The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 837 - Kyle Rittenhouse Is A Hero

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Kyle Rittenhouse takes the stand in his own defense. The DA pulls out every dirty trick in the book in an effort to railroad, and we'll discuss the latest in the case today. Also, a George Floyd biography is coming soon. Will it include the part where he forced his way into a woman's home and robbed her at gunpoint? I guess we'll find out.

00:00:15.320 And two couples at an IVF clinic have a mix-up, the results in their babies getting swapped. Plus, YouTube gets rid of the dislike counter in order to protect the fragile feelings of content creators like myself, which I really appreciate. And workplace masturbator Jeffrey Toobin appears on CNN with some highly ironic analysis of the Rittenhouse case. We'll talk about all that and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:45.320 You know, if you're using the internet without ExpressVPN, you're leaving yourself exposed. It really is like, you know, running into the gas station with the keys still in the ignition and the door unlocked.

00:00:56.700 Most of the time, you're probably fine, but what if you come back to see someone driving with your car? You never know what will happen. Every time you connect to an unencrypted network, cafes, hotels, airports, any hacker on the same network can gain access to your personal data, passwords, financial information, etc.

00:01:12.180 It doesn't take much technical knowledge to hack somebody. Just some cheap hardware is needed. A smart 12-year-old could do it. I mean, I couldn't do it, but I'm dumber than a smart 12-year-old.

00:01:20.860 Your data is valuable. Hackers can make up to $1,000 per person selling personal info on the dark web.

00:01:26.780 So why use ExpressVPN? Because it creates a secure encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet. Hackers can't steal your sensitive data.

00:01:34.860 It would take a hacker with a supercomputer over a billion years to get past ExpressVPN's encryption, which means that you're pretty safe, okay?

00:01:43.060 You're pretty safe. And you can, if you get ExpressVPN, you are keeping yourself secure. That's the name of the game here.

00:01:59.440 In one of the most famous scenes from A Man for All Seasons and perhaps the best, Thomas Moore is arguing with his son-in-law, William Roper, about the meaning and value of the law.

00:02:09.740 And Roper wants Moore to arrest a guy that he, Roper, has judged as bad.

00:02:14.440 Though he can't explain what law the guy has actually broken, Moore calmly explains that being bad, generally speaking, isn't against the law in and of itself.

00:02:22.980 He can't go arresting people for that reason because that would be against the law to do.

00:02:27.680 So Roper, indignant, accuses Moore of giving the devil the benefit of law, and Moore says that he would indeed give even the devil the benefit of law.

00:02:37.380 Roper, looking to take the moral high ground, says that, well, he would cut down every law in England to get a chance to go after the devil, if that's what it takes.

00:02:46.680 To which Moore responds and says,

00:02:48.140 When the last law was down, the devil turned round on you. Where would you hide? The law's all being flat.

00:02:53.520 This country is planted thick with laws from coast to coast, and if you cut them down, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that blow then?

00:03:00.800 Yes, I'd give the devil the benefit of law for my own safety's sake.

00:03:04.960 Now, I've thought about that scene a lot as I watched the Kyle Rittenhouse case.

00:03:08.580 It's clear now, and has always been clear to any honest observer, that Rittenhouse committed no crime.

00:03:13.780 He's an innocent man. Innocent boy, really, as he was only 17 at the time of this incident.

00:03:18.800 But the left, to include the corporate media, big tech, Democrat Party, the DA in the case,

00:03:24.600 they're willing to destroy the law, rip it to shreds, cut down every law in the United States, if they have to, to punish Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:03:31.780 Now, at least Roper, in A Man for All Seasons, wanted to cut down the law to get to the devil,

00:03:36.340 which would have been a bad enough idea, as Thomas Moore explained.

00:03:39.500 Kyle Rittenhouse, though, is not the devil.

00:03:41.540 He is, in fact, a good man, even a hero, as we'll talk about today.

00:03:45.600 The men he killed in self-defense were far more devilish than he is.

00:03:50.300 If anything, then, the left is cutting down the law to defend the devil.

00:03:54.080 But the effect will be the same in the end, if they succeed.

00:03:56.900 We'll be a nation with no law, a nation with nothing that can call itself a justice system.

00:04:03.060 Now, there's plenty more to say about the trial, but let's begin by playing a few important clips from yesterday.

00:04:07.460 Rittenhouse took the stand in his own defense.

00:04:09.820 No doubt a risky move to have him testify, considering that the state had totally failed to prove its case or even provide enough evidence to justify bringing the case in the first place.

00:04:19.480 The defense, as we know, basic law here, the defense is not there to prove anything.

00:04:27.340 It's up to the prosecution to provide proof of the crime.

00:04:30.980 If the prosecution can't, and certainly couldn't in this case, then that should be the end of it.

00:04:36.040 There's really no need for the defense to call a single witness, much less put the accused himself on the stand.

00:04:41.820 That's the way it should work, but that depends on the jury understanding what its role is supposed to be and acting on that understanding without any ulterior motives.

00:04:51.180 Unfortunately, you can't always rely on that, which is probably why the defense tried to seal the deal by putting Kyle up there.

00:04:57.260 Having watched his entire testimony, though I can't get inside the minds of the jurors, it seems to me that the gamble paid off because Kyle didn't come across like a cold-blooded murderer as he has been cast.

00:05:11.000 He seemed very much as he is, a kid, a kid who suffered a terrible trauma and had to fight for his life in the moment on the streets of Kenosha and is now having to fight for his life once again.

00:05:24.940 It's the kind of pressure that would take an unimaginable psychological toll on anybody, especially somebody so young.

00:05:32.840 And that toll, that burden, was made apparent early in Kyle's testimony when he broke down on the stand.

00:05:38.480 Let's watch that.

00:05:39.060 Once I take that step back, I look over my shoulder and Mr. Rosenbaum, Mr. Rosenbaum was now running from my right side.

00:05:54.480 And I was cornered from in front of me with Mr. Zeminski.

00:06:00.640 And there were three people right there.

00:06:19.960 Take a deep breath, pal.

00:06:21.100 Now, that's what a panic attack looks like for anyone who is not familiar.

00:06:40.080 Of course, as expected, leftists on social media, if you were expecting them to have any humanity, then you were sorely mistaken.

00:06:46.680 They mocked him for this display, accusing him of crying crocodile tears.

00:06:51.660 There are many posts like this one from Anna Navarro.

00:06:54.780 She said, Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed Anthony Hubert, 26, Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and injured Gage Groskraus, now 27.

00:07:02.480 Think about how much their loved ones have cried.

00:07:04.800 Real anguish and grief, not crocodile tears.

00:07:07.860 Now, it's funny to hear people like this deride a kid for crying on the stand as he faces false murder charges.

00:07:16.280 Kyle Rittenhouse was violently attacked by a mob, had to defend himself with lethal force.

00:07:20.200 And immediately upon doing that, he was, in order to save his life, immediately upon doing that, all of the most powerful forces in society conspired

00:07:27.320 and have been conspiring to ruin him and take away his freedom.

00:07:32.640 In the face of this, he cried.

00:07:35.360 Meanwhile, people like Anna, if a stand-up comedian tells a joke, or if a politician they don't like is elected,

00:07:43.120 or if you misgender them, they'll break down in tears.

00:07:46.880 So they cry all the time about everything, wielding their fragile emotions like a battering ram.

00:07:52.340 Yeah, they think they're in a position to look with contempt on a kid who cries while facing the kind of pressure

00:07:58.340 that the vast majority of humans on planet Earth have never faced, and will never face.

00:08:05.440 We talked yesterday about how the word trauma is way overused, and everyone's running around all the time

00:08:10.260 claiming how they're traumatized by everything.

00:08:12.780 Well, here is an appropriate use.

00:08:16.820 This is an application for trauma.

00:08:18.480 This is a kid who has suffered real trauma.

00:08:20.540 That night, that is a traumatic experience, and what he's gone through over the last year,

00:08:25.740 and this trial, also traumatic experience.

00:08:29.060 One other point about this.

00:08:30.360 Navarro attempts to solicit sympathy for Rosenbaum and Huber, the two men who were killed.

00:08:37.240 The media has been playing this game for a year, trying to tug on our heartstrings,

00:08:41.440 calling on us to mourn poor Rosenbaum and Huber.

00:08:44.500 So it becomes relevant then to point, because they have introduced this, right?

00:08:49.980 Just like in a trial, and now we're in the court of public opinion,

00:08:54.400 they have opened this door here by talking about how we should feel so bad for Rosenbaum and Huber.

00:09:00.040 And on that note, it becomes relevant to point out that Rosenbaum was not only a sex offender,

00:09:07.820 but in fact, a serial child rapist.

00:09:11.000 He molested and anally raped multiple boys.

00:09:14.860 He had just recently got out of prison for sex crimes when this happened.

00:09:17.560 Okay, so he is a serial child rapist, goes to prison, gets out of prison,

00:09:23.760 and then one of the first things he does is he tries to chase someone down and kill them.

00:09:29.600 To put it as generous as I can, Joseph Rosenbaum was a piece of human filth.

00:09:36.860 I mean, that's how I feel about child rapists.

00:09:38.540 I don't know about you.

00:09:40.800 Huber was slightly better, but only by comparison.

00:09:43.040 Rather than a child rapist, he was merely a repeat domestic abuser,

00:09:47.260 guilty of, among other things, choking and strangling a woman.

00:09:50.700 Now, these facts may not be relevant to the shootings themselves,

00:09:53.080 but they are relevant if we're being asked to feel sympathy for the quote-unquote victims

00:09:58.100 or feel any emotion towards them other than contempt.

00:10:03.300 Rittenhouse was justified in his actions that night

00:10:05.380 because Huber and Rosenbaum were violently attacking him, leaving him no choice,

00:10:09.280 as has been incontrovertibly proven.

00:10:11.200 But it's also worth noting that the world is a better place

00:10:14.360 without people especially like Joseph Rosenbaum in it.

00:10:19.860 Bad person.

00:10:21.760 And it strikes me that the left mourns a pedophile child rapist

00:10:25.360 only a few days after celebrating when a different child molester's name

00:10:29.060 was put on a Navy ship.

00:10:32.100 Harvey Milk.

00:10:33.240 Maybe eventually Joseph Rosenbaum will get his own ship too.

00:10:36.280 So these people really seem to be big fans of child rapists.

00:10:40.200 You might start drawing some conclusions about them.

00:10:43.940 Now, back to the trial.

00:10:45.140 Perhaps all we really need to say in analyzing the state's cross-examination

00:10:48.440 is that they actually spent time questioning Kyle

00:10:52.020 about the video games that he plays,

00:10:55.040 which put him in the position of having to explain to the DA

00:10:58.060 that video games and real life are not the same.

00:11:01.340 Isn't one of the things people do in these video games

00:11:05.240 try and kill everyone else with your guns?

00:11:12.960 Yeah, it's a video game.

00:11:14.420 It's just a video game.

00:11:15.560 It's not real life.

00:11:16.680 Sir, isn't it true that you've played Super Mario World?

00:11:20.940 Is it not true that in that game you jump on little mushroom men

00:11:25.060 and kill them?

00:11:26.760 Sir.

00:11:30.000 Establishing a pattern.

00:11:32.000 So this is what grasping at straws looks like.

00:11:34.120 And that was, if anything, that was like the highlight.

00:11:36.900 That was the best moment from the DA.

00:11:40.040 Maybe the whole trial.

00:11:41.120 That's like as good as it got.

00:11:43.240 It was an absurd and misleading line of questioning,

00:11:45.580 but at least it wasn't a grave constitutional violation.

00:11:48.200 The constitutional violations happened at a different point

00:11:50.060 when the DA began questioning Kyle

00:11:51.840 about the fact that Kyle exercised his right

00:11:53.960 to remain silent after his arrest.

00:11:56.480 Prosecutors are not allowed to stand in front of a jury

00:11:59.960 and imply that silence is incriminating

00:12:02.580 because the whole point of your right to remain silent

00:12:04.880 is that you are not being forced to incriminate yourself.

00:12:09.340 Okay?

00:12:09.920 The judge then had to jump in

00:12:11.360 and remind the DA of this fact.

00:12:16.900 You need to account for this.

00:12:21.080 Your Honor, I don't want to jury here.

00:12:25.940 He's commenting on my client's right to remain silent.

00:12:30.240 No, Your Honor.

00:12:30.980 I am making the point that after hearing everything in the case,

00:12:35.200 now he's tailoring his story to what has already been introduced.

00:12:40.580 The problem is this is a grave constitutional violation

00:12:43.780 for you to talk about the defendant's silence.

00:12:50.680 That is, and you're right on the borderline.

00:12:56.840 And you may, you may be over, but it better stop.

00:13:03.060 Understood.

00:13:04.460 This is, I can't think of the case, the initial case on it,

00:13:10.080 but it's, this is not permitted.

00:13:11.700 Now, it's not often that you hear a judge

00:13:15.040 accuse a DA of a grave constitutional violation in open court.

00:13:20.000 That's how things have gone in this trial.

00:13:22.020 A little bit later on, as the prosecutor continued

00:13:23.940 with lines of questioning that were not admissible

00:13:26.260 and which had been, he'd been warned to avoid by the judge,

00:13:30.780 continued along this path.

00:13:33.160 The judge was then forced to intervene again,

00:13:35.080 and this time he wasn't quite as kind about it.

00:13:39.680 Why would you think that that made it okay for you

00:13:43.420 without any advance notice to bring this matter before the jury?

00:13:47.760 You are already, you were, I was astonished

00:13:51.780 when you began your examination

00:13:54.320 by commenting on the defendant's post-arrest silence.

00:13:58.840 That's basic law.

00:14:00.080 It's been basic law in this country for 40 years, 50 years.

00:14:03.800 I have no idea why you would do something like that.

00:14:06.560 And it gives, well, I'll leave it at that.

00:14:10.860 So I don't know what you're up to.

00:14:13.620 Now, I think what he was going to say there,

00:14:15.460 not to try to read his mind,

00:14:16.880 but maybe words to the effect of like,

00:14:19.720 if there's a conviction here, this is,

00:14:21.540 this is an appeal all day long.

00:14:23.220 I mean, if there is somehow a conviction here,

00:14:26.780 a grave miscarriage of justice,

00:14:31.100 the good news, at least,

00:14:32.500 the whole lot of bad news,

00:14:33.460 the good news, at least,

00:14:34.120 is that this is appealed all day long.

00:14:35.680 I mean, you've got,

00:14:36.460 you have the judge in the case

00:14:37.800 telling the prosecutor

00:14:39.180 that he committed a grave constitutional violation.

00:14:42.540 He said, you crossed the line and did that.

00:14:46.720 Look, there are gray areas in life.

00:14:49.060 There are times when the line between good and bad,

00:14:51.080 you know, the good guy and the bad guy

00:14:52.400 might not be as clear.

00:14:54.780 This is not one of those times, okay?

00:14:56.480 The bad guys may as well be wearing name tags

00:14:59.420 that say, hi, I'm the bad guy.

00:15:01.080 That's how brazen all of this is.

00:15:03.580 And that leads me to two final points.

00:15:06.040 One is, you know, what, what are they,

00:15:08.440 what are they really doing here?

00:15:09.360 Why are they going after this kid?

00:15:12.240 Well, much of the prosecutor's questioning

00:15:13.860 revolved around the gun he was using

00:15:16.020 and how big it was and how scary it was.

00:15:19.120 You know, he, he, he observes,

00:15:20.920 the prosecutor does,

00:15:22.060 that Kyle Rittenhouse had a,

00:15:23.380 had a bigger gun

00:15:24.340 than, than, than what his assailant had.

00:15:28.020 You had a, you had a bigger gun.

00:15:30.200 I mean, he had a smaller gun.

00:15:31.260 So why were you with the bigger gun

00:15:32.840 worried about a smaller gun?

00:15:34.120 Well, I don't know,

00:15:34.780 maybe because a smaller gun,

00:15:36.020 when you fire it,

00:15:36.860 it was still kill me.

00:15:39.780 It became clear as this was going on

00:15:41.740 that the second amendment

00:15:42.660 is what he is trying to prosecute.

00:15:46.320 Our second amendment right,

00:15:47.780 our right to defend ourselves

00:15:49.020 is on trial.

00:15:49.960 much of his line of questioning

00:15:51.800 was about,

00:15:52.460 really about that.

00:15:55.360 Where Kyle Rittenhouse became,

00:15:56.980 he wasn't even testifying about himself.

00:15:58.480 He became a,

00:15:59.000 he was being treated

00:16:00.960 like a constitutional scholar,

00:16:03.400 a firearms expert.

00:16:07.520 Kyle Rittenhouse is a symbol.

00:16:09.640 This is not about him personally.

00:16:11.240 Certainly isn't about the,

00:16:12.060 the events of that night

00:16:13.280 or the facts of the case.

00:16:14.340 He's a stand-in

00:16:15.100 and he represents not only

00:16:16.260 the constitutional rights

00:16:17.140 that the left attests,

00:16:17.840 but also the kind of people

00:16:19.360 that the left detests.

00:16:21.160 Just like Derek Chauvin,

00:16:22.240 before him,

00:16:22.720 Rittenhouse is a blood sacrifice

00:16:24.380 meant to atone for the sins

00:16:25.960 of all white men.

00:16:27.380 His personal guilt or innocence

00:16:28.840 is not relevant.

00:16:31.740 Just as a goat sacrificed

00:16:33.640 on a burning altar

00:16:34.960 is not selected

00:16:36.080 due to its personal foibles,

00:16:37.620 it is burned as a symbol

00:16:38.940 and that's the role

00:16:39.840 that Kyle is playing here.

00:16:42.780 Second,

00:16:43.960 all that should matter

00:16:45.320 in a case

00:16:46.640 is that Kyle

00:16:48.300 is not guilty

00:16:48.940 of committing murder.

00:16:50.780 You know,

00:16:50.960 that should be the end of it.

00:16:52.360 That's all that matters legally.

00:16:54.080 Even if he was reckless

00:16:55.240 or stupid

00:16:55.900 or he shouldn't have been there,

00:16:57.740 quote unquote.

00:16:59.980 Even if he is a terrible person.

00:17:02.120 Even if he's the devil.

00:17:04.140 None of that matters

00:17:05.100 or should matter legally.

00:17:07.020 And yet,

00:17:07.840 I still think it's important

00:17:09.160 to point out

00:17:09.840 that Kyle Rittenhouse

00:17:11.860 is not a bad person

00:17:15.340 and I don't think

00:17:16.620 he's even stupid

00:17:17.340 or reckless.

00:17:18.520 And he's not,

00:17:19.220 he's more than merely innocent.

00:17:21.220 He's more than that.

00:17:22.000 I think he's a hero

00:17:22.920 in my estimation.

00:17:25.760 Yes,

00:17:25.980 he put himself

00:17:26.920 in harm's way

00:17:28.020 by showing up

00:17:29.140 to the riot.

00:17:30.320 But where I come from,

00:17:32.440 putting yourself

00:17:33.060 in harm's way

00:17:33.740 in order to defend

00:17:34.580 innocent people

00:17:35.320 and protect property

00:17:36.300 is heroic.

00:17:37.260 That's what heroes do.

00:17:39.800 That's like the definition

00:17:40.920 of a hero.

00:17:44.300 And yes,

00:17:44.960 to protect property too.

00:17:46.320 It tells you a lot

00:17:47.140 about,

00:17:47.900 you know,

00:17:48.200 a lot of people

00:17:49.440 on the left

00:17:49.900 that they,

00:17:51.680 and we get this

00:17:52.100 from the prosecutor

00:17:52.660 a lot too,

00:17:53.380 well,

00:17:53.800 you would use violent force

00:17:55.100 to protect property?

00:17:56.920 It's just property.

00:18:00.020 Well,

00:18:00.460 again,

00:18:00.620 he used the violent force

00:18:01.620 to protect human life,

00:18:02.820 his own life.

00:18:05.040 That's why he had the gun

00:18:06.460 was to protect

00:18:07.040 himself.

00:18:10.180 But,

00:18:10.620 but you know what,

00:18:11.480 you know something?

00:18:12.060 Yeah,

00:18:12.280 I mean,

00:18:12.520 using force

00:18:13.380 to protect property,

00:18:14.380 that is also

00:18:15.600 morally justified.

00:18:17.140 It's not only morally justified,

00:18:18.720 it's heroic.

00:18:21.540 What,

00:18:21.980 does the mob

00:18:22.540 have some kind of right?

00:18:23.680 Oh,

00:18:23.840 the mob,

00:18:24.220 all they want to do

00:18:24.660 is burn down buildings.

00:18:27.400 They have no right

00:18:28.240 to do that.

00:18:30.200 This,

00:18:30.540 this is people's property.

00:18:31.700 This is their livelihood,

00:18:32.880 their lives,

00:18:33.580 their businesses

00:18:34.060 that are being destroyed.

00:18:35.240 Yes,

00:18:38.660 you could,

00:18:39.060 I would use

00:18:40.880 lethal force

00:18:41.560 to protect,

00:18:42.140 if someone was trying

00:18:42.640 to burn down my home,

00:18:43.880 I would shoot them.

00:18:45.340 I would,

00:18:46.100 even if there was

00:18:46.620 nobody else inside.

00:18:48.540 Why?

00:18:49.180 Because it's my home.

00:18:50.280 It's my property.

00:18:52.100 And you have no right

00:18:53.260 to do what you're doing

00:18:53.980 right now.

00:18:55.520 And I can use force

00:18:56.760 to stop you,

00:18:57.360 and I would.

00:18:57.840 But even when faced

00:19:02.180 with a mortal threat

00:19:03.040 from a violent mob,

00:19:04.320 still,

00:19:04.760 Rittenhouse waited

00:19:05.400 until the very last

00:19:06.100 moment to fire.

00:19:07.560 He tried to preserve

00:19:08.780 the lives of a people

00:19:10.020 who wanted him dead

00:19:11.000 until they left him

00:19:13.440 no recourse.

00:19:15.180 I would call that courage,

00:19:16.580 not stupidity.

00:19:18.440 Though,

00:19:19.040 to cowards perhaps,

00:19:20.560 it's hard to tell

00:19:21.440 the difference

00:19:21.820 between the two.

00:19:23.380 Now let's get

00:19:23.960 to our five headlines.

00:19:24.620 You know,

00:19:31.880 I don't mean to scare you,

00:19:32.820 but these days,

00:19:33.760 there are surveillance

00:19:34.860 apps out there

00:19:35.800 known as Stalkerware,

00:19:37.180 and they can collect

00:19:37.940 information from you

00:19:38.800 while avoiding detection

00:19:40.020 by pretending to be

00:19:41.300 something else.

00:19:42.300 Stalkerware sits silently

00:19:43.140 in the background

00:19:43.680 collecting data,

00:19:44.400 doing things like

00:19:44.880 recording calls

00:19:45.680 and keystrokes,

00:19:46.440 stealing your photos,

00:19:47.520 sending the info it gathers

00:19:48.500 to whoever is spying on you.

00:19:50.460 Every day,

00:19:51.140 we put our information

00:19:52.020 at risk on the internet

00:19:53.700 in ways like this.

00:19:54.820 In an instant,

00:19:55.340 a cybercriminal

00:19:55.960 could steal what's yours,

00:19:57.380 sometimes even harm

00:19:58.180 your finances,

00:19:58.840 your credit,

00:19:59.260 your reputation.

00:20:00.400 They can really ruin

00:20:01.240 your life in a lot of ways,

00:20:02.420 and that's why it's so good

00:20:03.260 that there is LifeLock.

00:20:04.680 LifeLock helps detect

00:20:05.480 a wide range

00:20:06.300 of identity threats,

00:20:07.580 things that you wouldn't

00:20:08.880 know about

00:20:09.420 or even think about,

00:20:10.260 like if your social security

00:20:11.380 number is for sale

00:20:12.240 on the dark web.

00:20:13.640 If they detect

00:20:14.360 the information

00:20:14.860 has been compromised,

00:20:15.880 they will send you

00:20:16.420 an alert,

00:20:17.120 and they will help you

00:20:18.260 to fix the problem

00:20:19.760 and make it very easy

00:20:20.780 for you.

00:20:21.600 You don't want to use

00:20:22.320 the internet

00:20:22.620 without LifeLock.

00:20:23.700 Nobody can prevent

00:20:24.360 all identity theft

00:20:25.140 or monitor all transactions

00:20:26.200 at all businesses,

00:20:26.960 but you can help protect

00:20:38.240 All right,

00:20:38.760 so this is kind of exciting.

00:20:40.480 I just got the news yesterday

00:20:41.740 from my dentist

00:20:42.720 that I got to go,

00:20:43.580 I have to get

00:20:43.960 some root canals

00:20:45.080 next week.

00:20:45.900 So I got two root canals

00:20:46.980 I'm in line for.

00:20:48.900 It feels very adult.

00:20:50.820 You know,

00:20:50.920 I've heard so much

00:20:51.480 about the root canals.

00:20:52.800 You always compare,

00:20:53.780 oh, it's worse

00:20:54.260 than a root canal.

00:20:55.180 I've never even

00:20:55.720 had a cavity before.

00:20:57.520 And here's the thing,

00:20:58.520 when I do something,

00:20:59.960 I go all in.

00:21:00.920 I'm fully committed.

00:21:01.660 So if I'm going to have a cavity,

00:21:02.540 might as well get

00:21:02.920 a root canal type cavity.

00:21:04.160 And so that was my first reaction

00:21:07.140 is that this feels like a,

00:21:08.180 this feels like a new step

00:21:09.560 into adulthood

00:21:10.120 in some way.

00:21:12.260 And I guess I would be the guy.

00:21:15.680 I'm such a committed contrarian

00:21:17.220 that I would be the guy

00:21:18.580 to enjoy a root canal.

00:21:19.580 That would be my ultimate

00:21:20.340 contrarian take.

00:21:21.880 Actually,

00:21:22.320 root canals are good.

00:21:24.340 But then the problem is

00:21:25.240 I was talking to the dentist

00:21:25.980 and he told me that,

00:21:27.340 I don't know why he said this.

00:21:29.480 He shouldn't have said it.

00:21:31.000 But he said,

00:21:31.720 you know,

00:21:32.780 you could just do nothing

00:21:34.700 if you want.

00:21:35.680 That is an option.

00:21:36.980 Just don't do anything.

00:21:38.540 You could do that.

00:21:40.660 I said, really?

00:21:41.840 You're putting that on the table?

00:21:43.200 I got this situation.

00:21:44.180 I could just do nothing at all

00:21:45.360 and live my life?

00:21:47.460 Don't,

00:21:47.740 don't tell me that.

00:21:49.240 Like don't,

00:21:50.080 as a doctor,

00:21:50.860 that's the worst thing

00:21:51.540 you could say to me.

00:21:53.100 When I,

00:21:53.580 when I blew up my Achilles,

00:21:54.780 the doctor said the same thing.

00:21:55.740 He's like,

00:21:56.120 technically,

00:21:57.000 you know,

00:21:58.300 yeah,

00:21:58.600 I mean,

00:21:58.820 we have the surgery.

00:21:59.620 It's a big surgery.

00:22:00.960 Technically,

00:22:01.280 you could do nothing.

00:22:02.180 We have to tell you

00:22:02.740 that's an option.

00:22:03.660 And I seriously considered it.

00:22:04.980 And I'll tell you why,

00:22:05.660 because there's this combination for me.

00:22:07.340 I,

00:22:07.560 I,

00:22:07.860 I hate doctors.

00:22:09.180 I mean,

00:22:09.580 I hate going to doctors.

00:22:10.540 I mean,

00:22:10.760 not,

00:22:11.120 not anything against doctors personally.

00:22:12.260 I don't like going to the doctor.

00:22:13.780 I'm also very lazy.

00:22:15.160 And then,

00:22:15.700 and then I,

00:22:16.140 and then I have this,

00:22:16.780 this,

00:22:17.080 this,

00:22:17.400 this gross overestimation

00:22:19.080 of my own pain tolerance.

00:22:20.300 And so all of those things

00:22:21.340 combined to,

00:22:22.420 if you give me an excuse,

00:22:23.840 I'll just,

00:22:24.400 yeah,

00:22:24.480 I'll just live with it

00:22:25.220 until my teeth fall out.

00:22:26.120 If you give,

00:22:26.580 if you put that on the table.

00:22:30.220 So now that's just something

00:22:31.400 I have to balance,

00:22:32.020 I suppose.

00:22:32.760 All right.

00:22:34.200 But my wife does have a,

00:22:35.420 she,

00:22:35.580 she has a pretty firm opinion on it,

00:22:37.040 which is,

00:22:37.560 I don't want your teeth to fall out.

00:22:38.920 Okay.

00:22:39.580 We'll start with this

00:22:40.300 from the daily wire.

00:22:41.540 This says a biography of George Floyd

00:22:43.740 will be published on March 17th.

00:22:46.400 So look forward to that.

00:22:47.260 Put that,

00:22:47.500 put that on your calendar

00:22:48.500 to go out and run out

00:22:50.080 and pick the,

00:22:50.460 the George Floyd biography up.

00:22:52.580 And it appears to whitewash

00:22:54.040 his life story

00:22:54.740 to highlight his constant

00:22:55.760 search of a better life

00:22:57.140 and his relentless struggle

00:22:58.420 to survive as a black man

00:22:59.940 in America.

00:23:01.640 In a press relief release,

00:23:03.520 Viking Press,

00:23:05.000 a publishing company

00:23:05.640 owned by Penguin Random House,

00:23:07.140 announced the biography,

00:23:08.140 which was written

00:23:08.720 by Robert Samuels

00:23:09.980 and Toulouse Olu Runapa,

00:23:13.560 two prize-winning

00:23:14.240 Washington Post reporters.

00:23:15.060 The book is designed

00:23:15.640 to reveal how systemic racism

00:23:17.180 shaped George Floyd's

00:23:18.340 life and legacy

00:23:19.040 from his family's roots

00:23:20.560 in the tobacco fields

00:23:21.460 of North Carolina

00:23:22.100 to ongoing inequality

00:23:23.700 in housing,

00:23:24.340 education,

00:23:24.880 healthcare,

00:23:25.440 criminal justice,

00:23:26.020 and policing,

00:23:26.780 telling the singular story

00:23:27.940 of how one man's

00:23:28.820 tragic experience

00:23:29.680 brought about

00:23:30.500 a global movement

00:23:31.560 of change.

00:23:32.700 And so now this is

00:23:33.280 when we're going to get

00:23:34.460 the whole hagiography

00:23:36.260 of George Floyd.

00:23:38.480 I mean,

00:23:38.640 this is,

00:23:39.120 this is an important point.

00:23:41.740 I mean,

00:23:41.920 this is an important step

00:23:42.880 when you're,

00:23:43.340 when you're building

00:23:43.820 this myth.

00:23:44.640 Because so far,

00:23:46.020 with the mythology

00:23:47.620 of George Floyd,

00:23:49.640 St. George Floyd,

00:23:51.200 they have the martyr story,

00:23:53.460 which is mostly false.

00:23:55.360 But the whole rest

00:23:57.500 of his life,

00:23:58.000 they've kind of ignored.

00:24:00.180 And so now,

00:24:01.080 finally,

00:24:01.540 these Washington Post reporters

00:24:02.620 who,

00:24:03.540 as Washington Post reporters,

00:24:04.960 are,

00:24:05.440 we know that they are

00:24:06.180 very experienced

00:24:07.420 fiction writers.

00:24:08.640 And so now they're going

00:24:09.740 to write this work

00:24:10.920 of fiction.

00:24:11.820 And they've got their work,

00:24:12.760 they've got their work

00:24:13.560 cut out for them

00:24:14.300 in some ways.

00:24:16.140 How are you going

00:24:17.060 to take this man

00:24:18.220 who was a terrible person,

00:24:21.100 terrible,

00:24:21.480 and contributed

00:24:23.000 nothing of value

00:24:24.160 to society whatsoever?

00:24:26.620 And rather than,

00:24:27.440 in fact,

00:24:27.600 rather than contributing

00:24:28.460 things of value

00:24:29.400 to his community,

00:24:30.320 he preyed upon

00:24:31.560 the most helpless

00:24:32.760 and vulnerable people

00:24:33.980 in his community.

00:24:34.940 How are you going

00:24:35.540 to take that

00:24:36.060 and somehow morph it

00:24:37.020 into a hero's journey?

00:24:40.340 So I almost

00:24:41.560 would want to read the book

00:24:43.280 just out of curiosity

00:24:44.200 to see how they do it.

00:24:46.600 I mean,

00:24:46.760 I'm not going to do that

00:24:47.560 because I value my time

00:24:48.380 too much

00:24:48.700 and I wouldn't,

00:24:49.100 I wouldn't spend

00:24:49.580 the money on it.

00:24:50.080 But,

00:24:50.260 yeah,

00:24:52.580 a struggle to survive

00:24:53.720 as a black man

00:24:54.640 in America.

00:24:55.180 This is about a,

00:24:55.620 so is that,

00:24:57.320 searching for a better life.

00:25:00.100 Is that the chat,

00:25:01.020 when we get to the

00:25:01.640 searching for a better life,

00:25:02.820 you know,

00:25:03.040 part two,

00:25:03.640 searching for a better life.

00:25:05.320 Is that the part

00:25:06.240 where he forces his way

00:25:07.720 into a woman's home

00:25:08.480 and robs her at gunpoint

00:25:09.440 in front of her kid?

00:25:10.720 He was just searching

00:25:11.600 for a better life.

00:25:12.980 Don't mind me, ma'am.

00:25:13.920 I'm just searching

00:25:14.400 for a better life.

00:25:15.940 Now hand me over

00:25:16.740 all your money.

00:25:20.260 But,

00:25:20.980 you know,

00:25:21.120 it's true

00:25:21.980 in a way

00:25:23.560 that in

00:25:25.880 some of,

00:25:28.040 in these communities

00:25:28.900 and cities,

00:25:30.040 as a black man,

00:25:32.800 or really,

00:25:34.220 if you live in these

00:25:34.780 communities at all,

00:25:35.500 it doesn't matter your race,

00:25:36.220 there is a struggle

00:25:37.780 to survive.

00:25:38.640 That's true.

00:25:39.560 These can be dangerous places.

00:25:42.140 But it's a struggle

00:25:43.160 to survive

00:25:43.980 because of

00:25:46.220 guys like George Floyd.

00:25:47.400 they're the ones

00:25:49.140 who create that struggle.

00:25:51.560 I mean,

00:25:51.860 they're the ones

00:25:52.420 you're worried about.

00:25:54.600 Despite what,

00:25:55.040 no matter what anybody says,

00:25:57.900 no matter what they claim

00:25:58.620 about how they're,

00:25:59.480 we,

00:25:59.940 we,

00:26:00.280 we fear that,

00:26:01.800 we fear the police.

00:26:02.640 No,

00:26:02.880 I mean,

00:26:03.120 if you are a woman

00:26:04.160 living in,

00:26:06.540 living in the inner city,

00:26:08.400 you're not worried

00:26:09.080 about the police.

00:26:10.860 You're worried about

00:26:11.820 George Floyd

00:26:12.580 breaking into your house.

00:26:14.400 All right.

00:26:19.700 So I'm not usually

00:26:20.600 one to talk about

00:26:21.540 news from the fashion world,

00:26:22.900 but there was a point

00:26:24.320 I wanted to make about this.

00:26:25.180 I thought it was

00:26:25.480 somewhat interesting.

00:26:26.260 This is from MSN.

00:26:27.760 It says,

00:26:28.120 Tom Ford says

00:26:29.320 cancel culture

00:26:30.060 inhibits design.

00:26:31.340 The 60-year-old

00:26:32.100 fashion muse

00:26:32.880 behind the iconic label

00:26:34.480 says the fact

00:26:36.780 everything is now

00:26:37.780 considered appropriation

00:26:39.020 is limiting fashion.

00:26:41.160 Speaking to the Guardian,

00:26:42.140 Ford said,

00:26:43.000 cancel culture

00:26:43.500 inhibits design

00:26:44.440 because rather than

00:26:45.240 feeling free,

00:26:45.940 the tendency is to start

00:26:46.880 locked into a set of rules.

00:26:49.320 Everything is now

00:26:49.820 considered appropriation.

00:26:51.240 We used to be able

00:26:51.940 to celebrate other cultures

00:26:53.140 and now we can't do that.

00:26:55.640 He says,

00:26:56.060 the future of fashion

00:26:56.780 is increasingly cartoonish.

00:26:58.400 Instagram has broken down

00:26:59.520 the rules people dress up

00:27:00.520 to take pictures of themselves

00:27:01.720 to post online.

00:27:02.640 Everything is exaggerated,

00:27:03.780 especially the eyebrows.

00:27:05.360 So it's,

00:27:06.020 it says this is the future

00:27:07.080 of fashion.

00:27:08.280 It's very cartoonish.

00:27:09.480 And I mean,

00:27:10.640 just not as a fashion expert myself,

00:27:12.220 but just by observation,

00:27:13.840 he would seem to be right

00:27:14.460 about that.

00:27:15.860 But also,

00:27:17.700 it's,

00:27:18.040 it's,

00:27:18.660 it's impossible now

00:27:19.840 because of these rules

00:27:20.920 of appropriation.

00:27:23.040 And this is the nature

00:27:24.440 of

00:27:25.160 style.

00:27:27.380 You know,

00:27:27.660 it is,

00:27:28.120 it's,

00:27:28.600 it's something

00:27:30.860 that's,

00:27:31.380 it's always a fusion.

00:27:32.640 There's always different influences

00:27:33.920 that you're bringing together,

00:27:34.820 right?

00:27:36.500 And now we're drawing

00:27:37.620 these lines and saying,

00:27:38.720 well,

00:27:39.320 no,

00:27:39.620 if you're,

00:27:40.060 if you're a white person,

00:27:42.200 you're not,

00:27:42.440 you're not allowed to wear anything

00:27:43.500 that has any kind of influence

00:27:45.560 from the outside world,

00:27:47.460 which means that basically

00:27:49.380 you got to walk around naked,

00:27:50.680 which is great news

00:27:51.680 if you're,

00:27:52.280 you know,

00:27:52.840 Jeffrey Toobin.

00:27:53.820 But for most of us,

00:27:54.900 it's not so good

00:27:55.600 because no matter what you're wearing,

00:27:58.180 no matter what you're eating,

00:27:59.520 no matter what music

00:28:00.680 you're listening to,

00:28:02.260 it is always going to be

00:28:05.160 the result of at least

00:28:06.280 some kind of fusion,

00:28:07.460 some kind of outside influence

00:28:08.940 because these things are,

00:28:10.460 are human inventions,

00:28:14.160 human constructions.

00:28:18.040 Whether we're talking about,

00:28:19.260 you know,

00:28:20.660 the culinary world

00:28:21.640 or fashion or music,

00:28:22.640 I mean,

00:28:22.760 these are art

00:28:23.440 and people

00:28:26.220 are influenced

00:28:28.780 by,

00:28:29.120 by the world around them.

00:28:31.760 Now,

00:28:32.200 I was reading an article recently

00:28:34.140 and I almost did it

00:28:34.780 for a daily cancellation,

00:28:35.720 but then I figured

00:28:36.200 it's just,

00:28:36.640 there's,

00:28:36.800 there's really no point.

00:28:37.760 What else can I say about this

00:28:38.660 other than how stupid it is?

00:28:40.540 But,

00:28:40.820 one of these media outlets,

00:28:43.460 they were very concerned

00:28:44.560 about appropriation

00:28:47.200 that parents are committing

00:28:48.840 in,

00:28:50.680 in how they wear their babies.

00:28:53.360 You know,

00:28:53.900 baby wearing

00:28:54.520 is a,

00:28:55.680 is a thing

00:28:56.440 where if you,

00:28:57.120 you know,

00:28:57.300 you could,

00:28:58.180 one of those backpacks

00:28:59.340 or you,

00:28:59.940 there's,

00:29:00.360 there's different things

00:29:01.400 that parents can do.

00:29:02.540 Makes it a lot easier

00:29:03.340 because it frees up

00:29:03.980 your hands.

00:29:04.980 You can strap the baby,

00:29:06.160 you know,

00:29:06.500 onto your chest

00:29:07.540 or onto your back

00:29:08.300 and,

00:29:09.160 and go about your day

00:29:10.580 and you might think

00:29:11.480 that the only thing

00:29:14.000 to worry about there

00:29:14.820 when you're wearing

00:29:15.620 the baby

00:29:15.960 is just to make sure

00:29:16.700 it's safe

00:29:17.080 and you got everything

00:29:17.520 strapped together

00:29:18.080 so that the baby

00:29:18.600 doesn't fall.

00:29:19.780 But apparently,

00:29:20.680 no,

00:29:20.920 this is a very,

00:29:21.660 this is a very fraught area

00:29:23.100 because there's a lot

00:29:24.040 of cultural appropriation.

00:29:26.180 And so this article

00:29:26.800 was concerned

00:29:27.540 with letting parents know

00:29:28.240 if you're a white parent,

00:29:29.300 make sure

00:29:30.300 that you're not appropriating,

00:29:31.520 you're not accidentally

00:29:32.380 being racist

00:29:33.160 in how you choose

00:29:34.000 to wear babies.

00:29:36.500 That's how absurd it's gotten.

00:29:37.320 But there's also

00:29:37.680 another point too

00:29:38.300 that,

00:29:38.640 you know,

00:29:41.120 he's talking about

00:29:41.700 the style world.

00:29:42.300 I don't know much

00:29:42.660 about that.

00:29:44.360 But what you find

00:29:45.060 in general

00:29:45.580 is that cancel culture

00:29:47.020 makes everything boring.

00:29:50.940 I guess it does that

00:29:51.860 with style.

00:29:52.500 It also just does that

00:29:53.440 with opinions,

00:29:54.920 with discussion.

00:29:57.680 That's one of the,

00:29:58.380 I think,

00:29:58.880 underrated aspects

00:30:00.560 and consequences

00:30:01.760 of cancel culture.

00:30:04.440 Yes,

00:30:04.920 it's very tyrannical.

00:30:05.980 It's very limiting.

00:30:06.820 People are afraid.

00:30:07.780 But also,

00:30:08.520 in the midst

00:30:09.500 of all of that,

00:30:10.940 as people are trembling

00:30:11.920 in fear

00:30:12.540 and not wanting

00:30:13.220 to say anything

00:30:13.800 that will upset anybody,

00:30:15.040 everything just becomes

00:30:15.940 so boring.

00:30:16.540 All discussions

00:30:17.380 become so,

00:30:18.160 so aggressively,

00:30:20.880 relentlessly boring.

00:30:22.620 And why is that?

00:30:23.560 Because people are afraid

00:30:24.680 to experiment

00:30:26.040 with ideas.

00:30:29.120 To use the cliche,

00:30:30.260 they're afraid

00:30:30.780 to kind of think

00:30:31.780 outside the box.

00:30:34.800 Because that's,

00:30:35.680 in the past,

00:30:36.680 that's actually how,

00:30:37.700 that's part of the process

00:30:38.800 of figuring out

00:30:40.140 how you feel about things

00:30:41.220 and what your ideas are.

00:30:43.620 Sometimes in order

00:30:44.540 to do that,

00:30:45.080 it involves you

00:30:46.140 first expressing an idea

00:30:47.800 that maybe you're not

00:30:48.380 100% sure about.

00:30:50.560 And you say,

00:30:51.300 hey,

00:30:51.420 I was just thinking this,

00:30:52.160 here's my opinion on this,

00:30:52.980 I'm not exactly sure,

00:30:53.920 but here's a thought

00:30:54.600 that I had.

00:30:55.220 And then you have

00:30:57.040 a discussion

00:30:57.480 and through that discussion

00:30:58.480 you start to

00:30:59.440 kind of hone it

00:31:01.280 a little bit

00:31:01.860 and mold it

00:31:03.200 and shape it.

00:31:04.780 But you can't do that anymore.

00:31:07.360 You can't go out there

00:31:08.380 with an outside-of-the-box thought

00:31:09.740 where you're kind of

00:31:10.240 experimenting with ideas.

00:31:12.020 Everybody is looking

00:31:13.040 for cover in a crowd.

00:31:16.200 That's one of the reasons

00:31:17.200 why people stay

00:31:17.960 in their echo chambers.

00:31:19.900 It's especially why people

00:31:21.200 who have a platform

00:31:22.800 and speak in front of cameras,

00:31:25.260 why they try to stay

00:31:26.380 in their echo chamber

00:31:27.220 because there's

00:31:28.760 protection there.

00:31:30.520 You can hide behind

00:31:31.140 other people.

00:31:35.160 And you find this

00:31:35.880 on the right too.

00:31:36.480 It's not just on the left.

00:31:37.880 There's a lot of this

00:31:38.660 that goes on on the right.

00:31:40.720 In fact,

00:31:41.180 you can notice this.

00:31:42.200 I'm very sensitive to it.

00:31:43.320 I don't know how much you,

00:31:43.920 because I'm in this world,

00:31:45.000 but I'm not sure

00:31:45.920 how obvious it is

00:31:47.080 to people outside

00:31:47.880 of this business.

00:31:49.660 But I notice,

00:31:50.900 you know,

00:31:51.120 like conservative commentators,

00:31:52.780 something happens.

00:31:54.300 There's a new event,

00:31:56.200 say like the Kyle Rittenhouse case

00:31:58.440 or something,

00:31:59.140 and you've got a lot of

00:32:00.540 conservatives who will,

00:32:01.700 they kind of wait.

00:32:03.620 They don't want to say

00:32:04.460 anything at first.

00:32:05.160 They have an opinion.

00:32:05.880 They have a perspective.

00:32:07.080 They don't say anything.

00:32:08.000 They kind of,

00:32:08.620 they wait for someone

00:32:09.540 to be the first one

00:32:10.660 to say something,

00:32:12.120 express an opinion,

00:32:12.980 and then a few others say it,

00:32:14.160 and then they jump in

00:32:15.340 and say,

00:32:15.980 okay,

00:32:16.180 well,

00:32:16.380 I can have that opinion now.

00:32:17.880 Because at least

00:32:18.600 if they come after me,

00:32:19.460 I've got some company.

00:32:22.380 And it just makes

00:32:23.360 everything very boring.

00:32:24.500 All discussions,

00:32:25.420 everything,

00:32:25.980 you know,

00:32:26.220 there's,

00:32:26.780 no matter what side you're on,

00:32:28.540 you have your approved opinions

00:32:30.280 that you know you can say

00:32:31.860 and it's safe

00:32:32.440 because everybody says that.

00:32:36.240 And that's where everybody,

00:32:37.360 that's the zone

00:32:38.200 everybody lives in

00:32:38.920 and it becomes very boring.

00:32:40.380 All right,

00:32:40.700 this is from the New York Post.

00:32:41.460 It says,

00:32:41.640 two couples spent months

00:32:42.840 raising baby girls

00:32:44.020 who weren't theirs

00:32:44.980 after a mix-up

00:32:45.920 at a Los Angeles

00:32:46.680 fertility clinic

00:32:47.600 which implanted the mothers

00:32:49.320 with each other's embryos

00:32:50.920 during in vitro fertilization

00:32:52.320 according to a lawsuit.

00:32:54.700 Daphna Cardinale

00:32:55.940 said that she and her husband,

00:32:57.320 Alexander,

00:32:57.800 quickly suspected

00:32:58.500 that the girl

00:32:59.000 she gave birth to

00:33:00.260 in late 2019

00:33:01.560 wasn't theirs

00:33:02.440 because she had

00:33:02.900 a darker complexion

00:33:03.860 than they do.

00:33:05.500 Alexander said

00:33:06.140 during a news conference,

00:33:07.320 I had a weird sort of

00:33:08.020 a gut reaction

00:33:08.660 when she was born.

00:33:09.320 It wasn't anything logical.

00:33:10.380 It was just like an instinct.

00:33:12.020 In the delivery room,

00:33:12.940 he had expected

00:33:13.420 a fair child

00:33:14.220 like their firstborn

00:33:15.100 but he was surprised

00:33:16.200 to see the baby girl

00:33:16.860 come out with much

00:33:17.540 darker skin.

00:33:19.060 It was so jarring

00:33:19.820 that Alexander

00:33:20.620 actually took several steps

00:33:23.060 away from the birthing table

00:33:24.380 backing up against the wall.

00:33:27.800 I guess this isn't funny

00:33:29.920 but I'm trying hard

00:33:31.180 not to laugh

00:33:32.880 at this situation.

00:33:33.920 But the parents

00:33:34.440 ignored their doubts

00:33:35.180 because they fell in love

00:33:36.000 with the infant

00:33:36.420 and trusted their doctors.

00:33:37.620 I was overwhelmed

00:33:38.320 by feelings of fear,

00:33:39.340 betrayal, anger,

00:33:40.100 and heartbreak

00:33:40.660 the distraught woman said

00:33:41.500 adding that she suffered trauma

00:33:42.860 when she found out

00:33:43.480 months later

00:33:43.980 that she had carried

00:33:45.000 another woman's baby

00:33:45.840 and that the other woman

00:33:47.200 had her child.

00:33:48.820 And now this is working

00:33:49.800 its way through

00:33:50.760 the court system.

00:33:52.880 You know,

00:33:53.040 there of course

00:33:53.460 the fertility clinic

00:33:55.020 is going to be sued

00:33:56.540 out of existence

00:33:57.240 and you know,

00:33:58.260 rightfully so.

00:33:58.920 This is a pretty

00:33:59.600 when it comes to

00:34:01.380 customer service mistakes

00:34:03.160 implanting the wrong baby

00:34:05.760 in a woman's uterus

00:34:06.520 pretty high up there.

00:34:08.480 You know,

00:34:08.600 it's a little bit worse

00:34:09.560 than delivering

00:34:10.420 a pizza later

00:34:11.020 or something.

00:34:12.140 But it does

00:34:12.920 maybe raise

00:34:14.580 some questions

00:34:15.300 about

00:34:17.480 IVF

00:34:20.360 as a concept.

00:34:23.220 When you have

00:34:24.320 a procedure

00:34:25.040 where this can

00:34:25.740 even happen,

00:34:27.640 this is something

00:34:28.520 through modern technology

00:34:29.580 we've created,

00:34:30.280 this is a risk

00:34:31.180 that never could have

00:34:32.860 happened before

00:34:33.600 in human history.

00:34:34.460 There was no chance.

00:34:35.800 Now,

00:34:36.620 for thousands of years

00:34:38.680 of human history,

00:34:39.500 right,

00:34:40.300 there was a chance

00:34:41.360 this is something

00:34:42.200 that fathers might have

00:34:43.240 had to worry about

00:34:43.920 that the baby

00:34:44.620 that's in the womb

00:34:45.860 is not theirs.

00:34:47.480 But you never had

00:34:48.620 a mother who had

00:34:49.460 to worry that the baby

00:34:50.260 wasn't hers.

00:34:52.060 Now,

00:34:52.480 because of IVF,

00:34:54.020 this is obviously

00:34:54.840 doesn't happen very often

00:34:55.980 we would hope.

00:34:57.920 But it's kind of,

00:34:58.880 it's a possibility

00:34:59.960 that we have created.

00:35:01.480 And it's a possibility

00:35:04.360 we've created

00:35:05.000 because that's what

00:35:06.160 happens when you move

00:35:07.280 the very human act

00:35:09.720 of conception

00:35:10.380 out of

00:35:12.740 its natural confines

00:35:14.740 and you do it

00:35:16.200 in a petri dish.

00:35:21.860 Maybe that's kind of

00:35:22.780 a red flag

00:35:23.300 about this sort of procedure.

00:35:27.600 And,

00:35:28.260 because what we're

00:35:29.400 actually doing

00:35:30.120 and the reason why

00:35:31.620 I don't like IVF,

00:35:32.900 why I'm not a fan of it,

00:35:34.460 is because,

00:35:35.500 not just I'm not a fan of it,

00:35:36.480 I object to it

00:35:37.500 on moral grounds

00:35:38.500 because it's

00:35:40.240 the commodification

00:35:41.540 of human life.

00:35:44.300 You're quite literally

00:35:45.500 treating human life

00:35:46.660 like a commodity

00:35:47.540 in the most literal sense.

00:35:51.600 And you have,

00:35:52.440 you know,

00:35:52.700 you have a bunch

00:35:53.720 of embryos

00:35:54.560 and then

00:35:56.040 what happens,

00:35:57.680 maybe this mix-up

00:35:58.580 kind of thing,

00:35:59.700 this Freaky Friday

00:36:00.440 mix-up thing

00:36:01.120 doesn't happen very often,

00:36:02.220 but what does happen

00:36:03.020 all the time

00:36:03.620 is that you've got

00:36:04.680 a bunch of embryos

00:36:06.240 and then you have

00:36:07.200 leftover embryos

00:36:08.340 that get stored

00:36:09.500 in a freezer

00:36:10.160 like,

00:36:10.980 you know,

00:36:11.540 like ground beef

00:36:12.560 that you're not going

00:36:13.060 to have time to cook up

00:36:13.880 and it just stays there

00:36:15.800 for a while

00:36:16.200 and then eventually

00:36:16.940 if they're never used,

00:36:18.420 okay,

00:36:18.860 and think about

00:36:19.420 the language here.

00:36:20.760 The embryos

00:36:21.600 are never used,

00:36:23.080 then they'll be destroyed.

00:36:24.800 so

00:36:26.480 this is

00:36:28.660 the reduction

00:36:29.420 of human life

00:36:30.120 down to a commodity

00:36:31.220 being treated

00:36:32.760 very much like

00:36:33.420 an object

00:36:34.180 where we talk about,

00:36:36.800 you know,

00:36:37.020 you could have

00:36:37.380 a surplus of it

00:36:38.460 and what do you do

00:36:38.860 with the surplus?

00:36:39.540 You just destroy them.

00:36:43.700 It's hard

00:36:44.740 and I admit this,

00:36:47.100 if you come at,

00:36:48.600 if you

00:36:48.940 approach life

00:36:51.160 from a materialist

00:36:52.140 perspective

00:36:52.740 and all you see,

00:36:55.280 when you look at

00:36:55.860 human beings,

00:36:56.280 all you see

00:36:56.960 is material.

00:36:58.100 You think that's

00:36:58.940 all we are.

00:37:01.060 In fact,

00:37:01.640 all we are,

00:37:02.800 all you are

00:37:03.900 is an object.

00:37:04.860 If that's how you see it,

00:37:05.920 then,

00:37:06.920 yeah,

00:37:07.240 from that starting point,

00:37:08.920 it's going to be hard

00:37:09.540 for me to convince you

00:37:10.560 that something like IVF

00:37:11.960 might be morally problematic.

00:37:14.580 But if you see life

00:37:15.680 as more than that,

00:37:16.280 if you're not a materialist,

00:37:17.840 then I think there's

00:37:19.700 a reason to be skeptical

00:37:20.520 of anything

00:37:21.140 that reduces life

00:37:22.260 down to mere material.

00:37:25.160 All right,

00:37:25.680 next,

00:37:25.980 this is from TechCrunch.

00:37:27.160 I think this is good news.

00:37:28.000 I'm very,

00:37:28.380 very happy about this.

00:37:30.000 It says,

00:37:30.400 YouTube today announced

00:37:31.300 its decision

00:37:31.940 to make the dislike

00:37:33.620 count on videos

00:37:34.660 private across its platform.

00:37:36.920 The decision is likely

00:37:37.980 to be controversial

00:37:38.700 given the extent

00:37:39.440 that it impacts

00:37:40.080 the public's visibility

00:37:41.460 into a video's reception.

00:37:42.540 So if you're watching this

00:37:43.060 on YouTube right now,

00:37:44.180 if this is correct,

00:37:44.980 then you should not

00:37:45.540 be able to see

00:37:46.340 how many people

00:37:47.380 disapprove of my show.

00:37:49.140 The bit,

00:37:49.480 what I just talked about

00:37:50.240 with IVF,

00:37:50.740 there's going to be

00:37:51.080 a lot of people

00:37:51.540 that don't agree

00:37:52.300 either even on my side

00:37:53.860 and now guess what?

00:37:55.700 You're not going to know

00:37:56.580 how many disagree with it

00:37:57.600 and I personally

00:37:59.900 am a fan of that.

00:38:02.300 It says,

00:38:02.660 but YouTube believes

00:38:03.360 the change will be,

00:38:04.240 will better protect

00:38:05.160 its creators

00:38:05.660 from harassment

00:38:06.400 and reduce the threat

00:38:07.760 of what it calls

00:38:08.540 dislike attacks.

00:38:10.480 Essentially,

00:38:10.840 when a group teams up

00:38:11.880 to drive up the numbers

00:38:12.880 of dislikes

00:38:13.580 a video receives.

00:38:15.020 The company says

00:38:15.900 that while dislike

00:38:16.940 counts won't be

00:38:17.820 visible to the public,

00:38:19.400 it's not removing

00:38:20.140 the dislike button

00:38:21.040 so you can still dislike

00:38:21.960 but nobody will see

00:38:23.780 that you disliked it

00:38:24.560 and then we

00:38:25.520 as YouTube creators

00:38:26.400 will have to go

00:38:27.220 back into our

00:38:28.080 YouTube studio

00:38:28.940 dashboard

00:38:30.500 and we can look up

00:38:31.680 that information

00:38:32.320 if we want to

00:38:33.000 but I won't look it up

00:38:34.160 because I don't want to know.

00:38:36.380 It's better not to know.

00:38:38.240 So your dislike,

00:38:39.220 it will be sent off

00:38:40.080 into the void.

00:38:40.740 The dislike itself

00:38:43.380 will be stored

00:38:43.980 basically in a

00:38:44.940 cyber freezer

00:38:45.680 and I will never go,

00:38:46.900 it'll just stay there,

00:38:47.660 I'll never look at it,

00:38:48.420 I will never know.

00:38:51.780 And you know,

00:38:52.520 there are some people

00:38:53.060 saying that this is

00:38:53.700 kind of absurd

00:38:54.340 but you know,

00:38:56.100 and you might hear

00:38:56.880 a phrase like

00:38:57.520 dislike attack

00:38:58.700 or when a thumbs down

00:39:01.500 is equated to harassment,

00:39:03.100 you might think

00:39:03.540 that sounds pretty

00:39:04.480 absurd and silly

00:39:05.280 but you know,

00:39:06.240 it's easy for you to say

00:39:07.560 if you're not

00:39:08.380 a YouTube creator.

00:39:09.180 As someone who is

00:39:10.060 on this platform

00:39:10.980 every single day,

00:39:12.760 you just have no idea

00:39:14.280 what kind of emotional

00:39:16.420 and psychological toll

00:39:17.380 it takes on a person

00:39:18.220 to see all those

00:39:19.060 thumbs down.

00:39:21.260 I cry every day

00:39:23.860 when I check my videos,

00:39:26.180 if I see even one,

00:39:27.240 I shed a tear

00:39:27.920 for every thumbs down

00:39:29.180 I get.

00:39:30.420 It is deeply traumatic

00:39:31.940 and so I want to thank YouTube

00:39:33.860 for finally standing up

00:39:35.080 for us

00:39:35.460 and for our feelings.

00:39:37.500 Now let's

00:39:38.460 dive into the comment section.

00:39:40.060 Do you know their name?

00:39:43.940 They're the sweet baby gang.

00:39:48.220 As you know,

00:39:48.880 people always tell me

00:39:49.800 that one of the things

00:39:50.760 I really love about this show

00:39:52.340 is the passion

00:39:52.940 that I bring

00:39:53.480 to the subjects

00:39:54.620 that I talk about

00:39:55.440 especially when we're talking

00:39:57.360 about mortgage refinancing

00:39:59.380 and that's what

00:40:00.700 we're going to talk about

00:40:01.240 right now.

00:40:01.760 American Financing,

00:40:02.720 America's home

00:40:03.400 for home loans.

00:40:04.520 New sponsor on the show

00:40:05.460 we're very excited about.

00:40:06.280 The home you're living in

00:40:07.140 right now

00:40:07.520 can cost you less.

00:40:08.720 It's true.

00:40:09.420 You can lower your payment

00:40:10.380 and save thousands

00:40:11.420 long term.

00:40:12.300 You just have to refinance

00:40:13.240 to one of these

00:40:13.660 incredibly low mortgage rates

00:40:15.040 and do it now

00:40:15.960 before they're gone.

00:40:17.180 They're expected to rise

00:40:18.180 in the new year.

00:40:18.800 You cannot afford

00:40:19.560 to miss out on this deal.

00:40:20.720 It takes just a 10 minute call

00:40:22.040 to American Financing,

00:40:23.540 America's home

00:40:24.300 for home loans.

00:40:25.340 For me,

00:40:25.660 the call takes longer

00:40:26.540 because I spend a lot of time

00:40:27.480 gabbing about the subject

00:40:28.340 but if you want to be in and out

00:40:29.380 you can.

00:40:29.960 You'll work with a salary-based

00:40:31.520 mortgage consultant,

00:40:32.360 someone who will guide you

00:40:33.300 through custom loan options

00:40:34.580 that can save you up

00:40:35.840 to $1,000 a month.

00:40:37.340 That's right,

00:40:37.660 $1,000 a month

00:40:38.820 and you don't have to reset

00:40:39.620 your loan to get those

00:40:40.760 kinds of savings.

00:40:41.360 You can choose any term

00:40:42.280 10 years and over

00:40:43.420 because you shouldn't pay

00:40:44.380 interest for years

00:40:45.240 that you don't need.

00:40:53.520 All right.

00:40:54.640 Jennifer says,

00:40:55.620 Matt,

00:40:55.840 you're smart enough

00:40:56.480 to know the Derek Chauvin case

00:40:58.320 was the end of our justice system.

00:41:00.200 Now let's see if you're brave

00:41:01.440 enough to admit it.

00:41:02.940 Well,

00:41:03.400 I think the Derek Chauvin case

00:41:04.780 was a blow to our justice system

00:41:06.800 and I,

00:41:10.040 as you know,

00:41:10.740 believe that Derek Chauvin

00:41:11.740 should have been acquitted

00:41:12.500 but,

00:41:14.220 you know,

00:41:15.980 I think you're really

00:41:17.400 underestimating

00:41:18.240 and understating

00:41:18.960 what's happening

00:41:20.040 with the Kyle Rittenhouse case

00:41:21.140 by looking at this

00:41:22.500 as a one-to-one comparison.

00:41:23.700 I mean,

00:41:23.780 what's happening

00:41:24.140 with Kyle Rittenhouse

00:41:24.860 and he hasn't been convicted yet

00:41:26.680 and we're praying

00:41:27.360 that he's not

00:41:27.860 but if he is convicted,

00:41:31.080 it would be

00:41:31.660 even more egregious.

00:41:34.300 I mean,

00:41:34.500 for example,

00:41:34.960 in the Derek Chauvin case,

00:41:36.160 you didn't have any scenes

00:41:37.580 like what we just played

00:41:38.940 where the judge says

00:41:40.660 that there's a grave

00:41:41.660 constitutional violation

00:41:42.920 happening right now

00:41:44.320 in this case.

00:41:47.740 So,

00:41:48.380 in terms of how egregious

00:41:50.600 and blatant

00:41:51.020 and out in the open it is,

00:41:52.620 I don't think we've ever seen

00:41:54.100 anything quite like

00:41:54.920 the Kyle Rittenhouse case.

00:41:55.760 So,

00:41:57.540 I think this would be

00:41:58.440 kind of the nail

00:41:58.980 in the coffin

00:41:59.340 in my opinion.

00:42:03.280 Carla says,

00:42:04.540 talking about the video

00:42:05.420 yesterday we played

00:42:06.000 of the boy

00:42:06.440 in the dress

00:42:07.020 with the abusive mother,

00:42:08.360 it's clear that the boy

00:42:09.180 in the opening video

00:42:10.220 has been coached

00:42:11.020 by his mother.

00:42:11.640 She dressed him up

00:42:12.260 and paraded him

00:42:12.880 before the camera

00:42:13.620 in order to satisfy

00:42:14.460 her own sick ego.

00:42:16.280 What I want to know is,

00:42:17.460 where is that boy's father?

00:42:19.100 Either he's absent

00:42:19.760 in the boy's life

00:42:20.400 or he's a weak

00:42:21.180 and pitiful excuse

00:42:22.580 for a man.

00:42:23.980 Yeah,

00:42:24.340 well,

00:42:24.540 you always know

00:42:25.040 that anytime you see

00:42:25.960 any of these,

00:42:28.400 it's not a coincidence

00:42:29.820 that in the vast majority

00:42:31.900 of cases,

00:42:32.360 when you see these

00:42:33.460 poor little kids

00:42:34.740 being paraded around

00:42:36.220 on camera,

00:42:37.500 on TikTok,

00:42:38.100 Instagram,

00:42:38.900 on,

00:42:39.100 you know,

00:42:39.420 in the media,

00:42:41.780 these poor little boys

00:42:42.920 dressed up like girls

00:42:44.140 with makeup

00:42:44.600 and everything,

00:42:46.040 it's not a coincidence

00:42:47.300 that it's almost

00:42:48.560 always the mom

00:42:49.460 alone doing this.

00:42:51.900 She's the one

00:42:52.720 on camera,

00:42:53.320 she's the one

00:42:53.880 holding the camera

00:42:54.640 and what that tells us

00:42:57.540 is that 100%,

00:42:59.080 this is 100% certainty,

00:43:01.140 the father is absent

00:43:02.360 from that home,

00:43:03.300 100% certainty.

00:43:06.240 Now,

00:43:06.880 he may still be

00:43:07.800 a physical presence,

00:43:09.040 I think very often

00:43:09.680 he's absent

00:43:10.120 in every sense

00:43:10.600 of the word

00:43:11.020 but there may be cases

00:43:13.520 where he is

00:43:14.280 a physical presence

00:43:15.140 but he is still absent.

00:43:16.080 There's no real,

00:43:17.540 there might be a man,

00:43:19.140 a guy in that house

00:43:20.520 physically sitting around

00:43:21.720 like a lump on a log

00:43:23.420 but there's no father

00:43:24.780 in that home,

00:43:25.360 there's no real father

00:43:26.240 because a real father

00:43:27.080 would put an end

00:43:27.620 to that

00:43:28.020 immediately.

00:43:33.260 You know,

00:43:33.880 I don't,

00:43:34.820 I am not one

00:43:35.740 to recommend divorce

00:43:36.860 but,

00:43:38.400 you know,

00:43:39.860 you're a father

00:43:40.460 and your wife

00:43:42.220 tries to dress

00:43:43.060 your boy up

00:43:43.460 like a girl,

00:43:44.120 that's one of those

00:43:45.320 drawing lines,

00:43:48.000 ultimatums,

00:43:49.140 you're not going

00:43:50.160 to do this

00:43:50.640 to my son.

00:43:51.900 This is not going

00:43:52.800 to happen.

00:43:56.140 All right,

00:43:57.020 Spazio says,

00:43:58.040 I think you need

00:43:58.540 to show some proof

00:43:59.660 of the claims

00:44:00.640 you made

00:44:01.060 about Alfred Kinsey.

00:44:02.260 It's the second time

00:44:02.900 you claim he's not

00:44:03.520 a valid scientist

00:44:04.280 and his research

00:44:04.980 is pure nonsense.

00:44:06.420 There's no legit

00:44:07.220 documentation on the internet

00:44:08.380 that back up your thoughts

00:44:09.560 and this is a really

00:44:10.260 unsettled argument

00:44:11.040 because of that.

00:44:12.120 Well,

00:44:12.460 Spazio,

00:44:13.160 yes,

00:44:13.340 there is.

00:44:14.640 You know,

00:44:15.020 I'm not going

00:44:16.140 to hold your hand

00:44:16.620 through this.

00:44:17.420 Increasingly,

00:44:17.820 I'm just annoyed

00:44:18.580 with people.

00:44:19.640 You say,

00:44:19.780 what's your source?

00:44:20.580 Give me a,

00:44:21.360 just spend five minutes

00:44:23.080 looking it up yourself,

00:44:24.220 why don't you?

00:44:25.040 I can't hold your hand.

00:44:27.980 Everything I said

00:44:28.740 about Alfred Kinsey,

00:44:29.640 100% factual.

00:44:32.900 Okay?

00:44:33.720 But you're going to,

00:44:34.320 yeah,

00:44:34.620 you're going to spend

00:44:34.980 a little bit of time.

00:44:36.000 I can't,

00:44:36.540 see,

00:44:36.720 what you want

00:44:37.460 is you want me

00:44:37.980 to give you a link

00:44:38.820 with the bullet points

00:44:40.080 and so that you

00:44:40.580 can spend five seconds

00:44:41.500 and you can read

00:44:41.980 three sentences

00:44:42.500 and say,

00:44:42.900 oh,

00:44:42.980 well,

00:44:43.060 there it is.

00:44:44.740 No,

00:44:44.920 this is one of those things.

00:44:45.600 You got to spend

00:44:45.960 a little bit more time

00:44:46.840 to understand

00:44:47.800 the full history

00:44:49.060 of,

00:44:49.440 you know,

00:44:49.660 of Alfred Kinsey

00:44:50.800 and the sexual revolution

00:44:52.660 and how,

00:44:53.420 you know,

00:44:53.660 it takes a little bit.

00:44:54.480 In fact,

00:44:54.800 you might even have to read

00:44:55.760 some books about it.

00:44:57.280 You might have to read

00:44:57.940 an entire book

00:44:58.680 if you really want

00:44:59.200 to understand it.

00:45:02.060 But what I can tell you

00:45:03.200 is that what I said again

00:45:04.040 is a fact.

00:45:06.880 You know,

00:45:07.320 his methodology

00:45:08.180 when he released

00:45:10.700 sexual behavior

00:45:13.440 in the human male

00:45:14.060 and the methodology

00:45:16.040 that he used,

00:45:18.100 the populations,

00:45:21.020 the segments

00:45:21.580 of the population

00:45:22.400 that he was studying

00:45:23.680 and gathering

00:45:25.260 all of his survey data

00:45:26.240 from,

00:45:27.680 this is,

00:45:28.120 it's not disputed.

00:45:33.200 Let's see,

00:45:33.800 what else do we got?

00:45:35.440 Zuko says,

00:45:36.300 it's very hard

00:45:36.940 to maintain control

00:45:38.260 at the video

00:45:39.180 of the poor abused

00:45:39.960 four-year-old.

00:45:40.560 It's amazing,

00:45:41.180 though,

00:45:41.440 that she gave us

00:45:42.320 the nice comparison

00:45:43.020 of his age,

00:45:43.840 though.

00:45:44.060 He's clearly confused

00:45:44.920 because he's four

00:45:45.940 and his mom insists

00:45:46.580 on changing definitions

00:45:47.500 on him.

00:45:48.220 Right,

00:45:48.440 that's exactly the point.

00:45:49.460 Eric says,

00:45:50.080 I bet 99% of the people

00:45:51.260 who've seen Eternals

00:45:52.080 had no idea

00:45:52.660 it was directed

00:45:53.100 by a woman.

00:45:53.860 Yeah,

00:45:54.000 that's the other point

00:45:54.820 about the claim

00:45:55.760 from the film critic

00:45:56.660 yesterday,

00:45:57.540 this Marvel movie,

00:45:58.600 Eternals,

00:45:59.080 that apparently nobody likes

00:46:00.200 and nobody wants to see.

00:46:01.840 And the critic says,

00:46:03.080 well,

00:46:03.220 it's because it's directed

00:46:03.900 by a woman

00:46:04.520 and people are sexist.

00:46:06.480 And as I said yesterday,

00:46:07.500 the exact opposite

00:46:08.280 is the case,

00:46:08.760 but critics especially

00:46:09.580 bend over backwards

00:46:10.760 to find any reason

00:46:11.680 they can to give

00:46:13.300 a good review

00:46:13.880 to a movie

00:46:14.420 that's directed

00:46:14.880 by a woman.

00:46:15.800 But as far as

00:46:16.540 the audience goes,

00:46:17.980 this just shows

00:46:18.560 the kind of the bubble

00:46:19.380 that these film critics live in.

00:46:20.440 They don't understand

00:46:21.160 how the average film

00:46:22.560 moviegoer

00:46:24.200 actually experiences movies.

00:46:26.620 The average moviegoer

00:46:27.760 has no idea

00:46:28.400 who the director is

00:46:29.140 of any of these movies.

00:46:30.260 I bet if you went up

00:46:31.000 to just the average moviegoer,

00:46:32.320 the average person

00:46:33.020 who watches movies,

00:46:33.700 which is most people,

00:46:34.620 and you ask them

00:46:35.220 to name

00:46:35.900 like five directors,

00:46:38.020 they probably couldn't

00:46:38.920 even name five.

00:46:39.560 They might be able

00:46:39.880 to give you three.

00:46:41.340 Like,

00:46:41.500 they could tell you

00:46:41.880 Steven Spielberg,

00:46:44.080 but maybe they could

00:46:44.680 give you Christopher Nolan.

00:46:45.560 I mean,

00:46:45.840 just because most people

00:46:46.720 don't,

00:46:47.040 it doesn't matter

00:46:47.920 to them that much.

00:46:52.460 And they certainly

00:46:53.680 aren't looking up

00:46:54.980 information about

00:46:55.840 the director

00:46:56.420 and then saying,

00:46:57.220 well,

00:46:57.280 this one was directed

00:46:57.940 by a woman.

00:46:59.260 Well,

00:46:59.380 I'm not going

00:46:59.760 to watch this.

00:47:00.460 That's not

00:47:02.520 what people are doing

00:47:03.100 outside of the bubble

00:47:04.760 that you're living in.

00:47:05.960 When it comes

00:47:06.260 to Biden's vaccine mandates,

00:47:08.140 the Daily Wire

00:47:08.680 isn't backing down.

00:47:09.660 You heard us talking

00:47:10.160 about this yesterday.

00:47:10.820 If you watch

00:47:11.240 the backstage show,

00:47:12.100 we filed our lawsuit

00:47:13.140 against the tyrannical

00:47:14.260 and unconstitutional mandates

00:47:15.380 a week ago today,

00:47:16.340 and we're already

00:47:16.840 seeing results.

00:47:17.520 The Fifth Circuit

00:47:18.180 Court of Appeals

00:47:18.720 issued a temporary stay

00:47:19.880 over the weekend,

00:47:21.400 preventing Biden's mandate

00:47:23.620 from going into effect,

00:47:25.040 citing grave statutory

00:47:26.280 and constitutional issues.

00:47:27.560 There seems to be

00:47:28.040 a lot of those

00:47:29.060 going around today.

00:47:30.420 This does not mean

00:47:31.580 the battle is over.

00:47:32.500 Rather,

00:47:32.740 the battle has just begun.

00:47:34.140 Biden is determined

00:47:34.740 to pass these mandates

00:47:35.860 no matter what,

00:47:37.140 and that's why

00:47:37.460 we have to keep fighting.

00:47:38.200 We're not just fighting

00:47:39.300 for the Daily Wire employees.

00:47:40.560 We're fighting

00:47:40.860 for the medical freedom

00:47:41.660 of every single

00:47:42.440 brave American,

00:47:43.420 and it's extremely important

00:47:44.380 that everyone

00:47:45.100 makes their voice

00:47:47.320 heard right now.

00:47:48.860 This is an urgent matter,

00:47:49.840 and your medical freedom

00:47:50.480 depends on it.

00:47:51.220 If you want to support

00:47:51.980 the fight

00:47:52.440 to make your personal

00:47:53.780 medical decisions

00:47:54.520 without government interference,

00:47:55.860 sign our petition

00:47:56.420 against Biden's

00:47:57.220 authoritarian mandate,

00:47:58.360 hundreds of thousands

00:47:58.920 of Americans

00:47:59.300 have already signed

00:48:00.020 the petition

00:48:00.320 in just a few days,

00:48:01.100 but we need many more

00:48:02.120 people to stand up

00:48:02.900 just to reach our goal.

00:48:04.160 So please head to

00:48:04.820 dailywire.com

00:48:05.840 slash do not comply

00:48:07.020 to sign the petition today.

00:48:09.160 Now let's get to

00:48:09.920 our daily cancellation.

00:48:15.120 Today we cancel,

00:48:16.420 once again,

00:48:17.760 CNN.

00:48:18.520 This time for a segment

00:48:19.560 on the Kyle Rittenhouse case

00:48:20.960 featuring one Mr. Jeffrey Toobin.

00:48:22.940 As you recall,

00:48:24.000 though you surely wish

00:48:24.720 you did not recall,

00:48:26.040 Toobin,

00:48:26.440 CNN legal analyst,

00:48:27.520 gained international

00:48:28.240 notoriety last year

00:48:29.560 when he was caught

00:48:30.300 badgering the witness

00:48:31.960 during a Zoom meeting

00:48:32.900 with his co-workers.

00:48:34.020 Toobin pulled his tube out,

00:48:36.780 you might say.

00:48:37.500 He tried to,

00:48:38.060 to put it gently,

00:48:39.040 get a hold of himself

00:48:40.260 during this meeting.

00:48:41.580 He's always been

00:48:42.040 this self-congratulatory type,

00:48:43.300 so he decided to

00:48:43.960 give himself a hand,

00:48:44.900 so to speak.

00:48:45.820 And while he was engaged

00:48:47.020 in this DIY project,

00:48:49.060 his colleagues looked on

00:48:50.320 in unimaginable shock

00:48:52.160 and horror.

00:48:52.460 Now,

00:48:53.400 for most humans on Earth,

00:48:55.860 handling your situation

00:48:56.880 in a work setting

00:48:57.780 in full view

00:48:58.660 of other employees

00:48:59.360 would lead

00:49:00.780 not only to

00:49:01.640 immediate termination,

00:49:02.520 but it would likely

00:49:03.140 foreclose all future

00:49:04.640 possibilities

00:49:05.420 of employment.

00:49:07.180 You could maybe

00:49:08.360 get a job

00:49:09.000 as assistant manager

00:49:10.060 at your local sex shop.

00:49:11.160 I don't know.

00:49:11.940 Though on second thought,

00:49:12.720 you certainly could not

00:49:13.480 be trusted in that setting either.

00:49:15.280 So really,

00:49:15.780 that would be it for you.

00:49:17.120 You may never find

00:49:18.380 gainful employment

00:49:19.100 ever again,

00:49:19.680 but Jeffrey Toobin

00:49:20.960 works in corporate media

00:49:22.320 and the rules

00:49:23.320 are different there.

00:49:24.920 Which means that,

00:49:26.140 in this case,

00:49:26.720 he was back on the beat

00:49:27.680 with CNN

00:49:28.540 within just a few months.

00:49:30.120 CNN has mostly

00:49:30.920 not seen it necessary

00:49:31.780 to justify its decision

00:49:33.060 to employ

00:49:33.900 and provide a public platform

00:49:35.200 to a man

00:49:36.300 who masturbated

00:49:37.060 during a work meeting.

00:49:38.200 To the extent

00:49:38.740 that they've bothered

00:49:39.440 to explain it,

00:49:40.680 the rationale seems to be

00:49:41.680 that Toobin's behavior

00:49:42.440 was an accident.

00:49:44.100 He's the real victim here,

00:49:45.200 you see.

00:49:46.180 He didn't know

00:49:46.940 that his camera was on

00:49:47.920 during the Zoom call.

00:49:48.700 He thought he was

00:49:49.860 debugging the hard drive

00:49:51.240 in the privacy

00:49:51.860 of his own home.

00:49:52.860 And it may indeed be true

00:49:54.320 that he didn't know

00:49:55.120 the camera was on.

00:49:56.920 But the act itself

00:49:58.960 was not an accident.

00:50:00.980 Granted,

00:50:01.400 I was not on the call,

00:50:02.880 which is why

00:50:03.300 I still have eyes

00:50:04.080 and I haven't gouged them out.

00:50:05.540 But I still feel safe

00:50:06.920 assuming that Toobin

00:50:07.860 didn't slip and fall

00:50:09.220 and accidentally masturbate.

00:50:11.420 No,

00:50:11.620 he quite intentionally

00:50:12.460 decided to perform

00:50:13.560 that act

00:50:14.160 during a work meeting

00:50:15.680 while watching

00:50:17.060 his coworkers.

00:50:17.680 The only thing

00:50:20.120 he didn't intend

00:50:20.920 was for them

00:50:21.420 to know

00:50:21.900 that he was doing it.

00:50:23.940 I fail to see

00:50:24.780 how that makes this

00:50:25.520 any better.

00:50:27.160 I mean,

00:50:27.340 if there's a guy

00:50:28.060 on public transportation

00:50:29.940 sitting in the back

00:50:30.760 of the bus

00:50:31.780 masturbating,

00:50:33.840 hoping no one sees it

00:50:35.180 and someone does,

00:50:35.900 can he say to the cop,

00:50:36.980 well,

00:50:37.220 I didn't mean for anyone

00:50:38.140 to know that I was doing it?

00:50:39.340 Especially because

00:50:42.920 we can assume here,

00:50:44.460 as always is the case

00:50:46.180 in these kinds of situations,

00:50:47.320 that when a pervert

00:50:48.240 is caught in the act

00:50:49.260 for the first time,

00:50:50.560 he was only caught

00:50:52.000 for the first time.

00:50:53.060 It's not,

00:50:53.520 however,

00:50:53.780 his first time

00:50:54.400 at the rodeo.

00:50:55.900 And yet he's back

00:50:56.660 on the air,

00:50:57.120 which leads us finally

00:50:57.940 to this segment

00:50:58.640 and let's all watch

00:51:00.200 cautiously.

00:51:02.120 Two thoughts.

00:51:03.260 Two thoughts.

00:51:04.020 One,

00:51:04.660 what kind of idiot

00:51:06.200 17-year-old

00:51:07.960 gets a giant gun

00:51:09.940 and goes to a riot?

00:51:11.740 He has no license.

00:51:12.960 He has no training.

00:51:14.280 He thinks he's going

00:51:15.080 to scrub graffiti off

00:51:16.580 with his AR-15.

00:51:18.060 I mean,

00:51:18.380 the stupidity of this.

00:51:20.060 It's like,

00:51:20.400 what could possibly go wrong?

00:51:22.080 Well,

00:51:22.380 a lot went wrong.

00:51:23.720 The good news

00:51:24.640 for Kyle Rittenhouse

00:51:25.500 is that he's not on trial

00:51:26.880 for being an idiot.

00:51:27.980 He's on trial

00:51:28.720 for homicide.

00:51:30.140 And in that respect,

00:51:31.460 I mostly agree

00:51:32.600 with Joey

00:51:33.100 that

00:51:33.620 this is a tough case

00:51:35.820 for the prosecution

00:51:36.660 because it does seem like

00:51:39.300 he has a plausible case

00:51:41.620 of self-defense.

00:51:43.740 And,

00:51:44.020 you know,

00:51:44.720 if it were illegal

00:51:46.580 to be an idiot,

00:51:47.520 the jails would be

00:51:48.120 even freer,

00:51:49.000 even more crowded

00:51:50.600 than they are now.

00:51:51.880 Homicide's a different matter.

00:51:54.380 Very bold move

00:51:55.340 by CNN

00:51:55.800 to use a glass table.

00:51:58.400 Also,

00:51:58.940 you have to feel bad

00:51:59.620 for the guy

00:52:00.000 sitting right next to Toobin

00:52:01.140 as Toobin's kind of

00:52:02.700 waving his hands around

00:52:03.500 like that.

00:52:04.980 I mean,

00:52:05.160 his life must have been

00:52:05.800 flashing before his eyes,

00:52:07.160 which is still better

00:52:07.900 than Toobin flashing

00:52:08.640 before his eyes,

00:52:09.260 I suppose.

00:52:10.180 As for Toobin,

00:52:10.760 he accuses Rittenhouse

00:52:11.600 of being an idiot.

00:52:13.020 Now,

00:52:13.260 just to emphasize here,

00:52:14.120 the man who pleasured himself

00:52:15.200 during a Zoom meeting

00:52:16.080 and forgot to turn

00:52:16.660 the camera off

00:52:17.400 is calling somebody else

00:52:18.920 an idiot.

00:52:20.380 He says it's fortunate

00:52:21.320 for Rittenhouse

00:52:22.120 that, you know,

00:52:22.540 being an idiot

00:52:23.180 isn't illegal.

00:52:24.300 Well,

00:52:24.500 it's fortunate for Toobin

00:52:25.460 that masturbating

00:52:26.200 in front of unwilling

00:52:26.880 spectators isn't illegal.

00:52:28.240 Oh, wait,

00:52:28.760 it is illegal.

00:52:30.400 Just not if you're

00:52:31.340 a member of the favored class.

00:52:33.440 Now,

00:52:33.720 putting his childish analysis

00:52:34.940 of the Rittenhouse case aside,

00:52:36.200 I mean,

00:52:36.400 you can really see

00:52:36.960 why CNN

00:52:37.400 just had to bring

00:52:38.660 the masturbator

00:52:39.420 back on the air

00:52:40.200 because otherwise

00:52:41.020 they'd be deprived

00:52:41.780 of insightful legal opinions

00:52:43.140 like,

00:52:43.760 that guy's an idiot,

00:52:44.580 LOL.

00:52:46.140 But putting that aside,

00:52:47.860 Jeffrey Toobin

00:52:48.280 really shows us

00:52:48.980 the nature of cancel culture,

00:52:50.140 doesn't he?

00:52:50.460 Jeffrey Toobin

00:52:52.260 shows us

00:52:52.760 quite a lot,

00:52:54.060 actually,

00:52:54.400 way more than

00:52:54.780 we want to see,

00:52:55.380 but the lesson he provides

00:52:56.180 about cancel culture

00:52:56.800 is useful.

00:52:57.440 Cancel culture is,

00:52:58.740 as I've always said,

00:53:00.020 arbitrary by definition.

00:53:02.120 Why is Louis C.K.

00:53:03.540 still banished

00:53:04.300 to the cultural hinterlands

00:53:05.580 persona non grata

00:53:06.660 and yet Toobin

00:53:07.680 is on cable news?

00:53:08.700 They did the same thing,

00:53:10.120 but Toobin

00:53:10.520 is arguably worse

00:53:11.200 because he didn't get

00:53:11.840 consent ahead of time.

00:53:13.940 And there have certainly

00:53:14.500 been people who committed

00:53:15.320 far less severe infractions

00:53:16.640 or no infraction

00:53:17.520 and yet suffer punishments

00:53:19.020 far worse than whatever

00:53:19.880 Toobin suffered.

00:53:20.460 which was really

00:53:21.180 nothing at all.

00:53:21.900 When it comes to

00:53:22.380 workplace sexual harassment

00:53:23.520 specifically,

00:53:24.760 we live in a world now

00:53:25.680 where giving your female

00:53:26.860 co-worker a compliment

00:53:28.060 may be sexual harassment,

00:53:29.920 but, I mean,

00:53:30.780 in Toobin's case,

00:53:33.160 masturbating in front of her

00:53:34.740 during a work meeting

00:53:35.560 is not sexual harassment.

00:53:38.120 But this is all by design.

00:53:39.960 It's a power move

00:53:40.720 by CNN, really.

00:53:42.500 Cancel culture is arbitrary.

00:53:43.640 It's also left-wing,

00:53:44.680 inherently.

00:53:45.820 It was largely invented

00:53:47.200 by the left-wing

00:53:48.200 corporate media.

00:53:49.420 It's their thing.

00:53:51.280 Cancel culture belongs

00:53:52.540 to CNN

00:53:53.200 and its fellow

00:53:54.020 corporate media organizations.

00:53:55.680 It will decide

00:53:56.660 who is canceled

00:53:57.420 and who is not.

00:53:59.040 Jeffrey Toobin

00:53:59.580 is on their team.

00:54:00.720 They happen to like him

00:54:01.940 for whatever reason,

00:54:02.860 and so they will grant him

00:54:03.960 a pass

00:54:04.460 that nobody else,

00:54:05.600 I mean,

00:54:05.900 nobody else on the planet

00:54:07.420 anywhere

00:54:07.900 would be granted.

00:54:09.680 There's no coherent

00:54:10.720 moral philosophy

00:54:11.660 underpinning this.

00:54:12.520 Cancel culture isn't,

00:54:13.280 it's not mere

00:54:15.240 left-wing puritanism.

00:54:17.420 It's not even

00:54:18.180 a moral panic.

00:54:20.020 It's a weapon,

00:54:21.160 and they will decide

00:54:22.820 how to wield it.

00:54:24.320 That's why Toobin

00:54:25.140 still has a job,

00:54:26.360 and is probably still

00:54:27.620 invited on Zoom calls,

00:54:28.760 and everybody else

00:54:30.560 on the call

00:54:30.840 just has to make sure

00:54:31.500 that they don't eat lunch

00:54:32.340 beforehand, I guess.

00:54:34.020 That's also why

00:54:34.700 I must say again today

00:54:35.600 that CNN is,

00:54:37.060 of course,

00:54:38.160 canceled.

00:54:38.980 I'll leave it there

00:54:39.660 for today.

00:54:40.160 Thanks for watching.

00:54:40.680 Thanks for listening.
