00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the White House makes revisions to the Declaration of Independence
00:00:04.240 in support of abortion rights, quote unquote. A major mass shooting falls rapidly out of the
00:00:08.540 headlines when the left's assumptions about the killer's motives prove to be unfounded.
00:00:12.300 Tony Dungy, one of the least offensive people on the planet, is condemned as a rabid extremist
00:00:17.260 when he reveals himself to be a conservative Christian. The state of Arkansas bans the word
00:00:21.020 latinx from its official documents, and a woman films and publicly shames a man who she says
00:00:26.100 harassed and traumatized her at the gym. But the footage shows something else entirely.
00:00:31.020 We'll talk about all that and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:10.540 This weekend marked the 50th anniversary of the Roe versus Wade decision. And for the past half
00:01:15.940 century, of course, Roe anniversaries have been solemn occasions, times for sorrow and grief,
00:01:20.660 and for a renewed resolve to bring an end to this holocaust of the unborn. But of course,
00:01:25.340 this year, it was a little different. Roe was overturned. The decision has been tossed onto
00:01:29.820 history's proverbial ash heap. And so the occasion took on a more celebratory and triumphant tone.
00:01:36.140 That is, celebratory and triumphant for everyone except for the genocidal butchers and their
00:01:41.300 supporters who instead spent the weekend deeply mourning the fact that more babies are being born
00:01:46.760 and fewer are being killed. Very upset about that. This was the theme of Vice President
00:01:51.940 Kamala Harris's speech to mark the event in Tallahassee on Sunday. And her speech was notable
00:01:57.540 for one thing, for being basically coherent, a standard that she rarely meets in any public
00:02:03.200 address. It would seem that her thirst for the blood of the unborn has the effect of focusing her
00:02:08.540 mind and allowing her to string together multiple sentences in a row that, while vapid and stupid,
00:02:13.400 at least resemble human language. So she's able to do that much at least. Yet the most revealing
00:02:18.700 thing in Kamala's speech isn't what she said, but what she omitted. Listen.
00:02:25.320 I am honored to be with members of the United States Congress who are here,
00:02:30.400 state and local elected officials.
00:02:32.580 and all of the coalition partners who are represented here.
00:02:45.500 So we are here together because we collectively believe and know that the
00:03:02.580 government is a promise. America is a promise. It is a promise of freedom and liberty,
00:03:15.500 not for some, but for all.
00:03:18.560 A promise we made in the Declaration of Independence, that we are each endowed with the
00:03:32.560 right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
00:03:41.300 Be clear. These rights were not bestowed upon us. They belong to us as Americans.
00:03:49.340 Yes. Well, I don't mean to be a stickler for details, but there seems to be something missing
00:03:56.100 here. A couple of things. In fact, the vice president in these prepared remarks composed
00:04:00.200 by White House speechwriters mentions two of the three fundamental human rights outlined by the
00:04:06.480 Declaration of Independence, but leaves out the first one that the Declaration lists. The White House
00:04:11.680 specifically decided not to mention that we have the right to life, which precedes our right to liberty
00:04:18.060 and to the pursuit of happiness. After all, we cannot have liberty, and we certainly can't have happiness
00:04:23.660 or even pursue it if we don't first, you know, exist. The value and dignity of human life must come before
00:04:31.440 any other right or liberty. Those other rights or liberties must, in fact, be grounded in the inherent value
00:04:37.440 and dignity of human life, or else they're grounded in nothing and can be swept away like, you know,
00:04:41.860 crumbs on the floor. Not incidentally, this is exactly what the administration intends to do with
00:04:47.440 our rights and has been doing. You notice that Harris also chose to skip over the source of these
00:04:53.700 rights. So she says that we are endowed with them, but doesn't mention who has endowed them.
00:04:58.760 The Declaration mentions that. Now, endow means to provide or to give. This necessitates a provider,
00:05:06.640 a giver. In the next sentence, she says that, she says, to be clear, these rights were not bestowed on
00:05:13.540 us, but rather belong to us. Except that endow means to bestow. That's what it means. They're synonyms.
00:05:21.740 Saying the rights were endowed, not bestowed, it's like saying, well, I drove a car to work,
00:05:26.120 not a vehicle. It's a distinction without a difference. We can only assume then, from the
00:05:32.320 context, that Kamala means that the rights were not bestowed on us by the government or any man-made
00:05:37.040 entity. They are not rights that can be fundamentally created by political act or by vote.
00:05:44.620 She would have to believe this in order to complain about rights being taken away by government
00:05:48.480 authorities. If rights are given to us by the government, then it makes no sense to complain when
00:05:52.880 that same authority removes them. We could advocate for the restoration of those rights that we want,
00:05:58.140 but we couldn't act injured or offended or like something that belongs to us has been taken away.
00:06:03.640 If rights are entirely created by the government, then the government has the absolute authority to
00:06:09.680 abolish them whenever it so chooses. And we have no logical or moral basis upon which to complain about
00:06:15.900 it. That's all true, and Kamala Harris recognizes it. She sees the problem with a conception of human
00:06:23.300 rights that relies entirely on governmental authorities, but she also rejects the only
00:06:27.700 coherent solution to this problem, the solution that our founding fathers came up with. They didn't
00:06:33.100 come up with it, rather, but this is what they believed. If the rights are endowed, and if because
00:06:39.960 of this endowment, they now belong to us in such a way that even our political leaders don't have the
00:06:44.620 moral authority to take them away, then that would mean a higher authority has given them to us. That
00:06:49.020 would mean the, that would be the creator that the declaration mentions. But Harris skips over the
00:06:54.920 creator part because she knows that any recognition of a creator leads inevitably to the conclusion that
00:06:59.900 we are created beings, which would mean that every life in the womb is a product of this same divine
00:07:04.600 creation, which would mean that abortion destroys that which is divinely created. It would also mean that the
00:07:10.760 mother who chooses the abortion is not destroying something that belongs to her, but rather something
00:07:16.500 that belongs to God. And that's a very important distinction that Kamala Harris doesn't want to
00:07:22.140 recognize. You cannot acknowledge the creator without acknowledging first a higher moral order,
00:07:31.160 one that would probably frown upon the mass slaughter of infants, and second, the inherent value of human
00:07:36.740 life, which is precisely the thing that her speech is supposed to militate against. Now, this whole
00:07:43.920 thing, you know, with the speech is sort of being treated as just another patented Kamala Harris flub or
00:07:50.580 gaffe, but it's actually much more than that. Nearly everything you need to know about modern leftism is
00:07:57.060 contained in these few sentences in this one speech. Really contained in the sentences and the words that she
00:08:04.880 left out of it. This is an ideological movement whose adherents cannot even quote the Declaration of
00:08:12.040 Independence without making revisions to it for fear that they might accidentally contradict
00:08:15.960 themselves. And what this really shows is that the leftist project is totally incompatible with the
00:08:24.100 American project. Not merely incompatible, the former seeks to destroy the latter. That is its project.
00:08:30.540 This country is indeed founded on the belief in fundamental human rights and the sacred dignity
00:08:36.920 of the human person who is created by a divine being, by God. None of this works without that belief.
00:08:44.520 It just doesn't work. It's the underlying assumption that the whole tower is built on. Without it, the
00:08:50.900 entire thing comes crashing down. The really significant and probably insurmountable problem that we have in
00:08:58.200 this country is that is that we live in a nation where half of the people, if not more, don't share
00:09:04.220 that assumption. And to make matters worse, many of them don't even really realize that they don't share
00:09:09.320 it. The others, like Kamala Harris, they realize that they don't share the assumption, but they keep up
00:09:14.340 the act anyway, pretending that they do. And so all of our debates in this country are then grounded
00:09:20.880 in a premise that isn't actually shared by both sides of the argument. And then we wonder why the
00:09:28.600 arguments never go anywhere. It's because we're pretending to have a shared premise when we
00:09:34.120 actually don't. Every debate in this country, I mean, it really boils down, or every political debate
00:09:41.020 boils down to figuring out what our rights are. That's what every debate really is. It's what are our
00:09:47.120 rights? Whose rights are they? Every debate is that. But this assumes that rights exist and that
00:09:55.100 they matter. Yet this is an assumption not shared by one side, even if many of them think they do
00:10:00.640 share it. They don't. They go around screaming about their rights, but they don't believe in any higher
00:10:06.480 being that bestowed those rights. They don't believe that the universe has any moral order, which gives
00:10:11.640 any weight to those rights. And they don't believe that rights bearing individuals have any value in the
00:10:15.860 first place. In other words, they can make a claim to rights, but they can't explain why any of us
00:10:22.800 should care about the claim, which is also why it is so hard for us to explain to them why they should
00:10:28.520 care about our rights claims. Now, it's not as though there's ever been unanimous agreement when it comes
00:10:37.580 to human rights. But in the past, the disagreement centered around the question of what our rights are,
00:10:42.640 how they manifest themselves, even which rights belong to which people. But now there is a movement
00:10:48.700 seeking to explode the entire framework. Although not all of them fully understand that that's what
00:10:54.540 they're trying to do. And as always with the left, while they seek to tear the lid off of this concept
00:11:01.140 and empty it of its meaning, they have no new meaning to replace it with. Harris, like any other
00:11:09.400 leftist, she speaks passionately of rights while removing both God and the value of human life
00:11:14.260 from the discussion, thereby making nonsense of the very idea of human rights. And then nonsense is all
00:11:20.780 that remains. They don't give us a new way of thinking about human rights. They don't have some
00:11:27.560 revolutionary new interpretation of our country's founding creed. All they know is that they reject
00:11:34.640 what everyone else believed up until this point. As for what we should believe instead, they have no
00:11:41.320 clue. They uproot the tree and then just leave it there, standing on top of the soil to slowly die
00:11:48.860 and then fall over and crush whoever happens to be standing near it at the time. That's the general
00:11:54.820 leftist approach to everything and to Western civilization itself. And that's what Kamala
00:12:02.380 Harris was saying, even if she didn't say it. Now let's get to our headlines.

00:13:14.280 weekend. And if you want to read or hear anything about it, now's the time to hear about it because
00:13:21.340 it's about to fall out of the headlines, never to return. So the shooting happened in Southern
00:13:27.060 California at an event celebrating the Lunar New Year. So most or all of the victims were Asian,
00:13:33.420 which of course is the fact that the media was very excited about. And they were excited about it.
00:13:38.540 I mean, they were, when I say excited, I use that word intentionally. They're excited when they hear
00:13:44.060 about a mass shooting and, uh, and then they, they look into it and they say, they want to know who
00:13:48.280 the victims are. And, um, if they find out that the victims are, you know, people of color, quote,
00:13:54.140 unquote, they're very excited about it. They're happy. Uh, because then that means that this is
00:13:58.940 something they can potentially use and they don't need to wait for, of course, as we know, any of the
00:14:03.060 other details before they, before they use it. And this is what led many prominent leftists to assume
00:14:08.060 immediately that this was a hate crime against Asians, because why else? There's like, there's
00:14:12.380 no other reason why people who are, who happen to be Asian would be murdered. It's the only possible
00:14:18.780 reason. It's just like with trans people, as we know, uh, the way they count the, the, the, the numbers,
00:14:23.680 every single trans person murdered in a year is the victim of a hate crime because there's no other
00:14:29.300 reason why a trans person would ever be murdered. And this, this apparently is the same with Asians,
00:14:33.800 but no other possible reason must be bigotry, must be a hate crime. And they decided not only that,
00:14:40.060 but, um, it was a hate crime carried out by, uh, a white person. Now, some of the leftists were
00:14:47.880 slightly more subtle in making this connection. Some were more blatant, but just a few examples of the
00:14:53.500 tweets and statements that, that went out, you know, as soon as the shooting occurred, Chuck Schumer says,
00:14:58.460 I'm heartbroken by the news of the shooting in, um, Monterey park amid lunar new year
00:15:02.780 celebrations. I'm praying for the victims, their families, and first responders. We must stand up
00:15:07.440 to bigotry and hate wherever they rear their ugly heads. And we must keep working to stop gun
00:15:12.360 violence. Katie Hobbs, the governor of Arizona said devastated by the news of Monterey park.
00:15:16.980 My heart breaks for the victims, their families and friends, and all those impacted by this gun
00:15:20.280 violence during lunar new year celebrations. These mass shootings can continue in Arizona stands
00:15:24.620 united with the AAPI community against hate. Adam Schiff said 10 dead in Monterey park. I am
00:15:31.540 sickened. A horrific example of needless gun violence with bigotry toward AAPI individuals
00:15:36.360 as a possible motive. So he just, that was less settled. He just came out and said it possible
00:15:41.720 motive. By the way, at this point, no one involved in the investigation, which had been going on at the,
00:15:48.320 you know, at this point for about 45 seconds, nobody officially involved had said anything about
00:15:54.040 hate crime as a possible motive. This is something that he came up with on his own.
00:15:59.280 The families are in my prayers as we seek information by law enforcement.
00:16:02.240 We'll never quit demanding real action on gun safety. And then, uh, of course our friend
00:16:07.020 Cenk over at the Young Turks, not subtle at all. My wife used to work at Monterey park when the mass
00:16:12.940 shooting took place. No one is safe. Republicans are constantly spreading fear about immigrants,
00:16:16.900 crime, and drag queens. But the number one thing that makes us and our children unsafe is their
00:16:21.400 favorite thing in the world, guns. Many more where those came from. That's just a sample.
00:16:27.620 Until the truth, as it sometimes does, unhelpfully intruded onto the scene. Uh, they had the scene,
00:16:36.080 you know, this is what the media does. The police, they, they tape off the crime scene and the media
00:16:40.440 comes in with, with different sort of tape. That's meant to keep the truth reality away from this
00:16:45.620 scene because they've already set their narrative. We don't want any, we don't want any truth here.
00:16:50.680 But the truth came anyway. Here's NBC news with the begrudging update. The gunman in the deadly
00:16:56.940 shooting at a dance hall in Monterey park that left 10 people dead and at least 10 other injuries
00:17:00.760 injured as they celebrated the lunar new year may have been targeting his ex-wife and may have had a
00:17:06.120 history of domestic violence. The city's mayor said on Monday, speaking with NBC news is Kate Snow.
00:17:11.340 Monterey park mayor, Henry Lowe said he believed the ex-wife had been at the star ballroom dance
00:17:16.760 studio when the shooter identified by authorities as who con Tran opened fire at the dance hall.
00:17:23.020 He said there appeared to be a history of domestic violence and it was possible the suspect had been
00:17:26.700 targeting his ex-wife, but did not expand further. So just so you know, who con Tran is not the name
00:17:37.060 of a racist white guy from Alabama or something. This of course is the name of an Asian guy. An
00:17:42.520 older Asian guy as it turns out, the guy's 72 years old and he's now dead from a self-inflicted gunshot
00:17:48.240 wound. This was, it would, it would appear then Asian on Asian crime. Although the Asian part had
00:17:56.660 nothing to do with it, this was a domestic dispute. Um, not a dispute. This was domestic violence,
00:18:02.760 apparently. Now, so a couple of things here. First of all, I personally, I am forgiving of people
00:18:13.220 who, uh, after something happens in the news, they make educated assumptions or guesses, estimations
00:18:23.140 about, about the event without, before all the facts are out, you know, someone who goes, something
00:18:29.060 happens and somebody goes a little too far and they, they say, oh, here's what I think happened.
00:18:33.260 And, but, but their assumption is grounded in their understanding of reality. And they say that
00:18:39.280 it turns out that they were wrong. Now you should, you should wait for more information before saying
00:18:43.240 anything about an event like this. But if you're just discerning something based on an inference
00:18:49.540 from statistics, then I don't think that's too outrageous because most of the time you'll end up
00:18:55.600 being right. What makes the racist white guy, you know, shot up a bunch of Asians theory outrageous
00:19:01.900 is that it was of all explanations, the least likely, the least plausible. So that's the difference
00:19:10.400 between the assumptions that the left tends to make versus really the assumptions that conservatives
00:19:16.080 will sometimes make. So conservatives, anytime there's a crime or mass shooting, conservatives are
00:19:22.360 going to make assumptions. If they make assumptions at all, they're going to, and I'm not saying that
00:19:26.760 we're innocent of making something, but we're going to make assumptions based on statistical
00:19:30.440 realities. We're going to say, well, 95% of the time when something like this happens,
00:19:37.100 here's the cause. And so probably that was the cause this, maybe it ends up being the 5% where
00:19:41.860 that's not the case. But our assumption is not ridiculous. It's not outrageous. It's not even really
00:19:47.660 inappropriate. The left, on the other hand, they make assumptions that are, that are, they go right
00:19:55.460 to the least plausible explanation and they assume that one. They make assumptions that contradict the
00:20:02.500 statistical evidence. In fact, that's a, that's a virtue. This is a form of virtue signaling on the
00:20:09.060 left to deny the statistics, to do the opposite of inferring something based on statistical reality.
00:20:17.660 To infer the opposite based on statistical reality, that's the virtue.
00:20:22.420 And that's what they did here. You know, anytime there's a murder, first of all,
00:20:27.640 any murder, in almost all cases, it's either going to be domestic or drug related or gang or crime
00:20:36.160 related. So it's going to be in the drug gang crime area, or it's going to be something domestic.
00:20:42.100 That is the vast majority of all murders are explained that way.
00:20:44.900 There's only a small sliver of murders that fall outside of that. So it's like, you know,
00:20:50.360 that's almost the entire pie chart. And then there's a little bit of a piece of the pie
00:20:53.580 that can be explained. And then there are other explanations.
00:20:56.180 So if you're going to make any assumption at all, the most logical one, especially with this shoot,
00:21:03.480 if you're going to make any assumption at all, the most logical assumption would have been, well,
00:21:06.280 probably this is someone who knew someone there and, you know, was lashing out. Turns out that's
00:21:11.900 what happened most likely. But even if it is a hate crime, well, if this was someone motivated by
00:21:20.440 hate for Asians, a white guy was the least plausible culprit. So the left is going to the least plausible
00:21:28.420 explanation, which is hate crime. And then within the least plausible explanation, finding the least
00:21:33.660 plausible version of the least plausible explanation. Because if you were going to assume that, if you
00:21:41.440 were just going to assume, oh, this must've been anti-Asian hate crime, well, then you should have
00:21:44.920 assume there was a black guy who did it. Because the vast majority of violence against Asians, I mean,
00:21:49.860 almost all of it is committed by black men. That's the statistical reality. Almost none of the violence
00:21:55.660 against Asians is committed by white people. It almost never happens. So in any given day,
00:22:02.180 if there's anyone in the, in the, the, uh, across the entire nation being assaulted or killed because
00:22:08.560 they're Asian, it's almost certainly not a white guy doing it. Rare number of cases it will be.
00:22:14.920 So they went to the least plausible version of the least plausible explanation. That's what they do.
00:22:21.260 The other thing about this too, though, is that, um, when you notice about situations like this,
00:22:25.920 as this, this story, as I said, it's going to fall out of the news cycle. Yeah. They still have the
00:22:29.860 gun violence angle and they'll play that up a little bit, but they don't, you know, they, that,
00:22:34.420 that, that to them is not as juicy as the hate crime. You know, it's a white person that,
00:22:39.720 that they, they like that explanation more. They like that narrative a lot more. We'll get a lot more
00:22:43.860 out of that. The gun violence thing. They don't get as much out of it. So this, this story will,
00:22:48.200 will probably just go away. And what you see from that is that the Democrats and the media,
00:22:54.220 the left, they just have, they have nothing to say about violence. They have nothing to say about
00:22:59.540 human evil. If it can't be tied to bigotry and not, not bigotry, but specifically white bigotry,
00:23:06.500 any kind of human evil outside of that, they have nothing to say about it.
00:23:13.840 Um, and this is largely political, right? We know that they prefer the white bigotry narrative
00:23:20.980 for political reasons, for ideological reasons. We all understand that, but it's also more than
00:23:26.280 that because the white bigotry narrative, it's a, it's exactly that. It's a narrative. It's like a
00:23:30.800 story. And so this is part of the issue with having 24 hour news in the first place
00:23:38.640 is that they always have to have stories to tell. There's not enough actual news to report every
00:23:43.660 second of the day. So it's like, they've got stories and every few days there's another story
00:23:47.700 and they're, and they're telling that story, but they lack any kind of insight.
00:23:54.220 Even putting aside the political bias biases, they lack any insight into the human condition.
00:24:02.580 They even lack imagination. So they have, they, they simply have nothing to say about,
00:24:08.560 they have no narrative they can come up with, no story to tell about human evil outside of the
00:24:14.820 realm of white bigotry. That's all they've got, which is unfortunate because there's, there's, um,
00:24:21.100 with the entire story of human evil, white bigotry, again, very, very small part of that,
00:24:28.180 uh, of that, of that pie chart. There's the entire rest of the picture that we never talk about,
00:24:33.080 uh, because they have nothing to say. Speaking of human evil, the White House commemorated as,
00:24:40.580 as we've already mentioned, commemorated the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. We know that,
00:24:43.680 uh, Kamala Harris was out and she was giving the speech. They also had this bit of propaganda
00:24:47.500 from a quote unquote abortion provider that they, uh, posted to their White House Twitter page
00:24:52.700 on Sunday. Watch this.
00:24:55.700 It's awful having to tell patients, I'm sorry, I have those skills, but I can't use them
00:25:00.760 because you're not dying enough yet for me to take care of you.
00:25:05.280 My name is Dr. Layla Zahidi Spung, and I'm a high-risk obstetrician and abortion provider.
00:25:09.580 All of the clinics in the state of Tennessee closed on August 25th when the complete ban went into effect.
00:25:17.780 And I can tell you when I heard that Roe had been overturned, I was immediately afraid for my patients
00:25:24.300 and I was immediately afraid for myself. And therefore I knew that I was going to be put in a situation
00:25:29.500 at some point or was worried about being in a situation where I was going to have to put my own
00:25:35.080 freedom and life at risk in order to take care of someone and make sure that they didn't die.
00:25:41.000 And that is a terrifying place to be. And I want to be able to take care of as many patients as possible.
00:25:47.000 And if I end up being charged with a felony, like I would have if I performed an abortion in the state
00:25:53.240 of Tennessee, then I may not ever be able to practice medicine again, not to mention I could go to jail.
00:25:59.240 I am unable to provide care that is both evidence-based and saves lives.
00:26:06.520 Oh, what a hero. But she just wants to save lives. She wants to save lives by killing them for profit.
00:26:14.360 Talk about ignoring statistical realities. The way, if you didn't know any better at all,
00:26:19.560 and you listen to her, and the White House of course is hoping that people that listen to this don't know
00:26:23.320 any better. And unfortunately, that hope is well-founded for many ignorant Americans.
00:26:32.200 So if you're in that group, you listen to that, you would think that nearly every abortion is a
00:26:38.440 life-saving procedure. That's what you would think. The way she tells it, she's an abortionist,
00:26:47.400 and she's constantly got people coming to her, they need an abortion to save their lives.
00:26:51.160 Every single one is life-saving. When in reality, none of them are. That doesn't exist.
00:27:03.400 A life-saving abortion doesn't exist. Only life-ending abortions.
00:27:09.000 And as we have tried to clarify in this show many times, we have to continue to clarify it
00:27:14.920 for all the people who are hopelessly ignorant, hopefully not hopelessly, so we can do something
00:27:18.920 about the ignorance. But abortion is directly and intentionally killing unborn human life. That's
00:27:28.600 what an abortion is. The purpose of the abortion procedure is to kill the life in the womb. And
00:27:35.640 there's no other purpose. It's just directly killing the life. In the very rare cases where a woman needs
00:27:44.280 some sort of actual medical treatment that is intended to help whatever is wrong with her,
00:27:52.120 but that will perhaps or even nearly certainly result in the death of the child, that is not an abortion.
00:28:01.560 These are two different things.
00:28:02.520 You know, it's kind of the difference between principle of double effect versus
00:28:08.360 ends justify the means. Ends justify the means is let's just kill the baby because the woman wants
00:28:13.640 us to and it's going to make her life easier. That's ends justify the means.
00:28:19.400 Double effect means that you're doing the right thing. You're doing a good thing. You're giving a woman
00:28:24.040 actual medical treatment even if there's a possibility that will result in some bad thing happening like
00:28:31.000 the baby tragically dying. So for example, a woman has terminal cancer. You have to treat the cancer
00:28:37.800 that might have devastating effects to the child. That's not an abortion. All they ever do is conflate
00:28:44.440 these cases. They're not the same thing. And of course, she knows that. But she's a hero.
00:28:50.120 No. She's going to continue performing these abortions even if she has to go to jail.
00:28:55.320 Well, if that's true that she continues to perform them in Tennessee in spite of the fact that she
00:29:00.040 could be charged with a felony and thrown in jail, and I hope that she is charged with a felony. I
00:29:03.320 hope she's thrown in prison for life. That would be fantastic. You know, if they take that woman and
00:29:09.480 they put her in cuffs, drag her out of the clinic, frog march her into prison, I would be standing there.
00:29:14.680 If they do it, I hope that they let me know so I can stand there laughing in her face.
00:29:17.560 I would take delight in watching that and in the suffering she feels and knowing that she's going
00:29:23.400 to prison because she deserves it. She is a mass murderer of children. Well, you just saw there one
00:29:28.680 of the most evil scumbags on the planet, the lowest form of life. But if she continues to do it in spite
00:29:35.960 of that possibility, it's only because there's nothing else she can do. She's not a real doctor.
00:29:41.720 It's like there's no other. She can't take her abortion skill, her skill of killing babies and
00:29:49.480 take it to some other field of medicine. It doesn't translate. All she knows how to do is kill human
00:29:54.600 life. But in most other areas of actual medicine, the goal is to treat and heal human life. So she
00:30:01.560 knows how to do the exact opposite. There's nothing. So she's got nothing else.
00:30:08.280 And that's the the buying she finds herself in. One other thing here on a similar topic, Tony Dungy,
00:30:14.360 former NFL coach, now he's a sports commentator. He spoke at the March for Life on Friday. Let's listen
00:30:21.800 a little bit of this. Well, those prayers were answered. DeMar is recovering now. He's home.
00:30:26.520 He's been released from the hospital. But what's the lesson in that? You know,
00:30:34.040 an unbelievable thing happened that night, a professional football game with millions of
00:30:38.520 dollars of ticket money and advertising money on the line. That game was canceled. Why? Because a life
00:30:46.760 was at stake. And people wanted to see that life saved. Even people who aren't necessarily religious
00:30:54.680 got together and called on God. Well, that should be encouraging to us because that's exactly why
00:31:00.760 we're here today. Because every day in this country, innocent lives are at stake. And the only difference is
00:31:12.920 they don't belong to a famous athlete. And they're not seen on national TV. But those lives are still
00:31:19.800 important to God and in God's eyes. Well, as you can imagine, Tony Dungy being a mainstream figure
00:31:29.400 in sports media. Now, it's been known for a long time that he's a conservative Christian. And
00:31:36.600 for the most part, he's able to get away with that, with being a conservative Christian, because that's
00:31:40.920 a thing you have to get away with these days. Because he's talking about sports. But here he
00:31:47.960 has come out and actually spoken out forcefully. And it's not the first time he's done it. Spoken
00:31:54.760 out forcefully and in public against the murder of babies. And so the left, they're just done with
00:31:58.840 them. The sports media in particular. This comes from Fox. It says, Dave Zirin, sports editor for the
00:32:04.760 nation, said he is done with Tony Dungy in the way the NFL and NBC coddle his right-wing extremism.
00:32:10.920 That's what you just heard in that clip. Extremism.
00:32:14.280 Zirin says Dungy is someone venerated throughout the NFL world as a man of character,
00:32:19.480 but has spent years as an anti-gay bigot. Zirin wrote, he said publicly and proudly that he would
00:32:24.760 not want gay football player Michael Sam on his team. He said over a decade ago that he disagreed
00:32:29.240 with the lifestyle of Jason Collins, the first out-active male gay player in the main for North
00:32:35.080 American sports. This is a Dungy staple, calling being LGBT a lifestyle, even after people have
00:32:40.960 said to him repeatedly how hurtful and outdated such a description is. He simply doesn't care.
00:32:46.040 And then Zirin goes on and talk about how terrible he is. If Dungy wants a show on the Daily Wire,
00:32:51.000 more power to him. I totally agree. I mean, I can't, I'm not in charge of these things, but I'm
00:32:55.560 going to go out on a limb and say that we would certainly love to hire Tony Dungy if he's interested.
00:33:01.120 So it wasn't just Dave Zirin, a bunch of other people. USA Today had this article
00:33:05.680 taking issue with Dungy's, what they call selective intolerance. The article says what Dungy is not
00:33:13.980 and where he has far less authority with which to speak is a woman. How do you know he's not a
00:33:19.260 woman? How do you know? Who must consider an abortion for any number of reasons, but that did
00:33:24.420 not stop Dungy from invoking Hamlin's name himself at Friday's anti-abortion march for life in
00:33:29.180 Washington, D.C. Prayer may have helped Hamlin in his recovery. That we do not know. But Hamlin
00:33:35.880 was also helped to a great extent by the medical professionals and the Bill's employee and those
00:33:41.320 at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Bill's assistant athletic trainer, Denny Kellington,
00:33:45.360 was specifically lauded by the doctors who worked with Hamlin at UNC after he was transported there.
00:33:49.640 To Dungy, it seems that the use of Hamlin's name is fair game, but only in a selective sense. Sadly,
00:33:54.420 Dungy's selective intolerance has been in the news far too often in recent days.
00:33:58.140 Okay. Intolerance. What is he intolerant of in that speech there? Intolerant of killing babies,
00:34:05.100 I suppose? It's funny when they try to do this to Tony Dungy of all people because he's
00:34:12.680 the most wholesome and beloved guy. He's like the black Mr. Rogers of the NFL. Everyone loves him.
00:34:19.300 Anyone who's ever played for him loves him. No one has a bad word to say about him,
00:34:22.960 which is very rare in any business or industry that you could be in that industry for decades and
00:34:29.820 no one who's actually worked with you or for you has anything bad to say about you.
00:34:36.460 That's really all you need to know about someone. If that's the case, then that's a solid person.
00:34:40.560 That's a very good person. So this is all he does. And then on top of that, he just,
00:34:45.920 he comes off like this incredibly inoffensive, kind, sort of gentle person.
00:34:52.940 I don't even know what it sounds like. I've seen Tony Dungy on TV for years. I don't know what it
00:34:57.160 would look like or sound like for him to be angry about something. And they're trying to take him
00:35:02.260 and turn him into this rabid, frothing at the mouth extremist, which is just pretty funny.
00:35:09.000 Here's a story from AP News. One of Sarah Huckabee Sanders's first acts as Arkansas governor was to
00:35:17.360 ban most state agencies from using the gender neutral term Latinx or Latinx, tapping into a
00:35:24.020 debate that's divided Hispanics among generational lines. Sanders called the word culturally insensitive
00:35:29.940 in an order that's prompted complaints from some critics who view it as yet another attack
00:35:33.720 by Republicans on the LGBTQ community. Yet her move may have limited impact given the
00:35:38.980 word has not appeared to be widely used in the Arkansas government.
00:35:44.320 It was among several orders that the 40-year-old former White House press secretary signed within
00:35:48.160 hours of taking office that were cheered by conservatives, including restrictions on
00:35:51.740 teaching critical race theory in public schools and banning TikTok on state devices. All of these
00:35:56.200 are fantastic rules that should be in place in every state. The Latinx prohibition gives agencies 60
00:36:02.300 days to revise written materials to comply. So that's what, that's the story from Sarah
00:36:08.960 Huckabee Sanders banning state agencies from using the term Latinx, which obviously is the correct
00:36:15.420 move. And the AP is trying to frame this as it's a controversial move. It's Latinx is controversial.
00:36:24.220 It's divided Hispanics along generational lines. No, it has not. It actually has been a uniting factor
00:36:31.440 for Hispanics because nearly all of them agree that Latinx is ridiculous. There's no generational divide
00:36:39.340 here. Or if there is one, it is marginal. I think the last I saw, it was maybe like 3% of Hispanics are
00:36:48.840 strongly in favor of using Latinx or do use it themselves. And yeah, that number is going to be
00:36:54.740 higher. So pretty much anyone who's Hispanic and above the age of 30, like 0% of them have ever used
00:37:03.640 that word. There might be five or six of them that have used it under the age of 30, but that's it.
00:37:09.860 And this qualifies as a generational divide, according to the AP, when it is not. This is a
00:37:17.140 word that almost none of them use. And again, really, really can't use because it doesn't,
00:37:22.060 it doesn't work in the Spanish language. It doesn't make sense in the Spanish language.
00:37:28.700 Now, so I appreciate this move from Sarah Huckabee Sanders, although she, she almost,
00:37:35.060 almost, not to split hairs here, but she almost ruins it with the reasoning that she gives. And I
00:37:43.020 understand why she's, she's using this reasoning, trying to use the left's logic against them, but,
00:37:47.840 but that it never works to do that. So as mentioned in the article, but this is what she,
00:37:52.940 she responded to that AP article with this tweet said, I ban the use of Latinx in government because
00:38:00.060 I will not permit my administration to use culturally insensitive words that greatly offend the vast
00:38:04.960 majority of Hispanics. No matter what the liberal corporate media says, we will keep the radical left's
00:38:09.860 agenda out of Arkansas. Now, again, I understand why she's using that argument, trying to use the
00:38:17.260 left's logic against them. They're the ones that claim they don't, they don't believe in cultural
00:38:21.340 insensitivity. And so she's saying, well, this is culturally insensitive because you're trying to
00:38:25.380 foist this change of language onto a culture that doesn't want it. It's cultural colonialism,
00:38:31.380 which it is. And all of that is true, but that's not really the reason fundamentally why we oppose
00:38:38.440 this language change. We oppose it because it's arbitrary, it's ridiculous, it's incoherent.
00:38:46.440 It represents the left co-opting language for their own ideological benefit.
00:38:53.140 That's why we oppose it. And the problem with framing it as, oh, it's culturally insensitive
00:38:57.920 is that, okay, well, the left, they're going to keep drilling this home. It's what they always do
00:39:05.420 with, with changes of language. They keep drilling it and drilling it until it gets through. They keep
00:39:09.380 beating you over the head with it until you, until you bow into submission. And so what if 10 years
00:39:14.200 from now, 15 years from now, their indoctrination campaign on this topic has been successful and a
00:39:25.480 slim majority of Hispanics say that, yeah, I'm okay with the term. Does that mean that now we're going
00:39:30.420 to put it into government documents? The word that was incoherent and that represented the radical
00:39:38.880 left's co-opting of language, does that now become okay in a government document because 56% of Hispanics
00:39:46.000 say they like it? No, it's just as incoherent and radically leftist as it was before.
00:39:53.660 So you have a good, solid, objective argument against this, but you frame it subjectively trying
00:39:59.680 to use the left's own logic against them. And when you do that, you end up shooting yourself in the
00:40:03.540 foot every single time. You cut yourself off at the kneecaps, really. It's not even at the foot.
00:40:08.620 You cut yourself off the kneecaps. And it never works. So we have to understand the left's logic
00:40:16.580 can't be used against them because part of their logic, part of the leftist logic is that, you know,
00:40:23.360 is that they get to decide what all these terms mean. So yeah, they're opposed to cultural
00:40:29.760 insensitivity, but they're the ones who decide what that is. And they have said that it's not
00:40:36.660 culturally insensitive to try to co-op the Spanish language and force them to adopt this word.
00:40:42.400 As far as they're concerned, they've decided it. So that's what, that's what it is. That doesn't
00:40:45.960 qualifies culturally insensitive. So that's the problem. Let's get now to the comment section.
00:41:00.920 Cha Booney says, I'm a 43-year-old infertile woman. I've tried everything medically possible
00:41:05.320 to conceive a child, but it wasn't possible. It breaks my heart that medical research is even
00:41:09.140 being done to help men get pregnant when there are real women suffering every day.
00:41:13.000 That's an important angle of this as well, that we were talking on Friday, of course,
00:41:18.480 the show opened with the Frankenstein gender surgeons who now want to take the uterus out
00:41:25.260 of a woman and implant it into a man in hopes that he can somehow conceive a child and give birth.
00:41:30.360 We talked about all the, all the scientific and logistical problems with that, not to mention
00:41:35.980 just how ethically and morally horrific it is. But then, yes, it just goes to show that
00:41:45.080 the medical industry, they're, they're, they are right now working on the problem
00:41:49.540 of how to make it so that men can give birth to babies. Meanwhile, there are lots of women
00:41:56.260 who should be able to give birth to children, but because of various medical complications,
00:42:00.720 they can't. So how about taking all of that energy and all of the funding and all the time
00:42:07.200 spent on research and spending it and making sure that every woman is able to, to conceive and bear
00:42:12.900 and give birth to children? How about that for an idea? Now, I will say that even in the cases of a
00:42:18.840 woman, I would be, to put it mildly, very skeptical of any kind of uterus transplant situation.
00:42:27.560 And, uh, the primary reason for that is the one we talked about on one of the ones we talked about
00:42:32.060 on Friday, which is that this, this is what it would start off as being experimental as any kind
00:42:37.780 of new organ transplant is. And, but usually with an organ transplant, even if it's experimental,
00:42:42.040 they haven't done it very often. Um, you're taking, you're assuming the risk for yourself,
00:42:45.680 right? If it's some sort of radical new surgery and, and, and you say, okay, I'm going to undergo this
00:42:52.000 surgery because I have no, I have no choice. I think it's worth the risk. If it goes the wrong way,
00:42:57.540 then, then, you know, you've taken that calculation, you suffer the, the, uh, consequences
00:43:01.740 for that. But any kind of uterus transplant, there's going to end up to be, end up being
00:43:07.680 another life involved in this experiment. So, you know, there's going to be a, what happens
00:43:14.540 to the first child who is consumed, conceived inside a transplanted uterus? Nobody can say
00:43:22.540 whether that's going to be safe for the child. We just wouldn't know. And so now we're experimenting
00:43:27.320 with the child's life as well. Um, so that, that is a major ethical problem to me, no matter who
00:43:35.180 you're transplanting the uterus into. Transplanting into a man just makes it the whole thing into a
00:43:41.280 horror show. Canty Bloke says, Ben passing that Dr. Phil spot to Matt was a cool piece of trivia we got
00:43:48.260 out of this fun drama. I don't know how fun the drama is, but yeah, that is, I think I've mentioned
00:43:52.020 that before, but that is, that's true. The people that Dr. Phil producers, they, uh, they got ahold
00:43:57.000 of us here at the daily wire last year, like late November, early December. And yeah, they wanted Ben
00:44:02.960 to do this, do the show. And he, and he turned it down to pass it to me, not because he couldn't
00:44:08.980 have gone in there and absolutely nailed that segment as well, but, um, because he thought it'd be a
00:44:14.800 great opportunity for me. And this is the kind of thing that, you know, when I talk about what goes
00:44:18.380 on here at the daily wire, I know if you're not in the business, you're not an industry, you have no
00:44:21.860 frame of reference, but so all you could do is just take it from me. Okay. But I'm telling you
00:44:27.120 that this is the kind of thing that makes me appreciate working at the daily wire and that
00:44:31.760 separates it from like any other company in this business that you have people here who say, well,
00:44:37.400 this would be a great opportunity for me, but I'll give it to you because I think it'll really work
00:44:40.200 for you. It just doesn't happen anywhere else. And that's the kind of, uh, mentality that you,
00:44:47.160 that you find here. And it is, it is rare is what I'm trying to tell you. And why is this? Because
00:44:53.000 people actually care. I'm not saying this is the only company that employs people who really care
00:44:58.040 about the culture and about, about winning the culture war, but, um, that is much more of a,
00:45:04.340 of a clearly motivating factor here than it is, I would say anywhere else. And I've been other
00:45:10.420 places and I've been around a lot of other places. Uh, let's see. Budgie bird says, I agree with you
00:45:19.740 on cake, Matt. We had a fall wedding and had an entire table of pies, apple pie, pecan pie, pumpkin pie,
00:45:26.620 cherry pie, blueberry pie, strawberry rhubarb pie. We cut the wedding pie instead of the cake. My mom gave
00:45:33.380 me grief about serving pie instead of cake, but guests still mentioned 14 years later, how awesome
00:45:37.860 it was to eat wedding pie instead of wedding cake. So this is a movement that we are, you and I are
00:45:44.860 starting together. Get rid of cake and still, you know, get rid of cake, replace it with pie.
00:45:52.560 And in my perfect version of the world, pie doesn't even, or cake doesn't even exist anymore
00:45:58.200 because there's no reason for it. Serves no purpose. Another comment says, what is a woman
00:46:04.240 is locked behind a subscription paywall. Matt Walsh claims he hates bubbles, but his documentary is
00:46:08.720 quite literally the definition of a bubble. The only people who watch it are already people who
00:46:12.180 believe in it. The people who needed to see it the most will never watch it because they'll never buy
00:46:15.960 a DW subscription. They didn't make the documentary to save the culture. They made that documentary to
00:46:20.480 grift people into daily wire subscriptions. Extremely scummy strategy. You can, you can say, well,
00:46:26.340 it takes money to buy it, to make a documentary, except you literally can't rent the documentary,
00:46:29.580 just flat out pay for it. The only way you can watch it is through a DW subscription.
00:46:33.240 They lock Candace Owens behind a paywall. So how is that helping the culture? They spew out ads
00:46:36.820 every three minutes on top of having full YouTube ads. And that's still not enough money to make the
00:46:40.480 Candace Owens show free to watch. Actually it is free right now. Um, they're grifters, bro. I'm sorry
00:46:45.000 you've been fooled. So this is interesting. I see comments like this. I just wanted to respond to it
00:46:48.980 because, uh, you notice with people like this and there's a lot of these people out there in the
00:46:54.660 world, um, and not just commenters on YouTube, but they, they literally cannot be satisfied no
00:47:00.020 matter what. So you're out there doing things and succeeding no matter what you do. It will not be
00:47:06.460 good enough or right. They do nothing. They're not doing anything. You're doing something,
00:47:12.500 but whatever you're doing, you should be doing something else. So you see the trap that's laid
00:47:17.520 here, which I think is really interesting. On one hand, it's a grift and a scam to have a
00:47:21.900 subscription service. I don't know if does that just apply to us or is that everybody is every
00:47:25.800 subscription service, a scam saying, okay, we have this, these products that we're making. You
00:47:30.340 can subscribe and have access to them. That's a scam. Now I wonder if you apply that to everyone
00:47:35.220 or if it's just us, like we're the ones who aren't allowed to have them, but at the same time,
00:47:39.780 so you don't like this subscription, but at the same time, you also don't like the ads.
00:47:44.820 So we can't have subscribers without grifting and scamming. We can't do ads without grifting and
00:47:49.100 scamming. How do you want this to work exactly? You do realize it does require money from somewhere
00:47:58.040 to do any of this, but there's just, there's nothing you can do, nothing you can do at all.
00:48:04.920 And also they want us to be, to, to free ourselves from big tech dependence, which we all agree is the
00:48:14.020 ultimate goal. But anything we do to get in that direction is not right. Part of getting there is
00:48:22.360 to have your own subscription, your own platform. That's how you get there. That's how you, that's
00:48:26.620 how you become not dependent on big tech, which is a huge goal and strategy, given that these
00:48:32.480 companies own everything and they have since the beginning of the internet. And so to change that
00:48:41.020 is a massive revolutionary act really, but it requires time. As I said on Friday, it also
00:48:47.480 requires money and it requires a investment from everybody involved. If you don't want to make the
00:48:53.500 investment, you don't want to give Daily Wire your money to be a subscriber. That's perfectly fine.
00:48:56.420 You don't have to, but don't sit there on the sidelines and complain that we're even attempting it
00:49:00.800 or you can, but the complaints don't really mean anything because we're going to forge on ahead.
00:49:06.180 This month, we're celebrating the anniversary of one of the greatest moments in Daily Wire history
00:49:09.540 after months of us leading the legal battle against the federal government and a national
00:49:13.540 do not comply campaign. The Supreme Court ruled in our favor and blocked the Biden administration's
00:49:18.120 outrageous vaccine mandate. This mandate would have set a dangerous precedent, giving the unelected
00:49:22.220 OSHA power over the personal medical decisions of American citizens. The Supreme Court recognized
00:49:27.140 this gross power grab and they made the right decision. And so we are proud to have led the charge
00:49:32.260 in this fight, but we couldn't have done it without you. Thousands of you joined the Daily Wire and over
00:49:36.000 a million Americans signed our petition against the mandates. To celebrate, we're offering 40% off
00:49:40.540 on all of our annual memberships with the code DO NOT COMPLY. And like we've been talking about the
00:49:45.120 last couple of days, working for this company, we know we're fighting for the culture. We also know
00:49:49.400 we can't do it without any of you. This is an investment that we all make together. And if you're
00:49:55.080 not part of the team yet, then you can become part of the team and celebrate one of the greatest
00:49:59.760 moments in Daily Wire history with 40% off your annual membership. Join now at dailywire.com
00:50:04.120 slash subscribe and join the winning team as we continue to crush the left. Remember,
00:50:08.180 do not comply for 40% off. Do not comply. Now let's get to our Daily Cancellation.
00:50:16.960 One thing we all know is that there is no trauma quite like a TikTok trauma. Those traumas inflicted
00:50:24.140 on and documented by TikTok influencers and used by those same influencers for social media clout are by
00:50:31.080 far the worst traumas known to man. Nobody in the world has ever known the sort of suffering that
00:50:36.440 this group of poor, unfortunate experience every day of their miserable lives. Case in point,
00:50:40.980 take TikTok vlogger Jessica, who went viral over the past few days after posting a video to her
00:50:46.440 600,000 plus followers revealing the purported sexual harassment that she encountered at the gym.
00:50:52.100 She also posted the video to Twitter along with this caption. This is her caption. She said,
00:50:55.680 this guy kept making me extremely uncomfortable at the gym. This is why I'll end up crying on stream
00:51:00.640 because I feel so grossed out at times with the amount of sexualization I experience. Hopefully this
00:51:05.680 spreads awareness for girls who experience this type of treatment at the gym. In the thread below the
00:51:10.800 video, she further explains that this man was staring at her for, quote, disturbingly long periods
00:51:16.100 and that this triggered her, quote, fight or flight response and conjured up memories of, quote,
00:51:20.660 previous traumas. She emphasized that she's tired of being sexualized and just wants to
00:51:26.180 work out in peace without anyone watching her. It sounds like whatever happened exactly,
00:51:32.760 it was pretty terrible. I mean, obviously this guy at the gym, he's a pervert and a creep. He's lurking
00:51:37.580 off in some dimly lit corner staring conspicuously at her. That must be the case because the only other
00:51:44.460 possibility is that this woman is a narcissistic drama queen and a liar looking for ways to entrap
00:51:49.140 innocent men so that she can slander them on the internet for clicks. And that just doesn't
00:51:53.520 sound like anything that any woman on TikTok would ever do. But let's consult the actual video just
00:51:58.600 to find out. Here it is. This is how to not approach girls at the gym. I hate this. I hate this. I hate
00:52:06.240 that there's others with us. It makes me so uncomfortable.
00:52:09.880 Feral, feral, feral, feral, like, f-ing, feral.
00:52:16.760 There's mirrors everywhere so it's like you can easily
00:52:18.860 catch people.
00:52:29.680 I want you to watch very carefully.
00:52:36.680 This watch does the five as five pounds.
00:52:42.680 And these are the rates.
00:52:45.680 Excuse me?
00:52:47.680 You don't have to do that.
00:52:48.680 It's okay.
00:52:49.680 No, no, it's okay.
00:52:50.680 I got it.
00:52:51.680 Thank you though.
00:52:56.680 Okay.
00:52:58.680 So he glances over in her direction a few times for less than like half a second at a time.
00:53:04.680 And then finally walks over and tries to help her put the weights on the bar.
00:53:08.680 And she declines his help.
00:53:10.680 And he says, okay.
00:53:12.680 And then he walks away.
00:53:13.680 The end.
00:53:14.680 And they all live happily ever after.
00:53:16.680 Well, I mean, he does maybe, but she walks away traumatized, crying and shaking,
00:53:20.680 barely able to hold herself together because a man briefly noticed that she exists.
00:53:25.680 Now, before we analyze this incident, one thing you should know is that this video is one installment in an ever more popular genre on social media.
00:53:33.680 There are apparently many videos of men, quote, harassing or, quote, staring at women at the gym.
00:53:38.680 These incidents are usually captured in the same way.
00:53:41.680 There's a woman at the gym filming herself working out for whatever reason.
00:53:45.680 And in the process, she catches some man in the background quickly looking in her direction.
00:53:49.680 She isolates the clip, posts it to the internet, and then shames the offender for his conduct.
00:53:54.680 Here's just one more recent example that got some attention a couple months ago of this sort of thing.
00:53:58.680 As I said, there are many others where this came from.
00:54:00.680 In this one, a TikTok influencer named Adriana claims to have captured footage of a gym employee, quote,
00:54:06.680 being a pervert and gawking at her while she takes her shirt off.
00:54:10.680 And you may ask, well, what the hell are you doing taking your shirt off in the middle of the gym?
00:54:14.680 We'll get to that in a second.
00:54:15.680 But anyway, here's the video.
00:54:18.680 And up for myself, he threatens to call the police and revoke my membership.
00:54:23.680 Do you need something? Do you need something?
00:54:41.680 Do you need something?
00:54:44.680 No.
00:54:45.680 Do you need something?
00:54:47.680 OK, I thought so.
00:54:51.680 this is why we need sex segregated gyms we just do like male and female gyms uh that that's the
00:55:10.140 solution to all this stuff because let me tell you something no man at the gym been to many gyms in
00:55:15.360 my life men are not looking for any kind of drama at all they're just there doing their thing and
00:55:20.220 they're not looking for any of this just like if you're there and you want drama and gossip and
00:55:24.720 you're looking for problems and you want to leave and have something to talk about to your friends
00:55:28.120 well guess what happened at the gym no man wants to leave the gym with that kind of story guess
00:55:33.880 what happened at the gym that's something that some women look for and so we just need to be in
00:55:39.720 separate gyms just do your own thing that's what we need in this case once again uh he looks in her
00:55:46.840 general direction from what might add up to like one and a half seconds total although she slows down
00:55:52.160 the she puts it in slow motion to make it seem longer and this makes him a pervert deserving of
00:55:58.800 public shaming he glances over at a woman taking her shirt off whether or not that's the reason he
00:56:04.680 glanced she decided to do that and that's he makes he's a pervert now because of that
00:56:09.200 now let me just make a few points here first there are many reasons why a person might look
00:56:17.200 in your direction while you're out in public these women because they're raging narcissists with a
00:56:22.660 severely inflated sense of their own importance and their own physical attractiveness just assume
00:56:27.440 that any person who looks at them must be admiring their beauty but particularly in the first video i can
00:56:33.260 easily imagine several other possible explanations he might have been looking because he was wondering why
00:56:38.980 the woman was filming and muttering to herself like a schizophrenic he might have been feeling
00:56:43.360 self-conscious because he knew that he was probably in the background of her shot he might have been
00:56:48.160 thinking to himself she's not filming me is she and turns out she was or he might have been glancing over
00:56:54.500 because he wanted to turn with the equipment that she was using and was waiting for his chance to swoop
00:56:59.420 in as soon as she moved on okay he may have been frustrated because he's trying to get his workout in
00:57:04.240 and he's got this woman sitting there filming a social media video with the damn equipment he wants
00:57:10.120 to use you know that's that that is something that happens i had this experience at the gym over the
00:57:15.720 past weekend i was using one of the benches over the dumbbell station while there was a guy who was
00:57:19.700 kind of lingering in the background staring over at it wasn't just me there are other people using
00:57:23.420 the benches and he's like staring over and continuously sort of you know looking and then he looked
00:57:27.360 back and i didn't assume that he was looking at me because of my striking good looks i also i didn't
00:57:33.480 even assume that he was looking at me and thinking hey isn't that the what is a woman guy the latter
00:57:37.240 possibility was much more likely than the former but instead i assumed that he wanted to use the bench
00:57:42.800 that i was using and uh then i got up and he staked his claim to it as soon as i was done confirming
00:57:48.620 my theory so this is all very normal and fine in a gym it's what people do and nobody has to be
00:57:56.380 publicly shamed over but let's say that in the case of these women the offending men really were
00:58:03.080 looking over at least in part because they found the women physically attractive so what okay that
00:58:10.600 still would not constitute harassment much less would it make them perverts it would just make them
00:58:16.380 normal men whose only sin is merely noticing a woman this doesn't make them you know this doesn't
00:58:24.660 make doesn't make them harassers doesn't make them perverts it just makes them men with functioning
00:58:27.860 eyes is what is all it does second thing here's a tip if you're a woman and you don't want to be
00:58:35.000 noticed by men if indeed even the brief glance of a man offends you and causes trauma then you might
00:58:43.460 consider wearing clothing when you go out in public now i'm not saying you need to cover yourself in a
00:58:48.980 burlap sack or hit the gym in a parka and snow pants but i am saying that you probably want to
00:58:53.920 wear more than just your underwear so both women are working out in skimpy spandex shorts and a
00:58:59.980 sports bra a uniform that has become by the way quite common at gyms all across the country at
00:59:04.100 some point in the past few years the nation's women decided by majority vote i guess that clothes are
00:59:08.280 optional when working out in public and yeah according to the laws in most states apparently
00:59:12.840 they're free to treat the gym like a nudist resort if they so choose but they're not free to control
00:59:17.400 everyone else's minds and eyeballs while they perform a strip tease at planet fitness
00:59:21.960 the woman in the second video she actually strips down to her underwear in the middle of the gym
00:59:27.220 they have locker rooms for that purpose but she chose to do it in public perhaps next she'll give
00:59:33.340 herself a sponge bath while standing on the treadmill i mean who knows the thing is you don't behave this
00:59:38.380 way and dress like that unless you want attention you can claim otherwise but you're lying you dress
00:59:46.940 that way because you want attention period there is no other possible motivation for walking around in
00:59:54.260 public in your underwear if anyone does that man or woman you're looking for attention depending on
01:00:00.020 what you look like and whether you're a man or a woman and all the rest of it it'll determine what
01:00:04.460 sort of attention you get but you're going to get attention if you walk around in your underwear
01:00:08.680 if any men you know men don't do that do you notice that men aren't rolling up to the gym in their
01:00:13.900 underwear like when's the last time you saw a man at the at the gym wearing just boxer shorts and
01:00:19.820 nothing else i've never seen it but guess what if a man did do that people would be staring women
01:00:26.380 would be staring maybe because they find him attractive or maybe because they're thinking
01:00:31.200 what the hell is that guy wearing at the gym but here's the thing with these with these women
01:00:35.700 they want to control they want the attention they want the attention but they want to control
01:00:39.400 exactly what sort of attention they receive and from whom and for how long and in what way they
01:00:46.260 want attention but it must be attention that fits their mood at any given moment and that's just not
01:00:50.960 how this works okay life does not work that way no matter how much you want it to it doesn't if you go
01:00:57.200 out in public and say hey everyone look at me they're gonna look and you're not gonna get to control
01:01:03.640 who looks for how long all the rest of it speaking of trying to control the type of attention keep in
01:01:09.860 mind that these women are recording their workouts to put on social media they're supposedly self-conscious
01:01:15.880 about being watched yet they're posting the footage to the internet so that thousands of people can watch
01:01:21.860 it they don't want to be noticed while they work out so they work out in their underwear on camera
01:01:28.240 there seems to be a logical disconnect here but it's a symptom of the disease that we just talked about
01:01:34.400 people these days not just women on tiktok though especially them perhaps are desperate for attention
01:01:39.120 they're starving for it all the time and yet while going out of their way to solicit the attention of
01:01:43.780 countless strangers they still think they should be able to control the manner and duration of the
01:01:48.380 attention most of all they want all the attention to come through a screen so they're standing
01:01:54.460 in a room with other human beings demanding the attention of everyone who isn't in the room
01:01:59.700 while wishing to be invisible to everybody in the room if anything is perverse it's that attitude
01:02:06.300 finally ladies if you're wondering why you aren't meeting any decent men out there it might have
01:02:13.780 something to do with this it might be because they're afraid of being publicly shamed as rapists if
01:02:19.740 they even so much as glance in your direction or god forbid try to speak to you if a man could
01:02:26.880 potentially be a pervert simply for noticing your presence in a room if he commits harassment by
01:02:33.980 trying to initiate any kind of conversation or interaction at all then the game is hopelessly
01:02:39.460 rigged against him and he loses automatically more and more men will decide just not to play the game
01:02:45.900 it's not worth the risk and that's exactly what's happened and that is why and that's all happening
01:02:53.480 by the way thanks to women like jessica and adriana and that is why they in particular are the ones who
