The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1055 - Dwyane Wade Exposed For Exploiting His ‘Trans’ Kid

00:00:00.140 Today on the Matt Wall Show, former NBA star Dwayne Wade has been parading his trans kid,

00:00:05.300 quote unquote, around like a pet for two years now. But a new report reveals that the boy's

00:00:09.260 mother is not on board with this transition, and she believes that Wade is doing it for money and

00:00:13.880 attention. Imagine that. Also, the media comes up with its most absurd argument against voter ID,

00:00:18.980 yet the White House tries to defend its secret social media censorship campaign.

00:00:22.920 Caitlyn Jenner and Dylan Mulvaney get into a fight, and nobody wins. And a priest in Ireland

00:00:26.940 is thrown under the bus by his own bishop when he dares to defend Catholic teaching

00:00:31.140 during Mass, and you can't do that. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:44.580 Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out, and the team at Front Page

00:00:49.000 Magazine, they've been unmasking these totalitarians since the earliest days of the Internet, founded

00:00:53.320 by David Horowitz, a former red diaper baby, a new leftist who ultimately became an enemy of the

00:00:57.920 left and a best-selling author. Front Page Magazine has spent over two decades combating the radical

00:01:02.600 left's efforts to destroy America. Their two new podcasts, The Right Take with Mark Tapson and The

00:01:07.900 Jason Hill Show, offer riveting interviews and insightful coverage of politics, culture, and current

00:01:12.600 events. The Right Take with Mark Tapson offers fascinating, in-depth cultural commentary, as well as

00:01:18.560 interviews with well-known conservative thinkers like Heather MacDonald, Michael Walsh, and many

00:01:23.080 others. The Jason Hill Show offers thoughtful, deep dives about the ideologies of the radical left and

00:01:27.760 intellectuals, interviews with intellectuals like Peter Wood and Bruce Gilley. It takes a village to

00:01:33.180 combat the radical left's efforts to destroy America. That's why, as a fan of my show, you should

00:01:43.660 Dwayne Wade reached the end of his NBA career back in 2020. He had faded from the spotlight during the

00:01:51.040 previous few years, bouncing from team to team, averaging about 11 points a game towards the end,

00:01:55.320 which isn't great in the NBA for his position, just so you know. When he finally hobbled into

00:02:00.320 retirement, he faced the terrifying prospect of irrelevance. And it was at this exact moment

00:02:06.540 when, conveniently, his 12-year-old son came out as transgender. It's a very similar situation to,

00:02:14.160 like, when Colin Kaepernick was, right at the moment he got benched, he decided to become a

00:02:18.240 social justice advocate. And for Dwayne Wade, right at the moment when he washed out of the NBA,

00:02:22.520 he decided that he was going to do the same. Couldn't have planned it any better, really.

00:02:26.340 The moment his NBA career ended, he was able to make the jump into the very profitable business

00:02:31.280 of social justice activism. In fact, his supposedly trans son, who he now calls his daughter,

00:02:39.020 brought him more attention and generated more headlines than he was ever able to achieve

00:02:44.140 on his own, even during his prime playing days. So here's Wade, just to reminisce for a moment.

00:02:50.740 Here's Wade back in 2020, announcing his son's new identity to the world on the Ellen DeGeneres show.

00:02:57.000 So once Ziya, our 12-year-old, came home, and first Zion, everybody, I don't know if everyone 0.51

00:03:04.060 knows, originally named Zion. Zion born as a boy, came home and said, hey, so I want to talk to you

00:03:11.300 guys. You know, I think going forward, I'm ready to live my truth. And I want to be referenced as

00:03:19.500 she and her. I would love for you guys to call me Ziya. And so internally, now it's our job to,

00:03:26.360 one, go out and get information, to reach out to every relationship that we have. My wife reached 0.94

00:03:32.160 out to everybody on the cast of Pose. We're just trying to figure out as much information we can

00:03:37.880 to make sure that we give our child the best opportunity to be, you know, her best self.

00:03:42.460 That's his job as a parent, he says. His son comes home one day, announces that he's really a girl,

00:03:49.580 and his job as a father, he claims, is to immediately accept this statement as fact,

00:03:55.140 ask no follow-up questions, and follow the lead of the child blindly and without a hint of skepticism.

00:04:01.680 Not only that, but the father's next task is to apparently go on national television and announce

00:04:07.300 his 12-year-old's gender identity to the entire world. This is an important part of the affirmation

00:04:12.880 process, you see. Not only do you unquestioningly affirm whatever he says, but you also have to put

00:04:18.760 it on a billboard for the whole world to see, so that this identity that your child just adopted five

00:04:23.820 seconds ago will now be set in stone, cemented in place. From this point, Wade would go on to become

00:04:29.780 a prominent advocate of trans rights, and everywhere he went, he would be greeted with applause and

00:04:34.800 adulation. You know, he was just a washed-up NBA player before. He was facing a life as an ESPN

00:04:40.540 commentator, which is a lowly fate that anyone would be desperate to avoid. But now, with his

00:04:46.520 trans child, he found himself accepted, celebrated, beloved in the upper echelons of society in Hollywood.

00:04:54.020 Here he is on the red carpet earlier this year.

00:04:57.400 And I just have to thank you, because you've been amazing with your daughter.

00:05:00.580 Your daughter, it's pretty incredible. What keeps you going, fighting for her?

00:05:04.680 Just being, you know, just being a father, and just seeing our child grow up every day,

00:05:10.880 and doing what you're supposed to do as a parent, is to make sure that you sit back and,

00:05:15.280 you know, you see what it is in life that they want to do, and you try to go there with

00:05:19.100 them, and try to help them mold them into what it is they want to be, and who they want

00:05:22.260 to be. So, we're just doing our part, you know, as parents. And we love our kids, and we

00:05:27.140 get to see them every day. That's what people on the outside don't get to see, but we know

00:05:31.020 them, and we see them all the time. Yeah, and we believe them when they tell us who

00:05:34.340 they are. What do you say to a dad out there whose daughter has just come home and said,

00:05:39.820 I'm trans? What do you say to that dad? Well, I say the moment when you were in the

00:05:44.000 hospital, and you grabbed your daughter, and you looked at your daughter, and all the things

00:05:48.000 that went through your mind, all the emotions that went through your mind, and how much love

00:05:51.280 fills your heart at that moment. Don't let that ever leave you, no matter what. Like, the

00:05:55.920 one thing as parents, what we do is, we find our mini-mees, and we try to make them just like us.

00:06:00.160 But just understand, like, our kids are going to be who they are. It's our job to help mold

00:06:03.640 them, and help try to, you know, push them in the right places that they want to go. But

00:06:07.540 just remember that moment, what you said, in that hospital that day they were born.

00:06:13.800 Yes, Duane. Remember that moment in the hospital when your son was born. Your son. The doctor

00:06:20.360 identified him by, you know, by his sex. All human beings are identified this way, and that's

00:06:26.540 who he was, and that's who he still is. So remember that moment. Take your own advice.

00:06:31.140 At least that part of your advice. The rest of it is nonsense. He says that the job of 0.93

00:06:35.140 a father is to, and I quote, sit back and see what they want to do, and go there with

00:06:41.180 them. Now, I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is the worst parenting advice I have

00:06:45.580 ever heard in my entire life. It is quite literally the opposite of parenting. You know, a great way

00:06:52.480 to parent would be to listen to what Dwayne Wade is saying, and just adopt the opposite

00:06:57.660 approach. Just do the reverse of whatever the hell he is babbling about. Because if I parented

00:07:03.480 the way that he proposes, all of my kids would be dead right now. None of them would have made

00:07:07.960 it past the age of two if I sat back and went wherever they wanted to go and did whatever

00:07:14.240 they want to do. If that's how you're going to parent, then you aren't needed. You might as well

00:07:19.260 just abandon your kids in a forest somewhere. Let them fend for themselves. Maybe they'll

00:07:23.040 be adopted by a friendly pack of wolves. Honestly, Dwayne Wade's kids would have been better off

00:07:28.200 raised by wolves than raised by him. An actual parent, a real parent, is there to offer guidance

00:07:35.240 and wisdom and insight and direction and correction. That's the job of a parent. That is what you

00:07:41.920 are there for. And if your son comes up to you one day and reveals that he's confused about

00:07:47.080 his identity, he is in desperate need of guidance and wisdom and insight and direction and correction.

00:07:54.440 But he wasn't given what he was needed. Instead, his confusion was affirmed and then exploited.

00:08:01.380 And that's certainly the case that the boy's mother, Wade's ex-wife, is making now in court filings

00:08:07.340 from the Post Millennial. This was breaking news yesterday. It says, Wade's ex claims that Wade has

00:08:12.340 been exploiting Zaya, who, quote, came out as transgender at the age of 12. Siobhan Funchess-Wade 0.93

00:08:18.740 has now filed paperwork to ask a judge to hold off on the legal name change, saying that Zaya's modeling

00:08:24.380 contracts and influencer deals are Wade's impetus for forging ahead with the gender transition. 0.94

00:08:30.940 In the legal filing, Funchess-Wade states, quote, I have concerns that Dwayne may be pressuring our

00:08:35.880 child to move forward with the name and gender change in order to capitalize on the financial

00:08:40.100 opportunities that he has received from companies. Wade, who has had full custody since 2011 when

00:08:45.420 the divorce with Funchess-Wade went through, said in August when petitioning for the name change that

00:08:50.340 the child's mother was only informed as a courtesy. Funchess-Wade fought for four years to retain custody

00:08:56.060 of the children. She wants Zaya to wait until the age of 18 before making this change. She is the child

00:09:01.200 of both Wade's oldest children and is concerned that Zaya is being pressured into the changes by the

00:09:05.200 elder Wade who is, quote, poised to profit from Zaya's deals and sex change. To back up her claims, 1.00

00:09:11.360 Funchess-Wade said that she had a conversation with Wade in April during which he explained the extent

00:09:17.040 of the financial benefits of Zaya's sex change. She said, quote, he told me that he intended to make

00:09:22.720 our child very famous due to the name and gender issue and also informed me that there would be

00:09:27.820 endorsements and contracts associated therewith. I am concerned, she went on, that our child is being

00:09:34.380 commercialized at a young age and also is of the uncontrollable consequences of media exposure,

00:09:39.280 i.e. cyberbullying statements and or pictures taken out of context of our child and the unwanted

00:09:43.360 spotlight focused on our child. So in other words, Dwayne Wade is an abusive, evil monster and none of 0.93

00:09:52.620 this is new. In fact, the Dwayne Wade case is quite instructive. You know, it's symptomatic of 0.97

00:09:59.080 something which is, it raises a question which is, why is it that celebrities are so prone to having

00:10:06.480 trans kids? Have you noticed that? How do you explain the high concentration of trans kids, 1.00

00:10:11.580 quote, unquote, in Hollywood? Dwayne Wade, Charlize Theron, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jennifer Lopez,

00:10:16.460 Busy Phillips, the list goes on. It's because they use their kids as status symbols and there is no way

00:10:25.220 around that conclusion. In fact, even if it happened to be true that a kid could be, quote, trans and

00:10:33.740 that their transgenderism should be affirmed and both of those things are emphatically not true at all,

00:10:39.180 but even if it was, it would still be totally indefensible to make your child's gender transition

00:10:45.560 public. There's no benefit to your child in turning this into a public spectacle. If he's on a gender 1.00

00:10:52.440 journey, as you say, and if you actually wanted to give him space to be who he is, as you claim,

00:10:57.860 then you wouldn't be crowding the space with cameras and microphones. The only possible effect

00:11:04.760 of the publicity is to set this new identity in place. Now that you've made him into a leader,

00:11:10.920 right, into an LGBT icon, and you've got the endorsement deals rolling in, and there's a lot

00:11:16.740 of money on the line, and not only that, but in Dwayne Wade's son's case, like, he's making all this

00:11:22.740 money. Dwayne Wade doesn't have a job anymore, and so now I guess he's the breadwinner in the family.

00:11:28.640 He's going to feel like he's not able to switch back or detransition or have a change of heart,

00:11:32.940 and that, of course, is exactly why they do this. They are leading their children, it turns out.

00:11:41.660 You know, I wish that Dwayne Wade was merely sitting back passively and following his child's

00:11:47.140 lead. That would be bad parenting, but not as bad as what he's actually doing, because what he's

00:11:53.640 actually doing is actively leading his son into self-rejection, self-loathing, deeper and deeper

00:12:02.080 confusion. He has taken his son by his hand and guided him straight over the cliff and profited

00:12:10.320 from it the whole way down. It is, again, pure evil. He should be shamed for it and disgraced for

00:12:18.680 it, ostracized from society, arrested, you know, because this is abuse, but instead all he hears is

00:12:27.320 applause. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:13:51.140 a nice laugh. We are very much in the throw anything against the wall phase of the election

00:13:57.960 season. We've been in that phase for, I mean, like a decade or something. And so here is NBC

00:14:05.360 warning about voter ID laws and how they might disproportionately impact, wait for it, trans 1.00

00:14:12.940 people. Let's listen. As Gen Z gears up to hit the polls, transgender voters are concerned

00:14:18.780 they might be blocked from casting their ballots. Yeah, that's because a growing number of states

00:14:23.000 are enforcing stricter voter identification laws that disproportionately impact the community.

00:14:27.900 NBC Out reporter Joe Yerkeba joins us now with more on this. Joe, good morning to you. So first of all,

00:14:31.820 how can voter ID laws create obstacles for transgender people? And where do we see some of

00:14:36.900 the strictest voter ID laws? Sure. Yeah. So voter ID laws disproportionately impact trans people

00:14:43.640 because trans people are more likely to have IDs without the name that they go by and the gender

00:14:48.900 marker that reflects how they present. And recent research shows that just over 200,000 eligible trans

00:14:54.840 voters in 31 states that both conduct their elections mostly in person and require or request ID at the

00:15:01.740 polls don't have IDs that reflect their gender identities and the names they go by. And, you

00:15:07.520 know, the states that have the strictest voter ID laws are mostly concentrated in the South and

00:15:11.840 Midwest. So you're, you know, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Kansas. So voters there are going to be most affected.

00:15:18.740 Hmm. Yeah, this is a fun game. You know, just spin the wheel and find out what trans people are 1.00

00:15:24.280 disproportionately impacted by. Throw a dart at the board and, you know, trans people are disproportionately

00:15:29.340 impacted by car accidents. Trans people are disproportionately impacted by tornadoes. Trans 1.00

00:15:35.440 people are disproportionately impacted by falling into volcanoes. Trans people are disproportionately

00:15:40.960 impacted by death because when a trans person dies, they're really super dead as opposed to when other 1.00

00:15:48.320 people die and they're less dead. So trans people are disproportionately impacted by everything. And this is

00:15:53.920 even sillier considering that you can actually change your gender and your name on your 1.00

00:15:59.260 driver's license in all 50 states. You shouldn't be able to do that. Okay. If I was in charge,

00:16:04.300 you would not be able to do that, but you can. So you can actually do that. So what we're talking

00:16:09.680 about here are lazy trans people who want to identify as a different name and a different gender, 0.93

00:16:15.060 but don't feel like filing the paperwork. Like they don't feel like going to the DMV, 0.86

00:16:19.560 but they also want to retain the right to be offended when they have to show their ID and somebody

00:16:24.800 sees their biological gender on it, even though they chose not to change it. They could do it.

00:16:31.320 They just don't feel like it because they're lazy. And, and, and that's a, that now becomes a

00:16:36.180 violation of their rights. But I do appreciate this because it highlights once again, how just

00:16:41.260 completely absurd the voter ID complaints actually are. The left has not been able to come up with an

00:16:48.460 argument against showing your ID to vote. They're against it, but they don't know why, at least they

00:16:54.340 don't have a public facing argument. I mean, they do know why they're against it. They're against it

00:16:58.460 because, uh, they're, they're opposed to voter ID because voter ID makes it harder to cheat.

00:17:04.900 And that's why they don't want it. I mean, that is the, that's, that is really the only reason you

00:17:09.000 could be against it is if you, you want to cheat and it's going to make it harder for you to do so,

00:17:13.820 but they can't, they can't make that argument publicly. And so maybe eventually they will,

00:17:18.440 we might get to the point where they are openly defending cheating because on the basis that it's

00:17:24.560 the only way to save democracy. So we're not quite at that point yet. So they can't say that. So

00:17:29.580 that, so instead they're left with arguing that, um, black people don't know how to get driver's 0.95

00:17:34.140 licenses and don't know where the DMV is and have no way to figure it out. And the trans people are 1.00

00:17:38.820 traumatized by having to present an ID that they didn't feel like taking the time

00:17:43.320 to change. And it's also a part of this very familiar pattern of trans people acting victimized

00:17:52.260 by their own choices. So the trans person says, well, I have a, I identify as a female, but it says, 0.92

00:17:57.980 but I haven't, but my ID says male and it'll make me feel bad to have to present that. What am I

00:18:03.180 supposed to do? Well, I don't know. That's that. I mean, that's your problem. That's your fault.

00:18:07.660 That's, that's your own choice. There's like a series of choices that have led you. You chose

00:18:12.320 to try to identify as a different sex. You chose not to get your, your ID changed. And now that's 0.89

00:18:18.500 our problem. Like now we can't protect the integrity of our voting process because of this problem that

00:18:23.840 you created for yourself. How is that my issue? It's the same thing when you hear from trans people 1.00

00:18:28.320 that say, well, you know, that someone, a trans person, a man, let's say, who, uh, thinks anyway,

00:18:36.300 that he's passing as a female and because maybe he's gotten surgery or whatever. And then says,

00:18:41.160 well, look at me, you think that I should have to go into the men's restroom? How am I going to go

00:18:46.140 into the men's restroom looking like this? I don't, that's your, that was your choice. That's,

00:18:51.720 that's not my problem. I don't know what to tell you. You made the choice to, you got the surgery,

00:18:57.520 you're dressing the way you dress. That's all your decision. And so you, yes, you have not put

00:19:03.440 yourself in an awkward spot when it comes to the bathrooms because you don't belong in the women's 1.00

00:19:06.820 bathroom. Um, but you would be a little conspicuous in the men's bathroom. I don't know what to tell 0.82

00:19:13.980 you. It's not my problem and it's not the problem. It shouldn't be the problem of the actual women 1.00

00:19:19.260 who are in their restrooms and don't want a man in there. So you're going to people who have nothing 0.99

00:19:24.560 to do with the choices you made and expecting them to solve a problem that you created for yourself.

00:19:32.140 That's just not how it works, or at least it's not how it should. It shouldn't work that way.

00:19:35.240 Anyway. All right. Some news on the free speech front. Elon Musk has given more details about his

00:19:41.680 plans for content moderation. He tweeted this, talk to civil society leaders, Jonathan Greenblatt,

00:19:47.080 Yale Eisenstadt, Rashad Robinson, Jessica Gonzalez, Norman Chen, Derek Johnson, Ken Hirsch,

00:19:52.980 Sidney Benavides, about how Twitter will continue to combat hate and harassment and enforce

00:19:57.620 its election integrity policies. Twitter will not allow anyone who is deplatformed for violating

00:20:03.080 Twitter rules back on the platform until we have a clear process for doing so, which will take at

00:20:07.120 least a few more weeks. Twitter's content moderation council will include representatives with widely

00:20:11.720 divergent views, which will certainly include the civil rights community and groups who face hate

00:20:15.800 fueled violence. Okay. I'm not, I'm not going to claim that the Elon Musk takeover of Twitter is a

00:20:23.720 bust at this point. He just got in there. Um, it's very early, right? We need to give him time to figure

00:20:30.660 it out. So I can understand all of that, but this also isn't a good sign. Maybe we could say, um, it is a,

00:20:39.400 it's a bad sign because he had a little group chat about content moderation and hate fueled violence.

00:20:47.560 Every single person in the conversation was a leftist, every single one. And not just like,

00:20:54.700 we're not talking about a Bill Maher esque liberals. Okay. We're talking about far leftists,

00:21:00.740 every single one included. These are people with the ADL, the NAACP, other leftist advocacy groups.

00:21:05.940 So he says widely divergent views, but the views, uh, that, that are in that group there,

00:21:12.580 they diverge on the spectrum between extremely left wing and really, really extremely left wing.

00:21:19.580 Like that's, that's the, the spectrum of divergent views that he's, has assembled so far. And that is,

00:21:26.120 um, that's pretty concerning now, again, still early, but it's something we should keep an eye on.

00:21:33.660 Um, and you know, if you really want to hear about the impact of harassment and hate and, um, uh,

00:21:41.420 death threats and all of that on the platform, then you need to talk to conservatives and especially

00:21:47.020 in particular, you need to talk to conservatives who have faced the wrath of the trans activists

00:21:52.740 because the trans activists are far and away without even a close second, the most vicious 0.79

00:21:59.420 and vile people on social media. Um, and there is just no rule of decency or, and no law that they 0.81

00:22:07.160 respect or will abide by. They just do not care about any of that. I know this from experience.

00:22:14.580 Um, and, and, you know, it's like people are always talking about the, you know, people always

00:22:20.060 talking about death threats. Anytime a leftist says anything, it's a little bit of criticism.

00:22:23.820 I'm getting death threats all over the place. And, you know, maybe in some cases they're right,

00:22:27.940 but I, but I think very often this is exaggerated. What I can tell you though, is that death threats,

00:22:33.160 death wishes, you know, things like that, doxing and all of that. When I talk about that from the

00:22:38.000 trans activists, um, it is 100% not an exaggeration. This is just, it is guaranteed to happen when you go 1.00

00:22:44.040 up against these people. So if you're really interested in having a, uh, uh, having a full conversation

00:22:52.200 about this problem, you need to bring people in who've experienced that part of it. And so far

00:22:57.940 he hasn't, but hopefully it does. Meanwhile, the white house responded to the intercept report about,

00:23:02.060 uh, DHS using social media companies to suppress speech. And I guess we could call this a response

00:23:07.760 such as this. Here it is. There was a reporting in the intercept about opportunities for the federal

00:23:16.420 government to identify, uh, for social media companies, different posts that contains, uh, what was

00:23:23.960 perceived as misinformation about the origins of COVID, the vaccine, uh, other things as well, you know,

00:23:30.000 such as Ukraine or the U S withdrawal from Afghanistan. Yeah. I, so, um, look, I'll say this, um, the,

00:23:38.620 the administration, um, the Biden administration remains fully, uh, committed to our mission to protect

00:23:44.440 the security and resilience of our, um, of, of our, you know, elections and safeguard election

00:23:50.480 infrastructure. That includes combat, combating disinformation. That is something that, uh, we are

00:23:54.940 committed to, um, you know, we work to protect that, uh, protect Americans from disinformation that

00:24:00.680 threatens the homeland, including malicious efforts spread by foreign adverse, um, adversaries,

00:24:07.460 uh, adversaries, sorry, pardon me, began before the disinformation governance board was established.

00:24:13.300 In fact, some of that work, uh, began before this, uh, administration. So, uh, you know, I want,

00:24:18.780 I want to be very clear that cross agency work continues to this day. Uh, don't want to,

00:24:23.820 don't want to get ahead of, uh, of anything else. This is a department of Homeland security. So I would

00:24:28.500 refer you to them. So you are flagging, uh, misinformation. I don't have anything more to add.

00:24:34.400 This is a department of, of Homeland security that I refer you to adversaries. Got to watch out for

00:24:41.040 them gut dang adversaries. You know, we've talked plenty about why the government shouldn't be in

00:24:47.220 the business of, uh, policing what it deems misinformation or disinformation, but I want to

00:24:53.920 point out one other thing, which, which I'm not sure if, uh, if we've really taken note of to the

00:24:59.400 extent that we should. So you know, notice the confidence on the left. They want to give the

00:25:06.260 government and governmental agencies, this, this power over information to decide, to decide what

00:25:14.740 is misinformation, disinformation, and then to suppress it, which is just a profound, uh, power

00:25:22.360 that they want to grant the government. The government's already granted itself this power.

00:25:26.700 So they want to do this and they're not worried about what'll happen if Republicans take over the

00:25:34.980 government. They're not worried about if Republicans win in 2024. I mean, think about that. They,

00:25:39.080 they tell us that Donald Trump is, uh, is a, is an existential threat to democracy. He's a fascist. 1.00

00:25:44.140 He's Hitler and all these things. And they're also very worried that he'll run and win in 2024. 0.68

00:25:50.660 And yet at the same time, they are expanding every moment, the, the scope and power of the federal

00:25:59.020 government, knowing that Donald Trump might be in charge of that in a couple of years.

00:26:05.260 So how do you, how do you make sense of that? They aren't worried about these powers being used

00:26:10.320 against them. Why is that? Well, for one thing, for all their talk about fascism, you know, they

00:26:16.680 actually know that Republicans wouldn't do many of the things that they do. Okay. So they, they know

00:26:23.180 that even if Republicans could, they wouldn't go behind the scenes to social media companies and

00:26:29.000 give them a list of leftist talking points and leftist ideas that they want erased from the

00:26:34.000 internet. They, they know the Republicans aren't going that they know that's the kind of thing that

00:26:37.760 only they will do. So that's part of their confidence. The other thing though, is that they know that

00:26:44.360 they as leftists are so deeply embedded into the system, into the government, into these agencies,

00:26:52.680 that it doesn't matter who's in the white house or who's in Congress. They know that we saw that

00:26:59.540 in 2016 through 2020 with Donald Trump, you know, he had the entire federal government against him.

00:27:06.980 And so it almost didn't really matter what he did or what he said is while they were doing all their

00:27:11.280 hand wringing and being chicken littles running around saying the sky is falling. It actually didn't

00:27:14.940 like matter that much. And then when Donald Trump left, whatever, whatever, I can't even say that

00:27:22.300 we've made that much progress was even made, but whatever progress was made, it was all just

00:27:25.480 reversed immediately. It's just four years wiped out about five seconds, partly through executive

00:27:32.140 orders. And also partly just because the federal agencies were always in the hands of the Democrats.

00:27:38.480 The only thing they couldn't reverse are the Supreme court picks, although they would like to,

00:27:42.540 they're trying to dilute that by expanding the court or abolish the Supreme court and ending this

00:27:47.340 nonsense. That was the only thing they couldn't take away. Everything else just, it's gone. Just like that.

00:27:51.540 And, and they know that. And so that's, that's the confidence that they, that they have.

00:27:58.080 All right. I haven't mentioned anything about this. There's this, maybe you've heard about this cat

00:28:02.380 fight between two males, Dylan Mulvaney and Caitlyn Jenner. A little background on this.

00:28:08.520 Mulvaney did, and I'm not even going to play it for you because even I have my limits for the grotesque 0.55

00:28:13.240 things that I'll subject you to, but he did one of his grotesque, ridiculous days of girlhood videos

00:28:18.460 where he talked about going to the store in tight pants and having a bulge, you know, because he has 1.00

00:28:25.400 a penis because he's a man. He wants to be a woman, but his penis was visible through his shorts. And 1.00

00:28:32.120 this is what he was doing a video about this. And he said that this is why we have to normalize the

00:28:38.540 bulge for women. That was his, that's his, you know, campaign slogan. That's the banner that he's

00:28:45.120 marching under. Now Jenner responded to this by saying, let's not normalize any of what this

00:28:52.020 person is doing. This is absurdity. And then in a follow-up, he said, he's talking about his penis,

00:28:58.840 which I mean, pointed to the obvious there. Thanks for that Jenner. Now this led to lots of outrage on 0.99

00:29:04.420 the left. And, uh, you know, because Jenner is calling it absurd, but also because Jenner quote,

00:29:09.360 misgendered Dylan Mulvaney referred to him as a, as a guy. Um, and Mulvaney responded to that. We'll

00:29:16.200 play a little bit of, of, uh, this. This is, this one's a little bit safe. I don't think you start

00:29:19.700 talking about his bulge here, but you never know what this guy. So let's watch a little bit of this.

00:29:24.140 Days of transitioning and remember being embarrassed about your body or having strangers give you dirty

00:29:30.860 looks. That's why I made that video because I was embarrassed and I wanted to reclaim my body in a

00:29:37.000 positive way. And now you've taken that and you've turned it into something really ugly.

00:29:42.520 And I didn't start days of girlhood because being a woman sounded fun. I started this series because

00:29:48.720 of the unspoken shame of being newly trans. I still have so much to learn. And we come from very

00:29:56.280 different generations and you're so much farther along in your journey than I am, but I have cheered

00:30:01.240 you on from the second you came out truly. And I'm so happy that you've had the surgeries that

00:30:06.800 you've desired, but I'm 25 years old and I am on day 233. I can't even get bottom surgery right now

00:30:13.300 if I wanted to. I haven't been on hormones long enough. And this whole situation makes me not want

00:30:19.340 to share my surgical plans because there are so many trans women who don't have access to it or 0.99

00:30:25.300 they don't want it. And it doesn't make them any less of a woman. You know, funny enough, one of the 1.00

00:30:31.020 only things that we do have in common is that I'm going to one of your surgeons. You know, I'm just,

00:30:36.140 I'm not as far along as you. Please be patient. And, you know, now that I think about it, I don't

00:30:44.160 even think I have interest in getting to know you because the way you use your platform to publicly

00:30:50.260 degrade me, it told me everything I needed to know about you. And a trans person invalidating 1.00

00:30:56.900 another trans person's transness is pretty evil in my eyes. Like the call is coming from inside the 1.00

00:31:01.980 house. It's coming off very selfish. You know, is no one else allowed to be trans? I for one am

00:31:08.500 excited to welcome anyone into our community because I know how isolating it can be. In this

00:31:14.320 whole situation, it feels like the movie Mean Girls. I mean, Halloween is right around the corner.

00:31:18.860 So there's a costume idea for us, I guess. I don't know. I digress. But you've been accepted,

00:31:23.700 like, you've been accepted by a group of people that clearly does not accept me.

00:31:27.600 All right, show up, Dylan. And nearly every day.

00:31:30.060 Yeah, it's very isolating. It's very isolating for Dylan Mulvaney to be a girl, supposedly,

00:31:37.380 for 45 seconds and to be greeted with, you know, adulation and applause and corporate sponsorships

00:31:46.000 and brand deals and, you know, invited to speak at women's summits. It feels very isolating and alone.

00:31:53.700 Isolating and alone to be an actual woman, maybe. I could see that as being isolated,

00:32:00.920 making you feel isolated and lonely when you're an actual woman and you've been living as one

00:32:06.040 because you are one your entire life. And then this guy comes along and just jumps to the front

00:32:12.380 of every single line. Well, yesterday, Jenner responded by apologizing for misgendering Mulvaney.

00:32:20.060 He tweeted,

00:32:21.160 An individual on Ms. Jenner's team haphazardly misgendered Dylan in the tweet he is talking 0.99

00:32:26.620 about his penis. For this, we deeply regret the comment and have taken the appropriate actions

00:32:31.180 to rectify the situation internally. Ms. Jenner has no further comment on the matter

00:32:36.000 and stands by her statements otherwise. Right, someone on his team. Well, he is on his own team,

00:32:43.560 so I guess that's accurate. You see, once again, this is why Caitlyn Jenner never should have been

00:32:53.960 embraced by conservatives because that's the real story here. And I've seen some conservatives

00:32:58.820 respond as defending Jenner. He deserves no defense. Really, this is a story about the moron conservatives,

00:33:08.840 the idiots who embrace this guy, and they just look dumber and dumber every single day. 1.00

00:33:16.340 Never should have been embraced by conservatives. He is not a good advocate on this issue or on any 1.00

00:33:21.420 issue, but especially on this one. Okay, to use the leftist terminology, he is not an ally.

00:33:29.100 So these idiot conservatives think, well, if we have a trans person come in and criticize the trans 1.00

00:33:35.720 agenda, well, that's the Trump card right there. That's the ace up our sleeves. 1.00

00:33:41.640 No, that's the last person who can criticize the trans agenda is someone who's actively promoting it. 0.67

00:33:49.500 You know what it's like? It's like if you want to do a news segment, if you want to do a television

00:33:53.200 segment about the problems of drunk driving, and so you have someone come on the air who is currently

00:33:59.100 drunk and drove to the studio, and you have him come on to talk about the danger of drunk driving.

00:34:04.100 That is the worst advocate, or that's the worst person to talk about this issue, especially if 0.98

00:34:10.560 he's talking about it by, you know, you have this drunk bastard coming on criticizing other drunk 0.99

00:34:16.660 people. Okay, this is not someone you want to, you want to have, if you want someone to come on TV 0.96

00:34:22.220 and, you know, extol the virtues of moderation, it shouldn't be an actively drunk person.

00:34:28.100 Now, you want to bring someone on who is a recovering alcoholic, used to be an alcoholic,

00:34:34.020 has gotten past it, and is recovering, and can talk about, retrospectively talk about what it was

00:34:41.940 like to be an alcoholic, you know, as someone who experienced it and got past it. That's different.

00:34:47.120 Just like if you want to talk about, if you want, you want to talk about the transgender agenda,

00:34:54.140 yeah, and bring on a detrans person, someone who was in that life and managed to get out of it and 1.00

00:35:00.340 can talk about it again, retrospectively. Well, that's a great advocate, but not someone who is

00:35:07.780 actively in it right now and promoting it, which Jenner is. Refers to him himself in the tweet as

00:35:15.700 Ms. Jenner. Because you know what? You're putting the other side in a position where they're right.

00:35:21.800 What Dylan Mulvaney said there, most of that is, like, basically right from, from, from Caitlyn

00:35:27.500 Jenner's perspective. He's right about that. Because basically what he's saying is, wait a second,

00:35:32.300 if you get to be a woman, like, why can't I? Like, where do you come off calling me a he,

00:35:39.460 and yet you expect us to call you she? How does that work? He's, he's actually right 0.99

00:35:45.640 about that. That's what a brilliant advocate Caitlyn Jenner is. He puts us in a position

00:35:50.600 where we have to, he gets into an argument with a guy like Dylan Mulvaney, and Dylan Mulvaney is

00:35:55.860 right. He put, he gives this, this, be careful the words I use. He gives this individual the

00:36:02.780 opportunity to be right about something. That's how terrible Caitlyn Jenner is. That's not going to

00:36:10.480 stop, yeah, he's a Fox News contributor. He's got to stop Fox from bringing him on.

00:36:14.440 The worst possible person. All right. What else do we got? This is a few other things. We have to

00:36:22.560 get to the comment section in a second. I also wanted to, maybe I'll mention this. Yahoo has

00:36:28.200 this story. It says, we've heard a little bit about Happy Meals recently. There's been a little

00:36:33.080 bit of Happy Meal talk on the show for whatever reason. Happy Meals have entered the culture war.

00:36:37.580 Not that I want them to, but that's just the way that it's worked out.

00:36:42.580 So Yahoo reports, hot on the heels of the Boo Buckets promotion, McDonald's announced the release

00:36:48.360 of its new Happy Meal toys, figurines based off characters from Black Panther Wakanda Forever,

00:36:54.560 which heads to theaters November 11th. There are 10 toys in total, all of them characters from the new

00:36:58.980 Marvel movie. These might seem like ordinary toys, but they continue a quiet theme that has run through

00:37:05.920 all of the fast food chain's recent promotions. Representation. Very important. It's very important

00:37:12.840 to be represented by a Happy Meal toy because that's what we all look for in life. That's what

00:37:20.980 we want to see. That's how we find our own guiding light in life is in a Happy Meal box. And it can be

00:37:27.100 very traumatic when you pull the toy out of the Happy Meal box and you don't see yourself reflected in it.

00:37:32.820 That's what I want. When I get a Happy Meal for my children, I want to make sure that I am

00:37:36.720 personally reflected in the Happy Meal toys themselves. In its announcement of the new Happy

00:37:43.480 Meal toys, McDonald's explains that the Wakanda Forever lineup gives everyone the chance to see

00:37:48.360 and celebrate their inner hero. The first Black Panther movie set a whole new standard of representation

00:37:53.620 on screen. And now we're excited to bring that experience to our restaurants and help fans see

00:37:58.960 and celebrate their inner hero with this new Happy Meal toy. Because seeing is believing.

00:38:05.040 Jeez. Good God. First of all, I cannot understand. I'm being somewhat rhetorical when I say that. But

00:38:13.740 why are we pretending that Black Panther was like the first movie with black people in it?

00:38:19.980 It's this desperate attempt to turn it into some kind of historically significant glass ceiling

00:38:28.940 breaking moment. What? Have you seen no movies in the last 40 years? What are you talking about?

00:38:37.660 It's not even the first black superhero. So what is the significance here exactly?

00:38:43.520 And then on top of that too, it's just, you see how like everything is designed to encourage

00:38:53.520 narcissism. You know, it's like you can't enjoy anything for its own sake anymore. It's always

00:38:58.940 about yourself. Even right down to damned Happy Meal toys and stupid superhero movies. Because what's 1.00

00:39:06.360 the marketing promotion here? Well, it's all about celebrating you and your inner hero. Why would Black 1.00

00:39:11.080 Panther be about celebrating you or your inner hero? Isn't Black Panther about the character Black

00:39:17.300 Panther? Aren't you watching it to see that story unfold? But no, you're actually watching it so that

00:39:23.460 you can see yourself as the hero on the screen. It's really all about you. So you're not enjoying a story

00:39:30.520 anymore. No one enjoys the story. Because really, it's all about themselves. And when you watch a movie,

00:39:37.660 it's like you want to really, you're just staring into a, your reflection in the mirror.

00:39:42.240 Everything is, everything is focused back to the self. Um, it's just, uh, every part of it is

00:39:49.320 ridiculous. But at least as far as I know that these are, these are Happy Meals for kids anyway. So 0.69

00:39:54.400 they've gotten away from the adult Happy Meal thing. Although I'm sure there are plenty of adults

00:39:57.460 who go and disgrace themselves by buying these things. Uh, let's get to the comment section.

00:40:02.040 Uh, let's see. Hi, I've been watching your Daily Wire show for a while. Today was no exception.

00:40:17.000 You rightfully canceled Anne Hathaway, but I want to offer this as a concept. When I was a state

00:40:20.460 representative, we debated abortion. I posed a question the other side couldn't answer. Uh,

00:40:25.400 if you're wrong on abortion, what does that get you? And if I'm wrong, what happens? Of course,

00:40:29.480 the answer is if I'm wrong, you have a beautiful baby. Yeah. This is what I've called the Pascal's

00:40:34.400 wager of the abortion debate, you know, um, because, uh, it's, if we are wrong about the abortion issue

00:40:42.460 and we succeed in stopping abortion in many places, which we have, then the end result of our wrongness

00:40:50.420 is that lots of people are living who would not otherwise have been allowed to live. That's,

00:40:55.500 that's the end result of us being wrong. It's also the end result of us being right.

00:40:59.480 But if the other side is wrong, right, the end result is that millions of human beings

00:41:07.040 are dead. If they're right. So if the pro-abortion side is right, then that, that means that a bunch 0.86

00:41:11.880 of clumps of cells were discarded and it doesn't mean anything if they're right, which they aren't,

00:41:16.400 but if they were, but what I'm saying is that if they're wrong, the consequence of their wrongness

00:41:22.860 is mass slaughter on an unthinkable scale. So worst case for the pro-life side, if they're wrong,

00:41:30.140 is that there's a whole bunch of people that are, that lived and wouldn't. Worst case scenario on the

00:41:34.820 pro-abortion side is that you've got, uh, you've got the Holocaust times 10, you know, that's happened 0.83

00:41:41.460 over the last several decades. And this argument is important because even the most hard line pro-abortion 0.80

00:41:47.460 people will usually admit a certain amount of uncertainty. They don't know when life begins.

00:41:53.080 They're not going to say when it begins. They won't answer that question. And they always just,

00:41:56.740 remember Barack Obama infamously said, it's above my pay grade to answer that question. They all give

00:42:00.620 an answer similar to that, which means that even according to them, they could be wrong, which means

00:42:06.460 that they, by their own logic, they at least could be supporting, promoting, encouraging the mass

00:42:13.420 slaughter of human beings, which would be reason enough to be pro-life. That's, that's the interesting

00:42:21.020 point here is that you don't eat. You don't need to have a firm answer on when life begins to be

00:42:28.000 firmly pro-life. Now I do have a firm answer, but you don't need to. All you need to know is that it's

00:42:34.680 at least plausible that life begins at conception. It's at least plausible that life begins at conception,

00:42:41.240 which means, which, which leaves open the door of possibility that if you support abortion,

00:42:45.500 you are supporting, uh, genocide. And I don't know about you, but I don't, I don't want,

00:42:54.520 I wouldn't want even the possibility that I'm supporting genocide. Let's see. Bradley Williams

00:43:01.920 says, Matt, as a black man that grew up in the hood in the late nineties and early two thousands,

00:43:06.240 I appreciate you covering this topic because gangsta slash street slash trap rap music has been a

00:43:10.700 problem in the last 30 years since the rise of death row records in the early nineties.

00:43:14.260 White liberals literally told us and forced us to believe that this is black culture and it's not.

00:43:21.880 Another similar comment. Sins Witty says, I got lost in hip hop for years. Having an absent father,

00:43:27.060 I gravitated towards the anger and pain of 1990s rap. I became obsessed with it, started rapping and

00:43:32.380 adopted the culture. I still love hip hop, but only as a fully functioning adult do I understand the

00:43:36.180 issues with diving too deep into an, into an angry source of art. You have to listen and learn from

00:43:42.160 mistakes that they're making in their music, not following their footsteps. By the way, I'm still

00:43:46.200 an ill rapper. Um, yeah, it's anger. It's, it's not just angry music and, and, you know, rap was not the

00:43:54.100 first, uh, example of angry music to come along, obviously, but it's angry. It's degraded. Uh, and that's not the

00:44:03.580 case, like, you know, it's not the case necessarily for every single rap song that's ever been made.

00:44:09.780 Uh, because at its, at its, at its fundamental level, I mean, rap is, you know, supposed to,

00:44:15.300 I suppose, be poetry set to music. That's what it's supposed to be. It's very lyrical. It's beat

00:44:19.920 heavy. And that's, uh, that's what it is. And there's no reason why that, you know, performing a

00:44:26.280 song which is very lyrically heavy. And, um, there's a beat in the background. There's no reason why that

00:44:31.780 is like inherently immoral or something. Of course it's not. Um, but that just makes what,

00:44:38.060 what rap has become. It just makes it all the more, uh, outrageous and infuriating going back

00:44:44.400 to the first comment. Like it doesn't, it doesn't need to be this way. It didn't have to become this.

00:44:49.160 There's no reason why it has to be this, but this is the decision that was made and it was made at,

00:44:54.000 uh, at the highest levels, you know, in, in the music industry, because this is the most profitable.

00:44:58.380 This is what they could sell. This is the culture they could sell. Uh, Eric Wade says,

00:45:03.980 love your show, Matt. I watch every day a year into marriage. My wife and I learned

00:45:07.540 that she was medically incapable of conceiving or bearing children. One of my coworkers said,

00:45:12.580 uh, that he would have filed for an annulment because he couldn't consider himself a real man

00:45:16.980 if he hadn't sired children. I didn't find him particularly impressive as a person. He was a

00:45:20.900 career desk jockey and his kids were nothing special. They're probably all majoring in gender studies. 0.87

00:45:24.780 As I write, I enjoyed your testosterone blinkered blue pill, normie reminder, Matt. It's always

00:45:30.120 amusing for a 30 year veteran like myself who faithfully served his country in some of the

00:45:34.300 world's most awful places to be told that he's not masculine enough. So I guess I might as well

00:45:38.200 shave daily from now on. Apparently I'm not man enough to crawl among your sweet baby gang. By the 1.00

00:45:42.440 way, the term manosphere was coined by mostly apolitical thought leaders in the early days

00:45:46.700 of, uh, men go their own way. It simply refers to men in a context that doesn't focus on women.

00:45:51.800 Okay. Eric, this is what frustrates me because if I, if I, if I make a general statement

00:45:55.880 and then I say that there are exceptions because there are of course exceptions to

00:46:00.620 most general statements. And if you are an exception, then why are you offended?

00:46:05.920 If you look at that and say, well, that's not the case for me. Okay. Well then it's not the case

00:46:10.360 for you. I didn't, I didn't say, uh, Eric Wade. This is, this is true of Eric Wade. I know I don't

00:46:17.000 know you. I don't know who you are. And so if I'm making a general kind of observation, which is that

00:46:22.360 most men are called to the, the, the vocation of fatherhood, but not all, you know, if that's the

00:46:30.760 general statement I'm making, which I, I mean, would, do you even disagree with that? Would you

00:46:34.980 disagree? Or do you think that a majority of men should not be fathers? So you're, you're, I mean,

00:46:40.120 are you advocating for essentially the extinction of the human race? Because that's what it would be.

00:46:44.300 So I assume you don't advocate for that, which means you agree with my general statement,

00:46:50.340 yet you're still taking offense. Why? I then said that even men who are not called

00:46:56.480 to have biological children are still called to a life of paternal service in some other capacity.

00:47:03.700 So you've just, you've skipped over that part of it. So in fact, I, yeah, I do think that every man

00:47:08.220 is called to fatherhood. For most men, that's going to be fatherhood in the traditional biological sense

00:47:14.200 of the term, but not for every man. There are, there are other ways to be a father. I gave one

00:47:19.860 example, which is the religious life. It's not the only example, but that's what every man is called

00:47:24.460 to do. A life of paternal service in some capacity, which is just another way of saying that no man is 0.93

00:47:30.200 meant to live a life entirely focused on himself and serving only himself. No man is supposed to live

00:47:35.540 a life like that. Now you're telling me that you, uh, have a 30 year veteran. So you obviously have

00:47:42.020 not lived a life like that, a life that is focused entirely on serving the self. So again, it's all

00:47:46.280 the more reason why you're in, why, uh, you, uh, you know, you, you fall into the, this, the, the,

00:47:54.060 the second general statement, which is that all men are called to a life of service.

00:47:57.320 So I'm just not sure why, what the issue is here. Um, okay. Kim says this logic can be applied to

00:48:05.880 all media, including action movies. Not everything has to be about the culture war. These young men

00:48:09.620 were tragically murdered simply for being at the wrong place in time. Well, that's strange. It's a

00:48:13.640 weird coincidence, isn't it? Rappers are constantly at the wrong place in the wrong time while country

00:48:18.520 stars are like, they never have that problem. Pure luck, I guess. Or maybe the genre openly advocates

00:48:25.920 criminality and violence and the rappers themselves live lives of criminality and violence in a culture

00:48:31.440 of criminality and violence. And that's how they so wind, so often wind up in the wrong place

00:48:36.960 because the entire culture that they exist in and have helped to create is wrong. There's that

00:48:43.980 possibility. And finally, lady studio says, write a book about violence, thumbs up, write a movie about

00:48:50.420 violence, thumbs up, write a country song about violence, thumbs up, write pop songs about violence,

00:48:54.420 thumbs up, write rap songs about violence, you're glorifying violence. Rap, rap, rap, rock, and metal

00:49:00.960 are the only genres deemed unacceptable when they have lyrics about violence. Well, this is just really

00:49:06.880 stupid, I'm afraid to say. First of all, as we had talked about, um, these forms of media are not all 0.99

00:49:14.080 created equal. They are different and they, they affect us in different ways. You know, a song can totally

00:49:21.560 change your mood in like 90 seconds. Okay. That's how quickly it works. A book can't do that. Even

00:49:29.880 movies and shows can't do that to the same extent. I mean, they can affect your mood, any kind, any form

00:49:34.320 of media can, but, but, uh, they're not going to do this quickly and efficiently and with the same kind

00:49:39.960 of power that a song does. And I'm not just talking about moods here. Um, but I'm simply pointing out

00:49:45.380 the power that music has to sway us, to move us. And it's silly to deny that. Also these rap songs,

00:49:53.400 they're not just about violence. Okay. Over the weekend, I watched all quiet on the Western front

00:49:58.900 on Netflix, which is an excellent film, highly recommended. And it is about violence, at least

00:50:04.860 in part, it's about world war one and the hopeless brutality that these young men endured. It's, it's about

00:50:11.060 that. It, um, shows that it portrays that it's not promoting it. It's not glorifying it quite the

00:50:17.480 opposite. It's actually an anti-war film. And so you don't leave the film itching to go jump into a,

00:50:25.520 you know, a trench and get into some trench warfare. You don't leave it feeling like world war one was a

00:50:31.180 fun romp in the sun. The film is about violent events. It portrays the violent events. It doesn't

00:50:37.940 promote it. Okay. What about these rap songs that we're talking about? Well, they actually actively

00:50:43.340 promote the violence. They try to make it seem cool. The rappers are bragging about their violent

00:50:48.640 exploits, the crimes they commit and so on. Kids are, um, their kids are not going out to emulate

00:50:54.460 German soldiers in world war one. They are in fact emulating rappers and they're at emulating

00:51:01.360 everything about them, the way they dress, the way they talk. Um, they do what they do. They carry

00:51:10.340 themselves in the same way. They adopt the same sets of values, emulating every aspect of them.

00:51:17.240 Why? Because again, music is extremely powerful. It's, it gets right to the core of a human being.

00:51:23.380 It sways and it moves people in ways that other forms of media don't.

00:51:26.760 And the rap industry, again, generally speaking, has used this power to actively explicitly glorify

00:51:36.440 the worst forms of human behavior. So that's the difference. You know, now that it's officially

00:51:43.120 November, some people believe that they've, um, and they have now immediate authorization to begin

00:51:47.900 Christmas festivities. I can talk about how wrong these people are, but regardless of how you feel,

00:51:52.920 there is no bad time to give a gift as long as that gift is from our store. And especially if it

00:51:59.040 is a walrus, you all saw the transformation I underwent when I received mine going from a broken

00:52:03.840 husk of a man to the cheerful, optimistic, wildly approachable social butterfly that you all know

00:52:08.860 me to be today. Well, you can have the same transformation. If you go to dailywire.com slash shop

00:52:19.000 And speaking of Christmas, Christmas is usually December 25th, but this year it's coming early

00:52:24.060 because not only is a red wave going to wash over this country and save it from the tyrannical left,

00:52:28.260 but there's also a ton of new dailywire plus content for you to enjoy starting with new episodes

00:52:32.160 of Jordan Peterson's new series on marriage. This episode is all about negotiating or I should say

00:52:37.440 learning the proper way to negotiate. Candace Owens also has a brand new episode of her show Taboo

00:52:42.140 featuring special guest and multi-platinum selling musician MIA. You'll hear about her rise to fame

00:52:47.740 and being canceled for speaking out about vaccine mandates among other topics. Then there's Ben

00:52:52.000 Shapiro's Sunday special releasing this Sunday. Ben sat down with Tennessee Governor Bill Lee to chat

00:52:57.040 about school choice, fighting through COVID policies, his experience on a women's health clinic board,

00:53:01.740 and much more. Last up tonight at 7 p.m. Central, Daily Wire Plus is releasing the documentary film

00:53:08.240 My Dinner with Trump, which is behind the curtain. It's this behind the curtain look at the former

00:53:12.460 president and his closest advisors as they dine together at his private club at Bedminster.

00:53:18.000 Regardless of how you may feel about the man, this is truly Donald Trump as the media would never show

00:53:21.960 you. And certainly nothing like this exists or has ever existed on the right. So yes, it's a huge week

00:53:26.340 here. And if you're not yet a member, there's never been a better time to join. Go to dailywire.com

00:53:30.740 slash Walsh to become a member today. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:53:35.760 You know, various saints in the early church are credited with declaring that hell is paved with

00:53:45.000 the skulls of bishops. St. John Chrysostom was even more descriptive. He wrote,

00:53:50.260 the road to hell is paved with the bones of priests and monks and the skulls of bishops are

00:53:54.300 the lampposts that light the path. His point was not that all leaders in the church are bad, but rather

00:53:59.360 that they are called to be very good, to be virtuous and noble. And if they fail, if they don't live up to

00:54:04.420 their calling, if they choose cowardice and corruption over courage, then the consequences for the flocks

00:54:10.020 that they're misleading are dire. Just as the consequences we can assume that they will personally face

00:54:15.260 at Judgment Day will be dire as well. And I thought about that Chrysostom quote yesterday when I read about

00:54:21.880 Irish Bishop Ray Brown, who is the subject of today's daily cancellation. The story begins, as Rod Dreher reports

00:54:28.100 this week in the American Conservative, with an old priest named Father Sheehy in the Diocese of Cary in Ireland.

00:54:34.420 Father Sheehy stood in front of his congregation over the weekend and said that churches need to start

00:54:40.940 talking about the reality of sin. And he then mentioned certain sins that have gained mass

00:54:45.600 approval in society, including promiscuity, sex before marriage, homosexual sex, transgenderism, 0.96

00:54:50.820 abortion. Here's the relevant portion of that sermon.

00:54:54.800 What is so sad today is you rarely hear about sin, but it's rampant. It's rampant. And we see it,

00:55:02.060 for example, in the legislation of our governments. We see it in the promotion of abortion. We see it,

00:55:09.420 for example, in the example of this lunatic approach of transgenderism. We see it, for example, 0.96

00:55:16.160 in the promotion of sex between two men and two women. That is sinful. That is mortal sin.

00:55:21.860 And people don't seem to realize it. But it's a fact. It's a reality. And we need to listen to God

00:55:28.900 about it, because if we don't, then there's no hope for those people. And so God is also telling you and

00:55:34.220 me today, look, you have a responsibility to seek out those who are lost. You have a responsibility

00:55:41.120 to call people to an awareness of the fact that sin is destructive. Sin is detrimental. And sin will

00:55:50.420 lead us to hell. When we honor the saints on the first of this coming month, we honor people who are

00:55:58.720 saints. Why are they saints? Because they repented and because they sought forgiveness. As somebody said

00:56:04.760 one time, heaven is full of converted sinners. And so today, God says to us, I have come to call sinners. 0.75

00:56:13.860 But if you don't admit you're a sinner, then you're not listening to my call. And I can't do anything for you. 1.00

00:56:20.360 Because it's a two-way street. Now, there are people, you see, who won't like to hear what I'm saying.

00:56:25.700 But the day you die, you will find out that what I'm saying is not what I invented. It's not what I came up with.

00:56:31.760 It's what God is saying.

00:56:34.760 Well, that was all very Catholic. It was a completely accurate summary of official Catholic

00:56:40.880 teaching on sexual morality. But if we've learned one thing, it's that a Catholic church is no place 0.99

00:56:46.660 for Catholicism, especially not in Ireland. And that's why Bishop Ray Brown responded by immediately

00:56:51.200 throwing his priest under the bus and groveling for forgiveness from those who were offended to

00:56:55.620 encounter Catholicism in a Catholic church. Brown posted the following statement to the diocese website.

00:57:00.360 He said,

00:57:30.360 This fundamental Christian teaching was beautifully proclaimed in the Book of Wisdom at Mass last

00:57:34.900 Sunday and in the second reading and in the Gospel of the Beatitudes at Mass today, November 1st,

00:57:39.880 the Feast of All Saints. I quote the three passages. And then he quotes them.

00:57:44.000 Yes, you love all that exists. You hold nothing of what you have made in abhorrence. You spare all things

00:57:48.380 because of all things are yours, Lord, lover of life, you whose imperishable spirit is in us all.

00:57:54.740 That's wisdom. Think of the love that the Father has lavished on us by letting us be called God's

00:58:00.020 children. And that is what we are. And then blessed are the gentle. They shall have the earth for their

00:58:04.960 heritage. Matthew chapter five.

00:58:06.980 OK, so let's let's start by reiterating a basic point. Agree or disagree with the sermon.

00:58:13.620 The fact remains that it was fully in line with Christian teaching.

00:58:17.680 Contrary to Bishop Brown, the priest was indeed articulating the Christian position.

00:58:23.000 If you don't want to hear the Christian position, then you should not be in a Christian church.

00:58:28.600 Nobody is forcing you to be there. You have not been dragged to church against your will

00:58:32.660 or marched in the doors at gunpoint. Right. Those who allegedly experienced deep upset and hurt by a

00:58:38.760 basic articulation of biblical principles deserve to have their feelings utterly dismissed.

00:58:45.540 OK, it's like going to a steak restaurant and then complaining because the menu isn't vegan.

00:58:50.340 You can't expect an establishment, whether it's a restaurant or a church, to accommodate your demand

00:58:55.640 that the establishment abandon its core mission and purpose for your sake.

00:59:00.080 You might as well go to a scuba diving instructor and insist that he teach you how to play guitar.

00:59:05.060 Doesn't make any sense. Speaking of guitar lessons, this reminds me of a Ricky Gervais joke that

00:59:09.180 James Corden actually stole this week. Gervais pointed out the absurdity of people who come to

00:59:13.960 your page on Twitter and get offended by the opinions you're expressing there. As he remarked,

00:59:19.180 it's like it's like getting offended by a notice on a bulletin board advertising guitar lessons

00:59:24.280 because you personally don't want to play guitar. OK, well, if you're not interested,

00:59:30.080 then just move along. Why is that so difficult? Bringing it back to the church for a second.

00:59:36.680 The problem in so many churches today is precisely that they have done nothing but accommodate

00:59:42.000 churchgoers who don't want to be at church. Now, it's one thing to welcome those who are skeptical

00:59:48.520 or dubious or hesitant. That we should do. It's another to drive Christianity out of your church 1.00

00:59:54.940 just so that you can attract people into it who hate Christianity. You've just defeated the very

01:00:00.520 purpose of welcoming them in the first place. So you could brag about, oh, we got them in the door.

01:00:05.560 So what? You got them in the door for what? You have nothing to offer them. And also, you're not

01:00:09.760 actually getting them in the door this way. It's not even working. You have expanded your church,

01:00:14.700 supposedly, by abolishing it. You haven't just opened the doors wide. You've torn down the walls

01:00:20.680 and you've invited the stragglers to come stand in the rubble with you and sing Kumbaya.

01:00:26.240 But of course, this is how it works on the left. They are not satisfied to let Christianity be 0.96

01:00:30.900 Christianity. They have to rip it down, destroy it. As Ben Shapiro says, they are transgressives, 0.99

01:00:35.340 not progressives. Though I still kind of like the term progressive because, as I've often said,

01:00:41.160 leftism does progress in the same sense that cancer progresses. It eats away. It poisons. It

01:00:47.700 destroys. As to the rest of this weakling bishop's pathetic, self-flagellating statement, 0.99

01:00:53.720 you know, he says that mass is not an appropriate place for these issues to be discussed. He's wrong 0.98

01:00:57.660 again. Couldn't be more wrong. It is the most appropriate place for them to be discussed.

01:01:04.060 The congregation sitting in the pews, they've lived each day of the preceding week in a culture of sin.

01:01:09.680 They've been surrounded by sin. They've been inundated with messages promoting sin. They live

01:01:13.680 in a society that carries out a constant assault on virtue and goodness. You know, that's the reality

01:01:21.120 that they're dealing with every moment of the day. We often hear that pastors ought to meet people

01:01:27.700 where they are. And yes, I agree. And that's where they are. They are living in the muck and the filth,

01:01:34.200 trying to keep their head above the surface. This reality needs to be acknowledged. It needs to

01:01:39.640 be confronted. It needs to be dealt with. What good are you as a leader? What purpose do you serve?

01:01:45.580 Who do you serve if you will not do this, if you won't help your flock navigate the world that

01:01:51.760 they've been given? And what about love and dignity, as the bishop mentions? Yes, it is our job as

01:01:56.640 Christians to love people and to defend the inherent dignity of the human person. Well, you don't achieve 1.00
