=== The Danger of Wokeness (05:19) ===

[00:00:04]  What's so scary about the woke mob, how often you just don't see them coming.
[00:00:11]  Anywhere you see diversity, equity, and inclusion, you see Marxism and you see woke principles being pushed.
[00:00:19]  Wokeness is a virus more dangerous than any pandemic, hands down.
[00:00:27]  The woke monster is here, and it's coming for everything, Instead of go-go.
[00:00:35]  Boots, the seductress Green Eminem will now wear sneakers.
[00:00:41]  Hello, and welcome to Where There's Woke.
[00:00:43]  This is episode 126.
[00:00:44]  I'm Thomas.
[00:00:45]  That over there is Lydia.
[00:00:46]  How are you doing?
[00:00:46]  I'm okay.
[00:00:47]  How are you?
[00:00:48]  I'm excited to be talking to the Wokies.
[00:00:49]  Oh, I know.
[00:00:50]  The Wokies are the best.
[00:00:52]  But yeah, we're going to be talking about human trafficking part.
[00:00:56]  No, no, just kidding.
[00:00:57]  Psych.
[00:00:59]  We didn't plan that, you guys.
[00:01:01]  We didn't plan that coordinated psych.
[00:01:04]  We did not rehearse that 10 times right before hitting record.
[00:01:07]  I promise you.
[00:01:08]  Why did you say that?
[00:01:09]  Weird.
[00:01:09]  Yeah.
[00:01:10]  We actually didn't.
[00:01:11]  So, we've been in the human trafficking game for so long that.
[00:01:15]  Clip it.
[00:01:16]  Yeah, we were thinking we got to check back into our roots.
[00:01:19]  You know, we got to get back into the soul of the show.
[00:01:21]  And we were thinking, like, yeah, do we want to look at Ben Shapiro?
[00:01:24]  It's like, yeah, you know, we've talked about him all the time.
[00:01:27]  And, you know, and also I feel like he's practically a liberal now compared to other people.
[00:01:31]  Then we were thinking, wait a minute, we haven't checked in with Greg Gutfeld in a minute.
[00:01:35]  We haven't.
[00:01:36]  He's a show that apparently is higher rated than some of the other nighttime shows now.
[00:01:42]  Yeah, I know.
[00:01:43]  I think there's a little bit of nuance to that.
[00:01:45]  I think part of it is that there's like one thing for all assholes to watch, whereas there's many options for non assholes.
[00:01:52]  So a bit of diversification there, but still he can tout himself as the most widely watched late night.
[00:01:58]  Yeah, whatever shit.
[00:01:59]  Isn't that weird too?
[00:02:00]  It's like late night comedy show.
[00:02:02]  I don't know.
[00:02:02]  Yeah.
[00:02:03]  I mean, it's at 10.
[00:02:04]  It's also earlier than the other ones.
[00:02:05]  Yeah.
[00:02:06]  So I think that's the gaming system.
[00:02:08]  Yeah.
[00:02:09]  The old one.
[00:02:11]  But anyway, so you pulled up, we were like, yeah, looking for ideas.
[00:02:14]  You pulled up a Greg Gutfeld video.
[00:02:16]  Yeah.
[00:02:16]  And we watched a whole 30 seconds of it before, like, dear God.
[00:02:20]  In shock.
[00:02:21]  I think, like, both of us, like, jaw dropped, just overwhelmed with how bad this was.
[00:02:27]  This is really bad.
[00:02:28]  And it's not just that it's unfunny, which don't worry.
[00:02:31]  I will be talking about how funny it is.
[00:02:33]  It is so atrocious.
[00:02:36]  It's just beyond, like, should not be a part of our society.
[00:02:40]  Your society, exactly.
[00:02:40]  Yeah.
[00:02:40]  It's like, it's so ugly and mean and terrible that we got to talk about it.
[00:02:46]  And we got to dispel some of the, obviously, some of the bullshit, but also just talk about how.
[00:02:51]  Horrible, he is, and this is, and that we need to get our country.
[00:02:54]  I don't know if back is the right word.
[00:02:56]  I don't know if we ever had it, but we need to have a proper country.
[00:03:00]  We need to change this.
[00:03:01]  This is terrible.
[00:03:01]  So, we're going to be talking about Greg Gutfeld, or as I named the episode, Greg Buttfeld.
[00:03:05]  Oh, that's great.
[00:03:06]  There, I said it.
[00:03:07]  I like it.
[00:03:08]  Oh, my gosh.
[00:03:09]  That's right, Greg Buttfeld.
[00:03:11]  That's how he will be known.
[00:03:12]  Maybe that's what radicalized him.
[00:03:14]  He was bullied, and people called him Buttfeld.
[00:03:17]  Could be.
[00:03:17]  He deserved it.
[00:03:18]  They should have put him in that locker another time.
[00:03:20]  Yeah.
[00:03:20]  Oh, boy.
[00:03:21]  So, yeah, this is going to be fun.
[00:03:24]  We got to talk about this.
[00:03:25]  It's so terrible.
[00:03:26]  Yeah.
[00:03:26]  Yeah.
[00:03:27]  I guess a little bit of a trigger warning like, he does get into some really, really horrible name calling and stuff.
[00:03:33]  So, if that's something you're sensitive to, oh boy.
[00:03:36]  Well, we'll take our usual break, which you can avoid at patreon.comslash where there's woke.
[00:03:40]  You can avoid the ads, the auto ads.
[00:03:42]  You don't need them.
[00:03:43]  Nobody needs them.
[00:03:43]  Avoid them.
[00:03:44]  patreon.comslash where there's woke and get bonus extras every now and again.
[00:03:48]  All right.
[00:03:49]  We'll take a break and then we will hit play on Greg Butfeld.
[00:03:58]  Okay, well, do we need to say anymore?
[00:04:00]  No, really?
[00:04:01]  Yeah, it's like, how soon until we lose our minds?
[00:04:05]  Like, we can play.
[00:04:06]  I actually asked Lydia before we started if she got through the whole video.
[00:04:09]  Like, I didn't.
[00:04:10]  We don't need to.
[00:04:11]  I doubt we're going to.
[00:04:12]  We'll see.
[00:04:13]  It's 14 minutes, everybody.
[00:04:15]  Yeah, I know.
[00:04:16]  And I was astonished that she got through the whole thing.
[00:04:18]  I did.
[00:04:18]  I got through the whole thing.
[00:04:19]  And I don't mean because, like, oh, you can't watch it because we'll watch stuff for work, but more like because the nature of our debunk work and stuff, it's like it would take.
[00:04:28]  Days to write enough notes or whatever, you know what I mean?
[00:04:31]  So sometimes it's like, okay, we got enough, you know.
[00:04:33]  I think the benefit is of a show like Gutfeld is or Buttfeld is that they don't really talk that much about the stories, a lot of it is them like roasting each other.
[00:04:45]  Oh, I didn't get past him just talking.
[00:04:48]  So we have stories, we have context, we have nuance, we have all that kind of stuff we're going to be talking about, but I think there's also some interesting moments we can kind of go to to just see how the interaction is happening there, too.
[00:05:00]  Sure, but most of all, I can.
[00:05:01]  cannot get over how unfunny he is.
[00:05:04]  And it's not, it's not a partisan thing.
[00:05:07]  It's not because I'm trying to make him be unfunny.
[00:05:09]  It's not, it's that truly right wing comedy fundamentally doesn't work because it's always punching down, but you could still at least, I could recognize like, oh, that's a right wing guy that maybe people would find funny.
[00:05:21]  This is just like, it doesn't work.

=== Why Right Wing Comedy Fails (08:26) ===

[00:05:24]  Nothing works.
[00:05:25]  I love it.
[00:05:26]  I actually love that part of it.
[00:05:27]  Like getting to see how bad you can be at basic construction of jokes is, uh, it's entertaining to me, you know?
[00:05:36]  Well, here we go.
[00:05:36]  This is pretty fresh within the week here.
[00:05:39]  But it's true.
[00:05:39]  As the walls close in, cornered animals are often the most dangerous.
[00:05:43]  I know this from shooting invasive feral hogs from my helicopter.
[00:05:49]  Right away.
[00:05:50]  Right away.
[00:05:50]  Okay, so we're starting in the middle or something.
[00:05:53]  This is the beginning of the clip, but I assume he already did something in the show.
[00:05:57]  It just kind of starts.
[00:05:57]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:05:58]  So this must be some sort of segment of the show.
[00:06:01]  Well, because Fox News puts the entire show on their own app and stuff.
[00:06:06]  And so they just put segments on YouTube, but that's what we got.
[00:06:09]  But what we have is.
[00:06:10]  Set up right away.
[00:06:11]  Ready?
[00:06:11]  Well, a cornered animal, what is it?
[00:06:14]  Are often the most dangerous.
[00:06:15]  Okay.
[00:06:16]  Cornered animals are often the most dangerous.
[00:06:18]  I know this from shooting invasive feral hogs from my helicopter.
[00:06:23]  And then it shows a picture that cannot be him.
[00:06:26]  Is that meant to be him?
[00:06:28]  I don't know.
[00:06:28]  I guess it is.
[00:06:29]  See, that's the thing.
[00:06:30]  But then why wouldn't they just put his face on it?
[00:06:32]  Yeah, I think they use AI for everything.
[00:06:34]  So it made a picture of somebody in a helicopter with a gun.
[00:06:39]  Now, here's famously about being in a helicopter and shooting stuff.
[00:06:43]  You can't corner it!
[00:06:45]  Not even cornered!
[00:06:47]  If you're in a helicopter shooting down on a vast plane, nothing's cornered.
[00:06:53]  Ask Sarah Palin.
[00:06:54]  Idiot!
[00:06:55]  God, it's already so bad!
[00:06:58]  It doesn't make any sense.
[00:06:59]  The person in the helicopter is not him because I think it's because they're using AI.
[00:07:04]  So it's like, it looks more like Kevin James.
[00:07:07]  It's like, it's a perfect cross between him and Kevin James.
[00:07:10]  Yeah, like a more athletic Kevin James.
[00:07:13]  I guess you can't tell.
[00:07:15]  Okay, so there we go.
[00:07:16]  And I fucking love this.
[00:07:19]  I love this show so much.
[00:07:20]  I'm actually, with how bad it is, just joke wise, like everything is atrocious, but getting into the thought process.
[00:07:25]  So, you need that setup.
[00:07:27]  What do you need that setup for?
[00:07:28]  Because that's not a natural setup for anything.
[00:07:31]  As walls close in, cornered animals are often the most dangerous.
[00:07:34]  That's a very artificial transition.
[00:07:35]  So, he wants to talk about something with that.
[00:07:37]  We're nine seconds in.
[00:07:39]  Here we go.
[00:07:41]  Which explains why Joy Behar now wears orange.
[00:07:44]  Which explains why Joy Behar now wears orange.
[00:07:48]  And I swear to God, this is red.
[00:07:50]  Am I crazy?
[00:07:51]  Would you call that orange?
[00:07:52]  I mean, I guess it's hard.
[00:07:53]  Yeah.
[00:07:54]  It's like in between the two colors.
[00:07:55]  It's not a true red.
[00:07:56]  It's not a true orange.
[00:07:58]  I feel like they found a photo of her or a still of her in red and then tried to color correct it to orange and failed.
[00:08:04]  That's what I feel like.
[00:08:05]  Interesting.
[00:08:06]  But anyway, what's the logic there?
[00:08:08]  Which is why she now wears orange.
[00:08:11]  It doesn't make any sense to me.
[00:08:13]  What is that implying?
[00:08:14]  What does that mean?
[00:08:15]  So, I guess we're supposed to refer to the helicopter because you've already lost it.
[00:08:21]  Is wearing orange mean she's cornered or she's more dangerous?
[00:08:25]  No.
[00:08:26]  So, we've lost that.
[00:08:27]  Right.
[00:08:27]  So, he's gone two abstractions away from his statement that's a like clunky intro anyway.
[00:08:32]  So, okay, as you close in, cornered animal, I know this from shooting my hogs, which explains why Joy Behar now wears orange because.
[00:08:43]  He shoots hogs, and so she's trying to make sure she doesn't get shot.
[00:08:47]  And so she's a hog.
[00:08:49]  Is that the.
[00:08:49]  Maybe.
[00:08:50]  Is that what he's trying to get at?
[00:08:52]  I think so.
[00:08:52]  He's calling her a pig, basically.
[00:08:54]  You shouldn't be this confused by jokes.
[00:08:57]  Yeah.
[00:08:57]  You know, like if I tell a joke and Lydia doesn't get it and is like, I have to explain it, that means I didn't usually do a good job.
[00:09:04]  Oh, yeah.
[00:09:05]  You just like leave the whole thing behind.
[00:09:06]  20% of the time, it's because Lydia doesn't know a thing she should know, and that's on her.
[00:09:10]  But most of the time, that means, oh, okay, I guess that wasn't a good joke.
[00:09:15]  Because you can't be sitting there being like, no, no, you don't understand.
[00:09:20]  Because she's just a hog.
[00:09:22]  What?
[00:09:22]  That has no logical connection to anything.
[00:09:24]  And the way the guy, Greg Buttfeld, is sitting back like he's fucking barely putting any effort into his terrible fucking malicious jokes.
[00:09:34]  Though he does have a pile of papers on top of his lap.
[00:09:36]  Yeah.
[00:09:36]  Do you see that?
[00:09:37]  I mean, it's a lot of paper.
[00:09:39]  Yeah.
[00:09:39]  What could that be?
[00:09:41]  What could you be using those papers for?
[00:09:43]  Because it's not to write jokes.
[00:09:44]  Yeah.
[00:09:45]  Okay, here we go.
[00:09:46]  So this is already such a wild ride.
[00:09:48]  I love it so much.
[00:09:49]  Which explains why Joy Behar now wears orange.
[00:09:51]  Okay, what's going to be the next sentence?
[00:09:54]  Because.
[00:09:55]  Wokeism is like any cult.
[00:09:56]  Because what?
[00:09:57]  Why?
[00:09:57]  How do we get?
[00:09:59]  Because wokeism is like any cult.
[00:10:01]  Where did that have to do with any of what we just said?
[00:10:06]  Okay.
[00:10:06]  I can't track it.
[00:10:07]  It's so amazing.
[00:10:09]  I want to make a flow chart of his, like, it's incredible how bad it is.
[00:10:13]  Every level of it is terrible.
[00:10:15]  Okay.
[00:10:15]  So I'm not going to reset all the way, but just to keep track of where we are, because it's so confusing.
[00:10:19]  We are 20 seconds in, and I'm already confused.
[00:10:22]  Yes.
[00:10:22]  So, which explains why Joe Bahern of Orange.
[00:10:24]  And then he just starts because wokeism is like any cult.
[00:10:29]  How do we get to wokeism?
[00:10:30]  We don't know.
[00:10:30]  Is she woke?
[00:10:31]  I don't think particularly.
[00:10:34]  I mean, I don't know.
[00:10:36]  She's like a neoliberal.
[00:10:37]  If that's meant to branch off of her being woke, then you're already done fucked up because the her thing was just referring to you shooting hogs in a helicopter.
[00:10:44]  It doesn't really have anything to do.
[00:10:46]  It isn't directly related to the cornered thing because wearing orange isn't a behavior you do when cornered.
[00:10:52]  And orange isn't related to being woke.
[00:10:54]  Exactly.
[00:10:54]  There's nothing.
[00:10:55]  It's just incredible the level of no effort.
[00:10:58]  Or you're that dumb and it takes this amount of effort.
[00:11:00]  It's like, Flow of consciousness.
[00:11:02]  Yeah, this setup is just so strange.
[00:11:04]  God, it's good.
[00:11:05]  Okay.
[00:11:05]  Because wokeism is like any cult.
[00:11:08]  They only increase the awfulness when they feel threatened.
[00:11:11]  That's why Jim Jones led to mass suicide and why Nirvana led to the Foo Fighters.
[00:11:17]  Oh my God.
[00:11:19]  It's so good.
[00:11:20]  Okay.
[00:11:20]  Okay.
[00:11:21]  So you start with an example that is like not a joke.
[00:11:24]  That's a literal thing.
[00:11:24]  Yeah.
[00:11:25]  So like after they shot the congressman.
[00:11:26]  Yeah.
[00:11:27]  Yeah.
[00:11:27]  So, okay.
[00:11:28]  You type literal, going literal there.
[00:11:30]  And that's why Nirvana led to the Foo Fighters.
[00:11:34]  Yeah.
[00:11:35]  What was closing in on Nirvana?
[00:11:37]  I paused it too early, but I think this one, even the audience was like, not sure.
[00:11:41]  Why Nirvana led to the Foo Fighters.
[00:11:46]  So, no one left because that's not a joke.
[00:11:48]  It's just the panelist.
[00:11:49]  And the panelist was like, fuck, all right.
[00:11:52]  Yeah.
[00:11:52]  And he's like, thank you.
[00:11:53]  Yeah.
[00:11:54]  It's nothing.
[00:11:55]  Let me bail you out.
[00:11:56]  And here, it's a minor thing.
[00:11:58]  He shows a picture of the Foo Fighters now.
[00:12:00]  Like, wouldn't you want to show a picture of the Foo Fighters like shortly after Nirvana to show some connection?
[00:12:06]  We're 100 years away from Nirvana.
[00:12:08]  It's practically not even part of why he's here anymore.
[00:12:12]  You know, like we're 30 years, 30 plus years from that.
[00:12:16]  It's not relevant to it anymore.
[00:12:17]  Like, Anyone younger than me doesn't even understand what just happened.
[00:12:21]  Well, I still don't understand.
[00:12:23]  I mean, I am younger than you, but I also don't understand what is the thing that closed in on Nirvana.
[00:12:29]  Well, yeah.
[00:12:30]  Because it was just that Kurt Cobain killed himself.
[00:12:32]  Well, exactly.
[00:12:33]  You see, the authorities were closing in on Nirvana.
[00:12:36]  And so.
[00:12:37]  Yeah, the FBI was.
[00:12:38]  Jumped out of the drum set and went to a different star to his own band.
[00:12:42]  I don't get it.
[00:12:42]  It doesn't make any sense.
[00:12:44]  All he wants to say is that he doesn't think Foo Fighters are very good.
[00:12:46]  Yeah, Dave Grohl's Bell was good.
[00:12:48]  Yeah, he's as good as Nirvana.
[00:12:49]  Right.
[00:12:49]  Yeah.
[00:12:49]  But you can't just use that then in service of this other point you're trying to make.
[00:12:53]  It's not even like there's no level in which it works.
[00:12:57]  It just doesn't work.
[00:12:58]  Foo Fighters is like objectively had a lot of success.
[00:13:02]  I don't, you know, I always, you know, soft spot in my heart for Nirvana, of course, but like there isn't a universal joke about Foo Fighters being bad.
[00:13:10]  I know that doesn't exist, right?
[00:13:12]  Unless I'm like Nickelback.
[00:13:13]  Yeah, it's not Nickelback.
[00:13:14]  Yeah, like maybe you would have something if Nickelback had spawned from some other band or something.
[00:13:20]  I don't.
[00:13:20]  Why even talking about bands?
[00:13:22]  Why are we doing any of this?
[00:13:23]  None of this is anything.
[00:13:24]  You've only introduced the concept of if someone is threatened, then they get crazier.
[00:13:30]  Why would you connect that to this?
[00:13:32]  I feel like you could come up with something else.
[00:13:35]  I mean, you could have done like bottom of the barrel Britney Spears joke.
[00:13:39]  I feel like you could just jump off a bridge and fucking die.
[00:13:41]  That's what I feel like you could do if you were Greg Buttfeld, maybe.
[00:13:45]  Or if you, apart from that, you could work a little harder and come up with anything.

=== Criticizing War and Rescue Costs (12:38) ===

[00:13:50]  Yeah.
[00:13:50]  God, okay, here we go.
[00:13:54]  Fact is, as sane people leave, the leftovers congeal into something more extreme, like baked on grease.
[00:14:01]  Hey, I do agree with that.
[00:14:02]  Pete Hegseth noted that we leave no man behind.
[00:14:04]  MS Now's leftover, Lawrence O'Donnell, had this to say The general knows, unlike Pete Hegseth, that that could have been a woman they were trying to rescue, and it might be a woman the next time.
[00:14:19]  I haven't looked this up.
[00:14:20]  Okay, I did.
[00:14:21]  There's no chance that O'Donnell.
[00:14:24]  Did a whole monologue based on, well, he said, leave no man behind, and that might have been a woman.
[00:14:28]  Zero fucking chance.
[00:14:30]  This clip really pissed off a lot of people on the right.
[00:14:32]  Actually, Megyn Kelly did a segment on it too.
[00:14:34]  She was like, there's so much you can criticize about the war, but O'Donnell's going to be tone policing Pete Hegseth, blah, blah, blah, blah.
[00:14:41]  National Review did a bit on this too.
[00:14:42]  It's kind of blown up everywhere.
[00:14:44]  But what he's actually doing is he was criticizing Trump overall, the administration overall, the war overall, its cost overall.
[00:14:52]  And when you look at that full context, I can send you this clip right now.
[00:14:55]  Yeah, please.
[00:14:56]  Because I mean, I'm willing to be wrong.
[00:14:58]  Lawrence O'Donnell, I think, is pretty good.
[00:15:00]  I like Lawrence O'Donnell for the most part.
[00:15:02]  I can't imagine him spending that amount of time and emotional energy on that.
[00:15:09]  Like, that would be hard for me to believe.
[00:15:11]  Yeah, it was not a segment based off of language choice.
[00:15:14]  Donald Trump announced today at the White House that they used 155 aircraft and hundreds of military personnel in that rescue mission to save that one colonel.
[00:15:28]  Who ejected from the back seat of an F 15 that the Iranians shot down on Friday when Donald Trump had said the Iranians couldn't possibly do that?
[00:15:43]  Donald Trump said they had no air defenses in Iran.
[00:15:48]  And they humiliated Donald Trump by proving him wrong, by shooting down his planes, shooting down two of his planes.
[00:15:55]  The pilot of that plane was rescued within hours of the shootdown.
[00:15:58]  The still unnamed, seriously injured colonel.
[00:16:01]  Had to hide for 48 hours before the rescue team could find him and save him without losing any other military personnel in that very risky mission.
[00:16:10]  They did lose two rescue planes worth $100 million each that they had to leave behind in Iran and destroy as they were leaving.
[00:16:23]  And today, at the White House, that brilliant rescue was described by the Secretary of Defense and by General Dan Kane, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
[00:16:33]  As a long standing American military rule of never leaving anyone behind, we leave no man behind.
[00:16:45]  That is, of course, the old school version of the idea back when only men flew American military planes.
[00:16:54]  General Dan Kane, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, put it this way.
[00:17:01]  We leave no one behind.
[00:17:04]  The general knows, unlike Pete Hegseth, that that could have been a woman they were trying to rescue, and it might be a woman the next time.
[00:17:15]  But this 21st century notion that we leave no one behind ignores the 120,000 prisoners of war held by German and Japanese forces in World War II for years who were left behind.
[00:17:31]  Is that it?
[00:17:32]  The idea of using 155 aircraft.
[00:17:36]  So it's a minor comment and it's relevant because Pete Hegseth has said in his fucking book and was grilled about it to some extent during confirmation that he doesn't think women should be allowed in the military.
[00:17:50]  And so O'Donnell is making the comment that, hey, this other person, though, who's not Pete Hegseth, more professional, knows that it could have been a woman.
[00:17:58]  Yep.
[00:17:59]  Okay, literally, that's one sentence spent on something that is completely valid.
[00:18:06]  Yep.
[00:18:06]  That's how fucking stupid these people are.
[00:18:10]  They have to pump everything out of anything they can find.
[00:18:14]  And that's how desperate they are.
[00:18:15]  When I was watching some of the other commentary around this particular clip from the right, the National Review was, you know, like, No Man Left Behind.
[00:18:23]  It's been that way since colonial times.
[00:18:25]  That's a saying dates back to that.
[00:18:26]  I was like, There's no freaking way.
[00:18:28]  So I looked that up and.
[00:18:30]  I could see that being true.
[00:18:31]  It's not quite that old, but it was focused on men because that's who was surveyed.
[00:18:35]  Well, it also, I mean, there also was a thing where the language was just assumed to be representative of both genders, even when you're saying male.
[00:18:43]  Yes, exactly.
[00:18:43]  That's just how language was.
[00:18:45]  So I was looking up because various branches of the military have this baked into like their creed.
[00:18:51]  And the Army's soldiers' creed says, I will never leave a fallen comrade.
[00:18:56]  Comrade, those fucking communists.
[00:18:59]  The Marine Corps is, leave no one behind no matter the cost.
[00:19:02]  Well, it's because the wokest got in there and DEI'd it.
[00:19:05]  That's why.
[00:19:06]  And then the airman's creed is I will never leave an airman behind.
[00:19:09]  Airman is not gender specific, by the way.
[00:19:11]  It's applied to all folks that serve in the Air Force.
[00:19:15]  Sure.
[00:19:15]  But just kind of like looking at the way that it's employed in the language of the people who actually serve in the military.
[00:19:22]  Yeah, I think it's perfectly fine to call out Pete Hex's choice of language there.
[00:19:26]  And here's the thing I don't even think he's calling it out, even in the way that they think.
[00:19:31]  Like, I think that if this had been just average.
[00:19:35]  I don't know, Secretary of Defense or somebody else who said, Yeah, leave no man behind.
[00:19:38]  I don't think O'Donnell would have given a shit about it.
[00:19:41]  It's not really about the language policing of that.
[00:19:44]  It's that we know the fucker doesn't believe women should be in the military.
[00:19:49]  Yeah.
[00:19:49]  That's what it is.
[00:19:51]  It's a totally valid thing to point out.
[00:19:53]  It's also like in the larger context of criticizing the war and the cost of, I don't think he's saying we shouldn't have tried to rescue this person, but recognize the amount of money, the additional lives that you're putting at risk in order to get that one person.
[00:20:07]  This is something where it's like, It's really like a morale based thing.
[00:20:11]  Practically, it's really, really hard to actually put this into practice during war.
[00:20:16]  Of course, and he mentioned it in his clip as well that we had over 100,000, 150,000 prisoners of war in World War II.
[00:20:23]  As of this year, there's still 83,000 people that remain unaccounted for from our previous wars that just never were found.
[00:20:30]  It's 73,547 from World War II, 7,883 from the Korean War, and 1,642 from the Vietnam War.
[00:20:39]  In order to like fulfill that promise, like no one left behind, no man left behind, no whatever, who cares?
[00:20:45]  It does take time.
[00:20:46]  And I'm not upset that they rescued this person or anything like that.
[00:20:50]  But he mentioned, you know, we lost two $100 million aircraft that we just had to essentially light on fire as we left.
[00:20:58]  And this war is stupid and it's a bad idea.
[00:21:01]  Yeah, I don't think the criticism would be, no, you should have left that guy there.
[00:21:05]  No, no, absolutely not.
[00:21:05]  Yeah, no, I'm agreeing with you.
[00:21:07]  So it's more like we shouldn't even be here.
[00:21:09]  And now it's costing even more.
[00:21:10]  Yeah.
[00:21:11]  And again, and putting other people's lives at risk.
[00:21:13]  Right.
[00:21:13]  I mean, I don't even think that's like that important.
[00:21:16]  We are like the whole thing was seizing on that word choice, you know, like that's their complaint.
[00:21:22]  But let's see where the logic goes from here.
[00:21:24]  I can't.
[00:21:25]  Oh my God.
[00:21:25]  Are you ready for this?
[00:21:26]  No, you're not.
[00:21:27]  Listener, you are not ready for this.
[00:21:29]  Here we go.
[00:21:29]  I'm going to rescue, and it might be a woman the next time.
[00:21:34]  Sorry, Larry, but Pete knew for sure the pilot was male, which is more than I could say about my thoughts on Chris Hayes.
[00:21:42]  So crazy.
[00:21:43]  Which is more than I can say about my thoughts on Chris Hayes.
[00:21:48]  It already was bad.
[00:21:49]  I actually forgot the my thoughts part.
[00:21:51]  I was already remembering, which is more than I can say about Chris Hayes.
[00:21:56]  That already wouldn't work because you're saying, again, the thing about language is it means stuff and you gotta use it in a way that makes sense to make jokes, or it has to not make sense in a way that's funny.
[00:22:07]  not just confusing again sorry larry but pete knew for sure the pilot was a male which is more than i can say about my thoughts on chris hayes so you can't quite say about chris hayes that pete knew the pilot was a male you would never say that about chris hayes i agree yeah what are you talking about yeah the joke is supposed to be chris hayes looks like a woman to him i guess I guess.
[00:22:36]  But like, you can't, like, there's even in that realm of bad, offensive, idiot joke, you could still make it in a way that would be coherent.
[00:22:46]  It's so fucking bad.
[00:22:48]  Yeah.
[00:22:48]  It is so bad.
[00:22:49]  And here's the thing.
[00:22:50]  You know what?
[00:22:51]  I'm just here.
[00:22:52]  I'm just forming a theory.
[00:22:53]  Here's my theory.
[00:22:54]  Okay.
[00:22:54]  Tell me.
[00:22:54]  Lay it on me.
[00:22:55]  When you are a piece of shit like Greg Buttfeld, and when you are in the piece of shit milieu, the Buttfeld and that kind of humor cohort.
[00:23:04]  Yeah.
[00:23:05]  What you have is a whole wealth of experience of telling.
[00:23:10]  Really stupid and offensive jokes, and everyone's saying, like, dude, that's not funny.
[00:23:16]  And because you're an asshole, you can always think, oh, they just didn't laugh because it was, you know, they're offended.
[00:23:23]  That's why I didn't laugh.
[00:23:24]  They're offended by the joke, and that's why I didn't laugh.
[00:23:26]  It's actually funny.
[00:23:27]  Yeah, it's actually so funny, but they're just offended.
[00:23:31]  But meanwhile, they might have just been like, dude, that's literally not funny.
[00:23:34]  Like, I don't, that's not coherent.
[00:23:37]  I don't know what the joke is.
[00:23:38]  I'm going to drop this more.
[00:23:39]  Yeah.
[00:23:39]  So this is my new theory.
[00:23:41]  He's never able to separate that.
[00:23:43]  Yeah.
[00:23:43]  So every time someone's like, yeah, I don't think that's funny, he's probably like, oh, oh, wokest.
[00:23:48]  Yeah.
[00:23:49]  It's like, no, it's just.
[00:23:50]  Did I offend you?
[00:23:51]  No, it's just literally, it doesn't make any sense.
[00:23:53]  Yeah.
[00:23:54]  Just the way that, like, yeah, like syntax, you know, like a way to describe the sentence structure.
[00:23:59]  Why did you say my thoughts?
[00:24:01]  That made it even worse.
[00:24:03]  You're saying about your thoughts on Chris Hayes that Pete knew the pilot was a man.
[00:24:07]  You know, honestly, like, not that Rob Schneider is funny, but he, I think he understands.
[00:24:14]  A little bit more.
[00:24:15]  I'm not saying he's good at it.
[00:24:18]  Why are we going down this road?
[00:24:19]  How to, I would say, like 80% of the time, probably structures a joke correctly.
[00:24:25]  If you want to say even Rob Schneider is funnier than Greg Buttfeld, I will agree with you.
[00:24:30]  Yes.
[00:24:31]  You don't need to go further than that.
[00:24:35]  Yeah.
[00:24:35]  No, this is the least funny.
[00:24:37]  I think this is the least funny anyone's ever been on TV, like that you're allowed to even be.
[00:24:43]  Yeah.
[00:24:43]  Ooh, okay.
[00:24:44]  If we put Greg Buttfeld and Bill Maher. In a room together, Bill Maher's funnier easily.
[00:24:49]  Easily, Bill Maher is capable of being funny, he's mostly not because his brain is melted by some of the same stuff, yeah.
[00:24:57]  But he's capable of being funny now and again.
[00:24:59]  But I'm more offended by Bill Maher's audience reactions than I am with Greg Buttfeld's.
[00:25:03]  I agree with that, and I'm more offended by Bill Maher just because he should know better, I think, yeah, yeah.
[00:25:08]  Um, maybe I shouldn't expect that at that point, but that isn't to say that Bill Maher is in any way funny, it's that this is so bad, yeah, like it's just not anything, like you can't even.
[00:25:19]  If someone was like, is that a good joke?
[00:25:20]  I'd be like, it's not, we're not even on jokes.
[00:25:22]  Like, we haven't gotten to joke.
[00:25:24]  There's nothing.
[00:25:25]  We're on grammar.
[00:25:26]  And I'm not like, and it's not because I'm a wokest.
[00:25:29]  It's not like that's also why it's not funny.
[00:25:31]  Like, it's just not really funny.
[00:25:32]  Well, you can't even get to that point yet.
[00:25:33]  Someone looks like a woman.
[00:25:34]  Like, it could be, you know, Craig Ferguson used to have a funny bit my dad would love where every time he would put up a picture of Paul McCartney at the, you know, because Paul is old or whatever.
[00:25:46]  Sorry, every time he would talk about Paul McCartney, he would put up a picture of Angela Lansbury.
[00:25:51]  Oh, because there's like a weird resemblance between old Paul McCartney and Angela Lansbury.
[00:25:55]  That's like, and always, yeah, and like it was just a funny recurring bit.
[00:25:59]  And it wasn't that you know, I don't think he was that serious.
[00:26:01]  It wasn't like trying to denigrate Paul McCartney or anything.
[00:26:04]  It's just one of those, like, you know, it's not like the politest of humor.
[00:26:08]  Yeah, I could see being like, yeah, it's a little, but like, you know, it was funny.
[00:26:11]  Like, the visual gag was fun.
[00:26:13]  Yeah, like, and that was funny.
[00:26:16]  So it's possible you can make a joke similar to that.
[00:26:19]  You know, I could see you.
[00:26:21]  Even again, even though I would think it was offensive and probably not tasteful, you could make a funny joke about it.
[00:26:27]  But he can't.

=== Addressing Indigenous Injustice (13:38) ===

[00:26:28]  Yeah.
[00:26:29]  He is incapable.
[00:26:30]  Oh my God.
[00:26:31]  Okay.
[00:26:31]  We are one minute in everybody and we haven't even gotten to Lydia's research.
[00:26:40]  Oh boy.
[00:26:41]  Okay, here we go.
[00:26:43]  And trust me, if there's a broad, Hegseth will find her.
[00:26:48]  Yeah, what?
[00:26:50]  This is also a former colleague of his, right?
[00:26:52]  Because Pete Hegseth used to be on Fox News.
[00:26:54]  Yeah, so he is, I guess, in fairness, he is making a joke about how Hegseth has been married and divorced.
[00:27:01]  A little bit of a womanizer, potentially.
[00:27:02]  Yeah, and had an affair with the whatever.
[00:27:05]  Okay.
[00:27:06]  If there's a broad, Hegseth will find her.
[00:27:09]  Okay.
[00:27:10]  Broad?
[00:27:10]  Nobody?
[00:27:11]  Yeah, I know.
[00:27:12]  What are you trying to be a cool 1950s guy?
[00:27:15]  Nobody uses that.
[00:27:16]  Okay, whatever.
[00:27:17]  Now it's crazy.
[00:27:20]  I wouldn't even come up with O'Donnell's observation as a joke because it's too on the nose.
[00:27:25]  Oh, maybe that's the thing about wokeness.
[00:27:27]  It's so absurd, no one takes it as real until it becomes a campaign platform.
[00:27:32]  And the lunatics go from eating paste in the arts and crafts room to turning the whole world into their asylum.
[00:27:38]  Right now, there are still equity audits and race conscious hiring.
[00:27:42]  There are still states pushing gender affirming care for minors.
[00:27:46]  Sorry.
[00:27:46]  Yeah.
[00:27:47]  Equity audits and race conscious hirings are so absurd that it's like you're in an insane asylum.
[00:27:53]  Yeah.
[00:27:54]  Like it's that absurd to think, hey, maybe don't only hire white people.
[00:27:58]  Like it's that, it's that crazy.
[00:28:00]  Also, I guess because there's likely more than zero, he can say that.
[00:28:04]  Yeah.
[00:28:05]  They've pretty much gotten rid of it.
[00:28:06]  It's a weird time to be leaning on that one.
[00:28:08]  Yeah.
[00:28:08]  Yeah, exactly.
[00:28:09]  It's very weird.
[00:28:10]  Same thing with gender affirming care.
[00:28:11]  Yeah.
[00:28:12]  That's pretty much been wiped off.
[00:28:14]  Yeah.
[00:28:14]  Even in California, it's really, really, really hard to find.
[00:28:17]  Yeah.
[00:28:17]  I mean, like hospital systems are being sued right now by parents of trans kids.
[00:28:21]  And keeping in mind, he didn't even go for the like other thing they usually go for, which is stupid and inaccurate, which is like, oh, you know, chopping the dicks off of whatever.
[00:28:30]  He went for gender affirming care.
[00:28:32]  Yeah.
[00:28:33]  That's like the most broad way of that could just literally be respecting pronouns.
[00:28:38]  That could be like the least, you know, that's not absurd.
[00:28:43]  That's not insane to do.
[00:28:45]  Yeah.
[00:28:46]  Only the people eat paste would be into that.
[00:28:49]  He, look at his face.
[00:28:50]  This guy ate glue.
[00:28:52]  Paste.
[00:28:53]  Why is he using all these old timey words?
[00:28:55]  He is old.
[00:28:57]  He's not that old.
[00:28:58]  He's not that old.
[00:28:59]  I agree.
[00:28:59]  It's part of his cultural signaling.
[00:29:02]  It's like this.
[00:29:03]  Yeah.
[00:29:03]  Anyway, okay.
[00:29:04]  And you got Dems still pushing for reduced police forces as well as for banning ICE.
[00:29:09]  It's worse up north.
[00:29:11]  Worse up north.
[00:29:11]  Listen to this new acronym one of the Canadian members of parliament dropped recently.
[00:29:16]  Okay.
[00:29:16]  When the budget was released, I was shocked to find out that Prime Minister Carney is cutting $7 billion between Indigenous Services Canada. and Crown Indigenous Relations.
[00:29:28]  They provided zero dollars to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA.
[00:29:42]  Don't laugh.
[00:29:44]  She might have fallen asleep on her keyboard, woke up, and said, I can use that.
[00:29:51]  See, okay.
[00:29:53]  That is a crazy acronym.
[00:29:55]  I'll be honest.
[00:29:56]  That's a lot.
[00:29:57]  That's a lot.
[00:29:58]  Okay.
[00:29:58]  There's a reason.
[00:29:59]  Sure.
[00:29:59]  I mean, I'm sure there's a reason.
[00:30:02]  At least he's in the territory of, like, yeah, you could make a joke about it because it seems like a lot.
[00:30:07]  But then he goes, you know what was funny is when we were watching this, I almost laughed.
[00:30:12]  When he was like, Oh, fell asleep on the keyboard.
[00:30:15]  Because for a second, I thought he was making a bit of an absurdist joke.
[00:30:18]  Like she, in that moment, fell asleep on her keyboard, even though she's talking.
[00:30:22]  Like I was like, Oh, that's kind of, oh.
[00:30:24]  Then he says, She woke up and said, I could use that.
[00:30:28]  Why would she do that?
[00:30:29]  That doesn't make sense.
[00:30:30]  Yeah.
[00:30:31]  Why would you do that?
[00:30:32]  She wouldn't look at that and be like, Oh, yeah, I can use that.
[00:30:36]  That's nothing.
[00:30:36]  That doesn't make any sense.
[00:30:38]  Anyway, okay.
[00:30:38]  Hit us with the research.
[00:30:39]  All right.
[00:30:40]  So I got some stuff for you.
[00:30:41]  Canada has a.
[00:30:44]  Historical problem with how it has treated its Indigenous population.
[00:30:49]  Really, really, really bad.
[00:30:51]  So bad, in fact, that the majority of historians have likened Canada's treatment to this group of people as a genocide.
[00:31:00]  And there's a number of different ways in which those things were enacted.
[00:31:04]  One thing was called like scooping, I think, where they would just take kids from Indigenous families and put them in the residential schools where they were being abused.
[00:31:13]  They had experiments that they were conducting, you know, in like the 50s and 60s regarding.
[00:31:19]  Nutrition for Indigenous kids and explicitly like keeping them malnourished if they were in particular groups, denying them dental services as part of this.
[00:31:30]  Just really, really horrible things.
[00:31:31]  And like residential schools in particular, I mean, that went up till the 90s.
[00:31:35]  And so Canada is like needing to reckon with a lot of this stuff.
[00:31:39]  And they're trying to address all the ways that the state, right, that the entire country has wronged this group of people.
[00:31:47]  And so they had a mandate for.
[00:31:50]  An inquiry into how women and girls had been treated specifically from Indigenous groups.
[00:31:56]  And so, this first part of this acronym is Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
[00:32:00]  And the mandate was initially designed to report on all forms of violence that were perpetrated against women and girls of Canada that were Indigenous.
[00:32:09]  But because we're talking about not this concept of gender that's rooted in like European understanding and, you know, white understanding of gender, they found that Indigenous concepts of gender identity were incredibly broad and.
[00:32:24]  Played a role in how women and girls were being treated and harmed and enduring violence.
[00:32:30]  Specifically, that indigenous women and girls that had gone missing or experienced violence often said, like, it was because of my two spirit identity, or it was because of this other element of my identity that started that.
[00:32:44]  And so they realized, like, there really is a connection here.
[00:32:47]  And these communities as a whole were being harmed.
[00:32:50]  And so it's like an intersectionality idea, right?
[00:32:52]  Sure, but I'm going to stop you right there because we've already made his joke be stupid and not make sense.
[00:32:58]  Now, you know, I get it in humor.
[00:32:59]  You can, you can fudge things a bit.
[00:33:01]  And if this were actually a target worth going after, then maybe I could like, if this was like Trump's acronym for whatever, you know, like if this was a punching up, I could see being like, all right.
[00:33:11]  Yeah, sure.
[00:33:12]  But like, what are we talking about?
[00:33:14]  First off, the way he's presenting this.
[00:33:17]  Is as though this is the new LGBTQIA, whatever.
[00:33:21]  Like, as though that's the new one of that.
[00:33:23]  Like, he actually says they've got a new.
[00:33:26]  Yeah, look at Canada.
[00:33:27]  This is their new acronym.
[00:33:28]  This is their new acronym.
[00:33:29]  Well, okay, from what you've said, MMIWG, right?
[00:33:35]  Yes.
[00:33:35]  That's its own acronym.
[00:33:37]  Yes.
[00:33:37]  So, that is one acronym, which is Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
[00:33:42]  Yes.
[00:33:42]  I think.
[00:33:42]  Yes.
[00:33:43]  You said?
[00:33:43]  Okay.
[00:33:44]  Do you have a big problem?
[00:33:45]  Hey, Greg, do you have a big problem?
[00:33:48]  With the fact, I have a problem with the fact that it's such a common thing, they had to have an acronym for it.
[00:33:52]  Like, that's not a thing.
[00:33:54]  That's depressing.
[00:33:55]  But I would take it up with whoever made that happen, not with the acronym lady.
[00:33:59]  Like, that doesn't, that doesn't, when you're talking about a group of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls, and your problem is, that's a lot of letters.
[00:34:08]  Exactly.
[00:34:09]  Shut up, you fucking paste eating asshole.
[00:34:13]  There you go.
[00:34:14]  That's one.
[00:34:15]  Separately from that, we've got the next thing, I think, which you're referencing, which is the two.
[00:34:19]  This next piece, which is the 2SLGBTQ.
[00:34:22]  QQIA.
[00:34:23]  So let's break that apart a little bit.
[00:34:24]  2S, 2Spirit.
[00:34:26]  That's something that I would say in like a lot of American conversations about gender identity and sexual orientation and stuff.
[00:34:33]  I don't feel like that is very mainstream.
[00:34:36]  Like we don't really talk about 2Spirit, but it is very, very important, especially when we're talking about specifically indigenous women and girls.
[00:34:43]  I almost wouldn't want it to become like the mainstream acronym because that would seem like it would mean a lot of white people, you know?
[00:34:51]  Yeah.
[00:34:51]  So it's like, but you're in the context of where this would apply more.
[00:34:56]  Yeah.
[00:34:56]  And then the remaining letters, with the exception of an additional Q, which I haven't necessarily seen before, everything else is pretty much what we would say here lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and then questioning is one that I don't always see added.
[00:35:13]  Intersex, asexual, plus LGBTQIA, is usually what I would say.
[00:35:17]  Yeah, sure.
[00:35:18]  I'm in on that.
[00:35:19]  We've been through this.
[00:35:19]  I feel like we should just, a lot of people are just adopting queer.
[00:35:22]  Yeah.
[00:35:23]  I love it.
[00:35:23]  I mean, frankly, it's simpler.
[00:35:25]  It's hard to get people to say stuff.
[00:35:27]  So maybe go simple.
[00:35:29]  I like it.
[00:35:30]  But, you know, whatever.
[00:35:30]  It doesn't mean that it's crazy to say all those letters.
[00:35:33]  Yeah.
[00:35:33]  And, you know, there are some people who do like a little bit different of an acronym in this same space, all advocating for the same stuff.
[00:35:41]  And there's a little bit of difference there.
[00:35:43]  But what I think is really interesting is as I was reading the coverage on it, there's a senator in Canada who served as part of the inquiry, kind of looking into it.
[00:35:53]  And she said that as they were discussing the acronym that would be used for these.
[00:35:59]  Reports and stuff that there was a debate behind the scenes, and that she personally would not be using it.
[00:36:05]  But if MP Leah Gazin, who is the individual that is on that video that Greg Gutfeld played, wants to say it, just respect it.
[00:36:12]  If she wants to say it the way she wants to say it, who am I to say she's wrong?
[00:36:15]  Yeah.
[00:36:16]  I don't even know why.
[00:36:17]  Yeah.
[00:36:17]  Why was it even a thing?
[00:36:18]  I mean, is it sometimes like a technical thing where it's like you're writing a report, there's going to be jargon of any kind, and there's going to be like, you're going to be writing the same thing a million times.
[00:36:29]  So if you can simplify it, sure.
[00:36:30]  Like, why is this even a problem?
[00:36:31]  Yeah, there's an Indigenous chief out of Manitoba that said she calls it MMIW, just for brevity, where the I, it says the I to me represented all Indigenous women and the W to me represented the female experience, whatever that is.
[00:36:46]  But there's conversations about like, yeah, we might adapt it and change it and stuff and see what sticks.
[00:36:51]  But no one is fighting about what that acronym is.
[00:36:54]  No one's fighting.
[00:36:55]  You say this or something.
[00:36:56]  No one's, it's just, yeah, it's just nothing.
[00:36:58]  Quote, I think she and others are doing what they see as best and anyone who criticizes it clearly doesn't understand the issue.
[00:37:04]  Yeah, this is none of his or frankly my business.
[00:37:07]  Like, they're communicating what they need to communicate to whom they need to communicate it.
[00:37:12]  And this is the way they want to do it.
[00:37:14]  And it's not, there's not, it's not even crazy.
[00:37:16]  It's not like there's not even no sense in which this is really worthy of criticism.
[00:37:20]  Yeah.
[00:37:21]  It's frustrating too because, you know, you get this clip out there and it's circulated on Twitter, of course.
[00:37:26]  And I think it's up to like 94 million views, which, you know, again, you hovered for a second as you scrolled.
[00:37:33]  Elon Musk retweeted it and said, Canada is cooked.
[00:37:36]  Oh, yeah.
[00:37:37]  Ted Cruz retweeted it and said the mental institutions were closed far too quickly.
[00:37:42]  Mm hmm.
[00:37:43]  Because someone said some letters, guys.
[00:37:45]  Fucking crybabies.
[00:37:46]  Fuck you.
[00:37:47]  I'm so sick of it.
[00:37:48]  And I think what is like so sad about that too is it's we, you're losing sight of what the issue is that she was speaking about there because you were focused so much on this acronym that that becomes the conversation instead of seeing, oh, Canada as a country is basically threatening to sunset billions of dollars in funding for efforts to right the wrongs that they have done.
[00:38:14]  To these groups, and you know, basically, sunset services for indigenous populations as a result.
[00:38:20]  Sunset, you know, these various programs and research and studies that they were trying to do to make up for the 150 years that people have been harmed and to address the ongoing issues of indigenous women being killed or taken human trafficking, right?
[00:38:42]  Yeah, all coming back.
[00:38:42]  And so, that's really, really frustrating.
[00:38:44]  I will say that from what I've seen from The members of the government in Canada that are part of this effort don't really care that people are making fun of the acronym or anything like that.
[00:38:54]  They're like, no, our focus is remaining on the fact that this money is being threatened or that it's making it feel like if the tribes don't do exactly what the Canadian government wants them to do, that they will continue to risk losing funding and sort of the relationship between tribes and the state in that way.
[00:39:11]  So, you know, it's a serious conversation that they're having and they're not getting deterred by the nonsense language.
[00:39:17]  That Gottfeld decides to jump on, or Elon Musk, you know, one of the richest men in the world, decides that is worthy of talking about.
[00:39:26]  That's the point, though.
[00:39:27]  That's the whole.
[00:39:27]  Yeah, it is.
[00:39:28]  In a broad, broadly speaking, obviously, I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but like the point is to not have to contend with that.
[00:39:35]  You know, that's the goal.
[00:39:37]  The goal is to not have to ever deal with anything that might be uncomfortable in any way for these people, or deal with anything that might be a criticism of them, or anything that might be someone needing to change their behavior.
[00:39:49]  The goal is to seize on words and language games and bullshit to be able to just ignore it.
[00:39:56]  And it's anti intellectual, stupid.
[00:39:58]  You could almost say it's something the paste eating kid in the back of the class would do.
[00:40:03]  Because Gutfeld, I guarantee, probably not a good student.
[00:40:06]  I shouldn't guarantee that.

=== Pathetic Body Shaming (09:34) ===

[00:40:07]  Sometimes they are and they're just evil.
[00:40:09]  But yeah, anti intellectual.
[00:40:16]  Lady, can you say that again so I can write it down?
[00:40:20]  M-M-I-W-G-2-S-L-G-B-T-Q-Q-I-A.
[00:40:25]  I knew that sounded familiar.
[00:40:27]  Now I gotta change my password to Pornhub.
[00:40:31]  So why is- What?
[00:40:34]  Yeah, I don't know.
[00:40:36]  Now I gotta change my password to Pornhub.
[00:40:39]  Why?
[00:40:40]  It's so bad.
[00:40:41]  It's just so fucking low effort.
[00:40:43]  Look, I guess the password thing is like, okay, fine.
[00:40:47]  That's kind of a thing.
[00:40:48]  Then the Pornhub part is just to try to evoke a laugh out of that topic because there's no logical connection.
[00:40:55]  So it's like, why would you specifically have that as your Pornhub password?
[00:41:00]  There's just nothing.
[00:41:01]  There's nothing here.
[00:41:02]  This is all stupid.
[00:41:04]  God, fuck you.
[00:41:05]  Okay, here we go.
[00:41:06]  This freaking guy.
[00:41:07]  It's that Canadian acronym from that creep so horrible because it's front loaded with people who experience actual suffering, missing or dead girls, but then it's strapped to a train of imposters.
[00:41:17]  You'd almost say it was two different acronyms stolen valor, but reworked as stolen fatherhood.
[00:41:22]  It's far worse in schools.
[00:41:24]  Listen to this Canadian professor.
[00:41:27]  I have worked with four and five year olds in schools who have genders that their parents don't want them to have.
[00:41:34]  Parents' rights have suddenly been weaponized against trans and non binary and two spirit youth.
[00:41:39]  I want us to get really comfortable with challenging right wing Christian patriarchy.
[00:41:44]  I want to say things like you can do work around sexual orientation and gender diversity with children of all ages.
[00:41:52]  And so I want us to think about these conversations in kindergarten.
[00:41:57]  Okay.
[00:41:58]  The person speaking, listeners, is overweight.
[00:42:01]  Yes.
[00:42:03]  Okay.
[00:42:04]  You ready?
[00:42:05]  Ready for the comedy?
[00:42:07]  Guys, you ready for comedy?
[00:42:10]  You want some comedy?
[00:42:11]  Ready for laughs?
[00:42:14]  Of course, you do, you sick, fat.
[00:42:21]  Repulsive.
[00:42:23]  Repulsive.
[00:42:25]  Repulsive piece of.
[00:42:28]  I'm sorry, censors, but I'm sorry.
[00:42:30]  You know, I'd ask what they're putting in the water in Canada, but clearly it's ice cream.
[00:42:36]  When it should be Thorazine.
[00:42:39]  Let's not forget the hot trend in Canadian healthcare.
[00:42:44]  Disgusting.
[00:42:47]  Just vile.
[00:42:48]  Yeah.
[00:42:50]  Like what just fundamentally fuck you beyond anything else, politics aside, even just fuck you.
[00:43:01]  Nobody, if imagine if he did this in public, I mean, he's at his little show.
[00:43:06]  There's a there's an audience.
[00:43:07]  Yeah.
[00:43:08]  Does he think people on the right aren't overweight?
[00:43:10]  Do you think there's nobody in MAGA town?
[00:43:12]  It's got a little bit of a weight problem.
[00:43:15]  You think that's a joke that all all you know, it's just it's there's so much wrong with it.
[00:43:20]  Obviously, but like fundamentally just fuck you, you miserable fucking gargoyle, you fucking asshole.
[00:43:28]  Like it's, it's just, he doesn't even have anything to say.
[00:43:32]  No, like listen to the, I mean, you obviously, we can assume he's also going to be mad about a teacher or whoever that is potentially being at all concerned with like parents who are obviously bigots and aren't going to be open to whatever the kids are doing.
[00:43:46]  You know, that's a concern.
[00:43:47]  That's something you should be concerned with.
[00:43:49]  It's not crazy to be concerned about it.
[00:43:51]  He can't even muster like anything related to that.
[00:43:54]  He doesn't even, I don't want to play it again, but like, because it's just awful.
[00:43:59]  I'll look back at the transcript.
[00:44:00]  Here's the things that aren't insults about this person's body.
[00:44:05]  Of course you do.
[00:44:08]  Is that it?
[00:44:09]  Oh my God.
[00:44:09]  I was waiting for more.
[00:44:10]  Of course you do.
[00:44:12]  That's the only response.
[00:44:14]  And you could argue, actually, that is still part of the body shaming joke.
[00:44:18]  Right.
[00:44:18]  Because it's, of course you do, you fat person, essentially.
[00:44:21]  Yeah.
[00:44:21]  So, I mean, you could almost argue there's no part of it.
[00:44:25]  That is a response to what that person, who's probably a very caring person who's dealing with children, you know, and trying to keep them safe.
[00:44:32]  No part of his response bears any resemblance to anything like a response to that in any way.
[00:44:39]  It's just, it's pathetic.
[00:44:41]  Yeah.
[00:44:41]  What if you're at a party?
[00:44:42]  I mean, imagine him at a party.
[00:44:44]  He's going on TV on this highest rated whatever show, you know, that apparently 3 million people watch or whatever.
[00:44:50]  It's got those numbers.
[00:44:51]  I guarantee you, he would not do this at a gathering of people.
[00:44:55]  Like an actual human, these people know what they're doing is wrong and they think it's so naughty and they love it.
[00:45:01]  They love that they can do whatever and they can trigger the libs or whatever by being, but the thing you're doing is not something you would even do in your own company, like your own asshole company.
[00:45:12]  I guarantee it.
[00:45:13]  Yeah.
[00:45:13]  I just, I was absolutely shocked.
[00:45:15]  We're actually, we watched this and we were actually like stunned.
[00:45:18]  I couldn't even, yeah.
[00:45:19]  Like, how do you react to that?
[00:45:20]  What do you even say?
[00:45:21]  Like, it's, we've gotten to the point where it's just, no, you're fat, to put it lightly.
[00:45:26]  It's just insults overweight.
[00:45:27]  Yeah.
[00:45:28]  And that's it.
[00:45:28]  Like for a while, he just goes on.
[00:45:31]  That takes, looking at the timing, I mean, that takes like 15 seconds.
[00:45:35]  It's also just, yeah, just some of the most vile things that you can say about another human.
[00:45:40]  Like the number of times that he calls that person repulsive really is so awful.
[00:45:46]  It's despicable.
[00:45:47]  Yeah, it's just beneath contempt.
[00:45:49]  It's just, I can't even, we can't be entertaining this.
[00:45:54]  We can't be allowing this.
[00:45:56]  Yeah.
[00:45:56]  You know, it's one thing, you know, again, I'm not a roastie.
[00:46:00]  Comedy guy, I don't really like it.
[00:46:01]  It's one thing if you were in a roast environment or something, because you know, again, inevitably, these people always try to make it about free speech or something.
[00:46:09]  No one's saying you couldn't ever make a joke about weight.
[00:46:12]  I, you know, I try not to because I don't think it, you know, it's like I've grown to where I do my best to try not to do too much joking about anyone's appearance, you know, and some sometimes you slip up, but you know, I think I've done a pretty good job recently.
[00:46:25]  Like it's not, it's not worth it.
[00:46:27]  Like there's no, because it's always going to be, yes, the person you're focusing on.
[00:46:31]  Yeah, the insult's going to hit them, but it also hits a bunch of bystanders.
[00:46:34]  And that's just not fun.
[00:46:35]  Like, you know, and it's something that is a mistake that I've certainly made in the past, but it's not something I want to intentionally try to do now.
[00:46:41]  Yeah.
[00:46:41]  But that isn't to say there's no possibility that someone could make a weight joke.
[00:46:46]  Nobody's going to outlaw that.
[00:46:47]  You know, like you're still allowed to make the fucking jokes.
[00:46:49]  But this is just something else entirely.
[00:46:52]  This is sick.
[00:46:52]  Like, this is like he loses his mind.
[00:46:55]  Yeah.
[00:46:55]  Yeah.
[00:46:56]  It really does feel like he flies off the deep end with this.
[00:47:00]  And it's so interesting, too.
[00:47:01]  So, because I was, Reading his interview with the New York Times from last year, and he's like, Well, I, you know, I'll call people fat because they call me Hitler, but I don't, you know, yeah.
[00:47:11]  And I was like, Well, this person didn't call you Hitler.
[00:47:14]  No, just anyone probably called him Hitler.
[00:47:16]  Yeah, you understand.
[00:47:17]  Someone has called him Hitler.
[00:47:18]  So now I get to say whatever I want.
[00:47:20]  If anyone's ever said anything mean to me or that I think is unreasonable, I can say anything I want to literally anyone and it's justified.
[00:47:27]  That's how it works.
[00:47:28]  That cannot be the society that we live in.
[00:47:30]  Yeah, it really can't.
[00:47:31]  Yeah.
[00:47:31]  It's just, it's just, I mean, it's just pathetic.
[00:47:34]  Like, this is just truly, truly pathetic.
[00:47:37]  It's almost like you can't even be mad.
[00:47:39]  Like, he needs help.
[00:47:40]  You know, like, this is just like truly, there's something wrong with you.
[00:47:43]  Screw this.
[00:47:44]  It's just, it's just disgusting.
[00:47:46]  I can't even, I'm still shocked, like, genuinely shocked by that.
[00:47:50]  Most watched late night fucking thing, guys.
[00:47:55]  This is the world we've allowed.
[00:47:57]  I don't think it's our fault.
[00:47:58]  I think there's a lot of things.
[00:47:59]  There's a lot of wealth that's gone into and buying misinformation, constant, constant fucking demonization of people that's led to it.
[00:48:06]  But we just, enough.
[00:48:07]  We can't do it.
[00:48:08]  Yeah.
[00:48:08]  Like, just, I just keep thinking about it.
[00:48:10]  It's like, is his life better because he can say that kind of thing about another person?
[00:48:15]  Like, what's the freaking point?
[00:48:16]  And then I think about like Artemis II and this like shared humanity and these astronauts that went out into space and they're like, they look down at the planet and they're like, You know, it kind of reaffirms your idea of humanity and what it should be.
[00:48:30]  And then we experience Greg Gutfeld.
[00:48:32]  And it's just the stark contrast between those two things is just mind boggling to me.
[00:48:39]  And I don't want this to be the way it is.
[00:48:42]  And there is a marked difference, too.
[00:48:45]  Cause like my parents obviously weren't super cool.
[00:48:48]  My parents would probably joke about someone's weight, but even them, they would never, like even just again, people who now we definitely look.
[00:48:56]  Back on, and like, well, they were definitely wrong.
[00:48:58]  Don't get me wrong, my parents were wrong for many reasons, but even if you're like, oh, you know, my old family member, you know, would probably make a joke about someone's weight, even they would never do this.
[00:49:10]  Even my parents would know that, like, okay, but it's really fundamentally cruel to like publicly do that to somebody.
[00:49:17]  Like, you know, I just am trying to make the point that like nobody's perfect.
[00:49:20]  Like, that's the thing is like, I think in a lot of what this reactionary reaction is, is to a perception that the wokest are demanding perfection from everybody.
[00:49:31]  And I guess I don't speak for all the wokus, of course, or I maybe any of them.
[00:49:36]  But for me, I'm not demanding perfection from anybody, but there's common decency.

=== Deserving a Punch in the Face (03:52) ===

[00:49:42]  And there's this is just a new level.
[00:49:44]  I mean, this is just you could you could be a fat phobic person, which I think is very wrong.
[00:49:49]  You could be a fat phobic person and still recognize that, like, okay, but that's cruel.
[00:49:53]  What he's like, that's awful.
[00:49:55]  What he's doing, you know, like that's just that's just evil.
[00:49:57]  Like it's just truly evil.
[00:49:59]  And I'm sorry to say, because you didn't watch the whole clip.
[00:50:02]  It gets worse.
[00:50:02]  Oh my God.
[00:50:03]  There's more.
[00:50:04]  He and a panelist go into it in disgusting ways.
[00:50:08]  Disgusting towards the end.
[00:50:10]  I don't even know if we should play any of that.
[00:50:12]  Well, yeah, we'll see how far we get.
[00:50:14]  Oh my God.
[00:50:14]  It's already, wow.
[00:50:15]  We're already like out of time.
[00:50:17]  We got nowhere in this.
[00:50:19]  Jesus.
[00:50:19]  I know.
[00:50:19]  And I didn't even get to talk about the panel that that professor was speaking at and some of the great clips from there.
[00:50:24]  I think we might have to wait till next time.
[00:50:26]  Honestly, we did not plan this to go.
[00:50:28]  Like, we're already, how did we already go an hour?
[00:50:32]  I feel like I barely started.
[00:50:33]  Yeah.
[00:50:34]  What the fuck?
[00:50:35]  Yeah, I mean, how many minutes are we in this thing?
[00:50:37]  Four.
[00:50:39]  We are four minutes in.
[00:50:40]  Should we play a little more or what?
[00:50:42]  Do we need to sign out?
[00:50:43]  I think we got to sign out because I don't want to move on without being able to address this panel.
[00:50:47]  That's a good point.
[00:50:48]  Yeah.
[00:50:48]  Well, fuck.
[00:50:49]  Okay.
[00:50:49]  Well, thank you for the debunks.
[00:50:51]  And there's more debunks to come.
[00:50:53]  We did not intend this to be more than one part, but I mean, that's just truly flabbergasting.
[00:51:00]  Can you be flabbergasting?
[00:51:01]  It can, right?
[00:51:01]  Yeah.
[00:51:01]  Yeah.
[00:51:02]  Why not?
[00:51:02]  It's truly, I did not know this amount of time because I'm just so distracted.
[00:51:06]  disgusted and enraged that I went into a fugue state.
[00:51:09]  I don't, I can't believe I didn't mess up, right?
[00:51:12]  We have gone like, okay.
[00:51:14]  Well, folks, we mentioned it, I think, was it on this show or GG?
[00:51:18]  We mentioned we're a regular show.
[00:51:21]  Okay.
[00:51:22]  Yeah.
[00:51:22]  And part of that is that we have the time we've budgeted to be able to get these out regularly.
[00:51:27]  And I certainly.
[00:51:28]  No more.
[00:51:28]  I certainly anticipated.
[00:51:30]  Yeah, exactly.
[00:51:30]  It's really hard.
[00:51:31]  We are doing the schedule, but it does mean that it's a tight schedule.
[00:51:34]  We've gone the time we had allotted for this.
[00:51:36]  We meant to get to more, but we got a couple good debunks from Lydia and there's more to come.
[00:51:40]  But fuck this fucking guy in his dumb fucking face.
[00:51:43]  Piece of shit.
[00:51:44]  I just fuck off, man.
[00:51:46]  Like, truly, someone should punch this guy in the face.
[00:51:50]  Like, really.
[00:51:51]  I mean, It's antisocial behavior.
[00:51:54]  Like, this is just the kind of thing that does deserve a punch in the face.
[00:51:58]  I'm not saying anyone should do it, but it should be done.
[00:52:02]  And it's deserving of it.
[00:52:03]  Yeah, like, he deserves to be punched in the face.
[00:52:06]  I'm not saying anyone should, because I don't know anyone who deserves to punch him in the face.
[00:52:10]  You know, it's like, who is anyone to dole out judgment?
[00:52:13]  But if he got punched in the face, it would be warranted.
[00:52:16]  Yes, I 100% agree.
[00:52:18]  And that's Lydia.
[00:52:19]  I don't like violence at all or conflict.
[00:52:21]  It's just, you need to be reminded.
[00:52:24]  That there is such a thing as a fucking society, you know?
[00:52:27]  You've gotten too confident, you know, in your whole life.
[00:52:30]  When you go to this level of like horrific body shaming insults, you got to be ready to put up with what that would give you in public, in person, you know?
[00:52:40]  Yeah, go ahead and say it out loud in public and see what people do.
[00:52:43]  Find someone, find an overweight dude to say that to.
[00:52:45]  Yeah.
[00:52:45]  You know, just go for it, go ahead.
[00:52:47]  Just see.
[00:52:47]  You're so tough.
[00:52:48]  You're such a tough fucking guy over there with your things you can say that you're just not worried about triggering anybody.
[00:52:53]  Go try, just say it in public, you know?
[00:52:56]  Without security, yeah, just do it, see what happens.
[00:52:58]  Yeah, why not?
[00:52:59]  Just cowards, all of them, assholes.
[00:53:02]  Got him mad.
[00:53:03]  This is the worst thing I've seen in a long time.
[00:53:05]  Yeah, part two is gonna get pretty gross too because they're gonna bring in the rest of the panel.
[00:53:10]  And yeah, yeah, wow, all right, folks.
[00:53:12]  Well, yeah, we'll get that out.
[00:53:14]  Uh, maybe we can get it out early for patrons, we'll shoot for it, but uh, yeah, the schedule is the schedule now.
[00:53:20]  Normally, at the end of the month, you'd be getting these right away, all crammed at the end of the month, but you know, there's trade offs.
[00:53:24]  I think the regular schedule is good, it's definitely gonna be better for everybody, I think, but you know.
[00:53:29]  Not like there isn't some trade off to it.
[00:53:32]  I know.
[00:53:32]  People who like their binging.
[00:53:34]  They like their binging.

=== Saying It Out Loud Publicly (01:13) ===

[00:53:35]  Yeah.
[00:53:35]  That's the trade off.
[00:53:35]  All right.
[00:53:36]  Thanks so much, Wokies.
[00:53:37]  We appreciate you.
[00:53:38]  Punch your local buttfeld.
[00:53:41]  Everyone punch their local buttfeld.
[00:53:43]  I'm making merch.
[00:53:46]  I'm writing that down right now.
[00:53:47]  Punch your local buttfeld.
[00:53:48]  Punch your local buttfeld.
[00:53:50]  Exactly.
[00:53:51]  And I could do like a little silhouette of his face so then we know it's Greg Gutfeld, but it says buttfeld.
[00:53:56]  What a fucking loser.
[00:53:58]  Yes.
[00:53:58]  Thanks for listening, everyone.
[00:53:59]  We'll see you soon.
[00:54:22]  That's right, Greg Butfeld.
[00:54:25]  I feel like you could just jump off a bridge and fucking die.
[00:54:28]  That's what I feel like you could do if you were Greg Buttfeld, maybe.
[00:54:32]  So you can't quite say about Chris Hayes that Pete knew the pilot was a male.
[00:54:39]  You know, honestly, like, not that Rob Schneider is funny.
[00:54:43]  Guys, you ready for comedy?
[00:54:45]  You want some comedy?
[00:54:47]  Ready for laughs?
