The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 830 - When A Country Gives Up On Work

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Wall Show, a new report shows how government handouts have enabled record numbers of able-bodied young men to opt out of the workforce entirely and indefinitely.

00:00:08.540 But why would young men want to opt out of work in the first place? Isn't that the real problem? We'll talk about that today. 0.52

00:00:13.380 Also, the Virginia's governor's race will be settled tonight. Terry McAuliffe made his closing case to voters last night, and I don't think it will prove effective.

00:00:22.900 Plus, the Supreme Court refused to step in and hear a case from a Catholic hospital that was sued after refusing to perform a sex change operation.

00:00:30.480 And Sleepy Joe falls asleep at the UN Climate Summit.

00:00:32.900 Finally, Atlanta Braves fans are still doing the tomahawk chop, even though the media has repeatedly informed them that it's racist and they need to stop.

00:00:41.440 But is it really racist? We'll talk about that today and much more on The Matt Wall Show.

00:00:52.540 Well, you know, the holidays are basically upon us, or approaching quickly anyway, and you've got to start thinking about it.

00:00:59.520 Don't wait until the last minute. Start thinking about what kind of gifts you can get this holiday season and this Christmas.

00:01:05.580 Here's one. Legacy Box. Legacy Box is simply the best way to preserve your past.

00:01:09.980 Send your Legacy Box filled with old home movies and pictures. They'll do the rest, digitizing your moments onto a thumb drive, the cloud, or DVD.

00:01:17.680 It's just like magic. If you're like most people, there's one box that you'd run back into your burning house to grab.

00:01:23.340 And it's that box filled with videotapes, film reels, photos. Those are sentimental, meaningful, irreplaceable moments.

00:01:29.880 You can save these for being destroyed by floods or fires.

00:01:32.340 As I've already revealed, I wouldn't run into the burning house to save a dog or a panda.

00:01:36.560 But I would run right past the dog and panda and grab my box of old home movies instead.

00:01:41.580 And then on the way out, I would apologize and say, sorry. Sorry, Rex. I had to get this instead.

00:01:46.320 But why leave it to be destroyed? You just got to use Digital. You got to use Legacy Box.

00:01:50.780 You send it all to them. They digitize everything. They send it right back to you.

00:01:53.800 They make it easy. They make it simple. So take advantage of this deal right now.

00:02:10.880 So I had what has become a familiar experience over the weekend.

00:02:14.040 I ordered a pizza from a pizza place that shall go unnamed.

00:02:16.840 I was given a delivery time of 40 to 45 minutes after an hour with no pizza in sight.

00:02:21.980 I called to check on its progress. No answer. Called again 15 minutes later.

00:02:26.800 No answer. Just not answering the phone at all.

00:02:29.000 After an hour and a half, a little bit more than that, actually, finally,

00:02:31.460 the order arrived with profuse apologies from the delivery guy who explained that

00:02:36.580 no delivery people showed up to work at the location where I ordered.

00:02:40.940 And he had to be called in from a different location to pick up the slack because there were none at that location.

00:02:45.920 This experience would be just a minor inconvenience and not worth discussing or telling you about.

00:02:52.480 Plus, I used to be a pizza delivery guy back in my younger days.

00:02:56.080 So I tend to give a lot of leeway.

00:02:58.100 I'm very, you know, I'm very generous in that way.

00:03:02.220 I'm not going to get mad about a pizza being late.

00:03:04.160 The problem is that this is symptomatic of a much larger problem, which can be seen and felt all across the country.

00:03:11.580 The worker shortage crisis is especially pronounced in the restaurant and hospitality industries,

00:03:16.420 which means that I've encountered it quite a bit with all the traveling we've done in recent months.

00:03:20.720 Almost no hotels anywhere have enough housekeepers on staff to keep the rooms clean. 0.89

00:03:24.680 And that's a fact that hotels will tell you now as part of the standard spiel upon check-in where they tell you,

00:03:30.660 well, we're not going to send in housekeepers. 1.00

00:03:31.920 If you really need something, you can call us and we'll try to send somebody up to you.

00:03:35.160 Room service is now almost entirely a thing of the past.

00:03:37.740 Not enough workers to keep it going.

00:03:39.620 This is not just anecdotal either.

00:03:41.320 Here's a report from Vox today.

00:03:43.280 It says employers in almost every industry say they're struggling to find workers,

00:03:47.100 but the situation is especially severe in the leisure and hospitality sector.

00:03:50.320 While workers in these industries are getting paid more than ever,

00:03:53.220 it still doesn't seem like enough.

00:03:55.500 Bars, restaurants, and hotels across the country are posting signs advertising open jobs

00:04:00.140 or asking customers to be patient since they don't have enough staff.

00:04:02.960 In August, the latest available month for openings and turnover data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics,

00:04:08.560 there were a near record 1.7 million open jobs in leisure and hospitality,

00:04:14.060 10% of all jobs in the sector, and a record of nearly a million people quitting.

00:04:18.060 And this is happening, again, as it said right there, while wages are higher than they've ever been.

00:04:25.580 Now, this may be an especially significant issue in the leisure and hospitality industries,

00:04:30.200 but the situation isn't much better in most other industries.

00:04:33.740 Big question is, why is this happening?

00:04:37.580 What do we do about it?

00:04:39.220 And as far as that goes, there are a number of important factors that can't be ignored.

00:04:42.600 One of them is vaccine mandates.

00:04:44.080 I mean, that's not helping.

00:04:45.480 That's driven some employees out of their positions or kept qualified applicants away to begin with.

00:04:51.660 But that's not the primary issue here, especially because this is a problem that predates most of these mandates.

00:04:59.420 The greater issue seems to be that a large and troubling amount of Americans 0.97

00:05:03.500 have decided that they don't want to work at all.

00:05:07.000 And government has made that lifestyle feasible for them.

00:05:11.280 It has made that an actual lifestyle choice, something that you can select from the menu of options.

00:05:16.700 One of them is, I'm not going to work.

00:05:19.820 So here's the Daily Wire.

00:05:21.200 It says, a new analysis argues that government welfare policies encourage able-bodied men to opt out of the labor force.

00:05:27.920 Many point to weak wage growth, technological change, or international trade as potential explanations for the low labor force participation rate

00:05:35.000 among young men, which has dropped from 97% in 1955 to 89% in 2020.

00:05:40.840 However, Republicans on the Joint Economic Committee argue in their Reconnecting Americans to Benefits of Work report

00:05:46.200 that a significant share of the young men who receive handouts from the government are voluntarily disconnected from work.

00:05:51.800 It says, only 12% of inactive, prime-age, able-bodied men said they wanted a job or were open to work.

00:05:59.580 Only 12% among men who are inactive for reasons other than disability, retirement, education, or homemaking.

00:06:06.020 41% personally receive government assistance.

00:06:08.760 One key piece of evidence that suggests labor force trends are driven largely by workers, not employers,

00:06:12.640 is that the decline in prime-age labor force participation has been mostly voluntary, as told by the men themselves.

00:06:18.940 Three out of four disconnected men say they do not want a job.

00:06:23.700 Three out of four.

00:06:25.220 And only 12% of inactive, prime-age, able-bodied men said they wanted a job or were open to it in 2014.

00:06:31.560 If more men are genuinely choosing to stay home with the kids, go to school, or retire early, 0.57

00:06:35.360 policymakers should not be concerned.

00:06:37.340 But that's not the full explanation here.

00:06:40.360 The report goes on to explain how welfare programs, especially those without work requirements,

00:06:44.420 or with work requirements that are easy to fulfill, even without actually trying to find work.

00:06:50.680 You know, you just got to put in the application, show up for the interview, not put in any effort,

00:06:55.340 and you can keep the benefits rolling.

00:06:57.780 The report says, well, that's largely at fault here.

00:07:00.780 Keep in mind that this only tells us about the trends leading up to our current state of affairs.

00:07:06.900 It doesn't factor in the COVID-related handouts, which enabled millions of additional people to stay home for months on end,

00:07:13.840 many of whom have shown no particular desire to return to the working world.

00:07:18.380 The end result leads to a lot more than pizzas being delivered cold and hotel towels not being changed.

00:07:24.940 What lies at the bottom of this flight from work, this rejection of work, I think, is despair and purposelessness.

00:07:33.920 This is both the cause and the effect.

00:07:37.800 So it's a self-perpetuating problem.

00:07:40.000 It's a cycle, vicious cycle.

00:07:42.580 People don't see any real purpose to their existence.

00:07:46.300 They don't see any reason to live.

00:07:48.300 And so they're happy to merely exist, floating by, desiring only to be made comfortable and kept entertained.

00:07:56.360 Now, it's not that getting a job delivering pizzas would itself give your life purpose.

00:08:04.120 That's not the point.

00:08:05.500 It's that working to provide for yourself and your family, if you have one, is what you do when you have intention and purpose in your life.

00:08:13.620 If you have goals, if you have ambition, you would rather get a job, even a menial job,

00:08:18.600 and then get at least one foot on at least the first rung of the ladder.

00:08:23.560 There's also value in work for its own sake.

00:08:25.960 Work is a necessary part of life.

00:08:27.700 As I've explained before, life is work.

00:08:30.240 Your existence requires work to maintain.

00:08:32.640 There's no getting around that.

00:08:35.360 And if you're not going to do it, then someone else will have to do it for you.

00:08:40.720 But there is dignity and honor in standing at the helm and steering your own ship,

00:08:45.980 rather than having the government do it, or more precisely, having the government enlist the taxpayers to do it,

00:08:51.440 against their will.

00:08:52.500 But the catch-22 here is that people in despair who could most benefit from the dignity of work

00:08:59.680 are also least likely to care about something like dignity or to pursue it for its own sake.

00:09:06.480 So that is the problem that lies at the bottom of this, and this is what we need to be talking about.

00:09:10.260 We can look at all the economic factors.

00:09:14.200 We can look at wages and wage growth.

00:09:16.800 All of these things.

00:09:20.600 That's really window dressing on the real problem, which lies at the foundation of all of this,

00:09:26.600 is that we have millions of people, not just young men, but lots of young men especially,

00:09:34.440 who are content, who are fine with staying at home, watching TV, on the internet, playing video games, whatever.

00:09:43.540 That's a life.

00:09:44.400 As far as they're concerned, that could be their entire life,

00:09:48.560 and they have no desire for anything beyond that, anything greater than that.

00:09:51.960 That's what we need to start speaking to, is that despair and hopelessness

00:09:58.840 that's in the hearts of so many Americans.

00:10:02.980 Until we address that problem and talk about that problem,

00:10:05.980 none of these things are going to get any better.

00:10:08.760 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:10:16.940 You know, I tell you about my pillow all the time.

00:11:29.100 All right, so as you can see, by the way,

00:11:30.800 we've got the Thanksgiving decorations here

00:11:34.100 because this is a thing now on the show.

00:11:37.240 Now we're going to have decorations for every holiday.

00:11:38.800 And I personally, I'm happy that I came in on Monday

00:11:42.960 and we had the Thanksgiving decorations

00:11:45.000 because there are lots of people these days that say,

00:11:48.240 well, as soon as Halloween is over

00:11:49.900 and we get into November,

00:11:51.520 that's when you put the Christmas decorations up.

00:11:53.860 And I got nothing against Christmas decorations.

00:11:55.580 I mean, when it's time for Christmas decorations,

00:11:57.860 I want, I just want it to look like Christmas exploded in here.

00:12:01.860 I want to have a giant mechanical Santa

00:12:05.400 right behind me waving on camera the entire time.

00:12:08.520 But it's not Christmas season yet.

00:12:10.800 It's not even Advent yet.

00:12:12.880 And what I don't like is how Thanksgiving

00:12:15.260 gets cannibalized by Christmas every year.

00:12:19.460 So we are actually doing Thanksgiving decorations on this show.

00:12:23.220 And I do appreciate that.

00:12:24.840 All right, so the Virginia's race comes to a head today

00:12:30.200 as voting is underway.

00:12:33.480 And I'm not an optimistic guy, you know, you know that.

00:12:38.620 And I've come this far without making any predictions.

00:12:42.620 So there's really no reason to make it now.

00:12:45.160 But I will anyway.

00:12:46.580 I like Glenn Youngkin's chances.

00:12:48.860 I think he wins tonight.

00:12:51.420 And I think all of the, all the trends are in his favor.

00:12:57.680 All of the, the momentum is in his favor.

00:13:01.240 He's got all of the excitement.

00:13:04.360 And going up all the way to the last moment

00:13:06.960 when they were making their, their final pitches,

00:13:09.760 their closing cases.

00:13:10.700 So Terry McAuliffe speaking to a smaller crowd

00:13:14.880 and a noticeably less excited crowd.

00:13:17.260 Let's hear what his closing case to the people of Virginia was.

00:13:21.960 As, as, as we know, cultural issues and education

00:13:25.420 became the central focus of the, um, of the race.

00:13:30.120 So Terry McAuliffe finally speaking to education,

00:13:34.460 closing argument.

00:13:35.640 Here's what he has to say.

00:13:36.900 We've got to diversify our teacher base here in Virginia.

00:13:40.700 50, 50% of the students at Virginia schools, K-12,

00:13:46.260 50% are students of color.

00:13:48.340 And yet 80% of the teachers are white.

00:13:50.660 We all know what we have to do in a school

00:13:52.920 to make everybody feel comfortable in school.

00:13:55.160 So let's diversify.

00:13:56.220 So here's what I'm going to do.

00:13:57.780 We'll be the first state in America.

00:13:59.220 If you'll teach for five years here in Virginia

00:14:01.460 in a high demand area,

00:14:02.660 let it be geographic or coursework,

00:14:05.240 we will pay room, board and tuition

00:14:08.340 at any college, any university,

00:14:10.980 any HBCU here in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

00:14:15.380 So that's, that's what Terry McAuliffe has for you.

00:14:19.060 There are too many white teachers. 0.81

00:14:21.660 So Terry McAuliffe is saying,

00:14:22.860 listen, Virginians, I've heard you.

00:14:24.720 I understand parents.

00:14:26.160 You're worried about education.

00:14:27.780 You're concerned about your kids.

00:14:29.240 You're concerned about what they're being exposed to at school.

00:14:31.580 You want to make sure they're getting a real education.

00:14:34.040 Okay.

00:14:35.020 And so I've heard that.

00:14:36.800 And so what I'm going to do is make sure

00:14:37.900 that there are fewer white teachers.

00:14:39.500 Because he believes, apparently,

00:14:43.460 or he is, he is duty bound to believe,

00:14:46.000 he is required to believe as a Democrat,

00:14:49.600 that this is the sort of thing

00:14:50.820 that parents wake up worrying about.

00:14:54.040 He thinks that parents in Virginia and across the country,

00:14:56.340 they wake up every day thinking about, man,

00:14:59.200 you know, sending their kids off to school,

00:15:00.640 putting them on the school bus,

00:15:02.500 waving goodbye.

00:15:03.200 The parents are sitting, sitting there thinking,

00:15:04.880 oh man, I'm, I'm really worried that

00:15:06.580 there's just too many white teachers 0.97

00:15:09.640 at my son's school.

00:15:12.180 That's, that's my concern.

00:15:14.460 Yeah.

00:15:14.860 Mom and dad sitting around the kitchen table.

00:15:18.960 You know, honey, I'm really worried that a junior is,

00:15:21.520 he's just, he's around too many white teachers.

00:15:25.440 I'm worried about the racial makeup 1.00

00:15:27.300 of, of, of the teachers at his school.

00:15:30.320 That's, that's what I'm concerned about.

00:15:31.840 That's what Terry McAuliffe imagines.

00:15:33.780 So that's his, that's his closing case.

00:15:36.580 It wasn't just that, by the way,

00:15:37.860 he also brought in Randy Weingarten,

00:15:40.640 spoke at Terry McAuliffe's rally last night.

00:15:45.220 Randy Weingarten is the,

00:15:46.360 the president of the largest teachers union in America.

00:15:48.820 She's also the most despised figure in education 1.00

00:15:52.880 in the country.

00:15:55.360 I mean, she's one of the main reasons

00:15:57.880 why schools stayed shut down for 18 months

00:16:00.480 in many places.

00:16:01.920 She never wanted to open the schools back up again.

00:16:04.400 So all of these parents who had to deal with,

00:16:08.300 you know, quote unquote, remote learning,

00:16:10.100 their kids were on Zoom classes for 18 months,

00:16:12.460 not learning a damn thing.

00:16:14.540 Randy Weingarten, largely responsible for that.

00:16:18.740 Like there, there are,

00:16:20.180 I have not talked to a single parent

00:16:23.140 who has anything positive to say

00:16:26.520 about their kids' experience on Zoom classes

00:16:29.600 for a year or 18 months or however long it was,

00:16:32.220 depending on where they live.

00:16:33.900 I haven't talked to a single parent.

00:16:35.500 I've had this conversation with many parents

00:16:36.640 about the Zoom classes and how that went.

00:16:39.060 I haven't talked to a single one who said,

00:16:40.540 yeah, that was great.

00:16:41.540 I'm really happy my kids went through that.

00:16:44.640 This is, this is all my child needs

00:16:46.460 is just to sit in front of a computer

00:16:48.600 for seven hours and stare at a computer

00:16:50.420 and have this disembodied head 0.92

00:16:53.160 speaking back to them,

00:16:55.020 giving them busy work and assignments to do.

00:16:57.100 So Randy Weingarten, largely responsible for that.

00:17:01.100 One of the main voices, at least,

00:17:04.100 promoting that form of education.

00:17:06.220 And Terry McAuliffe brings her in.

00:17:10.120 Totally despised figure in education,

00:17:13.800 brings her in.

00:17:15.680 It's his last act before the polls open.

00:17:20.780 Incredible.

00:17:21.980 And I'm happy to see it.

00:17:24.120 Because I think, again,

00:17:26.100 I don't want to,

00:17:27.220 I'm afraid I'm going to eat my words on this,

00:17:29.440 but I think that was the nail in his coffin,

00:17:32.260 metaphorically speaking.

00:17:34.060 I just,

00:17:35.600 if everything happens,

00:17:37.180 and this is a big if,

00:17:39.460 if everything's above board

00:17:41.160 and everyone is playing fair for the most part,

00:17:47.100 I don't see how Terry McAuliffe wins.

00:17:48.360 And once again,

00:17:50.440 that is a big if,

00:17:51.140 especially because we know what the Democrats in Virginia did

00:17:55.880 only a few days ago

00:17:56.940 by sending some Democrat operatives

00:17:59.580 to a Glenn Youngkin campaign event

00:18:01.720 with tiki tortures,

00:18:03.280 pretending to be white supremacists.

00:18:04.820 And that was exposed almost immediately.

00:18:07.520 And then,

00:18:07.760 and then Lincoln Project came out and said,

00:18:10.140 oh yeah,

00:18:10.800 just kidding.

00:18:11.540 It was a practical joke.

00:18:12.900 Wasn't that funny?

00:18:14.420 No,

00:18:14.600 that was a fraud that they attempted.

00:18:16.540 And now there's a question about whether or not

00:18:18.200 another fraud was attempted

00:18:19.700 because these pictures from a Glenn,

00:18:22.860 this is,

00:18:23.140 this was Glenn Youngkin's rally in Loudoun County,

00:18:25.880 huge turnout,

00:18:27.420 people very excited.

00:18:29.760 And this is the picture that the media went with.

00:18:32.400 You can see it here on the screen.

00:18:33.700 This is the picture the media went with.

00:18:35.000 All the blue checks on Twitter

00:18:37.140 were passing this particular image around.

00:18:40.960 And there's a Glenn Youngkin event.

00:18:42.280 And then you could see there,

00:18:43.340 somebody in a denim jacket

00:18:44.820 and a cowboy hat

00:18:46.220 with a Confederate flag

00:18:48.940 prominently stitched

00:18:51.060 onto the back of their jacket.

00:18:53.760 Now,

00:18:54.660 I will say

00:18:55.880 if this person,

00:18:58.740 if this is real

00:19:00.260 and this is someone who sincerely

00:19:02.000 just wears a Confederate flag jacket,

00:19:04.280 I don't care.

00:19:06.860 I really don't care.

00:19:08.060 And it doesn't,

00:19:08.480 it has no,

00:19:09.600 it doesn't say anything about Glenn Youngkin.

00:19:11.300 So if one person decided to show up

00:19:14.660 to a Glenn Youngkin event

00:19:15.840 in a Confederate flag jacket,

00:19:17.720 that doesn't mean anything at all.

00:19:20.940 But you do have to ask questions

00:19:22.640 about how sincere this actually was,

00:19:24.120 especially because of this.

00:19:24.900 Now here you can see in the other picture,

00:19:26.480 here's where this guy is standing.

00:19:29.000 So he took a position

00:19:30.280 right leaning against the press pen.

00:19:33.260 So he's got like his calling card

00:19:36.520 that he's showing off

00:19:37.440 to the press

00:19:38.140 right where they are,

00:19:39.120 where they're all standing

00:19:39.840 with their,

00:19:40.160 you can see there,

00:19:40.800 with their cameras.

00:19:41.680 And he's showing it to them,

00:19:42.880 saying,

00:19:43.040 hey guys,

00:19:43.440 check this out.

00:19:46.000 Can we go back to the other,

00:19:47.000 let's go back to the first picture though.

00:19:49.660 Can we look at this?

00:19:50.840 Hey,

00:19:51.020 you see this denim jacket,

00:19:51.860 it looks like a brand new jacket,

00:19:53.080 no scuff marks or anything,

00:19:54.100 it looks brand new.

00:19:55.860 Um,

00:19:56.300 that,

00:19:56.860 the confederate flag

00:19:58.480 print on the back,

00:20:00.440 the,

00:20:00.580 the patch

00:20:01.160 also looks brand new,

00:20:03.600 bright red.

00:20:05.400 So it looks like he just got this jacket,

00:20:08.080 just put the patch on the back,

00:20:10.360 excited to go to the Glenn Youngkin route.

00:20:12.800 He's also got the,

00:20:13.520 the cowboy hat on.

00:20:14.740 He's with some woman,

00:20:15.480 also has a cowboy hat.

00:20:17.240 The only cowboy hats

00:20:18.620 in the crowd,

00:20:19.840 because this is again,

00:20:21.600 Loudoun County,

00:20:22.520 Virginia.

00:20:23.840 Okay,

00:20:24.280 this is not,

00:20:24.980 this is not Texas

00:20:25.760 where you see cowboy hats

00:20:27.280 all over the place.

00:20:29.980 And then the other strange thing

00:20:31.520 is that he's right there

00:20:33.740 in front of the media,

00:20:34.480 he's got the confederate flag thing going on.

00:20:36.980 We have no pictures

00:20:38.300 of the front of his face.

00:20:40.060 Nobody in the media

00:20:41.100 stopped this guy apparently

00:20:42.500 to ask him,

00:20:43.580 what's your name?

00:20:45.120 What are you doing here?

00:20:46.200 Tell us about yourself.

00:20:47.360 Why do you have the confederate flag

00:20:48.560 pin,

00:20:49.120 uh,

00:20:49.420 patch on the back of your jacket?

00:20:50.820 Now,

00:20:54.260 if this was a really,

00:20:55.920 sincerely,

00:20:56.560 a Glenn Youngkin supporter,

00:20:58.060 you don't think the media

00:20:59.340 would be tripping over themselves?

00:21:01.540 I mean,

00:21:01.700 literally tripping over themselves,

00:21:03.920 dogpiling over one another

00:21:06.180 to get to this guy,

00:21:08.240 get his face out there,

00:21:09.720 get his name,

00:21:10.440 and get him on camera

00:21:11.700 talking about why

00:21:13.340 he has the confederate flag

00:21:14.480 and why he,

00:21:16.040 as a,

00:21:16.460 you know,

00:21:16.860 supporter of the confederacy

00:21:17.760 is also supporter of Glenn Youngkin.

00:21:20.980 You don't think they'd be

00:21:21.800 incredibly eager

00:21:22.660 to get all that on camera?

00:21:25.180 But oddly enough,

00:21:26.220 the media discovered,

00:21:27.300 uh,

00:21:27.620 restraint

00:21:28.160 and they just,

00:21:28.780 they decided

00:21:29.380 to respect this man's privacy.

00:21:31.820 Isn't that nice of them?

00:21:33.320 Not show us his face,

00:21:34.460 not get his name.

00:21:37.980 Now,

00:21:38.440 it's

00:21:39.040 pretty,

00:21:40.020 pretty obvious.

00:21:40.720 This is another,

00:21:41.420 this is,

00:21:41.780 would seem to be another

00:21:43.920 intentional fraud

00:21:44.900 committed by someone.

00:21:47.580 And so that really is

00:21:48.840 their closing argument.

00:21:49.740 It is fraud

00:21:50.480 trying to label

00:21:53.160 Glenn Youngkin as a racist

00:21:54.420 um,

00:21:55.940 and,

00:21:56.540 uh,

00:21:56.760 and then

00:21:57.220 Randy Weingarten

00:21:58.540 and there aren't enough

00:22:00.200 black teachers.

00:22:02.860 That's Terry McAuliffe's

00:22:03.800 closing argument.

00:22:05.120 Uh,

00:22:05.400 I don't think it'll work for him.

00:22:06.560 I do think Glenn Youngkin wins.

00:22:07.840 The excitement,

00:22:09.320 it's,

00:22:09.740 it's,

00:22:10.020 you can't,

00:22:10.640 you know,

00:22:11.900 excitement is something

00:22:12.800 that's,

00:22:13.240 it's not easy

00:22:14.160 to conjure

00:22:16.180 by sheer force of will.

00:22:19.060 It's something that Republicans

00:22:20.300 have historically

00:22:21.500 not been

00:22:22.160 very good

00:22:22.920 at.

00:22:24.120 I mean,

00:22:24.720 Donald Trump

00:22:25.420 obviously has been able

00:22:27.700 to get people excited.

00:22:29.080 Other Republicans

00:22:29.760 have not been able

00:22:30.620 to do that.

00:22:31.740 And what's really encouraging

00:22:33.060 about Glenn Youngkin

00:22:33.860 is that he's been able

00:22:35.460 to sort of close

00:22:36.260 that excitement gap

00:22:37.760 and generate some

00:22:39.480 on a smaller scale

00:22:40.400 because he's running

00:22:40.860 for governor of Virginia,

00:22:41.600 not president,

00:22:42.060 but on a smaller scale

00:22:43.180 generates some of that

00:22:44.100 sort of Trumpian

00:22:44.940 excitement.

00:22:47.560 But he's doing it

00:22:48.780 by talking about

00:22:49.840 the issues.

00:22:50.920 He's not doing it

00:22:52.140 by aping

00:22:53.080 and imitating

00:22:53.680 Trump's style.

00:22:54.900 He's not doing it

00:22:55.840 by talking about Trump.

00:23:00.040 So I hope

00:23:00.840 that this is not only

00:23:01.780 a win in Virginia,

00:23:03.140 but,

00:23:03.380 but maybe

00:23:04.240 a little peek

00:23:06.600 into what a post-Trump

00:23:08.000 GOP

00:23:08.700 might look like.

00:23:12.120 Where it's,

00:23:13.180 people are mobilized,

00:23:14.280 they're excited,

00:23:15.380 we're talking about

00:23:16.180 the culture,

00:23:17.380 talking about education,

00:23:18.400 we're talking about

00:23:19.420 issues that parents

00:23:20.560 really do care about

00:23:21.720 and wake up

00:23:23.260 thinking about.

00:23:25.500 And,

00:23:26.280 crucially,

00:23:27.000 it's a GOP

00:23:28.700 that is not

00:23:29.320 entirely centered

00:23:30.580 around one personality,

00:23:32.300 around one guy.

00:23:33.940 Because the issue

00:23:34.700 with Trump

00:23:35.160 is that when he's

00:23:36.380 on the stage,

00:23:38.720 when he's in

00:23:39.520 the conversation,

00:23:40.440 he is the conversation

00:23:41.860 and he's the only,

00:23:42.840 everything is centered

00:23:43.600 around him

00:23:44.020 and he wants it

00:23:44.640 that way

00:23:44.980 when he's there.

00:23:47.400 But that's never

00:23:48.500 been the way

00:23:49.000 to have a lasting

00:23:49.940 cultural movement

00:23:50.960 that's structured

00:23:52.520 around one personality.

00:23:56.820 If it's going

00:23:57.500 to mean anything

00:23:58.340 and if we're going

00:24:00.040 to make any real

00:24:00.800 changes

00:24:01.400 and any real

00:24:02.420 cultural headway,

00:24:03.240 it has to be

00:24:04.140 much bigger

00:24:05.200 than that.

00:24:06.260 Much bigger

00:24:06.700 than one guy.

00:24:07.820 So,

00:24:08.100 maybe we're getting

00:24:08.720 a taste of that,

00:24:09.240 Virginia.

00:24:09.480 We'll see.

00:24:10.560 Okay,

00:24:11.240 next,

00:24:11.900 from NBC News,

00:24:13.380 the Supreme Court

00:24:14.120 on Monday

00:24:14.640 turned down

00:24:15.560 an appeal

00:24:16.280 from a Catholic

00:24:16.860 hospital in California

00:24:18.060 that was sued

00:24:20.460 after refusing

00:24:21.120 to perform

00:24:21.460 a hysterectomy

00:24:22.060 for a transgender man.

00:24:24.280 Transgender man,

00:24:25.740 i.e.

00:24:27.020 a woman 0.57

00:24:28.100 who calls

00:24:29.800 herself a man.

00:24:30.600 The court's denial

00:24:31.220 issued without comment

00:24:32.180 sends the lawsuit

00:24:33.620 back to state court

00:24:34.820 for further proceedings

00:24:35.840 against the hospital

00:24:37.360 and avoids for now

00:24:38.060 the issue of when

00:24:39.240 claims of religious freedom

00:24:40.560 can trump

00:24:41.060 anti-discrimination laws.

00:24:43.940 Justice Clarence Thomas,

00:24:45.220 Samuel Leto,

00:24:45.820 and Neil Gorsuch

00:24:46.600 said that the court

00:24:47.660 should have taken the case.

00:24:50.640 You notice who's missing

00:24:51.580 from that list.

00:24:53.020 Amy Coney Barrett,

00:24:54.820 Justice Kavanaugh,

00:24:56.160 were not interested

00:24:57.600 in taking this case.

00:24:58.440 what they said

00:25:04.540 to the hospital

00:25:05.020 is,

00:25:05.360 hey,

00:25:05.500 you're on your own.

00:25:08.180 Now,

00:25:08.420 when it comes

00:25:09.460 to religious freedom,

00:25:10.300 not just religious freedom,

00:25:11.500 but freedom

00:25:13.040 in general.

00:25:15.400 Because you don't

00:25:16.280 have to be,

00:25:16.960 in fact,

00:25:17.220 I'm a little,

00:25:18.500 I wish they had

00:25:19.220 taken this case

00:25:19.900 and this is a religious

00:25:20.840 freedom issue,

00:25:21.500 but,

00:25:23.160 you know,

00:25:24.600 I'm concerned

00:25:26.060 about making this

00:25:26.700 only a religious freedom 0.91

00:25:27.860 case because

00:25:28.580 when it comes to,

00:25:30.060 you know,

00:25:31.060 quote-unquote

00:25:32.040 sex change operations,

00:25:33.300 what they call it now,

00:25:33.960 gender affirmation care,

00:25:35.780 you don't have to be

00:25:37.140 religious to oppose that.

00:25:40.140 If you're a rational,

00:25:42.700 morally decent person,

00:25:44.060 you're opposed to that.

00:25:46.080 You should be opposed

00:25:47.220 to mutilating people

00:25:49.080 in order to conform

00:25:52.640 their delusional

00:25:53.600 perception of themselves,

00:25:54.960 in order to conform

00:25:55.660 their body

00:25:56.340 to their delusions

00:25:57.760 of themselves.

00:25:59.300 No matter what

00:26:00.480 your religious affiliation is,

00:26:01.820 including if you have

00:26:02.580 no religious affiliation,

00:26:03.700 you should be opposed

00:26:04.360 to that.

00:26:05.940 So it's not merely

00:26:07.120 a religious freedom issue,

00:26:08.120 but it is also that

00:26:09.160 and Amy Coney Barrett,

00:26:11.380 who pretty much

00:26:12.340 every conservative

00:26:12.920 was excited about,

00:26:13.820 myself included,

00:26:15.180 not interested

00:26:16.420 in taking the case.

00:26:17.140 Kavanaugh also,

00:26:19.600 less of a surprise,

00:26:20.380 doesn't want to take the case.

00:26:22.440 Now we've got

00:26:23.120 two big abortion cases

00:26:24.340 that are making their way

00:26:25.000 through the court right now

00:26:25.660 that are being,

00:26:26.840 the court is deliberating

00:26:28.740 over right now,

00:26:30.480 including the law

00:26:31.320 down in Texas.

00:26:33.660 And I'm very hesitant

00:26:35.360 to make any predictions there

00:26:36.620 based on the kinds

00:26:37.880 of questions

00:26:38.480 that the justices

00:26:39.880 are asking

00:26:40.420 as these arguments

00:26:42.200 are presented,

00:26:42.920 but there have been

00:26:44.420 potentially a few

00:26:45.100 red flags

00:26:45.640 from Amy Coney Barrett.

00:26:49.300 In fact,

00:26:49.880 at one point,

00:26:50.400 I think she asked

00:26:51.320 a question

00:26:52.240 referring to

00:26:55.300 Roe v. Wade

00:26:56.040 as a constitutional right

00:26:57.640 in her question.

00:27:00.100 So accepting

00:27:01.140 that premise

00:27:01.920 in the question

00:27:02.660 that she asked.

00:27:05.080 Maybe that was 0.51

00:27:05.680 a slip of the tongue,

00:27:06.460 maybe she just,

00:27:07.060 she wasn't being

00:27:07.780 careful enough

00:27:10.620 in her wording,

00:27:11.560 but if we're hoping

00:27:13.280 for Roe v. Wade

00:27:13.840 to be overturned,

00:27:14.900 it's concerning

00:27:16.760 to hear her

00:27:17.660 accepting it

00:27:19.080 as a constitutional right.

00:27:22.600 I don't know.

00:27:23.520 This is something

00:27:24.340 that I think

00:27:25.320 for a lot of people

00:27:26.100 it was thought

00:27:26.520 a lot of conservatives

00:27:27.200 that the Supreme Court

00:27:28.920 picks

00:27:29.300 were Trump's

00:27:31.060 greatest achievement,

00:27:32.120 but the way

00:27:34.000 things are heading

00:27:34.520 right now,

00:27:35.100 it's looking like

00:27:36.240 these might end up

00:27:36.940 being his greatest failures.

00:27:40.340 Gorsuch has been

00:27:41.140 surprisingly the most

00:27:42.260 solid of the three,

00:27:43.120 but so far

00:27:44.700 Barrett and Kavanaugh

00:27:45.520 have been huge

00:27:46.680 disappointments.

00:27:50.020 All right,

00:27:50.660 let's see

00:27:51.140 what else we got here.

00:27:55.140 Elon Musk,

00:27:56.080 this is from Yahoo,

00:27:56.880 it says,

00:27:57.100 Elon Musk,

00:27:57.680 the world's richest man,

00:27:58.820 challenged a United Nations

00:28:00.000 official's claim

00:28:01.040 that just a small

00:28:01.860 percentage of his wealth

00:28:02.880 could help solve

00:28:03.580 world hunger.

00:28:05.000 Musk was responding

00:28:05.680 to comments

00:28:06.160 by David Beasley,

00:28:07.320 director of the UN's

00:28:08.440 World Food Program,

00:28:09.840 who repeated a call

00:28:10.560 last week following

00:28:11.300 an earlier tweet

00:28:11.920 this month asking

00:28:12.680 billionaires like Musk

00:28:13.520 to step up now

00:28:14.660 on a one-time basis.

00:28:17.120 Beasley specifically

00:28:17.760 called for action

00:28:18.680 from Musk

00:28:19.220 and Amazon.com

00:28:20.260 co-founder Jeff Bezos,

00:28:22.200 the two men

00:28:22.960 atop the Bloomberg

00:28:23.720 Billionaires Index.

00:28:25.460 Just $6 billion

00:28:26.400 could keep

00:28:27.440 just $6 billion

00:28:28.680 could keep

00:28:31.120 42 million people

00:28:31.840 from dying,

00:28:32.500 Beasley said,

00:28:33.300 if the World Food Program

00:28:34.140 using transparent

00:28:35.240 and open accounting

00:28:36.020 can describe

00:28:37.520 on this Twitter thread,

00:28:38.700 this is from Musk now,

00:28:39.800 he says,

00:28:40.200 if they can describe

00:28:40.900 on this Twitter thread

00:28:41.480 exactly how

00:28:42.400 $6 billion

00:28:42.940 would solve

00:28:43.780 world hunger,

00:28:44.340 I will sell

00:28:44.940 Tesla stock

00:28:45.680 right now

00:28:46.220 and do it.

00:28:48.420 And so far,

00:28:49.580 no one has been able

00:28:50.820 to meet that challenge.

00:28:52.860 That's a fair question.

00:28:53.800 If you're saying

00:28:55.840 money can solve

00:28:57.240 the problem,

00:28:57.740 then how exactly

00:28:58.960 will,

00:29:00.000 it's not good enough

00:29:01.000 to say,

00:29:01.300 well,

00:29:01.400 we'll give the money

00:29:01.920 to this program.

00:29:02.720 How exactly

00:29:03.820 will this money

00:29:05.020 have that effect?

00:29:07.900 And

00:29:08.460 I'm pretty skeptical

00:29:10.400 of that myself

00:29:11.580 because

00:29:12.040 poverty

00:29:13.480 is not merely

00:29:15.020 a money problem

00:29:16.180 at its root.

00:29:16.900 Not merely.

00:29:19.860 It's a problem

00:29:20.840 of choice

00:29:21.540 and human will.

00:29:23.800 And when I say

00:29:25.100 that,

00:29:25.500 I am not saying

00:29:26.820 that poor people

00:29:27.480 wake up and say,

00:29:28.140 I want to be poor

00:29:28.700 and they make

00:29:29.040 the choice to be poor.

00:29:29.980 But that one way

00:29:31.020 or another,

00:29:31.700 very often,

00:29:32.660 choices lead to

00:29:33.800 poverty and often

00:29:34.700 these are not

00:29:36.440 the choices

00:29:37.020 of the impoverished

00:29:38.140 people.

00:29:39.760 Okay,

00:29:39.880 so for example,

00:29:41.560 much of world hunger

00:29:42.680 in other countries,

00:29:43.500 like in third world

00:29:44.100 countries,

00:29:44.840 is due in large

00:29:46.660 part to corrupt

00:29:47.660 political regimes,

00:29:49.840 dictatorships.

00:29:52.160 Okay,

00:29:52.600 so it's not

00:29:53.120 simply that the

00:29:53.960 countries don't

00:29:54.940 have the money,

00:29:55.820 but that corrupt

00:29:57.360 regimes choose to

00:29:58.640 keep their people 0.96

00:29:59.560 oppressed.

00:30:00.140 There's a whole lot

00:30:00.880 of hunger and

00:30:01.420 starvation in

00:30:02.080 North Korea.

00:30:04.220 That is not merely

00:30:05.340 a lack of resources,

00:30:06.640 it's that the

00:30:07.200 resources are hoarded

00:30:08.140 by a corrupt

00:30:09.480 political regime.

00:30:11.620 So that's

00:30:12.700 a choice made

00:30:14.260 by people,

00:30:14.840 not the poor

00:30:15.260 people,

00:30:15.600 but by the corrupt

00:30:16.660 politicians and

00:30:17.500 dictators and people

00:30:18.300 in charge,

00:30:18.800 bureaucracies.

00:30:19.540 homelessness in

00:30:22.360 America is

00:30:23.680 driven almost

00:30:24.360 exclusively by

00:30:25.440 drug addiction.

00:30:27.860 Drug addiction

00:30:28.540 itself is not a

00:30:29.620 choice.

00:30:30.400 To do drugs to

00:30:31.320 begin with is.

00:30:32.820 The other part of

00:30:33.480 that picture is

00:30:34.040 mental illness,

00:30:35.160 which of course,

00:30:36.160 again,

00:30:36.320 is not a choice,

00:30:37.000 but what makes

00:30:38.160 mental illness lead

00:30:39.260 to poverty are

00:30:40.240 the, you know,

00:30:40.980 quote unquote

00:30:41.320 choices made by

00:30:42.480 those afflicted.

00:30:43.760 Now these may be

00:30:44.260 choices that you

00:30:44.740 can't be blamed for

00:30:45.480 because you have a

00:30:45.920 mental illness,

00:30:46.600 but the point I'm

00:30:47.240 simply trying to

00:30:47.820 make is that

00:30:48.380 these are all

00:30:48.860 problems that

00:30:49.960 cannot be solved

00:30:51.080 by throwing

00:30:52.000 money at them.

00:30:54.560 Because very

00:30:55.280 often in many

00:30:56.260 of these cases,

00:30:57.220 the issue is

00:30:59.140 what people are

00:31:00.140 doing.

00:31:02.180 So if you

00:31:02.780 have,

00:31:03.960 if we have

00:31:05.440 poverty in a

00:31:06.260 third world

00:31:06.560 country that's

00:31:07.180 run by a

00:31:07.900 corrupt regime,

00:31:09.900 well, you

00:31:11.460 can't, you

00:31:11.800 can't simply

00:31:12.380 throw money at

00:31:12.980 it because it's

00:31:13.240 not going to

00:31:13.560 go where it

00:31:13.920 needs to go.

00:31:16.240 And we

00:31:16.740 certainly know

00:31:17.120 that with

00:31:17.440 homelessness.

00:31:18.860 there's a

00:31:21.160 great number

00:31:21.620 of homeless

00:31:21.960 people on

00:31:23.440 the street

00:31:23.760 right now

00:31:24.340 that you

00:31:26.060 could go and

00:31:26.760 hand them a

00:31:27.840 million dollars

00:31:28.540 and they'd

00:31:31.080 still be homeless

00:31:31.680 a week later

00:31:32.220 or the next

00:31:32.980 day.

00:31:33.240 I mean,

00:31:33.380 they would

00:31:33.760 just be

00:31:34.540 homeless still

00:31:35.580 because the

00:31:38.260 problem isn't

00:31:38.860 that simple.

00:31:39.560 money is

00:31:42.580 one of the

00:31:44.720 tools that

00:31:45.660 can be used

00:31:46.660 to address

00:31:47.520 this problem,

00:31:48.240 but it's

00:31:49.420 not what

00:31:49.680 fundamentally

00:31:50.060 causes it.

00:31:53.280 But as

00:31:55.580 always,

00:31:56.460 we're looking

00:31:57.840 for the

00:31:58.280 simplest possible

00:31:59.100 answers.

00:31:59.580 And we're

00:31:59.760 also looking

00:32:00.220 for easy

00:32:01.960 targets and

00:32:02.780 villains.

00:32:04.160 And so if we

00:32:04.700 see a lot of

00:32:05.180 poor people in

00:32:05.760 the world and

00:32:06.180 then we see

00:32:06.480 rich people,

00:32:07.020 it's easy

00:32:07.880 enough to

00:32:08.360 say,

00:32:08.640 well,

00:32:08.980 it's their

00:32:09.380 fault.

00:32:09.740 You got the

00:32:10.780 money,

00:32:11.100 give it to

00:32:11.400 those people

00:32:11.900 and everything

00:32:12.300 will be fine.

00:32:14.040 It's not that

00:32:14.720 simple.

00:32:14.960 I wish it

00:32:15.360 were that

00:32:15.580 simple,

00:32:16.540 but it isn't

00:32:17.460 and life

00:32:17.800 rarely is.

00:32:19.260 Okay,

00:32:19.580 here's something

00:32:20.000 that is kind

00:32:20.580 of simple,

00:32:20.940 I think.

00:32:21.740 It's a

00:32:22.300 video taken

00:32:23.980 by a mom

00:32:24.640 who was very

00:32:25.420 proud to take

00:32:26.100 this video and

00:32:26.900 put it online

00:32:27.560 for everyone to

00:32:28.160 see.

00:32:29.960 She is

00:32:31.560 letting her

00:32:32.060 daughter know 0.91

00:32:32.800 that she,

00:32:34.600 the daughter,

00:32:34.980 will soon be

00:32:36.040 able to be

00:32:36.560 vaccinated.

00:32:37.880 And this

00:32:38.740 is supposed

00:32:38.980 to be a

00:32:39.280 heartwarming

00:32:39.780 video based

00:32:40.580 on the

00:32:40.960 young girl's

00:32:41.980 reaction,

00:32:42.660 but I have

00:32:43.100 a,

00:32:44.060 I feel a little

00:32:44.520 bit differently

00:32:44.840 about it.

00:32:45.140 Let's watch

00:32:45.660 this.

00:32:47.080 This is my

00:32:47.780 daughter.

00:32:48.440 Hi.

00:32:49.340 She's nine.

00:32:50.560 We're about

00:32:51.200 to blind

00:32:51.600 react to

00:32:52.080 something.

00:32:53.000 Okay.

00:32:53.680 What does

00:32:53.980 that say?

00:32:57.220 Hold on,

00:32:58.040 dear.

00:33:03.480 What does

00:33:04.100 it say?

00:33:04.500 the COVID

00:33:06.900 vaccine for

00:33:07.820 kids is,

00:33:09.780 next week

00:33:10.420 should be

00:33:11.200 clear for

00:33:12.140 kids to

00:33:13.080 5 to

00:33:13.880 11.

00:33:14.940 What does

00:33:15.260 that mean

00:33:15.580 for you?

00:33:16.360 I can go

00:33:17.540 with my

00:33:17.820 friends.

00:33:18.600 Yeah.

00:33:19.500 I can finally,

00:33:20.720 you know,

00:33:20.960 go outside,

00:33:22.220 go to stores.

00:33:23.640 I'm excited.

00:33:29.120 I'm excited

00:33:29.860 tomorrow.

00:33:30.500 I thought

00:33:30.820 I was going

00:33:31.160 to be like

00:33:31.460 in a couple

00:33:31.820 months.

00:33:32.440 No,

00:33:32.700 apparently

00:33:32.920 it's next

00:33:33.400 week.

00:33:36.240 I love

00:33:36.780 you,

00:33:36.960 mom.

00:33:37.520 I love you

00:33:38.020 too,

00:33:38.280 mom.

00:33:40.760 She's

00:33:41.120 why you

00:33:41.420 need to

00:33:41.640 get

00:33:41.780 vaccinated.

00:33:43.320 Okay.

00:33:46.980 No,

00:33:47.440 she's why 0.94

00:33:47.860 you need

00:33:48.100 to be

00:33:48.260 in prison.

00:33:50.660 You

00:33:50.860 monster.

00:33:53.640 this is

00:33:55.520 another of

00:33:56.140 those tough

00:33:56.560 ones that I

00:33:56.920 almost regret

00:33:57.420 playing as

00:33:57.900 soon as I

00:33:58.200 play it

00:33:58.480 because I

00:33:58.820 can't,

00:34:00.020 like,

00:34:01.420 I'm running

00:34:02.620 through in my

00:34:03.040 head all of

00:34:03.660 the words

00:34:04.460 that I want

00:34:05.400 to use and

00:34:05.800 things I want

00:34:06.240 to say,

00:34:07.900 and I have

00:34:08.400 to just,

00:34:08.800 nope,

00:34:08.960 can't say

00:34:09.220 that,

00:34:09.440 can't say

00:34:09.680 that,

00:34:09.840 can't say

00:34:10.080 that,

00:34:10.340 and I

00:34:10.520 have to be

00:34:10.800 very careful

00:34:11.480 and selective.

00:34:15.480 You know,

00:34:15.920 if you think

00:34:16.300 I'm harsh

00:34:16.940 in the things

00:34:17.360 that I say,

00:34:17.800 there's like

00:34:18.300 95% of it,

00:34:19.940 especially when

00:34:20.460 it comes to

00:34:20.780 these parents

00:34:21.200 and what they

00:34:21.480 do to their

00:34:21.820 kids.

00:34:23.640 95% of it

00:34:24.580 has to be

00:34:24.880 left on the

00:34:25.460 mental cutting

00:34:26.040 room floor

00:34:26.440 because I

00:34:26.720 can't say

00:34:27.020 it out loud.

00:34:28.460 But that is

00:34:29.080 monstrous.

00:34:29.700 And this is a

00:34:30.480 woman who 0.99

00:34:30.880 should be in

00:34:31.300 prison.

00:34:31.640 She should

00:34:31.860 have her

00:34:32.080 kids taken

00:34:32.480 away from

00:34:32.860 her.

00:34:36.480 Locking your 0.87

00:34:36.980 child in

00:34:38.000 a home

00:34:38.640 for 18

00:34:40.220 months.

00:34:41.360 I mean,

00:34:41.620 listen to what

00:34:42.140 the girl said.

00:34:42.760 She said,

00:34:42.980 oh,

00:34:43.100 it means I

00:34:43.420 can go

00:34:43.820 outside.

00:34:46.540 This is the

00:34:47.120 kind of thing

00:34:47.620 that in any

00:34:48.300 other context,

00:34:49.340 if you heard,

00:34:50.940 and we do

00:34:51.280 hear about

00:34:51.640 cases of

00:34:52.540 kids being

00:34:53.140 locked in

00:34:53.860 their home

00:34:54.300 by their

00:34:55.240 crazy,

00:34:57.080 abusive,

00:34:59.220 barbaric

00:34:59.720 parents.

00:35:01.380 And in

00:35:01.840 any other

00:35:02.280 context,

00:35:02.700 when you

00:35:03.000 hear that,

00:35:04.060 you think,

00:35:04.500 well,

00:35:04.580 this is horrific

00:35:06.900 abuse.

00:35:08.600 These are kids

00:35:09.240 that need to be

00:35:09.660 taken out of

00:35:10.240 the home.

00:35:10.460 They need to be

00:35:10.760 removed from

00:35:11.220 the home

00:35:11.520 forcibly.

00:35:12.660 They need to

00:35:13.160 be saved

00:35:13.820 from the

00:35:14.140 clutches

00:35:14.540 of these

00:35:16.880 barbarians

00:35:17.740 in any

00:35:19.660 other context.

00:35:20.260 except in

00:35:23.800 COVID,

00:35:24.080 somehow it's

00:35:24.460 okay.

00:35:26.440 I mean,

00:35:26.840 taking COVID

00:35:27.340 out of it

00:35:27.680 for a second,

00:35:28.800 let's just

00:35:29.180 imagine that

00:35:31.420 exact same

00:35:32.620 kind of

00:35:33.060 video,

00:35:33.880 except it's

00:35:35.540 the flu.

00:35:37.860 The flu,

00:35:38.800 which,

00:35:39.180 as I've

00:35:39.500 said a

00:35:39.780 million times,

00:35:40.700 is a

00:35:41.760 much greater

00:35:42.620 threat,

00:35:43.720 a more

00:35:44.340 lethal threat

00:35:45.140 to children

00:35:46.080 like that

00:35:46.760 young girl

00:35:47.380 there than

00:35:48.200 COVID is.

00:35:48.800 and yet

00:35:51.000 if COVID

00:35:51.940 never existed

00:35:52.640 and you

00:35:53.240 heard of

00:35:53.480 a parent

00:35:53.860 who kept

00:35:54.740 their child

00:35:55.480 locked in

00:35:56.360 a home

00:35:56.880 for 18

00:35:57.720 months for

00:35:58.240 fear of

00:35:58.660 the flu,

00:36:00.280 wouldn't even

00:36:00.660 let them go

00:36:01.020 play outside

00:36:01.660 with their

00:36:02.040 friends,

00:36:03.080 you would

00:36:04.100 say that

00:36:04.500 parent is

00:36:05.060 crazy.

00:36:07.040 This is not

00:36:07.980 simply a

00:36:08.780 parenting choice,

00:36:09.880 a judgment

00:36:10.340 call.

00:36:10.900 No,

00:36:11.020 that's insane

00:36:11.920 and you are

00:36:13.140 a danger to

00:36:13.920 your child.

00:36:15.800 Well,

00:36:16.300 it's no

00:36:16.600 different here.

00:36:17.260 How could this

00:36:17.700 be any different?

00:36:18.220 This is

00:36:18.840 worse.

00:36:20.600 This is

00:36:21.260 worse because

00:36:21.700 COVID is

00:36:22.600 less of a

00:36:23.040 threat to

00:36:23.380 the kids.

00:36:26.320 And somehow

00:36:27.080 we just

00:36:27.420 accept this.

00:36:28.280 And meanwhile,

00:36:28.800 what makes

00:36:30.140 all this

00:36:30.620 all the

00:36:31.060 more,

00:36:31.520 you know,

00:36:32.220 just an

00:36:33.480 additional

00:36:33.920 morbid

00:36:34.680 irony here

00:36:35.300 is that

00:36:36.560 that mother

00:36:37.720 is extremely

00:36:40.660 overweight.

00:36:42.800 Okay,

00:36:43.680 so she

00:36:45.560 has her

00:36:46.080 child locked

00:36:46.700 in a home,

00:36:47.400 really to

00:36:48.340 protect

00:36:48.620 herself

00:36:49.220 because she

00:36:50.880 doesn't want

00:36:51.200 the kid

00:36:51.640 to bring

00:36:52.420 COVID back

00:36:53.340 to her.

00:36:55.040 And so

00:36:55.260 for her

00:36:55.620 own sake,

00:36:56.300 to keep

00:36:56.560 herself safe,

00:36:57.340 she keeps

00:36:57.580 the kid

00:36:57.800 locked away.

00:36:58.700 And yet,

00:36:59.220 she's that

00:36:59.600 concerned about

00:37:00.060 her safety,

00:37:00.820 and she's

00:37:01.900 willing to

00:37:02.460 deprive her

00:37:03.100 child of a

00:37:03.920 childhood,

00:37:05.180 take everything

00:37:05.820 from,

00:37:06.100 she will take

00:37:06.780 everything from

00:37:07.580 her daughter

00:37:08.000 rather than

00:37:09.380 deprive herself

00:37:10.700 of milkshakes

00:37:11.600 and french

00:37:12.080 fries.

00:37:14.020 She's so

00:37:14.580 concerned about

00:37:15.100 her health,

00:37:15.580 but she's 0.97

00:37:16.060 still got to

00:37:16.340 have the

00:37:16.540 milkshakes

00:37:16.900 and french

00:37:17.280 fries every

00:37:17.660 day.

00:37:20.160 Okay,

00:37:20.680 you get a

00:37:21.400 physique like

00:37:21.980 that by

00:37:22.520 eating fast

00:37:23.600 food like

00:37:24.160 every day.

00:37:25.060 I mean,

00:37:25.260 you have to

00:37:25.700 try.

00:37:30.440 You have to

00:37:31.160 try to put

00:37:31.660 that much

00:37:32.000 fat on your

00:37:32.440 body.

00:37:34.600 Not trying to

00:37:35.280 be mean.

00:37:35.760 Well,

00:37:35.900 I am trying to

00:37:36.340 be mean to

00:37:36.660 this particular

00:37:37.400 person anyway,

00:37:38.140 because they

00:37:38.420 deserve it.

00:37:39.640 But yeah,

00:37:39.880 you got to

00:37:40.340 try.

00:37:40.760 I mean,

00:37:40.880 you have to

00:37:41.540 put in at

00:37:42.520 least no

00:37:43.700 effort whatsoever

00:37:44.880 when it comes

00:37:45.740 to your diet

00:37:46.300 and fitness.

00:37:48.300 And so she's

00:37:49.140 putting in no

00:37:50.040 effort,

00:37:50.920 willing to

00:37:51.340 sacrifice nothing

00:37:52.680 for health,

00:37:54.360 but to her

00:37:55.380 daughter she

00:37:55.860 says you got

00:37:56.740 to sacrifice

00:37:57.100 everything.

00:38:00.840 Repulsive,

00:38:01.840 horrific,

00:38:02.560 terrible.

00:38:03.380 Okay,

00:38:03.820 what else we

00:38:04.560 got?

00:38:04.780 One other thing

00:38:05.260 I want to

00:38:05.500 show you.

00:38:05.780 This is from

00:38:06.480 as we get

00:38:07.360 closer to

00:38:09.540 Christmas and

00:38:10.500 Thanksgiving is

00:38:11.260 cannibalized and

00:38:11.820 we just skip

00:38:12.380 right over to

00:38:12.740 Christmas.

00:38:13.480 We're going to

00:38:14.000 see a lot of

00:38:14.740 these kinds of

00:38:15.780 posts.

00:38:16.500 And this is

00:38:16.820 from this is a

00:38:17.620 viral post from

00:38:18.660 someone named

00:38:20.220 Dave.

00:38:21.540 And it says

00:38:22.920 it's November

00:38:23.460 1st.

00:38:24.060 The war on 0.57

00:38:24.620 Christmas has

00:38:25.060 officially begun.

00:38:26.320 Jesus wasn't

00:38:27.040 white.

00:38:27.580 Yep,

00:38:27.840 that's right.

00:38:28.520 Your son of

00:38:29.060 God is not a

00:38:29.720 white man.

00:38:30.340 He's as brown 1.00

00:38:31.000 as me.

00:38:31.940 And there's a

00:38:32.580 image of what

00:38:33.620 he imagines Jesus

00:38:34.620 must have looked

00:38:35.200 like.

00:38:35.440 Darker skin

00:38:38.820 and that's

00:38:39.800 his image of

00:38:40.740 what Jesus

00:38:41.020 would look

00:38:41.600 like.

00:38:42.240 I just love

00:38:42.900 these kinds

00:38:43.400 of posts.

00:38:43.780 And as I

00:38:43.980 said,

00:38:44.160 as we get

00:38:44.420 closer to

00:38:44.780 Christmas,

00:38:45.040 we're going

00:38:45.220 to see more

00:38:45.540 and more

00:38:45.800 of this.

00:38:46.660 We're going

00:38:46.900 to see,

00:38:47.220 ah,

00:38:47.440 Jesus wasn't

00:38:47.960 white.

00:38:48.460 And oh,

00:38:49.000 Jesus was a 0.69

00:38:49.500 socialist.

00:38:50.280 And Jesus

00:38:50.640 was a,

00:38:51.440 he was an

00:38:51.860 illegal immigrant

00:38:52.580 and a refugee.

00:38:53.400 And they're

00:38:53.520 going to start

00:38:53.720 throwing all

00:38:54.120 that stuff out

00:38:54.820 at you.

00:38:56.080 And,

00:38:56.240 but especially

00:38:58.460 when it comes

00:38:58.920 to this,

00:38:59.380 this,

00:38:59.620 this,

00:38:59.920 this dunk

00:39:01.100 that they

00:39:01.440 attempt.

00:39:02.980 A couple

00:39:03.540 of things about

00:39:04.020 that.

00:39:04.220 first is

00:39:05.880 that,

00:39:07.160 well,

00:39:07.500 number one,

00:39:08.340 white,

00:39:09.000 the term

00:39:09.540 white would 0.97

00:39:10.920 have had

00:39:11.200 no meaning

00:39:11.920 in the

00:39:13.080 context of

00:39:13.740 the ancient

00:39:14.200 world.

00:39:15.820 Okay,

00:39:16.220 so if you

00:39:16.560 had been

00:39:16.780 walking around

00:39:17.540 in Jesus's

00:39:18.400 time and

00:39:19.760 you had

00:39:19.980 gone up

00:39:20.260 and referred

00:39:20.620 to a

00:39:21.000 white person,

00:39:21.960 they would

00:39:22.160 have no

00:39:22.880 idea what

00:39:23.260 you're even

00:39:23.540 talking about.

00:39:24.860 They would

00:39:25.260 think you're

00:39:26.200 talking about

00:39:26.480 a ghost.

00:39:28.040 If you said,

00:39:28.680 I just saw

00:39:29.000 a white

00:39:29.240 person,

00:39:29.600 they would

00:39:29.860 run away

00:39:30.400 because they

00:39:30.580 think you're

00:39:30.820 talking about

00:39:31.160 a ghost.

00:39:32.500 It would have

00:39:33.080 no meaning.

00:39:34.220 So to

00:39:35.400 say that

00:39:35.740 Jesus wasn't

00:39:37.320 white,

00:39:37.660 well,

00:39:38.060 yeah,

00:39:38.340 that's just

00:39:38.800 a category

00:39:39.460 of person

00:39:40.420 that wouldn't

00:39:40.920 have meant

00:39:41.380 anything to

00:39:42.040 anyone back

00:39:42.700 then.

00:39:45.680 But more

00:39:46.860 precisely,

00:39:47.400 more to the

00:39:47.740 point,

00:39:48.640 no Christian 1.00

00:39:49.700 cares about

00:39:50.860 this.

00:39:52.260 This is

00:39:52.920 something you

00:39:53.260 exclusively find

00:39:54.260 on the left

00:39:54.840 among non-Christians,

00:39:57.560 obsessing over

00:39:58.640 Jesus's ethnicity

00:40:00.000 and race.

00:40:00.680 do you know

00:40:01.700 Jesus wasn't

00:40:02.300 white?

00:40:03.240 So?

00:40:04.300 No one

00:40:05.040 cares.

00:40:06.120 I have never

00:40:06.860 in my life

00:40:07.540 met an

00:40:08.200 actual

00:40:08.580 professing

00:40:09.080 Christian

00:40:09.460 who talks

00:40:11.340 about this

00:40:11.920 or cares

00:40:12.640 or is at

00:40:13.820 all focused

00:40:14.740 on it.

00:40:15.680 because Jesus

00:40:22.580 is the

00:40:24.960 Son of

00:40:25.280 God

00:40:25.560 come to

00:40:25.960 redeem

00:40:26.260 mankind.

00:40:26.960 That tends

00:40:27.500 to be the

00:40:27.920 focus,

00:40:28.560 not what

00:40:29.380 his skin

00:40:29.860 pigment

00:40:30.260 happened to

00:40:30.720 be.

00:40:31.940 But we

00:40:32.280 know on the

00:40:32.600 left,

00:40:32.940 for them,

00:40:34.160 the first

00:40:35.220 thing that

00:40:35.580 matters about

00:40:36.180 anybody,

00:40:36.720 including

00:40:36.960 Jesus,

00:40:38.080 is their

00:40:38.780 demographic.

00:40:39.320 first we

00:40:40.240 got to look

00:40:41.240 at all the

00:40:42.060 boxes that

00:40:42.580 are checked

00:40:42.900 off.

00:40:44.180 Everything is

00:40:44.840 demographic.

00:40:45.960 It's all

00:40:46.300 about identity.

00:40:48.160 And so they

00:40:48.620 assume that we

00:40:49.620 have the same

00:40:50.360 focus when we

00:40:51.640 don't.

00:40:53.520 All right.

00:40:54.820 And yeah,

00:40:55.420 I mean,

00:40:55.720 in churches

00:40:57.640 where

00:40:58.440 traditionally

00:41:00.100 there's a lot

00:41:00.700 of white

00:41:00.940 people,

00:41:01.460 maybe you'll

00:41:01.820 see images

00:41:02.400 of Jesus

00:41:03.100 where the

00:41:03.820 skin's a

00:41:04.180 little bit

00:41:04.460 lighter.

00:41:05.320 In churches

00:41:05.900 where there's

00:41:06.980 a higher

00:41:07.500 portion of

00:41:08.140 non-white 0.52

00:41:08.560 people,

00:41:08.820 you might

00:41:09.140 see images

00:41:09.620 of Jesus

00:41:10.080 where his

00:41:10.460 skin's a

00:41:10.820 little bit

00:41:11.120 darker.

00:41:11.960 Again,

00:41:12.420 who cares?

00:41:13.800 We don't

00:41:14.460 know exactly

00:41:15.220 what Jesus

00:41:16.020 looked like

00:41:16.440 at all,

00:41:16.840 in fact.

00:41:17.940 We have

00:41:18.480 no

00:41:18.800 illustrations.

00:41:20.740 He didn't

00:41:21.260 pose for

00:41:21.680 any portraits.

00:41:24.460 And so

00:41:24.840 depending on

00:41:25.740 who you are

00:41:26.200 and what you

00:41:26.520 look like,

00:41:26.960 and you're

00:41:27.160 kind of

00:41:27.380 imagining

00:41:27.860 Jesus in 0.60

00:41:28.420 your head,

00:41:29.160 he might

00:41:29.520 reflect you

00:41:30.380 a little

00:41:30.760 bit.

00:41:33.680 And that's

00:41:34.240 just a

00:41:34.540 natural thing

00:41:35.160 that the

00:41:35.400 mind does.

00:41:36.200 But we

00:41:36.740 don't attach

00:41:37.580 any significance

00:41:38.320 to that.

00:41:38.680 That's

00:41:38.920 something

00:41:39.100 that they

00:41:39.460 do on

00:41:40.140 the left.

00:41:40.560 And people

00:41:41.060 who are,

00:41:41.420 again,

00:41:41.620 non-Christian.

00:41:44.060 All right,

00:41:44.480 so let's

00:41:45.820 move ahead

00:41:46.200 now to

00:41:46.660 reading the

00:41:47.020 comments.

00:41:47.260 All right,

00:42:05.640 this is from

00:42:06.060 GM.

00:42:08.400 Referring, I

00:42:08.940 guess, to the

00:42:09.360 video of the

00:42:09.940 that we played

00:42:10.360 yesterday of the

00:42:10.900 pilots who

00:42:12.380 were recording

00:42:13.160 that UFO sighting.

00:42:14.220 says,

00:42:14.660 attention,

00:42:15.120 bros,

00:42:15.440 this is your

00:42:15.820 captain speaking.

00:42:17.080 There's like

00:42:17.600 this wicked

00:42:18.060 orb pulsating

00:42:18.920 in the sky,

00:42:19.640 LMAO.

00:42:20.760 Just don't

00:42:21.120 want y'all to

00:42:21.580 freak out and 0.59

00:42:22.140 let's go,

00:42:23.020 Brandon.

00:42:24.100 Yeah, that's

00:42:24.880 the vibe I

00:42:27.000 got from those

00:42:27.460 captains who

00:42:28.180 sounded like

00:42:29.940 normal guys,

00:42:30.640 but again,

00:42:31.000 I don't want

00:42:31.360 normal guys as

00:42:32.660 pilots of an

00:42:34.340 airplane that I'm

00:42:34.940 on.

00:42:36.420 Late MNF

00:42:37.460 says,

00:42:38.060 you want your

00:42:38.500 pilot to look and

00:42:39.260 sound like

00:42:39.700 Sully

00:42:39.960 Sullenberger.

00:42:40.420 Yeah, exactly.

00:42:41.220 That's exactly

00:42:41.760 what I want.

00:42:42.240 In fact,

00:42:42.680 Sully

00:42:42.920 Sullenberger,

00:42:44.060 and he's the

00:42:45.200 pilot who

00:42:45.660 landed that

00:42:46.340 plane right in

00:42:47.060 the Hudson.

00:42:48.100 Not an easy

00:42:48.740 thing to do.

00:42:49.920 And I think it's

00:42:50.660 not a coincidence

00:42:51.300 that he was

00:42:52.560 like this white 0.74

00:42:53.820 haired guy with

00:42:54.700 a mustache in

00:42:55.700 his, you know,

00:42:56.200 I think like in

00:42:56.720 his early 50s at

00:42:57.620 the time.

00:42:58.860 I think that's

00:42:59.440 what all pilots

00:43:00.280 should look and

00:43:00.740 sound like.

00:43:01.060 I think, in

00:43:01.440 fact, first of

00:43:02.460 all, the

00:43:02.660 mustache.

00:43:03.580 When I get a

00:43:04.360 look in the

00:43:05.040 cockpit and I

00:43:06.600 see a pilot with

00:43:07.380 a mustache, I

00:43:08.100 immediately feel

00:43:08.920 safe.

00:43:10.180 Man or a 0.93

00:43:10.700 woman, by the 0.68

00:43:11.160 way.

00:43:11.800 No discrimination

00:43:12.260 here.

00:43:13.680 I think that

00:43:14.020 should be a

00:43:14.440 legal requirement.

00:43:16.300 And yeah, I do

00:43:16.680 want them to

00:43:17.060 sound, I want

00:43:17.460 them to have

00:43:17.780 kind of that

00:43:18.180 vibe, sound

00:43:18.880 like, like I

00:43:19.280 said, someone

00:43:19.540 from the 40s

00:43:20.060 or 50s.

00:43:21.520 Good

00:43:21.840 enunciation.

00:43:24.560 These pilots

00:43:25.180 are here sometimes,

00:43:26.060 it kind of, it

00:43:27.180 freaks you out

00:43:27.820 because they

00:43:28.200 sound half

00:43:28.800 asleep and

00:43:29.360 they're mumbling.

00:43:30.340 You know, they

00:43:30.620 come over to

00:43:30.980 the intercom and

00:43:31.460 say, attention,

00:43:31.920 you can't

00:43:33.080 understand what

00:43:33.420 the hell they're

00:43:33.760 saying.

00:43:35.580 I want to know

00:43:36.140 that you're

00:43:36.360 engaged up there.

00:43:37.560 That's the

00:43:37.900 point.

00:43:38.060 Elizabeth says,

00:43:39.880 the football

00:43:40.180 draft is

00:43:40.880 unethical.

00:43:41.580 The humanity

00:43:41.980 of the players

00:43:42.560 is completely

00:43:43.060 put to the

00:43:43.620 side as teams

00:43:44.360 and fantasy

00:43:44.820 players argue

00:43:45.560 back and

00:43:46.000 forth and

00:43:46.360 weigh the

00:43:46.720 odds.

00:43:47.680 However, it's

00:43:48.120 resoundingly

00:43:48.580 not racist.

00:43:49.480 All races of

00:43:50.120 players get the

00:43:50.660 same treatment.

00:43:51.580 It's like the

00:43:51.960 feminists who 0.85

00:43:52.380 call everything

00:43:52.880 rape.

00:43:53.620 When your

00:43:53.880 only moral

00:43:54.260 standard is

00:43:54.780 racial, every

00:43:55.460 social problem

00:43:56.080 you see becomes

00:43:56.720 race-obsessed.

00:43:57.360 Well, you're

00:43:58.320 correct, Elizabeth,

00:43:59.420 that if the

00:44:00.800 NFL draft and

00:44:01.840 the process of

00:44:02.360 recruiting players

00:44:03.260 was dehumanizing,

00:44:05.100 then you would

00:44:06.160 be correct in

00:44:06.620 that it dehumanizes

00:44:07.280 everybody and so

00:44:08.000 it wouldn't be

00:44:08.380 racial even then.

00:44:09.600 But you're wrong

00:44:10.700 in calling it

00:44:11.240 unethical.

00:44:12.140 I mean,

00:44:12.380 these are people

00:44:14.080 who are paid a

00:44:15.620 lot of money to

00:44:16.420 do what they do

00:44:16.980 for a living and

00:44:18.460 their physical

00:44:20.400 fitness, you

00:44:21.980 know, the

00:44:23.320 things that they're

00:44:23.860 able to do with

00:44:24.680 their bodies on the

00:44:26.060 football field or

00:44:27.080 whatever sport

00:44:27.620 they're playing.

00:44:28.600 That's obviously

00:44:29.240 very relevant and

00:44:30.040 so you need to be

00:44:30.500 able to measure

00:44:30.980 that.

00:44:32.140 Whatever you want

00:44:32.720 to do for a

00:44:33.160 living, you're

00:44:33.540 bringing skills and

00:44:36.140 hopefully certain

00:44:37.680 skills and qualities

00:44:38.600 and traits to the

00:44:39.280 table and your

00:44:40.500 employer, to decide

00:44:41.440 if they want to

00:44:41.940 hire you, they

00:44:42.540 have to have some

00:44:42.920 way of measuring

00:44:43.520 those skills.

00:44:45.780 And in football,

00:44:46.540 this is just how

00:44:47.000 they do it.

00:44:47.400 So I think to

00:44:48.160 call it dehumanizing

00:44:48.900 is absurd.

00:44:50.340 And by the way,

00:44:50.960 if anyone wants

00:44:51.600 to dehumanize me

00:44:52.820 in that way,

00:44:53.680 by giving me a

00:44:55.700 $40 million

00:44:56.680 contract, I

00:44:57.560 will take it.

00:44:59.560 I will be a

00:45:00.560 slave in that

00:45:01.040 way.

00:45:01.600 If the Daily

00:45:02.060 Wire, if they

00:45:02.580 decided they

00:45:03.080 wanted to

00:45:03.380 dehumanize me

00:45:04.280 and enslave 0.97

00:45:04.960 me with a

00:45:05.900 $40 million

00:45:06.380 contract, I

00:45:07.780 will humbly

00:45:08.660 accept it.

00:45:12.020 Daniel says,

00:45:12.720 the cancellation

00:45:13.080 from this episode

00:45:13.740 was by far the

00:45:14.400 best cancellation

00:45:15.020 of all time.

00:45:15.640 I was laughing

00:45:15.960 so hard I was

00:45:16.480 literally crying.

00:45:17.200 Thanks, Matt,

00:45:17.580 I needed that.

00:45:18.060 Well, shame

00:45:18.320 on you then,

00:45:19.300 Daniel.

00:45:20.360 Shame on you.

00:45:22.400 What else do

00:45:23.020 I have to do

00:45:23.300 to explain

00:45:23.800 that this is

00:45:25.860 a solemn

00:45:26.300 subject of

00:45:27.000 Joe Biden

00:45:27.380 pooping himself

00:45:28.080 allegedly?

00:45:30.060 This is not

00:45:30.860 fodder for jokes

00:45:31.780 and laughs.

00:45:34.780 I canceled you

00:45:35.820 once, now I

00:45:36.180 got to cancel

00:45:36.520 you again.

00:45:36.800 And you're

00:45:37.040 banned from

00:45:37.320 the show.

00:45:37.660 That's what

00:45:37.820 you get.

00:45:40.200 Let's see.

00:45:41.840 P.F.

00:45:42.600 Arabi says,

00:45:43.540 the pilot in

00:45:44.160 that specific

00:45:44.640 video from the

00:45:45.220 cockpit pretty

00:45:45.860 clearly says,

00:45:46.760 let's go Braves, 0.56

00:45:47.780 who are in the

00:45:48.140 World Series

00:45:48.540 now.

00:45:49.380 It would have

00:45:49.680 been awesome if

00:45:50.140 he actually said,

00:45:50.820 let's go Brandon

00:45:51.480 though.

00:45:53.980 Yeah, that's

00:45:54.760 an important

00:45:55.560 point also.

00:45:57.420 I mean, we

00:45:57.680 talked about

00:45:58.080 the ridiculous

00:45:59.100 controversy over

00:45:59.980 a pilot allegedly

00:46:01.140 saying, let's go

00:46:01.820 Brandon.

00:46:02.220 Well, I think

00:46:02.580 it's probably

00:46:03.200 the most relevant

00:46:04.100 to point out

00:46:04.560 that he didn't

00:46:05.720 even say that,

00:46:06.400 it sounds like.

00:46:06.780 He actually said,

00:46:07.200 let's go Braves.

00:46:08.520 But if he had

00:46:09.300 said, let's go

00:46:09.860 Brandon, I agree

00:46:10.440 with you, I wish

00:46:10.900 he had.

00:46:11.720 If he had, it

00:46:12.460 wouldn't matter.

00:46:14.600 Alex says,

00:46:15.320 Matt, loved how

00:46:16.020 you compared a

00:46:16.660 woman not taking

00:46:17.360 a husband's last

00:46:18.040 name is like not

00:46:19.360 sharing bank

00:46:19.960 accounts.

00:46:20.440 Can you please

00:46:20.820 explain in a more

00:46:21.620 articulate manner

00:46:22.440 better than myself

00:46:23.400 why a husband and 0.96

00:46:24.060 wife having two

00:46:24.720 separate bank

00:46:25.160 accounts and even

00:46:25.840 a combined one

00:46:26.540 for bills is

00:46:27.260 incredibly dumb

00:46:28.000 and shows a

00:46:28.940 sign of distrust

00:46:29.600 in your spouse

00:46:30.220 because this has

00:46:31.280 become common

00:46:31.820 among several

00:46:32.200 people I know,

00:46:32.760 love the show.

00:46:33.760 Yeah, it is

00:46:34.300 dumb and indestructive

00:46:35.300 to your marriage,

00:46:35.840 I think, if it's

00:46:37.720 a complete separation

00:46:38.600 of finances.

00:46:39.380 Now, I know

00:46:39.760 there are some

00:46:40.140 couples I've

00:46:40.640 talked to who

00:46:41.240 they'll have

00:46:42.260 separate little

00:46:43.620 checking accounts

00:46:44.500 where they keep

00:46:45.340 a little bit of

00:46:45.820 spending cash for

00:46:46.600 the week, kind

00:46:47.420 of a weekly

00:46:48.120 allowance deal,

00:46:48.900 and they do

00:46:51.340 that just as a

00:46:52.480 way of keeping

00:46:53.760 track of their

00:46:54.320 discretionary spending

00:46:55.060 throughout the week.

00:46:56.620 I mean, I think

00:46:57.120 that's fine, as long

00:46:58.100 as they're not

00:46:58.460 actually separate

00:46:59.080 accounts.

00:46:59.520 Like, these are

00:46:59.920 accounts you both

00:47:00.780 have your names on,

00:47:01.540 it's just that you've

00:47:02.040 chosen to use them

00:47:05.280 in this way and

00:47:05.760 organize your funds

00:47:06.500 that way.

00:47:07.200 Obviously, no problem

00:47:08.040 with that.

00:47:08.440 the issue is when

00:47:11.320 finances are

00:47:13.720 completely separated

00:47:14.740 as you do find

00:47:15.700 increasingly in

00:47:17.280 married couples.

00:47:20.060 And this, again,

00:47:20.800 to me, this is not

00:47:22.000 as severe.

00:47:23.180 I know there are a

00:47:23.640 lot of people who

00:47:24.040 see it in the

00:47:24.380 reverse, where

00:47:25.020 having separate

00:47:26.460 finances is a more

00:47:27.480 severe separation

00:47:28.400 than having separate

00:47:29.920 names.

00:47:30.260 I think it's not as

00:47:30.840 severe, but it's

00:47:31.280 still not good

00:47:32.600 because it's a lack

00:47:34.060 of trust that you're

00:47:35.440 showing in your

00:47:35.880 spouse.

00:47:36.200 and you're also

00:47:38.100 just showing a

00:47:38.960 determination to,

00:47:41.640 in this significant

00:47:42.320 way, in a financial

00:47:43.200 way, to live a

00:47:44.140 separate life.

00:47:45.580 And there's nothing

00:47:46.300 wrong with living a

00:47:47.480 financially separate

00:47:48.160 life from other

00:47:49.360 people.

00:47:50.520 It's just that if you

00:47:51.780 want that, then don't

00:47:52.660 get married.

00:47:53.820 If you still want to

00:47:54.840 have your financial

00:47:55.760 independence, I hear

00:47:56.580 that too.

00:47:57.200 Well, I want to be

00:47:57.640 financially independent.

00:47:59.080 Then why did you

00:47:59.560 get married?

00:48:00.840 I want to be

00:48:01.440 financially independent.

00:48:02.140 I want to have my

00:48:02.580 own name.

00:48:03.580 Okay.

00:48:04.120 I mean, you had that

00:48:04.960 already before

00:48:05.880 marriage, so what

00:48:07.140 is it exactly you're

00:48:08.000 trying to get out

00:48:08.660 of marriage?

00:48:11.040 The whole point of

00:48:12.060 marriage is that

00:48:12.520 you're coming together

00:48:13.420 as one unit and

00:48:16.100 sharing your life

00:48:16.800 together.

00:48:17.120 If you're not

00:48:17.380 willing to do

00:48:17.800 that, then I

00:48:18.160 would say you

00:48:20.860 shouldn't be getting

00:48:21.260 married.

00:48:21.620 And then the other

00:48:22.560 big issue, the

00:48:24.760 reason why a lot of

00:48:25.560 people do this is

00:48:26.760 they're looking

00:48:27.580 towards the future

00:48:28.400 and they're thinking

00:48:30.480 about contingency

00:48:31.780 plans and, hey,

00:48:32.900 just in case we get

00:48:34.180 divorced, it'd be a 0.92

00:48:35.300 lot easier if we

00:48:35.900 had our finances

00:48:36.840 separated ahead of

00:48:37.600 time.

00:48:39.080 So you're getting

00:48:39.740 married, but you're 0.54

00:48:41.980 keeping one foot

00:48:42.820 outside the door.

00:48:44.760 You know, and you're

00:48:45.380 keeping your coat

00:48:45.960 there and your shoes

00:48:46.840 there, right?

00:48:47.240 You're keeping

00:48:47.520 everything ready just

00:48:48.680 in case I got a

00:48:49.460 split real quickly.

00:48:51.460 You can't have a

00:48:52.160 marriage that way.

00:48:52.640 If you go into a

00:48:53.220 marriage that way,

00:48:55.380 preparing ahead of

00:48:56.300 time for the moment

00:48:57.820 when you leave,

00:48:59.020 you'll leave.

00:48:59.660 I mean, the only

00:49:02.560 way to have a

00:49:03.820 marriage, have a

00:49:04.320 happy marriage, and

00:49:05.340 to have a real

00:49:06.000 chance of staying

00:49:06.800 together is if

00:49:08.740 you've ruled that

00:49:09.460 possibility out to

00:49:10.980 begin with.

00:49:12.660 You know, you hear

00:49:13.420 this story about

00:49:14.260 Cortez when he

00:49:17.620 came to, you

00:49:18.700 know, what is now

00:49:20.480 modern-day Mexico,

00:49:21.380 and he had this

00:49:23.020 small band of

00:49:24.080 conquistadors, and

00:49:24.840 they eventually

00:49:25.300 conquered the

00:49:26.060 Aztecs with the 0.99

00:49:27.440 help of some of

00:49:29.120 the neighboring

00:49:29.440 tribes who were

00:49:31.440 happy to be

00:49:31.980 liberated from

00:49:32.640 Aztec rule so 0.95

00:49:33.600 they wouldn't be

00:49:34.100 sacrificed and have

00:49:35.000 their, you know,

00:49:35.720 have their hearts

00:49:36.380 cut out anymore.

00:49:36.980 But anyway, before

00:49:38.780 he made that march

00:49:39.540 inland, you hear the

00:49:40.280 story about how he

00:49:41.000 burned the ships,

00:49:42.760 you know, basically

00:49:43.480 saying to his men,

00:49:44.620 there's no turning

00:49:46.060 back now.

00:49:46.500 You have to be fully

00:49:47.140 committed to this

00:49:47.820 because you're not

00:49:48.220 going anywhere.

00:49:49.360 We have no way of

00:49:50.280 escaping.

00:49:51.000 The only way out is

00:49:51.920 through.

00:49:54.080 And so in that one

00:49:55.600 specific way, I

00:49:58.220 think marriage is

00:49:58.780 kind of similar.

00:49:59.340 You sort of burn

00:49:59.980 the ships and you

00:50:00.900 say, this is it,

00:50:02.040 we're together now.

00:50:03.320 We're not leaving

00:50:04.200 any escape plans.

00:50:07.580 And hopefully, you

00:50:08.420 know, having hearts

00:50:10.240 ripped out and all

00:50:10.740 that kind of stuff,

00:50:11.300 hopefully there's no

00:50:11.840 similarities there to

00:50:12.880 marriage, but you 0.93

00:50:13.420 never know.

00:50:14.180 You know, there's

00:50:14.560 nothing that can

00:50:15.220 drain you both

00:50:16.940 financially and

00:50:18.940 mentally and

00:50:19.620 emotionally than

00:50:20.340 having a lot of

00:50:21.240 debt, especially a

00:50:21.920 lot of high interest

00:50:22.780 debt to pay each

00:50:23.780 month.

00:50:24.380 And if you do have

00:50:25.040 that, you know, the

00:50:25.500 cost can become

00:50:26.380 overwhelming and it

00:50:27.620 can be easy to

00:50:28.200 fall deeper into

00:50:29.280 debt.

00:50:29.540 It becomes this

00:50:30.340 vicious cycle.

00:50:31.640 But look, it

00:50:32.380 doesn't have to be

00:50:32.880 that way.

00:50:33.260 With a 10-minute

00:50:33.720 call to American

00:50:34.400 financing, you can

00:50:35.200 learn about options

00:50:36.180 to get out of debt

00:50:37.060 faster with help

00:50:38.340 from your mortgage.

00:50:39.480 You'll get a much

00:50:40.100 lower rate and you'll

00:50:40.940 only have one

00:50:41.660 manageable monthly

00:50:42.660 payment to focus

00:50:43.480 on.

00:50:44.080 Makes it a lot easier

00:50:44.860 for you financially

00:50:45.680 and also, as I

00:50:46.740 said, just mentally

00:50:48.580 as well, to not have

00:50:49.320 all these things to

00:50:49.940 worry about.

00:50:50.540 It's a strategic

00:50:51.080 solution that could

00:50:51.800 save you up to

00:50:52.280 $1,000 a month

00:50:53.440 plus tens of

00:50:54.640 thousands in the

00:50:55.280 long term.

00:50:55.940 Imagine the

00:50:56.400 difference that

00:50:56.820 can make.

00:50:57.540 Then call American 0.64

00:51:04.380 fees.

00:51:05.000 You can even skip

00:51:06.020 two mortgage payments.

00:51:07.940 So, if you want to

00:51:08.960 take advantage of this,

00:51:09.560 you've got to call

00:51:16.900 or visit

00:51:19.560 All right, let's get

00:51:20.100 now to our daily

00:51:20.600 cancellation.

00:51:20.940 So, tonight, with

00:51:25.580 any luck, the World

00:51:26.900 Series will come to

00:51:27.800 a close.

00:51:28.440 If the Braves beat

00:51:29.600 the Astros in Game

00:51:30.820 Six, they'll have

00:51:31.520 won the Series and

00:51:32.440 the World Champion

00:51:33.080 Trophy and, best of

00:51:34.680 all, the baseball

00:51:35.580 season will finally be

00:51:36.700 over.

00:51:37.340 It's not that I hate

00:51:37.980 baseball.

00:51:38.960 Anytime I try to

00:51:39.720 watch it, I can't

00:51:40.380 stay awake long

00:51:41.120 enough to develop any

00:51:41.940 strong feelings about

00:51:42.800 it.

00:51:43.380 But I do think that

00:51:43.960 baseball is a fine

00:51:44.760 activity for children,

00:51:45.720 especially fat

00:51:46.620 children who need

00:51:47.780 some physical activity

00:51:48.600 but aren't fit enough

00:51:49.600 to play a real sport

00:51:50.540 yet.

00:51:51.320 I think it's great

00:51:51.860 for that.

00:51:52.840 My main issue with

00:51:53.680 baseball as a

00:51:54.840 spectator sport is that

00:51:55.680 it involves far too

00:51:56.460 much standing and

00:51:57.260 sitting.

00:51:58.140 At any given moment

00:51:59.100 during any play,

00:51:59.960 95% of the people on

00:52:01.180 both sides have

00:52:01.860 nothing to do.

00:52:03.200 The entire team on

00:52:04.180 offense is sitting

00:52:04.920 down, except for the

00:52:05.880 guy at bat.

00:52:06.960 Then on defense, the

00:52:08.360 majority of the guys

00:52:09.440 in the field won't be

00:52:11.000 involved in the play

00:52:11.840 even if the batter

00:52:12.560 hits the ball.

00:52:13.720 If I want to watch

00:52:14.560 people standing or

00:52:15.320 sitting around, bored

00:52:16.140 and despondent,

00:52:17.020 interspersed with brief

00:52:18.040 moments of moderate

00:52:19.240 physical exertion, I'll

00:52:20.460 go to the DMV or the

00:52:22.120 post office or

00:52:22.740 something.

00:52:23.760 So it's just a long

00:52:24.420 way of saying that

00:52:25.260 baseball has some

00:52:26.260 problems.

00:52:27.540 These are all practical

00:52:28.460 problems and problems

00:52:29.820 that can't be fixed

00:52:30.700 except by introducing,

00:52:31.980 you know, I don't know,

00:52:32.600 you could introduce

00:52:33.020 tackling to baseball or

00:52:34.400 maybe by arming the

00:52:36.080 outfielders with paintball

00:52:37.120 guns.

00:52:37.440 I'm not sure what that

00:52:38.320 would do exactly, but

00:52:39.500 I'm just thinking out

00:52:40.820 loud, brainstorming, or

00:52:42.520 else we might need a

00:52:43.800 constitutional amendment

00:52:44.540 to simply abolish

00:52:45.560 baseball entirely.

00:52:47.360 The media, on the

00:52:48.400 other hand, has been

00:52:50.000 focused on trying to

00:52:51.100 find other problems in

00:52:51.980 baseball aside from the

00:52:52.740 fact that it's, you

00:52:53.460 know, boring as hell. 0.71

00:52:55.000 For them, of course, the

00:52:57.040 problem is not

00:52:57.580 entertainment.

00:52:58.600 For them, it's always

00:52:59.620 about race.

00:53:01.100 And as the season is

00:53:02.280 coming to a close, they

00:53:03.480 are in a mad dash to

00:53:04.900 find some way to

00:53:06.120 racialize baseball.

00:53:07.760 And the fact that the

00:53:08.600 Braves are involved has

00:53:09.700 provided them with

00:53:10.460 obvious fodder.

00:53:11.620 So here's CNN, says

00:53:13.060 native groups and

00:53:13.820 advocates are demanding

00:53:14.780 that the Atlanta Braves

00:53:16.180 eliminate the tomahawk

00:53:17.400 champ chop symbol and

00:53:19.360 gesture from its

00:53:20.000 branding and game day

00:53:21.100 traditions, saying the

00:53:22.320 team is perpetuating

00:53:23.160 racist stereotypes as

00:53:24.440 the Braves take the

00:53:25.100 national stage in the

00:53:25.780 World Series.

00:53:26.500 Leaders from the

00:53:26.980 native community said

00:53:27.840 this week it's past

00:53:29.080 time for the Braves to

00:53:29.900 join other professional

00:53:30.700 sports teams such as

00:53:31.540 the Cleveland Guardians

00:53:32.940 and Washington football

00:53:33.720 team in removing

00:53:34.720 offensive imagery and

00:53:35.660 mascots, which they

00:53:36.700 say reduce native

00:53:37.660 people down to

00:53:38.440 caricatures.

00:53:39.860 Now, you'll be

00:53:40.320 shocked to learn that

00:53:41.340 Joy Reid over on

00:53:42.320 MSNBC agrees that

00:53:44.120 it's racist for

00:53:44.800 Braves fans to do

00:53:45.700 the tomahawk chop.

00:53:47.400 Then again, she

00:53:47.920 thinks the fans, if

00:53:48.700 they're white, are 0.96

00:53:49.360 racist no matter what

00:53:50.040 they do.

00:53:50.320 I mean, they're racist

00:53:50.740 when they breathe,

00:53:51.380 they're racist when

00:53:51.840 they walk into the

00:53:52.900 stadium, they're racist

00:53:54.100 when they put their

00:53:54.640 pants on in the

00:53:55.220 morning.

00:53:56.160 The tomahawk chop is

00:53:57.200 just the racist cherry

00:53:58.420 on top of the bigoted

00:53:59.540 cake.

00:54:00.040 So let's listen to

00:54:00.820 Joy Reid.

00:54:02.140 The World Series

00:54:03.040 between the Atlanta

00:54:03.880 Braves and the Houston

00:54:04.800 Astros is happening

00:54:05.900 now, shifting to the

00:54:07.560 stadium in Atlanta for

00:54:08.820 the next three games,

00:54:10.420 which means viewers

00:54:11.300 across the country will

00:54:12.380 soon be subjected

00:54:13.200 to a particular show

00:54:14.580 of fandom that has

00:54:15.880 roiled baseball for

00:54:17.180 decades.

00:54:18.360 And that's the

00:54:18.880 tomahawk chop.

00:54:20.360 Correction, the racist

00:54:21.680 tomahawk chop.

00:54:23.200 A synchronized movement

00:54:24.060 of the arm by Atlanta

00:54:25.760 fans at home games, a

00:54:27.040 gesture and chant

00:54:28.420 promoting stereotypes,

00:54:29.840 caricatures, and

00:54:30.440 frankly, hatred of

00:54:31.780 Native American people.

00:54:33.360 The chop gets its

00:54:34.400 World Series spotlight

00:54:35.740 starting tomorrow, as

00:54:37.600 other teams are

00:54:38.500 retiring such

00:54:39.460 appropriation.

00:54:40.180 The Washington football

00:54:41.560 team ditched its

00:54:42.380 former name, a racial

00:54:43.360 slur we will not be 1.00

00:54:44.220 repeating here.

00:54:45.440 And the Cleveland

00:54:46.000 Indians banished their 1.00

00:54:47.340 extremely offensive logo

00:54:48.900 and also changed their

00:54:50.100 name to the Guardians.

00:54:52.100 This week, baseball

00:54:53.420 commissioner Rob Manfred

00:54:55.080 came out in defense of

00:54:56.200 Atlanta, saying, quote,

00:54:57.780 the Native American

00:54:58.380 community in that region

00:54:59.380 is fully supportive of

00:55:00.240 the Braves program,

00:55:01.060 including the chop.

00:55:02.240 But yeah, no.

00:55:04.300 Because Native Americans

00:55:05.240 and allies have protested

00:55:06.560 the chop for at least 30

00:55:08.020 years, including actual

00:55:09.700 Native American baseball

00:55:10.640 players like Cardinals

00:55:11.880 reliever Ryan Helsley, a

00:55:13.780 member of the Cherokee

00:55:14.640 Nation who was forced to

00:55:15.980 pitch amid the chop when

00:55:17.880 his team faced the Braves.

00:55:19.480 The National Congress of

00:55:20.760 American Indians responded

00:55:21.840 to Manfred, saying Native

00:55:23.280 people are not mascots.

00:55:25.140 Degrading rituals like the 0.99

00:55:26.740 tomahawk chop that

00:55:28.040 dehumanize and harm us have

00:55:29.520 no place in American society.

00:55:31.780 Wait, I'm sorry.

00:55:32.880 Let's back up for a second.

00:55:34.120 The tomahawk chop promotes 1.00

00:55:35.800 hatred of Native Americans?

00:55:37.220 Is that what you think

00:55:38.540 these fans are saying to

00:55:39.420 themselves as they move

00:55:40.240 their arms like that? 0.93

00:55:41.280 Damn Native Americans, I

00:55:42.440 hate them.

00:55:43.400 Damn them.

00:55:45.460 I find that unlikely.

00:55:46.900 In fact, if you if you

00:55:48.320 hate a certain person or

00:55:50.360 certain type of person,

00:55:51.280 you wouldn't want to pay

00:55:52.300 tribute to them in that

00:55:53.560 way.

00:55:53.840 You also wouldn't want

00:55:54.460 them as a mascot.

00:55:55.800 If a mascot is supposed to

00:55:57.140 be some kind of degrading

00:55:58.200 insult, why hasn't any

00:56:00.240 team named themselves, I

00:56:01.300 don't know, the Nazis?

00:56:02.340 How about the Atlanta

00:56:03.120 Nazis?

00:56:04.560 Maybe that should be the

00:56:05.100 new name.

00:56:05.400 I mean, if that's the

00:56:07.280 idea, right?

00:56:07.660 With a mascot, you're

00:56:08.280 supposed to be insulting

00:56:08.840 somebody.

00:56:10.660 But if they did that, I'm

00:56:11.620 quite sure that the Joy

00:56:12.420 Reads of the world would

00:56:13.200 combust from pure outrage,

00:56:14.800 accusing the team of

00:56:15.500 promoting and celebrating

00:56:16.300 Nazism. 0.57

00:56:16.980 And in that case, she would

00:56:17.940 be correct.

00:56:18.800 That's because a mascot is

00:56:19.920 meant to be a positive

00:56:20.960 thing, a promotion, a

00:56:22.740 celebration.

00:56:24.680 Indian mascots and

00:56:25.580 chants are a tribute to

00:56:26.920 Native Americans, not an 0.99

00:56:28.260 insult.

00:56:28.700 Why do Native American 1.00

00:56:31.720 words and imagery make for

00:56:33.640 good sports mascots?

00:56:34.680 Well, because Native 0.99

00:56:36.020 American culture was a 1.00

00:56:37.620 warrior culture.

00:56:38.520 That's what the Tomahawk 0.69

00:56:39.460 chant and chop specifically

00:56:42.180 harkens back to and pays

00:56:43.600 homage to.

00:56:45.160 Indians were warring people. 1.00

00:56:46.720 That's a historical fact.

00:56:47.840 There's no reason to hide

00:56:48.620 from it or deny it.

00:56:49.840 The effort to remove all of

00:56:51.500 the Native American themes

00:56:52.440 from sports is part of a

00:56:54.180 larger effort to sanitize

00:56:57.880 Indian culture and its

00:56:58.800 history, to feminize and

00:57:01.020 sterilize it, to paint the

00:57:03.480 Indians as helpless, weak 1.00

00:57:04.880 victims rather than the

00:57:06.760 formidable, forceful, and

00:57:08.840 ferocious people that they

00:57:10.360 often were.

00:57:11.500 This is something that the

00:57:12.800 left wishes to do in the

00:57:14.040 past and the present, as

00:57:15.080 Native Americans of today

00:57:16.100 are portrayed as petty,

00:57:17.880 you know, limp sorts of 0.95

00:57:18.960 people who are constantly

00:57:19.800 crying over sports mascots,

00:57:22.020 somehow gravely injured by

00:57:23.380 team names and stadium

00:57:24.680 chants.

00:57:26.060 I don't think that the

00:57:27.080 majority really are so

00:57:28.020 fragile.

00:57:29.260 And for anyone of any

00:57:30.560 racial or ethnic group who

00:57:32.060 is that fragile to be that

00:57:33.620 upset about a team mascot,

00:57:35.940 it's all the more reason

00:57:37.100 not to bend to their wind

00:57:39.360 and give them everything

00:57:40.780 they want.

00:57:42.320 And so the people

00:57:42.980 complaining about racism

00:57:43.820 here are, of course,

00:57:44.840 canceled.

00:57:45.220 But I also have to say that

00:57:46.720 for non-racial reasons,

00:57:48.760 baseball as well is

00:57:50.840 canceled.

00:57:51.480 So all of that is

00:57:52.380 canceled.

00:57:53.220 And we all, we tie it

00:57:54.000 together in a nice bow as

00:57:55.660 baseball hopefully comes to a

00:57:56.760 merciful close tonight.

00:57:57.900 We can only pray.

00:57:59.020 And that'll do it for us

00:57:59.640 today.

00:57:59.980 Thanks for watching.
