The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 684 - A Hill To Die On

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Wall Show, Kristi Noem, the governor of South Dakota, has become the latest conservative to surrender, seemingly surrender, on the women's sports issue.

00:00:08.420 Today we'll talk about why that's a bad idea. This is a hill worth dying on, and we'll talk about why.

00:00:14.140 Also, five headlines, including one woke company releases an ad that promotes transgenderism in children,

00:00:20.940 and another woke company pulls their ads from The Daily Wire because one leftist with a Twitter account and five followers told it to.

00:00:27.460 And our Daily Cancellation will deal with the latest celebrity to come out in support of fat acceptance.

00:00:32.900 That and much more today on The Matt Wall Show.

00:00:41.540 You know, as a conservative, I'm often told that whatever opinion I happen to be expressing at any given moment is, quote, not the hill to die on.

00:00:49.180 No matter what the opinion is, no matter the issue being discussed, I am sure to hear from a hundred members of the peanut gallery who will all warn in ominous tones that by expressing this point of view, whatever it is,

00:01:01.180 I am not only dying on a hill, but to make matters worse, it's the wrong hill.

00:01:06.200 You sure you want to die on this hill, they ask?

00:01:08.660 The question is rhetorical.

00:01:09.960 They've already decided that I should not want to die on it, but I will if I keep talking.

00:01:14.040 Now, the thing about these people and their dire warnings about untimely deaths on wrong hills is that they never give any suggestions as to the right hill.

00:01:22.760 Now, they're sure that this issue, whatever the issue happens to be, is not worth this kind of fight, but they won't indicate which issue is worth this kind of fight.

00:01:31.860 It's become apparent to me that the don't die on this hill crowd, especially those who call themselves conservatives,

00:01:36.780 are so confident that every hill is the wrong hill precisely because they've decided that no hill is the right hill.

00:01:44.480 They're prepared to surrender every hill, except defeat on every issue, one at a time, one after another, until there are no more hills left to defend.

00:01:53.180 Then they can turn around in triumphant defeat, shrug their shoulders and say, well, looks like all the hills have been taken,

00:02:00.160 and then go home to their couch and their Netflix account and live the rest of their lives in the comfort of subjugation.

00:02:07.140 Now, my strategy is quite the opposite of this.

00:02:09.860 I would rather die on every hill, no matter how great or small.

00:02:13.360 It doesn't require any real bravery to take this position, you know, as dying on a hill means not really dying,

00:02:19.200 but really just enduring mean comments from people on the Internet.

00:02:22.500 Now, I've died on a million hills, and yet, yet I live, because death on a metaphorical hill is nothing like death on a physical one, it turns out.

00:02:32.600 But while the ever-growing contingent of cowards and defeat fetishes on the right continue to surrender hill after hill in succession,

00:02:42.340 abandoning their posts faster than the Minneapolis PD abandoned their precinct to BLM arsonists,

00:02:47.280 it's important to identify, I think, the most important hills for the rest of us to defend.

00:02:53.540 As much as I, as I said, I would love to die on all of them, and I do choose all of them,

00:02:58.480 from emojis all the way up, okay, in terms of the severity of the issue.

00:03:05.180 But even so, I think it's important to figure out what are the most important issues, the most important hills.

00:03:12.320 And I would say that one of them, a central hill, perhaps the central hill, is certainly the issue of gender.

00:03:19.820 Now, to acquiesce to the left's agenda on this front, to submit to their attempted erasure of biological reality,

00:03:26.880 is to give up on logic, truth, morality, and science.

00:03:31.260 In a word, it is to give up on everything, everything that matters.

00:03:36.760 It is to abandon the last hill.

00:03:39.360 Governor Kristi Noem of South Dakota, to the surprise of many,

00:03:44.860 not to the surprise of me, because I'm never surprised to see this from a Republican, I don't care who it is,

00:03:50.180 but she is one Republican willing and ready to do just that, to abandon the last hill.

00:03:54.700 After excitedly encouraging her state legislature to pass a bill banning males from female sports,

00:04:01.060 she suddenly, at the last minute, changed her mind.

00:04:03.720 Upon receiving the bill on her desk, the bill that she said she would sign,

00:04:06.620 a bill which would put, you know, put a halt to the march of gender madness, 1.00

00:04:12.720 at least in South Dakota, and at least in the realm of sports,

00:04:15.960 after receiving it, Noem flinched.

00:04:18.000 She announced that, actually, she couldn't sign it, as is,

00:04:20.840 mostly because she doesn't want the ban to extend to the collegiate level.

00:04:25.960 Her reason is that banning males from women's sports in college might make the NCAA mad, 1.00

00:04:31.400 and they might try to, quote, punish South Dakota for it.

00:04:35.040 Now, I'm not exaggerating, I'm not being reductive here.

00:04:38.420 That's really her reason. That's what she said.

00:04:40.900 She doesn't want to make them mad because they might punish her.

00:04:44.480 Here she is explaining it at a press conference yesterday. Listen.

00:04:47.800 I want to be very palms up with each and every one of you here today.

00:04:51.760 Okay. These legal scholars think that South Dakota's chances of winning a lawsuit against the NCAA are very low.

00:05:00.140 The NCAA is a private association. That means they can do what they want to do.

00:05:05.040 And even though fundamentally, I fundamentally disagree with them when it comes to this issue,

00:05:10.080 if South Dakota passes a law that's against their policy, they will likely take punitive action against us.

00:05:16.060 That means they could pull their tournaments from the state of South Dakota.

00:05:18.940 They could pull their home games. They could even prevent our athletes from playing in their league.

00:05:23.900 That's their prerogative.

00:05:25.460 So a fight that doesn't truly protect women's sports and doesn't allow women to compete ultimately is going to hurt South Dakota families.

00:05:34.440 And if the NCAA did take action against the state of South Dakota, we could sue them.

00:05:39.280 I know we could do that.

00:05:40.920 But these respected legal scholars inform me that we would likely lose at that level,

00:05:46.800 facing the court circumstances that we have in front of us.

00:05:50.120 So we could pass a law.

00:05:52.000 Then we could get punished.

00:05:53.680 Then we could face expensive litigation at taxpayer expense.

00:05:57.280 And then we could lose.

00:05:59.720 Well, there it is.

00:06:01.120 Now, Noam was on with Tucker later that night to further explain her position.

00:06:05.500 And it was more of what you just heard there.

00:06:07.060 She's concerned that imposing sanity and fairness at the college level may spark a fight with the NCAA that she doesn't think that they can win. 0.63

00:06:15.760 She thinks she's going to lose.

00:06:17.260 Now, this is, I think we could say, the most quintessentially Republican line of reasoning that you'll ever hear.

00:06:24.800 To surrender a fight preemptively based on the fear that you might lose it.

00:06:29.340 Well, we're going to lose this fight.

00:06:30.480 So let's just lose it on purpose.

00:06:33.260 We're going to lose it anyway.

00:06:34.040 And she's also worried that Amazon might be mad and might abandon the state as well. 1.00

00:06:39.760 We should know.

00:06:40.260 Now, to me, you know, these seem like profoundly unthreatening threats.

00:06:46.640 This is one of those things where is that a promise or a threat kind of situation?

00:06:50.000 The NCAA might flee from your state.

00:06:52.720 Amazon might go with them. 1.00

00:06:54.040 Good.

00:06:54.700 Let them go.

00:06:55.980 Who cares?

00:06:58.780 Why is that a problem?

00:07:00.040 That seems to me to be more of a perk, if anything.

00:07:05.680 But whether it should make us sad or not, if the NCAA and Amazon doesn't want to be our friend, the fact is that the consequences are worth suffering.

00:07:17.220 Let's pretend that those are really are dire, terrible consequences.

00:07:20.660 So what?

00:07:21.140 I mean, quite literally, any consequence would be worth suffering for this.

00:07:27.700 And I really mean that any consequence.

00:07:31.820 And a lawsuit, certainly.

00:07:34.500 A lawsuit that you're going to lose.

00:07:36.120 That's a consequence worth suffering.

00:07:37.660 Because this is not just about women's sports. 0.98

00:07:42.900 Let's be clear about this.

00:07:44.240 This is not merely a matter of devising some practical plan to make sure that the girls of South Dakota can play volleyball unencumbered.

00:07:52.960 It's not just what this is about.

00:07:54.680 As the left has pointed out, there haven't been many biological males attempting to intrude into female sports in that state.

00:08:00.600 It's been a problem in other states, and it's going to increasingly be a problem.

00:08:04.680 But in South Dakota, it has so far not been a significant problem.

00:08:08.300 And it may never be a significant problem in South Dakota.

00:08:12.220 The problem may never reach epidemic levels there.

00:08:15.280 That's true.

00:08:17.140 But that's not the point.

00:08:18.880 At least that's not the whole point.

00:08:20.340 The point is to make a statement, to draw a line, to defend what is sane and reasonable because it is sane and reasonable.

00:08:29.620 It shouldn't be necessary, but it is.

00:08:33.340 Laws are not just laws.

00:08:35.920 They are messages.

00:08:37.700 Society communicates its values, communicates what it finds acceptable through laws.

00:08:44.520 Now, the left knows this, and they act upon it.

00:08:47.600 They use the law.

00:08:49.740 They use it to help shape public opinion, to help shape what society sees as acceptable, what it sees as wrong and right.

00:08:58.780 And it works.

00:09:02.940 Now, the right, one of its many problems, still doesn't understand this.

00:09:07.200 It used to understand this, but it doesn't anymore.

00:09:09.160 Many on the right still want to pretend that the fight over women's sports is motivated purely and only by our concern over our daughters having a fair opportunity to be captain of the track team.

00:09:22.900 It's not just, yes, that's part of the concern.

00:09:26.620 But that's not the whole thing.

00:09:27.820 If it was just about your daughter on the track team, then I would say, you know, it's actually not that big of a deal.

00:09:32.900 But that's not it.

00:09:37.600 You know, we all know that's not the biggest issue here.

00:09:41.340 The biggest issue is that the left is attacking reality itself on the most fundamental level.

00:09:48.800 That's the issue.

00:09:50.260 And women's sports is just one arena for that fight. 1.00

00:09:57.680 But it's an important arena.

00:09:59.620 And it's an arena that everybody is looking at now and focused on.

00:10:02.920 That's what makes it important.

00:10:06.040 The consequences of surrendering it, of losing in this arena, would have ramifications that go far beyond your daughter's track team.

00:10:16.060 The consequences ultimately are, again, that we give up on reality, that we live in a society that simply fundamentally does not recognize reality and truth anymore at all.

00:10:31.940 That seems like a big consequence to me.

00:10:35.260 That seems like a fight worth having.

00:10:38.920 I don't know what fight is worth having if that's not.

00:10:41.420 I don't know how we can have any fights if we don't all live in reality, if we're not defending reality and truth.

00:10:50.940 And that's why we choose this hill to die on.

00:10:53.780 Any Republicans who would turn tail and run from it are of no use to us. 1.00

00:11:00.240 Totally useless. 1.00

00:11:02.640 If you can't get it right on this issue, you're useless. 0.99

00:11:06.900 And that certainly goes for Kristi Noem, too. 0.83

00:11:08.720 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:11:17.580 We're excited about a new sponsor on the show today, X-Chair.

00:11:20.700 Now, look, you may be like me.

00:11:23.540 You spend a lot of your day sitting down, depending on what you do for a living.

00:11:27.220 I know for me, I spend a whole lot of time sitting down.

00:11:29.700 More time than I should certainly be spending sitting down.

00:11:32.380 And what that means is that just like your mattress matters because of how much time you spend laying down on your mattress and sleeping,

00:11:37.200 the kind of chair you have.

00:11:39.140 It really does matter.

00:11:40.040 It matters for your comfort.

00:11:41.000 It matters for your health.

00:11:41.660 It matters in so many ways.

00:11:42.920 And that's why I'm so excited to have X-Chair, which I am currently sitting in as we speak and enjoying every minute of it.

00:11:50.760 X-Chair has you covered for your office needs.

00:11:52.920 The secret is not only their patented dynamic variable lumber support, which offers unbelievable lumbar support to your lower back.

00:12:00.120 But now, thanks to their new X-HMT technology, you can also get heat and massage therapy while you're sitting at your desk.

00:12:08.140 We have the massage function on this chair. 0.86

00:12:10.160 I don't use it during the show because that seems inappropriate, but it is wonderful, I can tell you.

00:12:15.180 The X-HMT delivers heat and massage technology right to your core, helping increase blood flow, muscle recovery, and energy,

00:12:21.400 all perks that make working from home or office a joy.

00:12:24.640 It even has four different massage modes and fast warming heat technology for therapy when you're sore.

00:12:30.980 And on top of all that, it is an extremely comfortable chair.

00:12:34.180 You sit down in it and you say, I don't want to ever get up again.

00:12:38.200 I can't recommend it enough.

00:12:39.620 This is why I love my X-Chair.

00:12:41.080 You'll love it too.

00:13:09.480 Okay, so this is from The Daily Wire.

00:13:12.020 It says,

00:13:13.820 The hygiene company Harry's dropped advertising on The Daily Wire last week, apparently in response to an anonymous Twitter account with nearly no followers.

00:13:22.520 The Twitter account that had garnered five followers by Monday afternoon posted on March 7th a message to Harry's objecting to its advertising on The Daily Wire's The Michael Knowles Show, which you may have heard of that show before, for its allegedly homophobic and transphobic content.

00:13:41.260 Now this, again, just some rant.

00:13:44.380 I don't even think, it's one of those accounts that they didn't even have a, they don't even have an avatar.

00:13:47.760 There's no profile for it.

00:13:49.080 It's just like a, it's just a random anonymous account from one person with five followers.

00:13:55.100 This is, this is somebody with zero power and influence, like does not matter what they think.

00:14:02.800 Easiest kind of person to ignore.

00:14:05.720 And, um, but Harry's, which is a, you know, multimillion dollar company responds and they say, thanks for bringing this up.

00:14:13.360 We condemn the views in this video, referring to a video of, of Knowles talking about, um, uh, the transgender issue.

00:14:20.580 And, uh, it says we can, we condemn the views in this video, which are inexcusable and at odds with our longtime support of the LGBTQ plus community.

00:14:28.640 We've ended our relationship with this show and are looking into our sponsorships to prevent any values, uh, misalignment going forward.

00:14:35.700 So, you know, this, you see what it takes.

00:14:44.540 This is the kind of, this is the kind of power on the left.

00:14:46.860 This is the kind of institutional power that, um, that those on the left have for all the talk about how, you know, if you're, if you're a white male, you have allegedly all this privilege and all this power.

00:14:59.380 I, I still have not seen it.

00:15:01.240 I don't know where to cash in.

00:15:02.820 I've been asking for years.

00:15:04.080 I mean, I'm, I'm not above cashing in.

00:15:06.860 If I can cash in on my white male privilege and get all kinds of perks, I'll do it.

00:15:10.920 Just tell me where, but I haven't found it yet.

00:15:15.680 Now being on the left though, you see, see privilege is afforded according to ideology, not according to, to, uh, not, not, not according purely to race.

00:15:27.040 What matters first and foremost, number one is your ideology.

00:15:30.800 Because if you don't have the right ideology, there is zero privilege for you in the culture today.

00:15:38.120 So you got to start with that now.

00:15:39.440 And then once you have the right, the quote, right ideology, then from there you get even more privilege depending on, uh, what victim groups you belong to and so forth.

00:15:47.320 But, but, but think about this privilege.

00:15:50.260 You, you, you have so much privilege that from an anonymous account with five followers, you can demand that a multimillion dollar company change its marketing strategy and they'll do it. 0.97

00:16:00.900 They'll just right away say, well, okay, if you say so on the right, we can't even like, we can't even us, even us, um, dastardly white males. 0.62

00:16:13.160 We can't even conceive of that kind of cultural power because it would never happen ever.

00:16:19.320 It would never, it would never, if you have a Twitter account with a few followers and you sent a message to any company and say, Hey, I really don't like that advertisement.

00:16:30.600 It offended me.

00:16:32.060 It's going to ignore you.

00:16:33.100 And, and, and the thing here is that, that Harry's, it's not, it's not only that they dropped the advertising, which they're obviously free to do.

00:16:46.040 Um, it's not just that, but as the God King Jeremy boring pointed out on Twitter, it, it, it's that they, on their way out the door, they also condemned, you know, the show that they were just advertising with.

00:17:00.640 And by extension, condemn the whole audience, the people that they were, that they were just trying to sell their product to on the way out, they condemned all of them as a bunch of transphobes and bigots.

00:17:14.360 So this, this is, this is more than that.

00:17:16.240 This is more than a company making a decision about who, of course they have the right. 0.83

00:17:19.920 No one's saying they don't have the right to do that, but on the way out the door, like the kick in the butt in the way out the door, you were just working with this show. 0.62

00:17:30.000 Did you not know that it was a conservative show? 0.92

00:17:32.620 Really?

00:17:33.060 Did you, did you really not know that?

00:17:35.460 Of course you did, but on the way out, condemn the show, the audience, everyone.

00:17:41.060 That's the way it goes.

00:17:42.860 Now here to kind of make my point, we'll move on to number two here.

00:17:47.320 So that's, that's the, the, the woke company Harry's, um, which by the way, look, Harry's, they can make decisions about who they advertise with.

00:17:58.100 They're free to do that in a free market.

00:18:00.720 And you and I can make decisions on what companies we choose to support.

00:18:05.760 And those are, and, and, and we on the right need to start being a lot more, um, we have to start making more, more considered decisions as far as that goes.

00:18:16.580 And as far as I, you know, I'm not a big fan of boycotts in principle, but if a company is saying, we don't want your business, we hate you.

00:18:30.760 We think you're a bunch of bigots.

00:18:31.980 We don't want your business.

00:18:33.840 Then as a matter of basic self-respect, we don't have to call it a boycott, call it whatever you want.

00:18:39.360 As a matter of basic self-respect, I think we have to say, well, okay, then I'm not going to give you my money.

00:18:46.400 We should not be forcing our money into the hands of people who don't want it and are saying, I don't want your money. 0.97

00:18:54.500 You're, you're, you're horrible people. 0.77

00:18:55.940 Well, I don't care. 1.00

00:18:56.740 Take it anyway.

00:18:57.320 Please take my money from me.

00:19:00.920 That's what Harry's is saying.

00:19:02.020 If you're going by Harry's, remember, remember, and you're a conservative, remember they hate you and you're forcing your money on them.

00:19:09.860 They don't want it.

00:19:12.600 You got to think about whether you really want to do that.

00:19:16.640 Now I, now it's easy for me to say, I obviously am not that.

00:19:20.280 I kind of think razors are overrated as it goes already, but, uh, so maybe it's easy for me to say.

00:19:24.520 So, okay.

00:19:25.340 So that's Harry's.

00:19:25.880 That's one woke company.

00:19:27.660 And then number two here, we got another woke company, uh, Pantene, the makers of, um, pretty much all the toiletry, all the companies are going woke, but especially in the toiletry realm.

00:19:39.080 Uh, that's where it's Uber woke there. 0.99

00:19:40.740 It's a Pantene maker of, I believe shampoo has, um, become the latest corporation to jump on the trans indoctrination bandwagon. 1.00

00:19:50.300 And I'm going to play this ad for you, which is a really repulsive and grotesque ad on many, many levels.

00:19:55.800 And I guarantee you, if you're a conservative with, with an anonymous account and five followers, you can express your outrage over this ad to Pantene and they're not going to give a damn.

00:20:06.920 Okay.

00:20:07.300 They're not, they're not going to do anything in response to that because they don't care about you.

00:20:10.920 But here's the, uh, let's play this.

00:20:13.080 This is the ad for Pantene.

00:20:13.980 This is, um, uh, a, we're being told about a young boy who decided to be, to become a girl and is in the middle of this gender transition and is being helped along in that transition by his two mothers.

00:20:29.820 So two mothers, um, his two lesbian mothers end up with a boy who wants to be a girl. 0.62

00:20:35.480 What a coincidence.

00:20:36.900 I mean, that's it.

00:20:37.700 It's gotta be, you know, is how, how can we possibly draw?

00:20:40.900 We don't draw any connection there at all.

00:20:41.900 We, we, we simply can't.

00:20:43.220 Let's watch the ad now.

00:20:44.140 Here it is.

00:20:49.920 So as for LGBTQ kids, hair is more than you think. 1.00

00:20:54.120 It's how you are seen.

00:20:56.560 Sawyer is an old soul.

00:20:58.820 She is our, uh, spunky and creative kiddo.

00:21:05.180 Sawyer also happens to be a transgender girl.

00:21:07.680 I remember the first time she was out in the community wearing the clothing she wanted in her hair and she kind of was herself.

00:21:17.060 And that was the first day where I saw her.

00:21:19.220 He's the opposite of himself.

00:21:20.880 She has always been super gender creative.

00:21:24.280 That doesn't mean anything?

00:21:25.000 That doesn't mean anything.

00:21:26.220 Gender creative is not a, that doesn't mean anything.

00:21:28.040 Once she told us that she identified as a girl, she immediately wanted to grow her hair out.

00:21:34.580 That must mean he's a girl if he wanted to grow his hair out. 0.94

00:21:37.120 What other explanation could you possibly have?

00:21:38.400 My insides match my outsides.

00:21:41.840 This is a kid who knew who she was from such a young age.

00:21:46.200 No, he didn't.

00:21:47.480 Because no kid does.

00:21:48.640 Because they're a kid.

00:21:49.120 Oh, no, no, no.

00:21:58.640 You're telling him exactly that, to hide who he is.

00:22:01.080 That's exactly what you're helping him do. 1.00

00:22:02.560 You lunatic. 1.00

00:22:05.380 You abusive lunatic. 1.00

00:22:06.960 Everybody loves everybody, no matter what path you follow. 0.99

00:22:11.540 It means I can be who I am, no matter what.

00:22:16.800 It doesn't matter, because everybody loves me.

00:22:20.660 My advice is just be yourself.

00:22:24.540 And don't let anybody tell you who you are.

00:22:28.560 Yeah.

00:22:30.140 That poor kid.

00:22:32.680 That poor kid.

00:22:34.160 I feel so bad for these kids.

00:22:35.540 What hope do they have?

00:22:37.620 Having parents like this. 1.00

00:22:39.720 Having these lunatic abusive parents. 0.99

00:22:41.180 I mean, that kid should be removed from the home. 1.00

00:22:43.440 And those parents should be in prison.

00:22:46.420 This is among the worst forms of abuse that you could possibly inflict on a child.

00:22:53.240 This is psychological and sexual abuse on such a deep level.

00:23:00.040 That you are warping everything about them.

00:23:04.720 Their sense of themselves.

00:23:06.520 You are warping.

00:23:13.080 Some of the worst abuse you'll ever see.

00:23:14.820 And it's being...

00:23:16.900 And we're being told about it.

00:23:18.160 The abusive parents are sitting there.

00:23:20.180 The nice inspirational music in the background.

00:23:21.980 And they're using it to sell shampoo.

00:23:26.240 That's how accepted and normalized they want this to be.

00:23:28.860 Let me tell you something.

00:23:29.720 If you still go out and buy Pantene products.

00:23:32.800 Whoever...

00:23:33.200 Anyone listening. 1.00

00:23:33.860 If you go out and buy Pantene products, you're pathetic. 0.99

00:23:36.660 If you would still go and buy their products after watching that. 1.00

00:23:38.880 This is a company that is using child abuse to sell their product.

00:23:45.100 Anyone who would watch that and still buy the product is a pitiful excuse for a person.

00:23:53.680 If that's not going to convince you, there should not be one...

00:23:57.880 If you are a...

00:23:58.660 Call yourself conservative.

00:23:59.700 I don't care what you call yourself.

00:24:00.860 If you are a sane, normal person.

00:24:03.240 You should never go near another Pantene product for the rest of your life.

00:24:07.320 Based on that.

00:24:08.200 It is no different.

00:24:11.840 If this was an ad encouraging physical abuse of a child.

00:24:16.700 And we were being told how that child is, you know, locked in a closet.

00:24:21.500 And beaten with sticks and stuff like that.

00:24:24.180 And they were telling us that with the inspirational music.

00:24:28.060 And saying how wonderful it is for the child.

00:24:31.480 Would anyone buy that product ever again?

00:24:34.500 We would be so horrified.

00:24:36.040 We would say this is the worst company on earth.

00:24:40.760 This is no different.

00:24:42.780 This is just as bad if not worse.

00:24:47.900 That is a child who is being ruined by those parents.

00:24:51.340 Ruined.

00:24:54.440 Listen to what he said.

00:24:55.360 He said, you know, when he wears girl clothes, his insides match his outsides. 0.99

00:25:01.480 Now, that is a perfectly expected and even reasonable thing to hear from a child who's been indoctrinated into this by his parents.

00:25:18.460 But as adults, we know that that doesn't make any sense.

00:25:26.840 What do you mean you have girl insides? 0.99

00:25:29.300 That doesn't mean anything.

00:25:32.260 It makes zero sense.

00:25:35.520 As adults, we know that.

00:25:37.320 You can't expect a child to know it unless you tell them.

00:25:42.420 Because children don't know anything.

00:25:44.860 Unless you tell them.

00:25:48.040 A young boy, as I've said a million times, a young boy does not know who he is.

00:25:54.360 You have to help him figure that out.

00:25:56.400 And when he says, I'm a girl, he doesn't know what that statement means.

00:26:02.620 He doesn't understand what he's saying.

00:26:06.900 And if you don't believe me, whenever you hear a boy say that, all you have to ask him, all you have to ask him is, what do you mean?

00:26:16.440 Hey, Sawyer, when you say you're a girl, what do you mean by that?

00:26:19.940 What do you mean?

00:26:22.300 I ask my kids that kind of question all the time when they say things.

00:26:26.400 Because they often make statements that don't make any sense because they're kids.

00:26:30.180 Don't make any sense to me anyway.

00:26:32.640 So I often have to say, well, what do you mean?

00:26:36.840 And then as they started to describe it, I was like, okay, so this is what you mean.

00:26:40.860 See, because they're going to use words that don't line up with what they actually are trying to express.

00:26:47.400 Because they don't have the words yet because their vocabulary is limited.

00:26:50.540 And they also don't understand their own emotions yet.

00:26:54.580 Because they're psychologically limited.

00:26:56.220 And neurologically limited.

00:26:57.400 And their brains aren't fully developed yet.

00:27:00.140 And so as a parent, my job so often is to figure out what they actually think and believe and want and feel.

00:27:08.320 And to help them to realize that about themselves.

00:27:11.040 And to help them to express it.

00:27:12.400 I mean, you sit a kid down at a restaurant to pick a meal.

00:27:21.840 They don't even know what they want to eat.

00:27:25.400 They'll point to something on the menu and you'll have to say as the parent, no, no, you don't really want that.

00:27:29.760 I know you don't want it because I've gotten you that meal six other times and you didn't eat it.

00:27:34.340 I know you think you want it, but you don't actually want it.

00:27:36.500 I'm going to order you the meal that you're actually going to eat.

00:27:38.280 We as parents do that all the time because kids don't know what they want.

00:27:45.380 This is not some academic discussion.

00:27:49.580 This is basic child raising stuff.

00:27:54.820 This is basic stuff about child psychology.

00:27:57.160 And to deny it to that extent is is horrific abuse.

00:28:03.660 Please don't ever buy Pantene ever again.

00:28:07.480 All right.

00:28:08.880 So we went on that for a little bit.

00:28:10.300 Let's let's move on to this.

00:28:12.980 OK, I want to play.

00:28:13.680 Here's another video I wanted to play.

00:28:16.080 A teacher did a remote.

00:28:18.620 Field trip with his class.

00:28:20.180 He went to the zoo.

00:28:21.560 I'm not sure where this was, where this took place, but he he there.

00:28:26.120 They're still wherever he is.

00:28:27.460 They're still doing Zoom classes.

00:28:29.700 And so this video went viral.

00:28:31.740 People talking about what a wonderful guy this guy is and what a wonderful teacher is.

00:28:35.040 And he is a great teacher.

00:28:35.940 That's no criticism of him.

00:28:37.560 So he took his he had his laptop and he's on his Zoom class and he went to the zoo to kind of take the kids on a remote field trip.

00:28:46.720 And let's watch that here.

00:28:47.920 Here it is.

00:28:48.820 Why not still go to the zoo and you guys can come with.

00:28:51.300 So let's keep going.

00:28:52.560 You got it.

00:28:56.900 What is this?

00:28:57.980 Let's be great readers.

00:29:00.940 OK, so he's taking he's taking the kids around with the laptop and just showing them all the different.

00:29:04.920 What do we have now?

00:29:05.840 Class all the animals.

00:29:08.580 A rhino.

00:29:11.200 A rhino.

00:29:12.200 That's right.

00:29:14.840 And then the rhino runs away.

00:29:16.520 OK, this is in Washington State.

00:29:20.460 You know, I saw.

00:29:21.380 Here's my point with this.

00:29:23.240 I watch this video and I think, well, that that's a great teacher.

00:29:28.300 As critical as I can be of teachers, I don't deny that there's that there are some great ones out there.

00:29:33.120 So it's good he's doing that for the kids.

00:29:34.960 But I can't, you know, I watch that and I can't watch it and see it as some sort of inspiring video.

00:29:42.600 It's not cute to me, really.

00:29:45.040 It's deeply sad is what it is.

00:29:49.660 There's no reason.

00:29:51.700 This teacher's doing everything he can, but there's no reason why these kids can't go to the zoo themselves.

00:29:57.480 And there's no reason why they can't be in the classroom.

00:30:01.060 The zoo is open.

00:30:03.060 That's how he's there.

00:30:04.060 The zoo is open.

00:30:04.920 There are people walking around.

00:30:07.580 Wherever this is happening, you can have the zoo can be open.

00:30:10.920 People can go to the zoo, but they can't sit in a classroom.

00:30:14.420 What's more important, having the zoo open or classroom?

00:30:21.240 That's the first thing I think when I see that.

00:30:23.140 I mean, these poor kids have been locked in their homes and now they're reduced to.

00:30:30.060 Going on a zoo field trip through Zoom.

00:30:34.060 And you hear the, I don't know how it came through in the audio, but you could hear the comments from these kids saying, oh, this is the greatest field trip ever and everything.

00:30:42.200 Which, again, is great that they were given that, but it's also said that they're so desperate for interaction to be out in public that they're excited to look at animals on Zoom.

00:30:57.560 I find that to be pretty sad.

00:31:00.380 All right.

00:31:00.880 So, one other thing to mention here.

00:31:06.020 This is from ESPN.

00:31:09.260 Again, it says,

00:31:39.260 The traveling massage therapist alleges that when she arrived at the address Watson gave her, he led her to a room, locked the doors behind him.

00:31:47.740 After Watson allegedly forced plaintiff's hands onto his genitals during the massage, he allegedly told her, I will not have you sign an NDA, but don't ever talk about this.

00:31:58.640 Now, this is, as it says there, this is the 14th lawsuit filed against Deshaun Watson, superstar quarterback.

00:32:09.920 14th.

00:32:10.720 These are 14 accusers.

00:32:11.940 And these are people accusing him, not merely of harassment.

00:32:15.600 These are assault accusations.

00:32:16.940 And now the lawyer wants there to be a grand jury and is hoping for criminal charges as well.

00:32:24.000 But 14 accusers.

00:32:26.220 And some of these accusers have brought receipts.

00:32:29.760 Now, there's one that's released text messages allegedly from Deshaun Watson.

00:32:33.540 And one of the text messages said something like, it was after the fact, and it said, you know, sorry if you were uncomfortable last time.

00:32:41.700 Now, that doesn't prove that he committed sexual assault.

00:32:45.840 But if the text messages are from him, which would be easy to confirm if it's true.

00:32:50.500 But assuming the text messages are from him, it does show that he was around this woman, something happened, and she was, quote, uncomfortable.

00:32:59.820 That's not proof.

00:33:02.080 But it is, it's more evidence than you normally have in these situations.

00:33:06.340 And then you add on top of that 14, 13 other accusers.

00:33:10.780 That's significant.

00:33:12.840 And, you know, I'm the last one to immediately believe any accusation that's thrown around.

00:33:17.880 Of course, you have to go through innocent until proven guilty and all that.

00:33:20.540 But at least that's how it goes in the court of law, and it should go.

00:33:26.080 But as far as us, as people making reasonable guesses as to what might have happened,

00:33:33.640 hard for me to believe that 14 women telling very similar sounding stories, 0.71

00:33:40.280 some of whom have text messages that they can show, hard for me to believe that they're all lying.

00:33:44.240 And yet the interesting thing is that you don't, you're not hearing a lot about this story.

00:33:50.740 This is a, if you don't follow the NFL, I'd have to emphasize a superstar quarterback with 14 allegations of sexual assault.

00:33:59.960 And it's, yeah, it's getting, of course, it's going to get some attention.

00:34:06.080 It's getting some attention, but it's not, if you go to ESPN.com right now, for example, it's not the number one story.

00:34:13.860 That's not being treated as headline news in mass media or even in sports media.

00:34:18.380 It's being treated as sort of an interesting side issue.

00:34:23.740 And you have to really wonder, you have to wonder, if this was a white quarterback,

00:34:28.680 if this was, say, Tom Brady with all these accusations,

00:34:32.940 would ESPN be treating it with the same, you know, lack of interest?

00:34:39.080 And I would say probably not.

00:34:41.380 Okay, let's move now to reading the comments.

00:34:43.580 This is from Mary Irwin says,

00:34:45.000 I missed the videos from Matt's car.

00:34:46.800 One of the best parts was how annoyed people got that he wasn't in studio or something.

00:34:50.780 Also, I just imagine people passing through the Kroger parking lot,

00:34:54.180 seeing him spouting angry truth to his dashboard.

00:34:57.280 Ha ha.

00:34:58.980 Yeah, that's, that is actually exactly what would happen with those car videos. 0.94

00:35:04.220 I was some crazy lunatic in a car shouting, just shouting at the dashboard.

00:35:10.040 And yeah, people would, people would often pass by and stare in like, 0.91

00:35:12.920 what is this guy doing?

00:35:15.000 The other thing about doing the car videos, you know, is that it would have,

00:35:17.700 I don't know if this came across, it probably did,

00:35:20.280 if I was dripping with sweat when I did those videos.

00:35:22.620 Because it got really hot in the summer.

00:35:24.420 That was one, that was one logistical problem.

00:35:26.840 I couldn't really have the windows on, rolled down.

00:35:29.940 Because of the noise.

00:35:31.240 So I would roll the windows up and it would be like 600 degrees in there.

00:35:35.680 And I was risking my life.

00:35:37.340 Hope you know that.

00:35:37.980 Um, cerebral method says, it's a good point about Biden.

00:35:43.960 The men who crave power are best fitted to acquire it and least fitted to exercise it, 0.94

00:35:48.140 which is why having an unbiased media is so important.

00:35:51.560 Yeah, you always, and that is, that's the irony.

00:35:54.280 That's the problem.

00:35:55.260 That's, um, you're not going to become president.

00:35:58.700 These days are really any day, unless you desperately want to be president.

00:36:04.100 And Biden has desperately wanted to be president for decades.

00:36:08.000 So you're probably not going to become president unless you desperately want it.

00:36:10.600 But if you desperately want it, then you're kind of like the last person who should be president.

00:36:15.660 And we're seeing that now with Biden.

00:36:17.760 Um, Steve Boyher says, they added what bike lanes in my town.

00:36:22.040 They actually added them to the right sides of an already existing four lane road through town,

00:36:26.400 causing the road to become narrower.

00:36:28.380 Now the cars are riding in narrower lanes and the ruts created prior to the bike lane

00:36:32.320 cause our cars to attempt to stay in the lane while fighting the ruts.

00:36:35.980 Yeah, we make everything, everyone is less safe,

00:36:39.340 but at least we've accommodated the cyclists and their recreational activity.

00:36:42.940 So, you know, if you get into a car accident, if you get into a head-on collision,

00:36:46.380 because you're, you're, you're, the lanes are too close together now,

00:36:49.500 at least take solace in the fact that this happened so that a cyclist could have some,

00:36:54.260 some recreation, get a little cardio in.

00:36:56.400 Um, and Emily says, I was grocery shopping with my mask below my nose and some lady comes up to me 0.98

00:37:03.000 and says that the masks don't work if I don't wear it properly.

00:37:05.900 I ignored her and then she followed me to the checkout and harassed me again. 1.00

00:37:10.080 I then responded to her, where's your second mask?

00:37:12.560 Clearly she was not an authority on the efficacy of masks as she was only wearing one. 1.00

00:37:15.720 Such a hypocrite. 1.00

00:37:16.320 Great response. 1.00

00:37:17.800 Yeah, this is my, my policies.

00:37:19.220 Number one, you know, if I go into a place,

00:37:23.100 if I go into a private establishment of some kind, business, home, whatever it is,

00:37:27.900 and it, and I don't own it.

00:37:30.820 And someone who, who does own it or works there, if they tell me, Hey, we need you to wear the mask.

00:37:36.060 I'll put it on because it's their place, their rules.

00:37:39.860 And, um, and that's it.

00:37:43.120 I'll respect their place and their rules.

00:37:44.740 And also the random employee at Walmart, who's telling you, put the mask on.

00:37:50.880 It's, it's not his rule.

00:37:52.500 He didn't make it up.

00:37:53.400 He doesn't want to enforce it.

00:37:54.720 He has to.

00:37:56.520 And if he fails to enforce it, he'll probably get fired.

00:37:58.660 I don't want to get that, that kid fired.

00:38:01.380 So I'll do that.

00:38:02.460 Like, I'm not going to volunteer to wear the mask, but if someone in a position of authority,

00:38:06.720 and if you work at, even if you work at Walmart, then you, you do have a position of authority,

00:38:11.880 at least in the case of you work for the employer.

00:38:14.200 Um, if someone like that asks me to, then I will, I'm not going to volunteer.

00:38:20.520 But if someone who has no authority, just some other person, a fellow customer or someone

00:38:25.240 demands that I put it on.

00:38:27.340 No, sorry.

00:38:29.760 Cause I don't, I don't have to listen to you.

00:38:31.940 You have no authority of more as much authority here as I do, which is none.

00:38:37.600 And then, and also I've never quite understood this.

00:38:40.700 Why do people care this, this whole time you've had, you've got these complaints about

00:38:45.500 people who wear the mask wrong or have the mask pulled below the nose.

00:38:49.200 What do you care if someone has the mask pulled below the nose?

00:38:52.600 What does it matter to you?

00:38:54.880 If you think it puts them in more danger, that's, that's none of your concern.

00:38:59.420 Do you really think if someone has the mask below the nose, which is how I wear mine,

00:39:03.740 by the way, uh, and not because I don't know how to wear it.

00:39:06.280 I wear it that way because I want to breathe.

00:39:08.440 That's why I wear it that way.

00:39:10.560 So when you see people at this point with the mask below the nose, no, these aren't 0.98

00:39:14.140 morons who don't know how masks work. 0.91

00:39:15.840 They're wearing it that way on purpose because it's more comfortable and it's none of your 1.00

00:39:19.780 business.

00:39:21.180 What do you think is going to happen?

00:39:22.020 Do you think someone has the mask below the nose, they walk past you in the grocery

00:39:25.820 aisle.

00:39:26.480 Do you think just from the air blowing out of their nostrils as they pass by you for a

00:39:31.360 second, you think that's going to infect you when you're wearing a mask?

00:39:36.620 Let me tell you something.

00:39:37.320 If it does, then if that does happen, then the mask really was useless.

00:39:41.200 And so what does it matter if they're wearing it or not?

00:39:43.360 You know, I, I love and appreciate all of our sponsors on this show.

00:39:47.060 Um, I love and appreciate them deeply and intimately.

00:39:50.520 Well, maybe not intimately, but I do, I do appreciate all of them.

00:39:53.380 Although the more I love them, the, the better it is and the easier it is for me to talk about.

00:39:58.420 And so it is really, really easy for me to tell you about constitutioncoach.com and to,

00:40:03.340 uh, and to encourage you to take advantage of this.

00:40:05.600 Uh, my friends over at constitutioncoach.com have a lot of great programs for equipping

00:40:09.580 citizens to defend liberty by studying and living out the constitution.

00:40:12.640 I actually just experienced their constitutional defense course.

00:40:15.660 This is what I was doing over the weekend.

00:40:16.860 I mentioned it yesterday on the show briefly.

00:40:18.560 Uh, but I was in Nevada at, uh, what's called front site and I was taking their training

00:40:23.300 course and I, I absolutely cannot recommend it enough.

00:40:27.300 I was kind of nervous going in, I'll admit, but, um, uh, those nerves quickly were, were,

00:40:32.660 uh, were settled and I, I couldn't have been happier to be there.

00:40:35.980 And I'm happy that I went through that experience.

00:40:37.420 You get an amazing combination of intellectual ammunition and live classes with Rick Green,

00:40:41.840 America's constitution coach.

00:40:46.920 nation, all in the same course.

00:40:58.060 you, these people took me to an entirely new skill level and they're going to do the

00:41:01.940 same for you.

00:41:12.360 That's why I wanted to do this.

00:42:18.740 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:42:24.620 So yesterday, the word obesity was trending on Twitter.

00:42:28.460 For now, from what I can tell, the reason for this trend was at least a part, the announcement

00:42:32.060 from Krispy Kreme that they're going to give you free donuts.

00:42:35.660 Well, free donuts, actually, multiple free donuts, if you can produce proof that you were

00:42:40.640 vaccinated for COVID.

00:42:42.320 And not just one donut.

00:42:43.260 They'll give you a free donut every day for the rest of the year.

00:42:46.900 Now, will anyone actually take them up on this?

00:42:49.240 I mean, will anyone bring their medical paperwork into a Krispy Kreme shop every day for a year

00:42:54.960 to get a free donut?

00:42:56.620 Will anyone get the vaccine just for the free donuts?

00:43:00.040 I don't know, but if I know anything about Americans, the answer is certainly yes. 0.97

00:43:06.320 Now, keep one thing in mind, though.

00:43:08.640 Krispy Kreme is known for reneging on these kinds of promises.

00:43:12.380 There was a time many moons ago when you could go into a Krispy Kreme store any time the hot

00:43:18.100 now light was on and you could get a free donut if the sign said hot now.

00:43:21.440 And there was a time many moons ago when I would often take advantage of that perk.

00:43:27.020 But then, and I like to think this is thanks exclusively to my own gluttonous and greed,

00:43:32.160 they stopped offering the free donuts.

00:43:34.180 At least the Krispy Kremes around where I live, that was the case.

00:43:39.460 So now, hot now only means that the donuts are hot and fresh, which of course means that

00:43:44.420 when the light isn't on, they aren't hot and fresh.

00:43:46.660 And that's a problem because Krispy Kreme donuts are exceptional in that they are the only food

00:43:52.620 item which goes from being heavenly as soon as it emerges from the oven to inedible four minutes

00:43:58.000 later.

00:43:59.220 The donuts are great when they're piping hot, but downright reprehensible at room temperature.

00:44:04.160 The second law of thermodynamics has not been kind to Krispy Kreme.

00:44:07.300 Anyway, I seem to have lost the plot somewhere.

00:44:10.880 The point is that Krispy Kreme is trying to help fight COVID by giving out donuts, and this

00:44:14.700 is potentially doing more harm than good, seeing as obesity is one of the major COVID risk factors.

00:44:19.620 One of the reasons that COVID hit us so hard is that we have so many obese people in this

00:44:23.880 country.

00:44:24.340 It doesn't seem like a great idea in light of that fact to encourage even more obesity.

00:44:28.460 And it is that word, obesity, which prompted this tweet from actress Jamila Jamil, known for

00:44:34.500 her role in that one show and also that other show.

00:44:37.820 And oh yeah, did you ever see that thing about the person doing the thing?

00:44:41.680 She's in that too, I think.

00:44:42.920 Well, she, whoever she is, she tweeted this.

00:44:46.000 She said, quote, 0.97

00:44:47.120 Obesity trending opens the floodgates to a tsunami of ignorant and illogical abuse against

00:44:52.020 the fat community, lacking context, nuance, and humanity.

00:44:55.940 Below is something I want you to understand.

00:44:58.080 And then there's a picture with even more text, presumably written by her, saying, quote,

00:45:02.580 Obesity is trending.

00:45:03.960 On the subject of obesity and the amount of people who die allegedly from it, allegedly from

00:45:08.840 it, I think it's important to keep reminding people that a lot of fat people die or become

00:45:12.760 seriously ill because their symptoms of serious illness are ignored by doctors who blame everything

00:45:17.200 on their weight and therefore don't investigate their health properly.

00:45:20.120 Cancer, cysts, respiratory, brain tumors, life-threatening gynecological issues, et cetera, often missed

00:45:26.340 by practitioners who are unable to see past their own fat phobia.

00:45:29.500 So until people who are larger than average are treated equally by doctors and not dismissed

00:45:34.260 and dehumanized so pervasively and frequently, we can't have an informed or fair conversation

00:45:38.240 about any death rates or health issues related to obesity.

00:45:42.360 Okay.

00:45:43.680 Now, where to start?

00:45:45.180 Maybe with this.

00:45:46.760 She refers to the number of people who die allegedly from obesity.

00:45:50.000 For the record, as far as that number goes, 78% of people hospitalized with COVID in the

00:45:54.140 U.S. were overweight or obese.

00:45:56.320 Worldwide, according to the World Health Organization, 2.8 million people die from obesity-related

00:46:02.080 causes each year.

00:46:03.480 And that's pre-COVID.

00:46:04.600 Those are the pre-COVID numbers, 2.8 million worldwide.

00:46:07.780 It's only gotten worse, not better.

00:46:10.420 Jamil mentions that obese people die from cancer, cysts, respiratory issues, which are allegedly

00:46:16.680 missed by the fat phobic doctors.

00:46:18.480 Well, it turns out that obesity increases your risk of developing all of those things.

00:46:22.660 The doctors are not ignoring those health hazards by telling you to get your weight under control.

00:46:28.600 They're telling you to get your weight under control because of those hazards and countless

00:46:32.980 others.

00:46:34.360 We see here the extent to which the words like equality and bigotry have lost their coherence.

00:46:41.160 The words quite literally don't mean anything anymore.

00:46:43.460 You may as well not say them because nobody will know what you mean when you do.

00:46:46.600 No, doctors should not treat obese people equal to other people because they're not equal.

00:46:53.100 If you're obese, you are less healthy, more at risk, more likely to die.

00:46:58.360 And doctors absolutely ought to be taking that into account.

00:47:02.440 Asking for a doctor to treat fat people equally is like complaining when your allergist gives

00:47:07.240 you an inhaler because people without asthma don't need inhalers.

00:47:11.700 So you're being treated unequally.

00:47:13.520 Well, you gave me an inhaler.

00:47:14.760 What about him?

00:47:15.400 Why don't you give him one?

00:47:17.320 Well, because he doesn't have asthma, you dope.

00:47:21.180 You are, as a person with asthma, you are unequal to non-asthma people. 1.00

00:47:26.940 Unequal as in not the same as.

00:47:30.100 You are different.

00:47:31.740 You have this risk factor and they don't.

00:47:34.640 Is your doctor being asthmophobic by giving you that inhaler?

00:47:38.000 I suppose so.

00:47:39.140 Yeah, he is.

00:47:40.100 He is rightly afraid of what asthma might do to you.

00:47:43.200 And so he's trying to treat it.

00:47:44.860 In the same way, it is right to be afraid of what obesity might do to a person.

00:47:49.760 Fatphobic?

00:47:50.520 Sure.

00:47:51.520 I'm fatphobic.

00:47:52.640 I announce it proudly.

00:47:53.720 I am fatphobic.

00:47:54.880 I don't want to be fat myself.

00:47:57.500 I don't want my loved ones to be fat.

00:47:59.280 I don't want anyone to be fat.

00:48:00.860 I am phobic of that.

00:48:02.200 I am phobic of people being fat.

00:48:04.580 The reason I don't want that for myself or for anyone else is that I don't want to die.

00:48:08.240 I don't want anyone else to die.

00:48:11.660 Being fat not only can kill you, but it will.

00:48:16.340 It will.

00:48:17.000 There's a reason why you rarely see morbidly obese 80-year-olds.

00:48:20.780 The reason is that obesity will shorten your lifespan.

00:48:24.200 You are straining your body and your internal organs by carrying around all that extra baggage.

00:48:28.940 Eventually, your body and your organs will be taxed to their limits.

00:48:32.220 This is the reality.

00:48:33.120 It's not pleasant, but that doesn't make it not real.

00:48:35.580 For all these extraordinarily obvious reasons, the idea of fat acceptance, the idea that there

00:48:40.920 even is such a thing as the fat community, which we must afford rights and equality to.

00:48:47.200 Think about that. 0.58

00:48:47.840 Fat community. 0.99

00:48:49.200 It's utter and complete madness.

00:48:51.540 Yet, it's predictable madness in a culture where self-love is not only the highest love,

00:48:55.920 but indeed the only love we recognize.

00:48:57.780 We are encouraged to focus our sights inward, to value our emotional well-being above all else,

00:49:03.580 to put ourselves before everything and everyone, to recognize no moral law, but our own whims.

00:49:10.840 We've seen the catastrophic consequences of living in a civilization that operates that way,

00:49:15.000 and we've seen in many forms the great irony, which is that the more we focus on ourselves,

00:49:21.580 the more we demand acceptance of ourselves and of our vices.

00:49:24.800 The more we love ourselves in this way, the more damage we do to ourselves.

00:49:30.900 We are loving ourselves to death, you might say.

00:49:35.040 Even death by Krispy Kreme and other assorted junk foods.

00:49:39.820 And for that reason, Jamila Jamil, whoever she is, and all the other apostles from the Church of Fat Acceptance, 0.98

00:49:46.780 all must be forthwith canceled.

00:49:49.780 And we'll leave it there for today.

00:49:52.480 Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.

00:49:53.840 Have a great day. Godspeed.

00:50:19.780 Today on the Ben Shapiro Show, another mass shooting rocks Colorado.

00:50:45.940 Joe Biden continues to lock kids in cages while keeping the border open.

00:50:49.560 And Democrats aren't done yet.

00:50:50.980 They're calling for an end to the filibuster.

00:50:52.620 That's today on the Ben Shapiro Show.

00:50:54.020 Give it a listen.
