Now, I don't approve of the language that he used in front of the child. You know, you shouldn't use profanity, but other than that, it is hilarious. And look, I believe in talking to kids, like, the way that I talk to my own kids. I talk to my kids like I've talked to anybody else. I believe that. That's what you should do. You should talk to kids like they're. You know, you don't talk down to them. You talk to them like they're a person. Cause that's what they are. And. But this is. You know, there are limits. And I think he's exceeded the limit. The best part is the kid saying, oh, thank you for sharing that. Nothing matters. Nothing. We're all gonna die. We're dust. Nothing matters. Legacy. It's all bull. Doesn't matter. Oh, well, thank you for sharing that. It's very funny, but also sad, I have to say. And I've seen a lot of people sharing this video and laughing about it. Rightfully so. I mean, objectively, it is funny. But then also saying, as I've seen in some of the commentary about this video, that Mike Tyson is right and that he's just giving kind of a cold dose of reality to this, to this kid. But, I mean, he's not right. You know, this is nihilism. The idea that nothing we do matters because we'll all be nothing in the end after we die isn't true. First of all, we won't be nothing after death. Death is not nothingness. And your legacy does matter. Like what kind of effect you have on the world, what you leave behind, how you're remembered, all of that. Does actually matter. And if that doesn't matter, if the effect and impact you have on the world and how you're remembered and what kind of legacy you leave, if that doesn't matter, then nothing matters, right? Which is, of course, I assume, Mike Tyson's philosophy. It's nihilism, which is not something we should be applauding, even if objectively it's very funny in this context. We shouldn't be applauding it. I mean, it's just, it's not actually true. That is not. That's. You shouldn't live your life that way now. You shouldn't be an egomaniac either. You shouldn't be obsessively concerned with how people will think about you. But caring about legacy and caring about how you're remembered, that's. Look, that's. Not only is that the correct way to live, but it's the only way to greatness. I mean, every great, every great person who's achieved something great in life cared about that. There are not very many. There might be a few exceptions here and there, people that are nihilists and didn't really care about anything and yet still went on sort of accidentally almost to do great things. But those would be rare exceptions. And for the most part, the people that achieve greatness and are great, it's because they think that it does matter. Nothing matters is not a good starting point to success in life or happiness. As for the fight itself, I already admitted I don't know anything about. I don't know, I don't follow boxing. I'm not an expert, so take my commentary with a grain of salt. I do understand some basic realities about human beings, however, and one of them is that age is real and 60 year old men don't win boxing matches against men half their age. Okay? So Mike Tyson will lose. Feel very confident in that. I might even put money on it. I mean, he's gonna lose because unless the whole thing is just totally rigged and it's all for show, which, I mean, of course it's at least partially all for show, but he'll lose because he's 60 years old and that means something. And we, you know, I tweeted something about this last night and of course thousands of comments are all really angry and insisting that I'm wrong and like guarantee Mike he's going to destroy him. It doesn't matter. 60 years old, this guy's still in fighting shape. Look it, we have this thing in this country and we see it in politics, we see it in Celebrity culture, we see it with the, you know, the obsession with plastic surgery and all that. But it's this thing where we just refuse to accept the reality of aging. We refuse to accept it. We won't accept it. And that's one of the reasons why you got so many people, like, insisting that Mike Tyson is going to win. And maybe it's because they, you know, some of it's nostalgia, some of it is they really hate Jake Paul. I mean, there's a lot that goes into it, but then part of it is also just like people don't want to admit to themselves that aging is real and that if you're in your 60s or in your late 50s, you are past your physical prime. You just are. Okay. Unless you were in, you know, sometimes you hear about someone who's 55 years old. I'm in the best shape of my life. It's possible if you were a total lard ass in your 20s and then didn't start caring about your health until your 40s and 50s, then yeah, it's possible in that case that you could be in the best shape of your life in your, in your late 50s. That says a lot more about what you were before than it is about you now, unfortunately. But generally the, the, the process is, you know, you don't get stronger with age. You get stronger with age and sharper with age up to a point. You know, as you know, from childhood into early adulthood, hopefully you get stronger and sharper and all of that, but it reaches a point and then you start to decline. And yes, you lose the physical part that goes first for everybody. Eventually the mental part goes as well. It doesn't mean everyone's going to lose their mind. Doesn't mean everyone's going to end up like Joe Biden. But you lose some of that clarity of thought, some of that quickness that goes too. It just does. It does for everybody. I'm sorry. And you can refuse to accept it all you want, but it's still true no matter what. I'm getting all these responses. There's one guy that, well, I'm in my 60s and I could kick the ass of 98% of guys under the age of 30. No, you can't. Sorry, you can't. I just guarantee that you can't because you're in your 60s and nothing wrong with that. How about having some dignity as we age instead and like accepting the realities of aging and not insisting that Even though we're 62, we haven't really aged past the age of 28. You know, we've just repeated the age of 28 over and over and over again. How about just accepting it? There's dignity in that. Because I'll tell you one thing, you don't have to lose everything as you age. Yeah, you lose a lot of the physical part. Again, everybody loses that. You lose that. You get weaker, you get all that happens. You get more frail. All that happens as you age. You lose some of the mental sharpness and quickness. That goes, too. But what you can gain as you age is wisdom. Okay? That's the one thing, and it's a big thing that you can continue to gain year after year after year. So that when you're in your 60s, yeah, you're not as quick as you once were, you're not as strong as you once were, but hopefully you're much wiser than you were when you were younger. And you're much wiser than men half your age. So that is one thing you can gain. That's the good news in all this. Yes, we're all going to get old and get frail and die. That's all going to happen. If it doesn't happen, it's because you died before any of that could happen. But the good news is you can get wiser with age, but you lose out on that benefit of aging if you refuse to accept that you are aging. And if you cling onto your youth desperately and you go around with this nonsense claiming that I'm 60, I could beat anyone's ass. That's not why. Because you're clinging onto this. It is blocking the wisdom that you could be gaining. Because in order to the starting point, if you want to gain any wisdom, you have to at least begin by accepting reality. There's no such thing as gaining wisdom. A person who's delusional about reality can't be wise. And so you gotta start with that. Yeah, that's one thing that we're missing. So, yeah, Mike Tyson will lose. And then if he doesn't, well, hey, I said I don't know anything about boxing. So we'll see. Let's talk about something that affects all of us. Taxes.

Join us now as we fight the left and build the future. Now let's get to our daily cancellation. Darkness and confusion descended upon our country yesterday. Cries of anguish could be heard across the land, mourning and wailing and gnashing of teeth as it was revealed that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez had removed the pronouns from her Twitter Bio. Until recently, AOC's bio specified that she is a she her. But at some point in the last few months, she deleted that detail from her personal biography. As you can see here, first it's there and then it's not. Now, is she still a woman? Did something change? How are we supposed to know what she is? I mean, how does this work exactly if somebody identifies as certain pronouns but then suddenly without warning stops identifying as those pronouns. Do the old pronouns automatically hold indefinitely, or does that mean that we're supposed to be using no pronouns when we refer to her or when we refer to blank? This is an especially bewildering change, considering that it was only two years ago that AOC apologized publicly for not having pronouns on her Instagram bio. I'm sorry about that. They used to be on there. Let me go in and check and see if I can add them. Sorry about that. They used to be there. I guess they fell off, but I'll put them on right now. So she put the pronouns up after that little incident. Not having pronouns was an offense that necessitated an apology two years ago, and now she deliberately removes the pronouns without any apology or even explanation. Think about all those people who were offended that she didn't have pronouns before. How must they be feeling now, now that her pronouns have disappeared again? Think about how scared, how lost, how alone they must feel. I have sympathy for those poor folks, even if AOC doesn't. Now, it may sound like I'm being sarcastic about all of this, and I am, of course, but it is true that the removal of the pronouns from AOC's bio is pretty significant in a symbolic kind of way. At some point very recently, aoc, one of the wokest members of Congress and one of the leaders of the woke revolution, made the deliberate decision to go into her bio and take those two words out of it. Why did she do that? There was obviously a thought process behind it. It wasn't done randomly. She said to herself, I have to go take those out. Why? There was a reason. What was it? Well, the reason seems pretty clear. We've talked about it on the show, including just yesterday. The pronouns signify something very specific. AOC never put the pronouns in her bio because she thought that people were confused about whether she's a woman. They weren't meant to inform anyone about her sex. The pronouns are a symbol of one's fealty to the trans religion. They are a statement of your belief in transgenderism and your rejection of biological reality. They put pronouns because it's quicker and snappier and more palatable than adding a note to their bio that says, I hereby accept and affirm everything that trans activists say. Reality is whatever they say it is. I reject any truth that they tell me to reject. That's what the pronouns mean. But they get the message across more efficiently by just putting the pronouns in. So what does it mean when you take the pronouns out? It means that you no longer want to make that statement. Now, probably you never wanted to make it. Aoc, woke as she is, clearly didn't want, which is why she had to be guilted into it in the first place. But now they see that, that sort of public submission to the trans agenda, they see it as more politically damaging and certainly more humiliating than the alternative. They are embarrassed of it. Aoc, even aoc, is embarrassed of the trans issue, and that's why she made this quiet change, to separate herself from it. There's really no other way to interpret it. Now, I'm not claiming that Democrats have had any sort of mass conversion experience. I'm not even claiming that they've had their minds changed on the trans issue. Their minds never needed to be changed. The vast majority of them never believed any of this in the first place. Even most of the trans activists, as in left wing activists who also identify as trans, don't actually believe that a man in a dress is a woman, or that men can get pregnant, or any of that. We use words like confusion a lot when talking about this issue, but most of them are not actually confused about this stuff. Now, tragically, plenty of children are confused because they've been made to be confused. But the adults doing the confusing do not share in that confusion. For the most part, they know better, which is what makes it all so evil. No, the Democrats never believed in the claims made by the trans agenda. Rather, they saw it as a useful tool. The trans agenda was a useful tool. It was a means to an end. It was another way of controlling and manipulating people and destroying the pieces of human civilization that they despise, which is pretty much all of it. But what happens when the tool is no longer useful? What happens when it hurts your quest for power more than it helps it? What happens when the tool is only having the effect of making people laugh at you? What happens when your tool for societal control has made you a laughingstock of society? What happens when you intended to use the tool to bully those who you perceive to be weaker than you, but instead you're the one who ends up getting stuffed into a locker? Well, in that case, the tool is not a tool anymore. It's useless, and you discard it. So AOC is not turning conservative. She won't be switching her party registration anytime soon. She's not going to be singing Donald Trump's praises or announcing that she's a big fan of the Ben Shapiro podcast, or that her favorite film of the year is Am I Racist? Streaming now on Daily Wire plus but she is backing, ever so quietly, ever so gently, away from a battle that she knows she's lost. The left's war on biology is failing. They know that that's what's meant by this change. It is the answer to the mystery of the missing pronouns. And it's why, by AOC's own hand, preferred pronouns are today canceled. That'll do it for the show today and this week. Have a great weekend. Talk to you on Monday. Godspeed. Every day, thousands of Comcast engineers and.
