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.
00:00:22.420
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.

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.
00:03:05.460
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.
00:03:19.100
The fight continues, of course, as we now move on to make gender transitions on minors illegal across the entire state,
00:03:30.160
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.
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.
00:04:20.320
This is the, it just demolishes all of us, we're told.
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.
00:04:52.700
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.
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.
00:05:23.040
As recently as, let's say, the 1990s, early 2000s, people were making reductive jokes about the subject.
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.
00:05:52.040
But you must realize that Jon Stewart has always been a pathetic fraud.
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.
00:06:13.560
Any moment of progressive visibility will be met with a vicious backlash.
00:06:29.900
That last guy sounded like it's an emergency, and we're running out of genders.
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.
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.
00:07:27.780
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.
00:07:40.760
Well, okay, yes, there are obviously men who are more man than other men, but that's an aberration.
00:07:50.340
Okay, there's an entire Greek alphabet, a continuum of masculinity, but that doesn't mean...
00:08:10.780
Clearly, masculinity appears to be on a dimmer, not an on-off switch, but ladies are different.
00:08:29.560
What a cruise line buffet of the gradients in American gender expression.
00:08:35.500
Turns out there's a lot of non-binary sh** happening between the binaries.
00:08:47.660
Just play a clip of someone saying something normal and then mug for the camera like it's,
00:08:53.860
Just, someone says something normal and you look at the camera like...
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.
00:09:37.080
There are lots of different ways you can describe squares, depending on how you decorate them.
00:09:42.900
You could do a lot of interesting things with a square.
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?
00:10:03.720
Is that what the left considers some kind of definitive smackdown of the gender binary?
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.
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.
00:10:42.420
The answer to what is a woman has always been the same.
00:10:44.940
It's a woman is a deformity that occurred in the ordinary course of nature.
00:10:59.700
I meant a woman is a person who has no legal existence once married.
00:11:04.700
That's, I'm sorry, that's, that's early American coverture law.
00:11:11.360
No, the, throughout history, it's not a gotcha question.
00:11:25.280
Yes, John, those are different things that different people and institutions have said about women over the course of history.
00:11:36.200
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.
00:11:59.140
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.
00:12:43.360
On the other hand, people with functioning brains say that he's a bland, boring chump, desperate for approval.
00:12:49.440
These are all adjectives, some of them more accurate than others.
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.
00:13:03.820
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.
00:13:14.820
Yet, not every great American is necessarily equipped to successfully respond to a partisan hack like Stewart
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.
00:13:35.800
Why would the state of Arkansas step in to override parents, physicians, psychiatrists, endocrinologists who have developed 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.
00:14:19.120
Then why would you pass a law then if you don't know that that's true?
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.
00:14:50.420
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.
00:15:11.360
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.
00:15:35.400
Instead of making the mistake of getting into a credentialism contest, as Rutledge does here,
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.
00:15:57.420
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.
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.
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.
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?
00:16:45.440
The burden of proof is not on me to explain to you why we shouldn't castrate and sterilize children.
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.
00:17:00.920
Tell me, Jon, which credible long-term studies prove that it's a good idea to castrate and mutilate kids?
00:17:12.220
These medical institutions don't have studies to support their practices.
00:17:18.100
This current generation is the guinea pig, the lab rats.
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.
00:17:35.840
They say, well, this organization said that we should do it, so we should.
00:17:43.860
His whole case comes down to, these people said we should castrate kids.
00:17:50.800
Well, the people who make billions of dollars doing it.
00:17:57.400
He also lies, of course, and misrepresents the data.
00:18:04.020
Parents with children who have gender dysphoria have lost children to suicide and depression.
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.
00:18:33.340
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?
00:18:45.620
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?
00:18:56.920
Can you say anything about it other than insisting that it exists?
00:19:07.860
And fortunately for you, your guests didn't call you out on that.
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.
00:19:48.200
All right, I would be remiss if I didn't just start off on our five headlines with the biggest headline of the day,
00:20:01.460
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,
00:20:28.080
And all of our lives would be dramatically different for the worse if Columbus never –
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.
00:20:52.740
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.
00:21:26.560
And all of this is happening on the part of people who are pathetic
00:21:32.200
and who have had no impact on history and won't.
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
00:21:49.820
You're not contributing anything to the world at all.
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.
00:22:19.380
You stay here, and you complain about and whine about
00:22:24.980
and gave you all of the things that you take for granted today.
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
00:22:48.600
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,
00:23:04.200
The clinic says they've done about five such gender-affirming
00:23:07.380
surgical procedures per year, which I don't believe.
00:23:13.460
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,
00:23:20.940
The letter addressed to Republican State Representative Jason
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,
00:23:39.480
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.
00:23:57.300
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.
00:24:07.380
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
00:24:27.160
well, all they're doing is saying they're going to comply with the law.
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
00:24:48.300
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.
00:25:02.160
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.
00:25:17.120
And especially conservative institutions, what few exist,
00:25:29.580
Okay, we didn't just, like, get lucky in this case.
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.
00:25:55.140
But to really capture people, you need to sort of tell the story of what you want them to know
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.
00:26:15.000
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.
00:26:28.900
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
00:26:44.740
You don't just hope that they'll have a change of heart.
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.
00:27:01.060
What we can't do, the mistake we can't make is to say, well, well, we won that.
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,
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,
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.
00:27:45.120
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.
00:27:57.280
It says, parents, if your son is an only son and the last male in your family to carry the family name,
00:28:08.060
Learn more about who needs to register at SSS.gov.
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
00:28:21.740
in some godforsaken corner of the globe that holds no worth to you or your family whatsoever,
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
00:28:41.300
So, yes, technically accurate, but why would you come out and say that?
00:28:47.660
And it seems confusing until you remember back to what we talked about a couple of weeks ago
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.
00:29:12.420
Just, hey, just letting you guys know, just reminding you that we can take your sons and kill them
00:29:17.440
and erase your family name and bloodline from history.
00:29:21.820
Why else would you come out and say it other than to demoralize people?
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
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,
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.
00:30:00.640
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
00:30:28.480
Individuals who are born female and change their gender to male
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
00:31:00.780
And I know there have even been some people on the right who've supported this,
00:31:10.900
And they say, oh, so you want to be treated like a man?
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?
00:31:23.780
feminist college professors and gender studies professors.
00:31:27.380
They're not the ones who are going to get drafted.
00:31:36.020
because you think that it proves some point to the feminists.
00:31:38.980
They're not the ones that are going to suffer and die.
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,
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
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,
00:32:30.840
So we don't know if that will ultimately go through or not,
00:32:41.140
then it's like, whatever, they're drafting everybody.
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
00:32:55.800
is a woman and should be treated that way always,
00:33:00.040
even to the point of being sent to a women's prison.
00:33:05.660
a male rapist should be sent to a women's prison,
00:33:12.860
And yet, the only time when it's not going to work,
00:33:25.580
that will not recognize your female self-identity
00:33:35.920
We're going to pretend you're a woman in every context,
00:33:38.120
including in contexts where it's going to hurt other,
00:34:12.660
And we're running out of time in the five headlines.
00:34:16.000
I want to mention this because it's kind of related.
00:34:18.860
author J.K. Rowling slammed the idea that she's right wing
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.
00:34:40.620
I say this as someone who's been on the liberal left
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
00:35:04.640
So she is once again reasserting her bona fides
00:35:11.060
We know obviously when she disavowed me a few months ago
00:35:19.100
I don't want to be on the same side as this guy.
00:35:40.720
And so you might say that she's got nothing to lose,
