The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1013 - The Gender Surgeon Who Will Butcher Children Of Any Age

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, we have reported on many doctors who butcher children, but today I'll tell you about the worst one yet.

00:00:05.800 This one says he does not abide by any age limit at all. None.

00:00:10.040 Also, Joe Biden tries to rewrite history and cast the Democrats as the party of law and order.

00:00:15.060 The Democratic governor of Minnesota also tries to rewrite history, claiming that the school shutdowns never happened.

00:00:20.400 We all imagined it, apparently.

00:00:22.420 A brave young man shows up at a girls' basketball tournament and completely dominates.

00:00:25.940 In our daily cancellation, we'll deal with the pundit who has decided to die on the hill of defending gender surgeries for children.

00:00:32.640 All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:32.180 Last night, the media was frantically reporting the news of a bomb threat at Boston Children's Hospital.

00:01:38.840 Now, immediately, the left, as you would expect, jumped on the story.

00:01:43.660 They were barely able to hide their glee.

00:01:45.480 I mean, they were excited about it because it was an opportunity to blame conservatives.

00:01:50.620 And they blamed conservatives for the threat, mostly singling out libs of TikTok and myself.

00:01:55.780 I was tagged thousands of times last night by leftists condemning me for my involvement in the bomb threat.

00:02:02.480 And if not my involvement, then at least my role in promoting, you know, this kind of violence.

00:02:09.100 Except that, of course, I have never promoted any violence of any kind.

00:02:12.740 And least of all, have I encouraged anyone to bomb a hospital?

00:02:16.660 Libs of TikTok has done no such thing either.

00:02:18.820 And though I haven't specifically asked her this question, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that she agrees with me and with every other rational human being on earth that, you know, bombing hospitals or threatening to bomb them is evil and insane behavior.

00:02:32.580 Now, of course, this doesn't really need to be said.

00:02:35.320 Everyone knows that we have never advocated violence and never would.

00:02:38.980 Everyone knows that all we have done is report what these institutions are doing.

00:02:44.460 The fact that so many children's hospitals and other medical clinics are doing terrible things to kids is a reason to criticize them, not us.

00:02:54.100 The left screams, how could you accuse children's hospitals of drugging and mutilating kids?

00:02:59.320 Well, because they are.

00:03:01.280 I mean, that's why we're accused, because that's what they're doing.

00:03:04.260 That's how we can say it.

00:03:05.840 I wish they weren't doing it.

00:03:07.720 I wish we didn't have to talk about it.

00:03:10.080 And that's exactly why I am talking about it.

00:03:12.480 And we'll continue to.

00:03:14.680 But what about the bomb threat?

00:03:16.480 Well, a funny thing happened.

00:03:18.740 The next morning, the story had gone away completely.

00:03:22.260 Like it never happened.

00:03:23.200 Just gone away.

00:03:24.720 Now, you might expect that it would be in the headlines of every mainstream media outlet.

00:03:28.740 That's what I thought.

00:03:30.020 Conservative transphobes attack Children's Hospital.

00:03:32.940 Next thing you know, there's a bomb threat, right?

00:03:34.460 Like that's the headline.

00:03:35.960 It was the headline Tuesday night.

00:03:38.060 By Wednesday morning, it was gone.

00:03:40.920 And that's because as some outlets quietly reported much later last night, police quickly determined that the whole thing was a, quote, false alarm.

00:03:50.300 In fact, according to a report on Boston.com, cops showed up to the scene at 9.20 p.m. and had cleared it by 10 o'clock.

00:04:00.140 40 minutes.

00:04:01.280 And they had determined that it was a false alarm.

00:04:04.000 Now, this does not seem to mean that there was really a threat but no bomb, right?

00:04:09.500 Like somebody called in a threat but then they couldn't find a bomb.

00:04:11.740 That's not what seems to have happened.

00:04:14.480 Because in that case, you'd think it'd take them a little bit longer than just over half an hour to clear the scene.

00:04:19.520 Also, they would still be looking for the culprit who made the threat.

00:04:22.680 Because making a threat, even if there's no bomb, is obviously a crime.

00:04:27.580 But they're not saying that we're looking for anybody.

00:04:29.600 There's no suspect.

00:04:31.320 Instead, they just moved on.

00:04:32.840 And so has the media.

00:04:33.600 And this leaves a lot of unanswered questions and raises an even greater suspicion that perhaps this was less a false alarm and more a hoax meant to demonize the right.

00:04:47.020 Or else maybe it was just a bag that somebody accidentally left in the corner of a hallway somewhere.

00:04:52.900 Or maybe something else.

00:04:54.180 We don't know.

00:04:55.220 We don't know because we haven't been given any more information.

00:04:58.060 And there may be a reason why we haven't been given any more information.

00:05:00.860 Whatever the case, what we can say for sure is that, as always, the left's narrative about the event was wrong.

00:05:09.060 And it was wrong on several levels.

00:05:12.120 And it was intended to defame me and others on the right because defamation and intimidation and emotional blackmail are the only tools they have available in their tool chest.

00:05:23.100 What they cannot do, what they steadfastly refuse to do, is engage on the actual topic.

00:05:30.860 And discuss the issue head on.

00:05:33.660 Instead, they'll continue to demand that we stop talking about it while they come up with ever more elaborate fantasies about the phantom violence and chaos we're supposedly causing simply by talking about it.

00:05:44.820 Now, it's a clever trick, actually, because they claim that children are not being mutilated, that this is all a right-wing fairy tale.

00:05:50.760 And then, when we provide explicit examples to support our claims, they scream that we're promoting violence.

00:05:57.100 Obviously, the tactic here is to create an environment where nobody is allowed to make a counter-argument.

00:06:03.320 The left has rigged the game completely.

00:06:05.100 They're right about everything.

00:06:08.100 And if you provide evidence to prove they aren't right, then you're a terrorist.

00:06:12.680 Which means that, well, effectively, they're still right.

00:06:16.780 That's kind of the choice that they've given us.

00:06:20.200 Like, you can either just accept that you're wrong, or you can be a terrorist.

00:06:24.020 Those are your two options.

00:06:25.900 What the left says to the right is, on the issue of the transing of kids, either just admit that you're wrong and we're right, or you're a terrorist.

00:06:34.580 Those are the only two options.

00:06:35.520 This is what they resort to, because they cannot defend the indefensible, and they know it.

00:06:43.900 After all, what can anyone really say to vindicate, for example, Dr. Scott Mosser of the Gender Confirmation Center in San Francisco?

00:06:54.200 Now, the left says that children are not being surgically transitioned.

00:06:58.480 And yet, Dr. Scott Mosser in San Francisco has a section on his website titled, Adolescent Top Surgery.

00:07:08.260 Mosser assures us that he follows, quote, strict guidelines before operating on a child, which means that he will operate on a child and has many times.

00:07:17.760 Indeed, he provides a range of services to adolescent girls. 0.96

00:07:20.900 He'll chop their breasts off if they want to become boys, even though they can't become boys. 0.99

00:07:25.180 He also offers non-binary procedures for those children who desire to be neither male nor female. 0.99

00:07:32.040 All of this is outlined on his website.

00:07:33.880 It's right there.

00:07:35.180 Chris Ruffeau has looked into Mosser's business as well and found that he charges between $8,500 and $10,000 a pop, generating $20 million in revenue for his clinic.

00:07:45.720 As Ruffeau says, gender ideology is a booming business. 0.99

00:07:48.800 There is millions of dollars involved.

00:07:51.480 Ruffeau also dug up this clip of Mosser himself describing his approach.

00:07:57.900 And I want you to listen to every word of this.

00:07:59.960 Listen.

00:08:01.340 I'm super committed to gender surgery. 0.82

00:08:03.880 In the past, I used to do cosmetic surgery.

00:08:06.120 I'm a board-certified plastic surgeon.

00:08:08.020 And I've always been drawn to things that are deeply impactful.

00:08:10.600 In the GCC, Gender Confirmation Center in San Francisco, we kind of have these, like, secret missions.

00:08:16.560 Now that it's on a slide, these public secret missions, which are, one of them is that we try to live with our values 30 to 40 years in the future.

00:08:26.220 So, and that puts us in a mindset of extreme affirmation, because affirmation at that time is a foregone conclusion.

00:08:33.480 This is a time in the future when gender is just a thing. 1.00

00:08:36.800 Nobody makes a big deal out of it.

00:08:38.240 People are being screened as children and adolescents for their gender journey, and appropriate steps are taken to get them involved in a multidisciplinary process to get them where they need to go.

00:08:47.260 That's the future.

00:08:49.780 I do not have a minimum age of any sort in my practice.

00:08:53.280 There's no chronological age that says you don't get surgery.

00:08:56.380 Now, having said that, I don't think I've ever done a consult on a 12-year-old yet, but we would if one came our way.

00:09:03.420 We just haven't had reason to.

00:09:05.740 And then we've done a number of 13-year-olds who we did consults on.

00:09:09.620 I think I've done one or two 13-year-old surgeries.

00:09:12.260 For the most part, it's 14 and up that by the time everything comes together, plus insurance approval, plus everything, that surgery actually gets completed.

00:09:21.440 We do not require any particular identity.

00:09:24.300 We only require that somebody has gender dysphoria and uses a multidisciplinary process for us to assess that.

00:09:30.560 Do you have a question?

00:09:31.620 Please.

00:09:32.100 Yes.

00:09:32.780 He said, what was the youngest age a transmasculine kid could consider this surgery?

00:09:39.840 So there is no youngest age at all.

00:09:46.040 Yes, he is drawn to things that are deeply impactful, he says.

00:09:52.680 Now, if this man was not a bloodthirsty butcher, we might be able to linger a bit more on that statement and reflect on what a pretentious, pompous, nothing of a person you have to be to make it.

00:10:04.380 But there are more important issues here.

00:10:06.820 Mosser, the butcher of San Francisco, says that he would happily chop the breasts off of a 12-year-old child, a kid in seventh grade.

00:10:14.580 In fact, he would go even younger than that.

00:10:16.500 He says that there's no minimum age, no minimum age at all.

00:10:21.360 Though sadly for him, he's never had the opportunity to get to a child that young.

00:10:25.740 He has had the chance to surgically mutilate a few 13-year-olds and many more kids who are 14 and up, which is what, about ninth grade?

00:10:34.000 Remember, an 18-year-old is not old enough to understand his student loan agreement, but 14-year-olds are able to knowingly consent to having their bodies permanently disfigured.

00:10:46.580 On his website, Mosser offers an FAQ section where he addresses the concern about post-surgery regret.

00:10:54.760 Here's what he says.

00:10:56.360 Satisfaction with surgical results is closely related to the surgeon's skill, patient safety, and matching the procedure to the patient's expectations.

00:11:03.920 What is clear is that transgender visibility has risen dramatically in recent years, along with a number of requests for transition surgery.

00:11:10.620 It is exceptionally rare for patients to regret transitioning genders.

00:11:13.540 Although rare, regret after surgery is often due to the patient's unrealistic expectations, or due to the very rare complications from surgery, or unfortunately due to a poor result executed by an inexperienced surgeon.

00:11:24.360 This is why Dr. Mosser specializes in transgender surgery and emphasizes coordination with the patient's support teams, including physicians, family members, partners, or close friends assisting in the transition.

00:11:33.800 Exceptionally rare, exceptionally rare, he says.

00:11:38.080 But he well knows that he cannot possibly know how common or rare it actually is.

00:11:44.120 Because any study that is done about post-op regret among trans people has focused on adults who had surgery as adults.

00:11:52.800 And even there, the picture is not nearly so rosy as people like Mosser claim, not even close.

00:11:59.280 Which is why trans people are more suicidal, the most suicidal, after surgery, in fact. 1.00

00:12:04.100 But until recently, here's the point.

00:12:06.800 These things were not being done to children, certainly not at the rate and volume that they are now.

00:12:12.080 How many 40-year-olds are walking around out there who had cosmetic mastectomies at 14?

00:12:18.140 Are there any?

00:12:21.700 And so when Mosser performs this procedure on a child and assures the child that she almost certainly will not regret it, he is lying to her.

00:12:31.140 He is giving her assurances that he has no evidentiary basis for.

00:12:36.880 Least of all, a common sense basis.

00:12:40.240 But what does he care?

00:12:42.060 He makes $10,000, rides off into the sunset.

00:12:44.920 Leaving the child to deal with the consequences.

00:12:50.580 The whole thing is so evil and grotesque and indefensible that even its advocates would rather not talk about it.

00:12:58.140 In fact, they demand, in no uncertain terms, that we not talk about it.

00:13:03.900 And they will do anything, anything, to stop us from talking about it.

00:13:11.000 Which is why we need to keep talking about it.

00:13:14.920 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:13:22.740 So Joe Biden gave a speech in Pennsylvania near Scranton where he pretends that he grew up.

00:13:29.440 And of course it involved a fair amount of nonsensical babbling, which you can always expect from Joe Biden.

00:13:34.680 Like there was this moment where he talks about working as a lifeguard in a predominantly black area.

00:13:40.220 Where he says for some reason everyone was good at basketball.

00:13:44.440 Listen.

00:13:44.920 If I can just interject for a moment.

00:13:47.920 My deceased son, Bo, he was the attorney general of the state of Delaware.

00:13:52.440 And what he used to do is go down on the east side, what's called the bucket, highest crime rate in the country.

00:13:59.000 There's a place where I used to, I was the only white guy that worked as a lifeguard down in that area, on the east side.

00:14:04.140 And you know where the, you can always tell where the best basketball in the state is and the best basketball in the city is.

00:14:09.960 It's where everybody shows up.

00:14:11.440 Is that where he met Corn Pop?

00:14:13.780 Isn't that the Corn Pop story was when he was a lifeguard, wasn't it?

00:14:17.720 So this is now that the origin story is coming together.

00:14:20.140 That's where Corn Pop was.

00:14:21.780 And hey, you know, he's just interjecting.

00:14:23.480 Hey, if I could just interject this racially stereotypical story very quickly here.

00:14:27.300 Yeah, I was the only white guy.

00:14:30.100 And if you're the only white guy, that's how you know people are good at basketball.

00:14:34.600 All right.

00:14:35.040 But he made headlines, not so much with that moment, but with this moment where he repudiates the defund the police movement.

00:14:44.440 Listen.

00:14:44.800 You know, I call it the safer America's plan, and both your members of Congress voted for it.

00:14:52.240 It's based on a simple notion.

00:14:54.380 When it comes to public safety in this nation, the answer is not defund the police.

00:14:59.480 It's fund the police.

00:15:02.520 Fund the police.

00:15:05.860 And give them.

00:15:08.260 We expect them to do everything.

00:15:09.900 We expect them to be, to protect us, to be psychologists, and to be sociologists.

00:15:17.300 I mean, we expect you to do everything.

00:15:18.760 I'm not joking.

00:15:20.180 Everything.

00:15:21.180 You realize more police officers are killed dealing with domestic violence than anything else?

00:15:26.760 You realize that?

00:15:28.440 The point is, we ask so much of you.

00:15:32.340 So much of you.

00:15:35.760 I've not met a cop who likes a bad cop.

00:15:40.340 There's bad and everything. 0.81

00:15:42.240 There's lousy senators. 1.00

00:15:43.640 There's lousy presidents. 1.00

00:15:44.860 There's lousy doctors. 1.00

00:15:46.500 There's lousy lawyers. 1.00

00:15:47.740 No, I'm serious.

00:15:50.700 But I don't know any police officer that feels good about the fact that there may be a lousy cop.

00:15:59.640 I'm tired of not giving the kind of help they need.

00:16:02.600 Well, he's right about one thing.

00:16:06.420 There are lousy presidents.

00:16:08.040 He certainly has proven that.

00:16:10.300 It might be the most correct thing he's ever said into a microphone.

00:16:14.000 But a couple of things here.

00:16:15.000 First, what does it say about your party that you can even make a headline by saying that we should fund police departments?

00:16:26.320 Okay, what does it say about your party that this is an applause line?

00:16:30.440 It's a headline?

00:16:32.300 Biden says we should fund police departments.

00:16:35.100 Okay, a politician 10 years ago would be greeted with silence and crickets and kind of confused head scratching if he got up there and said, you know what we should do?

00:16:45.840 We should fund our police departments.

00:16:48.020 Yeah, of course we should.

00:16:53.360 Obviously, we should fund them.

00:16:55.740 What else are we going to do?

00:16:57.540 Defund them?

00:16:58.160 Who would want to do that?

00:16:58.940 Who would be that insane?

00:16:59.940 So I should tell you something about the people that are in your party.

00:17:05.520 But the real point here is the effort to rewrite history.

00:17:10.700 Because I said to introduce the clip that he's repudiating the defund the police movement.

00:17:14.180 That's not exactly correct, actually, because that's not what Biden and the Democrats have been doing over the past year or so.

00:17:21.920 They haven't been going around and saying, wow, you know, we really screwed up with that defund the police stuff.

00:17:26.740 You know, that whole thing?

00:17:27.820 I don't know what got into us.

00:17:29.340 That was crazy.

00:17:31.560 They're not doing that.

00:17:32.100 No, they've just decided to pretend that it never happened.

00:17:37.720 Biden's point here isn't that he's arguing against his own side, holding his own side to account.

00:17:42.660 Now, his point is that the whole defund the police thing is a silly, false narrative, and nobody ever wanted to do that anyway.

00:17:50.320 If you recall, this was a very sudden, when this is what Democrats can do because they have the whole media mechanism behind them that can support them on it.

00:17:57.840 But they just made this sudden switch.

00:18:00.800 It was defund the police, defund the police, defund the police.

00:18:03.200 And then one day, what do you mean?

00:18:04.740 No one ever wanted to defund the police?

00:18:07.260 You were just saying it like 30 seconds ago.

00:18:10.020 No one ever said that.

00:18:11.000 What are you talking about?

00:18:12.660 So that's what this is about.

00:18:16.260 It's about rewriting.

00:18:17.060 It's not about correcting, you know, writing the course, correcting, or anything like that.

00:18:23.440 It's about rewriting history.

00:18:25.280 And that's the message that they want to send, that nobody ever wanted to defund the police.

00:18:31.760 And yet, as this video compilation from RNC Research shows, the history is quite clear, and it also shows that this defund the police madness went all the way up to the White House.

00:18:41.080 So we've been talking about defund the police.

00:18:46.680 There's some issues that we ask police to do, like mental health issues or policing in schools and all the rest, that perhaps we can shuffle some of that money around. 0.98

00:18:56.140 Suck it up. 0.94

00:18:56.680 Defunding the police has to happen. 1.00

00:18:58.720 We need to defund the police.

00:19:00.240 Mayor Eric Garcetti saying, take some of the money from policing, about $150 million.

00:19:04.680 I applaud Eric Garcetti for doing what he's done.

00:19:07.340 Not only do we need to disinvest for in police, but we need to completely dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. 0.97

00:19:15.860 So yes, defund your butts. 1.00

00:19:17.740 Defund you. 0.97

00:19:18.460 Yes, I support the reallocation of resources from NYPD.

00:19:23.580 We will be moving funding from the NYPD to youth initiatives and social services.

00:19:29.420 They are talking about reducing the allocation of resources to that department.

00:19:33.920 And I think every single city in this country ought to be thinking about the same thing.

00:19:39.080 Yes, I support the defund movement.

00:19:40.940 I'm for responsible reallocation of resources.

00:19:44.800 And defund the police.

00:19:45.860 I think you do all those other things.

00:19:47.220 You don't need all the money that's going to the police department.

00:19:49.540 So yeah, I mean, the spirit of it, I do support them.

00:19:53.580 That's a seven minute clip.

00:19:54.660 I think you got it.

00:19:55.620 I mean, if you remember, if you don't have amnesia, then you can recall how this was for a brief glimmer in time.

00:20:02.600 It was a mainstream talking point on the left.

00:20:07.780 Every Democrat with any standing, especially on the national stage, you know, came out in support of it.

00:20:18.100 Some version of defunding the police.

00:20:19.760 Yeah, well, reroute funds.

00:20:20.920 And what made this all the more egregious, aside from just how generally insane it is, is that this is coming from Democrats, who in every other area, when it comes to any other government function, they want more funds to go in.

00:20:38.140 And not only that, but they're quite clear in every other area that the only way to fix a problem when it comes to the government is to give it more funds.

00:20:47.880 The school system.

00:20:49.840 Any problem in the school system that they're willing to acknowledge, how do you fix it?

00:20:55.040 More funds.

00:20:56.100 Give more money.

00:20:56.700 And then law enforcement is the one area where they said, well, if you really want to fix this, stop giving them money at all.

00:21:04.340 Just get rid of it.

00:21:07.720 These people don't want to abolish any aspect of government except local police departments.

00:21:13.360 The only area.

00:21:14.200 If you doubt they're trying to rewrite history, here's a report from CBS tweeted out by one of their reporters who captioned this, captioned it.

00:21:26.020 The economy is the top concern, but how to fight crime and gun violence ranks high with likely voters.

00:21:32.300 And now Biden and Democrats are arguing that they are the tough on crime party.

00:21:38.740 They're the tough on crime party.

00:21:39.940 Let's watch a little bit of this report.

00:21:41.280 On the airwaves in states like Pennsylvania.

00:21:46.100 John Fetterman wants to release convicted murderers from prison.

00:21:49.760 Public safety is why I ran for office.

00:21:52.400 And now on the stump.

00:21:54.380 I'm opposed to defunding the police.

00:21:55.980 I'm also opposed to defunding the FBI.

00:21:58.960 How to fight crime and gun violence are taking center stage.

00:22:03.260 During a stop in Pennsylvania Tuesday, President Biden attacked those Republicans who've called for defunding the FBI.

00:22:09.160 In response to its search of former President Donald Trump's home in Florida.

00:22:13.980 Trump 2020.

00:22:15.060 And denounced Republicans who defend rioters at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.

00:22:20.220 You can't be pro-law enforcement and pro-insurrection.

00:22:24.860 You can't be a party of law and order.

00:22:26.880 And call the people who attacked the police on January 6th.

00:22:32.700 Patriots.

00:22:33.860 The increased focus on law enforcement, crime and guns on both sides of the aisle comes as the majority of likely voters see crime and guns as very important issues.

00:22:42.180 There you go.

00:22:42.500 So Democrats, they're actually the tough on crime party.

00:22:45.280 Now, as I've already explained to you, there's a big difference between wanting to defund the FBI or even abolish the FBI and saying that about local police departments.

00:22:54.640 Because we know what local police departments do, even if there's corruption in local police departments, which obviously sometimes there is.

00:23:02.540 But even if there's corruption, we know what local police departments do.

00:23:05.460 We know why they're necessary.

00:23:07.000 We know what happens when they don't have enough funding.

00:23:10.420 We know what happens when they aren't doing their job, either because they got their hands tied and they're told that they're not supposed to or whatever.

00:23:16.340 We know what happens.

00:23:17.600 Like when the police aren't on the scene, we know what happens because we're seeing it right now.

00:23:22.700 Well, what happens if there's no FBI?

00:23:24.580 Well, let's just say, hypothetically, let's say the FBI evaporated tomorrow and it didn't exist anymore.

00:23:32.360 Does that lead to chaos and anarchy across the country?

00:23:35.380 Does it?

00:23:36.740 I don't necessarily see any reason why it would.

00:23:38.480 Especially when there are so many, there's so much overlap among these federal agencies that are engaged in various alleged forms of law enforcement.

00:23:49.960 There's so many agencies with people that have guns and badges running around doing this and that.

00:23:55.760 And so do we need all of them?

00:23:58.300 How much redundancy is there?

00:23:59.640 That's a good question.

00:24:01.740 There is no question about whether we need local police departments.

00:24:06.020 That's the difference.

00:24:06.620 Now, the tough on crime party.

00:24:12.500 Okay, that's interesting.

00:24:13.680 So here's a thread from Andy Ngo, published this yesterday.

00:24:18.640 He says, after supporting streetcar takeovers in Portland, one of Antifa's friends was killed when a stray bullet aimed at an elderly driver caught on the road hit someone on their own side.

00:24:28.900 What a tragedy.

00:24:29.860 Antifa are asking for money for the victim's family.

00:24:33.920 The victim, right.

00:24:37.040 Actually, and it might actually be a tragedy because there is a real victim here, which is the elderly man.

00:24:41.980 He continues, says, video of a street takeover near the Portland Expo Center on August 28th shows an elderly driver in a van trying to flee.

00:24:47.660 The rioters shot up his vehicle and shoot him.

00:24:51.560 So there is a victim, the elderly man who was shot.

00:24:54.320 His condition is unknown.

00:24:56.440 Bullets by the rioters hit two on their own side, killing one.

00:25:00.040 Police made no arrests.

00:25:02.240 Also on August 28th, rioters took over another part of Portland for a streetcar event at the intersection of Northeast 72nd and Sandy.

00:25:08.680 They used flamethrowers.

00:25:10.760 Police did not make arrests because of historic low staffing numbers following 2020 Antifa riots.

00:25:16.760 So Antifa are in the street.

00:25:19.340 This is not the first time we've seen this.

00:25:20.980 They've been doing this for years.

00:25:22.800 They take over a street.

00:25:24.820 And if you try to drive down the street, they stop you. 0.98

00:25:27.660 And if you don't listen to their orders, they will kill you.

00:25:31.760 And not arrested.

00:25:34.020 You have people in Antifa shooting people in cars on video and no arrest is made.

00:25:45.560 Oh, the Democrats are tough on crime, all right?

00:25:48.180 And it's the right-wing radicals we have to worry about.

00:25:54.640 Where are the right-wing radicals across the country in the middle of the street with guns,

00:25:59.000 stopping cars and shooting people at will?

00:26:01.780 Where is that happening?

00:26:04.020 All right.

00:26:06.200 From Daily Wired says,

00:26:07.680 Los Angeles County officials said Tuesday that a guaranteed basic income program has begun to roll out

00:26:12.760 with 1,000 residents now receiving $1,000 a month until 2025.

00:26:19.760 Fox LA reports the recipients for the program were chosen randomly out of more than 180,000 applicants.

00:26:25.920 Supervisor Sheila Kuhl said that given the number of county residents who applied,

00:26:30.680 it's abundantly clear that the time has come for the program.

00:26:34.020 She says,

00:26:34.880 I'm confident that we will see what other pilots have already shown,

00:26:37.560 that a guaranteed basic income by giving people a bit of financial breathing room

00:26:40.520 allows them to stabilize their lives and that of their families.

00:26:44.100 Now, it's being reported that this is a universal basic income, but it's actually not universal at all.

00:26:52.840 So it can't really be considered a pilot program or a test flight for universal basic income where everybody gets money.

00:26:59.880 That's what universal basic income is.

00:27:02.140 That's what Andrew Yang was out yammering about, right?

00:27:05.700 It's give everybody gets a certain amount of money.

00:27:08.440 That's not what this actually is.

00:27:12.800 But whether we're talking about a universal basic income or a guaranteed basic income,

00:27:17.160 which is what they're doing in Los Angeles, it's a terrible idea for a lot of reasons.

00:27:21.440 And by the way, none of these reasons can be mitigated by the fact that lots of people want it.

00:27:29.540 Because what we heard from the county supervisor there was that, well, we offered free money

00:27:35.600 and lots of people applied and wanted it.

00:27:38.780 So clearly that shows that we need to have this program.

00:27:41.180 The fact that lots of people want free money, that doesn't surprise me.

00:27:44.520 I know people want free money.

00:27:45.680 That I understand.

00:27:47.520 That in and of itself does not prove that we should be giving free money to everybody.

00:27:52.080 That's just like if I, you know, gave out, had cake, pieces of cake, and I said,

00:27:56.920 hey, everybody, come get free cake.

00:27:58.600 And the next thing you know, all the cake is gone.

00:28:00.060 And I said, well, everybody wanted cake.

00:28:01.680 That obviously proves that cake is good for you.

00:28:04.960 I mean, why do people want it if it's not?

00:28:08.640 No, it's actually a terrible idea for a lot of reasons.

00:28:10.520 First of all, it's prohibitively expensive, especially when you try to scale it.

00:28:15.580 This is why the experiment has failed where it was tried in Finland, for example, Canada, and other places.

00:28:23.400 It actually, there's no such thing as free money, it turns out.

00:28:26.320 Money has to come from somewhere.

00:28:28.020 And it's a lot of money.

00:28:30.040 And the money just, it's, the cost is astronomical and it's prohibitive.

00:28:33.920 So that's one problem.

00:28:35.060 The other problem, obviously, is inflation.

00:28:36.780 Now, Andrew Yang, when he went around talking about this, he said, oh, I don't have to worry about inflation.

00:28:40.520 Just like we didn't have to worry about inflation during COVID when they were giving out the stimulus checks to everybody.

00:28:45.620 They said, it's not going to cause inflation.

00:28:46.780 Next thing you know, we have sky-high inflation.

00:28:49.440 No, it's just, there are some, and I'm no economist, but I know there are basic economic laws.

00:28:53.380 And when you give money to everyone, then the prices, the laws of supply and demand, the laws of the marketplace will always lead to prices going up.

00:29:04.820 There's also no oversight on how the money is spent.

00:29:07.120 So, and this is a problem with many welfare programs, but especially something like this.

00:29:14.620 I think what they're doing in Los Angeles is that they're giving people a debit card and just saying, well, here you go.

00:29:20.400 And maybe some people will spend it responsibly.

00:29:22.800 Lots of people are going to go, you know, you go buy cigarettes and alcohol and that sort of thing.

00:29:25.920 It's hard to see how that helps.

00:29:29.480 But the biggest issue is disincentivizing work.

00:29:36.300 Okay, and this is another thing that we saw during COVID when you start giving money to everyone and, you know, expanding and extending unemployment, extending it again and again and again, making it more and more comfortable for people to not work.

00:29:49.000 Then what happens? People don't work.

00:29:51.860 And when you don't have people working, then society starts to break down.

00:29:57.400 Businesses can't stay open.

00:29:59.620 Businesses start closing.

00:30:01.100 Then the things that people need are not available to them anymore because there's no one there to provide them.

00:30:07.660 In order for them to be provided, you need people to work.

00:30:11.220 Now, what the left is always trying to do is get around the fact that life requires work.

00:30:16.980 This is why I always feel I always have to give my dad's speech because this is a speech that many people on the left never got because they weren't raised by dad.

00:30:24.620 They didn't have dads in the home.

00:30:25.400 It's one of the problems here.

00:30:27.460 There's a classic dad's speech about you have to work.

00:30:32.340 That's life.

00:30:34.860 There's no way around it.

00:30:38.280 And the more comfortable you make people in not working, the worse things are.

00:30:43.600 And the more strain you put on the few people remaining who do work.

00:30:50.480 Because again, this is a basic fact of life.

00:30:53.000 In order for you to survive, there has to be work done to prop up your existence.

00:31:00.500 And if you are not going to do it, then someone else has to do it.

00:31:04.080 If nobody at all is doing any kind of work, then everyone just dies.

00:31:09.720 That's it.

00:31:12.360 The only way around that is for some people to not work and then forcing other people to work for them.

00:31:17.700 Working for themselves and others as well.

00:31:19.480 And I don't know.

00:31:27.400 I think we know historically that systems where you force people to work for you are highly unethical, let's just say.

00:31:36.900 All right, moving into this.

00:31:37.700 Talk about rewriting history.

00:31:38.820 Here is Governor Tim Waltz, a Democrat in Minnesota, talking about the shutdown of schools.

00:31:49.220 You remember that, don't you?

00:31:50.380 Just like we remember the defund the police movement.

00:31:53.680 Well, apparently it never happened.

00:31:54.940 Did you know that?

00:31:56.020 We hallucinated it.

00:31:57.760 The schools were never actually shut down.

00:31:59.280 Listen to the governor.

00:32:01.480 Would you have done the schools any differently?

00:32:03.460 Because I think that's where a lot of parents are upset about what happened with the schools.

00:32:07.360 Do you think you could have made any other choice?

00:32:10.200 Well, I think just to be clear, over 80% of our students missed less than 10 days of in-class learning.

00:32:15.440 The vast majority of students were in.

00:32:17.420 It depended, again, on population density.

00:32:20.200 Many of these decisions were being made by local folks to be able to do what was necessary to keep them there.

00:32:26.140 I think, again, in hindsight, if we could have known that we would get vaccinations out as quickly as possible,

00:32:32.860 we prioritize teachers and the staff in schools to get there.

00:32:36.220 We're doing it differently now.

00:32:38.800 And since May of 2021, almost every one of our students has been in the entire time and been doing that.

00:32:45.860 So I think with hindsight as 2020, perhaps we could have tailored a little bit closer to that.

00:32:52.320 But the fact of the matter is making the case that we shouldn't have done anything is simply wrong.

00:32:57.720 Oh, man.

00:32:58.280 It's got to be so good to be a Democrat.

00:32:59.840 It's just no accountability.

00:33:01.560 You can say anything at all.

00:33:02.880 And it's got to be so nice.

00:33:07.700 It's the exact opposite situation from being on the right where every word you say publicly, people are sifting through it.

00:33:14.740 And every little statement is getting pulled apart and fact-checked and everything.

00:33:18.900 But you're on the left.

00:33:19.740 You don't have that at all.

00:33:20.380 You can just say anything at all.

00:33:21.320 So he could sit there and say that 80% of students missed fewer than 10 days of in-class learning.

00:33:30.740 What?

00:33:32.180 That the schools were shut down at a minimum for the remainder of 2020 after COVID hit.

00:33:40.120 And that's on the lower end of it.

00:33:43.880 And then if we recall, going into the school season after the summer, it was a big fight about whether schools were going to open.

00:33:54.200 And in many places, such as in Minnesota, they didn't.

00:33:58.840 So he said kids, well, they missed less than 10 days.

00:34:03.140 No, they missed like a year.

00:34:04.440 And he even admits that later on because he says, well, as of May of 2021, kids have been in school.

00:34:11.940 Yeah, but COVID hit in March of 2020.

00:34:15.200 There's over a year in between that, governor.

00:34:19.320 And whoever's interviewing him lets him get away with that.

00:34:22.400 I only missed 10 days.

00:34:23.520 What are you talking about?

00:34:25.480 That's what it should have been.

00:34:28.000 That's what we were originally told.

00:34:29.260 Well, no, we were told 15 days, right?

00:34:30.580 We're going to do 15 days and then we'll get back to our lives.

00:34:34.440 It's amazing.

00:34:36.840 We always thought like, how are they going to, they told us 15 days is slow to spread.

00:34:39.780 It became, it became 300 days or whatever.

00:34:42.640 How are they going to account for that?

00:34:43.880 Well, they're just going to pretend that it really was 15 days.

00:34:51.760 All right.

00:34:52.440 I want to mention this too.

00:34:53.260 This is the Daily Wire.

00:34:54.100 It says Gibson's Bakery, a family-owned bakery that has operated in Oberlin, Ohio since 1885,

00:35:02.300 received a major win in its ongoing feud with Oberlin College, which encouraged and supported

00:35:07.240 students and faculty falsely accusing the bakery of racism in 2016.

00:35:12.160 It says a jury awarded the bakery $36 million in damages after Oberlin's sustained campaign

00:35:17.200 against the shop and the college fought the verdict with every tool at its disposal.

00:35:20.680 The state Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear Oberlin's appeal, meaning the school

00:35:24.340 will finally have to pay the bakery that it has nearly put out of business.

00:35:28.260 Gibson's family attorney told the Daily Wire in a statement, truth still matters.

00:35:31.060 David can still overcome Goliath.

00:35:32.860 We in the Gibson family are gratified that all judges in the Court of Appeals, the majority

00:35:35.880 of the Ohio Supreme Court, recognize the rights of individuals rather than the bullying

00:35:40.060 tactics of the big institutions.

00:35:42.300 In April, an appeals court upheld the multimillion dollar verdict, the Daily Wire reported, but

00:35:46.000 the college appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court and they lost there as well.

00:35:50.440 So they're going to have to pay out $36 million in damages for having almost put this business

00:35:57.560 out of business.

00:35:58.680 Now, what happened here?

00:36:01.100 That's the end of the story.

00:36:02.620 That's the happy ending.

00:36:04.300 We don't get a lot of those, so we should celebrate them when they happen.

00:36:08.440 But what led to this?

00:36:09.800 If you don't remember this story, because there are so many fake racism stories, it's hard

00:36:13.760 to keep them all straight.

00:36:15.120 Why was this bakery being accused of racism?

00:36:19.500 Well, it's very simple, actually.

00:36:20.640 You can tell the story in like two sentences.

00:36:22.800 Some non-white Oberlin students went to the business a few years ago, tried to steal alcohol

00:36:29.180 from the business. 0.87

00:36:30.340 They were stealing.

00:36:31.760 Someone at the bakery in the Gibson family stopped them from stealing.

00:36:35.800 And that's it. 0.95

00:36:39.040 That's why they're racist. 0.97

00:36:41.880 Because a white person at a business tried to stop some non-white people from stealing 0.93

00:36:47.720 from them and therefore they're racist. 0.64

00:36:52.760 Next thing you know, there are protests.

00:36:54.460 There's everything else.

00:36:55.140 And Oberlin College itself as an institution is putting all of its weight behind destroying 0.99

00:37:01.260 this business and these people simply because they wouldn't allow black students to steal 1.00

00:37:07.000 from them. 0.96

00:37:09.760 Why else would you stop someone from stealing from you except racism?

00:37:14.760 Right? 0.96

00:37:15.200 Because the Gibson family, they invite white people to steal from them. 1.00

00:37:19.700 They have a sign on the door saying, oh, white people are allowed to steal. 0.99

00:37:22.920 If they saw a white person walking out the door with something, they'd say, oh, hey, stop, 0.98

00:37:26.580 sir. 0.99

00:37:26.840 Oh, wait, you're white. 0.98

00:37:27.580 Never mind. 0.92

00:37:27.880 Go ahead.

00:37:28.240 Go ahead.

00:37:28.520 Do you want more?

00:37:28.980 You want to grab this over here too?

00:37:29.900 You can have that as well.

00:37:30.460 You want some money from the cash register?

00:37:32.020 I mean, if you're white, you can have it. 0.66

00:37:35.640 That's basically the situation that the, that's the picture that Oberlin College as an institution

00:37:40.100 wanted to paint.

00:37:41.060 And now they got to pay out.

00:37:43.880 Which is great, but it's also discouraging in another way.

00:37:51.260 If you want to look at the, if you want to look at the black cloud within the silver lining,

00:37:54.740 as I often tend to do, it's also kind of discouraging because of what they were so

00:38:00.400 clearly defamed and victimized here.

00:38:03.080 They're so clearly in the right, so clearly the victims, and yet it took them years and

00:38:07.380 I don't know how much money to be vindicated.

00:38:09.480 And most people who are put in this situation don't have the resources to fight like that.

00:38:14.740 And so they're defamed and their lives are destroyed and then the mob just moves on to the next person.

00:38:21.500 All right, let's, let's brighten the mood a little bit.

00:38:25.680 I want, I want you to watch this.

00:38:26.980 This is something inspiring.

00:38:28.480 Here's a man entering a girls basketball tournament.

00:38:32.080 This is not someone who, as far as I know, identifies as trans.

00:38:35.260 This is, this is just a dude.

00:38:36.940 It's just a dude who decided to take advantage of our current mania and have some fun with it.

00:38:42.280 And here's what that looked like.

00:38:44.160 I'm about to literally make history.

00:38:45.620 Time to go for third.

00:38:46.940 Oh my God, Cuddy.

00:38:49.460 Dynasty on three, one, two, three, four.

00:38:50.820 Dynasty.

00:38:51.720 Don't break my nail.

00:39:00.680 Raise the roof.

00:39:05.160 I did it.

00:39:06.040 Oh my God.

00:39:09.800 Too little.

00:39:11.000 Too little.

00:39:12.280 Oh, you're not doing that again.

00:39:20.500 Good pass.

00:39:21.640 Yeah, we outside.

00:39:22.360 Shout out home team hoops.

00:39:23.620 I'm not worrying you.

00:39:26.500 I'm going to hang on the end.

00:39:33.000 I'm going to hang on the end.

00:39:33.840 Number one.

00:39:40.120 Oh my God.

00:39:41.100 That is inspiring.

00:39:45.660 I mean, this is a brave and bold young lady.

00:39:50.260 She is a hero for living her truth.

00:39:53.460 And I hope she goes on to dominate the WNBA. 1.00

00:39:58.420 That's what I hope.

00:40:00.320 A true pioneer.

00:40:02.380 Don't stop here, young lady. 0.98

00:40:04.820 Continue.

00:40:05.200 Let's get to the comment section.

00:40:08.580 Who makes a Twitter mob fly off the handle with rage?

00:40:13.280 Who's to blame?

00:40:14.660 Who's to blame?

00:40:16.740 It's a sweet baby gang.

00:40:19.740 Um, I'll tell you one thing before we get to the comments, because this is another thing I'm going through in my life.

00:40:27.500 And I think it'll be important for you to hear.

00:40:29.740 So two nights ago, it's about 1130.

00:40:31.220 Um, my wife is in bed and she's not asleep yet.

00:40:35.720 I don't think.

00:40:36.260 But even if she was, I had, like, I had to talk to her about something that was really important.

00:40:40.100 And I told her that I've been really bothered for a long time now by the fact that my socks, which are very important to me, always get lost in the wash.

00:40:52.740 Now, everyone knows this.

00:40:53.860 It's a classic complaint, of course.

00:40:56.140 You put a pair of socks in the wash and somehow only one emerges, right?

00:40:59.780 We all know that.

00:41:00.740 And for someone like myself, it puts a lot of thought and effort and love into building a sock collection.

00:41:07.680 This is a very challenging thing for me.

00:41:09.080 So I, so what I was trying to explain to my wife is like, I came up with a system and, uh, and I was trying to tell her this at 1130 at night.

00:41:15.840 I bought a special sock bag on Amazon.

00:41:18.360 And the system is that I will, as I explained to her throughout the week, I'll deposit my socks, the, you know, both pairs of socks after I use them into the bag, which will remain in my closet until the end of the week.

00:41:29.540 At which point the socks will be while still in the bag will be transported to the laundry room.

00:41:35.720 Um, and now here's where things get tricky because the bag is porous.

00:41:39.080 My hope is that they can be washed inside the bag.

00:41:42.740 And then that way we know we're not going to have any problems.

00:41:45.860 If that doesn't work, then they'll be taken out of the bag, put into the wash, then to the dryer, and then transported back to my sock drawer.

00:41:55.000 They'll not put them back inside the bag because that's for my dirty socks, right?

00:41:57.900 Um, the most important point here is that they never go in a hamper ever under any circumstance and they must not be washed with other items because when you do that, that's when you lose them and they're just lost.

00:42:11.900 Okay.

00:42:12.460 And a, and a pair of socks that I bought or that I got for my sock subscription service, which I do have, um, is, is now gone.

00:42:20.040 And so this is the system I came up with.

00:42:21.880 I'm trying to explain all this to her and she just starts laughing at me and making fun of my quote, girly sock bag. 0.97

00:42:33.380 And then she said, well, if it's so important to you, just wash the socks yourself.

00:42:38.200 To which I said, let's not get carried away here.

00:42:41.580 Okay.

00:42:41.940 This is a team, team effort.

00:42:43.320 And it just goes to show that sometimes, here's the point.

00:42:47.140 This is why I'm telling you this.

00:42:49.160 Sometimes in a marriage, your priorities don't always match up.

00:42:52.560 And that's where some challenges come.

00:42:54.180 But we're going to work through this together.

00:42:56.020 Whether she likes it or not, we're going to keep talking about the sock problem until we have a solution.

00:43:00.760 That's, that's teamwork in a marriage. 0.56

00:43:02.840 Um, Kayla says, I can't believe people were arguing with Matt about his statement on, well, you could just, you could stop right there.

00:43:09.960 I can't believe people are arguing with Matt.

00:43:11.940 And that's enough.

00:43:13.320 I agree with you.

00:43:14.660 I can't believe they're arguing about the homeless people.

00:43:16.980 I work at a mental health agency as a crisis worker.

00:43:19.060 And every week, homeless people come to us asking for housing after they've already been kicked out of every shelter for either drug use or fighting.

00:43:26.400 They get mad when we tell them that we can't help them when they've already gone through every community resource.

00:43:31.580 I would feel so, I would feel so sorry for any hotel owner forced to give them free rooms and destroy their business.

00:43:38.720 Yeah, you could just, this is, to talk to anyone who's worked with homeless people.

00:43:43.880 Which is an admirable vocation, of course, an important one.

00:43:48.560 But you talk to anyone who's worked in that environment and there's just no question, no argument about it.

00:43:55.920 Drug use, mental illness, all these things.

00:43:57.700 You, as I've been saying, there's a reason people end up homeless and it's not simply social injustice and it's very rarely is it a matter of simple misfortune or bad luck.

00:44:14.960 There's a deeper reason and you don't have to work with a particular homeless person for very long to figure out what the reason is.

00:44:21.040 Most of the time it's drugs.

00:44:22.160 Kathy with a C says, if I ever find myself laying on an operating table, I want the most diverse OR staff hovering over my exposed innards.

00:44:32.840 Only then will I know that our country has made real progress.

00:44:36.380 That is, yeah, when you go, just like anything else, right?

00:44:39.620 You're going into an operation, you want to make sure, that's what you're thinking about.

00:44:42.720 How diverse is this stuff?

00:44:45.140 You get onto an airplane, that's the most important thing to you, is we're disadvantaged minorities given an opportunity to fly this plane.

00:44:54.540 That's all I care about.

00:44:59.820 Let's see, back ghetto Latina, that's Latinx, first of all, back ghetto Latinx. 0.96

00:45:07.800 Cassville isn't the only school to do this.

00:45:09.580 My school, a kid's school, has had this in effect since before they started there.

00:45:14.580 That's corporal punishment referring to.

00:45:16.300 The oldest is in seventh grade.

00:45:17.460 The administrators had to use it once, years before my kids started.

00:45:21.000 The fear kept them in check.

00:45:22.220 Cassville is a heavy Republican district.

00:45:24.120 It's a rural area, just like my area.

00:45:26.820 Even with the permission slip, the administration has to call the parents to make sure it's okay and tell them what their child has done.

00:45:32.860 There's supposed to be a staff member removed from the situation that uses the paddle with a witness present to make sure it's not overdone.

00:45:39.940 It's a last resort.

00:45:41.240 Again, I can understand the inclination, especially among schools, to have a kind of last resort because all the other disciplinary methods don't work.

00:45:51.300 But like we talked about yesterday, among other things, it requires a trust between parents and the school officials that I certainly wouldn't have if my kids were going to public school.

00:46:06.480 I just can't trust you to use physical force on my child.

00:46:09.100 There are so many reasons why I can't trust you.

00:46:13.520 And also, my other question is, if you as a parent would approve corporal punishment being used against your child by a school official, then that tells me that you have no problem with corporal punishment.

00:46:27.920 So then why wouldn't you just be the one to administer it?

00:46:32.880 So no matter how you slice it, I don't understand farming it out to the school system.

00:46:39.100 Many questions.

00:46:40.860 You know, the time is upon us for another backstage happening tonight at 6 p.m. Central, 7 p.m. Eastern.

00:46:45.260 And it's about time because there's more news than ever to discuss.

00:46:48.580 If you've never seen backstage before, it's where I get together with my Daily Wire cohorts, including Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh.

00:46:56.960 Me, I'm one of the cohorts.

00:46:58.800 Just keep going.

00:46:59.280 It doesn't matter.

00:46:59.780 No, no, we'll keep going.

00:47:01.300 Including Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, Andrew Klavan, and God King Jeremy Borg.

00:47:05.760 So who is supposed to be giving this copy?

00:47:07.280 If I just listed all the cohorts, who is this copy written for?

00:47:13.220 Anyway, jokes will be cracked.

00:47:15.080 Cigars will be smoked.

00:47:16.700 Copy will be butchered.

00:47:17.860 Libations will be imbibed.

00:47:19.440 You definitely don't want to miss this one.

00:47:21.220 So tune in to join us for backstage tonight at 6 p.m. Central, 7 p.m. Eastern at dailywireplus.com.

00:47:27.940 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:47:29.360 You know, many conservatives, when we are younger, we will inevitably experiment with libertarianism.

00:47:40.700 We dabble in that particular political ideology, finding that it appeals to our young, underdeveloped brains.

00:47:47.460 We start answering every difficult social question with the statement, hey man, just get the government out of it.

00:47:53.520 We buy the book Atlas Shrugged and tell everyone that we read it, even though we never even glanced at the first page.

00:47:59.560 These are the follies of youth.

00:48:01.300 And most of us, as we get older, we grow out of that phase and we feel embarrassed by it.

00:48:06.100 The same way that people who grew up in the 70s feel embarrassed about having owned a pet rock.

00:48:09.880 And the way people that grew up in the 80s should feel embarrassed about, well, everything that happened in that decade.

00:48:15.360 But there are some grown adults who, sadly, never graduate.

00:48:20.620 They never evolve.

00:48:21.540 They never grow out of it. 1.00

00:48:22.920 They end up looking as ridiculous and awkward as a 50-year-old man in a backwards hat. 0.93

00:48:27.080 And that's what brings us to Kim Iverson, who's a pundit of some kind with a decent social media following, 0.97

00:48:33.260 who seems to have attracted an audience of conservatives who believe that she's on their side,

00:48:38.160 largely because she doesn't like the vaccine and she says nice things about Donald Trump.

00:48:43.120 Those are the two things I've noticed, apparently.

00:48:45.640 Maybe there are other things as well.

00:48:47.080 But those two things in particular have attracted conservatives to her.

00:48:50.240 And that's why she has some kind of audience. 0.78

00:48:51.780 I don't know how big it is.

00:48:52.940 And that's all well and good. 1.00

00:48:54.460 But it won't save her now that she has torched her credibility and revealed herself to be an amoral idiot 1.00

00:49:00.680 and every other kind of idiot, too. 1.00

00:49:03.860 Kim responded to my tweet about Dr. Scott Mosser, 1.00

00:49:07.320 the butcher who chops the breasts off of adolescent girls, with this rebuttal.

00:49:11.420 This is what she said. 0.97

00:49:13.900 It's their body, their choice.

00:49:15.780 If their parents or anyone is pressuring them, let them live with that and take it up with them later.

00:49:21.300 It's none of our business how others choose to live their lives.

00:49:24.980 Yes, her response to doctors removing the body parts of physically healthy children is their body, their choice.

00:49:31.780 From here, Kim launched into a series of tweets frantically searching for some way to defend cosmetic double mastectomies on teen girls. 1.00

00:49:39.940 She had thrown down the gauntlet, put down her marker, climbed atop the girls should have their breasts removed hill, 1.00

00:49:47.720 and decided that she would die on it.

00:49:50.360 That's what it took.

00:49:51.820 Reading through the tweets that follow, she wrote, just going through a series of these,

00:49:56.320 16-year-old girls get nose jobs all the time. 1.00

00:49:59.400 Where's your outrage?

00:50:01.000 Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

00:50:02.000 Again, personal choice.

00:50:03.380 I'm all for personal freedom.

00:50:05.100 Live and let live, even if it leads to regret.

00:50:07.820 If it's what they want to do, it's what they want to do.

00:50:11.000 I'm not for controlling others because I personally think it's morally wrong.

00:50:15.020 You guys, we're talking about boob jobs.

00:50:17.780 Let's keep things in perspective.

00:50:18.840 It's literally none of your business if a woman chooses to enlarge them or shrink them. 1.00

00:50:24.320 From there, she became even more incoherent and desperate,

00:50:27.220 accusing me of being a triggered snowflake for opposing the mutilation of children,

00:50:31.280 which, by the way, Kim, yes, I am triggered by child abuse.

00:50:34.660 I admit.

00:50:35.880 I'm triggered by it.

00:50:37.060 I find it quite upsetting, even.

00:50:39.120 I'm even offended by it.

00:50:40.380 I am offended by the brutalization of children.

00:50:44.140 I am.

00:50:44.800 I admit it.

00:50:45.440 And then she started crying that she was the victim of conservative cancel culture

00:50:50.020 because people were criticizing her for her views.

00:50:52.620 Finally, in one last blow to whatever credibility she may have still been clinging to,

00:50:57.560 she asserted that not only can minors consent to having their breasts removed, 0.94

00:51:01.200 but they can also consent to sex. 0.97

00:51:03.260 She posted, quote, 0.61

00:51:04.620 Minors actually can consent to sex. 0.71

00:51:07.120 Each state has its own laws on this.

00:51:10.000 Later that night, she posted a lengthy Twitter thread

00:51:12.160 trying to defend her depraved views in more detail, writing, quote,

00:51:15.440 Today proved it.

00:51:16.940 Conservatives are no different than woke liberals.

00:51:19.380 They just choose different topics to be outraged over.

00:51:22.220 And in their minds, just like to woke liberals,

00:51:24.980 this is different, this is immoral and must be stopped.

00:51:28.320 My stance is clear.

00:51:29.560 I don't think the government should interfere or be involved

00:51:31.800 in the consensual medical decisions of others.

00:51:34.220 I don't know what others are going through,

00:51:35.860 and I don't believe that I, nor the government,

00:51:38.000 should be telling others what's best for them.

00:51:41.400 Yes, who's to say what's best for anyone?

00:51:44.360 If a girl's having her breasts chapped off, 1.00

00:51:46.540 maybe that's best for her.

00:51:47.440 If a kid is playing in the street about to get hit by a truck,

00:51:50.780 don't interfere.

00:51:51.540 After all, it's what he wants to do,

00:51:53.560 and it may be best for him.

00:51:55.320 Who are we to impose our anti-getting-hit-by-truck views

00:51:58.440 on that child?

00:51:59.500 That would be rude.

00:52:00.760 That would be oppressive.

00:52:02.640 Indeed, if we were to prevent the child

00:52:04.240 from being killed in traffic,

00:52:06.080 we would be no better than the woke leftists,

00:52:08.660 constantly trying to impose our subjective views on others.

00:52:11.420 What are you, some kind of snowflake,

00:52:13.160 outraged about kids getting hit by cars?

00:52:15.180 You snowflake? 1.00

00:52:17.780 Cancel culture.

00:52:18.740 You're trying to cancel people who hit children with their cars.

00:52:22.240 Stop canceling them.

00:52:24.860 Great points, Kim.

00:52:26.740 You have the moral insight of a lizard,

00:52:29.280 and you should be quite proud. 0.88

00:52:31.820 Now, there's too much nonsense here to handle,

00:52:34.580 but we'll do our best to pick through it.

00:52:36.140 First of all, to clarify our terms here,

00:52:40.740 top surgery, quote-unquote, is a double mastectomy. 0.98

00:52:43.900 A double mastectomy is not a boob job. 0.99

00:52:46.780 The breasts are not being enlarged,

00:52:48.300 nor are they being reduced.

00:52:50.140 They're being removed.

00:52:51.980 The breast tissue, the mammary glands,

00:52:53.740 all of it is being cut off.

00:52:55.640 The procedure, unlike breast implants, 0.89

00:52:57.560 which I also would oppose for children,

00:52:59.940 because I'm not a disgusting creep,

00:53:02.140 but unlike implants, a mastectomy is not reversible.

00:53:04.680 A person who has this procedure and regrets it,

00:53:07.560 as many do and many, many more will,

00:53:10.520 as this current crop of children become adults,

00:53:13.520 they can, for a large fee,

00:53:15.620 try to reconstruct some approximation

00:53:17.480 of something that looks like female breasts, 0.99

00:53:19.420 but they will never have female breasts ever again. 0.96

00:53:22.080 They'll never be able to nurse their children.

00:53:24.360 All of that is gone forever,

00:53:26.100 based on a choice they made when they were adolescents.

00:53:29.720 But can they make a choice like that as a child?

00:53:33.020 That's the question.

00:53:33.660 Kim says they can.

00:53:35.120 And she cites the fact that the age of consent

00:53:37.360 in some states is 16.

00:53:40.200 Now, the problem with this approach is that,

00:53:41.740 first of all, children are being subjected

00:53:43.760 to medical and surgical gender transitions

00:53:45.460 much younger than 16.

00:53:47.280 Dr. Scott Mosser is doing it at 14, at 13.

00:53:49.500 He would do it at 12.

00:53:50.400 He would do it at any age.

00:53:53.180 Second, the age of consent in California is 18.

00:53:56.760 Yet Dr. Scott Mosser is operating in California

00:53:59.400 on girls who allegedly consent to having their breasts removed

00:54:04.100 at 16 or younger.

00:54:06.920 Third, even if the age of consent is 16 in some states,

00:54:09.920 like in Vermont, I think it's 16, for example.

00:54:11.780 Does that mean that it's actually morally right automatically?

00:54:18.160 I mean, the age of consent in Vermont is 16.

00:54:22.920 So is it okay for a 50-year-old man to have sex with a 16-year-old in that state?

00:54:27.040 Just because that's what it says on paper?

00:54:31.380 What would you say about such a man, Kim?

00:54:34.680 What if you had a 16-year-old daughter?

00:54:35.960 You'd be okay with her dating a 50-year-old?

00:54:41.040 Because, oh, she can do what she wants.

00:54:42.480 It's an age of consent.

00:54:44.460 Actually, don't answer that question.

00:54:45.560 Don't tell me how you'd feel about it,

00:54:46.440 because I don't want to know.

00:54:48.600 Now, this may come as a shock to you, Kim,

00:54:50.000 but did you know?

00:54:52.620 Did you know this?

00:54:55.080 Maybe make sure you're sitting down for this part.

00:54:56.480 This is going to surprise you.

00:54:59.560 Laws can be wrong.

00:55:02.440 Did you know that?

00:55:03.180 There are times when laws allow things that they shouldn't allow.

00:55:08.200 The law allowed slavery at one time.

00:55:11.140 The law has allowed many terrible things.

00:55:14.040 Right now, the law in many states allows, yes, it does,

00:55:17.820 doctors to castrate and butcher children.

00:55:20.660 That's true. 0.94

00:55:22.020 But the law is wrong.

00:55:23.780 And we know that it's wrong,

00:55:25.960 because no matter what any politician wrote onto a piece of paper,

00:55:29.100 certain scientific and moral truths remain.

00:55:31.820 One of those truths is that a child does not have a fully developed brain.

00:55:35.120 That's a fact.

00:55:35.920 She's not capable of making fully informed decisions. 0.95

00:55:38.240 She's not capable of thinking through the consequences of her actions.

00:55:41.120 She does not.

00:55:42.440 She's not capable of it.

00:55:44.240 She does not have the maturity and competence or brain chemistry required to be entrusted with

00:55:50.180 permanent life-altering decisions.

00:55:51.840 This is a fact confirmed by neurology and also by the experience of every adult human who has

00:55:58.440 ever lived on earth, because we've all been 16 at one time.

00:56:01.340 And so we know these things.

00:56:02.520 What this means is that it's not possible for a child to make a consensual medical decision,

00:56:08.840 as you say.

00:56:09.560 The statement makes no sense.

00:56:12.000 They cannot consent to what they do not understand.

00:56:14.800 Now, there are moral truths, too.

00:56:16.920 One of those moral truths is that it is wrong to harm a child.

00:56:20.920 That is wrong to do.

00:56:22.880 Doesn't matter what the law says.

00:56:24.420 Doesn't matter what the law allows.

00:56:26.180 Doesn't even matter what the child says.

00:56:28.120 It is wrong to harm a child.

00:56:31.040 Causing permanent, severe physical damage is the worst kind of physical harm possible

00:56:36.860 short of outright murder.

00:56:39.500 Now, if you don't think that we can make moral determinations like this, then, I mean, what,

00:56:44.520 do you support, should we repeal all of the child abuse laws in the country?

00:56:48.460 Maybe you would support that.

00:56:50.580 The libertarian mind virus seems to be terminal in your case, so there's no telling how far

00:56:55.400 you would go.

00:56:55.800 Now, you say that conservatives are no different than woke liberals because we declare, this

00:57:01.340 is different, this is immoral, it must be stopped.

00:57:03.960 But what you fail to understand, Kim, is that some things are different from other things.

00:57:10.020 Not all things are the same.

00:57:12.640 There are things that are one thing, and then you have something else that's different from

00:57:16.040 that thing.

00:57:17.500 Some things actually are immoral and really must be stopped.

00:57:20.940 Just because woke liberals make moral claims and demand that certain things be stopped,

00:57:27.280 that doesn't mean that all moral claims are automatically wrong and that nothing at all

00:57:31.360 should be stopped.

00:57:31.980 The problem with the woke liberal is not that he condemns certain behavior, it's that he

00:57:38.900 is wrong about what he condemns.

00:57:41.680 He is morally confused.

00:57:44.600 And so are you.

00:57:46.000 And in that way, you are like the woke liberal, which is why both of you find yourselves defending

00:57:50.780 the most grotesque form of child abuse the world has ever seen.

00:57:54.080 You are right about one thing, though.

00:57:57.860 I do practice my own form of cancel culture.

00:58:00.500 That's what this segment is all about, and it's why you have found yourself in it.

00:58:04.500 And it's also why you today are, unfortunately, canceled.

00:58:08.440 And that'll leave it there for us for this portion of the show as we move over to the members

00:58:12.820 block.

00:58:13.340 Hope to see you there.
