  Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bongino Report, early edition. Joe
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Rogan revives the Pizzagate scandal. Zoomers scare the elderly with
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: internet brain rot. CNN's transgender mice fact check is debunked
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: as inaccurate by the White House. Meghan Markle embarrasses herself
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and her sycophant friends in a new Netflix show. And
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: OnlyFans workers' actions devastate her younger brother's life. And there
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: are rising calls to revive slut-shaming. We'll talk about what
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: that means. All this on Bungina Report Early Edition. A Washington, D.C.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: pizzeria accused of being a front for child trafficking linked
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to some of the most powerful people in the country,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: including Hillary Clinton. That was the internet pizza gate scandal
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and controversy that really took a spiraling out of control turn.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: In November 2016, during the height of the U.S. presidential election,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: internet sleuths on platforms like 4chan and Reddit claimed to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: have uncovered coded language, particularly frequent mentions of pizza in
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the WikiLeaks published emails from John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: The speculation quickly spiraled into a viral phenomenon, alleging connections
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to Clinton, high-ranking Democrat elites, and even satanic rituals. And
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: then on December 4th, 2016, a North Carolina man named
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Edgar Welch stormed the pizzeria Comet Ping Pong armed with
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a rifle and in an attempt to rescue the supposed
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: child trafficking victims inside the restaurant. And he fired shots
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: inside the restaurant, but found predictably that the restaurant had
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: no basement and there were no captives. There was nothing there.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And the event became the mainstream media sort of defining
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: moment for dismissing Pizzagate, but really just kind of all conspiracies.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: They're all fake and they're all dangerous because at some
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: point a man's going to show up with a rifle
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and shoot into a restaurant. That was the takeaway. And today,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Pizzagate is often remembered as a precursor for QAnon and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: broader internet-fueled paranoia around globalist pedophile cabals. It's been the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: focus of numerous corporate media exposés and documentaries, framed, again,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: as a sort of cautionary tale against the dangers of conspiracy.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: All this is true and a fair takeaway from Pizzagate.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: But there's another element to Pizzagate that people don't like
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to mention. And that's the factual non-schizo elements of Pizzagate
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: that were ignored by the media that, in my opinion,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: fueled the crazy elements that, again, went completely out of control.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Pizzagate is what happens when the media lets inconvenient nuggets
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: of truth spiral out of control simply because they don't
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: like the story. Because here's the thing. What started this
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: entire firestorm was actually not random internet speculation, but the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: actual content. contents of John Podesta's emails. WikiLeaks revealed that
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a woman named Maria Marina and Bravo and Bravo Mitch
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: invited John Podesta's brother, Tony Podesta to a private spirit
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: cooking dinner at her home. And you might be wondering
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: what is spirit cooking. It's a good question, but first
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Tony forwarded the invite to John asking if he was
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: interested in attending and And Bravomich is a performance artist
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: whose work, spirit cooking, is really steeped in sort of
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: occult imagery, blood rituals, and references to human sacrifice and cannibalism.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: This is not conspiracy. This is actually what her spirit
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: cooking is all about. And the events include congealed blood,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: references to satanic symbolism, a lot of really disturbing invocations.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: And at her events, you've had Beyonce, James Franco, Lady Gaga, Jay-Z,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: other elites, including of course the Podestas apparently. And it
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: has really been a spiraling trigger for a lot of
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: people on the internet. Pizzagate Crazies also highlighted John Podesta's
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: brother Tony's real and deeply disturbing art collection featuring children
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: hanging from ropes, restrained in these sort of bizarre positions
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: or posed in ways that suggest captivity and abuse and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: really just raises some serious questions like who would keep
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: this as art? Why is this art? Also, who would
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: attend the spear cooking situation? Like, I don't know. I
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: would just never want to go. It just seems like
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a really weird thing. It seems like sort of a scary,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: disturbing thing. So it was very, very odd. And Tony
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Podesta also has this replica statue of the way Jeffrey
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Dahmer posed his victim's And this replica was, it's massive.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: If you're listening, it's massive. It's gold color. I don't
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: know if it's actually gold, but it's gold colored. And
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: it's hung from the ceiling of his foyer. And it
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: really is just a bizarre thing, again, for somebody to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: have as a work of art in their home. Who
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: wants to be reminded of the way that Jeffrey Dahmer
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: killed his victims every time you walk into your house?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I wouldn't want that. So why are
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: we talking about this today? Well, just yesterday, Joe Rogan
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: resurrected the discussion on his podcast with a guy named
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Ian Carroll. And here's what Ian Carroll said about Pizzagate
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and the way that it sort of spiraled.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: And we're talking about the Clintons with the Haiti scandals,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: with the cocaine in Arkansas. It's like the thing is
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: that we sound crazy. I sound crazy to someone that
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: doesn't do their own research because you just start, there's
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: so many layers of like, Crazy shit that's happened with
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: some of these people.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: That if you don't know the history of a person
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: like Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, it's really easy to think, oh,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: that's just so insane that you would think that they'd
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: be involved in it. And first of all, they frame
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: it in the articles about Pizzagate. They say Hillary Clinton
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: was the mastermind of a global pedophile sex trafficking ring.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: all headquartered in this pizza shop, which is not what
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: anyone ever claimed.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: So as soon as you can discredit that, you discredit
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the whole thing. Classic frame job, which Nancy Pelosi explains
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: very well, where you make a false claim and you
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: say that's what they're saying, and then you discredit the
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: false claim.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's as conspiratorial as that,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: that it was really conscious and purposeful, but do I
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: think that if there's a story about John Podesta, who's
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: obviously very closely linked to the Hillary Clintons, that it
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: makes him look like a creep with, his brother having
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: bizarre art collections, and he's attending these spirit cooking rituals. Yeah,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think the media is going to cover that
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: because of obvious reasons, right? This is controlled information. They
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: want to protect their friends or people that they have
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: access to. So even if it's not conspiratorial, obviously this
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: was not a story that was covered very widely by
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the corporate media, and that fueled a lot of the insanity.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: And let's talk about Hillary Clinton's Haiti scandal, because Ian
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: sort of briefly mentioned it. For years, the Clinton Foundation
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: has been deeply involved in Haiti, presenting itself as a
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: sort of major humanitarian force in the wake of the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: devastating 2010 earthquake. But instead of rebuilding Haiti, the Clintons
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: have faced accusations of corruption, resource misallocation, and suspicious connections
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: to a woman named Laura Silsby. She's an American so-called
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: missionary who was arrested in Haiti trying to traffic 33
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Haitian children out of the country without proper documentation. Silsby
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: has a history of attempting to move children across borders
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: under questionable circumstances and was ultimately caught this time in Haiti.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: She was detained, she was charged, and she was convicted. Again, guys,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: we're sticking with the facts here. She was convicted of
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: arranging illegal travel. And what's interesting about this case is
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: that none other than former President Bill Clinton, who was
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: serving as UN Special Envoy to Haiti at the time,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: intervened diplomatically to get Silsby's charges reduced and the early
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: release of her nine fellow supposed missionaries. Why would he
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: do that? And again, I think it's worth looking into.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's nothing. Maybe it's something. We need people to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: cover these stories. We need to talk about them. And
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: people who are in the corporate media with teams and
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: resources to investigate, what's happening here? Why would Bill Clinton
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: spend time trying to reduce the punishment of some random
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: woman accused initially of trafficking children. Now that's not the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: actual charges that she was given thanks to Bill Clinton,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: but again, very strange. And then again, you think, well,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Bill Clinton was BFS with Jeffrey Epstein and nobody covered that.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: And even now that we know about Jeffrey Epstein and
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the heinous, awful things he was doing, nobody cared that
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Bill Clinton was on the Lolita Express numerous times, that
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey came to the White House dozens of times, that
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Bill Clinton was on his island. And in fact, Bill
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Clinton was honored at the DNC last year. No one cares.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: This is not a story that they want to cover.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And then that eats at people. That drives people freaking insane.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Because you think, why? Why isn't this a story? Why
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: is he allowed back in polite society? Why are we
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: letting him deliver a speech knowing that he was BFS
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: with this guy and was at his island. And I mean,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: it just doesn't make sense. And again, it drives people nuts.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: And everything I've shared with you, it's factual. I'm not
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: in the business of making things up. I'm not trying
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: to to or to stretch things, to draw conclusions when
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: there's really nothing there. And that gets to the real
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: issue here is when stories like Pizzagate are dismissed entirely
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and media outlets don't want to cover people like John
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Podesta because he's powerful and he's a powerful Democrat. He
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: has connections to the Clintons. Well, then bad things happen.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: The real story gets buried. And the genuinely crazy ideas
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: come to the forefront. And it's what drives people like
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Edgar Welch to do insane and dangerous things, acting on
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: unproven information in a very dangerous way. Pizzagate, in my opinion,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: it's not a cautionary tale against conspiracies so much as
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: it is what happens when the gatekeepers of information deliberately
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: ignore real nuggets of truth, actual stories. We need curiosity
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: from journalists, from the media apparatus, and not Censorship. No taboos.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: We have to be able to talk about everything. Let's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: just throw it out there. Let's investigate and explore and
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: in facts and in earnest, but we can't have these taboos.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: And understand that those gatekeepers don't just include the corporate media.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: People in alternative media cancel and intimidate just as much. Now,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: alternative media figures, they tend to be less susceptible to
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: this kind of pressure from their peers, but trust me,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: it still happens. There's still pressure. And like I said,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I just want to have the freedom to talk. We
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: have to be able to discuss and investigate without the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: stigma so long as the work and the research is honest.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: And that's why I appreciate, you know, Joe Rogan just
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: having a conversation about it. What was real in this thing?
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: What was absolutely insane and schizophrenic? Let's just have that conversation.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: And just so everyone is abundantly clear, because I know
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: this is a sensitive topic that again has a lot
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: of stigma, I am, am I saying that Hillary Clinton
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: is ran a pedophile ring out of a pizza parlor?
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: The answer is no. No, I am not saying that.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Just because we covered Pizzagate doesn't mean that I agree
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: with everything crazy that came out of that scandal. The
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: answer is absolutely not. I'm saying we should openly discuss
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and further investigate actual elements of the story so the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: crazy theories, like Hillary Clinton running a sexual trafficking ring
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: out of a pizza parlor, don't overpower the nuggets of truth.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: You guys, I actually had a discussion with Dan yesterday.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: It's pretty funny. I had a discussion with Dan yesterday.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I was like, Dan, watch my podcast. Tell me what
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: you think I could do better. And he said, Evita,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: you need to loosen up a little bit.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Laugh.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: You're such a serious person. Laugh a little more. You know,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: you don't want to be so down and heavy on
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: your podcast. And then the very next day, I decided
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to choose the heaviest topic that I could possibly pick
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to lead this show. So I hope Dan isn't watching,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: but I promise, guys, the rest of the show is
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: going to be a little bit lighter. Um, Oh, this
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: is for Michael. Evita will be in the studio for
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: a little longer. We set up Dan's set, but we
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: will need a little longer to finalize Evita. Don't worry.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: It's coming. Oh, are people concerned that I'm not in
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the new studio? Oh, you guys are all concerned. I'm
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: not in the new studio.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: That's okay.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: You guys it's, we're just, we're getting things ready. This is,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: this is a, a working progress. The tech guys have
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: been working extremely hard to get everything, um, together and ready.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: And just, you know, Michael, gets up in the morning
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: at like 5 a.m. to start my show, sometimes earlier.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: And he is not coming home from work until like
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: sometimes 8 p.m. One night, a couple nights, it was
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: like 10 p.m. So he's working really hard. We're going
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: to get this going. But don't be concerned. I'm just
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: here for a time until they have everything ready and
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: we can go in and it will be a really
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: good set.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: So, all right.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: But like I said, you guys, I chose probably the
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: heaviest topic I could possibly pick. And I promise the
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: rest of the show is going to be lighter. You
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: all can take a breath. All right. And also, I
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: just also want to say, sorry, you guys, I'm kind
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: of rambling a little bit, but I also just want
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to say that a lot of these heavy things, we're
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: talking about pizza gay, we're talking about conspiracy, pedophile, trafficking rings,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: don't let it preoccupy you. It shouldn't be the most
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: immediate thing in your life. All the news can be
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: really heavy these days. That's how I feel. I have
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: to be in the news cycle. I have to be
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: on top of things. And We really should only preoccupy
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: ourselves predominantly with what we have control over. Our lives,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: our communities, our families, and impacting the real people that
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: we actually know, that we actually can make a change with.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Because otherwise, it's just going to drive you crazy. You're
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: going to show up to a pizza parlor with a rifle.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: You just have to take a step back and take
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: in life in a much more real sense, what's tangible
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and in front of you and you have control over.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: All right. So there was a heated exchange on Piers
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Morgan's show last night. The woman talking in this clip
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I'm about to play, her name is Jojo from Jers,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and that's how she's known on social media. She's this
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: left-wing internet personality, totally Trump deranged, and a suburban mom
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: from New Jersey. Just take a listen to what she says.
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: Jojo, I'm going to ask you a question, a simple question.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: What are you talking about? Give me a simple answer, Jojo.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: What is a woman, Jojo?
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: You have Well, a woman is whatever if you feel
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: like you're a woman then you're a woman. I know
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: I'm a woman I identify as a woman.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: So if I feel like a woman right now, I'm
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: a woman.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: I'm not threatened If you feel like you're a woman,
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: it's your identity.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: So hang on just to be clear.
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry.
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: I heard you.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: Piers, what's your definition of a man? I'm a woman.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: What's your definition of a man?
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: So just to be clear if I feel like a
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: woman right now, I am a woman. Is that your position?
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: If you feel like you are a woman, Piers, and
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: you want to walk around identifying as a woman, it
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: is not my prerogative to tell you that you cannot.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Am I a woman? I identify as a woman.
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: Am I a woman? What is a man, Piers?
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: What is a man?
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: Oh, a man is an adult human. That's it.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Piers, can I jump into that question?
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: Adult human male.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: Adult human male. Adult human male is a man.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: Adult human male.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: And a woman is an.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Adult human female.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Adult human female.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Adult human male.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Can I raise my hand?
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: Can I answer that question?
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: Hang on, Matt. I'm going to bring Matt in. I
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: just want to.
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: Double down on this.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: I just want to be clear, JoJo. JoJo said if
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: you feel like a woman, you're a woman. So, JoJo,
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: final time. If I now say I feel like a woman.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: It's not about biology.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: I'm asking you a question.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Stop talking.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: If I now say I feel like a woman, am
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: I a woman?
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: God.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: Am I a woman if I say.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: I feel like one? If you feel like a woman,
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: you're a woman.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: What does that mean, though?
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: What does that mean?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I can't with these people. They have worms in their brains.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Worms.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: And you wonder how psyop to somebody could possibly be. Frankly,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: this is kind of like Pizzagate, right? Like Hillary Clinton
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: has a pizza parlor, child sexual trafficking ring. It's internet
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: brain rot. It is internet brain rot. Yeah, Michael Knowles
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: is just sitting there. I don't even know how he
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: got through this. Michael Knowles is a really good guy,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: a very normal guy. I don't know how he handled it.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know how he got through that. It's insane.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: We only heard, we only played like a couple minutes
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: of it. And I was already losing my mind. And
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: this exchange got me thinking last night about the brain
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: rot trend on social media. You probably don't know what
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about if you're not chronically online. What is
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: brain rot? Well, brain rot describes online visuals that are
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: so bizarre, so mind numbing, that they feel like they're
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: rotting your brain just by looking at them. So think
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: like heavy distorted memes, cursed edits, chaotic sensory overload photos,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: surreal AI generated art that makes no sense. That's brain rot.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: And there's this TikToker who's gone very viral because he
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: has printed off colored brain rot images And he's put
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: them inside a binder with laminated pages. And he shows
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: these images to old people in grocery stores. And people
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: love it. Not the old people, but people on the
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: internet love it. The caption of this reads, showing brain
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: rot to the elderly. Here is an example. If you're listening,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: he's showing her just the most bizarre AI generated photos.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: And she's just confused. She has no idea what's going on.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: She thinks he's trying to tell her something, and he's
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: not talking either.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: What are.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: You looking for? She's so disturbed. What's on the cover?
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: She takes the binder. She's, like, trying to go through it.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: It's like she's trying to crack a code. She can't. Okay.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Somebody said this is elder abuse in the chat. You guys,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you're right. It is elder abuse.
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: And as you see at the end of the video,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: she closes the binder. She gives it back. I want
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with this. I can't be a part
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: of this anymore. And okay, yeah. So this poor lady,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: she's horrified. But I feel like this is most older
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: people or people who haven't been like consumed by the internet.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: We're all in this death spiral into further and further
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: internet absurdity. And then when somebody who's not plugged in
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: sees brain rot or hears something like speech is violence
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: or chest feeding. They're just totally lost. They're like, what's
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: happening right now? I don't even know what that means.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: And I wish I didn't know what that means. I
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: envy them. When I saw that binder in the TikToks,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I knew exactly what it was. I'm like, this is
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: brain rot. This is AI art. This is insanity. This
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: is absurdity. But I knew what it was. It wasn't
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: like I was confused by it. And I wish I was.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I wish I was that old lady who had no
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: idea what she was looking at. Like you could tell it.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: She's the innocence in her. She's an old lady, but
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: there's an innocence to her. And I envy it because
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: ignorance in this sense really is bliss. There are people
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: in this country, probably mostly over 65, who have never
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: heard of Trisha Paytas or transgender mice. Yes, you guys
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: remember transgender mice from Trump's address this week? I want
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: you to take a listen to Trump and transgender mice,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: which again, brain rot, you guys, it's a thing.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: $ 8 million for making mice transgender.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: This is real.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: It is real, but CNN said it's not real. So
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: last night, a couple nights ago, sorry, last night, yesterday morning,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: my goodness, you guys, my brain's not working. So they
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: posted after Trump's speech yesterday morning, a fact check. They said,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: fact check, false. Said, actually, there are no transgender mice.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: This was not a thing that we were funding for
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: millions of dollars. They said only about.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: $ 500, 000.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Have been allocated to similar research on monkeys, but not mice.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: So fact check, false from CNN. But actually the fact check,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: false is false because the White House released a statement
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: listing six NIH grants for studies on hormone treatments in mice,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: a combined total of $ 8. 2 million for this research. So
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: President Trump was right, and CNN was forced to correct
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: this article, but they did something really annoying in this
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: correction that they made. Usually you'd just be like, okay,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take the L. I made a huge mistake.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Obviously this is real. CNN didn't do that because they
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: are prideful and they're obnoxious. And so instead they said,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Trump falsely claimed to this claim needs context. So initially
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: it said, Trump falsely claimed transgender mice, blah, blah, blah.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Now it says this claim needs context. And the context,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: and I kid you not, the context that they give
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: is we need these studies to help transgender people. So like, okay,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: we're still funding it. Most of America says it's completely
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: unnecessary and ridiculous. And CNN's like, well, this misses context
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: because actually it's a great thing. You know how they say,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: this isn't, the evolution of the left, where they'll say, well,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: this isn't happening. And then you find out it is happening,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and it's good. You know what I mean? Like, this
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: is how they operate. This is always how it goes.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: And I'll also say, you know, this is brain rot.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: It's not as overt as AI-generated, disturbing absurdity, but it's
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: still brain rot. These studies, the ideology, chest feeding, men
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: can be women, women, this is all brain rot. This
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: is the internet taking over the real world and stealing
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: our money to go towards these brain rot experiments. Which,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: speaking of, yes, we are going to discuss more brain rot,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: which is Meghan Markle's latest documentary. We have to. It's
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: so absurd that we have to talk about it. It's
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: brain rot that I can't help but share with you
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: guys because it's so bad, it's good. So our good friend,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Meghan Markle, who Dan doesn't like to cover, but we're
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: going to talk about Meghan Markle because this is not
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Dan's show. We're going to talk royals every once in
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: a while. Every once in a while, not all the time,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: but every once in a while. So Meghan Markle, the
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: former princess of the UK, she left. Now she's the
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: butt of South Park jokes. She's really descended. She's fallen
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: from grace. And she just released her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: And this is part of a $ 100 million deal that
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: she signed with Netflix. Now what's unique here is this
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: show isn't dedicated to trashing her in-laws. It's the first time,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: you guys. First time Meghan Markle is doing a show
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: not dedicated to trashing her in-laws or her own family.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: And instead, it's basically just an ego trip where Meghan
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Markle invites her sycophant celebrity friends to her house and
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: they praise her endlessly while she lectures them about homemaking
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: and her multi-million dollar home, all while being presented as
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: somehow relatable to regular people. So think Martha Stewart, but insufferable.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Here is Meghan Markle embarrassing her friend for daring to
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: call Meghan Markle by her name, Meghan Markle.
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Meghan Markle gave up the title Her Royal Highness. She
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: gave it up. She has no official duties. She's not
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: associated with the monarchy. And now she's demanding that we
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: call her, what, Meghan Sussex? I hate to break it
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: to you, Meghan, but you're a commoner now. You're a
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: commoner again. No one's going to call you Your Royal
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Highness Meghan Markle or Meghan Sussex. Your name is Meghan Markle.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: So then after all that, this is the woman, her
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: friend that she's invited over. Her name is Mindy Kaling.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: She was famous for The Office, other things. She's kind
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: of a comedy writer too. So Mindy Kaling proceeds to
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: then compliment Megan, which is a theme throughout this entire show.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: And I hate to do this to you guys, but
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: this is what that looked like. Megan, I want to
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: ask about your Luke.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: My who?
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Your Luke. Your look, Megan. Oh, my look. Your look.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: Did I not say it right?
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: I'm way cooler than I am. I don't know what
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: you're talking.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: My look. My look.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: She likes my look.
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: Your look.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Your fashion is like one of my favorite things.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Your fashion is like one of my favorite things. Like,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you guys. Who is this for? Chat,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: who is this for? And I'll tell you who it's for.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: It's for women, right? Women are supposed to love this show.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: And I think as women, we deserve better than this.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I can't emphasize enough how dumb this show is. The
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: absurdity of Meghan Markle's insistence on being called Sussex, the
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: overall premise of With Love, it highlights a disconnect that
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: feels almost comical in its self-importance. It's a multi-million dollar
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: production that feels like a desperate grasp for relevance and
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: cash rather than a genuine connection with viewers. It's so staged.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: It's so fake. Also, kind of the the millennial gray,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: it's not millennial. I say it's millennial white kitchen. Like
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: everything about it is so staged and inauthentic. I just don't,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I can't relate to that. I don't get it.
• 26:27
  Speaker 9: I don't.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: It's content for the sake of content. It is meaningless.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: And again, it's brain rot. As I saw yesterday, I
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: saw this yesterday and I needed to discuss it on
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the show. This is an interview with a only fans model,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: so essentially an online prostitute, and her little brother. I
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: want you to first watch how she tries to justify
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: to her little brother, who is clearly mortified by his
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: sister's line of work. Here she is trying to justify herself,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: justify selling herself online.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: I don't know why you're so set on going to college.
• 27:11
  Speaker 9: Like, Just don't, you know, be an entrepreneur like me
• 27:14
  Speaker 9: and be successful that way.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Entrepreneur?
• 27:19
  Speaker 9: You only f * * * that's not being an entrepreneur.
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: Yes, it is.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: It's a business.
• 27:23
  Speaker 9: You sell pictures of yourself online. That's not being an entrepreneur.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Okay, well, if you think I'm not a f *
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: * * ing entrepreneur, let's go ban for ban. Ban
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: for ban? Let's go ban for ban. I bought dad
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: a f * * * ing car. I'm about to
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: pay off mom's f * * * ing mortgage. I'll
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: pay for your f * * * ing college. You
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: don't think that's a f * * * ing... entrepreneur,
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: then I don't know what the f * * * is.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: I was just using your money. That I make through
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: the business of OnlyFans. Yeah, but it's the business not
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: being an entrepreneur. Whatever, I'm not gonna argue with a 10-year-old.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: I'm not 10!
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: OnlyFans is not being an entrepreneur. Her brother cooked her. Like,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: what is she even talking about? She's starting an account
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: on a preexisting platform and claiming that she's being an entrepreneur.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: That's like me saying, I monetize my account on X
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: and I'm an entrepreneur for tweet for tweeting.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Like what?
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: That's not an entrepreneur. You didn't, there's no risk in that.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: This is like this, the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: And also more importantly, guys, if I did OnlyFans, if
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I was an online prostitute and I offered to buy
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: my parents a car or pay off their mortgage, They
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: would throw the money in my face like this. No
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: one's accepting that. That would be like obscene, unheard of.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Whose parents feel okay with benefiting off of their daughter
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: prostituting herself online? And here's where it gets really rough
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: in the interview. I want you to take a listen
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: to this young man explain to his sister how her
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: behavior has impacted him.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: Do you really think I'm not a good sister?
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: Well, it's not that you're not a good sister. It's just,
• 29:05
  Speaker 9: you gotta think that your actions don't just have, like,
• 29:08
  Speaker 9: it doesn't affect not just only you, but it also
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: affects me. Like, next year, I'm gonna be applying for colleges,
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: and I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: do that with things that are on the internet. I
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: might not even be able to get a girlfriend because people, like,
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: they already know.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: In public. People ask me, do you really like your sister?
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: Do you really approve of this?
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: Like, I actually don't think This could work in my future. I, Christian,
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: with everything that I'm doing, like, I've never once wanted
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: it to affect you like this.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: Bro, I'm sorry. I really don't want it to affect you.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: There's nothing else I can say.
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: Like, you f * * * ed everything up.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: I'm leaving.
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: Bro.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys, these people that do OnlyFans, they're not
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: just unconnected to the world. And these people have families,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: brothers and parents and sometimes husbands, boyfriends. I mean, this
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: affects people. And I don't feel like a lot of
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: times these OnlyFans, online prostitutes even consider the people in
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: their lives and how it impacts them. I mean, on
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: its face, I think it's wrong to sell yourself online,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: of course. But I saw that video of that young
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: boy and I just, I was reminded of my little brother.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Like he kind of reminded me of my brother and
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: sort of in that awkward stage and you're trying to,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: you know, make friends at school and have a normal life.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: And can you imagine in that awkward stage as a
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: young boy, your sister, your older sister is selling herself
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: online and all your friends could potentially buy the content.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: What if it was your mom? That happens. There are
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: young men whose moms do OnlyFans. Can you imagine what
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: it's like for them growing up? And my former colleague
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: in The Federalist, Kylie Zempel, she wrote this article that
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: I think is really interesting. It's called Bring Back Slut Shaming.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: And the article, the headline is a little bit controversial.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: And she makes some really great points in there. It's
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: not just about being mean to people online who you
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: think are dressing immodestly. That's really not what this is
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: about at all. The PhD argues that slut shaming should
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: be revived as sort of a societal tool to discourage
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: certain behaviors, like perhaps prostituting yourself online and humiliating your family.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: And I guess in her case, only her little brother,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: but this applies to brain rot too, because people who
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: wear the pronoun buttons, can't define a woman, raise Palestinian
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: flags on American college campuses, and then occupy the campuses
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: to prevent students from walking to class. I'm still upset
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: about that, you guys. they are also, I think, in
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: need of some shaming, some social shaming that they're not getting.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't say these things or act this way, you
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: wouldn't say chest feeding, if society was not socially accepting
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: of it. But on women specifically, and women's sexuality, there's
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: sort of this oversaturation of nudity right now. These days,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I think, actually, Gen Z is ironically less sexually active
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: than their parents and even their grandparents. A huge percentage
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: of Gen Zers admit to being virgins. There are people
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about in their mid to late 20s still virgins,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: like a large number of them, way more than previous generations.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Here's what I mean by nudity being exhausting and contributing
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: to an ironically sexless culture.
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: I remember back in the day, I used to get
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: so excited just to see a booty, bro. Now it's
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: just everywhere. You get on TikTok, booty, booty, ass, shake ass, Instagram, ass, titties, ass, titties, ass, titties.
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: It's just like, what's the excitement? I'm not excited no more.
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: I'm bootied out. Y'all have shown me so much ass,
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: I'm numb to it. It's like seeing so many deaths,
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: you just become numb to it.
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: I'm not even.
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: Excited to see booty no more. It's like, oh, bro,
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: you see her ass? I just seen 37 other ones
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: this morning.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's big.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: It's an ass.
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: Y'all have took the joy of ass gazing out of
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: my life. And that's something I prided myself on growing up.
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: I used to love to just ass gaze. Now, y'all,
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: I'm just numb to ass. Just keep it in your pants, man.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: You guys, this is actually very deep. This is deep.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: There's something really profound here about the feminine mystique. The
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Federalist Madeline Osborne writes, before we were all bootied out,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: a woman's sexuality was not just mysterious and provocative, but
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: the most powerful force on the planet. It drove men
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: to face great risks, cross oceans, write ballots, and even
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: start wars just for the chance to gaze at a
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: woman's booty. Women held all the cards in intimate relationships.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: And I'll put it this way. There would be no
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Trojan War in 2025. We're all bootied out. We can't
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: handle it anymore. Let's go, Michael says, let's go, Helen.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Kylie then cites a feminist scholar, Camille Paglia, in this article.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: And this is a great bit where Camille really sums
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: this up perfectly.
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: When I look back at the 1950s, okay, which I
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: felt were suffocating because of the sexual polarization, I also
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: felt that in that period, which let's say in movies,
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: that was still, although it was breaking down, was still
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: governed by the Hays Code, which had been adopted in
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: the early 1930s, I feel that Hollywood, in the period
• 35:02
  Speaker 8: under the Hays Code, the oppressive Hays Code, was able
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: to suggest eroticism in an intensity, a sizzle, a sizzle
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: to sexuality that is completely gone now in this period
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: where nudity, any kind of nudity is possible. So I've
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: been forced to reconfigure my own.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: I used to.
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: believe in the 1960s, total liberation, I now realize that
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: every social code containing taboos and the strictness of the
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: code sometimes, and often in fact, is an enhancement to eroticism.
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: For example, in the late 19th century, there would be
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: a huge thing. If a woman showed her ankle, there
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: was a huge.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: Ankle!
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: Incredible. In fact, Alfred Hitchcock had a foot fetish from
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: the fact that as skirts went up, every single film
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: of his had high heels, the new high heels that
• 36:05
  Speaker 8: showed off a woman's... Slowly, more and more of women's
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: bodies would be exposed. And the more that women's bodies
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: are exposed, the less sexy they are. So that's the thing,
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: is that It seems to me that an informed view
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: of the history of culture shows that every culture has
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: invested taboos and that the taboos ultimately cannot be totally erased.
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: The moment they're fully erased, the moment they're fully discarded,
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: you actually have an end to sexual interest, sexual intensity,
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: sexual sizzle.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: You take away the taboo and you take away the allure.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: The taboos enhance the neuroticism. You guys are going to
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: make fun of me for this, probably. But you're going
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: to say, I wasted all my college degree on pointless classes.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: But guys, I did take a trimester-long class on Alfred Hitchcock,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: my senior year of college. And it was amazing. I'm
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: going to be honest with you guys, it was not
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: a waste of my time. I loved that class. And
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I promise you, I took many more very serious courses
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: in my college career. But I did take this fun
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Alfred Hitchcock class my senior year of college. And like
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: I said, it was great. But for that reason, I
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: have seen a shocking number of Alfred Hitchcock films. I
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: took a class on it. And when I say like
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: shocking number, I mean shocking number of Alfred Hitchcock films.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: And what I learned in that class is Alfred Hitchcock
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: is kind of like what Camille Paglia was saying, the
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: king of less is more. Alfred Hitchcock, for the majority
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: of his career, worked within the framework of the Hollywood
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Hays Code that she was referencing. And this prevented him
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: sex and nudity and really just kind of created like
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: a morality clause around what could be produced and come
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: out of Hollywood. And Halford Hitchcock somehow worked within this
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: framework and managed to create scenes that are way sexier
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: than anything that I have seen in modern memory. And
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: this is just one example. This is Grace Kelly and
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief. Watch how intimate
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: this is. It's just insane.
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: John, hold them.
• 38:14
  Speaker 8: Diamonds.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: The only thing in the world you can't resist.
• 38:21
  Speaker 9: Then tell me you don't know what I'm talking about.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: So if you're listening, between the intimate moments and the kisses,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: you're seeing fireworks. It's kind of how he's suggesting the passion.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: Have you ever had a better offer in your whole life?
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: One with everything.
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: I've never had a crazier one.
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: Just as long as you're satisfied.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: You know as well as I do, this necklace is imitation.
• 38:57
  Speaker 8: Well, I've not.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: So, no items of clothing are removed. Language is totally couched.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: It's not crass. I got one more for you guys.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: This one's shorter, I promise, but this is Grace Kelly
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: and James Stewart. How are we making asking James Stewart
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: about his broken leg this sexy? How is that possible?
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: And again, like I said, Hitchcock was a master. And
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys, this doesn't just apply to movies.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: It applies to life. But do you see what I
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: mean about less being more? All we see in that
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: last scene, it was Grace Kelly's face. That's it. Like
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: just her face. And you know, Muslims and even some Christians,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: they take modesty to the point of not flattering women.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think God created women as beautiful as he
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: did to put them in burqas. I don't think that.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: And Kylie Zempel writes in her article, for all their
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: angry shrieking about misogyny, feminists are the ones who forfeited
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: women's true sexual power. But we can restore it, not
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: by covering every square inch of skin. We're looking for
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: less return to Amish and more rediscovery of feminine allure.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: To make boobs and booties great again, flatter those features
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: rather than flaunt or flatten them. Play to those curves
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: without barring or androgynizing them. Show a bit of skin,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: but not most of it. Just a little something something
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: to keep them guessing. When hoes leave nothing to the imagination,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: they take what was once intriguing and make it boring instead,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: and we can't let them get away with it anymore.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: And like I said, this isn't about puritanical prudery or
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: burka-level cover-ups. It's about reclaiming that power, that mystery, flattering
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: the feminine without flashing at all. We don't need to
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: be thumbnails on a paywall. We have to captivate, not exhaust.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: And the hoes or the oversharers have turned intrigue really
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: into boredom. And it's time that we stop settling for that.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: All right. That's all I have for you guys today.
• 41:35
