The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 976 - Healing Racial Trauma With A 25-Foot Afro Pick

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, why did the city of New Orleans put a giant two-story tall hairpig

00:00:04.900 right outside City Hall to honor Juneteenth? We'll discuss also the Washington Post profiles

00:00:09.020 a young mother of twins in an effort to prove why abortion is good and necessary,

00:00:12.640 but they accidentally proved the opposite. Feminist Megan Rapinoe has a message for 1.00

00:00:16.300 female athletes, stop complaining and just let males take over your sport. That's girl power 1.00

00:00:21.620 for you, I guess now. Plus, the airline industry comes up with a new and horrifying way to make

00:00:25.720 your flying experience even more miserable. In our daily cancellation, UC Irvine comes up with a

00:00:30.800 new inclusive spelling of the word woman, but then worries that it's not inclusive enough.

00:00:35.580 Story so insane that you'll think I'm making it up, but I assure you I am not. We'll talk about

00:00:38.740 all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show. Well, you know, as inflation continues, it's important

00:00:51.380 to keep your budget and financial goals top of mind. Think about the things you can do today that

00:00:56.680 come out ahead. Like, for example, read Financing Your Mortgage. If it's not on your to-do list, it

00:01:01.260 should be because you might be able to consolidate high-interest debt into your home loan, which can

00:01:05.660 offer hundreds of dollars worth of monthly savings. And I know just the people to help. It's American

00:01:10.980 Financing. They're a family-owned mortgage lender that's known for its custom home loans and its no-pressure

00:01:16.000 approach to lending. They pride themselves in doing whatever it takes to set you up for financial

00:01:20.180 success. They can help you save up to $1,000 a month plus tens of thousands long-term, and we

00:01:24.940 could all use the savings these days. This may be an area of savings you haven't thought about,

00:01:29.140 but you really should. Why not learn more? All you got to do is call American Financing. Get a free,

00:01:34.620 no-obligation mortgage review right now. And if you start soon, you could close in as little as 10

00:01:39.320 days, and that means the savings kick in right away. So call 866-569-4711. That's 866-569-4711. Or visit

00:01:46.480 americanfinancing.net, NMLS, 8182-334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org.

00:01:52.980 Well, the results of a recent Gallup survey come as no surprise. According to the polling company,

00:01:58.500 belief in God has ebbed to its lowest level on record in the United States. 81% now say they

00:02:03.720 believe in God. This is down from what would have been close to 100% in the mid-20th century and any

00:02:08.760 time before that. It's also down from the 87% who believed in God only five years ago. But the biggest

00:02:14.700 shift can be seen in the youngest generation survey, Generation TikTok, with only 68% affirming

00:02:20.160 the existence of any sort of higher power. Now, if you break this down even further, as many surveys

00:02:25.060 have, and you investigate how many Americans identify themselves as traditionally religious apart from

00:02:30.940 simply believing in God, the numbers are even lower. In 2020, American church membership dipped

00:02:35.960 below majority for the first time with 47% saying that they were members of a church. That number was

00:02:42.780 70% in 1999. Now, these figures are significant, historically so, and they tell us quite a lot.

00:02:50.080 But here's what they don't tell us, that Americans have no religion. Membership in and identification

00:02:56.420 with traditional theistic religions may be declining precipitously, but there is something

00:03:03.220 coming in to take its place. America, in fact, is still a deeply religious country, always has been,

00:03:09.260 is now, probably always will be. It's just that a different religion, a twisted, shallow, perverse, 1.00

00:03:16.220 and destructive one, has achieved cultural and institutional dominance. In fact, far from being 0.95

00:03:21.800 an irreligious or secular country, we're actually living in a theocracy of sorts right now.

00:03:27.640 But our theocratic dictators belong to the religion of leftism. Now, like any religion, this one has its own

00:03:34.560 holy days of obligation. We're living through, of course, its most sacred observance of Pride Month.

00:03:39.940 Competing with it for attention is the leftist religious holiday that just passed, which was

00:03:43.820 Juneteenth, which fell on Sunday and then was observed as a federal holiday on Monday. Supposedly,

00:03:49.780 the day is meant to commemorate the abolition of slavery and to celebrate freedom, a worthy thing to

00:03:54.760 celebrate, no doubt. But that's not really the intention of those who advocate for this version of the

00:04:00.820 holiday. Neither was it the intention of Joe Biden when he made it a federal holiday last year. Now,

00:04:05.920 let's recall that a year before that, on the campaign trail, so in 2020, a year before making

00:04:11.780 it a federal holiday, Biden didn't even know what Juneteenth was. Let's watch this again.

00:04:16.760 He's going down at Texas on Juneteenth, right? The first major massacre, literally speaking, of the

00:04:23.880 Black Wall Street, right? Years ago. He's going to have a rally. He's going to have a rally.

00:04:32.800 And he doesn't wear a mask. And he doesn't think he's saying, I mean, come on.

00:04:36.980 You know, he's so unsure of himself. He keeps saying, right? That's what, right? This is the

00:04:40.420 right thing. No, wrong. That's not. That's not what Juneteenth is. But of course, you know,

00:04:43.540 and this is actually the evolution of Juneteenth. And the reason why it became a thing is partly the

00:04:51.700 BLM riots. But even more than that, it was because Donald Trump was doing a rally on June

00:04:57.920 19th. And someone in the media pointed out that, oh, you know, that's Juneteenth. And then everyone

00:05:04.380 in the country pretended they knew what it was so that they could blame Trump for doing something

00:05:08.740 offensive for some reason by having a rally on Juneteenth. And it was at that moment that the

00:05:13.180 left decided, oh, this is a thing now. We're going to make this a thing nationwide. Twelve months after

00:05:18.460 that, Biden, who had never even heard of it, but now, 12 months later, decided that it was so deeply

00:05:24.280 meaningful that it needed to be federally recognized. During his remarks for the signing

00:05:30.060 of the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, Biden said that Juneteenth is a, quote,

00:05:34.960 day in which we remember the moral stain, the terrible toll that slavery took on the country

00:05:40.060 and continues to take. And that we must, quote, learn from our history and celebrate progress

00:05:45.560 and grapple with the distance we've come, but the distance we have to travel.

00:05:51.720 So Juneteenth is not so much a celebration of freedom as it is an opportunity to reflect on the

00:05:57.300 moral stain somehow shared by people who had nothing to do with slavery at all.

00:06:02.780 And it's also a time to dwell on the supposed systemic injustices still visited upon black people

00:06:08.100 by white people. White guilt is the original sin of the leftist religion. It's really the only sin, 0.99

00:06:14.460 as every other sin they recognized, always ties back to whiteness, quote unquote. Juneteenth then 0.76

00:06:20.620 becomes like maybe their version of Good Friday, a day of atonement. And that is why the media marked

00:06:29.020 Juneteenth this year with talk of reparations. Time magazine headline, Juneteenth is now a national

00:06:34.600 holiday. Are reparations next? Many similar headlines were published claiming that reparations must come

00:06:41.420 next. It's the natural next step after Juneteenth. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee attended a worship

00:06:47.900 service at a church in Houston for Juneteenth, where she called for exactly that, reparations. Listen.

00:06:53.820 As the pastor said, it is time for the commission to study slavery and develop reparation proposals

00:07:00.620 so that we can heal the land and heal the nation. I expect

00:07:05.900 that there will be, as it is understood, no snatching from someone else. No one is gonna knock on your door

00:07:16.060 and snatch something that you have. But the nation will acknowledge and be able to respond to the

00:07:25.820 challenge of, this is Boston, that we all should learn, we all should read, we all should have an

00:07:30.620 equal opportunity education and healthcare. That's what we want, the nation to respond to the systemic

00:07:38.460 treatment that has come, that has caused the divide. There will be no snatching, she says.

00:07:46.140 We're not gonna snatch anything. She perhaps hasn't noticed that there's quite a lot of snatching going

00:07:50.700 on in our cities right now. A lot was happening during the BLM riots. And that snatching was

00:07:56.620 explicitly justified as an act of reparations. Although she did say, nobody's gonna knock on

00:08:01.500 your door and snatch something. So maybe that's the technicality here, is that generally when they

00:08:06.300 do the snatching and the looting, they don't knock on the door first, they just walk in. So I guess in

00:08:10.700 a way she's right. But that wasn't enough, the reparations of looting wasn't enough, because in

00:08:15.580 the religion of leftism, nothing is ever actually enough to wash away the white guilt and heal the 0.84

00:08:21.260 racial wounds. So now the nation must respond by giving more free things to people like Sheila Jackson

00:08:27.820 Lee, who was never enslaved, and yet demands payment for sins committed by long dead people

00:08:33.500 against other long dead people. This makes no sense until you understand it properly as a religious 0.87

00:08:40.220 claim. That's why there's no hint of patriotism in the Juneteenth celebrations. Not patriotism for,

00:08:46.860 you know, America at any rate. The flags that adorned the Juneteenth Google Doodle were not American

00:08:53.300 flags, but Pan-African flags. And those, in fact, are the flags you see flying for every Juneteenth

00:08:59.360 celebration. This is the flag that students in at least one school were forced to swear their allegiance to

00:09:06.600 in honor of Juneteenth. Watch this. Fist up. On the count of three. One, two, three. I pledge allegiance

00:09:18.600 to the flag of the Afro-American people. Under God, I will protect freedom. Seek peace, honor our ancestors,

00:09:30.600 and encourage and support the development and prosperity of people of African descent. You may be

00:09:40.760 seated. Now, whatever a holiday actually celebrating freedom and emancipation could be, and it could be

00:09:48.080 a wonderful thing. Actually, we know that because we already have one. It's called July 4th, and that's

00:09:53.060 wonderful. That's a true patriotic celebration. But whatever else it could be, it's not this.

00:09:57.840 That's not what Juneteenth, as it has been established now, is about. The spirit of

00:10:03.960 Juneteenth is best summarized by Malina Abdullah, who's professor of Pan-African Studies at Cal State

00:10:10.540 in LA. And she tweeted this. Attention, white people. Please don't ask if you can come to the

00:10:15.880 cookout. Juneteenth is Freedom Day for black folks. It should be Reparations Day for white folks. 0.98

00:10:22.300 Right. Racial division, hierarchy. This is an important aspect of a leftist religion. 0.87

00:10:30.420 Not a day for everyone, she says. Certainly not a time for everyone to join in the festivities.

00:10:36.200 You leprous white people must stay hidden away, wallowing in your guilt, while superior races of 1.00

00:10:41.680 people can just party on without you. The most crucial thing to remember about this religion is 0.99

00:10:47.200 that it is fully by design, destructive and ugly. The religions that it supplants tend to strive for 1.00

00:10:55.760 joy and beauty, but not the religion of leftism, which is why it prowls the country, looking for

00:11:00.740 beautiful, priceless monuments and statues and works of art to topple, and then replaces them with

00:11:06.000 nothing. Or else, even worse, replaces them with something so hideous and absurd as to seem like some

00:11:11.840 kind of practical joke. Now, that was the case down in New Orleans, where the statue of John McDonough

00:11:17.200 was torn down in 2020 and finally replaced this weekend by, I'm not kidding or making this up,

00:11:24.680 a statue of a gigantic two-story hair pic. Again, not a joke. You can see it for yourself. At least not

00:11:33.020 an intentional joke anyway. Nor is this meant to be a tribute to space balls, as many people thought

00:11:38.760 maybe it was. It's not even that. The mayor of New Orleans on Saturday proudly unveiled a 25-foot-tall

00:11:46.480 steel afro pic with a black power fist at the top. Perhaps now that they're making monuments out of 0.92

00:11:54.940 random toiletry items, next we'll get a 50-foot-high can of right guard aerosol deodorant. Maybe Eric

00:12:01.180 Adams in New York will consider replacing the Statue of Liberty with like a giant toothbrush. At least that

00:12:07.080 would promote dental hygiene. I'm not sure what the hell this gargantuan afro pic is supposed to 1.00

00:12:12.520 represent or promote. Now, I say that rhetorically, of course. I know what it represents. It represents

00:12:18.320 the hideous emptiness at the core of the leftist religion. They can tear down and destroy and

00:12:24.920 destabilize, but when it comes time to build something of their own, this is what they come

00:12:29.840 up with. They have no actual ideas about anything. They just know what they hate.

00:12:37.900 They don't know what they love. They don't know what they want.

00:12:42.220 They're not building beautiful, masterfully made monuments to more politically acceptable

00:12:48.480 historical figures. That's not what's happening. And that's partly because at this point, there really

00:12:53.340 are no politically acceptable historical figures. Maybe somebody like Harriet Tubman or Frederick

00:12:58.000 Douglass might seem like safe choices, but we can be relatively certain that even those historical

00:13:03.400 figures would have had some pretty problematic views about some things, say about like homosexuality

00:13:08.340 or transgenderism, if anybody ever asked them. So the left, they have no heroes to champion, 0.65

00:13:15.260 except maybe George Floyd, Karl Marx. Those are two guys. But more than that, the reason they don't

00:13:20.780 replace a beautiful statue with a different but equally beautiful statue is that beauty is one of the

00:13:27.560 things they seek to destroy. This is what happens when you make a religion out of nihilism.

00:13:34.600 Everything becomes ugly. It's also no coincidence that the pride flag, which was gaudy and ridiculous 1.00

00:13:41.580 looking to begin with, has just gotten uglier and uglier with each successive pride month. 1.00

00:13:49.900 A religion out of nihilism, out of ugliness, out of self-worship and narcissism. 0.97

00:13:54.080 A religion out of your most base and shallow and degraded impulses.

00:13:59.960 When you do that, you end up with a decaying culture,

00:14:03.620 child drag queens, racial animosity turned into a holiday.

00:14:09.600 And you also end up with some things that maybe you wouldn't expect,

00:14:12.780 like giant hair products outside of City Hall.

00:14:15.240 But all of this is part of the religion.

00:14:19.880 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:14:27.900 Life happens fast, and it can end even faster.

00:14:31.880 You might picture yourself living to a ripe old age, but it doesn't always work out that way.

00:14:36.360 And if it doesn't, you're going to want to have a plan in place.

00:14:39.240 Otherwise, the state, people you hate, the people who are trying to indoctrinate your kids,

00:14:43.020 take your guns, steal your freedom.

00:14:45.120 They're going to step in and take control of your assets when you're gone.

00:14:47.800 They're going to determine what legacy you leave behind.

00:14:50.780 So don't let the state decide what happens to your children should something happen to you.

00:14:54.600 And that could happen at any moment.

00:14:56.380 Instead, take five minutes and set up a will through Epic Will, starting at just $119. 1.00

00:15:00.940 You choose who raises your kids, and you choose who gets all of your useless dumb crap after you're gone. 0.99

00:15:26.420 So I want to start with this.

00:15:27.540 We have here an article from The Washington Post written by Caroline Kitchener

00:15:31.580 that really lays the pro-abortion position to bear, I think.

00:15:35.100 There's no dancing around the subject here.

00:15:37.120 Not really, anyway.

00:15:37.920 Abortion kills babies, and that's a good thing, according to pro-aborts, because babies are bad.

00:15:44.420 And that's the position laid out in this Washington Post piece through the profile of a young mother of twins.

00:15:51.120 And the headline is,

00:15:52.640 This Texas teen wanted an abortion. 1.00

00:15:55.440 She now has twins.

00:15:57.500 And accompanying the headline is a picture of, as you can see, two adorable little twin babies.

00:16:03.740 And we're supposed to see this picture and immediately think how sad it is that those babies exist and are alive,

00:16:16.940 rather than dead and dismembered and rotting away somewhere.

00:16:21.120 This is an actual headline in The Washington Post with pictures of little twin babies that says,

00:16:25.760 Well, now look what you did, pro-lifers.

00:16:28.640 Now these babies exist.

00:16:31.640 That's what Caroline Kitchener of The Washington Post wants us to think, anyway, when we see infant babies.

00:16:35.680 So let's get to the article.

00:16:37.540 It doesn't get any better in the article itself.

00:16:39.740 So read me through a little bit of this.

00:16:40.860 She says, she writes,

00:16:42.960 Brooke Alexander turned off her breast pump at 6.04 p.m. 0.76

00:16:46.540 and brought two fresh bottles of milk over to the bed where her three-month-old twins lay flat on their backs, red-faced and crying.

00:16:53.360 Running on four hours of sleep, the 18-year-old tried to feed both babies at once,

00:16:57.620 holding Kendall in her arms while she tried to get Olivia to feed herself her bottle propped up by a pillow.

00:17:03.140 But the bottle kept slipping and the babies kept wailing.

00:17:05.100 And Brooke's boyfriend, Billy High, wouldn't be home for another five hours.

00:17:09.000 Please, fussy girl, Brooke whispered. 0.99

00:17:11.320 She peeked outside the room, just big enough for a full-size mattress, and realized she had barely seen the sun all day.

00:17:17.220 The windows were covered by blankets, pinned up with thumbtacks to keep the room cool.

00:17:21.020 Brooke rarely ventured into the rest of the house.

00:17:22.980 Billy's dad had taken them in when her mom kicked them out, and she didn't want to get in his way.

00:17:29.600 Brooke found out she was pregnant late on the night of August 29th, 0.99

00:17:32.220 two days before the Texas Heartbeat Act banned abortions once an ultrasound could detect cardiac activity.

00:17:38.340 Around six weeks of pregnancy.

00:17:40.160 It was the most restrictive abortion law to take effect in the United States in nearly 50 years.

00:17:43.680 Now, if you're pro-life, meaning that you love and appreciate life, and you think life is a good thing, right?

00:17:51.620 Then you hear the first part of this profile, and you might think that this will turn into a story of a young mother who was prevented from killing her two children.

00:18:04.000 And though she now has financial hardship, she also is experiencing the beauty of motherhood and of her children.

00:18:10.860 And she's grateful to have them, and she's learning to embrace this new and unexpected reality of motherhood.

00:18:17.360 And, like, that's all a good thing, you know?

00:18:22.420 That's the way you might see this as a pro-lifer.

00:18:25.520 But this story is coming to us from a death-worshipping nihilist, so it kind of takes another direction.

00:18:31.380 And it continues.

00:18:31.960 Texas offers a glimpse of what much of the country would face if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade this summer, as has been widely expected.

00:18:39.960 If the landmark precedent falls, roughly half the states in the country are expected to dramatically restrict abortion or ban it altogether, creating vast abortion deserts that will push many into parenthood.

00:18:50.380 Sometimes Brooke imagined her life if she hadn't gotten pregnant, and if Texas hadn't banned abortion just days after she decided that she wanted one.

00:18:57.000 She would have been in school, rushing from class to her shift to Texas Roadhouse, eyes on a real estate license that would finally get her out of Corpus Christi. 0.56

00:19:05.080 She pictured an apartment in Austin, enough money for a trip to Hawaii, where she would swim with dolphins in water so clear she could see her toes.

00:19:13.380 Now, from there, we're told the whole story of how she got pregnant, then tried to get in for an abortion before the law took effect, but she couldn't.

00:19:23.320 So then she went for an ultrasound. 1.00

00:19:24.880 She was hoping the baby wouldn't have a heartbeat, but then it turned out that the baby did, and in fact, there were two of them, so now she has two daughters.

00:19:31.460 And then we get passages like this.

00:19:33.680 If it wasn't for the Texas law, Brooke knew she might not be standing here.

00:19:37.500 She'd probably be studying for her next exam while Billy mastered some new trick on the quarter pipe.

00:19:42.840 She liked to think that they'd still be together, spending their money on movie tickets and Whataburger instead of diapers and baby wipes.

00:19:48.920 Now, of course, the life of a mother of two beautiful children is far more meaningful and interesting and important than just like hanging out at a fast food restaurant.

00:20:02.940 So it almost seems like this is supposed to be a pro-life story, right?

00:20:08.340 Especially when we're told, actually, later on in the article, and it goes on for quite a while, we're told that Brooke married the father of her children.

00:20:18.680 So she did the right thing.

00:20:19.780 She married the father, and they formed a nuclear family, and that she loves her babies, and she's happy to have them now.

00:20:27.920 And we're also told that she doesn't want to think about what would have happened without the Texas law because she knows that they probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that law.

00:20:38.920 Okay, and all of that is in the article, and yet the writer makes her feelings known in the headline.

00:20:45.740 And also by the fact that she's an abortion reporter for the Washington Post, and she's not shy about her pro-abortion radicalism.

00:20:52.080 She retweets Planned Parenthood all the time, so she's an advocate for abortion.

00:20:55.960 And yet it just kind of goes to show that even when writing this profile, again, the writer, Caroline Kitchener, made her intentions clear.

00:21:07.560 This is supposed to be a sad story about a woman whose life was destroyed by the presence of two beautiful babies.

00:21:17.740 And yet you read through the entire article, and you're kind of left thinking, well, is this supposed to be pro-life?

00:21:25.960 Because it sounds like this pregnancy was an unexpected turn, and she didn't want the pregnancy at first, but now she has the babies, and she's grateful to have them, and she's living a more meaningful life.

00:21:38.580 And yeah, there are more challenges now, but she has resolve, and she's getting past it.

00:21:44.020 And so that's a positive thing, right?

00:21:46.180 And now these two beautiful babies are living, whereas they wouldn't have been living before.

00:21:56.100 And it shows that really any honest discussion of the issue ends up sounding pro-life, even if it isn't supposed to be.

00:22:03.460 If you're just honest, and you tell a story, and even if we're supposed to take a pro-abortion message away from it, we don't.

00:22:17.120 Because that's where honesty on the subject of abortion always points to the pro-life message.

00:22:21.940 And that's especially the case with this article here.

00:22:25.580 All right, this is from CNN.

00:22:26.660 Jennifer Lopez and her child M. Maribel Munez, 14, are being praised for a recent duet, but not because of the music.

00:22:35.100 The pair took the stage recently at the L.A. Dodgers Blue Diamond Gala.

00:22:39.380 Lopez introduced M using the gender-neutral pronouns they and them.

00:22:43.520 Lopez said in a video, the last time we performed together was in a big stadium like this, and I ask them to sing with me all the time, and they won't.

00:22:53.880 So this is a very special occasion.

00:22:56.040 They are very, very busy and pricey.

00:22:59.440 They cost me when they come out, but they're worth every single penny because they're my favorite duet partner of all time.

00:23:05.420 She's talking about her child this whole time with the they, her individual.

00:23:08.900 These are not twins.

00:23:09.640 This is just one person.

00:23:10.600 So Jennifer Lopez is the latest celebrity with a non-binary child.

00:23:16.380 All the celebrities have non-binary children now.

00:23:19.320 They used to be adopting, you know, the trend among celebrities used to be that they would all adopt Chinese babies as a fashion statement, and now they're all transing their own kids as fashion statements. 0.90

00:23:30.640 But it is, it's so transparent what they're doing.

00:23:35.420 That this becomes a trend, and then, what do you know, the trendsetters in Hollywood, they all discover magically that they happen to have non-binary and trans kids.

00:23:47.580 How do you explain that scientifically?

00:23:49.560 If this is all a natural scientific phenomenon, you know, none of this is social contagion, none of this, this is not a trend at all.

00:23:57.080 Oh, nobody would choose to be trans, nobody would choose to be non-binary, nobody would choose this for their kid.

00:24:02.860 That's not happening.

00:24:04.780 Well, then, then why is it so common?

00:24:06.740 Why is it every celebrity now has a kid like this?

00:24:11.120 Is something in the water in California?

00:24:13.080 Makes no sense at all, except as this is a fashion statement, and these are people who parade their kids around as fashion accessories.

00:24:24.480 And it's really as simple as that.

00:24:27.680 On a similar topic, this is from the Daily Wire.

00:24:29.600 It says, soccer superstar and political activist Megan Rapinoe argued in an interview published Sunday that female athletes and their parents need to suck it up over advantages biologically male transgender athletes might have over girls.

00:24:43.080 Now, keep in mind, Megan Rapinoe, a couple things to keep in mind about her. 0.98

00:24:47.400 First of all, she's a viscerally repulsive, unlikable person, so that's the first thing. 0.77

00:24:53.980 Also, she's supposed to be a feminist hero and champion. 1.00

00:24:57.120 She's supposed to be a champion for women's rights and all the girl power stuff. 1.00

00:25:01.980 So remember that as we read through here.

00:25:04.720 And also remember that the, and every time we read anything about Megan Rapinoe, I always have to remind you because it's so great,

00:25:11.040 that the women's Olympic soccer team, the women's world champion soccer team, lost to a group of 15-year-old boys in a scrimmage a few years ago. 0.99

00:25:21.860 So if men were to fully invade women's soccer, Megan Rapinoe and all of her teammates, they would all be out on their asses. 0.95

00:25:33.080 There would be no place for any of them because they would be totally dominated, as they were totally dominated by just by adolescent kids. 0.98

00:25:43.340 In spite of that, we continue.

00:25:46.100 The soccer star told Time magazine she is 100% supportive of trans inclusion in girls sports, dismissing concerns about fairness while emphasizing that people need to understand that sports is not the most important thing in life.

00:26:00.180 Rapinoe also argued that high-level sports are all about regulation, which the athlete apparently believes can erase trans athletes' advantages.

00:26:10.660 Quote,

00:26:11.000 I would also encourage everyone out there who is afraid someone's going to have an unfair advantage over their kid to really take a step back and think what we're actually talking about here.

00:26:20.260 We're talking about people's lives.

00:26:22.680 I'm sorry your kid's high school volleyball team just isn't that important.

00:26:26.360 And I think people also need to understand that sports is not the most important thing in life, right?

00:26:31.860 Life is the most important thing in life.

00:26:34.020 We're talking about kids.

00:26:35.280 We're talking about people's lives.

00:26:36.760 We're talking about the entire state government coming down on one child in some states, three children in some states.

00:26:44.400 This, of course, as you might expect, makes no sense at all.

00:26:47.260 If it's just sports, and sports aren't that important, and it's just a volleyball team, as she says, then why can't we say that to the quote-unquote trans kid? 0.94

00:26:59.920 The male who's identifying as a female.

00:27:04.200 So what you're saying is it's just sports.

00:27:06.220 Okay, let me try to work through this here.

00:27:08.740 It's just sports.

00:27:09.480 Let's take the volleyball example, okay, hypothetically.

00:27:12.460 It's just volleyball.

00:27:13.620 It's just a volleyball team.

00:27:14.700 Who cares?

00:27:16.620 And yet, if a male who identifies as a female is not allowed to compete against the females in this volleyball team that's just a volleyball team and it's just sports, that will be a threat to his life. 0.98

00:27:29.140 His life depends on being able to compete against female volleyball players.

00:27:36.160 And yet it's just a sport and it doesn't matter.

00:27:39.580 Does that make any sense at all?

00:27:41.660 Why can't we flip this around is my question.

00:27:47.960 So Megan Rapinoe, the feminist girl power champion, is saying to female athletes, it's just sports. 1.00

00:27:56.940 Who cares?

00:27:57.380 You get your opportunities stolen.

00:27:59.320 Get over it.

00:28:02.000 Okay, it's really not that important.

00:28:04.360 Why can't we say that to the trans person? 1.00

00:28:08.720 The trans person says, oh, I really want to compete against females. 1.00

00:28:10.880 Well, it's just sports.

00:28:12.080 Who cares?

00:28:12.580 Get over it.

00:28:13.960 My life depends on it.

00:28:15.080 No, your life doesn't depend on it, actually.

00:28:16.760 You'll be fine.

00:28:17.980 Go compete against the men.

00:28:19.220 I don't want to compete against the men.

00:28:20.320 Okay, then don't.

00:28:21.040 Then don't compete against anybody.

00:28:22.280 It's just sports.

00:28:24.360 So we're not taking your life from you.

00:28:25.620 We're not killing you.

00:28:26.880 We're just saying you can't compete against women because you're not one. 1.00

00:28:29.320 Oh, my feelings are hurt.

00:28:33.560 Well, then get over it.

00:28:36.160 Your feelings aren't that important.

00:28:37.720 So you can say that to every girl on the team.

00:28:40.620 You can say to them, your feelings just aren't that important.

00:28:42.560 Sorry.

00:28:44.320 And if they start complaining about it, you can laugh in their face.

00:28:46.740 So why can't we do that to the trans people then? 1.00

00:28:49.600 That's what you're doing to the women. 1.00

00:28:50.800 Why can't I do that to them?

00:28:52.320 Because in that case, I think it's much more appropriate.

00:29:00.640 When you've got one person trying to make a claim and trying to impose themselves on a whole group of people and intrude in a place where they don't belong.

00:29:16.020 You know, and we have both groups now, and one group is an entire group, and the other group is just one person.

00:29:25.540 But both groups are saying that their feelings will be hurt, among other things, if the other person gets their way.

00:29:31.980 We have to turn to one group or the other and say, your feelings just aren't that important here.

00:29:38.040 That's not the primary concern here.

00:29:40.000 One group or the other, we have to say that to.

00:29:42.680 One group or the other has to get the hard message.

00:29:46.020 So are we going to say to all the girls, your feelings don't matter, or are we going to say that to that one guy?

00:29:54.720 I am more than happy to say it to the one guy.

00:29:58.440 Your feelings just aren't that important here.

00:30:00.260 It's not the most important thing.

00:30:02.560 In fact, fairness is more important.

00:30:07.960 Preserving female sports in the integrity of female sports is more important than your feelings. 1.00

00:30:11.860 But more important than all of that is simply the truth, the basic truth.

00:30:18.500 That's the most important thing of all.

00:30:21.000 And your feelings are not more important than the truth.

00:30:23.320 They're not more important.

00:30:24.580 Nobody's feelings are more important than the truth.

00:30:26.500 And of course, everything that I'm saying right now is seen as horrifically cruel and transphobic.

00:30:34.760 And Media Matters is going to take it and they're going to clip it and put it on Twitter, which is fine.

00:30:40.420 But if I was saying all of this about all the girl athletes in the country, get over it, your feelings don't matter, just stop whining.

00:30:47.260 And that would be fine.

00:30:49.080 That would be a perfectly acceptable message.

00:30:53.800 That's what doesn't make any sense.

00:30:55.420 All right.

00:30:55.860 We have another moment of lucidity from Kamala Harris here talking to Joy Reid.

00:31:00.780 And I want you to listen.

00:31:01.980 When you're listening to this, listen for something in particular.

00:31:04.960 Keep in mind as you listen that Kamala Harris never knows what the next word she's going to say will be until she says it.

00:31:14.440 Okay, so when she's speaking, and you can hear it in her voice, you can see it in the blank look in her eyes, the kind of almost panicked look she gives every time she's asked any question at all.

00:31:25.060 She never, she says a word and she doesn't know what the next word's going to be.

00:31:29.520 And she doesn't know where the sentence is going to end until it ends.

00:31:34.200 Once you realize that, it all starts to make sense.

00:31:36.140 Let's listen.

00:31:36.800 We all sat and watched the Ketanji Brown-Jackson hearings in which she very calmly sat through what I think a lot of, particularly black women, let's just be honest, felt was brazen disrespect from senators like Lindsey Graham, senators like Tom Cotton, senators like Josh Hawley. 1.00

00:31:57.640 What did you think when you watched that hearing?

00:31:59.840 I will tell you, Joy, I experienced great joy when I watched this brilliant, phenomenal black woman, jurist, be so smart

00:32:24.740 and just cut through the political gamesmanship that they were attempting to incite.

00:32:35.700 And she just was composed.

00:32:39.640 And as far as I'm concerned, was taking a whole lot of people to school.

00:32:43.140 And I watched that with incredible joy because it was just brilliance being displayed for the entire country to see.

00:32:56.120 And I cannot wait to see it.

00:32:58.200 That will only be matched by the joy that I experience when I see her take the oath to be the next justice on the United States Supreme Court.

00:33:09.780 I told you, she has no idea what she's going to say, what the next word is going to be.

00:33:13.500 When I was a kid, I don't know if other people play this game.

00:33:15.260 I don't know if we invented this game or not.

00:33:16.600 But when I was a kid, we used to play this game, me and my siblings, in the car on long car trips.

00:33:24.140 And I'm sure it tortured my parents.

00:33:26.820 And the game was that one person would say a word.

00:33:31.300 And then the next person had to say a word.

00:33:34.120 And one by one, you'd build a sentence.

00:33:36.360 But the goal was that you couldn't be the one to end the sentence.

00:33:41.180 So your word had to make sense in the context as it's being built.

00:33:45.000 But you had to keep extending the sentence.

00:33:47.120 That was the game.

00:33:48.680 We were a bunch of nerds.

00:33:50.100 These are the kinds of games we played.

00:33:51.460 And that's basically what Kamala Harris is doing with herself in her own brain every time she speaks. 1.00

00:33:57.800 You can see it there.

00:33:58.880 I will tell you, I experience great joy when I watch this brilliant black woman, jurist.

00:34:20.480 There's a question.

00:34:21.500 There's also a question mark at the end of every word she says.

00:34:24.320 It's amazing.

00:34:28.600 And this is going to be their hope in 2024, is what you just saw there.

00:34:32.860 Or maybe not.

00:34:33.860 We have this from the Daily Wire.

00:34:34.840 It says,

00:34:35.020 A new poll revealed that the majority of the American public wants a fresh face in the Oval Office

00:34:39.440 and not a recycling of President Biden or former President Trump.

00:34:43.820 Biden will be two weeks shy of 82 years old by the time of the November 2024 elections.

00:34:48.800 Trump will be 78 years old.

00:34:50.320 A June 10th Yahoo poll found a whopping 64% of respondents felt Biden should not run for re-election in 2024.

00:34:58.080 Only 21% thought that he should run again, while 15% could not decide which side to take, of course.

00:35:05.220 Across the board, it did not matter whom the poll surveyed.

00:35:08.420 All groups wound up with roughly the same percentages of respondents agreeing Biden should not run.

00:35:13.000 66% of women, 62% of men, 65% of those ages 18 to 29.

00:35:17.280 I mean, this is just a total disaster for the Democrats.

00:35:20.340 The only group that was somewhat less hostile to Biden running again were African-American respondents,

00:35:24.840 among whom 49% thought that he should not run.

00:35:29.200 And let's see.

00:35:32.120 Again, it says the Yahoo, YouGov poll found that 55% of respondents felt Trump.

00:35:38.060 So here's the Trump numbers.

00:35:39.540 55% of respondents felt Trump should not run for re-election in 2024.

00:35:43.280 31% thought that he should run again, while 14% could not decide which side to take.

00:35:50.720 I don't know.

00:35:51.160 I never understand that I don't know people.

00:35:53.780 And why do you even bother?

00:35:56.160 Two things, two categories I don't understand.

00:35:57.780 The people that actually take these polls, I don't understand it.

00:35:59.840 But then the people who take them and then just say, I don't know.

00:36:02.920 Hey, we want to survey you about this.

00:36:04.240 Okay, sure.

00:36:05.120 And then every single question you ask, I was like, I don't know.

00:36:07.620 Yeah, I don't know.

00:36:08.880 I'm going to take this survey, but I have no opinions about anything.

00:36:11.660 But I'll still take your survey.

00:36:14.560 So Trump fares a little bit better, but not much better.

00:36:17.520 55% said they don't want him to run for re-election.

00:36:20.440 And this is because, you know, it turns out that there are a lot of people in the country.

00:36:27.160 This is a country of the population of 330 million, not counting all the illegals,

00:36:33.220 who maybe we're getting to a point where even they'll be able to run for election.

00:36:36.900 And so there are a lot of people, and it's just really hard for me to believe

00:36:43.000 that the only and best qualified candidates are in their late 70s and early 80s.

00:36:52.360 Okay, that can't be the case.

00:36:55.140 If that's the case, then we're just doomed.

00:36:59.040 We might as well not have any more presidential elections.

00:37:01.560 We might just close up shop.

00:37:04.560 There's no hope for us.

00:37:05.700 If it's actually the case that the two best potential candidates are respectively 78 years

00:37:13.020 old and 82 years old, and there's nobody younger than that who should have a chance, then we're

00:37:19.320 done.

00:37:21.160 I mean, the baby boomer generation, they have been hanging on to the reins of power desperately 1.00

00:37:26.580 for decades, and they won't let go.

00:37:28.860 And I guess they would tell us that's because nobody younger is qualified, which means that

00:37:37.100 they've failed as a generation to raise the next generation.

00:37:39.920 That's one of your most basic duties as a generation is to raise up the next generation.

00:37:44.600 So you're saying you've totally failed in that regard?

00:37:46.400 But if that's true, then there's simply no point, no hope at all.

00:37:54.640 But I'm not quite willing to accept that yet.

00:37:57.900 I think that there are some people shy of, say, their 70th birthday who maybe should get

00:38:05.080 a shot at this thing.

00:38:06.160 I don't know. 0.80

00:38:06.920 Just a thought.

00:38:07.460 All right, here's from the New York Post.

00:38:09.260 It says, delays, canceled flights, and being stuck in the middle seat may no longer be

00:38:13.220 people's biggest air travel concerns.

00:38:15.900 A new possibility awaits.

00:38:18.020 Double-decker-style airplane seats for coach.

00:38:22.360 Just like the bus, one row is above another with the top level reached by the stairs.

00:38:27.660 You can see the picture there.

00:38:29.680 Okay, this is what they're talking about.

00:38:30.860 The designer, Alejandro Nunes-Vincente, has come up with this plan, and I guess he's pitching

00:38:36.800 this to airlines, and so this is, they call this double-decker.

00:38:41.740 Now, you think of a double-decker plane, and they used to have those, you know, like

00:38:45.620 back in the early days of commercial airline, they had double-decker planes, these huge planes.

00:38:50.240 But no, this is not really double-decker.

00:38:51.620 These are on the same level of the plane, but you, you know, you would, if you're on

00:38:57.860 the lower level, your face would be directly up against somebody's rear end, basically.

00:39:02.380 They are trying to find ways to make the airplane experience even worse every moment.

00:39:10.180 That's what they want to do. 0.99

00:39:12.260 I mean, this is, now they want to put somebody's ass directly in your face. 0.99

00:39:15.600 They figure, I guess, you can't smell the farts well enough on planes already, so they 0.99

00:39:19.660 want to fix that problem.

00:39:21.240 And now you'll be able to smell, you know, the guy in front of you who's eaten the burrito

00:39:24.640 bowl.

00:39:25.160 You can smell his lunch on both ends, I suppose.

00:39:28.540 It is kind of amazing that the airline industry is the one industry, maybe not the only one,

00:39:35.740 but one of the major ones, where they're constantly thinking of ways to make their services even

00:39:40.500 more miserable and unpleasant.

00:39:42.940 And I'll never get over the fact that airplanes have somehow declined in quality over the past

00:39:48.340 50 years.

00:39:50.760 Okay, how is that possible?

00:39:52.180 How has it gotten worse?

00:39:53.800 How has air travel gotten worse in the last half century?

00:39:57.040 I mean, it's safer.

00:39:58.780 Okay, so you're less likely to crash into the side of a mountain, which is nice.

00:40:02.320 That's not nothing.

00:40:03.880 But the trade-off is that you'll want to crash into the side of a mountain because of how

00:40:07.540 terrible the experience is.

00:40:09.540 People 50 years ago, you know, I mean, they would, they dress up to get on the planes and

00:40:14.160 it was just night.

00:40:15.160 They, these, no matter where you sat on the plane, you had a lot of room, a lot of space.

00:40:19.220 They serve you full five course dinners and everything.

00:40:22.460 And they were thinking, based on what air travel is today, they were thinking 50 years from

00:40:29.120 now, we're all going to be flying through the sky at lightning speed in our own personal

00:40:33.940 flying spas with a robot servant waiting on us.

00:40:38.880 But instead, we're packed in like slaves on a galley ship, our faces directly in the firing

00:40:46.280 line of another passenger's butt with three inches of leg room, chained to the seats, forced

00:40:53.420 to flap our arms out the window to keep the plane in the sky. 0.63

00:40:58.360 That's what it's like in coach anyway, which is why I just fly first class to avoid all of

00:41:02.360 that.

00:41:02.760 Not to brag, but first class is so much better.

00:41:05.340 That's one of the things in life that's totally worth the investment.

00:41:08.840 So I recommend it for everyone.

00:41:11.000 You know, with the ever increasing numbers of car makes and models, it's impossible to

00:41:15.560 stock all the parts you need in a traditional chain storefront.

00:41:18.180 Why endure often pointless or even intimidating questions about the specifications of your vehicle

00:41:23.700 only to have the counterman order the parts on his computer anyway?

00:41:28.740 First you walk in, the counterman is intimidating you with questions, doesn't even have what you

00:41:32.300 need.

00:41:32.580 You're traumatized, you're sad, you run out in tears, you're shaking.

00:41:36.680 It happens all the time.

00:41:37.700 Every time I go to AutoZone, it happens.

00:41:39.360 You have computers with access to rockauto.com at home and in your pocket.

00:41:42.600 Rockauto.com is a family business serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.

00:41:57.760 Best of all, prices at rockauto.com are reliably low and they're the same for everybody.

00:42:02.880 Why spend up to twice as much for the same parts?

00:42:14.520 Write Walsh in their How Did You Hear About Us box so they know that I sent you.

00:42:17.380 So, let's get to our comment section.

00:42:20.860 Do you know their name?

00:42:24.200 They're the sweet baby gang.

00:42:29.680 Jerry says, only Matt would title his episode, Is Sanity Making a Comeback?

00:42:34.320 And then in the episode, his answer is no.

00:42:38.000 Well, I'm always honest though.

00:42:40.980 Give me that.

00:42:42.120 JB says, Matt, I have a serious question for you as a supporter.

00:42:44.780 Why are humans special?

00:42:47.600 Please answer without any reference to God and without self-referencing humans and the

00:42:51.720 fact that you are one.

00:42:53.340 Why are we objectively special?

00:42:56.880 Okay, well, I don't know if I agree with the parameters you put in place here.

00:43:03.120 I mean, the fact that I'm a human is indeed one of the reasons why I prefer humans because

00:43:09.000 I do prefer my own species.

00:43:10.880 Is that irrational?

00:43:11.880 I mean, I value and prefer and protect my own family over other people's families.

00:43:19.300 Is that, what about that?

00:43:21.320 So, I would call this kind of sort of species chauvinism completely natural and good and 0.97

00:43:28.840 necessary even.

00:43:31.000 And that's even without any objective reason to justify it, but I do have objective reasons.

00:43:36.020 What makes humans special over other species in the known universe?

00:43:39.520 Well, we build civilizations.

00:43:42.880 We also destroy them, but we do build them.

00:43:45.520 We have language.

00:43:46.780 We have art and science and music.

00:43:50.260 We tell stories, right?

00:43:53.260 We're rational creatures, some more than others, but we are by our nature rational.

00:43:58.800 We are aware of ourselves and the universe, and we can contemplate what all of this means.

00:44:05.160 So, what makes us special?

00:44:07.920 I mean, literally everything about us is special and distinct from all the animal species would

00:44:16.960 be my answer.

00:44:18.800 Let's see.

00:44:19.400 Taylor says, your wife tweeted that your oldest son had an accident and got stitches.

00:44:23.020 Was she really talking about you, Matt?

00:44:24.660 Be honest.

00:44:25.380 No, not in this case.

00:44:26.680 My son did get stitches.

00:44:27.680 It was a real coming-of-age moment, kind of a rite of passage, and I was kind of proud

00:44:33.400 of him for needing stitches.

00:44:35.480 I think that's an important part of boyhood.

00:44:37.100 At some point, you need to get the stitches.

00:44:38.900 Though now he's getting a little bit competitive about his injury.

00:44:42.140 And yesterday, he tried to tell me that his injury probably hurt more than when I tore

00:44:46.520 my Achilles.

00:44:47.020 So, he's constantly going around bragging now about how bad the injury was and how much

00:44:51.280 it hurts compared to other people's injuries.

00:44:53.740 And I said, no, first of all, mine was worse.

00:44:56.540 And I didn't even cry when I got injured, unlike you.

00:45:00.780 I respond that way to my son because he's nine and I'm seven, apparently.

00:45:06.680 Funk Soul Bubby says, I'm not into my birthday either, but one year I told my mother that it

00:45:12.020 didn't mean anything to me.

00:45:12.880 And she responded, it does to me.

00:45:15.400 So, that put it into perspective.

00:45:17.440 That's actually a good point.

00:45:18.160 That is a good perspective.

00:45:20.740 But I think, I'm glad your mom said that because this, I think I agree that actually

00:45:26.500 the parents are the ones who should get gifts on a kid's birthday.

00:45:30.900 My kids should be giving gifts to me on their birthday.

00:45:34.240 Because, because I'll tell you why.

00:45:35.820 The fact that you survived another year, even if just barely, is my achievement.

00:45:41.960 It's not yours. 0.78

00:45:43.240 If I left it up to you, you would have been dead 50 times over.

00:45:46.560 So, I said yesterday that it's not an achievement to live another year.

00:45:50.800 But when you have little kids, it's an achievement on the part of the parents.

00:45:55.580 So, I kind of like that.

00:45:57.880 I don't need to celebrate my own birthday, but I should get to celebrate my kids' birthdays.

00:46:03.080 And I'm the one who's celebrated on those birthdays.

00:46:05.180 I like that.

00:46:05.620 Okay.

00:46:05.720 And Prince Vegeta says, hi, Matt.

00:46:09.540 So, I noticed you now have 1.1 million subscribers.

00:46:12.500 Congrats, by the way.

00:46:14.140 How soon should we expect the interpretive dance?

00:46:18.760 Be patient, my sweet baby.

00:46:20.480 Be patient.

00:46:22.380 All will be revealed in time.

00:46:25.540 And that's a tease right there.

00:46:27.100 That's what that's called in the business.

00:46:28.060 Over the weekend, swimming's world-governing body voted to ban biological males from competing in women's swimming competitions.

00:46:34.620 We talked about it yesterday.

00:46:36.460 Is Sanity finally making a comeback?

00:46:39.140 Well, I already told you the answer's no.

00:46:40.760 But here's the good thing.

00:46:41.580 At least biological reality seems worthy of discussion again, thanks in no small part to my groundbreaking documentary, What Is A Woman?

00:46:47.920 It's the most talked-about documentary in America and has now surpassed over 5,000 ratings on Rotten Tomatoes with an audience score of 98.

00:46:55.600 What Is A Woman? is also soon to be the best-selling book that you can pick up now on Amazon or wherever books are sold.

00:47:38.660 That's dailywire.com slash subscribe right now.

00:47:42.080 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:47:43.300 You know, the biggest challenge with today's daily cancellation will be convincing you that I'm not making any of this up.

00:47:54.080 But it shouldn't take much convincing because you ought to know by now that it's impossible to invent a form of leftist insanity that leftists themselves have not already come up with.

00:48:03.180 And even if I did dream up some new brand of lunacy on my own, we could still be sure that some leftist somewhere has already thought of it or will soon think of it.

00:48:11.120 And when they do think of it, they will take this thing that I said as a joke and turn it into their mission and their identity in life.

00:48:18.340 With all that in mind, we head over to UC Irvine and their Women's Center for Success. 0.52

00:48:24.680 As their page on UC Irvine's website explains, the Women's Center for Success, quote,

00:48:29.400 One important thing to note here is that women's is spelled W-O-M-X-N.

00:48:50.080 Now, as you know, the way to make things inclusive, it's been decided, is to stick a random X into the middle of them.

00:48:56.380 X marks the woke, as pirates used to say.

00:48:59.660 Obviously, you know, if you want to make a word inclusive, the best way to do that is to arbitrarily change it so as to make it unpronounceable.

00:49:06.960 That's how you make it inclusive.

00:49:08.900 But is there another more coherent reason to spell women with an X?

00:49:13.540 Well, as Aaron Sabariam, a reporter at the Washington Free Beacon, pointed out on Twitter,

00:49:17.640 UC Irvine has a whole page dedicated to explaining the value of the letter X and also grappling with the challenges that it presents.

00:49:24.400 Their page with the heading, Why Women with an X, explains the following, quote,

00:49:29.400 Now, please note that folks is spelled F-O-L-X-S.

00:49:47.260 So that it'd be properly pronounced, I guess, folkses.

00:49:52.220 We have to pronounce words like Gollum now in the name of inclusion.

00:49:55.840 So it continues.

00:49:56.460 Women with an X acknowledges that gender identity exists in a sphere and one word has room for multiple gender expressions without weighing one more important than the other.

00:50:06.680 In addition, it highlights that more than one gender expression can be impacted by patriarchy, misogyny, and sexism.

00:50:12.600 This term recognizes that in the past, the history of feminism has included racism, transphobia, and harmful gender binary views. 0.81

00:50:19.000 All of this is accomplished somehow with the letter X.

00:50:23.420 But is it as simple as that?

00:50:25.800 Can we just plop that X into the middle of a word and then go about our day with peace of mind, confident that everyone has been included?

00:50:33.200 Well, not so fast, because this actually real page on a real website for a real college university in the United States of America in 2022 continues on for many more paragraphs discussing the importance and implication of the word X when it's placed, the letter X, rather, when it's placed randomly into words for no discernible reason.

00:50:52.200 And then it gets to the caveats and the exceptions of the potential problems, which are numerous.

00:50:57.680 It's important to note that not every single person prefers to use the X.

00:51:05.300 Identity is personal and is influenced by lived experiences.

00:51:09.020 What matters most is that we take into consideration each person's own preferences and respect the ways in which they choose to identify.

00:51:16.540 They could be using the spelling with the X or not, and both preferences are valid.

00:51:21.860 Okay, so you see that you can't just spell women with an X.

00:51:25.400 You must first conduct a survey of every single person who might potentially read the word that you're about to write and find out if they prefer it based on their lived experiences to have the X or not have the X.

00:51:38.260 But what happens if some preferred and some don't prefer it?

00:51:41.760 And what if some have other preferences?

00:51:44.120 Maybe there's a person whose lived experience has led them to prefer that women is spelled with a Z in place of the X.

00:51:50.380 Maybe somebody's lived experience demands that every letter in the word women is replaced with a series of random symbols and numbers.

00:51:58.820 I, for one, am traumatized if women is not spelled WQ33ZL?5! 0.97

00:52:05.100 If I see it spelled any other way, I'll vomit and cry and immediately stab the nearest person in the throat. 0.96

00:52:12.960 I can't be blamed for this. 0.98

00:52:15.120 My lived experience is what it is.

00:52:17.940 So does this mean that you simply cannot spell the word or indeed any word at all?

00:52:23.780 As soon as the word exists in one form, spelled one way, then it no longer potentially exists in any other form, spelled any other way, which makes it by its nature non-inclusive.

00:52:35.300 The only truly inclusive word is that which is not written at all.

00:52:38.600 Once it's written, it has taken on a certain form, and if it's in that form, then it can't be in any other form.

00:52:44.400 So best then to avoid writing any words.

00:52:46.480 But will that be enough?

00:52:49.780 No, it turns out.

00:52:51.340 Because even if words are not written, they're still spoken, and that too can be non-inclusive.

00:52:58.320 So going back to this, I must remind you, totally real page on a totally real college's real website, we are told this.

00:53:06.320 Quote,

00:53:07.680 By being still new to the mainstream, there is not one particular pronunciation of this word.

00:53:13.420 Most pronounce it like they are saying women or woman.

00:53:16.480 But spell the singular and plural with the X.

00:53:19.480 However, this raises the question if that actually is truly inclusive.

00:53:25.000 Members of the blind community may be left out if there is no audible way for them to hear this distinction.

00:53:31.140 Others prefer to say it as womenx, or womanx, or wumux.

00:53:37.720 These ways can bring attention to womenxen when talking verbally to someone about and opens up more dialogue about linguistics. 0.67

00:53:46.480 Now, you might think that the one advantage to being blind is that you're spared this kind of thing.

00:53:55.960 But the uber-woke will not let the visually impaired off the hook so easily. 0.81

00:54:00.180 They too must be wrapped up in this.

00:54:02.820 They must be given the experience of hearing women pronounced womanx.

00:54:07.140 It wouldn't be fair if they were deprived of the opportunity to hear a human being speaking like your GPS when it's trying to pronounce a city with a multi-syllabic name.

00:54:17.240 But this raises questions.

00:54:18.880 Also, what about deaf people?

00:54:22.260 Yes, they can see the name, but they're not able to hear it being pronounced.

00:54:27.060 And what about people who are both blind and deaf?

00:54:30.480 After all the work that Helen Keller did, how can we exclude members of her community?

00:54:35.640 What about those who are in a coma?

00:54:37.760 What about members of the coma community?

00:54:40.140 The fact is that you can't write this word or any word without excluding people.

00:54:44.280 And you can't speak the word or any word without excluding people.

00:54:48.340 In truth, you cannot do, say, or think anything without engaging in ruthless exclusion.

00:54:55.520 Just consider this.

00:54:57.720 Every time you do say or think anything at all, you are excluding in that moment all of the things you are not doing, saying, or thinking.

00:55:06.140 And thus, all of the people who would prefer it if you were doing, saying, or thinking all of the things that you are not.

00:55:11.800 Does that make sense?

00:55:12.380 To simply exist and go about your day and interact with the world and communicate in any form,

00:55:20.020 and certainly to develop your own unique view of the world and opinion about things, is to exclude.

00:55:25.200 Worse, it is to discriminate.

00:55:27.400 It is to choose in every moment one path instead of any other.

00:55:32.540 Exclusion and discrimination are elemental, inherent aspects of life on planet Earth.

00:55:39.020 So then what should we do?

00:55:41.120 Well, I think we have two options.

00:55:42.380 Either we can stop obsessively trying to include everybody all the time in everything and just go about our lives as normal human beings, as human beings always have.

00:55:53.700 Or, in the name of inclusion, we can all launch ourselves collectively into space.

00:56:00.600 Not in a rocket ship, but individually.

00:56:03.120 Into space itself.

00:56:04.620 Where there is no sound, no light, no gravity, no oxygen.

00:56:09.620 Nothing at all but the formless, shapeless, endless abyss.

00:56:13.160 Into which we can all tumble eternally until we are consumed by it, and our bodies are ripped apart by the vacuum, and we are all reduced to nothingness.

00:56:23.120 Only then, when we are all nothing, and nothing is everything, and everything is nothing, only then will everyone truly be included.

00:56:34.200 So that's option B.

00:56:37.680 And I think something we should seriously consider, for a number of reasons.

00:56:40.880 But until then, UC Irvine is today, we must say, canceled.

00:56:45.520 And we'll leave it there for today.

00:56:46.740 Thanks for watching.

00:56:47.260 Thanks for listening.
