The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 173 - Starbucks Now Needs Disposal Boxes For Heroin Needles

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, remember when Starbucks flung open its doors and announced that everyone, even non-customers, could use their bathrooms?

00:00:08.700 Well, how did that work out? Not very well, it turns out. We'll talk about that.

00:00:13.180 Also, the president of Planned Parenthood makes a stunning and honest admission.

00:00:18.200 Stunning because it's honest. And should we tip our flight attendants?

00:00:21.720 That's the question that we'll also tackle today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:25.260 It's always sort of breathtaking whenever we get a little bit of honesty out of Planned Parenthood.

00:00:36.700 You never expect it because the abortion industry runs on lies. Deception.

00:00:41.680 OK, that's their that's their primary fuel source, that and the blood of the innocent.

00:00:45.880 So those two things. But every once in a while, every once in a while, someone at Planned Parenthood will kind of peek up from the muck and the dirt.

00:00:55.260 And the blood and they'll accidentally say something honest. And that's when you stop and you take note because it's such a significant moment.

00:01:04.620 So that happened this week. Leanna Wynn is the new president of Planned Parenthood after the most prolific mass murderer in history. 0.99

00:01:12.300 Cecile Richards stepped down. Leanna Wynn took her place. Leanna Wynn goes by Dr. Wynn. 1.00

00:01:18.260 But I'm not going to call her doctor because she's a doctor in the same way that John Wayne Gacy was a clown. 0.81

00:01:23.880 OK, that's just it's it's it's a cover they use. It's something that they it's a it's a title that they use to lure their victims in.

00:01:30.820 All right. But Wynn was profiled by BuzzFeed recently and the BuzzFeed article claims that Wynn wants to focus on non-abortion services.

00:01:43.300 She wants Planned Parenthood to focus on the non-abortion part and kind of highlight that and do more of that. 0.88

00:01:49.440 Well, Wynn took issue with this. And here's what she tweeted.

00:01:52.980 OK, she said, this is the president of Planned Parenthood, by the way. All right.

00:01:57.020 Just to reiterate, she said, I am always happy to do interviews, but these headlines completely misconstrue my vision for Planned Parenthood.

00:02:04.720 First, our core mission is providing, protecting and expanding access to abortion and reproductive health care.

00:02:10.420 We will never back down from that fight. It is a fundamental human right and women's lives are at stake. 0.98

00:02:14.920 OK. Again, first, our core mission is providing, protecting and expanding access to abortion.

00:02:25.780 Core mission. She didn't even say that's one of our core missions.

00:02:31.240 That's that's a core. She said, that's our core mission.

00:02:37.460 Providing, protecting and expanding access to abortion.

00:02:40.800 Now, I know that if you don't follow these things very closely, but you, you know, you have a general sense of what Planned Parenthood does.

00:02:51.060 You'll hear that and you'll say, yeah, so obviously Planned Parenthood, they that's what they do.

00:02:55.180 They do abortions. Well, yes, I know that. You know that. 0.97

00:02:59.020 But that's not what Planned Parenthood has been saying about itself for the last 50 years.

00:03:04.800 And that's not what Planned Parenthood's proponents say. And those who are proponents of tax funding for Planned Parenthood, that's not what they say.

00:03:12.500 They have always said that abortion is just a tiny part of what they do, a tiny, almost insignificant sort of afterthought.

00:03:22.300 They've said that abortion is 3 percent of their business.

00:03:26.300 That's the number that we've been hearing over and over again for decades.

00:03:30.580 Abortion is 3 percent of our business.

00:03:32.860 Now, if something is 3 percent of your business, can you really say that it's your core mission?

00:03:43.880 If a restaurant were to, if 3 percent of a restaurant's sales were, let's say, coffee, would it make sense for them to call themselves a, you know, a coffee place and say that their core mission is selling coffee?

00:03:59.380 If that's your core mission, then you're really bad at it.

00:04:03.680 Well, the 3 percent figure was always nonsense.

00:04:06.580 And all you had to do was look at the look at the numbers.

00:04:09.860 They've they've they've they've been saying for years that abortion is 3 percent of their business.

00:04:13.760 Yet if you look at the numbers, you'll see that abortion is by far and away the most significant source of revenue for them, or I should say the most significant non-governmental source of revenue because they get five hundred million dollars a year in tax money.

00:04:31.580 So aside from the tax money that's that's shoveled into their pockets, it's the it's the the number one source of revenue.

00:04:38.320 Yet they've been saying for years that it's only 3 percent number one source of revenue.

00:04:42.420 They say 3 percent.

00:04:43.460 How did they how did they say how did they come up with that number?

00:04:47.400 How did they get away with it?

00:04:48.840 Well, partly, it's just a bald face lie.

00:04:50.860 But then also partly here's what they would.

00:04:53.360 This is what they would do.

00:04:54.140 They would they would they would they would call it they would unbundle their services.

00:04:59.180 That's sort of the phrase that would be used.

00:05:01.540 And what that means is that.

00:05:04.120 For instance, if a if a woman came in. 0.81

00:05:08.660 Got an abortion, paid three, four hundred bucks for it or more.

00:05:13.560 And then on the way out the door was handed a little bit of free birth control. 0.95

00:05:18.520 They would put that down in the books as two services provided and they would count them equally.

00:05:27.900 Even though the main point of the visit was the abortion and that's where all the money came from.

00:05:33.300 And that's the thing that was paid for because she got the birth control on the way out. 1.00

00:05:37.980 They call it two services provided.

00:05:39.740 So that would be as if let's say there was a car dealership and you were to go in, buy a car for thirty two thousand dollars.

00:05:53.800 But while you're waiting there and maybe the the the guy is going to get some paperwork for you to fill out.

00:05:59.940 So you go and you run to the to the vending machine real quick and get yourself a Pepsi.

00:06:04.680 So you buy a Pepsi and you buy a car and that would be like if the if the car dealership were to write that down in the books as two services provided and count them equally as if they're exactly the same thing.

00:06:17.800 As if you came there for the Pepsi and the car.

00:06:21.700 And as far as the car dealership is concerned, they're both as significant as you know that they are.

00:06:26.720 The purchases are equal in significance in their minds that that that's what it's like.

00:06:30.700 And then the car dealership can, you know, look at their books at the end of the day and say, look, we sold five cars and we sold five Pepsis.

00:06:40.000 So selling Pepsi is 50 percent of our business.

00:06:44.360 Doesn't make any sense.

00:06:46.500 And now it seems that after all these years, after saying three percent of our business, three percent of our business, three percent of our business.

00:06:54.520 Now, finally, they're admitting that it was all a lie.

00:06:59.700 Fifty years of a lie just exposed by Planned Parenthood, just admitted.

00:07:06.080 You know, it reminds me of the time at a National Abortion Federation conference.

00:07:11.960 And this was video that got very little attention from anyone.

00:07:14.960 But Lisa Harris is the director or was anyway, a few years ago, the director of Planned Parenthood of Planned Parenthood of Michigan.

00:07:24.240 And she was caught in an undercover video.

00:07:28.140 Saying to a crowd of people at a National Abortion Federation conference.

00:07:32.320 This is what she said.

00:07:34.500 She's talking about what points can be conceded to pro-lifers.

00:07:39.260 And this is what she says.

00:07:40.600 She says, given that we actually see the fetus the same way and given that we might actually both agree that there's violence in here, let's just give them all the violence.

00:07:52.340 It's a person.

00:07:53.620 It's killing.

00:07:55.040 Let's just give them that.

00:07:58.060 This again, director of Planned Parenthood of Michigan.

00:08:02.680 Speaking at a panel at a National Abortion Federation conference.

00:08:06.500 And she says, it's a person.

00:08:10.940 It's killing.

00:08:13.860 Those are two things, again, that a Planned Parenthood would never admit publicly.

00:08:18.800 It's a person and it's killing.

00:08:22.300 Yet, when you get them behind closed doors and they think that nobody else is listening, they're going to admit, well, yeah, of course it's a person that we're killing.

00:08:30.200 Now, everybody, all the so-called doctors and everybody, you know, people that work for Planned Parenthood, they all know what they're doing. 1.00

00:08:43.340 This whole idea that it's not killing a person, that's just stupidity that they feed to the lemmings in the public. 1.00

00:08:53.080 And then they sit back and almost scratch their heads, like, how are these people buying this? 1.00

00:09:00.700 Obviously, we're killing a person.

00:09:02.500 That's the whole point of the procedure. 0.99

00:09:04.360 It is specifically designed to kill somebody.

00:09:08.960 If there was no person to kill, you wouldn't be coming in for an abortion.

00:09:12.200 But in that case, at least, that's something that was admitted behind closed doors, as I said, when they thought nobody else was listening.

00:09:20.980 In the case of Leanna Nguyen, she's just coming out and saying, yeah, this is what we do.

00:09:27.720 We provide abortions.

00:09:29.480 That's our thing.

00:09:30.420 It's our core mission.

00:09:31.280 So then the question is, and I raise this question yet again.

00:09:37.480 I don't know why I keep bringing it up, you know, but will this finally lead to the defunding of Planned Parenthood?

00:09:47.120 I mean, can this finally be the thing?

00:09:50.460 Now that you've got the president of Planned Parenthood saying this is our core mission is to provide abortions. 0.90

00:09:55.420 And we're giving them $500 million a year in tax money.

00:09:59.840 Can this be the thing that defunds Planned Parenthood?

00:10:02.180 Well, no, no, of course not.

00:10:04.220 Of course not now, especially because the Republicans controlled Congress and the White House for two years.

00:10:10.980 That was their time to do it.

00:10:13.000 Remember, when Barack Obama was president for eight years, Republicans really wanted to defund Planned Parenthood.

00:10:20.680 And they came up with all these different bills that would defund Planned Parenthood.

00:10:24.100 And they said, oh, you know, we really want to do it.

00:10:27.320 But we've got, I mean, Obama's there.

00:10:28.960 He's just going to veto it.

00:10:30.180 Oh, shoot.

00:10:30.860 I mean, we'd love to.

00:10:32.040 We just can't.

00:10:33.620 And then Donald Trump gets into the White House and they control Congress.

00:10:37.520 And somehow this issue that they supposedly cared about for eight years and really wanted to do just slips their mind for two years.

00:10:43.560 And here's what I'm guessing, that now that Democrats control the House, Republicans are all of a sudden going to rediscover their passion for defunding Planned Parenthood.

00:10:55.700 Now they're going to decide that, oh, yeah, what was that thing we wanted to do?

00:10:59.160 Oh, yeah, defund Planned Parenthood.

00:11:01.000 Hey, guys, let's do that.

00:11:02.200 Oh, we can't now because the Democrats control the House. 0.59

00:11:05.220 Oh, man, we missed it again. 1.00

00:11:07.420 Again, absolute cowards, cowards and liars. 1.00

00:11:12.740 That is that's basically the story of of abortion and how abortion has remained legal all these years. 1.00

00:11:19.880 And how Planned Parenthood has remained funded all these years.

00:11:26.660 OK, let's get to some karmic news.

00:11:29.660 Starbucks.

00:11:31.080 You may recall the great bathroom outrage at Starbucks.

00:11:34.280 Of course, there are so many contrived outrages in a year that it's hard to keep track of all of them.

00:11:39.120 But this one was so phony and so divorced from anything resembling reality that it's really worth keeping in mind.

00:11:48.440 It's it's one that's that I've remembered.

00:11:50.700 Maybe you have as well.

00:11:52.000 But if you haven't just a quick refresher course.

00:11:54.260 This was back in April or May of last year, a Starbucks manager at a location in Philadelphia became the target of the pitchfork brigade after refusing restroom privileges to a couple of people who came in wanting to use the restroom.

00:12:13.600 The only problem was that the people who came in were not customers and they weren't buying anything.

00:12:21.120 And so the two men who happened to be black were told that, well, if you want to use the restroom, you have to buy something.

00:12:28.160 Hey, good news.

00:12:29.660 You can buy a coffee here for like two bucks or you could buy a bottle of water.

00:12:33.780 I mean, you could buy anything.

00:12:35.580 And you're a customer just like that.

00:12:37.400 And now you can use the bathroom.

00:12:38.540 Um, but they were, uh, they decided that they didn't want to use the bathroom.

00:12:44.780 So they, or they didn't want to buy anything.

00:12:46.400 So they couldn't, they couldn't use the bathroom.

00:12:48.240 This was not a policy that this manager invented on her own. 0.82

00:12:52.020 This was a corporate policy at Starbucks at the time.

00:12:55.180 And this is also a policy that many restaurants and stores enforce, uh, especially in urban areas, because you've got a lot of people coming in.

00:13:04.540 It's, it's very jammed, very crowded.

00:13:06.580 And so they need to make sure that the people that are taking up tables and using the facilities are actually customers.

00:13:13.640 So, um, the men sat down at a table after, you know, after asking to use a restroom, being told only customers can use a restroom, declining to buy something.

00:13:25.000 They then went and sat down at a table while still refusing to purchase something.

00:13:30.660 And so the manager goes over after they've just called attention to themselves like that.

00:13:35.840 Now she knows that they're there, not buying anything, taking up a table.

00:13:39.200 Again, this is a busy Starbucks.

00:13:41.060 It's not fair to take up a table.

00:13:42.980 Like if you've ever, if you've ever been into a Starbucks before, you know that tables can be hard to come by.

00:13:47.300 And so if you have your coffee and your little Danish or whatever that you bought and you can't sit down because there are two guys taking up a table who didn't even buy anything, that's not fair.

00:13:58.240 It doesn't make any sense for a store to allow that.

00:14:01.280 So she goes over to them and she says, Hey guys, if you want to sit at a table, you got to buy something.

00:14:07.320 And then this is, this was the context that came out later.

00:14:10.800 She offered, she offered to serve them right there at the table. 0.97

00:14:13.600 Like she was a waitress. 1.00

00:14:14.620 She said, I'll get you, can I get you a coffee?

00:14:16.760 Can I get you something?

00:14:18.200 And they still refuse to buy anything.

00:14:20.440 And finally, after refusing, the police were called because they were trespassing and the two guys were taken out in cuffs as they deserve to be.

00:14:28.700 Because if you are trespassing like that and you're not following the rules of an establishment and you're taking up space without buying something and you're asked to leave and you refuse, you deserve to be hauled out in handcuffs.

00:14:44.360 But of course, racism was immediately assumed despite a total lack of evidence to support the charge. 1.00

00:14:51.380 And the racism charge was especially idiotic. 0.99

00:14:54.260 Number one, because the woman was simply following corporate policy. 1.00

00:14:57.140 Number two, because it's a Starbucks in Philadelphia. 0.96

00:15:01.500 Presumably black people come into that store all the time.

00:15:05.140 Presumably this manager has interacted with and served black customers hundreds of times without any incident.

00:15:15.740 So now if you could, if anyone could have ever come up with evidence that she on a regular basis would kick out black customers for no reason,

00:15:25.980 well, then maybe now you have a reason to suspect that there's racism involved.

00:15:31.700 But if hundreds of black customers have come in and out and she has served them and there's been no incident and all of a sudden there's an incident with these two particular guys,

00:15:41.060 it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to assume that race had anything to do with it at all.

00:15:48.080 Nevertheless, the Starbucks CEO publicly threw this loyal employee under the bus and finally in their last act of corporate cowardice,

00:15:56.360 Starbucks reversed their restroom policy and made a big show of announcing that now anybody can come in, sit at the tables, use the bathroom.

00:16:04.480 You don't have to, you don't have to, you don't have to, you don't have to be a customer, it doesn't matter.

00:16:07.960 All right.

00:16:09.720 So that's the background, right?

00:16:11.360 Just to refresh your memories, fast forward a few months and here we are.

00:16:18.800 And now it's, it has been reported that certain Starbucks locations,

00:16:23.880 less than a year after announcing this enlightened new bathroom policy,

00:16:29.380 now are going to be installing special disposable boxes for used heroin needles in their bathrooms.

00:16:37.000 Okay.

00:16:38.160 They're also going to be removing trash cans from some of their bathrooms because the employees have expressed concern about getting pricked with needles when they change out the trash bags.

00:16:48.480 Um, there have been reports of condoms, alcohol bottles, blood stains on the floors and on the, and on the walls.

00:16:57.840 Um, ironically, this, this, um, free bathroom policy, this bathroom free for all has made the bathrooms less accessible.

00:17:08.540 There was a report in the New York post a few weeks ago about some, um, Starbucks in New York where you can't use any bathroom

00:17:18.260 because the stalls are closed for extended periods of time due to the New York post says prolonged cleaning efforts.

00:17:27.360 Um, you got to wonder what's going on in those bathrooms if they have to be shut for days to be cleaned.

00:17:34.800 Now it could be pointed out that Starbucks probably had many of these problems before the new policy.

00:17:45.060 So it's not like these problems just started now.

00:17:48.240 Yeah, fine.

00:17:50.020 That's exactly the point.

00:17:52.860 That's why the policy existed in the first place.

00:17:57.000 That's why stores and restaurants have policies like this.

00:18:01.960 And that's why these policies are especially enforced in urban areas.

00:18:06.840 Um, because a, it's just a fact of the matter that a spacious, private stink, single stall bathroom at a place like Starbucks in an urban area is a very attractive place for drug addicts and drunks and vagrants and other assorted, um, characters.

00:18:26.340 Most businesses, though, are not interested in becoming de facto homeless shelters or de facto halfway homes.

00:18:35.360 It's just, that's not the, Starbucks is in the business of selling coffee.

00:18:39.060 Uh, they're not in the business of providing, or at least they didn't used to be in the business

00:18:43.360 of providing safe spaces for heroin addicts to shoot up heroin, you know?

00:18:48.280 Um, and historically that's why they reserve their bathrooms and their tables for people who are actually interested in purchasing a product.

00:18:57.240 Now that's not a, that's not a fail proof plan.

00:18:59.980 Just because you have that policy doesn't mean you're necessarily going to be stopped, going to be able to stop everyone from going into the bathroom to, uh, get high or drink or, you know, engage in other, uh, sorts of activities, messy activities.

00:19:16.080 But, uh, it's still relatively effective.

00:19:20.860 It's a relatively effective way to stop that stuff from happening in your bathrooms. 0.93

00:19:24.560 There's a reason why the stores now, or some stores now need needle disposal boxes.

00:19:30.800 And that only became necessary after they changed the policy.

00:19:35.960 So Starbucks changes this bathroom policy says, okay, anyone can come in, even if you're not a customer.

00:19:43.480 And now they need special boxes to dispose of heroin needles.

00:19:46.980 What does that teach us?

00:19:48.520 What, what have we learned here is the question.

00:19:51.740 Um, now it's likely that the people at corporate Starbucks have learned precisely nothing at all.

00:19:58.940 But the rest of us, I think, maybe have discovered yet again,

00:20:05.260 that caving to the unthinking, outraged masses will profit you nothing in the end.

00:20:12.900 There's no reason to do it.

00:20:14.420 Because if you abandon a thoughtful, well-reasoned path,

00:20:19.200 if you have a, a reasonable policy that you give up on, that you abandon, 0.99

00:20:24.140 just because some imbeciles are shouting words at you that end with ist, or phobic, 0.99

00:20:30.660 you are going to end up paying a much higher price than the price that the imbeciles may have been able to extract 1.00

00:20:36.580 if you had not caved to them. 1.00

00:20:38.960 And in Starbucks, in the case of Starbucks, you're going to wind up shamed and embarrassed

00:20:43.740 with bloodstains on your floor and heroin needles in your trash can.

00:20:48.000 But at least nobody will call you a racist, I guess. 0.98

00:20:54.500 That is, until they come back and think of another reason to call you a racist.

00:20:58.780 Who knows? Maybe the heroin disposal boxes, maybe those are racist too.

00:21:05.000 Maybe next we'll have the, um, the outrage mob saying, no, you know what?

00:21:09.060 Uh, heroin addicts, they have every right to, to leave their needles wherever they want. 0.96

00:21:14.160 How dare you?

00:21:14.860 If a heroin addict wants to come into your bathroom and leave a needle just sitting there on the ground,

00:21:20.420 that is his God-given right.

00:21:23.000 And it is, it is elitist and classist and racist and sexist somehow for you to, uh,

00:21:29.920 for you to provide these boxes for, for people, these shameful boxes that exclude and otherize

00:21:37.380 and make them feel less than other people.

00:21:40.040 You know, who knows?

00:21:40.540 Maybe that, maybe that'll be the next argument because it never ends.

00:21:43.920 Once you start caving to them, it never ends.

00:21:46.380 They're going to keep coming back and back and back and there's never an end to it.

00:21:51.260 Finally, um, last thing today, quickly.

00:21:55.380 I thought this was worth mentioning, um, tipping flight attendants.

00:22:02.960 That is the newest trend apparently.

00:22:05.980 Um, and it's mainly one airline, frontier airlines that's on the forefront here.

00:22:12.240 They will now give you the option.

00:22:14.520 So generous.

00:22:15.440 They've given you this option to, um, to tip your flight attendant.

00:22:20.500 Yeah.

00:22:21.220 Uh, no, no way.

00:22:24.060 Look, I'm a proponent of tipping.

00:22:25.900 Okay.

00:22:26.600 I like to think of myself as a good tipper.

00:22:30.020 Um, tip the waitress, tip the pizza delivery guy, tip housekeeping at a hotel, tip your Uber driver.

00:22:37.800 I'm all about that.

00:22:38.920 Fine.

00:22:40.100 But the main thing with all of these different people who you tip is that number one, they are low paying jobs where the tips account for a large percentage of their overall income.

00:22:51.540 Being a flight attendant is not really a low paying job.

00:22:54.020 I think the average income for a flight attendant is 50 or $55,000 a year.

00:22:58.040 Um, also these people, they can really make your customer service experience negative or positive depending on how well you tip.

00:23:08.500 So there's an incentive, you know, it's, it's a bit of a quid pro quo thing.

00:23:12.560 There's an incentive to, if you tip them, then it kind of greases the wheels and it makes things, things run easier for you.

00:23:19.100 Um, when I delivered pizzas and this is just something that you should know, I mean, it's, it's, it should be obvious, but just so you know,

00:23:27.820 this is the way it works with, with pizza delivery.

00:23:29.700 I deliver pizzas for a little bit and, um, you better believe that I remembered who the non tippers were.

00:23:36.720 I mean, that, that, that stuck out to me and worse still the people who tip like a quarter somehow there's just something about it, but people who tip nothing, they were bad.

00:23:48.780 But somehow even worse than that were the people who like, if, if the, um, if the total was 1987, they'll give you a 20 and say, keep the change.

00:24:00.280 As if, as if they're doing, doing you a big favor, keep, keep the change.

00:24:04.440 Oh, thank you.

00:24:05.240 13 cents.

00:24:05.980 That's my tip.

00:24:06.520 Thank you so much.

00:24:07.120 I would rather that you demand exact change back, which actually had the guy do that once he demanded exact change.

00:24:15.960 I didn't have it.

00:24:16.820 So he demanded that I go back to the store to get him his exact change and then bring it back to him, which I did because I had no choice, but then I made sure. 0.99

00:24:28.020 And I let everybody in the store know this guy is a huge jerk. 0.98

00:24:31.380 And so if he orders a pizza and it happens to show up four hours late, I mean, you know, it happens. 0.99

00:24:37.720 And so I would keep, I would keep track of that.

00:24:39.520 And I made sure that, um, if, if you tipped well, I made sure that your order was right.

00:24:43.100 I made sure the pizza got to you soon.

00:24:44.980 And, uh, who knows?

00:24:45.880 Sometimes I might, I might accidentally bring you an extra box of box of chicken wings or something.

00:24:50.460 You know, you scratch my back, I scratch yours.

00:24:52.480 It's that kind of thing.

00:24:53.760 Bad tippers are always punished.

00:24:55.320 Good tippers, um, are, are rewarded.

00:24:58.320 But an air, an airline is a, is a totally different thing.

00:25:01.420 An airplane is a totally different thing.

00:25:03.840 Mainly because airlines think of new ways to make the experience more miserable and more expensive every year.

00:25:10.660 You know, they get together and they say, well, you know, it seems like our customers aren't broke and miserable enough.

00:25:17.020 So how can we solve that problem?

00:25:18.520 And someone says, oh, I know what we should do.

00:25:20.240 Let's remove leg room altogether. 1.00

00:25:22.360 And then you have to pay a $299 upcharge if you want the privilege of having blood circulate through your legs during the trip.

00:25:30.900 And so that, you know, they're doing that kind of stuff every year.

00:25:32.940 And it just removes any incentive to tip in my mind.

00:25:38.280 It's expensive enough as it is.

00:25:40.040 Besides, I don't really need the flight attendant to do anything for me on the flight.

00:25:44.240 I bring my own snacks.

00:25:45.200 I bring my own drink.

00:25:46.620 I already know that the seat cushion is a flotation device.

00:25:49.440 You don't need to tell me that every single time.

00:25:51.480 And, you know, it's great to know that, by the way, because if the plane happens to crash into the ocean,

00:25:55.340 it'll be good to know that my mangled, bloodied, dead carcass can float on the cushion for a while before it's consumed by sharks.

00:26:02.560 So that's nice.

00:26:04.400 But other than that, I don't really need the flight attendant to do anything for me.

00:26:08.960 Thus, the incentive to tip is even less.

00:26:11.860 I don't know.

00:26:14.360 What do you think, though?

00:26:15.320 Should flight attendants be added into the category of customer service people that we tip?

00:26:22.920 I'm saying no, but who knows?

00:26:25.160 Maybe I'm wrong.

00:26:26.100 It happens every once in a while that I'm wrong, though rarely.

00:26:29.980 All right.

00:26:30.280 We'll leave it there.

00:26:30.920 Thanks for watching, everybody.

00:26:31.760 Thanks for listening.

00:26:32.840 Godspeed.

00:26:33.280 I'm Michael Knowles, host of The Michael Knowles Show.

00:26:43.020 It's a fact that fact-checkers are checking facts, and it's a fact that fact-checkers have no idea what a fact really is.

00:26:48.220 We will analyze the history of fact-checking and facts themselves.

00:26:51.300 Then the APA deems masculinity harmful.
