The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 907 - A Nation Full Of People Who've Never Been Told No

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a serial killer was released twice from prison and then killed each

00:00:05.000 time again. The story only gets crazier from there and more infuriating from there, and it's part of

00:00:09.520 a deeper cultural trend that goes beyond the justice system that I want to talk about today.

00:00:13.100 Also, Antifa plans to disrupt my event at Georgia Tech tonight, so that'll be fun. Plus, the U.S.

00:00:18.380 Air Force brags about its LGBTQ initiatives while war rages in Europe, and a tennis player cries

00:00:24.580 after being heckled by somebody in the audience. This emotional display, of course, means that she

00:00:29.360 is courageous, the media tells us. And finally, on Daily Cancellation, we'll discuss the Kim and

00:00:34.100 Kanye drama. It's not just celebrity gossip. I mean, it is that, but there's something more going on

00:00:39.020 here that we'll talk about as well. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:51.780 You know, mortgage rates continue to remain incredibly low. Will they stay this way throughout

00:00:56.340 the year, though? Well, it's not likely. We know that everything seems to be going up these days,

00:01:01.080 and that's why you need to call American Financing. Lock into a low rate now and potentially save

00:01:05.520 yourself up to $1,000 a month. That's $12,000 a year, and at this rate, that'll be enough to fill

00:01:10.820 up, you know, one tank of gas, but you got to take the savings whenever you can find it. Think about how

00:01:14.800 much that it could help to save money, and then give American Financing a call. There's no pressure,

00:01:20.220 no obligation, no upfront or hidden fees. Just a simple conversation around ways to save big money.

00:01:24.840 Without starting your loan over either, so you're just, you're getting in, you're getting this done.

00:01:29.480 Instead, you can choose any term, 10 years and over, whatever makes sense for your budget and

00:01:33.900 your future. It's really that simple, and you're saving money. Just do so now while rates are still

00:01:37.860 low. It only takes a 10-minute call to learn more, and if you start soon, you can skip two mortgage

00:01:42.520 payments and may close in as fast as 10 days. So call 866-569-4711. That's 866-569-4711, or visit

00:01:56.120 We begin on a Monday with an extraordinarily disturbing story that only gets worse and

00:02:01.520 worse as you begin to peel back the layers of the putrid onion. But there's a reason we're

00:02:08.000 beginning here, and it's not just for shock value, and I'll explain in a minute. But first,

00:02:11.620 the New York Times reports this. An 83-year-old Brooklyn woman, convicted twice of killing women

00:02:16.360 she lived with, was charged with murder on Thursday after investigators found a head in

00:02:20.780 her apartment that officials said belonged to a body discovered in a shopping cart last

00:02:25.140 week. The police first discovered pieces of the victim, Ms. Leiden's, remains in the early

00:02:29.380 hours of March 3rd, when a 911 caller reported that they had found body parts in a shopping

00:02:33.920 cart outside of a pawn shop at the corner of Atlantic and Pennsylvania Avenues in Brooklyn.

00:02:38.580 Police officers arrived to find a woman's torso inside a multicolored bag with a flower decal. 0.98

00:02:44.040 And they also, by the way, discovered the killer was rolling around a grocery store in one of

00:02:55.600 those carts and was sitting on top, apparently, of the severed leg of the victim. Now, that's

00:03:02.640 where we're beginning. And I said it only gets worse the deeper you go. So, you know, you're

00:03:06.880 in for a bumpy ride with this as the starting point. It turns out that the suspect, last name

00:03:11.960 Marcelin, is an actual serial killer, having been twice convicted already of murdering two other

00:03:17.700 women that we know of on two separate occasions. So, the Times continues, Ms. Marcelin has served

00:03:23.840 decades in state prison in connection with two Manhattan homicides in 1963 and 1984. In October

00:03:28.900 1963, she was convicted of first-degree murder for fatally shooting her then-girlfriend in a Harlem 0.94

00:03:34.100 apartment building. The state court judge overseeing the case imposed a life sentence after the jury

00:03:39.020 was unable to decide whether to impose the death penalty. Court filing show. In May 1984,

00:03:43.480 Ms. Marcelin was released from prison on lifetime parole, according to state records. Less than a

00:03:47.820 year later, after her body was found in a bag near Central Park, Manhattan prosecutors said Ms.

00:03:52.060 Marcelin had stabbed to death another woman that she had been living with. In 1986, she pleaded guilty

00:03:56.560 to first-degree manslaughter, was sentenced to six to 12 years in prison, state record show.

00:03:59.900 Because of her parole status, that sentence was added to the original life term. Over the next three

00:04:03.880 decades, she repeatedly sought release on parole and was denied. In a 1997 appearance before the state

00:04:07.840 parole board, Ms. Marcelin described the 1984 crime and said she had problems with women. In 2010, 0.92

00:04:14.300 the state denied another bid for parole, saying your release at this time is incompatible with the

00:04:19.180 welfare and safety of the community. But then she was released on parole in 2019 record show.

00:04:24.980 Okay, so Marcelin killed a woman, first-degree murder, sentenced to life in prison, but was released

00:04:33.560 after 20 years. Marcelin kills another woman, is sentenced to prison, added on to the original

00:04:40.580 life sentence, is released again. Even though the parole board had previously said that it would be

00:04:46.360 unsafe for society if we release you, they released them anyway. And then the killer proceeds to kill

00:04:53.140 and dismember a third victim that we know of. So apparently, big shocker here, a serial killer

00:04:59.420 does not magically become less dangerous and less deranged after sitting in a cage for a few decades.

00:05:06.120 There does not arrive a point where you can say, well, this deranged lunatic psychopath killer has been 0.91

00:05:11.320 stewing in solitary confinement for 18 years. I'm sure they're normal now, right? That doesn't happen. 0.98

00:05:18.000 It doesn't work that way. And yet the killer was released again to kill again.

00:05:22.280 But we're missing one detail here. So you've probably already maybe noted something.

00:05:28.480 You've thought probably, well, a female serial killer? That's unusual. It's not unheard of,

00:05:33.880 but it's unusual. You don't hear very many of those. And a female serial killer who targets women. 1.00

00:05:40.800 Now, that probably is unheard of. But then the New York Times offers this detail.

00:05:46.100 Miss Marcelin, who was listed as male in earlier court records, but now identifies as a woman,

00:05:52.160 according to a law enforcement official, was indicted on second-degree murder charges on Thursday

00:05:56.060 and the death of Susan Leiden, accused of dismembering her and hiding her body parts.

00:06:00.540 Okay. So this demented psychopath who dismembers women also happens to have a fetish where he likes to 0.98

00:06:08.960 pretend to be a woman. And the New York Times, not to mention the cops, the court system, everybody, 0.99

00:06:15.940 they're all making sure to respect this lunatic's delusional fetish and even participate in it. 0.99

00:06:25.120 This is some straight-up Buffalo Bill, Silence of the Lambs stuff, where this guy likes to kill women 0.99

00:06:31.960 and essentially assume their identity. It should be very clear to any rational person that his 0.96

00:06:37.900 quote, gender identity in this case, is all part and parcel with the whole psychopathic routine.

00:06:43.960 And even if it isn't, I mean, even if his masquerading as a woman has nothing to do with

00:06:48.340 his murder of women, even if he developed these two quirks independently, still, why should we care

00:06:56.460 to respect his pronouns? The whole argument for respecting someone's pronouns is that we don't want 0.97

00:07:01.360 to hurt their feelings. And I think that's a bad argument in general, but for a serial killer,

00:07:07.720 we're actually worried about hurting his feelings? Now, this is one example, an extreme example,

00:07:16.400 but also not unprecedented, of a problem that permeates our society, which is that we don't

00:07:22.780 tell people no. We're not allowed to say no anymore. Nobody says no. We're so allergic to no

00:07:30.300 that we won't even say it to a damn serial killer who asks us to affirm his alleged gender identity. 0.99

00:07:36.240 A gender identity that it just so happens will presumably mean that this killer of women will 1.00

00:07:42.460 now be put in a women's prison. Again, any reasonable person can see that this is almost certainly why he 0.99

00:07:49.660 is calling himself a woman, so that he could be housed with women, his prey of choice. And rather 0.99

00:07:57.680 than saying, no, we're not doing that, you're going to a male prison, you freaking lunatic. 0.99

00:08:04.980 Instead, the court system will say, well, okay, we respect that. I mean, we don't approve of other 0.99

00:08:09.340 things you've done, but we'll respect you here. They won't tell him no. The parole board wouldn't tell

00:08:14.860 no. The parole board told him, you're dangerous to society, but okay, you can go. Now the media

00:08:23.700 won't tell him no. The police won't tell him no. The prison system won't tell him no. This guy should

00:08:28.500 get a no delivered to him by a firing squad, but he won't get that either. Nobody wants to say no.

00:08:34.980 And we see this problem all over society, not just with transgender serial killers. On Friday, 1.00

00:08:39.300 we played a clip of a morbidly obese plus-size model, Tess Holliday model in quotes there. I put

00:08:45.220 model in quotes the same way we've got to put woman in quotes when talking about the serial killer. But

00:08:48.760 this plus-sized quote-unquote model who, though clearly weighing somewhere in the neighborhood of

00:08:54.020 400 pounds, claims to be anorexic and attends weekly therapy sessions with a counselor who affirms

00:08:59.620 that perception. You know, she apparently thinks that when she's chowing down, the two seconds 0.50

00:09:05.860 between bites count as deprivation and starvation. Like, I'm anorexic because I'm not literally eating

00:09:14.080 literally every second of the day. That's what she thinks, and she's affirmed in that view.

00:09:19.540 She's told yes. She goes to a dietician. A dietician. Once a week. Her dietician should be,

00:09:26.440 well, telling her to go on a diet. But diets mean less food, and that means telling her no,

00:09:32.080 and you can't do that. Everywhere you look, you see people who have never been told no.

00:09:38.120 You see the plump fruit of our culture's refusal to say no, our obsession with affirmation.

00:09:44.720 Every person you see walking around with purple hair and a million piercings,

00:09:48.360 demanding to be referred to as they or Xur or Zeus or whatever, is yet another testament 0.99

00:09:53.980 to our unfortunate habit of affirming everyone in everything all the time.

00:09:59.020 Speaking of people who should be told no, I'm currently in Atlanta preparing to speak

00:10:05.260 at Georgia Tech tonight in the lead up to the women's swimming championships where biological

00:10:10.300 male Leah Thomas will compete. Now, I'll be talking, among other things, about the beauty 0.96

00:10:14.960 and value of the word no. Now, Leah Thomas is obviously not a serial killer, but he benefits

00:10:19.060 from the extreme ideologically fueled permissiveness in our culture. And the primary victims

00:10:27.860 of that relentless affirmation happen to also be women. I'll be speaking up in protest of his

00:10:34.820 participation and also to explain why it's wrong and to make some points that go beyond sports,

00:10:40.520 because this isn't about sports fundamentally. This is really about truth and about learning to say no.

00:10:46.640 No to the nonsense, because we all know that it is nonsense. Even most of them on the left know that

00:10:52.220 it's nonsense. And yet we're supposed to cooperate with it anyway. We're supposed to abandon all at

00:10:57.740 once the fundamental truth that all of us know and have always known. And we're supposed to do it

00:11:04.100 for no other reason than the fact that it will hurt Leah Thomas's feelings if we don't. And of course,

00:11:09.000 his feelings are the only feelings that matter. His feelings and the feelings of other trans people. 0.98

00:11:14.440 I guess I should clarify. I say we don't tell people no anymore. It's only certain people we don't say

00:11:18.640 no to. If you belong to certain categories, you don't get the no. Now the other women on his team, 0.98

00:11:25.800 they get a no. Because his feelings, for some reason, are supposed to outweigh the feelings of

00:11:31.980 women who don't want their sports destroyed, who don't want their privacy invaded, who don't want 1.00

00:11:36.520 their very identities appropriated and stolen and cheapened and turned into a costume. The feelings

00:11:43.920 of a million women are dust when stacked up against the feelings of one gender-confused man.

00:11:50.720 All of reality is dust. The truth is dust. Biology, everything, all of it is to be discarded

00:11:56.480 for one trans person's feelings. Well, I think the answer to that should be no. 1.00

00:12:01.960 I urge everyone to say no. Don't affirm what you know are lies. Don't cooperate with what you know

00:12:09.960 is wrong. Don't abandon what you know is true. Don't pretend to believe what you don't believe.

00:12:17.760 It takes some courage to say no in this world. It's a word that's not said nearly enough.

00:12:22.900 A word that a guy like Leah Thomas has probably never heard in his life.

00:12:26.140 But he needs to hear it. All of the gender ideologues need to hear it.

00:12:31.300 All of the liars and frauds trying to push and coerce and shame us into surrendering our common 0.97

00:12:37.340 sense in so many areas of life. All of the cry bullies using emotional blackmail because they have 0.96

00:12:44.680 no arguments. Everyone demanding that we pretend to believe what we don't believe.

00:12:49.360 pretend what is true, what is not true. All of them everywhere need to hear it.

00:12:57.800 No, that's the word. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:13:08.200 Well, you've heard plenty about inflation, of course. And the thing is, when inflation is at 7%

00:13:12.240 like it is now, thanks to Biden, the paper money in your wallet is losing value and it's losing value

00:13:18.520 fast. You can just feel it like you should, if you have money in your wallet, you should just feel

00:13:22.040 it getting lighter by the second. Today, an ounce of gold though is worth $1,900. It was worth about

00:13:27.900 300 an ounce in 2000. So I've been telling you for a while now that you can buy gold from Birchgold.

00:13:34.300 It's your hedge against inflation. It's your protection against all the madness happening in

00:13:39.440 the economy right now. But did you know there's another way to hedge against inflation? Buy silver

00:13:43.700 from Birchgold. Don't let the name confuse you. You can get silver as well. Silver is also considered

00:13:48.000 real money. And historically speaking, it's extremely undervalued right now. It's an industrial

00:13:52.260 metal that's in high demand for everything from electric cars to solar panels. Demand is only

00:13:56.660 going to rise. And some analysts suggest that there's an unusual dislocation in price that may

00:14:01.460 present very real opportunities for silver to rally over the next two years. Regardless, silver like gold

00:14:06.500 is never going to zero. The American dollar, it's currently going into the toilet while precious

00:14:11.480 metals are rising in value. So real simple call here. Call Birchgold. They're the only company I

00:14:16.440 trust. Don't wait. Start diversifying today. Text Walsh to 989898 to get a free info kit on buying gold

00:14:22.340 or silver in a tax sheltered account. There's no obligation to get this info. Text Walsh to 989898

00:14:27.780 to get your free info kit now. Well, we'll start here. As mentioned, I'll be speaking at Georgia Tech

00:14:34.500 tonight. Looking forward to that. Journalist Andy Ngo has a scoop here as he's, you know, of course,

00:14:41.440 part of what he does so well is keeping track of Antifa and what they're up to. So I learned from

00:14:47.280 him today. He put the tweet out. It says, the Atlanta, Georgia sell of Antifa is using Twitter

00:14:53.780 to try and organize a direct action to stop Matt Walsh's speaking event today at Georgia Tech.

00:14:58.720 One of the strategies so far by an Antifa furry member is to hoard all the tickets with fake signups.

00:15:06.240 So this is a this is someone who's in Antifa and they're also a furry. And those things often go

00:15:11.800 hand in hand. By the way, not to harp on it or anything, but speaking of people who have never

00:15:18.240 been told no, you know, furry, that's that's another example of what happens when you've got someone

00:15:22.940 their whole life. Like no one has ever sat them down and said, no, stop this. This is insane. What

00:15:27.640 the hell is wrong with you? No one's ever said that. And so now these are adults running around 0.98

00:15:32.300 in furry costumes doing God knows what. In any case, so the Atlanta Antifa sell, they tweeted

00:15:41.180 this. This is what they tweeted. Heads up, transphobic propagandist Matt Walsh is speaking

00:15:45.140 on Georgia Tech campus tomorrow evening in an event sponsored by the far right leadership

00:15:49.400 institute in Turning Point USA. If tech students are organizing a counter, we'd be happy to boost

00:15:54.260 to boost it, reach out. And then some other Antifa members are saying that they're going to

00:16:00.860 that now they're they're trying to buy up all the tickets so that there won't be room

00:16:05.380 for actual, you know, for people actually want to listen to the talk. I say buy the tickets.

00:16:09.200 Tickets are free. Of course, we're not going to sell tickets to an event like this. But

00:16:12.780 we do, you know, you have to register ahead of time because there's only there's only so

00:16:15.400 much room in the room. And so their tactic and we saw them do this at down at University

00:16:20.940 of North Texas where they got in there first. However, I don't know if they registered ahead

00:16:27.740 of time or what for that particular talk, but they got in there first and they were

00:16:30.980 the only ones in the room. All the people that wanted to get to the talk couldn't get

00:16:33.760 in. And then they just shut the talk down by chanting and screaming and spitting and

00:16:37.980 doing all this kind of stuff. So that's their plan. That's what they're going to try to do

00:16:40.840 tonight. Now, they're going to run into some problems trying to do it to me for a few reasons.

00:16:46.220 One of them being that, you know, I think we had so far we have something like 700 people

00:16:50.140 trying to register for this event. There's only there's, you know, like room for less than half

00:16:53.840 of that in the room. So if they want to if they want to keep everybody out, they're going to have

00:16:58.000 they have to organize and take up a lot of these registrations, which I don't think they've been

00:17:04.200 able to do, but we'll see. But the other thing is, listen, doesn't matter what they do. And I want

00:17:10.220 you to understand this. OK, if you're in Antifa or you're on the left or whatever, you don't like

00:17:15.280 the fact that I'm coming to speak at Georgia Tech. You don't like the fact that I'm coming to speak

00:17:18.320 anywhere else. And I've got a whole college tour coming up this this spring. I'll be going down,

00:17:22.760 by the way, to University of North Texas, where all that madness happened. I promised you, I told

00:17:27.280 you I'm going to go and I'm going to go and I will be there probably sometime mid-April. We're working

00:17:31.160 out the details right now and I'll let you know more about that soon. But I'm coming to speak at

00:17:35.620 these events and you don't want me there. Well, I just want you to know there's literally nothing

00:17:39.340 you can do to stop it. I will be there and I will say my piece no matter what you do. I will still be

00:17:45.000 there and I will still say what I came to say one way or another. You start making a scene and I

00:17:50.920 got to wait for you to get carried out of the room by cops. That's fine. And then I'll just resume

00:17:55.320 like there's there's you can make an ass of yourself. You can make a fool of yourself 1.00

00:17:59.000 that that you can do all that. But you can't stop me from speaking. It's not going to happen. 0.99

00:18:04.800 Cannot happen. Now, the other option that you could try, I'll give the same challenge to Antifa

00:18:12.020 that I give to every, you know, any any college campus I go to because there is a Q&A session

00:18:18.920 afterwards. So if I'll make the same deal. In fact, I'll go even farther this time.

00:18:26.800 If you're on the left and you show up to this event and you can provide a definition of the word

00:18:34.420 woman that is coherent and that is also consistent with your left wing ideology, with gender ideology,

00:18:41.140 like if you could give a gender ideology consistent definition of woman, that's also coherent and

00:18:46.200 makes sense. If you can do that, then I will retire from public speaking on the spot. I will renounce

00:18:53.680 my conservative ideals. I will pledge allegiance to the Antifa flag right then and there. If you can do

00:19:01.640 that. That's the deal. Let's see. All right. So war continues to rage in Europe. You might be feeling

00:19:14.100 a little bit uneasy right now, but if you are, take heart. Just know that our enemies around the world

00:19:20.220 are shaking in fear, terrified to realize that our military has far, far superior LGBTQ initiatives. 0.74

00:19:29.640 You know, that's, we've got them beat. And I can imagine over in Russia and China and across the

00:19:36.440 world, they're looking at this and they're saying to themselves, um, look, there's only so much we can

00:19:42.540 get away with because these Americans over there, I mean, they've got so many LGBTQ initiatives in

00:19:48.460 their military that we, we just can't compete. I mean, look how inclusive they are. Look, look at the

00:19:53.780 tolerance. They will crush us with their tolerance and inclusivity. Um, so here's a reassuring tweet

00:20:00.080 from undersecretary of the air force, Gina Ortiz Jones. She tweeted out and said, great conversation

00:20:05.780 with our LGBTQ initiatives team. They're asking the hard but necessary questions that will ultimately

00:20:11.760 make us a stronger, more inclusive department of the air force. And yes, again, this was tweeted

00:20:17.360 March 10th. So that was, you know, a couple of days ago of this year. And so this is while this

00:20:22.540 is all going on in Europe, this is what they're doing. And then you can see, unfortunately we

00:20:26.920 don't get it. We don't get a, this was a zoom meeting that they had. And we don't have a clip

00:20:31.560 of that meeting as much as I'd love to see it, but you could see the, um, you could see the people

00:20:37.080 that are participating in it. And there's someone there, you know, uh, standing in front of the,

00:20:40.880 uh, the, the, the pride flag, not just the pride flag, but the new, the, the newest most updated

00:20:47.160 and also ugliest pride flag, which is saying something. Uh, and this is what they're focusing 0.71

00:20:52.300 on now. Probably shouldn't need to explain this, I guess, but, but I will anyway, uh, or really

00:20:58.960 reiterate because anytime I bring this up, I tweeted this out yesterday and, um, there were people

00:21:05.960 saying, well, Hey, it doesn't matter because whether you're gay, straight, lesbian, transgender,

00:21:14.420 you could actually be a furry. I mean, even, even then, uh, there's no reason why with modern,

00:21:18.780 with the way wars are fought in modern society, there's no reason why that would detract from

00:21:24.340 our military rightedness. There's no reason why you can't be a drone pilot, right? No reason

00:21:29.440 why you can't, the way someone put it, well, you can still push a button and launch a missile,

00:21:33.060 right? Cause it's as simple as that apparently. Um, but the problem is that number one, fighting

00:21:39.020 wars is not quite as simple as that, despite how it may seem in video games, even in modern

00:21:43.040 times. But also it's an, it's the point is, if this has to be explained, it's a matter of

00:21:50.540 priorities. Okay. So the question is, what are you prioritizing? What is, what's your, what's

00:21:58.640 your mission statement? And that matters a lot in any organization. What lies at the core

00:22:06.940 of your organization? What are you focused on primarily? Now there might be, there are

00:22:12.660 plenty of organizations that don't really have anything at the core. And those are the organizations

00:22:17.080 that tend to fall apart. They're, they're ineffective or they can only be effective for so long because

00:22:22.640 there's nothing sort of holding it all together. And so again, any, any institution, any organization,

00:22:30.060 private sector or public, you got to know what's at the core. What are we all here for? What are we

00:22:34.920 doing? What, what matters the most to us? And the people running these institutions have to know that

00:22:42.400 because that's also going to determine who they recruit, who they bring in.

00:22:46.780 And the problem right now is that the people in charge, okay, the people running the military

00:22:57.420 to include civilians and bureaucrats and everything for them, they've decided as a, as a top-down decision,

00:23:06.840 this is not a, this is not a, a, a criticism of the, the actual people in the military who are doing

00:23:12.760 the fighting, but the top-down decision that at the core of the military, they've decided it's going

00:23:19.300 to be things like inclusiveness, tolerance, diversity, um, you know, LGBT affirmation.

00:23:28.640 That's the problem that cannot be at the core of your military. That cannot be the mission statement.

00:23:34.900 The mission has to be in the mission for every military that's ever existed on the earth until now 0.90

00:23:40.520 has been to defend your homeland and kill the enemy. And when that's your mission, when you

00:23:46.560 understand that is your core mission, then the other thing is you're going to be recruiting people

00:23:50.500 who are the best at that. That's what you're worried about. Are you very good at defending

00:23:55.200 the homeland and killing them? Are you a killer of the enemy? Are you, are you good at that? Well, 1.00

00:23:58.980 come on board if you are. There are some other qualifications as well, but that's the fundamental

00:24:03.860 qualification. Can you do that? But now what they're saying, because, you know, someone like,

00:24:09.940 uh, Gina Ortiz Jones, she's not worried about that. She wants to know, well, are you affirmative?

00:24:19.220 You know, are you progressive? That's what she cares about. And that is going to severely damage 0.94

00:24:25.180 the organization and the institution. All right. From Axios, a fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine

00:24:31.160 will be necessary in order to maintain manageable levels of hospitalizations and mild infections.

00:24:38.880 This, according to Pfizer CEO, Alberta Borla, who was on Face the Nation on Sunday.

00:24:43.960 So now we're being told by the Pfizer CEO, he's recommending that we do get a fourth shot.

00:24:49.080 In related news, the McDonald's CEO recommends that you do get French fries with your hamburger.

00:24:54.900 The CEO of Cinnabon recommends that, uh, even if you went to Cinnabon this morning for breakfast,

00:25:01.980 you could still go for dessert tonight. That's what he recommends. And so the Pfizer CEOs recommend,

00:25:06.120 yeah, sure. Keep on, keep on getting those shots. But he was interviewed on Face the Nation and he

00:25:11.380 said something that it's, it's the kind of thing that even now still, if I said it, I'd probably be

00:25:17.960 banned from YouTube. So I'm going to let the Pfizer CEO say this. Listen, listen to this whole clip,

00:25:21.940 especially at the very end. Uh, let's listen. Do you think that we will every fall have to prepare

00:25:29.320 ourselves for a booster shot with COVID, just like we get a flu shot? I think so. Any variants are

00:25:35.680 coming and Omicron was the first one that was able to evade in a skillful way, the immune protection

00:25:41.980 that we're giving. But also we know that the duration of the protection doesn't last very long. So what we

00:25:49.360 are trying to do and we are working very diligently right now, it is to make not only a vaccine that

00:25:53.680 will protect again, all variants, including Omicron, but also something that can protect for at least

00:25:59.140 a year. So you've seen some of that data on a, on a fourth dose, a second booster shot. You think

00:26:05.060 it will be necessary? It is necessary. A fourth boost right now. The protection that you're getting

00:26:11.520 from the third, it is a good enough, actually quite good for hospitalizations and deaths is not

00:26:18.080 that good against infections, but doesn't last very long, but we are just submitting those data

00:26:23.300 to the FDA. And then we will see what the experts also will say. Okay. So you heard it. You heard

00:26:29.260 them there at the end. The Pfizer CEO direct quote says it's not that good against infections,

00:26:34.880 but it doesn't last very long. So, uh, that's a remarkable, not, not a surprising statement.

00:26:43.700 It was still a remarkable statement coming from the Pfizer CEO, um, given that he's supposed to

00:26:47.740 be selling the vaccine. It's, it's not that good against infections, but it doesn't last very long.

00:26:51.820 And I also love it's, it's, it's, it's, it's good enough on its own, but when you put the butt in

00:26:57.100 there instead of an, I think there's a lot of significance. I don't mean to put too fine a point

00:27:01.920 on it, but there's some significance to his use of the word, but instead of and. So like you could

00:27:07.260 have said, it's not that good against, against infections and it doesn't last very long. Okay.

00:27:11.540 But it's not that good against infections, but it doesn't last very long. So the butt makes it sound

00:27:15.780 like the next part is the upside, right? So you start with the downside, not that good against

00:27:21.500 infections, but, and then you're, you're waiting for the upside and the butt is, but it doesn't last 0.59

00:27:26.860 very long either. So it's not that good against infections. Also it, it, it, it wears off almost

00:27:31.140 immediately. So that's the good part. Um, so it's as if he's saying it, I'm not, it's as if he is

00:27:37.160 saying that, um, yeah, this thing is useless, but the good news is it won't be in your system for very

00:27:42.520 long. Anyway, it's as if he's saying that as if I'm not saying that I'm saying it's as if he is

00:27:49.560 saying that as the CEO of Pfizer. All right, let's move over to the, uh, the sports world.

00:27:56.060 This is from the New York post says Naomi Osaka's match at Indian Wells took an ugly turn. 0.86

00:28:01.140 On, uh, on Saturday when a heckler made an appearance now backing up for just a second,

00:28:05.660 Naomi Osaka, just for context and everything, you, you remember her. She's the tennis star who has

00:28:11.620 been, um, she was very emotional person and she has become, you know, a sort of a mascot for mental

00:28:20.180 health. And she decided, you know, she talks a lot about her mental health and she decided that she,

00:28:24.460 for a while, she can't take questions from the, from the media because she can't handle anyone

00:28:29.460 doubting her asking any questions at all. I mean, she's a, a, a star athlete globally famous and

00:28:36.100 she has, it's not that she woke up one day and found that she's a star tennis player. Um, no,

00:28:42.560 much to her credit, right? To become a star athlete, you have to pursue that with every fiber of your

00:28:47.640 being. It doesn't happen by accident. So she's worked very, very hard, very, very intentionally

00:28:51.360 to get to this point to become a world famous athlete. And so now she's a world famous athlete

00:28:56.160 because that's what she wants to be. Um, yet she cannot tolerate any questions, any criticism,

00:29:03.460 any scrutiny from the public. And that was made very clear on Saturday at Indian Wells when a heckler

00:29:12.900 started doing a little bit of heckling. And first let's, um, it's kind of hard to hear what's

00:29:17.740 happening here, but let's, let's listen first. This, this is the tennis match. And then you can,

00:29:20.980 I think you can hear the heckler and the heckler says, Naomi, you suck. Um, but let's listen to 1.00

00:29:26.400 that.

00:29:35.660 Thank you.

00:29:44.500 Thank you, please.

00:29:50.980 Well, obviously some disturbance up in the stands. Something's been shouted.

00:30:05.020 Okay. So from what you can tell, it's hard for me to even hear, but there was one person who said,

00:30:09.780 Naomi, you suck. And pretty standard sports heckling going on there. Um, pretty, pretty standard stuff. 1.00

00:30:17.820 I think you'll spend 35 seconds in the stands at, uh, any football game. And you're going to hear

00:30:24.760 much worse than that. Um, directed at, it doesn't matter like who it is. It could be the best player

00:30:31.220 in the world. They're still going to get the, you suck. And again, much more colorful language as well. 1.00

00:30:36.080 So one person says, you suck. The rest of the crowd starts jeering at that person. Not Naomi, 1.00

00:30:43.860 Naomi, they're taking her side. They're taking Naomi Osaka side. So it's, you know, however many

00:30:49.940 people there's, let's say 500 people in the stands. I don't know. Um, maybe a lot. I can't imagine that

00:30:54.100 more than 500 would want to sit there and watch a tennis match. So I'm going to say 500. I can't

00:30:57.820 imagine that five even would, but whatever. If you got 500 people, one person criticize you 499

00:31:03.840 are on your side saying that you're a wonderful person. Um, pretty good ratio. You think you'd be able

00:31:09.520 to just shrug that off? Um, and we're just going to leave aside for a second again. I mean, I can't

00:31:16.080 imagine anyone going to a tennis match. The fact that like, it just seems so unnatural to be, you're

00:31:22.480 watching sports and to be sitting there so quietly to me doesn't make any sense, but still 499, let's

00:31:29.720 say to one, um, everyone loves you. One person says you suck, but Osaka can't handle it. Cannot 0.99

00:31:39.500 handle the criticism from that one. And then she doesn't do well through the rest of the match. 1.00

00:31:44.300 And she's very distraught about it. And at the end of the match, she actually, um, takes the

00:31:48.980 microphone. I guess the winner was able to address the crowd, but then she comes up cause she lost 1.00

00:31:54.660 and she takes the microphone and starts talking about, and is still crying about it and is talking

00:32:00.260 about, you know, how the, why this hurt her feeling so much. Let's listen to that.

00:32:03.720 I just wanted to say, um, um, to be honest, I've gotten heckled before. Like it didn't

00:32:21.400 really bother me, but, um, it's like heckled here. Like I've watched a video of Venus and

00:32:30.920 Serena getting heckled here. And if you've never watched it, you should watch it. And I don't

00:32:37.400 know why, but like it went into my head and I, it got replayed a lot. Um, I'm trying not

00:32:45.840 to cry, but, uh, I just wanted to say thank you and, um, congratulations. Yeah. Just thank

00:32:55.400 you.

00:32:56.700 Okay. Well, to be honest, I was expecting something a little bit more emotionally affecting from

00:33:00.800 her, but she's very, very upset. And, uh, and she talks about apparently Serena and Venus,

00:33:06.080 uh, Venus and Serena got heckled at that same place years ago. And so she, she was thinking

00:33:10.160 about that as well. Um, this is, I, it's hard to believe that someone could get to this point

00:33:19.120 in sports and athletics and be this emotionally fragile. It's, it's really hard to believe

00:33:28.200 because all along the way you, you, in order to get better, you, you have to be able to

00:33:36.060 endure criticism. Like there's, you would think there wouldn't be a one successful athlete on the

00:33:43.320 planet who has not been subjected to all kinds of criticism because that's part of, of, of getting

00:33:50.340 better. And it's such a grueling thing to be, to perfect your craft in any field, but especially

00:33:56.860 in front of us and you're, you're performing in front of people, you know, you're in front

00:34:00.620 of an audience, you're a public figure. So you would think that you would just be used

00:34:05.220 to it by now. Um, that's, what's extraordinary to me. And yet this is someone who even after

00:34:14.840 all this time just is not able to endure any kind of criticism at all. And look, here's

00:34:18.800 the thing as, as always with these sorts of things, if the story was just that, what you

00:34:25.960 just saw, a tennis player is insulted by one person in a crowd and starts crying about it.

00:34:32.780 If that was it, then I wouldn't have much to say about it. I'd say, okay, well, whatever.

00:34:36.920 She, and also she's, she is a woman. And so women are a little bit more emotional. And so I gave her 0.87

00:34:40.860 a little bit more leeway there. You certainly see this kind of thing a lot more often with female 1.00

00:34:44.660 athletes than you do with male athletes. That's for sure. But there's no difference between men and

00:34:48.360 women, of course. Right. And yet all of the, of the crying because of criticism and everything,

00:34:52.540 or most of it anyways, among female athletes. But anyway, if that's all it was, then I would,

00:34:58.340 I wouldn't have much to say about it. But the problem is in the reaction to it and the media

00:35:04.380 comes along and, um, and says, uh, that, that actually this is courageous, that we are supposed

00:35:13.300 to not just like feel sorry for her. Even that would be a bridge too far for me. I'm sorry,

00:35:19.040 but I, I, I cannot really pity you that much when you're rich and famous and almost everybody loves

00:35:25.260 you, but like five people don't. That's I, I don't have a lot of pity available. There are a lot of

00:35:29.940 people in this world who need pity. And I just don't have any, any left in store for you in that

00:35:35.400 position, but that's not even what they're saying. They're not saying pity or they're saying,

00:35:39.820 admire it as courageous. Somebody who cannot endure any criticism, who cries at any criticism,

00:35:45.400 one person in 500, 499 lover, one person doesn't, she starts crying about it, focusing on that.

00:35:50.600 And that's courageous. We're told that's what the media has been telling us yet more think pieces

00:35:55.160 written. Uh, there was, there was one, I was just reading in the indie star by a sports writer saying

00:36:01.420 it was something like the headline was, you know, this, this event shows us what courage looks like

00:36:06.720 and what it doesn't look like. And he was, he was making the point that the heckler is not courageous.

00:36:11.580 It's not courageous to sit there and heckle someone. Well, of course it's not. No one's saying

00:36:14.640 it is, but Naomi Osaka, Osaka, she, she is courageous. I just don't see it. Before we get to the,

00:36:23.800 to, uh, the comment section, one last note here. Maybe, maybe we're talking about what, what courage

00:36:30.100 is not. Here's what courage actually is. This is from the wall street journal. It says one of the

00:36:33.820 greatest maritime mysteries of modern times was solved when a team of explorers said they had

00:36:37.420 discovered the wreck of Ernest Shackleton ship endurance, which disappeared under the Antarctic

00:36:42.100 sea ice in 1915. An international team of marine archeologists and scientists located the wreck 3000

00:36:48.060 miles or rather meters, I should say, not, not miles meters under the Weddell sea, approximately four

00:36:53.920 miles South of the position originally recorded when the endurance sank. Um, so this ship has been

00:37:00.380 lost for over a hundred years and they finally found it, which is really fascinating, I think.

00:37:07.060 But I mentioned this because the story itself is simply incredible. If you don't know about Ernest

00:37:11.320 Shackleton, you should, because he's one of the great leaders in history, one of the great men.

00:37:15.760 Um, and it's just a damn crime that more isn't taught or anything taught really about Shackleton in 0.53

00:37:21.940 school. And it is a great example of what actual courage looks like. It's, it's courage on a level that 0.84

00:37:27.660 most of us will never achieve. We'll, we'll never get anywhere near, but it's good to have that sort

00:37:32.800 of as your North star, uh, to know where you should be headed. So just to summarize back in the early

00:37:37.760 20th century, 1915, Shackleton devises his plan to trek across the entire Antarctic continent. He wants

00:37:44.580 to travel across it all the way. And he decides to do this because someone else had already gone to

00:37:49.860 the pole. Originally he wanted to go to the South pole. Uh, but there was a race to the South pole,

00:37:53.740 a guy named Amundsen, a Norwegian beat the British team there. And, um, the British team after arriving

00:37:59.220 at the pole, seeing the, you know, another country's flag there, they know that they'd been

00:38:03.500 beaten and then they have to walk back across, you know, Antarctica having lost. And then most of them

00:38:09.200 die on the way, you know, they starve and freeze and it's a horrible thing. So anyway, Shackleton sees

00:38:14.440 that the pole has been conquered and he sees that his fellow Brits have died horrible deaths down there.

00:38:18.500 And he says, you know what? I'll go anyway. Only I'll be the first to travel all the way across the

00:38:22.840 continent, not just to the pole. Um, and he puts together a team. He gets on a ship with the

00:38:26.720 prophetic name endurance, ends up getting stuck in the ice before reaching the continent. So they

00:38:31.020 spend almost an entire year in the ice on this ship, eating into their provisions, freezing in

00:38:37.320 the cold. Finally, the ice starts to melt. It's moving around and it crushes the ship and it starts

00:38:42.060 to sink. And that's how it ended up at the bottom of the Weddle Sea. So now, now they have to abandon ship.

00:38:46.940 They're on an ice flow down in the most desolate region of the world, literally just sitting now on the ice.

00:38:52.840 And they sat there for another two months just on the ice in Antarctica, right? Finally,

00:38:57.040 they realize that the ice has drifted close enough to an island that they could make a break for it.

00:39:00.960 So they sail 300 miles on these little rickety lifeboats to this island. They make it there

00:39:07.040 alive, but the island can't sustain them for very long because it's barren and desolate.

00:39:11.620 So Shackleton knows that some of them are going to have to go for help. Closest help is South 0.52

00:39:16.740 Georgia, which is an island which is about 700 nautical miles away from where they currently were.

00:39:22.840 So he decides that along with the team, I think five people, he's going to get on this lifeboat

00:39:27.060 and go 700 miles across open ocean, across some of the harshest and roughest seas on earth

00:39:33.800 to try to get help. And he also came in mind, it's like a small island he's trying to make it to,

00:39:38.940 navigating. It doesn't have GPS or anything, right? So if he misses the island, which would be

00:39:43.800 very easy to do, then he's just going to be lost at sea and they're going to die of starvation if

00:39:47.060 they don't drown in a storm before that. So he goes 700 miles, makes it to South Georgia,

00:39:52.820 makes it to civilization, and then immediately gets on a ship and goes back to rescue the rest

00:39:57.460 of his men. It took like three tries and he got them all. Nobody died. He kept everybody alive.

00:40:02.080 This is two years stranded in Antarctica. And he kept everyone from dying. He kept them from going

00:40:08.520 insane. He kept them from killing each other, not a small feat. Just a remarkable tale of leadership and

00:40:13.280 bravery. That everyone should, this is like one of these guys, you should be a household name.

00:40:17.920 And most kids have never heard his name, which is a damn, I say again, it's a crime, I believe. 0.91

00:40:24.780 But there's your bit of Monday inspiration. We started with, you know, serial killers dismembering 0.97

00:40:28.680 people. We got to a little bit of inspiration and then we're going to go negative again here in

00:40:31.620 a moment. But let's get first to the comment section. Okay, so dailywire.com slash sweet baby

00:40:46.440 comments. And let's go immediately to clip eight. All right, sweet daddy Walsh, your wish is my command.

00:40:56.740 Oh my gosh. Now I think, so he got sweet baby getting tattoos. And I mentioned like three days

00:41:13.500 ago, I think it was because someone got the sweet baby gang custom license plate. I said, if you're

00:41:18.320 really dedicated, you'll get the sweet baby gang tattoo. But I said, I was joking. And I said, I will

00:41:22.680 not be held responsible if someone actually goes out and does it. And so this member of the sweet

00:41:27.160 baby gang has gotten on both legs, the sweet baby, me as a, as a baby in a diaper. And then the other

00:41:35.760 was a sweet baby gang right on the front of his like thighs for all the world to see. And I think 0.62

00:41:42.540 those, those are real, those real tattoos. Those are real. My screen here is kind of small, but you

00:41:48.740 could see the red skin irritation. So I think that tells us this isn't, this is not henna or a stick

00:41:53.220 on tattoo or something. He got the real tattoo. Oh man. Well, congratulations, sir. I mean, it's,

00:42:00.100 first of all, beautiful art. Okay. Beautiful body art there. I think we can all agree on that, but

00:42:09.280 I don't, I don't, I don't know what else to say. I'm, I'm speechless in the best possible way.

00:42:18.500 But I, again, I will not be held responsible for that. When you want to get, when you want to get

00:42:22.800 the tattoo removed in six months, don't come asking me for the funds. Okay. Well done though. Well done,

00:42:28.580 sir. Okay. Let's see. Michael Knapper says, I was recently sentenced to multiple felonies and I was

00:42:36.660 shown much grace. I owned my crimes. I came to Jesus Christ while I was in jail. And after I was

00:42:40.540 arrested, I bonded out, spent the next three years changing my life. These things happened because

00:42:44.500 Jesus Christ took pity on me and changed my heart. The judge could clearly see this and gave me house

00:42:49.340 arrest instead of prison. I cried when he said that because I knew I deserved prison. People do change,

00:42:53.920 especially if God intervenes. Jussie Smollett is not one of those people. His sentence was a slap on the

00:42:58.840 wrist for the damage that he tried to do. He still claimed to be innocent at the sentencing. He lied to

00:43:03.360 himself and others so much leading up to the sentencing that he probably believes that he is

00:43:07.040 innocent. Right. Exactly. I mean, change begins with repentance. And I talk about how harsh prison

00:43:14.900 sentences and I'm very much, I'm a law and order kind of person. So I'm in favor of harsher prison

00:43:19.740 sentences. I think that's the kind of prison reform we need is putting people in prison, putting more

00:43:24.000 people in prison and for longer is actually what we need. And I think the chaos in our cities attests to

00:43:29.540 that. But that doesn't mean that repentance and reformation are impossible. Now, there are some crimes

00:43:34.560 where it's either impossible or we have to treat it like it is impossible. If you're a child rapist, if 0.93

00:43:39.780 you're a serial killer, then maybe you anyone I have to believe that anyone who's alive on earth, God can 1.00

00:43:46.920 change their heart. But the chances are so low that for basic societal self-defense, we have to assume that you

00:43:55.260 can never be reformed and keep you in prison forever. But there are many there are many crimes that are not like

00:43:59.660 that. And people can be reformed and and oftentimes are. But as you point out, Michael, it it has to begin with

00:44:09.200 repentance and owning what you did. Repentance begins with taking ownership of your actions, admitting that it's

00:44:17.580 wrong. That's the first step. And then you get to repentance. This is with Jussie Smollett. He's totally

00:44:25.040 unrepentant. He's not admitting even that he did it, even though everybody knows that he did. Which is why if I

00:44:31.320 was the judge in this in this case, here's what I would do. I would say, Jussie, I can give you 15 years

00:44:38.440 in prison by the law and I'm going to give you all 15. However, if you admit what you did and apologize

00:44:46.520 for, I want you to get in front of a camera or a press conference, tell everyone you did it,

00:44:52.420 explain the whole crime, admit that you did it, and you can never go back and say, I didn't really

00:44:58.320 mean it. If you do that, that I'll knock. You know, I might even knock 10 years off the sentence if you

00:45:03.440 do that. At the very least, I mean, this judge who gave 150 days in jail, at the very least,

00:45:13.460 a requirement going into that should have been, you have to admit that you did it.

00:45:20.700 And instead, they're letting this guy. That's why it's all, it's all pointless. 150 days in jail,

00:45:24.620 you know, he's not, he's not admitting that he did it. There's no repentance. He's not changing.

00:45:31.380 He'll get out of prison and you know what he'll do? He'll come up with a different hate crime hoax.

00:45:35.240 He'll do it again. All right. Let's see.

00:45:43.160 Rachel says, the most controversial thing you've ever said, quote, my wife and I have never owned

00:45:48.400 a microwave. How? Yeah, you know what? This is our one protest against modern society. This is the one

00:45:55.140 thing. It didn't start as a decision. Like we didn't, it's not that when we first got married,

00:46:00.080 we didn't put it in our vows that we go to pledge to never have a microwave. We didn't really talk

00:46:04.160 about it. We didn't have any kind of anti-microwave sentiments exactly. But it just kind of started

00:46:11.500 that way. We just didn't have a microwave. We ended up not buying one originally. And then we

00:46:14.280 realized that, you know, we don't actually need a microwave because whatever your microwave does,

00:46:17.920 there are other things in the kitchen that will perform that task probably even better than the

00:46:21.020 microwave would. And so now we've just kind of stuck with it. Now, now it has become a thing,

00:46:26.180 right? It's a conversation piece when people visit our house. We can say, you know what? Look,

00:46:32.460 no microwave. Conversations are very boring at our house, apparently. Let's see.

00:46:40.880 Okay. One other comment says, David says, hot take, Americans are experiencing exceptional levels

00:46:46.320 of stress. Rather, Americans are experiencing exceptional levels of stress. Unprecedented is

00:46:51.720 a strong term, admittedly. But it's important to recognize that modern first world people are prone 1.00

00:46:55.660 to experience undue stress in any and every situation. Somebody who has a strong grasp of

00:47:00.680 what's important and who have reasonable mental health, read, people before the last 20 years

00:47:05.460 will experience less stress because they're sane. We in the modern world, however, are not sane. So we

00:47:10.660 get unreasonably stressed out about even the most basic of things. Yeah, I mean, you raise a good

00:47:15.020 point. I think the way that I look at it, it's kind of like if a 17-year-old kid goes through a breakup

00:47:21.780 and is totally distraught and devastated and practically, you know, just utterly ruined by

00:47:30.360 it emotionally, you know that it's not a big deal and you know that they're going to get over it.

00:47:36.440 You as an adult, you know that. And you'll know that they'll have forgotten about this other person

00:47:40.360 in a month. That doesn't change the fact that they are, in fact, experiencing very real emotional

00:47:45.680 devastation. I mean, to them, it's real because this is the only life they've lived. And for them,

00:47:50.160 this is the hardest thing that's ever happened to them. And they don't have the emotional tools

00:47:53.700 necessary to deal with something like this. But what makes it so bad for the kid going through this

00:48:00.340 is not the severity of the trauma itself, which in the grand scheme of things is almost nothing.

00:48:06.440 There's really no trauma there. But what makes it bad is his limited capacity to handle bad things

00:48:13.160 and his lack of perspective. And so I think you're right that we are all sort of in that boat

00:48:19.040 as modern people. We get we're we're very stressed out. We claim to be stressed and we

00:48:23.160 actually are. But it's not because the stresses are so serious. It's just because our capacity

00:48:27.660 to deal with even the most mild inconvenience is is so diminished. And that's where all the stress

00:48:34.940 comes from. You know, the media loves to tell one side of every story, specifically the regime

00:48:39.340 approved side. That's why we've taken it upon ourselves to start our own publishing wing

00:48:43.600 called DW Books. And we're excited that one of the first books we'll be publishing is 12

00:48:47.500 seconds in the dark by Sergeant Mattingly. The book is the true story of what really happened

00:48:51.060 the night of the Breonna Taylor shooting. Mattingly, a 12 year police veteran, takes

00:48:55.360 readers inside the department's response and debunks the lies that have recklessly been

00:49:00.040 shared with the public. So, you know, it's going to be interesting. But here's the trailer

00:49:03.800 now. Check it out. It was very chaotic. It was very quick. Instantly, I knew I was shot.

00:49:09.160 Breonna Taylor, she was caught in the crossfire of those bullets. As soon as your brain's 0.75

00:49:13.620 registering, it's already over. The media got so many things wrong in this case saying

00:49:18.160 we had the wrong apartment. Her name wasn't on the warrant. She was shot and killed in

00:49:22.200 her sleep in her bed. These are lies. This is not true. And all the while you're hearing 0.92

00:49:26.900 all these outside influences from athletes and Oprah and Ellen DeGeneres and Kamala Harris

00:49:33.420 and Joe Biden, all those people coming and attacking you, putting your name on their account

00:49:38.320 saying he should be in prison. All these things that they have no idea what they're talking

00:49:41.660 about. But they have such influence. The more we attack police for doing their job,

00:49:47.200 the less good qualified police you're going to have.

00:49:50.820 When you read 12 Seconds in the Dark, you will find out the truth of what really happened

00:49:55.080 the night of the Breonna Taylor raid.

00:49:56.540 You know, in a world where voices like his are censored and stories are spun to fit the

00:50:07.920 media's narrative, 12 Seconds in the Dark is a perfect example of how important it is for

00:50:11.800 the truth to be told. The book releases tomorrow, March 15th, but it's available for pre-order

00:50:16.120 now on Amazon. So go ahead and get your book now. And speaking of great content, if you missed

00:50:20.380 the premiere of The Hyperions, then there's no need to fret. The film is now streaming at

00:50:24.640 DeadlyWire.com. That's where it's going to live now. And if you haven't seen it yet,

00:50:28.640 here's the trailer. Check it out.

00:50:30.400 Calling all Hyperions.

00:50:33.360 My name is Vista Mandelbaum.

00:50:44.560 My brother and I have taken four hostages.

00:50:47.600 Everybody against the wall.

00:50:48.900 We've come for one thing.

00:50:51.240 Our Titan badges.

00:50:52.420 Is this real?

00:50:54.840 Yes ma'am, this is real.

00:50:55.880 Is my sign in this?

00:50:57.100 Well, I want that too.

00:50:58.680 It's the police. They want to talk to whoever's in charge.

00:51:03.520 This Titan badge can grant an individual superhuman power.

00:51:08.080 Perhaps it's time for someone else to take on the responsibility.

00:51:12.860 Meet Apollo.

00:51:13.520 I'd recommend next time using your power.

00:51:20.980 I mean, yeah, if you think so.

00:51:23.620 Calling all Hyperions.

00:51:26.220 On my way.

00:51:28.080 You're making such a mess in here.

00:51:30.780 We've got a Hyperion en route. 1.00

00:51:32.580 Not a good time to look stupid. 1.00

00:51:40.900 Suit up for adventure.

00:51:49.080 She's trying to destroy me. 0.99

00:51:54.500 Next question.

00:51:55.760 How's the family?

00:51:56.860 The family is, um...

00:51:59.040 Gosh, what is it?

00:52:02.200 Marvelous.

00:52:03.060 I'm a fan for the right to do what I want!

00:52:10.880 The Hyperions is a dysfunctional family film with an 80s aesthetic, and it's definitely worth the watch.

00:52:46.060 Now, let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:52:47.340 So, those who have been living their lives blissfully ignorant of the latest celebrity gossip may or may not realize that Kanye West and Kim Kardashian recently split up.

00:53:01.940 Well, in fact, if you're a really healthy person, you may not even realize that they were ever together to begin with, but they were for nearly a decade, I think, or seven or eight years or something, and during which time they had four children.

00:53:12.400 So, a few months ago, though, Kim left Kanye, managed to be declared legally single almost immediately, thanks to the wonders of no-fault divorce laws, and then immediately started shacking up with a strung-out cartoon character named Pete Davidson.

00:53:27.500 So, Kim was parading, has been parading all around town with Pete, which doesn't sit well with Kanye, who's been very publicly attacking Pete Davidson, complaining about the divorce, making music videos where he depicts himself in claymation form, burying his wife's new lover alive.

00:53:43.400 Those sorts of things, you know, pretty standard stuff.

00:53:45.820 For her part, Kim Kardashian has claimed that all she wants is privacy.

00:53:48.820 And she made this claim while securing a multi-million dollar deal with Hulu for a new reality show about her life.

00:53:55.080 Because we all know that the Kardashians cherish nothing so much as their privacy, which is why they will only sell it to the highest bidder.

00:54:02.740 Now, all of this possibly seems irrelevant and probably uninteresting, and it is at first place.

00:54:09.740 But there's something deeper and more significant to be found, if not in the drama itself, than in the public reaction to it.

00:54:14.940 And that reaction has been almost universally negative towards Kanye West. 0.98

00:54:20.780 Everyone, especially the media, but most of the peanut gallery as well, seems to agree that Kanye is a huge jerk for constantly, you know, insulting and denigrating his wife's lover. 0.99

00:54:32.220 And for refusing to accept the fact that the marriage is over. 1.00

00:54:35.760 You know, the general consensus is that Kanye West is acting insane. 0.99

00:54:39.540 In fact, he is insane. 0.62

00:54:41.680 And that Kim Kardashian is the helpless victim in all of this.

00:54:44.940 Remember, all she wants is privacy.

00:54:47.000 So naturally, she left her husband and started publicly dating Pete Davidson 45 seconds later while working out a deal for a new reality show,

00:54:54.640 which will certainly feature many plot lines about her love life because she just wants privacy. 0.99

00:54:59.920 This consensus didn't seem to change at all yesterday when text messages were released between Davidson and Kanye,

00:55:05.900 where Davidson taunts Kanye, brags about being in bed with his wife,

00:55:09.920 and even sends a picture of himself lying in bed with his wife.

00:55:12.900 Most people on social media seem to think that it was actually very sweet of Davidson because it showed how willing he is to stick up for his lady.

00:55:22.900 Stick up for her by stealing her away from her husband and, you know, wrecking the family and then texting pictures.

00:55:29.800 I mean, just what a knight in shining armor Pete Davidson really is, you know.

00:55:33.160 Now, I've noticed in this public reaction a very distinct, what I would say is almost a feminist streak to it, 0.98

00:55:41.600 even among ostensible conservatives who have chimed in.

00:55:44.440 There's something wrong, I think, something disordered about the feelings, rather about the things that people are saying about this.

00:55:52.620 And that gut feeling on my part was confirmed yesterday when I tweeted kind of my bird's eye view,

00:55:57.580 my bird's eye hot take about all this.

00:55:59.460 And I said, this is me, it's actually totally normal and healthy for Kanye West to be extremely,

00:56:04.400 even obsessively angry about the fact that his wife is shacking up with another man.

00:56:07.420 It is, in fact, the most normal thing about him.

00:56:10.220 Now, this to me seems obvious.

00:56:12.300 Whatever else he might say about Kanye or Kim or any of this,

00:56:16.060 we should all be able to at least agree that it's understandable that a man would be extremely,

00:56:21.200 extremely angry and devastated and heartbroken and sad and frustrated

00:56:24.340 that his wife and the mother of his four children has left him.

00:56:27.760 And what's worse is now sleeping with someone else. 0.98

00:56:30.360 And worst of all, that someone else happens to look like a heroin addicted carny. 0.79

00:56:35.760 But people do not seem very understanding of that.

00:56:37.980 And it's not because of their preconceived notions about Kanye West or Kim Kardashian.

00:56:42.240 It's because of their preconceived notions about marriage.

00:56:46.660 That's what's coming out in all this.

00:56:48.000 And that's what interests me is about what all this says about marriage, right?

00:56:52.480 This was made clear, as I said, by the responses to my tweet,

00:56:55.580 most of which claimed that my opinion was misogynistic.

00:56:59.560 The marriage is over and that's it.

00:57:01.480 Everyone told me Kanye must accept it.

00:57:04.140 Kim is not his property.

00:57:05.120 Kim does not belong to him, as one person told me.

00:57:09.140 Kim can leave whenever she wants, for whatever reason she wants. 0.97

00:57:12.320 And when she does, it's Kanye's job to accept it and, as it was put to me many times, move on.

00:57:17.440 There's a woman named Rachel Greenspan who's verified on Twitter for some reason.

00:57:21.380 She summarized the perspective of many of her fellow cat ladies and their supporters.

00:57:24.660 She said, referring to my opinion, she said,

00:57:27.640 Literally, how can someone think this LMFAO?

00:57:30.660 This take isn't hot. 0.97

00:57:31.680 It's delusional and disgusting and frightening. 0.89

00:57:34.140 People are allowed to leave relationships whenever they so choose.

00:57:37.180 It's actually beyond not normal to harass and threaten your ex-partner's new partner, period.

00:57:42.900 Another woman also verified for unclear reasons.

00:57:45.440 Margot Harris said, time to delete this.

00:57:47.440 I hope your exes are safe.

00:57:49.340 Again, many other similar comments.

00:57:51.600 Now, I told Margot that I don't have any ex-wives.

00:57:54.960 I have just the one wife, and she's still my wife, and she's doing well.

00:57:58.800 In the interest of being polite, I also said to Margot that I hope her cats are fine as well.

00:58:04.540 Now, I admit, when I looked at her profile, I found out that she identifies herself as a dog mom.

00:58:09.540 So I knew that she gave off the vibes of a woman who defines herself by her pet ownership. 0.89

00:58:14.120 I just, I got the pet wrong, so I was very close.

00:58:15.840 In any case, what you find in all this is the view that marriage vows are effectively meaningless and worthless.

00:58:23.960 And they can be broken at any time for any reason.

00:58:27.040 And when they are broken, you don't even have the right to be angry about it if somebody breaks their vows to you.

00:58:33.320 The thing is that the Margos and Rachels and Kim Kardashians of the world, they hold this view about marriage and about marriage vows.

00:58:42.620 And yet, eventually, they get married anyway.

00:58:46.140 And most of the time, they don't inform their husbands that they feel this way about the union.

00:58:50.720 They don't say, hey, by the way, I don't actually think this means anything.

00:58:53.660 They also, of course, throw extravagant celebrations for their marriage, spending lots of money, demanding lots of fawning attention.

00:59:02.460 Even though they're celebrating a union that they think is pointless and which they have no intention of keeping together on a permanent basis.

00:59:10.380 This is the popular modern approach to marriage, and it's why so many marriages don't stay together for very long.

00:59:15.640 It's an approach that renders the whole exercise fruitless and futile.

00:59:19.300 It's all a charade.

00:59:20.840 You're playing house.

00:59:21.700 The vows are merely part of the ceremony.

00:59:24.960 That's it.

00:59:25.460 It's all pageantry, as far as you're concerned.

00:59:27.760 Nothing deeper going on there.

00:59:30.100 Well, that's not what marriage actually is.

00:59:31.780 In fact, contrary to the Twitter mob, actually, in a marriage, your spouse does belong to you.

00:59:38.580 I know it sounds very scandalous to say, and to the modern ears, it rings as something very horrifying.

00:59:43.940 But yeah, your spouse does belong to you.

00:59:45.760 My wife belongs to me, and I belong to her.

00:59:48.620 We belong together.

00:59:49.720 That's not just a lyric in a million pop songs.

00:59:52.140 It is that, but it's also what marriage is.

00:59:55.280 You belong together.

00:59:56.540 You made a vow to each other.

00:59:58.400 Now, if marriage is not that, if it's not where you make a vow and now you belong together and you belong in this union,

01:00:05.360 and you owe yourself to the other just as they owe themselves to you, if that's not what it is, then there's no reason for marriage to be at all.

01:00:18.780 What's the point of the marriage?

01:00:20.080 Then don't get married if you don't see it that way.

01:00:22.980 I do not have the right to just up and leave my wife on a whim because I feel like it and go play house with some other woman. 0.96

01:00:35.560 I don't have the right.

01:00:36.920 I don't have the moral right to do that.

01:00:38.540 Now, I do have the legal right with no-fault divorce.

01:00:41.920 I shouldn't have that legal right, though.

01:00:44.300 No-fault divorce gives me that legal right. 0.98

01:00:45.840 It shouldn't.

01:00:47.560 Most contracts can't be broken by anyone for any reason without any explanation or any exigent circumstances.

01:00:53.420 With most contracts, if you want to break them, then there's all kinds of parameters that have to be met.

01:00:58.760 And only under certain circumstances can that even happen.

01:01:01.420 What's the point of a contract that has no binding effect whatsoever?

01:01:06.340 If you don't, again, if you don't think that marriage binds you to the other, then don't get married.

01:01:13.820 There's no point of it, then.

01:01:16.040 The marriage contract, the most important contract of all, the one that human civilization rests upon,

01:01:21.120 why would it be the least meaningful contract of all?

01:01:29.740 Either the vow means something or it doesn't.

01:01:32.500 Either marriage is something or it isn't.

01:01:36.140 Kanye's mistake, quote-unquote, was thinking that his marriage meant something.

01:01:39.640 But that's not really a mistake at all, or it shouldn't be.

01:01:42.380 And to have this thing ripped away from you, your life torn apart,

01:01:45.360 your children deprived of the intact nuclear family that they need and have a right to, 0.86

01:01:48.780 speaking of having a right to things, your children have a right to a mom and a dad.

01:01:52.240 They have a right to an intact family.

01:01:53.800 You owe that to your kids.

01:01:55.480 You owe it to them.

01:01:56.800 They're entitled to it.

01:01:58.360 A lot of people think they're entitled to things they're not entitled to.

01:02:00.380 Here's one thing that kids are entitled to.

01:02:02.520 They're entitled to an intact family.

01:02:06.280 And when that happens to you, your spouse leaves you, tears the family apart,

01:02:10.340 it ought to devastate you.

01:02:11.800 If it doesn't, you clearly didn't take the marriage seriously to begin with.

01:02:16.660 Now, I mentioned Miss Margo's comments about my exes, hoping that they're safe.

01:02:21.180 Because clearly, I'm a violent and dangerous man due to my opinion about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

01:02:27.880 And, you know, I said that I don't have any ex-wives, but multiple people clarified

01:02:31.000 that, no, she wasn't referring to ex-wives.

01:02:33.880 She only said exes, you know, to include ex-girlfriends.

01:02:37.640 That's exactly the problem, though.

01:02:39.860 Obviously, what I'm saying doesn't apply to girlfriends.

01:02:43.400 The person you're dating has no responsibility to you.

01:02:47.120 No real commitment.

01:02:49.040 They have the same responsibility to you that they have just to everybody.

01:02:51.920 Just in general, to be honest.

01:02:53.160 I mean, you shouldn't be honest.

01:02:53.760 You shouldn't lie.

01:02:54.620 So if you're dating someone and you don't want to be dating them anymore

01:02:56.820 and you want to be with somebody else, let them know before you go and be with that other person.

01:03:01.780 Those are your basic duties and responsibilities you have in a dating relationship.

01:03:05.620 It doesn't go any deeper than that.

01:03:08.100 You can, in a dating relationship, you really can leave at any time for any reason.

01:03:13.680 And if you're the person getting left, it sucks and it's hard, but it's your responsibility to accept it and move on.

01:03:21.060 That's true of a dating relationship.

01:03:22.680 It's not true of a marriage.

01:03:25.460 A marriage is a different kind of thing.

01:03:27.280 And the fact that so many people see no distinction between marriage and dating.

01:03:32.680 They talk about partners, like, well, you know, just partners.

01:03:35.600 Well, spouse or girlfriend, what's the difference?

01:03:39.120 There's a lot of a difference.

01:03:40.560 And the fact that you can't see it only proves my point. 1.00

01:03:42.940 Now, all that said, Kanye's a hypocrite. 0.99

01:03:47.100 I mean, because he's also shacking up with someone else now, probably out of revenge or spite, but doesn't make it any better. 1.00

01:03:52.080 So, you know, go ahead and hit him for being a hypocrite. 1.00

01:03:56.700 Fine. 1.00

01:03:57.160 I'll agree with you there.

01:03:58.040 And point out how they've, you know, as is the case with so many marriages that fall apart, they obviously both hold a lot of the blame here.

01:04:07.480 But you can't go after him or anyone else for being angry and devastated and broken about their spouse leaving them.

01:04:13.900 That's entirely normal.

01:04:15.780 That's the most normal Kanye West has probably ever been in his life. 1.00

01:04:20.540 His critics are the irrational ones, the confused ones, the idiots. 1.00

01:04:26.400 And that's why they're canceled. 1.00

01:04:28.040 And we'll leave it there for today.
