The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 723 - Clinging Desperately To The Mask

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, many people are desperately trying to come up with a rationale to continue wearing a mask now that the CDC has changed its guidance on the issue.

00:00:07.540 We'll talk about that.

00:00:08.120 Also, five headlines, including the NYC Pride Parade bans cops from participating.

00:00:12.440 A teacher is caught on camera berating a student.

00:00:14.740 And 60 Minutes is the latest mainstream media outlet to report on the impending UFO invasion.

00:00:20.100 This is real, folks.

00:00:21.200 We'll talk about that, plus our daily cancellation and much more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:30.000 The Matt Walsh Show

00:01:00.000 I'm not even wearing slippers like out in public, but I was wearing my slippers because I wear them in the house all day and I had to run out to the store.

00:01:05.240 I forgot I had them on.

00:01:06.740 And so I was I was the guy walking to the store with the slippers on.

00:01:09.560 That did happen.

00:01:10.500 But it's fine because they're they're made for usage in any context.

00:01:15.300 For a limited time, my pillow is offering 40 percent off their new my slippers.

00:01:52.120 So it's been a hard few days for folks on the anti-science left.

00:01:56.940 As we covered late last week, the CDC announced that vaccinated people can take off their masks.

00:02:01.000 This news was irrelevant to people like myself who took the mask off long ago or never wore it to begin with, except when forced to.

00:02:07.780 Those in our camp were not waiting for permission from the CDC, nor have we ever claimed that the CDC is the ultimate unquestionable authority on all things science.

00:02:17.140 For us, the CDC announcing that we could walk outside and breathe the air without a mask is like the Food and Drug Administration announcing that we're allowed to eat a sandwich for lunch.

00:02:27.020 Like, thanks, but I wasn't really asking for your opinion and I don't care.

00:02:30.840 As for science, it is a process.

00:02:34.460 Science is not an agency.

00:02:35.700 It's not a department.

00:02:37.620 It's not a person.

00:02:38.520 It's not a statement.

00:02:40.000 It's a process through which the natural world is investigated and its workings are better understood.

00:02:47.240 That's all that science is and all that we should see it as.

00:02:50.700 This is why the phrase trust the science is itself unscientific.

00:02:55.160 Because most of the time when someone says that, when they say trust the science, what they mean is that you should trust the assertion that they are making in the name of science.

00:03:03.860 But trusting the science means precisely that you don't trust the assertion and instead you look at the process by which they arrived at their conclusion.

00:03:12.020 That's what science is all about.

00:03:14.100 Yet, that's one big hint right there.

00:03:17.180 Anytime someone's like, oh, trust me, trust me on this.

00:03:19.300 That's a good indication that this is not about science.

00:03:25.360 Yet, for many on the left, science is a religion.

00:03:28.320 And by that, I don't mean that they religiously and rigorously follow the scientific process to come to their conclusions.

00:03:34.180 Obviously not.

00:03:34.940 These are the people, after all, who think that men can have babies.

00:03:38.380 So, clearly, this is not about science.

00:03:40.120 No, for them, science is just the label that they have put on their preconceived religious doctrines.

00:03:46.660 And because it's a religion, then the supposed scientific authorities, government agencies, public health experts, and so on, become like high priests and prophets.

00:03:57.380 They should be trusted and heeded, not because they follow the process of science, but because we're called to have faith in them as the ordained ministers of the religion of science.

00:04:07.020 That's the way the left has approached science, especially over the last year.

00:04:11.680 But now, there's been a breakdown, a schism, if you will.

00:04:16.260 The priests are waving their holy scepters and granting millions of people permission to remove their masks, but many of their disciples don't want to remove them.

00:04:25.720 For so long, they said, trust the science, as in trust agencies like the CDC implicitly.

00:04:30.080 And now, that's exactly what they refuse to do.

00:04:33.160 So, for example, AOC posted on Instagram over the weekend, declaring her intention to continue wearing her mask.

00:04:39.320 She said, quote,

00:04:40.760 By the way, if you want to keep wearing your mask, then do it.

00:04:43.720 Personally, I'm going to keep wearing my mask in shared indoor places like elevators, subway, grocery store, etc.

00:04:50.760 NYC got hit so hard that I think some of us are going to take some time adjusting as we feel comfortable.

00:04:55.940 Also, it's a nice accessory when you don't want to do all your makeup.

00:04:58.560 Well, that part I can relate to, obviously.

00:05:02.900 But some Democrat-controlled states are putting the force of law behind this, or keeping the force of law behind it, rather.

00:05:08.460 As NJ.com reports, Governor Phil Murphy said Friday that New Jersey will keep its requirement that all people must wear masks indoors in public to protect against the coronavirus, at least for now,

00:05:18.860 despite federal health officials releasing updated guidance that says masks are no longer needed for fully vaccinated Americans in most circumstances.

00:05:26.020 We're not there yet, Murphy said, a day after the federal Centers for Disease Control released its new recommendations,

00:05:33.360 though he stressed the state could drop its mandate within a matter of weeks if vaccinations continue to increase and the state's outbreak keeps receding.

00:05:41.940 Massachusetts and Hawaii have also announced that they're going to keep their mask mandates in place for all people vaccinated or not.

00:05:47.420 I think there are like 20 other states that still have the mandates in place as of right now.

00:05:52.720 Meanwhile, many prominent people have come out and advocated for continued mask use.

00:05:57.740 Mia Farrow, if she counts as prominent, I don't know, tweeted, quote,

00:06:00.880 hundreds of people are still dying from COVID every day.

00:06:03.660 Multiple new variants are out there.

00:06:05.460 Although vaccinated, I'm still going to wear my mask in places where others may be unvaccinated.

00:06:09.720 An epidemiologist with a large social media following, Dr. Eric Feigel-Ding, echoed this sentiment.

00:06:15.960 He tweeted, keep wearing the mask, in all caps.

00:06:20.180 We card-carrying epidemiologists with formal doctorate in epidemiology know what we're talking about.

00:06:26.220 Vast majority of 700-plus epidemiologists surveyed says we should keep wearing the masks for one year or longer.

00:06:33.460 Yes, just one more year.

00:06:36.440 Or longer.

00:06:37.260 And as we've seen, plenty of people would be more than happy to indulge.

00:06:43.600 The Guardian interviewed a number of women who plan to continue masking indefinitely.

00:06:48.200 And many of them have reasons that have nothing to do with physical health at all.

00:06:51.200 One woman said that she likes how masking makes her gender ambiguous.

00:06:57.200 And another said that she likes how when she wears the mask, it takes away the male gaze.

00:07:03.180 Apparently, she's under the impression that the male gaze focuses on the nose and the mouth and not other parts of the body.

00:07:10.680 I've also been told that we should keep wearing a mask because even if not COVID, there are still many other germs out there.

00:07:16.880 And this excuse is interesting, as it would seem to indicate that these forever masker types just discovered the existence of germs this past year.

00:07:27.940 I mean, there were masks available prior to a year ago and also plenty of germs out there.

00:07:33.400 And yet nobody ever even considered walking around in a mask all day unless they had some very specific medical reason for doing so.

00:07:41.820 Someone else, Dave Leviton, a reporter for the Daily Beast, he tweeted at me on Sunday to argue that wearing a mask to cover your face is no different in principle from wearing pants.

00:07:55.380 And I don't object to people wearing pants, so why should I object to people wearing masks? 0.99

00:08:00.220 What this really tells me is that Dave sees no difference between his face and his ass. 0.98

00:08:06.160 And that may indeed be the case for him specifically, but I don't think that holds true across the board. 0.98

00:08:13.580 All told, what's clear is that lots of people are going to cling desperately to their masks for reasons that have nothing to do with the process of science at all.

00:08:21.700 But I've pointed all this out many times before.

00:08:25.180 Lots of people have pointed it out.

00:08:27.280 What I'd like to do now is explain why it bothers me to have healthy people walking around in masks when it is not medically necessary.

00:08:37.080 Yes, I can go out maskless myself, and I have been doing that all along.

00:08:41.900 But why do I care what other people do?

00:08:44.820 Why do I have an opinion about that?

00:08:48.000 Why should it cause me any distress if we now live in a society where millions of people will wear masks everywhere all the time for reasons that have little to do with health and safety?

00:08:59.200 Well, because it is grotesque and unhuman.

00:09:04.700 It is an attack on and rejection of society itself.

00:09:09.200 The people who do this, they're not only treating air like it's poison, not only walking around every day as if they live downwind of Chernobyl, but they're treating other human beings like they are nothing but vessels of disease.

00:09:22.900 And yes, humans can be vessels of disease.

00:09:26.940 But by wearing the mask, again, when it's not medically necessary, I'm not talking about somebody on chemo or something wearing a mask.

00:09:33.720 By wearing the mask, you are declaring that in your mind other human beings are toxic.

00:09:39.180 To you, the most foremost, the most salient fact about other humans is that they might make you sick.

00:09:46.620 You are living a life steeped in paranoia and fear and suspicion, literally wearing your neuroses on your face and thereby feeding and promoting paranoia and fear in other people.

00:09:56.460 When you're wearing a mask, the first thing you're saying to everyone you come across and speak to and interact with is that they are potentially diseased.

00:10:07.420 They are a danger to you as you are to them.

00:10:11.580 Does that bother me?

00:10:13.320 Does it bother me if that's what we're saying to everyone we see all the time in perpetuity?

00:10:18.900 Yeah, it does.

00:10:19.880 You know, a part of living in a human society is walking down the street, seeing the faces of strangers, being able to look at them and them at you.

00:10:34.520 A big part of human communication is body language, facial expression.

00:10:39.100 These are major facets of human existence and human interchange.

00:10:43.360 These aren't small things.

00:10:44.640 There are people who wish to take that away permanently.

00:10:50.680 Which is to say they want to fundamentally reshape the way that human beings interact with each other and see each other.

00:10:55.840 Am I opposed to that?

00:10:56.820 Yes, I am.

00:10:58.820 Very much so.

00:11:01.260 Here, I think, is the point.

00:11:04.500 Your medically unnecessary mask is not just a private decision.

00:11:10.040 It's not.

00:11:10.780 It is a public statement. 0.99

00:11:17.320 An arrogant, disgraceful, repulsive statement.

00:11:22.020 It's a statement that should be condemned by all people who wish to live in a healthy and properly ordered society.

00:11:29.100 And so that's why I care.

00:11:30.360 And that's why, frankly, maybe we should be thinking about considering the psychological health risks posed by healthy people wearing medically unnecessary masks.

00:11:43.560 Maybe we should be thinking about about masking bans.

00:11:46.320 That's what we should be calling for across the country.

00:11:47.940 At least 15 days of a masking ban to slow the spread of paranoia and OCD across the country.

00:12:00.260 I think maybe that's it.

00:12:01.340 That's what we need.

00:12:02.900 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:12:04.340 Let's get to our five headlines.

00:12:34.340 ReliefBand is the number one FDA-cleared anti-nausea wristband that's been clinically proven to quickly relieve and effectively prevent nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness, but also anxiety, migraine, hangover, morning sickness, chemotherapy, and so much more.

00:12:46.160 The product is 100% drug-free.

00:12:47.920 It's non-drowsy.

00:12:48.860 It provides all-natural relief with zero side effects.

00:12:52.400 The technology was originally developed in hospitals, but it's now available to the masses, and you've got to take advantage of this.

00:12:59.260 ReliefBand is the only over-the-counter wearable device that's been used in hospitals and oncology clinics to treat nausea and vomiting.

00:13:06.060 This year, ensure that nausea is never the reason to miss out on life's important moments.

00:13:09.300 Right now, ReliefBand has an exclusive offer just for Matt Walsh listeners.

00:13:12.660 If you go to ReliefBand.com, use promo code Walsh, you'll receive 20% off plus free shipping and no questions asked, 30-day money-back guarantee.

00:13:19.700 So head to R-E-L-I-E-F-B-A-N-D.com and use promo code Walsh for 20% off.

00:13:26.300 All right, so sort of staying on the same subject here. 0.78

00:13:30.800 The CDC director, Rochelle Walensky, is obviously an incompetent liar, which means that she fits right in, of course, in government and the federal government. 0.98

00:13:39.200 But she was on ABC, and she had a couple of interesting things to say. 0.69

00:13:43.080 I want to play this for you first.

00:13:44.600 She makes a stipulation.

00:13:47.800 She's asked about how many people have died of COVID after getting the vaccine.

00:13:52.300 And she sort of gets around to giving the number, but she makes a very curious stipulation about those people.

00:14:02.040 And let's see if you pick up on this.

00:14:03.240 Let's listen.

00:14:04.520 Are you aware of any fully vaccinated individual who has died of COVID-19?

00:14:11.520 We do keep a track of this on our website.

00:14:14.920 We are asking hospitals and health care facilities to send us cases of what we're calling breakthrough infections.

00:14:24.480 They occur.

00:14:25.680 They are rare.

00:14:26.420 We are aware of 223 as of May 10th that are among the 115 million people that had been vaccinated by that time.

00:14:36.140 I also want to convey that now many, many hospitals are screening people for COVID when they come in.

00:14:42.420 So not all of those 223 cases who had COVID actually died of COVID.

00:14:47.720 They may have had mild disease but died, for example, of a heart attack.

00:14:51.440 So Casey said 223 cases, but no confirmed deaths of people who are vaccinated from COVID.

00:14:59.840 I'm sorry, there have been 223 deaths out of 115 million people who have been vaccinated.

00:15:08.540 An extraordinarily low rate when you consider the death rate of COVID itself.

00:15:15.000 Huh.

00:15:16.120 That's interesting.

00:15:18.620 Okay, so a couple things there.

00:15:21.360 At first, it sounds like she is trying to say that there have been 223 breakthrough, so-called breakthrough cases of COVID.

00:15:29.100 People getting COVID after getting the vaccine.

00:15:33.220 But then she says that, no, no, those are the people who died of it.

00:15:36.960 Died of COVID.

00:15:39.080 So how many actual breakthrough cases have there been?

00:15:41.800 Assuming that not every person with a breakthrough case died.

00:15:45.640 What's the number of breakthrough cases?

00:15:47.620 She actually didn't tell us that, but we can assume it's much higher.

00:15:50.640 But she also says that, well, just because someone who's been vaccinated dies with COVID, it doesn't mean they died of COVID.

00:16:02.620 Wow.

00:16:03.820 I mean, because that sounds, isn't that exactly what lots, what some of us have been saying about the COVID death rate all along?

00:16:11.940 Like, up until just now, to say what she just said there would have been condemned and was condemned as anti-science, conspiracy theory, so on and so forth.

00:16:26.600 Many of us, right, have been wondering this all along.

00:16:32.300 We've said, yes, obviously COVID is real.

00:16:34.640 Obviously, it's killing lots of people.

00:16:36.120 But are we, every single person who dies with COVID, does that count as dying of COVID?

00:16:42.500 Are we conflating these things?

00:16:46.200 There seems to be an indication maybe we have in some cases.

00:16:49.380 How often has it been conflated incorrectly?

00:16:54.780 And here she is admitting it, at least when it comes to the vaccinated people.

00:16:59.380 Because she's saying, look, anyone who comes to the hospital and dies, we're going to run a COVID test, and there might be some people who died of a heart attack or something.

00:17:11.500 They happen to have COVID.

00:17:13.500 Asymptomatic doesn't mean they died of it.

00:17:17.040 It's just, it's fascinating that now we hear this from the CDC.

00:17:21.080 Now they admit that.

00:17:24.820 And I don't, I don't, I don't doubt at all what she's saying.

00:17:29.380 To me, it seems there's a very good chance that a large portion of those people who died with COVID after getting vaccinated didn't actually die of COVID.

00:17:39.520 I don't know what the number is.

00:17:40.620 She's not telling us.

00:17:42.420 It wouldn't surprise me if it was a large portion.

00:17:46.560 But then you got to take that logic and extend it out and start asking that same question in general about the COVID death rate.

00:17:54.240 But we're not allowed to do that.

00:17:55.400 You can't do that.

00:17:55.880 You're only allowed to do that when you're doing it for the purposes of pushing the vaccine.

00:18:06.400 She was also asked about why the CDC made this change with the masking guidelines so suddenly.

00:18:13.120 And she claimed that the science has evolved in just two weeks.

00:18:17.240 Let's listen to that.

00:18:18.240 It was just Tuesday when you sat before a Senate committee and you were adamant then that masking and social distancing should remain in place.

00:18:28.080 But the Washington Post is reporting you had already approved a decision to change the guidance.

00:18:33.700 When it was finally announced on Thursday, it came as a huge surprise and left some administration officials, doctors, businesses off guard.

00:18:40.960 So why so suddenly and why did you not tell the Senate panel what you had decided?

00:18:46.680 We're at a place in this pandemic.

00:18:48.300 Cases have been coming down more than a third just in the last two weeks.

00:18:52.740 We have vaccine now across this country, widely available for anyone who wants it.

00:18:57.940 And we now have science that has really just evolved even in the last two weeks that demonstrates that these vaccines are safe, they are effective, they are working in the population just as they did in the clinical trials, that they are working against our variants that we have here circulating in the United States.

00:19:14.800 And that if you were to develop an infection, even if you got vaccinated, that you can't transmit that infection to other people.

00:19:22.420 Some of that science was really evolving as late as last Thursday.

00:19:26.180 And one of the published one of the papers, the largest paper was published from the CDC just the day before yesterday.

00:19:32.140 So we were actively reviewing that science during the past week.

00:19:36.340 We were making decisions and moving, moving and our subject matter experts were working just as I was testifying in front of Congress.

00:19:43.220 And that was what was happening.

00:19:45.320 I told the American people I'd deliver the science as soon as we had it.

00:19:49.320 Deliver the science.

00:19:51.500 What the hell does that even mean?

00:19:54.300 It's got to deliver the science.

00:19:56.480 Here's the science you ordered.

00:19:59.060 Special delivery.

00:20:00.620 She's lying.

00:20:02.040 She's simply lying.

00:20:05.880 And these people have been lying to us from day one.

00:20:09.000 From day one, they've been lying. 0.99

00:20:10.360 They've been looking into cameras and lying their asses off to us. 0.99

00:20:15.880 That's what that is. 0.91

00:20:17.120 The science evolved in the last two weeks.

00:20:19.580 No.

00:20:19.800 What?

00:20:21.460 What does that mean?

00:20:22.880 First of all, exactly.

00:20:25.880 You say a certain paper was published.

00:20:28.440 OK, so you're telling me that up until two weeks ago, you you weren't sure whether the vaccine even worked.

00:20:36.800 So you've been pushing the vaccine for months.

00:20:43.740 And getting millions and tens and tens and tens of millions of people vaccinated and you weren't even sure if it was working.

00:20:51.420 Well, that's a little concerning if that's true.

00:20:54.680 What about other questions about what about side effects, long term effects?

00:20:58.780 You know, you say the vaccine is safe.

00:21:00.480 OK, well, is that science evolving, too?

00:21:04.300 You're saying you just realized two weeks with.

00:21:07.840 No, I'm sorry.

00:21:08.320 Not even two weeks ago within the last two weeks.

00:21:13.840 And came to the conclusion last week, a few days ago.

00:21:17.420 That the vaccine actually works.

00:21:21.980 And so, of course, you don't need a mask.

00:21:25.180 Well, again, if that science was, quote, evolving up until a few days ago.

00:21:31.580 Then doesn't that raise a lot of very concerning questions about what else you don't know?

00:21:37.940 About this substance that you're injecting into millions of people.

00:21:40.560 Now, the good news here in a certain way is that she's lying and it's clear that she's lying.

00:21:51.140 We've we have known all along that vaccinated people don't need to wear masks, just like we've known a lot of other things about masking that they've lied to us about.

00:22:03.200 And this is what they you could just follow.

00:22:06.300 Well, I was going to say follow the trajectory with masking, but it's not really a trajectory because it's like it's up and down.

00:22:10.560 And it's schizophrenic all over the place.

00:22:12.580 But what they've told us about masks.

00:22:16.500 Originally saying nobody needs to wear it and then everyone needs to wear it and then just back and forth all over the place.

00:22:24.860 Have they been.

00:22:27.120 Following the science that whole time.

00:22:30.240 No, they've been following something else.

00:22:34.760 Largely politics.

00:22:35.800 So if they're following the science here, it's political science that they are that they're following.

00:22:40.980 The other thing that we've been expected to believe over the last year.

00:22:47.200 Is that.

00:22:52.020 We have known almost nothing about how medical masks work up until this last year.

00:22:59.900 And over the last year, we've been, you know, the scientists and the public health experts have been researching it and figuring it out and it's been evolving and everything else.

00:23:10.820 Medical masks have been around forever.

00:23:12.740 There's not much that we've actually learned about them in the last year that we didn't know prior to a year ago.

00:23:22.700 And that's an important point because it shows, again, that when the so-called public health experts have been all over the map in their masking guidance.

00:23:31.040 It's not because they're trying to figure out if masks work and what they do exactly and all of this.

00:23:37.320 We've known what a mask is and what function it serves and all that.

00:23:41.380 We've known that.

00:23:45.500 It's more that they've been calibrating their own political needs.

00:23:49.080 That's what all this is about.

00:23:51.080 That's what it's always been about.

00:23:52.340 All right. Number two from the Daily Wire, it says Heritage of Pride, the organization that hosts New York City's annual LGBT Pride Parade, voted to ban police from participating in the 2021 Pride Parade, even going so far as to cancel the annual march of LGBT New York Police Department officers and is working to reduce the presence of law enforcement because the NYPD, quote, represents violence.

00:24:14.560 It's not clear whether Heritage of Pride has the authority to force law enforcement to draw down its presence at the parade, given that New York City has seen an increase in crime rate and the Pride Parade is traditionally a large event.

00:24:26.100 But the organization believes it does have the authority to ban officers from participating in the parade.

00:24:33.040 According to ABC, quote, police will be banned from participating in NYC Pride events, including its signature LGBTQ March until 2025.

00:24:41.700 NYC Pride is also working to reduce the New York Police Department security and first responder presence at its events, according to the organization.

00:24:52.320 And Andre Thomas of Heritage of Pride said, quote, we know many LGBT cops, but what the institution represents sometimes to a person of color or trans person is violence.

00:25:01.660 And that doesn't make you feel safe.

00:25:03.240 So that's the perspective we're coming from.

00:25:05.000 And it's a difficult place to be.

00:25:06.240 But we know that that's what our community expects from us at this time.

00:25:11.700 You know, the only thing I'll say to that is that.

00:25:16.320 I.

00:25:18.040 First of all, I'm not crazy about cops participating in the Pride Parade anyway, but really doing you a favor, I guess, if you're banned from participating in the Pride Parade.

00:25:29.580 Because it's not really the kind of spectacle you should want to be a part of anyway.

00:25:33.200 You know, traditionally, pride is considered a sin.

00:25:42.080 It's not something that you celebrate.

00:25:45.820 It is the Pride Parade explicitly is a celebration of vanity.

00:25:51.820 It's a, hey, everyone, look at me moment.

00:25:53.800 And even leaving aside what you're expressing, what you're expressing pride in your sexual orientation.

00:26:02.920 How can you even be proud of that?

00:26:05.240 What is that, an accomplishment?

00:26:09.180 But no, it's not an accomplishment.

00:26:10.840 So this is, you know, there's a certain, there is, you know, we use the word pride and it could be used in a couple different ways.

00:26:17.000 You know, we could talk about, as a father, I'm proud of my kids.

00:26:23.760 That's a good kind of pride.

00:26:25.480 You could be proud of an achievement, you know, if you accomplish something you've been working really hard towards.

00:26:33.460 That's good, good pride.

00:26:36.420 But the kind of pride at a Pride Parade is neither of those.

00:26:41.240 You're not expressing pride in another person.

00:26:43.380 You're not expressing pride over an accomplishment of some kind.

00:26:46.060 No, this is the sinful pride.

00:26:48.200 This is the bad pride.

00:26:49.580 This is the pride.

00:26:50.580 This is vanity is what it is.

00:26:53.780 So if you're banned from participating as a police officer or anyone else, take that as a blessing.

00:26:59.900 Not something you should want to be associated with in the first place.

00:27:02.700 Number three, here's viral video of a teacher in Wisconsin berating a student who says he's vaccinated because the student's not wearing a mask.

00:27:10.160 And, you know, of course, we're really glad to have these people back in the classroom now because our children needed these people so badly.

00:27:17.620 And finally, you know, we've reunited them, at least in many schools across the country.

00:27:23.420 And that's what leads to stuff like this. 0.97

00:27:25.360 I don't care if you're vaccinated, you little ****. 0.99

00:27:30.080 Okay. 1.00

00:27:31.080 I don't want to get sick and die.

00:27:33.520 Okay.

00:27:34.220 There's other people you can infect just because you're vaccinated.

00:27:37.360 You know what?

00:27:37.840 You're not a special person around here.

00:27:40.780 You should hear about how everybody talks about you. 1.00

00:27:43.160 You're a jerk. 1.00

00:27:43.940 Don't talk to me. 1.00

00:27:44.420 I don't care how people talk about you. 1.00

00:27:45.100 You're a jerk. 1.00

00:27:46.400 Okay. 1.00

00:27:47.980 And you need to have respect for other people in your life.

00:27:51.460 I do.

00:27:52.000 You're not a big man on campus.

00:27:54.540 Teachers, you know, they're just selfless heroes.

00:28:00.800 You got to respect and love teachers so much.

00:28:04.000 I mean, these people have had, they've had the year off.

00:28:07.740 You just got like a 12-month vacation and you're already screaming at your students.

00:28:14.760 You're already burnt out.

00:28:17.520 You should hear how everyone talks around you.

00:28:19.540 Nobody likes you.

00:28:20.340 What?

00:28:20.640 This is the teacher saying that.

00:28:23.920 That's the kind of stuff you would expect but not accept from the teenagers in the classroom.

00:28:30.600 Of course, the real, and I thought the student handled the berating pretty well.

00:28:36.220 You know, he was the calm, rational, insane one, which is what you so often find in these classrooms.

00:28:43.200 That the students are the more rational ones, unfortunately.

00:28:47.920 But the real irony here, and if you couldn't see the video, then you didn't pick up on the real irony.

00:28:53.120 But the irony is that the teacher is morbidly obese.

00:28:58.340 Pretty clearly from the video.

00:29:00.280 So she's morbidly obese, and she's worried that she's going to die because of that student sitting across the room.

00:29:09.740 She's worried that that's what's going to kill her. 0.54

00:29:12.100 The student.

00:29:12.660 Even though I'm going to assume that she's vaccinated.

00:29:20.000 Right?

00:29:20.480 I'll make that assumption.

00:29:23.160 And if she's not vaccinated, it's because she didn't want to be.

00:29:25.340 She could be vaccinated by now.

00:29:26.760 So we'll just assume that she is.

00:29:28.220 Especially if she's concerned that everyone around her is going to get her sick and make her die. 0.83

00:29:33.440 So she's vaccinated, and yet she's, assuming she's vaccinated, the kid is vaccinated, what does she think is going to happen?

00:29:43.140 No, as we've been saying here for a while, it's, you're morbidly obese.

00:29:52.720 The health concern, especially if you're vaccinated now, the health concern that you need to worry about is not COVID.

00:29:59.240 And even before you were vaccinated, yeah, you did need to be worried about COVID, but the main reason you had to worry about it is because of how COVID affects obese people.

00:30:06.860 And they were the, you know, took the brunt along with the elderly of the deaths and the serious side effects and everything.

00:30:16.040 So if you're that concerned, maybe stop screaming at the student and, I don't know, lay off the fast food hamburgers for a few months, lose a few pounds.

00:30:28.420 If you're that worried, just a thought.

00:30:34.300 All right.

00:30:35.000 60 minutes.

00:30:35.700 I got to play this.

00:30:37.160 60 minutes had a report on, I know some of you are sick of me talking about this subject, but you're just going to have to deal with it because this matters and this is important.

00:30:46.840 60 minutes had a report on all of the UFO encounters that we've been hearing about in the lead up to the report that's going to be given to Congress in the next month or so from the Defense Department about all of this.

00:31:00.700 I thought one interview that was especially compelling, and the whole thing from 60 Minutes is worth watching, but one interview was especially compelling.

00:31:08.680 It was from two Navy pilots, part of a team of four, who personally, with their own eyes, observed one of these things up close.

00:31:16.180 And here they are talking about it.

00:31:20.020 On November 14th, Fravor and Dietrich, each with a weapons system officer in the backseat, were diverted to investigate.

00:31:28.800 They found an area of roiling whitewater the size of a 737 in an otherwise calm blue sea.

00:31:37.380 So, as we're looking at this, her backseater says, hey, Skipper, do you?

00:31:44.620 And about that got out, I said, dude, do you see that thing down there?

00:31:48.460 And we saw this little white, tic-tac-looking object, and it's just kind of moving above the whitewater area.

00:31:54.100 As Dietrich circled above, Fravor went in for a closer look.

00:31:59.100 Sort of spiraling down?

00:32:00.740 The tic-tac's still pointing north-south.

00:32:02.480 It goes, and just turns abruptly and starts mirroring me.

00:32:06.800 So as I'm coming down, it starts coming up.

00:32:09.200 So it's mimicking your moves.

00:32:11.240 Yeah, it was aware we were there.

00:32:12.760 He said it was about the size of his F-18, with no markings, no wings, no exhaust plumes.

00:32:19.180 I'll see how close I can get.

00:32:21.060 So I go like this, and it's climbing still.

00:32:24.100 And when it gets right in front of me, it just disappears.

00:32:27.240 Disappears?

00:32:27.760 Disappears.

00:32:28.600 Like, gone.

00:32:29.960 It had sped off.

00:32:31.720 What are you thinking?

00:32:33.040 So your mind tries to make sense of it.

00:32:35.280 I'm going to categorize this as maybe a helicopter or maybe a drone.

00:32:40.400 And when it disappeared, I mean, it was just...

00:32:43.180 Did your backseaters see this, too?

00:32:45.500 Yeah.

00:32:45.840 Oh, yeah.

00:32:46.100 There was four of us in the airplanes literally watching this thing for roughly about five minutes.

00:32:51.560 Okay, what else do you want?

00:32:52.560 What else do you want?

00:32:57.040 I mean, that is...

00:32:58.460 Okay, so you've got four eyewitnesses that see not...

00:33:02.480 It's not like they saw this thing speed across the sky in a blur in two seconds.

00:33:07.520 They're observing it up close for five minutes.

00:33:11.780 So you've got four eyewitnesses.

00:33:15.020 And we should note expert eyewitnesses.

00:33:17.120 These are Navy pilots.

00:33:18.820 And their job is to observe and detect threats in the sky.

00:33:26.100 So four expert eyewitnesses observing this phenomenon for a sustained period of time.

00:33:35.780 And what they witnessed, their testimony is confirmed by radar and by video.

00:33:43.480 And we have some of the video that you can watch.

00:33:46.620 And 60 Minutes played some of that video, too.

00:33:48.300 So that's about as persuasive as evidence could possibly be.

00:33:55.760 You know, for a long time, the complaint about these UFO sightings is that all of the, you know, it's just like if this was really happening, we would expect more evidence than just some farmer in Kansas who says that he saw this thing and nobody else saw it.

00:34:11.980 And he didn't have a camera or he did have a camera, but it was a camera from, you know, somehow a camera from the Civil War era or something like that.

00:34:21.200 And that was my complaint about it.

00:34:22.600 But now we're getting the kind of evidence that you would expect if these things were really happening in our skies.

00:34:33.000 So does that prove that it's alien technology?

00:34:36.020 No, but it it it does prove that there's something going on.

00:34:43.520 This is not a figment of anyone's imagination.

00:34:46.700 This is not these are not weather balloons.

00:34:48.940 OK, this is not hallucination.

00:34:50.700 It wasn't like all four of those pilots were hallucinating the same thing at the same time.

00:34:56.840 And these are we know that these are some kinds of vehicles that are out there and they're they they are doing things that seem impossible.

00:35:03.820 That seem even to break the laws of physics as we understand them.

00:35:08.640 I think I think that much we can say with 100 percent certainty.

00:35:13.840 Everything I just said now, as far as where the thing are from and what they're doing and all of that.

00:35:18.880 Well, of course, we can't speak with anything close to certainty on that, but.

00:35:23.320 It is a it's something.

00:35:25.820 And and I and I and I continue to I'm not sold on the alien technology part of it, but.

00:35:37.440 Other than that, what is it?

00:35:38.820 Russia, China has this kind of technology.

00:35:42.160 My problem with that theory.

00:35:43.940 That it's some foreign. 0.99

00:35:47.180 Power that has this sort of technology.

00:35:51.040 Is that these kinds of sightings, first of all, go back, you know, well, really, they go back many decades.

00:35:59.360 And it just makes you wonder if if some foreign adversary has this kind of technology, technology that's.

00:36:06.940 I mean, centuries beyond our capabilities.

00:36:12.160 Then why aren't they doing more than just buzzing around in the sky over the ocean?

00:36:17.800 Why haven't they already invaded and destroyed us or or, you know, subjugated us?

00:36:24.460 Why why aren't we a slave state to China if China has this kind of technology?

00:36:28.360 So I don't know.

00:36:30.580 And you could you could use that same argument with with the space alien theory and say, well, what are they doing?

00:36:36.300 Why haven't they invaded by now?

00:36:37.760 So who knows?

00:36:40.360 That's space aliens. 0.52

00:36:41.960 OK, we also have around the same time.

00:36:45.860 There's been an uptick of Bigfoot sightings as well.

00:36:48.580 And I got to play this for you because this.

00:36:50.000 Well, first, here's here's the report from Daily Caller.

00:36:51.920 It says a user on TikTok has blown up after claiming to have evidence of humanoids living in the wild.

00:36:57.320 TikTok user Chronicles of Olivia released several videos which have generated millions of views in the past few days about these humanoids in the wild that the government allegedly knows about.

00:37:07.020 The biggest piece of evidence she provided was a photo of a footprint at Lena Lake in Washington.

00:37:13.260 And it's a lot.

00:37:14.180 She has like this long TikTok series.

00:37:15.920 And I did because I'm a loser with nothing better to do.

00:37:19.160 I watched the entire thing.

00:37:20.480 I'm not going to subject you to all of it.

00:37:22.260 But here's a quick clip of her talking about her experience with Bigfoot.

00:37:26.740 Maybe not Bigfoot, but some kind of humanoid, half ape creatures living in the woods. 0.93

00:37:31.560 Let's watch.

00:37:32.940 So the encounter that my mom and I had became a case.

00:37:37.360 We were contacted by a reporter.

00:37:39.780 And there are things that the government knows about that I know that the public does not know.

00:37:46.620 They keep this a secret.

00:37:47.900 And I understand because they don't want to scare people.

00:37:50.560 I get it.

00:37:51.160 That's understandable.

00:37:51.880 But there are creatures, there are humanoids that live in these national parks that are not yet classified as a species yet.

00:38:00.880 I walked to the edge of this mud embankment and I was standing there in complete awe because this whole entire area, 1.00

00:38:08.760 and you can even see the indents in the mud, there were hundreds and hundreds of footprints.

00:38:14.900 But, like, they were the weirdest footprints I had ever seen.

00:38:18.680 So here's the photo, and you're probably wondering, wow, that was pointless.

00:38:23.820 It's literally a human footprint.

00:38:25.900 Yes.

00:38:26.060 No one cares.

00:38:27.080 Exactly.

00:38:28.360 Guys, this right here, this ridge right here is called a mid-tarsal break.

00:38:37.220 Ah.

00:38:37.720 Human footprints do not have a mid-tarsal break, and this footprint contains a mid-tarsal break.

00:38:46.400 So what mid-tarsal break means is that the outer parts of the foot bend at the middle.

00:38:51.660 This is only found in primates.

00:38:54.100 The foot bones of an ape don't lock together in the same way that a human's foot does.

00:38:59.180 I think that's pretty much it.

00:39:00.580 We could just cut it there.

00:39:01.500 I mean, she goes on into greater detail, but that's basically the mid-tarsal, the mid-tarsal break.

00:39:09.400 I mean, I can't, how else could you explain those footprints with a little line across them?

00:39:15.900 There's no other way to explain it.

00:39:17.260 Obviously, it's Bigfoot.

00:39:19.120 How else could you get a footprint with a line across it?

00:39:22.420 I can think of no other possible explanation.

00:39:26.740 No, see, I think when I started playing this, maybe some of you were worried that I'd gone way off the reservation,

00:39:31.280 and I was about to start endorsing Bigfoot, too, but this is where I, pun intended, this is where I draw the line,

00:39:38.660 much like I think she drew the line on that footprint.

00:39:41.920 I draw the line at the Bigfoot stuff.

00:39:44.060 I would love to believe it.

00:39:45.840 Don't get me wrong.

00:39:46.500 That would be great.

00:39:47.120 That would be a lot of fun if there was actually Bigfoot living out in the woods.

00:39:50.020 So I want to believe it.

00:39:51.440 I'm a willing, you know, listener.

00:39:54.960 I'm an eager and willing listener.

00:39:56.540 Like, anytime someone says they have evidence of Bigfoot, I'm sitting here like, okay, convince me.

00:40:00.520 I want to be convinced, but no, it never, it never, this is one same objection that you get with UFOs,

00:40:11.460 although, as I said, I think that the objection for UFOs doesn't hold anymore because we do have really good evidence,

00:40:15.920 but with Bigfoot, you would expect if there's not just one, but a whole race,

00:40:22.800 a whole species of these giant half-man, half-ape creatures living in the woods in the continental United States, 0.99

00:40:31.180 you would expect something by now, some really, really compelling evidence.

00:40:36.420 Not a footprint with a line drawn across it.

00:40:38.240 And not, like, once again, the grainy photo from, with, taken by a camera from, you know,

00:40:47.100 the same camera that was used at the Gettysburg Address.

00:40:50.120 Like, clear video, everyone walks around now with high-definition cameras in their pockets.

00:40:55.240 So, video, something.

00:40:59.760 Maybe, why hasn't anyone ever stumbled across, like, an encampment of these things?

00:41:05.980 A burial site?

00:41:08.180 Anything.

00:41:08.620 Anything.

00:41:10.520 So, I can't, I can't go there with Bigfoot yet, as much as I would like to.

00:41:14.420 I'm not there.

00:41:15.540 All right, let's move now to reading the YouTube comments.

00:41:18.540 Pink Butterfly, referring to Bill de Blasio trying to sell vaccines by promising free fast food.

00:41:25.080 Pink Butterfly says, 0.99

00:41:26.680 Wait a minute, I thought we weren't supposed to use food as a reward.

00:41:30.060 At least, that's what almost every child psychologist has been saying for years.

00:41:33.400 Do the child psychologists say that?

00:41:35.560 Because I use food as a reward sometimes with my kids.

00:41:38.620 I'll give you a snack if you do this or that. 0.62

00:41:40.660 You know what?

00:41:41.220 And I don't even care.

00:41:42.240 I understand.

00:41:43.240 Oh, you're not supposed to do that.

00:41:44.420 That doesn't matter.

00:41:45.940 You know what parenting is?

00:41:47.320 Parenting is, you just get through every day.

00:41:51.020 You make the best decisions you can in the moment.

00:41:54.900 I don't care what the child psychologists say.

00:41:56.820 I don't care about the parenting books.

00:41:58.800 Doesn't matter to me.

00:42:03.080 All right.

00:42:04.460 INT Jerk says,

00:42:05.640 They might as well say that after you get the vaccine, the doctor will give you a free lollipop for being such a good and brave little boy.

00:42:12.020 I would be more motivated by that, frankly, than I would by the fast food coupon.

00:42:19.240 Linda says,

00:42:19.860 I sometimes forget Matt is so young.

00:42:21.620 He speaks with such knowledge and wisdom that he should be around 60.

00:42:25.380 Well, I am.

00:42:26.000 I'm 64 years old.

00:42:29.180 Mac Miller says,

00:42:30.080 I was listening to this.

00:42:31.340 Matt yelled,

00:42:31.940 Hit like, like now.

00:42:33.140 And I had to get on YouTube and like it out of sheer terror.

00:42:35.620 Well, that's good.

00:42:36.140 So hit like, hit it right now. 0.78

00:42:39.160 Oh.

00:42:42.360 Might be getting a little overboard.

00:42:43.620 I just hurt my hand a little.

00:42:44.500 That actually did hurt.

00:42:47.520 Alice Jones says,

00:42:49.520 Hold on a second.

00:42:50.460 Where are we?

00:42:53.160 Oh, Matthew says,

00:42:54.000 Matt, on the survey,

00:42:55.060 I had to put wardrobe as the thing I like least about the show.

00:42:59.660 You got to do better.

00:43:01.320 So these surveys I've been telling people to fill out,

00:43:03.320 they're asking you what you like least about the show.

00:43:07.900 I would never have told you to fill it out if I knew it was going to be hurtful things like that.

00:43:14.040 They didn't tell me that here when they said,

00:43:15.940 Oh, you got to tell people to fill out the survey.

00:43:18.100 They didn't tell I was soliciting insults against myself.

00:43:21.120 Um, and, uh, let's see.

00:43:25.460 I thought there was more, but I guess that's it.

00:43:28.180 Oh, Gerilyn says,

00:43:29.080 I really appreciate the irony of Matt yelling and demanding we hit the like button

00:43:32.320 and moments later introducing Ben Shapiro's book,

00:43:35.080 The Authoritarian Moment.

00:43:36.340 Well, yeah, well, you know, but, but I'm also a theocratic fascist.

00:43:40.280 So what do you expect?

00:43:41.760 You get what you expect from me.

00:43:43.380 Well, if your dream is coming to Nashville on the Daily Wire's dime to meet Candace Owens,

00:43:47.360 then, uh, look, I've already lived your dream and I can tell you how great it is.

00:43:51.120 But more importantly, Candace Owens has lived the dream of meeting me.

00:43:55.100 I think, I think she would agree with that if you asked her, but don't ask her.

00:43:58.980 Uh, lucky for you, your dream might actually come true.

00:44:40.020 The Daily Wire, we're growing very fast, but we want to hear from you.

00:44:43.240 So go to dailywire.com slash Walsh and fill out my audience survey to tell us a little bit more

00:44:49.320 about yourself. Is this about you or is it about me? Okay. We want to hear about you.

00:44:55.920 We don't, we don't need to hear your opinion of me, right? And if you're, you have opinions,

00:45:00.240 they should be good opinions. Cause I do, I am going to be seeing all these results.

00:45:04.640 It would cause my, my ego to just crash and burn in flames. If you don't say nice things.

00:45:09.460 Anyway, um, to sweeten the whole experience, those of you that, uh, that fill out the survey,

00:45:14.020 you get entered to win a $1,000 gift card. You can only get the, uh, be eligible for the gift card

00:45:18.820 per survey that you fill out. You can only fill the survey once per show. So if you want to be

00:45:22.820 eligible more than once, you got to listen to Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan to get

00:45:26.300 access to their surveys as well. Again, my survey link is dailywire.com slash Walsh. We'd love to hear

00:45:31.720 from you, but make sure that you're nice. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:45:35.020 Today, I'm, I'm very excited to cancel a momentously deserving individual named Brittany

00:45:43.260 James, MD. And Brittany James, MD is certainly the kind of MD who wants you to always acknowledge

00:45:47.500 the MD when addressing her. She describes herself in her bio as an anti-racist feminist, a physician,

00:45:53.720 an activist, and a scholar. It probably tells you all you need to know that she lists anti-racist

00:45:58.080 feminists before physician. She also lists her pronouns as expected, but Brittany James, MD tweeted

00:46:03.540 this a couple of days ago. She said, minding my own business shopping and a middle-aged white woman 0.99

00:46:08.340 asked me if I work there. When I looked at her blankly and answered back in a deadpan voice,

00:46:12.900 no, she giggled it off and said, I was just wondering where to put this shirt back,

00:46:17.220 but I'm a bad person if I go off. Well, no, you're not a bad person. If you go off, you're a bad person

00:46:23.620 in general. Um, and also you're a bad person if you go off, but she continues kicking myself for not

00:46:29.720 saying I'm a physician and letting her die of embarrassment, but something tells me she wouldn't

00:46:34.180 even have the decency to be embarrassed. Most of these types don't stop asking black people why 0.98

00:46:39.600 they are angry. I can't even shop in peace. The worst part about everyday racism of white folks is 0.98

00:46:45.120 that we aren't even allowed to be angry about it as a black woman. It would have, it would have come 0.95

00:46:49.900 back on me. I'm tired. Now, after reading this, I very much want to see Dr. James at a retail store

00:46:56.940 so that I can ask her if she works there. And then when she says I'm a physician, I'll say,

00:47:01.140 sure, you are a sweetheart. Now, now tell me what, what, what aisle do I get the laundry detergent? 0.58

00:47:05.300 And I would like to say that to her just to annoy her because annoying entitled jerks 0.99

00:47:10.520 is a virtuous act in my opinion. And I do believe in, uh, annoying entitled jerks equally and 0.99

00:47:17.040 inequitably, by the way, I don't care about your race or your sex. My disdain for entitled jerks 1.00

00:47:23.100 knows no demographic boundaries. In fact, in this case, we should stipulate that we're 0.99

00:47:27.020 dealing with an entitled elitist jerk because what she's really saying here is that retail 0.99

00:47:32.420 workers are beneath her. She quite clearly feels that she belongs to a social strata far above 1.00

00:47:38.600 that of a lowly customer service worker in a name tag. Something tells me that if someone

00:47:43.480 heard her and saw her and assume that she was a rocket scientist or an architect or something,

00:47:48.660 she wouldn't be nearly as traumatized. So this is more than anything about her own fragile

00:47:52.900 ego and the social caste system that she has concocted in her head. And of course placed 0.87

00:47:57.920 herself at the top of now me, I'm not offended when people confuse me with an employee at a

00:48:04.840 store. I don't consider myself to be superior in any way to the guy's stocking shelves at

00:48:10.060 Walmart. So if somebody thinks I'm that guy, fine, what do I care? And yes, I have been asked

00:48:15.160 the, do you work here question many times in my life, admittedly not as much recently. And

00:48:19.340 I think that's partly because when I'm at a store these days, most of the time I'm shopping off of

00:48:25.040 a list that my wife gave me. And the list is about the length of like the Dead Sea Scrolls. And I'm

00:48:29.520 walking around the aisles looking somewhat frantic and bewildered and obsessively going back to my

00:48:34.940 phone as a reference point. Um, the point is I just don't have the vibe of a guy who works in the

00:48:40.020 facility every day and knows where everything is. But back in my younger days of shopping just for

00:48:44.960 myself, uh, and, and knowing exactly what I wanted and where it was because everything I

00:48:50.300 wanted was in the frozen food section. I got confused with workers much more often. And that's,

00:48:56.320 that's because when someone makes this mistake, they're responding. If anything, if they're

00:49:01.080 responding to anything, they're responding to your demeanor and often the clothes that you're wearing

00:49:05.460 and maybe some other signifiers that have nothing to do with race. I probably wouldn't ever be

00:49:11.780 mistaken for an employee at Hot Topic or Victoria's Secret because in those places I would stick out

00:49:17.860 like, well, like a bearded guy in his mid thirties at Hot Topic or Victoria's Secret. It's not racial

00:49:22.760 though. Not everything is racial. In fact, most of the things that people think are racial these days

00:49:27.140 actually aren't. So what we have here is yet another example of a person with a racial framework,

00:49:32.700 a person who sees everything through a racial lens and who assumes that everybody else does the same.

00:49:38.600 In her mind, anything that could theoretically be racism must be racism. It's not just the first

00:49:45.980 explanation she jumps to, but it's the only explanation. She has categorically ruled out all 0.61

00:49:51.440 other potential causes. And she's done this again, in spite of the fact that the interaction she

00:49:57.060 describes hasn't has happened to everyone. It's totally normal and it's not a big deal.

00:50:02.000 By the way, if you want to test this out, then just imagine a white man in a red shirt at Target.

00:50:09.020 Have you ever gone to Target in a red shirt or a blue shirt at Best Buy standing next to a black man 1.00

00:50:15.080 in a white shirt or a gray shirt or something? Who do you think is going to get stopped by someone

00:50:18.740 who assumes that they're an employee? Or we could do it this way. A white guy in a collared shirt with

00:50:23.900 a tie and khakis and a black guy in pajama pants. Who gets the angry older woman coming over to him 1.00

00:50:31.460 and saying, excuse me, are you the manager? Clearly not the guy in pajamas, no matter his race.

00:50:38.200 In fact, you could argue that getting confused for an employee is a compliment because maybe you were 0.92

00:50:44.260 the only person in the store who wasn't dressed like a slob who just woke up with a hangover 12 minutes 0.92

00:50:48.500 ago. But there's another part of this, aside from the racial obsessions of Britney here. 0.99

00:50:54.420 The real driver is not even that, but more so just garden variety narcissism.

00:51:00.320 She is someone who assumes, and there are a lot of people like this out there,

00:51:04.400 that every banal annoyance she encounters must be unique, must be targeted, must be sinister,

00:51:11.500 must be all about her somehow. She doesn't want to think that this is the sort of thing that happens

00:51:16.860 to everybody. Partly because it would destroy her racial narrative, but even more because it would

00:51:20.900 destroy the narrative that she keeps closer to the heart. The narrative that she is the center of the 1.00

00:51:25.400 world and everything that happens to her really matters. Everything is a big deal. If she were to

00:51:32.700 admit that this is an everyday, completely normal, utterly unremarkable event, then she's not only

00:51:38.380 deprived of an opportunity to feel wounded, but also she must admit that her life isn't quite as unique

00:51:43.320 as she assumed and hoped. Here's one thing I'll guarantee. I guarantee that Britney is the kind 0.80

00:51:49.420 of person who honks while stuck in traffic on the highway. Everybody's sitting in the same traffic jam.

00:51:58.040 Everyone is suffering the same inconvenience. Nobody likes it. There's always that person honking as if

00:52:04.600 she is the main character of the traffic jam and all the other cars are conspiring to prevent her from 0.75

00:52:10.240 getting to her Pilates class on time. Everybody else is in her way. She's not in their way. 1.00

00:52:16.080 They're in her way. I mean, why is there traffic on the road in the first place? Well, because lots

00:52:21.080 of people are trying to go in the same direction at the same time. That's also why nobody has the

00:52:25.920 right to be angry about it. Everybody is part of the problem, but Britney can't see it that way. 1.00

00:52:31.520 Britney's also the sort of person who comes home at night and inflicts her self-centered miseries on 1.00

00:52:35.960 whoever has the misfortune of living with her. She'll go into long, drawn-out, epic stories

00:52:40.880 describing every irritation she experienced that day, explaining how everyone is out to get her all

00:52:46.540 the time, the world is so unfair, and so on. What she really needs, but probably doesn't have,

00:52:52.800 is some kind-hearted, compassionate person to say to her, 0.99

00:52:57.020 Hey, Britney, shut up. You're not special. You're not a victim. 1.00

00:53:01.440 The only thing unique about you is that you handle inconvenience much worse than the average

00:53:07.860 person. Other than that, your life is exceedingly average. Your experiences are not incredible or

00:53:14.060 even interesting, and so I'm going to leave now, and I'll let you continue ranting to the wall,

00:53:19.000 because I suspect it'd be all the same to you anyway. Britney needs to hear that. 0.97

00:53:24.660 Lots of people do. But like lots of people, she never has. Until now. So you're welcome, Britney.

00:53:33.180 And also, of course, you're canceled. And we'll leave it there for today.
