00:00:00.000 Today on the Night Wall Show, Oprah is out shilling diet pills, claiming that you need medicine to beat obesity because obesity is a disease.
00:00:07.180 That lie has been used to scam people for years, and the biggest medical organization in the country has even admitted that it's a lie.
00:00:12.720 I'll explain.
00:00:13.280 Also, an American intelligence officer declares that cross-dressing at work makes him better at his job.
00:00:18.280 The federal government prosecutes a man for killing bald eagles, because bald eagles have more legal protections in this country than unborn humans.
00:00:24.780 And Planet Fitness bans a woman from their gym after she complains about a man in the woman's locker room.
00:00:29.700 Now the company has lost hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:00:31.760 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Night Wall Show.
00:00:33.880 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Night Wall.
00:01:03.860 But do you know what $20 will get you?
00:01:06.560 From the cell phone company I use, Pure Talk, you can get unlimited talk, text, and plenty of 5G data for just $20 a month.
00:01:13.600 Pure Talk gives you the same quality of service as your current cell phone provider, but for half the cost.

00:01:35.460 Choose to spend your hard-earned money with a wireless company that shares your values, supports our military, and veterans, creates American jobs, and refuses to advertise on fake news networks.

00:01:52.140 That's puretalk.com slash Walsh.
00:01:54.260 So you may have seen this week that Oprah was back on primetime television.
00:01:58.760 She hosted a special on Monday called Shame, Blame, and the Weight Loss Revolution.
00:02:03.400 And really, it was more of an infomercial for drugs like Ozempic, which millions of Americans are taking to lose weight.
00:02:09.920 Now, previously, I've gone into the various side effects of these drugs.
00:02:12.760 Ozempic, for example, can potentially cause thyroid tumors, cancer, projectile vomiting.
00:02:18.240 Maybe even more alarming is the fact that we also don't really understand how these drugs work.
00:02:23.080 Ozempic essentially tricks the pancreas into releasing more insulin.
00:02:26.640 And in turn, Ozempic's artificially created hormones, quote,
00:02:30.080 appear to actually bind to receptors on neurons in several parts of the brain, according to a biologist quoted last year by The Atlantic.
00:02:36.480 Now, what do these hormones do when they bind to receptors in the brain?
00:02:40.000 And apparently, they reduce people's urge to, not simply reduce the urge to eat, but also to shop, to engage in a range of other compulsive behaviors.
00:02:50.160 And if that's true, no scientist in the world has any idea exactly why it's happening or what other modifications this drug might be making to the brain.
00:02:59.160 As if to prove that point, as recently as this month, The Atlantic published a follow-up piece entitled,
00:03:03.740 The Science Behind Ozempic Was Wrong.
00:03:06.160 Now, it all sounds very much like an elixir, a wonderful drug that, a wonder drug that can magically solve all of your problems.
00:03:13.320 But if you're the cynical type or if you just paid any attention at all to big pharma over the past few years, you might have some questions.
00:03:21.340 And these are the questions that Oprah's infomercial on Monday was intended to address.
00:03:24.860 And to be fair, some of the side effects did come up.
00:03:28.040 One woman in the special said that she had to stop taking one of these weight loss drugs due to nausea symptoms, for example.
00:03:34.040 But by and large, this was a puff piece that centered on a lie.
00:03:37.800 It's a lie that Oprah repeated several times that every television medical expert in this country repeats as well.
00:03:44.080 It's the claim that obesity is a disease rather than a symptom of poor life choices.
00:03:50.940 Watch.
00:03:52.040 Number one thing I hope people come away with is knowing that it's a disease and it's in the brain.
00:03:56.820 When I tell you how many times I have blamed myself because you think I'm smart enough to figure this out and then to hear, all along, it's you fighting your brain.
00:04:12.060 For CBS Mornings, I'm Jamie Ucas.
00:04:15.460 For more on what we just saw, let's bring in our Dr. John LeFou.
00:04:18.560 Good morning. How are you doing?
00:04:19.360 Morning. How's it going, Nate?
00:04:20.380 I'm good.
00:04:20.800 So why does medication help more so than people asking, just change your lifestyle?
00:04:28.780 Just change your lifestyle, right?
00:04:30.140 Well, this is a chronic disease.
00:04:31.800 You go to the CDC website and to all these experts.
00:04:34.160 I interviewed Dr. Amanda Velasquez, who was on this time, for about an hour and a half.
00:04:38.000 She was terrific.
00:04:39.160 And everybody will tell you the same thing, which is this is not something that you can just say, oh, I'm going to snap out of it.
00:04:46.200 Would you ever go up to somebody who has asthma or diabetes and say, snap out of it?
00:04:50.380 Well, you can't snap out of obesity.
00:04:54.020 So Oprah uses this idea that obesity is a disease to justify treating it with drugs instead of diet and exercise.
00:05:02.240 This is an idea that if you listen to medical experts is something you're not supposed to question.
00:05:05.860 As you just heard from that CBS doctor, it's a chronic disease.
00:05:08.520 Go to the CDC website.
00:05:10.420 Everybody will tell you the same thing.
00:05:11.360 It's just like asthma or diabetes that everybody at the desk just sort of nods along with it, except that obesity is nothing like asthma or diabetes, actually.
00:05:21.620 People with obesity can cure themselves.
00:05:24.640 Actually, you can.
00:05:26.700 That's true in literally every case of obesity that's ever existed.
00:05:31.340 Like you could lock somebody in a room and feed them a thousand calories of fruit every day, and they will be cured of obesity with 100% certainty.
00:05:40.240 All you have to do is eat a healthy diet, and you're cured.
00:05:44.340 Every single person who has eaten a healthy diet and has exercised has been cured of obesity.
00:05:51.060 Every single one.
00:05:52.320 You cannot say the same for everybody with asthma or diabetes, at least not type 1 diabetes.
00:05:57.960 And, you know, if obesity is a disease, you also need to explain why almost nobody in the country had this disease in the 1930s.
00:06:06.520 Why is that?
00:06:08.380 Like, why can you look at footage of, you know, from any street corner in any major city in the 1930s and see people walking along?
00:06:16.360 No fat people.
00:06:18.180 None.
00:06:20.020 So apparently this disease didn't exist back then.
00:06:22.500 That's interesting, isn't it?
00:06:23.540 Why doesn't anybody in Ethiopia have this disease today?
00:06:29.500 So there seems to be a very curious correlation here.
00:06:32.400 The disease of obesity only takes hold in places where people eat a lot of food and don't get a lot of exercise.
00:06:40.320 And in each individual case, if you have someone who's obese, what you're going to find is they eat a lot of food and they don't get a lot of exercise.
00:06:49.320 Every single time.
00:06:51.840 You know, they say that correlation isn't causation, but I think in this case the causation is pretty clear.
00:06:57.320 And this is such an obvious, self-evident point that, you know, made me wonder.
00:07:01.480 When exactly did medical experts suddenly decide that obesity is a disease and why did they decide that?
00:07:09.980 What definition were they using exactly?
00:07:12.260 Well, it turns out that the esteemed medical journal, The Lancet, has already answered this question.
00:07:16.640 Back in 2013, the American Medical Association simply decided to arbitrarily classify obesity as a disease,
00:07:23.040 even though they admitted that it didn't meet the scientific definition of a disease.
00:07:27.680 Quoting from The Lancet, quote,
00:07:29.820 A disease, by definition, needs to have characteristic symptoms and signs.
00:07:32.860 And even though excess body fat is a characteristic sign, there are no symptoms that are unique to obesity.
00:07:38.660 The American Medical Association applied a different approach to this conundrum in 2013.
00:07:42.500 Instead of trying to determine whether obesity fits specific definitions of a disease,
00:07:47.480 the AMA used a utilitarian approach to determine whether the recognition of obesity as a disease
00:07:53.260 would have a positive impact on the individual patient, the healthcare system, and the wider society.
00:07:59.840 So did you get that?
00:08:01.820 In other words, they realized that obesity is not a disease.
00:08:06.100 It does not meet the definition because there are no unique symptoms that only obese people suffer from.
00:08:11.720 But they just decided to call it a disease anyway in order to raise awareness,
00:08:17.720 otherwise known as to sell more medication.
00:08:20.040 And that's what one of the top medical journals in the world is admitting.
00:08:25.640 And by the way, it wasn't just the AMA that took this approach.
00:08:28.460 The Lancet continues, quote,
00:08:29.800 In the UK, the Royal College of Physicians recognized obesity as a disease in 2019.
00:08:33.660 The main argument of RCP and those in favor of this recognition is that unless obesity is defined as a disease,
00:08:40.300 the funding for effective treatment options will be inadequate to stop its increasing prevalence
00:08:44.420 and the health and socioeconomic costs associated with it.
00:08:47.800 I mean, this is almost too absurd to be real, but it is real.
00:08:52.800 Leading medical associations all over the world decided to lie about obesity being a disease,
00:08:58.880 and they admitted it out loud.
00:09:01.640 And everybody just went along with it.
00:09:03.300 And now you've got people like this on CBS that quote the AMA.
00:09:08.060 So, you know, they're the ones who say it's a disease,
00:09:12.200 except they said it's not a disease, but they're going to call it one anyway.
00:09:17.000 And we're still seeing this today, of course, with nonsense like long COVID.
00:09:20.800 And in fact, there are many examples, many of the so-called mental illnesses that we talk about a lot on the show.
00:09:27.200 The same sort of bargain has been made, where they say, well, you know, it doesn't really fit the definition of a disease,
00:09:33.460 but it's helpful to call it one, and so we will.
00:09:38.480 The only difference is that with obesity, they've just come out and told us that they were going to lie about it.
00:09:45.080 And nobody saw a problem with it.
00:09:46.440 So take, for example, this remarkable clip from 2013,
00:09:49.600 which is the year the AMA decided to just invent the idea that obesity is a disease.
00:09:54.120 Watch as Charlie Rose asks the medical expert about this,
00:09:57.200 and you can tell that Charlie Rose is a little confused as to why the AMA has suddenly decided to make this decision out of nowhere.
00:10:04.120 What science has changed all of a sudden, Rose wants to know,
00:10:07.840 that explains why the AMA abruptly decided to label obesity as a disease.
00:10:12.740 And I want you to watch how this in-house medical expert responds.
00:10:17.820 Well, we know as obesity researchers that obesity is a disease,
00:10:22.820 but the fact that the American Medical Association has recognized it will have tremendous impact on legislation in Washington,
00:10:32.340 with insurance companies, it carries a lot of weight.
00:10:34.960 One in three American adults has obesity, overweight.
00:10:38.740 Do you think this will cause insurers to pay for some of the treatments for obesity?
00:10:45.240 I think so.
00:10:46.040 If you look at insurance policies, they generally exclude obesity treatment.
00:10:50.700 So people come in, they think they should be treated because they have health problems like diabetes,
00:10:56.660 high blood pressure, even cancers are caused by obesity, and yet that treatment is excluded.
00:11:02.380 Within the medical community, there's been a clear understanding that obesity is a disease.
00:11:08.540 That's right.
00:11:09.360 Or not.
00:11:10.100 It's become very clear in the past few years that as people gain weight,
00:11:16.160 damage occurs to the signaling pathways between the fat cell, the stomach, the intestine, and the brain.
00:11:22.660 The brain can't tell how much food is coming in and how much fat is stored.
00:11:26.020 Then why has it taken so long?
00:11:27.340 Because it takes a while before these types of research findings are translated into a group like the AMA recognizing this.
00:11:38.440 But the fact that this was overwhelmingly recognized by the AMA, I think, says volumes about this.
00:11:45.440 It's premature.
00:11:46.940 So it's just one non-answer and non-sequitur after another.
00:11:50.160 It's a disease because it hurts your body, exclaimed the TV doctor.
00:11:53.620 But that's not what a disease is.
00:11:56.000 Okay, shooting yourself in the foot would hurt your body, too.
00:12:00.020 That doesn't mean that shooting yourself in the foot is a disease.
00:12:03.640 Drowning yourself in the river will hurt your body.
00:12:05.640 But when they pull your corpse out of the water, they aren't going to say,
00:12:07.920 wow, looks like he died from the drowning disease.
00:12:11.240 It doesn't make sense.
00:12:12.240 So when Charlie Rose puts some more mild pressure on this guy, he just says,
00:12:15.820 well, the AMA overwhelmingly agrees with me.
00:12:18.120 So shut up and accept the fact that obesity is a disease.
00:12:21.080 Science commands it.
00:12:22.720 You don't get to ask questions.
00:12:23.700 Now, it's not hard to see what's going on here.
00:12:26.780 The point is to medicalize the human condition and remove human agency by turning all vice into an illness.
00:12:33.180 And in the process, big pharma makes a lot of money, which is not incidental, by the way.
00:12:39.780 Now, it's less clear why exactly anybody would take Oprah seriously concerning this topic.
00:12:44.580 Back in December, Oprah disclosed that she has been taking a nonspecific weight loss medication herself.
00:12:49.920 More recently, just weeks before this primetime infomercial aired, Oprah stepped aside from her role on the board of Weight Watchers,
00:12:56.700 claiming that it would present a conflict of interest.
00:12:59.480 And in reality, the conflict is so obvious and so significant that it completely undercuts the integrity of Oprah's special,
00:13:05.280 no matter what she does or says.
00:13:07.200 So last year, Weight Watchers purchased a telehealth startup called Sequence that connects customers with doctors who are ready and willing to prescribe ozempic.
00:13:15.520 So Weight Watchers realized that its model of preaching personal willpower and self-control was going out of style.
00:13:22.940 So in a last-ditch effort to save the company, they started selling $99 a month subscriptions to connect their customers with these weight loss drugs.
00:13:30.800 And Oprah was on the board of Weight Watchers during that period.
00:13:33.300 Given that background, it's hard to be impressed with the fact that Oprah left Weight Watchers board right before airing a special that stands to benefit both Weight Watchers and their new partners in big pharma.
00:13:46.460 This would be a little bit like Hunter Biden suddenly leaving his extremely well-paying job on the board of a Ukrainian oil company a few days before flying Joe Biden into Kiev on a private jet to fire the attorney general looking into the oil company.
00:13:57.780 Just, you know, taking one random example, doesn't really look good under any circumstances, is the point.
00:14:03.040 But, you know, the possibility that Oprah is a corrupt saleswoman isn't really the story here.
00:14:09.040 Everybody knows that already.
00:14:10.960 The fact that virtually every medical expert in the country has been lying to you about obesity is the story.
00:14:19.120 It is not a disease.
00:14:20.620 They know it's not a disease, and they have said so.
00:14:24.400 It's not a chronic disorder that can only be fixed by some miracle drug.
00:14:30.120 The whole idea, that whole idea is a scam.
00:14:32.600 One that the AMA deliberately started more than a decade ago.
00:14:37.280 And they told us that they were starting it.
00:14:40.260 And everything we've heard from the medical community since then, including this transparent, cringeworthy Oprah infomercial this week,
00:14:46.540 has been designed to perpetuate that scam, that very profitable scam.
00:14:54.660 They want you to believe that you don't have any agency over your body or your life.
00:14:59.500 So they can sell you a supply of drugs that cost $1,000 a month.
00:15:04.400 But don't fall for it.
00:15:06.520 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:16:13.240 Here's an exclusive report in the Daily Wire published yesterday.
00:16:17.120 Agents at the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and throughout the intelligence community were distributed a newsletter that celebrated an intelligence official for cross-dressing, saying that dressing up in women's clothes makes him a better intelligence officer, according to an internal document obtained by the Daily Wire.
00:16:33.820 Here, the office of the director of national intelligence sent its internal newsletter, called The Dive, and obtained by the Daily Wire through a Freedom of Information Act request to personnel across the entire intelligence community.
00:16:44.980 Featured in the newsletter was an article by an anonymous official claiming that cross-dressing makes him a better intelligence officer.
00:16:50.660 The article reads, I am an intelligence officer, and I am a man who likes to wear women's clothes sometimes.
00:16:59.340 The author goes on to argue that his decision to cross-dress, quote, merits attention given the climate of discussion around the topic and where it sits in the larger conversation about gender identity and expression and professional appearance.
00:17:16.860 The unclassified newsletter, which specifies on each page that it is for official use only and not cleared for public release, was released in the Daily Wire last week through information, though information such as names of authors are redacted throughout.
00:17:31.220 It was created by the office of the director of national intelligence, IC, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Office, and sent to the entire intelligence community.
00:17:40.180 I think my experiences as someone who cross-dresses have sharpened the skills I use as an officer.
00:17:45.160 The anonymous intelligence officer claims, going on to say that he is now, quote, more aware of and hopefully more supportive of my women colleagues.
00:17:55.620 So he needs to wear their clothes to be aware of them and to support them.
00:18:00.020 He expands on the point saying that he has a better appreciation for how it can be uncomfortable to wear women's clothes sometimes.
00:18:06.860 I know firsthand how wearing heels can make your feet hurt and make it take longer to walk somewhere.
00:18:11.880 So, and that makes him a better intelligence officer, having that knowledge.
00:18:17.320 So this is, that's a piece of intelligence.
00:18:19.420 That's a piece of intelligence that he has, he's gone undercover and he's, he has, he has obtained a piece of intelligence that tells him that wearing high heels is uncomfortable.
00:18:29.660 But guess what?
00:18:30.660 I've never worn high heels and I could already tell you that it's uncomfortable.
00:18:33.620 Like, I can just look at it.
00:18:34.720 I don't know how anybody does that.
00:18:35.700 How do you do that?
00:18:36.360 Looks uncomfortable to me.
00:18:38.460 I don't, I don't need to try him on to find that out.
00:18:41.540 The anonymous intelligence officer also admits that cross-dressing in the workplace causes a distraction within the intelligence office.
00:18:46.840 But he pleads that those around him will grow more supportive of his choice to wear women's clothes.
00:18:52.800 He writes, quote, when I cross-dress, it still distracts people, even though it is professional.
00:18:57.180 It's my hope that we can learn to accept a wider range of gender identities and expressions, even though it's professional.
00:19:04.320 I'm dressing up in women's clothes at work.
00:19:08.260 It's distracting, but it's professional.
00:19:13.000 That's the exact opposite of professional.
00:19:15.020 In fact, as a general rule, you know that you're dressing in an unprofessional way if it is distracting to those around you.
00:19:25.760 Like, the whole point of professional attire, or at least one of the primary points, is that it's not distracting.
00:19:31.160 The anonymous intelligence official went into even greater depth on his cross-dressing habits.
00:19:38.240 Although I like wearing a bra, I know it isn't comfortable for everybody and is less comfortable after a few hours.
00:19:43.920 On top of the biases that women often face at work, it must be hard to be uncomfortable, too.
00:19:50.060 He went on to claim that cross-dressing also makes him a better ally for those who identify as LGBTQIA+, saying that everybody's better off if they can bring their whole self to work.
00:19:59.080 I definitely felt that and now have supportive allies.
00:20:03.080 I am part of a community that is not the majority and sometimes feels discriminated against.
00:20:07.900 Okay.
00:20:08.040 And then the Daily Wire article has a link to the whole document if you want to see it for whatever reason.
00:20:20.040 So, one thing here is, of course, the Biden administration continues to be a literal clown show, just a freak show.
00:20:25.860 And I don't know if there's a Guinness World Record for this, but, I mean, the federal government right now under Biden must have a record number of cross-dressers and drag queens.
00:20:40.920 Like, it must.
00:20:42.360 I don't know what the record was before, but they've certainly beaten it.
00:20:46.940 And notice how this man, he isn't even saying that he identifies as trans, right?
00:20:54.320 This isn't a man who identifies as a woman.
00:20:56.440 And it's bad enough when, you know, intelligence officers, people in government, particularly people in the intelligence agencies, identify as trans.
00:21:04.420 And that's concerning enough because that means that we have people in the intelligence field who are deeply confused about the basic facts of reality and of themselves.
00:21:13.180 And so, that makes you question everything else that they say.
00:21:17.880 Any intelligence that they do obtain, you have to question it because it's like, well, in what reality did you obtain this intelligence?
00:21:26.480 Like, what reality are you operating in right now?
00:21:28.540 Because, you know, you're trying to live in a reality that doesn't exist.
00:21:32.860 You're living every day in a fantasy land where you're a woman when you're not.
00:21:39.540 So, you're confused about that.
00:21:41.320 And we have to ask, what else are you confused about?
00:21:45.500 Because if you can be confused about something as basic as that, about who you are, what you are, about what a woman is, and so on, if you can be confused about that, then you could plausibly be confused about anything.
00:21:57.200 Which makes you unfit for this job, and it makes you unfit for, frankly, most employment.
00:22:07.180 Because, I mean, there may be some jobs out there where it doesn't really matter if you're grounded in reality or not while you do it.
00:22:14.480 Yeah, there are some jobs like that.
00:22:15.740 But any job where the reality actually matters, you're seriously caught into question.
00:22:24.660 So, that's a problem.
00:22:25.940 That's bad.
00:22:26.440 But this is arguably even worse, or at least it's very bad in a slightly different way, because in this case, it's not even a man who identifies as a woman.
00:22:36.580 It's a man who knows that he's a man, and yet who gets a thrill out of wearing women's clothes.
00:22:44.600 So, this is explicitly, straightforwardly, a fetish.
00:22:49.000 And, you know, that's the case with a lot of transgenderism, too, obviously, but here it's just outright.
00:22:54.180 This is a fetish.
00:22:55.220 He has a fetish for wearing women's clothes.
00:22:57.580 He's doing it at work, on the job.
00:23:00.240 So, intelligence agencies have become a forum for fetishists to perform in public.
00:23:08.520 It's sick.
00:23:09.240 This is truly fall of empire type stuff that we see.
00:23:15.940 And we never did get around to an explanation, or he never got around to an explanation, of how exactly this makes him a better intelligence officer.
00:23:22.320 That was the, you know, the headline.
00:23:25.100 That was sort of the thesis.
00:23:27.040 That cross-dressing and performing his fetish in public makes him a better intelligence officer.
00:23:30.920 Never explains how.
00:23:32.160 How does that work?
00:23:32.800 And I think that the closest he could come to explaining it was that line about how people should be able to bring their whole selves to work.
00:23:46.180 Which, yeah, of course you should bring your whole self, as opposed to bringing, like, a third of yourself.
00:23:51.460 That would be kind of strange.
00:23:52.560 Yeah, you want to bring your entire self.
00:23:54.240 Like, you know, don't come to work without your arm.
00:23:56.760 Don't come to work without your big toe.
00:23:58.960 Well, if you can help it, bring your entire self to work.
00:24:03.540 But does that mean that at work, you should be able to express every thought and desire that you happen to have?
00:24:17.680 Obviously not.
00:24:20.140 Okay?
00:24:21.160 There's nowhere in public, there's no place in public that is a forum for that.
00:24:26.540 Like, every place you go, really, you're expected to conform, or at least you should be expected to conform, to one degree or another, to standards of conduct.
00:24:40.940 Which means subordinating your own personal inclinations and desires and compulsions.
00:24:51.020 That's the case anywhere you go in public.
00:24:53.180 That's what it means to live in a civilized society.
00:24:56.940 That's especially the case at work.
00:25:00.040 And even more the case when you allegedly have an important job that deals with, allegedly, national security.
00:25:09.960 So that's what he means when he says it makes him a better officer.
00:25:12.980 He doesn't mean that at all.
00:25:15.020 That's just, what he means is that it makes me feel better.
00:25:20.900 That's what he means to say.
00:25:21.840 He says it makes me a better officer.
00:25:23.060 He really means it makes me feel better.
00:25:26.660 I like how it feels, is what he's saying.
00:25:30.100 And he can't, because he's a leftist, and this is the leftist religion, the religion of the self,
00:25:36.460 he doesn't draw a distinction between feeling good and performing well.
00:25:44.320 He doesn't distinguish between those two things.
00:25:47.040 To him, those are one and the same.
00:25:48.820 To perform well, to do your job, to do your duty, is to feel good.
00:25:53.100 Because that, as far as he's concerned, that's your only job in life, is just to make sure you feel good all the time.
00:26:01.360 And these are the people that we have in our intelligence agencies.
00:26:04.280 I wanted to mention this from MSN.
00:26:05.960 A man is set to plead guilty Wednesday to killing 3,600 birds, including protected eagles,
00:26:14.260 and selling their body parts and feathers on a black market.
00:26:18.160 Travis John Branson of Washington State admits they participated in a killing spree of golden eagles and bald eagles,
00:26:23.800 so he and his alleged partner could sell pieces of the birds and their feathers,
00:26:26.780 according to Montana federal court documents.
00:26:30.560 Pleaded guilty, not guilty, in January.
00:26:32.720 The indictment reads,
00:26:36.260 the bald eagle is not merely a bird of biological interest,
00:26:39.800 but this country's national symbol, which reflects America's ideals of freedom.
00:26:44.920 And so that's why they are,
00:26:46.960 that's why he's looking at probably prison time and all the rest of it.
00:26:55.700 You know, you probably know where I'm going with this.
00:26:59.480 If you've listened to the show at all, you probably know where this is going.
00:27:01.800 But anytime I see a story like this, I can't help but point it out.
00:27:05.840 That, you know, we have the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act,
00:27:12.220 which, by the way, prohibits not just killing bald eagles,
00:27:18.000 but it also, it even prohibits taking their feathers, even if you don't kill them.
00:27:21.620 It's actually a crime.
00:27:22.740 It's a federal crime to confiscate bald eagle feathers,
00:27:26.520 even if the bald eagle is unharmed in their procedure.
00:27:32.080 So, we have this law protecting them, and what's the reason?
00:27:38.020 Let's look at the two reasons that the indictment,
00:27:39.980 this is the indictment of this guy who killed the bald eagles,
00:27:42.480 which, and also, I don't condone that, killing 3,600 bald eagles.
00:27:46.900 I don't condone it.
00:27:47.560 You know, you shouldn't do it.
00:27:49.000 In fact, I'll go so far as to say I'm opposed to it.
00:27:51.500 I'm opposed to going on a killing spree of bald eagles.
00:27:55.580 I'll even say that it feels excessive, killing 3,600 birds.
00:27:58.780 That seems like a lot.
00:27:59.780 That's a lot of birds to kill.
00:28:01.980 You know, really, once you get over 10,
00:28:05.260 I'd say that's probably too many.
00:28:06.920 That's probably too many bald eagles to kill.
00:28:08.260 So, that certainly is a lot.
00:28:12.640 But let's look at the reasons they give the federal government
00:28:15.720 for going after this guy to prosecute him.
00:28:19.460 What do they say?
00:28:20.240 Well, they say the bald eagle is a bird of biological interest.
00:28:26.060 I don't know what that means exactly,
00:28:28.520 but a biological interest, and it's a symbol.
00:28:32.140 It's a symbol.
00:28:33.020 So, this is something, you know, that is sort of esoteric.
00:28:40.840 This is like something that's not a solid idea.
00:28:45.360 Just it's symbolic.
00:28:48.480 Those are the two reasons that they give.
00:28:53.120 And then I can't help but think, wow.
00:28:57.580 Yet, according to the federal government and the people running it,
00:29:00.960 and according to the laws still in many states,
00:29:04.020 unborn human beings do not fall into either of those categories.
00:29:10.960 You know, there is less protection in many states,
00:29:16.540 and according to pro-abortions,
00:29:17.640 it should be this way in every state.
00:29:20.660 Less protection for actual human beings than for birds.
00:29:29.380 And again, go to the reason.
00:29:34.340 Why do we have to protect the bald eagles?
00:29:35.880 Because they're of biological interest.
00:29:37.600 Okay.
00:29:38.380 Is an unborn child not of biological interest?
00:29:41.580 Whatever that means exactly,
00:29:43.180 and I'm still not sure precisely what it means,
00:29:46.420 that the birds are,
00:29:47.540 but is an unborn human child not of biological interest?
00:29:52.980 And then if we're going to go to something
00:29:57.160 as ambiguous as it's a symbol,
00:30:02.920 you know, it has symbolic significance,
00:30:05.420 can we not see any symbolic significance
00:30:07.960 in a human child?
00:30:10.320 I mean, I can see a lot more than symbolic significance,
00:30:14.560 but is there no symbolic significance there?
00:30:18.820 But in fact,
00:30:20.160 if I were to make the argument
00:30:22.120 for protecting unborn children,
00:30:26.060 particularly protecting them on the federal level,
00:30:28.780 if I were to make the argument for
00:30:29.800 we need a federal law,
00:30:31.540 which I do believe this,
00:30:32.900 we need a federal law protecting unborn children,
00:30:34.920 and I were to say that we need to protect them
00:30:38.420 because they have symbolic significance,
00:30:40.680 everybody would laugh.
00:30:41.580 They would laugh at that.
00:30:42.700 Pro boards would laugh.
00:30:43.860 It's ridiculous.
00:30:46.220 Oh, but for a bird?
00:30:47.900 For a freaking bird?
00:30:49.680 We could have a federal law
00:30:51.320 because of their symbolic significance?
00:30:55.560 So that's okay for a bird,
00:30:57.620 but not for a person.
00:31:00.920 I mean, this is the kind of thing,
00:31:02.480 this is the kind of,
00:31:03.420 the contradiction that it's just,
00:31:07.740 it is quite literally indefensible.
00:31:10.380 You cannot defend it.
00:31:12.640 The fact that there are federal laws
00:31:14.480 protecting bald eagles,
00:31:15.880 that there's more federal protection for an eagle
00:31:18.180 than there is for a human
00:31:20.880 at its earliest stages of development
00:31:23.000 is completely insane.
00:31:25.960 And I think everybody knows that,
00:31:27.540 which is why, you know,
00:31:29.020 the left, they won't, you know,
00:31:30.060 this is not an argument they want to engage with.
00:31:32.340 They're not going to,
00:31:32.780 they're not going to speak up
00:31:33.840 and like defend this.
00:31:35.760 They just want to ignore it.
00:31:39.700 But this is also why,
00:31:41.000 despite what so many conservatives say now,
00:31:43.120 the cowardly conservatives who,
00:31:45.340 you know, we get a bit,
00:31:47.700 a major pro-life victory
00:31:48.860 with a robe being overturned
00:31:50.760 and they've done nothing
00:31:52.840 but complain about it ever since.
00:31:54.620 Oh no, we won something.
00:31:55.860 We won something.
00:31:56.560 This is terrible.
00:31:57.660 Now the left is so mad at us
00:31:58.940 for winning something.
00:32:01.420 Pathetic.
00:32:03.180 Despite what they say
00:32:04.060 about how this is an unwinnable argument,
00:32:05.660 we can't win it,
00:32:06.600 you know,
00:32:06.840 you got to leave it alone.
00:32:08.180 Really?
00:32:08.960 This is not winnable?
00:32:12.460 Like any conservative in media
00:32:14.160 who's telling us
00:32:14.920 that they are so incompetent
00:32:16.340 that they can't figure out a way
00:32:18.640 to win with this argument,
00:32:20.520 well then like you shouldn't be,
00:32:22.080 then what are you doing?
00:32:23.340 You're not qualified
00:32:24.780 to be speaking about anything publicly,
00:32:27.980 frankly.
00:32:28.900 You're not qualified
00:32:29.760 to be any kind of thought leader.
00:32:32.520 If you can't figure out a way,
00:32:33.980 like really,
00:32:34.960 can you at least make an argument
00:32:37.640 that human children
00:32:39.300 have more worth than bald eagles?
00:32:41.980 You think that's a losing argument
00:32:43.500 for us?
00:32:44.900 Really?
00:32:47.120 I don't think it is.
00:32:49.220 I think the vast majority of people,
00:32:51.240 when you tell them,
00:32:52.080 and it's a fact,
00:32:53.020 it is a fact,
00:32:54.260 that bald eagles
00:32:55.520 have more federal protection
00:32:56.760 than human children
00:32:58.020 at the earliest stages of development.
00:32:59.400 I think when you tell most people that,
00:33:01.940 most people recognize that
00:33:03.760 as inherently absurd.
00:33:08.320 It's just that you have to make the argument.
00:33:12.600 And it's not often made.
00:33:15.920 The problem with people on the right
00:33:17.400 is that they allow the left
00:33:18.580 to define the terms of the argument.
00:33:20.480 They argue about things
00:33:21.680 like abortion
00:33:22.280 on the left's terms
00:33:25.080 and using their language
00:33:26.080 and using their rules
00:33:27.400 and using their framing.
00:33:30.980 And if you do that,
00:33:31.860 you'll lose.
00:33:33.580 But this is a winning argument.
00:33:34.820 I would love to see this.
00:33:35.940 Maybe it's happened before
00:33:36.740 and I don't remember.
00:33:37.980 I would love to see this
00:33:38.860 at a debate.
00:33:41.280 The Republican up on stage,
00:33:42.960 Democrat.
00:33:43.300 If there is any presidential debate,
00:33:46.480 if that even happens,
00:33:47.260 if we have even one presidential debate,
00:33:48.960 which I don't think we will,
00:33:50.160 I'd love to see this.
00:33:52.700 You say to Biden,
00:33:55.280 you know,
00:33:55.780 there's a federal law
00:33:57.400 protecting bald eagles.
00:33:59.700 Do you believe,
00:34:00.600 do you believe that
00:34:01.700 eagles
00:34:02.700 should have more legal protection
00:34:04.840 than human beings
00:34:07.360 at their earliest stages
00:34:08.660 of development?
00:34:09.580 Is that what you believe?
00:34:11.140 Do you believe
00:34:12.000 that eagles
00:34:13.080 have more moral worth
00:34:15.480 and more symbolic worth
00:34:16.960 than human beings?
00:34:18.760 Do you believe that?
00:34:20.760 That's a great question.
00:34:23.020 Isn't that a great,
00:34:24.080 isn't that a really good question?
00:34:26.020 Seems like a fantastic argument to me.
00:34:28.420 It's a fantastic argument.
00:34:29.640 You know why you know
00:34:30.080 it's a good argument?
00:34:30.540 Because there's nothing
00:34:31.080 your opponent can say
00:34:31.960 that's not going to sound insane.
00:34:34.560 Other than to just agree with you
00:34:35.900 and abandon their argument entirely.
00:34:37.340 But anything else they try,
00:34:38.500 it's going to sound crazy.
00:34:40.880 So,
00:34:41.700 yeah,
00:34:42.260 it's a winning argument,
00:34:43.140 but you have to be,
00:34:43.660 but you just have to make it.
00:34:45.740 All right.
00:34:47.380 The Hill has this
00:34:48.320 just over a week before
00:34:49.200 her new country album
00:34:50.040 is released.
00:34:50.620 Beyonce Knowles-Carter
00:34:52.160 is,
00:34:54.880 is that what,
00:34:55.200 is she doing the whole,
00:34:55.780 is she doing the hyphen thing now?
00:34:57.620 Is that a new thing?
00:34:59.000 Beyonce Knowles-Carter?
00:35:00.820 When did that start?
00:35:01.940 Has it always been?
00:35:02.780 She did the hyphen?
00:35:04.800 Anyway,
00:35:05.980 Beyonce Knowles-Carter
00:35:06.780 is reflecting on the hate
00:35:07.960 she received
00:35:08.440 performing at the 2016
00:35:09.580 Country Music Awards
00:35:10.700 with The Chicks.
00:35:12.840 Formerly The Dixie Chicks,
00:35:13.940 I believe.
00:35:15.300 This album has been
00:35:16.220 over five years in the making.
00:35:17.440 The multi-Grammy winner
00:35:19.100 posted on Instagram,
00:35:20.700 it was born out of an experience
00:35:21.740 that I had years ago
00:35:22.540 where I did not feel welcomed
00:35:23.700 and it was very clear
00:35:24.760 that I wasn't.
00:35:26.320 Though the CMAs
00:35:27.140 and some country artists
00:35:27.840 said that they had no issue
00:35:28.680 with Beyonce's performance,
00:35:29.740 country music fans
00:35:30.400 took it to social media
00:35:31.220 to share their outrage
00:35:32.220 and in some cases racism.
00:35:33.800 over her performance.
00:35:35.640 Wrote one user,
00:35:36.940 figures they would pair up,
00:35:38.280 one who has no respect
00:35:39.160 for the American military
00:35:39.980 and another who has no respect
00:35:40.900 for the American law enforcement.
00:35:44.180 Another wrote,
00:35:45.220 she does not belong.
00:35:46.660 When have they ever invited
00:35:47.380 any country singer
00:35:48.060 to their BET awards?
00:35:49.380 Never.
00:35:50.920 Beyonce,
00:35:51.380 a native of Houston,
00:35:52.220 announced her eighth studio album
00:35:53.300 Act Two,
00:35:54.060 Cowboy Carter in February
00:35:55.280 to the delight of fans.
00:35:57.620 She said,
00:35:58.140 the criticism I faced
00:35:59.060 when I first entered
00:35:59.680 this genre
00:36:00.060 forced me to propel past
00:36:01.400 the limitations
00:36:02.000 that were put on me.
00:36:03.740 This is what I get.
00:36:05.140 I defended
00:36:05.880 Beyonce's country song.
00:36:07.600 I stand by that.
00:36:08.500 It's an okay song.
00:36:09.500 I said it.
00:36:10.060 I don't take it back.
00:36:10.880 It's catchy.
00:36:11.700 Sorry.
00:36:12.600 Sorry if you want me
00:36:13.300 to lie to you.
00:36:14.000 I'm not going to lie to you.
00:36:15.080 The song is okay.
00:36:16.780 What do you want me to do?
00:36:18.160 It just is.
00:36:19.220 I tell it like it is
00:36:20.080 and that's one of the things
00:36:21.040 it just is.
00:36:21.620 But of course,
00:36:22.040 after I bravely withstood
00:36:23.140 the wrath and mockery
00:36:25.060 of my own audience
00:36:25.960 by defending Beyonce,
00:36:28.060 now she has to turn around
00:36:29.100 and play the victim
00:36:29.720 and make me regret
00:36:31.140 going out on this limb for her.
00:36:32.320 In fact,
00:36:33.800 you know,
00:36:34.120 I gotta say,
00:36:34.520 I'm out of the Bay Hive.
00:36:35.540 I'm out of it.
00:36:36.180 I want no part of it.
00:36:37.980 I thought Beyonce was done
00:36:39.200 with her self-victimizing ways.
00:36:40.600 It had been three weeks
00:36:41.280 since the last time
00:36:41.960 I thought she was done.
00:36:42.660 I thought she turned a new leaf.
00:36:43.960 I believed in her
00:36:44.760 and apparently not.
00:36:48.500 And now she's saying
00:36:50.080 that she's experienced racism
00:36:51.700 with her first foray
00:36:52.920 into country.
00:36:54.120 Beyonce wants to experience
00:36:55.260 racism so much.
00:36:56.380 I mean,
00:36:56.540 she's been begging
00:36:57.540 her whole life
00:36:58.840 to be the victim of racism
00:37:00.040 and it's never happened.
00:37:01.800 And now here she is
00:37:02.620 claiming that she wasn't
00:37:03.800 welcomed in the country
00:37:04.760 music scene.
00:37:06.620 Worse,
00:37:07.040 she's now revealed
00:37:07.700 that her foray
00:37:08.900 into country
00:37:09.520 is fueled by resentment.
00:37:12.340 So she's doing it
00:37:13.360 out of pure scorn
00:37:14.480 and resentment.
00:37:16.400 I thought she was doing it
00:37:17.620 as a cynical marketing ploy
00:37:18.940 just to make money,
00:37:19.780 which like,
00:37:20.320 you know,
00:37:20.560 that's what you do.
00:37:23.700 Apparently it's worse
00:37:24.540 than that.
00:37:25.040 And to be clear,
00:37:27.760 Beyonce was welcomed
00:37:29.840 into the genre
00:37:30.600 just fine.
00:37:31.620 I mean,
00:37:31.780 Beyonce has been welcomed
00:37:32.700 everywhere she's gone
00:37:34.140 her entire life.
00:37:34.920 She's never,
00:37:35.380 she's never not been
00:37:36.760 welcomed somewhere.
00:37:38.180 She's never not been
00:37:40.800 celebrated in every room
00:37:42.460 she's walked into.
00:37:44.100 Some people don't like
00:37:45.020 her country stuff.
00:37:45.940 That's fine.
00:37:46.680 They're allowed to not like it.
00:37:47.720 And the examples
00:37:49.040 that the article gives
00:37:50.260 of racism
00:37:51.020 were just a couple
00:37:52.800 of comments
00:37:53.460 saying Beyonce
00:37:54.380 doesn't belong
00:37:55.100 in the genre.
00:37:56.180 And that shows you
00:37:56.760 how unracist
00:37:58.000 the criticism was.
00:38:00.500 Like,
00:38:01.000 they wrote this article,
00:38:01.880 they combed through comments
00:38:03.240 looking for racism
00:38:04.120 against Beyonce,
00:38:05.020 and the best they could find
00:38:06.640 was,
00:38:08.100 Beyonce isn't a country singer,
00:38:09.460 this isn't her genre.
00:38:10.560 Like,
00:38:11.420 which is kind of amazing,
00:38:12.440 because you'd think that
00:38:13.100 you could cherry pick
00:38:14.500 at least one or two
00:38:15.540 legitimately racist comments.
00:38:17.140 Just,
00:38:17.480 you know,
00:38:18.520 odds are,
00:38:19.880 you would think statistically,
00:38:20.920 you'd be able to find a couple,
00:38:21.960 but they didn't find any.
00:38:25.000 That's how completely free
00:38:26.800 of racism
00:38:27.460 Beyonce's life has been.
00:38:30.120 Which,
00:38:30.600 by the way,
00:38:30.920 even if there had been
00:38:32.800 a legitimately
00:38:34.160 racist comment
00:38:35.920 here and there
00:38:36.720 about Beyonce,
00:38:38.560 it still would not justify
00:38:39.540 her making a victim
00:38:40.620 of herself,
00:38:41.540 because the fact
00:38:42.720 would still remain
00:38:43.700 that she is loved
00:38:44.740 and celebrated
00:38:45.440 by like 99.9999999999%
00:38:49.180 of everyone
00:38:50.260 she comes in contact with
00:38:51.480 or hears from.
00:38:53.580 You know,
00:38:53.760 but that's how celebrities
00:38:54.700 work these days.
00:38:55.540 They need to be worshipped
00:38:57.540 by 100%
00:38:58.860 of everyone
00:38:59.720 all the time.
00:39:01.100 And if they're not,
00:39:02.060 then
00:39:02.360 they're victims.
00:39:04.860 And of course,
00:39:05.540 it's not just celebrities
00:39:06.300 that have that attitude anymore.
00:39:08.180 And I always think
00:39:08.660 it's funny
00:39:09.080 to contrast
00:39:10.800 this
00:39:12.380 with my own experience
00:39:14.940 being,
00:39:15.480 of course,
00:39:16.220 nowhere close
00:39:16.880 to Beyonce's vicinity
00:39:18.000 when it comes to fame.
00:39:19.040 But I just think
00:39:20.200 about the fact
00:39:21.000 that if I were
00:39:22.360 to go
00:39:22.960 and name search
00:39:23.840 myself
00:39:24.240 on any social media
00:39:25.540 platform
00:39:25.960 and read
00:39:27.040 like the first
00:39:27.720 100 comments
00:39:28.560 that pop up
00:39:29.200 about me,
00:39:30.320 if 30%
00:39:32.280 of them,
00:39:33.260 if 30 out of 100
00:39:34.440 were positive,
00:39:35.520 I would be shocked.
00:39:36.640 I would,
00:39:37.220 I'd feel like
00:39:38.260 I'd gone mainstream.
00:39:39.260 I mean,
00:39:39.480 I wouldn't know
00:39:40.320 what to think.
00:39:41.120 I don't know
00:39:41.380 if I'd be happy
00:39:41.880 or not.
00:39:43.860 But for someone
00:39:44.200 like Beyonce,
00:39:44.860 if she reads
00:39:45.460 10,000 comments
00:39:46.680 and one
00:39:48.340 of the 10,000
00:39:49.180 is negative,
00:39:50.740 then,
00:39:51.700 you know,
00:39:52.460 she'll write
00:39:52.840 a whole song
00:39:53.260 about it.
00:39:54.020 I mean,
00:39:54.240 she doesn't write
00:39:54.660 her own songs,
00:39:55.280 but you get the point.
00:39:57.420 All right,
00:39:57.940 we just talked
00:39:58.480 about obesity,
00:39:59.300 so before we move on,
00:40:00.740 I think this is a
00:40:01.620 video that
00:40:03.280 is relevant.
00:40:04.740 Here's a viral TikTok
00:40:05.780 related to the issue
00:40:07.480 of obesity.
00:40:07.980 Here it is.
00:40:08.240 I'm plus-size
00:40:10.120 and on a plane.
00:40:11.660 Of course,
00:40:12.060 I can't put the
00:40:12.560 tree down now.
00:40:13.440 I'm plus-size
00:40:13.880 and on a plane.
00:40:14.500 Of course,
00:40:14.780 I'm going to sit
00:40:15.180 beside the smallest
00:40:15.800 member of my family.
00:40:18.400 I'm plus-size
00:40:19.060 and on a plane.
00:40:19.720 Of course,
00:40:20.320 the armrest
00:40:20.780 is digging me
00:40:21.540 to the important.
00:40:25.200 I'm plus-size
00:40:25.800 and on a plane.
00:40:26.380 Of course,
00:40:26.800 I have to shimmy
00:40:27.320 down the aisle
00:40:27.820 sideways.
00:40:32.400 I'm plus-size
00:40:33.040 and on a plane.
00:40:33.600 Of course,
00:40:34.000 I need to see
00:40:34.380 pelvic center.
00:40:37.580 Okay,
00:40:38.240 just a few things
00:40:39.800 here.
00:40:41.160 First of all,
00:40:43.400 and I don't mean
00:40:43.900 this as an insult.
00:40:44.660 I really don't.
00:40:45.820 No offense intended,
00:40:47.400 but I think
00:40:48.620 plus-sized
00:40:49.580 doesn't really
00:40:51.260 tell the story
00:40:53.720 here.
00:40:55.980 Some of these people,
00:40:56.800 I think,
00:40:57.240 that go by plus-size,
00:40:58.500 they're a little bit
00:40:59.120 beyond plus-sized.
00:41:00.300 I think plus
00:41:01.080 is an understatement.
00:41:03.840 we need
00:41:05.120 more of a
00:41:06.180 multiplication sign
00:41:07.180 for her.
00:41:09.100 We got to go
00:41:10.140 to PEMDIS
00:41:10.760 and find
00:41:12.460 something different
00:41:15.220 for her.
00:41:15.540 But second,
00:41:16.360 how are these
00:41:16.960 TikTokers
00:41:18.540 not overwhelmed
00:41:19.580 with embarrassment
00:41:20.340 when they're filming
00:41:21.280 these things
00:41:22.220 in public?
00:41:23.180 That's the first thing
00:41:23.960 I think
00:41:24.260 every time I see
00:41:24.780 one of these videos.
00:41:25.580 First thing I think
00:41:26.080 before you get to
00:41:26.620 the substance of it,
00:41:27.420 which is always stupid,
00:41:28.120 is how are you not
00:41:31.420 humiliated
00:41:33.500 to be doing this
00:41:34.720 in public
00:41:35.340 where people are
00:41:36.020 sitting on the plane,
00:41:36.900 it's quiet,
00:41:37.680 like obviously
00:41:38.340 the plane hasn't
00:41:39.640 taken off yet
00:41:40.220 and everyone's
00:41:41.020 just sitting there
00:41:41.500 quietly and you're
00:41:42.360 filming your little
00:41:42.960 TikTok video.
00:41:44.480 I work in front
00:41:45.300 of a camera
00:41:45.700 for a living
00:41:46.280 and even for me,
00:41:47.620 it's always a little
00:41:48.280 bit awkward
00:41:48.660 if I'm filming
00:41:49.180 something in public
00:41:49.860 and people,
00:41:50.560 it feels a little
00:41:51.320 bit weird.
00:41:52.300 So how do they
00:41:52.700 not die of embarrassment?
00:41:53.740 I guess that requires
00:41:54.420 you to have some
00:41:54.980 sense of a,
00:41:56.940 some capacity
00:41:57.660 for shame,
00:41:58.420 some self-awareness
00:41:59.200 which these people
00:41:59.740 lack.
00:42:01.160 And, but of course
00:42:02.680 the main thing is
00:42:03.440 and I hesitate
00:42:04.220 to say this
00:42:04.800 and I'm not sure
00:42:05.800 if it's even true
00:42:06.420 but part of me
00:42:08.300 feels like
00:42:08.940 the fat acceptance,
00:42:10.380 fat rights people
00:42:11.560 are even more
00:42:13.720 insanely narcissistic
00:42:15.340 than the trans activists.
00:42:17.460 And I understand
00:42:18.320 what a statement
00:42:18.840 that is.
00:42:20.540 You know,
00:42:21.260 maybe I'm getting
00:42:22.220 caught up in the moment
00:42:22.900 here,
00:42:23.240 maybe it's recency bias
00:42:24.280 but it's a close race
00:42:26.380 between the two
00:42:26.880 either way.
00:42:27.340 We can say that,
00:42:28.180 no question.
00:42:29.560 But think about
00:42:29.960 what these people
00:42:30.360 are doing.
00:42:31.600 You know,
00:42:31.780 they are gorging
00:42:32.640 themselves
00:42:33.160 to an extreme degree.
00:42:36.100 I mean,
00:42:36.420 it takes a lot
00:42:37.180 of effort
00:42:37.620 to get that fat.
00:42:40.120 Let's be honest
00:42:40.900 about it.
00:42:41.820 We're not talking
00:42:42.500 about,
00:42:43.980 I mean,
00:42:44.800 to get sort of
00:42:45.940 out of shape
00:42:46.580 and a little bit
00:42:47.320 pudgy,
00:42:47.820 like that's easy.
00:42:48.880 I mean,
00:42:49.160 that can happen
00:42:50.300 to anybody.
00:42:51.340 And,
00:42:51.640 especially when
00:42:54.100 a lot of the food
00:42:54.760 we're eating,
00:42:55.620 even if you put
00:42:56.220 some effort
00:42:57.040 into your diet,
00:42:57.860 it's still easy
00:42:59.120 to get caught up
00:43:00.600 eating a lot
00:43:01.300 of garbage food
00:43:01.960 and all the rest
00:43:02.460 of it.
00:43:03.100 But we're not
00:43:03.480 talking about that.
00:43:04.140 We're talking about,
00:43:05.200 you know,
00:43:05.380 this is not a
00:43:05.980 eating a little bit
00:43:07.560 too much fast food,
00:43:08.500 having a midnight
00:43:08.980 snack or whatever.
00:43:09.860 We're talking about
00:43:10.400 eating just an
00:43:12.140 extraordinary volume
00:43:13.500 of food every day.
00:43:15.260 The amount of food
00:43:16.420 that it takes
00:43:16.940 to maintain,
00:43:17.600 that's something,
00:43:18.180 that is obesity
00:43:18.920 you have to maintain.
00:43:20.180 You have to like
00:43:20.680 put the effort
00:43:21.460 in to maintain it.
00:43:23.460 You have to basically
00:43:24.600 be constantly
00:43:25.400 eating all the time
00:43:26.680 in order to be
00:43:27.820 that fat.
00:43:28.840 We're talking
00:43:29.600 thousands and thousands
00:43:30.760 of calories
00:43:31.420 every single day,
00:43:32.780 deliberately putting
00:43:33.840 much more lard
00:43:36.140 on your body
00:43:36.740 than your bone
00:43:37.360 structure was ever
00:43:38.260 meant to hold.
00:43:40.080 And then after
00:43:42.380 doing all of that,
00:43:43.960 despite what we're
00:43:44.620 told about obesity
00:43:45.380 as a disease,
00:43:46.200 it's not,
00:43:46.680 as we've covered,
00:43:48.000 it's deliberate.
00:43:48.920 Now, you might,
00:43:50.620 when you're eating,
00:43:51.260 you might not be
00:43:51.740 thinking to yourself,
00:43:52.480 I want to be fat,
00:43:53.900 but you are deliberately
00:43:55.640 making yourself fat.
00:43:56.620 You are doing something
00:43:57.520 that you know
00:43:58.040 will make you fat
00:43:58.660 and it does
00:43:59.360 and that's it.
00:43:59.980 So, after putting
00:44:01.740 in all of this
00:44:02.360 deliberate effort
00:44:03.280 and ballooning
00:44:07.980 to that size
00:44:09.460 and then you turn
00:44:10.160 around after all
00:44:10.980 of that
00:44:11.440 and demand that
00:44:12.620 society must
00:44:13.360 rearrange itself
00:44:14.580 to accommodate
00:44:15.480 you
00:44:15.960 is
00:44:17.680 I mean,
00:44:20.800 if it's not
00:44:21.560 more narcissistic
00:44:22.560 than the trans activists,
00:44:23.840 it's at least
00:44:24.360 narcissistic
00:44:26.080 in the same
00:44:26.660 sort of way.
00:44:27.460 I mean,
00:44:27.740 it's a
00:44:28.880 tight competition
00:44:30.820 between the two,
00:44:31.660 we'll say.
00:44:32.820 Do you owe back taxes

00:44:47.360 for every $1 spent.

00:44:50.540 individuals and businesses
00:44:51.800 that currently owe

00:46:20.600 Now let's get to our
00:46:21.340 Daily Cancellation.
00:46:28.380 Today for our Daily Cancellation,
00:46:29.680 we have Planet Fitness.
00:46:30.860 Now we know that Planet Fitness
00:46:31.680 has been woke for a while,
00:46:33.680 perhaps for as long
00:46:34.420 as it's existed,
00:46:35.360 but it has survived
00:46:36.500 in spite of its wokeness
00:46:37.500 up until now
00:46:37.980 for the same reason
00:46:38.620 that there are
00:46:40.220 for the simple reason
00:46:41.120 that there are so many
00:46:41.800 of them around
00:46:42.400 and they're so cheap
00:46:43.480 and even if you hate
00:46:44.420 the politics of Planet Fitness,
00:46:45.580 it can be hard,
00:46:46.240 especially in this economy,
00:46:47.160 to resist a gym
00:46:48.200 that offers memberships
00:46:49.280 and 24-hour access
00:46:50.160 for like 13 cents a month
00:46:51.900 or whatever it is.
00:46:53.160 But as we saw
00:46:53.860 with Bud Light,
00:46:55.200 being cheap and convenient
00:46:56.600 will absolve you
00:46:57.560 of most sins,
00:46:58.900 even the sin of
00:46:59.680 offering a crappy product,
00:47:01.180 but it won't absolve you
00:47:02.420 of everything.
00:47:03.360 And that is what
00:47:04.120 Planet Fitness
00:47:04.640 is learning this week.
00:47:05.700 So backing up a few days,
00:47:07.200 a woman named Patricia Silva
00:47:08.620 went to her Planet Fitness location
00:47:10.240 in Fairbanks, Alaska
00:47:11.100 and discovered a man
00:47:13.280 in the women's locker room.
00:47:14.760 And, you know,
00:47:15.980 not that this matters that much.
00:47:17.220 A man is a man
00:47:17.880 no matter what he looks like,
00:47:18.960 but this particular man
00:47:20.840 wasn't even making any attempt
00:47:22.440 to look like he wasn't a man.
00:47:24.380 In fact,
00:47:25.060 he was standing at the sink
00:47:26.400 shaving.
00:47:28.000 Here's Patricia Silva
00:47:28.840 explaining.
00:47:30.380 I came in Monday,
00:47:31.700 there's a man
00:47:32.260 in the women's locker room
00:47:33.980 shaving.
00:47:35.700 A little girl
00:47:36.620 sitting in the corner,
00:47:38.200 she could have been
00:47:38.860 12 years old,
00:47:40.220 I don't know how old she was,
00:47:42.220 in a towel,
00:47:43.480 kind of freaked out
00:47:44.260 that there's a man
00:47:44.980 shaving in her locker room.
00:47:46.560 Well, I was offended.
00:47:47.740 I took a picture of him
00:47:48.900 and I asked him,
00:47:49.600 why are you there?
00:47:50.660 You're a man with a penis,
00:47:52.180 why are you in
00:47:52.900 the women's locker room?
00:47:54.780 And he justified
00:47:56.120 by saying,
00:47:57.160 I'm queer LGB,
00:47:58.720 and I said,
00:47:59.920 you shouldn't be
00:48:01.300 in the women's locker room.
00:48:02.460 Well, I left.
00:48:03.260 And as I said
00:48:06.220 this morning,
00:48:06.860 I got canceled.
00:48:08.640 Planet Fitness
00:48:09.180 is defending
00:48:10.100 the man
00:48:11.460 in the women's locker room,
00:48:13.020 the man with the penis,
00:48:14.580 rather than the child
00:48:16.040 sitting in the corner
00:48:16.840 with a towel
00:48:17.400 wrapped around her.
00:48:18.660 So people,
00:48:19.320 I just want you to know,
00:48:21.240 this is weird,
00:48:22.360 it's not good,
00:48:23.400 it's rather disturbing.
00:48:27.760 So I would like
00:48:29.460 for you women
00:48:29.960 to stand up
00:48:30.680 and have a voice
00:48:31.520 and stop
00:48:33.100 these shenanigans.
00:48:35.160 You have authority.
00:48:36.940 Use your authority.
00:48:38.540 I took that picture
00:48:39.440 because I was,
00:48:40.300 I was,
00:48:41.520 I felt like I was in a,
00:48:44.060 I felt like I was
00:48:44.980 in an unsafe space.
00:48:47.100 Well, yes,
00:48:47.760 of course she felt like
00:48:48.400 she was in an unsafe space.
00:48:49.400 There's a man in her locker room
00:48:50.540 acting out his sexual fetish.
00:48:51.960 By the way,
00:48:52.320 here's what the man looks like.
00:48:53.400 You can see the pictures there.
00:48:56.020 And yeah,
00:48:56.860 that's just a dude.
00:48:57.820 I mean,
00:48:58.060 even if he did
00:48:58.580 a slightly better job
00:48:59.880 not looking like a dude,
00:49:01.460 he'd still be a dude.
00:49:02.460 But with a guy like this,
00:49:04.060 I mean,
00:49:04.380 you see the farce
00:49:05.400 on full display.
00:49:06.300 This does not appear
00:49:07.260 to be a man
00:49:09.000 who thinks he's a woman
00:49:09.940 or feels like one
00:49:11.140 or is confused
00:49:11.780 about his gender identity,
00:49:13.080 quote unquote.
00:49:13.560 Although again,
00:49:14.480 he still wouldn't be one
00:49:15.580 even if he thought
00:49:16.100 he was one.
00:49:16.600 But in this case,
00:49:17.540 like so many other cases,
00:49:18.840 this does not seem
00:49:19.980 to be confusion.
00:49:21.940 This is simply
00:49:22.540 a much like
00:49:23.540 the intelligence officer
00:49:24.240 we talked about
00:49:24.660 earlier in the show.
00:49:25.220 This is a sexual fetish
00:49:26.320 being performed
00:49:27.520 in a locker room
00:49:28.300 with children present.
00:49:29.220 So of course,
00:49:29.720 Planet Fitness responds
00:49:30.520 by banning the woman
00:49:31.980 who complained about it.
00:49:33.580 In a statement,
00:49:34.300 according to the Daily Mail,
00:49:35.080 Planet Fitness said that
00:49:35.920 although some members
00:49:37.060 may be uncomfortable
00:49:38.100 having dudes
00:49:38.840 in the women's locker room,
00:49:40.160 quote,
00:49:40.300 this discomfort
00:49:40.880 is not a reason
00:49:41.520 to deny access
00:49:42.340 to the transgender member.
00:49:44.760 Of course,
00:49:45.120 as always,
00:49:45.620 this logic
00:49:46.040 is never applied
00:49:46.800 the other way
00:49:47.560 because we could
00:49:48.660 just as easily say,
00:49:49.780 in fact,
00:49:50.140 much more easily say
00:49:51.660 that the alleged discomfort
00:49:53.620 the man feels
00:49:54.600 in using the men's locker room
00:49:56.140 is not a reason
00:49:56.880 to invade the privacy
00:49:57.740 of women.
00:49:58.680 Because one way or another,
00:49:59.480 something is going to happen
00:50:00.920 that makes somebody
00:50:02.220 uncomfortable.
00:50:03.680 Somebody's discomfort
00:50:04.540 has to take priority.
00:50:06.000 Either the man
00:50:06.800 must be made uncomfortable
00:50:08.320 by being denied access
00:50:09.500 to the women's facilities
00:50:10.400 or all of the women
00:50:11.500 in the women's facility
00:50:12.320 must be made uncomfortable
00:50:13.500 by allowing him access to it.
00:50:16.240 And Planet Fitness says
00:50:16.920 that the discomfort
00:50:17.600 of the man
00:50:18.120 takes precedence.
00:50:19.640 It's better for 100 women
00:50:21.080 to be uncomfortable
00:50:21.720 than for one gender-confused man
00:50:23.560 to be uncomfortable.
00:50:24.400 That is the logic.
00:50:25.240 Now,
00:50:26.120 even by framing it this way,
00:50:27.460 I may be inadvertently
00:50:28.440 doing the man a favor.
00:50:29.480 After all,
00:50:29.940 as mentioned,
00:50:30.360 I don't even buy
00:50:31.020 that this guy
00:50:31.780 is gender-confused.
00:50:33.040 And I also don't buy
00:50:34.200 that he's actually uncomfortable
00:50:35.460 in the men's room.
00:50:37.080 I'm guessing this dude
00:50:37.820 has used men's rooms
00:50:38.820 hundreds of times
00:50:39.680 over the course of his life
00:50:40.620 without a problem.
00:50:42.100 But the point is that
00:50:43.540 by the logic of Planet Fitness,
00:50:45.220 according to their way
00:50:45.920 of thinking,
00:50:46.960 they are weighing
00:50:47.780 the discomfort
00:50:48.320 of one group
00:50:49.160 versus the other,
00:50:50.100 or rather one group
00:50:50.940 versus one individual,
00:50:52.880 and the individual wins out.
00:50:54.920 Because that is how
00:50:55.760 the left-wing victim calculus works.
00:50:58.360 Now,
00:50:58.480 the Daily Mail reached out
00:50:59.240 for a comment about all this,
00:51:00.120 and this is what Planet Fitness
00:51:00.960 said in response,
00:51:01.680 quote,
00:51:02.820 As the home of the
00:51:03.900 judgment-free zone,
00:51:04.900 Planet Fitness is committed
00:51:05.660 to creating an inclusive environment.
00:51:07.820 Our gender identity
00:51:08.460 non-discrimination policy
00:51:09.500 states that members
00:51:10.300 and guests may use
00:51:11.300 the gym facility
00:51:11.860 that best aligns
00:51:12.720 with their sincere,
00:51:13.740 self-reported gender identity.
00:51:15.640 The member who posted
00:51:16.400 on social media
00:51:16.980 violated a mobile device policy
00:51:18.400 that prohibits taking photos
00:51:19.320 of individuals in the locker room,
00:51:20.780 which resulted in the membership
00:51:21.860 being terminated.
00:51:23.620 Now,
00:51:24.260 you notice two things
00:51:25.560 in that statement.
00:51:26.820 The first is the phrase
00:51:27.760 sincere,
00:51:28.860 self-reported gender identity.
00:51:31.540 Never mind the fact
00:51:32.140 that gender identity
00:51:32.800 is a nonsensical concept.
00:51:34.100 You might as well say
00:51:35.120 that members have the right
00:51:36.900 to use whatever bathroom
00:51:38.540 that best aligns
00:51:39.300 with the wishes
00:51:39.720 of their invisible pet unicorn.
00:51:41.500 But more interesting
00:51:43.320 is the qualifier,
00:51:44.760 sincere,
00:51:45.800 self-reported.
00:51:47.600 Because if the gender identity
00:51:49.260 is self-reported,
00:51:50.760 then how do you know
00:51:51.940 that it's sincere?
00:51:53.880 Planet Fitness is essentially
00:51:54.720 claiming that
00:51:55.240 if a gender identity
00:51:56.400 is self-reported,
00:51:57.280 then it must be sincere.
00:51:59.360 As if it's impossible
00:52:00.640 that any man could ever claim
00:52:01.960 to have a gender identity
00:52:03.000 he doesn't really have
00:52:04.240 for the sake of gaining access
00:52:06.120 to the women's locker room.
00:52:08.540 Granted,
00:52:08.980 nobody has a gender identity,
00:52:10.560 so anyone claiming
00:52:11.320 a gender identity
00:52:11.880 is automatically pretending.
00:52:13.820 And that's exactly the point.
00:52:14.760 Planet Fitness
00:52:15.220 assumed sincerity.
00:52:17.180 The problem is
00:52:17.760 that the sincerity
00:52:19.140 of a man's belief
00:52:20.000 in his own womanhood
00:52:20.760 is irrelevant.
00:52:21.580 And also,
00:52:22.220 there's no possible way
00:52:23.620 to know whether he's sincere.
00:52:24.940 And assuming that he must be sincere
00:52:26.320 simply because he claimed it
00:52:27.640 is asinine.
00:52:30.100 Now,
00:52:30.540 the second thing you notice
00:52:31.300 is the trumpeting
00:52:32.080 of their
00:52:32.520 judgment-free zone slogan.
00:52:34.740 In reality,
00:52:35.760 you know,
00:52:35.960 there's no such thing
00:52:36.720 as being judgment-free.
00:52:38.620 Everybody exercises judgment.
00:52:40.620 To be a conscious human being
00:52:42.040 is to have judgment.
00:52:44.240 Indeed,
00:52:44.580 Planet Fitness
00:52:44.940 passed judgment
00:52:45.860 when it banned
00:52:46.440 the woman who complained.
00:52:48.360 Planet Fitness
00:52:48.820 makes a judgment call
00:52:49.960 when it allows men
00:52:50.780 into the woman's locker room
00:52:51.760 in an effort to respect
00:52:52.620 the man's, quote,
00:52:53.440 sincere gender identity.
00:52:55.420 That is judgment.
00:52:56.940 It's just that
00:52:57.620 it's very poor judgment.
00:52:59.700 Planet Fitness,
00:53:00.140 like much of the rest
00:53:00.920 of the culture,
00:53:01.920 is not a judgment-free zone.
00:53:03.800 It is a poor judgment zone.
00:53:06.300 It is a zone
00:53:07.720 for judging people
00:53:09.000 and situations wrongly,
00:53:11.000 which is not the same
00:53:13.320 as not judging them at all.
00:53:15.480 And now,
00:53:16.160 Planet Fitness,
00:53:16.740 thankfully,
00:53:17.140 is paying the price
00:53:18.520 for their poor judgment.
00:53:20.120 Here's the latest
00:53:20.620 from the Daily Mail,
00:53:21.180 quote,
00:53:21.560 Planet Fitness's valuation
00:53:22.880 has plummeted
00:53:23.520 $400 million
00:53:24.440 in five days
00:53:25.660 after they banned
00:53:26.320 a member
00:53:26.640 who shared a photo
00:53:27.360 of a trans woman,
00:53:28.500 quote, unquote,
00:53:29.140 using a female locker room.
00:53:31.280 The company's value
00:53:32.300 dropped from $5.3 billion
00:53:34.080 on March 14th
00:53:35.520 to $4.9 billion
00:53:37.020 on March 19th,
00:53:38.320 and its shares
00:53:38.940 are down by 13.59%
00:53:41.500 compared to a month ago.
00:53:43.080 The client follows
00:53:43.840 Planet Fitness's refusal
00:53:44.800 to walk back
00:53:45.520 its decision
00:53:46.000 to ban a member
00:53:46.760 who exposed a, quote,
00:53:47.900 trans woman
00:53:48.420 shaving in a female locker room
00:53:49.980 earlier this month.
00:53:50.640 The company's stock
00:53:51.380 fell by 7.8%
00:53:52.560 on Tuesday,
00:53:53.580 going from its opening price
00:53:54.660 of $59.44
00:53:55.980 to a five-month low
00:53:57.800 of $54.80
00:53:59.360 that then rebounded slightly.
00:54:00.920 So hopefully
00:54:01.820 this trend continues.
00:54:02.780 Planet Fitness
00:54:03.180 has the advantage
00:54:04.180 that unlike Bud Light,
00:54:06.080 their wokeness
00:54:06.980 has already been
00:54:07.820 to some extent
00:54:08.960 baked into the cake.
00:54:10.660 But if people
00:54:12.220 are really tired
00:54:13.180 of the cake,
00:54:13.760 then it could be
00:54:14.780 a problem
00:54:15.140 for Planet Fitness.
00:54:16.340 The fact is
00:54:17.160 that allowing men
00:54:17.840 in the women's locker room
00:54:18.680 is an indefensibly stupid,
00:54:20.380 reckless,
00:54:20.880 and dangerous decision.
00:54:22.460 Almost everybody
00:54:23.200 in the world
00:54:23.900 understands that
00:54:25.020 and always has.
00:54:27.220 It's just that
00:54:27.980 so many of them
00:54:29.320 have been
00:54:29.720 too afraid to say so.
00:54:31.780 And that seems
00:54:32.440 to be changing.
00:54:33.820 Which is good news
00:54:34.840 for Team Sanity,
00:54:36.160 but bad news
00:54:37.640 for Planet Fitness.
00:54:39.340 And that is why
00:54:39.920 they are today
00:54:41.260 canceled.
00:54:42.840 That's all for the show today.
00:54:43.720 Thanks for watching.
00:54:44.180 Thanks for listening.
00:54:44.740 Talk to you tomorrow.
00:54:45.360 Have a great day.
00:54:46.240 Godspeed.
00:54:46.540 Godspeed.
00:54:53.900 Godspeed.
00:54:55.140 That's all for the show.
00:55:09.440 Godspeed.
00:55:10.560 Godspeed.
00:55:11.320 Godspeed.
00:55:11.820 Godspeed.
00:55:12.320 Godspeed.
00:55:13.240 Godspeed.
00:55:14.020 Godspeed.
00:55:14.400 Godspeed.
00:55:14.920 Godspeed.
00:55:15.840 Godspeed.
00:55:19.640 Godspeed.
00:55:20.940 Godspeed.
