The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 993 - Environmentalism Gets Even More Genocidal

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, as climate change alarmists become more frantic about our alleged

00:00:04.720 impending doom, they have also started to sound more and more genocidal. We'll discuss. Plus,

00:00:09.360 the left now claims that abortion bans are a racist conspiracy to ensure that more white

00:00:14.340 babies are born. Of course, this claim completely contradicts all of the facts. And Tucker Carlson

00:00:18.620 is criticized for urging young people to get married and have kids, if you can imagine.

00:00:22.640 What a terrible thing. And our daily cancellation, a tragic story of sexism and patriarchy.

00:00:26.940 It'll be hard to talk about, but we must. All of that and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:40.420 Well, if you haven't looked over your budget in a while, now may be a good time. See what your

00:00:45.280 biggest expenses are, where you can cut back and find ways to make an impact. And now is definitely

00:00:50.700 the time to do that. If you're a homeowner, your equity is up 20% and it can be accessed as cash

00:00:55.960 for everything that you need. All you got to do if you want to access it is call American

00:01:00.580 Financing. You can get a free mortgage review and let them look at your entire financial picture.

00:01:05.540 It's so easy on your end. All you got to do is just give them a call from your home loan to your

00:01:09.660 equity, even your high interest debt. They'll review all of it and they'll do everything they can

00:01:14.460 to help you save up to $1,000 a month. Think of the difference that can make. We're all looking for

00:01:19.140 ways to save these days. And this is one way you can do it. Even if your credit isn't great,

00:01:24.080 just give them a call and see what they can do. I'm sure they can help you. It only takes 10 minutes

00:01:28.760 when you call. And what you have to call is the number 866-569-4711. That's 866-569-4711. Or visit

00:01:36.860 AmericanFinancing.net, NMLS, 182-334-NMLSConsumerAccess.org.

00:01:43.280 When I went to Africa visiting the Maasai tribe for my film, What is a Woman? I, of course,

00:01:48.520 discovered that gender theory simply doesn't exist in that part of the world at all. We had

00:01:52.640 so much to talk about around that subject that I didn't have time to ask them about other Western

00:01:57.560 liberal inventions, which is probably for the best because they already thought that I was insane

00:02:01.780 enough as it was. But I imagine that if I'd continued down the left-wing checklist, we would

00:02:06.920 have gotten the same guffaws and confused head-scratching and looks of pity. And this

00:02:12.100 includes, especially includes actually, the subject of environmentalism. I'm pretty certain that if I'd asked

00:02:17.100 them a sigh, how they feel about the environment and whether they identify as environmentalists,

00:02:22.600 the question would have made as much sense as asking them whether men can have babies.

00:02:26.780 And this would hold true all across the non-Western world. Like gender theory, environmentalism is a 0.99

00:02:32.040 modern liberal Western luxury belief system. And one that we've been hearing about more and more in

00:02:38.480 recent weeks as the left rediscovers the insidious phenomenon known as summer. That's not to say that

00:02:44.360 that people in non-Western regions don't respect nature or try to preserve its beauty and character.

00:02:49.700 I mean, the Maasai live much closer to nature, are much, much more in tune with it, dependent on it, 0.98

00:02:54.260 absorbed in it and by it, than the college-educated liberal who opines about the beauty of nature

00:02:59.720 from the comfort of his urban apartment, whose window provides him a view of concrete and steel

00:03:05.500 and glass and nothing that could be called natural at all. He loves nature, yet lives as far from it as

00:03:10.980 he can get. He takes pride in his quote-unquote green lifestyle, but the only green he sees is a

00:03:17.480 few tufts of grass on a median strip. He also may encounter the green hues of a Mountain Dew billboard

00:03:23.460 or of the various suspicious liquids on the sidewalk of unknown and unspeakable origins. He doesn't love

00:03:30.960 nature more than the people who actually live in it, but he has made an ism of it. And it's the ism

00:03:37.020 that is unique. It would be incoherent to most people in most parts of the world.

00:03:41.660 In fact, the ism, environmentalism, is incoherent to most people in this part of the world, too.

00:03:47.420 I mean, folks living out in the country have heard of environmentalism, but none of them identify with

00:03:52.440 it or buy it. Go out to the country, go out to a rural area and ask them, any environmentalists here,

00:03:57.680 you're going to get just blank stares. Environmentalism is an ideology for people who are

00:04:02.840 the most far removed and shielded from the environment and can therefore afford to fetishize

00:04:09.140 it. It's an ideology for people like George Monbiot. He's an author and an award-winning

00:04:15.260 journalist who has in recent years been on a crusade to save the environment by pushing for

00:04:20.200 the abolition of farming. He appeared on a news show in Ireland last week to deliver his

00:04:24.940 standard indictment of the practice. Let's listen to that.

00:04:27.940 It's by far and away the greatest cause of habitat destruction, the greatest cause of

00:04:33.020 wildlife loss, the greatest cause of extinction, greatest cause of soil loss, greatest cause

00:04:38.100 of fresh water use. It's one of the greatest causes of climate breakdown, bigger than transport,

00:04:45.300 one of the primary causes of water pollution and of air pollution. So it's right at the top.

00:04:50.860 Oh, and sorry, I forgot to say land use, the biggest issue of all. It's by far and away

00:04:55.820 the greatest form of land use that humans inflict on the planet, which means all that land is land

00:05:03.680 which can't be used for wild ecosystems. And while obviously we need farming, we need to minimize

00:05:09.260 those impacts. We need to act as drastically within that sector as any other sector to prevent the collapse

00:05:17.880 of our life support systems. And what that means above all else is getting out of livestock farming,

00:05:23.980 is really shutting down animal farming altogether because that has massively disproportionate impacts

00:05:30.940 on the living planet. And we need to switch towards other sources of food, plant-based diets,

00:05:36.400 which are far more efficient, far lower environmental impacts, but also switch out of farming altogether

00:05:42.660 to produce protein-rich foods, which we can do through precision fermentation, brewing microbes.

00:05:48.320 I can hear farmers all over the small country of ours shocked and perhaps screaming at their

00:05:53.760 televisions because they're saying, are you saying all animal farming, in your opinion, really needs to stop?

00:06:00.000 Yes, it does. It really does. It's a bit like leaving fossil fuels in the ground. Unless we do that,

00:06:06.720 we've really got very little chance indeed of preventing this domino effect of system collapse right across

00:06:14.160 earth systems, which basically makes the planet uninhabitable. So eating meat and milk and eggs is

00:06:19.680 an indulgence we cannot afford. Now, we know that George is an anti-human psychopath based on the 0.91

00:06:26.320 fact that, as we see in the video there, he hangs his picture frames from wires suspended from the ceiling.

00:06:31.840 His home decor is exactly the sort of thing that you see right before you're skinned alive and 1.00

00:06:37.280 dismembered. Of course, for liability and legal reasons, I am not directly alleging that George is a serial

00:06:43.280 killer. I'm just saying that I would be surprised if he wasn't. And whether he personally murders

00:06:48.960 people or not, we do know that he subscribes to a murderous ideology. Climate alarmists, like George,

00:06:53.840 are anti-human, anti-civilization. They see all of humanity, well, most of it anyway, with the exception

00:07:00.880 of themselves, as a blight, a stain, a parasite on the face of the earth. Just listen to his word choice. 0.99

00:07:06.640 This is what these people always say. They always say stuff like this. He says that farming is the

00:07:10.080 worst form of land use that humans inflict on the planet and that we're hogging land which could be

00:07:16.480 better used by flowers and bees and caterpillars and other non-sentient life forms. Environmentalism

00:07:23.760 is, it is not an exaggeration to say, a genocidal ideology. That's always been the case, but usually

00:07:29.600 they're not as open about it as George is in this clip. He obviously knows that we can't produce

00:07:35.200 cricket energy bars and tofu burgers quickly enough and distribute them widely enough to feed everybody.

00:07:42.320 He says that livestock farming, eating eggs and drinking milk is a mere indulgence that the planet

00:07:47.280 can't afford to support any longer. Yet billions of people in the world depend on livestock farming to

00:07:53.200 survive, especially in poor countries. The Messiah subsists almost entirely on goats and cows.

00:07:59.680 Take those away and they'll all starve to death. Billions of people will starve along with them.

00:08:05.920 Environmentalists know this and they're just okay with it. More than okay, it's what they want.

00:08:10.640 Mass starvation is, as they say, a feature, not a bug. You really can't be anti-farming without being

00:08:17.760 anti-civilization. Human civilization is based on agriculture. It was born from and by agriculture.

00:08:24.160 It was only after the development of agriculture that civilizations formed in the first place.

00:08:27.760 The Neolithic Revolution saw humanity move away from primitive nomadic hunter-gatherer societies,

00:08:33.600 societies that could not really thrive or grow on any kind of wide scale, to the cultivation of plants

00:08:38.480 and animals and the forming of organized permanent settlements. It's not an exaggeration to say that

00:08:42.640 people like George literally want to bring us back to the Stone Age. They want to reverse the clock by

00:08:47.440 about 10,000 years, give or take. Now, such a move would be disastrous for all the billions of poor

00:08:53.600 people who would immediately perish, but would also be a disaster for urban environmentalists

00:08:58.080 whose lives depend entirely on the very farmers they abhor. That's the other thing about climate

00:09:04.160 alarmists. These people, they don't have the skills to survive in the world they're trying to create.

00:09:11.440 They have no skills at all, most of them. That's why so few of the climate change chicken littles have 0.98

00:09:16.720 put their money where their mouths are and forsaken modern technology to go live in self-sustaining communes

00:09:23.120 in the woods. A few of them have, very few. The vast majority of them have not sacrificed even one ounce of

00:09:29.600 modern luxury or convenience. They profess that an environmental apocalypse is upon us. The exact

00:09:35.760 details change three times a week, of course, but there's always an apocalypse. That they maintain.

00:09:41.040 And yet they continue to live exactly as they've always lived. Exactly as the rest of us live.

00:09:47.360 Exactly as they insist we should not be living. They haven't even relocated to higher ground for fear

00:09:53.760 that the sea will soon engulf them. In fact, many of them specifically congregate right

00:09:59.440 near the coastlines. Why is that? You know, if I were in their boat and believed what they claimed

00:10:06.640 to believe, first I would actually, well, I would actually build a boat, probably. And I would do

00:10:10.800 many other things. I would feel morally obligated to take extreme measures. As a member of the

00:10:15.120 enlightened few, as a person who knows that human life is about to be eradicated and who knows why and

00:10:21.200 even when, I would feel an incredible burden of responsibility. If I knew that driving my car,

00:10:27.200 turning on my lights, shopping at the mall, and generally going about my day immersed in modern

00:10:32.880 luxury were all directly causing the current and future deaths of millions of people, I couldn't

00:10:38.720 continue engaging in those lethal activities at all. I would see it as an act of extreme moral

00:10:45.600 recklessness, if not murder, to saunter along as usual. My conscience would compel me to ensure that I

00:10:53.440 am not responsible personally for the carnage that is about to occur and is already occurring,

00:10:57.840 they tell us. I mean, they say that when you use your car or when you do any of these modern

00:11:04.560 things, you're actually, you're creating like hurricanes and tornadoes. You are doing that.

00:11:10.320 Well, if I believe that, I just, I could never get in a car ever again.

00:11:13.680 I could never use electricity ever again. How could a person who believes what they allegedly

00:11:18.740 believe possibly arrive at any other conclusion? And yet they do continue along like everything is

00:11:24.100 fine. I mean, they say otherwise. They say that things are not fine. That's not how they live.

00:11:31.220 Is that because they don't actually believe most of this stuff? That's what I suspect. Speaking of

00:11:34.660 which, Al Gore appeared on Meet the Press on Sunday to say that people who don't join him in his

00:11:40.820 panicking over the climate are just like the police officers in Uvalde. Listen to this.

00:11:45.540 You know, the climate deniers are really in some ways similar to all of those almost 400 law

00:11:55.140 enforcement officers in Uvalde, Texas, who were waiting outside an unlocked door while the children

00:12:03.860 were being massacred. They heard the screams, they heard the gunshots, and nobody stepped forward.

00:12:10.580 And God bless those families who suffered so much. And law enforcement officials tell us that's not

00:12:16.820 typical of what law enforcement usually does. And confronted with this global emergency, what we're

00:12:25.220 doing with our inaction and failing to walk through the door and stop the killing is not typical of what

00:12:32.260 we are capable of as human beings. We do have the solutions. And I think these extreme events that are

00:12:39.940 getting steadily worse and more severe are really beginning to change minds. We have to have unity

00:12:47.380 as a nation to come together and stop making this a political football. It shouldn't be a partisan issue.

00:12:55.540 I feel the need to always remind everyone every time I hear this phrase climate deniers that there's

00:13:02.180 there's no such thing as a climate denier. Nobody denies that we live in a climate. No one is denying the

00:13:07.780 climate exists. No one's even denying that the climate is changing because climates always change.

00:13:12.100 No one's denying any of that. What some of us are denying is the apocalyptic forecast that people

00:13:19.700 like Al Gore are telling us about. And we have good reason to deny it because they've given us many

00:13:25.620 of these forecasts and they've all turned out to be wrong, every single one. Anyway, at least Al Gore

00:13:30.580 doesn't look as much like a serial killer as the other guy, though he does physically resemble more and

00:13:35.140 more like a villain from a Saturday morning cartoon. He looks like something that someone

00:13:39.380 actually drew. It doesn't look like a person. And here he shames us in the strongest term saying that

00:13:43.700 if you're not losing your mind over our alleged impending environmental doom, you're a you're morally

00:13:48.420 analogous to a person who cowers outside of a classroom while children are shot. These are strident

00:13:55.220 words, of course, for a guy who lives in a 10,000 square foot mansion that uses 20 times more electricity

00:14:00.340 than average. But Gore's hypocrisy is so well known that it's almost a cliche. The hypocrisy

00:14:06.020 of environmentalists in general is widely understood and discussed. Yet the fact that

00:14:10.580 these people don't seem to actually believe what they're saying remains extremely relevant, I think,

00:14:15.300 and can't be pointed out enough. And even if I'm wrong, even if they do believe this stuff,

00:14:21.300 the fact is that they're still in a bind of their own making. They militate against modern society and

00:14:26.180 its luxuries, but they're utterly dependent on it. Their ideology puts them at war with their own

00:14:32.020 lifestyles, a lifestyle of helpless dependence. So when they come out against electricity and fossil

00:14:38.500 fuels and farming and all the rest, they are sawing at the branch that they're sitting on,

00:14:45.780 cutting and cutting away. But in the back of their minds, hoping desperately they never cut all the way

00:14:51.540 through. Because it's a long plunge to the forest floor. Some of us may survive the fall, but they

00:14:58.740 surely will not. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:15:10.180 Well, the latest inflation numbers are in and it's not looking good. We've hit a 40-year high at 9.1%

00:15:17.380 thanks to this genius administration that we have. Our nation's authorities are now openly admitting

00:15:21.700 to having completely missed the flashing red lights of inflation and this administration's

00:15:26.100 failed economic policy. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted that she was wrong about the path

00:15:30.140 inflation would take, saying, quote, there have been unanticipated and large shocks to the economy

00:15:34.440 that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that have affected our economy badly

00:15:38.640 that at the time I didn't fully understand. Well, there you have it. Now I know you're worried about

00:15:42.820 affording basic necessities in the months to come, food, gas, shelter, all the rest of it. But

00:15:46.780 she didn't know it's not her fault. Cut her some slack. Well, goes without saying that you can't

00:15:51.600 trust the so-called authorities on economic policy, which is why you should invest at least some of

00:15:55.900 your money in gold and silver with Birch Gold Group. Protect your savings from a highly turbulent

00:16:28.820 All right. It's good to be back in Nashville. Finally, back in front of the trusty old sheet

00:16:35.120 here. Made the 1,000-mile drive back, over 1,000 miles actually, four kids. Though for the second

00:16:41.640 half of the drive home, we only had one kid. We dropped the older three off with my parents

00:16:46.340 to spend the week there, spend a week with Nana and Grandpa. My youngest daughter is two years old,

00:16:52.200 not old enough to be away that long. So we're in the weird position this week, Alyssa and I,

00:16:59.420 of having one kid. And we've never had one kid before because we started off with two right off

00:17:06.000 the bat. So we never experienced this. And I will admit that for the first day, we were pretty cocky

00:17:13.640 about it. And we did, amongst ourselves, say some kind of judgmental things about parents who have

00:17:21.460 just one kid and complain about how overwhelming it is and how hard it is. Because we have one kid,

00:17:26.440 and we're like, what are we even supposed to do? This is so easy. We had two of us and one kid.

00:17:31.360 But it was as if our two-year-old was listening to this and decided to humble us and punish us

00:17:38.020 righteously for our arrogance. Because she decided to take this week as an opportunity to stop 0.99

00:17:43.880 sleeping. And maybe it's just that she looked around and realized that she's alone. So she

00:17:48.820 needs to pick up the slack and be sort of irritating enough to compensate for the fact that her siblings 0.99

00:17:53.640 aren't around. I don't know what it is. But last night, she wouldn't sleep. She was up repeatedly

00:17:58.240 crying. And I went into a room and she was saying that she was too scared to sleep. And I said,

00:18:04.280 there's nothing to be scared of. And then she told me that she heard a baby crying outside in the

00:18:09.680 woods and a man laughing in her closet. And I thought, wow, that is pretty scary, actually. Now

00:18:15.880 I can't sleep. And she asked me to go out into the woods and investigate the sound. And I said,

00:18:21.800 I'm not doing it. You go out there. I'm not going out there. Are you kidding me? I've seen enough

00:18:25.340 horror movies to know what happens if you're the guy who goes out into the woods to investigate the

00:18:28.580 sound. So anyway, we brought her down. I brought her down into our bed. She slept in our bed. And

00:18:32.160 she was splayed out because this is how kids sleep like they're in a synchronized swimming

00:18:38.900 routine. And she's just moving all over the place, splayed out horizontally across the bed,

00:18:44.040 kicking me in the chin all night long. And I know I'm in trouble now because there's nothing. This is

00:18:48.760 one thing parents know that if you let your toddler sleep in your bed, it's like leaving food out for a

00:18:56.340 stray cat. They're never going to go away now. You're stuck with them there. So we're going to have

00:19:00.620 her as a roommate until she's like eight years old. But we are getting what we deserve, I guess,

00:19:05.660 for our, as I said, our arrogance. I've been a parent long enough, I should know. You never say

00:19:13.260 this. You know, oh, this is easy. Never say that. You're just asking for it. So we'll start with this.

00:19:18.800 For the past several weeks and long before that, we've been repeatedly told that banning abortion

00:19:23.820 is especially an attack on racial minorities, right? We've heard this many times. Black women 1.00

00:19:29.860 suffer the most from not being able to kill their children, we're told. But this line of attack, 1.00

00:19:37.080 I guess, proved not very effective. And it just sounds wrong, doesn't it, to say that?

00:19:44.800 So it seems like the left has abandoned it for now and gone all the way to the other extreme.

00:19:49.920 So this is what they do. Of course, if one narrative doesn't work, just try the exact

00:19:54.280 opposite of that narrative. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if what you're saying from one

00:19:58.540 sentence to the next is coherent or makes sense. So Alexandra Samuels is a reporter for FiveThirtyEight.

00:20:05.760 And she tweeted this yesterday. She said, the fight over abortion rights is tied to the great

00:20:10.420 replacement theory and fears that white people will become a minority. That fear never left the

00:20:16.140 anti-abortion movement, which at its core has always been about upholding white supremacy.

00:20:21.440 And she links to an article in FiveThirtyEight, authored by herself and someone named Monica Potts,

00:20:26.820 titled, How the Fight to Ban Abortion is Rooted in the Great Replacement Theory.

00:20:31.280 So here's how it begins. It says, it may not be immediately obvious how the fight over abortion

00:20:36.140 rights is tied to the great replacement theory, the debunked conspiracy theory promoted by some

00:20:40.800 Republican politicians who claim that Democrats support more immigration to replace white American voters.

00:20:46.140 The explanation for, say, an alleged gaffe that overturning the constitutional right to an abortion

00:20:50.400 is a historic victory of white life, quote unquote, or a concern that not enough white babies are being

00:20:56.260 born in the U.S. can be found in the history of the anti-abortion movement. The movement and legal

00:21:00.640 abortion has a long racist history. And like the great replacement theory, it has roots in a similar

00:21:05.680 fear that white people are going to be outnumbered by people believed to hold a lower standing in

00:21:10.500 society. Those anxieties used to be centered primarily around various groups of European immigrants and

00:21:16.120 newly emancipated slaves. But now they're focused on non-white Americans who, as a group, are on

00:21:20.980 track to numerically outpace non-Hispanic white Americans by 2045, etc. and so forth. The anti-abortion

00:21:28.220 movement at its core has always been about upholding white supremacy, right? Now, we have to, of course,

00:21:33.500 stipulate at the outset, once again, that the so-called great replacement theory is not a theory,

00:21:40.560 and it's not something that the right invented. It's something that the left came up with,

00:21:46.420 and it's a thing that they're actually doing and that they've been very open about.

00:21:52.220 They are importing voters from other countries. This is not, this is very clearly what they're doing.

00:21:58.840 It is not a conspiracy theory. It's not a guess. It's not an opinion. It's just what they're doing.

00:22:03.880 And they've often admitted it. You could just quote them directly talking about this.

00:22:10.900 But that aside, you see how this narrative completely contradicts the one they were going

00:22:18.660 with up until five seconds ago. Before it was, well, it's wrong to ban abortion because

00:22:24.700 black women, you know, in particular, quote unquote, need abortions. And now it's, it's wrong 1.00

00:22:32.860 to ban it because this is all like this. This is a conspiracy to increase the percentage of white 1.00

00:22:39.420 people in the population. This doesn't make any sense at all. Here's the figure that matters.

00:22:46.720 Black women are 7% of the population, give or take. The black population as a whole is about 13%.

00:22:54.360 So women, we figure probably 7%, 7% or so. And they account for, I think it's about 34% of abortions. 0.98

00:23:02.680 So well over four times their population percentage. And what that means is that when you ban abortion,

00:23:14.900 you are going to increase the black population as a percentage of the overall whole, a whole,

00:23:21.820 much more than you're going to increase the white population as a percentage of the overall whole.

00:23:30.180 That's just the fact of the matter. So you could try to say whatever you want about pro-lifers.

00:23:39.580 But the claim that's, and whichever angle you're coming from, the claim that pro-lifers are racist,

00:23:46.460 and that the push to ban abortion is a racist conspiracy, it just doesn't make any sense.

00:23:52.780 Given that every pro-lifer knows that you get rid of abortion, and that means that you're going to

00:23:58.600 end up with more minorities, not less, as a percentage. In fact, that's not just something

00:24:05.600 that we're aware of. That's something that we often talk about and observe how Planned Parenthood

00:24:13.640 was born in, you know, as a, in eugenics. I mean, Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood,

00:24:22.620 was a eugenicist. And she believed in using abortion to get rid of what she considered to be the 0.99

00:24:31.440 dregs of society. She was very open about that. In fact, the early advocates of abortion 0.93

00:24:38.800 were all very open about their eugenicist leanings. They consider this to be one of the great selling

00:24:46.460 points of abortion. They've talked about it all the time. So this is something that, it's something

00:24:53.000 pro-lifers very often bring up. Get rid of abortion and racial minorities will end up being 1.00

00:25:03.120 less of a minority than they are now. And you can look at the figures on this and it's hard to estimate

00:25:10.060 exactly, but how many fewer black people are in the country today because of abortion? I don't know

00:25:18.700 the exact number off the top of my head. And like I said, it'd be, it's a, it's, it's a difficult

00:25:23.180 thing to, you know, there's not an exact figure you can arrive at, but it's certainly millions.

00:25:28.740 If not for abortion, there would be millions more black people in the country today than there 1.00

00:25:32.920 currently are. So banning abortion is racist, right? Makes a lot of sense. All right, moving on to this.

00:25:39.460 Dr. Fauci is calling on Americans to, he's humming his same old tune, calling on Americans to put

00:25:46.140 masks on again. Let's listen to that. We're in a zone or, uh, or, uh, or a county state or a city

00:25:54.860 that has a very high level of dynamic of viral circulation. The CDC would recommend strongly

00:26:02.360 that you wear a mask in a congregate indoor setting. And that would include schools, places of work,

00:26:10.000 uh, anything that brings people together in a closed, uh, environment that is good public health

00:26:19.760 practice. Um, I'll, I'll give you a no on that one. Not going to happen at all. But as we, as we hear

00:26:28.560 this, this push to get us back in masks again and, and Fauci, he's just, he's of course never going to

00:26:33.400 let go of this because this is, this is, uh, his last, you know, shot at relevance and power.

00:26:41.480 And he's had more relevance and more power because of COVID than he ever enjoyed at any other point

00:26:47.120 in his life. And, um, that's obviously why he's been in government for so long. That's why almost

00:26:52.500 everybody's in government because they want, they want, they want power, they want control. It's why

00:26:56.320 you get into that line of work in the first place. And, um, and so he's, he can't let go of it.

00:27:01.860 You know, this is, this is how he defines himself. But as this pushes, we get this once again, this

00:27:08.160 push for, for masking, uh, we're going to hear more and more about so-called long COVID. And it

00:27:16.100 seems like every month there's another study that discovers more quote unquote symptoms of long COVID.

00:27:23.460 And so here's the latest. This is from, uh, uh, an article in study finds. It says hair loss and a low

00:27:30.960 sex drive are joining the growing list of lingering symptoms people are dealing with after a case of

00:27:36.980 COVID-19, a condition called long COVID. The major British study involved more than 2 million people

00:27:43.740 and adds these problems to a list that already includes brain fog and chronic fatigue. Now

00:27:48.880 researchers have discovered that long COVID sufferers have experienced a much wider set of

00:27:52.600 over 60 symptoms, including sexual dysfunction and alopecia. Uh, previous studies have found that the

00:27:59.280 list could actually be closer to 200 symptoms. Uh, the, the findings published in the journal

00:28:04.280 Nature Medicine showed that patients with a confirmed record of coronavirus infection reported 62 symptoms

00:28:09.580 much more frequently 12 weeks after their initial infection than those who did not contract COVID.

00:28:14.640 Now, the fascinating thing about long COVID symptoms is that, well, a couple of things, many of them

00:28:21.780 are these kinds of ambiguous, subjective brain fog, chronic fatigue. Like I'm, I'm just feeling tired.

00:28:29.420 I'm feeling foggy. It's hard to even describe that exactly, quantify it. Um, they're the kind of

00:28:36.240 symptoms that pretty much anyone can be convinced they have. You could convince anyone in the country

00:28:43.520 that they have brain fog and chronic fatigue. And actually that is, that that's, that's just a,

00:28:49.480 that's, that's a symptom of living in modern society where you're, you're constantly staring

00:28:55.980 at screens all the time, makes your brain foggy. Uh, almost nobody is getting the amount of sleep

00:29:01.100 they should be getting. That can be traced back to the screens. So these long COVID symptoms often

00:29:07.260 are things like that. And then there's also things that, that happen to people anyway, like brain fog

00:29:12.620 and fatigue, but you know, hair loss, um, all these things are just normal, especially as you get

00:29:19.280 older. So remember this, anything that happens after COVID is long COVID. Like anything that happens

00:29:28.360 to you, any symptom that you suffer from after you have COVID is long COVID. That's basically, I mean,

00:29:35.820 200 symptoms. So that's really just anything at all, any sensation, any physical event, anything at all

00:29:42.020 that happens to you after you have COVID is long COVID, but nothing that happens after you get the

00:29:48.440 vaccine is a side effect of the vaccine. So that's the way that this worked. This is science folks.

00:29:55.560 Okay. Literally everything that happens after COVID is long COVID. Literally nothing that happens after

00:30:02.580 the vaccine is a side effect of the vaccine. Good science. Here's some more good science. And this I

00:30:10.020 think is, um, a very interesting article, article, especially considering what we talked about last

00:30:14.460 week with the, uh, the study on antidepressants and how antidepressants have been prescribed to

00:30:19.740 millions of people for decades, based on a myth, the myth of the chemical imbalance that causes

00:30:25.780 depression. Well, something similar seems to potentially be happening with Alzheimer's. This is

00:30:31.520 from, uh, NBC. It says allegations that part of a key 2006 study of Alzheimer's disease may have

00:30:37.820 been fabricated, have rocked the research community, calling into question the validity of the study's

00:30:42.400 influential results. Science magazine said Thursday that it uncovered evidence that images

00:30:48.500 in the much cited study published 16 years ago in the journal nature may have been doctored. The

00:30:54.700 findings have thrown skepticism on the work of, uh, Sylvain Lesney, who's a neuroscientist and

00:30:59.840 associate professor at the university of Minnesota and his research, which fueled interest in a specific

00:31:03.780 assembly of proteins as a promising target for treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

00:31:08.480 Lesney didn't respond to NBC News's request for comment, nor did he provide comments to, uh,

00:31:12.840 Science magazine. Science said that it found more than 20 suspect papers by this guy and identified

00:31:18.440 more than 70 instances of possible image tampering in his studies. A whistleblower, Dr. Matthew Schrag,

00:31:25.720 who's a neuroscientist at Vanderbilt University, raised concern last year about the possible

00:31:29.740 manipulation of images in multiple papers. Carl Herup, who's a professor of neurobiology at the

00:31:35.400 University of Pittsburgh Brain Institute, who wasn't involved in the investigation, said the

00:31:38.400 findings are really bad for science. Uh, he said it's never shameful to be wrong in science. A lot of

00:31:43.560 the best science was done by people being wrong and proving it if they were wrong and then, and then

00:31:48.040 why they're wrong. What is completely toxic is to be fraudulent. Now, what makes this so bad is that

00:31:56.020 they're saying this was an influential study, which probably understates, you know, the case quite a

00:32:03.100 bit because people were being treated for Alzheimer's based on this study that was done. And according to

00:32:11.600 this new research, again, it's not just that they were wrong about it, it's that the results were

00:32:17.800 falsified. So this is a, an enormous scandal that calls for congressional hearings, investigations,

00:32:27.660 trials. People should be going to prison for this. And we have to know, is it, was it just this one guy

00:32:35.600 who falsified the findings and nobody else knew about it? That seems kind of hard to believe.

00:32:41.460 We're talking about over 15 years with, uh, with, you know, Alzheimer's being treated according to this

00:32:47.100 study and there was, apparently the results in the study were falsified and no, nobody else knew

00:32:52.460 or even suspected it except for this one guy who did it. Um, that's really hard to believe.

00:33:01.000 So there need to be hearings. There need to be, I mean, this is a, this is a major scandal that comes

00:33:05.680 on the heels. It's like, this was a two days after the antidepressant scandal, which was also a major

00:33:11.200 scandal that we're, that's, that, that we're talking about billions of dollars caught up into this

00:33:18.440 fraudulently. It implicates the pharmaceutical industry, doctors. I mean, everybody's caught up

00:33:26.340 in this web. And if we were taking it seriously, then we need investigations into this to find out

00:33:32.960 who exactly is responsible, what happened, people need to pay the price. But here's, but here's the

00:33:37.560 really helpless thing that we all know that nothing will happen when it comes to either of these,

00:33:43.640 especially with the antidepressant thing. But, but even with this as well, my prediction is

00:33:48.840 nothing happens at all. Nobody is held accountable. They'll talk about doing investigations. They'll,

00:33:55.480 maybe, maybe they will have a couple of hearings, who knows, but nothing will happen.

00:33:59.880 I mean, the, the corruption in the pharmaceutical industry, it would be impossible to overstate.

00:34:10.440 And as we talked about yesterday, one of the reasons why there is very little accountability

00:34:17.060 is because there aren't as many people in the country calling for it. You know, if the public

00:34:24.340 pressure built enough, then there would have to be some kind of accountability to assuage all the

00:34:29.300 outrage. But I think for a lot of people, you know, they are dependent on the pharmaceutical

00:34:35.660 industry. Uh, we, we live in a, at a country of full of, uh, drug addicts, even though many of them

00:34:44.060 are dependent on legal drugs that are prescribed to them and they go to Rite Aid to pick them up,

00:34:48.320 but they're drug addicts. And so I think they just, they don't really want to know the truth.

00:34:53.120 And so we're all kind of whistling past the graveyard with all this stuff.

00:34:59.680 All right. This is, uh, an article from the Guardian that I wanted to mention. This is, uh,

00:35:04.680 written by a guy named Sebastian Cohn talking about his experiences with monkeypox.

00:35:12.560 And, uh, he says, I got monkeypox and it's been a total nightmare. I only need to read like the first

00:35:18.580 paragraph or two of this. So you get the idea. When New York pride festivities kicked off on

00:35:24.360 the 24th of June, I was aware that monkeypox was an emerging issue, especially for gay men.

00:35:30.440 But I was also under the impression that the, the number of cases in the city was relatively small,

00:35:34.720 but I didn't understand how apps was, how absolutely dismal testing capacity was at that

00:35:39.300 point. The city only had capacity to process 10 tests a day. Then he says, I had sex with several

00:35:45.340 guys over the weekend. Then a week later on the first of July, I started feeling fatigued. I had

00:35:50.000 a high fever with chills and muscle aches. And my lymph nodes were so swollen that they were protruding

00:35:54.260 two inches out of my throat. First, I took a COVID self-test that was negative. Then I started

00:35:58.260 suspecting monkeypox. I texted a friend, I'm just sitting here waiting for the rash to start.

00:36:02.760 Uh, and then we go into a lot of details you probably don't need about the, the rash and that broke out

00:36:08.560 all over his body in particular and certain parts of his body that, you know, you can imagine we don't

00:36:13.780 need to describe them. And, um, and he had, and it turns out that he had monkey box and it was a,

00:36:19.480 it was a terrible ordeal, which I can imagine based on his description that it was, but who does he

00:36:25.560 blame? You know, he doesn't blame himself. Certainly he blames the city. He blames what, who anybody else,

00:36:33.440 the testing capacity. And yet he says right at the start of the article that, uh,

00:36:40.940 he had sex with several guys over the weekend, just kind of a toss off sentence. Like it's nothing.

00:36:48.800 Oh yeah. Well, I had sex with several guys. That's how I celebrate pride. 0.98

00:36:53.840 Well, here's the thing. Even if monkeypox didn't exist, which it did. And you admit at the outset

00:37:00.640 that you knew that it was out there. You knew that it was, that it was flaring up in New York

00:37:05.700 and yet you still went out and had sex with several guys. But even if there was no monkeypox,

00:37:10.720 that kind of behavior is reckless and dangerous regardless because of all the other diseases that

00:37:18.960 you can get. Um, and this kind of behavior is why the gay community is far more susceptible to any 1.00

00:37:30.040 range of diseases. It's not just monkeypox or HIV though. It is those many other STDs as well. 0.98

00:37:39.340 And yet it's kind of on the theme here of the, uh, the medical industry, you know, fraud fraudulent

00:37:47.180 behavior on the medical industry, on the part of the medical industry and the public so-called public

00:37:50.860 health experts. You know, this is as, as much as they lectured us during COVID for like going to the

00:37:58.080 grocery store, uh, not wearing a mask, you know, even if you're at, well, if you, if you gather even

00:38:04.500 in your own home with your friends and family who don't live in your home, you don't put a mask on,

00:38:08.420 but you're gonna get lectured for that. What do they say? They still say it. You don't put a mask on

00:38:13.220 your, uh, so you're not just hurting yourself, you're killing people, right? You're killing everyone's, 0.86

00:38:19.060 you're, uh, you're, uh, killing everyone's grandparents. 0.83

00:38:22.180 And yet nobody wants to say to people like Sebastian Cohn, you know what? It is incredibly

00:38:30.880 reckless and wrong to go out and just have sex with random people, no matter what diseases are

00:38:39.580 circulating, because there are always going to be, whether it's monkeypox or any of the other

00:38:44.940 dozens of diseases that you can contract and also spread. That is a lifestyle choice that nobody

00:38:53.580 should be engaging in ever. And you know, the thing is, it should be a lot easier to stop doing

00:39:00.600 that than it was for the rest of society to stop living their everyday normal lives for two years.

00:39:09.260 All right, moving to this, this is from The Independent. It says, Tucker Carlson has some

00:39:16.460 unique advice for his young male fans. Drop out of college and have more children than you can afford.

00:39:22.500 The popular but controversial Fox News host, himself a bow tie wearing product of boarding

00:39:26.760 schools, debate societies, and a liberal arts college, made the comments on Sunday. During the

00:39:31.400 interview, Carlson and host Daniel Schmidt, a student at the University of Chicago, bonded over what the

00:39:35.240 YouTube host called a pervasive amount of anti-white sentiment. Okay, so this is just a hit

00:39:39.080 piece bouncing all over the place. That doesn't matter. What does matter is this clip, which has

00:39:43.780 made the rounds online, and there are people that are upset about it as well, because Tucker Carlson

00:39:47.640 said it, which means people are upset about it. But let's listen to the advice that he gives. Go ahead.

00:39:53.760 Achievement comes through commitment and responsibility. So my advice to young people,

00:39:58.240 particularly young men, is just dive face first into it. Like drop out of college. College is ridiculous

00:40:03.620 unless you're moving towards some very specialized degree that you can only get

00:40:07.980 in college if you want to be a veterinarian or a physicist or something. But if you're in

00:40:11.800 humanities, you know, I can give you a list of 100 books. You can find it on the internet

00:40:15.420 and you'll be better educated than you would be at whatever stupid college you go to. 1.00

00:40:19.600 A. B. Get married and, you know, choose wisely, but don't overthink it. 1.00

00:40:26.680 You know, don't overthink it. People overthink it. Like if you're compatible with someone

00:40:31.320 and you can smell that, you can make it work. And by the way, it's never easy because men and women

00:40:37.880 fundamentally don't understand each other. That's the whole joy in it. That's why marriage makes you

00:40:41.920 grow is because you don't really understand the other person. So you have to try every day

00:40:46.200 to decipher what that person is saying. Have more children than you can afford. Take a job you're not

00:40:52.080 qualified for. Like go balls out. You know, just go balls out. I don't know. What is everyone waiting

00:40:58.000 for? You know, have some adventure in your life. Do something crazy. I mean it. And I don't mean,

00:41:03.620 you know, go to Bali. Skip Bali, please. 0.70

00:41:09.320 Well, of course, people are upset about what he says there, the insight he provides,

00:41:12.920 because it's true, right? And if you provide true insight into life, you're always going to upset

00:41:17.680 people these days. He touches on a couple of things there that are really important. One that he

00:41:21.880 says, you know, don't overthink it when it comes to marriage. And this is something, this is a drum

00:41:27.680 that I've been beating for years. And he's exactly right about that. And if you listen to people who

00:41:34.640 are actually married and have been married successfully and are in happy marriages, you're

00:41:39.760 all, this is, you know, there's wide agreement among actually married people. It's only people that

00:41:46.160 aren't married that are scandalized by this kind of thing. And that should tell you something.

00:41:49.480 Because it doesn't mean that, you know, you meet someone and you kind of like them so you get

00:41:55.100 married the next day. Okay? No one's saying that. We'll run off to Las Vegas and get married in a

00:41:58.860 drive-thru wedding after one day. No one is saying that. But if you, if you meet them and you like

00:42:05.340 them and you're attracted to them and you're compatible and also you, you note that you have,

00:42:12.480 you know, your, your fundamental values align, which is something that you can discover about

00:42:19.280 someone early on by actually like talking to them. If you have real conversations with them rather than

00:42:26.300 inane small talk all the time, you can discover all of that very quickly. And then at that point,

00:42:33.140 like what, what else is there to wait for? What are you waiting around? I mean, you can see these days

00:42:37.080 people think, well, okay, I'm attracted to them. I like them. We get along. We're compatible.

00:42:42.920 We have our fundamental values do align. But we need to date for 17 years, you know,

00:42:50.080 and we got to move in together. And I have to know every last detail about this person.

00:42:55.580 What if they have, what if there are things about them that annoy me? Right? I got to find that out

00:43:00.140 first. No, you don't need to find it out because I'll tell you the answer right now. There are,

00:43:04.400 there are a ton of things that annoy you about that because they're a person, they're another

00:43:07.700 person. They're a whole other human being. And so there, you're not going to be compatibility is

00:43:12.380 not going to be 100%. There are going to be difficulties. You're going to be bumping up

00:43:17.060 against each other on various different topics all the time. That's just part of living with

00:43:21.820 someone. You work through that. That's part of marriage. And the thing is, it doesn't even matter.

00:43:28.840 Like you can spend years with someone getting to know every last detail about them. And, uh,

00:43:36.280 and then you say, okay, we're ready to get married and you get married. Well, you still got to start,

00:43:40.600 right? Eventually you're going to have your first day of marriage. It doesn't matter how much time

00:43:46.180 you spent with them ahead of time. Once you get married, you're, you're, you're married. Now the

00:43:51.380 game changes. You're a rookie. I don't care if you knew that person for 15 years ahead of time.

00:43:56.700 You're basically in the same boat as someone who knew their spouse for 15 minutes. Cause now you're

00:44:05.120 starting at square one. You got to start in square one and you're going to have your first day of

00:44:09.000 marriage together. And then your next, the next day and the day after that, and you got to put the

00:44:13.720 work in every single day. It doesn't matter how good things seem heading into it. If you're not

00:44:20.320 willing to put the work in every day, then it's not going to work out. Uh, and then the other thing

00:44:26.500 that he says that I, that is a, is a, another really important point that I'm always trying

00:44:31.800 to stress is this idea of like having a sense of adventure. And I think that this was advice

00:44:36.400 directed particularly at men. It applies to women too, but, but I think especially to men

00:44:41.860 having a sense of, uh, adventure. And that's the point about the, it makes about, you know,

00:44:47.220 have more kids than you can afford, take a job you aren't qualified for. The point is, um,

00:44:51.660 it's not to be reckless. It's just to stop calibrating and triangulating and stalling

00:44:56.700 all the time, which is what so many young people, young men, especially that they, they waste 0.99

00:45:02.240 early adulthood, young adulthood stalling, you know, just waiting around for a sign from heaven

00:45:09.620 that now you can move forward and actually live your life. At a certain point, you got to jump in

00:45:15.020 and take some risks. Yeah. Have a sense of adventure, which means like move out of the

00:45:22.140 house, go do something. Frustrates me to no end when I hear these young guys, uh, complaining even

00:45:30.520 about, you know, oh, there's no, there's no jobs. There's no opportunities around where I live

00:45:34.780 or there, and there, there, there are no people, you know, there's no women, there's no good women 1.00

00:45:39.680 around where I live, which there probably are, but you know, you haven't looked hard enough

00:45:43.020 or you're looking in the wrong places, but whatever. Okay. Even if that's true,

00:45:47.260 then move somewhere else. You're a young, single guy. If you're a young, single, able-bodied guy,

00:45:53.620 you have no dependents, you have no serious responsibilities in life. Now there could be

00:45:59.000 some complicating situations for some people, maybe you have an ailing parent that you can't

00:46:03.180 move away from. Okay. If that's the case for you, then that's different. But if that's not the

00:46:07.120 case, if you don't have anyone dependent on you and you're young and single and a man and you're

00:46:13.020 able-bodied, then you can go anywhere and try anything. Just move, go somewhere. If it doesn't

00:46:19.760 work out, go somewhere else. Worst case scenario, you get somewhere, I can't find a job. I'll be,

00:46:24.920 okay. So you're living out of your car for a few weeks, whatever. You're fine. You'll survive.

00:46:31.880 That's, that's the adventure. That's the kind of thing that, you know, you do things like that and

00:46:35.880 you take risks. And then, uh, later on in life, you, you, those are the kinds of stories you tell

00:46:41.000 your kids and your grandkids. But I think for a lot of people, they're never going to have any

00:46:48.560 stories because like they spent their twenties. What are you going to tell your grandkids about

00:46:51.940 all the time you spend in your mom's house playing video games? You're not going to have

00:46:57.440 any grandkids anyway. So I think that's a great, great moment there from, um, Tucker Carlson. And

00:47:05.340 that's a great time to get to our comment section. Do you know their name? They're the sweet

00:47:12.900 baby gang. All right, let's see. Uh, message from Kyle says, Matt, why is your show so inconsistent

00:47:24.600 lately? Another day off on Monday? What's going on? Well, I'm sorry, Kyle went on vacation at the

00:47:30.440 beginning of July. Then over the weekend, like I said, we drove over a thousand miles. Okay.

00:47:35.320 So I had to, I didn't miss a day for that. Is that, is that okay? I mean, cut me some slack,

00:47:39.400 man. My, you know, here's the thing. And I've gotten a lot of messages from people like this,

00:47:43.520 especially after taking the day off on Monday, people are very upset at me. My workaholic brain

00:47:48.100 already makes me feel guilty for taking any time off at all. And then I get messages from people that

00:47:54.760 are mad at me for it. It just doesn't, it doesn't help. Okay. You guys are really encouraging

00:47:59.800 some unhealthy behaviors. On the other hand, I understand that running a cult, you know,

00:48:05.920 running the SBG cult is a responsibility and there are expectations that come with that.

00:48:09.940 So I understand that as well. Um, Austin fan for life says, I would love to see Matt in charge of

00:48:16.540 HR just to see someone explain a pronoun change just for Matt to end the meeting with you don't

00:48:21.720 get your own pronouns. I'd love to be the head of HR, but, um, and I've made that offer here at the

00:48:25.940 daily wire many times, but whatever company made the mistake of giving me that job would be

00:48:30.300 bankrupted by lawsuits in like three days. So as much as I would love it, probably not going to

00:48:34.840 happen. 10 inks says, uh, I know someone on Ritalin slash Adderall is the same logic as I learned about

00:48:42.660 gender from talking to trans people. I suppose people have always been moved more by stories than

00:48:49.000 by reason. Yeah, that's correct. But especially when it comes to, as you point out, when it comes

00:48:55.980 to the issue of pharmaceuticals, it's just this people relying on anecdotes. It's a scourge people

00:49:02.900 that can't see beyond the anecdotes. Well, I know someone and they took it and they were, but yeah,

00:49:07.500 that's, that's an anecdote. That's one person's experience and that's fine, but you do, you have to

00:49:15.440 expand beyond that and look at the overall scope of the issue. Uh, J.R. Roper says, depression

00:49:22.740 discussion. Are you getting adequate sleep? Are you getting enough? If any real exercise, are you

00:49:28.420 eating healthy foods? Let's explore what you think is healthy, by the way. Are you saturating your mind

00:49:33.860 in social media? Have you taken the time to really assess yourself? How are your relationships? Are you

00:49:38.680 limiting your partner to just one person? How is your financial situation? If necessary, what do you plan

00:49:44.180 to do to improve it? Do you have a hobby? Drinking and binging Netflix is not considered a hobby.

00:49:49.120 Are you overweight? I could go on. Not all, but a vast majority are not willing to put in any work

00:49:53.860 to improve their health and wellbeing. Well, yeah, you're exactly right. And the thing is,

00:49:58.680 if there's any place for these kinds of drugs to treat depression or anxiety or any problem like that,

00:50:05.660 if there's any place for them, it would not come and should not come until that, until you've gone

00:50:11.240 down that whole checklist and you've addressed every single one of the issues that you're talking

00:50:16.240 about. I mean, the idea that we're giving anyone antidepressants without first making sure that

00:50:25.020 they're getting enough sleep, that they're getting exercise, that they're eating well,

00:50:28.260 that all these things, like that should be the very first thing that we do. Take care of all of those,

00:50:34.720 see how you feel, and then come back to me. That's what the doctor should be saying. If they really

00:50:39.920 cared about treating people and helping people, here's a checklist of better lifestyle choices

00:50:46.900 that you could be making. So go fix that, make better choices in your life, and then come back.

00:50:54.180 And no one is saying that it's a 100% guarantee that if you fix all those problems, you're going

00:50:58.780 to feel better. You might not, but you got to start there. That should be the starting point,

00:51:03.480 shouldn't it? Just giving people drugs while they're still making horrible life choices?

00:51:09.920 And here's the thing, you know, I would add another thing to the checklist,

00:51:16.320 which is, are you a mortal human being living in this veil of tears called life?

00:51:26.060 And that's something that we can all check yes on that. We all are. And this is one of the most

00:51:31.360 important salient facts that is rarely discussed when it comes to the depression conversation.

00:51:38.200 And I brought this up before, but I don't know if I'm even articulating it the right way,

00:51:42.120 because it's so fundamental and basic. But it's just something that we always overlook.

00:51:48.720 But we can't overlook it. And this is why I say that the psychiatry industry

00:51:55.300 is starting from some extremely flawed presuppositions,

00:52:01.440 okay? By ignoring that, and I know how this sounds when I say it, okay? But you gotta wait

00:52:10.420 for me to flesh the whole point out. Depression is actually a perfectly reasonable response 1.00

00:52:17.960 to the fact of life, because life is very difficult. It's hard to live. It just is.

00:52:27.100 There are so many things in life that can make people miserable. And, you know, for justifiable

00:52:36.060 reasons. You don't have to go and look at the most extreme tragedies you can imagine. Just think

00:52:43.520 about the people that you know in your own life and all the things that they're dealing with.

00:52:47.840 I was just talking about this with my wife, that they're, for whatever reason, you know,

00:52:51.700 as we get older and, you know, we get into middle age. And there are so many people around us in our

00:52:56.920 lives who are just really struggling. Their marriages are falling apart and financial

00:53:05.000 cataclysms and all these kinds of things. These just come along with living life. And we pretend,

00:53:14.200 and here's the flawed presupposition that the psychiatry industry makes.

00:53:17.560 We pretend that being content and happy is the normal, most natural, most effortless thing.

00:53:27.560 Right? Like that should be the baseline setting. But it's not. Right? And then we say, well, if you're

00:53:34.600 not content and happy all the time, then there's something wrong with you in your mind and you need

00:53:38.640 a drug for it. But that's not the case. How can anyone look around at life and at the world and say

00:53:47.040 that, well, you know, everyone should basically be content and happy all the time. Really?

00:53:50.560 Have you seen the world? Have you seen life? Do you realize that you are a mortal being living here

00:53:56.920 temporarily and then you're going to die? I mean, it's all these things. So it's actually the reverse

00:54:03.180 is true. Being kind of miserable and sad and down, that is default setting for a lot of people.

00:54:10.380 Being content and happy is the thing that takes effort and work, which doesn't mean that people

00:54:18.840 shouldn't be happy or that we should leave people in our misery. No, it's just that we should start

00:54:22.620 by realizing that being kind of sad and miserable is a normal state, actually. Being happy is better,

00:54:30.780 but it takes work to get there. And you got to be able to, you got to put the work in and you have to

00:54:35.540 know how to work for it. And that's something that therapists and counselors should be helping 0.95

00:54:41.160 with. And maybe a few of them do, but a great number of them aren't, aren't going to put in that.

00:54:46.420 They don't want to put the effort in themselves. And so they look for the shortcut, which is the

00:54:50.300 drug. Well, this is the moment in the show where in years past, I may have read you an ad for Harry's

00:54:56.460 razors. I would have said, Hey, you millions of listeners. I love Harry's go out and buy one.

00:55:01.480 I'm not going to do that because I don't love Harry's. I hate Harry's. If you don't know the

00:55:05.740 story, Harry's used to advertise on our shows until someone here, I don't know who said that

00:55:10.140 boys are boys and girls are girls. This was just a unspeakable thing to say. And it was too much for

00:55:16.880 our sponsor who pulled their ads due to values misalignment. Well, we're not going to promote

00:55:21.180 products that hate your values. So we did the only thing that made sense. We launched our own razor

00:55:25.980 company, Jeremy's razors. Every Jeremy's razors kit comes with a premium razor, two sets of blades,

00:55:30.640 shaving cream, and aftershave balm as well. It's a beautiful thing to behold. And over 70,000 kits

00:55:37.040 have shipped already, including to my house, because despite what you may think, I actually

00:55:42.320 do use a razor sometimes. So instead of telling you I'm a big fan of Harry's, I'm here to tell you

00:55:47.440 about the thousands of ex-Harry's fans who've literally thrown their razors in the trash and

00:55:51.800 switched to Jeremy's. Do not go to harrys.com. Go to I hate harrys.com and get your Jeremy's razors

00:55:57.720 founder's kit. It's a time to stop giving your money to woke corporations that hate you. Give

00:56:02.300 it to Jeremy instead. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:56:10.600 I hate to end on such a dour note, but something terrible has happened. Tragedy has struck.

00:56:17.140 And I don't know how else to put this, so I'm just going to come out and say it.

00:56:22.900 Full Frontal has been canceled. Now I know what you're thinking. What's Full Frontal?

00:56:30.020 Well, it's the late night comedy show hosted by Samantha Bee. And I know what you're thinking.

00:56:34.860 Who is Samantha Bee? Well, maybe stop asking questions for a minute and just listen. CNN

00:56:39.160 has the heartbreaking story. It says after seven seasons, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee will not

00:56:43.840 be returning to TBS this fall. The show announced Monday on its official Twitter account. The talk

00:56:48.760 show has been on the air since February 2016 on TBS, home to a host of syndicated shows,

00:56:53.720 including The Big Bang Theory and Friends. They said, quote, to our loyal fans, we love you. You're

00:56:58.700 very special. Go home and go home in peace. The show's statement continued. During its run,

00:57:03.080 Full Frontal with Samantha Bee was nominated four times in the Best Variety Talk Series Emmy category.

00:57:07.980 One of the show's specials, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee Presents Not the White House Correspondents

00:57:12.180 Dinner, earned an Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special in 2017. Asked about the reason

00:57:18.020 for the cancellation, a TBS spokesperson told CNN, quote, as we continue to shape our new programming

00:57:23.460 strategy, we've made some difficult business-based decisions. I'm sorry, but I just don't buy it.

00:57:30.260 Business-based decision? Sounds like code for sexism to me. I mean, I can't imagine why else

00:57:37.000 they would cancel the show, especially since it's been on such a roll recently. I mean,

00:57:41.720 just to show you what I mean, let's play a short clip of the uproarious comedic monologue she 0.99

00:57:46.380 delivered about the Roe decision a couple of weeks ago. Just get ready for some gut-busting comedy,

00:57:52.340 folks. Listen. Medical professionals say that these prosecutions are often based on faulty

00:57:57.840 science and disproportionately hurt low-income women and women of color, which at this point 0.91

00:58:02.460 is basically the slogan for our country. And if you think Republicans will stop at abortion itself,

00:58:07.940 well, bless your heart. Some red state legislators in places like Idaho are even prepared to outlaw

00:58:14.040 some of the most popular forms of birth control. You heard that right, outlaw birth control.

00:58:19.040 What's next? Outlaw condoms? Oh, wait, that's actually a great name for a condom company.

00:58:24.420 When Republicans propose bills that suggest life begins at fertilization,

00:58:28.520 they're making the argument that just having an IUD could be a form of murder. It is not.

00:58:34.120 It is a form of making sure the boyfriend you had in your early 20s doesn't stay in your life forever.

00:58:40.160 I'll be honest. I feel hopeless. I feel rage that every woman in America has been left to make a plan 0.99

00:58:45.660 for how to take care of themselves in a country that values a zygote more than them. I feel like 1.00

00:58:50.720 my throat hurts. It's probably just the COVID. Now, was any of that remotely funny? No.

00:58:57.020 Was it uncomfortable and embarrassing to watch? Yes. Is Samantha Bee kind of like the socially

00:59:03.660 unaware dinner guest who keeps launching into long stories that are supposed to be funny or

00:59:07.580 interesting, but instead are just boring? And the more she talks, the more awkward it gets as

00:59:11.520 everyone else at the table shoots glances at each other, each praying silently that she'll stop talking

00:59:16.320 so that they can get the conversation back on track. Yes, 100%. But is that a good excuse to cancel

00:59:22.700 the only female late night comedy host? Absolutely not. Truly, there's no telling why exactly this 0.51

00:59:30.100 decision has been made after seven seasons. Some have speculated that they're canceling the show

00:59:35.840 because it's terrible and has no audience. Some have pointed out that its ratings were so low that

00:59:40.000 even the WNBA felt sorry for it. Some, in fact, have actually speculated that Samantha Bee was 1.00

00:59:44.540 bankrolled by the WNBA because it made the league's ratings look better by comparison. I don't know if

00:59:49.620 that's true or not. There are some who've said that Samantha Bee's brand as the scowling, humorless 0.99

00:59:54.400 wine mom of late night just didn't resonate with viewers. Some have said that if they wanted to be

00:59:59.700 yelled at by an ill-tempered, middle-aged blonde woman, they'd just go work the cash register at a 1.00

01:00:03.900 grocery store. Some have pointed to the fact that her show made less money than a child's overpriced 1.00

01:00:08.840 lemonade stand. Some have said that TBS could replace its full frontal revenue just by holding like

01:00:13.500 a yard sale once a month. Some have even claimed that comedy shows are supposed to be funny.

01:00:20.740 But they say Samantha Bee's show is about as funny as watching someone drown. 0.95

01:00:25.320 They've said that there have been house fires funnier than Samantha Bee.

01:00:30.080 There are some who've said that the Black Plague was a hilarious slapstick farce compared to full

01:00:35.400 frontal with Samantha Bee. Some have said many other things like this, and I find them all offensive.

01:00:39.900 I do not endorse any of those statements. I am simply telling you what other people have said

01:00:45.860 probably. As for myself, I can tell you that I had faith, a deep abiding faith, that Samantha Bee

01:00:55.080 would at some point, during some episode, manage to tell a funny joke. She tried for seven seasons

01:01:01.340 and failed, but you know what stand-up comedians always say? This is their motto. They say,

01:01:04.960 if at first you bomb, get back up there and bomb again, and keep bombing over and over and over

01:01:10.660 again forever. It's either stand-up comedians or Al-Qaeda. I'm not sure which one. But if you keep 0.83

01:01:17.360 going and keep telling jokes, however bad they might be, statistically, it just seems almost certain

01:01:23.640 that eventually you'll stumble upon a funny one, right? Samantha Bee never got there because TBS

01:01:31.120 canceled her before she had a chance. They only gave her six years, which is not nearly long

01:01:36.660 enough. NBC has given Seth Meyers more time than that to figure it out, and he's still trying,

01:01:42.020 which means that this is sexism once again rearing its ugly head and telling a woman that she isn't

01:01:49.360 funny, which of course is true. It usually is. But she could have been funny. One day, 0.82

01:01:56.840 I believed in her. I was watching and rooting for her. Well, I wasn't watching. Nobody was,

01:02:02.780 but I was rooting. So I washed my hands of this travesty. I had nothing to do with it.

01:02:08.760 This isn't my fault. It isn't Samantha Bee's fault. You know what? It's your fault and TBS's fault

01:02:14.500 for not supporting her and believing in her. And because of your callous disregard, Samantha Bee

01:02:20.660 hit the glass ceiling. And rather than breaking through it, she splattered against it like a bug on a 0.98

01:02:26.420 windshield. For that reason, you are all canceled. Shame on you all. How dare you?

01:02:36.080 That'll do it for us today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Godspeed.
