The airline that just flipped upside down on a runway in Toronto has been obsessed with diversity for many years. They seem to be more focused on girl power than on keeping their planes in the sky. Also, the Trump administration might ban food stamp recipients from using taxpayer money to buy junk food. Why isn t that already the policy? The mayor of Los Angeles says she needs to investigate to figure out why she decided to leave for Africa right before the wildfires broke out. And a new debate is raging on social media: Is it sexist for a dad to take just his son on a guy s trip?

Today on the Matt Wall Show, the airline that just flipped upside down on a runway in Toronto
00:00:03.400
has been obsessed with DEI for many years. They seem to be more focused on girl power than on
00:00:08.160
keeping their planes in the sky. Also, the Trump administration might ban food stamp recipients
00:00:12.200
from using taxpayer money to buy junk food. Why isn't that already the policy? The mayor of Los
00:00:16.600
Angeles says she needs to investigate to figure out why she decided to leave for Africa right
00:00:21.120
before the wildfires broke out. And a new debate is raging on social media. Is it sexist for a dad
00:00:25.820
to take just his son on a guy's trip? The internet says yes, and the internet is, of course, wrong
00:00:31.260
again. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:55.820
Do you wish you could have invested in the stock market last year when investors scored the highest

00:01:50.120
revisit the early days of Barack Obama's presidency. Conservatives don't want to relive the whole nightmare for
00:01:55.200
obvious reasons. And for their part, Democrats would rather move on too. They don't particularly
00:01:59.420
want to dwell on Obama's Russian reset, for example, where he told us that Putin wasn't really a bad guy.
00:02:05.320
That kind of thinking isn't exactly compatible with Democrats' current narrative. Nor are Democrats
00:02:10.020
interested in reminding everyone of Obama's promises to lower health care costs or his promise to close
00:02:15.280
Guantanamo Bay or his promise to stop the weather from changing. None of that happened. And so on.
00:02:21.100
If there's bipartisan agreement on anything, it's that Obama's presidency isn't worth talking about
00:02:26.280
anymore. But there is one moment from the early Obama years that has suddenly become relevant
00:02:31.540
again. And I'm talking about the crash of a Colgan Air passenger plane, which was flying under the
00:02:36.520
brand name of Continental Airlines. The crash occurred in February of 2009, just a month after
00:02:41.340
Obama's inauguration. It was the fourth in a string of crashes involving regional airliners from 2005 to
00:02:47.620
2009. Fifty people died, including one person on the ground. And an investigation revealed that the
00:02:53.200
pilots, one man and one woman, were overworked and underpaid. They were also objectively bad pilots, at
00:02:59.200
least on that particular night. They weren't paying attention to their instruments to the point that
00:03:03.420
they stalled their plane while on approach for landing. And then when the aircraft warned them of the stall,
00:03:08.780
they panicked and turned a bad situation into a catastrophe. In the wake of that crash, the Obama
00:03:13.940
administration mandated a series of changes that, taken together, amount to a major overhaul of the
00:03:20.380
entire aviation industry. One of the big changes was that all pilots, whether they flew for a regional
00:03:26.460
carrier or a major airline, needed to have hundreds of hours of additional training before they could be
00:03:32.200
certified. The pilots were also entitled to more rest breaks. And there were several other new
00:03:37.120
regulations too. And for the most part, nobody objected. It was a pretty uncontroversial move.
00:03:41.600
After all, when planes are crashing all over the place, it makes sense to require better training
00:03:45.440
and more rest for the pilots. But all of these new regulations created a new problem.
00:03:51.800
Airlines that were already struggling with a pilot shortage began having even more difficulty finding
00:03:57.060
enough pilots to fly their routes. In an industry that was concerned with safety, the solution to
00:04:01.800
this problem is kind of obvious. You can either raise salaries to attract more pilots, or you can cut
00:04:08.240
down on flights. But the aviation industry, with the encouragement of the Obama administration,
00:04:13.560
decided on a different approach. They began to appeal to so-called diverse applicants and adopt a
00:04:19.400
much more lax, carefree workplace culture. Just like the FAA, which lowered standards to attract
00:04:25.280
different demographics, airlines created programs to attract women and racial minorities. And then,
00:04:30.880
after the COVID mandates decimated the aviation industry like so many others,
00:04:34.220
these efforts went into overdrive. The defenders of these diversity initiatives insist that,
00:04:41.180
well, they insisted, still do, I suppose, that standards weren't being compromised.
00:04:45.380
They argued that the pool of applicants was just being expanded, but that all pilots were still
00:04:50.600
competent. They maintained that, you know, that line of argument, even after an Amazon cargo plane
00:04:56.040
operated by Atlas Air crashed in 2019 while landing in Houston, when the pilot inexplicably steered the plane
00:05:02.600
directly into the water. An investigation revealed that the pilot, a man from the Caribbean nation of
00:05:07.780
Antigua named Conrad Aska, had repeatedly failed flight training, but was promoted anyway.
00:05:14.720
His family even sued Amazon, alleging that Conrad Aska never should have been allowed in the cockpit to
00:05:19.080
begin with based on his sheer incompetence. But both Amazon and Atlas Air, which repeatedly preached
00:05:24.320
about the importance of diversity, had no problem handing Conrad Aska the keys to a wide-body Boeing cargo
00:05:31.020
plane. The defenders of diversity initiatives also downplayed the crash of Southwest Airlines Flight
00:05:36.640
345, which suffered a landing gear collapse while landing at LaGuardia in 2013. The whole plane was
00:05:43.980
totaled. It was a $15 million loss. Several people were seriously injured. This is a crash that you
00:05:50.040
probably haven't heard much about, even though, given recent events, it's once again very relevant.
00:05:54.540
And I'll show you this is footage taken by a passenger on board Southwest Flight 345. It shows the moment
00:06:01.940
that the front landing gear collapsed as soon as the plane touched the ground after a very rapid descent.
00:06:38.160
This plane is not going to move unless they got a tow truck or something.
00:06:49.720
Now, an investigation revealed that the captain of this flight was a woman who had multiple complaints
00:06:55.360
filed against her by her co-pilots. And in this instance, she allowed the plane to descend rapidly
00:07:00.280
towards the ground without properly configuring the flaps for landing. And then when she knew the
00:07:04.620
plane was going too fast, she did not abort the landing. Instead, she ordered the first officer
00:07:08.700
to, quote, get down. And then she aggressively took control of the plane herself and flew it,
00:07:13.080
nose first, into the runway. So how was a pilot this incompetent allowed to serve as a captain
00:07:20.400
ferrying passengers around on a jetliner? Well, a few weeks ago, I received a tip from a pilot at
00:07:25.660
Southwest who told me that this particular captain was notorious for inappropriate and dangerous
00:07:31.240
behavior in the cockpit. A lot of pilots didn't want to fly with her.
00:07:34.620
And the captain, for her part, thought the complaints were really about her gender or her
00:07:39.100
sexuality instead of her competence. And apparently Southwest agreed.
00:07:43.160
This was not a widely reported episode for the simple reason that it's extremely inconvenient to
00:07:49.080
the proponents of so-called diversity in aviation. We are required to believe that diversity improves
00:07:55.360
the functioning of every organization, whether it's Harvard University or Southwest Airlines or
00:07:59.580
anything else. So most media outlets buried the story. And they kept the identity of the woman
00:08:04.860
pilot confidential, even after Southwest finally terminated her employment following the crash.
00:08:10.060
Very few news reports mentioned her gender at all or any other identifying information about her.
00:08:14.700
They did the same thing with Conrad Aska and many other pilots. They just didn't talk about them.
00:08:20.260
And for a while, this strategy worked. Diversity initiatives continued for many years without any
00:08:25.280
interruption across all major airlines. But the problem, of course, is that you can't downplay
00:08:31.040
airline crashes forever. Eventually, the crashes become more noticeable. Eventually, people start
00:08:37.040
dying and not just in cargo planes. And at that point, which is the point we've now reached,
00:08:42.300
the toll of diversity becomes harder and harder to deny. And then people will do the rational thing.
00:08:49.220
They'll start looking more closely at what exactly is going on in the aviation industry. And in
00:08:53.960
particular, they'll start looking at who exactly is flying the aircraft that keep crashing.
00:09:00.700
Now, first, of course, there was the disastrous mid-air collision that was apparently caused,
00:09:05.520
at least in part, by a female Black Hawk pilot near Washington's Reagan Airport. The pilot was
00:09:11.460
clearly flying too high for reasons that are not clear. She also failed to see a jet that was directly
00:09:17.280
in her path. And based on the most recent information we have from the NTSB, it's clear
00:09:22.400
that about three minutes before the collision, the Black Hawk pilot was warned by her instructor that
00:09:26.760
she was flying 100 feet too high for the area that they were flying in. She was also warned about the
00:09:31.880
passenger jet by air traffic control, which also provided the passenger jet's location well over a
00:09:36.900
minute before impact. But she never took any evasive action whatsoever. And the pilots of the American
00:09:41.740
Airlines plane put their plane into a maximum nose-up climb just one second before impact.
00:09:46.820
So clearly, they eventually saw something, but it was too late. And the woman flying the Black Hawk
00:09:53.020
apparently never did see anything somehow. Then earlier this week, we all witnessed the Endeavour
00:10:01.000
air crash at Toronto's airport. The plane clearly came in too quickly, just like the Southwest Airlines
00:10:09.320
jet that I mentioned earlier. And then the landing gear collapsed, and the plane flipped over.
00:10:14.600
Based on air traffic control audio, it appears that one pilot, the one who was presumably handling the
00:10:20.300
radios instead of flying the plane, was a male. But we still don't have the identity of the pilot who
00:10:25.800
was actually flying the plane. We have not been officially told that information, interestingly
00:10:31.160
enough. Reports from various sources online citing tips from airline pilots and firefighters at
00:10:36.960
Toronto's airport suggest that the pilot who was flying the plane was a woman. Now, this has not been
00:10:41.400
officially confirmed, but this is what various reports are saying. But we don't know for sure
00:10:46.080
because no one in the government or at Delta Airlines will tell us. Now, if it's true that it
00:10:51.760
was a woman flying the plane, that wouldn't exactly be a surprise. Endeavour air and Delta have gone out of
00:10:57.840
their way in recent years to advertise how many female pilots they have. They've also done a full court
00:11:03.040
press to attract more female applicants. In fact, as you may have seen, Endeavour's official TikTok and
00:11:08.400
X accounts are obsessed with the idea of so-called unmanned flights, which means in their case that no
00:11:14.660
men are in the crew. So they're not just pro-women, they are actively anti-man. Imagine an airline
00:11:22.080
advertising that it's an unwomanned flight. Imagine them advertising that, hey, this is a flight where
00:11:27.540
there are no women involved. They would never do that. But here they're bragging about the fact that
00:11:33.240
there are no men in the crew, as if that's a good thing. And if I'm being honest, whoever's putting
00:11:40.060
together Endeavour's social media posts seems to have a sense of humor about the situation.
00:11:44.200
Here, for example, is one recent tweet from Endeavour. And as you can see, it reads,
00:11:49.440
buckle up, ladies and gentlemen, your flight is unmanned today. And then there's the picture of
00:11:54.660
the all-female flight crew. And it also says, hashtag girl power. Now, on the surface, I guess this is
00:12:01.640
supposed to be an empowering girl boss message. But if that's the case, then why does it begin with
00:12:08.420
the warning, buckle up? It's like going to a restaurant where they tell you, enjoy your food
00:12:13.960
presented by an all-female kitchen. Hope you brought a bucket. It's almost like whoever's
00:12:18.700
writing this post knows something we don't. And then there's this now infamous TikTok footage from
00:12:25.180
Endeavour Air featuring a few more girl bosses. Some of these clips are so on the nose that it seems
00:12:31.460
like they were prepared by a male intern somewhere who's tired of all the DEI initiatives. And he
00:12:36.660
was trying to find some desperate way to communicate the message without losing his internship in the
00:12:41.440
process. So I don't know how this came about, but let's go back and watch these again.
00:12:47.240
Girls, come on. Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don't think so.
00:12:53.880
Live fast, die young, bad girls, do it well. Live fast, die young.
00:12:59.260
No, no, no, we ain't giving no hope. I ain't Romeo and I'll hold, hold.
00:13:04.660
Making a party, chocolate barbie waiting on me.
00:13:56.580
This is all stuff that you want to see from your pilots before they take off.
00:14:07.400
You want sassiness from your pilots, don't you?
00:14:11.980
When I get on a plane, the main thing I'm looking for, I'm looking for the sassiness.
00:14:18.400
Now, you may have caught the lyrics in one of the songs featured in those social media videos.
00:14:25.040
The lyrics were, live fast, die young, bad girls do it well.
00:14:32.660
That's what you hear after you read the caption, leave the flying to the men?
00:14:38.380
Again, this is the official messaging of an airline that's supposedly committed to safety and competence.
00:14:44.560
They want you to know that you'll have an all-female flight crew that loves to, quote, live fast and die young.
00:14:51.140
That's about the worst possible mantra for an airline pilot.
00:14:57.660
I can't think of any mantra that I'd less like to hear from an airline pilot than live fast, die young.
00:15:08.240
Now, when I looked at the rest of Endeavor's TikTok account, I found that these clips are not rare exceptions to the norm.
00:15:17.100
Pretty much every single post involves women dancing or miming the words to a song of some kind.
00:15:23.520
It's like a sorority's TikTok channel instead of the official social media account of a company that's responsible for, you know,
00:15:29.960
flying thousands of passengers across the sky at high speeds in aluminum tubes every single day.
00:15:36.080
So here's just a small selection of what I'm talking about.
00:15:39.100
Yeah, you let, let, let, look into me like I'm some sweet escape.
00:15:44.440
Obvious that you want me, but I said I would want myself.
00:15:53.140
I've been saying I've been coming, getting grip.
00:15:57.140
I've been giving everything that don't make sense.
00:16:01.980
Then you're driving me home, and it kind of comes out, as I get up to go.
00:16:08.840
You kiss me, in your car, and it feels like the start of a movie I've seen before.
00:16:23.960
It hits me, in the car, and it feels like the end of a movie I've seen.
00:16:30.680
Dear God, can you imagine being on the plane before takeoff and looking out the window
00:16:38.700
and seeing your flight crew running down, you know, down the tarmac like a, like a Disney princesses?
00:16:53.040
I mean, it's like they're running an adult daycare.
00:16:57.480
You know, they're not even pretending to convey the idea that they're serious people
00:17:04.040
The description for Endeavor Air's account on TikTok reads, quote,
00:17:12.240
I just have to emphasize again, this is an airline, okay?
00:17:20.560
which I assume is a reference to the CRJ aircraft that they fly.
00:17:31.220
Now, this is how you would present your company if you wanted to attract the ditziest,
00:17:35.260
least responsible, and least intelligent applicants imaginable.
00:17:39.280
And based on recent events, it seems like that's exactly what Endeavor got.
00:17:42.700
But as easy as it would be to blame this on Endeavor,
00:17:46.440
which is a relatively small subsidiary of Delta,
00:17:49.060
the truth is that this is a much deeper problem.
00:17:52.020
And to illustrate that, here's footage from the pinned tweet
00:17:55.000
of Delta Airlines' main account at the time of the Endeavor air crash.
00:17:59.600
This has probably changed now, but at the time,
00:18:02.960
and this is Delta now we're talking about, watch.
00:18:12.700
So this whole slay concept is apparently a big deal at both Endeavor and Delta.
00:18:21.260
They're thinking it's a really important message to communicate,
00:18:27.000
Now, of course, as you may know, slay means to kill.
00:18:31.060
And that's what you can expect to happen now when you board these planes, evidently.
00:18:39.120
Now, as painful as this footage is, I will give Delta some credit.
00:18:46.280
Delta's CEO was given an opportunity to blame Donald Trump for the crash in Toronto.
00:18:50.940
Yes, the corporate press is going with the narrative that Donald Trump is responsible
00:18:53.900
for a pilot's terrible crash landing in a foreign country.
00:19:00.980
the Delta CEO immediately shot the question down,
00:19:03.020
which led to a pretty entertaining facial expression from the CBS anchor, watch.
00:19:09.400
You know, the Trump administration recently fired many employees of the FAA administration.
00:19:19.640
I know you just said it's the safest way to travel.
00:19:21.860
But after looking at all these mishaps, a lot of people are very nervous.
00:19:31.100
I've been in close communication with the Secretary of Transportation.
00:19:35.420
I understand that the cuts at this time are something that are raising questions.
00:19:41.440
But the reality is there's over 50,000 people that work at the FAA.
00:19:47.300
And they were in non-critical safety functions.
00:19:49.700
The Trump administration has committed to investing deeply in terms of improving
00:19:54.900
the overall technologies that are used in the air traffic control systems and modernizing the skies.
00:20:00.000
They've committed to hiring additional controllers and investigators and safety investigators.
00:20:09.340
So she was quite confounded that he did not take the opportunity to blame Trump.
00:20:14.580
I mean, because she's been, she has asked a version of this question on air,
00:20:21.660
probably 50,000 times in various different contexts, where she brings, something bad is happening.
00:20:28.040
She brings somebody on and says, say, don't you think this is really the fault of Donald Trump?
00:20:33.340
And every single time for 50,000 times, the person always goes, well, yeah, of course.
00:20:39.780
This is the one time where someone's like, no, I don't think he had anything to do with it.
00:20:49.160
But you notice there's no question from CBS about the identity of the pilot or her qualifications
00:20:54.260
or whether Endeavor regrets posting nonstop music video TikToks for the past five years,
00:20:59.720
where they advertise that they want to slay their passengers and die young.
00:21:08.580
Instead, the question is about how Donald Trump is to blame.
00:21:10.680
And this has been the approach of so many establishment interests ever since the aviation industry
00:21:14.480
began experiencing a series of crashes more than a decade ago.
00:21:17.660
They deflect and they minimize responsibility, all while insisting that the underlying system is working fine.
00:21:22.700
But with every major airline disaster, these deflections become less and less effective.
00:21:27.260
The more they hide information about who's flying these planes, the more people will come to realize what's actually going on.
00:21:32.940
And at a certain point, a point that is rapidly approaching, nobody will fly on a plane unless they know who's flying it.
00:21:40.400
People are going to demand reviews of pilots like they demand reviews of restaurants before making a reservation.
00:21:46.580
Now, that probably won't be a sustainable model for most airlines, but for people who want to fly with some peace of mind,
00:21:54.440
free from the complete and total incompetence that Obama-era diversity initiatives have wrought so many years later,
00:22:34.900
My cell phone company says no to inflated prices with a qualifying plan.
00:22:39.040
You can choose an iPhone 14 or a Samsung Galaxy for $0.
00:22:42.820
And yes, this is for premium service on America's most dependable 5G network.
00:22:51.140
You can get your iPhone 14 or Samsung Galaxy for $0 with a qualifying plan by going to puretalk.com slash Walsh.
00:22:58.620
You can make the switch in as little as 10 minutes.
00:23:00.380

New York Post reports Americans on food stamps may be banned from using them to buy sugary drinks and other junk food,
00:23:21.340
Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rollins said on Friday.
00:23:24.260
The newly appointed cabinet official said she'll work with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
00:23:29.220
And Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency to prioritize food stamp benefits for healthy food items.
00:23:35.860
Rollins told reporters, will we ever take food out of a hungry child's mouth?
00:23:41.640
Truly, this program has grown so large, especially in the last administration.
00:23:44.700
Under Biden, I think it grew almost 30% more than before.
00:23:52.440
We really need to look at where the money is going and what it's being spent on.
00:23:57.260
So there's been a lot of controversy over this, as you can imagine, this news that the Trump administration might look to
00:24:03.180
narrow down the types of food items that you can use your food stamps or your SNAP benefits on.
00:24:12.840
But of course, this is exactly the right policy.
00:24:15.260
Of course, people on food stamps should not be allowed to buy junk food with them.
00:24:21.280
I mean, they could buy junk food if they want, but they could buy it with their own money.
00:24:25.640
Taxpayers should not be funding someone's junk food addiction, which is incredibly obvious.
00:24:29.820
There really is no credible argument to the contrary, except just like a logistical argument about how you enforce this.
00:24:35.620
But I think it's certainly feasible to enforce.
00:24:38.820
If you have the will to enforce it, you can enforce it.
00:24:43.800
And there needs to be a lot of reforms to these programs, obviously.
00:24:49.160
You know, I think something like 40 million people are on food stamps.
00:24:55.280
OK, it tells us that these benefits are being doled out without enough vetting and that food stamps and entitlements have become a lifestyle for millions of people rather than a temporary helping hand to get them through a tough time, which is how all of these programs were initially sold to the public.
00:25:12.300
But for a long time now, they've become a lifestyle.
00:25:21.640
And when I say need, I mean, if we got rid of food stamps, if we got rid of SNAP, would 40 million people starve to death because of it?
00:25:30.260
Are food stamps the thing preventing the mass starvation of 40 million people?
00:25:36.700
Not if you have five brain cells, you don't believe that.
00:25:38.880
So there are too many people on the program, and the program is not nearly restrictive enough in terms of what you can use it to purchase.
00:25:48.820
And in terms of food, it should provide for basic nutrition.
00:25:52.680
It should not provide for any food that has zero nutritional value.
00:26:00.360
And there are a lot of those kinds of foods out there, which, speaking of which, and this is, I mean, this was all really just a setup for me to talk about this, which is that I needed some sort of segue because I've been very troubled by this.
00:26:20.220
I was at Walmart, actually, and I saw a woman buying something that I didn't know existed.
00:26:26.400
It was my first, I had not, I had never become acquainted with this product, but there was a woman buying a bottle of Skittles juice.
00:26:37.900
Now, I'm not saying she was using Snap to pay for it.
00:26:45.660
I'm just saying, in terms of junk food, just to show you how bad it is out there, if you didn't already know, Skittles juice, that's a thing.
00:26:54.960
Or I think, and I looked this up later because I was like, I didn't make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me.
00:27:00.800
They just, Skittles rolled it out very recently, actually.
00:27:03.440
Just in 2024, they rolled out their Skittles, their line of Skittles drinks.
00:27:08.040
And so it is technically Skittles drink, not Skittles juice, because it's not juice.
00:27:13.700
I mean, they can't legally call it juice because there's, there were definitely no fruits involved in the making of this concoction.
00:27:21.220
There was no fruit within a 50-mile radius of whatever factory they used to make this sludge.
00:27:29.080
Like, this stuff was, even just the color of it is not, it's like this neon, it looks like it was harvested from the Chernobyl,
00:27:40.080
I mean, it's, the color of the liquid isn't even on the color spectrum.
00:27:53.300
They buy it on purpose, in public, where we can all see them doing it.
00:28:08.280
But she was talking about, she was like talking about, oh, you get the Skittles drink.
00:28:18.340
I would rather drink from the punch bowl at the people's temple than drink Skittles drink.
00:28:28.500
If I was dying of thirst in the desert, and somebody came up and said, I hadn't had a drink in a week, and I'm on death's door, and they offered me a, you know, bright neon red Skittles drink, I would not.
00:28:48.580
So I would rather drink straight from a river in Indonesia than drink a Skittles drink.
00:28:58.500
And then we wonder why there's an obesity epidemic.
00:29:01.260
And we're told that it's a thyroid problems and hormonal problems, and that's all it is.
00:29:06.880
Meanwhile, people are out here guzzling liquid Skittles.
00:29:10.800
There are people who have decided that regular candy Skittles require too much effort to consume.
00:29:20.320
They're burning too many calories eating Skittles because they have to chew them.
00:29:25.520
And so they need a more convenient, less, a lower effort delivery mechanism for Skittles.
00:29:34.060
We are, people joke about this, but we are seriously one step away from intravenous Skittles.
00:29:43.920
A Skittles-flavored IV drip is where you're going to see people, morbidly obese people,
00:29:49.820
on scooters with an IV drip of neon green Skittles going right into their arm.
00:29:57.140
And people are going to look at that and still say, oh, they must have a hormone problem.
00:30:19.580
This has already happened probably thousands of times.
00:30:43.320
So if you're listening to the, so you're going to get a reprieve.
00:30:45.600
If you're an audio podcast listener, this will be a reprieve for you.
00:30:48.940
So you don't, you don't have to, don't worry, but you don't have to put this on mute.
00:30:54.240
So these are leftists at the Kennedy senator protesting the leadership changes that have
00:31:02.560
Most notably, the leadership change was that Trump put himself in charge of it, which is
00:31:07.460
And so they are protesting this through the art of dance.
00:31:16.760
And as you know, as a renowned interpretive dancer myself, and as a former contestant on
00:31:29.080
I wanted to see what kind of protest dance they came up with.
00:31:36.660
I mean, I might be a Trump supporter, but, but if you're having a dance, you know, just
00:31:40.220
for the art of it, I would have liked to come and participate just because I'm so,
00:31:44.440
just because dance is so important to me, but anyway, so this is what they came up with.
00:32:32.400
And then you just repeat that move over and over again.
00:32:39.940
That was the laziest, most lackadaisical, low energy dance routine of all time.
00:32:51.840
I was expecting something with some vigor and aggression to it.
00:33:07.080
That's, that's the music that you hear in the lobby at a swanky hotel.
00:33:26.320
I think, I think, I think they forgot to choreograph it or they thought they showed up that day and someone was supposed to have come up with the choreography.
00:33:33.660
And the guy's like, oh, shoot, was I supposed to do that?
00:33:37.160
And so it looks like the person in the front of the line is kind of making it up as she goes along and everyone's just imitating her.
00:33:45.880
It looked, uh, it looked, the choreography looked like the guy on the tarmac waving the planes in.
00:33:53.980
That's what it, and maybe that's how the plane ended up, ended up upside down.
00:34:02.780
And so that doesn't even, you know what, that doesn't even rise to the level of being cringy.
00:34:17.200
So that's, uh, that's, uh, I rate that a three out of 10.
00:34:22.600
I mean, at most, that was just, that was a letdown.
00:34:26.700
Karen Bass, the historically incompetent mayor of Los Angeles, who was off in Ghana while the fires burned down her city, um, sat down with the LA Fox affiliate for her first interview since the fires.
00:34:38.140
And she tried to explain why she decided to travel to another country thousands of miles away, even though she knew or should have known that there was a risk, a major risk of these fires happening.
00:34:49.820
And the problem for her is that, you know, the answer, the, the real reason why she went to Africa is that she just doesn't care.
00:34:59.600
She doesn't care about Los Angeles or the people who live there.
00:35:03.200
And she didn't want to say that I'd almost respect her.
00:35:07.160
If she would just say that, if she would have just said, Hey, no, well, I mean, the reason I did it is just cause I don't, I don't give a crap.
00:35:13.060
That's why I don't, I don't care about these people.
00:35:15.260
So I mean, I like morally, I would object to that, but that's the truth.
00:35:26.060
I'm going to go to Ghana, which I know you've said was a mistake now.
00:35:30.180
Um, but I, I just am curious on the thought process behind it, because we know that there was warnings about the weather before you went and you still went.
00:35:38.780
What was the thought process behind going to Ghana?
00:35:42.820
Uh, first of all, when the white house called and asked me if I would represent the president, I said, yes, it was going to be a very, very short trip over a weekend and two business days.
00:35:55.000
We need to look at everything about the preparation and all of that for the fires, because I think when we evaluate that, we will find that although there were warnings that I frankly wasn't aware of,
00:36:11.120
although there were warnings, I think our preparation, what it wasn't, what it typically is, meaning that before there's a major weather event, for example, last week when we knew we were going to get into the rains.
00:36:23.560
You saw us come together and us talk about, you know, get your sandbags, bring the K rails out.
00:36:32.280
If that had, I will tell you, Alex, I wouldn't have even gone to San Diego, let alone leave the country.
00:36:38.640
But what do you mean there were warnings you weren't aware of?
00:36:40.640
Because I know we were talking about it on the news.
00:36:42.540
A lot of people were talking about the problems, uh, warning that this was going to be a huge deal.
00:36:46.940
So when I, uh, talked about it with, with the fire chief, what she said is, is that we have warnings of Santa Ana winds a lot.
00:36:55.600
But predicting this, and you saw, we, from the city, from the county, that level of preparation really didn't happen.
00:37:05.020
So it didn't reach that level to me to say something terrible could happen and maybe you shouldn't have gone on the trip.
00:37:13.860
I mean, I think that that's one of the things we need to look at.
00:37:18.760
Uh, one internal to the city and that's the fire commission because that's mandated by the city charter.
00:37:24.700
So the commission will hire an outside entity to examine everything, the pre-deployment, you know, why were staffs, why were firefighters sent home?
00:37:33.680
You know, all of that that should have taken place that didn't.
00:37:37.400
And then also the governor has contracted with the Fire Safety Research Institute, which is a national institute that investigated what happened in the fires in Maui.
00:37:47.780
So everything that happened, including that, needs to be examined.
00:37:52.640
But I will tell you that I felt absolutely terrible not being here for my city and not being here for my family.
00:38:03.320
She's going to investigate why she went to Ghana.
00:38:06.060
And, you know, now we've heard politicians dodge responsibilities, responsibility many times by claiming that they're investigating something.
00:38:17.220
I mean, this is beyond what we normally hear because she's, she's, in this case, she's investigating why she personally did something.
00:38:27.000
So the question is, uh, Mayor Bass, why did you do this thing?
00:38:32.460
Well, we have to investigate to find out why I did that thing.
00:38:40.220
So we can investigate and within the next 36 months, uh, we'll, we'll be able to convene.
00:38:47.000
We'll have enough information to have a hearing that will then have a further investigation to figure out why I did that thing.
00:38:52.640
Um, now the truth though, is that voters in Los Angeles have no right to be shocked and appalled by the fact that, that, uh, Karen Bass was overseas.
00:39:03.200
This has been the thing that has defined her political career for as long as she has had a political career.
00:39:09.300
When she was in Congress, she was constantly jet setting around the globe, constantly finding any excuse to be in any country, but our own.
00:39:17.940
Um, so it was obvious that she preferred Africa to her own country.
00:39:21.740
She was always in Africa, always off somewhere, always on the weakest, most dubious pretense.
00:39:28.280
I mean, we played, um, on the show before we played, uh, uh, back when the fires first broke out, we played a montage of clips of Karen Bass when she was in Congress appearing on African media because she was constantly in Africa doing interviews on African TV stations talking about African problems.
00:39:49.720
She cared deeply about Africa and helping Africa and protecting Africa and advancing the interests of Africa.
00:39:55.500
And, uh, so her, her obsession with, with, um, never being in her own country was well known.
00:40:02.260
It was everybody knew this and it's why she felt the need to publicly pledge when she ran for mayor that she would not take any international trips.
00:40:11.180
Like that's not a thing that a mayoral candidate usually has to even address because it's not a question.
00:40:17.320
But in this case, she had to, because she was constantly overseas.
00:40:24.220
She said she wouldn't take any, any international trips, but then she was elected and she proceeded to take five international trips in the span of like a year, all funded by taxpayers.
00:40:37.460
Three of those trips were to Paris for the Olympics.
00:40:43.480
Um, she also went to attend the, uh, inauguration of the Mexican presidents.
00:40:51.260
Why does the mayor of Los Angeles need to be at the inauguration of the Mexican president?
00:40:55.520
Why does the mayor of Los Angeles need to go to the Olympics?
00:41:04.000
So, uh, when, when voters in Los Angeles claim that they've been let down or betrayed, I don't have a lot of sympathy.
00:41:13.340
Why did you vote for this person in the first place?
00:41:18.260
It's the same story with Democrat voters in every major city in the country.
00:41:21.920
They vote for these absolute clowns, these utterly useless, vacuous nothings.
00:41:29.240
And then when the pathetic imbecile they selected to run their country, run their city, runs it like a pathetic imbecile, they, uh, they, they're surprised.
00:41:42.760
This is what the investigation should look into.
00:41:44.780
If you're in Los Angeles and you voted for Karen Bass, and obviously this was before the fires, so you could say, well, I didn't know that.
00:41:57.200
What was it about Karen Bass that made you say, wow, she needs to be in charge of the city that I live in?
00:42:05.340
Like, what specifically, what is it about her that made you look at that and say, well, yeah, she's the one.
00:42:12.740
This is a woman whose great passion in life, aside from her own political advancement, was Africa, okay?
00:42:22.240
Why would you think that somebody like that would be a good mayor of an American city?
00:42:27.380
If she was running for a mayor of an African city, then I could see it.
00:42:30.700
But, but why, why would you vote her to run your city as an American?
00:42:41.500
And you know, the crazy thing is that, is that, uh, Karen Bass is up for re-election and she's already announced that she's running for re-election.
00:42:58.600
It's not outside of the realm of possibility that she could still win.
00:43:01.940
Um, which is why it's just really hard to feel sorry for the people who live in these cities.
00:43:09.780
Um, it's just, you, you, it's like you have a death wish.
00:43:15.160
You keep voting for people who, like everybody else can look and see.
00:43:21.040
Only bad things can happen when you put someone like that in charge and yet you keep doing it.
00:43:29.480
If you're a man, it's required that you grow a beard.
00:43:36.640
I'm so thrilled to hear someone bringing up the issue of breaking blind and therefore expanding the placebo effect.
00:43:44.420
And this is a particularly massive issue with a drug for a mental health condition.
00:43:48.140
I've been trying to tell people about this issue with SSRIs for over a decade.
00:43:51.620
And I've been trying to explain why the six week re-uptake window calling their efficacy into question as well.
00:43:57.200
Uh, and I have to add this to what Matt talked about.
00:44:01.500
The drug company's best data shows an 11% difference between placebo and the actual drug.
00:44:07.700
Yeah, I think I alluded to that yesterday when we were talking about this, but it's important to emphasize as you do.
00:44:14.740
Um, many of the clinical studies of antidepressants are basically bunk because they weren't actually double blind studies like we talked about.
00:44:21.640
But even if we ignore that and we pretend that the methodology was sound, which it wasn't,
00:44:27.200
we're still left with the fact that the difference between the placebo and the drug was negligible.
00:44:34.900
Uh, so it's pretty clear that at a minimum, if these drugs work at all, which is highly debatable,
00:44:43.200
they mostly work through the power of suggestion.
00:44:47.540
So it's, it's not much different from, you know, a hypnotist.
00:44:56.420
So there've been, speaking of studies, there've been a million studies that have showed this and you don't even need studies.
00:45:01.540
I mean, your, your experience being a person and being around people tells you that people are highly suggestible.
00:45:07.260
And so, uh, and especially when you're dealing with emotions, you're dealing with feelings.
00:45:14.900
Well, yeah, there's a certain number of people that if you give them a drug and you tell them this is going to make you feel better,
00:45:25.080
It's it, we do this with children all the time.
00:45:28.020
Um, it's like, uh, you know, my five-year-old daughter bumps her elbow and is crying.
00:45:40.300
Even though the Band-Aid's not going to do anything, obviously, it doesn't actually make you feel better.
00:45:44.040
But you give the Band-Aid to the little kid and they immediately feel better.
00:45:47.960
Because they've been told that, that, or at least they, they believe, uh, that this is, this is kids love Band-Aids.
00:45:56.080
And so Band-Aids are, they, they see the Band-Aids as these magical, not just as great fashion accessories,
00:46:02.100
which is how kids see them, but also as these, as something that actually makes the thing feel better.
00:46:06.840
So you give the Band-Aid and they feel better because you told them that they would.
00:46:10.840
And, um, and, uh, am I suggesting that adult medical patients are like children in this regard?
00:46:27.660
We are all subject to the placebo effects in many different areas of life.
00:46:31.900
It's, it's just, and it's not, it doesn't mean that you're a gullible idiot.
00:46:35.820
It just, actually, it's, it's kind of the opposite.
00:46:37.960
It's your mind, it, it just tells you how powerful your mind is.
00:46:43.400
Um, so, uh, that, that is obviously going on with a, at least a certain number of these SSRI cases where someone says,
00:46:58.020
Um, you know, you, you, you felt better because you were told that you would.
00:47:04.120
So how much of it, so that, so then that's what you're left with.
00:47:08.000
You're left with, uh, well, we've got these studies, uh, they're only valid.
00:47:12.920
They can only hope to be valid if they're double blind studies, but they're actually not for the reasons we talked about yesterday.
00:47:18.160
And so some of the results are because of the, it's the, the, the, of breaking blind.
00:47:23.120
And, and then you also have the placebo effect kicking in.
00:47:28.420
And so what percentage, when you do the study and someone takes the, actually takes the SSRI and feels better,
00:47:37.780
what percent of them actually feel better and feel better because of what is happening,
00:47:44.860
happening chemically in their brain from the drug and not because of the placebo effect?
00:47:52.300
And, um, and yet they give these drugs out anyway.
00:47:59.740
By Matt's reasoning, any woman that ever miscarried, where the woman's body automatically actively discards the embryo,
00:48:05.140
that makes her a murderer because her body killed the embryo.
00:48:09.880
This is the dumbest argument that I hear all the time.
00:48:12.620
If we're talking about IVF or we're talking about abortion or anything like that, you always hear this.
00:48:22.820
It's kind of mind-blowing that this, that this, it's, it's not just one person who makes this dumb argument.
00:48:28.300
So there's, like, a lot of people out there who think this is a compelling, uh, you know, rebuttal.
00:48:34.360
No, there's an obvious difference with a miscarriage.
00:48:39.340
I mean, it's, this is something that happens naturally.
00:48:41.660
This is like if I said that it should be illegal to kill your four-year-old child, which it is,
00:48:49.200
and then you said, well, that would mean that if a four-year-old child dies of cancer, we have to put the parents in jail.
00:49:07.160
Um, we intentionally breed, eat, and discard pigs, cows, chickens, et cetera.
00:49:11.660
Your don't-kill-puppies argument doesn't really make sense.
00:49:13.900
They're all living creatures, and this is coming from a meathead.
00:49:16.120
IVF is definitely not the hill you want to die on.
00:49:18.580
Yeah, you're talking about factory farming, which most people find ethically problematic.
00:49:22.220
I mean, we do it, but a lot of people object to exactly the scenario you just laid out, even though it does happen all the time.
00:49:29.160
Um, and yet, most of the people who object to something like factory farming have no issue with IVF, which is a kind of factory farming of human embryos.
00:49:39.580
I mean, that's the way that it works, uh, in the vast majority of cases.
00:49:44.140
That's how the industry operates, and that's my whole point.
00:49:47.760
And as for it not being the hill I want to die on, um, I think that maybe you've noticed at this point that I'll pick whatever hills I want, and, uh, I really don't care who else is on the hill with me.
00:49:58.980
So this is not a compelling—here's another rebuttal that is just not compelling to me.
00:50:03.260
That's not a—you really want to die on this hill?
00:50:08.000
Uh, we talked about IVF yesterday, and the vast majority of the comments were, um, the vast majority of the comments on the topic were disagreeing with me rather stridently.
00:50:24.560
Uh, I understand that my position on this is—puts me in a minority.
00:50:32.520
I'm going to tell you what it is, and I'm going to tell you why I have it.
00:50:35.740
If you were with us for election night or the inauguration, you already know the Daily Wire doesn't just show up, we take over.
00:50:41.440
And now we're headed back to D.C. to do just that at CPAC.
00:50:44.160
Join me along with Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Andrew Klavan, and Jeremy Boring all on stage live tonight, February 20th.
00:51:05.740
No scripted talking points, no corporate-approved narratives, just real conversations that actually matter streaming live on Daily Wire+.
00:51:22.340
And we're also taking your questions, so don't just watch CPAC and be a part of it live tonight on Daily Wire+.
00:51:59.860
So a woman says that her husband has planned a guy's trip with their 13-year-old son, John, and his nephew, Michael, whose mother, the husband's sister, is a single mom.
00:52:10.320
And their 11-year-old daughter, Kelsey, is upset about being excluded.
00:52:17.620
My husband has been talking about planning a guy's trip this summer with him, Michael, and John.
00:52:24.920
While my husband was discussing with John, I could see Kelsey looking visibly sad because she wasn't included.
00:52:30.540
Later, I told my husband that Kelsey should go too and that there's no reason to exclude her.
00:52:34.400
He said he just wants some guy time with him, his son, and nephew, and that men need to, quote, have their time away from women.
00:52:41.680
I took offense to that comment, which led to an argument.
00:52:45.720
Otherwise, I will not approve of the money being taken out of our family vacation budget to exclude some of our family.
00:52:52.120
Now, in a follow-up post, she said that she relented and granted her husband permission to go on a trip.
00:52:57.140
Because apparently, this is the kind of family where the husband needs permission from his wife to take his son on a trip.
00:53:05.220
And now the daughter, Kelsey, is very upset, has withdrawn from her dad, and doesn't want to be around him.
00:53:09.660
The husband offered to take Kelsey on a separate trip, just the two of them.
00:53:15.560
The wife, the one who brought this quandary to Reddit looking for guidance, has refused to help the husband repair the situation with the daughter.
00:53:23.240
She says it's his fault for hurting her so badly by excluding her from the guy's trip.
00:53:28.800
My husband tried to cheer her up by telling her he would plan something really cool with just the two of them.
00:53:32.660
But our daughter told him that she didn't want to do anything.
00:53:34.600
A couple days later, my daughter needed to be picked up early from school for a dentist appointment.
00:53:40.080
But she texted me asking, please, Mom, can you pick me up and bring me?
00:53:43.240
My daughter also has been getting the school bus in the morning instead of catching a ride with my husband and son, which she typically does.
00:53:48.900
Now my husband's been complaining to me about our daughter, saying he's done everything to make it up to her.
00:53:54.000
I told him she would be hurt by excluding her from the trip.
00:53:57.580
And it's entirely his fault that she's icing him out.
00:54:00.640
He says we should work together and fix this because we're a team.
00:54:09.740
And now she wants to know if she is the a-hole.
00:54:13.340
Now the answer, as I'll explain, is definitely 100% yes.
00:54:17.100
But most of the feedback is telling her what she wants to hear, which is that she's right.
00:54:20.840
And that is, after all, the only reason why people bring their personal problems to the Internet.
00:54:26.120
They don't want to know if they're right or wrong.
00:54:29.140
They want to be told they're right so that they can convince themselves that they're right.
00:54:33.460
And the only reason they need to convince themselves is that they recognize deep down that they're wrong.
00:54:37.940
But that's not what the feminists on X are saying.
00:54:42.060
The Reddit post was shared to the platform by a somewhat large feminist account with the caption, quote,
00:54:48.560
He's already shown his daughter what he thinks of her.
00:54:51.100
And a whole bunch of comments, almost all of them from women, are piling on,
00:54:54.120
saying the dad is sexist and selfish and cruel and has irreparably broken his relationship with his daughter and so on.
00:55:02.460
And although this is just a dumb post on Reddit, the post, along with the reaction to it,
00:55:06.880
reveals in microcosm why so many marriages fail in our culture.
00:55:11.980
The husband, though I'm sure he has made his share of mistakes in his life and in their marriage,
00:55:16.780
does not appear to have done anything wrong in this situation.
00:55:20.460
Indeed, the wife is presenting a version of events that is as favorable as possible to herself,
00:55:27.240
Which tells me that if we got the husband's side of the story,
00:55:31.600
we discover that she's even more wrong than she appears.
00:55:35.160
So the full severity and depth of her wrongness, we don't really know and we'll probably never know,
00:55:39.580
but we do know that she's wrong for at least two reasons.
00:55:42.360
And these are things that lots of married couples get wrong these days,
00:55:46.780
And the first is this, that she's not on her husband's side.
00:55:51.060
She's not presenting a united front to her children.
00:55:55.260
I mean, it's pretty clear that the daughter's anger at her dad is being fueled by her mom.
00:56:00.660
It's normal for an 11-year-old girl to be disappointed that she can't go on a trip.
00:56:03.800
It's not normal for this disappointment to turn into a festering resentment that lasts for days or weeks.
00:56:10.500
Kids of that age get over stuff pretty quickly.
00:56:13.120
And if they aren't getting over it, it's because somebody, the mom in this case, doesn't want them to.
00:56:19.140
She's very clearly using her child as a cudgel to punish her husband.
00:56:22.560
This is one of the hallmarks of an unhealthy marriage.
00:56:26.360
In a healthy marriage, husband and wife will disagree about plenty of things,
00:56:30.920
but the children shouldn't know that they disagree.
00:56:35.180
And they certainly shouldn't be in the middle of it.
00:56:38.500
A wife should never want her husband to look bad in front of the kids,
00:56:43.900
It is absolutely her job as the wife to defend her husband to the daughter
00:56:48.960
and to do her best to help heal that relationship.
00:56:55.800
You should want everyone to have a high opinion of your spouse, especially your kids.
00:57:00.360
You should be defending them always and on their side always,
00:57:08.440
If the wife thinks that the husband should take the daughter on the trip,
00:57:15.380
But then when the daughter comes and complains to her about it, she should say,
00:57:19.760
well, listen, honey, your father wants to do a boy's trip.
00:57:22.680
I know you're disappointed, but we're not going to let you ruin their time or make this about you.
00:57:26.940
And I'll take you to do something fun while they're on their trip.
00:57:29.380
So she may disagree in private, but to her daughter, she should be on her husband's side.
00:57:39.680
If you want your marriage to last anyway, that's how it should work.
00:57:44.380
And second, it is important for fathers to have time with just their sons without any girls around.
00:57:54.080
And there are some women that get offended by this, but it's like you can be offended.
00:57:58.780
But yes, it is important for men and for boys to have time without any girls around.
00:58:05.800
The husband tried to explain this to the wife, but it apparently offended her of feminist sensibilities.
00:58:16.980
Now, as a woman, she may not fully understand why guys need guy time.
00:58:26.600
She's saying, well, I was offended that you said that.
00:58:32.680
This is your husband explaining to you something that men need and that boys need.
00:58:38.740
And so your responsibility is just to listen because you don't understand.
00:58:44.200
And since you're not a guy and you don't understand it, you should be humble and just take your husband's
00:58:49.780
He's more of an authority on what boys need than you are.
00:58:55.860
Now, instead, she became indignant and declared that because she doesn't personally see why
00:59:00.380
male bonding is so important, they shouldn't get any male bonding time.
00:59:04.300
This is the exact mentality, which is why it annoys me so much.
00:59:07.060
It's the exact mentality that has destroyed most opportunities for male bonding in our culture
00:59:16.840
Because women like this wife show up and declare, well, I don't see why this should only be a place
00:59:24.840
Actually, this thing that used to be for men and about men should be about me.
00:59:31.040
Now, I have the good fortune to not be married to a woman like that.
00:59:36.520
So my wife never objects when I take my sons on our annual boys trip, which is a tradition
00:59:46.320
And because my wife is understanding, so are my daughters.
00:59:55.520
Well, just in the fact I have an 11-year-old daughter.
01:00:02.000
She's not in a snit for days because we're going on a trip.
01:00:06.500
I take my boys somewhere for a few days, and we fish, and we cook meat over a fire, and
01:00:12.480
And then my wife will take the girls to do something girly.
01:00:22.180
It is crucial for boys to have time with just their dads.
01:00:28.400
And you might be in a situation financially where you can't afford to go on a whole trip
01:00:36.420
But you still, as a father, need to find time with just your sons.
01:00:42.540
It is a critical part, again, of a boy's formation.
01:00:47.740
The other thing is that guys also relate to each other differently when there are no girls
01:00:57.280
Our annual boy's trip usually lasts just like three or four days.
01:01:01.240
And I find that by the second day, my boys will start to open up, and they'll talk about
01:01:10.560
For example, during the last two trips, we've discussed at some length what the boys want
01:01:16.740
And those are conversations that we can obviously have at the house, and we have had them many
01:01:20.240
times, but on the boys' trip, when it's just the guys, they tend to talk much longer, and
01:01:27.280
They reveal kind of what their real dreams and aspirations are.
01:01:31.460
And they love their sisters, but when their sisters are around, they feel much more kind
01:01:35.020
of embarrassed displaying that kind of vulnerability.
01:01:38.920
Again, if you are a woman, you may not understand this.
01:01:45.700
So hopefully, even as a woman, you would understand this concept that guys need guide time and all
01:01:51.640
There are obviously women who don't understand it.
01:01:56.420
So all you can do then is listen to men when they tell you what men need and want, and
01:02:01.820
especially what boys need so they can grow into strong, masculine men.
01:02:08.920
This is one of the reasons why so many boys are lost, is that women, you have women like this
01:02:14.020
wife and so many feminists who think they know everything, and they think they know, they
01:02:18.920
think they're the authorities on how to raise boys and what boys need, and they refuse to
01:02:23.240
just listen even one time to men when men tell them, no, this is what, I was a boy growing
01:02:35.320
I know how, for feminists, I know how offensive and outrageous that is to ever be told that,
01:02:40.440
you know what, this is actually a topic where you don't know as much as men do, so maybe
01:02:45.660
I know they'll never, they never want to hear that.
01:02:48.700
Well, how could you ever say that there are things I don't, yeah, well, you know what,
01:02:56.780
When women react this way, it's like, and men see this, they're like, well, yeah, this
01:03:04.920
Um, and, and by the way, men will defer to women about womanly things, which also, by
01:03:15.500
the way, is why nobody ever objects to girls having a girl's night or a girl's trip.
01:03:21.840
It would not be controversial for a mom to take her daughter out to the salon and exclude
01:03:26.800
her sons from the outing, which is something that my, my wife does, does with the girls
01:03:32.100
sometimes, even when we're on the boy's trip, she will, but sometimes she'll, they went
01:03:35.420
out recently, they went to, um, tea time somewhere.
01:03:38.900
They went out with, for tea and it's like, we didn't even, it didn't even need to be a
01:03:43.660
whole like family discussion where we prepared the boys for it and all this kind of stuff.
01:03:49.300
They're going out to do a girl thing and, uh, and, and that's it.
01:03:55.160
I want the girls to have that time with their mom and women are allowed to have that kind
01:04:00.180
And they're allowed to have their outings, their excursions, their spaces.
01:04:04.200
Men in our society now might try to intrude in women's spaces by pretending to be women.
01:04:11.080
Fortunately, we're having a lot of success pushing back against that kind of insanity.
01:04:14.660
Aside from the trans stuff, everybody acknowledges the need for female spaces.
01:04:20.660
It only becomes controversial when men want the same, which is why, as someone pointed out
01:04:36.580
And that tells you everything you need to know about the gender dynamics in our culture.
01:04:41.540
The girls can have their time and their stuff and their events and all that.
01:04:52.000
They need their time and they need their space, too.
01:04:54.420
And if you are the mother of sons, you need to acknowledge that and respect it.
01:04:59.600
And if you don't, then you are today, I'm afraid to say, canceled.
