Summary
Recent tragedies both here and in Canada reveal the utter insanity of left-wing, so-called criminal justice reform policies. Also, the White House press secretary has publicly called out for her own past comments questioning the integrity of our elections. How dare she? A gender-affirming doctor, so called, admits that kids who are put on puberty blockers will never have proper sexual function as adults. Never. The media says that if you don t like the new Lord of the Rings series, it s because you are, of course, racist. And Jennifer Lawrence is worth $160 million, lives in a mansion in Beverly Hills.

Today on The Matt Walsh Show, recent tragedies both here and in Canada reveal the utter insanity
00:00:04.760
of left-wing so-called criminal justice reform policies. Also, the White House press secretary
00:00:09.940
has publicly called out for her own past comments questioning the integrity of our elections. How
00:00:14.940
dare she? A gender-affirming doctor so-called admits that kids who are put on puberty blockers
00:00:20.380
will never have proper sexual function as adults. Never. The media says that if you don't like the
00:00:25.900
new Lord of the Rings series, it's because you are, of course, racist. And Jennifer Lawrence is worth
00:00:30.660
$160 million, lives in a mansion in Beverly Hills. But as she explained in an interview,
00:00:36.160
that doesn't mean she isn't oppressed. All of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

You know, some states now have laws that say as early as the 2030 model year, new vehicles will
00:00:54.040
have to be electric in order to be registered. Cars with internal combustion engines will only
00:00:58.540
be able to get license plates if they were built before the end of the 2020s, which means that
00:01:03.100

00:02:08.660
At age 14, Miles Sanderson of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan started doing cocaine. And as the
00:02:16.980
parole board would later put it, his criminal offending began at about that time and continued
00:02:22.340
with, quote, no significant breaks for nearly two decades. As an adult, Sanderson would go on to rack
00:02:28.300
up 59 criminal convictions. Many of these convictions were for violent crimes, like in 2017 when he burst
00:02:34.540
into his ex-girlfriend's home, making threats and forcing the children and his ex-girlfriend to flee
00:02:40.800
to an upstairs bathroom while he beat on the door and put holes in it. And then he went outside
00:02:45.300
and threw a cement block through a windshield. About six months later, he got drunk and stabbed two guys
00:02:51.760
and then beat another one unconscious and left him in a ditch. A couple of days later, he made threats
00:02:57.120
against an employee at a store and said that he would murder the guy and burn down his parents' house.
00:03:03.160
Two months after that, he got into a violent standoff with police, assaulting one of the cops by punching
00:03:07.900
and kicking him in the head, even after he'd been detained and cuffed. These are just a few of the crimes
00:03:15.300
over 50 other convictions for crimes ranging from assault, to assault with a weapon, to robbery,
00:03:20.760
and everything in between. Eventually, he wound up in prison, where he spent time in the prison's,
00:03:26.280
quote, healing lodge, and was quickly granted parole in the summer of 2021. Immediately, he violated
00:03:32.640
the terms of his parole, and after only four months on the outside, found himself back behind bars.
00:03:37.860
In February of this year, he appeared before the parole board again, and he asked them to reverse
00:03:43.600
their decision to put him back in prison. Sanderson, along with already having violated
00:03:49.020
his parole, was also officially classified as a high-risk offender. Specifically, it was determined
00:03:53.920
that he was a high risk to commit domestic violence and violent crime in general. Sanderson's
00:04:00.340
parole supervisor, for this reason, recommended that he remain behind bars, but the members of the
00:04:05.440
parole board said that they were impressed with the fact that Sanderson had, quote,
00:04:09.120
made progress on his healing journey. And they were happy that he had, quote, made arrangements
00:04:14.360
for a therapist. And they were optimistic that he could, quote, make the journey towards a pro-social
00:04:19.900
life. Moreover, they determined that his life of crime was not really his fault. It was due to trauma
00:04:26.380
that he'd suffered from, quote, the intergenerational impacts of residential schools, neglect, exposure to
00:04:32.900
familial and community substance abuse, your own substance abuse issues, exposure to slash
00:04:38.160
experiencing domestic violence during your childhood, family fragmentation, lack of education, and loss
00:04:43.680
of culture slash spirituality. They determined that he did not, therefore, present an undue risk to
00:04:50.720
society. And they declared, quote, the board is satisfied that your risk is manageable in the community if
00:04:56.940
you live with your redacted, so live with a certain family member, maintain sobriety and employment,
00:05:03.720
and continue with developing supports, including getting therapy. So Sanderson was released. He
00:05:10.820
immediately violated his parole, again, stopped reporting to his parole officer, and next thing you
00:05:16.380
know, he's on the lam. He's off the radar completely for four months until this past weekend when he popped
00:05:22.340
up again, along with his brother Damien Sanderson, and went on a stabbing spree, murdering 10 people
00:05:29.840
and wounding 18 others. And he's still on the run as we speak. His brother Damien was found dead after
00:05:36.300
the stabbing spree, possibly murdered by Miles himself. If Miles is caught, caught alive and arrested
00:05:43.920
again, which they think he probably committed suicide, but if he is caught and alive and arrested again,
00:05:49.040
under Canadian law, he will automatically be eligible for parole after 25 years. He's only 32.
00:05:55.900
That puts him out in the street before he turns 60. In Canada, you can murder 10 people and still be
0.50
00:06:03.280
released back into society. It is impossible to get a life sentence for any crime in Canada, no matter
00:06:09.960
what you do. As Miles proved, it's nearly impossible to get even a moderate sentence. I mean, he committed 59
00:06:17.040
crimes and still hadn't earned more than a comparative slap on the wrist. Now, 10 people are dead at the
00:06:25.040
hands of a man who, we were told by the parole board, presented no undue risk to society.
00:06:32.840
Now, this story is not getting very much attention in the American press, as you might expect, and that's
00:06:38.220
not because it happened in Canada. It's rather because the whole saga, every bit of it from start
00:06:44.280
to finish, exposes every left-wing narrative about crime, exposes and invalidates, reveals the absurdity
00:06:52.820
of these narratives. Here we have a repeat violent offender from a supposedly oppressed minority group
00:06:59.220
because he has indigenous heritage, which, by the way, in Canada, that is also according to the
00:07:06.020
criminal code in Canada. They have to take that into account. So if an indigenous person commits a
1.00
00:07:10.860
violent crime, then they have to take into account that he's indigenous, and oftentimes he'll get a
00:07:15.240
lighter sentence because, well, he's indigenous, so it's okay.
00:07:18.080
So, repeat offender, oppressed minority group, supposedly, given chance after chance after
00:07:26.860
chance, and yet utterly determined to inflict as much damage on society as possible. And finally,
00:07:33.240
he goes on a mass killing spree and does this in a country where guns are illegal.
00:07:38.360
Because apparently you don't need a gun to kill mass amounts of people. Miles and Damien didn't need
00:07:45.360
guns anyway. Their victims certainly could have used them, but the victims were disarmed. In fact,
00:07:51.760
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had just declared a couple of months earlier, you might remember this
00:07:55.760
clip, a couple months earlier he said that self-defense is not a human right. If you're attacked by a
00:08:00.860
violent scumbag in Canada, it is your responsibility to simply die. And 10 people fulfilled their duty in
1.00
00:08:08.820
that respect, as Justin Trudeau demanded. Now, Canada's gun laws and criminal justice laws are
00:08:16.060
totally insane. They're literally designed to get innocent people killed. And they have succeeded in
00:08:23.920
that regard. But our situation down here in the States isn't much better as we get closer to Canadian
1.00
00:08:29.380
level madness every single day. Innocent people die in our country every single day for the sake of
00:08:35.200
giving brutal dirtbags their second and third and fourth and fifth and sixth and seventh chances.
00:08:42.180
Speaking of which, a young woman named Eliza Fletcher is one of the most recent human sacrifices
0.51
00:08:47.220
to be offered up on the altar of compassion for criminals. Fletcher was 34 years old, a mother of
00:08:52.800
two small children, a kindergarten teacher. On Friday morning, she went jogging and never returned.
00:08:58.640
Two nights ago, so a couple of nights after she went missing, her body was found dead, brutal,
00:09:05.200
paralyzed, lying in the yard of an abandoned home. Her clothes had been removed and discarded in a
00:09:11.400
plastic garbage bag nearby. A man named Cleotha Abstin has been charged with abducting and killing
00:09:17.400
Fletcher. And it will not surprise you to learn that Abstin, like Sanderson, is a career criminal
00:09:23.420
with convictions for assault, robbery, rape, all of that on his record. In fact, in the year 2000,
00:09:29.780
he was sent to prison for 24 years for kidnapping and aggravated robbery. So he had done exactly this
00:09:37.180
thing before. Now, you might be doing the math in your head and saying, well, 24 years since 2000,
00:09:43.640
why is he out of prison? Well, he was actually released in 2020. He was released four years early.
00:09:49.940
Another criminal who, according to the parole board, I guess, didn't, you know, present an undue threat
00:09:54.980
to society. Well, he made it two years after being let out of jail, before he committed the exact same
00:10:01.680
crime again, only this time adding murder and possibly, given the fact that the victim's clothes
00:10:08.040
were removed, other unspeakable acts as well, though that hasn't been confirmed yet. Cleotha Abstin
00:10:15.460
was given another chance, actually given a lot of chances. And now two young children will grow up
00:10:21.680
without a mother because of that. This is happening all across the country at an increasing
00:10:25.900
rate. In all, over 75% of criminals released from prison end up back in prison after committing more
00:10:33.900
crimes. 75%. Which means that anytime a criminal is released from jail, it is statistically almost certain
00:10:43.500
there's at least a three quarters chance that this person's going to commit another crime, victimize
00:10:48.680
another person, end up back in jail. Has this led to a decrease in the rate at which these parasites
0.97
00:10:55.440
are unleashed back onto society? No. In fact, it's been the exact opposite. As more and more innocent
0.97
00:11:00.780
people fall victim to these repeat offenders, the powers that be have doubled down, promising to fill
00:11:05.900
our communities with even more of these crooks and delinquents. John Fetterman, for example, has called for
00:11:11.620
the mass release of convicts who are serving life sentences in prison. And by the way,
00:11:18.340
life sentence in prison, this is not one of those, we always hear about the mythological people that are
00:11:22.380
in prison because they, you know, had a little bit of weed or something. And they were, next thing you
00:11:26.680
know, they get, they get 10 years in prison, supposedly. You get a life sentence. It's not for
00:11:30.980
weed. We could tell you that. But he wants to release a lot of them. Let's listen to that.
00:11:34.440
We have a catastrophic bottleneck in our prisons of over 5,000 men and women condemned to die
00:11:43.200
in prison. And many of them, I believe, personally, are deserving of a second chance.
00:11:51.960
Catastrophic bottleneck, he says. In fact, John Fetterman has been more specific talking about this
00:11:56.820
and has said that he wants to release up to one third of the prisoners who are serving life sentences
00:12:01.360
because of the bottleneck. There are too many people who've done things so horrible that they
00:12:08.200
earned life sentences because of it. And the solution, says Fetterman, and also says nearly
00:12:12.820
every other elected Democrat in the country, is to release these people back into our communities
0.85
00:12:18.520
and so that, you know, the catastrophe in our prison can become a catastrophe right outside our
00:12:26.280
front doors. And that's exactly what's happened with violent crime rates rising rapidly all across
00:12:31.340
the country. Now, what makes this crisis so especially infuriating is that, unlike other
00:12:40.340
problems we face as a society, I mean, there are some problems that are complicated and difficult,
00:12:44.940
and there is not an easy solution. This is not one of those problems. There's actually an easy,
00:12:50.720
simple solution. And it's a solution that almost nobody is talking about among our elected officials,
00:12:56.580
and that's on the right and the left. Okay, because keep in mind, this is not just the Democrats.
00:13:04.100
Now, we talk about the Democrats. I just said Democrats, but it's also Republicans.
00:13:08.840
There are lots of Republicans, including the last Republican administration, who were all
00:13:14.080
on board for prison reform, which means taking more people out of prison and putting them on the streets.
00:13:21.320
There are very few Republicans offering the real solution, which is this. Arrest violent criminals,
00:13:30.320
put them in prison, and keep them there. Now, if there are concerns about the sustainability of such
00:13:38.140
a system, if there's concerns about overcrowding and bottlenecks, well, there's a solution for that too.
00:13:44.060
Here's what it is. You take the worst of the bunch, the most violent and despicable, guys like Cleotha
00:13:50.880
Abston, and what you do is, again, it's very, very simple. You take them out of their prison cells,
00:13:57.480
and you bring them up onto a platform, and you put a rope around their necks, and then you hang them
0.99
00:14:04.240
from it until they're dead. And then you take their bodies, and you bury them in a grave marked only by
0.96
00:14:10.800
their inmate number, and you let society forget that they ever existed. Because when you do things
00:14:16.260
like this, you don't even get to be remembered by society. We bury you in the ground and try to
00:14:22.060
forget about you. Now, this is called capital punishment. Of course, you may have heard of it.
1.00
00:14:27.060
It's still used in some states, but should be used in every state, and it should be used much more
00:14:31.800
often than it is. A society with a strong sense of justice, a clear understanding of right versus
00:14:40.080
wrong, and a society which values innocent lives like Eliza Fletcher will necessarily treat violent
0.84
00:14:47.880
crime with this kind of severity. It is not bloodlust or vengeance. It is justice. It's also realism,
00:14:54.560
as it acknowledges that some people, through their own behavior, have become an undue burden on society,
00:15:00.340
and they've given us no choice but to relieve ourselves of the burden through the only means
00:15:06.020
available. I mean, if you're such a burden on society that we can't even put you in prison,
00:15:16.900
The point we have to understand here, and the way that we should be framing this discussion and
00:15:22.180
talking about it, is that releasing violent criminals or giving them lenient sentences
00:15:27.720
is not a decision made in a vacuum. Everything in life is a trade-off, and that's especially the
00:15:35.760
case here. So when somebody like Abstin or Sanderson is sent back into the free world again and again and
00:15:42.760
again and again and again, the system that released those men is making a trade. They're not just doing
00:15:49.700
it. There's a trade here. They are trading Eliza Fletcher's safety, your safety, my safety, my
00:15:56.960
children's safety, your children's safety, for the sake of this person's freedom. That's what they're
00:16:02.320
saying. I mean, think about the phrasing that they used for Sanderson, an undue. It's not an undue
00:16:09.320
risk to society. Well, it's not the same thing as saying that it's not a risk. It's just not an undue
00:16:15.720
risk. What does that mean? Well, it means that the parole board, the system, has declared that,
00:16:21.500
yeah, he's a risk. I mean, he's a high risk, actually. So think about it. How could he be a
00:16:25.260
high-risk offender and yet not an undue risk? How could he be classified as both at the same time?
00:16:31.200
Well, because he's a high risk, but it's a due risk. Like, it's a risk worth taking, is what they're
00:16:39.440
saying, in other words. Yeah, there's a high risk that he's going to kill a bunch of people, which he did,
0.85
00:16:43.660
but it was a risk worth taking for his freedom.
00:16:50.220
That's what they're saying. The system declares that it is worth the risk to your children's
00:16:55.340
lives in order to give a heinous monster his ninth or tenth or eleventh chance.
00:17:01.840
But the people who make this trade on our behalf, a trade that none of us agree to or want,
00:17:07.640
are never made to defend the decision or explain how they've arrived at this moral calculation.
00:17:13.660
They can't defend it. Because all of this is, in the worst way, indefensible.
00:17:25.200
All right. This has really gotten out of hand, folks. The Sweet Baby Gang has now started a
00:17:38.240
petition calling for a return to the flannels. And there's an actual change.org petition.
00:17:45.840
Next thing you know, there's going to be a march on Washington. But this is really difficult for me,
00:17:50.380
you have to understand, because I'm being torn in different directions. I'm helplessly caught in
00:17:54.100
the middle. Okay? I am utterly helpless here. Like yesterday after the show, I had like a 30-minute
00:18:01.460
conversation with my producer, Sean McKenna, who are both very pro-blazer and anti-flannel,
00:18:06.400
I'll tell you. Sean had like a whole PowerPoint presentation about the blazer. But then I go home,
00:18:14.680
and I find out that my wife is on team plaid. And she's like, she's actually very, everyone is very
00:18:23.800
serious about this and taking it very seriously. She is like emotional about it. And she actually
00:18:28.580
said, this is what she said. I'm not making this up. She said that, you know, you know, it's getting
00:18:32.000
to be fall now. And so I go out and I see people wearing plaid and I see them wearing flannel. And it
00:18:36.880
makes me sad remembering when you used to wear flannel. And I'm like, I'm not dead. I'm still,
00:18:42.160
I'm sitting right across from you. I can still wear flannels. It's just about the show.
00:18:46.760
Then she tells me that she actually sent a text to our wardrobe person about this issue. So she has
00:18:52.240
entered into the discussion. And meanwhile, I'm sitting here, I don't have strong feelings about
00:18:58.460
it. Like I have strong feelings about almost everything, including things that don't matter
00:19:02.160
at all. But in terms of what I wear, I don't care that much, which is the whole reason I wore
00:19:07.540
flannel to begin with. It's just because like, it's something you can throw on and you don't need to
00:19:10.800
iron it as much. It doesn't get as wrinkly, at least as obviously wrinkly. So that's why I was
00:19:14.680
wearing it to begin with. So I'm sort of stuck in the middle. It's like the one thing I don't care
00:19:20.520
that much about. Everyone is sort of in my ear about it. So here's what I'll say. Start a GoFundMe,
00:19:28.820
raise $50,000 for me personally to go in my pocket, and then I'll start wearing the flannel again.
00:19:34.660
That's the solution. Just kidding. Don't do that. Forget I said that because they'll actually do it.
00:19:40.800
Don't do it. That was a joke, but I still haven't decided what the answer is. Okay.
00:19:46.360
Karen Jean Pear, she might have an answer to this. Maybe someone should ask her.
00:19:50.400
That's what we need. We need a statement from the White House on this issue.
00:19:54.020
She was called out at the White House press conference yesterday for her own past comments
00:20:00.100
questioning the integrity of our elections. And this is something that you could do.
00:20:07.240
This is, you could take any Democrat on the national stage and put them on the spot like
00:20:13.320
this because all of them, of course, when Donald Trump was elected in 2016, all of them were out
00:20:19.280
there saying that this is not legitimate. This is not right. This is, you know, we got to abolish the
00:20:23.520
electoral college. This is Russia. It's everything. Election interference. All of them were saying that
00:20:28.180
every single one. Uh, Karen Jean Pear was among them and, uh, here's how she responded to that
00:20:34.100
question. The new attention on the mag of Republicans. You tweeted in 2016, Trump stole an election.
00:20:43.460
I was waiting, Peter, when you were going to ask me that question. Well, here we go. You tweeted
00:20:48.300
Trump stole an election. You tweeted Brian Kemp stole an election. If denying election results is
00:20:54.180
extreme now. Yeah. So let's, let's be really clear that that comparison that you made is just
00:21:00.820
ridiculous. I have been, I have been, well, you're asking me, you're asking me a question. Let me
00:21:04.940
answer it. And you said ridiculous. I was, I was talking specifically at that time of what was
0.99
00:21:10.740
happening with voting rights and the, what was in danger of voting rights. That's what I was speaking
00:21:15.740
to at the time. Well, it's, this is, of course, that's always their answer. This is ridiculous.
00:21:23.000
What are you saying that I should be held accountable for my own words that I, are you
0.97
00:21:30.140
suggesting that I should hold myself to the same standard that I hold my political opponents? That's
00:21:35.200
absurd. And the thing is that that's not, that's not a put on. That's not an act. She really thinks
00:21:39.680
it's ridiculous. It, for people on the left, it is, it is actually absurd to them. The very idea
0.82
00:21:45.980
that they should be held to the same standard that they hold the rest of us is it's just,
0.86
00:21:50.080
it's ludicrous. It doesn't even compute. Well, of course it's different. It's me saying this.
0.79
00:21:56.300
It's as opposed to you. And actually, you know, we say this goes back to 2016 with them questioning
00:22:03.220
elections. Um, and it wasn't just the presidential election. I mean, they also, we, we know that
00:22:08.480
Stacey Abrams is, is currently the governor of, uh, of, uh, of Georgia, according to them,
00:22:13.660
but it goes back before 2016. I mean, they've been questioning the integrity of every election
00:22:20.120
they lost since at least 2000. I mean, since at least the first Bush term,
00:22:26.480
they've been questioning the integrity of every election they lose. And it's not even just elections.
00:22:32.740
It's whenever they lose anything, they, they question the integrity of the system that produced
00:22:41.140
that loss for them. Supreme court, you know, they could get 50 Supreme court decisions in a row that
0.93
00:22:49.340
go their way. Then they get one that doesn't. And it's, well, the whole, it's whole, the whole thing
00:22:52.880
is rigged. It's the whole system needs to be changed. Abolish the Supreme court, get rid of it.
00:22:56.500
That's what they do. That of course is always the game, but to them, it's not, as I'm always
00:23:05.160
reminding people, it's not a, it is not really a double standard. It is one standard, which is,
00:23:10.540
uh, you know, they get to do what they want. And for us, it's something different. So it's,
00:23:17.880
it's kind of, it is in a way, one consistent standard where they, they are the privileged
00:23:22.560
and they can act a certain way, but that doesn't apply to us. All right. This is from the daily
00:23:29.480
wire and interesting poll result here. Although it, to me, it's kind of up in the air, whether
00:23:35.880
you interpret this in a positive or negative way, I don't know. It says nearly one in four
00:23:40.140
democratic voters believe men can get pregnant. According to a new poll, the online survey conducted
00:23:45.620
by WPA intelligence from August 20, uh, 22nd through the 25th found 22% of Democrats agreed
00:23:53.180
with the statement. Some men can get pregnant. The percentage rose when only including women
00:23:58.920
and a whopping 36% of white college educated female Democrats concurred. Overall, few Americans
00:24:07.120
think that men can get pregnant. Uh, but this is quoting from the firm that did the poll,
00:24:12.900
but with 36% of a core Democrat constituency and one out of five Democrat voters believing
00:24:19.220
this one can see why democratic leaders coddle the radical gender theory movement. The poll
00:24:25.900
underscores the left's growing embrace of a radical gender theory that biological sex does
0.77
00:24:29.360
not dictate gender. Now I I've sort of seen this poll just came out this morning and daily
00:24:33.820
wire reported. I've looked at some of the reaction and I've seen some people on the right
00:24:39.500
kind of kind of taking this in a positive way and say, well, it's still, so, so the majority of
00:24:44.940
even Democrats don't believe that men can get pregnant. Um, so that's a good sign, I guess.
1.00
00:24:52.760
I'm not sure I quite see it that way. Still 22% will agree with the statement that some men can get
0.70
00:24:58.820
pregnant. That is a given the statement that they're agreeing to. Okay. If this was a 22% of Democrats,
0.73
00:25:07.900
uh, you know, only 22% of Democrats think that abortion should be legal with no, with no exceptions
00:25:15.420
or something. Well, that I would say, well, that, that would, that'd be a very good sign.
00:25:20.100
22% agree with the statement that some men can get pregnant. And one of the things about polls
0.82
00:25:25.540
like this is that you can't, you can't, you can't go back 10 years, 20 years and check what the polls
00:25:31.780
were saying back then because nobody was polling this, this topic at all, which actually tells you
00:25:37.680
everything you need to know. It was, it didn't occur to anyone to even ask the question until,
00:25:44.540
you know, five seconds ago. But I think we would be pretty certain that if this question was asked,
00:25:51.620
I mean, 10 years ago, it gets a little dicey. 15 years ago, 20 years ago, you asked this question
00:25:56.160
and every single person is saying, uh, can men get pregnant? No, of course not.
00:26:00.280
And then what an even greater shame for, uh, the Democrats and female Democrats in particular,
1.00
00:26:10.860
that there are more women on the Democrat side that will agree with that statement than men.
00:26:16.260
It's like women on the left are more on board with being erased than the men are.
00:26:30.000
College educated female Democrats in particular, which kind of shows you, uh, what a, what a college
1.00
00:26:36.940
education does for you these days. I mean, you've got people that go through four years of college or
00:26:42.120
even, I mean, how many of these are grad students? I'd like to break it down that far. I want to see
00:26:46.780
this poll again, but now show me. So we got college educated Democrats and then, and then, and then,
00:26:52.800
uh, narrow it down to grad students. I want those with master's degrees and PhDs. How many of them say
00:26:59.360
that men can get pregnant? I bet you then it gets over 50%. So you can spend four, six, eight,
0.99
00:27:06.160
however many years in higher education, supposedly, and come out on the other end
00:27:13.460
with six figure debt, but a, a, uh, less of a grasp on basic biology than my kids have.
00:27:26.660
Here's a kind of the same subject. Here's a pediatrician with a familiar line about puberty
00:27:31.920
blockers. This is on, uh, another pediatrician on Tik TOK. Now, once again, obviously goes without
00:27:37.100
saying for me to take this video and show it to you is an act of terrorism and incitement. How dare
00:27:43.500
I? But here's what she said. Puberty blockers are used once puberty has started, but not when you're
00:27:51.240
too far along. And what they do is they just pause your puberty where it's at. And that gives you time
00:28:00.000
to further explore your gender identity without the extra pressure of developing in a gender
00:28:07.820
in which you might not feel comfortable. And then if you continue those puberty blockers long enough,
00:28:14.220
then you can start replacement therapy with the, uh, gender identity hormone of your choice when you
00:28:21.540
reach usually around 15 or so, or once you've been on that puberty blocker for at least a couple of years.
00:28:27.280
Hope that answers your question. Yeah, that's a, the, the account is called ask the doctor or ask a doctor.
00:28:34.260
So, you know, if you have any medical questions, you can go and ask this doctor and she will simply
00:28:39.080
lie to your face with delusional, insane, dangerous nonsense, like what you just heard there. Uh, but,
0.62
00:28:45.320
but it's familiar nonsense at this point, especially if you've seen my film, what is a woman, which you can
00:28:49.220
go to was woman.com. If you haven't seen it and watch it there, um, you are familiar with this
00:28:53.340
nonsense because it's the same thing that I heard from, uh, from several so-called experts that,
00:28:58.820
well, you could just pause, just pause it, just put it on pause. Uh, a total lie of course. And it,
00:29:04.540
and it reveals again on the left. And we see this with a lot of what they say about climate change
00:29:09.460
and environmentalism too. We see it, um, you know, slight, slightly less malignant form of it,
00:29:14.780
but still pretty malignant, which is this total lack of respect for nature. As much as they talk
00:29:22.820
about nature, uh, a total lack of respect for it, for the power of nature. And that includes human
00:29:30.620
nature. That includes biology. So you're treating the process of human development. It's like a game
00:29:40.420
but you're talking about the, the analogy that, uh, one of the people I talked to in what is a woman
00:29:46.580
used is it's like, it's like a, it's music. You could just pause it and then pick up the next note
00:29:51.160
of the song. But really it's, they're talking about it like it is a game, like it's a video game. You
00:29:56.840
just hit the pause button and you can freeze it right there and then come back to it anytime and pick
00:30:02.600
up right where you left off. That's not how nature works.
00:30:10.420
I mean, you're talking about a system in, in human beings anyway, that's been in place
00:30:18.380
for millions of years. And you think you can, you can circumvent it like that, that easily,
00:30:25.100
just pop a pill, circumvent this process without any downside whatsoever, no side effects.
00:30:33.700
You could take a pill and put someone kind of freeze someone at the exact moment of development
00:30:39.880
they're currently at and keep them there indefinitely. By the way, if this was true,
00:30:46.240
would this not be the, the key to like immortality basically? If that's true,
00:30:52.040
that you could just take a pill and freeze your physical development in place and then resume it
00:30:57.480
some other time, then, I mean, I guess you could take puberty blockers, you know, someone could take
00:31:01.680
puberty blockers for 60 years. And then when they're, when they're technically in their seventies,
00:31:07.540
they could pick up with a development again and end up living in, you know, until they're like in
00:31:11.980
their mid one hundreds. If that's how it worked, but that is not how it works at all. I mean, what you
00:31:21.980
can do is you can essentially by poisoning these kids. And when you're using the drugs this way off
00:31:29.520
label in a way that they're not meant to be used, you're, you're poisoning them and you can stunt
00:31:35.500
their growth and you can mess with the biological processes, but there are significant side effects
00:31:44.980
and we can't even really call them side effects because they are just, they're the effects.
00:31:48.400
They're really the intended effects. So here is a report in the post-millennial with another name
00:31:55.040
that might be familiar to you. If you've seen what is a woman says that a recent talk at Duke
00:31:58.900
university on trans and gender diverse policies, care practices, and wellbeing surgeon and trans
00:32:05.560
affirming doctor, quote unquote, Marcy Bowers, who transitioned at the age of 38, admitted that
00:32:10.460
children who undergo transition before puberty will never have adult sexual function or experience
00:32:15.380
orgasm. Never. Bowers said, an observation that I had, uh, every single child who was,
00:32:21.920
or adolescent who was truly blocked at Tanner stage two, which is the beginning of physical
00:32:25.740
development. When hormones begin their work of advancing a child to adulthood has never experienced
00:32:31.360
orgasm. I mean, it's really zero. Bowers says, um, this raises huge and glaring red flags with the
00:32:40.960
concept of informed consent reading now from post-millennial for children and teens who are
00:32:44.800
ushered in transition. Um, Bowers proudly advertises the fact that she actually it's a, it's a, he, this is
0.96
00:32:51.340
a male has both delivered 2000 babies and performed 2000 castrations on biological men who identifies
00:32:58.380
transgender performing, uh, vaginoplasties and is recognized as a pioneer in the field of gender
00:33:04.320
affirming surgery. So like I said, we talked to Marcy Bowers in, uh, in what is a woman. And this
00:33:12.640
is the person who, when we, there were, there were many disturbing parts of that conversation,
00:33:16.660
but it's also the person we taught when, when I, when I asked him about, um, the social contagion,
00:33:23.860
is there a social contagion element to this? The fact, the fact that we've got so many kids all of a
00:33:29.640
sudden who are identifying as trans when before it was almost non-existent, comparatively speaking,
00:33:34.840
uh, is that an indication of, of social contagion. And I think of the exact quote, quote was maybe a
00:33:43.460
teensy bit, just a little bit, but here's Bowers admitting that when you give these drugs to a child,
00:33:51.080
you are forfeiting for the child permanently adult sexual function.
00:33:56.760
And that does raise a question about consent. I mean, it doesn't simply raise a question about
00:34:04.380
consent. It reveals that there cannot be consent here because how can a child
00:34:08.840
consent to foregoing something like that? You're talking to a prepubescent child. How can they possibly
00:34:17.980
consent to foregoing adult sexual function? They're foregoing something they've never experienced.
00:34:24.480
They don't understand. And they're consenting to never having it ever in their lives.
00:34:34.540
Same question with a, with a 14 year old girl who supposedly consents to having
0.58
00:34:38.960
her breasts removed and thereby consents supposedly to, um, never being able to breastfeed a child.
1.00
00:34:48.300
Yeah. Maybe when you're talking to a 14 year old girl, it doesn't sound like a big deal
00:34:51.680
because being a mother is nowhere on her radar, especially when she's in the midst of all this
00:34:57.220
gender confusion that's been imposed on her in many ways. So how can she consent?
1.00
00:35:07.220
How could she know what she's giving up? She can't. This is a decision that is being made for these
00:35:13.080
children that the, the, the adult versions of those children will have to live with.
00:35:17.640
And by the way, the people that are actually making decisions, they don't have to live with
00:35:23.060
the consequences. They're putting that on the child to deal with. All right. This is from, uh,
00:35:31.480
the daily wire. It says Elon Musk is weighing in on the new Amazon series, the Lord of the Rings,
00:35:36.520
the rings of power. And it sounds like the billionaire Tesla CEO is not a fan.
00:35:40.500
Tolkien is turning in his grave. Musk tweeted Monday in response to the series, which just
00:35:44.740
released episodes, uh, on, uh, uh, two episodes last Thursday, almost every male character so far
0.94
00:35:51.420
as a coward, a jerk, or both only Galadriel is, I guess that's a Lord of the Rings character is brave,
0.87
00:35:57.540
smart, and nice. Now this is part of a overall kind of backlash against, I guess, against the Lord of
0.98
00:36:04.140
the Rings series. Daily wire has also has this report. There's been a lot of hype leading up to
00:36:07.480
Amazon's Lord of the Rings adaptation, the rings of power. But now some fans are saying it's a huge
00:36:11.640
flop. The series premiered the first two episodes Thursday currently has an 84% critic rating and a
00:36:16.860
36% audience rating on on Rotten Tomatoes. This certainly isn't the first time critics and viewers
00:36:22.080
disagreed on whether a show was a triumph or a fail, but some reviewers are accusing fans of being
00:36:27.940
racist for their one star reviews. Of course we knew that was going to happen. A writer for the
00:36:33.660
Hollywood Reporter likened these reviewers to miserable little trolls who were review bombing
0.99
00:36:38.220
the series simply because casting directors chose to add black actors into it. So this is,
0.98
00:36:44.700
this is the narrative now that we're getting from the media. I haven't watched this show. I have no
00:36:48.440
interest in watching it. And I'm a fan of Lord of the Rings actually, but it's because I'm a fan of
00:36:52.840
Lord of the Rings that I'm not going to watch Amazon's version of it. And I, and I, I said this
00:36:58.840
from the very beginning, the first time they announced the series, I was warning everyone,
00:37:02.000
it's going to be a disappointment. It is going to disappoint you because Hollywood in the year
00:37:06.380
2022 does not have the ability. I mean, it would, it would be in any era, it would be very difficult
00:37:13.380
to make a Lord of the Rings series, which yes, maybe it's based on some of Tolkien's work,
00:37:19.540
but you're basically telling your own story. And now we're going to stack it up against one of the
00:37:25.840
classic fantasy novels of all time, fantasy series of all time. So in any era of Hollywood,
00:37:31.500
that's a lot to ask. I mean, you're, you're almost doomed to fail already,
00:37:37.400
but especially in this era, it's just, it's impossible that the series can be good.
00:37:46.800
They don't have the capacity to tell these kinds of stories anymore. And when I say capacity,
00:37:52.780
I don't mean from a financial perspective, they got all the money in the world. It's been a billion
00:37:56.620
dollars on this series, which by the way, you don't hear a lot of complaints from, from the left
00:38:06.120
about that. You know, they say about like Elon Musk, when he made an offer for Twitter, they said,
00:38:12.080
well, why don't you, you could have taken that money and solve the world hunger. Well,
00:38:16.520
Amazon spent a billion dollars on a, on a TV show. How much world, how much of world hunger could they
00:38:22.920
have solved with that? But they've got the money, but they don't have, there's not the,
00:38:29.420
there's not the, the spiritual capacity to tell stories like this anymore in Hollywood.
00:38:37.540
But the narrative is that the people don't like the show because there are some black actors in it.
00:38:42.700
And of course, because, you know, the people that are watching Lord of the Rings, it's the first time
0.89
00:38:46.360
they've seen a black actor in a show and they're all racist. And so that's why they have a problem with
0.89
00:38:50.440
it. Then you, you go and you read the audience reviews and what you see, not surprisingly, is
00:38:57.000
that almost all of them don't like the show because they think it's boring. They don't like
00:39:01.640
how it's written and all of those things. I looked at some of the reviews. I didn't see one person
00:39:06.540
complain about the fact that there's a black actor. Now, with that said, audiences at this point
00:39:13.980
have a very low tolerance for anything that even smells woke. Like the minute there's a hint of woke
00:39:20.420
wokeness. And of course, just having a black actor doesn't mean that you're trying to do something
00:39:24.980
woke. But the minute there's a hint of it, like if there's a hint that they put a character in the
00:39:31.280
show just for, for no reason, not because it advances a story, but just for diversity concerns,
00:39:37.260
the minute there's even a hint of that, audiences are repelled and for good reason, because we're sick
00:39:42.660
of it. Though I don't think that's the primary complaint here. All right, here's, before we get to the
00:39:47.620
comment section, here's the latest from TikTok. This is an anti-white racist who went viral
00:39:54.120
with this temper tantrum about white people. Let's listen.
1.00
00:39:58.580
I call y'all white people for what I see, y'all. Y'all are devils. Y'all are parasites. Y'all are
1.00
00:40:04.580
mosquitoes. And when you look at a mosquito, you see that mosquitoes latch onto other life forms,
0.92
00:40:11.160
drain the blood from that life form to get nutrients so it can power itself. That's exactly
00:40:18.660
what y'all are. Because every single thing that y'all do is to drain the life out of everything.
00:40:27.200
And when we look at the advent of y'all devils, since the moment y'all were created, y'all have caused
00:40:34.220
destruction, chaos, and deception on our earth. When we welcome y'all in to our kingdoms, our lands,
00:40:44.880
as eternal people, what did y'all do? Y'all came in, y'all caused destruction, y'all caused
00:40:52.100
altercations amongst us as a people and amongst our civilization. Therefore, we banish y'all,
0.99
00:40:59.340
we exiled y'all from the kingdom. This is the true story of the Garden of Eden.
00:41:06.680
Oh, it's a true story, huh? Yeah, white people caused altercations, but there were no altercations
0.87
00:41:13.920
in Africa prior to white people showing up. There were no altercations in the Americas before the
0.79
00:41:21.040
Europeans showed up. There were no altercations at all. Because when those cultures were
0.99
00:41:29.220
killing and enslaving each other, which they all were, they did it, I guess, in a peaceful way.
00:41:34.180
It wasn't, you know, kind of like a mostly peaceful BLM riot. It wasn't, there was no
00:41:38.440
altercation involved. I'm not sure exactly how that works. By the way, not to get too technical here,
00:41:44.620
but I'm pretty sure that only female mosquitoes bite and suck blood. So this also strikes me as a
0.86
00:41:51.520
sexist complaint from this guy. And white people, though, he says, are parasitic life form,
0.99
00:41:58.020
basically, that have brought only misery to the world. Which I guess you could see why he would
1.00
00:42:04.160
say that. You know, white people are parasites who brought misery to the world by inventing
1.00
00:42:10.640
antibiotics, inventing electricity, inventing space travel, the printing press, modern plumbing,
1.00
00:42:22.360
computers, almost all of modern medicine. All of the technology that this guy uses to complain
00:42:29.200
about white people, invented by white people. So here's my challenge. And this is serious. This is a
0.92
00:42:35.600
real challenge here. For any anti-white racist like this guy, and there are a lot of them out there,
0.95
00:42:42.240
here's my challenge. If you're an anti-white racist, I challenge you to go one single day.
1.00
00:42:49.380
I mean, even an hour of a day, I would be impressed if you could do that. But let's be ambitious.
0.98
00:42:53.920
Go one day without using anything that was given to you by the race of people you despise.
0.99
00:43:01.540
One day, can you do it? I don't think you can, but prove me wrong. Now let's get to our comment section.
00:43:11.400
Do you know their name? They're the sweet baby gang.
00:43:19.560
Okay, I have to do something here before we get to the comments, and hopefully you'll bear with me.
00:43:23.680
I'm in a bind, all right? A bind even worse than the flannel predicament. So a couple of weeks ago,
00:43:28.700
I happened to show you a picture that my five-year-old son drew of me. Maybe you remember
00:43:35.200
that, and I showed it to you because he made me look like a character from Nightmare Before Christmas,
00:43:39.840
which he hasn't even seen the movie. And I thought that was cool. So I showed you the picture. Well,
00:43:46.220
last night, I happened to mention to my son that I showed that picture that he drew of me on my show.
00:43:53.420
My kids obviously don't watch my show. They have very little idea of what I do for a living. They've got
00:43:58.100
very little concept of it. All they know is that daddy is on TV, and also that random strangers
00:44:03.140
sometimes stop daddy to take pictures with him. That's the only thing they know. So he was surprised
00:44:09.120
by that when I told him that I showed the picture. He was shocked, and he was thrilled, and he was very
00:44:14.680
proud of himself, rightfully so. And then, and I didn't know he was doing this at the time, but he ran off,
00:44:20.220
and he began furiously drawing more pictures, three more pictures in total. And he came, and he put
00:44:26.440
them in my bag, my briefcase. And he asked me to bring those to work and to show everyone those
00:44:33.260
pictures too. And he said that those pictures are even better, and he wants everyone to see them,
00:44:38.060
to know what a good artist he is. So he says this to me, and it's like, what am I going to say to that?
00:44:44.580
He's so excited and so proud. And so I said, yeah, sure, buddy. I'll, I could, I could do that at some
00:44:48.880
point. And he said, well, no, can you do it tomorrow? And, and, and I said, well, no, we'll see. And he
00:44:55.440
said, dad, can, when you get home, can you show me the video of you showing the drawing so I know you
00:44:59.920
did it? And I said, yeah, sure, I could do that. Great. So he backed me into a corner, folks, which is
00:45:08.060
why, and here's the clip that I'm going to, this is where the, this is the, this is the part of the clip
00:45:11.400
I'm going to show him. Um, this is why I have to show you these amazing drawings that my son made
00:45:16.660
for me. We'll put them up on the screen so you can see them. Uh, you can see there's a picture of me
00:45:20.680
fishing. There's another one of me, uh, and him, and then there's another one of me. I think we can
00:45:27.980
all agree, sweet baby gang, that, uh, this kid is truly a phenomenal artist. And what's even better,
00:45:33.440
I think, is that he has a knack for choosing great subjects for his drawings, uh, mainly because the
00:45:39.840
subject is almost always me. So there you are. There are the drawings, each one better than the
00:45:47.920
last. Can't we all agree? Now let's get to the comments. Cody says, I am saddened, Matt, to hear
00:45:55.660
that you have not had anyone to talk about dinosaurs for so long. Happy that your boys have grown enough
00:46:00.080
to discuss the fascinating creatures with you. If you ever need someone else to talk to about them,
00:46:03.940
I love dinosaurs and am here for you. Well, I appreciate that, Cody. Bentley says, Matt bans multiple
00:46:09.020
people from the show for telling him how to dress and groom himself. And he says he's a man of
00:46:14.380
principle and then immediately proceeds to tell us what razor we should be using, the hypocrisy. Well,
00:46:20.640
in fairness to me, I'm just doing as I'm told there. I mean, it's not, they are great razors,
00:46:26.800
but as you know, it's not like I can really offer my, my personal endorsement of them, but I do hear
00:46:31.380
they're great. Let's see. Tie my shoes says, Matt needs to add that red lighting during his daily
00:46:39.400
cancellation segment. A couple of walruses in the background. Oh, the red lighting from Biden's
00:46:43.300
speech. That's actually a really good idea. I hadn't thought about that, but that is, that lighting
00:46:48.420
is terrible for presidential speech as has been established. Would be really good for daily
00:46:53.200
cancellation. I do agree with you. Question everything says, I'm 65 and I did not know what
00:46:58.140
non-binary is. I thought it was computer talk, not to mention I'm a great grandmother and my children,
00:47:04.120
my grandchildren, and my great grandchildren have never talked this way until their school
00:47:08.760
attempted to indoctrinate them into this insanity. Well, you know, I'm, I'm happy to hear this response
00:47:13.980
from someone in their sixties because of course, like you, you lived, you know, a, your whole life
00:47:23.180
without anyone ever talking about non-binary because that concept didn't exist until it was invented
00:47:27.600
15 seconds ago. And I have to tell you, going back to my film, what is a woman? When we were
00:47:33.900
out doing our man on the street interviews at first, I really expected, like, I thought that
00:47:38.080
we would, we'd stop a bunch of younger people and people, my age, I don't know if they count as
00:47:42.020
younger. Um, and we would get a lot of people who are just confused and talking about non-binary
00:47:46.740
and pansexual and the rest of it. I thought though, that if we get anyone over the age of like 50,
00:47:53.200
certainly people are in their sixties and seventies and we stopped them and talk to them about this
00:47:56.240
stuff, they're going to be, they're going to have your reaction and say, what is this? This is crazy.
00:48:01.620
But it was quite depressing to find that, uh, the confusion spans all age groups largely
00:48:08.800
with some exceptions, like in your case. SS says, I'm probably going to get roasted here,
00:48:15.440
but I'm going to say this anyway, because I think it's true. And I hope Matt can be challenged by it.
00:48:20.060
I agree with a lot of what Matt Walsh says. A lot of it, most of it, here comes the,
00:48:25.220
but, but the way in which he says it is very often self-defeating. If his goal is to do anything
00:48:31.160
other than preach to the choir, a case in point from this episode, Matt says, I hate these people.
00:48:37.620
And only a few minutes later runs an ad for a Christian app that is listed among other,
00:48:41.360
among other aims, reducing the sinful temptation to hatred. I know the typical rejoinder here is
00:48:46.580
something along the lines of these people don't deserve kindness because they're threatening our very
00:48:50.680
way of life and so on. I've heard all that and I don't buy it. The reason is that Jesus did not
00:48:54.340
respond this way to people. And yes, I'm aware that he had harsh things to say, but go back and read
00:48:58.140
them. And you'll find that they are not spoken to those blinded by the world's sinfulness and
00:49:03.200
enslaved to it, but to the religious leaders of his day whose failure to abide by God's revealed path
00:49:09.000
denigrated God's name. What Jesus said explicitly is to love your enemies and forgive those who persecute
00:49:15.060
you. I accept most of that. The forgiveness part, not so much because is it up to me? Now,
00:49:24.860
what was I referring to yesterday when I said that? I was referring to adults who sexually
0.63
00:49:29.080
indoctrinate kids, who mutilate and drug kids. That's what I said when I said, I hate these people.
1.00
00:49:36.200
It's not up to me to forgive them. Okay. Now you could say, I forgive them as a Christian.
00:49:41.620
That's worthless. That is worthless forgiveness because you are not the person harmed.
00:49:48.900
This sin was not committed against you, so you could forgive them all day long. What does that
00:49:53.020
even mean? I mean, what does it mean to forgive someone of a sin they didn't commit against you,
00:49:58.620
but against someone else, namely a child? So forgiveness is a Christian virtue. It is very
00:50:04.960
important, but you can only forgive someone for things they've done to you, things that you are
00:50:09.640
affected by. If you're not affected, then forgiveness is, you know, forgiveness is something
00:50:19.380
that happens, again, to people who are, if you are affected by it. Now that said, does that let me
00:50:25.420
off the hook entirely? No, it doesn't. You are correct. We are called to love our enemies. We
00:50:32.340
shouldn't go around saying we hate people. I'm with you on that. But I'm also being honest with you
00:50:38.860
about how I feel about it. Because I do have hatred for them. I really do. And I'm just being
00:50:45.080
totally honest. Not defending it, being honest with you. That hatred is born from my love for the
00:50:54.700
children who are being harmed. That's where it comes from. If you are able to regulate that,
00:51:03.580
do a better job of regulating within yourself, then that's very good. And you should be commended for
00:51:09.040
that. However, my fear is that, and I'm not saying this is the case for you, because I don't know if
00:51:15.240
it is or not. I can't see inside your heart. But I have noticed there are a lot of Christians who
00:51:22.200
preach, well, we should love our enemies, and we should love the people who do horrible things to
00:51:26.780
children. And yet for many of them, it's not really love. You know, it's, or at the very least,
00:51:31.780
it's kind of a cheap love that they have. Because it's more indifference. Like, they don't really
00:51:35.420
care that much about it. And so they don't feel that rage within their souls about the horrible
00:51:44.340
things that are being done to kids and to others. They don't feel that rage and anger. They don't feel
00:51:50.820
it. And so it's very easy for them to say, oh, no, we shouldn't lash out in anger. We should just be
00:51:54.940
loving. It's only worth something if you feel the anger. I mean, if you understand just how
00:52:01.760
hideously, horribly evil this is. And if you feel that and understand it, and yet are still able to
00:52:10.520
regulate yourself spiritually and emotionally, then again, I commend you. I can learn something from
00:52:14.760
you. But there's a lot of so-called Christian love in our culture that, to me, seems a lot like
00:52:22.420
indifference. Which is why you get this from a lot of churches. And you hear priests and pastors get up
00:52:29.740
there, and they talk about Christian love all day long. They never even mention any of these things.
00:52:34.720
They don't even acknowledge it because they don't care, and they're indifferent to it. And so it's really
00:52:41.080
easy for them to say, oh, I love our enemies. Well, you don't even care about what our enemies are
00:52:45.700
doing to these kids. So you had a caution for me. I accept that. I have a caution for you as well.
00:52:56.440
Something to think about. Well, football season is upon us, and my colleagues bordering on friends over
00:53:02.660
at Crane & Company are hosting their first ever fantasy football draft party tonight. If you're an
00:53:09.360
anti-woke sports fan and you haven't watched Crane & Company on The Daily Wire yet, then I suggest
00:53:13.580
you do so. Not just because it's a great sports show that refuses to virtually signal leftist
00:53:17.600
politics, but because I will be competing all season long to add Daily Wire fantasy football
00:53:23.660
champion to my Twitter bio as well. I've got many accolades. This one is going to be the next that I
00:53:29.180
add. Every week I'll be going head-to-head with the Crane guys, Ben Shapiro, Andrew Klavan, Morning Wires,
00:53:33.960
John Bickley, and even Michael Knowles, whose sum of sports knowledge is the New York Yankees in the
00:53:38.140
90s. So I think we're good there. Make sure to follow our Daily Wire fantasy league throughout
00:53:42.520
the season by watching Crane & Company Mondays through Fridays. And I better not blow the draft
00:53:47.760
because the loser of this league, this is real. We're actually doing this. If you lose, the punishment
00:53:53.820
is you have to sit courtside at a WNBA game and actually watch the entire thing. This is, and by the
00:53:59.980
way, I have to tell you also that I, for some reason, because this punishment is so funny, I fought
00:54:05.660
for it behind the scenes. I'm like, this has to be it. We have to do this. And it only occurred to me
00:54:12.340
after the fact that I'll probably be the one who loses because I'm terrible at fantasy football. So
00:54:16.680
that's what's on the line here. That's why you need to tune in to watch the draft party. You can
00:54:21.020
catch all the draft action tonight over on Crane & Company's YouTube channel at 7 p.m. Eastern,
00:54:25.260
6 p.m. Central. Now let's get to our Daily Cancellation.
00:54:32.700
Today, we canceled Jennifer Lawrence, who's a Hollywood actress, been mostly out of the
00:54:37.220
spotlight since starring in a series of flops over the last several years. Now she's attempting
00:54:41.260
to get back into the spotlight again in the run-up to the release of her latest film. And having
00:54:47.780
scrupulously studied other Hollywood actresses, Lawrence knows that the best way to get the attention
00:54:51.960
back on yourself is, of course, to play the victim card. The fact that she has a net worth of like
00:54:57.360
$160 million does not at all hinder her in her access to the victim card. It's quite the opposite,
00:55:02.900
in fact, as we will see. In an interview with Vogue magazine, Lawrence runs through her list of woes.
00:55:10.060
Now, she begins with something that truly is tragic and terrible, and yet she manages to find the least
00:55:17.000
sympathetic possible way to talk about it. So she says that she's suffered miscarriages.
00:55:22.920
Miscarriages are an awful thing. We've been through that in my family as well. But then she
00:55:28.040
quickly adds that she was planning to abort the first miscarriage anyway. In fact, she frames the
0.72
00:55:33.420
whole conversation around the Dobbs decision, explaining that the recent birth of her first child
00:55:39.060
somehow has made her even more steadfast in her support for abortion. She says, quote,
00:55:45.660
I remember a million times thinking about it while I was pregnant, thinking about the things that were
00:55:49.920
happening to my body. And I had a great pregnancy. I had a very fortunate pregnancy. But every single
00:55:54.520
second of my life was difficult, or rather different. And it would occur to me sometimes,
00:55:59.220
what if I was forced to do this? Now, it's really hard to even fathom the derangement in a statement
00:56:05.120
like this. Lawrence was pregnant with a child that she says she wanted, and yet took solace in the fact
00:56:11.500
that she had the option to kill him. It's just the sort of thing that a person should not feel
00:56:16.840
comfortable saying out loud. But many such things are said out loud in a culture devoid of shame.
00:56:22.160
Lawrence then goes on to attack her own family, speaking of being shameless. Reading from the
00:56:26.340
report in Variety, it says, according to Vogue, much of Lawrence's disappointment over Roe v. Wade began
00:56:30.500
being overturned as, quote, directed at certain relatives back in Louisville, Kentucky, where she'd grown up,
00:56:37.420
including her father. The actor had been trying to repair the family rift after giving birth.
00:56:43.360
Then the Supreme Court ruling was made official in complicated matters. Lawrence processed her
00:56:47.820
family drama in therapy. Quote, I just worked so hard in the last five years to forgive my dad and
00:56:53.180
my family and try to understand it's different. The information they're getting is different.
00:56:57.960
Their life is different, Lawrence said. I've tried to get over it, and I really can't. I just can't.
00:57:03.620
I'm sorry. I'm just unleashing. But I can't F with people who aren't political anymore. You live in
00:57:08.320
the United States of America. You have to be political. It's too dire. Politics are killing
00:57:12.420
people. She says, I don't want to disparage my family, but I know that a lot of people are in a
00:57:17.060
similar position with their families. How could you raise a daughter from birth and believe that she
00:57:20.780
doesn't deserve equality? How? She doesn't want to disparage her family, but she will. This already
1.00
00:57:27.660
tells you all you need to know about this person. I mean, we don't value loyalty very highly in this
00:57:31.820
culture, mainly because we don't value anything of value in this culture. But that doesn't let
00:57:36.240
Lawrence off the hook. I mean, if you will attack your own family in public over political
00:57:41.820
disagreements of all things, that tells us that you are a self-absorbed backstabbing brat. But she
1.00
00:57:48.700
isn't done. She also reveals that she has sought therapy over a recurring nightmare that she has
00:57:54.660
involving Tucker Carlson. Then in the same interview, she for some reason confesses that she had her first
00:58:00.400
political awakening moment by watching 30 Rock. And finally, following the script of every self-victimizing
00:58:08.400
woman in Hollywood, the filthy rich Jennifer Lawrence complains about her salary, obviously.
1.00
00:58:14.940
She says, inequality is something, rather this is reading from Vogue again, a variety. Inequality is
00:58:20.780
something Lawrence has had to contend with in Hollywood too, where she has often been paid lower than her
00:58:25.000
male co-stars. The Sony hack revealed that she made far less than the likes of her male co-stars on
00:58:31.080
American Hustle, while reports reveal in 2021 that she earned $5 million less than Leonardo DiCaprio on
00:58:37.340
Don't Look Up, despite sharing top billing with him. Lawrence told Vogue that all actors are often
00:58:42.600
overpaid, but that doesn't make the pay gap any less frustrating. She added, quote, it doesn't matter how
00:58:48.560
much I do. I'm still not going to get paid as much as that guy because of my vagina. Well, no,
1.00
00:58:55.280
Jennifer, it's not because of your vagina. It's because people are more likely to see a movie for
1.00
00:59:01.580
Leonardo DiCaprio than for you. People will actually pay for a ticket because they want to see DiCaprio
00:59:08.220
in a film. People will do that. I'm not sure anyone has ever purchased a ticket just because they want
00:59:13.080
to see Jennifer Lawrence in a film. And I think she's a talented actress. I just don't think people are
00:59:16.360
going to the movies to see her. Now, technically, her films have grossed billions of dollars at the
0.98
00:59:21.160
box office, but that's almost entirely due to Hunger Games and X-Men. And those are both franchises
00:59:26.360
that would have had the same success with literally anyone else in her roles. That's the beauty of
00:59:32.420
franchise films as far as movie studios are concerned. Just like plug anybody in and they'll
00:59:36.860
make a billion dollars. Now, we should also note that Vogue conducted this interview with her,
00:59:42.660
first at an exclusive spa in Santa Monica, and they had a follow-up at Lawrence's mansion in
00:59:48.940
Beverly Hills. So this is the perfect picture of modern victimhood. You have a rich and famous actress
00:59:55.400
lounging in her mansion wearing a bathrobe, which was what she was wearing for the interview,
01:00:00.060
apparently, while complaining that she's oppressed by the patriarchy because one of the top actors in
01:00:05.200
the business made a few million dollars more than her on a film that wasn't any good anyway.

I think there is actually, for the rest of us, though, an important lesson in this. Now, we know
01:00:17.100
that spoiled and pampered people like to claim victimhood for themselves, and we know they do
0.51
01:00:22.320
this partially to virtue signal, partially for political points, partially because it's simply
01:00:27.660
an internal reflex that they barely understand themselves. But at a deeper level, I think
01:00:34.220
the constant self-victimization of extremely comfortable people who live luxurious lives
01:00:40.800
only goes to show that hardship and struggle are really necessary components of a full and healthy
01:00:47.900
life. They're so necessary that when a person is insulated from hardship, they begin to, like, desire
01:00:54.960
it. They want it. They make almost a fetish out of it. A life of unending comfort seems meaningless to
01:01:02.560
them, and so they find ways of convincing themselves that they're persecuted. And they do
01:01:09.340
this, of course, without actually sacrificing any of the comfort because they could give up all the
01:01:13.100
comfort and then really experience the hardship, but they don't want to do that. Their commitment
01:01:17.200
to suffering only goes so far. But it does go to show that perhaps real hardship is not always
01:01:23.660
something to be avoided because the people who succeed in avoiding it entirely only end up wishing
01:01:30.240
that they still had it. And then they end up embarrassing themselves, as Jennifer Lawrence
01:01:35.500
has done here. And it's why she is today finally canceled. And that'll do it for us for this portion
01:01:43.360
of the show as we move to the members block. I'll get used to ending the show somehow eventually this
01:01:48.100
way. We move over to the members block and we'll see you there. If not, see you tomorrow. Godspeed.
