The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 742 - Why Our Society Is Collapsing

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, there's been a dramatic increase in violent incidents on airplanes.

00:00:05.200 There's also been a dramatic increase in violent incidents everywhere else in the country.

00:00:10.240 What does all this add up to? We'll talk about that. Also, five headlines.

00:00:13.520 Joe Biden continues to mentally decay in front of the world.

00:00:16.480 If you haven't seen the latest video of this, it's pretty startling.

00:00:19.680 Caitlyn Jenner says that he's the victim of transphobia from the left.

00:00:23.380 Are the Dems, in fact, the real transphobes? 0.94

00:00:26.200 And CNN's Anna Navarro defends public masturbator Jeffrey Toobin. 1.00

00:00:30.920 Her defense is pretty pathetic. 0.99

00:00:32.960 Finally, in our daily cancellation, we'll discuss the increasing efforts to normalize so-called sex work, a.k.a. prostitution. 1.00

00:00:39.780 All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:41.720 So what are you going to do about the fact that it seems like every company, especially this month, is going full woke?

00:00:58.320 Well, one of the things you could do is find the gloriously un-woke companies, and I mean that in the best way possible and support them.

00:01:06.160 One of them is Charity Mobile. You don't have to worry about Charity Mobile doing the woke thing.

00:01:09.280 They're not going to do it. One company that fits the description of a company that's on our side of the culture war is Charity Mobile.

00:01:15.040 That's the Pro-Life phone company. 5% of your monthly plan price goes to the Pro-Life pro-family charity of your choice.

00:01:21.960 And what that means is that you're helping to build a culture of life in America while supporting a Pro-Life phone company.

00:01:27.420 And you're also getting a great service on top of that. I can attest to it.

00:01:31.500 I've been a Charity Mobile customer for, I don't know, a year now or something.

00:01:34.940 And it's been a great experience. A lot of perks. You get new activations and eligible accounts.

00:01:38.500 You get a free cell phone with free activation and free shipping.

00:01:40.780 There's no contracts. There's no termination fees. And there's no risk with a 30-day guarantee.

00:01:45.100 There's also live customer service based right here in the USA, which is good for a number of reasons.

00:01:49.720 Also, it's American jobs. So another reason to support Charity Mobile.

00:01:54.080 This is nationwide service on America's largest and most reliable 4G LTE network.

00:01:58.380 So call them at 1-877-474-3662 or chat with them online at charitymobile.com.

00:02:05.720 You may not have heard about this incident, but it seems pretty notable to me, or at least it should be notable.

00:02:12.020 Newsweek has the report. It says a Delta Airlines pilot asked strong males to help sedue a problem passenger

00:02:18.940 who turned out to be an off-duty flight attendant during a chaotic flight from Los Angeles to Atlanta on Friday. 0.73

00:02:24.640 A Delta spokesperson reportedly said the unnamed off-duty flight attendant hijacked the plane's public address system

00:02:29.760 to speak to passengers about their oxygen masks during Flight 1730, which prompted a dramatic tussle with passengers.

00:02:36.640 The pilot told passengers, according to NBC, this is the captain speaking,

00:02:40.200 we'd like all strong males to come to the front of the aircraft to handle a problem passenger.

00:02:46.240 Now, what does that tell you, by the way?

00:02:48.700 All strong males.

00:02:51.360 You know, you notice he called for strong males.

00:02:53.300 He didn't call for any women because in that moment, when you're up 30,000 feet in the air

00:02:58.300 and there's something happening and needs to be contained, there's no time to worry about political correctness.

00:03:03.720 It's let's get, we need the strong guys here.

00:03:06.560 That's kind of interesting.

00:03:07.560 That's not really the point, though.

00:03:08.820 Video of the chaos was posted to Twitter by a passenger who witnessed it,

00:03:12.520 and she posted the clip explaining, quote, that someone tried to hijack our plane from LAX to Atlanta.

00:03:19.140 So that's what she said, hijack the plane.

00:03:21.200 Here's what that video looks like.

00:03:22.600 Let's watch a little bit of it.

00:03:23.620 Okay, so you can see a whole bunch of guys, can't really see much.

00:03:37.400 This is certainly the kind of thing you don't want to see when you're on an airplane.

00:03:40.720 All right, and eventually, eventually they contained the guy and then they made an emergency landing.

00:03:51.220 And there you go.

00:03:54.180 Now, you look at that video and you hear the story.

00:03:58.280 If you feel like you already heard this same story a few weeks ago and saw a video kind of like that,

00:04:03.700 that's because you did or something very similar to it.

00:04:06.260 In that case, it was a flight also from LA.

00:04:09.260 This was two weeks ago or so.

00:04:11.660 You may be noticing a pattern.

00:04:12.920 Both of these are from LA.

00:04:14.520 This time it was heading to Nashville and a, quote,

00:04:17.340 unruly passenger tried to break into the cockpit and was tackled and restrained by a group of flight attendants.

00:04:23.560 Now, these alleged attempted hijackings or whatever they were may not have been very sophisticated

00:04:28.600 and they may not have had any real chance of success.

00:04:31.040 It's not like the plane was ever in any danger of being taken down.

00:04:34.260 But still, two in less than a month seems like a lot.

00:04:39.260 And in fact, a lot doesn't begin to cover it.

00:04:42.000 There has been a huge rise in violent and dangerous behavior on flights.

00:04:46.160 They mostly aren't attempted hijackings.

00:04:48.740 But even so, the figures cited by Newsweek in the same article are just outrageous and almost impossible to believe.

00:04:54.980 Listen to this.

00:04:55.660 Quoting out, it says,

00:04:57.400 Well, listen to this.

00:05:14.300 That figure leaped to more than 1,300 in the first four months of this year, according to the agency.

00:05:22.660 1,300 in four months as opposed to 100 or so in a whole year.

00:05:27.920 In fact, a BBC article says that U.S. airlines have reported 3,000 unruly passengers this year.

00:05:33.780 Now, there might be a distinction being drawn here between dangerous and unruly, which may explain the disparity.

00:05:40.320 But whether we're looking at 1,300 or 3,000, there's obviously something going on here.

00:05:45.400 A part of the problem is certainly the masking policies, I would guess.

00:05:48.860 A certain number of those unruly passengers may have simply been not wearing a mask or not wearing it correctly and were categorized as unruly and kicked off the plane.

00:05:57.160 I don't know if all these toddlers we see getting kicked off planes because they're not wearing masks, do they go down in the books officially as unruly?

00:06:04.240 I don't know.

00:06:05.620 And certain other instances, certain other passengers in these videos have become unruly because of disputes over masks.

00:06:14.320 And in general, flying is a high-stress situation in a claustrophobic environment already.

00:06:19.660 Maybe any additional annoyances or discomforts added, like having to wear a muzzle on your face the whole time, will only increase the likelihood of confrontations.

00:06:28.100 So that must account for some of the rise in dangerous behavior on flights, but it probably doesn't account for all of it.

00:06:34.880 Especially when you consider that this problem extends far beyond the airline industry.

00:06:38.700 Every other day, there's another video circulating online of massive bras breaking out, sometimes in airports and on planes, but also in restaurants, malls, anywhere else.

00:06:50.800 Add to that the much-publicized videos of people being randomly assaulted in the street.

00:06:54.960 We hear about the Asian victims of these kinds of crimes, but the problem is not limited to Asian victims.

00:07:00.180 And then, of course, there's the surge in violent crime across the country generally, as many of our biggest cities see record numbers of murders, assaults, robberies, etc.

00:07:07.720 It's not just violent crime either.

00:07:09.840 San Francisco has seen a rise in shoplifting that's so dramatic that it's putting many stores out of business.

00:07:17.660 The Independent reports that Walgreens has had to close down 17 locations just due to so-called petty theft.

00:07:24.920 Speaking of which, a video posted yesterday shows a shoplifter literally loading a garbage bag with stolen goods and then casually riding his bike.

00:07:34.640 Yeah, he rode his bike into the store.

00:07:36.200 Riding it out of the store while security guards look on helplessly, not doing anything about it.

00:07:40.660 Let's watch some of that footage here.

00:07:48.440 Now, the security guards are filming it.

00:07:52.220 It looks like it's an employee and a security guard.

00:07:54.400 He makes a kind of lackadaisical attempt to grab the bag, but then gives up and says, ah, never mind.

00:08:09.740 You can take it.

00:08:12.100 And you can hear, I think it was the employee saying, should we call 911?

00:08:14.020 And I don't know whether they called 911 or not, but they probably didn't because it's been made clear that the cops are not going to pursue criminals like this because they're not going to be prosecuted.

00:08:26.400 Now, you think about San Francisco, between the homeless people defecating in the street, the heroin addicts throwing their needles all over the sidewalk, shoplifters strolling out of drugstores with garbage bags full of merchandise, San Francisco is just a lovely place to live.

00:08:41.380 And by lovely, I mean it's a godforsaken hellscape, not unlike many other cities in this country.

00:08:45.620 And so far, listing all of these things, we haven't said anything about the rioting which plagued our cities last summer and has now coincidentally tapered off now that there's a Democrat in office. 0.87

00:08:56.440 But even so, the precedent has been set that mobs of opportunistic scumbags can pour into the street and set fire to random buildings whenever they're upset about something. 0.93

00:09:06.620 And they'll face almost no consequence. 0.82

00:09:08.540 Unless they're right wing, in which case, even if they're trespassing, they're going to be hunted down by the federal government and thrown in jail for 20 years.

00:09:17.480 And all of this is to say nothing of the suicide epidemic among kids, which we discussed at some length yesterday.

00:09:22.960 Now, add all of this together.

00:09:25.780 And what do you get?

00:09:27.960 Not much, I suppose, except maybe the breakdown of human society.

00:09:31.460 That's all.

00:09:32.500 I mean, any one of these factors, rioting, homicide epidemic, people beating the hell out of each other on airplanes.

00:09:37.240 May not signify a societal breakdown on its own, but put them all together at the same time.

00:09:43.880 And I'm not sure what else to call it.

00:09:48.540 The interesting question is why this is happening.

00:09:53.080 I think there's really no question that we're looking at the breakdown of society.

00:09:57.140 The question really is why.

00:09:59.740 And why right now?

00:10:01.020 As for that, I think three contributing factors should be mentioned, though this is far from an exhaustive list.

00:10:08.440 One, you know, it's not a coincidence that many of us predicted this sort of thing well over a year ago when the government locked us all in our homes.

00:10:18.720 We were exactly right, but we didn't need to be profits or fortune tellers to see it coming.

00:10:22.880 You cannot shut down a society of 330 million people for any length of time and expect it to start back up again like nothing happened.

00:10:30.960 In sci-fi movies, you can cryogenically freeze an individual person for a year or 100 years or whatever and then thaw them out and they'll be good as new.

00:10:38.000 Right?

00:10:38.460 In the movies.

00:10:38.940 But even in the movies, you can't do that to an entire society.

00:10:42.680 That doesn't work in fiction, let alone reality.

00:10:44.880 There are consequences to such a drastic and unnecessary measure.

00:10:49.980 Even when you open things back up and you hope that everything's going to go back to normal, it doesn't work that way.

00:10:56.500 There are going to be serious consequences, catastrophic consequences, in fact, and we're seeing them right now, I would argue.

00:11:03.640 Two, another factor also is that trust in and respect for authority is probably at an all-time low.

00:11:12.800 And some of that is deserved.

00:11:15.300 Nobody trusts or respects our politicians, nor should they.

00:11:17.920 But then police also have been demonized as departments are defunded and even the departments that aren't defunded have trouble recruiting new talent.

00:11:25.160 Why would anyone want to be a cop with the knowledge that they'll be branded a racist murderer at the outset?

00:11:31.920 And if they ever have to use deadly force, God forbid, they may well go to prison for it, whether it was justified or not.

00:11:37.160 And even if they don't go to prison for it, their life's going to be ruined.

00:11:39.280 And three, I think the final factor we should note, this is nothing new, but we should mention, combined with these other ingredients, there is the general lack of meaning and purpose among so many in our civilization.

00:11:54.540 As the flight from God and religion, theistic religion, anyway, continues. 0.96

00:11:59.860 So, we have a society of people already in despair, many of them, from their sense of meaninglessness, who are then torn out of their normal lives by the lockdown, which was unnecessary.

00:12:12.460 And at the same time, the structures of authority are destabilized.

00:12:18.320 Mix all that together, pour it in a pan, stick it in the oven, and this is what you cook up.

00:12:25.300 What's the good news?

00:12:27.420 Well, that was really the end of what I had to say.

00:12:29.240 I don't have any good news.

00:12:30.460 That's it.

00:12:31.480 But I will say this.

00:12:33.440 One thing you can do, get out of the cities.

00:12:36.760 That's for sure.

00:12:38.080 Move to the country.

00:12:40.280 That's where you need to be.

00:12:41.800 Let's get now to our five headlines.

00:12:49.100 Well, I don't know about you.

00:12:50.320 I think about the things I love doing during the summer.

00:12:54.900 I do.

00:12:55.900 It is nice to be inside air conditioning as much as possible, especially down here in Tennessee, where the humidity is like walking into a brick wall.

00:13:02.040 But if I'm going to be inside in the air conditioning, I don't want to be walking around an auto parts store.

00:13:06.040 That's not where I want to be inside my own house.

00:13:07.980 And the great thing about Rock Auto is if I need auto parts, I can sit in the comfort of my own home and just pull out my phone, get on my laptop, and find all the parts I need.

00:13:17.020 I don't need to walk aimlessly around that auto parts store, ask all these questions about my car.

00:13:21.860 I can't answer any of them because I don't know a lot about cars.

00:13:25.940 And then I get upset.

00:13:26.780 I start crying and I run out of the store.

00:13:28.060 It's happened so many times.

00:13:29.380 I'm sure it's happened to you.

00:13:30.720 And that's why you need Rock Auto.

00:13:32.020 For a lot of other reasons, too.

00:13:33.120 Because they offer the lowest prices possible.

00:13:35.240 They're not changing the prices.

00:13:36.480 They're not going to try to get as much money as they can out of you.

00:13:39.360 If you get it there, it's the lowest price possible.

00:13:41.900 They're a family business, an honest business.

00:13:43.620 They've been serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.

00:13:46.580 You can go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.

00:13:50.660 The catalog is unique and very easy to navigate.

00:13:53.400 So if you want to experience it for yourself, go to rockauto.com right now.

00:13:57.140 See all the parts available for your car or truck.

00:13:59.020 And as always, remember to write Walsh in there.

00:14:00.520 How did you hear about this box?

00:14:01.400 So they know that we sent you.

00:14:03.400 All right, so staying on the bad news, which could really be the name of the show, I guess.

00:14:13.040 The bad news with Matt Walsh.

00:14:14.320 Why didn't we think of that?

00:14:15.920 It's just coming to me now.

00:14:19.220 Anyway, it's probably a little bit hard to market.

00:14:22.020 So let's go here.

00:14:23.100 Joe Biden is getting ready for his talk with Putin.

00:14:26.920 And he was asked by a reporter what he plans to say to Putin.

00:14:32.860 And I want to show you his response.

00:14:35.440 Now, we've seen a lot of this kind of thing from Joe Biden.

00:14:42.680 There's sort of nothing new about it.

00:14:45.800 And we get so used to it that you think, oh, there's old Joe Biden again having a brain fart.

00:14:52.160 No, this is not a brain fart, okay? 0.96

00:14:54.620 This is someone who's losing their mind, experiencing mental decay in front of cameras, in front of the whole world. 0.93

00:15:05.720 And it's bad and embarrassing.

00:15:09.380 But let's watch it, first of all.

00:15:11.060 The answer to the first question?

00:15:17.040 I'm laughing, too.

00:15:18.940 They actually, well, look.

00:15:22.920 I mean, he has made clear that the answer is I believe he has in the past essentially acknowledged that he was there are certain things that he would do or did do.

00:15:44.700 What was that?

00:15:47.320 I don't even understand the answer.

00:15:51.040 In the past, he's acknowledged that there were certain things he would do or did do.

00:15:58.180 Okay.

00:16:02.200 What is would do in the past?

00:16:04.660 What does that mean?

00:16:05.060 Well, there's no point in trying to dissect this or get into it.

00:16:07.820 This is, again, someone who's experiencing rapid, rapid mental decline in front of the entire world.

00:16:16.160 I think at this point, it's been very obvious all along, but now it seems all but certain that Joe Biden most likely is not going to be the president when we get to 2024.

00:16:32.880 I mean, not even voting out of office, but he's not going to be the guy.

00:16:36.740 It's going to be Kamala Harris by the time we get there.

00:16:41.260 Now, it's really just a question of when.

00:16:44.280 There's two questions now.

00:16:47.840 When does this official transition of power happen and how does it happen?

00:16:53.800 We're going to find out.

00:16:54.840 You know, and when it gets to the point where Joe Biden is completely unable to fulfill the duties of the presidency, you could argue he's at that point right now.

00:17:08.760 But we don't, that's the thing.

00:17:12.260 We don't really know how bad it actually is at this point.

00:17:15.400 We know, what we know right now is that in front of cameras, he loses his train of thought a lot and then he starts babbling incoherently.

00:17:22.160 And that's pretty disturbing and that's troubling.

00:17:24.880 But what is it like behind the scenes?

00:17:29.780 When he's not in front of cameras, when he's sitting in the Oval Office, can he basically, does he basically have his wits about him?

00:17:37.380 It's possible.

00:17:37.980 But the point is, we're not necessarily going to know.

00:17:44.420 There's a line, we don't know where the line is, where he is no longer able to fulfill the duties of the presidency.

00:17:52.740 Where is that line?

00:17:54.200 When does he cross it?

00:17:55.420 Has he already crossed it?

00:17:57.980 And will we be told when he crosses it?

00:18:03.360 This is a full-on constitutional crisis that we're looking at, potentially.

00:18:06.760 We may already be in one.

00:18:09.840 And what makes this so frustrating is just like the consequences of the lockdown, this was so foreseeable.

00:18:17.320 Of course this is going to happen when you elect a 78-year-old man who's already in cognitive decline.

00:18:25.300 And then you take him and you put him in the most stressful job on earth.

00:18:30.180 Unfortunately, most of us have, because Alzheimer's is so common, dementia is so common, most of us have had experience with seeing this with loved ones.

00:18:43.900 And so you know, if you have, say, your grandfather or grandmother who went through this, you know how quickly.

00:18:49.320 You start seeing the warning signs, and then it's kind of like they're gradually headed to this cliff, and then they fall off the cliff.

00:18:56.900 And it happens very fast.

00:18:58.680 And you know, that happens when your grandfather or your grandmother is retired.

00:19:03.200 And they're sitting at home all day, playing with the grandkids, relatively stress-free life.

00:19:12.560 Still, the decline is exponential until you fall off the cliff.

00:19:17.700 And it's like they just aren't even there anymore.

00:19:19.680 And it's very sad.

00:19:20.380 Okay, so we know that happens exponentially with a retired person in a stress-free life.

00:19:26.780 What about when you put them in one of the most physically and mentally demanding jobs on the planet?

00:19:33.980 And also one of the most consequential and important jobs on the planet.

00:19:39.560 It's just crazy.

00:19:43.300 We knew this was going to happen.

00:19:44.820 Of course it's going to happen.

00:19:45.880 And even a lot of, even plenty of conservatives who are Biden critics.

00:19:53.460 I've been making this point all along.

00:19:55.240 I'm certainly not the only one.

00:19:56.820 But those of us who have been making this point about Joe Biden, that he's too old.

00:20:01.220 I can only speak for myself, but I heard from a lot of even conservatives saying,

00:20:06.380 yeah, you know, I don't like Joe Biden, but that's not the reason.

00:20:10.260 That's not the reason not to vote for him.

00:20:11.840 Let's not be ageist.

00:20:14.280 Okay?

00:20:14.560 Hey, my grandmother is 85 and she's sharp as a tack.

00:20:19.180 A lot of that kind of nonsense.

00:20:21.880 Yeah, you're right that there are a lot of other reasons not to vote for Joe Biden.

00:20:25.780 But actually, you didn't really need any other reasons.

00:20:30.100 Because the fact that he's 78 is reason enough.

00:20:34.460 You simply should not be electing 78-year-olds to the presidency, and we should never do this again.

00:20:40.020 It's embarrassing.

00:20:42.140 It's humiliating.

00:20:43.640 It's catastrophic.

00:20:45.640 You're asking for a crisis on 10 different levels, and you're going to get it.

00:20:52.820 There are realities.

00:20:55.200 I don't want to hear any of this.

00:20:56.740 It's ageism. 1.00

00:20:57.880 Oh, shut up. 0.99

00:20:58.500 It's not ageism to acknowledge the reality of age. 0.98

00:21:04.180 It's not ageist to simply notice that age exists, and there are certain realities that come with it because we are mortal creatures living in a physical frame that deteriorates over time.

00:21:16.700 I know it's not fun to think about.

00:21:17.940 Nobody likes to think about it, but it's true. 0.98

00:21:19.400 Your 85-year-old grandmother is sharp as a tack for an 85-year-old. 0.97

00:21:25.560 Not in general.

00:21:26.420 She's not as sharp as she was when she was 45.

00:21:28.580 She wasn't.

00:21:29.200 She's not.

00:21:30.080 Nobody is.

00:21:31.680 Unless you're telling me she's literally superhuman. 0.99

00:21:36.420 Bring her to a—we've got to discover.

00:21:38.300 She's discovered the elixir of immortality. 0.99

00:21:40.480 Bring her to a lab somewhere. 0.96

00:21:41.600 Maybe we can figure out what's going on.

00:21:44.520 Aside from that, she may be sharp as a tack for an 85-year-old.

00:21:49.400 That doesn't mean that at her age, she is suited to do one of the most stressful and important jobs on planet Earth.

00:21:57.620 Okay?

00:21:59.400 Sharp as a tack for an 85-year-old means that they can hold a conversation and, you know, they can play with the grandkids and all that kind of stuff, which is great.

00:22:06.480 I hope that I can do all that when I'm 85.

00:22:09.200 I hope I'm still alive when I'm 85.

00:22:13.720 That doesn't mean you put them in the Oval Office.

00:22:15.900 We shouldn't—after 80.

00:22:19.400 We shouldn't even have to talk about whether 80-year-olds should be president.

00:22:23.160 Of course not.

00:22:25.360 80-year-olds shouldn't even be driving. 0.98

00:22:28.540 Okay, in a sane society, you wouldn't have that.

00:22:34.780 This is—we cannot—can we all—and I know we can't agree to it because that's the other frustrating thing.

00:22:40.100 We should, after this experience, we should all be able to agree.

00:22:44.200 We're never doing this again.

00:22:45.940 We're not going to elect a 78-year-old. 0.90

00:22:49.740 Nobody should turn 80 in the Oval Office.

00:22:53.660 Nobody.

00:22:54.060 I wish we could agree.

00:22:58.360 We could make a pinky promise with each other, but we can't.

00:23:03.840 Can we?

00:23:05.860 Because, you know, the elephant in the room here is that I say we shouldn't elect a 78-year-old to the presidency ever again.

00:23:13.240 I mean it, but Donald Trump will be 78 in 2024.

00:23:17.500 Am I applying this to him?

00:23:20.200 Yes, absolutely, because he is also a mortal creature who is susceptible to physical and mental decline, like anybody is.

00:23:31.620 All right.

00:23:33.300 Let's go to number two from the Daily Wire.

00:23:36.160 Reading now, it says,

00:23:37.000 California gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner slammed late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after he called Jenner Trump in a wig.

00:23:44.900 During his show on Thursday night, Kimmel celebrated the end of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which ran for 20 seasons across 14 years and inspired 10 spinoffs.

00:23:51.880 10 spinoffs?

00:23:53.840 Of Keeping Up with the Kardashians?

00:23:57.180 I didn't even know there was one.

00:23:58.740 There's 10?

00:24:01.240 My lord.

00:24:02.260 Kimmel said—

00:24:03.240 Anyway, I'm not going to repeat his jokes because it's not even really funny.

00:24:06.260 But then he made a joke that Caitlyn Jenner is Donald Trump in a wig.

00:24:11.720 And then there was some outrage about that, but not from the left, of course.

00:24:17.420 It was from the right.

00:24:19.320 And Jenner called out Kimmel, the left, and the LGBT community on Twitter.

00:24:23.280 On Friday, he tweeted, quote,

00:24:25.040 Last night, Jimmy Kimmel called me Donald Trump with a wig.

00:24:28.300 He obviously believes that trans women are simply men with wigs on.

00:24:31.480 And, well, where's the outrage from the left or LGBT community?

00:24:37.600 Being woke must be optional if you're a Democrat.

00:24:41.000 And, of course, there are, as I said, plenty of people on the right jumping on this bandwagon and saying,

00:24:46.720 Oh, where's—this is transphobia.

00:24:48.620 Where's the outrage from the left?

00:24:50.360 Where's the outrage? 0.69

00:24:51.160 And, yes, okay, it is hypocrisy.

00:24:58.480 Of course it is.

00:24:59.980 We all understand that.

00:25:01.280 If Jimmy Kimmel had made this joke about any other trans person that I can even think of,

00:25:11.660 because all the other ones that come to mind are on the left,

00:25:16.600 any other, you know, prominent trans person in the public eye, or not prominent,

00:25:20.980 if he had chosen any other target for that joke who's transgender and it's not Caitlyn Jenner,

00:25:27.040 yes, there would be tremendous outrage on the left, and he would be—

00:25:31.640 well, the joke never would have been made in the first place, so we don't have to think about it,

00:25:34.620 but if somehow it was, then there would be tremendous outrage,

00:25:37.940 and he'd be forced to issue an apology and all the rest of it.

00:25:41.760 Calling a quote-unquote trans woman a man in a wig,

00:25:48.280 yes, from the left in every other circumstance,

00:25:51.760 they're going to call that blatant transphobia, and it's unacceptable, and it's probably a hate crime.

00:25:58.040 However, does that mean that we on the right should jump on this bandwagon and say,

00:26:06.780 hey, this is transphobia?

00:26:10.240 We're outraged by it. Why aren't you?

00:26:13.520 You guys are the real transphobes.

00:26:16.080 Should we be doing that? Should we do that whole routine?

00:26:18.640 The answer is no, we shouldn't, and I'll tell you why.

00:26:21.280 Two reasons. Number one, and this is something we all need to try to understand and keep in mind,

00:26:27.040 the left, they don't care about their hypocrisy.

00:26:32.360 Not only do they not care about it, but it's the point. 0.97

00:26:36.860 The hypocrisy is the point.

00:26:38.900 Because that shows their cultural power.

00:26:43.360 What they're saying is, we make the rules.

00:26:46.620 Yeah, obviously the rules don't apply to us like they do to you.

00:26:49.940 Thanks for noticing.

00:26:51.900 We're the ones in charge.

00:26:53.400 Clearly, we don't care in general about quote-unquote transphobia.

00:27:00.940 This is a tool that we use to bludgeon our opponents.

00:27:05.220 You're our opponents.

00:27:06.560 We're not going to bludgeon ourselves with the tool.

00:27:10.220 The left, they will all but come out and say that.

00:27:13.160 It's clearly their strategy.

00:27:16.780 So by pointing out, by merely pointing out the hypocrisy in this way,

00:27:20.060 it doesn't achieve much because it, yeah, we all know it, but they know it too.

00:27:26.560 And so what's the point?

00:27:29.240 The hypocrisy is the point.

00:27:31.900 Because it's all about power. 0.94

00:27:33.280 That's the first problem with the Democrats are the real transphobe thing.

00:27:39.600 The second is that in order to criticize the left on their own grounds, right,

00:27:48.280 by throwing their own labels back at them.

00:27:51.540 And I understand the temptation to do this because you're saying,

00:27:53.920 well, yeah, we're going to make them take a dose of their own medicine. 1.00

00:27:57.840 We're going to hold them to their own standard and all this kind of stuff.

00:28:00.220 But the problem is that to criticize them on their terms,

00:28:05.320 not only is it ineffectual because they don't care,

00:28:08.160 but also it requires you to adopt their presuppositions.

00:28:14.760 By criticizing them on their terms, they've already won

00:28:18.320 because you're agreeing with them.

00:28:21.740 So the left, when they hear people on the right,

00:28:25.880 non-ironically using the term transphobia,

00:28:30.220 the left, they can sit back and say, 1.00

00:28:32.320 well, our work here is done, you suckers. 0.99

00:28:36.740 You think when you start calling them transphobes, 0.98

00:28:39.100 they're cowering in fear?

00:28:41.300 Oh, no, they're calling us transphobes.

00:28:42.660 What will we do?

00:28:43.640 We've been defeated.

00:28:45.480 We've been bested at our own game.

00:28:47.520 Oh, drat.

00:28:48.880 We would have got away with it too. 1.00

00:28:51.900 If not for you darn kids. 1.00

00:28:54.320 No, not at all. 1.00

00:28:56.080 They're saying, okay, thank you.

00:28:58.440 Thanks for agreeing with us.

00:29:02.260 By using a term like transphobia, you're agreeing with them. 1.00

00:29:05.120 You're ceding the point.

00:29:06.420 You're surrendering the ground.

00:29:08.200 You're adopting their philosophical presuppositions.

00:29:14.380 On the right, what we should know is that, first of all,

00:29:17.040 transphobia is not a thing.

00:29:19.760 I'm not going to accuse anyone of being a transphobe.

00:29:22.000 That's not a thing.

00:29:24.280 Phobe is fear.

00:29:25.160 No one's afraid of trans people.

00:29:28.920 The people like myself who are critical of the concept of transgenderism,

00:29:34.040 it's not out of fear.

00:29:35.640 It's out of an understanding of science and logic.

00:29:38.020 It's a logical criticism, not a fear-based one.

00:29:41.580 And also, frankly, observing that a male with long hair is not a woman,

00:29:55.600 that's not bigotry.

00:29:58.560 Even if it's hypocritical coming from Jimmy Kimmel, it's still not bigotry.

00:30:02.980 And so I'm not going to say that it is.

00:30:06.280 Even in an attempt to score a point against Jimmy Kimmel,

00:30:08.360 because you're not going to score the point anyway.

00:30:09.580 All right, let's move on to Anna Navarro.

00:30:15.520 Okay, we've got to play this.

00:30:16.440 Anna Navarro on The View yesterday was offering a defense of, 0.99

00:30:19.460 speaking of double standards, here we go,

00:30:21.420 was offering a defense of Jeffrey Toobin 0.96

00:30:23.560 masturbating in front of his coworkers.

00:30:28.840 And there's no way to really set this up.

00:30:30.640 We just have to listen and gawk in amazement

00:30:33.380 at this rationalization.

00:30:36.080 Are you surprised to see him back on the air?

00:30:40.540 You know, actually, I'm not surprised he's back on the air,

00:30:43.940 but I will tell you, when I saw that interview,

00:30:46.560 oh, God, how embarrassing, how humiliating.

00:30:49.620 I kept thinking to myself,

00:30:51.120 if I have to go on live TV

00:30:53.840 and explain to the nation 0.98

00:30:55.640 why I masturbated on a Zoom call, 0.98

00:30:57.600 I think I'd rather go sell avocados under I-95 0.97

00:31:00.520 than get my job back on TV.

00:31:03.720 Look, I think some instances of sexual harassment

00:31:08.100 are black and white.

00:31:09.420 Some instances are more nuanced.

00:31:13.160 In this case, he was not sexually harassing anybody.

00:31:16.780 He didn't have the intent to sexually harass somebody.

00:31:19.560 He was sexually harassing himself, maybe.

00:31:22.620 Okay, he was on a Zoom call.

00:31:24.720 It was an accidental exposure.

00:31:27.320 It was not a CNN Zoom call.

00:31:29.840 It was with the New Yorker 0.70

00:31:30.800 from where he has been terminated

00:31:32.640 and faced consequences.

00:31:34.500 He was off CNN for many months

00:31:36.580 during the elections,

00:31:38.400 during some of the hottest political and legal times.

00:31:41.860 CNN is a for-profit business.

00:31:43.860 If viewers don't like it,

00:31:45.420 then they should make their views known.

00:31:47.460 If they want to have some grace,

00:31:49.060 if they want to say,

00:31:49.860 we're not going to cancel a guy 1.00

00:31:51.220 because he made a stupid mistake, 1.00

00:31:54.260 I think his bigger problem is frankly with himself, 1.00

00:31:59.160 with his family, with his wife,

00:32:01.320 than it is with his CNN colleagues

00:32:04.600 because it was not something that was done to us.

00:32:09.960 More nuanced.

00:32:12.200 This is not black and white sexual harassment, okay?

00:32:19.120 Black and white sexual harassment is, 0.81

00:32:21.180 you want to talk about black and white,

00:32:22.180 straight forward.

00:32:23.020 That's like a male co-worker 0.99

00:32:26.100 tells a female co-worker

00:32:28.360 that she looks nice in that dress.

00:32:30.280 That's straight forward.

00:32:31.480 No nuance there, okay?

00:32:33.160 That right there.

00:32:34.120 Now, you want to know

00:32:35.060 that's Me Too movement material.

00:32:38.080 That's someone who needs to be fired, 0.68

00:32:39.180 probably arrested,

00:32:41.100 put them in,

00:32:41.520 send them down to Gitmo.

00:32:42.400 But, yeah,

00:32:45.760 there are more nuanced situations 0.80

00:32:49.180 like a guy masturbating 0.79

00:32:51.040 in front of his co-workers. 1.00

00:32:52.500 Now, if he were to compliment her on her dress,

00:32:54.780 again, straightforward, 0.99

00:32:56.960 but masturbating in front of her, 1.00

00:32:58.660 okay, see, 0.99

00:32:59.320 now we're getting into the nuances

00:33:01.380 and it's just,

00:33:03.140 it's hard.

00:33:03.880 Can you condemn it?

00:33:05.140 Can you,

00:33:06.300 can we cast dispersions? 0.99

00:33:07.920 Let he who has not masturbated 0.90

00:33:11.660 in front of co-workers 0.96

00:33:12.600 cast the first stone.

00:33:16.220 Then she just gets pelted 0.98

00:33:17.380 by a million stones.

00:33:19.460 Yeah, this is 0.99

00:33:20.580 obviously ridiculous. 0.96

00:33:24.800 I just talked about 0.96

00:33:25.780 the fruitlessness

00:33:26.820 of pointing out double standards,

00:33:28.360 so

00:33:28.540 I'm not going to have

00:33:30.200 my own double standard

00:33:31.140 by doing the same here.

00:33:33.260 Now we've got double standards

00:33:33.880 all over the place.

00:33:35.120 It's like an inception situation

00:33:36.340 with double standards.

00:33:37.920 But

00:33:38.140 you can't

00:33:39.980 gloss over

00:33:40.940 this.

00:33:43.000 The most

00:33:43.900 straightforward

00:33:44.720 form of sexual harassment

00:33:46.620 I would think

00:33:47.540 is what Jeffrey Toobin did.

00:33:49.600 It's the most

00:33:50.320 black and white

00:33:51.420 sexual harassment 0.93

00:33:53.260 that one can imagine

00:33:54.620 and I'd rather not imagine it.

00:33:58.700 I have to

00:33:59.580 underscore the point again

00:34:02.560 because there's some

00:34:04.980 gaslighting going on here

00:34:07.680 to use a favorite

00:34:08.780 phrase of the left.

00:34:10.840 There's some gaslighting

00:34:11.720 going on when they talk

00:34:12.740 about the Jeffrey Toobin thing

00:34:13.660 because they keep saying

00:34:15.880 it was an accident.

00:34:18.020 He didn't mean to.

00:34:20.860 Well, what part of it

00:34:22.520 was an accident?

00:34:24.520 The part where he

00:34:25.760 took off his pants

00:34:27.660 and I'm not going to go

00:34:28.360 into all the details,

00:34:29.140 but you know,

00:34:29.640 that whole process,

00:34:30.560 that was not an accident.

00:34:33.440 I mean,

00:34:33.600 what does he have?

00:34:34.000 Some sort of 0.99

00:34:34.340 masturbatory 0.94

00:34:35.140 Tourette syndrome

00:34:36.200 where he just,

00:34:36.800 he can't stop himself?

00:34:38.680 No, so that part

00:34:39.580 was purposeful.

00:34:42.420 What part was

00:34:43.040 unpurposeful?

00:34:43.760 That he didn't know

00:34:44.440 his camera was on.

00:34:45.120 Okay, so that's

00:34:45.820 the unpurposeful part.

00:34:46.560 But the other

00:34:47.400 purposeful part

00:34:48.280 is he was doing this

00:34:50.180 during a meeting

00:34:51.820 with his coworkers.

00:34:54.140 They were on the screen.

00:34:56.260 I don't want to speculate.

00:34:58.720 Okay, the last thing

00:34:59.300 I want to do is,

00:35:00.360 is try to walk a mile

00:35:03.880 in Jeffrey Toobin's

00:35:05.440 messy shoes

00:35:05.980 and to understand

00:35:06.960 exactly where he was

00:35:07.660 coming from.

00:35:09.420 But,

00:35:10.160 there's going to,

00:35:12.540 no pun intended there.

00:35:13.400 but,

00:35:15.700 however,

00:35:16.940 it seems to me

00:35:17.980 that he was

00:35:18.660 doing this

00:35:19.620 during a meeting

00:35:21.040 with his coworkers

00:35:22.280 and they were up

00:35:23.280 on the screen.

00:35:23.980 So it seems like

00:35:24.820 he was,

00:35:26.100 I don't know,

00:35:26.820 watching them

00:35:27.620 while doing this.

00:35:29.520 All of that

00:35:30.240 was intentional.

00:35:32.080 He just didn't want them

00:35:33.080 to know he was doing it.

00:35:38.340 And so,

00:35:39.040 because of that,

00:35:41.040 the whole thing's

00:35:41.620 an accident?

00:35:42.000 This is like

00:35:43.720 if a guy,

00:35:44.240 it's like,

00:35:44.620 what if Jeffrey Toobin

00:35:45.640 was outside of

00:35:47.080 one of his coworkers'

00:35:48.260 window at night,

00:35:49.620 peering through the bushes?

00:35:51.700 And then,

00:35:52.280 and then Anna Navarro

00:35:53.260 would say,

00:35:53.600 it was an accident.

00:35:54.420 He didn't,

00:35:54.820 I don't know,

00:35:55.320 he didn't know,

00:35:56.240 he didn't mean

00:35:56.860 to be caught.

00:36:01.160 That's the distinction.

00:36:02.340 The camera being on,

00:36:03.300 that's him being caught.

00:36:06.280 All right.

00:36:07.380 I've said far too much.

00:36:08.940 Now we're going to hear

00:36:09.620 from a new sponsor

00:36:11.000 if we're excited about

00:36:11.760 on the show,

00:36:12.480 myphoto.com.

00:36:14.760 After a tough year,

00:36:15.880 people are together again.

00:36:16.900 They're taking a lot of photos.

00:36:20.120 In my case,

00:36:21.520 in my family,

00:36:22.800 it's,

00:36:23.100 we've been taking

00:36:23.920 a lot of photos all along.

00:36:25.000 I don't really take the photos,

00:36:26.160 but my wife is the photo taker. 1.00

00:36:27.920 No matter what we're doing,

00:36:28.760 she's always saying

00:36:29.320 we've got to take the picture.

00:36:30.140 Well, here's the problem.

00:36:31.780 You take a picture

00:36:32.580 and then it's just on your phone

00:36:34.140 and you forget about it,

00:36:35.240 right?

00:36:36.460 What you need to do

00:36:37.300 is take that picture

00:36:37.920 and make it physical.

00:36:39.280 And that's what

00:36:39.660 myphoto is all about.

00:36:41.180 It's awesome

00:36:41.880 and it's easy to use.

00:36:42.800 It takes literally

00:36:43.380 two minutes

00:36:43.880 to create a special product

00:36:44.920 for your own wall

00:36:45.880 or shelf or wherever

00:36:46.800 and then make great gifts

00:36:47.940 for loved ones.

00:36:48.980 Myphoto prints your image

00:36:50.160 directly on acrylic,

00:36:51.680 glass, metal,

00:36:52.360 and more.

00:36:53.420 Don't just have all those photos

00:36:54.520 on your phone

00:36:56.040 stored away somewhere.

00:36:57.680 Make them into

00:36:58.540 an actual physical photograph,

00:37:00.320 kids.

00:37:00.520 That's what we used to have

00:37:01.320 back in the day.

00:37:20.060 Let's move on

00:37:20.920 to reading

00:37:22.800 the YouTube comments.

00:37:26.360 Okay.

00:37:27.040 This is from Big Mac.

00:37:30.160 Says,

00:37:30.680 Matt,

00:37:30.920 would you rather eat

00:37:32.060 at Burger King

00:37:33.280 or at the soup kitchen

00:37:34.240 Jeffrey Toobin volunteers at?

00:37:35.960 Well,

00:37:36.240 I just said I wanted

00:37:37.120 to move on,

00:37:37.720 but I imagine

00:37:39.420 the problem you'd have

00:37:40.440 with Jeffrey Toobin

00:37:41.160 serving you

00:37:41.740 is

00:37:42.240 not dissimilar

00:37:46.520 from the kind

00:37:47.320 of problem

00:37:47.840 you might have

00:37:50.200 being served

00:37:51.860 at a Burger King.

00:37:54.840 So it's kind of a wash.

00:37:57.260 Frederick Lancelot says,

00:37:58.820 Matt,

00:37:59.120 can we get a tie-dye Tuesday?

00:38:00.740 It's what the people want.

00:38:01.660 No.

00:38:02.300 And you're banned.

00:38:03.100 And nobody wants that

00:38:04.180 except for you. 0.95

00:38:05.120 You freak.

00:38:06.700 But thanks for watching.

00:38:08.360 Molly says,

00:38:09.120 Matt,

00:38:09.500 kids are being taught

00:38:10.640 that slavery is okay 0.98

00:38:11.680 as long as it's

00:38:12.500 through communism.

00:38:14.220 Very good point.

00:38:15.100 And you are correct

00:38:16.200 about that.

00:38:17.920 Another comment says,

00:38:18.540 Matt,

00:38:18.740 do you think

00:38:19.040 the ghost of Abuela

00:38:20.020 will haunt AOC

00:38:21.160 after Abuela dies?

00:38:23.400 Well,

00:38:23.860 the last thing

00:38:24.220 I want to do

00:38:24.620 is think about

00:38:25.440 such an eventuality.

00:38:27.500 But what I will say

00:38:29.340 is that I would

00:38:30.220 if I were

00:38:31.280 Abuela

00:38:32.120 in that scenario.

00:38:35.420 Jay Moran says,

00:38:37.180 you ever notice

00:38:38.040 the people who drone

00:38:38.860 on and on about slavery

00:38:39.940 always leave out

00:38:40.940 the part

00:38:41.340 where we abolished it?

00:38:43.600 Yeah,

00:38:44.080 they leave it out

00:38:44.780 or they especially

00:38:46.220 leave out

00:38:46.960 the little detail

00:38:47.920 how the United States

00:38:49.380 is abolished slavery

00:38:53.740 quicker than

00:38:54.640 almost any other country.

00:38:57.500 We abolished slavery 0.97

00:39:00.520 in about 90 years or so.

00:39:02.080 Less than a century

00:39:03.120 we abolished it.

00:39:04.800 A century from

00:39:05.600 the United States

00:39:06.320 forming as a country,

00:39:09.000 you go from there

00:39:09.820 to the abolition

00:39:11.160 of slavery

00:39:11.720 and you've got

00:39:12.500 less than a century.

00:39:16.240 Meanwhile,

00:39:17.200 you've got

00:39:17.620 other countries

00:39:18.660 across the world

00:39:19.500 that practiced

00:39:22.020 slavery for thousands

00:39:22.920 of years.

00:39:25.100 And some still do

00:39:26.620 in effect.

00:39:27.500 slavery is

00:39:30.180 technically abolished

00:39:31.560 and illegal

00:39:32.160 at this point

00:39:33.180 everywhere.

00:39:34.720 Although it's still

00:39:35.540 practiced in a lot

00:39:36.360 of places

00:39:36.800 if not legally.

00:39:38.940 But it wasn't

00:39:39.880 even abolished

00:39:40.720 legally

00:39:41.320 in some places

00:39:43.080 until

00:39:43.660 the last

00:39:45.220 several decades.

00:39:47.940 And those places

00:39:48.900 are not western countries

00:39:49.920 I have to tell you.

00:39:50.500 Oluska says,

00:39:55.920 I will not write

00:39:56.580 more comments.

00:39:57.380 I don't think

00:39:57.740 Matt reads them.

00:39:58.600 You're right.

00:39:58.960 I don't read them

00:39:59.400 at all.

00:40:02.320 Olive says, 0.76

00:40:03.380 Matt Walsh's

00:40:04.260 sarcasm

00:40:04.880 is to hide

00:40:05.480 the fact

00:40:05.860 that he has

00:40:06.220 a massive

00:40:06.780 caring heart.

00:40:09.180 No,

00:40:09.500 no it's not.

00:40:10.720 And Reagan says,

00:40:11.300 Matt was far

00:40:11.980 too nice

00:40:12.400 in understanding

00:40:12.960 this episode.

00:40:13.540 I almost believe

00:40:14.080 he has feelings.

00:40:14.760 What's going on here?

00:40:16.420 My brand

00:40:17.140 has been damaged.

00:40:18.260 These are all lies

00:40:19.040 by the way.

00:40:20.920 There were several

00:40:21.500 comments like this

00:40:22.060 accusing me of being

00:40:22.720 nice and caring

00:40:23.440 yesterday.

00:40:24.700 When was the

00:40:27.220 nice and caring part?

00:40:29.160 That's why I had

00:40:29.640 to be even more

00:40:30.220 aggressive

00:40:30.640 and

00:40:31.300 depressing

00:40:35.460 this episode

00:40:36.080 just to

00:40:36.580 kind of

00:40:37.080 even things out

00:40:37.900 again

00:40:38.160 and maintain

00:40:39.660 my reputation.

00:40:42.260 And finally,

00:40:42.900 Mason says,

00:40:43.440 it's funny

00:40:43.780 that no one

00:40:44.240 talks about

00:40:44.680 how the Irish

00:40:45.280 were oppressed.

00:40:46.740 Well,

00:40:47.040 Mason,

00:40:47.260 that's not possible.

00:40:48.200 I don't know

00:40:48.400 what you mean

00:40:48.740 the Irish

00:40:49.120 were oppressed.

00:40:50.660 Irish aren't 1.00

00:40:51.100 black,

00:40:51.440 are they?

00:40:51.860 They're white, 0.98

00:40:52.380 aren't they?

00:40:54.220 White people 0.99

00:40:54.720 can't experience 0.99

00:40:55.280 oppression.

00:40:57.220 Critical race

00:40:57.860 theory taught

00:40:58.220 me that.

00:40:58.740 So,

00:40:58.940 I don't know

00:40:59.160 what you

00:41:00.060 could possibly

00:41:00.500 be talking

00:41:00.840 about.

00:41:01.620 After a year

00:41:02.260 of lockdowns,

00:41:02.980 it's become,

00:41:03.520 I think,

00:41:03.820 fairly clear

00:41:04.540 that our

00:41:04.860 leaders want

00:41:05.380 nothing more

00:41:05.900 than to

00:41:06.460 control us.

00:41:07.660 I would know

00:41:08.480 because if I

00:41:09.440 was a

00:41:10.120 tyrannical dictator,

00:41:11.100 I'd do the 0.97

00:41:11.620 exact same thing

00:41:12.320 except I would

00:41:12.880 be controlling

00:41:13.420 you for your

00:41:14.840 own good.

00:41:15.540 That's the

00:41:15.980 difference,

00:41:16.900 right?

00:41:17.120 Oh no,

00:41:17.600 wait,

00:41:17.720 that's exactly

00:41:18.240 what all

00:41:18.620 tyrants say.

00:41:19.380 Okay,

00:41:19.580 well,

00:41:20.400 but because I'm

00:41:21.220 not,

00:41:21.720 I do enjoy

00:41:23.140 our freedoms,

00:41:23.840 which is why

00:41:24.220 you need to

00:41:24.540 pick up Ben

00:41:25.200 Shapiro's new

00:41:25.940 book,

00:41:26.260 The Authoritarian

00:41:26.820 Moment.

00:41:27.580 Listen,

00:41:28.220 if a theocratic

00:41:28.920 fascist is

00:41:29.880 telling you to 0.68

00:41:30.300 pick up a book

00:41:30.920 criticizing

00:41:31.520 authoritarianism,

00:41:32.760 then you must

00:41:33.320 do it.

00:41:33.700 I mean,

00:41:34.120 you really must

00:41:34.640 do it because

00:41:34.900 I'm telling

00:41:35.180 you to do

00:41:35.480 it.

00:41:35.940 So if you

00:41:36.240 understand the

00:41:37.040 threat this

00:41:37.520 poses to our

00:41:37.960 future,

00:41:38.200 it's time to

00:41:38.620 read up on

00:41:39.600 the truth in

00:41:40.260 order to stand

00:41:40.760 up to the

00:41:41.080 woke.

00:41:41.300 The Authoritarian

00:41:41.780 Moment is now

00:41:42.420 available for

00:41:42.940 pre-order at

00:41:43.580 Amazon,

00:41:44.120 Barnes & Noble,

00:41:44.680 and any other

00:41:45.260 major bookseller.

00:41:46.640 Also,

00:41:46.960 I'll tell you

00:41:47.100 about something

00:41:47.360 else exciting

00:41:48.200 happening here

00:41:48.800 at The Daily

00:41:49.220 Wire.

00:41:50.460 We know that

00:41:50.860 leftism turns

00:41:51.660 men and women

00:41:52.520 into creatures

00:41:53.480 that resemble

00:41:54.000 addicts of

00:41:54.620 some sort,

00:41:55.220 blue hair,

00:41:56.000 gender

00:41:56.180 non-conforming,

00:41:56.780 whatever it may

00:41:57.200 be.

00:41:57.860 This is not the

00:41:58.820 exciting part.

00:42:03.700 That transformation

00:42:04.660 fully takes place

00:42:05.620 and sometimes

00:42:06.280 can become

00:42:06.660 permanent.

00:42:07.420 Georgia Howe is

00:42:08.480 one of those

00:42:08.940 people and now

00:42:09.580 she has a new

00:42:10.100 show at The

00:42:11.100 Daily Wire

00:42:11.520 called Office

00:42:12.240 Hours where

00:42:12.700 she interviews

00:42:13.200 various experts

00:42:14.040 about the

00:42:14.560 ideological

00:42:15.120 indoctrination

00:42:56.000 So we begin

00:42:56.780 our daily

00:42:57.060 cancellation today

00:42:57.620 with an account

00:42:58.300 on Twitter

00:42:58.740 called Astrologer

00:42:59.940 Six.

00:43:00.900 In her bio,

00:43:01.680 she describes

00:43:02.140 herself as an

00:43:02.920 Inclusive

00:43:03.520 Astrologer

00:43:04.440 Inclusive

00:43:05.060 and also an

00:43:06.280 Intimacy Doula.

00:43:08.300 Coincidentally,

00:43:08.740 I have both of

00:43:09.240 those titles listed

00:43:09.900 on my resume as

00:43:10.680 well.

00:43:11.240 But I fear that

00:43:11.740 she's making her 1.00

00:43:12.320 fellow inclusive

00:43:13.140 astrologers look

00:43:13.960 bad.

00:43:14.600 With this tweet,

00:43:15.700 she posted,

00:43:16.280 quote,

00:43:17.020 I finished a book

00:43:17.920 about how modern

00:43:18.740 dating is arguably

00:43:19.700 unpaid sex work

00:43:21.180 and woo, 0.99

00:43:21.940 woo,

00:43:22.280 woo.

00:43:23.780 I believe the

00:43:24.580 woos are meant 0.99

00:43:25.240 to signify approval.

00:43:27.440 It must be some

00:43:27.820 kind of technical

00:43:28.500 astrologer term.

00:43:29.720 I don't know.

00:43:30.460 As for the rest,

00:43:31.300 all I can say

00:43:31.740 is that the word

00:43:32.220 arguably is doing

00:43:33.460 a whole lot of

00:43:33.940 work in that

00:43:34.360 sentence.

00:43:35.340 She reveals in a

00:43:36.040 follow-up that the

00:43:36.780 name of the book

00:43:37.420 written by Maura

00:43:38.200 Weigel is titled

00:43:40.820 Labor of Love,

00:43:42.100 The Invention of

00:43:42.940 Dating.

00:43:44.040 And as far as I

00:43:44.580 could tell from my

00:43:45.140 extensive research,

00:43:46.000 which involved skimming

00:43:47.040 a summary of the book

00:43:47.860 for about 25 seconds,

00:43:49.540 it does indeed make

00:43:50.420 the case that the

00:43:51.980 inclusive astrologer

00:43:53.020 claims dating is

00:43:53.820 nothing but unpaid

00:43:54.900 prostitution.

00:43:55.520 And this is not 0.89

00:43:56.920 the only notable

00:43:57.700 bit of prostitution

00:43:58.800 related content

00:43:59.500 on Twitter this

00:44:00.140 week.

00:44:00.840 I also want to

00:44:01.300 mention this and

00:44:02.100 then I'll respond

00:44:02.860 to and cancel

00:44:03.480 both.

00:44:04.860 Naomi Sayers,

00:44:05.840 a lawyer,

00:44:06.620 though suspiciously

00:44:07.320 enough,

00:44:07.700 she fails to 0.97

00:44:08.280 specify whether

00:44:08.880 she's an 0.96

00:44:09.240 inclusive lawyer,

00:44:10.660 she tweeted

00:44:11.020 this,

00:44:11.800 unpopular opinion,

00:44:13.640 the best thing

00:44:14.740 young people can

00:44:15.580 do early in

00:44:16.280 their careers is

00:44:17.160 do sex work

00:44:17.960 on the side 0.92

00:44:18.580 because your

00:44:19.400 early career

00:44:19.980 prospects will

00:44:20.600 be unstable,

00:44:21.500 unpredictable,

00:44:22.200 low pay,

00:44:23.100 likely contract

00:44:23.800 work,

00:44:24.540 and very much

00:44:25.120 exploitative.

00:44:26.720 The best thing,

00:44:28.360 not an acceptable

00:44:29.480 thing or an

00:44:30.200 understandable thing,

00:44:31.700 and that would be

00:44:32.480 bad and wrong

00:44:33.160 enough.

00:44:34.040 The best thing,

00:44:35.480 she says.

00:44:36.700 And you'll notice

00:44:37.460 this is always the

00:44:38.400 flight path of

00:44:39.340 leftism, right?

00:44:40.860 First they argue

00:44:41.520 that some degenerate

00:44:42.540 activity is tolerable

00:44:43.640 and they simply

00:44:45.320 want you to

00:44:45.760 tolerate it and

00:44:46.400 put up with it

00:44:46.920 and let people do

00:44:47.480 what they want to

00:44:47.880 do in the privacy

00:44:48.480 of their own

00:44:48.840 homes or their

00:44:50.040 own seedy motel

00:44:51.320 rooms in this

00:44:51.760 case.

00:44:52.680 And then they

00:44:53.040 say,

00:44:53.620 no,

00:44:54.320 it's more

00:44:54.940 than tolerable,

00:44:55.600 it's a positive

00:44:56.280 good.

00:44:57.460 And then finally

00:44:58.220 they claim that

00:44:59.000 it's more than a

00:44:59.620 positive good,

00:45:00.180 it's the best

00:45:00.860 thing,

00:45:01.160 it's the ideal

00:45:01.940 thing.

00:45:03.940 Normalization is

00:45:04.540 never the final

00:45:05.240 goal.

00:45:05.800 Normalization is a

00:45:06.520 step towards

00:45:07.340 the goal.

00:45:09.000 They don't want

00:45:09.540 to make a bad

00:45:10.180 thing merely

00:45:10.860 normal,

00:45:11.440 they want to

00:45:11.720 make it

00:45:11.960 laudable,

00:45:12.740 virtuous.

00:45:14.260 We may not

00:45:14.940 be at that

00:45:15.360 point yet with

00:45:15.900 sex work,

00:45:17.020 where at least

00:45:18.680 we may not be

00:45:19.860 at the point yet

00:45:20.320 where most of

00:45:20.940 society views

00:45:21.800 quote unquote

00:45:22.260 sex work that 0.62

00:45:23.000 way,

00:45:23.360 but especially

00:45:24.280 with the advent

00:45:24.880 of OnlyFans

00:45:25.820 and the continued

00:45:26.720 proliferation of 0.94

00:45:27.480 online pornography,

00:45:28.360 we've probably

00:45:29.380 reached the

00:45:29.960 normalized phase

00:45:31.100 at least.

00:45:32.620 In fact,

00:45:32.900 the first hint

00:45:33.500 that they've

00:45:33.820 succeeded in

00:45:34.340 normalizing sex

00:45:35.200 work is the

00:45:35.700 fact that people

00:45:36.120 call it sex 0.58

00:45:36.880 work rather than 0.74

00:45:37.480 prostitution.

00:45:39.100 And by the way, 0.98

00:45:39.480 when we say

00:45:40.020 normalized,

00:45:41.000 we don't just

00:45:41.460 mean that a

00:45:41.940 certain sin is

00:45:43.160 normal in the

00:45:43.700 sense that lots

00:45:44.260 of people do

00:45:44.820 it.

00:45:45.600 I mean,

00:45:45.800 in that sense,

00:45:46.380 prostitution has

00:45:46.980 been normal since 0.53

00:45:47.840 time immemorial,

00:45:48.640 and all sin

00:45:51.060 has been normal

00:45:51.760 in that way,

00:45:52.460 in the sense

00:45:53.180 that people do

00:45:53.840 them.

00:45:54.580 What we mean is

00:45:55.260 normal in the

00:45:56.120 sense that society

00:45:57.260 doesn't look down

00:45:57.960 on it,

00:45:58.280 doesn't judge it,

00:45:59.600 doesn't view it

00:46:00.480 as especially

00:46:01.200 dirty or degraded.

00:46:03.060 And that's

00:46:03.660 probably where we

00:46:04.460 are with

00:46:04.740 prostitution.

00:46:05.780 And that's a 0.98

00:46:06.440 problem for

00:46:07.560 many reasons.

00:46:08.800 But two of

00:46:09.480 them are

00:46:09.700 illustrated quite

00:46:10.480 helpfully in

00:46:11.220 the tweets

00:46:11.540 already mentioned.

00:46:13.220 First, as the

00:46:14.020 inclusive astrologer,

00:46:15.040 or at least the

00:46:15.520 book she's reading,

00:46:16.240 says,

00:46:16.500 dating is 0.96

00:46:17.960 unpaid sex

00:46:18.760 work.

00:46:19.020 That's the

00:46:19.360 claim.

00:46:21.480 And this is the

00:46:22.180 kind of view that

00:46:22.960 you find once

00:46:23.800 quote-unquote

00:46:24.780 sex work

00:46:25.340 prostitution becomes

00:46:26.400 more and more 0.99

00:46:26.800 normalized, you

00:46:27.880 find these kinds

00:46:28.620 of things being

00:46:29.140 equated.

00:46:30.680 But saying that

00:46:31.220 dating is unpaid

00:46:32.060 sex work, it's 0.99

00:46:32.760 like saying that

00:46:33.640 parenting is

00:46:34.540 unpaid babysitting,

00:46:35.740 or it's like saying

00:46:36.260 that cooking a nice

00:46:37.300 meal for your

00:46:37.900 family is unpaid

00:46:39.020 restaurant work,

00:46:40.380 or having a

00:46:41.080 conversation with a

00:46:41.920 friend is like being

00:46:42.680 an unpaid podcast

00:46:44.260 co-host, I don't

00:46:44.940 know.

00:46:45.140 It turns all

00:46:46.880 forms of human

00:46:47.720 exchange into

00:46:48.500 business deals.

00:46:49.980 It makes all

00:46:50.860 relationships

00:46:51.420 transactional.

00:46:53.720 Naomi Sayers, the

00:46:54.560 lawyer, says that

00:46:55.240 the best thing a

00:46:56.520 young person can

00:46:57.180 do is sell their

00:46:58.580 bodies for money.

00:47:00.020 And she says this

00:47:00.780 is better than

00:47:01.360 other career

00:47:01.820 prospects because

00:47:02.720 those other

00:47:03.600 careers might be

00:47:04.560 unstable and

00:47:06.500 exploitative.

00:47:08.280 Of course, the

00:47:08.980 obvious irony is

00:47:10.020 that prostitution is 1.00

00:47:11.040 the very definition

00:47:12.180 of exploitation.

00:47:13.020 The people who

00:47:16.580 wish to normalize

00:47:17.660 prostitution will

00:47:19.460 say, and this

00:47:20.520 argument is very

00:47:21.180 common now, this

00:47:22.620 is what Naomi Sayers

00:47:23.940 would say, will

00:47:24.760 say that there's no

00:47:25.340 difference between 0.76

00:47:26.180 literally whoring 0.85

00:47:27.380 yourself out and

00:47:28.760 say, working at

00:47:29.620 McDonald's.

00:47:30.800 But there's a very

00:47:31.840 clear difference.

00:47:33.240 When you work at

00:47:34.240 McDonald's, you're

00:47:35.760 being hired and

00:47:36.740 paid to perform a

00:47:37.700 task to do a

00:47:39.880 certain thing. 1.00

00:47:41.180 As a prostitute, you 1.00

00:47:43.660 are the thing that 1.00

00:47:45.000 is being done.

00:47:46.700 You aren't selling

00:47:47.760 your services or

00:47:48.700 your skill set, you're

00:47:49.740 selling your body

00:47:50.600 itself.

00:47:52.000 Your body is the

00:47:53.620 product, the

00:47:54.400 object, the

00:47:56.040 inventory on the

00:47:57.140 shelf.

00:47:58.540 If you work at

00:47:59.400 Old Navy, right,

00:48:00.820 you're selling

00:48:01.260 clothes.

00:48:02.320 If you work as a 0.99

00:48:03.320 prostitute, you're 1.00

00:48:04.200 taking off your 1.00

00:48:04.840 clothes and selling

00:48:05.840 what's underneath.

00:48:06.960 And what's

00:48:07.540 underneath it is

00:48:08.380 you, your body,

00:48:09.280 yourself. 1.00

00:48:11.200 The prostitute 0.99

00:48:11.780 offers her body 1.00

00:48:12.780 up as a

00:48:13.620 glorified 0.98

00:48:14.320 masturbatory aid, 1.00

00:48:17.360 a breathing sex 0.99

00:48:18.480 doll, essentially, 1.00

00:48:19.380 to be exploited

00:48:20.920 and used and

00:48:21.740 then discarded by

00:48:22.480 a stranger.

00:48:23.300 There is a major

00:48:24.440 difference here.

00:48:26.280 It's the difference

00:48:27.300 between being an

00:48:28.040 employee and a

00:48:28.980 slave.

00:48:30.080 It's the difference

00:48:30.940 between selling an

00:48:31.920 object and being

00:48:33.720 one.

00:48:35.340 There are those

00:48:36.260 who don't want you

00:48:36.800 to notice the

00:48:37.320 difference.

00:48:37.640 They seek to

00:48:39.060 elevate prostitution

00:48:40.180 by degrading all

00:48:41.920 other work.

00:48:42.500 And this is always

00:48:43.120 the method, right?

00:48:43.880 Lift up what is

00:48:45.080 dirty and wrong by

00:48:47.060 pulling the whole
