The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1070 - Canadian Company Uses Suicide To Sell Products

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Canada continues to exterminate itself with its assisted suicide

00:00:04.780 epidemic. It's gotten so bad that retail brands are now using suicide to sell their products.

00:00:09.660 Also, backlash against Balenciaga's child exploitation continues to build,

00:00:13.780 though the criticism from some corners has been rather, well, muted. Plus,

00:00:18.140 Apple goes to war with Elon Musk, and Biden's cross-dressing bestiality fetishist energy

00:00:23.080 official has been charged with a felony after stealing a woman's suitcase from the airport.

00:00:27.380 And it only gets weirder from there somehow. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:40.720 Will the lack of a red wave during the midterms lead to more reckless spending by a more emboldened

00:01:29.820 989898. If you live here in the United States, you need only look over our northern border to witness

00:01:37.860 one of the most consequential and most dire events happening in the modern Western world. And we've been

00:01:44.440 following it on this show. But outside of The Daily Wire and a few other conservative outlets,

00:01:49.520 it has not gotten nearly as much attention as it deserves. And I think that's partly because we're

00:01:54.700 all kind of overwhelmed with this constant influx of information. And it's difficult to know which

00:01:59.820 things we should focus on. And even if we know what we should focus on, it's hard to focus at all

00:02:04.120 on anything. And it's partly because the event that I'm referring to is so dark and depressing that

00:02:09.960 most people prefer not to talk about it or think about it or acknowledge that it's happening. And

00:02:15.860 yet it is. And I'm referring, of course, to Canada's suicide epidemic. What makes this suicide

00:02:21.580 epidemic even more alarming than the already quite alarming suicide epidemic that is happening in this

00:02:27.980 country, United States, is that in Canada, the epidemic is being funded and facilitated and

00:02:34.320 encouraged and glorified by the Canadian government and the medical establishment. Or as they prefer to

00:02:40.980 phrase it, the suicide epidemic is being assisted. It is being assisted. Assisted suicide or medical

00:02:48.060 assistance in dying in Canada, as we've covered on this show, is becoming more and more common with each

00:02:54.340 passing year as the, quote, service is opened up to more and more people. Last year, 2021, 10,000 people

00:03:03.160 died by assisted suicide in the country, which is, needless to say, a lot. And that was a significant

00:03:08.980 jump, over 30%, in fact, from the year before that. And this year, we'll see, we can be certain,

00:03:15.920 an even bigger jump as assisted suicide is increasingly inflicted on people, not just for terminal illness

00:03:22.200 anymore, but even for physically healthy people, people with conditions, quote, unquote, such as

00:03:27.800 depression, mental illness, homelessness. Now there's a push for assisted suicide for minors,

00:03:35.000 assisted suicide also for patients who have, quote, lost the capacity to consent, according to one of

00:03:40.880 the amendments that's being proposed. They're trying to basically shuffle as many people as possible

00:03:47.400 towards the exits, and it's working. Euthanasia is rapidly becoming a leading cause of death in many

00:03:53.800 Canadian provinces. In fact, Canada's euthanasia laws are so relaxed and so devoid of safeguards or

00:04:01.500 limitations that they make the horrific assisted suicide policies in places like Belgium and the

00:04:06.640 Netherlands look downright responsible by comparison. For instance, Canada is the only country in the

00:04:13.840 world where assisted suicide can be carried out by medical professionals who aren't even doctors.

00:04:18.840 doctors, nurse practitioners can kill people in Canada. Not that it's any better if a doctor does 0.83

00:04:24.700 it, of course, but this just shows how they're relaxing all the policies. Not only that, but Canada

00:04:30.060 takes specific steps to obscure and cover up the extent of the euthanasia regime. As the AP reports,

00:04:37.940 quote, medical authorities in its two largest provinces, Ontario and Quebec, explicitly instruct doctors

00:04:43.100 not to indicate on death certificates if people died from euthanasia. Not only that, but even in

00:04:49.920 Belgium, doctors are, at least in theory, instructed not to recommend euthanasia to patients as a potential

00:04:56.640 treatment. The patient has to bring it up himself, at which point they'll happily kill him. Now, I'm

00:05:03.020 extremely skeptical that such a policy is actually followed, but in Canada, they don't even bother with

00:05:08.040 that sort of policy in theory. Again, from the AP, quote, there are no such restrictions in Canada.

00:05:13.520 The Association of Canadian Healthcare Professionals, who provide euthanasia, tell physicians and nurses

00:05:18.800 to inform patients if they might qualify to be killed as one of their possible clinical care options.

00:05:26.740 Now, this helps explain the story from several months ago about the veteran who called the VA looking

00:05:34.620 for help with his PTSD, and instead he was told that he should consider killing himself.

00:05:40.320 So they're not just providing assisted suicide to anyone who wants it for any reason. I mean,

00:05:45.480 they are doing that, but also they're actively encouraging it. They are advertising it. They

00:05:50.140 are literally advertising it, in fact. The CBC has this report, quote, Quebec-based retailer Simons

00:05:56.320 made a deliberate move toward inspiration last month as part of a new video called All is Beauty.

00:06:01.980 The video is centered around and narrated by BC's Jennifer Hatch. The 37-year-old died on October

00:06:08.240 23rd and shows medical assistance in dying after dealing with complications and chronic pain

00:06:14.040 associated with her diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which is a group of inherited disorders

00:06:18.820 that affect the connective tissue supporting many body parts. In the video available on Simon's

00:06:23.840 shopping website, viewers get a glimpse into some of the moments of Hatch's last month and hear her

00:06:29.820 share her thoughts on life, death, and her quest to fill her final days with beauty, with nature,

00:06:35.700 and with connection. Peter Simons, chief merchant for the fashion chain, says the documentary project

00:06:41.200 started after meeting Hatch through the MAID program and traveling to Vancouver to talk about working on

00:06:45.900 a unique film. Quote, we really felt after everything we've been through in the last two years and

00:06:50.320 everyone's been through, maybe it would resonate more to do a project that's less commercially oriented

00:06:54.920 and more focused on inspiration and values that we hold dear, said Simons.

00:07:00.560 Simons says that he thinks customers will appreciate the unconventional move.

00:07:06.060 Well, you tell me how much you appreciate this. Here's the ad.

00:07:09.960 Last breaths are sacred. When I imagine my final days, I see bubbles. I see the ocean. I see music.

00:07:25.800 Even now, as I seek help to end my life, there is still so much beauty. You just have to be brave enough to see it.

00:07:34.020 Thank you.

00:08:04.020 And then you medicalize it. And after it is medicalized, the brands get a hold of it and it

00:08:11.080 is corporatized. Each part of the system, each member of this grotesque human centipede has its

00:08:17.420 own way of profiting off of the evil, profiting off of the destructive thing. But it's perhaps

00:08:23.560 most viscerally disturbing once the brands get to work. In this case, trying to make suicide into

00:08:29.720 something inspirational and fashionable, almost like it's a sort of an aesthetic choice to commit

00:08:36.480 suicide. Here's more of the CEO, Peter Simons, explaining this campaign. Listen.

00:08:41.940 It was perhaps hard to reconnect with a hope and an optimism. And we wanted to do something that

00:08:51.100 really underlined human connection and perhaps would help people to reconnect to each other and

00:08:59.680 to this hope and optimism that that is going to be needed if we're going to build the sort of communities

00:09:05.960 and spaces where we want to live and that are enjoyable to live in.

00:09:11.820 One thing we know about evil is that it doesn't create anything of its own. It has no creative

00:09:17.420 power. It can only subvert what already exists. It takes what is good and turns it on its head. It

00:09:23.160 desecrates the holy and the sacred. This is why satanic rituals are always modeled after Christian 1.00

00:09:28.500 rituals. They are parodies, mockeries, rather than inventions. And here we see how this Satanist,

00:09:34.780 Peter Simons, has made a parody and mockery out of hope. For him, hope and optimism means

00:09:41.420 self-destruction. The hopeful and optimistic person is the person who has given up on the future,

00:09:47.340 given up on life, which is, of course, the exact diametric opposite of hope and optimism. It is the

00:09:53.120 death of hope. It is the death of everything. It is death itself. And although the absurdity of this

00:10:01.180 rebranding is, I hope, obvious to most of us, the extremely troubling point is that it is not obvious

00:10:08.540 to everyone. And it's becoming obvious to fewer and fewer people as time goes on. The assisted suicide

00:10:15.960 machine exists in a society where people are conditioned to find the suicide pitch appealing.

00:10:24.240 They are conditioned to be susceptible to this sort of propaganda. And in fact, this machine could only

00:10:32.180 exist in such a society to begin with. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:11:36.280 speaking of the conditioning that makes suicide so appealing in our society, whether it's the

00:11:41.520 doctor-assisted variety or the traditional sort of suicide, I think the number one factor

00:11:49.160 that makes people susceptible to it is the popular idea, the misconception, the myth in our culture

00:11:56.100 that life is not supposed to involve suffering, that suffering is not supposed to be a part of

00:12:01.740 the bargain. It's not supposed to come with the existence package. This is what people are

00:12:06.360 conditioned to believe so that when they experience suffering, which they inevitably will, because

00:12:12.320 everybody does, because it does come with life, but when they experience it, they think that it means

00:12:18.460 that something is wrong with them, something is defective, right? They start feeling,

00:12:23.180 they start experiencing suffering and they're not feeling good and they think, well, something's

00:12:27.040 horribly wrong here. I'm not supposed to feel this way. And they go looking for a mental illness

00:12:30.820 diagnosis. And then maybe ultimately they decide that the defect is incurable. Maybe they're even

00:12:37.500 told in Canada, they might be told this. There's nothing we could do for you. Here's the one treatment

00:12:42.080 option we have available. It's the permanent sort of treatment, which is the end of your suffering

00:12:47.400 existence. But what people used to intuitively understand is that suffering is part of life.

00:12:54.520 It is part of life. This is the stuff that human existence is made out of, like it or not.

00:13:05.320 And you're not going to like it, but it's just true. You can't avoid it. You can't run from it

00:13:10.340 without running from existence. And that's why the goal should not be to avoid suffering or to come up

00:13:18.660 with some sort of total cure for it, right? To treat suffering itself like it's a disease because it's

00:13:24.940 not. There are diseases that can cause more suffering and where you can help alleviate someone's

00:13:32.280 suffering in an immediate sense. We should obviously do that. But suffering itself is not a disease.

00:13:40.340 And the ultimate goal should not be to create an existence for someone where they experience no

00:13:47.400 suffering. It should be to help them find meaning in the suffering. Because human beings can endure

00:13:54.180 almost any amount of suffering if they're able to find meaning in it. This is a man's search for

00:13:59.660 meaning, Viktor Frankl, right? This is the insight. You can endure anything if you have meaning in your

00:14:05.720 life. But the flip side of that coin is that you can endure almost nothing if you have no meaning in

00:14:12.020 your life. If you have no meaning, then the slightest breeze might knock you on your ass. 1.00

00:14:20.680 So the crucial thing here is to help people find meaning which cannot be accomplished 0.99

00:14:26.220 through pills and through medical procedures. This is why I'm always hammering on this point. I'm not

00:14:34.640 saying that there's no role at all for psychiatric drugs. I think that there's, at best, an extremely

00:14:41.400 limited role in some extreme cases. But in most cases, the fundamental problem is not that someone

00:14:54.960 is experiencing suffering, but it's that they don't have meaning in their life.

00:14:57.720 And you can try to numb that. You can try to come up with a Band-Aid measure to cover it up, but it's still

00:15:07.300 there, that lack of meaning. And the answer is, no matter how you slice it, it's a spiritual answer. That's how

00:15:18.240 you find meaning in your life. There's no other place to find it. All right. So let's begin with

00:15:26.400 Balenciaga. The Daily Wire has the latest. The fashion company Balenciaga responded to its ongoing

00:15:31.160 scandal involving a photo shoot that featured young children holding BDSM-themed teddy bear bags by

00:15:36.360 saying that it could have done things differently. The company issued the statement Monday afternoon

00:15:40.540 after facing severe public backlash when it was accused of sexualizing young children. The brand,

00:15:45.720 which celebrities like Kim Kardashian often wear, displayed images on its website last week as part of

00:15:49.960 its Toy Stories campaign. The photos showed child models posing with the brand's teddy bear handbags with

00:15:57.240 the bears dressed in BDSM-themed gear from its Paris Fashion Week 2023 collection. The company said that

00:16:05.000 it strongly condemns child abuse. It was never our intent to include it in our narrative. And yet they did.

00:16:11.560 They went through the trouble of designing this whole photo shoot and they took the photos and they edited

00:16:18.240 it all down and they came up with the advertising campaign and they published all this stuff, but it

00:16:23.560 was never their intent. They just tripped and fell and next thing you know, they had an ad featuring BDSM

00:16:31.820 and children. That's what we're supposed to believe. The statement said the first campaign,

00:16:37.740 the gift collection campaign, featured children with plush bear bags in what some have labeled BDSM-inspired

00:16:43.520 outfits. Oh, some have labeled. Yeah, like the some being people with eyes have labeled it that way. Our plush

00:16:49.600 bear bags in the gift collection should not have been featured with children. This was a wrong choice by

00:16:53.680 Balenciaga combined with our failure in assessing and validating images. The responsibility for this lives with us

00:17:00.660 alone. The second separate campaign for spring 2023, which was meant to replicate a business office environment,

00:17:05.260 included a photo with a page in the background from a Supreme Court ruling United States versus

00:17:10.500 Williams 2008, which confirms as illegal and not protected by freedom of speech, the promotion of

00:17:15.900 child pornography. So it's of course the BDSM teddy bear wasn't the only thing they also had as they

00:17:23.280 acknowledge in their statement. Now they also had photos, separate photos featuring documents discussing

00:17:28.760 child pornography. Actual explicit references to child pornography that they included in this ad

00:17:36.080 campaign. And now we have more updates. This is from the Post Millennial. It says, last week,

00:17:43.100 luxury fashion brand Balenciaga fell into controversy as disturbing and exploitative images emerged from

00:17:48.400 their website of children posed in alarming ways with sexualized paraphernalia, such as bondage gear,

00:17:53.500 sparking looks at the company's chief designer, who is Lada Volkova, who has posted images on Instagram

00:17:59.860 of Satan worship, as well as child torture, mutilation, and sexualization. On Twitter,

00:18:05.500 many users have posted images from Volkova's Instagram, which is now private. D-transitioner 0.92

00:18:12.100 Ali London posted a sampling and wrote, these are shocking posts from Balenciaga's stylist,

00:18:16.540 Lada Volkova, who has a sick obsession with torture, Satan, and child mutilation. These pics are beyond

00:18:22.340 disturbing, but there are far worse on our Instagram. And we don't even need to put up the images. It's

00:18:29.920 just, it's exactly as it's described. It's satanic images of torture, child mutilation, all of that,

00:18:38.700 that this designer has posted in the past on her Instagram and now has taken it all down and put it

00:18:44.720 all to private. So this is pure Satanism. And it's, when you see the absolute filth and degeneracy and

00:18:54.760 wickedness that is being mainstreamed and promoted at the highest levels of society, along with being 0.95

00:19:02.200 infuriated and, you know, making you cry out to God for vengeance against these sick, child-abusing 0.99

00:19:08.620 freaks. Along with that, it can be, I mean, it's, it's, it's incredibly demoralizing and dispiriting and 0.99

00:19:15.060 psychologically and spiritually exhausting to live in a culture where the rot is so deep and the

00:19:23.620 sickness does feel sometimes terminal, which as a parent, that's a, that is a terrifying, despair-inducing

00:19:32.200 thought because this, you know, my kids are just like your kids are inheriting this culture.

00:19:38.820 Which is why what I really want to do sometimes is just like take my family and move into the woods

00:19:42.900 and be done with all this. Move away from the filth and from the sadistic, twisted predators

00:19:47.600 who wish harm on my children and on your children. Just, you know, move away from it. 0.98

00:19:55.300 Live a simple life somewhere, somewhere far away from it. But I can't because that's not what

00:19:59.280 I'm called to do. It's not what most of us are called to do. We're called to confront this and

00:20:05.480 fight against it. And as for Balenciaga, the most revealing thing has been the reaction or lack

00:20:14.060 thereof in certain corners. For example, Kim Kardashian, who's the brand ambassador for these

00:20:18.720 child porn peddlers, issued a statement that, I mean, it falls well short of denouncing the company

00:20:24.760 and certainly falls well short of pledging not to work with them anymore. In fact, she's indicated the

00:20:29.060 opposite. She will continue to work with them. So this was her statement. She says,

00:20:32.340 I've been quiet for the past few days, not because I haven't been disgusted and outraged by the

00:20:36.620 Balenciaga campaigns, but because I want an opportunity to speak to their team to understand

00:20:40.500 for myself how this could have happened. As a mother of four, I've been shaken by the disturbing

00:20:45.100 images. The safety of children must be held with the highest regard and any attempts to normalize

00:20:50.920 child abuse of any kind should have no place in our society, period. I appreciate Balenciaga's

00:20:55.320 removal of the campaigns and apology and speaking with them. She said, I believe that they understand

00:21:00.080 the seriousness of the issue and will take necessary measures for this never to happen again.

00:21:04.200 As for my future with Balenciaga, I am currently reevaluating my relationship with the brand,

00:21:09.580 basing it off of their willingness to accept accountability for something that should have

00:21:13.520 never happened to begin with and the actions I'm expected to see them take to protect children.

00:21:18.800 She's reevaluating. She's reevaluating whether or not she should continue to work with child 0.51

00:21:24.020 porn peddlers. That's something she needs to reevaluate. There are some things in life, 0.76

00:21:31.600 generally speaking, I believe in second chances for people, but there are some things in life where

00:21:37.980 there is no second chance. There are some things you can do where there is no, you don't get a second

00:21:45.020 shot at it. Um, and one of them is distributing, um, abusive and exploitative images of children,

00:21:56.440 not just distributing them, but also trying to, you know, trying to profit off of them.

00:22:03.660 That's not a quote unquote mistake. That is a deliberate thing that they did

00:22:07.980 because they thought they could get away with it. And the only reason that they didn't get away

00:22:14.800 with it is just because of people on social media, mostly conservatives who seem to be upset about

00:22:21.140 this. If not for that, they would have gotten away with it because they, they counted on people

00:22:29.620 like Kim Kardashian. You know, they knew that, I mean, the only reason, the only reason Kim Kardashian

00:22:33.820 is saying anything about it is because she's been forced to do so. Over on the view. Meanwhile,

00:22:39.640 their biggest concern with children being exploited and abused for an ad campaign is not that it's

00:22:45.880 happening. They're not concerned for the children themselves, but really that, uh, but rather that

00:22:49.560 it will, it will play into the hands of the far right. Listen, what's going on here on this ad campaign,

00:22:57.240 particularly distasteful, um, in this moment. So there's this, there's growing anti LGBTQ sentiment

00:23:03.020 right now and how it's being framed is as portraying, you know, trans people as groomers.

00:23:09.340 This is a term you'll hear on the far right. They're groomers. This is where you get the anti

00:23:13.220 drag queen stuff that we're seeing. So Balenciaga played right into their hands by having kids in

00:23:18.540 a sexualized manner, carrying something that represents, you know, sex acts. I think it was 0.85

00:23:23.160 a really bad misstep at a moment where it's just kind of a dangerous time to even give credence to

00:23:28.940 those kind of insane takes. Yeah. I mean, we can't even show the picture because it's so

00:23:32.340 distasteful, but what's also very distasteful is like Balenciaga lately. I mean, their stuff is

00:23:38.560 just ugly. I mean, the bag that their little girl is holding is ugly. Do you remember when Kim K was 0.97

00:23:44.200 dressed in Balenciaga for the gala? Look at that. Oh, she looks like a bat or something. 1.00

00:23:52.380 I mean, everything you need to know about these people is right there in that video.

00:23:54.940 So what are their concerns, a fashion brand exploiting children using sexually exploitative

00:24:00.100 images of children? What's their concern? One, of course, their first concern is that it might be

00:24:05.040 damaging to, you know, the alphabet club. That's their first concern is what? What about the LGBT 1.00

00:24:11.920 people? Child sexually exploited in ad campaign, LGBT community most affected. That's what we get from

00:24:22.100 them. Which, by the way, why are you bringing LGBT into this? No one on the right did that.

00:24:29.600 That's you doing that. I didn't see anyone on the right who saw this Balenciaga campaign and said,

00:24:35.880 oh, it's the LGBT people have done it. The people behind this, I don't know what their sexual 1.00

00:24:42.100 orientation is. I don't know. I don't know how they self-identify. Doesn't matter. I don't need to

00:24:50.320 know any of those details. We know everything we need to know about them based on the ad they put

00:24:56.960 out. So that's the connection that they're making on The View. And that's their first concern. And

00:25:04.880 their second concern is just that the outfits or the clothing, the apparel that Balenciaga puts out

00:25:10.740 is ugly. And here's what we have to understand is that these people, they are not very eager to

00:25:19.440 condemn the sexualization of children because they have no problem with the sexualization of

00:25:25.380 children. In fact, to be more specific, they don't think that children can be sexualized because they

00:25:32.420 believe that children are already sexual from birth. This is what Alfred Kinsey believed and taught.

00:25:38.940 And he's one of the godfathers of the sexual revolution. This is his culture and we're all

00:25:43.260 just living in it. That's why it's so important to understand the origins of this stuff.

00:25:50.240 And this is what they believe. So they just don't see it as a problem.

00:25:55.720 All right. Daily Wire has this report. Disney's latest agenda-pushing project is off to a brutal

00:26:00.780 start at the box office. Strange World, an animated film featuring a gay teen romance,

00:26:05.600 opened Wednesday with a poor $4.2 million in ticket sales, and is projected to bring in as

00:26:11.080 little as $21 million over what should be a strong holiday weekend. The film, which pushes sexual

00:26:16.840 orientation and climate agendas, is on track to be Disney's latest overwoke nightmare. In fact,

00:26:22.740 from what I've read, they're looking at losing $100 million on this film. And actually, the wokeness in 0.97

00:26:30.520 this movie goes even beyond the gay love story thing at the center of it. So here's some more 0.93

00:26:38.560 details from the Daily Wire report. Strange World tells a story of gay teen Ethan, voiced by Jabuki Young

00:26:45.300 White. Jabuki, is that how it's pronounced? Who has the support of his loving biracial parents,

00:26:53.200 Searcher and Meridian. The family rejects its fabled heritage as explorers to farm, but ends up pulled

00:26:59.540 back into the family business to hunt for Searcher's father, Yeager, who went missing when he was a

00:27:03.700 child. The search is aided by their disabled dog and takes them to Avalonia, a strange world with a 1.00

00:27:10.740 fragile ecosystem. Ethan struggles to get past his shyness around his love interest, a boy named Diazo.

00:27:16.380 So you've got the gay teen with the biracial parents. It's a story that centers around climate 0.53

00:27:24.980 change. And even the dog is disabled. They even had to find a way to inject some wokeness there as 0.96

00:27:33.680 well. So we've got full representation, all the boxes checked, everything is going for it as far as

00:27:39.640 wokeness goes, right? As far as political correctness goes, every single box checked. But what they forgot

00:27:44.620 is that you're telling a story and the story itself has to be worthwhile. It has to be a good story.

00:27:50.880 And people just aren't interested in it. And so it's looking at losing $100 million.

00:27:58.600 One of the biggest bombs for Disney ever in history. And by the way, so people on the left,

00:28:04.960 very embarrassed by this, especially coming on the heels of, I've already forgotten the name of it.

00:28:08.700 You know, that's part of the problem, I think, with the gay romantic comedy Bros. So coming on the 1.00

00:28:16.120 heels of that, and that comes out and nobody goes to see it, okay? It earns, I think it was like $7

00:28:22.220 at the box office opening weekend. That's not even a full ticket. Somehow just half of a ticket was

00:28:27.920 sold. Just half of a ticket stub somebody bought. And that's all that it did in the box office its

00:28:33.840 opening weekend. So that's a major bomb, a catastrophe. And then Disney tries something

00:28:38.480 very similar, but targeting kids this time. And in terms of money loss, it's an even worse bomb.

00:28:45.040 So this is very embarrassing for the left. And they're coming up with ways to excuse this. And

00:28:51.660 of course, one of their go-to explanations is that, well, this shows there's homophobia.

00:28:58.080 Homophobia. The fact that parents don't want to bring their children to go watch a story revolving

00:29:05.040 around a romance between two teenage boys. That's homophobia. That's part of their

00:29:10.080 explanation. And the other one is that Disney, that actually Disney sabotaged the film by

00:29:18.200 intentionally not promoting it. And that's why, if only everyone had been told about the gay teen 0.98

00:29:25.180 cartoon romance, then the theaters would have been filled to the rafters with people just itching to

00:29:32.500 bring their kids to be exposed to this kind of content. But Disney sabotaged it. And I can tell

00:29:38.840 you right now that is not the case. And I can tell you for two reasons. One of them is anecdotal,

00:29:42.980 which is that I definitely saw advertisements for this. I am not the target market for Disney films.

00:29:50.060 And so many Disney films come out and I don't even know about them. They're in theaters and they

00:29:56.540 leave theaters and I never even hear about them. Probably most Disney films at this point,

00:29:59.920 I don't even hear about them. This one I heard about. And so it's anecdotal, but I can say that

00:30:04.780 if I hear about it, then it's definitely being promoted, at least to the level of other Disney

00:30:10.720 films and probably a lot more than that. Because this film got not only marketing, but it also got

00:30:16.240 the free marketing from the media making a big deal about it because it's a gay teen romance for kids.

00:30:23.640 Shattering the glass ceiling. So we know that's not true. But also, this is not how movie studios work.

00:30:33.940 Okay, they don't spend tens of millions of dollars making a film to then sabotage it on purpose.

00:30:42.340 They want to make money on the project.

00:30:44.900 So that is not the explanation. The explanation is that, so it's not that it wasn't promoted.

00:30:52.820 It's not that everyone is homophobic. It's two things. One, by all accounts, just looks like a bad

00:31:00.400 movie where the message is put before the story. As I talk about all the time, we're seeing sort of

00:31:08.040 the, in a bizarro world version of the mistake that the Christian film industry has made for so many 0.54

00:31:15.320 years where, now the message is diametrically opposite, but the mistake is in making the message,

00:31:22.040 you're putting the message before the story so that you couldn't possibly enjoy watching it

00:31:28.160 unless you're fully bought into them. You're only there for the sermon, in other words. It's not,

00:31:33.580 you're not there for the story itself. You got to put the story first.

00:31:38.040 Um, that's part of the reason why I bombed. And then, and then also, as far as the message,

00:31:44.400 this is not a message that most parents are interested in exposing their children to.

00:31:51.880 It's just as simple as that. And you can complain about it all you want.

00:31:57.720 One thing you notice is that most of the people complaining about it are not parents.

00:32:01.100 So most of the people insisting that we as parents should be eager to expose our kids to 0.63

00:32:08.580 a gay teen romance. So there's nothing wrong with that as a parent. What are you talking about?

00:32:14.760 Most people saying that aren't, they don't have kids. They have no idea what they're talking about.

00:32:19.780 And even if they do have kids, well, I feel sorry for their own kids,

00:32:22.480 but that's not going to affect what I do with mine.

00:32:28.060 And the simple reality is that most people, even people who would identify themselves as liberal,

00:32:32.940 they vote Democrat. I mean, the box office receipts show it. Even most of those people.

00:32:38.280 When push comes to shove, they actually don't want to sit in the theater with their seven-year-old kid

00:32:43.220 to watch a story about a teenage boy that falls in love with another teenage boy.

00:32:48.380 Don't want to see it.

00:32:51.640 Nor should they want to.

00:32:53.900 All right. This is from the Daily Wires as well. It says,

00:32:59.040 Twitter CEO Elon Musk signaled Monday that he might be preparing to go to war with Apple

00:33:04.560 after the company has largely stopped advertising on Twitter

00:33:07.100 and has reportedly threatened to boot the social media platform from its app store.

00:33:10.900 Musk specifically called out Apple CEO Tim Cook in a series of tweets

00:33:14.600 where he also raised the issue of censorship.

00:33:19.120 Musk says, Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter.

00:33:22.400 Do they hate free speech in America? What's going on here?

00:33:25.060 Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its app store, but won't tell us why.

00:33:31.700 So this is the latest. Is Apple going to kick Twitter out of its app store?

00:33:36.240 And they won't say why because they're not going to say the reason out loud

00:33:41.080 because the reason is pure politics. It's purely ideological.

00:33:45.640 They don't agree with Elon Musk's politics, and so they're going to punish him

00:33:48.960 by removing one of the most popular apps in the world from the app store.

00:33:55.240 It is a very fascinating thing to watch.

00:33:57.340 Because the question here is, can the system coalesce and team up to take down the richest man on earth?

00:34:06.360 So you've got the richest man on earth versus the system.

00:34:09.620 And the one thing about the system is that the people and the institutions within it,

00:34:15.120 they hate Elon Musk on ideological grounds, but they also hate him even more because they feel betrayed.

00:34:21.000 He's supposed to be on their side.

00:34:22.760 He's a wealthy elite.

00:34:26.040 He is the wealthiest, and so therefore, in many ways, the most elite person on the planet.

00:34:32.560 And so he's one of theirs as far as they're concerned.

00:34:38.420 He's supposed to be in their demonic fraternity.

00:34:42.720 And he's not, and he's turned against them, and they hate him for that.

00:34:45.540 Keep in mind, too, that Apple, so when it comes to the app store, and yeah, there are other ways of accessing Twitter.

00:34:53.360 You can access Twitter on your browser.

00:34:56.380 But when it comes to the app store, Apple and Google control access to the app store, like 100%.

00:35:02.060 They have 100% control over it, so it's a monopoly or duopoly.

00:35:06.580 And yet here you have the left, of course, taking Apple's side and supporting a corporate monopoly on the grounds that, well, Apple can do whatever it wants.

00:35:20.320 It's the rights of a private business.

00:35:22.380 Coming to the defense of the richest corporation on the planet, which is trying to exercise monopoly power in one of the most egregious and blatant ways that we've seen in decades.

00:35:38.380 And the anti-corporate, you know, left, supposedly the socialists, right, are coming to its defense.

00:35:49.260 So they'll defend the private business rights of Apple, this multi-gazillion dollar mega global corporation.

00:35:59.720 But when it comes to like a baker, just some random baker in Colorado who doesn't want to bake a cake for a gay wedding, in that case, no, you don't have private business rights.

00:36:14.040 Because there would be apocalyptic consequences to allowing a random baker in a small town in Colorado, allowing him to decide for himself who he is going to provide cakes to.

00:36:30.300 That would have apocalyptic, earth-shattering consequences.

00:36:35.320 And yet allowing the richest and most powerful corporation in the world to exercise these kinds of monopoly powers for political reasons, that has no, that's no big deal.

00:36:49.740 By the way, the White House says that it's keeping an eye on Elon Musk and Twitter, keeping an eye on the situation.

00:36:55.520 Let's listen to that.

00:36:56.320 I have a question about Twitter.

00:36:59.060 You know, there's a researcher at Stanford who says that this is a critical moment, really, in terms of ensuring that Twitter does not become a vector for misinformation.

00:37:10.600 I mean, are you concerned about the, you know, Elon Musk says there's more and more subscribers coming online.

00:37:20.060 Are you concerned about that?

00:37:21.820 And what tools do you have?

00:37:23.560 Who is it at the White House that is really keeping track of this?

00:37:27.720 So, look, this is something that we're certainly keeping an eye on.

00:37:31.740 And, look, we, you know, we have always been very clear that when it comes to social media platforms, it is their responsibility to make sure that when it comes to misinformation,

00:37:47.480 when it comes to the hate that we're seeing, that they take action, that they continue to take action.

00:37:54.320 Again, we're all keeping a close eye on this.

00:37:56.960 We're all monitoring what's currently occurring.

00:38:01.220 And we see, you know, we see it with our own eyes of what you all are reporting and just for ourselves, what's happening on Twitter.

00:38:09.400 But, again, social media companies have a responsibility to prevent their platforms from being used by any user to incite violence,

00:38:18.200 especially violence directed at individual communities, as we have been seeing.

00:38:22.820 And the president has been very clear on calling that out.

00:38:26.280 He'll continue to do that.

00:38:27.980 And we're going to continue to monitor the situation.

00:38:30.980 Man, she is so bad at this. 1.00

00:38:32.620 She is so incredibly bad at this. 0.81

00:38:34.560 She's so bad.

00:38:36.180 Maybe this is the, maybe there is some brilliant strategy behind having, you know, Jean Pair, Karen Jean Pair in that role.

00:38:45.220 Maybe the strategy is that, like, she rambles and has this very circuitous way of speaking. 1.00

00:38:54.000 And there are so many unnecessary words being said that you sort of fall asleep and you lose your train of thought.

00:39:00.240 And you're not paying attention anymore to what she's saying.

00:39:02.740 It's a filibuster strategy.

00:39:04.780 And so you might not notice that what is that, when you cut through all of that, what is actually being said is quite horrifying.

00:39:10.220 And that's certainly the case here.

00:39:11.240 So cutting through all of the rambling, what she's actually saying is that the White House is monitoring Twitter to make sure that, you know, that Twitter is being run in the way that the White House feels that it ought to.

00:39:30.260 So much for the rights of private businesses, like we just talked about a second ago.

00:39:34.960 Let's get to the comment section.

00:39:36.140 Do you know their name?

00:40:21.860 And to make up for this slight against my dear, sweet mother, sweet grandma Walsh, if you will,

00:40:26.360 I got her Legacy Box so that she doesn't have to keep her old VCR around and, more importantly, I don't have to fix it.

00:40:45.400 That's LegacyBox.com slash Walsh.

00:40:47.700 That is pretty interesting.

00:41:18.120 And I appreciate your efforts because, as you know, this is one of my greatest dreams is to appear on The View.

00:41:24.280 I know that Ben Shapiro also talks about how this is one of his dreams in life.

00:41:31.920 It will probably never be either one of us.

00:41:34.280 I don't think either one of us are getting on The View, but it certainly could never be both.

00:41:38.160 So it's got to be one.

00:41:38.920 There is a competition here about if any of us, if anyone's going to get on The View.

00:41:43.840 I don't see how multiple Daily Wire people will get on, especially after.

00:41:48.860 Because if one of us gets on The View after that happens, no one else from this company is going to be allowed on it ever again.

00:41:56.920 So if there's ever a shot, it's just going to be one shot.

00:41:59.720 And there can be only one, right?

00:42:01.900 So there is a competition here.

00:42:03.900 I don't know that a petition is how these things work.

00:42:08.500 But it's worth trying.

00:42:09.380 So what I would say is just make another petition.

00:42:12.640 Flood the zone.

00:42:14.340 Okay, let's put 100 petitions out there until they can't ignore us.

00:42:19.680 I mean, they can still ignore us, but it's worth trying.

00:42:22.640 Jack says, as soon as I heard about Ancient Apocalypse, I knew it would be the kind of thing that Matt is into.

00:42:28.140 I don't know if you meant that as a compliment or not, Jack, but that's how I choose to take it.

00:42:32.100 Because absolutely, the minute I heard about the show Ancient Apocalypse,

00:42:34.840 I knew it would be the kind of show that I'm into as well.

00:42:37.940 And I watched it, and I was.

00:42:39.460 I was not disappointed.

00:42:40.780 I just, as I said yesterday, I really, I don't have to agree with the conclusions.

00:42:45.780 And when it comes to Graham Hancock, I do think that there are plenty of, like we talked about yesterday,

00:42:51.320 there are plenty of facts that he brings up that are facts.

00:42:56.220 And he brings up a lot of points that are totally valid.

00:42:59.640 My issue is just with when you get to the final conclusion, like what this is all leading to,

00:43:04.100 and he has this story about the ancient advanced civilization and apocalypse and someone sort of,

00:43:11.520 some group survived it, and then they go throughout the world, you know,

00:43:15.860 making contact with these primitive societies and teaching them the ways of civilization.

00:43:21.340 It's like, it's that part that I'm not on board with,

00:43:24.040 because I just think that there's no direct evidence of that at all.

00:43:27.260 But there is a lot of evidence that the story we're being told by, as he says,

00:43:33.220 mainstream archaeology is not true, and at the very least is not complete.

00:43:38.740 And I think that's interesting.

00:43:42.280 And I also, I just have a, I have a soft spot for outside-the-box thinkers.

00:43:48.820 People come up with really fascinating theories.

00:43:51.960 This is why I'm also a big ancient aliens guy, too.

00:43:54.400 Probably won't surprise you to learn.

00:43:56.120 I don't believe almost any of the stuff in that show.

00:43:59.020 I don't even think it's meant to be believed.

00:44:00.760 It's basically science fiction.

00:44:02.220 But I still enjoy it.

00:44:04.180 It's fun to think about.

00:44:05.500 And the thing is, even if someone has a totally outlandish theory

00:44:10.480 that in the end is not true at all, there's value in listening to it.

00:44:15.260 And they might still bring up points that you weren't aware of or hadn't thought about.

00:44:21.360 And they might cause you to think about something a little bit differently.

00:44:23.600 Even if it's not to agree with them, you're now thinking a little bit differently about this.

00:44:27.140 And you might see angles that you missed before.

00:44:29.220 So it's sort of like a brainstorming session, right?

00:44:32.260 When you, when you've ever, if you've ever been in a creative brainstorming session,

00:44:35.160 you need people in the room who have totally out there ideas.

00:44:40.500 And their ideas will never be executed as they're proposed anyway.

00:44:45.760 But you need them there because they're, they're the ones who get, you know, get your mind turning.

00:44:50.780 They get the wheels turning.

00:44:51.620 All right.

00:44:56.720 Kevin Ross says, Matt, what you've predicted is already coming to pass. 0.99

00:44:59.700 I've been arguing with idiots on Reddit wherever drag queen story hour is vigorously defended as I can't help myself. 1.00

00:45:04.820 I've made the point repeatedly that I wouldn't want a stripper or burlesque dancer reading to kids either. 0.99

00:45:10.020 The response is usually there's nothing sexual about drag queens. 1.00

00:45:13.160 Or even more concerning are those who say that they'd actually be fine with a stripper or burlesque dancer reading to kids.

00:45:18.780 Yeah, I think that's exactly where this is heading more and more and more.

00:45:21.780 And we're seeing it where, where they'll, you know, you, you, you might point out that, well, you're, you're okay with drag queens and the sexual environment reading to kids.

00:45:32.120 But if it was any other, you know, if it was a woman dressed like that, you wouldn't be okay with it. 0.98

00:45:35.760 If it was a female burlesque dancer, you wouldn't be okay with it. 1.00

00:45:38.400 Well, I think more and more the left is saying, yeah, actually we're okay with that too.

00:45:41.080 Uh, and Rose says, kudos to Matt for saying we need more people like this rather than fewer instead of less people like this.

00:45:50.900 This proves Matt is a well-educated man.

00:45:53.860 This is, this is one of my many pet grammatical pet peeves is when people get less than and fewer than wrong.

00:45:59.920 Or when they, when they mix up further and farther.

00:46:02.660 And, uh, but I noticed myself on a show a few days ago that I, I, I myself committed both of those sins.

00:46:10.640 So I've, I've realized that I need to recommit myself.

00:46:16.220 And finally, tie my shoe says, Matt's Native American name would be Dakota Tusk, chieftain of the Walrus clan.

00:46:23.400 I like that.

00:46:24.200 And since I am, as we talked about yesterday, I am a Native American.

00:46:27.360 So I will, uh, I will accept that name.

00:46:29.620 If the price of your Thanksgiving meal is left a bad taste in your mouth, remember it's completely normal to keep paying more and more for the same things, right?

00:46:36.980 Well, no, wrong.

00:47:12.040 So go there now.

00:47:13.100 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:47:18.860 You may recall several months ago when the White House announced one of its newest hires,

00:47:22.820 determined to make his administration resemble as closely as possible an early 20th century freak show,

00:47:29.160 Biden decided to give a top-level job in the Department of Energy to a man named Sam Brinton.

00:47:35.400 Brinton was named the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition

00:47:40.920 and was granted, therefore, one of the highest security clearances in the department.

00:47:45.220 This was an interesting, though not at all surprising choice because Brinton is a bizarre cross-dressing creep 1.00

00:47:52.160 who identifies as a non-binary they-them. 0.78

00:47:55.700 And that's about the most normal thing about him.

00:47:58.860 So for your reference, here's a video from just a couple of years ago

00:48:02.100 when Brinton was an activist with the far-left group The Trevor Project.

00:48:06.560 And here he is explaining, in this video I believe it is, the importance of pronouns.

00:48:13.300 Pronouns are a fascinating part of modern culture.

00:48:20.820 I don't think many people think about them very often

00:48:23.700 until someone like myself or others say their pronouns.

00:48:30.120 So when I introduce myself, I generally say,

00:48:32.480 Hi, my name's Sam Brinton.

00:48:33.660 I use they and them as my pronouns.

00:48:35.360 And I serve as Head of Advocacy and Government Affairs for The Trevor Project.

00:48:39.500 I give this before I even give my job

00:48:41.680 because it's the important way that you're going to describe me.

00:48:44.860 Not what I do, but who I am.

00:48:47.620 And that I respect for my gender is really, really important.

00:48:53.540 Of course, you know, everything he said there is nonsense,

00:48:56.020 but he's dressed even more nonsensically.

00:48:58.940 He looks like he got into a fight with a Hot Topic mannequin and lost.

00:49:02.560 Or maybe he looks like a Jason Bourne cross-dressing with a costume he bought on clearance

00:49:06.960 at Party City the day after Halloween. 1.00

00:49:09.440 Worse yet, Brinton is also a bestiality fetishist who enjoys having sex with men dressed like dogs. 0.99

00:49:15.980 And if you're interested, you can learn more about that in one of the Kink 101 workshops 0.99

00:49:20.820 that he taught on college campuses.

00:49:22.440 And finally, to complete Brinton's resume, he also wrote an article for The Advocate in 2015

00:49:27.080 where he defended a website called Rent Boy, Rent Boy was it called,

00:49:30.820 which had been shut down by the feds for facilitating underage prostitution. 1.00

00:49:35.060 And in the since-deleted article, Brinton worried that there would be serious ramifications,

00:49:39.340 quote-unquote, to the gay community if the prostitution site was taken down.

00:49:43.880 He argued that Rent Boy was performing a service by giving young people a way to, quote,

00:49:47.680 earn a living by selling their bodies. 0.99

00:49:50.280 So this guy is, to summarize, a sick, twisted deviant. 0.99

00:49:54.640 And for that reason, not in spite of it, but because of it, 0.99

00:49:58.140 he was made a high-level official in the Biden administration.

00:50:00.560 And that brings us to the latest news, first reported by a site called alphanews.com.

00:50:06.280 And here it is, quote,

00:50:07.660 Law enforcement at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport

00:50:10.620 were alerted to a missing suitcase in the baggage claim area on September 16th.

00:50:14.460 The adult female victim said she flew into MSP on a Delta flight from New Orleans

00:50:19.040 and went to retrieve her checked bag at Carousel 7.

00:50:21.840 Airport records confirmed the navy blue Vera Bradley roller bag arrived at 4.40 p.m.

00:50:26.100 but was missing from the carousel.

00:50:27.780 So law enforcement reviewed video surveillance footage from the baggage claim area

00:50:31.860 and observed Brinton removing a navy blue roller bag from Carousel 7,

00:50:38.120 according to a criminal complaint.

00:50:39.540 The complaint says Brinton removed a luggage tag from the bag,

00:50:42.040 placed it into a handbag that he was carrying,

00:50:44.100 and then left the area at a quick pace.

00:50:46.400 Brinton arrived at MSP Airport around 4.27 on an American Airlines flight from Washington, D.C.,

00:50:51.900 but did not check a bag.

00:50:53.560 Police showed the surveillance video to the victim, and she confirmed it was her bag.

00:50:58.600 Now, by the way, just a side note here,

00:51:00.320 take special note of the fact that he didn't check a bag himself,

00:51:04.160 which would negate any defense that he took the bag by accident,

00:51:08.340 thinking that, you know, it was one of his own bags.

00:51:10.300 There's no reason for him to even be in the baggage claim area if he didn't check a bag to begin with,

00:51:16.400 unless he was there specifically to steal a bag, which appears to be the case.

00:51:20.500 Back to the article, it says Brinton left the airport in an Uber

00:51:23.360 for a stay at the Intercontinental St. Paul Riverfront Hotel,

00:51:26.260 where he checked in with the blue bag.

00:51:27.920 The complaint says he returned to MSP on September 18th

00:51:30.380 with the bag in hand for a departing flight back to Washington, D.C.

00:51:33.840 Surveillance video from Dulles International Airport

00:51:35.960 shows Brinton traveling with the bag on an October 9th return trip from Europe.

00:51:40.300 The victim said the estimated value of the bag and its contents was around $2,325.

00:51:45.180 Police questioned Brinton about the missing bag in an October 19th phone call,

00:51:48.640 9th phone call, and asked him directly if he took anything that did not belong to him.

00:51:52.960 Not that I know of, Brinton allegedly responded.

00:51:55.360 He later admitted to taking the bag but said the clothes inside were his.

00:51:59.500 I don't know how that would work, according to the complaint.

00:52:01.080 If I had taken the wrong bag, I'm happy to return it,

00:52:03.640 but I don't have any clothes for another individual.

00:52:06.320 That was my clothes when I opened the bag, he told police.

00:52:10.300 So someone else flying from a different city had a bag that magically had his clothes in it.

00:52:16.380 Brinton allegedly called the investigating officers two hours later

00:52:18.560 and apologized for not being completely honest.

00:52:21.140 This time, Brinton said that he took the bag because he was tired and thought that it was his,

00:52:25.540 the complaint says.

00:52:27.000 He was tired.

00:52:28.380 Sure, that makes sense.

00:52:29.120 I mean, who hasn't been so tired while traveling that they wander down to the baggage claim,

00:52:34.140 bleary-eyed, take a random bag, walk out with it, take an Uber to the hotel,

00:52:39.040 and then keep the bag and travel with it again two weeks later?

00:52:43.020 Happens to the best of us.

00:52:44.960 If it's possible, his excuse only gets worse from here.

00:52:47.320 Because he later told police that when he opened the bag in his hotel room,

00:52:51.200 you know, at that point he noticed that it wasn't his,

00:52:53.280 but he was nervous that they'd think that he stole the bag.

00:52:55.340 So his solution was to take all the clothes out and leave them in the drawers in the hotel room,

00:53:00.280 but take the bag with him.

00:53:02.400 Because he said he thought it would be weird to leave the bag with its contents in the room.

00:53:07.660 I suppose it's no surprise that this guy doesn't have the clearest concept of what is weird and what isn't.

00:53:12.340 Because if he did, he'd realize that of all the choices he could have made throughout this ordeal,

00:53:16.340 he made each time definitely the weirdest one.

00:53:20.460 And that's if his story is even true, which of course it almost certainly isn't.

00:53:24.440 Police say that they never recovered any clothes from his hotel room.

00:53:28.400 By all appearances then, he kept not only the bag, but he kept the clothing as well.

00:53:32.660 And so he's now charged with a felony.

00:53:36.160 Okay, so this whole saga raises a question.

00:53:40.380 It raises indeed more than one question.

00:53:43.040 And so a few of those questions are things like, you know,

00:53:45.660 why would this guy brazenly steal a random woman's luggage?

00:53:50.100 I mean, didn't he realize there are security cameras all over the airport?

00:53:53.440 It's an airport.

00:53:55.600 And it may have been a nice suitcase as far as suitcases go.

00:53:58.440 I don't know.

00:53:59.040 But was it worth the criminal charge and public embarrassment that we're sure to follow?

00:54:03.100 You could not choose a worse place for stealing luggage than an airport.

00:54:06.900 I don't recommend stealing luggage at all.

00:54:08.660 But if you're going to try it, you're better off trying to steal it from like the store where it's sold

00:54:13.260 than from an airport where there are 15 cameras every five paces.

00:54:18.440 So what could possibly motivate this sort of behavior?

00:54:24.400 As to that last question, I can only speculate.

00:54:27.580 But there is one answer that seems pretty evident here.

00:54:30.860 It would seem that Brenton took the bag because he has a cross-dressing fetish.

00:54:36.360 And he gets off on the idea of wearing some strange woman's clothing.

00:54:41.920 Why is he willing to put his career and reputation on the line?

00:54:44.500 Well, partly because he knows he's in a protected class and he can do whatever he wants.

00:54:47.960 But also partly because deviant perverts like Sam Britton are willing to risk pretty much anything 0.93

00:54:53.800 in pursuit of their weird, sick pleasures. 0.99

00:54:57.180 They are driven almost exclusively by their sexual desires.

00:55:00.740 This is true of any fetishist who feels the need to live out those fetishes in public.

00:55:06.840 Not only to live them out publicly, but to force the public to actively participate in them.

00:55:13.220 Because this is what modern tolerance is so often about.

00:55:16.200 It's about allowing people, usually men, to involve the whole world in their sexual fetishes. 0.74

00:55:22.500 Many of the men who call themselves trans are really just autogynophiles. 0.81

00:55:26.000 And many of them who call themselves non-binary are really just cross-dressing fetishes. 0.99

00:55:31.000 It's as simple as that.

00:55:33.140 And we have elevated the fetish to a lifestyle that we all not only have to tolerate,

00:55:41.440 which we shouldn't even have to do that, but also affirm it, which is to participate in it.

00:55:49.900 We have empowered these troubled people in our society rather than encouraging them to seek 1.00

00:55:55.700 psychological treatment and spiritual healing for their perverse and unnatural desires,

00:56:00.560 which is what they need.

00:56:02.520 And when you empower that enough, you end up and you empower it to the level that Sam Britton

00:56:06.920 has been literally empowered.

00:56:08.880 By being given a position in the White House, you end up with exactly what happened at the

00:56:13.380 Minneapolis airport.

00:56:14.400 And that is why Sam Britton is most certainly, and I imagine probably not for the first time on

00:56:18.820 this show, canceled.

00:56:20.760 And that'll do it for this portion of the show as we move over to the members block.

00:56:23.620 Hope to see you there.

00:56:24.280 If not, talk to you tomorrow.

00:56:26.020 Godspeed.

00:56:26.260 Godspeed.
