ust give it a second look. I don't give a lot of advice, but I'm going to make an exception. If your political preferences cause you, a young woman, to be randomly punched in the face because you went outdoors, just take a pause. Just look at the big picture. Just ask yourself, is there anything we're doing that we could do differently that would make fewer people get punched in the face? Just ret…

So I don't have an opinion about the accuracy of the documentary. And remember there's always a documentary effect. If you watch any documentary with any point of view, by the time you're done you will think it's all true. Doesn't mean it's true. It just means you saw one point of view for an hour. If you see one point of view for an hour, you're going to be persuaded because they're not going to show you any counter-evidence. So be careful about that.
But every part of my instinct does say that our food supply is poisoning us and causing cancer. And oh wow, she was an 18-year-old girl. Wow. So she says it's a story of how I, an 18-year-old girl, spent two years relentlessly searching for the true cause of cancer. And yeah, the true cause. So you know there's a genetic component to cancer of course, but then there's the lifestyle triggers. So she went looking for the triggers. That will be very interesting.
Greg Abbott issued an executive order that the Texas colleges and universities should look at all their rules and make sure that they're sort of anti-anti-Semitism. So they're trying to reduce anti-Semitism in the Texas universities. And so Greg Abbott did these executive orders. And people like Christopher Rufo, who says he's very committed to the fight against anti-Semitism as all of us should be, it says why are you calling out this one group?
Oh, that's a good question. Shouldn't the rules be looked at to make sure that 100% of all people are free from anti-everything? That in other words there's no group that gets discriminated against. Why do you need to call out one particular group? Is it because that one particular group is the subject to the most discrimination? No, that's not why. That is not why. Because if it was based on the most discrimination, they would have already done an executive order to stop discriminating against white people. White people and men have been by far the most obviously discriminated people, and Asians, Asian-Americans in colleges. So there are a couple of groups that are by far more discriminated.
But at the moment anti-Semitism is sort of at a crisis level. So I do understand why he felt the need to respond. But it is a very good question. Why do you ever need to pick out one group? If it's a general rule for your population, it should be don't do it to anybody. There's no exceptions. But I understand you were in a special time and place and Governor Abbott felt he needed to respond to that. I feel that was more a political response than a good government response.
Well, let me put it in another way. I don't think DeSantis would have done this. What do you think? So DeSantis is sort of setting the standard for what a good governor looks like. You know, if you want it and it's important and you know the science supports it, we're going to do it. He's a competitive bastard. Whatever nickname you give him, it's going to be like, "Hey, let's call him Small Penis Don." I swear to God his penis size would double in the next day. Yeah, he's just a winner. He's just a winner. That's just in case any anti-Trumpers wandered into the show. Just to really give them a heart attack and make them hate me extra.
Well, I was just saying on the man cave the other day and it's worth repeating how telephones have ruined movies. You've noticed that it's impossible to watch a movie. That all movies are just garbage now. Now some of it is the wokeness. We talked about that a lot. But here's another phenomenon.
I remember going to the movies, let's say in the 60s when I was a kid, in the 70s and the 80s, and it always felt the same. The movie would open with something terrible happening to somebody. Somebody would lose a job or their family would be slaughtered when they went out to the grocery store. Something horrible would happen. But then during the co

urse of the movie the antagonist, the hero, would prevail and then you would get this relief at the end. It's like ah. It would be like a dopamine relief. So not only did you watch a good movie with lots of good scenes, but because they depressed your dopamine with the bad news at the front, when they released it you're like, "Oh yeah, pretty good." So here's how phones ruined that. If I'm lookin…
