Today on the Matt Wall Show, children's hospitals around the country are butchering, mutilating, and sterilizing their young patients.
00:00:05.960
New videos reveal just how widespread and depraved this practice is.
00:00:14.520
Also, more information is released about the FBI's fishing expedition at Mar-a-Lago.
00:00:18.400
And CBS has figured out why kids these days are fat.
00:00:23.300
In our Daily Cancellation, Kamala Harris tries to explain the concept of equity.
00:00:26.300
It doesn't go well, but in fairness to her, there is no coherent way to explain equity.
00:00:30.000
All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:41.020
Roe v. Wade has been overturned, and this battle is now finally leaving D.C. and going to the grassroots.
00:00:46.660
No group in America is better positioned than 40 Days for Life.
00:00:49.360
With about a million volunteers in 1,000 cities, 40 Days for Life holds peaceful vigils outside abortion facilities.
00:00:54.380
They have a larger presence in blue states, with California being their largest state, which is where they're needed the most.
00:01:00.860
Some former abortion facility directors say these vigils can cause the abortion no-show rate to go as high as 75%, which is detrimental to their abortion business, to say the least.
00:01:09.680
These law-abiding vigils have closed many abortion businesses in America, and nearly half of these closed were in liberal cities, where abortions will remain legal, including closures in San Francisco, Chicago, and Seattle.
00:01:20.940
Well, 40 Days for Life is effectively changing hearts and minds in the grassroots to end abortion.
00:01:25.160
Check out their locations and podcasts and free magazine at 40daysforlife.com.
00:01:29.800
Now is not the time for us to back down or think that the fight is over to protect life.
00:01:37.700
At the very least, it enters a new and very important phase, and that's why we need 40 Days for Life.
00:01:41.260
So for more information on 40 Days for Life, go to 40daysforlife.com.
00:01:47.440
I have survived barely my harrowing bout with laryngitis, and it has cleared up just in time because there's a lot to talk about.
00:01:56.400
We are way past the stage where anything can be fixed by simply talking about it.
00:02:01.580
The rot in this house is too deep, too pervasive.
00:02:04.920
We've ignored it for too long, and now we have only two choices left.
00:02:08.660
We can continue to paint over the problem, put it out of sight and out of mind until the floor gives out and the roof caves in and we're all buried.
00:02:18.920
Take out the sledgehammers, crowbars, start pulling the rotting pieces out, and replacing them with better material.
00:02:27.820
There's no guarantee that we can salvage what's been neglected for so long, but it gives us a chance at least.
00:02:32.760
It's much better than sitting around waiting for the ceiling to fall on us, especially because this dilapidated old shack that we're living in is increasingly unsafe for our children.
00:02:43.540
So late last week, a video went viral from Boston Children's Hospital advertising what they describe as gender-affirming hysterectomies.
00:02:50.820
In fact, BCH has, or had anyway, dozens of videos on their website and YouTube channel promoting all manner of barbarism and mutilation for minors.
00:02:59.580
For obvious reasons, this one especially caught people's eyes.
00:03:06.720
Gender-affirming hysterectomy is very similar to most hysterectomies that occur.
00:03:11.800
A hysterectomy itself is the removal of the uterus, the cervix, which is the opening of the uterus,
00:03:16.720
and the fallopian tubes, which are attached to the sides of the uterus.
00:03:20.420
Some gender-affirming hysterectomies will also include the removal of the ovaries,
00:03:24.200
but that's technically a separate procedure called a bilateral oophrectomy.
00:03:27.780
And not every gender-affirming hysterectomy includes that,
00:03:30.840
and people who are getting gender-affirming hysterectomies do not have to have their ovaries removed.
00:03:36.680
Yeah, so a gender-affirming hysterectomy is similar to other forms of hysterectomies
00:03:40.460
in the same way that having your leg eaten off by a shark is similar to having it amputated because of gangrene.
00:03:46.960
You know, they're similar only in the comparative end result of no longer having that body part attached to you,
00:03:52.240
but the similarities end there because in one, you're getting a necessary and life-saving medical procedure,
00:03:58.200
and in the other, you're being mauled by a savage beast.
00:04:02.320
Whether that beast is a shark or a smiley, polite gender-affirmation surgeon, it's the same.
00:04:08.780
You know, naturally, our brave media fact-checkers were on the case as soon as that video went viral.
00:04:15.560
A few days later, a series of fact-checks were posted assuring the public that, in fact,
00:04:20.020
these hysterectomies are not performed on minors at all.
00:04:22.840
They're not. Don't worry. They assure us. That's not happening.
00:04:25.800
Doctors wait until a girl is 18, three years before she can legally buy her own wine cooler,
00:04:31.220
seven years before she can rent her own car, before they begin removing her reproductive organs.
00:04:36.560
That's a good thing because it's not like 18-year-olds are notorious for making rash and self-destructive decisions
00:04:43.520
I mean, 18-year-olds are perfectly equipped to make any decision imaginable.
00:04:47.860
But, of course, the fact-checks are also wrong.
00:04:50.200
As a reporter for The Post-Millennial, Christina Buttons, points out,
00:04:53.240
Boston Children's Hospital follows WPATH guidelines,
00:04:55.680
and WPATH recommends hysterectomies and genital surgeries for 17-year-olds
00:05:04.040
Also, she notes BCH will perform a phalloplasty,
00:05:06.660
which is the creation of a fake penis using the severed skin from the forearm, at the age of 18.
00:05:11.960
But hysterectomies have to be completed three months before that,
00:05:19.340
Whether gender-affirming hysterectomies are performed on girls when they're 17 and a half
00:05:23.800
or six months later, the horror and atrocity is that they're being performed at all.
00:05:30.420
And while the trans cult tries to confuse the conversation
00:05:32.980
by quibbling over the exact age in which these various brands of butchery are inflicted on young people,
00:05:38.680
the incontrovertible fact remains that girls as young as 13 are having their breasts chopped off,
00:05:45.320
and both boys and girls as young as 16, if not younger,
00:05:48.380
are undergoing irreversible forms of genital mutilation.
00:05:52.340
And even before any of that, prepubescent children are being castrated and sterilized.
00:05:57.020
And this is happening in every state and in hundreds of hospitals
00:06:00.740
and other establishments across the entire country.
00:06:04.300
Like the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, for example,
00:06:06.540
which also went viral a few days ago for its own video promoting this particular type of child abuse.
00:06:15.060
I'm one of the doctors at the Center for Adolescent and Young Adult Health
00:06:20.220
I wanted to talk to you guys today a little bit about puberty blockers.
00:06:24.460
Puberty blockers are basically a medication that says,
00:06:30.180
And that can be really beneficial for younger kids who have already started the puberty process
00:06:34.940
who either might go through a lot of psychological distress as they go through puberty
00:06:40.440
if they're struggling with gender dysphoria or for somebody who's saying,
00:06:45.180
hey, I'm not really sure if I feel comfortable in my body or what gender I truly identify with.
00:06:54.240
And so doctors will irreversibly damage their bodies in order to ensure that they will never be comfortable in their bodies.
00:07:01.860
That's the general strategy with puberty blockers.
00:07:04.300
This is also why the claims that surgeries are held until 18 are not only objectively and wildly false,
00:07:10.840
it's just not true, but they're also irrelevant.
00:07:12.880
Because no matter when the surgeries are performed, the stage is set physically and medically before these children even hit puberty.
00:07:21.420
They're put on the conveyor belt heading towards the meat grinder,
00:07:25.580
and most will stay on until they're fed right into it.
00:07:32.220
Indeed, they're put on the assembly line well before the onset of puberty, years before.
00:07:36.600
Another Boston Children's Hospital video promotes the idea that children can identify themselves as trans from the minute they're born.
00:07:47.660
So most of the patients that we have in the GEMS clinic actually know their gender, usually around the age of puberty.
00:07:53.180
But a good portion of children do know as early as seemingly from the womb.
00:07:57.320
And they will usually express their gender identity as very young children.
00:08:00.960
Some, as soon as they can talk, they might say phrases such as,
00:08:03.700
I'm a girl, or I'm a boy, or I'm going to be a woman, or I'm going to be a mom.
00:08:10.120
So in the GEMS clinic, we see a variety of young children all the way down to ages two and three,
00:08:17.540
When they come into the clinic, they'll see one of our psychologists,
00:08:20.380
and we'll be talking to them about their gender.
00:08:23.400
We'll be talking to their family about how to best support that child
00:08:26.320
and how to make sure that that child has the space and support to explore their gender
00:08:35.960
A lot of parents do have questions, and so we answer those questions.
00:08:39.040
The biggest piece of advice I give parents who are coming through the gender clinic
00:08:42.620
at Boston Children's Hospital is to just be supportive.
00:08:48.100
Sometimes you feel like you don't know the terms,
00:08:49.760
or you don't kind of get exactly what the child means when they say that they might be this gender,
00:08:54.520
but the biggest thing you can do is just love your child and support them
00:09:00.880
That's the biggest protector as well against negative mental health effects
00:09:04.120
such as depression, suicidality, anxiety that we worry about
00:09:10.740
So that support from a parent is one of the best protective factors
00:09:19.760
You know, children, babies, just out of the womb,
00:09:24.200
don't even recognize, they don't have a concept of their own selves.
00:09:29.760
They don't recognize themselves as being distinct entities apart from their mothers.
00:09:35.440
They see them and their mothers as being one and the same.
00:09:38.860
So, but a child with no concept of self can yet have a concept of gender.
00:09:48.480
Well, because they might refuse to get a haircut when they're toddlers or they're peeing the wrong way
00:09:53.420
or they're trying on a sibling's clothing or they're playing with opposite gender toys, she says.
00:09:59.360
So according to Boston Children's Hospital, literally every toddler who has ever been born
00:10:04.840
or will ever be born is trans because that describes the behavior of all toddlers everywhere for all time.
00:10:12.440
Now, if it seems like they're casting the widest imaginable net in order to catch the most children they can and put them all on a path to sterilization and butchery before they can even talk,
00:10:22.780
well, that's because that's exactly what these monsters are doing.
00:10:27.200
They're doing it with full knowledge of what they're doing and why.
00:10:30.880
And they've done it up until this moment without much resistance from the public.
00:10:36.600
And that's why I'm in the very early stages of trying to organize a national coordinated effort to fight back against this evil.
00:10:50.300
It is to our shame that there aren't rallies and vigils outside of every hospital, every clinic where kids are being butchered and sterilized.
00:11:00.580
It is an indictment on our entire culture and everyone in it that there has not been mass marches on Washington with hundreds of thousands of people speaking out against this.
00:11:10.860
There should be a full-scale assault encompassing activism, lawsuits, political action.
00:11:17.680
We should be pressing every pressure point all at once.
00:11:22.780
Now, so far, there has been resistance, but it's been haphazard, localized, disconnected, usually quite small in scale.
00:11:35.060
But I can use my platform and resources that I have to mobilize an overwhelming national effort to save our kids from this madness.
00:11:46.640
You know, it's really just a matter of where do we begin.
00:11:52.500
Maybe we begin with thousands and thousands of people outside of that building.
00:12:01.180
And I do expect that if we really ramp up our efforts to fight back against this, things will get ugly.
00:12:12.040
This weekend, trans activists on Twitter developed a new strategy for coming after me personally.
00:12:16.960
They decided to start tweeting that I'm a child abuser.
00:12:20.640
Now, there's, of course, no basis at all for this charge.
00:12:25.080
However, they simply invented it out of whole cloth, knowing that defamatory claims, if they take on a life of their own and are filtered through mostly anonymous accounts that would be difficult to sue for defamation, can be as harmful as they are baseless.
00:12:45.100
This is certainly not the first time that these people have tried to mass, you know, have tried mass defamation against me as a strategy.
00:12:52.740
Since my film came out in June, since before that, really, but especially since the film, I've been constantly slandered and defamed.
00:12:58.540
On top of that, they've tried to get me kicked off of every platform through one mass reporting effort after another.
00:13:07.200
Things have happened that I can't even talk about for security reasons.
00:13:10.220
But suffice it to say that the threats have made it close to home.
00:13:15.520
But as far as I'm concerned, these are all prices worth paying.
00:13:18.460
In fact, every bit of slander, every death threat, every dirty trick from these people only radicalizes me even more.
00:13:26.500
If the backlash has caused me to reflect on anything, it's only made me reflect on why I'm not doing even more to oppose these people.
00:13:34.520
So after that sort of reflection and reconsideration, I've decided to double down, triple down.
00:13:42.200
I've decided to be even more radical and extreme in the fight against this scourge.
00:13:47.680
I've decided to keep doing everything they don't want me to do and saying everything they don't want me to say, except I'll do it more and say it louder.
00:13:55.740
And I'll be a bigger pain in the ass than I've ever been.
00:13:57.900
And I would ask everyone else to make the same pledge.
00:14:03.820
Because we can't sit around waiting for things to improve anymore.
00:14:51.460
Now, many of you might be wondering, well, if I'm routing all my data through a VPN, then doesn't the VPN have access to all that?
00:14:58.960
Well, you're right to think that because many VPNs claim to have a no-logs policy, but they've been caught logging customer activity anyway.
00:15:06.920
ExpressVPN is the only VPN I trust because they use trusted server technology.
00:15:11.000
They were the first major VPN provider to engineer all of their VPN servers to run in RAM.
00:15:14.820
This makes it impossible for their VPN servers to store any data, including logs of any ExpressVPN customer.
00:15:21.880
You don't have to take my or ExpressVPN's word for it.
00:15:24.240
ExpressVPN is so confident in their no-logs claim that they have had one of the biggest assurance firms, PWC, audit their technology.
00:15:32.980
It's no wonder that the Verge named ExpressVPN, the number one VPN in the entire world.
00:15:37.620
Stop letting people keep logs of what you do online.
00:15:48.780
Go to expressvpn.com slash Walsh right now to learn more.
00:15:51.940
You know, when I first came down with the jitus, laryngitis, I actually thought it would be not so bad at first.
00:16:02.300
But I quickly discovered that not having a voice really makes you an invalid, whether you like it or not, especially in a house with four little kids.
00:16:09.520
You know, my loud sort of booming man voice really comes in handy when it comes, when it was hurting the cats at home.
00:16:19.900
So if I, all week, if I needed to stop the kids from doing something or tell them to do something, I had to like wave and flap my arms around and use improvised sign language.
00:16:27.580
And even if they knew what I was saying, they would act like they didn't.
00:16:32.640
So my son would be like literally climbing the wall and I'd start flailing around.
00:16:39.400
And he would just look at me and go, what, daddy?
00:16:43.180
I would come closer to hear you, but I'm climbing the wall right now and I don't know what you're telling me.
00:16:51.040
These are the ways that you're taking advantage of.
00:16:53.480
Hopefully my voice holds up though, at least for one show anyway.
00:16:59.260
This was a story that we were tracking last week.
00:17:03.140
We talked about last week for the one show where I could talk.
00:17:06.640
Eli Ehrlich is a trans activist and influencer who, it was revealed by Libs of TikTok,
00:17:11.120
posted on Instagram a few months ago, announcing a plan to send prescription hormone pills
00:17:15.680
to anyone who wants them across the country, including minors.
00:17:19.480
In circumvention of states that are outlawing these drugs for kids.
00:17:24.100
Also in circumvention of like every law, of every federal law.
00:17:27.060
I mean, you can't, you can't just take prescription pills and mail them to somebody.
00:17:30.560
Much less can you organize a distribution network for the illegal distribution and dealing of prescription drugs,
00:17:40.800
And it turned out that Ehrlich had talked about this plan many times before.
00:17:45.700
We played the YouTube video with a sort of a confession, which has now been deleted.
00:17:52.260
And then there were these other Twitter posts, which Libs of TikTok dug up a couple of days ago,
00:17:59.140
just to show you how often Ehrlich has talked about this.
00:18:03.720
This is in violation of Twitter's rules, by the way, of course.
00:18:05.900
Like you're not allowed on any of these platforms.
00:18:08.220
According to their rules, you cannot use their platforms to facilitate the commission of a crime.
00:18:16.120
He says, as I've said before, if anyone needs hormones who can't get access, message me.
00:18:21.940
This is only a Band-Aid solution to an ongoing political problem,
00:18:24.640
but we can't rely on the state or medical institutions to keep us safe and healthy.
00:18:29.840
We now have a full network of trans people with prescriptions for testosterone shots and testogel, too.
00:18:35.000
We refuse to let Texas prevent trans youth from accessing care.
00:18:41.440
After reading about the sickening new Texas Directive Against Trans Youth,
00:18:44.120
I will personally mail estradiol and speranolactone to anyone worried about the government coming after your kids.
00:18:53.600
Okay, so this is, and testosterone, by the way, a Schedule 3 controlled substance.
00:18:59.740
But it's being announced on Twitter, on YouTube, on Instagram, this illegal drug distribution thing.
00:19:08.780
Now, I recommended last week reporting this to the DEA.
00:19:12.000
And if you haven't done that yet, then, now, I know it's the DEA.
00:19:16.640
The chances that they'll do anything are relatively slim.
00:19:20.740
And if you haven't yet, go to the DEA's website.
00:19:22.780
It's very easy to go Google it, find the tip line, and send the tip in.
00:19:29.720
Ehrlich also lives, I believe, in New York City.
00:19:32.220
So if you want to contact local law enforcement, if you haven't done that yet, I know a lot of people have,
00:19:36.100
you can contact local law enforcement, let them know they have a confessed drug dealer running this prescription drug ring in the city.
00:19:42.000
Maybe they should want to do something about that.
00:19:43.640
I also mentioned that Ehrlich is a Ph.D. candidate at University of California, Santa Cruz.
00:19:48.040
Now, I said last week that I'd give the leadership there a day to respond and to tell us what steps they would take to address this
00:19:54.920
before I started giving out their contact information.
00:19:57.520
Well, they never did address it, and I was out for a week.
00:20:00.340
So they actually ended up getting a week, and now it's time to escalate.
00:20:06.280
University of California, Santa Cruz is a public university.
00:20:09.740
These officials have no rights to ignore this issue.
00:20:21.440
There's a confessed drug dealer sending drugs to kids at your school.
00:20:26.020
You can't just ignore the public when we're concerned about it.
00:20:34.720
First of all, I want to put up on the screen, we have an organizational flow chart for UC Santa Cruz.
00:20:43.740
These are, and you see some email addresses there as well, but there you see all of the whole leadership at UC Santa Cruz.
00:20:53.480
And these are all people that we should be reaching out to to ask, what are they going to do about this?
00:21:00.080
A PhD candidate has confessed to a highly illegal prescription drug distribution ring targeting minors.
00:21:08.140
What are you going to do about it is the question.
00:21:10.300
But we should start, I think, with the chancellor of the university, who is Cynthia Larive.
00:21:19.560
And we'll put her contact information up there.
00:21:22.720
Now, you can email her, chancellor at ucsc.edu.
00:21:35.060
There's also Peter Beal, who has his pronouns, of course, listed on his profile on the site.
00:21:42.720
He's the vice provost and the dean of graduate studies.
00:21:57.260
So I want you to call and email these two officials at the university and ask them what
00:22:03.680
they are doing to investigate the confessed drug dealer at the university, confessed felon.
00:22:09.360
If they continue to ignore us, next I will find the board of trustees and I will find the
00:22:19.600
And after that, if we still don't get a response, then we're going to show up there with a crowd
00:22:24.880
No, I'll come there personally because you cannot ignore us.
00:22:32.320
If this was anybody else, if this was not a trans person, if this wasn't hormone prescription
00:22:38.040
pills, but some other prescription being distributed as part of this illegal drug dealing ring, we
00:22:45.860
all know the university would have kicked this person out of the school by now.
00:22:49.120
Instead, they want to give them, you know, instead it's, well, we're going to give all,
00:22:57.460
It's just all the, it is a get out of jail free card, literally.
00:23:07.040
So again, what are you going to do about it, university?
00:23:21.460
Daily Beast says, former President Donald Trump is under investigation for several violations
00:23:25.940
of the Espionage Act and illegally keeping top secret government documents when he left
00:23:31.180
the White House last year, according to court documents unsealed Friday afternoon.
00:23:33.960
And the FBI was spurred to move so aggressively and search the former President of Mar-a-Lago
00:23:37.920
Oceanside Estate in Florida because some of the documents they were seeking pertain to
00:23:44.560
This is, of course, by the way, this is not, this is, this is the first time, right, that
00:23:48.520
the intelligence community has told us stories about things related to nuclear weapons in
00:23:53.980
order to justify some outrageous activity that they're engaging in.
00:24:00.780
I mean, I might be able to think of one or two other times maybe.
00:24:06.580
The FBI search warrant lists three federal statutes to justify the search of the Palm
00:24:12.400
That means the Justice Department, in a historic move, is investigating the former president
00:24:15.500
for violating the Espionage Act, mishandling federal records, and falsifying official documents
00:24:20.760
Now, the Espionage Act, totally absurd to use on President Trump.
00:24:27.060
And Trump has repeatedly stated that he declassified all of these documents before bringing them
00:24:34.980
to his house, which is something that he is able to do.
00:24:39.280
I mean, he, that's, that's what you're able to do as, as a president.
00:24:41.920
You can just like wave your hand, essentially, over a box of documents and say, this is declassified.
00:24:50.500
You can declassify anything you want as a president.
00:24:54.680
So this was obviously a trolling attempt, and not trolling in the sense of my favorite
00:24:59.120
pastime, but trolling as in the fishing technique, which is, I guess, my second favorite pastime.
00:25:03.400
This is just throwing some lines in the water, drifting across the lake, and hoping you get a bite.
00:25:14.420
Now, you know, there's a lot of people making predictions about where this goes from here.
00:25:19.760
A lot of, you know, hear a lot of conservatives saying, well, Trump's going to get frog marched.
00:25:24.820
They're going to, you know, and maybe they will do all of that.
00:25:27.320
But they also have to know, obviously, that through this action, they have boosted Trump's
00:25:37.640
2024 chances considerably, and especially in the primaries.
00:25:42.700
Now, how much they're going to help him in the general, I'm not sure.
00:25:45.040
But the fact that they've helped him in the primaries, to put him, you know, he was already
00:25:50.080
at the top of the heap among Republican challengers.
00:25:53.600
But to make that divide even wider, I mean, they've done quite a bit there.
00:26:00.060
If they were to put President Trump in handcuffs and have that image out there, well, then
00:26:07.640
that would just, that would all the more solidify, if he wasn't already solidified, as the almost
00:26:17.960
Which does make you wonder about conspiracy theories.
00:26:21.660
And I've heard others asking this question, like, did they do this to intentionally boost
00:26:33.800
We've been hearing the drumbeat for a long time, and there was even, there was someone
00:26:38.040
today who posted it again, some lib blue check, I don't remember who, who said, you know,
00:26:50.420
They believe that DeSantis is a greater danger to their agenda than Donald Trump is.
00:26:56.420
I think, I think they're right in that assumption.
00:26:59.440
So all I'm saying is that if they wanted to make sure that Trump is not the nominee and
00:27:05.420
not DeSantis, what they did last week would be the, there'd be no better plan than that.
00:27:11.440
That's like the best possible thing they could have done to ensure that Trump is the nominee
00:27:20.500
Did they do this intentionally to boost Trump and drown out DeSantis?
00:27:26.140
And also put DeSantis in a position where he feels like he has to support Trump for president
00:27:37.040
The only reason that I don't, I understand why people have theorized about it.
00:27:41.260
The only reason I don't subscribe to it is that, and maybe I, maybe I underestimate them
00:27:46.840
to my own detriment, but I don't think the regime is smart enough to play chess on that
00:27:53.600
From everything I've seen, they're not quite smart enough for that.
00:27:57.040
Because that would actually be a brilliant chess move.
00:28:02.180
I think it's, it's more likely that they are just, they can't help themselves.
00:28:07.680
I mean, this has been the story with the left and the left's approach to Trump ever since
00:28:18.020
Every, all of the freak outs, all the panicking, the way they constantly talk about him, keep
00:28:25.800
And, but they can't help it because they hate him so much.
00:28:30.880
And they're so emotional that they can't control themselves.
00:28:36.620
Now, we also have to keep in mind, too, that we're talking about bureaucracies.
00:28:43.560
And so there are going to be a lot of different motivations playing into this.
00:28:46.200
So maybe at some level, somewhere, there are some people pulling the strings with, with
00:29:12.360
There's a new study showing how climate change, specifically higher temperatures, is making
00:29:22.720
The study published in a journal Temperature found today's children are 30 percent less
00:29:28.320
aerobically fit than their parents were at their age.
00:29:31.320
Fewer children are reaching the World Health Organization's recommendation of 60 minutes of
00:29:38.100
Now, listen, it has been a lot hotter, hotter, and the weather has been crazy.
00:29:46.000
It's one thing not to go outside, but these kids don't go outside because they can stay
00:29:50.220
inside, be on their phones, play video games, and be social without having to go outside
00:29:58.580
According to the government's own climate change website, climate.gov, you can go there.
00:30:03.120
Temperatures have risen two degrees Fahrenheit since pre-industrial times.
00:30:08.100
So that's if we're going with their data and we're just going to accept it on face value.
00:30:18.440
According to this information, we're about a half a degree hotter, maybe, than we were
00:30:31.980
Turn the temperature down by half a degree and it changes, or turn it up, rather, by half
00:30:43.280
So every time these people talk about climate change, they just ignore the concept of seasons.
00:30:47.080
I mean, the temperature does drop by a lot more than half a degree for kids today because
00:30:54.240
it's not summer temperatures all year long unless you live on the equator.
00:30:59.000
So do kids suddenly go outside and play in the fall, in the spring, in the winter, in the
00:31:10.600
Also, by the way, you can look at obesity rates by state and there is no correlation between
00:31:20.360
West Virginia is one of the fattest states, but it's got a mean annual temperature of 56
00:31:29.360
The temperature is, at least for my taste, the temperature is almost always great.
00:31:34.660
It's a beautiful place, a beautiful state to go and run around outside, and yet it's the
00:31:43.000
Florida is, on average, 20 degrees or more hotter, and yet it's one of the skinniest states.
00:31:51.240
And this becomes even more, you know, this lack of correlation becomes even more apparent
00:31:59.040
Okay, because there are a great many very hot, tropical, you know, climates where people
00:32:12.720
are not only not obese, but oftentimes famished, starving.
00:32:17.800
You know, their ribs are poking out of their bodies.
00:32:31.000
It's how many calories you put in your body versus how many you burn.
00:32:44.000
If you are obese, it is because you are taking in a lot more calories than you're burning.
00:32:52.240
And that's why in third world countries, they don't seem to have the fat gene, surprisingly.
00:33:03.020
And if you don't eat enough, then instead of being overweight, you're going to be very
00:33:14.920
But they're fat because they're eating garbage food.
00:33:20.520
And they're sitting around on their phones all day.
00:33:26.100
Well, I think it has something to do with technology, too.
00:33:30.740
That along with the food, that's the whole story.
00:33:38.060
And kids are sitting around on their phones all day.
00:33:43.200
Doesn't matter how beautiful the temperature is outside.
00:33:50.700
We've gone way beyond mere laziness or anything like that.
00:33:55.160
Many kids today no longer have just the innate desire to go run around outside.
00:34:08.260
Now, I know for my own kids, we don't give them phones.
00:34:18.640
But they still have this youthful, natural energy where they just...
00:34:29.940
It's like 6,000 degrees here all the time with a humidity of 6,000%.
00:34:36.800
We have to tell them to come in so they don't get heat exhaustion.
00:34:48.600
But for a lot of kids, they've become so numb, so sort of dead to the world,
00:34:54.000
that they don't even have the desire to run outside and explore and go into the woods and just whatever kids do.
00:35:01.860
You know, we all tell the stories about when we were kids and you'd go out and, you know,
00:35:05.600
you'd go out at 7 o'clock in the morning, you'd come back, you wouldn't be back until dinner.
00:35:08.740
Well, that's not just a get-off-my-lawn, you know, back-in-my-day kind of rant.
00:35:18.720
It is an observation about a wide-sweeping social change that has happened in this culture.
00:35:29.380
I mean, we still really cannot conceive of what this is going to be like in the future.
00:35:41.540
To have a generation of kids raised on this stuff, raised on screens, utterly dependent on them from toddler on.
00:35:54.700
What kind of world are we living in in 40 years, 50 years?
00:35:56.800
I mean, certainly it's going to be a fat world, even fatter than it is now.
00:35:59.380
But in a lot of ways, that's like the least of our problems.
00:36:06.420
All right, so this is kind of old news, but I've had it earmarked for over a week.
00:36:15.020
It's the kind of thing I just have to comment on.
00:36:17.660
So, all right, we know that ESPN sports commentators have an average IQ somewhere slightly below like a hermit crab.
00:36:24.560
Though perhaps slightly above an oyster, I'll give them that.
00:36:33.340
Yet the most important thing that I'm always reminding people about, the sports commentators, is that they are, with rare exception, embarrassed to be sports commentators.
00:36:42.660
There's nothing at all ignoble or shameful about the profession in and of itself.
00:36:47.460
We have sports commentators here at The Daily Wire.
00:36:51.120
Very talented, intelligent, put together a really good show.
00:36:54.000
There's nothing wrong with talking about sports and that's your job.
00:36:58.240
But the ESPN brand of sports analysts, they take a different approach.
00:37:01.160
They apparently find their vocation to be lacking in importance.
00:37:05.940
And so their egos and delusions of grandeur lead them to conclude that they can't simply talk about sports and leave it at that.
00:37:12.360
They have to have important things to say, right?
00:37:20.360
And it's just a problem to be a thought leader when you don't have any thoughts.
00:37:24.420
And so they attempt to be culturally and politically relevant in ways that strain their poor, tiny brains and lead to extremely embarrassing episodes like this from former NBA player turned NBA commentator Jalen Rose.
00:37:41.160
It was a week or two ago to offer his thoughts on the history of Mount Rushmore.
00:37:46.520
Now, if you at any point in your life have wondered about Jalen Rose's opinions vis-a-vis Mount Rushmore, well, here you go.
00:37:55.040
Why do you think Washington changed their name from Redskins?
00:38:00.700
I do a show that didn't say that word for eight years.
00:38:06.080
And my co-host David Jacobi, we both said they're going to change the name one day.
00:38:19.380
So, I want to continue to challenge myself and to challenge you to do something.
00:38:30.960
That should be offensive to all of us, especially Native Americans, indigenous people, who were the first people here before Christopher Columbus.
00:38:41.280
That land was stolen for them when it was discovered that it contained gold.
00:38:46.720
And 25 years later, to add insult to injury, four American presidents were put on what we call Mount Rushmore.
00:38:58.140
On the top of the dead bodies that is buried right underneath.
00:39:14.960
When we're talking about our favorite rappers, talking about our favorite movies, we're talking about our favorite players.
00:39:20.720
I know you're going to see this video, and I know you're going to take action.
00:39:31.300
And he's sitting there thinking about why he's offended by Mount Rushmore.
00:39:40.580
And, of course, needless to say, this might make it onto the Mount Rushmore of stupid opinions.
00:39:45.260
He begins by asking why the Redskins changed their name.
00:39:50.720
Now, there was a time when a jock, right, a former athlete, would rather drown himself in the nearest river than publicly admit to getting their feelings hurt by a sports mascot.
00:40:07.200
To be an athlete, talk about, well, it's an offensive mascot.
00:40:13.420
You know, there was a time when no man at all, but certainly no athlete, would speak that way.
00:40:19.080
He then claims that the Cleveland Indians is also an offensive name.
00:40:22.900
Yet he, like every other member of the PC brigade, can't begin to explain why.
00:40:27.840
If the term Indian is so insulting, then why do the Indians themselves use it?
00:40:34.720
In fact, I went to the National Congress of American Indians website.
00:40:37.960
The National Congress of American Indians website.
00:40:42.100
And found literally dozens of tribal organizations that all have the word Indian in their names.
00:40:48.420
Dozens of actual groups of Indians calling themselves Indians.
00:40:57.280
Then, of course, he moves on to the topic at hand, talking about Mount Rushmore, why it's offensive.
00:41:00.780
He says it's, you know, hurtful and traumatizing to the indigenous people who Rose says were there first and, you know, had their land stolen.
00:41:10.340
And then face the added indignity of having four presidents carved into the mountain right over top the dead bodies.
00:41:17.320
Now, as to that last claim, I can tell you that Mount Rushmore is carved into granite.
00:41:21.920
So I highly doubt that there were grave sites desecrated.
00:41:26.600
I don't think they were burying people in granite.
00:41:28.900
That would seem like a rather, it's an impractical way of disposing of bodies.
00:41:40.800
No, the Black Hills, where the monument is located, have changed hands many times over the centuries.
00:41:47.840
The Lakota most recently had it, before the Americans had it.
00:41:57.200
Different groups of people fighting and killing over that piece of land.
00:42:01.160
The, quote, indigenous people were not a monolith.
00:42:05.320
They were not a united people or culture or nation.
00:42:08.200
It doesn't even make any sense to talk about them in that way.
00:42:13.340
It's not, that's not the, they all just happened to live on this continent.
00:42:15.820
And they were fighting and killing each other over the land for thousands of years.
00:42:25.500
They were warring factions who slaughtered each other mercilessly.
00:42:30.360
The Americans couldn't steal the Black Hills from the Lakota for the same reason that, you know,
00:42:34.180
you couldn't be accused of stealing a car from a thief who just stole it from somebody else.
00:42:41.380
I mean, imagine you had a car that is just perpetually stolen so often that we don't even know who had it first now.
00:42:56.460
But if you run up and take it from the person who most recently stole it,
00:43:00.240
they can't claim that they, what, are they going to go to the police?
00:43:09.020
This is why this sort of thing really annoys me.
00:43:10.900
is that we have this guy, Jalen Rose, plays a game for a living,
00:43:16.840
flippantly sort of dismissing the careers and contributions of Theodore Roosevelt,
00:43:20.800
Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson.
00:43:23.400
He's offended by their presence on the monument.
00:43:27.820
Each of those men, in any random six-month period of their adult lives,
00:43:32.940
accomplished more and had a greater and more positive impact on the world
00:43:36.740
than Jalen Rose has ever had or ever will have.
00:43:39.840
Jalen Rose could live 50 lifetimes and not achieve what one of those men did in six months.
00:43:51.820
When you have a life like that, and you contribute to that extent to civilization,
00:44:05.060
And they deserve it more than any Indian tribal chief,
00:44:07.380
as they all contributed far more to the society we currently live in.
00:44:11.680
And they helped to build our civilization in a way that no tribal leader ever did.
00:44:22.320
They all have had a greater impact on the world than I have ever had or ever will have also.
00:44:27.860
Okay, so I'm admitting that this is a bar that's really hard for anyone to get over.
00:44:31.680
So it's not really an insult when I say, well, you don't stack up to these guys.
00:44:38.340
But that's why none of us end up on the sides of mountains.
00:44:52.060
Like there's a reason we still talk about them.
00:44:53.960
To live and die and 100 years later, 150 years later, 200 years later, people are still talking about you and learning about you.
00:45:03.600
That means that you lived in a way that far surpasses most people.
00:45:12.260
Most of us will live and die and nobody will ever talk about us again.
00:45:15.980
Once our immediate family has gone along with us and they go to the grave, no one will ever say our names ever again.
00:45:21.260
It's a really startling and depressing thing to think about, but it's true.
00:45:24.700
For the vast majority, we will die and then our families will die.
00:45:28.320
And our names will never be uttered again on earth.
00:45:38.780
And you stack it up against the people that have the monuments and they get the cities and everything named after them.
00:45:43.560
That's because of the greatness of those people.
00:45:47.160
And we should admire greatness rather than being offended by it.
00:45:54.700
Daily cancellations are the law and order of the day.
00:46:04.960
Regardless of what the administration defines as a recession, Americans are certainly worried.
00:46:10.200
Food and gas prices are higher than I've ever seen them in my lifetime,
00:46:13.120
which is why I'm so grateful for my favorite meat delivery service, Good Ranchers.

00:47:00.980
Well, we only had one show last week, as you know.
00:47:04.560
Our most recent video was something we posted on Thursday when I was still besieged by laryngitis.
00:47:12.980
I recorded a short video message about my battle with the illness using subtitles and a robot Stephen Hawking voice.
00:47:21.960
And by the way, that video did like way better than any actual full show that we do, which is a little bit depressing.
00:47:28.640
But at least it made it worth the effort because you have no idea the physical pain but also shame I had to endure to bring you that video.
00:47:39.200
I mean, I had to come here to this place unable to speak.
00:47:43.140
And I was literally discriminated against and mocked for my disability.
00:47:50.340
My own producer, Sean, kept saying things to me that he knew would annoy me, but I couldn't respond to.
00:48:00.960
Couldn't hit him because that would be an HR violation, not to mention a hate crime.
00:48:04.880
And then, I mean, just even our makeup artist, Cherokee, she joined in.
00:48:19.780
Did there be people, like, sticking their legs out and tripping me, laughing, stealing my walking cane?
00:48:37.380
But owning it is too much responsibility, so I'd rather just complain.
00:48:41.300
Anyway, let's read some of the comments from the Sweet Baby Gang on that video,
00:48:45.040
because they were much more supportive of my plight than anyone in this building was.
00:48:52.220
So, Salvis says, I don't even have words for how inspiring this was.
00:48:58.600
Emily says, I, too, have survived laryngitis twice in one year, actually, while deployed.
00:49:03.720
I was mocked and ridiculed, called mini-mouse, likened to the mice of Cinderella, a lot of mice
00:49:08.900
references, until now I've not had the courage to tell my tale.
00:49:12.100
Thank you, Matt Walsh, for inspiring me to speak my truth.
00:49:15.040
Sarah says, as a recent laryngitis survivor myself, this video made me feel seen.
00:49:19.680
I've always been so oppressed for it, as people didn't change the way they lived their lives
00:49:25.460
I mean, how hard is it to start writing everything down on pen and paper so I'm not so marginalized?
00:49:29.660
Magic Robot says, our hearts are with you, Mr. Walsh.
00:49:32.520
Thank God there's finally someone to speak for the silent struggle.
00:49:37.300
Dan says, your emotional labor is seen and heard, Matt.
00:49:42.760
Sour Sweet Tooth says, Matt seems to forget that he has a form of communication even more
00:49:48.720
powerful than his voice at his disposal, dance.
00:49:51.260
He's proven his ability to communicate complex ideas and opinions through interpretive dance,
00:49:54.640
so there's little reason for episodes to be canceled this week.
00:49:57.340
His opening monologue, the five headlines, responses to comments, and even the daily
00:50:00.140
cancellation could all be done effectively, dare I say masterfully, through dance routines,
00:50:04.540
and the sweet babies would witness and understand.
00:50:06.080
Okay, we were on a good roll with all the supportive comments, because this is all you're supposed
00:50:10.000
When someone is going through something and they're disabled, all you're supposed to do
00:50:15.720
is tell them that they're a hero and that what they're going through is the worst thing
00:50:21.260
What you don't do is, you don't give advice or tell me that I should dance for you, like
00:50:30.200
some sort of wind-up monkey dancing for your amusement.
00:50:35.020
Is that what you think of the voice-depleted community?
00:50:40.240
YMill says, Matt, what's the status on the walrus?
00:50:42.720
Did you come back to your studio after your week of desperate illness to find it waiting
00:50:48.160
That'd be a nice thing for someone I've thought about.
00:50:49.600
After what I went through for that entire week and all of the abuse, it could have all
00:50:58.480
gone away if I had just walked in here and seen my walrus just sitting there waiting for
00:51:10.880
Are you still giving your money to woke razor companies that hate your values, see masculinity
00:51:14.800
as toxic, and think you should teach your daughter to shave her beard?
00:51:19.040
Jeremy's razors are 100% real and 100% woke free.
00:51:22.680
The premium matte tungsten handle has more heft than the left.
00:51:27.260
The razor head pivots without caving and has six blades that are sharper than truth.
00:51:35.380
Those other razor companies keep virtue signaling to the totalitarian left and using your money
00:51:41.240
When you buy Jeremy's razors, you aren't just making Jeremy richer.
00:51:44.040
You're making the woke left poorer, which is more important.
00:51:46.420
75,000 people have already made the switch visit.
00:51:48.360
I hate harrys.com to get your founder series shave kit today.
00:51:58.320
Vice President Kamala Harris is known for sputtering and babbling indecipherably like a very large infant,
00:52:09.060
but amid her stammerings, she'll sometimes say things which warrant further consideration,
00:52:14.020
not because they're intelligent, but because they're especially stupid and harmful and usually malevolent.
00:52:18.060
She manages to sneak in these sorts of toxic morsels unnoticed at times because her critics are too stunned
00:52:23.480
by the general inanity of her comments to bother parsing through the finer details.
00:52:28.360
I think this happened this weekend when another classic Kamala-ism went viral.
00:52:32.500
Here she is speaking at something called the Oakland Generation Fund event.
00:52:36.760
So when we talk about equality, well, that's a good goal.
00:52:43.900
But let us not presume that because everyone should be treated equal that they start out on equal footing.
00:52:50.140
So equity, as a concept says, recognize that everyone has the same capacity,
00:52:59.480
but in order for them to have equal opportunity to reach that capacity,
00:53:04.900
we must pay attention to this issue of equity if we are to expect and allow people to compete on equal footing.
00:53:15.040
So equity says that we must pay attention to the issue of equity,
00:53:18.860
a perfectly circular and meaningless statement.
00:53:22.060
But buried within this mangled jumble of words is a relatively accurate,
00:53:26.680
therefore horrifying description of, as she says, the concept of equity.
00:53:32.060
And the concept of equity really matters because though it's malignant and insane,
00:53:37.020
we happen to live in a society now formally structured around it.
00:53:40.860
So Harris says that according to the doctrine of equity,
00:53:46.000
but we don't end up in the same place or achieve the same things.
00:53:53.640
but you can't get there until first you create equity.
00:53:57.120
Now when she says capacity, it's clear from context that she means potential.
00:54:01.460
She's talking about reaching our full capacity, reaching our full potential.
00:54:05.140
So we all have the same inherent potential, she says,
00:54:08.140
and if we don't all arrive at the same finish line at the same time,
00:54:13.280
That is a lack of equality at the starting point.
00:54:16.920
So she envisions a world where as long as the starting line is the same for everyone,
00:54:22.340
everybody will run through the tape at the exact same moment
00:54:24.940
and hoist the first place trophy all together in unison.
00:54:27.760
Because that's how races work, obviously, right?
00:54:31.680
then there's no reason why anyone would get to the finish line first.
00:54:38.740
We do not all have the same potential or the same capacity.
00:54:44.620
I was never going to play basketball like LeBron James
00:54:53.720
much less the same as, Isaac Newton or Leonardo da Vinci,
00:55:02.060
you could take literally every environmental advantage away from me.
00:55:09.420
and there's virtually zero chance that I would end up living under a box on the street
00:55:16.040
My inherent potential for that fate is about as low as my potential
00:55:27.340
we're talking about what you're capable of achieving,
00:55:31.320
what you can build with your basic raw material,
00:55:35.000
your personality, your strengths, your weaknesses, your intellect,
00:55:39.380
your drive, your physical stature, your virtue, your vices, everything.
00:55:44.200
Now, environment may play a role in forming some of this,
00:55:55.740
then she must believe that even in spite of the differences
00:55:59.040
in a person's intellect, personality, ambition, etc.,
00:56:14.420
Now, it's not hard to see why the powers that be
00:56:20.720
for chopping down all the stocks that have grown too tall.
00:56:25.560
by kneecapping anyone who enjoys too much prosperity.
00:56:28.420
And as they go all Tonya Harding on the successful ones,
00:56:30.900
they can justify it by claiming that these people
00:56:32.840
only got to this point because of unfair systemic advantages.
00:56:38.420
Certainly not because they're smarter or better than anybody else.
00:56:40.940
That, of course, is one of the most important equity tenets, by the way.
00:57:06.740
like we should do with the men on Mount Rushmore,
00:57:11.580
which I guess you can't really do with those men in particular
00:57:27.700
and believes that he should have all the same things.
00:57:51.520
Equity not only makes people resentful and suspicious,
