00:00:00.000Today on the Matt Walsh Show, remember when Starbucks flung open its doors and announced that everyone, even non-customers, could use their bathrooms?
00:00:08.700Well, how did that work out? Not very well, it turns out. We'll talk about that.
00:00:13.180Also, the president of Planned Parenthood makes a stunning and honest admission.
00:00:18.200Stunning because it's honest. And should we tip our flight attendants?
00:00:21.720That's the question that we'll also tackle today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:25.260It's always sort of breathtaking whenever we get a little bit of honesty out of Planned Parenthood.
00:00:36.700You never expect it because the abortion industry runs on lies. Deception.
00:00:41.680OK, that's their that's their primary fuel source, that and the blood of the innocent.
00:00:45.880So 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.
00:00:55.260And 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.
00:01:04.620So that happened this week. Leanna Wynn is the new president of Planned Parenthood after the most prolific mass murderer in history.
00:01:12.300Cecile Richards stepped down. Leanna Wynn took her place. Leanna Wynn goes by Dr. Wynn.
00:01:18.260But I'm not going to call her doctor because she's a doctor in the same way that John Wayne Gacy was a clown.
00:01:23.880OK, 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.
00:01:30.820All right. But Wynn was profiled by BuzzFeed recently and the BuzzFeed article claims that Wynn wants to focus on non-abortion services.
00:01:43.300She wants Planned Parenthood to focus on the non-abortion part and kind of highlight that and do more of that.
00:01:49.440Well, Wynn took issue with this. And here's what she tweeted.
00:01:52.980OK, she said, this is the president of Planned Parenthood, by the way. All right.
00:01:57.020Just to reiterate, she said, I am always happy to do interviews, but these headlines completely misconstrue my vision for Planned Parenthood.
00:02:04.720First, our core mission is providing, protecting and expanding access to abortion and reproductive health care.
00:02:10.420We will never back down from that fight. It is a fundamental human right and women's lives are at stake.
00:02:14.920OK. Again, first, our core mission is providing, protecting and expanding access to abortion.
00:02:25.780Core mission. She didn't even say that's one of our core missions.
00:02:31.240That's that's a core. She said, that's our core mission.
00:02:37.460Providing, protecting and expanding access to abortion.
00:02:40.800Now, 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.
00:02:51.060You'll hear that and you'll say, yeah, so obviously Planned Parenthood, they that's what they do.
00:02:55.180They do abortions. Well, yes, I know that. You know that.
00:02:59.020But that's not what Planned Parenthood has been saying about itself for the last 50 years.
00:03:04.800And 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.
00:03:12.500They have always said that abortion is just a tiny part of what they do, a tiny, almost insignificant sort of afterthought.
00:03:22.300They've said that abortion is 3 percent of their business.
00:03:26.300That's the number that we've been hearing over and over again for decades.
00:03:30.580Abortion is 3 percent of our business.
00:03:32.860Now, if something is 3 percent of your business, can you really say that it's your core mission?
00:03:43.880If 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?
00:03:59.380If that's your core mission, then you're really bad at it.
00:04:03.680Well, the 3 percent figure was always nonsense.
00:04:06.580And all you had to do was look at the look at the numbers.
00:04:09.860They've they've they've they've been saying for years that abortion is 3 percent of their business.
00:04:13.760Yet 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.
00:04:31.580So 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.
00:04:38.320Yet they've been saying for years that it's only 3 percent number one source of revenue.
00:05:39.740So 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.
00:05:53.800But while you're waiting there and maybe the the the guy is going to get some paperwork for you to fill out.
00:05:59.940So you go and you run to the to the vending machine real quick and get yourself a Pepsi.
00:06:04.680So 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.
00:06:17.800As if you came there for the Pepsi and the car.
00:06:21.700And as far as the car dealership is concerned, they're both as significant as you know that they are.
00:06:26.720The purchases are equal in significance in their minds that that that's what it's like.
00:06:30.700And 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.
00:06:40.000So selling Pepsi is 50 percent of our business.
00:06:46.500And 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.
00:06:54.520Now, finally, they're admitting that it was all a lie.
00:06:59.700Fifty years of a lie just exposed by Planned Parenthood, just admitted.
00:07:06.080You know, it reminds me of the time at a National Abortion Federation conference.
00:07:11.960And this was video that got very little attention from anyone.
00:07:14.960But Lisa Harris is the director or was anyway, a few years ago, the director of Planned Parenthood of Planned Parenthood of Michigan.
00:07:24.240And she was caught in an undercover video.
00:07:28.140Saying to a crowd of people at a National Abortion Federation conference.
00:07:40.600She 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.
00:08:22.300Yet, 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.
00:08:30.200Now, everybody, all the so-called doctors and everybody, you know, people that work for Planned Parenthood, they all know what they're doing.
00:08:43.340This whole idea that it's not killing a person, that's just stupidity that they feed to the lemmings in the public.
00:08:53.080And then they sit back and almost scratch their heads, like, how are these people buying this?
00:09:02.500That's the whole point of the procedure.
00:09:04.360It is specifically designed to kill somebody.
00:09:08.960If there was no person to kill, you wouldn't be coming in for an abortion.
00:09:12.200But in that case, at least, that's something that was admitted behind closed doors, as I said, when they thought nobody else was listening.
00:09:20.980In the case of Leanna Nguyen, she's just coming out and saying, yeah, this is what we do.
00:10:33.620And then Donald Trump gets into the White House and they control Congress.
00:10:37.520And somehow this issue that they supposedly cared about for eight years and really wanted to do just slips their mind for two years.
00:10:43.560And 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.
00:10:55.700Now they're going to decide that, oh, yeah, what was that thing we wanted to do?
00:11:52.000But if you haven't just a quick refresher course.
00:11:54.260This 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.
00:12:13.600The only problem was that the people who came in were not customers and they weren't buying anything.
00:12:21.120And 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.
00:12:38.540Um, but they were, uh, they decided that they didn't want to use the bathroom.
00:12:44.780So they, or they didn't want to buy anything.
00:12:46.400So they couldn't, they couldn't use the bathroom.
00:12:48.240This was not a policy that this manager invented on her own.
00:12:52.020This was a corporate policy at Starbucks at the time.
00:12:55.180And 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.
00:13:06.580And so they need to make sure that the people that are taking up tables and using the facilities are actually customers.
00:13:13.640So, 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.
00:13:25.000They then went and sat down at a table while still refusing to purchase something.
00:13:30.660And so the manager goes over after they've just called attention to themselves like that.
00:13:35.840Now she knows that they're there, not buying anything, taking up a table.
00:13:42.980Like if you've ever, if you've ever been into a Starbucks before, you know that tables can be hard to come by.
00:13:47.300And 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.
00:13:58.240It doesn't make any sense for a store to allow that.
00:14:01.280So she goes over to them and she says, Hey guys, if you want to sit at a table, you got to buy something.
00:14:07.320And then this is, this was the context that came out later.
00:14:10.800She offered, she offered to serve them right there at the table.
00:14:18.200And they still refuse to buy anything.
00:14:20.440And 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.
00:14:28.700Because 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.
00:14:44.360But of course, racism was immediately assumed despite a total lack of evidence to support the charge.
00:14:51.380And the racism charge was especially idiotic.
00:14:54.260Number one, because the woman was simply following corporate policy.
00:14:57.140Number two, because it's a Starbucks in Philadelphia.
00:15:01.500Presumably black people come into that store all the time.
00:15:05.140Presumably this manager has interacted with and served black customers hundreds of times without any incident.
00:15:15.740So 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,
00:15:25.980well, then maybe now you have a reason to suspect that there's racism involved.
00:15:31.700But 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,
00:15:41.060it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to assume that race had anything to do with it at all.
00:15:48.080Nevertheless, the Starbucks CEO publicly threw this loyal employee under the bus and finally in their last act of corporate cowardice,
00:15:56.360Starbucks reversed their restroom policy and made a big show of announcing that now anybody can come in, sit at the tables, use the bathroom.
00:16:04.480You 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.
00:16:38.160They'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.
00:16:48.480Um, there have been reports of condoms, alcohol bottles, blood stains on the floors and on the, and on the walls.
00:16:57.840Um, ironically, this, this, um, free bathroom policy, this bathroom free for all has made the bathrooms less accessible.
00:17:08.540There 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
00:17:18.260because the stalls are closed for extended periods of time due to the New York post says prolonged cleaning efforts.
00:17:27.360Um, you got to wonder what's going on in those bathrooms if they have to be shut for days to be cleaned.
00:17:34.800Now it could be pointed out that Starbucks probably had many of these problems before the new policy.
00:17:45.060So it's not like these problems just started now.
00:17:52.860That's why the policy existed in the first place.
00:17:57.000That's why stores and restaurants have policies like this.
00:18:01.960And that's why these policies are especially enforced in urban areas.
00:18:06.840Um, 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.
00:18:26.340Most businesses, though, are not interested in becoming de facto homeless shelters or de facto halfway homes.
00:18:35.360It's just, that's not the, Starbucks is in the business of selling coffee.
00:18:39.060Uh, they're not in the business of providing, or at least they didn't used to be in the business
00:18:43.360of providing safe spaces for heroin addicts to shoot up heroin, you know?
00:18:48.280Um, and historically that's why they reserve their bathrooms and their tables for people who are actually interested in purchasing a product.
00:18:57.240Now that's not a, that's not a fail proof plan.
00:18:59.980Just 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.
00:19:16.080But, uh, it's still relatively effective.
00:19:20.860It's a relatively effective way to stop that stuff from happening in your bathrooms.
00:19:24.560There's a reason why the stores now, or some stores now need needle disposal boxes.
00:19:30.800And that only became necessary after they changed the policy.
00:19:35.960So Starbucks changes this bathroom policy says, okay, anyone can come in, even if you're not a customer.
00:19:43.480And now they need special boxes to dispose of heroin needles.
00:22:40.100But 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.
00:22:51.540Being a flight attendant is not really a low paying job.
00:22:54.020I think the average income for a flight attendant is 50 or $55,000 a year.
00:22:58.040Um, also these people, they can really make your customer service experience negative or positive depending on how well you tip.
00:23:08.500So there's an incentive, you know, it's, it's a bit of a quid pro quo thing.
00:23:12.560There's an incentive to, if you tip them, then it kind of greases the wheels and it makes things, things run easier for you.
00:23:19.100Um, 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,
00:23:27.820this is the way it works with, with pizza delivery.
00:23:29.700I deliver pizzas for a little bit and, um, you better believe that I remembered who the non tippers were.
00:23:36.720I 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.
00:23:48.780But 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.
00:24:00.280As if, as if they're doing, doing you a big favor, keep, keep the change.
00:24:16.820So 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.
00:24:28.020And I let everybody in the store know this guy is a huge jerk.
00:24:31.380And so if he orders a pizza and it happens to show up four hours late, I mean, you know, it happens.
00:24:37.720And so I would keep, I would keep track of that.
00:24:39.520And I made sure that, um, if, if you tipped well, I made sure that your order was right.
00:24:43.100I made sure the pizza got to you soon.
