Today on The Matt Walsh Show, we know that children's hospitals across the country are
00:00:03.260
drugging and mutilating kids, and now we're starting to see the lengths they'll go to cover
00:00:07.280
up this fact. Also, Lizzo wins big at the VMAs and uses the opportunity to complain about her
00:00:11.920
oppression. The geniuses in Los Angeles have invented a new way to destroy their city,
00:00:16.100
require expensive hotels to house the homeless. Apple TV has a new show coming out that will make
00:00:20.740
you beg for the sweet release of death. Heterosexuals marked for straight pride in
00:00:24.460
California, and a TikToker explains why frolicking in the rain is, you guessed it,
00:00:29.240
racist. All of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:40.920
You've heard me talk a lot on this show about how the left is coming for your kids through the public
00:00:45.280
school system, through mainstream kids' content, and so many other ways. As a parent, you may be
00:00:49.720
doing everything you can to protect your child from the left's not-so-secret agenda, but if you
00:00:54.200

00:00:59.200
happen to you, then the state will intervene. If you're watching this show, I'll wager a bet

00:01:47.160
Well, the good news is that the bad guys are up against the ropes. They're bruised,
00:01:53.320
they're exposed, they're nervous, they're desperate, they're flailing, they're losing.
00:01:57.980
The bad news is that they own everything and they set the rules everywhere and they have most of the
00:02:02.520
power but no soul to go along with it. And so they can do almost anything and are willing to do
00:02:07.760
literally anything to punish those who oppose them and win back whatever ground they've lost.
00:02:13.100
This is the volatile situation we find ourselves in. And here's the latest from that front. So last
00:02:18.280
week we played for you the audio obtained by Shia Raichuk, who's the woman who runs the Libs of
00:02:22.900
TikTok account, when she called the Children's National Hospital in D.C. posing as a mother
00:02:27.980
inquiring about obtaining a gender-affirming hysterectomy, quote unquote, for her 16-year-old
00:02:33.880
daughter. Now she was told in no uncertain terms that the hospital will in fact perform that
00:02:38.880
particular procedure on a child that age. So you may recall this footage, we'll play again
00:02:44.640
a little piece of this exchange to refresh your memories. Here it is.
00:02:50.660
Thank you for calling to the National Hospital. Your call may be reported for quality assurance.
00:02:55.900
I was calling for information about gender-affirming hysterectomies.
00:03:04.080
I've been in touch with quite a few hospitals, and a lot of them, well, they said they won't
00:03:09.960
do it for my 16-year-old. And then I was told that this hospital might, and I also saw it
00:03:15.780
on your website. So if you guys do do it for a 16-year-old, I would be happy for, you know,
00:03:23.560
to come for a consultation or whatever it takes.
00:03:26.740
Let me get you over to the operator, and I hate to transfer you.
00:03:31.860
I just, I just need to want to know if, if you guys do service that age, you know, before
00:03:38.400
obviously, before coming, you know, coming all the way for an in-person consult and going
00:03:45.840
Well, yeah, it depends. Like, each department's different. Some, some departments cut off at
00:03:56.400
Well, that was the first hospital employee who unambiguously confirmed that the hospital
00:04:00.400
will rip the uterus out of a gender-confused child for a sizable fee, of course. Shia was
00:04:07.200
then transferred to a second employee who once again confirmed it, but that's not the
00:04:11.740
only confirmation she received. The hospital's own website stated in no uncertain terms that
00:04:18.720
these hysterectomies are performed on minors. So to review, that's two people at the hospital
00:04:23.520
and the website all saying this. Now, if you just woke up from a decade-long coma and were
00:04:30.200
encountering this story, you'd be very confused and horrified and probably wish that you didn't
00:04:35.380
wake up. But, you know, you would probably think that the scandal here, the massive earth-shattering
00:04:40.600
scandal, is that a hospital, by its own testimony, is cutting the reproductive organs out of healthy
00:04:47.380
young girls. This is sadism and brutality that would make Yosef Mengele cringe. And yet it's
00:04:53.900
happening right here in the United States, in our nation's capital in the US. But if you've been
00:04:58.600
awake and semi-conscious, at least, over the last few years, you know that the scandal is never the
00:05:04.540
evil itself. That's never the scandal. But rather, the fact that the evil was exposed. David Daleiden
00:05:11.280
and the Center for Medical Progress learned this the hard way when they went undercover a few years
00:05:16.060
ago to reveal Planned Parenthood's business of selling the body parts of aborted children.
00:05:21.280
The media, as you recall, showed absolutely no interest in the crimes that were actually captured
00:05:26.200
on tape. Instead, they focused all of their wrath on the man who captured them. Like, all they cared
00:05:31.740
about is, well, not what was revealed in the tape. They want to know, how did you reveal it? That's the
00:05:36.840
real story. A similar thing is happening now. The media circled the wagons around Children's National
00:05:45.740
Hospital, just as it had around Boston Children's, which had information on its website to go along
00:05:51.060
with a lengthy series of videos, all confirming that it performs various gender-affirming quote-unquote
00:05:56.880
procedures on children. And once this was exposed, that information was scrubbed, you know, from all
00:06:02.740
the places, the websites and everything. And the media dutifully pretended that it never existed.
00:06:08.180
The same is the case here. The Washington Post, shortly after this recording was released,
00:06:13.180
published a lengthy article accusing her of sending violent mobs after the hospital and also
00:06:19.200
accusing her of misinformation for simply reporting what the hospital itself explicitly said.
00:06:26.240
WAPO reports in their article, quote, Children's National Hospital has been inundated
00:06:30.980
with threatening emails and phone calls after an influential right-wing Twitter account
00:06:35.020
published a recording that falsely suggested that the hospital's performing hysterectomies on
00:06:40.720
transgender children, a hospital spokeswoman said. The torrent of harassment was accompanied by
00:06:46.520
social media posts suggesting that children's be bombed and its doctors be placed in a woodshipper.
00:06:52.360
The recording, made by Libs of TikTok founder Shia Rychik, features two telephone operators at the
00:06:57.180
renowned DC medical facility stating, in response to Rychik's questions, that a 16-year-old trans boy
00:07:02.640
would be eligible for a hysterectomy at that hospital's development clinic, gender development
00:07:06.860
clinic. Children's has not disputed the authenticity of the recording, but said the employees provided
00:07:11.380
inaccurate information. Quote, none of the people who were secretly recorded by this activist group
00:07:17.900
deliver care to our patients, hospital spokeswoman Ariana Amadi Perez said. We do not and have never
00:07:24.320
perform gender-affirming hysterectomies for anyone under the age of 18. Now, once again, the spin from
00:07:32.720
the hospital's public relations department is being reported as absolute fact, as if it's inconceivable
00:07:38.600
that a PR department could maybe lie or deflect. The Washington Post is not at all curious about the fact
00:07:48.180
that two hospital employees and the website all said these procedures are done. The hospital's allowed
00:07:55.660
to rewrite history out in the open. And we're supposed to pretend that, you know, we don't notice.
00:08:01.580
As for Libs of TikTok, the account was summarily suspended from Twitter for quote-unquote hateful
00:08:06.640
conduct, though no offending tweet or specific rule violation has been given. Now, we're accustomed to
00:08:13.660
these kinds of manipulations from big tech and the media, but that shouldn't prevent us from just
00:08:18.880
appreciating how egregious and evil this is. Shia Rychik has been branded a peddler of misinformation
00:08:27.620
and kicked off of a major social media platform simply for accurately reporting exactly what a hospital
00:08:34.240
said word for word. Not even reporting it, just showing us, letting us hear the recording for ourselves.
00:08:43.660
The system would probably prefer not to be so blatant and out in the open when it does this
00:08:48.860
sort of thing, but it has decided that it has no choice. People are beginning to see just how hideous
00:08:53.680
and brutal and dangerous the trans agenda is, but they can't be allowed to see it.
00:08:59.420
The truth must be concealed, no matter the cost. And whether we like it or not, and I certainly don't
00:09:06.260
like it, it is still the case that children's hospitals are very much a part of this conspiracy.
00:09:13.660
Children's hospitals across the country are not only drugging and mutilating kids,
00:09:18.060
that's a fact, but it's another fact that they're conspiring to conceal that from us now.
00:09:25.600
How could you say this about children's hospitals? I don't know, because it's what's happening?
00:09:38.220
A University of Washington study, in partnership with Seattle Children's Hospital,
00:09:42.620
claimed that gender-affirming care via puberty blockers leads to positive mental health outcomes
00:09:47.520
for transgender teen patients. That characterization, however, was false, forcing substantial edits to
00:09:54.300
the materials used to promote the study and prompting UW to cease promoting the research.
00:09:59.140
Despite all that, the UW communications staff chose not to proactively respond to,
00:10:04.900
quote, some pretty concerning claims about the study,
00:10:07.360
because it had already received glowing media coverage, according to emails exclusively obtained
00:10:15.060
In fact, the UW medicine communications staff never reached out to media outlets that offered
00:10:19.480
incorrect coverage based on the faulty press materials.
00:10:23.060
Now, worse than not reaching out, they actively covered up the truth.
00:10:28.080
Fourth-year UW medicine student Aaron Collin and UW epidemiology PhD candidate Diana Tordoff
00:10:34.200
tracked the mental health of 104 transgender patients aged 13 to 20 for a year.
00:10:40.180
The patients received gender-affirming care, which the researcher defined as
00:10:43.900
taking either luproloid, testosterone, or estradiol, using the data collected from patient experiences.
00:10:50.780
The researchers and UW medicine claimed in a press release
00:10:54.880
that gender-affirming care dramatically reduces depression, calling it life-saving care.
00:11:00.820
The study was published in JAMA Open Network in a March 11th press release titled,
00:11:05.720
Gender-affirming care dramatically reduces depression for transgender teens, study finds.
00:11:09.780
UW medicine claimed that researchers recently found that gender-affirming care for transgender
00:11:14.700
and non-binary adolescents cause rates of depression to plummet.
00:11:22.200
The study actually showed no improvements in mental health for the patients receiving this form of care.
00:11:30.680
Now, be that as it may, the study, while the version of the study prepared for press releases,
00:11:36.260
received lots of, as it said, glowing coverage.
00:11:41.840
Finally, we have a study confirming what we've been claiming for years.
00:11:52.040
A journalist named Jesse Singal noticed some discrepancies between the PR materials about the study and the study itself
00:11:58.880
and reached out to one of the study's authors for more information.
00:12:01.660
But the study's author stopped responding once Singal asked to see the actual raw data from the study.
00:12:08.400
That's when they stopped and didn't say anything else.
00:12:10.500
He contacted UW Medicine and was stonewalled there, too.
00:12:15.540
Eventually, he wrote a report detailing his concerns, which led to lots of frantic scheming by officials at UW Medicine and Seattle Children's.
00:12:23.540
And we know about that because now we have the internal emails between those institutions.
00:12:30.660
Internal emails between UW Medicine and Seattle Children's acknowledge the seriousness of the allegations.
00:12:35.420
It was so concerning that Laura East, Department of Epidemiology spokesperson, wrote in an email that she wouldn't promote the study.
00:12:43.720
Now, even after acknowledging all of this privately, that the claims were concerning,
00:13:09.820
and they went on, and there are more emails back and forth, acknowledging that what was claimed publicly does not match up with what the study actually says.
00:13:22.220
And despite them all agreeing to that privately, the decision was made between Laura East and other officials not to publicly correct the record.
00:13:31.640
This is an explicit agreement they made in their emails back and forth.
00:13:36.420
We are not going to reach out to the media and tell them that what they're saying about the study is wrong.
00:13:43.660
And they also said they're not going to respond to any of the outlets that had reached out to them.
00:13:48.040
And they felt comfortable taking that position because only conservative outlets had shown any interest in getting to the truth about the study.
00:13:54.400
Now, every other media outlet took the study, the PR version of it, like what was presented to them in the press release, and just put it in the headlines, and that was it.
00:14:05.240
They just went with what they were told by the PR departments.
00:14:11.840
Whatever the PR department tells them, that's the story.
00:14:17.440
The only outlets that had any interest in knowing about the actual information were conservative outlets.
00:14:28.060
And you can tell in the emails back and forth between the PR communications teams at these hospitals that they're very aware of that.
00:14:35.220
They're very cognizant of the fact that it's only conservative outlets that are reaching out.
00:14:39.420
And so they feel comfortable just ignoring them.
00:14:42.560
Now, finally, they did make corrections to the study, but they did so quietly.
00:14:51.880
They already got the headlines they wanted, and that's all that matters to them.
00:14:56.940
Now, the fact remains that no credible long-term study has ever confirmed the wild claims the left makes about the benefits of gender-affirming care for kids.
00:15:14.060
So they have to lie about the studies they do have.
00:15:17.440
But they also realize that this lack of scientific evidentiary basis for what they're doing to kids is a problem.
00:15:23.480
Not a moral problem, as they see it, as their soulless demons who couldn't care less about the morality of it.
00:15:32.040
Eventually, they will simply fabricate an entire study out of whole cloth.
00:15:38.320
Eventually, we're going to hear about a long-term study done over years with thousands of patients that confirms beyond a shadow of a doubt that these procedures, drugging and mutilating kids, is really good for them.
00:15:53.940
Then you look at the study, and you see that the claims don't match up with what the study actually says.
00:15:58.560
Eventually, they're going to just make up a study so that the claims do match up with what the study says.
00:16:06.160
They will get the evidence they need one way or another.
00:16:10.460
And they know they can get away with something like that because the entire system has their back.
00:16:14.740
And anyone who opposes or exposes them is simply shamed and silenced.
00:16:31.340
You know, some states have laws now that say as early as the 2030 model year, new vehicles will have to be electric in order to be registered.
00:16:40.060
Cars with internal combustion engines will only be able to get license plates if they were built before the end of the 2020s,
00:16:46.100
which means that people are going to keep repairing and driving their old cars for generations.
00:16:50.520
It also means you better go to rockauto.com right now and order all the parts to properly maintain and repair your car.
00:16:57.100
Your great-grandkids might be driving that car someday.
00:17:00.060

00:17:37.880
All right, well, we have to start here, obviously, with the biggest news, that the VMAs were last night.
00:17:47.060
Nobody understands, but they keep on having the VMAs.
00:17:53.620
My good friend Lizzo, obviously a big fan of hers, as you know.
00:17:57.060
First of all, she dazzled on the red carpet in this outfit.
00:18:04.920
She looks like a, you know, like a giant trash bag.
00:18:14.400
It's the most glamorous trash bag I have ever seen in my life, hands down.
00:18:18.260
Either that or she looks like some sort of sea creature, like maybe Ursula from Little Mermaid.
00:18:26.120
Or maybe more like a slightly misshapen lava cake.
00:18:31.300
Again, I say all that in as positive a way as you possibly can.
00:18:43.660
She had changed her outfit, maybe for the best.
00:18:54.120
I don't know what music video for good means, but I do know what your vote means.
00:19:07.420
It means everything to making a change in this country.
00:19:13.560
So remember when you're voting for your favorite artists, vote to change some of these laws that are oppressing us.
00:19:26.040
I don't know if someone should probably have told her that before she went on.
00:19:29.960
Okay, I'm actually confused by a few things here.
00:19:34.420
First of all, she seems to indicate that she won for best music video for the song Good.
00:19:42.660
She said she doesn't know what best music video for good means.
00:19:47.660
Which leads me to believe that she won best music video, but the music video doesn't exist.
00:19:56.200
And then she goes on to say that, well, when you're voting for your favorite artists, remember to vote to change the laws.
00:20:10.360
But even if it is, what relation does that have to the laws?
00:20:13.700
Does she think that when you vote for who your favorite artist is of the VMAs, that somehow that has some kind of legal impact?
00:20:27.740
I'm very much confused by what she's saying there.
00:20:30.120
All I know is that what we got there at the end is that, well, we got to change the laws that are oppressing us.
00:20:40.860
She thinks that by voting for the VMAs, which I don't even think you vote for, you can change the law.
00:20:46.660
But all she knows is that there are laws oppressing us.
00:20:50.300
And of course, when she says us, she doesn't mean me as a white guy.
00:20:58.740
But she can't stipulate or specify what laws she's talking about that are oppressing her because, and there's a reason for that, because there are no laws at all oppressing her.
00:21:11.960
She is a member of several different privileged classes, and so there are no laws oppressing her whatsoever.
00:21:20.500
And in fact, even some of the laws that ostensibly apply to everyone and restrict all of our behavior, she gets to effectively be exempt from.
00:21:35.720
But I do appreciate it all the same because it's always a clarifying moment, and she's obviously not the first one.
00:21:42.380
But it's always a clarifying moment when you get some wealthy celebrity at an award show wearing an outfit that costs more than most people's cars, you know, up at the award show talking about how they're oppressed.
00:21:59.120
Well, if this is what oppression looks like to you, then words cannot describe how blessed your life is.
00:22:08.040
All right, let's move to this report from the Daily Wire.
00:22:13.460
Britney, so we've got fake heroism from a celebrity there, pretending to be heroic, speaking out against oppression, but she can't, but there is no oppression.
00:22:26.580
It's just that she's exempt from almost all of it.
00:22:30.700
Let's get to some real courage from a celebrity.
00:22:33.920
Britney Aldean, the wife of country music star Jason Aldean, is fighting back after receiving attacks from liberal country singers over an Instagram post, criticizing the transgender movement's focus on children.
00:22:45.640
Though most celebrities are reluctant to express any sort of right-wing views, Britney, 34, and her husband have become increasingly vocal about being conservative and supporters of former President Donald Trump.
00:22:56.420
I really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase.
00:23:10.080
And this is, by the way, a sentiment that is very common.
00:23:14.100
You hear this from people all the time, from adults, especially from women, because it's pretty common to go through a so-called tomboy phase, a little bit more of a masculine phase.
00:23:27.400
Like, thank God this stuff basically didn't exist when I was a kid.
00:23:31.200
Because I would be chopped into pieces right now.
00:23:38.960
It's the kind of thing normal people say all the time.
00:23:41.080
When they look at the gender madness in our country, they look and they say,
00:23:44.340
well, thank God this didn't exist when I was a kid.
00:23:47.480
But, you know, if you're in the public eye, you're not allowed to say normal things, especially not on this subject.
00:23:54.120
And so there were a lot of supportive comments, but not from other people in the country music world.
00:24:07.120
I think there's been a few country stars that have come out in support of her.
00:24:14.020
So, some in country music attacked Britney for the comments and called her names.
00:24:18.880
The voice winner and country star Cassidy Pope wrote via Twitter,
00:24:23.060
you'd think celebs with beauty brands would see the positive in including LGBTQ plus people in their messaging.
00:24:29.900
But instead, here we are hearing someone compare their tomboy phase to someone wanting to transition.
00:24:36.280
And there were more, there's more criticism like that.
00:24:40.620
But Britney Aldean didn't back down, posting a lengthy response of her own online.
00:24:44.740
She says, advocating for the genital mutilation of children under the disguise of love and calling it gender-affirming care is one of the worst evils.
00:24:52.380
She says, I will always support my children and do what I can to protect their innocence.
00:24:56.920
She says, some parents want to be accepted by society so badly that they're willing to make life-altering decisions for their children
00:25:02.960
who aren't old enough to fully comprehend the consequences of those actions.
00:25:06.800
Love is protecting your child until they're mature enough as an adult to make their own life decisions.
00:25:11.620
Thankful my parents allowed me to go through my tomboy phase without changing my gender.
00:25:19.800
Well, obviously, she couldn't be more correct about all of that.
00:25:23.500
And you think about where we are as a society, that it actually takes courage.
00:25:29.840
All she's saying is, don't chop the body parts off of healthy children.
00:25:47.500
And yet, a message like that actually takes a significant amount of courage for someone in her position to say.
00:25:55.780
Which is why it's important, you know, I always, the celebrities that, people with platforms who say something correct,
00:26:04.820
and then they get some backlash and immediately back down.
00:26:08.420
I'm always quick to castigate those cowards, and deservedly so.
00:26:14.200
But the very few who say the correct and truthful and right and important thing, but then stick by it,
00:26:20.040
I think we should also support them and give them some credit.
00:26:23.780
We need people in the mainstream to start speaking out against this.
00:26:31.360
Someone like me, you know, I'm a conservative commentator.
00:26:36.300
Now, I like to think there's some good that can be done by me speaking out against these things,
00:26:43.860
But I also realize that it just goes with the territory, do what I do for a living,
00:26:48.460
that the impact you can have is, you know, you're somewhat handicapped going into any kind of fight
00:26:54.980
because you're, well, you're seen as a political figure.
00:26:59.160
And so, of course, you're going to talk about those things.
00:27:00.740
It's important for us to continue to, those of us who live in this world, to continue talking about it.
00:27:07.440
But what we need are people who are not seen primarily as political opinion people to speak out.
00:27:16.580
And they should be because we know that almost everyone, almost everyone across the spectrum,
00:27:24.340
They hear about hospitals who profess themselves that they do gender-affirming hysterectomies.
00:27:30.940
They hear about that, and almost everyone knows that it is horrifying and insane.
00:27:39.200
And one of the most frustrating things and tragic things and disgraceful things
00:27:44.620
is that if everyone who recognized how horrifying this is,
00:27:52.540
all the people who recognize it, if they all would just simply say so,
00:27:56.720
if everyone would speak up, everyone who knows the truth, which is almost everyone,
00:28:02.560
if they would all simply say so, most of this stuff would go away.
00:28:07.980
Because at a certain point, even though the left owns all the systems and the institutions,
00:28:11.480
at a certain point, the public pressure becomes too much.
00:28:19.180
Axios has a report about another utopian city of the future.
00:28:22.920
And I bring this up for a reason, which I'll get to in a second.
00:28:24.840
But you remember the line in Saudi Arabia that we talked about a couple weeks ago?
00:28:29.540
That's the utopian futuristic city concept where everybody will live inside a giant wall
00:28:37.360
Because we know the libs, like, they don't want to build a wall on the southern border,
00:28:44.400
Billionaire Mark Lohr is fleshing out his plan to build a utopian city called Telosa
00:28:54.660
There are about a dozen projects worldwide to create sustainable, hyper-modern cities from scratch.
00:29:01.500
the proposals themselves hint at what cities of the future might look like.
00:29:05.340
Telosa is set to be built on 150,000 acres in either Nevada, Utah, or Arizona.
00:29:10.780
And 50,000 diverse people, is what they're saying.
00:29:14.500
Diverse people will call it home by 2030, according to newly released details
00:29:17.900
from Laura, a serial entrepreneur who sold Jet.com to Walmart for $3.3 billion.
00:29:23.240
So there's going to be a lot of diverse people, and it's going to be sustainable,
00:29:28.880
and all these great things will be very futuristic, whatever.
00:29:34.900
One of the many reasons why these utopian city ideas don't work and can't work,
00:29:40.220
because if you look at the pictures from the speculation about the artist rendition
00:29:46.520
of what this might look like, what do you always see?
00:29:49.500
These immaculate cities, clean, everything is peaceful, everyone's walking around smiling.
00:30:00.580
Yeah, you could build an immaculate, peaceful, clean city if nobody lives in it.
00:30:05.520
But once you start introducing people, then you have to take human nature into account.
00:30:16.300
Because even if they build these futuristic, wonderful cities,
00:30:19.580
they're going to put people in them, and then they're going to run the cities
00:30:27.160
Not enforcing the law, not doing anything about homelessness.
00:30:30.380
You know, people are doing drugs, laying all over the street doing drugs and having overdoses.
00:30:37.120
So you're going to have a really nice futuristic city that is just covered in trash and filth
00:30:41.680
and wracked by crime, because they do not account for human nature.
00:30:48.020
One of the ways we know they don't account for human nature,
00:30:49.960
aside from just looking at the state of any city in the country,
00:30:52.800
another way we know is because these are the same people coming up with ideas like this.
00:31:00.380
Where they've decided they want to take homeless people and move them into hotels.
00:31:08.140
Because they look at homeless people and they think,
00:31:10.800
well, the problem here is that the people don't have homes.
00:31:13.820
And so we could solve the problem by just putting them in a building.
00:31:19.840
This is, you know, because this is how you think if you're a leftist or if you're a child.
00:31:24.980
I can remember having this conversation with my own kids when they were five years old.
00:31:28.180
And they would see homeless people and say, Daddy, if they're homeless, why don't we just give them homes?
00:31:34.660
And that's a very good question for a five-year-old.
00:31:38.460
But if you're an adult, you should realize that the homeless problem is not, you know,
00:31:43.240
it's not simply a problem that they don't have homes.
00:31:50.520
Like, there's a reason why these people don't have homes.
00:31:55.720
But tell that to the people that are proposing this law.
00:31:57.920
Let's watch a little bit of the CNN report here.
00:32:00.200
In Los Angeles County, more than 60,000 people are homeless on the average night.
00:32:08.300
And more than 20,000 hotel rooms lie empty on the average night.
00:32:24.060
By no means do we think this solves the homelessness crisis.
00:32:30.600
So the union he leads, which reps hotel workers,
00:32:34.100
gathered enough signatures and Angelenos will vote on a bill that would force
00:32:38.160
every hotel in town to report vacancies at 2 p.m. every day,
00:32:43.820
then welcome homeless people into those vacant rooms.
00:32:48.740
Honestly, would you check into a hotel knowing that the chance of your neighbor
00:32:57.920
Manoj Patel voluntarily rents some rooms to homeless people who are vetted and paid for
00:33:04.780
But he's against this bill that would make that mandatory.
00:33:12.240
Number two, we have to think of the safety of our staff.
00:33:15.540
And number three, we're not professionally or any otherwise equipped
00:33:19.480
with any of the supporting mechanism that the homeless guest would require.
00:33:26.020
What services would be provided remains unclear.
00:33:29.160
Also unclear, the funding and hotels would be paid fair market rate.
00:33:37.860
Can you imagine you pay $900 a night to stay at the Ritz Carlton or something
00:33:47.560
They wouldn't even, I say next door, that assumes they'd be in the room,
00:33:51.280
You're walking to your room that you're paying hundreds and hundreds of dollars for a night
00:33:55.520
and you're stepping over a homeless guy defecating in the hallway.
00:34:01.780
And the great thing here is one of the voices of reason in this report
00:34:05.560
is an actual homeless guy who says, no, don't do this.
00:34:16.640
The pandemic era program now winding down that inspired this bill
00:34:20.820
by placing more than 10,000 people in hotels that volunteered.
00:34:30.360
The technology is not up to par, but, you know, what technologies do you have in a tent?
00:34:33.780
This bill would also force developers to replace housing demolished to make way for new hotels
00:34:44.360
as well as making every hotel from a Super 8 to the Biltmore,
00:34:54.220
Maybe for some, but, you know, there's a lot of people with untreated mental health
00:34:58.280
and some people do some damage to these poor buildings, man.
00:35:13.260
Opponents of housing, the homeless, and hotels fear this
00:35:16.500
and fear tourists could be put off from even coming to L.A.
00:35:24.220
Like, if you're going to Los Angeles right now, at least,
00:35:27.140
you might think that, yeah, it's an apocalyptic wasteland out there
00:35:31.360
and there's just homeless people and drug addicts and criminals everywhere.
00:35:34.020
But at least I'll be safe inside the hotel room.
00:35:36.620
You take that away and there's no reason to go.
00:35:41.700
Look, these idiots, they are determined to just destroy their cities.
00:35:49.420
They want to destroy their cities and live in the wreckage of it.
00:35:55.020
You do something like this, it is the end of the hospitality and hotel industry in the city.
00:36:00.380
And then thus, it's the end of the tourist industry as well.
00:36:06.980
You know, what's the point of even arguing against it?
00:36:13.300
Reasonable people trying to save you maniacs from yourselves.
00:36:18.900
But just for the record, this again is what, if you're, if you are not a child,
00:36:23.920
if you're over the age of five, my children, you know, my nine-year-olds,
00:36:29.240
They now understand some things about the homeless problem
00:36:34.380
And one of the most, one of the, one of the most fundamental things here
00:36:38.860
is that, again, there's a reason why homeless people are homeless.
00:36:44.820
Because, you know, if everything else was normal,
00:36:49.480
if these are just like normal, mentally healthy people don't have drug abuse problems,
00:36:58.060
Okay, if you don't have a drug abuse problem, and you're not crazy,
00:37:04.360
and especially if you're physically, you know, able,
00:37:12.940
then there's no reason why you would end up on the street for any length of time.
00:37:19.720
Because there's always some kind of housing option.
00:37:23.300
But you can get some kind of job and afford some kind of house.
00:37:35.020
Which is why almost every homeless person you see on the street
00:37:53.880
You know, when you're doing meth and heroin and all that,
00:37:59.300
And so, you could give them money, you could put them in the house,
00:38:05.620
And that's how they end up on the street in the first place.
00:38:08.900
So, to just like leapfrog over the underlying problems,
00:38:15.520
we're going to leap over that and just take these people as they currently are.
00:38:23.700
There's zero chance that that results in anything but total disaster.
00:38:41.740
The Terminal List Season 2 gets a hopeful update
00:38:44.580
as lead star Chris Pratt begins contract negotiations.
00:38:51.640
the action thriller follows Lieutenant Commander James Reese,
00:38:54.560
a Navy SEAL, seeking to avenge the murder of his family.
00:38:59.060
The Terminal List made a big splash with audiences,
00:39:01.100
landing the number one spot on Amazon Prime's list within two weeks of its premiere.
00:39:10.260
Now, I bring this up because my wife and I just finished the Terminal List this weekend,
00:39:15.200
and I can report with confidence that, among other things,
00:39:19.200
the Terminal List is yet another argument for never taking critics seriously ever about anything.
00:39:24.680
Because they have, as I mentioned in the article, totally panned the show, annihilated it.
00:39:37.460
Because I watched it, and I discovered, of course, that it's a very solid, very effective show.
00:39:44.840
I'm warning you ahead of time if you haven't seen it.
00:39:50.580
I mean, this is a show that doesn't pull any punches at all.
00:39:53.380
Like, it doesn't take you up to the brink and then pull back.
00:39:56.600
But it's effective and it's suspenseful, and the performances, especially Chris Pratt's performance, are terrific.
00:40:03.360
I think Chris Pratt's performance in this is his best work as an actor, hands down.
00:40:07.880
And to make the critical reaction even more absurd, there's another Amazon show
00:40:11.440
that's very similar in tone and plot called Reacher, about Jack Reacher,
00:40:18.760
which Tom Cruise did the film version of this character,
00:40:22.120
and then most people think that the TV version is much closer to the source material.
00:40:35.040
The only difference is that Terminalist is better.
00:40:39.040
It remains gripping from the first moment to the last.
00:40:43.640
It doesn't slow down very much, whereas Reacher kind of drags in the middle like most shows do.
00:40:49.820
It's because, well, it stars Chris Pratt, for one.
00:40:53.340
And it's been decided that Chris Pratt is some kind of conservative Christian,
00:40:57.740
which means that you can never favorably review anything that he stars in anymore.
00:41:04.660
Even though that's not true, he's not a conservative Christian, but that's how he's painted.
00:41:10.380
And also, the film is about badass, tough dudes.
00:41:21.520
They don't try to shoehorn any tough, kick-ass women into it.
00:41:25.260
There are women in the film who play crucial roles in the overall plot.
00:41:31.040
But you don't see them punching guys and knocking them out.
00:41:35.200
And the show doesn't worry about filling any diversity quotas either.
00:41:39.660
Although, obviously, there are non-white people in the show.
00:41:42.980
You just don't get the sense that they're in the show for diversity reasons primarily.
00:41:57.620
There are elements of it, decisions that were made, especially towards the end, that I didn't really care for.
00:42:07.640
But it's a good, solid, effective show worth watching.
00:42:10.080
And it's better, at least, than a show featuring Kim Kardashian, Hillary Clinton, and Megan Thee Stallion, and also Gloria Steinem, which is what Apple has coming out.
00:42:27.300
This show is going to be, we already know that this is a 100% rave review.
00:42:35.000
Anyway, this is critically acclaimed already from the beginning.
00:42:47.340
We're hitting the road to shine a light on women who inspire us to be bolder and braver.
00:43:04.400
I'm in deep Georgia, and they might have never met a Muslim.
00:43:14.800
You have a marriage that has been on public display since the beginning.
00:43:18.580
You said the gutsiest thing you ever did was stay in your marriage.
00:43:24.520
To throw someone's life away when people really do make changes, I just believe in second chances.
00:43:37.160
Someone say to me, you're not good enough because you have melanin.
00:43:51.420
Every single person makes some impact on the planet every single day.
00:44:11.940
Stephen King movie came out, you know, years ago with Kathy Bates.
00:44:16.980
And she plays this insane sociopath who takes this guy prisoner.
00:44:21.260
And at one point she puts a two-by-four between his legs at the ankles.
00:44:25.760
And then takes a sledgehammer and hammers his feet so that they're pointing at each other diagonally.
00:44:33.640
And I bring that up because Hillary Clinton reminds me a lot of Kathy Bates in that film.
00:44:39.980
But also because I'd rather have that happen to me than watch one episode of that show.
00:44:45.840
I don't want to see it is what I'm trying to say.
00:44:52.740
And it's not only a terrible show, but it continues to cheapen the idea of courage.
00:44:59.100
Which is maybe the worst thing about it because the show is called Gutsy.
00:45:03.860
We've got Hillary Clinton, Kim Kardashian, Megan Thee Stallion.
00:45:10.420
Few of these women have ever displayed courage in their lives.
00:45:14.060
And then we're told in the film that the gutsiest moment of her life was when she chose to stay with Bill Clinton.
00:45:24.220
But she also stayed with him after he raped Juanita Broderick.
00:45:30.700
And when he was accused of sexual assault and harassment many other times.
00:45:34.220
And when he was jet-setting with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:45:41.300
It didn't just stay, but she actually slandered and silenced and intimidated her rapist husband's accusers.
00:45:56.600
Or is that being a heartless, soulless, power-hungry, demonic old witch?
00:46:09.120
Daily cancellations are the law and order of the day.
00:46:21.280
Melanie says, thank you for sharing the podcast statistics.
00:46:24.780
I'm in California and feel lonely a lot politically.
00:46:27.280
But knowing that only 12 shows from the Daily Wire ends up at number six in the entire lineup really does make me happy.
00:46:40.580
So you might want to think about it if you can.
00:46:46.820
And as I said, it's actually, you know, 12 shows.
00:46:51.300
And we're number, I think, six overall in downloads.
00:46:53.920
But only about half of those shows are daily shows.
00:46:56.880
So, really, it's even more impressive than that, if I do say so myself.
00:47:02.460
Bubblehead says, Matt, I hope you can cover the issues regarding the VA in Canada casually recommending euthanasia to a veteran with PTSD.
00:47:10.880
That is an issue that I was totally unaware of until I read this comment just right before it went on the air.
00:47:21.260
And, yeah, I don't know enough yet to give you a full analysis of it, other than to say that that's obviously horrifying and evil and wrong.
00:47:32.400
There was a veteran that called the VA suffering from PTSD, didn't have any terminal illness.
00:47:38.940
Although, even if he did, that still would be horrifying and wrong to suggest that he'd kill himself.
00:47:43.920
He was struggling, right, mentally and emotionally with trauma related to combat and everything else.
00:47:51.700
And it was suggested casually by the person on the phone, oh, well, you might think about killing yourself.
00:47:56.060
Now, there wasn't, maybe it wasn't put that way exactly, but that's what was said.
00:48:03.700
And that is something that already happens in other parts of the world and other parts of Europe.
00:48:10.200
They, you know, euthanasia is somewhat common for people who do not suffer from terminal illnesses.
00:48:17.060
And we're going to start to see that more and more on this side of the Atlantic.
00:48:22.380
This is one of the reasons why we should oppose euthanasia across the board, period.
00:48:30.340
Because hopefully everyone sees by now, when it comes to the left, and it comes to their anti-human death cult agenda,
00:48:37.560
when you open the door to them, even a crack, right, then you've let them in.
00:48:48.200
And the problem is that all of these doors, to all of these terrible things, we've opened all the doors.
00:48:54.660
And then we've opened them a little bit and said, oh, no, this is as far as we want to open it.
00:49:00.860
So with euthanasia, with the idea of, like, doctors killing somebody as a form of medical treatment,
00:49:09.980
The 20B, the 20Bandit1 says, I'm loving this season of Matt Walsh.
00:49:23.400
I feel like that plot is a little bit stretched.
00:49:31.360
Lior says, can we please be told what it is we're missing out on, on the members-only section?
00:49:36.760
Maybe it's when Matt gets all cheery and soft-hearted and starts talking about his hidden admiration and love for pandas.
00:49:43.980
This is for, and I made it clear with the Daily Wire members, that they're my favorites.
00:49:50.260
And the conversations that we have are just between us.
00:49:53.800
So if you want to be in that club, you have to sign up.
00:49:59.360
Tie My Shoe says, we need Matt on, Matt on Rogan.
00:50:05.560
Maybe reach out to Joe Rogan and suggest it if you're a fan of his show, as am I.
00:50:09.960
I know he's a big fan of the film, What is a Woman?
00:50:13.440
Talks about it all the time, which I really appreciate.
00:50:15.700
I'd love to go on and talk about the film with him.
00:50:25.600
You know, when I was a kid, many years ago, it was a thought that the left,
00:50:28.600
who we perhaps erroneously called liberals at the time, mainly wanted to break down boundaries
00:50:34.540
and establish a free, less rigid, more open society.
00:50:40.580
Even when I was like eight years old, I knew better.
00:50:44.220
In recent years, however, even the most naive and oblivious among us have finally begun to understand the truth.
00:50:49.080
Leftists on the whole are not only uninterested in freedom and openness,
00:50:53.840
but are, in fact, primarily focused on establishing boundaries.
00:50:58.120
This is the defining characteristic of the modern leftist.
00:51:01.600
He wants more rules, more ordinances and mandates, more fencing to contain and control people.
00:51:07.760
It's just that the boundaries he seeks to set are arbitrary and capricious and often psychotically petty.
00:51:15.300
And he himself is always, of course, exempt from them.
00:51:18.540
Just the last few days have given us a couple of examples of this sort of thing.
00:51:21.840
We start here in Modesto, California, a, quote, straight pride march,
00:51:26.440
quote, devolved into violence, as the New York Post puts it in their report,
00:51:30.260
when counterprotesters clashed with the marchers outside of an abortion clinic.
00:51:34.500
Now, it's generally agreed by the media and by the counterprotesters who showed up at the march
00:51:39.100
and seemingly by most people on social media that a straight pride march is not only absurd,
00:51:46.680
And yet, the very same people who will categorize a straight pride march in that way
00:51:51.860
will also insist that gay pride marches are noble and important.
00:51:57.280
So here we see the arbitrary boundary being put in place.
00:52:01.240
Gays can march, you know, and they should be celebrated for doing so.
00:52:11.940
There is no intelligible reason that anyone's ever given or could ever give
00:52:17.000
why it's acceptable to march and express your pride in every sexual orientation under the sun
00:52:24.840
Just as there is no intelligible coherent reason why it should be considered good and healthy
00:52:28.900
for every race and ethnicity to express pride in themselves and their heritage
00:52:34.500
The left has attempted to build this fortress around the concept of pride
00:52:39.120
and declared that no white straight people should ever be allowed inside.
00:52:45.420
Everyone everywhere is allowed to be proud of who they are, the left says,
00:52:52.540
In fact, for them, such pride is, it's unthinkably, brutally racist and bigoted.
00:53:01.360
And for whatever reason, most people are happy to follow it without asking any questions about it.
00:53:05.840
Now, in reality, I think it's ludicrous for anyone to take pride in their sexual orientation.
00:53:13.660
Being attracted a certain way is not in itself an achievement.
00:53:16.900
Now, I take pride in my beautiful wife and my children, my family, none of which I would have if I wasn't heterosexual.
00:53:25.580
But it would feel rather reductive and silly to call my pride in my family straight pride.
00:53:32.340
Actually, rather than a straight pride march, I'd be in favor of a family march.
00:53:37.380
Perhaps we should have a march celebrating the family.
00:53:50.200
In any case, the point is that however silly a straight pride march might be,
00:53:54.600
it cannot possibly be any sillier than a gay pride march.
00:53:58.860
And that, I'm guessing, is the primary point that the people in the straight pride march are trying to make.
00:54:06.460
You don't get to grant yourself special privileges.
00:54:16.840
The left's boundaries that they set up should be broken down just simply for the sake of breaking them down.
00:54:22.820
And this is especially true as the boundaries become more bizarre and constricting and trivial.
00:54:30.720
There's a TikTok user who goes by the handle AmushroomBlackly.
00:54:34.780
And she went viral over the last few days with her reaction to a Drew Barrymore video
00:54:40.440
where Barrymore runs laughing through the rain.
00:54:44.480
Now, AmushroomBlackly has decided that it's racist for a white person to frolic in the rain.
00:54:51.240
So that's why she, now, I can think of many reasons to oppose adults doing any kind of frolicking at all.
00:54:58.480
And she's saying that the problem is that if you do this, then you're racist against black people.
00:55:04.980
You and I both know that you are capable of enjoying the rain and frolicking freely without filming it and then posting it to TikTok.
00:55:26.480
You've just co-signed at least 3 million, 8.5 by 11, front and back people who just go out of their way to disrespect and dismiss the boundaries that black creators have set.
00:55:54.420
Why is it so important to all of you to treat us like we don't matter?
00:56:04.880
Now, it's hard to know exactly where to begin here.
00:56:10.340
She makes clear that black TikTok creators have set a boundary which forbids white people from publicly enjoying themselves in the rain.
00:56:19.620
We may do so privately, perhaps in our own backyards where no one can see us, but we may not make a spectacle of this enjoyment.
00:56:26.260
And if we do, then we're not only racist, but we're sending a message that black people don't matter.
00:56:31.600
So, if you can watch that video of Drew Barrymore laughing in the rain, she's laughing about the fact, this is like an evil laughter.
00:56:42.160
She's laughing about how much she hates black people, apparently.
00:56:47.620
Yet, it's not explained why this is racist or how frolicking in the rain could send a message like that or why these boundaries were set,
00:56:55.600
or perhaps more importantly, why anyone should give the slightest damn about the boundaries she has set up for us.
00:57:02.740
Now, fortunately, she did post a follow-up video with more information, so maybe we'll get a little bit more clarity here.
00:57:08.860
Why is it an issue for me to stand firm in what I believe?
00:57:16.120
Female black creators started frolicking in the rain.
00:57:18.920
Okay, oh, poor Drew had a hard childhood, says the white woman to the black woman in America.
00:57:32.220
But, what y'all really are not catching is the reactions.
00:57:41.680
Like, okay, say that was a complete and total stretch, right?
00:57:45.120
Y'all still went out of your way to demean me, put me down, call me out my name, dismiss my opinion on my own TikTok.
00:57:58.420
But defend Drew in her hard childhood, because she's the only one who ever had a hard childhood.
00:58:06.000
Well, we went out of our way to dismiss your opinion and demean you because you're stupid.
00:58:17.680
Well, it doesn't make sense, but at least now I understand what sort of nonsense we're dealing with.
00:58:21.820
A mushroom blackly believes that white people cannot engage in any form of frolicking.
00:58:26.880
Not just frolicking in the rain, but even frolicking in the grass is out of bounds.
00:58:31.500
Because black people on TikTok frolicked before us.
00:58:36.300
Apparently, there are black people on TikTok frolicking.
00:58:42.700
And having invented it, nobody with lighter skin is allowed to engage in it, therefore.
00:58:47.620
So what Drew Barrymore has done here is a form of frolic-based plagiarism.
00:58:57.440
Though I actually appreciate it in a certain way.
00:58:59.360
Because mushroom blackly has inadvertently illustrated the absurdity of the appropriation charge.
00:59:04.880
Now, this might be the most absurd version of appropriation.
00:59:08.820
But it kind of shows, it's symptomatic of pretty much all appropriation claims.
00:59:14.000
Because obviously, black people did not invent frolicking.
00:59:19.320
They weren't the first ones to do it in general, nor to film it.
00:59:22.840
And even if they did, which they didn't, that still would not give a certain race ownership
00:59:31.820
I myself frolic through fields of daffodils on a weekly basis and will continue to do so.
00:59:39.280
But this is how the appropriation claim usually works.
00:59:41.320
A white person is accused of stealing something that, first of all,
00:59:45.100
was absolutely not invented by the race they're accused of stealing it from.
00:59:49.120
And second of all, cannot be stolen anyway because it cannot be possessed in the first place.
00:59:57.340
The boundaries are not meant to be logical or defensible or morally coherent.
01:00:04.280
The left erects these fences and walls, and the rest of us are meant to just live within them.
01:00:08.580
And as the boundaries get closer and closer together, and more and more things become
01:00:13.420
suddenly off-limits, and more and more things that you enjoy doing and I enjoy doing, like
01:00:18.880
frolicking, all of a sudden, you're not allowed to do anymore.
01:00:24.980
And the only way to win the game is to refuse to play it.
01:00:33.940
You can even frolic for straight pride, though that may send mixed messages.
01:00:41.220
Do whatever you want, because the people who set these arbitrary, ridiculous boundaries
01:00:48.020
And that will do it for this portion of the show as we move over to the members block.
