00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, a Facebook documentary series shows the trials and tribulations of a father who identifies as a mother and is now trying to breastfeed his child.
00:00:08.800 Shockingly, it's not going well.
00:00:10.700 Also, five headlines, including Joe Biden claiming that voter ID laws are the new Jim Crow.
00:00:15.440 And Anthony Fauci says that your three-year-old still needs to be masked.
00:00:19.840 I mean, my three-year-old has never been masked to begin with, but he's saying you still need to have a mask on the three-year-old.
00:00:24.520 And another ESPN host, another one, finds himself in a racism controversy and in our daily cancellation, we'll talk about the campaign for greater fat acceptance in the workplace.
00:00:34.560 All of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:45.460 So I want to tell you about Helix Mattress.
00:00:47.960 You know, Helix Mattress, I think, has proven for me to be kind of a blessing and a curse.
00:00:52.920 It's a curse only in the sense that it's so comfortable that I rely on it.
00:00:56.980 And when I'm out traveling at a hotel or something like that, staying at somebody's house and they don't have a Helix Mattress, I struggle.
00:01:04.000 You know, I become kind of a coddled baby in that way because Helix Mattresses are just so comfortable.
00:01:08.420 And the reason they're so comfortable is that you can get them customized to match exactly your body type and all of your sleep preferences.
00:01:14.720 And you get the perfect mattress for you.
00:01:16.280 If you like a mattress that's really soft or firm, if you sleep on your side or your back, however you sleep, whatever your body type is, there's a specific mattress for each and everybody's unique taste.
00:01:25.220 You don't need to take their word for it either or my word for it.
00:01:28.460 Helix was awarded the number one best overall mattress of 2019 and 2020 by GQ and Wired magazine.
00:01:34.140 If you want to see why that is, if you want to experience it for yourself, just go to helixsleep.com slash Walsh.
00:01:38.520 Take their two-minute sleep quiz and they will match you with the perfect mattress for you.
00:01:42.360 And then all you got to do is buy that mattress.
00:01:44.560 And right now, as far as buying mattresses, Helix is offering up to $200 off and free pillows with all mattress orders for our listeners at helixsleep.com slash Walsh.
00:01:53.160 That again is helixsleep.com slash Walsh for up to $200 off your mattress order.
00:01:58.740 Now, before we get going today, I need to mention something that's pretty exciting or at least mildly interesting.
00:02:03.420 I don't want to oversell it.
00:02:04.520 I did just start my own weekly newsletter.
00:02:07.420 Everyone else has newsletters these days.
00:02:10.920 There's a lot of newsletters out there.
00:02:13.120 But those newsletters are written by other people.
00:02:16.360 This is the world's first newsletter to be written by me.
00:02:20.460 So, once again, I am an innovator and a trendsetter.
00:02:23.520 So, if you want to be blessed by this newsletter once a week, all you have to do is go to mattwalshreport.com.
00:02:28.980 I have my own fancy URL and everything.
00:02:31.640 mattwalshreport.com.
00:02:32.640 Give us your email address and you'll get that newsletter every Friday.
00:02:37.160 Okay, now here's something that may or may not appear in this week's newsletter.
00:02:41.060 I may not be able to stomach talking about it anymore beyond this segment.
00:02:44.760 But a video went viral this week featuring a clip from a show called Nine Months with Courtney Cox.
00:02:50.980 Now, as the title suggests, the show is supposed to document the journey of various parents through pregnancy, birth, and into the early days and months of raising a newborn.
00:02:59.600 One of the couple's profiled on the show are a man and a woman named Ahanu and Patrona.
00:03:06.800 Ahanu is the mom and Patrona is the dad.
00:03:10.600 This is kind of hard to keep track of because, you know, since this is Facebook we're talking about and this is also modern society we're talking about, there's a catch.
00:03:19.200 Ahanu, the mom, identifies as the dad and Patrona, the dad, identifies as the mom.
00:03:24.060 An article on The Federalist gives more background.
00:03:26.900 It says, quote, Ahanu, a female identifying as a male, and her partner Patrona, a male identifying as a female, were caught off guard by the pregnancy news because they both were using hormone replacement therapy.
00:03:39.240 As the episodes go on, Cox claims the couple faces discrimination at the doctor's office because someone wrongly assumed each partner's sex.
00:03:46.460 They didn't even speak to me, Ahanu said, quote, I just felt like they just made assumptions, making an assumption from the very beginning without even asking our names, not asking a thing about us, Patrona added.
00:03:57.960 Well, just to make a side note here, that's because when it comes to your biological sex, and really we don't need to say biological sex because there's no other kind.
00:04:07.900 But when it comes to your sex, your name doesn't matter.
00:04:17.560 We don't need to know anything about your personality, we don't need to know what your hobbies are, what your interests, what your hopes and dreams are, because all that matters is the biology.
00:04:28.860 They determine that physically, which is why you could dig up the remains of someone long ago dead and tell what sex they were.
00:04:42.560 You can't interview them, you can't ask their name, you can't ask how they identify, and yet you can tell the sex, oftentimes.
00:04:49.780 Back to the federal, it says, leading up to the home birth, the couple opted to prevent further, which they opted to prevent further medical discrimination and trauma.
00:04:59.440 The show also documented the couple's struggle to claim my truth, quote unquote, and choose who in their families will respect their wishes to raise a non-binary child.
00:05:08.560 Ahanu said, quote, the gender binary was very violent, and growing up I had a gender assigned to me, and it caused me a lot of unnecessary trauma.
00:05:15.160 Now, it's very lonely and isolating, like I know my parents could do more.
00:05:21.560 Patrona also expressed reluctance that his family would choose to ignore the baby's sex because their minds are filled with Christian supremacy.
00:05:29.440 Now, this is all deranged enough as it is, but it gets worse.
00:05:33.300 Here is the actual viral clip mentioned earlier.
00:05:35.980 It shows Patrona, the biological father, attempting to breastfeed the newborn.
00:05:39.880 You probably didn't think you'd get a chance to see male breastfeeding on the show today,
00:05:43.940 and you certainly don't want to see it, I'm sure, but here it is anyway.
00:05:48.040 Let's watch.
00:05:48.900 I just felt really thankful for Ahanu for creating our family.
00:05:55.160 Oh, I have to put it on here.
00:05:59.020 The baby has been able to latch, but I've not been able to produce any milk.
00:06:04.320 It's okay, because we're going to supplement the feeding with formula so that my baby is still getting the nutrients that they need.
00:06:12.680 But I'm still feeling hopeful.
00:06:15.860 I appreciate you so much for all your work.
00:06:18.960 And I appreciate you also being, and kind of done it without you.
00:06:25.900 I love you.
00:06:27.420 Is he getting any milk, the person behind the camera asks?
00:06:32.640 Well, no, he isn't, because he's being breastfed by his dad.
00:06:35.900 And dads don't produce milk.
00:06:39.000 Now, it'll be pointed out by some people attempting to justify this grotesque display that actually, technically, in some cases, men can lactate.
00:06:48.100 And that's true.
00:06:49.280 There's always people ready with the rare medical exception saying,
00:06:54.040 Well, here's this crazy exception I found on Google, which totally undermines the entire sexual binary.
00:07:03.340 There have been a few recorded instances of this due to medical anomalies or other circumstances.
00:07:08.540 I think a certain kind of tumor can have this effect, for example.
00:07:11.600 But these are medical anomalies, rare cases, extreme exceptions.
00:07:16.800 And there's no reliable recorded instance of a man actually producing enough milk to keep a baby fed.
00:07:22.480 There are, however, billions of recorded instances of women producing enough milk for a baby because that is how nature has designed it.
00:07:31.360 But as we've seen, nature is often told to take a backseat.
00:07:34.560 It is often subverted in order to serve the emotional needs of deluded narcissists.
00:07:40.560 Speaking of narcissism, this is an aspect of our contemporary gender madness and really our contemporary madness as a whole.
00:07:50.120 It's an aspect that isn't talked about a lot.
00:07:52.420 There's a lot of mental illness at work here, clearly.
00:07:55.600 But there's also something simpler and more common, which is narcissism.
00:07:59.340 The conviction that my self is the center of all things and all of reality must conform to my expectations for it.
00:08:12.180 There's perhaps no picture that captures narcissism more profoundly or grossly than that of a father calling himself a mother while trying to breastfeed his helpless infant.
00:08:24.400 And what about that infant?
00:08:25.780 You know, we're told that the lifestyle choices other people make are not our business because nobody's being harmed.
00:08:31.200 This isn't hurting anyone but out, they say.
00:08:34.300 But, you know, the baby counts as someone.
00:08:37.960 The baby is a person.
00:08:40.580 And he didn't choose to be caught in the middle of this.
00:08:43.280 He didn't choose to become a prop in this macabre stage play.
00:08:48.320 He didn't choose to be part of the costume that is being worn here.
00:08:53.480 And that's the case for many kids born into these sorts of situations.
00:08:58.280 Or all of the kids born in these situations.
00:09:00.200 None of them chose it.
00:09:02.420 And really, it's the case for all kids, actually.
00:09:05.680 Across all of Western culture.
00:09:09.760 Even those with moms and dads who are actually moms and dads and call themselves as such.
00:09:13.440 We have a whole generation of people born into a reality that has been completely redefined to suit what was once a tiny minority.
00:09:23.540 All humans in history until now were born into a world where at least the most basic realities were acknowledged and recognized.
00:09:30.220 We now have at least one generation in the West and more to follow who will be deprived of that blessing.
00:09:40.540 And it's a sad thing that we can call it a blessing.
00:09:43.560 That we could call reality.
00:09:45.400 To simply live in reality.
00:09:47.340 To be raised in reality.
00:09:48.840 And to be taught about the most basic aspects of reality.
00:09:54.820 The fact that we have to even call that a blessing now.
00:09:56.840 Tells you everything you need to know.
00:09:59.580 But we're going to have generations of kids.
00:10:02.260 Millions of kids.
00:10:04.880 Who are born without that.
00:10:06.860 Not given that.
00:10:07.760 So, is this affecting someone?
00:10:15.620 Is this harming other people?
00:10:17.840 Yeah, I'd say so.
00:10:19.900 Now, let's get to our five headlines.
00:10:27.240 We've got a new sponsor on the show today.
00:10:29.300 That's Thompson Cigar.
00:10:30.860 Listen, I'm not a cigar expert.
00:10:34.660 But I do know that I like cigars.
00:10:37.840 And also, you always look cool with a cigar in your hand.
00:10:40.580 That's a fact of the matter.
00:10:42.540 And look, for me, a cigar, a whiskey, reading a book.
00:10:47.400 That's my happy place right there.
00:10:49.160 Doesn't get much better than that.
00:10:50.700 So, whether you're working from home or just kicking back after a week of working.
00:10:54.880 There's no better way to relax than with a premium cigar.
00:10:57.760 With over a century in the business, these guys really know their stuff.
00:11:00.800 So, you don't have to know everything about cigars.
00:11:02.460 Because they're going to help you out.
00:11:03.540 They've got the best prices on the biggest brands in the business.
00:11:05.920 From Macanudo to Monte Cristo.
00:11:08.080 Looking to try, if you want to try something new, something rare, some top-rated blends.
00:11:12.400 But you don't want to splurge on a whole box.

00:11:22.540 And you're kind of relying on them to send you the best.

00:11:35.520 Which is usually what I go with.
00:11:36.800 And I cannot recommend it enough.
00:11:37.940 So, sit back and take a break from all the craziness with a cigar from Thompson Cigar Company.
00:11:41.640 These guys rarely do offers.
00:11:43.160 But right now, Thompson is offering our listeners 15% off on orders that are over $75 or 20% off on orders over $99.

00:12:02.640 Well, we got to talk about Joe Biden to begin with.
00:12:05.660 But I did see this.
00:12:07.700 I wanted to mention a sad story.
00:12:11.420 Very sad story.
00:12:14.020 Apparently, and this is from WTVG, 13 ABC, local affiliate serving Ohio and Southeast Michigan.
00:12:25.680 Anyway, there was a big George Floyd mural that collapsed.
00:12:33.900 You know, we've seen all these George Floyd murals all over the country.
00:12:37.580 People painting these murals to honor a convicted violent felon who forced his way into a woman's home at gunpoint and robbed her.
00:12:46.540 And then died while high on fentanyl and resisting arrest.
00:12:50.300 People making murals to honor him.
00:12:51.780 And one of them, it was, you know, on a brick wall and it kind of collapsed.
00:12:56.960 And at first, the pictures were circulating yesterday and people were saying, how did this happen?
00:13:01.240 That this, what a tragedy that this mural fell apart.
00:13:07.020 Was this some good Samaritan?
00:13:08.660 I mean, not good Samaritan.
00:13:09.580 Was this some dastardly evildoer who destroyed the mural?
00:13:13.080 Well, it turns out, now here's the update.
00:13:16.740 This is according to the ABC affiliate.
00:13:19.520 Witnesses have said that the mural was struck by lightning and then collapsed.
00:13:28.260 And that's, that is, that is something, isn't it?
00:13:34.200 You know, it's not, it's not often that you see damage to, you know, the, the brick siding on a, on a, on a building because of, of lightning.
00:13:44.480 I mean, I'm not saying it never happens, but it's pretty rare.
00:13:46.420 I mean, how many murals have we seen that have been destroyed, that have been struck by lightning from the sky?
00:13:55.140 That's the report anyway.
00:13:58.640 It was struck by lightning.
00:14:00.820 Oh man, how sad, how unfortunate.
00:14:03.160 I mean, it's almost, it's almost as if this is some kind of sign.
00:14:08.540 I don't know.
00:14:09.420 I don't want to make too much out of it.
00:14:10.780 But it's, it's, it's, it's almost like you might think that maybe it's almost like God is saying to us, hey, you know, you shouldn't be celebrating a violent felon and horrible person who forced his way into a woman's home and robbed her at gunpoint and then died while overdosing on fentanyl.
00:14:34.100 You know, it's almost like God is saying that to us, you know, the, the left, they have their statues and murals and monuments that they want to destroy.
00:14:45.000 And so they have to go themselves and do it.
00:14:48.760 Mobs of people go and do it.
00:14:50.720 But this one, this was taken care of from, from the heavens.
00:14:57.100 I don't know.
00:14:58.820 Very interesting.
00:15:00.560 Lots of conclusions could be drawn.
00:15:03.040 All right, let's move here.
00:15:04.420 Number one, Joe Biden gave his big speech on voter rights.
00:15:07.540 And we played the clip yesterday of Jen Psaki talking about what, you know, previewing what this speech would contain.
00:15:15.320 The actual thing itself was somehow even more deranged and dishonest than, than it was originally, than as, than, than how it was originally sold.
00:15:26.860 Let's, let's listen.
00:15:27.540 17 states have enacted, not just proposed, but enacted 28 new laws to make it harder for Americans to vote, not to mention, and catch this, nearly 400 additional bills.
00:15:44.860 Republican members of the state legislatures are trying to pass.
00:15:50.000 The 21st century Jim Crow assault is real.
00:15:54.580 It's unrelenting.
00:15:55.580 And we're going to challenge it vigorously.
00:15:59.940 The assault on free and fair elections is just such a threat.
00:16:03.860 Literally.
00:16:05.320 I've said it before.
00:16:07.460 We're facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War.
00:16:12.900 That's not hyperbole.
00:16:14.140 Since the Civil War.
00:16:17.100 The Confederates, back then, never breached the Capitol.
00:16:21.700 As insurrectionists did on January the 6th.
00:16:25.580 I'm not saying this to alarm you.
00:16:27.860 I'm saying this because you should be alarmed.
00:16:32.000 I'm not saying this to alarm you, but you should be alarmed.
00:16:34.920 Look, I'm not trying to alarm you, but be very alarmed.
00:16:39.940 He says it's not hyperbole, but of course it is hyperbole.
00:16:42.620 This is the greatest threat.
00:16:44.080 In fact, he seems to be saying it's not just the greatest threat since the Civil War, but it's a greater threat than the Civil War.
00:16:54.960 This is worse than the Civil War, he seems to actually be saying.
00:16:58.980 Whether he's saying it's worse than or as bad as.
00:17:02.300 Either way, it's just as dishonest and obscene.
00:17:09.620 We're talking about laws.
00:17:12.580 We have to keep repeating it.
00:17:16.280 And sometimes I feel like I repeat myself too much.
00:17:18.960 But the lies are repeated every single day ad nauseum.
00:17:24.360 And this is the tactic.
00:17:25.260 To repeat them and repeat them and repeat them.
00:17:28.600 Until the people who know the truth get tired of pointing it out.
00:17:34.680 And it's kind of...
00:17:35.960 You win that way, but the other side just gives up.
00:17:42.740 Kind of flooding the zone with all these lies.
00:17:45.440 And so you have to keep repeating the truth.
00:17:47.000 And the truth here is that we're talking about laws that would simply require people to produce some kind of identification in order to vote.
00:17:56.680 Just like they have to produce identification to do almost anything else in adult life.
00:18:01.180 If you want to be a functioning adult in modern society, you already need to have some kind of photo ID.
00:18:13.340 And so all we're saying is, let's take that and let's apply it to voting.
00:18:17.860 If you don't have a photo ID, great news.
00:18:20.460 You've got four years to get one.
00:18:22.800 Can you manage it in four years?
00:18:25.140 I think you can.
00:18:27.100 I don't care what position you're in.
00:18:28.740 I don't care if we're talking about an elderly, you know, let's take the most extreme case.
00:18:36.520 Elderly, poverty stricken, blind woman living out, you know, 100 miles from the nearest town.
00:18:46.620 If this, if hypothetical, if this person even exists, doesn't have an ID somehow.
00:18:52.220 Can we get that hypothetical person in ID in the next, in the next three or four years?
00:18:58.300 I think we can.
00:18:59.560 Even the most extreme hypothetical cases.
00:19:03.820 But speaking of, speaking of people living out in the country, because we're kind of, it's, they're playing both sides here.
00:19:10.000 We're getting, we're getting both versions of the, of the story.
00:19:16.100 What Joe Biden is saying, and what we, what we hear from Democrats usually is that voter ID laws are racist.
00:19:22.720 It's just like Jim Crow.
00:19:23.880 It's a conspiracy to keep black people out of the voting booth.
00:19:26.540 Which is to imply that black people don't know how to get IDs.
00:19:33.320 That's the implication.
00:19:34.280 Black people are too incompetent to figure out how to get an ID.
00:19:39.060 Which is total nonsense, obviously.
00:19:42.020 But then you've got Kamala Harris, we played the clip a couple days ago, where she's talking about, in a way that's just as patronizing and insulting,
00:19:49.620 she's talking about rural Americans and how they don't, they can't even, they got no kinkos around, which is true because kinkos don't exist,
00:19:56.600 but they can't figure out how to make photocopies.
00:19:59.560 They live way out there in the country.
00:20:03.680 So, so which is it?
00:20:06.840 Is this something that's targeting rural Americans?
00:20:10.840 Or is it targeting black people?
00:20:14.440 Is it Jim Crow?
00:20:15.140 Now, of course, there are black people living out in rural America, but that's predominantly white.
00:20:23.540 And so if you're telling us that these are laws uniquely affecting rural people,
00:20:29.520 then you're talking about predominantly white people.
00:20:32.940 So even if the laws are wrong,
00:20:35.580 if they're victimizing rural people and people who live in the cities,
00:20:41.280 then it's not racist, at least.
00:20:43.100 It's just wrong across the board.
00:20:44.240 The laws are not wrong, but they can't be racist in that case.
00:20:49.940 I think what they're, the reason why they're,
00:20:52.560 the balancing act they're trying to, trying to accomplish here is that,
00:20:58.020 yeah, they want to be able to call the laws racist.
00:21:01.680 That's the hook.
00:21:02.640 That's the selling point for them is that it's racist.
00:21:06.260 But at the same time, it's, it's hard.
00:21:08.780 They can't really explain why, let's say a black person living in a city can't get an ID.
00:21:16.700 You got DMVs all over the place.
00:21:20.840 I mean, I know here in Nashville, living in the city, we've got every, every five miles, there's a DMV.
00:21:26.700 So it's hard to explain, well, why can't you get an ID?
00:21:32.400 And then, so then they have to go to, to explain why, you know,
00:21:35.240 a circumstance where a person might not be able to get, get an ID,
00:21:38.260 they have to go to people living in far flung, far-fetched areas,
00:21:42.760 rural America, separated from, from modern civilization.
00:21:45.740 And of course, again, if you're going, if you're, if that's who you're talking about,
00:21:53.060 then you're talking about predominantly white people.
00:21:58.720 So that's the, the way they switch things up and hope you won't notice.
00:22:05.780 They say, oh, these, these, these laws are racist.
00:22:07.940 They're, they're going to prevent black people from voting.
00:22:11.500 And then you ask, well, what do you mean?
00:22:13.020 Why, why would they stop anyone from voting?
00:22:14.580 What are you talking about?
00:22:15.740 And they say, well, what about rural people living out in the country?
00:22:20.540 But you were just, that's not what you just said.
00:22:22.460 That's not, that's not the situation you were just talking about.
00:22:27.860 So it's all, it's all just dishonest, obviously.
00:22:31.560 Going down to number two, Tony Fauci is still at it,
00:22:34.040 clinging on to his relevance desperately.
00:22:36.120 And just like he wants your three-year-old to cling to his mask.
00:22:38.640 And here he is, he's asked about, what about, what about little kids,
00:22:42.340 kids over two?
00:22:43.180 We have been told all last year they're supposed to be wearing a mask.
00:22:47.680 Do they still have to wear a mask?
00:22:49.540 And Fauci says yes.
00:22:51.300 But what does this spread of the Delta variant mean for them,
00:22:54.420 for the children under the age of 12?
00:22:56.160 And what's the timeline for when they might become eligible?
00:22:59.540 The children who are not able to get vaccinated because of their age
00:23:03.900 should follow, their parents should follow with them,
00:23:07.520 the guidelines of the CDC.
00:23:10.420 That unvaccinated children of a certain age, greater than two years old,
00:23:14.020 should be wearing masks.
00:23:15.920 No doubt about that.
00:23:17.200 That's the way to protect them from getting infected.
00:23:19.340 Because if they do, they can then spread the infection to someone else.
00:23:24.580 So the CDC guidelines for unvaccinated people, including children,
00:23:29.220 are not changed at all.
00:23:32.320 We are currently doing, we being the federal government together in collaboration
00:23:36.720 with the pharmaceutical companies, age de-escalation studies,
00:23:42.000 namely looking at the safety and the immunogenicity of vaccines in children from 12 to 9 years old,
00:23:50.860 then from 9 to 6, then from 6 to 2 years old,
00:23:54.660 and then ultimately from 6 months to 2 years old.
00:23:58.680 Those data will likely be available by the end of the year,
00:24:03.240 and then it will be up to the FDA to decide when they will make a recommendation
00:24:09.660 that, in fact, this could be done in the sense of vaccinating children of that age.
00:24:17.340 This guy is really, he is really a scumbag.
00:24:20.600 This is a villainous person.
00:24:23.100 He truly is.
00:24:23.940 This is an old man, been in the government, leeching off of the government,
00:24:31.040 a parasite for decades now,
00:24:35.420 bungling everything every step of the way,
00:24:38.400 never accomplishing anything of note in his entire worthless career.
00:24:43.680 And now he refuses to go away.
00:24:45.200 He could just go away.
00:24:46.520 You had your time in the sun, right off into the sunset.
00:24:49.900 We don't need you now.
00:24:51.060 We didn't need you then.
00:24:51.980 We certainly don't need you now.
00:24:52.960 Go home and be retired.
00:24:55.200 You're what, 75 or something?
00:24:58.460 Just go home.
00:24:59.980 But he can't do it.
00:25:00.920 He's addicted.
00:25:03.320 Doing the cable news hits,
00:25:05.660 people treating him like an authority figure,
00:25:09.580 caring what he has to say.
00:25:10.740 He's addicted to it.
00:25:11.540 He cannot leave it.
00:25:14.480 What did he just say there?
00:25:15.460 He said, not only should your 3-year-old still be wearing a mask,
00:25:20.280 and I say still, but there should be no still,
00:25:23.860 because your 3-year-old never should have worn a mask to begin with.
00:25:28.280 But not only should your 3-year-old still be wearing a mask, he says,
00:25:31.760 but for the foreseeable future.
00:25:35.100 He says, well, we got to, the end of the year, we'll have these studies back,
00:25:43.380 and then the FDA will make a recommendation, and the CDC will say something,
00:25:46.840 and then we'll figure it out, and then we'll do this and that.
00:25:48.740 And, you know, maybe by the time they're, you know, hit their 18th birthday,
00:25:54.280 they can take the mask off.
00:25:55.100 Maybe.
00:25:55.340 In some ways, I want to say it doesn't matter what Fauci says.
00:26:02.020 There's no point in even getting upset about it,
00:26:03.860 because who is still listening to this fraud, this goon?
00:26:08.740 Who's still listening to him?
00:26:11.580 If you're still listening to him, and I know there are people who are,
00:26:14.160 that's why he's on MSNBC to begin with.
00:26:16.900 The kinds of people that would watch MSNBC and take it seriously
00:26:19.880 are the kinds of people that listen to Fauci, which is why he's there.
00:26:23.340 But we're certainly at the point now where if you are being influenced by this,
00:26:29.400 to put a mask on your young child, then you're the problem.
00:26:34.440 I can't even blame Fauci anymore.
00:26:37.100 You are the problem.
00:26:40.900 This is abusive, what you're doing to your child.
00:26:46.160 There's no excuse anymore.
00:26:48.800 Because you can't say, well, we're right in the middle of this pandemic,
00:26:52.400 and the virus is raging, and you're taking every precaution that you can.
00:27:00.220 You don't know exactly what's happening.
00:27:01.880 You're afraid.
00:27:02.440 You're afraid for your kid.
00:27:05.480 That's the excuses people offered six months ago, a year ago.
00:27:11.040 Oh, a year ago, let's say.
00:27:14.480 That doesn't fly anymore.
00:27:15.680 So if you're still putting a mask on your child, then you're the problem.
00:27:22.440 Fortunately, I can say I haven't even seen this.
00:27:24.580 I guess this is a very regional thing now.
00:27:27.420 It'll probably stay that way.
00:27:30.340 I can say here in Tennessee, I haven't seen anyone.
00:27:32.920 I think maybe I've seen, I don't know, a handful of people over the last few weeks
00:27:38.900 wearing masks, and they were all adults.
00:27:40.580 I would like to think that this is not a problem anywhere, but I think I know better than that.
00:27:46.600 Okay, speaking of children, page six reports on this.
00:27:50.660 It says, a British charity committed to limiting family size to help save the environment
00:27:54.720 this week gave Prince Harry and Meghan Markle an award for their decision to have just two children.
00:28:00.360 Population Matters will award the couple who welcomed their second child last month
00:28:04.340 the equivalent of $695 for their enlightened decision to have a small family and for serving
00:28:10.680 as role models for others.
00:28:12.700 $695.
00:28:13.460 Well, these are, that's going to come in handy because we know that Harry and Meghan,
00:28:18.000 they're on, they've hit financially hard times.
00:28:20.540 That's why they were complaining about it to Oprah.
00:28:22.700 Cut off from their family, having to make do in their 15-bedroom mansion
00:28:28.960 with only their Netflix deal and their book deals and all the interviews they're getting paid for.
00:28:36.840 So that's $700.
00:28:38.200 That'll come in handy.
00:28:41.180 The statement from the charity says,
00:28:42.880 having a smaller family reduces our impact on the earth and provides a better chance for all of our children,
00:28:48.180 for their children and future generations to flourish on a healthy planet.
00:28:51.100 that we can, we commend the Duke and Duchess for taking this enlightened decision
00:28:55.800 and for affirming that a smaller family is also a happy family.
00:29:01.660 Yeah, well, you know, bigger families aren't happy at all.
00:29:03.740 Like I came from, I have five brothers and sisters, nothing but despair and misery in large families.
00:29:11.840 In reality, it's, it's, it seems to me to be the opposite.
00:29:14.520 I mean, we're all going to be biased by our own personal experiences,
00:29:16.820 but I'm not saying that people that came from, come from smaller families aren't happy,
00:29:20.180 but I come from a larger family.
00:29:24.340 I know a lot of larger families.
00:29:26.140 I've been in that circle.
00:29:28.620 Go to a homeschool convention sometime.
00:29:31.140 Lots of very big families and people are very, very happy.
00:29:34.100 It's one of the first things you notice.
00:29:37.860 But they're saying that the way to save future generations,
00:29:44.340 it's how sick and twisted this is.
00:29:45.540 The way to save future generations is to eliminate them.
00:29:49.280 It's to ensure that there are no more future generations.
00:29:52.900 Because having two kids, that's the award here.
00:29:55.100 We'll be rewarding them for having two children.
00:29:56.700 Two children is below replacement level.
00:30:00.000 And what's considered quote unquote replacement level can vary depending on the country,
00:30:06.620 what part of the world you're in,
00:30:07.600 because you factor in the mortality rate and all those kinds of things.
00:30:10.060 But even in the United States, what is considered replacement level is more than two.
00:30:19.620 So this is below replacement level.
00:30:21.520 If everyone across the world, if they limited themselves only to that, to two or fewer,
00:30:29.160 then eventually we would see the extinction of the human race.
00:30:35.620 Which really, these kinds of environmental groups, population matters and so on,
00:30:42.100 that's really what they want.
00:30:43.220 They want to save the environment by extinguishing human life.
00:30:47.900 They see human life as a bad thing.
00:30:51.680 They see us as a cancer, a plague on the earth.
00:30:54.560 And so they've tallied it up and they've said, well, this is how many people we should have.
00:31:05.300 And anything more than that, that's overpopulation.
00:31:08.020 We've got the population and the overpopulation.
00:31:12.040 Of course, the funny thing is, people who talk about overpopulation,
00:31:16.360 they never seem to count themselves in the over category.
00:31:19.240 Which is why all the people worried about overpopulation,
00:31:23.940 you never see a rash of mass suicides among those people.
00:31:31.540 Because they're not going to take themselves out of the equation.
00:31:33.720 No, they want you to take your children out of the equation.
00:31:36.600 And your lineage, your bloodline.
00:31:39.760 Future descendants, that's what they want to take out of the equation.
00:31:43.760 Save the environment by extinguishing human life.
00:31:45.500 That's basically the idea.
00:31:46.420 Which raises a question, what is the point of an environment
00:31:51.220 without conscious, rational beings around to experience it?
00:31:59.240 So we want to save this planet for the trees and non-rational beings
00:32:05.280 by taking the rational beings out of the equation?
00:32:09.200 We are the ones who have placed value
00:32:15.380 on all of this stuff in the first place.
00:32:21.900 And that's especially the case
00:32:23.520 if you don't believe in God.
00:32:27.780 Which almost everyone who worries about overpopulation,
00:32:29.960 none of them are believers.
00:32:31.180 And so for them, there's no objective value to the earth.
00:32:37.220 There's no objective value to a tree.
00:32:41.900 It's all subjective.
00:32:44.660 We have decided.
00:32:46.200 We have placed the value on these things.
00:32:47.800 So you take us out as rational beings
00:32:52.700 capable of projecting value.
00:32:56.560 Take us out and then what value does the tree have?
00:33:00.660 This is an even bigger problem
00:33:02.440 for people who don't believe in God.
00:33:05.420 And they're all the ones.
00:33:06.700 It's almost entirely.
00:33:08.340 People worried about overpopulation
00:33:09.580 don't believe in God.
00:33:11.860 Speaking of which, I wanted to actually make this point.
00:33:13.380 We were talking about voting rights earlier.
00:33:15.880 And as I always say,
00:33:19.360 I don't hide the fact that
00:33:20.840 I don't believe that voting rights
00:33:24.120 are this sacred, God-given, inherent right
00:33:27.180 universal to all mankind.
00:33:29.480 I think it's more of a privilege
00:33:31.200 that you should qualify.
00:33:34.600 You should be granted after you qualify for it.
00:33:37.100 That's what I think voting rights should be.
00:33:38.820 And a lot of people don't like that.
00:33:43.500 I get criticized every time I bring that up.
00:33:45.360 And I was getting attacked online for that yesterday.
00:33:48.320 But once again, you run into the same kind of problem.
00:33:53.220 Now, there are lots of people who disagree with me
00:33:56.260 about voting rights who believe in God.
00:34:00.200 But certainly on the left,
00:34:02.180 almost everyone on the left,
00:34:04.080 it will disagree with my assertion
00:34:05.780 that voting rights are not inherent and God-given.
00:34:10.440 Yet they run into the same kind of problem
00:34:12.360 because many of them don't believe in God.
00:34:15.680 So how can they disagree with me?
00:34:18.360 They don't think that any rights are God-given.
00:34:22.120 Which means, by extension, by definition,
00:34:24.920 voting rights aren't God-given.
00:34:28.640 God-given or inherent,
00:34:30.080 because those are basically the same,
00:34:31.680 that's the same idea.
00:34:32.600 If there's no God,
00:34:35.940 then you can't have any God-given rights, obviously.
00:34:40.460 And if there's no God,
00:34:41.460 you also can't have any inherent human right.
00:34:45.060 Those are synonyms.
00:34:46.120 They mean the same thing.
00:34:47.840 What exactly is an inherent human right
00:34:50.540 without God?
00:34:53.020 What does that mean?
00:34:55.560 How can we have rights,
00:34:57.900 entitlements,
00:34:59.000 like we're entitled to things,
00:35:01.160 the universe owes us
00:35:02.500 just by the nature of the fact that we exist?
00:35:07.540 How can we have that without God?
00:35:12.600 What does it mean to say we have inherent value?
00:35:15.640 Our inherent rights come from our inherent value
00:35:17.800 as human beings.
00:35:18.780 Well, we don't have that.
00:35:19.680 There is no objective value without God.
00:35:23.100 This is a real problem
00:35:24.260 that you rarely hear anyone on the left
00:35:26.820 really grapple with.
00:35:27.560 You don't believe in God.
00:35:30.480 What even do you mean
00:35:32.040 when you talk about human rights?
00:35:34.920 It would seem like without God,
00:35:36.680 rights would have to be
00:35:38.140 entirely subjective,
00:35:40.460 something granted by the government.
00:35:43.040 And if the government can grant it,
00:35:44.540 then the government can take it away
00:35:45.540 and you can't really complain when they do
00:35:46.980 because they're the ones who decide.
00:35:51.780 Rarely do I hear that problem
00:35:53.020 tackled by anyone on the left.
00:35:55.520 All right, let's move on now.
00:35:58.040 I have to tell you, first of all,
00:35:59.300 before we play this clip,
00:36:00.260 that I don't know anything about baseball
00:36:02.120 because I generally prefer sports
00:36:04.020 that I can remain awake while watching.
00:36:06.440 I like to be awake while I'm watching sports.
00:36:08.740 I don't like for my sports to double as sedatives.
00:36:11.320 And that's just me.
00:36:11.960 So I'm no expert on the sport
00:36:13.820 as I dive into this.
00:36:15.020 And in fact, I don't even know
00:36:15.980 who the guy is that we're talking about here.
00:36:18.140 That's how out of the loop I am
00:36:19.600 when it comes to baseball.
00:36:20.660 But Shohei Otani
00:36:22.340 is the biggest superstar in baseball, apparently.
00:36:25.580 News to me.
00:36:26.400 And he's from Japan.
00:36:28.620 Stephen A. Smith,
00:36:30.260 inexplicably one of the biggest stars on ESPN.
00:36:33.200 He had some thoughts about that.
00:36:35.300 And then he had an apology
00:36:36.320 to offer for those thoughts.
00:36:37.720 But let's play the thoughts first.
00:36:39.100 Here he is.
00:36:40.480 When I look at Otani,
00:36:41.780 he is big time.
00:36:43.120 Babe Ruth, 33 home runs,
00:36:44.660 batting 279.
00:36:45.840 Got a 4-on-1 record
00:36:47.000 with a 379 ERA as a pitcher.
00:36:49.840 This brother is special.
00:36:51.200 Make no mistake about it.
00:36:52.840 But the fact that you got a foreign player
00:36:55.140 that doesn't speak English,
00:36:56.260 that needs an interpreter,
00:36:58.100 believe it or not,
00:36:59.060 I think contributes
00:37:00.220 to harming the game to some degree
00:37:02.580 when that's your box office appeal.
00:37:05.500 It needs to be somebody like Bryce Harper,
00:37:07.900 Mike Trout,
00:37:08.860 those guys.
00:37:09.800 And unfortunately,
00:37:10.460 at this moment in time,
00:37:11.800 that's not the case.
00:37:13.400 Now, obviously,
00:37:14.140 Sammy Sosa,
00:37:14.780 we learned later
00:37:15.700 during his testimony
00:37:16.820 on Capitol Hill
00:37:17.760 that suddenly he needed
00:37:19.080 an interpreter.
00:37:19.780 You know,
00:37:20.400 baseball being very,
00:37:21.340 very good to him.
00:37:22.500 You know what I'm saying?
00:37:23.220 That wasn't enough.
00:37:23.940 He needed an interpreter
00:37:24.940 to speak for him
00:37:26.280 when he was on Capitol Hill.
00:37:27.900 Certainly didn't need that
00:37:28.860 when he was smacking
00:37:29.540 those home runs.
00:37:30.320 I'm not taking anything
00:37:31.200 away from Otani.
00:37:32.080 I know what he's doing
00:37:33.120 on the field.
00:37:34.040 I know it's nothing
00:37:34.780 short of spectacular.
00:37:36.480 And I understand
00:37:37.160 that baseball
00:37:37.640 is an international sport itself
00:37:39.820 in terms of participation.
00:37:41.200 But when you talk
00:37:42.260 about an audience
00:37:43.220 gravitating to the tube
00:37:45.140 or to the ballpark
00:37:46.560 to actually watch you,
00:37:48.540 OK, I don't think
00:37:50.500 it helps that
00:37:51.720 the number one face
00:37:53.060 is a dude
00:37:54.260 that needs an interpreter
00:37:55.760 so you can understand
00:37:57.340 what the hell he's saying.
00:38:02.260 Shockingly,
00:38:03.720 Stephen A. Smith,
00:38:04.620 shortly after saying that,
00:38:06.060 did issue an apology.
00:38:09.040 He said, in part,
00:38:10.180 I'm sincerely sorry.
00:38:11.460 Let me apologize
00:38:12.160 as I'm watching things unfold.
00:38:13.740 Let me say,
00:38:14.760 but I never intended
00:38:15.440 to offend any community,
00:38:16.920 particularly the Asian community
00:38:18.420 and especially
00:38:19.040 Shohei Otani himself.
00:38:21.020 As an African-American,
00:38:21.780 keenly aware of the damage
00:38:22.680 stereotyping has done
00:38:23.440 to many in this country,
00:38:24.880 it should have elevated
00:38:25.520 my sensitivities even more.
00:38:27.020 Based on my words,
00:38:27.720 I failed in that regard
00:38:28.540 and it's on me
00:38:29.360 and me alone.
00:38:30.500 I'm so, so sorry.
00:38:31.300 Please forgive me.
00:38:32.020 Please don't take my job away,
00:38:33.660 et cetera and so forth.
00:38:35.520 Now, here's what I'll say
00:38:36.140 about this.
00:38:36.640 And I hate ESPN.
00:38:38.060 I think Stephen A. Smith
00:38:38.760 is obnoxious.
00:38:39.640 I have no desire
00:38:40.300 to try to bail him out
00:38:41.480 or defend him.
00:38:42.920 But,
00:38:44.420 an observation.
00:38:46.620 Smith was asked
00:38:48.060 whether it's good for baseball
00:38:49.980 that Otani is the number one attraction.
00:38:52.720 That was the question.
00:38:54.180 If he's only allowed
00:38:55.200 to give one answer
00:38:56.200 to the question,
00:38:57.000 then don't ask it.
00:38:59.960 His point is that
00:39:01.300 the best thing for baseball,
00:39:02.740 that's what he was saying,
00:39:03.680 in his opinion,
00:39:05.000 which he's now claiming
00:39:05.720 was not his opinion.
00:39:06.840 But the opinion
00:39:07.560 that he was clearly expressing
00:39:08.620 is that the best thing
00:39:09.520 for baseball
00:39:10.020 is if the biggest stars
00:39:11.840 are homegrown heroes,
00:39:13.440 you know,
00:39:13.660 hometown boys.
00:39:14.920 That's the best thing
00:39:16.000 he's saying
00:39:16.400 or was saying
00:39:17.780 before he retreated.
00:39:19.380 That's not a racist point.
00:39:22.420 It's not xenophobic.
00:39:24.320 It's a point about
00:39:25.360 marketing in sports.
00:39:28.440 Agree or disagree,
00:39:29.920 that's what it is.
00:39:33.600 But here's the real mystery
00:39:34.760 to me.
00:39:35.120 See, if you're going
00:39:36.900 to say this,
00:39:38.060 knowing where we are
00:39:40.100 in our culture
00:39:40.680 and knowing that you're
00:39:42.660 on ESPN,
00:39:43.640 of all things,
00:39:44.360 the woke,
00:39:45.080 scold central,
00:39:46.040 then you must know.
00:39:48.400 You must know
00:39:49.640 that there's going
00:39:50.420 to be a huge backlash.
00:39:51.580 You would have to know that.
00:39:53.100 How do you not know that?
00:39:56.900 I'm not even saying
00:39:58.160 that you shouldn't
00:39:59.200 make the point.
00:40:00.220 That's your opinion.
00:40:01.340 You were asked
00:40:01.940 the question.
00:40:03.100 It's a question
00:40:03.840 about marketing
00:40:04.480 and baseball.
00:40:05.120 And so you have
00:40:06.140 your point and you made it.
00:40:06.820 Great.
00:40:09.280 What I don't get
00:40:10.260 is how can you
00:40:11.240 be so stupid
00:40:12.140 as to not know
00:40:15.080 what the response
00:40:15.820 is going to be?
00:40:17.680 If you say it
00:40:18.520 and you know
00:40:18.860 what the response
00:40:19.440 is going to be
00:40:19.820 and you're prepared
00:40:20.800 for it,
00:40:21.940 and so you stand up
00:40:23.740 to it and say,
00:40:24.320 hey, that's my opinion.
00:40:25.280 I gave it.
00:40:26.280 And if you don't like it,
00:40:27.060 I don't care.
00:40:28.060 I'm not hurting anybody.
00:40:28.820 It's just my opinion.
00:40:29.440 If he had taken
00:40:33.300 that approach,
00:40:33.760 I'd respect it.
00:40:35.700 But instead,
00:40:36.360 he apologizes immediately,
00:40:37.840 which tells me
00:40:38.800 that he didn't
00:40:40.680 realize
00:40:41.800 there would be
00:40:42.880 a backlash
00:40:43.460 to that opinion
00:40:44.720 that he just expressed.
00:40:45.560 how can you
00:40:48.560 be so oblivious
00:40:49.540 as to not
00:40:51.680 know that?
00:40:54.480 That's the only thing
00:40:55.260 I find surprising
00:40:55.880 about this.
00:40:57.520 All right.
00:40:58.220 Let's move now
00:40:58.940 to reading the YouTube
00:40:59.680 comments.
00:41:01.200 This
00:41:01.580 is from Joe.
00:41:03.580 He says,
00:41:03.980 there's plenty
00:41:04.400 of BIPOC representation
00:41:05.660 in the geosciences.
00:41:06.900 Kanye informed us
00:41:07.700 all about the practice
00:41:08.540 of gold digging.
00:41:10.020 Well done, sir.
00:41:11.600 Well done.
00:41:12.560 Pop culture tie-in.
00:41:14.900 Not a very current tie-in,
00:41:17.140 but, you know,
00:41:17.740 even so.
00:41:19.320 Keon says,
00:41:19.960 the only reason
00:41:20.540 the Daily Wire
00:41:21.060 wouldn't make
00:41:21.640 the Sweet Baby Gang shirt
00:41:22.760 is because Shapiro
00:41:23.740 is just jealous.
00:41:24.780 He's not as popular
00:41:25.580 as you, Matt.
00:41:26.800 Yeah, that's right.
00:41:28.460 And he's jealous
00:41:29.140 that he can't do
00:41:30.120 as many pull-ups
00:41:30.720 as I can do.
00:41:31.260 So, that's all.
00:41:32.640 That's all this is.
00:41:34.680 Adam says,
00:41:35.820 by the way,
00:41:37.400 don't check the podcast charts
00:41:38.540 to confirm
00:41:39.140 who's more popular here.
00:41:40.660 Just take my word for it.
00:41:43.180 Adam says,
00:41:43.740 the problem with those statues
00:41:44.700 is that in a culture
00:41:45.620 where most people
00:41:46.340 spend their lives
00:41:47.040 whining on Twitter,
00:41:48.320 it's a reminder
00:41:48.960 of people actually
00:41:49.780 doing something
00:41:50.460 with their lives.
00:41:51.400 Yeah, I do think
00:41:51.820 that's part of it.
00:41:52.400 I think that there is
00:41:53.100 some envy,
00:41:53.860 there's some jealousy
00:41:54.640 going on
00:41:56.360 motivating
00:41:58.800 the destruction
00:42:00.440 of statues
00:42:01.060 and that's not
00:42:03.860 what motivated
00:42:04.340 the destruction
00:42:04.860 of the George Floyd
00:42:05.580 mural.
00:42:07.720 Those are motivations,
00:42:09.660 those were cosmic
00:42:10.460 motivations,
00:42:11.020 I can't speak to those.
00:42:13.160 But as far as
00:42:13.920 the mobs of people
00:42:14.540 tearing down statues,
00:42:15.260 I think that is part of it.
00:42:16.220 These are losers
00:42:16.880 who have never achieved
00:42:17.860 anything in their lives,
00:42:20.500 have never even
00:42:22.960 sniffed greatness,
00:42:26.000 have never,
00:42:26.920 don't even know
00:42:27.340 what it means
00:42:27.620 to strive for that,
00:42:28.900 to try to achieve anything.
00:42:31.060 And yeah,
00:42:33.680 I think that's probably
00:42:34.320 part of what
00:42:34.820 psychologically motivates it.
00:42:37.040 Tyler says,
00:42:37.980 Matt,
00:42:38.280 you have bashed
00:42:39.180 the sanctity
00:42:39.980 of Miller Lite.
00:42:40.960 For that,
00:42:41.360 I'm sad to say
00:42:42.080 you're banned.
00:42:43.220 I live to said
00:42:43.980 ban when you read
00:42:45.400 this comment tomorrow.
00:42:46.700 Well, you can't ban me
00:42:47.480 because I ban you.
00:42:48.400 And I really don't,
00:42:51.800 honestly,
00:42:53.200 I don't understand.
00:42:54.680 every time I see
00:42:56.340 someone drinking
00:42:56.900 Miller Lite,
00:42:57.980 okay,
00:42:59.420 if these are
00:43:00.260 college kids
00:43:01.120 and they're planning
00:43:03.340 to dump these things
00:43:04.240 into a beer funnel
00:43:05.140 or something,
00:43:05.800 then, okay,
00:43:06.440 I get that.
00:43:07.040 You're not going
00:43:07.320 to use IPA for that.
00:43:08.580 You're not going
00:43:08.920 to use an IPA
00:43:09.560 for that application.
00:43:10.900 It would be
00:43:11.400 a waste of IPA.
00:43:13.200 But when I see
00:43:13.760 grown adults
00:43:14.640 who are just looking
00:43:16.140 for a beer to sip
00:43:17.300 and have a nice time,
00:43:19.800 Miller Lite?
00:43:21.400 Was that literally
00:43:22.480 the only option
00:43:23.520 you had?
00:43:26.000 Was it that
00:43:26.960 or like a bottle
00:43:27.700 of goat urine?
00:43:28.520 Were those the two options
00:43:29.620 at your liquor store?
00:43:30.840 Because even then,
00:43:32.060 I'm not so sure
00:43:32.760 I'd reach for the Miller Lite.
00:43:38.180 And Brent says,
00:43:39.260 controversial view,
00:43:40.520 maybe,
00:43:40.960 but Sweet Baby Gang
00:43:41.980 isn't that great
00:43:42.760 of an inside joke.
00:43:43.920 Wouldn't it be better
00:43:44.500 to have a shirt
00:43:45.060 that says,
00:43:46.140 all hail the
00:43:46.840 theocratic dictator?
00:43:48.360 That joke has been
00:43:49.040 a much bigger part
00:43:49.720 of the show,
00:43:50.120 I'll suppose I'll be
00:43:50.920 banned now.
00:43:51.520 It's been fun.
00:43:53.600 Well, you're obviously
00:43:54.260 banned.
00:43:55.440 It's okay if you don't
00:43:56.360 like the Sweet Baby Gang
00:43:57.340 because you aren't
00:43:58.880 invited anyway.
00:43:59.580 You're not invited into it.
00:44:01.240 This gang is only
00:44:01.920 for true sweet babies.
00:44:03.280 You, sir,
00:44:04.480 are a sour baby.
00:44:06.160 I said it.
00:44:07.800 And finally,
00:44:09.280 this is from Nick.
00:44:10.860 I read this comment
00:44:11.720 yesterday and I was,
00:44:12.800 honestly,
00:44:13.240 I was floored by it
00:44:14.000 and traumatized.
00:44:15.640 Nick says,
00:44:16.280 just an unfortunate FYI,
00:44:17.940 Matt,
00:44:18.120 the door closed button
00:44:19.240 on elevators
00:44:19.920 only works on
00:44:20.860 independent service
00:44:21.720 or fire service.
00:44:22.700 In normal service,
00:44:23.400 it won't work.
00:44:25.080 I happen to have
00:44:25.700 the keys to make
00:44:26.400 the function work
00:44:27.080 and can provide them
00:44:27.940 for a Sweet Baby Gang shirt.
00:44:30.340 Well, first of all,
00:44:30.860 that's a deal I'll make.
00:44:31.660 But you're saying
00:44:33.060 the door closed button
00:44:33.920 on an elevator
00:44:34.440 doesn't work.
00:44:35.160 I read this comment
00:44:35.800 yesterday and I didn't
00:44:36.580 believe it.
00:44:37.020 are you telling me
00:44:39.460 that the door closed button
00:44:40.520 is what,
00:44:40.780 a placebo?
00:44:42.420 My whole life?
00:44:45.280 I hit the door closed
00:44:46.280 button every single time.
00:44:47.160 I rely on it.
00:44:48.200 I get this sense
00:44:50.080 of security from it
00:44:51.260 and even satisfaction
00:44:52.980 knowing that I'm hitting
00:44:53.900 the door closed button
00:44:54.600 while there's someone
00:44:54.980 walking down the hallway
00:44:55.760 and now they're going
00:44:56.800 to have to wait.
00:44:57.240 I get a sick,
00:44:58.520 cruel satisfaction.
00:44:59.500 You're telling me
00:45:00.260 that it doesn't do anything?
00:45:01.880 So I had to look this up
00:45:02.900 and apparently that's true.
00:45:05.460 We have all been lied to.
00:45:06.940 We have all been duped.
00:45:09.400 With rare exception,
00:45:11.720 ever since 1990,
00:45:13.160 I discovered,
00:45:14.760 because of the
00:45:15.540 Americans with Disability Act,
00:45:17.440 the door closed buttons
00:45:18.420 were all disabled.
00:45:19.780 Almost everywhere,
00:45:20.640 except for like
00:45:21.360 in New York, I think.
00:45:23.480 So in New York,
00:45:24.280 you can still hit that
00:45:25.060 and cut anybody off,
00:45:26.040 even disabled people.
00:45:27.600 They'll let New Yorkers
00:45:28.360 do that,
00:45:28.760 not surprisingly,
00:45:29.440 but nobody else can.
00:45:31.620 Because you want,
00:45:32.080 the idea was
00:45:32.920 we need to get people more,
00:45:33.980 if someone's disabled,
00:45:34.620 they have to have more time
00:45:35.560 to get on the elevator.
00:45:37.920 Which doesn't even
00:45:38.600 make any sense
00:45:39.160 because it's not like,
00:45:40.880 yeah, even if they're
00:45:42.420 a bunch of people
00:45:43.340 standing right at the elevator,
00:45:45.700 I'm not going to run in
00:45:47.500 and hit the door closed button
00:45:48.500 to try to cut them all off.
00:45:49.500 Even I wouldn't do that.
00:45:51.520 If they're walking
00:45:52.280 down the hallway,
00:45:53.220 then yeah, I'll do that.
00:45:54.740 But I would do that to anyone,
00:45:55.740 not just a disabled person.
00:45:57.800 It's not because
00:45:58.400 you're able-bodied
00:45:59.420 or disabled,
00:45:59.920 it's just because
00:46:00.300 you're a person.
00:46:00.980 And I'd rather not share
00:46:01.840 this space with you.
00:46:05.640 It's all a lie.
00:46:06.380 It's just like
00:46:06.820 the crosswalk button.
00:46:11.280 You know,
00:46:11.660 there are some truths,
00:46:12.500 I got to say this to you,
00:46:13.280 Nick,
00:46:13.420 there are some truths
00:46:14.940 that I think
00:46:15.740 the world is not prepared for.
00:46:19.160 And this is one.
00:46:20.360 I think you should have
00:46:20.820 kept that to yourself
00:46:21.480 because I don't know
00:46:22.260 what to do now
00:46:22.740 with my life
00:46:23.260 now that I realize
00:46:24.520 it's all been a lie.
00:46:26.120 How dare you?
00:46:27.160 I blame you for this.
00:46:28.680 You're banned from the show.
00:46:29.420 Well, if you have not
00:46:31.360 had a chance
00:46:31.920 to catch
00:46:32.580 Candace Owens'
00:46:34.060 new show yet,
00:46:34.720 I don't know
00:46:35.000 what you're doing
00:46:35.420 with your life.
00:46:36.000 I don't know
00:46:36.220 how many times
00:46:36.640 we have to tell you
00:46:37.220 about it
00:46:37.500 before you finally
00:46:38.280 give it a shot.
00:46:39.680 But if you haven't,
00:46:40.360 this is the perfect episode
00:46:41.380 to watch.
00:46:43.140 This is the perfect
00:46:43.760 introduction,
00:46:44.500 I think,
00:46:44.960 into Candace Owens
00:46:45.840 and the Candace show.
00:46:47.200 In the latest episode,
00:46:48.240 she discusses
00:46:48.780 the protests in Cuba
00:46:49.780 and weighs in on Marxism
00:46:50.940 with MMA fighter
00:46:51.880 Benil Dariush.
00:46:53.400 Great interview.
00:46:54.100 Don't want to miss that.
00:46:55.200 So watch Candace.
00:46:56.880 You can go to
00:46:57.580 Daily Wire right now
00:46:58.400 to watch Candace.
00:46:59.240 You can also,
00:46:59.820 of course,
00:47:00.120 download the audio podcast
00:47:01.400 and remember,
00:47:02.760 if you like what you hear,
00:47:03.800 to leave that five-star review
00:47:04.880 on Apple, Spotify,
00:47:06.660 or whatever your platform
00:47:07.520 of choice may be.
00:47:08.500 Also,
00:47:09.180 I gotta let you know,
00:47:10.560 if you haven't seen
00:47:12.140 the disturbing clip
00:47:13.020 of a man dressed
00:47:13.820 as an over-sexualized animal
00:47:15.480 reading to children,
00:47:17.140 then,
00:47:18.260 well,
00:47:18.700 you probably saw that clip
00:47:19.660 because I played it,
00:47:20.380 but if you didn't,
00:47:21.040 I wouldn't recommend it.
00:47:22.180 Instead,
00:47:22.500 I'd suggest reading up
00:47:23.340 on the connection
00:47:23.960 between the ideological
00:47:25.000 indoctrination of children
00:47:26.220 and authoritarianism
00:47:27.420 so you can learn
00:47:28.060 how to spot this
00:47:28.920 and stop it
00:47:29.620 before it's too late.
00:47:30.940 It's not hard to spot
00:47:32.420 when it's a guy
00:47:33.080 dressed in a rainbow monkey
00:47:34.100 as a rainbow monkey
00:47:35.360 with his genitalia
00:47:36.200 on display,
00:47:37.220 but how do you stop it?
00:47:38.780 That's an important question,
00:47:39.720 and currently,
00:47:40.140 your best course of action
00:47:41.040 for learning that
00:47:41.720 is pre-ordering
00:47:42.440 Ben Shapiro's new book,
00:47:43.880 The Authoritarian Moment.
00:47:45.540 Don't wait.
00:47:46.240 Arm yourself
00:47:46.840 with the knowledge you need
00:47:47.820 to shut America's tyrants
00:47:49.160 down in their tracks
00:47:50.080 before it's too late.
00:47:50.800 The Authoritarian Moment
00:47:51.500 is available now
00:47:52.820 for pre-order
00:47:53.440 at Amazon,
00:47:54.120 Barnes & Noble,
00:47:54.600 or any other
00:47:55.280 major bookseller.
00:47:56.800 Now let's get
00:47:57.180 to our daily cancellation.
00:48:02.140 Today for our daily cancellation,
00:48:03.740 we must revisit
00:48:04.540 the body positivity movement
00:48:06.120 or the fat acceptance movement
00:48:07.480 or the fat liberation movement.
00:48:09.020 There are many different names
00:48:10.140 for this movement.
00:48:10.900 All sorts of movements
00:48:12.380 are associated
00:48:13.200 with the celebration of fatness,
00:48:14.700 which is ironic
00:48:15.220 seeing as how
00:48:15.880 a lack of movement
00:48:17.220 is exactly what leads
00:48:18.240 to fatness in the first place,
00:48:19.200 but we begin
00:48:20.080 with the trials
00:48:20.960 and tribulations
00:48:21.420 of fat people
00:48:22.280 when they are traveling.
00:48:23.980 A viral TikTok video
00:48:25.380 featuring a teacher
00:48:26.200 by the name of
00:48:26.780 Mary Frances Donnelly
00:48:28.040 purports to show
00:48:28.880 the sort of discrimination
00:48:30.520 that obese individuals
00:48:31.740 encounter
00:48:32.200 simply by checking
00:48:32.980 into a hotel room.
00:48:34.740 This is apparently
00:48:35.300 a whole series of videos,
00:48:36.700 but we'll watch just one
00:48:38.000 to get the idea.
00:48:39.600 Here it is.
00:48:40.020 Welcome to
00:48:41.720 Our Hotels Fat Fubic
00:48:44.360 with me, your host,
00:48:46.860 your resident fat a**
00:48:48.100 Mary Fran.
00:48:50.540 Come hither.
00:48:51.700 Let's take a look
00:48:52.460 at the bathroom.
00:48:55.220 Mary?
00:48:56.240 As one might see,
00:48:58.080 it looks normal.
00:49:00.360 Would you like to take
00:49:01.640 a pee or a poop?
00:49:03.680 Don't worry.
00:49:05.000 You'll barely fit.
00:49:10.020 Perhaps a shower.
00:49:16.880 Oh,
00:49:17.540 and a challenge
00:49:18.240 is my house?
00:49:20.400 Don't worry.
00:49:22.120 It won't fit.
00:49:24.400 Oh, yes.
00:49:25.260 It's so nice.
00:49:26.340 I'm ready to go outside.
00:49:27.620 So she appears
00:49:39.960 to have a good sense
00:49:40.540 of humor about things
00:49:41.440 in that video,
00:49:42.140 which is nice.
00:49:44.340 A nice change of pace
00:49:45.740 from the sort of
00:49:46.780 hectoring scold tone
00:49:48.660 that you get
00:49:49.300 from most TikTok videos
00:49:50.280 of this sort.
00:49:50.920 But a report
00:49:51.400 from ABC News
00:49:52.740 explains that this
00:49:53.700 is no laughing matter.
00:49:55.060 They interviewed Donnelly
00:49:55.980 about her traveling
00:49:56.820 as a fat person series
00:49:58.040 and this is how
00:49:58.840 she explained it.
00:49:59.440 Quote,
00:50:00.080 this video is my way
00:50:01.080 of highlighting
00:50:01.560 a very real stress
00:50:02.620 I felt for years
00:50:03.540 and have only recently
00:50:04.340 begun to unpack
00:50:05.160 as I have looked
00:50:05.860 at my existence
00:50:06.480 as a fat slash
00:50:07.600 plus size person
00:50:09.080 in this world.
00:50:10.100 The article then continues.
00:50:11.760 While the tone
00:50:12.320 of the videos is light,
00:50:13.160 these things can affect
00:50:14.060 how travelers move
00:50:14.980 within that space.
00:50:16.240 Donnelly isn't alone.
00:50:17.280 The comment section
00:50:17.860 on her video
00:50:18.280 are flooded with people
00:50:19.120 in solidarity
00:50:20.780 offering up
00:50:21.440 similar experiences.
00:50:22.380 Quote,
00:50:22.900 I travel with my own
00:50:23.840 bath sheet and pool towel
00:50:25.240 to avoid the tiny
00:50:26.300 towel debacles
00:50:27.160 shown in the TikTok video.
00:50:28.620 Annette Richmond,
00:50:29.300 founder of Fat Girls
00:50:30.240 Traveling,
00:50:30.800 told GMA.
00:50:32.040 Quote,
00:50:32.340 I have to become
00:50:32.920 a travel detective
00:50:33.920 while booking accommodations,
00:50:35.600 investigating the hotel chairs
00:50:36.720 and bed frames,
00:50:37.920 avoiding plastic chairs,
00:50:39.300 chairs with arms
00:50:40.040 and metal bed frames
00:50:40.980 at all costs
00:50:41.580 because they can buckle
00:50:42.560 under pressure.
00:50:44.500 The message this sends
00:50:45.680 to plus side travelers,
00:50:46.760 Donnelly said,
00:50:47.320 is that a vacation
00:50:48.060 can't truly be a vacation.
00:50:49.820 Travelers either have to deal
00:50:51.000 with humiliation
00:50:51.720 or prime a trip
00:50:53.200 with hours of research
00:50:54.280 into what a room's sizing
00:50:55.720 and amenities may look like,
00:50:56.800 she said.
00:50:57.160 Quote,
00:50:57.700 simple things like a towel size
00:50:59.280 or whether a chair
00:51:00.080 is stable enough
00:51:00.760 to hold a person's weight
00:51:01.640 is completely disregarded
00:51:02.660 and chalked up
00:51:03.720 to the traveler's issue,
00:51:04.800 she said.
00:51:05.940 Quote,
00:51:06.220 it furthers the narrative
00:51:06.980 that larger bodied people
00:51:08.220 are expected to roll
00:51:09.220 with the punches
00:51:09.780 and accept this sort of treatment
00:51:11.620 because since the dawn
00:51:12.760 of diet culture,
00:51:14.120 we've been made to feel
00:51:15.700 like we're the problem.
00:51:18.140 Okay, well,
00:51:19.140 I'm not sure if there's
00:51:20.280 any delicate way
00:51:21.200 to put this,
00:51:22.060 but if you find
00:51:22.720 that you need to research
00:51:23.700 ahead of time
00:51:24.440 what sort of furniture
00:51:25.520 will be in your hotel room
00:51:26.900 for fear that it won't
00:51:27.740 support your weight,
00:51:28.800 then yes,
00:51:30.160 ma'am,
00:51:31.000 you are the problem.
00:51:32.880 Or rather,
00:51:33.620 we should say
00:51:34.380 you have the problem.
00:51:36.040 The problem is that
00:51:36.780 you carry so much weight
00:51:38.260 on your body
00:51:38.760 that an average piece
00:51:39.580 of furniture
00:51:39.960 cannot sustain it.
00:51:41.640 Whose problem is that
00:51:42.920 if not yours?
00:51:43.700 I mean,
00:51:44.360 who has introduced
00:51:45.360 that problem
00:51:46.460 into the equation?
00:51:48.420 Who's really at fault?
00:51:50.420 Apparently,
00:51:50.800 the hotel is at fault
00:51:51.640 for not making their chairs
00:51:52.620 out of,
00:51:53.200 I don't know,
00:51:53.560 concrete.
00:51:55.080 We can find a similar theme
00:51:56.220 in another article
00:51:56.920 published this week.
00:51:58.180 This one from the website
00:51:59.420 Fast Company
00:52:00.220 about the changes
00:52:00.960 your workplace should make
00:52:01.900 in order to better
00:52:02.600 accommodate the fattest
00:52:03.640 among us.
00:52:04.500 It gives a number
00:52:05.360 of helpful tips
00:52:06.240 like suggesting
00:52:06.920 that any office
00:52:07.980 wellness programs
00:52:08.920 should be,
00:52:09.600 quote,
00:52:09.720 weight neutral.
00:52:11.300 In other words,
00:52:11.760 you should redefine wellness
00:52:13.020 to include morbid obesity
00:52:14.520 and heart disease.
00:52:16.300 In other words,
00:52:17.140 you should redefine wellness
00:52:18.260 to include unwellness.
00:52:20.640 Of course,
00:52:21.040 we're warned
00:52:21.420 that any office swag
00:52:22.620 like t-shirts
00:52:23.240 should come in
00:52:23.800 large enough sizes
00:52:24.580 that it could potentially
00:52:25.620 double as a bedsheet.
00:52:27.020 And then it says this
00:52:27.800 about the furniture.
00:52:29.480 Quote,
00:52:30.340 companies that are serious
00:52:31.820 about size inclusion
00:52:32.940 should look at their facilities
00:52:34.020 and workspaces,
00:52:35.240 says Peggy Howell,
00:52:36.300 vice chairman
00:52:36.860 and public relations director
00:52:38.540 of the National Association
00:52:39.940 to advance fat acceptance.
00:52:42.600 Think about including seats
00:52:44.000 without arms
00:52:44.720 or a combination
00:52:45.300 of typical chairs
00:52:46.320 and bench seating
00:52:46.940 to accommodate larger bodies.
00:52:49.420 The organization
00:52:49.880 has created an HR guide
00:52:51.860 and defines
00:52:52.340 a size-friendly chair
00:52:53.800 as one with a seat size
00:52:56.300 of 22.225 inches
00:52:58.980 and a back size
00:53:00.940 of 23 inches width
00:53:02.060 and 23 inches height.
00:53:04.040 Chair seats
00:53:04.640 should be height adjustable
00:53:06.360 and should accommodate
00:53:07.180 at least 450 pounds.
00:53:11.340 At least 450 pounds.
00:53:15.940 Think about that.
00:53:17.600 Just for reference,
00:53:19.360 Andre the Giant
00:53:20.240 was only 70 pounds heavier
00:53:22.060 than that at 520 pounds,
00:53:23.600 but he was well over
00:53:24.440 seven feet tall.
00:53:26.160 Aaron Gibson
00:53:26.800 was an offensive lineman
00:53:27.920 and one of the heaviest men
00:53:28.940 to ever play in the NFL.
00:53:30.660 He was 6'6''
00:53:31.700 and clocked in
00:53:32.740 at around 410 pounds.
00:53:35.280 Most NFL linemen
00:53:36.240 weigh 300 pounds
00:53:37.200 less than that.
00:53:37.840 So to be clear,
00:53:38.820 the National Association
00:53:39.920 for Fat Acceptance says
00:53:40.940 that in order to be
00:53:42.020 truly fat accepting,
00:53:43.460 you must specifically
00:53:44.540 accommodate people
00:53:45.420 who are heavier
00:53:46.620 than the heaviest NFL player
00:53:48.840 to ever play the game.
00:53:51.160 And I don't mean
00:53:51.920 to belabor the point here,
00:53:53.540 okay,
00:53:53.840 but the tallest man
00:53:55.880 in recorded history
00:53:56.640 was a guy named
00:53:57.180 Robert Wadlow.
00:53:58.460 He was almost
00:53:59.180 nine feet tall.
00:54:00.760 He reached,
00:54:01.600 I think it was 8'11
00:54:02.380 is what he reached
00:54:03.480 by the time of his death.
00:54:05.420 Nine feet tall
00:54:06.240 and he weighed 440 pounds.
00:54:09.920 Okay?
00:54:11.620 The people who weigh
00:54:12.520 440 pounds today
00:54:14.040 are not nine feet tall.
00:54:15.300 Many of them
00:54:15.680 aren't even six feet tall.
00:54:17.680 So my point here
00:54:18.720 is just that
00:54:19.180 450 pounds
00:54:20.320 is very,
00:54:22.140 very,
00:54:23.080 very overweight.
00:54:25.840 I think in order,
00:54:27.260 by the CDC's
00:54:28.280 BMI calculation,
00:54:29.980 in order for 450
00:54:31.100 to be a normal
00:54:32.320 or healthy weight,
00:54:33.180 you would have to be
00:54:34.140 like nine and a half
00:54:35.040 feet tall.
00:54:35.460 So when the,
00:54:39.240 when the fat acceptance
00:54:40.540 movement calls
00:54:41.600 for fat acceptance,
00:54:42.960 they aren't simply saying
00:54:44.100 that we should get rid
00:54:44.880 of the beauty standards
00:54:45.800 which demand that women
00:54:46.840 all have the weight
00:54:48.340 and physique
00:54:48.900 of an upside down mop.
00:54:50.320 You know,
00:54:50.520 most of us agree
00:54:51.260 that rail thin
00:54:52.520 should not be the standard
00:54:53.580 and it isn't the standard anymore
00:54:54.880 and hasn't been for a while.
00:54:56.600 I mean,
00:54:56.820 everyone agrees on that.
00:54:58.700 But fat acceptance
00:54:59.740 goes way beyond that.
00:55:01.420 They're calling for acceptance
00:55:02.800 of extreme,
00:55:04.480 morbid,
00:55:05.360 dangerous,
00:55:06.640 fatal obesity.
00:55:08.620 The type that requires
00:55:09.720 a lifestyle
00:55:10.420 of chronic gluttony
00:55:12.020 and laziness to achieve.
00:55:14.640 Yeah,
00:55:15.140 there are,
00:55:15.400 there are thyroid conditions.
00:55:16.900 There are,
00:55:17.740 you know,
00:55:18.000 people have different body types
00:55:19.520 and all of that.
00:55:21.040 People have different metabolisms.
00:55:22.740 I get all of that.
00:55:25.120 But that doesn't explain
00:55:26.560 450 pounds.
00:55:27.760 That doesn't explain
00:55:28.520 morbid obesity.
00:55:29.520 And for that reason,
00:55:33.520 fat acceptance
00:55:34.000 is an evil,
00:55:35.440 despicable,
00:55:36.280 anti-human movement.
00:55:37.540 It's not different,
00:55:38.240 it's no different
00:55:38.780 from anorexia acceptance
00:55:40.080 or bulimia acceptance.
00:55:41.880 It's just on the opposite
00:55:43.020 end of the spectrum.
00:55:44.980 There is no difference
00:55:45.940 morally speaking.
00:55:47.760 It is a celebration
00:55:49.020 of self-destruction
00:55:50.100 either way.
00:55:51.720 And there's something else too.
00:55:52.680 I mean,
00:55:52.840 this fat acceptance stuff
00:55:53.860 is a symptom
00:55:54.540 of a larger problem,
00:55:56.440 pun sort of intended.
00:55:57.800 The problem
00:55:58.320 is that in our culture,
00:55:59.520 today,
00:56:00.200 we're losing
00:56:01.660 one of the most basic skills,
00:56:03.260 one of the most fundamental
00:56:04.180 capacities
00:56:04.760 for any living organism.
00:56:06.840 That is the ability
00:56:07.940 to adapt
00:56:08.600 to our surroundings.
00:56:10.480 Okay?
00:56:11.240 Now,
00:56:11.900 like any capacity,
00:56:13.000 this has to be moderated.
00:56:14.620 It's possible
00:56:15.420 to be too adaptive
00:56:16.300 to try and blend in
00:56:17.440 too much,
00:56:17.980 but when properly utilized,
00:56:19.380 adaptation for a human being
00:56:20.440 means simply
00:56:21.480 that we are conforming
00:56:22.520 ourselves
00:56:23.060 and our behavior
00:56:24.120 to the structures
00:56:25.600 of reality.
00:56:26.980 We are accommodating
00:56:28.400 reality.
00:56:30.080 And like we talked
00:56:30.560 about in the opening,
00:56:31.260 these days though,
00:56:32.300 accommodation is supposed
00:56:33.240 to go the other way around.
00:56:35.060 We constantly expect
00:56:36.180 that reality
00:56:36.820 will accommodate us.
00:56:39.020 So we're going to be
00:56:39.940 however we want to be
00:56:40.980 and whoever we want to be.
00:56:42.600 And we demand
00:56:43.580 that all of reality,
00:56:44.740 all of society
00:56:45.520 fit in around us.
00:56:47.540 We walk through our lives
00:56:48.640 every day like Moses
00:56:49.440 standing in front
00:56:50.120 of the Red Sea,
00:56:51.280 demanding that it part
00:56:52.240 and allow us to walk across.
00:56:53.520 Only whereas Moses
00:56:54.400 used the power
00:56:55.540 of the Almighty
00:56:56.240 to part the sea,
00:56:57.000 we try to use the power
00:56:57.880 of social pressure,
00:56:59.680 of cancel culture,
00:57:01.040 of activism,
00:57:01.920 of government,
00:57:02.940 or some combination
00:57:04.280 of these
00:57:04.700 to accomplish
00:57:05.200 the same end.
00:57:06.840 And it works,
00:57:07.780 oftentimes.
00:57:09.020 The entitled whiny baby
00:57:10.960 who's able
00:57:11.620 to browbeat
00:57:12.300 everyone else
00:57:12.940 into conforming
00:57:13.600 themselves to him,
00:57:14.800 he's able to do that
00:57:15.840 so that he doesn't have
00:57:16.500 to conform himself
00:57:17.320 to them.
00:57:19.200 They accommodate him
00:57:20.660 instead of him
00:57:21.880 accommodating them.
00:57:24.580 It does often work
00:57:26.140 these days.
00:57:28.380 It works in that
00:57:29.400 immediate sense anyway.
00:57:31.400 But it doesn't work
00:57:32.400 in the deeper sense.
00:57:34.180 It doesn't make
00:57:35.080 the whiny baby
00:57:35.840 happy or fulfilled.
00:57:38.060 That's why he remains
00:57:39.140 a whiny baby
00:57:39.760 even after he gets
00:57:40.600 what he wants.
00:57:41.380 He is still miserable
00:57:42.240 because he's clinging
00:57:43.840 onto his own destruction.
00:57:45.900 The thing that he refuses
00:57:47.260 to let go of
00:57:48.060 is the very thing
00:57:49.060 that is causing
00:57:50.220 his despair.
00:57:52.320 The thing that he wants
00:57:53.300 everyone to accommodate
00:57:54.300 is the thing
00:57:56.360 that's destroying him.
00:57:58.580 He can force everyone
00:57:59.720 to pretend
00:58:00.220 that these bad parts
00:58:01.220 of himself are good,
00:58:02.260 but he can't actually
00:58:03.460 make the bad parts
00:58:04.840 good.
00:58:06.540 They're still bad.
00:58:08.300 They'll still destroy him.
00:58:10.800 They will still
00:58:11.520 make him unhappy
00:58:12.220 because in the end
00:58:14.040 reality wins.
00:58:15.420 It always does
00:58:16.460 one way or another.
00:58:17.320 even after all of us
00:58:19.580 are gone,
00:58:21.000 reality remains.
00:58:24.620 And for that reason,
00:58:25.980 the woman in that
00:58:27.240 TikTok video
00:58:27.820 is canceled.
00:58:29.920 Once again,
00:58:30.600 it was a long journey
00:58:31.220 to get there,
00:58:31.760 but we get back around
00:58:32.500 to the cancellation.
00:58:34.040 And we'll leave it there
00:58:34.640 for today.

00:59:28.340 Today on the Ben Shapiro show,
00:59:29.980 President Biden
00:59:30.480 goes fully radical
00:59:31.360 by declaring half the country
00:59:32.700 akin to Jim Crow racists.
00:59:34.460 Texas Democrats fly private
00:59:35.720 and live it up in D.C.
00:59:36.980 while declaring
00:59:37.400 they are fighting for the people.
00:59:38.560 And the Biden State Department says
00:59:40.100 we must answer for our racism
00:59:42.040 to the United Nations.
00:59:43.280 That's today on the Ben Shapiro show.
