00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the WNBA made it precisely one day into the season before its
00:00:04.360 first major and majorly fake racism controversy. Also, Republican Representative Nancy Mace makes
00:00:09.540 a splash by promising to release her nudes during a congressional hearing. Yes, that's real. And
00:00:14.240 Starbucks employees are protesting and walking out all across the country because of an oppressive
00:00:17.480 new company policy that requires them to wear a black t-shirt. We'll talk about all that and
00:00:22.340 more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:48.260 Every so often you hear about so-called uncontacted tribes. These are people who have never had any
00:01:53.440 interactions with the outside world. They're out in the middle of nowhere in places like the
00:01:57.080 Nicobar Islands and the Amazon rainforest. And they're obviously interesting to talk about as
00:02:01.940 evidenced by the millions of people who love watching documentaries and YouTube videos about
00:02:05.240 them. Of course, the reason that these tribes capture people's imagination is not because
00:02:08.460 there's anything especially desirable or admirable about their culture or their way of life. Instead,
00:02:13.660 they capture people's imagination because they offer a glimpse into a world that thankfully we
00:02:17.620 transcend it. They're fascinating because every now and then it's encouraging to look at
00:02:21.920 primitive people and think to ourselves, well, as bad as things are, at least we aren't
00:02:25.160 still living like that. We can use these tribes as an opportunity to reflect on all the human
00:02:29.620 progress that's occurred out here in civilization. Maybe no one wants to admit that that's the appeal
00:02:35.680 out loud, but that's true. And it's not just uncontacted tribes who fill this role in modern
00:02:40.020 society. They're maybe the most prominent example, but they're certainly not the only one.
00:02:44.120 In particular, in recent years, it's become pretty apparent that the organization known as
00:02:48.380 the WNBA serves a kind of a similar function. The WNBA very clearly is not a viable product from an
00:02:55.560 entertainment perspective. It loses tens of millions of dollars every year. There's never
00:02:59.880 really been a genuine business case for keeping the WNBA alive. Even with the historic level of 0.85
00:03:05.320 interest the public now has in the league over the last year, historic by WNBA standards, it's still
00:03:12.140 not a viable product because literally all of that interest is now focused on just one player,
00:03:16.760 Caitlin Clark. And yet with all that said, it's time to admit that the WNBA, despite all appearances,
00:03:22.360 isn't actually useless, at least not completely. Like the tribesmen who've never heard of things
00:03:26.400 like the telephone or electricity, the WNBA serves a purpose, albeit a very twisted one. In a sense,
00:03:32.160 it exists outside of time and space. It's a window into an alternate dimension where humans don't
00:03:37.960 respond to economic incentives or social pressure or value things like talent or competitiveness or
00:03:43.860 anything like that. The WNBA, because it's propped up by left-wing executives at the NBA who 1.00
00:03:48.720 inexplicably have no problem losing large amounts of money every year, is immune from the normal
00:03:55.240 demands of civilization as we know them. And in practice, that means that if we take a look at
00:04:01.140 how things are going at the WNBA, we can get a pretty good sense of how exactly the country would
00:04:05.620 be doing if we had gotten stuck back in 2020 and never moved on, for the most part, from the BLM
00:04:13.080 race hysteria. And thanks to the WNBA, we don't have to wonder anymore what that would be like. 0.98
00:04:18.200 Instead, all we have to do is tune into opening day of the 2025 WNBA season, which took place on
00:04:24.640 Saturday, in case you missed it, which most people did. And in just one day, the very first day of the
00:04:30.960 season, the WNBA, for all intents and purposes, completely fell apart. I mean, to the extent that
00:04:35.820 it can even fall apart because it's already fallen apart. The entire league, which serves as the
00:04:40.600 platonic ideal of a progressive enterprise, devolved instantly into a race hoax and inevitable racial 1.00
00:04:48.900 outrage. On the first day, no one's even pretending to talk about the different teams in the WNBA or the
00:04:55.500 power rankings or whatever. Instead, once again, they're talking about white supremacy and racism.
00:05:01.560 Now, the drama officially began in the third quarter of a game between the Indiana Fever and
00:05:06.520 the Chicago Sky. The Indiana Fever is the team that Caitlin Clark plays for. The Chicago Sky is the name
00:05:12.340 of the team that Caitlin Clark's arch nemesis, Angel Reese, plays for. Now, if you're cynical, you might
00:05:18.680 conclude that the WNBA intentionally created this matchup for opening day in order to generate exactly
00:05:24.460 the kind of racial controversy that would inevitably follow. But for all I know, maybe these are the
00:05:30.340 only two teams that exist in the WNBA. So maybe they had to schedule it that way. I don't know.
00:05:35.460 Regardless, I'll play the dramatic moment that started all this. This is in the third quarter.
00:05:41.980 And for many of you, this will be the first slice of WNBA basketball that you'll ever watch.
00:05:47.220 Here it is.
00:05:51.820 Rebecca Allen, too strong on a three.
00:05:56.460 And look out, Caitlin Clark pushes Angel Reese and Angel Reese gets right up into Caitlin Clark. 1.00
00:06:03.700 Afterwards, there's something to say as Clark walks away.
00:06:08.060 Okay, now, in case you missed it, we'll play the relevant part back in slow motion. As you can see,
00:06:14.620 Angel Reese, number five, pushes another player with two hands as she's trying to get the rebound. 1.00
00:06:20.180 Apparently, the player that Angel Reese pushed is named Natasha Howard or something like that. 0.98
00:06:25.380 In any event, it's a clear foul, but it's not called. And then you can see that Caitlin Clark is 1.00
00:06:29.640 stunned the foul wasn't called. She sticks out both arms in protest. And then once Reese gets the
00:06:34.260 rebound, Clark fouls her on purpose. And this is called a take foul in basketball. And in context,
00:06:39.860 the take foul makes sense. She wants to prevent Reese from getting the easy layup and force her 1.00
00:06:44.660 to go to the free throw line in order to get the points. And so she has to foul quickly before she 1.00
00:06:49.920 begins the shot, because if she waits too long, then it's a shooting foul and a potential three-point 1.00
00:06:54.460 play. Now, if you watch this moment and you're not an alien who's completely unfamiliar with
00:06:59.940 basketball or human interaction, it's one of the least remarkable sequences that you can imagine.
00:07:04.260 The ref blew a call, and then Clark attempted to end the play as quickly as possible, 0.77
00:07:08.100 which every basketball player in her position is taught to do. It's all very normal. Everything
00:07:11.940 about it is normal. Nothing, nothing, not a big deal. None of it. Everything makes sense so far,
00:07:16.920 but sense, common sense, is suspended in organizations like the WNBA. And that's why 1.00
00:07:22.940 moments after this incident took place, a reporter asked Caitlin Clark, perhaps the single most loaded
00:07:30.700 question that's ever been asked in professional sports. Watch.
00:07:36.640 Walk me through your perspective on the flagrant foul. What was the point you were trying to make
00:07:40.340 to her? It's just a good take foul. Either Angel gets wide open two points, or we send him to the 0.99
00:07:46.260 free throw line. Nothing malicious about it. It's just a good take foul. Every basketball player knows that.
00:07:49.740 Yeah, what point were you trying to make with that foul? What was the point? Were you trying to say
00:07:55.720 that, you know, black people should be enslaved again? Were you saying that the 2020 election was 0.93
00:07:59.940 stolen? What specific genocide were you endorsing when you committed that foul? This is the kind of
00:08:06.480 ridiculous, obviously fake journalism that you see in the sports world all the time, but it's 0.92
00:08:12.780 particularly common in the WNBA. None of these reporters posed the same questions to Angel Reese when 1.00
00:08:17.600 she elbowed Caitlin Clark in the head last year, or when she celebrated on the sideline when Clark was 0.95
00:08:21.800 blindsided and knocked over by another player. There's a lot of questions they don't have. None
00:08:25.240 of them, none of the people, none of these people have ever asked whether Brittany Griner is really
00:08:29.140 a woman. You know, it seems like a relevant question. They don't care about questions that 1.00
00:08:34.060 are actually grounded in reality, but they're asking Caitlin Clark these very stupid questions because 0.99
00:08:38.160 in the alternate universe of the WNBA, they honestly believe this kind of lazy race baiting is still 0.99
00:08:44.740 persuasive. But, you know, very few people are falling for it anymore. Robert Griffin III, the
00:08:49.820 former Redskins quarterback, was one of the most prominent voices to call out this fraudulent
00:08:53.560 narrative. He wrote, quote, after watching Caitlin Clark's flagrant foul on Angel Reese in the aftermath,
00:08:58.740 there's no way Angel Reese can continue to lie that she doesn't like, dislike Caitlin Clark. I know what
00:09:03.540 hatred looks like. Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark, not some basketball rivalry hate either. Hate. 1.00
00:09:09.140 RG3 also posted commentary about the incident in which he pointed out all the other times that
00:09:15.300 Reese has attacked Caitlin Clark physically and otherwise. And then he pointed to Reese's own
00:09:20.680 words in which she described herself as one of the league's villains, which is one of the most 0.58
00:09:26.260 pathetic things you could possibly aspire to be as a villain in the WNBA. But anyway, here's part of
00:09:31.740 what he said. Remember last year when they were talking about who gets the credit for the expansion
00:09:39.400 and the eyeballs and the popularity boost of women's basketball, not just the WNBA, but women's
00:09:45.680 basketball in general, because of the spike in the women's NCAA tournament and NWNBA viewership.
00:09:52.780 A lot of people were attributing that to Caitlin Clark, and rightfully so. This is what Angel
00:09:57.420 Reese had to say, and I quote, people are talking about women's basketball. You never would think
00:10:03.720 they'd be talking about women's basketball. People are pulling up to the games. We got celebrities
00:10:07.760 coming to the game, sold out arenas, just because of one single game. Just looking at that, I'll take
00:10:13.560 that role. I'll take the bad guy role, and I'll continue to take that on to be that for my teammates.
00:10:19.240 I know I'll go down in history. I'll look back in 20 years and be like, the reason we're watching
00:10:24.480 women's basketball is not just because of one person. It's because of me, too. I want y'all to
00:10:30.680 realize that. Now, I heard a lot of people say that I or others have made Angel Reese the villain.
00:10:39.160 Did you not just hear herself call herself the bad guy? She called herself the villain. I'm not making
00:10:47.160 her the villain. She's making herself the villain. Now, you can agree or disagree with RG3's perspective
00:10:53.000 or not care in the slightest, either way. Probably the smartest option of the three.
00:10:57.640 Regardless, in the world of sports commentary, RG3's statements crossed a very clear line
00:11:02.020 because he refused to endorse the latest narrative of racial grievance that was percolating.
00:11:08.460 And therefore, various commentators lined up to attack him in extremely personal terms.
00:11:13.940 And no one was more eager to attack RG3 than Ryan Clark, who's a former NFL player.
00:11:18.320 And watch as Clark unloads on RG3, not for his opinions, but for the crime of marrying a white 0.59
00:11:26.020 woman, which because this is what passes for sports commentary these days. Apparently, because 1.00
00:11:32.020 his wife is white, RG3 is disqualified from commenting on any topic involving Caitlin Clark. Watch.
00:11:38.660 And so now, if you're RG3, when is the last time within your household you've had a conversation 0.58
00:11:46.160 about what she's dealing with? You haven't been able to do that because in both of your marriages
00:11:51.860 you've been married to white women. You haven't had opportunities to have those conversations to
00:11:56.960 educate you on what they're feeling, what black women deal with, what they're seeing when they think
00:12:02.440 of a young Angel Reese. And the whole time that he's mimicking Angel Reese and bobbing his head
00:12:07.380 and moving his neck while he's doing this whole piece, his wife is in the back amening and clapping.
00:12:13.260 And so to me, it's just another situation that now this young lady has to deal with. 0.85
00:12:18.820 But it also leads to what black women deal with a lot from black men who have chose to date or marry
00:12:26.260 outside of their race. They always feel like they have to go the extra mile to prop up the woman 0.99
00:12:32.200 that they're married or the woman that they're with over black women by denigrating black women.
00:12:37.940 I feel like we should have an opportunity to move past that and understand that Angel Reese can be
00:12:44.020 great in her own right as Caitlin Clark is as well. I mean, it's just, uh, it's very difficult to,
00:12:52.300 in fact, impossible to imagine, uh, a mainstream sports commentator lecturing a famous, uh, athlete or
00:13:00.800 another commentator for, you know, marrying a black woman. It's just like, you can't imagine 0.64
00:13:06.300 it, but this is what this, this guy, he will openly say this and there's no problem. It's an
00:13:11.140 incredible window into how racial politics in every case just demolishes any potential for
00:13:16.760 civilized rational discussion. It's a race to the bottom every single time, instead of talking about,
00:13:21.040 you know, the arguments or the thing that we're supposed to be talking about, which in this case is
00:13:24.580 just basketball, everything boils down to your skin color or your wife's skin color in this case. 0.99
00:13:30.040 And from what I could tell, executives at the WNBA realized how bad this whole narrative was going
00:13:34.020 for them. And therefore, in order to distract from the fake Caitlin Clark controversy and the
00:13:39.120 transparent anti-white rhetoric that ensued, they concocted the idea that the crowd of this game
00:13:44.460 had actually unleashed racial slurs on Angel Reese and her teammates. This is the AP's report on
00:13:51.700 the ongoing investigation. And again, just to remind you, all of this is coming just from the
00:13:56.260 first game, just from day number one. Quote, the WNBA is investigating racial comments directed
00:14:01.820 towards Angel Reese by fans during the Chicago Sky's loss to Caitlin Clark and the Fever at Indiana
00:14:06.980 on Saturday, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to the Associated
00:14:10.640 Press on Sunday on condition of anonymity because the league had not publicly identified the subject of
00:14:16.280 the taunts or who made the allegations. The WNBA strongly condemns racism, hate, and discrimination 0.79
00:14:21.660 in all its forms. They have no place in our league or in society, the league said in a statement.
00:14:26.620 We are aware of the allegations and are looking into the matter. Quote. And the article adds that
00:14:32.000 the WNBA Players Union has released a statement which asserted that unacceptable and hateful comments
00:14:38.200 were uttered during the game at some point by someone in some way. Now, if this sounds familiar,
00:14:44.500 it's exactly what happened last September when I last made the mistake of talking about the WNBA.
00:14:48.340 Back then, there were reports that slurs had been directed at Brittany Griner while she, 0.99
00:14:53.020 he, they was playing a game. But curiously enough, no audio or video surfaced that proved
00:14:59.120 anybody was uttering those slurs. Even though there were television cameras and smartphones
00:15:03.620 everywhere in the stadium, no one caught any of these naughty words on video. And once again,
00:15:09.120 that's the case here. No one can quote these racial comments. Everyone's reporting on racial comments.
00:15:13.840 No one's even said what they are. And even less, can they give any proof that these things,
00:15:18.580 that these comments were made? In fact, Tyler Marsh, the head coach of the Chicago Sky said he
00:15:23.680 didn't hear any slurs from courtside. The first time he heard about any alleged slur was when the
00:15:28.200 media told him about it. Watch. Coach, when did you become aware that there was hate speech that happened?
00:15:35.120 Uh, I think when everyone else did, I think that, um, you know, it's, uh, it's something that, you know,
00:15:42.480 we heard about. And so, uh, you know, again, we're just forthcoming with anything that the,
00:15:46.960 that the league was, is able to get investigation wise. And just a quick follow up line, just because
00:15:50.780 you coached in Indiana, did you ever have any issues with that while you were coaching there?
00:15:54.680 Uh, I think my focus was always on the team and on the organization and doing my job as best as I
00:16:00.000 could. And so, um, yeah, that's kind of what it was. Were you doing this throughout the game or just
00:16:05.260 at that moment? Oh, I was concentrated on, on our team and, uh, and what we were doing game plan wise
00:16:10.920 against Indiana. Okay. So he's a total, I mean, he knows that it's nonsense. He's a total coward.
00:16:15.920 He was asked when you coached in Indiana, did you have a problem with hate speech? The answer is 1.00
00:16:20.260 obviously no. I mean, the answer is no, never, not one time. What are you talking about?
00:16:24.520 Like we didn't, people going to watch basketball games or not. Um, but he doesn't say that and
00:16:29.580 says, well, I was, I wasn't really focused on that. I wasn't focused on that. So nobody could
00:16:35.020 say what these comments were. There's no evidence of them. They weren't picked up by any camera,
00:16:39.000 by any, um, by any cell phone or anything. Uh, no one seems to have heard someone heard them,
00:16:46.040 but no one is even saying that they specifically heard them. So, you know, it looks like the KKK
00:16:50.960 ghosts are back again. After their first appearance in September, they've returned to
00:16:55.000 torment the WNBA for reasons that no one can explain. On opening night, these racist ghosts
00:17:00.320 once again, purchase tickets to see WNBA games because of course, racists love spending money 0.99
00:17:05.020 on the WNBA. That's like the first thing a racist would love to do is go to a WNBA game. 1.00
00:17:08.860 And then as the game progressed, the racist ghosts decided to drop N-bombs, I guess,
00:17:13.680 that, that, that only the players could hear and, uh, coaches couldn't hear them. TV cameras
00:17:18.820 and cell phones couldn't pick them up, but rest assured the ghosts were definitely being racist
00:17:22.240 and, um, we should all be very troubled by their behavior. The WNBA explicitly encourages narratives 1.00
00:17:27.680 like this develop. In fact, just this year, they launched something called no space for hate,
00:17:32.200 which the AP describes as quote, a multidimensional platform designed to combat hate and promote
00:17:37.060 respect across all WNBA spaces, both online and in arenas. In other words, they have a whole program
00:17:43.600 that's designed to lend credibility to the idea that random people are buying tickets to WNBA games
00:17:48.540 only to unleash, unleash race, racial slurs once they get there. Now, in reality, as you can tell
00:17:54.520 from the footage of this game that was uploaded online, uh, the handful of people in attendance were
00:17:58.860 not being racist. They were booing though, because the product that WNBA sells from the quality of the 1.00
00:18:04.160 referees to the quality of most of the players is garbage. Uh, the booing is evident in many 0.98
00:18:09.700 videos, but the racial slurs were not. And that's why when she was asked about these alleged racial
00:18:14.460 slurs, Angel Reese rattled off a few meaningless statements, including a reference to the WNBA
00:18:19.480 policy on hate speech. But at no point did she describe the allegedly racist remarks that she
00:18:24.100 presumably would have heard since she was on the court. Watch. 0.80
00:18:29.640 Yeah. Yeah. Obviously there's no place in this league for that. Um, I think the WNBA, 0.98
00:18:34.400 our team and our organization has done a great job supporting me. I've had communication from
00:18:39.200 everyone, from so many people across this league and being able to support me and going through
00:18:43.780 this, going through this whole process, obviously it could happen to me, it could happen to anyone.
00:18:47.000 And I think they've done a great job supporting us in this. How did it affect you Saturday,
00:18:51.300 trying to do your job, trying to play and having this going on simultaneously? Yeah,
00:18:55.400 obviously it's tough, but I think I have a great support system. I'm loved by so many people. Um,
00:18:59.980 and obviously in the moment it is, it's, it's hard to hear, but my support system is great. Um,
00:19:05.340 God has protected me in so many different ways. I've gone through so many different things in the
00:19:10.420 past couple of years of my life, but I think just having this support and this love and being a part of
00:19:14.680 organization that really supports me and loves me is something that just, I couldn't imagine not
00:19:18.880 being a part of. So she, she, you notice she never, she never, she never actually even explicitly
00:19:25.420 confirms that she heard anything. Uh, she just says there's no place in a league for it. There's
00:19:31.100 no place in a league for this thing that didn't happen. There's no place in a league for imaginary
00:19:35.380 things that don't happen. Um, so she never even confirms that she heard anything and she certainly
00:19:40.660 doesn't tell us like, well, what, what did, what was said supposedly, what exactly was said that was
00:19:47.220 racially insensitive? Um, no one can explain that. So she's not exactly talking like someone
00:19:52.160 actually heard anything during the game. Even if you don't know anything about this particular
00:19:55.500 incident, it doesn't sound remotely like she's telling the truth. Instead, she's making it very
00:19:58.820 clear once again, that she's an actor and not a very convincing one. Her job is RG three pointed out
00:20:03.880 is to play the villain of the WNBA so they can generate some drama. Um, these people believe that if
00:20:09.460 they generate enough fake storylines about racist fans and non-existent flagrant fouls,
00:20:13.700 then people might actually watch the games and then they can scrape together some cash instead
00:20:17.960 of losing another $40 million this year. But it won't work for the same reason that the BLM hysteria
00:20:23.100 of 2020 ultimately, uh, has, uh, has, has not panned out the, and the BLM is falling apart. Also the WNBA
00:20:30.500 is the perfect encapsulation of every deranged impulse of modern leftism that the rest of society is
00:20:36.460 rejecting. The hoaxes simply aren't effective anymore. I mean, no one outside of the media
00:20:41.740 buys it. Manufactured narratives about phantom acts of racism without any kind of evidence whatsoever
00:20:47.820 convince no one. And yet for all the millions of dollars they burn every year on high price
00:20:53.260 consultants, the WNBA is one of the few remaining organizations on the planet that doesn't seem to
00:20:56.600 realize this. The WNBA stands virtually alone as a reminder of what this country would have looked
00:21:02.000 like if we hadn't reversed course after the George Floyd hysteria and the defund the police movement
00:21:07.420 and so on. And in that sense, and only that, and only in that sense, it's fair to say that the WNBA
00:21:13.540 against all odds actually does serve something of a purpose. It's a reminder of a giant bullet that
00:21:20.060 this country dodged. And every time the league releases a dumb statement about, uh, you know, 0.96
00:21:24.980 legitimate basketball plays or some ADIQ sports commentator accuses Caitlin Clark of racism for 1.00
00:21:30.700 committing a foul. We should thank God that the rest of the country has nothing in common with
00:21:35.740 the WNBA. Now let's get to our five headlines. Let me ask you something. Do you really trust
00:21:47.560 your internet provider? Uh, you probably shouldn't. In many countries, ISPs are required to log your
00:21:53.180 online activity for government access. In the U S it's even worse. They can legally sell your browsing
00:21:58.020 history to anyone. What's the solution of VPN. And I personally use express VPN. It's an app that
00:22:04.180 routes my internet traffic through encrypted servers, keeping it away from my ISP data brokers
00:22:09.600 and other prying eyes. But of course you need to trust your VPN provider. Why do I trust express VPN?
00:22:15.060 Despite receiving over 300 law enforcement requests last year, they've never exposed customer data,
00:22:20.040 not once check their transparency report. If you're curious, they do comply with authorities when
00:22:25.280 required, but they can't hand over what they don't have. Their servers run on volatile memory with
00:22:30.940 nothing saved to disc private by design. I personally use it every time I travel for work events, rallies,
00:22:36.760 and the like. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my sensitive emails and financial information
00:22:40.520 are safe, even on sketchy hotel or airport wifi express VPN works across all your devices. Couldn't
00:22:45.900 be simpler to use one tap and you're protected. It's simple as that. So if you want the VPN,
00:22:50.400 I trust to protect my online privacy, get express VPN. In fact, you can get four extra months of
00:22:55.000 express VPN for free with my special link, go to expressvpn.com slash Walsh. That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N.com
00:23:01.260 slash Walsh to get four extra months free. All right, Nancy Mace. My dear friend, Nancy Mace is the
00:23:10.540 most attention-starved person in Congress, hands down. As we have reviewed, especially in recent weeks and
00:23:19.420 months, all that this woman does is talk about herself and cook up publicity stunts. I mean, 1.00
00:23:24.360 that's all she does. And yesterday she had another one. Uh, this is what she tweeted earlier in the
00:23:30.660 day. She tweeted this. And just to remind you before I read this, this is a member of Congress
00:23:37.000 who is tweeting this. She says, yes, I'm going there today. I will show my naked body on one of
00:23:44.140 the videos predator and rapist Patrick Bryant took of me and many other women without our knowledge, 0.93
00:23:49.320 without our permission, and without our consent. He stripped his victims of their dignity,
00:23:52.420 their privacy, and their liberty. He meticulously organized and categorized these things.
00:23:56.660 They stored these images of all these women for years without telling them. He still walks free,
00:24:01.100 no accountability, no jail, no restitution for his victims, nothing. He's still free to rape and film 0.89
00:24:05.460 without consequence. Um, so that was the headline she put out there. She was going to display her 0.55
00:24:12.560 naked body during a congressional hearing. Uh, just add this to the long list of things that are far
00:24:18.740 more desperate and far more shameless than anything that someone like AOC has ever done.
00:24:23.640 I mean, as much as I despise AOC, it's actually unimaginable that she would ever tweet this out.
00:24:29.180 I, I, for as desperate for attention as she is, I, I cannot imagine her ever tweeting out that she was 0.97
00:24:36.140 planning to show her naked body during a congressional hearing. It's, this is the kind of utterly shameless
00:24:41.860 ploy for attention that only Nancy Mace could cook up. If I read just the first two sentences of that
00:24:48.500 tweet to you, you had no context, you didn't know where it was coming. Um, and I asked you to guess
00:24:53.180 which member of Congress said this, everybody would say, Oh yeah, Nancy, like it can only be Nancy Mace.
00:24:59.220 Um, you know, so this is what she, she does. And she's doing all this ostensibly to expose 0.93
00:25:08.440 some guy that no one has heard of. Um, and actually the guy is her ex fiance. So when you
00:25:16.200 hear the name, like Patrick, what was it? Patrick, Patrick Bryant. Um, that was the name, right? Yeah.
00:25:21.540 Patrick Bryant. And you hear that name again, without context, you might think, Oh, well, so is that some
00:25:27.120 why are you like, whatever your issue is with him, even if it's, even if he did something terrible,
00:25:34.000 why, why are you, why are you talking about that in Congress? Um, if you got an issue,
00:25:39.380 if he did something terrible to take it to court, uh, is this something, does, is this person like
00:25:45.280 relevant? Is this, is this person like a national security risk or something? Is this, is this a
00:25:49.000 terrorist mastermind of some kind that, that, that all, that all Americans have to worry about?
00:25:53.100 Well, no, this is her ex fiance. Okay. So she's got a problem with her ex fiance and Nancy Mace has
00:26:00.960 been using her time in Congress for months now to lob accusations against her former lover. Okay. 0.83
00:26:09.360 Now, whether the accusations are true or not, which I have no idea, you may wonder still why it has
00:26:16.020 anything to do with Congress. If he did something terrible to you and you have evidence of it,
00:26:22.560 take it to court. Like if you really have evidence of all this video evidence of him,
00:26:28.440 take it to court. What are you doing in Congress? Bring it to the police.
00:26:34.060 And if you haven't done that, or if you have, and the guy hasn't been arrested yet, well,
00:26:37.780 then that raises a lot of questions about, uh, about the legitimacy of this supposed evidence
00:26:42.040 that you have. But regardless, taxpayers are not, it's, we are not sending you to Congress
00:26:49.640 to deal with your personal disputes. Um, but this is what she's doing.
00:26:57.860 And the answer is that she's doing it because she cannot talk about anything but herself
00:27:01.620 ever period. She cannot do it. Um, that's literally the only thing she talks about.
00:27:08.280 So she grabbed headlines by desperately promising to expose her naked body to the world. Like, um, 0.94
00:27:15.960 you know, she's, this is like some kind of sex pest in a trench coat, right? Threatening to flash 1.00
00:27:23.220 the taxpayers. And then we get to the hearing and that she hyped up, you know, as one does 0.90
00:27:30.980 when they're doing legitimate work for the taxpayers, they hype up some, uh, or you got tune into this
00:27:36.340 hearing. You're not going to believe the videos that I show you. So, uh, we get to the hearing
00:27:44.000 and here's what that looked like. Liberty begins with the right to close a door, a hidden camera
00:27:52.480 kicks that door off its hinges. The constitution's fourth amendment enshrines a reasonable expectation
00:27:59.300 of privacy. Yet today that freedom is violated by secret cameras and hidden devices to record
00:28:06.180 women and girls with impunity. Freedom is not a theory. It is the right to breathe. It is the right
00:28:13.560 to dress and undress, to sleep without someone's camera filming your naked body. The founders wrote
00:28:20.440 liberty in parchment, but hidden cameras erase it in pixels. Okay. So the, um, and this, this,
00:28:30.820 by the way, just all the Congress has been this session is just these women with their publicity 0.99
00:28:37.280 stunts and like using, like just, just treating Congress like a reality show. I mean, you know,
00:28:42.460 you had the, the, the female, the Congresswomen that were showing up with their babies, right? So we 0.99
00:28:47.960 had to go, we had to go through like three weeks of them complaining that they have to come to work.
00:28:51.660 And, you know, she's making a big show of having her baby with her on the house floor. And now we 1.00
00:28:56.400 have Nancy Mace. It's just one thing after another. Can you people get to the actual work of Congress?
00:29:03.300 Can you do, can you do something for the taxpayers, not yourselves? Can you think about something other
00:29:08.860 than yourself for five seconds, Nancy? So the naked photo that she threatened to share with the world 0.95
00:29:16.020 is actually just a grainy, blurry screenshot from a security camera. Now did this guy, uh, it's a
00:29:25.140 security camera from his apartment, I think, and it's in the living room. It looks like, actually, it looks
00:29:31.660 like it's in his kitchen maybe. And it's, and it's, but it also captures the living room. So did this guy
00:29:38.200 have a security camera because he's a rapist sex predator? Maybe. I honestly have no clue. I'm not saying 1.00
00:29:44.700 that's not the case. I don't know. You don't know. I have no clue. I haven't the faintest idea. Now there are,
00:29:53.540 of course, other reasons why a person might have a security camera. Also the camera is in the living
00:29:59.240 room. I mean, this is a wide shot of the living room. If the camera, if the camera is there in
00:30:06.280 order to capture voyeuristic images of naked women, that's a terrible thing. You should go to jail for
00:30:10.120 that. That's my point. If you have evidence of a crime, take it to the police. But, um, if that is
00:30:20.360 what happened, it's like, why would he have it in his own living room? I mean, if the camera was in
00:30:25.560 the bathroom or like a place where there's no legitimate reason. Now I don't, I think it's
00:30:30.240 crazy. People have security cameras in their, like in their own homes, pointing into their living
00:30:34.120 spaces. I think that's nuts. I would never do that. I don't want a camera. Um, I agree with Nancy. I
00:30:41.260 don't want a camera following me around everywhere, even in my own home. Um, so we have security cameras
00:30:45.960 outside the home, but I'm not going to have a camera, but people do that. A lot of people do that
00:30:49.020 these days. That's like a pretty normal thing. People have security cameras all over their own
00:30:52.120 homes in, in the living spaces now. So that in and of itself, and you hear, oh, he's got a security
00:30:58.260 camera in his living room. That doesn't maybe 20 years ago. If you heard that you would go,
00:31:02.660 this guy's a total freak, but now it's like, well, he might be a freak, but also a lot of people do
00:31:08.300 that. So that's not in and of itself. Normal. Uh, if it's like if it's in the bathroom, okay, well,
00:31:15.680 it's like there's even in this world where people have cameras everywhere, there's no legitimate,
00:31:19.620 there couldn't possibly be any legitimate reason for that. Um, in the bedroom, even,
00:31:24.920 even though, again, a lot of people have security cameras in their bedrooms. I think it's crazy,
00:31:28.780 but a lot of people do. Um, but if she, if there was, if, if there, if there was some,
00:31:37.600 you know, more damning sort of piece of evidence like that of, oh, look, he's got a camera in his,
00:31:42.500 in the bathroom, for example, look what he's, well, you would think that, um, that she'd be
00:31:49.020 presenting that evidence, but she didn't. This is the image that she chose to show in Congress
00:31:54.220 and make a big deal out of. I think it's, it's fair to assume that if there were more damning
00:32:00.080 images or more damning evidence, she would have shared it. So this whole story is very strange to
00:32:05.960 me. And, um, I'm definitely not going to take Nancy Mace's word for it. Sorry. I'm just not
00:32:12.260 what she's saying could be true. I don't know, but I'm sorry. We can't just say, well, Nancy
00:32:20.320 may said it. She would never lie. She would never lie for attention. Just recently we have her in, 1.00
00:32:27.820 you know, in the, the cosmetic aisle at the, at the pharmacy claiming she's being viciously 1.00
00:32:33.880 accosted by some guy. And then we get the video of it. And all he's doing is saying,
00:32:37.480 Hey, what do you do in a town hall? And she turns that into a five-day news cycle. So 0.97
00:32:41.740 we know that she's capable of just making things up or grossly exaggerating. Is she doing that in 0.93
00:32:48.240 this case? I have no idea. No clue. Either way, why is this our problem as the taxpayers to deal with?
00:32:58.200 If Nancy Mace was actually victimized in some criminal way by her former fiance, I'm very sorry
00:33:06.280 for that. Um, that is your personal problem that you need to address in your personal life. I would
00:33:13.600 suggest going to the police and giving them all this evidence that you claim to have that this guy's a, 0.88
00:33:19.120 you called him a predator and a rapist. Why are you not? Now this comes back on you a little bit.
00:33:25.880 You claim you have all this evidence. This guy's a rapist and you have not ensured that he's in
00:33:29.240 jail. What are you doing? Why are you sending out tweets? Um, so we still have that question. 0.98
00:33:42.900 Daily beast has more about this. Congresswoman Nancy Mace displayed a poster. She claimed was
00:33:46.760 of her naked of her naked at a hearing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, as she accused her ex fiance and
00:33:51.820 others of taking video of women without permission. It was the latest in a series of explosive
00:33:55.480 allegations Mace has publicly made against her ex. The silhouette image was one of the several
00:34:00.320 visuals the South Carolina Congresswoman used during a house oversight committee hearing on
00:34:03.520 surveillance and private spaces. Um, her ex fiance and others have denied the accusations.
00:34:09.080 Uh, she, uh, so that's, so, you know, they've come out and denied it. Um, one of the men she
00:34:19.480 accused, she has accused sued the Congresswoman for defamation in March. So one of the guys she's
00:34:27.180 accusing is suing for defamation. Um, as far as I know, so far, the other guys aren't.
00:34:32.140 So is that, is that a potentially damning on their part? Are they not suing because what she's saying
00:34:38.760 is true? Again, I don't know. There is a funny thing about all this, which is, did you know that
00:34:43.240 you actually can't sue a member of Congress for things they say in Congress? Did you know that
00:34:49.000 if a member of Congress makes a false defamatory claim about you during an official proceeding in
00:34:55.580 Congress, you can't sue them? They have total immunity. So a member of Congress can get up at
00:35:02.000 the, at a hearing and they can go, they can go to the floor of Congress, the floor of the house,
00:35:06.060 and they can say whatever they want about you and you can't sue them. They can make whatever false
00:35:11.640 claims they want with no repercussions whatsoever. Is that why Nancy Mace is hashing this out in 0.99
00:35:18.000 Congress rather than in a criminal court? Because it's the one place that allows her to say whatever 0.99
00:35:24.440 she wants without getting sued in a bankruptcy for defamation or is she, or are the claims true?
00:35:31.300 Again, I don't know. Neither do you. What I do know is that this is not congressional business.
00:35:38.280 You are there to represent your constituents, not to settle personal scores. You're there to do
00:35:43.660 serious legislative work for the American people, not to dream up one ploy after another to grab
00:35:48.120 headlines. Even if you have really serious problems or if you've been wronged, victimized in some
00:35:53.280 serious way. Well, you should get restitution for that. You should handle that. You should get
00:35:58.740 justice, but it's still not congressional business. So there are basically two groups in Congress,
00:36:09.960 you know, and we, we, most people would say, well, the two groups, Republicans and Democrats.
00:36:14.440 And yeah, those are, that's, that's one way of breaking it down. And, uh, there are significant
00:36:21.400 people say, oh, there's no difference between them. I mean, there are differences. Um, the difference
00:36:27.200 between Nancy Mace and a Democrat is, is vanishingly small. Uh, the, the only real noticeable difference,
00:36:32.960 even politically with Nancy Mace and a Democrat is that she is now very outspoken against, um,
00:36:39.420 against the trans agenda. But up until, as we talked about before, up until like a year ago,
00:36:44.940 she was out there talking about how much she supports trans rights, quote unquote, using
00:36:48.960 those, that phrase. Exactly. That was not all that long ago. Um, so anyway, but, but there,
00:36:54.480 there is a difference between Republicans and Democrats, but I think the more, perhaps even the
00:36:58.960 more salient, uh, way of categorizing them is that you have a group of, of members of Congress
00:37:06.100 who became politicians, but really want to be TikTok influencers. And I know you'll, you'll often,
00:37:14.840 this is not some kind of great new insight on my part. Cause people say all the time that it's,
00:37:19.020 Congress is full of people who were too ugly to become actors, right? The bunch of, a bunch of 0.87
00:37:24.560 failed theater kids. And that's true. But I, but I think it's, it's not even that they, it's now that
00:37:30.440 might've been the case 20 years ago that they're all, all, they're all a bunch of politicians, 0.94
00:37:34.140 but what they really wanted to do was be in Hollywood, but they're too ugly for it. Um, 0.95
00:37:38.200 now these are people who aren't even there. Their greatest dream doesn't even aspire that high.
00:37:46.020 They want to be, they want to be influencers is what they want to be.
00:37:50.400 And then you have another group of people who actually want to be in Congress.
00:37:55.720 Sadly, the former group of the wannabe influencers is much, much larger than the latter. I mean,
00:38:02.260 the influencer group comprises like 95% of Congress. So out of the, whatever, 535 members of Congress
00:38:07.980 of the house and Senate, the wannabe influencer group has 525 people in it, you know, and that
00:38:16.260 leaves 10 or 15 serious adults. So maybe that's another way of putting it. The most relevant
00:38:24.240 distinguishing con this distinction in Congress. Now it's, it's the, the serious adults versus the
00:38:31.320 attention starved children. Uh, that's the group. And there are, and there are a few,
00:38:38.600 there are a few serious adults, but most of them just aren't. These are just not serious people.
00:38:47.320 Um, and they certainly don't care about something as boring, uh, and, and kind of technical as
00:38:59.100 legislating. Because just legislation does not, it's, it doesn't get you a lot of attention.
00:39:10.560 And this is what we have now. We have a lot of people that get into politics because they want
00:39:14.160 attention. It's not even anymore that you got people that get into Congress because they have
00:39:18.660 some deep desire to, for power. They're lusting for power. That I would prefer that. That would be
00:39:26.480 better. At least then if you have someone, it's their real goals, they want power. At least that's
00:39:30.120 a, could be a serious person that might accomplish something or a thing or two. Um, maybe their
00:39:36.380 ultimate goals are not good, but at least that's someone who is capable of accomplishing something.
00:39:42.500 But I think a lot of these people, they don't even, they're not even power hungry. It's like,
00:39:45.360 they don't even really want power. They just want attention. That's it.
00:39:49.540 All right. CJ online reports, a Kansas mom is suing the owner of sites providing online
00:39:57.980 pornographic content under a new Kansas law that requires websites to use age verification
00:40:02.460 technology to prevent minors from accessing their content. The mom suing anonymously as Jane Doe
00:40:07.380 says that her 14 year old son identified by the initials QR opened four cases against, uh,
00:40:13.820 tech pump solutions, uh, technology, Titan websites, and multimedia LLC on May 14th.
00:40:19.520 Doe said her son access pornographic websites without any form of age verification more than
00:40:23.540 150 times. And now she's suing cause this law allows her to do that. And she also says that
00:40:30.620 her son access these, uh, inappropriate sites, um, without her knowledge on, uh, on a, on a device
00:40:40.460 that was not, so they had a, I guess it sounds like they had, you know, they had their devices that
00:40:44.640 were being monitored and then they had an old laptop that were stored in a closet somewhere.
00:40:49.520 That this kid found and that they didn't realize he had. And then he was able to use that to access
00:40:55.060 all these sites. And so that's what she's suing about. And this is an important story because it
00:40:59.820 shows, um, and I'm not going to give my whole spiel on, on this cause I just did that two or three
00:41:04.340 days ago, but it's important stuff because it shows why you can't just say, oh, this is the parent's
00:41:11.500 job. Right. Apparently these parents were actively monitoring their child's internet use,
00:41:17.540 but he found an old laptop and he was accessing this kind of content on that laptop because
00:41:23.200 this is what kids do. You know, kids, kids find a way like Jurassic park, you know, life finds a way.
00:41:28.600 Well, kids will find a way to do whatever it is you don't want them to do. Now that doesn't,
00:41:33.720 that doesn't, I think we can probably assume that there was some real parenting lapses that went into
00:41:37.800 this. And why do you have old devices in the house that, that you're not keeping track of?
00:41:42.980 I mean, if you've got an old laptop, you're not using anymore, throw it away. Don't just keep it
00:41:46.740 in the house. Um, but still, I mean, you can do almost everything right as a parent and have all
00:41:56.440 the rules in place and be setting a good example and be attentive as attentive as you can be. I mean,
00:42:03.700 if you've got a 14 year old kid, you're not following them around the house every second of the day.
00:42:06.660 So you can do all that and they might still find a loophole. They might still find a way around it.
00:42:12.040 That's what kids do. And, uh, this is why we can help parents by putting some very basic
00:42:18.560 restrictions and guardrails in place. I don't know why people are so resistant to the idea of
00:42:24.520 just helping parents. We put parents on an Island and we demand that they raise perfectly well-adjusted
00:42:31.260 human beings, but then we're not willing to do anything as a society to facilitate that
00:42:36.280 or make it easier. When I say help parents, I'm not talking about, you know, the welfare state.
00:42:42.600 I don't mean that kind of help. I'm not talking financial help. I'm just saying, try to, to create
00:42:48.320 a society where there is not, that, that, that isn't just overrun by filth and smut everywhere you
00:42:56.900 turn. How about helping out that way? A little bit. Um, because look, you know, I'm not going to
00:43:08.880 start talking about it takes a village to raise a child. Um, because that's, I don't quite agree with
00:43:13.840 that sentiment. However, and, and it is, it is the job of a parent primarily to take care of your own
00:43:21.760 kid, but also, yes, as a society, we all, we, we do have a level of responsibility to the children
00:43:29.580 of society. We do. Um, so saying, oh, that's your kid, take care of your own kid. Yeah. Up to a point.
00:43:36.400 I mean, you are, as the parent, the responsibility falls first and foremost, and primarily to you
00:43:43.060 but the rest of us have some amount of responsibility as well to just like comport
00:43:51.180 yourself with a certain level of dignity and public, you know, if you're going around screaming
00:43:57.400 obscenities or something like that, and there are kids around, well, it's not good enough to say, well,
00:44:01.980 those aren't my kids. Well, no, you have responsibility too, as just as a, as a civilized
00:44:06.980 adult. And, uh, and so this is one responsibility I think we have and we should be more serious about
00:44:14.620 it. Okay. I wanted to talk about this. Scott Adams announced a couple of days ago that he has the
00:44:18.600 same type of cancer as Joe Biden spread to his bones. And he anticipates that he has only a few
00:44:23.100 months to live, uh, probably won't survive the summer. So it's very sad news, of course. Uh,
00:44:27.460 and Scott Adams is a, is a great mind. You know, I've, I've been a fan of his for a long time.
00:44:31.220 He's an interesting person, which is, which to me is the highest compliment, uh, among the highest
00:44:37.540 compliments I can pay someone because the market is saturated with boring click farmers who 1.00
00:44:41.840 regurgitate the same talking points over and over again. Scott Adams is actually interesting. He's a
00:44:46.300 real thinker. And so he will be dearly missed, but he is still with us right now. And I watched the
00:44:53.480 whole show where he talks about his diagnosis and also Biden's. This is on Monday and it's tragic and
00:45:00.680 sad, of course, but it's also, uh, fascinating and really inspiring to see a man confronting his
00:45:08.080 own death with forthrightness and courage. We just don't see that, um, hardly at all in our society.
00:45:16.580 So here's just a quick clip. I think this is from the end of this episode where he made this
00:45:20.880 announcement and I want to play this. Watch it. Now I realized that for some of you, this is hitting
00:45:27.580 you kind of hard because you're hearing it for the first time. Uh, weirdly, since it's, it's old
00:45:34.440 news to me, um, I've just sort of processed it. So it just sort of is what it is. And I have to say
00:45:43.060 that, you know, everybody has to die as far as I know. And it's kind of civilized that, you know,
00:45:52.440 about how long you have so you can put your affairs together and make sure you've said your goodbyes
00:45:58.700 and done all the things you need to do. So if you had to, if you had to pick a way to die,
00:46:04.600 this one's really painful, like really, really painful. Um, but it's also kind of good that it
00:46:13.900 gives you enough time while your brain is still working to wrap things up. You might wonder why it
00:46:21.180 took me so long to tell you. And I think I owe you an answer to that. Number one,
00:46:29.100 it would change my life because everybody would start treating me like the cancer guy.
00:46:36.560 You can't really back, like there's no, there's no second way that goes.
00:46:42.980 You know, once you go public, you're just the dying cancer guy. And I didn't want you to have to
00:46:49.680 think about it. And I didn't want to have to think about it. Um, you should know, well, if you didn't
00:46:56.380 already know, I am unusually mentally tough. So while this could be much worse, you know, for some people,
00:47:06.680 I suppose I'm handling it quite well. Uh, the, the pain is tough. I mean, really tough, but the mental
00:47:16.740 part, you know, I got that under control and I can see in the comments of some of you are having a
00:47:23.640 tough time with it, but remember nothing lasts forever. Nothing lasts forever.
00:47:31.600 So I think this is a really extraordinary because it's such a departure from what we're used to seeing.
00:47:37.660 I mean, for one thing, the, the, this man is talking about his own impending death and he's
00:47:44.000 talking about it less dramatically and with less self-pity than how most people these days talk
00:47:48.480 about, you know, reading mean comments on the internet or whatever. We live in a culture where
00:47:53.620 people claim they're traumatized by the slightest little speed bump in the road. Everybody complains
00:47:58.280 about everything all the time. Nobody suffers with dignity. Nobody suffers with stoicism.
00:48:03.140 And here's Scott Adams dying of cancer and, uh, and speaking about it calmly facing it with dignity
00:48:09.720 and class. And I think that's a tremendous example and also a tremendous rebuke of our weak, effeminate
00:48:17.960 culture. And also you notice what Scott is not saying. He's not saying that he's still fighting
00:48:29.200 and that there's a chance that he'll beat this thing and so on. And well, you know, there's only
00:48:35.040 a 1% chance, but the 1% chance isn't no chance, like that kind of thing. And the way people usually
00:48:41.080 handle this kind of situation, which is totally understandable, of course, is that they want to
00:48:46.100 be in denial about it. And so, you know, it's like what we're, what we're used to seeing is someone
00:48:51.620 who's, who's on death's door, essentially talking about how they're still fighting, going to fight to
00:48:56.340 the end. Um, and we tend to look at that as, as brave, but at a certain point it's, it's denial,
00:49:05.840 you know, and Scott is not in denial. So to plainly say, yes, I'm going to die. I'm not, I'm,
00:49:11.780 I'm not going to beat this thing. And, uh, that's, that's, that's not weak. That's not giving up.
00:49:18.280 That's not surrendering the fight or whatever. It's quite the opposite. That takes immense strength.
00:49:22.260 And, uh, what he also, what he says also about how everyone has to die, that's an important message.
00:49:28.740 Maybe those most important one that any, that we could, that you can hear. And yeah, we all know
00:49:32.520 it intellectually. Nobody's surprised to learn that we all have to die, but we do live in denial of
00:49:37.880 that fact. And, uh, and there's an absurdity to that. There's an absurdity to the level of denial
00:49:44.340 that we all, that we all are walking around with all the time. Uh, and so when we hear that someone
00:49:51.480 is dying, we kind of think to ourselves, well, we're very sad about it, but we also think like,
00:49:55.660 you know, we're thankful that that is not happening to us. Like, and, and there's a certain dread
00:50:00.620 at the thought that what, what if that was me? But of course it is happening to us too. We've,
00:50:07.920 we've all been diagnosed with a terminal illness, which is the human condition. And our life expectancy
00:50:13.160 is several decades at most before death shows up on our doorstep. Um, it may be, it really,
00:50:20.840 it's, it's even shorter than that because we all get, or not all, but, uh, most, most, some of us
00:50:27.220 get, hopefully a window of time in our lives where death does not come near us. You know, a window of
00:50:35.360 time, hopefully where you're alive and all of your close family members and friends are alive.
00:50:41.280 And so death is sort of this boogeyman out in the shadows. And it's hardly even real because it
00:50:46.700 hasn't touched you. Uh, death is something that happens to other people, but not to you,
00:50:51.360 not to the people who are close to you. Some people never get this window. Some people get
00:50:56.680 this window for 20 years, 30 years, maybe a little bit longer, but then the window closes and then,
00:51:01.180 and death moves in and it starts taking people close to you, parents, relatives, friends. And once that
00:51:06.700 starts to happen, it will, it's not going to stop. Once it starts to happen, it won't stop until it
00:51:13.380 takes you. Once you get into that, what we might call the death stage of your life, uh, the stage
00:51:20.740 where the people closest to you start dying and you start losing, you know, your, your light, your,
00:51:24.940 your life gets lonelier in a way as you start losing people. The only way that that stage ends is
00:51:33.660 with your own, with your own death. Um, and there's no stopping it. There's absolutely no
00:51:39.340 stopping it. And that's just the reality of life. There's no escaping it. You can wear all your health
00:51:44.160 monitors and get your physicals and eat a good diet and avoid seed oils or whatever. And all that
00:51:48.420 is good, but like, you're still going to die. Um, and probably you're, if you're buying yourself
00:51:54.440 anytime with all that stuff, not much probably. So this is a fact that should be a lot more relevant
00:52:02.360 to our day-to-day lives than it is. Uh, it should bear on our lives and our, on the choices
00:52:07.640 that we make a lot more than it does. And cause we, we, we all, we all know that we're going
00:52:16.180 to, that we're, it's like inevitably we're going to inevitably you're going to, you're going
00:52:20.900 to get the bad call about yourself one of these days if you don't just die suddenly. Uh, so 0.89
00:52:26.060 that's inevitable. The other inevitable part is you're going to go and you're going to think
00:52:28.540 like so much of what you spent your life doing is going to look ridiculous. It's going to 0.92
00:52:35.160 be embarrassed by it. You're like, why did I care about any of that stuff? 90% of the
00:52:39.560 stuff you cared about, you, you, you won't even be able to, you won't care about it anymore.
00:52:42.640 And you won't even be able to understand how you ever did, even though, even though those,
00:52:45.280 those, those wants and desires defined your life up until that moment. So, and one of the
00:52:53.440 reasons why that's the case is that we were able to live in denial and not think about
00:52:56.880 death. Um, and that's made easier on us because we kind of, we, we keep it out. We keep death
00:53:04.720 out and that we don't really talk about it. We don't acknowledge it. And when there are
00:53:09.740 people around us, including like famous people who are now confronting their own death, the
00:53:17.440 kind of bargain we've all made unspoken is that those people will also like, they will
00:53:24.320 talk about dying as if they're not actually going to die. Um, what they'll rarely do is
00:53:32.820 what Scott Adams did there. That that's pretty rare. And it's great because it forces you to
00:53:38.640 confront it because he's confronting it. And, uh, I think that's a great service that he's,
00:53:44.220 uh, providing for us. Less than stellar credit can close so many doors from buying a car to

00:55:43.700 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:55:51.040 You know, I saw a very inspiring bumper sticker once that said, everyone you meet is fighting a
00:55:56.540 battle you know nothing about. Be kind always. And the message is clear. Everyone has problems.
00:56:01.920 Everyone is silently struggling against some great obstacle. And so we should be patient and kind
00:56:06.660 to each other. It's a nice sentiment. It's also wrong. That's true that everyone's fighting a
00:56:12.780 battle. But the problem is that in so many cases, the battle is extremely stupid. And very often it's 1.00
00:56:17.840 not being fought silently. We do know about the battles that most people are fighting because they
00:56:22.760 don't shut up about it. For example, many of us now know about the battle currently being fought
00:56:28.440 by Starbucks employees against the company's dress code. Hundreds of Starbucks workers have been on
00:56:34.060 strike for over a week now demanding that the dress code be repealed. They're very loud about
00:56:39.460 this battle. And of all the battles ever fought, it is certainly among the dumbest, especially when 0.98
00:56:44.760 you consider just how incredibly reasonable and normal this dress code is much. Monday marked the start 0.89
00:56:51.040 of new rules on what baristas are allowed to wear under those famous green aprons. The company
00:56:56.920 requiring workers to wear plain black t-shirts and khaki black or blue denim bottoms. Starbucks
00:57:03.860 workers united, the union representing workers at 570 of Starbucks 10,000 company owned U.S. stores
00:57:10.560 says the dress code should be subject to collective bargaining. Now, you might have thought that in 0.98
00:57:15.800 order for a dress code to provoke mass protests and strikes, it would have to be really onerous.
00:57:21.820 You might have thought that Starbucks was implementing a formal black tie required policy.
00:57:27.200 Maybe you thought it would go the other way and the dress code would be something really 0.51
00:57:29.860 morally objectionable. Maybe the dress code stipulates that they aren't allowed to wear any
00:57:33.380 clothes at all. You have to come to work naked. If that was the case, Nancy Mace would have already 1.00
00:57:38.180 submitted her job application. But it turns out that neither of those things are the case. It turns out
00:57:43.400 that the dress code is the least demanding, least onerous dress code ever devised, a black t-shirt
00:57:50.540 and jeans or khakis. It's about as reasonable as you can get. But the Starbucks employees are horrified.
00:57:57.700 This requirement to wear jeans and a black t-shirt presents an insurmountable hurdle, they explain.
00:58:03.000 Watch.
00:58:04.100 Now we have to purchase new shirts and shoes to be compliant with the new policy.
00:58:08.340 Why doesn't Starbucks do the right thing and provide a stipend for these newly required items?
00:58:11.960 We have several partners who have spent lots of money on Starbucks branded shirts, merch,
00:58:15.740 et cetera, and are no longer allowed to wear them.
00:58:17.920 Plus, she wants a stipend to buy a black t-shirt. I mean, you can get a pack of six of them from
00:58:23.980 Walmart for like 22 bucks. Also, not to be Captain Obvious here, but the three Starbucks employees in
00:58:30.560 that video who were protesting having to wear black t-shirts were all wearing black t-shirts.
00:58:36.020 They were currently wearing exactly the thing that they said they could not wear.
00:58:41.980 So Starbucks came to them and said, hey, there's a new dress code. Please wear exactly what you're
00:58:47.480 currently wearing right now. And these Starbucks employees said, how can I do that? How can we
00:58:53.160 possibly wear the thing that we're wearing? That hasn't stopped them from striking, of course,
00:58:58.260 all across the country. Watch.
00:59:00.040 We're out on strike today because Starbucks is trying to implement a new dress code. 0.96
00:59:05.020 No one ever asked for a new dress code. They just, they updated a dress code recently and it made it
00:59:10.220 looser where we can wear colors and patterns. And now they're deciding that we can only wear black.
00:59:16.040 It's very restrictive. Most of us had to buy new clothes and we can't. We can't afford it. We barely make
00:59:21.660 enough money to pay our bills. And also on top of that, they keep trying to make all these changes
00:59:28.120 in union stores and it's illegal. They're not allowed to make these changes without bargaining
00:59:32.100 with us and voting on this. So it's just incredibly alarming and upsetting that Starbucks is continuing
00:59:39.620 to do illegal things to our union stores. Starbucks has not bargained with our union over these
00:59:45.180 dress code changes. Therefore, we cannot accept the dress code. Workers United has also sent a letter
00:59:50.780 to Starbucks demanding that the new dress code not be implemented at union represented stores until
00:59:56.120 bargaining concludes. Starbucks is legally required to bargain with workers at union stores over
01:00:01.920 changes to their working conditions. Unilateral changes are not legal. If the new dress code is
01:00:08.240 implemented at our store or if workers are disciplined for wearing face masks, we will be forced to take
01:00:13.800 escalating action. So to be clear about this, they are marching with picket signs because they don't
01:00:33.060 want to wear a black t-shirt. Even though again, most of them are currently wearing black t-shirts. And
01:00:38.080 what's even funnier is that many of the striking employees in these videos are wearing Starbucks
01:00:42.360 union t-shirts, which also happen to be black. But that means that the union went out and bought
01:00:49.300 uniforms for the union while objecting to wearing a uniform for the actual company itself. So the
01:00:57.220 whole thing is ridiculous on every conceivable level. Now, given that all these people can easily
01:01:02.480 comply with the dress code and some of them already are, um, accidentally, why are they actually
01:01:08.180 objecting to it? Well, first, because the bumper sticker isn't actually true. It turns out not
01:01:12.500 everyone is fighting a battle, not a real battle anyway. And lots of people have easy lives. They
01:01:16.240 have no significant hurdle or challenge. And that's why they have to go looking for obstacles that don't
01:01:20.660 exist in a desperate attempt to imbue their lives with some sense of meaning. Um, and second, a lot of
01:01:28.180 people today, especially the woke crowd reflexively perceive themselves to be at the center of every
01:01:33.420 situation they encounter in their lives. Nothing can ever be about something other than them as
01:01:39.580 individuals. The whole point of a uniform is to make people uniform. That is to, in a very small
01:01:46.700 way, in this case, subordinate the desires of the individual for the sake of some greater purpose.
01:01:52.040 And in this case, the subordination is extremely minor as it involves simply wearing a black t-shirt
01:01:56.480 and the greater purpose is not something of cosmic significance. It's simply the purpose of creating a
01:02:01.840 slightly better, more appealing experience for the customers. But to people like this,
01:02:07.260 the idea that they should ever have to do anything at all, the idea that they should have to make any
01:02:11.900 effort, even in the slightest degree, for the sake of something above or beyond or other than their
01:02:17.560 own comfort and interest is anathema. I mean, they can't wrap their heads around the notion that there
01:02:22.660 may be, sometimes could be some things that are more important than their personal desires.
01:02:27.440 And this is why they make terrible employees and terrible citizens and terrible friends and
01:02:33.760 terrible family members and terrible spouses. They are pathologically selfish. They cannot 0.99
01:02:39.580 even conceive of a universe that they are not at the center of.
01:02:45.080 Now, you might say that the dress code at Starbucks is a rather small thing to justify such a profound
01:02:50.320 indictment. But the smallness of the thing is precisely what justifies the indictment.
01:02:57.140 If you aren't willing to just shut up and wear a black t-shirt because your employer asks you to,
01:03:02.020 then you almost certainly aren't going to be willing to make greater sacrifices for greater purposes.
01:03:08.020 If this is too much to ask, then I mean, anything is too much to ask. A company cannot function if it
01:03:14.720 reaches a critical mass of these kinds of petty narcissists, which means that Starbucks is in for a world of
01:03:19.740 hurt. But neither can any institution. Neither can the country itself. So in conclusion,
01:03:27.200 the Starbucks employees should just shut up and put on the t-shirt or else they are today canceled. 0.95
01:03:34.560 That will do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow.
01:03:37.220 Have a great day. Godspeed.
