The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1068 - Media Narrative Falls Apart As Gay Club Shooter's 'Non-Binary' Identity Is Revealed

00:00:00.080 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, after the media spent days blaming me and other conservatives

00:00:03.820 for the gay club shooting in Colorado, we are now being told that the shooter is a non-binary

00:00:08.460 they-them. Interesting. Also, the Daily Kos is forced to retract an egregious lie they told about

00:00:14.300 me. It is possible, apparently, to hold these left-wing organizations accountable, which is a

00:00:18.460 lesson that we on the right need to learn. Plus, Joy Reid airs footage from a drag queen story hour 1.00

00:00:22.700 hoping to prove that the events are actually appropriate for children, but instead proving

00:00:26.500 the opposite. A woman blames Universal Studio for the fact that she was too fat to fit on the 1.00

00:00:31.340 roller coasters. And finally, someone very close to me must be canceled in today's tragic Daily

00:00:37.560 Cancellation. All of that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:49.700 I've spent this whole week hearing about how I am responsible for a mass shooting in Colorado.

00:00:55.680 This always seemed strange to me as I never committed any mass shooting and I wasn't even

00:01:00.560 in Colorado on the night in question, so my alibi checks out. But I am responsible anyway,

00:01:05.880 they said, because I inspired the psycho who walked into a gay club on Saturday and killed 0.99

00:01:11.540 five people. I inspired him, so did Chris Ruffo and Tucker Carlson and Libs of TikTok and others. 0.76

00:01:17.060 We inspired him specifically by being too openly opposed to the sexualization and castration of

00:01:24.260 children. And such a view apparently inspires murderous rage in people. Now, as I've argued

00:01:32.320 over the last few days, this accusation, which has been made against us by every major media outlet and 0.93

00:01:37.120 by thousands of random leftist ogres online, is absurd and inane and baseless and designed to 0.97

00:01:43.160 blackmail us into accepting the left's abuse of children. That, and it's also an accusation being 0.98

00:01:48.300 made in spite of the fact that we hadn't yet been told anything specific about the shooter or his

00:01:53.180 actual motivations. There was a conspicuous gap in the story. Now, most of the time after a mass

00:01:59.740 shooting, we know the shooter's whole life story within like 30 minutes. His social media posts

00:02:03.900 begin circulating and everything else. And this is especially the case if the shooter is right-wing.

00:02:09.880 If that's the case, then we hear all about his right-wing posts, his right-wing statements,

00:02:15.240 his manifesto is published and picked over. We'll know which right-wing media personalities he

00:02:20.260 followed on Twitter or retweeted. We will know all of that. And yet, in this case, even though the

00:02:26.560 media insisted that the shooter is a right-wing radical inspired by dastardly conservative figures

00:02:30.480 like myself, strangely enough, we were never given any specific information to support that claim.

00:02:36.260 This in spite of the fact that he had been taken alive and has been interviewed by investigators.

00:02:41.400 Even still, we were never told anything about his own stated motives or anything else about his actual

00:02:46.660 life. The only things we knew for sure were some background details, such as the fact that this

00:02:51.340 guy, the same guy, was arrested for threatening to blow up his house last year. We also knew that

00:02:56.100 his grandfather was an obscure, low-level Republican politician, a fact which is supposed to prove

00:03:00.860 something, but which of course proves nothing, as it's not exactly unheard of that a member of Gen Z

00:03:05.540 might have different politics from his grandfather. It also came to light that the shooter's mother is a

00:03:10.860 drug addict and criminal with multiple warrants for her arrest. And his estranged father is a former

00:03:15.840 MMA fighter and drug smuggler who became a porn star who goes by the stage name Dick Delaware.

00:03:22.580 So, what was emerging was a picture of a deranged, demented young man from a broken home and a

00:03:28.120 tumultuous upbringing who lashed out violently in a way that can be partially blamed on many exigent

00:03:34.100 factors, all having to do with the way he was raised and none having to do with this podcast or

00:03:40.500 a libs of TikTok tweet. But then last night, another detail emerged, a detail that may explain

00:03:46.960 why we have heard surprisingly little about the shooter up until now. Despite the shooter being

00:03:51.680 portrayed as an avowed right-winger inspired by conservatives, according to the media, we've not

00:03:56.760 actually been given any evidence, any evidence at all, to support that assertion. And now perhaps we

00:04:00.940 know why. The Denver Post reports, quote,

00:04:02.720 The person suspected of killing five and wounding 18 after opening fire in a gay nightclub in Colorado

00:04:08.100 Springs is non-binary, their defense attorney wrote in court filings Tuesday. Joseph Arkenbald and

00:04:15.180 Michael Bowman, the state public defenders for suspect Anderson Lee Aldrich, filed a slew of motions

00:04:20.500 Tuesday and included a footnote about Aldrich's identity. Quote, Anderson Aldrich is non-binary,

00:04:25.840 the footnote says. They use they-them pronouns and for the purposes of all formal filings will be

00:04:31.040 addressed as Mix Aldrich, M-X Aldrich. And there it is. A non-binary they-them with a porn star father. 0.98

00:04:41.700 Not exactly my target audience. Now, why would someone who identifies that way attack a gay bar? 0.99

00:04:49.280 Well, for many reasons, potentially. It's not at all unheard of for a member of the LGBT community

00:04:53.300 to attack their own community. In fact, it just happened elsewhere in the country this week.

00:04:57.880 In New York City, it was revealed that the culprit who had been smashing windows on a

00:05:01.880 gay bar in Hell's Kitchen is a gay man with some kind of personal grudge against the bar.

00:05:07.460 Of course, the media in that case also assumed right away that this is a right-wing hate attack. 0.98

00:05:11.720 No, it was a gay guy. Could that be the case in Colorado Springs? Maybe. Could it be that this guy 0.85

00:05:17.420 was spurned or rejected by somebody at the club and was lashing out for that reason? Again,

00:05:21.780 maybe. It's quite plausible. I don't know. Could he have some other personal reason? Maybe.

00:05:25.320 We don't know. We may never know. And because not only the media, but local law enforcement and

00:05:30.360 the attorney general of the state have all gone on the record predicting that this was a right-wing

00:05:34.560 crime, it seems likely to me that they'll find a way to force that motivation onto this guy,

00:05:40.500 whether it's true or not. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear in the next few days that he has recanted

00:05:45.920 his non-binary status after some, shall we say, persuasion from the powers that be. Wouldn't 1.00

00:05:53.180 surprise me. Meanwhile, the corporate media is fumbling around for a way to handle this new

00:05:59.300 revelation. On CNN last night, the stunned and nearly speechless news anchor simply decided that

00:06:05.080 she wasn't going to accept the revelation at all. That's how she's handling it. She's just not going

00:06:09.160 to accept it. And let's watch that moment. So attorneys for the accused shooter, Anderson Lee

00:06:16.480 Aldrich, say in new court filings tonight that the suspect now identifies as non-binary. In a footnote

00:06:24.600 to a motion asserting legal privileges, the public defenders say, quote, Anderson Aldrich is non-binary.

00:06:31.200 They use they, them pronouns. And for the purposes of all formal filings will be addressed as mix

00:06:38.320 Aldrich. So in other words, not Mr. or Ms. Joining me now, CNN political commentator Errol Lewis,

00:06:44.700 also back with me, Al Franken and Joe Walsh. I don't know what to say about that. I mean,

00:06:47.700 that's not anything that we had heard from his background. You know, people have been looking

00:06:51.000 into his background and I don't know if anybody here, are you guys lawyers? I mean, you know,

00:06:56.240 I don't know if, I don't know what to say about that. I mean, that's what he's now saying.

00:07:00.480 It sounds like they're trying to prepare a defense against a hate crimes charge. That's the least of his

00:07:05.060 problems, legally speaking. But it looks like they're trying to build some kind of sympathy

00:07:08.820 or at least confusion on the question of whether or not this was purely motivated by hate.

00:07:13.080 Such a, I mean, that is what it sounds like. We'll wait to see.

00:07:17.080 Hmm. Listen to all the misgendering. Shameful. Now, it's possible that the shooter did in fact

00:07:24.840 discover his inner non-binary truth as a convenient way of trying to avoid hate crime charges.

00:07:30.480 That's a possible scenario. Though there are plenty of reasons to doubt such a theory,

00:07:35.440 beginning with the fact that a person who commits a violent hate crime

00:07:38.080 is not likely to assume the identity of the group he hates. I mean, when's the last time you heard

00:07:44.200 about an anti-Semitic shooter killing Jewish people and then converting to Judaism to avoid the hate

00:07:49.660 crime charge two days later? Part of the point of the crime in a case like that is to make a

00:07:56.620 statement. That's why a lot of times there's a manifesto that goes along with it. It's difficult

00:08:00.720 to make the statement when you're immediately identifying yourself with the group that you

00:08:04.560 slaughtered. Also, avoiding the hate crime charge offers no benefit. The killer is going to spend the

00:08:09.360 rest of his life in prison no matter what, whether convicted of a hate crime or convicted simply of

00:08:13.400 five counts of regular old first-degree murder doesn't benefit from it. You're going to prison for

00:08:18.280 the rest of your life, and there's no other option because in Colorado they don't have

00:08:21.120 the death penalty. But this is all essentially irrelevant. The point is that, first of all,

00:08:27.740 first of all, the left has no right to deny anyone's self-identity. That is the rule they

00:08:34.860 established, and they must be held to it. These same people would insist that even when a male sex 0.79

00:08:40.880 offender suddenly comes out as a woman while in prison, we may not even speculate about the

00:08:45.740 possibility that his trans awakening might have been motivated by a desire to gain access to

00:08:51.080 female inmates. And when a man identifies as a woman and next thing you know he's disrobing in 0.78

00:08:54.860 a woman's locker room, we may not even speculate that his trans identification is fueled, at least

00:08:59.920 in part, by his desire to gain access to naked women. There are many self-serving reasons why a

00:09:05.500 person might call themselves trans or non-binary. What we know for sure is that they aren't calling

00:09:09.500 themselves trans or non-binary because they actually are trans or non-binary, since no such category

00:09:14.320 exists in biological reality. It is a made-up, invented, human-made category. So there's always

00:09:21.500 going to be some other reason, be it mental illness or something more calculated and self-serving.

00:09:27.240 I know that, and you know that. But the left denies everything I just said, which means that

00:09:35.900 they have no basis for refusing to respect the shooter's non-binary identity. As far as their

00:09:42.740 ideology is concerned, if he says he's a they, then he's a they, and that's all there is to it. 0.60

00:09:48.480 That is their belief. That's the precedent that they on the left have set, and we will for damn 0.98

00:09:53.860 certain force them to live by it. Anytime you hear someone on the left say, well, maybe he's not,

00:10:00.700 you're not allowed to do that. You are not allowed to do that. You do not have the right to do it.

00:10:04.440 You can't. Because according to you, the only thing necessary to prove that someone is non-binary 1.00

00:10:11.680 is for them to say that they are non-binary. That's it. No other evidence required. No

00:10:17.620 counter evidence is allowed to be admitted. So if you're on the left, you're stuck. Again,

00:10:25.180 you set the precedent. You have to respect his identity. I don't. I don't have to respect it,

00:10:30.620 and I don't. I don't respect anything about this guy. But you do, because these are your rules.

00:10:36.460 So take your own medicine and choke on it. Second point, whatever else comes out about this guy,

00:10:45.560 sorry, this them, we already know enough to know that the media jumped to wild and baseless

00:10:51.840 conclusions. They did it without evidence, and in spite of the evidence that was already known,

00:10:56.580 and they did it so quickly and so furiously, precisely so that they could set the narrative

00:11:02.440 before the truth, whatever the truth happens to be, comes out. They never cared about the victims.

00:11:09.400 They are happy that those people were killed. This is what you have to understand about the media

00:11:14.480 if you don't yet. They are happy that it happened. Their only regret is that Moore didn't die to make

00:11:21.040 this an even bigger story, because to the scurrying, skulking little roaches in the media,

00:11:26.960 the only thing that matters is that this event gives them an opportunity to slander and defame their

00:11:32.860 enemies, like me, like Tucker Carlson, like Liz at TikTok, Chris Ruffo, Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro,

00:11:38.400 and others. It's all that matters to them. We're all owed apologies. I mean, whatever else happens

00:11:45.940 next, we are owed apologies. But of course, we'll never get them. We'll have to be satisfied with

00:11:51.420 the simple knowledge that those who seek always to destroy us with lies and libel are nothing but 0.99

00:11:56.860 soulless charlatans and bloodthirsty sociopaths who can barely contain their orgasmic glee whenever 0.96

00:12:03.600 there's a tragedy, because it gives them ratings, and it gives them political ammunition, and those two 0.97

00:12:08.820 things are the only two things they care about in this world. I consider it a great honor to be

00:12:15.760 hated so much by such loathsome, disgusting trolls as these. And I take solace in the knowledge that 1.00

00:12:22.660 they have nuked their own credibility, so that at this point, their lies can only convince a sad and 1.00

00:12:27.680 dwindling collection of the dumbest and most gullible idiots to ever walk the face of the earth. 1.00

00:12:33.940 All the rest of us are impervious to their propaganda. That's why the corporate media is dying, 1.00

00:12:40.460 and we'll eventually be dead. And when it's finally dead, we will dance joyfully on its grave,

00:12:47.860 the way they dance on the graves of mass shooting victims.

00:12:52.160 The only difference is that they will deserve the desecration.

00:12:55.420 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:13:04.320 If we're going to change the culture, we need to reassess our spending habits and start supporting

00:13:08.960 like-minded companies. That's why you need to switch to the pro-life, pro-family cell phone

00:13:13.580 company, Charity Mobile. Charity Mobile has the same great nationwide mobile phone service and coverage

00:13:18.320 as other carriers, and they send 5% of your monthly plan price to the pro-life, pro-family

00:13:23.820 charity of your choice. You don't have to compromise on value or service. Charity Mobile offers the

00:13:27.780 latest phones and tablets and live customer service based right here in the USA. While many other

00:13:32.340 companies are bowing to the woke mob by donating to pro-choice causes and candidates or reimbursing

00:13:37.040 their employees' travel expenses so that if they live and work in a pro-life state, they can travel

00:13:41.300 to a pro-abortion state, get an abortion, and be back at work on Monday. While they're doing that, 0.98

00:13:45.480 Charity Mobile continues to fight for the right to life. Pro-life causes need your continued support.

00:13:50.600 Now, through the end of the year, Charity Mobile customers get a free phone, free activation,

00:13:55.400 free shipping, and free portable battery charger while supplies last. All you got to do is mention

00:14:00.960 offer code Walsh. Call 1-877-474-3662 or chat with them online at charitymobile.com. Mention

00:14:06.720 offer code Walsh. That's charitymobile.com. Mention code Walsh. Of course, talking about the lies from the

00:14:12.980 media, I would be remiss if I didn't mention none were more egregious, as I mentioned briefly yesterday,

00:14:18.320 than the Daily Kos, which published a headline yesterday, quoting me as saying that I wish more 0.98

00:14:24.540 people were killed at the gay club. Quoting, they put it in quotes. They put it in Matt Walsh quote, 0.98

00:14:30.360 and they put that in quotes, that I wish more people were killed. Of course, I never said that

00:14:34.380 or anything close to that. But leftist propaganda rags like the Daily Kos, they have grown accustomed

00:14:38.940 to just sort of casually defaming conservatives with no consequence. Because that's the world they've

00:14:44.780 been living in for years. They can just do whatever they want and say whatever they want,

00:14:49.860 and there is no consequence because nobody ever holds them to anything, to any kind of standard.

00:14:57.440 I mean, conservatives have complained about it. No one holds them to a standard.

00:15:01.260 But then there was never any attempt to make them abide by any standard.

00:15:04.820 But that world is gone. Okay, those days are over. Because I'm not going to tolerate it, I can tell

00:15:13.000 you that. So I demanded a published retraction and correction. They did, when I first pointed this out,

00:15:21.080 they pretty quickly took the article down. They just deleted it. And they were hoping that would be

00:15:28.740 enough. But then I responded by saying, no, no, no, you can't just delete it. Okay, you need to retract

00:15:35.620 it. And you need to publish your retraction and admit what you did. And about an hour or so later,

00:15:44.760 they did that. They published, they took the headline down. They put the article back up without

00:15:50.020 the headline. Instead, now it says retracted. And then they have this note at the top.

00:15:54.560 In a previous headline for this article, we misattributed a quote to Matt Walsh. We regret

00:15:59.140 not properly quoting Walsh's tweet. This article is in direct violation of our editorial policy,

00:16:04.820 and we have removed it. Now, I must say that I do find it quite pleasurable to think about how

00:16:10.460 painful it was for them to bend to my will and give in to my demands and admit that they lied about me.

00:16:16.520 That's got to be very painful. Like to have to do something that I said, that would be as painful

00:16:21.900 for them as it would be for me if I had to do something to the Daily Coast. Can you imagine

00:16:24.520 if the Daily Coast demanded that I do something, that I say something, and then I said it?

00:16:29.660 Like I would rather be dead than that. I would choose death over that. That's how disgusting that

00:16:35.240 thought is to me. And yet they, for them, they didn't choose death before dishonor. They took the 0.93

00:16:41.980 dishonor and they just went ahead and published that, which is great. Now, true, they don't apologize

00:16:48.100 to me directly. I could also still sue them. In fact, they admit guilt in their retraction. That's

00:16:54.880 the great part. They could have tried to claim. Keep in mind, they could have tried to claim that

00:16:58.600 the headline was worded confusingly and it was being misinterpreted or something. That would be

00:17:05.460 total nonsense, of course, but they could have claimed that. And obviously, they have no compunction

00:17:09.140 about lying. So they already lied in the headline. They could lie again to try to get out of this

00:17:13.420 pickle they put themselves in, but they don't. Instead, they admit that they misattributed the

00:17:20.120 quote to me. See, I think their defenders on the left, before they took the article down,

00:17:25.880 their defenders were saying that, no, they're not even trying to quote you. You're lying about what

00:17:30.140 the article is. They're not quoting you. That's not what the intention. Well, they kind of pulled the

00:17:35.300 rug out from underneath their own defenders by saying, yeah, we misattributed the quote to him.

00:17:38.480 That's what we did. Leaving the door wide open for me to sue them anyway.

00:17:43.800 But whatever happens, the fact is they did backtrack, not out of any kind of ethical journalistic

00:17:49.020 standard, okay? So I don't want any of this, well, give them some credit for doing the right thing.

00:17:52.740 No, no. They did it because I forced them to. They had no option because they knew that I would get

00:17:59.060 lawyers involved and I would sue them and I would win. And so that's why they did the right thing.

00:18:04.380 All right. Let's see. Let's move to this. Daily Wire is reporting. The National Hockey League took

00:18:10.920 some heat over a Tuesday tweet promoting a transgender and non-binary hockey tournament

00:18:15.880 and a follow-up comment asserting, trans women are women, trans men are men, non-binary identity is

00:18:24.000 real. The tournament in question, the Team Trans Draft Tournament, took place over the weekend in

00:18:29.920 Middleton, Wisconsin, and included only trans and non-binary players. On Tuesday, the NHL's official

00:18:36.460 Twitter account shared several photos from the tournament along with a statement showing support

00:18:41.240 for the event. It said, the NHL is proud to support this past weekend's Team Trans Draft Tournament

00:18:48.060 in Middleton, Wisconsin. This was the first tournament comprised entirely of transgender and

00:18:53.460 non-binary players with around 80 folks participating. And then that's when they responded to someone else

00:19:00.920 saying that trans women are women, trans men are men, non-binary identity is real. What we have to

00:19:06.400 understand is that every institution and organization at this point is basically run by blue-haired liberal 0.94

00:19:12.500 women and gay liberal men. That's every organization in America is either run by such or operates as 0.85

00:19:22.280 though it is. Which is how you get the NHL tweeting something that it sounds like it's, you know, you

00:19:29.480 imagine a blue-haired 22-year-old gender studies major saying that. And this is what you're getting 0.94

00:19:35.640 from the NHL, which used to be, I've never been a hockey fan, but I've always respected hockey at least

00:19:40.760 as a kind of rough and tumble masculine sport. And even there, tweeting this stuff. Trying to appeal to

00:19:51.220 an audience that will never be their customer base. Like, the people who want to hear that kind of

00:19:58.780 thing, trans women are women. Non-binary identities are real. Like, the demographic of people who find

00:20:08.240 that sort of thing appealing, this is a demographic that is not watching hockey, okay? And that's not even

00:20:16.760 to say that nobody, no liberal identifying person watches hockey. I'm sure there are. But even they, like,

00:20:24.660 it's not going to be the kind of liberal that needs to hear you say that.

00:20:30.780 So this is just these woke institutions committing, it's like, it's suicide. It's self-destruction.

00:20:38.440 You really don't gain anything from it. They're not going to profit off of this.

00:20:46.940 And this isn't even a case, you know, sometimes you have these organizations, corporations,

00:20:51.760 that will go woke in response to some sort of controversy. So it would almost be, it would still

00:20:59.860 not be justifiable, but it would almost be a different case if you had, say, I don't know,

00:21:03.160 some NHL player who said something, who dared to say out loud that, you know, women are women and

00:21:09.860 men are men, and then was getting a lot of heat from it from the media. And then the NHL responded

00:21:16.780 by saying, oh, we don't believe that. We believe that trans women are women. So that would be a 1.00

00:21:20.780 case of them trying to dig themselves out of a hole. It would still be, again, unjustifiable and a

00:21:27.180 stupid thing to do. But you understand the motivation anyway. They're just cowardly trying to dig 0.99

00:21:31.900 themselves out of this PR hole by pandering to the left. But in this case, it's an unforced error. 0.89

00:21:38.980 Like, they could have just not tweeted that. You don't need to, no one needed to see you tweet that.

00:21:44.100 The only thing you can hope to do is alienate the audience you already have. Because again,

00:21:48.160 you're not going to attract, whatever audience finds that kind of statement really appealing,

00:21:52.560 you're not going to attract them. They're not watching hockey.

00:21:57.280 That's why wokeness, it really does, especially when it comes to these corporations,

00:22:01.540 it reminds me of a lot. I was thinking of this the other day. You know that there's a certain kind

00:22:07.760 of parasite. It's like a brain parasite. It's toxoplasma, something or other, that can infest 1.00

00:22:14.660 mice. And when the mice are infested by this parasite, it causes the mice to be suicidal,

00:22:21.940 actually makes them attracted to cats. And so they will run to their own death. They will run into

00:22:28.220 the mouths of a waiting cat that's going to devour them. They embrace their own destruction

00:22:34.560 because that's the parasite. Because the parasite really wants to end up inside the cat. And so this 0.96

00:22:39.120 is the way that it's evolved. It's a really similar thing with wokeness, I think. It causes this kind of

00:22:45.860 self-destructive instinct, especially in corporations. They just run to their own destruction

00:22:50.940 in a very similar kind of way. Yes, wokeness is a brain parasite. Maybe the best way to describe it. 1.00

00:23:01.500 Speaking of people with brain parasites, Joy Reid attempted to defend drag queen groomer hours by 1.00

00:23:08.380 showing a video from one that she attended. And it does show you how, I mean, out of touch doesn't even

00:23:15.160 begin to describe it. But it does show you how out of touch these people are. That she thinks that

00:23:20.460 this, she thinks that you'll watch this and then you'll come to the conclusion that, oh, actually,

00:23:25.620 it's great to have combined kids and drag queens. Let's see. And I just want to before, just to go on,

00:23:32.260 because I don't think most people have ever seen one. I've been to one with kids there, with kids

00:23:36.400 there. I want to show you guys what drag queen story hours look like, because there was a drag show

00:23:40.780 that was supposed to be at this club when this attack happened. I just want those who don't know

00:23:44.960 what they look like to see what one looks like. This is cut two. Please play this.

00:23:49.120 The hair. So a lot of drag queens have really big, big, big hair. So the hair on the drag queen goes 1.00

00:23:57.080 up, up, up. So you can put your hands on your head like this and go up, up, up. So the hair on the drag queen 0.98

00:24:05.860 goes up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up. The hair on the drag queen goes up, up, up all through 0.71

00:24:15.780 the town. Good job. And, you know, it makes me sad, Brandon, that that scares right wing people so

00:24:25.820 much that they would try to ban it or your governor sued people over it. And then people act surprised

00:24:31.000 when there's violence against people who are trans and LGBTQ. Your thoughts.

00:24:40.000 Yeah, that's, so she plays that and then she's, oh, you have a problem with this? Yeah, we do.

00:24:44.920 That's, yeah, that's exactly what we have a problem with. That's disturbing and weird. And so you've got

00:24:50.640 a drag, we got a man in drag, you have a cross-dressing man who is playing out his cross-dressing 0.99

00:24:55.920 fetish. It's what it is. And, and so, and he's singing about his fetish to kids to the tune of

00:25:04.480 the wheels on the bus. And, and yeah, are we scared of that? I'm not personally scared of that guy in

00:25:13.580 the dress. I'm not, I don't personally fear for my physical safety because of him. I feel pretty

00:25:20.540 certain that I could, you know, handle it if, if I was ever physically threatened by a drag queen. 0.99

00:25:27.420 That's, that's, that's not the issue. It's the kids. And yeah, I'm scared for the kids for their

00:25:33.940 sake. I'm scared about them being exposed to this kind of propaganda. I'm scared for them because

00:25:40.920 someone should be. It is, it is a scary thought. Yes, it is a, it is actually a scary thought of

00:25:46.620 children being brought into rooms to be, um, indoctrinated by drag queens. And you notice 1.00

00:25:53.480 what she doesn't do. Like we talked about yesterday, they continually insist that we defend our

00:25:59.900 position that it's inappropriate to bring drag queens around children. We can easily do that. 1.00

00:26:06.500 Drag queen drag is inherently sexual. It is burlesque for gay men. That is what it is. That is what it is 1.00

00:26:11.540 historically. That's what it's always been. And so it's not appropriate for kids. So we can explain

00:26:15.900 that, but what they will not do is actually explain why this is good. Like why we need to do this. So

00:26:23.520 you've got a, you've got a man dressed in drag, reading a story and reading a song in the, to the

00:26:29.060 tune of, uh, or singing a song to the tune of the wheels on the bus. Why not just sing the wheels on the

00:26:34.720 bus? Why can't you do that instead? Answer me that, Joy Reid. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with

00:26:42.140 the wheels on the bus? Why can't you just sing that song? Instead of making it about drag queens, 0.98

00:26:47.600 why not read, sing about the damn school bus? As many generations of kids before these kids already 1.00

00:26:54.220 have. And if you want to have someone read stories to children, sounds great to me. I'm all about

00:27:01.800 reading stories to children. It's a very important thing for their development is to sit them down for

00:27:05.920 story time and read them stories. I read books to my kids all the time. Story time at the library,

00:27:11.700 very common. I attended story times at libraries when I was a child, but you know who read the

00:27:17.140 books? The librarian or someone like that. And very often it was a woman, like an actual woman 0.94

00:27:22.980 who would come out and read a book and maybe do a sing-along. So that's the way it was done before.

00:27:31.500 Why can't you just do that? Why can't, if you, if you want someone dressed like a woman reading to 1.00

00:27:37.840 kids, why not an actual woman? Why not a real one? How is it improved by swapping out the woman for a 1.00

00:27:46.820 guy dressed like one? What is the added benefit there? What's the value added in your mind?

00:27:57.120 They never explain it. They can't explain it. They know they can't. Because then they would have to

00:28:02.620 say out loud that the reason that they would prefer the drag queen instead of the librarian

00:28:06.900 is that they have an ideological and political agenda that is not advanced by having librarians

00:28:14.000 read innocuous stories and sing songs about school buses to kids. And anytime there are children

00:28:20.220 gathered, they see it as an opportunity because they are groomers. They see it as an opportunity

00:28:25.000 to groom the children and indoctrinate them. They say it's like, it's a wasted opportunity as far

00:28:29.380 as they're concerned. The joy reads of the world. If you've got kids gathered at the library,

00:28:33.060 it's a wasted opportunity. If you're not using it as a chance to, you know, disseminate LGBT propaganda. 0.69

00:28:46.940 But they are so lost at this point, they are so lost. Their souls have just been, have been,

00:28:56.060 have rotted away to the point where they, I actually believe that they don't see it.

00:29:04.140 Like she, she admits, she brought a kid to drag queen story house. She just, she doesn't even

00:29:08.040 see what the problem is. She does not intuitively see what the problem is with having a man act out

00:29:15.340 his cross-dressing fetish in front of her children. Every person on earth would have intuitively seen 0.92

00:29:21.520 that up until recently. But, um, for, for people on the left, especially those who have been on the

00:29:27.980 left for, you know, are older now and have been living this way for so long, their moral intuition,

00:29:33.980 that kind of innate instinct has, it's still there somewhere, somewhere deep inside, but it's buried

00:29:41.820 deep in their subconscious somewhere. And they don't have immediate access to it.

00:29:46.140 And that's what makes conversation between us so difficult. Because they don't have this basic

00:29:54.880 moral intuition. Or at least it's, it's so deeply buried. And so that's why a lot of, especially a

00:30:01.820 lot of just normal people, you know, even if they don't identify as conservative, just normal people

00:30:05.900 will hear about drag queen story hour and they object to it. And they're trying to talk to the left

00:30:12.260 and they say, no, of course we're not. What? Why would you have to bring kids in front of a drag 1.00

00:30:16.300 queen? It's like, it's, it's, it's almost hard for them to explain because it's so obvious.

00:30:22.580 They never thought that they would have to explain that.

00:30:27.720 All right. What else do we got here? Let's, uh, lighten the mood a little bit. At least this

00:30:34.840 lightens the mood for us. Uh, this is from Yahoo says, a mom says that her trip to Universal Studios

00:30:41.420 was ruined when she couldn't go on any rides because they weren't size inclusive. 0.75

00:30:47.460 And, uh, they were trying out the test seats in front of crowds of people with no privacy,

00:30:52.060 which felt like an embarrassing spectacle. So this is, uh, one of the latest viral videos on TikTok.

00:30:57.660 And anyway, instead of reading about it, we'll hear her tell the story of, uh, going to,

00:31:03.600 she was victimized. She says that, she says that, uh, Universal Studios is not size inclusive

00:31:08.180 because of this experience that she had. Let's listen.

00:31:12.820 Hi TikTok. I'm going to tell you a story about how this woman is too fat to fit on any roller 1.00

00:31:17.440 coasters at Universal Studios. Please know that I am under no illusion that I am thin. I'm not.

00:31:23.460 I have an hourglass body. I have giant boobs. My ass and thighs are enormous. But what I am teaching 0.93

00:31:31.020 my children and what I am teaching the team of people that I work with is that a body like this 1.00

00:31:35.320 is capable of climbing mountains and of doing good things and even capable of having pretty solid

00:31:40.340 blood work, which we would consider healthy, right? So please know there is no fever dream that exists

00:31:45.860 where I think that I'm thin or that I couldn't possibly stand to lose some weight. Don't come

00:31:51.140 for me in the comments. I already know. What I don't like is taking my daughter on a girl's trip for 1.00

00:31:57.680 her 13th birthday, um, and not being able to spend time with her. She had to ride all of these roller

00:32:04.240 coasters alone because I was too fat to fit into any of them. I had to sit in the test seat, um,

00:32:12.280 where ahead of me, a very large man had been able to make it click. Um, so I sat in the test seat for

00:32:19.180 the VelociCoaster and it wouldn't click because of my hips, my thighs and my butt. Um, I was very

00:32:27.220 disappointed. I love roller coasters and I have spent so much time trying to get this child to

00:32:34.240 love herself and her body and understand that. All right. Pause it there for a second.

00:32:40.160 Um, first of all, where do you get off body shaming that man, a very large man? Is that as body

00:32:47.960 shaming? First of all, to say that. And second, everything we've heard so far, right? It's like

00:32:55.020 you have to wait till you get to the conclusion where this is all leading, like the point that

00:32:58.140 she's trying to make, because what you've heard so far, if this was it, I would feel sympathy. It's

00:33:04.820 like when you hear, um, a, uh, an obese person on a plane and the embarrassment of having to ask for

00:33:10.600 a seatbelt extender or, you know, walking onto the plane and knowing that everybody's looking and

00:33:15.360 thinking like, Oh, I hope that person isn't sitting next to me. That's that if you are the person who's

00:33:21.200 the target of, of that, uh, that is very difficult. And I could have a lot of sympathy for you for

00:33:28.720 that, you know, taking your kid to an amusement park and you can't fit on any of the rides.

00:33:35.600 It's humiliating. It's depressing. It's disappointing. You can't ride with your child.

00:33:41.700 So all of that, right? I sympathize. If what you're leading up to is you saying that, well,

00:33:51.400 this is really difficult. This is a really terrible thing. And so it's, it's made me realize

00:33:55.380 that I need to lose weight. Okay. If that's where all this leading, I would, I would sympathize with

00:34:00.800 what you went through and I would have a lot of respect for the fact that you've, you know,

00:34:04.600 you've confronted this situation. You've realized that you need to take the bull by the horns here

00:34:09.060 and take control of your life, take control of your diet and all that. And I would, I, I,

00:34:13.100 that's all we would say about it. And you do hear this, these kinds of stories sometimes from people

00:34:18.260 who are overweight, overweight, and especially people that were, you know, very overweight,

00:34:22.900 overweight, very unhealthy. And then they, they had a dramatic turnaround. And if you talk to

00:34:27.440 anybody like that, they almost always have a story like this, like a moment of, you know,

00:34:33.260 this kind of epiphany, but not that they didn't know that they were overweight before, but just a

00:34:36.140 moment where they're like, this is it. I can't do this anymore. And those stories, again, they're,

00:34:42.640 they're sad, but they also be inspirational if they lead to a, to a turnaround. That's not where she's

00:34:49.300 going though. And that's the problem. So let's keep watching a little bit of this.

00:34:54.240 Everyone's body is capable of doing the things that they want to do. And this was

00:34:59.840 extremely disappointing and very humiliating.

00:35:05.240 The next one that we tried was Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.

00:35:08.640 I couldn't fit into either seat because they wouldn't lock over my thighs. At that point,

00:35:15.320 I was so humiliated that I didn't even try to sit in the test seats for Harry Potter and the Forbidden

00:35:21.360 Journey. I've ridden this ride before. Did I want to ride it with her? Of course.

00:35:26.560 But I did not want to be humiliated in front of hundreds of people sitting in the test seat again.

00:35:31.420 I just, I couldn't do it. So we walked over to the Incredible Hulk coaster, which is one of my

00:35:38.680 favorite roller coasters ever. I've ridden it hundreds of times because I used to work at Universal.

00:35:42.420 I didn't realize how small the seats are. And so I sat in the test seat there and I was like sitting

00:35:48.140 on top of the seat. So I tried the modified seat and even that made my hips hurt so bad.

00:35:55.520 By the time we got through the line, I had decided not to ride because it was very uncomfortable.

00:36:00.920 I've recently been at Six Flags and at Disney and I've had no problem with the coasters there.

00:36:05.620 I'm so disappointed in Universal and...

00:36:09.280 Okay, there it is. I was waiting for that. Good. I think we heard.

00:36:13.340 Where's this all leading? It's like the whole sob story. And then where's it going?

00:36:19.220 Is it leading to, oh my gosh, I've realized I can't even fit on roller coaster rides with my child.

00:36:24.640 It's getting, this is not only bad for my health, but it's getting in the way of my life.

00:36:30.340 And it's interfering with opportunities to bond with my child. I got to take control. I am starting

00:36:35.400 a diet. I'm going to start exercising. Is it leading there? No. Instead, it's leading to,

00:36:39.480 I'm so disappointed in Universal. So rather than, this is from her perspective, rather than me making

00:36:46.580 a change and going on a diet, I want Universal Studios to redesign all of their rides so that I

00:36:53.640 can fit on them. Right? There's a problem here, which is I can't fit on the rides. There are two

00:36:59.060 possible solutions. One is that I go on a diet. And the other is that this theme park completely

00:37:05.920 rearrange everything to accommodate me. And of course, she goes with the latter option,

00:37:11.380 which involves her doing nothing and everyone else accommodating her. 0.91

00:37:14.940 And, but in the meantime, anyway, like even if you're so unreasonable, narcissistic as to expect

00:37:21.180 that to happen, what do you expect them to do in the moment? Do you want them to, if you don't fit

00:37:26.040 on the ride, you want them to put you on the ride anyway? There was just a case, I think it was last

00:37:29.620 summer. I forget where it was, but there was a tragic case of a young man. I think it was a kid,

00:37:35.540 actually a teenager who fell off of a ride and was killed. And the reason that he fell off is because

00:37:42.260 he was too big for the ride. Now in his case, it wasn't just like, he was a big person. He was very,

00:37:46.800 very tall, like a, you know, kind of a football lineman sort of size. And they put him on the,

00:37:51.700 on the ride, even though he didn't fit and he fell off and he was killed.

00:37:55.940 So that's why they have the size restrictions. It's for your own sake. If they put you on anyway,

00:37:59.900 you could die. And that's going to be terrible for you and your family. And also from the company's

00:38:05.380 perspective, self-servingly, they get sued into oblivion. And so that's why they're not going to do

00:38:09.720 that. So what do you expect in the moment? What do you want them to do for you? It's just the,

00:38:14.480 the rides are designed how they're designed. Do you want them to put your physical safety

00:38:21.280 below as, do you want them to, to have less concern for your physical safety than for your emotional

00:38:27.240 wellbeing? You want them to prioritize your emotional wellbeing over your physical safety

00:38:32.720 and then say, well, if it makes you feel better, go ahead and ride. And if you fall off and are killed,

00:38:37.640 that's the answer. Yes. She actually wants that. She wants her emotional wellbeing to be 0.98

00:38:43.140 prioritized over her physical safety, but it's everyone else that needs to prioritize her emotional

00:38:49.360 wellbeing, not herself. Cause there are things she could do for her emotional wellbeing. Going on a

00:38:55.220 diet will also help her emotional wellbeing, but she's not going to do that. She wants everybody else 0.99

00:38:58.420 to accommodate. Okay. Let's get to the comment section.

00:40:14.200 Mark says, aren't all crimes hate crimes? Well, no, not all crimes. I get the point you're trying to make, but not

00:40:22.260 every crime is necessarily a hate crime. There are crimes motivated by greed, crimes motivated by crimes

00:40:33.740 of passion and so on. So crimes motivated by lots of things. But you're correct that hatred, this is

00:40:39.980 the absurdity of the whole hate crime idea, is that certainly with murder, it stands to reason that

00:40:50.840 hatred is involved in most crime, most murder, like most murder involves hatred.

00:40:59.280 You're killing someone, so it's pretty obvious that you don't feel good about them, you don't like

00:41:04.780 them. So whoever you're killing, it's like, it stands to reason you probably hate them. So there's

00:41:11.240 hatred involved in almost all murder. And we end up with this ridiculous situation where we're asking

00:41:17.420 ourselves, well, you know, the mass shooting at the gay club, was this a hate crime or not? Of course it was a hate 0.97

00:41:24.620 crime, no matter, no matter why he did it, like whether, whether he was a non-binary gay, whatever himself, or if he

00:41:30.000 was a right wing, but obviously he had hate in his heart for the people that he was killing, no matter what. And what

00:41:37.100 we're told is that as long as he didn't hate them for being gay, then it's not as bad as if he did. Why is that the

00:41:43.940 case? What if he just, what if he hated them on a personal level? What if he, I'm not saying I know

00:41:48.980 this to be the case, but what if he knew them personally, the people that he targeted, right?

00:41:52.580 Let's just say, you know, for the sake of argument, and he hated them personally because he was envious or

00:41:58.340 jealous or whatever it was. He's carrying his own resentment. Is that not as bad as hating them for their

00:42:04.440 sexual orientation? I would say that it's at least as bad. And splitting hairs here is ridiculous. 0.95

00:42:13.320 So with the hate crime thing, what we end up with is when there's a murder, not only is, has the

00:42:17.700 court system put themselves in the position of peering inside someone's heart to determine whether 0.91

00:42:22.300 they had hate in their heart while they did it, which by the way, how could you possibly even prove

00:42:25.600 that? But also then, then once they've done that, now they're determining which kinds of hatred are

00:42:31.880 worse than others. It's ridiculous. It doesn't make any sense. And it also, you know what else? It assumes 0.97

00:42:40.920 that hatred is the worst kind of, like crimes motivated by hatred are the worst kinds of crimes of all.

00:42:49.080 And I don't even think that's true. Because you know the other thing that could have motivated this

00:42:52.820 scumbag? Yeah, maybe he was enraged, hateful, very, very likely. Whatever the, whatever was the reason 1.00

00:42:59.720 for the hatred, it's very likely. But then you also hear about mass shootings. And, and you hear from the,

00:43:05.840 from the, the witnesses, the victims that survived. And they, they, they talk about what it was like when

00:43:12.060 they were there. And oftentimes they describe a mass shooter who's just sort of casually walking around

00:43:18.160 shooting people, almost like he looks almost bored while he's doing it. Dead in the eyes, nothing there,

00:43:23.300 totally vacant. So you do have mass shootings where someone's screaming and like spittle flecked rage.

00:43:30.980 Okay. And that's, and they're fueled by hatred. Whatever's behind the hatred, they're fueled by

00:43:34.740 hatred. There's a lot of mass shootings where it seems that it's more that they're motivated by total

00:43:39.660 indifference to human life. They can't even care about life enough to hate people. They can't even get to

00:43:46.640 that level. Totally indifferent. These are absolutely empty people who, because they don't care about

00:43:53.360 human life at all, they're just killing people like it's a video game. And why are they doing it?

00:43:56.940 Who knows? For, for entertainment, because, you know, for, for, uh, to feel like some kind of power

00:44:03.740 over people, to feel, whatever the psychological thing is behind it. It's actually indifference that

00:44:09.440 drives it. And I would argue that people who are totally indifferent to human life are actually even

00:44:14.800 more dangerous than people who are motivated by hatred. But both are really, really bad. And as far

00:44:22.320 as I'm concerned, the penalty should be the same for both. And the penalty should be the ultimate

00:44:26.600 penalty, which is, which is death. All right. Uh, BLK Hemi says, child beauty pageant should be added 0.92

00:44:36.340 into this discussion. What about drag, drag shows? Well, sure. And you know, this is always brought up

00:44:41.100 whenever we talk about the, uh, child drag shows and people say, what about child beauty pageants?

00:44:45.320 Yeah. The only reason we don't talk about those is that, uh, number one, thank God they're not,

00:44:50.860 they don't seem to be nearly as common these days. And that's because number two, almost everyone now

00:44:56.200 agrees, thank God, that child beauty pageants are creepy and weird. And, and, uh, there was a time when

00:45:01.360 they were popular and they had, there were, uh, reality shows about them, but those days are over now.

00:45:06.180 And like everyone agrees right and left. It's, it's, it's very hard to find a defender of child

00:45:12.000 beauty pageants. Everyone agrees that it's just creepy and weird. And we shouldn't be parading

00:45:14.860 little girls around on stage for that purpose. So we're in agreement there, which is good.

00:45:22.160 The problem though, is that people on the left who will say that child beauty pageants are creepy

00:45:27.100 and weird will make an exception for child drag shows. And so what they're saying is that if you dress

00:45:34.440 a little girl up all girly and you parade around on stage, that's creepy. But if you dress a little 0.99

00:45:40.200 boy up in a girly way and parade him around on stage at a gay club, when people are throwing dollars

00:45:45.400 at him, that's not creepy. So when it comes to the, to the child beauty pageant thing, the, the

00:45:51.260 contradiction in hypocrisy as always is completely on the left. Uh, Alex says a few years ago, before I

00:46:01.320 left the left, I frequently attended drag shows. What really changed my mind about them is when I

00:46:05.440 witnessed a child putting money in a drag queen's bra while the mother cheered this on. It was 0.69

00:46:11.220 disgusting. And it's one of the events that caused me to shift politically. Well, at least you had your

00:46:15.320 eyes open and you're willing to deal with what you were actually seeing and think critically about

00:46:20.260 it. So you, you deserve some credit for that. You have a child putting a dollar bill into a drag

00:46:27.300 queen's bra. And we're told that it's totally appropriate and there's nothing sexual about it.

00:46:35.000 Oh, you know, those, those, you know, all those completely non-sexual contexts in which you would

00:46:39.780 stuff money into someone's underwear, you know, happens all the time in a non-sexual way.

00:46:47.140 And then Lynette says, I would have thought that Matt of all people would understand the joy of

00:46:51.380 getting heated over some inconsequential niche interest. Fair enough. Fair enough. I was getting

00:46:57.000 on, uh, you know, Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharp's case yesterday for screaming at each other over a

00:47:01.920 football game and whether a quarterback played well or not. And, uh, there were more, there's more than

00:47:06.680 one person who pointed out that, you know, I can tend to get heated and about things that would seem

00:47:11.860 to be rather inconsequential. So maybe I should be more understanding.

00:47:15.220 Maybe you're right, but actually, but, but then again, you're not, and you're actually banned from

00:47:22.400 the show because the things that I talk about are not inconsequential at all. What, give me an

00:47:26.600 example. Give me an example, Lynette, of an inconsequential thing that I have gotten passionate

00:47:31.880 about, you know, or angry about on this show. You can't do it. What, are you going to say shopping

00:47:37.700 carts? Well, that's not inconsequential at all. As we have discussed many times, someone's putting an

00:47:43.580 emoji up on the screen. Emojis again. This, so, uh, uh, emojis, shopping carts, we're dealing with

00:47:50.340 stuff that, that, that is, that's a harbinger of total civilizational collapse. So inconsequential,

00:48:00.160 I don't think so. The new Daily Wire Plus store is live and it is your one-stop shop for everything

00:49:12.480 studies scholar and so many other things, but we also took the fight to the streets, so to speak,

00:49:16.460 and we took some ground with the rally to end child mutilation. We released Candace Owens'

00:49:21.500 documentary, The Greatest Lie Ever Sold, and as if all that wasn't enough, we signed Jordan Peterson,

00:49:54.080 and come join us now. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:50:00.380 Before we head into the Thanksgiving holiday, I must discuss something that happened last week.

00:50:05.240 Actually, it's two things. Both occurred during the Q&A portion of my speech at Berkeley on Thursday

00:50:09.380 night. There are two people who must be considered candidates for cancellation as a result of the

00:50:14.440 Q&A, and since we've run out of time in the week, we have to cover them both in today's daily

00:50:19.060 cancellation and decide who's the one who should get canceled. So first, we start with a man named Jacob,

00:50:23.740 who, to his credit, actually had the guts to confront me on camera during the Q&A. Over the course of our

00:50:29.000 what-is-a-woman college tour, stopping at six or seven different schools, there were only two or 1.00

00:50:33.060 three leftists in the whole time who dared to debate me in person, and most of the rest stood outside

00:50:37.860 screaming, holding signs, eating the Bible, in at least one case anyway. Jacob was one of the select

00:50:44.720 few, though unfortunately he squandered the opportunity by retreating and taking cover behind

00:50:50.200 a desperate appeal to authority, as they so often do. Here's how that conversation began.

00:50:55.060 Why in your movies and your discussions do you selectively ignore and misrepresent the recent

00:51:01.760 burgeoning medical and behavioral literature that demonstrates that gender-forming care and

00:51:09.260 similar medical interventions demonstrate consistent improvements to mental health,

00:51:14.620 suicidality, and general well-being?

00:51:17.740 Which study are those?

00:51:19.160 There are probably like 30 studies by this point, all produced in the last like 10 years or so.

00:51:23.180 So anybody can look them up on...

00:51:25.240 Okay, well just, here's the problem. Here's the problem. I'm not impressed by just you saying

00:51:32.040 a study, okay?

00:51:33.380 No, there are studies.

00:51:34.700 Fine. Well, there could be a hundred studies. There could be a thousand studies.

00:51:36.900 You can read them.

00:51:37.620 Great, yeah. And I actually, I have read them. Have you?

00:51:39.900 Yes, I have.

00:51:40.780 Okay. So here's, I'll give you one example. I don't know if you can give me any examples,

00:51:44.040 but I'll give you one example of a recent study.

00:51:45.520 And this was just in the headlines. It said that it proved that double mastectomies for

00:51:52.280 minor girls improves their well-being. And this was a study, and it was proven, peer-reviewed.

00:51:59.500 Then you read how they actually conducted this study, and you find out that they interviewed

00:52:04.180 a very small selection of girls in one region of the country, all from the same socioeconomic

00:52:09.760 background. And they did their follow-up, I think it was three months later. And based on a follow-up,

00:52:16.940 a few months later, they've determined that, oh yeah, it improves well-being. You see the

00:52:22.460 problem here? I don't want, I don't.

00:52:24.200 There are many, but there are, this is the exception to the rule.

00:52:27.240 I don't think it is.

00:52:28.100 Many studies use observational data with various follow-up from like six months to five years

00:52:36.300 to 10 years, and they don't demonstrate what you claim.

00:52:41.000 Well, I just, you can say the word study, but what I'm saying is when you-

00:52:44.400 You can look them up.

00:52:45.080 Okay, great, great.

00:52:45.480 They're like, you can Google them.

00:52:48.940 So he does a, he's done a good bit of Googling, he says. And the only problem is that, as is

00:52:56.900 usually the case, when they start babbling on about studies, he cannot give any specific

00:53:02.140 examples, which means that he cannot defend the methodology used in these studies.

00:53:05.680 All he knows is that the studies were done, and though he doesn't know exactly what they

00:53:08.860 say, he knows that whatever they say, they'd vindicate whatever he already thought before

00:53:12.140 he read the studies, though he actually didn't read them to begin with.

00:53:15.340 So to review, he brought up studies, but I'm the only one in the conversation who could speak

00:53:20.400 with any specificity about any of the studies that he brought up.

00:53:23.520 So the conversation continued until I got to what I think is the most important point here.

00:53:28.700 Let's listen.

00:53:29.060 How do you think they would have large-scale, long-term studies about the effects of these

00:53:38.360 drugs and these surgeries on children when we only started doing it to children at a

00:53:42.820 large scale a few years ago?

00:53:45.000 So how could that even exist?

00:53:47.620 Yeah, I think scale is probably one of the more prevalent challenges of these studies.

00:53:52.240 Okay, so we're already hearing that there are challenges in these studies.

00:53:54.120 Every study has challenges, like any scientific truth, like all of the scientific truth that

00:54:00.880 we take for granted today, they're built on methodologies that fundamentally have flaws.

00:54:05.740 Like if you want to make a specific critique, you can do that.

00:54:08.560 If you're talking about-

00:54:09.060 I just did.

00:54:09.960 Well, if you're talking about sample size, there are very well-demonstrated statistical results

00:54:14.200 that you don't need 10,000 people to get like a statistically significant value.

00:54:20.020 Yes, you do.

00:54:20.880 No, you don't.

00:54:21.100 No, absolutely not.

00:54:22.420 It's like a very basic statistical fact.

00:54:24.980 Here's-

00:54:25.420 No, you get a sample size greater than 1,000, that has very nice asymptotic properties.

00:54:31.940 Jacob, here's what I know.

00:54:34.340 If you want to even begin to claim that a study has proven that castrating and sterilizing

00:54:40.160 little boys helps them in the long run, then you would need to have a large sample size

00:54:45.220 of children who've gone through these procedures, and we've checked back with them in adulthood

00:54:51.660 to see how they're doing.

00:54:53.280 Those studies do not exist.

00:54:55.500 They can't exist because we weren't doing this to kids at anywhere near this scale even

00:55:00.640 five years ago, let alone 10 years ago.

00:55:02.720 What that tells us, Jacob, is that the kids we have right now, they are the sample, okay?

00:55:08.440 They are the experiment.

00:55:10.880 We are experimenting on children right now.

00:55:13.800 So, right.

00:55:16.700 Why aren't there any reliable studies?

00:55:18.180 Because the study is happening right now today, and the sample size is an entire generation

00:55:22.560 of kids.

00:55:24.080 Jacob and I continued for another several minutes, of course, as I point out to him later in the

00:55:28.740 discussion.

00:55:29.680 The whole focus on studies is a distraction.

00:55:32.240 We don't need permission from a study to arrive at certain common sense conclusions.

00:55:36.300 One of those conclusions is that it is wrong to perform cosmetic surgery on the sex organs

00:55:41.260 of children, and it's wrong to give them medically unnecessary drugs that will permanently hamper

00:55:45.640 and destroy their physical development.

00:55:47.340 So, we can talk about the studies, and I can point out, as I did, that the methodologies

00:55:51.680 are flawed beyond repair, but the truth is that there is no study that would ever convince

00:55:56.580 me that we should castrate a child, okay?

00:55:59.340 Like, when someone asks me, should we castrate children, I don't say, well, let me check to see 0.96

00:56:02.920 what the studies say.

00:56:03.660 I just, I can say no to that. 0.92

00:56:06.660 The same way that if you ask me, should we shoot a child in the head, I would say, no. 1.00

00:56:12.100 And if you do, you should be shot in the head. 1.00

00:56:14.460 I don't need to check the studies for that either. 1.00

00:56:17.000 Directly and intentionally harming children in these barbaric ways is wrong.

00:56:24.040 So, he could produce a study with a sample size of 50,000, which includes follow-ups over

00:56:28.300 the course of 30 years.

00:56:29.800 I mean, he can't, because, again, that study doesn't exist.

00:56:31.620 But even if it did, it would not move me even one inch towards accepting or supporting the

00:56:36.620 physical mutilation of children.

00:56:38.580 I don't check with academics before deciding whether I oppose child abuse.

00:56:42.220 I just oppose it, and I always will, and nothing can ever change that, as I tried to explain

00:56:48.180 to Jacob.

00:56:49.760 Eventually, he just walked away from the microphone when he had enough, I guess.

00:56:53.260 So, does Jacob deserve to be canceled?

00:56:56.300 Perhaps.

00:56:57.940 But unfortunately, someone else stepped forward later on in the Q&A who is even more deserving

00:57:03.540 of the cancellation.

00:57:06.040 And that person is me.

00:57:07.960 Uh, the time has come for the canceler to be canceled.

00:57:13.200 I have been slain by my own cancellation sword.

00:57:17.140 Because of this.

00:57:19.340 Hello.

00:57:20.060 So, I just saw people shouting and like a bunch of barricades, so I thought it was fun to

00:57:23.540 come here.

00:57:23.920 I didn't really know who you were.

00:57:25.420 So, before it started, I Googled you on Wikipedia.

00:57:28.020 I scrolled down to the controversy section, and it said, you said anime was satanic.

00:57:32.240 So, I was wondering, if I bought your book, would you watch a season of any anime with

00:57:41.220 me?

00:57:42.300 I'll get you a jacket.

00:57:43.460 With you?

00:57:44.340 Huh?

00:57:45.080 Well, I have to watch the anime with you, you're saying?

00:57:46.980 Yeah, or just like live.

00:57:48.200 How's that going to work?

00:57:49.380 Um, Zoom.

00:57:53.580 Okay, I hate Zoom meetings, and I hate anime.

00:57:56.120 Now you want me to combine the two?

00:57:57.680 Okay, okay.

00:57:58.400 And what am I getting out of this?

00:57:59.900 I buy your book.

00:58:01.280 One book?

00:58:01.820 You got to buy a lot more books.

00:58:03.160 You got to buy about a hundred books to make that worth it.

00:58:05.960 So, if we started a GoFundMe to buy a hundred books, you would live stream you watching a

00:58:09.500 season of anime?

00:58:11.580 Yes.

00:58:12.640 Okay.

00:58:14.540 All right.

00:58:15.000 Don't.

00:58:16.200 All right. 1.00

00:58:21.800 I am indeed the stupidest man on earth, and the worst dealmaker in history. 1.00

00:58:26.500 Donald Trump would be ashamed. 1.00

00:58:28.500 Why did I agree to that?

00:58:29.600 To an entire season of anime?

00:58:31.460 An entire season?

00:58:32.360 Not just one episode.

00:58:33.180 A season.

00:58:34.780 And instead of asking for like a thousand books or ten thousand, I agreed to this torture

00:58:38.660 for a measly one hundred books?

00:58:41.400 That was by far the worst negotiation I've ever witnessed. 1.00

00:58:46.260 I watch it and think, who is this moron? 1.00

00:58:48.700 And then I realize that the moron is me. 1.00

00:58:51.520 And I'm filled not only with dread, but also shame. 0.99

00:58:55.160 I can only say it's a good thing that I use a real estate agent instead of making real estate

00:59:00.200 deals on my own.

00:59:00.920 I'm apparently the kind of guy who would sell my house for like 50 bucks and a Wendy's gift

00:59:04.920 card.

00:59:05.740 Only this is much worse because, as I've already established, anime is satanic.

00:59:08.960 So watching an entire season of it certainly means that I will become demonically possessed.

00:59:14.600 So I have sold my soul here.

00:59:16.700 I've sold it for a few books.

00:59:18.480 I could have just done a, like a hit on Tucker Carlson, you know, and sold more books than

00:59:22.700 that.

00:59:24.580 Hundred books?

00:59:26.920 What was I thinking?

00:59:28.160 I was not thinking at all, apparently.

00:59:31.420 Or my thinking was impaired.

00:59:33.900 I was at Berkeley, after all.

00:59:35.000 Maybe I was high from all the secondhand weed smoke in the air.

00:59:38.380 Maybe just two days in San Francisco was enough to cause mental illness.

00:59:41.980 I don't know how to explain it.

00:59:44.140 Now, the good news is that technically, I never said when I would watch the anime.

00:59:50.220 Those details were never specified.

00:59:51.700 I could schedule the live stream session for like sometime in the year 2035, and I would

00:59:55.540 be, I would not be violating the terms of the deal if I did that.

00:59:59.340 But the bad news is that apparently this guy did already start the GoFundMe and has raised,

01:00:04.840 almost immediately raised $2,000 to buy the books.

01:00:08.820 So I had, the reason you might be asking like, why am I bringing this up now?

01:00:12.300 Well, I held off on playing this clip.

01:00:14.220 In fact, I wasn't going to play it at all, at all, because I was hoping that if I didn't

01:00:17.840 promote it or talk about it, he wouldn't be able to raise the funds, because how is he

01:00:21.280 going to do that?

01:00:21.700 But this has taken on a life of its own, and I am now being swept along helplessly by the

01:00:27.720 current, and my destination is an entire season of anime, and then as a result, the loss of

01:00:35.540 my eternal soul.

01:00:36.840 I am a condemned man, condemned by my own suicidal negotiation tactics.

01:00:43.200 So all I can do now is call on the Sweet Baby Gang, in this time of Thanksgiving, to come

01:00:50.360 to my aid, and tell me which anime has the shortest episodes and shortest seasons.

01:00:56.980 Ideally, I'm talking about, like, I want an anime that has three minute episodes and three

01:01:01.820 episodes per season, if such anime exists.

01:01:05.860 And if it doesn't exist, I need one of you to make one, okay?

01:01:09.400 I need, this is the situation we're in, right?

01:01:12.040 I'm calling in a favor.

01:01:13.840 I am mobilizing Sweet Baby Gang.

01:01:15.420 I need you to make an anime and put it on YouTube, season one of whatever thing, anime, and I'll

01:01:24.960 watch it.

01:01:27.880 Only you can save me now.

01:01:30.140 I certainly cannot save myself, because the day has finally arrived when I must say that

01:01:36.260 I am cancelled.

01:01:39.380 And that'll do it for this portion of the show as we move over to the members block.

01:01:43.360 Hope to see you there.

01:01:44.120 If not, talk to you on Monday.

01:01:46.840 Have a great Thanksgiving.

01:01:47.980 Godspeed.

01:01:48.340 We'll be right back.
