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, 1.00
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. 0.94
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.
00:02:00.300 You get an extra three months free on a one-year package. That's expressvpn.com slash walsh.

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, 0.97
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 0.87
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. 0.71
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

00:15:38.080 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 0.72
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 0.99
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 1.00
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 0.93
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 0.97
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 0.93
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 1.00
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. 0.84
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 1.00
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 0.87
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 0.97
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 0.79
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 0.99
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 1.00
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 0.62
00:29:50.340 he's born,
00:29:52.200 which almost
00:29:53.080 every pro-abortion 0.91
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 0.52
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 0.69
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 0.94
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 0.72
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 1.00
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 1.00
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 0.54
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 0.90
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 0.90
00:37:03.420 trans folks.
00:37:04.780 And it
00:37:05.040 polices their 0.98
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 1.00
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 0.57
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 0.97
00:38:54.300 couple with a child
00:38:55.220 deriding the mother's
00:38:56.320 effort to breastfeed 1.00
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 1.00
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. 0.98
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 1.00
00:39:33.500 going to kill it, the
00:39:34.100 child's going to 0.70
00:39:34.540 starve to death.
00:39:36.720 Because men can't 1.00
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 1.00
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, 0.62
00:40:47.520 then the child
00:40:48.620 will die a 0.73
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 0.93
00:41:02.580 down.
00:41:05.060 Kick them off of 0.98
00:41:05.880 the platform for
00:41:06.800 suggesting that males 0.72
00:41:07.720 can't breastfeed. 1.00
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 1.00
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 0.98
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 0.93
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 1.00
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 0.66
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 0.58
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 0.62
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

00:51:49.580 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 0.99
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 0.99
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 0.97
00:54:39.540 stupid and our culture is a 0.62
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. 0.86
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. 1.00
00:56:45.620 feminist and feminists hate 1.00
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 1.00
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 1.00
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 1.00
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, 1.00
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 1.00
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 1.00
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 0.99
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
00:58:06.040 environment that is, well, not
00:58:08.500 very nice to live in.
00:58:10.120 So maybe Jen Psaki gets her wish 1.00
00:58:11.460 in the end.
00:58:11.780 Even so, she is still today, we
00:58:13.660 must say, canceled.
00:58:15.960 And that'll do it for the day.
00:58:16.900 That'll do it for the week.
00:58:17.760 Have a great weekend,
00:58:18.320 everybody.
00:58:19.460 Godspeed.
