Today on the Matt Wall Show, yet another prominent beauty brand tries to sell its product to women
00:00:04.420
by using men dressed in woman face. Also, garage door victim Bubba Wallace has a temper tantrum
00:00:09.520
and tries to kill another driver during a race, but his victim status ensures that he will face
00:00:13.640
no serious consequences. Plus, a Daily Wire report reveals what sources inside Vanderbilt have to
00:00:18.620
say about Vanderbilt's pledge to pause gender transitions on minors. And don't believe your
00:00:23.060
lying eyes, Joe Biden says that the economy is actually strong as hell, quote unquote.
00:00:27.560
In our daily cancellation, an airline passenger is accused of fat shaming for complaining about
00:00:31.840
being wedged between two morbidly obese people for a three-hour flight. Who's in the wrong there?
00:00:36.560
We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:47.900
Well, the Labor Department's Consumer Price Index, which catalogs the costs of goods, services,
00:00:52.280
food, and rent, rose 0.4% over the month of August, double what many economies
00:00:57.220
or economists had anticipated. Perhaps worse, core inflation, which excludes food and gas prices,
00:01:02.600
saw the highest increase last month that it's seen since all the way back in August of 1982.
00:01:09.020
What's the current administration doing to quell the surge of inflation? Well, they're spending
00:01:12.700
more taxpayer dollars, of course. Don't bury your head in the sand while your savings deplete.

00:02:20.700
long ago when women's cosmetic and beauty brands would cater very specifically to women. They would
00:02:27.900
arguably go over the top in that regard. Every ad, you know, was about how special and wonderful and
00:02:33.820
unique and beautiful all women are just the way they are, which always did raise questions as to why
00:02:39.560
they would need the products in the first place if they're already special and beautiful just the
00:02:44.300
way they are. But the brands were, they were pandering. And they were pandering in a way that
00:02:48.160
made sense to the customer base that they were trying to reach. But all started to change a few
00:02:52.640
years ago. First was the announcement of the first dude cover girl, James Charles, in 2016. And this
00:02:59.020
prompted a sort of nuclear arms race of wokeness with other women's brands rushing to find and feature
00:03:05.120
their own cross-dressers. It doesn't make a lot of sense from a practical or business standpoint.
00:03:11.280
These companies are still predominantly selling to females. I mean, really only selling to females.
00:03:15.780
And the point of a model for a fashion or cosmetic brand is to demonstrate what the product looks like.
00:03:22.160
The female customers want to know what the product looks like on a woman, not on a drag queen. But the
00:03:28.840
race was on in any case. Other beauty brands jumped in. Last year, Revlon tweeted a picture
00:03:33.020
of a guy named David Lopez, bearded yet caked in makeup, with this caption.
00:03:39.460
Can we talk about how beautiful David Lopez's look is? It's all in the details. Color stay
00:03:45.580
concealer, candid glow foundation, color stay satin ink in your go-to 001 and eyes on you 006. I don't
00:03:55.200
know what most of those words mean, but I do know what beautiful means. And I know that this picture
00:04:00.780
ain't it. David Lopez's look could better be described as ridiculous, grotesque, ugly.
00:04:07.300
It appeals to almost no one on the planet. See, the woke left, they applaud this stuff in principle,
00:04:13.560
but few of them actually find it attractive because it's not about being attractive or beautiful anyway.
00:04:20.100
The fashion news site Nylon profiled Lopez a few months ago and applauded him for,
00:04:25.840
quote, demystifying and de-genderizing the beauty space. Yes, de-genderizing. That may be one of the
00:04:34.340
more annoying fake words we've heard in recent years, but the greater point is that this is a
00:04:39.000
campaign to take femininity away from women, to de-genderize it. The point was driven home a few
00:04:45.540
days ago with the launch of a new podcast hosted by Ulta Beauty, which is the beauty brand that owns
00:04:51.680
hundreds of salons all over the country. In an episode titled The Beauty of Girlhood, posted to
00:04:58.100
Ulta Beauty's Twitter page, the de-genderizing David Lopez interviews, quote, unquote, trans woman,
00:05:05.200
big scare quotes around that, Dylan Mulvaney. Now you may recognize that name because Mulvaney has been
00:05:10.780
all over the place recently, the media's latest and greatest trans mascot. Most recently we talked
00:05:16.840
about he was a featured speaker at the Forbes Women's Summit, and he came to prominence due to
00:05:22.200
a TikTok series called Days of Girlhood, which documents his, quote, transition from man to girl.
00:05:29.820
Not man to woman, you may note, but man to girl specifically. He identifies, this is a grown man
00:05:35.340
who identifies not just as a woman, but as a girl. This transition, as the videos document on his
00:05:42.520
TikTok page, mostly consists of him prancing around while doing an exaggerated over-the-top
00:05:48.280
impression of femininity. You may recall this particularly degrading example. Here it is again.
00:05:55.440
Day 66, being a girl, and today I'm in nature. Trees, I love them. Water, lakes, I love them.
00:06:03.540
Heels, they're my hiking heels. I love them. Bridges, love them. Coconut water, love it. Not nad,
00:06:18.180
just love it. Wind turbine, love it. Meadows, love them.
00:06:35.480
You know, I've been hiking in the woods with my wife many times. She does not wear high heels and
00:06:43.260
spandex for the occasion. In fact, she wouldn't wear that combination for any occasion, least of all
00:06:49.160
a stroll through nature. That's because my wife is an actual woman, like a real one. Dylan Mulvaney has
00:06:56.920
transitioned not into a woman, but into a cartoon. And yet corporate brands and the media have made
00:07:03.320
him into a spokesman for womanhood, which leads to this podcast in which two males discuss the beauty
00:07:10.220
of girlhood. And that is where this is said. Listen.
00:07:13.760
Now I know I can find love. I know I can still be a performer. I know that I can have a family. I
00:07:20.140
want to be a mom one day. And I absolutely can. And that's why the narrative still has a long way to
00:07:25.440
go. Because when I was grieving boy Dylan, I didn't know those things were even accessible to me.
00:07:31.220
A mom one day, he says. That's all it takes. You know, put on some lipstick and stick a red bow in
00:07:36.920
your hair. And suddenly the rules of biology no longer obtain. You could be a mom, or so he thinks.
00:07:44.120
Yet unfortunately for Dylan, if he ever wakes up to find his belly distended, it's not going to be a
00:07:48.920
human child in there. It might be, you know, maybe he contracted a parasite from some bad sushi, or else
00:07:53.940
maybe he's about to reenact that scene from Alien. But whatever condition afflicts him, he, we can be sure
00:07:59.540
that the maternal experience will always elude his grasp. Now this discussion about girlhood
00:08:05.560
continues for almost an hour with two men, again, discussing the beauty of girlhood, not womanhood,
00:08:12.160
girlhood. I'm not going to subject you to much more of it, but I did find this portion interesting
00:08:17.320
where the two men give their thoughts about the nature and definition of beauty. Listen.
00:08:24.640
The beauty really is, it's the potential. I don't think beauty for me is like an end goal or like a one
00:08:31.700
thing, you know, a one look or a one specific moment. It's, it's the ever-changing potential to
00:08:40.240
see myself in a, in a light that makes me really happy.
00:08:44.200
Yeah. That's so special. And I mean, it's one of the many reasons I love you and adore you and what
00:08:50.860
you do and, um, why people I think relate to you because there's this idea and this concept that
00:08:57.500
we as queer people, we are the stewards of change of this new world because we are willing to live
00:09:05.240
our life joyfully through adversity and willing to love ourselves despite the world telling us we
00:09:12.120
shouldn't. You know, there are certainly many criticisms we can level against these two, but we
00:09:17.980
cannot accuse them of having a low self image. That's one thing we can't say. That is not a problem
00:09:23.140
often evident on the LGBT left where they tend to carry around such massive and hefty egos that you
00:09:29.260
wonder how they managed to walk upright or fit through doorframes. We note as always that the
00:09:34.660
self is put at the center here. Dylan defines beauty as the ever-changing potential to see myself in a
00:09:43.140
light that makes me happy. Now that's wordier than it needs to be because these people are allergic to
00:09:48.360
speaking clearly, but the point is that beauty is simply whatever makes him feel good. Truth is also
00:09:53.760
whatever makes him feel good. Womanhood is whatever makes him feel good. Literally all of life, every
00:09:58.320
part of life is defined by its ability to make him feel good about himself. Everything really has the
00:10:05.500
same definition and no definition at all at the same time. Of course, this is not just nonsensical,
00:10:12.160
but incredibly demeaning and offensive. There is no substantive difference between this and a brand
00:10:20.620
using a white guy in blackface to market to black people. And the insult becomes all the more
00:10:26.580
outrageous when you consider that Mulvaney just, quote, became a woman or a girl, sorry, a few months
00:10:33.640
ago as a TikTok stunt. Now he not only claims the title for himself, but even deems himself worthy to
00:10:41.560
speak for women. He hasn't experienced any of the things that women uniquely experience. He hasn't
00:10:47.140
encountered any of the challenges that women uniquely encounter. He hasn't paid the toll that
00:10:51.700
women have to pay. He can't relate to being a woman. He has absolutely no insight to offer on the
00:10:58.780
subject. He puts on a minstrel show and we're expected to act like it's the real deal. Now the good
00:11:05.940
news is that a great many people seem to be tired finally of pretending, of playing along.
00:11:14.820
I've been waiting for the moment when most of society gets sick of this garbage,
00:11:21.160
this nonsense that we have all always recognized as nonsense. And now finally, it seems like lots of
00:11:29.400
people don't want to play along anymore. The reaction to this Ulta Beauty campaign has
00:11:33.200
been almost uniformly negative. The company has disabled the comments on YouTube and on Twitter
00:11:38.960
because almost every comment was critical. Women in particular are speaking out and now a boycott
00:11:44.660
movement is growing. I myself have been boycotting Ulta Beauty since the day I was born, but the hope is
00:11:50.920
that actual customers will follow through and refuse to give their business to a company that advertises
00:11:56.740
to them by degrading and demeaning them. This should be a really easy decision.
00:12:05.860
You know, there's no reason why you should give your money to this company ever again. In a just
00:12:11.060
world, Ulta Beauty would be bankrupted and destroyed by next month, which is what needs to happen.
00:12:17.620
You know, it's one thing to be tired of the appropriation and degradation of womanhood,
00:12:21.560
but now the people responsible for it need to feel the consequences. And that's the only way
00:12:29.000
to make all of this stop, finally. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:12:40.620
We're celebrating a huge win this month in the fight against transing the kids with Vanderbilt
00:12:45.280
Hospital agreeing to pause all gender transition surgeries on minors, but the fight is far from over.
00:12:49.940
There is still so much we can do to protect our children from this evil leftist insanity.
00:12:55.020
One thing you can do today is write a will. Many new parents don't realize how important it is to
00:12:59.020
have a will in place, but the sad truth is that if you were to die tomorrow without a will,
00:13:03.140
the fate of your children will be left up to the state. I don't know about you, but I don't want
00:13:06.320
the state deciding anything for my family. Luckily, my partners over at Epic Will make nearly,
00:13:11.520

00:13:36.680
By the way, Media Matters, this is hot off the presses. They have their latest hit on me. They're passing
00:13:43.340
around today a clip of me from my All Access on Friday, where I say that anime is satanic. Now,
00:13:51.040
in fairness, somebody asked me in the All Access how I feel about anime, and I said that I have no argument
00:13:59.880
for this, no argument really to support it. It just feels satanic to me. It seems weird and bizarre
00:14:08.320
and kind of demonic. That's the vibe I get, okay? That's, it's a vibe. That's all it is. It's a demonic
00:14:14.860
vibe. I don't have to explain. That's the whole point of the vibe. I don't have to explain it. It just
00:14:19.420
is. So anime and yoga, both satanic. What else do you want me to tell you? That's how, that's how I,
00:14:28.300
it's my lived truth. That's how I experience it. The great thing is that I said this, but here's the
00:14:32.340
point. I said this on Friday on an All Access, which means, first of all, that Media Matters,
00:14:38.700
they not only watch all of our content, but they are All Access members. They are, they are, in fact,
00:14:43.600
our highest paying, they have paid for our highest paying membership status, our most expensive
00:14:49.600
membership in order to, you know, watch everything we do and everything we say. And they want to,
00:14:54.480
because especially they want to get the off the cuff, which is what All Access is, by the way.
00:14:57.760
If you're not an All Access member, like Media Matters is, then are you going to let Media Matters
00:15:02.140
support the Daily Wire more than you do? Come on. Should all be All Access members. But this is,
00:15:08.020
you ask questions, you get our off the cuff answer. And if you ask me a question about
00:15:13.280
anime and want to get me talking off the cuff about it, this is what you're going to get.
00:15:18.520
I stand by it, 100%. Can I necessarily justify it? No. But that never stops the left. They can't
00:15:27.060
justify anything they say. So why should I have to? It is satanic. In fact, I'll go a step further,
00:15:34.000
and I'll say, based on what I understand, if you watch anime for up to 30 minutes in a row,
00:15:42.180
you will become demonically possessed. Studies have shown that.
00:15:50.080
All right, let's begin here. It's pretty rare that we cover NASCAR on this show. I can't pretend
00:15:55.340
that I'm much of a fan, though I had respected it for being the only unwoke professional sports
00:16:01.520
league, if you can call NASCAR a sport, which is a different conversation. But it was unwoke,
00:16:07.600
for at least it seemed to me that it was. And that is until Bubba Wallace had a panic attack
00:16:11.940
over a garage door pull. And NASCAR responded by trying to turn him into a civil rights hero,
00:16:17.500
and all the other drivers fell to their knees before him. And they did a 21-gun salute and a
00:16:22.320
fighter jet flyover, and they awarded him the Medal of Freedom, the Nobel Peace Prize,
00:16:26.580
because he was traumatized by his garage door. All of NASCAR's unwoke credentials went flying out
00:16:33.920
the window in one fell swoop because of that. And that was also the last NASCAR-related story that
00:16:40.480
I was aware of. Until this, which also features garage door victim Bubba Wallace. From the Daily
00:16:47.420
Wire, it says, NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace erupted into a fit of rage during a race on Sunday as he
00:16:52.960
attacked another driver after causing that driver to crash. The incident happened during stage two of
00:16:58.040
the South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway when Wallace, who won stage one, was next to driver
00:17:03.320
Kyle Larson when Larson attempted a three-wide pass. Larson moved up the track, and his car gave a
00:17:09.320
slight tap to Wallace's car, causing Wallace's car to brush up against the wall. After brushing up
00:17:13.280
against the wall, Wallace bounced into Larson's car and then continued by tracking Larson's car down the
00:17:18.800
track and slamming into the rear of his car, causing both cars to spin out. And we have the footage of
00:17:23.920
this incident, which is what led up to everything. So here it is. Like I said, you don't see a lot of
00:17:31.240
NASCAR footage in this show, but there we go. Tracks him down. Why not? Just play bumper cars going 180
00:17:39.080
miles an hour. And they both spin out. And nobody was seriously hurt from what I understand, but it just
00:17:47.520
so happens that nobody's seriously hurt. So going back to the Daily Wire report, it says, after both cars
00:17:53.660
came to a stop, Wallace, who has previously been described as being self-righteous and smug, got
00:17:58.280
out of his car and physically attacked Larson, who's smaller than Wallace. Larson tried to get away
00:18:02.500
from Wallace, and the physical attack was only stopped when NASCAR officials intervened. So here's
00:18:08.020
that part. Now they get out of the car, trying to be a tough guy, dressed like Ronald McDonald.
00:18:15.640
Tough guy in the Ronald McDonald uniform. Last seen sobbing over a scary rope in his garage.
00:18:21.720
But he's tough and scary. And unfortunately, the other dude, who's that Kyle Larson, just
00:18:28.520
like runs away from him. But there's a reason why he runs away, and we'll get to that in a
00:18:32.420
second. So to review, Bubba Wallace gets angry, rams his car into another driver going 180 miles
00:18:41.300
an hour, 200 miles an hour, which is essentially attempted murder. I mean, you could easily kill
00:18:46.680
somebody doing that. Wallace should face criminal charges for this. You could kill someone.
00:18:54.520
But then he gets out, physically assaults the guy, and later being interviewed by a reporter,
00:18:58.760
he continues to be, of course, childish and petulant, blaming everyone but himself,
00:19:04.200
because what else is he going to do? Let's listen to that.
00:19:06.760
What happened? Cliff Daniels said, if that wasn't retaliation, I don't know what was.
00:19:12.240
Was it intentional retaliation on your behalf? Clint's smart enough to know how easy these
00:19:16.800
cars break. So when you get shoved in the fence, like deliberately, like he did,
00:19:20.420
trying to force me to lift, steering was gone. So just so happened to be there. Hate it. Hate it
00:19:26.280
for our team. Fast, super fast car. Had no short run speed, as you were seeing. We're kind of
00:19:31.880
falling there. Larson wanted to make a three wide dive bomb. Never cleared me. And I don't lift. So
00:19:37.760
I know I'm kind of new to run up the front, but I don't lift. So wasn't even in a spot to lift,
00:19:42.840
and he never lifted either. And now we're junk. So just a piss poor move on his execution.
00:19:47.840
When situations like this happen, Bubba, at this speed, is retaliation an acceptable thing?
00:19:52.960
Stop fishing. Stop fishing. I'm not fishing. I'm just asking you. Let's also talk about
00:19:57.540
the message you wanted to send to Kyle by going up to him after the incident.
00:20:02.760
He knows. He knows that what he did was wrong. He wanted to question what I was doing. He never
00:20:07.440
cleared me. So just hate it for our team. Our McDonald's Toyota Camry was super solid.
00:20:12.500
Just needed to find a little bit on the short run, get the balance where we needed it. And
00:20:15.400
it would have been just like Kansas. But now that car's jumping.
00:20:17.540
There's always unintended consequences when something like this happens. Christopher Bell was
00:20:21.540
a part of that. Clearly a Toyota teammate and a playoff driver. Your reaction to that?
00:20:29.680
Okay. So he says, the reporter, stop fishing. Stop fishing. He's asking you questions about
00:20:35.880
what you just did. I mean, he's fishing for an answer by directly asking you. So apparently
00:20:40.700
no big surprise. Wallace has a reputation for being an enormous brat and a crybaby. Although
00:20:46.220
now he's escalated to actually trying to murder his fellow drivers because he's upset. He had
00:20:51.040
this reputation, in fairness, before he was traumatized by a garage door, which only makes their
00:20:56.360
humoring of him during that incident all the more egregious. They knew that he was an attention
00:21:02.080
starved prima donna and they went along with it anyway. And now he's basically empowered
00:21:07.660
to do whatever he wants, act how he wants because of the victim points that the incident afforded
00:21:12.700
him. And he's probably, McDonald's won't even drop him. You got McDonald's logo on his uniform
00:21:19.640
on his car while he's trying to kill somebody. And is that going to mean that McDonald's will
00:21:23.260
drop him? No, they won't. They can't because of the victim points. Victim points that he somehow
00:21:28.600
retained, despite the fact that everyone knows that it was a hoax with the garage door. That was
00:21:35.720
confirmed. They sent 15 FBI agents to investigate. And even they couldn't find a reason to call it a
00:21:41.360
hate crime. They weren't there to investigate. They were there. They were PR. Okay. This was a public
00:21:45.860
relations crisis. And they sent the FBI there as a PR move. And they were trying to figure out how can
00:21:51.480
we bail Bubba Wallace out of this? How can we come up with some way to call this a hate crime? And
00:21:57.260
even they couldn't do it, despite their best efforts. Speaking of law enforcement, you'd think
00:22:03.880
again, if law enforcement was going to get involved in a NASCAR related incident, it would be here where
00:22:08.100
a driver smashes his car into someone else intentionally trying to cause an accident. But that again won't
00:22:14.000
happen because of Bubba Wallace's victim points. So this is a good lesson for us. It shows us once
00:22:20.520
again what happens when we empower these cry bullies. This is what happens when we vindicate and validate
00:22:29.240
a person's feelings of entitlement. Bubba Wallace, it's pretty clear, is someone who has never been told
00:22:35.780
no in his life. Just like Jussie Smollett. You don't end up acting this way.
00:22:41.980
If you've been told no. He's never had the character building experience of being told no.
00:22:49.860
And without that character building experience, you have no character. You can't have character,
00:22:54.220
integrity, dignity as a man. If you don't know how to deal with frustration, loss, defeat.
00:22:59.600
I guarantee Bubba Wallace, he was the kind of kid who would like fall and scrape his knee and start
00:23:04.360
crying hysterically. And rather than having a dad who would say, hey son, you're fine. Rub some dirt on
00:23:09.100
it. You're fine. Get up. You'll be okay. Just run it off. Rather than having that, he was fond and
00:23:13.940
pampered over. And he learned that as long as he is upset or sad or pretending to be, he gets all the
00:23:20.320
attention he wants and that with attention he gets power. Attention is power. And he's brought that
00:23:24.960
strategy with him into his adult life. And now look at him. The only remedy is the word no. The only cure
00:23:33.140
to force people like this to confront harsh realities is just to tell him no. They come
00:23:38.700
along crying about the garage door pole, pretending that they're a victim of racism. You say, no,
00:23:42.620
you're not. Just, no, get over yourself. Yeah, but I feel like I am. It still hurts me. Yeah,
00:23:48.340
that's your problem. I really don't care. Grow up, Bubba. Just grow up. But he wasn't told that. In fact,
00:23:56.300
if I remember that incident correctly, even after it was revealed, because it was pretty quickly,
00:24:03.220
it was revealed that that whole thing was not real. And like, those of us with two brain cells
00:24:08.480
in our heads, we knew from the beginning, even before the photo came out or there was any
00:24:15.220
investigation, the moment we heard that someone planted a noose in a NASCAR garage, the moment we
00:24:22.680
heard that. We're like, no, that didn't happen. It's just, it didn't happen. But then, but then
00:24:27.800
very quickly was confirmed that it wasn't a noose. And yet NASCAR even still said that they were going
00:24:35.480
to mandate sensitivity training and unconscious bias awareness training for their employees.
00:24:43.360
Even in spite of the fact that it was just a rope to pull up and down the garage.
00:24:48.680
And you ended up with this self-entitled brat. All right. Here's a story from the Daily Wire.
00:24:57.000
And this is kind of exciting because I have the physical, they handed me this. This literally just
00:25:00.740
came across my desk. I have the physical paper with the story. Just feels a lot more official
00:25:05.120
when you read it from here. This is actually important. So this is a headline, Vanderbilt
00:25:10.700
insiders fear transgender surgeries on minors will resume. It says some employees at a top Tennessee
00:25:17.500
hospital were relieved to learn last week that it will freeze transgender surgeries on minors,
00:25:21.820
but told the Daily Wire only a law can ensure the practice, which can include the removal of a minor
00:25:26.200
girl's breast ends for good. Vanderbilt University Medical Center suspended pediatric gender surgeries
00:25:31.360
under pressure from state lawmakers. But three medical professionals who work or have worked at VUMC,
00:25:36.920
all speaking on the condition of anonymity, were skeptical that the pause would become permanent.
00:25:41.640
One source told the Daily Wire, quote, Vanderbilt is a liberal led institution. Anytime anybody
00:25:46.540
let's pressure off, they'll continue to push these types of procedures. A second source said it won't
00:25:51.860
stop until it's banned by law in this state. Last month, the footage shared by the Daily Wire's Matt
00:25:58.860
Walsh of a VUMC doctor referring to irreversible transgender surgeries as huge money makers prompted
00:26:03.300
the sources to come forward. Each source said that they were extremely uncomfortable with transgender
00:26:07.980
surgeries on minors being performed at the hospital and that many of their colleagues were as well,
00:26:12.480
but feared retaliation from the hospital if they were able, if they were to speak up with their
00:26:17.220
name attached to it. A third source said, quote, many of us aren't okay with what's happening. So
00:26:22.240
these are sources at Vanderbilt who work there. But still, even though Vanderbilt has said that they're
00:26:27.820
pausing these procedures, still the people working there who are sources don't feel that they can't
00:26:34.020
say anything publicly because of the consequences that were alluded to in one of those videos that
00:26:43.180
we revealed. In a statement announcing the pause, VUMC said they've performed double mastectomy
00:26:48.540
surgeries on girls at least 16 years of age on an average of five per year since their pediatric
00:26:53.240
gender clinic's inception in 2018. But a source told the Daily Wire that they have firsthand knowledge
00:26:57.980
that at least 10 minors have received double mastectomies this year, which is double what VUMC
00:27:02.920
says is their average. The Daily Wire has not been able to independently confirm these figures.
00:27:07.260
So these are people, again, working at Vanderbilt who say that Vanderbilt's claims that they're
00:27:16.180
pausing the procedures and all indications are that they are right now, which is a big victory
00:27:21.840
because it is going to save in real time and in real terms, it's going to save children right now
00:27:27.220
from being mutilated. Big victory, big deal. But there's no reason to think that the pause will
00:27:34.780
be permanent unless the law is changed. And we do also know that, well, at least according to one
00:27:39.740
source, what Vanderbilt claimed in their letter saying that they're going to pause, what they claimed
00:27:45.820
does not comport with the facts. So what does that mean? It means that we have to keep our foot on the
00:27:53.400
gas. There's no reason to let up. Quite the opposite. Which is why I hope to see you at our
00:27:58.860
rally, which is on Friday. Again, this is Friday, October 21st at the state capitol here in Nashville.
00:28:05.180
It'll be at four o'clock. So we need as many people there as we can get. And this is about
00:28:12.780
showing lawmakers, showing the country. I mean, showing all politicians, showing the culture that
00:28:19.420
people care about this. This is just unacceptable. We are not going to tolerate this. We're not going
00:28:25.520
to tolerate it in this state. We're not going to tolerate it anymore. So we hope to see you there on
00:28:29.940
Friday. All right. You may think that it seems like the economy is in rough shape, but Biden,
00:28:36.300
while chomping on his ice cream, says that actually that the economy is, as he puts it,
00:28:46.780
One more economic order. Are you concerned about the strength of the dollar right now?
00:28:53.940
I'm not concerned about the strength of the dollar. I'm concerned about the rest of the world.
00:29:02.220
Yes. Our economy is strong as hell in the internal. Inflation is worldwide.
00:29:08.880
Okay. Well, hard to understand what you're saying there, because you've got a mouthful
00:29:31.780
of ice cream and also there's all the noise in the background. But he says that the economy
00:29:34.820
is strong as hell. You know, here's the thing. I don't need politicians to pretend
00:29:39.200
that they feel our pain. I don't need to feel like they're just one of the common men in everyday
00:29:46.420
American, as they like to say. I don't need for a politician to be the kind of guy that I want to
00:29:51.760
have a beer with. We always hear about that, especially around election time. Oh, what's,
00:29:55.220
which, which, you know, voters want to vote for the guy who they feel like they can sit down and
00:29:59.480
have a beer with. I don't care about that. I wouldn't want to have a beer with any of these people,
00:30:02.800
even the good ones. I'm not sure I'd really want to sit down and have a beer with them.
00:30:06.340
So I don't need that, but I do need to see that they at least intellectually, in theory,
00:30:14.940
understand and appreciate the severity of the problems that Americans face.
00:30:22.800
I already know that they're insulated for most of those problems, especially politicians in DC.
00:30:27.900
Most of them are independently wealthy and they, you know, so they don't have to worry about the
00:30:32.920
economy. They don't live in the, in the parts of town that are, you know, gripped by a violent
00:30:40.080
crime epidemic. So they don't have to worry about that. Plus they have armed security all the time.
00:30:43.500
So I know that they're insulated from it, but do they at least understand intellectually this is
00:30:48.040
happening? I need to see some sign of urgency. And with Biden and the rest of the Democrats,
00:30:54.320
there is simply none of that. They don't care. They deny that it's a problem. They fluctuate
00:31:04.200
between denying the problem exists. And then sometimes they'll say, well, yeah, the problem
00:31:08.020
exists, but it's actually a good thing. But what the undercurrent running underneath all of that is
00:31:14.860
that they just, they just don't care. And it's, it's not even that their, their solutions to these
00:31:20.820
problems are bad or counterproductive. It's that they don't, there are none. They're not even
00:31:25.880
trying to solve the problems. Here's a really interesting article from Bjorn Lomberg in the
00:31:33.200
Financial Post. He says, it's easy to believe life on earth is getting ever worse. The media
00:31:39.340
constantly highlights one catastrophe after another and makes terrifying predictions. With the never ending
00:31:45.460
torrent of doom and gloom about climate change and the environment, it's understandable by many people,
00:31:49.700
especially the young, genuinely believe the world is about to end. But the fact is that though
00:31:54.800
problems remain, the world is getting better. We just rarely hear about it. We are incessantly
00:31:59.080
told about disasters, whether it's the latest heat wave, flood, wildfire, or storm. Yet the data
00:32:03.520
overwhelmingly shows that over the past century, people have become much, much safer from all these
00:32:08.080
weather events. In the 1920s, around half of a million people were killed by weather disasters,
00:32:13.560
whereas in the last decade, the death toll averaged around 18,000. This year, like both 2020 and 2021,
00:32:19.480
is tracking below that. Why? Because when people get richer, they get more resilient.
00:32:23.820
But it's not only weather disasters that are getting less damaging despite dire predictions.
00:32:27.580
A decade ago, environmentalists loudly declared that Australia's magnificent Great Barrier Reef was
00:32:32.160
nearly dead, killed by bleaching caused by climate change. The Guardian newspaper even published an
00:32:36.460
obituary to it. This year, scientists revealed that two-thirds of the Great Barrier Reef shows the
00:32:41.120
highest coral cover seen since the records began in 1985. The Good News report got a fraction of the
00:32:46.800
attention the bad news did. Not long ago, environmentalists constantly used pictures
00:32:52.440
of polar bears to highlight the dangers of climate change. Polar bears even featured in Al Gore's
00:32:57.120
terrifying movie, An Inconvenient Truth. But the reality is that polar bear numbers have been
00:33:01.040
increasing from somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 polar bears in the 1960s up to around 26,000 today.
00:33:07.200
We don't hear this news, however. Instead, campaigners just quietly stopped using polar bears in their
00:33:11.720
activism. Okay, this is the part that really interested me because I didn't know that either.
00:33:17.800
Like most people, I don't keep track of polar bear news. And so this is just something I remember
00:33:23.900
hearing about this since I was a kid. Polar bears are almost extinct. And I just kind of had that
00:33:27.640
bouncing around in my head. I hadn't really looked into it. And it turns out that the polar bear
00:33:32.340
situation is much better than it used to be. He goes on to list other indications of improvement in
00:33:36.540
terms of climate and economy. But the bit about the polar bear is fascinating because he's right.
00:33:40.040
We heard incessantly about the polar bear crisis, their pending extinction. And then suddenly
00:33:46.280
the chicken littles on this particular topic just stopped talking about it. Nobody ever came around
00:33:53.300
and said, hey, good news, everybody. Polar bear situation is fine now. You can stop worrying about
00:33:58.760
polar bears. I've spent the last, I've spent 36 years of my life worrying deeply about polar bears.
00:34:07.180
I wake up every morning worried about the polar bear situation. No one ever told me that they're
00:34:12.640
actually doing okay. This is what they do. They just stop talking about it. They move on to the next
00:34:17.480
crisis. You hear about the problem and then you stop hearing about the problem, but you're never told
00:34:24.000
that the problem was solved. And what is the effect? The effect is that our minds are just assaulted
00:34:32.560
by panic and doom 24-7. And they never give you the glimmer of light at the end. So you have the
00:34:41.580
problem, the problem, the problem. And then at the end you should have, oh, here's the good news. Here's
00:34:46.160
what happened with that. But we're going to leap from that to the next one.
00:34:49.560
And, you know, here's the thing that there are always crises in the world. There's always an
00:35:00.860
impending Armageddon. There's always going to be. If you live on planet Earth, there are always really
00:35:08.880
bad things happening. There's always the potential for disaster lurking around the corner. It could come
00:35:17.580
in many different forms that always exist. You know, there are always going to be species of
00:35:25.440
animals that are either on the verge of extinction or actually have gone extinct. Like 99% of all
00:35:33.860
animals who ever lived on Earth went extinct before human civilization existed. So you're always going
00:35:40.080
to have that. It's never going to go away. You're always going to have animals going extinct. You're
00:35:43.500
always going to have natural disasters. You're also always going to have viruses that are out there
00:35:48.540
that could become epidemics or pandemics. All of that stuff is always there. It's just a question
00:35:56.360
of focus. What do you choose to focus on? And in our culture, in the media age, it's the media that
00:36:04.040
decides what we focus on. And this is really, this is the nature of media propaganda much of the time.
00:36:10.980
Now, yeah, they do. We hear about fake news and they do invent stories sometimes. And then there
00:36:16.940
are other stories that are half invented and half not. You know, they kind of fictionalize.
00:36:21.140
It's sort of based on a true story. But much of what they tell us is basically true. It's just,
00:36:30.300
but the fake news part of it comes in from what they choose to focus on.
00:36:35.060
So they're giving you bits of information that might be mostly accurate. But the question is,
00:36:43.700
what are they leaving out? And that's the way it generally works. All right. This is from Yahoo.
00:36:53.480
The latest environmentalist trend is here, pouring out milk in grocery stores. All across the UK,
00:36:59.600
teenagers concerned about the environment are doing milk pours. The new trend involves going
00:37:04.600
into grocery stores, picking up cartons of cow-produced milk, and pouring out their contents,
00:37:10.880
according to animal rights group Animal Rebellion. Videos that have popped up on social media show
00:37:15.640
teens pouring milk onto the floor over sales counters and elsewhere in the store.
00:37:19.560
This group says, quote, the dairy industry is incredibly environmentally destructive. The world's
00:37:26.720
top five meat and dairy corporations are now responsible for more GHG emissions than Exxon Shell
00:37:32.800
or BP. We need a plant-based future now. Now, so we just saw on Friday those self-entitled
00:37:43.580
environmentalist brats who, you know, went to an art gallery and poured tomato soup on a Van Gogh
00:37:50.180
painting. And now they've moved on to this. Let's watch one of these videos here.
00:37:54.440
They're allowed to stay in there and simply dump all the milk out. No one is stopping. Okay,
00:38:18.440
here's one guy. It looks like he's going to stop him. He's trying to reason with them, but they're
00:38:26.160
not, they don't care. Oh, and he's just going to walk away. Oh, he is an employee. He's got the
00:38:37.300
headset on. Okay, how about actual security? Come and grab these girls and drag them out. That's one
00:38:45.320
strategy we could think about. I just want to keep watching to see if, does anyone drag these? No,
00:38:53.320
they don't. No one takes them out. They're allowed to. So you've got the British store clerks there
00:39:01.180
very politely. Hey, would you, would you mind? No, they're just going to ignore him.
00:39:06.920
This is the theme today. Self-entitled brats who suffer no consequences.
00:39:10.120
And you know something else about this left-wing activism, especially when, especially left-wing
00:39:17.120
environmental activism, the people who suffer the most from it, the people who have to pay the
00:39:21.560
consequences for it. It's always like minimum wage, blue collar workers. Cause there's a, there's a,
00:39:28.800
you know, a janitor at that grocery store who's going to have to clean all that up. That's the only
00:39:33.620
person you're punishing. You're not punishing the dairy farms, but they've already getting,
00:39:40.380
they already made their money off of that. The only person you're punishing is the janitor who
00:39:45.520
now has to go and clean up all the milk. Same thing with the environmentalists when they go and
00:39:50.920
they, they, they clog up traffic. Who are you punishing when you clog up traffic? You sit in
00:39:54.920
the middle of the street, not punishing the oil companies, you're punishing people that have to
00:40:03.680
get to work. And the frustrating thing is that all of this could be easily solved, could be easily
00:40:11.620
solved with consequences. You know, the only reason why these people do this is because they know that
00:40:18.980
there's not going to be any serious consequences. You start putting serious consequences in place and
00:40:24.520
most of this just goes away. And that's the case with environmentalist vandalism. That's the case
00:40:32.820
with most of the crime in the cities, serious consequences. And this stuff stops. What's the
00:40:39.020
consequence here? First of all, you physically drag them out. And then for them, you put them in jail
00:40:45.020
for, I don't know, for them, you know, like probably a month would do it. Severe fine, give them some jail
00:40:54.000
time, drag them out. We're not doing that again. No consequences at all. And you end up with this
00:41:02.700
and you're going to get a lot more of it too. Now let's get to our comment section.
00:41:06.800
And he says, luckily the Van Gogh painting is okay. Also those two have been arrested. Hopefully
00:41:22.760
they get charged for a good amount of time for vandalism. Okay. It's, it's good if they were
00:41:29.120
able to salvage the painting. I hadn't heard that. So that's good news. I would expect that they were
00:41:35.340
at least arrested. Okay. We're not quite at the point where you could do that and not even be
00:41:40.680
arrested for it. But yeah, they were arrested. The question is, do they actually get prison time
00:41:44.080
for it? And I find that really hard to believe. There should be, there should be serious prison
00:41:48.680
time. I said on Friday, 15 years in prison. I didn't mean that as a joke. You are attempting to
00:41:56.300
damage something that is priceless. And a society that is serious about itself, about its art, about
00:42:06.620
its culture, its history would bring down the hammer on people like that. But I just don't see it
00:42:12.520
happening. Daniel says, Matt, are you practicing your WNBA cheerleader cheers? Yeah. I mean, no,
00:42:19.880
I'm not practicing them. Does the WNBA even have cheerleaders? I wasn't aware of that.
00:42:23.240
If they do, I have to assume that they recruit their cheerleaders from acting schools because
00:42:27.240
it would take a real acting performance to pretend that you're excited about the WNBA each night.
00:42:33.880
But I guess I'll, I don't know, I'll find out if they have cheerleaders because I am certainly going
00:42:37.340
to come in last place in our fantasy football league. And I have to admit that I am deeply regretting
00:42:43.040
my life choices at this point. I knew that I wouldn't update my team or pay attention to it. I knew
00:42:49.900
that going in. I said that. I said that all along. And I followed through. I followed through on not
00:42:55.660
following through on fantasy football, which is what I said would happen. And at first, when it was
00:43:01.820
this idea of the loser has to go to WNBA game, when it was just an idea and it was a hypothetical,
00:43:10.540
I, you know, I sort of resigned myself to it. And I thought it was a funny idea. There's no question
00:43:16.340
about it. Yet now it's closely becoming an actual reality. And I'm feeling this kind of creeping
00:43:21.800
dread. Oh, I'm being told that WNBA does have cheerleaders. Okay. Are they female or is it a,
00:43:26.600
do they do male cheerleaders for the males and females? Okay. Tough job. Not a job I'd want to do.
00:43:33.960
The worst part though, about this, you have to understand is that the nearest WNBA team,
00:43:39.260
this is the other thing. I didn't realize this when we originally agreed to the WNBA punishment.
00:43:44.340
I didn't realize that the nearest WNBA team is like five hours away. So this isn't even just a
00:43:51.040
quick joke where you head down to the local WNBA stadium and you're back in a few hours.
00:43:56.620
I thought that's what it would be. I thought, I figured that the WNBA, they play their games
00:44:00.820
down at the local YMCA gymnasium and, and you go, you're there back in two hours because obviously
00:44:07.520
you don't have to worry about crowds or traffic or anything like that. But now it, now I realize it's,
00:44:12.440
it's going to be like a two day excursion. This is an overnight deal. I'm going to have to leave
00:44:18.580
for the night. And how am I going to explain that to my wife? So she has to stay back with the kids
00:44:25.620
so that I can go to a WNBA game because I lost a fantasy football league.
00:44:31.320
So not only do I have to go to a WNBA game, but I'm going to have to, I'm going to have an annoyed
00:44:36.820
wife to deal with on top of it. It's just, it's not, it's not fair. Maybe I could send my wife
00:44:43.140
instead. Could she pinch it for me? Although I wouldn't want to do that because then she might
00:44:48.920
enjoy it somehow. She might come back and she's now like a big WNBA fan. And so then I've, I've
00:44:53.960
replaced a, a night of misery for a lifetime of pain. And so I can't do that. I'm just stuck with it.
00:44:59.040
There's nothing I can do. Drinkwater says, as a student at UH, I appreciate you coming.
00:45:05.740
I appreciate you for coming to speak, Matt. Left-wing students are livid on campus right now.
00:45:10.100
It's hilarious, but also sad to see. As far as I can tell, the student body in this university is
00:45:14.360
largely left-wing. So me and other conservatives get called names if we go against their agenda.
00:45:18.540
I'm lucky enough to be a person of color. So they don't always call me a KKK member as much as they do
00:45:24.060
some other white conservative students. I'm sorry these people made us look so bad. Also,
00:45:29.040
somehow the anti-transphobia group is calling their work last night a success,
00:45:35.280
even though all they did is act like children whining and screaming about fascism when they're
00:45:40.120
in fact the real fascists. Why is it so much to ask for them to just leave others, especially kids
00:45:45.340
alone? Well, if you could send me, so I didn't realize this, so it doesn't surprise me, but the
00:45:49.660
left-wing groups at University of Houston, I guess they're spiking the football and saying
00:45:54.760
it was a big success. If you have any screenshots of that, I'd love to see it so I could join in the
00:45:59.060
laugh. The event happened. We had hundreds of people there, sold out crowd, and it was great.
00:46:08.420
And then we went home. It was fine. That's a success for them. All right. If that's the kind
00:46:14.300
of success, you want to claim for yourself, I won't take it away from you. Jeremy's Razors is

00:46:49.240
cancellation. Today for our daily cancellation, I must come to the defense of a fellow YouTuber
00:46:57.860
and commentator. Sydney Watson was the subject of internet outrage over the weekend and generated
00:47:03.700
critical headlines in the media after she complained about her experience on an American Airlines flight
00:47:09.800
where she was stuck for several hours between two morbidly obese passengers. Now it all began with
00:47:15.380
this tweet thread published in Helpless Anguish a few days ago in which Watson writes, quote,
00:47:21.860
I am currently literally wedged between two obese people on my flight. This is absolutely not acceptable
00:47:27.460
or okay. If fat people want to be fat, fine. But it's something else entirely when I'm stuck
00:47:33.380
between you with your arm rolls on my body for three hours. She continues, I don't care if this is
00:47:39.040
mean. My entire body is currently being touched against my wishes. I can't even put the armrest
00:47:43.580
down on either side because there's no effing room. I'm sick of acting like fatness to this extent
00:47:48.760
is normal. Let me assure you, it is not. I'm so effing mad. I don't even have words. If you need a
00:47:53.540
seatbelt extender, you are too fat to be on a plane. Buy two seats or don't fly. I said to the man,
00:47:59.280
hey, we can swap seats if you'd like to sit together. His sister is on my left. He says,
00:48:03.700
no, that's okay. And then I started shrieking internally. Now in photos taken secretly,
00:48:11.020
though not revealing the other passengers' faces, you can actually see that their bodies are in fact
00:48:15.820
spilling over into her seat, squeezing her in on either side. In fact, they have so much oversized
00:48:22.160
baggage attached to their physical frames that Watson can't even put her tray table down.
00:48:27.460
There's another photo of her trying to put the tray table down and one of their stomachs is like
00:48:31.260
in the way and she can't put it down. This is very much like the scene in Star Wars where Luke and
00:48:36.480
Leia wind up in a trash compactor that nearly crushes them to death. Except in this case,
00:48:41.340
the trash compactor is made out of sweaty human flesh and thus is far more horrifying.
00:48:45.820
Also, if memory serves me, I think C-3PO bailed them out of that jam, but Sidney Watson had no one to
00:48:51.500
rescue her. Not even after the fact, when American Airlines responded to her complaints with this,
00:48:56.880
this was their response, their official company response. Quote, our passengers come in all
00:49:01.960
different sizes and shapes. We're sorry you were uncomfortable on your flight, period.
00:49:07.480
Of course, if your luggage weighs one pound over 50, American Airlines will charge you a hundred extra
00:49:14.060
dollars. If it weighs over a hundred pounds, you can't bring it on the flight at all.
00:49:17.780
Now, so luggage is not allowed to come in all shapes and sizes, but a passenger can take up
00:49:22.840
one and a half seats and the poor sap who gets stuck with the half seat just has to deal with
00:49:28.360
it apparently. This is the view of American Airlines and of the American media, which as mentioned,
00:49:33.920
blasted Watson for fat shaming the bulbous individuals who nearly suffocated her. But as always,
00:49:39.740
the media and the outrage mob have gotten this one entirely wrong. It is perfectly reasonable
00:49:45.840
and appropriate for Sidney Watson to complain about this. And the reason why it's reasonable is very
00:49:53.200
simple. She paid for a seat on the airplane. She paid for the entire width of the seat.
00:50:02.400
She paid for the privilege of occupying that assigned space. And she paid a lot of money. Even if it's a
00:50:08.880
crappy middle seat, she still paid a lot of money because flying is not cheap. The obese people on either
00:50:15.220
side of her are taking space that does not belong to them and that they did not pay for. So she is
00:50:22.780
indeed the aggrieved party in this case. She is entirely in the right. In fact, she is obviously
00:50:28.900
self-evidently in the right. It is absurd to expect a person to simply be okay with having someone else's
00:50:37.300
body, two people's bodies as it happens, wedged against theirs for several hours in a row.
00:50:41.780
You're flying on a plane, not attending an orgy. This kind of physical intimacy should not be part
00:50:48.300
of the bargain. It's only become a standard feature of the air travel experience because for one thing,
00:50:53.940
the airlines treat their passengers like livestock. And for another, so many passengers these days in
00:50:59.320
terms of size are not far off from livestock. No offense. It's an untenable situation. Made all the
00:51:06.800
worse when it's cloaked in the language of body positivity. But really, it's got nothing to do
00:51:11.680
with any of that. This all stems from a total lack of concern for fairness, for health, and for the
00:51:19.640
comfort and well-being of paying customers. And it's also a symptom of a common problem in our culture.
00:51:26.380
One that we talk about a lot on this show, where time and time again, we encounter a situation
00:51:31.520
where somebody has to be out of luck. It's a zero-sum kind of contest. Someone has to be
00:51:39.200
inconvenienced. Someone has to be made uncomfortable. Someone has to be the loser in
00:51:44.680
the situation. And when that happens, we always choose the wrong person to lose. We always give
00:51:50.700
the short straw to the exact person who should not be forced to draw it. And we do this without even
00:51:56.660
acknowledging that we're doing it. In the case of air travel, we can either require that morbidly
00:52:03.900
obese people pay for first class or for multiple seats, or simply forbid them from buying tickets at
00:52:09.700
all if they can't fit into one seat. Or we can force normal-sized customers to give up a third or
00:52:16.620
half of their seats and have their personal space invaded and be unable to use the features of the plane
00:52:22.540
they paid for and forced them to be uncomfortable and miserable for the entirety of their flight.
00:52:28.400
Those are the two options. It has to be one or the other. The morbidly obese passenger creates a
00:52:35.140
situation where someone has to be the loser. Someone has to come out on bottom. Someone has to be
00:52:42.320
inconvenienced. And it's incredibly obvious that the someone in this case should be the morbidly obese
00:52:48.940
passenger who has created the situation in the first place. But instead, just as we do with boys
00:52:55.800
who want to access the girls' locker room and with many other similar situations, we say that the person
00:53:01.000
creating the problem should be exempt from its consequences, while innocent bystanders should
00:53:07.340
be forced to bear the burden. It's completely backwards and ridiculous. That's the situation.
00:53:14.420
That's the thing. When you are morbidly obese and you get on an airplane, you are creating
00:53:24.040
a situation that didn't exist before. And someone's going to have to suffer the consequences,
00:53:30.300
unfortunately, for that. Now, I say this even though I do have sympathy for morbidly obese people.
00:53:35.360
I wouldn't want to be in that sort of physical state myself. But the reality is that it's a physical
00:53:41.160
state you have to put yourself in. Nobody who exerts even the mildest effort to eat healthy
00:53:48.300
and exercise will end up 200 pounds overweight. It might be difficult to, if you want to stay in
00:53:54.700
good shape, especially as you get older, yeah, that takes sacrifice. That's difficult.
00:53:59.900
But to simply not be 200 pounds overweight, that takes very little effort. Now, if it's your choice
00:54:07.080
to live that way, it's your choice to shoulder the consequences. You can't demand that other people
00:54:12.980
shoulder it for you. And that is why Sidney Watson is not canceled today, but her critics, in fact,
00:54:21.340
are. And that'll do it for this portion of the show as we move over to the members block.
00:54:25.160
Hope to see you there. If not, talk to you tomorrow. Godspeed.
