The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1065 - Democrats Push For A Great Replacement

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Chuck Schumer says that American birth rates are too low and the

00:00:04.680 only solution is to import workers from the third world to replace declining populations. 0.97

00:00:09.660 That sounds an awful lot like a certain theory we aren't supposed to talk about. Also, 12 Republican

00:00:13.660 senators officially get on board with the federal government codifying same-sex marriage. What use 0.95

00:00:17.840 are Republicans if this is what they're going to do for us? And a church in Canada comes up with

00:00:22.360 a prayer to bless and encourage assisted suicide. And San Francisco now has a guaranteed income

00:00:27.900 program for trans people. I looked at the application form for this program, and it's

00:00:32.300 even crazier than you might think. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:45.060 Roe v. Wade has been overturned, and this battle is now finally leaving D.C. and going to the

00:00:49.960 grassroots. No group in America is better positioned than 40 Days for Life. With a million volunteers

00:00:54.460 in 1,000 cities, 40 Days for Life holds peaceful vigils outside abortion facilities. They have a

00:00:59.040 larger presence in blue states, with California being their largest state. Some former abortion

00:01:03.340 facility directors say these vigils can cause the abortion no-show rate to go as high as 75%,

00:01:08.620 which needless to say is detrimental to their abortion business. These law-abiding vigils have

00:01:13.040 closed many abortion businesses in America. Nearly half of those closed abortion facilities were in

00:01:17.440 liberal cities where abortion will remain legal, including closures in San Francisco, Chicago, and Seattle.

00:01:22.500 40 Days for Life is effectively changing hearts and minds in the grassroots to end abortion.

00:01:27.280 You can check out their locations, podcasts, and their free magazine at 40daysforlife.com. And

00:01:32.740 remember, this fight is not over, especially after what happened in the midterms. It's more

00:01:37.200 important than ever to stay engaged in the fight. And if you want more information about it, you can go

00:01:40.780 to 40daysforlife at 40daysforlife.com. So we hit a major milestone this week, and by we, I mean everyone

00:01:47.580 in the whole world, congratulations, the global population officially crossed the 8 billion mark.

00:01:53.280 So there are now 8 billion people on the planet. It took humanity until the 1800s to hit 1 billion,

00:01:59.220 but only 200 more years to multiply that number by 8. This, of course, has led to, as you might expect,

00:02:05.540 lots of frantic and feeble hand-wringing about the mythical threat of overpopulation, quote-unquote.

00:02:11.280 There are too many people on the planet, they cry. The whole planet is about to tip over on its axis

00:02:15.960 and will all slide off like dishes on an overturned table. Infamously, there was once an elected

00:02:20.820 Democrat who expressed a concern not far from that. Slightly less delusional, though still plenty

00:02:26.240 delusional, is the fear that we will run out of resources or habitable land for people to live on.

00:02:33.560 I mean, none of these scenarios are realistic. There is more than enough land, more than enough

00:02:38.120 resources to feed and house numbers even greater than 8 billion. If the land or resources are

00:02:43.880 misallocated or not properly utilized, or if people choose to huddle together in massive smelly urban

00:02:50.680 bundles, that's a different problem entirely that cannot be blamed on sheer numbers and also cannot be

00:02:56.200 solved by reducing the numbers. In fact, it's not just that overpopulation is a myth, one invented and

00:03:03.060 propagated by nihilists and eugenicists and Bill Gates, but I repeat myself. It's that the actual

00:03:08.260 crisis we face as a globe, as a world, as a planet, the real apocalyptic cataclysm on the horizon

00:03:14.680 is quite the opposite of overpopulation. Our problem is not that there are too many babies being born,

00:03:20.340 but that there are too few being born. The world's population is getting older. The average age of a

00:03:26.280 human on earth is a decade older now than it was in even the 1970s. Now, sure, that's partly a product of

00:03:32.120 modern medicine, which is good. People are living longer, but it's also a product of an aging population

00:03:36.860 that isn't having enough babies. And when the median age gets high enough, society becomes top

00:03:42.040 heavy with more elderly people than there are younger people to care for them. This is a problem 1.00

00:03:47.540 that developed countries like Japan are already dealing with. Many others will soon join them.

00:03:53.380 The whole world is trending in that direction. For all the talk about overpopulation, the population is

00:04:00.640 actually projected to start declining by the 2060s as global fertility rates dip below replacement

00:04:06.540 level. Understand this. Global populations have never declined due to declining fertility.

00:04:14.800 We've never seen a decline in the global population because of fertility or lack thereof.

00:04:19.880 The last decline was during the Black Plague 700 years ago, and that was because of a pandemic

00:04:24.560 that wiped out a quarter of human life on the planet. A decline due to people simply not having

00:04:30.360 babies is an entirely different matter, and it's never happened before through the whole history of

00:04:34.820 the human race. And it's not a good sign. Older, slower, top-heavy populations cannot thrive,

00:04:42.460 and after a while, they cannot survive. They can't sustain themselves. Human civilization is right now

00:04:48.760 essentially giving up on itself, throwing in the towel. And this, again, is not a positive

00:04:55.140 development. In the U.S., we're ahead of the population decline curve. We fell below replacement

00:05:00.440 level for fertility a couple of years ago, and actually farther ago than that, and we've been

00:05:07.200 notching record low birth rates every year since, or almost. I mean, birth rates hit another record low

00:05:13.580 in 2020, falling 4% below the previous year. However, in 2021, there was a slight uptick of 1%,

00:05:18.920 which is still 3% below 2019. It was the first increase in the birth rate since 2014,

00:05:24.880 but that was likely only a function of the fact that the year before that was so low.

00:05:29.320 Overall, the U.S. has been below replacement level, actually, for the most part, and there have been,

00:05:34.840 you know, there are peaks and valleys and everything, but for the most part, it's been below

00:05:38.000 replacement since really the early 1970s. And even with the occasional blip on the radar,

00:05:43.580 screen, a spike here and there, we are trending in the wrong direction, and fast.

00:05:49.080 Senator Chuck Schumer, of all people, has noticed this problem, and he made note of it yesterday

00:05:55.900 to reporters when he was giving a press conference. Given that Democrats despise the human species,

00:06:00.540 and especially those members of the species who are residents of their same country, those are the

00:06:05.000 humans that Democrats hate the most, we don't usually hear them lamenting declining birth rates.

00:06:09.960 In fact, they are engineering the decline. So what has awakened Schumer to this issue?

00:06:17.380 Why does he care about it all of a sudden? Well, that becomes obvious pretty quickly when you hear

00:06:21.700 what he had to say and why. Here it is.

00:06:24.080 Now more than ever, we're short of workers. We have a population that is not reproducing it on its own

00:06:33.480 with the same level that it used to. The only way we're going to have a great future in America is

00:06:39.200 if we welcome and embrace immigrants, the dreamers, and all of them, because our ultimate goal is to

00:06:44.900 help the dreamers, but get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented there

00:06:51.100 are here. So there you go. That explains it. The American population is declining. We are

00:06:58.780 short of workers. The senator is concerned, of course, that there won't be enough people

00:07:02.560 available to mow his lawn and clean his pool and dust his fireplace mantles. And his solution is to

00:07:08.180 import a peasant class, to import them rather than attempt to raise them organically the old-fashioned 1.00

00:07:13.800 way. He seeks to replace the American population with illegal immigrants. He wants to 0.94

00:07:20.040 replace them, replace us. He wants to replace them on a very large scale.

00:07:27.340 Replace them on a large scale. Even you might say, you know, a large, another synonym would be great.

00:07:32.580 He wants to replace the declining American population on a great scale. 0.76

00:07:40.320 Replace great, replace on a great scale. So it's like a great replacement, you might say.

00:07:45.240 That thing that we're not allowed to notice or mention, that's the thing that Chuck Schumer is

00:07:50.920 explicitly advocating for. And by the way, not for nothing, I should also say 11 million. We keep

00:07:56.840 hearing 11 million. There are 11 million illegals or undocumented immigrants, as they put it. They've

00:08:01.360 been telling us about the 11 million undocumented immigrants since I was in high school. That number

00:08:09.200 now is much higher than 11 million. We don't know exactly what it is, but probably closer to 50

00:08:13.680 million or higher. In any case, there are, of course, other ways to reverse the trend of population

00:08:21.180 decline. And the most simple strategy, and frankly, the most enjoyable, is for us American citizens to

00:08:27.400 get down to business and have babies, lots of babies. Not to brag, but I am already pulling more than

00:08:34.220 my fair share of the weight in this arena now that I have six kids. And my wife and I have,

00:08:38.900 in our family at least, tripled the replacement rate. And if you really want to encourage more

00:08:45.380 people to have babies, and if you want those babies to have the greatest chance of success in

00:08:51.360 life, that entails more people getting married and getting married younger. So we could create a society

00:08:58.440 that encourages marriage and incentivizes people to start families and to have children.

00:09:05.860 But that is not what we have done. Thanks to Chuck Schumer and his ilk, we've gone exactly the

00:09:11.060 opposite direction. To start with, we kill our babies in the womb. 60 million babies have been killed in 0.99

00:09:18.180 the past 50 years or so. That means we've erased not just 60 million human beings. I mean, we've erased

00:09:24.400 60 million to begin with, but actually we've erased hundreds of millions of potential humans.

00:09:30.040 A large portion of those babies, after all, would have grown up and had kids of their own.

00:09:35.040 And soon the kids of those kids would start having kids. Entire family trees have been uprooted

00:09:39.800 and tossed into the incinerator. The loss of human potential is absolutely staggering.

00:09:46.600 And yet Schumer and his party support, fund, and facilitate all of this, even as he laments or

00:09:51.240 pretends to lament, the declining populations. Not only that, but Schumer and his party have

00:09:56.740 attacked the nuclear family. They've encouraged sexual perversion and sexual dysfunction. 0.98

00:10:01.660 They have invented a human right to subsidized birth control. I mean, they want to give up birth 0.93

00:10:07.280 control in middle schools now. They've created an economy that forces millions of women out of the 1.00

00:10:11.660 home and into the workplace. Now they're even castrating and sterilizing people, including children,

00:10:16.340 in the name of gender ideology. This is all part of a deliberate plan. There's no escaping that 0.98

00:10:20.780 conclusion. And that's to say nothing of the drug epidemic, killing millions of Americans by,

00:10:26.660 or killing Americans by the thousands every single year, violent crime, which is doing exactly the 0.53

00:10:33.860 same. They are obviously aware that their policies are wreaking havoc on the birth rate while eliminating

00:10:43.540 in mass those who have managed to be born. They're aware that this creates a crisis situation for the

00:10:51.420 country. And here they are at the ready with the solution, which is to import Democrat voters from

00:10:59.360 the third world, send in the replacements. I mean, they're right. The grace, the great replacement theory 0.97

00:11:05.500 is outrageous. It's outrageous to talk about the great replacement theory. And that's because there is no

00:11:12.840 theory here. It's just a fact right in front of our faces. Now let's get to the five headlines.

00:12:29.520 Well, we'll start here. Daily Wire reports a bill that would codify same-sex marriage protections

00:12:37.240 into law passed a procedural vote with the support of 12 Republican senators on Wednesday,

00:12:41.760 despite concerns that it would infringe on religious freedoms. The Respect for Marriage Act

00:12:46.840 would, ironically named, would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, which is a 1996 law that legally

00:12:54.380 defined marriages between one man and one woman, and permitted states to not recognize same-sex

00:12:58.600 marriage from other states. The RMA would make it so that any person acting under color of state law

00:13:04.640 must fully recognize a marriage between two people in another state. It also makes it so that the

00:13:10.480 federal government must recognize marriages if they were valid in the state where the marriage took

00:13:14.820 place. The procedural vote passed 62 to 37. The Republican senators who voted to advance the bill

00:13:22.060 were Roy Blunt, Richard Burr, Shelley Moore Capito, Susan Collins, no surprise there, Todd Young,

00:13:30.860 Joni Ernst, also no surprise, Cynthia Loomis, Lisa Murkowski, another no surprise, Rob Portman,

00:13:36.820 same, Mitt Romney, same, Dan Sullivan, and Tom Tillis. Those are the senators who jumped on board

00:13:43.640 with the federal government redefining marriage. Greg Baylor, the senior counsel with Alliance

00:13:49.580 Defending Freedom, told the Daily Wire, quote, that the original version of the bill created serious

00:13:53.180 threats to religious liberty. The changes to the bill did virtually nothing to address those threats.

00:13:57.520 The amendments to the bill that purport to protect religious liberty are mere window dressing.

00:14:03.600 Okay, let's review just a few things here. First of all, the bill is, to begin with,

00:14:11.780 completely unnecessary. At least, if it really has the goal as stated, which is to protect same-sex 0.94

00:14:18.680 marriage, completely unnecessary. Even if you're an advocate of same-sex marriage, 1.00

00:14:23.660 you must see that it is unnecessary. Because the Supreme Court is not going to overturn

00:14:30.760 Obergefell. It's not going to happen. There aren't the votes to overturn it. They don't even have the

00:14:37.420 votes to take a case up. And there aren't any cases to take up on the subject. A case could only make

00:14:44.560 it to the Supreme Court if some state somewhere challenges the decision by trying to ban same-sex

00:14:49.840 marriage. None of that is happening or would happen. Simple as that. So my point is, even from the 0.57

00:14:57.940 perspective of an advocate of same-sex marriage, which obviously I am not one, but from your

00:15:04.120 perspective, it's still the case that this is at least unnecessary. And I am on principle opposed to

00:15:14.900 all unnecessary laws. I don't like the idea of politicians taking time up, wasting taxpayer money

00:15:23.140 to pass laws that are unnecessary. And one of the reasons for that is that if a law, if the stated

00:15:33.020 reason for a law doesn't make any sense, or we're protecting same-sex marriage, or the Supreme Court

00:15:39.760 doesn't, that doesn't make any sense because that's not happening. Well, that will cause you

00:15:46.160 to suspect that there's something else going on here. So what's the real point then? Why are they

00:15:52.780 doing this? Well, one is just sort of the principle of it, to codify same-sex marriage on the federal

00:15:58.120 level, to do it simply because they can, to use the bully pulpit of the federal government to send

00:16:04.060 the message that anyone who opposes same-sex marriage is a bigot, et cetera. That's part of

00:16:09.740 the point, and that's enough reason to oppose it. But the other point is to, yes, attack religious 0.74

00:16:15.820 liberty. Listen to the language in the bill that supposedly protects religious liberty, and this

00:16:21.200 is what allegedly convinced Mitt Romney and others to jump on board with it. Here's what the bill

00:16:26.600 actually says. I'm going to read the language of the bill. It says, consistent with the First Amendment

00:16:31.800 to the Constitution, non-profit religious organizations, including churches, mosques,

00:16:35.680 synagogues, temples, non-denominational ministries, inter-denominational and ecumenical

00:16:41.100 organizations, mission organizations, faith-based social agencies, religious educational institutions,

00:16:45.880 non-profit entities whose principal purpose is the study, practice, or advancement of religion,

00:16:49.400 and any employees of such an organization, shall not be required to provide services, accommodations,

00:16:54.020 advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges for the solemnization or celebration of a marriage.

00:16:59.660 Any refusal under this subsection to provide such services, accommodations,

00:17:03.980 advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges shall not create any civil claim or cause of action.

00:17:09.080 So that's what it says. And this is supposed to be the thing that protects religious liberty.

00:17:15.840 Even though we already have the First Amendment, which protects religious liberty. And even though

00:17:21.620 this bill also codifies same-sex marriage on the federal level. But look at who they're mentioning

00:17:31.420 here. Okay. They mention a bunch of people and they say that, okay, these faith-based organizations, and

00:17:36.360 then they list a bunch of things that count as faith-based organizations, which also means, by the way, that the

00:17:41.940 government is claiming the responsibility and the power to decide what counts as a faith-based

00:17:48.420 organization. But it says, if you're a faith-based organization, you won't be required to provide

00:17:55.100 services, facilities, et cetera, for the solemnization or celebration of a marriage. Again, however they

00:18:02.060 define solemnization or celebration of a marriage. But do you know who this wouldn't help? I mean, it

00:18:09.940 wouldn't help the people who have actually been under attack, whose religious liberties have actually

00:18:15.600 been threatened by the LGBT mob coming after them on this subject. Somebody like Jack Phillips, 0.97

00:18:21.340 for example, the baker in Colorado. Now, he runs a bakery. That's not a faith-based organization.

00:18:30.960 At least not according to the law. So it's just a private business. But he's a Christian.

00:18:39.860 And he has the right, according to the First Amendment, to run his business according to his

00:18:45.280 beliefs, to practice his religion, even in the context of his business.

00:18:53.340 But this part of the law here, this language, specifically excludes people like him,

00:19:01.240 which is a big signal to the left and to the LGBT activists that you can keep going after the 0.99

00:19:07.820 Jack Phillipses of the world. Because you only have religious liberty, according to this law, 0.90

00:19:14.480 you only have religious liberty, and you only have the right to not participate in or approve of a

00:19:20.600 same-sex marriage if you are directly affiliated with a faith-based organization. Religious liberty,

00:19:29.380 that's something that belongs in the churches, they're saying. It doesn't belong in your bakery.

00:19:35.000 But that's not what religious liberty means. It's not religious liberty if you can only practice it

00:19:39.240 when you're inside the walls of a church. Because that's not the only time when you have your faith

00:19:46.280 or you have your religion. At least it shouldn't be. If Christians are not able to live by their faith 1.00

00:19:54.820 and practice it in every context, then they don't have religious liberty. It doesn't exist.

00:20:00.120 You can practice your religious liberty inside the walls of this building. That's just another

00:20:06.160 way of saying you don't have religious liberty. It's like the farce of a college campus having

00:20:12.000 a free speech zone. Yeah, you have free speech, but we're going to draw a circle and chalk on the

00:20:17.000 ground here, and you've got to be inside that circle. Then you have all the free speech you want.

00:20:22.100 Well, it's limited to being inside the circle, which means that it's not free.

00:20:25.400 And that's obviously the case here. And there's another point, too, that

00:20:30.520 what they're trying to do here, although this is an assault on religious liberty,

00:20:36.140 the other goal is to send the message that you could only ever oppose same-sex marriage or have

00:20:44.340 a problem with it if you are religious, which isn't true. That's just not true.

00:20:50.260 This is part of what the conversation with Joe Rogan was about, that, yes, it is accurate that if

00:21:00.620 you're a faithful Christian, for example, or a member of any of the Abrahamic faiths or many other

00:21:06.900 religions, you cannot be an advocate for same-sex marriage because your religion forbids it.

00:21:11.640 But it's also true that you don't actually need to be an adherent to an Abrahamic religion

00:21:18.560 to see that same-sex marriage doesn't make any sense, to oppose it fundamentally.

00:21:25.320 Because there is a logical definitional argument here, which is that, as I've tried to explain,

00:21:33.020 the relationship between a man and a woman, that sort of relationship in principle,

00:21:37.540 principle is different from, it's different in kind, it's different in function from the

00:21:42.540 relationship between a man and a man and a woman and a woman because of the capacity that it has,

00:21:46.200 because of the potential that it has, because of its procreative capacity.

00:21:53.060 And because it has that capacity, it is a different sort of thing and should be called something

00:21:57.360 different and should be protected by society and given a pride of place and incentivized,

00:22:04.720 especially if you want to reverse the population decline, incentivized in a way that none of these

00:22:09.640 other relationships should be or need to be. There's no argument, there is no rational argument

00:22:16.440 for legally recognizing the love that a same-sex couple has for each other. Why does that need

00:22:23.940 to be legally recognized? Why do you need a piece of paper or a contract or anything that recognizes

00:22:30.000 that on a legal level? It's easy to understand why you need those sorts of protections for man-woman 0.94

00:22:38.980 relationships because they are procreative, they create babies, they are the fountain from which

00:22:47.140 the nuclear family springs, which lies at the foundation of human civilization. So that's why it's

00:22:52.700 different. And although it may be true that religious people are more likely to see this

00:23:00.480 reality, you don't actually need to be religious to see it. And the other thing too is that this is

00:23:08.680 all being done on dishonest grounds. And you know that if you listen to the people who push this. So

00:23:13.320 here's Senator Tammy Baldwin on the floor of the Senate making her pitch for this bill before it was, 0.94

00:23:18.900 before it passed the procedural vote. And listen to what she says.

00:23:23.480 Right now, millions of Americans, our family members, our neighbors, our congressional staff

00:23:29.680 members, and certainly our constituents are scared. Scared that the rights they rely upon

00:23:37.000 to protect their families could be taken away. And they are scared for good reason. The same legal

00:23:45.200 arguments that the Supreme Court rested upon to reverse Roe v. Wade could just as easily be applied

00:23:53.560 to reverse numerous other cases related to families, related to intimate relations, to contraception,

00:24:02.680 and marriage. The Supreme Court should not be in a position to undermine the stability of families

00:24:10.420 with a stroke of the pen. So now Congress must act. With the Respect for Marriage Act, we can ease the

00:24:18.660 fear that millions of same-sex and interracial couples have that their freedoms and their rights

00:24:26.260 could be stripped away. By passing this bill, we are guaranteeing same-sex and interracial couples, 0.99

00:24:34.320 regardless of where they live, that their marriage is legal, and that they will continue to enjoy the

00:24:42.380 rights and responsibilities that all other marriages are afforded.

00:24:48.360 So you hear what she's, and of course, we've heard this the whole time, but she mentions

00:24:52.820 interracial couples probably, I don't know, three or four times just in that clip alone.

00:24:57.780 And every time she says same-sex couples, she makes sure to include same-sex couples and interracial

00:25:02.440 couples. When there has just been no, there is no one who wants to abolish interracial marriages,

00:25:15.080 that argument isn't being made by anyone. I mean, there also, again, is no actual political threat to

00:25:22.160 same-sex marriage, because no states are going to do that. The Supreme Court wouldn't do that,

00:25:25.980 and the Republican Party, unfortunately, does not have the wherewithal to make this argument at all.

00:25:33.880 They refuse to make it. That's the case for same-sex marriages. 1.00

00:25:39.360 Interracial couples, there's just, no one's talking about that except on the left.

00:25:45.520 Because, again, an interracial coupling does, obviously, does not at all challenge

00:25:52.400 the fundamental definition of marriage. You know, a black man and a white woman,

00:25:59.940 in principle, can create babies, have procreative potential, just like two members of the same

00:26:04.820 race. And one other point about that, too, is that if anyone, I say that nobody's criticizing

00:26:09.980 interracial couples, and no one has a problem with that. It's actually not exactly true.

00:26:14.740 You know, you could go online and see people complaining, maybe, about that.

00:26:20.700 But they're almost always going to be on the left. Okay? It's on the left. It's the race

00:26:25.380 hustlers on the left. It's the proponents of critical race theory, and so on. If anyone is

00:26:29.620 going to criticize, in the year 2022, interracial couples, it's almost certainly going to be someone 1.00

00:26:35.660 on the left approaching it from that perspective. So, the challenge to interracial couplings,

00:26:45.300 if it exists at all, is coming from inside the House, if you're on the Democratic side.

00:26:50.620 All right. Daily Wire has this report. As Canada prepares to loosen laws related to medical assistance

00:26:56.680 in dying, prayers published by the United Church of Canada designed to help sick and disabled people

00:27:02.440 follow through with the lethal procedure are drawing criticism and shock. So, this is

00:27:08.060 a church, quote-unquote, that has come up with prayers encouraging people to kill themselves. 0.98

00:27:14.400 All right. Although euthanasia has been available to many Canadians for the past six years,

00:27:19.040 the nation's parliament considered amendments to the criminal code last year that would expand the

00:27:23.480 availability of the practice. Among other changes, a citizen possessing only a mental illness can now

00:27:28.600 request euthanasia starting next spring, whereas the practice was originally limited to individuals

00:27:33.400 with serious physical illnesses or disabilities. And we've been talking about this on this show,

00:27:38.580 that in Canada, you know, euthanasia is threatening to become, it already is one of the leading causes

00:27:45.560 of death in some provinces in Canada, as they are taking this, what they call the MAID law,

00:27:53.220 the MAID Act, medical assistance in dying, and they are progressively expanding it to include more

00:28:00.220 and more types of people. So, long gone are the days when euthanasia, when the euthanasia conversation

00:28:05.980 revolved only around people who are already on their deathbed, who are terminally ill, who are going to

00:28:11.700 die anyway within the next few weeks. It's long gone are the days when that's, when that is what the

00:28:16.500 euthanasia conversation is about. And even then, even when it was just focused on that population of

00:28:24.120 people, I opposed it. And this is one of the reasons why I opposed it. Because everything is a slippery

00:28:33.060 slope on the left. This, of course, is no exception. If we are saying that suicide, you know, that killing

00:28:43.500 someone can be a valid medical treatment, if that's what we're saying, then it's only a matter of time

00:28:51.180 before that is applied far beyond terminally ill people. The whole logic between, behind euthanasia

00:28:58.980 of a terminally ill is that they're, they're suffering, they don't want to live anymore, there's, there's no

00:29:03.740 point in living when, when they're suffering so much. And so, the best way to treat that suffering is

00:29:09.040 just to kill them. Well, it's not that far of a jump at all. In fact, it's not even a jump, it's just a 1.00

00:29:15.820 step. To see how, well, that, if that, if that's the truth for terminally ill people, then yeah, why not

00:29:21.240 someone who's depressed? Why not someone who's struggling with mental illness? They're suffering too.

00:29:27.400 As far as they can see it, there's no end of the suffering. Life is suffering.

00:29:31.060 suffering. And so, I will treat, this is how we will treat the suffering.

00:29:38.760 Anyway, back to the United Church of Canada. It's called The Prayer in the Midst of Fear,

00:29:46.020 which is co-authored by United Church of Canada minister and the former co-president of Dying

00:29:50.840 with Dignity, an advocacy group which supported the legalization of assisted suicide in Canada.

00:29:55.240 It can be described as an exercise in radical autonomy. The supplication centers upon asking

00:30:01.400 God that family members would accept their loved one's decision to kill themselves with the aid of

00:30:06.480 medical professionals. Making no mention of eternal life secured through the death and resurrection

00:30:10.620 of Jesus Christ, the prayer attempts to embrace an uncertainty about death. So, here's part of the

00:30:15.880 prayer. Again, this was devised by the United Church of Canada. It says, I am afraid. I feel fear

00:30:23.340 penetrating my mind and my heart. I feel fear in my gut. I am afraid to die. I do not know what lies

00:30:29.300 beyond the barrier of death. I am afraid to release myself to the great unknown. I am heartbroken and

00:30:35.620 afraid to leave my family. I am still needed. I have let go of hope and healing. I hold on to hope for

00:30:41.940 the next life. I am afraid that my family and loved one's children and grandchildren will be troubled

00:30:46.440 when I tell them I plan to die using medical aid in dying. But in the midst of my fear, I have hope that

00:30:52.620 my family and loved one's children and grandchildren will understand the choice to end my suffering.

00:30:57.140 I hope they will be proud of my decision and will understand that made is consistent with the love

00:31:02.080 and compassion of Jesus. And then I go, I can't even keep reading this. I mean, this is obviously not

00:31:09.340 a Christian prayer. This is a demonic incantation. This is a, you know, this is a mockery of Christianity. 1.00

00:31:20.120 This is Christianity turned on its head. Because Christianity is a, is a, is, is hope. It is a 0.90

00:31:28.620 religion, a faith of hope. And this is the abandonment of hope. It says, I hope that my family will be,

00:31:39.040 will be proud, that they'll be proud that I killed myself because I don't want to suffer anymore.

00:31:44.180 This is what happens when you, when you put, we talk about the slippery slope.

00:31:52.340 When you put doctors in charge of killing people, when you say to doctors that this is now a valid

00:31:58.680 treatment that could be available to some people, this is, this is where it leads.

00:32:03.020 And, uh, it was entirely predictable. All right. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has some thoughts about,

00:32:13.120 um, trans rights. Let's listen to that.

00:32:15.920 Is that the same folks who tell, who tell us and told us that COVID, COVID's just a flu,

00:32:23.860 that climate change isn't real, that January 6th was nothing but a tourist visit,

00:32:29.520 are the same, are now trying to tell us that transgender people are not real?

00:32:37.260 Much of that is, is correct. Um, climate change is a, is a, is a, a hoax. Well,

00:32:48.220 what we're told about climate change by the left, much of that is a hoax. That's correct.

00:32:53.540 Um, January 6th is a tourist visit. Well, no, it was a riot, but it was closer to a tourist visit

00:33:00.560 than it was to, uh, an insurrection that threatened to overturn, you know, the, the government of the

00:33:05.540 United States. If, if everything's on a spectrum, then it would be closer to the, to the tourist end,

00:33:12.240 the tourist expedition end of that spectrum than, uh, an insurrection that would have overturned,

00:33:16.540 uh, the government. And trans, trans people are not real. Well, this is, this is, this is what we 0.99

00:33:23.500 keep hearing from the labs. They're claiming that what we are saying is that trans people aren't real.

00:33:27.300 What the, it depends what you mean by that. We all agree that there are people in the country

00:33:34.780 who identify themselves as trans. So those people certainly exist. There are people who are

00:33:41.300 walking around and saying, I'm transgender. Yes, we all agree. That's not a figment of our

00:33:46.180 imagination. We're not hallucinating it. Um, we all agree. That's the case that those people exist.

00:33:53.820 However, the question is whether the claim that they're making about themselves is true.

00:34:00.960 And then the second question is related to the first, is it actually possible for a person to be

00:34:06.860 transgender? Is that a valid, uh, a, a legitimate, uh, a coherent kind of human identity?

00:34:17.540 What is trans, transgender, trans, it means beyond gender. You're, you're beyond it. You're something, 0.99

00:34:23.160 you're something past it, beyond it. Is it possible to be that? The answer is no, no one, no one is beyond

00:34:29.840 it because we're human beings and there are two options, male and female, and nobody exists beyond that.

00:34:36.860 So in that sense, uh, you know, trans in, if, if that's the sense that you mean that in that sense,

00:34:48.680 trans people don't exist in the sense that you, there are no people who actually exist

00:34:52.960 beyond the gender binary because the gender binary is real and we all are, are, are in it on one side

00:34:59.620 of it or the other. And yet the people who are confused about this, yes, they certainly do exist.

00:35:05.700 And if they didn't, then we wouldn't be having this conversation. Speaking of people who are

00:35:09.760 confused, here's something that's been making the rounds on, um, on Reddit. This is posted by a,

00:35:17.480 a, an account called males of Reddit. And it's a screenshot of someone on the, the trans forum,

00:35:25.260 the male to female transform on Reddit. And here's what they posted. They said,

00:35:30.100 I have successfully breastfed my child. This is a male again, by the way, my kiddo was born last

00:35:37.780 week and I was the first to breastfeed her. My partner and I gave her, well, they've, well, they've, 0.91

00:35:43.220 they are recognizing the sex of their daughter. So that's something at least you got to look for 0.99

00:35:50.300 the glimmers of hope where you can find them, especially in a situation like this. My partner

00:35:54.020 and I gave her 40 hours of continuous skin to skin after she was born. But after, after months

00:35:59.000 of preparation and trying, I was able to breastfeed my own kiddo from my breast. It's a wild feeling

00:36:04.660 that made me over the moon happy. She's a cutie. And then there's screenshots of a bunch of comments 0.71

00:36:11.800 saying that, uh, you know, how wonderful all this is. Now it should go without saying, but I feel that

00:36:18.560 I must say it anyway. Um, it is not possible for a man to breastfeed a child. Okay. That's not

00:36:26.720 something that can actually be done. You cannot sustain a child that way. Now, what is possible and

00:36:34.720 what has apparently happened in this case is that if you take, if you're a man and you take a whole

00:36:40.620 bunch of hormones and you drug yourself up this way, that, um, after a while you may start secreting 0.96

00:36:47.840 some, there may be some secretions that come out of your nipples, which is disgusting, but that's, 1.00

00:36:54.440 that, that may actually happen. So these are going to be hormone. These are going to be these 0.96

00:36:58.620 secretions, hormone laced with artificial hormones that are now being ingested by the child.

00:37:05.780 It could that possibly be remotely healthy for a newborn child to be ingesting that whatever that

00:37:16.640 is. Okay. And we're not going to call it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not,

00:37:20.380 it's not the mother's milk. It's certainly not that whatever you want to call that mucus,

00:37:23.780 those secretions, uh, is it healthy for a child to be ingesting it? Is there any reason to think that

00:37:31.840 it would be? Obviously not. But as always, it's not about the child. This is certainly extremely

00:37:42.120 physically unhealthy for the child, not to mention the psychological damage being done,

00:37:45.640 even at such a young age, but that doesn't matter. It's not about, uh, it's not about the child. It's

00:37:50.560 about this guy. No, this is a, this is a, a, a fetish for him. This is a desire that he has

00:38:00.320 and that he has now forced a newborn child to participate in.

00:38:07.160 I also want to play this clip for you. MSNBC, um,

00:38:12.400 this appears to be maybe turning on Ukraine ever so slightly. I thought this was an interesting

00:38:16.060 clip. Let's play this. Such an important point. The reason, if this was in fact a Ukrainian defense

00:38:20.980 missile that, uh, engaged in an accident, the reason they're firing those up is because Russia

00:38:25.940 is attacking Ukraine deep in its own territory near the Polish border, going after infrastructure

00:38:30.560 and civilian targets. Uh, just a couple of minutes ago, Richard, the Polish president,

00:38:34.600 president due to call this an unfortunate accident and not an intentional attack. This never made sense

00:38:41.660 to you even yesterday that it was a Russian attack. No, as Admiral Stavridi said, if you're going to do

00:38:46.300 an intentional attack attack, if you're Russia and you're going to risk taking on NATO. And by the way,

00:38:51.260 Russia can't defeat Ukraine. Why in the world would they take on NATO? Uh, it just makes zero, zero sense.

00:38:57.580 Uh, so yeah, it's just, there was no way this I thought could have been an intentional Russian, 0.68

00:39:03.580 uh, attack. I think the, the polls look studied, measured, which is what you want to look here.

00:39:09.660 NATO looks good. Ukraine looks a little bit too hot. The idea that the Ukraine's saying this has

00:39:14.620 to be a Russian, it almost looks as if they wanted this to be something more. So I think that's

00:39:19.500 unfortunate and that won't help their credibility. Uh, so look, I think this, the only other lesson

00:39:27.100 I take from this is anytime you've got a hot war stuff happens to use Mr. Rumsfeld's comment,

00:39:32.860 the danger of escalation is somehow implicit, the danger of accidents. And again, it's, it's the reason

00:39:38.380 you, you don't want to fly off the handle. When stuff happens, just, just get the facts and make

00:39:44.780 sure you're responding to something that was actual and if possible intentional. Uh, you don't want to

00:39:49.980 have inadvertent escalation here. So there's a little bit of a lesson, uh, when something hot is going on.

00:39:55.180 Well, I said ever so slightly, uh, that's, uh, probably turning on Ukraine as a, is, is an 0.86

00:40:02.620 overstatement. Um, but he does acknowledge that's yeah. Ukraine, they, it's almost like, uh, he says

00:40:10.780 they're, they were too hot. They were almost, they, it's almost like they, they wanted it to be a

00:40:14.300 Russian attack when the missile hit Poland and killed two people. And Ukraine, we immediately heard

00:40:20.140 from Ukraine and Zelensky is a Russian Russians. The Russians did it. It's almost like they wanted 0.96

00:40:24.220 it to be the case. Yeah. You think so? It's, it's not that they, they're the ones who launched the

00:40:29.900 missile. So it's not that they wanted that. They wanted us to think that they're the ones who launched

00:40:34.860 it. The only question about this is whether this was a false flag operation, that they launched it

00:40:42.220 intentionally so that they could blame Russia and draw Western governments into a world war with Russia,

00:40:47.500 or if, uh, if this was an accident and then Zelensky turned around with bad intel and, uh,

00:40:54.860 because he wanted it to be a certain way and he just told the world that, I mean, again, either way,

00:41:00.860 it's, it's really bad for Zelensky in Ukraine. But, you know, when there's a, when there's a

00:41:08.540 supposed, when someone makes a mistake that would work out really well for them, then I tend to think

00:41:14.460 that's not a coincidence. So it seems pretty clear to me that this was intentional. This,

00:41:20.460 so they were trying to hoax us into a world war. And although we might be hearing from the media now,

00:41:25.820 now they're saying, Oh yeah, I never thought it was. So of course it wasn't Russia.

00:41:30.200 That's not what they were saying on Tuesday when this news first came down.

00:41:35.260 I mean, on Tuesday, every corporate media outlet was ready for world war.

00:41:44.380 Not even stopping to think about it. Why would Russia, why would they even do this? 0.62

00:41:48.940 I guess if they're, if they're the comic book villains and, uh, and so they're just launching

00:41:54.180 missiles for no reason, but in the real world, Russia in this conflict with Ukraine, why would

00:42:00.780 they just randomly attack Poland? It never made any sense, but it's not just that Ukraine wanted it 0.60

00:42:08.020 to be a certain thing. It's that the media wanted it to be that too. All right, let's get to the

00:42:13.500 comment section. You know, relief band is the number one FDA cleared anti-nausea wristband. It's clinically

00:43:30.560 immediately but rather clapped for says everything. Yeah, that was the girl that was insulting and 0.97

00:43:38.420 attacking her own father at his funeral during the eulogy. Yeah, it's bad enough that they clapped,

00:43:44.160 but really somebody should have walked up onto the stage during that and just escorted her off the

00:43:50.720 stage. I think in many ways we need to become a more confrontational culture than we are,

00:43:56.880 more confrontational. What we usually hear is it's the opposite. It's too confrontational,

00:44:00.720 too divisive, and we all need to turn down the temperature quite a bit. That might be the case

00:44:05.960 on the internet. Okay, yeah, everyone is really confrontational on the internet, and if you say

00:44:10.440 one thing that they don't like, they're going to tell you that they hope you die of cancer and all

00:44:15.380 that kind of stuff. But in real life, it's really the opposite. Because people are hiding behind,

00:44:21.160 and they're kind of venting all their frustrations behind the comfort of their keyboards. In real life,

00:44:26.900 all of these people are a bunch of fainting little flowers. And so you could see something

00:44:33.860 like this happen, and a bunch of people just standing by and watching it. Because although they

00:44:41.760 might be eager to confront on the internet, most people don't want to confront in person.

00:44:49.220 We could actually use a lot more of that. CoolPapaJMagic says, I would so love to hear Matt

00:44:54.140 call this woman anti-white, which is what she is. The go-free lexicon is spreading, so it's just a 1.00

00:45:00.200 matter of time. When have I ever hesitated to call someone anti-white if they're anti-white? 0.59

00:45:04.960 Yeah, she's anti-white, obviously. I've talked about anti-white racism using that term many,

00:45:10.200 many times. I always find it funny when I hear this from people in the audience. Well,

00:45:16.020 Matt never talks about this. It's like, I talk about that all the time. I maybe haven't talked

00:45:21.600 about it in the last, I don't know, 48 hours, but that's not the same thing as never talking about it.

00:45:27.440 Owen says, I have a bad relationship with my father, but I have family members who do have

00:45:31.100 a good relationship with him, and I respect that. There's no possible way that anyone could

00:45:35.380 convince me to do what she did. Absolutely disgraceful. And that's a good point, too. It's not just

00:45:40.060 about, you know, the funeral is not just about honoring the dead. It's also about the living.

00:45:46.480 That's, you know, the people will say the funeral is only for the living. I disagree with that. I

00:45:50.200 think it also is about the dead. It's about honoring the dead. But the funeral is indeed in part for the

00:45:56.740 living. And so even if you didn't have a good relationship with this person, think about all

00:46:01.820 the other people who are there who don't feel that way and who, for them, it's going to help them

00:46:06.520 grieve to be able to honor this person. And you're just throwing a hand grenade into the middle of

00:46:14.220 that because it would make you feel better. Delta Nine says, that chick's eulogy could have come right 1.00

00:46:21.700 out of Mao's cultural revolution. I suppose she'd probably take that as a compliment. Well, she wouldn't

00:46:25.800 because she wouldn't know what Mao's cultural revolution is, even though she's participating in it.

00:46:30.860 Um, let's see. Majed says, Matt, I think it actually is in the best interest of some random

00:46:38.260 American sitting on his dinner table that Russia is punished, i.e. had its global presence diminished

00:46:43.080 because then the U.S. will directly benefit from weakening one of its main competitors on the global

00:46:47.760 stage. And that may translate into an improvement in terms of well-being for an average American.

00:46:53.460 Well, that's your assertion, I understand. And you have reasserted it. But how exactly does it help?

00:47:00.860 Um, so you're, you're asserting that it would improve the well-being of the average American

00:47:08.260 citizen if we are to, uh, punish Russia. Okay. So that's, that's your assertion. That's what you're 0.85

00:47:13.860 claiming. How exactly? Walk me through that. Give me the step-by-step process. Okay. I want,

00:47:21.380 I, you need to connect those dots for me because I'm not being facetious. I don't see it.

00:47:26.200 Um, Tyler says, sounds like Matt is that guy who's just losing his mind in my rear view mirror

00:47:34.480 because myself and the four cars in front of me are only going seven miles per hour over the speed

00:47:38.500 limit. I am absolutely that guy. How dare you go only seven miles? If you're going seven miles over

00:47:44.800 the limit, you're going at least 10 miles per hour too slow. That's my drive. That's my driving

00:47:53.460 safety recommendation. Um, let's see. Nikki says, I agree about people who drive too slow in the fast

00:48:02.300 lane, but the worst highway offenders are people who try to jump ahead in traffic by driving all the

00:48:07.100 way to the end of the merge lane slash ramp, and then cutting in at the last moment. But you,

00:48:13.320 you could not be more wrong, Nikki, I'm afraid to say you couldn't possibly be wronger. You have

00:48:18.460 gone as far from correct as you could possibly go. You have reached the absolute zero of wrongness.

00:48:25.080 The merge lane, the ramp, okay. It's there for a reason. You're supposed to use it. And if there's a

00:48:32.160 lot of traffic, uh, especially I'm, I always take the on-ramp all the way to the end before I cut in

00:48:39.560 because that's my lane and I have every right to it and I'm going to use it. And if I'm coming onto

00:48:44.240 the highway, um, I have a right to that lane and I will use it all the way to the end. I'll leap,

00:48:50.540 I'll leap in front of 50 cars, cut right in at the last minute. And I will do it without causing any

00:48:56.840 other car to break their stride or slam their brakes. I will do it with surgical precision

00:49:01.500 and you will look on in jealousy, but that's not my problem. So you're sitting in traffic and you're

00:49:07.640 just jealous of the people that are on the on-ramp and you see them whizzing by you and cutting in

00:49:12.140 front. But your jealousy is not my issue. No, the real problem with merging is, I think we've talked

00:49:18.080 about this before. It's when, and this is a, this is a big issue in Nashville. I think Nashville is

00:49:22.220 the capital of this and I'm not exactly sure why, but the real problem is when people are, they're

00:49:27.320 merging onto the highway and there's a lot of traffic. And for some reason they just kind of panic

00:49:32.460 and they get afraid. And so they come to a complete stop in the middle of the merge lane and sit

00:49:37.380 there with their dumb little blinker on like an idiot waiting to cut into the traffic. Meanwhile, 1.00

00:49:42.200 there's still like a hundred feet of runway in front of them that they refuse to use.

00:49:46.540 And so they're causing all the other cars that are coming on the on-ramp to have to slam on their

00:49:50.500 brakes. That's the real issue. You know, something smells over at my swag shack, something like sweet

00:49:58.100 baby spirit. That's right. Fuel tea to the SPG is in bloom this holiday season. So come as you are

00:50:03.560 and get yourself the sweet baby album tea. It's the perfect gift to yourself and everyone, you know,

00:51:15.500 more information or if you want to apply, visit dailywire.com slash careers today. Now let's get to our

00:51:21.420 daily cancellation. Well, we flew into San Francisco yesterday for my speech at Berkeley tonight. We had

00:51:30.700 to drive downtown from the airport to get to our hotel. The GPS, it wasn't working, but fortunately

00:51:36.440 we were able to follow the stench of weed and feces and it led us right into the city. Truly San Francisco

00:51:42.780 is a God forsaken wasteland. It is like something out of Mad Max, but way gayer. If you didn't know any 1.00

00:51:49.160 better, you might think that the whole city is like some kind of penal colony. If I had to choose

00:51:54.080 between going to prison or moving to San Francisco, it would be a flip of the coin at least because

00:51:58.100 there is no discernible difference between the two. This is what a leftist utopia looks like and

00:52:02.540 what it smells like, like urine and garbage and despair. So what I'm trying to say is that I'm not 0.89

00:52:08.180 a big fan of this city. And so it should come as no surprise that I am canceling the city today, though

00:52:13.120 my reason for canceling has nothing to do with the trauma that I suffer every time I'm forced to come

00:52:17.600 here. It's really a coincidence, perhaps Providence, that I happen to be in the city on the day when

00:52:23.420 its reason for cancellation has presented itself. And here's that reason. It's a report from the local

00:52:28.580 ABC affiliate in San Francisco. It says, San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced the launch of a new

00:52:33.980 guaranteed income program for the city's transgender community on Wednesday. The Guaranteed Income for

00:52:39.420 Trans People gift program will provide low-income transgender residents with $1,200 each

00:52:47.160 each month up to 18 months to help address financial insecurity within the community.

00:52:52.460 In a statement, the city of San Francisco said, GIFT is one of several programs the city is

00:52:56.660 developing, implementing, and evaluating to identify how to best support San Francisco

00:53:00.860 residents and promote economic stability and recovery. The city also said that the new pilot

00:53:05.040 program is the first guaranteed income initiative to focus solely on trans people and will provide

00:53:09.120 55 eligible participants with temporary income. Additionally, the city said it will provide the same

00:53:13.820 individuals with wraparound direct services such as gender-affirming medical and mental health care,

00:53:20.240 case management, specialty care services, and financial coaching. Now, we're told the reason for

00:53:26.300 this program is that trans people are disproportionately impacted by poverty. We already know that trans people

00:53:32.140 are disproportionately impacted by everything, really. If there was a giant tsunami that obliterated the

00:53:37.200 whole city, not to get your hopes up, and everyone was washed away in the process, we would still be told

00:53:41.960 that trans people were disproportionately impacted. If a volcano erupted on an island in the Pacific and incinerated

00:53:48.100 a small village of 600 people and there were no trans people in the village at all, we would still be told that

00:53:54.880 trans people were disproportionately impacted somehow. As for poverty, the article says this, quote,

00:54:00.520 We know that our trans communities experience much higher rates of poverty and discrimination, so this program will

00:54:06.200 target support to lift individuals in this community up. We will keep building on programs like this to provide

00:54:11.960 those in the greatest need with the financial resources and services to help them thrive, said Mayor

00:54:15.960 London Breed in a statement. Transgender communities experience poverty and economic instability at

00:54:21.320 disproportionately high rates, according to the city. The U.S. Transgender Survey, which is the only

00:54:26.820 large-scale study of trans people in the U.S. in 2015, found that 33% of trans people in California

00:54:31.460 were living in poverty. All right. So we're supposed to assume that the higher rates of poverty

00:54:39.360 in the trans community are due to discrimination, transphobia, whatever. Even in a place like San

00:54:45.200 Francisco, where trans people are literally worshipped as deities, even here, the high rates

00:54:51.820 of poverty are because of bigotry. Yet, even the left will acknowledge that trans people, they also have

00:54:58.060 higher rates of mental illness and substance abuse issues. That would seem to explain why they're more

00:55:04.940 likely to have trouble holding down a job. And it's hard to see how handing them a check for $1,200

00:55:09.620 will solve that. And by the way, if we're providing financial advantages to groups that are more likely

00:55:16.260 to be homeless and impoverished, why not set up a program giving a monthly stipend to men? Quote, 0.70

00:55:22.380 cisgender men specifically. After all, men, as compared to women, suffer much higher rates of

00:55:29.040 homelessness and similar conditions. So why not give them a program? But no such program would or

00:55:36.480 ever could exist because the disproportionate impact game is rigged. In any case, we still haven't

00:55:42.680 gotten to the reason for this cancellation. Obviously, handing out free money to the gender 1.00

00:55:48.840 confused is an insane idea that will not solve any problem and will only make the existing problems

00:55:53.960 even worse. But if San Francisco wants to continue its march into insanity and oblivion, it is more

00:55:59.500 than welcome to do so. I have no interest in talking sense into them, nor could I even do that

00:56:03.960 anyway. That's why my focus is not on the program itself, but on the form you have to fill out in

00:56:10.680 order to be eligible for it. So if you want to take advantage of GIFT, you must complete a 10-page

00:56:16.660 form, which is available online in PDF form. So you can go see it. And the reason why, you might think

00:56:22.080 like 10 pages, that's a lot of pages. Why do you have to fill out 10 pages? Well, the reason that

00:56:26.760 it's 10 pages, that becomes immediately obvious when you skim through it. For instance, you're asked

00:56:33.000 to provide your pronouns, and the form gives you 15 options, including co-co-cos, z-zim-zis,

00:56:42.000 pur-pur-purs, and v-ver-viz. Now, these may sound like characters in a Dr. Seuss book, but instead

00:56:49.100 they are, in fact, made-up pronouns. Now, what is a v-ver exactly, and how is it distinguished from

00:56:54.360 a z-zim or a pur-pur-s? Nobody knows. Nobody can say. And of course, if 15 options aren't enough, 0.83

00:57:00.440 you can also check not listed as an option. Yet the list of pronouns seems downright limited compared

00:57:05.880 to the section for gender identity. There are, according to libs of TikTok, we took the time to count

00:57:11.160 them all. God bless her. There are 97 provided options for gender identity. 97 genders. And now,

00:57:20.140 in fairness, they've padded the stats here quite a bit. There will be, in many cases, four or five

00:57:25.520 different ways to phrase the exact same thing, such as transgender woman, woman of trans experience,

00:57:32.620 woman with a history of gender transition, or trans feminine. These are treated as discrete and

00:57:39.280 distinct identities, yet they're all the same brand of nonsense, rephrased in various different ways.

00:57:45.260 Other gender options include sister girl, feminine of center, brother boy, xenogender,

00:57:55.340 gender outlaw is an option. You can be a gender outlaw, multi-gender, omni-gender, 0.79

00:58:02.900 novi-gender. If you really identify with the, if you really love the month of November, I guess, 0.94

00:58:07.460 you're a novi-gender. And also, there's a gender called aggressive. That's, that's the gender, 0.99

00:58:13.580 aggressive. Aggressiveness is its own gender now. And if somehow none of those work for you,

00:58:19.660 you can always check, I don't use labels, or not listed. And then what about sexual orientation?

00:58:25.400 Well, here there are a quaint 17 options, a number inflated by the fact that non-monogamous,

00:58:31.800 pansexual, and polyamorous are all listed as separate options. Another sexual option, a sexual orientation,

00:58:37.340 option on the list. And I'm just telling you this, okay, this is, this is what's on the list.

00:58:40.800 This is what this government form says. This is a valid label according to the form.

00:58:46.520 And the label is faggot. That is on the sexual orientation checklist. Don't shoot the messenger. 1.00

00:58:53.060 I'm just, I'm telling you what the form says. That is now a sexual orientation that you can claim and

00:58:58.040 then get $1,200 from San Francisco if you do. Now, I've often said that many of these new gender 1.00

00:59:05.360 and sexual orientation labels are not really genders orientations, but actually personalities.

00:59:10.540 And there are others who say that they're not genders, sexual orientations, or personalities, 0.96

00:59:14.440 but really are mental illnesses. And I think both are the case. You know, you don't have to choose 0.94

00:59:18.440 between the two. But there's something else too. In many cases, take someone who identifies as a

00:59:24.380 pansexual, multi-gender, demi-boy with AM pronouns. I think it'd be almost making too much of it to call

00:59:31.580 it a personality or a mental illness. It's almost giving it too much credit. Because this is actually

00:59:37.800 just nothing at all. It doesn't mean anything. In so many cases, genders and pronouns now are like

00:59:45.900 hobbies these days. It's a recreational activity. People who have nothing better to do just

00:59:51.480 sit around coming up with and collecting new labels for themselves. It's like this generation's 0.99

00:59:56.960 Pokemon cards. Except it comes with an extra side of identity crisis. And maybe this is partly why

01:00:06.340 San Francisco has so many homeless people. People who can't get jobs. Because the entire city is

01:00:12.060 sitting around thinking about its pronouns and gender identities. These are the kinds of things

01:00:16.580 they're thinking about. Don't have the time to think about or worry about anything else. Like getting a

01:00:22.420 job or housing, for example. I think there may be more to that theory than you think. But we're not

01:00:29.880 going to flesh it all out now. For now, suffice it to say that San Francisco is, for this reason, and so

01:00:36.220 many countless others, canceled. And that'll do it for the show today. I'll be at Berkeley tonight. So

01:00:43.960 that'll be interesting. And if I don't see you there, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Godspeed.

01:00:52.420 you
