00:00:00.000 So a lot of people have called my attention to this. Take a look at it. It's Elizabeth Warren,
00:00:04.900 her campaign merch, a billionaire tears mug, a mug for all those billionaire tears because
00:00:11.160 she's making the billionaires cry. Of course, the headline here is that Warren has appropriated
00:00:16.220 our idea at the Daily Wire. She has stolen the leftist tears Tumblr concept and made this with
00:00:24.220 it. And now we know kind of how the Native Americans feel to be, to have Elizabeth Warren
00:00:28.660 stealing from us and from our culture, if you will, in that kind of way. But that's not really
00:00:34.680 the main point, in my opinion. The main thing is look at the price of this. $25. She's charging $25
00:00:41.520 for a coffee mug, a coffee mug that makes fun of capitalists, and she's charging $25 for it.
00:00:48.720 That is really perfect. I don't know if there's any better illustration of Democrat hypocrisy than
00:00:54.880 that. A $25 coffee mug, making fun of capitalists. Down with capitalists. Look,
00:01:00.940 we put it on a mug. Oh, cool. Can I have one of those? It'll be $25. And it's just for a mug,
00:01:07.400 a little coffee mug. This is a $7 item at most. She's charging more than three times what the
00:01:13.980 market will bear. It's one, you know, these little, the coffee mugs like that, you pour your coffee in
00:01:19.860 and the coffee's cold in 90 seconds. Now you get yourself a tumbler. That's going to keep it piping
00:01:25.640 hot for literally hours. Studies have proven, but don't quote me on that. But the irony doesn't
00:01:32.820 stop here. Look at the bottom of the page. It says, powered by Shopify. Shopify. Hmm. Okay. Shopify.
00:01:41.860 That's the company founded and run by, wait for it, a billionaire. So let's review here. Warren is using
00:01:49.440 a billionaire's company to sell a mug, making fun of billionaire capitalists for a $25 a piece.
00:01:57.500 And also some of that money is going to go right into the pockets of that evil billionaire. So if you
00:02:03.500 want to really stick it to the billionaires, then buy some product from them. That's what's being said
00:02:10.580 here. Glad we could get that all squared away. All right. Impeachment. The impeachment inquiry
00:02:18.580 hearings have started and I am honestly not going to spend very much time on it. One, because you've
00:02:28.920 probably already heard plenty of analysis, I'm sure. If you're interested in analysis, you've already
00:02:34.100 heard it. But two, because if I'm being totally honest with you, I am really bored to death by
00:02:40.580 the whole impeachment thing. I don't care that much. I think this impeachment is clearly a sham.
00:02:46.900 It's clearly partisan, clearly motivated by a desire to remove a president that the Democrats
00:02:51.240 have never accepted and have promised from day one to sabotage and impeach. And all the rest of it,
00:02:59.240 I find uninteresting. Also, and this is completely anecdotal, I admit. And tell me if this is your
00:03:05.060 experience. I'm interested to hear if this has been your experience as well. Here's my anecdotal
00:03:09.000 experience. It seems like this impeachment story, which by all rights, if you look at it objectively,
00:03:16.620 you would think be a huge story, everybody would be talking about. It's an impeachment of U.S.
00:03:21.920 president. But it seems like people don't really care that much. It seems like people aren't talking
00:03:28.300 about it. Twitter's talking about it. Cable news is talking about it. Political podcasts are talking
00:03:34.640 about it. I'm sure if you're in D.C., people are talking about it there. But it seems that the folks
00:03:39.080 out there in the country just aren't tracking this very closely and aren't discussing it,
00:03:45.120 regardless of their ideology. The Clinton impeachment, that was all anyone talked about
00:03:49.800 back in the 90s when that was going on. It was water cooler material, as they say.
00:03:56.080 I was in elementary school, and it was water cooler material for us, which was bad news,
00:04:03.540 considering some of the material that was discussed as part of that impeachment hearing. But
00:04:10.060 it was everywhere. It really penetrated into the culture, into the public conscious, in a way that
00:04:17.680 this impeachment really hasn't, it seems like. Now, like I said, that's anecdotal. I've been doing
00:04:27.040 a lot of traveling recently. I'm in a hotel right now, as you can probably tell. I've been in a lot
00:04:32.300 of airports, a lot of hotel bars. I've talked to a lot of people at various events that I've been doing,
00:04:37.320 and impeachment just doesn't really come up. I've done a lot of, you know, fundraisers at various
00:04:43.180 events, and I'm sitting around tables with people before I speak, and it's just talking about things
00:04:48.080 in the news. People aren't talking about the impeachment. I was down in the hotel lobby this
00:04:52.500 morning, getting breakfast, getting a massively overcharged, you know, too expensive hotel
00:04:58.480 breakfast. And CNN was on in the lobby where people were eating, and CNN was talking about
00:05:04.440 the impeachment. Nobody was watching. Nobody was watching the TV. Nobody seemed to be talking about
00:05:08.380 it. Well, you know, of course, CNN was on in the lobby because the only thing keeping
00:05:12.860 CNN in business are hotel lobbies and airports. So tell me if this is your experience. Are people
00:05:18.460 talking about it at the water cooler, at the dinner table, at the bar? I'm interested to hear
00:05:24.380 that. Though, in fairness, actually, of course, I've never worked at a place where people literally
00:05:29.320 stood around a water cooler and talked about things. I'm not sure if that's actually even a
00:05:33.320 thing, but it's just a, it's an expression. You get what I'm, it's a general expression, so you get
00:05:37.920 the point. But that's been, that's been my experience anyway. Hey, before we move on,
00:05:43.860 you know, we're never going to agree on, on any, everything, especially, or anything really
00:05:47.820 these days, especially something like impeachment. But I think we could all agree that we could all
00:05:53.240 use more sleep. Getting a great night's sleep is easier than ever thanks to the world's softest

00:06:44.460 Okay. By the way, here's AOC drooling over a drag queen. Watch this.
00:06:49.960 I thought it was amazing. It was incredible. It was fabulous. I'm like that Lady Gaga moment.
00:06:55.740 She's like stunning, amazing, impeccable, genius.
00:06:59.980 Yes. Can you believe it? From the revolutionary of our time. I love you so much. Thank you for being
00:07:05.400 here. That was AOC reacting to a drag show that she just watched. And this is why, and this is what
00:07:12.200 members of Congress do in the year 2019, the year of our Lord 2019, members of Congress go to drag shows
00:07:18.560 and then take Instagram videos later with the drag queens. This is why AOC is a fake feminist.
00:07:24.340 I'm more of a feminist than she is. Okay. I have more feminist credentials on my resume than
00:07:32.140 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez because I would never describe as fabulous and amazing the appropriation
00:07:39.820 of womanhood. That fella in the pink, in the pink dress there and the creepy alien makeup is making a
00:07:46.180 caricature of femininity. He is degrading women, appropriating and stealing from them, turning
00:07:54.220 womanhood into a cartoon. What you're seeing there, does any woman dress like that? Is that,
00:07:58.660 that is his impression. But what you have to keep in mind with these drag queens, that is their
00:08:04.180 impression of a woman. Would you consider, is that a, is that a complimentary impression?
00:08:10.200 If you're a woman, are you, do you feel complimented by that or does it seem degrading?
00:08:16.500 So, um, AOC, the fake feminist though, loves every minute of, okay, moving on. Do you know who
00:08:22.380 Ellie Goulding is? She's apparently a pop singer. Um, just for frame of reference, here's a little
00:08:29.860 bit of what she sounds like.
00:08:31.700 And if it wasn't you, I wouldn't want anybody close to me. Cause I'm an animal, animal, like animal
00:08:43.720 like you. And I don't want to be somebody without your body. Close to me.
00:08:52.200 Now for some god-awful reason, this person was invited to perform at halftime for the traditional
00:08:58.220 Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving game. Um, because when you think football, you think of that kind of
00:09:06.140 music, right? Yeah. That's what you want to hear at halftime. Get your punk pumped up for the second
00:09:10.200 half. Well, sadly, tragically, football fans may be deprived of the Ellie Goulding halftime show,
00:09:18.080 which talk about people talking about things at bars. I can tell you what, that is one thing
00:09:22.440 people have been discussing in my experience at bars, especially sports bars. You go to watch the game
00:09:26.820 and everyone's been talking about it. They've been saying, have you heard about Ellie Goulding?
00:09:31.120 Ellie Goulding is going to be performing in the halftime show. Really? Ellie Goulding?
00:09:37.520 Oh gee, I'm so excited. It was a real conversation I had with someone. Um, but we may be deprived of
00:09:45.580 it because the NFL has partnered with Salvation Army and Salvation Army is going to be kicking off
00:09:52.020 its iconic red kettle campaign during the halftime of, of, um, during the halftime show of, of that
00:09:57.900 game. The red kettle campaign, of course, those are the guys outside the grocery store with the red
00:10:01.620 buckets and the bells and asking for money for poor people around the holidays. And, uh, that money
00:10:09.800 goes to buying Christmas toys for poor children. It also funds various social service programs
00:10:17.280 throughout the year. Goulding was on board with all of this and she'd even done some Instagram stuff
00:10:24.680 where she'd been talking about working with Salvation Army and how excited she was.
00:10:29.000 But then some of her fans told her that no, the Salvation Army is anti-LGBT.
00:10:34.860 And immediately she just changed on a dime and now she's threatened to pull out of the show because
00:10:40.760 of the Salvation Army. She's trying to blackmail the Salvation Army now. And she actually issued
00:10:45.660 basically a ransom demand, which says, this is what she, the statement she, she, she published.
00:10:50.940 Upon researching this, I have reached out to the Salvation Army and said that I would have no choice
00:10:54.880 but to pull out unless they very quickly make a solid committed pledge or donation to the LGBTQ
00:11:00.640 community. I am a committed philanthropist, as you probably know. And my heart is, could there be
00:11:09.020 a more pretentious sentence than that? I am a committed philanthropist, as you probably know.
00:11:14.920 And my heart has always been in helping the homeless, but supporting an anti-LGBTQ charity is
00:11:21.620 clearly not something I would ever intentionally do. Thank you for drawing my attention to this.
00:11:27.200 So this really is, this is like a ransom demand.
00:11:32.220 If the Salvation Army, if they want me to perform, I'm going to need $6 million in unmarked bills
00:11:37.840 in a bag of cash. And on the bag, it should say, to the LGBTQ community.
00:11:47.540 You can meet me in a parking lot by the metro station at 12 a.m. Come alone.
00:11:54.000 Now, first of all, this threat only works if anybody in the world actually gives a damn about
00:11:59.460 seeing her perform at halftime. And of course, all jokes aside, we don't.
00:12:03.740 So the fact that she thinks she can threaten, she can threaten everybody. If I don't get what I want,
00:12:10.440 I am not going to perform during the NFL game. What does she, how does she think we're all going
00:12:15.980 to react? No, Ellie, please, please. I've been looking forward to this for years.
00:12:24.100 Second, what does donate to the LGBTQ community even mean?
00:12:27.980 What do you mean donate to the community? How do you donate to a community?
00:12:34.440 So you want them to take money away that was supposed to go to poor children around Christmas
00:12:39.940 time and, and, and, and poor families and instead give it to the gay lobby. That's what you want.
00:12:47.180 So do you want to decide, Ellie Goulding, which of those poor children are not going to get Christmas
00:12:52.260 presents this year because we needed this symbolic donation to be made to the LGBTQ community?
00:12:57.980 Are you going to come in and decide that? Which ones are going to be deprived of that?
00:13:03.840 Third, of course, this is just totally obscene. Goulding is a multimillionaire celebrity. She lives
00:13:09.680 in a $6 million mansion in South London. She's as privileged as it gets. And here she is trying to
00:13:15.360 hold a charity organization hostage, trying to boss people around who give food and clothing to the
00:13:21.540 desperately poor all across the world. Just think of the arrogance, think of the, the narcissism and
00:13:26.800 privilege. Well, you're going to say, I, I, I demand that this charity organization conform to my
00:13:32.860 ideological preferences. Yeah, they help the poor, but it's more important that they agree with me.
00:13:40.280 How absolutely gross is that? And this just goes to show again, that the left is completely owned by
00:13:49.380 the LGBT movement. They have to march to the LGBT drum. The demands of the LGBT come before even the
00:13:56.680 needs of the poor. Think about the fact that she was going to do this show. She was on board. She was
00:14:03.700 excited to work with the Salvation Army. And after a few Twitter comments or Instagram comments, just
00:14:11.300 immediately she backtracks. All it took was someone saying, but they don't like gay people. Oh, they
00:14:17.860 don't? Nevermind. Nevermind. Nevermind. No, no, no, no, no, no, nevermind. Utterly terrified of, of
00:14:24.960 upsetting the LGBTQ community. What are these people so afraid of? What, what do you think they're going
00:14:32.020 to do to you? Who cares if a few of them are upset? You're, you're helping poor people. What does it
00:14:38.700 matter? If there's some people in the LGBTQ community who are mad that you're helping the
00:14:44.260 poor, that's their problem. Why should that matter at all to you? And the fourth thing we should
00:14:53.020 mention here is that the charge made against the Salvation Army is bogus. Of course, the Salvation
00:14:57.520 Army serves and helps all poor people, regardless of orientation. Uh, that doesn't even come up when
00:15:04.780 they're helping people. They're not asking them, are you gay or are you straight? That, that question
00:15:10.520 doesn't come up. The only reason they're accused of being anti-LGBT is because they're a Christian
00:15:15.360 organization that affirms the biblical view of marriage. And, and also in their shelters, in the
00:15:22.140 shelters affiliated with the Salvation Army, from what I've read, biological men are required to bunk with
00:15:27.720 other biological men. And this is supposedly anti-trans, but actually it is pro-women. This is
00:15:34.680 protecting women by not putting men in with, with women and girls at a, at a homeless shelter.
00:15:41.360 That's protecting women, which is something that Ellie Goulding should support and be a fan of,
00:15:46.000 but apparently she's not because it's all about just conforming to the whims of the LGBTQ community.
00:15:54.060 And let me say this, the fifth thing in, in, you know, not, not that I really care that much,
00:15:59.300 but in, in terms of optics, the LGBT community, the gay lobby, in terms of optics, this kind of
00:16:07.540 thing is just awful. This is awful branding. When you're going after a charity organization on the,
00:16:15.220 as we, as we get ready for the holidays and Christmas time, and all they're trying to do is
00:16:19.600 give toys to, to poor kids and you're going after them, you know, you come off as arrogant,
00:16:27.880 a bully, cruel. That's how you come off.
00:16:35.080 Okay. Now a word from policy genius. Tis the season to elect benefits through your workplace,
00:16:40.860 of course, as we, as we get into the, into the holiday season, most people know open enrollment
00:16:44.880 as a decision time for healthcare coverage, but it's also the perfect moment to reassess
00:16:51.060 your life insurance needs to properly provide for, for their families. Most people need 10 times
00:16:56.060 the life insurance coverage that they get through their jobs 10 times, which means that your employer
00:17:00.700 life insurance is probably leaving you underinsured and it could be leaving your family in a bad
00:17:06.740 position. And that's where policy genius can help. Policy genius is the easy way to shop for a life
00:17:11.140 insurance plan. That's not tied to your job in minutes. You can compare quotes from top insurers

00:17:33.880 to get quotes and apply in minutes. Policy genius, the easy way to compare and buy life insurance.
00:17:38.580 So I want to give you the latest on the Daleiden case. This is a reading now from a report in the
00:17:44.560 Daily Wire says the judge in the baby body parts trial of activist and journalist, David Daleiden
00:17:49.280 was ordered, has ordered the jury to find him guilty of trespassing at Planned Parenthood conferences
00:17:54.840 and clinics before the jury retired to consider the verdict. So the judge has ordered the jury to find
00:18:01.880 Daleiden guilty of trespassing. Planned Parenthood is suing Daleiden and his colleagues after they were,
00:18:08.060 after they released secretly recorded videos of executives haggling over the sale and price of
00:18:12.320 baby body parts from abortions in their facilities, Daleiden is contesting all the charges. However,
00:18:18.040 Judge William Orrick told the jury that he has decided to find Daleiden guilty of trespass during
00:18:23.660 his undercover journalism. Daleiden previously lost an attempt to have Judge Orrick removed from the
00:18:28.300 case, alleging he was biased against the defendants. He said, I have already determined that these
00:18:33.400 defendants trespassed at each one of these locations. Because I determined that these defendants
00:18:37.700 trespassed, the law assumes that Planned Parenthood has been harmed and is entitled to an award of nominal
00:18:42.020 damages. The Planned Parenthood originally sought $20 million in damages for trespassing, fraud,
00:18:51.320 and RICO conspiracy against Daleiden. The judge reduced potential damages to $600,000,
00:18:57.140 which is still an enormous amount. Now, here is the important point, important note in the article.
00:19:07.300 It says, Planned Parenthood is not suing Daleiden for defamation or slander, and the organization's
00:19:12.860 lawyers did not state that the videos were inaccurate or exaggerated. Now, I think that's really important,
00:19:19.720 and that is a point that even as I've talked about the cases involving Dave Daleiden, that I don't think
00:19:27.340 I've emphasized enough, that what is Planned Parenthood claiming as they are pursuing in various states
00:19:34.420 these legal repercussions against David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress? Well, they're not
00:19:41.360 saying that, hey, you came in and you made up these videos and you deceptively edited them and you
00:19:49.400 made it seem like we sell baby body parts when really we don't, and that's defamation and that's
00:19:54.060 slander and all the rest of it. If that's what Daleiden had done, then they could very easily prove it,
00:20:00.740 and that's what they would be suing for, and they would have a great case. But instead, what they're
00:20:07.660 saying is, no, it's not that what you discovered is untrue, it's that we're taking an issue with the
00:20:14.760 means that you used to discover it. So that's their problem, right? And I think that's important
00:20:21.560 because back in whenever it was, 2015, when these videos first started coming out, Planned Parenthood
00:20:26.960 claimed the phrase they kept repeating over and over again, like an incantation, was deceptively
00:20:32.840 edited, deceptively edited, deceptively edited. They claimed that basically this is all fraud,
00:20:38.180 this is all made up, fake news, deceptively edited, and all the rest of it. But they're
00:20:45.860 not saying that in court, though, because they know they can't get away with it because they know
00:20:49.900 that these videos were not deceptively edited, that these videos do reflect the truth, that these
00:20:56.220 were actual conversations that Dave Daleiden and the other people at Center for Medical Progress
00:21:01.340 had with Planned Parenthood officials. They know that. And we know they know it because actually
00:21:07.640 back in 2015, they did their own forensic investigation of the videos, hired a third
00:21:14.600 party to come in, look at the videos, and find the deceptive edits. And wouldn't you know it,
00:21:21.060 they didn't find any deceptive edits. They said in their own report that it was not substantially
00:21:25.420 edited in a deceptive way. Obviously, it was edited for time. You've got hours and hours of footage
00:21:30.400 being condensed down to a 20-minute YouTube video, even though Daleiden did also release the raw
00:21:37.060 footage you could go look at. But he also had the 20-minute, well, sort of, here's the main point,
00:21:42.080 this is the headline here. But other than that, no, they didn't stitch things together to make it seem
00:21:47.420 like Planned Parenthood was selling baby body parts. They actually were. Planned Parenthood has
00:21:53.760 admitted that, essentially, implicitly admitted it by the fact that if you look at what they're
00:22:01.240 actually suing for. So this is a case that should be, as I said, getting a lot of our attention,
00:22:08.780 you know, if you're a conservative pro-lifer. I think David Daleiden, being that he's done the
00:22:16.920 most important undercover journalism of the century, he should be a household name, at least for
00:22:22.260 conservatives. But he's not. A lot of conservatives still have never heard of him or don't know the
00:22:27.340 name. Because for some reason, his plight just has not gotten a lot of attention or coverage
00:22:34.840 when this is real undercover journalism that he did. And this is why you have undercover journalism,
00:22:49.200 because if you suspect that a powerful organization is engaged in criminal or unethical
00:22:54.560 behavior, yeah, you could ask them. You could just go and say, hey, by the way, are you guys selling
00:22:59.700 baby body parts for profit and changing your abortion techniques so that you can preserve the
00:23:03.700 most profitable parts of the body to then sell for scientific research? Are you guys doing that?
00:23:11.160 Well, no, we're not. Oh, well, then never mind. That's not journalism. That's how the mainstream
00:23:17.380 media conducts journalism, especially when it comes to the abortion industry. But real journalism is
00:23:24.140 saying, well, let me go and try to get to the truth. And that's what they did. And there's a
00:23:27.480 long history, a long tradition of undercover journalism where, yes, you are using tactics where
00:23:34.320 you are falsely presenting yourself in order to gain access and get the truth. There's a long history of
00:23:39.380 that. That's what undercover journalism is. And if they're saying, Daleiden can't do that,
00:23:44.820 or he's going to face legal penalties, what they're actually saying is you're not allowed
00:23:48.020 to do undercover journalism anymore. So this isn't just an attack on the pro-life movement. This is
00:23:53.020 an attack on the First Amendment. This is an attack on journalism, a real attack on journalism.
00:23:59.120 And, but obviously the mass media is not covering it. I think at least conservatives should be paying
00:24:05.520 attention to this, especially considering what Daleiden and his, uh, and, and, and, and, and the
00:24:15.020 others at, at the CMP, what they achieved and what they were able to reveal. It's just stunning.
00:24:24.500 Okay. I've been meaning to mention this. I was in Chicago last week. I went to, um, I was speaking
00:24:31.140 in Chicago and I went to the hotel restaurant and tried to order what I thought was a sandwich.
00:24:40.180 The description made it sound like a sandwich. In fact, I actually asked the bartender what the
00:24:46.340 thing was because I was a little unclear, but based on the description and she said, it's basically a
00:24:51.440 sandwich. Okay. So then they brought it out and, and here's what they brought to me. This is what it
00:24:57.020 looked like. Just look at that thing. That is French toast, powdered sugar, jelly, cheese,
00:25:06.120 and Turkey. Now I'm told that this is a Monte Cristo. That's what it's called. Traditionally,
00:25:15.100 I'm told the Monte Cristo. Um, I had gone my whole life without ever being exposed to this monstrosity.
00:25:22.380 Unfortunately, the good Lord had protected me until this fateful day. I guess, I don't know if this
00:25:27.000 is a, on the East coast, I don't think we really have Monte Cristo's. I never heard of it before.
00:25:32.580 Apparently people like these things. So is this a Midwest thing or, or what is this? Is this what
00:25:38.120 you people eat? My God, it was revolting. It was a crime. It was a disgrace to sandwiches. First of all,
00:25:45.580 this is like something that a drunk person would dream up at 3am. And I know that sounds like a
00:25:49.600 compliment maybe, but it's really not this, this is not, this is not food. You can't just slap a
00:25:55.820 bunch of crap on a plate and call it a dish. I can't, I couldn't go and scoop scraps out of my
00:26:01.240 garbage disposal and put it in a bowl and give it a fancy name and call myself a chef. This is an
00:26:07.240 abomination before God where lucky he doesn't send another flood in, in retribution for this.
00:26:12.640 How dare you Chicago? How dare you? First, you try to pass lasagna off as pizza. You put lasagna on,
00:26:22.120 on crust and you call it pizza. Something that has to be eaten with a fork and you call it,
00:26:28.360 you have the gall to call it pizza. And now this revolting, offensive.
00:26:34.080 I mean, I know this comes to maybe as news to people in the Midwest, but you really can't put
00:26:44.780 cheese on everything. I like cheese as much as the next guy, but you can't just throw cheese on,
00:26:50.540 on everything. So putting cheese, well, meat on French toast is, but cheese on French toast,
00:26:58.500 you got, you got to cool it. Okay. And heart disease is a thing too, by the way.
00:27:07.760 Fortunately, I was able to, fortunately I, I, there was a Chick-fil-A right across the street. So
00:27:12.120 I was able to salvage the day by tossing that garbage in the garbage can where it belongs
00:27:19.020 and going to Chick-fil-A. Okay. Let's go to emails. MattWalshow at gmail.com. MattWalshow
00:27:25.480 at gmail.com. Uh, this is from Surinjin, uh, says, dear Matt, what is your stance on tipping
00:27:31.780 for food delivery when the restaurant charges a mandatory delivery fee? Also, why do you not
00:27:36.220 join, join Clavin, Knowles and Shapiro for the daily wire backstage episodes? Sincerely helping
00:27:40.720 to one day have a beard, even as half as, even half as magnificent as yours. Um, okay. Second
00:27:47.700 question. First, as for the backstage, I get this question a lot. I would love to do them more.
00:27:51.640 The main issue is just one of geography. They're all in LA at the studio. I'm hiding in my cave on
00:27:57.480 the East coast and I, I like my cave on the East coast, but sometimes I, I do feel a bit like, you
00:28:04.820 know, if you, if you move across town or something, and now you go to a different high school from your
00:28:10.360 friends and you're still friends, but they're all making memories without you. And they have all these
00:28:15.200 inside jokes. And when you hang out on the weekends, they bring up the jokes and you don't really get
00:28:21.980 the context, but you, you want to, but you want to fit in. So you laugh. You say, Oh, that's, that's
00:28:27.100 a good, that's great. And they say, Oh no, you weren't there for that. You weren't there. And you
00:28:32.300 say, Oh yeah, I know. I was just, I was just, yeah. And then you start crying internally. So that's,
00:28:38.880 that's sometimes the situation I'm in, but it's fine. You know, I don't feel, I don't feel left
00:28:45.200 out. Anyway, what was your other question? Um, the, uh, yes, mandatory delivery fees.
00:28:53.060 How, uh, and how does that affect your tip? Well, obviously a mandatory delivery fee is going to
00:28:57.280 affect the tip, but the degree to which the tip is mitigated will depend on the, on the delivery fee.
00:29:05.120 So if for instance, you're ordering $35 worth of pizza and there's a $3 delivery fee. Yeah. You're
00:29:11.460 going to throw a few dollars on top of that. You don't get out of the tip just because there's a
00:29:15.140 little bit of a delivery fee. Now, if we're talking about room service, where there's a $5 delivery fee
00:29:23.420 and a 20% tip top on top of it. And, uh, after all the fees and everything are counted, you're paying
00:29:29.680 $87 for a $7 sandwich. Well, in that, and then they still leave room. They still leave room for
00:29:36.360 additional tip. It's like taxes, you know, additional fees, room service, uh, uh, somehow
00:29:44.400 like room service and delivery fee are two separate things. And then also 20% gratuity. Oh, here's,
00:29:51.420 if you want to give more to, I don't have anything left. What else can I give? You want me to donate
00:29:56.380 blood? Give an organ? Let me rip out my organ. That's what I'll do next time. I ordered room
00:30:01.120 service. I would just rip out my spleen and put it on the receipt. Here you go. You happy now?
00:30:08.480 I mean, really you shouldn't be ordering room service at all. I only do it because I'm lazy
00:30:13.800 and antisocial. And also I can just charge it to the daily wire anyway. So what difference does it
00:30:19.940 make? Don't tell them I said that. Okay. Let's go to, um, the next one is from Daniel says,
00:30:25.860 dear Matt, I'm a daily listener to your show and a big fan. I have to admit these past few days,
00:30:29.700 I've begun to question your credibility. I've been watching your show with great interest this
00:30:33.580 week as you, as you've expertly taken the left to task over important issues, such as the
00:30:37.640 sexualization of children, the defense of convicted rapists, law enforcement, gender identity, family
00:30:41.580 relationships, and religion. But Matt, I am shocked, even a little appalled that you have
00:30:45.200 completely and entirely ignored the biggest news story of our time. It has been two whole days,
00:30:50.140 Matt, since great American hero, Sean Spicer was voted off of dancing with the stars and your
00:30:53.700 silence on this national tragedy is deafening. I know this is a tough time for all of us,
00:30:58.300 Matt, and I'm sure you're truly heartbroken like the rest of us. But if there was ever a moment in
00:31:02.100 which the country needs your leadership to heal and unite us, that moment is now. Well, Daniel,
00:31:07.840 I was trying to observe a respectful silence. I didn't want to gloat in the wake of what to some
00:31:16.620 people is tragedy. I know nerves are a little bit raw, but as you know, I was a staunch opponent
00:31:22.960 of Sean Spicer's dancing. I believe he set white people back decades. So I celebrate his ultimate
00:31:31.600 defeat. It didn't come soon enough, but I thank God it did. And may God have mercy on his soul for
00:31:39.920 what he has done. And may God have mercy on all of us for what we have done in allowing this man
00:31:47.920 to make it as long as he did on dancing with the stars. One other thing. People have asked me,
00:31:55.920 why did, why did I care so much about Sean Spicer on dancing with the stars? Why did I take it so
00:32:01.900 personally? Well, I'll tell you why. Because dancing is my passion. It's my life. It is the
00:32:12.920 thing that I cherish the most. It's basically my second language. It's how I express myself.
00:32:20.260 Even in my home, when my wife comes into the room, ask me a question. Oftentimes I will dance
00:32:25.700 in response. I'll say nothing. I'll just start dancing. And then my kids will come in and they'll
00:32:31.660 say, what is daddy doing? I'm scared. And my wife will say, I'm sorry. You had to see this again,
00:32:35.500 kids. The point is Spicer was especially an insult to people like me, you know, people in the dance
00:32:42.780 community. And I know it doesn't surprise you to learn that I'm a big, a big dancer. When you see
00:32:47.480 me, the first thing you think is professional dancer and you're right. So that is why one of
00:32:52.360 the reasons why I took it so seriously. This is from Jim says, Matt, first of all, I just want to say
00:32:59.480 that I'm a huge fan. I really appreciate your strong moral convictions on social issues. I hope you
00:33:03.600 take this as a compliment. It's meant to be when I say that I think of you as this generation's
00:33:08.340 Dr. Laura, is there any chance? Well, I first time I've gotten that, I have to say, is there any
00:33:15.860 chance that the daily wire would give you a second show where listeners can call in and you dispense
00:33:19.820 advice to help solve their moral dilemmas? Second, and more importantly, what is your opinion on the
00:33:25.140 existence of Bigfoot? Is there an as of yet undiscovered species of giant upright walking apes living and
00:33:31.020 hiding in the vast forests of North America? Or is that just an old wives tale? First of all,
00:33:37.380 the phrase old wives tale is patriarchal and sexist. How dare you? Second, uh, didn't the guy who, who the
00:33:43.220 guy, the original guy who had that photo of Bigfoot, didn't he admit it was a scam? Wasn't there like a
00:33:49.980 deathbed confession or something? Am I making that up? I might be partly making that up, but I'm pretty
00:33:54.120 sure the original Bigfoot guy basically admitted that he made it up either way. Uh, I know, I don't
00:34:00.640 believe that there's an undiscovered species of man-apes hanging out in the forests of North
00:34:04.760 America. Apes who, even in the year 2019, are only ever spotted by people with cameras from the 1860s.
00:34:13.380 That, that's my problem. Every person who has ever seen a Bigfoot has, has basically, has, has basically
00:34:19.040 had the same camera they used at the Gettysburg Address. And, and, and that makes me suspicious. So
00:34:24.540 I don't believe it. I want to believe it. It'd be cool if it was true, but, uh, I don't.
00:34:32.480 From Aaron says, dear Matt, my name is Aaron. On today's show, you argue that you're saying, uh,
00:34:36.480 you argue that saying you are in the wrong body doesn't work according to the secular worldview,
00:34:39.980 because without a soul, you are your body. Playing devil's advocate here, I would respond that I am my
00:34:44.960 mind, not my body. And I was born with a body not compatible with my mind, which said, which would
00:34:49.940 mean it's a birth defect. And so it can justifiably be corrected surgically. How would you respond to
00:34:56.000 this argument? Thanks for everything you do. Huge fan. Love the show. Yeah, Aaron, but what is the
00:35:02.300 mind? Again, this is from a secular naturalistic worldview, right? From that perspective, what
00:35:08.180 would you say your mind is? Well, I'll tell you what it's not. It's not some immaterial, incorporeal
00:35:14.520 entity that transcends your body. This is material worldview. You don't believe in that. That's the
00:35:19.880 point of being materialist. Um, it isn't like some kind of speech bubble, um, hanging over
00:35:27.660 your head, right? Uh, so your mind is not that your mind is not, uh, you know, it's, it's,
00:35:36.760 it's, it's not some kind of thing that hangs out inside your head behind your eyes, the way
00:35:43.280 we sort of perceive it. No, from a materialist worldview, your mind is really
00:35:48.880 it's not anything on its own. It's, it doesn't exist. It's more of an illusion as its own
00:35:57.720 entity. Our, our, from this perspective, our, uh, sensation or experience of having a mind
00:36:09.060 as if it is some separate thing that would be an illusion. If you're a materialist, uh, the
00:36:15.800 way I've heard it compared when materialists are talking about their philosophy of the
00:36:20.820 mind, I've heard it compared to digestion. Okay. So because the mind is something that
00:36:27.200 your body does, it is a function of your bodily organs. The digestion is a function of your
00:36:32.740 body. It isn't a separate thing. Your mind is a function of your body. So from this way
00:36:38.580 of thinking, saying that your mind is female and your body is male is like saying that your
00:36:42.520 digestion is female and your body is male. It doesn't make any sense. So what would that
00:36:46.780 be? If you get bloated a lot, you're going to say, Oh, I have a female digestion. No,
00:36:52.120 it makes no sense. It's uncoherent. There's no way to make sense of that. So it seems like
00:36:56.900 that you'd have to say, if you want to be a materialist and try to make the transgender
00:37:00.440 theory work, you'd have to say that you have a female brain inside a male body, but that doesn't
00:37:07.940 work for a number of reasons. Number one, the left would certainly deny in any other
00:37:11.700 context that there is anything like a female brain. Number two, your brain is part of your
00:37:17.840 body. It's not a separate thing that gets plunked in there afterwards. It is your body.
00:37:22.140 Number three. So what you're saying is I have a female body inside a male body. Number three,
00:37:27.580 by this way of thinking, male and female are just biological physical terms, which really
00:37:31.980 by any coherent way of thinking, they are biological physical terms. So the only sensible
00:37:35.940 definition of female brain is a brain existing in a female body. That is by definition, what
00:37:41.700 a female brain is. So saying I have a female brain in a male body, it'd be like saying I
00:37:47.080 have female hands on a male body, which, okay, maybe you have girly, small, smooth hands, but
00:37:53.880 they're not really female hands because they're attached to you. So they're yours and you're a man.
00:37:59.700 Um, now you could say I have feminine hands, uh, which I really don't, I'm proud to say, but
00:38:08.700 some people do, um, you could say I have feminine hands, just like you could say someone has a more
00:38:14.860 feminine personality, but they're still a man. Number four, I go back to the same issue I've
00:38:22.280 raised a million times, even if it did make sense to talk about male brains and female brains,
00:38:27.660 and even if they could be mismatched and, and, and, um, and all of that, how would you know
00:38:32.900 that you have a female brain in your, in your male body? Nobody has ever, ever sufficiently
00:38:38.520 answered that question for me. And they can't answer it without either a falling back on gender
00:38:44.840 stereotypes, i.e. I have a female brain because I feel sensitive and I like pink things or B using
00:38:52.220 circular reasoning. I had, i.e. I have a female brain because I have female feelings and I know
00:38:57.320 that they are female feelings because I have a female brain and they go around in a circle.
00:39:01.020 It doesn't work. So I don't think there's any way to justify that without either circular
00:39:05.240 reasoning or going into the gender stereotype thing, which, which we're supposed to be getting
00:39:09.140 away from those I thought. Um, so it seems to me that in order, if you want to even have a chance
00:39:19.340 of making this work where somehow there's a mismatch and you are somehow mystically, even though you
00:39:27.480 appear to be a man and you've got all the man parts, you're really a female. You can't do that
00:39:32.680 without introducing some concept of a soul or a spirit. You really can't. But the problem is you
00:39:39.880 can't really introduce soul and spirit without introducing God. Um, and if you introduce God,
00:39:48.080 then, and he's a creative entity that's created all these things. So that makes him at the very least
00:39:54.240 extremely powerful and extremely smart and wise at a minimum, right? Um,
00:40:01.980 and now you're suggesting that that being accidentally put a female soul in a male body.
00:40:10.440 Does that make any sense? I mean, what, what would be more likely that God made a mistake and put a
00:40:19.340 female brain or female, uh, soul in a male body by accident, or that you're making a mistake and you
00:40:25.760 just think that you're a female soul in a male body, but really you're not what, who's more likely to make
00:40:31.580 a mistake in this scenario. So that's the problem you run into if you're going the, uh, the, you know,
00:40:37.460 supernatural route. And so it doesn't work there, but then if you try to turn around and go, okay,
00:40:43.720 now I'm going to go nat the natural route, the naturalist naturalistic route, it doesn't work
00:40:47.080 there either. So it seems like it just doesn't work. Uh, the, the whole transgender idea, left-wing
00:40:52.720 gender theory, it, it does not work at all. No matter what road you go down eventually,
00:40:57.460 and it won't take that long, you're going to run into, you're going to go right off a logical cliff
00:41:03.320 and you're going to be floating on a cloud of nonsense.
00:41:10.040 And, uh, but thank you for the question. And I think we'll leave it there. Thanks everybody
00:41:12.860 for watching. Thank you for listening. Godspeed.
