The Matt Walsh Show - Matt Walsh Reacts To Am I The A-hole TikToks

00:00:00.000 Give me a playback of TS-19.

00:00:01.960 Playback of TS-19.

00:00:04.000 What is that?

00:00:05.380 It invades the brain like meningitis.

00:00:08.200 The brain goes into shutdown, then the major organs.

00:00:11.740 But they're not alive.

00:00:15.280 You tell me.

00:00:16.620 Most of that brain is dark.

00:00:18.620 Dark, lifeless, dead.

00:00:21.080 Okay, so this is interesting.

00:00:22.400 Today we have a little bit of a hybrid combination.

00:00:25.920 You know, we have our MIA the A-hole day 1.00

00:00:27.740 and we have the TikTok reaction day,

00:00:29.680 but today I guess we have MIA the A-hole TikToks. 1.00

00:00:33.800 Two worlds collide.

00:00:35.260 So let's go, let's just start at the top.

00:00:38.920 Ah!

00:00:39.660 Once again, I have hot money gossip

00:00:41.440 and I need to know what you guys would do in this situation

00:00:44.040 and who you think is the a**hole. 0.97

00:00:46.120 So the 17-year-old guy lost his father two years ago

00:00:49.340 and his dad left him an inheritance.

00:00:51.500 Not never work again money, but a meaningful amount.

00:00:54.120 And recently this guy had money.

00:00:56.540 The morning rain clouds up.

00:00:58.280 All right, can we stop it?

00:00:59.680 I don't care about this.

00:01:00.540 Solve your own problems.

00:01:01.560 Damn!

00:01:03.800 Am I the A-hole for kicking my brother-in-law out

00:01:05.900 after he referred to himself as the father of my child?

00:01:09.760 I'm a 30-year-old female

00:01:10.820 and my wife is a 29-year-old female. 1.00

00:01:13.100 We welcomed our son into the world a year ago

00:01:14.920 and both of our families are very accepting of us,

00:01:16.980 but my wife's family has this weird obsession 0.73

00:01:18.980 with passing on the family.

00:01:20.240 Okay, can we stop?

00:01:20.920 Pause for a second.

00:01:21.580 Wait for it.

00:01:26.460 I just needed to explain why we do this makeup thing every single time.

00:01:29.700 Why do we need to see you putting on your damn makeup? 1.00

00:01:32.360 I don't get it.

00:01:34.180 You want to tell us your story,

00:01:35.720 just look in the camera and tell the story.

00:01:37.940 My father was a drinker.

00:01:41.160 So this made adopting out of the question very early on.

00:01:43.800 My wife and I always wanted to start a family,

00:01:45.500 but things got difficult when my wife found out that she was infertile. 0.83

00:01:48.380 Okay, pause it for a second.

00:01:49.460 Your wife and you and your wife wanted to start a family. 0.60

00:01:52.080 Well, you can't.

00:01:56.940 He is the one.

00:01:57.860 You and your wife actually cannot start a family.

00:02:00.880 It's not physically possible to do.

00:02:02.600 I don't think you have the facilities for that, big man.

00:02:05.020 There's no such thing as a family that comes from two women. 0.99

00:02:13.160 Maybe that should tell us something.

00:02:15.300 And don't give me the...

00:02:15.960 Well, they're infertile couples of men and women. 0.97

00:02:19.120 The fact that, in principle, two women can never, ever start a family, 1.00

00:02:22.900 it's impossible for two women to create babies, 1.00

00:02:25.420 that might be some kind of hint.

00:02:27.860 That might be some kind of hint.

00:02:29.000 Hey, can't you take a hint?

00:02:30.540 In fact, every child has a mother and a father.

00:02:33.500 That's the way that nature has set it up.

00:02:36.420 And so maybe that's the way it should simply be.

00:02:39.560 So we have technology these days,

00:02:41.540 and we could try our best to get around this,

00:02:44.240 but we can't actually get around it.

00:02:46.260 Because when it comes down to it,

00:02:47.960 still, whatever we find out about what arrangement they came up with,

00:02:51.320 still, their child is not really going to be their child.

00:02:53.740 It's going to be the child of one of them and some other man.

00:02:56.780 There is another.

00:02:57.860 Because every child has a mother and father, and is meant to.

00:03:00.420 Well, the weather is finally perfect,

00:03:02.380 and that means barbecue season is here.

00:03:04.480 I don't want to brag.

00:03:05.260 I do make a mean burger.

00:03:06.360 All the stuff on the grill.

00:03:07.240 I'm a master.

00:03:08.100 The last thing I'm going to be doing

00:03:09.340 when I'm getting ready to cook dinner for my six kids

00:03:11.440 is driving around,

00:03:12.360 worrying about where to refill my propane grill tank.

00:03:15.080 And that's why I'm a huge fan of Cinch.

00:04:06.940 My biological mom died in childbirth,

00:04:08.640 which has led me to believe

00:04:09.620 that I wouldn't hold a pregnancy very well.

00:04:11.840 After a few months of brainstorming,

00:04:13.260 my mother-in-law suggested that we do IVF. 1.00

00:04:15.760 Using my eggs, my brother-in-law's sperm,

00:04:17.600 and let my wife carry the baby. 1.00

00:04:19.720 Even though I was skeptical,

00:04:20.800 I gave in because the plant hit all the marks.

00:04:23.000 Her family got to pass on the genes 0.89

00:04:24.560 and my wife and I got to start a family.

00:04:26.840 Could pause it.

00:04:28.900 So we're just gonna pass over that.

00:04:31.240 Maybe this is why they do the makeup thing,

00:04:33.060 to make everything seem casual.

00:04:34.620 So we're gonna pass over the incest part of this.

00:04:38.640 Okay, so your brother,

00:04:43.140 you're having a baby with your brother-in-law

00:04:46.600 and his sister is carrying his baby.

00:04:51.660 Right, did I have that right?

00:04:52.900 Yep, you got it.

00:04:53.980 So, and we're just moving right past.

00:04:55.780 We're moving right past the incest.

00:04:57.320 Oh, you know, we're in this incest-rich thing with,

00:05:00.060 you know, but anyway,

00:05:01.840 and the only thing that she's concerned about,

00:05:03.560 well, I can already tell you,

00:05:05.140 she's upset that the brother-in-law says

00:05:07.900 that he's the father.

00:05:08.900 Well, he is.

00:05:10.060 You are the father.

00:05:13.420 Okay, continue.

00:05:14.780 We went through extensive counseling and therapy

00:05:16.360 to make sure everyone was on the same page

00:05:17.900 and could handle it.

00:05:18.680 And everything went great.

00:05:19.560 My wife loved being pregnant. 1.00

00:05:21.020 Okay, pause it for a second.

00:05:24.460 Extensive counseling for all of you people?

00:05:26.640 Well, what about the counseling

00:05:27.340 that your child's going to?

00:05:28.520 I'm not worried about counseling for you.

00:05:29.880 You guys are hopeless, okay?

00:05:31.260 I don't think there's enough counseling in the world

00:05:33.720 that can fix all this.

00:05:35.280 What I'm concerned about is the child.

00:05:38.440 So this child, his uncle will be his dad, right?

00:05:42.860 His uncle is his dad.

00:05:44.340 He's the one, the child's going to need the therapy,

00:05:46.400 not you people.

00:05:47.500 I mean, you people do need therapy,

00:05:48.920 but number one, it's too late for you probably,

00:05:50.940 and there probably aren't any therapists

00:05:53.040 in the country right now

00:05:54.220 who would be willing to tell you

00:05:55.440 the kinds of things that you need to be told.

00:05:57.220 And we were overjoyed to welcome

00:05:58.440 our new baby boy in the winter.

00:05:59.740 But a problem arose when we were preparing

00:06:02.040 for my son's first birthday

00:06:03.300 when my brother-in-law made a comment

00:06:04.580 about how he should get a say

00:06:06.100 in the planning as the child's father.

00:06:08.420 I was shocked, I cringed,

00:06:09.780 and I told him he wasn't.

00:06:11.520 And told him that he was just providing a piece of him,

00:06:13.420 and he looked me in the eye and said,

00:06:15.120 yeah, so he's our child.

00:06:16.980 My wife's jaw dropped, 1.00

00:06:18.240 and my mother-in-law wasn't making eye contact.

00:06:20.520 I kicked him out of the house

00:06:21.400 and told him that he couldn't come back

00:06:22.580 until he apologized.

00:06:24.060 But he got angry, which made my wife start to cry. 0.98

00:06:26.780 She has always struggled with self-esteem,

00:06:28.320 and this infertility really took a toll on her.

00:06:30.800 For months, I've had to reassure her

00:06:32.180 and tell her what an amazing mom she is.

00:06:34.260 My sister-in-law later that day called me the B-word,

00:06:37.020 and I argued that my brother-in-law

00:06:38.280 had no right saying any of that.

00:06:40.160 All right.

00:06:40.320 But she kept yelling, so my wife and I...

00:06:42.080 I can't.

00:06:42.100 We can't even do it anymore.

00:06:44.500 I think that's enough, Emma.

00:06:45.560 They hold for today.

00:06:46.500 Anyway, this is what...

00:06:48.000 So this is the thing that shocked everyone.

00:06:49.780 This is what shocked and scandalized everyone.

00:06:52.460 When the brother-in-law...

00:06:54.000 And even, like, brother-in-law,

00:06:55.060 I use it...

00:06:55.720 We should put air quotes around that.

00:06:57.400 He makes an observation that is actually correct, 0.99

00:07:00.940 that he is the father,

00:07:01.860 and that's what's jaw-dropping and scandalous to them.

00:07:05.440 Not this bizarre, incestuous arrangement

00:07:08.060 that they've come up with.

00:07:09.420 And that they've come up with,

00:07:11.140 not because it's in the best interest of the child.

00:07:13.180 That's the point.

00:07:14.080 This is not about the child.

00:07:15.380 Okay, if you were worried about the child,

00:07:17.300 you would not be doing any of this.

00:07:19.180 Is it in the best interest of a child

00:07:20.720 for his uncle to be his dad?

00:07:22.540 This is unacceptable.

00:07:24.620 When we start cutting nature out of the...

00:07:27.060 As much as we can, and we can't really,

00:07:28.780 but we try to start getting around nature

00:07:30.800 when it comes to childbirth.

00:07:32.440 And then we're doing surrogacy and everything else.

00:07:36.140 It's not about the child anymore.

00:07:38.020 The child is now an accessory.

00:07:39.760 The child is like a means to an end.

00:07:41.600 It's what you want.

00:07:42.880 It's gonna make you feel good.

00:07:44.400 Maybe for these two, it makes them feel...

00:07:46.680 It makes the whole, quote-unquote,

00:07:49.020 marriage feel more real or something.

00:07:51.040 And so they want to have a baby,

00:07:52.100 even though they can't.

00:07:53.120 And it's all about them.

00:07:54.300 It's not about the child.

00:07:55.480 So, oh, who's the a-hole in that? 1.00

00:07:56.780 Well, like, everybody remotely close to this situation.

00:08:00.760 All of them.

00:08:02.140 A-hole is the best thing I could say about them. 1.00

00:08:04.500 And really the only thing I can say about them.

00:08:07.040 Yeah, we're not gonna do that.

00:08:08.060 See you tomorrow.

00:08:08.580 You shot me, you a-hole!

00:08:10.860 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:11.560 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:13.320 A-haha! 1.00

00:08:13.880 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:13.900 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:14.200 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:14.420 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:15.220 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:15.380 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:15.480 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:15.720 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:16.200 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:16.540 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:30.420 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:31.500 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:31.940 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:32.580 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:33.140 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:34.360 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:35.180 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:35.540 A-hole! 1.00

00:08:36.500 A-hole! 1.00
