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
00:01:11.540
five people. I inspired him, so did Chris Ruffo and Tucker Carlson and Libs of TikTok and others.
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
00:01:37.120
by thousands of random leftist ogres online, is absurd and inane and baseless and designed to
00:01:43.160
blackmail us into accepting the left's abuse of children. That, and it's also an accusation being
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
00:04:02.720
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?
0.97
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.
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
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
00:11:56.860
soulless charlatans and bloodthirsty sociopaths who can barely contain their orgasmic glee whenever
00:12:03.600
there's a tragedy, because it gives them ratings, and it gives them political ammunition, and those two
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
00:12:22.660
they have nuked their own credibility, so that at this point, their lies can only convince a sad and
00:12:27.680
dwindling collection of the dumbest and most gullible idiots to ever walk the face of the earth.
00:12:33.940
All the rest of us are impervious to their propaganda. That's why the corporate media is dying,
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.
00:13:04.320
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
00:14:24.540
people were killed at the gay club. Quoting, they put it in quotes. They put it in Matt Walsh quote,
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
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
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
00:21:31.900
themselves out of this PR hole by pandering to the left. But in this case, it's an unforced error.
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
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
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
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
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
00:35:05.240
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.
00:36:09.280
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
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.
00:39:01.600
Who makes a Twitter mob fly off the handle with rage? Who's to blame? It's a sweet baby gang.
00:39:14.780

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
0.96
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
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
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
0.77
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

00:49:07.700
with Johnny the Walrus and make a documentary that exposed the transgender agenda, become a women's
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,
00:49:26.080
who has released a ton of exclusive content already. And this Friday, you'll be able to watch the first
00:49:30.380

00:49:40.000
from Jordan Peterson. That's a lot for a year, but I promise you it's only just beginning. We're
00:49:44.660

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,
00:51:19.160
There are probably like 30 studies by this point, all produced in the last like 10 years or so.
00:51:25.240
Okay, well just, here's the problem. Here's the problem. I'm not impressed by just you saying
00:51:34.700
Fine. Well, there could be a hundred studies. There could be a thousand studies.
00:51:37.620
Great, yeah. And I actually, I have read them. Have you?
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
00:52:24.200
There are many, but there are, this is the exception to the rule.
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-
00:52:48.940
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.
00:53:29.060
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
00:53:47.620
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.
00:54:09.960
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.
00:54:25.420
No, you get a sample size greater than 1,000, that has very nice asymptotic properties.
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
00:54:55.500
They can't exist because we weren't doing this to kids at anywhere near this scale even
00:55:02.720
What that tells us, Jacob, is that the kids we have right now, they are the sample, okay?
00:55:18.180
Because the study is happening right now today, and the sample size is an entire generation
00:55:24.080
Jacob and I continued for another several minutes, of course, as I point out to him later in the
00:55:32.240
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
00:55:47.340
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
00:55:59.340
Like, when someone asks me, should we castrate children, I don't say, well, let me check to see
00:56:06.660
The same way that if you ask me, should we shoot a child in the head, I would say, no.
00:56:14.460
I don't need to check the studies for that either.
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
00:56:29.800
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
00:56:38.580
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
00:56:49.760
Eventually, he just walked away from the microphone when he had enough, I guess.
00:56:57.940
But unfortunately, someone else stepped forward later on in the Q&A who is even more deserving
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.
00:57:20.060
So, I just saw people shouting and like a bunch of barricades, so I thought it was fun to
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
00:57:45.080
Well, I have to watch the anime with you, you're saying?
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
00:58:21.800
I am indeed the stupidest man on earth, and the worst dealmaker in history.
00:58:34.780
And instead of asking for like a thousand books or ten thousand, I agreed to this torture
00:58:41.400
That was by far the worst negotiation I've ever witnessed.
00:58:51.520
And I'm filled not only with dread, but also shame.
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
00:59:00.920
I'm apparently the kind of guy who would sell my house for like 50 bucks and a Wendy's gift
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.
00:59:18.480
I could have just done a, like a hit on Tucker Carlson, you know, and sold more books than
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.
00:59:44.140
Now, the good news is that technically, I never said when I would watch the anime.
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?
01:00:14.220
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
01:00:21.700
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
