Today Matt Wall show after the Islamist00:00:02
attack in Australia, France has shut00:00:04
down its traditional New Year00:00:05
celebration for fear of violent attacks00:00:07
by Arab migrants. Also, Trump provokes00:00:09
outrage by attacking Rob Reiner moments00:00:11
after he was murdered by his son. The00:00:12
White House officially classifies00:00:14
fentanyl as a weapon of mass00:00:15
destruction. And the dictionary's word00:00:16
of the year is slop. I couldn't think of00:00:19
a more appropriate choice. All of that00:00:20
and more today in the Matt Wall show.00:00:26

it's important to stay healthy and one00:00:50
of the most essential components to your00:00:51
overall health is having a healthy00:00:53
liver. Your liver is your body's00:00:54
ultimate filter. It works overtime00:00:56
processing everything you consume while00:00:57
juggling 500 plus daily functions like00:01:00
energy production, digestion, and more.00:01:02
But when it gets overworked, well, you00:01:04
feel it. That's where our sponsor, Dose00:01:06
for Your Liver, comes in. Dose is a00:01:08
clinically backed supplement that comes00:01:09
as a daily 2 shot. Helps cleanse your00:01:12
liver of unwanted stressors that are00:01:13
slowing it down and supports your daily00:01:15
liver function so everything can run00:01:16
smoothly. It also doesn't taste bitter00:01:19
like most supplements do, which is a big00:01:21

circumstances, it would be strange for00:01:38
me to begin the show by announcing that00:01:41
the French have surrendered in the face00:01:42
of a serious challenge. Making a big00:01:45
deal out of a French surrender would be00:01:46
like talking about a Canadian who00:01:49
profusely apologizes or a Russian who00:01:51
gets drunk or North Korean who loves00:01:53
dear leader or a young black male who00:01:56
gets himself into some legal trouble.00:01:57
These kinds of things happen happen00:01:59
every day and if I devoted any amount of00:02:01
time to cataloging all of the times in00:02:04
which the French have waved the white00:02:05
flag, well, we just wouldn't have time00:02:07
to discuss anything else. But today00:02:08
we're going to talk about a French00:02:10
surrender because this particular00:02:12
retreat has ramifications for the West00:02:14
at large and in particular for the00:02:16
United States. The French government has00:02:18
just announced that for the first time00:02:20
they're going to cancel their00:02:22
traditional midnight concert on New00:02:25
Year's Eve along the iconic Shan Elise00:02:28
in Paris which usually draws a crowd of00:02:31
more than a million people. And I even00:02:33
think that I might have pronounced that00:02:34
somewhat correctly which is the greatest00:02:36
shock of all. So, they're still going to00:02:38
um going to have the fireworks at00:02:39
midnight, but they're urging everyone to00:02:41
stay at home instead of attending any00:02:44
parade on the Avenue. Now, why are they00:02:46
canceling the traditional parade, you00:02:47
might ask? Well, here's the New York00:02:48
Post with the explanation that you've00:02:50
probably guessed already. Quote, "The00:02:52
famed Avenue has become a flash point of00:02:54
violence lately with throngs of young,00:02:56
mostly Muslim migrants streaming in from00:02:58
Paris's infamous suburbs at night00:03:00
looking for trouble, looting luxury00:03:02
stores, and brawling with Parisians and00:03:04
police. The Paris police, which pressed00:03:06
the mayor to scrap the concert, cited00:03:08
security concerns such as unpredictable00:03:10
crowd movements without going into00:03:11
details. Even open air Christmas markets00:03:14
are being treated as high-risisk targets00:03:15
by France's interior minister. In an00:03:18
urgent letter to state officials, he00:03:19
warned of a very high terror threat,00:03:21
citing groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS and00:03:23
ordered beefed up police presence at00:03:25
Christmas markets and to restrict00:03:27
vehicle access and mobilize intelligence00:03:29
agencies. Close quote. Now, as it turns00:03:32
out, this report is something of an00:03:34
understatement. Um, I went looking00:03:36
through footage since 2017, and every00:03:39
single year there's been some kind of00:03:40
violent attack or riot, mostly committed00:03:43
by France's non-native population. If00:03:45
it's not an explicit act of terror, it's00:03:47
usually a riot over some career thug who00:03:49
was shot by police officer or Moroccans00:03:52
who are really excited about soccer.00:03:54
Each clip I'm about to show is from a00:03:56
separate incident in or around the00:03:59
center of parents in the vicinity of or00:04:01
directly on Shaun's Elise Boulevard.00:04:05
Watch. We begin with breaking news00:04:07
coming in from Paris. A terror attack in00:04:10
one of the most famous tourist spots in00:04:12
the world. Gunshots ringing out on the00:04:14
Shaniz. Usually packed with people, of00:04:16
course, many of them tourists from all00:04:18
over the world in the United States. It00:04:20
is now a crime scene tonight. The00:04:22
shooter targeting police officers,00:04:23
killing one of them, wounding another00:04:25
before that shooter tried to run from00:04:27
authorities down the Sha.00:04:56
No, that's our00:05:03
ladies and gentlemen.00:05:30
>> [cheering]00:05:31
>> Now, we [snorts] could show another hour00:05:32
of footage like this. It's been going on00:05:33
for a long time. And rather than correct00:05:36
the problem at any point in the last00:05:37
decade or two, French and European00:05:39
officials have continued to allow00:05:41
millions of foreigners, particularly00:05:42
Muslims who despise the West into their00:05:45
communities. After all this time, the00:05:47
decision for the French government was00:05:49
always going to come down to one of two00:05:51
options. The first option was a Trump00:05:53
style crackdown and mass deportations,00:05:57
which probably wouldn't even be enough00:05:59
at this point. And the second second00:06:01
option was surrender. And of course they00:06:04
uh as they so often do they've chosen00:06:05
the latter option. This is a humiliating00:06:08
collapse that somehow gets even worse00:06:10
when you remember that France and it00:06:12
could be easy to forget this used to be00:06:14
a global empire. They had territory in00:06:17
Canada, the Midwest, India, Africa,00:06:19
Asia, the Caribbean and and so on. They00:06:22
helped us win our independence. They the00:06:24
second best navy in the world for00:06:26
centuries. Napoleon conquered most of00:06:28
continental Europe.00:06:30
And now they're so weak. They're so00:06:32
cowardly and so defeated by foreign00:06:34
invaders that they can't even host a New00:06:35
Year's parade. They have to cower in00:06:38
their homes and watch their annual00:06:39
parade on the television because the00:06:42
risk that a Muslim terrorist will run00:06:44
them over or shoot them or blow them up00:06:47
is uh too high. Now, that's not to00:06:49
single out the French. All of the West00:06:50
is experiencing the consequences of mass00:06:52
migration all at once. We spent much of00:06:54
yesterday's show talking about the00:06:55
Islamist terrorist attack in Australia.00:06:58
Meanwhile, in Germany, authorities just00:07:00
shut down a plot to um drive a vehicle00:07:02
through a Christmas market. The terror00:07:04
cell consisted of three Moroccans, an00:07:06
Egyptian, and a Syrian. And while it's00:07:08
obviously good news that the attack00:07:09
didn't succeed, there are many, many00:07:11
more plots like this, which are00:07:13
unfolding all the time. Just today, the00:07:14
Daily Mail reported on a Christmas00:07:16
market ISIS mass terror attack uh plot00:07:19
in Poland. A spokesman for the Polish00:07:21
government said that the aim of the00:07:23
crime was to intimidate many people and00:07:25
support the Islamic State.00:07:28
This is part and parcel of Christmas in00:07:30
the west. Now, in France alone, the00:07:33
government says they've intercepted six00:07:34
terror plots in the past year. It's only00:07:36
a matter of time before one of them00:07:37
succeeds, and they have in the past,00:07:39
obviously. And the same is true here in00:07:42
the United States. Even when terror00:07:43
plots are intercepted, the authorities00:07:45
don't exactly inspire confidence. As you00:07:48
may have heard, the DOJ just announced00:07:49
that it disrupted a series of bombings00:07:51
against targets in Orange County and Los00:07:54
Angeles beginning on New Year's Eve. The00:07:56
perpetrators, authorities say, are00:07:58
members of the Turtle Island Liberation00:08:01
Front or TILF,00:08:03
which is apparently a far-left pro00:08:05
Palestine, pro- quote indigenous00:08:08
anarchist, anti- capitalist organization00:08:11
that no one has heard of before this00:08:14
week. So, these are not Islamists. These00:08:17
are, you know, communist Antifa types.00:08:19
They were also going to target ICE00:08:21
agents according to the DOJ. And in a00:08:23
dramatic Tom Clansancy style moment,00:08:25
they were apprehended by a SWAT team in00:08:27
the desert as they were assembling their00:08:29
bombs, unaware of the presence of an FBI00:08:31
surveillance plane which was watching00:08:33
them. Take a look.00:08:34
>> Um, as I mentioned in my talking points,00:08:36
uh, on December 12th, a group of00:08:38
individuals, again, members of this uh,00:08:41
this uh, anti-government group traveled00:08:43
out to the desert to test their00:08:45
explosive devices. They had precursor00:08:48
chemicals there and they were going to00:08:51
um man uh they were going to uh create00:08:53
these these bombs in the desert. What00:08:56
they are starting to do is put their00:08:57
chemicals and and wares and the00:08:59
components out on the on the table on00:09:02
the table there. This uh footage that00:09:04
you're watching is from our surveillance00:09:06
plane. And then what happened after this00:09:09
is um the Los Angeles FBI SWAT team00:09:12
along with the FBI's hostage rescue team00:09:15
moved in and arrested all four subjects00:09:17
without without incident. Now, as easy00:09:19
as it would be to celebrate these00:09:21
arrests as an unequivocal win for the00:09:23
FBI, an agency that badly needs an00:09:25
unequivocal win, there is reason for00:09:28
skepticism here. And that's not just00:09:30
because the FBI hasn't raided many, many00:09:33
more leftist groups like this by now. 300:09:37
months after the assassination of00:09:38
Charlie Kirk, we have not seen the, you00:09:41
know, nationwide00:09:43
aggressive crackdown on left-wing00:09:47
militants that we needed and were00:09:49
promised.00:09:51
But it's not just that. First of all,00:09:52
the indictment is somewhat reminiscent00:09:54
of the Gretched Whitmer kidnapping case00:09:56
from 2020. If you remember that00:09:58
investigation, the official narrative00:09:59
was that a bunch of right-wingers00:10:00
hatched a plan to kidnap the governor of00:10:02
Michigan and force her to stand trial00:10:04
for treason because of her co policies.00:10:07
But as it turned out, reality was much00:10:09
less dramatic. The FBI and its00:10:11
informants pushed the plot on a bunch of00:10:14
stoners and broke losers, some of whom00:10:16
were acquitted at trial after they00:10:18
successfully argued that they'd been00:10:20
entrapped by the agency. There was no00:10:23
date set for the kidnapping. There was00:10:24
no real evidence that many of the00:10:27
alleged conspirators ever took it00:10:28
seriously. Nearly half the people in the00:10:30
kidnapping van were working for the FBI00:10:32
in some capacity. One of the lead FBI00:10:35
agents on the case was convicted of00:10:36
beating his wife. It was a it was a00:10:38
debacle. So with that in mind, here's00:10:41
the indictment of the Tilf terrorists.00:10:44
And this was first reported by Ken00:10:46
Silva. Quote,00:10:48
"In late November 2025, Carol, a member00:10:51
of TILF, provided a confidential human00:10:54
source or CHS, an eight-page handwritten00:10:57
document titled Operation Midnight Sun00:11:00
that described a bombing plot. The CHS00:11:02
is cooperating with law enforcement and00:11:04
is a validated and vetted source. The00:11:06
CHS has been a reliable source of00:11:07
information since August 2021. The CHS00:11:10
is cooperating for financial00:11:11
compensation. The CHS does not have any00:11:14
criminal history.00:11:16
Now, separately, the indictment makes it00:11:17
clear that an undercover FBI employee00:11:19
was present during a meeting of the00:11:22
alleged co-conspirators on December 7th.00:11:25
Quote, "On or about the early morning of00:11:27
December 7th, 2025, the CHS and00:11:29
undercover employee met with the00:11:30
defendants. Carol stated she had the00:11:32
plan and handed Gaffield four sheets of00:11:35
paper with writing on the front and back00:11:38
of each page with GA which Gafffield and00:11:39
the undercover FBI employee read." The00:11:41
undercover FBI employee later told law00:11:43
enforcement that the papers contain00:11:45
details instructions detailed00:11:47
instructions on how to construct a black00:11:49
powder pipe bomb.00:11:52
Okay, so to recap, the four defendants00:11:54
have been arrested in this case. Pretty00:11:57
pretty small group. So Tilf is not00:12:00
exactly al Qaeda. And yet this very00:12:02
small group of tilts managed to give00:12:05
their entire plan in writing to an FBI00:12:07
informant, someone who's paid an00:12:09
undisclosed amount of money to build00:12:11
cases like this. And as if that wasn't00:12:12
enough, the Tils also managed to invite00:12:14
an FBI employee to their secret hideaway00:12:17
to discuss the attack.00:12:19
Now, to be clear, I'm not suggesting00:12:21
that the TILFs are innocent or that the00:12:24
FBI didn't do a great job in arresting00:12:26
these people, but given what happened00:12:28
with the Whitmer investigation and given00:12:30
how much direct involvement the FBI had00:12:32
with this sleeper cell, you know, you00:12:34
really can't be sure at this point. And00:12:37
things get even worse when you see this00:12:39
tweet from MSNBC's Ken Delanian. And in00:12:42
case you're not familiar with Ken, he is00:12:43
by far the most prolific deep state00:12:46
propagandist in the corporate press. He00:12:48
was caught many years ago, allowing the00:12:50
CIA to vet his stories prior to00:12:52
publication. And that should have ended00:12:55
his career, but it didn't because the00:12:56
role of the corporate press is simply to00:12:58
repeat what the intelligence agencies00:12:59
say. So to that end, Ken has spent the00:13:02
last decade pushing every FBI hoax under00:13:04
the sun. Russia, Hunter Biden laptop,00:13:08
you know, and so on and so on,00:13:09
everything in between. He is put simply,00:13:11
one of the most sinister and00:13:12
untrustworthy individuals on the left,00:13:14
which is, you know, genuinely saying00:13:16
something. And here's what Ken wrote00:13:19
about the FBI's latest bust. Quote, "I'm00:13:22
told by people I trust this was a real00:13:24
plot and the FBI put a lot of resources00:13:25
into unraveling it. Sounds like really00:13:28
good investigative work."00:13:31
So file that under things less true for00:13:33
having been said, that's an alltime. I00:13:36
mean, when you have Ken Delanian in your00:13:38
corner, the guy whose nickname is00:13:40
literally fusion Ken because he promoted00:13:42
the fake uh steel doseier to smear00:13:45
Donald Trump, then you have a a serious00:13:48
credibility problem. The FBI getting00:13:50
praised by Kendelanian. It's like your00:13:52
broker getting endorsed by, you know,00:13:54
Bernie Maidoff. Ken doesn't care about00:13:56
the truth. He's never pretended to care00:13:58
about the truth. Doesn't even really00:14:00
care about partisan politics, strictly00:14:02
speaking. his only purpose is to advance00:14:03
the interests of the intelligence00:14:05
agencies, specifically the unelected00:14:06
members of these agencies that conduct00:14:08
all the day-to-day operations. So, when00:14:11
Kendallian is declaring that the FBI did00:14:13
some, you know, really good00:14:15
investigative work, we have every reason00:14:16
to infer that the exact opposite might00:14:19
be true. And of course, we also have our00:14:21
own eyes and ears. And we could see, for00:14:23
example, how the FBI has conducted the00:14:25
investigation into the mass shooting at00:14:26
Brown University, a school with00:14:29
thousands of cameras, none of which are00:14:31
apparently useful. Now, the other day,00:14:33
FBI agents from the evidence response00:14:36
team were filmed looking for clues00:14:38
around the campus of Brown University,00:14:40
by walking around and kicking the snow00:14:44
with their feet,00:14:46
which I mean, I'm no investigator.00:14:47
doesn't seem like the best way to detect00:14:50
evidence, but that's what they went00:14:52
with. They didn't bring any equipment or00:14:55
anything. They're just scoping out the00:14:57
terrain, kicking the snow,00:15:01
hoping to stumble across a, you know, a00:15:03
gun. It's like when I tell my kids to00:15:05
look around the house because we we00:15:07
can't find the remote. You know, they're00:15:08
just kind of wandering around. Look00:15:11
under a pillow. No, it's gone. Can't00:15:13
find it.00:15:15
Now, just from an opt optics00:15:17
perspective, it's an embarrassing00:15:18
display that strongly suggests the FBI00:15:21
has no idea what it's even looking for.00:15:25
They certainly don't have seem to have a00:15:26
lot of urgency.00:15:28
And that needs to change. And not just00:15:29
because one of the murdered students was00:15:31
the vice president of the school's00:15:32
college Republicans chapter, which00:15:34
obviously suggests a possible political00:15:36
motive. This was a mass shooting at a00:15:38
major university. One in which,00:15:39
according to an article syndicated by00:15:41
Yahoo News, the shooter may have shouted00:15:43
Allah Akbar during the rampage. As you00:15:46
can see, that article cites students and00:15:48
other witnesses for that claim, which as00:15:50
of now the authorities have not00:15:51
verified.00:15:53
And every time they're asked about00:15:54
whether the shooter shoted something and00:15:56
what he may have shouted, local00:15:58
officials in Providence duck the00:16:00
question to a comical degree. Watch.00:16:02
Now, there's a report the shooter yelled00:16:04
something right before he shot came in.00:16:07
Could you tell us what that what that00:16:09
was?00:16:10
>> Yes, part of the investigation. Johnny,00:16:13
>> the only the only reason I asked that00:16:15
though is for instance like with a uni00:16:17
bomber, his brother recognized the00:16:20
writing. So, it's it's possible a friend00:16:23
or family member might recognize if the00:16:26
person said something that was00:16:29
significant.00:16:30
>> Correct. That's why you you don't other00:16:32
than the 9 mm. Is there anything else00:16:35
inside that auditorium that you can tell00:16:37
us? >> No, that's correct. And listen, I like I00:16:39
said earlier, investigations will bring00:16:42
us to evidence that we need to collect00:16:45
in order to be able to prosecute that.00:16:47
With that being said, with that being00:16:49
said, we're going to continue to collect00:16:52
evidence. And if it leads us to00:16:53
something to that nature that's going to00:16:54
be extremely helpful for us to identify00:16:57
somebody, we'll be the first ones to put00:16:59
it out. album.00:17:00
>> So that's something that's something00:17:01
that we're investigating. We took00:17:03
statements and we have to confirm that00:17:04
from the scene a lot of question.00:17:08
>> We're going to we're going to uh wrap it00:17:11
up here. Um so it's clear they don't00:17:14
want to answer the question which00:17:15
suggests one of two possibilities.00:17:16
Either they want to cover for the00:17:18
shooter or they're so incompetent that00:17:20
they need to be fired immediately. And00:17:23
it's not just the local authorities who00:17:25
are failing here. The FBI is failing00:17:26
too. They need to take the lead here and00:17:28
explain what, if anything, these local00:17:30
officials are covering up. The00:17:33
authorities have already completely00:17:34
botched the investigation. First, they00:17:36
detained a person of interest, then00:17:37
released him. Then, state local00:17:38
officials held a series of press00:17:40
conferences that undermined all00:17:42
confidence in the investigation. They00:17:44
brought out a weird fake sign language00:17:46
interpreter, then started speaking in00:17:48
Spanish00:17:50
for no discernable reason. Watch. We00:17:52
want to see uh the individual that um00:17:56
pulled the trigger on these young kids00:17:59
uh identified, apprehended, and brought00:18:02
to justice. I can tell you from the00:18:05
state level, we're continually00:18:07
coordinating.00:18:08
>> Yes.00:18:17
At a certain point, you have to ask00:18:18
yourself, when exactly did our country00:18:20
fall apart in such a visible and00:18:22
embarrassing fashion? What was the00:18:24
moment where everybody in a position of00:18:25
power, seemingly at once, became00:18:28
incompetent parodies of themselves?00:18:32
Until this week, did anyone seriously00:18:34
think a mass shooter could open fire in00:18:36
the middle of a major university and00:18:38
just walk out and remain nameless and00:18:42
unidentified for several days?00:18:46
Did anyone think that in the aftermath00:18:47
the FBI's response would amount to00:18:49
walking around like zombies in the snow00:18:52
and overseeing press conferences that00:18:54
feel like sketch comedy routines?00:18:57
It's enough to make you wonder if the00:18:59
parents of Charlie Kirk's assassin00:19:00
hadn't turned him in, would the FBI have00:19:03
ever found him?00:19:05
Starting to look like the answer to that00:19:07
question is no.00:19:09
Now, it's true that we haven't fallen as00:19:11
far as France yet. We're not completely00:19:14
powerless and forced to hide in our00:19:16
homes as marauding Muslim hordes00:19:18
terrorize our New Year's parades, but00:19:20
we're not far off.00:19:22
our leaders are willing to hold00:19:24
meaningless press conferences where they00:19:25
tell us they're hot on the heels of the00:19:27
Brown shooter or where they tell us00:19:29
Ilhan Omar is living in this country00:19:31
illegally or where they tell us that you00:19:34
know Antifa is a domestic terrorist00:19:35
organization but then don't do anything00:19:38
about it.00:19:39
They'll arrest some tils whoever they00:19:41
are and call it a day.00:19:45
There is um no more time for this. As we00:19:49
trip over ourselves, we are being00:19:50
invaded from within. And at the moment,00:19:53
the signal we're sending to these00:19:55
invaders is a very familiar one.00:19:58
Like France, Germany, Australia, the UK,00:20:02
we're advertising our own incompetence00:20:04
to the world. We're demonstrating our00:20:06
willingness to be subjugated and00:20:08
destroyed.00:20:10
And if somebody in this administration00:20:11
doesn't send a very different signal00:20:14
and soon,00:20:16
then the enemies of civilization are00:20:18
guaranteed to take us up on that offer.00:20:22
Now, let's get to our five headlines.00:20:26

Okay, as you know, uh Rob Reiner and his00:22:20
wife Michelle were brutally murdered in00:22:22
their home allegedly by their son. And00:22:24
[snorts] uh now more is coming out about00:22:26
this relationship, the relationship the00:22:28
parents had with their adult son Nick00:22:32
uh who was an addict, a junkie00:22:35
apparently. Uh Fox says this report from00:22:37
addiction struggles to violent00:22:38
outbursts. Rob and Michelle Reiner's son00:22:40
Nick has said his share of battles00:22:42
throughout the years. On Monday, the00:22:43
third tier was arrested and booked on00:22:45
suspicion of murder and the horrific00:22:46
deaths of his parents.00:22:50
Um this is not the first time their son00:22:52
has been violent. A longtime neighbor00:22:54
said told the New York Post, "I know of00:22:56
another incident a few years back with00:22:57
Nick, but I won't say more than that.00:22:59
Rob was always heartbroken that his son00:23:00
couldn't beat his addiction. I know they00:23:02
wanted to get him help go to rehab, but00:23:05
he wanted to get help while at home. He00:23:07
did not want to get treatment at a00:23:08
facility.00:23:10
Uh he was on heroin, cocaine. So then it00:23:13
goes in more detail about that. [snorts]00:23:16
So there's um you know in some ways not00:23:18
a lot to say about a case like this00:23:19
other than it's horrible and sad and00:23:24
uh I mean the worst the worst fate00:23:26
imaginable00:23:28
for a person is to be murdered by your00:23:30
own child. It's00:23:33
the the the00:23:34
most horrific thing that can happen to a00:23:36
person obviously. And of course, a lot00:23:38
of people are talking about Trump00:23:40
because he attacked Reiner in a Truth00:23:43
Social post00:23:45
and uh which you've probably seen. And00:23:47
then he was asked about it the next day.00:23:50
This was yesterday. And he uh in in00:23:53
typical Trump fashion did certainly00:23:55
didn't apologize for it and instead00:23:56
doubled down and uh here's what he said.00:23:59
Listen,00:24:00
>> Mr. President, a number of Republicans00:24:02
have denounced your statement on True00:24:05
Social after the murder of Rob Reiner.00:24:07
Do you stand by that post?00:24:08
>> Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He00:24:10
was a deranged person as far as Trump is00:24:13
concerned. He said he liked he knew it00:24:16
was false. In fact, it's the exact00:24:17
opposite that I was uh a friend of00:24:20
Russia controlled by Russia. You know,00:24:22
it was the Russia hoax. He was one of00:24:23
the people behind it. I think he hurt00:24:26
himself in career-wise. He became like a00:24:29
deranged person. Trump derangement00:24:31
syndrome. So, I was not a fan of Rob00:24:34
Reiner at all in any way, shape, or00:24:36
form. I thought he was very bad for our00:24:38
country. Yeah.00:24:39
>> Mr. President,00:24:40
>> as many people on both sides have00:24:42
already pointed out, uh Trump going00:24:44
after Reiner hours after he and his wife00:24:47
were just butchered was ridiculous,00:24:50
lowass, gross behavior. It's grotesque.00:24:53
It's stupid. It's wrong. It's all those00:24:57
things. Um00:24:59
and00:25:01
and that that's not not difficult to to00:25:04
say and this is not the kind of thing00:25:06
that if you're a conservative you you00:25:08
should feel the need to well we got to00:25:10
defend it because it's like we all know00:25:12
no one would do that. I mean you00:25:13
wouldn't do it. No one would do it.00:25:16
Um I have seen a few conservatives00:25:18
trying to defend this but these are all00:25:19
conservatives who themselves I know00:25:21
would never say something like this00:25:22
about someone after they were just00:25:24
murdered by their child. uh you know so00:25:28
you know that it's wrong. Now the00:25:30
problem is that I can't take anyone on00:25:32
the left seriously when they ring their00:25:34
hands over it if you're on the left00:25:38
because these of course are the same00:25:39
people who celebrated are still00:25:40
celebrating Charlie Kirk's death. These00:25:43
are the people with who shamelessly with00:25:46
no embarrassment00:25:48
uh celebrate anytime somebody on the00:25:49
right dies.00:25:51
I mean, if this had been a Republican to00:25:53
die, if if Rob Reiner was known as a00:25:55
Republican,00:25:57
an outspoken Republican, then we know00:26:00
how it would go. I mean, we all know how00:26:02
it would go. But you notice how with Rob00:26:05
Reiner, a very outspoken leftist,00:26:08
um, almost almost everybody on the00:26:12
right, almost every conservative00:26:14
responded in a dignified, classy way.00:26:17
And if you were on X when this no this00:26:19
news broke uh as as I was every post00:26:23
from somebody on the right00:26:26
was along the lines of this is a00:26:28
horrible tragedy rest in peace this is00:26:30
terrible and that was it or talking00:26:32
about how uh they really appreciated his00:26:35
work.00:26:36
Um and he was a great artist. I mean, he00:26:39
had a he had a a run of of [snorts]00:26:42
films from what I guess like into the00:26:45
the 80s into the 90s that have has not00:26:48
been repeated by very many directors.00:26:50
And so that's that's what most of the00:26:51
commentary was about from people on the00:26:52
right.00:26:54
There was really only one person on our00:26:57
side who decided to gloat and that was00:27:00
Trump. Now granted, that one person00:27:02
happens to be the president of the00:27:03
United States.00:27:06
Uh so it's not exactly someone. It's not00:27:07
exactly a a social media troll you can00:27:10
just write off. But even so,00:27:13
and and most conservatives, even Trump's00:27:15
biggest fans from what I saw, were00:27:17
openly expressing their disappointment00:27:18
in his reaction,00:27:21
which um00:27:23
even if you go on Truth Social where he00:27:24
put this post up originally and you look00:27:26
at a lot of the comments, these are like00:27:28
die hard. These are these are the the00:27:29
dieards of the dieards when it comes to00:27:31
being Trump supporters. And a lot of00:27:33
them were not agreeing with it. So, and00:27:36
that's something that you would you00:27:37
would never see from the left.00:27:39
So, all that is true. But here's what I00:27:42
want to talk about with this putting the00:27:44
uh00:27:46
putting all that to the side because it00:27:49
sounds like Robiner and his wife were00:27:51
essentially being held hostage like00:27:53
emotional blackmail. Not not literal00:27:55
hostage, but they they were being held00:27:57
hostage in the way that a lot of people00:27:58
are through emotional blackmail by their00:28:00
scumbag junky son. And there are many00:28:03
such cases and they almost always end in00:28:06
tragedy. And you're seeing a lot of00:28:07
these reports now about uh how they00:28:10
wanted to put him in a facility, but he00:28:11
didn't want to go to a facility. He00:28:13
wanted to stay home. They let him stayed00:28:14
home. And I think that Mike Cernovich on00:28:16
X made an important point. He posted uh00:28:18
no one wants to hear it, but if your kid00:28:19
is an unrepentant druggie for your own00:28:21
safety and the good of your family, you00:28:22
need to let him go his own way. Druggies00:28:24
are not helpless victims. They're00:28:25
calculating manipulators and exploiters.00:28:28
And uh he's right that nobody wants to00:28:30
hear that or very few people do, but00:28:32
it's true. And that's one of the lessons00:28:35
in this story. It appears this guy Nick00:28:37
was a junkie, an addict.00:28:39
Uh Rob and Michelle were trying to take00:28:40
care of him, trying to keep him in in,00:28:43
you know, at home. They didn't want him00:28:44
there, but they were they allowed that00:28:45
to happen, which is understandable. He's00:28:47
their son.00:28:49
Uh there are plenty of parents who have00:28:50
been in similar situations, and god00:28:52
forbid you're in that situation. And00:28:53
it's it's there's no easy answer.00:28:56
And every part of you wants to be there00:28:58
for your child. You don't want to tell00:28:59
your child to you don't want to, you00:29:00
know, send your son out. Even if even00:29:03
adult an adult, you don't want to send00:29:04
them out to to be homeless on the00:29:06
street. You don't want that. Like who00:29:07
would?00:29:09
But sometimes you have no choice. And00:29:11
this is what00:29:13
happens. And and part of the problem00:29:16
and again nobody really wants to talk00:29:17
about this but part of the problem is00:29:19
that we have pathized addiction00:29:22
to the point where the addict is treated00:29:25
like a victim on the level of a cancer00:29:27
patient.00:29:29
you know, we say that addiction is a00:29:31
disease00:29:33
and00:29:34
uh and and and that I think that framing00:29:39
that way of looking at it, which we've00:29:41
done with all all addictions, we've00:29:43
talked about them all like they're00:29:44
diseases, whether it's a drug addiction00:29:46
or a gambling addiction or so-called sex00:29:48
addiction,00:29:50
right? Someone cheats on their spouse00:29:52
and now, oh, I'm sick. I'm sick. I have00:29:55
a disease.00:29:58
And uh the problem is that when you00:30:00
start talking about it that way, well,00:30:01
you know, it's a disease. Okay, cancer00:30:03
is a disease. If your son had if your00:30:05
adult son had cancer, you wouldn't kick00:30:07
him out of the house. So what what kind00:30:09
of parent would do that? Of course you00:30:10
wouldn't.00:30:13
If someone you know, a loved one has00:30:15
cancer, has a disease, you're going to00:30:17
do all you can to help them. You'll take00:30:18
them in. You'll give them what they00:30:20
need,00:30:22
right? And um00:30:24
you'll talk you'll yes they'll be they00:30:27
will be a burden in a certain way like00:30:29
so it's it's a it's a burdensome thing00:30:30
in a certain way to take care of someone00:30:33
but it's one that you of course for a00:30:35
loved one you will uh gladly take on you00:30:38
would never consider doing anything but00:30:39
that if somebody has an actual disease.00:30:43
So the more that we have as a society00:30:46
internalized this addiction is a disease00:30:48
thing, the more that we have felt00:30:49
obligated to cater to junkies and00:30:52
addicts,00:30:53
just the absolute drags of humanity, the00:30:56
worst kinds of people, give them what00:30:58
they want, and make ourselves00:31:01
susceptible and vulnerable to them.00:31:04
And we see that on a kind of societal00:31:06
scale00:31:08
with these these druggies that are, you00:31:11
know, allowed to just take over the00:31:13
street and set up camp and make our00:31:16
communities unlivable00:31:18
because we refuse to treat this as a00:31:20
crime. We we refuse to treat these00:31:21
people as just like antisocial,00:31:24
dysfunctional, dangerous vagrants, which00:31:25
is what they are. Instead, it's no, they00:31:27
have a disease. They're sick. I mean,00:31:30
rounding them up and putting them in00:31:31
institution, putting them in prison,00:31:33
that would be like, again, that'd be00:31:34
like doing that to a cancer patient.00:31:38
Um, and then that's what people do in00:31:39
their own lives with with the with the a00:31:41
lot of the addicts they know in their00:31:42
own lives. And um,00:31:45
and that's a problem because the truth00:31:46
is that drug addicts are often often00:31:51
some of the most deceitful,00:31:53
manipulative, selfish, and ultimately00:31:55
dangerous people you will ever meet.00:31:59
You know the they are not the victims of00:32:02
some kind of terminal illness. These are00:32:04
people who have decided00:32:07
yes I said decided to dedicate their00:32:10
entire lives every part of their lives00:32:12
to the pursuit of the pleasure they00:32:14
derive from this drug of choice and they00:32:18
will put that00:32:20
above anything and anyone.00:32:23
That's the reality. That's like the cold00:32:25
hard reality.00:32:27
They've dedicated their entire life to00:32:28
this. It's all they care about and they00:32:30
will put it above anything and anyone.00:32:33
They love the drug more than they love00:32:35
anyone.00:32:37
And uh so the truth is that addiction is00:32:41
not a disease. Okay? It's not.00:32:45
Addiction is a pattern of behavior.00:32:48
It's not a disease.00:32:50
Addiction involves choice. It involves00:32:52
agency in a way that a real disease does00:32:54
not.00:32:56
You don't directly choose to get cancer,00:32:58
right? I mean, cancer can come from00:32:59
lifestyle result. It could be partly the00:33:01
result of lifestyle factors. Um, but you00:33:04
don't just choose to have it. No one00:33:06
does that.00:33:09
People choose to get addicted. They do.00:33:11
You start doing something that's going00:33:12
to have that that can create an00:33:14
addiction and you keep doing it like00:33:15
you're choosing this. You are choosing00:33:16
it.00:33:19
And you can't just change your behavior00:33:21
and magically not have cancer anymore.00:33:25
But addiction is a choice. You choose to00:33:27
start using the substance that you're00:33:28
addicted to, you choose to continue00:33:30
using it until it until habits are00:33:32
formed.00:33:34
And even when the habit is formed, you00:33:35
still choose to use it every time.00:33:39
Whatever you're addicted to, like I00:33:41
don't care if you're addicted to heroin.00:33:43
The point is that every time you pick up00:33:44
that needle, that is a choice.00:33:47
And people say, "Oh, it's not a choice."00:33:48
No, it is. It is. You had to physically00:33:53
do like no one forced you to do it. It's00:33:54
not it's not it's not that that is you.00:33:56
You're a person with a brain and you00:33:59
have chosen to pick it up. You did.00:34:03
Anyone who says otherwise will people00:34:04
say, "Well, it's not a choice." Okay.00:34:05
Well, so then I guess they're totally00:34:07
screwed. They can't do anything about00:34:08
it. So, you can't say it's not a choice00:34:10
and then say, "You need to get help. You00:34:12
need to go to rehab." You know, let me00:34:15
let me help you get You can't say00:34:16
because you just said it's not a choice.00:34:17
You said there's nothing they can It's00:34:18
not a choice. It means there's nothing00:34:19
they can do. If there's anything they00:34:20
can do about this, then that means that00:34:22
there's a choice involved. So, which is00:34:24
it?00:34:26
And the other thing is that addicts00:34:28
respond to incentives. Again, um rehab00:34:31
and recovery would not be possible00:34:33
unless that were true.00:34:36
And the fact that it responds to00:34:37
incentives means it's not a disease.00:34:40
Okay? Whatever you're doing, if it00:34:42
responds to incentives, it's not a00:34:44
disease. Diseases don't work like that.00:34:48
Um, like very often the only way to get00:34:50
an addict to stop to change is to cut00:34:52
them out. Tough love. It's not going to00:34:55
always work. A lot of times it doesn't.00:34:57
But many times it's the only thing that00:35:00
will work. If anything will work, it'll00:35:01
be that.00:35:03
Well, no disease cures itself that way.00:35:05
Okay? Like there there's no, oh, someone00:35:07
has diabetes. Let's give them some tough00:35:09
love.00:35:11
No, it doesn't make any sense. Like00:35:13
diabetes does not respond to incentives.00:35:15
It responds to treatment.00:35:17
It doesn't respond to an incentive. You00:35:19
can't incentivize someone to not have00:35:20
diabetes anymore. They have it.00:35:26
Like here, here's how I I've often put00:35:27
it. If you if you you know, you claim00:35:29
you're acting a certain way because of a00:35:31
disease,00:35:33
whether it's an addiction or some other00:35:34
mental disease that you claim you have,00:35:36
whatever. And this is a widespread00:35:38
problem. It's not just addiction. people00:35:39
constantly, you know, we we've invented00:35:41
a million diseases that are invisible00:35:43
that no one can see,00:35:45
mysteriously cannot be detected on a00:35:47
brain scan, can't be diagnosed with a00:35:48
blood uh you know, you can't draw blood00:35:50
and do a blood test or anything. But the00:35:53
all these diseases and people blame00:35:55
their behaviors on their diseases,00:35:57
right? This is the um the psychiatric00:36:00
industry that's has had this effect,00:36:02
turned us all into slaves of our, you00:36:05
know, desires really believing that00:36:07
we're totally helpless. We can't make00:36:09
any choices for ourselves. Totally00:36:10
infantilized. That's the idea. It's done00:36:13
on purpose. Well, okay. You say that00:36:16
this um behavior, whatever it is,00:36:20
is uh is a result of disease.00:36:23
Well, what if you're about to engage in00:36:25
that behavior, whatever it is, say your00:36:29
drug of choice, you're about to use the00:36:31
drug, take the drug, and then I put a00:36:33
gun to your head and I say, "I will pull00:36:35
the trigger right now." If you do that,00:36:40
I say, "Stop right now, or I'm going to00:36:41
put a bullet in your head." Well, guess00:36:44
what? Every quote-unquote diseased00:36:46
person, person with one of these00:36:48
invisible diseases that causes them to00:36:50
do things, whether it's take a drug or00:36:52
act a certain way, every single one of00:36:54
them would stop,00:36:57
right? They'd put down the they they'd00:36:58
put it down. They say, "Okay, I'm not00:37:00
going to." Every single one every single00:37:01
one with a gun to their head, they would00:37:03
stop. Now, they might not stop forever.00:37:05
As soon as you leave and there's no gun00:37:07
to their head, they're going to be doing00:37:08
it. But in that moment, they will stop.00:37:12
What does that tell you?00:37:14
I'm not suggesting that we treat00:37:15
addiction this way, by the way. I'm I'm00:37:16
only making the point that if you're00:37:18
able to respond to an incentive like00:37:20
that, even a very very severe incentive,00:37:24
then you have agency.00:37:26
You have a choice.00:37:28
If me putting a gun to your head would00:37:30
mean that you would act a certain way,00:37:32
then you can choose to act that way.00:37:34
I mean, it's as simple as that. And no00:37:36
disease works that way. If you have00:37:38
epilepsy and you're having a seizure and00:37:41
I put a gun to your head and say, "Stop.00:37:42
Stop having a seizure. Stop right now.00:37:44
You You couldn't. I mean, you literally00:37:46
couldn't. It is all the incentives in00:37:49
the world. I could threaten I could00:37:50
threaten you. I put a I put a gun to00:37:51
your head. I can say, "I'll give you $1000:37:53
billion right now. Here's the cash.$1000:37:55
billion00:37:56
if you stop having a suit." You still00:37:58
can't because you you can't. It's a It's00:38:00
a If you have bone cancer, I can't put a00:38:02
gun to your head, say stop having bone00:38:04
cancer.00:38:06
Yet, interestingly enough, all these00:38:07
other, you know, quote unquote diseases,00:38:09
addictions, everything00:38:12
with with with severe incentives,00:38:15
um, you can get people to change their00:38:17
behavior. Maybe not permanently, but in00:38:19
the moment they can. In the moment, I'm00:38:21
talking about in the moment. And that00:38:23
means that in the moment is a choice. It00:38:25
just is. This episode's sponsored by00:38:27
Equip Foods. People often pick up00:38:29
protein bars assuming that they're00:38:31
making a quick and healthy decision. But00:38:32
if you've ever taken the time to00:38:34
actually read the label, you were00:38:35
probably surprised to see how much sugar00:38:37
is in these bars. Finding a protein bar00:38:39
that tastes good and is made with00:38:40
quality ingredients might feel like a00:38:43
more daunting task than actually working00:38:46
out. Now, enter Equip Foods Prime Bar.00:38:48
The first grass-fed beef protein bar00:38:50

has become our team's favorite protein00:38:59
bar on the market with 20 grams of00:39:01
protein in every bar. Tried a lot of00:39:03
protein bars on the market. None of them00:39:04
taste like real food. They taste00:39:06
artificial and strange, but Prime Bar00:39:07
actually tastes like real food. And it's00:39:10
good. With just 11 ingredients,00:39:12

clean protein without the bloat. No00:39:19

junk. They're third party tested for00:39:22
heavy metals, microplastics, and00:39:24
pesticides. So, they can actually back00:39:25

claim. If you want to try the cleanest00:39:29

Speaking of drugs, I'll mention this00:39:50
briefly. Trump announced that fentanyl00:39:52
will be formerly classified as a weapon00:39:55
of mass destruction. Uh here he is00:39:58
announcing that00:39:59
>> today. I'm taking one more step to00:40:00
protect Americans from the scourge of00:40:03
deadly fentanyl flooding into our00:40:05
country with this historic executive00:40:08
order I will sign today. We're formally00:40:10
classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass00:40:13
destruction, which is what it is. No00:40:17
bomb does what this is doing. 200 to00:40:20
300,000 people die every year that we00:40:24
know of. So, we're formally classifying00:40:27
fentinel as a weapon of mass00:40:31
destruction.00:40:32
>> Okay. So, what does this mean in00:40:33
practice? The White House put out a fact00:40:35
sheet laying it out. The order directs00:40:36
the attorney general to immediately00:40:37
pursue criminal charges, sentencing00:40:39
enhancements, and sentencing variances00:40:41
in fentanyl trafficking cases.00:40:44
Um, the order directs Secretary of00:40:45
State, Secretary of Treasury to pursue00:40:46
appropriate actions against relevant00:40:48
assets and financial institutions for00:40:50
those involved in or supporting the00:40:51
manufacturer00:40:55
chemicals.00:40:57
The order direct Secretary of War in00:40:58
consultation with the Homeland Security00:41:00
Secretary to update their chemical00:41:01
incident response related directives to00:41:03
include the fentanyl threat. There's00:41:05
there's like 20 bullet points. You can00:41:08
go read the fact sheet for yourself if00:41:10
you want to. Um,00:41:13
I'm in favor of this. I think I mean I'm00:41:15
certainly in favor of doing everything00:41:17
possible to get this poison off the00:41:18
streets.00:41:20
I think um categorizing it as a weapon00:41:23
of mass destruction feels a little bit00:41:25
gimmicky00:41:27
to be honest. If it actually has some00:41:29
kind of practical benefit,00:41:32
then okay, I guess I'm for it. I mean,00:41:35
you can00:41:37
you you can make an argument that it00:41:39
qualifies for the reason that Trump said00:41:41
it is a chemical that kills tens of00:41:44
thousands of people. So, in a sense, you00:41:48
could call it that.00:41:50
But is this just a gimmick00:41:53
or is it is there a reason for is there00:41:56
like a strategic benefit00:41:59
to saying this is a weapon of mass00:42:00
destruction?00:42:02
And that's always the question.00:42:04
Will this have any practical real life00:42:06
implications?00:42:08
Now to me,00:42:11
uh they categorized Antifa as a domestic00:42:13
terrorist organization. It feels a lot00:42:14
like that and then nothing happened,00:42:19
right? And then the the inaction in that00:42:21
case is worse because it's bad enough to00:42:23
not crack down on Antifa, but if you00:42:25
call them a domestic terrorist cell and00:42:27
then still don't crack down on them, if00:42:30
you still don't have mass arrests all00:42:31
across the country of anybody who's ever00:42:33
been involved in any antif activities at00:42:36
all,00:42:39
then what do you do? Why'd you call them00:42:40
domestic terrorists?00:42:42
Like you call them domestic terrorists.00:42:43
That means that we what we should have00:42:45
seen is all across the country every00:42:47
single person00:42:49
who is involved or has ever been00:42:51
involved in any capacity with any Antifa00:42:55
related activities should be under00:42:57
arrest. All of them. So like thousands00:43:00
of people should be under arrest00:43:04
and we haven't seen that.00:43:07
Okay. So we're not actually treating00:43:08
them like domestic terrorists.00:43:12
And the same is true of this. If you're00:43:13
saying it's a weapon of mass00:43:15
destruction, well, now, sure, you're00:43:18
blowing up the drug boats. So, that is00:43:20
consistent. That's cons like a weapon00:43:23
and you're blowing up the drug boats.00:43:24
That's a consistent. That is a That's00:43:27
what you would do if people were trying00:43:29
to uh smuggle weapons of mass00:43:30
destruction in. Sure.00:43:33
But it's got to go a lot farther than00:43:35
that. Okay? Because now like the drug00:43:38
dealers00:43:40
are not just drug, they're selling00:43:42
weapons of mass destruction.00:43:44
What would you do if there was someone00:43:47
on the corner00:43:49
selling a weapon of mass destruction?00:43:54
Okay. What if they were selling a a00:43:55
nuclear bomb?00:43:58
What what would you do?00:44:00
What would happen to that person?00:44:04
Well, if the same thing doesn't happen00:44:06
to the drug dealers who are selling00:44:07
fentanyl, then you're not really00:44:08
treating it like a weapon of mass00:44:09
destruction. And so there's Why'd you00:44:11
call it that?00:44:15
So again, it should be mass arrest,00:44:17
severe severe severe penalties,00:44:20
life imprisonment, death penalty,00:44:23
which is what you would do with a00:44:25
terrorist who's trying to sell a weapon00:44:26
of mass destruction.00:44:28
Life imprisonment at a minimum, probably00:44:30
the death penalty.00:44:33
>> [sighs] >> So, that's what we should be uh looking00:44:35
at. Do you remember the great ammo00:44:37
shortage of 2020? Shelves were bare and00:44:39
even online options were wiped out.00:44:41
Well, there's a company making sure that00:44:42

right, CBS News reports slop has been00:45:43
chosen as Miriam Webster's 2025 word of00:45:46
the year.00:45:48
Creepy, zany, and demonstrably fake00:45:50
content is often called slop. The words00:45:53
proliferation online in part thanks to00:45:54
the widespread availability of00:45:55
generative artificial intelligence00:45:57
landed at the title of Miriam Webster's00:45:59
2025 word of the year.00:46:02
"Such an illustrious word," said Greg00:46:04
Barlo, Miriam Webster's president in an00:46:06
exclus exclusive interview with the00:46:08
Associated Press ahead of Monday's00:46:09
announcement um announcement. So what do00:46:13
they do like a press conference? This00:46:15
this word of the year thing is like00:46:16
obviously a cringe this is a gimmick.00:46:19
This is a cringe marketing gimmick. Now,00:46:20
why does the dictionary need a marketing00:46:24
gimmick? I don't know. That's a separate00:46:26
question. But I will say though that for00:46:28
once they kind of nailed it. So, this is00:46:30
the one time I've seen this dumb the00:46:32
word of the year is and um this is the00:46:35
one time where I say, "Yeah, you kind00:46:36
Yep, that's it. I agree. Number one,00:46:39
it's a real word." A lot of times that00:46:41
word of the year is not even a real00:46:42
word. It's a real word and it is a word00:46:44
that is um has become very relevant o00:46:47
over the course of the year. So, it is00:46:49
the word of the year. Slop is not only00:46:50
the word of the year, it's our it is our00:46:52
future. The future of our civilization00:46:55
is slop. Just an endless stream of slop00:46:58
ingested mindlessly by slackjawed,00:47:01
glossy drones who have no goals in life,00:47:04
no capacity for joy, no internal00:47:07
monologue, no thoughts or feelings of00:47:09
any kind. Just sitting there00:47:12
consuming00:47:14
consuming00:47:16
whatever images pop up on the screen.00:47:19
with no discernment. Whatever whatever00:47:21
pops up, consuming it passively.00:47:24
I was thinking about this the other day00:47:25
that um00:47:28
one of the most prophetic dystopian00:47:30
novels of the past century is um one00:47:34
that doesn't get talked about in that00:47:36
context as often. You know, we hear00:47:37
about we hear about Or or Orwell all the00:47:39
time, Orwellian.00:47:41
And we know what um we know what they're00:47:44
doing with Animal Farm. They're, in00:47:46
fact, ironically, they're treating00:47:47
Animal Farm in a very Orwellian way with00:47:49
this uh cartoon adaptation we talked00:47:51
about. But what one novel that doesn't00:47:53
get talked about nearly as often in that00:47:55
context is Infinite Jess, the David00:47:57
Foster Wallace uh novel that came out in00:48:00
the mid '90s. It's like a thousand pages00:48:02
long, nonlinear. If you've ever read it00:48:05
or attempted to read it, you know it's00:48:07
like a thousand pages long. It the story00:48:10
it there's no it doesn't follow a linear00:48:12
path. So, it's just every paragraph or00:48:14
every chapter jumps from one place to00:48:17
another uh footnotes all over the place00:48:21
and uh by the end if you actually get00:48:23
through it, you won't be entirely sure00:48:25
what the story was even about. You get00:48:26
to the end and say like what was that00:48:27
about exactly? Uh but I liked it and I00:48:31
think that Dave Foster Wells was an00:48:33
absurdly gifted writer. And anyway, in00:48:35
that book, there's this piece of uh00:48:37
content called the entertainment.00:48:39
And it's in the book, it's a film that00:48:43
uh when people watch it, they become00:48:45
totally mesmerized. They become unable00:48:47
to take their eyes off it. They're just00:48:49
they become like these passive zombies00:48:53
that will lose their will to live. they00:48:55
they they no longer have any will to00:48:57
live because they're just sitting there00:48:58
cat in a catatonic state unresponsive00:49:03
watching this piece of content the the00:49:06
entertainment and this was written in00:49:08
like 1996 or something so in the book00:49:10
the entertainment is on VHS I think it's00:49:12
a it's a film that you pop into the VCR00:49:15
or whatever so he didn't get the00:49:17
technology right he didn't predict that00:49:19
part but um otherwise that's exactly00:49:22
where we are now00:49:24
except The entertainment is not a film.00:49:26
It's um it's an endless scroll of slop00:49:28
of content.00:49:31
It It's actually wor It's worse than00:49:33
what David Foster Wallace was00:49:35
prophesying in his book because that was00:49:38
at least a film.00:49:40
And the idea in that in the book is that00:49:42
the film was so00:49:44
great, so beautiful, so mesmerizing,00:49:48
so incredible that it it once you00:49:51
watched it, you couldn't take your eyes00:49:52
off it.00:49:54
And what we have now is a lot worse than00:49:55
that because it's not the entertainment,00:49:58
it's the content. And people sit there00:50:00
staring at it, not really me, not00:50:02
mesmerized by it,00:50:04
not uh captivated by its beauty or00:50:08
anything like that, but numbed by the00:50:11
sheer pointlessness and inanity of what00:50:14
they're watching.00:50:18
And uh it's the slop. He called it the00:50:20
entertainment. It should have been00:50:21
called the slop. And that's where we are00:50:24
now.00:50:25
And no one and we are no one is00:50:28
impervious to it. We're all susceptible00:50:30
to it.00:50:33
Yeah, I talk about this all the time,00:50:34
but I get I get caught up especially now00:50:37
like you go you're on X. I mean, every00:50:38
social media platform is like this now,00:50:40
but you see a video00:50:43
like this happened to me this morning00:50:45
actually. Uh happens all the time. I I00:50:48
see a video that I actually want to00:50:49
watch like a really short I forget what00:50:51
it was, but it was something for the00:50:52
show. was like a piece of content. Okay,00:50:53
I need let me watch that. And then you00:50:56
watch it and it's 35 seconds long. Okay,00:50:58
but then immediately the next video00:51:00
plays,00:51:02
right? Because they just want to they00:51:03
want to keep your eyes on it and it00:51:04
doesn't matter what it's about. And the00:51:06
next video that plays has nothing to do00:51:07
with the thing you just watched. The00:51:10
only reason it's being served to you by00:51:11
the algorithm is simply because it's00:51:13
something that they think you'll keep00:51:14
watching.00:51:16
And it doesn't matter why you watch it.00:51:18
It's not it's it's doesn't m like00:51:20
whatever whatever incentivizes you to00:51:22
watch it is fine as far as the algorithm00:51:23
is concerned. And you could watch it00:51:25
because you're entertained by it. You00:51:26
could watch it because you're grota00:51:28
you're you're grossed out. You could00:51:29
watch it because you're horrified. You00:51:30
could watch it because it makes you00:51:31
angry. You could watch it because it's00:51:33
very sad. You could watch it because00:51:34
it's heartwarming. Doesn't matter. All00:51:37
the algorithm care cares about is that00:51:38
you just whatever the slop is, just00:51:40
whatever is it is that gets you to watch00:51:41
it is is fine. [snorts]00:51:44
And so, you know, the next video and00:51:46
then the next one and then you look00:51:48
down, it's like 42 minutes later.00:51:50
42 minutes. I don't you don't even00:51:52
remember. It's like, it is very, it's00:51:54
like this. It's like the entertainment00:51:56
in infinite jest. You were basically in00:51:58
a catatonic state. You don't even00:52:01
realize how much time went by. And by00:52:03
the end of it, you snap out of it and00:52:05
you're like, that was what did I get out00:52:08
of that? Nothing. I It wasn't even00:52:09
entertaining. I didn't I didn't watch I00:52:11
there was one video I wanted to watch00:52:12
that was 35 seconds long. 42 minutes00:52:14
later.00:52:16
This thing just cannibalizes you. It00:52:18
cannibalizes your attention.00:52:21
And that is the uh the slump.00:52:24
That's our future.00:52:26
And that is the thing that we this is00:52:29
why I preach it all the time that we as00:52:31
parents should be the most concerned00:52:33
about protecting our kids from. It's00:52:35
not. We talk so much as conservatives00:52:37
about uh well, we don't want our kids to00:52:40
be we want to keep them away from the00:52:42
woke stuff. We want to keep them away00:52:43
from the objectionable content. We want00:52:46
to keep them away from the filth and the00:52:47
pornography and all the rest of it. And00:52:49
obviously, we do want to protect our00:52:51
kids from that. That's very important.00:52:54
But00:52:56
just as bad is just the is what that's00:53:01
only part of the problem, I guess, is00:53:03
what I'm saying. What we're trying to00:53:04
protect our kids from becoming00:53:08
is this empty vessel and a vassel. Empty00:53:12
vessel and vassel sitting there staring00:53:14
at the screen. No hopes, no dreams, no00:53:17
desires, no passions at all,00:53:20
ingesting slop. Even if 95% of the slop00:53:24
is on its own looked at in a vacuum,00:53:27
unobjectionable, just sort of it seems00:53:29
kind of um innocent, it's still it's00:53:34
still slop. And that's what we should be00:53:36
protecting our kids from. America is00:53:38
approaching its 20 America is00:53:40
approaching its 250th birthday. It00:53:42
should be a time of celebration. But did00:53:44
you know only 41% of Gen Z say that00:53:47
they're proud to be American? Why is00:53:49
that number not 100%. We need to fix00:53:51
that and fast. Thankfully, there is no00:53:53
organization better positioned to00:53:54
educate young people about the true00:53:56
history of this country than Prageru.00:53:58
For years, young Americans have been fed00:54:00
a steady diet of misinformation. Taught00:54:02
to believe this country is racist,00:54:03
sexist, bigoted. Prageru is correct in00:54:06
the record. They tell the whole story,00:54:07
the good and the bad, but always with00:54:09
accuracy and appreciation for the00:54:10
patriots who sacrificed everything to00:54:12
create the greatest country in human00:54:13
history. Through powerful storytelling,00:54:16
engaging videos, and family-friendly00:54:17
resources, Prageru is reaching the next00:54:19
generation. Millions of young people are00:54:21
finally hearing a message that inspires00:54:23
pride, not shame. And here's something00:54:25
you need to know. While plenty of00:54:26
nonprofits are lined up for government00:54:28
money, Prageru refused. Uh even when00:54:30
partnering with the White House, they00:54:32
won't let the government fund their00:54:33
message. And that's why they rely on00:54:35
patriotic Americans like you. I've00:54:37
worked with Prageru. I've I've seen what00:54:38
they do. If we're going to win the fight00:54:40
for the next generation, we need PragerU00:54:42
wellunded. Right now, every dollar you00:54:44
give to PragerU will be triple matched.00:54:46
That means every dollar you give will00:54:47
have three times the impact. Go to00:54:48
prageru.com/dw00:54:51
during the triple match and make your00:54:52
gift today. That's prageru.com/dw.00:54:56
All right. Finally,00:54:59
speaking of slop, very important report00:55:01
from the New York Post headline. What is00:55:04
the PSL scale? Incelss create looks00:55:07
maxing rating system from subhumans to00:55:10
ultra rare terra chads.00:55:13
So, I was just a crying slop. Let's do a00:55:15
little bit of it. So, this is how Gen Z,00:55:17
this is the system they've devised for00:55:19
rating everybody's looks.00:55:21
This is very important. My producer sent00:55:23
me this. I'm glad they did because this00:55:25
is the kind of information that I need00:55:27
and that the audience needs if you're00:55:29
not aware. So, uh, Jenzie pickup artists00:55:33
have devised a superficial online rubric00:55:35
for judging people's looks, grading them00:55:37
on a scale from subhuman, hideously ugly00:55:40
to terraad, unattainable aesthetic00:55:42
perfection.00:55:44
According to this hierarchical system,00:55:46
Angelina Jolie, Margot Robbie, and00:55:49
Australian model Jordan Barrett rank00:55:51
among the most attractive people on00:55:52
Earth.00:55:54
Um, so how does this thing work? Let's00:55:57
see. I'm looking at it. Okay, this00:55:59
scored on a scale from 1 to eight. At00:56:01
the bottom of the cosmetic cast system00:56:03
with a score of 0.25 to 1.5 are the00:56:06
subhumans00:56:08
who are deemed exceptionally00:56:10
unattractive and often exhibit00:56:11
deformities.00:56:14
Uh most humans fall in the normie00:56:16
category per the scale which divides00:56:18
this designation into three tiers. The00:56:21
first low tier normie 1.5 to300:56:24
constitutes an ordinary level of00:56:25
unattractiveness includes such00:56:26
celebrities as singer Ed Sheeran and00:56:28
rapper Jay-Z00:56:31
and actress and comedian Sandre Bernard.00:56:33
I don't know who that is. Uh this00:56:35
culminates in the high tier version 4.500:56:38
to 5.5 defined as appealing and00:56:39
good-looking.00:56:41
This would be Justin Bieber, Zenia are00:56:44
in this tier. And then in the top 1% are00:56:47
the stunning Chad Lights and Stacy00:56:49
lights, 5.5 to six.00:56:52
And then uh and then all the way at the00:56:54
top are the Giga Chad and Giga Stacy.00:56:56
Only a handful of which are found00:56:58
globally.00:57:00
These are the uh basically people of00:57:01
like godlike beauty. Okay, first of all,00:57:04
no offense to Jay-Z, but he's normie. Is00:57:09
he like he's got to be in the subhuman00:57:10
category, right? I mean, in terms of00:57:12
looks, I'm I'm saying according to this00:57:14
scale, according to the look scale,00:57:15
which I didn't invent. I'm I'm just00:57:19
looking at it objectively. So, I think00:57:20
that he's got to be in the elephant man00:57:22
camp. He's under the circus tent. No00:57:25
offense to him intended. I don't mean00:57:26
any when I say subhuman, I mean it in a00:57:28
non-offensive way.00:57:30
Um00:57:32
then we got all the other other levels00:57:34
all the way up to beings of uh uh you00:57:36
know the as I said godlike beauty the00:57:37
gigachads.00:57:40
Now, where would I put myself? You know,00:57:42
you look at this tier.00:57:46
Low tier normie is what? 1.5 to three.00:57:48
Can I give myself a 3.5? Can I Can I00:57:50
just a half point above low tier normie?00:57:54
I think probably. I'm not fat. That's my00:57:57
saving grace. Does my relative lack of00:57:59
body fat help me escape the low tier00:58:02
normie? Does it help me escape the00:58:04
gravity of the low tier normie vortex?00:58:07
Or maybe I'm like a 2.9, just like00:58:09
barely on the edge, scratching and00:58:12
clawing my way, hanging on the on the00:58:15
edge of the of the cliff with all the00:58:17
hideous trolls down below trying to pull00:58:19
me down. But here's the thing. Here's00:58:21
the thing. Two two quick things about00:58:23
this that I find somewhat interesting.00:58:25
And the first is that we've gone from00:58:28
body positivity.00:58:30
That was the thing for many years.00:58:34
And and I guess that was ultimately kind00:58:36
of the millennial thing. For00:58:38
millennials, it was all about body00:58:39
positivity. You're beautiful at any size00:58:42
and everyone's beautiful and all that00:58:43
stuff. And we've gone from that to now00:58:47
labeling ugly people as subhuman. So00:58:50
wild swings in one direction and then00:58:52
the other. And I have to say between00:58:54
those two extremes because it was a00:58:57
millennial body positivity right to like00:58:59
this Gen Z honest scale. Everything is00:59:03
is [snorts] um everyone is categorized00:59:06
according to their looks and judged00:59:09
accordingly. And I have to say00:59:13
this extreme is healthier relatively00:59:16
speaking. Still not great, but better to00:59:19
put an overemphasis on physical beauty00:59:21
than to pretend that it doesn't exist in00:59:24
my opin because that's more natural.00:59:26
That's at least more natural. Judging00:59:28
people harshly because of their looks,00:59:30
thinking less of people who are ugly,00:59:32
it's not good. We shouldn't do that. But00:59:33
it's more natural. That's a it's a00:59:35
natural human instinct.00:59:37
This thing of pretending everyone is00:59:39
beautiful and we can't even distinguish00:59:41
between someone a woman who's a00:59:43
supermodel and a woman who's 450 lbs.00:59:46
like they look exactly the same to us.00:59:47
That's not natural. That's not human.00:59:50
So, at least this is a little bit more00:59:52
in keeping with human nature.00:59:54
But the second thing is there is a00:59:56
secret. There's a kind of like one weird00:59:58
trick to get to a point where you don't01:00:00
have to obsessively worry about your01:00:02
looks.01:00:04
And the trick, the one weird trick is to01:00:06
get married. Get married and none of01:00:09
this stuff matters. Now, true, in order01:00:11
to get married, you might have to worry01:00:12
about your looks to some extent. That's01:00:14
true. But the goal the point is that the01:00:17
goal that you should have a goal in01:00:18
mind, an objective. What's the point of01:00:20
this? Well, the point should be to make01:00:23
yourself desirable01:00:25
whether you're a woman or a man so that01:00:28
you can get married. And then once01:00:30
you're married, it doesn't matter at01:00:32
all. Now, I'm not saying you should get01:00:33
married and get fat, let yourself go.01:00:36
You shouldn't do that. Um, you shouldn't01:00:38
get married and become a a fat, hideous01:00:39
slob. That's not fair to your spouse.01:00:42
You should stay in shape. You should try01:00:43
to be healthy for your spouse's sake,01:00:45
for your own for your own the sake of01:00:47
your own health. What I'm saying is that01:00:49
once you're married, you don't have to01:00:50
worry about being attractive to01:00:52
everybody of the opposite sex. You found01:00:55
one person, even if it's just one01:00:56
person.01:00:58
You only need to be appealing to one01:00:59
person ultimately, and you found that01:01:02
person. And so, you're good.01:01:06
Don't don't decay, you know, don't don't01:01:08
completely let yourself go, but you01:01:10
found that person. And I can't tell you01:01:12
how freeing that is. It's one of the01:01:14
most underrated aspects of marriage. How01:01:16
freeing, how freeing marriage is.01:01:18
Everyone talks about marriage like it's01:01:19
slavery or something. Especially people01:01:21
who aren't married, they talk about it01:01:22
that way. And some people who are01:01:24
married or have been married talk about01:01:25
it that way, too. [snorts] But I think01:01:28
it's the opposite of that. I think I01:01:30
think there's a lot of freedom in it.01:01:33
Um, marriage is very freeing in many01:01:34
ways, and this is one of them is that01:01:37
you're no longer held hostage by the01:01:40
need to be desirable to anyone else.01:01:44
You don't need that. It doesn't matter.01:01:47
And it makes you impervious in a lot of01:01:48
ways to the judgments of other people.01:01:51
Like my job is on the internet, so I01:01:53
get, of course, I get nasty comments all01:01:55
the time. People making fun of my looks01:01:57
and all this kind of stuff. And it's01:01:58
great because I don't care at all.01:02:01
I'm not going to say that there's01:02:02
nothing someone can say to me that that01:02:04
that you know I'm not going to say that01:02:05
I'm totally impervious to any sorts of01:02:07
criticism at all. No one is impervious01:02:09
in that way. We're human beings. But01:02:11
this is a vein of criticism that has no01:02:13
effect.01:02:15
Cuz someone can say01:02:18
you're ugly and it's like okay. So it's01:02:22
the equivalent of somebody coming to you01:02:24
and saying oh you're really slow in a 4001:02:26
yard dash or saying you're not good at01:02:28
tennis.01:02:30
Okay. So, you're making fun of me for01:02:32
lacking something I don't need,01:02:33
something totally irrelevant to my life.01:02:36
That doesn't hurt. That's not that's not01:02:38
where, you know, everyone has their01:02:40
vulnerabilities. That's not one of them01:02:42
once you're married.01:02:45
And uh so01:02:47
that's the beauty of it. But of course,01:02:49
you got to get a spouse first. So, uh01:02:50
yeah, looks max should be looks maxing01:02:53
if you're if you're single. But this is01:02:55
the end point. This is what we're01:02:57
missing a lot in the in the dating world01:03:00
in general. people having a a clear idea01:03:02
of what the point is, why you're doing01:03:04
this. And uh this is the goal that you01:03:08
should have in mind.01:03:11
And uh that's my01:03:13
that's my motivational speech for the01:03:15
day. And we'll leave it there. Thanks01:03:16
for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk01:03:17
to you tomorrow. Have a great day. God.01:03:21
[music]01:03:28
All of this is an illusion, an echo of a01:03:31
voice that has died.01:03:35
And soon that echo will cease.01:03:45
[music]01:03:47
They say that Merlin is mad.01:03:53
>> [music]01:03:54
>> They say he was a king in David,01:03:58
the son of a princess of lost Atlantis.01:04:01
They say the future and the past are01:04:04
known to him. That the fire and the wind01:04:08
tell him their secrets. That the magic01:04:11
of the hill folk and druids come forth01:04:13

Also, Trump provokes outrage by attacking Rob Reiner moments after he was murdered by his son. The White House officially classifies fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. And the dictionary's word of the year is “slop." I couldn't think of a more appropriate choice.
