The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1097 - Frankenstein Gender Surgeons Want To Implant Uteruses In Men

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, the Frankenstein doctors in the gender industry have announced

00:00:04.180 their next big plan, which is to implant uteruses into men so that men can have babies. 1.00

00:00:09.060 We'll talk about this grotesque story today.

00:00:11.380 Also, hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers marched on Washington as the media pretended

00:00:15.480 not to notice.

00:00:16.640 Canadian media profiles a man who claims to be devastated that he couldn't use a women's

00:00:21.020 only gym.

00:00:22.020 And The Washington Post worries about secondhand cake exposure, which is a thing now, apparently.

00:00:27.000 All of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:01:30.340 When I was away from work this past week after the birth of the twins, I did make the mistake

00:01:37.260 of checking on the news once or twice.

00:01:39.400 The very first thing I encountered when I briefly dipped my toe back into the news cycle

00:01:43.200 was this story from Fox News.

00:01:45.320 It's the kind of story seemingly designed to punish me for wanting to stay up on current

00:01:50.200 events in the first place.

00:01:51.540 Here's their report.

00:01:52.640 A Pittsburgh Children's Hospital is under fire after its gender program navigator advocated, 0.97

00:01:57.680 whatever that title is supposed to mean, gender program navigator advocated for helping 0.70

00:02:02.880 transgender women, quote unquote trans women, get pregnant by giving reproductive organs to 1.00

00:02:08.520 them from live donors.

00:02:09.840 In a presentation on fertility in the LGBTQIA plus community last May that went viral this

00:02:16.360 week, the community navigator for a youth gender program at the University of Pittsburgh

00:02:20.540 Children's Hospital discussed the criteria the medical community uses for gender transition

00:02:24.960 in adolescence, as well as a 2018 study on uterine transplants for transgender patients.

00:02:31.100 Simpson said that trans men assigned female at birth, quote unquote, would discuss the possibility

00:02:36.320 of giving their reproductive organs to trans females. 0.96

00:02:39.080 Simpson, who described coming out as transgender 30 years ago, said the research revealed a

00:02:43.280 majority of trans women, quote, would choose to have female physiological experiences such 0.99

00:02:47.460 as menstruation and pregnancy with the aid of a vaginal transplant and a uterine transplant.

00:02:53.400 Yeah, so the medical industry isn't pulling back from experimental gender reassignment surgeries, 0.95

00:02:59.280 no matter their sky high complication rates, no matter how many people have their lives ruined

00:03:03.760 and are forced to live with crushing regret in their mangled bodies forever, no matter any of

00:03:09.060 that, in fact, the industry instead is going to go the other way.

00:03:13.340 They're going to plunge forward.

00:03:15.540 These surgeries are already dangerous, experimental, horrific, and now they're searching for ways to

00:03:21.980 make them even more so on all three counts.

00:03:25.320 So here's the video of, we don't need to talk about it and describe it, you can just hear it for

00:03:29.420 yourself.

00:03:29.700 Here's the video of Alison Simpson explaining these, for now, theoretical procedures.

00:03:36.620 Listen.

00:03:37.560 One area that had not been looked at before in any serious way was, could the donors be live donors?

00:03:44.640 Because in the original study, the conclusion was that they would have to be cadaver-based donors

00:03:50.420 or from individuals who were no longer alive, right?

00:03:56.300 So live donation has been something the community has talked about for decades.

00:04:01.240 It was really seen as magical thinking.

00:04:06.880 This would be a live donation from a person who was assigned female at birth but identified

00:04:11.200 as a transgender man.

00:04:12.380 And they said, well, you know, I have these parts.

00:04:17.020 I don't want them.

00:04:17.980 You want them.

00:04:18.940 You need them.

00:04:19.820 So what if I gave them to you?

00:04:22.260 How would that work?

00:04:23.960 And apparently, based on their research, this is actually viable.

00:04:28.280 Anecdotally, many, but not all, transgender women, especially those who transition younger

00:04:34.140 in life, have expressed an interest in having children in a way that is congruent for their

00:04:39.840 own bodies.

00:04:40.320 But it was still surprising to see the data.

00:04:45.320 It was a fairly large study, as transgender studies go, 182 transgender women, 60% of which

00:04:52.560 were aged in the ideal 20 to 29 age range.

00:04:57.020 And most had no children.

00:04:59.300 94% indicated they had a desire for children.

00:05:02.960 Most of them reacted very favorably, something like 90 to 80% in favor of various aspects of

00:05:13.620 having a vaginal transplant, having a uterine transplant.

00:05:20.400 And in UTX, this would all be part of the same transplant.

00:05:24.960 The tissue would be preserved from the parts of the vagina all the way to the uterus. 1.00

00:05:31.760 Having menstruation, experiencing gestation and carrying a life inside them. 0.94

00:05:38.580 Oh, it's a life now.

00:05:43.020 Wow.

00:05:44.680 The baby is a life if the baby's purpose is to appease the depraved, fetishistic desires of 0.99

00:05:54.840 mentally ill men who wish to have periods and bear children.

00:05:59.340 This official at a children's hospital assures us that doctors can and should and eventually

00:06:07.600 will start literally harvesting parts from actual women and giving them to men, thus building a sort 0.75

00:06:14.140 of Frankenstein hybrid half-man, half-woman.

00:06:17.640 I mean, I wouldn't even want to watch a horror film with a plot line like that.

00:06:22.820 I would say if that plot line existed in a horror film, I would say it's like morally problematic

00:06:28.120 to even watch it as fiction because it's so disturbing and sick.

00:06:32.340 And yet these people want to do it in real life.

00:06:36.000 Now, let me make a few points about this.

00:06:39.220 First of all, if you're wondering why we still don't have a cure for cancer, it could be partly

00:06:45.000 because this is the sort of thing the medical field is focusing its energies on now.

00:06:49.020 Rather than figuring out better ways to treat and heal people who are physically sick,

00:06:53.780 hundreds of millions of dollars are being invested into turning men into women and women into men.

00:06:58.460 Now, you might point out that, well, the medical field can do both, right?

00:07:01.720 It can make Frankenstein monsters and it can try to cure cancer.

00:07:06.160 Well, yeah, theoretically, it can work on curing and treating diseases while also devoting time 0.99

00:07:11.680 to putting vaginas on men. 1.00

00:07:13.060 And that's true. 0.99

00:07:14.980 The problem is that these two projects are fundamentally at odds.

00:07:19.260 On the one hand, they're trying to make sick people better, while on the other hand,

00:07:23.760 they're exploiting sick people, mentally sick people in this case, and mangling their bodies 0.96

00:07:27.980 horrifically for profit.

00:07:30.500 The medical field can't decide whether the sick ought to be helped and treated or exploited

00:07:36.140 and butchered.

00:07:36.760 So they're sort of doing both.

00:07:37.820 But you can't really answer yes to both questions because this creates a disconnect, a conflict

00:07:43.560 of interest that catastrophically undermines the credibility and integrity of the entire

00:07:48.800 industry.

00:07:50.740 Second, a woman is not just a collection of parts that can be removed and reassembled like 1.00

00:07:55.920 a potato head doll.

00:07:56.880 This, of course, is the very reductive materialistic view that the left in general has of the human

00:08:03.380 person.

00:08:04.140 But it's not correct.

00:08:05.720 Along with being reductive and degrading, it's also just not correct.

00:08:10.200 Every part of a woman's body, every part is female, which means that every part is ordered 1.00

00:08:16.380 towards conceiving and bearing children.

00:08:19.120 A woman is not a man who happens to have a uterus.

00:08:24.200 She's a woman through and through.

00:08:25.520 Her entire body is designed to carry children. 0.91

00:08:28.680 A man's body is not.

00:08:30.340 I mean, for one thing, one example of many, a woman has a wider pelvis and a wider pelvic 1.00

00:08:35.300 cavity, which is what allows the child to pass through and be delivered.

00:08:39.080 OK, so if you if you want if you want a man to give birth, you're going to have to give 1.00

00:08:46.580 him not only a woman's vagina and uterus, but also her pelvis. 0.99

00:08:51.600 Or maybe you're going to break his and separate it and then like, in fact, you have to take every 0.97

00:08:57.440 part of her body, basically, and reassemble it on his.

00:09:01.840 And even then, it still wouldn't work, most likely.

00:09:04.200 And even if it could work, OK, let's say in some science fiction scenario, you could actually

00:09:09.740 harvest a woman's parts like she's an old Buick at a scrapyard and then use them to, 1.00

00:09:15.600 you know, to give men the capacity to emulate female reproduction. 0.99

00:09:20.140 You still would not have actually made the man into a woman. 0.81

00:09:25.400 OK, that is how not a woman a man is, that you could actually if even if you could turn 0.89

00:09:32.000 him into a glorified incubator, a Frankenstein monster, a freak of nature, a hideous abomination 0.68

00:09:39.720 like this, even if you did all that, he's certainly still not a woman. 0.93

00:09:44.780 In the same way, if it were theoretically possible to cut an eagle's wings off and attach them

00:09:50.000 to me, and if somehow I could even fly with the wings, I still wouldn't be an eagle.

00:09:56.380 And I wouldn't be closer to being an eagle.

00:09:59.260 Nobody would look at me and say, well, you're one step closer to being an eagle.

00:10:04.680 No, I'll never be an eagle.

00:10:07.160 In fact, with the wings, I would be just as far from being an eagle as I was before I had them.

00:10:14.280 But consider something else.

00:10:15.440 In order to go down this road and engage in this kind of human experimentation, you would

00:10:19.960 have to be willing to have many failed experiments and many failed attempts.

00:10:23.600 Experiments, you know, often fail many times before they succeed.

00:10:26.260 And in this case, a failed experiment would mean a dead baby.

00:10:32.800 The medical industry must be willing to kill countless babies, must be willing to experiment 0.72

00:10:37.560 with the lives of children in order to find some sort of way to satiate this psychotic 0.96

00:10:43.160 desire that some men have to menstruate and bear children. 0.85

00:10:46.140 You know, and I'm not surprised that the medical industry would be willing to do that.

00:10:51.180 After all, they don't recognize babies as humans to begin with.

00:10:55.240 This only goes to show the ultimate supremacy that has been granted to the desires of trans 1.00

00:11:01.240 people.

00:11:01.580 They will make blood sacrifices of children for the sake of those desires. 0.83

00:11:05.980 Finally, this all represents, once again, the commodification of the female body and the 1.00

00:11:12.540 male body, in fact, and in the most grotesque form we've yet seen. 0.95

00:11:18.220 It's something that I find especially appalling after having just a week ago witnessed, again,

00:11:22.660 the miracle of childbirth.

00:11:24.100 And anyone who's ever seen childbirth or gone through it, certainly, knows that it's miraculous,

00:11:29.020 it's incredible, it's a great blessing in many ways.

00:11:31.900 But it's also an enormous sacrifice because the woman gives her body to her unborn child. 0.99

00:11:37.260 She experiences the pain of childbirth for his sake.

00:11:41.760 It is a beautiful and loving sacrifice.

00:11:44.920 It's a sacrifice that keeps the human species alive.

00:11:47.300 It's a sacrifice that civilization depends on for its very existence.

00:11:51.320 And so it's just, it's all the more perverse and blasphemous that these men want to take the

00:11:59.800 selfless sacrifice of childbirth and turn it into a selfish exercise in self-fulfillment and

00:12:07.620 affirmation.

00:12:11.300 The trans movement dirties and sullies and warps everything it touches. 1.00

00:12:16.620 And now it seeks to get its dirty, filthy hands on one of the purest, most remarkable and wonderful 0.96

00:12:21.420 things in life, which is its beginning, its conception, its birth.

00:12:26.380 There is, in summation, nothing too sacred for these people to try to make profane.

00:12:36.100 Now let's get to our headlines.

00:12:43.380 In the not-too-distant past, private citizens used to be largely that, if you can imagine, private.

00:12:48.340 What changed?

00:12:49.020 Well, the internet changed.

00:12:50.020 Think about everything you've ever searched for, watched, tweeted on the internet.

00:12:53.160 Now imagine all of that data being crawled through, collected, aggregated by third parties

00:12:57.620 into permanent public record.

00:12:59.640 Well, to keep my data private, when I go online, I use ExpressVPN.

00:13:02.800 There are hundreds of data brokers out there whose sole business involves buying and selling

00:13:06.540 your data.

00:13:07.700 They don't even have to tell you who they're selling it to or get your consent.

00:13:10.820 One of these data points is your IP address.

00:13:13.340 Data harvesters use your IP to uniquely identify you and your physical location.

00:13:16.760 But you can mask your IP address with ExpressVPN.

00:13:19.540 ExpressVPN reroutes my connection to an encrypted server that makes it more difficult for third

00:13:23.460 parties to find me.

00:13:24.880 Sounds complicated, but really, you just have to open the app and tap one button or on whatever

00:13:28.980 device you're using.

00:13:43.780 From the Daily Wire, pro-life activists, students, and organizations will gather in

00:13:48.620 Washington, D.C. on Friday for the annual March for Life for the first time since the

00:13:52.560 Supreme Court's historic decision to strike down Roe v. Wade.

00:13:55.320 The gathering comes just days before the 50th anniversary of Roe in which the Supreme Court

00:13:58.580 declared a constitutional right to abortion.

00:14:00.860 With Roe gone, pro-life groups and legislators now see an opportunity to expand protections

00:14:04.020 for life even as deep blue states further entrench abortion in their own state laws and

00:14:08.320 constitutions.

00:14:08.900 So, the March for Life is happening today.

00:14:14.620 And I'm, of course, very glad that it's still happening even after Roe was overturned.

00:14:19.320 I knew that it would.

00:14:20.520 There's no reason for it to stop.

00:14:21.640 In fact, there's all the more reason to continue now with Roe gone.

00:14:26.880 It means that there's a real capacity to actually actively save babies in so many states,

00:14:35.660 which they're already doing.

00:14:36.500 I mentioned the March for Life because, first of all, the media doesn't.

00:14:41.300 The corporate media doesn't.

00:14:42.560 So, and it should be mentioned.

00:14:44.400 It is every single year.

00:14:46.360 It's the largest annual protest political demonstration in American history by far.

00:14:53.260 Like, nothing else even comes close.

00:14:55.340 And so, it is newsworthy for that reason every single year, although it's ignored every single

00:15:02.320 year.

00:15:02.540 But I also bring it up because the March for Life is another example of how the pro-life

00:15:11.220 movement, you know, succeeds and has been successful.

00:15:16.000 And how it should be a model for conservatives, for conservative activists who are, you know, focused on other issues.

00:15:26.560 It should be looking at the pro-life movement as a model rather than, as some conservatives

00:15:32.400 have done, trying to, like, blame them for things.

00:15:35.560 The pro-life movement has been out there for decades.

00:15:39.340 They've been in the trenches, saving babies, and having real successes.

00:15:47.480 Meanwhile, having to endure the finger-pointing from other conservatives and constantly getting blamed by

00:15:52.400 establishing Republicans.

00:15:53.600 And then, most recently, the midterm didn't go the way Republicans thought it would.

00:15:58.880 And so, then some Republicans are blaming pro-lifers, like, this is our fault.

00:16:03.380 Well, if you guys weren't so opposed to murdering children, maybe we would have been more successful

00:16:10.060 in the election.

00:16:11.920 Rather than blaming pro-lifers, how about looking to them as an example?

00:16:14.460 And one thing that pro-lifers are very good at doing, and that pretty much no other conservatives

00:16:24.020 are good about doing, is showing up in person.

00:16:28.580 Getting out there in person, mobilizing, making yourself seen.

00:16:36.320 Now, you're not going to have the media helping you out.

00:16:38.500 We know that for the left, if they've got, if 10 of them, you know, if 15 weirdos for the left

00:16:45.500 gather together, and they have bullhorns, and they're shouting about something, there's going

00:16:48.920 to be, you know, 70 news cameras there.

00:16:52.600 There's always going to be, like, you know, the ratio of news cameras to protesters on the left

00:16:59.420 is always quite extraordinary.

00:17:01.560 So, you're not going to have that.

00:17:02.660 You're not going to have the media's help.

00:17:04.020 That's fine.

00:17:04.600 But, the good news is that we need the corporate media less and less.

00:17:11.060 We can just circumvent them.

00:17:14.000 Keep in mind, the pro-life movement has been circumventing the media since before social

00:17:17.940 media and the internet were even a thing.

00:17:20.240 And now, with that tool, you especially don't need them.

00:17:23.440 So, they get out there, and they make themselves seen.

00:17:26.100 They mobilize in person.

00:17:28.320 And it has an effect.

00:17:29.720 It really matters.

00:17:30.560 It does, it sends a message to the culture.

00:17:34.720 It sends a message to the people that you're opposing.

00:17:38.960 But also, very importantly, it sends a message to people that are on your side.

00:17:42.640 It sends a message to those people that, hey, you're not alone.

00:17:46.040 Look, there are many of us out there.

00:17:48.800 We all feel this way.

00:17:51.000 Let's, you know, come together and achieve something.

00:17:54.440 So, it has a mobilizing effect for people that are on your side as well.

00:18:00.140 It's one of the principal reasons to have a political rally in the first place, is for that.

00:18:07.660 Now, you can always be dismissive of it.

00:18:09.520 And even now, there are conservatives that are dismissive of something like the March for Life.

00:18:12.660 And they say, well, yeah, you can march around with your sign that says, don't kill babies.

00:18:18.560 But no one's going to look at that sign and then say, well, because of that sign, I don't believe in abortion anymore.

00:18:23.000 Well, of course not.

00:18:23.520 That's not how it works.

00:18:26.180 But it's not intended to do that.

00:18:28.620 It's intended to do exactly what I just said.

00:18:33.620 And it's not just at the March for Life.

00:18:35.640 I mean, pro-lifers for decades have been mobilizing.

00:18:38.900 So, you know, you've got the national annual mobilization effort, the big thing, and that's great.

00:18:47.380 But then on a very local level, you have pro-life organizations, pro-life groups.

00:18:53.520 Both big and small, in cities all across the country that are out there.

00:18:59.620 You know, they're standing in front of abortion clinics.

00:19:01.840 They're praying in front of abortion clinics.

00:19:03.540 They're opening pregnancy centers.

00:19:05.140 I mean, they're getting mobilized and they're getting involved.

00:19:06.760 And this is what conservatives across the movement need to be doing, using pro-lifers as a model.

00:19:15.940 All right, here's the headline from Czech News in Canada.

00:19:19.040 I was extremely devastated.

00:19:22.260 Transgender woman told she is not allowed to use women-only gym in Parksville.

00:19:26.900 Says a transgender woman in Parksville is speaking out after she was allowed, she, quote,

00:19:31.980 was allowed to sign up for a women-only gym, then later told that she would only be allowed to access the co-ed gym

00:19:38.760 due to the fact that she is trans.

00:19:42.080 Now, there's this report here that I was going to read, but you know what?

00:19:44.080 I think it actually, it's, I think, more instructive to watch and listen to the report that this news outlet did

00:19:52.920 about this devastated trans person, this alleged lovely woman who just wants to go and exercise with all the other women. 0.95

00:20:04.020 Watch this.

00:20:05.740 28-year-old Bridget Klein-Simpson has identified as a woman for years and she wants to get into better shape,

00:20:11.180 so she went to the Body Works Gym for Women in Parksville for a membership.

00:20:15.340 Klein-Simpson says she was initially welcomed, but after one workout, she was informed she was not allowed at the women's only gym. 0.94

00:20:21.580 Saying, sorry, we made a mistake, you're not actually allowed to be here, but you're more than welcome to use the co-ed facility,

00:20:28.180 and I kind of just hung up because I was, I mean, I was extreme, extreme, devastated.

00:20:36.240 I mean, there's really no other word for it.

00:20:38.100 Klein-Simpson changed her gender and name legally close to two years ago,

00:20:41.780 and she's been on hormone replacement therapy for more than three years. 0.81

00:20:45.260 She says she wants to work out at a women's only gym where she will feel comfortable, 0.68

00:20:48.900 unlike her experiences at gyms while in university.

00:20:53.180 I didn't quite understand why that was, like, uncomfortable because I didn't know I was trans at the time.

00:20:57.880 I still thought I was a guy as well.

00:20:59.680 But it was just important to me to, like, be in a place that would be, like, explicitly accepting,

00:21:04.600 like, you know, you are a woman.

00:21:06.740 You can, you know, you're allowed to be here.

00:21:09.040 The gym's owner says members have a diversity of sexual identities,

00:21:13.020 but he believes Klein-Simpson would fit better at their co-ed gym, where there are gender-neutral change rooms.

00:21:19.820 Do we pick the comfort of the transgender person, and they may not be as comfortable at the co-ed gym,

00:21:26.080 but at least that's an alternative, or do we pick the comfort of the young girls that are working out there? 1.00

00:21:30.820 They may not feel comfortable.

00:21:32.520 I don't know if is that fair to them, and what would parents think?

00:21:35.480 What would you think if this is your daughter there?

00:21:36.980 Negra says he's open to ideas and options.

00:21:40.620 Klein-Simpson says she understands some may be uncomfortable with trans people.

00:21:45.320 I mean, all it takes is education.

00:21:46.940 I mean, you know, like, once you...

00:21:48.120 Okay, I just wanted to pause it.

00:21:53.260 So, we see this person here.

00:21:56.380 What's this person's name that they are claiming?

00:21:59.320 I don't know, I don't have it.

00:22:01.820 Okay.

00:22:02.180 Nobody on the planet Earth believes that that is a woman. 1.00

00:22:11.040 Not one person.

00:22:12.820 Okay?

00:22:14.540 This is the outrageous absurdity of all of this, that nobody looks at that and says that's a woman.

00:22:20.700 Not anyone.

00:22:22.200 No one.

00:22:25.040 Okay, the people at Media Matters who are watching this right now, they're going to clip everything I'm saying.

00:22:28.880 None of them believe that that's a woman either.

00:22:31.520 Nobody does.

00:22:34.620 And that includes this person, this dude.

00:22:37.920 He also doesn't believe it.

00:22:42.120 Now, he claims that he just...

00:22:43.880 As of two years ago...

00:22:45.800 Two years ago, I thought I was a dude.

00:22:48.100 I still thought I was a dude.

00:22:49.600 Well, yeah, you thought that.

00:22:51.620 You thought that correctly.

00:22:52.540 What changed your mind about that?

00:22:54.580 Tell us about this experience you had.

00:22:57.260 Was it like, were you walking down the road, road to Damascus?

00:23:01.640 You had some sort of blinding light revelation?

00:23:05.900 Where someone told you, oh, actually, it turns out you're a woman.

00:23:12.020 No, I'll tell you what the revelation was for this gentleman.

00:23:15.360 Is that he decided that it makes him...

00:23:20.480 He gets excited by being called a woman and being viewed that way.

00:23:26.960 Or having people pretend it anyway.

00:23:29.460 And he also was excited by the idea of going to a woman's gym and being around and looking at women in the locker room. 0.67

00:23:37.280 And so that was his big revelation.

00:23:38.840 But nobody thinks that's a woman. 1.00

00:23:44.740 By the way, no one also...

00:23:45.980 Also, nobody believes that he wants to go to the gym.

00:23:48.940 Okay?

00:23:49.360 No one believes that either.

00:23:50.560 Nobody believes any of this.

00:23:54.060 This is our...

00:23:54.900 The suspension of disbelief.

00:23:59.740 The cognitive dissonance that we're all required to display.

00:24:06.480 That's what it is.

00:24:07.400 Because we're all constantly given this incredible burden of the suspension of disbelief.

00:24:16.580 Being told to go along with things when everyone involved, like everyone in the room...

00:24:23.000 So you're being told to go along with something and to pretend that you believe something.

00:24:26.900 And meanwhile, everyone around you, everyone knows that it's not true.

00:24:30.020 Every single person.

00:24:31.320 Including the people telling you to believe it.

00:24:33.180 But I actually, you know, I appreciate stories like this.

00:24:40.220 And I appreciate this guy.

00:24:42.240 The service that he's providing.

00:24:43.720 Because this is so absurd.

00:24:49.080 Okay? 0.98

00:24:49.320 This is so ridiculous. 0.99

00:24:51.460 And laughable. 0.99

00:24:53.300 That it becomes a joke.

00:24:55.180 And people want to just laugh at it.

00:24:56.420 They want to laugh at this guy.

00:24:57.480 And that's exactly what you should do.

00:25:00.060 Okay?

00:25:01.840 The appropriate response to him and to his desire to go and work out with women and go to the women's locker room. 1.00

00:25:14.280 The appropriate response.

00:25:15.680 It's not compassion.

00:25:17.420 It's not pity.

00:25:19.220 It's not, I really feel sorry for him.

00:25:21.200 He's confused.

00:25:21.660 No, it is mockery.

00:25:24.460 That is the appropriate response.

00:25:28.580 Stop pretending to take it seriously.

00:25:31.400 He doesn't.

00:25:33.320 This is a game he wants you to play.

00:25:36.660 Because it makes him feel good when you play it.

00:25:40.600 And you should say not only no, but you should laugh in his face.

00:25:46.900 That's the correct response.

00:25:48.700 The morally correct response as well.

00:25:54.820 All right.

00:25:56.860 This is from the Daily Wire.

00:25:58.420 Oh, and by the way, one other thing.

00:25:59.760 So the gym guy, the guy that runs the gym.

00:26:03.660 And he brought up a point that, I brought this point many, many times.

00:26:10.620 And...

00:26:10.980 But I'm just...

00:26:12.620 I've been waiting for someone in his position to make the same point, which seems so obvious.

00:26:18.700 Which is that you're...

00:26:19.400 But he says it.

00:26:20.500 Well, I'm trying...

00:26:21.480 I have to weigh.

00:26:22.480 Okay, so I've got the feelings of this portly gentleman.

00:26:26.860 And then I've got the feelings of all the women at the gym who would be really uncomfortable with this guy standing naked around them.

00:26:36.800 So I've got all of their feelings.

00:26:39.280 And then I got his feelings.

00:26:40.900 Someone's got to win.

00:26:43.880 Someone's feelings have to win.

00:26:47.800 You know, it's a zero-sum game.

00:26:50.580 Like, someone wins.

00:26:52.720 These are mutually exclusive claims that are being made here.

00:26:56.200 Or demands, rather.

00:26:57.500 And so, are you going to say that...

00:27:01.880 Do the feelings of this one guy outweigh the feelings of everybody else?

00:27:08.360 And what the gym owner is saying is, no, they don't.

00:27:11.760 Of course they don't.

00:27:14.280 And you could come to that conclusion even if you, for some reason, felt you wanted to respect this person's self-identity.

00:27:20.740 Which you shouldn't.

00:27:21.420 All right.

00:27:24.860 Here's a report from Luke Rosiak over the Daily Wire.

00:27:27.720 A 14-year-old transgender runaway from Virginia endured a six-month nightmare that saw her twice fall into the hands of sex traffickers.

00:27:34.660 The second time after Baltimore bureaucrats refused to return her to her home state because they accused her adoptive parents of misgendering her.

00:27:43.640 According to records reviewed by the Daily Wire.

00:27:45.560 The child, identified in legal documents as Sage, was adopted by her biological grandmother, Michelle Blair, after the death of her father.

00:27:53.500 Long troubled, Sage began identifying as a male named Draco and ran away from their rural home in late August 2021, only to end up on the mean streets of Baltimore, where authorities rescued her from a convicted sex offender, according to records.

00:28:06.400 But, instead of returning the child to her grandmother, Maryland officials put her in an inner-city group home.

00:28:11.900 The reason, they thought her adoptive, blood-relative parents didn't seem to sufficiently recognize her transgender identity.

00:28:20.660 So, these bureaucrats decided that this young girl is better off in a group home in Baltimore City than with her grandmother.

00:28:32.120 Because her grandmother would commit the sin of recognizing her as a girl, rather than as a boy named Draco.

00:28:39.740 Judge Robert B. Kershaw said,

00:28:44.100 It's not possible to return the child to that home.

00:28:46.960 He said this after an impassioned plea from Baltimore Assistant Public Defender Anissa Khan.

00:28:51.420 Instead, the judge turned Sage over to the Baltimore City Department of Juvenile Services for placement in a hardware-secure therapeutic facility,

00:28:58.720 which makes reasonable accommodation for respondents' expressed male gender and desire to live as a trans male.

00:29:03.980 That meant housing the girl just rescued from a sex offender with some of Baltimore's most troubled biological males.

00:29:13.260 Oh, right, that's the other thing, too, is that they're recognizing that this girl is a boy.

00:29:17.480 You know, because you have a troubled, runaway girl whose father has died and who is not only trying to escape her where she lived physically,

00:29:33.360 but trying to escape her very identity.

00:29:35.240 And rather than giving her the therapy and counseling and the love and support that she obviously desperately needs,

00:29:44.020 because she is deeply confused, understandably so,

00:29:49.720 rather than give her that,

00:29:52.060 they're going to cooperate with the delusion, go along with it,

00:29:56.520 and in fact put her in a group home with a bunch of actual boys,

00:30:00.720 many of whom will be a threat to her physically.

00:30:06.080 After months in Maryland institutions,

00:30:07.860 Sage bolted only to resurface in Texas,

00:30:09.540 where she was once again being allegedly trafficked to pedophiles, according to records. 0.99

00:30:14.540 Unlike their counterparts in Maryland,

00:30:15.960 Lone Star officials returned her to her parents,

00:30:17.940 according to an ethics complaint Blair filed against Khan.

00:30:20.980 Khan allegedly told the girl to lie about being abused by her parents,

00:30:24.940 seemingly in order to create a legal precedent allowing states,

00:30:27.580 other than where a teen lives, to refuse to return a runaway teen if transgender issues are in play.

00:30:34.040 Just an amazing, this story goes on and there's much more detail.

00:30:38.040 I can't read the entire thing.

00:30:39.600 So we, you know, I'd be reading for another 10 minutes,

00:30:42.160 but I would definitely recommend you go to dailywire.com

00:30:44.740 and go to read Luke Rosiak's report.

00:30:47.940 This is another one of the really important investigative pieces

00:30:53.000 that The Daily Wire is publishing and it's important that you read it

00:30:58.140 because this is what's happening all across the country.

00:31:01.440 And there are so many cases of this.

00:31:04.660 And by the way,

00:31:06.000 it's not just runaway children

00:31:09.220 who are being taken from their legal parents

00:31:12.920 and legal custodians

00:31:14.260 because, you know,

00:31:15.680 the parent doesn't cooperate with a trans identity.

00:31:18.980 It's not just runaways that they're doing that with.

00:31:20.460 I mean, we're increasingly getting to a point

00:31:23.940 where they will just, like, come into your home and take your kid

00:31:26.240 if it is revealed,

00:31:28.940 maybe to a school counselor or whoever,

00:31:32.020 that you are trying to raise them as their biological sex 0.63

00:31:36.440 rather than their, you know, preferred gender.

00:31:40.500 And this is also why,

00:31:43.020 this is one of the reasons

00:31:45.540 why I said we should respond

00:31:48.400 that way to the guy at the gym

00:31:51.040 who wants to be recognized as a woman.

00:31:53.780 And you might think that the way that I say to handle that,

00:31:55.940 which is just a laugh in his face,

00:31:57.380 to not even take it seriously,

00:31:59.220 you might say that's harsh,

00:32:01.820 that's not fair,

00:32:02.640 it's whatever.

00:32:03.860 But this is why.

00:32:04.760 Because

00:32:08.080 it's not just adults we're talking about.

00:32:11.060 These are not just disputes over

00:32:12.760 locker rooms at gyms

00:32:16.220 and all the rest of it.

00:32:20.100 The kids' lives being destroyed,

00:32:21.640 these are families being ripped apart.

00:32:23.360 And the more seriously we take this stuff,

00:32:25.880 okay, if you treat

00:32:28.120 the gender ideology

00:32:29.500 and the claims made,

00:32:32.560 you know,

00:32:32.800 the philosophy of transgenderism,

00:32:36.660 if you treat it as anything other than

00:32:39.540 laughably, 0.97

00:32:42.020 hideously ridiculous, 0.94

00:32:43.400 if you treat it as anything other than that, 0.94

00:32:46.500 you are lending it credibility

00:32:48.420 and you are contributing to these kinds of cases.

00:32:53.180 Because this is where it leads.

00:32:54.380 All right.

00:32:57.000 Here's something a little bit,

00:32:58.100 a little bit more lighthearted.

00:33:00.700 Something that,

00:33:02.180 another thing,

00:33:02.640 I'm a few days behind on this,

00:33:03.780 I realize,

00:33:04.540 but I think it's important to cover

00:33:06.840 because I do give female comedians 1.00

00:33:09.600 a hard time.

00:33:11.060 And yet,

00:33:11.720 here's an example of one being funny,

00:33:15.280 you know,

00:33:15.480 actually being funny.

00:33:16.400 This did make me laugh.

00:33:18.180 But laughing at her entirely,

00:33:20.660 to be clear.

00:33:22.200 So here's Chelsea Handler

00:33:23.520 with a startling admission.

00:33:24.780 If you haven't heard this yet,

00:33:25.540 listen.

00:33:27.040 I didn't know,

00:33:28.260 and this is true,

00:33:29.940 I didn't know until I was 40 years old

00:33:31.640 that the sun and the moon

00:33:33.260 were not the same thing.

00:33:35.840 I find this hard to believe,

00:33:37.080 but what are you talking about?

00:33:38.080 I was shocking to me as well.

00:33:41.200 I mean...

00:33:41.900 Of course,

00:33:42.660 it wasn't even more shocking to you.

00:33:43.860 I was like,

00:33:44.580 I was in Africa,

00:33:45.720 we were on safari,

00:33:46.820 my sister and I were riding an elephant,

00:33:48.620 and there was a man riding an elephant

00:33:50.340 for us,

00:33:51.360 because we don't know

00:33:52.020 how to ride an elephant.

00:33:53.060 Yeah.

00:33:53.380 And my older sister Simone

00:33:54.500 looked up at the sky,

00:33:56.720 and she said,

00:33:57.140 Chelsea,

00:33:57.740 Chelsea, look up. 1.00

00:33:58.740 It's not often

00:33:59.540 you get to see the sun

00:34:00.980 and the moon

00:34:02.040 at the same time.

00:34:03.700 Yeah.

00:34:04.020 And I was like,

00:34:07.980 I was like Scooby-Doo.

00:34:09.440 I'm like,

00:34:09.680 what?

00:34:11.080 I said it,

00:34:11.820 I go,

00:34:12.080 wait,

00:34:12.480 I go,

00:34:12.740 but they're always together.

00:34:13.980 And as soon as I said that,

00:34:15.300 she turned around,

00:34:15.880 she goes,

00:34:16.060 what did you say?

00:34:16.640 And I was like,

00:34:16.940 oh, 0.99

00:34:17.040 shut up, 1.00

00:34:17.640 shut up, 1.00

00:34:18.020 shut up. 1.00

00:34:19.140 I'm like, 0.98

00:34:19.940 I knew what I said was wrong.

00:34:21.300 Giddy up,

00:34:21.720 elephant.

00:34:23.080 I was like,

00:34:23.620 let's canter,

00:34:24.320 is that what an elephant does?

00:34:25.560 Oh my God.

00:34:26.160 And she looked at me,

00:34:28.300 she goes,

00:34:28.620 I need you,

00:34:29.320 and I just tried to gloss over it.

00:34:30.740 I was like,

00:34:31.060 never mind what I said,

00:34:32.180 I know.

00:34:33.240 And she said,

00:34:33.820 no,

00:34:34.380 I need you to tell me

00:34:35.520 what you think

00:34:36.680 is happening

00:34:37.780 between the sun

00:34:38.900 and the moon.

00:34:41.660 And I was like,

00:34:42.540 honestly,

00:34:43.140 I just assumed

00:34:44.060 when the sun went down,

00:34:45.900 it popped back up

00:34:46.740 as the moon,

00:34:47.320 you know?

00:34:48.300 A little costume change.

00:34:50.940 Like,

00:34:51.400 is that not what's happening?

00:34:52.500 The man riding the elephant

00:34:53.500 spoke no English

00:34:54.420 and went,

00:34:54.880 and he's just like 1.00

00:34:57.800 another dumb American, 1.00

00:34:59.180 you know? 1.00

00:35:00.460 No,

00:35:00.700 no,

00:35:00.780 no,

00:35:00.940 hey,

00:35:01.180 hey,

00:35:01.540 don't put this on us. 1.00

00:35:02.920 Another dumb American? 1.00

00:35:05.020 You're the only American 1.00

00:35:06.160 in the country

00:35:07.500 who thinks that.

00:35:08.340 So don't try to blame

00:35:09.420 the rest of this.

00:35:09.980 But think about how,

00:35:12.440 and she's trying to pass it off

00:35:13.400 as like this silly little anecdote 0.66

00:35:14.820 and, 0.65

00:35:15.400 you know,

00:35:15.640 there are things,

00:35:18.680 maybe we've all had experiences

00:35:19.700 of some little minute thing

00:35:22.520 that you didn't,

00:35:23.500 you know,

00:35:23.860 like you didn't realize

00:35:25.020 and then you learned

00:35:26.400 later in life

00:35:28.220 because nobody told you.

00:35:29.380 I don't know.

00:35:29.700 I'm sure people can come up

00:35:30.580 with examples like that. 1.00

00:35:33.080 But think about how stupid 1.00

00:35:34.500 you have to be. 1.00

00:35:36.600 I mean, 1.00

00:35:36.820 it's incomprehensibly stupid 0.99

00:35:39.100 to think that the sun 0.99

00:35:41.100 and the moon are the same thing.

00:35:42.560 My three-year-old daughter

00:35:43.980 knows that that's not the case.

00:35:46.140 She understands

00:35:46.820 that they're two different entities.

00:35:48.500 I mean,

00:35:48.600 I know a lot else about them,

00:35:49.620 but she knows that at least. 1.00

00:35:50.360 So the level of stupidity, 1.00

00:35:55.660 I mean, 1.00

00:35:56.100 how do you,

00:35:56.820 how does she breathe? 0.99

00:35:57.940 I mean,

00:35:58.540 how does she walk? 1.00

00:36:00.340 Can she tie her own shoes? 1.00

00:36:01.660 These are all live questions now

00:36:03.240 that we need answers to.

00:36:05.100 How do you function in society?

00:36:07.020 How is it that you've never,

00:36:08.540 like,

00:36:09.660 there are some things that

00:36:10.780 even if you're not taught directly,

00:36:12.700 you'll just,

00:36:13.160 you encounter,

00:36:14.360 there's realities

00:36:14.980 that you encounter in life.

00:36:17.140 How do you avoid that one?

00:36:18.240 but

00:36:20.160 this is also,

00:36:22.500 I didn't look it up,

00:36:23.540 but Chelsea Handler,

00:36:24.720 I'm assuming,

00:36:25.920 at least graduated high school.

00:36:28.140 So,

00:36:29.140 this is the,

00:36:30.000 this is the modern education system

00:36:32.900 for you.

00:36:33.740 That it's possible

00:36:34.700 in the modern education system

00:36:35.520 for someone to graduate,

00:36:36.920 to go through the education system

00:36:38.000 and to come out on the other end

00:36:39.540 not knowing

00:36:40.840 that the moon and the sun

00:36:42.420 are two different celestial entities.

00:36:46.680 All right,

00:36:47.220 one other quick thing

00:36:47.940 which is also very important.

00:36:50.700 Washington Post,

00:36:51.940 bringing cake into the office

00:36:53.820 to share with colleagues

00:36:54.880 is seen by many

00:36:55.680 as an innocent way

00:36:56.440 to celebrate a birthday,

00:36:57.680 share good news,

00:36:58.440 or even showcase

00:36:59.200 one's baking skills.

00:37:00.640 But the top official

00:37:01.300 at Britain's Food Regulator,

00:37:02.860 speaking in his personal capacity,

00:37:04.660 has suggested

00:37:05.320 that it could be as harmful

00:37:06.360 as secondhand smoke.

00:37:08.440 Professor Susan Jebb says,

00:37:10.900 if nobody brought in cakes

00:37:11.880 into the office,

00:37:12.560 I would not eat cakes in a day,

00:37:13.980 but because people

00:37:14.560 do bring cakes in,

00:37:15.820 I eat them.

00:37:16.400 Oh,

00:37:20.260 this,

00:37:20.700 we needed the professor.

00:37:21.640 It's a professor.

00:37:22.380 We need the analysis

00:37:24.660 from the professor

00:37:25.560 to tell us that.

00:37:26.900 If there were no cakes,

00:37:28.460 I wouldn't eat a cake.

00:37:30.220 But there is a cake,

00:37:31.780 so I ate the cake.

00:37:34.980 There you go,

00:37:35.720 students.

00:37:37.000 Now give me

00:37:37.620 $100,000

00:37:38.660 for your tuition.

00:37:41.000 You know,

00:37:41.200 there is also

00:37:41.580 the other option,

00:37:42.260 though.

00:37:42.380 It's like,

00:37:42.920 no,

00:37:43.800 I admit,

00:37:44.420 that's how the equation

00:37:45.380 works for me also.

00:37:47.720 Any kind,

00:37:48.260 it really works that way

00:37:48.840 for any kind of dessert pastry.

00:37:50.260 It's like,

00:37:50.800 if it's not there,

00:37:51.520 I won't eat it.

00:37:52.620 If it is there,

00:37:53.280 I will eat it.

00:37:54.040 And like,

00:37:54.560 that's all the calculation

00:37:56.240 I need to make.

00:37:56.680 But there is a third option,

00:37:58.220 which is that it could be there

00:37:59.120 and not eat it.

00:38:00.020 That you could really do that.

00:38:02.020 That's physically,

00:38:02.600 it is physically possible.

00:38:03.500 And then it says,

00:38:06.280 we all think we're rational,

00:38:07.480 intelligent,

00:38:07.980 educated people

00:38:08.560 who make informed choices

00:38:09.580 the whole time,

00:38:10.420 and we undervalue

00:38:11.240 the impact

00:38:12.060 of the environment.

00:38:15.220 Okay,

00:38:15.700 so I get what they're going for.

00:38:16.900 So that's,

00:38:17.520 so this is what they mean by,

00:38:18.560 so,

00:38:19.020 you know,

00:38:19.540 you can,

00:38:20.060 you can basically,

00:38:21.740 secondhand cake

00:38:22.900 is a danger

00:38:23.640 we have to work out,

00:38:24.500 look out for.

00:38:25.240 And you don't ingest it

00:38:26.380 the same way

00:38:26.980 you would just

00:38:27.460 secondhand smoke.

00:38:28.740 But it's,

00:38:29.620 if you're in,

00:38:30.440 if it's in the environment,

00:38:31.720 like if smoke

00:38:32.460 is in the environment,

00:38:33.020 you inhale it

00:38:34.020 and they say

00:38:34.720 it's dangerous to you.

00:38:35.720 Well,

00:38:35.920 if cake is in your environment,

00:38:37.520 then because you have

00:38:38.900 no willpower,

00:38:39.760 she's assuming

00:38:40.360 you will inhale

00:38:41.980 that as well.

00:38:43.760 I have to say,

00:38:44.640 I don't like the reasoning,

00:38:45.740 but I am on board though

00:38:46.960 with,

00:38:47.520 with the war on cake.

00:38:49.460 And this is actually

00:38:50.000 why I brought it up.

00:38:51.040 I'm on board with it,

00:38:52.420 for it.

00:38:53.020 I agree,

00:38:53.680 you shouldn't bring cake

00:38:54.360 into the workplace.

00:38:56.160 I agree that cake

00:38:57.840 should not be

00:38:58.460 the default celebratory dessert

00:39:00.300 because it should be pie.

00:39:02.480 And I've been saying

00:39:03.660 this for so long.

00:39:05.520 I think it's,

00:39:06.400 to my mind,

00:39:07.440 it's one of the most

00:39:08.080 important campaigns

00:39:10.040 that I've embarked on.

00:39:11.720 And I'm 100% right,

00:39:13.880 and everybody knows it,

00:39:15.220 that we all,

00:39:16.280 we all just go along

00:39:17.520 with cake.

00:39:18.020 Yeah,

00:39:18.500 look,

00:39:18.620 again,

00:39:19.760 if cake is there

00:39:20.780 and there's nothing else

00:39:21.720 and there are no other

00:39:22.540 dessert options,

00:39:23.480 I'll eat the cake

00:39:24.220 because what am I going to do?

00:39:24.960 Not eat the cake

00:39:25.560 when it's there?

00:39:26.680 I'm not crazy.

00:39:28.200 But if there are

00:39:29.680 other options,

00:39:30.160 I'm going to the other options

00:39:30.980 like most people would.

00:39:33.300 Cake,

00:39:33.480 there's no reason

00:39:34.020 why cake should be,

00:39:35.100 well,

00:39:35.260 it's a birthday,

00:39:35.720 you bring a cake.

00:39:36.160 If there's something

00:39:36.440 to celebrate,

00:39:36.820 it's an anniversary,

00:39:37.400 a wedding,

00:39:37.760 bring a cake.

00:39:38.280 There's no reason for this.

00:39:39.980 There are better

00:39:40.840 dessert dishes

00:39:41.640 that are more widely loved

00:39:44.000 and more consistently good.

00:39:45.660 That's the other problem

00:39:46.140 with cake

00:39:46.640 is that there's a,

00:39:48.680 there's a,

00:39:49.180 with cake quality,

00:39:51.000 there's a wide spectrum.

00:39:52.660 And there are some cakes

00:39:53.960 that are just plain terrible.

00:39:56.880 But even cake

00:39:57.920 at its very best,

00:40:00.040 cake at its best

00:40:01.080 does not hold a candle

00:40:02.440 to a mediocre pie

00:40:04.300 or a mediocre brownie

00:40:06.300 or a mediocre

00:40:07.080 homemade chocolate chip cookie.

00:40:10.540 And then what about

00:40:11.340 its worst?

00:40:11.760 Like what's the worst

00:40:12.760 homemade chocolate chip cookie

00:40:14.100 you've ever had in your life?

00:40:16.180 You can't remember an occasion

00:40:18.300 because like they're always good.

00:40:19.860 It's,

00:40:20.080 they're not ever bad.

00:40:20.980 A homemade brownie,

00:40:22.540 always good.

00:40:24.300 Pies,

00:40:24.920 you,

00:40:25.060 most pies are just good.

00:40:26.880 Even if you buy,

00:40:27.380 you can pick up a pie,

00:40:28.600 a pre-made pie

00:40:29.360 from the grocery store.

00:40:30.060 It's gonna be pretty good.

00:40:32.400 Yeah,

00:40:32.600 you can remember times

00:40:33.380 in your life

00:40:33.660 when you had cake

00:40:34.380 that was plain terrible.

00:40:37.960 And yet we all live

00:40:39.060 under this tyranny of cake.

00:40:40.520 It doesn't make any sense.

00:40:42.940 Let's free ourselves of it.

00:40:45.220 Should be pie.

00:40:46.460 Celebrate,

00:40:46.900 celebrating a birthday,

00:40:48.320 bring out the pie.

00:40:48.900 Wedding,

00:40:51.120 there's no reason

00:40:51.520 why you can't have pie.

00:40:54.300 All right.

00:40:55.180 Glad we could talk about this.

00:40:56.780 Time for the comment section.

00:40:58.460 Who saved Virginia

00:40:59.660 after leaving there

00:41:00.960 just for a day?

00:41:04.120 There's someone to thank.

00:41:07.240 He leads the sweet baby gang.

00:41:09.140 JB Amazing says,

00:41:13.360 when Matt celebrated

00:41:14.060 his new twins,

00:41:14.860 people on social media

00:41:15.500 got very mad at the fact

00:41:16.500 that Matt has a better life

00:41:17.740 than them,

00:41:18.480 yet they'll never put in the work

00:41:19.640 to have a life like Matt.

00:41:21.880 Well, that's true,

00:41:22.560 but it's not just,

00:41:23.420 it's like,

00:41:23.760 there's nothing

00:41:24.680 unattainably,

00:41:27.840 you know,

00:41:28.960 incredible

00:41:29.540 about my life.

00:41:31.460 I mean,

00:41:31.620 there are things in my life

00:41:32.380 that I find incredible

00:41:33.500 and great,

00:41:34.060 like my family

00:41:35.660 that I love.

00:41:36.080 But the point is

00:41:36.980 that these are normal things

00:41:39.060 that people can have.

00:41:40.820 It's not like I've achieved

00:41:41.960 some crazy,

00:41:43.480 incredible thing.

00:41:45.900 But,

00:41:46.260 so this is anyone.

00:41:47.780 Like if you have

00:41:48.920 just a good life,

00:41:52.280 no one's life is perfect,

00:41:53.520 but it is possible

00:41:54.160 to have a good life.

00:41:56.300 And what does a good life

00:41:57.220 consist of?

00:41:57.980 All that means

00:41:58.620 is that you have,

00:41:59.600 that you,

00:42:00.260 you know,

00:42:00.620 you have people

00:42:01.080 that you love around you,

00:42:02.720 people that you're caring for

00:42:04.420 and that you love,

00:42:05.140 that you have a family,

00:42:07.180 that you have

00:42:07.680 that companionship as well,

00:42:10.480 that you're doing something

00:42:11.540 in your life

00:42:12.280 that you care about.

00:42:12.980 Like,

00:42:13.080 that's just what a good life is.

00:42:15.640 And if that's the kind of life

00:42:16.920 you live,

00:42:17.680 then as we talked about yesterday,

00:42:19.220 you will be hated automatically

00:42:21.080 by all the many people

00:42:22.500 who are not living

00:42:23.160 the good life.

00:42:25.080 And one of the reasons

00:42:26.780 why they're not living

00:42:27.440 the good life

00:42:27.900 is that,

00:42:28.360 you know,

00:42:28.580 they have no concept

00:42:30.800 of what that even would be.

00:42:31.940 Or they've convinced themselves

00:42:35.420 that there is no such thing

00:42:37.000 as a good life.

00:42:38.060 There is no such thing

00:42:38.920 as a life

00:42:39.300 that has any sort of fulfillment

00:42:40.180 or happiness.

00:42:40.900 They've never felt it

00:42:41.880 and so they've convinced them

00:42:42.760 that they've told themselves

00:42:43.680 and made themselves

00:42:44.100 feel better about it

00:42:45.020 that,

00:42:45.680 well,

00:42:45.760 it must not be possible.

00:42:46.820 That must not be

00:42:47.380 on the menu of options,

00:42:49.100 right?

00:42:49.920 And then they see you

00:42:50.940 come along

00:42:51.580 living your good life

00:42:52.780 and you're content

00:42:53.400 in your life

00:42:53.820 and it interferes

00:42:55.800 with this narrative

00:42:56.860 that they told themselves

00:42:57.640 and they get very angry.

00:42:58.400 Shaggy says,

00:43:02.160 what happened to

00:43:02.760 we just want to exist

00:43:03.800 and be left alone?

00:43:04.800 Now it turned into

00:43:05.520 you better show pride for us

00:43:06.840 or we will destroy

00:43:07.520 your livelihood.

00:43:08.180 This is absolutely atrocious.

00:43:09.780 This will only get worse

00:43:10.840 before it gets better.

00:43:11.680 Well,

00:43:11.800 I'll tell you what happened

00:43:12.400 to we just want to exist

00:43:13.240 and be left alone

00:43:13.960 is that that never existed,

00:43:15.560 right?

00:43:16.160 That was always a game.

00:43:17.940 That was always an illusion,

00:43:20.060 okay?

00:43:20.320 That's all that ever was.

00:43:22.180 Like a,

00:43:22.600 that,

00:43:23.680 you know,

00:43:23.980 as I always said,

00:43:24.700 that was a sleight of hand trick,

00:43:26.980 okay?

00:43:27.240 It wasn't,

00:43:28.100 it wasn't actually real,

00:43:29.620 those claims that you heard.

00:43:31.820 Now,

00:43:32.300 you heard people say that,

00:43:34.100 ah,

00:43:34.280 just leave us alone. 0.76

00:43:36.460 But that was never the intention,

00:43:38.100 that was never the agenda.

00:43:40.260 Remember what we talked about,

00:43:42.060 it's,

00:43:42.420 uh,

00:43:43.400 tolerate,

00:43:44.540 then celebrate,

00:43:45.740 then participate.

00:43:47.360 That is always how it goes.

00:43:50.780 Christopher says,

00:43:51.640 calling hockey soccer on ice

00:43:53.580 is literally the most offensive thing

00:43:55.460 Matt Walsh

00:43:56.700 has ever said.

00:43:58.460 Well,

00:43:58.940 the truth can be upsetting sometimes.

00:44:00.660 I understand that,

00:44:01.220 Christopher.

00:44:02.380 Although,

00:44:02.700 the more that I think about it,

00:44:04.240 I guess,

00:44:04.560 yeah,

00:44:04.720 hockey isn't exactly

00:44:05.720 soccer on ice.

00:44:07.140 And,

00:44:07.540 uh,

00:44:07.720 now I'm thinking,

00:44:08.540 why doesn't that exist?

00:44:09.420 I,

00:44:09.620 I would,

00:44:10.280 that's something I would watch.

00:44:11.880 Okay,

00:44:12.140 I'm not,

00:44:12.500 I'm not into soccer at all.

00:44:13.580 I'm not really into hockey.

00:44:15.780 Combine,

00:44:16.320 if you really combine the two

00:44:17.480 and had soccer on ice,

00:44:18.740 which is people

00:44:19.360 that,

00:44:20.320 not with skates,

00:44:21.100 running on ice,

00:44:22.640 trying to kick the soccer ball,

00:44:23.720 that sounds like the kind of thing

00:44:25.580 I'd enjoy watching.

00:44:29.260 Amy says,

00:44:30.160 I think the internet actually shows

00:44:31.760 a clearer picture

00:44:32.560 of who a person is.

00:44:33.600 You know,

00:44:34.000 the saying that you can tell

00:44:35.000 who a person is

00:44:35.580 based on how they behave

00:44:36.520 when nobody is looking.

00:44:37.660 The internet allows people

00:44:38.420 to hide behind a screen

00:44:39.300 and act out as if nobody can see them.

00:44:41.160 Now we're seeing the real you.

00:44:42.460 I couldn't agree more.

00:44:43.280 I mean,

00:44:43.640 I 100% agree with you,

00:44:45.340 um,

00:44:45.720 which is why when people say

00:44:46.620 the internet isn't real life

00:44:47.760 and the things people say

00:44:48.840 to the internet,

00:44:49.280 well,

00:44:49.420 it's not real life.

00:44:50.160 They're not,

00:44:50.900 it's the opposite

00:44:52.160 is the truth.

00:44:53.120 It's like,

00:44:53.500 not only is it real life,

00:44:55.140 but in the way

00:44:56.780 that it reflects

00:44:57.500 a person's character,

00:44:58.480 it's more real

00:44:59.680 than oftentimes

00:45:02.120 what you see in person.

00:45:04.760 So yeah,

00:45:05.320 the kind of person,

00:45:06.200 for example,

00:45:07.060 the standard internet troll

00:45:08.620 who, 0.90

00:45:09.080 uh,

00:45:10.240 you know,

00:45:10.700 you say an opinion

00:45:13.060 that they don't agree with

00:45:14.560 and that has nothing

00:45:15.300 to do with them

00:45:15.980 and then they come

00:45:17.460 to your YouTube channel

00:45:18.400 or your Twitter page

00:45:19.060 or Facebook or whatever

00:45:19.820 and they tell you 1.00

00:45:20.340 to kill yourself 1.00

00:45:21.100 because of it. 1.00

00:45:22.280 Okay,

00:45:22.420 that kind of person.

00:45:24.120 It's true that that,

00:45:25.240 if you met that person

00:45:26.200 in person,

00:45:27.020 if you were like

00:45:28.120 in the grocery store

00:45:29.080 at,

00:45:29.420 in the checkout line

00:45:30.320 and this person

00:45:31.540 overheard a conversation

00:45:32.280 you're having

00:45:32.500 with somebody else

00:45:32.900 and they didn't agree

00:45:34.100 with what you were saying,

00:45:34.920 they would not turn around

00:45:35.920 and say, 1.00

00:45:36.140 why don't you kill yourself? 1.00

00:45:37.600 They wouldn't do that. 1.00

00:45:38.580 They would never,

00:45:39.720 ever do that in person.

00:45:43.640 So,

00:45:44.200 but then they say it online.

00:45:45.420 So the question is,

00:45:46.360 what's the,

00:45:46.880 what's the more real version

00:45:48.560 of them?

00:45:50.380 Okay,

00:45:50.920 what is more reflective

00:45:52.360 of who they really are?

00:45:55.160 And I would say

00:45:55.960 it's clearly

00:45:57.460 on the internet

00:45:57.980 when they're saying

00:45:58.780 the things that

00:45:59.600 they won't say elsewhere

00:46:01.980 because they're afraid to,

00:46:03.640 because they're,

00:46:04.640 you know,

00:46:04.840 it would be too socially awkward,

00:46:06.600 whatever,

00:46:07.020 because they're afraid

00:46:07.540 of getting punched

00:46:08.240 in the mouth.

00:46:13.160 So,

00:46:13.740 yeah,

00:46:13.920 I couldn't agree more.

00:46:14.660 Finally, 0.82

00:46:16.760 your mother was a hamster, 1.00

00:46:18.620 says,

00:46:19.660 great username,

00:46:20.920 dear Candace,

00:46:21.540 the magic of the sweet baby gang

00:46:22.880 cannot be astroturfed.

00:46:25.700 And you're,

00:46:27.080 once again,

00:46:28.000 it's all agreement

00:46:29.180 and kumbaya

00:46:30.220 in the comment section today

00:46:31.500 because you couldn't be

00:46:32.320 more right either.

00:46:33.600 That's,

00:46:33.920 that's what it comes down to.

00:46:34.880 You can't,

00:46:35.340 this is not something

00:46:36.420 that as much as Candace

00:46:37.780 wants to,

00:46:38.620 wants to

00:46:39.280 conjure

00:46:41.100 this magic,

00:46:42.380 you can't do it.

00:46:43.600 That's why,

00:46:43.980 look,

00:46:44.800 if I had decided

00:46:46.080 before the sweet baby gang existed

00:46:48.180 that I wanted to have

00:46:49.600 my own,

00:46:50.220 you know,

00:46:51.040 gang

00:46:51.480 and I'd gone to Twitter

00:46:53.160 like she did

00:46:53.720 to solicit suggestions,

00:46:55.680 nobody would have said,

00:46:56.760 oh,

00:46:56.840 we should call ourselves

00:46:57.500 the sweet baby gang.

00:46:58.920 We should have a slogan

00:46:59.960 with a bearded baby

00:47:01.820 with a diaper.

00:47:03.220 Nobody would have said that.

00:47:04.660 These are the things

00:47:05.500 that can only come up

00:47:06.460 organically in the moment.

00:47:07.780 That's how you know

00:47:08.460 that they're really magical.

00:47:11.320 Jeremy's Razors

00:47:11.900 is offering a big

00:47:12.940 discount right now,

00:47:14.200 40% off

00:47:15.020 all Razor subscriptions.

00:47:16.440 Why?

00:47:16.900 Well,

00:47:17.080 I'm glad you asked.

00:47:17.640 One year ago,

00:47:18.180 Joe Biden tried

00:47:18.800 to force vaccines

00:47:19.720 on just about everyone.

00:47:21.620 Here's what

00:47:22.080 Jeremy,

00:47:23.180 co-CEO of the Daily Water,

00:47:24.180 had to say about that.

00:47:26.180 Here it is.

00:47:27.580 We won't be enforcing

00:47:28.760 Joe Biden's

00:47:29.420 unconstitutional

00:47:30.220 and tyrannical

00:47:30.920 vaccine mandate.

00:47:32.380 That's it.

00:47:33.160 We'll use every tool

00:47:34.080 at our disposal,

00:47:34.880 including legal action,

00:47:36.000 to resist.

00:47:36.520 And yes,

00:47:37.920 that's the same Jeremy

00:47:38.700 from Jeremy's Razors

00:47:39.500 who you may remember

00:47:40.400 from the viral commercial.

00:47:51.560 Did you see any other CEOs

00:47:52.800 out there publicly suing

00:47:53.880 the government

00:47:54.200 on your behalf?

00:47:55.180 No.

00:47:55.480 Well,

00:47:55.620 that's just Jeremy.

00:47:56.920 And the best part

00:47:57.980 about it is we won.

00:47:59.900 The Biden vaccine mandate

00:48:01.380 is as good as dead.

00:48:02.840 We said do not comply

00:48:03.940 and you did not comply.

00:48:05.540 In fact,

00:48:05.900 over a million of you

00:48:06.780 signed our petition

00:48:07.560 saying as much.

00:48:08.760 And today,

00:48:09.560 together, 1.00

00:48:10.220 we kick the government's ass. 1.00

00:48:12.340 So are you going to keep 1.00

00:48:13.360 buying from those other guys

00:48:15.120 or from the guy

00:48:16.220 who sued the government

00:48:17.280 on your behalf and won?

00:48:18.380 Those are the two choices.

00:48:19.560 And for all the ladies out there,

00:48:21.080 you can give your man

00:48:21.800 something else

00:48:22.300 to smile about as well.

00:48:23.160 Every time he picks up

00:48:24.000 at Jeremy's Razor,

00:48:25.080 he will remember

00:48:25.900 just how much you care.

00:48:27.120 Trust me,

00:48:27.720 if he listens to this show too,

00:48:28.780 he'll appreciate you even more.

00:48:30.620 We'll make it

00:48:31.300 even easier for you as well.

00:48:32.520 All you got to do

00:48:32.900 is switch now

00:48:33.480 and get 40% off

00:48:34.540 on your Razor subscriptions

00:48:35.720 at jeremysrazors.com.

00:48:38.920 There is no cancellation today

00:48:40.420 because there's something else

00:48:41.400 that I need to talk about.

00:48:43.160 And this is something

00:48:43.800 that I very much

00:48:44.720 do not want to talk about.

00:48:47.040 The kind of drama

00:48:47.720 that I normally stay out of.

00:48:49.820 And if you watch this show,

00:48:50.860 you know that.

00:48:52.100 But an exception

00:48:53.480 has to be made in this case

00:48:54.640 because when my friends

00:48:55.840 and allies

00:48:56.400 are dishonestly attacked

00:48:57.840 and unfairly maligned,

00:48:59.320 I am going to defend them.

00:49:01.500 So, Stephen Crowder,

00:49:04.380 you've probably heard

00:49:06.780 about the saga by now.

00:49:08.060 In fact,

00:49:08.340 you've heard way more

00:49:09.440 about big money

00:49:10.320 conservative media contracts

00:49:11.820 this week,

00:49:12.420 I imagine,

00:49:13.560 than you ever wanted to

00:49:14.600 or needed to.

00:49:15.900 You probably wake up

00:49:17.300 every morning

00:49:17.760 worried about

00:49:18.400 how you'll care

00:49:18.980 for your family

00:49:19.960 and feed your children.

00:49:21.440 Not so worried

00:49:22.440 about whether rich

00:49:23.200 and famous conservative

00:49:24.160 pundits are happy

00:49:25.600 in their contracts.

00:49:28.440 That's why

00:49:29.100 I don't want to spend

00:49:30.060 much time talking

00:49:30.640 about contracts,

00:49:31.380 but it's important

00:49:31.840 that we lend context.

00:49:34.300 So, here's a quick summary.

00:49:36.900 A few days ago,

00:49:37.840 Crowder,

00:49:38.480 Stephen Crowder,

00:49:38.980 published a video

00:49:39.700 titled Stop Big Con

00:49:41.400 where he attacked

00:49:42.560 unnamed

00:49:43.380 conservative media companies

00:49:44.700 who he accused

00:49:45.440 of being essentially

00:49:46.160 con artists

00:49:46.880 in bed with big tech.

00:49:48.680 And the main source

00:49:49.760 of his complaint

00:49:50.740 against, quote,

00:49:51.540 Big Con

00:49:52.080 was a contract

00:49:52.980 offered to him

00:49:53.840 by one company

00:49:54.820 which he claimed

00:49:55.500 was exploitative

00:49:57.020 and revealed

00:49:57.840 that this company

00:49:58.460 was acting

00:49:59.160 as an enforcement arm

00:50:00.280 for the big tech overlords.

00:50:01.920 And he said

00:50:02.240 that the contract offer

00:50:03.140 was tantamount to slavery.

00:50:04.540 He complained

00:50:04.860 that this company

00:50:05.420 wanted to deduct his pay

00:50:06.900 if he missed a day of work

00:50:07.960 or if he was deplatformed

00:50:09.480 by any of the major

00:50:10.140 social media platforms.

00:50:11.760 He framed this

00:50:12.720 as an unthinkably

00:50:13.680 sinister ploy.

00:50:15.080 He said that it was

00:50:15.620 so upsetting

00:50:16.200 that he's not sure

00:50:16.960 that he even wants

00:50:17.980 to continue in the business.

00:50:19.180 That's how terrible it was.

00:50:20.820 Now, he didn't name

00:50:21.740 the company,

00:50:22.380 but he gave

00:50:23.100 enough information

00:50:23.800 so that obviously

00:50:25.000 everyone would know

00:50:25.820 that it was a Daily Wire

00:50:26.640 and they wouldn't know it

00:50:27.320 because there was

00:50:29.000 only a few companies

00:50:29.920 it could be.

00:50:30.500 It wasn't the Blaze.

00:50:31.080 He just left the Blaze.

00:50:31.940 It wasn't Fox.

00:50:32.700 You know,

00:50:32.820 he already worked for Fox

00:50:33.580 and he's gone from there.

00:50:34.640 Also, the Fox

00:50:35.160 doesn't do ad reads

00:50:37.040 with their hosts

00:50:37.540 so it couldn't be them.

00:50:38.540 It couldn't be any

00:50:39.180 of the non-profit,

00:50:40.860 you know,

00:50:41.100 conservative groups.

00:50:41.780 So it's like

00:50:42.280 it had to be us.

00:50:44.260 And everyone knew that

00:50:45.580 and Crowder, of course,

00:50:46.360 knew that everybody

00:50:47.120 would know that.

00:50:49.040 So that put

00:50:51.600 Daily Wire in position

00:50:52.960 and the next day

00:50:54.120 our CEO,

00:50:55.100 Jeremy Boring,

00:50:55.700 did the only thing

00:50:56.540 he really could do

00:50:57.580 and certainly the thing

00:50:58.360 that was the most

00:50:59.000 transparent and honest.

00:51:00.680 And he released a video

00:51:02.280 admitting that this

00:51:03.820 supposedly nefarious contract

00:51:05.380 came from him

00:51:07.100 and from the Daily Wire

00:51:07.700 management team.

00:51:08.480 He then went through

00:51:09.320 the contract line by line,

00:51:10.920 the whole thing.

00:51:11.460 I'm pretty sure

00:51:13.520 this is the first time

00:51:14.620 ever that a CEO

00:51:16.580 of a media company

00:51:17.620 has walked through

00:51:19.640 a talent contract

00:51:21.280 line by line

00:51:22.620 for an hour.

00:51:24.300 Can't get more

00:51:24.920 transparent than that.

00:51:26.120 And so that's what he did,

00:51:27.060 revealed every detail of it

00:51:28.100 so that there could be

00:51:28.660 no confusion.

00:51:30.500 He didn't attack Crowder.

00:51:33.060 He was, you know,

00:51:34.160 said that he respects Crowder,

00:51:36.060 respects the work that he does

00:51:37.000 and all the rest of it.

00:51:37.640 But here's the contract.

00:51:39.180 Here's the truth.

00:51:40.660 He explained that they

00:51:41.500 offered Crowder $50 million

00:51:42.640 for a four-year contract,

00:51:43.880 but the document

00:51:45.460 that Crowder showed 0.53

00:51:46.380 on the air

00:51:46.980 in his initial video

00:51:47.900 was not the four-year contract.

00:51:49.840 It was a term sheet.

00:51:50.720 It was an offer in writing,

00:51:52.120 a first salvo

00:51:53.100 in what was supposed to be

00:51:54.020 a negotiation.

00:51:56.160 Crowder wanted,

00:51:56.960 among other things,

00:51:57.560 a lot more money.

00:51:58.300 He wanted $30 million a year,

00:51:59.700 not $50 million for four years.

00:52:01.160 That's what he wanted.

00:52:04.040 And, you know,

00:52:05.100 you can't be blamed for that.

00:52:06.060 You're supposed to want more

00:52:07.620 than whatever

00:52:08.200 you're first offered.

00:52:09.900 Part of the negotiation.

00:52:11.460 And if you think

00:52:12.060 you can get $120 million,

00:52:13.160 you should ask for it.

00:52:14.400 Okay?

00:52:14.680 If I thought that

00:52:15.540 I could get that,

00:52:17.060 I would go ask for

00:52:17.900 I want $120 million.

00:52:19.280 Anybody would.

00:52:20.900 But that is what he asked for.

00:52:23.100 As for the penalties

00:52:24.060 that Crowder complained about,

00:52:25.700 as Jeremy explained,

00:52:26.980 they would give him

00:52:27.780 four weeks of paid vacation

00:52:29.120 every year.

00:52:29.960 Pretty good amount.

00:52:30.900 But beyond that,

00:52:31.680 they didn't want to pay him

00:52:32.480 for episodes

00:52:33.180 he didn't actually make.

00:52:34.720 And if he lost advertisers

00:52:36.220 or platforms,

00:52:37.140 then obviously his show

00:52:38.040 would make less money,

00:52:38.920 which means that he would

00:52:39.860 make less money.

00:52:41.340 Okay?

00:52:41.440 The initial contract

00:52:42.140 was, of course,

00:52:42.900 a calculation based on

00:52:44.240 the initial offer, rather.

00:52:45.640 A calculation based on

00:52:46.580 the revenue that Crowder

00:52:47.760 was expected to bring in.

00:52:49.500 And part of that calculation

00:52:50.680 is looking at the platform

00:52:51.800 access that he has.

00:52:53.160 All of that is monetizable.

00:52:55.020 Crowder monetizes it right now.

00:52:56.320 We all do.

00:52:57.100 And so it's worth something.

00:52:58.640 And so they're making

00:52:59.380 a contract offer

00:53:00.040 based on that.

00:53:01.280 Like, this is how,

00:53:02.360 what all that is worth.

00:53:03.860 We're going to pay you

00:53:04.420 this for that.

00:53:07.040 If that goes away,

00:53:08.780 then it doesn't have

00:53:09.400 the same value anymore

00:53:10.780 because it's not there.

00:53:14.040 Now, the offer wasn't meant

00:53:15.200 to be a charitable donation.

00:53:16.480 If something were to happen

00:53:17.680 causing him to bring in

00:53:18.480 a lot less revenue,

00:53:19.260 then they would want

00:53:20.400 to pay him less income

00:53:21.620 because he makes less.

00:53:22.340 This is a very normal

00:53:23.120 aspect of any business.

00:53:24.760 It's how all businesses operate.

00:53:26.200 It's how Crowder himself

00:53:27.040 operates his own business.

00:53:29.280 It's not shocking

00:53:30.140 or scandalous.

00:53:30.780 Though it should be noted

00:53:32.780 that according to the term sheet,

00:53:34.380 even if Crowder got demonetized

00:53:35.900 and banned from every platform,

00:53:37.420 the Daily Wire would still

00:53:38.160 pay him millions of dollars a year

00:53:39.360 to make content

00:53:40.240 for the Daily Wire's platform.

00:53:41.900 And please note that

00:53:42.540 if he didn't want his money

00:53:44.360 to be tied to ad performance

00:53:45.620 and platform reach,

00:53:47.640 you know, that's one way

00:53:48.660 to structure a contract.

00:53:49.960 It's not the only way.

00:53:52.000 And if he didn't want that,

00:53:53.140 he could have negotiated

00:53:53.820 for a lower base salary,

00:53:55.700 which would still be

00:53:56.340 millions a year,

00:53:57.360 in exchange for guarantees

00:53:58.620 that he would receive it

00:53:59.580 regardless of those factors.

00:54:02.000 This, again,

00:54:02.460 in any kind of contract situation,

00:54:04.880 if you want, you know,

00:54:06.500 if you want guaranteed,

00:54:08.620 like if you want guaranteed

00:54:09.760 salary is one thing,

00:54:11.280 if you want incentive-based salary,

00:54:13.160 that's going to be higher.

00:54:14.200 But if you don't,

00:54:14.660 but if you don't want to be

00:54:15.260 beholden to any incentives

00:54:16.180 or anything like that,

00:54:16.960 then it's going to be

00:54:17.540 a lower salary

00:54:18.080 because it's guaranteed.

00:54:19.180 And there's a risk

00:54:19.940 for the company

00:54:20.640 that they're guaranteeing it

00:54:22.360 no matter what you do.

00:54:24.100 If you lose money,

00:54:25.300 if you, whatever,

00:54:26.060 if you, whatever happens,

00:54:27.860 we're going to guarantee this.

00:54:29.600 Well, that's a risk,

00:54:30.180 so it's going to be

00:54:30.520 a little bit less.

00:54:31.240 Could have countered with that.

00:54:32.720 He didn't,

00:54:33.520 and instead he went public.

00:54:35.320 Now, the next day,

00:54:37.240 after Jeremy released his video,

00:54:38.780 Crowder responded

00:54:39.900 with another video.

00:54:41.880 After having accused

00:54:42.800 The Daily Wire

00:54:43.300 of being in bed

00:54:43.960 with big tech

00:54:44.620 based on a mangled reading

00:54:47.140 of extremely normal

00:54:48.320 contract language,

00:54:49.760 and having essentially

00:54:50.480 accused his friends,

00:54:51.720 Jeremy and Ben,

00:54:52.440 who he's known for a decade

00:54:53.400 and who have supported him

00:54:54.500 many times over the years,

00:54:55.660 of being sellouts

00:54:56.480 and con artists,

00:54:57.560 he then played snippets

00:54:58.400 of a phone call

00:54:59.120 that he had with Jeremy,

00:55:00.520 which he secretly recorded.

00:55:02.660 In the call,

00:55:03.860 Jeremy says

00:55:04.420 most of what he said publicly

00:55:06.320 in his first response video.

00:55:08.900 The big gotcha,

00:55:09.860 apparently,

00:55:10.140 is that Jeremy,

00:55:10.620 in this casual

00:55:11.280 and he thought private

00:55:12.220 conversation with a friend,

00:55:13.680 said that new content creators

00:55:15.580 have to come on

00:55:16.680 and be, quote,

00:55:17.360 wage slaves for a little bit

00:55:18.680 until they build up

00:55:19.640 enough of a brand

00:55:20.200 to be worth the kind of money

00:55:21.200 that Crowder is.

00:55:23.820 Pretty normal.

00:55:26.080 You've got to earn your way.

00:55:29.460 You have to earn your way

00:55:30.420 in the business.

00:55:30.980 That's another way

00:55:32.040 of putting it.

00:55:32.840 Wage slave is a normal expression 1.00

00:55:34.600 that most of us have used.

00:55:36.880 It's not offensive,

00:55:38.080 but which is supposed to be

00:55:38.900 so sinister,

00:55:40.460 coming from Jeremy's mouth,

00:55:42.060 that it justified publicly releasing

00:55:44.540 a private phone conversation

00:55:46.020 with a friend who trusts you

00:55:47.240 or trusted you.

00:55:49.420 In the phone conversation,

00:55:50.440 Crowder sticks up

00:55:51.560 for the up-and-coming

00:55:52.420 young creators

00:55:53.060 who he says

00:55:53.640 he's most concerned about.

00:55:55.140 He says that he would,

00:55:56.160 he wants to teach

00:55:57.100 The Daily Wire

00:55:57.640 how to run their business.

00:55:59.480 He knows the way to do it

00:56:00.600 and The Daily Wire doesn't.

00:56:02.120 He wants to tell them

00:56:02.700 how to do it.

00:56:03.820 He says that he doesn't want

00:56:04.820 to be beholden to big tech.

00:56:06.000 He wants to be liberated from it.

00:56:07.120 He presents this

00:56:07.640 as a revelatory idea

00:56:08.820 and one that The Daily Wire

00:56:09.740 somehow disagrees with.

00:56:11.100 Of course, he says all this

00:56:12.060 in a conversation

00:56:12.700 that he knew he was recording

00:56:14.760 and he knew he would release it

00:56:16.700 to an audience

00:56:17.320 because that's why you record it.

00:56:19.080 He also insisted

00:56:20.160 that The Daily Wire

00:56:20.860 should adopt his business model

00:56:23.440 of trying to get away

00:56:24.420 from big tech dependents

00:56:25.560 which doesn't make

00:56:26.080 a lot of sense

00:56:26.600 because that is

00:56:27.340 The Daily Wire's

00:56:28.200 business model.

00:56:29.320 We have built up

00:56:29.940 a subscriber base

00:56:30.840 of a million plus

00:56:31.820 with the intent

00:56:32.840 of creating

00:56:33.440 our own institution.

00:56:34.520 This has been

00:56:34.780 The Daily Wire's

00:56:35.300 business model

00:56:36.140 since long before

00:56:37.380 they made an offer to him.

00:56:40.760 This is something

00:56:42.080 that in the company meetings

00:56:44.480 that Jeremy has

00:56:47.220 with all staff here

00:56:48.280 including myself

00:56:48.720 that are live streamed

00:56:50.420 for the public to see

00:56:51.560 okay

00:56:52.500 this is talked about

00:56:54.380 all the time

00:56:55.140 that this is our goal

00:56:56.140 to become an institution

00:56:57.580 the left has all the institution

00:56:59.800 the right doesn't 0.72

00:57:00.460 doesn't have any

00:57:01.080 and so we want to be

00:57:01.880 our own

00:57:02.560 so we're not beholden

00:57:04.300 to

00:57:04.520 to these big tech companies.

00:57:08.140 In fact,

00:57:08.400 bringing Stephen Crowder

00:57:09.080 on board was supposed

00:57:09.660 to be in service

00:57:10.560 to that ultimate goal

00:57:11.500 but it's a goal

00:57:12.040 that takes time

00:57:12.900 and it requires money

00:57:14.100 and a lot of it

00:57:14.840 and in the meantime

00:57:15.660 we do indeed depend

00:57:17.260 partly on sites like YouTube

00:57:18.580 to access an audience

00:57:20.160 and generate revenue.

00:57:22.200 Of course we do

00:57:23.020 so does Stephen Crowder

00:57:24.020 so does nearly every

00:57:25.120 conservative media company

00:57:26.200 and personality.

00:57:27.560 Yeah, that's the issue, right?

00:57:28.600 That's the problem

00:57:29.180 we all recognize

00:57:29.840 is that we're all dependent

00:57:30.880 on these platforms

00:57:31.720 they own everything

00:57:33.000 and we want to get away

00:57:35.140 from that

00:57:35.620 but that's a strategy

00:57:37.760 it's a game plan

00:57:38.800 it takes time

00:57:39.640 you have to stick with it.

00:57:41.100 You can't just snap

00:57:41.800 your fingers and say

00:57:42.300 I'm independent now

00:57:43.140 and you can do that

00:57:45.120 but if you haven't

00:57:46.420 taken the time

00:57:47.000 and put the groundwork

00:57:47.760 in place

00:57:48.160 you'll get crushed.

00:57:49.900 We want to be the first

00:57:50.980 to be entirely independent

00:57:52.380 of all these platforms

00:57:52.920 or among the first

00:57:53.520 to be entirely independent

00:57:54.380 of all these platforms

00:57:55.380 but again

00:57:55.880 that takes time.

00:57:57.500 We nearly doubled

00:57:58.620 our subscriber base

00:57:59.580 last year.

00:58:00.860 I mean it is doubtful

00:58:01.680 that any other

00:58:03.240 subscription service

00:58:04.120 in existence

00:58:04.720 grew at that rate

00:58:05.980 so we're going

00:58:06.960 as fast as we can

00:58:08.080 I mean we're going

00:58:08.560 faster than almost anybody

00:58:10.040 and yet it still

00:58:11.540 takes time.

00:58:13.960 Okay so

00:58:14.580 here's what I want

00:58:15.460 to say about all this

00:58:16.140 that was all

00:58:17.140 10 minutes of context

00:58:18.920 but I felt like

00:58:19.480 it's been

00:58:19.820 you know

00:58:20.380 you need to hear it.

00:58:23.220 As for Crowder

00:58:24.540 I don't know him

00:58:25.860 I've never met him

00:58:27.400 I never had an issue

00:58:28.880 with him before

00:58:29.760 I think he's a

00:58:30.520 great talent

00:58:31.100 I think he's an

00:58:31.560 effective communicator

00:58:32.420 I also think

00:58:33.840 I know

00:58:34.840 that he is

00:58:35.660 intentionally

00:58:36.280 misrepresenting

00:58:37.380 the Daily Wire

00:58:37.960 and its business model

00:58:38.920 and I even more

00:58:40.440 think and know

00:58:41.340 that calling a friend

00:58:42.480 and an ally

00:58:43.200 and secretly recording it

00:58:44.380 and using it against him

00:58:45.400 in public

00:58:47.440 is the lowest

00:58:48.940 thing I've ever seen

00:58:50.940 anyone do

00:58:51.780 in this business

00:58:52.300 and I've seen

00:58:52.980 people do

00:58:53.920 some very low things.

00:58:55.960 Keep in mind

00:58:56.600 that the recorded call

00:58:57.600 came weeks after

00:58:59.260 weeks after

00:59:00.620 the contract negotiations

00:59:01.800 ended amicably

00:59:03.080 between Crowder and DW.

00:59:04.660 It was over

00:59:05.320 they had both

00:59:05.720 gone separate ways.

00:59:06.360 He wanted money

00:59:08.380 they couldn't pay

00:59:08.980 so they just went

00:59:10.140 separate ways

00:59:10.400 it happens

00:59:10.880 it happens in business

00:59:11.780 everyone had moved on

00:59:13.080 we thought

00:59:13.500 and then Stephen Crowder

00:59:16.020 called Jeremy

00:59:17.220 weeks and weeks after

00:59:19.040 and said

00:59:20.160 I've got to talk to you

00:59:21.020 and Jeremy called him

00:59:22.960 and they started talking

00:59:24.620 about their family

00:59:25.580 and their kids

00:59:26.260 and Crowder was

00:59:28.220 recording it

00:59:29.520 the whole time

00:59:29.880 he already had bought

00:59:31.620 the Stop Big Con

00:59:32.980 domain name

00:59:33.660 he already had this

00:59:34.280 plan in place

00:59:34.860 so he called him

00:59:36.120 specifically to get him

00:59:37.860 to say the things

00:59:38.560 that he could use

00:59:39.260 against him

00:59:39.780 trying to lay the trap

00:59:41.680 that he could use

00:59:42.500 in public

00:59:43.040 and as I said

00:59:44.280 it was before this

00:59:45.180 actually that he

00:59:45.660 registered the Stop Big Con

00:59:47.300 website

00:59:47.680 clearly showing

00:59:48.840 what the plan was

00:59:49.560 so Jeremy got set up

00:59:51.680 by a man that he has

00:59:52.820 known and helped promote

00:59:53.720 constantly over the years

00:59:55.100 that's what happened

00:59:55.700 but let's get to

00:59:58.300 my actual point

00:59:59.220 there are many

01:00:00.380 accusations flying around

01:00:01.500 about Jeremy Boring

01:00:02.840 about Ben Shapiro

01:00:03.600 about the company

01:00:04.480 they founded together

01:00:05.340 all the accusations

01:00:06.360 center around the claim

01:00:07.500 that they are

01:00:08.780 exploiting their talent

01:00:10.380 they are suppressing

01:00:11.440 and stifling us

01:00:12.520 and they're only interested

01:00:13.420 in the bottom line

01:00:14.180 rather than fighting

01:00:14.800 for the culture

01:00:15.300 these accusations

01:00:16.760 are being made

01:00:17.340 by some people

01:00:17.960 who absolutely

01:00:18.820 know better

01:00:19.640 in many cases

01:00:20.940 by people

01:00:21.420 who Jeremy and Ben

01:00:22.260 have befriended

01:00:22.900 and promoted

01:00:23.420 and helped

01:00:23.880 only to now be

01:00:24.540 stabbed in the back 0.95

01:00:25.280 by them in public

01:00:26.700 but the accusations

01:00:28.860 are also being amplified

01:00:29.620 by people who don't

01:00:30.360 know better

01:00:30.720 people in the audience

01:00:31.400 who are caught in the middle

01:00:32.380 trying to make heads or tails of it

01:00:33.460 and it's for the benefit

01:00:34.220 of that latter group

01:00:34.980 that I now want to say

01:00:35.700 a few things

01:00:36.160 about my own experience

01:00:37.580 at the Daily Wire

01:00:38.200 because I was myself

01:00:40.900 a young up and coming

01:00:42.580 content creator

01:00:43.580 when I joined the company

01:00:45.440 five years ago

01:00:46.180 so I'm that guy

01:00:47.760 that Steven Crowder

01:00:48.520 is pretending to be

01:00:49.320 concerned about

01:00:49.980 that's me

01:00:51.040 here I am

01:00:52.100 hello

01:00:52.440 today I have one of the

01:00:54.720 top news commentary

01:00:55.500 podcasts in the country

01:00:56.480 I didn't start that way

01:00:57.620 so I think my perspective

01:00:59.840 is relevant

01:01:00.620 to this conversation

01:01:01.460 though I realize

01:01:03.320 that I'm in a lose-lose situation

01:01:05.020 because if I ignore

01:01:06.060 all of this

01:01:06.580 and I say nothing

01:01:07.480 in defense of Jeremy

01:01:08.420 and the company

01:01:08.880 my silence will be taken

01:01:10.540 as an admission

01:01:11.320 that the attacks are true

01:01:12.420 but if I speak up

01:01:14.720 then the critics

01:01:15.780 will simply assume

01:01:16.580 that I'm only saying this

01:01:17.420 because I was forced to

01:01:18.300 there is nothing

01:01:19.520 I can say or do

01:01:20.480 that's the game here

01:01:22.000 right

01:01:22.240 this is the game

01:01:22.880 we find ourselves

01:01:23.520 in this business sometimes

01:01:24.380 the game is

01:01:25.460 there is nothing

01:01:26.480 I can say or do

01:01:27.220 that won't confirm

01:01:28.520 whatever the critics

01:01:30.040 already thought

01:01:31.040 so be it

01:01:32.800 if I have to take

01:01:33.860 the lumps here

01:01:34.680 either way

01:01:35.240 I might as well

01:01:35.700 do the right thing

01:01:36.500 and speak up

01:01:37.240 for the men

01:01:37.660 that I respect

01:01:38.260 and a company

01:01:39.440 that I'm grateful

01:01:40.000 to work for

01:01:40.640 to that end

01:01:42.080 I will say that

01:01:42.660 the Daily Wire

01:01:43.180 brought me into the fold

01:01:44.040 back when I was

01:01:44.820 a relatively unproven

01:01:46.140 former blogger

01:01:47.120 with no platform

01:01:48.680 aside from my

01:01:49.420 Facebook page

01:01:50.260 that's all that I

01:01:51.540 had at the time

01:01:52.460 and they gave me

01:01:54.620 an opportunity

01:01:55.020 they didn't give me

01:01:55.540 success

01:01:56.060 nobody can give you that

01:01:57.000 I'd have to work

01:01:57.620 for that

01:01:58.060 and it would be

01:01:59.240 a collaborative effort

01:02:00.360 involving an entire team

01:02:01.840 but they would give me

01:02:03.260 the opportunity

01:02:03.820 to reach success

01:02:04.900 far from being

01:02:06.080 exploited

01:02:08.020 you know

01:02:08.760 far from exploiting me

01:02:10.340 or trying to suppress

01:02:11.220 my ideas

01:02:11.740 they instead

01:02:12.720 kept me around

01:02:14.080 they kept paying me

01:02:14.820 they invested more

01:02:15.780 and more in me

01:02:16.800 they gave me free reign

01:02:18.140 to talk about

01:02:18.740 anything I wanted

01:02:19.580 to talk about

01:02:20.280 while my platform

01:02:21.600 profile grew

01:02:22.380 very slowly

01:02:23.120 at first

01:02:23.640 my podcast

01:02:24.820 turned

01:02:25.400 basically no profit

01:02:27.660 and had a very small

01:02:28.400 audience

01:02:28.740 for multiple years

01:02:30.200 and they gave me

01:02:31.740 all that time

01:02:32.420 to prove myself

01:02:33.740 because they believed

01:02:34.700 in me

01:02:35.340 and saw the potential

01:02:36.060 that at times

01:02:37.120 if I'm being honest

01:02:37.780 even I struggled

01:02:38.620 to see in myself

01:02:40.020 two years ago

01:02:41.600 the show finally

01:02:42.220 started to gain traction

01:02:43.220 and that's thanks

01:02:44.100 not just of course

01:02:44.740 to my own contributions

01:02:45.560 but to the work

01:02:46.200 of the team

01:02:46.680 DW put around me

01:02:47.980 especially my producer

01:02:48.740 Sean

01:02:49.140 and a year ago

01:02:50.660 we started to grow

01:02:51.300 even faster

01:02:52.000 after the Dr. Phil interview

01:02:53.480 an interview

01:02:53.900 which by the way

01:02:54.760 was offered

01:02:55.960 originally to Ben Shapiro

01:02:57.660 it was a great

01:03:00.260 interview offer

01:03:00.880 okay

01:03:01.300 that Dr. Phil appearance

01:03:02.620 was a perfect environment

01:03:04.040 for someone like us

01:03:05.100 to be put on that panel

01:03:06.400 talking about that issue

01:03:07.560 and it would have been

01:03:08.480 great for Ben

01:03:09.220 Ben passed it to me

01:03:11.120 because he wanted me

01:03:12.340 to have the opportunity

01:03:13.640 then what is a woman 1.00

01:03:15.480 hit

01:03:15.860 and we reached

01:03:16.720 a whole new level

01:03:17.320 every step of the way

01:03:19.400 I've been supported

01:03:20.400 by Jeremy

01:03:21.000 Ben

01:03:21.380 the whole team

01:03:21.940 here at the Daily Wire

01:03:22.480 I've had complete

01:03:24.000 and total freedom

01:03:24.980 to discuss

01:03:25.600 whatever issues

01:03:26.700 I want to discuss

01:03:27.620 for as long

01:03:28.500 as I want to talk

01:03:29.120 about them

01:03:29.480 in whatever way

01:03:30.400 I want to talk

01:03:30.900 about them

01:03:31.300 and to be myself

01:03:33.000 for better or worse

01:03:33.980 and anyone who listens

01:03:36.460 to this show

01:03:37.060 or follows me

01:03:37.680 on Twitter

01:03:38.260 knows that

01:03:39.220 okay 1.00

01:03:40.440 I will die 0.88

01:03:41.440 on every hill 0.94

01:03:42.100 I will talk

01:03:42.680 about anything

01:03:43.440 I will say

01:03:44.440 anything

01:03:45.200 again

01:03:47.860 for better or worse

01:03:48.840 I wouldn't be

01:03:50.540 where I am

01:03:51.520 without this team

01:03:52.340 without Jeremy

01:03:52.920 without the Daily Wire

01:03:53.540 that's the honest truth

01:03:54.440 and you should know that

01:03:56.340 more importantly

01:03:59.040 and this is the most

01:04:01.120 important thing

01:04:01.760 together here

01:04:04.040 at the Daily Wire

01:04:04.640 we are

01:04:05.180 we are fighting

01:04:06.180 for the country

01:04:06.900 for the culture

01:04:07.820 we're achieving

01:04:08.560 real success

01:04:09.980 in just the past 12 months

01:04:11.860 the Daily Wire

01:04:12.460 and this is a

01:04:14.240 this is a partial list

01:04:15.360 helped to defeat

01:04:16.880 Biden's vax mandate

01:04:17.980 released one of the most

01:04:19.700 culturally influential

01:04:20.600 documentaries

01:04:21.200 of the century

01:04:22.100 took down

01:04:23.580 Vanderbilt's

01:04:24.200 child gender clinic

01:04:25.060 we took it down

01:04:26.320 we did that

01:04:27.120 we held the largest

01:04:29.240 anti-gender ideology

01:04:30.360 rally in the country

01:04:31.140 resulting in a ban

01:04:32.360 on child mutilation

01:04:33.120 across the entire state

01:04:34.340 we invested tens of

01:04:35.580 millions of dollars

01:04:36.100 into children's content

01:04:37.100 to compete with

01:04:38.380 woke companies

01:04:38.900 like Disney

01:04:39.380 we launched a product line

01:04:40.820 to compete directly

01:04:41.800 with an advertiser

01:04:42.640 who tried to cancel us

01:04:43.560 if you go back

01:04:44.360 another year

01:04:44.900 year and a half

01:04:45.400 you'll find us

01:04:45.860 exposing a major

01:04:46.760 cover up in Loudoun County

01:04:48.120 mobilizing a movement

01:04:49.520 that helped flip

01:04:50.080 the entire state red

01:04:51.120 that's what we're doing

01:04:53.120 we have had more

01:04:54.920 tangible achievements

01:04:55.820 in the past two years

01:04:56.820 than any other

01:04:57.600 conservative media company

01:04:58.680 or personality

01:04:59.480 and it's not close

01:05:00.860 and I defy you

01:05:02.660 to give me an example

01:05:03.720 that would refute

01:05:06.200 what I just said

01:05:06.940 it's not bragging

01:05:08.480 that's just a factual statement

01:05:09.820 that's what we've been doing

01:05:11.940 nobody else is doing it

01:05:13.980 we're not just talking

01:05:16.300 there are a lot of people

01:05:18.180 in this business

01:05:18.880 who like to say

01:05:21.880 that they're fighting

01:05:22.700 everyone use it

01:05:24.260 I know sometimes

01:05:24.840 it's like just white noise

01:05:28.620 when you hear people

01:05:29.660 like us say

01:05:30.280 oh we gotta fight

01:05:30.980 we gotta fight

01:05:31.480 we gotta fight

01:05:31.940 it's white noise

01:05:32.900 after a while

01:05:33.380 because you've noticed

01:05:34.560 that most of the people

01:05:35.800 saying they're fighting

01:05:36.460 they're not actually

01:05:36.980 doing anything

01:05:37.640 they're just talking

01:05:38.560 into a camera

01:05:39.140 they're not doing

01:05:39.780 anything else

01:05:40.680 they're not out there

01:05:42.560 doing anything

01:05:43.360 but we are

01:05:46.180 we're racking up

01:05:47.960 real wins

01:05:48.580 and we're doing it

01:05:50.120 with your investment

01:05:51.480 and your support

01:05:52.460 and we need

01:05:54.460 a lot more of it

01:05:55.260 we're very open

01:05:56.940 about that

01:05:57.400 very open

01:05:58.180 about what the plan is

01:05:59.020 this is still

01:06:01.040 ground floor

01:06:01.780 level that we're at

01:06:03.120 we know that

01:06:03.700 and I'd like to get

01:06:06.780 back to that now

01:06:07.360 I'd like to get back

01:06:08.520 to the battles

01:06:08.980 that actually matter

01:06:09.740 battles that I will

01:06:10.880 fight alongside

01:06:11.820 anyone who has

01:06:12.840 the same goals as me

01:06:13.780 I don't care who they are

01:06:14.540 that includes Stephen Crowder

01:06:15.520 or anyone else

01:06:16.760 so my proposal

01:06:19.720 my term sheet proposal

01:06:22.720 is that we put this

01:06:24.200 all aside now

01:06:24.920 and we get back

01:06:26.440 to trying to

01:06:27.080 save the country

01:06:27.840 which is what matters

01:06:29.500 to me

01:06:29.840 and that'll do it

01:06:32.620 for this portion

01:06:33.580 of the show

01:06:33.960 as we move over

01:06:34.420 to the members block

01:06:35.400 hope to see you there

01:06:36.560 if not

01:06:37.060 talk to you tomorrow

01:06:37.940 or rather on Monday

01:06:39.280 Godspeed
