00:00:00.080 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, my expose on Vanderbilt's gender clinic, which butchers and drugs kids, and that's not even the worst of it, has sparked a massive reaction on both the right and the left.
00:00:10.520 Best of all, there's now a push for legislation to finally put a stop to this. I'll give you the latest on this story today.
00:00:15.200 Also, the White House walks back Biden's claim that the pandemic is over. They say not so. Doctors will now start conducting regular screenings for anxiety.
00:00:24.180 Why is that a bad thing? Well, I'll explain. A therapist brags on TikTok about how he indoctrinates and manipulates kids, and in our Daily Cancellation, a philosopher comes to the defense of that teacher in Canada with the giant fake breasts.
00:00:36.840 All of that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:48.020 Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out,
00:00:51.840 and the team at Front Page Magazine has been unmasking these totalitarians since the earliest days of the Internet.
00:00:57.580 Founded by David Horowitz, a former red diaper baby and new leftist who ultimately became an enemy of the left and a best-selling author,
00:01:03.880 Front Page Magazine has spent over two decades combating the radical left's efforts to destroy America.
00:01:09.600 Their two new podcasts, The Right Take with Mark Tapson and The Jason Hill Show,
00:01:13.680 offer riveting interviews and insightful coverage of politics, culture, and current events.
00:01:17.460 The Right Take with Mark Tapson offers fascinating in-depth cultural commentary as well as interviews with well-known conservative thinkers.
00:01:24.140 The Jason Hill Show offers thoughtful, deep dives about the ideologies of the radical left and interviews with renowned intellectuals like Peter Wood and Bruce Gilley.
00:01:32.360 It takes a village to combat the radical left's efforts to destroy America.
00:01:35.960 That's why, as a fan of my show, you should also check out these guys over at Front Page Magazine by visiting frontpagemag.com.
00:01:44.000 And while you're there, support their cause by making a tax-deductible donation.
00:01:48.400 Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out,
00:01:51.240 and no one understands that better than the team at Front Page Magazine.
00:01:54.480 So go to frontpagemag.com today.
00:01:56.980 We moved to Nashville about two years ago and have grown to love the city and the community here.
00:02:03.500 But when I found out that my local hospital, Vanderbilt, drugs and mutilates kids,
00:02:08.540 I knew that that's not something we could tolerate.
00:02:11.760 I don't really want to share this city with groomers and butchers.
00:02:15.980 The town isn't big enough for both of us, you might say.
00:02:18.260 So we decided to investigate the hospital.
00:02:21.320 And I admit that I'm no journalist, but if the actual journalists aren't going to do their job,
00:02:27.020 then it falls to me and to others on the right, like Libs of TikTok and Chris Ruffeau
00:02:31.220 and others who have been working to expose the horrors of gender ideology.
00:02:35.520 And as we dug into this, a story began to reveal itself.
00:02:39.420 Yesterday on the show, I sort of told you that story, took you through it chronologically.
00:02:45.180 It started in 2018 with the unveiling of Vanderbilt's new Transgender Clinic.
00:02:48.920 And they were motivated to get into the gender transition game,
00:02:52.200 in large part because of all the money there is to be made from it.
00:02:55.720 Which in and of itself is maybe not a revelation that they like making money from this.
00:03:00.340 But it was still interesting to hear the video that we played of a doctor
00:03:03.000 boasting about the profitability of transition surgeries, quote unquote.
00:03:08.540 She excitedly declared that bottom surgery for women, 1.00
00:03:11.780 which is the construction of an artificial penis using skin peeled off of the arm or elsewhere on the body,
00:03:16.160 is such a big, quote, moneymaker that some clinics can thrive financially just by performing those surgeries alone.
00:03:22.460 Now, why are they such a cash cow, though? 1.00
00:03:24.460 Well, because, as she says, they're labor intensive and also because they require lots of follow-up.
00:03:30.220 So, yes, if you get one of these surgeries,
00:03:33.440 you will be doomed to a life of continued hospital visits
00:03:37.100 as doctors work to keep your fake sex organs nominally functional. 0.97
00:03:41.440 So, it'll be miserable for you. 0.82
00:03:43.780 I mean, you have signed on to be a patient forever.
00:03:48.140 But it's great for the doctors at Vanderbilt.
00:03:50.120 I mean, they love it.
00:03:51.600 Next, we revealed the intimidation tactics the hospital has used to keep their staff in line.
00:03:56.920 Because, of course, you know, they decided that they're going to start doing this
00:03:59.960 and not everybody's on board with it.
00:04:01.340 Not everybody wants to butcher people and be a party to this,
00:04:05.120 chopping their bodies apart and creating new sex organs and all the rest of it. 0.91
00:04:12.720 And Vanderbilt knew that not everybody was on board.
00:04:14.360 So, according to one video we played,
00:04:15.980 staff were warned that if they conscientiously object
00:04:18.880 or if they exercise their religious liberty,
00:04:21.300 their First Amendment rights, and decline to participate in these procedures,
00:04:24.440 quote, there will be consequences.
00:04:25.860 And if that didn't get the message,
00:04:28.220 Vanderbilt also enlisted an army of trans activists
00:04:30.800 to actually attend appointments with trans patients to include children
00:04:35.580 and conduct essentially surveillance of the doctors,
00:04:39.320 making sure that they're all affirming of the trans identity.
00:04:43.080 And then, of course, there's the pediatric gender clinic,
00:04:45.840 which grew out of the overall transgender clinic.
00:04:50.500 And as I proved with video documentation,
00:04:52.920 as much as we hear denials about this sort of thing now,
00:04:57.220 the fact is that Vanderbilt gives chemical castration drugs to young children.
00:05:02.100 They prescribe cross-sex hormones to 13-year-olds,
00:05:05.700 which are irreversible.
00:05:06.800 They perform double mastectomies, 0.97
00:05:08.460 which are also obviously irreversible on 16-year-olds.
00:05:11.920 And they do all of this by their own omission
00:05:14.860 because there's a lot of money to be made from it.
00:05:18.620 Now, after I released our expose here on the show
00:05:21.740 and on Twitter yesterday, it caught fire, fortunately.
00:05:25.920 My Twitter thread with all these videos
00:05:27.460 has been retweeted over 30,000 times in a day
00:05:30.800 and counting state legislators here in Tennessee have responded,
00:05:34.380 promising that they will work to ban these practices in the state.
00:05:38.020 Our governor, Bill Lee, issued a statement
00:05:39.920 saying in part that Tennessee, quote,
00:05:42.520 should not allow permanent life-altering decisions
00:05:44.980 that hurt children or policies that suppress religious liberties.
00:05:48.380 He called for an investigation into Vanderbilt.
00:05:50.400 There's been a response on the federal level, too.
00:05:53.040 Senator Marsha Blackburn echoed the call for an investigation.
00:05:56.460 The majority leader in Tennessee,
00:05:58.000 in the Tennessee House of Representatives,
00:05:59.700 William Lambert, tweeted, quote,
00:06:01.360 I'm deeply troubled by what Matt Walsh uncovered
00:06:03.400 about the Pediatric Transgender Clinic at VUMC.
00:06:06.380 Governor Bill Lee is right to call for an investigation,
00:06:08.880 and we will support that investigation 100%.
00:06:11.460 This type of child mutilation should be illegal
00:06:14.080 and soon will be in Tennessee.
00:06:16.740 I can also tell you that I've had people within Vanderbilt
00:06:21.720 contact me, encouraging me to continue exposing the institution they work for
00:06:26.980 and offering their help from the inside.
00:06:29.620 I've been in touch with many activists and others here locally
00:06:33.060 and across the country wanting to join in the effort
00:06:35.700 to shut down Vanderbilt's child butchery business.
00:06:38.640 Now, all of this, of course, has provoked the expected reaction from the left.
00:06:44.280 They aren't going to engage in any sort of discussion.
00:06:47.760 They aren't going to attempt to defend Vanderbilt's practices 0.98
00:06:51.420 or explain why it's actually good to chop an adolescent girl's breasts off. 1.00
00:06:55.180 They aren't going to do that. 0.95
00:06:55.900 They aren't going to justify Vanderbilt's intimidation tactics
00:06:58.880 against their own health care providers.
00:07:01.020 They aren't going to do any of that because they can't.
00:07:03.340 Instead, they'll simply try to have me silenced.
00:07:05.320 And if they can arrange it, arrested too.
00:07:08.920 So just reading through a sampling of tweets from some verified accounts,
00:07:13.020 and this, again, is just a small sampling of what's out there.
00:07:16.660 But trans activist Alejandra Caraballo posted, quote,
00:07:20.740 Vanderbilt Medical Center has had to shift medical appointments
00:07:23.500 for its trans clinic to virtual telehealth appointments
00:07:26.180 as a result of threats being made.
00:07:28.700 Matt Walsh is inciting a terror campaign against a hospital
00:07:32.240 and disrupting care. 0.91
00:07:33.460 He will get people hurt or killed.
00:07:36.900 This, of course, is the common theme. 0.99
00:07:38.560 You're going to get people killed.
00:07:39.960 You're killing people by factually reporting on what this hospital is doing. 0.95
00:07:46.440 Noah Berlatsky, who's a bizarre freak who's written for that creepy 0.79
00:07:50.720 pro-pedophile organization, Prostasia, 0.68
00:07:53.780 he tweeted, crying out to Twitter to shut me down, saying,
00:07:57.720 Twitter support, how on earth is Matt Walsh not violating terms of service?
00:08:01.900 You are complicit in terrorism, and you're going to be complicit in murder
00:08:05.440 if you don't take action.
00:08:07.760 This sentiment was echoed by Leah Torres, who's an abortionist, 1.00
00:08:12.240 who, by the way, if you maybe recognize the name from a while ago,
00:08:15.800 she was the abortionist who once bragged about cutting the baby's vocal cords 1.00
00:08:21.140 during an abortion so she can't hear them scream.
00:08:24.240 That's what she said.
00:08:24.920 So she responded, saying, Matt Walsh is off the rails,
00:08:29.140 and he is behaving dangerously.
00:08:31.260 I reviewed his posts just from today, and he's going to get people hurt and or killed.
00:08:35.880 I reported the posts, but that hardly feels like enough.
00:08:40.660 Now, of course, coming from her accusing me of getting people killed,
00:08:43.300 I can't even tell if she means that as a compliment.
00:08:46.360 She then tagged the FBI, of course, because she wants to get the FBI involved, 1.00
00:08:50.160 and so did a leftist creep named Zach Hunt, who says,
00:08:53.260 hey, FBI and Justice Department and MNPD Nashville,
00:08:56.940 Matt Walsh is targeting Vanderbilt Hospital the same way he targeted Boston Children's Hospital.
00:09:01.500 Please intervene before one of his followers starts calling in bomb threats or worse.
00:09:07.560 This is the strategy they've, of course, long since settled on,
00:09:11.800 and it tells you everything you need to know.
00:09:13.660 Because if there was any possible defense of these practices,
00:09:18.400 the left would make that argument. 0.84
00:09:20.800 They'd tell us what the defense is.
00:09:23.160 If there was anything they could say to rationalize it, they would say it.
00:09:28.100 But there's nothing.
00:09:29.040 There's no defense.
00:09:31.300 Vanderbilt, like so many other hospitals and medical clinics,
00:09:34.360 is enriching itself by permanently damaging the bodies and minds of children.
00:09:40.940 It cannot be defended.
00:09:42.320 So instead, they cry incitement and hope that the FBI comes and takes me away.
00:09:49.360 What that means is that these people, at some level,
00:09:52.980 they know that we're right.
00:09:55.660 They know it.
00:09:57.320 All the people responding, FBI,
00:09:59.360 they all at some level know that they're the bad guys here,
00:10:05.080 which makes them even bigger bad guys.
00:10:08.160 Makes you even more evil when you're aware of how evil you are.
00:10:12.320 They know that this is horrific and inexcusable.
00:10:16.100 And they must recognize that fact,
00:10:18.120 or else they wouldn't be so desperate to shut down any conversation about it.
00:10:22.580 If they believe that Vanderbilt was entirely in the right,
00:10:27.600 they would say, yeah, Vanderbilt is doing all of that, and it's good.
00:10:31.320 Thank you for the free advertisements.
00:10:32.600 As a comparison, the left likes to talk about the evils perpetrated by pregnancy centers. 0.68
00:10:44.200 And of course, they say all these things about pregnancy centers,
00:10:46.280 and then pregnancy centers are actually physically attacked,
00:10:49.680 and there's arson and everything else,
00:10:52.540 but that's not incitement.
00:10:56.040 But here's the interesting thing.
00:10:58.360 If somebody on the left were to post a long thread going through,
00:11:05.560 picking out any pregnancy center and saying,
00:11:07.440 look at what this pregnancy center does, 0.99
00:11:09.140 and then they post an accurate description of all the resources
00:11:13.680 and all of the practices of this pregnancy center,
00:11:16.740 as a supporter of pregnancy centers,
00:11:19.160 I would say, great.
00:11:20.900 Yeah, that's exactly what pregnancy centers do. 1.00
00:11:22.800 Thank you for letting people know.
00:11:25.160 Please post more like this.
00:11:26.680 As an advocate and a supporter of pregnancy centers,
00:11:30.040 I am proud of that.
00:11:33.900 If you want to talk about pregnancy centers,
00:11:35.840 we can definitely talk about it.
00:11:37.220 I'm not going to try to shut you down for talking about it.
00:11:42.120 See, that's what you do if you believe you're in the right.
00:11:45.800 If you believe you're in the wrong,
00:11:47.200 then you literally call the police
00:11:49.920 and try to have me thrown in a jail cell
00:11:52.160 just for factually reporting about what this institution is doing
00:11:55.520 and who they're doing it to.
00:11:58.460 Now, as for Vanderbilt's response,
00:12:00.480 they have so far issued no statement,
00:12:02.680 except they did, in effect, issue a statement
00:12:05.200 when they took down their website for their transgender clinic.
00:12:07.820 Now, when I say they took down the website,
00:12:09.680 I mean the whole site.
00:12:12.300 They deleted the entire site,
00:12:15.680 getting rid of all the evidence.
00:12:18.540 Now, unfortunately for them, we anticipated that,
00:12:20.500 and we spent the previous week archiving,
00:12:23.520 saving videos, and taking screenshots,
00:12:24.960 so we have it all.
00:12:26.440 It's too late to get rid of it, guys.
00:12:28.320 We have it.
00:12:30.020 I mean, what I posted yesterday,
00:12:31.660 talked about on the show,
00:12:32.440 that's only a small fraction of what we have.
00:12:34.800 We have the rest of it.
00:12:37.660 But up until now,
00:12:38.840 I mean, how do we get a hold of this stuff?
00:12:40.480 Because up until now,
00:12:42.440 they were posting everything online
00:12:44.580 with reckless abandon.
00:12:45.920 We didn't dig through their trash
00:12:47.440 or secretly film them to get this footage.
00:12:50.380 They filmed it and posted it.
00:12:53.100 The footage of their doctor threatening reprisals
00:12:55.740 for conscientious objections
00:12:56.980 was streamed live to Facebook
00:12:59.400 and then published and posted there
00:13:02.220 and kept there for two years.
00:13:04.700 Same for the video of the woman
00:13:05.920 admitting to Vanderbilt's greed and profit motives.
00:13:10.100 Streamed it.
00:13:10.940 Put it on Facebook.
00:13:11.900 Didn't even take down the stream afterwards.
00:13:14.100 They didn't even say to themselves,
00:13:15.040 oh, well, she went a little off script there
00:13:17.340 with some of this.
00:13:17.780 I think we're going to take this down.
00:13:18.680 No, left it up there.
00:13:22.360 For years, these people did whatever they wanted
00:13:25.000 and they did it out in the open
00:13:26.600 without fear of pushback
00:13:28.640 or of criticism.
00:13:32.440 But those days are over.
00:13:35.520 They're over and they're never coming back.
00:13:38.900 So if you're in the gender butchery business, 0.87
00:13:41.860 you ought to know that.
00:13:43.680 You operated with impunity for a while.
00:13:47.340 But now that's done.
00:13:50.980 And I am not satisfied to simply report
00:13:54.000 on what Vanderbilt is doing.
00:13:56.000 Like I said, I'm not a journalist.
00:13:58.820 I will act the part if I have to
00:14:01.740 because the real journalists won't.
00:14:06.100 But I have an opinion here.
00:14:07.820 I have a perspective.
00:14:10.360 I have an agenda.
00:14:11.360 The agenda is protecting kids
00:14:14.140 and exposing horrors and atrocities
00:14:17.360 where they're happening.
00:14:18.880 And the other part of the agenda
00:14:20.060 is to shut this down.
00:14:22.320 Okay, we're going to put a stop to it.
00:14:24.860 We're going to put a stop to it.
00:14:25.960 We're not going to allow
00:14:26.980 this to happen to children.
00:14:30.880 We're going to make this illegal.
00:14:34.020 That's what happens next.
00:14:36.680 And we're just getting started.
00:14:37.720 Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:14:47.280 Well, I can't say enough good things
00:14:49.440 about my Helix mattress.
00:14:51.380 You know, we got one Helix mattress
00:14:52.660 and we gave it to my daughter
00:14:53.820 for her to sleep in.
00:14:55.420 And then I felt very jealous of that.
00:14:56.960 So we needed to get a second Helix mattress. 0.88
00:14:58.660 And now finally, my wife and I have one.
00:15:01.440 You can get a great night's sleep
00:15:02.880 on a Helix mattress.
00:15:03.980 And if you want to see it for yourself,
00:15:04.980 well, Helix has several different
00:15:06.600 mattress models to choose from.
00:15:07.760 They have soft, medium, and firm mattresses.
00:15:09.660 Mattress is great for cooling you down
00:15:10.900 if you sleep hot.
00:15:12.100 Mattress is great for spinal alignment
00:15:13.760 to prevent mornings, aches, and pains.
00:15:15.420 And even a Helix Plus mattress
00:15:17.080 for plus-size sleepers.
00:15:18.800 Very important as well.
00:15:20.160 They also have a sleep quiz
00:15:21.220 that matches your body type
00:15:22.400 and sleep preference
00:15:23.060 to the perfect mattress
00:15:23.960 because why would you buy a mattress
00:15:25.700 made for someone else?
00:15:26.840 So if you're looking for a mattress,
00:15:28.220 take the quiz, order the mattress
00:15:29.300 that you're matched to
00:15:30.340 and wait for the delivery.
00:15:31.820 Your mattress will come
00:15:33.300 right to your door for free.
00:15:34.480 You don't ever need
00:15:35.420 to go to the mattress store again.
00:15:36.920 They have a 10-year warranty
00:15:37.880 and you get to try it out
00:15:39.180 for 100 nights risk-free.
00:15:40.520 They'll even pick it up for you
00:15:41.440 if you don't love it,
00:15:42.220 but you will, I guarantee it.
00:15:43.540 For a limited time,
00:15:44.180 Helix is offering up to $350
00:15:45.540 off all mattress orders
00:15:46.840 and two free pillows
00:15:48.160 for our listeners.
00:15:49.140 This is their best offer yet,
00:15:50.600 so hurry over
00:15:51.240 to helixsleep.com slash Walsh.
00:15:53.800 I should also tell you
00:15:57.140 that this is one more reason
00:16:01.480 as we're working on this
00:16:03.680 with this story with Vanderbilt.
00:16:05.860 And as I said,
00:16:06.920 this is just,
00:16:07.700 you know,
00:16:07.820 we have good plans here.
00:16:10.480 I can't lay them all out yet,
00:16:11.760 but that will come soon.
00:16:15.260 And this is really just
00:16:16.760 the beginning.
00:16:18.100 You know,
00:16:19.960 we are exposing this in Tennessee
00:16:22.380 because this is where we live.
00:16:24.200 It seems like a logical place to start,
00:16:25.880 but it doesn't end there.
00:16:29.900 But I should tell you that,
00:16:31.300 and this is the truth,
00:16:32.800 that we cannot do any of this
00:16:34.880 without our members supporting us.
00:16:37.520 And you might think,
00:16:38.280 well, you know,
00:16:38.880 why do you need memberships
00:16:39.820 to post a Twitter thread about this?
00:16:41.520 Well, this is actually,
00:16:42.380 this is hours of research
00:16:43.920 and manpower
00:16:45.600 that goes into something like this.
00:16:46.980 because even though
00:16:47.960 they post all this stuff
00:16:48.820 to the internet,
00:16:49.640 it's a lot of stuff to sift through.
00:16:51.620 And most people just don't,
00:16:53.280 you don't have the time
00:16:54.000 or the energy to do it,
00:16:54.600 which is one of the reasons
00:16:55.240 why they've gotten away
00:16:56.060 with it for so long.
00:16:59.020 And that's something
00:17:00.500 we're able to dedicate
00:17:01.620 the resources to because,
00:17:03.520 I mean,
00:17:03.820 directly because of our members.
00:17:06.460 So if you are a member,
00:17:08.160 thank you for that.
00:17:08.940 Thank you for enabling us
00:17:11.560 to fight back in this way,
00:17:14.500 in a way that's meaningful,
00:17:15.460 to like actually try
00:17:16.300 to make a difference.
00:17:17.600 I sit here every day
00:17:18.420 on the show
00:17:18.840 talking about all these
00:17:19.820 awful things happening
00:17:21.360 in the world
00:17:21.860 and it gets exhausting at times.
00:17:24.400 I'm sure it gets exhausting
00:17:25.180 for you and the audience,
00:17:28.460 which is why it's such a relief
00:17:31.920 to know that we can actually
00:17:33.080 do something about it,
00:17:34.220 to take some of these things
00:17:35.680 and say we're not just
00:17:36.540 going to talk about them.
00:17:37.660 We're going to talk about them first
00:17:38.720 to raise awareness,
00:17:40.200 but then we're going
00:17:41.020 to do something about it.
00:17:43.360 All of that is possible
00:17:44.280 because of our members.
00:17:44.920 So thank you to our members.
00:17:45.680 And if you're not a member yet,
00:17:46.620 we encourage you
00:17:47.540 to think about becoming
00:17:49.400 a subscriber
00:17:49.960 and join this team,
00:17:52.760 this movement
00:17:54.100 that we're building.
00:17:55.620 So go to dailywire.com
00:17:56.920 and get a membership today.
00:17:58.820 I want to begin with this
00:17:59.980 in our five headlines.
00:18:02.640 Turning Point USA
00:18:03.780 has this report
00:18:05.600 on their website.
00:18:06.780 It says,
00:18:07.560 Dylan Mulvaney
00:18:08.200 is a man
00:18:09.160 who began publicly identifying
00:18:10.440 as a female
00:18:10.960 just 191 days ago
00:18:12.740 and demands others
00:18:14.060 use she, them pronouns
00:18:15.800 when referring to him.
00:18:17.880 He was invited to speak
00:18:19.060 at the 2022
00:18:20.080 Forbes Power Women's Summit.
00:18:23.920 Mulvaney posted
00:18:24.540 about his experience
00:18:25.340 going to the
00:18:26.160 Forbes conference
00:18:27.720 where he spoke
00:18:28.400 on a panel
00:18:28.980 with two women
00:18:29.800 about his transition journey
00:18:31.840 as well as
00:18:32.800 the social media
00:18:33.720 to mainstream pipeline.
00:18:35.900 The problem
00:18:36.500 with his appearance
00:18:37.000 is the simple fact
00:18:37.600 that he is indeed a man,
00:18:38.420 not a woman 1.00
00:18:38.740 who presents himself
00:18:39.480 as an over-dramatized 0.73
00:18:40.520 parody of a female. 1.00
00:18:42.440 Now we have the tweet
00:18:43.320 from Forbes
00:18:44.080 where they posted
00:18:45.620 an image of
00:18:46.760 this Dylan Mulvaney character
00:18:48.260 and the four
00:18:50.380 at Forbes women
00:18:51.360 says,
00:18:52.820 Dylan Mulvaney speaks
00:18:53.780 about collaboration
00:18:54.800 and authorship
00:18:55.540 at the Forbes
00:18:56.780 Power Women's Summit.
00:19:00.380 This is someone
00:19:01.320 that they've invited
00:19:01.960 to the Women's Summit
00:19:04.140 as a speaker
00:19:05.760 to address women
00:19:07.640 and I want to show you
00:19:09.200 just to give you
00:19:09.920 an example
00:19:10.780 of the kind of thing
00:19:11.760 that Dylan posts.
00:19:12.980 Again, as you heard there,
00:19:14.600 just started
00:19:15.340 quote,
00:19:15.840 identifying as a woman
00:19:16.860 like half a year ago,
00:19:18.940 okay,
00:19:19.200 about six months ago
00:19:20.240 and what does that mean
00:19:22.960 for him?
00:19:24.040 I mean,
00:19:24.140 what does being a woman mean? 0.72
00:19:26.400 Well, here it is.
00:19:27.180 Let's find out.
00:19:29.480 Day six,
00:19:30.340 being a girl
00:19:30.940 and today I'm in nature.
00:19:33.520 Trees,
00:19:34.260 I love them.
00:19:35.820 Water,
00:19:36.420 lakes,
00:19:36.880 I love them.
00:19:38.580 Heels,
00:19:39.200 they're my hiking heels.
00:19:40.300 I love them.
00:19:41.440 Okay,
00:19:41.880 come on.
00:19:42.440 Ha,
00:19:42.880 come here.
00:19:43.480 Ha,
00:19:43.580 ha.
00:19:46.520 Bridges,
00:19:47.160 love them.
00:19:49.920 Coconut water,
00:19:50.920 love it.
00:19:51.540 Not nad,
00:19:52.200 just love it.
00:19:53.760 Wind turbine,
00:19:54.920 love it.
00:19:55.940 Meadows,
00:19:56.640 love them.
00:19:58.300 This is supposed
00:19:58.760 to be what women do. 1.00
00:20:01.700 Is this,
00:20:02.440 is this a woman
00:20:03.780 or is this like
00:20:04.280 a woodland elf?
00:20:07.900 Love ya.
00:20:09.460 Okay.
00:20:12.960 Did you see that?
00:20:14.960 I gotta get out of here.
00:20:16.600 Yeah,
00:20:16.840 this is all kinds of preparation.
00:20:19.060 All right.
00:20:19.340 It's a dragon.
00:20:20.140 Oh my God.
00:20:20.640 Okay,
00:20:20.880 there you go.
00:20:21.260 Never again.
00:20:21.880 Get me out of here.
00:20:22.480 So there's,
00:20:23.400 that's Dylan Mulvaney's
00:20:24.860 journey,
00:20:26.780 becoming a woman.
00:20:28.820 And I only show you that
00:20:30.180 because again,
00:20:30.680 this Forbes
00:20:31.560 invited that person
00:20:33.320 to be a speaker
00:20:34.600 at a women's
00:20:36.720 leadership summit.
00:20:39.940 In an utter cartoon,
00:20:42.800 right?
00:20:43.000 A total mockery
00:20:45.000 of womanhood.
00:20:46.760 And every time
00:20:48.720 I see something like this,
00:20:49.520 I think like,
00:20:50.520 have you ever
00:20:51.220 met a woman?
00:20:53.260 Have you ever
00:20:53.900 even met one?
00:20:55.480 What woman 1.00
00:20:56.240 acts like that?
00:20:57.220 This is,
00:20:57.560 this is an impression.
00:20:59.100 This is like
00:20:59.520 some sort of,
00:21:00.540 it would seem to be
00:21:01.460 a parody,
00:21:02.280 an actual,
00:21:02.700 it would seem almost
00:21:03.340 to be an actual
00:21:03.940 intentional parody
00:21:05.940 of a woman.
00:21:09.200 Because if you've
00:21:10.000 ever met one
00:21:10.960 in your life,
00:21:11.960 you would know
00:21:12.500 that nothing
00:21:13.380 about that
00:21:14.280 strikes a
00:21:16.740 me as remotely
00:21:17.780 feminine.
00:21:22.100 This is what
00:21:22.700 they turn women into 1.00
00:21:23.580 as,
00:21:23.940 well,
00:21:24.040 they turn them
00:21:24.300 into flamboyant 0.99
00:21:25.600 gay men. 0.98
00:21:27.600 What do you know? 0.99
00:21:28.460 Big coincidence.
00:21:31.280 And the irony is
00:21:32.220 that on the right,
00:21:33.560 we're always accused
00:21:34.640 anytime we talk about,
00:21:36.300 if we're talking about
00:21:37.180 abortion,
00:21:38.280 for example,
00:21:39.080 or pro-life convictions
00:21:40.040 as men,
00:21:41.320 the response
00:21:42.040 from people
00:21:42.560 on the left
00:21:42.980 always is,
00:21:44.060 well,
00:21:44.240 you,
00:21:44.520 what do you know
00:21:45.040 about women?
00:21:45.580 Have you ever
00:21:45.820 even met a woman?
00:21:47.380 A bunch of virgins? 1.00
00:21:50.200 This is something
00:21:50.660 they say to me
00:21:51.200 all the time,
00:21:51.660 even though I have
00:21:52.080 six kids now.
00:21:54.280 I'm driving around
00:21:55.080 in my 12-passenger van
00:21:56.700 that I just bought
00:21:57.180 yesterday,
00:21:57.540 by the way,
00:21:58.300 because my wife
00:21:59.340 finally did give in
00:22:00.880 and realized
00:22:01.200 we had to buy the vans.
00:22:01.860 We have this big,
00:22:02.420 I'm driving around
00:22:02.980 in my big massive van,
00:22:04.320 soon to be filled
00:22:04.800 with six kids.
00:22:06.720 And then you've got
00:22:07.240 the left,
00:22:07.700 a bunch of childless
00:22:08.680 leftists.
00:22:09.220 Ah,
00:22:09.420 you virgin! 1.00
00:22:12.440 Which,
00:22:13.000 maybe they really
00:22:14.560 mean it because
00:22:15.060 they don't know
00:22:16.260 where babies come
00:22:17.060 from.
00:22:17.240 They actually
00:22:17.560 don't understand
00:22:18.320 the biology of it,
00:22:19.720 and so that makes,
00:22:20.720 that's an accusation
00:22:21.420 that makes sense to them.
00:22:22.300 So as much as they,
00:22:23.600 like we always talk
00:22:24.100 about on the left,
00:22:24.720 whatever they say
00:22:25.280 about their opposition
00:22:25.840 is actually true of them.
00:22:26.980 So it's nothing but
00:22:27.680 projection all the time.
00:22:29.140 And that's the case here
00:22:30.360 because this is,
00:22:32.180 this is the,
00:22:32.920 the version of womanhood 0.87
00:22:34.860 that they prop up,
00:22:37.180 which is not womanhood
00:22:38.660 at all,
00:22:39.040 but is again
00:22:39.540 a satire,
00:22:40.720 a parody,
00:22:41.540 a cartoon.
00:22:42.180 Okay,
00:22:45.960 I've,
00:22:46.140 I've never known,
00:22:47.260 my wife enjoys being out
00:22:49.540 in nature,
00:22:50.300 out in the woods.
00:22:53.020 Okay,
00:22:53.480 but I've never known her
00:22:54.200 to put on high heels
00:22:55.480 and,
00:22:56.600 and prance
00:22:57.560 through the forest,
00:22:59.380 spinning around
00:23:01.460 and talking about
00:23:02.120 how much she loves
00:23:02.720 everything in the forest.
00:23:05.240 That's,
00:23:06.020 okay,
00:23:06.620 if you got your idea
00:23:08.520 of womanhood
00:23:09.240 from watching
00:23:11.180 1950s
00:23:15.020 Disney cartoons.
00:23:16.760 So if you got your idea
00:23:17.720 of womanhood
00:23:18.600 from Snow White
00:23:19.900 and the Seven Dwarfs,
00:23:21.640 that's basically
00:23:23.020 what this guy's got here.
00:23:26.380 That's something,
00:23:27.160 maybe like a,
00:23:27.520 this is like a Snow White.
00:23:28.480 She's,
00:23:28.660 she's running through the forest
00:23:29.780 and singing
00:23:30.300 and the birds are coming
00:23:31.200 and singing along with her.
00:23:33.760 A literal cartoon
00:23:35.040 is what they've turned
00:23:36.820 womanhood into.
00:23:39.540 I would be,
00:23:40.660 if I was a woman,
00:23:42.760 which in fact
00:23:43.660 I am not
00:23:44.480 and never could be,
00:23:47.400 despite popular misconceptions,
00:23:50.800 I would be
00:23:52.180 deeply
00:23:54.280 offended
00:23:55.880 by that sort of thing.
00:23:57.200 That would be offensive to me
00:23:58.320 to be portrayed
00:24:00.500 in that way.
00:24:02.660 All right,
00:24:03.260 Joe Biden announced
00:24:04.080 a few days ago
00:24:04.760 that the pandemic
00:24:05.680 is over.
00:24:07.360 He announced that
00:24:08.180 on 60 Minutes,
00:24:08.940 but his administration
00:24:09.620 isn't quite ready
00:24:10.540 to give up the pandemic yet.
00:24:11.880 They still have,
00:24:12.920 they still have COVID
00:24:13.780 coordinators on staff
00:24:15.100 for goodness sake.
00:24:15.800 They have,
00:24:16.720 they're using
00:24:18.000 their pandemic powers
00:24:19.080 to ram through
00:24:19.920 unconstitutional measures
00:24:21.080 and they probably have
00:24:21.780 some more they want to do
00:24:22.600 with that power.
00:24:23.460 So they need this.
00:24:24.520 They need the pandemic.
00:24:25.540 They're not ready
00:24:26.040 to give it up.
00:24:27.020 Yet they've got
00:24:27.780 old Uncle Joe up there
00:24:29.260 babbling about how
00:24:30.040 the pandemic is over,
00:24:31.280 going off script.
00:24:32.660 And so now the administration
00:24:33.600 is in cleanup mode
00:24:34.880 and here is
00:24:36.020 Karen Jean-Pierre
00:24:36.800 on MSNBC
00:24:37.480 trying her best
00:24:38.440 to clean up
00:24:39.000 after her boss.
00:24:40.280 Let's see how she does. 0.99
00:24:41.840 The president also
00:24:42.880 in the 60 Minutes interview
00:24:44.300 said that the pandemic
00:24:45.560 is over.
00:24:46.480 There's been quite a bit
00:24:47.180 of pushback
00:24:47.940 to that statement
00:24:49.980 by the president.
00:24:51.000 Where is he today
00:24:52.080 on that?
00:24:52.540 So just to step back
00:24:54.400 for a second
00:24:54.920 what we saw
00:24:55.620 during that interview,
00:24:57.040 60-minute interview
00:24:58.080 when he made those comments.
00:24:59.360 He was walking
00:25:00.220 through the Detroit car show,
00:25:03.720 the halls of the Detroit car show
00:25:05.300 and he was looking around.
00:25:06.580 We have to remember
00:25:07.260 the last time
00:25:08.140 that they had held
00:25:09.000 that event
00:25:09.560 was three years ago.
00:25:11.220 Even as we're talking
00:25:12.160 about UNGA,
00:25:12.780 the president's going
00:25:13.340 to speak shortly
00:25:14.340 as I just mentioned,
00:25:15.700 that hasn't been held
00:25:16.860 in person
00:25:17.660 for about three years
00:25:18.920 as well.
00:25:19.480 So we are
00:25:20.340 in a different time.
00:25:21.820 He's been very consistent
00:25:22.920 about that
00:25:23.520 and the reason why
00:25:24.760 is because we are
00:25:25.440 now prepared.
00:25:26.560 We are now ready.
00:25:27.520 We know how to deal
00:25:29.200 with this pandemic.
00:25:30.480 It is now more manageable.
00:25:32.320 It's not as disruptive
00:25:33.660 as it's been
00:25:35.100 in the prior years.
00:25:37.680 And it is because
00:25:38.920 of what this president
00:25:39.840 has done on day one.
00:25:41.360 If you think about
00:25:42.180 where we were
00:25:43.060 when he walked in,
00:25:44.460 3,000 people
00:25:45.300 were dying a day.
00:25:46.260 That has come down 90%.
00:25:48.220 You think about schools
00:25:49.400 were closed.
00:25:50.040 Now schools are open.
00:25:51.200 Think about businesses
00:25:51.920 were closed.
00:25:52.820 Now businesses are open.
00:25:53.960 And it's because of the work
00:25:55.040 that this administration
00:25:55.780 has done.
00:25:56.580 Now what he has been
00:25:57.380 very consistent about
00:25:58.580 is that we have to continue
00:25:59.860 to have a front foot on this
00:26:01.900 so we have the funding
00:26:03.560 so that we are ahead
00:26:05.460 of this,
00:26:06.600 of any other,
00:26:07.880 you know,
00:26:08.180 as we look at future vaccines
00:26:10.240 and future treatments,
00:26:11.580 we need to make sure
00:26:12.500 that we are ready
00:26:13.520 for that
00:26:14.400 as we're also leading
00:26:15.620 as we're talking
00:26:16.620 the backdrop of UNGA,
00:26:18.280 as we're leading
00:26:19.480 globally as well.
00:26:22.420 Pretty good.
00:26:23.040 You know,
00:26:23.320 I have to admit
00:26:24.540 I don't give her
00:26:25.000 a lot of credit.
00:26:25.560 I'll give her some credit there.
00:26:27.740 Just in her ability to
00:26:29.320 pretty good job
00:26:30.440 filibustering there.
00:26:32.220 Keep on talking,
00:26:33.100 keep on talking
00:26:33.640 to stop them
00:26:34.440 from asking any follow-ups.
00:26:35.540 Not that they would have anyway
00:26:36.420 because it's MSNBC
00:26:37.400 and they're all
00:26:38.860 on the same team.
00:26:40.400 But she was talking
00:26:42.820 around the issue,
00:26:44.060 of course.
00:26:44.420 Usually she doesn't do 1.00
00:26:45.200 a very good job.
00:26:45.740 I mean,
00:26:45.940 that is,
00:26:46.560 if you're a White House
00:26:47.100 press secretary,
00:26:47.740 especially for a Democrat
00:26:48.640 president,
00:26:49.440 that's all you're ever
00:26:50.200 supposed to do
00:26:50.720 is talk around the issues,
00:26:51.760 not answer any questions.
00:26:53.100 Usually she fumbles around 0.74
00:26:54.180 quite a bit with that.
00:26:55.340 She is getting a little better.
00:26:56.240 She's learning.
00:26:57.160 So that's nice.
00:26:58.620 And there she talks
00:27:00.040 for about two minutes.
00:27:01.480 But in summation,
00:27:03.100 if we were to summarize
00:27:03.620 everything she just said,
00:27:04.660 she is claiming
00:27:05.260 that her boss,
00:27:06.240 the President of the United States,
00:27:07.080 was wrong.
00:27:07.840 She's saying,
00:27:08.580 no,
00:27:09.100 he was wrong about that.
00:27:10.760 The pandemic
00:27:11.520 is still ongoing.
00:27:12.560 She didn't come out
00:27:13.020 outright and say it,
00:27:13.800 but that is in fact
00:27:14.420 what she said.
00:27:15.680 Her spin is that,
00:27:16.920 well,
00:27:17.420 the pandemic still happened,
00:27:18.420 but it's under control.
00:27:20.000 And so when he said
00:27:20.540 the pandemic is over,
00:27:21.220 he actually meant
00:27:21.600 that the pandemic
00:27:22.120 is not over,
00:27:23.300 but it's under control.
00:27:24.600 And why did he say that?
00:27:26.400 Because he was walking
00:27:27.360 around at a car show.
00:27:29.720 I don't see the connection.
00:27:31.380 Well,
00:27:32.260 of course he thought
00:27:32.880 the pandemic was over.
00:27:33.840 He was walking around
00:27:34.600 at a car show.
00:27:37.360 You know,
00:27:37.880 and he saw a bunch
00:27:38.500 of empty cars
00:27:39.660 and he didn't see
00:27:40.280 COVID in them.
00:27:41.160 So he thought
00:27:41.680 that's what was happening.
00:27:42.600 He thought there was no COVID.
00:27:44.840 So it started,
00:27:47.040 her explanation
00:27:47.740 started a little bit rough
00:27:48.960 and then,
00:27:49.460 but she pivoted away 1.00
00:27:50.400 from the car show
00:27:51.260 and then just started
00:27:52.160 babbling about COVID response
00:27:53.960 and all this stuff like that.
00:27:55.160 That,
00:27:55.480 that was,
00:27:55.900 that's where we got
00:27:56.380 to the,
00:27:57.780 what,
00:27:58.060 what her, 0.98
00:27:58.600 her job is. 0.74
00:27:59.340 All right.
00:28:03.060 So I want to show you
00:28:04.440 this segment from,
00:28:06.700 and this is also for,
00:28:07.400 this is from NBC
00:28:08.020 about the supposed
00:28:09.340 right-wing effort
00:28:10.880 to ban books.
00:28:13.260 We hear a lot
00:28:14.020 about this now.
00:28:14.940 In fact,
00:28:15.240 sorry,
00:28:15.440 this is from CNN.
00:28:16.340 How do you tell
00:28:16.860 the difference?
00:28:17.260 Anyway,
00:28:18.020 we're constantly hearing
00:28:20.340 about how on the right
00:28:21.540 we're out there
00:28:22.200 just burning books,
00:28:24.300 banning books.
00:28:25.960 Now,
00:28:26.400 as a right-wing extremist
00:28:27.460 myself,
00:28:28.580 and as a stochastic terrorist,
00:28:30.620 I've never been invited.
00:28:32.300 I'm a little bit offended
00:28:33.160 that all these book burnings
00:28:34.540 are happening on the right.
00:28:35.460 I've never even been invited to one,
00:28:36.960 but apparently
00:28:37.800 this is what we're doing.
00:28:39.380 I want you to watch
00:28:40.120 how this segment plays out there.
00:28:41.400 Watch this.
00:28:42.920 In our buried lead,
00:28:43.820 that's what we call stories
00:28:44.600 we do not think
00:28:45.320 are getting enough attention.
00:28:46.820 At least 50 groups
00:28:47.900 are fighting to ban books
00:28:49.240 in U.S. schools.
00:28:50.220 That's according to Penn,
00:28:51.400 a non-profit
00:28:52.060 literary advocacy organization.
00:28:53.860 A new report from Penn
00:28:55.340 says these groups
00:28:56.060 are fighting to ban
00:28:56.840 material related to race
00:28:58.160 and LGBTQ rights
00:28:59.660 and critical race theory
00:29:00.800 and more.
00:29:01.960 Joining us now to discuss
00:29:02.740 Jonathan Friedman.
00:29:03.640 He's the director
00:29:04.120 of free expression
00:29:05.000 and education programs
00:29:06.160 at Penn America.
00:29:07.640 Jonathan,
00:29:08.020 thanks for joining us.
00:29:08.720 Your report breaks down
00:29:09.600 the subject matters
00:29:10.520 for the books
00:29:11.000 that are currently
00:29:11.980 there are pushes
00:29:13.000 for them to be banned.
00:29:14.080 A majority of them
00:29:14.720 have LGBTQ plus themes
00:29:16.580 or have a protagonist
00:29:18.000 of color.
00:29:20.300 Explain more if you would.
00:29:22.400 And obviously,
00:29:23.140 the devil's advocate
00:29:23.960 argument might be
00:29:25.120 to a parent out there,
00:29:26.800 hey, I don't want
00:29:27.340 my first grade reading
00:29:28.380 anything having to do
00:29:29.500 with sexuality,
00:29:30.340 much less LGBTQ 0.97
00:29:31.580 or heterosexual anything.
00:29:34.240 Yeah, thanks for having me.
00:29:35.840 I'm happy to talk about this.
00:29:37.260 You know,
00:29:37.720 in district after district,
00:29:39.280 we've been tracking book bans,
00:29:41.120 efforts to remove
00:29:42.200 and restrict
00:29:42.980 and diminish access
00:29:44.140 to literature
00:29:44.620 for young people.
00:29:45.620 And the trends
00:29:46.640 are very clear
00:29:47.860 that LGBTQ books,
00:29:49.740 books that touch
00:29:50.600 on race and racism,
00:29:51.500 or books that have
00:29:52.440 any kind of sexual content,
00:29:54.040 you know,
00:29:54.240 whether it's a book,
00:29:55.320 a young adult work of fiction
00:29:57.760 that has a couple kissing 0.96
00:29:59.380 or a book teaching
00:30:00.980 a young person
00:30:01.560 about puberty
00:30:02.280 is on the chopping block
00:30:03.880 and it's the same books
00:30:04.980 being targeted everywhere.
00:30:06.480 Now, parents do have a right
00:30:08.240 to get involved,
00:30:09.660 have a voice,
00:30:10.780 bring their concerns
00:30:11.520 to teachers,
00:30:12.280 to librarians,
00:30:12.980 to school districts,
00:30:13.680 but increasingly
00:30:14.880 we are not seeing
00:30:15.940 any kind of regular processes
00:30:18.400 being instituted
00:30:19.480 in response
00:30:20.020 to those demands.
00:30:21.500 Someone demands
00:30:22.320 a book is removed
00:30:23.140 and they don't want it
00:30:24.400 maybe for their own child
00:30:25.260 but immediately
00:30:25.960 that book is taken away
00:30:27.280 for everybody else.
00:30:28.600 You can't run schools that way.
00:30:30.580 Yeah, so you notice
00:30:31.360 what you don't notice there.
00:30:34.020 You notice what's missing.
00:30:35.820 And first of all,
00:30:36.460 he doesn't actually answer
00:30:37.440 the question
00:30:37.940 from Jake Tapper.
00:30:39.560 What about parents
00:30:40.360 who say that there shouldn't
00:30:41.080 be sexual content
00:30:41.960 of any kind,
00:30:43.300 especially in an elementary
00:30:44.140 school classroom
00:30:44.940 or library?
00:30:46.480 Doesn't answer that question.
00:30:48.160 Other thing they don't do
00:30:48.900 is give any examples
00:30:50.400 of the books
00:30:52.020 that are being banned.
00:30:53.660 Because it is true
00:30:54.560 that we on the right,
00:30:56.520 otherwise known
00:30:57.000 as just like rational,
00:30:58.360 morally decent people,
00:31:00.640 which when they say the right,
00:31:01.800 that's actually what they mean
00:31:02.540 these days,
00:31:02.960 which fine,
00:31:03.420 I'll accept it.
00:31:05.040 But we have called
00:31:06.660 for banning certain books
00:31:07.920 from the classroom.
00:31:08.680 But those are books
00:31:12.520 that are explicitly
00:31:14.240 sexual and graphic.
00:31:16.600 And that's why
00:31:17.000 they don't give an example.
00:31:18.400 They don't say,
00:31:18.720 well, here's one specific book
00:31:20.500 that conservatives
00:31:21.740 have wanted to take
00:31:22.360 out of the classroom.
00:31:23.100 Here it is.
00:31:24.680 Much less do they
00:31:25.620 show you any of the images
00:31:27.200 from these books.
00:31:29.300 They're not going to do that
00:31:30.160 because if they did,
00:31:31.760 every single,
00:31:32.380 even the average CNN viewer
00:31:33.840 would see it and say,
00:31:34.720 that's in the classroom?
00:31:36.000 Are you kidding me?
00:31:36.800 That's what you guys
00:31:38.820 are complaining about?
00:31:41.840 One of the books,
00:31:44.000 and there are only
00:31:45.200 sort of really a few books
00:31:47.120 that are in contention here.
00:31:49.440 And they're only in contention
00:31:50.800 because the left came along
00:31:52.900 and said,
00:31:53.300 we want to put these books
00:31:54.160 into the classroom.
00:31:56.840 And then we,
00:31:57.920 who are rational,
00:31:58.560 sane, morally decent people,
00:31:59.440 said,
00:31:59.860 no, you're not putting
00:32:01.180 that in the classroom.
00:32:02.660 The left comes along
00:32:03.380 and says,
00:32:03.700 hey, we got a great idea.
00:32:04.480 We're going to put some
00:32:04.920 pornography in the classroom.
00:32:06.800 And then we say,
00:32:07.980 no,
00:32:08.920 putting porn in the classroom. 0.97
00:32:10.300 Oh, you book burners. 1.00
00:32:11.420 You're just like Nazis. 0.99
00:32:14.800 You're the one 0.98
00:32:15.780 trying to inject this stuff
00:32:16.960 into the classroom.
00:32:18.080 The kids were doing fine
00:32:18.980 without it.
00:32:22.240 They don't want to give you
00:32:23.100 an example because
00:32:24.020 one of the most infamous
00:32:26.380 examples is a book,
00:32:27.260 Genderqueer,
00:32:28.380 which is a pornographic,
00:32:32.440 it's kind of a graphic novel
00:32:33.980 in graphic in multiple
00:32:35.240 senses of the word.
00:32:36.800 And we've talked before
00:32:37.420 about some of the stuff
00:32:38.040 that's in this book.
00:32:39.800 There's pornographic stuff
00:32:41.180 depicting, for example, 0.98
00:32:43.680 fellatio and those sorts
00:32:44.580 of things in the book,
00:32:45.840 pictures of it.
00:32:48.540 But they're not going
00:32:49.180 to show you that.
00:32:51.160 Because like I said,
00:32:51.900 if they showed you that,
00:32:53.220 the average CNN viewer,
00:32:54.360 even the average CNN viewer,
00:32:55.700 if they showed,
00:32:56.280 okay, here's the book,
00:32:57.220 Genderqueer,
00:32:57.640 here's one of the books
00:32:58.360 they want to ban,
00:32:59.580 and here's the page
00:33:00.780 that has really been,
00:33:01.960 come under contention
00:33:02.800 the most,
00:33:03.520 and there you see,
00:33:04.500 you see someone 0.98
00:33:05.240 with a strap-on dildo 0.83
00:33:07.420 and someone else 0.99
00:33:08.120 is performing fellatio 0.99
00:33:09.060 on them. 0.99
00:33:09.480 That's in the book.
00:33:12.400 People watching CNN
00:33:13.300 are going to say,
00:33:13.740 what in the world?
00:33:14.780 You're telling me that
00:33:15.620 is in the classroom?
00:33:17.640 Yep.
00:33:17.900 Of course,
00:33:21.640 Tapper also says
00:33:22.600 that the other books
00:33:23.800 that are being banned
00:33:24.720 are ones where
00:33:25.380 there's a protagonist
00:33:26.140 of color.
00:33:27.500 Because, right,
00:33:28.320 because you've heard
00:33:28.980 conservatives call for that.
00:33:31.260 And think of all
00:33:31.620 the conservatives who said,
00:33:32.460 no, we don't want any books
00:33:33.180 with protagonists of color.
00:33:35.280 Get that book
00:33:35.980 out of the classroom.
00:33:36.740 We've seen all these
00:33:37.380 school board meetings
00:33:38.200 where parents get up there
00:33:39.460 and they present the books
00:33:41.380 that they found
00:33:41.980 in their kids' school's library
00:33:43.880 and they say,
00:33:44.440 we don't want this book.
00:33:45.440 How many of those videos
00:33:46.460 have we seen
00:33:47.000 where the parent stands up
00:33:48.300 and has a book
00:33:49.700 and says,
00:33:50.260 this book doesn't belong
00:33:50.960 in the classroom.
00:33:51.380 It has a protagonist
00:33:52.140 of color in it.
00:33:55.020 How many videos
00:33:55.700 like that have you seen?
00:33:56.340 Well, none at all
00:33:57.760 because those are not
00:33:59.440 the books anyone
00:34:00.000 has a problem with.
00:34:02.420 We're very specific
00:34:03.460 about this.
00:34:04.080 We just don't want
00:34:05.380 graphic pornographic
00:34:07.100 depictions in books
00:34:09.040 given to kids
00:34:09.940 in elementary schools
00:34:11.040 or at any other
00:34:11.940 grade level.
00:34:13.420 That's all.
00:34:15.120 That's our only point.
00:34:20.240 Let's see.
00:34:20.840 NBC has this report.
00:34:21.900 U.S. doctors
00:34:22.600 should regularly screen
00:34:24.440 all adults
00:34:25.140 under 65
00:34:25.960 for anxiety,
00:34:27.500 an influential
00:34:28.020 health guidelines
00:34:28.820 group proposed
00:34:29.480 on Tuesday.
00:34:30.760 It's the first time
00:34:31.320 the U.S.
00:34:31.820 Preventive Services
00:34:32.760 Task Force
00:34:33.480 has recommended
00:34:34.100 anxiety screening
00:34:35.180 in primary care
00:34:36.040 for adults
00:34:36.520 without symptoms.
00:34:37.980 The proposal is open
00:34:38.860 for public comment
00:34:39.640 until October 17th,
00:34:41.080 but the group
00:34:42.140 usually affirms
00:34:43.060 its draft guidance.
00:34:44.400 The recommendations
00:34:44.820 are based on a review
00:34:45.760 that began before
00:34:46.440 the COVID-19 pandemic,
00:34:48.180 evaluating studies
00:34:49.100 showing potential benefits
00:34:50.360 and risks
00:34:50.900 from screening,
00:34:51.940 given reports
00:34:52.540 of a surge
00:34:53.180 in mental health problems
00:34:54.120 linked with pandemic
00:34:54.880 isolation and stress.
00:34:56.400 The guidance
00:34:56.820 is very timely,
00:34:58.000 says Lori Burt,
00:34:59.840 a task force member
00:35:01.580 and co-author.
00:35:04.180 Actually,
00:35:04.720 her name is spelled
00:35:05.900 P-B-E-R-T. 1.00
00:35:07.760 P-Burt?
00:35:08.580 Is that what it is?
00:35:09.660 P-Burt is a psychologist
00:35:10.720 researcher
00:35:11.300 at the University
00:35:11.860 of Massachusetts
00:35:12.340 Chan Medical School.
00:35:14.260 So this is what
00:35:15.120 they're recommending now.
00:35:16.380 And they're recommending it
00:35:17.740 and the recommendations
00:35:18.340 always end up
00:35:19.600 becoming policy.
00:35:21.580 So this is going to be
00:35:22.280 the policy now.
00:35:23.240 We're going to do
00:35:23.560 anxiety screenings
00:35:24.820 for adults
00:35:25.840 without symptoms.
00:35:28.000 And it's the kind of thing
00:35:29.000 that I think
00:35:29.360 if you're not really
00:35:30.000 clued in
00:35:30.480 and paying attention,
00:35:31.760 you might hear that
00:35:32.600 and you might say,
00:35:33.340 well,
00:35:33.560 it sounds like a good idea.
00:35:34.660 Sure,
00:35:35.260 anxiety is a bad thing
00:35:36.680 and why not have
00:35:37.300 a doctor screen for it?
00:35:39.540 This is actually
00:35:40.220 a terrible idea.
00:35:41.540 This is an awful idea.
00:35:43.620 Because I'll tell you
00:35:44.340 what this functions as
00:35:45.380 and I'll tell you
00:35:46.000 what the purpose of it is.
00:35:47.400 It is to funnel
00:35:48.300 more and more people
00:35:49.520 into the pharmaceutical pipeline.
00:35:52.940 Get more and more people
00:35:54.120 on drugs.
00:35:55.120 We don't have enough people
00:35:56.240 on psychotropic drugs already.
00:35:57.480 We don't have enough people
00:35:58.260 on anti-anxiety,
00:35:59.260 antidepressants already.
00:36:01.140 Even though with antidepressants,
00:36:02.480 the medical basis
00:36:05.120 for antidepressants
00:36:06.060 has been destroyed now.
00:36:07.520 It's been revealed
00:36:08.020 to be a fraud.
00:36:08.700 But still,
00:36:09.660 millions of people
00:36:10.960 on these drugs.
00:36:12.020 Not enough though
00:36:12.780 for the system.
00:36:13.480 They want even more people.
00:36:14.840 And so now they're going to
00:36:15.460 start screening you
00:36:16.700 for anxiety symptoms.
00:36:18.800 So if they find
00:36:19.680 hints of anxiety,
00:36:20.740 they can say,
00:36:21.000 well, let's get him
00:36:21.520 on a drug too.
00:36:23.020 Good news,
00:36:23.460 you get to be on a drug.
00:36:26.020 Screening for anxiety symptoms?
00:36:28.960 Everyone has anxiety.
00:36:31.640 It is the human condition.
00:36:34.340 It is one of the most,
00:36:38.800 it is a hallmark
00:36:40.560 of the human condition,
00:36:41.800 in fact, is anxiety.
00:36:42.760 It's one of the things
00:36:43.500 that separates us
00:36:44.540 from the animals.
00:36:45.540 It's one of the defining traits
00:36:48.380 of the human psyche
00:36:50.300 is anxiety.
00:36:53.780 Everyone has it.
00:36:54.640 Every single person.
00:36:55.640 You right now.
00:36:56.420 Every single person watching.
00:36:57.220 You all have anxiety.
00:36:58.400 All of you.
00:36:59.240 Like, there's never been
00:37:00.000 a person who has walked
00:37:01.360 through a day
00:37:01.860 and not experienced anxiety.
00:37:02.880 It has never happened ever
00:37:03.940 in the history of humanity.
00:37:05.120 And so now if we're screening
00:37:09.440 everyone for it
00:37:10.660 on a regular basis,
00:37:11.700 that means that,
00:37:12.580 what do you know?
00:37:13.000 We're going to find
00:37:13.860 millions of more cases
00:37:15.820 of anxiety
00:37:16.460 and that's millions
00:37:17.400 of more customers
00:37:20.120 for the pharmaceutical industry.
00:37:23.660 And not just funneling them
00:37:24.900 into the clutches
00:37:25.400 of the pharmaceutical industry,
00:37:26.620 but also into the clutches
00:37:27.720 of therapists
00:37:28.500 and counselors,
00:37:29.280 which is a problem
00:37:31.500 as well.
00:37:33.020 Because although
00:37:33.820 in theory,
00:37:35.480 therapy and counseling
00:37:36.400 can be a good thing,
00:37:37.960 I mean,
00:37:38.160 the whole idea
00:37:38.660 behind therapies,
00:37:39.760 you go and you talk
00:37:40.620 to someone,
00:37:41.000 you talk about your problems,
00:37:42.200 in theory,
00:37:42.760 that's a very good thing.
00:37:43.740 And there are very good
00:37:44.660 therapists and counselors
00:37:45.380 out there.
00:37:45.860 But a lot of them
00:37:48.820 are rabid ideologues
00:37:50.620 and gender ideology cultists
00:37:53.480 with their own agenda.
00:37:56.220 And their agenda
00:37:56.980 has nothing to do
00:37:57.800 with anything therapeutic.
00:37:59.240 They're not looking
00:37:59.560 to help you
00:38:00.080 with your problems.
00:38:02.380 So for example,
00:38:03.300 here's a viral TikTok
00:38:04.200 posted by Libs of TikTok.
00:38:05.840 Well, reposted.
00:38:06.860 She didn't post it initially.
00:38:09.660 This is from a therapist
00:38:10.980 and this is a TikTok
00:38:14.100 that he posted.
00:38:16.400 And this is what therapy
00:38:18.300 is today in so many cases.
00:38:19.900 So we'll play it
00:38:20.740 and we'll read the captions
00:38:22.540 up here,
00:38:22.840 but go ahead and play it.
00:38:25.460 So it says,
00:38:26.420 point of view,
00:38:26.880 your homophobic, 1.00
00:38:27.680 transphobic parents 1.00
00:38:28.620 drop you off to therapy 0.89
00:38:29.660 thinking I'm a hetero.
00:38:31.940 And he starts dancing. 0.95
00:38:33.860 Me, queer as F,
00:38:35.620 here to validate
00:38:36.340 your feelings,
00:38:37.080 support you,
00:38:37.720 talk about oppression,
00:38:38.780 and challenge your parents.
00:38:41.040 And this is, again,
00:38:41.780 something he posts
00:38:42.320 willingly to TikTok
00:38:43.420 for everyone to see.
00:38:45.220 So he says,
00:38:45.940 here's what he's
00:38:46.440 actually here to do.
00:38:47.180 Put the back
00:38:47.880 up on the screen
00:38:48.460 for a second.
00:38:50.100 The end of that.
00:38:51.840 What he's actually
00:38:52.560 here to do,
00:38:54.480 so the parents
00:38:55.680 drop the kids off
00:38:56.520 thinking that,
00:38:57.120 well,
00:38:57.240 am I going to get
00:38:57.600 my kids therapy?
00:38:59.120 They need some help.
00:39:00.020 They have emotional problems.
00:39:01.720 Makes sense as a parent.
00:39:02.740 You'd like to think
00:39:03.280 that you could trust
00:39:04.280 a therapist.
00:39:05.180 But he says,
00:39:05.820 no,
00:39:06.000 that's not,
00:39:06.460 his agenda is not that.
00:39:07.300 His agenda, 0.97
00:39:08.440 because he's queer as F, 0.99
00:39:10.380 is to validate
00:39:11.880 your feelings,
00:39:13.080 support you,
00:39:14.360 talk about oppression,
00:39:15.280 and challenge your parents.
00:39:17.900 That is not therapy.
00:39:19.660 That is not counseling.
00:39:23.380 Validating your feelings
00:39:24.780 is not just not therapy,
00:39:28.960 that's the opposite
00:39:30.440 of what a therapist
00:39:31.620 is supposed to do.
00:39:32.780 If the patient
00:39:36.320 is going to sit down there
00:39:37.420 and the client
00:39:39.480 is going to sit down there
00:39:40.320 and you're going to
00:39:41.100 validate whatever they say,
00:39:42.580 why are they there?
00:39:44.120 What are you there for?
00:39:45.460 What's the function exactly?
00:39:47.940 They're not supposed
00:39:48.660 to be there to validate
00:39:49.700 whatever unreasonable,
00:39:51.480 delusional thing
00:39:53.460 you might think
00:39:54.320 to validate
00:39:55.900 and affirm
00:39:56.880 your lack of perspective,
00:39:58.400 your confusions.
00:39:59.900 They're supposed to be there
00:40:01.100 for clarity.
00:40:03.320 and perspective.
00:40:06.860 And if a child
00:40:07.820 isn't getting along
00:40:08.620 with his parents,
00:40:10.420 the therapist
00:40:11.500 is supposed to help
00:40:12.380 heal that relationship,
00:40:14.340 help the child
00:40:15.480 see more clearly,
00:40:16.940 help the child
00:40:17.480 understand his feelings
00:40:18.740 and his thoughts,
00:40:20.380 and help to heal
00:40:21.620 the divide
00:40:22.300 between parent and child.
00:40:24.820 But now,
00:40:25.540 for so many of these people,
00:40:26.640 as they will
00:40:27.340 willingly announce
00:40:29.000 for everyone to see,
00:40:30.880 they see their job
00:40:31.900 as the opposite of that.
00:40:32.440 Their job is to sever
00:40:33.480 the parent-child relationship,
00:40:34.940 destroy it, 0.94
00:40:36.340 and to take all 0.94
00:40:38.260 of the mental confusion
00:40:39.420 that's causing the problem
00:40:40.380 and encourage it.
00:40:43.920 And there's going to be
00:40:44.760 more victims
00:40:45.460 as we start screening people
00:40:47.400 for anxiety
00:40:48.080 and depression
00:40:48.620 and all these other things.
00:40:49.660 that means sending them
00:40:52.040 more into therapists.
00:40:52.720 And then what happens?
00:40:54.240 So someone gets screened.
00:40:55.720 Maybe your kid gets
00:40:56.400 a little anxiety screening
00:40:57.900 and the doctor says,
00:40:58.760 yep, got some anxiety.
00:41:00.120 Let's get him on drugs, 0.99
00:41:01.240 send him to a therapist.
00:41:02.500 Sits down with the therapist
00:41:03.500 and the therapist says,
00:41:04.460 well, you know,
00:41:04.860 I've figured out
00:41:05.300 what your anxiety is all about.
00:41:06.240 It turns out that,
00:41:07.220 well, you think you're a boy,
00:41:08.000 but you're actually a girl.
00:41:08.880 That's what the anxiety is.
00:41:09.820 And your parents
00:41:11.900 will tell you otherwise.
00:41:12.500 Don't listen to them. 1.00
00:41:13.360 They're a bunch of scumbags 1.00
00:41:14.200 and they're oppressive 1.00
00:41:15.500 and bigoted.
00:41:16.280 Don't listen to them.
00:41:19.360 This is the process.
00:41:22.540 This is how you trans
00:41:23.640 an entire generation,
00:41:24.640 which is what they're doing
00:41:25.280 right now.
00:41:26.700 All right.
00:41:27.340 Let's get to the
00:41:28.180 comment section.
00:41:28.860 Who makes a Twitter mob
00:41:30.860 fly off the handle with rage?
00:41:35.040 Who's to blame?
00:41:38.100 It's a sweet baby game.
00:41:39.820 Matthew says,
00:41:44.740 Bexar County is pronounced
00:41:47.120 Bear County for future reference.
00:41:49.100 Please don't say Bexar County again.
00:41:51.060 It is a macro aggression,
00:41:52.440 not micro.
00:41:53.140 You're also canceled
00:41:53.880 for this offense.
00:41:54.740 No, that's not how it's pronounced.
00:41:56.900 And there are many
00:41:57.580 other comments too,
00:41:58.820 because I talked about
00:41:59.460 Bexar County
00:42:00.200 and the Democrat sheriff
00:42:01.280 down there that wants
00:42:01.900 to arrest Ron DeSantis.
00:42:03.380 All these comments.
00:42:04.040 It's pronounced Bear County.
00:42:06.260 No, you're wrong.
00:42:07.800 Okay.
00:42:08.160 You live in Bexar County
00:42:09.700 and you are actually wrong
00:42:11.260 about how your own town
00:42:12.460 is pronounced.
00:42:13.660 I am telling you
00:42:14.380 as an outsider
00:42:14.860 how to actually pronounce it.
00:42:16.580 B-E-X-A-R 1.00
00:42:18.080 is not pronounced Bear.
00:42:20.300 There is no version
00:42:21.520 of the English language
00:42:22.920 that would arrive,
00:42:24.760 that can make Bear
00:42:26.360 out of B-E-X-A-R. 0.99
00:42:27.960 It's Bexar.
00:42:30.720 Hate to tell you,
00:42:32.140 you've been pronouncing it
00:42:32.800 wrong this whole time.
00:42:35.120 That's how you pronounce it.
00:42:37.160 Letters have,
00:42:39.100 there are certain sounds
00:42:40.320 that letters make,
00:42:41.680 and this is how you learn
00:42:43.200 English in the first place.
00:42:44.240 This is how we teach kids.
00:42:46.980 And I know English
00:42:47.880 can get a little funky sometimes
00:42:49.180 and you've got silent letters
00:42:50.360 and all these different things,
00:42:51.620 but there have to be limits to it.
00:42:53.480 Okay, you can't,
00:42:58.300 we have to draw the line somewhere.
00:43:04.000 It is Bexar County.
00:43:06.860 Rachel says,
00:43:07.840 my eighth grader wrote hee-haw
00:43:09.880 as his preferred pronouns
00:43:11.260 in his health class.
00:43:12.160 I told him that it was
00:43:12.720 my proudest parenting moment to date.
00:43:15.380 And rightfully so, rightfully so.
00:43:18.060 That is exactly how
00:43:19.600 kids should respond.
00:43:20.680 Make a joke out of it.
00:43:23.080 Make a mockery of it.
00:43:24.360 Fantastic.
00:43:25.520 Jay Stoss says,
00:43:26.280 I thought Matt was going to cancel
00:43:27.360 the rapping grandma.
00:43:28.440 He was even reclining back
00:43:29.480 in his chair at the end of the video,
00:43:30.480 which he always does,
00:43:31.080 but right before he tears into somebody.
00:43:32.800 It just goes to show that
00:43:33.700 though we may know Matt Walsh,
00:43:35.220 we don't really know him.
00:43:36.320 He is beyond our understanding,
00:43:37.880 beyond us mortal humans.
00:43:39.940 Matt Walsh simply is.
00:43:43.600 Well, why would you think
00:43:44.720 that I would want to cancel?
00:43:45.580 Well, you're banned from the show for that.
00:43:47.100 Why would I cancel?
00:43:48.560 I don't have a policy of canceling
00:43:50.120 every single person
00:43:50.960 who performs a kind of awkward
00:43:53.260 and embarrassing rap.
00:43:54.220 That's not a policy on this show.
00:43:57.240 If you've got the wholesome quotient,
00:43:58.980 I might not be a very wholesome guy myself.
00:44:00.820 I might not always appreciate
00:44:02.160 wholesome things.
00:44:03.980 But you know what?
00:44:04.780 Wholesomeness can go a long way,
00:44:06.220 I think.
00:44:07.040 You can get away with a lot
00:44:08.520 if you're wholesome.
00:44:09.380 And the grandma, 0.98
00:44:10.080 she was wholesome.
00:44:10.900 And so it's allowed.
00:44:13.260 Ashley says,
00:44:14.060 my favorite part of the show
00:44:15.020 is when Matt tells sweet stories
00:44:16.680 about his kids.
00:44:17.860 Well, they aren't just sweet.
00:44:18.620 I mean, I try to tell stories
00:44:19.780 that are funny.
00:44:20.400 I'm not up here like,
00:44:21.880 let me tell you about
00:44:22.500 another cute thing my kid did.
00:44:25.120 See, there seems to be
00:44:25.740 a bit of a false narrative
00:44:26.640 building here,
00:44:27.340 which is why I want to address this.
00:44:28.400 Because last night,
00:44:29.620 one of our super fans on Twitter,
00:44:31.640 after watching backstage,
00:44:33.220 she tweeted,
00:44:34.460 and she said that she thought
00:44:35.500 I was such a sweetheart
00:44:37.380 during backstage.
00:44:39.320 I said, what?
00:44:39.820 What kind of irresponsible
00:44:43.020 misinformation is this?
00:44:45.720 This is dangerous misinformation
00:44:47.300 and a threat to our democracy.
00:44:51.200 I will tell you one sweet story
00:44:52.460 about my kid.
00:44:53.160 Fine.
00:44:54.480 There's nothing funny
00:44:55.460 that happens at the end of this,
00:44:56.700 but this is just,
00:44:57.480 I'll give you one.
00:44:58.320 So last night,
00:45:00.100 I get home from backstage
00:45:01.120 and my nine-year-old daughter
00:45:03.420 comes out of her room
00:45:04.240 and says,
00:45:05.380 Daddy, I've been waiting up for you.
00:45:06.860 I need to show you something.
00:45:07.800 So she was waiting up to show me.
00:45:09.040 So she waited,
00:45:09.360 it's like two hours
00:45:09.960 she was waiting up.
00:45:10.880 And then I go into her room,
00:45:11.720 she hands me her little notepad
00:45:13.080 where she had written a song.
00:45:15.580 And she waited up for like two hours
00:45:18.060 to show me the song that she wrote.
00:45:20.260 And it was a very sweet song
00:45:22.500 and it was very nice.
00:45:25.820 It was a little derivative
00:45:26.800 of other songs I've heard.
00:45:28.820 You know,
00:45:29.080 there might be some plagiarism,
00:45:30.200 a little bit,
00:45:31.360 but it was still,
00:45:32.400 it was very cute,
00:45:33.240 very nice.
00:45:33.540 Peter Van Eden says,
00:45:38.220 Hi, Matt.
00:45:39.300 What happened to that trans PhD student 0.94
00:45:41.280 that was calling for sending drugs
00:45:42.460 to other transgenders by mail?
00:45:44.060 That story became very quiet.
00:45:46.220 I, yeah, Eli Ehrlich.
00:45:47.300 I have not forgotten about that.
00:45:48.700 I can tell you that.
00:45:50.740 That's,
00:45:52.140 just like Vanderbilt,
00:45:55.620 this is not something
00:45:56.640 that I'm going to forget about
00:45:57.980 because that's part of the story.
00:45:59.200 So we have the ways
00:46:02.220 that kids are legally right now
00:46:04.520 drugged and mutilated.
00:46:06.120 And we got to do something about that.
00:46:07.960 But then even when you stop it
00:46:09.620 from happening legally,
00:46:10.640 I mean,
00:46:10.820 that's going to put,
00:46:11.320 that's going to save a lot of kids
00:46:12.520 just on its own.
00:46:14.080 But there are also
00:46:14.760 the underground black market operations.
00:46:18.180 Eli Ehrlich is one example of that,
00:46:20.260 not the only one.
00:46:21.640 So that's something
00:46:22.520 we're working on too.
00:46:23.900 I'll just tell you that.
00:46:24.560 We haven't forgotten about it.
00:46:25.600 I'll also say that
00:46:29.720 not everything can be achieved
00:46:31.860 by talking about it publicly.
00:46:38.480 Heberth Alvarez says,
00:46:40.400 careful, Matt.
00:46:41.100 Ben is trying to commit
00:46:41.920 facial hair appropriation.
00:46:43.520 You can't let him
00:46:44.280 appropriate flannel.
00:46:45.720 No, I'm,
00:46:46.280 yeah, I did see Ben
00:46:47.300 backstage last night,
00:46:48.680 had a little bit of facial hair
00:46:49.400 going on.
00:46:50.660 There's no appropriation here.
00:46:52.040 I always welcome,
00:46:53.700 I'm very tolerant
00:46:54.680 and welcoming
00:46:55.240 and inclusive
00:46:56.220 in the bearded
00:46:58.280 facial hair community
00:46:59.180 and I welcome anybody in.
00:47:01.580 I welcome anybody in.
00:47:03.620 It's sort of like
00:47:03.960 a long lost brother,
00:47:05.160 you know,
00:47:05.760 so I think that's
00:47:06.460 a wonderful thing.
00:47:09.060 And finally,
00:47:09.820 Adam says,
00:47:10.340 Matt,
00:47:10.500 I appreciated your discussion
00:47:11.560 about porn
00:47:12.200 during backstage last night,
00:47:13.660 but I thought you personally
00:47:14.740 came off as holier than thou
00:47:16.320 and judgmental
00:47:17.420 to those who struggle
00:47:18.700 with watching porn.
00:47:21.920 With respect,
00:47:22.960 if you thought that
00:47:23.940 from watching the discussion,
00:47:24.840 then I can only think
00:47:25.940 that you weren't watching
00:47:26.900 it very carefully.
00:47:29.940 Just because we're talking
00:47:31.060 about something
00:47:31.580 and saying that it's bad
00:47:32.560 and we shouldn't do it,
00:47:33.400 that's not holier than thou.
00:47:35.220 Holier than thou
00:47:36.140 is if I were to stand up
00:47:37.740 and say,
00:47:38.220 I am better than all of you
00:47:39.700 and I follow my example.
00:47:42.960 That's not how I approach
00:47:44.000 any conversation.
00:47:45.840 We're just talking
00:47:46.720 about the issue
00:47:47.420 and there are some realities
00:47:49.260 with pornography
00:47:50.000 and none of the realities
00:47:51.740 are good.
00:47:52.840 It is a dirty,
00:47:54.020 shameful,
00:47:55.220 awful thing,
00:47:56.240 which is why men
00:47:57.820 who suffer from porn addiction
00:47:58.700 want to get over it.
00:47:59.580 I mean,
00:47:59.700 they know this.
00:48:00.760 They don't need me
00:48:01.200 to tell them that
00:48:01.880 and they wouldn't disagree.
00:48:05.520 I think,
00:48:06.200 and you should,
00:48:06.800 that was the members block
00:48:08.180 of the backstage last night,
00:48:10.880 which is another reason
00:48:11.360 to become a member
00:48:11.860 so you can watch
00:48:12.540 great content like that,
00:48:13.440 but I thought it was
00:48:13.860 a really interesting conversation
00:48:14.980 and I enjoy backstage the most
00:48:18.200 when we get into
00:48:19.340 kind of debates and arguments
00:48:20.540 and the reason why
00:48:21.720 the debates are interesting
00:48:23.100 is because we agree fundamentally
00:48:25.340 on the basic principles
00:48:29.680 and when you agree
00:48:31.400 on the basic principles,
00:48:32.280 you can have much more
00:48:33.160 interesting arguments.
00:48:34.100 This is why debates
00:48:35.100 in our culture generally
00:48:36.260 are so uninteresting
00:48:37.720 and tedious and boring
00:48:38.900 and they don't amount to anything
00:48:40.740 or go anywhere
00:48:41.560 because there's a fundamental
00:48:43.860 disagreement about
00:48:44.580 the basic principles
00:48:45.320 and so you can't get anywhere
00:48:46.660 in the conversation.
00:48:47.960 You can't get past square one
00:48:49.300 because you are,
00:48:52.380 you know,
00:48:53.060 you're living
00:48:53.640 in two different universes
00:48:54.460 but when you can agree
00:48:56.420 on the basic principles,
00:48:57.540 then it allows you
00:48:58.260 to get a little bit deeper
00:48:59.060 into the weeds
00:48:59.540 and talk about
00:49:00.020 more interesting things
00:49:00.820 and so that was
00:49:01.280 what was happening
00:49:01.820 in that porn conversation.
00:49:03.820 I'm not going to rehash
00:49:04.440 the entire thing.
00:49:05.600 I will just reiterate
00:49:06.480 the point that I was trying
00:49:07.500 to make
00:49:07.820 in that conversation.
00:49:11.560 which is that,
00:49:13.260 well,
00:49:13.680 there's two things.
00:49:16.600 There's this idea
00:49:17.500 that, well,
00:49:18.060 all men look at porn 0.82
00:49:19.180 and there's nothing
00:49:19.980 that can be done about it.
00:49:20.800 Everyone looks at it
00:49:21.560 and you can't,
00:49:22.320 you know,
00:49:22.500 you can't really stop men
00:49:23.480 from doing it.
00:49:24.260 Men can't stop themselves.
00:49:26.000 That wasn't said
00:49:26.580 exactly in the conversation
00:49:27.460 but, you know,
00:49:27.980 there's this idea
00:49:29.120 in general
00:49:29.620 that you hear sometimes
00:49:30.440 and I reject that.
00:49:34.520 You know,
00:49:34.960 I reject that it's,
00:49:36.100 that it's this automatic
00:49:39.360 uncontrollable thing.
00:49:40.880 I reject it.
00:49:41.460 It's not true.
00:49:43.040 It is,
00:49:44.260 in fact,
00:49:44.560 possible to not look at porn.
00:49:46.860 Now,
00:49:47.200 if you have an addiction
00:49:48.040 and especially
00:49:48.860 if you've been
00:49:49.500 immersed in this addiction
00:49:51.340 from childhood
00:49:52.420 and your very,
00:49:54.480 your fundamental notions
00:49:55.940 of human sexuality
00:49:56.860 have been warped 0.84
00:49:57.600 and perverted 0.67
00:49:58.140 by this filth 0.97
00:49:59.300 that you've been
00:50:00.100 swimming in
00:50:00.860 from a young age,
00:50:02.280 then getting past that,
00:50:03.580 that is very difficult.
00:50:04.700 but it is possible
00:50:08.020 to not look at pornography
00:50:11.080 like as a man
00:50:12.080 that doesn't have
00:50:12.620 to be part of your life.
00:50:15.680 It's not a judgmental
00:50:16.820 holier-than-thou statement.
00:50:17.800 I think that's actually,
00:50:18.360 that's a message of hope.
00:50:20.260 Like you don't have to,
00:50:21.180 this is not,
00:50:22.580 this doesn't automatically
00:50:23.600 come with the territory.
00:50:24.520 It is possible
00:50:25.160 to have a life
00:50:25.800 totally free of this filth.
00:50:27.920 You can,
00:50:28.260 that is possible,
00:50:29.500 very possible.
00:50:30.280 But then the other part
00:50:33.440 of it is that
00:50:33.860 I think we have to
00:50:35.060 validate,
00:50:37.720 to use the leftist,
00:50:38.720 to use the leftist term,
00:50:39.660 there validate
00:50:40.180 the feelings of women
00:50:42.600 and of wives
00:50:43.560 who feel totally devastated
00:50:45.660 and destroyed
00:50:47.080 by their husbands
00:50:48.520 looking at pornography.
00:50:49.740 I mean,
00:50:49.940 the way they see it
00:50:51.000 is when they're,
00:50:52.400 you know,
00:50:52.640 their husband's upstairs
00:50:53.540 looking at other people 0.99
00:50:55.000 have sex 0.99
00:50:55.620 while she's down 0.99
00:50:56.380 taking care of the kids.
00:50:57.280 I mean,
00:50:57.420 she sees this as a
00:50:58.600 total betrayal
00:51:00.260 and I agree with her.
00:51:03.080 She should see it that way.
00:51:05.100 She's not crazy
00:51:05.820 for seeing it that way.
00:51:09.020 That's how men 0.99
00:51:09.760 should see it.
00:51:12.520 It gives you
00:51:13.120 all the more motivation
00:51:13.960 to try to free yourself
00:51:14.980 from this.
00:51:17.340 Because when you look
00:51:18.120 at porn,
00:51:18.540 especially if you're
00:51:19.000 a married man,
00:51:19.980 that is not a victimless
00:51:21.140 crime.
00:51:23.640 It's not neutral.
00:51:25.420 You're actually
00:51:26.120 hurting people.
00:51:26.860 I mean,
00:51:26.980 you're hurting yourself
00:51:27.720 and you're hurting
00:51:28.760 your family
00:51:29.240 and your wife
00:51:29.820 and your kids.
00:51:30.400 You're hurting everybody
00:51:31.080 that's closest to you,
00:51:32.860 people you love the most.
00:51:35.700 So that's the point
00:51:36.580 I wanted to make.
00:51:38.400 I'm not sure
00:51:38.960 where you see
00:51:39.280 the holier than thou
00:51:39.960 in that.
00:51:41.220 There are two ways
00:51:42.380 to absolutely stop
00:51:43.240 the left-inch tracks.
00:51:44.420 The first is to point out
00:51:45.700 their lunacy.
00:51:46.440 The second is to take
00:51:47.260 as much money away
00:51:48.300 from them as possible.
00:51:49.520 And if you're a regular
00:51:50.720 listener to this show,
00:51:52.320 you're doing the former.
00:51:53.460 If you made the decision
00:51:54.580 to stop supporting
00:51:55.480 Harry's or Gillette's
00:51:56.580 and go to Jeremy's Razors,
00:51:57.880 then you're doing both
00:51:59.040 now.
00:51:59.920 But if you haven't
00:52:00.800 heard yet,
00:52:01.420 we've got a brand new
00:52:02.460 incentive for you.
00:52:03.420 It's the Jeremy's Razors
00:52:04.840 contest for the car.
00:52:07.100 Why do we call it that?
00:52:07.980 Because it's a contest
00:52:08.920 for a car.
00:52:10.000 Here's how it works.
00:52:10.540 For every person
00:52:11.360 you refer,
00:52:12.160 whether they buy
00:52:12.700 a Jeremy's Razors kit
00:52:13.600 or a Daily Wire
00:52:14.180 annual membership,
00:52:15.520 you both get points
00:52:16.920 in the race to win
00:52:17.800 the God Kings McLaren.
00:52:19.180 And if someone from
00:52:20.440 the Sweet Baby Gang
00:52:21.080 wins this thing,
00:52:22.140 it'll warm my heart.
00:52:23.180 So get out there
00:52:24.060 and start hustling.
00:52:25.000 To sign up and start competing,
00:52:26.460 go to jeremysrazors.com

00:52:28.980 The race for the car
00:52:29.600 ends on November 1st.
00:52:31.020 So get into the competition
00:52:32.420 today.

00:52:42.360 excluding residents
00:52:43.040 of Colorado,

00:52:45.980 and U.S. territories
00:52:46.840 and possessions
00:52:47.500 18 and older.
00:52:48.660 Remember,
00:52:49.540 friends don't let friends
00:52:50.800 shave with woke razors.
00:52:52.820 Now let's get to
00:52:53.340 our daily cancellation.
00:52:58.640 So you have at this point
00:53:00.100 certainly heard the story
00:53:01.280 about the teacher in Canada
00:53:02.600 who enjoys wearing 0.98
00:53:04.560 giant prosthetic breasts 1.00
00:53:05.900 to class, 0.99
00:53:06.600 acting out his perverse 0.99
00:53:07.560 sexual fantasies 1.00
00:53:08.460 in front of his students. 0.85
00:53:09.500 In fact,
00:53:10.200 he forces them
00:53:10.860 to participate,
00:53:12.280 in effect,
00:53:12.940 in his fetish
00:53:13.660 against their will
00:53:14.480 just by being there.
00:53:15.960 The story has resonated
00:53:16.900 because I think
00:53:17.660 it's so disturbing
00:53:18.380 and weird and shocking.
00:53:19.420 That's one reason
00:53:19.900 why it's caught
00:53:20.660 people's attention.
00:53:22.280 Nobody could have
00:53:22.980 predicted it exactly,
00:53:24.240 but I think 0.72
00:53:25.280 this pervert in Canada 1.00
00:53:26.400 with his giant fake breasts 1.00
00:53:27.980 may serve as a turning point 0.99
00:53:30.560 for the culture
00:53:31.140 because people can finally see
00:53:33.440 where gender ideology leads. 1.00
00:53:35.780 Even those who,
00:53:36.720 to this point,
00:53:37.400 generally went along with it
00:53:38.760 using preferred pronouns
00:53:39.920 and so on,
00:53:40.720 all in the name
00:53:41.320 of being polite.
00:53:42.160 They wanted to be polite.
00:53:42.780 now they're beginning
00:53:43.720 to notice
00:53:44.380 the slope
00:53:45.560 that they're rapidly
00:53:46.480 slipping down
00:53:47.240 because if you start
00:53:48.260 affirming everybody,
00:53:49.700 no matter how degraded
00:53:50.660 their self-perception
00:53:51.400 might be,
00:53:52.360 you quickly end up
00:53:53.440 with things like this.
00:53:54.960 You end up with fetishists 0.74
00:53:56.060 wearing sex aids 0.78
00:53:57.080 to school
00:53:57.600 and that's far
00:53:59.440 from the worst of it.
00:54:00.820 But not everybody
00:54:01.600 is ready to condemn 0.98
00:54:02.560 the man with the fake breasts. 0.98
00:54:04.000 Peter Bokassian, 0.95
00:54:05.320 who builds himself
00:54:06.500 as a philosopher,
00:54:07.340 tweeted a picture
00:54:08.620 of the infamous fetishist
00:54:09.940 along with the caption,
00:54:10.800 quote,
00:54:12.800 most people have
00:54:13.580 strong moral impulses
00:54:14.920 about whether
00:54:15.380 this individual
00:54:16.100 should be allowed
00:54:16.980 to teach their children
00:54:17.860 in a public school.
00:54:19.000 But very few
00:54:19.940 can construct a good argument
00:54:21.440 why or why not.
00:54:23.100 It's more difficult
00:54:23.920 than you think.
00:54:25.080 Try it.
00:54:26.700 Well, actually, Peter,
00:54:27.440 it's not difficult at all.
00:54:29.420 I mean,
00:54:29.640 you might as well claim
00:54:30.280 that it's difficult
00:54:30.820 to come up with an argument
00:54:31.620 against setting puppies
00:54:33.100 on fire
00:54:33.600 or torching nursing homes.
00:54:36.520 It is very easy
00:54:37.460 to explain
00:54:38.140 why these things are bad.
00:54:39.240 In the case of the teacher,
00:54:40.040 I can do it
00:54:41.140 in one sentence.
00:54:43.060 You shouldn't act out
00:54:44.200 your sexual fetishes
00:54:45.280 in front of children. 0.99
00:54:47.460 There.
00:54:48.020 Done.
00:54:49.000 I could add,
00:54:49.700 you know,
00:54:50.660 I could add to that
00:54:51.460 that you shouldn't act out
00:54:52.520 your sexual fetishes
00:54:53.280 at work at all,
00:54:55.080 even if you don't work
00:54:56.000 with children.
00:54:57.120 You shouldn't act them
00:54:58.060 out in public.
00:54:59.620 So there are three
00:55:00.640 good arguments
00:55:01.240 against this behavior.
00:55:02.660 That's only a very
00:55:03.380 partial list.
00:55:05.180 But what is Peter's
00:55:06.220 actual point?
00:55:07.480 Now,
00:55:07.620 why is he pretending
00:55:08.460 that the freak 1.00
00:55:09.900 with the big fake boobs 1.00
00:55:11.360 presents some sort 0.99
00:55:12.680 of complex moral dilemma?
00:55:14.900 Why is he acting
00:55:15.500 like this is something
00:55:16.020 that Greek philosophers
00:55:17.000 might have written about
00:55:18.540 and argued about?
00:55:19.860 Perhaps Aristotle
00:55:20.740 wrote a treatise
00:55:21.460 on fetish gear
00:55:22.520 in the classroom.
00:55:24.220 I'll have to check.
00:55:24.920 I'm not sure.
00:55:26.520 Well,
00:55:26.840 I think that
00:55:27.420 what we really see here
00:55:29.020 is,
00:55:29.660 first,
00:55:30.680 the insistence
00:55:31.780 that we cannot
00:55:33.480 condemn anything
00:55:34.600 unless we're able
00:55:35.900 to come up
00:55:36.300 with a universal,
00:55:37.660 generalized,
00:55:38.520 overarching principle
00:55:39.440 for everything,
00:55:40.580 and that if there are
00:55:42.520 any potential exceptions
00:55:43.660 at all to the principle,
00:55:45.600 then the condemnation
00:55:46.780 is automatically invalid.
00:55:49.240 So this is the idea.
00:55:51.240 You can't condemn anything
00:55:52.040 unless you have
00:55:52.980 an overarching,
00:55:53.800 general principle
00:55:54.460 that applies to it.
00:55:55.660 And if there are
00:55:56.120 any exceptions
00:55:56.780 to that principle,
00:55:57.600 then the principle
00:55:58.060 no longer holds.
00:56:00.240 This is the attitude
00:56:01.040 on the left,
00:56:01.540 which is why
00:56:02.020 you can never get them
00:56:03.220 to talk about
00:56:03.740 any specific thing.
00:56:05.060 Immediately,
00:56:05.700 they'll go to
00:56:06.160 the exceptions,
00:56:07.380 which are supposed
00:56:08.060 to negate
00:56:08.660 whatever you said
00:56:09.340 about the specific thing
00:56:10.460 that was not an exception.
00:56:12.480 So how does this relate
00:56:13.300 to the dude 0.99
00:56:13.740 with the big fake boobs? 1.00
00:56:14.620 Well, 0.99
00:56:15.040 I imagine
00:56:16.260 that if you condemn
00:56:17.660 the prosthetic breasts,
00:56:19.420 somebody like Peter
00:56:20.240 would respond,
00:56:21.460 well,
00:56:21.620 why is it wrong
00:56:22.260 to wear prosthetics?
00:56:24.020 What about a teacher
00:56:24.880 with a prosthetic leg?
00:56:26.760 Huh?
00:56:27.240 What about that?
00:56:28.840 Gotcha.
00:56:30.480 And even if you
00:56:31.220 hinge your argument
00:56:31.940 as I did
00:56:32.520 on the idea
00:56:33.020 that adults
00:56:33.540 shouldn't be acting
00:56:34.360 out their fetishes
00:56:35.120 in front of children,
00:56:36.760 somebody like Peter
00:56:37.440 might retort
00:56:37.940 with something like,
00:56:38.980 are all fetishes bad?
00:56:40.760 What if someone
00:56:41.460 has a fetish
00:56:42.180 for wearing pants?
00:56:43.960 Does that mean
00:56:44.680 they shouldn't wear pants
00:56:46.100 in the classroom?
00:56:48.020 Ha,
00:56:48.460 got you again.
00:56:50.180 This is how
00:56:50.740 they play the game.
00:56:52.060 If you think
00:56:52.980 I'm exaggerating,
00:56:54.060 consider that the left
00:56:55.040 has actually argued
00:56:56.320 and has been arguing
00:56:57.040 today after this,
00:56:58.240 after the Vanderbilt
00:56:58.980 expose,
00:56:59.620 they argue
00:57:01.480 that it's invalid
00:57:03.000 to criticize
00:57:03.960 double mastectomies 0.89
00:57:05.100 for gender-confused girls 1.00
00:57:06.620 because sometimes
00:57:08.320 girls need 1.00
00:57:09.360 double mastectomies 0.89
00:57:10.200 as breast cancer treatment.
00:57:12.140 So,
00:57:12.780 they take two
00:57:13.860 completely different
00:57:14.680 situations,
00:57:15.440 which are extremely
00:57:16.280 easy to distinguish
00:57:17.240 between,
00:57:18.020 and claim that
00:57:18.940 because there is
00:57:19.620 one through line
00:57:21.220 connecting them,
00:57:22.200 you automatically
00:57:22.940 cannot condemn
00:57:23.940 the one
00:57:24.280 without condemning
00:57:24.900 the other.
00:57:25.240 They act as though
00:57:27.840 the only way
00:57:28.520 to condemn
00:57:28.880 double mastectomies 0.89
00:57:29.820 for teenage girls
00:57:30.540 is to argue
00:57:32.180 that double mastectomies
00:57:33.700 in and of themselves
00:57:34.920 are wrong
00:57:35.900 all the time.
00:57:38.120 It's an utterly
00:57:39.160 absurd tactic,
00:57:40.160 but this is what
00:57:40.820 most debates
00:57:41.960 on the internet
00:57:42.440 boil down to.
00:57:44.580 I think there's
00:57:45.240 something else
00:57:45.600 going on here too.
00:57:47.260 Peter acknowledges
00:57:48.340 that most people
00:57:49.500 have a strong
00:57:50.340 moral impulse
00:57:51.260 against this kind
00:57:52.060 of activity.
00:57:53.600 Yet he declares
00:57:54.280 that this moral
00:57:54.940 impulse isn't
00:57:55.780 sufficient.
00:57:57.100 Like we have to
00:57:57.560 come up with
00:57:57.860 a rational argument
00:57:58.980 against it.
00:58:00.640 In this case,
00:58:01.860 you know,
00:58:02.300 we can come up
00:58:04.220 with rational arguments
00:58:05.240 easily in this case.
00:58:06.540 It's not actually
00:58:07.360 hard to do.
00:58:09.460 But even if we
00:58:10.200 couldn't,
00:58:10.440 putting that aside,
00:58:11.840 why isn't our
00:58:13.140 moral impulse
00:58:13.980 good enough?
00:58:15.920 I mean,
00:58:16.060 why isn't it
00:58:16.440 good enough?
00:58:17.320 He says,
00:58:17.640 people have a moral
00:58:18.180 impulse that this
00:58:18.740 is wrong.
00:58:20.160 Okay,
00:58:20.580 well,
00:58:21.620 say no more.
00:58:22.900 I mean,
00:58:23.380 you acknowledge
00:58:24.240 this is our
00:58:24.740 moral impulse
00:58:25.480 tells us
00:58:26.040 that it's wrong
00:58:26.840 to behave this
00:58:27.540 way.
00:58:29.080 Why do you
00:58:29.760 need more
00:58:30.160 than that?
00:58:31.660 This is something
00:58:32.460 we all inherently
00:58:33.500 recognize as wrong.
00:58:34.960 Almost everyone
00:58:35.620 in the world
00:58:36.240 knows it's wrong
00:58:37.540 to wear fetish
00:58:38.260 gear in front
00:58:38.780 of kids.
00:58:40.020 The people
00:58:40.600 who actually
00:58:41.060 do it
00:58:41.700 also know
00:58:42.980 that it's wrong,
00:58:43.860 which is part
00:58:44.320 of the sick
00:58:44.760 thrill they derive
00:58:45.620 from it. 0.98
00:58:46.640 They're masochists 0.97
00:58:47.480 titillated by 0.99
00:58:48.240 humiliation
00:58:48.900 and also excited
00:58:50.220 by breaking
00:58:51.180 taboos.
00:58:51.860 As for the
00:58:53.840 people who
00:58:54.320 don't personally
00:58:56.120 engage in this
00:58:56.640 behavior yet
00:58:57.260 would defend
00:58:57.760 it on principle,
00:58:58.840 most of them
00:58:59.340 like the school
00:58:59.760 administrators
00:59:00.240 who defended
00:59:00.720 him,
00:59:01.240 they know
00:59:01.700 that it's
00:59:01.960 perverse
00:59:02.320 and gross,
00:59:02.800 but they feel
00:59:03.480 compelled to
00:59:04.220 accept it
00:59:04.820 in the name
00:59:05.300 of gender
00:59:05.780 identity
00:59:06.240 and tolerance.
00:59:08.140 Any small
00:59:08.680 fraction of
00:59:09.180 people remaining
00:59:09.800 who are not
00:59:10.560 themselves fetishes
00:59:11.460 but genuinely
00:59:12.640 don't believe
00:59:14.040 this activity
00:59:14.680 is wrong,
00:59:15.780 well,
00:59:16.040 it's easy
00:59:16.540 to explain
00:59:17.240 them through
00:59:18.160 a combination
00:59:18.740 of mental
00:59:19.240 illness
00:59:19.580 and deep
00:59:20.260 moral confusion
00:59:21.140 ingrained in
00:59:21.680 them practically
00:59:22.220 from birth
00:59:22.840 by the nihilistic
00:59:24.100 degraded culture 1.00
00:59:24.980 they live in.
00:59:26.480 So,
00:59:26.980 we have a world
00:59:28.020 where almost
00:59:29.760 everyone intuitively
00:59:30.980 inherently sees
00:59:32.200 that this sort
00:59:33.020 of activity
00:59:33.440 is wrong,
00:59:35.020 maybe along
00:59:36.520 with a small
00:59:37.220 minority
00:59:37.700 who don't see
00:59:38.660 it because
00:59:39.340 they're mentally 0.98
00:59:39.880 disturbed and 1.00
00:59:40.460 deluded.
00:59:42.200 Well,
00:59:42.440 Peter says
00:59:42.820 that's not
00:59:43.660 good enough.
00:59:45.120 We have to
00:59:45.580 be able to
00:59:45.900 explain these
00:59:46.620 things,
00:59:47.080 things that
00:59:47.860 everyone knows
00:59:48.780 and if we
00:59:49.620 can't explain
00:59:50.700 them,
00:59:51.160 then the thing
00:59:51.620 can be ignored
00:59:52.240 or discarded.
00:59:53.720 This is the
00:59:54.400 trick the left
00:59:54.840 has been pulling
00:59:55.280 for decades.
00:59:56.640 Our inherent
00:59:57.300 moral intuition
00:59:58.280 as human beings
00:59:59.220 must be explained
01:00:00.840 to their
01:00:01.500 satisfaction
01:00:02.180 or else
01:00:03.520 they're entitled
01:00:04.080 to just
01:00:04.500 ignore it
01:00:05.120 completely.
01:00:06.940 But that's
01:00:07.600 not true.
01:00:08.780 That's not
01:00:09.100 how it works.
01:00:10.580 And it also
01:00:11.080 unfairly flips
01:00:12.080 the burden
01:00:12.580 of proof
01:00:13.000 around.
01:00:14.100 See,
01:00:14.540 it's not up
01:00:15.160 to you
01:00:15.960 or to me
01:00:16.580 to explain
01:00:17.760 why grown
01:00:18.640 men should 0.90
01:00:19.260 not play
01:00:19.780 out their
01:00:20.140 sexual fantasies 0.96
01:00:21.120 in front of 0.89
01:00:21.560 kids.
01:00:22.560 I can explain
01:00:23.760 it,
01:00:23.920 but that's
01:00:24.160 not my
01:00:24.480 job.
01:00:25.520 If Peter
01:00:26.020 or anybody
01:00:26.340 else thinks
01:00:26.900 that this
01:00:27.220 activity is
01:00:27.720 acceptable,
01:00:28.660 it's up to
01:00:29.620 them to
01:00:30.040 present their
01:00:30.680 arguments
01:00:31.120 defending it.
01:00:33.320 So you see
01:00:34.040 the tactic
01:00:34.420 here.
01:00:35.020 If we
01:00:35.580 can't
01:00:36.220 rationally
01:00:36.800 defend
01:00:37.260 our moral
01:00:38.000 intuition,
01:00:39.360 then they
01:00:40.000 can do
01:00:40.220 whatever they
01:00:40.540 want.
01:00:42.300 But they
01:00:43.140 don't have
01:00:43.540 to rationally
01:00:44.080 defend
01:00:44.440 anything.
01:00:45.080 It's
01:00:46.320 all us.
01:00:46.940 They
01:00:47.040 don't have
01:00:47.340 to defend
01:00:47.740 or explain
01:00:48.300 anything.
01:00:49.180 We have
01:00:49.780 to defend
01:00:50.180 and explain
01:00:50.760 everything.
01:00:53.080 We have
01:00:53.640 to tell
01:00:53.880 them why
01:00:54.180 they shouldn't
01:00:54.680 do it.
01:00:55.620 They don't
01:00:55.980 have to
01:00:56.180 tell us
01:00:56.460 why they
01:00:56.780 should.
01:00:58.860 Except,
01:00:59.400 again,
01:00:59.540 that's not
01:00:59.820 how it
01:01:00.080 works.
01:01:01.180 Like,
01:01:01.440 if you're
01:01:01.660 coming along
01:01:02.180 and insisting
01:01:02.860 that the
01:01:03.600 moral impulse
01:01:04.540 shared by
01:01:05.260 nearly everyone
01:01:06.000 in the world
01:01:06.540 is wrong,
01:01:07.840 you have
01:01:08.560 to make
01:01:08.880 your case.
01:01:10.020 You have
01:01:10.480 to present
01:01:10.900 your evidence
01:01:11.540 and convince
01:01:12.300 us that actually
01:01:13.040 it's good
01:01:13.520 for men
01:01:13.940 to wear
01:01:14.200 enormous 1.00
01:01:14.580 fake boobs 0.99
01:01:15.120 in the 0.99
01:01:15.320 classroom.
01:01:17.240 The burden
01:01:17.900 of proof
01:01:18.200 is on
01:01:18.520 you.
01:01:20.320 It's on
01:01:20.920 you.
01:01:21.440 When the
01:01:22.000 man shows
01:01:22.420 up with
01:01:22.620 the giant 0.99
01:01:22.900 fake boobs, 1.00
01:01:23.580 he can't 0.99
01:01:25.300 say,
01:01:25.700 give me one
01:01:26.180 good reason
01:01:26.580 why I
01:01:26.900 shouldn't
01:01:27.080 wear these.
01:01:28.960 No,
01:01:29.740 no, 0.99
01:01:30.900 you freaking 1.00
01:01:31.680 weirdo. 1.00
01:01:32.380 You give me 0.95
01:01:32.840 one good
01:01:33.220 reason why
01:01:33.760 you should.
01:01:35.160 You're the
01:01:35.660 one showing
01:01:36.100 up here
01:01:36.420 like that.
01:01:37.480 Explain to
01:01:37.960 me,
01:01:38.120 explain yourself,
01:01:39.380 explain to
01:01:39.940 me why you
01:01:41.160 are acting
01:01:41.640 that way.
01:01:42.860 I don't
01:01:43.400 have to
01:01:43.660 explain myself.
01:01:45.200 I'm not
01:01:45.820 the one
01:01:46.060 doing something
01:01:46.680 bizarre and 0.98
01:01:47.520 ridiculous and 0.99
01:01:48.280 gross. 1.00
01:01:48.860 That's you. 0.93
01:01:50.120 You explain
01:01:50.700 yourself.
01:01:52.980 But that's
01:01:53.600 a burden
01:01:53.900 you can't
01:01:54.340 meet,
01:01:55.200 which is why
01:01:56.080 they always
01:01:56.360 try to flip
01:01:56.760 the conversation
01:01:57.380 around and
01:01:57.980 put the
01:01:58.240 onus on
01:01:58.940 us.
01:01:59.420 As if our
01:02:00.000 conviction
01:02:00.540 that children
01:02:01.600 should not
01:02:01.980 be participants
01:02:02.680 in the
01:02:03.200 sexual fetishes 0.97
01:02:04.060 of adults 0.85
01:02:04.820 is some
01:02:05.500 sort of
01:02:05.820 radical idea
01:02:06.940 in need
01:02:07.300 of explanation.
01:02:08.100 It isn't.
01:02:09.120 We need
01:02:09.700 to explain
01:02:10.320 nothing.
01:02:12.360 We need
01:02:13.020 only say
01:02:13.440 to Peter
01:02:13.900 Bughosian 1.00
01:02:14.800 and his
01:02:15.260 friend with 0.98
01:02:15.640 the breasts, 1.00
01:02:16.880 you're 0.96
01:02:18.020 canceled.
01:02:19.180 And that'll
01:02:19.720 do it for
01:02:20.000 us today.
01:02:20.640 Thanks for
01:02:20.900 watching.
01:02:21.200 Thanks for
01:02:21.460 listening.
01:02:22.100 Have a great
01:02:22.440 day.
01:02:23.520 Godspeed.
01:02:24.940 As we move
01:02:25.620 into our
01:02:25.920 members block.
01:02:27.020 Okay.
01:02:27.500 Godspeed.
01:02:27.800 Godspeed.
