The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 405 - It's Sexist Not To Believe Warren, According To Her Supporters

00:00:00.000 Well, while the debate was happening last night, a debate that excluded Mike Bloomberg,

00:00:05.760 Bloomberg was spending his billions of dollars coming up with a brilliant marketing campaign

00:00:11.300 that would outshine what any debate could put forward. I mean, this guy's worth $58 billion,

00:00:18.080 $58 billion. Do you think he needs a stinking debate to get attention? No, no, not at all.

00:00:23.900 So last night during the debate, Bloomberg unveiled his brilliant strategy,

00:00:31.140 the strategy that only a man with $58 billion to spend could possibly devise or afford.

00:00:36.120 And here it is. This is the tweet that he sent out that was sent out by his campaign during the debate.

00:00:41.940 It says, test your knowledge, spot the meatball that looks like Mike.

00:00:47.940 And then there's a bunch of meatballs and one has his face imprinted on it.

00:00:53.900 Wait, so this, you're comparing yourself to a meatball. You are comparing yourself to a meatball.

00:01:07.480 That's the plan. That's the marketing plan that $58 billion comes up with. Compare yourself to a

00:01:14.100 meatball. I mean, I'm trying to imagine how this conversation went. There had to have been a

00:01:20.040 conversation. And so it must've been something like, you know, Bloomberg comes in. Okay, folks,

00:01:24.940 I'm very rich. If you didn't know, I want the best possible PR strategy. I need a killer plan,

00:01:31.560 something revolutionary. Then someone raises their hand. Well, Mr. Bloomberg, you know, we could,

00:01:36.840 yes, yes, Johnson. What is it? What's your plan? Well, we, we, we could, we could compare you to a

00:01:43.440 meatball, meatball, meatball. Yes. Yeah. Meatball. Like with spaghetti, we could, you know, it's,

00:01:48.380 we could point out that you look like a clumpy, lumpy clump of ground beef because that's the case

00:01:55.140 we want to put forward to the voters. Genius. Somebody buy this man a Ferrari. I just, and you

00:02:02.160 know, what's unfortunate about this. You see that picture and you're like, well, you know what? He

00:02:06.620 actually does look like a meatball. I never noticed that before, but now I do. So now every time I see

00:02:11.560 Mike Bloomberg, I'm going to think about meatballs. I don't know if that's really the,

00:02:14.540 the association he wants us to make, but, um, oh, well, what are you going to do? I tell you one

00:02:20.840 thing. If, if Trump, if Donald Trump, and I'm serious about this, if Donald Trump does not nickname

00:02:26.820 Mike Bloomberg meatball after this, then he should be impeached on that basis alone.

00:02:33.760 Mike, the meatball, meatball, Mike, or just meatball, any of those, the possibilities are endless.

00:02:39.500 I've been saying for a couple of years now, it's concerned me. I think Trump's nickname game has

00:02:46.020 slipped considerably since the 2016 election. Now's a chance to reclaim it. Meatball. You got

00:02:52.720 to go with it, Trump. Okay. As for the debate itself, it was easily the least entertaining

00:02:58.800 debate yet. And that's saying something, of course, because the bar for entertainment with these debates

00:03:03.540 is very, very low. I think part of the problem is that CNN kicked out every candidate who might have

00:03:09.600 something different, something interesting to say, anyone who might stir things up a little bit,

00:03:15.260 um, they kicked out. And all we got were the boring talking point spewers, like the most boring people

00:03:21.900 in the, in the field are the only ones left at this point. No Yang, no Gabbard. Um, interestingly

00:03:28.620 enough, the only candidates invited on the stage were white. Sure. It's just a coincidence, right?

00:03:36.180 I mean, that stage was whiter than a, than a wine and cheese festival. It looked like, it looked like

00:03:39.880 a Tupperware party up there with all the whiteness. Now, I mean, I guess we have to conclude that CNN

00:03:46.440 is racist. That's, that's, those are the rules, right? Those are their rules. So I, you know,

00:03:54.460 it's not my rules. I'm just saying we, we have no choice. According to CNN's rules, according to

00:03:59.020 liberal rules, CNN is racist. The DNC is racist. Along with being racist, CNN is also unabashedly

00:04:06.340 in the tank for certain candidates against others. And that came out last night, especially when the

00:04:12.100 discussion turned to this dispute between Warren and Sanders about whether Sanders said in a private

00:04:17.100 meeting between himself and Warren that a woman can't win the presidency. He was asked about this,

00:04:22.520 a comment, by the way, that I don't believe he made, but even if he did, who cares? It's not

00:04:26.560 sexist. Okay. So it doesn't even matter. This whole, this whole, this whole dispute is completely

00:04:30.760 ridiculous. Who cares if he said it means nothing, but I don't think he did. Um, he was asked about

00:04:36.280 this. He denied it. He pointed out that he's always said going back 30 years, he's always said

00:04:40.120 publicly that he thinks a woman could win the presidency. Also pointed out that Hillary Clinton ran

00:04:44.160 for president in 2016, got 3 million more popular votes than Donald Trump, which obviously proves

00:04:48.620 that the American people are willing to vote for a woman, not only a woman, but they're willing to

00:04:53.540 vote for the worst woman in America. So only imagine what they would be willing to do if it was a

00:04:59.380 slightly better woman than that. So his denial is perfectly plausible, um, and believable. Well,

00:05:06.000 he didn't say the thing about Hillary Clinton being the worst woman in America. That's me. I'm

00:05:09.740 editorializing a little bit. And, um, you, you know, if you're watching the debate, you maybe were

00:05:17.360 expecting, if you were watching the debate under the delusion that CNN is a legitimate news operation,

00:05:23.620 then you probably were expecting that after, uh, Sanders said, no, I didn't say that CNN would turn

00:05:29.920 to Warren and ask her directly if he did say that, and then ask her to justify or explain that claim,

00:05:37.140 right? That's what you would expect. If, if, if, if CNN is a, is a real news out outfit,

00:05:44.420 you, that's what you would expect. But, um, that's not what happened. Here's what happened instead.

00:05:50.840 Senator Sanders, I do want to be clear here. You're saying that you never told Senator Warren

00:05:56.440 that a woman could not win the election. That is correct. Senator Warren, what did you think

00:06:02.540 when Senator Sanders told you a woman could not win the election?

00:06:07.140 I disagreed. Bernie is my friend and I am not here to try to fight with Bernie,

00:06:13.780 but look, this question about whether or not a woman can be president has been raised and it's

00:06:20.020 time for us to attack it head on. Um, and I think the best way to talk about who can win

00:06:26.140 is by looking at people's winning record. So can a woman beat Donald Trump? Look at the men

00:06:32.840 on this stage. Collectively, they have lost 10 elections. The only people on this stage who

00:06:39.420 have won every single election that they've been in are the women, Amy and me.

00:06:44.980 Holy wow. That. So to review what happened here, the moderator asked Bernie about this thing he

00:06:57.060 supposedly said. He denied it strenuously. Then the moderator blatantly dismissed everything he

00:07:04.660 just said, directly contradicted him, openly took Warren's side and asked her about it on the

00:07:11.260 assumption that it actually happened. Thus saving her from having to actually directly address the

00:07:16.940 claim or justify it. So she, the moderator contradicted Bernie, dismissed it, and then

00:07:24.120 bailed Warren out. Amazing. I mean, it's not amazing. It's, it's, it's not amazing that CNN would

00:07:30.040 act with such partisanship and with such a lack of integrity. What is maybe a little bit surprising

00:07:35.040 is that they'd be so unabashed about it. They'd be so open about it. After, after the debate, uh,

00:07:42.960 hashtag CNN is trash was trending and it wasn't because of Trump fans. It was, it was these, even

00:07:48.400 liberals are starting to catch on. Now, um, I have more to say about this Warren Sanders thing, but I

00:07:55.480 don't want to skip over or forget the comic relief of the night. And this is the part that I think,

00:08:00.780 uh, I said, it was not entertaining. This was the only entertaining part of the entire night.

00:08:06.260 Uh, and, and maybe, maybe the most awkward moment I've ever seen at a debate. I can't think of a

00:08:11.760 more awkward moment than this. Uh, and this even includes all of the GOP primary debates in 2016 and

00:08:19.580 2015. Uh, all the debates, including Jeb Bush, who's just, he's just the personification of awkward,

00:08:25.420 even more awkward than that, even more awkward than the, the famous fight between, uh, Trump and,

00:08:32.460 uh, Marco Rubio about the size of Trump's situation. Even more awkward than that was this.

00:08:39.900 Um, this is like something straight out of the office or something. It's, it's a comically,

00:08:43.880 comically awkward. Watch this. Just to set the record straight. I defeated an incumbent Republican,

00:08:49.620 uh, running for Congress. When? 1990.

00:08:56.880 That's how I won. Beat a Republican congressman. Number two. Of course, I don't think there's any

00:09:04.300 debate up here. Wasn't it 30 years ago? I beat an incumbent Republican congressman. And I said,

00:09:11.780 I was the only one who's beaten an incumbent Republican in 30 years. Well, 30 years ago is 1990.

00:09:18.980 As a matter of fact, but I don't know that that's the major issue of the day.

00:09:23.960 That is brutal. Just the awkward pause there. Everything. This really have, has vibes of being

00:09:33.240 at a dinner table with a married couple when their marriage is kind of on the rocks and they're

00:09:38.340 contradicting each other at every turn and having these, these awkwardly hostile interactions.

00:09:43.220 And you're just sitting there like, uh, and trying desperately to change the subject. That's,

00:09:49.120 that's, that's what it reminded me of. Um, but before we change the subject from, uh, Bernie Sanders

00:09:56.300 and Elizabeth Warren, one other thing about this, this, uh, this he said, she said between Warren

00:10:02.000 and Sanders, Warren's supporters are perhaps not surprisingly utilizing me too rhetoric to defend her.

00:10:13.220 Now remember me too is supposed to be allegedly about sexual assault. Well, they're, they're going

00:10:19.560 in that direction with this. They have actually defended her on the basis of the believe women

00:10:26.200 slogan. Now that's, that's what they're saying. Remember believe women was the thing that they

00:10:31.560 said during the me too movement. We should believe women when they accuse someone of sexual assault

00:10:37.400 or harassment. Well, Warren supporters are using that now in this case against Bernie Sanders, who is not

00:10:44.680 being accused of anything approaching sexual assault. He's being accused of at most making a slightly rude

00:10:52.700 comment to, um, Elizabeth Warren, which I actually don't think is rude at all. So just a few examples

00:10:59.260 here. Uh, Julia Loft, a correspondent for GQ apparently wrote last night, still thinking

00:11:06.520 about the Warren Bernie squabble. And I have a question to people who have accused Warren of lying.

00:11:11.600 Isn't the lesson of me too. And the last few years that we believe women and don't call them liars

00:11:17.120 other variations on this theme from near a Tanden, the president of a center for American progress.

00:11:23.720 She says, believe women, unless it doesn't work for your ambition, apparently from the always insane

00:11:31.200 Amanda Marcotte. She says, I think that Warren got the better of Sanders in that exchange,

00:11:35.080 but who knows how it will play out. I also thought that eight women accusing Al Franken of groping was

00:11:40.220 rock solid evidence that he's a groper, but apparently a lot of people prefer to believe that women love

00:11:45.040 lying from Jessica Ellis, who's an actor or something like that. I think said, just FYI, I double checked and

00:11:51.400 there is no except with Elizabeth Warren clause in that whole believe women deal from Natalie

00:11:57.880 Montelong, Montelongo, a former Obama staffer. Elizabeth Warren is fire right now, quickly confirming

00:12:04.680 what she, what was said in the private conversation, then pivoting the pointing out that only the women

00:12:09.400 on the stage have won all their races. But all I got to say is believe women. Uh, Maura Donaghan,

00:12:18.080 a self-proclaimed angry feminist writer for the guardian said, I just wrote a book laying out

00:12:22.780 point by point how women are denied and demonized when they come forward with a sexual assault

00:12:26.740 allegation. So watching Warren be disbelieved and blamed using the same tactics after saying men,

00:12:32.920 a man said something sexist to her is pretty surreal. Okay. So you get the idea and you see what's

00:12:40.680 happening with believe women. It went from believe women because they wouldn't lie about sexual assault

00:12:47.960 specifically to believe women because they wouldn't lie about anything. It went from women are always

00:12:55.340 credible on this one subject of sexual assault to women are morally flawless saints who are above

00:13:01.560 reproach on all subjects. So now when you accuse a woman of lying about anything, you've got wackos

00:13:10.620 like Amanda Marcotte saying, Oh, so you think women just love lying? Huh? Think about how dumb and crazy

00:13:17.400 that would sound if you tried it with any other demographic. Imagine if, if, if, uh, I don't know,

00:13:22.920 I was in a parking lot and I hit somebody's car with my car and I tried to drive away and then they come

00:13:27.760 running out. They say, Hey, Hey, did you just hit my car? And then, and then I respond with, Oh, so you

00:13:32.720 think, you think Catholics just love hitting cars, huh? Well, I didn't hit it, but I saw you hit it.

00:13:39.840 Oh, Oh, so now you think that Catholics are all a bunch of liars, huh? By the way, I'm, I'm, I'm six,

00:13:47.460 I'm six foot tall. What does that have to do with anything? Well, because now you think that all tall

00:13:51.080 people are a bunch of liars. Of course it sounds, um, just as dumb and crazy when you apply it to

00:13:59.760 women. When you, when, when, when you try to make a statement of skepticism about one woman's claim

00:14:05.760 about one thing into a sexist attack on all women everywhere, it's, this is the dumbest kind of

00:14:14.620 emotional blackmail, but it works. I mean, it works on a lot of people. A lot of people can be

00:14:23.380 successfully shouted down this way where they timidly will suggest that, Oh, you know, I don't

00:14:30.420 know if I believe her about this. Oh, so you think women are liars? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

00:14:34.440 no, no. Yeah. She's probably right. She probably did say it, but here's the point. The progression from

00:14:40.360 believe women about sexual assault to believe women about everything was totally inevitable

00:14:48.160 because if we're going to accept that somehow for some unknown reason, women never lie about sexual

00:14:55.820 assault. If we're going to accept that there is any subject where women are always honest,

00:15:03.040 then why not every subject, right? Because on, on whatever basis, by whatever justification,

00:15:09.420 we argue for the 100% credibility of all women on this particular subject, that same argument could

00:15:16.420 apply to any other subject. So these, uh, Warren supporters are really just extending the argument

00:15:22.320 in a logical way. The problem is that the argument itself is the height of illogic. It doesn't make

00:15:28.780 any sense whatsoever. Do I think that women can lie? Uh, yes, of course I do because women are human

00:15:36.160 beings and human beings are flawed. I think women are just as likely to lie as men. It's, it's, I, I,

00:15:48.220 it's, it's really, it's, it could go either way. And in this, in this particular case, you know,

00:15:54.920 when you know something about the people and you can look at their track record, well, then you can make

00:16:00.580 hopefully even more accurate judgments. And in this case with Elizabeth Warren, we know that she's a liar.

00:16:07.800 We, we, we have documented evidence of her lying.

00:16:12.640 So that's going to weigh against her here.

00:16:16.920 And yeah, I, you know what, I'm not even going to get into the fact that once again, as I always point out,

00:16:22.140 you can't even do this anymore. This whole thing about women, you know, these, these blanket statements

00:16:26.920 about women, you can't do this anymore because you don't know what a woman is. And a woman doesn't

00:16:30.660 mean anything. The whole term means nothing anymore. Uh, men can be women, women can be men.

00:16:35.380 So I got to throw that in as well. It's on, on just, just one more layer of nonsense to all of this.

00:16:42.900 All right. Um, before we move on, let's check in with stamps.com. You know, time is precious and

00:18:26.700 never go to the post office again. So, um, a man in Kansas is in the middle of a divorce with his

00:18:34.860 wife and he's made an interesting suggestion. He he's requested from the judge that, uh, he be allowed

00:18:42.640 to settle the divorce with swords trial by combat is what they used to call it back in the day. He's

00:18:49.300 requesting that the court battle turn into a battle with Japanese swords. Um, though he will allow his

00:18:55.580 wife to use a stand in. So it could be his, her attorney or someone, someone else. I mean, I can

00:19:04.120 imagine if you're going through a divorce, the possibility of being able to get into a, you know,

00:19:08.900 a duel with swords with your wife's attorney is probably, probably rather, rather a, uh, fun

00:19:14.940 thing to think about. But anyway, very gentlemanly of him, I have to say that he's allowing his wife

00:19:19.220 to use a stand in and we'll see how this shakes out. But dueling is technically legal in, in many

00:19:26.160 U S States. It hasn't been officially abolished or prohibited. And I have always said, I mean,

00:19:32.400 I've been saying for years that I unironically support dueling. I think it's a, I always have. I think

00:19:37.620 that, I think we should bring it back. I think it would make for a much kinder, more polite society.

00:19:45.120 In fact, we were just talking yesterday about how, especially SJWs leftists, um, feel,

00:19:51.920 feel totally entitled to just walk up to people and hit them in the face. We saw that video of, uh,

00:19:58.700 this Univ character assaulting a journalist who tried to ask him a question. Well, you bring dueling

00:20:05.000 back, not so much of a problem anymore. So that's something I would like to see, you know,

00:20:11.120 this is what we need our political candidates to be talking about. I'll vote for the first one of

00:20:16.980 them that seriously suggests we should at least consider maybe, you know, form some sort of

00:20:23.400 exploratory committee to consider the pros and cons. That's all I'm asking for. Okay. Well, um,

00:20:30.160 moving on, there's a, there's a new art exhibit that you can go check out if you want, just opened

00:20:36.560 in New York. It's called abortion is normal. That's the name of the art exhibit. And the point

00:20:42.360 of the art exhibit is to send a message that, well, abortion is normal. And here's a little

00:20:47.520 propaganda piece that, uh, speaking of Bloomberg, this is a propaganda piece that Bloomberg News

00:20:52.000 put together for it. The reason the show is important aside from, I guess, the obvious,

00:21:09.400 um, which is we're continuing to fight and ensure that our reproductive rights are maintained. It's

00:21:18.780 important because we're trying to make a statement that reproductive rights are not just a women's

00:21:24.780 or cis women's issue, but an issue that affects everyone. We're in a time where although a lot

00:21:29.420 of progress has been made, until progress stops at a point where everyone actually has equal

00:21:36.540 reproductive rights and the ability to choose whatever they would like to do with their own

00:21:41.260 body, we need to continue to fight and make a splash. Some people think the title is provocative,

00:21:47.020 but honestly, women have been getting abortions for over millennia. And it's only in the last

00:21:53.260 hundred years or so it's been hijacked by the right wing.

00:21:59.100 Right. All right. First of all, can we go back to the first second of this video? Just freeze frame

00:22:08.140 it right there. Okay. So you're doing normal wrong. This is, that's not normal. If feminists,

00:22:16.380 the problem with feminists, they have no idea what normal is, so they want to call things normal. They

00:22:21.340 don't know what that means. They say abortion is normal. And the first image they show us is one of

00:22:26.300 a large naked woman in a weird, in a weird mask, squatting on a stool and leering at the camera.

00:22:32.220 That's not, you know, when I think normal, that's not where my mind goes.

00:22:38.700 I would call that image many things. Normal probably is not on the list. Besides which,

00:22:47.340 why do they need abortion to be normal? What's the point of that? It's like the left can't decide

00:22:56.060 if normal is good or bad. They, they, they kind of waver back and forth on this one minute.

00:23:02.300 They're justifying something on the basis that it's normal. And the next minute they're tearing

00:23:06.220 things down on the basis that they're too normal. So for example, could I argue, would,

00:23:12.140 would, would any leftist find it persuasive if I argued for traditional gender roles on the basis

00:23:18.540 that it's normal and many societies have had them going back thousands of years? Would that work for

00:23:24.460 a leftist? Of course not. No, but killing your baby is okay because lots of people have done it for

00:23:29.260 thousands of years. Here's a, I think here's a general rule that holds true most of the time.

00:23:38.060 Um, and that is this, if you have to go around insisting that something is normal, you know,

00:23:46.140 that's a pretty good indication that it isn't. That's sort of the whole, the whole point of a,

00:23:52.220 of a normal thing is that you don't have to tell people it's normal. So I wouldn't need to start a

00:23:57.420 campaign or have an art exhibit called blue jeans are normal, where I'm insisting that it's normal

00:24:03.660 for people to wear blue jeans because everybody knows it's normal because everybody wears them.

00:24:06.860 And so you don't need to tell people. But besides that, um, like I said, it's, it's irrelevant

00:24:14.380 because normal doesn't mean good. Is abortion normal? It, I mean, in a sense, yeah, it is.

00:24:22.540 In the, in the sense that you've got, you know, hundreds of thousands of babies are killed every

00:24:26.380 year. 60 million have been killed in this, in this country since Roe v. Wade. So it is kind of a

00:24:32.380 normal thing in the sense that it happens regularly across the world. You've got, uh, you know, 50

00:24:37.580 million abortions every single year, 50 million. And yes, you go back thousands of years. There have

00:24:43.740 been societies, barbaric societies that have murdered their children.

00:24:50.140 So if by normal, we just mean lots of people do it, then yes, abortion is normal, quote unquote,

00:24:57.500 but also by that definition, then lots of other bad things are normal. Lying is normal. Even for

00:25:05.100 women, as we've covered, stealing is normal. Murder is normal. Gossip is normal. Gluttony is normal.

00:25:12.060 Envy is normal. All of the seven deadly sins are normal. All of these things are normal, but that

00:25:17.340 doesn't make them good or right or, or preferable, obviously. But this is the kind of sort of grasping

00:25:27.340 at straws that you see the supporters of abortion do because they can't, it's, it's very difficult

00:25:33.980 for them to, uh, present an argument that abortion is actually a good thing or actually morally acceptable.

00:25:44.220 So they're, they're grasping for other things. And in this case, they're saying it's normal.

00:25:48.060 Yeah. Yeah. Who cares that, um, that is not the point at all. In fact, I would say,

00:25:55.980 yes, it's normal. That's the problem. It's, it's a problem that it's normal in this society for us to,

00:26:06.060 to, to look at children as cancers or inconveniences,

00:26:11.020 as obstacles in the way of our greater fulfillment. And it's a problem that a normal solution for that

00:26:19.980 issue is to kill them. That's a problem.

00:27:16.180 This is from Lynn says, hello, Matt. I was wondering if you happen to see this statement

00:27:22.420 from somebody on your favorite site, Twitter. It is my favorite site. I hate to say, uh, and then

00:27:28.320 she provides a link from somebody named Morgan Jerkins and apparently a bestselling author.

00:27:33.960 And she says, um, well, that's what she says about herself in the bio anyway. And the tweet says,

00:27:40.140 um, writers do not date or invest any significant amount of energy into a person who does not read

00:27:46.960 your work. So that's Morgan Jerkins. Uh, now back to Lynn says, I've often wondered if your wife

00:27:54.440 listens to your show slash reads your work. If so, how does that affect what you say and write? If at

00:28:00.120 all, if not, do you agree with the tweeter that this is a problem? Um, yeah, Lynn, first of all, I,

00:28:07.840 I, uh, I, I, I have, I did see that, that, um, thing that somebody tweeted and I, I disagree with

00:28:16.620 the tweeter as you call her. Um, I totally dead ass disagree. I mean, that sounds like excellent

00:28:23.120 advice for anyone who wants to be alone and miserable forever, because if you're a litmus test

00:28:28.620 for a potential mate is that they have to be a fan of yours. Well, that's just called narcissism.

00:28:33.980 That is called pathological narcissism, narcissism and also insecurity. And it is not a recipe for

00:28:40.920 relational success to put it mildly. Um, my wife, since, since you asked does listen to my podcast

00:28:48.940 sometimes. She does read some of my stuff. Uh, she's not the most loyal listener or reader that I

00:28:54.800 have. And, and that's perfectly fine. It's more than fine. Actually, I think it'd be, it'd be,

00:28:59.060 I'd be kind of uncomfortable if my wife was a huge fan. I mean, if I was like her favorite writer and

00:29:08.040 her favorite podcaster, uh, actually favorite, I'd be uncomfortable with that. You know, I like for

00:29:15.080 her to have interests outside of me personally. Now, when I say that your, your spouse shouldn't be

00:29:22.140 your fan, uh, I mean that in a certain sense. In another sense, if by fan, we just mean supporter,

00:29:27.920 encourager, somebody rooting for you, uh, then yeah, obviously you're, you should be a fan of

00:29:34.100 your spouse and your spouse should be your fan in that sense, but not the, not, not fan in the

00:29:39.580 sense of like somebody who asks for your autograph. Okay. So I'm talking about that sense of fan.

00:29:44.180 And in that sense, no, I wouldn't want my spouse to be that. That's weird. Uh, and by the way,

00:29:50.520 writers aren't special there. That's just one way to make a living. So if the spouse of a writer

00:29:57.060 has to read everything that they write, then it stands to reason that the spouse of a plumber

00:30:01.340 has to take a real interest in plumbing and the spouse of a mechanic has to love cars,

00:30:07.360 et cetera. But obviously it's perfectly fine if you're a mechanic and your wife knows nothing

00:30:11.600 about cars and doesn't care. It's fine. It's like, it's a perfectly fine if you're a writer

00:30:16.580 and your spouse isn't a big reader and maybe isn't really interested in the stuff that you write.

00:30:20.400 Who cares? I think, um, I think what's important is, uh, is respect. Okay. And if I want to be

00:30:30.840 gracious and generous to the person who wrote this, uh, this tweet, I would say maybe that's

00:30:37.880 what she was going for. And she just communicated it, um, awkwardly, which has a bestselling writer.

00:30:46.180 According to her, she should be able to communicate better than that through the written word,

00:30:49.180 but maybe that's what she was going for. I, we talk about respect. Okay. So it's crucial that

00:30:55.640 your spouse respect what you do. If, um, if my wife had no respect for my work, well, that would be

00:31:03.420 hard to handle. I don't need her to love all of it. I don't need her to read all of it, but in general,

00:31:11.220 I do need her to have respect for what I do, just like she needs me to have respect for what she does.

00:31:14.780 And, uh, if you don't have that in a marriage and there are, you know, that's, there are marriages

00:31:20.000 where that's the case, where there's no respect between spouses. And that's obviously deadly for

00:31:25.460 a minute. You just, you can't, you can't survive very long in a circumstance like that. Okay. This

00:31:31.580 is from Dolph says, Oh, great bearded one. Dead ass is New York city slang for serious or real or not

00:31:39.420 joking. Examples. I'm dead ass equals I'm serious. Wait, I'm, I could just say I'm dead ass.

00:31:49.420 Okay. Um, also another example, uh, he dead ass ate that whole cake equals he really ate that whole

00:31:56.420 cake. It can also be applied as a question, but the context as a question implies if it's a threat

00:32:01.960 or if you're dead ass asking if they're dead ass, I'm confused. Okay. So he says, if you and I are

00:32:08.740 having a conversation and you tell me your kid broke a window, I'll use dead ass to ask if you're

00:32:14.480 a hundred percent serious about them. However, if you step on somebody and the response is them asking

00:32:19.820 if you're dead ass or just a simple dead ass, this has now escalated to the threat of a fight.

00:32:25.040 I hope this helps you understand. Well, Jeremy or, uh, Dolph, I, I don't need help understanding. I

00:32:34.440 get it. Okay. Look, fam, it's lit bro. Okay. I dead ass. I get it. All right. I'm, I'm, I'm,

00:32:43.860 you know, I'm the coolest dad on this block for a reason. Main reason being I'm the only dad on the

00:32:50.100 block because we live in the middle of nowhere, but still when my kids are teenagers,

00:32:54.700 they're going to look, they're going to be raising the roof as the kids say at how cool their dad is.

00:33:01.440 They're going to know their dad is the, is the bomb for a fam. Um, and this is from Jeremy, uh,

00:33:10.220 says I'm the classic longtime listener, first time emailer, and wanted to ask you for some personal

00:33:15.360 advice. I wanted to know whether I should delete Twitter, keep my cartoon avatar account or change

00:33:20.520 the account to my real name. I must preface that I live in Canada and that's the biggest

00:33:24.580 reason I ended up creating a cartoon avatar account. I do fear the potential social and

00:33:29.360 government reaction to my thoughts. As I know, uh, recently I was banned temporarily for stating

00:33:34.640 that there are two genders or even putting out tweets, questioning the bias of the RCMP when they

00:33:39.640 put up rainbow flags and emblems in place of the normal Canadian flag, which also got me banned

00:33:45.200 temporarily. Personally, I'm leaning towards deleting my account. However, I have a sort of love hate

00:33:49.880 relationship where I do like being able to vent sometimes about the insanity from the left rather

00:33:54.620 than going to my friends or family. I greatly admire your thoughts and feel free to reach out

00:33:58.820 to me anytime. Thank you for very much for your time. Um, well, Jeremy, I I'm, you know, and I'm dead

00:34:05.360 ass serious about this. I guess I don't need to add, okay, that's redundant. So I'm, I'm serious,

00:34:10.220 serious about this. Uh, I would say delete your account. I mean, if, if those are the options that

00:34:15.900 you're weighing, then I would say just delete it. And honestly, it's got nothing to do with your

00:34:21.580 being afraid of, of backlash or reprisals or anything. I think if you're, if you're posting

00:34:26.960 anonymously, you're probably pretty safe from that. But I think just in general, um, social media is an

00:34:34.300 enormous waste of time. And I think it's, it's eating our souls and our lives. And if you can escape

00:34:43.580 it, then I would definitely say escape. And I say that as someone who makes a living on the internet

00:34:48.960 and on social media. And, uh, you know, I, I give this advice to people all the time. If everybody

00:34:55.500 took my advice and stopped going on the internet and stopped using social media, or at least cut

00:34:59.720 way, way, way back, that would destroy my livelihood. And I'd have to go and get a real job. I don't want

00:35:05.280 to have to do that, but I'm still, I still just have to be honest with you. So selfishly, I want you to

00:35:11.080 stay on Twitter and I want you to stay, you know, use the internet as much as possible.

00:35:14.960 That's my selfish feeling. But in reality, if I'm being honest, I think it'd probably be better for

00:35:19.300 you and for everybody. If you didn't, I'll tell you the honest truth of it. Okay. Um, and I know

00:35:25.760 you can say it's easy for me to say this and it is, but it really is true that if I, if I didn't have

00:35:31.260 to be online for my job, uh, I wouldn't be, I would, I wouldn't be on Twitter if I didn't have to be

00:35:37.600 there. I wouldn't be on Facebook. Um, I'm not going to say I would never use the internet,

00:35:42.980 but I would use it sparing. And part of the way that I know that is that when I, uh, go on vacation

00:35:49.440 or something, or I have off for a few days where I don't have to pay attention at all. Um, I don't,

00:35:55.880 I generally don't use the internet at all. I don't use social media and I don't miss it. I have no

00:35:59.940 compulsion to use it. You know, if I could take off for two weeks, which I rarely am able to, but

00:36:05.840 if I do, I, I really have no desire to pick it up and go on social media. Um, when I'm in the thick

00:36:13.500 of it, you know, on a, on a regular day, it, I do feel the compulsion, but if I can put it down for a

00:36:20.240 minute and just separate myself from it, then that compulsion goes away very quickly. So it's a,

00:36:24.840 it is, there is an addiction there, but it's a very weird kind of addiction

00:36:28.080 in that it's, it's really intense when you're in the midst of it, but it's also really easy to break.

00:36:35.280 I think it's probably true for anyone. If you were to just, if you were to, here's what, here's my,

00:36:39.420 here's my suggestion for you, Jeremy. Um, what I would suggest is try this just trial basis.

00:36:49.840 Don't go on social media for a week, just a week and see how you feel. I'm betting I'd put a lot of

00:36:57.500 money on this, that after a week you have no desire to get on it because you'll, you'll discover

00:37:02.960 that you're happier without it. It wasn't making your life any better. You'll find other things to

00:37:09.620 do with your time and you'll probably have very little desire to pick it up and go on it again.

00:37:14.840 So just, just give it a shot. And that's what I would say. Um,

00:37:19.220 and, uh, I think we will wrap it up there. Uh, but thanks everybody for watching and thanks for
