Today,

the Matt Wall show, my expose on
0:02
Vanderbilt's Gender Clinic, which butchers
0:04
in drugs, kids, and that's not even the worst
0:06
of it. has sparked a massive reaction
0:08
on both the right and the left. Best of all,
0:10
there's now a push for legislation to finally
0:12
put a stop to this. I'll give you the latest on this story
0:14
today. Also, The White House walks back
0:16
Biden's claim that the pandemic is
0:18
over and they say not so. Doctors
0:21
will now start conducting regular screenings
0:23
for anxiety. Why is that
0:25
a bad thing? Well, I'll explain. A therapist
0:27
brags on TikTok about how he indoctrinates and
0:29
manipulates kids. And in our daily cancellation,
0:32
a philosopher comes to the defense OF
0:34
THAT TEACHER IN CANADA WITH THE Giant FATE
0:36
BESS, ALL OF THAT AND MORE TODAY ON THE MAT

1:58
We moved to Nashville about two years ago
2:00
and have grown to love city
2:02
and the community here, but when I found out
2:04
that my local hospital vanderbilt drugs
2:07
and mutilates kids. I
2:09
knew that that's not something we could
2:11
tolerate. I don't really want to share
2:13
this city with groomers and butchers.
2:15
The town isn't big enough for both of us, you
2:17
might say. So we decided to
2:19
investigate the hospital and I
2:22
admit that I'm no journalist But if
2:24
the actual journalists aren't going
2:26
to do their job, then it falls to me
2:28
and to others on the right, like, lives of
2:30
TikTok and Chris Ruffo and others who have been
2:32
working to expose the horrors of gender
2:34
ideology. And as we
2:36
dug into this, a story began
2:38
to reveal itself yesterday on the show,
2:40
I sort of told you that story,
2:42
took you took you through it chronologically, started
2:45
in twenty eighteen with the unveiling of Vanderbilt's
2:47
new transgender clinic and
2:49
they were motivated to get into the gender transition
2:51
game in large part because of all the money
2:53
there is to be made from it, which
2:56
in and of itself is maybe not a revelation
2:58
that they like making money from this. But
3:00
it was still interesting to hear the video that we played
3:02
of a doctor boasting
3:04
about the profitability of transition
3:07
surgeries quote unquote, She declared
3:09
that bottom surgery for women,
3:11
which is the construction of an artificial penis
3:13
using skin peeled off of the arm or elsewhere
3:15
on the body, is such a big that
3:18
some clinics can thrive financially just
3:20
by performing those surgeries alone. Now
3:22
why are they such a cash cow, though? Well, because
3:25
as she says, they're they're labor intensive,
3:27
and also because they require lots of follow
3:30
ups. So, yes, if you if you get one
3:32
of these surgeries, You
3:34
will be doomed to a life of continued
3:36
hospital visits as doctors
3:38
work to keep your fake sex organs
3:40
nominally functional It'll
3:42
be miserable for you. I mean, you have signed
3:44
on to be a patient forever.
3:48
But it's great for the doctors of Vanderbilt. I mean,
3:50
they love it. Next, we revealed
3:52
the intimidation tactics the hospital has
3:54
used to keep their staff in line
3:57
because, of course, you know, they decided that they're
3:59
gonna start doing this not everybody is on board
4:01
with it. Not everybody wants to butcher people and chop
4:03
their be be a party to this, chopping
4:05
their their, you know,
4:08
bodies apart and creating new
4:10
sex organs and all the rest of it. And
4:12
Vanderbilt knew that not everybody was on board. So according
4:14
to one video we played, staff were warned
4:16
that if they conscientiously object
4:19
or if they exercise their religious liberty, their
4:21
first amendment rights and decline to participate
4:23
in these procedures, quote, there will be
4:25
consequences. And if that didn't get the
4:27
message, Vanderbilt also enlisted an
4:29
army of trans activists to
4:31
actually attend appointments with
4:33
trans patients to include children and
4:36
conduct essentially surveillance of
4:38
the doctors, making sure that they're all
4:40
affirming of the trans identity. And
4:43
then of course, there's the pediatric gender
4:45
clinic, which grew out of the
4:48
overall transgendered clinic.
4:50
And as I proved with video documentation,
4:53
as much as we hear denials about this
4:55
sort of thing now, the
4:57
fact is that Vanderbilt gives chemical
4:59
castration drugs to young children.
5:02
They prescribe cross sex hormones to
5:04
thirteen year olds, which are irreversible. They
5:06
perform double mastectomies. which
5:09
are also obviously irreversible on
5:11
sixteen year olds and they do all of
5:13
this by their own mission
5:15
because there's a lot of money to be made from it.
5:18
Now, after I released our expose
5:21
here on the show and and on Twitter yesterday,
5:24
it caught fire. Fortunately, my Twitter thread with
5:26
all these videos has been retweeted over
5:29
thirty thousand times in a day and counting
5:31
state legislators here in Tennessee
5:33
have responded promising that they will
5:35
work to ban these practices in the state.
5:37
Our governor Bill Lee issued a statement.
5:40
saying in part that Tennessee, quote, should
5:42
not allow permanent life altering decisions
5:45
that hurt children or policies that suppress
5:47
religious liberties, a call for an investigation
5:49
into Vanderbilt. There's been a response
5:51
on the federal level two senator, Marsha
5:54
Blackburn echoed the call for an investigation.
5:56
The majority leader in Tennessee in the Tennessee
5:58
House of Representatives William Lambert tweeted,
6:00
quote, I'm deeply troubled by what Matt
6:02
Wilson covered about the pediatric transgender
6:04
clinic at VUMC. Governor
6:06
Billy is right to call for an investigation,
6:08
and we will support that investigation one
6:11
hundred percent. This type of child mutilation
6:13
should be illegal and soon
6:15
will be in Tennessee. I
6:18
can also tell you that I've had
6:20
people within Vanderbilt Contact
6:22
me, encouraging me to
6:25
continue exposing the institution they work
6:27
for and offering their help from the inside.
6:29
I've been in touch with many activists and
6:31
others here locally and across the country
6:34
wanting to join in the effort to shut
6:36
down Vanderbilt's child butchery
6:38
business. Now
6:40
all of this, of course, has provoked
6:42
the expected reaction from the left. They
6:44
aren't going to engage in
6:46
any sort of discussion they
6:48
aren't going to attempt to defend Vanderbilt's
6:51
practices or explain why it's actually
6:53
good to chop an adolescent girls' breasts off.
6:55
They're gonna do that. They're gonna justify
6:57
Vanderbilt's intimidation tactics against
6:59
their own healthcare providers. They aren't
7:01
going to do internet because they can't. Instead,
7:03
they'll simply try to have me silenced.
7:06
and if they can arrange it arrested too.
7:08
So just reading through a sampling of tweets
7:10
from some verified accounts. And
7:12
this, again, is just a it's small sampling.
7:15
of what's out there. But trans activist Alejandra
7:18
Karabayo posted, quote,
7:20
Vanderbilt Medical Center has had to shift
7:22
medical appointments for its transclinic to
7:24
virtual telehealth appointments as a result
7:26
of threats being made. Matt
7:28
Walsh is inciting a terror campaign
7:31
against a hospital and disrupting care.
7:33
he will get people hurt or killed.
7:37
This, of course, is the common thing. You're gonna get
7:39
people killed. You're killing people.
7:42
BY FACTUALLY REPORTING ON WHAT THIS HOSPITAL
7:44
IS DOING.
7:44
NOA
7:47
BRILOTSKY, WHO IS A BESAR freak
7:49
who's written for that creepy pro pedophile
7:51
organization, Prostasia, he
7:54
tweeted crying out to
7:56
Twitter to shut me down saying Twitter support.
7:58
How on Earth is Matt Walsh not violating
8:01
terms of service? You are complicit in
8:03
terrorism and you're going to be complicit in
8:05
murder if you don't take action.
8:08
This sentiment was echoed by Leah
8:10
Torres, who's an abortionist, who,
8:12
by the way, if you maybe recognize
8:14
the name from a while ago, she was the abortionist,
8:16
who once bragged about
8:19
cutting the baby's vocal cords during an
8:21
abortion so she can't hear them scream.
8:24
That's what she said. So she's
8:26
she responded saying Matt Walsh is off the rails
8:28
and he is behaving dangerously. I
8:31
reviewed his post just from today, and he's
8:33
going to get people hurt and or killed.
8:35
I reported the post, but that
8:37
hardly feels like enough. Now,
8:40
of course, coming from her accusing me of getting people
8:42
killed, I can't even tell if she means that as a compliment.
8:45
She then tagged the
8:47
FBI, of course, because she wants to get the FBI
8:50
involved. And so did leftist creep named
8:52
Zach Hunt who says, hey, FBI, and
8:54
justice department, and MNPD, Nashville.
8:57
Matt Walsh's targeting Vanderbilt Hospital the
8:59
same way he targeted Boston Children's
9:01
Hospital. Please intervene before one of
9:03
his followers starts calling in bomb threats
9:05
or worse.
9:05
This is
9:07
the strategy they've, of course, long
9:10
since settled on. And
9:12
it tells you everything you need to know.
9:14
Because if there was any possible defense
9:16
of these practices, the
9:18
left would make that argument. They tell us
9:20
what the defense is. If
9:23
there was anything they could say to rationalize
9:25
it, they would say it. But
9:28
there's nothing. There's no defense. Vanderbilt,
9:31
like so many other hospitals and medical
9:33
clinics, is enriching
9:35
itself by permanently damaging
9:38
the bodies and minds of children.
9:40
It cannot be defended. So
9:43
instead, they cry excitement and hope that
9:45
the FBI comes and takes me
9:47
away. What
9:49
that means is that is that these people
9:51
at some level. They
9:54
know that we are right. They
9:56
know it. all the people
9:58
responding. FBI come they
10:00
they all at some level know
10:02
that they're the bad guys here.
10:06
which makes them even the even bigger bad
10:08
guys. Makes you makes you even more evil
10:10
when you're aware of how evil you are.
10:12
They know that this is horrific and
10:15
inexcusable and they must
10:17
recognize that fact or else
10:19
they wouldn't be so desperate to shut down
10:21
any conversation about
10:22
it. If they
10:24
believe that Vanderbilt was entirely in
10:26
the right, they would say, yeah,
10:29
Vanderbilt is doing all of that, and it's
10:31
good. Thank you for the free advertisements. Yep.
10:35
As a as a comparison, the
10:37
left likes to talk about the
10:39
the evils perpetrated by pregnancy
10:42
centers. You know, and and,
10:44
of course, they say all these things about pregnancy centers. And
10:46
then pregnancy centers are actually physically
10:49
attacked, and there's our sin
10:51
and and and everything else. but
10:53
that's not an incitement.
10:54
But here's
10:56
here's the interesting thing. If
10:58
if somebody on the left were to
11:00
post a
11:03
long thread going through
11:05
picking out any pregnancy center and saying, look at what
11:07
this pregnancy center does. And then
11:09
they post an
11:11
accurate description of all the resources and
11:13
all of the, you know, practices of this pregnancy
11:16
center. As a supporter
11:18
of pregnancy centers, I would say,
11:20
great. That's exactly what Partnership Centers
11:22
do. Thank thank you for letting people
11:24
know. Please post more like
11:26
this. As an advocate,
11:28
and a supporter of pregnancy centers. I am proud
11:30
of that.
11:31
If you
11:34
wanna talk about pregnancy centers, we can
11:36
definitely talk about it. Not like I try shut you down
11:38
for talking about it.
11:38
See, that's
11:42
what you do if you believe you're in the right.
11:45
If you believe you're in the wrong, then you,
11:48
you know, literally call the police
11:50
and try to have me thrown in a jail
11:52
cell just for factually
11:54
reporting about what this institution is doing, and
11:56
who they're doing it to. Now
11:58
as for Vanderbilt's response,
12:00
they have so far issued no statement
12:03
except They did in effect issue a
12:05
statement when they took down their website for their
12:07
transgender clinic. Now when I say they took
12:09
down the website, I mean, the
12:11
whole site. They
12:13
deleted the entire site.
12:16
Getting rid of all the evidence. Now,
12:18
fortunately for them, we anticipated that,
12:20
and we spent the previous
12:22
week archiving, saving videos, and
12:24
taking screenshots, so we have it all. It's
12:26
too late to get rid of it, guys. We have
12:28
it. I mean, what I
12:30
posted yesterday talked about the show. That's
12:32
only a small fraction of what we have. We
12:34
have the rest.
12:35
But up until
12:38
now, I mean, how do we get a a hold of this stuff?
12:40
Because up until now,
12:42
they were posting everything online
12:44
with reckless abandon we didn't
12:46
dig through their trash or secretly film
12:48
them to get this footage? They
12:51
filmed it and posted it. The
12:53
footage of their doctor threatening reprisals
12:55
for conscientious objections was
12:58
streamed live to Facebook and
13:00
then published and posted there and kept there
13:02
for two years, same for
13:05
the video of the woman admitting to
13:07
Avanderbilt's greed and profit motives.
13:09
streamed it. Put it
13:10
on Facebook. Didn't even take down the stream
13:13
afterwards. Didn't even say to themselves, oh,
13:15
well, she she went a little off script there
13:17
with some of this. I think we're gonna take this down. left
13:19
it up
13:19
there. For
13:23
years, these people did whatever they
13:25
wanted, and they did it out in the open.
13:27
without fear of pushback or
13:29
criticism.
13:30
But those
13:32
days are over. they're
13:35
over and they're never coming back.
13:37
So if you're in the
13:40
gender butchery business, you ought to
13:42
know that. You operated
13:44
with impunity for a while,
13:47
but now that's done.
13:48
and
13:51
I am not satisfied to simply
13:53
report on what Vanderbilt is
13:55
doing. Like I said, I'm not a journalist. I
13:59
will act the part if I
14:01
have to because the real journalist
14:03
won't.
14:03
But
14:06
III have an opinion here. III have a
14:08
perspective. I have
14:11
an agenda. The agenda
14:13
is protecting kids. and exposing
14:16
horrors and atrocities where they're happening.
14:18
And the other part of the agenda is to
14:20
shut this down. k? We're gonna put
14:22
a stop to it. We're
14:24
gonna put a stop to it. We're not going to allow
14:29
this to happen to children. We're gonna
14:31
make this illegal. That's
14:34
what happens next. And
14:36
we're just getting started. Now
14:39
let's get to our five headlines.
14:47
I can't say enough good things
14:49
about my Helix mattress. You know, we got we
14:51
got one Helix mattress, and we gave it to my
14:53
daughter for her for her to sleep in. And
14:55
then I felt very jealous of that, so we said we need to get a
14:57
second Helix mattress. And now finally, my wife and
14:59
I have one. You
15:01
can get a great night's sleep on a Helix mattress.
15:03
And if you wanna see for yourself, well,
15:05
Helix has several different mattress miles choose from. They
15:07
have soft, medium, and firm mattresses. Match
15:09
is great for cooling it down. If you sleep
15:11
hot, Match is great for a spinal alignment
15:13
to prevent mornings, aches, and pains, and even
15:15
a Helix plus mattress
15:17
for plus size sleepers, very important.
15:19
As well, they also have a sleep quiz that
15:21
matches your body type and sleep preference to the
15:23
perfect mattress because Why would you buy a mattress
15:25
made for someone else? So if you're looking for a
15:27
mattress, take the quiz, order the mattress that
15:29
your mattress to and wait for the delivery
15:31
Your mattress will come right to your door
15:33
for free. You don't ever need to go to the
15:35
mattress store. Again, they have a ten year warranty and
15:38
you get to try it out for a hundred nights
15:40
risk They'll leave it and pick it up for you if you don't
15:42
love it, but you will, I guarantee it. For a limited
15:44
time, Helix is offering up to three hundred fifty dollars
15:46
off all mattress orders and two free
15:48
pillows for our listeners. This is their best
15:50
offer yet to hurry over to
15:52
helix sleep dot com slash walsh.
15:53
I should
15:56
also tell you that
15:59
this is one more reason
16:02
as we're working on this
16:04
with this or the Vanderbilt. And
16:05
as I said, this is just we
16:09
have good plans here. I can't lay them all out
16:11
yet, but that that
16:13
will come soon. And
16:15
this is really just the
16:17
beginning. We
16:20
we are exposing this in Tennessee
16:22
because this is where we live. It seems like a
16:24
logical place to start, but
16:26
it doesn't end
16:27
there. But
16:30
I should tell you that and this is this is
16:32
the truth. We we cannot do
16:34
any of this without our members
16:36
supporting us. And you might think, well, you
16:38
know, why do you need memberships to post a
16:40
Twitter thread about this? Well, this is actually this
16:42
is hours of research and
16:44
and and manpower that goes into something
16:46
like this. Because even though they post all this stuff
16:48
to to the Internet, it's a lot of stuff to
16:50
sift through. And most people just
16:52
don't you don't have the time of the energy to do, which is one
16:54
of the reasons why they've gotten away from it for
16:56
so long. And
16:59
that's something we're able to dedicate the
17:01
resources to because, I mean,
17:03
directly because of our
17:06
members. So if you are a member,
17:08
thank you for that. Thank you for enabling
17:12
us to fight back in this
17:14
way, in a way that's meaningful to, like, actually try
17:16
to make a difference. I sit here every
17:18
day on the show talking about all
17:20
these awful things happening in
17:22

18:02
Turning Point USA has
18:05
this report on their website. It
18:07
says Dylan Mulvaney is a
18:09
man who began publicly identifying as female
18:11
just a hundred and ninety one days ago.
18:13
And demands others use she then
18:15
pronouns when referring
18:17
to him. He was invited to speak
18:19
at the twenty twenty two Forbes
18:21
Power Women's Summit.
18:23
Mulvaney posted about his
18:25
experience going to the Forbes conference
18:27
where he spoke on a panel with two women
18:29
about his transition journey,
18:31
as well as the social media
18:33
to mainstream pipeline. problem
18:36
with his appearance is a simple fact that he is indeed a not
18:38
a woman who presents himself as an overdramatized
18:40
parody of a female. Now we
18:42
have the tweet from Forbes where they
18:44
They posted, you know, an image of this
18:47
Dylan Mulvaney character. And
18:49
the the four at
18:51
Forbes women, says, Dylan Mulvaney
18:53
speaks about collaboration and
18:55
authorship at the Forbes Power
18:58
Women Summit.
18:59
This is something that they've
19:02
invited to the women's summit
19:04
as a speaker to
19:07
address women And I wanna show you this just
19:09
give you an example of the kind of
19:11
thing that Dylan posts. Again, as you
19:13
heard there, just started, quote,
19:15
identifying as a woman Like half
19:17
a year ago. Okay? About six months ago.
19:21
And what does that mean for him?
19:23
I mean, what does what does being a woman
19:25
mean? Well, here it is. Let's find out.
19:29
Day six, being
19:29
a girl, and today I'm in
19:32
nature. Trees, I love
19:34
them. Water
19:36
likes. I love them. Heels.
19:38
They're my hiking heels. I love them.
19:41
Okay.
19:41
ha
19:46
Britches.
19:46
Love them.
19:48
Coconut
19:49
water. Love it. Not mad. Just love
19:52
it. Wind turbine.
19:54
love it. With meadows, love
19:57
them. This is supposed to be what women
19:59
do.
20:01
Is this a This is a woman or is this like
20:03
a woodland elf?
20:07
Columbia.
20:09
Oh,
20:12
Did you receive it?
20:14
Gotta get out of here. Yeah. This is
20:16
deaf. This is this is all kind of information. Alright.
20:18
It's a giant. Oh my god. Okay. There you go.
20:20
If ever again, out of
20:22
your So there's that's Dylan Mulvaney's journey
20:26
becoming a woman. And I
20:28
I only show you that because, again,
20:31
this Forbes invited that
20:33
person to be a speaker at
20:35
a women's leadership
20:38
summit.
20:40
an an utter cartoon.
20:43
Right? A total mockery
20:45
of of womanhood. And
20:48
every time I see something like this, III think,
20:50
like, have you ever met a
20:52
woman? Do do you have you ever even
20:54
met one? what woman acts
20:56
like that? This is this is an
20:58
impression. This is like some sort of it
21:00
would seem to be a parody in actual it would seem
21:02
almost to be an actual intentional
21:05
parity of of a woman.
21:07
Because if
21:09
you've ever met one in your life,
21:11
you would know that nothing about
21:14
that.
21:16
strikes me as remotely feminine
21:22
This is what they turn women into, as well they turn them into
21:25
flamboyant gay men. What do
21:27
you know? Big
21:29
coincidence. And
21:31
the irony is that on the right,
21:33
we're always accused. Anytime we talk
21:35
about if we're talking about
21:37
abortion, for example, our pro life
21:39
conviction as men. The response
21:41
from people on the left always is, well, you
21:44
what do you know about women? Have you ever met a
21:46
woman? A bunch
21:48
of virgins? There's something they
21:50
say to me all the time even though I have six
21:52
kids now. I've got my I'm
21:54
driving around on my twelve passenger van than I
21:56
just bought yesterday by the way. because
21:58
my wife finally did give in and realized
22:00
we had to buy the vans with this big I'm driving around
22:02
my big massive van and soon to be
22:04
filled with six kids And then you've
22:06
got the left. A bunch of childless left is
22:08
not your virgin,
22:10
which
22:12
maybe they they really mean it
22:14
because they they don't know where babies come from.
22:16
They actually don't understand the biology
22:19
of it. And so that makes that's an accusation
22:21
that makes sense of them. So as much as they like we
22:23
always talk about on the left, whatever they say about their
22:25
opposition is actually true of them. So it's nothing
22:27
but projection all the time. And
22:29
that's the case here because This
22:31
is this is the the version
22:33
of womanhood that they
22:35
prop up, which is not
22:37
womanhood at all, but is again a
22:40
satire, a parody, a
22:42
cartoon.
22:42
Okay. I've
22:46
I've never known My my
22:48
wife enjoys being out in
22:50
nature out in the woods. Okay.
22:53
But I've never known her to put on high heels
22:56
and and prance through
22:58
the forest. spinning
23:01
around and talking about how much he loves everything
23:03
in the forest. That's
23:07
Okay. If you got your idea
23:09
of womanhood from watching nineteen
23:14
fifties Disney cartoons, So
23:16
if you got your idea of womanhood from
23:19
Snow Light and the seven doors,
23:21
that's basically what this
23:23
guy's
23:23
got here. That's
23:26
something maybe it's like a snow white. She's she's running
23:28
through the forest and singing and the birds are coming
23:30
and singing along with her a
23:34
literal cartoon. what
23:36
they've turned woman womanhood into.
23:39
I would be, if
23:41
I was a woman, which
23:43
in fact I am not and never could
23:46
be
23:47
the
23:48
despite popular misconceptions.
23:51
I would be deeply
23:53
deeply offended by that sort
23:55
of thing. That would be offensive to
23:58
me. to be portrayed in that
24:00
in that way way. Alright, Joe
24:02
Biden announced a few days ago that the
24:05
pandemic is over.
24:07
He announced that on sixty minutes, but his
24:09
administration isn't quite ready to give up the
24:11
pandemic yet. They they still have they
24:13
still have COVID coordinators on staff
24:15
for goodness sake. They have a they're
24:17
using their pandemic powers to ram
24:19
through unconstitutional measures, and they probably have some
24:21
more they wanna do with that power. So
24:23
they need this. They need the pandemic. They're not
24:26
ready to give it up. Yet they've
24:28
got old Uncle Joe up there, babbling about
24:30
how the pandemic is over, going
24:32
off script, And so now the administration is in cleanup
24:34
mode. And here is Karen Jean pair on
24:36
MSNBC. Try your best to clean
24:38
up after her boss. Let's see how
24:40
she does. president
24:42
also in the sixty minutes interview
24:44
said that the pandemic is over. There's been
24:46
quite a bit of pushback
24:49
to that statement by the
24:51
president. Where is he today on that?
24:52
So just to step back for a second,
24:55
what we saw during that interview
24:57
sixty minute interview when he made those comments. He was
24:59
walking through the
25:02
Detroit car show, the halls of the
25:04
Detroit car show, AND HE WAS
25:06
LOOKING AROUND. WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THE LAST
25:08
TIME THEY HAD HELD THAT EVENT
25:10
WAS THREE YEARS AGO. EVEN AS WE'RE
25:12
TALKING ABOUT UGGA, THE PRESIDENT IS GOING
25:14
TO SPEAK shortly as I just mentioned, we that hasn't
25:16
been held in in person for about
25:18
three years as well. So we are in
25:20
a different time. He's been very
25:22
consistent about that. And
25:24
the reason why is because we are not
25:26
prepared. We are now ready. We
25:28
know how to deal with
25:30
this pandemic. It is now more
25:32
manageable. It's not as disruptive as
25:34
it's been in the prior in the
25:36
prior years. And so and it is because of
25:38
what this president has done on day
25:41
one. If you think about where we were, when he walked
25:43
in, three thousand people were dying a
25:45
day. That has come down ninety percent
25:48
You think about schools that were closed. Now schools are open.
25:50
Think about businesses were closed. Now
25:52
businesses are open. And it's because of the work
25:54
that this administration has done. Now what
25:56
he has been very consistent about
25:58
is that we have to continue to
26:00
have a front foot on this. So
26:02
we have the funding, so that we are
26:05
ahead of this, of any
26:07
other, as we look at
26:09
future vaccines and future
26:11
treatments, we need to make sure that we
26:13
are ready for that as we're also
26:15
leading, as we're talking of the
26:17
backdrop of anger, as we're
26:19
leading globally as well.
26:22
Pretty
26:22
good. I you know, I was I'm I've had to admit.
26:24
I don't give her a lot of credit. I'll give her some credit
26:27
there. Just her
26:29
ability to to pretty good job
26:31
filibustering there. Keep on
26:33
talking. Keep on talking. To stop them from asking
26:35
any follow ups, not that they would have anyway because
26:37
it's MSNBC. and they're they're all on the
26:39
same team. But
26:40
com she
26:41
was talking around the issue, of
26:43
course. It usually she doesn't do a very good job. I mean, that
26:45
that is if you're a White House press secretary especially
26:48
for a Democrat president. That's all you're ever
26:50
supposed to do is talk around the issues, not answer
26:52
any questions. Usually, she fumbles around
26:54
quite a bit with that. She is getting a little better.
26:56
She's learning. So that's nice.
26:58
And there she talks about two
27:00
minutes. But
27:01
in summation, if
27:02
we were to summarize everything she just said, she
27:04
is claiming that her boss the president
27:06
of the United States was wrong. She's she's saying no, he
27:08
was wrong about that. The pandemic
27:11
is still ongoing. She didn't come out outright and say,
27:13
but that is in fact what said. her
27:15
spin is that, well, the pandemic still
27:17
happened, but it's under control. And
27:19
so when you said the pandemic is over, he actually meant that
27:21
the pandemic is not over, but it's
27:24
under control. And why did he say that? Because
27:26
he was walking around at a car
27:28
show. I don't see I don't see
27:30
the connection. Well, Of
27:32
course, he thought the pandemic was over. We was walking around at
27:34
a car show. You
27:37
know, and he saw a bunch of empty cars
27:39
and he didn't see COVID in them. So he thought that's what was
27:41
happened. I he thought there was no COVID.
27:43
So let's
27:46
start her explanation started a little bit
27:48
rough in that, but she pivoted away from the
27:50
car show and then just started babbling
27:52
about COVID response and all this stuff like
27:54
that. That that was that's what we got
27:56
to the what what her
27:58
her job is.
27:59
Alright. So
28:02
I wanna
28:03
show you this
28:05
segment from -- and this is also from
28:07
NBC about the supposed right
28:09
wing effort to ban books.
28:12
We hear a lot about this now,
28:14
and TracStar is from CNN. How do you
28:16
tell the difference anyway? we're
28:19
constantly hearing about how on the right. We're out
28:21
there just burning books, banning
28:25
books. Now as a right way
28:27
extremist myself, And as a sarcastic
28:29
terrorist, I've never been
28:31
invited. I'm a little bit offended that all these
28:33
book burnings are happening on the right. I've never
28:35
even been invited one. But
28:37
apparently, this is what we're doing. Want you to watch
28:39
how this segment plays out there. Watch this. In
28:41
our varied lead,
28:42
that's what we call stories we do not think
28:44
are getting enough attention. AT
28:47
LEAST fifty GROUPS ARE FIGHTING TO BAN
28:49
BOOKS IN U. S. SCHOOLS, THAT'S ACCORDING TO
28:51
PIN A NON PROFIT LITERARY
28:53
ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION. A new report from Penn says
28:55
these groups are fighting to ban material
28:57
related to race and LGBTQ rights
28:59
and critical race theory and
29:01
more. Joining us now to discuss, Jonathan
29:03
Friedman, he's the director of free expression and
29:05
education programs at Pan America.
29:07
Jonathan, thanks for joining us. Your report breaks
29:09
down the subject matters for the books that are Currently,
29:11
there are pushes for them to be banned. A majority of
29:13
them have LGBTQ plus themes
29:16
or have a protagonist of
29:19
color Explain more
29:21
if you would. And obviously, the
29:23
devil's advocate argument might be to
29:25
a parent out there. Hey, I don't want MY
29:27
FIRST GRADE READING ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH SEXUALITY MUCH
29:30
L GTBQ OR HADROSEXUAL
29:32
ANYTHING. Adrienne: YEAH, THANKS FOR
29:34
HAVING ME. I'M HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT THIS.
29:37
you know, in district after district, we've
29:39
been tracking book bands, efforts to
29:41
remove and restrict and diminish access
29:43
to literature for young people And
29:46
the trends are very
29:48
clear that LGBTQ books, books
29:50
that touch on race and racism, or books
29:52
that have any kind of sexual content, you
29:54
know, whether it's book a young
29:56
adult, work of fiction that
29:58
has a couple kissing or
29:59
a book teaching a young person about
30:02
puberty is on the chopping block and it's
30:04
the same books being targeted everywhere.
30:06
Now parents do have a right to
30:08
get involved, have a voice, bring
30:11
their concerns to teachers, to librarians, to
30:13
school districts. But increasingly,
30:15
we are not seeing any kind of
30:17
regular process is being instituted
30:19
in response to those domain demands.
30:21
Someone demands the book is removed and
30:23
they don't want it maybe for their own child, but
30:26
immediately that book is taken away everybody else. You
30:28
can't run schools that way. Yeah.
30:30
So you
30:30
notice that you notice what you notice what you
30:32
don't notice that you notice what's missing.
30:35
And first of all, he doesn't answer he doesn't actually answer the
30:37
question from Jake Tapper. What about
30:39
parents who say that there shouldn't be sexual content
30:41
of any kind especially in elementary
30:43
school classroom or library. Doesn't
30:46
answer that question. The other thing they don't do
30:48
is give any examples
30:51
of the books that are being banned.
30:53
Because it is true that we on
30:55
the right, otherwise known as just like rational,
30:58
morally decent people, which
31:01
when they say the right, that's actually what they mean these days,
31:03
which fine I'll accept it. But
31:05
we we have called for
31:07
banning certain books from the
31:09
classroom
31:09
But
31:11
those are books that are explicitly
31:14
sexual and graphic And that's
31:16
why they don't actually they don't give an example. They don't say, well, this specific Here's
31:19
one specific book that conservatives have
31:21
wanted to take out of the classroom. Here
31:23
it is. Now much less do
31:25
they show you any of the images
31:27
from these books? Not gonna do
31:29
that because if they did,
31:31
every single even the the average CNN viewer
31:33
would see it and say, well, that's in the
31:35
classroom. Are you kidding me? That's
31:38
what you guys are complaining
31:39
about? One
31:42
of the books and there are
31:44
there are only a sort of a really
31:46
a few books that are in in contention
31:49
here. and they're only in contention because the left
31:51
came along and said we want to put these books
31:53
into the classroom.
31:57
And then we who are rational saying morally
31:59
decent people said, no, you're not
32:01
putting that in the classroom. The left
32:03
comes along and says, hey, we got a great day. We're gonna put
32:05
some pornography in the classroom.
32:07
And then we say, no. I'm
32:09
putting porn in the classroom. Oh, you book
32:11
burners. You're just like Nazis.
32:12
You're
32:14
the one trying to inject this
32:16
stuff into the classroom. The kids were
32:18
doing fine
32:19
without it. Well,
32:21
they don't wanna
32:22
give you an example because one
32:24
of one of the most infamous examples
32:26
is book genderqueer.
32:28
which is a
32:31
pornographic It's kind of a
32:33
graphic novel in graphic in
32:35
multiple senses of the word. And we've talked
32:37
before about some of the stuff that's in this
32:39
book. There's there's pornographic
32:41
stuff depicting, for example,
32:43
Felicia and those sorts of things. In the
32:45
book, pictures of it.
32:46
But they're not
32:49
gonna show you that. Because like
32:51
I said, if they showed you that,
32:53
the average CNN viewer, even the average
32:55
CNN viewer, if they showed, okay, here's a
32:57
book, genderqueer, here's here's one of the books they
32:59
wanna ban. And and here's the page that
33:01
has really been come under contention
33:03
the most And and there you see you you see someone with a
33:05
with a strap on Dildo and
33:07
someone else is performing Felicia on them. That's
33:09
in the
33:10
book. People
33:12
watching CNN are gonna say, what in the world? You're
33:14
telling me that is in the classroom.
33:16
Yep? Of
33:21
course, Tapper also says that the other
33:23
books that are being banned are ones where
33:25
there's a protagonist of color. Because
33:27
right, because you've heard conservative's call
33:29
for that. I think of all the conservatives who said, no,
33:31
we don't want any books with protagonists of
33:34
color. get that book out of the We've seen
33:36
all these school board meetings where parents get
33:38
up there and they and they they present the
33:40
books that they found in their kids
33:43
school's library and they say, we don't want this
33:45
book. How many of those videos have we seen
33:47
where the parent stands up and
33:49
has a book and says, this book doesn't belong in the classroom. has
33:51
a protagonist of color in
33:53
it. How many videos
33:55
like that have you seen? Well, none at all
33:58
because Those are not the books
33:59
anyone has a problem
34:01
with. We're very
34:03
specific about this. We just don't want
34:06
graphic pornographic depictions
34:08
in books given to kids in
34:10
elementary schools or at any other grade
34:12
level? that That's
34:14
all. That's
34:15
our only point.
34:17
Let's see.
34:18
NBC has this report.
34:20
US
34:20
doctors
34:22
should regularly screen all adults under sixty five for
34:25
anxiety, an influential health guidelines
34:27
group proposed on Tuesday. The
34:30
first time the US preventative services task force has recommended
34:33
anxiety screening in primary care
34:35
for adults without symptoms. The
34:37
proposal is for public comment until October
34:40
seventeenth, but the group usually
34:42
affirms its draft guidance. The recommendations
34:44
are based on a review that began before the COVID
34:46
nineteen pandemic evaluating
34:48
studies showing potential benefits and
34:50
risks from screening. Given reports of a
34:52
surge in mental health problems linked with
34:54
pandemic isolation
34:56
and stress, The guidance is very timely, says
34:58
Lori Bert, a task
35:00
force member and
35:02
co author. Actually,
35:04
your name is pronounced your name is spelled PBERTP
35:07
Burt? The word is.
35:08
P Burt is
35:09
a psychologist researcher at the University
35:11
of Massachusetts, Chan Medical School.
35:14
So this is what they're recommending now. And
35:16
this and they're recommending it, and the
35:18
recommendations always always
35:20
end up becoming policy. So this is gonna be the policy now. We're gonna
35:22
do anxiety screenings for
35:24
adults without
35:26
symptoms. And it's the kind of thing
35:28
that I think if you're not really clued in and paying
35:30
attention, you might hear that and you might
35:32
say, well, sounds like a good idea. Sure. Extreme for
35:35
anxiety is a bad thing and why
35:37
not have a doctor screened for it. This
35:39
is actually a terrible idea. This
35:41
is an awful idea. Because I
35:43
tell you what this functions as and I
35:45
tell you what the purpose of it is,
35:47
It is to funnel more and more
35:49
people into the pharmaceutical
35:52
pipeline. Get more and more people
35:54
on drugs. They wanna like, we don't have enough
35:56
people on psychotropic drugs already. We don't have enough
35:58
people on anti anxiety, anti depressants
35:59
already. Even though
36:01
with antidepressants, the
36:03
whole the medical basis for antidepressants has
36:05
been destroyed now, has been revealed to be a
36:07
fraud, but still millions of
36:10
people on these drugs Not enough though
36:12
for the system. They want even more people. And so
36:14
now they're gonna they're gonna start screening you
36:16
for anxiety
36:18
symptoms. So if they find a hint of
36:20
anxiety, they can say, well, let's get him on a drug too. Good news. You get to be on
36:23
a drug. Screening
36:25
for an
36:25
anxiety symptoms.
36:28
Everyone
36:28
has anxiety. It is
36:31
the human condition. It is
36:33
one of the most
36:36
the It's it's it
36:38
is
36:38
a hallmark of the human condition. In
36:40
fact, there's anxiety. It's one of the things
36:43
that separates us from the
36:46
animals. It's
36:46
one of the defining
36:48
traits of
36:49
the human psyche is anxiety.
36:51
Everyone has
36:53
it. Every single person. You right now.
36:55
Every single person watching. You all
36:57
have anxiety. All of you. Like, there's never
36:59
been a person who has walked through
37:02
a day and not experienced anxiety. It has never happened ever in the history of
37:04
humanity.
37:05
And
37:08
so now for screening everyone for it on a regular basis, that
37:10
means that what do you know? We're gonna
37:12
find millions of more cases
37:14
of anxiety and that's millions of
37:18
more customers for the pharmaceutical
37:21
industry. And not just funneling
37:23
them into the clutches of
37:25
the pharmaceutical industry, but also into
37:28
the clutches of therapists and counselors, which is a problem
37:30
as well. Because although because
37:33
although in theory, therapy and counseling can
37:35
be a good thing. I mean, the whole idea between
37:37
behind therapies, you go and you talk to someone, you
37:39
talk about your
37:42
problems, In theory, that's a very good thing. And there are very good therapists and
37:44
counselors out
37:45
there. But a lot of them
37:48
are rapid
37:50
ideologues. and gender
37:52
ideology cultists with their own
37:56
agenda. And their agenda has nothing to do with
37:58
act with anything therapeutic. They're not looking to
37:59
help you. with your problems. So for
38:02
example, here's a viral TikTok posted by
38:04
lives of TikTok. Well, reposted she didn't
38:06
post it initially. This
38:08
is from a therapist,
38:12
and this is a TikTok that
38:14
he posted. And
38:16
this is what therapy is today in so many cases. So
38:18
we'll play it and we'll read the captions up
38:20
here, but go ahead and play it.
38:24
So it says, point of view, your homophobic, transphobic
38:26
parents drop you off to therapy thinking
38:29
I'm a hetero. When he
38:32
starts dancing, me,
38:34
queer as if here to validate your
38:36
feelings, support you, talk about oppression,
38:38
and challenge your parents.
38:40
Then this is, again, something he posts willingly to kick doc for everyone to see.
38:43
So he says, here's what he's actually here to
38:45
do. Put put put the back up up on
38:47
the screen for a second. the
38:49
end of that? What he's actually
38:51
here to do? Say, the
38:53
parents drop the kids off thinking that, well, am
38:55
I gonna get my kids therapy?
38:58
They need some help. They have emotional problems. Make sense as a parent. You'd like
39:01
to think that you that you could trust a therapist.
39:03
But he says, no, that's not his agenda.
39:05
It's not that. His agenda because
39:08
he's queer as f is to
39:10
validate your feelings, support you,
39:13
talk about oppression, and
39:15
challenge your parents. That
39:18
is not therapy. That is not counseling.
39:20
At
39:22
validating your feelings,
39:24
is is the
39:27
not just not therapy, that's
39:29
the opposite of what a therapist
39:31
is supposed to do. if
39:34
if the patient is gonna sit
39:36
down there and the client
39:38
is gonna sit down there and you're gonna
39:41
validate whatever they say, Why are
39:43
they there? What are you there for? What's the function
39:46
exactly? You're not supposed to be there to
39:48
validate whatever
39:50
unreasonable, delusional thing
39:52
you might think to validate your and
39:55
affirm your lack of perspective,
39:58
your confusions, they're
39:59
supposed to be there for
40:01
clarity and
40:04
perspective.
40:06
And if a child isn't getting along with
40:09
his parents, the therapist is supposed to
40:11
help heal that relationship. help
40:14
the child see more clearly, help the child understand
40:16
his feelings and his thoughts,
40:18
and help to heal the
40:20
divide between parent and child.
40:24
But now for so many of these people as they will
40:26
willingly announce for everyone
40:29
to see, they see their
40:31
jobs as the opposite. their job is
40:33
to sever the parent child destroy it,
40:36
and to take all of the mental confusion
40:38
that's causing the problem and
40:41
encourage it. And there's
40:44
gonna be more victims. As we as we
40:46
start screening people for anxiety and
40:48
depression and all these other things, that
40:50
that means sending them more into therapists. And then
40:52
and then what happens? So if someone gets screened,
40:54
maybe your kid gets a little anxiety
40:56
screening. And the doctor says, yep.
40:58
got some anxiety. Let's get them on drugs. Send them to a therapist. Sits down with
41:01
a therapist. And the therapist says, well, you know, I've
41:03
figured out what your anxiety is all about.
41:05
Turns out that you think you're a boy
41:07
but you're actually a girl. That's what the anxiety
41:10
is. And your parents would tell
41:12
you otherwise, don't listen to them. They're a bunch of
41:14
scumbags and and they're oppressive and and
41:16
bigoted. Don't listen to
41:16
them. This is the
41:20
process. This
41:20
is how you trans an entire generation,
41:22
which is what they're doing
41:25
right now. Alright. Let's get to the
41:27
comment section. Made swear
41:29
to my fly off the handle
41:31
with rage. Coose Blame.
41:36
It's a sweet baby
41:40
gang.
41:42
Matthew says, Bexar County
41:44
is pronounced Bear County for future
41:46
reference. Please don't say Bexar County
41:48
again. It is a macro I
41:52
should not micro. You're also canceled for this offense. No. That's not
41:54
how it's pronounced. And I and there
41:56
are many other comments too because I talked
41:58
about Bexar County and the Democrat Sheriff
42:01
down there, to arrest Ron DeSantis. All these comments, that's not
42:03
it's pronounced Bear County. No, you're
42:05
wrong.
42:06
k? You live in
42:07
Inexar County, and and
42:09
you are actually wrong about how your own
42:12
town is pronounced. I am telling you as an
42:14
outsider how to actually pronounce it.
42:16
The DEXAR
42:16
is not pronounced
42:19
bear. There's
42:20
no version of the English language
42:23
that would arrive, that that
42:25
that can make bear out of
42:27
BEXAR It's
42:30
Bexar. Hate to tell you. You've been
42:32
pronouncing it wrong this all the time.
42:34
That's how you put The
42:38
letters have there are certain sounds that that letters make. And
42:40
this is how we This is how you learn English in the
42:42
first place. This is how we
42:44
teach kids. And
42:47
I know English can get a little funky sometimes and you've got
42:49
silent letters and all these different things, but there have
42:51
to be limits to it.
42:53
k?
42:55
You can't
42:56
We
42:58
have to draw the line somewhere.
43:00
That
43:04
is Bexar County. Rachel
43:06
says, my eighth grader, Roquee
43:09
Hall, as his preferred pronouns in his health class. I
43:11
told him that it was my proudest
43:13
parenting moment to date and and
43:16
rightfully so rightfully so.
43:18
That is exactly how kids
43:20
should respond. make a
43:22
joke out of it. Make a mockery of it.
43:24
Fantastic. Jay Starz says I thought Matt
43:26
was gonna cancel the rap in grandma. He was
43:28
even reclining back in at the end of the video, which always
43:30
does. But right before he tears into somebody, he just
43:32
goes to show that though we may know Matt Walsh,
43:34
we don't really know him. He is beyond
43:36
our understanding, beyond us, mortal humans.
43:39
Matt
43:39
Walsh simply
43:42
is. But why would you
43:43
think that I would want to well, you're banned from
43:45
the show for that. Why would I
43:47
don't a policy of cancelling every single
43:50
person who performs a kind of
43:52
awkward and embarrassing rap. That's not a policy
43:54
on
43:56
this show. If you got the wholesome quotient, I might not be a
43:58
very wholesome guy myself. I might not
43:59
always appreciate
44:02
wholesome things. But you know what,
44:04
wholesomeness can go a long way, I think.
44:06
You can get a you can get away with a lot,
44:08
with your wholesome. And the grandma, she was
44:10
wholesome, and so
44:12
it's allowed. Ashley says, my favorite part of the show is
44:14
when Matt tells sweet stories about his
44:16
kids. Well, they aren't just sweet. I mean, I I tried to
44:18
tell stories that are funny. I'm not up
44:20
here like, Let me tell you about
44:22
another cute thing my kid
44:24
did. See, there seems to be a bit of a false narrative
44:26
building here, which is why I wanna address this because
44:28
last night, one of our
44:30
superfans on Twitter after
44:32
watching Backstage, she tweeted
44:34
and she said that she thought I was I
44:36
was such a sweetheart
44:38
during Backstage. This is
44:40
what? What kind of
44:42
irresponsible
44:42
misinformation is
44:44
this? This is dangerous
44:46
misinformation. and a threat to
44:49
our democracy. I will tell you
44:51
one sweet story about my kid. Fine. I last
44:53
and there's no nothing funny that happens at the end of
44:55
this, but this is just I'll give
44:57
you one. So last night, I get
45:00
home from backstage. And
45:02
my nine year old daughter comes out of a
45:04
room, and says, Daddy, I've been waiting up for you. I need to show you something. So she
45:06
was waiting up to show me such wait. It's like two hours.
45:08
She was waiting up. And then I go into room,
45:10
she hands me her little notepad.
45:13
where she had written a song. And
45:16
and she waited up for, like, two hours to show
45:18
me the song that she wrote. And it
45:20
was it was a very
45:22
sweet song. and it was
45:23
very nice. There was a little derivative of other
45:25
songs I've heard. You know, there might be some
45:28
plagiarism a little
45:30
bit, but It was still was very it
45:32
was very cute. Very
45:34
nice. Peter
45:36
Van Eaton says, hi, Matt.
45:38
What happened to that trans Phd student that was sending drugs to other
45:41
transgenders by mail? That story became
45:43
very quiet. I yeah. Eli
45:45
Herlick, I have forgotten
45:47
about that. I can tell you
45:50
that.
45:52
That's just
45:54
like Vanderbilt, this is not something that
45:56
I'm going forget about because that's part of
45:59
the story. So we
45:59
have the
46:01
ways that kids are
46:03
legally right now, drugged and
46:05
mutilated about that. But then even
46:08
when you stop it from happening legally, I mean, that's gonna
46:10
put that's gonna save a lot of kids
46:12
just just on
46:14
its but they're also the underground black market
46:16
operations. Eli Ehrlich is
46:18
one example of that not the
46:20
only one. So that's
46:22
something we're working on to. I'll just tell
46:24
you that. We haven't forgot about it.
46:28
I'll also say that not
46:31
everything can be
46:32
achieved by talking about it publicly.
46:34
about a public
46:37
Hebirth Alvarez says careful
46:40
Matt, Ben has tried to commit facial hair
46:42
appropriation. You can't let
46:44
him appropriate. Flannel. No. I'm
46:46
yeah. I did see Ben backstage last night
46:48
had a little bit of facial hair going on. I
46:50
there's no appropriation here. I always
46:53
welcome I'm very tolerant and welcoming
46:55
and inclusive in the
46:57
bearded facial hair community, and I
46:59
welcome anybody in IIIII
47:02
welcome anybody in a sort of like a long lost brother,
47:04
you know. So I think that's a
47:08
wonderful thing. And finally, Adam says, Matt, I appreciated your discussion about
47:10
porn during Backstage last night, but I
47:12
thought you personally came off as holier
47:14
than thou
47:16
and judgmental to those who
47:18
struggle with watching
47:20
porn. With respect,
47:22
if you thought that from watching the discussion
47:24
that I can only think that you didn't you weren't watching it very carefully. Just
47:27
because we're talking about
47:29
something and saying that it's bad and we
47:31
shouldn't do it, that doesn't that's
47:34
not holier Holier than now is if I were to stand up
47:36
and say, I am better than all of you
47:38
and I follow
47:40
my example, That's
47:43
not how I approach any conversation. We're
47:45
just talking about the issue.
47:46
And there are some realities
47:47
with pornography, and none of the
47:50
realities are
47:52
good. It is a dirty, shameful, awful thing,
47:54
which is why men who suffer from
47:56
a porn addiction want to
47:57
get over. I mean, they know this. They don't need
47:59
me to tell
47:59
them that.
48:00
the me to tell them and they
48:03
wouldn't disagree.
48:03
I think and and you should that
48:06
was the members block
48:08
of the backstage last
48:10
night, which is another reason to become a member, so you can watch
48:12
great content like that. But I thought it was a really
48:14
interesting conversation. And and
48:16
III enjoy Backstage
48:18
the most when we get into kind of debates and arguments. reason
48:20
why the debates are interesting is
48:22
because we agree fundamentally
48:25
on the basic principles.
48:27
And
48:29
when you agree on the basic
48:31
principles, you can have much more interesting arguments. This
48:33
is why debates in our
48:35
culture generally are so uninteresting and
48:37
tedious and boring and they don't they don't amount
48:39
to anything or go
48:42
anywhere because there's there's a fundamental disagreement about the basic principles
48:44
and so you you can't get anywhere in the
48:46
conversation. You can't get past
48:48
square one. because
48:50
you are your your, you know, your company, you're
48:52
living in two different universes. But when
48:54
you can agree on the basic principles, then
48:56
it allows you to get a little
48:59
bit deeper into the weeds and talk about more interesting things. And so that was was happening in the
49:01
in that porn conversation. I'm not gonna rehash
49:03
the entire thing. I will just reiterate some of the
49:05
points that I was trying to
49:08
make. in that that conversation,
49:10
which is that well, there's
49:14
two
49:14
things. there's
49:16
this idea that, well, all men look at porn and there's nothing that could
49:18
be done about it. Everyone looks at it and you can't,
49:20
you know, you can't really stop men from doing
49:23
it. Men can't stop themselves. That
49:25
wasn't said exactly in the conversation, but, you know, there's there's
49:28
this idea in general that you hear sometimes.
49:30
And I
49:31
reject
49:34
that. you
49:34
know, I I reject that
49:36
it's that it's this automatic uncontrollable
49:39
thing. I rejected it.
49:41
It's not true. It is it is in fact
49:43
possible to not look at porn. Now
49:46
if you have an addiction and especially if
49:48
you've been
49:50
immersed in these addictions from childhood
49:52
and your very your your fundamental
49:54
notions of human sexuality have been
49:56
warped and perverted by this filth
49:59
that swimming in from a young age, then
50:01
getting past that, that is very
50:04
difficult.
50:04
But
50:07
it is
50:08
possible to not look at pornography. Like,
50:09
as a man, it doesn't have to be part of
50:11
your life.
50:14
It's not a judgmental holier than thou statement. I
50:16
think it's actually a
50:18
that's a message of hope. Like, you don't have to this is this
50:20
is not this doesn't automatically come
50:22
with a territory. It is possible to have a life
50:26
totally free of this filth. You can That is possible.
50:29
Very possible.
50:30
But the other part of
50:32
it is that I think we have to
50:36
validate to use the leftist to use
50:38
the leftist term. They're
50:40
validate the feelings of women and
50:42
of wives
50:44
who feel totally devastated and destroyed
50:46
by their husbands looking at pornography.
50:48
I mean, the way they see it
50:51
is when their, you know, their husband's upstairs look at
50:53
it. Other people have sex while she's
50:55
now taking care of the kids. I mean, she sees this
50:57
as a total
51:00
betrayal.
51:01
And I agree with her. She should see it that
51:04
way. She's not
51:05
crazy for seeing
51:07
it that way. That's how
51:09
men should see it.
51:10
It
51:10
gives you all the more motivation to
51:12
try
51:12
to free yourself from
51:16
this. Because when you look at
51:18
porn, especially if you're a married man, that
51:20
is not a victimless
51:21
crime. It's
51:23
it's it's not neutral. you
51:25
you're actually hurting people. I mean, you're hurting yourself and you're hurting your family
51:27
and your wife and your kids, you're
51:29
hurting everybody. That's closest to you.
51:31
People you love the most. So
51:34
that's the
51:35
point I wanted wanted to make. I'm not
51:37
sure what you see the holier than now
51:39
in that. There are
51:40
two
51:41
ways to absolutely stop the
51:43
left inch tracks. Their first is to point out
51:45
their lunacy. The second is to take as much
51:47
money away from them as possible. And if you're
51:49
a regular a regular listener to
51:52
this show, you're doing the former. If you made the decision to stop
51:54
supporting Harry's or Gillette and go to
51:56
Jeremy's razors, then you're
51:58
doing both. now. But
52:00
if you haven't heard yet, we've got a
52:02
brand new incentive for you. It's the
52:04
Jeremy's Razor's contest for
52:06
the car. Whether we call it that because it's a contest for a
52:08
car. Here's how it works. For every person you
52:10
refer, whether they buy a Jeremy's razors kit or
52:12
a deli wire
52:14

52:16
get point in the race to win the God
52:18
Kings, McLaren. If someone
52:20

52:22
warm my heart. So get out there
52:24

52:26

52:50
friends shave with woke
52:52
razors. Now let's get to our
52:54
daily cancellation.
52:57
So you have at this point
52:59
certainly heard the story about the teacher
53:01
in Canada who enjoys wearing
53:04
giant prosthetic breasts
53:06
to class. acting out his perverse sexual fantasies in front of his students.
53:08
In fact, he forces them to
53:10
participate in effect in his
53:11
fetish against their will just by
53:14
being there. The story has
53:16
resonated because I I think it's so disturbing and
53:18
weird and shocking. That's one reason why it's caught
53:20
people's attention.
53:21
Nobody could have predicted
53:23
it exactly, but I think this
53:25
pervert in Canada with his giant fake breasts may serve as
53:28
a turning point for the culture
53:30
because people
53:31
can finally see
53:33
where gender ideology leads. Even those who, to
53:36
this point, generally went along with it,
53:38
using preferred pronouns and so on, all
53:40
in the name of being polite. They wanted to
53:42
be polite. now that we're getting to
53:44
notice the slope that
53:46
they're rapidly slipping down. Because if you
53:48
start affirming everybody no matter
53:50
how degraded their self perception
53:52
might be, You quickly end up with things like this. You end up
53:54
with fetishists wearing sex aids to
53:56
school. And that's far
53:58
from the worst of it.
54:00
But not everybody is ready to condemn the man with the fake breasts. Peter
54:02
Bauchosian, who is who bills
54:05
himself as a philosopher tweeted, infamous
54:08
fetishists along with the caption,
54:11
quote, most people have
54:13
strong moral impulses about whether
54:16
this individual should be allowed to teach their children in a public school.
54:18
But very few can construct a good
54:20
argument why or why not. It's
54:22
more difficult than you think.
54:24
Try it.
54:25
bryant Well, actually,
54:26
Peter, it's not difficult at all. I mean, you might as well
54:28
claim that it's difficult to come up with an argument
54:30
against setting puppies on fire or
54:33
or purging, torching nursing homes.
54:36
It is very easy to explain why these things are bad. In the case
54:38
of a teacher, I can do it in one
54:40
sentence. You shouldn't act
54:43
out your sexual fetishes in
54:45
front of children. They're
54:47
done. I could add,
54:49
you know,
54:50
I could add to that that you shouldn't act out your
54:53
sexual fetishes at work, at all, even if you
54:55
don't work with children, you shouldn't act them
54:57
out in public. So there
54:59
there are
54:59
three good arguments
55:01
against this behavior That's only a very
55:03
partial list. But what is Peter's actual point? And
55:06
why is he pretending that
55:08
the freak with the the the big fake
55:10
boobs presents some
55:12
sort of complex moral dilemma. Why is the acting
55:14
like this is something that Greek philosophers might
55:16
have might have written about and argued about?
55:19
perhaps Aristotle wrote a treatise on fetish gear in
55:21
the classroom. Well, I'll have to
55:24
check. I'm not sure.
55:26
Well, I think that What we really
55:28
see here is first,
55:31
the insistence that
55:33
we cannot condemn anything unless
55:35
we're able to come up with a universal generalized overarching principle
55:37
for everything that
55:40
that that and that if potential
55:42
exceptions at all to the principle,
55:44
then the condemnation is
55:48
automatically invalid. So this is this is
55:50
the idea. You can't commit anything unless you have an overarching general
55:52
principle that applies to it. And if there are
55:54
any exceptions to that principle, then the principle
55:57
no longer hold. This is the attitude on the left
55:59
which is why you can never get them to talk
56:01
about any specific thing. Immediately, they'll
56:04
go to
56:06
the exceptions. which are supposed to
56:08
negate whatever you said about the specific
56:10
thing, that was not an exception.
56:12
So how does this relate to the dude with the big fake
56:14
boobs? Well,
56:16
I imagine then if you condemn the
56:18
prosthetic breast, somebody like Peter would respond, well, why
56:20
is it wrong to wear prosthetics?
56:23
What about a teacher with a prosthetic leg?
56:26
What
56:26
about that? Gotcha.
56:28
And
56:28
even if you hinge your argument
56:31
as I did on the idea that
56:33
adults shouldn't be acting out their fetish is in front
56:35
of children? Somebody like Peter might retort with
56:37
something like are all fetish is bad?
56:40
But what if someone has a fetish for
56:42
wearing pants? Does that
56:44
mean they they shouldn't wear pants in the
56:46
classroom? Got
56:48
you again. This is how they
56:50
play
56:50
the game. You know, if you
56:52
think I'm exaggerating, consider that the left
56:54
has actually argued and has been arguing today
56:57
after this after the Vanderbilt
57:00
expose They
57:00
argue that it's invalid to criticize
57:02
double mastectomies for gender
57:05
confused girls because sometimes
57:08
girls need double mastectomies as
57:10
breast cancer treatment. So
57:12
they take two completely different situations,
57:15
which are extremely easy to distinguish between and
57:17
claim that because there is one
57:19
through line connecting them, you
57:22
automatically cannot condemn the one without
57:24
condemning the other. Like,
57:26
they they act as though the only way to condemn
57:28
double mastectomies for teenage girls
57:30
is to argue that double
57:32
mastectomies in and of themselves
57:35
are wrong all the
57:38
time. It's
57:38
an utterly absurd tactic, but this
57:40
is what most
57:41
debates on the Internet
57:43
boil down I think there's something else going on
57:45
here too. Peter acknowledges that
57:48
most people have a strong moral
57:50
impulse against this kind
57:52
of activity. that he
57:54
declares that this moral impulse isn't
57:56
sufficient. Like, we have to come up with a
57:58
rational argument
58:00
against it. In this case, you know, we we
58:02
can come up with with rational arguments easily
58:04
in this case. It's not it's not it's not actually
58:06
hard to
58:08
do. But even if we couldn't,
58:10
putting that aside, why isn't
58:12
our moral impulse good enough?
58:14
Now why isn't
58:15
it good enough? He says
58:17
people have a moral impulse that this is wrong. Okay.
58:19
Well, say no more. I mean,
58:21
we You acknowledge this is our
58:23
moral impulse tells us that
58:26
it's wrong to behave this way. Why
58:28
do you need more than that? This
58:30
is something we all
58:31
inherently recognize as
58:34
wrong, almost everyone in the
58:36
world knows it's wrong to wear fetish
58:38
gear in front of
58:39
kids. The people who actually
58:41
do it also
58:42
know that it's wrong which is part of the sixth
58:44
thrill they derive from it. They're
58:46
masochist titulated by humiliation
58:48
and also excited by
58:51
breaking taboos. As for
58:53
the people who don't personally
58:55
engage in his behavior, yet would defend
58:57
it on principle, most of them like the
58:59
school administrators who defended him They know that
59:01
it's perverse and gross, but they feel compelled
59:04
to accept it in the name of gender
59:06
identity intolerance. Any
59:08
small fraction of people remaining who are
59:10
not themselves fetishes, but genuinely
59:13
don't believe that this activity
59:15
is wrong. Well, it's easy
59:17
to explain them a combination of mental illness and deep
59:19
moral confusion engrained in them practically from birth
59:22
by the nihilistic degraded culture
59:24
they live
59:26
in. So we have a world where
59:28
almost everyone intuitively inherently sees
59:30
that this sort of activity is
59:34
wrong. along may maybe along with a small minority
59:36
who don't see it because they're mentally
59:38
disturbed and diluted. Well, Peter
59:40
says that's that's that's not good
59:44
enough. We have to be able to explain these things, things
59:46
that everyone knows, and if we
59:48
can't explain them, then the thing
59:50
can be ignored or discarded.
59:53
This is the trick the left has been
59:55
pulling for decades. Our
59:56
inherent moral intuition as human
59:58
beings must be
59:59
explained to
1:00:02
their satisfaction or else they're
1:00:04
entitled to just ignore it completely. But that's not
1:00:06
true. It's not
1:00:07
how it works. that how works
1:00:10
And
1:00:10
it also unfairly flips the burden of proof around. See,
1:00:12
it's not up to
1:00:14
you or to me
1:00:16
to
1:00:17
explain why grown men should not play
1:00:19
out their sexual fantasies in front
1:00:21
of kids? I can't explain it, but that's
1:00:23
not my job. If
1:00:25
Peter or anybody else thinks that this activity
1:00:27
is acceptable, it's up to
1:00:29
them to present their
1:00:31
arguments defending it. So you see
1:00:33
the tactic here. If we can't
1:00:36
rationally defend our moral
1:00:38
intuition, then they can do
1:00:39
whatever
1:00:41
they want. But they
1:00:42
don't have to rationally defend anything.
1:00:45
It's all us. They don't have
1:00:47
to defend or explain anything. We have
1:00:49
to defend and explain everything. We
1:00:51
have to tell them
1:00:53
why they shouldn't do it. They don't have
1:00:55
to tell us why they
1:00:58
should. Except again,
1:00:58
that's not how it works.
1:01:00
Like, if
1:01:01
you're coming along and insisting that the moral impulse shared
1:01:03
by nearly everyone in the world
1:01:05
is wrong, you have to
1:01:07
make your
1:01:08
case. You have present
1:01:10
your evidence and convince us that actually
1:01:12
it's good for men to wear enormous fake boobs
1:01:14
in the classroom. The
1:01:16
burn of proof
1:01:17
is on you.
1:01:20
It's on you.
1:01:20
When when the man shows up with the giant
1:01:22
fake boobs, he no. No. He can't
1:01:24
say Don't give me one good reason why
1:01:27
I
1:01:27
shouldn't wear these. No. No. You're
1:01:30
you're freaking weirdo? You give me one good
1:01:32
reason why you should. You're
1:01:35
the one showing up here like that. Explain
1:01:37
to me. Explain to yourself. Explain
1:01:39
to me why you are acting
1:01:41
that way. I don't have
1:01:43
to explain myself. I'm not
1:01:45
the one doing something bizarre and
1:01:47
ridiculous and gross. That's
1:01:49
you.
1:01:50
yourself
1:01:51
You explain yourself. But that's a burden
1:01:53
you can't meet, which is why
1:01:54
they always try to flip the conversation around and
1:01:56
put the onus on us as
1:01:59
if our conviction that children should
1:02:02
fetishes of adults in some sort
1:02:04
of radical idea in need of
1:02:06
explanation. It
1:02:08
isn't. We need to explain
1:02:10
nothing. We need
1:02:13
only say to Peter Bughosian and
1:02:15
his friend with the breast. You're
1:02:18
canceled. And I'll do it for
1:02:20
us today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.
1:02:22
Have a
1:02:23
great day. Godspeed. as
1:02:25
we move into our members block. Okay. Godspeed.
