The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1038 - Jon Stewart Transitions Into A Blue Haired Trans Activist

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Jon Stewart allegedly delivers the definitive smackdown to conservative bigots who believe that men are men and women are women.

00:00:08.060 Today, we'll take a look at the viral clips from this much celebrated segment and show just how easily and thoroughly it can all be debunked.

00:00:15.120 Also, we achieve a major victory as Vanderbilt announces that it will be pausing all gender transition procedures on minors.

00:00:21.400 Well, a lot to say about that.

00:00:22.420 And the Biden administration decides it must remind parents across the country that your sons and your family names can be ended any time they feel like.

00:00:30.980 And in our daily cancellation, a Christian pastor explains his problem with what is a woman, namely that I'm in it.

00:00:37.820 All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:50.960 Well, last week was, you might say, eventful.

00:01:54.400 It began with three major medical organizations calling for the prosecution of high-profile social media personalities who have been reporting on and criticizing so-called gender-affirming care.

00:02:04.540 Having extremely well-funded and powerful medical associations not so subtly single me out and call for my arrest would have been enough activity for one week, as far as I'm concerned.

00:02:15.420 But the very next day, Media Matters launched their most extensive hit piece against me yet in a transparent attempt to derail our campaign against gender ideology.

00:02:24.780 And while this was all going on, we were also in the first week of our What is a Woman college tour, where throngs of protesters complained that my presence was destabilizing their existence

00:02:33.660 and responded by defiantly singing Bohemian Rhapsody in a vocal performance that resembled the sound of 7,000 chickens choking to death all at once.

00:02:43.000 And then came the big win on Friday, the capstone to all of these events.

00:02:47.900 At the end of a week where I think our enemies thought that they'd landed a knockout blow,

00:02:53.680 it was announced by Vanderbilt in a letter to state lawmakers that they would be pausing all gender transition procedures on minors.

00:03:02.180 So they caved, they surrendered.

00:03:05.460 For perhaps the first time in recent memory, anyway, a left-wing institution caved to pressure from the right.

00:03:14.680 Very rarely does that happen, but we beat them.

00:03:17.860 Battle's not close to over.

00:03:19.100 The fight continues, of course, as we now move on to make gender transitions on minors illegal across the entire state,

00:03:26.300 and then we move across the entire country.

00:03:28.200 But this was a major victory.

00:03:30.160 And I think perhaps in some ways unprecedented.

00:03:34.240 And we'll have much more to say about it in a few minutes, but the week was not over with the Vanderbilt News.

00:03:39.980 That night, Jon Stewart opened the second season of his Apple TV show.

00:03:46.000 Even though nobody watched the first season, he got a second season anyway.

00:03:50.420 A little bit more of that left-wing privilege that he's benefiting from.

00:03:53.400 Most people didn't even know that the first season happened, but it did.

00:03:57.480 Season 2, Episode 1 comes along and focuses on the topic of gender.

00:04:02.820 It is, in effect, Jon Stewart's response to our documentary, What is a Woman?, and even features a brief clip of the film. 0.99

00:04:10.220 The left has hailed this episode as the ultimate takedown of the conservative conspiracy theory that women don't have penises. 0.99

00:04:20.320 This is the, it just demolishes all of us, we're told. 0.98

00:04:24.040 So to begin the show today, we're going to go through what are being celebrated as the most compelling and persuasive moments from this episode.

00:04:32.280 And we will show that Jon Stewart is a shallow, spineless, left-wing hack who has long had the reputation as a free thinker and a sort of bold, comedic mind,

00:04:42.480 even though he has always simply adopted the mainstream corporate position on literally every topic.

00:04:50.320 And that's what he's done now on gender.

00:04:52.700 So we start with a clip shared by the show's Twitter account, and the caption of this clip on their Twitter account was,

00:04:58.620 What is a woman? It's a question that suddenly is everywhere. 0.99

00:05:01.740 It turns out, the answer is complicated.

00:05:04.460 Jon breaks down the gender binary and gender spectrum in this week's episode.

00:05:09.940 We are in a new dawn of gender and sex complexity, where those who don't fit into a simple binary are meant to be seen with humanity.

00:05:21.520 It wasn't always like this, people.

00:05:23.040 As recently as, let's say, the 1990s, early 2000s, people were making reductive jokes about the subject.

00:05:31.740 What can I say? The joke rhymed.

00:05:37.900 It would be sad to see Jon Stewart apologizing for his past jokes, disavowing his previous belief that men can't have babies,

00:05:48.500 and groveling for acceptance from a bunch of purple-haired 22-year-olds. 0.99

00:05:52.040 But you must realize that Jon Stewart has always been a pathetic fraud. 0.99

00:05:56.460 This is fully in keeping with his brand. 0.99

00:05:58.340 It's still a sickening, stomach-churning display of self-debasement, as revolting and perverse as watching someone eat themselves on camera.

00:06:08.100 But it's exactly what you ought to expect from a lifelong shill. 0.92

00:06:12.560 Let's continue.

00:06:13.560 Any moment of progressive visibility will be met with a vicious backlash.

00:06:20.620 There are two genders.

00:06:21.960 There are two genders, and everyone knows it. 1.00

00:06:23.640 Ain't but two genders. 1.00

00:06:29.900 That last guy sounded like it's an emergency, and we're running out of genders. 1.00

00:06:34.720 Everyone, there ain't but two genders. 1.00

00:06:37.120 So here you see the attempt to make a completely self-evident and obvious statement seem absurd.

00:06:47.580 The audience, with the enhancement of a laugh track, giggles at the statement that there are only two genders. 0.94

00:06:54.820 Like, this is the move.

00:06:55.620 If you just laugh at something, then that automatically makes it laughable,

00:06:59.360 expecting us to believe that the claim is funny just because they're laughing at it.

00:07:03.300 But they can't make this objectively correct statement funny by laughing about it any more

00:07:08.400 than they can make a statement like, the world is round, or Jon Stewart is a gutless, smirking slug funny by laughing about it.

00:07:16.860 These are all just simply objective, self-evident observations about the physical world.

00:07:21.820 It's really not funny at all, but let's continue along.

00:07:25.760 The point is clear.

00:07:27.780 The human race is defined by a simple binary, a black-and-white understanding.

00:07:32.600 There are men, and there are women, and never the twain shall meet. 0.94

00:07:39.160 Trump is an alpha male.

00:07:40.760 Well, okay, yes, there are obviously men who are more man than other men, but that's an aberration.

00:07:48.700 Beta, gamma.

00:07:50.340 Okay, there's an entire Greek alphabet, a continuum of masculinity, but that doesn't mean...

00:07:56.320 Cuck.

00:07:56.780 Pajama boy.

00:07:57.620 Soy boy.

00:07:58.380 Girly man.

00:07:59.100 I hope the children are out of the room.

00:08:10.780 Clearly, masculinity appears to be on a dimmer, not an on-off switch, but ladies are different. 1.00

00:08:17.240 I was a big-time boy. 0.83

00:08:18.440 These purple-haired, angry freaks. 1.00

00:08:20.340 Rabid feminist. 1.00

00:08:21.260 Cat lady. 1.00

00:08:21.940 High-rolling bimbos. 1.00

00:08:23.760 Pretty girly girl.

00:08:24.540 My God.

00:08:29.560 What a cruise line buffet of the gradients in American gender expression. 1.00

00:08:35.500 Turns out there's a lot of non-binary sh** happening between the binaries. 1.00

00:08:40.440 This is John's whole shtick, by the way.

00:08:45.220 It just, it goes back to The Daily Show.

00:08:47.660 Just play a clip of someone saying something normal and then mug for the camera like it's,

00:08:52.240 you know, an episode of The Office.

00:08:53.860 Just, someone says something normal and you look at the camera like...

00:08:56.460 And then that's the joke.

00:08:57.880 It's like, automatically, that thing is now funny.

00:09:00.780 But these are all just descriptions of personality traits.

00:09:04.460 And most of them are labels used to describe the same sorts of people.

00:09:09.980 So, how does this at all, even slightly, call into question the existence of the man-woman binary?

00:09:18.260 Nobody ever said, John, that every man is exactly the same as every other man or that every woman is the same as every other woman.

00:09:25.540 Squares can also come in many different shapes and colors and, or rather, many different sizes and colors.

00:09:30.640 Not shapes, that's the point.

00:09:31.640 Now, a square is still a square.

00:09:33.620 So, you can color a different color.

00:09:34.920 You can have a big square, a little square.

00:09:37.080 There are lots of different ways you can describe squares, depending on how you decorate them.

00:09:40.960 But a square is still a square.

00:09:42.900 You could do a lot of interesting things with a square.

00:09:45.320 But you can't make it a circle, is the point.

00:09:48.740 So, is that really the best that Stuart can do?

00:09:51.820 Just, like, pointing out that there are different personality traits, different ways that you can describe individual men,

00:09:57.960 different insults you can use against individual women? 0.94

00:10:00.540 That's what, is that it?

00:10:02.000 Is that all you have?

00:10:03.720 Is that what the left considers some kind of definitive smackdown of the gender binary?

00:10:08.540 Surely he must have more in his arsenal.

00:10:12.180 I mean, he doesn't, of course, but we'll keep watching anyway.

00:10:14.240 That hasn't stopped the traditionalists from deploying their newest weapon in the culture war arsenal. 0.75

00:10:22.400 The obvious gotcha question.

00:10:24.780 The real basic question.

00:10:26.240 What is a woman? 1.00

00:10:28.120 Can you provide a definition for the word woman?

00:10:31.540 For all of recorded history, people have known what a woman is. 0.86

00:10:35.060 Yes, yes, all of recorded history.

00:10:38.960 It was simple until, like, a year ago.

00:10:42.420 The answer to what is a woman has always been the same. 0.99

00:10:44.940 It's a woman is a deformity that occurred in the ordinary course of nature. 1.00

00:10:49.540 I'm sorry, that's, that's Aristotle.

00:10:56.460 I apologize.

00:10:57.100 That's, I'm sorry, that's not what I meant.

00:10:59.700 I meant a woman is a person who has no legal existence once married. 1.00

00:11:04.700 That's, I'm sorry, that's, that's early American coverture law.

00:11:09.300 That's, that's not right.

00:11:11.360 No, the, throughout history, it's not a gotcha question.

00:11:15.260 A woman is 30 shekels. 1.00

00:11:17.940 That's, I'm sorry.

00:11:20.900 I'm sorry, that's Leviticus.

00:11:25.280 Yes, John, those are different things that different people and institutions have said about women over the course of history.

00:11:34.000 But what is your point?

00:11:36.200 Aristotle and the author of Leviticus and everyone else that you might name from ancient history

00:11:41.900 all agreed on what a woman is fundamentally and physically.

00:11:46.480 They all agreed that a woman can be defined because if they didn't,

00:11:50.380 then they couldn't have said anything about women in the first place.

00:11:54.760 So, see, John, that's what you're not, you're not understanding.

00:11:56.960 You can't even talk about them.

00:11:59.140 You can't say anything about them at all unless there's some shared understanding of what this entity is.

00:12:07.740 What you're proving is that over history, people have had different ideas about the legal standing of women,

00:12:16.200 about their place in society, and so on and so on.

00:12:19.660 But you haven't proved that there was ever, at any time, ever in history, ever, until just now,

00:12:27.120 even the slightest disagreement on the definition of the word.

00:12:32.260 No, indeed, you've proven the opposite, if anything.

00:12:35.320 I mean, there are people who would say different things about Jon Stewart.

00:12:40.840 Some people would say he's a comedic genius. 0.98

00:12:43.360 On the other hand, people with functioning brains say that he's a bland, boring chump, desperate for approval. 0.97

00:12:49.440 These are all adjectives, some of them more accurate than others. 0.94

00:12:53.340 They don't make Jon Stewart into some kind of abstract, undefinable entity

00:12:58.140 whose very objective existence is now up for debate.

00:13:02.480 But Stewart isn't done here.

00:13:03.820 He also interviews Leslie Rutledge, who's the Arkansas Attorney General

00:13:07.900 and a great American who's helped to spearhead the efforts in her state to make it illegal to sexually mutilate children. 0.52

00:13:14.820 Yet, not every great American is necessarily equipped to successfully respond to a partisan hack like Stewart

00:13:21.740 while the cameras are rolling.

00:13:23.900 Okay?

00:13:24.420 Not everyone is going to be good in that context.

00:13:26.800 And unfortunately, it doesn't seem like Rutledge really is, which is exactly why she was chosen for this segment. 0.64

00:13:33.880 But let's watch a little bit of this.

00:13:35.800 Why would the state of Arkansas step in to override parents, physicians, psychiatrists, endocrinologists who have developed guidelines?

00:13:51.580 Why would you override those guidelines?

00:13:54.740 Well, I think it's important that all of those physicians, all of those experts, for every single one of them,

00:14:00.580 there's an expert that says we don't need to allow children to be able to take those medications.

00:14:07.380 That there are many instances where...

00:14:09.660 Right.

00:14:10.240 But you know that's not true.

00:14:12.000 You know it's not for every one there's one.

00:14:14.920 These are the established medical...

00:14:16.620 Well, I don't know that that's not true.

00:14:18.520 I don't know that...

00:14:19.120 Then why would you pass a law then if you don't know that that's true?

00:14:23.380 Wouldn't you have done so?

00:14:23.700 Well, I know that there are doctors and that we had plenty of people come and testify before our legislature

00:14:28.320 who said that, you know, we have 98% of the young people who have gender dysphoria, that they are able to move past that.

00:14:39.880 And once they have the help that they need, no longer suffer from gender dysphoria.

00:14:44.420 98% without that medical treatment.

00:14:48.020 That's an incredibly made-up figure.

00:14:50.420 That doesn't comport with any of the studies or documentation that exists from these medical organizations.

00:14:58.780 What medical association are you talking about of these doctors?

00:15:02.380 Well, we have all of that in our legislative history and we'll be glad to provide that to you.

00:15:10.180 Okay.

00:15:11.360 Jon Stewart was, of course, extremely careful about which conservative he invited to speak to him about this issue.

00:15:17.060 I don't think I'm inflating myself in any respect by saying that I am primarily the one who's brought the

00:15:25.540 what-is-a-woman question to the forefront, and yet Stewart didn't reach out to me for an interview.

00:15:30.280 If he had, I would have eagerly accepted.

00:15:32.660 And here's how I would have responded.

00:15:35.400 Instead of making the mistake of getting into a credentialism contest, as Rutledge does here,

00:15:41.220 takes the bait, once you do that, it's over.

00:15:43.940 Okay, that's all this conversation is now.

00:15:47.260 I would have said something like this.

00:15:50.240 Jon, you're coming out of the gate with appeals to authority because you don't have any thoughts of your own.

00:15:55.840 That's the first problem.

00:15:57.420 There was a time when a similar appeal to authority could have been used to prove that the earth is the center of the universe

00:16:02.900 or that bloodletting is the cure for every known disease.

00:16:06.600 Okay, there was a time when every medical expert in the world would have told you that

00:16:09.840 if you want to cure any disease, cut yourself open and bleed it out. 0.97

00:16:12.880 In this case, your brainless appeals to authority are even more asinine because the authorities you mention all have an obvious financial stake in the very medical practices you're seeking to justify. 0.97

00:16:25.320 So what you're telling me is that people who make millions of dollars mutilating kids all say it's a good idea to mutilate kids. 0.96

00:16:33.400 Wow, breaking news.

00:16:35.280 The tobacco industry also has funded studies showing that smoking isn't so bad for you.

00:16:40.180 Will you be citing those on your next show, Jon?

00:16:42.300 But this is all beside the point.

00:16:45.440 The burden of proof is not on me to explain to you why we shouldn't castrate and sterilize children. 0.75

00:16:52.400 You guys are the ones coming along out of nowhere demanding that we start engaging in those kinds of horrific practices.

00:16:57.120 So you tell me what your evidence is.

00:16:59.660 What studies are you talking about?

00:17:00.920 Tell me, Jon, which credible long-term studies prove that it's a good idea to castrate and mutilate kids?

00:17:06.780 Which ones?

00:17:08.000 Which ones?

00:17:08.700 Here, I'll help you.

00:17:09.680 There are none.

00:17:10.620 They don't exist.

00:17:12.220 These medical institutions don't have studies to support their practices.

00:17:15.780 Our kids are the study.

00:17:18.100 This current generation is the guinea pig, the lab rats. 0.89

00:17:21.880 That's the part you're leaving out, you sycophantic gas bag.

00:17:26.460 Now, I'd like to tell you that this conversation progresses from here, but it really doesn't.

00:17:29.820 Stewart spends the entire interview obsessing over the guidelines of medical organizations.

00:17:34.280 That's the only thing they talk about.

00:17:35.840 They say, well, this organization said that we should do it, so we should.

00:17:40.180 That's literally all he has.

00:17:42.800 That's it. 0.89

00:17:43.860 His whole case comes down to, these people said we should castrate kids.

00:17:49.560 Which people?

00:17:50.800 Well, the people who make billions of dollars doing it.

00:17:53.620 Oh, great.

00:17:55.900 Good to know.

00:17:57.400 He also lies, of course, and misrepresents the data.

00:17:59.640 Let's check that out.

00:18:00.340 I've got some bad news for you.

00:18:04.020 Parents with children who have gender dysphoria have lost children to suicide and depression.

00:18:11.720 They absolutely have.

00:18:12.440 Because it's acute.

00:18:13.140 And so these mainstream medical organizations have developed guidelines through peer-reviewed data and studies.

00:18:23.400 And through those guidelines, they've improved mental health outcomes.

00:18:28.260 What data is that, John?

00:18:32.380 What are you talking about?

00:18:33.340 You're saying that there is data showing that a child's long-term mental health is improved by castrating and sterilizing and mutilating him?

00:18:40.420 Which data exactly is that?

00:18:42.400 Where is that data?

00:18:43.680 Can you cite it?

00:18:45.620 See, Rutledge, unfortunately, never flips it around on him.

00:18:48.360 He's very lucky that she never thinks to say, what are you talking about?

00:18:51.700 Can you show me?

00:18:53.880 What are you talking about?

00:18:55.220 Can you provide an example?

00:18:56.920 Can you say anything about it other than insisting that it exists?

00:19:00.320 No, you can't because it doesn't exist.

00:19:03.800 It never has existed, and it never will.

00:19:06.260 You're lying.

00:19:07.860 And fortunately for you, your guests didn't call you out on that.

00:19:11.300 But I will.

00:19:12.580 And I'd do it to your face if you had the courage to sit down with someone who won't be so easily railroaded.

00:19:18.460 But in some ways, I'm grateful for the Jon Stewart episode.

00:19:21.860 He's grateful for it because it's the first time anyone has paid attention to him in like eight years.

00:19:25.980 I'm grateful because it's being heralded as the best defense of gender ideology ever put to film.

00:19:33.240 And yet it's laughably weak and can be dismantled with almost no effort at all.

00:19:40.280 And that really tells you everything you need to know about gender ideology and about Jon Stewart.

00:19:46.900 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:19:48.200 All right, I would be remiss if I didn't just start off on our five headlines with the biggest headline of the day,

00:19:59.780 which is that it's Columbus Day.

00:20:01.460 And happy Columbus Day to everybody who is watching and who celebrates.

00:20:05.520 And hopefully that is everyone who celebrates Columbus Day.

00:20:08.020 Because despite what you have heard and we continue to hear every single year on this day,

00:20:14.820 that, oh, we're not going to celebrate Columbus Day, we're going to celebrate Indigenous People's Day.

00:20:17.700 Despite anything that you've heard, Columbus was one of the most consequential figures in all of history,

00:20:25.500 especially in all of Western history.

00:20:28.080 And all of our lives would be dramatically different for the worse if Columbus never –

00:20:37.000 in fact, we might not even exist, a lot of us.

00:20:39.540 It's one of those things, like one of those people that you go back in time and remove him from the equation,

00:20:45.200 you've just rewritten everything that happens after it.

00:20:48.940 So who knows what would happen from there?

00:20:52.740 But a great man who accomplished extraordinary feats of courage

00:20:58.840 and whose contributions to history have stood the test of time.

00:21:04.580 And yet, of course, as with so many other historical figures,

00:21:09.840 his statues are being torn down, his monuments are being defaced,

00:21:13.060 his name's being taken off of buildings and off of holidays,

00:21:17.080 and he's being posthumously – his whole life is being posthumously relitigated,

00:21:23.480 and he's being convicted of all these crimes long after he's dead. 0.99

00:21:26.560 And all of this is happening on the part of people who are pathetic 0.98

00:21:32.200 and who have had no impact on history and won't. 0.99

00:21:36.940 I mean, whose lives will be instantly forgotten the moment that they die.

00:21:41.600 And yet they feel like they're in a place to cast judgment

00:21:44.680 on one of the most significant men of history.

00:21:46.880 He's one of the most significant men.

00:21:48.680 You're nothing.

00:21:49.820 You're not contributing anything to the world at all.

00:21:54.000 He helped to reshape it.

00:21:56.640 And so that should be reason enough to humble yourself

00:21:59.220 and honor the greater people who came before you

00:22:04.160 and who established this civilization that you live in

00:22:07.840 and that you are happy to live in despite what you may claim.

00:22:12.420 You live in modern Western society, and you are happy that you do

00:22:15.960 because if you weren't, you'd go somewhere else.

00:22:18.000 But you don't.

00:22:18.860 You stay here.

00:22:19.380 You stay here, and you complain about and whine about

00:22:22.660 all of the better people who came before you

00:22:24.980 and gave you all of the things that you take for granted today. 1.00

00:22:28.900 That makes you a whiny, insignificant brat. 0.96

00:22:33.260 But for everybody else, happy Columbus Day. 0.98

00:22:35.860 All right.

00:22:36.220 Now, for more on the story mentioned at the top of the show,

00:22:39.300 the Vanderbilt Pediatric Gender Clinic has agreed

00:22:41.340 to pause all gender transition surgeries on minors,

00:22:45.040 according to a letter from the clinic to a Tennessee lawmaker

00:22:47.720 obtained by the Daily Wire.

00:22:48.600 Vanderbilt also told the lawmakers that it would protect

00:22:50.400 conscientious objectors who worked at the facility

00:22:52.780 and don't want to take part in the controversial treatments.

00:22:56.960 They said, we are pausing gender affirmation surgeries

00:22:59.820 on patients under 18 while we complete this review,

00:23:02.280 which may take several months.

00:23:04.200 The clinic says they've done about five such gender-affirming

00:23:07.380 surgical procedures per year, which I don't believe.

00:23:12.140 But this is what they're claiming.

00:23:13.460 Since they opened in 2018, the letter addressed to,

00:23:16.280 I don't believe because I think it's much more than that,

00:23:20.100 to be clear.

00:23:20.940 The letter addressed to Republican State Representative Jason

00:23:23.540 Zachary was written by C. Wright Pinson,

00:23:26.840 the deputy CEO and chief health system officer

00:23:29.120 at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

00:23:30.380 Pinson said that parental consent had been given in each case

00:23:34.020 for the surgery and that no general procedures had been done,

00:23:36.960 but they're going to stop doing that.

00:23:38.380 But here's the best part.

00:23:39.340 Okay.

00:23:39.480 Well, the best part is that they're pausing the procedures

00:23:41.460 and that is going to really, in real time, save kids,

00:23:47.400 at least buy them some time from being mutilated in this way.

00:23:53.420 So that's the best part.

00:23:54.400 This part's also good.

00:23:56.580 Continuing with the article,

00:23:57.300 says Pinson also said that the clinic complied with existing Tennessee law

00:24:01.940 and would comply with any potential legislation that the legislature may pass.

00:24:06.040 He wrote,

00:24:07.380 In addition, we understand this issue is likely to be taken up

00:24:09.540 by the General Assembly in its next legislative session.

00:24:12.000 As always, we will assure that VUMC's programs comply with any new requirement

00:24:16.640 which may be established as part of Tennessee law.

00:24:21.440 So they're waving the white flag on the legislative fight

00:24:24.400 before it even really begins.

00:24:26.400 Now, you might say,

00:24:27.160 well, all they're doing is saying they're going to comply with the law.

00:24:29.260 What else are they going to say?

00:24:29.920 They're not going to announce ahead of time

00:24:30.840 that they're not going to comply with the law.

00:24:32.760 Well, in fact, they could announce that.

00:24:33.960 I mean, they could come out and say,

00:24:35.120 well, this is, we're putting our foot down.

00:24:36.700 We're not going to go along with this.

00:24:38.620 But they also, one way or another,

00:24:40.520 they didn't need to make a point in the letter of saying,

00:24:43.220 oh yeah, we heard about the fact that you're going to try to make this illegal

00:24:45.700 and we'll go along with it.

00:24:48.300 I certainly read that, I think, within reason as

00:24:51.220 waving the white flag and saying they're not going to fight it.

00:24:56.840 They are surrendering.

00:24:58.020 So again, this represents an occasion,

00:25:02.160 one of the very few occasions where a left-wing institution caves to pressure from the right.

00:25:10.220 I can't remember the last time that's happened.

00:25:13.780 It almost always happens the other way.

00:25:15.400 Institutions cave to pressure from the left.

00:25:17.120 And especially conservative institutions, what few exist,

00:25:22.620 generally also cave to pressure from the left.

00:25:26.500 But it's not an accident that it happened.

00:25:29.580 Okay, we didn't just, like, get lucky in this case.

00:25:32.840 We engineered this.

00:25:34.780 We made it happen.

00:25:35.980 It's all strategic.

00:25:37.500 How do we do it?

00:25:38.120 Well, utilizing a multi-pronged approach.

00:25:40.920 First was the public pressure.

00:25:43.160 Okay?

00:25:43.780 And that involves alerting the public, making them aware.

00:25:48.720 And also, you know, there are many different ways to make people aware that something's happening.

00:25:52.840 You can just say, oh, this is happening.

00:25:55.140 But to really capture people, you need to sort of tell the story of what you want them to know

00:26:01.080 in a way that resonates and makes sense.

00:26:03.860 That's another thing that I think oftentimes the right, we fail in that regard.

00:26:07.200 We kind of like to just take a bullet point approach.

00:26:11.360 Here's what happened.

00:26:11.940 Here's what's happening.

00:26:12.660 Boom, boom, boom.

00:26:14.040 Doesn't resonate.

00:26:15.000 People just, it doesn't, it doesn't capture people.

00:26:17.500 So the first thing is to make, is to make people aware, to capture them.

00:26:22.020 And then we work with lawmakers to generate political pressure.

00:26:24.800 And, and these two together create financial pressure.

00:26:27.420 You got public pressure, political pressure.

00:26:28.900 Now you also have financial pressure because donors and supporters of Vanderbilt

00:26:32.600 threaten you to pull their funds and all the rest of it.

00:26:34.400 So now, now you've got public, political, financial attack from all angles, back them

00:26:41.180 into a corner.

00:26:42.760 You don't wait for them to do the right thing.

00:26:44.740 You don't just hope that they'll have a change of heart.

00:26:47.440 You force them, leave them no option.

00:26:50.760 And that's what happened here.

00:26:52.540 Now, I think it's important to celebrate a victory when it happens.

00:26:55.460 And I, and I do believe again, this is a significant victory.

00:26:57.920 It's not over though.

00:27:01.060 What we can't do, the mistake we can't make is to say, well, well, we won that.

00:27:05.260 Let's just move on to the next thing.

00:27:07.680 No, because it's still legal to do in Tennessee.

00:27:10.120 There are still other, now this might be the big sort of gender clinic in Tennessee, 1.00

00:27:14.560 but there are other medical clinics that perform these kinds of procedures.

00:27:18.200 There's, there are plastic surgeons that perform double mastectomies on minors, 0.99

00:27:21.060 even, even ones in Nashville who aren't directly connected with, with Vanderbilt.

00:27:24.820 So the fight certainly continues and which is why it's all the more important now.

00:27:30.460 If you are able to come out on October 21st here in Nashville, 4 PM, we're going to have our rally.

00:27:38.120 We're still having our rally, even more important than ever to show up and speak out against us.

00:27:43.280 So we hope, we hope to see you there.

00:27:45.120 All right, look at this tweet from the selective service.

00:27:47.400 This is, I don't even know exactly how to process this, but this is real.

00:27:52.860 Okay, this is from the government.

00:27:56.120 Very real.

00:27:57.280 It says, parents, if your son is an only son and the last male in your family to carry the family name,

00:28:04.460 he is still required to register with SSS.

00:28:08.060 Learn more about who needs to register at SSS.gov.

00:28:12.400 What?

00:28:13.740 Now, here's the translation. 1.00

00:28:14.680 Parents, we may kill your son and end your bloodline and your family name for the sake of defending some irrelevant pile of sand 1.00

00:28:21.740 in some godforsaken corner of the globe that holds no worth to you or your family whatsoever, 1.00

00:28:26.280 but that's just what we're going to do.

00:28:29.860 Now, it's hard to understand why they would even say something like this.

00:28:33.900 Now, yeah, it's true that there is no provision in the law that says that you don't have to register your son

00:28:38.740 if he's the last male in your family.

00:28:41.300 So, yes, technically accurate, but why would you come out and say that?

00:28:46.980 Like, why?

00:28:47.660 And it seems confusing until you remember back to what we talked about a couple of weeks ago

00:28:55.280 when Lizzo was playing the flute.

00:28:58.920 And it may seem like these two things are pretty unrelated, and they are,

00:29:02.320 except in this one area where this is about demoralization.

00:29:06.180 That's the only way to understand this thing from the Selective Service.

00:29:10.540 Why else would they put that out there? 1.00

00:29:12.420 Just, hey, just letting you guys know, just reminding you that we can take your sons and kill them 1.00

00:29:17.440 and erase your family name and bloodline from history. 1.00

00:29:21.820 Why else would you come out and say it other than to demoralize people?

00:29:26.820 It's the only reason you would ever say that.

00:29:30.100 It's to demoralize people and to sort of let you know, let us know where we fall in the hierarchy,

00:29:36.100 that we are the peons, and that they can come along at any time and take our children 0.98

00:29:40.360 and have them killed off. 0.94

00:29:42.400 And, you know, in some war that if it's anything like the military engagements that we've had in recent history, 0.99

00:29:50.400 it'll be something that is completely irrelevant to our national interests.

00:29:56.340 Speaking of the draft, this is from Postmillennial.

00:29:58.700 This is also from today.

00:30:00.420 It says,

00:30:00.640 Almost all male U.S. citizens and male immigrants who are 18 through 25

00:30:14.960 are required to register with Selective Service,

00:30:17.440 and that includes males who identify as transgender.

00:30:19.760 Guidance on requirements from the Selective Service system say,

00:30:23.860 U.S. citizens or immigrants who are born male and change their gender to female

00:30:26.720 are still required to register.

00:30:28.480 Individuals who are born female and change their gender to male

00:30:31.100 are not required to register.

00:30:34.940 As soon as Biden took office, he enacted an executive order,

00:30:37.700 one of many, that said those who identify as transgender

00:30:40.240 should be treated by the military according to their gender identity

00:30:43.460 and not according to their biological sex.

00:30:47.220 Okay.

00:30:48.620 So this is very interesting.

00:30:50.700 Now, we know that there's this effort to,

00:30:54.860 and there's been a push in recent years,

00:30:56.820 to make women eligible for the draft. 1.00

00:31:00.780 And I know there have even been some people on the right who've supported this,

00:31:04.400 not because they support it in principle,

00:31:06.040 but because they see it as kind of a,

00:31:09.120 they see it as an FU to the feminists. 1.00

00:31:10.900 And they say, oh, so you want to be treated like a man?

00:31:12.880 Well, now you're going to be drafted.

00:31:15.280 Now, I can't get behind that because it's not, you know,

00:31:18.280 what feminists are you thinking you're flipping the finger to here? 1.00

00:31:21.920 You see, you have in your mind, like,

00:31:23.780 feminist college professors and gender studies professors. 0.98

00:31:27.380 They're not the ones who are going to get drafted.

00:31:29.360 Okay.

00:31:29.760 It's like my daughter gets drafted and yours.

00:31:33.980 So you line up behind this

00:31:36.020 because you think that it proves some point to the feminists. 1.00

00:31:38.980 They're not the ones that are going to suffer and die.

00:31:42.040 It'll be your own daughters. 0.99

00:31:45.540 I don't want my daughters to have nothing to do with this.

00:31:48.020 Yes, it's true that our culture has bought into this feminist lie, 1.00

00:31:51.040 this leftist lie in general,

00:31:52.940 that men and women are the same.

00:31:54.640 My daughters have nothing to do with that. 1.00

00:31:56.140 It's not their fault.

00:31:57.220 Why should they have to pay the price for that?

00:31:58.480 So I don't, the idea of drafting women, I think, is horrific 1.00

00:32:07.600 and immoral in the extreme

00:32:10.880 and a sign of a civilization that's simply given up.

00:32:16.180 You know, when you get to the point where you're sending your,

00:32:18.680 you are conscripting your daughters to go die on the battlefield, 0.82

00:32:22.420 that is a civilization that has surrendered,

00:32:25.220 that has given up completely.

00:32:30.840 So we don't know if that will ultimately go through or not,

00:32:34.140 that women are going to get drafted. 1.00

00:32:37.160 But until that does, now there is this,

00:32:39.600 once that goes through,

00:32:41.140 then it's like, whatever, they're drafting everybody.

00:32:43.260 But until that point,

00:32:44.440 now they really have a little bit of an issue on their hands

00:32:46.800 because we're told the Biden administration in particular

00:32:49.580 says that even in the context of the military,

00:32:52.240 in most other contexts,

00:32:53.760 they say that a male who identifies as a woman

00:32:55.800 is a woman and should be treated that way always, 0.94

00:33:00.040 even to the point of being sent to a women's prison. 1.00

00:33:03.560 You have a male sex offender, 0.93

00:33:05.660 a male rapist should be sent to a women's prison, 1.00

00:33:08.080 locked in a prison cell with women 1.00

00:33:09.420 because he is a woman, they tell us.

00:33:12.860 And yet, the only time when it's not going to work,

00:33:18.820 the only government agency or department,

00:33:23.940 the only organ of the government

00:33:25.580 that will not recognize your female self-identity 1.00

00:33:29.460 is selective service,

00:33:31.100 are the people who would draft you.

00:33:32.400 They're the only ones.

00:33:34.640 So they're going to go along with it.

00:33:35.920 We're going to pretend you're a woman in every context, 0.99

00:33:38.120 including in contexts where it's going to hurt other,

00:33:39.940 real women,

00:33:40.540 especially in those contexts.

00:33:45.340 But when we need you,

00:33:48.800 you know,

00:33:49.020 when the politicians need to send you overseas

00:33:51.000 to die for one of their wars,

00:33:54.020 that's when the act is dropped.

00:33:57.000 Now we're not pretending anymore.

00:33:58.540 That was all cute and fine.

00:33:59.960 Not anymore.

00:34:03.300 Really tells you everything you need to know.

00:34:05.960 All right.

00:34:08.020 One other thing here.

00:34:09.820 What do we got?

00:34:10.500 There's a couple to choose from.

00:34:12.660 And we're running out of time in the five headlines.

00:34:15.720 All right.

00:34:16.000 I want to mention this because it's kind of related.

00:34:17.380 This is from the Daily Wire.

00:34:18.680 It says,

00:34:18.860 author J.K. Rowling slammed the idea that she's right wing 1.00

00:34:22.120 simply because she cares about child safeguarding

00:34:24.760 and said she's been on the liberal left all her adult life.

00:34:28.220 Rowling, the famed Harry Potter author,

00:34:29.820 who's been the target of transgender activists

00:34:31.780 because of her defense of biological women, 1.00

00:34:33.640 made several comments on Twitter Friday

00:34:35.220 explaining that future historians

00:34:36.640 will be able to trace the path of the culture

00:34:38.160 as it relates to radical gender ideology.

00:34:40.300 She says,

00:34:40.620 I say this as someone who's been on the liberal left

00:34:42.340 all her adult life.

00:34:43.940 Own goals don't come any more spectacular than

00:34:46.820 if you care about child safeguarding,

00:34:48.940 you must be right wing.

00:34:51.320 The crazy thing about this is

00:34:53.140 it's all been documented virtually minute by minute.

00:34:55.700 Future historians won't be struggling to find out

00:34:57.360 how this cultural moment happened.

00:34:59.460 Think how many books, blogs, videos, speeches,

00:35:01.440 and documentaries will be available to them.

00:35:04.640 So she is once again reasserting her bona fides

00:35:08.260 as a leftist.

00:35:09.520 And we've seen this from her before.

00:35:11.060 We know obviously when she disavowed me a few months ago

00:35:14.340 and said,

00:35:15.940 yeah, I thought what is a woman was fine, 1.00

00:35:17.260 but not this guy.

00:35:19.100 I don't want to be on the same side as this guy.

00:35:20.680 So this is not anything new for her.

00:35:23.120 I just wonder,

00:35:24.880 and I once again,

00:35:26.300 as I've said so many times,

00:35:27.220 but I do feel the need to reiterate

00:35:29.320 because it's true

00:35:30.080 that she's had a lot of courage on this issue.

00:35:33.560 Serves a lot of credit for that.

00:35:35.140 Yes, she's a multi-billionaire. 0.91

00:35:36.540 Yes, she has enough money to retire 1.00

00:35:38.960 for the next one million lifetimes.

00:35:40.720 And so you might say that she's got nothing to lose,

00:35:42.500 but you do have something to lose.

00:35:45.660 Yeah, when you've got a lot of money,

00:35:46.700 like when you're a billionaire,

00:35:47.540 you just kind of take that for,

00:35:48.280 okay, you're rich

00:35:49.480 and you always will be

00:35:50.680 and you just like,

00:35:51.420 you take that for granted

00:35:52.220 at a certain point.

00:35:54.480 You don't think of that

00:35:55.320 as something that you can lose

00:35:56.320 because you can't,

00:35:57.000 but there are other things you can lose

00:35:58.280 that you still value and cherish

00:35:59.460 and you might cherish them even more

00:36:00.580 now that money is like

00:36:01.380 not an issue anymore to think about.

00:36:03.520 Things like your reputation,

00:36:05.260 your, you know,

00:36:07.060 the admiration people have for you

00:36:08.940 in the mainstream.

00:36:10.580 So those are things

00:36:11.800 that she had and she's now lost

00:36:14.040 in the mainstream anyway.

00:36:16.580 For someone like me,

00:36:18.960 it's gone the opposite.

00:36:19.580 I respect her health a lot more

00:36:20.880 than I did before,

00:36:21.640 but she doesn't really care.

00:36:23.180 She's made it clear.

00:36:23.660 She doesn't care what I think

00:36:24.460 or what you think.

00:36:26.580 So she has lost the respect

00:36:28.440 of people that,

00:36:30.480 whose opinion she otherwise cares about.

00:36:34.900 And that's something.

00:36:36.160 That's a lot.

00:36:37.280 That takes guts.

00:36:39.700 So all that said,

00:36:40.700 I do wish that at some point,

00:36:43.380 J.K. Rowling and everyone,

00:36:46.580 in her kind of camp,

00:36:47.780 what they call themselves

00:36:49.180 gender-critical feminists,

00:36:50.560 they're derisively called

00:36:52.340 TERFs by the other side.

00:36:54.940 But I wish that they would all

00:36:56.020 just stop and think for a second.

00:36:58.340 I mean, you still claim

00:37:00.160 you're fealty to the left

00:37:01.840 and you say you've been a liberal

00:37:02.800 and you still believe all of that.

00:37:05.580 Maybe stop and think about,

00:37:08.280 okay, why is it that your side

00:37:09.980 has lost its mind?

00:37:11.560 If you notice that,

00:37:12.300 it's only on your side.

00:37:14.460 You still claim this

00:37:15.440 as your side broadly

00:37:16.660 in the ideological struggle.

00:37:20.220 And yet,

00:37:21.020 you are on the side

00:37:22.120 that has totally lost

00:37:23.500 its grip on reality.

00:37:26.160 Maybe you should think about that.

00:37:27.820 And you should think about

00:37:28.580 whether you still want to

00:37:30.100 align yourself with that.

00:37:34.860 You should think about,

00:37:36.000 are there some fundamental,

00:37:38.040 like,

00:37:38.160 is it just a coincidence

00:37:39.700 that this gender ideology, 0.79

00:37:41.940 this trans stuff,

00:37:42.680 came along on the left?

00:37:43.960 Is that a coincidence?

00:37:44.820 Could it have been either one?

00:37:46.440 It could have been the right.

00:37:47.260 You know,

00:37:47.460 it could have been conservatives.

00:37:48.380 But it just ended up being

00:37:49.600 just some quirk of history.

00:37:51.760 It just ended up being leftists

00:37:53.100 who got all behind gender ideology

00:37:54.600 and, you know, 1.00

00:37:55.700 women have penises 1.00

00:37:56.360 and all the rest of it. 1.00

00:37:58.280 Is it that?

00:37:59.440 Or is there something

00:38:00.600 fundamentally in leftism

00:38:02.800 that inevitably led to this?

00:38:05.200 Because I think it's very much

00:38:06.220 the latter.

00:38:08.540 And there's a lot there

00:38:09.500 that we could talk about

00:38:10.400 that we don't have time for,

00:38:11.780 but I'll point to one thing,

00:38:12.940 the rejection of objective truth.

00:38:15.540 Leftism is inherently

00:38:16.820 a relativistic worldview.

00:38:22.440 Always has been.

00:38:24.440 And that's where all this stems from,

00:38:26.640 ultimately.

00:38:27.520 There's a lot more

00:38:28.080 that goes into it.

00:38:30.380 Leftism is also anti-family.

00:38:32.540 It's anti-anything

00:38:33.680 that has the stench

00:38:37.980 of tradition,

00:38:38.940 you know,

00:38:39.280 in their minds.

00:38:40.900 Anything like that.

00:38:41.520 So they're anti all of that,

00:38:42.540 inherently destructive,

00:38:43.460 inherently anti-truth.

00:38:46.560 That's where it comes from.

00:38:48.860 Maybe think about that

00:38:49.760 and say,

00:38:50.120 well,

00:38:50.420 maybe I'm not a liberal.

00:38:51.860 Maybe I'm not on the liberal left

00:38:52.980 or I shouldn't be.

00:38:55.820 Something to think about

00:38:56.600 as we get into our

00:38:58.080 comment section.

00:38:58.840 Daily cancellations

00:39:00.740 are the law and order

00:39:01.980 of the day

00:39:03.420 with the Sweet Baby Gang.

00:39:09.480 Well,

00:39:09.980 this is a,

00:39:10.560 the segment of the show

00:39:11.560 dedicated to the SBG.

00:39:13.280 Really every segment

00:39:14.120 of the show

00:39:14.720 is dedicated

00:39:15.140 to my dear sweet babies,

00:39:16.480 but this in particular.

00:39:18.800 And because of that,

00:39:19.980 I need to make sure

00:39:20.640 to give special credit

00:39:21.540 and issue accommodations

00:39:22.580 to the SBG

00:39:24.500 who showed up

00:39:25.120 to an event

00:39:25.700 on Saturday

00:39:26.300 in Michigan

00:39:27.060 where I was speaking,

00:39:28.620 a great conference

00:39:30.140 called the Body of Christ

00:39:31.120 in the Public Square

00:39:31.840 event conference.

00:39:33.700 And it's a wonderful event

00:39:35.020 run and attended

00:39:35.740 by some very solid Christians.

00:39:38.180 But the SBG was there

00:39:39.320 and to understand

00:39:40.440 why their presence

00:39:41.560 was so especially

00:39:42.620 important and inspiring,

00:39:45.960 just need a little bit

00:39:46.680 of background.

00:39:47.920 The background goes back

00:39:49.400 to the greatest controversy

00:39:50.720 of this current century,

00:39:52.200 of course,

00:39:52.540 which I don't need

00:39:53.380 to tell you,

00:39:54.220 is Walruscape.

00:39:55.400 The controversy

00:39:55.960 which did not conclude

00:39:57.940 and was not settled

00:39:59.140 when Ben Shapiro

00:40:00.040 finally released his grip

00:40:01.260 on my life-sized

00:40:02.860 stuffed walrus,

00:40:04.220 that was only

00:40:04.660 the end of chapter one.

00:40:05.940 That was one struggle

00:40:06.900 and the beginning

00:40:07.480 of another one

00:40:08.880 because now that it's been

00:40:10.160 officially given to me,

00:40:11.820 in theory anyway,

00:40:13.060 the next step

00:40:13.620 is to bring it home.

00:40:15.180 But home

00:40:15.940 is where my wife lives 1.00

00:40:18.100 and she has never

00:40:19.780 been on board,

00:40:20.920 I'm afraid to say,

00:40:21.880 with the giant

00:40:22.460 stuffed walrus.

00:40:23.020 She has never

00:40:23.800 understood my pain

00:40:25.080 over its absence

00:40:26.380 nor my desire

00:40:27.240 for its presence

00:40:28.040 and that's why

00:40:29.420 to this day,

00:40:31.360 the walrus

00:40:32.020 still is not

00:40:32.820 at my house.

00:40:33.780 It's not there.

00:40:34.520 It's still at work,

00:40:37.160 still in the studio.

00:40:38.640 In fact,

00:40:38.960 my wife

00:40:39.540 went around me,

00:40:41.280 she usurped me,

00:40:42.640 and started texting

00:40:44.300 and calling people

00:40:45.220 at work

00:40:45.800 to prevent them

00:40:46.420 from bringing it home.

00:40:47.660 This is true.

00:40:48.180 It's what she did.

00:40:48.700 I was actually

00:40:50.480 on the air one day

00:40:51.640 and she was conspiring.

00:40:54.160 She and my assistant,

00:40:55.160 Tessa,

00:40:55.540 in particular,

00:40:56.440 reached some sort

00:40:57.160 of agreement

00:40:57.740 whereby now

00:40:59.320 the walrus

00:40:59.760 is still at the office.

00:41:01.360 It's not at my house.

00:41:03.800 You have to understand

00:41:04.640 that my wife,

00:41:05.260 by the way,

00:41:05.500 has a direct line

00:41:06.460 to everyone I work with

00:41:08.440 and will simply

00:41:09.700 go around me

00:41:10.280 whenever it suits her.

00:41:11.460 She has the numbers

00:41:12.480 of everybody

00:41:12.900 in the wardrobe department

00:41:13.940 and she has no problem

00:41:15.280 calling them

00:41:15.760 to give her opinion

00:41:16.380 about wardrobe issues.

00:41:18.160 She obviously 0.83

00:41:19.060 is in touch

00:41:19.500 with everybody

00:41:21.320 and somehow

00:41:24.680 this agreement

00:41:25.740 was sorted out

00:41:27.120 and so I don't have

00:41:28.860 the walrus now.

00:41:31.000 So anyway,

00:41:32.080 my wife's argument

00:41:33.640 against the walrus

00:41:35.600 is that number one,

00:41:36.340 she thinks we don't have

00:41:37.100 room for it in the house,

00:41:38.480 which is absurd

00:41:39.480 because if we lived 0.95

00:41:41.100 in a damned 0.99

00:41:41.640 double-wide trailer, 0.99

00:41:43.100 I would still say

00:41:43.880 we have room

00:41:44.740 for the walrus.

00:41:45.820 Get rid of the couch

00:41:46.600 and put the walrus there.

00:41:47.420 You can sit on it too

00:41:48.120 by the way

00:41:48.560 and she says

00:41:50.160 we can't fit it

00:41:50.820 through the door

00:41:51.480 which, okay,

00:41:52.620 you can take the door off,

00:41:54.200 you can cut a hole

00:41:54.760 in the side of the house,

00:41:55.580 it's been done before,

00:41:57.560 it can bust through the wall

00:41:58.920 like the Kool-Aid man,

00:42:00.140 whatever you gotta do,

00:42:00.980 these are not real problems,

00:42:02.580 these are excuses,

00:42:03.520 I'm a solution man,

00:42:04.360 I'm not an excuses guy,

00:42:05.540 I don't wanna hear

00:42:06.040 the excuses,

00:42:07.120 tell me the solutions

00:42:07.960 and if you don't have them,

00:42:08.940 I'll tell you what they are.

00:42:10.140 Cut a hole in the wall,

00:42:11.120 that's it,

00:42:11.520 that's the solution.

00:42:13.340 This brings us

00:42:13.960 to the event this weekend

00:42:14.640 which my wife attended

00:42:15.400 with me and she was

00:42:16.540 in the audience

00:42:17.020 when someone came

00:42:17.680 to the microphone

00:42:18.320 during the Q&A,

00:42:20.380 addressed me as

00:42:21.380 Sweet Daddy Walsh

00:42:22.360 which creeps my wife 1.00

00:42:24.640 out to no end

00:42:25.200 so I was so glad

00:42:26.060 she was there for that

00:42:26.700 and then also asked

00:42:27.880 about the walrus

00:42:28.480 and it gave me

00:42:29.700 an opportunity

00:42:30.340 on the stage

00:42:32.120 with the microphone

00:42:32.860 to make my case

00:42:35.280 for bringing the walrus home

00:42:36.460 and I was able

00:42:37.020 to get the audience

00:42:38.340 to applaud along with me

00:42:39.500 so it was like

00:42:40.200 400 against one

00:42:41.920 and you have to understand

00:42:43.340 in a marriage

00:42:44.360 it's a man-woman argument

00:42:45.680 men are often

00:42:47.000 at a disadvantage

00:42:47.720 but when you have

00:42:49.340 the microphone

00:42:49.960 and she doesn't

00:42:50.960 that's a whole

00:42:52.600 different ballgame.

00:42:53.160 It made me think

00:42:53.600 that I should have

00:42:54.360 a stage and a microphone

00:42:55.280 in my house

00:42:56.180 so that anytime

00:42:57.160 we're arguing about something

00:42:58.080 I'll just get up

00:42:58.660 on the stage

00:42:59.260 and I'll

00:43:00.200 you know

00:43:01.980 just start shouting

00:43:03.840 it into the microphone.

00:43:05.200 Maybe I'll start

00:43:05.620 live streaming it too

00:43:06.460 so the SPG

00:43:07.260 can see the argument

00:43:08.100 and everyone

00:43:08.600 will get on my side.

00:43:09.320 Anyway

00:43:11.400 the walrus still isn't home

00:43:12.400 even after all that.

00:43:13.820 Jack Strahl says

00:43:14.640 I drove 49 miles last night

00:43:16.720 to hear Sweet Daddy's lecture

00:43:17.900 I got detoured

00:43:18.940 by road construction

00:43:20.020 on campus

00:43:20.600 and by the time

00:43:21.160 I found parking

00:43:21.740 it was 7.55

00:43:22.680 and couldn't get in

00:43:23.820 there I stood

00:43:25.060 ticket in hand

00:43:25.680 and unable to hear

00:43:26.340 Matt Wall speak

00:43:27.060 this is at the college event

00:43:27.920 by the way

00:43:28.200 not the other thing

00:43:29.620 I tried to bargain

00:43:30.620 with the person at the door

00:43:31.640 to no avail

00:43:32.260 so I sat outside the hall

00:43:33.620 and watched it on YouTube

00:43:34.480 it was a long trip

00:43:35.340 but it was not for naught

00:43:36.600 because I was able

00:43:37.700 to trigger a protester

00:43:38.680 by misgendering it

00:43:39.880 I'm glad to hear that part

00:43:41.800 and I hate that you

00:43:42.480 couldn't make it in though Jack

00:43:43.400 you know

00:43:45.200 tell you what

00:43:45.520 we'll send you

00:43:46.460 we'll get in touch with you

00:43:47.020 we'll send you

00:43:47.380 a signed t-shirt

00:43:48.440 and a signed book

00:43:51.060 and a stuffed walrus

00:43:53.240 and a couple stickers

00:43:56.420 and a leftist tears

00:43:59.960 mug signed

00:44:00.940 and I just promised

00:44:02.660 all those things

00:44:03.220 so we have to do it now

00:44:04.260 otherwise I'd be a liar

00:44:05.540 A. Reid says

00:44:07.280 the optics of these events

00:44:08.440 are always exactly

00:44:09.340 what you'd expect

00:44:10.140 massive crowds

00:44:11.060 of normal looking

00:44:11.880 well behaved people

00:44:12.840 versus small groups

00:44:13.880 of colorful cry babies 0.99

00:44:15.260 and social parasites 1.00

00:44:16.460 those are 0.99

00:44:17.980 those are indeed the optics

00:44:18.860 and so you can watch

00:44:19.720 and just decide

00:44:20.260 whose side you're on

00:44:20.940 it's really up to you

00:44:22.220 Gray Webb says

00:44:25.420 if your presence

00:44:26.080 makes her feel unsafe

00:44:27.080 why is she in the same

00:44:28.180 building you're in

00:44:29.120 yeah that is

00:44:30.780 that is really

00:44:31.360 the ultimate question

00:44:32.320 and as we were talking

00:44:34.000 about the protesters

00:44:34.660 and how they felt unsafe

00:44:35.760 and they were complaining

00:44:36.400 and all that

00:44:36.900 well if you're really

00:44:38.600 that unsafe

00:44:39.000 why are you

00:44:39.960 you could leave

00:44:41.040 the building

00:44:41.460 you don't have to

00:44:41.960 I'm not forcing you

00:44:42.720 to be in the building

00:44:43.320 I didn't show up

00:44:44.260 to the building

00:44:44.720 that you were in

00:44:45.340 I didn't like show up

00:44:46.280 I didn't chase you down

00:44:47.880 I wasn't chasing you

00:44:48.580 across the campus

00:44:49.260 so if you're really

00:44:49.860 if you really feel unsafe

00:44:51.060 then you would

00:44:52.600 they just go somewhere else

00:44:54.660 but that's an easy solution

00:44:57.680 and that's exactly

00:44:59.060 what they don't want

00:44:59.480 they want the excuse

00:45:00.100 they want the excuse

00:45:00.820 to complain

00:45:01.760 they don't actually want

00:45:02.520 the solution

00:45:04.600 happy Columbus Day folks

00:45:06.800 530 years ago

00:45:08.420 Columbus discovered

00:45:10.060 the new world

00:45:10.740 but the left ruined it

00:45:12.280 so Jeremy is building

00:45:14.180 a new new world

00:45:15.340 starting with his razors

00:45:16.860 and right now

00:45:17.440 you can get your

00:45:21.480 as part of a historic

00:45:22.900 Columbus Day sale

00:45:24.080 the left wants to erase

00:45:25.400 history and masculinity

00:45:26.620 but you don't have to let them

00:45:28.380 navigate your way

00:45:29.480 to jeremysrazors.com

00:45:31.500 to conquer your stubble

00:45:32.800 and arrive in style

00:45:34.500 this holiday

00:45:35.200 now let's get to

00:45:36.220 our daily cancellation

00:45:37.040 today for our daily cancellation

00:45:42.840 we go back a few months

00:45:44.320 to a video posted in June

00:45:46.120 which is reacting to my film

00:45:48.060 What is a Woman 1.00

00:45:48.620 I wasn't aware

00:45:49.580 that this video existed

00:45:50.520 until someone happened

00:45:51.320 to send it to me last week

00:45:52.360 and we'll take a look at it

00:45:54.460 we'll talk about it now

00:45:55.440 because it helps me

00:45:57.140 illustrate a point

00:45:58.680 that I want to make

00:45:59.900 and that's when you

00:46:01.320 that's a good way

00:46:02.300 to get into the cancellation

00:46:03.080 is if you say something

00:46:04.260 that just plays into

00:46:05.800 an overall overarching point

00:46:07.140 I feel like making

00:46:08.020 and so that's what's happening here

00:46:09.960 and the guy in this clip

00:46:11.160 is someone named

00:46:12.140 Jordan B. Cooper

00:46:13.160 who's a theologian

00:46:14.080 and author

00:46:14.480 president of the

00:46:15.740 American Lutheran

00:46:16.720 Theological Seminary

00:46:18.060 he also hosts a podcast

00:46:19.560 I believe

00:46:20.040 based on what very little

00:46:21.220 I know about the guy

00:46:22.180 I'm assuming the two of us

00:46:23.720 probably agree

00:46:24.360 on a great many important issues

00:46:25.780 in fact we agree

00:46:26.940 about the issue

00:46:27.580 that lies at the center

00:46:28.420 of the film

00:46:29.020 that we're really

00:46:29.920 on the same page

00:46:30.560 in so many ways

00:46:31.160 and Cooper seems

00:46:32.340 to appreciate the film

00:46:33.580 and has some nice things

00:46:34.500 to say about the content

00:46:35.780 and about the approach

00:46:36.780 that we took

00:46:37.680 and yet

00:46:38.080 you can't get fully behind it

00:46:39.940 because as he sees it

00:46:41.180 my documentary

00:46:42.760 has one fatal flaw

00:46:44.080 I'm involved

00:46:45.540 let's listen

00:46:47.100 so I think there

00:46:49.240 there are some

00:46:50.080 things I want to say

00:46:51.240 about about the film

00:46:52.300 the first of those

00:46:54.000 is

00:46:54.440 honestly I think the film

00:46:55.840 would have been more effective

00:46:56.740 if it was not put out

00:46:58.060 by the Daily Wire

00:46:58.820 and particularly Matt Walsh

00:47:00.000 and I don't mean this

00:47:01.580 I don't mean that

00:47:03.360 as an insult to him

00:47:04.260 or them as an organization

00:47:05.220 in any way whatsoever

00:47:05.860 they are a

00:47:06.860 they're a political group

00:47:07.840 so they do political things

00:47:09.440 and he's a political figure

00:47:10.300 and this has

00:47:10.680 you know

00:47:11.660 very much has

00:47:12.540 political implications

00:47:13.460 but the reason I say that

00:47:15.340 is because

00:47:16.460 these issues of gender

00:47:18.460 really extend far beyond

00:47:20.980 the conservative

00:47:22.700 quote-unquote

00:47:23.240 conservative-liberal divide

00:47:24.520 or republican-democrat divide

00:47:26.120 of course these things

00:47:26.820 affect people

00:47:27.300 from all over the world

00:47:27.880 it's not just our

00:47:28.420 American political context

00:47:29.480 that determines

00:47:30.060 everything

00:47:31.200 even though us Americans

00:47:31.920 tend to think

00:47:32.400 everything centers around us

00:47:33.520 but it doesn't

00:47:34.500 these are

00:47:36.480 much broader

00:47:38.260 philosophical claims

00:47:40.320 that are being made

00:47:42.280 surrounding gender

00:47:43.040 that don't have

00:47:43.840 really anything

00:47:44.600 to do with politics

00:47:45.800 there are assertions

00:47:47.960 about what a male is

00:47:49.080 and what a female is 1.00

00:47:50.080 and questions

00:47:50.720 maybe more than assertions

00:47:51.820 because there are

00:47:52.320 no real answers

00:47:53.060 that are dependent

00:47:54.620 upon particular

00:47:55.740 philosophical constructs

00:47:57.420 that have not

00:47:58.120 in any way

00:47:59.040 been proven

00:48:00.060 but are instead

00:48:01.420 being forced upon people

00:48:03.160 yes that Matt Walsh movie

00:48:08.240 which Matt Walsh made

00:48:09.780 would be a lot better

00:48:10.880 without Matt Walsh in it

00:48:12.620 there are some major

00:48:14.080 logical problems

00:48:14.820 with such a criticism

00:48:15.540 of course

00:48:15.960 like if I made a painting

00:48:17.020 and you said

00:48:17.840 that you really

00:48:18.960 liked the painting

00:48:19.780 it wouldn't make

00:48:21.060 any sense

00:48:21.520 to then add

00:48:22.200 that the painting

00:48:23.220 would have been better

00:48:24.000 if I hadn't been

00:48:24.860 the one to paint it

00:48:26.260 now it may be true

00:48:27.560 that other people

00:48:28.180 could make better paintings

00:48:29.520 but this specific painting

00:48:31.420 wouldn't exist at all

00:48:32.720 without me

00:48:33.780 so if I wasn't involved

00:48:35.160 in the making

00:48:35.640 of the painting

00:48:36.340 you wouldn't have

00:48:37.540 a better version

00:48:38.300 of the painting

00:48:38.800 you just wouldn't have

00:48:39.880 this painting

00:48:40.360 in the first place

00:48:41.180 it wouldn't exist

00:48:41.720 so we'll pick up

00:48:43.180 on that thought

00:48:43.580 in just a moment

00:48:44.040 but here's a little bit more

00:48:44.860 of Jordan Cooper

00:48:46.060 but I think

00:48:47.980 because of the nature

00:48:48.800 of the fact

00:48:49.280 that it is Matt Walsh

00:48:50.660 making the documentary

00:48:51.560 that it will turn

00:48:53.180 a lot of people off

00:48:54.100 from it

00:48:54.680 and make

00:48:55.160 and I think

00:48:55.720 give the impression

00:48:56.560 that this is just another

00:48:58.480 kind of Republican

00:48:59.480 Democrat issue

00:49:01.080 and it's really not

00:49:02.940 and you see that

00:49:03.720 especially even

00:49:04.220 through the people

00:49:04.580 interviewed throughout

00:49:05.420 and people that are

00:49:06.220 speaking up on these issues

00:49:07.340 that this

00:49:07.840 this absolutely

00:49:09.280 100%

00:49:10.240 should not be

00:49:10.960 a Democrat

00:49:11.600 Republican issue

00:49:12.580 this is a question

00:49:14.460 of who is

00:49:15.900 the human person

00:49:16.760 what determines

00:49:18.860 what and who you are

00:49:20.180 is it what you say

00:49:21.440 you are

00:49:21.920 is truth determined

00:49:23.040 just by whatever

00:49:24.160 linguistic concept

00:49:26.980 society happens to use

00:49:28.300 even if it can't

00:49:28.920 define it

00:49:29.380 or is there something

00:49:30.260 real about

00:49:31.180 what we encounter

00:49:32.180 in our everyday experiences

00:49:33.340 what philosophically

00:49:35.020 would be referred to

00:49:35.660 as realism

00:49:36.400 or essentialism

00:49:37.360 that I know

00:49:38.920 is a bad word

00:49:39.800 among gender theorists

00:49:41.980 but unfortunately

00:49:42.720 I do think

00:49:43.280 that the fact

00:49:43.720 that Matt Walsh

00:49:44.300 is involved

00:49:44.620 is going to make

00:49:45.020 a bunch of people

00:49:45.360 kind of turn it off

00:49:46.160 and say

00:49:46.500 it's just some

00:49:47.220 political thing

00:49:47.720 well I'm sorry

00:49:51.340 for being involved

00:49:51.980 in my own project

00:49:52.740 I should have known better

00:49:54.060 though his critique

00:49:55.280 about the alleged

00:49:56.040 political nature

00:49:56.760 of the film

00:49:57.160 makes it sound

00:49:57.720 like we spend

00:49:58.200 the whole run time

00:49:58.940 ranting against Democrats

00:50:00.080 and shilling for Republicans

00:50:01.200 and there is in fact

00:50:02.080 none of that

00:50:03.100 in the movie

00:50:03.520 we do interview

00:50:04.220 and ultimately

00:50:05.300 embarrass a Democrat

00:50:06.260 politician

00:50:06.760 but his humiliation

00:50:08.160 is entirely self-induced

00:50:09.600 so what is

00:50:11.160 Cooper's actual

00:50:11.700 criticism

00:50:12.060 he tries to sort of

00:50:13.480 make it about

00:50:14.220 the approach

00:50:14.720 of the film itself

00:50:15.400 but ultimately

00:50:16.000 it's clear that he likes

00:50:17.260 the approach

00:50:17.660 he just doesn't like

00:50:18.340 or at least

00:50:18.700 doesn't terribly respect

00:50:19.880 at least in this case

00:50:22.240 me or the Daily Wire

00:50:23.360 now he's far from

00:50:24.760 the only Christian 0.97

00:50:25.260 in a position of leadership

00:50:26.140 who's voiced

00:50:27.040 this kind of objection

00:50:28.000 to not only

00:50:28.720 what is a woman 1.00

00:50:29.180 but all of the other work

00:50:30.480 that we're doing

00:50:31.000 on the gender ideology issue

00:50:32.200 and in the culture

00:50:32.940 in general

00:50:33.860 so I hear this kind of thing

00:50:36.680 a lot

00:50:36.900 they appreciate the work

00:50:38.140 but they really wish

00:50:40.200 we weren't the ones

00:50:41.380 doing it

00:50:41.940 because they're so

00:50:43.640 deeply uncomfortable

00:50:44.360 with us

00:50:44.980 and about various

00:50:45.660 different things

00:50:46.060 about us

00:50:46.540 they wish that we

00:50:48.020 could leave it

00:50:48.500 to more credible

00:50:49.220 Christian voices

00:50:50.060 to you know

00:50:50.740 handle these kinds

00:50:51.420 of things

00:50:51.800 those who could make

00:50:53.020 more robust

00:50:53.780 theological arguments

00:50:54.880 those who have

00:50:55.560 PhDs in moral theology

00:50:57.540 the problem with me

00:50:59.160 they say

00:50:59.600 is that

00:51:00.020 I'm too polarizing

00:51:02.380 I'm too abrasive

00:51:03.940 I'm too controversial

00:51:04.840 and what's more

00:51:05.760 I'm not educated enough

00:51:06.680 not eloquent enough

00:51:07.660 not the right kind

00:51:09.200 of Christian

00:51:09.740 not the right sort of voice

00:51:11.320 and to those criticisms

00:51:13.560 I say yes

00:51:14.520 basically true

00:51:16.960 I am too much

00:51:17.780 of some things

00:51:18.380 and not enough of others

00:51:19.280 I am a very flawed vessel

00:51:20.540 so why did I make

00:51:22.880 the film

00:51:23.420 well because

00:51:26.160 no one else did

00:51:28.580 why am I

00:51:30.960 fighting at the front lines

00:51:32.340 in this battle

00:51:32.840 well because

00:51:33.240 there aren't very many

00:51:34.340 other people

00:51:35.020 scrambling to get up here

00:51:36.520 there especially

00:51:38.080 aren't

00:51:38.740 aren't very many

00:51:39.520 Christian leaders

00:51:40.420 coming to the front

00:51:41.420 it's not as though

00:51:42.940 the foxhole is full

00:51:44.160 okay if you came up

00:51:45.000 we're not going to say

00:51:45.460 oh we don't have room for you

00:51:46.240 we got too many people

00:51:47.260 who want to be here

00:51:48.120 no no no

00:51:48.800 we got plenty of room

00:51:49.800 down in the trenches

00:51:50.420 we invite any

00:51:52.600 educated

00:51:53.380 PhD wielding

00:51:54.900 Christian pastor

00:51:55.720 or theologian

00:51:56.340 who wants to

00:51:57.100 jump down into the mud

00:51:58.220 with us

00:51:58.840 and get their hands dirty

00:51:59.740 we invite you all

00:52:00.900 to come

00:52:01.560 there's a few

00:52:03.540 here already with us

00:52:04.660 but not that many

00:52:05.540 instead they seem

00:52:07.500 to prefer to stay

00:52:08.260 far back

00:52:08.880 from where most

00:52:09.460 of the real fighting

00:52:10.180 is going on

00:52:10.860 lobbing grenades

00:52:11.920 that ultimately

00:52:13.080 end up hitting us

00:52:14.040 rather than the enemy

00:52:15.060 now at the Daily Wire

00:52:17.000 we encounter this sort of

00:52:17.960 thing pretty frequently

00:52:18.720 and this is why

00:52:20.420 it's maybe just

00:52:21.340 really annoys me

00:52:22.320 at this point

00:52:22.780 one other quick example

00:52:24.440 we released the

00:52:25.580 Jeremy's Razors commercial

00:52:26.640 back in March

00:52:27.420 of this year

00:52:27.960 and we did something

00:52:28.980 that no other

00:52:29.640 conservative organization

00:52:30.320 has done to my

00:52:31.520 knowledge

00:52:31.820 which is a high

00:52:32.880 price sponsor

00:52:33.700 left us

00:52:34.940 because it opposed

00:52:35.620 our values

00:52:36.220 and rather than

00:52:36.800 changing our values

00:52:37.760 to keep the sponsor

00:52:38.580 we told the sponsor 0.99

00:52:39.460 to go to hell 0.72

00:52:40.740 and we made a product

00:52:41.580 to directly compete

00:52:42.420 with them instead

00:52:43.040 big win

00:52:44.540 it's an important

00:52:45.280 cultural counterpunch

00:52:46.540 but some Christians

00:52:48.360 were uncomfortable

00:52:49.060 with it

00:52:50.060 it's uncomfortable

00:52:50.740 Toby Sumter

00:52:52.120 is a prominent pastor

00:52:53.140 co-host of a popular

00:52:54.120 podcast called

00:52:54.960 CrossPolitik

00:52:55.840 do a lot of good

00:52:57.120 things on the podcast

00:52:58.580 I've listened to it

00:52:59.360 but he wrote a

00:53:01.220 lengthy article

00:53:01.900 attacking the

00:53:02.720 Jeremy's Razors ad

00:53:03.660 claiming absurdly

00:53:04.920 that we somehow

00:53:06.240 had sold out

00:53:07.320 by making it

00:53:08.560 and he explained

00:53:09.640 all the ways

00:53:10.160 that it could have

00:53:10.540 been done better

00:53:11.080 he also threw

00:53:11.960 an irrelevant

00:53:12.480 blindside punch

00:53:13.800 at me and Michael

00:53:14.480 Knowles

00:53:14.780 accusing us of being

00:53:15.800 papist idolaters

00:53:17.240 you see the whole

00:53:18.800 Jeremy's Razors campaign

00:53:19.900 is a nice idea

00:53:21.060 he says

00:53:21.500 but he knows

00:53:22.780 how it could have

00:53:23.220 been done better

00:53:23.860 he could have

00:53:25.760 done it better

00:53:26.260 and yet

00:53:27.820 he isn't doing it

00:53:29.700 better

00:53:29.960 and never has

00:53:31.640 has he ever

00:53:32.900 produced anything

00:53:33.560 with the cultural

00:53:34.120 relevance of what

00:53:34.880 the Daily Wire

00:53:35.340 creates

00:53:35.720 has he ever

00:53:36.140 had a real

00:53:37.280 substantive win

00:53:38.140 in the culture

00:53:38.600 in the way that

00:53:39.160 we have

00:53:40.080 that we're changing

00:53:41.460 laws and saving

00:53:42.360 kids from getting

00:53:42.980 mutilated

00:53:43.380 and making content

00:53:44.260 that has a real

00:53:44.780 lasting noticeable

00:53:45.580 impact for the

00:53:46.220 good in our

00:53:46.600 culture

00:53:46.860 is Toby Sumter

00:53:48.300 doing that

00:53:48.620 is Jordan B. Cooper

00:53:49.620 by the way

00:53:51.540 it won't surprise

00:53:52.020 you to learn

00:53:52.520 that the cross

00:53:53.060 politic guys

00:53:53.660 also criticized

00:53:54.480 what is a woman 1.00

00:53:55.020 on the grounds

00:53:56.280 that I'm

00:53:57.000 Catholic

00:53:57.360 which means

00:53:57.860 the film

00:53:58.340 in terms of

00:53:58.900 impact

00:53:59.300 quote

00:53:59.900 won't do

00:54:00.420 much

00:54:00.780 and B

00:54:01.860 I didn't

00:54:02.660 bring Jesus

00:54:03.260 into the film

00:54:04.160 in the scene

00:54:04.980 where I'm

00:54:05.380 debating

00:54:05.760 the pro-trans

00:54:06.500 pediatrician

00:54:07.220 they wanted

00:54:08.220 me to launch

00:54:08.900 into a sermon

00:54:09.660 about the

00:54:10.260 saving power

00:54:10.960 of Jesus Christ

00:54:11.800 in the middle

00:54:12.160 of the movie

00:54:12.580 and because

00:54:13.740 I didn't

00:54:14.340 that's a big

00:54:15.280 problem

00:54:15.640 once again

00:54:16.780 they could have

00:54:18.360 made a much

00:54:18.760 better version

00:54:19.360 of the movie

00:54:20.860 a much more

00:54:21.380 Christian

00:54:21.840 much more Christian

00:54:22.700 much holier version

00:54:23.640 and yet they

00:54:25.860 haven't

00:54:26.200 they didn't

00:54:27.640 they aren't

00:54:30.020 see

00:54:31.100 Christian leaders

00:54:32.160 those who

00:54:32.660 actually pastor

00:54:33.540 churches

00:54:34.020 and have

00:54:34.460 degrees in

00:54:34.960 theology

00:54:35.420 and so on

00:54:36.000 they've spent

00:54:38.060 the last

00:54:38.440 several decades

00:54:39.200 suffering

00:54:40.020 one defeat

00:54:40.940 after another

00:54:41.580 in an

00:54:42.060 unrelenting

00:54:42.800 and unbroken

00:54:43.740 chain

00:54:44.400 of failure

00:54:45.140 our culture

00:54:47.160 has slipped

00:54:47.620 ever further

00:54:48.340 into madness

00:54:49.100 into moral

00:54:49.720 confusion

00:54:50.220 and abject

00:54:50.860 insanity

00:54:51.280 and all while

00:54:51.980 they preside

00:54:53.120 in their positions

00:54:53.800 of alleged

00:54:54.300 leadership

00:54:54.820 doing

00:54:56.060 nothing

00:54:57.220 look

00:54:58.880 there are

00:54:59.340 two kinds

00:54:59.920 of culturally

00:55:00.540 ineffectual 0.86

00:55:01.280 Christian leaders 0.97

00:55:01.940 in the country

00:55:02.440 the first

00:55:03.940 and I would say

00:55:04.440 the more

00:55:04.760 common brand

00:55:05.640 are those

00:55:07.080 pastors

00:55:07.520 and other

00:55:07.860 people in

00:55:08.220 positions of

00:55:08.660 spiritual

00:55:08.940 leadership

00:55:09.280 who have

00:55:10.000 simply

00:55:10.240 surrendered

00:55:10.780 the moral

00:55:11.380 fight

00:55:11.760 outright

00:55:12.200 right

00:55:13.040 they run

00:55:13.500 from

00:55:13.940 any issue

00:55:15.520 that might

00:55:15.820 be considered

00:55:16.260 controversial

00:55:16.880 they choose

00:55:17.860 instead to

00:55:18.360 drone on

00:55:18.900 about the

00:55:19.360 faux virtues

00:55:20.140 of tolerance

00:55:21.000 and inclusivity

00:55:21.860 some of them

00:55:22.940 haven't just

00:55:23.340 fled from the

00:55:24.000 controversial

00:55:24.380 fights

00:55:24.780 but instead

00:55:25.140 have actually

00:55:25.500 adopted the

00:55:26.200 mainstream

00:55:26.520 positions

00:55:27.220 in those

00:55:28.620 arguments

00:55:29.040 now using

00:55:29.880 their undeserved

00:55:30.620 credibility

00:55:31.080 to directly

00:55:31.700 shill

00:55:32.160 for

00:55:32.640 gender

00:55:33.280 ideology

00:55:33.800 abortion

00:55:34.320 the destruction

00:55:34.900 of marriage

00:55:35.420 in the family

00:55:35.960 and so on

00:55:36.520 this is

00:55:38.080 one category

00:55:39.440 but it's

00:55:41.380 certainly the 0.99

00:55:41.760 more pathetic 1.00

00:55:42.240 and shameful 1.00

00:55:42.780 one to be sure

00:55:43.600 but it's not

00:55:44.880 the one I'm

00:55:45.240 concerned with

00:55:45.800 today

00:55:46.100 because there's

00:55:46.620 this other

00:55:46.980 category that

00:55:47.680 doesn't get

00:55:48.240 criticized

00:55:48.960 quite as much

00:55:49.800 the other

00:55:51.780 type of

00:55:52.160 ineffectual 0.76

00:55:52.840 Christian leader 0.95

00:55:53.560 is the type

00:55:55.560 who maintains

00:55:56.720 his belief

00:55:57.540 in and defense

00:55:58.560 of Christian

00:55:59.080 values

00:55:59.560 rejects the

00:56:01.700 spirit of the

00:56:02.280 age

00:56:02.620 adopts the

00:56:03.680 correct

00:56:04.000 positions

00:56:04.580 talks about

00:56:06.220 important

00:56:06.640 things

00:56:07.160 but only

00:56:09.780 talks about

00:56:10.340 them

00:56:10.560 he's very

00:56:12.080 impressed with

00:56:12.680 his theological

00:56:13.340 and philosophical

00:56:13.940 training and

00:56:14.660 wants us to

00:56:15.060 be impressed

00:56:15.460 too

00:56:15.620 he pontificates

00:56:16.460 in the

00:56:16.680 abstract

00:56:17.100 saying many

00:56:17.940 intelligent

00:56:18.820 things and

00:56:19.500 impressing

00:56:20.000 everyone who

00:56:21.300 already agrees

00:56:21.980 with him

00:56:22.260 anyway and

00:56:22.880 who shares

00:56:23.600 his level

00:56:24.060 of education

00:56:24.680 and erudition

00:56:25.440 this type

00:56:26.680 not only makes

00:56:27.600 no real

00:56:28.180 inroads in

00:56:28.820 the culture

00:56:29.240 not only fails

00:56:30.020 to win

00:56:30.420 any battles

00:56:30.980 but indeed

00:56:31.500 prefers not

00:56:32.760 to win

00:56:33.240 them

00:56:33.560 because he

00:56:35.160 likes being

00:56:35.580 on the losing

00:56:35.980 side

00:56:36.340 this is his

00:56:36.840 brand

00:56:37.220 it's his

00:56:37.580 MO

00:56:37.900 and it's

00:56:38.480 his cover

00:56:39.080 because the

00:56:40.280 culture's lost

00:56:40.900 anyway he

00:56:41.500 reasons there's

00:56:42.020 no point in

00:56:42.540 putting up a

00:56:43.040 fight

00:56:43.260 he can't

00:56:45.020 win

00:56:45.260 none of us

00:56:46.120 can he says

00:56:46.780 which means

00:56:47.160 that nobody

00:56:47.920 can judge

00:56:48.360 him for not

00:56:48.780 winning

00:56:49.000 which means

00:56:50.220 that there's

00:56:51.420 no way to

00:56:51.760 discern whether

00:56:52.440 he is

00:56:52.740 achieving

00:56:53.100 anything at

00:56:53.580 all in

00:56:53.820 his career

00:56:54.200 so there's

00:56:54.560 really no

00:56:54.820 pressure

00:56:55.160 we can't

00:56:56.180 accuse him

00:56:56.480 of losing

00:56:56.900 because we're

00:56:57.400 all losing

00:56:57.840 all the time

00:56:58.340 and that's

00:56:59.200 how he likes

00:56:59.600 it this

00:57:01.840 is why

00:57:02.060 someone who

00:57:02.440 belongs to

00:57:02.860 this category

00:57:03.380 actually actively

00:57:04.440 opposes any

00:57:05.500 attempt by

00:57:06.260 conservatives to

00:57:07.060 make progress

00:57:07.880 in the culture

00:57:08.500 the only reason

00:57:10.760 to engage with

00:57:11.480 the culture

00:57:11.860 at all

00:57:12.420 they think

00:57:13.280 is to

00:57:14.160 virtue signal

00:57:14.660 to it

00:57:15.380 he doesn't

00:57:16.480 want to

00:57:16.660 change the

00:57:17.020 culture

00:57:17.240 he just

00:57:17.500 wants the

00:57:17.860 culture to

00:57:18.360 know

00:57:18.740 how different

00:57:19.720 he is

00:57:20.380 from it

00:57:21.020 now

00:57:23.120 not every

00:57:24.380 pastor

00:57:24.760 priest

00:57:25.180 christian

00:57:25.580 leader in

00:57:25.880 the country

00:57:26.200 falls into

00:57:26.780 one of

00:57:27.120 these

00:57:27.260 categories

00:57:27.700 but most

00:57:29.540 do

00:57:29.820 and if

00:57:31.520 they

00:57:31.680 didn't

00:57:32.160 we

00:57:32.660 wouldn't

00:57:32.960 be in

00:57:33.460 the

00:57:33.660 position

00:57:34.060 that

00:57:34.380 we're

00:57:34.520 in

00:57:34.800 this

00:57:36.700 used to

00:57:37.060 be a

00:57:37.300 christian

00:57:37.580 society

00:57:38.060 it is

00:57:39.320 no longer

00:57:39.840 and hasn't

00:57:41.380 been for a

00:57:41.860 long time

00:57:42.400 it slid all

00:57:43.440 the way down

00:57:43.800 the slippery

00:57:44.220 slope

00:57:44.520 and off

00:57:44.820 into the

00:57:45.120 abyss

00:57:45.360 while most

00:57:46.100 of the

00:57:46.280 people tasked

00:57:46.900 with preventing

00:57:47.520 such a

00:57:47.940 decline

00:57:48.240 were at

00:57:49.020 the wheel

00:57:49.400 too afraid

00:57:50.500 or too

00:57:50.960 distracted

00:57:51.420 by the

00:57:51.740 sounds of

00:57:52.060 their own

00:57:52.280 voices

00:57:52.560 to bother

00:57:53.020 steering us

00:57:53.540 away from

00:57:53.880 destruction

00:57:54.280 so now

00:57:57.920 the job

00:57:58.260 falls to

00:57:58.760 other people

00:57:59.620 i mean

00:58:00.840 it falls to

00:58:01.280 people who

00:58:01.740 may be a

00:58:02.200 little bit

00:58:02.500 edgier than

00:58:03.120 you'd like

00:58:03.500 a little

00:58:03.800 rough around

00:58:04.440 the edges

00:58:04.800 a little

00:58:05.180 problematic

00:58:06.340 not the

00:58:07.580 right kind

00:58:07.880 of christians

00:58:08.400 not christian

00:58:09.880 at all

00:58:10.140 in some

00:58:10.380 cases

00:58:10.680 this

00:58:12.360 rogues

00:58:13.120 gallery

00:58:13.580 this

00:58:13.880 collection

00:58:17.820 what needs

00:58:18.240 to be

00:58:18.520 done

00:58:18.840 and what

00:58:21.080 you never

00:58:21.480 did

00:58:21.880 and refuse

00:58:23.320 to do

00:58:23.720 even now

00:58:24.240 you can

00:58:26.420 stand back

00:58:27.040 safe and

00:58:27.580 out of

00:58:27.840 range

00:58:28.160 criticizing

00:58:28.840 and pontificating

00:58:29.820 and telling

00:58:30.760 us what a

00:58:31.420 better job

00:58:32.180 you would

00:58:32.620 be doing

00:58:33.060 if you

00:58:33.420 were doing

00:58:33.740 anything

00:58:34.020 at all

00:58:34.420 you can

00:58:36.180 make yourself

00:58:36.500 feel better

00:58:36.920 that way

00:58:37.320 while the

00:58:39.800 battle is

00:58:40.240 fought
