The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 859 - Wokeness Is America's Dominant Religion

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Wall Show, a new survey reveals that huge numbers of Americans have left religion in recent years, especially since COVID.

00:00:06.440 But that's not actually correct. Americans aren't leaving religion. They're going from one religion to a different one.

00:00:11.060 I'll explain. Also, Ron DeSantis continues to lead the charge against wokeness in the school system. 0.82

00:00:15.340 And airline CEOs try to explain why it's stupid to require masks on planes. 0.65

00:00:19.380 Plus, a leading climate activist and quote-unquote scientist calls for more censorship of climate denialism.

00:00:25.380 Enter a daily cancellation. Kamala Harris is canceled, but perhaps not for the reasons you may think.

00:00:29.440 All of that and more today on The Matt Wall Show.

00:00:41.220 It's the holidays and you deserve a gift. How about a gift that keeps on giving you joy and comfort every day all year long?

00:00:47.920 This is a gift for yourself, not for anybody else. Don't waste it on somebody else.

00:00:51.780 I'm talking about the X chair. You want to get the X chair for yourself.

00:00:55.560 I absolutely love mine. It's by far the most comfortable and ergonomic chair I've ever used.

00:01:00.820 I don't even know what ergonomic means. I just know that it is that.

00:01:03.960 And honestly, it's also probably the coolest looking piece of furniture I own.

00:01:06.660 Not only is X chair the world's greatest office chair, but with its patented LMX technology,

00:01:11.820 it doubles as a massage chair and can either cool or warm your back as well.

00:01:16.420 Can your office chair do that? Probably not.

00:01:18.480 Which is why you need the X chair. Now is the perfect time to purchase an X chair.

00:01:22.780 Buy early. Buy now. And here's X chair's holiday gift for you.

00:01:44.240 The media has been reporting this week with a certain amount of unsubtle glee that a huge chunk of Americans abandoned their religion over the last two years,

00:01:52.340 accelerating an already existing trend. This trend is certainly important.

00:01:57.180 It's one of the most important and consequential things happening in our world today.

00:02:00.540 In fact, our society is being fundamentally reshaped as we speak.

00:02:04.660 But as always, the media reports tend to miss the point while also misinterpreting the data.

00:02:10.100 There is a great religious shift taking place, but I don't think it's accurate to say that all of these people are leaving religion necessarily.

00:02:18.760 And I'll explain why. But first, let's take a look at the findings.

00:02:21.360 As reported by the Wall Street Journal, it says, quote,

00:02:24.520 Religious affiliation in the U.S. has continued to fall during the pandemic, according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center.

00:02:30.000 The percentage of Americans who identify as Christians now stands at 63 percent, down from 65 percent in 2019 and from 78 percent in 2007.

00:02:38.940 Meanwhile, 29 percent of Americans now identify as having no religion, up from 26 percent in 2019 and 16 percent in 2007 when Pew began tracking religious identity.

00:02:49.720 Many places of worship closed during the pandemic, some voluntarily, others as a result of state and local social distancing rules.

00:02:55.920 And in-person church attendance is roughly 30 to 50 percent lower than it was before the pandemic.

00:03:02.500 Estimates Barna Group, a research firm that studies faith in the U.S.,

00:03:05.940 in the U.S., millions of Americans move to worshiping online and questions linger about how many will come back to the in-person worshiping.

00:03:13.980 So let's pause for a moment to consider two points.

00:03:17.480 First of all, these numbers are indeed truly horrifying if you are a member of a traditional religion.

00:03:22.960 And if you agree with John Adams, who said that our political system was made only for a moral and religious people

00:03:28.540 and is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

00:03:31.840 You know, if you do, then this should trouble you greatly.

00:03:35.000 Dropping from 78 percent Christian to 63 percent in less than 15 years is cataclysmic.

00:03:42.020 Even more so when you take a step back and consider the fuller picture,

00:03:45.460 polls of this kind conducted back, say, in the 1950s,

00:03:48.300 would have found that well over 90 percent of the country was Christian.

00:03:51.540 That's almost everybody.

00:03:55.340 Now we're, and certainly, you know, 90 percent Christian,

00:03:58.600 and then the rest would be other religions.

00:04:01.780 There'd be almost nobody who identified as non-religious.

00:04:05.540 Now we're on track as Christians to be a minority.

00:04:08.840 And that will happen far sooner than you think.

00:04:11.200 I would give it maybe until the middle of this decade, another five years perhaps.

00:04:14.560 Of course, we're already a minority and have been for some time if you take into account

00:04:20.000 that not every self-identified Christian is really a Christian.

00:04:24.360 That's the problem with a survey like this.

00:04:26.580 You know, you're not going to find anyone who self-identifies as non-Christian

00:04:30.120 and yet actually is Christian.

00:04:32.180 That doesn't happen.

00:04:33.320 The Christian religion is such that if you think you aren't in it, then you aren't.

00:04:38.040 But just because you think you are in it doesn't mean you are.

00:04:41.600 Case in point, Joe Biden,

00:04:42.780 If he was contacted for this survey, he would have said, yeah, I'm Christian.

00:04:46.820 But he rejects nearly every moral teaching of the Catholic Church

00:04:49.580 and denies its moral authority and yet would call himself Catholic and thus Christian.

00:04:53.560 He's not.

00:04:54.800 His claim is at best self-delusion, but probably more likely a conscious lie.

00:04:59.820 All of that to say, you know, let's not engage in self-delusion ourselves

00:05:05.860 and pretend that these kinds of survey findings aren't important

00:05:08.640 or that the situation isn't really as bad as this makes it seem.

00:05:12.780 It is that bad.

00:05:13.820 And in fact, it's worse.

00:05:15.540 We were once a Christian nation.

00:05:18.420 We are no longer a Christian nation. 0.92

00:05:21.640 Soon, we won't even be a majority Christian nation.

00:05:25.240 And as our founders knew, this doesn't work.

00:05:29.180 It's not working.

00:05:30.800 The country doesn't work when it is not anchored in the Christian faith. 1.00

00:05:34.520 Another point.

00:05:36.480 Church attendance is perhaps, as it says, 50% lower than it was two years ago.

00:05:41.720 So churches lost half, half of their congregations in the span of two years.

00:05:47.980 And they're not coming back.

00:05:49.620 Okay.

00:05:49.820 And this squares with my own anecdotal experience for what it's worth.

00:05:53.460 Every church I've attended over the last year has been relatively sparse in attendance.

00:05:57.700 I'm not sure I've seen a full church except on holidays since 2019.

00:06:02.400 And even back then, it was somewhat rare to see a totally full church.

00:06:06.000 Now you just never see them.

00:06:08.200 Why?

00:06:08.580 I mean, why have people abandoned going to church?

00:06:10.580 Part of it, of course, is the decline in traditional religiosity,

00:06:14.540 the decline in Christian affiliation generally.

00:06:16.280 But the drop-off for church attendance is far outpacing the drop in Christian affiliation.

00:06:21.700 Why is that?

00:06:22.300 A big part of the reason for that is that many churches, most, I'm guessing,

00:06:27.380 closed their doors, often for months at a time during the pandemic,

00:06:31.020 during a time when people most needed spiritual guidance

00:06:34.220 and spiritual formation and leadership.

00:06:37.660 The church wasn't there.

00:06:40.080 It had fled in the night in fear.

00:06:43.000 Now you might rationalize that churches were forced to do this.

00:06:47.200 The government told them they had to close down.

00:06:48.900 The problem is that many remained closed even when they no longer had to be closed.

00:06:52.980 And even during the time when they had to be closed,

00:06:55.340 they can still be faulted for complying with these absurdly unconstitutional edicts.

00:07:02.380 Closing down the right to the free exercise of religion is right there in the First Amendment.

00:07:07.780 Governments coming in and shutting down churches indefinitely

00:07:12.600 certainly flies in the face of that.

00:07:15.540 So the government had no moral authority to shut down any churches,

00:07:19.280 which means the churches had the moral authority to refuse and say,

00:07:23.400 we're not shutting down.

00:07:24.540 You can arrest us all.

00:07:25.560 We're not shutting down.

00:07:27.520 A few churches did that, heroically.

00:07:30.740 Most did not.

00:07:32.680 Most just shut their doors and said,

00:07:34.280 okay, you let us know when we can go back to practicing our religion again.

00:07:39.300 So through this mixture of compliance and willful cooperation,

00:07:43.040 churches sent a message to the public.

00:07:45.060 And the message was, you don't need us.

00:07:48.240 We aren't necessary.

00:07:50.480 You can get along fine without us.

00:07:53.540 And great numbers of people heard that message and they took it to heart.

00:07:57.000 And now here we are.

00:07:58.860 But there's another very important point to make about all this.

00:08:01.020 But first, let's go back to the article for a minute.

00:08:02.520 It says among the 29% who say they have no religion,

00:08:06.100 4% say they are theists and 5% agnostic.

00:08:09.700 Most of those figures are unchanged since 2017.

00:08:13.120 The percentage of Americans who identify as nothing in particular

00:08:15.780 grew from 16% in 2017 to 20% this year.

00:08:19.780 Though some who identify as nothing in particular may believe in God,

00:08:23.900 Mr. Smith said they are far less likely to pray or attend services

00:08:27.100 than Americans who identify with a religious group.

00:08:29.420 The share of Americans who pray daily fell to 45% in 2021 compared with 58% in 2007.

00:08:36.960 It says the secularizing trends that have been evident for a long time

00:08:40.320 show no signs of slowing and certainly no signs of reversing.

00:08:44.000 Though Protestants remain the largest group,

00:08:46.020 most of the drop in religious affiliation has come from their ranks.

00:08:48.420 Some 40% of Americans now identify as Protestant compared with 43% in 2019

00:08:52.440 and 52% in 2007.

00:08:54.600 Okay, now to the important point.

00:08:58.040 What we're witnessing is not really a decline in religion per se.

00:09:01.900 At least the decline is not nearly as steep as those numbers make it seem.

00:09:07.560 Because many of the non-religious people have not given up on religion or left religion.

00:09:12.980 They have just in fact changed religions.

00:09:15.260 This is a religious shift, not a drop.

00:09:20.720 And to understand this, we have to take a step back, I think,

00:09:22.520 and consider what we even mean when we say the word religion.

00:09:26.100 What is a religion?

00:09:28.000 Most dictionary definitions will tell you that a religion is, you know,

00:09:30.800 a belief in some kind of supernatural entity

00:09:32.860 with associated rituals and customs attached to that belief.

00:09:36.180 And that is one form that religion takes, yes.

00:09:39.000 Most of the ancient religions,

00:09:41.280 the traditional religions,

00:09:42.480 take exactly that form.

00:09:44.020 But I think I prefer a broader definition

00:09:46.800 that helps to make sense of what we're seeing in our culture today.

00:09:49.600 I would say that religion can be defined as simply

00:09:52.100 a shared sense of transcendent meaning.

00:09:56.580 And it has to be shared because religion, by definition,

00:09:58.880 cannot be a totally individualized pursuit.

00:10:01.220 If it is, then it's just a belief, not a religion.

00:10:04.320 And then there has to be that sense of transcendence,

00:10:06.380 or else it's not a religion, it's a social club.

00:10:09.140 To be in a religion is to look towards something transcendent,

00:10:12.000 something beyond ordinary physical experience.

00:10:14.840 And to be standing alongside others

00:10:16.600 who are looking in the same direction as you.

00:10:19.300 Now, this means, again,

00:10:20.400 that some of those self-described Christians

00:10:22.200 aren't really Christian at all,

00:10:23.760 aren't really religious at all.

00:10:25.560 Because when you go to some churches today,

00:10:27.320 there is no sense of anything transcendent at all.

00:10:30.920 Everything is earthbound.

00:10:32.100 All of the focus is on earthly priorities and values.

00:10:36.820 I mean, you can go to some so-called churches today

00:10:38.420 and not even see a cross anywhere in the building.

00:10:42.900 Because the cross is transcendence.

00:10:46.200 And in these churches,

00:10:47.180 they don't want you looking to anything transcendent.

00:10:50.520 And the people in those churches,

00:10:51.840 they're not attending a church,

00:10:52.900 they're attending a motivational seminar.

00:10:55.400 Or maybe a book club.

00:10:56.520 In fact, many Christian churches

00:10:58.860 have taken great pains over the decades

00:11:00.700 to deliberately turn away from

00:11:02.880 the transcendent and the mystical

00:11:04.800 and to make the church-going experience

00:11:06.920 far more sterile and sanitized in that way.

00:11:10.760 Which is another reason

00:11:11.780 why fewer people are going to church.

00:11:13.100 Because you've removed the very thing

00:11:14.860 that motivated them to come in the first place.

00:11:17.980 But what about all those self-described

00:11:19.760 non-religious people?

00:11:21.320 Those allegedly non-religious people? 0.99

00:11:23.120 Well, a good portion of them are leftists.

00:11:27.020 Not all, but a good portion.

00:11:29.120 And leftism is a religion in itself.

00:11:32.520 It may not have all of the same

00:11:34.100 structured customs and traditions.

00:11:36.260 Part of what defines it

00:11:37.340 is its hostility to customs and traditions.

00:11:40.100 Its tradition is to destroy tradition.

00:11:43.140 Religious people of the past 1.00

00:11:44.240 built statues and monuments.

00:11:46.240 Members of the leftist religion

00:11:47.400 tear down statues and monuments.

00:11:49.860 But even so, it is a religion.

00:11:51.520 And this becomes quite obvious

00:11:53.500 when you consider critical race theory.

00:11:55.780 The belief in inherited racial guilt.

00:11:59.020 Inherited racial persecution.

00:12:01.960 Gender theory.

00:12:02.840 The belief that people can be born

00:12:04.140 in the wrong bodies.

00:12:06.300 The belief that a man can be a man

00:12:08.160 and yet somehow still in some way

00:12:09.600 be a woman at the same time.

00:12:11.640 All of the pronouns

00:12:12.720 and the new gender labels and so on.

00:12:14.780 None of this is scientific.

00:12:16.820 It certainly isn't logical.

00:12:19.080 There's no empirical basis

00:12:21.460 to any of this.

00:12:22.780 They cannot locate the source

00:12:24.840 of white guilt 0.77

00:12:25.740 or black victimization 0.66

00:12:27.420 or a man's womanhood 0.97

00:12:30.080 anywhere on earth.

00:12:32.720 This is their version

00:12:33.960 of grasping for transcendent meaning.

00:12:37.080 There's a reason why

00:12:38.040 they hold that prefix trans 0.60

00:12:39.740 in such high regard.

00:12:41.520 They put it all the way

00:12:42.520 at the top of the pyramid.

00:12:44.560 Because that's really what they mean

00:12:45.900 when they call a man

00:12:46.940 a trans woman.

00:12:47.800 They mean that he is

00:12:48.980 a transcendent woman.

00:12:51.040 His womanhood transcends

00:12:52.520 physical boundaries

00:12:53.600 making him in many ways

00:12:55.040 a more spectacular specimen

00:12:56.600 of womanhood

00:12:57.120 than a biological woman. 0.71

00:12:59.880 That's how man won

00:13:01.260 woman of the year

00:13:01.940 a few years ago.

00:13:03.960 Their ideas about race,

00:13:05.740 gender, victimhood,

00:13:06.900 justice, fairness,

00:13:08.060 equity, tolerance,

00:13:09.180 all of these ideas

00:13:10.160 have a religious,

00:13:11.480 supernatural,

00:13:12.440 transcendent quality to them.

00:13:14.400 And to call it transcendent

00:13:15.280 by the way

00:13:15.540 is not an endorsement.

00:13:16.520 Transcendent just means 0.98

00:13:18.180 that something is beyond

00:13:19.140 the range of normal

00:13:20.000 human experience.

00:13:21.140 Psychosis is a transcendent

00:13:22.580 experience too

00:13:23.280 in a certain way.

00:13:24.800 There is transcendence

00:13:26.080 that points you

00:13:26.760 to truth and beauty

00:13:27.800 which is Christian transcendence.

00:13:31.700 And then there is

00:13:32.480 the religion of leftism

00:13:33.440 which is a religion

00:13:34.920 but one that directs you

00:13:36.620 towards confusion

00:13:37.560 and insanity.

00:13:39.440 you know the idea

00:13:43.860 of Christian transcendence

00:13:45.000 is you're looking

00:13:45.540 beyond the physical

00:13:47.300 you're looking beyond

00:13:48.340 your immediate experiences

00:13:49.500 and then anchoring yourself

00:13:52.420 to something beyond it

00:13:53.640 but something that's

00:13:54.300 even more real

00:13:55.220 something sturdier.

00:13:58.240 With the leftist transcendence

00:14:00.200 you're looking beyond

00:14:00.980 physical experience

00:14:01.980 and just going out there

00:14:04.480 into space

00:14:05.680 and floating around

00:14:06.640 not anchored to anything

00:14:07.580 untethered, unmoored.

00:14:09.720 That's what we're witnessing

00:14:10.640 in our culture today.

00:14:12.360 It's not the death

00:14:13.340 of religion

00:14:13.840 but the birth

00:14:14.620 of a new one.

00:14:16.260 An anti-religion religion 0.99

00:14:17.680 but a religion all the same.

00:14:19.520 One with its own

00:14:20.240 supernatural beliefs

00:14:21.240 its own heresies

00:14:22.940 its own anti-tradition traditions

00:14:26.180 its own ideas about sin

00:14:28.160 its own inquisitions.

00:14:30.780 Human beings

00:14:31.500 as we discover

00:14:32.340 are religious by nature.

00:14:33.660 you're never going to have

00:14:36.400 a totally non-religious society.

00:14:38.800 It can't happen.

00:14:40.960 There will always be religion 0.93

00:14:42.220 the only question is

00:14:43.080 if we choose a true religion

00:14:44.320 or a false one.

00:14:46.920 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:14:48.240 Well I never had a garage

00:14:56.840 until recently

00:14:57.780 with our most recent house

00:14:58.920 and I've

00:14:59.880 once you have one

00:15:00.940 then you discover

00:15:01.480 that it is a frequently

00:15:03.400 traversed area

00:15:04.400 in your house.

00:15:05.060 In fact

00:15:05.320 garages are the most

00:15:06.260 frequently accessed

00:15:06.980 entry point

00:15:07.480 for most homes.

00:15:08.800 Often overlooked

00:15:09.400 the garage is where

00:15:10.100 the most

00:15:10.940 where people

00:15:11.680 you know

00:15:12.240 come and go

00:15:12.780 and you also keep

00:15:13.520 a lot of really important

00:15:14.160 things there

00:15:14.980 prized possessions

00:15:15.820 including your cars

00:15:16.620 your tools and bikes

00:15:17.420 so it's just common sense

00:15:18.800 to know what's going on

00:15:19.920 inside your garage.

00:16:12.820 Alright let's start with this

00:16:14.080 Ron DeSantis

00:16:14.800 yesterday

00:16:16.460 introduced

00:16:17.380 a bill

00:16:18.700 called the

00:16:19.340 Stop Woke Act

00:16:21.140 and he's someone

00:16:23.380 fighting back

00:16:24.040 against the

00:16:24.740 leftist religion

00:16:25.480 especially as it

00:16:26.860 intrudes into the

00:16:28.080 school system

00:16:28.600 you know

00:16:30.400 separation of church

00:16:31.580 and state

00:16:32.040 the people who are

00:16:34.160 who are

00:16:34.620 bringing this

00:16:35.560 wokeness

00:16:36.260 into the

00:16:37.460 school system

00:16:38.040 they're the ones

00:16:38.780 who would say

00:16:39.180 we have to separate

00:16:39.820 church and state

00:16:40.440 but what they really mean

00:16:42.360 again

00:16:42.680 is that

00:16:43.180 they don't mean that

00:16:44.200 what they mean is

00:16:44.860 no we want

00:16:45.780 our own church

00:16:46.580 we don't want

00:16:47.940 we don't want religion 1.00

00:16:48.680 out of the school system

00:16:49.700 what are you talking about

00:16:50.340 no we want

00:16:50.820 our religion

00:16:51.660 in the school system

00:16:52.820 not yours

00:16:53.500 DeSantis is fighting

00:16:56.120 back against that

00:16:56.740 let's listen to him

00:16:57.340 explain the bill

00:16:57.900 so today

00:16:59.940 we are going to be

00:17:01.600 introducing

00:17:02.340 to the public

00:17:03.380 and we have legislators

00:17:04.820 who are going to help us

00:17:05.700 with this

00:17:06.200 a new piece of legislation

00:17:08.000 for the upcoming

00:17:08.900 legislative session

00:17:10.060 called

00:17:10.660 stop wrongs

00:17:11.840 against our kids

00:17:12.860 and employees act

00:17:13.900 the stop woke act

00:17:15.040 and it's something that

00:17:16.320 and this will do

00:17:24.940 a number of things

00:17:25.900 that are very important

00:17:26.720 one it will put

00:17:27.720 into statute

00:17:28.800 the department of education's

00:17:31.320 prohibition

00:17:32.200 on CRT

00:17:33.520 in K-12 schools

00:17:35.320 no

00:17:35.860 taxpayer dollars

00:17:37.680 should be used

00:17:39.080 to teach our kids

00:17:40.320 to hate our country

00:17:41.760 or to hate each other

00:17:43.200 so we're seeing

00:17:49.180 from Ron DeSantis

00:17:49.900 and I

00:17:50.240 and

00:17:50.580 I think

00:17:52.120 finally more conservatives

00:17:55.000 are waking up

00:17:55.620 to this fact

00:17:56.220 that we can't

00:18:00.380 sit back

00:18:00.860 in a totally

00:18:01.300 defensive posture

00:18:02.560 there needs to be

00:18:05.200 an aggressive

00:18:05.720 offensive move

00:18:07.320 to keep this stuff

00:18:09.340 out of the school systems

00:18:10.420 to protect our kids

00:18:12.160 from it

00:18:12.580 and I don't think

00:18:14.460 anyone's doing more

00:18:15.040 than that

00:18:15.460 from a political standpoint

00:18:17.200 than Ron DeSantis

00:18:17.940 but he's

00:18:19.040 he made another

00:18:20.580 really interesting point

00:18:21.700 about this

00:18:22.140 there's one more clip

00:18:23.100 I want to play

00:18:23.700 from this press conference

00:18:25.140 as he's talking about

00:18:26.660 you know

00:18:27.020 with leftism

00:18:29.200 what are their

00:18:29.800 real priorities

00:18:30.720 what do they care

00:18:32.640 about the most

00:18:33.100 they talk about

00:18:33.700 taxes

00:18:34.200 and tax policy

00:18:35.960 but is that

00:18:36.540 what they actually

00:18:37.020 care about the most

00:18:37.760 here he is

00:18:39.060 talking about that

00:18:39.620 and I think

00:18:41.420 what you see now

00:18:42.360 with the rise

00:18:43.160 of this woke ideology

00:18:44.600 is an attempt

00:18:46.220 to really

00:18:47.020 delegitimize

00:18:47.920 our history

00:18:48.700 and to delegitimize

00:18:50.120 our institutions

00:18:51.120 and I view

00:18:52.720 the wokeness

00:18:53.600 as a form

00:18:54.440 of cultural

00:18:55.120 Marxism

00:18:55.860 they want

00:18:57.160 to tear

00:18:57.740 they want

00:19:03.200 to just

00:19:03.620 it's not just

00:19:04.300 you know

00:19:04.540 people say

00:19:05.180 oh you know

00:19:05.680 you know

00:19:06.180 they're leftist

00:19:08.060 or socialist

00:19:08.460 it's not just

00:19:09.020 like taxes

00:19:10.140 and all that

00:19:10.660 yeah

00:19:10.900 they do want

00:19:11.740 that

00:19:12.000 and that's

00:19:12.380 not good

00:19:12.940 but they really

00:19:13.920 want to tear

00:19:14.580 at the fabric

00:19:15.300 of our society

00:19:16.620 and our culture

00:19:17.860 and things

00:19:18.720 that really

00:19:19.500 we've taken

00:19:20.040 for granted

00:19:20.580 like the ability

00:19:21.400 of parents

00:19:21.960 to direct

00:19:22.440 the upbringing

00:19:22.960 of their kids

00:19:23.740 yeah

00:19:26.600 and the only

00:19:28.820 the only thing

00:19:29.280 I quibble with

00:19:29.920 here is

00:19:30.560 he says

00:19:31.160 they're trying

00:19:32.060 to delegitimize

00:19:33.360 our institutions

00:19:35.240 they're trying

00:19:36.080 to delegitimize

00:19:36.980 our history

00:19:37.720 and he's

00:19:39.940 he's right

00:19:40.440 about that

00:19:41.040 but that's also

00:19:43.180 really we should

00:19:44.580 be talking

00:19:44.940 in a past tense

00:19:45.780 because they've

00:19:46.240 already done it

00:19:46.840 you know

00:19:48.000 they've already

00:19:48.300 succeeded

00:19:48.680 they have

00:19:50.300 taken over

00:19:50.700 the institutions

00:19:51.300 they have

00:19:51.840 delegitimized

00:19:52.540 our history

00:19:53.040 they've gone

00:19:55.020 through at will

00:19:55.860 and torn down

00:19:56.360 the statues

00:19:56.780 and monuments

00:19:57.360 and more

00:20:00.000 importantly

00:20:00.440 they've

00:20:01.100 they have

00:20:01.820 managed

00:20:02.900 to reshape

00:20:04.740 the way that

00:20:05.460 especially our

00:20:06.040 kids view

00:20:06.780 their own

00:20:07.440 history

00:20:07.820 and now

00:20:10.340 many kids

00:20:10.800 today

00:20:11.160 see

00:20:12.240 American history

00:20:13.260 not as something

00:20:13.820 to be proud of

00:20:14.500 but as something

00:20:15.120 that's a source

00:20:16.180 of great shame

00:20:16.920 and guilt

00:20:17.380 something that

00:20:19.340 we cannot

00:20:19.740 it's offensive

00:20:20.520 to celebrate it

00:20:21.380 so the point

00:20:23.480 is this has

00:20:24.320 already happened

00:20:24.940 and it's

00:20:27.560 important for us

00:20:28.280 to realize that

00:20:29.260 and acknowledge it

00:20:29.960 not so that we

00:20:30.600 can fall into

00:20:31.840 despair and say

00:20:32.600 oh woe is me 0.99

00:20:33.220 we're beat

00:20:33.700 but we have to

00:20:35.380 understand that

00:20:35.840 this is not

00:20:36.260 that's why I say

00:20:36.660 we're going on

00:20:37.060 the offensive

00:20:37.460 it's too late

00:20:40.320 for to take

00:20:40.980 a defensive posture

00:20:41.820 it's too late

00:20:42.940 to say oh we

00:20:43.400 have to defend

00:20:46.200 we have to defend

00:20:47.320 our institutions

00:20:48.480 it's too late

00:20:50.860 for that

00:20:51.220 they have the

00:20:52.800 institutions

00:20:53.120 we can't defend

00:20:53.660 them

00:20:53.920 now it's a matter

00:20:55.600 of taking them

00:20:56.220 back

00:20:56.560 so even if we

00:20:59.480 wanted to

00:20:59.880 I think conservatives

00:21:00.700 for decades

00:21:01.840 took a defensive

00:21:02.660 posture

00:21:03.160 while the left

00:21:06.280 was on the

00:21:06.680 offense

00:21:07.100 and we saw

00:21:09.360 what happened

00:21:09.860 they won

00:21:10.780 and now it's

00:21:12.620 too late

00:21:13.100 to be defensive

00:21:13.640 the fort

00:21:15.580 has been taken

00:21:16.260 now we're on

00:21:18.280 the outside

00:21:18.700 and we have

00:21:19.040 to take it

00:21:19.340 back

00:21:19.560 and so I

00:21:20.420 see this

00:21:20.760 not as a

00:21:21.100 defensive move

00:21:21.740 but an

00:21:22.400 offensive move

00:21:22.960 and that's

00:21:23.160 exactly what

00:21:23.520 we need

00:21:23.800 okay next

00:21:24.860 from the

00:21:25.480 daily wire

00:21:26.080 it says

00:21:26.320 the CEOs

00:21:26.820 of two of

00:21:27.260 America's

00:21:27.660 largest airlines

00:21:28.500 said this

00:21:28.920 week that

00:21:29.220 they do not

00:21:29.860 believe that

00:21:30.840 the Biden

00:21:31.100 administration's

00:21:31.680 continued mask

00:21:32.400 mandate

00:21:32.740 requiring travelers

00:21:33.680 to wear masks

00:21:34.340 while flying

00:21:34.960 serves much

00:21:35.500 benefit

00:21:35.860 considering the

00:21:36.380 fact that

00:21:36.980 airplanes have

00:21:37.660 advanced

00:21:38.100 filtration

00:21:38.620 systems that

00:21:39.580 remove nearly

00:21:40.100 all airborne

00:21:40.800 contamination

00:21:41.340 from the

00:21:41.860 cabin

00:21:42.120 the comments

00:21:43.540 from American

00:21:43.940 Airlines CEO

00:21:44.600 Doug Parker

00:21:45.240 and Southwest

00:21:45.660 Airlines CEO

00:21:46.360 Gary Kelly

00:21:47.720 came on

00:21:48.280 Wednesday during

00:21:49.480 a Senate

00:21:49.760 committee hearing

00:21:50.340 on the financial

00:21:50.900 support the

00:21:51.400 industry received

00:21:52.140 during the

00:21:52.560 pandemic

00:21:52.960 CNN reported

00:21:54.120 both Kelly

00:21:54.660 and Parker

00:21:55.080 who each

00:21:55.480 have announced

00:21:55.980 plans to retire

00:21:56.900 as CEOs

00:21:57.260 in the coming

00:21:57.580 months

00:21:57.800 mentioned that

00:21:58.840 high-grade

00:21:59.380 HEPA air

00:22:00.120 filters on

00:22:00.680 planes capture

00:22:01.340 virtually all

00:22:02.020 airborne

00:22:02.360 contamination

00:22:02.960 and air

00:22:03.820 quality is

00:22:04.240 helped by

00:22:04.760 how frequently

00:22:05.660 cabin air is

00:22:06.360 exchanged with

00:22:06.980 fresh air from

00:22:07.600 outside the

00:22:08.060 cabin

00:22:08.280 Kelly said

00:22:09.660 I think the

00:22:10.680 case is very

00:22:11.080 strong that

00:22:11.500 masks don't

00:22:12.080 add much

00:22:12.700 if anything

00:22:13.220 in the air

00:22:13.620 cabin environment

00:22:14.280 is very safe

00:22:15.620 and very high

00:22:16.100 quality compared

00:22:16.740 to any other

00:22:17.580 indoor setting

00:22:18.500 Parker agreed

00:22:20.860 saying I

00:22:21.300 concur an

00:22:21.720 aircraft is the

00:22:22.860 safest place you

00:22:23.560 can be

00:22:23.920 Parker added

00:22:25.500 it's true all

00:22:26.220 of our aircraft

00:22:26.880 they all have

00:22:27.340 the same HEPA

00:22:27.960 filters and

00:22:28.620 airflow

00:22:29.000 so what does

00:22:32.780 that mean

00:22:32.980 it means that

00:22:33.580 the despite

00:22:34.640 common misperceptions

00:22:35.980 about airplanes

00:22:36.580 because you kind

00:22:37.100 of think of it

00:22:37.540 as you're stuck

00:22:38.600 in this metal

00:22:39.700 tube with a

00:22:41.120 hundred other

00:22:41.580 people in close

00:22:42.520 proximity you're

00:22:43.240 all packed in

00:22:43.740 there like

00:22:44.040 sardines breathing

00:22:45.220 each other's air

00:22:46.020 that's not the

00:22:47.180 case at all

00:22:47.560 because you're

00:22:48.120 35,000 feet in

00:22:49.060 the air and

00:22:51.540 they're filtering

00:22:52.480 and cleaning that 0.98

00:22:53.240 air aggressively

00:22:53.920 much more than

00:22:55.860 any other indoor

00:22:56.580 environment and

00:22:58.100 then you've got

00:22:58.440 the air from the

00:22:58.940 outside that's

00:22:59.580 filtered in which

00:23:00.720 is 35,000 feet

00:23:01.780 in the air so

00:23:02.320 it's very clean

00:23:02.780 so you've got

00:23:04.640 this really clean

00:23:05.480 air on airplanes

00:23:06.180 actually

00:23:06.700 by putting the

00:23:08.540 masks on

00:23:09.240 now you're

00:23:10.540 breathing your

00:23:11.280 own air back

00:23:12.120 in

00:23:12.380 so you could

00:23:14.580 argue

00:23:15.200 that you're

00:23:17.240 getting dirtier

00:23:18.240 air than you

00:23:19.280 would otherwise

00:23:19.720 if you just

00:23:20.280 didn't have the

00:23:20.620 mask on

00:23:20.920 you could argue

00:23:21.560 that

00:23:21.840 it would seem

00:23:23.120 that these

00:23:23.440 airline CEOs

00:23:24.140 are arguing

00:23:24.660 that

00:23:24.960 there's

00:23:29.940 it would seem

00:23:30.980 they're arguing

00:23:31.680 what they are

00:23:32.560 saying just to

00:23:32.980 be clear to

00:23:33.360 YouTube

00:23:33.560 what these

00:23:34.460 airline CEOs

00:23:35.240 are saying

00:23:35.820 is that the

00:23:36.500 masks are

00:23:37.460 basically

00:23:37.760 pointless on

00:23:38.440 the airplane

00:23:38.860 but we are

00:23:43.400 being conditioned

00:23:44.080 to do things

00:23:46.600 that don't make

00:23:47.340 sense

00:23:47.660 as we know

00:23:50.040 as we've talked

00:23:50.680 about for months

00:23:51.180 this is about

00:23:52.220 power

00:23:52.620 we are conditioned

00:23:54.740 to do things that

00:23:55.440 don't make sense

00:23:56.120 for reasons that

00:23:57.160 nobody can explain

00:23:58.120 simply because we're

00:24:00.180 told to do them

00:24:00.940 and nowhere is

00:24:04.160 that more

00:24:04.620 obvious and

00:24:05.480 pronounced than

00:24:06.080 on an airplane

00:24:06.880 where you're

00:24:09.660 sitting there

00:24:10.120 and this is also

00:24:10.660 by the way

00:24:11.000 completely changed

00:24:12.080 the employee

00:24:12.880 customer relationship

00:24:14.040 in a lot of

00:24:14.660 different ways

00:24:15.140 and none of them

00:24:16.100 good ways

00:24:16.560 because now

00:24:18.340 flight attendants

00:24:19.220 in the past

00:24:19.840 the flight attendant

00:24:20.500 is there to

00:24:22.180 you're the customer

00:24:23.060 you're paying a lot

00:24:24.080 of money to be

00:24:24.560 on that plane

00:24:25.060 and in the past

00:24:28.060 the flight attendant

00:24:28.600 is there to serve

00:24:30.000 you and to help

00:24:31.940 you it's a flight

00:24:33.520 attendant they are

00:24:34.360 there to attend

00:24:35.160 to you that's why

00:24:36.900 they're there in

00:24:38.180 the past and now

00:24:40.320 they become these

00:24:41.000 kind of hectoring

00:24:41.800 browbeating authority

00:24:42.920 figures if you've

00:24:45.080 been on a plane at

00:24:45.740 any point in the

00:24:46.180 last two years you

00:24:46.800 know this this is

00:24:47.380 the main thing that

00:24:48.220 flight attendants do

00:24:48.940 now this is their

00:24:49.740 primary occupation is

00:24:51.780 mask enforcement and

00:24:53.060 so they're walking

00:24:53.760 through and some

00:24:55.440 flight attendants are

00:24:56.320 more relaxed about it

00:24:57.400 than others in my

00:24:59.000 experience most are

00:24:59.880 not relaxed and

00:25:03.140 they're just walking

00:25:03.680 through and they're

00:25:04.240 in force and they're

00:25:04.780 yelling at you about

00:25:05.340 masks that's that's

00:25:06.580 primarily what they're

00:25:07.400 doing and they're

00:25:10.660 even keeping track you

00:25:11.960 know they're like they

00:25:12.660 have a stop watch out

00:25:13.680 basically because you

00:25:16.340 can turn you can pull

00:25:17.200 the mask down to eat

00:25:18.200 but they want to make

00:25:19.160 sure that it's not down

00:25:20.340 for I saw someone get

00:25:21.520 yelled at for that in

00:25:22.860 my last flight a guy

00:25:25.660 pulled his mask down

00:25:26.640 was eating but you're

00:25:29.160 supposed to pull the

00:25:29.600 mask back up in

00:25:30.540 between bites and he

00:25:32.660 actually got yelled at

00:25:33.480 about that I've been

00:25:36.080 yelled at because you

00:25:37.080 know originally I had

00:25:38.180 made the mistake the

00:25:39.900 awful transgression of

00:25:41.320 when it was time to

00:25:43.300 eat you know I would

00:25:44.600 just take I took the

00:25:45.520 mask off completely so

00:25:46.720 that I could enjoy my

00:25:47.700 meal without this

00:25:48.580 chinged with without a

00:25:49.980 pointless chin strap on

00:25:51.200 and I was told no you

00:25:52.600 can't take it off

00:25:53.080 completely you have to

00:25:53.620 just pull it down it has

00:25:55.920 to be right over the

00:25:56.620 chin that that keep

00:26:00.020 other people safe from

00:26:01.820 your chin fumes or

00:26:03.300 something I don't know

00:26:03.960 and that's what that's

00:26:06.500 what flight attendants do 0.98

00:26:07.160 now they they have

00:26:08.260 become these authority

00:26:09.120 figures and so the

00:26:11.640 whole experience now

00:26:12.820 flying is just you go

00:26:16.680 through TSA you're

00:26:18.660 treated like a

00:26:19.280 suspected criminal like a

00:26:21.780 terrorist just because

00:26:22.780 you want to get on a

00:26:23.380 flight they could pat

00:26:26.120 you down send you

00:26:26.960 through all this kind

00:26:27.740 they're yelling at you

00:26:28.360 through and then you

00:26:29.440 get on the plane and

00:26:30.400 you're treated like a

00:26:31.500 biological hazard and

00:26:34.700 this whole time you are

00:26:35.920 paying exorbitant amounts

00:26:38.100 of money for this

00:26:38.900 experience to get

00:26:40.920 treated like dirt and

00:26:43.260 filth and all of this

00:26:46.060 is in service at least

00:26:48.000 when it comes to the

00:26:48.500 masks it's in service of

00:26:50.420 something that doesn't

00:26:51.160 make really any sense or

00:26:53.120 at least nobody can

00:26:53.840 explain a big thing on

00:26:56.800 on the planes also is

00:26:58.300 and they're very strict

00:26:58.920 about this in my

00:26:59.680 experience if you have

00:27:01.740 your nose peeking out

00:27:02.860 over the mask that's

00:27:03.700 inappropriate that's

00:27:05.740 a that is not the

00:27:07.100 appropriate way to wear

00:27:08.400 a mask and they'll let

00:27:09.440 you know I mean why

00:27:12.240 does it matter nobody

00:27:14.340 can explain that like at

00:27:17.500 worst if I have my mask

00:27:18.800 on and my nose is

00:27:20.940 peeking out so I so I

00:27:22.220 can breathe God

00:27:23.140 forbid at worst I have

00:27:26.740 what put myself in

00:27:28.380 danger is there much

00:27:30.680 of a risk that through

00:27:31.880 the air I'm breathing

00:27:33.060 out of my nose I'm

00:27:34.060 going to infect somebody

00:27:35.220 else especially if

00:27:37.260 they're wearing their

00:27:37.940 mask properly what are

00:27:41.480 the chances of that

00:27:42.260 statistically but I

00:27:44.580 could infect somebody

00:27:45.500 else with just through

00:27:47.400 the air through my

00:27:48.900 nostrils not saying

00:27:52.020 it's impossible what

00:27:52.800 are the chances so

00:27:56.000 there's no one can

00:27:56.920 explain that either but

00:27:59.340 this is part of the

00:27:59.840 conditioning can't

00:28:02.360 explain it doesn't make

00:28:04.240 a lot of sense but do

00:28:06.540 it anyway and you see

00:28:07.440 this is the this is not

00:28:09.420 supposed to be the

00:28:09.940 relationship between a

00:28:11.220 customer and employee

00:28:11.980 this is also not

00:28:13.840 supposed to be the

00:28:14.400 relationship between a

00:28:15.500 citizen and a

00:28:16.620 government you know

00:28:18.980 what this is this is

00:28:19.700 the relationship between

00:28:20.740 a young child and his

00:28:22.440 parents that's the

00:28:24.700 relationship when you've

00:28:28.100 got with very young

00:28:29.280 children they don't

00:28:30.180 understand anything

00:28:31.160 nothing makes sense to

00:28:32.140 them you can try to

00:28:33.560 explain why certain

00:28:35.040 rules are put in

00:28:35.740 place but their ability

00:28:38.160 to comprehend your

00:28:39.460 reasons are the

00:28:41.640 ability is very limited

00:28:42.480 so you could say to a

00:28:44.720 two-year-old for example

00:28:45.720 as we all have said to

00:28:46.800 two-year-olds don't run

00:28:48.400 in the street why well

00:28:50.420 because a car will hit

00:28:51.160 you why don't I want a

00:28:53.560 car to hit me because 0.98

00:28:54.560 you could die what does 0.98

00:28:56.280 death mean well two-year-old

00:28:57.280 doesn't even understand

00:28:57.860 what death is a two-year-old

00:28:59.840 doesn't know that death is

00:29:00.880 is permanent they think

00:29:03.700 well you die and you wake 0.70

00:29:04.920 up tomorrow and 0.99

00:29:05.340 everything's fine so very

00:29:08.460 young children have to be 1.00

00:29:11.140 conditioned in a certain

00:29:12.160 way to obey rules that

00:29:14.700 they don't understand and

00:29:17.160 just to obey them based

00:29:19.240 on the trust they have

00:29:21.100 and the respect they have

00:29:21.980 for their the authority

00:29:23.020 figures in their lives

00:29:23.780 their parents but even

00:29:26.900 even even the the parent

00:29:28.580 child relationship even

00:29:29.860 that relationship is

00:29:30.920 supposed to evolve and

00:29:32.220 mature over time as the

00:29:34.440 kids grow a little bit

00:29:35.160 older and they can

00:29:35.820 understand the reasons for

00:29:37.240 these rules and you start

00:29:38.640 explaining it to them

00:29:39.440 because it's important

00:29:40.100 that they know the

00:29:40.620 reasons so it's not even

00:29:45.360 that that we are being

00:29:47.000 treated like children

00:29:48.480 generally it's we're being

00:29:49.900 treated like toddlers our

00:29:53.980 relationship now with the

00:29:55.840 employees on an airplane or

00:29:57.700 the government is that

00:29:58.640 between is like that

00:30:00.080 between a parent and like a

00:30:01.360 two-year-old we're not

00:30:04.020 going to explain it to you

00:30:04.800 nobody can explain it but do

00:30:06.880 it anyway all right now

00:30:09.420 we go to michael mann who's

00:30:11.200 a climate activist who

00:30:12.420 pretends to be a scientist

00:30:13.360 and who has blocked me on

00:30:14.900 twitter by the way i just

00:30:15.940 discovered and very torn up

00:30:18.500 about that he was on tv

00:30:19.600 explaining why climate

00:30:20.700 denialism is dangerous and

00:30:22.980 must be censored there's not

00:30:24.420 enough censorship in the

00:30:25.160 world today and he wants

00:30:26.700 more of it let's listen

00:30:27.520 now it's time for you to

00:30:30.100 remove climate denial videos

00:30:31.860 they pose an even greater

00:30:33.240 threat to humanity in the

00:30:34.840 long term explain yeah that's

00:30:38.600 right i mean climate change

00:30:39.980 uh you know here we saw

00:30:41.700 nearly a hundred people uh

00:30:43.200 die from these unprecedented

00:30:45.560 tornadoes uh but if you look

00:30:48.060 at the the total impact of

00:30:50.860 climate change around the

00:30:52.300 world um wildfires droughts

00:30:55.140 floods heat waves coastal

00:30:57.080 inundation climate change is

00:30:59.780 already costing far more lives

00:31:01.680 than covet 19 it is deadlier and

00:31:04.480 so the denial of climate change

00:31:06.600 is deadlier even than the

00:31:08.420 denial of the the basic

00:31:10.580 science behind covet 19 but

00:31:13.480 here's the difference there

00:31:15.380 isn't a huge global lobby the

00:31:19.340 world's most powerful industry

00:31:21.420 wealthiest and most powerful

00:31:23.080 industry the fossil fuel

00:31:24.900 industry that has a stake in the

00:31:27.240 covet 19 debate um so it's

00:31:30.440 fairly easy for these big tech

00:31:32.200 companies these social media

00:31:33.580 companies to stop you know

00:31:36.340 showing covid denial for

00:31:39.160 suppressing covid denial videos

00:31:41.600 and and posts um there isn't a

00:31:43.880 huge corporate interest that's

00:31:45.780 going to get in their way with

00:31:47.740 climate change it's a whole

00:31:48.820 different story we are talking

00:31:50.760 about an effort by the world's

00:31:52.800 largest most powerful industry the

00:31:54.960 fossil fuel industry to prevent any

00:31:57.280 meaningful action on climate and

00:31:59.500 to accomplish that in part by using

00:32:02.400 social media to promote denialism and

00:32:05.800 dismissal and here the social media

00:32:09.280 companies are being complicit

00:32:10.880 yeah well climate denialism is uh i

00:32:14.740 continue to agree that climate

00:32:16.800 denialism is a big problem if there

00:32:21.780 are people out there who are denying

00:32:23.740 climate denying that the climate exists

00:32:28.300 well that's i'm not sure i see the

00:32:31.760 what sort of greater impact that can

00:32:33.660 have on society but i think it's hard

00:32:35.040 to function as a as a as a person in

00:32:37.460 the world if you deny that the climate

00:32:38.800 exists so that's and even climate

00:32:41.900 change denial i don't agree with that

00:32:44.680 either if if there's anyone out there

00:32:48.280 denying that the climate changes well

00:32:52.240 that that person i think that person

00:32:54.700 needs to needs to uh needs to wake up i

00:32:56.740 agree with that the problem is i don't

00:33:00.120 think there is anyone in that category

00:33:01.940 i don't think anyone denies the

00:33:03.520 climate i don't think anyone denies

00:33:05.000 that climate changes i think i think

00:33:07.860 everyone all adults anyway understand

00:33:09.900 that uh there is a climate and it

00:33:12.420 changes all the time i mean the climate

00:33:14.180 is always changing it changes over the

00:33:17.400 course of a day it changes drastically

00:33:20.520 over the course of centuries and

00:33:21.900 millennia the question is what is

00:33:25.220 causing that change

00:33:26.220 and when we look at the causes you know

00:33:30.840 to each individual cause to what degree

00:33:33.620 can we blame those causes

00:33:35.960 and the question is also whether this is

00:33:39.760 in fact an apocalyptic scenario and

00:33:42.260 we're all going to be dead in 10 years

00:33:43.680 or drowned because the polar ice caps

00:33:45.240 melt or whatever

00:33:45.840 so that's the issue um he says that this

00:33:50.920 is this is what we're experiencing now

00:33:52.800 the weather is unprecedented well we've

00:33:54.360 already talked about that that's total

00:33:55.820 nonsense

00:33:56.300 that that's a claim that you that we

00:34:01.060 actually know is not true

00:34:02.440 take the tornado for example

00:34:04.940 we know that a hundred years ago

00:34:08.060 because there are records we know that

00:34:10.060 a hundred years ago there were there

00:34:11.340 were worse tornadoes more people dying

00:34:13.400 from tornadoes

00:34:14.480 even though again there were fewer

00:34:17.260 people

00:34:17.800 the the population was less dense in

00:34:22.080 more ways than one by the way

00:34:23.320 and yet more people died

00:34:25.580 but it's also

00:34:28.540 to make this kind of statement to call

00:34:31.680 it unprecedented

00:34:32.480 and he means it he means in history

00:34:34.820 there's just no way to support that

00:34:39.600 we know it's not true because we have

00:34:42.240 on record worse storms

00:34:43.720 um but even if we didn't have that on

00:34:47.820 record

00:34:48.120 the mass the vast majority of of uh you

00:34:53.520 know of the earth's history we don't

00:34:55.740 have reliable records for individual

00:34:59.820 weather events

00:35:00.620 as i said a few days ago who who knows

00:35:04.740 what the tornado situation was in the

00:35:06.660 continental u.s. 500 years ago

00:35:08.940 there was nobody around to keep records

00:35:12.460 there were people around but they weren't

00:35:13.580 keeping records

00:35:14.160 not that we can rely on anyway

00:35:17.100 so you can't possibly say that

00:35:19.920 and then as in

00:35:20.760 as far as uh

00:35:22.220 of course more censorship

00:35:24.440 shutting down dissent

00:35:25.560 this is not science

00:35:26.480 and it could be

00:35:30.040 hard to you know that's something we

00:35:31.440 have to keep in mind

00:35:32.000 it can be it can be easy to to forget

00:35:33.660 because we're so used to this now

00:35:35.740 especially over the last two years

00:35:37.040 people who

00:35:37.520 pretend to be scientific authorities

00:35:39.480 um treating those who disagree with

00:35:43.740 them as

00:35:44.660 terrorists

00:35:47.180 as a danger a threat

00:35:49.260 but that's how you know someone's not

00:35:52.920 a real scientist

00:35:53.420 i don't know anything about this guy

00:35:56.000 but i feel comfortable putting

00:35:57.460 sarcastic air quotes around

00:35:59.120 scientists for him

00:36:00.140 because scientists don't do that

00:36:02.560 part of the scientific process

00:36:06.880 dissent

00:36:07.740 disagreement

00:36:08.980 is an essential part of the scientific process

00:36:12.220 so anyone who says

00:36:16.040 this is um

00:36:17.100 the official

00:36:17.780 scientific stance

00:36:19.820 on this particular issue

00:36:20.960 and you're not allowed to have a different position

00:36:24.040 anyone who says that by definition

00:36:26.960 is not a scientist

00:36:27.680 all right moving on

00:36:29.420 it may actually come as a surprise to some people

00:36:30.980 to learn that members of congress

00:36:32.420 are not banned

00:36:33.600 from trading stocks

00:36:34.760 while they are in office

00:36:35.940 now it

00:36:37.160 seems clear that they should be

00:36:38.840 given the power that they have

00:36:40.540 over the economy

00:36:41.320 and over the stock market

00:36:43.080 to be able to profit

00:36:44.720 in that way

00:36:45.420 just breeds corruption

00:36:46.580 but uh they're not banned

00:36:49.380 is there any good reason

00:36:51.020 why

00:36:51.580 members of congress

00:36:53.080 should be allowed to trade stocks

00:36:54.540 personally

00:36:55.060 individually

00:36:55.520 while they're in congress

00:36:56.500 well nancy pelosi was asked about this yesterday

00:36:58.400 from the only reporter

00:36:59.460 who ever asks uh real questions

00:37:01.540 and let's find out

00:37:02.640 if there is a good reason

00:37:03.480 let's let's find out

00:37:04.740 um

00:37:05.560 madam speaker

00:37:06.120 uh insider just completed

00:37:07.680 a five-month investigation

00:37:09.040 finding that 49 members of congress

00:37:11.140 and 182 senior congressional staffers

00:37:13.780 have violated the stock act

00:37:15.140 um

00:37:15.680 the insider trading law

00:37:16.560 i'm wondering if you have any reaction to that

00:37:18.660 and secondly

00:37:19.360 should members of congress

00:37:20.520 and their spouses

00:37:21.280 be banned from trading individual stocks

00:37:24.160 while serving in congress

00:37:25.120 no i don't know to this

00:37:26.720 second one

00:37:27.480 um

00:37:28.300 any

00:37:29.300 we have a responsibility

00:37:30.620 to report

00:37:31.460 in the stock

00:37:32.740 on the stock

00:37:33.920 but i don't

00:37:34.540 i'm not familiar with that

00:37:35.780 five-month

00:37:36.620 review

00:37:37.600 but if

00:37:38.220 people aren't reporting

00:37:39.820 they should be

00:37:41.200 because

00:37:43.840 this is a free market

00:37:45.280 and people

00:37:45.860 we are a free market economy

00:37:48.600 they should be able to participate

00:37:49.940 in that

00:37:50.580 oh

00:37:52.300 now she cares about the free market

00:37:54.460 when's the last time you heard nancy pelosi 0.99

00:37:57.100 even say the

00:37:58.240 the phrase

00:37:59.720 free market

00:38:00.560 i think it's the first time i've heard it

00:38:04.380 it sounds odd

00:38:05.340 coming out of her mouth

00:38:06.120 everything sounds odd

00:38:07.300 coming out of her mouth

00:38:07.940 um

00:38:09.120 but especially that

00:38:10.780 well this is a free market

00:38:12.200 people should be free to participate

00:38:14.220 oh really nancy

00:38:15.820 interesting that you feel that way now

00:38:18.020 when it comes to politicians

00:38:20.240 profiting

00:38:21.260 uh

00:38:21.940 that's when we care about the free market

00:38:23.240 not for any other reason

00:38:24.120 great

00:38:24.480 makes a lot of sense

00:38:25.320 okay let's get now to the comment section

00:38:27.440 daily cancellations

00:38:29.200 are the law and order of the day

00:38:48.080 you know

00:38:48.380 leave money on the table

00:38:50.780 with everything being so expensive

00:39:43.060 i love that although matt hated amazon

00:39:44.860 for taking his book off the lgbt charts

00:39:46.880 he still defended amazon against ignorance

00:39:54.840 i just 1.00

00:39:56.540 even more than i hate 1.00

00:39:57.840 amazon

00:39:58.660 i guess

00:39:59.260 and so

00:40:01.560 when i hear people saying

00:40:02.880 that

00:40:03.360 amazon

00:40:04.060 when there was a tornado warning

00:40:06.580 and funnel clouds have been spotted

00:40:08.720 that amazon should have sent their employees

00:40:11.100 out to the parking lot

00:40:12.540 to get in cars

00:40:13.320 and drive away

00:40:14.120 um 1.00

00:40:15.400 that's stupidity 1.00

00:40:17.420 and uh 1.00

00:40:17.920 i do hate that

00:40:18.700 i also hate that i have to

00:40:20.620 defend amazon 1.00

00:40:45.680 cult leader

00:40:46.200 this dude's all over the board

00:40:47.940 but the sbg just

00:40:48.920 blindly follows him

00:40:50.380 i can't

00:40:52.700 i can't disagree with that assessment either

00:40:54.240 but that's

00:40:56.180 part of the cult thing right

00:40:58.260 like we talked about

00:40:59.180 just following blindly

00:41:00.180 you don't understand

00:41:02.360 the reason for anything

00:41:03.560 but you

00:41:03.860 you follow

00:41:04.360 i'm learning

00:41:06.980 you know

00:41:07.300 as an aspiring cult leader

00:41:08.640 this has been a very fruitful time

00:41:10.360 the last couple of years

00:41:11.240 because i can look at other cult leaders

00:41:14.080 like anthony fauci for example

00:42:26.800 and i've already talked

00:42:28.580 to jeremy about her

00:42:29.340 and her last day

00:42:29.960 will be tomorrow

00:42:30.520 sorry you had to find out

00:42:32.340 this way mckenna

00:42:32.840 david says

00:42:34.880 is it bad to wish

00:42:35.920 that bad things

00:42:36.700 happen to an evil person

00:42:37.940 that man swimming

00:42:39.060 in a women's race 0.54

00:42:39.820 is evil

00:42:40.360 no i actually

00:42:42.100 don't think

00:42:42.480 that it is

00:42:43.300 i know for

00:42:46.200 for a lot of christians

00:42:47.260 it's going to sound

00:42:48.640 scandalous to them

00:42:49.380 that i said that

00:42:49.940 but

00:42:50.160 to wish that bad things

00:42:52.180 happen to a bad person

00:42:53.240 i i don't think

00:42:54.300 that that's

00:42:54.640 that that is bad

00:42:55.540 i don't think

00:42:56.760 it's unchristian either

00:42:57.640 because you know

00:42:59.680 what that is

00:43:00.200 that's a desire

00:43:00.980 for justice

00:43:01.720 now if somebody

00:43:04.960 cuts you off in traffic

00:43:06.660 and now you

00:43:08.220 are hoping 0.98

00:43:09.360 that they get hit 0.66

00:43:10.240 by a mac truck

00:43:11.000 and everybody in the car

00:43:12.080 dies

00:43:12.600 well that's a problem

00:43:15.040 because that's not

00:43:16.600 that's not justice

00:43:17.400 that would be a

00:43:19.240 that would be a

00:43:19.800 a very disproportionate

00:43:21.480 you know

00:43:21.940 punishment

00:43:23.080 for cutting somebody

00:43:23.980 off in traffic

00:43:24.500 but if you are

00:43:26.700 desiring

00:43:27.900 a proportionate

00:43:29.160 proportional

00:43:30.100 i should say

00:43:30.960 punishment

00:43:31.640 for evil acts

00:43:32.880 that are done

00:43:33.460 then then

00:43:34.800 i i think

00:43:35.360 not only is that

00:43:36.240 not non-christian

00:43:37.360 not only is it

00:43:37.920 not bad

00:43:38.600 but it's good

00:43:39.620 i think that if you

00:43:42.840 if you don't wish

00:43:43.980 for bad things

00:43:44.880 to happen

00:43:45.220 to bad people

00:43:45.900 in that way

00:43:46.640 for them to

00:43:47.100 suffer proportional

00:43:47.920 punishments

00:43:48.500 for the wrongs

00:43:49.300 that they've

00:43:49.600 committed

00:43:49.800 if you don't

00:43:51.340 wish that

00:43:51.780 then i think

00:43:52.240 that's not charity

00:43:54.380 that's indifference

00:43:57.420 that i think

00:43:58.740 is apathy

00:43:59.280 and that's another

00:44:02.080 problem that we

00:44:02.600 have i think

00:44:03.000 in the church

00:44:03.380 is that very

00:44:03.940 often apathy

00:44:04.800 and indifference

00:44:05.580 are confused

00:44:06.440 with tolerance

00:44:07.440 and you know

00:44:09.440 kindness and charity

00:44:12.100 so a desire

00:44:14.960 for justice

00:44:15.500 is a very good

00:44:16.020 thing

00:44:16.160 and if and if

00:44:16.680 and if you

00:44:17.040 don't believe me

00:44:17.920 then go to

00:44:19.300 the bible

00:44:19.820 always a good

00:44:21.240 source for these

00:44:21.780 things

00:44:22.040 an even better

00:44:23.340 source than the

00:44:23.840 matt walsh show

00:44:24.340 go to the bible 0.98

00:44:25.260 especially the old

00:44:25.800 testament

00:44:26.080 and especially

00:44:27.160 the psalms

00:44:27.960 and you're going

00:44:29.280 to find one

00:44:30.080 psalm after another

00:44:31.400 dedicated to

00:44:33.240 uh wishing

00:44:34.460 that ill

00:44:36.420 befalls

00:44:37.240 evildoers

00:44:37.920 there are many

00:44:40.340 many beautiful

00:44:41.040 psalms and

00:44:41.800 other portions

00:44:42.540 of the bible

00:44:42.980 dedicated exactly

00:44:44.300 to that

00:44:44.680 so not only

00:44:45.860 can you wish

00:44:46.360 it but you

00:44:46.580 can pray for

00:44:47.140 it

00:44:47.340 you can pray

00:44:49.000 for evildoers 0.84

00:44:49.640 to be punished

00:44:50.180 and you should

00:44:50.880 the daily wire

00:46:32.840 of kind

00:46:33.400 of a

00:46:33.540 discussion

00:47:50.680 jen pisaki just 0.50

00:47:51.660 yesterday raised

00:47:52.400 the issue of

00:47:53.000 greedy meat

00:47:53.620 conglomerates

00:47:54.320 as she explained

00:47:55.540 big meat is

00:47:56.300 responsible for

00:47:56.980 much of the

00:47:57.320 inflation that

00:47:58.440 we're seeing at

00:47:58.860 the grocery store

00:47:59.520 and joe biden

00:48:00.280 fortunately has

00:48:00.980 kamala harris to

00:48:01.740 tackle that problem

00:48:02.380 which is good

00:48:02.860 because we know

00:48:03.360 that she can

00:48:03.720 handle big meat 0.88

00:48:04.340 but even so

00:48:05.600 despite how useful

00:48:06.860 she might be 0.85

00:48:07.500 i have to cancel

00:48:08.520 her and i'm

00:48:09.960 canceling her for

00:48:10.660 this speech which

00:48:11.580 she gave during a

00:48:12.300 holiday fundraiser for

00:48:13.240 the dnc it's

00:48:13.920 extremely shocking

00:48:14.880 objectionable but

00:48:17.560 take a listen

00:48:18.280 we must make it

00:48:21.380 clear democrats

00:48:23.960 stand for workers

00:48:25.100 rights we stand

00:48:26.160 for women's rights

00:48:26.920 and we believe that

00:48:27.720 the right of a

00:48:28.340 woman to make a 1.00

00:48:28.940 decision about her

00:48:29.700 own body is

00:48:30.380 non-negotiable

00:48:31.220 non-negotiable

00:48:37.420 democrats stand for

00:48:44.280 voting rights

00:48:45.080 and we are fighting

00:48:47.000 and we will continue

00:48:48.260 to fight to pass the

00:48:49.820 freedom to vote act

00:48:51.040 and the john lewis

00:48:52.220 voting rights advancing

00:48:53.400 we stand for dreamers

00:48:58.440 we stand for farm

00:49:00.060 workers we stand for

00:49:01.760 our lgbtq plus brothers

00:49:03.680 and sisters we stand

00:49:05.060 for people with

00:49:05.800 disabilities we stand

00:49:07.080 for our children and

00:49:08.260 the planet they will

00:49:09.320 inherit

00:49:09.920 now you might listen to

00:49:13.000 that and think that we

00:49:14.240 accidentally elected a

00:49:15.520 liberal fortune cookie

00:49:16.520 as vice president

00:49:17.280 indeed you might say

00:49:18.460 that kamala harris is

00:49:19.180 speaking in the ancient

00:49:20.080 and sacred language of

00:49:21.300 the bumper sticker but

00:49:22.700 there is something far

00:49:23.360 more sinister going on

00:49:24.340 here i think first of

00:49:26.200 all let's go through

00:49:26.720 this quite shockingly

00:49:28.400 kamala harris twice

00:49:30.040 mentions workers she

00:49:31.720 says we stand for

00:49:32.540 workers workers rights

00:49:34.320 farm workers rights

00:49:35.220 this is elitism and

00:49:37.200 classism as it excludes

00:49:39.080 those americans who do

00:49:39.980 not work and have never

00:49:40.880 worked and do not plan

00:49:41.760 on ever working this is

00:49:43.340 the democrat party's

00:49:44.200 most loyal and important

00:49:45.440 constituency and

00:49:46.620 kamala harris has

00:49:47.380 simply erased them from

00:49:48.740 existence in this speech

00:49:50.460 she didn't even bother

00:49:52.140 to mention the rights

00:49:53.080 of non-workers she's

00:49:55.100 pretending they don't

00:49:55.640 exist even though they

00:49:57.280 are the ones who put the

00:49:58.120 democrats in power to

00:49:58.820 begin with as if that

00:50:00.500 was not bad enough next

00:50:01.740 the vice president says

00:50:02.580 that we stand for

00:50:03.300 women's rights and the 1.00

00:50:04.340 rights of women to make 0.74

00:50:05.240 decisions about their

00:50:06.020 own bodies but obviously

00:50:08.640 what about the millions

00:50:09.480 of men who become

00:50:10.380 pregnant every year do

00:50:11.660 they not have rights

00:50:12.400 over their bodies should

00:50:14.180 we force all of these

00:50:15.220 distinguished pregnant

00:50:16.240 pregnant gentlemen in

00:50:17.360 the country to remain

00:50:18.480 pregnant against their 0.97

00:50:19.300 will apparently a man's

00:50:21.580 uterus is public

00:50:22.320 property according to

00:50:23.560 the vice president to

00:50:25.300 make matters worse

00:50:25.860 kamala harris talks

00:50:26.680 about our lgbtq plus

00:50:28.500 brothers and sisters

00:50:29.380 now we're going to try

00:50:31.080 to leave aside the fact

00:50:32.000 that the full initialism

00:50:33.260 is lgbtqqip2saa

00:50:35.820 now i know that may

00:50:37.360 sound like the kind of

00:50:38.180 random assortment of

00:50:39.040 letters and numbers that

00:50:39.820 you might use as a

00:50:40.520 password for your gmail

00:50:41.960 account and then

00:50:42.580 immediately forget the

00:50:43.360 next time you have to

00:50:43.900 sign in but it's not

00:50:45.220 that is indeed the full

00:50:46.660 acronym and yet harris

00:50:48.140 waves away the qip2saa 1.00

00:50:51.400 members of the

00:50:52.040 community and expects

00:50:53.760 them to make do with

00:50:54.640 oh you're the plus

00:50:55.680 all of those unique and

00:50:57.880 distinct and vibrant

00:50:58.860 identities have been

00:50:59.760 reduced to a mere plus

00:51:01.500 sign by kamala harris

00:51:03.020 the ps pansexuals the 0.75

00:51:05.660 two s's two spirits the

00:51:06.900 aas alcoholics anonymous

00:51:08.060 all of these marginalized

00:51:09.380 people have been further

00:51:10.940 marginalized by this

00:51:11.840 exclusion remember

00:51:13.080 something silence is

00:51:14.580 violence and if that was

00:51:16.640 not bad enough she 0.94

00:51:18.060 actually has the gall to

00:51:19.560 speak of lgbtq brothers

00:51:21.880 and sisters this kind of 0.98

00:51:24.400 gendered language has no 1.00

00:51:25.420 place in a progressive

00:51:26.120 society sure some members

00:51:27.340 of the community may

00:51:28.300 identify with the binary

00:51:29.600 concepts of brother and

00:51:30.740 sister but many exist

00:51:31.900 outside of that framework

00:51:32.780 entirely the more

00:51:34.460 gender neutral and thus

00:51:35.600 inclusive phrase would

00:51:36.740 have been lgbtqqip2saa

00:51:39.640 siblings or even better

00:51:41.640 lgbtqqip2saa individuals

00:51:44.640 of indeterminate gender

00:51:45.500 gender with whom we

00:51:46.580 share a common affection

00:51:47.380 traditionally associated

00:51:48.400 with the sibling

00:51:49.120 relationship is that so

00:51:51.620 hard to say well yeah

00:51:53.540 it was a little bit hard

00:51:54.260 to say actually finally

00:51:55.300 in her most appalling 0.91

00:51:56.540 act of rhetorical

00:51:57.580 brutality she actually 0.53

00:51:59.100 says she actually says

00:52:01.960 we stand for people

00:52:04.280 with disabilities we

00:52:06.300 stand well there are

00:52:08.140 some members of the

00:52:08.760 disabled community who

00:52:09.620 cannot stand in fact we

00:52:11.960 stand is ableist and

00:52:13.360 exclusionary language we

00:52:15.220 do not all stand we

00:52:16.680 cannot all stand and

00:52:18.180 there are those who

00:52:18.760 can who can theoretically

00:52:20.340 stand and even walk but

00:52:22.180 rarely choose to like

00:52:23.240 brian stelter for example

00:52:24.420 all of these people are

00:52:26.180 valid and their

00:52:26.920 experiences are valid yet

00:52:29.100 kamala harris deliberately

00:52:30.160 chooses language which

00:52:31.440 fails to legitimize their

00:52:32.900 lived experiences she may

00:52:35.340 have thought she was being

00:52:36.160 inspiring in her speech but

00:52:37.840 she used words that were

00:52:39.080 heteronormative ableist racist 1.00

00:52:41.700 sexist transphobic homophobic 1.00

00:52:43.500 elitist classes discriminatory 1.00

00:52:44.700 prejudice bigoted hateful and

00:52:46.340 traumatizing and i didn't

00:52:48.480 even mention the fact that

00:52:49.840 the word dreamers was used

00:52:51.500 and and has the effect of

00:52:53.660 otherizing those who identify

00:52:54.860 as insomniacs literally every

00:52:57.140 phrase she uttered was

00:52:58.460 problematic it's difficult to

00:53:01.020 describe the full emotional

00:53:02.240 toll that her words have taken

00:53:03.520 on the most marginalized and

00:53:05.220 vulnerable members of our

00:53:06.420 society i don't know if

00:53:08.100 they'll ever recover kamala

00:53:10.600 harris should be ashamed and

00:53:12.900 that is why today she is
