Thomas Smith and Lydia dissect Greg Gutfeld's "comedy," exposing factual errors like claiming 8 million New Yorkers stayed home despite a 5.1 million registered voter pool, alongside racist jokes targeting Zohran Mamdani. They condemn Gutfeld for misrepresenting Dr. Jay Wallace Skelton's research on parental rights and mocking Tom Shaloub's low-effort humor regarding LGBTQ+ individuals. By contrasting Gutfeld's hate-fueled tactics with Skelton's advocacy for queer youth, the hosts argue that such content relies on stoking division rather than engaging in genuine discourse, ultimately dismissing opposing viewpoints as "brain damaged" by race and gender propaganda.

But we got to come back to it because I would like to actually close out some of the things that we were talking about last time.
You mean close out the video that we got to the additional 10 minutes and 58 seconds of out of uh 14 minutes?
That would be the one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's so much more too.
I'm sure we have some more debunks and some more buttfeld.
Man, I just, I hope that no one I know watches this.
You know what I mean?
Like, I don't know.
I don't know.
I got conservative relatives.
I hope they don't watch this.
It's just like disgusting.
And I know that, like, often the whole point is to trigger the libs or whatever, but it's also just evil.
Like, I'm just disgusted by him.
It's not like, oh, I'm so offended at whatever.
It's like, yeah, this is what you are and what you value.
It's just like sad and gross.
You get one life.
Right.
And like, that's what you want to spend your life doing.
All you're going to do is be a piece of shit for rich people.
He's rich by now.
Especially if you are religious at all.
Like, these are actions that you think Jesus would have wanted me to shout insults at an overweight person on TV.
That's what Jesus did.
I don't know then.
Yeah.
It's just unbelievable.
It's incongruous to what a good life should be.
They've already heard us say that a million times, but I just can't get over it.
But there's more.
It's worse.
If you thought, It couldn't get worse.
It does.
And what's funny is the video is gutfeld.
This just keeps getting worse.
But what he means is like, I don't know, wokeism or some crap.
But it really is inaccurate.
It almost could be like us posting the video.
Yeah.
It just keeps getting worse, everyone.
Yeah.
So that's what we're going to do today.
We're going to see how far we can get.
I'm not doing another episode on this.
So we'll see what it is, is what it is for now.
We'll see if we have to come back to it someday.
But all right.
Thanks so much for listening and supporting patreon.comslash where there's woke.
If you'd like to support our punching of buttfelds, And get your Punch Your Local Buttfeld merch.
Punch Your Local Buttfeld.
Patreon.com slash where there's woke.
We'll take an annoying break and then be back.
All right, well.
Okay, I don't want you to press play yet.
Okay, I won't press play yet.
Because where we left off was our commentary about how he can't engage in the actual arguments from this professor.
He just had to go into straight insults.
And I wanted to take the time to talk about those comments from the panel, what the panel was.
Provide additional context around those clips that his team put together, and then we can go from there.
But I really do want to give time to what was being discussed because I think there's some really, really, really great insightful stuff.
Can you give that then, like just that part before he talks to remind people what it was?
Sure, sure.
I have worked with four and five year olds in schools who have genders that their parents don't want them to have.
Parents' rights have suddenly been weaponized against trans and non binary and two spirit youth.
I want us to get really comfortable with challenging right wing Christian patriarchy.
I want to say things like, you can do work around sexual orientation and gender diversity with children of all ages.
And so I want us to think about these conversations in kindergarten.
I mean, obviously heavily edited and selective already.
Those are five clips from what was a 90 minute panel where this professor was one of the panel members.
Yes.
There were three panel members and the moderator.
Their name is Dr. Jay Wallace Skelton.
And apologies, I used.
They, as shorthand for pronouns, but this professor prefers just to be referred to by J. Wallace Skelton or Dr. Skelton.
So, this panel was called Mobilizing Fear and Misinformation Anti SOGI, which stands for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, and Parental Rights.
And the mission, the sort of coalescing theme of this panel, was the ways in which inaccurate and harmful messaging can be resisted and showcase how prioritizing parental rights within schools, communities, and our society. comes at the cost of the rights and well being of queer and trans youth.
I think that's a perfectly reasonable topic for discussion.
Really, really important.
Skelton's perspective on this is really informed by some stuff that was happening in Saskatchewan.
Skelton is a University of Regina professor.
And in Saskatchewan, that's where that's located, they had a bill that would disallow students from changing their name or pronouns with their school if they were under 16.
So basically putting an age requirement on any sort of Differing gender expression, pronoun decisions, names.
So, a solution in search of a problem that doesn't exist.
Right, right.
So, what I want to do is play Skelton's thoughts that are with these clips that Gutfeld's team spliced together, because I think there's some really insightful stuff there.
This first one is the context surrounding that first clip I have worked with four and five year olds in schools who have genders that their parents don't want them to have.
I want to sort of take it from a teacher's perspective, because I hear from teachers.
Who are really worried about parents who might have complaints, who might feel like they're not getting enough information.
And one of the things that I found really valuable in helping parents and teachers navigate this is if we can recognize that both the teacher and the parent have the child's best interest as their guiding motivation, that common ground makes it easier to listen to each other.
They may have different understandings about what's in the child's best interest, but a belief that both adults or both sets of adults are there to create a caring, nurturing environment for the child.
Is a really helpful starting place for those conversations.
I also would say, and I say this as a parent and as an educator, having children is a process of letting go.
I say that to myself all the time.
It's a process of letting go because you're making room for children to be their own people.
I have worked with four and five year olds in schools who have genders that their parents don't want them to have.
And I've seen educators make room for those in brilliant, brilliant ways.
And so I think about a kindergarten graduation and the teacher showing up for the photographs and the photographer saying, I've got roses for the girls and ties for the boys.
And the teacher thinking, this is not going to work well.
And spinning around to the class and saying, Class, there's ties and roses.
What's going to make you feel most fancy?
That's the kind of thing that teachers are doing to create gender inclusive classrooms.
And so when a child comes home with a picture that doesn't look like the parents expected, the parents can come back and say what happened and the teacher can say completely honestly, I gave the children the choice of what's going to make them feel most fancy.
Because our job is to celebrate children and to help them feel safe.
Creating an understanding that we're both working from the child's best interest helps those conversations happen and makes room to learn and listen to each other in it.
First thing to note, this is two years old.
Parents' Rights Weaponized Against Youth00:14:36
Yes.
And it's something that I'm sure virtually no one really saw.
It's hard to know because it seems like there's at least one comment that's more recent, probably from this.
That's kind of funny.
There's four total comments.
Four total comments, 1,471 views total.
Yeah.
And two of the comments are from the time that are just like normal.
The other one is from 12 days ago, which is probably roughly now as we're talking sometime after the Buttfeld segment.
And that's obviously not a very friendly comment.
But that's it.
The main thing, folks, the main thing, as I keep saying, if you're ever trying to talk to a normie or something, and I think we need to try to do this, and we need to try to, if we can, spread better ideas.
And what we're trying to do here is dissect the bad ideas and kind of inoculate against them.
Mostly the main thing should be who gives a shit.
Like that's the main thing in terms of the public.
Because a lot of people, let's be honest, are not going to really understand or, Be all that cool with a professor who doesn't want any pronouns and wants lowercase letters and is talking about this.
Like they're probably on average not going to be like that cool with this professor.
But the most important thing to recognize is that this is not anything.
Like this is the point of it even being seen or heard by anyone except the couple of people who are actually interested in this for what it is, who are there and who are, you know, whatever it is.
The point is propaganda and stirring up hate.
And I would love someone to answer me, why do I care about a kindergarten class in Canada where they said you can pick a rose or a bow tie or whatever it was?
A tie.
Just stop everything else.
We got a stupid war in Iran.
We're killing people.
There's a genocide in Israel, you know, with all that stuff.
But tell me why.
Just tell me why.
Why I should care.
By the way, let me modify that.
Why should I care about a meeting in which someone said that two years ago?
In which someone mentioned. that in a kindergarten class, a good way to maybe let children, and by the way, even if you want to take the worst examples in quotes, I'll say worst, but like, I always say this, there's people who suck in every movement.
I'm not saying this person does, but I'm saying no matter what side of any issue you're on, if the other side wants to, they can find the worst examples and plaster them everywhere to make that seem like that's who the cause is.
That happens with every side of every argument.
So seeing someone you don't like, if this person happens to be someone you don't like or someone doesn't like, That doesn't disqualify an entire side of an argument for one, and for two, even if this is what he can come up with as like the worst examples of the left, which is something from two years ago in Canada, they're still just saying, Let's let the kids be the kids.
They're not saying we need to force no gender, we need to force, you know, they're not saying that they're talking about a lovely story in which a teacher had the thought ahead of time when someone else, by the way, this is all responsive, too.
Yeah, this is in response to someone else coming in the classroom and.
Probably innocently enough, but like kind of triggering a gender binary thing that doesn't really need to exist for any reason.
Right.
And I don't know that.
They probably had perfectly fine motives, but like, and let's assume they do, they're just innocently like, oh, boys have this, girls have this.
That's someone bringing that into a classroom of kids.
And this person is discussing the response to that, which is lovely, which is, hey, kids, pick whichever one you want.
That couldn't be less of a big deal.
It seems like it's actively the right thing to do, in my opinion.
Mm hmm.
So this entire thing, this entire thing is over a meeting from two years ago in which a person said that.
I wonder why.
Well, it's because the person is overweight and can trigger disgust emotions in MAGA, in conservatives.
Yep.
And then they can continue to turn those disgust emotions into hatred and turn off their critical faculties and just be a mob, a blind mob of hate that will do anything or vote for anything as long as it triggers the lips.
How we ended up on this thing from two years ago and talking about Jay Wallace Skelton specifically, from what I can tell, I don't know exactly why this happened, but.
Two days before this episode, coverage relating to Skelton kind of blew up on Twitter and everyone piled on to make fun of Dr. Skelton.
There were awful, awful things, you know, saying similar things to like Greg Gutfell, what he says in this episode, people misgendering Skelton a lot, people saying sickos, just horrible, horrible things.
And it looks like that's probably the origin of this.
Well, yeah, I mean, there's an army of propagandists who are always trying to find the bad examples to.
Tar a movement with.
Right, exactly.
In their mind.
I don't even know that this doesn't seem like a particularly bad example of anyone to me.
I'm just saying stuff that will resonate for them.
Yeah.
And it's just everything that I heard in that clip, I just thought was really lovely.
I thought it was a really nice example.
And I think the other really, really important thing that I don't understand how any parent could disagree with is that can we go into a space with And maybe it's not always 100% right, but can we at least have the starting point that the teacher and the parent are both interested in what's best for the child?
Like that should be our primary objective, regardless if you're a teacher or a parent, right?
That we are committed to doing what's best for our kid and that we're in this together, that we can be a team.
And we might disagree about what that means, but that's okay.
And we can have those conversations.
And I feel like that's such a reasonable way of approaching all of this that often just gets lost.
That it's my way or the highway when you talk about parental rights.
And it's specific to gender identity, oftentimes.
Okay, the second clip that they play is parents' rights have suddenly been weaponized against trans and non-binary.
That's just fucking true.
You know that.
Against trans and non-binary and two-spirit youth.
But I wanna highlight some of the additional information here because I think it's interesting the stuff around that got cut off.
I am working on two projects at the moment, one of which has been interviewing parents who see themselves as advocates for their two-spirit, trans, and non-binary young people.
Thinking about how do we resource parents, how do we support parents, how do we share their success stories.
It's been a really interesting moment to do this in a conversation where parents' rights have suddenly been weaponized against trans and non binary and two spirit youth.
And to say we've done interviews with 70 parents across Canada whose rights are not being respected as parents and who see their rights as parents as secondary to their children's rights.
And how do we ensure that children's rights are being respected?
Because they're real and present and there and not a language of parental rights.
So I thought that was interesting because the thing that they have a problem with is sort of in relation to research that Skelton is doing regarding parents who are supportive and advocating for their kids' rights to pursue whatever identity feels right to them and creating resources to help those parents.
So it's like, it's almost that they're taking the flip side of it and saying, like, that.
Parents are being disrespected and disregarded.
Where Skelton is saying, No, no, no, no.
My research is focused on creating resources to help those parents who want to be supportive and advocate for their kids and help them through this process and be aligned with them with their identity.
It's a small difference, but it is so interesting.
Yeah, I mean, it's a really interesting area of philosophy and law that if we still had such a thing as a public conversation that was worth anything, I mean, that was worth anything, I'd be fascinated to have discussions or to hear debates.
Even with people who are very conservative, if it was an actual conversation of like, I think I have the right to dictate everything about my kid until, you know, such and such age.
And then someone else being like, well, okay, let's examine that because certainly there's got to be a line, right?
If you are beating your kid, you don't have the right to beat your kid.
The kid has rights outside of you.
Yep.
Right?
You don't have the right to kill your kid.
Right.
Then you try to find the lines of that.
It was like an interesting philosophical discussion because, like, you do, as a parent, you do have certain rights when your kids are not old enough to make a lot of decisions.
And as they get older, I think that kind of changes.
And it, Might vary in Canada versus the US.
It might vary philosophically versus legally, you know, but there comes a certain age where it's like, well, as they get older and older, they're going to have more rights independent of you.
And it's not like they never do.
I think they always have some amount of rights independent of you, obviously, because they can't be harmed.
You know, they have the right to autonomy in certain ways.
Well, I mean, the right wing would say that those rights exist before they're even born, right?
So it's interesting though, because when you talk about stuff like vaccines and medical procedures and stuff, it's like there is an element where you do have to kind of inflict that on them before a certain age.
Because if you tried to talk your one year old into getting a shot, they're just never going to do it, you know?
And it's like there is a certain extent to which your right as a parent, and it's not even maybe your right.
It's sort of your ability to make the decisions for them.
And responsibility.
Yeah.
Responsibility and your right to be kind of giving consent on their behalf on certain things.
you know, it's a, it could be a tricky area though, you know, that also has lines though, because then you talk about these crazy, you know, Christian people who are like, I'm refusing basic treatments to my kids because I don't believe in it or whatever.
And then from my opinion, I don't think you should be allowed to do that.
I think there should be very little wiggle room in terms of that, because to me, that's just child abuse with a different name.
But it's also, I can imagine some tricky like middle areas there.
I mean, I know there's like blood transfusions with Jehovah's Witnesses and stuff.
And I just don't think you should be allowed to kill your kid because you believe a dumb thing about medicine myself.
But anyway, all that is to say, this person actually sounds really reasonable and nice.
I can't even, I mean, sometimes there's going to be, they find the straw person to try to embarrass the woke movement.
And sometimes I'm like, yeah, that person kind of, I don't really like that person.
Nothing this person has said is at all unreasonable.
It's just their identity and their appearance that people have a problem with, from what I can tell.
I haven't heard anything that they've said that's anything.
Well, let's give this one a try.
Clip three that they did.
I want us to get really comfortable with challenging right wing Christian patriarchy.
Yeah.
Am I going to disagree with that?
Yeah.
But I think it's really important we see this as what it is, which is a signaling we're going to pay attention to Christian values.
And I'm going to circle back to agency for a moment.
If you are a right wing Christian, and particularly if you're a right wing Christian man, you're probably white, and your power comes from being able to say, I know how this works.
Men go out and make money, women stay home and have babies, my children will dress the way they should.
And they will have more babies, and then we'll take over the school board so that we can have what we want happening in schools happen in schools.
That last part really is happening at about that speed.
When you say, actually, people have agency and rights and ability to define themselves and put forward who they are in the world, you're challenging that entire structure of domination, which is why they are interested in saying not possible or making it not possible.
Yeah.
I want us to get really comfortable with challenging right-wing Christian patriarchy, right?
Because it makes more possibilities for more people and to name it what it is.
Yep.
Yeah.
I can't imagine what the problem with that is.
Yeah, 100%.
I mean, and it's again, this person is not saying you are not allowed to be Christian.
Yeah.
You are not allowed to be right wing in your political beliefs.
You can't have gender.
You can't have it.
They're not saying any of that.
They are saying that that as a system is designed to prevent people from going out and making choices for themselves because it threatens that system.
It's an interesting conversation and it's being weaponized in this regard to basically say, like, oh, this is anti Christian.
You know, this person.
Don't like Republicans.
This person doesn't like Christians.
And some of that might be true.
I don't know.
But in context of this conversation, that's not what they're saying.
What is this event?
It's a university in Canada that has this thing called public square.
Yes.
Public square.
Yeah.
And so this isn't like your teachers discussing what they're doing to your kids.
Right.
It's a university debate or not debate, but public square implies that there's going to be different views here and there.
But who knows?
But yeah, it's a panel, it's a discussion.
Yep.
Okay.
Yep.
From two years ago.
From two years ago in Canada with 1,400 views online.
Buttfeld even gives a shit about this.
Right.
Right.
But I know why he does.
I'm not, I'm asking that rhetorically.
And I also mean, this is what I would try to communicate with anyone who cares about this.
Again, it's, it's nothing gets me more frustrated than that time there was the Supreme Court case about the trans athletes or something.
I'm kind of blanking on which one it is.
They're like, well, there was one state where they found one athlete.
Yeah.
Just like, All of that's just that was a perfect microcosm of the fucking nonsense, you know, the brain rot that has taken over MAGA because they're so propagandistic and they just all they do is just stir up hate against another.
And the fact that they were up at the Supreme Court and they're like, well, we found there's one trans athlete who wasn't even really good.
They're just like middle of the pack athlete, you know, having fun.
But don't you remember, it was hundreds of medals have been stolen from athletes because of trans people.
Oh, I remember.
I was 800 and what?
900 medals?
Oh, boy.
The last two clips, they happen close enough together in the panel discussion that I'll be able to just tell you one time stamp.
But these two clips from Gutfeld are the first one.
I want to say things like you can do work around sexual orientation and gender diversity with children of all ages.
And then the last clip here.
And so I want us to think about these conversations in kindergarten, which is always going to be like triggering for parental rights people because they think five year old and you're trying to turn my kid gay or trans at five.
Misinformation and Parent Guides00:06:05
That's not what's happening.
Anyway.
What is the misinformation and how?
What do you say to clear it?
So, I actually want to say that it's not my job to spread the misinformation.
I don't want to give the misinformation airtime.
So, I want to actually give the facts airtime.
I want to say things like, you can do work around sexual orientation and gender diversity with children of all ages.
You can create inclusive, safe classrooms for children of all ages.
And so I want us to think about these conversations in kindergarten.
And the misinformation is what's happening.
And what's actually happening is we're saying, there are many ways to be a girl, there are many ways to be a boy, there are many ways to be both, there are many ways to be neither.
You're going to figure out what's right for you.
And we're going to follow your lead.
That's the messaging.
The messaging is things like your body belongs to you, and you get to make choices about your body, except in moments of safety.
So we're teaching people that they can say no to having other people touch them.
We're teaching people that they need to check in before they touch someone else.
That's again what's happening with young children.
Again, We've talked a lot about how parents and teachers can work together.
That's combating misinformation because we're saying parents and teachers, both functioning from what is in the best interest of the child, working together is what's actually happening.
We are saying that schools want to be safe places and want to also be hubs for families to come together.
And again, I'm going to say this pushes back on the misinformation because it says what's really there.
There's a lot of name calling in the misinformation and a lot of fear mongering.
We've also said things like surgery is not happening for young children because it's not.
And so some of the pushing back on misinformation, and I will say that I had to explain hormonal blockers to a group of people last night because Daniel Smith, who is not a medical doctor, does not understand hormonal blockers.
And so her talking about hormonal blockers as permanent changes gives people.
Incorrect information.
So, to be able to talk about hormonal blockers as putting puberty on pause, it's not actually making changes, it's preventing changes.
And so, I want us to think about a pause as not introducing something new, but as stopping something new from happening.
And with blockers in particular, a technology that was created for children who are not trans, but who are experiencing precocious puberty.
That's why this is available.
Really, the idea that this is creating permanent changes is completely false.
So, the misinformation is really circulating.
The information and the facts, which I'm hearing across the panel, is the pushback.
And I would also say that I think a lot of what we're hearing is research.
It's not just stories and it's not just personal opinions.
These are experiences and understandings of broad groups.
And part of what's happening right now is government saying, we don't need to consult.
We don't need to talk to trans people because, like, gosh, what might they say?
Yeah, this person's really reasonable and calm and explains things in a great manner.
Maybe that's why Buttfeld has to just resort to insulting how they look.
Especially when a group of people that can be so incredibly marginalized and experience so much hate, so much name calling, like Skelton notices here, like we witnessed happen in the Gutfeld clip, to approach that conversation still with like patience and kindness and these things that a lot of those people don't honestly deserve.
Is just remarkable to me.
I think it talks about strength of character and everything.
So, yeah, just really lovely.
Like I said, wanted to make sure we platform some of that conversation because I think it was worthwhile.
Now, the webpage for the event, they were linking to a variety of different resources.
One of those things was a parent's guide.
And I'm always looking for parents' guides because those get manipulated a lot of times in right wing news places and organizations or teachers' guides or things like that.
The link on the webpage no longer works.
So, I had to go to way back.
I think it just got.
Relinked, like the directory changed.
I don't think it got hidden or anything like that based on what I was seeing.
And the parents' guide is identified on this webpage, created in collaboration with educators and parents to address some of the most common questions being asked about SOGI, inclusive education, SOGI again being sexual orientation and gender identity.
I have the PDF.
So if folks want it, happy to send it over to people.
But there's also an education resource guide that seemed really interesting to me.
I think they should do it in the form of songs, and then they could have a group sing those songs, and they could be the SOGI boys.
I like it.
There's also like a parent brochure, which is a high level version of this parent guide.
And it's, you know, it's really just literally a front and back page trifold pamphlet, right?
The threefold, you know what I'm talking about?
Where it says Yeah, I'm familiar with the number of folds.
Does this matter for some reason?
I don't know.
I'm just trying to explain it.
It's not one of your extreme woke fourfold pages.
And it just says, kids have questions, be curious together.
And I just think that's really, really lovely.
And really, at the end of the day, what you would want to do.
Extremely normal stuff, which everyone pretty much would want to do.
Yeah.
I mean, it's so.
This person really comes across well.
Healthcare Trends Explained Simply00:05:41
And it's amazing that they have to dig for something from two years ago in Canada and then just insult how this person looks.
How they look.
That's all they have.
Yep.
Yep.
All they have.
Well, I hate to inform you that I think we got to go back to the main clip.
Hmm.
All right.
Well, maybe we'll take a break first.
Yeah.
Not a commercial break, just me.
I'm just going to take a breather.
Oh, man.
Can we get to the super funny jokes?
Let's see.
We got an amazingly funny joke about I don't know what's in the water.
It's ice cream.
Yeah.
You know, I'd ask what they're putting in the water in Canada, but clearly it's ice cream.
Because one person is fat, that means all of Canada.
Like, you can't even be like, do some effort.
Let's just look.
Who's more?
Okay.
Who's.
More overweight, the US or Canada.
Let's just see.
Let's see the United States.
Wouldn't you know it?
Oh, yeah.
Wouldn't you know it?
35% of American adults are obese compared to 24% of Canadians.
And I don't know what those, you know, who knows how that's rated, but as long as they're the same criteria, then that kind of shows you the comparison.
So, yeah, that's a stupid fucking joke, asshole.
When it should be Thorazine.
Let's not forget the hot trend in Canadian healthcare.
You're falling down and you can't get up, they'll send an ambulance, they'll send a hearse.
Jesus Christ, that's the worst joke delivery in the world.
He's stumbling over it.
It's not even like I kind of wish he would just nail the delivery so that we could be more focused on how bad the joke is.
I'll forgive him his stumbles, even though he's terrible at it and whatever.
Let's not forget the hot trend in Canadian healthcare.
Yep.
Already, it's already so great.
I know it sucks to always reference Louis C.K. Because, uh, that guy, but he did have a great bit about his daughter telling a joke, and it's his daughter, so we'll say it's her, it's great.
Where she's telling a joke, and she's like, Who didn't let the bear into the ballet, or something like you know, some weird joke like that?
And he's like, I have no idea.
Marty, you know, his bit was like, He's heard every joke, he knows everything except his daughter's, which, even though he sucks, I think it still applies to uh, kids, and it's a joyful thing about kids.
Uh, the stuff they say is just so unpredictable, and I love it.
And the whole thing was like, Yeah, who didn't let the bear into the thing?
And she's just like, Just whoever was in charge of that, it was so good.
In the same way, Buttfeld's brain is so addled.
He's like a child in that I said it last time.
I love his jokes.
They're so dumb.
They're so they're not coherent.
I love it in the sense that like it's a science experiment.
Like it's a it's an amazing like, oh man, let's not forget the hot trend in Canadian healthcare.
Can you have a trend in healthcare?
I mean, I guess kind of, but like it's a bunch of stuff that just none of it works fully.
You have to be like, is there a hot trend in healthcare?
Okay, I guess.
All right.
So the hot trend and you know, you know that thing we regularly talk about, which is hot trends in Canadian healthcare or something.
Okay.
Is you fall down and you can't get up.
They won't send an ambulance.
They'll send a hearse.
Doesn't make any sense.
Yeah.
It does not make any sense.
He hasn't laid any of the foundation for that.
There's no foundation that could even work.
I think what he's getting at is what he's going to talk about next, maybe, and like the, like he switched.
Right away.
Okay.
Okay.
I will remain open.
Maybe.
Maybe.
But the whole thing has been about being overweight.
And right now, would that mean if you fall and you can't get up, which is, by the way, an old person thing?
The fall, help, I fall and I can't get up.
That's elderly.
Famously, the commercial is for an elderly person who has a button they can push when they fall and they can't get up.
Has nothing to do with being overweight.
Then the punchline is they won't send an ambulance, they'll send a hearse, meaning what?
Like you already died or something?
I don't, like, what does that mean?
It doesn't mean anything.
He's going after, you know, healthcare for all kind of thing.
Oh, okay.
I think that's what's happening.
All right.
Yeah, if that's true.
I'm having to work hard to make sense of this.
You might be right, but that's.
So, I'm just going in the time dimension.
Like, if I was watching this as a person, nothing makes any sense.
We'll see.
Maybe he'll bring it back.
So far, 76,000 Canadians have chosen euthanasia as a prescription.
And it ain't just old people or people with terminal illnesses, which is why we got to keep paying attention.
What happens up there happens here.
Marxism and socialism are still alive and well, but they take on different names and shapes.
I think that's it.
I think that's it.
Even if so, no, I can't do it.
None of that matters.
Applies.
I get it.
I hear where you're going.
I think that was his intention.
I hear you.
It might be, but then why would they call and say, I've fallen, I can't get up?
Yeah.
And then why would, first of all, even if someone's dead, you send an ambulance?
Yes.
The hearse famously is not that.
No.
They're not like, is there already dead?
Okay, we'll send the hearse department.
Yeah, that's after you're in a coffin.
And maybe never.
Yep.
Hearsts don't carry around just like you have bodies.
It's not like two different kinds of transport, depending just to the hospital.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Like the Hearst lane and the hospital lane.
So that doesn't make sense.
It doesn't make sense that you would call and say you've fallen and you can't get up.
It doesn't have any connection to the overweight thing, which was everything he was doing previously.
But he's saying people are choosing euthanasia or something, I guess.
Which is also unrelated to these other things, too.
And yeah, I know.
That's why I said it's the best I could do.
I think he ruined the structure, the order, and the overall.
Election Mistakes and Staying Home00:06:45
Just none of it makes sense.
Why he didn't let the bear into the car?
Who are his riders?
Yeah.
You know?
So, if you thought it was bad so far, and you did, otherwise I don't know what you're doing here.
It's about to get, dare I say it, even worse.
Like the casual racism that we're about to hear, genuinely, this was when we were first watching this.
This is about how far I got.
And I was like, I can't believe it.
Like, I really can't believe it.
It was so bad that I don't even think you got it.
I didn't.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, let's see.
Happens up there.
It happens up there.
Marxism and socialism are still alive and well, but they take on different names and shapes.
For every Castro that croaks abroad, a Zoran shows up here.
And he can't even fix my printer.
Man, unbelievable.
In my defense, the people in the audience didn't really react to that.
It also doesn't really make sense.
Yeah, yeah.
I even forgot because I don't even think of Mamdani.
I mean, for one, I'm not trying to be woke.
I kind of just think of him as a cool American mayor who's a socialist.
I don't really.
Yeah.
Like, I'm not even trying to be like a wokest.
I just don't really think about his race or religion that much.
I think about his social media team.
I think about like.
Most people don't walk around being obsessed with like skin color and religion and stuff.
I guess so.
I guess his parents are of Indian descent.
I think he was born in Uganda, but I guess not Uganda.
I don't think about it that much.
I know he's Muslim and he's not white.
I got that.
But I just, okay.
So he's of Indian descent of some kind.
And so the joke is that Indian people, they fix your tech stuff here.
Yeah.
That's the joke.
So he's the fucking mayor of New York, the biggest city in America.
New York City, the most important city, maybe in the world, for a lot of history in the world.
And he's the mayor of that city, an incredible accomplishment.
And he's doing a great job.
It's just everything aside, politics aside, an incredible accomplishment.
And yet he's going to demean him by saying he can't fix his printer.
Because to him, anyone who's vaguely Indian at all is just here for tech support.
And that was so racist that Lydia didn't even pick up on that.
And like you say, the crowd didn't really either.
And I just, but that is sickening.
Like it's just, that's a level of racism that used to be.
That used to get you canceled back before we invented the concept of cancel culture.
It actually did get you canceled back when cancel culture was just called normal course of business and people having like you know morals or something.
And some of those morals were bad, obviously, like the Dixie chicks got canceled for opposing the war and stuff.
But pre cancel culture, if you said this racist of a thing on TV, you'd just get fired, like, yeah, for and everyone would be like, yeah, pretty much this is really bad, like, it is so bad.
God, okay, well, I feel like I have to explain myself.
Why didn't I pick up on it in the moment?
No one should ever be blamed for not understanding a Gutfeld joke.
They're the most abstract pieces of fucking art that you can't.
I have to spend all my mental energy tracking like how he's doing his sentence.
Yeah.
You know what they are?
You know how like so many people, probably including conservatives, are all like anti modern art and they're like, ah, what is this?
It's a banana that someone stapled to the thing.
That's Gutfeld's humor.
But I'm like the college major that's like, no, you don't understand.
It's, I'm following all the ins and outs of why it's so fucking dumb and I can't get enough of it.
Oh God, so bad.
But no, it's just bad.
Yeah.
This is why you can't let your issues with Trump prevent you from voting in 2026.
The reason why Zoe ran one in New York is because 8 million people stayed home.
No.
Okay.
So if you decide to stop, that doesn't sound right to me.
Yeah.
So one of his panelists is going to repeat this as well.
The estimated population of New York City as of July 2025 is 8.5 million, 8.6 million.
That's crazy.
So nobody voted.
And then according to Gutfeld, according to Buttfeld, no, they didn't have an election.
And they're like, well, I guess Ty goes to the guy who can't fix your printer, is what they said.
Yeah.
What the fuck is he talking about?
The voter turnout in that election was actually more than the last decade in New York City.
It's still pretty low.
Low.
I mean, it was 30%.
So that's pretty low.
The registered voter population is 5.1 million.
Yeah.
And this fucking moron just said, well, it's because 8 million.
I was just like, get this straight.
The reason why Zoe ran one in New York is because 8 million people stayed home.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
So I guess negative 3 million people voted then.
Yeah.
See, this is the thing.
They're going to make fun of people for every witch thing that is invalid.
And they say the dumbest fucking shit.
You're an idiot.
8 million people?
You didn't bother.
You're doing a TV show.
We do more fact checking for this podcast than your fucking TV show that you make millions of goddamn dollars to do.
Eight million people, you fucking moron.
Yep.
So the turnout was up.
And it might be true that, I mean, you can kind of always say that when your side loses, I guess you can say that too many people stayed home, but not really.
I mean, not really.
Because like if the turnout was massively up, I think that should tell you something.
Like it's not just about your side.
Like if an election, and people said this about Kamala in 2024 and they were just wrong by the numbers mostly because, yeah, I won't get into all that.
But if you had an election where the previous.
iteration, 10 people voted for one person and nine people voted for the other.
And then the next election, 10 people vote for that same person and five people vote for the other.
Okay.
You could be like, yeah, I guess they stayed home or whatever.
But if it's like Zoran and like a whole bunch of extra people voted, like he motivated new voters and like the energy was incredible, overall turnouts up.
Yeah.
Okay.
Maybe some Republicans stayed home because they didn't have a candidate that was worth anything or whatever.
But like it's fatal to your entire fucking thing to say 8 million people stayed home when the registered population is 5.1 million.
That just means you're a fucking idiot and you don't fact check.
Normally, I wouldn't go so hard on people making minor mistakes, but when your whole shtick is insulting people for every witch thing and trying to find the worst examples and demeaning them and saying they're dumb and saying they can't fix your printer, and then you say 8 million people stayed home?
Yeah.
You fucking idiot.
What a fucking moron.
So if you decide to do the same in 2026, you're handing power over to the people who've only gotten worse.
See, woke isn't dead.
It just finds a new disguise and it slipped further into the system, which makes it a lot harder to spot.
Further into the system?
How did it get further?
You are the system, you fucking idiot.
How did we get further into the system?
That's amazing if we did.
Congrats, locusts.
And it slipped further into the system, which makes it a lot harder to spot.
The Yacht Mannequin Bit00:04:56
But the only thing more dangerous than a bad idea is the kind that learns how to hide.
Okay.
Period.
That's how he ends his thing.
First off, it sounds like John Oliver doing a bit with that one guy that does the announce.
It's funny.
Also, it's period with an exclamation point, which, okay, I guess.
I mean, whatever.
That's kind of funny or I don't, I never know with him, like if that's just stupid or funny, but that's how he was able to end it.
The only thing worse, there's no cleverness to those words.
There's no poetry to the word.
That's your going out line on your monologue.
The only thing worse than a bad idea is one is the kind that learns how to hide.
Mm hmm.
Period.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
And then we get into the panel.
Panel?
You watched some of it.
Okay, let's see.
Let's welcome tonight's guest.
He once got sunburned from opening the fridge.
Fox News contributor Tom Shalou.
She looks like she has the Spice Girls on her speed dial.
Fox Business Correspondent Madison Allworth.
No.
And also, why?
Unlike Liz Warren, he really does live in a tent.
Host of the Loftus Party Podcast, Michael Loftus.
Sorry, what?
It's the Pocahontas.
Oh, yeah.
Now you got it, and I didn't.
Yeah.
I was like, where are we in this?
That is such.
I haven't thought about that.
For a while.
Hey, she puts her baby to sleep by letting him watch Jesse Waters, 100 Times Best Song Author.
What?
Okay.
Tom, first I want to congratulate you on your new job as a yacht mannequin.
What's a yacht mannequin?
See, this is like the thing where I was like, this is the best that Greg Gutfeld is in this clip.
That is the best that exists.
Yacht mannequin.
What are you talking about?
What?
Okay.
Yeah.
Yes.
Look at that.
You're a yacht mannequin.
There's not such a thing as that.
I thought it was either that or gay parking valet for a Florida golf club, right?
Oh, here, Mr. Johnson, let me get your clubs for you.
Stay away from me, effeminate man.
Yeah, that's the number two whitest.
He's fucking.
He has, by the way, a sheet of paper with these jokes written down.
Uh huh.
Yeah, I know.
I wonder if we were able to screenshot and zoom in.
This is what he's doing.
Enhance, enhance.
One low effort comedian to another.
This is amazing.
You have, but he's written, I've never written down a, no, I won't, I won't lie.
Sometimes I write down notes when I'm trying to do the fucking roast things for the thing because I don't like roasting.
Yeah.
Occasionally I jot down some notes for Gam here and there, but I'd never write down like full jokes.
If I did, I would have something more than, because you've set up a premise.
I thought it was either that or a gay parking valet for a Florida golf club.
Okay.
Okay.
Fine.
I get it.
Is he dressed like?
Florida.
No, I see the yacht mannequin more than that, which I know isn't a thing.
Which you could just say, you look like a mannequin someone puts on a yacht.
You know, like you could at least justify it.
You put it's the slight more effort of making, you don't want to have the audience sit there, is the yacht mannequin, is that, do they have those?
Do they, like in the yacht store, do they put mannequins in the yacht to help sell the yachts?
Yeah, is that, that doesn't make sense.
You know, you don't, it's, it's not, I'm not just being a stickler for like, you just don't want your audience, if you're a comedian, Thinking those thoughts like it's not worth it, just makes the joke unclear, and people aren't laughing if they're going, Uh, oh, does that make a yacht man?
You know what I mean?
So, say a mannequin that someone took on their yacht or someone finds some way to justify it with the Florida.
I was just granting that maybe he's dressed in a way that because I don't really know anything about clothes and don't notice crap like that.
So, you're saying there's nothing about him that screams Florida in any way?
Yeah, not really.
I don't think so.
Why say Florida?
Just gay parking valet, so not a caddy.
But a parking valet for a Florida golf club.
But then he says, Oh, here, Mr. Johnson, let me get your clubs for you, which is not what a valet would do.
I mean, so I guess getting them out of the trunk or something, you could say.
Okay.
Sure.
But then he's not going to do, look, he's planned the joke.
If this were, if he was just off the cuff, maybe I would, but I see the paper where he's written yacht mannequin and some other stuff I can't make out.
Oh, can you see where it says yacht mannequin?
I think it says it at the top.
I'm pretty sure in the writing right there.
And okay, if you're not going to do a gay voice, which good, I'm glad you didn't do a gay voice, but why not?
You're doing everything else that's way more offensive.
Your impression of a gay parking valet is here, let me get my clubs for you.
Florida Votes and Primary Results00:03:20
Yeah.
And then the other thing is stay away from me, effeminate man.
I guess you're the, that's nothing, man.
That is less than nothing.
The low effort, this guy makes millions of fucking dollars.
Effeminate man.
Yeah, that's the number two widest outfit ever, right under a KKK robe.
Tommy, what would you be worried about?
Stuff never goes away.
It never goes away, but you've got to add one letter at a time.
She added, like, she was like, LGB22QQ.
I mean, it's like, slow down.
Yes.
I'm glad Joe Biden's still not president.
He couldn't even handle the LGB.
He was like, LGB, LGB, LB cheek.
It's a bad thing.
It's not a bad Biden face.
I didn't quote for that.
Yeah, I think he does like a Biden bit.
And I got a new password that has symbols and a special character.
I think we're all over this at this point.
That's why, like you said, Craig, as it shrinks, people are taking it less seriously.
So people like Lawrence O'Donnell are the only ones who engage in any of this nonsense.
You mentioned Zoran.
Woke is only working in these small areas, like in Blue City.
And he got elected.
He had like a million votes.
In a small area like New York City.
What are you talking about?
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Oh, he's about to say the dumbest shit.
He had like a million votes.
But there's 8 million people in the city.
You don't need that many, right?
8 million people in the city.
So he's at least said a thing that sounds slightly more true.
Now, again, 5 million registered voters.
So it doesn't make sense.
He got 1.1 million votes.
Okay.
What did the last person get?
You said turnout was up.
Eric Adams, 753,000 votes.
Yeah.
Before that, Bill de Blasio, 760,000 votes.
Right.
Before that, Bill de Blasio, 795,000 votes.
Before that, Michael Bloomberg, 585,000 votes.
Now we're already back into 2009, so numbers might be changing.
Michael Bloomberg, 2005, got 753,000 votes.
Now, back in the, I don't know, 9 11 days, no, still Michael Bloomberg, 744,000 votes.
So he got, wow.
So the amount of votes he got being 1.1 million ish, right?
That's like fucking double some previous elections.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow.
And wow, okay.
That's a lot.
You don't need that many for people, for these people to get their way.
What?
It's more than anybody else has ever.
I'm trying to think.
Is there, there was the, is that the weird ballot ordering stuff?
Oh, ranked choice.
So, yeah, if it's ranked choice, maybe in the end.
No, it's, let's see.
Zoran active.
Yeah, okay.
So, it is the ranked choice stuff might be an issue.
So, in the, I guess in the final round.
Yeah, that would be just primary though, right?
So, it wouldn't be for the, oh, that's a good point.
It wouldn't be for the, yeah, it was for the primary.
Yeah, no, that doesn't, okay.
No, yeah, okay.
I was going to say, maybe he has a point because in the primary, he ended up with something like 573,000 ballots.
All told, but I'm looking at the now.
I'll just look at the primary turnout.
Eric Adams final round primary 404,000.
So, way more than that, right?
Quite a bit more.
Before that, Bill de Blasio, 326,000 votes in the primary.
Diversity at Home Depot00:06:08
So, even on that, I'm just making sure because I, you know, have a slight amount more effort than this fucking clown.
Zoran, even in the primary, got quite a bit more than past couple primaries.
Yeah.
So, there's no sense in which the thing you're saying is true.
Are you dumb?
You're just fucking dumb, I guess.
I'm lazy.
To get their way, but I'm done with it.
I'm completely done.
I used to just put up with it, but I'm just, I reject it completely now.
That I was working on my home, like doing home improvement.
I looked up videos and I'm looking up this drywall video, Home Depot, and the people showing me are a black woman and her daughter.
What?
That drove me crazy.
It did.
I'm like, I want a dude.
Get me a regular dude showing me drywall.
This woman doesn't.
There's the only person who regular?
Regular dude.
I don't need like a woman and her daughter showing me how to drywall.
It's like, you know, that I mean, that is like they're obsessed.
I will say, Cat Temp, I don't like her, but she is.
I mean, she doesn't call him out specifically, but she's like, this is ridiculous.
Like, you can tell she's like, okay, this is the stupidest thing.
Imagine seeing a black person being like, I just want normal.
Yeah.
They're obsessed.
They're obsessed with race all the time.
Race and gender.
They're just fucking obsessed.
They can't, their brains are puny, shriveled brains.
Are so addled by propaganda, they can't process any other thoughts.
Black lady, give me normal.
That's all they can do.
Who cares who's showing you how to do drywall?
I'm sure it's fine.
If it was, they said it was a Home Depot page.
You think a Home Depot is like, let's just grab random people who are diverse and just, hey, you could probably do it, right?
Yeah.
Do you think they're, no, I'm sure they had them doing it right.
Who cares?
Also, if like, if you are that obsessed with having to, like, you absolutely need to watch a white man do home improvement.
There are scores of YouTube channels.
That's possible.
You can just go to that, take two seconds, and find somebody that you like on there and just watch them instead.
You have the access.
You have access to the entire internet.
No, you can't find it.
They don't let white people be on YouTube anymore.
Oh, okay.
Can't be done.
Out of the HR department, it's just like, I'm not going to look at it anymore.
It's like, delete.
I think anybody can do drywall.
Did you delete the YouTube video from the internet?
Just don't watch it, you fucking idiot.
Well, isn't it easy?
Listen, well, sometimes.
Apparently he needs a video, though.
So it can't be that easy.
I was doing it myself, but I like to get a tip.
If I could get a tip from some guy like, you know, this old house guy.
You want Mike Rowe?
Yes, Mike Rowe.
That's right.
That's such a great example.
Yeah.
Because he's just been a fucking idiot cosplaying as a working man for all this time.
Yeah.
That's great.
That is a perfect distillation.
Do you want to know what Mike Rowe studied in school?
Tell me.
Theater and singing.
Oh my gosh.
Is he a Nepo baby, you think?
Probably.
I know that people, he's just a fake fucking guy, is what I haven't looked into it much, but yeah, he just did voiceover.
He's an actor.
Okay.
Rowe sang professionally with the Baltimore Opera.
Oh, so you know who I need, Mike Rowe, an opera singer.
That's who I need.
You know why?
Because he's a white man.
It's just such a perfect distillation.
Could it be any more perfect?
No, no, I need a real working man.
I need an opera singer.
But just because of his race, who knows if whoever he's talking about, this black woman, maybe she fucking rules.
Maybe she's like an amazing carpenter, whatever.
I don't know, kind of something, you know?
Who knows?
But they're so blinded by their own bullshit that he's like, no, no.
Give me the guy who played something on TV, right?
Because he looks like it, yeah.
God, incredible.
And the thing is, you gotta be honest.
You want a white person somewhere, listen, you gotta be honest.
Somewhere, there's like a black woman and her daughter, they're doing drywall.
They open up the thing and they see the video and they're like, No thanks, like they want a dude to tell them, they're like, Thanks, but uh, you know, thanks for the sentiment.
But I got work to do here, you know.
You really are leaning into this character as a white person, it's like too much for Greg Guffield, and I think that's.
Stuff I should end up totally like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're right, Greg.
He's going too far for you, yeah.
And anyway, the rest of the panel is them.
Honestly, there's a lot more hate for Dr. Skelton that I don't think is worth airing.
Um, I don't, I expose myself to it.
I don't want you guys to have to deal with it.
We've dealt with enough of that already, yeah.
But really, but good to get the real info.
A lot of nonsense, yeah.
And it's just a video from two years ago of somebody talking about very reasonable things and, yeah, kind of nice things, actually.
Yep, oh boy.
They're so addled.
It's we are not able to properly reckon as a society with how brain damaged these people are.
They're not well, you know.
We don't have the language, we don't have the infrastructure because the media just has to fucking both sides everything.
But these people are they're not okay, they're not they shouldn't be in charge of things.
Yeah, like you could they're just spouting things that are wrong about the new.
I just went to Wikipedia, man, that's where I found the numbers of the collection.
Yeah, I did it live as we were going.
You have a show that makes millions and millions and millions of dollars.
That's the most watched fucking bullshit night thing as we covered.
Yeah.
And you can't go on Wikipedia?
Crazy.
Well, it doesn't fit their narrative.
What a piece of shit.
I know there's more that we put you through, but we're out of time.
And that's all my heart.
I'll suffer in silence.
I have just an absolute heart attack.
Oh, boy, this fucking guy.
Well, maybe we'll revisit Buttfeld sometime.
What a moron.
Thanks, Lydia, for going through that and getting the real facts on some of that stuff.
And that person sounds pretty cool.
Yep.
As usual, they have to delve into the just the most obscure corners of the internet to try to find something to make them look good and it just it still doesn't work so all right wokies thanks so much for listening we really appreciate you and we'll see you next time see ya
