Today on The Matt Wall Show, the Biden administration has announced its plan to get rid of all traffic
00:00:04.700
accidents and traffic deaths, reduce it to zero. Now, after failing to shut down COVID,
00:00:09.220
they will now attempt to prevent anyone from ever dying of anything ever again.
00:00:13.400
Also, Joe Biden officially begins his search for a new Supreme Court justice. He promises
00:00:16.900
it will be a thorough search and he'll consider a diverse selection of potential nominees as long
00:00:21.260
as they are black, female and liberal. The greatest female Jeopardy contestant of all time,
00:00:25.100
who's actually male, finally loses. And a writer wins praise from the left for publicly announcing
00:00:30.520
that she doesn't like being a mother. And finally, in our daily cancellation,
00:00:34.160
a PhD student attempts to school me on the topic of sex and gender.
00:00:38.600
We'll see how she did today. All of that and more today on The Matt Wall Show.
00:00:41.500
So there are two basic facts about government. One is that whenever it fails at something,
00:00:58.060
its solution for its own failure is always to do exactly what it was already doing,
00:01:02.800
except to do it more and more expensively. The second is that most bureaucrats are useless
00:01:07.840
and the most useless ones are often the ones who do the most and do it loudest because they feel
00:01:14.000
the great compulsion to justify their own existence, which means they'll always look for
00:01:18.620
things to do, even if those things don't need to be done or if doing them would cause more problems
00:01:23.420
than it solves. There are other important realities of government in modern times, but those are the
00:01:27.860
two facts, I think, which must be kept always in mind. And both of them are prominently on display
00:01:33.720
in this story. Pete Buttigieg, a profoundly useless man in the useless position of transportation
00:01:40.800
secretary, is on a mission to convince the public that his job is significant.
00:01:45.880
So after returning from his three-month paternity vacation, he first set out to cure racism by
00:01:50.760
destroying any racist roads or bridges that he could find. It was never exactly clear how he would
00:01:55.940
identify the racist infrastructure, but he huddled with a team of diversity specialists and they
00:02:01.660
figured it out. Somehow their plan did not involve repainting all of the streets white instead of
00:02:06.900
black. So that's still, you know, now every time you drive down the street, you're literally trampling
00:02:12.260
upon blackness, which is deeply traumatizing to black Americans and confusing to children, by the way.
00:02:17.800
In fact, a few weeks ago, my daughter asked me, we were in the car and she said, Daddy, why are all the
00:02:22.120
roads black? And I looked at her and I said, because everyone is racist, sweetie. I hoped I would never have to
00:02:28.100
have that conversation, but I did. At any rate, Buttigieg did something or other about the racist
00:02:33.860
roads. I don't know what. And now he's moved on to his next project, which is, which is even more
00:02:37.940
ambitious. He has now declared that he will reduce traffic deaths to zero. Now the government promised
00:02:45.540
to shut down COVID and ensured that nobody would ever die from a virus again. And having failed at that
00:02:52.040
in spectacular fashion, they will now embark on a project to ensure that nobody dies of anything else
00:02:56.980
ever again. We can be sure that they'll succeed in that arena about as much as they succeeded with
00:03:01.860
COVID. Here's Buttigieg announcing the plan. Listen. Another thing that is going to take in order to
00:03:08.020
change the trajectory of roadway safety in this country is a single ambitious shared goal. And today
00:03:14.780
we commit that our goal is this zero. Our goal is zero deaths. A country where one day nobody has to say
00:03:24.540
goodbye to a loved one because of a traffic crash. I understand the scale of the challenge and the
00:03:30.740
ambition represented by that goal. And I understand that we may not get there during my tenure as
00:03:35.580
secretary, but the decision to commit to that goal in a serious way at a national level changes the way
00:03:42.440
cities and towns design roads. It changes the ways companies build cars. It changes the way people
00:03:48.940
drive them. Oh yeah. It certainly would change all those things. Yes. Zero traffic accidents,
00:03:55.260
zero deaths. Now, some have argued that there's nothing wrong with this goal. This is just the
00:04:00.440
ideal. They say, yes, of course we won't ever actually abolish traffic accidents completely,
00:04:04.960
but we should at least try. They say a quarterback will never have a 100% completion percentage across
00:04:10.840
a whole season, but he still tries to complete every throw. Why can't we do the same thing with this?
00:04:16.080
Well, I'll tell you why. Those in charge of public policy have to engage in risk assessment and risk
00:04:23.780
management. We also have to do this on an individual personal level, but risk management means that
00:04:29.860
you're managing the risk, which means the risk is there. The risk is there. You're simply taking steps
00:04:36.100
to negate it within reason. Every human activity carries risk. The risk is inherent. Flying is very safe
00:04:45.240
generally, but there are still many risks. Why are there risks? Well, because you're 35,000 feet in
00:04:50.060
the sky. The risk is always that you're going to come down from the sky in a non-ideal manner,
00:04:55.860
let's say. You can manage that risk, but to erase the risk, to make it so that there is no risk,
00:05:01.840
to go from risk management to risk abolition, is to effectively abolish the activity itself.
00:05:07.980
The only way to make sure that nobody ever dies in a plane crash is to make sure that nobody ever flies
00:05:12.040
on a plane. If you're allowing people to fly on the plane, you're allowing some amount of risk.
00:05:17.980
You are saying, by allowing people to get on planes, you are saying, it's okay that some people are going
00:05:25.420
to die doing this. Because if it's not okay at all, then nobody should be allowed to do it.
00:05:32.860
Your risk tolerance cannot be zero. The only way to not take any risk when doing something is to not
00:05:40.380
do it. So let's think about what zero risk or near zero risk driving would look like.
00:05:47.220
First of all, highways are gone. They're gone. No more highways. As long as people are driving 60
00:05:52.440
miles an hour, there are going to be fatal car crashes. A national speed limit of 25 miles an hour
00:05:58.760
would have to be established, and that's just the starting point. Also, the driving age would have to be
00:06:04.300
raised to at least 25, which is the age when the prefrontal cortex is fully developed, and
00:06:08.940
you know, you're starting to think a little bit more rationally, and thus you're a better driver.
00:06:12.960
But if you're going to go for zero deaths, then really you want to raise it to probably 30.
00:06:17.800
Maybe 35. So I would just be coming off my learner's permit right now. Next, all forms of
00:06:24.680
distraction in the vehicle must be outlawed. No more drive-thrus. Close them all. Eating while driving
00:06:30.520
is distracting. No more driving with other people in the car, especially kids. Can't have them in the
00:06:36.520
car with you. We'd have to outlaw cell phones entirely because that's the only way to ensure
00:06:42.080
that nobody has them in their car. Also, we're going to need licenses to be renewed and the driver's
00:06:47.060
test to be retaken at least once a year, probably every six months, for the rest of your life.
00:06:53.020
That's just the starting point. More such measures would need to be put in place, but anything less than
00:06:58.120
these measures would mean that thousands of people are still going to die behind the wheel.
00:07:03.040
And even with these measures, or any other you can dream up, still there are going to be fatalities.
00:07:08.280
The only way to really get rid of them is to get rid of driving, along with all other forms of
00:07:13.360
transportation, faster than walking. But even walking could potentially kill you.
00:07:19.080
You know, you could fall down the steps. You've got to get rid of all the steps, too.
00:07:24.780
Really? Certain? We now have the right to be certain of our safety, even while engaging in
00:07:44.260
inherently risky activities? You might as well say that every person eating food should be certain
00:07:50.420
that they won't choke. What does it even mean to say that? Unless you want to eat through a feeding
00:07:55.820
tube for the rest of your life, you can never be certain that you won't choke. In fact, contrary to
00:08:00.720
Buttigieg, we should not be certain of our safety in the car or in any area of life, because the only
00:08:08.420
way to achieve that certitude is either to delude ourselves or to stop living. Now, you know, this stuff
00:08:16.060
about zero car accident fatality, it may seem like the silly ramblings of a bureaucrat with the mental
00:08:21.060
acuity of a carrot, and it is in one sense, but that's not all it is. Now, if I'd heard something
00:08:27.120
like this three years ago, I may have laughed it off and just said, ah, it's ridiculous. But things have
00:08:33.940
changed in recent times, and many Americans have shown a profound willingness to go to extraordinary
00:08:39.480
lengths to embrace previously unimaginable forms of tyranny in order to feel protected from even the
00:08:46.040
smallest risk of harm or death. Millions of parents have been willing even to ruin their children's
00:08:52.220
lives, cause significant emotional and psychological damage on purpose, knowingly, all in the pursuit of
00:08:58.760
this same futile goal. And, you know, the government has noticed this. That's another thing we can know
00:09:06.500
about government. When the people tolerate any form of tyranny, they take note. And they say, oh,
00:09:14.360
you're okay with that, are you? Well, here's some more. And so now we're going to see one plan after
00:09:21.280
another to address one crisis after another. You notice how he described it as a crisis.
00:09:28.180
Car accidents are a crisis. They're not a crisis. There have always been car accidents, as long as
00:09:34.800
there have been highways. And even before that, it's not a crisis. It's just life and death, which is a
00:09:43.080
part of life. But there's going to be one crisis after another to protect us from the risk of one
00:09:50.260
form of death after another. And though none of these plans will be successful, obviously, or will
00:09:55.900
even have the chance of being successful, they will come at the cost of liberty and dignity.
00:10:01.000
A price that many people in this country have shown themselves tragically willing to pay.
00:10:15.980
You know, the thing about kids is, as everyone knows, of course, they hate going to bed.
00:10:21.220
And it's always a struggle, especially in my house. I don't know how it is for most parents. But
00:10:25.860
in my house, bedtimes is just to keep them in the room at night when you put them down.
00:10:30.160
And they're always looking for reasons to come out. And so that's the challenge. It's
00:10:35.120
especially the case with my daughter. I mean, you have like two forms with kids. There's two
00:10:39.640
versions of this. There are the kids who you put them to bed and they're bouncing off the
00:10:43.320
walls for 30 minutes and they just fall asleep. That's the boys. And then there's my daughter
00:10:47.460
who's kind of quiet, but she'll stay up for like three hours and she'll keep trying to find
00:10:50.120
reasons to come out. And she gets kind of creative with it sometimes. So yesterday, last night,
00:10:53.640
it was like 1030 at night and she comes barreling out of her room and she's like, mommy, dad,
00:11:01.380
I got to tell you something. And I thought it was like an emergency or something. I don't
00:11:04.320
know what it was. I got to tell you something. I said, okay, what is it? Did you know that
00:11:08.840
snails have 15,000 teeth? And also dolphins have more teeth than sharks? No, I didn't know
00:11:17.120
that. Thank you for the update. I'll make sure to keep that in mind. Now, please go
00:11:21.920
to bed. And then later I went and Googled it and it's actually true. Snails have 15,000
00:11:26.220
teeth. Learn something new every day from your kids at 1030 at night. All right. So Joe Biden
00:11:31.280
officially announced the Supreme Court vacancy yesterday. And after it was, it was announced
00:11:36.780
unofficially with Justice Breyer's, apparently not his consent originally, at least the announcement
00:11:43.600
was not with his consent. So they kind of gave him the nudge and said, hey, we're
00:11:47.100
announcing your retirement. Congratulations. You're retiring. I guess you're learning about
00:11:51.480
it too, at the same time everybody else is. So Joe Biden officially announced it yesterday.
00:11:55.200
He addressed the nation and once again, reiterated his pledge to forbid any white man from taking
00:12:03.460
Our process is going to be rigorous. I will select a nominee worthy of Justice Breyer's legacy of
00:12:10.400
excellence and decency. While I've been studying candidates' backgrounds and writings, I've made
00:12:16.300
no decision except one. The person I will nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications,
00:12:24.760
character, experience, and integrity. And that person will be the first black woman ever nominated
00:12:31.240
to the United States Supreme Court. It's long overdue in my view.
00:12:35.020
It's going to be a thorough process. And he's going to look at all the candidates as long as they're
00:12:42.580
the same race and they're all female. And of course, they're all on the far left. So a thorough and
00:12:50.140
rigorous process that will involve, you know, about like four, four potential nominees.
00:12:57.560
That's what passes for, that's a, it's not only a rigorous process. It's also, it's also a diverse
00:13:03.820
process. You know, there was this, this concept of diversity and there was a, for a while I used to
00:13:14.560
say that kind of the Democrat notion of diversity, when they say diverse diversity, what they, what they
00:13:20.740
really have in mind are a bunch of people who look different and have different skin pigments,
00:13:29.460
different shades of skin, a bunch of people all in a room saying the same thing, speaking in unison
00:13:36.200
with the same exact beliefs. That was, I used to think that that's, that's their idea of diversity
00:13:41.120
where everybody, everybody looks different, at least skin deep, but they all think exactly the same
00:13:46.960
way because there's rigorous, uh, intellectual conformity on the left. But now, now that's not
00:13:53.860
even true. I think that's probably giving them too much credit because now diverse, a diverse group
00:14:00.180
or diversity, that means a bunch of people in a room who all look the same and also think the same
00:14:05.400
way. Because as we talked about diversity now is code for not white. And that's, that's how they
00:14:15.080
could get away with like talking about an individual person and saying, whenever they, whenever they
00:14:19.920
select whichever black woman it's going to be, whichever liberal far left black woman is going
00:14:23.140
to be, uh, they're going to say, this is our, this is a diverse selection. Well, how could a single
00:14:27.760
person be diverse? That only makes sense when you understand that by diverse, they mean non-white.
00:14:33.480
So every time you hear that, just sub in non-white and all of a sudden the sentence kind of makes
00:14:38.580
sense. Um, but there, there is this, this kind of awkward reality for people on the left when they
00:14:45.780
want to make a big deal out of this. Oh, we're going to get a, we're going to get a black, uh,
00:14:48.700
nominee, uh, black female nominee. Well, we've already, we've already had female court, uh,
00:14:54.240
justices on the court and there's currently a black justice on the court. Does he not count?
00:14:59.060
Well, as the ladies of the view agreed yesterday, um, in fact, he does not count. No.
00:15:03.400
Susan Collins. Well, cause you should have the votes.
00:15:05.660
Considering the uneven kind of, uh, court we have right now, it's so important that
00:15:10.560
this is happening on a, in a time where we can get another liberal. And of course,
00:15:14.560
the representation more than anything you pointed out first black woman,
00:15:17.600
there's only been two black men in it that those numbers are a little shock.
00:15:22.060
And one doesn't really represent the black community. No, no, no. But my, my whole point is
00:15:27.400
that, but addition to additional diversity, I think is important that I just noticed as we talked
00:15:32.740
about this is whenever they talk about a potential justice, we talk about the Ivy league.
00:15:37.080
He doesn't represent the black community, by the way, the, the woman talking right there
00:15:41.260
is, is, is she, is she supposed to be the cons? I think she's supposed to be the conservative
00:15:45.020
on, am I, am I wrong? Is she supposed to be the conservative representative on the view?
00:15:50.180
Um, but Clarence Thomas, she, she represents conservatism, I guess that lady, but Clarence Thomas
00:15:57.480
does not, he's not representative of, of black people. Like, what does that even mean to begin
00:16:02.460
with? Doesn't represent black. It's a, is, is that your, your job as a, as a, as a black man is to
00:16:10.620
constantly represent, uh, are you not an individual? Do you not have your own identity? Everything you
00:16:17.260
do has to represent and represent in what way? Is there some established consensus among all black
00:16:25.300
people about what, uh, what they all are supposed to think and feel? And so your job as a black man
00:16:31.260
is to never think or feel anything outside of that. Just removing the individual identity from
00:16:39.560
people. That's another part of the diversity plan on the left. All right. Um, here's another diverse
00:16:45.560
person, uh, from the New York post, Amy Schneider's jeopardy winning streak has finally come to an end
00:16:50.660
last week. The 42 year old made history when, and I'm reading, I'm just reading the language
00:16:55.480
from this article. Um, otherwise I wouldn't be choosing this language myself last week. The 42
00:17:02.360
year old made history when she won her 39th game and became number two on the game show's consecutive
00:17:09.000
winning list and the winningest woman of all time. But her time at the top ended Wednesday when she lost
00:17:16.040
to, uh, Roan Talsma, a librarian from Chicago. Um, and lots of jokes can be made here and have
00:17:25.160
already been made. So I'm late to it saying maybe the final category was what is a woman? It wasn't
00:17:29.220
the final category was countries of the world. And, um, and then, uh, now Schneider trails only Ken
00:17:35.500
Jennings, 74 wins on the long running game shows consecutive wins list. But she quote unquote is now,
00:17:43.980
uh, the, the number one champion woman contestant of all time. And the second place, uh, woman
00:17:52.480
trying to find her on here. There was a quote, maybe I cut it off. The second place woman who's
00:17:57.300
really the first woman, she, she, the actual, she congratulated the fake she for, you know,
00:18:04.480
supplanting her as the, the top female jeopardy contestant of all time, because that's what she
00:18:09.680
has to do. Do you think the, the, the woman who actually is the best female jeopardy contestant
00:18:15.520
of all time, you think she's happy about this, that her place has been taken from her by a man?
00:18:21.440
No, but she has to pretend that way. So now she's the top, uh, uh, now she's number two and the man
00:18:27.040
is number one for, for female, um, uh, contestants. And I have to just complain about this again,
00:18:34.640
because the New York post, I guess would consider it to self to be a just kind of mainstream media
00:18:41.220
outlet, but I've read plenty of articles in supposedly conservative outlets about this story
00:18:49.080
about, uh, Amy Schneider. And in the vast majority of them, even these conservative outlets are using
00:18:57.000
the preferred pronoun for Amy Schneider for, for calling a man, a woman. And they do this as I've
00:19:05.840
complained about many times, they do this, many of these conservative outlets, even while pretending
00:19:11.580
to oppose this, they'll report on Leah Thomas over at, uh, university of Pennsylvania, crushing the female
00:19:19.800
competition and report on it in a negative way. Like this is a bad thing.
00:19:25.120
Female sports are being destroyed by this, everything else. And yet they'll still use the
00:19:33.100
preferred pronoun. I've read plenty of commentary pieces by conservatives saying, this is terrible.
00:19:39.180
Females, women's sports are under attack because of people like Leah Thomas. She is crushing the
00:19:47.420
competition. Well, do you see you've just destroyed your argument? You've, you've surrendered the
00:19:52.340
point. It's over now. The moment you agree with the language you choose to use, the moment that you
00:20:00.200
agree that this in fact is a woman, it's what is, what are you arguing about?
00:20:08.140
Just immense cowardice, even among conservatives. And I, I use that, I use that phrase conservative,
00:20:15.400
uh, very, very loosely. I think we need to put, we need to put scare quotes around that. Like we do
00:20:18.980
around she when talking about Amy Schneider or Leah Thomas, because this is not just compromising
00:20:25.380
with the left. This is not you. There's plenty of that has happened in recent years, but this is
00:20:32.420
you adopting far, far left radical ideas and not just far left radical ideas, but far left radical ideas
00:20:41.840
about basic facts of existence. You are, you are adopting their premise in the most extreme ways
00:20:52.420
about basic facts of reality. The moment you do that, you're on their side. I don't care what else
00:20:59.080
you have to say. I don't care what your other positions are. I would go so far as to say, I don't,
00:21:05.900
you could be strongly in favor of, of, uh, gun rights. You could be anti-immigration. Uh, you
00:21:12.320
don't like high taxes, small government, all that kind of stuff. You can even call yourself pro-life
00:21:18.220
and go to the March for life. But if you're going to start calling a man, a woman, then you're on the
00:21:26.360
left because you have agreed with their version of reality. And it's a version of reality where,
00:21:38.040
you know, all of their other ideological points sprout from that. This is, this is the root here
00:21:45.460
and everything else is a branch from that root because leftism is all about relativism. It's the
00:21:52.960
worship of the self. That's why this gender stuff is so important to them because they want to
00:21:59.500
establish that reality itself is subject to an individual's whims. If I feel a certain way,
00:22:06.900
I can change reality. Reality will change itself according to my whims. If you agree with that
00:22:16.080
by calling a man, a woman, because that's what they want to be called,
00:22:19.640
then you've given up the whole game. You are in no coherent way, a conservative at that point.
00:22:28.520
What are you conserving? I think there are many things that need to be conserved in this culture,
00:22:33.900
but to begin with, we have to conserve reality. If we're not conserving that, then, then we lose
00:22:38.920
everything. So you can't say, okay, I'll give up reality, but I really care about gun rights.
00:22:44.760
Well, good for you. Go to Antifa meeting and tell them about that. You're not on our side.
00:22:54.320
All right. This is a video that I played for you probably almost a year ago and it's going viral
00:22:59.060
again for whatever reason. So I want to play it again because any, any, any excuse to play this,
00:23:05.880
I think is, uh, is worthwhile. This is trans affirming Dr. Johanna Olson Kennedy. She's very
00:23:12.080
prominent in her field. And this is her talking about, um, performing these surgeries, these
00:23:18.220
mutilation procedures on, on kids and explaining why it's actually perfectly fine to do. And it's
00:23:22.740
all good. Listen, actually people make life altering decisions in adolescence all the time,
00:23:31.980
all the time. And honestly, most of them are good. It's just the bad ones that we talk about.
00:23:37.180
Oh my God, the cinnamon challenge. Right? I mean, why do we know about it? Cause it's,
00:23:41.880
it's a thing and it's, it's not, it's not common. Like most teenagers aren't eating cinnamon,
00:23:46.120
right? But some are and they're on YouTube and that's stupid, but we don't put on YouTube the
00:23:51.120
things that are really good decisions. Right? Oh my gosh, my kid took the essay teens, not a very
00:23:57.620
exciting afterschool special. Right? But so what we do know is that adolescents actually have
00:24:04.320
the capacity to make a reason, logical decision. And here's the other thing about chest surgery.
00:24:10.620
If you want breasts at a later point in your life, you can go and get them.
00:24:17.680
It's a, I've heard that clip many times. It's, it doesn't get any less horrifying,
00:24:22.100
especially when you consider that this, this is not some fringe character here. This is a prominent
00:24:29.380
person in this, in this field of mutilating kids. And what does she say? She says, uh, Hey,
00:24:36.320
kids, kids, kids make responsible decisions all the time. They take the SATs,
00:24:42.340
which is pretty revealing that that's the example she gives for responsible decisions made by kids.
00:24:48.940
Cause guess what? That's not a decision that kids make their parents make that for them.
00:24:54.620
I took the SATs. You think I wanted to, if it were up to me, I would not have taken them.
00:25:02.900
Um, but my parents said, you got to take the SATs.
00:25:06.700
So that is something that is forced on you as a kid. And even the kids who want to take the SATs or
00:25:13.500
quote unquote, want to do responsible things. It's only because they've been conditioned that way,
00:25:21.820
That's part of parenting is not only telling kids what to do, but, but, uh, getting them to a point
00:25:33.140
through moral formation where they want to do the good things.
00:25:39.080
But as a parent, you say, even if you don't want to do it, even if you're so immature that you still
00:25:44.220
don't want to do this, this very good thing, that's going to help you. I still am going to force
00:25:47.740
you to do it because it's for your own good. That's what we do with kids. Um, but Dr. Olson
00:25:58.500
Kennedy says that, well, kids, they can, they can make life altering decisions. And why? Well,
00:26:04.660
because you can always reverse it. She says, which is not true by the way, you know, when you chop off
00:26:10.720
a part of your body, it does, you don't get it back. We don't grow it back. We're not lizards
00:26:14.880
regrowing a tail or whatever. So what they can do, and there are a great many former train quote
00:26:23.780
unquote trans kids who are now adults and are, and are looking into procedures like this because
00:26:28.460
they're experiencing regret. And we haven't even seen the half of it yet. We haven't even seen a
00:26:33.920
fraction of what's coming because the, the adults now who are called D transitioners who are experiencing
00:26:42.620
regret. Um, and they transitioned as kids, they were still pretty early in the fad. You know,
00:26:50.820
if they transitioned, whatever, eight years ago, seven, eight years ago, right now there is a whole,
00:26:56.920
there is an avalanche that's coming because the kids today are the ones who are growing up. You
00:27:04.200
know, a, a, a five-year-old today is among the, the, the, the first group of five-year-olds to grow
00:27:11.540
up in, in a, in a culture where this stuff is fed to them at that young of an age. And so there's
00:27:19.280
going to be a lot more coming in the future. And what they're going to discover is that actually you,
00:27:24.060
you cannot regrow. You can't, you can't reverse that. You know, when you go in and you have your
00:27:31.300
breasts chopped off, that was a part of your body that is now gone, not getting it back.
00:27:38.420
What they can try to do is refashion using, you know, cosmetic procedures, some semblance of what
00:27:45.340
you had before, but it's not going to be the real thing. But she's, she's totally dismissive,
00:27:53.160
of course, of any concern that this might be bad for kids. And if you are not totally opposed to
00:27:58.940
what you just heard in that clip there, if you are not absolutely diametrically opposed to it
00:28:04.060
in every fiber of your being, then you're not on my side. I don't know whose side you're on.
00:28:11.380
This is a, you're with us or against us type of thing.
00:28:16.540
You know, when you, when you use the preferred pronouns, that woman there, that's who you're helping.
00:28:20.220
You're helping her. You're on her side. You're doing what she wants you to do.
00:28:27.700
All right. Let's look at this. A writer, Ariana Rebellini was the latest woman to try to earn
00:28:33.760
sympathy and victim points by talking about how much she hates her kids. Just wanted to show this
00:28:39.300
to you. Um, this is also becoming a trend. Uh, Ariana Rebellini says, I've been opening up about how I do
00:28:45.980
not enjoy being a mom thinking about why I feel so passionately about talking about it. And I think a
00:28:51.860
large part is my belief that normalizing slash celebrating the decision to be child free can
00:28:57.200
lead to more communal childcare. Now what we're, what we're told and people were criticizing her for
00:29:06.080
this and rightly so. And her justification was, Hey, I just being honest. And, uh, I'm just,
00:29:13.340
I'm saying what so many other people think and I'm, why can't I be honest? Well, I'll tell you why
00:29:19.420
you can't be quote unquote honest about it. First of all, this is a very, this is not honesty.
00:29:24.160
It's not honesty at all because this is you trying to fool yourself, trying to make yourself feel
00:29:31.220
better, trying to delude yourself. You have this bad thoughts, which, which, which,
00:29:39.300
which grows from a character flaw. Now, look, we all have moments as parents when, um, the parenting
00:29:47.720
job is not very enjoyable. Like when it's 10 30 at night and your kids out there talking about snails
00:29:53.360
having 15,000 teeth teeth and you just want them to go to bed so you can hang out with your spouse,
00:29:56.760
right? Like those are moments when it's not super enjoyable in those moments. But if you just hate
00:30:03.060
parenting altogether, you hate the whole thing, that is a, that's a character flaw. That's a,
00:30:10.140
that's a you problem. It's not your kid's fault. And no, it's, I have news for you. It's not normal
00:30:16.500
and it shouldn't be. That's not how most parents feel.
00:30:22.980
Many parents struggle with aspects of parenting. It can be difficult, but most parents derive a great
00:30:27.940
amount of joy out of being a parent. And if they could snap their fingers and reverse the clock
00:30:35.600
and not be parents anymore, they wouldn't do it. That's most parents. So the reason why you feel
00:30:41.560
this way is because you're so intensely selfish. So this is coming from your selfishness and that's
00:30:49.400
not a good thing. That's a character flaw. Why does she put it out there in the open? Um, and she's
00:30:54.540
being honest. Well, yeah, maybe she's being honest about how she feels, but she wants to fool herself.
00:31:01.620
And so she puts it out there so that other people who are also selfish can say, Oh, I feel the same
00:31:06.100
way. And she can take solace in the fact that there are other selfish, miserable people out there
00:31:11.600
and they can form their own little community, their own support group. This, this is one of the,
00:31:17.900
one of the great problems with the internet, by the way, is that people can take any dark,
00:31:23.600
twisted thought idea desire that they have, and they can just go out into the internet and find
00:31:32.140
other people who, who, uh, share in that darkness with them and then convince themselves that it's
00:31:39.020
not darkness at all. It's perfectly normal because there are other people. Whereas in the past, there's
00:31:44.580
so much that, you know, in the past without the internet, um, you know, you probably, if you felt this
00:31:50.600
way, you hated being a parent, you weren't going to go around in public and announce that to people
00:31:55.460
directly face to face. You just keep it to yourself like you should. And you would feel alone in that
00:32:01.880
feeling and it'd be very isolating, but that's good. And there would be, there'd be a stigma attached
00:32:08.180
to it. And that's also good because it would, it would maybe propel you to make the changes that
00:32:12.740
you need. So you don't feel that way anymore. Because by the way, yeah, oftentimes your feelings
00:32:18.600
are your fault. You know, you have indulged in your selfishness. And so that's why you feel this
00:32:24.720
way about parenting. That's on you. And of course, the other problem is that your kids are going to
00:32:30.680
see that one day. So maybe something all parents should keep in mind before you go out in public on
00:32:36.660
the internet complaining bitterly about your kids and how you wish you weren't a parent.
00:32:42.960
Your kids maybe can't read right now, but one day they will. And they're going to see, oh, mom,
00:32:47.080
uh, mom hated me. And you know, here's what's going to happen. Your kids are going to see that
00:32:52.960
and start to really realize it. And in fact, even if you don't announce it on the internet,
00:32:57.900
if you hate your kids and you hate parenting, your kids eventually will come to understand that about
00:33:03.000
you. And when they come to understand it, it's going to be right around the time when, you know,
00:33:11.260
they're, they, they're not as challenging to have around because young, usually parents complain like
00:33:16.940
this when their kids are younger and they have, they're very needy. They have a lot of needs and
00:33:20.440
you're selfish. So you don't have to meet anybody else's needs. Well, as kids get older and they become
00:33:25.480
like adults, now they don't have those same needs. And now it could be a lot more fun to be a parent
00:33:31.580
then you have to start having grandkids in the mix. And that's really fun. I'm told,
00:33:35.740
but it's going to be right around that time when your kids are going to start to look back.
00:33:42.220
And in this case, now they're going to see the old tweets or whatever. They're going to start
00:33:45.240
reflecting. They're going to realize, oh, she, this was a, this was a miserable parent who never
00:33:48.980
wanted me around. And now they're knocking at my door and saying, let's have a relationship.
00:33:54.000
Let's bond. Sorry. No, that's out the window. Now you had the chance to bond with me and establish
00:34:00.100
that relationship through my entire childhood. You were too immersed in your own selfishness to
00:34:04.080
do it. And it's too late now. So that's, what's going to happen. Um, one other video I want to
00:34:10.340
play before we get to reading the comments. Uh, here's a scene on an elevator that I I've encountered
00:34:19.140
situations like this on elevators, but never quite to this extent. Here's a man. Apparently this guy
00:34:23.900
tried to get on an air or I think he was already on an elevator without a mask on. And then these two
00:34:27.900
women, uh, get on the elevator next. And they have masks and they're very upset that he's not
00:34:34.560
you need to stop. Oh, I'm not getting out. I was here.
00:35:09.340
When I first saw that, I thought, is this some kind of parody?
00:35:11.280
That is too on the nose for these two white women paranoid about COVID
00:35:16.040
while they're trying to kick a black man off the elevator
00:35:21.840
Apparently, this is real, I guess, and it's quite believable
00:35:24.620
because, like I said, I've encountered not quite to that extent,
00:35:29.360
but elevators have become and have been since the start of all this
00:35:38.780
where I had one of the only times I ever got yelled at
00:35:44.620
There's maybe been three occasions, and one of them,
00:35:48.040
is when I got on an elevator not wearing a mask at a hotel,
00:35:51.200
and the guy was on the elevator with a mask with his,
00:35:53.840
I guess it was his wife, and started yelling at me,
00:35:57.620
I was like, you know, I'm not going to get off.
00:36:04.300
And there was a time early on when it kind of felt
00:36:06.780
elevators were really uncomfortable for that reason,
00:36:13.920
But now I'm getting into this enclosed environment
00:36:42.840
Maybe they can start to realize how irrational they're being.
00:36:53.160
Who makes Twitter mob fly off the handle with rage?
00:37:25.960
What do you call a man who gets himself into this predicament?
00:37:34.020
So the guy is wedged up on the median strip between the two.
00:38:01.840
That is a permanent revocation of your man card,
00:38:09.640
but this is one occasion where you might as well,
00:38:16.640
All hail to the self-described, handsome, and brilliant,
00:38:22.380
trans-Virginian, best-selling LGBTQ children's author.
00:38:25.220
I personally identify as a vaccinated, schizophrenic train.
00:38:33.200
but hopefully you make an exception for these video comments.
00:38:37.720
And then second, would you be opposed to the idea
00:38:43.020
This is one of the greatest debates in modern society,
00:38:45.520
and obviously your opinion is never wrong about anything ever.
00:38:55.180
if you're going to respect my self-identification,
00:38:59.860
and then give my preferred adjectives and pronouns.
00:39:07.640
You cannot refer to him as self-described woman.
00:39:18.580
It shows how little you know about this subject
00:39:36.200
It's the ingredients that are within the broth.
00:40:53.920
about it interferes with the bond that you need.
00:40:56.160
And that's not just a problem for speech therapists.
00:40:59.700
I imagine it's a special problem for speech therapists,
00:41:04.640
who's in a position of trying to care for children,
00:41:11.340
if you really want your students to pay attention to you,
00:41:28.200
who are good at establishing that kind of connection.
00:41:39.980
and they feel some kind of connection with you.
00:41:44.580
It's hard to establish any connection between people
00:41:46.580
when you're just a faceless phantom floating around, right?
00:41:56.540
and it's been incredibly difficult to understand others
00:42:16.600
and discriminate against people who are disabled.
00:42:23.560
who are actually being excluded from society now.
00:42:33.100
So, I would never non-ironically call anything ableism.
