The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1028 - The Most Demonic And Depraved 'All Ages' Drag Show Yet

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, one all-ages drag show was shut down in Tennessee over the weekend,

00:00:04.820 but another one was still held, and it's the worst we've seen yet. Also, Italy elects its

00:00:08.880 first female prime minister, but the media sadly cannot celebrate because she has wrong opinions, 1.00

00:00:14.440 it turns out. Plus, the FBI sends 30 agents to raid a pro-life activist home, despite the fact

00:00:19.160 that he broke no laws at all. The former mayor of Atlanta, who let BLM burn her city to the ground, 0.68

00:00:24.740 has now repositioned herself as an advocate of law and order, and in our daily cancellation,

00:00:29.420 a TikTok feminist laughs at 1950s dating advice, but the advice is way better than anything you'll 1.00

00:01:53.940 The Memphis Museum of Science and History had planned to celebrate science and history this

00:02:00.240 past weekend with an all-ages family-friendly, quote-unquote, drag show and also dance party.

00:02:06.240 The festivities were set to begin at 7 in the evening and then continue until 11 at night.

00:02:11.820 There would be, along with the cross-dressers, a full bar, you know, people drinking. 0.99

00:02:17.040 Drinking until they have their fill. Of course, to normal, non-groomer adults, it's already wildly

00:02:22.880 inappropriate to invite small children to a late-night dance party with alcohol. And that would be

00:02:28.280 true even if no drag queen showed up. I mean, with the possible exceptions of wedding receptions,

00:02:34.000 I suppose, but even then, you know, young kids are going to go home before 11 at night. But maybe

00:02:38.800 aside from those, it's hard to think of a scenario where it would be acceptable to involve kids in an

00:02:45.100 event like this, a dance party with alcohol that goes to 11 at night. And why would you want to?

00:02:50.800 I mean, what is the non-creepy, non-pedophilic reason for opening this up to children? In fact,

00:02:57.320 this is a question that I've been asking, many of us have been asking for years now.

00:03:03.440 I actually called the museum myself a couple of weeks ago and posed this question to them when I

00:03:08.460 first heard about this event they were planning. It's a simple one. I mean, why do you want kids there?

00:03:12.840 And also, what does a drag dance party have to do with science or history? Now, as to the latter 0.60

00:03:18.260 question, the woman on the other end of the line, who initially told me that she could answer any

00:03:21.920 question I might have about the event, she said that drag is a part of the culture. And thus, 0.99

00:03:27.860 it's a matter of history because it's part of culture. Now, I wasn't especially persuaded by

00:03:32.740 that reasoning, but I was more interested in getting an answer to the second question,

00:03:36.960 why do you want kids at the event? And to that, she kind of stuttered and paused and responded.

00:03:41.040 And I quote, this is what she said, because it's an event. Why do you want kids at the event? Well,

00:03:48.420 because it's an event. Yes, but why are you involving kids? At that point, she said that

00:03:55.820 actually, it turns out that she's not the best person to answer my questions and she'll have to

00:03:59.600 have someone call me back. But it doesn't seem that they ever came up with an answer to the why do

00:04:05.340 you want kids there question, at least not one that they are willing to say out loud.

00:04:09.420 And I know that based on what happened this past Friday night, which was supposed to be

00:04:13.100 the day of the event. The museum ended up shutting down the drag dance party for children at the last

00:04:18.360 minute, blaming the presence of allegedly armed protesters. There's a very small group of people

00:04:24.460 that the media identified as quote unquote, proud boys who came and stood peacefully outside of the

00:04:30.220 museum. And this has prompted much hand wringing from the very same people who had absolutely nothing

00:04:35.680 to say a few weeks ago when a much larger battalion of masked and heavily armed Antifa showed up to a

00:04:42.020 drag show in Texas confronting a peaceful group of protesters there. Now, in that case, there was

00:04:46.620 no problem at all, but now it's a big deal. In any case, the event was canceled and the drag performers

00:04:53.280 or would be drag performers that night anyway, expressed their frustration. Listen,

00:04:57.980 I'm disappointed in Memphis. I am. I just wish I wish people were just more knowledgeable and more

00:05:07.440 accepting. I do. Particularly disappointed. I feel like when we do things that cancel, it kind of

00:05:16.760 reinvigorates these groups to continue the work that they're doing with intimidating people.

00:05:21.600 The Memphis Museum of Science and History hosted a Summer of Pride program celebrating the LGTBQ plus

00:05:28.560 community. The drag show billed as family friendly was supposed to be the grand culmination. Susan Gray

00:05:34.880 and her husband expressed their disapproval, displaying signs next to the American flag on their car.

00:05:40.900 Why does it bother you when someone else brings their own child to see this performance?

00:05:46.540 Child abuse. I don't care who does it. It's wrong. 0.98

00:05:50.240 Why are you telling people to leave when no one asks you to tell people to leave?

00:05:53.320 We're not telling people to leave. We're telling people to exit the parking lot. It wasn't our

00:05:56.740 decision to shut the museum down. Organizer Barbie Wire heartbroken the show won't go on. 0.82

00:06:03.160 Angry Mosh and MPD didn't stand up to protesters. There's an entire exhibit in there that's about

00:06:10.760 the history of police removing queer people from spaces, of a country that does not want us to exist,

00:06:18.900 of a culture that does not want us to exist. And so tonight proves that we are still living as a

00:06:27.380 part of that history.

00:06:29.300 Hmm. You know, it's obvious from the tone of the questioning that the local NBC affiliate has

00:06:35.460 chosen a side. They've sided with the drag groomers. But even so, they inadvertently provided a very 0.87

00:06:42.420 telling contrast. Because on the one hand, you had a normal middle-aged woman who has taken the 0.99

00:06:47.360 exceedingly rational stance that child sexual abuse is unacceptable, even if the parents are

00:06:53.460 involved. In fact, the parents' involvement makes it worse, if anything. Certainly not better.

00:06:59.640 On the other hand, you have a man in a literal clown wig with insane clown posse face paint, 0.57

00:07:05.620 strutting around in a women's dress, babbling that he's being oppressed because he's not allowed to 0.52

00:07:10.520 dance for a bunch of kids at a science museum. Now, it's up to each of us as individuals to decide

00:07:15.720 whose side we prefer to be on here. But you notice that still none of the people involved

00:07:20.840 were able or willing to engage with the one central complaint that the protesters have,

00:07:27.380 namely that the event involves children. Okay? Nobody is showing up to protest adult-only drag shows.

00:07:33.360 Those happen all the time in this country. No protesters. Footage from adult-only drag shows

00:07:38.580 never go viral, with people on the right outraged about it. These female-mocking minstrel shows have 0.92

00:07:45.300 existed in this country for decades, and they were never a major issue until they got the kids involved.

00:07:52.040 Now, I personally think that all drag shows are weird and ugly and bad and degrading, but even I 1.00

00:07:59.180 wouldn't be talking about them if they simply left the kids out of it. Is that too much to ask?

00:08:04.320 I mean, go ahead and dress up like some kind of weird, sexualized Muppet and prance around on 0.84

00:08:11.040 stage lip-syncing to Lady Gaga songs. Go ahead and do that. Just do it out of sight, where I don't 0.94

00:08:16.960 have to see it, and most importantly, kids don't have to see it. That's all we're asking. And it proves

00:08:23.760 to be too much. It was certainly too much for the drag show over in Chattanooga this weekend, as

00:08:29.380 Tennessee continues, unfortunately, to be involved in these kinds of issues in all of the worst ways. 1.00

00:08:36.160 Robbie Starbuck provided footage of this all-ages drag spectacle that, again, happened on the same

00:08:41.360 weekend. And it's some of the most disturbing that we've seen. So we'll watch this, and I'll have to

00:08:45.540 narrate it because there's not a lot of audio, but let's play this clip. So you see there,

00:08:50.500 dressed like the Little Mermaid. And a child is stroking his genital area. 1.00

00:09:03.120 And then we've got another... Okay, here's another drag guy. 1.00

00:09:10.340 And here's the move you always see. Oh, yep, spreads his legs open for the kids.

00:09:13.500 Kids are standing there totally confused. Oh, there's a kid sitting at the bar. Nothing wrong

00:09:20.980 with that, right? And then this guy dressed like a fat Poison Ivy from Batman walking around.

00:09:33.180 And the kids are just, like, the kids are not into it. They don't know why they're there.

00:09:36.120 Look, they walk away. Look, the girl's hiding behind her mom. 1.00

00:09:45.040 All right, let me turn this off.

00:09:48.760 I mean, that ended up being the most telling moment in the clip, is that this guy is walking around.

00:09:54.100 The kid hides behind her mom. She does not want to be there. She's like, who the hell is this guy?

00:09:58.280 I don't want to talk to this guy.

00:09:59.140 So, to recap, there's a man in a Little Mermaid outfit who, you know, there's not even any time

00:10:07.620 to make any jokes about black mermaids because the more relevant fact is that he's standing there 0.99

00:10:13.080 as a young child rubs his crotch. Now, obviously, the child has no idea what she's doing. She's just 0.99

00:10:19.640 a kid. She sees the sequenced, you know, Little Mermaid outfit. But he realizes what she's doing,

00:10:25.300 and he makes no attempt to stop her, just stands there. Another man spreads his legs for the 0.53

00:10:30.480 children attendees, and then another one walks around through the crowd, slowly terrorizing each

00:10:34.420 child individually. Now, it's obvious when you watch this kind of footage that these are not drag

00:10:39.660 events where kids just happen to be attending, which would be bad enough. Rather, the whole point

00:10:46.660 of the event is to expose and indoctrinate kids. I mean, it's not like there's any entertainment value

00:10:50.920 otherwise. These are just pudgy guys who can't sing or dance. They can't do anything. 0.77

00:10:55.980 Just kind of like sauntering around, looking like creatures from Pan's Labyrinth,

00:10:59.820 occasionally molesting a child as they walk by. Why, though? What's the point? Nobody involved will

00:11:06.580 explain why they want the kids there, why, in fact, they structure the entire event around the

00:11:12.420 involvement of kids. That's because the answers are all things they won't say out loud. It's not that

00:11:17.640 they don't have an answer. It's that they won't say it. Now, we know, of course, that the main point

00:11:22.640 and the most sinister is to sexualize the kids, rob them of their innocence. But there's more to it

00:11:27.840 even than that. These drag performances are gaudy and ugly. And the left, as we know, hates beauty, 0.66

00:11:36.220 and they seek to condition us from the youngest ages to idolize ugliness. And it really, it works,

00:11:43.340 because this is why many young people today go out of their way to make themselves ugly.

00:11:49.380 They've been brought up in a culture that worships ugliness. And in the cult of ugliness,

00:11:56.660 drag is a sacred ritual. And finally, as always, the objective is to confuse. I mean, that's why the

00:12:05.480 primary emotion you see on the faces of the kids involved in this sort of thing, involved against

00:12:11.580 their will, is confusion. They're just confused. They don't understand why they're there. They

00:12:16.920 don't understand why these men are dressed like this. They don't understand any of it. It is

00:12:22.500 bewildering and disorienting and confusing. That's how our culture wants them. Because it's much easier

00:12:30.940 to manipulate and control a person when they're lost in a fog of confusion. So ugly, confused, 0.86

00:12:38.660 overly sexualized. This is our culture in a nutshell. And there are few things uglier, 0.99

00:12:44.940 more confused, or sexualized than a drag show. So it's no wonder that the left is so obsessed with

00:12:51.800 them. Now let's get to our five headlines. Well, Italy has elected its first female prime minister,

00:13:05.340 which is reason to celebrate, you would think. I mean, especially for the woke among us,

00:13:09.820 they love it when glass ceilings are shattered. And this is a glass ceiling. It's a first female 1.00

00:13:13.560 prime minister. This is what we can celebrate. Can't we? Can't we? Well, no, we can't, it turns

00:13:19.660 out, because there are qualifications. There are always qualifications. That's why it's never quite so

00:13:24.420 simple as to say, we talk about identity politics on the left, and we might say that, well, they hate

00:13:29.340 straight white men, but they, and they favor everybody else. And I sort of wish it was that 0.96

00:13:34.900 simple. I mean, I, that still wouldn't be good, especially as a straight white man myself, but

00:13:39.380 it's, it's actually not that simple. And at least that would be in some strange way, a sort of a

00:13:43.940 consistent ethic, like, well, straight white men are the villains and everyone else is the hero. And

00:13:49.240 like, so there's some consistency there. It's not true. It's not good, but it's consistency.

00:13:53.860 Um, but there, there is no consistency in this case because yes, they supposedly, they, they pretend

00:14:00.420 anyway to champion women and so-called marginalized groups and all the rest of it. But that's only if 1.00

00:14:06.320 the people in those allegedly marginalized groups, um, submit and surrender ideologically.

00:14:15.900 Okay. If they conform themselves ideologically, then they will be championed. But if not,

00:14:20.560 then not only are they villains also, but they're the worst villains of all. 0.67

00:14:23.860 Because along with being villains, they're also traitors. Because, you know, if you're a woman, 1.00

00:14:29.520 then as far as the left's concerned, you owe them your allegiance. You are supposed to have

00:14:34.880 whatever opinions they assign to you. And if you don't, then you've, you've betrayed them.

00:14:39.600 You're a class traitor, um, a traitor to your sex, even though they can't define what that sex 1.00

00:14:46.040 even is. So Italy's next prime minister, it turns out, uh, Georgia Maloney, she doesn't fit the 1.00

00:14:52.100 qualifications because she's on the right. And since she's on the right, her democratic election, 1.00

00:14:58.420 her selection by the people of Italy who chose her, this is actually turns out a fascist takeover.

00:15:04.120 It's, uh, with, with, with, with, of course it, it, it, in a, in a, it, uh, it, uh, it's a fascist takeover

00:15:10.500 that harkens back to events in history that they were, that the media is very quick to connect those

00:15:16.400 dots. So I just want you to watch this report from CBS. And it's, it is, uh, I mean, it's,

00:15:22.660 it's kind of breathtaking just in how there's no attempt at all to even pretend to be objective

00:15:30.340 in how they're reporting this. Not even going to pretend. Let's watch this.

00:15:36.860 Voters in Italy tomorrow appear poised to make a hard right turn. The woman expected to become 0.99

00:15:42.280 prime minister leads a party with roots in neo-fascism. Chris Lipsay is in Rome.

00:15:47.620 Italy is revered for its history reflected in palazzos and ruins and statues, but not all

00:15:54.580 of that history is beautiful. And many fear that one particularly ugly chapter could soon repeat

00:16:00.520 itself. This year marks the hundredth anniversary of Mussolini's historic March on Rome, plunging the

00:16:08.680 country into two decades of dictatorship, an alliance with Hitler and a second world war.

00:16:14.040 Today, his fascist party is gone, but many say she is carrying the torch.

00:16:21.060 Georgia Maloney, leader of the Brothers of Italy.

00:16:24.180 What was once a fringe party has ballooned into the biggest in the country, and it's now poised

00:16:30.420 to lead the most hard right government since World War II.

00:16:34.120 The fundamental problem in Italy is becoming the illegal immigration. Too many immigrants. 1.00

00:16:43.720 To protect the traditional family, a family composed by a mom, a dad, and so on.

00:16:49.880 Italy's conservative superstar remains fiercely opposed to adoptions and surrogacy for same-sex

00:16:56.320 couples. The fiery 45-year-old is comfortable with some of the hallmarks of Italian fascism,

00:17:01.840 like this motto, God, fatherland, and family.

00:17:07.840 And that's clearly a post-fascist party with a post-fascist agenda.

00:17:14.840 Irene Caratelli is a political scientist at Rome's American University.

00:17:18.460 It has the flame in the symbol of the political party that goes back to the idea of the flame

00:17:26.380 on the grave of Mussolini.

00:17:28.540 The same flame is on Mussolini's grave?

00:17:31.900 Yes.

00:17:32.540 Now, it's a historic election also because Georgia Maloney would be Italy's first ever 0.98

00:17:36.940 female prime minister. An important glass ceiling, but one that's been overshadowed 1.00

00:17:41.660 by her politics. Chris Lipsay, CBS News, Rome.

00:17:45.520 I was just waiting for that at the end. I wanted to see if they at least mentioned it.

00:17:48.540 And then finally at the end, oh yeah, yeah, first female prime minister. 1.00

00:17:51.500 The thing that we would, I mean, we would be tripping over ourselves in adulation,

00:17:57.540 if not for the fact that it's overshadowed by politics. Well, who's chosen to make it overshadowed?

00:18:01.760 Who decided that? Why is it overshadowed by politics? Well, you've decided that in the media.

00:18:07.800 It's overshadowed by your politics, not hers.

00:18:10.000 Now, in some ways, I am the perfect candidate for this propaganda from the media because I,

00:18:23.060 like many Americans, I imagine, I don't know anything about Georgia Maloney. I never heard

00:18:28.040 of her until this past weekend. I don't follow Italian politics at all, I confess to you.

00:18:33.140 Um, so never heard of her. And so that means that I'm like a blank slate going in. So the media,

00:18:39.720 they can, and this is what they're counting on. Most of us, we don't follow, we don't follow

00:18:44.000 Italian politics. A lot of people in this country don't even really follow American politics. So

00:18:47.040 forget about politics overseas. And so they're counting on what were blank slates and they

00:18:51.520 could just tell us whatever they want about her and we'll believe it. And the thing is that that's

00:18:58.120 true. Like, I'm okay. I'm, I'm, I'm listening. I've, I've an open mind. What's, what's the media,

00:19:02.360 what case can the media make against her? And, um, just based on what they're telling me,

00:19:07.000 I'm like taking their word for it actually. And what they tell me is that Georgia Maloney, 0.98

00:19:13.920 uh, believes in protecting the nuclear family, believes in protecting her borders. 0.98

00:19:20.360 And the motto that she professes is God, fatherland and family. So God, country, family.

00:19:30.420 They're making their case against her. This is the worst they could find. We can, we can only

00:19:34.660 assume that if there was something worse, they'd tell us. If there were some darker skeletons buried

00:19:40.260 in the closet that they knew about, they would present those to us, I imagine. So this is the

00:19:45.420 worst they could do. And I hear that and I think, well, she sounds great.

00:19:50.360 Now, already I'm posed to like her because our media hates her. That's, you know, that doesn't, 0.99

00:19:56.160 doesn't work this way a hundred percent of the time, probably about 95% of the time, maybe 99,

00:20:00.580 probably 99% of the time. If the media tells you to hate someone, it means that you should actually

00:20:05.580 like them means that they're great. There, there might be the 1% of the time when inadvertently,

00:20:11.260 you know, the media hates someone who's actually worthy of our, uh, of our loathing. I can't even

00:20:17.180 think of a recent example of that, but maybe it's happened. So already I'm, you know, I'm, I'm,

00:20:22.100 I'm poised to, uh, to like this woman. And then, and then that's what they tell us. Well, she's,

00:20:27.920 she's a, a fan of the nuclear family and of borders and of faith. Sounds fantastic.

00:20:36.320 And then I saw this. So there's this speech that she gave, I think it's a couple of years ago,

00:20:39.680 um, a speech that she gave that's making the rounds online and I'll play it for you. Obviously

00:20:45.880 you won't be able to, unless you speak Italian, I can be able to understand this. So I'll have to, 1.00

00:20:48.780 I'll have to translate for you based on the subtitles. I was tempted to attempt a, uh,

00:20:53.800 bad Italian accent while I read the subtitles, but I won't do that because actually the message,

00:20:57.840 I don't want the message to get lost in my bad accent. So let's go ahead and play this.

00:21:02.820 This is about what we are doing here today.

00:21:04.760 Why is the family an enemy? Why is the family so frightened? There's a single answer to all

00:21:13.220 these questions because it defines us, because it is our identity, because everything that defines

00:21:19.020 us is now an enemy for those who would like us to no longer have an identity and to simply be

00:21:26.060 perfect consumer slaves. And so they attack national identity, they attack religious identity, 0.88

00:21:32.600 they attack gender identity, they attack family identity. I can't define myself as Italian, 0.70

00:21:40.300 Christian, woman, mother. No, I must be citizen X, gender X, parent one, parent two. I must be a

00:21:48.700 number because when I'm only a number, when I no longer have an identity or roots, then I will be

00:21:54.000 the perfect slave at the mercy of financial speculators. The perfect consumer. This is a great speech.

00:22:01.600 I wish we could actually understand what she was saying. It would be a lot better than what I'm

00:22:05.060 doing. That's the reason why.

00:22:10.020 That's why we inspire so much fear. That's why this event inspires so much fear. Okay.

00:22:15.640 That is a speech that I wish a Republican politician would give. I think we have a few that would maybe

00:22:21.500 get close to that. But she's really getting to the roots of it. And this is something that we

00:22:28.980 talk about on this show quite a bit. You know, this concept of identity. And we hear about identity

00:22:38.300 all the time on the left. They're seemingly obsessed with it. But really what they're trying to do is

00:22:44.880 deprive us of identity. So this is the point that she's making. And she's right. This is why they fear

00:22:50.820 her. This is why they hate her. Because if you're on the right, if you're a conservative at all, of

00:22:56.620 course the media is going to hate you. But it's one thing to just sort of be on the right. And you

00:23:00.640 can parrot some of the lines you hear from other conservatives. And you know some of the talking

00:23:05.080 points and all of that. And that's mostly what you get from conservatives in this country.

00:23:09.580 They know the talking points. They know what lines to say to get applause from certain audiences.

00:23:15.680 Um, but if you can show that you actually understand what the left is doing and why they're

00:23:22.800 doing it, that you really understand their agenda, you can get a little bit beneath the surface.

00:23:28.580 Well, if you demonstrate that, then you're really a threat to them.

00:23:31.920 Because now you're giving away the trade secrets and they can't have that.

00:23:36.360 And from the little I know about this woman, just based on that speech alone,

00:23:39.320 I can tell why. That's all I need to know.

00:23:41.340 Because this is the project on the left. It is to deprive us of identity, to take identity away.

00:23:50.380 And how do they do that? They do that by, as she says, like, first of all,

00:23:54.200 severing you from all of the things, all of the outward systems and institutions and structures

00:24:02.480 that give you identity, your family, your family, your faith, your country, um, your bloodline,

00:24:09.900 your ancestors. Take all that away.

00:24:15.700 You know, take out a, a, a chainsaw and just cut you away from all of that.

00:24:20.700 And it's a, it's, you know, it's a, it's a, a bloody surgery for most people.

00:24:27.920 Sever you from that and just kind of leave you, uh, floating in the ether.

00:24:34.260 Attached to nothing, not grounded in anything.

00:24:39.080 But then even that's not enough because after they've done that, that's been a project of the

00:24:42.500 left for decades now, is to turn you against your own family, turn you against your country, 0.86

00:24:48.040 turn you against your faith, have, have you abandoned your faith entirely.

00:24:52.280 Uh, so they do that. That's not enough now.

00:24:55.960 Because the next step is to go, is to go, is to go into your mind and to take away your sense of self.

00:25:03.980 And this is where all the gender ideology stuff comes into play. 1.00

00:25:08.980 We talked about it in the opening. It's, it's about confusion. They want you confused.

00:25:13.640 They do this to kids at a very young age. This is why they send them to the drag shows. 0.99

00:25:18.040 Make you confused. Take away your sense of identity, your sense of self.

00:25:23.180 And then, uh, and then you're just, you're a perfect sort of vessel and vassal.

00:25:29.880 At that point.

00:25:32.880 All right. So it looks like Italy's got their, getting their act together politically, at least.

00:25:37.540 Maybe we could follow suit.

00:25:38.940 Let's check in with a, uh, another news report. It's a local news report

00:25:42.920 here in Nashville about my expose on Vanderbilt.

00:25:47.580 Now, nevermind that in this report, just like in many other media reports about the Vanderbilt thing,

00:25:52.080 they call me, they misgender me by calling me a conservative blogger.

00:25:55.920 I haven't blogged in like, I don't know, six or seven years, but I'm not going to split hairs.

00:26:00.200 Um, they do interview a local trans activist who's, who's, uh, very upset.

00:26:05.780 She's very upset at me and at any, any of the rest of us who want to stop people from mutilating kids.

00:26:12.160 And, uh, he rather, he's very upset.

00:26:14.520 I should say at me and the rest of us.

00:26:16.840 Let's listen to why.

00:26:19.160 Folks like me aren't monstrous.

00:26:21.100 These children know a child is monstrous, right?

00:26:25.720 But members of the transgender community like Darren Johnson say this would do much more harm than good. 1.00

00:26:31.960 The real danger is when that type of care is taken away.

00:26:36.660 She says she might not still be sitting here if it wasn't for the gender-affirming care she received at Vanderbilt University Medical Center

00:26:42.960 and hates the thought that minors might be stripped of those options.

00:26:47.080 Places like Vanderbilt are few and far between.

00:26:49.640 Johnson says despite how the transgender clinic was characterized, she found Vanderbilt to be ethical and thoughtful every step of the way.

00:26:57.500 There are age, uh, appropriate, uh, limits on what type of treatments are even discussed or offered.

00:27:06.820 Which is why she's worried about what may happen next on Capitol Hill.

00:27:10.820 It wouldn't just be a shame if that went away.

00:27:13.760 It would make for poorer families.

00:27:17.780 It would make for poorer, uh, communities.

00:27:21.400 Chris Davis, News Channel 5.

00:27:24.860 Representative Lambert tells News Channel 5 he plans to introduce legislation regarding Vanderbilt's clinic next January when the new legislative session begins.

00:27:34.880 Okay.

00:27:35.960 So, first of all, he says this is the gaslighting you always get.

00:27:40.320 Uh, no, no child is monstrous.

00:27:42.480 They're, they're, they're, they're, they're treating children like monsters.

00:27:46.580 No, no, no.

00:27:47.000 It's not, it's not the children that we're saying are monstrous.

00:27:50.800 Um, we're saying that, we're saying the opposite, actually.

00:27:54.540 They're, they're, children are not Frankenstein monsters that you can chop into pieces and put other pieces on.

00:27:59.980 No, children are, they are, they are human beings.

00:28:02.920 They are whole human beings.

00:28:07.080 With dignity.

00:28:08.520 And that's how they should be treated.

00:28:10.060 And when you drug them and, uh, you cut them, you cut pieces of them off, you are, along with, with so many other things, depriving them of, you, you are of that dignity.

00:28:23.180 You're, you're desecrating that human dignity that they have.

00:28:26.720 And you're doing it at an age when they cannot possibly consent to it.

00:28:33.500 And we hear also that, uh, well, we, we end up with poorer families.

00:28:39.260 I don't know exactly what that means.

00:28:40.880 The, the, the state of the family.

00:28:42.200 So the trans activists now, they're, they're defenders of the family unit. 0.94

00:28:48.160 And the way that you defend the family unit is to mutilate kids.

00:28:52.500 But you notice that, and I've, I've seen many of these local news reports where they, they're doing the best they can to bring in trans activists, bring in a doctor, bring in someone who will explain why, you know, our, uh, efforts to stop this from happening to kids, who will explain why that's a horrible thing.

00:29:12.400 And this is the best they can do.

00:29:18.380 And you notice that none of them have actually offered a clear, coherent defense of what the hospital is doing to kids.

00:29:29.560 Instead, all we hear is that, well, it's age appropriate.

00:29:31.820 It's an assertion.

00:29:33.600 Okay.

00:29:34.100 So to say that it's age appropriate is an assertion.

00:29:37.660 That's not a defense.

00:29:38.620 I understand that's the assertion.

00:29:40.200 I understand that you think it's age appropriate.

00:29:42.400 My question is, how have you arrived at that conclusion?

00:29:46.460 Can you defend that?

00:29:49.880 Okay.

00:29:50.400 I do not see how it is age appropriate to chop the organs off of kids.

00:29:59.500 Can you explain how that could possibly be age appropriate?

00:30:03.140 How can a child consent to that?

00:30:08.300 They can't do it.

00:30:09.220 They can't even attempt to do it.

00:30:10.880 And they won't.

00:30:12.400 All right.

00:30:15.580 This is from the Daily Wire.

00:30:16.460 It says, FBI agents reportedly raided the home of a pro-life activist in Pennsylvania on Friday and arrested him.

00:30:22.920 A group of between 25 and 30 FBI agents raided the Bucks County, Pennsylvania home of pro-life activist Mark Houck early Friday morning.

00:30:30.720 His family told Life is the leader of a non-profit group that provides sidewalk counseling at abortion clinics in Philadelphia.

00:30:37.500 The arrest seemed to stem from a court case that was dismissed by a federal court in Philadelphia, but was somehow picked up by the Department of Justice, his family said.

00:30:46.500 Hauk's wife, Ryan Marie said, the kids were all just screaming.

00:30:50.680 It was all very scary and traumatic.

00:30:52.940 Ryan Marie Houck told the outlet that the group of agents in SWAT gear arrived in 15 vehicles outside the family home at around 7.05 a.m.

00:31:01.160 This is on Friday morning.

00:31:03.420 So you've got about 30 FBI agents in SWAT gear in 15 vehicles rolling up to this family's house early in the morning.

00:31:12.620 The agents quickly surrounded the house and began pounding on the door, demanding they open up.

00:31:16.840 Houck reportedly tried to get the agents to calm down, noting that his seven children were scared, but the agents kept shouting.

00:31:23.660 They had big, huge rifles pointed at Mark and pointed at me and kind of pointed throughout the house, his wife said.

00:31:28.940 Houck and his wife asked the agents why they were there, to which the agents allegedly replied that they were there to arrest him.

00:31:35.220 His wife asked for a warrant, but they said that they were going to take him whether they had a warrant or not, Ryan Marie Houck recalled.

00:31:42.620 She protested, saying that what the agents were doing was tantamount to kidnapping.

00:31:46.120 Only then did they provide a copy of the warrant shortly afterward.

00:31:49.500 Houck was apparently taken out and put into one of the vehicles.

00:31:53.400 But the FBI agents quickly softened once they realized the distress they'd inflicted on the family, Houck's wife recounted.

00:32:00.300 Once they realized, oh, they didn't realize, you know, yeah, it's rolling up 7 o'clock in the morning on a Friday.

00:32:09.840 You've got a house, there are seven kids in there.

00:32:12.620 You're all wearing SWAT gear.

00:32:13.780 There's 30 of you rolling up in 15 vehicles.

00:32:15.900 They had no idea that would be distressing to the kids.

00:32:18.120 No clue.

00:32:21.000 His wife says after they had taken Mark and the kids were all screaming that he was their best friend, the agents kind of softened a bit.

00:32:28.520 I think they realized what was happening or maybe they actually looked at the warrant.

00:32:31.600 Now, Houck's wife is being very generous and nice here, which doesn't surprise me because having been in the pro-life world for a long time, this is why it's always so absurd to me.

00:32:44.020 You don't have to be in the pro-life world or be a pro-life activist to realize how absurd it is.

00:32:48.220 But especially if you've been in that world and you hear the way that pro-lifers are demonized, like they're a bunch of, you know, the caricature of pro-lifers standing around shouting and screaming.

00:32:59.860 And they're, you know, really aggressive, dangerous, scary people. 0.93

00:33:04.060 It is so ludicrous when you meet these people.

00:33:08.260 And almost all of them are, they're just like the nicest people you'll meet in the world, the ones that are in the pro-life cause.

00:33:16.740 So she's being very nice here, even to the FBI agents after they kidnapped her husband.

00:33:20.760 And she added, quote, they looked pretty ashamed of what had just happened.

00:33:24.140 According to the warrant, shared by LifeSite reporter Patrick Delaney, Houck's arrest stems from an indictment on charges of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act or the FACE Act of 1994, specifically for attacking a patient escort.

00:33:38.940 According to his wife, Houck was providing sidewalk counseling at abortion centers in Philadelphia last year and had taken his then 12-year-old son.

00:33:45.360 On multiple occasions over weeks, a pro-abortion protester allegedly shouted vulgarities and insults at the boy.

00:33:49.520 Houck repeatedly told the protester not to speak to his son.

00:33:52.460 The protester continued to encroach on the boy's personal space, still spewing vulgarities.

00:33:56.780 Finally, Houck shoved the man away, causing him to fall down.

00:34:00.860 The protester was not injured but tried to sue Houck.

00:34:03.100 Though the case was thrown out this summer, it was somehow picked up by the DOJ.

00:34:07.060 Okay, so that's what led to this incident at the house.

00:34:14.780 And that was all it was.

00:34:15.840 You have a clinic—this is a pro-abortion protester.

00:34:20.280 I don't even know if it was a—was it a clinic escort or not.

00:34:22.760 Not that it matters.

00:34:27.640 Yeah, it was a pro-abortion protester who showed up to counter, you know, the—and for Houck and for most other pro-lifers who go to abortion clinics,

00:34:38.060 and again, if you've ever been to one of these demonstrations, you know how most of them go.

00:34:41.540 There's not shouting.

00:34:42.460 There's not screaming.

00:34:43.500 Usually, it's just standing there prayerfully.

00:34:46.180 And then there will be sidewalk counselors who will try to approach the women as they're going into the abortion clinics. 0.99

00:34:52.220 And they're not approaching them and screaming at them.

00:34:54.340 They're not physically assaulting them.

00:34:55.700 They're not verbally assaulting them.

00:34:56.980 They're only trying to provide them with information.

00:34:58.760 Because information is what they are not given by the abortion clinic. 0.98

00:35:03.280 The abortion clinic doesn't want them to have any information at all.

00:35:06.220 So the sidewalk counselor is just trying to say, here, would you like some information about your baby, about this procedure that you're about to undergo, what the consequences are?

00:35:14.680 We'd like to give you some information.

00:35:15.800 Abortion clinics will hire what they call clinic escorts, and their only job is to get the women in the door without encountering any of this information. 0.97

00:35:27.800 They don't want the women to get any information on the way in the door. 1.00

00:35:30.080 It's to get them in the door ignorant, to protect their ignorance as they walk in the door.

00:35:35.840 And as we've talked about on the show recently, the federal government passed a law back in the 90s called the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, or the FACE Act, which codifies this. 0.92

00:35:49.360 Which says that pro-lifers are not allowed to get within X number of feet of the entrance to the abortion clinic. 0.95

00:35:58.460 But that was not violated in this case.

00:36:01.800 And that's why it was thrown out in court.

00:36:03.260 And still, the DOJ, they got wind of it, and they decided they were going to send some FBI goons to this guy's house anyway.

00:36:10.700 And while they're doing this, just to emphasize again, while you have the FBI sending 30 agents to this guy's house based on a minor incident that happened a year ago,

00:36:23.280 where a guy got shoved, and he only got shoved because he was verbally assaulting and harassing a child.

00:36:29.800 So they can send 30 agents for that.

00:36:31.620 And meanwhile, have there been any squadrons of FBI agents showing up at anyone's house to figure out why these pro-life pregnancy centers are getting attacked?

00:36:47.660 Because that's also included under the FACE Act.

00:36:50.020 It becomes a federal crime if you damage, commit vandalism on a pro-life pregnancy center.

00:37:00.140 The FBI has done nothing about that whatsoever.

00:37:05.500 But they've got all the resources they need.

00:37:07.240 I mean, this is as many, to give you an idea of how big a deal this was to them,

00:37:09.940 this is as many as they sent to Bubba Wallace's garage, to look into a garage, to a suspicious garage door pole.

00:37:19.460 All right, one other thing.

00:37:21.080 White House advisor Keisha Lance Bottoms has some thoughts about MAGA people, as she calls them, i.e. half the country.

00:37:29.040 Let's listen to that.

00:37:29.620 This election is a very important election, not just for Democrats, but also for Republicans, also for independents,

00:37:38.360 and anyone who cares about the United States of America.

00:37:42.540 There is a MAGA Republican agenda that gives no consideration to the rule of law,

00:37:48.140 that has no respect for a woman's right to choose, that wants to defund the FBI. 0.98

00:37:53.880 There is a MAGA Republican agenda that thought that it was okay to attack our nation's capital on January 6th.

00:38:03.220 I think people will think of all of these things when they go to the ballot box,

00:38:07.820 no matter what their party affiliation is, and I think that they will vote accordingly.

00:38:15.020 You know, I've noticed, and I think a lot of people have noticed a certain phrase that you have been using

00:38:19.940 since the very first answer, and that's MAGA Republicans or MAGA Republican agenda.

00:38:26.460 It is a tough line being taken by the president and by you here right now against Republicans writ large.

00:38:35.480 My question is, will the president and will folks in the administration between now and the November 8th elections

00:38:43.580 keep hammering away at that phrase, at that imagery?

00:38:48.120 Well, I think it will be important for all of us who care about the United States of America to call out what we see.

00:38:57.280 And what we see, again, with this MAGA Republican agenda is an effort to disrupt our democracy.

00:39:03.540 So whether it be through November and beyond November, I think it will always be important

00:39:08.620 to call out any effort there is to destroy, essentially destroy the United States of America.

00:39:15.260 President Biden has been very clear.

00:39:17.120 Couldn't cut that.

00:39:17.780 So that's the MAGA Republican agenda.

00:39:20.540 And the reason, I mean, she's asked why they, are they going to keep hammering?

00:39:24.880 It's a tough line you're taking against the MAGA Republicans.

00:39:27.620 Yeah, that's one way of putting it, a tough line when you're demonizing half the country.

00:39:31.660 And it's impossible to overstate just how unprecedented this actually is,

00:39:35.460 to have the president, the White House, openly demonizing the voters.

00:39:43.940 Now, there's nothing strange about demonizing your political opponents, elected officials.

00:39:53.620 Okay, that happens on both sides.

00:39:55.680 That's always happened.

00:39:56.780 But to have the president going after the voters, too, and that's why they specify MAGA Republicans,

00:40:04.100 the MAGA Republican agenda, MAGA people, MAGA extremists, whatever, however they phrase it.

00:40:11.240 The idea is to include not just the elected Republicans, but the people who vote for them also.

00:40:17.440 You know, they want you to imagine a Trump rally.

00:40:20.200 And all, Trump himself and all the people in the stands there with the hats on, all of them are a threat.

00:40:29.920 And Keisha Lance Bottoms, well, she's an advocate for the rule of law. 0.98

00:40:34.200 She says that MAGA Republicans are, they oppose the rule of law.

00:40:39.180 And she's also a critic now of defunding law enforcement, which is very interesting,

00:40:44.880 because here's another fascinating thing to note about Keisha Lance Bottoms.

00:40:48.500 She was the mayor of Atlanta up until very recently.

00:40:52.640 So she was mayor when BLM burned her city. 0.65

00:40:57.820 She was mayor when a cop justifiably and legally shot Rayshard Brooks outside of a Wendy's. 0.83

00:41:04.780 When, as you, if you may recall, Rayshard Brooks fell asleep because he was drunk.

00:41:09.980 He was in the drive-thru line at Wendy's, fell asleep drunk in his car.

00:41:14.080 They called the police, because what else are they going to do?

00:41:16.180 Police show up, and Brooks assaults, physically assaults them, and tries to steal their weapon.

00:41:21.880 Does steal it, in fact, and then gets shot for his trouble.

00:41:25.780 You could not have a more justified police shooting than that.

00:41:29.160 Totally justified.

00:41:30.840 And yet BLM went into action.

00:41:33.880 They showed up at the Wendy's where this happened.

00:41:35.880 They burned the Wendy's down.

00:41:37.520 Just because this incident occurred in the parking lot, they figured, let's burn the Wendy's down.

00:41:44.220 People in the community work there.

00:41:45.620 They need the Wendy's for a job. 1.00

00:41:46.880 Oh, who cares? 0.99

00:41:47.300 Let's burn it to the ground. 0.97

00:41:48.400 And also, by the way, while they were burning the Wendy's to the ground, they shot and killed an eight-year-old girl. 0.97

00:41:53.780 Who's only crime was she was in a car that was driving by, and they just fired and shot the girl. 0.87

00:41:59.400 Killed her.

00:42:02.420 Mayor Lance Bottoms did nothing about that at all. 0.60

00:42:04.640 I mean, she did nothing to protect her city.

00:42:06.760 She did nothing to stop BLM.

00:42:10.620 The city ended up getting sued by the family of this poor girl, and rightfully so, 1.00

00:42:15.480 because of the official negligence that led up to this.

00:42:21.080 So, she does a horrible job as the mayor of Atlanta. 1.00

00:42:23.720 She oversees the destruction of her city, and its collapse, its continued collapse into chaos.

00:42:30.800 And then she's awarded with a job in the White House.

00:42:34.420 And now has repositioned herself as an advocate of law and order.

00:42:40.040 And she would actually dare to criticize Republicans for wanting to supposedly defund law enforcement.

00:42:46.960 She defunded the police when she was mayor of Atlanta. 0.99

00:42:50.700 Now, she specified that, well, she didn't really shy away from calling it defunding,

00:42:55.980 but she did say, well, we're reallocating resources away from law enforcement to other things.

00:43:01.560 In other words, defunding the police.

00:43:06.260 Just totally, utterly shameless.

00:43:08.320 But it's easy to act that way when you have no soul, basically.

00:43:13.900 Let's get to the comment section.

00:43:16.000 Daily cancellations are the law and order of the day.

00:43:21.460 We're the Sweet Baby Gang.

00:43:26.860 Justin Pero, I think I'm going to say, says,

00:43:32.020 1.71 million subscribers.

00:43:34.820 This channel has really been killing the game since Matt did the documentary.

00:43:37.500 Been here since the show was him ranting in a car.

00:43:39.860 So cool to see the channel grow exponentially since then.

00:43:43.480 Yeah, we have, the growth of the channel has been pretty extraordinary, I have to say.

00:43:48.160 And we have our audience, the Sweet Baby Gang, to thank for that.

00:43:51.860 But if you haven't subscribed yet to the channel, then you should take this as your opportunity to do so.

00:43:58.180 And also, you should be ashamed that you have not done so yet.

00:44:00.700 Let's see.

00:44:03.680 Corey Bernard says,

00:44:05.000 Matt, you're completely wrong about picky eaters.

00:44:07.380 I was one when I was a kid, and my mom handled it exactly the way you said.

00:44:11.220 Well, I never ate the food I didn't like, ever, even after years.

00:44:13.940 And my mom never gave in either.

00:44:15.800 I ended up developing a very low appetite as a result.

00:44:17.860 I became very underweight even into my 30s just because of my low appetite.

00:44:22.240 And when I say underweight, I literally mean a 15 on the BMI index.

00:44:26.260 And constantly not being satisfied with my food growing up made me eat only junk as an adult.

00:44:30.420 All I wanted was flavor satisfaction, not satiation.

00:44:33.600 I had to relearn how to have an appetite and eat good food again.

00:44:36.820 It wasn't until I was 32 that I finally had a normal body weight.

00:44:40.000 It would have been better if my mom had let me get full on something else rather than force me to not eat the food I didn't like.

00:44:46.500 It forced me to have a bad relationship with food that I struggle with.

00:44:49.920 I grew out of my pickiness with food, as most kids will.

00:44:52.580 Don't give them eating disorders as a solution.

00:44:57.380 Well, I have to say this.

00:45:00.280 So this just strikes me as you say your mom forced you to not eat the food you didn't like.

00:45:07.600 I don't think your mom was forcing that on you.

00:45:10.300 And I still must insist again that you find an example of someone in a third world country.

00:45:17.340 I'd be curious.

00:45:18.220 Examples of picky eaters in third world countries.

00:45:21.560 I think if you went to a third world country and just even said the phrase, I'm a picky eater, they would look at you like it's, they wouldn't understand it.

00:45:28.540 What do you mean picky eater?

00:45:29.500 What does that mean?

00:45:29.980 So I still think that this is a first world luxury.

00:45:35.380 And I would also say that you might be an extreme case because of your own stubbornness, although your mom, I think, handled it the correct way.

00:45:44.240 In 95% of cases, if your kid is a picky eater and you don't give in, you don't start doing the thing where you make them a separate meal, don't let them eat snacks.

00:45:57.020 That's another big thing.

00:45:58.260 Kids are always obsessed with eating snacks during the day.

00:45:59.980 You've got to keep the snacks away from them.

00:46:01.160 And if you do that, then they'll get out of their picky eating phase pretty quickly.

00:46:05.680 We've done this with our own kids four times.

00:46:09.100 Every kid goes through a phase where they are refusing to eat dinner, and it's relatively easy to break them of that.

00:46:15.500 I still maintain.

00:46:16.380 Melissa says, Matt, I have to agree with those who say that you're giving the right, quote unquote, she puts it in quotes, too much credit for resisting gender ideology. 0.95

00:46:25.440 Progressive feminists were first to the battlefield on this issue and deserve more credit than you give them. 1.00

00:46:31.700 This was, again, apparently a big argument on Twitter over the weekend.

00:46:36.900 How much credit should we give feminists? 1.00

00:46:38.680 Feminists aren't giving enough credit. 1.00

00:46:40.580 I'll say a couple things about that.

00:46:42.620 I think I've probably already said enough.

00:46:43.700 One point is that there is a difference between the situation in the UK and the situation here in the United States.

00:46:51.640 And I think it is quite apparent that left-wing feminists in the UK have had some success, some significant success in pushing back against gender ideology.

00:47:08.040 In terms of policy, in terms of winning the hearts and minds of the public, they've had success there.

00:47:14.420 That's not the case in the USA.

00:47:16.380 Now, there are maybe some, you know, there are some left-wing feminists in this country who are outspoken critics of gender ideology. 1.00

00:47:23.480 But almost all of the progress being made on this front is happening on the right.

00:47:28.340 It just is in this country.

00:47:29.520 And the other point, too, is that if you're obsessed with getting credit, like if that's your primary focus, is making sure you get all the credit that you want, then you're just going to be useless in the fight.

00:47:46.740 And this is my problem.

00:47:51.180 Even with the feminists in the UK who, again, have made some good headway in their country on this issue. 0.99

00:48:01.560 But then what is a woman comes out and all they can talk about is, well, we didn't get enough credit. 0.98

00:48:07.100 We should have been in this.

00:48:07.800 Why didn't we get more credit?

00:48:08.700 You take yourself out of the fight.

00:48:11.700 You make yourself irrelevant when you become obsessed with getting credit.

00:48:19.420 Adam says, Matt, I need you to chime in on the great debate of our time.

00:48:22.960 Candy corn, yay or nay?

00:48:24.360 Yeah, I know Knowles had a trolling tweet over the weekend about how much he loves candy corn.

00:48:28.160 I have to assume it was trolling because nobody actually really likes candy corn except as a troll.

00:48:32.860 So obviously it's a nay. 0.98

00:48:34.440 It's a big nay for me on candy corn.

00:48:36.540 Candy corn tastes like what they must have eaten for candy back in the 17th century.

00:48:42.240 The pilgrims were eating this stuff on the Mayflower.

00:48:46.020 This is what you would consider a treat if you were stuck on a ship for months at sea eating bread filled with maggots.

00:48:55.180 And then if someone gives you, in that case, if someone gives you some candy corn, you would eat it.

00:48:58.180 Only that analogy doesn't quite work either because candy corn also tastes, it tastes distinctly modern in the sense that it tastes like a plastic byproduct.

00:49:06.500 It tastes artificial, you know, plastic.

00:49:08.160 It tastes like it should have been made by Fisher Price.

00:49:12.180 So I don't think anyone really likes candy corn.

00:49:14.000 And you might be, I think maybe two or three times in my life, I've gone through, there's been a moment, a moment of brief insanity where I'm weirdly in the mood for candy corn.

00:49:24.000 But then you have one and you snap out of it.

00:49:27.420 You realize how disgusting this stuff is.

00:49:30.480 That's the official ruling on candy corn.

00:49:32.240 Glad we could talk about that.

00:49:34.020 You know, woke progressives will try to do anything in their power to silence us, deplatforming, shadow banning, canceling, all the rest of it.

00:49:40.680 The great thing about Daily Wire is no one can cancel us here.

00:49:43.180 We not only speak our mind here every day, but we also go the extra mile to interact with our audience, too.

00:49:49.680 I'm talking, of course, about All Access Live, our series of Q&As that we do every week, every day.

00:49:55.880 And the exciting news is that Jordan Peterson will be hosting his very first All Access Live tomorrow, September 27th at 1 p.m. Eastern.

00:50:02.840 Now, you might remember Jordan has had an appearance in my documentary, What is a Woman?

00:50:06.220 If you don't remember, you should go back and rewatch it, not just because it's brilliant, but because that is the guy who might answer one of your questions, Jordan Peterson.

00:50:15.820 That's right.

00:50:16.260 You'll get the chance to ask the greatest thinker in Western civilization a burning question, but only if you're a Daily Wire Plus All Access member.

00:50:23.880 So if you're not yet a member, all you got to do is go to dailywire.com slash walsh to subscribe today.

00:50:28.360 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:50:34.700 Today we cancel a TikToker by the name of Jordana Grace. 0.99

00:50:39.640 Now, as far as I could tell, based on the 35 seconds of research I did in preparation for this segment, Jordana is an unmarried, childless woman in her 30s from the looks of it. 0.64

00:50:49.340 No reason to make fun of someone because of that.

00:50:52.020 There are people who are unmarried and childless in their 30s through no choice of their own.

00:50:55.620 But if you're unmarried, no matter your age, the situation calls for some humility.

00:51:01.800 There is obviously quite a lot about dating and relationships that you don't understand yet because you haven't made it to the next level.

00:51:08.900 So if you're wise and if you don't want to be single and lonely for your entire life,

00:51:14.140 you'll listen with an open mind to the insights and advice of those who have made it farther down the road than you.

00:51:19.720 And you'll especially listen to the voices of your ancestors who lived at a time when most people managed to get married much younger and they stayed together much longer.

00:51:29.660 They stayed together, in fact, in most cases until death.

00:51:32.320 Because these were people who were bold enough to take the marriage vows seriously rather than treating them as we do, like a series of meaningless bumper sticker slogans.

00:51:41.060 But listening humbly does not appear to be Jordana's strong suit.

00:51:45.840 And so she has made a series of viral TikTok videos where she mocks 1950s dating advice. 0.83

00:51:52.340 I believe she got this list from a magazine article from 1958.

00:51:56.340 And it's absolutely hilarious, she thinks.

00:51:59.600 Let's listen.

00:52:01.040 Ladies, I found the handbook to bag you a husband. 1.00

00:52:04.440 A magazine from 1958 has posted 129 ways to find a husband.

00:52:11.200 Here are the top tips.

00:52:13.040 Number 17, be nice to ugly men because handsome is as handsome does.

00:52:18.700 Number 23, go to all your high school reunions because there could be widowers there. 1.00

00:52:25.580 Number 30, learn to paint and set up an easel outside of an engineering school.

00:52:30.260 Number 25, go back to your hometown because the wild boy next door might now be an eligible bachelor.

00:52:38.320 Number 33, carry a hat box.

00:52:42.080 Number 38, drop a handkerchief. 0.94

00:52:44.480 It still works.

00:52:46.480 Number 34, wear a band-aid so he can ask what's wrong.

00:52:50.780 Number 40 is the best.

00:52:52.580 Stand in a corner and cry softly because he'll come over and ask what's wrong.

00:52:56.520 Let me just add one more tip right from the outset.

00:53:02.640 Do not cackle condescendingly like some kind of smarmy hyena. 0.50

00:53:08.320 Ladies, I'm telling you, there is nothing less attractive to a man than fake, pompous, shrieking, patronizing laughter.

00:53:16.660 Now, men are famously visually oriented.

00:53:19.040 If you are physically attractive, it is relatively difficult to lose attractiveness points in our eyes.

00:53:25.760 But condescension in general, and especially condescension in the form of an annoying laugh, that'll do it.

00:53:31.720 It causes within us a reaction of actual physical revulsion.

00:53:36.940 So just don't do it.

00:53:37.940 It's not worth it.

00:53:39.220 We love your warm, genuine laughter.

00:53:42.020 We hate the fake, disdainful, I'm better than you laugh.

00:53:45.620 So keep that one bottled up if you can.

00:53:48.020 But what about this advice from 1958?

00:53:51.640 Jordana finds it hysterical.

00:53:53.760 Now, she hasn't found a husband herself yet, but she's quite sure that these tricks of the trade are laughably absurd.

00:54:01.300 And I admit that through a modern lens, some of them do seem kind of funny.

00:54:06.240 But let's drop that modern prejudice for a moment and take a look at them again. 0.96

00:54:11.040 So first, it says, be nice to ugly men. 0.87

00:54:13.280 Now, as an ugly man myself, I may be biased, but this seems like worthwhile advice to me.

00:54:19.240 In fact, you should be nice to everyone as a default until they give you a good reason to act otherwise.

00:54:24.620 Because men are attracted to nice women.

00:54:29.040 Maybe that's like breaking news these days, but it's true. 0.98

00:54:32.320 As previously covered, there is no personality trait in a woman that we find less attractive than rudeness and condescension. 0.99

00:54:41.780 Despite all the modern propaganda telling women to be tough, hard-edged, girl bosses, quote-unquote, 0.97

00:54:47.040 So, the fact is that men still prefer women who are kind and empathetic and warm and feminine.

00:54:54.220 Also, on the subject of ugly men in particular, it's worth keeping in mind that men will often hit their peak physically, mentally, financially later in life.

00:55:03.160 So, from a woman's perspective, a man might be at his most desirable in his 30s, 40s, even 50s.

00:55:07.700 There has been many a man, written off as ugly and undesirable in young adulthood, who later checks every box.

00:55:15.420 So, that seems to be part of what this piece of advice is hinting at.

00:55:19.040 And I think this also mostly explains the advice about going to high school reunions and returning to your hometown.

00:55:26.200 Though both of those are perhaps irrelevant in modern times because many adults never leave their hometowns.

00:55:30.640 And social media has made high school reunions mostly obsolete, I guess.

00:55:34.600 You don't need to go to the reunion to see who got rich and who got fat.

00:55:38.300 You know, Facebook for that.

00:55:40.060 What about the advice urging single women to set up easels outside of an engineering school? 0.92

00:55:45.440 Now, I'm not sure that I would choose an engineering school necessarily, as engineers tend to be sort of weird.

00:55:53.140 But the general strategy is quite ingenious because men are attracted to women with artistic talents.

00:55:58.940 We like that.

00:55:59.700 We don't much care about the money you make or how far you've climbed on the corporate ladder.

00:56:04.600 But we do find artistic talent interesting.

00:56:07.160 And this certainly works in the reverse too, probably more so.

00:56:10.460 The fact is that whether you're a man or a woman, you'll be seen as more beautiful if you can create beautiful things.

00:56:18.880 And talent, whether artistic talent or any other kind of talent, is attractive in general to everybody.

00:56:25.780 The rest of the advice all falls into the same category.

00:56:28.320 You know, wear a Band-Aid, cry in a corner, carry a hat box.

00:56:33.420 You might even try doing all these things at once.

00:56:35.700 Now, I can't personally endorse the strategy because it's a little bit too dishonest and manipulative for my taste.

00:56:41.700 But I can't deny the potential effectiveness of it either.

00:56:45.220 See, the point is to ignite a man's chivalrous side.

00:56:49.220 Give him a reason to help you.

00:56:51.580 I assume the idea behind the hat box is that, you know, a man might offer to carry it for you.

00:56:56.680 And a hat box is, I don't know if I've ever seen a hat box, but I guess it's like pretty big and kind of cumbersome, but it's light.

00:57:02.760 So that makes it easy.

00:57:03.840 Like a man can offer it to help for you, but it's not going to be too heavy for him.

00:57:06.400 And he can feel like he's doing something.

00:57:07.580 Now, I would perhaps update this to a more relevant object for the modern age, though a hat box would have the advantage of being an interesting conversation starter.

00:57:16.640 It would give a man a chance to ask questions like, why did you buy this large hat?

00:57:22.040 Why are you carrying it around in a box rather than on your head?

00:57:25.640 Where are you going with the hat?

00:57:27.360 What will you do with it when you get there?

00:57:29.940 Many successful relationships have begun with hat-related conversations of this sort.

00:57:34.160 Now, as for standing in the corner and crying or faking of physical injury, these are tactics as old as time itself.

00:57:43.300 Men want to be able to help.

00:57:45.200 They want to use their masculine energy in that way. 0.95

00:57:48.840 There's a reason why the storybooks through the ages have always told of men rescuing damsels in distress.

00:57:55.160 A man wants to be a hero.

00:57:57.360 And if you can give a man that opportunity, hopefully in a less deceitful way, it will benefit both you and him.

00:58:04.160 The point is to encourage those nobler, more chivalrous impulses.

00:58:09.120 And if such strategies are less reliable in modern times, it's only because men have been increasingly conditioned to suppress those masculine impulses.

00:58:18.140 On the basis that chivalry is toxic and patriarchal.

00:58:22.080 Now, so it may be true that in some places in our country today, blue states mostly,

00:58:26.640 A woman could cry in the corner and no man will come to her aid. 0.99

00:58:31.720 But if that's the case, it's an indictment on our culture, not on the culture that produced the dating advice that this woman is mocking.

00:58:39.640 And whatever you think of the advice, it is certainly better than the list of advice that our culture would come up with.

00:58:47.840 So think about it.

00:58:50.160 A modern list of dating tips for women would sound something like this. 0.89

00:58:54.740 Number one, totally neglect your physical appearance.

00:58:57.920 Fat is beautiful.

00:58:59.540 Body positivity means destroying your body on purpose.

00:59:02.480 You go, girl.

00:59:04.000 Number two, swear off having children. 0.86

00:59:06.740 Make sure every man knows that if he ends up with you, his bloodline will die with him.

00:59:11.820 Men just, they love that.

00:59:12.880 Not going to leave a legacy behind, they can't get enough of that.

00:59:17.480 Number three, family life is oppressive and archaic.

00:59:21.120 So devote yourself fully to your employer instead.

00:59:25.740 Men are sexually attracted to ambitious, career-minded women most of all. 0.98

00:59:28.960 That's what they want the most. 0.88
