The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1191 - Why Feminism Is One Of The Deadliest And Most Destructive Forces In Human History

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Wall Show, people are very upset that I said feminism is one of the deadliest and most destructive forces in human history.

00:00:05.900 Today, I will explain in detail why I'm right about that.

00:00:08.820 Also, LeBron James' 18-year-old son goes into cardiac arrest.

00:00:12.520 As you can imagine, there are all kinds of questions we aren't allowed to ask about that, but we will anyway today.

00:00:17.440 CNN goes to San Francisco to investigate the claims of a shoplifting epidemic and personally witnesses three people stealing in the span of 30 minutes.

00:00:24.860 Also, what does it mean to be a trans ally?

00:00:26.800 Why is this so-called alliance always one-sided?

00:00:30.220 And a self-described sassy TikTok influencer gets herself arrested in Dubai.

00:00:34.900 Apparently, sassy is illegal over there. 1.00

00:00:37.260 Who knew?

00:00:37.820 All of that and more today on The Matt Wall Show.

00:00:47.580 You know a company is looking out for you when they actually upgrade your service and don't charge you for it.

00:00:52.460 This is great news for new and current PureTalk customers.

00:00:55.020 PureTalk just added data to every plan and includes a mobile hotspot with no price increases whatsoever.

00:01:01.080 If you've considered PureTalk before but haven't made the switch yet, take a look again.

00:01:04.920 For just $20 a month, you'll get unlimited talk, text, and now 50% more 5G data plus their new mobile hotspot.

00:01:11.620 This is why I love PureTalk.

00:01:13.320 They're veteran-owned and only hire the best customer service team located right here in the great USA.

00:01:18.400 Most families are saving almost $1,000 a year while enjoying the most dependable 5G network in America.

00:01:22.920 Remember, you vote with how you spend your money, so stop supporting woke wireless companies that don't support you.

00:01:27.940 When you go to PureTalk.com slash Walsh, you'll save an additional 50% off the first month because they actually value you.

00:01:34.300 That's PureTalk.com slash Walsh.

00:01:35.660 PureTalk, wireless for Americans, by Americans.

00:01:38.340 Unlike the media, I have not exactly been fawning over the huge box office numbers this past weekend.

00:01:44.680 But even I must admit that it's rather fascinating to see this kind of success for a film that centers around one of the most devastating and deadly inventions in the history of the human race.

00:01:53.940 Indeed, it is not every day that audiences flock to see a movie about a weapon of mass destruction.

00:01:58.840 And of course, lots of people also went to see Oppenheimer.

00:02:01.740 But Barbie was the bigger film, and it tells the story of a vastly more destructive force.

00:02:07.340 I don't mean the Barbie doll, but rather feminism. 0.94

00:02:10.400 Not every man-made weapon of mass death is as obvious as a nuclear bomb.

00:02:14.180 Mushroom clouds are easy to comprehend and easy to see.

00:02:17.840 The significance is obvious, but the more abstract and tangible threats to human life can be far deadlier than nukes.

00:02:24.600 With that in mind, a few days ago, I tweeted this factually true statement.

00:02:27.840 Here it is, quote, This is a good time to remember that feminism has killed far more people than the atomic bomb. 1.00

00:02:33.180 It is perhaps the most destructive force in human history. 0.69

00:02:35.700 Trans ideology, its offshoot, is competing for the title. 0.94

00:02:39.700 That's what I wrote.

00:02:40.840 Predictably, there was outrage from the left.

00:02:42.820 That was always going to happen.

00:02:44.320 Of course, no matter what I said, I could tweet something really obvious like 2 plus 2 equals 4,

00:02:48.760 or something really innocuous like, I don't know, I enjoy pancakes.

00:02:52.240 And they still call me a bigot and report my account demanding that I be deplatformed.

00:02:56.140 So it was no surprise that this admittedly slightly more provocative statement meant that I would trend on the site for multiple days

00:03:03.540 as the outraged masses had a series of temper tantrums about it.

00:03:07.880 Now, I don't need to give you examples of their responses.

00:03:10.540 They're exactly what you expect. 0.98

00:03:12.080 Matt Walsh is a fascist. 1.00

00:03:13.240 He hates women. 1.00

00:03:13.840 He's a misogynist. 1.00

00:03:14.540 He's a sexist, et cetera, and so forth. 0.91

00:03:16.400 The only mildly interesting feedback came from the so-called gender-critical feminists, 1.00

00:03:20.540 the feminists who opposed trans ideology, who reacted to my statement as if it was some kind of deep betrayal against them.

00:03:28.080 You know, we're on the same side nominally on the trans issue,

00:03:30.880 which means that I am apparently required to pretend that feminism is good. 1.00

00:03:34.880 This is a contract that I signed, apparently, but I don't remember signing it.

00:03:38.620 We'll return to the gender-critical set in a few minutes.

00:03:41.240 Let's get first to the substance of my claim.

00:03:44.940 As far as that goes, feminism's status as a historically destructive force in human history is clear as day. 0.99

00:03:52.220 To begin with, if you accept that unborn babies are human beings,

00:03:56.160 which obviously they are because they could be nothing else,

00:03:59.920 then we can directly blame feminism for 60 million deaths in the United States alone. 1.00

00:04:05.700 Now, when I pointed this out, Martina Navratilova, a tennis legend and outspoken feminist, responded,

00:04:10.460 A fetus is not a baby. What a moronic thing to say. 0.99

00:04:14.580 You spout about language used by the trans lobby and then do the same, calling embryos babies. 1.00

00:04:19.280 Hypocrite much? 0.96

00:04:21.060 Well, Martina, I guess I need to ask you an even more basic question than the one that I asked trans activists. 0.98

00:04:26.620 And that question is, what is a human?

00:04:29.620 Can you answer that, Martina? I bet you can't.

00:04:33.100 I guarantee you cannot come up with a coherent definition of human that excludes unborn children.

00:04:38.240 Okay, you cannot coherently define human or person in a way that allows you to be one,

00:04:45.980 but leaves unborn humans out in the cold.

00:04:48.400 The word fetus, Martina, simply means offspring.

00:04:52.480 You are pretending that there is some sort of innate definitional distinction between offspring and baby.

00:04:59.380 A distinction that you believe is so important that it gives us the moral right to destroy, quote, fetuses en masse.

00:05:05.320 But a baby is the young offspring of two human parents.

00:05:11.320 They mean the same thing.

00:05:12.640 The only thing that the word baby does is stipulate which stage of development the offspring is currently going through.

00:05:18.560 A human in the womb is in a stage of human development.

00:05:21.660 A six-month-old baby outside the womb is in a stage of human development.

00:05:26.060 Same for teenagers.

00:05:27.580 Same for middle-aged former tennis players.

00:05:29.520 These are stages of development.

00:05:31.220 They are ages.

00:05:32.040 So if you say that it's okay to kill fetuses but not babies, 0.98

00:05:36.720 you might as well say that it's okay to kill 41-year-olds but not 42-year-olds. 0.98

00:05:40.280 The position makes no sense.

00:05:43.100 We're left with the harsh reality that abortion has killed 60 million human beings,

00:05:46.880 a death toll that can be laid squarely at the feet of feminism, 1.00

00:05:50.760 since feminism has made the defense and promotion of this atrocity into one of its core tenets. 1.00

00:05:54.700 That already puts it at least in the running for most destructive force,

00:06:01.380 competing perhaps only with communism.

00:06:03.520 But the distinction between feminism and communism is not absolute.

00:06:06.860 I mean, these are related ideologies at a minimum.

00:06:09.640 Marx and Engels called for the abolition of the nuclear family,

00:06:11.980 just as many modern feminists do. 1.00

00:06:13.360 We'll get to that in a second.

00:06:14.180 In the past century, feminists have succeeded in destroying millions of babies 1.00

00:06:21.160 and also the nuclear family to a degree that American communists could only dream of.

00:06:26.040 According to a study from Child Trends,

00:06:27.900 just 9% of children lived with single parents in the 1960s,

00:06:31.880 before the rise of modern feminism.

00:06:33.700 By 2012, that number had increased to nearly 30%.

00:06:36.420 In 2019, Pew found that the United States has the highest rate of children

00:06:40.700 living in single-family homes of any country in the world.

00:06:45.140 Divorce is a major driving factor for these numbers, of course.

00:06:47.800 From the 1960s to the 1980s, divorce rates in the U.S. more than doubled.

00:06:52.020 You'll often see studies showing that in the last few years, divorce rates are down,

00:06:55.500 but that's only because many people aren't bothering to get married in the first place.

00:06:58.940 They've just given up on the whole institution.

00:07:02.320 Given what we're seeing, it's impossible to argue the family unit

00:07:05.440 hasn't been dramatically weakened due to the influence of feminism.

00:07:10.500 And weakened on purpose.

00:07:12.220 They've always been very clear that that's what they want to do.

00:07:17.180 Feminism set out to weaken and dismantle and destroy the nuclear family. 1.00

00:07:21.460 And then what do you know?

00:07:22.420 As feminism is ascendant, the nuclear family begins to fall apart. 0.94

00:07:26.640 And then what?

00:07:27.340 We look at that and say, oh, it must be a coincidence.

00:07:29.060 Those two things aren't related.

00:07:30.020 If you accept that the family is an essential building block of civilization,

00:07:35.640 then we're left with an ideology that has murdered enough children to fill 800 football stadiums

00:07:41.360 and eaten away at the very fabric of civilization in the process.

00:07:44.460 Feminism's defenders, even on the right, will point out that in spite of all this, 0.96

00:07:50.620 feminists gave us women's suffrage and they allowed women to take out mortgages and credit cards. 1.00

00:07:55.820 But even if I agreed that we needed feminism specifically to bring about those changes, 0.99

00:08:00.260 and I don't, they still don't begin to outweigh the cost.

00:08:03.760 If I could trade in women's suffrage to get back the 60 million humans that feminism killed, 1.00

00:08:09.820 I would do it in a heartbeat.

00:08:11.840 Any moral decent person would.

00:08:15.060 Another defense that you'll hear from feminists, and many on the right as well, 1.00

00:08:18.520 is that first wave feminism was good and second wave feminism was also, you know, okay. 0.91

00:08:25.060 But the others, the other waves, that's where it all went off the rails, they say.

00:08:29.360 These people will attempt to argue that the first and second waves of feminism are somehow distinct 0.97

00:08:33.340 from the modern incarnations.

00:08:36.160 All they cared about back in the old days of feminism, supposedly, were just basic human rights. 1.00

00:08:42.000 This is a misconception.

00:08:44.480 Even the blessed first waivers were generally anti-man and anti-family, and they were clear about it.

00:08:50.380 Mary Wollstonecraft, considered one of the founders of the feminist movement,

00:08:53.260 had so much disdain for marriage that she wrote two novels about it.

00:08:55.920 Jane Addams, another much-celebrated first wave feminist, supported eugenics.

00:08:59.920 Margaret Fuller, one of the most widely cited first wave feminists,

00:09:03.060 wrote extensively about marriage, but she also argued that unmarried life leads to

00:09:07.280 greater connection with the divine.

00:09:09.360 Here's a passage from her book, Woman in the 19th Century,

00:09:12.020 in which Fuller praises unmarried women, who she calls old maids,

00:09:15.680 because they aren't shackled to their husbands. 1.00

00:09:17.460 Quote,

00:09:17.680 Now, there are many more examples, but really, all you need to do is look at what happened

00:09:33.420 after first wave feminism. 0.90

00:09:35.900 Just a few short decades later, we got the legalization of baby murder nationwide,

00:09:39.900 as well as overt calls for the abolition of the nuclear family.

00:09:45.280 They certainly weren't subtle about it.

00:09:48.220 One of the most famous second wave feminists, Kate Millett, 0.88

00:09:51.420 is known precisely because she wanted to destroy marriage and the traditional family unit. 1.00

00:09:56.120 That was her whole point.

00:09:58.120 Here's a quote from Millett's dissertation, Sexual Politics.

00:10:01.080 A sexual revolution would require an end of traditional sexual inhibitions and taboos,

00:10:06.820 particularly those that most threaten patriarchal monogamous marriage.

00:10:10.580 Homosexuality, illegitimacy, adolescence, pre- and extramarital sexuality,

00:10:15.900 the goal of revolution would be a permissive single standard of sexual freedom,

00:10:20.140 and one uncorrupted by the crass, exploitative economic base of traditional sexual alliances.

00:10:27.400 Now, Millett goes on to admit, in The Understatement of the Century,

00:10:29.960 it seems unlikely all this could take place without drastic effect upon the patriarchal proprietary family.

00:10:36.440 She also argues that the nuclear family is an obstacle which precludes, quote,

00:10:40.020 a woman's contribution to the larger society,

00:10:42.520 and complains that the traditional method of child care, quote, unquote,

00:10:46.300 i.e. a mother taking care of her own children, is, quote, unsystematic and inefficient. 0.99

00:10:51.840 Now, this is feminism 50 years ago, 1.00

00:10:55.380 outwardly opposed to the nuclear family, the very foundation of human civilization itself.

00:11:00.920 It goes without saying that Millett was also a big proponent of abortion.

00:11:03.560 She said that she considers the legalization of abortion to be one of the great achievements of the feminist movement.

00:11:09.540 This is the belief system that virtually all second-wave feminists endorse, 1.00

00:11:12.560 destroy the family, kill children. 1.00

00:11:14.420 Now, ask yourself this question. 1.00

00:11:16.140 If feminism was such an obvious good in its original incarnation, 1.00

00:11:19.480 then how in the hell could it have devolved into an anti-family, pro-abortion feeding frenzy

00:11:24.700 in the span of a few decades?

00:11:28.040 You know, it's like saying that the Bolsheviks had the right idea, 1.00

00:11:30.420 but who could have predicted the gulags?

00:11:31.780 If most people will agree that every wave of feminism was a disaster,

00:11:37.300 except for the first one and maybe the second,

00:11:39.320 then a thinking person must start to wonder whether that first one was really so great after all.

00:11:44.920 Okay, if you're going to say that,

00:11:48.640 oh yeah, the first part of this was great, but everything after it was terrible,

00:11:52.520 well, given that the first part led to everything else,

00:11:54.980 then it sounds like the first part wasn't so good.

00:11:56.920 A thinking person might start to see that even in its first wave,

00:12:02.040 there were the kernels, the poisonous seeds,

00:12:04.560 that would soon sprout into this hideous, deformed tree that we all see today.

00:12:10.100 A tree with many branches, and one of those branches is trans ideology. 0.73

00:12:15.420 The gender-critical feminists that I mentioned earlier are critical of trans ideology, 1.00

00:12:20.260 but they don't understand how their own movement created it.

00:12:23.600 The feminists are the ones who first argued that men and women are basically the same,

00:12:29.200 aside from meaningless anatomical differences.

00:12:31.860 They are the ones who declared that most sex differences are social constructs.

00:12:36.160 Sound familiar?

00:12:38.240 They don't want to admit any of this, of course,

00:12:40.200 so some gender-critical feminists have tried to flip this around 1.00

00:12:43.120 and say that those of us with, quote, traditional views on sex

00:12:46.600 have been the ones to set the stage for trans ideology.

00:12:50.580 The feminist writer Helen Joyce made this argument last year

00:12:53.140 when she was in a podcast and she was asked about my film, What is Woman?

00:12:58.000 And here's what she said, watch.

00:13:00.240 I don't think it's a great film, funnily.

00:13:02.180 I mean, I'm writing a review of it today from my own newsletter.

00:13:06.520 So, I mean, you know who Matt Walsh is.

00:13:10.540 He's a very conservative Catholic.

00:13:12.240 He's somebody who's anti-abortion, anti-

00:13:14.740 He says feminism is the worst thing that's ever happened to Western civilization, 1.00

00:13:17.780 you know, et cetera, et cetera.

00:13:18.580 And I don't think he understands, in fact, I'm certain he doesn't understand,

00:13:22.400 that that makes him part of the whole problem.

00:13:25.020 Because the problem, and it's visible all through the film,

00:13:29.200 is that both conservatives like Matt Walsh and gender ideologues that he's mocking,

00:13:35.100 fairly, completely fairly,

00:13:36.460 both believe that gender stereotypes and gender roles are inherent to what it is to be a woman.

00:13:44.180 One side uses them to define what a woman is. 1.00

00:13:47.160 Matt Walsh thinks that they're inseparable.

00:13:49.180 He understands that a man is a male person and a woman is a female person, 0.74

00:13:52.080 but he thinks a whole load of things follow from that,

00:13:54.660 about who's in charge, who makes the sandwiches,

00:13:57.520 whose voice gets heard, and all of this sort of thing. 0.96

00:13:59.640 Well, if you give your average teenage girl the choice between cutting off her breasts, 1.00

00:14:05.400 taking testosterone,

00:14:07.180 and having a shot of being seen as the half of humanity that's regarded as truly human,

00:14:11.600 or accepting that she's Matt Walsh's wife in the kitchen making sandwiches

00:14:15.520 and asking him to open the jar, which is very near the end of the film, 1.00

00:14:18.560 she'll cut her tits off and take testosterone. 1.00

00:14:20.960 Oh my God. 1.00

00:14:21.380 So he's part of the problem.

00:14:24.320 That's interesting, Helen.

00:14:25.460 Helen, you're saying that rigid gender roles, as you would describe them, 0.97

00:14:29.320 give rise to trans ideology.

00:14:31.800 Well, Helen, did you watch the section of the film where I go to the Maasai tribe in Kenya?

00:14:37.080 They have extremely well-defined and rigid gender roles, 1.00

00:14:40.380 and have for literally thousands of years,

00:14:42.820 and they've never even heard of transgenderism.

00:14:45.400 In fact, my, quote, traditional view of sex was the dominant view across the entire world,

00:14:50.580 everywhere, in all places, everywhere on the planet,

00:14:53.600 since the dawn of human civilization, up until just this past century.

00:14:58.160 And yet, for thousands and thousands and thousands of years,

00:15:01.940 traditional gender roles never led to any woman cutting her breasts off 1.00

00:15:06.300 in an attempt to identify as a man.

00:15:08.980 Have you thought about this, Helen?

00:15:10.720 If my view of sex is old and ancient,

00:15:13.720 which it absolutely is, I admit that proudly,

00:15:16.020 and if my view also leads directly to trans ideology,

00:15:20.220 then why isn't trans ideology also old and ancient?

00:15:24.380 Do you see the problem here?

00:15:26.540 Well, this thing that Matt Walsh espouses leads directly to trans ideology,

00:15:30.640 and yet people have been espousing what Matt Walsh espouses for thousands of years,

00:15:35.800 and trans ideology came along five seconds ago.

00:15:39.840 Well, that was a delayed reaction, wasn't it, Helen?

00:15:42.340 That's interesting.

00:15:43.140 No, trans ideology came about directly on the high heels of feminism. 0.98

00:15:50.640 Why?

00:15:51.500 Because, again, feminists are the ones who first argued that men and women are effectively the same,

00:15:56.980 aside from what they considered insignificant anatomical differences.

00:16:01.180 Feminists are the ones who declared that all gender roles and gender stereotypes are social constructs. 1.00

00:16:07.180 For many decades, if anybody argued that women can compete with men in sports

00:16:11.680 and do everything men can do, it would have been a feminist. 1.00

00:16:15.840 Now that argument primarily comes from trans activists,

00:16:18.480 and you want to pretend that they aren't saying exactly what your club has been saying for like a century?

00:16:24.900 It's absurd.

00:16:27.320 Helen, you say that I understand that a man is a male person and a woman is a female person,

00:16:32.420 but that I think, quote, a whole bunch of other things follow from that.

00:16:35.480 Yes, you're exactly right.

00:16:38.420 I think that being a man means something, and it means more than just anatomy.

00:16:43.100 And being a woman means something, and it means more than just anatomy. 0.99

00:16:47.460 See, what you don't understand is that your rejection of this principle,

00:16:51.260 your claim that a whole bunch of things don't follow from being a man or a woman,

00:16:54.960 that being a man or a woman has essentially no significance aside from differences in sex organs,

00:17:00.340 means that you and your ideology are to blame for exactly the thing you pretend to be fighting against.

00:17:07.480 You made this.

00:17:08.880 You did it.

00:17:10.500 But it's no surprise that such a murderous and evil ideology refuses to be honest with the world. 0.92

00:17:17.420 Feminism has brought about destruction, misery, confusion. 1.00

00:17:20.680 So much confusion that it's even confused about itself,

00:17:24.560 which is why so often, you know, feminists themselves seem to understand feminism least of all. 1.00

00:17:32.840 This is what you get from an ideology whose primary goal is to dismantle and destabilize,

00:17:38.300 a goal that it has certainly achieved.

00:17:41.660 It was Oppenheimer who said the words, quoting Hindu scripture,

00:17:44.860 but feminism has a much greater claim to the title. 1.00

00:17:47.400 Now I am become death, destroyer of worlds.

00:17:51.780 And that is feminism in a nutshell. 1.00

00:17:55.620 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:18:02.740 If you want some positive news in the culture war, 0.96

00:18:04.920 well, since Roe v. Wade was overturned,

00:18:06.460 the left has lost their minds making abortion their official sacrament.

00:18:09.780 The pro-life efforts, which are more important now than ever, are booming.

00:18:13.040 You heard that right.

00:18:13.740 Despite the narrative, pro-lifers didn't go away.

00:18:15.860 They increased in numbers, in fact.

00:18:17.920 As one of the largest pro-life organizations in the world,

00:18:20.360 no one's in a better position than 40 Days for Life to end abortion in each state in a post-Roe America. 0.98

00:18:25.220 40 Days for Life is changing hearts and minds in the most blue pro-abortion states.

00:18:29.040 They've had a record number of locations since Roe was overturned,

00:18:31.700 and they grew in both volunteers and locations.

00:18:34.300 With about a million volunteers in 1,500 cities,

00:18:36.660 they hold peaceful vigils outside abortion facilities.

00:18:38.980 You can help them in the fight and also fight the ongoing legal battles,

00:18:42.740 which is so important, by protecting free speech for their volunteers,

00:18:45.160 by giving a tax-deductible gift of any amount to 40daysforlife.com.

00:18:49.620 That's 40daysforlife.com.

00:18:52.160 40daysforlife.com.

00:18:53.920 All right, I just want to say from the start here that the UFO hearings are happening today on Capitol Hill.

00:18:59.080 The House Oversight Committee is hearing from witnesses about UFOs.

00:19:02.200 It's a historic moment.

00:19:03.440 Needless to say, you know, this is like my Super Bowl.

00:19:05.820 It's a very exciting time for me, and I think indeed for the entire country, or at least it should be.

00:19:13.240 If we can't all appreciate this and enjoy it, then I don't know what that says about our country.

00:19:17.880 And the fact is that we can't all appreciate it and enjoy it.

00:19:20.640 In fact, you know, I can't even—I want to enjoy the UFO hearings,

00:19:24.800 and part of that is following along on social media.

00:19:28.300 But so much of the commentary is,

00:19:30.140 this is a distraction.

00:19:31.280 They're trying to distract us.

00:19:32.480 As I've said a million times, like, you think they need to do this to distract us?

00:19:38.880 You flatter us way too much.

00:19:40.500 You flatter the American population way too much when you think they have—

00:19:43.480 They have to go to these extremes.

00:19:46.840 They have to make up stories about aliens to distract us.

00:19:50.240 We are already the most perpetually distracted group of people that have ever existed on the planet.

00:19:55.380 Okay?

00:19:55.900 We're distracted by anything, any shiny, any bouncy ball that bounces across through them,

00:20:00.940 any shiny object, any squirrel running through the yard, we're distracted by.

00:20:05.240 And you think that they have to sit around in smoky rooms and come up with all these elaborate schemes to distract us.

00:20:10.340 Because otherwise we're—you know, otherwise we're really focused in on the important issues in society, aren't we?

00:20:15.120 So they've got to try really hard.

00:20:16.780 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:20:19.580 That's not what's going on here.

00:20:20.760 What's really going on is they're having UFO hearings because we are in the midst of an alien invasion.

00:20:28.520 That's obviously the more logical explanation.

00:20:32.340 Or maybe it's somewhere in between those two extremes.

00:20:34.020 I don't know.

00:20:34.640 But anyway, it's—the hearing's going on right now, and we'll talk more about—

00:20:38.320 I don't want you to think—I don't want you to tune into the show today.

00:20:41.100 And I don't mention the UFO hearings, and you think, well, what has happened?

00:20:44.360 Has Matt himself been—is it a body snatched by the aliens?

00:20:47.100 Why is he not talking about it?

00:20:48.620 The answer is that I want to wait for it all to happen.

00:20:50.660 It's happening right now as I speak.

00:20:52.860 And then we can go into great depth tomorrow, which I know is something—

00:20:57.640 that's a tease for tomorrow's show that will be very exciting for, you know, at least 8% or 9% of the audience.

00:21:04.900 So we'll start instead with this.

00:21:06.160 TMZ reports, LeBron James' son, Bronny, was rushed to a hospital after suffering cardiac arrest during a basketball workout.

00:21:12.020 TMZ Sports has learned.

00:21:14.500 A James family spokesperson tells TMZ Sport yesterday, while practicing, Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest.

00:21:19.900 Medical staff was able to treat Bronny and take him to the hospital.

00:21:22.860 He's now in stable condition and no longer in ICU.

00:21:24.900 We ask for respect and privacy for the James family, and we'll update media when there's more information.

00:21:28.820 So that's all we really know is that he collapsed.

00:21:31.580 There was a cardiac—he had cardiac arrest.

00:21:33.220 He was unconscious, brought to a hospital, but now he's in stable condition.

00:21:39.260 He's no longer in critical condition.

00:21:42.060 And that's all we've been told.

00:21:44.900 Now, obviously, the conversation around this incident has revolved mainly around the COVID vaccine

00:21:49.820 and the kind of assumption that this must be related to the COVID vaccine.

00:21:54.640 I'll say for my part, I'm not comfortable declaring that the two are related because, to begin with,

00:22:00.300 I don't even know if the kid took the jab.

00:22:01.740 So it seems to me that we would at least need to know that much before we can draw any kind of conclusions at all.

00:22:07.260 And I'm not sure that it's safe to assume that a healthy teenage male took the jab.

00:22:13.380 It's safe to assume that his dad probably would have claimed that he took it.

00:22:17.840 But did he actually?

00:22:20.200 I don't know.

00:22:20.980 One thing we have to remember about a lot of these celebrities who are out endorsing the jab

00:22:29.120 and pushing it on other people, just because they were out endorsing it and talking about how great it is

00:22:33.840 and LeBron James was one of them, it doesn't mean they actually believed it and took it themselves.

00:22:37.860 In fact, I think you'd give them way too much credit if you assume that, oh, well, they were just, they were mistaken

00:22:45.440 and they thought it was a great thing and so they went out and told everyone to take it

00:22:48.820 and then later found out that it wasn't.

00:22:51.540 I think for a lot of these people, they didn't believe anything they were saying about the COVID vaccine,

00:22:55.960 about COVID in general, lockdowns.

00:22:57.280 That's why they were also out talking about how we have to wear masks or we're all going to die

00:23:00.760 and then it was very common to see these people out in public not wearing a mask.

00:23:03.660 So I'm willing to bet that a lot of the same kind of thing was happening with the COVID vaccine.

00:23:08.680 A lot of these celebrities who said they took it didn't really and certainly didn't give it to their kids.

00:23:14.340 I'm sure many of them did, but there are many who didn't, which is all to say, I don't know, did the kid have it or not?

00:23:21.760 That's information that we would need.

00:23:23.180 But what we do know is that there's just no denying that we're hearing a whole lot about people,

00:23:31.160 young people, healthy people in particular, suddenly keeling over from heart attacks and cardiac arrest.

00:23:36.280 I don't remember hearing about these kind of cases so often in the past.

00:23:39.340 Nobody does.

00:23:41.380 And so this is another one of those cases where we're not supposed to believe our lying eyes, our lying ears.

00:23:45.960 We see things happening and we think, well, this is strange.

00:23:49.580 This doesn't happen often.

00:23:50.880 I mean, if there were 18-year-old kids collapsing from cardiac arrest commonly, I would have remembered that.

00:23:59.140 It seems like this is happening a lot more now.

00:24:03.500 And that's our intuition based on what we are observing.

00:24:10.740 But we're told from the media, oh, don't trust that.

00:24:13.180 Yeah, you think that.

00:24:14.020 You think it, but that's not the case.

00:24:17.060 No, what we're seeing is obviously true.

00:24:19.120 We're not imagining this.

00:24:21.460 Now, we heard about cases of people, even young people, collapsing from cardiac arrests and other heart-related things in the past.

00:24:29.680 That's always existed.

00:24:31.700 But not to this extent.

00:24:33.060 Not this often.

00:24:34.940 And that's why you're always going to have this speculation every time something like this happens.

00:24:38.460 You can't complain about speculation.

00:24:39.960 Because speculating is what people do when facts are withheld from them.

00:24:44.140 We're human beings.

00:24:45.080 We have brains.

00:24:45.800 We can't turn them off or put them on idle mode just because the powers that be tell us to do that.

00:24:51.520 So they say, don't speculate about the connection between the COVID jab and all these people keeling over suddenly.

00:24:55.760 Even if I wanted to, which I don't, I can't just say, okay, well, click.

00:25:00.980 I won't think about that possibility anymore.

00:25:03.460 As you wish, master.

00:25:05.400 No, that doesn't happen.

00:25:07.860 So people are going to wonder and they're going to speculate.

00:25:11.320 And the best thing you can do is tell the truth and talk about it.

00:25:14.100 Get the information out there and start with this.

00:25:15.680 Did Bronnie James get the vaccine or not?

00:25:17.320 It's not that at this point we can even trust whatever answer they give us to that question.

00:25:22.560 But we should get an answer to start with.

00:25:27.800 And if you really didn't get the vaccine, then you could just say that.

00:25:31.640 If you didn't get the vaccine, you don't want people connecting this to the vaccine.

00:25:35.340 That would be understandable.

00:25:36.400 But I would think the first thing you would do is come out and say, no, he didn't even take it.

00:25:39.740 So it had nothing to do with that.

00:25:44.100 And then we could go from there.

00:25:45.200 But it has to start with giving people information.

00:25:51.620 And they can complain all they want about the rampant speculation and the quote-unquote conspiracy theories that go on.

00:25:57.840 But it's all their fault.

00:25:59.400 People that are withholding information, it's their fault.

00:26:02.340 Because when you leave this vacuum of information, people are going to fill it with speculation.

00:26:10.500 They're going to theorize.

00:26:11.580 And they're going to think about, well, what could this be?

00:26:12.940 They're going to come up with guesses and educated guesses.

00:26:15.500 And that's what people do.

00:26:18.620 Now, I want to make one other point.

00:26:20.040 You know, everyone, well, most people, at least on the right, seem to agree now that obviously COVID was handled horribly.

00:26:28.820 The vaccine was rushed out.

00:26:31.180 Many awful things happened as a result.

00:26:32.760 Here's another question that I have.

00:26:35.940 Is there going to be any accountability for that at all?

00:26:39.640 Is anyone going to be held responsible?

00:26:43.560 These are rhetorical questions.

00:26:45.020 I know the answer.

00:26:45.520 We've already answered that question.

00:26:46.500 The answer is no.

00:26:47.840 No one is going to be held accountable for this.

00:26:50.080 All of the political leaders, I'm talking about Republicans now, who were behind all of this.

00:26:56.320 It wasn't just Republicans behind it.

00:26:57.440 But I'm talking, you know, the Republicans were not holding their own leaders accountable.

00:27:02.600 But they've all been let completely off the hook.

00:27:05.020 You know, this kind of goes back to what I just said about the UFO hearings and this idea that, oh, they need to come up with UFOs and alien stories to distract us.

00:27:15.000 No, because think about this.

00:27:16.900 I mean, for years, for two or three years, COVID was the central focus.

00:27:27.380 Certainly for at least the first six months of COVID, it was like the only thing that anyone talked about.

00:27:33.220 And it kind of continued that way, at least for another six months, for a whole year.

00:27:38.300 And there was a lot of talk at the time about, we're going to find out who's responsible for this.

00:27:43.280 All the leaders that led us astray, they're all going to be held responsible.

00:27:47.260 And then COVID kind of leaves the headlines.

00:27:49.420 And almost immediately, everyone forgets about it.

00:27:52.360 All the talk about we're going to hold people responsible.

00:27:55.460 You know, we've moved on.

00:27:56.800 Whatever.

00:27:57.080 It doesn't matter.

00:27:59.040 That's how easily we forget and how easily we're distracted.

00:28:01.560 That something as significant as what we all went through, you know, in the year 2020 and 2021 is something, the entire years of our lives that we all experienced.

00:28:16.280 Something as significant as that can be just forgotten the moment that the media stops talking about it.

00:28:22.080 All right, I enjoyed this recent report from CNN.

00:28:26.480 They went to investigate the shoplifting epidemic in San Francisco.

00:28:30.260 And let's watch what happened during this investigation.

00:28:34.420 Richie Greenberg walked into his San Francisco Walgreens when he saw in the frozen food section this.

00:28:40.080 Chains, heavy chains that went from padlock to padlock on both sides of the doors.

00:28:47.260 And this was bizarre, something I'd never seen before.

00:28:51.040 This is just more icing on the cake telling us that rampant crime has become a regular part of life.

00:29:00.120 So typical that in the 30 minutes we were at this Walgreens, we watched three people, including this man, steal.

00:29:11.120 Did that guy pay?

00:29:13.420 Did that guy pay?

00:29:16.040 He didn't pay?

00:29:16.960 Walgreens says this Richmond neighborhood store with aisles of products like mustard locked behind plexiglass has the highest theft rate of all.

00:29:28.120 Their nearly 9,000 U.S. stores hit more than a dozen times a day.

00:29:32.300 When thieves turned to cleaning out ice cream and frozen burritos, workers grew so frustrated they resorted to the chains.

00:29:39.280 They were ordered down by corporate because of the negative messaging.

00:29:43.320 But Walgreens isn't the only retailer impacted in San Francisco.

00:29:46.960 I'm going to have to ask an employee for help.

00:29:50.980 At this store, frozen food is controlled with a cable lock, fake eyelashes locked behind plexiglass, along with lotion and nail polish.

00:30:01.580 At another grocery store, $14 bags of coffee under lock and key.

00:30:06.900 What is this?

00:30:08.300 Um, I don't know. I don't understand why coffee.

00:30:13.900 Oh, here she is. 0.78

00:30:14.680 But it's become kind of like a police state in San Francisco.

00:30:20.640 I don't know how else to describe it.

00:30:23.220 Police state, sure.

00:30:24.500 It's a police state where people casually stroll into a convenience store and leave with a handful of merchandise without any fear of any sort of prosecution.

00:30:31.340 That's a police state.

00:30:33.840 No, that's that's the exact opposite of police.

00:30:36.000 What you are seeing is the exact opposite of a police state.

00:30:40.860 Companies don't companies don't lock up their bags of coffee behind padlocks in a police state.

00:30:45.780 That happens in a state with no police.

00:30:49.460 So it is, again, very much the opposite problem that you're experiencing in San Francisco.

00:30:53.900 But as always, you know, it's very revealing to look at the kinds of merchandise that places like Walgreens and other stores have to put behind lock and key.

00:31:03.580 It's expensive bags of coffee, ice cream, frozen burritos, fake eyelashes, nail polish, lotion, pancake syrup.

00:31:14.200 Now, what's the significance of that?

00:31:18.200 Well, these are not the items that you grab if you are starving and malnourished, which means that poverty is not driving this problem.

00:31:30.120 Somebody who's poor and desperate and needs to steal to survive isn't going to steal Pete's coffee or a carton of cookie dough ice cream.

00:31:38.740 I've been broke.

00:31:40.480 OK, I was broke for several years.

00:31:42.960 I didn't steal gourmet coffee bags or cartons of ice cream.

00:31:46.000 I just didn't buy them.

00:31:47.700 That's what you do when you're broke.

00:31:48.780 You just don't buy that stuff.

00:31:49.640 I went through years of my life where I never went to the grocery store and bought dessert or expensive coffee.

00:31:55.740 Couldn't afford it.

00:31:57.160 I was surviving.

00:31:58.220 I was I was fine.

00:31:59.360 I wasn't going to die.

00:32:00.880 But but I just couldn't afford that kind of stuff.

00:32:02.560 So I didn't buy it.

00:32:03.780 And it was OK.

00:32:05.900 So what you're seeing here is not poverty.

00:32:08.040 Being poor alone doesn't cause you to do that.

00:32:11.280 Just does.

00:32:13.400 What causes this is when you are totally indifferent.

00:32:16.400 So what we're seeing in San Francisco, along with a lot of other things, is total indifference.

00:32:22.180 It is a form of despair, but but it's not despair brought on by financial desperation.

00:32:27.360 It's the despair of simply not caring about anything, having no moral compass, just doing whatever you want because you want to.

00:32:35.160 That's the despair gripping hold of San Francisco in many places in America, and it's encouraged and facilitated by the government, which is not enforcing the law.

00:32:45.940 You know what someone who's stealing ice cream from Walgreens?

00:32:48.760 You know what they need, what they need most of all, they need a consequence.

00:32:54.100 OK, they need consequences.

00:32:56.420 In fact, everybody needs consequences.

00:32:59.780 This is a basic human need.

00:33:01.440 When you live a life free of consequence, it's it breeds despair.

00:33:07.940 Because without consequence, you don't have direction, you don't have meaning.

00:33:11.160 And you end up with San Francisco, a wasteland where people are just wandering around like zombies and it's disgusting and gross and depressing and ugly.

00:33:21.720 It's what you end up with. 0.78

00:33:22.960 And that's the other thing, too.

00:33:24.180 Ugliness.

00:33:24.800 OK.

00:33:24.920 Here's what we have to understand.

00:33:27.440 Ugliness.

00:33:29.280 Will always be a part of life.

00:33:32.800 In this fallen world that we live in, there will always be ugliness.

00:33:37.860 And we as a society have to choose what kind of ugliness we want.

00:33:44.000 Each society chooses its form of ugliness.

00:33:46.200 It's kind of like in Ghostbusters when they had to choose the form of their destructor and they chose the marshmallow man.

00:33:50.960 Well, each society must choose its ugliness.

00:33:53.760 So people don't like, especially these days, we don't like prisons.

00:33:59.500 We don't like police arresting people.

00:34:02.960 That's ugly.

00:34:03.740 It's an ugly thing.

00:34:04.320 It is.

00:34:04.780 Prisons are ugly places.

00:34:05.880 They're not. 0.77

00:34:06.220 They are.

00:34:06.600 They're not beautiful.

00:34:08.120 It's not beautiful.

00:34:09.080 It's not beautiful to be in a prison. 0.57

00:34:10.240 It's an ugly place.

00:34:11.440 It looks ugly.

00:34:12.520 Ugly things are happening.

00:34:13.500 The whole thing is ugly.

00:34:14.740 The fact that people need to go to prison is ugly.

00:34:17.180 It's all it's all very ugly.

00:34:20.280 Arresting someone.

00:34:21.260 It's a very ugly thing.

00:34:22.360 And it can get even uglier.

00:34:25.340 A police try to arrest.

00:34:26.420 So if they're just arresting someone for stealing ice cream and if the person resists, then the police have to use force because if they don't use force, then there's no point in having the cops in the first place.

00:34:33.720 I mean, if someone can resist arrest and the cops have to go, well, OK, if you don't want to be arrested, never mind.

00:34:37.940 Then that's just the same thing as not having cops in the first place.

00:34:40.180 So if you're going to have the law, then you need to have law enforcement.

00:34:43.360 And if you're going to have law enforcement, it means it requires force, violence.

00:34:49.960 And so they're arresting someone for something petty and the person resists.

00:34:53.360 And so now they have to use force and that person uses force also.

00:34:56.140 And sometimes that person ends up dead.

00:34:59.380 We've seen that many times.

00:35:00.580 George Floyd starts with with a twenty dollars counterfeit bill.

00:35:06.960 And what we often hear from the left is, is it is it worth police are going to kill someone over a twenty dollar bill going to kill someone over shoplifting?

00:35:15.860 Is it worth that?

00:35:19.040 Well, the answer is yes.

00:35:20.840 I mean, it is.

00:35:21.600 Now, the way you're phrasing that is not totally honest.

00:35:24.020 It's not like the cops just showed up and shot someone dead because they were using counterfeit money or because they stole something.

00:35:29.260 So they weren't killed for that.

00:35:33.000 But they were killed in the process of enforcing the laws against that.

00:35:38.960 And it's a very ugly thing.

00:35:40.520 It is.

00:35:41.220 But the point is that if you don't want that ugliness, if you say it's too ugly, I don't want it.

00:35:47.660 It's enforcing the law.

00:35:48.640 It's a very ugly thing.

00:35:49.380 I don't want it.

00:35:50.080 We don't want it in society.

00:35:51.860 It makes my tummy hurt to look at it.

00:35:53.340 Don't want it.

00:35:53.900 Makes me feel uncomfortable.

00:35:56.100 Having all these people in in jails.

00:35:57.960 We hear the left complain about they give us the stats on all the people in jail.

00:36:01.700 It makes me feel like all those people in jail.

00:36:04.020 That's not right.

00:36:04.720 I feel bad about that.

00:36:05.980 That's mean.

00:36:08.440 Well, OK, so we're not going to have that ugliness anymore.

00:36:11.300 The ugliness of enforcing the law and punishing people and consequence and that sort of thing.

00:36:15.500 But you don't escape the ugliness.

00:36:17.000 Then what happens is that the ugliness is elsewhere.

00:36:19.380 In this case, it's everywhere.

00:36:21.660 So if you don't want to contain the ugliness, you're going to end up with it everywhere.

00:36:24.860 Everything becomes ugly.

00:36:26.220 In San Francisco, they do not have the ugliness of enforcing laws, arresting people, carting them off to jail.

00:36:33.380 They don't have that.

00:36:35.480 And so in exchange, everything is ugly.

00:36:38.620 In exchange, they have, you know, bags of coffee behind padlocks in the convenience store.

00:36:48.400 OK, in exchange, if you want to go buy a grocery item, you have to be escorted to the aisle by an employee who takes out a big key ring and unlocks it and hands it to you.

00:36:59.360 That's what you get in exchange for not having the ugliness of law enforcement.

00:37:04.880 I prefer the other option.

00:37:12.400 You know, where at least then the ugly things are contained.

00:37:16.620 And if you are going to have to face that kind of ugly thing, it's because you chose to.

00:37:25.120 You know, you chose to steal and now you've put yourself in a very ugly situation, which means the cops are going to come, you're going to go to jail.

00:37:32.860 It's not going to be good for you.

00:37:34.580 Really ugly situation, but you chose it.

00:37:37.500 You chose it.

00:37:38.700 As opposed to now, if you don't have law enforcement, you don't have consequence, then everyone has to deal with the ugliness, whether they chose it or not.

00:37:51.320 Speaking of ugly things, Daily Wire has this.

00:37:54.420 The University of Texas at Austin will host workshops on affirming LGBTQIA plus people and LGBT allyship, which warn of heterosexual and monosexual privilege. 0.83

00:38:06.060 Monosexual. 0.99

00:38:07.120 It's a thing now.

00:38:07.680 The University's Gender and Sexuality Center hosts a number of different workshops for students, staff, faculty, administrators, which use an intersectional approach to foster and develop allyship practices that center affirming people of color as necessary for affirming women and LGBTQIA plus people.

00:38:24.120 Wait, what does that even mean?

00:38:25.300 Use an intersectional approach to foster and develop allyship practices that center affirming people of color as necessary for affirming women and LGBTQIA plus people.

00:38:37.680 That doesn't mean anything.

00:38:38.840 Of course not.

00:38:39.580 The center will host two workshops next month, affirming LGBTQIA plus people interpersonal advocacy on August 1st and affirming LGBTQIA plus people organizational advocacy on August 3rd.

00:38:51.800 So there's still time for you to sign up for that seminar if you want.

00:38:54.020 But it's all about being an ally.

00:38:55.360 It's all about allyship.

00:38:56.260 And if you're wondering, if you want to know more about what it means to be an ally, well, you can go to one of these workshops or you can watch this.

00:39:02.500 This is a viral TikTok video where a trans-identified person talks about, you know, the need for us, quote, cis people to be allies and also explains what being an ally means.

00:39:15.200 Let's watch that.

00:39:15.720 If you're cis, I want you to message the trans person in your life and ask them what is one thing that you can do to lighten their load this week. 0.87

00:39:26.000 Whether that be grocery shopping, folding laundry, doing dishes.

00:39:30.000 Ask the trans people in your life if there's a task or something that you can offer them to help with the burden that we're carrying.

00:39:37.580 Because we're having to deal with all of this stuff right now while having to deal with all of the life stuff that we regularly deal with.

00:39:44.560 And the regular life stuff that we deal with is life stuff.

00:39:48.720 And then there's transphobia and living as a trans person in the world.

00:39:52.800 And then there's what's going on right now, which is all of that combined.

00:39:56.580 And then send that trans person $5 so they can get themselves a treat. 0.99

00:40:03.420 All this stuff, you know, all this stuff we're dealing with as trans people, all this stuff we're dealing with so much.

00:40:09.120 Yeah, what are you dealing with exactly?

00:40:10.560 What exactly are you dealing with?

00:40:11.940 Are you dealing with being in the most celebrated and catered to group in history?

00:40:20.460 Are you dealing with being, like, relentlessly praised and applauded everywhere you go?

00:40:26.260 By people who have guns to their heads being forced to do so?

00:40:31.180 Upon threat of their lives and reputations being destroyed if they don't affirm and praise everything you do?

00:40:36.600 Are you dealing with that?

00:40:37.920 Is that hard?

00:40:38.600 Is that hard for you?

00:40:39.220 Is it hard for you to be in the most privileged group ever?

00:40:44.080 Oh, is it hard for you to be in a group where, you know, you have so much privilege that society is trying to change the very laws of science and physics to appease you?

00:40:55.760 Is that hard?

00:40:56.420 Is it hard to be in a group where you don't have to abide by the basic rules and the basic systems that the whole rest of humanity has always abided by?

00:41:07.200 Like, for example, if you're a male, you go in the male restroom, and if you're a female, you go in the female restroom. 0.51

00:41:12.140 You don't have to abide by that.

00:41:13.240 You can just go in whatever restroom you want, depending on how you're feeling that day.

00:41:15.520 Is that difficult?

00:41:18.300 Yeah, that sounds really hard.

00:41:19.780 I'm so sorry for that.

00:41:21.340 So sorry for all that that you're dealing with.

00:41:26.060 But you know what?

00:41:26.680 Everyone deals with life stuff.

00:41:28.560 That's just called being a person.

00:41:30.280 And having to occasionally encounter people who don't agree with you or are not going to affirm you, God forbid, that's called being a person.

00:41:42.140 Do you know how often I encounter people who don't agree with me and don't want to affirm me?

00:41:46.840 Now, the good thing is I don't need their affirmation.

00:41:48.800 I've never asked for it.

00:41:50.000 I don't go around desperately seeking it.

00:41:52.880 But I got to tell you, there are a lot of people that have a very non-affirmative attitude when it comes to me.

00:41:57.180 But you don't see me, you know, panhandling, saying, give me $5 so I can buy a coffee to assuage this deep hurt that I'm experiencing.

00:42:11.380 So what we hear there is if you want to be an ally, then basically means be a servant, be a servant to trans people, which this is the important point about allyship.

00:42:21.520 So we'll get to what does it mean to be, if you're interested in being an ally of trans identified people, which I'm not interested at all.

00:42:30.000 But if you are, then this is what it means for you.

00:42:32.640 It means that you are a servant.

00:42:34.140 Because what we find is that when the left talks about being an ally, whether it's a heterosexual person being an ally to the LGBT cult or a white person being an ally to black people, whatever it is.

00:42:45.520 Anytime they talk about allyship, it is not really an alliance, but rather a servant relationship.

00:42:53.560 It is subservient.

00:42:55.520 It is a one-way street, which is not typically the way that an alliance is supposed to work.

00:43:01.340 So the alliance, the allyship that you find from trans people, it's quite similar to, I guess, the way that U.S. foreign policy approaches alliances these days, where it's always one-sided, where our allies are our countries that we do everything for them and we protect them and give them everything and give them money and give them weapons and give them everything.

00:43:25.620 And they give us absolutely nothing in return.

00:43:30.060 That's what it means.

00:43:30.880 That's what an alliance means in the context of modern U.S. foreign policy.

00:43:35.120 And it's, I guess, the trans folks have taken a page from that book.

00:43:42.100 Only in this case, we, so we, as the non-trans, we play the role of the U.S. government and they are all the other countries. 0.81

00:43:48.860 And so we are allies of theirs by doing everything for them and they do nothing for us.

00:43:55.620 Because in a real alliance, okay, if there's going to be an actual alliance here, an allyship, it means that you have to do something too.

00:44:03.120 So I guess what I'm going to, I would flip this back around, you know, if you're a trans person talking about being an ally, but what are you doing for me?

00:44:09.840 What the hell are you, what do I get out of this?

00:44:11.940 So you've just explained all the things that I should do for you to make you feel better. 0.99

00:44:15.600 What the hell are you doing?

00:44:17.240 What are you doing for us? 0.85

00:44:19.840 We know what you want from us.

00:44:21.620 That's all you ever talk about.

00:44:22.920 All you ever talk about is all the things you want from us.

00:44:25.620 And all the things you deserve.

00:44:27.440 The only thing you ever talk about.

00:44:29.080 What are you doing for everybody else, okay?

00:44:31.940 What are you doing for us?

00:44:34.120 You want me to be your ally?

00:44:35.680 What do I get out of it, okay?

00:44:39.340 It's not just you as self-interest.

00:44:41.220 That's all you're focused on.

00:44:44.180 What do I get?

00:44:44.900 So I have to give up everything I know about reality for your sake and give you money and run errands for you.

00:44:55.220 And then you do what?

00:44:57.800 I get what?

00:44:59.140 Nothing?

00:45:00.520 Exactly.

00:45:01.320 Well, no thanks.

00:45:02.840 Thanks for the offer, but no thanks.

00:45:05.100 I think I'll just continue on living my life exactly as I was before.

00:45:10.300 And if it upsets you or offends you, I don't care.

00:45:13.200 Just don't at all.

00:45:15.980 Good.

00:45:16.440 Glad we cleared that up.

00:46:34.420 Brian says, most of us have experienced taking a child to the park only to hear them constantly saying, watch me, dad, watch me, watch me.

00:46:41.680 It's as if they can't have any fun unless their parent is keenly focused upon their every move.

00:46:46.180 Well, I believe that the cell phone has now enabled adults to channel this same childish desire to be watched while they're having fun.

00:46:53.600 Mystery solved.

00:46:54.860 There's a lot of truth to that.

00:46:55.920 It's an insightful take.

00:46:58.280 Great insight there.

00:46:58.900 And, of course, the difference is that for children, this is a natural.

00:47:05.400 It's a natural desire.

00:47:06.280 It's a healthy desire.

00:47:07.260 The child wants to be watched, wants you to pay attention.

00:47:10.760 This is really, like, this is actually almost all that kids want.

00:47:15.240 It really boils down to this.

00:47:17.960 I mean, they're the basic needs that they have.

00:47:19.640 Obviously, that you have to fulfill as a parent.

00:47:21.680 You have to feed them and clothe them and provide shelter and all the rest of it.

00:47:24.640 But outside of that, what they want most of all is just your attention.

00:47:29.460 They want you to pay attention to them.

00:47:31.620 And they can't have it all the time.

00:47:34.040 So kids want attention all the time.

00:47:35.680 They can't always have it because the rest of your life continues and you have to be able to do other things that are not directly focused on them.

00:47:42.260 Right?

00:47:43.480 And for their own sake, you have to be able to do that.

00:47:46.480 But they do want attention.

00:47:49.200 And they need a lot of attention as well.

00:47:51.680 And it really is as simple as that most of the time.

00:47:53.800 And I think for a lot of parents who get really frustrated, as we talked, I don't remember if it was a member's block or not, but the parents who are miserable as parents.

00:48:01.440 And it is true that there are not every, we talk about the joys of parents.

00:48:03.840 It doesn't mean that every parent is joyful.

00:48:06.540 There are plenty of parents who are, in fact, miserable.

00:48:08.360 But it's not because there's anything wrong with being a parent.

00:48:11.240 It's really there's something wrong with them.

00:48:12.320 It's a character flaw in them that they are too self-focused and self-interested.

00:48:16.600 And they're unwilling to just do the basic things like just pay attention to your kid.

00:48:22.900 It really is.

00:48:23.740 It's often just as simple as that.

00:48:25.140 That's all your kid wants.

00:48:27.040 Nothing elaborate, too.

00:48:28.200 Just sit down.

00:48:30.000 Just sit down and pay attention to them.

00:48:31.660 That's it.

00:48:32.040 But instead, I think you have, yeah, you have these adults who never grew up, who never got over that phase.

00:48:40.800 Because as you point out, the Internet and social media and cell phones, that kind of, they feed into this.

00:48:45.020 So you always have this desire to get attention from other people.

00:48:48.140 And then they end up having kids and their kids are begging for attention from them.

00:48:52.220 But the parent is on the phone trying to get attention from other people.

00:48:56.700 And it's a very sad situation.

00:48:58.020 We've seen this at playgrounds all the time.

00:49:01.380 I mean, you go, anytime you take your kid to the playground and you look around, you're going to find there are some parents who are involved in paying attention and they're interacting with their kids.

00:49:09.000 But then you also find many cases.

00:49:11.660 The kid is out playing at the playground and the mom is sitting on the bench just looking at the phone the entire time.

00:49:17.980 And she's trying to get attention from the phone and the child's trying to get attention from her.

00:49:22.080 Mommy, look at what I'm doing. 1.00

00:49:23.720 She looks up.

00:49:24.320 Oh, it looks great, honey.

00:49:25.420 Right back to the phone.

00:49:27.960 It is a shame.

00:49:28.680 Vander says, or Xander, small, I can't read.

00:49:34.460 I get her frustration and roll my eyes at people taking selfies.

00:49:36.760 But look at it this way.

00:49:37.800 For all the people who were there wanting to listen to her music and pay attention and paid for it, she interrupted the song for all of them to call out the people who weren't paying attention.

00:49:46.280 Yeah, and that's the criticism of Miranda Lambert. 0.64

00:49:48.740 But at the same time, look, sometimes for the sake of the greater good, you know, these sorts of things need to happen.

00:49:55.200 And so I do appreciate that.

00:49:58.040 It's unusual.

00:49:58.960 It's unorthodox.

00:50:00.960 And it seems like a small thing.

00:50:02.680 It seems petty to stop in the middle of your concert to scold someone for taking a selfie.

00:50:06.460 But if we are going to get past the selfie epidemic, the selfie scourge, it's going to require things like this.

00:50:16.440 LMAO, the funny thing is I've always felt the same way as Matt has described about selfies.

00:50:20.360 I had some family complain at me asking why I didn't take any photos of my vacation.

00:50:25.440 I thought, why did I need a picture?

00:50:27.100 I was there.

00:50:27.740 So the next vacation, I was taking photos of myself at certain locations and felt weird.

00:50:33.360 I don't get it.

00:50:34.260 Yeah, I always have felt the same way.

00:50:35.840 There's a certain instinct people have to take photos all the time that I don't quite have.

00:50:40.900 So it always feels unnatural for me, even on the rare occasion when I take a picture.

00:50:46.140 And, you know, I said yesterday that the real shame here is that people are, really, they're just always taking pictures of their own faces.

00:50:52.960 And so you're filling your phone with just most people, if you go and you look at your saved photos on your phone, and there are thousands of them, and it's going to be like 95% just your own face over and over and over again, which is kind of grotesque in a lot of ways.

00:51:12.800 And so at least if you're going to take pictures and you're on vacation or something, turn the phone around and take pictures of the things that are out there.

00:51:18.520 But even that I don't do, because I also figure, hey, you know, I'm out somewhere, we're on the lake, and there's a beautiful sunset.

00:51:26.260 And sometimes I'll think, well, that's a beautiful sunset.

00:51:27.920 Maybe I should take a picture of that.

00:51:29.580 But then I think, well, there are, why do I need a picture of that?

00:51:32.120 There are, if I want to see a digital image of a sunset, there are like a million I could Google that are better than anything I could take here.

00:51:39.900 I don't need to take a picture of this sunset and post it online.

00:51:42.300 Everyone knows what a beautiful sunset looks like, and they can go on Google in half a second and find a more beautiful sunset than that.

00:51:48.900 So there's no point in doing it.

00:51:50.660 I might as well just experience the sunset right now and experience it in the totality of it rather than experience it through this little tiny screen.

00:52:00.520 And finally, Alan says, as a father who actually took my daughter to see this horrible Barbie film,

00:52:05.340 I can assure anyone reading this that the movie is far worse than anything Matt Walsh could possibly describe,

00:52:10.100 because he had the sense not to sit through it.

00:52:12.700 I have never heard the word patriarchy more in a film in my life.

00:52:15.860 The film actually starts with them literally saying that Barbie Land was a world where all the goals of feminism had been realized. 0.99

00:52:21.980 Then at the end of the movie, the dumb Kens are put back in their place and promised that with time, 0.80

00:52:26.180 they could be in a place similar to that of women in the real world, far below Barbie. 1.00

00:52:30.060 This is a feminist wet dream put on film where all the men are stupid. 1.00

00:52:33.060 The movie literally ceases to even be about Barbie and morphs into a feminist manifesto before your eyes. 1.00

00:52:38.720 It's awful.

00:52:40.700 I cannot imagine your suffering as a father actually sitting there and watching Barbie,

00:52:45.820 although I don't know why.

00:52:47.060 I don't know how you got to the end of it.

00:52:49.300 How did you, based on what I just heard about how it began,

00:52:52.440 like why don't you walk out after the first 30 seconds is my question.

00:52:55.600 You know, I have heard that there's been this attempt by some conservatives.

00:52:59.740 There's been this rehabilitate, this Barbie rehabilitation attempt by some conservatives.

00:53:03.580 I think I saw one article on National Review, no big surprise there,

00:53:08.000 arguing that actually the Barbie film is good.

00:53:11.540 It's good actually, because I think what they're trying to claim is that,

00:53:16.180 that no, this is a satire, it's satirical.

00:53:19.900 So what, they're actually making fun of feminism the whole time. 1.00

00:53:23.240 That would be great if that was the case.

00:53:25.040 I would love to imagine that we're living in a world where the director, Greta Gerwig,

00:53:30.780 Greta Gerwig gets, you know, gets this Barbie, the opportunity to make a Barbie film 1.00

00:53:34.900 and turns it into a satire, a biting satire of feminism. 1.00

00:53:40.160 But that's just not the world we live in, sadly.

00:53:44.240 If you love venturing into the great outdoors,

00:53:46.260 you know that staying connected is essential for safety and peace of mind.

00:53:49.940 That's where Satellite Phone Store comes in.

00:53:52.140 Their devices help you stay in touch with friends, family, and emergency services,

00:53:55.360 even when you're far from cellular coverage.

00:53:57.540 Satellite Phone Store's Bivvy Stick and Satellite Communicator use satellite networks

00:54:01.740 for phone calls, text messages, GPS navigation, and an SOS feature for emergency situations.

00:54:06.860 If you're not sure which device is right for you,

00:54:09.400 think about where you'll be using the device and what features are most important to you,

00:54:13.280 and you can figure it out from there.

00:54:14.360 If you need a lightweight, compact option for backpacking,

00:54:17.460 a Bivvy Stick might be the better choice. 0.93

00:54:19.180 However, if you want a more robust device with additional features like weather forecasts

00:54:23.840 and two-way messaging, a satellite communicator could be the better option for you.

00:54:28.000 Something that brings me peace of mind is knowing that even in a global disaster,

00:54:31.580 satellite phones will keep me and my beloved ones always connected.

00:54:35.100 For a limited time, Satellite Phone Store has a special promotional offer.

00:54:38.000 When you go to sat123.com slash Walsh,

00:54:41.180 you'll get a free Bivvy Stick or a free in-marsat satellite phone included

00:54:49.740 That's sat123.com slash Walsh and get your device today.

00:54:54.260 Also, here's a sad fact.

00:54:56.040 Marriage rates have hit an all-time low.

00:54:58.060 More people than ever believe that a marriage certificate is just some piece of paper

00:55:01.260 and sort of an outdated tradition.

00:55:04.140 Others have lied to themselves and they believe they don't need a spouse at all.

00:55:07.440 They'd rather be fun aunts and dog moms or perpetual bachelors. 0.91

00:55:11.760 Men and women are both convinced that they're better off being single,

00:55:15.680 but the evidence proving the contrary is astounding.

00:55:17.740 Despite what the left would have you believe, marriage is a good thing.

00:55:21.300 Professionally, personally, mentally, physically.

00:55:23.820 But that's just scratching the surface of the benefits of marriage.

00:55:26.240 You'll learn a lot more in Dennis Prager's new episode of PragerU Master's Program,

00:55:30.600 streaming exclusively on Daily Wire Plus.

00:55:32.940 In PragerU Master's Program, Dennis is sharing 40 years' worth of hard-earned wisdom

00:55:37.260 that explores all kinds of topics like the consequence of secularism,

00:55:40.880 whether human nature is basically good,

00:55:42.800 and the differences between the left and the right.

00:55:44.720 This will make couples think about marriage differently.

00:55:46.540 And if you're single, this episode will absolutely open your eyes.

00:55:49.660 So go to dailywireplus.com to become a member

00:55:52.200 and watch PragerU Master's Program today.

00:55:55.240 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:56:00.900 Well, it seems there's become a monthly ritual

00:56:02.940 that an American goes somewhere overseas,

00:56:05.360 somewhere outside the Western bubble,

00:56:07.020 and discovers the hard way that the rules are different in that part of the world.

00:56:10.360 Brittany Griner is, of course, the most high-profile recent example,

00:56:13.460 but there have been others.

00:56:14.160 For instance, we heard last week about the odd story of private second class Travis King,

00:56:18.680 who managed to get himself arrested in North Korea.

00:56:20.960 Now, we don't know exactly what happened or why,

00:56:23.560 but we do know that the first and most glaring mistake

00:56:26.060 that leads an American to getting arrested in North Korea

00:56:28.380 is that they go to North Korea.

00:56:30.940 I have found that, for me,

00:56:33.000 the most effective way to avoid North Korean imprisonment

00:56:35.540 is to not ever be in North Korea.

00:56:37.380 Why did Travis King pay the communist country a visit?

00:56:40.640 Well, the details are odd

00:56:42.020 and still a little bit unclear,

00:56:44.180 but NBC News reports,

00:56:45.780 Private second class Travis King, 23,

00:56:48.600 was about to fly back to the United States from South Korea

00:56:50.680 for possible disciplinary action

00:56:52.300 after refusing to pay a fine

00:56:54.860 for allegedly damaging public property.

00:56:57.120 He slipped away from the airport in Seoul

00:56:58.980 last Tuesday

00:57:00.120 and managed to join a guided tour

00:57:01.960 to the joint security area,

00:57:03.720 a piece of land between the North and South

00:57:05.320 that's managed by the UN.

00:57:07.640 From there, he sprinted across the border

00:57:09.440 and appeared to be detained by North Korean guards.

00:57:13.640 Now, apparently, he didn't want to face

00:57:14.820 disciplinary action in the United States,

00:57:17.220 and so instead he'll face it in North Korea,

00:57:20.340 which is kind of like, I don't know,

00:57:21.640 curing the pain of a paper cut on your finger

00:57:23.600 by chopping your entire arm off. 0.85

00:57:25.760 Effective, I guess, in a certain sense, 0.97

00:57:27.640 but overkill, perhaps.

00:57:30.120 Travis King is not the only American

00:57:31.640 to find himself in legal crosshairs

00:57:34.060 in a country that isn't exactly renowned

00:57:35.560 for its leniency,

00:57:36.920 a similar fate has befallen

00:57:38.100 a woman named Tiara Allen,

00:57:40.000 otherwise known on TikTok and YouTube

00:57:42.380 as the Sassy Trucker.

00:57:44.360 And she got herself arrested 0.98

00:57:45.560 a couple of months ago in Dubai.

00:57:47.380 Now, if you think that a self-described

00:57:49.680 sassy woman and the Middle East

00:57:51.660 do not seem like necessarily

00:57:53.280 the best combination,

00:57:54.700 then you'd be correct.

00:57:56.840 Before we get into the legal dispute,

00:57:58.500 let's first meet the Sassy Trucker, 1.00

00:58:00.720 who has amassed a respectable following

00:58:02.580 on social media with content like this.

00:58:05.860 Watch.

00:58:06.080 Anyways, I had God called in

00:58:32.840 to come pick up the trailer.

00:58:34.460 I was leaving a party.

00:58:36.840 It's always business before pleasure.

00:58:39.080 That's why you see me wearing

00:58:40.200 this green, beautiful outfit.

00:58:42.700 As you can see,

00:58:43.560 I was looking like a snack.

00:58:54.600 The money don't stop,

00:58:56.380 so why should I?

00:58:57.460 I.

00:59:02.080 Enough of that.

00:59:03.160 I think we get the idea.

00:59:05.140 Get the idea there.

00:59:07.020 Now, to be honest,

00:59:09.400 I was expecting a little more sass. 0.98

00:59:11.560 Maybe the sassy part is the outfit, 1.00

00:59:13.440 as the sassy trucker apparently enjoys

00:59:15.360 doing her long hauls 0.66

00:59:16.940 in a spandex jumpsuit,

00:59:18.940 which makes her, I'm sure,

00:59:20.060 the only person at the truck stop

00:59:21.560 dressed like a backup dancer

00:59:23.060 from a Britney Spears video in 2003.

00:59:24.980 But this is not why she was arrested in Dubai,

00:59:28.920 although she likely would have been

00:59:30.500 had she dressed like that in Dubai.

00:59:32.680 The actual reason had to do with a dispute

00:59:34.340 at a rental car agency.

00:59:35.920 The AP reports,

00:59:36.660 A Houston woman known online

00:59:38.340 as the sassy trucker

00:59:39.300 has been stuck in Dubai for months

00:59:41.020 after an altercation

00:59:42.220 at a car rental agency,

00:59:43.560 the latest case showing

00:59:44.540 the limits of speech

00:59:45.500 in this skyscraper-studded city-state.

00:59:48.140 The case against

00:59:48.820 Tiara Young-Allen, 29,

00:59:50.340 comes as seven sheikdoms 1.00

00:59:52.220 of the United Arab Emirates

00:59:53.460 have rules that strictly govern speech

00:59:55.720 far beyond what's common

00:59:56.760 in Western nations.

00:59:57.980 A middle finger raised

00:59:58.780 in a traffic dispute,

00:59:59.660 a text message calling somebody a name,

01:00:01.740 or swearing in public

01:00:02.720 can easily spark criminal cases,

01:00:04.600 something that foreign tourists

01:00:05.580 who flock here

01:00:06.220 may not realize until it's too late.

01:00:09.100 Allen traveled to Dubai in April

01:00:11.020 with her social media accounts

01:00:12.320 with tens of thousands of followers

01:00:13.700 showing videos of her test driving

01:00:15.400 a Mercedes semi-truck,

01:00:16.900 going to a beach,

01:00:17.660 seeing tourist attractions,

01:00:18.620 and partying in nightclubs.

01:00:20.020 Towards the end of Allen's trip,

01:00:21.240 a rental car driven by a friend

01:00:22.960 she was with

01:00:23.540 was involved in a crash.

01:00:24.860 On April 28th,

01:00:25.940 said Radha Sterling,

01:00:27.300 who runs a for-hire advocacy group,

01:00:29.520 long critical of the UAE,

01:00:31.320 called Detained in Dubai.

01:00:33.660 After the crash,

01:00:34.520 Allen tried to retrieve

01:00:35.480 personal items

01:00:36.140 from inside the car

01:00:37.640 at the rental agency,

01:00:39.260 sparking altercation,

01:00:41.000 Sterling said.

01:00:42.000 Now, the details from here are sketchy.

01:00:43.760 This Sterling person says

01:00:45.160 that the sassy trucker

01:00:46.200 shouted at a rental car employee,

01:00:48.480 though we aren't told

01:00:49.020 exactly what she said,

01:00:50.220 but Sterling says

01:00:51.280 that the employee started it,

01:00:53.520 that this person yelled first

01:00:55.080 and was being confrontational.

01:00:57.220 Now, Dubai police,

01:00:58.120 on the other hand,

01:00:58.640 claim that the aggression

01:00:59.620 went the other way.

01:01:00.540 Quote,

01:01:00.720 the Dubai police received

01:01:03.020 a complaint from a car rental office

01:01:04.820 accusing her of slandering

01:01:06.000 and defaming an employee

01:01:07.160 amidst a dispute

01:01:07.920 over car rental fees,

01:01:08.980 police said in their statement.

01:01:09.940 The individual was questioned

01:01:10.920 as per legal procedures

01:01:11.940 and subsequently released

01:01:13.440 pending the resolution

01:01:14.240 of ongoing legal proceedings

01:01:15.500 between her 0.65

01:01:16.380 and the car rental office.

01:01:18.060 Now,

01:01:18.620 whatever the case,

01:01:20.040 the sassy trucker

01:01:20.980 cannot leave the country

01:01:21.820 until the investigation

01:01:22.600 is completed

01:01:23.360 and a decision has been made

01:01:24.720 about whether to prosecute.

01:01:26.100 If they do,

01:01:26.800 she could be looking at

01:01:27.600 several months

01:01:28.240 or even a year in prison for this.

01:01:30.320 The AP notes,

01:01:31.160 quote,

01:01:31.740 the State Department

01:01:32.240 separately warns travelers

01:01:33.380 coming to the UAE

01:01:34.200 that, quote,

01:01:34.700 individuals may be arrested,

01:01:36.140 fined,

01:01:36.420 and or deported

01:01:37.120 for making rude gestures,

01:01:39.040 swearing,

01:01:39.520 and making derogatory statements

01:01:40.680 about the UAE,

01:01:41.780 the royal families,

01:01:42.820 the local governments,

01:01:43.580 or other people.

01:01:44.940 Under Emirati law,

01:01:46.600 publicly insulting another person

01:01:47.960 can carry a sentence

01:01:48.740 of up to one year in prison

01:01:49.980 and a fine of $5,450.

01:01:52.360 Disputes over rental car agency fees

01:01:53.920 have seen other foreign tourists

01:01:55.280 stuck in the city-state

01:01:56.260 in the past as well.

01:01:57.260 In other words,

01:01:59.600 the UAE is not a place

01:02:01.340 for your sassiness,

01:02:03.020 even if you are

01:02:03.740 the sassy trucker.

01:02:05.120 They literally have laws

01:02:06.820 against being sassy.

01:02:08.240 It is against the law

01:02:09.300 to be sassy.

01:02:10.700 And this comes as news

01:02:11.920 to many Americans.

01:02:13.660 We see in these kinds of stories

01:02:14.900 the startling fact

01:02:15.880 that the whole world

01:02:16.880 is not America.

01:02:18.860 You have many privileges here

01:02:20.560 that you don't have

01:02:21.400 anywhere else.

01:02:23.100 Many Americans

01:02:23.840 don't understand

01:02:25.000 that these privileges

01:02:25.820 are privileges.

01:02:26.860 They have gotten so used

01:02:27.980 to basically acting

01:02:28.840 however they want

01:02:29.760 and doing whatever they want

01:02:31.320 and saying whatever they want

01:02:32.620 that they've come to believe

01:02:34.660 that the universe

01:02:35.380 owes them these freedoms.

01:02:37.820 But then they go somewhere else

01:02:39.260 in the world

01:02:39.920 and they find that

01:02:40.740 the universe

01:02:41.220 is no longer delivering

01:02:42.620 the way it was before.

01:02:44.560 They can kick and scream

01:02:45.600 and say,

01:02:46.000 but I have the right

01:02:46.660 to act this way.

01:02:47.520 This isn't fair.

01:02:49.200 I'm the sassy trucker, 0.99

01:02:50.440 damn it. 0.99

01:02:51.500 This is my whole shtick. 1.00

01:02:52.640 And yet they've wound up

01:02:55.780 in a place that doesn't care

01:02:57.120 how unfair it feels to them,

01:02:58.400 doesn't care what they feel

01:02:59.520 they are owed.

01:03:01.200 Now, I don't know

01:03:01.980 what exactly led

01:03:02.880 to the sassy trucker's arrest. 0.54

01:03:04.280 I suspect that

01:03:05.100 whoever started it,

01:03:06.720 she was being quite sassy. 0.54

01:03:08.340 This is what I've ascertained

01:03:09.520 based on context clues.

01:03:11.700 And if that is the case,

01:03:13.260 then she's the latest American

01:03:14.640 to learn and learn the hard way

01:03:15.800 that our culture

01:03:16.500 is quite unique

01:03:17.580 in its seemingly endless capacity

01:03:19.540 to tolerate unpleasant behavior.

01:03:22.280 That is the path

01:03:23.280 that we have chosen

01:03:23.960 as a society,

01:03:24.940 the path that empowers

01:03:25.900 and enables obnoxious people.

01:03:28.700 Now, many other countries

01:03:29.780 came to the same fork in the road

01:03:31.560 and chose to go the other way.

01:03:33.960 They don't recognize any right 1.00

01:03:35.820 to say and do whatever you want,

01:03:37.760 no matter how vulgar,

01:03:38.900 boorish, or indecent it may be.

01:03:40.920 We can insist

01:03:41.640 that such rights exist,

01:03:42.900 but our insistence

01:03:43.580 doesn't mean much

01:03:44.400 in practical terms.

01:03:46.020 These other countries

01:03:46.640 will respond by asking us

01:03:48.420 where these rights exist,

01:03:50.460 how we know

01:03:51.160 that we all have them

01:03:52.480 or should have them,

01:03:53.980 and in what way

01:03:54.940 do they make our lives

01:03:55.940 and our culture better?

01:03:57.980 So we can say

01:03:58.500 to the other countries,

01:03:59.380 well, we have these rights

01:04:00.200 and you should guarantee

01:04:02.240 these rights

01:04:02.640 to other people too.

01:04:03.620 You should have a country

01:04:04.500 where people can go

01:04:05.200 to the rental car agency

01:04:06.100 and yell and scream

01:04:07.340 and there'll be

01:04:08.140 no consequence for it.

01:04:09.380 You should have

01:04:09.880 that kind of country too.

01:04:11.060 But these other countries,

01:04:11.820 we say that to them

01:04:12.380 and they say,

01:04:12.680 well, why would we want

01:04:13.220 that kind of country?

01:04:13.900 How has that benefited you?

01:04:15.100 Has it made your life better?

01:04:16.060 Has it made your culture better?

01:04:17.260 Are you happier?

01:04:18.420 Because of this?

01:04:21.060 Those are fair questions,

01:04:22.220 aren't they?

01:04:24.260 Most Americans

01:04:24.960 will have no answer

01:04:25.900 for any of those questions.

01:04:27.640 They haven't even

01:04:28.100 thought about them.

01:04:30.080 And these are the people

01:04:30.940 who get blindsided

01:04:31.800 in these kind of situations.

01:04:33.900 Now, I'm not saying

01:04:34.680 that I'd prefer

01:04:35.200 to live in a place like Dubai

01:04:36.320 or that we should adopt

01:04:37.460 the same laws.

01:04:38.080 I'm simply stating

01:04:38.740 some facts about the world,

01:04:41.280 whether we like it or not.

01:04:43.300 But there is good news

01:04:44.300 for the sassy trucker. 0.99

01:04:45.680 Joe Biden is still in office

01:04:47.100 for now anyway.

01:04:47.940 And we know

01:04:48.900 that he's willing

01:04:49.440 to make trades

01:04:50.120 no matter how insane

01:04:50.960 they might be.

01:04:51.880 So perhaps soon

01:04:52.480 we'll hear that

01:04:52.960 the sassy trucker

01:04:53.840 is headed home

01:04:54.380 after the Biden administration

01:04:55.340 secured her freedom

01:04:56.680 with a trade

01:04:57.320 that gives the UAE 0.98

01:04:58.120 the entire eastern seaboard

01:04:59.420 of the United States

01:05:00.180 or something.

01:05:01.620 Whatever it takes

01:05:02.360 to get the sassy trucker back, 1.00

01:05:03.860 any trade is worth it.

01:05:05.520 At least that's been

01:05:06.240 Biden's approach,

01:05:07.220 you know.

01:05:07.720 It wouldn't be mine, though.

01:05:08.820 Which is why

01:05:09.560 I will say that,

01:05:10.740 not to add insult to injury,

01:05:11.760 but I think today

01:05:13.240 it is the sassy trucker

01:05:14.620 who is canceled.

01:05:17.300 And that'll do it

01:05:18.000 for the show today.

01:05:18.840 Thanks for watching.

01:05:19.480 Thanks for listening.

01:05:20.300 Have a great day.

01:05:21.360 Godspeed.

01:05:22.060 music

01:05:23.180 We'll be right back.
