The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 300 - Another Absurd Racism Hoax Is Exposed

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a Democratic lawmaker claims that she was the victim of a racist verbal assault at the grocery store.

00:00:07.600 She made this claim, the media bought it, Democrats bought it, the left bought it, they amplified it, they went with it uncritically.

00:00:13.560 And then it turns out, shockingly, twist ending, there's more to the story than she originally presented.

00:00:19.520 So we'll talk about that today. 0.96

00:00:20.860 Also, a man in Canada is trying to legally force women to touch his genitals. 0.95

00:00:26.760 And he might actually succeed because he claims to be a woman. 0.96

00:00:29.680 This is an insane case, which just shows all the problems with the leftist gender ideology. 0.56

00:00:37.380 And we're going to talk about that today also on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:42.080 So my wife was out of town all last week for the entire week, and she came back on Saturday.

00:00:48.060 You know, there's that whole stereotype that men are incompetent parents who don't know how to function and can't take care of their own kids, especially if the wife isn't around.

00:00:58.860 Now, I'm proud to say that that's not me.

00:01:00.900 And in my experience, that's not how most men are.

00:01:03.200 You know, we can take care of our kids.

00:01:05.200 Perfectly capable.

00:01:05.900 But as a dad, you know, I just do things a little bit differently.

00:01:10.160 That's all.

00:01:10.520 It's a difference in approach, really, is the difference.

00:01:14.660 Like, for instance, the day before she got back, I realized that I had not bathed the kids all week, you know, which was just it was an oversight.

00:01:25.660 I just, I didn't think, I guess my sense of smell isn't quite up to par with my wife, especially because she's pregnant now.

00:01:33.200 So I just didn't, I didn't sense that they hadn't been bathed.

00:01:36.740 And so then I realized that they needed to be, mainly because my daughter said to me, hey, we haven't taken a bath in a week, Dad.

00:01:43.560 Like, what's going on?

00:01:44.640 And so what I decided to do was, rather than, well, my wife will do, she'll give them each a bath separately. 0.98

00:01:50.440 And it's just this whole long, it takes like two hours to go through all the bath.

00:01:54.700 Well, I thought, I don't have time for that.

00:01:57.140 So I just lathered them down with Dawn dish soap, and I had them run through the sprinkler.

00:02:03.000 And they came out smelling like just washed plates right out of the dishwasher.

00:02:08.880 It was great.

00:02:09.420 And they had fun.

00:02:10.620 It required no effort on my part.

00:02:12.220 It took 10 minutes.

00:02:13.700 And it's all about efficiency, really.

00:02:15.740 That's the main thing.

00:02:16.500 I think with dads, we are very efficient.

00:02:20.440 Whereas, you know, we're not going to win points for style, like women will with their parenting. 1.00

00:02:26.180 But we still, we get the job done, is the point.

00:02:28.560 At the end of the day, the job is done.

00:02:30.340 And everyone goes home happy.

00:02:33.600 All right.

00:04:04.760 Okay, now let's talk about the saga of Erica Thomas, the ballad of Erica Thomas, maybe we should say.

00:04:13.420 Jussie Thomas, Erica Smollett, pick a name.

00:04:17.480 Erica Thomas is a state representative in Georgia, Democrat, of course. 0.89

00:04:21.560 A black woman. 1.00

00:04:23.540 She claimed over the weekend that she was accosted, verbally assaulted by a racist white man at the grocery store.

00:04:33.160 And she says she was in the express lane.

00:04:35.100 She had too many items, which she admits.

00:04:37.500 And her reason for this is that she says she was nine months pregnant.

00:04:41.260 I'm not sure how being nine months pregnant means that you have to be in the express lane, but that's what she says.

00:04:48.540 Never mind that for now. 0.98

00:04:49.680 So she says that a guy came up to her, a white guy, and said, you lazy son of a bee, go back where you came from. 0.97

00:04:59.760 Because she had too many items in the self-check, or the express lane. 0.92

00:05:03.580 She recorded a video, so we're going to go through, there's a couple video clips we're going to play here as we follow this story and watch it, you know, come to its climax and its conclusion.

00:05:14.880 It's just, it's a, it's a kind of a three-act play here we've got.

00:05:18.800 So here's the first act.

00:05:20.140 She recorded a video, a live stream, talking about this incident.

00:05:24.240 Very emotional.

00:05:25.860 She's in tears.

00:05:26.740 Watch this.

00:05:27.220 You know, I decided, I decided to go live because I'm very upset because people are getting really out of control with this.

00:05:43.380 With this white privilege stuff, I'm at the grocery store, and I'm in the 10 aisle, the aisle that says 10 items or less.

00:05:56.940 Yes, I have 15 items, but I'm not much pregnant, and I can't stand up for long. 1.00

00:06:02.160 So, this white man comes up to me and says, you lazy son of a bitch. 1.00

00:06:10.500 You need to go back where you came from. 1.00

00:06:15.240 And he says that.

00:06:17.440 I says, sir, you don't even know me.

00:06:19.320 I'm not lazy.

00:06:20.900 I'm not much pregnant. 1.00

00:06:22.880 He says, you're ignorant. 0.99

00:06:26.040 Okay, now I'm, look, I'm no prophet. 0.95

00:06:28.080 I am no seer of the future, but I saw that video on Saturday morning or whatever it was, and I immediately knew that the story is not exactly how she's telling it.

00:06:49.420 My BS radar was just blaring.

00:06:53.140 I could almost hear it in my ears.

00:06:55.320 I should probably get that checked out, actually, by a neurologist.

00:06:57.380 But it was going off big time, watching that video.

00:07:01.820 I mean, even if it was, even if it did happen the way she says it did, even if it was totally true, collapsing into tears on livestream is completely phony and contrived.

00:07:15.760 So, at a minimum, you know that her reaction is phony, at a minimum.

00:07:19.460 Whatever happened to people having disagreements, you have run-ins, heated exchanges with strangers, and then you just, then you continue about your day.

00:07:29.260 Whatever happened to that?

00:07:30.260 Is nobody capable of that anymore?

00:07:32.220 Why do you need to tell everybody?

00:07:33.720 Why are you sobbing about it, like a child?

00:07:36.500 I mean, I've had words with strangers in public before.

00:07:40.000 It might surprise you to learn.

00:07:41.560 I've had conflicts before with people, sometimes over stuff like this, the minutia of daily life.

00:07:48.880 And I don't go home and just collapse and go, oh my gosh, she was so mean to me.

00:07:54.240 I don't do that.

00:07:55.540 I've never done that.

00:07:57.760 You just, you're an adult.

00:07:59.380 You go about your day.

00:08:01.380 But, regardless, it was obvious to me that, at a minimum, she's not telling the whole story.

00:08:08.880 You know, if your BS detector isn't going off watching that, then you must not have a BS detector.

00:08:14.460 You're the kind of person who, you must be, the only way you could fall for that is if you're the kind of person who gets an email from a Nigerian prince

00:08:21.860 telling you that you're going to inherit $10 million if you only send your social security number and your bank account information.

00:08:27.900 And you actually, and you go, oh, my life has been changed for the better.

00:08:34.300 You have to be that level of gullible to fall for what you just saw there.

00:08:42.240 Because the story doesn't make sense.

00:08:44.640 First of all, she's in the wrong checkout line and the guy comes up and says, hey, go back where you came from.

00:08:49.880 Even from the logic, even from the perspective of a racist, just kind of trying to see things with racist logic for a minute,

00:09:01.380 even from that perspective, it doesn't make sense.

00:09:05.300 Even as a racist, it doesn't make sense.

00:09:08.680 The whole idea that a racist guy would conveniently use that phrase,

00:09:12.920 in that context, the phrase which has been the discussion, the subject of so much discussion this week,

00:09:19.880 and he just so happens to come up and use it for no apparent reason to a Democrat lawmaker.

00:09:27.300 Come on.

00:09:29.060 This seems just like Smollett.

00:09:31.140 It seems just like Smollett

00:09:32.560 because it is a Democrat's idea of what a Republican racist sounds like.

00:09:39.720 This is someone who, this is their fantasy

00:09:43.120 of what a racist encounter would be like.

00:09:47.460 In their fantasies, 0.50

00:09:48.820 Republicans are the kind of people who just run around screaming,

00:09:51.480 go back where you came from, this is MAGA country,

00:09:54.260 to random strangers for no reason.

00:09:56.400 But despite the lack of believability here,

00:10:00.040 still the left seized on her story.

00:10:02.360 The media reported it, amplified it uncritically.

00:10:05.100 We've done this over and over again.

00:10:06.320 We did it with Smollett.

00:10:07.080 We did it with Covington.

00:10:08.140 Over and over again, we see this.

00:10:10.160 There's no questions are asked.

00:10:14.460 It's just, oh, she said it happened, so it happened.

00:10:18.380 Hashtag I stand with Erica trended on Twitter,

00:10:21.200 which, sidebar for a minute,

00:10:22.720 can we all, can we stop standing with people?

00:10:24.840 I mean, can we have one week on social media

00:10:28.060 where there isn't a hashtag, I stand with whoever?

00:10:31.960 Every other day, we're all standing with somebody.

00:10:35.100 What does it even mean we stand with them?

00:10:37.880 What does that mean?

00:10:38.800 You sent a hashtag, you stand with them.

00:10:42.020 There's no, there's no,

00:10:44.240 doesn't mean anything in the first place.

00:10:46.460 I stand with Erica, Democrats blamed it on Trump.

00:10:50.060 This is Trump's America, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

00:10:53.160 Well, this is where things get interesting.

00:10:54.840 And Thomas, Erica Thomas went back to the store

00:10:59.040 where this hate crime had occurred, allegedly,

00:11:02.460 to be interviewed by reporters.

00:11:04.760 Remember, she's nine months pregnant, 0.90

00:11:06.060 and she can't stand.

00:11:08.640 And that's why she was in the express lane.

00:11:10.480 But she can stand out in the heat in the parking lot

00:11:12.580 and talk to a reporter.

00:11:13.800 She could do that.

00:11:15.100 So you put a camera in front of her face,

00:11:17.560 she could stand all day.

00:11:19.600 But no, she couldn't stand for a couple of minutes

00:11:22.960 in the regular checkout line in the air conditioning.

00:11:26.420 Couldn't do that.

00:11:28.580 So she goes back to talk about it.

00:11:31.760 And while she is giving her,

00:11:37.020 telling her tale,

00:11:38.780 doing her whole routine,

00:11:40.400 the guy, the alleged racist,

00:11:42.240 shows up at the parking lot

00:11:44.140 and confronts her.

00:11:45.540 And already you know,

00:11:46.400 look, if this actually happened,

00:11:48.960 and this guy really, you know,

00:11:50.760 is a racist and is being exposed, 0.92

00:11:52.600 there is no way he shows up 0.97

00:11:55.880 to be on,

00:11:57.020 to put his face on camera

00:11:58.540 to, you know,

00:12:01.060 to announce that he was the guy.

00:12:03.340 If this is actually true,

00:12:04.660 there's no way the guy shows up.

00:12:06.120 So the very fact that he even showed up

00:12:07.940 already tells you that,

00:12:09.200 okay, you know,

00:12:10.720 if your BS detector was going off,

00:12:12.580 you were right.

00:12:13.920 He shows up,

00:12:14.880 he accuses her of lying,

00:12:16.520 and here's the local media report.

00:12:18.980 Here's, watch how this all unfolds.

00:12:21.220 I'm a liar about what?

00:12:22.200 Everything that happened.

00:12:23.440 Do you feel bad?

00:12:24.240 Me telling you to go back

00:12:25.280 where you came from?

00:12:25.940 Do you feel bad right yesterday?

00:12:27.500 Did I say that?

00:12:28.360 Yes, are you serious?

00:12:29.540 So you didn't say that?

00:12:29.840 Did I say it?

00:12:30.300 What did you say to me then?

00:12:30.960 Is it on video?

00:12:31.640 What did you say to me? 0.99

00:12:32.660 I called you a lazy b*********. 1.00

00:12:34.960 Okay, that's all you did. 0.99

00:12:36.100 That's the worst thing I said.

00:12:36.880 That's all you said to me?

00:12:37.840 Yes.

00:12:38.200 Okay, because that makes you look better

00:12:39.340 because everybody's after you now.

00:12:40.580 So that makes you look better to say that.

00:12:41.800 I know what I said.

00:12:43.020 She's doing it for political purposes, period. 1.00

00:12:45.940 Like I said earlier,

00:12:47.180 I'm a Democrat.

00:12:48.560 I will vote Democrat the rest of my life.

00:12:51.280 Okay?

00:12:51.560 So to call me and what she wants to believe

00:12:53.960 for her political purposes, 0.61

00:12:56.840 to make it black, white, brown, or whatever,

00:13:00.000 it's so untrue.

00:13:01.340 He needs to be held accountable

00:13:02.740 because people can't just go out in public areas

00:13:07.000 and berate pregnant women, 1.00

00:13:09.780 whether it's because I was pregnant, 0.83

00:13:11.580 whether it's because I was black.

00:13:13.660 Okay, so this guy is a Democrat.

00:13:17.400 He's a lifelong Democrat.

00:13:19.220 He says he's going to continue being a Democrat.

00:13:20.680 He's a Cuban, too.

00:13:22.920 He said he's Cuban.

00:13:23.960 I don't think they showed that in that report,

00:13:26.680 but he said he was Cuban.

00:13:28.060 He's a Democrat.

00:13:30.240 He admits that he called her the B word,

00:13:32.360 but he says the rest never happened.

00:13:34.800 And you see that moment

00:13:35.760 where they're looking each other in the eyes,

00:13:38.420 and he's saying to her,

00:13:39.400 you know this didn't happen.

00:13:40.380 And right there in that moment,

00:13:43.300 if you are able to detect liars,

00:13:46.640 you can tell right there from that exchange,

00:13:48.920 she knows she's lying.

00:13:51.600 But what it appears is,

00:13:53.500 here's the interesting thing.

00:13:55.720 He admits that he called her the B word.

00:13:58.100 So he admits that he called a pregnant woman the B word.

00:14:02.220 And so Thomas made a classic blunder.

00:14:08.280 She played the wrong victim card.

00:14:10.820 Okay, so in the victim game,

00:14:13.800 she played the wrong card.

00:14:15.600 She could have cried over sexism. 1.00

00:14:18.180 That's how she should have framed this.

00:14:19.620 If she had just said that this was sexism,

00:14:21.920 that she was attacked,

00:14:23.400 accosted,

00:14:24.720 verbally assaulted by a 0.58

00:14:26.220 by a sexist, 0.99

00:14:28.840 toxically masculine, 0.99

00:14:30.760 you know, 0.98

00:14:31.600 misogynist,

00:14:32.540 then I think she takes the win here. 0.87

00:14:35.720 She wins.

00:14:37.120 Because the guy said it.

00:14:38.800 Now, I'm not saying that he's actually sexist

00:14:40.680 for calling her the B word.

00:14:42.020 I'm also not saying that's an appropriate language to use.

00:14:44.920 But it sounds like 1.00

00:14:46.560 she was being a jerk. 1.00

00:14:48.240 She was in the wrong checkout line. 1.00

00:14:49.960 He came up to her, confronted her.

00:14:51.300 It sounds like there was some kind of exchange.

00:14:52.580 They were going back and forth.

00:14:53.580 They were hurling things.

00:14:54.560 He said some things.

00:14:55.400 She said some things.

00:14:55.960 That's what it sounds like.

00:14:58.900 So it doesn't make him a sexist.

00:15:00.300 But my point is,

00:15:01.260 she could have played that card.

00:15:02.780 That would have been the smarter card to play

00:15:04.420 because he did say the word.

00:15:05.900 And that's all that really,

00:15:06.860 as far as society is concerned,

00:15:08.220 all you need to do is say the word.

00:15:09.900 And you are the ism 0.99

00:15:11.460 that is attached to that word.

00:15:13.820 But she went for the racism card

00:15:16.040 because she just couldn't help herself.

00:15:19.400 She had to make it a race thing. 0.93

00:15:22.200 It's compulsive.

00:15:23.080 She had to do it.

00:15:24.380 Couldn't control herself.

00:15:25.960 And so she takes the L instead.

00:15:28.220 And here she is finally,

00:15:30.120 officially taking the L.

00:15:32.060 Watch.

00:15:32.780 He said, go back.

00:15:33.960 You know, those types of words.

00:15:35.280 I don't want to say he said,

00:15:36.640 go back to your country 1.00

00:15:37.940 or go back to where you came from.

00:15:39.280 But he was making those types of references

00:15:40.960 is what I remember.

00:15:42.480 Oh, OK.

00:15:43.240 OK.

00:15:43.500 Well, so so so he didn't actually say

00:15:46.440 go back where you came from.

00:15:47.840 As in the whole thing

00:15:49.400 that made this story go viral,

00:15:51.180 the whole source of her victimhood claim,

00:15:53.420 all the racism stuff,

00:15:54.860 the thing that made her

00:15:55.880 that reduced her to tears,

00:15:57.280 the thing that she was crying over

00:15:58.840 didn't happen.

00:16:00.660 Now she says,

00:16:01.460 well, he didn't really say

00:16:02.820 go back where you came from

00:16:03.840 or go back to your country. 0.69

00:16:05.280 But now now she says

00:16:06.840 that he just said go back.

00:16:09.240 And even if he said that much,

00:16:11.000 which it seems like

00:16:11.840 maybe he didn't even say that.

00:16:14.000 No, he didn't really say go back.

00:16:15.500 He just said go.

00:16:17.240 OK, OK, OK.

00:16:18.180 He didn't really say go.

00:16:19.080 He said, oh, which rhymes with go,

00:16:21.480 which is the first word in the phrase

00:16:23.020 go back where you came from.

00:16:24.260 That's, you know, it's the same thing.

00:16:26.260 But he didn't say go back

00:16:27.920 where you came from.

00:16:28.340 He just said go back.

00:16:29.520 If he did say that much,

00:16:30.960 it's pretty clear now

00:16:31.960 that he meant go back

00:16:33.160 as in go back

00:16:34.660 to the appropriate checkout line.

00:16:38.080 So she lied.

00:16:39.500 It seems very much so.

00:16:41.360 That she that she lied.

00:16:43.700 What a shocking ending

00:16:44.580 to this tale.

00:16:45.400 Utterly shocking, shocking.

00:16:46.700 If you've been lying in a coma

00:16:48.260 in a cave 100 feet

00:16:49.680 under the ground

00:16:50.320 for the last 50 years

00:16:51.700 and you just emerged

00:16:52.580 into the sunlight on Saturday,

00:16:53.980 then this is shocking.

00:16:55.000 You'll be shocked by this.

00:16:57.600 But of course,

00:16:58.140 if you have been

00:16:58.740 a conscious sentient

00:17:00.300 being in this culture

00:17:02.140 for the last

00:17:03.420 whatever amount of time,

00:17:05.660 then you should not be shocked at all.

00:17:07.000 This is totally expected.

00:17:08.560 What are the major lessons here

00:17:11.540 that we could take from this?

00:17:12.700 I think there are three.

00:17:15.640 One, and these are all lessons

00:17:18.060 that we already know

00:17:19.320 or should know.

00:17:20.520 One is, yet again,

00:17:22.440 don't believe stories like this

00:17:24.420 without evidence.

00:17:25.720 I mean, it's so simple.

00:17:28.300 You hear one side of a story

00:17:31.440 on social media,

00:17:32.740 somebody complaining about

00:17:33.960 something that happened to them

00:17:35.600 or an altercation

00:17:36.460 or something that somebody said.

00:17:38.320 Whatever.

00:17:38.920 You hear one side of the story.

00:17:40.380 There's no evidence.

00:17:42.400 There's no reason to believe it.

00:17:44.460 I mean, there are dozens of reasons

00:17:47.340 why a liar might make something up.

00:17:50.820 It happens all the time.

00:17:52.180 People lie on the internet all the time.

00:17:54.560 I have news for you.

00:17:55.540 All the time.

00:17:57.180 They do it for political reasons.

00:17:58.460 They do it for ideological reasons.

00:17:59.720 They do it because they want attention.

00:18:01.080 They do it for vengeance.

00:18:02.880 They do it.

00:18:03.220 I mean, they do it just to do it sometimes.

00:18:05.400 Sometimes people lie

00:18:06.460 because they're liars. 0.97

00:18:08.480 Liars lie. 1.00

00:18:09.220 It's what they do. 0.97

00:18:10.240 So there are so many reasons.

00:18:12.240 And I'm not,

00:18:12.620 and this isn't just a left-right thing.

00:18:13.940 I think the left is,

00:18:14.860 seems to be much more inclined

00:18:16.280 to making up these kinds of stories

00:18:18.000 very clearly.

00:18:19.420 But look, it's the same thing.

00:18:21.980 I mean, sometimes you hear stories

00:18:23.140 about somebody will say,

00:18:24.220 oh, I was out.

00:18:26.360 And, you know,

00:18:27.080 I was wearing my MAGA hat

00:18:28.320 and somebody came up

00:18:29.180 and yelled at me.

00:18:30.900 I don't believe those stories either

00:18:32.460 unless there's a video,

00:18:33.780 unless there's more,

00:18:34.400 and sometimes there is video

00:18:35.680 of these kinds of things happening.

00:18:36.940 But if I just hear the story,

00:18:38.760 I'm not going to believe it immediately.

00:18:40.420 Oh, well, he said it.

00:18:41.520 It couldn't possibly be not true.

00:18:46.240 If you hear stories like this

00:18:48.080 and believe them without evidence, 1.00

00:18:49.440 you are either very, very, very stupid. 1.00

00:18:53.540 I mean, fantastically stupid, 1.00

00:18:57.120 amazingly, astronomically stupid, 1.00

00:19:01.940 or you're a disingenuous partisan hack. 1.00

00:19:06.140 And you know that it might not be true,

00:19:07.880 but you're running with the story anyway

00:19:09.100 because it's convenient for you.

00:19:10.640 Those are the two options.

00:19:11.540 Or you might be both. 1.00

00:19:12.280 You might be very stupid 1.00

00:19:13.080 and a disingenuous partisan hack, 1.00

00:19:14.840 which many disingenuous partisan hacks are stupid. 0.99

00:19:17.060 I mean, it could be both 1.00

00:19:17.980 or one of the other,

00:19:18.660 but there's no other,

00:19:19.560 there's no option aside from those two

00:19:21.600 or a combination of them.

00:19:23.980 For everyone who is not one of those things,

00:19:26.420 you know, we just have to wait.

00:19:28.340 Whatever the story is,

00:19:29.380 there's no evidence,

00:19:30.140 there's no reason to believe it.

00:19:32.260 In fact, in general, in life,

00:19:36.560 there's no reason to believe anything

00:19:38.780 unless you have evidence,

00:19:40.300 unless there's no reason to believe it

00:19:42.040 unless there is a reason to believe it.

00:19:44.080 Unless someone presents you with a reason

00:19:45.780 to believe the thing, whatever it is,

00:19:48.440 you shouldn't believe it.

00:19:50.040 Doesn't mean that you should automatically assume

00:19:51.640 it's not true,

00:19:52.400 but you shouldn't just believe it.

00:19:54.320 You should be agnostic on the question,

00:19:56.740 whatever it might be,

00:19:58.180 until you've been given reasons to believe it.

00:20:03.560 That's the first lesson.

00:20:04.500 Second lesson is that,

00:20:06.780 and this, I think, is a positive,

00:20:08.240 that, look,

00:20:09.080 I'm not saying racism doesn't exist in this country.

00:20:11.180 We know racism exists.

00:20:12.300 We know it exists among all races

00:20:14.760 and that all different races could be victims of it.

00:20:17.800 But it appears that racism is

00:20:20.660 relatively rare in this country.

00:20:24.640 And I draw that conclusion

00:20:26.100 because you've got,

00:20:28.540 it's so often now

00:20:29.600 where you have people making up racism claims,

00:20:32.400 where if racism was common,

00:20:35.580 if it was an everyday occurrence,

00:20:36.800 as we are led to believe,

00:20:38.400 then Erica Thomas and Jussie Smollett

00:20:40.220 wouldn't need to make it up.

00:20:42.040 And they would have a whole cornucopia,

00:20:45.800 a whole buffet of racist interactions

00:20:48.960 that they could choose from.

00:20:50.080 There'd be no reason to make it up, right?

00:20:54.040 It would be like bringing your own egg rolls

00:20:57.140 to a Chinese food buffet.

00:20:58.720 It's just, there's no reason.

00:21:00.260 All the egg rolls you want will be there.

00:21:01.940 So there would be no reason

00:21:05.680 to make up racism claims.

00:21:07.360 The fact that these people

00:21:09.480 are making up these claims

00:21:10.520 kind of proves that,

00:21:11.760 well, they want to be victims of racism.

00:21:15.900 And unfortunately for them,

00:21:18.160 society is not providing them those opportunities.

00:21:20.040 And so they have to invent it.

00:21:21.840 And then the third thing,

00:21:22.800 I think that probably

00:21:23.280 the most important lesson from this,

00:21:25.300 everything else aside,

00:21:26.700 is if you have more than 10 items,

00:21:30.200 stay out of the express lane, okay?

00:21:33.680 Period.

00:21:34.080 I don't care.

00:21:34.440 You got 11 items.

00:21:35.280 You have 10 and a half items.

00:21:36.540 I don't even care.

00:21:36.880 I don't care if the item that takes you over 10

00:21:40.380 is half of a banana.

00:21:41.800 Whatever it is, you know,

00:21:43.480 one grape from the produce island section,

00:21:48.480 whatever it might be,

00:21:50.380 you don't belong in the express lane.

00:21:53.780 Okay?

00:21:54.080 The express lane, 10 items or less, that's it.

00:21:56.420 Our society, the proper functioning of our society

00:22:01.460 depends on people following these rules.

00:22:05.880 I think this is one of the reasons why

00:22:08.000 I am very worried and cynical

00:22:11.740 about humanity's chances of survival

00:22:15.800 if there is some sort of apocalyptic type event,

00:22:18.560 like an asteroid strike, zombie invasion, whatever. 0.82

00:22:22.400 However, I think we're screwed.

00:22:25.240 And the reason why is because of grocery stores. 0.90

00:22:28.280 Walk into a grocery store anytime

00:22:29.860 and you see how people,

00:22:32.740 if the rules are not being strictly enforced at all times,

00:22:36.700 people just ignore them.

00:22:39.280 I mean, you've got people using express lane

00:22:41.920 when they shouldn't be.

00:22:42.580 You've got people leaving their grocery carts

00:22:44.900 in the middle of the parking lot.

00:22:46.380 You've got people, you know,

00:22:48.260 touching produce items and putting them back.

00:22:52.420 I mean, it's just people are,

00:22:55.140 you've got people like opening items to see

00:22:58.260 and say, I don't really want them.

00:22:59.200 They put it back.

00:22:59.800 Or you've got people who take an item

00:23:02.400 and then they go throughout the grocery store

00:23:04.300 and they decide at some point,

00:23:05.280 oh, I actually don't want this.

00:23:06.100 And they put it back in the wrong section.

00:23:09.660 It's the collapse of civilization

00:23:11.500 is happening at our grocery stores, people.

00:23:13.660 Well, so I think this guy,

00:23:18.360 apparently the full story is that this guy,

00:23:21.080 he saw, from what I gathered,

00:23:26.480 he had already been through

00:23:28.860 but then he saw this woman abusing the express lane 1.00

00:23:33.280 and so he goes back into the store to confront her.

00:23:39.900 Not because he was being inconvenienced

00:23:41.860 but just because on the principle of it

00:23:43.800 and he confronts her on it.

00:23:45.140 I think that's heroic.

00:23:46.100 I think he's a hero.

00:23:46.960 We need more people to do that.

00:23:49.620 I mean, I'm at the point where I'll do that

00:23:51.220 with shopping carts in the parking lot.

00:23:54.220 But I think this is what, you know,

00:23:55.640 see something, say something,

00:23:56.900 I think needs to be the approach from now on.

00:23:59.040 All right.

00:24:00.660 Let's move on.

00:24:01.560 So, from the saga of Erica Thomas

00:24:04.900 to the saga of Jessica Yaniv,

00:24:08.140 formerly Jonathan Yaniv,

00:24:11.420 he's the man who identifies as a woman

00:24:15.520 and is now trying to legally force

00:24:17.520 a number of salons in Canada 0.98

00:24:18.840 to wax his genitals. 0.99

00:24:20.900 Yes, that's, if you haven't heard this story, 0.99

00:24:22.620 that's the story,

00:24:23.600 that's what's happening in Canada.

00:24:24.920 And he might actually win his case.

00:24:26.980 His case is being taken seriously up there

00:24:29.160 in Canada where apparently, you know,

00:24:31.840 75% of the people have lost

00:24:33.720 their ever-loving minds.

00:24:35.500 And so he might actually win this case.

00:24:38.380 Just to summarize,

00:24:39.820 Jessica Yaniv decided to identify

00:24:42.380 as a woman at some point.

00:24:45.100 He identifies now as a lesbian, in fact.

00:24:49.660 So he's a biological male who likes women,

00:24:51.800 so he's a straight guy.

00:24:52.980 In other words,

00:24:53.540 there's another way of putting that.

00:24:55.020 But ever since he transitioned, 0.83

00:24:56.660 transitioned in quotes,

00:24:57.820 he has become bizarrely determined

00:25:00.480 to procure a Brazilian wax.

00:25:03.100 And a Brazilian is something

00:25:04.800 a woman gets done where, 1.00

00:25:06.340 well, I'm not going to explain it.

00:25:07.580 You know, you could look it up

00:25:08.620 if you don't know.

00:25:09.420 But the thing is,

00:25:11.120 these salons that do Brazilians,

00:25:15.000 most of them are not,

00:25:16.940 they specific,

00:25:17.740 a Brazilian is specifically 0.80

00:25:19.380 a waxing of the female area. 0.95

00:25:22.680 And that's what it is.

00:25:23.940 That's by definition,

00:25:24.700 that's what it is.

00:25:25.140 Um, so most of the salons

00:25:27.740 that do this,

00:25:28.680 that's what they do.

00:25:29.600 They do this for women. 1.00

00:25:30.660 It is a service for women.

00:25:33.560 And they're not going to do it for men 0.95

00:25:35.940 because that's,

00:25:37.180 they don't,

00:25:37.660 they don't provide that service.

00:25:39.040 It's a more delicate procedure,

00:25:40.780 as you could probably imagine.

00:25:43.080 Um, it's more dangerous,

00:25:45.160 potentially.

00:25:45.660 So, he's gone around

00:25:48.660 to these places

00:25:49.360 to try to get the waxing done.

00:25:52.400 And he's been told that,

00:25:53.460 sorry, we only do that for women. 1.00

00:25:54.900 We can't,

00:25:55.280 we can't do it for you.

00:25:56.240 It's not just that

00:25:57.220 we don't want to,

00:25:59.060 which that should be enough.

00:26:00.320 If, if you've got a woman saying,

00:26:02.080 look, dude, 0.99

00:26:02.700 I don't want to touch your junk. 0.99

00:26:05.180 That should be enough. 0.99

00:26:07.260 We hear so much about consent these days.

00:26:09.260 Well, consent,

00:26:10.000 I'm, I do not want to consent 0.99

00:26:11.480 to touching your genitals, sir. 0.99

00:26:14.860 That should be enough. 0.99

00:26:15.780 But on top of that,

00:26:17.260 they're also saying,

00:26:18.200 we don't know how to do that.

00:26:20.060 We don't,

00:26:20.400 we're not trained in that.

00:26:22.360 Okay.

00:26:22.780 Do you really want us?

00:26:24.220 We're telling you,

00:26:25.020 we, we've never done that for a guy.

00:26:26.760 You really want us

00:26:27.440 messing around down there?

00:26:30.620 Um, so their case

00:26:32.720 against this guy

00:26:33.880 is obviously just airtight.

00:26:36.480 I mean, this is totally clear.

00:26:38.300 There is nothing,

00:26:39.120 there is not a, a, a,

00:26:40.360 he, this guy has no even shred

00:26:42.500 of a, of a point on his side.

00:26:44.900 It's just completely clear

00:26:46.820 that what, that he is,

00:26:48.260 that this is,

00:26:49.080 that he's totally in the wrong.

00:26:50.880 Um, but he says,

00:26:52.160 nonetheless,

00:26:52.640 that this is a violation

00:26:53.560 of his human rights

00:26:54.380 and he's filed a human rights complaint

00:26:56.960 because we all have,

00:26:58.260 apparently the human right,

00:26:59.500 the God given innate right,

00:27:01.600 which is inherent

00:27:02.760 to our nature as human beings

00:27:04.540 to get Brazilian waxes.

00:27:06.140 That's what he's saying.

00:27:08.160 And it just in making this claim,

00:27:09.940 he's already put

00:27:10.780 a number of women

00:27:11.540 out of business

00:27:12.360 or on the verge

00:27:13.380 of being out of business

00:27:14.300 because to defend themselves

00:27:15.880 costs money

00:27:16.500 and they don't all

00:27:17.920 have the money to spend it.

00:27:19.940 Most of these women 0.99

00:27:20.740 are immigrants too.

00:27:22.440 Um, so he is targeting

00:27:23.720 and bankrupting

00:27:24.940 immigrant women 0.75

00:27:26.000 business owners

00:27:26.900 and doing so

00:27:28.840 in an effort

00:27:29.560 to force them legally 0.99

00:27:30.680 to touch his genitals. 0.99

00:27:31.640 So let's just, 0.99

00:27:32.560 let's go over this again.

00:27:33.840 This is a man

00:27:35.080 targeting

00:27:36.960 and ultimately

00:27:38.300 in some cases

00:27:38.920 bankrupting

00:27:40.100 immigrant women 0.75

00:27:42.080 business owners

00:27:42.900 in an effort

00:27:43.640 to force them 0.99

00:27:44.460 to touch his genitals. 0.99

00:27:46.300 This is, 0.99

00:27:47.200 I mean,

00:27:47.940 if you're looking

00:27:49.420 for misogyny,

00:27:50.560 sexism,

00:27:51.620 rape culture,

00:27:52.680 any of that,

00:27:54.460 here it is

00:27:55.400 on a,

00:27:56.840 on a silver platter

00:27:57.980 right here for you,

00:27:58.860 served up.

00:27:59.420 This is a case of it

00:28:00.260 right here.

00:28:02.320 Um,

00:28:02.940 now this case

00:28:04.880 has been in the news

00:28:05.480 for a while

00:28:06.060 but up until this week

00:28:08.580 the identity

00:28:09.200 of this guy

00:28:09.940 has been unknown

00:28:10.960 but finally

00:28:11.660 that information

00:28:12.380 was unsealed

00:28:13.540 and it's being used

00:28:14.520 in the,

00:28:15.140 in the,

00:28:16.540 in the case

00:28:17.220 at the,

00:28:17.800 whatever,

00:28:18.200 the Human Rights Commission

00:28:19.080 up there in Canada.

00:28:20.580 So again,

00:28:21.540 with the least shocking

00:28:22.560 twist ever in history,

00:28:23.960 uh,

00:28:24.280 we find out

00:28:24.960 that Mr. Yaniv 0.98

00:28:25.900 is a degenerate creep 1.00

00:28:27.400 and a bigot. 1.00

00:28:28.760 Uh, 0.99

00:28:28.960 he is just a vile, 0.94

00:28:30.540 disturbed, 1.00

00:28:31.320 predatory person

00:28:32.060 which we already knew

00:28:33.260 based on the fact

00:28:33.820 that he was trying

00:28:34.140 to legally force women 1.00

00:28:35.060 to touch his genitals. 0.99

00:28:36.280 Um, 1.00

00:28:36.980 so,

00:28:37.700 which is a,

00:28:38.060 which is a form

00:28:38.760 of,

00:28:39.160 of legal sexual assault

00:28:40.720 that he's attempting.

00:28:41.540 So we already knew that

00:28:42.620 but it's even worse

00:28:44.600 than you imagined.

00:28:46.500 The Post Millennial, 0.93

00:28:47.800 a Canadian publication

00:28:48.600 has done a deep dive

00:28:49.920 into this guy's

00:28:50.740 social media postings

00:28:51.940 and this stuff

00:28:53.540 is very,

00:28:54.260 very disturbing.

00:28:54.920 I'm going to share

00:28:55.360 some of it with you,

00:28:56.140 just a warning

00:28:57.100 ahead of time.

00:28:57.580 It's very disturbing

00:28:58.260 graphic,

00:28:59.160 uh,

00:29:00.260 but I think

00:29:01.520 this man

00:29:03.620 needs to be exposed.

00:29:05.200 Uh,

00:29:05.440 not literally,

00:29:06.180 but he needs to be exposed.

00:29:07.500 What he's,

00:29:08.500 it's,

00:29:08.940 it's clear

00:29:09.460 once you read his,

00:29:10.960 what he's saying

00:29:12.080 and what he has said,

00:29:13.060 it's very clear

00:29:14.120 that,

00:29:15.220 which again

00:29:15.740 should have already

00:29:16.200 been clear,

00:29:16.780 that he really wants

00:29:21.440 a woman to touch 1.00

00:29:22.660 his genitals, 1.00

00:29:23.460 uh, 0.99

00:29:24.840 not because he really

00:29:26.760 wants the waxing done.

00:29:28.060 Okay.

00:29:29.900 So let me read

00:29:30.780 some of his Facebook posts,

00:29:32.140 uh,

00:29:32.580 some of his,

00:29:33.400 they got a Facebook post,

00:29:34.780 tweets,

00:29:35.360 leaked,

00:29:35.640 uh,

00:29:35.920 text messages

00:29:36.500 that he sent.

00:29:38.200 And this,

00:29:38.940 again,

00:29:39.080 most of this is from

00:29:40.060 the,

00:29:40.340 uh,

00:29:40.520 the Post Millennial.

00:29:41.600 Let me pull up,

00:29:42.840 um,

00:29:43.440 some of these.

00:29:45.100 Okay,

00:29:45.540 so reading a couple,

00:29:46.300 here's one,

00:29:46.860 uh,

00:29:47.300 back when he was

00:29:47.940 Jonathan Yaniv.

00:29:49.120 Here's a post where he said,

00:29:50.240 how do I explain this

00:29:51.080 without getting banned

00:29:51.940 on this group

00:29:52.600 and sounding like a racist?

00:29:54.320 We have a lot of immigrants

00:29:55.520 here who gawk and judge

00:29:57.160 and aren't exactly

00:29:57.780 the cleanest people.

00:29:58.700 They're also verbally

00:29:59.760 and physically abusive.

00:30:01.100 That's one main reason

00:30:02.000 why I joined a girl's gym

00:30:03.220 because I don't want issues

00:30:04.940 with these people,

00:30:05.720 nor do I want anything

00:30:06.860 to do with them

00:30:07.480 in any way.

00:30:08.620 They lie about stuff.

00:30:10.540 They'll do anything

00:30:11.040 to support their own kind

00:30:12.680 and make things miserable

00:30:13.940 for everyone else.

00:30:14.660 So here he is,

00:30:15.240 complaining about immigrants,

00:30:16.900 um, 0.99

00:30:17.700 calling them dirty.

00:30:18.640 He's saying that he joined 0.60

00:30:19.420 a woman's gym

00:30:20.480 in part because he wants 1.00

00:30:21.980 to avoid the dirty immigrants. 1.00

00:30:23.320 That's what he says. 1.00

00:30:25.700 Um,

00:30:26.280 here he is,

00:30:27.800 uh,

00:30:28.000 as Jessica Yaniv

00:30:29.000 on Twitter

00:30:29.740 saying Twitter handle

00:30:32.440 at trusted nerd,

00:30:34.160 by the way,

00:30:35.580 um,

00:30:36.040 in case you wanted,

00:30:36.700 I mean,

00:30:36.980 just in case you wanted

00:30:37.680 to,

00:30:37.980 you know,

00:30:38.880 send him a message

00:30:39.640 or something

00:30:40.000 and just let him know

00:30:41.060 how you feel

00:30:41.420 about this case.

00:30:42.080 whether you're

00:30:44.180 pro or con,

00:30:45.240 just maybe you want

00:30:46.060 to give him

00:30:46.320 a little feedback.

00:30:46.920 I mean,

00:30:47.040 I don't know.

00:30:47.340 It's up to you really,

00:30:48.020 but,

00:30:48.140 uh,

00:30:49.000 at trusted nerd.

00:30:50.080 So here he is saying,

00:30:51.400 um,

00:30:51.860 he's talking about,

00:30:53.540 uh,

00:30:54.140 I guess he's advocating

00:30:55.960 for some,

00:30:57.300 uh,

00:30:58.300 talking about a pool

00:30:59.160 that he attends.

00:31:00.020 And,

00:31:00.380 um,

00:31:00.640 and he says,

00:31:02.320 uh,

00:31:02.660 I am requesting

00:31:03.460 that we have

00:31:04.000 an all-bodies swim here 0.99

00:31:05.480 with allowances

00:31:06.220 for people age 12 plus

00:31:08.380 to go topless

00:31:09.220 if they wish

00:31:11.100 as it's allowed in law.

00:31:13.000 So here he is

00:31:13.840 just advocating

00:31:14.540 for topless 12-year-olds

00:31:15.600 at the pool.

00:31:16.240 You know,

00:31:16.600 hey,

00:31:17.020 I mean,

00:31:17.740 right,

00:31:18.280 no big deal,

00:31:18.760 right?

00:31:19.900 Um,

00:31:20.480 and this is a guy

00:31:21.420 who wants access

00:31:22.980 and has access

00:31:24.260 to women's locker rooms 0.95

00:31:26.480 and restrooms. 0.98

00:31:28.300 It gets worse.

00:31:30.100 Okay,

00:31:30.300 there's some,

00:31:30.820 the post-millennial

00:31:31.380 has some leaked text messages

00:31:32.540 where he's going back

00:31:33.240 and forth with somebody,

00:31:34.160 um,

00:31:36.220 asking questions

00:31:37.380 about what he might

00:31:38.220 experience

00:31:38.960 in the girls' restroom.

00:31:41.540 And he has this,

00:31:43.940 and I won't even read

00:31:44.720 all the messages,

00:31:45.500 but there are several messages

00:31:46.520 which show that he has,

00:31:47.300 he has this,

00:31:48.020 this fixation

00:31:49.300 with girls

00:31:50.160 on their periods

00:31:50.980 and the possibility

00:31:51.880 that he might,

00:31:52.420 uh,

00:31:53.520 have an opportunity

00:31:54.140 to help some of these girls

00:31:55.720 on their periods.

00:31:57.180 He says,

00:31:58.360 talking to this woman,

00:31:59.560 he says,

00:31:59.960 if she wants a tampon,

00:32:01.080 though,

00:32:01.340 referring to a girl

00:32:02.540 in the restroom,

00:32:03.700 if she wants a tampon,

00:32:04.720 though,

00:32:04.840 should I give her one

00:32:05.660 and instruct her

00:32:06.260 on how to use it?

00:32:07.580 Then he says later,

00:32:08.660 and what would I tell her?

00:32:10.100 Like,

00:32:10.620 would I go into the stall

00:32:11.820 with her and help her? 0.82

00:32:14.280 Uh,

00:32:14.660 later,

00:32:15.080 he goes back to this theme,

00:32:16.200 what if she wants to know

00:32:17.080 how to put a pad on?

00:32:18.180 Then what?

00:32:19.160 I know eventually

00:32:20.000 I'm going to run into

00:32:20.820 that scenario

00:32:21.420 where someone asks me

00:32:22.360 to help.

00:32:23.760 Uh,

00:32:24.160 at a different point,

00:32:24.740 he asks,

00:32:25.180 if there's like

00:32:26.780 30 girls in the change room, 0.99

00:32:28.340 how many of them

00:32:28.980 would you say

00:32:29.460 are out there

00:32:30.040 changing freely

00:32:30.880 with their 0.98

00:32:31.640 genitals showing? 1.00

00:32:34.380 He doesn't use genitals, 0.97

00:32:35.300 he uses a more vulgar term.

00:32:37.780 Um,

00:32:38.500 at a different point,

00:32:39.580 this now I'm quoting

00:32:41.740 from a,

00:32:42.380 uh,

00:32:42.740 from a report

00:32:43.480 of the Daily Caller.

00:32:44.580 He says,

00:32:45.300 if I notice a girl 0.83

00:32:46.760 that's nude below 0.97

00:32:47.660 and has a tampon string 0.96

00:32:48.920 coming out

00:32:49.520 when I'm changing

00:32:50.160 and doing my stuff,

00:32:51.280 is it weird to approach her

00:32:52.560 to ask her for a tampon 0.54

00:32:53.760 or a pad

00:32:54.260 just to bond with her a bit

00:32:55.840 over period stuff?

00:32:57.140 I really want to make friends

00:32:58.340 in there.

00:32:58.780 That's a kind of a goal of mine.

00:33:01.720 Okay,

00:33:02.180 and,

00:33:02.360 and,

00:33:02.760 uh,

00:33:02.940 and there are many more.

00:33:03.960 You go to the Postmillennial

00:33:04.800 or look this stuff up

00:33:05.640 on Google.

00:33:06.160 Uh,

00:33:06.480 there are many more,

00:33:07.220 uh,

00:33:07.600 messages of this sort.

00:33:08.520 Um,

00:33:10.220 as I said,

00:33:11.040 uh,

00:33:11.740 grotesque, 0.97

00:33:13.120 disgusting, 0.98

00:33:14.580 disturbing, 0.83

00:33:15.260 but it's important for all,

00:33:17.840 I mean,

00:33:18.080 this guy is,

00:33:19.480 first of all,

00:33:20.140 he is,

00:33:20.580 he is going right now.

00:33:21.780 He can go into a restroom

00:33:23.420 or a locker room

00:33:24.460 with young girls,

00:33:25.900 making it very clear

00:33:28.220 that he is interested

00:33:29.440 in,

00:33:30.220 in seeing the sites

00:33:32.400 in those areas.

00:33:34.560 I mean,

00:33:35.160 this guy's a predator 0.97

00:33:36.340 and he's, 0.95

00:33:37.820 and this is the,

00:33:38.500 same man trying

00:33:39.220 to force women 1.00

00:33:40.320 again legally 0.99

00:33:41.320 to touch his genitals, 0.99

00:33:42.200 trying to force them. 0.99

00:33:45.140 Um,

00:33:46.180 it's,

00:33:46.900 it's,

00:33:47.280 it's mind boggling.

00:33:49.440 I,

00:33:49.620 I mean,

00:33:51.420 you,

00:33:51.820 I don't care

00:33:52.560 how far left you are.

00:33:54.000 I don't care

00:33:54.400 how liberal I,

00:33:55.820 I,

00:33:55.900 you could be

00:33:56.600 a pink haired

00:33:57.500 feminist,

00:33:58.980 radical pro-abortion,

00:34:01.100 volunteer,

00:34:01.680 Planned Parenthood,

00:34:02.500 member of PETA.

00:34:03.380 I mean,

00:34:03.720 all the vegan,

00:34:04.680 I don't care

00:34:05.940 how far left you are.

00:34:07.600 You,

00:34:07.800 you have to see

00:34:08.940 what's going on here.

00:34:09.740 I mean,

00:34:09.880 you've got to see it. 0.74

00:34:11.000 If you have a brain

00:34:12.420 in your head,

00:34:13.020 if you are capable

00:34:13.680 of logical thinking

00:34:14.640 at all,

00:34:15.720 you cannot

00:34:16.540 possibly take

00:34:17.820 this guy's side.

00:34:21.340 Um,

00:34:22.180 and I think

00:34:23.120 that

00:34:25.060 most people don't.

00:34:27.360 In fact,

00:34:27.720 I am very confident

00:34:29.200 that the vast

00:34:30.400 majority of people

00:34:31.360 when they see

00:34:32.740 a case like this,

00:34:33.840 their reaction,

00:34:35.240 at least in their own head

00:34:36.340 to themselves,

00:34:37.140 is this is nuts.

00:34:39.180 Literally.

00:34:40.060 Um,

00:34:40.460 this is,

00:34:41.200 sorry,

00:34:41.480 this is crazy.

00:34:43.360 I think that's the reaction

00:34:44.600 most people have.

00:34:46.260 But then

00:34:47.220 a sizable chunk

00:34:48.760 of those people

00:34:49.480 feel that

00:34:50.680 they can't say it publicly

00:34:51.800 because they'll be

00:34:53.340 casticated as a bigot.

00:34:54.740 So they either have to

00:34:55.620 pretend that they're

00:34:56.480 on his side

00:34:57.200 or that they see

00:34:57.880 his point.

00:34:59.360 Um,

00:35:00.760 so to speak.

00:35:01.800 Sorry,

00:35:02.220 I can't.

00:35:03.460 Um,

00:35:04.220 they have to pretend

00:35:05.060 that they're,

00:35:05.660 that they're on his side

00:35:06.140 or they,

00:35:07.200 they,

00:35:07.620 they just remain silent.

00:35:10.360 But I guess my message

00:35:11.760 to everybody is,

00:35:12.620 listen,

00:35:13.640 again,

00:35:14.820 no matter how liberal

00:35:15.380 you are,

00:35:16.020 no matter how

00:35:16.960 progressive you want

00:35:18.280 to seem,

00:35:18.900 no matter how tolerant

00:35:19.940 you are,

00:35:21.040 you know that this

00:35:22.060 is crazy.

00:35:22.900 You know that this

00:35:24.080 guy is a guy.

00:35:25.580 You know that.

00:35:26.920 You know it.

00:35:27.600 I know it.

00:35:28.080 I know you know it.

00:35:29.440 You know that.

00:35:30.000 I know you know it.

00:35:30.820 I mean,

00:35:31.140 so don't be ashamed.

00:35:32.900 It's,

00:35:33.340 there's nothing shameful

00:35:34.360 or wrong

00:35:34.960 with,

00:35:35.900 with understanding science.

00:35:37.600 Science is not

00:35:38.600 shameful.

00:35:40.480 This is a matter

00:35:41.320 of science.

00:35:42.780 It's also a matter

00:35:43.800 of common freaking sense.

00:35:46.440 It's clear what this guy's 0.91

00:35:47.720 interested in.

00:35:49.120 He shouldn't have access

00:35:50.200 to locker rooms

00:35:50.820 and bathrooms. 0.93

00:35:51.280 All right.

00:35:55.960 Last thing.

00:35:58.240 Dina Hashem.

00:35:59.420 Let's do a little comedy.

00:36:00.700 We'll lighten the mood

00:36:01.520 a little bit here

00:36:01.880 at the end.

00:36:02.580 Dina Hashem

00:36:03.480 is a comedian.

00:36:05.300 Um,

00:36:08.060 XXXTentacion,

00:36:10.440 I guess that's how you,

00:36:11.120 I don't know how to

00:36:11.580 pronounce his name.

00:36:12.900 XXXTentacion

00:36:13.940 is a dead rapper.

00:36:16.980 He was also a brutal, 0.98

00:36:18.540 violent abuser 0.74

00:36:19.260 who apparently beat

00:36:20.500 his pregnant girlfriend 0.98

00:36:21.660 half to death,

00:36:23.000 allegedly stabbed

00:36:23.860 like seven or eight

00:36:24.500 other people.

00:36:25.060 and he was,

00:36:27.180 may shock you to learn,

00:36:28.240 he was shot and robbed

00:36:29.500 while carrying

00:36:30.320 50 grand in cash

00:36:31.920 several months ago.

00:36:33.440 So he's dead now.

00:36:35.420 This is,

00:36:36.480 I guess,

00:36:36.700 supposed to be

00:36:37.200 some sort of tragedy

00:36:38.040 that this violent, 0.97

00:36:39.440 brutal abuser 0.98

00:36:40.400 died. 0.86

00:36:43.220 You know,

00:36:43.300 he was a violent man

00:36:44.440 who met a violent end

00:36:45.840 just as Jesus predicted,

00:36:47.200 live by the sword,

00:36:47.860 die by the sword,

00:36:48.800 live as an abusive, 1.00

00:36:49.860 violent monster, 1.00

00:36:50.760 die at the hands 1.00

00:36:51.620 of abusive, 1.00

00:36:52.280 violent monsters. 0.76

00:36:53.240 That's kind of

00:36:53.760 how this works.

00:36:55.500 So when I,

00:36:56.880 I think it was,

00:36:57.680 like I said,

00:36:57.960 several months ago,

00:36:58.620 this guy died.

00:36:59.820 When I heard his,

00:37:00.640 he died,

00:37:01.160 I, you know,

00:37:02.100 well, okay,

00:37:03.300 that's what happens

00:37:04.240 to people like that.

00:37:06.120 I have to admit,

00:37:06.940 I didn't,

00:37:07.460 I didn't quite shed

00:37:08.460 a tear over it.

00:37:10.200 The fact that

00:37:11.340 he was an abusive, 0.99

00:37:13.180 violent abuser 0.99

00:37:13.740 who also rapped,

00:37:15.420 it doesn't make it

00:37:16.980 any more tragic.

00:37:18.260 I mean,

00:37:18.460 the fact that he could rap

00:37:19.480 does not compensate

00:37:20.680 for the monster,

00:37:24.060 you know,

00:37:24.280 the,

00:37:24.460 the,

00:37:24.860 the monstrous behavior

00:37:26.220 that he engaged in,

00:37:28.160 allegedly.

00:37:29.380 Um,

00:37:29.860 so that was my thought.

00:37:32.400 Anyway,

00:37:33.020 Dina Hashem

00:37:33.720 made a joke

00:37:34.860 about this guy's death,

00:37:36.040 but the joke,

00:37:37.420 as all jokes do now,

00:37:38.720 sparked controversy,

00:37:39.820 and eventually,

00:37:40.780 it was apparently pulled

00:37:41.880 from a comedy,

00:37:42.760 this,

00:37:43.760 her set was supposed 0.92

00:37:44.400 to air on Comedy Central.

00:37:45.500 They said they were

00:37:45.860 going to pull that joke

00:37:46.760 because people

00:37:47.560 were offended by it.

00:37:48.460 So let me play for you

00:37:50.360 this very offensive,

00:37:52.060 terrible joke

00:37:52.860 that this comedian

00:37:53.840 told about the guy.

00:37:55.580 Here's the joke.

00:37:57.280 Is anyone still mourning

00:37:58.620 XXXTentacion?

00:37:59.940 He's a rapper

00:38:07.220 who was murdered.

00:38:09.180 He's dead now.

00:38:11.160 He was,

00:38:11.960 he was shot,

00:38:12.960 he was on his way

00:38:13.860 to buy a car

00:38:14.500 with $50,000

00:38:15.440 in cash,

00:38:16.660 and somebody shot him

00:38:17.780 and took the money,

00:38:19.240 which is very tragic,

00:38:21.080 but I think also

00:38:21.980 it would be

00:38:22.440 a very good

00:38:23.220 Venmo commercial.

00:38:24.040 That's the first thing

00:38:34.620 I thought

00:38:35.100 when I hear that.

00:38:36.800 Like,

00:38:37.260 I don't have Venmo.

00:38:37.940 I should get Venmo.

00:38:39.300 Okay,

00:38:39.900 that's the joke.

00:38:40.820 I think it's a clever joke.

00:38:42.940 It's a good joke.

00:38:44.040 It's kind of morbid,

00:38:45.340 black humor,

00:38:46.060 dark humor,

00:38:46.880 that I think

00:38:49.120 dark humor

00:38:49.840 is not only okay,

00:38:51.960 not only acceptable,

00:38:52.840 but necessary

00:38:54.300 in a society.

00:38:55.340 You've got to be able

00:38:56.340 to tell jokes about it.

00:38:58.060 It's like a sort of

00:38:59.160 common human instinct

00:39:00.800 is to tell jokes

00:39:03.940 about tragic things.

00:39:06.620 Death in general

00:39:07.800 is a tragic thing.

00:39:08.480 I'm not sure

00:39:08.760 that I would call it

00:39:09.240 a tragedy

00:39:09.680 that this particular guy,

00:39:11.420 given the lifestyle

00:39:12.280 that he led,

00:39:12.960 died,

00:39:13.360 but regardless,

00:39:16.220 you know,

00:39:18.200 it's dark,

00:39:19.280 morbid humor,

00:39:20.000 and that,

00:39:21.820 you need,

00:39:22.300 we need to be able

00:39:23.140 to tell those kinds

00:39:23.860 of jokes.

00:39:24.960 I think it's necessary.

00:39:26.320 That's a,

00:39:26.620 that's a service

00:39:27.640 that comedians provide.

00:39:28.980 It's an important service

00:39:29.740 is finding the humor

00:39:32.100 in,

00:39:32.600 in,

00:39:32.980 in things that

00:39:33.720 on the surface

00:39:34.400 don't appear to be funny

00:39:35.220 at all.

00:39:35.780 That's their job.

00:39:36.940 It's what they do.

00:39:39.240 And that's the really

00:39:40.300 clever comedians.

00:39:41.520 That's,

00:39:41.860 that's how you know

00:39:43.080 if someone is a,

00:39:44.040 is an especially

00:39:44.580 clever comedian

00:39:45.480 is if they can find

00:39:47.260 situations that do not

00:39:48.500 appear to be

00:39:49.080 on the surface funny.

00:39:49.820 Now,

00:39:50.020 if it's a situation

00:39:50.860 that everyone can tell

00:39:51.840 is funny,

00:39:52.320 then it's,

00:39:53.240 you don't even need

00:39:54.100 to tell a joke about it

00:39:54.860 because we all get it.

00:39:56.340 But to find the thing

00:39:57.800 that doesn't seem funny

00:39:59.620 and to find the,

00:40:01.420 the humor in it,

00:40:02.440 that's the whole gig

00:40:04.360 as a comedian,

00:40:05.080 it seems to me.

00:40:07.900 Um,

00:40:08.340 but people are offended

00:40:09.300 now by that

00:40:10.000 because people are offended

00:40:10.760 by everything.

00:40:11.920 And this is why

00:40:12.980 you just can't,

00:40:14.220 you can't give 0.84

00:40:17.060 the whiners 0.79

00:40:17.700 and the outrage mob

00:40:18.760 an inch.

00:40:19.740 I think we have

00:40:20.480 to be at a point now

00:40:21.240 where we just

00:40:22.260 completely ignore them.

00:40:23.800 We don't care

00:40:24.500 about your feelings.

00:40:25.400 We don't care

00:40:25.740 about your perspective

00:40:26.360 on this.

00:40:26.840 We just don't care.

00:40:27.800 I mean,

00:40:28.120 you're offended.

00:40:28.740 I honestly don't care

00:40:30.580 at all.

00:40:31.220 It just,

00:40:31.820 it does not matter.

00:40:33.220 I think that has

00:40:33.920 to be our message.

00:40:34.680 Your feelings

00:40:35.420 don't matter about this.

00:40:37.020 They really don't.

00:40:37.580 I know we're raised

00:40:38.280 that,

00:40:38.660 oh,

00:40:38.820 my feel,

00:40:39.380 how do you dare

00:40:39.940 you say my feelings

00:40:40.680 don't matter?

00:40:41.120 Well,

00:40:41.260 they don't.

00:40:41.980 I mean,

00:40:42.140 a lot of times

00:40:42.660 your feelings

00:40:43.040 don't matter.

00:40:43.780 They're feelings.

00:40:45.320 Feelings can be

00:40:45.980 irrational.

00:40:46.800 They're often irrelevant.

00:40:48.360 They don't matter to me.

00:40:49.260 Why should I care?

00:40:50.800 I mean,

00:40:51.080 you could have feelings

00:40:52.560 that people should care about

00:40:54.160 depending on the situation.

00:40:56.640 Right?

00:40:57.180 I mean,

00:40:57.380 if you suffer the loss

00:40:58.480 of a loved one

00:41:00.360 and you're sad about that,

00:41:03.040 then we should care

00:41:04.580 about those feelings.

00:41:06.900 But in general,

00:41:07.980 every last little emotion

00:41:09.160 that pops into your head,

00:41:11.000 no,

00:41:11.460 we don't have to care

00:41:12.040 about that.

00:41:13.460 So when it comes to this,

00:41:14.340 ex-extentastion,

00:41:16.820 he wasn't your loved one.

00:41:18.340 He's just a guy

00:41:18.900 that rapped. 0.97

00:41:20.380 And apparently

00:41:20.880 his loved ones,

00:41:21.800 he was in the habit

00:41:22.380 of beating.

00:41:24.320 So if he was

00:41:25.000 a loved one of yours,

00:41:25.720 I doubt that you

00:41:26.420 love him that much.

00:41:30.600 Certainly,

00:41:31.120 apparently he didn't

00:41:31.480 love you that much.

00:41:33.880 So this is just, 0.76

00:41:35.060 just ridiculous. 0.91

00:41:37.700 It was a, 0.97

00:41:38.040 it was a,

00:41:38.640 it was a fine joke.

00:41:40.240 And I'll tell you something.

00:41:41.060 If,

00:41:41.580 if dark humor,

00:41:42.820 if morbid humor

00:41:44.780 is not allowed anymore,

00:41:46.380 then Irish people 1.00

00:41:48.420 are especially screwed 1.00

00:41:49.440 because that's the only 0.97

00:41:50.380 kind of humor we have.

00:41:52.340 You know,

00:41:52.880 if you grow up around

00:41:53.600 people of Irish descent,

00:41:55.280 you've been around Irish,

00:41:56.080 all they,

00:41:56.840 all they joke about

00:41:57.660 is more,

00:41:58.220 is just death

00:41:59.060 and suffering

00:41:59.720 is the whole

00:42:00.660 source of comedy.

00:42:02.420 It's a cultural thing.

00:42:04.020 So we're,

00:42:04.860 we're in trouble,

00:42:05.500 I think,

00:42:06.380 in that case.

00:42:07.320 All right,

00:42:07.480 let's go to emails.

00:42:08.360 MattWallShow

00:42:08.900 at gmail.com.

00:42:10.200 MattWallShow

00:42:12.640 at gmail.com.

00:42:14.940 All right,

00:42:15.300 this is from Teresa

00:42:16.660 or Teresa, 0.92

00:42:17.740 I think is probably

00:42:18.700 how it's pronounced.

00:42:21.440 With two S's.

00:42:22.700 That'd be Teresa. 0.79

00:42:24.440 My name is Teresa

00:42:25.800 and I'm 11 years old.

00:42:27.240 Congratulations

00:42:27.600 on your 300th show.

00:42:29.740 I didn't even know

00:42:30.180 I had my 300th.

00:42:31.000 Has it been three,

00:42:31.640 I've done 300 of these things?

00:42:33.960 Good Lord,

00:42:34.560 what am I doing

00:42:35.040 with my life?

00:42:36.040 My dad listens

00:42:36.680 to you all the time.

00:42:37.400 I agree with you

00:42:37.900 about spiders. 0.99

00:42:38.480 I think they suck out

00:42:39.600 your soul too.

00:42:41.020 Can you suggest

00:42:41.560 any books

00:42:42.160 about the faith

00:42:43.240 that are good

00:42:43.740 for someone my age?

00:42:44.600 I asked a priest,

00:42:45.580 but I know,

00:42:46.520 and he said

00:42:47.020 there aren't any good ones.

00:42:48.900 My dad doesn't know

00:42:50.120 of any either.

00:42:51.100 One more question.

00:42:52.140 My dad tells me

00:42:52.940 one day you will

00:42:53.640 rule the world.

00:42:54.700 What age do I need

00:42:55.580 to be worried

00:42:56.200 about your impending rule

00:42:57.300 and can I do anything

00:42:58.280 to remove myself

00:42:59.800 from your wrath?

00:43:02.880 Well,

00:43:03.400 she signs it Tess,

00:43:04.740 so I guess Tess would be,

00:43:06.340 all right, Tess.

00:43:06.920 I will tell you,

00:43:08.260 I will,

00:43:10.080 even though

00:43:10.820 I will be a brutal,

00:43:13.860 tyrannical, 0.96

00:43:16.140 lovingly tyrannical dictator, 0.99

00:43:18.140 I will make an exception

00:43:19.420 for those under the age

00:43:21.420 of, let's say, 16.

00:43:22.600 So as long as I come

00:43:23.800 into power

00:43:24.380 before you hit

00:43:26.940 your 16th birthday,

00:43:29.000 you'll be fine.

00:43:30.740 Anyway,

00:43:31.400 as far as books

00:43:32.760 about faith,

00:43:33.720 your priest said he does,

00:43:34.660 your priest said

00:43:36.960 there aren't

00:43:37.540 any good books

00:43:38.500 about faith

00:43:39.180 for someone your age.

00:43:40.840 That is shocking.

00:43:42.300 There are many good books

00:43:43.480 about faith

00:43:43.940 for someone your age

00:43:44.660 for people of all ages.

00:43:46.440 So let me,

00:43:47.000 let me,

00:43:47.500 just one,

00:43:48.440 off the top of my head,

00:43:51.200 Fulton Sheen.

00:43:52.380 Maybe you've heard

00:43:52.840 of Fulton Sheen.

00:43:53.640 He was a famous

00:43:54.760 American bishop

00:43:56.240 back in the 50s and 60s,

00:43:57.540 and he wrote a book

00:43:59.360 about Jesus

00:44:00.020 called The Life of Christ,

00:44:01.160 and he wrote

00:44:01.440 a really long book.

00:44:02.600 It was like 300, 400 pages,

00:44:04.220 which I wouldn't recommend

00:44:05.920 probably for someone

00:44:06.640 your age.

00:44:07.120 It might be a little bit

00:44:07.680 too much.

00:44:08.820 You know,

00:44:09.000 he might be biting off

00:44:10.000 a little bit more

00:44:10.480 than you could chew there.

00:44:12.000 But he also wrote

00:44:13.100 a shorter version

00:44:14.260 of that book,

00:44:14.920 much simpler,

00:44:15.660 shorter, condensed,

00:44:16.560 about 90 pages,

00:44:18.080 just talking about Jesus,

00:44:19.460 his life,

00:44:20.420 what he did,

00:44:21.440 his, you know,

00:44:21.980 the apostles,

00:44:22.920 kind of explaining

00:44:24.940 the significance

00:44:25.480 of all these various

00:44:26.260 things in the Gospels.

00:44:27.980 And I would recommend

00:44:29.600 that one.

00:44:30.000 I think that someone,

00:44:30.860 I think someone your age

00:44:31.920 or someone of any age

00:44:33.120 who's able to read

00:44:34.200 would appreciate that one.

00:44:36.540 So,

00:44:37.460 Life of Christ,

00:44:38.120 look that one up.

00:44:38.780 Make sure it's the one

00:44:39.820 that's like 90 pages,

00:44:40.780 not the one that's 300 plus.

00:44:44.820 This is from

00:44:45.840 House, I think.

00:44:49.080 I can't pronounce

00:44:49.580 anyone's name today.

00:44:50.720 House?

00:44:51.060 Dr. House?

00:44:51.600 Is that?

00:44:52.380 While I agree

00:44:53.060 with your sentiments

00:44:53.620 about paying people

00:44:54.420 according to their merit,

00:44:55.560 the discrepancies

00:44:56.140 you laid out

00:44:56.800 of 35 cents per hour

00:44:58.180 versus $35 per hour

00:44:59.520 is insipid.

00:45:00.160 people, 1.00

00:45:01.240 even the inept ones, 0.77

00:45:02.080 need to feel value 0.81

00:45:03.040 and self-worth

00:45:03.720 beyond cents

00:45:04.480 on the dollar.

00:45:06.900 Well,

00:45:07.940 yeah,

00:45:08.300 I hear this a lot,

00:45:08.880 but if you're saying

00:45:09.360 that people need

00:45:09.800 to feel value

00:45:10.440 and self-worth

00:45:11.140 beyond cents

00:45:12.060 on the dollar,

00:45:13.740 I agree

00:45:14.620 that people need

00:45:15.140 to feel value

00:45:15.760 and self-worth

00:45:16.660 that goes beyond

00:45:17.600 the money.

00:45:19.720 The point

00:45:20.180 of a job,

00:45:21.300 the point,

00:45:22.060 your employer's

00:45:23.360 primary concern

00:45:24.560 is not to help

00:45:26.000 with your self-worth.

00:45:26.880 Now,

00:45:28.200 they should still

00:45:28.720 treat you

00:45:29.020 with dignity.

00:45:29.620 They should treat

00:45:29.960 you like a person.

00:45:31.140 I don't believe

00:45:31.800 in slavery

00:45:32.360 or anything like that

00:45:33.340 or sweat shops

00:45:34.780 for seven-year-olds,

00:45:36.440 but still,

00:45:37.700 your employer's

00:45:38.260 primary job

00:45:39.040 is to run his business.

00:45:39.840 It's not to help

00:45:40.740 you with your self-esteem

00:45:41.500 or your self-worth.

00:45:42.660 You shouldn't be looking

00:45:43.680 for self-esteem

00:45:44.400 and self-worth

00:45:45.100 in a job

00:45:48.400 in the first place,

00:45:49.060 although inevitably

00:45:50.280 we all kind of do that,

00:45:51.540 but I think

00:45:52.380 we shouldn't be

00:45:53.540 looking for it there.

00:45:55.840 And regardless,

00:45:56.940 look,

00:45:57.100 this is just,

00:45:58.620 it's simple math

00:46:00.240 as far as I'm concerned.

00:46:01.140 You should be paid

00:46:02.020 what you are worth

00:46:03.320 to your employer

00:46:04.740 based on the work

00:46:06.940 you're doing.

00:46:07.560 You're not paid

00:46:08.800 based on your worth

00:46:10.460 as a human

00:46:11.160 because your worth

00:46:12.820 goes beyond money.

00:46:14.020 Okay?

00:46:14.220 We all,

00:46:14.760 we're human beings.

00:46:15.220 We have infinite value.

00:46:16.460 So we cannot be paid

00:46:17.680 infinity dollars.

00:46:19.020 So when it comes down

00:46:20.000 to it,

00:46:20.880 look,

00:46:21.140 some people are paid

00:46:22.360 $60,000 a year.

00:46:23.260 Some people are paid

00:46:23.880 $600,000 a year.

00:46:25.240 It's not that the person

00:46:26.060 paid $60,000

00:46:26.860 is worth less

00:46:27.900 as a person.

00:46:29.560 It's just

00:46:30.220 in the marketplace,

00:46:31.620 the labor that they do

00:46:33.060 is that's how much

00:46:34.280 it's worth.

00:46:35.920 It's just,

00:46:36.500 it's a reflection

00:46:37.060 of what they're doing

00:46:38.260 from nine to five.

00:46:39.300 It's not a reflection

00:46:39.760 of them as a person.

00:46:40.620 So my point is

00:46:41.460 that if you're

00:46:42.920 at a,

00:46:43.620 sitting behind a register

00:46:44.980 at a Burger King

00:46:47.260 or something

00:46:47.740 and you're just,

00:46:51.820 you have a terrible

00:46:52.640 attitude, 0.74

00:46:54.200 you're sullen

00:46:55.660 and,

00:46:56.180 and,

00:46:56.480 and,

00:46:56.880 you know,

00:46:57.880 you put in minimal effort,

00:47:00.920 you aren't worth

00:47:03.440 that much

00:47:04.200 doing that job.

00:47:07.200 The work that you're doing

00:47:08.700 is so minimal,

00:47:09.920 so devoid of effort,

00:47:11.440 so devoid of energy

00:47:12.860 and commitment,

00:47:14.560 you know,

00:47:15.240 and positive attitude

00:47:16.680 and all that,

00:47:17.480 that it's just not worth

00:47:18.500 that much.

00:47:18.900 And so my argument

00:47:19.760 is there are people

00:47:20.620 standing behind a register

00:47:21.700 at Burger King

00:47:22.400 who are worth 35 cents

00:47:23.940 for what,

00:47:25.780 what they're doing

00:47:26.580 is worth 35 cents

00:47:27.480 because they're doing

00:47:28.440 almost nothing.

00:47:30.680 And so they should be

00:47:31.560 paid almost nothing.

00:47:32.500 There are others

00:47:33.240 who are behind registers

00:47:34.420 at Burger King

00:47:35.080 and other places

00:47:35.720 who are worth

00:47:37.080 as a $35 an hour

00:47:38.940 possibly,

00:47:39.500 potentially,

00:47:40.060 because their attitude

00:47:41.260 is so good,

00:47:41.940 they're putting in

00:47:42.300 so much energy,

00:47:43.140 they,

00:47:43.300 they,

00:47:43.540 they make the customer

00:47:44.480 feel good,

00:47:45.100 they're putting a smile

00:47:45.720 on your face,

00:47:46.360 they're just putting

00:47:47.260 all of themselves

00:47:47.900 into this job

00:47:48.800 even if it is a,

00:47:49.880 a,

00:47:50.440 a kind of,

00:47:51.680 you know,

00:47:53.780 just,

00:47:57.420 even if it is,

00:47:58.840 just pushing buttons

00:48:00.500 on a register.

00:48:02.740 So I think people

00:48:03.680 should be paid

00:48:04.100 what they're worth

00:48:04.760 for the work

00:48:05.400 they're doing.

00:48:06.140 Last one from,

00:48:08.300 didn't get the person's name,

00:48:09.380 probably for the best.

00:48:10.600 I'm a 17-year-old homeschooler

00:48:11.840 and have not missed

00:48:12.440 a single Daily Wire podcast

00:48:13.820 backstage or conversation

00:48:14.980 since I started watching

00:48:15.920 in September 2017.

00:48:17.020 My dad is wondering

00:48:17.660 why he got me interested

00:48:18.620 in politics in the first place.

00:48:20.040 He started seeing warning signs

00:48:21.300 when he and I were able

00:48:22.180 to have detailed discussions

00:48:23.800 on the policy positions

00:48:24.820 of almost every Republican

00:48:25.760 presidential candidate

00:48:26.520 in the 2016 election.

00:48:28.520 That's great.

00:48:30.320 I think you may be

00:48:31.240 misunderstanding

00:48:31.720 the ontological argument.

00:48:33.100 I have not researched it

00:48:34.040 extensively,

00:48:34.700 but I think it may be saying

00:48:35.720 that the fact that we have

00:48:36.960 the idea of God,

00:48:38.060 whatever God that may be,

00:48:39.500 is proof that God exists

00:48:40.720 because I can imagine

00:48:42.080 an 80-foot tall man

00:48:43.180 with three heads,

00:48:43.820 but that doesn't mean

00:48:44.460 that such a thing exists.

00:48:45.360 However,

00:48:46.100 where did I get

00:48:46.600 the concept for it?

00:48:47.480 Height, heads,

00:48:48.580 and men all exist,

00:48:49.960 so I can imagine

00:48:50.740 a combination of the above.

00:48:52.380 But from what would you draw

00:48:56.660 the concept of God?

00:48:58.500 And how many individual people

00:48:59.960 would have to do that

00:49:00.880 independently in order

00:49:01.660 for so many disconnected

00:49:02.640 civilizations to independently

00:49:03.720 develop the concept of a God?

00:49:05.360 I would put to you

00:49:06.400 that we can't imagine anything

00:49:08.200 we don't already,

00:49:08.980 at least in the back

00:49:09.540 of our minds,

00:49:10.100 have a grounding for.

00:49:11.400 In conclusion,

00:49:12.180 I would state that we believe

00:49:13.100 in gods

00:49:13.740 because we were made

00:49:14.940 for the purpose

00:49:15.440 of bringing glory to God,

00:49:16.480 and how can we do that

00:49:17.360 without an instinctive knowledge

00:49:18.380 of his existence?

00:49:19.120 And yes,

00:49:19.860 that can be perverted

00:49:20.500 into the worship

00:49:21.020 of false gods,

00:49:21.940 but where would we have

00:49:22.920 gotten the idea

00:49:23.600 to worship anything

00:49:24.500 whatsoever in the first place?

00:49:26.180 Animals don't worship anything.

00:49:28.560 First of all,

00:49:29.940 I mean,

00:49:30.740 said 17,

00:49:31.580 that's some,

00:49:31.860 that's very impressive

00:49:34.180 that you're thinking

00:49:34.740 through these issues.

00:49:36.040 Very cogent,

00:49:37.380 very coherent argument

00:49:38.380 you laid up.

00:49:39.700 What I would say

00:49:40.620 is a couple of things.

00:49:41.640 First of all,

00:49:42.380 what you're talking about there,

00:49:45.760 I don't think that is

00:49:46.540 the ontological argument.

00:49:47.940 The ontological argument

00:49:49.280 is an argument,

00:49:51.380 an attempt to argue

00:49:52.460 that God

00:49:53.520 is logically necessary.

00:49:55.380 So it's an argument

00:49:56.380 in the vein of

00:49:58.420 all squares

00:50:01.040 have four sides.

00:50:02.880 That is a logically

00:50:04.460 necessary statement.

00:50:05.900 It is self-evident.

00:50:07.920 A square by definition

00:50:09.620 has four sides.

00:50:11.400 Or if I said that

00:50:12.420 all bachelors

00:50:14.860 are unmarried.

00:50:16.940 It's self-evident,

00:50:18.100 logically necessary.

00:50:19.000 Because if somebody

00:50:19.900 is married,

00:50:20.460 then they're not

00:50:20.760 a bachelor anymore.

00:50:21.960 That's what an argument

00:50:23.360 of logical necessity is.

00:50:25.180 So that's what

00:50:27.140 the ontological argument

00:50:27.900 is trying to do,

00:50:28.900 is to prove that God

00:50:29.640 is logically necessary.

00:50:30.680 As I said on Friday,

00:50:32.920 I respect the attempt,

00:50:35.520 I like the attempt,

00:50:37.120 to try to prove

00:50:38.020 that God is logically necessary.

00:50:39.860 I think that's going to be,

00:50:40.780 if you can do it,

00:50:41.820 you're going to have

00:50:42.400 a much stronger argument

00:50:43.860 than the evidentiary arguments

00:50:46.220 where you're saying,

00:50:47.580 where you're pointing

00:50:48.160 to evidence

00:50:48.800 and saying,

00:50:49.360 oh, fine-tuning

00:50:50.040 or first cause

00:50:51.100 or any of these things

00:50:51.900 and saying,

00:50:53.500 based on the existence

00:50:54.420 of this phenomena

00:50:55.540 or thing,

00:50:57.100 it seems like

00:50:58.620 that would lead

00:50:59.060 to the conclusion

00:50:59.600 that God exists.

00:51:01.140 Those kinds of arguments

00:51:02.200 can be strong also,

00:51:03.280 but they're not going to be

00:51:04.000 as strong

00:51:04.700 as logical necessity arguments.

00:51:06.580 My point, though,

00:51:07.200 is I don't think

00:51:07.740 the ontological argument

00:51:08.580 is successful

00:51:09.400 in proving that God

00:51:10.360 is a logical necessity.

00:51:12.320 Even if I believe

00:51:13.140 that God is a logical necessity,

00:51:14.400 I don't think those arguments

00:51:15.580 do the job in proving it.

00:51:17.720 What you're talking about here

00:51:18.840 is more of an evidentiary argument

00:51:20.440 where you're pointing

00:51:21.940 to the fact

00:51:23.320 that people have

00:51:23.960 this concept of God

00:51:25.140 and saying,

00:51:26.340 well, that would seem

00:51:26.920 to indicate

00:51:27.440 that there is a God.

00:51:29.060 So I think it's a good argument,

00:51:30.680 but it's not ontological.

00:51:31.900 It's an evidentiary argument.

00:51:34.640 This is more,

00:51:36.300 if you read C.S. Lewis,

00:51:38.020 I forget which book

00:51:38.780 he talks about this,

00:51:39.540 probably in multiple books,

00:51:40.800 maybe mere Christianity.

00:51:42.960 He talks about

00:51:44.380 the argument from desire

00:51:45.580 where he says that

00:51:47.240 it's related to your argument,

00:51:49.380 not exactly the same thing,

00:51:50.320 where he says that,

00:51:51.420 you know,

00:51:52.480 I have this desire

00:51:53.560 for a reality beyond this one.

00:51:56.620 I have a desire

00:51:57.280 for a truth

00:51:58.840 beyond above

00:52:00.300 what I see around me.

00:52:03.360 I have a desire for God,

00:52:05.100 for an afterlife.

00:52:06.360 And it seems like

00:52:07.780 if I have a desire

00:52:10.080 for something,

00:52:10.720 there must be something

00:52:11.540 out there

00:52:12.140 that will satisfy it.

00:52:14.980 And he makes the point

00:52:16.700 that we don't develop

00:52:20.780 desires for things

00:52:22.040 that don't exist.

00:52:24.580 And I think that's true.

00:52:25.720 So I think that's actually

00:52:27.200 a little bit of a stronger

00:52:28.180 version of the argument

00:52:31.740 that you just made there.

00:52:33.560 Because someone could always say,

00:52:34.800 when you say,

00:52:35.200 well, you're not going to develop

00:52:36.380 the idea of something

00:52:37.400 that doesn't exist.

00:52:39.080 I mean,

00:52:39.880 that's arguable.

00:52:41.500 You know, people,

00:52:43.560 I mean,

00:52:43.840 my son,

00:52:45.500 six years old,

00:52:46.160 could sit down

00:52:46.700 and draw a monster

00:52:47.540 or something

00:52:48.100 and just something

00:52:49.280 completely out of his imagination.

00:52:50.980 And I mean,

00:52:51.300 you could always say that,

00:52:52.280 yeah, well,

00:52:52.760 he's basing that

00:52:53.580 on things he's seen

00:52:54.600 and so on.

00:52:54.980 But it is something

00:52:56.500 that is purely

00:52:57.080 out of his imagination,

00:52:57.860 something that doesn't exist.

00:53:00.300 Also,

00:53:00.840 but I think

00:53:01.620 the stronger retort

00:53:03.480 to your argument

00:53:04.080 is,

00:53:05.700 okay,

00:53:06.100 well,

00:53:06.320 maybe you're right.

00:53:08.020 But most people,

00:53:09.840 I think everyone,

00:53:11.420 our idea of God

00:53:13.180 is based

00:53:14.100 on what we see.

00:53:15.480 We all kind of

00:53:16.620 imagine God

00:53:17.440 as a guy,

00:53:19.620 as an old man

00:53:20.460 with a white beard

00:53:21.160 sitting on a throne.

00:53:21.860 I mean,

00:53:22.280 even if we know

00:53:23.700 that that's not

00:53:24.300 what God is,

00:53:26.120 when we're trying

00:53:26.760 to imagine God,

00:53:28.280 we're inevitably

00:53:28.960 going to end up

00:53:29.680 with some kind

00:53:30.700 of image like that

00:53:32.020 or thinking of God

00:53:33.520 as a man,

00:53:34.960 as a,

00:53:35.220 you know,

00:53:36.220 as a very old,

00:53:37.920 wise sort of man.

00:53:39.640 Again,

00:53:39.920 we know intellectually

00:53:40.720 he's not that,

00:53:41.500 he's much greater

00:53:42.480 than that,

00:53:43.100 but when we're trying

00:53:43.840 to imagine him,

00:53:45.180 that's what we end up with.

00:53:47.000 So I think someone

00:53:47.760 could respond

00:53:48.260 to your argument

00:53:48.700 by saying,

00:53:49.380 well,

00:53:49.940 okay,

00:53:50.240 maybe you're right.

00:53:51.060 You're not going

00:53:51.640 to have a concept

00:53:52.420 that doesn't exist.

00:53:54.560 Every concept

00:53:55.260 has to be based

00:53:55.860 on something that exists,

00:53:56.800 but your concept

00:53:58.100 of God

00:53:58.520 is just based

00:53:59.200 on people around you,

00:54:00.720 based on your dad,

00:54:01.640 you know,

00:54:01.820 based on whatever.

00:54:03.620 That could be

00:54:04.240 the response.

00:54:05.800 The desire argument

00:54:06.880 though is different.

00:54:07.560 I think there's

00:54:08.160 more to it there

00:54:08.920 where we do have

00:54:11.540 the innate desire

00:54:12.600 for God,

00:54:13.360 for a reality

00:54:15.540 beyond our own

00:54:16.440 that is a very

00:54:19.440 strong desire

00:54:20.360 and I think

00:54:21.600 that's where people

00:54:22.580 or everyone

00:54:23.880 develops their concept

00:54:24.980 of God.

00:54:25.860 Even if the concept

00:54:26.800 is wrong

00:54:27.480 or certainly incomplete,

00:54:29.320 which all of our

00:54:29.840 concepts of God are,

00:54:31.740 it still is

00:54:32.680 what is pulling us

00:54:33.980 in that direction.

00:54:34.560 There's a desire

00:54:35.640 pulling us

00:54:36.240 in that direction.

00:54:36.840 What is that desire?

00:54:39.140 And C.S. Lewis

00:54:39.720 would say,

00:54:40.220 look,

00:54:40.380 you can't think

00:54:41.240 of a desire

00:54:42.060 that exists

00:54:45.160 for something

00:54:45.660 that doesn't exist.

00:54:48.500 You know,

00:54:48.920 we desire food,

00:54:49.760 we desire

00:54:50.260 to drink,

00:54:52.140 we desire sleep,

00:54:53.000 we desire all these things.

00:54:54.340 We may desire

00:54:54.980 things that are wrong,

00:54:55.880 we may desire things

00:54:56.380 that are sinful,

00:54:56.920 but they all exist.

00:54:58.280 Like,

00:54:58.520 no one's ever

00:54:58.980 developed a desire

00:55:00.200 for a food

00:55:01.160 that just simply

00:55:02.280 doesn't exist

00:55:02.980 on Earth.

00:55:04.640 Right?

00:55:06.380 Or for a desire

00:55:07.800 to perform an activity

00:55:09.020 that is just,

00:55:10.200 that doesn't exist

00:55:11.800 anywhere.

00:55:14.240 So,

00:55:14.820 anyway,

00:55:15.060 I think that's

00:55:15.560 a version

00:55:17.060 of the argument

00:55:17.620 that is

00:55:18.440 a little bit stronger.

00:55:20.600 But the fact

00:55:21.600 that you were able

00:55:22.240 to come up with that

00:55:23.480 and sort of

00:55:24.760 go down that path

00:55:25.780 on your own

00:55:26.400 at 17

00:55:27.120 is very impressive.

00:55:28.500 All right,

00:55:28.860 we'll leave it there.

00:55:29.660 Thanks,

00:55:29.920 everybody,

00:55:30.120 for watching.

00:55:30.540 Godspeed.

00:55:31.540 Hey everyone,

00:55:45.240 it's Andrew Klavan,

00:55:46.040 host of

00:55:46.360 The Andrew Klavan Show.

00:55:47.560 At every level

00:55:48.480 of society,

00:55:49.220 people are being silenced

00:55:50.240 and controlled

00:55:51.000 by corporate

00:55:51.820 leftist overseers.

00:55:53.340 That's why

00:55:53.660 when Trump speaks

00:55:54.600 and acts

00:55:55.080 without fear

00:55:55.720 and sometimes

00:55:56.340 without thinking,

00:55:57.280 it sounds to us

00:55:58.120 like freedom.

00:55:59.040 That's what

00:55:59.600 this administration

00:56:00.200 is about

00:56:00.760 and that's

00:56:01.420 what the next election

00:56:02.120 will be about too.

00:56:03.160 We'll talk about it

00:56:03.900 on The Andrew Klavan Show.
