The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1099 - They Want You To Be Fat, Poor, Dumb And Helpless

00:00:00.100 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the Biden administration has hired an obesity expert to help craft new dietary guidelines.

00:00:05.940 This expert says that obesity is a brain disease and there's almost nothing you can do to stop yourself from becoming fat.

00:00:11.700 This is ridiculous, of course, but it's part of a larger and more nefarious agenda, which we will discuss today.

00:00:16.120 Also, the media launches a campaign against assault pistols. What are those exactly?

00:00:20.900 A teen girl is sexually harassed by a man in the women's locker room at the YMCA.

00:00:24.780 Now the harasser is speaking out to defend himself, and somehow I do not find his arguments persuasive.

00:00:30.000 Plus, a famous track star claims racism and sexism after getting kicked off of a plane.

00:00:34.640 Is she really a victim or just another cry-bully brat? 0.84

00:00:37.700 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:47.920 The current administration's New Year's goals are to tax spend and turn a blind eye to inflation.

00:00:52.860 If this is at odds with your goals, if you're tired of the government playing games with your savings and your retirement plan,

00:00:57.900 then you need to get in touch with the experts at Birch Gold today.

00:01:01.220 For over 5,000 years, gold has withstood inflation, geopolitical turmoil, and stock market crashes.

00:01:06.660 Now you can own gold in a tax-sheltered retirement account.

00:01:09.280 Birch Gold makes it easy to convert an IRA or 401k into an IRA and precious metals.

00:01:13.360 Text Walsh to 989898 to claim your free info kit on gold,

00:01:17.180 and then talk to one of their precious metals specialists.

00:01:19.540 With an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau, thousands of happy customers, and countless five-star reviews,

00:01:25.080 you can trust Birch Gold to help protect your savings.

00:01:27.720 Text Walsh to 989898 and protect yourself with gold today.

00:01:31.260 That's Walsh to 989898.

00:01:34.580 Last week during our mailbag segment in the members block portion of the show,

00:01:38.760 someone asked me to pinpoint the exact moment when the downfall of Western civilization began.

00:01:45.280 Now, my first answer to that question, which may or may not be naively optimistic,

00:01:50.320 is that I'm not ready to admit that the downfall of our civilization has actually happened or is happening.

00:01:55.940 We are fighting to avert such a disaster.

00:01:58.720 And if I didn't believe that we could win that fight, I wouldn't bother with any of this.

00:02:03.760 That said, we are experiencing at the very least a steep decline in nearly all senses of the term civilizationally.

00:02:10.080 But I don't think it's possible to locate an exact beginning point of this devolutionary process.

00:02:15.880 We cannot say precisely when we began on this road, but we can, in retrospect, identify certain landmarks,

00:02:22.320 certain signposts that we passed along the way which warned of things to come and yet whose warnings were not heeded.

00:02:30.360 As for that, I mentioned in that segment one moment that isn't often cited in conversations like these.

00:02:36.460 And that moment occurred in 1952 with the publication of what would become the first of so far five editions

00:02:42.240 of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders by the American Psychiatric Association.

00:02:48.220 What made this moment significant in an ominous and very negative sort of way is that it was one step

00:02:54.580 followed by many more increasingly larger and more rapid steps towards the medicalization of the human condition.

00:03:01.960 The psychiatric industry had set out on a path towards disease-ifying every human emotion,

00:03:07.520 thought, action, habit, and recasting the human species as pre-programmed and highly defective automatons,

00:03:15.380 incapable of making our own choices or of claiming any sort of responsibility for our own emotional and mental states.

00:03:21.520 By the publication of the DSM-5 in 2013, this process was complete, or perhaps not,

00:03:27.540 because there's always more that can be done after all.

00:03:30.060 There are always more ways to relieve human beings of the burden of their own free will,

00:03:35.320 which has become perhaps the number one mission right now of the medical community.

00:03:40.400 It isn't just psychiatrists anymore who are working diligently on this project.

00:03:44.700 Much of the rest of the medical industry has joined the cause.

00:03:47.380 And this is especially evident in the way that medical experts now approach and treat obesity.

00:03:52.940 And in fact, to bridge the gap between these two topics,

00:03:56.420 we should note that a serious effort was made to add obesity to the DSM-5,

00:04:01.740 officially categorizing it as a mental illness.

00:04:05.020 The kind of thing that you would talk to your psychiatrist about, not a nutritionist,

00:04:09.860 and then be given psychotropic drugs to treat.

00:04:12.840 And by the way, they would be treating, of course, not the obesity,

00:04:15.880 but your feelings about the obesity, which would then actually become the disease.

00:04:19.660 The fact that you're obese and don't want to be obese, that's the problem.

00:04:23.640 Let's make you okay with the obesity, and then we've solved it.

00:04:26.500 It did end up making it into the DSM-5, but I'm quite certain it'll be in the DSM-6.

00:04:31.780 Because we haven't gotten quite to that point yet.

00:04:33.800 But we have arrived at the point where, as we discussed on the show a few weeks ago,

00:04:38.120 so-called medical experts are officially recommending gastric bypass surgery

00:04:42.320 and diet pills to obese children.

00:04:45.260 Because obesity, they say, is a disease in its own right.

00:04:48.380 Not something that you can or should try to control on your own.

00:04:54.460 It's entirely a disease.

00:04:57.160 The medicalization of gluttony and sloth, which are the true causes of obesity,

00:05:02.560 is now in full swing.

00:05:04.380 One of the people at the forefront of this movement is a woman named Fatima Cody Stanford.

00:05:09.600 She's a doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital, and she also works at Harvard Medical School.

00:05:14.960 She's a very prestigious professional.

00:05:16.940 And she recently added another prestigious title to her resume when she was named as a member

00:05:21.600 on the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee,

00:05:26.220 which is assembled by the Departments of Health and Human Services and Agriculture.

00:05:30.060 This committee, which will hold its first meeting in a few weeks,

00:05:33.460 is responsible for releasing updated dietary guidelines for Americans,

00:05:38.000 something they've been doing every five years since 1980.

00:05:40.840 Now, you may be familiar with their work, because this is the same organization that published

00:05:45.780 the now thoroughly debunked and ridiculed and infamous Food Pyramid,

00:05:50.380 which was taught as gospel when I was in elementary school.

00:05:53.800 This was just assumed that it was the way to go.

00:05:56.660 And they taught the Food Pyramid until actual nutrition experts pointed out that the recommendations

00:06:01.440 on the Food Pyramid were ridiculous and wrong and extremely dangerous to your health.

00:06:06.600 Its biggest problem, there were many problems with the Food Pyramid, 0.72

00:06:10.240 including just how the foods are classified and how overly simplified it all is.

00:06:15.140 But its biggest problem was that it recommended a diet consisting primarily of carbohydrates

00:06:19.780 with almost no fats, on the assumption that all carbs are good and all fats are bad.

00:06:25.680 The developers of these recommendations were, by the way, persuaded in part

00:06:30.280 by lobbyists for the grain industry to make grain the base of the pyramid.

00:06:35.120 This is what convinced them that the grain industry threw a bunch of money at them,

00:06:40.000 and then they said, you know what?

00:06:41.100 I think grain is great.

00:06:42.140 I think it should be like the only thing people eat.

00:06:45.540 This strategy of recommending that Americans eat whatever type of food has the best lobbying firms

00:06:50.240 behind it apparently didn't have great results for the overall health of Americans.

00:06:54.180 Indeed, as the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee continued to work

00:06:57.800 and continued to publish newer and newer guidelines,

00:07:01.200 Americans just continue to get fatter and fatter. 1.00

00:07:04.360 There is no evidence that this government initiative is helping anyone,

00:07:08.700 and lots of evidence that it's hurting people,

00:07:11.900 which only means that they'll continue doing exactly what they've always done,

00:07:14.780 and they'll get more and more funding to do it,

00:07:16.520 because that's how it works with the government, as we have seen time and time again.

00:07:19.720 And with Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford as one of the quacks at the helm this time around, 1.00

00:07:25.300 there's no reason to think that the results will improve at all.

00:07:28.200 Stanford, again, a foremost expert on obesity.

00:07:31.880 She teaches a subject at Harvard Medical School.

00:07:34.000 She's a doctor at Mass General Hospital.

00:07:38.500 And she says that fatness is, if not a mental disorder, then a disease of the brain.

00:07:43.320 The distinction, by the way, between mental disorders and diseases of the brain

00:07:47.080 is, of course, never made clear by anyone.

00:07:50.040 Like, nobody in the medical or psychiatric industry can even explain the difference between the two things.

00:07:55.020 They constantly conflate the two, mental disorders and brain diseases.

00:07:58.580 But she insists that diet and exercise have almost nothing to do with making you fat.

00:08:04.520 She made this case a couple weeks ago to a visibly incredulous journalist on 60 Minutes.

00:08:10.060 Listen to this.

00:08:10.580 If you diet, you lose weight, right?

00:08:15.800 The number one cause of obesity is genetics.

00:08:19.420 That means if you are born to parents that have obesity, you have a 50 to 85 percent likelihood

00:08:25.660 of having the disease yourself, even with optimal diet, exercise, sleep management, stress management.

00:08:34.360 So when people see families that have obesity, the assumption is, what are they feeding those kids?

00:08:39.780 Those are bigoted assumptions.

00:08:43.560 So she proposes that you could have a near-perfect diet.

00:08:46.800 You could jog three miles a day.

00:08:48.640 You could never touch fast food.

00:08:50.340 You could never touch fried food.

00:08:52.120 You could eat no junk food.

00:08:53.720 Everything's great.

00:08:54.740 And you will still have up to an 85 percent likelihood of being obese because your parents are.

00:09:00.680 You may do everything right and still wake up one morning like Tim Allen in the Santa Claus, suddenly morbidly obese with a white beard and flying reindeer parked in your front yard.

00:09:12.620 That's science, apparently.

00:09:13.940 Though, despite how she presents it, of course, the reality is that obesity cannot be simply

00:09:20.400 passed down to a child like eye color.

00:09:22.720 It would never be accurate to say, well, I have my mom's eyes, my grandpa's jawline, and

00:09:27.120 my dad's beer gut.

00:09:28.720 If it was that simple, then, you know, if it was simply passed down like brown eyes and 0.89

00:09:34.760 pronounced jawlines are passed down, we should see morbid obesity at similar rates across the

00:09:40.260 world and through history.

00:09:41.080 But we don't, we see it here in this place at this time in history because people have

00:09:46.840 never had more food to eat or more processed food to eat or more sugary food to eat, and

00:09:54.080 they've also never been more sedentary.

00:09:56.760 If we see obesity running in a family, it's not because mom and dad passed down their fat

00:10:03.660 genes, unless by that we mean that a child is so fat that he's literally wearing his dad's

00:10:07.860 pants.

00:10:08.180 No, obesity runs in families because children will generally eat what their parents eat,

00:10:14.780 and they'll follow their parents' example, and they'll sit for five hours a day staring at

00:10:18.300 screens if that's what their parents do and allow them to do.

00:10:22.720 And the inherent contradiction here is that, of course, if people like Dr. Stanford are involved

00:10:28.740 in creating any sort of dietary guidelines at all, then they must acknowledge that your diet

00:10:33.300 plays a very important role.

00:10:35.440 What's the point of the dietary guidelines you're working on if the diet doesn't matter?

00:10:39.800 Why would we even be discussing diet if it's just a matter of genetics anyway?

00:10:45.800 It would be like issuing dietary guidelines to help Americans change their blood type.

00:10:50.860 It's a total contradiction.

00:10:54.180 There's no solution to the contradiction.

00:10:56.020 Like so many other contradictions from the so-called expert class, this one is left to just

00:11:01.240 hang out there and hope that none of us will notice it.

00:11:05.640 And as for that expert class, it must be said that the laughable claim that obesity running in

00:11:12.360 families is proof of an obesity gene, this is exactly the kind of bad science, the kind of

00:11:18.740 propaganda masquerading as science that has made people totally distrust nearly everyone in nearly

00:11:26.100 every profession related at all to science. We have reached a critical mass, no pun intended,

00:11:33.440 and the public simply cannot endure any more lies from the science and medicine expert class.

00:11:40.000 We can't deal with it anymore. We can't listen to any more of it.

00:11:43.680 And more and more people are getting to the point where they're saying, I don't want to hear,

00:11:46.380 I don't believe anything you people say anymore. We've had enough. There's only so much you can

00:11:52.280 take. But it's important to realize what this particular lie is meant to accomplish. Indeed,

00:11:59.000 most of the lies from the medical industry have this same goal, and it's the goal I mentioned at

00:12:04.080 the top. The objective is to turn people into fat, pathetic, helpless, rotund little roly-polies 0.99

00:12:14.680 waddling around from place to place, mindless and thoughtless, driven by instinct and easily herded 1.00

00:12:20.720 in whatever direction our betters want us to go. They want us to believe that we have no control over

00:12:28.100 our lives, over our minds, over our bodies. Self-acceptance, self-affirmation is the highest

00:12:35.580 virtue in our age because self-acceptance, in the way that they mean it, is defeat. That's what it is.

00:12:44.040 It is admitting defeat. And they want us defeated and submissive. Simply accept your current mental and

00:12:52.100 physical state. Make yourself comfortable with it. Satiate yourself. Distract yourself. Numb yourself

00:12:59.100 by engaging a lot of, you know, by just watching things on TV and looking at your phone a lot

00:13:05.760 because you cannot change and you cannot choose and you cannot do anything for yourself. That's the

00:13:13.800 message. But of course, if you really don't want to accept it, if there's something about yourself

00:13:20.180 that you really don't like, well then the next option is to take drugs and get surgeries.

00:13:25.360 Because remember, it's all a disease. Whatever it is you don't like about yourself,

00:13:28.100 it's automatically a disease. Whatever it is, it's a disease. So it's not your fault.

00:13:33.560 Which is why you might as well accept it and even embrace it and be proud of it.

00:13:38.400 Or you could treat it as a disease and go get medicine for it. Another contradiction.

00:13:43.700 Medicine or surgeries, which they'll be happy to provide, of course, for a hefty fee.

00:13:47.500 So that they can be richer and you can be poorer. So we're going to add that to it. Poor, fat,

00:13:55.680 helpless, and miserable. That's their vision for you and for me. And a vision that we should all 1.00

00:14:01.460 certainly reject. Now let's get to our headlines. The Daily Wire doubled in size during 2022 and that

00:14:58.680 ZipRecruiter, the smartest way to hire. Like we talked about yesterday, the Monterey Park

00:15:03.680 mass shooting is not terribly useful to the media now that it turns out that their anti-Asian hate

00:15:12.360 crime narrative doesn't really hold up. So they'll of course try to make it a gun control 0.55

00:15:16.640 thing and that's what they're doing right now before they move on because the gun control

00:15:20.380 narrative, unfortunately for them, doesn't drive ratings nearly as much as some of these other

00:15:25.060 narratives do. But on the topic of gun control, I thought this segment on MSNBC, this was yesterday,

00:15:30.500 was notable for how much absurdity they were able to pack into, like I think this is about two minutes,

00:15:38.440 and let's listen to this.

00:15:41.660 We choose to live like this. It doesn't have to be this way. We choose to live in a country and this

00:15:46.940 one of the guns, at least one of the guns, I want to play the sound so I get this right, but it is

00:15:51.860 believed by the L.A. County Sheriff that one of the guns was probably not legally possessed by the

00:15:58.840 shooter. Let me play that sound for you.

00:16:00.300 The weapon that we recovered at that second scene, I'm describing as a magazine-fed semi-automatic

00:16:11.360 assault pistol. Not an assault rifle, but an assault pistol that had an extended large capacity magazine

00:16:20.260 attached to it. I believe the weapon that was recovered at the Alhambra location is not legal

00:16:29.820 to have here in the state of California.

00:16:32.820 So Frank, it's the scenario Shannon describes precisely. And so while the solution seems to be

00:16:42.060 slowly and incrementally working in places where elections succeed in putting in place politicians

00:16:48.760 who do smart things to make us safer, until we're all safe, no one is safe. This was a gun

00:16:54.800 probably purchased somewhere else. As the sheriff said, they're not legal to have in California.

00:17:01.600 Shannon's right on the money with regard to this weakest link observation. Replete on social media

00:17:08.340 right now are people saying, look at that. California has some of the most strictest gun laws in the

00:17:13.700 nation. And even they couldn't escape a mass shooting. Well, yeah, that's right. Because you know

00:17:20.180 why? Because you're only as good, as Shannon says, as the next nearest state with the weakest

00:17:25.760 gun laws. We need a national federal solution here. And it doesn't have to be just banning all guns,

00:17:33.740 but we've got to act regionally and nationally.

00:17:36.800 Hmm. So there's a few things to go over there. And as I said, I packed a lot into it. But so first

00:17:45.240 of all, we have this phrase assault pistol, which is a new one to me. I'd heard of the assault rifle

00:17:52.400 and I was never clear on what an assault rifle is. I don't know what an assault rifle is. Nobody knows

00:17:57.660 what an assault rifle is. An assault rifle, okay, I know what assault rifle is broadly. An assault rifle

00:18:02.920 is whatever type of rifle the media finds scary, which is really all of them. So then I guess

00:18:12.080 context clues, assault pistol is a pistol that is particularly scary to the media and to the left,

00:18:18.820 which again is all pistols. The whole, I mean, putting the word assault, I know in front of a

00:18:25.480 weapon, it's like what, yes, any weapon can be used in the course of an assault. It can be used to

00:18:34.320 assault somebody. But then again, any physical object, well, maybe not any, but many physical

00:18:42.200 objects, those that can be, that are hard or solid can be picked up and wielded in any sort of way.

00:18:47.620 But those can also be used in an assault. Certainly a knife can be used. So is there an assault knife?

00:18:53.440 Your hands can be used in an assault. That's the vast majority of assaults that happen

00:18:58.780 throughout the country every day. Somebody using their fists. So do you have assault fists?

00:19:07.760 So that's the first problem. And then we hear this statement from the anchor there where she says,

00:19:13.060 well, you know, nobody is safe until we're all safe. If we aren't all safe, then nobody is safe.

00:19:22.240 What? No, no, no. That's, see, that's not how this works at all, actually. That's definitely not

00:19:27.960 how this works. I'm not quite sure what you are even trying to express there. Until we're all safe,

00:19:36.100 nobody is safe. No, your safety, look, nobody is 100% safe. If you're a mortal being living anywhere

00:19:45.680 on the planet, you're not 100% safe. There are always dangers lurking out there around every

00:19:49.780 corner. But you can definitely increase your relative safety. And that's going to, to begin

00:19:59.400 with me, depending on where you live. It depends on location. So where I live, I'm going to be a lot

00:20:06.800 safer than someone who lives, for example, in like the worst parts of Los Angeles, the worst parts of

00:20:16.780 Los Angeles being the entire city. So I'm going to be a lot safer where I live. There are people that

00:20:22.600 can be a lot safer than me if they live all the way out in the country. That's an even safer place.

00:20:27.520 So your safety, if you're living out in the country and you've got 15 acres of land and there's

00:20:34.880 nobody around, the chance of you falling victim to violent crime, unless it's violent crime coming

00:20:41.880 from inside your own house, like a domestic thing. But the chance of you falling victim to

00:20:46.780 violent crime from someone outside of your own household is practically non-existent.

00:20:52.660 Whereas if you live in certain parts of many cities, your chances are sky high.

00:21:02.180 But your own safety living out in the country with your 15 acres, that's not dependent on everyone

00:21:07.580 else being safe. Why is she saying this though? Well, then we get it from the other talking head

00:21:14.320 that they brought on who said that, well, if there are some states that have stricter gun laws than

00:21:22.980 others. California has very strict gun laws. It's acknowledged by the law enforcement official in the

00:21:30.900 press conference that the type of firearm that was used to carry out this mass shooting is already

00:21:36.400 illegal in California. It could not, it cannot be made more illegal. They can pass another law making

00:21:42.140 it illegal again, but that's going to be redundant. If the first law making it illegal was not totally

00:21:48.880 effective, then the second law probably won't be either. Which that in and of itself should put an

00:21:57.060 end to the gun control narrative for this crime. Because you want to make it about gun laws, well,

00:22:03.900 whatever gun law you would propose that would have supposedly stopped this, that's already on the

00:22:08.700 books in California and it didn't stop it. How do they get around that? They say, well, there are

00:22:14.320 other states that don't have these laws and they're the weak links. See, now we're all, all the states

00:22:23.320 now are links in a chain. And if you don't have, if your laws are not as tyrannical and oppressive

00:22:29.740 as the state next to you, then you are now the weak link. Which means that this is not, they're not

00:22:38.040 just using this as a platform to launch an attack on the second amendment. They're also, of course,

00:22:43.360 using this as an attack on states' rights. And we all have to be on the same page. We all have to have

00:22:49.160 the same laws. Because if California has certain laws and they're not working for California, but you're

00:22:55.320 a neighboring state and you have different laws, then, well, they could just turn and blame you.

00:22:58.840 It's all your fault somehow. And then what happens, what happens when all that, we totally abolish

00:23:04.240 states' rights, which are mostly fictional and have essentially been fictional really since

00:23:09.320 the end of the Civil War. We abolish states' rights. Let's say they pass whatever federal gun ban they

00:23:16.660 want. Still doesn't solve the problem. People are still getting guns. Well, then what do you do? Now

00:23:22.500 you look at the other countries of the world and it's their fault. Well, now we need a global,

00:23:27.480 now we need global laws. Which obviously is the next step.

00:23:34.980 All right. Here's a report from Daily Wire. Let's back up a few days to get this story and

00:23:39.700 then we'll have the update. A female California teenager in San Diego County told local officials

00:23:45.260 Wednesday that she was exposed to male genitalia inside a YMCA women's locker room after finishing 1.00

00:23:51.480 a workout. Rebecca Phillips, 17, said during the public comment section at the January 11th

00:23:57.000 Santee City Council meeting that the exposure happened two weeks ago after she completed

00:24:01.300 swimming laps and cleaning up in the Cameron family YMCA women's locker room.

00:24:06.820 As I was showering after my workout, this is a Phillips quoting, said,

00:24:10.500 I saw a naked male in the women's locker room. I immediately went back into the shower terrified

00:24:14.740 and hid behind their flimsy excuse for curtain until he was gone. Phillips said that she asked

00:24:20.120 YMCA management about the facility's transgender policy and she said the Family Recreation Center

00:24:26.180 confirmed to her that staff allowed the man to shower wherever he pleased.

00:24:33.360 Phillips told city officials, as long as you're not a red flag on Megan's law,

00:24:36.880 California Sex Offender Registry, a grown male can shower alongside a teenage girl at your YMCA

00:24:42.920 location here in Santee. I was made to feel as though I had done something wrong when I talked to

00:24:48.320 people at the YMCA. So this was a, this was a male pervert who was fully naked in the women's locker room 0.98

00:24:58.880 around minors. And one of these girls complained and was made to feel like a bigot for complaining. 1.00

00:25:08.660 The phrase victim blaming gets thrown around a lot and, and usually in circumstances where it's

00:25:16.260 not at all appropriate. But this is, if you're wondering what victim blaming really looks like,

00:25:20.560 this is what it looks like. It's this, you have a female, a minor who was sexually harassed by a

00:25:29.420 naked male in her locker room. She complains about it and she's treated like a bigot. 1.00

00:25:36.020 Essentially the message to her and to every woman and every girl is, Hey, if you don't want 0.99

00:25:41.360 naked men around you in your locker rooms, just deal with it. Go home. Don't, don't come here anymore. 1.00

00:25:45.900 This is, this is your problem. So that's victim blaming. And you know, also by the way, sexual,

00:25:56.920 the term sexual harassment is thrown around quite a lot. Yesterday in the daily cancellation, we had

00:26:01.160 examples of women who were, you know, working out at the gym, recording themselves and then claim 0.98

00:26:06.680 that they're harassed because a man briefly looks in their direction or God forbid tries to speak to

00:26:12.700 them. And that becomes harassment. That's not though. On the other hand, a man getting walking

00:26:19.180 into the women's locker room, getting fully naked, that's sexual harassment. That's what, that's what 1.00

00:26:22.640 that looks like. And it looks hideous. Speaking of looking hideous, the local CBS affiliate has an

00:26:29.180 update to this report. And they, the guy who went to locker room, he's been talking to the media.

00:26:35.580 He's very proud of himself. Has no shame. Let's watch a little bit of this report.

00:26:39.580 People, entire families are coming up to get their picture taken and to introduce me to their

00:26:46.980 children. And Wood is not done fighting. She's planning to speak next Wednesday at the Santee

00:26:53.020 City Council meeting. It's important that they finally get to hear the truth and they finally

00:26:57.400 just pause it for a second. Because this is, I mean, this is literally just an out of shape

00:27:05.160 Dennis Rodman. I mean, this is like a, if Wesley Snipes had a baby with Elton John and this is the

00:27:12.200 dude that's coming into the women's locker room. Not even once again, not that it matters of course,

00:27:18.560 but this is, this doesn't qualify as even dressing like a woman. Have you ever seen a woman that 1.00

00:27:26.160 dresses like this? He's dressed like a homeless circus clown. This is not, no, no woman looks like 1.00

00:27:34.660 this or dresses like this. Again, not that it matters. Even if he was really pulling off the look,

00:27:41.740 it wouldn't make it okay to be in the locker room, but he's not doing that much.

00:27:48.340 Let's keep watching. 0.95

00:27:49.820 Face on this scary transgender woman who was misgendered. 1.00

00:27:56.500 And despite threats of violence, Wood says she's not scared. 0.96

00:28:00.380 You know, I, I know how to give an insult out and I know what areas to kick and punch,

00:28:05.500 you know, at least enough to be able to run till I can get to my car and get out of here.

00:28:09.720 And at the meeting, she'll have the support of her aqua sisters. 0.59

00:28:13.700 My husband and I are thinking about putting some signs together that say we support Chrissy

00:28:17.340 so that we have, you know, the visual friendship through thick and thin.

00:28:23.300 Austin Grab is joining me now. I feel like a big part of the story that's either been a

00:28:28.280 misconception or people are just forgetting about is that Wood has fully transitioned into

00:28:32.960 a woman and was in the woman's bathroom. Yeah, that's right. Well, in fact, she says she is a 0.99

00:28:37.540 woman and she really wants to drive home the fact that she transitioned over five years ago. 1.00

00:28:42.480 And that, you know, she says she is, she is a woman and she says she's a woman, period.

00:28:47.380 And that's where it ends. Absolutely. And let's transition ourselves into the other side of the

00:28:50.540 story. What are we hearing from her? Yeah. Interesting. He said it. Well,

00:28:54.840 that's it. He said it. It looks here last night at the protest and I have tried to get in touch with

00:28:59.480 her. I left a message yesterday at her workplace, but I have not had a phone call back.

00:29:03.940 Certainly we would like to speak to her, but I haven't heard from her and I haven't heard any

00:29:07.560 more public comments from her. It will be interesting to see if she comes out to that

00:29:11.500 city council meeting next week. Certainly she's already had her voice heard there. Now Wood is

00:29:15.700 going to have her voice heard there as well. It would be interesting to see if the two were there 0.89

00:29:19.460 at the same time. Absolutely. You definitely want to hear from that 17 year old and how she's even 0.93

00:29:23.400 responding to the protest. Austin, thank you very much. Let's dive deeper into that part of the story

00:29:28.360 and how this incident got into the public limelight last week. That 17 year old girl that we were just

00:29:33.540 talking about. Her name is Rebecca Phillips. She got up to speak at the Santee city council meeting.

00:29:37.840 Pause it again. I don't know how much longer this goes on. So they're remarking on the fact that they

00:29:45.020 can't get a hold of the 17 year old girl and both of these, both of these so-called journalists there.

00:29:51.560 Oh, we tried to get a hold of her. We can't get a, she's not talking to us. I wonder why.

00:29:56.220 I wonder why she's not talking to us. I don't know. 17 year old girl being smeared as a bigot by the 1.00

00:30:02.280 media. Like you've already come out against her. You're right now coming out against her by affirming

00:30:09.140 this pervert male as a woman. How do we know he's a woman? Well, because he says so. 0.97

00:30:15.780 And they think that's really important to clarify. Just to clarify. Now, this person

00:30:21.300 says, says she's a woman, period. Said it. That's it. It was said. So that's all.

00:30:29.980 Well, fully transitioned where we are informed. He fully transitioned. This is a full transition.

00:30:39.080 So what else are we supposed to say? There's a, there's this, that's it. That's the period. They

00:30:46.060 put the end of the, they said, period. That's the end of the discussion. So after saying that,

00:30:50.360 then they call up the 17 year old girl and say, Hey, by the way, we're with the media. We wanted to

00:30:53.960 know why you're such a disgusting bigot. Hey, can you give us a call back? 17 year old girl. And let us 1.00

00:30:58.720 know. We want to know why are you such a transphobic bigot? That's going to cause this poor trans woman to 1.00

00:31:04.240 kill herself. We wanted to know more details about your bigotry. Please give us a call back. 1.00

00:31:11.260 These people are beneath contempt, utter scum. And that's, you know, and I'm, I'm even angrier as 1.00

00:31:19.500 always at the, at, at everyone else in this, that we've seen, you know, in this story, I'm angry at

00:31:25.980 everyone else, even aside from the guy dressing up as a, as a woman. I mean, he's the number one 0.77

00:31:32.980 culprit culprit, of course, he's a pervert predator and should be in prison for sexually harassing 1.00

00:31:41.060 minor girls. He should simply be in prison for that for the rest of his life. This is not someone 0.99

00:31:46.380 that we need in society. He's not doing anything to help society that we don't, we don't need him.

00:31:50.160 And so we should just throw him in a cage and lock it and keep him there at a minimum.

00:31:56.880 But then you look at everybody else. I mean, we heard from the woman. It's like an older woman.

00:32:05.080 Imagine being like, you're an actual woman. Okay. You're, you're a real woman. And you see,

00:32:12.620 you hear a story about a man disrobing and exposing himself to a 17 year old girl.

00:32:18.380 And you take the man's side. All right, let's watch a little more of this and sparking the

00:32:25.980 debate. Here's some of what she had to say. As I was showering after my workout, I saw a naked 1.00

00:32:31.740 male in the women's locker room. I immediately went back into the shower, terrified and hid behind

00:32:37.580 their flimsy excuse for a curtain until he was gone. I was made to feel as though I had done something

00:32:43.180 wrong. When I talked to people at the YMCA, somehow the indecent exposure of a male to a female

00:32:49.180 minor was an inconvenience to them. I mean, I, how deranged do you have to be? We just saw,

00:32:59.160 they only gave us a, you know, a short snippet of the 17 year old girl, but you've got, you've got her

00:33:04.780 on one hand. And even in that 10 seconds, they show of her address, the city council meeting,

00:33:11.260 we can tell that she's a 17 year old girl, normal person who had to witness this hideous, 0.96

00:33:20.840 disgusting excuse for a man disrobing in front of her. And she was quite traumatized by it and afraid

00:33:26.240 as any 17 year old girl would be, as any woman would be, as any, any, any female would be in that

00:33:32.160 situation. So you've got her on one hand, the other hand, you've got the Dennis Rodman lookalike.

00:33:41.080 Again, how deranged do you have to be? Like in what state does your soul have to be in to see these

00:33:50.860 two people and come to the conclusion that the dude is in the right, that you're on the dude's

00:33:57.240 side. But what makes it really evil, you know, this is my point that what makes it really evil is that

00:34:04.100 I don't believe that anyone actually does think that the guy is in the right. I just, I don't believe

00:34:11.980 that the two news anchors or reporters that we saw there, I don't think that any of them are looking

00:34:18.960 at this guy and thinking, well, yeah, that's a woman. All right. That's a woman. If I ever saw

00:34:23.360 one, none of them think that, but they're going along with it for ideological, of course, political

00:34:30.040 reasons. All right. Similar subject here is the report from the Daily Wire. United Nations Women's

00:34:36.300 Rights Committee rejected a pro-life organization's request to screen the Daily Wire's What is a Woman

00:34:41.120 after declaring the groundbreaking documentary did not align with the panel's values. The Committee on the

00:34:47.720 Status of Women, referred to within the global body as NGO CSWNY and a convener for the United

00:34:56.900 Nations Annual Meeting on Women's Rights, rejected the International Youth Coalition's request to hold

00:35:01.560 a screening of the film starring Matt Walsh at an upcoming conference because it did not adhere to

00:35:05.960 their new guidelines. So this is the UN at this committee associated with the UN. They're saying

00:35:12.340 you can't screen what is a woman because it doesn't adhere to their guidelines. The letter 0.98

00:35:17.640 turning down the proposal said, unfortunately, your request to host an event has been denied as your

00:35:21.520 event does not align with NGO CSWNY's values and or mandate. The summary rejection stunned Austin

00:35:31.120 Ruse, president of the Center for Family and Human Rights, the Youth Coalition's parent organization.

00:35:35.780 He said, quote, how ironic is it that a conference on women does not want to consider the question,

00:35:41.360 what is a woman? It's also unfortunate that this UN conference is not interested in diverse voices.

00:35:46.760 Now, obviously, nobody is surprised that the UN is not interested in having my film screened. I don't

00:35:56.220 think anyone's surprised by that. I'm not surprised to learn that it doesn't align with the UN's guidelines.

00:36:00.080 I agree, in fact, that it does not align with their guidelines or their values. In fact, I would be

00:36:07.680 embarrassed. I would be not just embarrassed. I'd be ashamed if they were actually allowed to screen

00:36:15.160 it. If the UN said, oh, yeah, we have no problem with that one. Yeah, that adheres to our values.

00:36:22.560 I think I would retire from the business. I think at that point I would have to. If I found out that I

00:36:27.140 made a film that adheres to the UN's guidelines, I would have to retire in shame. So in a certain way,

00:36:33.000 I'm quite relieved that they turned it down. But that doesn't change the irony here or how absurd

00:36:41.100 it actually is that this is a keep in mind that the name of the committee or the conference, it's not

00:36:46.520 simply a committee for women or whatever. It's a committee about the status of women. That's what 1.00

00:36:53.580 they're interested in, the status of women. And so if we want to examine the status of women in the 0.96

00:36:59.480 world, then probably the first question we need to answer is, what are they and do they exist to

00:37:05.140 begin with? If you're trying to figure out anyone's status, the first thing you need to know is whether

00:37:11.280 that person or that type of person exists. And that's something that is, at a minimum,

00:37:19.740 a live question on the left. They're not quite sure. Not quite sure if women exist to begin with

00:37:24.940 in any kind of meaningful sense. But that's not a question that they want to obviously examine at

00:37:30.460 the UN. Another report from the Daily Wire, I think it's important. In one generation, the world has

00:37:35.100 experienced seismic shifts in the way we communicate and relate to one another. But these changes are coming

00:37:39.640 at a high cost, particularly to our children. Most teenagers, 97%, report being online every day,

00:37:44.880 and nearly half say they're online almost constantly. But recent research from scientists

00:37:48.280 at the University of North Carolina shows that all of this time on social media is linked to changes in

00:37:52.780 the teen brain. By looking at brain scans of middle schoolers between the ages of 12 and 15,

00:37:58.180 neuroscientists at UNC found that frequent social media users at age 12 showed heightened sensitivity to

00:38:05.240 social rewards from peers over time. Teenagers who were less engaged with social media at age 12

00:38:10.560 showed less interest in social rewards over time.

00:38:14.160 Gene Twang, a psychology professor at San Diego State University and author of iGen,

00:38:19.020 has also sounded the alarm on the link between social media use and anxiety and depression in

00:38:23.420 teens. There's a substantial link to depression, and that link tends to be stronger among girls.

00:38:27.860 The more time the teen, particularly a teen girl, spends using social media, the more likely it is

00:38:32.040 that she will be depressed, according to Twang. Any new habit or learned behavior leaves its imprint

00:38:37.060 on the brain. The fact that the brain is imprinted by social media use should not come as a surprise.

00:38:41.520 But most parents who let their children create social media accounts are probably unaware of the extent

00:38:44.940 to which these social media accounts are training their children to seek pure approval

00:38:47.940 or what the long-term consequences may be.

00:38:51.200 This is just the latest bit of scientific evidence that it is not good for children for them to sit

00:39:02.220 around all day staring at their phones. Remember 50, and I think the number is probably low, but

00:39:07.880 according to the latest data, latest surveys, 50% of teens and adolescents say that they're online

00:39:15.880 constantly. And by constantly, and anyone who's ever been around a kid in this category knows that

00:39:22.040 constantly really means constantly. Like they're never not on. They sleep and then they wake up and

00:39:27.400 they're staring at their phone the entire day. No matter what else they're doing, they have the

00:39:31.060 phone and they're looking at their phone. I don't think we need, we certainly have never needed to wait

00:39:39.120 around for scientific evidence that this is not a healthy way to live. And I don't need, I don't need

00:39:46.560 any scientific analysis or any study to tell me this is not a healthy way for kids to live.

00:39:51.700 The only thing, the only thing a science will do is tell us in precisely what sort of ways it is

00:39:57.500 unhealthy. So we know that it's extremely unhealthy and we can figure out a lot of the ways that it's not

00:40:02.200 healthy. Driving the obesity epidemic is one thing. That's the least of it. But then science,

00:40:10.020 I suppose, can come back around and get a little bit more specific. Give us some of the details.

00:40:14.280 None of these details are surprising. This is not, this is not a, hey, it's, it's not even a human

00:40:21.880 existence. The human beings were not meant to live this way. And whenever we can look at the way that

00:40:27.980 we're living our lives right now, you know, this is this part of learning from history and learning

00:40:33.400 from our ancestors. And I know people these days, they want to pretend that our ancestors and

00:40:37.120 have nothing to teach us and nothing to tell, tell us. We want to sever ourselves entirely from our

00:40:43.040 ancestors, not listen to the testimony of those who came before us, but that's a very foolish way to 0.94

00:40:49.720 live. And if you were to listen to them, then, you know, you should look at the way you're living and 0.92

00:40:53.380 you could ask yourself, like, what, what is it about modern life that would be entirely foreign

00:41:00.980 to our ancestors? And just because it'd be entirely foreign to our ancestors, doesn't mean that it's

00:41:07.600 necessarily wrong. There's a lot of modern medicine, at least the legitimate parts of it,

00:41:11.840 that would have been foreign to our ancestors. Antibiotics would have been foreign to them.

00:41:16.220 Doesn't mean that we shouldn't take them. But having a little device that you carry around all

00:41:25.900 the time and having your entire life center around this device, that is one of those things that is

00:41:32.500 unprecedented in history. There's no analog for it. Many of the things that we think are unprecedented

00:41:39.860 in modern history, when you look at it, you see that, well, this is just a version of something that

00:41:45.020 existed before. Nothing new under the sun, as it says, as we say. Actually, there are some things

00:41:49.800 that are new under the sun. Smartphones and the internet are new under the sun. There is no analog

00:41:54.320 for it. Nothing comparable to it, historically. This is an entirely new thing. It might be one of the

00:42:01.260 only entirely new things. This is an entirely new thing that we have decided to completely structure

00:42:07.620 our lives around. That in and of itself doesn't make it wrong, but it is a reason to examine it and

00:42:15.220 say, hmm, no one's ever lived this way before. We are verging off a completely different path.

00:42:23.360 Is this the right thing to do? I think in this case, it's obviously not. And clearly, when your kids

00:42:31.100 grow up on this stuff and all they ever do is use the internet and their whole life is structured

00:42:35.480 around it, as they found in the study, I mean, among other things, makes them a lot more susceptible

00:42:42.260 to peer pressure, a lot more susceptible to influence, much more desperate for approval and

00:42:47.500 affirmation. Kids already are inclined in that way. They need approval and affirmation. That's not

00:42:54.740 that's not an unhealthy desire for a child. But for kids that are on social media, this is their entire

00:43:01.400 life. You got to, I mean, you just, you have, I could keep saying it a million times over and I

00:43:09.740 will continue to say it. You have to rescue your children from this. You just must, you can't, you

00:43:14.720 cannot, you must force your, your children to have real childhoods and to live real human lives,

00:43:21.900 you know. Um, and they're, they're not going to like it. If you've allowed them to use the phone

00:43:26.960 up until now and you take that stuff away, and if you allow them to play video games six hours a day

00:43:31.460 and you take that away, they're not going to like it at first. It's, it's, they're going to react like

00:43:35.540 a heroin addict when you take the heroin needle away, but, but it's for their own good.

00:43:42.640 Um, you just, you just have to for their own sake. All right, let's get to our comment section.

00:43:47.440 Do you know their name? They're the sweet baby gang.

00:43:55.740 Joshua Vann says, Matt Walsh literally just said we should assume the shooter was black 0.98

00:44:01.160 because it was a crime against Asians. Wow. Let's not mention most mass shooters are white. 0.96

00:44:05.860 LOL. Wow. I'm glad you're impressed. Uh, no, I said that if we were going to assume the rate, 0.99

00:44:13.920 if we are going to assume the race of the Monterey park shooter, as many in the media did,

00:44:18.220 then statistically the most probable assumption would be that he's black. Turns out that he's not

00:44:22.560 black or white. He's Asian. Um, as for most mass shooters being white again, uh, unfortunately you're 0.99

00:44:32.020 wrong. A mass shooting is defined as a shooting where multiple people are hurt or killed. That's 0.84

00:44:37.820 what a mass shooting is. Now you're going based on the definition of mass shooting.

00:44:42.040 Your definition of mass shooting is basically the types of shootings the media pays attention to. 0.87

00:44:46.980 And if that's your definition, then yes, the majority of those are carried out by white people. 0.79

00:44:52.340 I mean, almost a hundred percent of them, like 95% are carried out by white people. The ones that the 1.00

00:44:56.920 media pays attention to. That's not the actual definition of mass shooting. Mass shooting is,

00:45:00.540 is just multiple people being hurt or killed. And when you define mass shooting that way,

00:45:05.460 which is how law enforcement agencies define it, then the majority of those are carried out by black men, 0.99

00:45:10.380 uh, by a white, wide margin, by the way, not by white people. That's again, a statistical reality.

00:45:18.920 Uh, recrat says, Matt, I cannot put up with this grifting anymore. I'm sick of having to pay for daily

00:45:24.200 wire plus. I'm sick of the ads. I will settle for no less than you showing up to my front door and

00:45:28.900 telling me what you have to say personally and paying me for my time. That is, that is one potential

00:45:37.300 business strategy. I'll, I'll run that up the flagpole and see what they think. Um, Julie says, Matt,

00:45:43.300 I think you're eventually going to surpass Rush Limbaugh in popularity. I look forward to it. Uh,

00:45:47.420 no, I, I, I won't. And no, here's the thing that nobody ever will. Um, no one will ever be, there's not

00:45:54.220 going to be a, uh, you know, after Rush Limbaugh died, there was, of course, this conversation about

00:45:59.140 who's the new Rush Limbaugh, who's going to take over, who's going to take the banner and be the,

00:46:04.540 and, um, there's not ever going to be, Rush Limbaugh, first of all, is a singular talent,

00:46:10.520 um, at a particular time in history, revolutionized his industry of talk radio.

00:46:16.580 And, uh, it's a different world now. Um, and there's not ever going to be another one. That's,

00:46:22.840 that's it. Um, US Marine says, Matt is the only person I know that hates cake as passionately as

00:46:32.880 the no pineapple on pizza crowd. It's impressive, honestly. Well, that's not quite fair. I, I think

00:46:40.440 I, I don't hate cakes. This is the misconception. Okay. I've already said I'll eat cake. Obviously,

00:46:47.080 if someone offers me cake, I'm going to eat it because the only other option is to say, no,

00:46:51.740 I don't want any cake, which who would ever say that. So I'll eat it. Um, speaking of obesity,

00:46:58.180 I'll eat whatever junk food you put in front of my face, but it's not, it's overrated. It's vastly

00:47:05.140 overrated. Why? And, and, and it doesn't deserve the pride of place that it gets is my point.

00:47:13.340 Um, orange banana says, Matt, now that we've settled the pie versus cake dispute,

00:47:19.920 how about this yogurt or pudding? How is that a dispute? Like, would anyone choose a yogurt over

00:47:26.900 pudding? You could choose yogurt or pudding. Is anyone going with yogurt? It's arguable whether

00:47:33.100 you should eat yogurt, even if it's the only option. Yogurt is kind of gross. It tastes a little

00:47:37.280 bit like worms, especially Greek yogurt. Um, but there's, there's no contest there at all.

00:47:43.120 Glock tech says, it's so nice to hear Matt pronounce latinx as latinx instead of Latin X.

00:47:50.280 The word itself is an abomination against Spanish grammar and the latter pronunciation just further

00:47:55.360 attacks on the Spanish language because X isn't pronounced as X in Spanish. The Democrats in their

00:48:01.580 woke culture purport to be the tolerant ones, but the non-Hispanic who compromised so many of their ranks 1.00

00:48:06.700 presumed to, uh, who comprise so many of the ranks presumed to tell actual Hispanics how to speak

00:48:11.580 their own language. The lack of insight is egregious. Yeah. I don't even like, it's like even

00:48:17.540 conservatives when they're making fun of the latinx thing will, will themselves pronounce it Latin X,

00:48:25.840 but you're already giving the left too much ground when you do that.

00:48:30.820 I won't use their false pronunciation even when making fun of it, because that's not like,

00:48:37.380 latinx. How would you pronounce, if you want the word Latin X, then I guess you'd have to spell it

00:48:43.100 L-A-T-I-N-E-X. Like maybe then you could justify Latin X, but L-A-T-I-N-X is Latinx. That's how you 0.98

00:48:52.420 pronounce that. And finally, Harry Logman says, brilliant episode. I think the girl in the second

00:48:59.800 video in the cancellation had seen other guys staring in gym videos and was expecting the same

00:49:04.120 thing to happen. She had been thinking about this hypothetical situation and was angry already

00:49:08.280 before a guy used his eyeballs to look vaguely in her direction, a terrible crime for him to commit.

00:49:14.040 I'm lucky enough to see the best side of women every day of my life, but this is one of life's 0.99

00:49:17.840 irritations. A certain type of woman spending hours trying to look as attractive as possible and then 1.00

00:49:22.420 blaming men for looking at them. Some women do this all the time. They want men to behave in one 1.00

00:49:27.980 specific way only, and anything else is harassment. It's irrational, yet some people take this nonsense

00:49:33.640 seriously. Yeah, I think that might partly explain. Actually, I don't think that's really the

00:49:37.160 explanation. I don't think that either of the women in these videos were actually upset. I think

00:49:42.780 this is a trap. It's a whole part of the reason why they're recording themselves at the gym. And I know

00:49:48.120 women aren't the only, I see this sometimes, I see this sometimes myself at the gym, not just women, 0.91

00:49:52.580 but men recording themselves too. I don't get it. I don't know why you need to do that. And if you

00:49:57.780 really do feel the need to do that, you feel like you want to record yourself working out, then you could

00:50:03.220 say it's your house for that. That's one thing about recording yourself in a public place.

00:50:11.040 It's annoying to everyone and it's strange, but also there are other people who are now in the

00:50:16.080 recording who probably don't want to be, especially at a gym. Most normal people, the last thing they

00:50:21.700 want in the world, unless you're getting paid as a fitness instructor, the last thing you want in the

00:50:26.580 world is to be on video when you're working out. So I think this was just a trap that they said. I don't

00:50:33.080 think she was actually authentically angry at all. But either way, they were the bad guys and deserve

00:50:39.620 to be canceled. Jeremy's Razors is offering a great deal that ends soon. 40% off on all razors. Why the

00:50:45.760 discount? Well, I'm glad you asked. A year ago, when Joe Biden tried to force a vaccine mandate upon

00:50:51.080 private employers and some 85 million Americans, the Daily Wire told him where to stick it. We sued

00:50:56.920 the federal government and won. After a 6-3 ruling in our favor from the Supreme Court, the mandate was

00:51:02.180 dead and together we kicked the government's ass. So on the first anniversary of this tremendous 0.99

00:51:06.340 victory for all Americans, the Daily Wire CEO and God King Jeremy Boring has issued a special decree

00:51:11.160 on the razors that bear his name right now and only for a limited time. All Jeremy's razors are 40%

00:51:17.080 off. That's right, 40%. That means you can get a kit with a Precision 5 razor and flip-back trimmer,

00:51:22.200 shave cream, post-shave balm, extra blades, and a handy travel case for just $35.99. That's a savings

00:51:28.500 of just $24. The Biden administration and its totalitarian cronies were cut down and now we

00:51:35.920 can rejoice by drinking their tears, enjoying our freedom, and looking damn good while doing it.

00:51:41.440 Get 40% off Jeremy's Razors before the deal ends by going to jeremysrazors.com. Now let's get to

00:51:46.620 our daily cancellation. Today we cancel Sha'Carri Richardson. You may vaguely remember the name

00:51:56.080 as someone who was complaining a while ago about being persecuted for some reason or another and

00:52:01.100 supposedly was all racist or somehow or something. All these controversies bleed together in the mind

00:52:06.280 and it's hard to keep them straight. So to clarify, Richardson is the female track star who was

00:52:11.260 disqualified from the Olympics a couple of years ago because she tested positive for marijuana. And 0.83

00:52:15.780 many people, including Richardson herself, complained that the rule against marijuana use is absurd and

00:52:20.200 pointless as marijuana is not likely to give you an advantage in competitive sports. This is probably

00:52:25.340 true, I guess, but me being the victim blamer that I am, I always more so wondered why she would use 0.75

00:52:31.820 marijuana when she's in the middle of qualifying for the Olympics, given the fact that it's a banned 0.98

00:52:36.780 substance. It may not be necessary to ban it at the Olympics, but it's even less necessary for

00:52:42.120 Olympians to use it. And if I was hoping to compete in the Olympics and the Olympics had a rule outlawing

00:52:48.220 the consumption of anything, like if they had a rule outlawing the consumption of Cheez-Its before

00:52:51.980 competing and they had a test to determine who had used Cheez-Its, I'd be severely disappointed.

00:52:57.100 I'd be confused. I wouldn't agree with the rule, but I still just wouldn't eat the Cheez-Its as difficult

00:53:02.720 as it would be to abstain because it would be more important to me that I get to follow my dream

00:53:06.940 and compete. But that's just me. So she chose to sacrifice the Olympics so that she could smoke 0.97

00:53:12.240 weed. That makes her the moron. And that's really the story there. It should have been. 1.00

00:53:16.860 But Richardson became famous for not racing at the Olympics, a famous victim of Olympic rules that

00:53:22.420 apply to everyone, but somehow were personally oppressive to her specifically. And given that

00:53:26.740 Richardson's primary claim to fame is her victimhood, it perhaps is no surprise that she is, or at least 0.76

00:53:30.980 became a totally insufferable brat. Which leads us to the latest update in the Richardson victimhood 0.94

00:53:37.560 saga, where now she finds herself kicked off of an American Airlines flight after refusing to stop

00:53:42.880 using her phone before takeoff. She recorded two videos documenting this confrontation with the

00:53:47.520 flight attendants and other people on her flight, apparently convinced that she comes off as the

00:53:51.700 good guy in the exchange. But you can judge for yourself. Here's the video.

00:53:55.240 Place it all the way under the seat, in front of you. Lying. Larger carry-on luggage.

00:54:01.820 Flying, not working today. Vacation time.

00:54:05.520 Such as cell phones, tablets, and smart watches. Please switch them.

00:54:09.680 I'm recording me, but you jumped in my video, so I caught you because you jumped in my video.

00:54:14.280 You're harassing me at this point, so I think you should stop. I think you should stop.

00:54:18.180 You see him, right? Y'all see him, right? Y'all see him, right? Okay. Okay, but I'm sorry. It's not me. Talk to him. No, no, no, don't talk to me like that. Do not talk to me like that. Do not talk to me like that. Tell him to stop. If you do not know what's going on, do not yell at me. You can stop recording. No, I'm not going to stop recording because I was making a video to myself. I'm going to not stop recording. And this video will show what you're doing. So I appreciate it. Who the

00:54:48.180 Are you talking to, ma'am? We don't need other people to get involved. Thank you. Let's go. No. 0.82

00:54:56.260 Again, again with the taking the video in public thing. Why are you taking a video to begin with on your flight? No one cares that you're on a flight. You're taking a flight. That's not interesting. Why do you think that needs to be documented? Not everything needs to be documented. Okay, we don't need documentation, especially not all the documentation anyone does anymore is of their face.

00:55:18.180 It's a selfie or a selfie video. Here's my face on a plane. Here's my face doing this. Here's my face walking down the street. Nobody cares. It's not interesting.

00:55:25.820 And I know that I sound like a hypocrite because I'm in front of a camera every single day. But that's also my job. And I can tell you, even in my job, like it, trust me, you see too much of me as it is. It could be a lot worse. I mean, all the time I've got social media, the social media team here telling me, oh, you should do this video doing this or that. We need a selfie video of you doing this. I'm not doing that. No one needs to see that. It's not interesting. Like, give me a reason why I should be on camera. Some reason and I'll do it.

00:55:55.820 I'll do it. I'll do it.

00:55:56.820 I'll do it. I'll do it.

00:55:57.820 I'll do it. I'll do it.

00:55:58.820 Okay? Now, in the second video, which I won't force you to watch, she argues with another passenger who rightly blames her for holding up the plane and making him miss his connection. She chides him for not being chivalrous and not standing up to defend her against the intimidating flight attendants. And he responds to her by saying, and I quote, I don't give a shit, which is both an eloquent argument and the morally correct one in this situation.

00:56:24.120 Eventually, Richardson is escorted off the plane while the other passengers applaud. But the fact that nearly everyone on the plane was against her and that she had inconvenienced over 100 people for no reason at all was not enough to convince her that she was herself the villain of this story. 0.98

00:56:39.120 Instead, she posted both videos to Instagram while threatening legal action against the airline for committing the crime of, I guess, expecting her to follow the rules that everyone else has to follow.

00:56:49.640 So, this is a theme for Richardson, right? She really has trouble with requirements that apply to everyone. You don't have to like the requirements, okay? But they apply to everyone and no one else has a problem. Everyone else manages to follow them but you.

00:57:05.480 Why is it a problem for you? Everyone else manages to not smoke weed before they had to go race in the Olympics. You had an issue with it. Everyone else manages to like not be taking a selfie video right before takeoff. For some reason, you can't handle that.

00:57:19.700 Indeed, she is personally injured by these requirements. The requirements are an attack against her. Not against everyone else who's just as subject to them, but against her because she is her. She is Sha'Carri Richardson and she is the protagonist in the story of the human species.

00:57:36.980 Now, fortunately, I don't have to go to great lengths, actually, in this cancellation to explain why Richardson is in the wrong because it would seem that most people are on the same page on this one.

00:57:47.600 Somewhat shockingly, this is the part that surprised me. Richardson has not garnered much public support even after playing both the race and gender card after the fact.

00:57:57.140 An Instagram post that diligently avoids anything resembling punctuation or proper sentence structure, Richardson wrote, in part,

00:58:04.860 tell me if I'll be wrong to pursue legal actions against the airline, American airline. Not only did the man threaten me, but also an innocent bystander who simply just wanted a picture with me.

00:58:13.640 In the beginning of the video, you can hear a Caucasian male state that he doesn't give a F as a man that male flight attendant is intimidating a woman.

00:58:20.860 Also, the captain not doing anything to help the situation, and this flight attendant has the applause when I exited the plane when I'm pretty serious.

00:58:28.400 The disrespect I receive would not have happened if I was a one of them.

00:58:34.420 I don't know.

00:58:38.320 One of them as in a white male, I guess is what she meant to say.

00:58:41.780 Because, of course, everyone on the plane would have been perfectly happy to miss their connecting flights if only the disturbance had been caused by a white male. 0.79

00:58:49.380 I mean, I'll never forget the time, this actually happened a couple times, when I threw a random temper tantrum in first class, delayed the plane by 45 minutes, caused 32 passengers to miss their connections.

00:59:00.080 And everyone in the plane, they were so proud of me, they shook my hands one by one to thank me for it, while the flight attendant showered me with free flight vouchers and extra bags of complimentary peanuts.

00:59:12.080 That is a thing that definitely happened in real life and not just in the fevered, marijuana-soaked mind of Sha'Carri Richardson.

00:59:19.380 Anyway, in this case, her victim routine seems to not be resonating as much as she had hoped with the public.

00:59:25.300 It could be that the public has become suddenly intelligent and discerning, which seems to be, frankly, extremely unlikely.

00:59:31.640 Or it could just be that people are simply sick and tired of loud-mouthed crybabies with main character syndrome

00:59:38.360 who always seem to find problems and drama in the sorts of situations where everyone else manages to get along just fine.

00:59:45.600 Fine.

00:59:45.860 It's perhaps interesting to note that even as the public becomes increasingly and unreasonably tolerant of self-victimizing drama queens

00:59:54.960 who look for every opportunity to be oppressed, they still don't want to deal with it on an airplane.

01:00:03.080 People these days will put up with your shenanigans in almost any situation that is until your shenanigans might cause them to miss a connection in Chicago.

01:00:11.260 That seems to be where the line is drawn.

01:00:15.300 And it's good that the line is drawn somewhere.

01:00:18.260 And that is why I must say, indeed, I think we all say, that Sha'Carri Richardson is today canceled.

01:00:25.100 And that'll do it for this portion of the show as we move over to the members block.

01:00:28.700 Hope to see you there.

01:00:29.360 If not, talk to you tomorrow.

01:00:31.040 Godspeed.

01:00:31.280 Godspeed.

01:00:32.280 We'll see you there.

01:00:34.340 We'll see you there.

01:00:38.720 It's great.

01:00:39.320 We'll see you there.

01:00:40.100 Thank you.

01:00:42.440 Happy family.

01:00:42.780 We'll see you there.

01:00:44.040 Bye-bye.
