00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, now that the anti-groomer bill has been passed in Florida,
00:00:03.740 despite the pro-grooming efforts of Disney, Republicans in the state have moved on to
00:00:07.280 punishing and exacting revenge on Disney. Some milquetoast conservatives are uncomfortable with
00:00:11.700 this, but I think it's great. Also, Jen Psaki tearfully defends the castration and mutilation
00:00:16.280 of children. Piers Morgan deceptively edits an interview with Donald Trump. A public health
00:00:20.500 expert recommends that you bring extra masks with you in public to hand out to strangers.
00:00:25.100 In our daily cancellation, a woman is concerned because her boyfriend has dedicated his life
00:00:28.940 to digging a huge hole in the ground. We'll talk about all of that and more today on the Matt
00:00:33.100 Wall Show. You know, I don't know what it is about the left, but they straight up hate when you eat
00:00:47.220 meat. When the supply chain and inflation cause meat prices to soar, their response isn't to solve the
00:00:52.280 supply chain and inflation. It's to tell you that this is the perfect opportunity to switch from
00:00:55.780 juicy, delicious, nutritious meat to something called lentils or worse, bugs. Because, you know,
00:01:02.040 bugs don't count apparently. Apparently their lives don't count, so we just eat them. That doesn't
00:01:05.060 make any sense. People like Bill Gates and outlets like Time Magazine tell us eating bugs is a solution
00:01:09.380 to all of our problems. I've realized something. It's not enough to not eat bugs. You have to be
00:01:13.700 anti-bug eating. And I say this as someone who has eaten the bugs before, and I do not recommend it.
00:01:19.300 And that requires taking action against the bug eating movement. The best way to do that is to eat
00:01:23.400 more meat. So I've decided to double down on my meat intake, and I'm inviting you to join. I just
00:01:27.620 subscribed to the Cowboy Box from Good Ranchers, which contains almost 10 pounds of all-American
00:01:31.460 beef. If you're worried about the supply chain or inflation increasing the price of meat over time,
00:01:34.880 the solution is not lentils or crickets. The answer is subscribing to Good Ranchers. They lock
00:01:39.820 in your price for life once you subscribe, and they only source from American farms. So please
00:01:44.060 don't let the vegans and bug eaters win. We need to double down on eating meat literally. Go to

00:01:58.620 for many decades were in a rather enviable position. They were playing against a team that only ever
00:02:04.520 stayed on the defensive side of the ball. You know, the right only ever played defense. Sometimes it
00:02:09.260 played defense relatively well. Most of the time it played defense poorly. Sometimes it didn't play
00:02:13.100 defense at all. But the one enduring fact through quarter after quarter of this never-ending
00:02:17.840 football game is that the right never had possession of the ball. They were never advancing
00:02:22.280 up the field. It was all defense all the time. The problem is that it doesn't matter how well
00:02:26.720 you play defense. You could have a Hall of Fame defense. You could have Lawrence Taylor and Ray
00:02:30.380 Lewis in their primes on your defense, and you still won't win if you never move the line of scrimmage
00:02:34.900 in the other direction toward the other goal line. Now, that may be changing, finally. Or at least
00:02:40.180 there's a push on the right to change that. The most important political fight right now is not
00:02:45.500 between Republicans and Democrats, but between the new right and the old right, between the
00:02:49.260 faction that wants to take the ball away from the left and run upfield the other way, and the old
00:02:54.720 sort of tired, milquetoast establishment faction that wants to keep doing things as they've always
00:02:59.780 been done, no matter how fruitless and unproductive those methods were and still are. Now, this rift
00:03:05.960 between new and old right has really come to the foreground in recent days with, well, really in
00:03:11.260 recent months it has, but especially in recent days with this news out of Florida. As the Daily Wire
00:03:15.620 reports, Florida's Republican-led Senate passed a bill on Wednesday that eliminates a special taxing
00:03:20.820 district that allows Walt Disney Company to govern the land where its theme park is located. The
00:03:25.780 measure potentially delivers a blow to the company's operations in the state. The Wall Street Journal
00:03:29.760 reported the special district created in 1967 and known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District
00:03:35.160 exempts Disney from a host of regulations and certain taxes and fees related to emergency services and road
00:03:40.800 maintenance. The report noted the special taxing district reportedly saves Disney tens of millions
00:03:45.680 of dollars per year. The bill now heads to Florida's Republican-led house where it's expected to pass.
00:03:50.660 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has already signaled that he will sign the bill into law.
00:03:55.000 Now, thanks to this policy which was put in place back in the 1960s, Disney has been its own little
00:03:59.120 fiefdom, its own, literally its own kingdom in the middle of Florida. It essentially governs itself and
00:04:04.940 along with those privileges of autonomy came enormous tax benefits and breaks.
00:04:10.800 So DeSantis and his Republican counterparts in Florida want to take that sweet little deal
00:04:15.160 which has profited Disney to the tune of billions and just toss it into the wood chipper.
00:04:21.060 Why? Well, obviously because Disney is not interested in keeping to itself and being its own thing.
00:04:28.180 It wanted to use its vast resources to intrude into Florida politics and impact Florida legislation.
00:04:33.420 It wanted to craft Florida law even while remaining exempt largely from Florida law.
00:04:39.920 And it wanted to do all this in defense of child groomers. It came out fully in favor of and committed
00:04:46.320 to the sexual indoctrination of children. It proved itself to be an enemy of Florida parents and parents
00:04:53.080 across the country and the world. Why should it retain its special privileges in light of that?
00:04:57.820 Why shouldn't it be punished for what it's done? Why shouldn't it be made to feel the pain?
00:05:06.620 Defense is simply stopping Disney's intrusion. It's just saying, no, you can't do that.
00:05:12.640 Offense is punching back and punching back hard and making sure that they feel it.
00:05:19.320 Offense is making an example of them. Offense is taking Mickey Mouse's head and putting it on a spike.
00:05:25.360 Metaphorically, of course. And offense is what we need. One of the great things about turning the
00:05:31.560 tables and playing offense like this is that it exposes the utter vapidity and hollowness of your
00:05:36.480 enemies, who usually spend their time, of course, crying about evil billionaires and corporations,
00:05:41.320 but are now suddenly crying on behalf of evil billionaires and corporations.
00:05:46.500 One of the effects of this move in Florida is to essentially raise taxes on Disney, right? And since
00:05:51.500 when has the left ever been opposed to raising taxes on a billion dollar megacorporation?
00:05:57.520 Well, since right now, this moment, because they are a bunch of dishonest hacks.
00:06:02.060 Speaking of which, here's Simone Sanders, who once worked for Bernie Sanders and is now on cable news
00:06:07.100 bragging about the big and tough and cool Disney lobbyists. Let's listen.
00:06:13.260 I know fashion corporations is popular left and right these days. I'd be careful going.
00:06:19.300 Oh, my money is on the Disney lobbyists, honey. My money is on the Disney lobbyists. Do you think
00:06:24.600 those state legislatures down in Florida are going to binge to the will of the governor?
00:06:28.120 Did you see what Jared Polis said? He'd love a Rocky Mountain Disney.
00:06:31.780 But by the way, the Florida legislature, the state Senate just passed this bill to strip
00:06:35.820 Disney of its special access.
00:06:37.260 So from eat the rich to, yay, go Disney lobbyists. A slight rebranding there, you might say. If these
00:06:47.440 people had any credibility to begin with, it would be burned to ash right now. Yet some voices on the
00:06:53.520 right are taking up this cause alongside these leftist hypocrites defending Disney. For example,
00:07:00.420 writing for the National Review, Charles C.W. Cook calls the move to take away Disney's privileges
00:07:05.020 grotesque and ugly. He says there's no need for Republicans to punish Disney or, quote,
00:07:11.420 take revenge or, quote, salt the earth. We shouldn't be doing that, he says. Well, on the
00:07:17.240 contrary, Charles, that is exactly what we need to do. Meanwhile, conservative radio host Eric Erickson
00:07:22.840 tweeted, quote, kind of at the point of thinking this is where the right begins to overplay its hand
00:07:28.340 on the woke stuff where GOP takes away the Disney tax district. The left had been the bullies. The right
00:07:33.960 won. They risk looking like sore winners. The voters hate bullies more than policies.
00:07:41.140 I once again disagree. You're right, the left had been the bullies. It's time for the right to be the
00:07:46.160 bullies. Rather than complaining, oh, you're being a bully. Now, see, you want the other side, you
00:07:54.160 actually want the other side to accuse you of that. You want to be, you want to put them in a position
00:08:01.360 where they're saying, you're bullying us because that is a losing proposition. That's a lose,
00:08:08.920 literally a loser's talking point. When you're, when you're stooping to having to accuse the other
00:08:15.640 side of being bullies, that means you're losing. Writing for a conservative blog, Hot Air,
00:08:22.960 a la pundit, agrees, saying, no one believes that Disney would be facing this reckoning if it had
00:08:28.540 sheer led the don't say gay bill, which means the action Florida is taking, although facially neutral,
00:08:34.080 is textbook viewpoint discrimination by the government. Now, notice how this person on the
00:08:40.800 right, supposedly, in a supposed right-wing publication, which has a pop-up on it on its
00:08:45.420 homepage, asking the reader to support conservative journalism, actually refers to the parental rights
00:08:51.240 bill as the don't say gay bill. He adopts the absurd, farcical, far-left straw man talking point
00:08:58.120 about this legislation as if it's a neutral fact. That's a don't say gay bill.
00:09:04.080 And then he accuses Florida of viewpoint discrimination for taking away a special
00:09:07.760 privilege that it did not have any legal right to in the first place. And what viewpoint are we
00:09:15.020 discriminating against? The viewpoint that children should be sexualized? Well, yeah,
00:09:18.740 we should discriminate against that viewpoint. The right, many on the right anyway, are used to
00:09:25.620 losing, I think. They've grown accustomed to it. They're comfortable with it. They actually prefer
00:09:29.680 it. You know, the good thing about being a loser is you never have to do anything. There are no risks
00:09:35.480 involved. There's no tough calls, no hard decisions, no need for a plan. You can't fumble a ball that you
00:09:41.800 never have the guts to carry in the first place. Some on the right have enjoyed playing the role of speed
00:09:47.220 bump, lying there prostrate, you know, lumps on the ground, moderately slowing the left's advance,
00:09:53.900 maybe, and then waving as the convoy drives right over them and toward the horizon.
00:09:59.640 That's an easy role to play. It's simple. It's safe, as long as you don't mind the tire marks on
00:10:04.460 your face. Not a lot of dignity in it, but who cares about dignity? I mean, they certainly don't.
00:10:11.380 Some of us do, though. Some of us also, if you can imagine it, actually believe what we're saying.
00:10:20.200 We believe in the things we're fighting for. When we talk about kids being groomed and abused and
00:10:26.140 indoctrinated, we believe that. We're not just saying it. We believe it. That's another thing that
00:10:32.720 I think a lot of people on the establishment, the old right, that's something they can't believe and
00:10:39.100 don't understand because they're so used to just sort of saying things, whether they believe them
00:10:43.740 or not. And then they look at us over here and they say, you guys actually believe this stuff?
00:10:50.060 What? You know, if we believe it, of course we want to exact revenge on the people who are targeting
00:10:57.540 kids. Of course we're going to punish them, take vengeance on them, salt the earth with their ashes.
00:11:04.380 Sounds good to me. That's what you do when you really care, when you really mean it,
00:11:09.440 when you really understand the stakes, when you actually want to win. And we want to win.
00:11:16.960 If you don't, then lie back down, speed bump, and let the rest of us do what needs to be done.
00:11:24.380 We don't need your help. And we don't want it. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:11:34.380 All right. Well, Jen Psaki will be moving to MSNBC in a few months. No conflict of interest
00:11:43.280 there at all. I mean, she's the still right now, the press secretary. And she's supposed to field
00:11:49.380 questions from the media. And they're supposed to be an antagonistic relationship between the press
00:11:58.220 secretary, the White House and the media, because they're supposed to be holding you accountable.
00:12:01.480 Well, democracy dies in darkness, right? Washington Post. But Jen Psaki now is in the position of
00:12:08.180 she's doing these press conferences with people who are going to be her co-workers in a couple of
00:12:13.780 months. But no, no conflict of interest there. And now she seems to really be sort of preparing for
00:12:20.120 that gig. Here she is crying, crying over the thought of kids not being drugged and castrated.
00:12:28.180 Just to reiterate that she's crying over the thought of kids not being drugged and castrated.
00:12:36.680 The idea of, you know, the very idea that a 14 year old girl might not have her breasts chopped off,
00:12:43.520 the very idea that a 12 year old boy might not be chemically castrated and sterilized for life
00:12:48.300 reduces her to tears. Watch this political games and harsh and cruel attempts at laws or laws that
00:13:01.740 we're seeing in some states like Florida. That is not a reflection of the country moving to oppose
00:13:07.060 LGBTQ plus communities. That is not what we see in data. That is not factual. And that is not where
00:13:14.500 things stand. This is a political wedge issue and an attempt to win a culture war. And they're doing
00:13:20.920 that in a way that is harsh and cruel to a community of kids, especially. I'm like going to get,
00:13:28.300 I'm going to get emotional about this issue because I just, it's horrible. But, but, you know, it's,
00:13:34.520 it's like kids who are bullied and this is like all these leaders are, are taking steps to hurt them
00:13:41.740 and hurt their lives and hurt their families. And you look at some of these laws in these states and
00:13:46.560 it is going after parents who are in loving relationships who have kids. It's completely
00:13:52.060 outrageous. Um, but it is, it is a wedge issue. Sorry. I am this, this is an issue that makes me
00:13:57.580 completely crazy. Um, but it is an issue that, um, is a political wedge issue. It is not a reflection
00:14:03.520 of where the country is. Uh, you see, this is, this is what we're up against. Why just playing defense
00:14:13.420 is, is not an option when this is what you're dealing with actually reduced to tears. It's,
00:14:21.280 it's not just that she's arguing for and trying to justify the chemical castration and, and mutilation
00:14:29.660 and butchering of kids, which of course will be bad enough, but that she's emotional about the idea
00:14:38.640 that we would protect kids from that. Just think about it. And she's, yeah, there's, there's some
00:14:45.420 acting involved in the crying, but it's not all acting. I think we'd make a mistake to just assume
00:14:51.040 that that's all performance. That might be a part of it, but then you're, I think you're,
00:14:57.380 you're kind of doing her some favors in a way because no, she really is. These people really
00:15:04.920 are that deranged to not only be in favor of chopping the breasts off of 14 year old girls,
00:15:13.420 but to be emotional about it. She says we have to protect kids from bullying. Well, I agree with
00:15:24.340 that. And there are no greater bullies right now who are targeting kids than the vultures in the
00:15:33.800 pharmaceutical industry and the medical industry who are taking advantage of these kids and who have,
00:15:41.820 who are responsible for whatever, like a 4,000% increase in gender dysphoria among kids
00:15:47.100 who are inculcating this, this identity crisis and then profiting off of it, making kids confused
00:15:58.160 about who they are so that they can mutilate them and profit off it, monetize it. So those are the
00:16:05.960 bullies. And when there are laws put in place to protect kids, those are not laws against the kids.
00:16:14.820 Those are laws against what the adults are doing to those kids.
00:16:25.060 There's no, there's no compromising with people like this.
00:16:28.840 You know, there's no just like stopping their advance and then saying, okay, well, let's just
00:16:34.060 stay right here. Don't, don't just stop, stop right there. Don't, don't try to go any, any farther.
00:16:38.740 We can reach an understanding. No, these people have to be destroyed and humiliated and shamed.
00:16:52.400 Okay, that's what they need. There's, there's no other option. What other, what other option is
00:17:00.460 there for someone who would be in tears, tearfully defending the mutilation of kids?
00:17:10.080 Staying on this note here, um, Nicole, Nicole Wallace on MSNBC is so upset about the parental rights
00:17:17.180 bills that we've seen in Florida and other places that she actually compared the parental rights bills,
00:17:22.300 giving parents rights over their own children and stopping government employees from talking to
00:17:31.220 six-year-olds about, about sex. She compared that to child rape and war crimes. Listen.
00:17:39.120 And I worry that in covering Glenn Youngkin and his politics of parental choice, all the focus was
00:17:46.360 on how well it worked. And even in our conversations about DeSantis, it's about how well they're serving
00:17:50.960 him. The truth is dehumanization as a tactic for politics is from war. Dehumanization is a, it's a,
00:18:01.980 it's a tactic. It's being used right now. The Russians get their soldiers to rape children by
00:18:08.960 dehumanizing them. Dehumanization as a practice is a tactic of war. It's being deployed in our
00:18:15.900 politics and people like you and I sometimes lose the plot and admire its effectiveness. It's not
00:18:21.920 its substance, but even the analysis of these tactics loses sight of what, of what this speech
00:18:27.880 brings us back to, which is that dehumanization has a cost right now, right now, as it's being
00:18:33.980 deployed, there are children and, and, and Chastain Buttigieg made this point when don't ask,
00:18:38.280 don't tell, it was introduced. Kids will die. Kids, kids will die. Kids will die. If we don't
00:18:45.280 groom, indoctrinate, abuse, and sexualize them. That's what she's saying. Because I think we should
00:18:52.720 be very clear about what all this is. The sexual indoctrination of children, the, um, foisting
00:19:01.020 gender dysphoria onto them. Um, this, the transitioning quote unquote of children, all of
00:19:09.920 this is sexual abuse, quote unquote, transitioning a child, trying to turn a little boy into a little
00:19:18.760 girl. That's, that is psychological abuse. It's physical abuse. It is also at the deepest sense,
00:19:24.000 sexual abuse. And so what she is saying, what this freak, what this monster, this lunatic,
00:19:32.640 this psychopath, this goblin is saying is that kids will die if we don't sexually abuse them.
00:19:40.860 And she is comparing not sexual, sexually abusing kids to raping them like that. How do you even make
00:19:47.860 sense of that? But that's what we're getting from these ghouls. And if it couldn't, if you didn't
00:19:56.100 think it'd get any worse, it does. Well, here's, here's one fact that makes it a worse for you.
00:19:59.600 And I think this ties back to what we talked about in the opening with the, you know, the old right
00:20:02.460 and the Republican, establishing Republican thing. Um, Nicole Wallace, just so you know, she,
00:20:07.260 she used to work in the Bush White House. She worked in the Bush White House and she worked for
00:20:11.660 John McCain. So she's a Republican historically, and this is where she is now. So what does that
00:20:19.000 tell you about the Republican party? Uh, and then a little bit later in this conversation, Tim Miller,
00:20:23.460 who also used to be a Republican, former RNC spokesman, um, here is his, his response. Now,
00:20:30.940 remember Nicole Wallace is saying that there's, that their side is being dehumanized or whatever.
00:20:36.960 And, um, here is Tim Miller's response to that. Listen. Um, with, with what Mallory was saying,
00:20:44.060 right? Carville, I think so in this network yesterday, Republicans are weird and like,
00:20:47.720 we need to call them weird. Right. And so I think there has to be a humanizing of your side,
00:20:52.940 but plus going on offense a little bit on the other side, right? And if, if part of the reason why
00:20:57.780 Glenn Youngkin was elected was because parents were uncomfortable with what some of the school board
00:21:01.200 judgments are doing. Do you want the people that charge the Capitol deciding what the
00:21:06.820 math books are going to be? That's not popular, right? Like these weirdos that are talking about
00:21:12.140 Mickey and Pluto making love and all, all this sort of weird stuff they're talking about and all
00:21:17.360 this sort of extreme stuff they're talking about. Nobody wants them deciding what's in the math
00:21:21.680 books either. Right. So I think that there is a way to, to push down and, and to, to limit the
00:21:28.320 strength of their argument by, by pointing out just how, how odd and how extreme it is. And then by
00:21:34.640 humanizing yourself as well. And by pointing out the families that are going to suffer from this,
00:21:38.660 like anybody who has a kindergartner, five-year-old cook, I've got a four-year-old.
00:21:43.260 She's always asking, uh, you know what? Tommy has one dad, like Tommy's grandma picked up. What's
00:21:48.080 the deal with that family? Anybody who has a kindergartner knows you can't ban discussion
00:21:51.960 of different families from a kindergarten classroom. Oh, they're weird. They're so weird is his answer.
00:21:57.960 Now what he, what he really wanted to say to kind of stopped himself, uh, what, because he said,
00:22:02.500 yeah, we have to humanize our side and then, and then go on offense. What he actually meant to say
00:22:08.500 is what he was trying to say, what he was clearly saying is we want to humanize our side and dehumanize
00:22:13.320 the other side. That's what he was really saying there pretty clearly. And that was in response to
00:22:19.500 Nicole Wallace's whole, whole speech about how the Republicans are dehumanizing people. Tim Miller
00:22:24.840 responds by saying, well, we need to dehumanize them. And she's laughing and nodding along. Well, of course,
00:22:28.580 we're going to dehumanize them. I mean, obviously no, we, they're not people. They're not humans.
00:22:34.180 So we can dehumanize them. But remember what I said yesterday that anytime they make a statement
00:22:41.240 about, uh, you know, especially if they're decrying the way that people are treated, there's always
00:22:45.320 the asterisk. Cause there's always, you know, there's always that, uh, clause at the end, which
00:22:51.260 is it's wrong to dehumanize people unless they deserve it. It's wrong to be intolerant and hateful
00:22:58.100 unless they deserve it. It's wrong to take away their human rights unless they deserve it.
00:23:04.580 So you see that yet again, but he says that, um, well, Republicans are weird. They're weird for this.
00:23:10.820 Okay. Give me some examples. And by the way, I'm fine. Tim Miller, um, you pervert freak.
00:23:17.980 Like I am fine with having the conversation on these, this, this ground here. It's what you want,
00:23:24.680 right? You want to throw accusations back and forth, have a contest over who's more of a weirdo.
00:23:32.400 Perfectly fine. Because prior to this, the response usually was like, if we accused you of being weird
00:23:37.920 and bizarre, um, then what we'd hear from the other side is, well, you shouldn't call people weird and
00:23:42.520 bizarre. And that's a bad thing to do. You know, we should be accepting of people. So it seems like
00:23:46.440 you're tossing that out now and you're saying, no, that's a legitimate charge to make against
00:23:50.720 somebody. And now it's just a contest to figure out who the weird ones are. And I'm really excited
00:23:57.200 to have that conversation. We can have that conversation, Tim. So, um, but give me some
00:24:03.120 examples. Cause you didn't, you go on, you see, he goes on for a minute about, there are the weird
00:24:07.080 ones. And he doesn't give any examples of the weird. He says, oh, these are the people who charged the
00:24:10.720 capital. Actually, they're not. Uh, Glenn Youngkin didn't charge capital. Ron DeSantis didn't charge
00:24:14.540 the capital. There's a tiny sliver of a minority, a relative handful of people in comparison with
00:24:24.480 everyone on the right, the millions of people who did that. And so if you want to call them weird
00:24:30.780 for doing that, then go ahead. But we, you know, we, I didn't charge the capital any more than you,
00:24:39.180 Tim Miller invaded a police station in Minneapolis when BLM did and burned it to the ground. I assume
00:24:46.700 you didn't do that. So I'm not going to say that you did. So that's not going to work. And then,
00:24:51.020 okay, so what's the weird thing? Talking about Mickey and Pluto having sex? No, that's, that's,
00:24:56.560 see, we're saying we don't want to talk about that. But what we're saying is we don't want sexual
00:25:00.680 content in children's entertainment. And we don't want our kids in school to be sexualized. That's
00:25:05.740 what we do not want. You do want it. So you're taking the position that a little boy, that a
00:25:13.760 little four-year-old boy can actually be a girl. That if a little four-year-old boy who has no concept
00:25:20.280 of reality whatsoever says, I'm a girl, not understanding what that statement even means,
00:25:25.880 that we should actually put him in a dress and raise him as a girl and put him on a path to when
00:25:30.100 he's 12 years old, get sterilizing him with drugs that we give to sex offenders to chemically
00:25:38.300 castrate them. And then a little bit later after that, you know, chopping his, his penis into pieces
00:25:44.680 and trying to turn it into a vagina. That's what you support. So you want to have a weirdo conversation?
00:25:49.200 That's the weird stuff. And I can use a lot of words stronger than that, that you support.
00:25:53.940 I'd like to give the examples of what the, what's the weird thing? Oh yeah, we're such weirdos. We,
00:26:01.380 we think that, that men are male, women are females. You shouldn't talk to little five-year-olds
00:26:11.440 about transgenderism or encourage them to cross-dress like that. That's, that's, that's our
00:26:15.760 whole position on this issue. Bunch of weirdos we are. Sure. Speaking of weirdos,
00:26:24.140 Kamala Harris yesterday, I don't know why they keep putting her in these positions. I'm speaking
00:26:28.160 somewhat rhetorically when I say, I don't know why, but, um, I mean, I do know why is that nobody
00:26:33.120 in the white house or in their Democrat party likes her because they could before we play this clip
00:26:38.140 and this is not the worst Kamala Harris clip, but then the bar is very low. So it doesn't quite get
00:26:43.340 down. This is not, um, when she was, when she was pontificating about the passage of time and
00:26:49.540 it's not quite there, but it's, it's almost there. But what you have to keep in mind when
00:26:53.520 you listen to this clip is that she's giving a speech and we have to assume that she's given
00:26:59.680 prepared remarks by people who are aware of her reputation for saying inane, ridiculous,
00:27:09.600 meaningless things. And so they, they could give her things to say that are not that.
00:27:13.960 And yet this is what we get. Listen, space is exciting. It spurs our imaginations
00:27:24.040 and it forces us to ask big questions. Space, it affects us all and it connects us all.
00:27:36.880 Yeah, those are, those are definitely, okay. Yeah. She's got the teleprompters there. Those
00:27:41.380 are prepared remarks. Space affects us all and it connects us all. Does it though?
00:27:46.600 I mean, this once again, as always with her, it sounds like she was just thrown up to the front
00:27:56.040 of the class to give a presentation on outer space and had not prepared for it at all. And so this is
00:28:01.540 what space is really interesting. Space is space. Space is big. Space is dark.
00:28:14.820 But there are things in space, which is very big and it connects us all. Does it connect us all? In
00:28:23.420 what way does space connect us? In what way does space, in what way does it affect us? Well, I guess
00:28:29.860 in a certain way. I mean, we're all on planet earth, which is in space orbiting around the sun. So in that
00:28:37.780 way, I mean, if you didn't have, if you didn't have space, then there would just be nothing, but space
00:28:43.960 kind of is not, I don't know. It's kind of mind boggling. It's your mind boggles after a while
00:28:48.040 trying to make sense of this. It probably would have been better just to give her something else
00:28:54.300 to say, but they are setting her up for failure every step of the way. Speaking of a lot of great
00:29:02.600 transitions here. Speaking of getting set up for failure, Donald Trump sat down for an interview with
00:29:08.360 Piers Morgan, apparently sometime in the last couple of days. And I say sometime in the last
00:29:12.140 couple of days because Trump sat down for a pre-recorded interview with Piers Morgan.
00:29:17.660 And here's how that interview was advertised. Piers, I'm ready.
00:29:23.180 A former president in denial. I'll be completely straight with you to your face.
00:29:27.200 I think I'm a very honest man. Much more honest than you, actually.
00:29:30.200 Really? Yeah. It was a free and fair election. You lost.
00:29:33.180 Only a fool would think that. You think I'm a fool?
00:29:35.060 I do now, yeah. With respect. Excuse me.
00:29:36.720 Okay, but with respect. The legislature produced the hard evidence.
00:29:38.960 Excuse me. The most explosive interview of the year.
00:29:41.740 I don't think you're real. I'm very disappointed.
00:29:44.440 Let's finish up the interview.
00:29:45.460 Morgan versus Trump. Turn the camera off.
00:29:48.200 Very dishonest.
00:29:51.680 Okay, so they have him appearing to storm off, turn the camera off. But then we get this from
00:29:58.360 Breitbart. It says, audio provided by former President Donald Trump and his team to Breitbart
00:30:03.060 News at the end of Trump's interview with Piers Morgan proves that Morgan and his team deceptively
00:30:07.500 edited the interview to make it appear as though it was a contentious ending when it was not.
00:30:11.640 It says, a 30-second promotional clip that Morgan released on Wednesday afternoon seemed to
00:30:16.180 show Trump flying off the handle and walking out mid-interview as a righteous Morgan asked
00:30:19.860 him tough questions about his views on the 2020 election.
00:30:21.780 But it turns out, and there's audio that he provided, the full audio, and I mean, you can hear in the
00:30:29.100 audio. He just, the interview's over and Trump gets up and because the interview's over, he says,
00:30:35.480 you can turn the cameras off now. And then Piers says to him, that was a great interview. So it's a very
00:30:40.560 friendly kind of ending. And they cut it together to make it seem like he stormed out. So just deceptive,
00:30:48.280 dishonest, uh, that they're using. And Piers Morgan, I think he just started this new show
00:30:53.220 after getting canceled on the, um, uh, on a different show. And now he's got a new show and
00:30:58.260 he's, and, and Donald Trump was, was very nice to sit down for a prerecorded interview to help
00:31:05.000 Piers Morgan's ratings. And that's what brings me to what I have to say about this. And the right
00:31:12.260 today has been, you know, defending Trump and they've been saying, oh, Trump was treated unfairly by the
00:31:17.100 media. Um, which is, so in other words, it's like, well, for, for, for four years of Trump in
00:31:22.300 the white house, it's like what, what the right was focused on almost solely was defending Trump
00:31:29.260 against unfair media attacks. And so what I'm going to say about this, and I, and I know that, uh, some
00:31:34.460 of you, my sweet babies think that I'm too hard on Trump. So you're not going to like what I have to
00:31:41.040 say here. Um, and you also have to understand that I don't think it's possible to be too hard
00:31:48.300 on a politician, especially a guy who was president. It's just, it's just not, it's not
00:31:54.400 possible to be too harsh. I don't think I blame Trump for this 100%. And I think it shows some of
00:32:03.400 the major problems we would have in 2024, if he's the guy, um, I blame him because why in the hell,
00:32:11.260 why in God's name, take your pick, would you as a man who has been in media and, and in politics
00:32:17.380 and who knows how the game is played, why would you make the decision to sit down for a pre-recorded
00:32:23.920 interview with Piers Morgan? Why would you sit for a pre-recorded interview with a corporate media
00:32:29.820 hack? Why? I know what he been, he benefits from it because it helps his ratings. But so that's what
00:32:36.920 you're doing. You're trying to help the media with their ratings, be a nice guy. Tell me why now I've
00:32:43.340 been around for a much shorter time than Trump and I have much less experience. I would never in a
00:32:48.180 million years do a pre-recorded interview with someone who I cannot 100% absolutely and totally
00:32:55.200 trust. And the number of people that I can absolutely and totally trust in this way is like
00:32:59.640 that number is almost non-existent. Like I would sit down for a pre-recorded interview
00:33:05.860 with somebody here at the Daily Wire and that's almost, that's pretty much it. That's,
00:33:14.060 that might be the entire list. And I certainly wouldn't go into someone who, who disagrees with
00:33:21.600 me politically and do a pre-recorded interview because then they can do exactly this. They can
00:33:26.840 edit it however they want. Yet Trump decided to do that. He stood to gain nothing. What do you gain
00:33:35.200 from it? Nothing. Yet he did it. Um, and it's the same old story over and over again. I'm just so sick
00:33:45.240 of it. Like Trump puts himself in these positions for no reason, just because like he can't, someone
00:33:51.300 offers him a camera and they flatter him a little bit and say, we'd love, you'd be a great interview
00:33:56.440 and you'd help our ratings. And he just, he can't say no to that, but you need to be able to say no
00:34:01.180 to that. And he doesn't have anyone in his circle. He hasn't surrounded himself with anybody who will
00:34:06.200 tell him the truth. And if there is anyone to tell him the truth, they get fired. So there's nobody in
00:34:10.180 his circle who would say, no, uh, Mr. President, you cannot do this. You want to sit down live with
00:34:15.880 Piers Morgan? Maybe, but even then, why, why him? What do you gain from that? You're the most famous
00:34:22.540 guy in the world. You could do an interview with anybody. Why did, why Piers Morgan? What does he
00:34:25.880 give you? And he decides to do it. And then, uh, and then the inevitable happens. And then we have a
00:34:36.260 whole new cycle where the right is focused on defending Trump. And this is like, like I said,
00:34:39.620 for four years, this is what it was. The, the, every day it was a Trump's being unfairly attacked
00:34:43.800 by the media again. And meanwhile, what's the left focused on? They're focused on, um,
00:34:48.580 further, you know, uh, furthering their agenda in education, you know, getting more, getting more
00:34:55.660 gender ideology, more CRT into the classroom. They're focused on that. You know, it's, it's actually
00:35:02.020 not a coincidence that it was, it wasn't until really the end of Trump's term and when he was gone
00:35:09.000 that the right really honed in on these issues in education, gender ideology, especially like we
00:35:15.780 really, the, the, um, school board movement actually paying attention to what's happening
00:35:22.560 locally, that didn't happen until Trump was gone. And the reason for that is it's, it's not,
00:35:28.520 it's not that Trump tried to prevent us from focusing on this. It wasn't, well, it wasn't his
00:35:32.120 intention. It's just that when he's around, it's just for the right. All they do is talk about him
00:35:36.960 and defend him. That's it. While everything else is happening in the world that really matters.
00:35:43.240 This is a perfect example of it. And I'm sorry, I'm just not, I, everyone else on the right today
00:35:48.100 can say, Oh, Trump's gone fairly. Sorry. That's your fault. Don't do that. I would say this to
00:35:52.820 anybody. I would say this to anybody on the right. You sat down for a pre-recorded interview with
00:35:56.880 somebody you can't trust. That's on you. Like, what are you doing? And now I got to defend you
00:36:04.180 because you made that dumb decision for the 50th time. Come on. And the other thing you see in that,
00:36:13.300 by the way, is that, um, first of all, the media, they, they want Trump to run. They desperately want
00:36:19.400 this guy to run. They love him. They, that's the dirty little secret. That should not be a secret to
00:36:24.380 anyone. They love him and they want him there. That's why they talk about him so much. He's great
00:36:27.580 for their ratings and he knows that he's great for their ratings and he likes that he's great for
00:36:31.600 their ratings. And that's one of the reasons he does all these interviews, even though he stands
00:36:33.940 to gain nothing from them. Um, so they want to run. The other thing that they want is they want to
00:36:41.020 talk about 2020. What, here's what would be the best case scenario for them, for Dems in 2024.
00:36:47.200 It is that Trump runs and that the entire 2024 election cycle is a rehash and a re-litigation
00:36:52.100 of 2020. That's what they want. Because what they absolutely do not want is to talk about Biden
00:36:59.480 and his failures and how he destroyed the country for four years, for four years. And what they don't
00:37:04.640 want to talk about is these cultural issues. Obviously, gender ideology, CRT, the school system,
00:37:08.780 they don't talk about any of that. They can't talk about it. They can't defend it. They don't know
00:37:13.820 how to talk about it. They still haven't figured it out. They want to talk about Trump and they want to
00:37:18.260 talk about 2020 and they want to talk about Trump's tenure and they want to, that's what they want
00:37:22.000 to make it about. They want to make the 2024 election about 2016 through 2020 and just erase
00:37:29.840 2020 through 2024. That's what they want to do. We cannot let that happen.
00:37:38.080 All right. Um, one other thing from MS, we played way too much MSNBC recently, unfortunately,
00:37:43.380 but, uh, I got to play just one more thing. Here's a talking head doctor on MSNBC giving some
00:37:49.900 masking advice. Listen to this. If people want to stay safe, the best thing they can do,
00:37:56.140 high quality masks, and that when possible, carry some extra masks. I know this sounds crazy,
00:38:01.820 but if you tell someone next to you on a plane, pay a 95 and just say, or surgical mask and just say,
00:38:07.080 I've got an elderly mother at home. I've got a child with cancer at home. Will you please do me a
00:38:11.600 favor? Having the people at least closest to you in that row, protecting yourself and them
00:38:16.420 can be the best safety. So carry some extra masks with you, carry some rapid tests with you. If
00:38:21.620 you're traveling, carry some tests. It's about, she didn't say, are you giving them the test too?
00:38:27.000 When you sit down? Uh, sorry, I don't mean to bug you, but could you just take this, uh, this, uh,
00:38:30.980 this, well, first I have a health questionnaire. Can you just, uh, just check yes or no on this box?
00:38:35.360 It's only 50 questions. And then, um, I'm going to do a little bit of blood work. Here's a rapid
00:38:39.480 test. And here's three masks. Would you mind just putting those on for me? I don't mean to impose.
00:38:44.060 I don't mean to impose. Lord, dear Lord in heaven, please let someone try this with me. Please,
00:38:52.400 please try. I am begging you send someone to me next to me on a plane to try to hand me a mask
00:38:59.820 and ask me to put it on. Um, I, I would love that. I would love the opportunity to respond to that
00:39:06.640 query. And my response will be along the lines of hell no, but maybe a little bit more colorful.
00:39:13.920 I'll probably have a little bit more to say than that, but that's, that's going to be the,
00:39:16.000 that's going to be the thrust of it really is what it's going to be. Um, but of course the left,
00:39:21.100 they're just, they, they can't get over this masking thing. Uh, some of them anyway,
00:39:25.100 here's Jerome Adams. He's, uh, now calls himself a health equity director. He used to be a certain
00:39:29.900 general under Trump. And, um, he posted this today. He says flying today, a Delta pilot walked
00:39:36.900 by me in the airport and said, take your mask off, man, breathe free. Got to love that pilot.
00:39:42.400 And he's, uh, why is it those who so strongly felt others were imposing their beliefs
00:39:46.960 in health, wellness, and compassion on them feel so free to impose their belief on others?
00:39:54.520 Well, in what way is he imposing his belief on you by just saying, Hey, take your mask off,
00:39:59.140 breathe free. He's, he's concerned about your mental wellbeing. He's concerned about you.
00:40:07.080 And then Dr. Emily Ricotta, who's a epidemiologist, she tweeted this in defiance of the mask mandate
00:40:13.680 removal. I'm double masked and bringing some sass to the airport this morning. Then she's got her
00:40:19.240 double masks on and then she's got a shirt that says, trust me on it. Trust me. I'm an epidemiologist.
00:40:24.240 Trust. Well, I'm glad to know you're an epidemiologist, but trust, I think I'm gonna
00:40:28.940 go the other direction. That, that, that's the red flag. That signals to me that I cannot trust
00:40:33.580 you based on the last two years of experience. Um, how are you in defiance of the removal of a
00:40:41.160 mandate? Nobody is saying that you can't wear the mask.
00:40:45.460 Now, I think that we should say that actually talk about going on offense, the theme here.
00:40:53.360 Um, I would say it's actually not enough to just get rid of the mask mandates and move on. We now need
00:41:00.960 there to be laws put in place, ensuring that no mask mandates can ever be passed again, especially in
00:41:08.380 schools. Every state in the, in the country should be passing laws. Every, every red state anyway,
00:41:16.380 every alleged red state should be passing laws saying you cannot, you know, mask mandates in
00:41:21.500 school are illegal. And I would even go because I am such a bully. I would go farther than that.
00:41:28.900 And I would also pass laws banning masking itself. I would say you cannot wear a mask
00:41:33.340 in public, unless you need to get a, uh, unless you have a specific health related need.
00:41:40.700 So if you can, if you can obtain a health exemption, let's say you are going through
00:41:45.760 chemotherapy, something like that, then you get a health exemption and you can wear a mask,
00:41:48.900 but everybody else you can't. Why can't you? Um, because it, because you look stupid. That's why
00:41:57.120 if I was governor, that'd be my whole reason. It just looks stupid. And so I'm saying you can't do it.
00:42:02.740 That's all. If I have to give a better reason, there are better reasons. One is that it's a,
00:42:06.360 it's a, it's a public safety risk. It is legitimately a public safety risk to have people
00:42:10.440 walking around in masks, having, having masses of people walking around with anonymity. We've
00:42:15.180 seen what happens over the last two years. We've all seen it. The mass looting, the crime wave,
00:42:19.300 all of that is directly connected to the masking. That's why when you watch all these videos of
00:42:23.520 the looting sprees and everything else, whether it was during BLM riots or just these things that
00:42:30.340 happen on their own now in San Francisco and Los Angeles and other places, they're almost always
00:42:34.420 wearing masks. And that was something that some of us, including yours truly predicted early on
00:42:41.680 and was laughed at for saying, well, you have everybody wearing masks. Now we're going to
00:42:46.540 have shoplifting and everything left and right. And people scoffed at that. So what, what's the
00:42:51.340 connection there? So public safety hazard. That's why that, that is, if I had to come up with a
00:42:58.080 better reason, then it looks stupid. Uh, my real reason would be it's a public safety hazard. People
00:43:02.300 walk around masks. And what's more, it's also a psychological health. We care about mental health
00:43:08.020 these days, don't we? It is bad for mental health to walk around in a mask and it's bad for other
00:43:13.540 people's mental health to have to see you. It is bad. It, it is harmful to my mental health
00:43:18.180 when I have to walk around seeing people in masks. So those are my reasons. Let's get now
00:43:26.480 to the comment section. Jack Walsh, no relation as far as I know says a mascot is representation of
00:43:43.620 your group of people, whether it's your school or your team or whatever. These kids are proud to be
00:43:47.960 represented by native American symbols and heritage. Look at the reverence they're giving
00:43:51.320 their performance. Why is this offensive in the least? Well, that's exactly the point with all
00:43:54.880 these alleged offensive mascots, Indian mascots. Um, people are proud of the mascots. That's why,
00:44:01.880 that's why fan bases have tried to hold onto them because they are proud of the mascots.
00:44:09.680 And when you make something into a mascot, you make a person into a mascot, that is you,
00:44:15.600 that is a reverence. That is you paying homage. That's, you know, that's, that's a sign of respect.
00:44:23.220 As I said yesterday, you don't, you don't make a mascot out of something or someone that you think
00:44:28.700 is pathetic, inferior, weak, whatever. Um, Boyer says, till we have faces is the secret gem of CS Lewis's
00:44:39.840 works. I read it every couple of years or so. And every time, uh, walk away with something
00:44:43.960 different. Yeah. I kind of fluctuate between which CS Lewis work is my, my favorite. And, um,
00:44:52.540 but I do think ultimately, and I've always gravitated towards this purely apologetic
00:44:56.800 works. I mean, uh, everything he did is, is, is apologetic in a certain way till we have faces
00:45:02.480 certainly is, but it's also a, it's a novel, it's a fictional story. Um, there's a lot of allegorical
00:45:07.680 elements to it. I've always, I've always, I've always gravitated towards things like, you know,
00:45:11.840 the problem of pain, um, mere Christianity, stuff like that. That's very clearly straightforward
00:45:17.780 apologetics, but recently, especially I've, I've, um, found myself connecting with till we have faces.
00:45:22.840 So right now I would say, I think that's the best CS Lewis book. Um, Tyler says, Hey Matt,
00:45:27.740 former infantry here. And I can honestly say people that go overseas into combat zones, politicians,
00:45:32.320 photographers, et cetera, with little to no experience slash trading are extremely valuable,
00:45:36.260 not because they're good at what they do, but because they keep our morale high by keeping us
00:45:40.860 laughing at their expense, of course. Okay. So that's the one advantage. I was asking yesterday,
00:45:45.540 guys like Malcolm Nance, these, uh, cable news pundits who are now going to Ukraine and LARPing as,
00:45:52.300 uh, as, you know, Ukrainian warriors. What is the people on the ground there who are actually fighting?
00:45:59.580 Are they, are they happy to see the cable news pundits show up? Someone who's out of shape at 60
00:46:03.840 years old? Is that like, are they, were they hoping that somebody like that would come and help?
00:46:09.460 And this is the answer apparently a little bit of a, I guess you could use that being in that
00:46:14.660 environment, high stress environment, obviously, uh, having a little bit of a, a little bit of a
00:46:20.420 comedic break, I think is good. Uh, Aiden says, Matt, I've been crying all day since I heard this
00:46:27.380 heartbreaking news. Pooh Shiesty has been sentenced to five and a half years in prison. I'm barely able to
00:46:32.900 even type this message due to all the tears on my screen. Hope you're holding up. Okay.
00:46:37.840 Yeah, you know, I saw this yesterday and I wanted to talk about it, but it was too painful. Um,
00:46:42.520 it was too much. I needed time to process it and pray about it. And, um, I still don't know what to
00:46:47.580 say. My man, Pooh Shiesty is going to prison for five and a half years. And that means five and a
00:46:52.280 half years without his music. I mean, yeah, we have his, his classics, right? We have what he has
00:46:58.660 contributed so far to humanity. It's going to contribute so much more, but not having new
00:47:03.940 Pooh Shiesty music, it's kind of unbearable for me. Why is he going to prison? Well, because of racism
00:47:10.460 and because of anti-Poo bias in the justice system, which is a problem that is not discussed nearly
00:47:16.020 enough. Um, they jammed Pooh up on some phony charges and now he, an innocent Pooh is going to
00:47:23.580 prison. It's unconscionable, but here's the good news. If I knew, if I know Pooh Shiesty and I do,
00:47:30.160 he's going to endure this hardship and with great courage and dignity. I mean, this is Pooh Shiesty
00:47:35.360 we're talking about. A man whose spirit will not be broken easily. So that's the good message.
00:47:40.860 Um, may we all be a little bit more like Pooh Shiesty and like his friend, spot him, got him,
00:47:47.380 who actually, it just so happens was shot recently, but I think he's okay. As far as I know,
00:47:51.580 thank God. One tragedy at a time. So prayers for Pooh. Godspeed, my friend. Come back to us soon.
00:47:59.400 You know, if there's one question I never thought I'd seriously be asking the general public, it's
00:48:03.000 what is a woman? But here we are. And not only am I asking the question, I've made an entire film
00:48:07.140 and written an entire book trying to answer it. Both are called What is a Woman? And the book is
00:48:10.360 now available for pre-order at whatisawoman.com and also on Amazon, where it was number one on the
00:48:14.460 bestseller charts in the women's studies category before, of course, being removed from the list. So
00:48:18.460 help me find the answer to this elusive question. Pre-order my book, What is a Woman?
00:48:22.120 at whatisawoman.com or on Amazon and go to whatisawoman.com also to see the trailer for
00:48:27.140 the film, which will be coming out very soon. Uh, very excited about that as well. Now let's
00:48:30.460 get to our daily cancellation. You know, one of my favorite pieces of extra content that we post on
00:48:38.320 our YouTube channel are my Reddit relationship advice videos. And this is when I come through the
00:48:43.040 relationship forums on Reddit to impart my wisdom to the confused and helpless souls who are
00:48:47.300 so desperate that they're actually stooping to soliciting advice from the Reddit community.
00:48:51.080 Now, my advice may not be great from an objective standpoint, but it's better than anything that,
00:48:55.760 you know, they'll get from Reddit. So today in that spirit, I'll be trying to help a young woman
00:49:00.440 whose relationship quandary has posted to Reddit went viral this week. Um, I'll be helping her and
00:49:06.740 I'll also be canceling her because that's what we do in this segment. Nothing personal.
00:49:10.320 I mean, usually it is pretty personal, but nevermind that. A woman named Kate Whittaker on Twitter
00:49:16.080 seems to be one of the first to have taken this post and amplified it, causing it to go viral.
00:49:20.260 She tweeted the screenshot along with a caption revealing her bias. She says,
00:49:24.100 what on earth is going on with men? Ironically though, the man in question is not on earth. He is
00:49:29.680 under the earth where all men wish to be. The Reddit post is titled, how can I get my boyfriend to
00:49:36.400 stop digging his tunnel? Now we see the problem already from the way she framed the situation.
00:49:41.360 She says, how can I get him to stop rather than should I get him to stop? Which is the real
00:49:46.520 question you should be asking. She's assuming from the outset that she should stop her boyfriend
00:49:50.600 from digging his tunnel. To her, it's self-evident that men should not dig tunnels, but to men,
00:49:55.660 it's self-evident that we should and we must. I'm getting ahead of myself a little bit. Here's
00:50:00.400 her version of the story. Let's read it. She says, so I know this is a weird question,
00:50:05.280 but my boyfriend likes to spend a lot of his free time digging a tunnel on some property that he
00:50:09.400 inherited. I haven't seen the full extent of it, but last I saw it was remarkably deep under the
00:50:13.500 surface. He spent roughly a year on it and it's evident. The front of the thing is deep, wide,
00:50:18.120 well put together. At the front, which is the only part I've seen, he's got cement beams,
00:50:22.280 cement beams, electric lights, even chairs and a small table. I haven't gotten into it. I haven't
00:50:27.040 gone into it, but it looked like the quality severely dropped as the tunnel went further,
00:50:31.400 mostly becoming open dirt with some wood beams holding it up.
00:50:35.280 Yes. Now pausing here for a moment. It is baffling to me that her boyfriend has been
00:50:40.180 digging this awesome tunnel and she hasn't even gone into it. This is like if he had spent a year
00:50:45.640 painting a masterpiece or chiseling a beautiful sculpture out of rock and you didn't even bother
00:50:50.300 to look at it. What if you were in the Sistine Chapel of Michelangelo in the year 1512 and he told
00:50:55.260 you that he just finished painting the ceiling and he's like, I just finished painting that whole
00:50:59.100 ceiling. It took me forever. And you're just like, oh, cool. And you didn't even bother to look up
00:51:03.360 and check it out. This is shocking to me, especially when the thing in question is a
00:51:07.820 bad-ass tunnel. She continues, my biggest concern is his safety. I'm really worried that he's going
00:51:13.120 to dig too deep and it'll collapse on him or something. I've tried voicing this concern to
00:51:16.700 him, but he just laughs it off and assures me that he'll be fine. Aside from safety concerns,
00:51:21.000 there's also the fact that he doesn't really have a social life because of this thing.
00:51:24.440 I'm pretty much the only person he still talks to outside of his job and he doesn't go out and do
00:51:28.180 anything anymore. It used to be that he'd occasionally head out and do some digging on the
00:51:32.180 weekends. But now he spends almost all of his free time out there. He still comes home,
00:51:35.540 but he barely spends any time with me. And I know that he isn't going to be,
00:51:38.840 he isn't doing anything but digging that damn hole in the ground. This can't be good for his
00:51:42.620 mental health, but I don't know how to convince him to stop. He's always really happy when he comes
00:51:46.520 back from digging, which is why I haven't seriously tried to stop him before. But I was talking to a
00:51:51.360 friend about him and she told me he might be going crazy. Obviously, I don't think he's insane,
00:51:56.100 but I hadn't considered the mental health aspect of this and I just don't know what to do.
00:51:59.340 Okay, let's clear a few things up. Now, yes, sure, there are some valid safety concerns here.
00:52:07.200 If the tunnel isn't properly built and supported or ventilated, you could die. But let's just put
00:52:12.880 the risk of death aside for a second. That's a minor detail, frankly. And also, I see no reason
00:52:16.660 for us to assume, given the information provided, that this man is digging his tunnel in an unsafe
00:52:20.980 way. That would be, I believe, an erroneous assumption. So let's table the whole dying situation
00:52:26.720 for a moment and look at the bigger picture. First of all, speaking to the woman who wrote this,
00:52:34.520 your problem fundamentally is that you think you have to understand everything about the man you're
00:52:39.600 dating, but you can't and you won't. Woman will never fully comprehend man, just as man will never
00:52:46.340 fully comprehend woman. We are made for each other and yet we are mysteries to each other. That's the
00:52:50.920 essence of romance. The difference, though, is that man knows he cannot understand woman and he's okay
00:52:56.560 with that. Woman, in fact, becomes very frustrated by just how okay with it he is. So, you know,
00:53:03.100 she'll say something cryptic and out of context to him and he'll have no idea what she's talking about,
00:53:07.660 but he'll just go, oh, okay, okay, and then get back to what he's doing. And she'll stand there
00:53:13.780 stunned and say, well, aren't you going to ask me what I'm talking about? And he'll say, okay,
00:53:19.080 yeah, what were you talking about? And he'll just hope it isn't a long story, but it always is.
00:53:23.600 On the flip side, man can say nothing at all. He can simply walk into the room with a slightly
00:53:28.420 abnormal facial expression and woman will start interrogating and waterboarding him to extract
00:53:33.480 every last piece of information she can about this facial expression. What are you thinking?
00:53:37.320 She'll ask. And she won't accept it when he says nothing, even if that really is the answer.
00:53:43.040 She must understand everything about him, but she won't. And she can't accept that.
00:53:47.520 And even though she won't, I will now endeavor to lay out a few facts about men that may help women,
00:53:53.940 especially this one. The first is this. Every man dreams of two things, often related. Having a
00:54:02.960 secret door in his house that leads to a secret room and building a great tunnel. This tunnel might
00:54:08.540 connect one secret room to another, or it might simply go all the way down to the center of the
00:54:12.160 earth where we hope we'll expect to find goblins and dinosaurs and Elvis hiding out or whatever.
00:54:18.160 There's something cathartic about digging. We are called into the earth, into the caverns. We hear
00:54:23.080 the siren song, just as our forefathers did. Assuming our forefathers were meerkats or dwarves from
00:54:28.400 Middle Earth or something. You can't understand this. We don't understand this. And yet this is just how
00:54:33.320 it is. The other thing about men is that we're prone to becoming randomly obsessed with very weird
00:54:39.580 and specific things out of nowhere. Again, we cannot explain this. We shouldn't have to explain it.
00:54:46.540 For example, I recently decided that I want to get a giant aquarium with lots of rare and tropical fish
00:54:53.040 in my house. And I keep telling my wife about it, and she keeps wanting to understand why I'm obsessed
00:54:58.440 with being a fish owner all of a sudden. And I keep telling her that actually it's called fish keeping
00:55:02.480 according to all the videos I've watched about it. And she says, wait, you're watching videos about
00:55:06.520 people who own fish? And I say they're fish keepers. And yes. And around and around we go.
00:55:11.960 A man becomes bizarrely fixated on some arbitrary thing. A woman looks on confused. And it's the great
00:55:19.520 dance of life. Then we get to the biggest problem that I noticed in this story. Needless to say, I noticed
00:55:26.020 no problems with a man who simply wants nothing but to dig. All of the problems, as usual, are with the
00:55:32.300 woman. Especially when she acknowledges that the man is happy when he digs. He's fulfilled. He's doing what
00:55:38.260 he wants to do, what he's called to do. And yet she talked to her friend and decided that though he's
00:55:43.460 happy and seemingly mentally well-adjusted, he must be crazy. Women, listen. I know I'm not going to
00:55:50.900 stop you from talking to your friends. But just realize that if you, who spend every day with your
00:55:55.400 man, still struggle to understand all of his ways, then what chance does your friend have? What insight
00:56:02.000 can she really offer about him? What does she know? Is she even in a healthy relationship herself?
00:56:07.020 Has she even seen the tunnel? Or is she making judgments about the tunnel without all the facts?
00:56:15.180 A tale as old as time. The meddling friend. This is the scourge of men everywhere.
00:56:21.060 So, just stop that, ladies. Let the man be. Let him be a man. Let him dig. Let him get his $18,000
00:56:28.400 aquarium. Yes, it's $18,000. But it's worth the investment. And it helps with equity in your home
00:56:37.920 or something, maybe. Anyway, let him live. Damn it. That's all I'm saying. Otherwise,
00:56:43.720 you're canceled. And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.
00:56:47.180 Have a great day. Godspeed.
