Well, as you know, my producer McKenna loves nothing more than to compile videos of the most annoying people on the planet, videos that will make me seethe with rage.
00:00:09.480
Here we have, I'm informed, toxic women at the gym on TikTok. Let's start at the top.
00:00:18.160
Ladies, I have a pro tip for when you're in the gym and men are making you uncomfortable.
00:00:24.120
I was doing my squats, you know, popping that booty.
00:00:27.120
And directly behind me happens to be a man on the treadmill. I heard him say.
00:00:34.100
I just want to say, well, this is not a personality. This is a, this is not, that's not a, what is this?
00:00:39.020
No person talks like this. So this is someone with no personality who's, who's trying to do an imitation of what she believes a personality is.
00:00:49.580
And she, but she, she has constructed her personality from memes that she's seen.
00:00:55.560
So this is someone who has taken a bunch of memes and cobbled them together into her imitation of what a personality is.
00:01:08.120
Look, I can walk on the treadmill and get a show to his friend that was on the treadmill.
00:01:21.360
And for a solid minute, I just inched closer to his machine.
00:01:33.760
He literally slowed down the treadmill and left the gym.
00:01:46.700
I have no doubt that she has the power to make people leave rooms.
00:01:51.800
So if that's a power that she's taking pride in, then I have no doubt that, except that that didn't happen.
00:01:56.880
Okay, so that story is as real as her personality.
00:02:00.320
This is the TikTok thing where you record things that are happening, or better yet, something happens,
00:02:05.960
and then you record your reaction to it later because you didn't do anything in the moment.
00:02:10.700
Like, if you're the kind of person who handles things in the moment,
00:02:14.000
then you don't feel the need to brag about it on TikTok later.
00:02:17.080
That is what you do when you're too, you know, non-confrontational and too meek and mild and cowardly to actually do anything about it.
00:02:25.800
Now, if it did happen, yeah, that would be, you don't say, that's an inappropriate thing to say, if it actually happened.
00:02:33.820
But one thing you notice, when we see the video of it actually happening in every single case,
00:02:41.400
It's not nearly as bad as it's being portrayed.
00:02:44.220
So the really egregious acts of sexism are always the ones that somehow didn't get caught on camera,
00:02:49.620
and the ones we're told about later are the ones that are the most egregious, which is interesting.
00:02:54.060
President Trump recently issued a warning from his Mar-a-Lago home, quote,
00:02:58.140
Our currency is crashing and will soon no longer be the world standard, which will be our greatest defeat, frankly, in 200 years.
00:03:04.080
There are three reasons the central banks are dumping the U.S. dollar, inflation, deficit spending, and our insurmountable national debt.
00:03:10.040
The fact is there is one asset that has withstood famine, wars, political and economic upheaval,
00:03:15.000
dating all the way back to biblical times, and that is gold.
00:03:17.540
I've bought gold from Birch Gold in preparation for uncertain economic times, and you can trust them, too.
00:03:22.620
You can now own gold in a tax-sheltered retirement account with the help of Birch Gold.
00:03:26.560
That's right. Birch Gold will help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold.
00:03:31.380
The best part is you don't pay a penny out of pocket.
00:03:39.580
Birch Gold has an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau.
00:03:44.940
If you want to be one of them, you can text Walsh to 989898 to get your free info kit on gold.
00:04:00.240
To begin with, why are you recording yourself at the gym?
00:04:08.040
And assuming the context that's provided there is accurate, which is a big assumption,
00:04:11.960
because it says in the video that he had come over multiple times and she said,
00:04:18.320
Then, yeah, the guy was a little bit pushy, but he was also trying to help.
00:04:25.640
You're bench pressing free weights with no spotter and you are a woman.
00:04:30.940
Well, I mean, using a bench press at all as a woman is like,
00:04:33.240
that's not even an exercise you really need to do in the first place.
00:04:36.300
But especially free weights, doing without a spotter, that's dangerous.
00:04:42.780
Now, you could say, well, he wouldn't have done that if it was a guy.
00:04:46.360
But men are more protective of women, which is a good thing.
00:04:57.120
you're not going to like what the world looks like when men don't have that instinct anymore.
00:05:00.420
And in fact, we are rapidly becoming this sort of culture
00:05:04.780
Because when they act on that instinct, they're treated like this.
00:05:10.540
And so you have more and more men who are like, fine, whatever.
00:05:13.080
If the bar crushes your neck, it's your problem.
00:05:15.680
That's the world you're going to create and you're not going to like it so much.
00:05:18.980
P.S.A. to all the guys that go to the gym for the love of God is if a woman is at the gym
00:05:24.280
and she is getting her workout in, please do not come up to her mid-step to try to have a conversation.
00:05:30.320
Clearly, I just got back from the gym, but I actually ended up leaving early
00:05:32.520
because I felt so f***ing uncomfortable with how this s*** is going.
00:05:35.040
And I'm not one of those girls that like cries,
00:05:39.680
Like, I don't believe in bullying men at the gym either.
00:05:42.280
But it is really f***ing uncomfortable when I walk into the gym
00:05:51.860
so I don't want to f***ing hear from people who are like,
00:05:53.780
oh, well, the way that you're dressing is kind of asking for it.
00:05:59.340
It's 92 degrees outside and there's barely AC at the gym that I go to.
00:06:05.120
like, I already see this dude, like, f***ing eyeing me down.
00:06:07.580
And I'm not, like, again, I'm not saying what his intentions were.
00:06:15.660
Oh, you're uncomfortable when men are looking at the gym.
00:06:18.540
Well, then put some damn clothes on. It's not hard.
00:06:22.220
I don't want to hear, oh, it's in Houston. It's hot.
00:06:24.120
I live in Tennessee, okay? I live in Nashville.
00:06:27.540
And somehow I still manage to be fully clothed when I walk out of my house.
00:06:40.460
The burden of my own clothing is something that I can...
00:06:45.100
So you claim that you have to be naked when you're walking out of your house.
00:06:50.620
Do you notice that most people are wearing all of their clothing?
00:06:56.240
She says, oh, it doesn't mean I'm asking for it.
00:07:06.440
That is the only reason why you would walk out of your house dressed like that.
00:07:15.340
When you ask for people's attention, you cannot control all the time the manner of that attention
00:07:23.360
When you walk into a room in your underwear, you're going to be getting attention from a lot
00:07:28.300
And you might think, well, I'd love to get attention from him, him, and him, but not that
00:07:33.700
Doesn't work like that because they all have eyes.
00:07:36.240
And so now you're getting attention from all of them.
00:07:40.960
Everyone, wear your clothes when you go to the gym.
