The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1088 - I Am The Transphobe Of The Year

00:00:00.120 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a left-wing media outlet honors me with an incredibly prestigious award.

00:00:04.900 It's a great way to start the new year. Also, an NFL player collapses on the field.

00:00:08.440 60 Minutes trots out an environmentalist prophet of doom who has been notoriously wrong about literally everything for decades.

00:00:14.460 The usual suspects dance on the grave of Pope Benedict, and the team formerly known as the Washington Redskins unveil their new mascot.

00:00:20.620 Plus, a libertarian publication is here to tell us that we shouldn't be so worried about children at drag shows.

00:00:25.840 It's all a moral panic, they say. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:30.000 We'll be right back.

00:01:00.000 Reflection and prayer along the way.

00:01:01.620 What better way to start the new year?

00:01:03.320 You can find the Bible in a Year podcast with Fr. Mike Schmitz for free in your favorite podcast app or on YouTube.

00:01:34.340 As we begin the new year, I believe it is important to move forward, to keep our gaze fixed upon the horizon.

00:01:41.920 We don't want to spend too much time looking back, dwelling on the past.

00:01:45.360 Yet, I must say that I do begin this year in a bit of a reflective mood because 2022 was, in many ways, a landmark year in my own life.

00:01:54.540 It began with my episode of Dr. Phil in early January.

00:01:58.220 A week after that episode aired, I was off to Africa filming our, at the time, still secret documentary project, What is a Woman?,

00:02:06.020 which would be released on the first day of Pride Month in June of 2022 and go on to become one of the most influential and talked about documentaries of the current century.

00:02:15.460 In the fall, we exposed and brought down Vanderbilt's child mutilation program, which led to our rally to end child mutilation,

00:02:22.820 which was attended by upwards of 3,000 people, which led to the introduction of legislation banning child gender transitions in the state of Tennessee.

00:02:31.260 All of that, and we still found time to do other things like raise awareness about, you know, important issues like translucent mermaids and satanic anime.

00:02:41.180 So, there was a lot going on in 2022, and I'm very proud of all of those accomplishments.

00:02:48.920 And though I don't do it for the awards, I don't do it for the accolades, I still appreciate and am humbled by them when they come,

00:02:56.440 which is why I must take a moment to thank the prominent left-wing publication, The New Republic,

00:03:02.400 which, in the lead-up to the new year last week, published a long article awarding me the title and trophy that I think I worked very hard all year to earn.

00:03:13.460 This is their headline.

00:03:15.360 Transphobe of the Year, Matt Walsh.

00:03:17.480 The right-wing writer and podcaster has raised his profile by spreading grotesque conspiracy theories about grooming and pedophilia in the LGBTQ community.

00:03:27.940 Yes, facing stiff competition from the likes of Tucker Carlson and Chris Ruffeau and Libs of TikTok and others,

00:03:33.860 I was still given the prestigious title of Transphobe of the Year.

00:03:38.620 The writer Indigo Olivier explains why the honor went to me.

00:03:42.620 She writes, quote,

00:03:43.780 From book bans to bomb threats, 2022 has been characterized by a disturbing rise in right-wing violence brought on by the viral moral panic of very online fearmongers.

00:03:55.060 And the biggest target of this mayhem has been the transgender community. 1.00

00:03:59.020 Figures like Libs of TikTok's Shia Rejcik, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, and the Manhattan Institute's Chris Ruffeau

00:04:04.720 have joined conservative politicians in flooding right-wing airwaves with hate speech and misinformation on issues like gender-affirming care and children's sports.

00:04:13.500 But in a year when Transgender Day of Remembrance was marked by a mass shooting at a LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs,

00:04:20.120 one man stands out from the crowd, Matt Walsh.

00:04:24.540 I've already decided that I want this person to deliver the eulogy at my funeral,

00:04:28.840 which I think she'll be more than happy to do, actually.

00:04:30.820 But we're just getting started.

00:04:31.780 It says, quote,

00:04:33.060 The Daily Wire columnist and podcast host has made the name for himself by demonizing medical professionals

00:04:38.560 and pushing conspiracy theories about grooming and pedophilia in the LGBTQ community.

00:04:44.160 If the Club Q shooter is a lone wolf attacker, we should consider Walsh the unofficial PAC leader.

00:04:50.040 While the bodies were still warm, the host of the Matt Walsh show would log on to say,

00:04:53.900 quote,

00:04:54.120 If drag shows are causing this much chaos and violence, why do you insist on continuing to do it? 1.00

00:04:58.560 If, according to you, it's like putting people's lives at risk, if the effort to have men cross-dress in front of children

00:05:03.200 is putting people's lives at risk, why are you still doing it?

00:05:06.640 It's a crowded field, but the New Republic has crowned Walsh 2022's Transphobe of the Year.

00:05:12.500 So based on my reading of this, it seems that the Transphobe of the Year competition was a very stiff competition.

00:05:19.680 And it came down to the wire at the end, and I finally pushed ahead of the pack

00:05:24.060 by making the exceedingly obvious and basic observation documented in that paragraph,

00:05:29.880 which is that, you know, by the groomer's own account,

00:05:33.640 there has been mass violence and chaos in response to drag performances for children.

00:05:40.560 Now, this account is entirely fictional, but that's beside the point.

00:05:45.200 The point is that if it's true that exposing children to drag has caused this violent backlash,

00:05:52.740 then, you know, it stands to reason that one way to stop the violence would be to simply stop

00:05:58.140 sexually harassing children at drag shows.

00:06:01.360 So if you really think that inviting children to your drag show will put your life at risk,

00:06:06.940 and yet you still do it anyway,

00:06:09.680 that only goes to show how totally dedicated you are to grooming.

00:06:13.420 You're apparently willing to martyr yourself for the cause, 0.98

00:06:16.880 which just makes you all the more deranged. 0.97

00:06:19.800 That's the point.

00:06:21.220 Anyway, back to the article with a little bit about my origin story.

00:06:24.000 It says,

00:06:24.840 Walsh launched his fetid career in the same manner as many of the worst of the right-wing swamp,

00:06:29.720 conservative talk radio.

00:06:31.480 Walsh has since gone on to create Johnny the Walrus,

00:06:33.640 an allegorical children's picture book about a boy who pretends to be a walrus.

00:06:37.120 It reached number one on Amazon's LGBTQ bestsellers list,

00:06:40.760 and the overall bestsellers list, by the way.

00:06:42.340 And What is a Woman? 1.00

00:06:43.740 A feature-length documentary on gender ideology.

00:06:46.160 Since his early years on radio,

00:06:47.360 he's gone from a bog-standard shock jock vibe

00:06:50.000 to a preppy fountain of increasingly weird far-right obsessions.

00:06:54.660 Media Matters LGBTQ program director Aerie Drennan

00:06:57.760 has followed Walsh's studied transformation,

00:07:00.300 which he's changed his appearance based on his audience.

00:07:03.420 She said,

00:07:03.800 Yes, the people who are clinging desperately onto my coattails,

00:07:25.300 reporting on my every statement like I'm the Pope issuing infallible proclamations to the faithful,

00:07:31.180 attaching themselves to me like barnacles on the side of a ship,

00:07:35.140 and doing it all for clout,

00:07:37.000 are concerned that I'm the one who is trying too hard to be famous.

00:07:41.500 And in their version of events,

00:07:43.640 okay, in their version of events,

00:07:45.260 I wanted to be famous so much that I grew a beard and wore flannels.

00:07:52.780 Because everybody knows that's the first step to fame and fortune.

00:07:57.120 They have it pegged, I have to say.

00:07:59.180 They've got it.

00:07:59.840 I still remember the day, a couple of years ago.

00:08:02.840 I'll never forget.

00:08:03.780 I was thumbing through a Bass Pro Shop catalog,

00:08:06.980 dreaming of one day becoming wealthy and renowned,

00:08:10.180 when suddenly my eyes fell on a Carhartt flannel.

00:08:14.240 And I said to myself,

00:08:15.540 Yes, this is it.

00:08:17.000 This is the ticket.

00:08:18.920 And the rest is history.

00:08:21.000 Now, we're not going to read through too much more of this,

00:08:23.220 but the next paragraph I think is worth some attention.

00:08:25.800 It says,

00:08:26.120 I am literally a theocratic fascist.

00:08:29.360 I do indeed believe that my religious beliefs

00:08:31.100 should be forced on people by the government.

00:08:33.240 And not just the government,

00:08:34.500 but a government headed by me as a dictator.

00:08:36.580 Walsh said in a 2019 video for the Daily Wire

00:08:38.600 before referencing his recent Twitter tirade against white condiments.

00:08:42.700 Mayo, cream cheese, ricotta, tartar sauce, ranch dressing.

00:08:47.340 In my theocratic fascist dictatorship,

00:08:49.160 all of those condiments will be confiscated, prohibited.

00:08:51.780 And anyone who's caught with contraband,

00:08:53.200 like say ranch dressing,

00:08:54.220 will face execution and a $50 fine.

00:08:57.360 Are you in on the joke?

00:08:59.120 Like I said, this guy is deeply weird.

00:09:03.180 Now, I fail to see anything weird 0.86

00:09:05.480 about wanting to execute people who use ranch dressing.

00:09:09.920 Ranch dressing tastes like buttermilk mixed with like pool water. 0.98

00:09:13.600 Okay, it's disgusting.

00:09:15.420 What else are we supposed to do with ranch dressing users 1.00

00:09:19.020 except kill them? 0.99

00:09:21.000 I'm open to other solutions, 0.99

00:09:22.680 but nobody's offering any.

00:09:24.220 So I've started this conversation.

00:09:25.420 I started it years ago.

00:09:26.500 What do we do about people using ranch dressing?

00:09:28.520 I have one idea. 1.00

00:09:29.340 We could kill them all. 1.00

00:09:30.840 If you have other brainstorms 1.00

00:09:33.540 that you want to throw out there,

00:09:34.420 go ahead and do it.

00:09:36.760 I'm just getting the conversation started is all.

00:09:40.320 Back to the article one more time.

00:09:41.540 It says,

00:09:41.760 this guy is deeply dangerous as well.

00:09:44.220 Walsh's most disturbing narratives have centered on children.

00:09:46.640 In August, after Walsh called for an organized effort

00:09:49.500 against medical facilities that butcher children,

00:09:52.140 Boston Children's Hospital,

00:09:53.300 home to the first pediatric and adolescent transgender health program,

00:09:56.200 received its first bomb threat.

00:09:58.460 Walsh, undeterred by the real world effect of his fear mongering,

00:10:02.020 continued to push the claim that the hospital was mutilating children,

00:10:05.700 which I was pushing that claim, by the way,

00:10:07.120 because that's exactly what they were doing.

00:10:08.780 So that's pushing a claim.

00:10:10.780 It's not really, well, it's a claim,

00:10:11.840 but it's a claim of what's actually happening.

00:10:15.160 And so, and it really wasn't a claim at all.

00:10:18.240 Actually, it was more of a like pointing to,

00:10:19.880 see, here's what they're doing.

00:10:21.460 And here are videos of them talking about what they're doing.

00:10:25.460 Anyway, it says,

00:10:26.100 when the hospital received its second bomb threat in early September,

00:10:28.840 Walsh claimed it was a false alarm and a leftist hoax

00:10:31.340 before turning his attention to Vanderbilt University Medical Center's

00:10:34.440 trans health clinic.

00:10:35.940 Walsh is very much against the idea that people should be free to be who they are,

00:10:40.200 so much so that he's led a stochastic terror campaign 0.88

00:10:43.100 against the trans community, which he says he plans on personally taking to the street. 0.99

00:10:47.860 If the Proud Boys are, as some say, modern day brown shirts,

00:10:51.660 they may have found an unlikely leader in Matt Walsh.

00:10:56.100 Yes, that's me.

00:10:57.480 Leader of the Proud Boys.

00:11:00.260 I'm not sure that I've ever even met a Proud Boy,

00:11:03.180 but I am their leader,

00:11:04.460 which comes as news to them and also to me.

00:11:08.060 But if you've listened to all of this so far

00:11:10.140 and you've thought to yourself,

00:11:13.100 well, this isn't fair.

00:11:15.820 I mean, why are they just calling Matt a transphobe? 0.90

00:11:18.920 He's also a racist. 0.94

00:11:21.240 Don't worry. 0.97

00:11:21.940 They make sure to include that accolade at the end.

00:11:23.980 They say,

00:11:24.660 while he reserves the worst hatred for the trans community,

00:11:27.380 Jason Campbell, a senior researcher at Media Matters, 0.77

00:11:30.400 says it's important to point out that Matt Walsh is also a racist.

00:11:33.760 He's becoming this champion of white rights. 0.89

00:11:36.400 They then make note of my translucent mermaid activism before concluding with this.

00:11:42.220 Quote,

00:11:42.720 Walsh is ready to adapt on the fly as various outrages and panics flit from fashionable to played out on the right.

00:11:49.900 Quote,

00:11:50.120 I don't think this moment of anti-trans hysteria is going to last forever, Drennan said.

00:11:55.960 I would not be surprised if whatever the next right-wing moral panic is,

00:12:00.060 we see Matt Walsh once again at the forefront,

00:12:02.560 having conveniently forgotten his fixation on trans people.

00:12:06.340 Perhaps in years to come,

00:12:07.420 he'll find new ways to take home TNR's accolades for scoundrels.

00:12:11.480 Oh,

00:12:13.260 you can count on that.

00:12:14.620 I will find many more ways to upset you in 2023.

00:12:17.400 I guarantee it.

00:12:18.020 No question about it.

00:12:19.540 Except that,

00:12:20.900 if I could just clarify one thing.

00:12:24.660 I am not going to move on from or forget what you call my anti-trans hysteria, quote unquote,

00:12:33.160 until,

00:12:33.960 until the trans movement has been totally and completely destroyed.

00:12:38.840 That much I can promise you.

00:12:41.480 I want it to be completely laying in ash, in ruin.

00:12:44.940 That's what I want.

00:12:46.900 Now,

00:12:47.420 to that end,

00:12:48.580 we did make major inroads last year.

00:12:51.040 The trans movement was running roughshod over the culture for years with basically no opposition.

00:12:56.420 And that has now changed.

00:12:59.520 And you,

00:13:00.600 on the left,

00:13:01.120 have noticed that.

00:13:02.400 And you're panicking.

00:13:04.420 And you're hoping that we'll be just sort of happy with the battles we've won so far.

00:13:08.420 And then we'll just move on to something else.

00:13:10.340 But your hopes are in vain.

00:13:13.500 Because we're out to win the entire war.

00:13:15.980 And we will.

00:13:17.660 So stay tuned.

00:13:19.800 Now let's get to our headlines.

00:13:20.900 The current administration's New Year's goals are to tax, spend, and turn a blind eye to inflation.

00:13:32.860 And if this is at odds with your goals,

00:13:34.940 if you're tired of the government playing games with your savings and your retirement plan,

00:13:38.800 then you need to get in touch with the experts at Birch Gold today.

00:13:41.620 For over 5,000 years, gold has withstood inflation, geopolitical turmoil, and stock market crashes.

00:13:48.280 So now you can own gold in a tax-sheltered retirement account.

00:13:51.920 Birch Gold makes it easy to convert an IRA or 401k into an IRA in precious metals.

00:14:11.340 But you got to text Walsh to 989898 and protect yourself with gold today.

00:14:15.800 That's Walsh to 989898 today.

00:14:18.880 Headline from the New York Times,

00:14:21.680 Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills in critical condition after collapsing during an NFL game.

00:14:27.540 The article says Damar Hamlin, a 24-year-old safety in his second season with the Buffalo Bills,

00:14:31.700 was in critical condition in a hospital after going into cardiac arrest during a Monday night game

00:14:35.720 against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to the Bills.

00:14:38.400 Team officials said in a statement early Tuesday that Hamlin's heart stopped

00:14:41.740 after he was hit during a play in the first quarter.

00:14:44.340 His heartbeat was restored by medical personnel on the field

00:14:46.720 before Hamlin was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center,

00:14:50.040 adding, according to the Bills again,

00:14:51.720 adding that Hamlin was undergoing further testing and treatment and had been sedated.

00:14:56.060 About nine minutes into the game on Monday night,

00:14:58.500 Hamlin tackled Bengals receiver T. Higgins after a 13-yard catch.

00:15:02.100 Higgins rammed into Hamlin at full speed, hitting him in the head and chest area.

00:15:05.840 Hamlin quickly stood up, took two steps, and collapsed backwards, and his body went limp.

00:15:10.760 Medical personnel administered CPR and attended to him for 10 minutes.

00:15:13.440 His players from both teams were visibly upset.

00:15:15.140 And then eventually was taken out on a stretcher and transported to the hospital.

00:15:19.400 All of this, if you don't watch football often, maybe it still wouldn't surprise you to learn

00:15:23.160 that this is all, you know, extremely unusual.

00:15:25.940 Obviously, for someone to have an injury and need to be attended to, that's not unusual.

00:15:30.980 But to see CPR being administered, I don't think I've ever seen that before in a football game.

00:15:36.260 And being carted out by an ambulance on the field is, we have seen that on occasion,

00:15:41.580 but that's very rare. So the two things together, it's something we've never seen before.

00:15:47.020 The game was suspended to be rescheduled, I'm not sure when at this point.

00:15:51.980 And as of right now, you know, last I heard, Hamlin's vital signs are back to normal,

00:15:57.720 but he's being intubated with a breathing tube.

00:16:00.180 So, you know, the good news is that he's still alive.

00:16:04.520 And him still being alive right now seemed very much in doubt last night.

00:16:09.460 I think for people that were watching it when it happened,

00:16:12.060 you were wondering if you just watched someone die on a football field.

00:16:16.480 And right now it seems like, well, I don't want to speculate,

00:16:21.800 but he has survived up to this point.

00:16:23.380 And hopefully, you know, his recovery will continue.

00:16:27.840 Now, of course, immediately after this happened,

00:16:32.080 you started to see the speculation online that this was somehow related to the COVID vaccine.

00:16:40.580 Was Hamlin suffering some kind of reaction to the COVID vaccine?

00:16:45.980 Was this a myocarditis situation?

00:16:49.040 Some people were asking, you know, some people were asking that question.

00:16:52.280 Was it related to the vaccine?

00:16:53.560 Other people were getting very angry at the people who were asking the question.

00:16:56.900 And there was a lot of shouting and recrimination back and forth.

00:16:59.460 And everybody was very mad.

00:17:01.080 So just another day on the Internet as far as that goes.

00:17:04.220 And here's what I'll say about this.

00:17:06.400 And I have one of those kinds of opinions that is sure to, you know,

00:17:10.100 maybe upset people on both sides, at least the unreasonable people on both sides.

00:17:13.880 So on the one hand, there is no actual evidence that this has anything to do with a vaccine.

00:17:23.460 We don't even know if the player was vaccinated.

00:17:26.180 Okay, that's a really important detail here that that, as far as I know, is not known.

00:17:30.320 He hasn't, the player has not announced that.

00:17:33.220 And if he hasn't announced it, then, you know, that's his medical right to privacy.

00:17:37.040 And so we just don't know.

00:17:38.120 There never was, and this is maybe a misconception people have,

00:17:42.580 there never was a vaccine mandate in the NFL for players.

00:17:47.420 That was something that Aaron Rodgers last year famously tested.

00:17:52.740 Tested, you know, whether or not there was a mandate.

00:17:57.260 And he was able to, unlike in the NBA, for example,

00:17:59.440 where you had a few players that didn't want to get vaccinated and they were held out of games,

00:18:03.280 players that didn't get vaccinated in the NFL, they still were able to play.

00:18:06.340 So there was never a vaccine mandate, which means that just because a player's in the NFL,

00:18:12.120 we can't assume that they're vaccinated.

00:18:13.860 It's possible that he wasn't.

00:18:16.940 And even if he was vaccinated, it also doesn't make sense to just assume that the two things are related.

00:18:24.340 You know, just because you have two data points, you have,

00:18:27.480 he collapsed on the field and he was vaccinated.

00:18:29.820 In order to, you know, draw a link of causation,

00:18:33.640 you need more information than we currently have.

00:18:37.060 And besides, the assumption might have a bit more weight if he had just collapsed randomly while running down the field.

00:18:43.900 But that's not what happened.

00:18:46.820 The fact is that he suffered a blow directly to the chest right before he collapsed.

00:18:53.120 And it does, people have, we're saying online, I've been saying since it happened,

00:18:56.540 that it looks like a relatively normal sort of tackle that you see, looks garden variety.

00:19:00.800 You know, it looks like a normal thing you see in the NFL all the time, which is true.

00:19:05.320 But keep in mind that a normal tackle in the NFL can still be a collision roughly equivalent to a car crash.

00:19:13.520 So normal doesn't really mean anything.

00:19:16.440 We also know that there is a rare condition.

00:19:20.140 It's, it's, it's rare, but it's very real.

00:19:22.800 And it's been known about for many years where somebody in an athletic setting gets hit in the chest at exactly the wrong moment.

00:19:30.680 And exactly the wrong part of their chest.

00:19:33.400 And then, and then it, it, it interrupts the heart's rhythm and it causes cardiac arrest.

00:19:38.840 That is a real thing.

00:19:40.060 It's called a commodio cortis.

00:19:43.020 Now I, I never heard of that until last night.

00:19:44.980 And the thing is like another thing about the internet, obviously is people are introduced to a concept and 30 seconds later, they're experts in it.

00:19:53.300 So last night there were a lot of commodio cortis experts on Twitter.

00:19:57.700 I'm not one of them.

00:19:58.820 I don't know anything about it.

00:20:00.140 I learned about it last night, but it is apparent that this is a thing that exists.

00:20:06.980 It's been documented.

00:20:08.200 It does happen.

00:20:09.300 It's again, rare, but rare.

00:20:11.220 That's the thing about something that's rare.

00:20:12.500 It happens doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

00:20:15.940 And you can see the video.

00:20:17.100 I think we have the video of, of this.

00:20:19.980 Let's just put this up.

00:20:20.820 Not the video, not part where he's collapsing, but you see where he's hitting the chest.

00:20:23.380 Go ahead and play this.

00:20:24.460 So he's hitting the chest right there and you can see his body kind of fold around the hit.

00:20:28.280 So that is a, yeah, as well, it's a normal hit in the NFL.

00:20:30.880 Yeah, it's a normal hit, but that is a full speed jolt right to the chest.

00:20:36.060 And that, it's, it's not unreasonable to think that that could really hurt someone, obviously.

00:20:44.240 Now, on the other hand, you cannot blame people for asking the vaccine question.

00:20:53.840 Okay.

00:20:54.540 It's, it is, it is not reasonable to get upset when people are asking about the possibility

00:21:00.300 of a connection here.

00:21:01.160 You can't blame them because first of all, it is a potential factor.

00:21:07.860 That doesn't mean that it's, that it's a real factor.

00:21:10.900 It doesn't mean that, that, that it's an actual factor, but it's a potential.

00:21:13.620 When you look at all the possibilities here, there's a lot of potential.

00:21:17.260 We don't have a lot of information.

00:21:18.340 So all we have right now is potential.

00:21:20.320 And that is one of the potential factors.

00:21:24.420 The potential is there.

00:21:25.560 And so people are going to wonder about potentials in a situation like this.

00:21:32.200 Besides, even if you think that the vaccine issue is a total non-factor, the fact is that

00:21:40.260 millions of people are thinking it anyway.

00:21:43.140 Whether you think they should be thinking it or not, they are.

00:21:46.500 So that's just, as soon as this happened, immediately millions of people are thinking,

00:21:55.080 does this have, does this have something to do with the vaccine?

00:21:57.720 Now, my point is that like, if millions of people are thinking it, the idea that it's

00:22:04.440 wrong to verbalize what millions of people are thinking and have in their heads already

00:22:09.820 is just absurd.

00:22:11.840 What's why, why get upset about that?

00:22:14.260 You know, people are thinking and wondering it.

00:22:17.660 So like, we're not allowed to talk about the thing that's in our heads anyway.

00:22:21.800 For what reason?

00:22:25.160 And by the way, if you're concerned about so-called conspiracy theories and people engaging in

00:22:30.980 what you consider to be conjecture and all the rest of it, shouting people down when

00:22:38.400 they bring this up is not the way to, you know, address that.

00:22:44.260 Also, the other thing is we've been lied to, right?

00:22:47.500 Again and again and again.

00:22:49.120 We've been lied about the vaccine, about the virus, about everything.

00:22:53.280 And that makes people suspicious.

00:22:55.300 It makes people more likely to engage in speculation.

00:22:59.400 This is the consequence of a lack of trust.

00:23:03.500 And the lack of trust is the fault of the public health authorities that now chastise the people

00:23:09.640 who are speculating, but it's their fault.

00:23:12.180 See, I don't blame people for speculating because what else are they going to do?

00:23:16.400 Wait for a trusted authority to tell us?

00:23:18.460 Well, who is that exactly?

00:23:19.820 Who's the trusted authority at this point?

00:23:22.820 Where is this mythical person?

00:23:25.020 They don't exist.

00:23:25.700 So when you have a lack of trust, you know, we don't trust the public health authorities,

00:23:31.820 so-called, you don't trust the media, and they're the ones that are supposed to be disseminating

00:23:35.580 this information.

00:23:37.720 And when that happens, all that's left, you just, you just, you have an environment where

00:23:41.620 people are just kind of on their own, imagining scenarios.

00:23:47.780 It's certainly not ideal, but it's inevitable.

00:23:50.580 And I don't blame the people who are imagining these scenarios.

00:23:56.660 I blame the people who have created this catastrophic lack of trust.

00:24:02.020 So that's how that all breaks down.

00:24:06.620 All right, let's move to this.

00:24:09.680 Headline from the Daily Wire, stand firm in the faith, Pope Benedict XVI's final message

00:24:15.300 to the faithful.

00:24:15.920 Now, we missed some major news events over the break, and this is one that I think is

00:24:22.140 worth circling back to.

00:24:23.240 Pope Benedict, of course, passed away at age 95 on New Year's Eve, a day after, I believe

00:24:28.400 it was a day after, Barbara Walters died at 93.

00:24:30.380 So here's the Daily Wire report.

00:24:32.040 Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI told Catholics to stand firm in the faith in his final message

00:24:36.800 to the faithful.

00:24:37.980 The Vatican published a late Pope's spiritual testament shortly after his death on Saturday.

00:24:41.700 In it, Benedict thanked his family, his friends, and God for the blessings of his life

00:24:45.280 and asked forgiveness from anyone who he had wronged.

00:24:47.900 He then urged believers to stand strong in the faith, even in the face of philosophical

00:24:51.520 and scientific opposition.

00:24:53.600 He wrote, quote,

00:24:54.560 If in this late hour of my life I look back at the decades I have been through, first I

00:24:59.160 see how many reasons I have to give thanks.

00:25:01.660 First and foremost, I thank God himself, the giver of every good gift, who gave me life

00:25:05.560 and guided me through various confusing times, always picking me up whenever I began to slip

00:25:09.960 and always giving me again the light of his face.

00:25:12.380 In retrospect, I see and understand that even the dark and tiring stretches of this journey

00:25:16.580 were for my salvation and that it was in them that he guided me well.

00:25:20.880 He went on to thank his parents for providing him with a loving home and role models for

00:25:24.340 his faith.

00:25:24.760 He also thanked his brother and sister for caring for and guiding him through his life.

00:25:28.000 He also thanked his friends, colleagues, and former students.

00:25:30.600 Benedict then instructed Catholics to remain true to the faith in the face of opposition from

00:25:34.460 science and philosophy.

00:25:36.180 He wrote, quote,

00:25:36.760 Stand firm in the faith.

00:25:37.960 Do not let yourselves be confused.

00:25:39.660 It often seems that science, the natural sciences on the one hand, and historical research,

00:25:43.740 especially exegesis of sacred scripture on the other, are able to offer irrefutable results

00:25:48.480 at odds with the Catholic faith.

00:25:50.260 I've experienced the transformations of the natural sciences since long ago, and I've been

00:25:53.720 able to see how, on the contrary, apparent certainties against the faith have vanished,

00:25:58.800 proving to be not science but philosophical interpretations only apparently pertaining to science.

00:26:03.920 He also noted that science helps to better define the parameters of faith, and the whole

00:26:09.900 statement from him, his final words, are certainly worth reading and going to do that.

00:26:17.420 As for my own thoughts on Benedict, I would just say that he was, first of all, a great

00:26:21.280 theologian, and I read a few of his books.

00:26:23.820 Jesus of Nazareth was my favorite of his.

00:26:26.060 Actually, it's multiple volumes about the life of Jesus.

00:26:29.500 And the important thing about Benedict, for my money, is not just that he was orthodox,

00:26:34.920 a defender of orthodoxy, but that he was able to write and speak beautifully and clearly

00:26:41.240 and in a way that people could understand.

00:26:44.140 There have been a lot of great theologians through the history of the church who have

00:26:50.740 incredible insight to offer, but you need to already have a PhD in theology to understand

00:26:55.100 what they're saying.

00:26:56.080 That was not the case for Pope Benedict.

00:26:57.300 And as for his acts as Pope, he welcomed back the Latin Mass, oversaw the reemergence of

00:27:03.180 the most traditional and reverent form of the Mass.

00:27:05.800 Now, it's true that a lot of that is being undone right now by his predecessor, unfortunately,

00:27:09.500 but the key thing is that in making that change, he facilitated a wave of young people and young

00:27:16.900 families coming into the church, people who were looking for something sacred, something

00:27:22.160 reverent, something mystical, and found it in the Catholic Church under Pope Benedict.

00:27:28.040 So even if Francis is trying his level best to ruin all of that, I don't think he can undo

00:27:32.280 all of it, and even despite his best efforts.

00:27:36.240 But the challenge with Benedict, the difficulty I have with him, is that he left.

00:27:43.680 He retired.

00:27:44.200 He gave the church over to Francis, and yet obviously was not on his deathbed when he

00:27:49.920 left because he lived another decade.

00:27:52.760 And it's hard for me to, that's the thing that's hard for me to reconcile.

00:27:57.180 Because I think that Pope Francis' pontiff has been such a, his papacy has been such an

00:28:02.540 absolute disaster, and you have Benedict who stepped aside and remained relatively silent

00:28:09.760 as Francis executed his reign of confusion and moral insanity that's been ongoing for

00:28:15.540 a decade now.

00:28:16.600 So that's the part that for me is extremely difficult.

00:28:19.120 But all in all, you know, a great life, a life of great consequence.

00:28:23.640 So naturally, of course, that means that leftists on social media and in the corporate media,

00:28:28.640 they were dancing on his grave when he died.

00:28:30.420 I'm not going to go through and read examples.

00:28:32.780 You can imagine just posting the most vile and hateful things.

00:28:37.880 One note I will make about that, though, is that obviously it's not especially surprising

00:28:41.700 that they would react this way to a Pope dying, especially that Pope, because he's known to

00:28:46.580 be conservative, orthodox, and so they hate him reflexively for that.

00:28:50.380 They don't need to know anything else about him, and they don't.

00:28:54.880 But they know that.

00:28:55.840 They know that he's Catholic, he's a Pope, and that he was, you know, associated with

00:29:00.400 being conservative, and so that's enough reason to hate him.

00:29:04.140 But this is a trend now, I think, when most famous people, especially older famous people,

00:29:10.380 die.

00:29:10.640 Same thing happened with Queen Elizabeth.

00:29:13.200 More often than not now, the death of a significant person is met with jeers and mocking

00:29:20.960 and ridicule and jokes.

00:29:22.580 I think it's partly ideological, right?

00:29:26.620 It's partially the people that are dancing on the graves.

00:29:30.240 You know, they associate the dead person with an ideology that they abhor, and so that's part

00:29:34.540 of why they're doing it.

00:29:35.780 But the other part of it is that I think it's the fact that the significant person was significant.

00:29:43.160 It's the significance itself that they hate and loathe and resent.

00:29:49.820 I really think we're entering an age now, we're in an age, actually, where greatness is despised

00:29:56.360 per se.

00:29:57.680 Like, people hate greatness just because it's greatness.

00:30:04.160 So, you know, you have these people that they'll mourn when some irrelevant 22-year-old

00:30:10.660 rapper gets shot, right?

00:30:11.960 They'll mourn that. 1.00

00:30:12.660 Some drugged-out nobody who created garbage, glorified violence, then died by the violence 1.00

00:30:18.600 he glorified. 0.99

00:30:19.260 That will provoke solemn mourning from these people.

00:30:24.220 But precisely because the guy there mourning didn't do anything, he became moderately famous

00:30:30.820 for babbling incoherently in a couple of songs that made it onto their Spotify playlist, and

00:30:35.860 that's it.

00:30:36.420 And they'll mourn a guy like that because he didn't commit the sin of achieving anything

00:30:40.740 significant.

00:30:42.900 But I think if you live a long life and you achieve significant things and you do great things,

00:30:49.260 you're going to be hated just for that reason alone.

00:30:54.160 There's a lot of resentment and jealousy, I think, mixed up in that.

00:30:59.860 But that's what it comes down to.

00:31:03.560 Which is why, really, at this point, the greatest honor that we could all hope to achieve is that

00:31:10.200 when we die, our death will be celebrated on Twitter.

00:31:13.260 Because that means that you did something significant.

00:31:17.460 Because that's the price you pay, ultimately.

00:31:22.060 Let's see.

00:31:24.860 Here's a headline from CBS News.

00:31:26.800 Scientists say the planet is in the midst of a sixth mass extinction.

00:31:31.760 Earth's wildlife are running out of places to live.

00:31:34.100 So this is pretty remarkable.

00:31:36.520 Not the headline.

00:31:37.520 The headline is remarkably bogus.

00:31:39.880 What's remarkable is that 60 Minutes did a report on this supposed environmental crisis,

00:31:45.920 which is completely fake, by the way.

00:31:47.820 But one of the key interviews in this report, I think, has people talking.

00:31:51.420 And talking for all the reasons that 60 Minutes doesn't want.

00:31:55.640 But let's watch a little bit of this first.

00:31:57.000 Finding solutions to the problems was the goal two weeks ago at the U.N. Biodiversity Conference,

00:32:05.000 where nations agreed to conservation targets.

00:32:08.540 But at the same meeting, in 2010, those nations agreed to limit the destruction of the earth by 2020,

00:32:16.100 and not one of those goals was met.

00:32:18.500 This, despite thousands of studies, including the continuing research of Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich.

00:32:26.920 You know that there is no political will to do any of the things that you're recommending.

00:32:34.180 I know there's no political will to do any of the things that I'm concerned with,

00:32:39.920 which is exactly why I and the vast majority of my colleagues think we've had it,

00:32:47.240 that the next few decades will be the end of the kind of civilization we're used to.

00:32:53.340 In the 50 years since Ehrlich's population bomb, humanity's feasting on resources has tripled.

00:33:00.960 We're already consuming 175 percent of what the earth can regenerate.

00:33:06.420 And consider, half of humanity, about 4 billion, live on less than $10 a day.

00:33:13.920 They aspire to cars, air conditioning, and a rich diet.

00:33:19.800 Yes, Paul Ehrlich.

00:33:21.860 This is a guy who's had an illustrious career of being wrong.

00:33:25.780 That's been his job for decades, to just be wrong.

00:33:28.540 And he's been wrong about everything.

00:33:30.380 He has predicted dozens of Armageddons and been wrong about all of them without fail.

00:33:35.460 Now, to his credit, slightly, he at least has the gumption to make specific predictions.

00:33:44.880 And I think that the environmental doomsayers, the climate change chicken littles,

00:33:51.620 these days they've learned their lesson and they're much more sort of vague and broad.

00:33:55.820 And the things that they're saying are ambiguous and kind of they make these amorphous claims that, you know, it's like that no matter what happens with the weather,

00:34:05.800 it automatically validates whatever they just said.

00:34:09.340 So that's what they do these days, always ready to pull their punch.

00:34:14.080 But he didn't do that.

00:34:15.840 He was very specific about this is how many people are going to die.

00:34:19.140 This is when they're going to die and all of that.

00:34:21.520 He wrote the book The Population Bomb in the 60s, which, you know, foretold a future in which hundreds of millions would die from starvation

00:34:28.980 because there are too many people on Earth.

00:34:31.660 And he said, again, he was specific.

00:34:33.800 He said this would happen in the 1980s.

00:34:37.640 But it didn't.

00:34:38.680 And we're now in the 2020s and we have 8 billion people on Earth.

00:34:41.660 And his apocalypse still has not come to fruition.

00:34:46.760 The Federalist has an article about this.

00:34:49.900 Reading a little bit from this.

00:34:50.820 It says, his 1968 book, The Population Bomb, is among the most destructive of the 20th century.

00:34:54.520 The long screed not only made Ehrlich a celebrity but gave end-of-day alarmists a patina of scientific legitimacy,

00:35:02.580 popularized alarmism as a political tool, and normalized authoritarian and anti-humanist policies as a cure.

00:35:08.540 Ehrlich's progeny are other media-favored hysterics by other anti-humanists such as Al Gore, Greta Thunberg,

00:35:14.540 who skipped learning history and science because she also believes we're on the precipice of mass extinction. 0.93

00:35:19.620 And none of this is to mention the thousands of other little Ehrlichs nudging you to eat insects, 1.00

00:35:23.200 gluing themselves to roads, and demanding you surrender to the most basic conveniences and necessities of modernity.

00:35:29.520 The battle to feed all of humanity is over, the opening line of The Population Bomb reads.

00:35:34.580 In the 1970s, hundreds, oh sorry, so he predicted the 70s, not the 80s when this would happen.

00:35:39.940 In the 1970s, hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now, Ehrlich wrote.

00:35:47.440 It was likely, he went on, that the oceans would be without life by 1979,

00:35:52.140 and the United States would see its population plummet to 23 million by 1999 due to pesticides.

00:35:58.580 The death rate will increase until at least 100 to 200 million people per year are starving to death during the next 10 years, he said.

00:36:08.880 And he was wrong about all that.

00:36:12.640 The oceans would be without life.

00:36:15.900 Now there's a bold, again, maybe slightly to his credit, he made bold predictions, and he put a date on it.

00:36:22.660 He said, by this date, this is what will happen.

00:36:25.140 And he also claimed that there was nothing that could be done to prevent this.

00:36:32.180 Which means that he can't say now that, oh, well, I was, you know, I was only wrong about that because I made this prediction,

00:36:38.500 and then people mobilized, and we averted it.

00:36:42.280 Well, you said it can't be averted.

00:36:43.480 So now they've carted this guy's carcass out of its crypt so that he can rattle off some more doomsday prophecies,

00:36:51.580 which is just amazing.

00:36:55.840 And as mentioned in the headline, one of the prophecies that he's now making

00:36:58.800 is that we're on the verge of a sixth greatest extinction event

00:37:04.540 where lots of species on Earth are going to go extinct.

00:37:10.240 Michael Schellenberger on his substack has more on the specific claims being made by Ehrlich this time.

00:37:15.840 He says, on CBS 60 Minutes last night, scientists claim that humans are causing a sixth mass extinction

00:37:20.860 and that we would need the equivalent of five planet Earths for all humans to live at current Western levels.

00:37:27.100 He continues, to cause a mass extinction, humans would need to be wiping out 75 to 90 percent of all species on Earth.

00:37:34.160 The International Union for Conservation of Nature,

00:37:36.780 the main scientific body that tracks species, says just 6 percent of species are critically endangered,

00:37:41.840 9 percent are endangered, and 12 percent are vulnerable to becoming endangered.

00:37:46.360 Further, the IUCN has estimated that just 0.8 percent of the 1,000,

00:37:51.300 about the, you know, a little over 100,000 plant, animal, insect species within its data set

00:37:55.300 have gone extinct since 1500.

00:37:57.980 So that's, in the last 500 years, 0.8 percent have gone extinct.

00:38:04.100 And when you hear figures like this, you also have to always remember

00:38:08.420 that, like, 99 percent of the species that ever existed on Earth

00:38:12.380 had already gone extinct by the time human being, human civilization came about.

00:38:18.420 That's a rate, he continues, that's a rate of fewer than two species lost every year

00:38:22.240 for an annual extinction rate of 0.001 percent.

00:38:25.780 So, this claim is just total nonsense.

00:38:33.260 You know, not only are we not bringing about this mass extinction,

00:38:38.120 but human beings are also working to conserve animal species.

00:38:45.520 There are animal species that are around today and would not be if not for us.

00:38:51.780 Now, you know, the classic example that I always bring up are pandas,

00:38:56.180 but that's, they're not the only ones.

00:38:59.500 But that's, it's a good example.

00:39:01.540 No matter how you feel about pandas, it's a good example to bring up here

00:39:04.480 because they would be extinct not because of us,

00:39:08.760 not because of deforestation or whatever,

00:39:11.180 but just because of their own lack of effort, okay?

00:39:15.000 Pandas, if human beings did not exist at all, pandas would not exist either.

00:39:19.320 So, they are one of the species that we are keeping around 0.82

00:39:23.020 through our conservation efforts.

00:39:26.160 But, as always with the left, like they, no matter what victories they claim,

00:39:32.260 they can never actually claim the victory.

00:39:33.820 They can't actually celebrate anything.

00:39:36.640 So, they call themselves progressive,

00:39:38.860 but even if they achieve progress in a certain area,

00:39:42.320 part of the whole game here, part of the gimmick

00:39:46.280 is to claim that we're constantly in a state

00:39:49.500 where no progress has been made at all.

00:39:51.900 We're constantly in a crisis all the time.

00:39:57.000 And this is the case with, in the environmental arena,

00:40:00.000 this is the case when it comes to race, everything else.

00:40:02.200 So, we're in a crisis.

00:40:07.860 They put forward all of these solutions to solve the crisis.

00:40:13.140 But it's already been decided ahead of time

00:40:15.080 that none of those solutions can actually work

00:40:17.660 because they need the crisis.

00:40:20.200 That's what they need most of all.

00:40:23.120 All right, one other thing to mention here

00:40:25.740 is the headline from NBC Washington,

00:40:28.500 Meet Major Tutty, the Washington commander's new mascot.

00:40:31.520 So, they got rid of the Redskins.

00:40:34.080 And then it took them a little while

00:40:37.140 and they finally settled on the Commanders as the new name.

00:40:39.900 And now they have finally come up with their new mascot.

00:40:42.620 Let's look at this guy.

00:40:44.020 Here's the new mascot that they introduced.

00:40:46.020 This is Commander, or no, Major Tutty.

00:40:54.340 There he is. 0.99

00:40:56.900 He's a pig in a military uniform. 0.99

00:40:58.660 You know, there's a... 0.97

00:41:02.280 Okay, that's the new and improved mascot.

00:41:06.560 You know, there's a barbecue restaurant chain

00:41:09.700 that my dad used to be obsessed with,

00:41:11.080 and I'm not sure if it even exists anymore,

00:41:12.540 but it was called Red Hot and Blue.

00:41:14.860 It was a regional thing.

00:41:15.700 I don't know if it still exists. 0.93

00:41:17.080 Anyway, this pig looks like that restaurant's mascot.

00:41:21.540 This is literally a cartoon pig mascot

00:41:23.820 from a regional barbecue joint.

00:41:26.800 And that's what they're going with.

00:41:28.960 And by the way, how is this less offensive

00:41:31.040 than what they had before? 0.92

00:41:32.640 This is a pig in a kind of like vaguely military uniform 0.80

00:41:36.460 with a military title. 0.97

00:41:39.360 Somehow he's obtained the rank of Major.

00:41:41.300 We don't know how.

00:41:43.060 I'm not saying I'm offended by it,

00:41:44.480 but it's just like, isn't this more obnoxious

00:41:47.360 and crass than the Indian they had before? 1.00

00:41:51.540 Which is why I will continue to deadname

00:41:54.040 the Washington Redskins.

00:41:55.840 They will remain the Redskins to me.

00:41:58.000 I cannot be a party to this.

00:41:59.580 I cannot be a party to Major Tutty.

00:42:03.520 This is how it goes, right?

00:42:04.520 They get rid of something traditional,

00:42:06.000 something with meaning, 1.00

00:42:06.720 and they replace it with just the dumbest crap 1.00

00:42:09.700 you've ever seen. 1.00

00:42:10.860 They replace it with a dancing pig

00:42:12.780 in a military uniform.

00:42:14.540 That's the improvement.

00:42:15.880 That's progress.

00:42:17.660 Let's get to the comment section.

00:42:19.360 Daily cancellations are the law and order of the day.

00:42:24.780 We're the Sweet Baby Gang.

00:42:29.240 All right, well, hopefully you had a good Christmas break.

00:42:31.700 If you had a Christmas break at all,

00:42:33.220 I really enjoyed mine, I have to say.

00:42:34.800 We have the pregnancy card to play,

00:42:37.360 which meant that our family,

00:42:39.200 we didn't have to travel for the holidays.

00:42:40.660 Everyone had to come to us.

00:42:42.540 So we got to stay at home,

00:42:43.680 and that made things easier.

00:42:44.680 And we got about a half inch of snow here in Nashville.

00:42:48.660 It was like negative two degrees for a couple days.

00:42:51.260 And that wasn't going to stop us from going out

00:42:53.980 and doing some sledding.

00:42:54.960 And when I say us, I mean us,

00:42:56.840 because obviously I'm not sending my kids out alone.

00:43:00.320 As always, it's my deep and solemn responsibility as a father.

00:43:04.620 My kids know this at this point.

00:43:05.860 I got to do a safety check on all the sleds.

00:43:08.360 So I got to go out.

00:43:10.060 And this is just, it's one of those things you got to do as a dad.

00:43:12.260 And I had to sled down all the hills first

00:43:14.220 and all the different sleds

00:43:15.540 and keep doing periodic safety checks.

00:43:18.940 It's similar to the health checks that I do on Halloween candy.

00:43:25.520 You have to make sure that they're not poisoned or whatever.

00:43:27.620 So doing plenty of safety checks.

00:43:29.840 And that plenty of safety checks on my kids' toys they got for Christmas.

00:43:32.900 And I know we just talked about before the break

00:43:35.760 that, you know, adults need to grow up and stop playing with toys.

00:43:38.860 But this was different because I'm a father

00:43:41.020 and I have to make sure my kids are okay.

00:43:44.760 So for example, they got these hoverboard things.

00:43:49.360 They're not really hoverboards.

00:43:50.840 They're actually just like, they're like Segways,

00:43:53.000 but without handlebars.

00:43:54.160 So they got those and I was driving them around quite a bit all week,

00:43:59.200 continually checking to make sure that everything's okay,

00:44:01.520 making sure that everything's working fine,

00:44:04.000 that it's not going to explode when you step on it.

00:44:06.040 That's what I had to do.

00:44:07.400 And ironically, it turned out that the hoverboards

00:44:09.080 were extremely safe for my kids, but not for me.

00:44:11.840 Because I sustained probably three or four injuries,

00:44:14.820 serious ones, from playing on the hoverboards.

00:44:18.660 Not playing on them, checking them for safety.

00:44:21.160 Anyway, so for the comment section today,

00:44:22.580 it's been over a week since the last show.

00:44:24.520 And rather than pulling comments from that show,

00:44:26.760 because it's, you know, old news now,

00:44:29.420 I'll pull from one of the pieces of content

00:44:31.420 that we posted to YouTube during the break.

00:44:33.240 And this is the most important one, I think,

00:44:35.640 where I was forced to try vegan milk and cookies.

00:44:39.400 It was a vegan milk and cookie taste test.

00:44:41.740 And that video is up right now.

00:44:43.240 Again, very important content,

00:44:44.540 like everything we post on YouTube.

00:44:46.200 And so here's some comments from that,

00:44:47.500 because why not?

00:44:48.740 Sean says,

00:44:49.280 After trying the vegan milk and cookies,

00:44:51.180 Matt Walsh suddenly is unable to define what a woman is.

00:44:53.820 Merry Christmas, everybody.

00:44:55.700 Der Gepunkt says,

00:44:57.420 Der Gepunkt says,

00:45:00.960 Matt's new film is gonna be What is Milk?

00:45:03.000 Now, I don't need that film,

00:45:03.900 because that's an easy question to answer.

00:45:08.820 And as I explained in that video,

00:45:10.960 milk is something that is secreted from a mammal. 0.98

00:45:15.240 Okay, that's one of the most,

00:45:17.500 it's not the only thing that can be secreted,

00:45:19.120 but in order to be milk, to begin with,

00:45:21.940 it has to be a mammal secretion.

00:45:24.420 And I understand that, you know,

00:45:26.720 we might not like to think of it that way,

00:45:28.520 and you don't wanna see,

00:45:30.220 when you go to buy the 2% gallon of milk,

00:45:32.980 you know, at the grocery store,

00:45:34.120 you don't want it to say mammal secretion on it,

00:45:35.920 but that's what it is.

00:45:36.880 And my only point is that

00:45:37.940 when you hear about coconut milk or almond milk

00:45:41.140 or, you know, soy milk or whatever,

00:45:44.380 none of that is actually milk,

00:45:45.800 because by definition,

00:45:46.720 it was not secreted from a mammal.

00:45:49.360 As I explained,

00:45:50.460 that is not a mammal secretion,

00:45:51.740 that is nut juice,

00:45:52.700 that is juice from a nut.

00:45:54.200 And so you have nut juice versus mammal secretion.

00:45:57.780 Two completely different things.

00:46:01.120 Jorge says,

00:46:02.120 I'm not vegan,

00:46:02.920 but a friend once made vegan cookies,

00:46:04.620 and they were top three

00:46:05.540 best tasting chocolate chip cookies I ever ate.

00:46:09.020 Couldn't tell the difference,

00:46:09.940 and extremely chewy.

00:46:10.760 Well, that just tells me something,

00:46:13.320 Jorge,

00:46:13.580 about all the people

00:46:14.400 who are making you

00:46:15.240 regular chocolate chip cookies

00:46:16.520 up until that moment.

00:46:18.620 And that is a very sad life

00:46:20.320 that you've lived.

00:46:24.700 Erduck says,

00:46:25.520 almond milk is actually really good.

00:46:27.280 I grew up on whole milk only,

00:46:28.940 but got tired of my milk

00:46:29.980 going bad fairly fast.

00:46:31.820 Now I don't even think about it

00:46:33.120 when I drink it.

00:46:35.100 You know what?

00:46:35.980 If you want to claim

00:46:37.180 that you enjoy almond juice,

00:46:39.540 almond nut juice,

00:46:40.500 that's fine,

00:46:41.560 but just don't compare it

00:46:42.420 to this two completely different things.

00:46:43.760 That's my only point.

00:46:47.380 Kyle says,

00:46:48.140 why is it so entertaining

00:46:49.140 to watch Matt so miserable?

00:46:50.720 I don't know,

00:46:51.200 but people seem to enjoy it.

00:46:53.300 Krista says,

00:46:53.860 I feel like these bits

00:46:54.860 make up for all the times

00:46:55.980 Matt weasels his way

00:46:57.080 out of punishments

00:46:57.820 like interpretive dance

00:46:58.900 and watching anime.

00:47:00.220 Okay, first of all,

00:47:00.840 I didn't weasel my way

00:47:01.620 out of interpretive dance.

00:47:02.600 For the millionth time,

00:47:03.760 I actually did it,

00:47:04.640 and there's video evidence

00:47:05.440 of it.

00:47:06.040 And as far as anime,

00:47:07.460 I've already said,

00:47:08.900 I tried to get out

00:47:09.820 on a technicality,

00:47:11.120 and I believe in the letter

00:47:13.240 of the law

00:47:13.740 and the spirit of the law.

00:47:15.540 There's the letter

00:47:16.060 and the spirit,

00:47:17.380 and if I can get out

00:47:18.060 of something,

00:47:18.640 it's not really getting out of it,

00:47:19.700 but if the letter of the law

00:47:22.240 offers me an escape hatch,

00:47:23.600 I will take it.

00:47:25.480 Okay, I believe in this

00:47:26.340 across the board.

00:47:26.940 I believe in this

00:47:27.420 when you're like

00:47:27.840 paying your taxes.

00:47:30.080 It's like if the law

00:47:32.380 offers you a way

00:47:33.180 to pay less taxes,

00:47:33.980 take advantage of it.

00:47:34.740 Why shouldn't you?

00:47:37.740 But I have been informed

00:47:39.180 that my efforts

00:47:40.800 didn't even live up

00:47:44.300 to the letter of the law,

00:47:45.460 which means that I still

00:47:46.300 have to watch the anime,

00:47:47.220 and I will.

00:47:48.100 So you can stay tuned for that.

00:47:48.960 Today is January 3rd,

00:47:50.880 or as I like to call it,

00:47:51.820 the day where most

00:47:52.700 New Year's resolutions

00:47:53.520 come to a screeching halt.

00:47:54.960 Well, here's one resolution

00:47:55.960 you'll want to keep,

00:47:57.020 and that's subscribing

00:47:57.860 to Daily Wire Plus.

00:47:59.240 If you didn't take advantage

00:48:00.420 of our 30% off

00:48:01.400 holiday membership sale,

00:48:02.900 we've extended it

00:48:10.820 dailywire.com slash Walsh.

00:48:12.800 In some ways,

00:48:13.340 2022 was the definition

00:48:14.600 of success for me

00:48:15.660 as we talked about

00:48:16.160 to start the show.

00:48:16.820 My best-selling children's book,

00:48:18.360 Johnny the Walrus,

00:48:19.040 the triumphant reception

00:48:19.980 of my documentary,

00:48:21.000 What is Woman? 1.00

00:48:21.840 And our rally

00:48:22.420 to end child mutilation,

00:48:23.500 which put leftists

00:48:24.220 on notice everywhere

00:48:24.980 that we are united

00:48:25.900 against destructive

00:48:26.660 gender ideology. 0.99

00:48:27.900 But 2023 is going to be

00:48:29.180 even bigger for Daily Wire Plus.

00:48:30.680 You'll be seeing kids' content

00:48:31.800 that you'll actually

00:48:32.620 want your kids to watch.

00:48:33.840 The Pendragon cycle

00:48:34.680 will also get a release

00:48:35.500 later in the year,

00:48:36.320 and we'll continue to stand up

00:48:37.900 to leftist tyranny.

00:48:39.220 You're going to want to be

00:48:39.940 a part of all of this

00:48:40.780 and everything else

00:48:41.300 we've got coming up.

00:48:48.340 dailywire.com

00:48:49.160 slash walsh right now,

00:48:50.200 and let's get now

00:48:51.440 to our daily cancellation.

00:48:56.740 So one thing we know

00:48:57.740 about our friends

00:48:58.360 over at Reason,

00:48:59.400 which is the libertarian publication,

00:49:00.700 is that they are very concerned

00:49:02.240 about moral panics.

00:49:03.940 They want to make sure

00:49:04.440 that nobody is engaging

00:49:06.280 in a moral panic.

00:49:07.640 It's just that to them,

00:49:09.420 anyone who demonstrates

00:49:10.500 any moral concern

00:49:11.900 over any issue at all

00:49:13.540 is automatically guilty

00:49:15.560 of a moral panic.

00:49:16.980 It is impossible

00:49:17.880 to make a moral argument

00:49:19.280 of any kind

00:49:20.080 about anything

00:49:20.800 without being charged

00:49:21.960 with a moral panic

00:49:22.820 from people like this.

00:49:24.180 Unless you're having

00:49:24.860 a moral panic

00:49:25.640 about moral panics,

00:49:26.700 in which case,

00:49:27.560 it's not a moral panic.

00:49:29.160 So those are the rules.

00:49:30.280 They don't make any sense,

00:49:31.000 but those are the rules.

00:49:32.020 And that brings us

00:49:32.520 to an article published

00:49:33.260 by Reason

00:49:33.740 shortly before the new year,

00:49:35.200 written by Scott Shackford,

00:49:36.740 entitled,

00:49:38.180 The Fight Over Kids

00:49:39.220 at Drag Shows 0.99

00:49:39.980 is a classic moral panic.

00:49:42.480 Shackford writes,

00:49:43.180 quote,

00:49:43.740 Of course,

00:49:44.180 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis

00:49:45.240 and his administration

00:49:45.980 would contribute

00:49:46.420 to the latest

00:49:46.960 Christmas-themed targeting

00:49:48.180 of drag queens 0.57

00:49:48.940 as some existential threat.

00:49:51.040 The state's Department

00:49:53.420 of Business

00:49:53.960 and Professional Regulation

00:49:55.200 sent a letter Wednesday

00:49:56.680 to the Orlando Philharmonic

00:49:58.280 Plaza Foundation

00:49:59.140 in Orlando, Florida

00:50:00.260 because their venue

00:50:01.340 was hosting

00:50:01.800 a Drag Queen Christmas, 1.00

00:50:03.080 which is a touring

00:50:03.760 stage production

00:50:04.400 crossing the country

00:50:05.160 that's been around

00:50:05.940 for eight years.

00:50:06.940 The letter warns

00:50:07.620 that the venue

00:50:08.340 that they have reason

00:50:09.600 to believe

00:50:10.000 that this drag show

00:50:11.100 is of a sexual nature

00:50:12.380 involving the exposure

00:50:13.380 or exhibition

00:50:14.620 of sexual organs,

00:50:16.460 simulated sexual activity,

00:50:17.800 and or the sexualization

00:50:19.060 of children's stories.

00:50:21.020 Note that this letter

00:50:21.720 doesn't actually say

00:50:22.580 that there is any nudity

00:50:23.980 or simulated sexual activity

00:50:25.300 at the show.

00:50:26.280 Only the department

00:50:27.160 believes that there is.

00:50:28.700 They probably consulted

00:50:29.420 this Twitter thread

00:50:30.140 by Taylor Hanson

00:50:31.060 who provides images

00:50:31.880 and clips of the show

00:50:32.760 from its stop

00:50:33.520 in Austin, Texas.

00:50:35.040 A Drag Queen Christmas 1.00

00:50:36.160 is a pretty raunchy show

00:50:37.420 in the way

00:50:37.780 that's familiar

00:50:38.320 to anybody

00:50:38.780 who has watched

00:50:39.320 drag performances,

00:50:40.240 but the only nudity

00:50:41.520 found in Hanson's

00:50:42.480 clips and images

00:50:43.100 is a pair of 0.99

00:50:43.800 absolutely fake boobs 0.98

00:50:44.980 being worn 0.99

00:50:45.500 by a drag queen. 1.00

00:50:46.660 There's a lot of

00:50:47.240 overtly sexualized behavior

00:50:48.860 and gyrating

00:50:49.600 from people

00:50:50.060 who are not

00:50:50.760 actually naked

00:50:51.640 or having sex. 0.99

00:50:53.680 Ah, so you see, 0.99

00:50:55.540 Shackford is offering

00:50:56.360 important context here.

00:50:58.060 The male crossdresser 0.94

00:50:59.100 was only flaunting 0.94

00:50:59.980 prosthetic breasts 0.93

00:51:00.880 in front of small children, 1.00

00:51:01.900 not real ones.

00:51:03.420 And although there was

00:51:04.260 lots of sexualized behavior, 0.68

00:51:06.280 as he says,

00:51:06.920 none of the performers

00:51:08.220 were fully naked.

00:51:09.040 And besides,

00:51:09.720 they were only simulating 0.85

00:51:10.780 sex in front of children. 0.98

00:51:11.760 They weren't actually 0.75

00:51:12.320 having sex. 0.75

00:51:13.980 Now, how does this make 0.78

00:51:15.180 any of it okay?

00:51:17.380 Well, because Shackford

00:51:18.420 can compare this thing

00:51:19.780 to some other thing.

00:51:21.460 And we all know

00:51:22.380 if you can compare

00:51:23.240 one thing

00:51:23.940 to another thing,

00:51:24.840 then the thing

00:51:25.760 must be fine.

00:51:26.680 This is Internet

00:51:27.300 Debating 101 here.

00:51:28.620 Okay, he continues,

00:51:29.200 essentially this is a Madonna

00:51:31.140 concert circa her

00:51:32.160 Blonde Ambition

00:51:32.940 World Tour days.

00:51:34.000 Madonna, of course,

00:51:34.720 is famously beloved

00:51:35.620 by gay men

00:51:36.300 and drag queens 1.00

00:51:36.840 in particular

00:51:37.260 for her wild looks

00:51:38.520 and deliberately

00:51:39.060 sexualized persona.

00:51:40.700 She was threatened

00:51:41.240 with arrest in Toronto

00:51:42.240 back in 1990

00:51:43.260 for simulating masturbation 0.60

00:51:44.740 during her live performance 0.98

00:51:45.820 of Like a Virgin,

00:51:47.140 though police

00:51:47.680 eventually backed down.

00:51:49.080 There was a moral panic

00:51:50.180 then that children

00:51:50.920 exposed to Madonna's antics

00:51:52.260 were being sexualized

00:51:53.220 at a young age.

00:51:54.240 Funny how some things

00:51:55.280 don't change.

00:51:56.020 Now, there are so many 1.00

00:51:59.320 egregiously stupid arguments 1.00

00:52:01.260 in this piece 1.00

00:52:01.820 that I don't want to get

00:52:02.680 hung up on any one

00:52:03.880 of them for too long.

00:52:05.160 But I do need to take

00:52:06.260 a moment to let

00:52:06.880 this part absorb.

00:52:08.440 Because this is a classic

00:52:09.480 move of child sexualization

00:52:11.020 apologists,

00:52:11.680 otherwise known as groomers.

00:52:13.120 They love to point out

00:52:14.520 that kids in earlier decades

00:52:16.120 were exposed to

00:52:16.940 sexual content too.

00:52:18.780 And, well,

00:52:19.520 look how well

00:52:20.040 they turned out.

00:52:21.840 Except that the

00:52:22.740 astute observer

00:52:23.580 might note

00:52:24.260 that those kids

00:52:25.780 in fact

00:52:26.280 did not turn out well.

00:52:29.260 Indeed,

00:52:29.560 the people who were

00:52:30.240 having a moral panic

00:52:31.580 about Madonna

00:52:32.220 in the 80s and 90s

00:52:33.260 claiming that

00:52:34.280 the coarsening of culture,

00:52:35.480 the over-sexualization,

00:52:36.700 the profanity and debauchery

00:52:38.000 would put us

00:52:38.640 on a slippery slope

00:52:39.520 into full-on

00:52:40.140 cultural depravity. 0.79

00:52:41.740 They were 100% right.

00:52:44.700 They didn't even know

00:52:45.880 how right they were.

00:52:47.680 Even they couldn't imagine

00:52:48.740 that in another 30 years

00:52:50.120 there would be

00:52:50.500 family-friendly drag shows

00:52:52.120 with cross-dressing

00:52:53.020 half-naked men 1.00

00:52:54.460 simulating anal sex 1.00

00:52:55.720 in front of toddlers. 1.00

00:52:57.800 So critics

00:52:58.580 three decades ago,

00:52:59.500 they were not engaged

00:53:00.580 in a panic,

00:53:01.880 but rather were issuing

00:53:02.900 a prophetic warning

00:53:04.100 about the state of

00:53:05.220 and direction

00:53:05.720 of the culture.

00:53:07.320 A warning that

00:53:08.240 the Scott Shackfords

00:53:09.120 of the world

00:53:09.640 have always been

00:53:10.880 quick to blow off

00:53:11.640 because the Scott Shackfords

00:53:13.000 of the world

00:53:13.440 are always wrong

00:53:14.440 about everything.

00:53:15.780 Back to the article,

00:53:16.700 the wrong man writes,

00:53:18.020 quote,

00:53:18.780 if I had small children,

00:53:19.800 I probably would not

00:53:20.580 take them to this show.

00:53:21.740 But what's clear

00:53:22.360 from Hansen's clip

00:53:23.220 is that several parents

00:53:24.800 did voluntarily

00:53:25.760 and seemed to know

00:53:26.800 that this was going to happen.

00:53:28.420 It doesn't appear

00:53:29.060 that there's actual nudity

00:53:30.020 in the show

00:53:30.440 and the amount of sexualization

00:53:31.780 would put it

00:53:32.180 at maybe an R rating

00:53:33.300 if it were in a movie.

00:53:34.780 What we have here

00:53:35.740 is a lot of screaming

00:53:36.620 and politicization

00:53:37.420 about families

00:53:38.100 making entertainment decisions

00:53:39.560 other adults

00:53:40.280 do not like.

00:53:41.700 This is flat out

00:53:43.000 a moral panic.

00:53:44.500 And a few lines later

00:53:45.340 he continues,

00:53:46.280 but this is not

00:53:47.440 a moral panic,

00:53:48.160 some insist.

00:53:49.040 There is a limit

00:53:49.660 to the parents' rights argument

00:53:51.000 and this all crosses a line.

00:53:53.280 Parents should not be allowed 1.00

00:53:54.200 to take their kids

00:53:54.940 to live drag shows.

00:53:56.660 To that I say,

00:53:57.840 by looking at the behavior here

00:53:58.920 and the public response to it,

00:54:00.280 we can see that,

00:54:01.060 just as with Madonna,

00:54:02.540 this is a moral panic.

00:54:04.980 Well, at least we can all agree

00:54:06.060 that Scott,

00:54:06.640 whatever else you might say about him,

00:54:08.080 is a tremendous

00:54:09.020 and persuasive writer.

00:54:11.120 This is a moral panic.

00:54:12.560 Some people say

00:54:13.120 it's not a moral panic.

00:54:14.260 To that I say,

00:54:15.240 this is a moral panic.

00:54:17.520 Truly a compelling composition,

00:54:19.280 I have to say.

00:54:20.160 He concludes,

00:54:20.780 quote,

00:54:21.440 claiming that drag shows

00:54:22.460 are different

00:54:23.120 is a subjective evaluation

00:54:24.700 based on how a person feels

00:54:26.340 about exposure

00:54:27.020 to drag performances.

00:54:28.600 It's an attempt

00:54:29.120 to force one group

00:54:30.040 of people's parental choices

00:54:31.140 on the collective.

00:54:32.480 And the mindless tossing around

00:54:33.940 of the word groomer

00:54:34.800 is just an epithet

00:54:36.060 designed to shut down

00:54:37.160 opposition on the belief

00:54:38.240 that nobody wants

00:54:39.000 to be accused

00:54:39.480 of supporting child sexual abuse.

00:54:41.400 It's a reminder 0.92

00:54:41.960 of back during the 1970s

00:54:43.540 through the 1990s

00:54:44.340 when anybody

00:54:44.740 who was not heterosexual

00:54:45.900 was regularly accused

00:54:47.400 of trying to recruit kids.

00:54:49.280 Moral panics 0.98

00:54:49.820 about gay people

00:54:50.480 interacting with children

00:54:51.220 are hardly new.

00:54:52.480 We have laws

00:54:52.920 about minors and nudity

00:54:53.980 and sexually explicit

00:54:54.740 live performances

00:54:55.480 and we have parents

00:54:56.660 to make decisions

00:54:57.360 for stuff that falls

00:54:58.340 just on the legal side

00:54:59.480 of that line.

00:55:00.560 That's how it has been

00:55:01.400 for the longest of times

00:55:02.620 and drag queens 1.00

00:55:03.320 don't change that calculus.

00:55:05.240 If you don't want

00:55:05.900 your children

00:55:06.240 to see this stuff,

00:55:07.160 don't take them.

00:55:08.440 Leave everybody else alone.

00:55:11.140 So once again,

00:55:11.900 we have the historical comparison

00:55:13.340 that only helps

00:55:13.920 to validate

00:55:14.480 the very concerns

00:55:15.400 he's trying to dismiss

00:55:16.380 because he points out

00:55:17.860 that a few decades ago

00:55:18.840 some people were concerned

00:55:20.840 that the gay agenda 0.86

00:55:22.200 was recruiting kids. 0.97

00:55:24.820 Okay,

00:55:25.100 fast forward

00:55:25.580 to our current time

00:55:26.580 and we see

00:55:27.780 that LGBT identification

00:55:29.120 doubled

00:55:29.760 in the millennial generation

00:55:31.020 and then doubled again

00:55:32.700 for Gen Z.

00:55:34.720 So all of the evidence

00:55:35.960 strongly suggests

00:55:36.960 that the recruitment efforts

00:55:38.060 were not only real

00:55:39.180 but incredibly effective

00:55:40.580 and still ongoing.

00:55:41.760 So what is Shackford's

00:55:44.240 actual argument?

00:55:46.240 Well,

00:55:46.940 there really isn't anything

00:55:48.500 in this lengthy diatribe

00:55:50.040 that deserves to be dignified

00:55:51.080 with the label of argument

00:55:51.940 but the closest he gets

00:55:53.020 is when he points out repeatedly

00:55:54.600 that parents make the decision

00:55:56.640 to bring their kids

00:55:57.560 to drag shows.

00:55:58.300 It's an entertainment choice

00:56:00.100 as he says.

00:56:01.580 If you don't want your own kids

00:56:02.600 to be spectators 0.98

00:56:03.340 at a drag-themed sex show 0.76

00:56:04.680 then don't bring them. 0.94

00:56:06.500 Leave those other parents alone. 0.93

00:56:08.740 This is what passes

00:56:09.560 for an argument

00:56:10.180 among libertarians.

00:56:11.120 Simply pointing out

00:56:12.720 that something is a choice

00:56:14.180 is automatic justification

00:56:15.940 of the choice.

00:56:18.200 A choice is valid

00:56:19.360 because it was chosen.

00:56:22.160 They think.

00:56:23.580 But that is completely

00:56:24.600 incoherent, of course.

00:56:26.520 Yes, we all recognize

00:56:27.440 that some parents

00:56:29.200 choose to expose

00:56:30.360 their children

00:56:30.880 to this sort of sexual content.

00:56:32.580 Yes, that's established.

00:56:34.840 But the question is not about

00:56:36.480 whether it's a choice

00:56:37.680 but rather about

00:56:39.060 the nature of the choice.

00:56:41.120 And in this case

00:56:42.360 they are making the choice

00:56:43.860 to subject their children

00:56:45.920 to sexual grooming.

00:56:48.340 That is not a valid choice.

00:56:50.440 It's not a morally acceptable choice.

00:56:52.320 It should not be

00:56:52.940 a legally permissible choice.

00:56:55.340 And when it comes to drag shows

00:56:56.920 by the way

00:56:57.440 choice only works

00:56:59.400 as an excuse

00:57:00.260 if we're talking about

00:57:01.080 the choice

00:57:01.780 that adults make 0.82

00:57:03.240 to expose themselves

00:57:04.820 to such content.

00:57:05.860 Okay, so if we're talking

00:57:08.040 about adults

00:57:08.780 at a drag show

00:57:09.620 then it might be good enough

00:57:11.820 to just say

00:57:12.340 well, all the people here

00:57:13.160 chose to be here

00:57:13.820 and this is what they want to see.

00:57:16.880 Now, even that argument

00:57:18.000 is not decisive

00:57:18.800 I don't think.

00:57:20.220 Because just because

00:57:20.740 people choose to do something

00:57:21.820 doesn't make it automatically okay.

00:57:23.140 There's still a conversation

00:57:24.000 to be had.

00:57:24.640 But the point is

00:57:27.380 that here we're talking

00:57:28.500 about the choice

00:57:29.700 that adults make 0.82

00:57:31.940 to expose another party

00:57:33.940 another person

00:57:35.020 a child

00:57:35.700 to this content.

00:57:37.320 It is a choice

00:57:38.360 being made for

00:57:39.600 and on behalf of

00:57:41.060 somebody else.

00:57:43.460 And that someone else

00:57:44.400 cannot legally consent

00:57:45.560 to being involved

00:57:46.220 in this activity.

00:57:47.860 So this is not actually

00:57:49.160 a question of personal choice

00:57:50.480 at all.

00:57:51.060 The person at issue

00:57:53.280 the child

00:57:54.300 cannot choose.

00:57:56.880 The child therefore

00:57:57.780 does not choose

00:57:58.540 to be at the drag show.

00:58:00.320 So the drag show 0.99

00:58:01.280 is something that happens

00:58:02.040 to the child.

00:58:03.120 It's being done to him.

00:58:04.940 He is brought there

00:58:05.700 against his will.

00:58:06.940 He's exposed to these images

00:58:08.320 and ideas

00:58:08.840 against his will.

00:58:10.580 Because again

00:58:11.220 even if the child says

00:58:12.160 yeah I want to go

00:58:12.820 he is a child

00:58:14.340 he can't consent.

00:58:16.100 The question then

00:58:17.040 is whether parents

00:58:17.860 have the right

00:58:18.600 to do whatever

00:58:20.860 they want

00:58:21.360 to their kids.

00:58:22.780 And whether this right

00:58:24.000 supersedes

00:58:24.700 the child's right

00:58:25.460 to be protected

00:58:26.160 from harm. 1.00

00:58:28.360 And only a moral idiot 1.00

00:58:29.860 and a pervert 1.00

00:58:30.540 would answer yes

00:58:31.380 to a question like that.

00:58:33.620 Which explains

00:58:34.420 Scott Shackford's

00:58:35.380 position on the subject.

00:58:37.360 And that is why

00:58:37.940 he is

00:58:38.440 today

00:58:39.680 first one of the year

00:58:41.220 cancelled.

00:58:42.580 That'll do it

00:58:43.040 for this portion of the show

00:58:43.780 as we move over

00:58:44.180 to the members block.

00:58:44.840 Hope to see you there.

00:58:45.580 If not

00:58:45.980 talk to you tomorrow.

00:58:47.200 Godspeed.

00:58:47.540 Hope to see you here.
