00:00:02.800 Someone is trying to frame us.
00:00:05.160 Until our names are cleared.
00:00:07.700 We're fugitives from interval.
00:00:09.480 Like Bonnie and Clyde with better snacks.
00:00:12.840 Espionage?
00:00:13.560 You still as good a shot as you used to be?
00:00:16.540 Better.
00:00:17.400 Is there love language?
00:00:18.860 We like to walk that fine line between techno thriller
00:00:21.360 and romantic comedy.

00:00:30.620 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:00:32.560 Your home for open, honest, and provocative conversations.
00:00:41.260 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly.
00:00:43.040 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:00:44.640 Our two-year anniversary week continues
00:00:46.900 and it's been a great mix of shows so far.
00:00:49.440 We had Mike Rinder on,
00:00:50.960 one of the top grand poobahs in Scientology
00:00:53.980 before he left yesterday.
00:00:56.560 Father Mike Schmitz to talk Catholicism
00:00:58.560 and his smash podcast,
00:01:01.520 The Bible in a Year, 0.98
00:01:02.720 the day before that.
00:01:03.620 And now we are joined today
00:01:04.800 by one of our first guests ever
00:01:07.380 and my old pal from The Kelly File,
00:01:09.800 Ben Shapiro,
00:01:11.160 also known as Digital Media King.
00:01:13.600 There is so much news to get to.
00:01:15.300 Florida is assessing the massive damage
00:01:17.520 right now from Hurricane Ian
00:01:18.720 and Ben's down there.
00:01:20.600 I mean, that's where his home is.
00:01:21.640 And the White House is trying to clean up
00:01:23.720 one of Biden's most absurd moments
00:01:27.320 since he's taken...
00:01:28.600 I mean, I'm sure you've heard it
00:01:30.000 or seen it by now.
00:01:31.700 It was like, as soon as I got off the air yesterday,
00:01:33.180 everybody was like,
00:01:34.020 oh my God, wait until you see.
00:01:35.960 It was terrible.
00:01:37.560 It was bad.
00:01:38.580 It was bad even for Corrine Jean-Pierre.
00:01:40.480 And that's saying something
00:01:41.220 because everything she does is bad.
00:01:42.660 But this is especially bad.
00:01:44.200 My old pal James Rosen makes an appearance
00:01:46.240 in the montage that we've cut for you.
00:01:47.840 So there's so much to get to.
00:01:49.620 Let's do that.
00:01:51.000 Ben Shapiro is editor emeritus of The Daily Wire
00:01:54.100 and host of The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:02:00.740 Someone is trying to frame us.
00:02:03.740 Until our names are cleared.
00:02:06.260 We're fugitives from Interpol.
00:02:08.060 Like Bonnie and Clyde with better snacks.
00:02:11.520 Espionage?
00:02:12.140 You're still as good a shot as you used to be?
00:02:15.260 Better.
00:02:15.960 Is there love language?
00:02:17.320 We like to walk that fine line
00:02:18.760 between techno-thriller
00:02:19.940 and romantic comedy.
00:02:22.780 We make up our own rules.
00:02:24.560 NCIS Tony and Ziva.
00:02:26.240 Now streaming on Paramount+.
00:02:28.060 Ben, welcome back.
00:02:31.820 Great to have you.
00:02:33.180 Hey, thanks for having me.
00:02:34.220 Congratulations on this year anniversary.
00:02:35.620 That's awesome.
00:02:36.140 Thank you.
00:02:36.680 Thank you for helping make it a success.
00:02:38.500 I like the beard and mustache.
00:02:41.320 Oh, thanks.
00:02:42.300 Yeah, and I just,
00:02:42.880 I finally hit puberty, so.
00:02:45.400 I really like it.
00:02:46.640 My team was like,
00:02:47.580 hey, he's got a beard.
00:02:48.360 I'm like, he does?
00:02:49.420 I usually listen to your show.
00:02:50.520 I don't usually watch it,
00:02:51.600 so I haven't seen this,
00:02:52.560 but I like it.
00:02:53.100 It's like, it's close shaven. 0.98
00:02:54.620 It's not like, you know,
00:02:55.280 scraggly professor look.
00:02:56.900 It's just like a little.
00:02:57.480 If it gets too long,
00:02:58.520 I turn into a rabbi.
00:02:59.620 So it's a,
00:03:00.180 I have to be careful
00:03:01.020 about the length on this thing.
00:03:03.420 Yeah, and you could just wake up
00:03:04.540 one morning and it's happened.
00:03:06.200 Exactly.
00:03:06.780 Well, I mean,
00:03:07.080 I'm just that much of a man.
00:03:07.900 I actually didn't shave
00:03:08.680 for about a day and a half
00:03:09.580 and boom,
00:03:10.320 it was just like that, so.
00:03:11.920 Well, since we are
00:03:12.640 a couple of days past Rosh Hashanah,
00:03:14.420 happy new year
00:03:15.080 and hope you have a nice holiday.
00:03:18.080 There's so much to get to.
00:03:18.940 So let's just jump right in.
00:03:20.480 The clip of Biden yesterday
00:03:21.880 is, I mean,
00:03:22.840 second to none
00:03:23.720 when it comes to his gaffes.
00:03:26.140 So he has an event
00:03:27.460 at the White House
00:03:28.180 and he is,
00:03:29.900 it's about hunger, basically.
00:03:31.900 And there,
00:03:32.620 it's at the White House Conference
00:03:33.620 on Hunger Nutrition
00:03:34.400 and Health Met
00:03:35.080 and he speaks
00:03:36.260 and he knew,
00:03:38.060 he knew
00:03:38.660 that this Indiana Congresswoman, 0.99
00:03:41.280 Jackie Walorski,
00:03:42.220 who was a Republican,
00:03:43.460 was the co-chair
00:03:44.720 of the House Hunger Caucus.
00:03:46.080 All right.
00:03:46.500 And he also knew
00:03:47.380 that this woman
00:03:47.880 had been killed
00:03:48.720 on August 3rd
00:03:50.440 in a two-car crash
00:03:52.500 in Indiana,
00:03:53.340 along with two people
00:03:54.300 who work with her.
00:03:55.420 The White House
00:03:56.100 had previously released
00:03:57.340 a statement
00:03:57.860 on this woman's death
00:03:59.300 and apparently
00:04:00.300 there had been
00:04:00.820 some sort of a tribute
00:04:01.540 to her at this event
00:04:02.540 as well.
00:04:03.140 So he knew
00:04:04.440 all of that
00:04:05.120 and he gets up there
00:04:06.500 and had the following comments.
00:04:09.100 Watch, listen.
00:04:10.600 And I want to thank
00:04:11.400 all of you here
00:04:12.040 for including
00:04:13.120 bipartisan elected officials
00:04:14.500 like Representative Gover
00:04:16.140 and Senator Braun,
00:04:17.640 Senator Booker,
00:04:18.860 Representative Jackie,
00:04:20.680 are you here?
00:04:21.340 Where's Jackie?
00:04:22.460 I didn't think
00:04:23.080 she was going to be here.
00:04:26.120 Jackie, are you here?
00:04:27.700 She was going to be here.
00:04:30.760 Jackie's not here.
00:04:32.680 She's no longer with us.
00:04:33.680 God rest Jackie's soul. 1.00
00:04:35.440 He hasn't had a gaffe
00:04:36.600 this bad since he told
00:04:37.600 the gentleman
00:04:38.080 in the wheelchair,
00:04:39.000 stand up,
00:04:39.680 stand up so people
00:04:40.440 can see you.
00:04:41.180 Remember?
00:04:41.540 Oh, God, I love you.
00:04:42.660 Like, it's so bad.
00:04:44.380 So then,
00:04:44.800 just to finish the setup,
00:04:46.420 Corrine Jean-Pierre
00:04:47.280 takes the incoming
00:04:48.200 and finds her new
00:04:49.820 favorite phrase,
00:04:51.320 top of mind,
00:04:52.220 top of mind.
00:04:53.120 Here she is
00:04:53.740 trying to explain
00:04:54.400 away this moment.
00:04:54.980 What happened
00:04:56.880 in the hunger event today?
00:04:58.020 The president appeared
00:04:58.700 to look around the room
00:04:59.760 for an audience member,
00:05:02.080 a member of Congress
00:05:02.820 who passed away last month
00:05:04.120 and seemed to indicate
00:05:04.780 she might be in the room.
00:05:05.980 What happened?
00:05:06.700 So the president was,
00:05:08.440 as you all know,
00:05:09.200 you guys were watching
00:05:09.940 today's event,
00:05:11.040 a very important event
00:05:12.580 on food insecurity.
00:05:14.220 The president was naming
00:05:15.200 the congressional champions
00:05:16.780 on this issue
00:05:17.720 and was acknowledging
00:05:18.980 her incredible work.
00:05:20.720 He had already planned
00:05:23.260 to welcome
00:05:23.860 the congresswoman's family
00:05:25.640 to the White House
00:05:26.860 on Friday.
00:05:27.620 There will be a bill signing
00:05:29.340 in her honor
00:05:30.080 this coming Friday.
00:05:31.860 So, of course,
00:05:32.880 she was on his mind.
00:05:34.280 She was of top of mind
00:05:35.420 for the president.
00:05:36.820 Jackie, are you here?
00:05:38.120 Where's Jackie?
00:05:38.860 She must not be here.
00:05:40.040 No, I totally understand.
00:05:41.280 I just explained.
00:05:42.500 She was on top of mind.
00:05:43.760 But I think the confusing part
00:05:45.080 is why,
00:05:46.300 if she and the family
00:05:47.120 is top of mind,
00:05:48.600 does the president think
00:05:49.620 that she's living
00:05:50.340 and in the room?
00:05:51.300 I don't find that confusing.
00:05:52.720 I have John Lennon
00:05:53.500 top of mind
00:05:54.200 just about every day,
00:05:55.040 but I'm not looking
00:05:55.680 around for him anyway.
00:05:57.300 When you sign a bill
00:05:58.280 for John Lennon
00:05:59.180 as president,
00:06:00.340 then we can have
00:06:00.840 this conversation.
00:06:01.700 Okay, go ahead.
00:06:02.740 Go ahead.
00:06:03.180 These moments of confusion
00:06:04.680 are happening
00:06:05.380 with your race.
00:06:06.160 Go ahead.
00:06:07.120 Americans are watching
00:06:09.080 this that are happening.
00:06:10.080 What do you say to that?
00:06:12.080 This is a legitimate question.
00:06:13.980 We need to have some answers.
00:06:15.220 The administration
00:06:15.460 at the end of the year.
00:06:17.360 What can you tell us about?
00:06:18.320 I'm sorry.
00:06:18.640 Somebody was yelling
00:06:19.560 over you,
00:06:20.340 so go ahead.
00:06:22.140 There are reports
00:06:22.920 that Secretary Yellen
00:06:24.340 is looking to leave.
00:06:25.000 It is not your turn
00:06:25.840 to speak,
00:06:26.580 and you're being rude
00:06:27.380 to your colleagues
00:06:28.220 and let your colleague
00:06:29.220 answer the question.
00:06:31.300 Oh my God, Ben.
00:06:32.680 What did you make of it?
00:06:34.200 Well, I mean,
00:06:34.720 honestly,
00:06:35.420 Joe Biden making gaffes
00:06:36.680 where it's very clear
00:06:37.600 that all the bats
00:06:38.480 are not in the belfry
00:06:39.280 is not anything new.
00:06:40.400 I mean,
00:06:40.560 this is something
00:06:41.020 that he's been doing
00:06:41.720 for a couple of years.
00:06:42.660 It wasn't like
00:06:43.000 there was a lot going on
00:06:43.880 mentally with Joe Biden
00:06:45.140 even 15 years ago
00:06:46.140 when he was mostly there.
00:06:47.120 Now he's mostly not there.
00:06:48.580 And so that wasn't
00:06:49.260 the shocking part.
00:06:50.280 And Karine Jean-Pierre
00:06:50.980 doing this attempt
00:06:52.220 to spin it away
00:06:52.900 is really the shocking part.
00:06:54.240 She should have just said
00:06:55.000 he forgot that she died
00:06:56.660 and everybody can see that.
00:06:57.740 And he apologizes for that.
00:06:59.080 And then everybody
00:06:59.500 sort of moves on.
00:07:00.560 It's not as though
00:07:01.020 people can't see
00:07:01.980 what they are seeing,
00:07:02.640 but this constant attempt
00:07:04.220 by members of the White House
00:07:06.300 to spin away the fact
00:07:07.620 that we know
00:07:08.620 that Joe Biden
00:07:09.380 is not all there,
00:07:10.380 it really is beyond parody
00:07:12.000 at this point.
00:07:12.700 And it speaks to a broader
00:07:13.840 problem in American public life,
00:07:14.900 which is we can't just look
00:07:15.640 at our public officials
00:07:16.360 as the doofuses that they are.
00:07:17.800 We can't just look at Joe Biden
00:07:18.760 and say, OK,
00:07:19.540 the guy makes a lot of gaffes.
00:07:20.540 He obviously is not fully on.
00:07:22.720 The lights may be on in the attic,
00:07:23.740 but there's no one home.
00:07:24.860 You can't just say that
00:07:25.880 about the president.
00:07:26.440 Instead, you have to try
00:07:27.060 to pretend that he full well
00:07:28.320 knew she was dead.
00:07:29.360 He was just calling her
00:07:30.120 out of the audience
00:07:30.760 because he's like Bruce Willis
00:07:31.980 in Sixth Sense
00:07:32.620 and actually can see
00:07:33.820 into the great beyond,
00:07:35.380 which if he could,
00:07:36.400 then he should ask
00:07:37.040 some financial advice
00:07:37.960 from some folks of the past
00:07:39.380 because obviously his policies
00:07:40.640 have learned nothing from that.
00:07:42.900 It's that you're exactly right.
00:07:44.240 Her attempt to spin 0.99
00:07:45.220 is even worse than what he did.
00:07:47.140 And people are like,
00:07:47.620 oh, he should apologize.
00:07:48.560 I'm like, I don't.
00:07:49.260 I mean, like he clearly
00:07:50.200 didn't mean any offense
00:07:51.340 to the woman's family.
00:07:52.160 He doesn't have
00:07:52.580 the mental facility any longer
00:07:53.800 to even know
00:07:54.380 whether she's dead or alive.
00:07:55.280 We can all see that.
00:07:56.340 So it wasn't an intentional.
00:07:57.600 And even the Congresswoman's brother
00:08:00.420 is in the news today saying,
00:08:02.200 basically, he feels bad for Biden.
00:08:04.100 He feels sorry for him.
00:08:05.720 And there's an element of that, right?
00:08:07.720 As you see this senior citizen
00:08:09.620 really struggling
00:08:10.380 to hold on to his faculties.
00:08:12.120 If you can forget for a moment
00:08:13.380 that he's president
00:08:14.000 of the United States,
00:08:14.680 you can have a real moment
00:08:15.680 of feeling sorry for him.
00:08:17.060 And then as soon as you remember
00:08:18.080 he's president,
00:08:18.660 you just feel sorry for yourself
00:08:20.120 and your country, right?
00:08:22.640 But then Corrine Jean-Pierre comes in
00:08:24.420 and she's agreed to do this job
00:08:26.020 of cleanup in aisle seven.
00:08:27.540 And there's never been anyone
00:08:28.820 worse at it than Corrine is.
00:08:30.680 It is astonishing how bad she is at this.
00:08:32.980 And I understand she's historic
00:08:34.000 because she's so historically historic
00:08:35.500 and all the historicity
00:08:36.740 of her historicness.
00:08:37.980 But the reality is
00:08:39.080 that she sucks at this job. 0.63
00:08:40.120 I mean, she is truly awful at this job. 0.97
00:08:42.000 Well, you can at least say
00:08:42.620 about Jen Psaki
00:08:43.460 is that Jen Psaki 1.00
00:08:44.740 was capable of spinning.
00:08:46.460 I may not have thought
00:08:47.340 that she was telling the truth
00:08:48.160 very often,
00:08:48.760 but at least she was
00:08:49.380 pretty good at the job.
00:08:50.400 I remember when Robert Gibbs
00:08:51.200 was press secretary for Obama
00:08:52.480 and I thought that guy lies a lot,
00:08:53.620 but at least he's pretty good at this.
00:08:55.000 She is just sheerly awful.
00:08:56.640 And to a certain extent,
00:08:57.380 I find that almost charming
00:08:58.440 because we're getting a lot
00:09:00.020 of sort of unintentional,
00:09:02.220 not only comedy, but truth
00:09:03.360 because it's so obvious
00:09:04.340 that she's lying.
00:09:04.980 It's so obvious that nothing
00:09:06.120 that she's saying is the case.
00:09:07.580 And so when you watch her
00:09:08.680 trying to pretend that you
00:09:10.100 you can't have an opinion
00:09:11.500 on Joe Biden talking to the dead
00:09:13.100 unless you signed a bill
00:09:14.460 for a person who has died
00:09:16.320 and then gone on stage
00:09:17.380 and done exactly
00:09:18.040 what Joe Biden has done.
00:09:19.160 And this is this is redefining
00:09:20.780 sort of the standard
00:09:22.240 for criticism
00:09:22.980 to a whole new level.
00:09:23.900 So basically,
00:09:24.360 unless I'm an 80 year old president
00:09:26.380 losing my mental faculties
00:09:27.720 and calling out dead people
00:09:28.840 from on stage,
00:09:29.400 I cannot criticize
00:09:30.200 an 80 year old president
00:09:31.740 who is losing his mental faculties
00:09:33.820 and calling out the dead on stage.
00:09:35.720 That was so that's what she
00:09:36.840 you're referencing that part
00:09:37.780 where she had the exchange
00:09:38.500 with James, James Rosen,
00:09:39.760 who was the one who said,
00:09:40.760 I have John Lennon
00:09:41.360 top of my mind every day.
00:09:42.940 And yet I don't walk into rooms
00:09:44.600 looking around for him.
00:09:45.780 And by the way,
00:09:46.260 having known Rosen for a long time,
00:09:47.700 that's 100 percent true.
00:09:48.680 The man's obsessed
00:09:49.680 with the Beatles.
00:09:50.540 He once told me a story
00:09:51.200 about how he went
00:09:51.760 to see Paul McCartney
00:09:52.580 playing someplace
00:09:53.900 in the D.C. area.
00:09:55.140 And he walked in.
00:09:56.480 It was like a radio show promotion.
00:09:57.700 And he, James,
00:09:58.820 got to play the very same piano
00:10:00.480 that Paul McCartney
00:10:01.580 had played moments earlier
00:10:02.620 at this radio show
00:10:03.960 promotion demo, whatever.
00:10:05.380 And he was just weeping,
00:10:07.220 just weeping.
00:10:07.980 I'm like, why?
00:10:08.800 He's like, these hands
00:10:10.140 touch the same ivories
00:10:11.600 that Paul McCartney.
00:10:13.240 And then he took his now wife,
00:10:15.120 then girlfriend
00:10:15.640 to a Paul McCartney concert.
00:10:17.740 He just cried the entire time,
00:10:20.020 cried.
00:10:20.660 I said, it's a miracle
00:10:21.720 your wife ever gets 1.00
00:10:22.940 in the bed with you, James,
00:10:23.900 ever, ever.
00:10:25.500 But my point is,
00:10:26.420 when he says he's obsessed
00:10:27.380 with John Lennon
00:10:28.060 and the Beatles,
00:10:28.840 he means it,
00:10:29.940 but he knows John Lennon
00:10:31.560 is dead
00:10:32.400 and doesn't look
00:10:34.240 around the room for him.
00:10:35.360 What point?
00:10:35.860 Well, made.
00:10:36.900 Well, you know, again,
00:10:37.520 one of the things
00:10:38.120 that happens here
00:10:39.060 is that Joe Biden
00:10:39.860 does this sort of stuff
00:10:40.940 and we all notice it.
00:10:41.920 And then the White House
00:10:42.580 tries to spin it away
00:10:43.380 and then we notice it some more.
00:10:44.620 And then the media said,
00:10:45.200 why are you spending
00:10:45.560 so much time on this?
00:10:46.540 Why are you even paying
00:10:47.120 attention to stuff like this?
00:10:48.320 Well, I mean,
00:10:48.700 let's be frank about this.
00:10:49.800 Joe Biden makes these gaffes
00:10:50.740 on an extraordinarily regular basis.
00:10:52.580 And this one happened
00:10:53.260 to be particularly egregious.
00:10:54.460 But yesterday,
00:10:55.540 there was footage of Jill
00:10:56.920 basically guiding him
00:10:57.900 away from a podium.
00:10:58.820 Two days before that,
00:10:59.620 there was footage
00:11:00.060 of Joe Biden at an event
00:11:01.240 walking away from a podium
00:11:02.260 while somebody was still
00:11:02.960 talking to him
00:11:03.680 and looking around
00:11:04.820 as though he's John Travolta
00:11:05.720 in Pulp Fiction,
00:11:06.580 looking around the room,
00:11:07.300 not knowing where he is.
00:11:08.620 And we're all supposed
00:11:09.180 to pretend that none
00:11:09.900 of this is happening.
00:11:10.800 It's all this bizarre
00:11:12.300 gaslighting attempt.
00:11:13.580 By the way,
00:11:13.980 a lot of this gaslighting
00:11:14.760 is going to go away
00:11:15.340 if the Democrats
00:11:15.900 lose the midterm.
00:11:16.660 So in November,
00:11:17.460 if the Democrats get
00:11:18.180 shellacked in the House,
00:11:18.940 if they lose the Senate,
00:11:20.380 then a lot of the calls
00:11:21.500 that we are now making
00:11:22.540 about being accurate
00:11:23.540 about his mental acuity
00:11:24.540 are going to start being
00:11:25.540 echoed by people on the left.
00:11:26.560 You saw a little bit
00:11:27.340 of this about four months ago
00:11:28.500 when it looked like the Democrats
00:11:29.800 were really in trouble.
00:11:30.820 And then the entire media
00:11:32.100 decided that they were going
00:11:32.940 to pump up this idea
00:11:33.960 that Joe Biden was actually
00:11:35.000 shockingly competent
00:11:36.420 at his job
00:11:37.120 and that he was getting
00:11:37.940 all sorts of things done
00:11:38.760 and aviator Joe was back
00:11:39.900 in all of this.
00:11:40.640 But if he falls on his face
00:11:41.980 again in the midterms,
00:11:42.760 then then watch for the calls
00:11:43.720 for him to go to start
00:11:44.500 pretty much five minutes later.
00:11:46.580 OK, but now here's
00:11:47.340 what's interesting
00:11:47.800 about that scenario.
00:11:49.260 So what do they do?
00:11:50.240 Right.
00:11:50.420 Gavin Newsom's like,
00:11:51.180 look at me,
00:11:51.560 look at me in my hair.
00:11:52.560 I'll do it.
00:11:53.340 But that requires them
00:11:54.640 to totally bypass
00:11:55.560 the first black female
00:11:58.060 vice president
00:11:58.820 in U.S. history
00:11:59.780 who is absolutely
00:12:01.540 going to feel
00:12:02.280 it is her turn
00:12:03.200 to ascend
00:12:04.160 if Joe Biden doesn't run.
00:12:05.880 So they've got to bypass her
00:12:07.000 despite the fact that
00:12:08.160 she's almost,
00:12:09.780 almost as bad as Biden
00:12:11.240 when it comes to the gaffes.
00:12:12.940 Here's one just from today.
00:12:14.600 She's stumbling over herself
00:12:15.840 and can't really understand
00:12:16.860 when to use the term
00:12:17.940 North Korea.
00:12:18.900 Watch.
00:12:19.060 So the United States
00:12:21.500 shares a very important
00:12:24.360 relationship,
00:12:25.320 which is an alliance
00:12:26.380 with the Republic
00:12:27.420 of North Korea.
00:12:29.040 What?
00:12:29.500 And it is an alliance
00:12:31.440 that is strong
00:12:32.240 and enduring.
00:12:33.980 It is?
00:12:35.520 I don't even know
00:12:36.280 what she was trying
00:12:36.820 to say, Ben.
00:12:37.620 Like, I get this daily
00:12:38.820 from her.
00:12:39.880 Well, the important thing
00:12:40.680 is that she finally
00:12:41.240 visited a border,
00:12:42.180 you know,
00:12:42.840 and she made a big deal 0.77
00:12:43.700 out of how she was
00:12:44.280 going to visit the border
00:12:45.140 and then and then
00:12:45.960 she had not visited
00:12:46.560 the border,
00:12:46.940 but she had visited
00:12:47.600 the border.
00:12:47.820 Well, now she visited
00:12:48.440 an actual secure border.
00:12:49.960 It happens to be the border
00:12:50.580 between North and South Korea,
00:12:51.880 but she is amazingly 0.91
00:12:54.200 bad at this job.
00:12:55.420 And again,
00:12:55.720 it turns out that
00:12:56.480 when you pick people
00:12:57.220 based on their historic
00:12:58.140 characteristics,
00:12:58.720 as opposed to on their
00:12:59.720 quality,
00:13:00.380 and those are not
00:13:00.740 mutually exclusive.
00:13:01.560 I'm sure that Joe Biden
00:13:02.640 could have found somebody
00:13:03.340 who was both black
00:13:04.820 and female
00:13:05.780 and also competent.
00:13:06.880 That would have been
00:13:07.440 a lot better than
00:13:08.080 picking Kamala Harris,
00:13:08.940 who is black and female
00:13:10.080 and historic
00:13:10.840 and also not competent
00:13:12.320 at all.
00:13:13.120 That really has come back
00:13:14.200 to bite her.
00:13:14.640 And it will be fun
00:13:15.280 to watch the sort of
00:13:16.000 internecine warfare
00:13:16.840 in the Democratic Party.
00:13:18.160 Should Kamala Harris 0.99
00:13:19.040 be sort of made
00:13:19.940 the heir apparent?
00:13:20.580 Because Gavin Newsom
00:13:21.200 is not going to go
00:13:21.700 quietly into that.
00:13:22.420 And I don't think
00:13:23.000 Pete Buttigieg will either.
00:13:24.000 I think that you're going
00:13:24.500 to get a massive battle
00:13:25.620 inside the Democratic Party.
00:13:26.760 And Joe Biden was
00:13:27.820 essentially the band-aid
00:13:28.960 placed on all of that
00:13:30.180 intersectional warfare
00:13:31.260 inside the Democratic Party
00:13:32.520 because he had the gloss
00:13:33.520 of Obama upon him.
00:13:34.660 But if he goes,
00:13:35.460 then there's going to be
00:13:36.020 some real questions
00:13:37.200 inside the Democratic Party.
00:13:38.260 I know everybody wants
00:13:38.700 to focus in on the
00:13:39.560 possibility of Trump
00:13:40.640 versus DeSantis
00:13:41.260 on the right side of the aisle.
00:13:42.520 But if Joe Biden goes,
00:13:43.460 it's going to get very,
00:13:44.180 very ugly on the left
00:13:44.920 side of the aisle.
00:13:46.420 Very, very quickly.
00:13:46.960 And Kareem Jean-Pierre
00:13:47.700 and Kamala Harris,
00:13:48.580 really, they both are
00:13:50.020 in a similar position
00:13:50.840 where it was very open
00:13:51.920 that they were selected
00:13:52.700 based on certain criteria
00:13:54.080 and they're falling down
00:13:54.980 on the job.
00:13:55.420 And it just goes to show you
00:13:56.440 how if you're going to make
00:13:58.080 the selection based on criteria,
00:13:59.940 you better find somebody
00:14:00.860 who's absolutely capable.
00:14:02.860 Otherwise, you're totally
00:14:03.800 undermining the very groups
00:14:05.140 that you purport
00:14:06.240 to be wanting to promote, right?
00:14:08.500 You've set them up to fail.
00:14:10.000 They should have taken
00:14:10.640 Ketanji Brown-Jackson
00:14:11.740 and put her in the VP role 0.96
00:14:13.140 because I guarantee you
00:14:13.940 she's smarter than Kamala Harris 1.00
00:14:15.080 and could have done
00:14:15.980 a better job of it.
00:14:17.720 OK, let's talk about the midterms
00:14:19.000 because you mentioned it
00:14:19.600 for one second.
00:14:20.700 So there was this ABC News poll
00:14:22.080 that came out earlier this week
00:14:23.100 showing it's tightening
00:14:24.200 that the Republicans
00:14:24.940 are doing better.
00:14:26.120 I mean, it's tightening
00:14:26.740 from where it was
00:14:27.480 when the Democrats
00:14:28.020 made a little run for it
00:14:29.000 late in the summer.
00:14:30.640 And it was pointing out
00:14:31.820 that historically,
00:14:32.460 if you have a president
00:14:33.320 whose approval rating
00:14:34.100 is below 50%,
00:14:35.500 then his party will lose
00:14:37.440 about 14 seats.
00:14:39.340 Sorry, above, above 50%.
00:14:41.380 His party will lose
00:14:42.080 about 14 seats in the midterms.
00:14:43.680 If it's below 50%,
00:14:45.040 historically, they'll lose
00:14:46.380 around three dozen,
00:14:47.840 around three dozen seats.
00:14:49.320 If that's the case here,
00:14:50.760 the Republicans have
00:14:51.480 way more than they need
00:14:52.580 to actually take control
00:14:53.480 of the House PAC.
00:14:54.180 And Joe Biden's approval rating
00:14:55.340 at best right now is 39.
00:14:58.200 It's about 39,
00:14:59.200 according to that poll, 39%.
00:15:00.520 At best, the highest I've seen
00:15:02.460 lately has been like 42
00:15:03.520 when he was really
00:15:04.260 making a run for it.
00:15:05.200 It's nowhere near 50
00:15:06.040 is the point.
00:15:06.900 So it does look more and more
00:15:08.140 like it's going to be a bloodbath.
00:15:09.260 Maybe it won't be quite as bad
00:15:10.340 as it would have been in June
00:15:11.400 when we had $5 gas,
00:15:12.580 but it's going to be bad.
00:15:13.900 And what do you think
00:15:14.700 the odds of that are?
00:15:15.760 Like, how do you like
00:15:16.320 the Democrats' chances
00:15:17.360 of losing the House?
00:15:18.840 And what do you think
00:15:20.040 is going to happen
00:15:20.400 in the Senate?
00:15:20.860 Because everybody,
00:15:21.440 all the smart people
00:15:22.000 I listen to are like,
00:15:22.800 it's going to be within
00:15:23.800 like one seat.
00:15:25.120 You know, it could go either way.
00:15:26.160 I very rarely make
00:15:27.280 a 100% guarantee,
00:15:28.400 but I 100% guarantee
00:15:29.360 the Republicans are going
00:15:30.080 to take the House.
00:15:30.680 Just structurally speaking,
00:15:31.940 it is almost impossible
00:15:32.980 for them not to take the House.
00:15:34.780 They only have to pick up
00:15:36.160 a few seats in order to do that.
00:15:37.920 And right now,
00:15:38.540 even sort of the low-end estimates
00:15:39.940 from Nate Silver
00:15:41.020 or from the folks
00:15:42.600 at The New York Times
00:15:43.160 are suggesting that Republicans
00:15:44.260 are going to pick up
00:15:44.860 anywhere from about
00:15:45.540 15 to 20 seats.
00:15:46.580 So it would be an absolute shock
00:15:48.420 if Republicans don't pick up
00:15:50.000 at least that number.
00:15:51.720 You know, the idea
00:15:52.200 of a 60-seat swing
00:15:53.040 like we've seen in the past,
00:15:53.780 I think that that's largely
00:15:54.520 been taken off the table
00:15:55.380 because there's already been
00:15:56.340 this great ideological sort
00:15:57.720 in terms of
00:15:58.440 congressional districts.
00:15:59.200 So thanks to the redistricting,
00:16:01.220 thanks to the fact
00:16:01.720 that there are more
00:16:02.160 kind of pure red seats
00:16:03.780 versus pure blue seats,
00:16:05.460 there aren't nearly
00:16:06.000 as many crossover seats
00:16:06.920 as there once were,
00:16:07.880 you know, seats that,
00:16:08.680 for example,
00:16:09.340 would have voted for Biden
00:16:10.420 but now are shifting
00:16:11.060 into the Republican category.
00:16:12.880 That said, the House,
00:16:13.780 it's pretty clear
00:16:14.340 that the Republicans
00:16:14.900 are going to win the House.
00:16:15.840 As far as the Senate goes,
00:16:17.260 you know, I'm a little bit
00:16:18.260 more optimistic
00:16:19.260 than I think most
00:16:20.720 of the prognosticators are
00:16:22.040 about the Republican chances
00:16:23.080 in the Senate.
00:16:23.920 First of all,
00:16:24.260 I think Adam Laxalt
00:16:24.960 is going to win his seat
00:16:25.840 in Nevada over Cortez Masto.
00:16:27.640 People aren't paying
00:16:28.860 as much attention
00:16:29.540 to that particular race
00:16:30.820 as they should be.
00:16:32.300 There's a lot of talk
00:16:33.080 about Warnock versus Walker
00:16:34.220 in Georgia
00:16:34.860 because Walker
00:16:35.380 is a fairly weak candidate.
00:16:36.660 I think that because
00:16:37.780 the Stacey Abrams campaign
00:16:40.300 is really falling down
00:16:41.700 on the job
00:16:42.360 and Brian Kemp
00:16:42.840 is going to clean her clock 1.00
00:16:43.600 in Georgia,
00:16:44.440 I think Walker
00:16:45.080 probably wins that seat,
00:16:46.940 which I might not have said
00:16:47.860 a few months back.
00:16:49.140 I also think that people
00:16:50.100 are already giving up
00:16:51.280 too early on the Fetterman-Oz race
00:16:52.800 simply because
00:16:53.440 Fetterman is not healthy
00:16:55.420 and that's a real problem for him.
00:16:56.840 The fact that that race 1.00
00:16:58.220 centralized on Oz
00:16:59.260 is just a demonstration
00:17:00.080 of the power of the media
00:17:00.820 given how radical Fetterman is
00:17:02.140 because Fetterman really is
00:17:03.240 almost left to Bernie Sanders
00:17:05.000 in a state that is
00:17:06.000 certainly not Vermont.
00:17:07.580 And so the possibility
00:17:08.560 that Fetterman loses that seat,
00:17:10.200 I'm going to say
00:17:10.900 that he still has,
00:17:11.740 you know,
00:17:11.960 sort of a,
00:17:12.840 I would say a 60% shot
00:17:14.080 at winning that seat,
00:17:14.680 but I don't think it's anything
00:17:15.340 like what you're seeing right now
00:17:16.500 where people are saying
00:17:16.980 it's a 90% shot
00:17:17.960 that he wins that seat.
00:17:20.020 Arizona looks very dicey
00:17:21.180 for the Republicans,
00:17:22.060 but Democrats already
00:17:22.860 hold that seat.
00:17:23.400 I think Ron Johnson
00:17:24.300 is going to hold his seat
00:17:25.040 in Wisconsin.
00:17:25.460 So again,
00:17:26.540 if I had to ballpark it right now,
00:17:27.880 I think that I would put it
00:17:28.700 like 55, 45,
00:17:29.700 the Republicans actually
00:17:30.380 take the Senate.
00:17:31.300 And that's a shift
00:17:31.760 from where I was,
00:17:32.500 I would say,
00:17:32.940 even a few months ago.
00:17:34.800 All right.
00:17:34.920 So even though you're not
00:17:35.960 necessarily in the business
00:17:37.160 of prognosticating,
00:17:38.420 let's do spend a minute
00:17:39.380 on the Republican side
00:17:40.720 and on Trump-DeSantis.
00:17:42.280 The latest poll shows
00:17:43.280 now that at least in Florida
00:17:44.720 where you've moved
00:17:45.980 from California,
00:17:47.940 DeSantis is up
00:17:48.780 with Florida GOP
00:17:49.900 primary voters,
00:17:50.800 which is somewhat
00:17:52.020 of a, you know,
00:17:52.820 harbinger.
00:17:54.280 He's got,
00:17:55.000 it's 48 to 40 now,
00:17:56.340 DeSantis over Trump
00:17:57.160 as the preference
00:17:58.060 for Republicans
00:17:58.760 in Florida.
00:18:00.060 And in January,
00:18:00.960 it was exactly the reverse.
00:18:02.200 I think it was 47 over 40
00:18:03.440 in Trump's favor, right?
00:18:04.800 So you've got a 15-point swing
00:18:06.200 there in favor of DeSantis.
00:18:08.220 And it has many asking,
00:18:09.980 you know,
00:18:10.400 is Trump's influence
00:18:11.980 starting to wane?
00:18:13.040 Are Republicans ready
00:18:14.240 to move on?
00:18:15.120 What do you think?
00:18:16.280 I mean,
00:18:16.820 I think that when you talk
00:18:17.820 to most people
00:18:18.760 who like Trump,
00:18:19.640 even people who are
00:18:20.320 really fans of Trump,
00:18:21.420 and listen,
00:18:21.860 I voted for him
00:18:22.400 last time around.
00:18:23.220 If he's the nominee
00:18:23.740 this time around,
00:18:24.340 I assume I'd vote for him again.
00:18:25.740 The fact is that
00:18:27.120 Trump is an extraordinarily
00:18:28.620 tiring person to defend
00:18:30.420 if you're on the right
00:18:31.020 side of the aisle
00:18:31.620 because when his pitch
00:18:33.340 in 2016 was basically
00:18:34.660 they're attacking me
00:18:35.420 because they're attacking you,
00:18:36.560 I think that that
00:18:37.300 held a lot of weight.
00:18:38.120 I think a lot of people saw
00:18:38.980 that Trump had been
00:18:39.700 very popular with the left
00:18:40.820 for literally years.
00:18:41.900 I mean,
00:18:42.000 they were giving him Emmy awards
00:18:43.040 and then all of a sudden
00:18:43.900 they hate his guts
00:18:44.600 and they said,
00:18:44.920 why is that happening?
00:18:45.660 Well,
00:18:45.760 it's probably because
00:18:46.420 he's now defending us
00:18:47.560 and so he's taking
00:18:48.220 the bullet for us.
00:18:49.320 Well,
00:18:49.400 since 2020,
00:18:50.440 because Trump has been
00:18:51.340 so focused in on
00:18:52.100 the 2020 election,
00:18:52.880 the idea has been
00:18:53.560 you're supposed to
00:18:54.440 sort of take the bullet
00:18:55.080 for him.
00:18:55.880 He's asking of you
00:18:56.880 that you go out there
00:18:57.580 and you talk about
00:18:58.060 the election and says,
00:18:58.780 forget about what
00:18:59.200 you think about it.
00:18:59.900 You should make this
00:19:00.720 like the number one
00:19:01.660 priority is talking
00:19:02.940 about the election
00:19:03.500 and most Republicans
00:19:04.140 are like,
00:19:04.520 I don't really want
00:19:06.020 to talk about that
00:19:06.840 as my number one priority.
00:19:08.280 My number one priority
00:19:09.040 is stopping what Joe Biden
00:19:10.120 is doing right now.
00:19:11.620 I don't think Trump
00:19:12.040 did himself any favors
00:19:12.920 when he essentially
00:19:13.780 handed two Senate seats
00:19:14.880 to the Democrats
00:19:15.780 in Georgia.
00:19:16.720 I don't think Trump
00:19:17.200 is doing himself
00:19:17.680 any favors right now
00:19:18.400 when he raises
00:19:18.820 a vast quantity
00:19:20.040 of capital
00:19:20.540 and then does not
00:19:21.480 expend it on many
00:19:22.280 of the candidates
00:19:22.800 that he's helped
00:19:23.340 boost to victory
00:19:24.080 in a lot of these
00:19:25.120 Republican primaries.
00:19:25.880 I'm talking like
00:19:26.260 J.D. Vance in Ohio
00:19:27.180 or Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania
00:19:28.620 or Blake Masters
00:19:29.360 in Arizona.
00:19:30.440 And then they look
00:19:31.220 at DeSantis
00:19:31.860 and DeSantis
00:19:32.460 took what was
00:19:33.780 a very purple state
00:19:34.700 and he has turned it
00:19:35.480 almost bright red
00:19:36.580 and he's very effective
00:19:38.140 in terms of how
00:19:38.840 he's governing.
00:19:39.500 He's very effective
00:19:40.080 at taking on the media.
00:19:41.660 He doesn't have
00:19:41.980 the pizzazz of Trump
00:19:42.660 because nobody in
00:19:43.580 I think human history
00:19:44.540 has had the pizzazz
00:19:45.300 that President Trump has.
00:19:46.760 He's just a magnetic figure
00:19:47.860 in a way that no politician
00:19:49.440 of my lifetime really is.
00:19:50.920 On the left,
00:19:51.220 you might say Obama,
00:19:51.880 but that's probably it.
00:19:53.480 But, you know,
00:19:54.320 again, I think that
00:19:55.180 if you are a Republican
00:19:56.080 who's just looking
00:19:56.680 to beat the Democrats
00:19:57.520 and to change policy
00:19:58.420 and you want an executive
00:19:59.260 who actually knows
00:20:00.680 how to govern,
00:20:01.280 see, it's not that
00:20:02.340 Trump was horrible
00:20:03.420 at governing.
00:20:03.820 It's that the man
00:20:04.260 had never held
00:20:05.160 a governmental position
00:20:05.940 in his life.
00:20:06.560 He came in
00:20:07.060 and he has an executive
00:20:08.020 branch of two million people.
00:20:09.340 And so the question
00:20:09.800 is, who do you fire?
00:20:10.880 DeSantis spent years
00:20:11.820 in Congress.
00:20:12.500 Now he's the governor
00:20:12.980 of a major state.
00:20:14.240 And so if he comes in,
00:20:15.080 he's going to come in
00:20:15.660 with like a game plan
00:20:16.600 on day one
00:20:17.420 in a way that Trump
00:20:18.340 really had to sort of
00:20:18.920 feel his way through.
00:20:20.080 Plus, DeSantis is just
00:20:21.280 a much more disciplined
00:20:22.020 campaigner.
00:20:22.600 I mean, he only talks
00:20:23.280 about the things
00:20:23.800 that he wants to talk about.
00:20:25.500 And so he provides
00:20:26.400 the Democrats,
00:20:27.320 I think, with a lot less fodder
00:20:28.380 to attack.
00:20:29.160 It doesn't mean they won't attack 0.99
00:20:30.020 him.
00:20:30.160 They've tried it.
00:20:30.680 But that's, I think,
00:20:31.660 precisely the point
00:20:32.320 is that unlike a lot
00:20:33.320 of other Republican
00:20:33.860 candidates in the past,
00:20:34.940 you know, I remember
00:20:35.320 when Scott Walker
00:20:35.980 was a front runner
00:20:36.640 in 2016 for all five minutes
00:20:38.320 or Tim Pawlenty.
00:20:39.280 Remember, there's a lot
00:20:39.760 of talk about these candidates
00:20:40.660 who sort of blew up
00:20:41.580 on the launch pad
00:20:42.220 with DeSantis
00:20:43.620 because he's gone
00:20:44.640 through the wars
00:20:45.180 over COVID with the media
00:20:45.980 where he was made
00:20:46.540 like public enemy
00:20:47.360 number one by the media
00:20:48.720 and then he stood up to it
00:20:49.680 or when he went to war
00:20:50.780 with Disney
00:20:51.280 or now I assume
00:20:52.500 after this hurricane
00:20:53.320 there will be attempts
00:20:53.900 to suggest that
00:20:54.820 he's responsible
00:20:55.580 for whatever human suffering
00:20:56.560 happens in the state
00:20:57.320 of Florida.
00:20:58.100 Because of all that,
00:20:59.060 I think a lot of Republicans
00:20:59.860 have faith that DeSantis
00:21:01.220 can fight back.
00:21:02.840 So I'm not super shocked
00:21:04.380 to see people,
00:21:05.340 even people who are
00:21:05.860 warm toward Trump
00:21:06.400 thinking, okay, well,
00:21:07.260 I love Trump,
00:21:07.960 but I'm kind of ready
00:21:09.120 for something new,
00:21:09.800 maybe somebody who's
00:21:10.480 a little bit more disciplined
00:21:11.360 who I don't have to spend time
00:21:12.900 mental space on
00:21:14.240 with regard to his Twitter feed.
00:21:17.160 Believe it or not,
00:21:17.940 the Lincoln Project
00:21:18.600 will be part of,
00:21:19.600 we think,
00:21:20.180 the next election cycle.
00:21:21.380 It's amazing to me.
00:21:22.380 Like, how can it possibly be?
00:21:23.820 I thought they were dead.
00:21:24.740 I thought they were like,
00:21:25.360 they're like the cockroach
00:21:26.280 that keeps coming back.
00:21:28.320 And it's to the point now
00:21:29.720 where I think,
00:21:30.640 is it Netflix
00:21:31.240 that is now releasing
00:21:32.560 a documentary
00:21:33.480 on the Lincoln Project
00:21:35.700 Showtime?
00:21:36.580 Okay, done by,
00:21:37.260 if I'm not mistaken,
00:21:38.320 as I looked at it,
00:21:39.100 Fisher Stevens.
00:21:39.920 Remember that guy?
00:21:41.000 Actor, I guess now director.
00:21:42.420 He used to date Michelle Pfeiffer,
00:21:44.140 which is like your ones,
00:21:45.320 any man's greatest claim to fame.
00:21:47.360 In any event,
00:21:48.500 he was doing a documentary
00:21:49.820 on the Lincoln Project
00:21:50.900 and I think getting ready
00:21:52.320 to lionize them
00:21:53.280 and show everybody,
00:21:54.340 you know,
00:21:54.500 what badasses they are 0.82
00:21:55.520 and how they helped
00:21:56.060 take down Trump
00:21:56.900 and then Biden won the election.
00:21:58.540 And then while his cameras
00:22:00.320 were rolling,
00:22:01.360 they imploded
00:22:02.260 with a child molestation scandal.
00:22:06.020 One of their main guys
00:22:07.080 was accused of grooming
00:22:08.820 young men online
00:22:10.500 and sort of threw
00:22:11.380 his Lincoln Project
00:22:12.320 affiliations and so on.
00:22:13.560 And then everybody
00:22:13.940 at the Lincoln Project
00:22:14.480 claimed that they didn't
00:22:15.080 know anything about it.
00:22:16.320 And it got very dicey,
00:22:17.640 very fast.
00:22:18.240 And they went from
00:22:19.380 this organization raising,
00:22:20.420 I think it was like
00:22:20.800 $90 million to this scourge.
00:22:23.220 But they're still alive
00:22:25.220 and claiming to be coming back.
00:22:27.980 Here's just a little bit,
00:22:29.040 Ben, from the promo
00:22:30.520 of this Showtime piece.
00:22:32.440 I'm dying to know
00:22:32.880 what you think about this.
00:22:33.560 Listen.
00:22:35.180 Just trying to peel off
00:22:36.400 about 4%.
00:22:37.440 Once you've got a turd
00:22:40.920 in the punch bowl,
00:22:41.460 it's not punch anymore.
00:22:43.060 It's shit water.
00:22:44.160 People aren't going to tolerate
00:22:45.260 any more of this.
00:22:46.780 We knew that if we buy
00:22:47.920 these Fox News spots,
00:22:49.140 eventually he was going to see them.
00:22:51.440 Weaver and Schmidt
00:22:52.500 all losers.
00:22:54.100 The Lincoln Project
00:22:55.040 has raised $90 million.
00:22:57.440 We have the opportunity
00:22:58.400 to help save the goddamn country.
00:23:00.700 Joseph R. Biden
00:23:02.040 has elected the 46th
00:23:04.020 president of the United States.
00:23:07.540 Did you see the article
00:23:10.980 this morning?
00:23:11.660 It's really upsetting.
00:23:13.680 It's in the New York Times.
00:23:15.500 We're going to have
00:23:16.180 to have a talk about John.
00:23:17.400 I talked to victims
00:23:18.300 as recently as yesterday.
00:23:19.160 The Lincoln Project
00:23:19.700 said it was shots
00:23:20.720 calling him a predator,
00:23:21.800 a liar, 0.89
00:23:22.540 and an abuser.
00:23:24.900 I started to get suspicious
00:23:26.340 about where did the money go.
00:23:28.160 More people have resigned.
00:23:29.360 It's falling apart.
00:23:30.220 Oh my God.
00:23:31.460 I literally cannot talk about it.
00:23:33.020 Can't even tell you
00:23:33.680 why I can't talk about it.
00:23:35.060 It's not about ideology.
00:23:36.280 It's about money.
00:23:37.120 It's about power.
00:23:38.340 Why were we trying
00:23:39.180 to cover it up
00:23:39.860 if it didn't matter?
00:23:40.760 I feel like I've become
00:23:41.540 a victim
00:23:42.000 of what I was fighting against.
00:23:43.580 I don't have any good answers
00:23:46.500 except I kind of got
00:23:48.840 into being a gunslinger.
00:23:51.040 The old philosophy
00:23:52.080 was just win.
00:23:53.360 And we got there ugly.
00:23:54.540 I freely admit it.
00:23:55.700 Is making money
00:23:56.600 out of an outrage machine
00:23:58.000 helping democracy
00:23:59.020 or is it hurting it?
00:24:00.380 Nobody cares.
00:24:01.620 They care about
00:24:02.020 what we did in 20
00:24:03.180 and what we're going to do
00:24:04.280 in 22 and 24 and beyond.
00:24:06.600 Here's the key.
00:24:07.300 There's nothing noble
00:24:08.460 about us,
00:24:09.280 but we're useful.
00:24:10.900 Right now,
00:24:11.800 right now,
00:24:12.340 we got to tweet that out.
00:24:13.280 And if you really believe
00:24:14.460 this is a fight for democracy.
00:24:15.880 I see a civil war coming.
00:24:17.360 And if you believe
00:24:17.960 it's an existential fight.
00:24:19.080 This is the year
00:24:19.940 we are going to take back America. 0.93
00:24:23.500 You need every useful
00:24:24.860 son of a bitch 1.00
00:24:25.400 you can get on your side.
00:24:27.980 Okay, that literally ends
00:24:29.640 with that line
00:24:30.480 and somebody holding a rifle,
00:24:33.480 pointing it out into the sky
00:24:35.220 at some target.
00:24:35.900 I mean, if the Republicans,
00:24:37.340 the actual Republicans,
00:24:38.480 not the fake Republicans
00:24:39.240 at the Lincoln Project,
00:24:40.000 did that,
00:24:40.380 can you imagine the reaction?
00:24:42.020 Like, they're calling
00:24:43.080 for civil war.
00:24:44.200 They're calling for violence
00:24:45.100 in the street.
00:24:46.000 And just the mere fact
00:24:47.020 that this group
00:24:47.600 is being promoted,
00:24:49.400 lauded from the look of it
00:24:50.540 and back,
00:24:51.720 never-endingly back,
00:24:52.980 Ben,
00:24:53.200 what do we make of that?
00:24:54.600 Well, I mean,
00:24:55.000 the strange and respect phenomenon
00:24:56.340 is really a big one.
00:24:57.920 This idea that you were
00:24:59.240 basically a failed
00:25:00.200 Republican operative
00:25:01.600 and then you decided
00:25:02.340 to start some sort of group
00:25:03.720 that the left finds pleasing
00:25:05.320 and so they dump tons
00:25:06.420 of money into you,
00:25:06.980 like $90 million into you
00:25:08.380 and then you humiliate yourselves
00:25:09.800 because we have no idea
00:25:10.520 where the money went
00:25:11.140 and we have no idea
00:25:11.900 what your leadership was doing
00:25:12.900 or what they knew
00:25:13.400 and when they knew it
00:25:14.000 with regard to John Weaver
00:25:14.940 and his alleged grooming scandal
00:25:16.980 and all of the rest of this.
00:25:18.040 And now the fact
00:25:18.620 that they are back
00:25:19.340 and presumably will raise
00:25:20.120 tons of money
00:25:20.760 on the base of this,
00:25:21.660 like you can see the arc
00:25:22.660 of how the left wants
00:25:23.700 to think about
00:25:24.200 the Lincoln Project here.
00:25:25.200 It starts off with,
00:25:26.360 man, these guys are heroes.
00:25:27.320 They took down Trump.
00:25:28.100 First of all,
00:25:28.460 the Lincoln Project
00:25:29.000 did not take down Trump.
00:25:29.960 I mean, let's just be real about this.
00:25:31.240 The Lincoln Project
00:25:31.860 wasted an extraordinary
00:25:32.900 amount of money
00:25:33.480 and paid themselves
00:25:34.020 vast salaries to generate ads
00:25:36.160 that were watched online
00:25:37.120 and drove zero votes.
00:25:38.400 Like the only people
00:25:39.000 who cared about the Lincoln Project
00:25:40.160 were a bunch of Democrats
00:25:41.200 who were going to vote
00:25:41.660 against Trump anyway.
00:25:42.360 There's not a single Republican
00:25:43.280 who watched the Lincoln Project
00:25:44.640 and went, oh man,
00:25:45.320 now I'm going to go vote Biden.
00:25:46.240 That did not happen.
00:25:47.340 Okay, so it starts off
00:25:48.400 with this false narrative
00:25:49.120 and then they go to
00:25:49.940 the actual scandal
00:25:50.760 and then you think
00:25:51.740 that's where it's going to end.
00:25:52.480 Okay, well, this is about
00:25:53.340 how this group
00:25:54.480 was kind of a scam group
00:25:55.500 all along
00:25:56.560 and now they're,
00:25:57.220 and then it's like,
00:25:57.980 no, no, no,
00:25:58.260 but Trump is such a threat
00:25:59.420 that even people
00:26:00.420 who seem to maybe
00:26:01.820 have covered
00:26:02.260 for ephebophilia,
00:26:04.120 maybe people
00:26:04.920 who have scammed people
00:26:05.840 out of millions.
00:26:06.680 Well, we do need them
00:26:07.780 because Trump's just that bad
00:26:08.920 and that is sort of the element.
00:26:11.080 If we're talking about
00:26:11.520 support for Trump,
00:26:12.360 the thing that drives
00:26:13.060 more support for Trump
00:26:13.840 than any other thing
00:26:14.900 is the feeling
00:26:15.700 that his enemies
00:26:16.160 are even worse,
00:26:16.960 is this belief
00:26:17.660 that the people
00:26:18.280 who are out to get him
00:26:19.360 are people who are also
00:26:21.020 out to get you
00:26:21.660 and that they can literally
00:26:22.720 get away with anything.
00:26:23.660 There are no limits
00:26:24.660 to their behavior
00:26:25.200 because they are so focused
00:26:27.180 on stopping
00:26:27.700 the big bad orange man
00:26:28.780 that we need them
00:26:29.860 in our corner.
00:26:30.900 That attitude
00:26:31.760 is going to get Trump
00:26:32.780 reelected to the presidency
00:26:34.740 if that becomes
00:26:35.680 sort of the theme
00:26:36.420 of the left here.
00:26:37.560 And we've seen it
00:26:38.620 in so many departments.
00:26:39.600 I would definitely
00:26:39.900 want to talk to you
00:26:40.320 about what the FBI
00:26:40.980 is doing to this
00:26:42.280 pro-life activist
00:26:43.320 with 20 to 30 people
00:26:44.580 raiding the guy's home
00:26:45.560 for an alleged skirmish
00:26:46.660 he had with a 72-year-old man
00:26:48.120 outside of an abortion clinic.
00:26:49.560 How do 30 FBI agents
00:26:51.200 show up at your house
00:26:52.620 with guns drawn?
00:26:54.340 That's our FBI today
00:26:55.800 and there's another FBI story
00:26:57.240 breaking today.
00:26:57.700 I'm going to pause it here.
00:26:58.840 I'll squeeze in a quick
00:26:59.460 commercial break
00:26:59.900 and then I want to pick it up there
00:27:00.800 with what they're doing
00:27:02.000 and an extraordinary moment
00:27:03.700 from your new colleague
00:27:04.500 Jordan Peterson
00:27:05.420 sitting with Piers Morgan
00:27:07.200 as he becomes the subject
00:27:08.700 of more attacks
00:27:09.740 because he has the nerve
00:27:10.900 to stand up for young men
00:27:12.860 which is a sin.
00:27:13.800 You're not allowed to do that
00:27:14.460 in today's day and age.
00:27:15.480 Ben stays with us
00:27:16.100 for the whole show
00:27:16.700 but first we're bringing you
00:27:18.220 another of our memorable moments
00:27:19.680 from our first two years
00:27:20.500 of shows.
00:27:21.380 This one's a recent clip
00:27:22.320 but it was so funny
00:27:23.300 we had to throw it in the mix.
00:27:25.040 It's from when our pals
00:27:25.960 at the Ruthless podcast
00:27:27.220 were here in June
00:27:28.140 episode 338
00:27:29.900 and a certain
00:27:30.700 Washington Post reporter
00:27:32.200 was blasting her own colleagues
00:27:34.820 on Twitter.
00:27:36.000 Listen.
00:27:38.300 There was a co-worker
00:27:39.560 who put out this
00:27:41.140 string of tweets
00:27:41.820 where he was like
00:27:42.240 okay everyone
00:27:42.840 just like calm down
00:27:43.920 at the Washington Post
00:27:45.000 he's a journalist there
00:27:45.900 he's like everybody
00:27:46.680 just calm down.
00:27:47.900 Jose, right?
00:27:48.660 Jose?
00:27:49.200 Jose Real
00:27:49.700 she quote retweets him
00:27:51.720 and she's like
00:27:52.300 how dare you
00:27:54.200 how dare you
00:27:56.480 tell me to calm down
00:27:58.440 like don't you realize
00:28:00.120 this is just more abuse
00:28:01.760 for me
00:28:02.200 and then she gets
00:28:03.300 the blue checks
00:28:03.840 to come after him
00:28:04.460 he has to delete his account
00:28:05.440 this guy
00:28:05.740 but first he's like
00:28:09.200 Hispanic and gay
00:28:10.940 stop it
00:28:11.700 you can't
00:28:12.940 and that doesn't work
00:28:13.700 and Megan
00:28:14.380 all he's saying is like
00:28:15.300 can we just be kinder
00:28:16.400 to each other
00:28:16.920 like that's the offensive
00:28:18.240 thing he said
00:28:19.320 super offensive
00:28:20.120 and so she's like
00:28:21.000 here's how I'm kicking off
00:28:21.880 Pride Month
00:28:22.300 I'm gonna get
00:28:23.000 the only
00:28:23.720 he says I'm the only
00:28:24.600 like gay Mexican reporter 0.85
00:28:26.620 at the Washington Post
00:28:27.680 or something
00:28:28.060 she's like
00:28:28.660 happy Pride Month
00:28:29.720 I'm going after you next
00:28:31.120 and so she sends a mob 0.99
00:28:32.600 after him
00:28:33.300 that was amazing
00:28:35.180 what a crazy good story
00:28:36.620 now streaming
00:28:37.560 on Paramount Plus
00:28:38.780 someone is trying
00:28:40.460 to frame us
00:28:41.180 until our names
00:28:42.740 are cleared
00:28:43.380 we're fugitives
00:28:45.080 from Interpol
00:28:45.680 like Bonnie and Clyde
00:28:47.300 with better snacks
00:28:48.360 espionage
00:28:50.040 you still as good
00:28:50.880 a shot as you used
00:28:51.700 to be
00:28:52.180 better
00:28:53.780 is there love language
00:28:55.380 we like to walk
00:28:56.080 that fine line
00:28:56.820 between techno thriller
00:28:57.980 and romantic comedy
00:29:00.300 we make up
00:29:01.340 our own rules
00:29:02.100 NCIS
00:29:03.140 Tony and Ziva
00:29:04.000 now streaming
00:29:04.940 on Paramount Plus
00:29:06.100 okay let's talk
00:29:09.680 about what's happening
00:29:10.440 with the FBI
00:29:10.940 because I find this
00:29:11.440 really disturbing
00:29:11.960 so there was
00:29:13.080 a pro-life dad
00:29:14.280 who was recently
00:29:15.300 arrested
00:29:15.980 in a crazy
00:29:17.580 SWAT style
00:29:18.940 raid
00:29:19.520 now his wife
00:29:21.220 and he are
00:29:21.840 to a lesser extent
00:29:23.000 are speaking out
00:29:23.600 his name is Mark Hauk
00:29:24.500 Hauk
00:29:25.280 he's a Catholic
00:29:26.100 pro-life activist
00:29:26.840 from Pennsylvania
00:29:27.380 he was arrested
00:29:28.120 by the FBI
00:29:28.740 last Friday
00:29:29.660 in front of his wife
00:29:30.920 and seven children
00:29:31.940 here's what happened
00:29:33.700 he went
00:29:34.400 outside of an abortion
00:29:35.400 clinic
00:29:35.680 it was a
00:29:36.080 Planned Parenthood
00:29:36.680 clinic
00:29:37.440 in Philadelphia
00:29:38.260 he was on a public
00:29:39.420 sidewalk
00:29:39.740 which you're allowed
00:29:40.220 to be
00:29:40.520 and he had
00:29:42.100 some altercation
00:29:42.960 with a
00:29:43.500 this is back
00:29:43.940 in October
00:29:44.380 of 2021
00:29:45.000 in which he
00:29:46.540 pushed a
00:29:47.520 72 year old
00:29:48.700 man outside
00:29:49.060 the clinic
00:29:49.500 after
00:29:50.620 he was verbally
00:29:53.200 harassing
00:29:53.880 Hauk's 0.96
00:29:54.280 12 year old
00:29:55.200 son
00:29:55.420 so this guy
00:29:57.240 Curtis
00:29:58.000 or Mark Hauk
00:29:58.740 got upset
00:29:59.400 that this
00:29:59.820 72 year old
00:30:00.640 man was
00:30:01.140 engaging directly
00:30:01.960 with Mark's
00:30:02.980 12 year old
00:30:04.440 and he
00:30:05.820 defended his
00:30:06.640 son
00:30:06.920 pushed the
00:30:07.640 older man
00:30:08.280 the man
00:30:08.960 fell
00:30:09.480 had a
00:30:10.340 scrape
00:30:10.780 literally
00:30:11.160 just a
00:30:11.640 scrape
00:30:11.960 local law
00:30:12.760 enforcement
00:30:13.020 looked into it
00:30:13.520 and said
00:30:13.620 we're not
00:30:13.840 prosecuting this
00:30:14.460 this is like
00:30:14.900 this is nothing
00:30:15.920 this is a
00:30:16.700 small skirmish
00:30:17.300 it's nothing
00:30:18.000 and moved on
00:30:19.120 then in May
00:30:20.040 Mark Hauk
00:30:21.240 receives a
00:30:21.700 target letter
00:30:22.360 from the DOJ
00:30:23.360 accusing him
00:30:24.500 saying he's
00:30:25.220 being investigated
00:30:25.720 by a grand jury
00:30:26.420 for violating
00:30:27.000 the Freedom of
00:30:27.720 Access Clinic
00:30:28.420 Entrances Act
00:30:29.960 which he did
00:30:30.540 not do
00:30:31.000 he didn't
00:30:31.920 obstruct any
00:30:32.820 entrance
00:30:33.180 just had
00:30:33.600 this skirmish
00:30:34.140 it makes it
00:30:35.320 a federal crime
00:30:35.840 to use force
00:30:36.560 with the intent
00:30:37.160 to injure
00:30:37.640 intimidate
00:30:38.120 and interfere
00:30:38.680 with anyone
00:30:39.220 because that
00:30:39.860 person provides
00:30:40.480 reproductive health
00:30:41.240 care
00:30:41.500 okay that's
00:30:42.480 not again
00:30:43.080 that's not
00:30:43.360 what happened
00:30:43.860 but notwithstanding
00:30:45.260 that they
00:30:45.760 sicked the FBI
00:30:46.580 on him
00:30:47.080 and when they
00:30:47.700 found out
00:30:48.160 that the DOJ
00:30:48.920 was looking
00:30:49.420 at him
00:30:49.780 the grand jury
00:30:50.580 had been
00:30:50.960 convened
00:30:51.540 his lawyer
00:30:52.800 contacted
00:30:54.120 the DOJ
00:30:55.040 and said
00:30:55.780 we will
00:30:56.900 surrender him
00:30:57.880 we can work
00:30:59.600 this out
00:30:59.980 you know
00:31:00.280 we'll bring him
00:31:00.840 right in
00:31:01.120 that's what
00:31:01.380 any lawyer
00:31:01.740 would do
00:31:02.160 and didn't
00:31:03.480 get a response
00:31:04.520 and next thing
00:31:05.080 they know
00:31:05.560 his house
00:31:06.460 gets raided
00:31:06.960 with his
00:31:07.320 seven children
00:31:08.040 watching
00:31:08.480 his wife
00:31:09.580 spoke to
00:31:10.340 Tucker
00:31:10.720 I think
00:31:11.540 last night
00:31:12.120 here it is
00:31:13.020 it was
00:31:14.360 devastating
00:31:15.580 I mean
00:31:16.320 as you can
00:31:17.180 imagine
00:31:17.580 it's
00:31:18.700 I mean
00:31:18.980 it's hard
00:31:19.480 to even
00:31:20.140 express
00:31:20.780 the victimization
00:31:22.700 and you know
00:31:24.140 how traumatized
00:31:25.540 we all are
00:31:26.600 due to
00:31:28.240 this unnecessary
00:31:29.880 thing that
00:31:32.320 happened to us
00:31:32.980 how many
00:31:33.920 FBI agents
00:31:34.620 with guns
00:31:35.420 would you
00:31:35.880 estimate
00:31:36.280 showed up
00:31:36.700 at your
00:31:36.940 house
00:31:37.300 it had
00:31:40.680 to have
00:31:41.560 been
00:31:41.940 20
00:31:42.820 25
00:31:43.380 30
00:31:44.340 I mean
00:31:45.120 we have
00:31:46.160 a large
00:31:46.640 property
00:31:47.640 my entire
00:31:49.240 front
00:31:50.440 yard
00:31:51.460 you could
00:31:52.760 barely
00:31:53.260 see it
00:31:54.000 it was
00:31:54.280 covered
00:31:54.640 with
00:31:55.180 at least
00:31:56.180 15
00:31:57.340 big trucks
00:31:58.860 and cars
00:31:59.580 how are
00:32:00.280 your children
00:32:00.680 doing I have
00:32:01.220 to ask
00:32:01.620 you know
00:32:04.420 it's it's hard
00:32:05.280 to tell
00:32:05.740 the older
00:32:06.340 ones
00:32:06.780 we can
00:32:07.360 talk
00:32:07.740 we can
00:32:08.180 cry
00:32:08.620 we've
00:32:09.760 you know
00:32:10.080 we've had
00:32:10.420 some
00:32:10.620 counseling
00:32:11.040 we have
00:32:12.360 more
00:32:12.660 counseling
00:32:13.100 to do
00:32:13.740 and the
00:32:15.240 little ones
00:32:15.780 they're
00:32:16.200 scared
00:32:16.560 they're
00:32:17.320 scared
00:32:17.620 there's
00:32:17.900 a lot
00:32:18.100 of
00:32:18.200 crying
00:32:18.620 his lawyer
00:32:20.740 been saying
00:32:21.320 this is a
00:32:21.820 gross
00:32:22.080 abuse of
00:32:22.560 power
00:32:22.840 meant to
00:32:23.460 intimidate
00:32:24.560 pro-life
00:32:25.540 and other
00:32:26.260 Americans
00:32:27.020 who are
00:32:27.460 speaking out
00:32:28.400 about these
00:32:28.920 divisive
00:32:29.340 issues
00:32:29.660 I mean
00:32:30.880 it is
00:32:31.120 amazing
00:32:31.400 the amount
00:32:31.740 of resources
00:32:32.280 the DOJ
00:32:32.860 and the FBI
00:32:33.280 will pour
00:32:33.640 into something
00:32:34.100 like this
00:32:35.000 an altercation
00:32:35.860 that had
00:32:36.140 nothing to do
00:32:36.520 with blocking
00:32:36.900 people from
00:32:37.320 actually going
00:32:38.060 into the
00:32:38.380 clinic
00:32:38.540 particularly
00:32:38.860 medical
00:32:39.160 professionals
00:32:39.580 but
00:32:40.360 apparently
00:32:40.820 the FBI
00:32:41.280 and DOJ
00:32:41.740 have very
00:32:42.260 little time
00:32:42.660 to spend
00:32:43.020 on the
00:32:43.460 vast spate
00:32:43.960 of bombings
00:32:44.780 and burnings
00:32:46.120 and defacing
00:32:47.980 of churches
00:32:48.920 pro-life
00:32:49.400 pregnancy
00:32:49.780 centers
00:32:50.260 all of that
00:32:51.260 is just
00:32:51.900 random
00:32:52.460 events
00:32:53.000 that are
00:32:53.300 happening
00:32:53.920 the rather
00:32:55.240 disparate
00:32:55.760 treatment
00:32:56.100 of various
00:32:56.680 crimes
00:32:57.000 is shocking
00:32:57.880 coming from
00:32:58.460 Merrick
00:32:59.020 Garland
00:32:59.420 the DOJ
00:33:00.120 and the
00:33:01.000 FBI
00:33:01.320 and again
00:33:01.800 this is not
00:33:02.360 the fault
00:33:02.740 of
00:33:02.960 we keep
00:33:03.640 saying this
00:33:04.020 and it's
00:33:04.240 true
00:33:04.400 it's not
00:33:04.640 the fault
00:33:04.960 of the
00:33:05.200 low-level
00:33:05.560 FBI
00:33:05.960 agents
00:33:06.440 agencies
00:33:07.360 like the
00:33:07.840 FBI
00:33:07.980 but the
00:33:08.980 higher-ups
00:33:09.860 at these
00:33:10.180 places
00:33:10.520 are extraordinarily
00:33:11.360 political
00:33:11.800 and they know
00:33:12.220 where their
00:33:12.500 bread is
00:33:12.820 buttered
00:33:13.040 and this is
00:33:13.300 one of the
00:33:13.540 big problems
00:33:14.060 in general
00:33:15.060 with the
00:33:15.760 executive branch
00:33:16.700 and the way
00:33:17.240 law enforcement
00:33:17.840 is done
00:33:18.460 is we saw
00:33:19.340 this with
00:33:19.640 Barack Obama
00:33:20.300 and the
00:33:20.500 IRS 0.92
00:33:20.880 all that
00:33:21.540 all that
00:33:21.560 has to
00:33:21.840 has to
00:33:21.860 happen
00:33:22.100 is that
00:33:22.360 there's
00:33:22.500 a vague
00:33:22.980 guideline
00:33:23.500 given
00:33:23.820 by the
00:33:24.140 people
00:33:24.300 at the
00:33:24.460 very
00:33:24.620 top
00:33:24.940 and
00:33:25.080 it's
00:33:25.840 who will
00:33:26.500 read me
00:33:26.740 of this
00:33:26.960 meddlesome
00:33:27.300 priest
00:33:27.640 and suddenly
00:33:28.060 you have
00:33:28.300 a bunch
00:33:28.540 of people
00:33:28.840 in the
00:33:29.040 executive
00:33:29.320 branch
00:33:29.620 who are
00:33:29.780 rushing
00:33:29.980 to do
00:33:30.300 that
00:33:30.480 sort
00:33:30.660 of work
00:33:31.100 there
00:33:31.460 doesn't
00:33:31.580 need
00:33:31.700 to be
00:33:31.800 an
00:33:31.920 explicit
00:33:32.180 order
00:33:32.460 to intimidate
00:33:33.020 people
00:33:33.220 who are pro-life
00:33:33.840 all you say
00:33:34.260 is that
00:33:34.560 pro-life
00:33:35.060 people
00:33:35.320 everywhere
00:33:35.740 are engaged
00:33:36.740 in some
00:33:37.140 sort of
00:33:37.600 extremist
00:33:38.220 activity
00:33:38.620 and suddenly
00:33:39.220 you have
00:33:39.460 events like
00:33:39.900 this that
00:33:40.240 suddenly
00:33:40.540 pop up
00:33:41.060 on the
00:33:41.260 radar
00:33:41.460 and it
00:33:42.900 comes
00:33:43.280 just as
00:33:43.640 Miranda 0.51
00:33:43.920 Devine
00:33:44.300 over at
00:33:44.900 the New York
00:33:45.140 Post

00:33:46.300 an exclusive
00:33:47.120 report
00:33:47.800 today
00:33:48.340 about the
00:33:48.800 FBI
00:33:49.120 another
00:33:50.080 guy
00:33:50.480 he's
00:33:51.340 27
00:33:51.700 years
00:33:51.960 old
00:33:52.240 Stephen
00:33:52.560 Friend
00:33:52.880 is his
00:33:53.200 name
00:33:53.440 he says
00:33:54.180 he's
00:33:54.340 a
00:33:54.460 whistleblower
00:33:55.020 12 year
00:33:55.540 veteran
00:33:55.800 of the
00:33:56.000 FBI
00:33:56.280 and a
00:33:56.720 SWAT
00:33:56.940 team
00:33:57.160 member
00:33:57.500 and he
00:33:58.560 was just
00:33:58.880 suspended
00:33:59.240 last
00:33:59.560 Monday
00:33:59.940 why
00:34:00.380 he was
00:34:01.040 stripped
00:34:01.220 of his
00:34:01.480 gun
00:34:01.660 and his
00:34:01.880 badge
00:34:02.120 escorted
00:34:02.520 out of
00:34:02.860 the FBI
00:34:03.180 field
00:34:03.460 office
00:34:03.660 in
00:34:03.840 Daytona
00:34:04.160 Beach
00:34:04.320 Florida
00:34:04.600 after
00:34:05.240 complaining
00:34:05.660 to his
00:34:10.240 in a
00:34:10.760 SWAT
00:34:11.120 raid
00:34:11.520 that
00:34:12.140 he
00:34:12.300 believed
00:34:12.600 violated
00:34:13.060 FBI
00:34:13.380 policy
00:34:13.880 against
00:34:14.260 a
00:34:14.460 January
00:34:14.800 6th
00:34:15.440 subject
00:34:16.140 who
00:34:16.960 was
00:34:17.120 accused
00:34:17.400 of a
00:34:17.760 misdemeanor
00:34:18.440 of
00:34:18.860 misdemeanor
00:34:19.440 charges
00:34:19.880 he said
00:34:20.840 by the way
00:34:21.200 this guy
00:34:21.520 said
00:34:22.180 he was
00:34:22.600 not a
00:34:22.860 Trump
00:34:23.000 supporter
00:34:23.340 he did
00:34:23.680 not
00:34:23.880 vote
00:34:24.180 for
00:34:24.360 Trump
00:34:24.620 either
00:34:25.240 one
00:34:25.520 of
00:34:25.640 the
00:34:25.740 last
00:34:25.980 elections
00:34:26.580 but
00:34:27.420 he
00:34:27.660 thought
00:34:27.940 this
00:34:28.140 was
00:34:28.360 absurd
00:34:28.940 that
00:34:29.260 they

00:35:10.720 that

00:35:11.540 wing
00:35:11.700 domestic

00:35:12.900 a
00:35:13.120 widespread
00:35:13.620 national
00:35:14.120 problem
00:35:14.540 that
00:35:15.060 goes
00:35:15.240 far
00:35:15.460 beyond
00:35:15.700 what
00:35:15.860 happened
00:35:16.120 on
00:35:16.260 J6
00:35:16.760 he
00:35:18.200 was
00:35:18.740 listed
00:35:19.600 as
00:35:20.080 the
00:35:20.280 lead
00:35:20.580 agent
00:35:21.000 in
00:35:21.600 cases
00:35:21.880 he
00:35:22.100 had
00:35:22.280 not
00:35:22.480 investigated
00:35:23.040 and
00:35:23.720 in
00:35:23.860 which
00:35:24.020 his
00:35:24.200 supervisor
00:35:24.600 had
00:35:24.860 not
00:35:25.080 signed
00:35:25.380 off
00:35:25.740 all
00:35:25.960 in
00:35:26.080 violation
00:35:26.380 FBI
00:35:26.720 policy
00:35:27.160 FBI
00:35:27.480 denies
00:35:27.900 it
00:35:28.040 and
00:35:28.160 says
00:35:28.400 he
00:35:28.980 got
00:35:34.220 questionable
00:35:34.920 judgment
00:35:35.420 and
00:35:36.100 unwillingness
00:35:36.880 to comply
00:35:37.260 with
00:35:37.440 rules
00:35:37.760 and
00:35:37.940 regs
00:35:38.380 so
00:35:38.640 this
00:35:38.820 is
00:35:38.940 not
00:35:39.140 and
00:35:39.260 by
00:35:39.360 the
00:35:39.420 way
00:35:39.520 30
00:35:39.800 FBI
00:35:40.140 agents
00:35:40.480 are
00:35:40.580 now
00:35:40.720 standing
00:35:41.000 up
00:35:41.260 for
00:35:41.500 this
00:35:41.660 guy
00:35:41.860 saying
00:35:42.200 he
00:35:42.280 was
00:35:42.360 a
00:35:42.460 model
00:35:42.660 agent
00:35:42.960 so
00:35:43.400 this
00:35:43.500 is
00:35:43.520 a
00:35:43.620 pattern
00:35:43.880 yep
00:35:44.980 I
00:35:45.180 mean
00:35:45.300 again
00:35:45.760 if
00:35:45.940 you
00:35:46.000 look
00:35:46.120 at
00:35:46.160 the
00:35:46.260 history
00:35:46.480 of
00:35:46.600 the
00:35:46.680 FBI
00:35:46.940 the
00:35:47.160 truth
00:35:47.320 is
00:35:47.480 that
00:35:47.580 it's
00:35:47.700 not
00:35:47.820 particularly
00:35:48.140 shocking
00:35:48.580 that
00:35:48.800 the
00:35:48.900 FBI
00:35:49.120 has
00:35:49.240 now
00:35:49.380 been
00:35:49.520 politicized
00:35:50.340 from
00:35:50.540 left
00:35:50.860 you
00:35:51.000 go
00:35:51.180 all
00:35:51.340 the
00:35:51.400 back
00:35:51.600 to
00:35:51.700 the
00:35:51.780 foundations
00:35:52.180 of
00:35:52.420 the
00:35:52.540 FBI
00:35:52.800 in
00:35:52.940 the
00:35:53.020 early
00:35:53.180 20th
00:35:53.540 century
00:35:53.860 you
00:35:54.360 saw
00:35:54.480 the
00:35:54.600 FBI
00:35:54.800 was
00:35:54.960 embroiled
00:35:55.300 in
00:35:55.420 controversies
00:35:56.040 surrounding
00:35:56.500 going
00:35:56.780 after
00:35:57.100 communists
00:35:57.720 in
00:35:57.840 the
00:35:57.920 1920s
00:35:58.660 and
00:35:58.760 communists
00:35:59.080 going
00:35:59.280 in
00:35:59.780 the
00:36:00.060 1950s
00:36:00.820 and
00:36:01.200 now
00:36:01.340 you
00:36:01.480 see
00:36:01.640 that
00:36:01.840 they've
00:36:02.160 been
00:36:02.360 essentially
00:36:02.940 weaponized
00:36:03.700 on
00:36:04.300 behalf
00:36:04.560 of
00:36:04.680 the
00:36:04.780 Biden
00:36:04.960 administration
00:36:05.440 to
00:36:05.680 go
00:36:05.820 after
00:36:06.120 the
00:36:06.700 people
00:36:07.260 who
00:36:07.640 Joe
00:36:08.160 Biden
00:36:08.420 has
00:36:08.780 so
00:36:09.120 subtly
00:36:09.460 termed
00:36:10.200 MAGA
00:36:10.540 Republicans
00:36:11.000 this
00:36:11.600 idea
00:36:12.000 that
00:36:12.320 everyone
00:36:12.720 I
00:36:12.920 disagree
00:36:13.220 with
00:36:13.560 is
00:36:21.400 essentially
00:36:22.380 broadening
00:36:22.900 the
00:36:23.100 scope
00:36:23.440 of
00:36:23.840 J6
00:36:24.260 investigations
00:36:24.880 to
00:36:25.420 now
00:36:25.640 include
00:36:26.100 anybody
00:36:26.500 and
00:36:26.720 everybody
00:36:27.180 who
00:36:27.760 is
00:36:28.080 tangentially
00:36:28.640 involved
00:36:29.180 in
00:36:29.520 MAGA
00:36:30.360 Republican
00:36:30.780 politics
00:36:31.240 and
00:36:31.780 we're
00:36:32.220 getting
00:36:32.360 to
00:36:32.500 very
00:36:32.800 risky
00:36:33.180 territory
00:36:33.640 the
00:36:33.880 FBI
00:36:34.260 runs
00:36:35.080 up
00:36:35.220 almost
00:36:35.820 routinely
00:36:36.260 on
00:36:36.600 serious
00:36:36.940 Fourth
00:36:37.540 and Fifth
00:36:37.820 Amendment
00:36:38.040 violations
00:36:38.620 and
00:36:39.100 once
00:36:39.300 they
00:36:39.420 become
00:36:39.660 weaponized
00:36:40.060 on
00:36:40.220 behalf
00:36:40.500 of
00:36:40.600 a
00:36:40.680 political
00:36:40.940 point
00:36:41.200 of
00:36:41.300 view
00:36:41.500 they
00:36:41.900 rely
00:36:42.160 on
00:36:42.320 the
00:36:42.420 American
00:36:42.700 people's
00:36:43.120 trust
00:36:43.400 once
00:36:43.820 that
00:36:43.980 trust
00:36:44.220 is
00:36:44.380 gone
00:36:44.740 it's
00:36:45.560 not
00:36:45.700 going
00:36:45.800 to
00:36:45.840 be
00:36:45.920 restored
00:36:51.400 louder
00:36:51.640 well
00:36:52.500 here's
00:36:52.780 the
00:36:52.920 thing
00:36:53.200 it
00:36:53.740 turns
00:36:54.000 out
00:36:54.240 that
00:36:54.460 this
00:36:54.740 Mr.
00:36:55.060 Hauk
00:36:55.240 may have
00:36:55.500 been
00:36:55.600 wasting
00:36:55.880 his
00:36:56.100 time
00:36:56.420 outside
00:36:57.000 of
00:36:57.200 that
00:36:57.320 Planned

00:36:58.040 objecting
00:36:58.600 to
00:36:58.900 abortions
00:36:59.700 because
00:37:00.200 there's
00:37:01.140 really
00:37:01.340 nothing
00:37:01.560 there
00:37:01.740 but a
00:37:01.960 clump
00:37:02.120 of
00:37:02.280 cells
00:37:02.540 as
00:37:03.140 many
00:37:03.500 on
00:37:03.620 the
00:37:03.720 left
00:37:03.880 will
00:37:04.040 tell
00:37:04.260 you
00:37:04.500 and
00:37:05.140 there's
00:37:05.420 definitely
00:37:05.660 not a
00:37:05.900 heartbeat
00:37:06.160 just ask
00:37:06.900 Stacey
00:37:07.340 Abrams

00:37:14.820 go to
00:37:14.980 the
00:37:15.060 doctor

00:37:15.400 hear
00:37:15.500 that
00:37:15.620 little
00:37:15.780 heartbeat

00:37:32.800 no
00:37:33.260 such
00:37:33.460 thing
00:37:33.580 as
00:37:41.760 a
00:37:48.400 manufactured
00:37:49.240 sound
00:37:49.720 designed
00:37:50.140 to
00:37:50.300 convince
00:37:50.600 people
00:37:51.020 that
00:37:51.760 men
00:37:52.220 have
00:37:52.440 the
00:37:52.580 right
00:37:52.720 to
00:37:52.840 take
00:37:52.980 control
00:37:53.260 of
00:37:53.400 a
00:37:53.520 woman's 0.82
00:37:53.880 body
00:37:54.200 I
00:37:54.700 mean
00:37:54.820 god
00:37:55.040 you
00:37:55.160 guys
00:37:55.320 have
00:37:55.400 been
00:37:55.500 at
00:37:55.640 this
00:37:55.760 for
00:37:55.900 a
00:37:56.060 long
00:37:56.340 time
00:37:56.700 you
00:37:56.880 when
00:37:57.060 did
00:37:57.180 you
00:37:57.240 get
00:37:57.360 together
00:37:57.720 and
00:37:58.420 come
00:37:58.620 up
00:37:58.740 with
00:37:58.840 this
00:37:58.980 plan
00:37:59.260 I
00:38:00.120 gotta
00:38:00.280 tell
00:38:00.460 you
00:38:00.540 the
00:38:00.640 patriarchy 0.85
00:38:01.100 is
00:38:01.320 unbelievably
00:38:01.800 clever
00:38:02.140 not
00:38:02.380 only
00:38:02.580 did
00:38:02.720 we
00:38:02.820 come
00:38:02.960 up
00:38:03.060 with
00:38:03.160 ultrasound
00:38:03.520 machines
00:38:04.020 that
00:38:04.200 actually
00:38:04.420 faked
00:38:04.700 the
00:38:04.860 heartbeat
00:38:05.120 it's
00:38:05.620 a
00:38:05.860 laugh
00:38:06.180 track
00:38:06.440 on
00:38:06.620 we
00:38:07.860 actually
00:38:08.100 faked
00:38:08.440 the
00:38:08.600 heartbeat
00:38:08.920 we're
00:38:09.420 so
00:38:09.580 clever
00:38:09.800 that
00:38:09.940 we
00:38:10.040 somehow
00:38:10.280 got
00:38:10.560 you
00:38:10.740 women 1.00
00:38:11.000 to
00:38:11.220 accept
00:38:11.540 that
00:38:11.720 if
00:38:11.840 men
00:38:12.060 commit
00:38:12.340 crimes
00:38:12.660 and
00:38:12.780 call
00:38:12.920 themselves
00:38:13.240 women 1.00
00:38:13.460 these
00:38:13.620 are
00:38:13.700 now
00:38:13.840 female 0.86
00:38:14.080 crimes
00:38:14.420 I
00:38:14.520 mean
00:38:14.600 that's
00:38:14.840 how
00:38:14.940 good
00:38:15.120 we
00:38:15.280 are
00:38:15.460 at
00:38:15.580 this
00:38:15.740 sort
00:38:15.920 of
00:38:16.000 stuff
00:38:16.220 that
00:38:18.340 we
00:38:18.440 can
00:38:18.600 literally
00:38:19.040 compete
00:38:19.760 for
00:38:19.940 one
00:38:20.140 day
00:38:20.280 as
00:38:20.400 women 1.00
00:38:20.620 and
00:38:20.740 become
00:38:20.900 the
00:38:21.060 best
00:38:21.260 women 1.00
00:38:21.500 at
00:38:21.820 everything
00:38:22.100 so
00:38:22.560 it's
00:38:22.920 not
00:38:23.040 particularly
00:38:23.320 shocking
00:38:23.720 that
00:38:23.900 we're
00:38:24.140 clever
00:38:24.380 enough
00:38:24.600 to come
00:38:24.800 up
00:38:24.900 with
00:38:24.980 machines
00:38:36.620 she
00:38:36.860 suggests
00:38:37.260 that
00:38:37.420 the
00:38:37.560 ultrasound
00:38:37.860 is
00:38:38.100 capable
00:38:38.420 of
00:38:39.020 essentially
00:38:39.420 faking
00:38:39.780 a sound
00:38:40.100 for
00:38:40.220 electrical
00:38:40.540 activity
00:38:40.900 that's
00:38:41.100 not
00:38:41.260 what
00:38:41.480 an
00:38:41.640 ultrasound
00:38:41.980 does
00:38:42.380 as
00:38:42.620 the
00:38:42.760 term
00:38:43.000 ultrasound
00:38:43.580 might
00:38:43.940 convey
00:38:44.340 it's
00:38:44.800 actually
00:38:45.020 using
00:38:45.300 sonar
00:38:45.660 and the
00:38:46.140 basic
00:38:46.460 idea
00:38:46.680 of an
00:38:46.880 ultrasound
00:38:47.140 is
00:38:47.380 that
00:38:47.500 it
00:38:47.620 is
00:38:47.840 measuring
00:38:48.220 a
00:38:48.460 sound
00:38:48.700 that
00:38:48.860 is
00:38:48.980 coming
00:38:49.200 from
00:38:49.780 the
00:38:50.040 fetus
00:38:50.320 the
00:38:50.960 notion
00:38:51.600 that
00:38:51.880 there
00:38:52.180 is
00:38:52.440 no
00:38:52.800 heartbeat
00:38:53.120 because
00:38:53.420 the
00:38:53.600 heart
00:38:53.780 has
00:38:53.960 not
00:38:54.080 fully
00:38:54.240 developed
00:38:54.520 what
00:38:54.700 you're
00:38:54.840 hearing
00:38:55.180 when
00:38:55.740 you hear
00:38:56.120 the
00:38:56.440 baby's
00:38:56.760 heartbeat
00:38:57.060 at six
00:38:57.440 weeks
00:38:57.640 is
00:38:58.060 not
00:38:58.240 a
00:38:58.400 heart
00:38:58.560 developed
00:38:58.880 in
00:38:59.000 the
00:38:59.080 way
00:38:59.200 that
00:38:59.380 your
00:38:59.620 heart
00:38:59.920 or
00:39:00.200 my
00:39:00.540 heart
00:39:00.760 is
00:39:00.960 currently
00:39:01.300 as
00:39:01.660 an
00:39:01.760 adult
00:39:02.000 you're
00:39:02.200 not
00:39:02.340 hearing
00:39:02.640 the
00:39:03.280 valves
00:39:03.640 opening
00:39:03.900 and
00:39:04.060 closing
00:39:04.320 for
00:39:04.540 example
00:39:04.840 but
00:39:05.040 you
00:39:05.160 are
00:39:05.360 in
00:39:05.500 fact
00:39:05.680 hearing
00:39:06.000 fetal
00:39:06.600 cardiac
00:39:07.000 activity
00:39:07.440 which
00:39:07.640 is
00:39:07.740 the
00:39:07.840 definition
00:39:08.200 of
00:39:08.720 a
00:39:09.040 heartbeat
00:39:09.380 in
00:39:10.120 the
00:39:10.240 same
00:39:10.400 way
00:39:10.620 that
00:39:10.840 if
00:39:11.240 you
00:39:11.460 said
00:39:11.680 a
00:39:12.020 fetus
00:39:12.280 has
00:39:12.400 brain
00:39:12.640 activity
00:39:12.960 but
00:39:13.140 it's
00:39:13.240 not
00:39:13.460 the
00:39:13.760 brain
00:39:13.940 activity
00:39:14.220 you'd
00:39:14.520 have
00:39:14.620 as
00:39:14.720 a
00:39:14.820 20
00:39:15.000 year
00:39:27.060 of
00:39:27.980 women 1.00
00:39:28.560 again
00:39:29.180 we're
00:39:29.720 amazing
00:39:30.060 at
00:39:30.200 this
00:39:30.360 I
00:39:30.480 gotta
00:39:30.600 say
00:39:30.880 I
00:39:31.480 thought
00:39:31.640 we
00:39:31.760 were
00:39:31.860 supposed
00:39:32.000 to
00:39:32.120 be
00:39:32.220 against
00:39:32.480 conspiracy
00:39:32.880 theories
00:39:33.300 we
00:39:33.500 weren't
00:39:33.720 supposed
00:39:33.920 to
00:39:34.100 like
00:39:34.340 you
00:39:34.840 and
00:39:35.440 we're
00:39:35.560 supposed
00:39:35.760 to
00:39:35.860 be
00:39:35.960 called
00:39:36.140 the
00:39:36.240 Democrats
00:39:37.280 are
00:39:37.520 supposed
00:39:37.700 to
00:39:37.800 be
00:39:37.880 this
00:39:38.060 party
00:39:38.480 that
00:39:39.000 brings
00:39:39.200 in
00:39:39.380 people
00:39:39.660 of
00:39:39.860 reason
00:39:40.160 to
00:39:40.380 say
00:39:40.640 no
00:39:40.920 we
00:39:41.120 reject
00:39:41.540 crazy
00:39:42.260 theories
00:39:42.580 about
00:39:42.920 pedophile
00:39:43.660 rings
00:39:43.920 being
00:39:44.160 run
00:39:44.420 out
00:39:44.540 of
00:39:44.640 pizza
00:39:44.820 parlors
00:39:45.200 in
00:39:45.320 the
00:39:45.420 D.C.
00:39:45.740 area
00:39:45.880 okay
00:39:46.200 great
00:39:46.580 most
00:39:46.840 of
00:39:46.940 us
00:39:47.020 normal
00:39:47.260 people
00:39:47.520 Democrats
00:39:47.920 are
00:39:48.040 not
00:39:48.220 say
00:39:48.640 yeah
00:39:48.840 that's
00:39:49.080 bullshit
00:39:49.320 but
00:39:49.980 what
00:39:50.380 this
00:39:50.600 is
00:39:50.760 lunacy
00:39:51.180 and
00:39:51.660 nobody
00:39:51.920 on her
00:39:52.280 side
00:39:52.500 is
00:39:52.640 calling
00:39:52.860 her
00:39:53.020 out
00:39:53.220 on
00:39:53.360 this
00:39:53.640 and
00:39:54.100 by
00:39:54.280 the
00:39:54.400 way
00:39:54.600 it's
00:39:54.880 not
00:39:55.120 just
00:39:55.320 Dacey 0.99
00:39:55.600 Abrams
00:39:55.900 because
00:39:56.060 no
00:39:56.280 sooner
00:39:56.500 does
00:39:56.700 she
00:39:56.820 say
00:39:57.000 that
00:39:57.300 than
00:39:57.500 Planned
00:39:57.920 Parenthood
00:39:58.420 which
00:39:59.020 for
00:39:59.520 years
00:40:00.300 was
00:40:01.120 defining
00:40:01.720 on
00:40:02.640 its
00:40:02.780 website
00:40:03.160 this
00:40:03.760 this
00:40:04.240 whole
00:40:04.400 situation
00:40:04.860 as
00:40:05.040 follows
00:40:05.320 at
00:40:05.560 five
00:40:05.940 to
00:40:06.120 six
00:40:06.340 weeks
00:40:06.560 of
00:40:06.720 pregnancy
00:40:07.080 a
00:40:07.940 very
00:40:08.300 basic
00:40:08.820 beating
00:40:09.220 heart
00:40:09.760 and
00:40:10.540 circulatory
00:40:11.340 system
00:40:11.900 develops
00:40:12.760 a
00:40:13.420 very
00:40:13.760 basic
00:40:14.240 beating
00:40:14.660 heart
00:40:15.060 now
00:40:15.660 they've
00:40:15.960 changed
00:40:16.260 it
00:40:16.420 to
00:40:16.620 it
00:40:17.340 sounds
00:40:17.840 like
00:40:18.080 a
00:40:18.240 heartbeat
00:40:18.600 on
00:40:18.920 an
00:40:19.100 ultrasound
00:40:19.500 but
00:40:20.220 it's
00:40:20.400 not
00:40:20.580 a
00:40:20.720 fully
00:40:20.920 formed
00:40:21.240 heart
00:40:21.500 be
00:40:21.960 aware
00:40:22.300 be
00:40:22.880 aware
00:40:23.240 okay
00:40:24.260 that
00:40:24.440 makes
00:40:24.640 me
00:40:24.760 feel
00:40:24.960 a lot
00:40:25.220 better
00:40:25.500 okay
00:40:25.860 I
00:40:26.040 guess
00:40:26.360 that's
00:40:26.600 going
00:40:26.700 to
00:40:26.760 give
00:40:26.840 us
00:40:26.940 the
00:40:27.060 permission
00:40:27.300 we
00:40:27.440 need
00:40:27.540 anyway
00:40:27.780 it's
00:40:28.100 just
00:40:28.320 it
00:40:28.840 shows
00:40:29.060 you
00:40:29.160 how
00:40:29.260 the
00:40:29.380 left
00:40:29.520 works
00:40:29.740 together
00:40:30.040 right
00:40:30.280 I
00:40:30.380 mean
00:40:30.500 she
00:40:30.820 says
00:40:31.100 it
00:40:31.280 Planned
00:40:31.700 Parenthood
00:40:31.940 goes
00:40:40.540 their
00:40:40.660 particular
00:40:41.000 definition
00:40:41.620 you
00:40:41.960 see
00:40:42.080 this
00:40:42.260 over
00:40:42.480 and
00:40:42.600 over
00:40:42.800 is
00:40:42.940 that
00:40:43.020 the
00:40:43.140 left
00:40:43.300 will
00:40:43.420 make
00:40:43.580 some
00:40:43.720 sort
00:40:43.880 of
00:40:44.220 weird
00:40:44.580 linguistic
00:40:45.080 or
00:40:45.580 illogical
00:40:46.340 move
00:40:46.540 and then
00:40:47.120 really
00:40:48.260 really
00:40:48.720 quickly
00:40:49.040 the
00:40:49.240 entire
00:40:49.440 culture
00:40:49.740 will
00:40:49.900 just
00:40:50.080 snap
00:40:50.400 into
00:40:50.680 place
00:40:50.980 and
00:40:51.440 repeat
00:40:51.720 all
00:40:52.060 of
00:40:52.180 this
00:40:52.340 you
00:40:52.460 saw
00:40:52.620 this
00:40:52.840 for
00:40:53.120 example
00:40:53.440 in
00:40:53.620 Maisie 0.92
00:40:53.880 Hirono
00:40:54.360 suggested
00:40:54.960 that
00:40:55.140 Amy
00:40:55.360 Coney
00:40:55.640 Barrett
00:40:55.980 was
00:40:56.260 some
00:40:56.680 sort
00:40:56.980 of
00:40:57.240 horrible
00:40:57.780 homophobe
00:40:58.300 for using
00:40:58.740 the
00:40:59.200 term
00:40:59.460 sexual
00:41:00.200 predilection
00:41:01.740 or
00:41:02.020 whatever
00:41:02.460 term
00:41:02.800 she
00:41:02.960 used
00:41:03.180 the
00:41:03.600 idea
00:41:03.920 there
00:41:04.140 was
00:41:04.340 that
00:41:04.680 you're
00:41:05.260 not
00:41:05.400 allowed
00:41:05.600 sexual
00:41:05.900 preference
00:41:06.280 I think
00:41:06.480 was the
00:41:06.680 term
00:41:06.820 she
00:41:06.940 used
00:41:07.040 they
00:41:07.140 redefined
00:41:07.560 that
00:41:07.720 to
00:41:07.820 now
00:41:07.940 mean
00:41:08.120 homophobic
00:41:08.620 because
00:41:08.860 Maisie 0.92
00:41:09.140 Hirono
00:41:09.520 who's
00:41:09.700 an
00:41:09.800 idiot
00:41:10.000 suggested
00:41:10.660 it
00:41:10.780 was
00:41:10.840 homophobic
00:41:11.240 to use
00:41:11.540 a term
00:41:11.780 that had
00:41:11.960 been
00:41:12.080 used
00:41:12.360 in
00:41:12.500 common
00:41:12.720 parlance
00:41:13.120 in
00:41:13.220 the
00:41:13.280 United
00:41:13.460 States
00:41:13.700 for
00:41:13.840 several
00:41:14.040 decades
00:41:14.360 the
00:41:15.080 shift
00:41:15.660 in
00:41:15.920 time
00:41:16.320 is
00:41:16.800 pretty
00:41:17.020 astonishing
00:41:17.360 to watch
00:41:17.760 from the
00:41:17.960 left
00:41:18.060 I
00:41:33.180 of
00:41:33.360 the
00:41:33.480 elected
00:41:33.800 universe
00:41:34.320 you
00:41:34.460 remember
00:41:34.660 in
00:41:34.820 Star
00:41:35.020 Trek
00:41:35.480 that
00:41:35.680 she
00:41:35.820 is
00:41:35.960 still
00:41:36.160 getting
00:41:36.360 her
00:41:36.540 ass 0.93
00:41:36.800 kicked
00:41:37.020 by
00:41:37.260 Brian
00:41:37.720 Kemp
00:41:37.940 a
00:41:38.060 second
00:41:38.240 time
00:41:38.520 undoubtedly
00:41:39.180 she
00:41:39.480 will
00:41:39.600 accept
00:41:39.800 the
00:41:39.980 results
00:41:40.340 of
00:41:40.440 the
00:41:40.540 election
00:41:40.860 this
00:41:41.320 time
00:41:41.520 the way
00:41:41.760 she
00:41:41.840 did
00:41:41.940 not
00:41:42.080 last
00:41:42.340 time
00:41:42.580 yeah
00:41:43.160 exactly
00:41:43.660 right
00:41:43.960 well it
00:41:44.420 is
00:41:44.540 interesting
00:41:44.860 though
00:41:45.020 I
00:41:45.120 like
00:41:45.440 to
00:41:45.560 see
00:41:45.880 the
00:41:47.300 debates
00:41:47.600 about
00:41:47.800 language
00:41:48.160 thrown
00:41:49.040 back
00:41:49.400 on the
00:41:49.720 people
00:41:49.880 who are
00:41:50.080 forcing
00:41:50.340 us
00:41:50.520 to
00:41:50.620 have
00:41:50.800 them
00:41:50.960 you
00:41:51.120 know
00:41:51.180 this
00:41:51.420 was
00:41:51.560 an
00:41:51.660 embarrassment
00:41:52.020 because
00:41:53.060 you
00:41:53.240 had
00:41:53.380 all
00:41:53.600 these
00:41:53.780 doctors
00:41:54.100 coming
00:41:54.360 out
00:41:54.500 online
00:41:54.760 saying
00:41:55.020 you're
00:41:55.560 absurd
00:41:55.940 you're
00:41:56.180 an
00:41:56.260 absurd
00:41:56.580 person
00:41:56.940 you
00:41:57.120 actually
00:41:57.380 don't
00:41:57.640 understand
00:41:57.980 anything
00:41:58.340 you're
00:41:58.540 saying
00:41:58.800 about
00:41:59.080 ultrasounds
00:42:00.220 or cardiac
00:42:00.680 activity
00:42:01.140 I mean
00:42:01.640 here's
00:42:01.960 just one
00:42:02.360 that I
00:42:02.620 pulled
00:42:02.800 this is
00:42:03.200 a
00:42:03.460 pretty
00:42:03.680 Shanker
00:42:04.480 who wrote
00:42:04.820 the cardiac
00:42:05.500 muscles
00:42:05.900 in
00:42:06.300 that
00:42:07.580 I'm
00:42:08.100 trying to
00:42:08.300 read my
00:42:08.520 own
00:42:08.740 writing
00:42:09.720 that
00:42:10.420 they
00:42:10.860 begin
00:42:11.700 to
00:42:12.280 I can't
00:42:13.040 read
00:42:13.160 I said
00:42:13.380 they're
00:42:13.760 moving
00:42:13.960 inward
00:42:14.240 and they're
00:42:14.440 outward
00:42:14.640 and that's
00:42:15.020 how you
00:42:15.240 define a
00:42:15.660 beat
00:42:15.940 that's
00:42:16.320 what he
00:42:16.460 basically
00:42:16.720 you had
00:42:18.900 many doctors
00:42:19.700 saying you
00:42:19.980 don't know
00:42:20.140 what you're
00:42:20.320 talking about
00:42:20.720 and now
00:42:21.380 you have
00:42:21.940 a situation
00:42:22.440 in Virginia
00:42:22.940 that's not
00:42:23.420 totally
00:42:23.840 dissimilar
00:42:25.180 where you
00:42:25.720 had
00:42:26.180 under the
00:42:26.640 last
00:42:26.960 democratic
00:42:27.760 governor
00:42:28.260 governor
00:42:28.800 blackface 0.63
00:42:29.300 Ralph
00:42:29.620 Northram
00:42:30.300 who
00:42:31.520 came out
00:42:32.180 and said
00:42:32.800 we're
00:42:33.440 going to
00:42:33.620 let
00:42:33.900 schools
00:42:34.500 not tell
00:42:35.060 their
00:42:35.200 parents
00:42:35.540 if
00:42:36.380 kids
00:42:36.900 turn out
00:42:37.160 to be
00:42:37.340 trans
00:42:37.620 so kids
00:42:38.400 can come
00:42:38.700 in
00:42:38.960 they can
00:42:39.300 say I'm
00:42:39.500 no longer
00:42:39.760 a boy
00:42:40.080 I'm
00:42:40.260 no longer
00:42:40.540 a girl
00:42:40.820 don't
00:42:41.080 tell my
00:42:41.320 parents
00:42:41.640 I want
00:42:42.060 to go
00:42:42.200 by different
00:42:42.520 pronouns
00:42:42.840 and we
00:42:43.460 want it
00:42:43.700 written in
00:42:44.140 the teachers
00:42:45.040 can't say
00:42:45.540 anything
00:42:45.800 to the
00:42:46.020 parents
00:42:46.280 now
00:42:47.040 the new
00:42:48.220 governor
00:42:48.480 young
00:42:48.780 the
00:42:49.040 Republican
00:42:49.400 has said
00:42:49.780 I'm
00:42:49.940 going to
00:42:50.100 reverse
00:42:50.340 all that
00:42:50.680 the students
00:42:51.680 there
00:42:51.960 had this
00:42:52.380 massive
00:42:52.680 walkout
00:42:53.320 like a
00:42:53.640 thousand
00:42:53.880 students
00:42:54.260 walked out
00:42:54.860 to protest
00:42:55.620 his
00:42:55.840 bigotry
00:42:56.460 Glenn
00:42:56.880 young
00:42:57.040 can's
00:42:57.280 bigotry
00:42:57.800 and truly
00:42:58.680 all he's
00:42:59.440 saying
00:42:59.800 all they're
00:43:00.700 saying
00:43:00.980 with the
00:43:01.260 new
00:43:01.380 reversal
00:43:01.840 of the
00:43:02.240 old
00:43:02.460 laws
00:43:02.760 is
00:43:03.020 the
00:43:03.580 parents
00:43:03.800 need
00:43:03.920 to be
00:43:04.060 involved
00:43:04.300 that's
00:43:04.780 it
00:43:04.900 they're
00:43:05.020 not
00:43:05.120 saying
00:43:05.260 can't
00:43:05.500 do
00:43:05.620 it
00:43:05.920 saying
00:43:06.120 we
00:43:06.220 just
00:43:06.340 need
00:43:06.480 to
00:43:06.540 hear
00:43:06.640 from
00:43:06.800 your
00:43:06.940 parents
00:43:07.280 and
00:43:08.140 again
00:43:08.980 it's
00:43:09.460 bigot
00:43:09.760 bigot
00:43:10.020 bigot
00:43:10.380 yeah
00:43:11.620 I mean
00:43:11.840 this is
00:43:12.740 truly
00:43:13.380 an amazing
00:43:13.960 thing
00:43:14.320 what
00:43:14.540 young
00:43:14.740 can
00:43:14.860 said
00:43:15.080 is
00:43:15.360 if
00:43:16.020 you
00:43:16.100 oppose
00:43:16.440 what
00:43:16.800 I'm
00:43:16.980 attempting
00:43:17.220 to do
00:43:17.460 here
00:43:17.620 essentially
00:43:17.900 you want
00:43:18.100 to cut
00:43:18.280 parents
00:43:18.520 out of
00:43:18.720 the loop
00:43:18.860 but that
00:43:19.140 is
00:43:19.480 precisely
00:43:19.940 what
00:43:20.120 the
00:43:20.220 left
00:43:20.360 would
00:43:20.520 love
00:43:20.840 to
00:43:20.960 do
00:43:21.060 they
00:43:21.200 want
00:43:21.320 to
00:43:21.400 socially
00:43:21.700 transition
00:43:22.140 your
00:43:22.360 kid
00:43:22.600 at
00:43:22.900 school
00:43:23.140 without
00:43:23.360 informing
00:43:23.780 you
00:43:24.000 of
00:43:24.560 what
00:43:24.920 is
00:43:25.160 going
00:43:25.360 on
00:43:25.640 teachers
00:43:26.080 who
00:43:26.280 have
00:43:26.380 known
00:43:26.600 your
00:43:26.820 kid
00:43:27.040 for
00:43:27.220 approximately
00:43:27.780 37
00:43:28.300 seconds
00:43:28.780 and
00:43:29.420 they
00:43:29.540 are
00:43:29.660 going
00:43:29.840 to
00:43:30.080 now
00:43:30.420 dictate
00:43:30.760 to
00:43:30.980 you
00:43:31.180 as
00:43:31.360 a
00:43:31.460 parent
00:43:31.680 exactly
00:43:32.100 how
00:43:32.600 you
00:43:32.720 should
00:43:32.840 raise
00:43:33.160 your
00:43:33.420 child
00:43:33.700 especially
00:43:34.000 when
00:43:34.160 your
00:43:34.280 child
00:43:34.440 is
00:43:34.560 going
00:43:34.720 through
00:43:34.900 something
00:43:35.220 as
00:43:35.460 troubling
00:43:35.760 and
00:43:35.960 difficult
00:43:36.260 as
00:43:37.060 gender
00:43:37.460 confusion
00:43:38.120 now
00:43:38.640 they
00:43:38.780 are
00:43:38.880 going
00:43:39.060 to
00:43:39.200 simply
00:43:39.460 mainstream
00:43:40.060 that
00:43:40.400 gender
00:43:40.680 confusion
00:43:41.300 they're
00:43:41.560 going
00:43:41.720 to
00:43:41.880 give
00:43:42.140 people
00:43:42.500 essentially
00:43:43.140 the
00:43:43.840 dint
00:43:44.380 of
00:43:44.540 heroism
00:43:45.060 for
00:43:45.560 engaging
00:43:46.020 in
00:43:46.340 this
00:43:46.500 sort
00:43:46.660 of
00:43:46.740 behavior
00:43:47.040 and
00:43:47.320 they're
00:43:47.440 going
00:43:47.540 to
00:43:47.600 say
00:43:47.740 that
00:43:47.880 you
00:43:48.080 are
00:43:48.280 right
00:43:48.460 your
00:43:48.620 parents
00:43:48.920 are
00:43:49.080 wrong
00:43:49.360 we
00:43:49.500 can't
00:43:49.640 even
00:43:49.760 tell
00:43:49.920 your
00:43:50.040 parents
00:43:50.220 might
00:43:50.780 be
00:43:50.880 abusive
00:43:51.220 right
00:43:51.420 so
00:43:51.500 now
00:43:51.600 you've
00:43:51.740 also
00:43:51.900 planted
00:43:52.200 this
00:43:52.800 thought
00:43:53.060 in
00:43:53.240 the
00:43:53.380 head
00:43:53.860 of
00:43:53.980 kids
00:43:54.160 that
00:43:54.260 your
00:43:54.360 parents
00:43:54.620 actually
00:43:54.900 hate
00:43:55.160 you
00:43:55.360 and
00:43:55.740 are
00:43:55.840 abusive
00:43:56.240 if
00:43:56.560 they
00:43:56.680 want
00:43:57.220 you
00:43:57.360 to
00:43:57.580 engage
00:43:57.920 in
00:43:58.040 watchful
00:43:58.420 waiting
00:43:58.720 or
00:43:58.960 if
00:43:59.080 they
00:43:59.160 say
00:43:59.340 well
00:43:59.680 you
00:43:59.780 know
00:43:59.880 what
00:44:00.100 I'm
00:44:00.360 sorry
00:44:00.500 that
00:44:00.620 you're
00:44:00.720 having
00:44:00.960 this
00:44:01.120 sort
00:44:01.260 of
00:44:01.320 emotional
00:44:01.640 trouble
00:44:01.900 but
00:44:02.060 that
00:44:02.180 does
00:44:02.300 not
00:44:02.440 mean
00:44:02.620 that
00:44:02.760 you
00:44:02.880 move
00:44:03.580 on
00:44:03.800 toward
00:44:04.080 measures
00:44:04.440 that
00:44:04.580 are
00:44:04.680 likely
00:44:04.920 to
00:44:05.200 sterilize
00:44:05.740 you
00:44:05.840 and
00:44:05.940 mutilate
00:44:06.180 your
00:44:06.360 body
00:44:06.620 the
00:44:07.380 fact
00:44:07.720 that
00:44:07.820 the
00:44:07.940 left
00:44:08.040 is
00:44:08.180 pushing
00:44:08.420 this
00:44:08.580 so
00:44:08.760 hard
00:44:08.980 is
00:44:09.160 truly
00:44:09.520 an
00:44:09.780 astonishing
00:44:10.260 thing
00:44:10.820 and
00:44:10.920 there's
00:44:11.080 no
00:44:11.220 way
00:44:11.320 to
00:44:11.420 see
00:44:11.540 it
00:44:11.660 other
00:44:11.860 than
00:44:12.080 as
00:44:12.220 an
00:44:12.320 attack
00:44:12.580 on
00:44:12.740 parenthood
00:44:13.180 as
00:44:13.540 an
00:44:13.660 attack
00:44:13.880 on
00:44:15.540 traditional
00:44:16.060 roles
00:44:16.560 all around
00:44:17.760 the
00:44:17.900 world
00:44:18.080 there's
00:44:18.460 a
00:44:18.780 backlash
00:44:20.940 to
00:44:22.480 the
00:44:22.600 radical
00:44:23.080 social
00:44:23.420 policy
00:44:23.820 that
00:44:23.980 the
00:44:24.100 left
00:44:24.260 has
00:44:24.380 promulgated
00:44:24.920 here
00:44:25.140 you're
00:44:25.300 seeing
00:44:25.460 it
00:44:25.580 everywhere
00:44:25.780 from
00:44:25.980 Italy
00:44:26.340 to
00:44:26.700 Hungary
00:44:27.100 to
00:44:27.460 Poland
00:44:27.860 to
00:44:28.140 Sweden
00:44:28.460 and
00:44:29.080 in
00:44:29.620 the
00:44:29.720 United
00:44:29.900 States
00:44:30.240 there
00:44:30.580 is
00:44:30.880 no
00:44:31.160 immunity
00:44:32.020 to
00:44:32.580 the
00:44:32.720 body
00:44:33.020 politic
00:44:33.480 to
00:44:34.240 moving
00:44:34.720 to
00:44:34.900 the
00:44:35.000 right
00:44:35.140 on
00:44:35.280 this
00:44:35.420 sort
00:44:35.600 of
00:44:35.680 stuff
00:44:35.880 there's
00:44:36.100 a
00:44:36.180 reason
00:44:36.340 Glenn
00:44:36.620 Youngkin
00:44:36.880 is
00:44:37.040 now
00:44:37.160 the
00:44:37.280 governor
00:44:37.460 of
00:44:37.600 Virginia
00:44:37.900 so
00:44:38.400 people
00:44:38.840 in
00:44:39.140 the
00:44:39.300 gleaming
00:44:40.440 ivory
00:44:40.900 halls
00:44:41.300 of
00:44:41.460 academia
00:44:41.860 or
00:44:42.320 people
00:44:42.540 in
00:44:42.680 the
00:44:42.760 White
00:44:42.920 House
00:44:43.100 may
00:44:43.280 think
00:44:43.460 this
00:44:43.720 amounts
00:44:44.100 to
00:44:44.260 good
00:44:44.460 policy
00:44:44.900 but
00:44:45.420 there
00:44:45.680 are
00:44:45.760 few
00:44:46.160 people
00:44:46.420 in
00:44:46.540 the
00:44:46.600 United
00:44:46.780 States
00:44:47.000 who
00:44:47.120 agree
00:44:47.620 that
00:44:56.700 quietly
00:44:57.040 changes
00:44:57.400 the
00:44:57.560 policies
00:44:57.900 to
00:44:58.140 say
00:44:58.380 you
00:44:58.940 don't
00:44:59.060 have
00:44:59.180 to
00:44:59.280 tell
00:44:59.500 the
00:44:59.760 parents
00:44:59.960 don't
00:45:00.160 involve
00:45:00.380 the
00:45:00.500 parents
00:45:00.720 if
00:45:00.840 the
00:45:00.960 students
00:45:01.160 don't
00:45:01.380 want
00:45:01.520 the
00:45:01.640 parents
00:45:01.840 involved
00:45:02.200 people
00:45:02.780 that
00:45:03.000 doesn't
00:45:03.260 make
00:45:03.460 headlines
00:45:03.840 because
00:45:04.080 the
00:45:04.280 left
00:45:04.460 likes
00:45:04.760 it
00:45:04.900 they
00:45:05.100 just
00:45:05.260 keep
00:45:05.420 it
00:45:05.520 quiet
00:45:05.760 it
00:45:05.960 happens
00:45:06.320 you
00:45:06.740 have
00:45:06.960 to
00:45:07.100 find
00:45:07.380 out
00:45:07.520 the
00:45:07.680 hard
00:45:08.000 way
00:45:08.160 as
00:45:08.300 a
00:45:08.400 parent
00:45:08.640 that
00:45:08.820 this
00:45:09.000 has
00:45:09.160 gone
00:45:09.700 on
00:45:10.040 I
00:45:10.480 know
00:45:10.920 this
00:45:11.240 because
00:45:11.480 there's
00:45:11.680 a
00:45:11.800 family
00:45:12.080 in
00:45:12.320 New
00:45:12.480 York
00:45:12.780 that
00:45:13.400 was
00:45:13.540 at
00:45:13.700 Trinity
00:45:14.120 school
00:45:14.520 which
00:45:14.760 has
00:45:14.880 been
00:45:14.980 all
00:45:15.120 over
00:45:15.240 the
00:45:15.340 news
00:45:15.500 lately
00:45:15.740 because
00:45:16.000 there
00:45:16.180 was
00:45:16.280 that
00:45:16.420 woman 0.99
00:45:16.680 caught
00:45:16.940 on
00:45:17.100 tape

00:45:18.160 O'Keefe's
00:45:18.640 operatives
00:45:19.300 saying
00:45:19.840 she wanted

00:45:20.360 a serial
00:45:20.820 killer

00:45:22.860 the
00:45:23.240 white
00:45:23.500 boys
00:45:23.980 didn't
00:45:24.480 much
00:45:24.660 care
00:45:24.840 if
00:45:24.940 they
00:45:25.000 were
00:45:25.100 conservative
00:45:25.480 or
00:45:25.700 liberal
00:45:25.920 just
00:45:26.120 white
00:45:26.400 boys
00:45:26.680 she

00:45:27.380 see
00:45:27.480 them
00:45:27.640 killed

00:46:07.700 students
00:46:08.840 or
00:46:09.220 schools
00:46:09.600 may

00:46:11.800 information

00:46:13.400 student's
00:46:13.880 gender
00:46:14.200 from
00:46:14.960 their
00:46:15.180 parents
00:46:15.660 there
00:46:16.060 should
00:46:16.220 not
00:46:16.420 be
00:46:16.620 secrets
00:46:17.220 between
00:46:17.900 a
00:46:18.420 minor
00:46:18.940 and
00:46:19.700 a
00:46:19.920 teacher
00:46:20.320 who
00:46:20.820 has
00:46:21.000 no
00:46:21.180 biological
00:46:21.600 connection
00:46:22.080 to
00:46:22.520 said
00:46:22.780 minor
00:46:23.080 it's
00:46:24.780 utter
00:46:24.980 insanity
00:46:25.380 and
00:46:25.620 again
00:46:25.960 it's
00:46:26.160 just
00:46:26.280 another
00:46:26.740 example
00:46:27.340 of
00:46:27.720 the
00:46:27.980 left's
00:46:28.260 routine
00:46:28.560 it's
00:46:28.840 not
00:46:29.000 happening
00:46:29.340 and
00:46:29.460 it's
00:46:29.580 good
00:46:29.700 that
00:46:29.820 it
00:46:29.920 is
00:46:30.080 so
00:46:30.640 you
00:46:30.960 point
00:46:31.320 out
00:46:31.540 that
00:46:31.680 this
00:46:31.820 is
00:46:31.940 a
00:46:32.200 trend
00:46:32.460 and
00:46:32.580 this
00:46:32.700 has
00:46:32.800 been
00:46:32.900 happening
00:46:33.280 in
00:46:33.680 schools
00:46:34.060 all
00:46:34.240 over
00:46:34.400 the
00:46:34.540 nation
00:46:34.820 are you
00:46:36.960 suggesting
00:46:37.700 that we
00:46:38.240 would
00:46:38.360 socially
00:46:38.620 transition
00:46:39.040 a
00:46:39.200 child
00:46:39.420 to
00:46:39.560 school
00:46:39.800 and
00:46:39.980 not
00:46:40.140 tell
00:46:40.300 the
00:46:40.400 parents
00:46:40.580 like
00:46:40.740 yeah

00:46:41.120 exactly
00:46:41.400 what
00:46:41.520 we're
00:46:41.580 suggesting
00:46:41.840 you're
00:46:42.160 right
00:46:42.340 it
00:46:42.660 is
00:46:42.800 happening
00:46:43.100 and
00:46:43.240 it's
00:46:43.340 very
00:46:43.500 good
00:46:43.680 that
00:46:43.800 it
00:46:43.920 is
00:46:44.060 and
00:46:44.140 you
00:46:44.220 can't
00:46:44.460 stop
00:46:44.660 us
00:46:44.800 from
00:46:44.920 doing
00:46:45.140 this
00:46:45.320 sort
00:46:45.500 of
00:46:45.580 stuff
00:46:45.820 this
00:46:46.540 is
00:46:47.200 a
00:46:47.480 form
00:46:47.760 of
00:46:47.940 child
00:46:48.180 abuse
00:46:48.460 it's
00:46:48.920 a
00:46:49.020 form
00:46:49.160 of
00:46:49.300 kidnapping
00:46:49.660 and
00:46:50.280 if
00:46:50.660 somebody
00:46:51.020 were
00:46:51.380 to
00:46:51.720 approach
00:46:52.640 my
00:46:53.200 child
00:46:53.660 who
00:46:54.000 was
00:46:54.100 confused
00:46:54.480 and
00:46:55.020 then
00:46:55.180 to
00:46:55.380 reinstill
00:46:56.280 that
00:46:56.720 confusion
00:46:57.160 and
00:46:57.520 place
00:46:57.900 my
00:46:58.100 child
00:46:58.340 in
00:46:58.460 direct
00:46:58.700 opposition
00:46:59.120 to
00:46:59.500 me
00:46:59.740 that
00:47:00.260 is
00:47:00.480 an
00:47:00.660 act
00:47:01.020 of
00:47:01.260 abuse
00:47:01.720 it
00:47:02.140 is
00:47:02.280 it
00:47:02.440 is
00:47:02.560 the
00:47:02.680 most
00:47:02.880 egregious
00:47:03.500 thing
00:47:03.720 you
00:47:03.900 can
00:47:04.060 do
00:47:04.240 to
00:47:04.420 a
00:47:04.540 child
00:47:04.820 it's
00:47:05.020 the
00:47:05.100 most
00:47:05.220 egregious
00:47:05.540 thing
00:47:05.680 you
00:47:05.760 can
00:47:05.860 do
00:47:05.940 to
00:47:06.020 a
00:47:06.100 parent
00:47:06.280 and
00:47:06.600 the
00:47:06.700 fact
00:47:06.880 that
00:47:07.000 you
00:47:07.100 have
00:47:07.260 people
00:47:07.520 on
00:47:07.700 the
00:47:07.800 left
00:47:07.940 who
00:47:08.100 want
00:47:08.320 the
00:47:08.480 state
00:47:08.700 not
00:47:08.880 only
00:47:09.040 to
00:47:09.200 sponsor
00:47:09.520 it
00:47:09.740 but
00:47:10.000 to
00:47:10.280 essentially
00:47:10.620 mandate
00:47:11.140 it
00:47:11.400 in
00:47:11.560 many
00:47:11.740 cases
00:47:12.060 is
00:47:12.660 an
00:47:12.960 act
00:47:13.220 true
00:47:13.700 societal
00:47:14.100 sickness
00:47:14.500 it
00:47:14.700 really
00:47:14.900 is
00:47:15.100 perverse
00:47:15.820 the
00:47:16.220 fact
00:47:29.120 it's
00:47:29.520 truly
00:47:29.720 contrary
00:47:30.160 to
00:47:30.300 what
00:47:30.400 we
00:47:30.500 teach
00:47:30.660 our
00:47:30.800 children
00:47:31.040 which
00:47:31.260 is
00:47:31.400 there's
00:47:31.580 no
00:47:31.780 secrets
00:47:32.100 between
00:47:32.380 you
00:47:32.560 and
00:47:32.640 a
00:47:32.720 grown
00:47:32.880 up
00:47:33.360 if
00:47:33.620 any
00:47:33.940 adult
00:47:34.440 tells
00:47:34.760 you
00:47:34.940 he
00:47:35.120 wants
00:47:35.300 to
00:47:35.380 have
00:47:35.460 a
00:47:35.560 secret
00:47:35.800 with
00:47:36.020 you
00:47:36.200 the
00:47:36.620 first
00:47:36.860 thing
00:47:36.980 you
00:47:37.060 need
00:47:37.160 to
00:47:37.260 do
00:47:37.400 tell
00:47:37.640 mom
00:47:37.840 and
00:47:37.960 dad
00:47:38.140 that's
00:47:38.720 how
00:47:38.840 groomers
00:47:39.320 operate
00:47:39.780 real
00:47:40.080 groomers
00:47:40.540 who
00:47:40.640 are
00:47:40.740 looking
00:47:40.940 to
00:47:41.060 molest
00:47:41.340 your
00:47:41.500 children
00:47:41.780 do
00:47:42.020 exactly
00:47:42.420 that
00:47:42.720 it's
00:47:43.200 a
00:47:43.300 secret
00:47:43.520 don't
00:47:43.740 tell
00:47:43.860 mom
00:47:44.040 and dad
00:47:44.360 they
00:47:44.500 wouldn't
00:47:44.680 understand
00:47:45.280 how good
00:47:46.300 this
00:47:46.460 is
00:47:46.580 going
00:47:46.700 to
00:47:46.780 feel
00:47:47.040 or
00:47:47.260 how
00:47:47.480 evolved

00:47:52.740 that
00:47:52.920 far
00:47:53.160 away
00:47:53.620 so
00:47:54.200 you
00:47:54.740 can't
00:47:54.940 have
00:47:55.040 teachers
00:47:55.300 telling
00:47:55.540 students
00:47:55.920 that
00:47:56.060 they
00:47:56.160 can
00:47:56.260 have

00:49:34.620 been
00:49:34.960 one of
00:49:36.000 the few
00:49:36.220 people
00:49:36.500 speaking
00:49:37.000 to
00:49:37.420 young

00:49:44.100 not afraid
00:49:44.460 to identify
00:49:45.100 it and he's
00:49:45.760 become like
00:49:46.500 really important
00:49:47.600 to huge
00:49:48.900 numbers of
00:49:49.360 people not
00:49:49.720 just in
00:49:50.060 canada where
00:49:50.420 he's from

00:49:52.780 partnership
00:49:53.040 with him

00:49:54.120 think is
00:49:54.360 great
00:49:54.660 it's good
00:49:55.060 for both
00:49:55.420 parties

00:50:21.600 man bashing
00:50:22.280 film from
00:50:22.900 what i've
00:50:23.260 been told
00:50:23.580 i haven't
00:50:23.960 seen it
00:50:24.320 so i'm
00:50:24.620 just reading
00:50:24.980 the write
00:50:25.280 ups
00:50:25.420 it's got
00:50:25.700 some sort
00:50:26.000 of a
00:50:26.160 me too
00:50:26.420 theme
00:50:26.880 and it's
00:50:27.840 not
00:50:28.180 doesn't look
00:50:28.920 favorably
00:50:29.300 on men
00:50:29.820 and the
00:50:30.860 villain in
00:50:31.300 the movie
00:50:31.680 played by
00:50:32.120 chris pine
00:50:32.680 she says
00:50:33.920 olivia wild
00:50:34.460 says is
00:50:34.960 based on
00:50:36.120 jordan
00:50:36.580 he stars
00:50:37.800 as frank
00:50:38.280 the founder
00:50:38.940 of a utopian
00:50:39.760 1950s community
00:50:40.900 in the desert
00:50:41.520 known as the
00:50:42.280 victory project
00:50:43.160 turns out this
00:50:44.460 project has
00:50:45.000 dark secrets
00:50:46.020 i don't i can't
00:50:46.980 give you spoilers
00:50:47.520 because i haven't
00:50:48.080 even seen it
00:50:48.700 but she told
00:50:50.740 maggie gyllenhaal
00:50:51.820 olivia wild
00:50:52.400 did that this
00:50:53.000 was based on
00:50:53.540 jordan peterson
00:50:54.240 this quote
00:50:55.800 pseudo
00:50:56.580 intellectual
00:50:57.460 hero
00:50:58.420 to the
00:50:59.500 incel
00:51:00.140 community
00:51:00.760 i mean
00:51:01.300 the nerve
00:51:01.880 of olivia wild
00:51:02.600 to refer
00:51:03.060 to jordan peterson
00:51:03.940 as a pseudo
00:51:04.460 intellectual
00:51:04.920 as though
00:51:05.600 she knows
00:51:06.160 anything
00:51:07.060 i mean
00:51:07.860 literally
00:51:08.180 anything
00:51:08.640 okay but
00:51:09.040 just pause
00:51:09.520 there
00:51:09.760 wild then
00:51:10.980 explained
00:51:11.360 incels
00:51:12.020 i-n-c-e-l 1.00
00:51:13.020 are basically
00:51:14.160 disenfranchised
00:51:15.100 mostly white
00:51:15.840 men
00:51:16.280 who believe
00:51:17.140 they are
00:51:17.540 entitled
00:51:18.340 to sex
00:51:19.560 from women
00:51:20.240 and they
00:51:21.220 believe that
00:51:21.620 society has
00:51:22.200 now robbed
00:51:22.840 them
00:51:23.180 that the
00:51:23.840 idea of
00:51:24.300 feminism
00:51:24.680 is working
00:51:25.380 against
00:51:25.820 nature
00:51:26.260 and that
00:51:26.980 we
00:51:27.300 meaning women
00:51:27.920 must be put
00:51:28.620 back into
00:51:29.220 the correct
00:51:29.860 place
00:51:30.940 then she
00:51:32.020 says this
00:51:32.400 guy jordan
00:51:32.840 peterson is
00:51:33.340 someone that
00:51:33.740 legitimizes
00:51:34.560 certain aspects
00:51:35.480 of their
00:51:35.800 movement because
00:51:36.360 he's a former
00:51:37.020 professor he's
00:51:38.080 an author he
00:51:39.100 wears a suit
00:51:39.840 so they feel
00:51:40.820 like this is a
00:51:41.540 real philosophy
00:51:42.300 that should be
00:51:43.400 taken seriously
00:51:44.200 and once again i
00:51:45.500 mean as somebody
00:51:45.880 who's listened to
00:51:46.320 a lot of what
00:51:46.740 jordan said i
00:51:47.280 listen can i
00:51:48.020 just tell you as
00:51:48.420 an aside when i
00:51:49.020 was at nbc when
00:51:49.760 12 rules for life
00:51:50.940 came out and i
00:51:51.960 had so many people
00:51:52.520 bring it to me be
00:51:53.100 like let's get
00:51:53.680 him and i was
00:51:55.160 like okay what's
00:51:55.920 this about
00:51:56.300 some crazy
00:51:57.520 lunatic saying
00:51:58.180 terrible things
00:51:58.720 and then i
00:51:59.300 actually read it
00:51:59.860 and i was like
00:52:00.260 this is brilliant
00:52:01.060 i there's like
00:52:02.160 almost nothing in
00:52:02.760 here that i
00:52:03.060 disagree with
00:52:03.640 i don't want to
00:52:04.520 fight with him
00:52:04.960 i want to learn
00:52:05.420 more from him
00:52:05.880 and then i
00:52:06.240 subscribed to
00:52:07.480 his website
00:52:08.120 started listening
00:52:08.640 to his lectures
00:52:09.200 i'm like this
00:52:09.600 there's so much
00:52:10.080 good stuff in
00:52:10.660 here so this
00:52:11.540 woman clearly 0.99
00:52:12.040 has not listened
00:52:12.500 to anything
00:52:12.960 about jordan
00:52:13.620 peterson only
00:52:14.700 the negative
00:52:15.080 things but
00:52:16.200 it bothered
00:52:17.280 him it
00:52:18.500 bothered him
00:52:19.440 so he goes on
00:52:20.000 with pierce
00:52:20.400 morgan
00:52:20.840 pierce asks him
00:52:22.400 about it last
00:52:23.080 night what do you
00:52:23.920 make of it so
00:52:24.360 far i mean
00:52:25.460 look the basic
00:52:26.580 idea here from
00:52:27.760 olivia wilde and
00:52:28.580 so many other
00:52:29.020 people is that
00:52:29.460 anyone who speaks
00:52:30.320 to young males
00:52:31.740 is by necessity
00:52:33.000 bad because young
00:52:33.820 males are bad 1.00
00:52:34.440 the idea is if
00:52:35.540 you have a bunch
00:52:36.080 of men who
00:52:36.660 have been sort
00:52:37.480 of left behind
00:52:38.460 by the the
00:52:39.260 modern the
00:52:40.220 postmodern
00:52:40.860 bargain the
00:52:41.360 postmodern
00:52:41.740 moral bargain
00:52:42.300 which says that
00:52:43.140 men have no 0.95
00:52:44.060 role as fathers
00:52:44.920 because after all
00:52:45.820 a woman needs a 1.00
00:52:46.680 man like a fish
00:52:47.260 needs a bicycle
00:52:47.760 men don't have a 1.00
00:52:48.600 role as protectors
00:52:49.520 because after all
00:52:50.380 men are mostly
00:52:51.080 toxic they're not
00:52:51.840 there to protect
00:52:52.280 women and women
00:52:52.680 don't need
00:52:53.000 protection at all
00:52:54.160 men are not 0.65
00:52:55.180 supposed to be
00:52:55.720 responsible and
00:52:56.400 this by the way
00:52:56.800 is what gives
00:52:57.140 men purpose if
00:52:57.760 you deprive men 0.91
00:52:58.400 of their entire
00:52:59.080 purpose and then
00:53:00.240 those men feel
00:53:01.080 left out and left
00:53:01.880 behind and they
00:53:02.580 get angry then
00:53:03.720 the idea is if
00:53:04.360 you try to speak
00:53:04.900 to those men and
00:53:05.900 you say no you
00:53:06.400 do have a purpose
00:53:07.120 actually you have
00:53:07.800 dragons inside you
00:53:08.900 that require slaying
00:53:10.520 right and and that
00:53:11.560 requires you to
00:53:12.220 actually man up and
00:53:13.220 and do your duty
00:53:14.180 and and undergo
00:53:15.320 struggle which is
00:53:16.100 jordan's main
00:53:16.780 message i mean this
00:53:17.420 is what he says
00:53:18.220 over and over and
00:53:19.280 over is that men
00:53:20.300 do have toxic
00:53:20.940 masculinity inside
00:53:21.840 them and you have
00:53:22.260 to battle that with
00:53:23.540 being a gentleman
00:53:24.320 you have to battle
00:53:24.860 that with with
00:53:25.440 more powerful
00:53:26.000 masculinity and
00:53:27.340 that message to
00:53:28.780 the feminist left
00:53:29.440 is anathema you're
00:53:30.300 supposed to ignore
00:53:31.200 young men and i've
00:53:32.320 talked to jordan about
00:53:32.980 this extensively
00:53:33.760 obviously jordan and
00:53:34.540 i are very friendly
00:53:35.060 and and when jordan
00:53:36.680 and i talk about
00:53:37.180 this the thing that
00:53:37.740 he can't get over
00:53:38.500 is this idea from
00:53:39.860 the left that he
00:53:40.460 is doing something
00:53:41.040 deeply bad and
00:53:41.920 deeply wrong by
00:53:43.140 reaching out to
00:53:44.160 men who feel
00:53:45.180 disenfranchised like
00:53:46.140 what are we supposed
00:53:46.800 to do just cheer the
00:53:48.260 fact that they are
00:53:48.880 disenfranchised sure the
00:53:50.040 fact that they feel
00:53:51.280 adrift and and
00:53:52.400 lost in the entire
00:53:53.600 liberal project was
00:53:54.520 supposed to be about
00:53:55.180 quote-unquote
00:53:55.540 marginalized communities
00:53:56.500 so now there's been
00:53:57.140 an attempt to
00:53:57.920 quote-unquote
00:53:58.200 marginalize a bunch
00:53:59.740 of young particularly
00:54:01.380 white men because 0.76
00:54:02.120 they're not members
00:54:02.620 of a victim group and
00:54:03.740 then if they have
00:54:04.380 complaints about the
00:54:05.260 way that their lives
00:54:05.820 are going to
00:54:06.640 basically say well you
00:54:07.720 deserve it jordan is
00:54:08.780 not justifying the
00:54:09.480 complaints he's not
00:54:10.140 saying well you know
00:54:11.040 you guys have a point
00:54:11.820 what jordan is saying
00:54:12.540 is buck up right
00:54:13.920 pick yourself up go do
00:54:15.260 something useful he's
00:54:16.800 not saying that that you
00:54:17.940 know the quote-unquote
00:54:18.660 incel community that
00:54:20.040 these people are
00:54:20.620 justified in their
00:54:21.440 belief system and
00:54:22.180 they're justified in
00:54:22.760 the rage he's saying
00:54:23.260 you need to become a
00:54:24.700 better person a stronger
00:54:25.580 version of yourself to
00:54:26.480 go out and face the
00:54:27.060 vicissitudes of life and
00:54:28.180 this is what draws the
00:54:29.020 ire this is what makes
00:54:29.920 people so crazy it is a
00:54:32.520 really shocking example
00:54:34.280 of how the left purports
00:54:35.740 to be incredibly
00:54:36.400 sympathetic to people
00:54:37.160 but in reality if you
00:54:38.380 don't fall into a
00:54:39.000 category that they wish
00:54:39.760 to cultivate as sort of
00:54:40.580 a political subgroup
00:54:41.460 they hate your gods and
00:54:42.840 they actually wish to
00:54:43.680 see you suffer in an
00:54:44.940 enormous number of
00:54:45.680 ways I mean there is
00:54:46.280 an article by the way
00:54:46.920 in Canada from the
00:54:47.760 CBC in which they're
00:54:49.400 going after me in sort
00:54:50.520 of a similar fashion
00:54:51.240 only to the extent that
00:54:52.160 they actually said in
00:54:52.820 there that it was
00:54:53.820 rhetoric like mine is
00:54:55.160 sort of pro-toxic
00:54:56.440 masculinity anti-woman 1.00
00:54:57.780 rhetoric you know the
00:54:58.920 viewing women as
00:54:59.760 objects and I and I
00:55:00.800 thought to myself like
00:55:01.340 literally anybody who is
00:55:02.260 just right of center is
00:55:03.780 is considered that even
00:55:05.060 an orthodox Jew I mean
00:55:06.220 if you're going to accuse
00:55:06.860 people of objectification
00:55:07.760 of women I have a 0.96
00:55:08.460 feeling you're going to
00:55:08.860 come up short on that
00:55:09.560 one but for Jordan is
00:55:10.460 like the apotheosis of
00:55:11.440 this he is their number
00:55:12.140 one you know white whale on
00:55:13.580 this stuff yeah oh my
00:55:14.760 god it's it's true if
00:55:15.580 you spend and I I used to
00:55:16.760 live in a building that
00:55:17.440 it was all orthodox
00:55:18.500 Jewish families and we
00:55:19.740 used to go to Shabbat
00:55:20.660 dinner all the time and
00:55:21.760 I I love the ceremony
00:55:23.160 it's like the way Jewish 1.00
00:55:24.140 men would treat their 0.98
00:55:25.180 wives and like revere 0.98
00:55:26.000 their wives at these 0.86
00:55:26.680 I'm like we gotta adopt
00:55:27.440 some of this stuff in
00:55:28.080 Catholicism we need more
00:55:29.480 of this but it's absurd
00:55:30.940 I listen to you all the
00:55:31.600 time I never never heard
00:55:32.560 anything even even close
00:55:33.840 to the line on sexist
00:55:34.800 you by the way wound up
00:55:36.440 quitting Breitbart after
00:55:37.700 Michelle Fields was
00:55:38.820 treated so badly for them
00:55:39.780 you've stood up for women
00:55:40.620 repeatedly in your it's
00:55:41.460 absurd okay we have the 0.71
00:55:42.820 Jordan clip on peers at
00:55:44.300 least the audio of it
00:55:45.080 let's listen
00:55:45.500 are you the intellectual
00:55:48.340 hero to these people
00:55:49.500 sure why not you know
00:55:53.580 people have been after me
00:55:56.300 for a long time by because
00:55:58.320 I've been speaking to
00:55:59.500 disaffected young men you
00:56:01.280 know what a terrible thing
00:56:02.280 to do that is
00:56:03.220 I thought the marginalized
00:56:12.040 were supposed to have a
00:56:13.080 voice
00:56:13.440 it's making you
00:56:16.180 emotional talk about
00:56:17.080 well God you know
00:56:18.200 it's very difficult to
00:56:22.140 understand how demoralized
00:56:24.720 people are and certainly
00:56:26.680 many young men are in that
00:56:28.200 category and you get these
00:56:30.340 casual insults these these
00:56:33.820 incels is what do they
00:56:35.000 mean it's like well these
00:56:35.980 men they're they don't 0.99
00:56:37.560 know how to make
00:56:38.260 themselves attractive to
00:56:39.520 women who are very picky 1.00
00:56:40.720 and good for them women
00:56:41.820 like be picky that's that's
00:56:44.000 your gift man demand high
00:56:47.420 standards from your men fair
00:56:49.080 enough but all these men who
00:56:50.980 are alienated it's like they're
00:56:53.320 lonesome and and and they
00:56:55.540 don't know what to do and
00:56:56.380 everyone piles abuse on
00:56:58.180 them yes and honestly
00:57:01.780 Ben I was looking at the
00:57:02.520 numbers in 2019 men
00:57:06.160 accounted for 80 percent
00:57:07.860 of all suicide deaths in
00:57:09.920 America 80 percent and
00:57:12.220 they all the studies also
00:57:13.180 show that a majority of
00:57:16.480 American men who die by
00:57:17.600 suicide have no known
00:57:19.880 history of mental health
00:57:20.940 problems because they don't
00:57:22.640 talk about them they don't
00:57:24.400 it's not that they don't
00:57:25.180 have any mental health
00:57:26.020 problems they don't talk
00:57:27.340 about them and when they
00:57:28.740 do try to talk about them
00:57:30.300 and like Jordan Peterson
00:57:32.360 listen to Jordan Peterson
00:57:33.680 subscribe to Jordan
00:57:34.600 Peterson or anybody else
00:57:36.080 speaking out about these
00:57:36.880 issues they get attacked
00:57:39.220 they get featured in an
00:57:41.120 Olivia Wilde movie as some
00:57:43.200 sort of demon so screw her 1.00
00:57:45.820 as somebody who is at the
00:57:47.520 inception of the me too
00:57:49.040 movement I think I can say
00:57:50.480 what those of us who are
00:57:52.060 there at the beginning and
00:57:53.080 by the way Olivia Wilde you
00:57:54.560 were not one of them okay you
00:57:56.300 were not there it was about
00:57:58.720 just stopping men from 0.91
00:58:00.460 making sexual favors at the
00:58:02.960 office a condition of
00:58:04.920 advancement everyone agrees
00:58:06.600 with that men agree with
00:58:08.060 that women agree with that
00:58:09.360 it was never meant to
00:58:10.760 bastardize men writ large 0.99
00:58:12.860 that's what people like her 1.00
00:58:14.380 are doing and it's having a
00:58:16.740 serious negative effect I
00:58:18.740 mean the the irony with
00:58:21.020 regard to Olivia Wilde of
00:58:22.260 course is that the only
00:58:22.880 person who created an
00:58:24.260 unsafe apparently work
00:58:25.540 environment for her
00:58:26.320 employees was Olivia Wilde
00:58:27.820 the reports are that
00:58:29.160 Florence Pugh is one of the 0.91
00:58:30.080 actresses on the on the set
00:58:31.380 was very upset with the
00:58:32.300 fact that Olivia Wilde who
00:58:33.320 was in a long-term
00:58:34.160 relationship with Jason
00:58:34.960 Sudeikis had taken up with 0.98
00:58:36.080 one of the stars of the
00:58:36.740 film Harry Styles in the
00:58:37.760 middle of filming and
00:58:38.800 Florence Pugh was really 0.99
00:58:39.560 really uncomfortable about
00:58:40.480 it on set that didn't
00:58:41.080 bother Olivia Wilde one 0.99
00:58:42.460 iota but she's very upset 0.93
00:58:43.560 with Jordan Peterson again
00:58:45.080 the the idea here is that
00:58:46.420 men are the font head of
00:58:47.840 evil men have no role to
00:58:48.960 play in society we deprive
00:58:50.420 men of purpose we deprive
00:58:51.440 them of meaning and then
00:58:52.420 we're surprised when
00:58:53.160 they're disaffected when
00:58:53.980 they act badly again
00:58:55.320 there's no excuse for men 1.00
00:58:56.240 acting badly but you have
00:58:57.420 to give them paths toward
00:58:58.580 success Nick Eberstadt is a
00:59:00.540 really really good data
00:59:01.400 scientist over at American
00:59:03.000 Enterprise Institute he has a
00:59:04.080 brand new book out talking
00:59:05.020 about the the single most
00:59:07.140 devastating thing that's
00:59:08.320 happening to the American
00:59:08.940 economy in the workforce is
00:59:10.240 huge numbers of relatively
00:59:11.820 young relatively healthy men
00:59:13.060 who are just dropping out of
00:59:13.860 the workforce and there's a
00:59:15.060 vast gap that's appearing
00:59:16.080 right now huge numbers of men
00:59:17.700 who have basically not just
00:59:18.860 quiet quit but actually quit who
00:59:20.200 are who have gone on
00:59:20.880 disability who are who are
00:59:22.400 you know having a
00:59:23.040 significant impact on the
00:59:23.880 economy and that is because
00:59:25.400 a lot of men are feeling
00:59:26.420 left behind and and guess
00:59:28.160 what none of it is making
00:59:29.360 society any happier men are
00:59:30.640 not happier women are not
00:59:31.660 happier I'm failing to see
00:59:33.260 what exactly is the social
00:59:34.600 bargain that has made broad
00:59:36.060 swaths of people so much
00:59:37.200 happier when traditional
00:59:38.320 masculinity was done away
00:59:39.600 with and I understand that
00:59:40.680 the left vision of
00:59:41.400 traditional masculinity is
00:59:42.540 men beating their children
00:59:43.440 with belts and men smoking
00:59:44.900 at the office while having
00:59:45.640 an affair with the secretary
00:59:46.520 and then leaving the little
00:59:47.640 wifey at home but that is 1.00
00:59:48.740 not what traditional
00:59:49.340 masculinity is about and
00:59:50.840 I speak as a deeply
00:59:51.840 religious person the goal
00:59:53.160 of traditional masculinity
00:59:54.200 is to take toxic masculinity 0.99
00:59:55.580 and that aggression and
00:59:56.760 chat and channel that in
00:59:58.200 positive directions I mean
00:59:59.540 the message that Jordan
01:00:00.340 promotes which is the same
01:00:01.220 message that you promote is
01:00:02.200 the same message that I
01:00:03.060 promote for young men is
01:00:04.260 take on responsibility take
01:00:05.860 on the burden of
01:00:06.440 responsibility will make you
01:00:07.400 stronger it will make you
01:00:08.220 better and even in that
01:00:09.260 clip right Jordan is being
01:00:10.300 ripped by Olivia Wilde is
01:00:11.260 somehow anti-feminist
01:00:12.080 saying women should have high 1.00
01:00:13.140 standards for men and now
01:00:14.180 we have to give men a path
01:00:15.220 to meet those high standards
01:00:16.200 as opposed to ripping them
01:00:17.160 for being men or suggesting
01:00:18.480 that the best way for them to
01:00:19.780 overcome their toxic masculinity
01:00:21.220 is to somehow feminize 0.95
01:00:22.680 themselves get in touch with
01:00:23.440 the feminine aspect of 0.89
01:00:24.820 themselves be not who you
01:00:26.600 God made you to be instead 1.00
01:00:28.180 become what the left would
01:00:29.940 want you to be which is some
01:00:30.700 sort of androgynized version
01:00:32.160 of a man that is not I dare
01:00:35.040 say and just based on
01:00:36.180 personal experience with my
01:00:37.280 wife and my three children I
01:00:38.640 dare say that I do not think
01:00:39.800 that there are very many women
01:00:40.760 who are out there who are
01:00:41.880 desperately looking for an
01:00:43.020 androgynous man who is now
01:00:44.860 who is jettisoned all of his
01:00:45.900 masculinity I just don't
01:00:46.820 think that's a particular
01:00:47.660 road to success not at all
01:00:49.440 well it it does dovetail into
01:00:51.660 your own experience recently
01:00:52.860 because you were making this
01:00:53.640 point quite sanely uh cogently
01:00:55.920 on the military and and
01:00:57.960 masculinity and the reaction
01:01:00.100 of course because you're you
01:01:01.180 was over the top and saying
01:01:02.860 you didn't get it and it was
01:01:03.800 this it was a similar situation
01:01:05.480 as what we've just been
01:01:06.660 discussing we've got the clip
01:01:08.340 um that I don't even want to
01:01:10.040 say got you in trouble because
01:01:10.900 you're in trouble all the time
01:01:11.780 it's not even trouble anymore
01:01:13.120 uh but got some backlash
01:01:14.760 here it is
01:01:15.280 the people who tend to fight
01:01:17.440 wars are typically very
01:01:19.260 patriotic very male people 0.90
01:01:21.600 I mean I'm sorry to break it
01:01:23.600 to you but this has been the
01:01:24.160 truth about military warfare
01:01:25.140 for literally all of human
01:01:26.160 history
01:01:26.480 and the institution of
01:01:29.280 traditional masculinity has
01:01:30.480 been core to that idea but
01:01:32.320 we're a society that doesn't
01:01:33.160 believe in traditional
01:01:33.800 masculinity traditional
01:01:34.860 masculinity is an opponent 0.85
01:01:35.940 because traditional
01:01:36.700 masculinity requires roles 0.79
01:01:38.340 it says that men are 0.82
01:01:39.900 supposed to protect and are
01:01:41.020 supposed to defend and are
01:01:42.240 supposed to be strong
01:01:43.040 men are supposed to be
01:01:43.840 fathers and husbands
01:01:44.680 these are apparently very
01:01:46.260 bad things now you're not
01:01:47.860 supposed to say these things
01:01:48.800 okay so Pete you've got
01:01:51.340 people like the intercept
01:01:52.460 somebody and Tom Nichols
01:01:53.720 just the worst he writes for
01:01:55.000 the Atlantic um suggesting
01:01:56.800 oh well the super masculine
01:01:58.500 unwoke Russian military is
01:02:00.460 getting its ass kicked so Ben
01:02:02.660 doesn't know what he's
01:02:03.380 talking about
01:02:03.980 you're right it's an army of
01:02:05.820 women in Ukraine that's 1.00
01:02:06.700 defeating the Russian 0.97
01:02:07.280 military they're all women 0.95
01:02:08.220 who knew it's like the
01:02:09.260 woman king in in Ukraine
01:02:10.460 there are there are no
01:02:11.080 masculine men in the
01:02:12.280 Ukrainian military
01:02:12.880 in fact Ukraine is famous
01:02:13.920 for its extraordinarily
01:02:15.220 progressive gender
01:02:16.020 policies like I'm sorry but
01:02:18.060 this baseline notion that a
01:02:20.700 quote-unquote feminized
01:02:21.640 military is a better
01:02:22.560 military I'm not saying the
01:02:23.880 ideal military is the
01:02:25.000 Russian military the Russian
01:02:26.020 military is obviously a
01:02:27.260 second-rate military and by
01:02:28.620 the way has been for nearly
01:02:29.520 all of human history they're
01:02:31.140 just a very very large
01:02:32.160 military but that doesn't
01:02:33.220 mean they're very effective
01:02:34.040 military but when you
01:02:35.520 actually spend any time I
01:02:36.940 noticed one thing that they
01:02:37.740 didn't do in any of these
01:02:38.580 critiques is actually go talk
01:02:39.860 to frontline soldiers in the
01:02:41.320 American military and actually
01:02:42.500 go talk to frontline soldiers
01:02:43.660 in the British military or the
01:02:44.880 Israeli military or any other
01:02:46.400 effective military on planet
01:02:47.500 earth because one of the
01:02:48.640 things that you will find when
01:02:49.680 it comes to effective
01:02:50.420 frontline military I spend an
01:02:51.640 awful disproportionate amount
01:02:53.300 of time hanging out with both
01:02:55.020 military people and ex-military
01:02:56.600 people is that these are not
01:02:58.360 people who disparage
01:02:59.280 masculinity these are not
01:03:01.200 people who believe that the
01:03:02.420 masculinity ought to be done 1.00
01:03:03.400 away with this doesn't mean
01:03:04.900 that the height of mask I mean I
01:03:06.320 literally say in that clip that
01:03:08.120 the goal of masculinity is
01:03:09.620 protective right that the
01:03:10.820 masculinity is about
01:03:11.980 evolutionarily speaking
01:03:12.940 protecting family protecting
01:03:14.080 hearth protecting home and you
01:03:15.600 need those traditional roles in
01:03:17.720 order to to foster exactly that
01:03:19.440 sort of attitude I fail to see
01:03:21.380 where I said that that
01:03:22.220 traditional masculinity and the
01:03:23.780 masculinity we need is sort of
01:03:24.820 this ultra macho Vladimir Putin
01:03:26.740 riding a bear shirtless kind of
01:03:27.880 stuff I love the jump from from
01:03:29.780 what I said to what what we
01:03:31.680 actually need is sort of Hulk Hogan
01:03:33.060 masculine that's not what I'm
01:03:34.320 saying at all what I'm saying is
01:03:35.360 that our military right now the
01:03:36.740 story that I was talking about
01:03:37.720 and that isn't available in that
01:03:39.280 particular clip when the media
01:03:40.300 matters put out there is the
01:03:41.440 part where I'm talking about
01:03:42.080 what actually happened which is
01:03:43.180 the the military basically now
01:03:45.020 saying that they should not use
01:03:46.180 terms like father and mother on
01:03:48.180 forms and I was saying well if
01:03:49.980 you're if your society
01:03:50.920 disparages the role of father
01:03:52.460 the role of protector the role of
01:03:53.940 husband then what exactly are men
01:03:55.640 doing in the military and
01:03:56.520 disproportionately it is men who
01:03:57.760 join the military I'm sorry to
01:03:58.820 break it to everybody but it
01:04:00.060 turns out that well over 90% of
01:04:02.280 people who are in the military
01:04:03.280 and pretty much everywhere on
01:04:04.920 earth at least in battle
01:04:05.980 positions in the military are
01:04:07.640 men because men are aggressive
01:04:08.960 because men are not opposed to
01:04:12.020 violence as much as women are 1.00
01:04:13.260 which is why also 99% of people
01:04:14.900 in prison for violent crime are
01:04:16.000 men like pretending that men and
01:04:17.420 women don't exist and that 1.00
01:04:18.820 warfare has not traditionally been
01:04:20.240 fought by men and currently is
01:04:21.700 not fought by men and that
01:04:22.740 therefore undermining
01:04:23.340 masculinity has no effect on
01:04:24.880 warfighting or morale is
01:04:26.340 absolutely absurd and everyone
01:04:27.800 knows this but if you say the
01:04:28.820 perfectly obvious these days
01:04:30.060 everybody goes berserk I mean
01:04:32.300 it's it's insane to me there's
01:04:33.800 another clip of me that went
01:04:34.600 viral over the last couple of
01:04:35.740 days in which media matters
01:04:37.040 found a clip of me and this is
01:04:38.380 a shocker I was talking about
01:04:39.540 Virginia bathroom policy in 1.00
01:04:41.540 which I said boys should go
01:04:42.960 pee pee in the boys room and
01:04:43.780 girls should go pee pee in the 1.00
01:04:44.560 girls room because boys should 1.00
01:04:46.160 not be in the girls room just
01:04:47.400 to say they are girls and
01:04:48.300 girls should not be in the 1.00
01:04:48.960 boys room because they can't 1.00
01:04:49.800 use the urinals right and and 0.97
01:04:51.380 this and and somehow this is
01:04:53.440 now considered everything is
01:04:54.840 now controversial because the
01:04:56.440 goal of the left is to change
01:04:57.900 the meaning of words and then
01:04:59.380 attack you based on their
01:05:00.420 changed meaning of the word so
01:05:01.620 when I say masculinity when I
01:05:03.080 say traditional masculinity
01:05:03.920 what you're supposed to hear
01:05:05.160 according to the left is men
01:05:06.500 engaging in me to type
01:05:08.300 predations that's what you're
01:05:09.380 supposed to hear and so if I
01:05:10.480 defend masculinity I'm
01:05:11.360 defending Harvey Weinstein
01:05:12.240 when in reality I say string
01:05:14.020 Harvey Weinstein up and also you
01:05:15.560 need traditional men in the 0.97
01:05:16.360 military you know I'm the
01:05:18.800 military one it it bothers me
01:05:21.560 because I very much would love
01:05:22.980 to be like yay you know pro
01:05:24.420 women we can do everything we 1.00
01:05:25.960 can't do everything and men 0.97
01:05:27.360 can't do everything and I'm
01:05:28.980 sure there are some women who 1.00
01:05:30.140 are tough and full of grit and
01:05:32.120 can get out there and I've
01:05:33.180 met some of them in you know
01:05:34.700 marine training camp but I
01:05:36.280 mean if we're talking about
01:05:36.920 generalities here generalities
01:05:39.020 would I rather have a an army
01:05:40.880 full of men or a Marine Corps
01:05:43.140 full of men or or full of women
01:05:45.440 if I had to choose one gender
01:05:46.760 of course I'd go with men I 0.93
01:05:48.280 would go with men and I was
01:05:50.200 making the pitches the other
01:05:50.960 day that they they told me down
01:05:52.240 at Camp Lejeune that the women 1.00
01:05:53.180 tend to be better like snipers
01:05:54.760 which I know Rob O'Neill is
01:05:56.160 gonna yell at me for but they
01:05:57.020 do apparently they're very good
01:05:58.120 at like controlling breathing and
01:05:59.120 there are certain skill sets that
01:06:00.200 women have an advantage on over 1.00
01:06:02.280 men on but the vast majority of
01:06:03.560 the military skills involve
01:06:04.580 strength endurance a man has a
01:06:08.180 larger heart he has a larger
01:06:09.260 lung capacity all the things
01:06:10.660 that give men the natural
01:06:11.540 advantages help make them better
01:06:12.720 soldiers in most of these tests
01:06:14.740 they have to face it doesn't make
01:06:16.720 me a sexist pig for f sake you
01:06:18.780 know it's like I am a woman I have
01:06:20.560 a daughter I don't want 1.00
01:06:21.640 disadvantages for her or for me
01:06:23.220 but let's be real let's be real
01:06:25.200 and again we're not I'm not what I
01:06:27.600 was saying there is not even
01:06:28.300 talking about something that for
01:06:29.700 sure is true which is there are
01:06:30.660 physical dichotomies between men and
01:06:32.100 women which is why most fire men 0.99
01:06:34.280 tend to be fire men as opposed to
01:06:36.020 fire women it turns out that women 1.00
01:06:37.700 who are generally smaller than men 0.57
01:06:39.160 have a harder time carrying a 300
01:06:40.480 pound obese dude out of a burning
01:06:41.720 building like yes all of that is
01:06:43.560 true also it happens to be that the
01:06:45.480 male instinct which is evolutionary
01:06:47.180 in nature I know that that everybody
01:06:49.000 on the left pretends they love
01:06:50.020 science as long as we are looking
01:06:51.860 at evolution men males tend to have
01:06:54.340 a protective mechanism in encoded in
01:06:56.740 their DNA and pretending that it
01:06:58.700 doesn't exist or undermining that
01:07:00.000 pretending that males don't have any
01:07:01.280 of these roles or that they should
01:07:02.520 be dissuaded from having those
01:07:03.700 protective roles that it's bad for
01:07:05.080 them to do that because it's somehow
01:07:05.900 sexist or somehow tapping into that
01:07:08.060 toxic masculinity is incredibly bad
01:07:10.140 for men it's incredibly bad for the
01:07:11.520 military it's incredibly bad for
01:07:13.080 society I don't understand why any of
01:07:15.180 this is remotely controversial I'm
01:07:16.440 not even saying women shouldn't be in
01:07:17.460 the military if they want to be in
01:07:18.480 the military I'm just saying that
01:07:19.840 when you undermine the idea of
01:07:20.820 traditional masculinity or when you
01:07:22.340 say that that it's it's somehow a
01:07:24.520 violation of womanhood to claim that
01:07:26.520 a very very basic role of a woman is 0.98
01:07:29.120 to be a wife and to be a mother just 0.98
01:07:30.440 as it is a very basic role for a
01:07:32.220 father to be a husband and to be a
01:07:34.360 father and to be a provider like these
01:07:36.960 are not controversial statements and
01:07:38.480 only in a society as stupid as ours
01:07:40.460 would they think it is because that's
01:07:41.940 the thing we're doing we're doing it
01:07:43.000 to women too there's no question that 0.99
01:07:44.820 we have thousands of years of
01:07:45.800 evolution that make women 1.00
01:07:46.800 caretakers not all of us not
01:07:48.820 everybody I get it not everybody's
01:07:50.120 got the gene um my it happens like I
01:07:53.420 know women who are super super over 0.97
01:07:54.820 the top with it and women who are 1.00
01:07:55.900 like my one friend has a great story
01:07:57.320 about how their first baby was born and
01:07:59.100 she and her husband were lying on their
01:08:00.160 bed and the baby kept crying kept
01:08:01.720 crying and kind of looking at each
01:08:03.640 other waiting for the other one to get
01:08:04.620 him and uh her the baby was a girl and
01:08:07.560 he looked at her and goes you know I
01:08:09.240 really thought you'd be more maternal
01:08:10.420 and she goes I know right and she just 0.91
01:08:12.840 rolls over and goes back to sleep so
01:08:15.420 it's a it's of course a rule but it
01:08:17.640 has many exceptions but we're kidding
01:08:19.500 ourselves if we this is why you know
01:08:22.260 women yes to recover from the birth but
01:08:24.560 also are given the maternity leave that
01:08:25.960 tends to be a lot longer than the
01:08:27.000 paternity leave except if repeat 0.97
01:08:28.520 Buddha judge but we're we're denying 0.99
01:08:30.520 reality if we suggest that there's not
01:08:32.560 an instinct that's been cultivated over
01:08:35.300 thousands of years that makes us certain
01:08:37.340 a certain way for women in a certain 1.00
01:08:39.160 way if we're men as a rule but with
01:08:41.960 exceptions all the data demonstrate this
01:08:44.280 by the way literally all of them I mean
01:08:46.100 when you look at the most gender equal
01:08:47.640 societies on earth you're talking about
01:08:48.880 Sweden if you're talking about Norway
01:08:49.940 one of the things that you find is that
01:08:51.500 women tend to go into the stem fields 1.00
01:08:52.900 less often in those areas than they do
01:08:54.820 in some developing countries where
01:08:57.120 basically if you're a woman you can get 1.00
01:08:58.860 the highest paying job and that highest
01:08:59.980 paying job is in stem you go into stem
01:09:01.220 but if you have the option to pick which
01:09:03.220 job you want to go into women in very 1.00
01:09:05.220 socially equal societies tend to go into
01:09:07.520 jobs they want to go into and those tend
01:09:08.680 to be jobs that deal with people jobs
01:09:10.060 that tend to deal with caretaking that's 0.94
01:09:11.960 not the end of the world that's kind of a
01:09:13.180 beautiful thing I mean I'm not I'm not
01:09:14.920 sure why it is that we're supposed to
01:09:16.240 pretend that men men and women are 0.80
01:09:18.260 identical and and I'm waiting for the
01:09:20.640 evidence to pour in that women are 1.00
01:09:21.880 massively happier when they buy into
01:09:24.020 this bizarre notion that men and women
01:09:26.320 are identical or that their interests
01:09:27.780 are absolutely identical one of the
01:09:29.080 great lies the feminist movement told
01:09:30.400 is that women can do everything 1.00
01:09:31.800 simultaneously no one can the one
01:09:34.160 finite quantity on planet earth is
01:09:35.880 time and that time is is not
01:09:37.940 infinitely divisible you have to
01:09:39.480 actually make decisions and trade-offs
01:09:40.840 which is why for example my wife the 0.70
01:09:42.620 doctor who is in a stem field right she
01:09:44.740 works a couple of days a week because
01:09:45.860 she likes taking care of the kids even 1.00
01:09:47.200 when she was in medical school she
01:09:48.320 took maternity leave twice because we
01:09:50.900 wanted to have kids and she wanted to
01:09:52.200 be home with those kids I took off like
01:09:53.620 a week you know that that's because she 1.00
01:09:55.460 wanted to do that that doesn't mean that
01:09:56.920 I'm not getting up with the kids at
01:09:57.880 six o'clock every morning I am getting
01:09:59.100 up with the kids at six o'clock every
01:10:00.280 morning and she usually sleeps another
01:10:01.720 half hour 45 minutes that's the way
01:10:03.360 that our marriage works but the the
01:10:04.900 simple weird idea that women are 1.00
01:10:07.260 supposed to be identical to men and
01:10:08.800 you cannot say that there are
01:10:09.700 traditionally masculine roles and
01:10:10.940 traditionally feminine roles and that 1.00
01:10:12.360 there are people who break those
01:10:14.360 right and and you can have
01:10:15.240 exceptions but there has to be a rule
01:10:16.680 in order for there to be exceptions
01:10:17.760 and when you destroy the rule you
01:10:19.240 don't make the world a better place
01:10:20.260 you make the world a significantly
01:10:21.120 stupider place yeah I was giving a
01:10:23.760 an interview a public interview
01:10:25.800 recently in front of I don't a few
01:10:27.240 hundred people and I was making this
01:10:29.160 point this very point about stem
01:10:30.640 about how it's great that we've
01:10:31.840 expanded now girls access to stem
01:10:33.360 education for the girls who want to
01:10:34.880 become scientists and that's awesome
01:10:36.100 however there are a lot of girls
01:10:37.720 who don't want to do that and then
01:10:39.160 these two sort of uber feminist young 1.00
01:10:41.260 people these women started to boo me 1.00
01:10:43.120 and I turn around I'm like be quiet
01:10:46.160 what do you who are you booing what
01:10:48.060 do you think you're doing what is
01:10:49.560 controversial about what I just said
01:10:50.980 that not all women want to go into
01:10:53.480 stem it's a fact deal with it and by
01:10:56.660 the way you're all of about like 14 so
01:10:58.600 go and live a little bit before you
01:10:59.720 come back and boo somebody like me
01:11:00.820 who's actually been out there right so
01:11:02.020 I didn't say that last part but I
01:11:03.340 thought it but my point is it's not
01:11:05.480 controversial to say that a lot of
01:11:07.000 women don't want to go into stem I 1.00
01:11:08.220 hell no I went to curriculum last
01:11:09.940 night for my son my seventh grader and
01:11:12.120 we went in a math class and truly I
01:11:14.300 was like is anyone else hot it's hot
01:11:16.180 like I was breaking out hives just
01:11:18.580 looking at the shit he's doing Ben
01:11:20.040 like I don't want to do math and I
01:11:21.940 don't want to do science and that's me
01:11:23.240 that's fine I would have been freaked
01:11:25.740 out if I had a school that kept
01:11:27.080 shoving me into stem
01:11:28.260 yeah I again this idea that that if
01:11:31.340 there is a disparity that therefore
01:11:32.900 there has been discrimination that
01:11:34.400 if women choose to take more time off 1.00
01:11:36.060 from the workforce to take care of
01:11:37.120 kids than men do on average which is 0.94
01:11:38.700 true or that women tend to do 1.00
01:11:40.120 different majors than men which is
01:11:41.860 true or that women prefer certain
01:11:43.320 types of jobs to others like you don't
01:11:44.680 see a lot of women who are who are 0.96
01:11:45.840 dreaming at age 12 of working on an
01:11:48.000 oil Derek this tends to be something
01:11:49.440 that dudes tend to want to do like 0.99
01:11:51.840 picking up heavy machinery and using it
01:11:53.400 like that that tends to be sort of a
01:11:54.660 male characteristic and it's true by 0.99
01:11:55.960 the way in primates right if you if you
01:11:57.720 if you look at primate studies what
01:11:59.060 you will see is that from very like
01:12:01.120 baby ages young primate males will
01:12:03.980 turn everything into a weapon or
01:12:05.860 machine and young primate females
01:12:07.900 will turn everything into a baby as a
01:12:09.640 generality that again what is I'm
01:12:12.380 just wondering what's wrong with that
01:12:13.540 like seriously what's the problem
01:12:14.980 why is it suddenly an active good to
01:12:17.440 obliterate this and pretend that this
01:12:18.680 is just some sort of cultural overhang
01:12:21.100 that is promoted by patriarchal men as
01:12:23.540 opposed to maybe men and women are
01:12:25.200 different and maybe that's one of the
01:12:26.080 great beauties of life and pretending
01:12:27.600 that everybody's an interchangeable
01:12:29.240 androgynous widget makes life
01:12:30.820 significantly worse for men and women
01:12:32.620 I keep saying it over and over and I'll
01:12:34.180 keep saying it there is no data
01:12:36.020 suggesting that women today are 1.00
01:12:37.480 happier on average than women were in 1.00
01:12:39.620 1975 or 1965 the average in fact
01:12:42.460 suggests precisely the reverse that
01:12:43.980 women tend to be a little bit 1.00
01:12:44.780 unhappier than they were well is that
01:12:46.580 because the workplace is
01:12:47.480 significantly more discriminatory or is
01:12:49.220 that because we may have given away a
01:12:50.760 few things in the process of gaining a
01:12:52.060 few things and maybe there's a happy
01:12:53.540 medium where women are allowed to 1.00
01:12:55.000 work whatever jobs they want to work
01:12:56.340 and also there are still traditional
01:12:57.700 males who want to marry them and have 1.00
01:12:59.020 babies with them and still see
01:13:00.180 themselves in a protective role vis-a-vis
01:13:01.780 their families
01:13:02.360 I want to round back before I leave
01:13:05.320 this discussion on the first half where
01:13:08.160 we're talking about what we're doing
01:13:09.060 to young men and the demonization and
01:13:11.220 what it's doing to them and an offshoot
01:13:13.700 of that is what happened to this kid
01:13:17.020 this teenager who was killed this
01:13:20.520 happened in North Dakota he was a
01:13:23.240 teenager he was killed in North Dakota
01:13:24.860 by Shannon Brandt a 41 year old man who
01:13:27.880 killed him after with his car after a
01:13:29.680 political argument the man justified his
01:13:32.420 behavior to the 9-1-1 dispatcher he's the
01:13:34.600 guy who killed the young man called 9-1-1
01:13:37.620 and said I did it because he was part of a
01:13:41.820 Republican extremist group and and we had
01:13:46.640 an argument we had a political argument and
01:13:48.820 I felt threatened so he admitted to striking
01:13:51.940 the pedestrian with his car because of this
01:13:53.540 political argument and he believed that his
01:13:56.560 target was calling people to come get him
01:13:59.460 there was absolutely no evidence of that the
01:14:03.320 victim 18 year old Kaler Ellingson was not as
01:14:06.940 far as we know part of any Republican extremist
01:14:08.760 group he was unjustifiably mowed down by this
01:14:12.280 man and as far as we can tell we don't even
01:14:15.480 know what whether they actually had any sort of a
01:14:17.560 political argument whatsoever here's the problem
01:14:19.840 Ben it's been totally ignored by virtually all the media
01:14:23.720 or or when they cover it they don't note who was killed
01:14:28.680 and what the partisan affiliations were so here's one
01:14:31.020 example Associated Press reported that it happened that
01:14:34.160 there was a quote political argument but did not identify
01:14:36.920 which side each was on left out that the assailant said he
01:14:41.180 thought the victim was part of a Republican extremist group
01:14:43.660 now you tell me if this were the other way around and it was some
01:14:48.180 guy wearing a MAGA hat that mowed down some Democrat right
01:14:53.420 somebody who was part of the resistance it would have been
01:14:55.760 mentioned in every city would have been all over the news and
01:14:57.760 it would have been and the partisan affiliations would have
01:14:59.420 been everywhere but this story newsbusters as of 921 ABC CBS
01:15:04.220 NBC CNN MSNBC all of them totally ignored this story not even one
01:15:09.180 second of airtime well if it had been reversed obviously would
01:15:11.880 have been blamed on your rhetoric or my rhetoric I mean the way this
01:15:14.660 would work is is that the the left picks on some of the most
01:15:18.500 egregious examples in public life they'll they'll pick a crime
01:15:21.040 and then they'll just wholesale basically say that that's based
01:15:23.900 on conservative rhetoric don't we need to crack down on this
01:15:26.620 sort of stuff when when it happens on the left we're not even
01:15:29.220 allowed to to talk about the incidents itself let alone start
01:15:32.380 asking questions as to why does this person's rhetoric seem to
01:15:35.160 mirror so strongly for example the MAGA extremist talk that we are
01:15:39.120 hearing from the White House which is precisely what happened if
01:15:41.880 the situation were were reversed and and this is not the only story
01:15:45.180 like this I mean we had an actual journalist killed in Nevada in
01:15:47.940 Las Vegas by a Democrat allegedly by a Democratic council member or
01:15:51.980 person who had just lost his seat because this this journalist was
01:15:54.480 investigating him and and in every headline it doesn't mention the
01:15:57.880 party affiliation of the person who allegedly committed the murder and
01:16:01.000 it's it's it's absolute insanity listen the most obvious example here is
01:16:05.300 that we have a full-on Senate candidate who is winning right now in
01:16:08.220 Pennsylvania who admits to having chased a black person in his car and
01:16:13.140 attempted to to hold him for arrest with a shotgun and because that
01:16:16.800 person is John Fetterman a Democrat this is not even considered a relevant
01:16:19.660 campaign issue beyond like one article in the New York Times six seven
01:16:22.640 months ago the the willingness of the media to ignore stories like this
01:16:27.900 the desperation honestly for the media to ignore stories like this so they
01:16:31.040 can continue to prep the narrative that the only violent people based on
01:16:34.140 politics in America are quote-unquote right-wing extremists is
01:16:36.840 absolutely telling remember what they did to Larry Elder with this the alleged
01:16:40.920 story of him taking out his gun and loading it in front of his girlfriend
01:16:44.460 that was all over the LA Times love that story they they love to do that it
01:16:48.080 doesn't matter Larry Elder's a black man because he's the black face of white 0.98
01:16:50.660 supremacy as they claimed so they can do stories like that about him but they're
01:16:54.100 not so interested in the 18 year old getting mowed down or the journalist as
01:16:57.120 you point out it's just a disgusting pattern and of course you know Joe Biden and
01:17:01.960 all the rhetoric about fighting the extreme MAGA Republicans you're not
01:17:05.840 hearing all that you know we're not hearing about how toxic that rhetoric was
01:17:09.700 and how it put this 18 year old in danger where this guy with a hair trigger
01:17:13.860 thought this kid was about to call reinforcements on some argument they may
01:17:18.200 or may not have been having but it was certainly not affiliated with any extreme
01:17:21.200 groups no they they'll just move on point the other way and start or continue
01:17:26.720 sicking the FBI on people who are associated with January 6th or dark MAGA
01:17:31.440 Republicans all right standby because there's much more to get to and I want
01:17:34.760 to want to talk about Ben's plans for the Daily Wire and for himself and coming up
01:17:39.260 in just a minute first though another of our memorable moments this one's from
01:17:42.200 episode 33 that sounds like just such a baby episode aren't we on like episode
01:17:45.840 400 now and that's December is today 400 yesterday was 400 so we're at 401 anyway
01:17:53.300 this is episode 33 December 2020 think about different the world was even back
01:17:58.200 then Andrew Sullivan joined us for the first time and while we talked about a
01:18:02.840 lot of serious topics we all spent a little time with Andrew explaining to me what
01:18:06.360 exactly bear week in Provincetown was listen basically at some point in the early
01:18:13.600 2000s there were enough openly gay men who were also middle-aged who were exhausted
01:18:20.220 uh because they kept being told they had to go to the gym and stay in shape and to be
01:18:24.800 attractive and they just couldn't be bothered and so they got kind of fat and
01:18:28.200 and they have and so it's basically a bunch of overweight uh middle-aged men with beards
01:18:35.680 and back hair who show up um to to just hang out with each other and eat pizza and drink beer
01:18:43.740 and hang out by the pool and and go to parties and and just chill and it's a you know it's i'll tell
01:18:50.320 you it is a lovely week people at those bears the big fat chubby hairy ones are so mellow and it's it's
01:18:57.120 they really are it goes on from there you will laugh
01:19:01.220 i'll never forget you know i announced that decision on meet the press on sunday morning
01:19:10.200 and then on monday went back to work in congress and just the look on the faces of my colleagues
01:19:17.180 who were coming and they're like you're giving me hugs and they were like tulsi
01:19:20.940 um i hope you realize what you just did uh the clintons keep a list they will never forgive you
01:19:28.100 hillary clinton will be elected president and um good luck because you have just written your
01:19:35.680 political kind of um this this this is a political death wish and and some of this was coming from
01:19:43.100 people who had you know endorsed president obama very early in 2008 and had directly experienced
01:19:49.140 many years of trying to get off of the clinton uh shit list for lack of a better word now streaming 0.75
01:19:57.380 on paramount plus someone is trying to frame us until our names are cleared we're fugitives from
01:20:05.080 interval like bonnie and clyde with better snacks espionage you're still as good a shot as you used
01:20:11.480 to be better is their love language we like to walk that fine line between techno thriller
01:20:17.760 and romantic comedy we make up our own rules ncis tony and ziva now streaming on paramount plus
01:20:25.840 love tulsi gabbard she was on the show back in february of last year episode 69 a great conversation
01:20:34.220 you should go and check out uh more right now with my friend ben shapiro and ben tulsi is technically
01:20:41.080 a democrat but she's you know more center and um she took it on the chin and continues to from the 1.00
01:20:47.720 media another female politician in the news right now who's getting similar media treatment 1.00
01:20:52.980 um is the woman expected to be the new prime minister of italy georgia maloney who everything 1.00
01:20:59.320 i read is a far right new version of mussolini i mean it is like i'm like oh my god she must be
01:21:05.820 truly terrible what is she i don't pay much attention to italian politics but i'm like let's check it out
01:21:11.220 what she what is she touting that they are so upset about well traditional family values family
01:21:17.600 oriented social conservatism uh all right i'm waiting to be offended um she's she doesn't like
01:21:25.900 uh tons of immigration into italy saying it deprives nations and people of their identity
01:21:31.740 well if you have if you let too many immigrants in the country especially the illegal kind 1.00
01:21:35.900 it can be a problem um and then here's politico she is the most far right in the history of the post
01:21:42.520 mussolini republic oh and by the way they're upset that her party criticizes globalists this is also
01:21:48.120 a problem so what do we make of the rise of maloney in italy well again i mean what you're seeing right
01:21:55.040 now is an international backlash against what in the united states would call wokeness but is
01:21:59.640 essentially just sort of a multicultural leftism that has taken over a huge variety of countries
01:22:05.600 and elitist leftism that basically suggests the traditional values are passe that we need to do away
01:22:10.560 with them that open borders are worthwhile that that anybody who says the opposite is some sort
01:22:15.960 of fascist uh it well one of the look the telling thing here is that matteo renzi who's the former
01:22:20.960 liberal prime minister of italy he was asked about about this this maloney and he said she's not a 0.99
01:22:26.500 fascist i don't know what you're talking about but that was ignored in favor of joe biden who today
01:22:30.660 actually came out and said we have to we have to stand up for democracy by standing up because we
01:22:34.560 don't then what happened in italy is going to happen here and it's like oh you mean somebody was
01:22:38.100 elected i've noticed that the democrats very often are using threats to democracy to mean an elected
01:22:44.100 leader in a country and we just don't like the elected leader so victor orban is a fascist
01:22:48.800 authoritarian despite the fact that he won shock 52 percent in the last election cycle and when 52
01:22:53.940 percent in the last election typically by the way when dictators win elections it looks more like
01:22:57.960 the referendum that happened in denetsk luhansk under the russians right we're talking like 92 percent
01:23:03.100 98 percent like castro levels if you want a 52 to 40 48 election essential uh this does not make you
01:23:08.720 a in authoritarian if you are like maloney is in italy and you want a plurality not even a majority
01:23:14.240 this does not make you a dictator if you're the law and justice party in poland and you control like
01:23:19.620 some of the seats in parliament but not even a straight up majority of the seats in this does not
01:23:23.260 make you a dictator the the left it's something to watch it really is the shifting of the language so
01:23:29.800 that being anti-democracy just means being opposed to our agenda it's an amazing thing and and you
01:23:35.480 saw it a lot when joe biden gave that speech in front of independence hall where he suggested that
01:23:40.380 all of his opponents were extremist mega republicans who had to be fought because there were threats to
01:23:44.020 the republic a threat to democracy and he started off by talking about election denial and then he
01:23:47.880 immediately swiveled into also they oppose things like the inflation reduction act it's like okay well
01:23:51.900 hold up are we distinguishing between people who deny election results and people who just disagree
01:23:55.380 with you or are these all part of the same thing and i think what what the left is making clear
01:23:58.920 internationally is anyone who disagrees with us will now be termed a fascist and a threat to democracy
01:24:04.480 itself which is uh truly a shocking undermining i i wrote a column this week specifically about this
01:24:10.980 because we read the articles about whether it whether it's it's maloney in italy or whether you're
01:24:14.740 talking orban in hungary or whether you're talking bolsonaro in brazil the descriptions of the the
01:24:19.100 terrible horrible no good very bad things that they are doing on a procedural level sound a lot like
01:24:22.540 what democrats routinely do in the united states like there's an accusation that that orban has stacked
01:24:27.720 the supreme court in hungary or once or he's gone to war i think i think that the language was that
01:24:32.060 he has been ripping on the supreme court i'm like well that's joe biden every single day so it sounds
01:24:36.600 to me less like you're upset about institutions of democracy being attacked and you're a lot more
01:24:40.720 upset about what the people who are winning are saying about your policies they just don't like
01:24:45.140 those policies very much i saw you had a response to ellen barkin the actress ellen barkin who's who
01:24:50.820 said in response to this win in italy the news out of italy is frightening it really is
01:24:55.460 1933 except this time we are germany for fuck's sake vote hashtag i never forgot 0.59
01:25:03.500 so yeah she's i mean first of all i would just like to point out to her that if you're gonna make
01:25:09.580 a comparison with regard to italy i don't know why you'd go to 1933 in germany as opposed to say
01:25:14.580 1923 in italy which is actually when mussolini took over so she's got the wrong country
01:25:18.100 are you gonna make a mussolini comparison you actually have to look at mussolini that's a
01:25:23.660 totally different country with a totally different dictator so there there is that i mean just the
01:25:28.120 level of historic ignorance is amazing but what i keep coming back to is that you see left-wing
01:25:32.020 leaders across the world who do fully authoritarian things like jacinda ardern who is beloved of the 0.99
01:25:37.380 left you remember she's the prime minister of hobbiton right she's the prime minister of new
01:25:40.920 zealand and she completely shut off her little island and we were supposed to believe that this
01:25:44.820 is the best way to to fight covet because she happened to be on an island with like seven people and a 0.98
01:25:49.560 couple of sheep and she shut it and this was this is like the best she locked everybody down for two
01:25:53.560 years you couldn't get in you couldn't get out you couldn't move outside of your town and she was the
01:25:57.380 greatest just in order well she just spoke at the un and she called for a complete crackdown on dissent
01:26:02.100 on everything from coveted climate change on the internet she said that the internet creates the
01:26:05.980 ability for wars on on truth and so we really need to crack like that sounds like significantly more of
01:26:11.960 a danger to democracy than say maloney winning an election in italy but this is the the morphing of the
01:26:17.960 language is really an ugly thing and it's something that we we ought to watch out it's it also happens 1.00
01:26:22.220 to be true that the left has started to do this routine where they're emphasizing the thematics of
01:26:27.260 say the french revolution over the american revolution so again you saw this in joe biden's
01:26:30.360 speech that independence hall speech which again i think is a historically shocking and and ridiculous
01:26:35.620 speech but it has some deep themes that are worthy of note and in that speech he says that the things
01:26:41.420 that america is really all about are equality and democracy those are the two things that america is about
01:26:45.680 well actually this is a republic not a democracy right here the mob does not rule and if we are about
01:26:51.440 a couple of things it would be liberty and virtue and and republicanism it would not be about equality
01:26:56.500 and democracy which was mob rule in the name of mob justice which really was more like french
01:27:00.820 revolution that was the french sort of hijacking of these these these themes and this notion that
01:27:05.660 anyone who opposes me opposes democracy and therefore they're like the nazis they're like a dictator
01:27:09.940 and we have to fight them i don't know where the limit on that is and this is where you start to get
01:27:14.020 into actual dangerous language when you say that your enemy that your political opponents are
01:27:18.320 literally and i mean i'm old enough to remember because i'm more than two years old when donald trump
01:27:22.900 was ripped up and down for suggesting that journalists in the united states members of the
01:27:27.180 press were left-wing were enemies of the people remember this this is the end of the world there's
01:27:30.760 an attack on the free press now you have joe biden declaring half the american population enemies of
01:27:34.640 the republic right not just enemies the enemies of the republic itself if somebody is an enemy of the
01:27:39.960 republic typically we call them a traitor and that has real consequences to it so they're playing
01:27:44.260 with fire here i want to shift gears um a little bit because we're just getting this in from
01:27:49.560 president biden on uh hurricane ian saying that this could be the deadliest hurricane in florida's
01:27:55.300 history quote the numbers are still unclear but we're hearing early reports of what may be substantial
01:28:00.580 loss of life the pictures down there are just devastating ben i mean are you in florida now
01:28:05.820 i am thank god i'm on the i'm on the coast that really didn't get hit i i'm closer to to south
01:28:10.780 florida so this time it was spared but obviously we have you know friends and some family over in in
01:28:15.680 naples and and and the the west coast just got shellacked and it's it's a disaster area over there
01:28:21.300 obviously and you know that tends to be yeah it's it's it's really bad i mean you see the pictures
01:28:26.340 and you just you wonder how there could be any any survival in some of these areas the winds uh now now
01:28:32.760 it's a tropical storm just an update the winds have weakened to 65 miles an hour uh made landfall
01:28:37.340 on wednesday as a cat four i mean a state of emergency of course has been has been declared
01:28:43.160 it may regain by the way uh strength and go back up to a hurricane but uh it's you know sanibel
01:28:48.440 captiva all these places a lot of people have gone and you enjoy them as these beautiful vacation towns
01:28:53.520 i mean have just gotten absolutely devastated they are leveled um and it's just too soon to know the
01:29:01.020 death toll but that's the first we've heard from from an official on just how bad we expect it to
01:29:04.960 be my god our hearts and thoughts and prayers are with them and hopefully de santis and biden have
01:29:11.180 been coordinating so far in a good way you know i mean de santis was like stop stop trying to pit
01:29:15.720 against each other that's just petty got lives at stake so to his credit um they they do seem to be
01:29:20.880 working together just to shift it though um of course because we're on the subject of the media
01:29:25.460 so bad you can take it to the bank don lemon's going to do something stupid when there's a national
01:29:31.080 tragedy when there's not it really doesn't matter and it is a day that ends in y so he was trying to
01:29:35.620 cover this as the hurricane was moving in and people were worried you know i mean people are dying
01:29:40.460 and he's got um who wasn't it what was the official he's the hurricane center director
01:29:45.140 on with him and here's what happened this guy had to slap lemon down watch
01:29:50.080 can you tell us what this is and what effect climate change has on this phenomenon
01:29:56.820 we can come back and talk about climate change at a later time i want to focus on the here and now
01:30:03.200 we think the rapid intensification is probably almost done listen i just i'm just trying to get
01:30:09.040 that you said you want to talk about climate change but what what effect does climate change have on this
01:30:12.940 phenomenon that that is happening now because it seems these storms are intensifying
01:30:17.180 that's the question i don't think you can link climate change to any one event
01:30:20.780 on the whole on the cumulative climate change uh may be making storms worse uh but um to link it to
01:30:29.060 any one event um i would caution against them okay well they listen i grew up there and these storms
01:30:35.640 are intensifying something is causing them to intensify he's an idiot they're not they've been 0.95
01:30:42.760 very intense for a very long time we've had much worse storms come through since the 1950s
01:30:46.920 but he doesn't like to do homework he just likes to talk about his feelings and his his his feeling
01:30:52.360 is it's getting worse ben and therefore he wants to know whether his environmental agenda can be
01:30:57.220 affirmed as the storm was moving on to florida i mean i do love when when the the big fans of it to
01:31:03.720 science and spend their time trying to rebut actual climate scientists by saying well you know when i was
01:31:09.380 a kid i remember that the hurricanes were bad but now man they are so much worse yeah when you were a kid
01:31:14.520 all the adults look like they were eight feet tall it didn't mean they were actually eight feet tall
01:31:17.280 so there's that also i mean the data are actually in and and fairly clear which is that there's been
01:31:22.880 actually a slight decrease in the number of major hurricanes making landfall in the united states
01:31:27.220 over the course of the last century and maybe a slight decrease in the intensity one of the big
01:31:31.020 problems is that you have what is called the target effect as these hurricanes hit land because
01:31:35.800 the building and the population has grown the target that it's it's possible for it to hit has
01:31:40.200 also grown which means that it's likely to do more damage i mean when a hurricane hit 2 000 years ago
01:31:44.460 it didn't do any damage because there was nobody living there now you have millions of people who
01:31:47.540 are living along these coasts and that means that when the hurricane hits it's going to have a
01:31:51.300 significant impact on on human beings what is truly amazing about this is that the the media
01:31:57.320 will attempt to now paint anybody who does not attribute this to climate change this the intensity
01:32:02.120 of this this hurricane or this hurricane at all to climate change they will then attempt to say
01:32:06.180 that you are a climate denier but every climatologist will do exactly what that noaa official said
01:32:10.380 they will refuse to identify any data point with climate change because that's not how you do data
01:32:15.540 okay you're not supposed to i mean this is true because and you hear from the left that very often
01:32:19.960 you'll see people on the right and there'll be a blizzard and people on the right go hey what
01:32:22.900 happened to your climate change right where's the global warming and i'll say you can't use any
01:32:25.720 specific event as evidence for or against climate change you have to look at a trend because
01:32:29.820 climate is weather over time it's not a singular point and so when you see don lemon doing this
01:32:34.960 he's actually cutting very much against the science which is why you see him being roboted
01:32:38.060 by the noaa guy and all he can fall back on is well when i was a kid i used to live in florida well
01:32:42.260 okay florida man there it turns out there's 21 million people living in florida they all have
01:32:46.140 authority and they all have the same sort of opinions that you do that was his lived experience ben um
01:32:51.280 yeah noaa you know uh national organization i don't know what does noaa stand for noaa um they put out
01:32:57.540 the actual stats and here's what they say uh the historical atlantic hurricane data do not provide
01:33:05.360 compelling evidence for a substantial greenhouse warming induced century scale increase in
01:33:10.880 frequency of tropical storms hurricanes or major hurricanes or in the proportion of hurricanes that
01:33:15.860 become major hurricanes so no for no increase in frequency or intensity as a result of climate change
01:33:21.680 the noaa director national hurricane center um they were he was too polite to actually just shove
01:33:27.000 don lemon's nose in it and don just kept rounding back and kept rounding back because he wasn't
01:33:31.420 humiliated badly enough by the woman on reparations um that he just wanted to go at it again and that's
01:33:38.080 that's where we've landed uh all right so in the time we have left let me ask you about the empire
01:33:42.760 that is the daily wire you and jeremy boring building building it and they have come i love what you're
01:33:49.680 doing with jordan you've got candace now as part of the daily wire so what's next because you're
01:33:54.580 doing movies i mean like what's what is there left to conquer yeah so we have some children's program
01:33:59.700 that's going to come out early next year we're really excited about that since disney decided to
01:34:03.500 woke itself and decided to as they themselves said inject lgbtq plus minus divided by a sign
01:34:08.800 amp ampersand politics into children's tv we've decided that we're going to make competitive content so
01:34:14.480 parents can actually feel safe and secure putting their kids in front of the tv for 20 minutes while you do
01:34:18.320 the dishes and so that content is supposed to come out next year uh we have a doc from candace about
01:34:23.840 the george floyd fiasco that is coming out in the very near future we have a couple of movies that
01:34:28.880 are in production right now we have some tv series that are in production and we're always looking to
01:34:33.140 add on new talent and expand because our basic goal here whether it is jeremy's razors right which is
01:34:38.720 the razor company that we launched directly to slap harry's razors in the face or whether it's for the
01:34:43.580 products our goal is to provide alternatives for people who are being deliberately cut out of the
01:34:47.600 cultural conversation and so we're going to continue to grow along those lines we're very
01:34:51.200 you know blessed we've been able to double the growth of our company nearly every year of its
01:34:54.120 existence and and last year was actually no exception uh and so uh hopefully we'll keep on
01:34:58.060 that trend line i i love watching it ben it's so great and it's it's wonderful that you have
01:35:03.060 independent power now my only fear i'm not gonna make you answer this but my only fear is don't let
01:35:08.820 anyone acquire you don't let any big media company that's already dominating one of these spheres
01:35:14.340 acquire you and and eat up your independence because you know we need diversity on the right
01:35:19.980 too for sure i mean this is one of the reasons and we openly say this to our subscribers and you can
01:35:24.920 subscribe over at dailywireplus.com and we say to our subscribers that basically all these other
01:35:29.060 companies are are funded from the outside we took some seed funding from our founders we're talking
01:35:33.660 like under five million dollars in seed funding when we built this company and i mean it's been widely
01:35:37.140 reported that our revenue this year is going to approach 200 million dollars you know that that sort of
01:35:42.700 of growth was all internal we've done all of that off of cash flow which means that we take the money
01:35:48.220 that our subscribers give us and we use that to produce new content to produce new growth and we
01:35:52.180 do that specifically because we don't actually wish to give up authority over our creation we don't want
01:35:57.500 people on the left grabbing hold of it and diversity equity inclusioning our company into something
01:36:03.240 that it opposes as you've seen with a lot of other quasi right-wing companies lately who have
01:36:07.180 started to parrot some of the nostrums of the left yeah you well you've been amazing on virtually every front
01:36:12.060 and not just the ones we're talking about but you guys got involved in the legal front
01:36:14.980 on the vaccine mandate and won so there's a very important role that the daily wire is playing
01:36:20.580 right now culturally societally legally and just in terms of entertaining us all and keeping us
