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.
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
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,
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
00:05:11.320
stewing in solitary confinement for 18 years. I'm sure they're normal now, right? That doesn't happen.
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.
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
00:06:08.960
pretend to be a woman. And the New York Times, not to mention the cops, the court system, everybody,
00:06:15.940
they're all making sure to respect this lunatic's delusional fetish and even participate in it.
00:06:25.120
This is some straight-up Buffalo Bill, Silence of the Lambs stuff, where this guy likes to kill women
00:06:31.960
and essentially assume their identity. It should be very clear to any rational person that his
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
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.
00:07:36.240
A gender identity that it just so happens will presumably mean that this killer of women will
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
00:07:49.660
is calling himself a woman, so that he could be housed with women, his prey of choice. And rather
00:07:57.680
than saying, no, we're not doing that, you're going to a male prison, you freaking lunatic.
00:08:04.980
Instead, the court system will say, well, okay, we respect that. I mean, we don't approve of other
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,
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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
00:12:37.340
sense in so many areas of life. All of the cry bullies using emotional blackmail because they have
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
00:30:36.080
So one person says, you suck. The rest of the crowd starts jeering at that person. Not Naomi,
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
00:31:39.500
handle the criticism from that one. And then she doesn't do well through the rest of the match.
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
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
00:32:56.700
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
00:34:40.860
a little bit more leeway there. You certainly see this kind of thing a lot more often with female
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
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
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
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.
00:40:24.780
But there's your bit of Monday inspiration. We started with, you know, serial killers dismembering
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
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
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
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.
00:45:43.160
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
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
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
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
00:49:56.540
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,
00:50:58.680
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.
00:52:10.880
The Hyperions is a dysfunctional family film with an 80s aesthetic, and it's definitely worth the watch.

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.
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.
00:54:32.220
And for refusing to accept the fact that the marriage is over.
00:54:35.760
You know, the general consensus is that Kanye West is acting insane.
00:54:41.680
And that Kim Kardashian is the helpless victim in all of this.
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.
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,
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,
00:55:59.460
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.
00:56:12.300
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.
00:56:30.360
And worst of all, that someone else happens to look like a heroin addicted carny.
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.
00:56:48.000
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.
00:57:05.120
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.
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.
00:57:31.680
It's delusional and disgusting and frightening.
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.
00:57:51.600
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.
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.
00:58:46.140
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.
00:59:25.460
It's all pageantry, as far as you're concerned.
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.
00:59:49.720
That's not just a lyric in a million pop songs.
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.
01:00:20.080
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.
01:00:38.540
Now, I do have the legal right with no-fault divorce.
01:00:47.560
Most contracts can't be broken by anyone for any reason without any explanation or any exigent circumstances.

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.
01:01:16.040
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?
01:01:36.140
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,
01:01:48.780
speaking of having a right to things, your children have a right to a mom and a dad.
01:01:58.360
A lot of people think they're entitled to things they're not entitled to.
01:02:06.280
And when that happens to you, your spouse leaves you, tears the family apart,
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
01:02:33.880
She only said exes, you know, to include ex-girlfriends.
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.
01:02:49.040
They have the same responsibility to you that they have just to everybody.
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.
01:03:08.100
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.
01:03:27.280
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?
01:03:40.560
And the fact that you can't see it only proves my point.
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.
01:03:52.080
So, you know, go ahead and hit him for being a hypocrite.
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.
01:04:15.780
That's the most normal Kanye West has probably ever been in his life.
01:04:20.540
His critics are the irrational ones, the confused ones, the idiots.
