The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1011 - A Cover Up To Protect Child Abusers

00:00:00.000 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 1.00

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 don't have a will in place designating who will take over as parental guardian should something

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.

00:03:01.780 Okay, so gender-affirming hysterectomy.

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

00:03:44.300 through all the paperwork and everything.

00:03:45.840 Well, yeah, it depends. Like, each department's different. Some, some departments cut off at

00:03:49.160 18. How old, how old is your patient?

00:03:51.140 16.

00:03:51.540 Okay. All right. So they're in the clear.

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 1.00

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. 0.83

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?

00:09:29.900 It's what they're doing?

00:09:30.860 Take this report from Jason Rance last week.

00:09:37.260 Reading now, it says,

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

00:10:11.500 by the Jason Rance Show on KTTH.

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.

00:10:25.860 Reading on here, it says,

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.

00:11:17.580 Okay, but that's not what the study showed.

00:11:22.200 The study actually showed no improvements in mental health for the patients receiving this form of care.

00:11:28.760 No improvement.

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.

00:11:39.860 Mainstream media was over the moon about it.

00:11:41.840 Finally, we have a study confirming what we've been claiming for years.

00:11:46.320 Finally.

00:11:48.100 But it didn't exist.

00:11:50.000 It was a lie.

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.

00:12:28.900 Reading more from Rance's report, it says,

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.

00:12:43.500 Quote,

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.

00:14:02.820 They didn't even look at the raw data.

00:14:05.240 They just went with what they were told by the PR departments.

00:14:09.540 You're seeing a theme here emerge.

00:14:11.840 Whatever the PR department tells them, that's the story.

00:14:15.100 No curiosity about what lies underneath it.

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.

00:14:47.440 Hoping nobody would notice.

00:14:49.840 And it didn't matter anyway.

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.

00:15:10.060 They have no studies to back them up.

00:15:12.740 None.

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.

00:15:28.420 But it's a PR problem.

00:15:30.060 Which is why, mark my words on this.

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.

00:15:52.540 I mean, we already hear those claims.

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.

00:16:23.600 Now, let's get to our five headlines.

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 Rockauto.com has been in the auto parts business for 20 years, family-owned.

00:17:03.280 Their goal is to make auto parts available and affordable to keep you safe on the road.

00:17:06.880 Rockauto.com's online parts catalog is incredibly easy to use.

00:17:10.540 You can search all the parts available for your specific car, SUV, truck, whatever you have with photos, specs, and installation tips.

00:17:16.680 Not only will they have the part you need, but they're usually going to have several trusted brands to choose from.

00:17:21.780 Rockauto's kits are also popular because they bundle together all the parts you need for successful repair.

00:17:26.360 So go to rockauto.com and get brakes, shocks, carpets, wipers, headlights, mirrors, mufflers, lug nuts, or any other part you need.

00:17:32.260 Rockauto.com. Be sure to write Walsh in their How Did You Hear About Us box so they know that I sent you.

00:17:37.880 All right, well, we have to start here, obviously, with the biggest news, that the VMAs were last night.

00:17:42.120 Nobody knows exactly why, but they happen.

00:17:45.280 They keep happening.

00:17:46.160 No one can explain it.

00:17:47.060 Nobody understands, but they keep on having the VMAs.

00:17:50.380 And all I know is that Lizzo was there.

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.

00:18:01.580 We just take a look at this outfit.

00:18:02.640 That she's looking like, there it is. 1.00

00:18:04.920 She looks like a, you know, like a giant trash bag. 1.00

00:18:09.180 And I say that not in a negative way. 0.99

00:18:11.960 I mean, it's a glam.

00:18:13.480 Here's what I'll say for this. 0.98

00:18:14.400 It's the most glamorous trash bag I have ever seen in my life, hands down. 0.92

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.

00:18:38.520 Anyway, she did win an award for something.

00:18:41.220 And she got up there and she had a message.

00:18:43.660 She had changed her outfit, maybe for the best.

00:18:46.960 But she had a message, an inspiring message.

00:18:50.300 And this was all over social media last night.

00:18:52.120 People are very inspired by this.

00:18:53.480 Let's listen to it.

00:18:54.120 I don't know what music video for good means, but I do know what your vote means. 0.90

00:19:00.980 And that's a f***ing lot.

00:19:03.460 Your vote means everything to me. 0.70

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.

00:19:24.120 She's got something on her face there.

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.

00:19:40.760 But there is no music video.

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.

00:19:52.840 Am I correct here?

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.

00:20:02.460 First, do people vote for the VMAs?

00:20:06.440 Is that open to the public?

00:20:09.000 I didn't think it was.

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?

00:20:26.960 I don't know.

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.

00:20:38.580 So she's not sure how to change the law.

00:20:40.260 She has no idea.

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.

00:20:45.120 She's confused about that.

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.

00:20:53.500 She's not talking about me.

00:20:54.320 She means her, like laws are oppressing her.

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. 0.62

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.

00:21:31.600 So there are no laws.

00:21:32.960 There's no oppression whatsoever.

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.

00:21:56.460 I'm 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. 1.00

00:22:23.680 There's no oppression against her anyway. 1.00

00:22:25.300 There is plenty of oppression in this country.

00:22:26.580 It's just that she's exempt from almost all of it.

00:22:29.260 That's the fake courage.

00:22:30.700 Let's get to some real courage from a celebrity.

00:22:32.340 Daily Wire reports,

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.

00:22:55.700 She said,

00:22:56.420 I really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase.

00:23:01.200 She said,

00:23:02.560 I love this girly life.

00:23:05.160 And then that's what she originally posted.

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.

00:23:24.760 And I hear this from women all the time. 1.00

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.

00:23:34.140 They would have done it to me too.

00:23:36.520 So what she's expressing here is very normal.

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, 0.95

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.

00:24:03.940 Most of them just fell silent.

00:24:05.940 Maybe there's been a few countries.

00:24:07.120 I think there's been a few country stars that have come out in support of her.

00:24:09.840 But most of them are just silent.

00:24:11.220 They're not going to say anything about it.

00:24:12.620 And then others have come out against her.

00:24:14.020 So, some in country music attacked Britney for the comments and called her names. 1.00

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.

00:24:35.540 Real nice.

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. 1.00

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. 0.99

00:25:15.800 Until then, leave children alone.

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.

00:25:28.480 I mean, what is she saying in this post?

00:25:29.840 All she's saying is, don't chop the body parts off of healthy children. 0.92

00:25:36.340 Don't drug and castrate them.

00:25:38.580 And let them be kids.

00:25:40.440 Just let them live their lives as children.

00:25:42.480 Let them go through phases.

00:25:44.520 And it's a normal thing.

00:25:47.500 And yet, a message like that actually takes a significant amount of courage for someone in her position to say.

00:25:54.260 And so far, she hasn't backed down.

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. 0.68

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.

00:26:22.740 And this is what we need.

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.

00:26:35.120 That's what I am to most people.

00:26:36.300 Now, I like to think there's some good that can be done by me speaking out against these things,

00:26:41.700 and I will continue to do so.

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,

00:27:23.120 looks at this kind of stuff.

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.

00:28:17.820 All right.

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

00:28:34.760 stretching through a desolate wasteland.

00:28:37.360 Because we know the libs, like, they don't want to build a wall on the southern border,

00:28:40.780 but they will build a wall and live inside it.

00:28:43.240 So here's the new idea.

00:28:44.400 Billionaire Mark Lohr is fleshing out his plan to build a utopian city called Telosa

00:28:48.800 for 5 million people in the American desert.

00:28:51.940 And he's not the only one with such ambitions.

00:28:54.660 There are about a dozen projects worldwide to create sustainable, hyper-modern cities from scratch.

00:28:59.620 While they may never come to fruition,

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.

00:29:31.840 I don't think you need all the details.

00:29:33.740 Here's the point.

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.

00:29:58.480 And that's the problem, right?

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.

00:30:14.160 And that's where things fall apart.

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

00:30:23.600 just like they run our current 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.

00:30:35.860 That's what it's going to become.

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.

00:30:56.820 In California, here's the latest idea.

00:31:00.380 Where they've decided they want to take homeless people and move them into hotels.

00:31:06.300 Real simple solution, right?

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.

00:31:45.880 That's certainly not where the problem begins.

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.

00:32:14.660 See where this might be going?

00:32:17.320 It's just, it's insane.

00:32:19.420 It isn't going to solve the problem.

00:32:21.800 We think this is one part of the solution.

00:32:24.060 By no means do we think this solves the homelessness crisis.

00:32:26.460 But do hotels have a role to play?

00:32:28.700 Of course they do.

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

00:32:53.800 to the left or right is a homeless individual?

00:32:57.920 Manoj Patel voluntarily rents some rooms to homeless people who are vetted and paid for

00:33:03.360 by a local church.

00:33:04.780 But he's against this bill that would make that mandatory.

00:33:10.040 We barely are surviving, number one.

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.

00:33:35.700 Brilliant.

00:33:36.760 Just a brilliant idea.

00:33:37.860 Can you imagine you pay $900 a night to stay at the Ritz Carlton or something

00:33:41.840 and there's a homeless meth addict next door?

00:33:45.680 Like you're walking to your room.

00:33:47.560 They wouldn't even, I say next door, that assumes they'd be in the room,

00:33:50.260 which they wouldn't even be.

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.

00:33:59.920 That's what they want to set up.

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.

00:34:11.240 Let's watch the rest of it.

00:34:14.020 It's up to the city.

00:34:15.040 I mean, they did it during Project Room Key.

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.

00:34:25.700 Sean Bigdeli among them.

00:34:27.480 Well, first of all, it's a blessing.

00:34:28.660 It's a great room.

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

00:34:40.680 and hotel permits would be introduced,

00:34:44.360 as well as making every hotel from a Super 8 to the Biltmore,

00:34:48.860 except homeless people, as guests.

00:34:51.980 I don't think that's a good idea.

00:34:53.420 Why not?

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.

00:35:02.360 This happened in Manoj Patel's motel.

00:35:06.320 And she marked all walls, curtains she burnt.

00:35:10.100 Thank God there was no fire.

00:35:11.680 Even marked the ceiling.

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.

00:35:20.920 Yeah, you think so?

00:35:22.780 I mean, if they haven't already been put off.

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.

00:35:39.800 So, you know what?

00:35:40.760 Just let them do it. 1.00

00:35:41.700 Look, these idiots, they are determined to just destroy their cities. 1.00

00:35:47.700 They are determined to do it. 1.00

00:35:49.420 They want to destroy their cities and live in the wreckage of it.

00:35:53.320 And you know what?

00:35:53.840 Go ahead and do 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.

00:36:02.960 Because those two things go hand in hand.

00:36:04.700 So go ahead and do it.

00:36:05.660 I mean, why not?

00:36:06.680 Go ahead.

00:36:06.980 You know, what's the point of even arguing against it? 0.96

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,

00:36:27.800 we had this conversation when they were five.

00:36:29.240 They now understand some things about the homeless problem

00:36:32.140 that even adult leftists don't understand.

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,

00:36:55.700 there's no reason why they'd be homeless.

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,

00:37:10.340 you can at least walk around,

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.

00:37:22.560 It would not be great.

00:37:23.300 But you can get some kind of job and afford some kind of house.

00:37:28.100 It might not be great.

00:37:28.680 It might not be nice.

00:37:30.620 Okay?

00:37:31.020 You know, but you won't be on the street.

00:37:35.020 Which is why almost every homeless person you see on the street

00:37:39.020 is, has severe mental health problems.

00:37:44.720 Okay? 0.92

00:37:45.940 And or is addicted to drugs.

00:37:48.200 And for a lot of them, it's both.

00:37:51.220 And the two feed off of each other.

00:37:53.880 You know, when you're doing meth and heroin and all that,

00:37:55.980 it's not great for your brain.

00:37:59.300 And so, you could give them money, you could put them in the house,

00:38:01.720 but they just, it goes right into the drugs.

00:38:03.740 It's all they care about.

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,

00:38:13.580 mental illness, drug abuse,

00:38:15.520 we're going to leap over that and just take these people as they currently are.

00:38:18.200 And put them in a house, put them in a room.

00:38:23.700 There's zero chance that that results in anything but total disaster.

00:38:30.540 But, whatever.

00:38:31.360 Why even explain it?

00:38:32.120 Go ahead. 1.00

00:38:32.800 Destroy your city. 1.00

00:38:33.580 Go ahead and do it. 1.00

00:38:34.120 Please.

00:38:34.400 Please do.

00:38:35.660 Have at it.

00:38:37.800 All right.

00:38:38.240 One other thing.

00:38:38.760 A little bit of entertainment news.

00:38:39.800 This is from Screen Rant.

00:38:40.920 It says,

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.

00:38:49.200 Debuting on Amazon Prime Video in July,

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.

00:38:57.500 They'll receive largely negative reviews.

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.

00:39:04.620 It also was watched for 1.6 billion minutes

00:39:07.600 across its eight episodes per Nielsen's data.

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.

00:39:31.160 It has like a 39% on Rotten Tomatoes.

00:39:34.200 Abysmally bad ratings, which is absurd.

00:39:37.460 Because I watched it, and I discovered, of course, that it's a very solid, very effective show.

00:39:42.800 It's a revenge thriller.

00:39:43.960 It's really dark.

00:39:44.840 I'm warning you ahead of time if you haven't seen it.

00:39:46.320 It's brutal.

00:39:47.060 It does not compromise, which I appreciate.

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.

00:39:55.800 It goes right over.

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.

00:40:28.480 But that show has over 90% of Rotten Tomatoes.

00:40:31.380 It's also a revenge thriller.

00:40:33.280 It's also pretty violent.

00:40:35.040 The only difference is that Terminalist is better.

00:40:37.500 The performances are much better.

00:40:39.040 It remains gripping from the first moment to the last.

00:40:42.180 There's not a lot of lag time.

00:40:43.640 It doesn't slow down very much, whereas Reacher kind of drags in the middle like most shows do.

00:40:48.340 So why did Terminalist get panned?

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.

00:41:13.880 That's what it's about.

00:41:15.080 It doesn't compromise there either.

00:41:16.640 It's about, you know, tough, violent men. 0.73

00:41:21.520 They don't try to shoehorn any tough, kick-ass women into it. 1.00

00:41:25.260 There are women in the film who play crucial roles in the overall plot. 1.00

00:41:31.040 But you don't see them punching guys and knocking them out.

00:41:34.300 Nothing like that happens.

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.

00:41:48.000 They're just there to tell the story.

00:41:50.180 And it's the story that matters.

00:41:51.900 And that's why critics hate it.

00:41:56.080 Not a perfect show by any means.

00:41:57.620 There are elements of it, decisions that were made, especially towards the end, that I didn't really care for.

00:42:01.340 But overall, very good show.

00:42:05.020 No show is perfect.

00:42:06.560 Or few are, anyway.

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.

00:42:22.000 And this is a show.

00:42:23.520 I'll play a little bit of the preview for you.

00:42:25.900 So Terminal List has a 39%.

00:42:27.300 This show is going to be, we already know that this is a 100% rave review.

00:42:31.440 Before it even comes out.

00:42:32.500 We don't even, it doesn't need to come out.

00:42:34.100 No one needs to see it.

00:42:35.000 Anyway, this is critically acclaimed already from the beginning.

00:42:40.060 But here's the preview.

00:42:43.160 Okay, here we go.

00:42:47.340 We're hitting the road to shine a light on women who inspire us to be bolder and braver.

00:42:53.380 Leadership doesn't look one way.

00:42:55.440 It's a giant rainbow.

00:42:57.480 You're not going to break me down.

00:42:58.420 You'll get worn out before I do.

00:42:59.720 Women who push us outside our comfort zone. 1.00

00:43:02.120 You got this.

00:43:03.220 And make us laugh.

00:43:04.400 I'm in deep Georgia, and they might have never met a Muslim.

00:43:08.740 Or they don't know they have.

00:43:09.800 Or they don't know they have.

00:43:10.800 Because we walk among you.

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.

00:43:21.660 That doesn't mean that's right for everybody.

00:43:24.520 To throw someone's life away when people really do make changes, I just believe in second chances.

00:43:30.700 My mother needed rehabilitation, not prison. 0.98

00:43:33.380 Your survival is your power.

00:43:37.160 Someone say to me, you're not good enough because you have melanin.

00:43:41.520 How dare you?

00:43:42.660 I have a master's in whites. 0.99

00:43:44.140 I just want whites to get a GED in blacks. 0.99

00:43:47.600 Oh, my God. 0.77

00:43:51.420 Every single person makes some impact on the planet every single day.

00:43:56.500 We can choose what sort of difference we make.

00:44:01.440 Speak truth to power.

00:44:06.260 You know, there's a movie called Misery.

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. 1.00

00:44:21.260 And at one point she puts a two-by-four between his legs at the ankles. 0.89

00:44:25.760 And then takes a sledgehammer and hammers his feet so that they're pointing at each other diagonally.

00:44:32.120 Like hobbling him so he can't go anywhere.

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.

00:44:50.580 It looks terrible.

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.

00:45:02.400 And then it's called Gutsy.

00:45:03.860 We've got Hillary Clinton, Kim Kardashian, Megan Thee Stallion. 0.99

00:45:10.420 Few of these women have ever displayed courage in their lives.

00:45:13.140 Least of all Hillary Clinton.

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.

00:45:21.960 Presumably after the Lewinsky affair. 0.59

00:45:24.220 But she also stayed with him after he raped Juanita Broderick. 1.00

00:45:28.960 Allegedly. 0.72

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.

00:45:36.980 Hanging out on Sex Slave Island.

00:45:39.860 She stayed through all of that. 0.99

00:45:41.300 It didn't just stay, but she actually slandered and silenced and intimidated her rapist husband's accusers. 1.00

00:45:50.100 And then had Jeffrey Epstein murdered. 0.70

00:45:52.460 Allegedly.

00:45:53.820 So is that courage?

00:45:55.460 I mean, is that what that is? 0.99

00:45:56.600 Or is that being a heartless, soulless, power-hungry, demonic old witch? 0.98

00:46:02.400 I mean, tomato-tomato, I suppose. 0.97

00:46:07.920 Let's get to the comment section.

00:46:09.120 Daily cancellations are the law and order of the day.

00:46:15.040 We're the sweet baby gang.

00:46:19.760 All right.

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.

00:46:33.860 Let's go, team.

00:46:35.700 Yeah.

00:46:36.120 Well, you're not alone.

00:46:37.340 You're increasingly alone in California.

00:46:39.680 I do have to tell you that.

00:46:40.580 So you might want to think about it if you can.

00:46:41.720 Move.

00:46:42.440 But, yeah.

00:46:44.400 Across the country, you're not alone at all.

00:46:46.820 And as I said, it's actually, you know, 12 shows.

00:46:49.140 They counted as 12 active 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.

00:47:18.020 And I did look into it briefly.

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.

00:47:28.460 But that apparently is exactly what happened.

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.

00:47:42.960 But didn't.

00:47:43.920 He was struggling, right, mentally and emotionally with trauma related to combat and everything else. 0.88

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.

00:48:20.920 And I've been warning about that.

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.

00:48:44.240 You cannot open the door, even a crack.

00:48:47.120 You've got to keep that door shut.

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.

00:48:57.720 It's too late now.

00:49:00.860 So with euthanasia, with the idea of, like, doctors killing somebody as a form of medical treatment,

00:49:07.140 that is a door we should have kept shut.

00:49:09.380 But we didn't.

00:49:09.980 The 20B, the 20Bandit1 says, I'm loving this season of Matt Walsh.

00:49:19.280 The giant walrus plot is epic.

00:49:21.760 Is it?

00:49:22.060 I feel like we're stretching it a bit.

00:49:23.400 I feel like that plot is a little bit stretched.

00:49:25.500 I don't know.

00:49:26.460 That's just me.

00:49:28.080 Not that it's not important to me.

00:49:29.240 It is very important to me.

00:49:30.200 Don't get me wrong.

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.

00:49:42.420 We won't tell you.

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.

00:49:53.460 Okay?

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.

00:50:02.700 Well, I agree.

00:50:04.200 I'd love to go on Joe 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.

00:50:18.880 Hint, hint.

00:50:20.200 Let's get to the Daily Cancellation.

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.

00:50:38.880 Now, I didn't think that about the left.

00:50:40.580 Even when I was like eight years old, I knew better.

00:50:42.560 But lots of people did think it.

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.

00:50:57.040 That's their main thing.

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,

00:51:44.700 but also inherently bigoted.

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. 1.00

00:52:05.500 Heterosexuals who march are bigots and morons. 1.00

00:52:08.680 That's the boundary. 1.00

00:52:10.300 But it makes no sense.

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

00:52:21.920 except heterosexuality.

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

00:52:32.860 except white people.

00:52:34.500 The left has attempted to build this fortress around the concept of pride 0.94

00:52:39.120 and declared that no white straight people should ever be allowed inside.

00:52:42.980 Yet they can't really justify that.

00:52:45.420 Everyone everywhere is allowed to be proud of who they are, the left says,

00:52:50.620 except white straight people.

00:52:51.840 They're the only ones who can. 0.98

00:52:52.540 In fact, for them, such pride is, it's unthinkably, brutally racist and bigoted.

00:52:59.140 And this is the rule they've established.

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.

00:53:36.100 How about that?

00:53:37.380 Perhaps we should have a march celebrating the family.

00:53:41.560 Celebrating the nuclear family.

00:53:42.780 That's what the march should be.

00:53:44.860 Don't call it a straight pride march.

00:53:46.160 Call it a family pride march.

00:53:48.120 Not a bad idea, the more I think about it.

00:53:50.200 In any case, the point is that however silly a straight pride march might be, 0.99

00:53:54.600 it cannot possibly be any sillier than a gay pride march. 1.00

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. 0.98

00:54:05.000 You don't get to make rules for us.

00:54:06.460 You don't get to grant yourself special privileges.

00:54:08.900 It doesn't work that way.

00:54:10.380 If you get to march, then so do we.

00:54:13.700 That's the point, and it's perfectly valid. 0.85

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.

00:54:27.700 Which brings us to our second example.

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.

00:54:56.800 But she's making it racial. 0.85

00:54:58.480 And she's saying that the problem is that if you do this, then you're racist against black people.

00:55:02.500 Though she's not really able to explain why.

00:55:04.440 Let's listen.

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.

00:55:21.940 Now, you've just co-signed, okay?

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.

00:55:42.560 And now you're one of those people.

00:55:44.420 So, I guess my question would be, why?

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. 0.59

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. 0.95

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. 0.99

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, 0.98

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? 0.94

00:57:13.420 Male black creators frolicked in the grass. 1.00

00:57:16.120 Female black creators started frolicking in the rain. 1.00

00:57:18.920 Okay, oh, poor Drew had a hard childhood, says the white woman to the black woman in America. 0.99

00:57:27.500 I'm not picking.

00:57:28.740 Nobody is picking on her.

00:57:30.700 I pointed out the obvious.

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. 1.00

00:58:06.000 Well, we went out of our way to dismiss your opinion and demean you because you're stupid. 1.00

00:58:11.260 That's why. 1.00

00:58:12.740 It's a perfectly logical response.

00:58:16.000 But it all makes sense now.

00:58:17.680 Well, it doesn't make sense, but at least now I understand what sort of nonsense we're dealing with. 0.98

00:58:21.820 A mushroom blackly believes that white people cannot engage in any form of frolicking. 0.98

00:58:26.880 Not just frolicking in the rain, but even frolicking in the grass is out of bounds. 0.99

00:58:31.500 Because black people on TikTok frolicked before us. 1.00

00:58:36.300 Apparently, there are black people on TikTok frolicking. 0.99

00:58:39.120 This is a thing, I guess. 0.87

00:58:40.260 But they invented it.

00:58:42.700 And having invented it, nobody with lighter skin is allowed to engage in it, therefore. 0.97

00:58:47.620 So what Drew Barrymore has done here is a form of frolic-based plagiarism.

00:58:52.260 This is the claim. 1.00

00:58:53.500 And it is, of course, mind-numbingly stupid. 1.00

00:58:57.440 Though I actually appreciate it in a certain way. 0.99

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. 0.97

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

00:59:27.160 over the practice of frolicking.

00:59:30.220 Frolicking is open to all races.

00:59:31.820 I myself frolic through fields of daffodils on a weekly basis and will continue to do so.

00:59:37.260 It's how I get my cardio.

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.

00:59:55.080 But this is almost beside the point.

00:59:57.340 The boundaries are not meant to be logical or defensible or morally coherent.

01:00:01.640 They exist simply to be abided by.

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.

01:00:22.080 It's a game of power and control.

01:00:24.980 And the only way to win the game is to refuse to play it.

01:00:29.220 So, march for straight pride if you want. 0.52

01:00:33.160 Frolic in the rain.

01:00:33.940 You can even frolic for straight pride, though that may send mixed messages. 0.93

01:00:41.220 Do whatever you want, because the people who set these arbitrary, ridiculous boundaries

01:00:45.460 are today canceled.

01:00:48.020 And that will do it for this portion of the show as we move over to the members block.

01:00:51.940 Hope to see you over there.

01:00:52.820 If I don't, see you tomorrow.

01:00:54.740 Godspeed.
