The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1583 - The Left Uncovers The Sinister Conspiracy Pushing Women To Be Healthy And Happy

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the media has discovered a nefarious right-wing plot to

00:00:03.900 encourage women to be thin and fertile. We'll get into the details of this sinister conspiracy. 0.83

00:00:09.540 Also, Facebook officially ends its ban on misgendering. A list of the dirtiest, grossest

00:00:14.600 cities has been released. Unsurprisingly, they're all run by Democrats. And an embarrassing scandal

00:00:19.120 involving sports commentator Shannon Sharp proves again why you should just get married.

00:00:23.720 All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:30.000 With everything that's happening in the economy, it feels like we're all walking on shaky ground.

00:00:55.740 Prices are stuck at a really high level and it seems like nothing is affordable anymore.

00:00:59.480 It's no wonder many are relying on credit cards to cover the gaps. Credit card debt is skyrocketing

00:01:04.460 and it's leaving a lot of people stressed out. If you're a homeowner, you don't have to face this

00:01:09.260 uncertainty alone. My friends at American Financing can help you take control. They can help you access

00:01:47.480 Now, normally, I don't consider myself much of a trendsetter, especially when it comes to the

00:01:53.220 online discourse among middle-aged, cosmopolitan, liberal women. To the extent that these people

00:01:58.920 talk about me at all, it's usually to call me a misogynist or to praise my brief appearance on

00:02:03.840 Dancing with the Stars. In any event, on a typical day, they certainly aren't reading my social media

00:02:08.460 feeds and watching my podcast in order to pick up new lingo. We can be certain of that much, or at least

00:02:14.020 I thought. So, I was more than a little surprised to see an article that was just published by The

00:02:18.620 Guardian entitled, Now Comes the Womanosphere, the Anti-Feminist Media Telling Women to be Thin,

00:02:25.140 Fertile, and Republican. According to this article, the Womanosphere is, quote,

00:02:30.100 an organized effort to create an alternative right-wing media ecosystem targeting young

00:02:34.700 female U.S. audiences, one of the few demographics that has until now lean substantially democratic. 0.97

00:02:39.420 This new Womanosphere includes Brett Cooper's channel, as well as lifestyle magazines like 0.99

00:02:44.600 The Conservator and Evie, Candace Owens' Club Candace, Alex Clark's Maha, Make American Healthy

00:02:50.600 Again, talk show cultural apothecary, conservative Christian influencer Allie Beth Stuckey's Relatable, 0.99

00:02:57.960 and swimmer-turned-anti-transgender activist Riley Gaines' podcast, Gaines for Girls, close quote.

00:03:03.160 Now, before we get into the substance of this article, such as it is, I need to pull up something I wrote.

00:03:08.980 Quote, online a few weeks ago, and here's what I said at the time, quote,

00:03:13.780 we hear a lot about the Manosphere. I think it's time we start talking about the Womanosphere and

00:03:18.640 the corrosive effect that these shrill, toxic feminist influencers are having on the minds of 1.00

00:03:23.500 young women and their marriages. That was from my podcast, also was a piece on Daily Wire.

00:03:28.380 So there you have it. Long before The Guardian demanded that everyone talk about the Womanosphere,

00:03:33.340 I was demanding a public conversation about the Womanosphere. All they did was add an O in the 1.00

00:03:38.480 middle to change Womanosphere to Womanosphere. I like my version better. It flows a little bit

00:03:43.500 better. And then they completely changed the meaning of the word as I was using it. To me,

00:03:47.680 the Womanosphere are the anti-man, bitter feminists on TikTok. And to them, the Womanosphere is a 1.00

00:03:54.480 collection of the most normal and pleasant women you'll ever meet. And of course, the other problem

00:03:59.660 is that no one at The Guardian even knows what the word woman means, of course. But other than that,

00:04:05.080 you can't deny the striking similarity between these two made-up words. If The Guardian actually

00:04:09.280 made any money, this is the part where I'd start demanding royalties. But in this case,

00:04:13.280 I'll let it slide. As the old saying goes, great minds think alike. And the not-so-great minds just

00:04:18.440 steal everything and pass it off as their own. But I don't want to dwell on how much money The Guardian

00:04:22.880 owes me, even though it's obviously substantial. The bigger issue with the article, as with everything

00:04:28.080 else published by The Guardian, is the content. And the tone for this particular hit piece is set

00:04:35.480 right in the headline. We're supposed to see the right-wing womanosphere as somehow nefarious and

00:04:41.060 sinister because it encourages women to be thin and fertile, as The Guardian puts it. These two words,

00:04:47.880 thin and fertile, are like kryptonite to the staff of The Guardian, apparently. Now, you might observe that

00:04:53.920 words like thin and fertile are just ways of describing someone as healthy. And it's like,

00:05:01.360 if you're a woman of childbearing age, there's like two things that you should be, right? Unless 0.95

00:05:06.840 something has gone wrong or you're unhealthy. And you might wonder why, you know, wonder what's so bad

00:05:12.980 about the womanosphere encouraging women to be thin, fertile, and healthy. But all you'll get from The 0.90

00:05:18.520 Guardian is this paragraph, quote, the type of women these commentators valorize is thin, straight, 1.00

00:05:24.720 fertile, traditionally feminine, conventionally attractive to men, and white. Though they tried 0.88

00:05:30.880 to avoid overt racism, anyone who falls outside of this narrow mold is subject to relentless mocking

00:05:37.640 and disparagement, close quote. Now, just to be entirely clear here, the narrow mold that The Guardian

00:05:46.460 is complaining about is simply being healthy, feminine, and attractive to men. They do add that

00:05:53.560 you have to be white as well, but they contradict themselves in the same breath because one of the

00:05:57.260 commentators they attack in the hit piece is Candace, who, last I checked, is not white. 1.00

00:06:01.380 So all we're left with is the narrow lane, the narrow lane that literally billions of women through all of 1.00

00:06:09.220 human history have fit through. You know, that's the virtually impossible standard that you have to

00:06:16.280 meet. If you don't want to be relentlessly mocked and disparaged by the online womanosphere, the impossible 1.00

00:06:23.140 standard is the standard that billions and billions of women have already, like, lived up to without even 1.00

00:06:30.780 trying. Now, we all know why The Guardian believes that only a small subset of the female population can

00:06:37.760 qualify as healthy. For one thing, they believe that men can become women. So that probably skews their

00:06:43.500 perspective a little bit, given that trans-identifying males aren't usually paragons of

00:06:47.700 physical fitness. And additionally, it's long been established that left-leaning individuals,

00:06:52.060 wherever they are in the world, tend to be less healthy. I mean, not too long ago, there was a study

00:06:56.640 from researchers at Harvard and Columbia, which found that, quote, findings from cross-sectional studies

00:07:01.320 conducted in Japan and Europe have reported that individuals expressing a conservative ideology as

00:07:06.080 compared to liberal ideology tend to report better self-rated health. In the USA, it has been reported

00:07:11.160 that Republicans are less likely to report poor health in comparison to Democrats. Now, these

00:07:17.120 findings shouldn't surprise us because an ideology that doesn't care about personal responsibility

00:07:21.580 is not going to have the healthiest followers. The only people who are surprised, apparently,

00:07:27.560 are the writers of The Guardian. But in their confusion, they do manage to hint at one point that I think is

00:07:33.680 worth thinking about, which is this, that the left has decided to give the right a monopoly on advocating

00:07:41.200 for healthy lifestyles. You know, it is true that if someone in this country these days promotes health,

00:07:50.640 fitness, marriage, family life, you know, any of these normal healthy things, then we can assume that

00:07:57.440 they're probably conservative. All of that has become right-wing coded. But that's only because

00:08:03.600 the left has gone to war against everything healthy and normal. You know, the right is not dominating

00:08:08.680 this issue because they're mind-controlling women or something. They're dominating the issue because 1.00

00:08:13.180 the left has abandoned it. Not just abandoned it, but militated against it. As this article continues,

00:08:19.320 The Guardian doubles down on its attempt to make being healthy sound like an act of terrorism.

00:08:24.580 At one point, they quote a piece from Evie, and then they have a coronary over it. So here's the line

00:08:29.840 from Evie followed by The Guardian's meltdown. Quote, our reproductive organs are made for just 1.00

00:08:34.900 that, creating new life, not warding off sperm and altering our insides to make conception close

00:08:39.380 to impossible. Read a recent Evie piece. Though some young women may recoil when conservative men like

00:08:46.180 J.D. Vance and Elon Musk opine on birth rates and fertility, outlets like Evie are able to repackage 0.99

00:08:51.420 a similar message in a more approachable way. Maggie Bullock, a women's magazine veteran who co-writes

00:08:57.120 the spread, a newsletter about the industry, said that she saw outlets like Evie as trying to be

00:09:02.080 something of a gateway drug into more extreme conservative ideologies. Like, we're pretty

00:09:07.100 nice, and we're pretty, and we're not that radical. Don't worry. We're just telling you the truth,

00:09:11.800 she said. It feels like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Yes, these are the women who are saying,

00:09:18.220 like, it's okay to have babies. They're the wolves in sheep's clothing. So here we have Evie

00:09:24.940 magazine stating that women's reproductive organs are intended for reproduction, and the Guardian

00:09:30.660 devotes about a thousand words to declaring how outrageous that statement is, even though it's

00:09:34.720 probably the least controversial thing that anyone can say in the English language. They even bring

00:09:39.480 in an alleged expert, a women's magazine veteran, to establish that Evie magazine is a gateway drug

00:09:45.700 to extremism because they don't think women should sterilize themselves. Now, what's especially amusing 1.00

00:09:51.040 about the accusations that this article makes against Brett Cooper, Riley Gaines, Candace Owens,

00:09:55.700 Allie Bestucki, Alex Clark, and others is that, first of all, the article, again, wants us to see

00:10:01.700 these women as this dark and sinister force, but as someone who knows all of them, Allie I've known for

00:10:06.920 years, Riley I've met a few times, I went on Alex's show a few months ago, Brett and Candace are both

00:10:11.580 friends, and they're some of the nicest, most cheerful people you'll ever meet. The article uses

00:10:17.940 the word scary to describe them, which is just hilarious from my vantage point or the vantage

00:10:24.440 point of anyone who's watched any of their shows, although I will say that Alex forced me to drink

00:10:29.240 raw milk when I was on her show, and that was deeply disturbing and also injurious to my health,

00:10:35.640 I still maintain. But aside from that, it was not a very scary experience until the milk came out.

00:10:41.580 The other thing is that all of them, of course, have jobs, and yet The Guardian concludes that all

00:10:47.080 of these women in reality want women to be nothing but submissive homemakers, quote-unquote, 0.95

00:10:52.120 who never leave the home for any reason, I guess. Quote, while the women behind these outlets all have 1.00

00:10:56.640 different styles and tactics, they are mostly aligned in their desire to return to a gender 0.92

00:11:01.300 essentialist worldview, women as submissive homemakers, men as strong providers. Now, first of all, 0.97

00:11:06.580 anytime you hear a phrase like gender essentialist being used unironically, you can immediately stop

00:11:14.820 paying attention to the person who says it. The term is nonsense because everyone in a sane world

00:11:20.100 is a gender essentialist. Everyone understands, everyone should understand, that gender is an

00:11:27.380 essential concept, or at least sex is, and they use the term interchangeably. This is an essential

00:11:33.720 concept because it's what allows human beings to reproduce. It also dramatically affects human

00:11:37.800 behavior in every significant way. So if somebody calls you a gender essentialist, the appropriate 0.99

00:11:42.960 response is, yeah. And by the way, the left is also gender essentialist, albeit in a completely

00:11:49.320 demented way. They don't understand the concept, but they certainly obsess over it, as you may have

00:11:55.600 noticed. They take their fake genders extremely seriously over there. It is an essential concept in 1.00

00:12:01.480 their worldview, just in a very confused way. And the other irony here is that it's the Guardian

00:12:07.420 that wants these women, like Brett and Candace, to be silent, apparently. They've written a gigantic

00:12:13.920 article about how all these women should, I guess, shut up and stop expressing their views. 1.00

00:12:18.680 Apparently, they can't grasp the idea that, as I've said many times, different people can choose to do

00:12:23.180 different things. I've gone on record many times saying that, in general, women should prioritize 0.99

00:12:27.900 raising families. Men should prioritize providing for their families. That's the system that's been 0.98

00:12:32.560 in place for thousands of years. It works pretty well. That doesn't mean that women should never have 0.99

00:12:37.200 jobs under any circumstances. And obviously, all of the women that the Guardian is attacking in this 0.88

00:12:41.640 article would agree with that statement because they all have lucrative careers of their own.

00:12:47.400 And we could go on for the next hour, you know, picking apart the article, but it's honestly not worth

00:12:52.620 the time. It is worth noticing, though, one aspect of this issue that the Guardian doesn't talk about

00:13:00.600 and that, you know, this side, the feminist side, never talks about. Throughout all of this angst and

00:13:08.000 misdirected, incoherent frustration, the one thing the Guardian doesn't do is grapple with the fact that

00:13:15.240 the alternative, you know, the alternative to the woman-o-sphere has already been tried and it has 0.79

00:13:23.000 completely and utterly failed. The alternative to the quote-unquote narrow lane espoused by Brett

00:13:30.160 Candace and company is the lane of left-wing secular feminism where women find their purpose in the 1.00

00:13:37.780 workplace and either reject family and marriage altogether or place it second in importance to the

00:13:42.980 pursuit of professional success. It's the lane where a woman doesn't submit to her husband but 0.99

00:13:48.040 instead submits to her employer, who, as it happens, is often also a man. It's the lane where a woman is 0.98

00:13:54.180 so committed to her independence and to her supposed autonomy that she will purchase it with the blood of 0.70

00:14:00.720 her own children, which is the whole point of abortion. Now, we've tried this approach, the feminist 1.00

00:14:06.060 approach for a few generations. It is actually the new thing. It is the trendy thing, the narrow thing.

00:14:16.400 And, well, how has it worked out? We don't need to speculate. I mean, we've got two basically,

00:14:23.020 you know, we've got two approaches here, broadly speaking, and they've both been tried. We can take

00:14:29.460 a look at them and see how they've worked out. So how has feminism worked out? Divorce rates have 1.00

00:14:36.280 skyrocketed. The institution of the family is in shambles. And by all available metrics, including

00:14:42.280 the prevalence of antidepressants, women and men are miserable. Here's just one indicator. For more

00:14:48.880 than 20 years, Gallup has asked women if they're happy with how they're being treated by society, 0.67

00:14:53.880 whatever that means exactly. And in 2022, Gallup recorded the lowest level of satisfaction among women

00:14:59.380 since they began asking the question. Yes, after all the alleged advancements in women's rights 0.99

00:15:05.460 over the last 20 years, women seem to believe that they're more oppressed than ever. But you don't

00:15:10.580 need to, you don't need Gallup to tell you that. You can either, you can, you know, either talk to

00:15:15.380 women who made the decision to enter the workforce, or you can go on TikTok. Every day, there's another 0.99

00:15:19.320 viral video of some young woman in tears because she went out into the working world and found it

00:15:25.300 horrifically dreary and depressing and demoralizing. I mean, that's a, that's a whole genre. We've talked

00:15:29.960 about it before on TikTok is women complaining about the fact that they have to work. Um, so we've seen 1.00

00:15:37.680 the alternative to women being thin and fertile and prioritizing their families. And it has been a 0.99

00:15:44.220 disaster. We got millions of broken homes, millions of dead children, and millions of extremely depressed,

00:15:50.800 but allegedly liberated women to show for it. Now the traditional approach has thousands of years of

00:15:58.580 success under its belt. The new approach crashed and burned 30 seconds after takeoff. The Guardian is

00:16:07.080 using the lame new womanosphere branding to suggest the opposite. They want to suggest that this is some 0.80

00:16:12.220 dangerous new trendy right-wing ideology, but it's not. It happens to be the ideology, the approach,

00:16:20.040 not even an ideology, the approach that clearly works best for everyone, including women. It's

00:16:24.540 the philosophy that built human civilization and maintained it and helped it to thrive for

00:16:29.860 millennia up until the last several decades. Now the Guardian might not know what women are or what 1.00

00:16:36.400 they want, but these women do. And the more the left mocks them for wanting to be healthy and to raise 0.86

00:16:41.680 families, the more I think women will turn away from leftism, just as so many men have. And so the only

00:16:48.160 women left supporting Democrats are men with wigs on. I mean, that's the Democrat Party's absolute 0.97

00:16:53.000 worst nightmare. And with every garbage article like this one, the nightmare for Democrats,

00:16:58.080 otherwise known as progress to the rest of us, is becoming more and more real by the day.

00:17:03.820 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:17:05.160 Have you checked your home title lately? Most homeowners never do, but with the growing amount

00:17:16.820 of digital scams targeting property owners, it's more important than ever. With modern technology,

00:17:22.140 criminals have found an alarming way to steal your home equity. They simply forge your signature on a

00:17:26.860 document, add a fake notary stamp, pay a small county fee, and just like that, your home title gets

00:17:32.380 transferred without your knowledge. Once they control your title, they can take out loans against

00:17:36.180 your equity or even sell your property entirely. The worst part, that you may not discover anything's

00:17:41.500 wrong until you receive an unexpected collection notice or a foreclosure letter. My producer Sean

00:18:24.020 Daily Wire reports Facebook's parent company, Meta, said that two posts that include misgendering,

00:18:29.060 quote-unquote, were not a violation of its policies in a case that appears to have involved

00:18:33.200 content from The Daily Wire. The social media giant's oversight board ruled that two posts

00:18:37.640 about trans-identifying males do not violate the company's hate speech rules. The oversight board

00:18:43.180 said in a statement, despite the intentionally provocative nature of the posts, which misgender

00:18:47.520 identifiable trans people in ways many would find offensive, the majority of the board found that

00:18:52.160 they related to matters of public concern and would not incite likely and imminent violence or

00:18:57.920 discrimination. Back in September, Meta's oversight board announced it was looking into two posts from

00:19:03.940 last year that involved videos of trans-identifying males. One of the posts appears to be a video

00:19:08.900 posted by Libs of TikTok on Instagram that shows an Oregon high school boy getting booed by the

00:19:13.680 crowd when he finished first place in the girls' 200-meter race. Here's a boy who thinks he's a girl.

00:19:19.700 Libs of TikTok captured the post. Around the same time, The Daily Wire posted the same video on Instagram

00:19:24.780 using male pronouns for the trans-identifying high schooler. And this apparently is the video that

00:19:30.860 they were looking into. So finally, it's been officially ruled after months of deliberation that

00:19:37.080 misgendering is not hate speech. And of course, misgendering is also not misgendering. What they

00:19:42.580 call misgendering is actually correct gendering. It's just gendering. But in any case, quote unquote,

00:19:49.760 misgendering is no longer hate speech, apparently on Facebook. This is, I guess, a new development

00:19:55.980 officially. Facebook is the first platform outside of X to officially say, as far as I know, that

00:20:01.940 they will no longer ban or censor you for so-called misgendering. But in reality, this is a shift that

00:20:11.040 started months ago. Every platform, as far as I know, maybe with the exception of TikTok,

00:20:16.060 has pulled back pretty significantly on the censorship campaign that it was waging against

00:20:22.880 basic biology. And soon, this will be a distant memory. Soon, people won't be able to believe that

00:20:30.900 it even happened. They won't be able to believe that in the 2017 to 2023 era or thereabouts,

00:20:40.940 every single major social media platform would not allow you to point out that a man in a dress is a 0.98

00:20:49.560 man. And it's one of several episodes over the past five or six years that nobody will want to

00:21:02.400 admit that they were a part of or that they supported. Now, we've talked a lot about the

00:21:06.940 collapse of the transagenda, the fact that gender ideology is losing, and it is. It still exists. 0.61

00:21:11.980 It's still a problem that needs to be dealt with. But it is losing. And this is probably the nail in

00:21:17.540 its coffin. The platform's making it legal, you know, to just speak honestly about the subject.

00:21:25.840 This is not what turns the tide, because they're making these changes in response to the tide turning.

00:21:33.380 But now that it has turned, and you're allowed to just be honest about the topic again,

00:21:39.020 the trans activists are even more screwed than they already were. Because this was always their 1.00

00:21:45.040 only hope. They cannot compete on a level playing field. They know that. They can't win or have any

00:21:50.340 hope of winning if the rules are not rigged in their favor. Because our position is so obviously

00:21:56.240 correct, so incontrovertible, so palpably, plainly true, that there's no way to compete with it,

00:22:03.040 except to just shut it down. They can only win the argument by not allowing the other side to make

00:22:09.400 an argument. And even in that case, as we've seen, they still didn't win. I mean, think about that.

00:22:16.280 There was a period of years when we weren't even allowed to make our arguments in most of these

00:22:21.680 public forums, and yet we still won the argument. We had tape over our mouths and two hands tied behind

00:22:29.780 our backs, and we still won the fight. And now the tape is mostly off, and at least one hand is free.

00:22:36.880 And so, you know, they're in big trouble. Postmillennial reports, a new study has revealed

00:22:43.920 that Baltimore, Maryland is the dirtiest city in the country. In determining the nation's dirtiest

00:22:49.120 cities, House Fresh reviewed 12.3 million sanitation-related complaints to 311 over the past year.

00:22:56.640 Cities that had over 250,000 residents were ranked based on the number of sanitation-related reports,

00:23:02.580 such as garbage waste and recycling, per 100,000 residents. And they came up with this list of the

00:23:08.400 dirtiest cities. So Baltimore is the dirtiest city. No big surprise there. Here's another thing that's

00:23:14.800 not a surprise. Let's go down the list of the dirtiest cities and see what they all have in common.

00:23:20.580 So we'll look at the city and then also who runs the city, and we'll see if we can notice any

00:23:26.580 patterns emerging. Baltimore, Maryland, number one, Mayor Brandon Scott, Democrat. Sacramento,

00:23:36.180 Mayor Daryl Steinberg, Democrat. Charlotte, Mayor V. Lyles, Democrat. Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass,

00:23:42.940 Democrat. Memphis, Mayor Paul Young, Democrat. Boston, Mayor Michelle Wu, Democrat. San Antonio,

00:23:48.820 Mayor Ron Nierenberg, Democrat. Chicago, Brandon Johnson, Democrat. Philadelphia, Jim Kenney,

00:23:54.160 Democrat. Houston, Sylvester Turner, Democrat. All down the list until we get to Las Vegas,

00:24:00.020 Carolyn Goodman, who's a Republican apparently. So of the 15 dirtiest cities, 14 are run by Democrats.

00:24:06.940 And what that tells us is that the Democrat Party fails at the most basic level of civilization.

00:24:18.560 And that's why I think this is like worth talking about for a moment. Because this is actually,

00:24:24.500 even before crime, before safety, this is the first step, the first thing, really, I think,

00:24:33.960 that distinguishes a first world nation from a third world nation. This is the first test of

00:24:40.220 several. Can you get your trash off the street? Waste management. Can you maintain some level

00:24:48.640 of sanitation? If you go to a third world country, this is the first thing you notice is that it's

00:24:55.380 dirty. Everything is filthy. They leave their trash strewn all over the place. You know, I mean,

00:25:01.400 the ancient Roman Empire 2,000 years ago figured out waste management. And yet there are modern

00:25:10.340 countries who have not figured it out. So this is the first test of civilization. What do you do with

00:25:17.580 your trash? Human beings create a lot of trash. They create a lot of waste. In spite of that,

00:25:24.980 can you have a bunch of humans living together and still keep the trash off the streets? Third world 1.00

00:25:32.520 countries fail this test. They all do. And it's one of the main things that makes them third world 1.00

00:25:36.780 countries, which is what tells you that third world countries will, most of them, always be third world 1.00

00:25:44.440 countries. They are, for the most part, I'm afraid to say, basically hopeless cases.

00:25:49.820 Because when it comes to the most basic things, they are literally thousands of years behind the

00:25:56.080 civilized world. But the tragic thing is that lots of American cities also are increasingly failing

00:26:01.660 this test. Because they have third world populations, thanks in part to mass migration, 0.87

00:26:06.500 and they have leadership that lacks the will or even the ability to maintain basic levels of

00:26:11.060 sanitation. And so everything is filthy. I mean, I'll never forget the first time I went back to Los

00:26:16.640 Angeles. I'd been there like 15 years ago and didn't go back for a while. And then I went back

00:26:20.340 for the first time maybe three or four years ago. And I'll never forget driving from the airport to

00:26:25.400 our hotel downtown and just driving past this sea of trash, just trash everywhere. And it reminded me

00:26:33.640 of driving through Kenya. It reminded me of our five or six hour car ride from Nairobi down to where the

00:26:41.040 Maasai tribe lives when we were filming What is a Woman? And we drive past town after town that had

00:26:46.320 these giant piles of garbage just sitting there in the middle of the town. And you know, traditionally

00:26:52.020 back in the, you go back to like the Middle Ages, and churches were always built in the middle of

00:26:58.820 the town. Each town was built up around a church, which served as the focal point, the literal centerpiece

00:27:04.600 of public life. And I remember thinking about that as I'm driving past all these towns, how instead of a

00:27:10.860 church at the center of the town, they had this temple of trash, this monument of garbage and waste.

00:27:17.280 And now a lot of American cities are exactly the same. And this to me is the number one thing that

00:27:23.760 makes city life these days incredibly unappealing. It's not even the crime primarily. I mean, that's

00:27:29.280 number two on the list. That's also important. And it's not the cost of living. It's the trash.

00:27:35.240 It's the garbage. It's how dirty and depressing it is, how bad it smells, just all of that.

00:27:39.820 How can you live that way? You have to be, to live that way, you have to be like spiritually broken.

00:27:49.740 You just have to be a spiritually, mentally broken down person to live among this filth, to just like

00:27:55.720 walk around every day and just see garbage and smell it. Human beings are not meant to live that way.

00:28:03.920 And it doesn't have to be that way. You know, you can have a highly populated city

00:28:08.800 that is also clean. There's plenty of examples in the world. Tokyo is famously a very clean city.

00:28:16.820 I've never been to it, but this is what you hear. It's a very clean city. How do they achieve that?

00:28:24.920 Well, for one thing, Tokyo is like 95% ethnically Japanese. So they're not importing third world 1.00

00:28:31.080 immigrants who have a culture of just throwing their trash on the ground. Also, you know, in Tokyo, 1.00

00:28:37.100 you can go to prison for five years for illegal dumping, for disposing of your trash improperly.

00:28:42.240 They even got rid of most of their trash cans, most of their public trash cans, and they just make

00:28:46.180 the residents bring their trash home with them. And then they put in place, you know, these

00:28:50.540 potentially very severe punishments and fines and even jail sentences for littering. And, but the

00:28:56.760 truth is that they could probably get rid of those penalties and they'd still be extremely clean

00:29:01.460 because that's their culture. They have a culture of cleanliness. Dumping trash on the ground,

00:29:07.380 throwing, you know, drinking a can of soda and just throwing it on the sidewalk is not something

00:29:13.420 that most Japanese people would ever do, even if they were allowed to do it. And, uh, there are 1.00

00:29:20.800 still places in America that are like that, you know, where there's a culture of cleanliness and

00:29:26.100 orderliness. They're rapidly vanishing, but they do exist. You know, I used to live in a small town

00:29:32.780 out in the country and I remember once at the gas station, we had one small gas station in the town

00:29:37.480 and I remember a trash can had somehow tipped over at the, I don't know if it, whatever,

00:29:42.940 it tipped over and it was like the trash was spilling on the ground. And like four different

00:29:46.880 people, the guy that works there and three other customers, myself included, went over immediately

00:29:51.340 to help clean the trash up. This, you know, just clean it up. And, um, they took the bag out and put

00:29:56.020 a new bag in. So it's a small thing, no great act of service, right? We're not heroes. But my point is

00:30:01.100 that in Baltimore, that's not happening. You know, in Baltimore, the trash spills over and everyone just

00:30:06.660 leaves it there. Certainly you're not going to get all customers at the gas station chipping in

00:30:11.460 unprompted to help clean up the mess. It's just not going to happen because it's a, it's a, it's

00:30:16.840 a culture of disorder. It's a culture of waste. It's a culture of, again, when you're in the city and

00:30:23.720 you, and you're, you're walking down and you see just some bag of trash or some, whatever piece of

00:30:28.440 litter on the sidewalk, that means obviously, right, that somebody was walking along and they just threw

00:30:33.700 the thing on the ground. Think about what kind of mentality it's like, it seems like such a, this

00:30:38.020 is why I'm at, even though I'm not much of an environmentalist, I am on this point when it comes

00:30:41.840 to littering, I'm like an extreme environmentalist when it comes to litter. I, I, I would, I honest

00:30:47.320 to God would be fine if we had five-year prison sentences for littering. Cause I, I think that that

00:30:53.180 behavior is so, it's such an attack on civilized society. It's, it's, it says so, it says so much

00:31:00.620 about you. It like tells me immediately that you are a person who we don't need living in, in, in 0.99

00:31:06.040 society, that you would drink something and throw it on the ground and just keep walking. I can't even

00:31:13.300 wrap my head around that. The total disregard for everybody else around you. Um, I'd be in favor of,

00:31:21.740 of ratchet up the penalties times a hundred for that. I'd be in favor of it. Um, you know,

00:31:30.380 even here in Nashville, I try, this is why you can't, you can't go to the, I love to fish. You

00:31:34.080 can't go fishing at a lot of the lakes here that are close to the city because you just find this

00:31:39.880 trash floating in the water. People, people, they just throw their trash, like a whole bags of trash.

00:31:44.880 It's like, uh, I was, I was at a, one of these lakes last year. It's a, a bag of a McDonald's

00:31:51.520 McDonald's bag float. Someone had McDonald's and threw it in the water. Okay.

00:31:56.900 How about 10 years in prison for that? I, I, I swear to you, I would support it. I don't

00:32:02.240 care who it is. Find whoever that was that threw that in there. 10 years in prison.

00:32:07.560 Um, but in some ways it's like you're, even if you tried to do that, you're fighting this

00:32:13.100 kind of losing battle because, um, you're in these communities that have a culture of,

00:32:17.960 uh, as I said, disorderliness and waste. All right. Uh, here's something not worth talking

00:32:26.280 about it all. Uh, Megan Markle sat down with time magazine to talk about how she introduces 0.99

00:32:33.600 little moments of magic into her life with flower sprinkles. And this is, I don't know,

00:32:40.320 it's pretty inspiring. Uh, I thought this was inspiring. It's like a good little, some,

00:32:45.260 some good advice is this is what she is now. She's a, she's a sage. She's a guru of sorts.

00:32:50.520 Well, I don't know what exactly she is. That's what I wanted to talk about. But first here's the,

00:32:53.800 the clip of Megan Markle giving some important life advice. All things to be talking about for

00:33:00.500 time 100. Let's talk about flower sprinkles. Um, but let's, because I think it speaks to

00:33:05.520 the tiny moments of joy that are so effortless and just create a little bit of magic that we're all

00:33:14.040 craving in our everyday. They're tiny little flower petals that are dried. I started putting

00:33:20.240 them on salads. I started putting them on scrambled eggs. It didn't actually matter on a yogurt parfait.

00:33:27.220 The level of charm that you find people have when they see these tiny little dried petals

00:33:33.600 is something I can't fully wrap my head around, but I appreciate that there is a love for the detail.

00:33:41.120 Uh, flower sprinkles. That's where it's at. And you know, if I had a dime for every time I've

00:33:47.480 sprinkled my food with some flower petals, I'd have no dimes at all. But if Megan wants you to do that, 0.99

00:33:54.580 that's fine. For me, the question with Megan Markle, she's actually kind of fascinating,

00:34:00.440 not fascinating in the way that she wants to be in the way that she tries to be, but in a different

00:34:05.040 sort of psychoanalytical way. Because to me, the question is, is what is Megan? Like, what is she

00:34:12.120 trying to be? Who does she think? Who does she think she is? Uh, it would be one thing if Megan 0.74

00:34:18.620 gave up the royal life, came back to America, started acting in movies or something, maybe started

00:34:26.000 a talk show on a network TV, uh, channel somewhere. And then you'd say, okay, well, she wants to be an

00:34:30.880 actor. She wants to be a TV star. That's not really it. She, she has, she has her various failed

00:34:35.240 Netflix shows or failed podcasts, but she doesn't seem committed to any of those paths specifically.

00:34:39.600 What she wants to be clearly is royalty. She wants to be the first American princess. She essentially 1.00

00:34:45.060 wants to have the job that the royal family has in the place that she dragged her husband away from. 0.99

00:34:49.680 But it doesn't work because as much as I might make fun of the royal family in the UK,

00:34:55.120 at least there's a history there. At least there's, it's rooted in a deep kind of ancient tradition.

00:35:00.880 We don't have that tradition here. So we're supposed to embrace Megan as our princess,

00:35:05.520 our royalty based on what? Based on, based on her winning personality, I guess.

00:35:10.360 Uh, there's a mystique that surrounds the royal family. There's no mystique with, with Megan

00:35:14.520 Markle. She's the most mystique less person. If that's even a word that I've ever seen. Now you can

00:35:21.640 have a job in this country of just being famous. I think those jobs are maybe a little bit harder to

00:35:27.900 come by now than they were at the peak of the reality TV show era. That's, you know,

00:35:33.580 that's what the Kardashians are or were. But if you want that job, if you want that job in this

00:35:39.040 country, you have to be willing to be a sideshow freak. You know, the Kardashians were glorified

00:35:44.320 circus clowns. The whole family is a freak show. So she could do that. Do some kind of reality show

00:35:50.760 where she debases herself and gives people something to gawk at. Um, that's how you become

00:35:56.380 royalty in this country, I guess. But it is interesting. It's an interesting case.

00:36:01.600 Megan Markle is a very boring person, but she's an interesting case. And I think the history books

00:36:05.420 will find her more interesting than we do because her story is tragic and fascinating that she rejected

00:36:10.620 a life of actual royalty in favor of, you know, seeking fame and admiration in the U.S.

00:36:17.320 and instead she was reviled and mocked and she's despised by basically everyone. 0.97

00:36:25.400 Is there, are there any Megan Markle fans? When's the last time you met someone who has a positive

00:36:31.040 view of her? This is one of the, one of the few bipartisan issues that still exists in this country

00:36:38.600 is Megan Markle that everybody hates her. Um, there, there, and even with, there are very few people

00:36:48.100 in this country that everybody can agree on, you know, on the other side too, there, there's like

00:36:55.780 almost nobody who's universally beloved anymore. I think Alex Trebek was probably the last one.

00:37:02.600 Alex Trebek was the last universally beloved person who was not quote unquote problematic

00:37:06.900 according to either side. And, uh, and he's dead. So there's, there's no one left.

00:37:13.500 All we have now, so we can't agree. We can't agree on, on who we admire, but we can agree

00:37:19.380 on hating certain people. That's the only place where we can find, we don't have universally admired,

00:37:26.160 but we do have universally reviled. And, uh, Megan Markle is one. It seems like Katy Perry is another one.

00:37:35.000 Interestingly enough. And so that's what she ended up with. She gave up the life of royalty and she 0.79

00:37:40.740 was, uh, ended up being universe, basically universally reviled and relegated to the C-list.

00:37:45.820 So that's, uh, it is, it's a, it's a, in a way it's a tragic story. Not that I'm shedding any tears

00:37:51.940 over. As Doge continues to surgically cut the fat from decades of bloated government spending and

00:37:57.540 corruption, Pure Talk, the cell phone company that I use for business is cutting the fat from the

00:39:02.880 President Zelensky. From U.S. aid and corruption to Putin's ambitions and the battle for religious

00:39:07.980 freedom, nothing was off limits. This isn't spin. This is clarity in the fog of war. Part two of the

00:39:13.720 Ben Shapiro-President Zelensky interview drops today, an all-new episode of The Ben Shapiro Show,

00:39:19.300 streaming now on Daily Wire Plus. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:39:28.660 If you don't spend much time following celebrity drama, then you are a healthy person and you should

00:39:34.500 be proud. It also means that you may not have heard about the controversy surrounding prominent

00:39:38.280 sports commentator and former NFL star Shannon Sharp. Shannon has, as of yesterday, stepped away

00:39:43.880 from his role on ESPN just a few days after a $50 million lawsuit was filed alleging sexual assault.

00:39:50.320 Now the allegations are coming from an OnlyFans model named, model in quotes, named Gabby, who also

00:39:58.220 apparently goes by Carly, but we'll just call her Gabby. Shannon has stridently denied any wrongdoing

00:40:03.420 and claimed that his relationship with Gabby was entirely consensual. But things took a turn,

00:40:07.600 took a turn earlier in the week when a phone call was released. And in the call, you can hear Shannon

00:40:13.240 threatening to choke this woman, Gabby. Listen. 1.00

00:40:19.320 I'm not really interested in getting choked, so I guess we're going.

00:40:28.500 Yeah. I might choke you in public. 0.99

00:40:40.880 Big black guy chose small white woman. 1.00

00:40:48.820 It's not a good look, Shannon.

00:40:51.520 Not a good look, bitch. You did what you did to me. 1.00

00:40:56.520 Okay. Now, Gabby is obviously recording the call. We don't know what was said earlier on the call or

00:41:03.320 before the call was made. She was clearly recording it for a reason, but even so, telling a woman that

00:41:08.980 you're going to choke her is very bad. It, you know, there's no, like, context that makes that okay.

00:41:14.600 It does not, however, prove that he's guilty of rape. Now, there is apparently some kind of

00:41:19.340 video, a sex tape, that Shannon's legal team has alluded to a few times. They claim that Gabby is 0.73

00:41:25.060 using this video to blackmail Shannon and that it's been taken out of context, possibly edited to make

00:41:29.600 the sexual encounter look non-consensual when it is, in fact, they say, consensual. And attempting to

00:41:35.520 get ahead of this, his team also released a collection of extremely graphic text messages sent

00:41:40.440 by Gabby to Shannon over the course of several months. And, you know, I can't read any of them

00:41:47.340 to you. Even if I could read them, I still wouldn't. They're very sexual. They are very graphic in

00:41:51.500 nature. Gabby repeatedly says that she wants to be abused, wants to be choked, and she wants to have 0.97

00:41:58.480 other things, unspeakable things done to her. Some of these texts were sent after the alleged rape

00:42:06.100 occurred. I think she alleged two incidents, and this was after one of them. Now, Shannon claims

00:42:13.440 that, you know, if he did, in fact, rape this woman, then she wouldn't be sending him graphic

00:42:19.200 texts weeks and months after the fact, saying, among other things, that she wants Shannon to put a,

00:42:25.540 quote, big black baby in her. So what's the truth here? Did Shannon Sharp rape this woman? I have

00:42:33.840 absolutely no idea. If I had to guess, if I was just guessing, I'd say probably not. I mean, assuming

00:42:42.300 that the texts are legitimate, it's hard to believe that a woman who was actually the victim of a

00:42:46.840 violent rape would be texting her rapist and begging for him to come back and violate her again. 1.00

00:42:53.720 Although it wouldn't shock me all that much if he was evil enough to do that awful thing, and if she

00:42:58.240 was twisted enough to start sexting with her rapist. So I have no idea. Now, you know, I cannot

00:43:03.180 personally reach a verdict on this allegation, and that's not my job to, so that's the good news.

00:43:08.900 All I know is that whatever happened, it was weird and bad and gross, and I wish I didn't know about

00:43:15.860 it, but I do, and now so do you. Now, this whole thing, of course, was very avoidable. You know,

00:43:23.880 false accusations can happen, and they're always terrible, assuming that these accusations are false,

00:43:28.200 which they may or may not be. But the fact is that, you know, a great many, not all, but a great

00:43:34.180 many false accusations and questionable accusations could have been very easily avoided. And here's how

00:43:43.880 you avoid them. Get married to one woman. Stay married to that woman. Have zero sexual encounters 1.00

00:43:53.740 outside of your marriage. In fact, don't even spend time alone in the same room as any woman who is not 1.00

00:43:59.840 your wife or a family member. When it comes to women of low character, such as one who, you know, 1.00

00:44:04.960 that you would find on OnlyFans, for example, don't have any interaction with them at all. Don't speak

00:44:11.280 to them. Don't befriend them. Don't text them. Don't call them. Don't have them in your life in any

00:44:18.320 capacity, period, at all. And, you know, it's not hard to put these boundaries up. These are the

00:44:23.760 boundaries that I live within, that many married men live within. It has not intruded on my life or

00:44:29.300 even caused the slightest inconvenience ever. It's very easy for a grown man to not get mixed up with

00:44:37.340 the Gabby's of the world. It's very easy to put yourself in a situation where Gabby could simply 0.94

00:44:43.000 never credibly accuse you of anything. Of course, anyone can accuse you of anything, but you'll have a much

00:44:48.160 easier time clearing your name if you can point out that you've never interacted with this person in

00:44:53.840 any capacity at any point in your entire life. Now, Shannon Sharp's story, though gross and embarrassing,

00:45:02.620 is in a way helpful because it demonstrates two things. And first of all, it reveals that there is

00:45:10.240 a risk of staying single. You know, we often hear about the risks of marriage, the risks like you can end

00:45:16.800 up divorced, you can lose half your stuff, you can lose custody of your children, if you're the man

00:45:22.920 anyway. And all of that can happen, of course. I mean, there are lots of things you can do to greatly

00:45:28.780 reduce your risk of winding up in that position, but it does happen. We all know that. And the fear of

00:45:34.960 that result is what leads some men to avoid marriage entirely. But as Shannon Sharp and many other men have

00:45:39.980 demonstrated, the other option is not without very significant dangers. I mean, unless you plan to be single

00:45:46.780 and also celibate for your whole life, then you'll be getting involved with a succession of women you don't

00:45:52.320 know and who don't love you or necessarily even care about you in the slightest. And that will make you

00:45:58.200 very vulnerable and susceptible. And same goes for the woman, of course, on the other side. There's vulnerability

00:46:03.840 and susceptibility and dangers of a different kind that perhaps if the allegations are true,

00:46:10.760 you know, this woman fell victim to. But either way, you know, it's, it's, this is the point that

00:46:15.940 there are, we talk about the dangers of getting married, dangers for men, dangers of women, for women,

00:46:22.580 many, many dangers, you know, involved in not getting married. Second, Shannon has shown us how pitiful

00:46:30.000 and sad, you know, this kind of lifestyle is, even if he isn't a rapist, even if he isn't,

00:46:36.580 he's still a pathetic, ridiculous man. I mean, Shannon Sharp is 56 years old. This woman would have 0.98

00:46:45.720 been, I guess, about 20 when this relationship, if you can call it that, started. So this is a 56-year-old

00:46:52.460 man, you know, hooking up at best with a 20-year-old OnlyFans prostitute. This is a man who,

00:47:00.380 at his age, you know, should be sitting at his house with his wife, watching his grandchildren

00:47:07.920 play, maybe having a beer with his adult son. But instead, he's wrapped up in an embarrassing,

00:47:14.480 disgraceful public feud with a 20-year-old girl. He should be reading his grandchildren a bedtime story.

00:47:20.920 Instead, he's reading us his sex messages with a chick from OnlyFans. And now he's been disgraced

00:47:27.240 and his career is destroyed. And when he dies, he'll be remembered mostly for this, not for anything

00:47:34.180 he did before it. And whether he's guilty or not, he brought all of that on himself.

00:47:41.380 And that is why he is today canceled. That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching.

00:47:47.840 Thanks for listening. Talk to you on Monday. Have a great weekend. Godspeed.
