[00:01:30]  I use one word far too much.
[00:01:33]  Stupid.
[00:01:35]  I recognize it.
[00:01:37]  And I guess that's stupid.
[00:01:39]  He's stupid.
[00:01:40]  They're stupid.
[00:01:40]  It's stupid.
[00:01:41]  The idea is stupid.
[00:01:42]  Policy is stupid.
[00:01:43]  The commercial is stupid.
[00:01:44]  But it really makes a lot of sense to me.
[00:01:49]  And there's something valuable about stupid.
[00:01:53]  Stupid is the comfort food for thinking.
[00:01:55]  It's the junk food for thinking.
[00:01:57]  It's something that doesn't involve a lot of depth.
[00:02:01]  And what Americans in particular really like that's stupid is a Manichaean, very black and white, good versus evil, simplistic Distinction and collection of ideas and thoughts.
[00:02:16]  Does that make sense to you?
[00:02:17]  I hope it does.
[00:02:21]  I was watching a cable news program as much as I possibly can.
[00:02:26]  And it was a conservative one.
[00:02:27]  And I can't watch it because it doesn't capture the essence and the nuance.
[00:02:35]  Take any particular subject.
[00:02:37]  Israel, Gaza.
[00:02:39]  Good or bad?
[00:02:40]  Good guys, bad guys?
[00:02:41]  You want to try that?
[00:02:42]  You want to tackle that?
[00:02:43]  You want to tell me who the good guys and the bad guys are?
[00:02:47]  And I know most people say, well, of course.
[00:02:50]  Of course.
[00:02:52]  The good guys are Israel.
[00:02:54]  The bad guys are Gazans, Palestinians, because they're really Hamas, and they're the bad guys, and there's terrorism, and that's it.
[00:03:00]  The other ones say, oh, no, no, no.
[00:03:01]  No, no, no.
[00:03:02]  The bad guys are Israel because, after all, this is genocide, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing.
[00:03:07]  They're the bad ones.
[00:03:08]  They're it.
[00:03:12]  They're just wrong.
[00:03:13]  That's it.
[00:03:15]  Since 1948, it's wrong.
[00:03:17]  And there's no empathic anything.
[00:03:23]  You see, if I program that, I'm not going to work on TV.
[00:03:28]  Nobody's going to want to hear what I have to say.
[00:03:31]  Because you see, cable news is the very reason why the country is as stupid as it appears.
[00:03:43]  Because cable news acts as a mirror, a reflector, a stage.
[00:03:50]  It promotes, and by the way...
[00:03:53]  Cable news in particular.
[00:03:56]  This is supposed to be the highest level of consideration and thought entertainment there is.
[00:04:06]  Cable news.
[00:04:09]  Cable news was really changed wonderfully by a man named Roger Ailes, who said one of the greatest things ever.
[00:04:17]  I believe he said this.
[00:04:18]  I've always attributed it to him, so if he didn't, forgive me.
[00:04:21]  But they asked the question, do you think that journalist should be licensed?
[00:04:25]  And he said, you only need licensed to cut hair.
[00:04:27]  And what Roger Ailes did was, he gave people the news source to hear what they want to hear.
[00:04:35]  Do you want to hear any nuanced reports of Trump not on Fox News?
[00:04:40]  Or the soon-to-be-perhaps-defunct Newsmax or any of the others?
[00:04:46]  There really aren't any others, but...
[00:04:48]  Do you really want to hear a Lex Friedman version on particle physics or string theory?
[00:04:54]  No.
[00:04:55]  Not on cable news.
[00:04:56]  Do you want to hear a Joe Rogan look at antiquities or perhaps alien...
[00:05:02]  No.
[00:05:06]  Give us a minute.
[00:05:08]  Give me a couch.
[00:05:09]  Give me four people.
[00:05:11]  Give me a bunch of syrupy, stupid, goofy, saccharine...
[00:05:16]  Anodyne, harmless individuals who wave flags just in some kind of weird vexillology fetish, who only understand the world as seen through a country music song from the 80s.
[00:05:35]  Very simple.
[00:05:36]  My country, my flag, my truck.
[00:05:39]  That's it.
[00:05:40]  Very simple.
[00:05:41]  Very simple.
[00:05:43]  And when it comes to left versions of cable news, oh, it's even worse, if you can believe it.
[00:05:49]  See, in that particular way, they don't even have, at least, say what you want about the right, they have their labels.
[00:05:56]  They have their messages.
[00:05:58]  They have a lot of their stuff.
[00:06:00]  They really do.
[00:06:01]  They believe in things like good, well, I shouldn't say that.
[00:06:07]  They really don't.
[00:06:09]  Oh, abortion.
[00:06:10]  They love abortion.
[00:06:12]  And, um...
[00:06:14]  *clicks*
[00:06:17]  Sort of open borders.
[00:06:18]  They really don't believe anything.
[00:06:20]  I think there's two things the left believes in.
[00:06:25]  As is exemplified and as is promoted on really stupid cable news.
[00:06:31]  Abortion, of course, and hating Trump.
[00:06:34]  They live by hating Trump.
[00:06:38]  If you opened up a store, That had a name, let's say.
[00:06:45]  The store's name would be We Don't Have Baloney.
[00:06:53]  And you said, well, I wasn't looking for baloney, but what do you have?
[00:06:57]  We don't have baloney.
[00:06:59]  Okay.
[00:07:00]  That's their place.
[00:07:01]  We hate Trump.
[00:07:02]  Okay.
[00:07:03]  What do you love?
[00:07:04]  What do we love?
[00:07:04]  We love to hate Trump.
[00:07:06]  But aside from, we're not going to vote for Trump, but tell me something.
[00:07:10]  What do you believe in?
[00:07:13]  Not Trump.
[00:07:15]  Not baloney.
[00:07:17]  It doesn't make any sense.
[00:07:19]  They exist merely by not being Trump.
[00:07:25]  Oh, and abortion.
[00:07:27]  They love abortion.
[00:07:28]  At least they say they do.
[00:07:30]  They're under the impression that somehow, The Constitution guarantees abortion.
[00:07:37]  Now, believe it or not, it's not Roe.
[00:07:39]  It was actually Casey.
[00:07:41]  And Dobbs put an end to that, which it should have because the Constitution never guarantees abortion.
[00:07:47]  But if you want abortion, stay in your state!
[00:07:50]  There's nothing that anybody can do to prevent a state from guaranteeing abortion.
[00:07:56]  Nothing.
[00:07:58]  Nothing.
[00:08:00]  And there's nothing, I mean, would you prefer a constitutional amendment that guarantees the denial of abortion rights?
[00:08:09]  Of course not.
[00:08:10]  But that's it.
[00:08:10]  So that's the left.
[00:08:12]  Abortion and hating Trump.
[00:08:13]  And the right, well, the right, their menu is a little bit fuller.
[00:08:20]  Crime, border, taxes, family, you know.
[00:08:26]  I've got to tell you something.
[00:08:27]  And the reason why they have so much to say is because so much of the aforementioned have been destroyed by the left.
[00:08:35]  So you see, if we could somehow take away cable news completely and force people to watch platforms that talk about a subject more than a minute by four jadrools sitting around on a couch yucking it up, the world would be a better place.

[00:08:53]  But that would require thinking, And have a lifting?
