Because here's the thing, it's you can't have real freedom without privacy. They go hand in hand. So who gets privacy? Not the regular everyday person. The government hoards it in classified documents while they buy our personal data from brokers and track everything we do online. But here's what's interesting.

The LGBT movement is currently coming to terms with the reality that after years of browbeating everyone into tolerating and then applauding and then participating in disorder and dysfunction, people are simply too disgusted and annoyed to put up with it anymore. And the signs are all over the place. The city of Boise, far left stronghold in an otherwise very conservative state, just canceled its Pride Month kickoff due to insufficient attendance. This is the same city that proudly named the so called Pride flag as an official government flag just a few weeks ago when the mayor claimed that the the city is solidly behind the gay agenda. Turns out he might have overstated the case a little bit there. Meanwhile, major corporate sponsors like Meta, Anheuser Busch, Comcast have fled San Francisco's Pride Parade. And reportedly one quarter of corporate donors to New York City's Pride events, including virtually all the biggest donors, have either eliminated or greatly reduced their contributions this year. Something called Heritage of Pride, which organizes Pride events in New York, says they're losing hundreds of thousands of dollars this year. The future of the organization is now in jeopardy, and it's the same situation in Canada, if you can believe it. Google and Home Depot, along with Nissan, Adidas and Clorox, have pulled out of the Toronto Pride Parade, leaving organizers to speculate about whether the event will even be able to take place in the future. And they're also seeing similar problems in Florida Watch. LGBTQ organizations across the country are reporting substantial cuts in funding stemming from corporations pulling their support away from sponsoring Pride events. Organizers say it's a direct result from many corporations ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs in alignment with Trump administration policies. From last year to this year, you know it's like a total 180. Jameer Batiste is with Stonewall Pride Wilton Manners, which will celebrate its 25th year June 14. Batiste says the event has seen about a 20% decline in corporate support. We can't go back into the closet. Bruce Horwich with Miami Beach Pride, which just took place back in April, says it too saw a significant cut in funding from corporations and international visitors. Progress is made slowly. Unfortunately, right now it's not two steps back or three steps back. It's probably about 10 steps back. It's why organizers are calling on the community and its allies show up. Don't be deterred. Now, they'll blame the Trump administration for cutting funding. They'll demand that the community send them more money. But under no circumstances will they change their behavior. They won't stop twerking in front of children or engaging in sex acts in public, um, which is what happens at a lot of these Pride parades. Or glorifying the chemical castration of children, which they inaccurately call, you know, gender affirmation. They won't do any of that because they're fundamentally narcissistic. And that's what the whole movement's about, which is why they call it Pride in the first place. But millions of Americans are very aware of what the so called LGBT Pride movement actually stands for at this point. And that's why if you walk into your local department store, you'll probably see similar indications that the downfall of Pride is upon us. A woman named Caitlin Francis just uploaded these two photos showing a side by side comparison of a of a Southern California Target store. Now, the image on the Left is from June 1, 2024. The image on the right, it was taken yesterday of the same spot in the same store. And as you can see, they've replaced the LGBT colors and the shirt saying trans people will always exist with clothing that reasonable people would actually wear. They've got American flag shirts instead of the LGBT propaganda now. So it's almost as if Target, like every other major corporation, has realized that normal people vastly outnumber the far left activists that they've been pandering to. Indeed, with each passing year, Americans are increasingly aware of what the LGBT agenda actually is and what it entails. They're realizing that all of the promises of the so called, quote unquote gay rights movement that have been fraudulent all along, the facade is crumbling, and it's crumbling really quickly in a matter of days in some cases. And if that sounds overstated, consider the rapid and recent downfall of the leftist journalist named Glenn Greenwald, who's become fashionable in certain corners of the populist right in recent years. Now, in case you're not familiar with Greenwald, he broke the story that the NSA was engaged in wide ranging secret surveillance of American citizens, which without a doubt was very important reporting. It's made Greenwald's career, by all accounts. And then with his newfound credibility, Greenwald grew his audience as a political commentator more generally. And he also started speaking out with this newfound authority about things like gay and trans rights. And in this capacity, Greenwald publicly attacked me just A few weeks ago, specifically, Greenwald took issue with this statement that I made on Tucker Carlson's podcast. Let's watch it again. A child being in foster care is, is far from an ideal scenario. It's very, very sad. A child going to two gay parents, I think is worse. I think it's, I think it's easily worse, actually. Why? It's just more disordered. It's more confusing for the child. Again, neither, neither scenario is good. We don't like either thing. But I, I don't see going to, you know, gay parents as an improvement over the, the, what they had before. So do we know that it screws kids up or we just sort of intuitively know it? I think we intuitively know, but also there's been plenty of studies done about the mental health effects of kids that grow up in these, you know, single sex, same sex parent homes. There's been a lot of studies done about it. But, but honestly, I don't. You can look at the studies. People will fact check, and they're there. I just, I don't need studies for this. It's. It's the same thing with the trans topic. Now, that episode was posted on April 30th of this year. And one day later on May 1st, Greenwald responded to me by writing this quote. One has to be morally deranged or totally ignorant of the grim realities of kids lingering without parents and orphanages, shelters and foster care, only to be expelled at 18 with no support to believe that dark, that, that dark hell is better for kids than being adopted by gay couples. Close quote. Now, Greenwald went on to personally attack me several other times. For example, in response to another post on X, he wrote, quote, walsh's hatred for gay people vastly outweighs his self glorifying, professed love for the children. So to recap, he says that gay men should be allowed to adopt young boys. He says it's far better than the alternative, which is leaving the boys in orphanages or foster care until a heterosexual couple can adopt them, not leaving them there permanently. That's not what I advocated for. I advocated for making sure that every child gets to a loving, stable home with a mother and a father, which is a possibility. Foreclosed for children who are given to homes with gay parents. But Glenn says that when I argue my position, I'm not actually interested in protecting children. He says that I just despise gay people because he's apparently able to read my mind. And above all, he claims that I am morally deranged. Yes, for adhering to traditional, conservative and Christian principles about the family. I am deranged for having the exact same view on this topic that nearly every human on earth has had since the dawn of civilization. I am deranged, he says. Glenn Greenwald, who is gay himself and has adopted two young boys and then a third child more recently, is, in his mind, the one exhibiting moral clarity and decency. Now, in case you're one of the lucky ones who hasn't heard the news, recent events have called Glenn Greenwald's own moral character and suitability for fatherhood into question. To put things about as mildly as possible. In fact, they've made it clear that this guy has, again, to put it mildly, a lot of gall accusing anyone else of being morally deranged. And we know that now because. Well, in summary, footage was. Was just depicted, was just posted that depicts Glenn Greenwald, a 58 year old man with three adopted children, dressed in a maid outfit and performing debauched sex acts on an unknown adult male. And at one point, it looks like Greenwald licks up the guy's spit and sucks on his toes as part of some kind of humiliation fetish. And there's also what appears to be drug paraphernalia in the shot. And then Greenwald sends a few thousand dollars via PayPal while on camera suggesting that prostitution is involved. Now, I'm not going to play any of this footage or show images of it for obvious reasons. To be clear, this is not footage from Greenwald's well documented past life working in the porn industry in Brazil. It appears to be current. And people are saying also that Greenwald himself briefly reposted the video, although I didn't see that. In any event, after this footage was released, Greenwald did not state that it was fake or anything like that, beyond a vague claim that some of the leaks were, quote, distorted. Now, he didn't deny that there were drugs in the footage either. Instead, he stated that he had no embarrassment or regret about his behavior. He said the footage had been posted without his consent and said that his behavior didn't harm anyone. And on the drug point, someone on X directly asked Greenwald about the apparent meth pipe in the video. And Greenwald responded and did not at any point deny it or give any assurance that he is not using hard drugs. Instead, he said this quote, the point I've made from the start is that the moral and ethical code I believe in for my own life is one that I am satisfied and I am fulfilling the fruits of my personal professional life. And the values they represent speak for themselves. I'm quite proud of them. And I feel no obligation to confine myself to the various moral codes other others profess to believe in when it comes to private behavior. My personal and private life is something I'm proud of, but don't consider anyone else's business and is certainly not something that should be publicized without my consent. Above all else, it's not something I feel any need to try to justify to others. I am perfectly content if others disapprove of those choices even strongly, because they are fully aligned with my own moral code. So there you have it. He's asked about the meth pipe in his fetish video filmed by a male prostitute, and his response is that he's proud of the decisions that he makes in his personal life. And then Greenwald went on in a different comment, to attack Donald Trump. Specifically, Greenwald suggests that he's morally superior to Trump and invoked the various unproven allegations of sexual misconduct that have been made against the current president, which is one of the most flagrant and grotesque examples of deflection imaginable. But Glenn very clearly has no shame, so he went for it. Now, watching this sad and sordid display, some conservative commentators, including some who I really like and respect and consider friends and still do have defended Greenwald by saying that his private life is none of our business and that these acts were performed by, quote, consenting adults. And so essentially sort of adopting Greenwald's position that he hasn't harmed anyone and that everyone should just, you know, therefore drop the story entirely. Now, before we get into the, the main reason why that's not true, before we talk about the people, the three people in particular, who are very definitely harmed by this behavior, before we get into that, it needs to be said that Glenn Greenwald is the one who chose to engage in these depraved sex acts on camera. To all appearances, he did it voluntarily. He's looking right into the camera. And that's very significant because the moment you allow some random guy to film you while you're on your knees dressed in a maid outfit, I mean, you can't really cry about the fact that your privacy has been violated. You did it on camera. You did that to yourself. Here's an idea. Don't film something if you don't want other people to see it. Let's put that up on the big board as a life lesson that shouldn't need to be said out loud, especially not to a 58 year old man at A minimum. Greenwald is the fool who decided to let someone film all of this in the first place while he was busy licking up spit from the ground. So let's just dispense with the whole sob story about privacy and a smear campaign right away. And by the way, not only did he let someone film it, but he apparently let a prostitute film it. So this is not a morally upstanding and trustworthy person. This is not someone that any sane individual would trust with sensitive material like that. Second, an act can be consensual and yet still be depraved and disgusting. And in Glenn's own words, in a term that he has lobbed himself at other people like me, the act can be morally deranged at the same time. Okay, consent is just one of the things that makes a sex act or any other act involving another person moral. It's not the only thing. There have been several stories in the so called LGBT community about men consenting to their own mutilation, even murder. That doesn't make it. That doesn't make it ethical or moral. It doesn't mean that we should tolerate it or accept it. It certainly doesn't mean that we can't form moral judgments about the behavior and rational judgments about the character of the men engaged in those behaviors. Once again, this episode demonstrates why consent based morality is so flimsy and weak and ultimately useless. What makes an act moral cannot simply be that the people who committed the act did it on purpose. There has to be more to it than that. And everybody fundamentally knows that. Which is why if you saw the Greenwald video, or you saw images from it, or even just heard me describe it just now, it triggered your disgust reflex. It made you feel revulsion because you recognize that it is depraved. And no amount of consent will change that. But the most important issue here, and this gets back to what I said on Tucker's podcast and why Greenwald attacked me in the first place, is the fact that Greenwald adopted two young boys in Brazil back in 2017. As their legal guardian, he is responsible for their survival and their development and their moral formation at the single most crucial period in their lives. He's supposed to be their role model as well as their guardian. But as this evidence would demonstrate, he is neither. His behavior raises obvious questions about his capacity to raise kids. And those questions become even more urgent when you take a closer look at this particular family's history. So, for one thing, you look up Greenwald's biography on Wikipedia. It's heavily Sanitized, but it's still pretty revealing. And as the story goes, Greenwald met his future, quote, unquote husband, David Miranda in Brazil when Greenwald was 30, 37 years old and Miranda was just 19. So that's an 18 year age gap. And how did that happen exactly? Well, if you read the official narratives, you're told that Greenwald was on some kind of vacation, then he happened to bump into Miranda on the beach. They moved in together in just a few days. Specifically, New York Times reports that out of nowhere, Greenwald's 19 year old love interest, quote, accidentally knocked over Mr. Greenwald's drink with a ball. And then the magical romance commenced. Now, of course, there was no New York Times reporter on the beach in Brazil when this fairy tale supposedly took place. Presumably they're just, you know, they're just taking Greenwald's word for it. Whatever we do, we're not supposed to conclude that this chance encounter on the beach had anything to do with whatsoever in any universe, potentially, maybe with the fact that Miranda was, quote, the son of a prostitute who, quote, dropped out of school when he was five. And we're definitely not supposed to think that this little encounter was related in any way to Greenwald's short lived career in the gay pornography business from back before he made it big in journalism. Now, if you're a very credulous person, then it's possible that you might take all this at face value without asking any questions. But that's not really the relevant standard here. The standard is not, could Glenn Greenwald possibly be telling the truth about his life story? The standard is, should Glenn Greenwald be given custody of several small children? Given everything we know. Okay, that is the, that is the thing that matters here. It's the kids, okay? It's not, is Glenn Greenwald a good journalist? That's not the most important question. There are kids involved here. And he has the burden of proof, you know, because the consequences of a mistake are extremely severe. A mistake in, like who you give, who, who you, who you send the kids to. We're talking about the well being of children. And Greenwald has consistently failed to meet this burden of demonstrating that he should have custody of these children. The question is, can we say with confidence, given everything we know, that the Greenwald household is a safe place for two young adopted male children? Or let's look at it this way. If this video of Greenwald in a maid outfit licking the feet of an apparent male prostitute with apparently drugs involved, hard drugs, had been posted before he adopted These boys. Does anyone, even people who think gay adoption should be legal, does anyone actually think that the adoption agency would have or should have allowed him to take custody of those kids? I mean, the apparent drug use alone would be enough to rule it out. Or bringing this back to my original point, does anyone doubt at this point that his adopted children would have been much better off if they'd remained at an orphanage until a healthy couple composed of a man and a woman had adopted them? Can anyone really deny that, given everything we've just seen from Greenwald's own personal situation, that. That, you know, that's the case? Now, to be clear, the point here is not to attack Glenn Greenwald personally. He's the one who launched multiple personal attacks against me before I ever said a word about him. The point is to emphasize that what I told tucker back on April 30th is true. There's a very good reason that male couples should not be able to adopt children. Greenwald has demonstrated it. It's not by random chance that within a month of Glenn Greenwald accusing me of being a horrible person for saying gay men shouldn't raise children, that he's been outed as a guy who films apparently drug fueled gay fetish porn with male prostitutes. I mean, you know, gay men are overwhelmingly, first of all, more promiscuous than heterosexuals in stable, committed relationships. That's not some kind of accusation invented by bigots. It's just what. It's what all the data says, all of it. And it's what any rational person can observe. Hollywood and the corporate press has spent something like 30 years trying to sell the idea that gay couples are, you know, just like straight couples, and they want nothing more than to raise children and a wholesome, stable environment, even children that aren't theirs. They claim that, you know, even in the worst case scenario, it's better for a child to be adopted by two gay men than to stay another day in foster care. That's what we've been told again and again and again. What they didn't tell us is that the true worst case scenario is far more troubling and far more common than most people can possibly imagine. But the secret's out. At this point, Pride parades are collapsing because the vast majority of Americans have come around to realizing that, you know, realizing what exactly the LGBT movement is really pushing for. And now, just in time for Pride Month, Glenn Greenwald has made it abundantly clear with videotaped evidence why children should only be adopted by stable 2 parent households with both a mom and a dad. Here's the key point. Here's the key point of all points, okay? That's what the children have a right to. Every child has a right to a mom and a dad. It's what nature intends. It's how God designed it. And it's what every child is entitled to, okay? And we should be a lot more concerned with the rights of these children than with the desires of men like Glenn Greenwald. Now, yes, if you say that out loud, they'll call you morally deranged. They'll say your views are backwards and outdated. But it doesn't matter what they think. What matters is the well being and safety of children who cannot defend or speak for themselves. Children belong with a mother and a father. And as the esteemed journalist Glenn Greenwald himself has just demonstrated the with video evidence, the consequences of denying this truth are dire. Now let's get to our five headlines.

Sources of the Department of Homeland Security say that the suspect in the Attack. Muhammad Sabri Salomon, 45, is an Egyptian national who entered the United States during the Biden administration and overstayed his visa. Solomon is believed to have entered the country in August 2022 on a visa that expired in February of the following year. The Egyptian national filed an unknown claim. Dhs, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. Several people were injured Sunday afternoon at a Boulder, Colorado rally in support of the Israelis taken hostage by Hamas terrorists after a man set people on fire while yelling Free Palestine and End Zionist. Police arrived at the scene and found the victims had injuries consistent with burns and other injuries. FBI said that six people were taken to the hospital with injuries and that a witness of the suspect in the attack used a makeshift flamethrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd. And the. And the. And this is being. Tulsa Gabbard and Dan Bongino have spoken about this and made it clear that this is being investigated as an act of terrorism, which it, I mean, very clearly was. So this is more violence committed by someone who shouldn't be in this country. And we'll continue to be told that somehow right wingers present the greatest terrorism threat that this country faces. And yet all of the terrorism in this country is being carried out by leftists, illegal immigrants and or these Free Palestine militants. And obviously there's a lot of overlap, as there was like all three categories overlapping in this case. But it's not white American conservatives. I mean, they're not the ones throwing Molotov cocktails or attacking Tesla dealerships or storming the stage during a concert like they did in Seattle we talked about last week, or trying to kill the president or killing Israeli embassy workers in dc. That last one was carried out a couple of weeks ago by a guy named Elias Rodriguez who is a communist and a BLM activist. So it's pretty clear where the threat is coming from. And it's way past time for everyone to be honest about the threat. You know, we talked about this last week when, when Antifa attacked that Christian concert in Seattle and a much less severe situation because they didn't throw any Molotov cocktails, thankfully. But the point we made then can be applied to this attack in Boulder or any of the others that I mentioned, which is that when it comes to leftists and their allies, they are a unique terror threat. They are a unique danger because they believe that people who disagree with them have no right to exist. And I don't. That's not hyperbole. It's actually true. It's what they believe. And they're pretty open about it. I mean, most of these people, if you ask them, these are the same people who cheered on Luigi Mangione, you know, it's another example, essentially a terrorist act. And if you ask them about that, I mean, they're pretty open about it. Why, why did they cheer on Luigi Mangioni? Well, because his victim had no right to live. Why didn't he have any right to live? Well, because they, you know, they, they cast him as the villain and, and you know, whether he was a villainous person or not, in, in, in this great stage play that they're putting on, if you, if they cast you as a villain, it means that, you know, it's like being the villain in any horror movie. It means that it's, it's a, it is a. It gives a moral license for them to kill you. It means that you have no right to exist. And again, they're very clear about this and they, they believe that if you disagree with them about anything about LGBT issues, about the climate, about race, about Israel and Palestine, if you disagree with them, then not only do you have no right to exist, but also you're probably guilty of genocide. They live in a world where there are genocides happening everywhere, including in this country, and which. There is a genocide happening in this country, by the way, but that's the one that they support, which is the genocide of the unborn. They're fine with that. But they find all these other genocides constantly happening that are totally imaginary. And anyone who opposes them on any issue is a co conspirator in the plot. So killing them is self defense. There's a genocide of trans people happening, completely imaginary, totally made up. But anyone who says something trans people don't like is a genocidal maniac and deserves to die. And there are a few labels that they can use that provide them in their minds the moral justification to commit violence. Genocide is one, you know, any. That's what they're doing anytime they say, oh, you, you committed. I've been accused of committing, of being involved in genocides. You know, anytime I say something again that trans people don't like, LGBT people don't like, somehow I'm involved in a genocide, you know, but all that, that really means the reason why it's just them saying, it's basically them putting a bounty on you. That's what it is. This is like the old west putting up the wanted poster. Dead or alive, but preferably dead. That's all it is. It's them sending the signal that, okay, this person has no right to live. So when they use the word genocide, that's what they're doing. When they use any racist homophobe, any colonizer is another one. If they call you a colonizer, then they have the moral right to kill you. That's why I've been making this point for a long time. Back during the campus protests that were happening a couple years ago or last year, I guess the decolonization movement is inherently violent. It's all a pretense to commit violence. That is basically all that left wing political activism is really. I mean, all left wing political activism is either violence in and of itself or it's building a case for violence. It's either violent or it's about establishing a pretense for violence. All of it, like 100% of the time. And we see that here again. Well, speaking of genocidal maniacs, I wanted to mention this. Cory Booker gave a speech on Saturday in California and it ended with a truly shocking gesture. And I'm still pretty rattled by this. But let's put it up on the screen so you can see it. This gesture that Cory Booker did, do we have it? Okay, let's. Yeah, go ahead. There it is. I'll play that again because a lot of people. It's very, it's quick. It's quick, but it's very disturbing. Yep. Yeah. And that, that's been playing in a, in a loop in my mind. It's so horrifying because as you can see, he did the Nazi salute. He did. He did the exact same gesture that Elon Musk did. Right? The exact same one. Hand to heart, hand over heart, then straight out. That's the gesture that he did. And if you recall, when Elon did that, everyone in the media and Democrat Party accused him of doing a Nazi salute. So that's what Booker must be doing. And I'm stunned. I had no idea that Cory Booker was a Nazi. I mean, I knew that he was a dim witted clown. I knew that he was an attention starved, overgrown child. I knew that he was completely useless and incompetent, but I didn't know that he was a Nazi. I honestly didn't. And here's what Corey's camp is saying. And you know, obviously given that he's a. Well, given that he's a Nazi, you can't, you can't trust anything that, that he says. But NEWSWEEK reports a spokesperson for Cory Booker told Newsweek on Sunday that the New Jersey senator was simply waving to the crowd after MAGA supporters claim Booker had made a Nazi salute. Cory Booker was obviously just waving to the crowd. Anyone who claims his wave is the same as the Elon Musk's gesture is operating in bad faith. Maya Krishna Rogers, spokesperson for Booker, told Newsweek. The differences between the two are obvious to anyone without an agenda. Sorry, Maya, that's not going to fly. Because this is how it works. Now remember, the intentions behind a word or gesture are not determined by the person who says the word or makes the gesture. They're determined by whoever is most offended by the word or gesture. That's the way. Those are your rules. That's the rules that you guys have set up that you don't get to speak to your own intentions, your own motivations, your own meaning. You don't get to speak to that. Whoever is offended by whatever you said, it's their meaning, it's their interpretation that matters most. And I have to say I'm deeply offended. And I. And I. And I would wager that everyone in my audience is, too. I. I am among the people, the legions, who are profoundly disturbed and offended by that gesture. I'm scared, actually, to be honest with you. I'm terrified. Okay? And let me. Let me just tell you the truth. I could barely sleep last night. I was tossing and turning, and I just. I was. I had this image in my mind of Cory Booker doing the Nazi salute. I. I was terrified, okay? Trembling. So. So I have, then, the moral right to decide what Cory Booker meant by that, because I am so shaken by it, I'm literally shaking. Not right now, but I have been. I was able to pull myself together, do the show, just barely. So I have the moral right to decide this. Anyone else offended by it does. He doesn't have that right. Like we say it was a Nazi salute because we're offended by it. And that's how this works. So those are their rules. That's the rules they've set up. And that's just how it goes. Now, Cory Booker's a Nazi. It's a fact. Fact. Cory Booker is factually a Nazi. That's it. You can't. I mean, I'm not putting an alleged on it. Let me be clear about it. He's actually a Nazi. That's how I feel. I feel that he is, and I feel that that's what that gesture meant. And so he is. That's all. All right. We've talked about Tinder recently and how generally awful it is and how men in particular shouldn't use it. But really, nobody should use it. Here's more evidence to support that claim. TechCrunch reports Tinder is leaning into dating app's reputation for superficiality with the launch of a new feature that lets paid subscribers add their height preferences to their profiles. After a Reddit user posted a photo of the new height setting in the Tinder app, a company spokesperson confirmed to TechCrunch that the discovery setting has been launched as a global test. So they're adding a height preference. And this is a feature for women, obviously. I mean, men can use it too, I guess, but women are the ones concerned about height. I've never met a man who cares about a woman's height. Right? I mean, I mean, if she's freakishly tall or something, like, if she's taller than me, you know, then that, that, that might be an issue for, for, for some guys. But, but generally, height is not something that men are thinking about with respect to women. So this is a feature for women to filter out, or at least get recommendations that filter out short guys. And as I said, this is just more evidence for why you shouldn't be on the dating apps in the first place. We've already talked about how the deck is stacked against men on the dating apps. There are fewer women and the women get, on average, much, much, much more attention than men get. But. And, you know, so it's stacked against men, but really, for both men and women, the whole thing is so dehumanizing. It really is. Doesn't have to be, right. It's. You can have dating websites, matchmaking type services and so on, and dating websites that aren't dehumanizing, that are actually trying to help people who are serious adults looking for serious relationships find other people who are serious adults or looking for serious relationships and have the same kinds of values. You know, those kinds of sites used to exist. Maybe they still do, I don't know. But that's not Tinder, because Tinder treats you like an object. And when I hear about Tinder, it reminds me, every time I hear something about Tinder or some new update, it reminds me. The way people talk about it, it reminds me of something like Zillow, you know, the real estate website where you can go and find houses that you are for sale if you're looking to buy a house. And, you know, I have a lot of experience, I have no experience on Tinder. I have a lot of experience with Zillow because we've purchased a lot of houses one at a time. Not, I'm not Saying we, we only own one house. I'm saying we've moved a lot, so we've, we've had to one at a time. We've bought houses and sold them, unfortunately. So we've switched houses many times. So anyway, on Zillow, you can narrow down your search with like this extensive list of specifications. And there are specifications that will probably weed out houses that you would have otherwise liked, right? Because it's kind of arbitrary. Like you might put, when you're looking for a house, you might put that you, you want to see houses with three plus bedrooms. And so it's only going to show you that. But there might be a house with two bedrooms and a bonus room or some other kind of room that you could make into a bedroom that has all the other things you're looking for and it's an affordable price and that you would have wanted to buy, but you're not going to see it because it's only giving you the specifications that you asked for. And this is what you do when you're looking to buy an object. You get really specific and choosy. I think everyone is like this. And it's this weird thing where even if you're kind of desperate for a house, I mean, I've been in this situation too, kind of desperate for a house. You need to buy a house, even if maybe, you know, you don't. You're not a millionaire, you don't have a lot of money. So it's not like you have dozens and dozens of options to choose from. You're kind of in a, like a, you think in a sort of a beggars can't be chooser situation, you still become picky about weird things because online shopping, even online house shopping just has that effect. And you scroll through all the houses, you see one that you kind of like. You swipe through the pictures, right? And you know, and then you see something like you don't like the way the staircase looks, or there's, you don't like the countertops or something like that. And then you just move on to the next house. And like I said, you can get this way about house shopping on Zillow. Even if you're, even if you're kind of desperate for a house, even if you don't have a lot of money. This is just how online shopping, this is what it does to you, right? This is, this is how it is when you got so many options and you, and you can be so specific and so picky, including about things that don't actually matter that much or things that you could change about the house and wouldn't cost you much to do it. Still, you just. That's. That's how we're programmed to be when we're shopping for something online. And it's one thing when your mind works this way when you're looking for an object like a house or a car or, I don't know, fishing lures. I just bought a bunch of new fishing lures, so I'm thinking about that. But. So you can do that with objects. The problem is that dating apps seem to make you look at people that way. Okay. Tinder is like Zillow for people, right? Or Amazon for people. It's. It's. And that's a really bad thing because people are not objects. They're people. And you're going to do the same thing you do with Zillow, where you put in your physical specifications that you want and you're almost definitely weeding out people who could have. You could have had a very meaningful relationship with. You could have had a permanent. You could have married them, but you, you know, because maybe they didn't fit one little specification that you had, but. But they've got all everything else you could possibly want in a person. And that other thing really doesn't matter that much. But you're not even gonna see that person because you've weeded them out. And so it's just bad. It's like, this is not how human relationships work. It can't work this way at scale. It never has. There's no precedent for it. There's no analog to this in human history. This is not how people. It is inherently dehumanizing and objectifying for both men and women. And on top of that, the specifications aren't evenly applied, because if you're going to allow women to narrow down a search based on height, then as many people have pointed out, and I agree, you should allow men to narrow specifications based on what is important to them physically, which would be weight. Fair is fair. Height to women is like weight to men, only the weight bias is a lot more justified because, for one thing, weight is a choice. Like if you're overweight, I don't care what you say. You are choosing that. You don't have to be. You could eat less and lose weight. It's. That's the laws of physics. It will happen. So it's a choice. And also, if someone is severely overweight, it does actually reflect poorly on their character. Doesn't mean they're bad people. It doesn't mean they're irredeemable. Certainly we all have flaws. I'm not saying that. But it is a character flaw. I mean, you're wearing your character flaw, and that's an unfortunate thing about gluttony is that you wear your character flaw on you, as in the form of body fat, so people can see it. There are plenty of character flaws a person might have that are just as bad, but you don't. You don't wear it. You don't sort of advertise it publicly, so people don't see it. But even so, it is a character flaw. It is a choice. And so sort of having a bias against women who are severely overweight is much more reasonable than having a bias against men who are short. Because a man's height is not a choice. It doesn't reflect his character at all. And so if you're going to allow that, if you're going to allow that kind of bias, that kind of specificity, that kind of pickiness, right. If you're going to allow those specifications on the site, then you should also allow it for weight. And yet, you know, this Tinder doesn't do that. And I don't think any site does that, because if they did, that would be seen as some sort of attack on women that would be seen as, you know, then we'd have this whole thing about body positivity, even though, again, it's a lot more important. You know, body positivity is mostly a nonsense concept because it's applied so often to things that are actually flaws that are changeable. And so you shouldn't be positive about them. You should try to change them. But if body positivity should be legitimately applied to anything, it'd be something like height. You know, if you're a short guy, like, yeah, you should just be positive about it. And this is the body God gave you. You can't. You can't change it. So that's an area where that should actually apply. But we don't apply it to that. Anytime someone talks about body positivity, they're never talking about height. They're always talking about something like weight, something that can be changed. So it's all bad all the way. In conclusion, let's get to the comment section.

Ziprecruiter.com Walsh Again, that's ZipRecruiter.com Walsh ZipRecruiter the smartest way to Hire Matt I need to tell you about the newest member of the Sweet Baby gang. My son, one and a half years old. We read Johnny the Walrus to him amongst many other books. Often anytime we get to the Zookeeper, we say Matt Walsh. He then brought us the book today and called it Matt, you have a fan. Well, you're raising them right. That's good to hear. And I can tell you that our our youngest are about that age while they're, they're a year old at two and a half years old twins. And they also love Johnny the Walrus. Except they call the book Daddy and they can't wait to get to the page with the Zookeeper and then they point to it and shout Daddy. So they've got great taste in in literature at their young age, which is a good sign. And so does your son as well. Couples counsel are here. And Matt, you're exactly right about going to bed angry and fighting versus arguing. There's a great deal of reliable research supporting these ideas and they're echoed by the Gottman Institute. These are more than just wise observations. They're also scientifically sound. Well, there you go. See, I, you know, I could be a counselor myself and I actually mean that I'm not qualified for much in life. I realize that. But I am qualified to be a counselor only because a good Counselor just requires having basic common sense and, and not being afraid to say things out loud that are sensible, which is a bar that the vast majority of counselors, I'm sure, with the exception of the person who left this comment, it's a bar the vast majority of counselors do not actually reach. So not only am I qualified to be a counselor or a therapist, but I, in fact, am vastly more qualified than the vast majority of counselors and therapists that are working today. And so are you. If you have a. If you're just a common sense person who's not afraid to say something that's sensible. You know you are. You could walk into any therapist practice and you probably would do a much better job than everyone working there. I mean, on average. On average. Matt, you say it's okay to go to bed angry, but I think you mean go to sleep on the couch angry. No, I meant bed. I meant bed that. You know, this whole. I, I've, I've. I'm sure I've commented on this in the past. I know that I have. But this whole my wife made me sleep on the couch thing is incredibly cringe. I think it's dying away a little bit. You know, it's kind of a sitcom, a 90s sitcom motif. But you still see it. You still see comments like this all the time. I see these comments and I, I get these comments a lot. If we're talking about gender dynamics or something, and I say anything that people perceive to be sexist or whatever, these comments, oh, Matt's sleeping on the couch tonight. I hate these kind of comments. I've always hated it. No, I'm not sleeping on the couch. I'm sleeping in my bed. I'm not getting kicked to the couch like I'm some kind of child. Like I'm a. The dog being told to get out of the bed. Okay, that's not. I'm sleeping in my bed. Which has never been an issue, by the way, because my wife has never and would never try to tell me that I can't sleep in our bed. 14 years of marriage, that has never happened one time. But if I were, If I were one of these husbands whose wives try that move, and I get in bed and she's mad and she, like, how does that even work? Is that actually a thing that. I mean, based on how often I hear it, it seems like this is a real thing and not just something from sitcoms in the 90s. And so I'm just wondering in real life, how does that work? You get in bed. And your wife says, no, no, mister, you're not allowed to sleep here. Get out of your own bed in your own bedroom and go somewhere else. And then what? The, the men, the men say, okay, sorry, honey. Oh, I'm, I'm. Oh, I don't have permission to be. Oh, I'm sorry. I'll go sleep on the couch until you let me know when I have permission to come back into my own bed. I'm so sorry, honey. I'm so sorry. No, if, if I were one of these husbands and I had a wife that tried that, I would say, oh, well, so you don't want to share a bed with me tonight? Well, okay, well, then you're afraid to go sleep on the couch. You know, I'll be sleeping in my bed that I bought in my own house, in my own bedroom. But you can go, but you go sleep wherever you want. I'm not going to stop you. So that's the way this is going to work. I'm not. No, no, you're the one with the issue. So you can leave. That's what these husbands should say. But then again, if they were the type of men to say that, then their wives wouldn't be trying to kick them out of bed in the first place. Like, if they were the type of men who would ever say anything like that, actually sticking up for themselves, having any kind of a freaking spine, then their wives would never even try this move of saying, you can't sleep in the bed because the wives respect them enough to not even try that. And also, by the way, you know, if a spouse, if you go to bed angry because you're upset at each other and one spouse or the other decides that they want to storm off to the couch of their own accord, well, you can do that, right? But you also shouldn't do that either, because I think that, that yes, if you're, if you're upset, just as I said, just go to bed. Just, just go to bed, Calm down, go to bed. And if you decide you still need to talk about it tomorrow, talk about it tomorrow and you'll, and you'll be rested. And so. Nope, no, nothing bad can come of that. There's a lot bad that can come of just trying to hash it out while you're all, while you're tired and it's like 12 o' clock at night now. But if you are going to do that, you should still sleep in the same bed because setting this precedent of, well, I can't even. I'm not going to even physically be near you, because I'm upset. I think that that sets a bad precedent. And this is. It's kind of part of the. Part of my kind of go to bed angry strategy is that not only are you going to bed and you're going to let your. Both of you will calm down and you'll just wake up rested and refreshed, but also the act of going to bed in the same bed where you're at least physically near each other and not yelling at each other. And yes, you're sleeping, but just that alone. I think that that's part of what. Of why the go to bed angry strategy can work. So don't. Don't go to the couch. Finally, are there any Matt Walsh fans who would trade a show every Friday for another movie an hour less every week for 90 minutes of Matt are at some point? No, thanks. You know, I understand your point, but not all 90 minutes are created equal. And films, if done well, have a kind of power that a podcast episode just never will or can. And, you know, I mean, I've done what, like, what are we on? I've done 1600 hours about. Of. Of this podcast. 1600 hours. And that's a lot. And I've done three hours of movies. Right. They're both about an hour and a half. I would wager that the three hours of movies that I've done have had more influence on the culture and are more remembered and had, in general a greater impact than the 1600 hours of podcasts combined. And, you know, I don't say that to knock podcasts. I still do this podcast every day, or almost every day now, four days a week. I think it has value. It does matter. If I didn't think I had a value, I wouldn't do it. It does matter. Like, I put a lot of work into it. I care about it. If I'm going to do something, I'm going to. I am going to try to do it well to the best of my ability. But films, you know, art, entertainment, if you do that well, can speak to people in a way, kind of using a language that just is not accessible in podcast form. That's the power of storytelling. So, yes, if you're looking at it just by the number of hours, it's a loss. But if you look at it in terms of impact, then I think that this is a gain. I think that ultimately you gain from it.
