

00:21:07.640 make it.

00:21:08.620 It's not

00:21:08.920 heroic on

00:21:09.480 your part.

00:21:11.000 Real

00:21:11.400 fundamental fact

00:21:12.120 about heroism

00:21:12.680 here.

00:21:13.140 Heroism is a

00:21:13.800 sacrifice that

00:21:14.380 you make.

00:21:17.060 You're asking

00:21:17.860 kids to do

00:21:18.460 that.

00:21:20.640 And by the

00:21:21.360 way, with

00:21:22.080 these mask

00:21:23.700 mandates for

00:21:24.260 kids, they're

00:21:27.220 the only ones

00:21:28.160 along with the

00:21:31.060 staff in the

00:21:31.560 school.

00:21:32.900 But our

00:21:34.460 kids are going

00:21:34.820 to be among

00:21:35.260 the only ones

00:21:35.900 that are

00:21:36.520 actually required

00:21:37.320 to wear

00:21:37.720 masks for

00:21:38.940 that amount

00:21:39.860 of time

00:21:40.480 every single

00:21:41.140 day for

00:21:41.420 seven or

00:21:41.880 eight hours

00:21:42.340 sustained

00:21:42.980 time.

00:21:43.500 They have

00:21:43.820 to wear

00:21:44.040 the mask

00:21:44.500 every single

00:21:45.400 second during

00:21:45.860 the school.

00:21:46.400 Presumably,

00:21:46.840 they can take

00:21:47.200 it off for

00:21:47.520 lunch, at

00:21:48.180 least, I

00:21:48.540 hope, and

00:21:49.760 put it right

00:21:50.100 back on.

00:21:52.480 But almost

00:21:53.200 seven, eight

00:21:54.080 straight hours

00:21:55.100 of wearing

00:21:55.500 masks.

00:21:57.520 I got news

00:21:58.180 for you.

00:21:58.800 The medical

00:21:59.420 professionals don't

00:22:00.320 do that.

00:22:01.340 They wear the

00:22:01.920 mask if they're

00:22:02.640 dealing with a

00:22:03.340 patient, which

00:22:07.000 is what a lot

00:22:07.460 of doctors and

00:22:08.180 people working

00:22:08.680 in hospitals had

00:22:09.360 always done.

00:22:10.880 But then they

00:22:11.460 leave the room

00:22:11.860 and they

00:22:12.020 take it

00:22:12.240 off.

00:22:14.640 They're not

00:22:15.220 just walking

00:22:15.840 around for

00:22:16.400 eight hours

00:22:16.920 straight wearing

00:22:17.660 a mask.

00:22:20.440 So that is

00:22:21.240 an enormous

00:22:21.740 sacrifice that

00:22:23.580 we are asking

00:22:24.300 kids to make

00:22:25.260 specifically and

00:22:26.280 almost nobody

00:22:27.400 else.

00:22:30.780 Now, you are

00:22:31.460 requiring kids to

00:22:32.640 make a heroic

00:22:33.120 sacrifice against

00:22:35.080 their will,

00:22:36.000 which makes you a

00:22:38.740 lot of things,

00:22:39.580 but one of the

00:22:40.440 things is not

00:22:41.100 going to be a

00:22:41.520 hero.

00:22:43.480 All right,

00:22:43.940 let's go here

00:22:44.660 from, this is

00:22:45.660 from the New

00:22:45.960 York Post.

00:22:46.480 It says, this is

00:22:47.320 a horrific

00:22:48.440 story, but

00:22:49.960 there's an

00:22:52.260 important point

00:22:52.740 to be made in

00:22:53.460 relation to it,

00:22:54.100 so I'm going to

00:22:54.400 read some of

00:22:54.800 this story to

00:22:55.320 you.

00:22:56.760 A California

00:22:57.480 mom has been

00:22:58.080 convicted of

00:22:58.620 pushing her

00:22:59.180 seven-month-old

00:22:59.800 son to his

00:23:00.440 death from the

00:23:01.360 fourth story of

00:23:02.920 a hospital parking

00:23:04.040 garage, according

00:23:05.120 to prosecutors.

00:23:05.800 Sonia Hermosillo

00:23:08.580 of 41 was

00:23:10.420 found guilty

00:23:10.980 Wednesday of

00:23:11.520 one felony

00:23:12.040 count of

00:23:12.380 first-degree

00:23:12.760 murder and

00:23:13.180 one felony

00:23:13.560 count of

00:23:14.340 assault on a

00:23:14.840 child causing

00:23:15.360 death.

00:23:15.980 The jury will

00:23:16.440 determine whether

00:23:16.940 the mom was

00:23:17.420 legally sane

00:23:18.240 when she sent

00:23:18.960 no Medina

00:23:20.360 Jr. plunging to

00:23:21.340 his death at

00:23:21.880 the Children's

00:23:22.300 Hospital of

00:23:22.760 Orange County.

00:23:24.660 Hermosillo

00:23:25.040 allegedly suffered

00:23:25.660 from mental

00:23:26.120 health issues

00:23:26.780 after the birth

00:23:27.360 of the boy who

00:23:27.900 has received

00:23:28.320 treatment for

00:23:28.820 medical issues

00:23:29.380 such as

00:23:29.700 congenital

00:23:30.140 muscular

00:23:30.660 torticolis.

00:23:31.860 It's a condition

00:23:32.620 in which an

00:23:33.040 infant holds

00:23:33.820 her head

00:23:35.260 tilted to

00:23:35.760 one side.

00:23:37.980 Prosecutor

00:23:38.420 of the case

00:23:39.900 said he was

00:23:40.300 sick and his

00:23:40.780 mother didn't

00:23:41.140 want him.

00:23:41.660 She made a

00:23:42.080 cold-hearted

00:23:42.580 decision to

00:23:43.280 kill her

00:23:43.760 child.

00:23:44.980 Prosecutors

00:23:45.300 allege that

00:23:45.760 Hermosillo

00:23:46.120 drove to the

00:23:46.780 hospital on a

00:23:47.320 day that the

00:23:47.680 boy didn't

00:23:48.140 have an

00:23:48.400 appointment,

00:23:49.360 then took

00:23:49.820 off the

00:23:50.160 helmet he

00:23:50.500 was wearing

00:23:50.900 and pushed

00:23:52.060 him off the

00:23:52.560 garage.

00:23:54.240 The DA

00:23:54.560 said Hermosillo

00:23:55.240 then walked

00:23:55.780 inside the

00:23:56.460 hospital,

00:23:57.120 validated her

00:23:57.800 parking,

00:23:59.260 and drove

00:23:59.780 away.

00:24:01.860 The boy

00:24:02.420 died two

00:24:03.800 days after

00:24:04.340 the fall,

00:24:04.720 so he

00:24:04.940 suffered

00:24:05.220 immensely for

00:24:06.940 two days and

00:24:07.400 then died.

00:24:08.620 In her police

00:24:09.400 interview, she

00:24:09.840 allegedly told the

00:24:10.580 police that she

00:24:11.280 had hate,

00:24:12.180 resentment, and

00:24:12.800 anger toward

00:24:13.520 the boy because

00:24:14.180 he's sick.

00:24:16.180 And that's why

00:24:17.000 she killed him.

00:24:18.900 If found legally

00:24:19.660 sane, she could

00:24:20.400 face 25 years

00:24:21.820 to life in

00:24:22.560 prison.

00:24:23.820 Well, 25 years

00:24:24.680 would be yet

00:24:25.260 another enormous

00:24:26.420 injustice.

00:24:27.400 I mean, let's

00:24:27.820 obviously, what

00:24:30.680 this woman did

00:24:31.420 is, the word

00:24:33.300 monstrous doesn't

00:24:34.220 come close to

00:24:34.860 capturing it.

00:24:36.380 This should be a

00:24:37.440 death penalty

00:24:38.400 situation, which

00:24:40.340 is not going to

00:24:40.960 be in California,

00:24:41.620 but it should

00:24:42.140 be.

00:24:44.500 I personally

00:24:45.280 would be in

00:24:45.760 favor of you

00:24:48.100 convict her in

00:24:49.300 a court of law

00:24:49.940 legally, pass

00:24:51.720 down the

00:24:52.100 sentence, and if

00:24:53.940 I was the judge

00:24:54.560 and it was a

00:24:54.940 legal option, the

00:24:55.640 sentence would

00:24:56.080 be, we're

00:24:57.160 going to take

00:24:57.540 you up to the

00:24:57.940 10th story or

00:24:59.120 the 20th story of

00:25:00.040 this building and

00:25:00.920 toss you out, and

00:25:02.020 that's going to be

00:25:02.440 your penalty.

00:25:03.320 That's your method

00:25:04.180 of execution.

00:25:05.760 That to me would

00:25:06.420 be justice.

00:25:08.920 And I got news

00:25:09.700 for you, I don't

00:25:10.380 care if you're

00:25:10.900 legally sane or

00:25:11.580 not.

00:25:13.440 That makes no

00:25:14.140 difference.

00:25:16.480 You may, you

00:25:17.320 did something

00:25:18.120 horrifically evil

00:25:18.840 and you will

00:25:19.180 suffer the

00:25:19.540 consequences for

00:25:20.240 it.

00:25:21.340 And we're not

00:25:21.980 going to keep

00:25:22.380 you around.

00:25:23.700 Why?

00:25:24.060 Why should

00:25:26.440 we?

00:25:29.880 I just, I

00:25:31.560 don't buy it

00:25:32.180 at all.

00:25:33.820 Most of these

00:25:34.700 insanity pleas, I

00:25:36.040 don't buy it.

00:25:37.920 You know, an

00:25:38.380 actual insane

00:25:39.640 person who

00:25:40.400 doesn't know what

00:25:41.260 they're doing,

00:25:42.840 that is, that's

00:25:44.120 like someone, those

00:25:45.220 people, you know

00:25:46.020 who those people

00:25:46.620 are because they

00:25:47.620 don't have homes

00:25:48.480 and they don't

00:25:49.260 drive cars and

00:25:51.220 they don't function

00:25:52.540 in society at

00:25:53.180 all, you find

00:25:54.200 them sitting on

00:25:55.300 the side of

00:25:55.760 the road, on

00:25:56.580 the sidewalk,

00:25:57.500 talking to

00:25:58.040 themselves, okay?

00:25:59.340 Those are the

00:26:00.000 insane people who

00:26:00.800 really don't know

00:26:01.560 what's happening,

00:26:02.140 they don't know

00:26:02.440 what they're

00:26:02.700 doing.

00:26:04.600 Those are the

00:26:05.240 people who, if

00:26:06.000 they commit a

00:26:06.440 horrific crime,

00:26:07.520 they should still

00:26:08.560 go to prison, but

00:26:10.160 maybe the insanity

00:26:11.560 aspect comes into

00:26:12.520 play because they

00:26:13.200 are, they

00:26:14.040 literally have no

00:26:14.880 grasp on reality

00:26:16.000 whatsoever.

00:26:17.620 But if you have

00:26:18.500 someone who's

00:26:19.220 basically functioning

00:26:20.280 in society,

00:26:21.080 and is

00:26:24.440 showing some

00:26:25.160 knowledge that

00:26:25.780 what they did

00:26:26.580 was wrong, then

00:26:27.340 that's, I don't

00:26:28.700 care about their

00:26:29.240 mental health

00:26:29.780 problems.

00:26:31.480 They knew

00:26:32.140 enough and

00:26:33.240 should suffer the

00:26:33.740 consequences.

00:26:34.760 All that being

00:26:35.640 said, let's

00:26:38.440 think about this

00:26:39.100 for a second.

00:26:40.880 Seven-month-old

00:26:41.720 son was

00:26:43.840 murdered.

00:26:45.000 Why was he

00:26:45.720 murdered?

00:26:45.940 Because he

00:26:47.160 had suffered

00:26:48.740 physical

00:26:49.540 disabilities, and

00:26:51.180 the mother was

00:26:51.700 a selfish,

00:26:53.380 monstrous

00:26:53.800 sociopath, and

00:26:55.100 didn't want to

00:26:55.520 take care of

00:26:55.940 him, and

00:26:57.640 hated him for

00:26:58.560 the way that

00:26:59.040 he was

00:26:59.320 infringing on

00:26:59.980 her lifestyle.

00:27:01.800 And so she

00:27:02.440 killed him.

00:27:04.080 Now let's

00:27:04.640 consider the

00:27:05.060 fact that, take

00:27:05.620 this exact

00:27:06.420 same boy,

00:27:09.140 turn the

00:27:10.020 clock back by

00:27:10.860 seven months,

00:27:11.580 and if

00:27:13.860 this mother

00:27:14.480 had killed

00:27:15.780 him for

00:27:16.740 the exact

00:27:17.280 same reason,

00:27:18.620 she would

00:27:20.140 not only be

00:27:20.760 going to

00:27:21.080 prison, not

00:27:21.720 only not be

00:27:22.320 going to

00:27:22.640 prison, but

00:27:23.480 we would be

00:27:24.240 told to

00:27:24.580 celebrate her.

00:27:25.220 It's not

00:27:25.500 just that we

00:27:25.940 would be

00:27:26.200 told to

00:27:26.620 sympathize with

00:27:27.300 the choice

00:27:27.640 in that case,

00:27:28.240 but rather

00:27:28.800 it's a

00:27:29.760 celebration.

00:27:30.640 We should

00:27:30.840 literally throw

00:27:32.000 a parade for

00:27:32.700 her.

00:27:34.380 She should

00:27:35.000 shout her

00:27:35.540 abortion from

00:27:36.120 the rooftops.

00:27:38.720 There would

00:27:38.980 be, you

00:27:41.220 know,

00:27:41.360 Democrats in

00:27:42.760 Congress, if

00:27:43.340 they heard

00:27:43.560 about the

00:27:43.880 case, defending

00:27:45.220 her.

00:27:49.000 I mean, that

00:27:49.820 would be

00:27:50.120 someone who

00:27:50.520 the President

00:27:51.100 of the United

00:27:51.760 States would

00:27:52.520 say is, maybe

00:27:54.020 she's a hero

00:27:54.600 too.

00:27:58.160 If she had

00:27:58.900 done almost

00:27:59.540 the exact

00:28:00.040 same thing,

00:28:01.860 granted, she

00:28:02.360 would be

00:28:02.580 killing the

00:28:02.920 child through

00:28:03.260 a different

00:28:03.580 method, not

00:28:04.060 throwing from

00:28:04.420 a roof, but

00:28:05.000 crushing his

00:28:06.200 skull.

00:28:07.340 So in the

00:28:08.100 end, it's

00:28:08.420 basically the

00:28:09.120 same method.

00:28:09.580 So doing

00:28:14.140 the same

00:28:14.520 thing to

00:28:16.280 the same

00:28:16.600 child for

00:28:18.240 the same

00:28:18.620 reason, but

00:28:20.420 only a few

00:28:20.940 months earlier

00:28:21.500 and magically

00:28:24.360 it goes from

00:28:25.300 a horrific

00:28:25.880 murder where

00:28:26.480 we all agree

00:28:27.100 that it's

00:28:27.400 murder and

00:28:27.920 this is a

00:28:28.300 monster and

00:28:28.800 she should

00:28:29.040 suffer the

00:28:29.380 consequences.

00:28:29.940 It goes

00:28:30.100 from that

00:28:30.560 to she

00:28:32.240 is a

00:28:32.580 woman

00:28:32.800 exercising

00:28:33.440 her

00:28:33.640 autonomy.

00:28:34.220 She is a

00:28:34.620 powerful and

00:28:35.240 beautiful

00:28:35.560 person.

00:28:35.960 This is a

00:28:36.360 wonderful

00:28:36.800 thing and

00:28:37.640 we should

00:28:37.860 celebrate it.

00:28:38.300 That is

00:28:38.600 incoherent.

00:28:39.120 That makes

00:28:39.380 no sense.

00:28:43.560 And sometimes

00:28:44.100 I hesitate to

00:28:45.140 make arguments

00:28:45.880 like this.

00:28:48.520 Ultimately, I

00:28:49.160 do make them

00:28:49.700 because I think

00:28:50.080 intellectual

00:28:50.520 consistency is

00:28:51.360 so important.

00:28:52.700 I'm a big

00:28:53.080 fan of

00:28:53.380 intellectual

00:28:53.780 consistency.

00:28:54.240 You figure

00:28:54.700 out what

00:28:54.960 your principles

00:28:55.420 are, what

00:28:56.260 your beliefs

00:28:56.700 are, and

00:28:57.120 you take

00:28:57.420 them to

00:28:57.660 their logical

00:28:58.140 extent.

00:28:58.900 And if

00:28:59.060 what you

00:28:59.300 discover is

00:29:01.600 that your

00:29:01.940 beliefs and

00:29:02.400 your principles,

00:29:03.260 when taken

00:29:04.100 to their

00:29:04.440 logical

00:29:04.800 extent,

00:29:05.240 lead to

00:29:07.360 horrific

00:29:08.000 things,

00:29:09.160 then that

00:29:10.900 should tell

00:29:11.160 you something

00:29:11.460 about your

00:29:11.860 beliefs and

00:29:12.220 principles.

00:29:12.580 Maybe they

00:29:12.820 need to be

00:29:13.120 changed.

00:29:15.100 So that's

00:29:15.600 why I

00:29:15.800 make the

00:29:16.060 argument,

00:29:16.320 but also

00:29:16.740 I do

00:29:18.240 sort of

00:29:18.520 worry that

00:29:19.040 we're going

00:29:19.240 to get to

00:29:19.500 the point,

00:29:19.960 and I

00:29:20.260 think we

00:29:20.460 probably

00:29:20.740 will get

00:29:21.080 to the

00:29:21.280 point,

00:29:21.720 where the

00:29:22.820 left will

00:29:23.180 hear an

00:29:23.620 argument like

00:29:24.000 this,

00:29:24.360 and they'll

00:29:24.680 say,

00:29:25.020 you're right,

00:29:25.860 actually.

00:29:28.040 Why can't a

00:29:29.100 mother kill

00:29:29.460 her infant?

00:29:29.760 we'll

00:29:32.740 probably get

00:29:33.060 to that

00:29:33.240 point.

00:29:33.840 And when

00:29:34.380 we get

00:29:34.720 there,

00:29:35.060 at least

00:29:35.560 you're

00:29:35.760 being

00:29:35.960 intellectually

00:29:36.400 honest.

00:29:39.440 The

00:29:39.880 results will

00:29:40.320 be terrible,

00:29:41.220 and there

00:29:41.640 will be

00:29:41.800 even more

00:29:42.140 bloodshed,

00:29:42.860 but you're

00:29:43.160 being

00:29:43.300 intellectually

00:29:43.680 honest.

00:29:45.620 Because if

00:29:46.220 you would

00:29:46.460 support

00:29:46.820 killing a

00:29:47.320 child a

00:29:49.620 second before

00:29:50.340 he's born,

00:29:52.200 which almost

00:29:53.080 every pro-abortion

00:29:53.880 person does,

00:29:54.640 by the way,

00:29:55.720 they support

00:29:57.440 abortion through

00:29:58.280 all of

00:29:58.720 pregnancy for

00:29:59.340 any reason.

00:30:00.040 That is the

00:30:00.460 mainstream pro-abortion

00:30:02.120 or quote-unquote

00:30:03.220 pro-choice

00:30:03.940 position right

00:30:04.580 now.

00:30:05.660 Long gone are

00:30:06.480 the days when

00:30:06.860 we talk about

00:30:07.440 abortion should

00:30:08.240 be safe,

00:30:09.220 legal,

00:30:09.560 and rare.

00:30:10.660 Well,

00:30:11.060 they want it

00:30:11.320 to be legal,

00:30:11.960 and they

00:30:12.660 pretend that

00:30:13.000 it can be

00:30:13.240 safe,

00:30:13.540 even though,

00:30:13.840 of course,

00:30:13.980 it can't be

00:30:14.320 safe,

00:30:14.520 because by

00:30:15.020 definition,

00:30:15.620 in an

00:30:15.780 abortion,

00:30:16.480 at least

00:30:16.780 one person

00:30:17.240 is dying.

00:30:19.020 But rare?

00:30:20.080 They don't

00:30:20.340 care about

00:30:20.660 that anymore.

00:30:24.180 But that's

00:30:25.860 the fact.

00:30:26.340 There is no

00:30:28.220 substantive

00:30:29.020 moral difference

00:30:30.520 between these

00:30:32.160 two things.

00:30:36.180 And you

00:30:36.820 can't say,

00:30:37.600 well,

00:30:37.840 it's different

00:30:38.200 because a

00:30:38.720 baby in the

00:30:39.320 womb is

00:30:39.840 dependent on

00:30:40.520 his mother.

00:30:42.140 Because first

00:30:42.920 of all,

00:30:43.200 how does

00:30:43.500 dependence on

00:30:44.280 a person

00:30:44.780 mean that

00:30:45.760 that person

00:30:46.180 can kill

00:30:46.740 you?

00:30:49.120 Let's take

00:30:49.860 that to its

00:30:50.420 logical conclusion.

00:30:51.280 what about

00:30:54.820 elderly people

00:30:55.500 in nursing

00:30:55.900 homes?

00:30:57.840 What about

00:30:58.060 people on

00:30:58.420 welfare who

00:31:00.920 can't take

00:31:01.280 care of

00:31:01.520 themselves and

00:31:02.460 need the

00:31:02.700 taxpayer?

00:31:03.300 I'm a

00:31:03.600 taxpayer,

00:31:03.920 can I just

00:31:04.180 go kill

00:31:04.500 them?

00:31:05.820 They need

00:31:06.500 me,

00:31:06.960 they're

00:31:07.280 dependent on

00:31:07.720 me,

00:31:08.360 without my

00:31:09.120 consent.

00:31:11.300 But even

00:31:11.860 more so,

00:31:13.360 this infant,

00:31:14.600 seven months

00:31:15.000 old,

00:31:15.520 physically

00:31:15.800 disabled,

00:31:16.660 was 100%

00:31:18.780 dependent on

00:31:19.460 his mother,

00:31:19.940 on her

00:31:20.280 body,

00:31:20.820 on her

00:31:21.140 time,

00:31:21.700 on her

00:31:22.020 very life.

00:31:24.400 In fact,

00:31:25.120 a baby

00:31:25.580 outside of

00:31:26.380 the womb,

00:31:27.480 and any

00:31:27.960 mother will

00:31:28.300 tell you

00:31:28.500 this,

00:31:28.880 a baby

00:31:29.220 outside of

00:31:29.720 the womb

00:31:30.000 requires much

00:31:32.960 more from

00:31:33.700 you than

00:31:34.560 a baby

00:31:34.880 inside the

00:31:35.420 womb.

00:31:37.940 Requires

00:31:38.420 more from

00:31:38.880 you in

00:31:39.140 every sense.

00:31:41.800 If not

00:31:45.400 more

00:31:45.800 dependent,

00:31:47.840 requires

00:31:48.220 greater

00:31:48.680 sacrifice

00:31:49.220 from

00:31:49.600 you.

00:31:52.480 So if

00:31:53.000 that's a

00:31:53.280 reason

00:31:53.460 justified

00:31:53.880 in

00:31:54.040 the

00:31:54.120 womb,

00:31:54.300 then why

00:31:54.500 not

00:31:54.620 outside

00:31:54.880 the

00:31:55.020 womb?

00:31:56.080 All right,

00:31:56.480 let's

00:31:56.820 go,

00:31:57.400 we'll check

00:31:57.840 out this

00:31:58.400 from the

00:31:58.780 Washington

00:31:59.060 Post.

00:31:59.460 They report

00:31:59.860 that the

00:32:00.300 number of

00:32:00.780 white people

00:32:01.440 fell in

00:32:02.020 this country

00:32:02.440 for the

00:32:02.740 first time

00:32:03.200 since 1790.

00:32:05.180 Quoting the

00:32:05.540 report,

00:32:05.780 it says,

00:32:06.100 the report

00:32:06.360 marks the

00:32:06.760 first time

00:32:07.200 the absolute

00:32:07.800 number of

00:32:08.240 people who

00:32:08.580 identify as

00:32:09.180 white alone

00:32:09.720 has shrunk

00:32:10.580 since a

00:32:11.000 census started

00:32:11.600 being taken

00:32:12.080 in 1790.

00:32:13.240 The number

00:32:13.500 of people

00:32:13.780 identifying as

00:32:14.480 non-Hispanic

00:32:15.420 whites and

00:32:16.280 no other race

00:32:17.100 dropped by

00:32:17.520 5.1 million

00:32:18.460 people to

00:32:19.580 191.7

00:32:21.380 million,

00:32:21.680 a decrease

00:32:22.080 of 2.6%.

00:32:23.100 The country

00:32:23.900 also passed

00:32:24.420 two major

00:32:24.980 milestones on

00:32:26.560 its way to

00:32:26.900 becoming a

00:32:27.340 majority-minority

00:32:28.240 society in

00:32:28.920 the coming

00:32:29.220 decades.

00:32:29.620 For the

00:32:29.780 first time,

00:32:30.440 the portion

00:32:30.800 of white

00:32:31.160 people dipped

00:32:31.720 below 60%,

00:32:32.880 slipping from

00:32:33.560 63.7% to

00:32:35.220 57.8% in

00:32:36.580 the span of

00:32:36.980 just 10

00:32:37.260 years, and

00:32:37.740 the under

00:32:38.360 18 population

00:32:39.200 is now

00:32:39.660 majority

00:32:40.160 people of

00:32:40.660 color at

00:32:41.060 52.7%.

00:32:42.480 That's the

00:32:43.340 report, and

00:32:45.260 there have

00:32:45.440 been a lot

00:32:45.720 of reactions

00:32:46.160 to this

00:32:46.560 report like

00:32:47.120 this from

00:32:47.480 Jennifer

00:32:47.840 Rubin, who

00:32:48.760 responds,

00:32:49.980 a more

00:32:50.360 diverse, more

00:32:51.280 inclusive

00:32:51.700 society.

00:32:52.340 This is

00:32:52.640 fabulous

00:32:53.100 news.

00:32:54.440 Now we

00:32:55.820 need to

00:32:56.140 prevent

00:32:56.420 minority

00:32:57.000 white

00:32:57.340 rule.

00:32:59.120 Okay.

00:33:00.520 Now, we

00:33:02.380 are told

00:33:02.860 that if

00:33:07.120 you speculate

00:33:07.860 that the

00:33:11.040 powers that

00:33:11.540 be in this

00:33:11.960 culture want

00:33:12.640 to replace

00:33:13.380 white people,

00:33:14.040 we're told

00:33:16.160 that this

00:33:16.500 is the

00:33:16.920 great

00:33:17.360 replacement

00:33:17.920 theory, and

00:33:19.360 it is a

00:33:19.860 white

00:33:20.060 supremacist

00:33:20.940 conspiracy

00:33:21.780 theory, and

00:33:22.580 it's pretty

00:33:23.020 much the

00:33:23.400 worst thing

00:33:24.080 you can

00:33:24.380 ever say.

00:33:26.220 If you

00:33:26.980 were to

00:33:27.220 say this,

00:33:29.300 speculate

00:33:29.780 about this,

00:33:30.400 then you

00:33:30.900 are a

00:33:31.160 white

00:33:31.260 supremacist.

00:33:31.700 That's

00:33:31.860 what we're

00:33:32.040 told.

00:33:33.220 You can't

00:33:33.840 talk about

00:33:34.320 replacement.

00:33:37.180 And yet,

00:33:38.180 huh, I'm

00:33:40.100 just trying to

00:33:40.520 work through

00:33:40.800 this in my

00:33:41.140 head here.

00:33:42.300 Help me

00:33:42.820 up.

00:33:43.560 So we're

00:33:43.880 bringing in

00:33:44.860 a flood of

00:33:45.520 immigrants over

00:33:46.100 the southern

00:33:46.420 border,

00:33:47.260 non-white.

00:33:49.520 We're putting

00:33:50.220 policies in

00:33:50.940 place with

00:33:51.400 the express

00:33:52.020 purpose of

00:33:52.900 having fewer

00:33:53.880 white people

00:33:54.500 in universities

00:33:55.240 and in

00:33:55.700 positions of

00:33:56.200 power.

00:33:58.680 And we're

00:33:59.420 celebrating the

00:34:00.380 reduction in

00:34:01.180 the white

00:34:01.480 population.

00:34:04.160 I mean,

00:34:04.860 it sounds

00:34:06.320 like you

00:34:07.260 want to

00:34:08.200 replace

00:34:10.100 white people.

00:34:12.820 So this is

00:34:13.340 replacement,

00:34:14.000 is it not?

00:34:15.440 And you're

00:34:15.960 happy about

00:34:16.500 it?

00:34:16.660 I mean,

00:34:16.800 Jennifer Rubin

00:34:17.280 is celebrating

00:34:18.100 that there's

00:34:18.980 fewer, you

00:34:19.880 could never do

00:34:20.360 this with any

00:34:20.760 other race of

00:34:21.300 people.

00:34:22.980 Can you

00:34:23.460 imagine if

00:34:23.940 there was a

00:34:24.420 report about

00:34:25.460 there are

00:34:26.140 fewer black

00:34:27.360 people in the

00:34:27.920 country today

00:34:28.420 than there

00:34:28.700 were 10

00:34:29.040 years ago?

00:34:30.560 Can you

00:34:31.060 imagine anyone

00:34:32.200 reacting to

00:34:32.800 that and

00:34:33.060 saying this

00:34:33.340 is fabulous

00:34:34.020 news?

00:34:36.680 Anyone who

00:34:37.260 did that would

00:34:37.600 be seen as a

00:34:38.240 genocidal

00:34:38.800 maniac.

00:34:39.280 And if

00:34:42.140 you were to

00:34:42.440 accuse that

00:34:42.960 person of

00:34:43.420 wanting to

00:34:43.920 replace black

00:34:44.740 people,

00:34:45.580 everyone would

00:34:46.120 say, well,

00:34:46.660 yeah, that's

00:34:47.000 exactly what he

00:34:47.440 wants to do,

00:34:47.940 clearly.

00:34:51.440 Yet with

00:34:52.080 white people,

00:34:52.860 you can

00:34:54.220 advocate for

00:34:54.820 replacing them

00:34:55.520 explicitly,

00:34:56.800 but if anyone

00:34:57.940 correctly identifies

00:34:59.820 what you're

00:35:00.960 doing, then

00:35:01.680 they're the

00:35:02.540 racist.

00:35:05.760 It's

00:35:06.300 completely

00:35:06.660 absurd.

00:35:06.980 Now, in

00:35:08.060 fact, I

00:35:09.560 would even

00:35:09.900 give people

00:35:10.340 on the left

00:35:10.660 because what

00:35:10.960 I'm saying

00:35:11.300 right now,

00:35:11.680 this is probably

00:35:12.220 going to get

00:35:12.500 clipped by

00:35:12.860 Media Matters,

00:35:13.400 that's my

00:35:13.640 prediction right

00:35:14.080 now.

00:35:16.280 And I hope

00:35:16.980 it is because

00:35:17.500 I want to get

00:35:18.040 this out in

00:35:18.420 front of people

00:35:19.140 on the left.

00:35:20.720 And you say

00:35:21.500 that the

00:35:21.780 replacement theory

00:35:22.420 is white's

00:35:23.280 premise of

00:35:23.660 white nationalists

00:35:24.420 is a horrible,

00:35:25.160 horrible thing.

00:35:25.580 Okay, so do

00:35:27.260 you not want to

00:35:27.860 replace white

00:35:28.300 people?

00:35:29.820 Are you saying

00:35:31.160 that you don't

00:35:31.840 want that?

00:35:34.400 You don't

00:35:35.120 want to replace

00:35:35.840 white people

00:35:37.220 in the

00:35:37.420 population

00:35:37.940 with a

00:35:39.020 greater portion

00:35:39.620 of non-white

00:35:40.100 people.

00:35:40.760 You don't

00:35:41.500 want to

00:35:41.760 replace white

00:35:42.340 people in

00:35:42.900 universities and

00:35:43.640 positions of

00:35:44.100 power.

00:35:45.420 You're saying

00:35:45.980 you don't

00:35:46.340 want that.

00:35:49.640 Because while

00:35:50.380 you condemn

00:35:53.100 replacement theory

00:35:54.320 as a white

00:35:54.800 supremacist

00:35:55.380 conspiracy theory,

00:35:58.700 I notice that

00:35:59.680 you don't deny

00:36:00.880 it.

00:36:01.120 I mean, you

00:36:01.360 don't come out

00:36:01.860 and say, oh,

00:36:02.420 no, we don't

00:36:02.720 want to do

00:36:03.000 that.

00:36:05.840 But if you

00:36:06.980 don't, then

00:36:07.360 just say so.

00:36:11.220 And then we're

00:36:11.780 going to have

00:36:12.000 some follow-up

00:36:12.500 questions about

00:36:13.140 what's going on

00:36:14.860 down here on

00:36:15.260 the border and

00:36:15.800 why do we

00:36:16.180 have these

00:36:16.400 affirmative action

00:36:16.980 policies in

00:36:17.480 place and

00:36:18.260 why are you

00:36:19.220 popping champagne

00:36:20.180 and throwing

00:36:20.920 confetti when

00:36:21.820 there are reports

00:36:22.380 saying that there

00:36:22.840 are fewer

00:36:23.040 white people?

00:36:26.200 All right, let's

00:36:27.000 see.

00:36:28.420 Speaking of

00:36:28.980 media matters, I

00:36:29.580 wanted to mention

00:36:29.940 this as well

00:36:30.560 before we get to

00:36:31.200 reading the

00:36:31.460 comments here.

00:36:31.900 this is

00:36:36.260 reading out from

00:36:36.960 a Yahoo News

00:36:37.900 article about

00:36:38.700 the media

00:36:39.060 matters report.

00:36:40.040 It says

00:36:40.860 YouTube offers

00:36:41.720 platform to

00:36:42.640 anti-trans hate

00:36:43.940 says new

00:36:44.800 report.

00:36:46.540 And the

00:36:47.260 article says

00:36:47.960 for transgender

00:36:48.620 people, YouTube

00:36:49.480 is sometimes

00:36:50.200 hate tube,

00:36:51.260 according to a

00:36:51.780 new research

00:36:52.300 report from

00:36:53.200 media matters

00:36:53.780 for America.

00:36:54.380 I bet they

00:36:54.580 were proud of

00:36:54.980 that.

00:36:55.420 Pretty clever.

00:36:57.000 While the

00:36:57.720 platform hosts

00:36:58.640 many trans

00:36:59.300 creators and

00:36:59.780 influencers, it

00:37:00.360 also hosts

00:37:00.820 far-right

00:37:01.260 figures who

00:37:01.840 deadname and

00:37:02.620 misgender

00:37:03.420 trans folks.

00:37:04.780 And it

00:37:05.040 polices their

00:37:05.940 hateful speech

00:37:06.720 inconsistently,

00:37:07.800 says the

00:37:08.080 report released

00:37:08.680 Thursday morning.

00:37:09.800 The offenders

00:37:10.220 include Ben

00:37:10.840 Shapiro, Joe

00:37:11.440 Rogan, Matt

00:37:12.000 Walsh, Michael

00:37:12.480 Knowles, and a

00:37:12.880 pair known as

00:37:13.340 the Hodge

00:37:13.680 Twins.

00:37:14.560 They've gone

00:37:15.060 after prominent

00:37:15.760 transgender people

00:37:16.720 such as

00:37:17.540 assistant U.S.

00:37:18.240 health secretary

00:37:18.760 Rachel Levine,

00:37:20.000 actress and

00:37:20.500 model Lena

00:37:21.120 Bloom, and

00:37:21.720 political

00:37:21.980 candidate

00:37:22.400 Caitlyn

00:37:23.060 Jenner, along

00:37:23.600 with everyday

00:37:24.280 trans Americans.

00:37:25.880 For instance,

00:37:26.400 in February,

00:37:27.200 Walsh, a

00:37:27.620 commentator with

00:37:28.180 The Daily

00:37:28.420 Wire, a

00:37:29.500 right-wing

00:37:29.800 site, derided

00:37:30.620 Levine's

00:37:31.260 support of

00:37:31.840 gender-affirming

00:37:32.540 health care

00:37:32.980 for trans

00:37:33.480 youth, that

00:37:34.800 quote, should

00:37:35.300 qualify you for

00:37:36.000 a mental

00:37:36.340 institution or

00:37:37.080 prison, not

00:37:37.640 for a position

00:37:38.140 in government,

00:37:38.640 he said.

00:37:40.140 I mean, I

00:37:40.860 did say that.

00:37:41.540 But we should

00:37:44.120 clarify that the

00:37:44.960 gender-affirming

00:37:45.780 health care for

00:37:46.380 trans youth, what

00:37:48.780 that means, the

00:37:49.520 euphemism there, what

00:37:50.900 we're talking about

00:37:51.620 is the chemical

00:37:53.240 castration and

00:37:54.880 sometimes genital

00:37:55.700 mutilation of

00:37:56.800 minors who, to

00:37:59.280 begin with, cannot

00:38:00.300 possibly offer their

00:38:01.500 consent for that.

00:38:03.520 Because according to

00:38:04.680 our laws and our

00:38:05.660 understanding of

00:38:06.400 childhood psychology,

00:38:07.580 policy, they can't

00:38:08.720 offer their consent

00:38:09.620 for anything, which

00:38:11.560 is why we don't let

00:38:12.220 them choose, we

00:38:13.540 don't let them make

00:38:14.220 any significant,

00:38:15.500 serious, life-altering

00:38:17.500 choices of any

00:38:18.400 kind.

00:38:20.740 And so it is hateful

00:38:22.380 speech to suggest

00:38:23.720 that maybe that

00:38:25.480 way of viewing

00:38:29.080 children should just

00:38:30.860 be extended to this

00:38:32.000 issue of trans

00:38:33.300 health care, quote-unquote,

00:38:34.260 as well.

00:38:36.300 Knowles, also

00:38:37.000 associated with the

00:38:37.980 Daily Wire, an

00:38:39.240 infamous bigot,

00:38:40.740 repeatedly dead

00:38:41.540 named a misgendered

00:38:42.440 Jenner in an April

00:38:43.260 episode.

00:38:44.120 He said, if you're a

00:38:44.600 man who thinks you're

00:38:45.220 a woman who presents

00:38:45.840 yourself as a woman,

00:38:46.520 you are a seriously

00:38:46.980 confused individual.

00:38:47.920 It might not be a good

00:38:48.500 idea to give you a ton

00:38:49.220 of political power.

00:38:52.160 Shapiro and the

00:38:52.740 Hodge twins aimed

00:38:53.460 hate at a trans

00:38:54.300 couple with a child

00:38:55.220 deriding the mother's

00:38:56.320 effort to breastfeed

00:38:57.160 the infant.

00:38:58.360 Shapiro, editor

00:38:59.060 emeritus of the Daily

00:39:00.480 Wire, called the

00:39:01.120 mother a pervert and

00:39:01.900 misgendered both

00:39:02.500 parents while right-wing

00:39:03.600 influencers, the

00:39:04.260 Hodge twins said, if

00:39:05.160 you guys was my

00:39:06.180 parents, man, I'd

00:39:07.460 probably be a serial

00:39:08.200 killer.

00:39:08.580 Now, you may

00:39:10.440 remember that video.

00:39:13.300 That was a

00:39:15.720 biological male

00:39:16.780 attempting to

00:39:18.420 breastfeed a child.

00:39:21.380 And there's a

00:39:22.400 reason to come out

00:39:23.160 pretty strong against

00:39:24.380 something like that.

00:39:26.880 Because if you do

00:39:27.780 that, and

00:39:29.520 that's, especially

00:39:30.660 if that's the only

00:39:31.300 source of nutrients

00:39:32.480 that you're trying to

00:39:33.060 give a child, you're

00:39:33.500 going to kill it, the

00:39:34.100 child's going to

00:39:34.540 starve to death.

00:39:36.720 Because men can't

00:39:37.540 breastfeed.

00:39:41.020 But, you know,

00:39:42.100 trying to protect

00:39:43.000 children from being

00:39:44.280 chemically castrated

00:39:45.120 and generally

00:39:45.920 mutilated at a point

00:39:47.160 when they cannot

00:39:47.900 consent to it, they

00:39:48.760 cannot possibly

00:39:49.400 psychologically consent

00:39:50.160 to it, or trying to

00:39:51.860 defend babies from

00:39:53.080 starving to death

00:39:54.300 because biological males

00:39:56.260 are trying to

00:39:57.360 breastfeed them,

00:39:58.220 this is anti-trans

00:40:00.900 hate.

00:40:01.100 But what you see

00:40:01.560 again, as always,

00:40:03.940 and I'm not going

00:40:04.580 to read the entire

00:40:05.100 report, you get the

00:40:05.700 idea, but I won't

00:40:08.040 read it on air

00:40:08.580 anyway, but I did

00:40:09.160 myself read it

00:40:10.740 personally.

00:40:12.180 There was never any

00:40:13.060 attempt to explain

00:40:15.300 how we're wrong

00:40:16.120 about any of this.

00:40:17.740 No attempt.

00:40:20.100 Because at some

00:40:21.240 level, they know

00:40:21.860 they can't.

00:40:22.460 At some level,

00:40:25.020 at some level,

00:40:26.000 they know.

00:40:26.900 They see a video

00:40:27.920 of a biological male

00:40:29.400 trying to breastfeed

00:40:30.520 a child, and they

00:40:32.360 know that this is

00:40:33.600 crazy.

00:40:36.960 And that if you

00:40:37.780 did that too much,

00:40:39.100 and if, like, if a

00:40:40.240 biological male was

00:40:41.860 to really believe

00:40:43.020 that he can

00:40:44.020 breastfeed his

00:40:44.660 child, just like

00:40:45.900 any woman can,

00:40:47.520 then the child

00:40:48.620 will die a

00:40:50.560 horrible death of

00:40:51.200 starving to death.

00:40:52.460 So, at some

00:40:54.400 level, even the

00:40:54.920 people at Media

00:40:55.400 Matters, they know

00:40:56.340 that.

00:40:58.840 Which is why they

00:40:59.440 don't make any

00:40:59.780 attempt to respond

00:41:00.600 to the arguments.

00:41:01.180 Instead, they say,

00:41:02.020 shut these people

00:41:02.580 down.

00:41:05.060 Kick them off of

00:41:05.880 the platform for

00:41:06.800 suggesting that males

00:41:07.720 can't breastfeed.

00:41:10.060 All right, let's go

00:41:10.820 now to reading the

00:41:11.600 YouTube comments.

00:41:12.900 This is from

00:41:13.320 Brandon says, you

00:41:14.600 would most definitely

00:41:15.380 still have your own

00:41:16.300 head.

00:41:16.820 Oh, we're talking

00:41:17.240 about, okay, we're

00:41:17.700 going, I was

00:41:18.780 talking yesterday

00:41:19.200 about this discussion

00:41:19.860 I had with my

00:41:20.820 four-year-old about

00:41:21.580 what would happen if

00:41:22.080 you switched

00:41:22.440 heads with his

00:41:23.540 brother.

00:41:25.060 Important

00:41:25.420 conversation.

00:41:26.600 Brandon says, you

00:41:27.120 would most definitely

00:41:27.600 still have your own

00:41:28.320 head and Luke's

00:41:28.960 body.

00:41:29.600 Everything that

00:41:30.060 makes you you

00:41:30.760 personality-wise is

00:41:31.640 in your head, so

00:41:32.500 you'll go wherever

00:41:33.080 your head goes.

00:41:34.120 I guess the real

00:41:34.560 question is, would

00:41:35.380 Luke's body still

00:41:36.220 be Luke's body?

00:41:36.940 After all, Luke's

00:41:37.500 body is now

00:41:37.900 occupied by your

00:41:38.680 head, and you

00:41:39.780 are your head, so

00:41:40.420 I suppose Luke's

00:41:41.000 body would now be

00:41:41.680 your body occupied

00:41:42.500 by your head, and

00:41:43.320 your body would now

00:41:43.960 be Luke's body

00:41:44.800 occupied by his

00:41:45.620 head.

00:41:46.460 Conclusion, nothing

00:41:47.400 would change except,

00:41:48.240 of course, for the

00:41:49.060 bloody and messy

00:41:49.580 death.

00:41:50.260 Yeah, you know, I

00:41:50.700 think that's the

00:41:51.180 obvious answer for

00:41:51.880 what would happen

00:41:52.300 if you switched

00:41:52.840 heads, but it's

00:41:54.600 more complicated

00:41:55.160 than it may seem.

00:41:56.400 I mean, aside from

00:41:56.860 the logistics of

00:41:57.580 it, because when I

00:41:58.900 talk about you, I'm

00:42:00.100 not just talking

00:42:01.820 about your head,

00:42:02.580 right?

00:42:03.140 I'm not sure it's

00:42:04.080 true to say that

00:42:05.380 you are located in

00:42:08.120 your head entirely.

00:42:09.140 After all, your

00:42:09.740 DNA, your nervous

00:42:11.920 system, your bone

00:42:12.680 structure, etc., all

00:42:13.580 of this is also

00:42:15.580 you.

00:42:17.140 And then you add

00:42:17.780 the concept of a

00:42:18.460 soul into it, and

00:42:19.200 then that complicates

00:42:20.080 things even more.

00:42:21.240 Does your soul

00:42:21.820 travel with your

00:42:23.900 head to your other

00:42:24.560 body?

00:42:24.820 How does that

00:42:25.100 work?

00:42:25.940 Is the soul

00:42:26.540 located in the

00:42:28.660 body or in the

00:42:29.420 head?

00:42:30.940 Well, no.

00:42:31.920 Not in a literal

00:42:32.480 sense.

00:42:33.840 And given that so

00:42:34.720 much of what happens

00:42:36.640 in your brain is

00:42:38.000 determined by what

00:42:39.040 happens elsewhere in

00:42:40.020 your body, like in

00:42:40.800 your nervous system,

00:42:42.500 wouldn't putting your

00:42:43.780 head and your brain on

00:42:44.700 someone else's body

00:42:45.380 change your brain

00:42:46.700 enough that you

00:42:48.180 would no longer even

00:42:49.060 exist?

00:42:51.400 So maybe this would

00:42:52.240 really be the

00:42:52.800 obliteration of both

00:42:54.540 people and the

00:42:56.420 creation of new

00:42:57.160 people.

00:42:57.480 I don't know.

00:42:58.660 A more interesting

00:42:59.400 form of this question

00:43:00.220 is, and maybe I'll

00:43:01.320 ask my four-year-old

00:43:01.960 this tonight, right

00:43:02.960 before bed, because

00:43:03.560 it's the best time for

00:43:04.160 these questions, is

00:43:05.480 what happens if you

00:43:06.600 split your brain in

00:43:07.500 two, pretending this

00:43:08.320 was medically

00:43:08.680 possible, if you

00:43:10.140 split your brain in

00:43:10.820 two and gave half of

00:43:12.480 your brain to

00:43:12.820 someone else?

00:43:13.960 What happens then?

00:43:14.880 Where do you go?

00:43:15.760 Are you in both

00:43:17.360 places?

00:43:18.840 Nowhere?

00:43:20.400 These are the

00:43:20.880 important questions.

00:43:22.080 Sean says, at the

00:43:22.800 restaurant I manage,

00:43:23.620 we've gone through

00:43:24.140 14 people in the

00:43:25.040 past three weeks.

00:43:25.960 Either they quit

00:43:27.200 us showing up, they

00:43:28.140 can't flip a burger,

00:43:29.220 or they have terrible

00:43:30.180 attitudes when their

00:43:31.020 only job is taking

00:43:31.860 people's money.

00:43:33.660 We have four people

00:43:34.460 working 60-hour weeks

00:43:35.640 to keep this restaurant

00:43:37.740 afloat.

00:43:38.200 No millennial is worth

00:43:39.180 hiring.

00:43:39.680 They're incompetent,

00:43:40.480 lazy, and or

00:43:42.220 entitled.

00:43:44.800 Well, just by the

00:43:46.400 way, if you're

00:43:47.140 managing a restaurant

00:43:48.360 and you're hiring

00:43:49.020 like 19 and 20-year-olds

00:43:50.180 and having this

00:43:51.360 problem, those are

00:43:52.080 not millennials.

00:43:52.820 So, hey, you know,

00:43:54.960 back off a little

00:43:55.600 bit.

00:43:56.600 Don't blame us for

00:43:57.460 this.

00:43:58.100 That would be Gen

00:43:58.880 Z.

00:44:00.860 And, you know,

00:44:01.580 look, this is always

00:44:02.580 a complaint.

00:44:03.240 Like, every older

00:44:04.100 generation always says

00:44:05.080 this about the younger

00:44:05.660 generation.

00:44:06.080 A bunch of good for

00:44:06.780 nothings.

00:44:09.220 And it's never true

00:44:10.240 of everyone in a

00:44:11.300 generation.

00:44:12.880 And very often,

00:44:14.140 you know, the

00:44:15.020 generation making

00:44:15.980 that accusation,

00:44:16.940 they're overlooking

00:44:17.540 all of the great

00:44:18.180 significant flaws of

00:44:18.940 their own generation,

00:44:19.560 such as baby boomers

00:44:20.480 when they've complained

00:44:20.980 about millennials.

00:44:21.900 And the baby boomer

00:44:22.720 generation basically

00:44:23.920 destroyed American

00:44:24.840 society almost

00:44:25.540 single-handedly.

00:44:28.520 But it is true that

00:44:29.580 this is a growing

00:44:30.680 trend in the culture.

00:44:33.200 And it will be,

00:44:34.140 as each successive

00:44:35.560 generation is raised

00:44:37.880 in this environment,

00:44:39.720 it will become a

00:44:41.340 greater and greater

00:44:41.840 problem within that

00:44:42.760 generation.

00:44:44.520 J.R.

00:44:44.920 Crash says,

00:44:45.500 it's not hard to

00:44:46.240 imagine so many

00:44:47.160 young people choosing

00:44:47.900 to take an early

00:44:48.580 retirement on the

00:44:49.340 government dime.

00:44:50.620 The problem with

00:44:51.320 retirement in old age

00:44:52.600 is you're usually too

00:44:53.500 tired and broken to

00:44:54.460 really enjoy it,

00:44:55.240 plus a lot of your

00:44:55.900 friends have drifted

00:44:56.660 away or died.

00:44:57.780 It's a tough sell

00:44:58.420 convincing a young

00:44:59.080 person to go back to

00:44:59.900 work while their

00:45:00.480 friends make more

00:45:01.280 money hanging out at

00:45:02.460 the beach getting

00:45:03.040 drunk.

00:45:03.880 Yeah, it's a tough

00:45:04.480 sell to people without

00:45:05.440 ambition, right?

00:45:06.460 It's definitely a

00:45:08.200 tough sell to them.

00:45:10.480 But hard work is

00:45:12.100 always a tough sell

00:45:12.880 to people without

00:45:13.520 ambition.

00:45:14.760 But if you have

00:45:15.460 ambition, especially

00:45:17.220 as a young person,

00:45:18.980 then it's not

00:45:19.420 difficult at all.

00:45:20.520 It shouldn't be

00:45:21.280 difficult to sell

00:45:21.940 the money.

00:45:24.140 Like, anyone likes

00:45:24.940 the idea of

00:45:25.800 relaxing.

00:45:27.000 But if you're a

00:45:27.700 person with ambition

00:45:28.720 and you want to go

00:45:30.300 places in life and

00:45:31.260 you want to accomplish

00:45:32.140 things and you want

00:45:33.080 to have success,

00:45:33.960 then you actually

00:45:36.580 wouldn't want to

00:45:38.340 sit back on the

00:45:38.940 beach every single

00:45:39.540 day.

00:45:42.500 That would sound

00:45:43.420 like a horrible

00:45:44.700 fate if that's all

00:45:47.060 you could do.

00:45:48.560 Because you have

00:45:49.220 bigger dreams to go

00:45:50.160 chase.

00:45:52.820 And I think that's

00:45:53.760 the saddest thing to

00:45:54.620 see.

00:45:55.280 And again, we can't

00:45:56.440 cast a, this is a

00:45:58.240 broad brush that is

00:45:59.360 true only in a

00:46:00.520 general sense.

00:46:01.060 It's not true for

00:46:01.540 everyone.

00:46:02.020 But that's the

00:46:03.540 saddest thing to

00:46:04.200 see in younger

00:46:05.200 generations and

00:46:05.840 younger people,

00:46:07.120 kind of the death

00:46:07.800 of ambition.

00:46:09.820 Because you've got

00:46:10.320 to have the

00:46:10.600 ambition first and

00:46:11.860 then the hard

00:46:12.340 work follows.

00:46:14.560 Because no one's

00:46:15.220 going to go and

00:46:15.920 do any kind of

00:46:16.500 hard work if they

00:46:17.080 don't have some

00:46:17.600 concept of like

00:46:18.520 what their, what

00:46:19.460 the goal is, what

00:46:20.340 they're hoping to

00:46:21.060 accomplish.

00:46:24.540 And that's the

00:46:25.880 hardest thing.

00:46:27.680 Because when you're

00:46:28.420 young, I mean,

00:46:29.180 that's the time

00:46:31.900 especially when you

00:46:32.520 have, you talk

00:46:33.100 about the energy

00:46:33.680 that you have

00:46:34.140 and everything.

00:46:35.540 Yeah, you could

00:46:35.940 whittle that away

00:46:36.540 doing nothing.

00:46:38.580 But that's also

00:46:39.360 the time with all

00:46:40.160 of that energy.

00:46:40.760 We talked about a

00:46:41.740 few days ago also.

00:46:42.440 You don't have any,

00:46:43.080 in most cases, you

00:46:43.780 don't have any

00:46:44.200 kids.

00:46:44.480 You don't have any

00:46:44.820 dependents.

00:46:45.440 You're a free agent.

00:46:46.660 You can go anywhere.

00:46:47.400 You can do anything.

00:46:48.600 You can take big

00:46:49.480 risks.

00:46:49.920 You've got all that

00:46:50.840 energy as well.

00:46:53.200 That's the time to

00:46:53.800 really go chase your

00:46:54.460 dreams.

00:46:54.840 And you find with a

00:46:55.620 lot of young people

00:46:56.120 now, they don't have

00:46:57.380 that desire.

00:46:57.860 You see that

00:47:02.580 evidence also, even

00:47:03.660 in seemingly less

00:47:06.280 important things, like

00:47:07.460 you look at little

00:47:08.760 indicators, like the

00:47:10.240 average age to begin

00:47:12.120 driving has been

00:47:13.100 ticking up.

00:47:13.960 And not because of

00:47:14.640 the laws.

00:47:16.500 But these days, kids

00:47:17.780 start on average

00:47:18.840 driving later than

00:47:20.160 they did when I was a

00:47:21.340 kid or when my

00:47:21.780 parents were kids.

00:47:22.480 Because they don't

00:47:24.920 really have the

00:47:25.380 desire to get out

00:47:26.060 and drive.

00:47:26.740 They can, but, you

00:47:28.120 know, they figure I

00:47:28.660 got everything I want

00:47:29.220 right here in my

00:47:29.680 house.

00:47:30.220 I got my phone.

00:47:31.560 That's like my whole

00:47:32.340 life.

00:47:32.740 I don't need to drive

00:47:33.380 anywhere.

00:47:35.680 And I can remember

00:47:36.320 when I was a kid, I

00:47:37.140 wanted nothing more

00:47:38.300 than to get in the

00:47:39.960 car and have that

00:47:40.880 independence.

00:47:41.400 I didn't even care

00:47:41.800 where I was going,

00:47:42.520 but the idea of

00:47:43.120 having that

00:47:43.480 independence, being

00:47:44.140 able to go out and

00:47:44.820 do my own thing was

00:47:46.020 very appealing to me.

00:47:47.600 For a lot of kids

00:47:48.440 today, it's just not

00:47:49.360 appealing.

00:47:51.360 And Max,

00:47:52.480 says, okay, no,

00:47:55.940 actually Dustin, I'm

00:47:56.740 sorry, says, why

00:47:58.080 weren't we wearing

00:47:58.640 masks before?

00:47:59.620 Well, because we got

00:48:00.300 new information that

00:48:01.240 encourages us to act

00:48:02.300 and change the ways

00:48:03.660 we acted previously.

00:48:05.080 Why did doctors stop

00:48:06.160 recommending you smoke

00:48:07.220 cigarettes in the

00:48:07.820 mid-20th century?

00:48:08.900 You'll learn new

00:48:09.460 things.

00:48:09.880 It wasn't a custom

00:48:10.580 to wear masks in our

00:48:11.420 culture.

00:48:12.160 Washing hands isn't in

00:48:13.180 others.

00:48:13.780 Perhaps no one

00:48:14.400 answered you in this

00:48:15.660 because it's obvious.

00:48:17.360 Okay, Dustin, well,

00:48:19.240 that's the answer to

00:48:19.860 the question that I've

00:48:20.960 been asking.

00:48:21.380 If you think that

00:48:23.060 it's self-evident to

00:48:24.540 wear a mask now and

00:48:26.200 it's a really basic

00:48:27.180 thing on the level of

00:48:28.140 washing your hands,

00:48:29.420 then why didn't you

00:48:30.240 wear a mask before?

00:48:31.260 Haven't really got an

00:48:31.920 answer.

00:48:32.560 You give an answer.

00:48:33.420 I give you credit for

00:48:34.040 that.

00:48:34.300 The problem is the

00:48:34.940 answer is very dumb

00:48:36.200 because you say that,

00:48:37.920 well, because we got

00:48:38.640 new information.

00:48:40.240 And then you also say

00:48:41.440 it wasn't a custom

00:48:42.600 before, but it's a

00:48:43.280 custom now.

00:48:43.720 First of all, which is

00:48:44.360 it?

00:48:44.520 Pick a lane.

00:48:45.400 Are we doing it

00:48:45.960 because it's a custom

00:48:46.920 now?

00:48:47.220 I think you're right

00:48:49.200 about that.

00:48:49.700 It has become a custom

00:48:51.020 forced on us.

00:48:54.080 But many customs are

00:48:56.560 not data-driven.

00:48:58.720 You also claim this is

00:49:00.060 data-driven.

00:49:00.940 We got new information.

00:49:02.080 What is the new

00:49:03.060 information?

00:49:05.220 Okay, smoking.

00:49:06.140 You give that example.

00:49:07.920 As science progressed

00:49:09.940 and our understanding of

00:49:11.340 physiology, human

00:49:12.060 biology, and how these

00:49:13.560 things affect our bodies

00:49:14.980 progressed, we learned

00:49:16.540 that smoking causes

00:49:17.760 cancer.

00:49:18.480 That wasn't known

00:49:19.320 before.

00:49:21.720 What did we learn about

00:49:23.040 masks in the last 18

00:49:24.660 months that we didn't

00:49:25.400 know before?

00:49:27.540 Tell me one thing.

00:49:29.880 That's all.

00:49:30.420 I'll give you one.

00:49:30.980 Just give me one.

00:49:31.780 One bullet point.

00:49:32.540 Give me one thing that

00:49:35.360 we learned about masks

00:49:36.600 since March of 2020 that

00:49:40.020 we didn't know before

00:49:40.960 March of 2020.

00:49:41.720 And I'll give you a

00:49:45.040 chance to answer it, but

00:49:45.680 I'll also answer it for

00:49:46.380 you.

00:49:46.780 Nothing.

00:49:47.460 We didn't learn anything

00:49:48.120 new.

00:49:48.760 There have been no great

00:49:49.900 advancements in our

00:49:50.820 understanding of masks

00:49:52.440 and how they work.

00:49:55.720 It's all.

00:49:56.120 It's we knew all of this

00:49:58.220 before.

00:49:59.860 I knew all of this before

00:50:01.260 and I'm not even a

00:50:01.900 medical professional.

00:50:04.820 And that's the whole

00:50:05.620 point.

00:50:05.920 There has been no new

00:50:06.640 information.

00:50:08.460 So you tried to answer

00:50:09.360 the question, but

00:50:10.180 unfortunately you failed.

00:50:11.100 Thanks for trying

00:50:11.960 though.

00:50:12.620 And now it's time for

00:50:13.840 everyone's favorite part

00:50:15.400 of the show, the Daily

00:50:16.600 Wire promos.

00:50:18.080 Buckle up because America

00:50:19.460 is at a turning point.

00:50:20.300 The media and the

00:50:20.900 government have used fear

00:50:21.820 to spread hate,

00:50:22.700 effectively dividing the

00:50:23.580 nation into warring

00:50:24.600 factions that are easier

00:50:25.620 to control.

00:50:26.520 With that comes a

00:50:27.100 government that's gone

00:50:28.100 mad with power, is

00:50:29.140 becoming more tyrannical

00:50:30.200 by the day.

00:50:31.560 The onus is now on

00:50:32.660 freedom-loving Americans

00:50:33.480 to stand up and say no.

00:50:34.880 And that's why Ben

00:50:35.480 Shapiro wrote a book,

00:50:36.660 which is called The

00:50:37.680 Authoritarian Moment.

00:50:39.020 And it does a deep

00:50:39.700 dive into the history of

00:50:40.780 authoritarianism, how

00:50:41.480 it's creeping into our

00:50:42.320 own government, and what

00:50:43.440 we can do to stop at the

00:50:44.800 authoritarian moment is

00:50:45.620 now available at Amazon,

00:50:47.080 Barnes & Noble, or any

00:50:47.860 other major bookseller.

00:50:49.700 Also, it's no secret that

00:50:51.480 Candace Owens knows how to

00:50:52.620 light up Twitter with her

00:50:53.420 conservative takes.

00:50:55.200 But if you haven't heard,

00:50:56.440 she's now opening her

00:51:49.580 Tell all your friends about

00:51:50.380 it.

00:51:51.040 And now let's get to our

00:51:52.420 daily cancellation.

00:51:56.480 Today for our daily

00:51:57.660 cancellation, we finally have a

00:51:58.780 chance to cancel Jen

00:52:00.200 Pisaki.

00:52:01.060 She has teetered close a few

00:52:02.400 times, swerving precariously

00:52:03.760 near the edge of being

00:52:04.800 canceled.

00:52:05.120 But now she's finally gone

00:52:06.760 over the cliff and she

00:52:08.000 needed some help from Vogue

00:52:09.080 magazine to get there.

00:52:10.700 In an especially glowing and

00:52:12.300 sycophantic profile of

00:52:13.560 Pisaki, one which would have

00:52:14.880 induced nausea in me if not

00:52:16.500 for my trusty relief band,

00:52:18.080 the writer Lizzie Wittecombe,

00:52:19.720 which is somehow the perfect

00:52:20.840 name for a Vogue writer,

00:52:22.080 Lizzie Wittecombe, tells us,

00:52:23.720 quote, Obama world was

00:52:25.220 famously harsh with the

00:52:27.060 press.

00:52:28.340 We'll take a side note right

00:52:29.480 after one sentence.

00:52:30.680 Yeah, we all remember the

00:52:31.640 famously contentious

00:52:32.600 relationship between Obama

00:52:33.820 and the press.

00:52:35.000 I mean, the same press that

00:52:35.800 spent two weeks talking about

00:52:36.920 Obama's tan suit while he

00:52:38.720 was sending drones out to

00:52:40.020 assassinate American

00:52:40.820 citizens.

00:52:41.880 Anyway, it says,

00:52:43.420 Pisaki recalls of the

00:52:44.740 Obama people,

00:52:45.960 they're my friends and

00:52:47.280 they're some of the

00:52:47.740 absolute, the most talented

00:52:49.060 and best people I worked

00:52:50.020 with in politics.

00:52:50.920 But the culture was to

00:52:51.720 yell at reporters, slam

00:52:53.100 the phone down.

00:52:54.080 After traveling with

00:52:55.060 journalists for weeks on

00:52:55.900 end and in many cases

00:52:57.780 bonding with them,

00:52:58.460 Pisaki realized that's

00:53:00.120 never going to be

00:53:00.720 comfortable to me.

00:53:01.400 Instead, she developed

00:53:02.820 a more personable

00:53:03.620 rapport, charming her

00:53:05.040 interlocutors with little

00:53:06.140 jokes, asking about their

00:53:07.380 hometowns and families.

00:53:08.900 She's not a pushover,

00:53:09.760 though.

00:53:10.380 At one point, she tells me

00:53:11.380 that she hates when people

00:53:12.340 describe her as nice.

00:53:14.120 She says, quote,

00:53:14.920 it's like nails on a

00:53:15.820 chalkboard and it still

00:53:17.160 happens.

00:53:17.640 I was introduced to a

00:53:18.380 foreign delegation in the

00:53:19.360 hallway the other day as

00:53:20.740 this is Jen.

00:53:21.600 You may have seen her do

00:53:22.340 the briefing.

00:53:22.860 She's a really nice

00:53:23.540 person.

00:53:24.320 I'm like, really?

00:53:25.100 You can't think of a

00:53:25.820 better description?

00:53:27.020 The word is sexist and a

00:53:28.380 little diminishing, but she

00:53:29.380 says it's also this desire

00:53:30.740 to put people in a box.

00:53:31.920 Yes, sometimes I'm

00:53:32.840 friendly and joyful and

00:53:33.900 sometimes I'm tough and

00:53:34.840 sometimes I'm straightforward.

00:53:37.240 Now, you have to

00:53:38.260 appreciate how there's no

00:53:40.060 attempt at an explanation

00:53:41.440 here.

00:53:41.840 It's simply asserted that

00:53:43.580 the word nice, which is

00:53:45.060 last I checked the

00:53:45.860 compliment, is not only

00:53:47.480 sexist but diminishing.

00:53:49.300 It's assumed that the

00:53:50.360 reader will understand how

00:53:51.460 and why this is the case

00:53:52.400 and no further details are

00:53:53.980 required.

00:53:54.360 Now, I admit that I may be

00:53:56.300 a little out of my depth

00:53:57.160 with this discussion because

00:53:58.200 I have so little experience

00:53:59.480 with being called nice.

00:54:01.100 If I was called nice, I may

00:54:02.580 actually take it as an

00:54:03.540 insult, but only because I'd

00:54:04.960 assume that the description

00:54:05.740 was sarcastic.

00:54:06.700 Like, oh, there's Matt.

00:54:07.980 He's a real nice guy.

00:54:09.780 Kind of like the one and only

00:54:10.880 time in my life when I

00:54:11.860 participated in singing the

00:54:13.300 happy birthday song to

00:54:14.200 someone.

00:54:15.020 And afterwards, a person

00:54:16.260 standing next to me turned

00:54:17.220 and said, wow, great singing

00:54:18.500 voice, Matt, and walked

00:54:20.700 away laughing while I ran and

00:54:22.940 locked myself in the bathroom

00:54:23.820 and wept for hours.

00:54:24.780 The whole scene really ruined

00:54:25.880 my son's birthday.

00:54:26.520 But this is all beside the

00:54:27.900 point.

00:54:28.520 How can a word like nice be

00:54:29.840 considered not only insulting

00:54:31.240 but sexist?

00:54:33.140 You know, I think there are

00:54:34.000 two potential answers.

00:54:35.100 Well, three.

00:54:36.300 Because the first answer is

00:54:37.580 just that everything is

00:54:38.500 stupid and everyone is

00:54:39.540 stupid and our culture is a

00:54:40.600 cyclone of stupid leveling

00:54:42.300 everything in its path.

00:54:43.500 But more specifically, here are

00:54:45.140 two other points worth

00:54:45.860 considering.

00:54:46.280 First, as we've covered

00:54:48.320 extensively on this show, in

00:54:50.280 the words of Philip Reeve, we

00:54:51.820 live in the age of

00:54:52.440 psychological man.

00:54:53.860 And all that matters in our

00:54:54.900 age, indeed, the only true

00:54:56.580 reality in our age is how a

00:54:58.320 person feels about

00:54:59.220 themselves.

00:55:00.420 From the perspective of the

00:55:01.560 individual self, fully

00:55:02.920 immersed in the spirit of the

00:55:04.140 age, the job of everyone

00:55:05.680 else is to affirm those

00:55:07.140 feelings.

00:55:08.220 And in fact, it goes one

00:55:09.140 level deeper than that, and

00:55:10.360 it's more schizophrenic than

00:55:11.480 that.

00:55:12.120 Because your job as an

00:55:13.280 outsider in relation to me,

00:55:15.280 it's not so much to affirm

00:55:16.920 how I feel about myself, but to

00:55:19.440 affirm how I want to feel

00:55:21.240 about myself.

00:55:21.900 After all, I might feel like

00:55:24.820 an ugly lump of moldy lard, but

00:55:27.200 I want to feel strong and

00:55:29.720 brave and stunning and

00:55:30.840 beautiful.

00:55:31.280 Those are the feelings I'm

00:55:32.140 trying to desperately to

00:55:34.080 engender within myself.

00:55:35.420 Your job is to somehow

00:55:36.540 identify how I want to feel,

00:55:38.900 which may or may not be how I

00:55:40.240 actually feel, and affirm it

00:55:41.840 as a reality.

00:55:43.360 My self-actualization, to use

00:55:45.280 the new age jargon, is your

00:55:47.180 project.

00:55:48.520 By simply coming in contact

00:55:50.040 with me, you have been thrust

00:55:51.280 into my own internal drama,

00:55:53.520 and you now play a central

00:55:54.540 role whether you want to or

00:55:55.720 not.

00:55:56.400 How does this relate to Jen

00:55:57.360 Pisaki?

00:55:57.760 Well, she wants to feel like

00:56:00.000 a tough person, at least

00:56:01.020 sometimes.

00:56:02.160 If you encounter her in one

00:56:03.320 of those moments where she

00:56:04.340 wants to be, as she says,

00:56:05.400 tough and straightforward, and

00:56:06.800 you make the mistake of

00:56:07.480 describing her in a way that

00:56:08.560 conflicts with that desire,

00:56:09.920 then you are attacking her.

00:56:11.120 You're diminishing her.

00:56:12.980 If it sounds like we're at a

00:56:14.060 point where you simply can't

00:56:15.360 describe another person or

00:56:16.560 even refer to them without

00:56:18.060 potentially causing

00:56:18.780 devastating psychological harm,

00:56:20.020 that's correct.

00:56:20.980 I mean, that's where we're

00:56:21.460 at.

00:56:22.460 To say anything about another

00:56:23.700 human being, even to refer to

00:56:25.140 them in a neutral but

00:56:26.120 grammatically correct way, is to

00:56:27.740 potentially undermine the

00:56:29.020 feelings they want to feel

00:56:30.520 about themselves.

00:56:32.180 And those feelings and

00:56:33.280 desires can change by the

00:56:34.380 minute, especially for women.

00:56:36.160 No offense.

00:56:37.080 Which makes the whole thing a

00:56:38.240 minefield.

00:56:39.680 The second point is the

00:56:42.040 familiar irony that Jen

00:56:44.740 Pisaki is a feminist.

00:56:45.620 feminist and feminists hate

00:56:47.660 men, but idolize them at the

00:56:49.780 same time.

00:56:51.280 I mean, what's wrong with

00:56:51.960 being nice?

00:56:52.500 Well, because Jen Pisaki

00:56:53.440 associates niceness with women

00:56:55.220 and toughness with men.

00:56:57.420 And she would rather be seen as

00:56:59.100 having manly qualities because

00:57:01.200 she has decided that manly

00:57:03.340 qualities are superior.

00:57:05.400 This is what makes female

00:57:06.800 bosses and managers sometimes so

00:57:08.540 miserable to work for.

00:57:09.860 I mean, men can be real jerks too,

00:57:11.360 of course, and bad bosses, but

00:57:12.900 females in positions of

00:57:14.420 authority are more likely to

00:57:15.580 want to be seen as jerks.

00:57:18.360 They're more likely to

00:57:19.320 overcompensate, rejecting

00:57:20.720 their nicer instincts in this

00:57:22.320 effort to approximate the

00:57:23.800 manliness that they idolize.

00:57:25.900 So it's a twisted picture,

00:57:27.440 really.

00:57:28.780 Feminists worship masculinity,

00:57:31.580 but rather than simply

00:57:33.200 appreciating men and being

00:57:34.860 grateful for them, these people

00:57:37.400 who harbor masculinity, they

00:57:39.980 would rather take the place of

00:57:41.160 men, becoming pale imitations of

00:57:43.380 the thing they admire.

00:57:44.420 I mean, ultimately destroying

00:57:47.380 the very thing that they

00:57:48.440 admire.

00:57:49.500 And you see it on the other

00:57:50.240 side too.

00:57:50.640 You see men who worship

00:57:52.700 femininity, but rather than

00:57:54.600 appreciating women and being

00:57:55.920 grateful for them, they try to

00:57:57.000 literally transform into women

00:57:58.680 and take their place.

00:58:00.240 Once again, destroying the

00:58:01.640 very thing that they idolize.

00:58:03.720 So it's quite a confused

00:58:04.840 picture, creates a cultural
