The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1034 - Medical Organizations Want Us Arrested For Criticizing Them

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, major medical organizations called the DOJ to arrest and

00:00:04.640 imprison those of us who criticize their medical practices. Also, female athletes at a school in

00:00:09.720 Vermont are banned from the locker room because they don't want to get naked in front of a boy. 0.98

00:00:14.560 Candace Owens and Kanye West are up trouble by wearing shirts with a very controversial

00:00:18.320 message, White Lives Matter. You can't say that. Leftist activists make their counterinsurgency

00:00:24.360 battle plans for my What is a Woman screening tour. And in our daily cancellation, two gay 1.00

00:00:29.340 men say they have a right to be biological parents. How does that work exactly? We'll 1.00

00:00:34.260 find out today. That and much more on Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:46.260 So you know Biden's infrastructure bill that Congress passed last year? Well, here's something

00:00:51.360 that I bet you didn't know about it. In a few years, every car might be required to come with

00:00:55.820 a safety device that passively monitors you for impaired driving. Big government wants to control

00:01:01.460 every part of your life and clamp down on your digital freedom. That's why I use ExpressVPN to

00:01:06.940 protect my network from being monitored. Your internet provider can keep logs of your internet

00:01:11.320 activity, which includes things like the sites you visited and how much time you spent on them.

00:01:15.940 But when you use ExpressVPN, your internet activity is shielded. Their app works by rerouting 100%

00:01:20.740 of your network data through their secure encrypted servers to keep your activity private. Unlike the

00:01:58.540 Yesterday, the American Academy of Pediatrics, along with the American Medical Association and the

00:02:03.840 Children's Hospital Association, collectively published a letter which was addressed to the

00:02:08.100 Department of Justice and which calls for me to be prosecuted and thrown in federal prison.

00:02:14.360 So just another day at the office, I suppose. But it's not just me being targeted. Of course,

00:02:19.000 Libs of TikTok, Chris Rufo and others are all are on the hit list. And the letter doesn't mention us

00:02:25.440 by name, but it doesn't have to. Besides, there's always the media, which is here to sort of fill in

00:02:29.500 the blanks for them, which they rely on. So as The Hill reports, quote, leading health care

00:02:33.920 organizations and sent a letter Monday to Attorney General Merrick Garland and called on the Department

00:02:39.720 of Justice to investigate recent threats of violence against physicians, hospitals and

00:02:44.240 families that provide gender affirming care to transgender youth. The organizations collectively

00:02:48.040 represent more than 270,000 physicians and more than 220 children's hospitals nationwide. Medical

00:02:53.200 facilities that provide gender affirming health care to transgender minors have recently been the

00:02:56.960 targets of online attacks. And the letter says a few high profile users are intentionally spreading

00:03:02.460 false and misleading information. Conservative commentators, including Tucker Carlson and Matt Walsh,

00:03:07.060 as well as right wing social media accounts with large followings like Libs of TikTok have alleged

00:03:11.280 that doctors are abusing children by prescribing puberty blockers and gender affirming hormones.

00:03:17.680 Now, notice the verbiage there. First of all, we have we're told that we've alleged that doctors are

00:03:24.560 abusing children by prescribing puberty blockers and gender affirming hormones. So which part is alleged

00:03:31.260 that doctors are prescribing these drugs or that they're abusing children by prescribing the drugs?

00:03:37.060 So as always, the phrasing is intentionally vague and misleading and also false. We should we should know we are not

00:03:43.840 alleging that doctors are giving sterilization and castration drugs to kids. They're doing more than that, too.

00:03:50.060 They're mutilating kids physically through surgery. We're not alleging that we're reporting it. We're observing it.

00:03:56.360 We're pointing it out. It is a fact that this is happening. And we are calling attention to the fact.

00:04:04.640 We're also not alleging that these drugs constitute abuse. Again, this is a fact according to any coherent

00:04:11.260 definition of the word abuse. We are arguing that this practice is abusive and we are presenting evidence

00:04:19.140 and information to support that claim. But we know, of course, that the other side will not honestly

00:04:25.640 engage with us because they cannot. They can only lie and mislead. And if that fails, they can call

00:04:30.940 upon their powerful friends to have a silence, which brings us to the actual letter, which begins,

00:04:35.920 quote, Dear Attorney General Garland, on behalf of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American

00:04:41.300 Medical Association and the Children's Hospital Association, collectively representing more than 270,000

00:04:46.060 physicians and more than 220 children's hospitals, we write to urge you to investigate the organization's

00:04:51.600 individuals and entities coordinating, provoking, and carrying out bomb threats and threats of personal

00:04:58.080 violence against children's hospitals and physicians across the U.S. So take special note of the words

00:05:04.820 individuals and provoking. Now, if they had simply called upon the DOJ to investigate the people

00:05:11.080 carrying out the alleged bomb threats, I'd have no complaint about that. Yes,

00:05:15.920 if there's a bomb threat, investigate it. But they also want the federal government to bring the

00:05:20.880 hammer down on the individuals who they claim are provoking these alleged threats. And it's already

00:05:27.260 been made very clear that anyone who reports on what these hospitals are doing or criticizes them for

00:05:33.360 it or says that they should not be doing what they're doing is inciting violence. Even if they never call

00:05:40.120 for violence or say anything that could be remotely construed as an encouragement for violence,

00:05:44.020 just by talking about it, they are inciting violence. So it's clear who's being referred

00:05:48.420 to here. Now, continuing from Boston to Akron to Nashville to Seattle, children's hospitals,

00:05:54.520 academic health systems, and physicians are being targeted and threatened for providing evidence-based

00:05:59.340 health care. These attacks have not only made it difficult and dangerous for institutions and

00:06:03.260 practices to provide this care, they've also disrupted many other services to family-seeking

00:06:08.280 care. These coordinated attacks threaten federally protected rights to health care for

00:06:13.040 patients and their families. The attacks are rooted in an intentional campaign of disinformation

00:06:17.440 where a few high-profile users on social media share false and misleading information targeting

00:06:23.400 individual physicians and hospitals, resulting in a rapid escalation of threats, harassment,

00:06:28.200 and disruption of care across multiple jurisdictions. Organizations have called on technology companies

00:06:33.100 to do more to prevent this practice on digital platforms, and we now urge your office to take swift action

00:06:38.500 to investigate and prosecute all organizations, individuals, and entities responsible.

00:06:45.240 Well, there it is. High-profile users on social media are targeting hospitals, which results in

00:06:52.200 threats. And this is happening in places like Boston, and they mention Nashville. And they say these

00:06:59.280 individuals should be investigated and prosecuted. And this is all according to three of the largest and

00:07:06.220 wealthiest medical organizations in the entire world. So make no mistake here. They are explicitly

00:07:11.320 stating that high-profile people, quote-unquote, who criticize their practices should go to federal

00:07:17.560 prison. That's what you're asking for when you're asking for the federal government to arrest somebody.

00:07:23.920 They're not just saying that it should happen. They're actively calling on the attorney general to make

00:07:28.560 it happen. They intend to use the force of the federal government to silence us permanently if they can.

00:07:36.220 So let me make a few points here. First of all, we are once again accused of sharing false and

00:07:44.620 misleading information, to use their phrasing. And yet, once again, they fail to provide any specific

00:07:50.600 example of this supposed misinformation. So I've been told a million times that what I'm saying is

00:07:57.400 misinformation, what Libs of TikTok is saying is misinformation, Chris Rufo, everybody, what we're all

00:08:02.020 saying is misinformation. No one's ever specified what exact part is misinformation. They don't do

00:08:09.000 that because they know full well that everything we've reported about these hospitals is factual

00:08:14.660 and supported by extensive documentation and evidence. We lay it all out. They also know full

00:08:21.740 well that we're not saying anything that these medical establishments have not already said themselves.

00:08:26.200 So the hospitals say, we provide these services. And then we say, look, these hospitals just said

00:08:32.480 they provide these services. And then we get accused of misinformation. The real misinformation here

00:08:38.820 is the claim that we are spreading misinformation. That itself is misinformation. It's also defamatory.

00:08:44.940 Okay, the AAP and the AMA, they are lying about us with the direct and explicit intent of causing us harm.

00:08:54.160 That's defamation. Second, I'm obviously well aware that the people who go around all day crying about

00:09:02.080 fascism and tyranny really have no idea what these terms mean, nor do they care. But if we were living in

00:09:09.380 some alternate reality where such people had integrity, then maybe they'd be concerned about this

00:09:14.780 actual real-life example of authoritarian tyranny happening in their midst. Because to state again,

00:09:20.780 these extraordinarily well-funded and powerful medical organizations are attempting to use the arm of the

00:09:26.080 state to suppress, intimidate, and punish their critics. And not just the state. See, we see here the whole

00:09:32.300 multi-headed hydra monstrosity come into view. This is the medical establishment

00:09:37.220 government, summoning the federal government, and also the big tech monopoly, to crush anyone who

00:09:43.880 opposes it. And in this effort, they also get a big assist from the corporate media. So this is the

00:09:49.940 system. The corporate media, the government, medical establishment, big tech. This is the system.

00:09:57.180 It's the thing the left used to pretend to rage against. Yesterday, there was a woman named Brooke

00:10:03.580 Binkowski, who's the managing editor of a sham fact-checking outfit. And she tweeted at me in 1.00

00:10:10.080 support of the AAP's speech suppression tactic. She said, freedom of speech isn't freedom from

00:10:15.420 consequences for that speech. That's the part you bootlickers always forget until it's too late.

00:10:20.180 Cry more. Yet, of course, the medical establishment is trying to get the state involved. And free speech

00:10:28.880 does most certainly mean that your speech should be free from government reprisal. If that's not what

00:10:34.940 free speech means, then I don't know what free speech means. Which is what people like, you know,

00:10:41.380 that's what people like Brooke really mean, by the way. They don't think that free speech means

00:10:45.380 anything. They don't care about it. They're too cowardly to say it. But it's her usage of the

00:10:50.520 term bootlicker that really interests me. Because she is here coming to the defense of the federal 1.00

00:10:56.580 government, the medical establishment, big tech, and the corporate media. She is defending

00:11:00.080 all of the most powerful institutions in our society. And while doing so, accusing me of being a

00:11:06.440 bootlicker. No, I'm the one that they are trying to stomp under their boot heel. Okay, me and anyone else

00:11:14.740 that opposes what the medical establishment is doing to kids, we're the ones being stomped or 0.97

00:11:19.640 that they're attempting to stomp. She is the one kneeling and kissing their feet. She and everybody

00:11:26.060 else on the left. They rage against the machine these days by bowing before it. But will they be

00:11:35.220 successful? The AAP wants Garland's goons to break down our doors and cart us away in the middle of the

00:11:43.660 night at gunpoint. And is that actually going to happen? Maybe. I mean, you can't rule it out.

00:11:50.680 It's exactly what they just did to that pro-life activist up in Pennsylvania.

00:11:56.260 And if they'll do it on that issue to a guy like that,

00:11:59.660 then they'll do it here. So, you know, it is possible. I will say that. It's certainly a possibility.

00:12:06.420 I can't control that or predict it. But what I can say is this, what I've been saying all along,

00:12:13.940 which is that I truly believe that gender ideology is one of the greatest evils in human history. 1.00

00:12:20.580 I don't say that lightly. It's what I actually, that's what I believe. And I believe that those

00:12:25.980 of us who are in this fight are called to be here. This is our vocation. This is our mission.

00:12:29.400 There's nothing they could threaten that would make me back down from this fight. You're going

00:12:36.040 to have to throw me in prison or kill me because that's the only way you'll shut me up. 1.00

00:12:40.100 I would actually rather be dead than surrender to this madness. 0.99

00:12:45.320 For me, it's as simple as that. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:12:49.500 This is from fox17.com. It says, girls high school volleyball team, a girls high school

00:13:01.720 volleyball team has reportedly been banned from its own locker room after some players objected

00:13:05.760 to allowing a transgender player to be present while the team was changing clothes. In Vermont,

00:13:11.600 the home of Randolph High School, state policy dictates that transgender students can play sports

00:13:16.400 and use facilities that correspond to their desired gender. The state law allows for trans

00:13:21.040 students to play on Randolph High's girls volleyball team and apparently use the team's

00:13:25.060 locker rooms at the same time as everybody else. Adding to this, the trans athlete allegedly made 1.00

00:13:28.880 an inappropriate remark to other players on the team while they were all changing, which made

00:13:33.140 some uncomfortable. One student who spoke with a news outlet claimed that the issue had become a

00:13:37.820 school-wide controversy. Quote, it's a huge thing. Everyone's asking, so why aren't you allowed in the

00:13:42.880 locker room? This is according to Blake Allen, one of the affected volleyball players.

00:13:46.400 My mom wants me to do this interview to try to make a change. I feel like for stating my opinion

00:13:50.980 that I don't want a biological man changing with me, that I should not have harassment charges or

00:13:56.140 bullying charges. They should all be dropped. Allen claims that several other students and some

00:14:01.280 parents have raised complaints about allowing the transgender athlete inside the girls locker room.

00:14:07.340 Those concerns were all reportedly shot down by the school officials who pointed to state law,

00:14:10.860 which says transgender athletes are allowed to use whichever locker room they wish. 1.00

00:14:13.820 One parent who spoke with a daily signal was reportedly bewildered that the school would

00:14:18.400 prioritize the transgender students' needs over their daughters. Quote, we allowed a child who's

00:14:23.900 biologically the opposite sex male to go in a locker room where biologically girls were getting 1.00

00:14:28.760 fully changed. The biological child was not changing and sat in the back and watched girls getting 0.98

00:14:34.800 changed. That made girls feel uncomfortable, made girls feel violated and not protected.

00:14:40.380 Yeah, I should think so. In response to the complaints, Randolph High said in a letter to

00:14:46.140 parents that it has plenty of space where students who feel uncomfortable with the laws may change in

00:14:49.840 privacy. So that's what we're saying to the girls, not to the boy who's claiming that his gender

00:14:58.120 identity needs require him to change in a locker room with girls. Not even change, reportedly. Just sit 0.58

00:15:03.600 there and watch them get changed. So we can't say to him, you know, there's plenty of other facilities.

00:15:07.260 If you want to, you know, you can change somewhere else. You don't need to change it. We're not going

00:15:10.140 to say it to him. We'll say that to all the girls who feel uncomfortable. Say to the girls, oh, if you

00:15:14.860 don't want to get naked in front of this guy, that's your problem. You're the one with an issue.

00:15:19.320 You can go somewhere else.

00:15:23.380 In response to the complaints, Randolph High sent a letter to parents that, and it said that it has

00:15:27.960 plenty of space. I read that. Allen contests that the school's statement and its apparent solution

00:15:32.480 of using more private areas such as bathroom stalls to change simply aren't feasible. Allen said they

00:15:37.920 want all the girls who feel uncomfortable, so pretty much 10 girls, to get changed in a single

00:15:41.600 stall bathroom, which would take over 30 minutes, where if one person got changed separately, it would

00:15:46.180 take a minute. No extra time. So you could have 10 girls take turns with one stall in a bathroom 1.00

00:15:52.480 getting changed. And that is the solution they came up with, rather than saying to the one guy,

00:15:57.540 you get changed in a stall. The girls have said they don't have any issue with the trans athlete 0.51

00:16:05.980 playing on their team, but they don't want the transgender person in the locker room where 1.00

00:16:09.320 they're changing, especially given the inappropriate remark that the person allegedly made.

00:16:15.820 And then it continues, the volleyball team has been banned from the locker room by the school,

00:16:22.000 with officials saying in an email announcement that they do not make this decision lightly,

00:16:25.760 but we believe it's the right decision at this time.

00:16:30.260 The Vermont Agency of Education Policy says,

00:16:32.620 the use of restrooms and locker rooms by transgender students requires

00:16:35.620 schools to consider numerous factors. A transgender student should not be required 1.00

00:16:40.640 to use a locker room or restroom that conflicts with a student's gender identity.

00:16:47.320 You know, I'm sometimes tempted to draw historical analogies and to compare all of this to other

00:16:54.060 previous examples of, you know, mass hysteria, mass insanity that you see throughout history.

00:16:59.720 But this is really on a different level because, and it defies comparison in so many ways.

00:17:07.640 Other incidents of mass hysteria, for one thing, are much more contained. They're more localized.

00:17:13.240 The Salem witch trials, for example, and oftentimes they're much shorter in duration.

00:17:19.100 Sort of these weird blips on the historical radar. So there was something called the Dancing Plague

00:17:26.220 of 1518. And I don't know a whole lot about it, but I don't think anyone really does. What I do know

00:17:31.280 is that in 1518, it's some village in the Roman Empire, I think in modern day France,

00:17:37.180 dozens of people, just townspeople started dancing and they danced for weeks and nobody knew why they

00:17:44.140 were dancing. And some of them like danced themselves to death. And it was thought at the time that they

00:17:48.860 were demonically possessed. Now it's theorized that they were sick or I think one theory is that they

00:17:53.240 had food poisoning, which makes you dance. I've, you know, I've had food poisoning before. I've been

00:17:57.920 a Burger King like so many other people. It's never caused me to dance. In fact, I would rather get

00:18:04.560 food poisoning that makes me vomit my guts out for two days than have food poisoning that makes me

00:18:10.400 dance. Anyway, that's one theory. Another theory is that it was, you know, some sort of psychotic

00:18:14.360 episode that they all were having at the same time. Personally, I prefer the contemporaneous

00:18:18.040 explanation of demonic possession makes more sense to me. But either way, these things are

00:18:23.960 similar to the transgender craze that is inflicting our society right now in that they are bizarre, 1.00

00:18:29.660 irrational. They cause people to completely lose their grip on reality. And also the transgender 1.00

00:18:39.000 craze like the dancing epidemic or the Salem witch trials will be looked back on by history as a

00:18:45.840 mystery, a period of time that requires explanation, but can never really be explained. That's what you

00:18:52.960 have to realize about what we're living through right now, that we are living in a chapter of the

00:18:57.860 history books, one of those chapters where people are going to be trying to explain it. Like that's going

00:19:02.340 to be the main topic of conversation for historians of the future. How did that happen exactly?

00:19:09.000 And yet this is different. It's far worse because it's much wider spread.

00:19:14.560 It encompasses all of Western civilization. It's been going on for years and the consequences are

00:19:20.580 far more dire, far more dire, but it's still mass hysteria intentionally orchestrated,

00:19:26.980 but mass hysteria. And now we have girls getting kicked out of their locker rooms for not wanting to 0.92

00:19:33.980 be naked around a boy who is also sexually harassing them allegedly. And even if he wasn't saying

00:19:39.660 anything, just his very presence is sexual harassment. I mean, that's what we used to all

00:19:44.640 agree. I thought that if you are interjecting yourself into a situation and where a girl does 0.95

00:19:53.940 not want you there, doesn't consent to it in her private space where she is vulnerable and, you know,

00:19:59.800 taking her clothes off and you show up and she doesn't want you there, your very presence is

00:20:04.920 harassment. We used to all agree. And the sane and rational among us still agree. It's just that

00:20:10.600 we're a dwindling minority, unfortunately. Being sane and rational, I mean. By the way, Caitlyn Jenner

00:20:17.440 was on Fox to talk about this. And, uh, and I saw this cause it was trending on social media this

00:20:22.740 morning. Caitlyn Jenner was trending for this. Um, let's, let's check that out. Here it is.

00:20:27.520 The left is hijacked and politicized yet another minority group in our wonderful country, 1.00

00:20:33.640 the good old US of a, and this time again, it's trans people, um, as a result of their radical left 0.99

00:20:41.140 and their use of identity politics agenda, they're really driving this country apart. I thought Joe

00:20:48.780 Biden was supposed to be the great unifier and all they're doing is driving in this apart. Now,

00:20:53.940 does this trans girl have the right under Vermont law, um, to be on the team and to use the, 0.86

00:21:01.000 the locker room? Yes, she does. Do these girls have the right to comment and tell the school board 1.00

00:21:10.040 how uncomfortable they are being in a locker room with basically a biological boy with a penis? 1.00

00:21:15.660 Absolutely. They do. And what is the school's solution to this? Well, let's ban the 10 girls, 1.00

00:21:24.420 uh, who complain the complainers, put them off in the corner in their own little part of the locker

00:21:29.640 room and don't do anything when it comes to the, this trans person. So honestly, everything is out 1.00

00:21:36.620 of whack right now. So these things have to stop. Everything's out of whack. I agree. So it's,

00:21:42.680 it's so out of whack that this male who identifies as a woman is being trotted out onto TV to be the

00:21:50.140 voice of reason. And it's celebrated by many on the right in that role. But, but Jenner is not suited

00:21:55.960 for the position of the voice of reason. This is like, um, the worst possible person actually

00:22:02.000 that you could bring in to talk about this would be Caitlyn Jenner. But of course what they think as

00:22:06.540 well, this is a trans person. It's a perfect, see, we, we, we get credit from the left because

00:22:10.280 it's a trans person saying all of this. Jenner is part of the problem. Okay. It was Jenner winning 0.95

00:22:17.460 woman of the year in 2015 or whenever that was, who did perhaps more than anyone else currently alive

00:22:23.680 on the planet to bring chance transgenderism into the mainstream. You know, the, the, the, the, 1.00

00:22:30.240 at least the, the final move into the mainstream was brought about, uh, largely by Caitlyn Jenner.

00:22:39.280 We used to be Bruce Jenner. Uh, that was a, that was a, a pivotal moment in history. And again,

00:22:46.780 historians looking back on that, they're going to point to that moment, not the beginning of the

00:22:50.000 transgender craze, uh, but even so a pivotal moment of bringing it into the mainstream. 0.63

00:22:55.820 And it's not like Jenner has repented of that or said, you know what? I was wrong about all that.

00:23:00.560 I wish I wasn't a part of that. No, not at all. And now we get these Fox segments,

00:23:04.800 but Jenner's position makes no sense. Okay. Is the biological, and of course they don't,

00:23:10.920 they don't ask, they don't ask this, but is, is the biological male a girl or not? Jenner says,

00:23:18.560 uh, this, you know, this person who's, who's basically a biological male. No, not basically

00:23:24.020 a biological male. It's a biological male. So is the biological male a girl or not?

00:23:30.480 If he's a girl, as Jenner says, then yes, he would have the right to use the girl's locker room. In 0.87

00:23:36.980 fact, if he was a girl and hadn't done anything else. So let's say that the sexual harassment,

00:23:41.520 uh, the inappropriate remarks that are alleged didn't, didn't actually happen. So it's just a

00:23:46.380 girl using the locker room, not doing anything wrong. And those other girls decided to be mean 1.00

00:23:51.720 and demand that, uh, he be kicked out, uh, because he's not cool or something. Then it would be the

00:23:58.540 right decision to tell the other girls that they should leave instead of him. If he was actually a

00:24:06.200 girl, but he's not. See the one single, the, the only argument against quote, trans girls in the 0.55

00:24:14.380 girls locker room is that they are not girls. That is the only argument. It's the only one. It's a 0.95

00:24:20.560 good argument. It's the only argument you need, but it's also the only argument. If we're not right

00:24:26.280 about that, if we, if we are not correct, that trans girls are not in fact girls, then we're wrong

00:24:30.860 about the whole thing, but we are correct. Obviously there is no other argument. So Jenner wants to

00:24:37.760 affirm the girlness of this boy referring to him as a trans girl and yet still maintain that the

00:24:45.420 other girls are also correct. Well, you know, they're, they're, they're both right. No one's 0.84

00:24:49.340 wrong here. No, no, it's, this is a situation where you have diametrically opposed points of view

00:24:54.260 and only one person can be right. It's impossible for them both to be right.

00:24:57.140 And instead of getting someone on the segment to just explain this and actually speak some truth,

00:25:07.680 we get Caitlyn Jenner. It doesn't say anything, by the way, really all the whole segment just

00:25:14.280 amounts to, well, yeah, we got this situation. This is happening over here. That's happening over

00:25:18.380 there. It's a big mess. Oh, thanks, Caitlyn. Very insightful. We really are grateful for your

00:25:25.800 insight yet again. All right. Daily Wire reports this, uh, one day after wearing a White Lives 0.71

00:25:32.760 Matter shirt with Daily Wire host Candace Owens in Paris, Kanye West declared the Black Lives Matter

00:25:37.580 movement over. West and Owens shocked social media when the duo donned the White Lives Matter shirt,

00:25:43.500 each of which also included a picture of the Pope's face on the front while flanked by models and

00:25:49.260 matching tops. I didn't, okay. I never saw the front of the shirt. I saw the back. So there's the Pope

00:25:53.100 face on the front with models and matching tops. I can't quite connect the dots on that one, but

00:26:00.440 that's all right. Everyone knows the Black Lives Matter was a scam. West said on Instagram where he

00:26:04.620 was nearly, where he has nearly 18 million followers. Uh, now it's over. You're welcome.

00:26:09.240 The BLM movement has opposed law enforcement while promoting other radical ideas, uh, as we know. Okay. 0.89

00:26:13.840 So the White Lives Matter thing, um, uh, with our very own Candace Owens has been a big topic of

00:26:21.060 conversation and people are very upset. As you can imagine. Um, we don't have to go through the

00:26:27.440 whole rundown. In fact, I just saw, I mean, there's, there's so many examples of this. We

00:26:30.180 read them all, but I just saw someone posted, it was a fashion designer. Uh, I don't even, I don't

00:26:35.560 know which one, not that I can name any fashion designers who said that this was a traumatic, it was

00:26:39.760 a traumatic moment in all of our lives for Candace Owens and Kanye West to wear a shirt that says

00:26:44.020 White Lives Matter. Um, and lots of stuff like that. It's dangerous. It's traumatic. Uh, 0.99

00:26:50.140 Jameel Hill, Hill tweeted, so many folks are trying to excuse Kanye wearing a White Lives

00:26:55.300 Matter t-shirt as just a troll move or marketing. Maybe it is, but it's a dangerously dumb message 0.98

00:27:00.620 to send for someone with his massive platform. I been off, dude. I been off, dude. I been off, 0.95

00:27:07.480 dude. I've been off. I is supposed to be a comment there. I've been off, dude.

00:27:13.360 I've been off, dude. Oh, I've been, okay. So she has been off. She's been off this guy.

00:27:20.520 It's like, she doesn't like him. Is that, is that what it means? Okay. But y'all go ahead

00:27:25.420 labeling his foolishness as genius. Um, and then I responded to that. I said, yes, it's so incredibly 0.97

00:27:32.220 dangerous to say that a White man, a White person's life matters. We know that you would 1.00

00:27:36.260 never make such a claim, Jameel. You despise White people, which is why you're morally superior. 1.00

00:27:40.060 Thank you for enlightening us once again. A little bit of sarcasm there, I admit. But she 0.97

00:27:43.000 responded, I want you to pay attention to this response. Okay. Now remember, she originally

00:27:45.900 said that it's, it's not only dumb, but dangerous. It's dangerous to say that White 0.99

00:27:50.480 lives matter. She responded to me. She says, you truly don't have the range for this. The

00:27:55.300 reason we don't have to say White lives matter is because White lives have never not mattered. 1.00

00:27:59.680 The default position in this country is White equals worthiness. The same has never been 1.00

00:28:04.320 true for Black people. You're welcome. Now I want you to notice what she did there,

00:28:09.240 because this is always what happens, right? This is always what happens. Um,

00:28:13.900 she retreats from her claim without admitting that that's what she's doing because she does it in a

00:28:20.320 very, uh, defiant kind of way and acts like she's, you know, uh, like she's dropping the mic,

00:28:27.100 but she actually retreated completely from her claim because she originally said it's dangerous

00:28:32.060 to claim that White lives matter. And then in response to me, she says, it's just, 0.59

00:28:37.260 it's not necessary. It's redundant because White lives matter and everyone knows it. So you don't 1.00

00:28:41.020 need to say that. Well, those are two different things. Okay. Um, it's a, a redundant unnecessary

00:28:46.760 message is not the same as a dangerous message. In fact, a redundant unnecessary message cannot be

00:28:52.260 dangerous. It's, it's, it's redundant. It's unnecessary. How can it, how can it be dangerous

00:28:56.600 and also redundant and unnecessary? If it, what she's, what she's claiming in her follow-up is that,

00:29:02.820 well, it's, everyone knows that white lives matter. It's so, uh, inherently understood

00:29:07.220 that it's, we don't even need to say it. Well, if we all have this on inherent understanding and

00:29:12.440 everyone knows it, then how can it be dangerous to just say it out loud? The worst it could be

00:29:16.820 is redundant and unnecessary. No, it can only be dangerous. There's only one way,

00:29:25.760 only one way that a message can be dangerous and there can be dangerous messages. Here's a

00:29:33.300 dangerous message to say to a boy, uh, you could be a girl. That's a dangerous message. Very

00:29:38.640 dangerous. So I'm not here saying that, uh, words can never be dangerous. They can. You say that to a

00:29:43.840 child, those are words. It's very dangerous. But the only way a message can be dangerous is if it's

00:29:49.200 not true. Okay. If the message, the, uh, the, the, the, the statement, the declaration is true,

00:29:58.520 it can't be dangerous.

00:30:02.500 So if you are saying that it's dangerous, you are saying that it's not true, which,

00:30:06.040 which means that you are saying that you don't agree that white lives matter,

00:30:09.280 which is what she really means. So what she said the first time is what she means. It's what they all

00:30:15.260 mean. Anyone out there saying white lives matter is dangerous. What they all really 1.00

00:30:19.020 mean is that they don't agree with it. They don't think that white lives matter. At least they 1.00

00:30:22.020 don't matter as much as black lives do. And, uh, and, and so it's dangerous to say it because in 0.99

00:30:27.440 their mind, there's a racial hierarchy in our society that they've worked very hard to, uh, to

00:30:33.100 build. And when you go around, especially as a, as a black man and a black woman saying white

00:30:38.380 lives matter, well, that, that, that throws the whole hierarchy out of balance, makes everything

00:30:44.420 out of whack in Caitlyn Jenner's words. So that's their actual problem. And this is all, uh, you

00:30:51.520 know, just leaving aside the fact that what, what she's, what the claim that white lives have never 0.78

00:30:57.280 not mattered in this country is of course, uh, not true. Um, in fact, the very, the very fact that

00:31:05.020 it's considered dangerous to say white lives matter means that white lives are not valued as much as

00:31:12.440 other lives in this culture. I mean, can you think of any example, just, uh, you know, again,

00:31:19.040 we're talking about history today, historical precedents, just think of other, and there are,

00:31:25.020 and there are other examples you can think of through history where it was considered controversial

00:31:29.500 to say that a certain group of people had dignity or that their lives mattered to speak up in defense

00:31:37.860 of the, you know, the inherent human dignity of a certain group of people. Think of any time when

00:31:42.900 that's been considered controversial. Has it ever been because everyone knows that that group of

00:31:49.340 people, that they're great and everything's fine? Or is it because, uh, there is a considered effort

00:31:56.640 to dehumanize that particular group of people? Um, and then, and then of course we should also 0.60

00:32:05.980 note that of, of all the things that are rappers say, you know, of course, this is what they're

00:32:11.780 upset about. White lives matter of all the things that a rapper could say. And many rappers do say 0.86

00:32:16.620 Kanye West, not as much, but other rappers, and this is what they're getting upset about.

00:32:22.800 So of course, you know, they, they can go out there openly advocating to kids that they use drugs, 0.96

00:32:29.620 kill people, abuse women. That's not a dangerous message, but to say white lives matter. Well, 1.00

00:32:38.780 that's dangerous. Yeah. All right. This is, uh, as you know, we're on this, we're, we're just now

00:32:45.160 embarking on our screening tour for, uh, what is a woman? We're going to be going to colleges all

00:32:50.620 across the country and we're starting, we're here, we're in DC right now. We're going to be speaking at

00:32:55.120 Catholic university. We have an update on that, not just speaking, but screening the movie. And

00:32:59.320 then we'll do a Q and a, uh, we have an update on Catholic university, but first where we're going

00:33:03.260 next is, um, the university of Illinois. And so you have tweeted this yesterday. It says leftists

00:33:10.460 have a battle plan in place, what they call battle plan, quote unquote, to try and prevent Matt Walsh's

00:33:16.040 what is woman tour at UIUC this Thursday. They're asking volunteers to be mischief makers and plan to 1.00

00:33:22.620 assemble a massive trans pride flag in the audience. So this is what, and then we'll, we'll put it up

00:33:29.320 on the screen. You can see, this is what they're, they're sending around the activists. Um, I think

00:33:33.840 they originally, yeah, they originally posted this on Reddit and it says, um, remind him talking about

00:33:40.840 me that earth have no space for transphobic. What was that? Remind him that earth have no space.

00:33:48.220 Remind him that earth have no space for transphobic. You don't have to be trans non-binary to join

00:33:55.980 because you two are a human being. You are very unlikely to get into trouble. You can participate

00:34:01.360 anonymously. So what are they planning to do? They're going to cause some mischief during my Q and a,

00:34:05.720 this is in a couple of days. Oh, I'm walking into some mischief. I'm getting a little nervous about

00:34:10.720 this. You know, there's nothing I hate more than mischief. So, uh, what is it? We'll go with now.

00:34:15.300 You know, here's what they're doing. They have it, they have it all. Okay. They have it all drawn

00:34:18.380 out here. I have to say that this drawing is, I mean, my nine-year-old daughter literally draws

00:34:22.720 better pictures than this. We should have hired her. They should have asked her to help. Uh, so battle

00:34:26.640 plan. Um, the plan is assemble a massive trans pride flag in the audience.

00:34:35.860 That's the whole plan. So I guess they want to like, by wearing certain colored shirts,

00:34:40.780 they want to make a trans pride flag. And then they, and then I guess I'm going to come out

00:34:44.380 and see the trans pride flag and burst into tears and run off the stage. I think that's what they're 0.99

00:34:52.280 hoping will happen. We'll see. We'll see if it happens. Um, anyway, if you're interested in

00:34:58.900 participating in this, I want to tell you what their, their plan is. So stage one, uh, there's a signup

00:35:03.900 form and a, and a, uh, so there's, you can go to a certain website and you sign up to be a mischief

00:35:08.580 maker because that's the thing about mischief makers. They always have signup forms. You

00:35:12.680 have to sign up to do mischief. Um, uh, stage two, be a mischief maker, show up at 7 PM,

00:35:21.960 put on provided shirt, then return the shirt back to us. Um, stage three, return the shirts.

00:35:31.140 And it mentions again, return the shirt. So they're very, this is the funniest thing about this to me

00:35:36.040 is that they're very clear. They want the shirts back. They need their shirts back. That's the

00:35:40.700 most important thing. That's like stage three, four, and five is make sure you give the damn shirts 0.99

00:35:44.600 back. Um, okay. So that's what they're planning to do. And there is an update that was, this is 0.99

00:35:50.280 just emailed to me. And so I'm looking at it right now on the spot here. Um, and we're being told that

00:35:56.140 they canceled, uh, the, the counter protest is canceled at Illinois. Okay. So this was all a big

00:36:01.820 waste of time. Apparently this is what they sent out. This is what the activists sent out.

00:36:05.520 Dear mischief makers and accomplices. This email is for announcing that, that Thursday's mischief

00:36:10.980 has been officially canceled. Please do not bring t-shirts on Tuesday or show up on Thursday night.

00:36:17.480 The reason behind the prompt cancellation has to do with a serious logistic issues and be

00:36:22.160 safety of participants. How can you have logistic issues when all you're planning to do is sit in the,

00:36:28.000 sit in the audience with, with blue and pink shirts on you have logistic. You can't figure that

00:36:33.720 logistically. I am no logistical genius by any means whatsoever, but I can figure out how to,

00:36:39.180 I'll help you. Okay. You need my help. I'll, we can figure out a way to get everyone the shirts

00:36:44.440 they need for this. Um, what are the logistics? We collected more than 60 responses to show up during

00:36:51.200 the speech. Even though some responses are just random responses, the number of participants is much

00:36:55.340 higher than the t-shirts available, which is less than 10 at the time of writing. So they couldn't get

00:37:00.780 enough t-shirts. You wanted to make a trans pride flag in the audience and you only had 10 shirts.

00:37:05.300 How are you going to make a whole flag with 10 shirts? And then also safety of participants.

00:37:11.200 Some responses in the signup form made us worry about the safety of the participants. We fight

00:37:14.780 and speak up yet safety and mental wellbeing always come first. Uh, so it sounds like my safety was

00:37:20.200 actually being jeopardized. So these are, these are people on your side saying things that make you

00:37:24.120 worried about safety. So isn't they, were they planning to hurt themselves during the speech or were they

00:37:30.080 planned or were they saying things that they're planning to hurt me and you don't want to get

00:37:33.700 in trouble for that? Well, I don't know. But, um, anyway, so they had their big protest and they

00:37:40.420 had to cancel it because they couldn't find enough shirt. You had all this planning and you couldn't

00:37:45.040 come up with pink and blue shirts. Okay. You couldn't just order a pack of them on Amazon. You could

00:37:50.380 order a pack. You can order a pack of them on Amazon for 20 bucks. You get enough pink and blue

00:37:54.220 shirts for everybody. You'd have enough for either. I could wear one. Oh my God.

00:38:00.080 Uh, and then what's happening. Let's see. There's also an update that this is all just sent to me

00:38:04.780 right now. I honestly have not read it. And, uh, so there's an update on the Catholic university.

00:38:09.120 Am I about to find out right now that our event was canceled and I'm here for no reason?

00:38:13.200 Uh, so this email was sent out by the president of the university says, um, as the Catholic

00:38:19.960 university of America, we are often asked to defend or explain our actions in terms of how they stand up

00:38:23.900 to what it means to be a Catholic. As an example, last week, I met with a group of students who asked me

00:38:28.020 to consider censoring or canceling a speaker invited by another group of students whom they

00:38:31.800 believe does not reflect the values we hold as core to our identity as a Catholic university.

00:38:36.220 Uh, here we go. The argument made an impression on me because it came from a sincere desire,

00:38:41.540 which I shared to create on this campus, an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere for all

00:38:45.200 students. The speaker they asserted would make them feel unwelcome and even unsafe.

00:38:48.840 While I do not want any student to feel unwelcome or unsafe, I, okay, I couldn't agree to the request.

00:38:53.960 All right. Well done, sir. Uh, and then he goes on explaining why, uh, after consideration,

00:39:00.780 he's decided not to cancel the event and, uh, but it's pretty long and he's, you know, trying to

00:39:07.460 reason with people and explain that, you know, it's, it's, we want to hear other people's points

00:39:11.880 of view. He doesn't, I don't think he mentions this, uh, to read the whole thing, but, you know,

00:39:17.200 I am Catholic myself and everything, and no, he does not say this. I'm Catholic myself.

00:39:23.900 Everything I say on the topic of gender and sex, all of that is 100% in keeping with Catholic

00:39:32.220 teaching. 100%. It's also in keeping with reality and truth. And, uh, you know, so often all these

00:39:40.800 things line up together, which is the great thing about being Catholic. But anyway, um, you know,

00:39:45.460 that's also something maybe, maybe, maybe it'd be worth mentioning. And I know, I guess I'm supposed

00:39:49.980 to give Peter Kilpatrick credit for not canceling the event, which great, but, but actually I don't

00:39:55.620 give you credit for that at all. I'm not going to thank you for that because, uh, that's what I,

00:40:01.020 that's expected. Okay. To cancel a Catholic speaker on a Catholic campus, who's, who's talking about the

00:40:08.440 reality, uh, and, and of, of, of biological sex, but that would just be unacceptable. And so he is not

00:40:17.940 doing the unacceptable thing, which is okay. Good. All right. Let's see. One other thing that we got.

00:40:26.340 Well, this is important before we get to the comment section. Um, this is from NPR.

00:40:31.320 This is only going to interest me. So we're going to talk about it. Months of suspicion erupted into

00:40:36.400 full throated fury at a professional fishing tournament in Ohio, where two anglers were

00:40:41.280 allegedly caught with egg shaped weights in their catch, an edge of more than seven pounds that

00:40:46.100 would have ensured a lucrative championship. And there's a video apparently of people discovering

00:40:51.440 this very dramatic video. Uh, we're not going to play it, but you can find it online where they're

00:40:55.320 doing the weigh in. And, uh, and then they, someone suspects that there's weights in the fish.

00:40:59.320 They cut the fish open, you know, there's unfortunate for the fish. And so the fish get cut open

00:41:05.060 and they pull the weights out. So they, they actually put lead weights in the fish that they

00:41:09.020 could, um, win when they get to the weigh in. Now, as an avid angler myself, I have to say that

00:41:14.280 I'm totally disgusted and disappointed that I never thought to do this because that's, that's

00:41:19.520 actually pretty smart. It never even occurred to me that you could put weights in the fish's mouth

00:41:24.720 to pump up your stats a little bit. Uh, but it is bad. It's cheating. It brings disgrace

00:41:31.420 to those of us who enjoy sitting around for hours at a time, stabbing hooks through fish's mouths

00:41:37.900 for fun. It makes us even look a little bit weird. Um, which is to me, what I am most angry about.

00:41:46.700 Let's get to the comment section.

00:41:48.340 Do you know their name? They're the sweet baby gang.

00:41:54.200 Dalton says dad and I went squirrel hunting Sunday morning and I had a blast even for a first time

00:42:02.260 other than spending time outdoors with my father and learning firearm safety. I kept in the back of

00:42:06.760 my head, many of our leaders, um, I kept thinking, I guess in the back of my head, many of our leaders

00:42:11.700 would despise my family for doing what we did simply because it has a semblance of toxic masculinity

00:42:16.440 and making our leaders even more upset pleases me to no extent. Well, yeah, it's a, it's a fulfilling,

00:42:23.560 uh, even leaving aside the fact that you're, you're killing those, those innocent, precious squirrels,

00:42:28.980 um, which, which actually in all seriousness, I mean, if you're going to go hunting, that's,

00:42:33.800 that's probably the best hunting you can do because squirrels are, are a menace. Um, but even leaving

00:42:40.240 that aside, the fact that you're spending quality time as a family learning some important life

00:42:46.480 skills. Yeah, that is, uh, that would upset the powers that be in our culture. Um, Berzum, 0.99

00:42:53.220 Berzum II says, I've already reached my quota for gay content. I binged a Netflix series about an

00:42:59.080 iconic LGBTQ figure, Dahmer. Great acting, tight writing, and I suppose a good boost for their 1.00

00:43:05.160 representation. Uh, yeah, that's been one controversy that, you know, we cover a lot of the,

00:43:10.140 the really dumb controversies on this show. And, and there are some that even I can't bring myself

00:43:15.280 to care about even enough to, to, to talk about. Uh, and that's, that's one of them, but it is,

00:43:20.400 it is pretty funny. I mean, I, I have to admit that, so I guess Netflix has this, I don't know if

00:43:27.580 it's a, I guess it's not a documentary. It's a, like a true crime show miniseries about Jeffrey Dahmer,

00:43:33.240 the serial killer. And I have an issue with it because I just don't, uh,

00:43:40.140 maybe there's a certain gene that I lack that other people have that makes them really fascinated

00:43:46.620 by serial killers. And there's this insatiable, uh, thirst that people have to, to consume serial

00:43:54.860 killer content. And I don't quite have it. And I, I especially like a mini series about a serial

00:44:00.360 killer. I don't need to see these people actually are not that interesting, right? Serial killers are,

00:44:05.320 uh, they're sociopaths and they enjoy killing people. I don't, I don't find it. It's, I don't 0.99

00:44:12.780 find it interesting. Like I don't need to spend the idea of spending five, six, seven, eight, nine,

00:44:18.060 10 hours collectively, you know, watching a story like that. I don't quite get it myself, but you know,

00:44:27.680 Netflix especially puts these things out all the time. People love it. Uh, but not in this case,

00:44:32.460 because they represented, you know, Jeffrey Dahmer's is a homosexual and they, I guess that 0.97

00:44:37.240 comes out in the show that he was a homosexual. And apparently Netflix even labeled it at one point,

00:44:43.620 they labeled the Jeffrey Dahmer serial killer show as LGBT content. They had that label. It was under

00:44:49.140 the LGBT category, which is almost funnier than my book, Johnny the Walrus, uh, being labeled an LGBT

00:44:55.800 book. Almost funnier, but not quite. And of course the left got very upset about this. They said,

00:45:00.600 uh, no, we don't want that. This is not LGBT. Well, he was gay, you know, so you want representation. 0.92

00:45:07.540 Oh, we don't want that representation. So you want, you want representation of only the good guys. So

00:45:13.980 you want, that's what you want. You want, well, that's, that's not how it works. Uh, as the straight

00:45:19.580 people, we have good guys, we've got bad guys, we've got them all. And, uh, so if you want,

00:45:24.880 is a two sides to the coin. And if you want representation and film, then you got to take both sides of it.

00:45:29.980 And that means you got to start claiming some of these serial killers too. You got to start taking

00:45:33.180 some of them, some of them off our, our hands. Um, the dirty bubble says, I am very, the dirty

00:45:42.720 bubble. I'm very happy to hear the movie bros has been a commercial failure. YouTube was pushing

00:45:48.900 this film heavily in their advertisements for a few weeks and championing its critic rating as if

00:45:53.960 it's worth a damn. Uh, yeah, that's one of my favorite things about this story also is just the

00:45:58.220 whole thing is great. The whole thing is great. Um, the fact that the movie flopped so spectacularly

00:46:02.860 and I really can't, we talked about it yesterday, but I cannot emphasize enough just how much of a

00:46:07.000 failure this film actually was to make less than $5 million in an opening weekend. They made half a

00:46:12.140 million on opening night. Okay. 500,000 less than 5 million over a whole opening weekend.

00:46:18.020 When you've got all that marketing push behind it and the media is behind it is just a

00:46:22.960 catastrophic failure and it's hilarious. So I love that. Um, I love the fact that, uh, Billy

00:46:31.000 Eichner, the star of the film is just watching him. If you don't have a Twitter account, get a

00:46:35.360 Twitter account this week because the best thing happening on social media this week and probably

00:46:39.700 for this decade is Billy Eichner trying to cope with the fact that nobody wanted to see his gay 0.99

00:46:45.160 sex film. He, he cannot cope with it. He can't deal with it. And he's just lashing out and it gets 0.97

00:46:50.740 more unhinged by the day. It's great. Um, and also when you see how the critics especially are

00:46:58.740 flabbergasted by this because they keep saying, well, we, we said it's good. We told you guys,

00:47:04.120 the movie's good. We told you to go watch it. You didn't watch it. So the media can't understand.

00:47:08.880 It doesn't compute. So if you go to Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has a 300% fresh rating of

00:47:14.300 Rotten Tomatoes. It's the best thing they've ever seen. Right. And yet no one cares. No, no one in the

00:47:20.540 movie going audience cares what the critics say. And so they're trying to cope with that. There's

00:47:24.520 a lot of cope going on and it's just great. Do you want to win a McLaren or $250,000 in cash?

00:47:32.140 I'm talking to all the dads right now. As a father, we all want what's best for our children

00:47:37.080 and their education. Um, well, I would never want my kid to own a McLaren. What is it? Where is this

00:47:42.020 going? Well, I wouldn't want them to have $250,000 either, but that's why we sometimes begrudgingly,

00:47:47.220 but still enthusiastically participate in school fundraisers from buying magazines to baking

00:47:51.880 cookies, to paying a bunch of kids to half wash our vehicles at the team car wash. Well, what if

00:47:57.780 you could spearhead the biggest fundraiser in your school and community history with less effort than

00:48:02.320 a walkathon? Okay. All right. I do agree with this. By now you've likely heard of Jeremy's Razors,

00:48:07.680 the contest for the car where you might become the winner of Jeremy's McLaren. Now short, you could

00:48:12.400 add a 592 horsepower supercar to your school's bus fleet, or you could opt for the $250,000 cash

00:48:19.380 prize instead. You and all the other dads and moms could do a lot of good for your kids with that

00:48:24.640 money just by referring a few non-woke razors. Um, imagine a quarter million dollars to resurface

00:48:30.740 the gym, build a computer room, put up some Friday night lights. Right now, most of the top players in

00:48:35.800 the contest still haven't hit the 10 referrals mark. So the field is wide open for you to win it all.

00:48:40.000 Go to the principal's office, get him, uh, or her involved and head to jeremysrazors.com

00:48:46.740 slash play to get your referral link and get in the game. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:48:56.780 Today for our daily cancellation, we turn to the Guardian, which published an article on Saturday

00:49:00.920 with this title and a subheading, how gay parenthood through surrogacy became a battleground. In New York,

00:49:07.260 a gay couple fighting to make their insurers pay for fertility treatment have found themselves in

00:49:11.720 the middle of a culture war. What happens when the right to parenthood involves someone else's body? 0.65

00:49:18.160 Well, I can answer that question. What happens or what should happen anyway, is that you realize that

00:49:22.460 nobody has a right to parenthood in the first place. The very notion of a right to parenthood is 0.89

00:49:27.060 not only bizarre and unintelligible, but also ripe with all sorts of very dark implications. But

00:49:33.140 something tells me that that's not the answer to the question that we're going to get from this

00:49:36.260 piece. So let's read on. It says, Corey Briskin and Nicholas Magi Pinto met in law school in 2011,

00:49:43.480 were engaged by 2014 and had their 2016 wedding announced in the New York Times.

00:49:47.620 They moved to a waterfront apartment block in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with a bright playroom for

00:49:52.940 families on the ground floor. Quote, we got married and then we wanted all the trappings,

00:49:57.440 house, children, 401k, etc. Magi Pinto 37 tells me in their building shared meeting room,

00:50:03.780 tapping the table in sequence with the progression of each idea. Briskin 33 grew up assuming he'd have

00:50:08.840 children. He came out in college. Quote, once I had come out to myself and others, I don't think

00:50:13.740 my expectation of what my life would look like changed all that much. With marriage equality one 0.93

00:50:18.000 years ago, they expected to be able to have a conventional married life. Yes, the laws changed,

00:50:24.060 which led these two men to assume that they would be able to have a biological child.

00:50:29.560 A change in the law was supposed to also result in a change to fundamental human biology, apparently.

00:50:35.240 That's what they expected. And it didn't turn out that way, tragically for them.

00:50:39.460 Reading again, it says, six months before their wedding, a targeted ad from an organization called

00:50:43.120 Gay Parents to Be landed in Magi Pinto's Instagram feed, offering free consultations with a fertility 0.96

00:50:49.020 doctor who'd give them the whole rundown on how they could start a family. Quote,

00:50:52.400 we had the same appointment and we were 100% on the same page. Let's move forward with this,

00:50:56.520 like Magi Pinto. That's when they first became aware of the eye-watering cost of biological

00:51:01.200 parenthood for gay men. Magi Pinto reels off the price list in a way that only someone who's poured 0.95

00:51:08.580 over every item could. There's compensation for the egg donor, no less than $8,000. The egg donor

00:51:13.960 agency fee, $8,000 to $10,000. The fertility clinics bill, including genetic testing, blood tests,

00:51:19.240 STD screening, and a psychiatric evaluation for all parties. Sperm testing, egg extraction,

00:51:24.220 insemination, the growing, selecting, freezing, and implantation of the resulting embryos,

00:51:28.200 up to $70,000. And that's if it all goes well. If no embryos are created during a cycle,

00:51:33.220 or if the embryos that are don't lead to a successful pregnancy, they would have to start 0.81

00:51:37.340 again. Okay, I feel like I must interject here to correct the record. These are not the costs of

00:51:44.620 biological parenthood for gay men, as though they're some sort of special upcharge based on your 0.56

00:51:49.780 sexual orientation. These are the costs of trying to usurp and evade nature during the child 1.00

00:51:55.720 conception process. For two men, the costs are even steeper because they not only must conceive

00:52:02.220 a child in a petri dish, but they also must rent a woman's womb, literally purchasing her body to be 1.00

00:52:07.920 used as property. And along with being a morally horrific practice, it's also very expensive.

00:52:14.380 So the expense is the only thing that mattered to these two narcissists. They don't appear to have

00:52:18.020 stopped to consider the ethical implications at all. It continues, then there's the cost of a

00:52:22.920 surrogate called a gestational carrier when they carry embryos created for another woman's eggs.

00:52:29.460 Magi Pinto and Briskin were told agency fees alone could stretch to $25,000 and the surrogates

00:52:34.040 themselves could be paid a minimum of $60,000. It takes 15 minutes for Magi Pinto to run me through

00:52:40.280 all the expenses they could incur if they tried to have a child genetically related to one of them.

00:52:45.300 The bottom line, $200,000 minimum, he says, tapping his index finger on the table with each word in

00:52:51.940 disbelief. They couldn't afford it. Magi Pinto earns a corporate lawyer's salary, but is saddled with student

00:52:56.860 debt. Briskin used to work for the city of New York as an assistant district attorney earning about

00:53:00.800 $75,000 a year. Okay. Yes. Who could find a more oppressed victim group than two gay lawyers in New 0.86

00:53:09.940 York? Well, I mean, literally anyone could find a more oppressed victim group. I cannot think of a 0.94

00:53:15.300 group less oppressed than gay lawyers in New York. But don't worry. They are working to rectify this 0.97

00:53:23.680 injustice. They're suing the city of New York so that their IVF and surrogacy will be covered under

00:53:29.080 the city's health insurance plan. In other words, they want to create a baby and purchase a woman's 0.99

00:53:35.040 womb and they want the taxpayers to fund it. As one of them says in a line quoted in the headline of

00:53:40.540 the article, they can't be expected to be okay with not having children. Even though they are two men

00:53:48.180 and they literally cannot have children together, not by my decree or by the law, but by the decree of

00:53:54.860 nature, they still shouldn't be expected to be okay with it, they say. It's the duty of the taxpayer or

00:54:02.680 the insurance companies to subsidize whatever elaborate morally problematic workaround they

00:54:07.460 can devise. That's their position. And it's completely absurd, of course. Now, commercial

00:54:13.220 surrogacy to begin with is a barbarous practice, which is why it's illegal in many countries across

00:54:19.640 the Western world, except in the United States, of course. That's one thing I think people don't

00:54:23.740 often realize or appreciate, is that so often our laws are far more leftist and liberal than Europe.

00:54:31.080 I mean, we tend to think of Europe as the kind of farther along on the left-wing crazy train.

00:54:36.480 And maybe in some ways, culturally, they are. But when it comes to laws, abortion laws, another one,

00:54:41.420 their laws are much more conservative than ours.

00:54:43.560 So, in many countries, for-profit commercial surrogacy is illegal. And even not-for-profit

00:54:51.620 surrogacy, what they call, quote, altruistic surrogacy, is also banned in many countries,

00:54:57.020 including Germany, Portugal, Italy, Spain. Why? Well, because surrogacy is a moral crime against 0.87

00:55:04.100 both women and children. The woman is rented. Her actual body, her reproductive capacity, 1.00

00:55:10.240 is put under contract. It's purchased for temporary use, like an Airbnb. It is dehumanizing,

00:55:17.520 even if the woman is paid for it. In fact, especially if she's paid for it, it's dehumanizing. 1.00

00:55:24.400 And in most cases, such as would be the case with the two oppressed gay New York lawyers, 0.74

00:55:29.440 a second woman's body is also auctioned off as she has to provide the eggs to conceive the child,

00:55:34.660 who's then, and then that's implanted into the rented womb of another.

00:55:38.340 The two men who wish to have biological children have almost nothing to do with the process,

00:55:44.620 except to provide the sperm for the petri dish. And it should be noted that only one man provides

00:55:50.900 the sperm, so that even after all this effort, still the male couple will not have a biological

00:55:56.340 child. So this whole thing is about gay couples who want to have biological children. They still 1.00

00:56:00.820 can't. They can't. One member of the couple will have a biological child, while some other woman 1.00

00:56:06.520 who neither of them know and who the child will never know is the other person who creates the

00:56:13.020 child. And that brings us to the child, who you may have noticed never factors into the calculation

00:56:20.320 at all. The two dudes talk about me, I, we, us, me, me, me, me, me. But they never at any point

00:56:26.560 mention the well-being of the child who they're trying to conceive. The child who will forever

00:56:32.380 be deprived of knowing his mother. He will never know the woman who gave him life. He will never

00:56:37.440 know the woman who harbored him in her womb and birthed him. He will only know the men who bought

00:56:42.940 him. The men who they believe have a right to him. And that's exactly why there is no right to

00:56:50.120 parenthood and never can be. What kind of confused world do we live in when society does not recognize

00:56:55.800 a parent's right to raise their own children that they actually conceived, but it does recognize

00:57:00.880 a gay couple's right to conceive children in the first place? Such a right cannot exist. Rights, 1.00

00:57:07.300 okay, if they mean anything, human rights must be natural, ingrained in our human nature. You cannot

00:57:14.940 have a right over and above and against nature. You cannot make a rights claim against nature. So two

00:57:22.220 men claiming that they have a right to conceive, it's like two men claiming they have a right to 0.78

00:57:25.780 breathe underwater like a fish. And with technological assistance, you can breathe underwater, not exactly

00:57:31.500 like a fish, but you can get by underwater for a time, a pale imitation, but it may be enough to get

00:57:39.520 the job done. Yet it doesn't make any sense to say that you have a right to do it. Our rights are not a

00:57:46.560 list of all the things that we can physically do with or without technology. The main reason you

00:57:52.380 can't have a right to parenthood is that parenthood requires the participation of other people. And in

00:57:58.860 the case of two gay men, it requires a whole army of other people, a whole battalion, doctors and 0.99

00:58:05.260 scientists and multiple women willing to sell parts of their bodies and agencies and everything else. 1.00

00:58:10.760 To say they have a right to parenthood is to say that all of these other people are obliged 0.99

00:58:15.320 to provide them with their parenthood opportunity. It is to, in a sense, morally conscript these other 0.94

00:58:24.440 parties to give you what nature would not. Your right becomes an obligation for others. Your right,

00:58:31.420 in other words, becomes the removal of rights for others. Imagine if a gay couple couldn't find a 0.78

00:58:39.080 woman willing to rent out her womb or sell her eggs. If the couple has a right to parenthood, 1.00

00:58:46.200 then it must be said that these women are infringing on the couple's right by not providing 1.00

00:58:50.200 their bodies for usage. These two men are literally declaring that they have a right to a woman's body.

00:58:58.360 Because that's what it means. As a gay man, if you're saying you have a right to biological

00:59:01.260 parenthood, you are saying you have a right to a woman's body, which is exactly the sort of thing that 1.00

00:59:06.680 the left is always screaming about. Only in this case, it's actually happening. And the people who

00:59:11.940 scream about it are silent or else cheering it along, which is hypocrisy in the extreme.

00:59:19.640 Par for the course. But we still must say that Corey Briskin, Nicholas Magi Pinto, the oppressed

00:59:26.920 gay lawyers from New York, only to add to their oppression today, are canceled. And that will do 0.96

00:59:34.040 it for us today. We move over to the members' block. I hope to see you there. If not, talk to you

00:59:39.240 tomorrow, or I'll see you at Catholic University tonight. Godspeed.
