00:00:00.000 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. 1.00
00:00:18.160 Ladies, I have a pro tip for when you're in the gym and men are making you uncomfortable. 1.00
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.
00:01:03.100 And this is what you end up with.
00:01:04.620 Crazy, crazy, crazy woman. 1.00
00:01:07.480 Uh, continue.
00:01:08.120 Look, I can walk on the treadmill and get a show to his friend that was on the treadmill.
00:01:14.100 You know what I did? You know what I did?
00:01:16.000 What?
00:01:16.580 I turned around.
00:01:18.000 I stared directly into his soul.
00:01:21.360 And for a solid minute, I just inched closer to his machine.
00:01:26.880 He was so scared.
00:01:33.760 He literally slowed down the treadmill and left the gym.
00:01:37.780 He was so uncomfortable.
00:01:39.580 I made him leave.
00:01:43.120 I feel empowered.
00:01:44.940 Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
00:01:46.700 I have no doubt that she has the power to make people leave rooms. 0.99
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.
00:02:24.480 So that didn't actually happen.
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,
00:02:39.660 actually the guy didn't do anything wrong.
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.
00:03:34.020 When currencies fail, gold is a safe haven.
00:03:36.060 How much more time does the dollar have?
00:03:37.880 You can protect your savings with gold.
00:03:39.580 Birch Gold has an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau.
00:03:42.380 They have thousands of happy customers.
00:03:43.780 I'm one of them.
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.
00:03:49.840 Again, text Walsh to 989898 today.
00:03:53.420 All right, let's move on to the next one.
00:04:00.240 To begin with, why are you recording yourself at the gym?
00:04:03.580 What are you doing with this video?
00:04:06.920 Why?
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,
00:04:15.920 I don't need help.
00:04:16.520 So we're assuming that all that is true.
00:04:18.320 Then, yeah, the guy was a little bit pushy, but he was also trying to help.
00:04:21.280 I was just trying to help.
00:04:22.420 You're trying to help yourself more like...
00:04:23.800 He's concerned, you know?
00:04:25.640 You're bench pressing free weights with no spotter and you are a woman. 1.00
00:04:29.780 What's that supposed to mean?
00:04:30.940 Well, I mean, using a bench press at all as a woman is like, 1.00
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.
00:04:39.780 So he's trying to help you out.
00:04:42.780 Now, you could say, well, he wouldn't have done that if it was a guy.
00:04:45.280 Probably not.
00:04:46.360 But men are more protective of women, which is a good thing. 1.00
00:04:53.600 Easy, miss. 0.96
00:04:54.540 I've got you.
00:04:55.380 And if you think that's a bad 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
00:05:03.060 where men don't have that instinct anymore.
00:05:04.780 Because when they act on that instinct, they're treated like this.
00:05:07.380 They're publicly shamed.
00:05:08.400 Shame!
00:05:09.380 Shame!
00:05:10.200 Shame!
00:05:10.540 And so you have more and more men who are like, fine, whatever.
00:05:12.720 You know what?
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.
00:05:18.220 Okay, next one.
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 1.00
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,
00:05:36.820 oh my God, this guy is looking at me.
00:05:38.040 Like, no, leave people f***ing alone.
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
00:05:44.760 and I don't have, like, anybody else with me.
00:05:48.080 And I dress like this when I go to the gym.
00:05:50.320 Like, I dress like every other gym girly,
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.
00:05:56.620 No, it's not Becky.
00:05:57.600 I live in Houston, Texas.
00:05:59.340 It's 92 degrees outside and there's barely AC at the gym that I go to.
00:06:02.860 Like, I walk in and the minute I walk in,
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.
00:06:10.120 He could have, like, all good intentions,
00:06:11.820 but it's f***ing uncomfortable, right? 0.61
00:06:13.460 Okay. All right.
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.
00:06:20.320 Jacob, put your clothes on.
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.
00:06:25.800 It's hot and humid here all the time.
00:06:27.540 And somehow I still manage to be fully clothed when I walk out of my house.
00:06:31.560 You can do this.
00:06:32.620 I'm telling you I can't. I'm so hot.
00:06:35.340 Look, you're fine, okay?
00:06:36.520 There's so much f***ing s*** on me, I can't.
00:06:38.420 That is a burden that I'm able to carry.
00:06:40.460 The burden of my own clothing is something that I can...
00:06:43.620 In fact, most people can.
00:06:45.100 So you claim that you have to be naked when you're walking out of your house.
00:06:49.320 Well, look around you.
00:06:50.620 Do you notice that most people are wearing all of their clothing?
00:06:53.460 So they're able to do it.
00:06:54.780 Just do it!
00:06:56.240 She says, oh, it doesn't mean I'm asking for it.
00:06:58.460 No, but you are, actually.
00:07:00.100 You are asking for the attention of men.
00:07:03.760 You are literally asking for it.
00:07:05.420 You are begging for it.
00:07:06.440 That is the only reason why you would walk out of your house dressed like that.
00:07:11.600 Like, you're not wearing a full shirt.
00:07:13.380 You're wearing your underwear.
00:07:14.560 And here's the thing.
00:07:15.340 When you ask for people's attention, you cannot control all the time the manner of that attention
00:07:20.680 or who precisely is giving you attention.
00:07:23.360 When you walk into a room in your underwear, you're going to be getting attention from a lot
00:07:27.580 of people.
00:07:28.300 And you might think, well, I'd love to get attention from him, him, and him, but not that
00:07:32.560 guy, that guy, that guy, and that guy.
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.
00:07:38.120 You don't want that?
00:07:38.820 Then put some clothes on.
00:07:39.920 Pretty simple.
00:07:40.960 Everyone, wear your clothes when you go to the gym.
00:07:44.300 We'll leave it at that.
