Today on the Matt Wall Show, trans activists have been panicking this week about an imaginary genocide against them.
00:00:05.360
There is no genocide, of course, but we are waging war against their poisonous ideology.
00:00:09.720
And no matter how much they kick and scream, what they have to remember is that they started this fight.
00:00:14.480
Also, Tucker Carlson releases the footage from January 6th that the media in D.C. don't want us to see.
00:00:19.140
Some of it is truly shocking. We'll play some of it for you today.
00:00:21.800
And Walmart will be closing all of its stores in Portland after retail theft drives the entire branch,
00:00:27.060
an entire corporation, out of the city. Plus, Pete Buttigieg claims that you're not a real working class man unless you're a fan of T.J. Maxx.
00:00:34.740
In our daily cancellation, a self-proclaimed fat sex therapist says that we need to build a sex-positive culture that is welcoming to men with rape fetishes.
00:00:43.320
All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:45.120
Here's the deal. You know, the Feds, they keep raising rates because it's the only tool they have to keep inflation under control.
00:00:59.580
It's not working. You can't spend your way out of inflation.
00:01:02.460
You've seen the impact on the stock market and you've seen the impact on your savings as well.
00:01:06.340
Hedge inflation by owning gold, birch gold. Buy gold and get a free safe to store it in as well.
00:01:11.020
Well, that's right. On qualifying purchases from Birch Gold, now through March 31st, they'll ship a free safe directly to your door.
00:01:17.820
You're not getting a better deal than that anywhere.
00:01:19.580
Whether you have physical gold and silver in your safe or you have it through an IRA and precious metals
00:01:23.800
where you can hold real gold and silver in a tax-sheltered retirement account,
00:01:27.720
Birch Gold makes it easy to convert an IRA or 401k into an IRA and precious metals.
00:01:31.920
All you got to do is text Walsh to 989898 to claim your free info kit on gold and to claim your free safe as well.
00:01:38.400
With your retirement at stake, you want to be confident in the financial service companies that you work with,
00:01:42.820
including who you choose for purchasing physical precious metals.
00:01:46.580
Text Walsh to 989898 and protect your savings with gold today.
00:01:51.180
Well, I take comfort in the fact that if on any given day I am not personally being accused of launching a genocidal campaign
00:01:58.000
against marginalized people, then someone else at the Daily Wire certainly is.
00:02:01.280
So on Saturday it was, of course, Michael Knowles who stepped up to the plate delivering a speech at CPAC
00:02:09.600
But as far as the media is concerned, of course, he didn't give a speech at all.
00:02:12.620
He only uttered one single phrase and all the rest of the context, everything else he said, was irrelevant noise.
00:02:19.180
As they breathlessly and hysterically reported, Knowles called for the eradication of transgenderism.
00:02:26.380
They reported that he called for the eradication of transgender people, according to the headlines and various outlets
00:02:31.380
and the panicked social media posts of countless trans activists and other leftists.
00:02:36.480
He had explicitly advocated for the mass execution of the transgender community itself.
00:02:44.400
The right was finally revealing its true intentions.
00:02:51.540
And they got all of that from this statement, Munch.
00:02:54.320
There can be no middle way in dealing with transgenderism.
00:03:01.480
If transgenderism is true, if men really can become women, then it's true for everybody of all ages.
00:03:08.780
If transgenderism is false, as it is, if men really can't become women, as they cannot, then it's false for everybody too.
00:03:17.340
And if it's false, then we should not indulge it, especially since that indulgence requires taking away the rights and customs of so many people.
00:03:29.080
If it is false, then for the good of society, and especially for the good of the poor people who have fallen prey to this confusion,
00:03:37.320
transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely.
00:03:42.540
The whole preposterous ideology at every level.
00:03:53.360
And as I've warned you many times, trans activists in particular lie about literally everything all the time.
00:04:00.140
They lie to themselves and about themselves and about everything else.
00:04:04.000
So they will certainly lie and say that Michael Knowles pushed for a holocaust of trans people,
00:04:08.880
when in fact he called for the defeat of an ideology, an idea.
00:04:12.680
If he was saying that he wanted to work for the eradication of malaria, that would not mean that he was murdering people with malaria.
00:04:20.460
In fact, the only reason that you would want to eradicate malaria is because you feel compassion towards the people with malaria.
00:04:28.840
If you didn't care about those people, then you say, well, let's let them die of malaria.
00:04:32.720
In the same way, a person who truly loves those who've fallen into transgenderism should want to eradicate the ism for their sake and for the sake of society at large.
00:04:55.360
The tone may be militant, but not needlessly so.
00:04:58.740
We are, after all, in a war and lives are at stake.
00:05:02.720
We are in a war against the most deranged ideology ever invented by the human race.
00:05:10.380
We are fighting to eradicate the ideological equivalent of a parasitic infestation.
00:05:16.800
And the parasite, gender ideology, seeks to not only brainwash a generation of children,
00:05:22.340
not only degrade and appropriate womanhood, but also, and manhood, by the way,
00:05:27.060
but also, and most fundamentally, it seeks to eat away at truth itself.
00:05:32.060
Or if it cannot devour the truth, then at least it will destroy our ability to recognize the truth for what it is.
00:05:40.220
Eradication of gender ideology, total defeat, is the only option because there's no compromise with it.
00:05:51.080
The gender ideologue wants to destroy your culture and your children.
00:05:56.040
You will either rise up against it or lose everything to it.
00:06:00.780
I mean, how do you compromise with someone who wants to sterilize and castrate children?
00:06:05.660
Do you agree to only sexually mutilate half of the kids?
00:06:09.380
Or how do you compromise with someone who wants to rewrite biology textbooks to teach students that men can get pregnant?
00:06:17.360
What is the compromise position between men can get pregnant and men cannot get pregnant?
00:06:24.160
When it comes to what we're going to tell people, what we are going to teach kids in school,
00:06:34.660
between those two options, what's the middle ground?
00:06:46.140
Either we destroy gender ideology, eradicate it from public life,
00:06:50.620
utterly defeat it, burn it to the ground and dance around its ashes,
00:07:00.040
But there's another point, too, and this is something that I want to say
00:07:03.020
specifically to the trans activists who are now crying and panicking
00:07:08.080
and hysterically ranting about imaginary genocides.
00:07:18.980
I want you to listen to this part very closely.
00:07:30.560
So, I see you on social media and on the news and out marching the street,
00:07:36.020
crying your crocodile tears and claiming that you're being set upon
00:07:39.260
by fascist right-wingers who won't let you just live your lives in peace.
00:07:57.040
We were minding our own business when you came along and demanded that we abandon
00:08:03.480
everything we know about fundamental physical reality for your sake.
00:08:09.480
You claim the right to walk into whatever bathroom you want, whatever locker room,
00:08:17.880
Nobody else has ever had that right to just do whatever they want, go anywhere they want.
00:08:24.400
You came after our children, seeking to suck them into your suicide cult just to make yourselves
00:08:30.820
You tried to restructure human society to make it affirming to you personally.
00:08:37.520
You wanted to force the whole world to bend to your narcissism.
00:08:43.840
You tried to control how we speak, even when you're not in the room.
00:08:48.060
Your ego is so out of control that you even tried to take possession of parts of the English
00:08:56.620
But you waved that hideous, ridiculous flag in our face and wouldn't stop waving it.
00:09:04.140
You demanded not just tolerance, but celebration.
00:09:10.220
And now you cry victim because some of us have simply answered no.
00:09:17.800
Many people surrendered to those demands immediately, but some of us, a few of us, are refusing.
00:09:25.220
You bullied most people into submission right away, but now you want to compare yourselves
00:09:29.840
to Jews and the Holocaust because a few of us can't be controlled so easily?
00:09:35.820
Well, that is just a testament to your boundless narcissism.
00:09:43.240
If you were really interested in privacy, if you really simply wanted the ability to live
00:09:49.220
your life as you wished, then you could have had that.
00:09:57.020
If you had just said, well, I'm going to live as though I'm the opposite sex.
00:10:01.440
I'm going to tell everyone that I'm the opposite sex.
00:10:03.420
And I'm going to change my name and how I dress.
00:10:05.880
And I'm going to do all of this because it's what I want to do.
00:10:10.420
Well, if you just said that, you could have done that.
00:10:13.820
I personally still would not have agreed with your lifestyle.
00:10:16.640
And I personally would not have gone along with the charade.
00:10:23.020
But society generally would have left you alone as you claim you want.
00:10:28.980
And I know that because that was already the experience of the very small minority of
00:10:34.780
trans-identified people in this country up until the last decade or so.
00:10:38.040
Prior to this past decade, this tiny group of people basically lived the lifestyle they
00:10:43.520
And there wasn't much intent to stop them from doing so.
00:10:57.440
In your vanity, you couldn't be satisfied merely with the ability to live how you want.
00:11:04.320
You needed not just the ability to practice your lifestyle, but you needed a parade following
00:11:14.300
My God, your obsessive, unquenchable need for affirmation.
00:11:21.700
Have you noticed that nobody else walks around every day demanding that the entire world
00:11:31.940
No one has lived their life that way, walking around looking for affirmation.
00:11:39.760
The idea that you're going to walk out your door and you need to be affirmed by people?
00:11:51.700
You couldn't just believe whatever you believed about yourself.
00:11:54.740
Nobody can stop you from having a belief about yourself.
00:12:04.100
You wanted society to be restructured around your self-perceptions.
00:12:10.680
You wanted to induct countless children into your confusion, baptize them into it, so that
00:12:16.940
the confusion you foster in them might affirm the confusion you harbor in your own minds.
00:12:22.160
You pretended that you wanted freedom, but you had that.
00:12:31.500
There were no laws saying that if you're a man and you want to put on a dress and walk around,
00:12:42.080
Now, you had the freedom, but you wanted a lot more than that.
00:12:48.980
You wanted to reshape our entire culture in your image.
00:13:04.080
And what we are saying to you, some of us, is no.
00:13:21.900
You are the mouse who wanted a cookie, and you were given the cookie, and you ate it,
00:13:27.100
but then you wanted to eat everything else in the house, too.
00:13:29.520
Some people object, finally object, and you break down in tears like a child who has to leave the playground.
00:13:39.000
You push too far, way too far, and now this is the pushback.
00:14:08.520
You know, we all hope that we'll never need life insurance, but mortgage payments, child care, other expenses,
00:14:14.140
If you have a family like I do, and then you already have plenty of things to worry about, just like I do,
00:14:19.900
in a worst-case scenario, you wouldn't want them to have to worry about money.
00:14:23.900
You want to give them peace of mind and also security if anything ever happens to you.
00:14:27.960
A good life insurance plan can give you peace of mind that if something happens to you, your family will have a safety net so that they can get back on their feet and focus on what's most important.

00:15:11.200
So I'm very happy to be here, by the way, to be alive, actually.
00:15:15.360
On Friday, I'd have to tell you, I had one of those airplane experiences where people clap when the plane lands.
00:15:23.820
And that's, I don't think, I think that's the first time I've had that.
00:15:29.280
You know, when people are, when people are applauding, because they're applauding that you're not, that we're not all dead in a fiery inferno.
00:15:34.960
That's what they're actually applauding, which is kind of dark when you think about it.
00:15:39.300
There's a big windstorm and 60 mile per hour winds and power lines are being knocked down all over the place.
00:16:00.700
We got to, we got to circle around because it's not safe right now.
00:16:02.780
And then he comes on and about 20 minutes later and says, and these are his words.
00:16:06.980
He says, this is, okay, folks, we're going to try to land.
00:16:19.900
It's, it's not the effort that counts when it comes to landing the plane.
00:16:22.500
I want to hear, oh, hey, okay, folks, we're going to land the plane now.
00:16:26.240
Instead, it's, well, we're going to give it a, we're going to give it our best shot.
00:16:30.620
And we did get it on the land, on the, on the ground.
00:16:33.260
And, and the plane was shaking all over the place.
00:16:36.620
And it was people were, there was someone behind us throwing up and everything.
00:16:42.900
And we pull up to the gate and the pilot walks out of the cockpit and he looks frazzled.
00:16:48.660
Like, this is not how a pilot is supposed to look after a flight.
00:16:52.500
And he actually says, and I'm quoting him directly, as he's going, he's going to the bathroom.
00:16:56.840
As he goes in the bathroom, he goes, that was dicey.
00:17:04.360
At least he didn't say that over the, the intercom.
00:17:06.680
Okay, folks, it's going to get a little dicey, but we're going to try it.
00:17:09.340
All right, we'll start with this Daily Wire host, Daily Wire reports, rather.
00:17:16.160
Fox News host Tucker Carlson released new surveillance footage from the January 6th riot
00:17:19.760
that appears to show two Capitol Police officers escorting Jacob Chansley,
00:17:23.420
known as the QAnon shaman, throughout the building.
00:17:26.680
Carlson released the footage after being given exclusive access by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
00:17:35.840
Virtually every moment of his time inside the Capitol was caught on tape.
00:17:38.680
Carlson said during the segment, the tape show, the Capitol Police never stopped Jacob Chansley.
00:17:45.820
Actually, we have this video, this clip, so we'll play that for you.
00:17:49.180
And this again is, this is the QAnon shaman, the guy with the Buffalo helmet.
00:17:53.960
And what you have to keep in mind as you watch this video is that he got,
00:17:57.700
I think it was three and a half years in prison.
00:17:59.260
He got over three years in prison for what you're about to see in this clip.
00:18:04.640
Jacob Chansley became the face of January 6th, a dangerous conspiracy theorist dressed in outlandish
00:18:11.700
costume who led the violent insurrection to overthrow American democracy.
00:18:16.580
For these crimes, Chansley was sentenced to nearly four years in prison, far more time
00:18:23.380
What did Jacob Chansley do to receive this punishment?
00:18:27.600
To this day, there is dispute over how Chansley got into the Capitol building.
00:18:31.900
But according to our review of the internal surveillance video,
00:18:35.340
it is very clear what happened once he got inside.
00:18:38.860
Virtually every moment of his time inside the Capitol was caught on tape.
00:18:43.320
The tapes show that Capitol Police never stopped Jacob Chansley.
00:18:51.240
Here's video of Chansley in the Senate chamber.
00:18:54.120
Capitol Police officers take him to multiple entrances and even try to open locked doors for him.
00:19:00.420
We counted at least nine officers who were within touching distance of unarmed Jacob Chansley.
00:19:10.040
Chansley understood that Capitol Police were his allies.
00:19:13.480
Video shows him giving thanks for them in a prayer on the floor of the Senate.
00:19:18.240
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for paying the inspiration needed to these police officers to allow us in this building.
00:19:26.760
Okay, so when you look at the footage, and if you're listening to the audio podcast,
00:19:31.700
and you haven't seen the footage, you have to go and find it online.
00:19:33.760
You can see it because the descriptions don't even do it justice.
00:19:37.020
I mean, it looks like if you had no context at all,
00:19:43.420
If you had no context and you saw a shirtless man in a Buffalo helmet being escorted through the Capitol building
00:19:48.500
by not just like one officer, but a whole squad of them.
00:19:53.980
I don't know what, without any context, what in the world you would think was happening.
00:19:56.920
But I guess I would imagine that it was a very weird private tour that he was being given of the Capitol.
00:20:07.580
They gave this guy a tour of the Capitol, and they let him in, and they let him walk around.
00:20:16.320
Oh, by the way, that thing that we let you do, and we didn't just let you do it.
00:20:22.480
Yeah, we're going to put you in jail for three and a half years for that.
00:20:27.120
This is cruel and unusual punishment, for one thing.
00:20:34.960
It's not as though, okay, it'd be one thing if there was footage of Chansley running in there violently.
00:20:43.020
Maybe he's got a weapon, and he's shooting and everything.
00:20:46.600
And the police officers back down to protect their own safety.
00:20:49.940
And then because of that, he's able to go ahead and do what he wants to do.
00:20:54.180
Well, in that case, yeah, you arrest him, you throw him, and you throw the book at him.
00:21:01.580
They could have easily stopped him from doing it.
00:21:06.720
Okay, in the footage you see there, it's like 10 against 1.
00:21:09.760
And he doesn't show any propensity for violence at all.
00:21:16.680
Now, should he have known that this is a very strange thing?
00:21:27.060
The fact that they're letting me do this is really weird.
00:21:34.020
Like, obviously, on his part, this was very stupid.
00:21:36.260
And that's been the case all along with the generosity.
00:21:39.560
I mean, the whole thing, on the part of the people going into the Capitol, you're walking
00:21:50.400
And it was inevitable from the beginning that they're going to come after you and try to
00:21:57.980
Does that make it the darkest day in the history of our democracy?
00:22:04.740
Does that mean that our democracy was hanging in the balance?
00:22:10.360
All of the rhetoric that you hear about how our democracy, it was almost the end of our
00:22:18.860
You look at that video and tell me, that's what an overthrow of the government looks like?
00:22:23.000
It looks like a guy just casually sauntering through the Capitol building, accompanied by, you know, a whole
00:22:31.480
squadron of armed police officers that have no problem with him being there.
00:22:37.160
One thing we don't have is, what was the conversation like between, what were they saying?
00:22:46.800
And it didn't appear that they were saying anything like, get the hell out of here.
00:22:53.800
They're just strolling around, having a conversation.
00:22:55.880
So this was, what does Jacob Chansley and many of these other January 6ers, what are they
00:23:04.780
That's what, the big insurrection was in fact a, it was a, it was an episode of trespassing.
00:23:14.960
And it should have been treated with the same severity that they treated all of the many
00:23:22.540
trespassers during the BLM riots, which of course was with no severity whatsoever.
00:23:29.300
Only, well, I should amend that actually, because the BLM riots, the people trespassing
00:23:33.200
there, that was a lot worse because they did, you know, the BLM writers did.
00:23:36.680
And I know we hear this comparison all the time, but it's an important point that we
00:23:42.840
The BLM writers, they, for example, broke into a police station in the middle of Minneapolis
00:23:58.860
The police officers fled for fear of their lives.
00:24:01.820
And then it was in, the building was torched and burned to the ground.
00:24:06.620
Compare that to this where they're walking them through the building.
00:24:11.160
The police officers are walking them through, giving them a tour.
00:24:14.740
But we throw the book at the guy, three and a half years for the guy that was given, you
00:24:19.420
know, what turns out to be an unsanctioned illegal tour.
00:24:30.920
Going back, there's a little bit more from the Daily Wire report.
00:24:37.100
So there's a lot more that we're going to find out.
00:24:39.520
He also released footage of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick that he claims was taken
00:24:43.740
after he was supposedly murdered by the mob outside.
00:24:47.200
The New York Times initially claimed in a report that Sicknick was killed when he was
00:24:53.460
struck in the head with a fire extinguisher by rioters.
00:24:55.540
The newspaper later retracted the report after an autopsy found that he died from a stroke
00:24:59.580
So there's also footage that you can see where Sicknick is, this is after he was allegedly
00:25:07.240
assaulted and killed, is what we were originally told by media reports, while he's walking around.
00:25:11.420
Appears to be perfectly fine, perfectly good health.
00:25:17.680
And there was never any evidence from the autopsy that his death was in any way caused by, you
00:25:27.140
This was not a, this was not, he suffered blunt force trauma to his head, and then he
00:25:32.960
Okay, if that happened, then clearly he was killed.
00:25:42.140
Any attempt to link it to January 6th is tenuous and speculative at best, which is why no one's
00:25:50.740
ever been arrested for murdering Brian Sicknick, because nobody did.
00:25:53.020
Okay, if they were able to tie this to some, if they were able to tie his death directly
00:26:02.720
Okay, one thing we know is they're not looking to go easy on these people, to put it mildly.
00:26:09.940
So, the footage, a lot more footage I think still to come, but it tells an important story,
00:26:15.260
a very different story from what we're told by the media, as always.
00:26:17.880
Yahoo reports, Walmart announced its plan to close its final two locations in Portland,
00:26:23.720
Oregon, at the end of March, following underwhelming financial results.
00:26:28.180
Quote, we have nearly 5,000 stores across the U.S., and unfortunately, some do not meet
00:26:34.900
While our underlying business is strong, these specific stores haven't performed as well
00:26:39.840
The closures, which will result in nearly 600 employees being laid off, come after a statement
00:26:44.080
by Walmart CEO Doug McMillan in December 2022, noting that record-breaking retail theft had
00:26:50.880
undercut the company's economic performance of late.
00:26:58.620
Prices will be higher and or stores will close because of the theft.
00:27:03.780
And now, just as predicted by the CEO of Walmart, they are, in fact, closing all of the stores
00:27:11.200
Now, think about how much of a hellhole of a city you have to be if you can't even keep
00:27:34.440
Your Walmart, okay, the Walmart in your town should stay open no matter what happens.
00:27:49.380
There could be an asteroid strike and Walmart will stay open.
00:27:52.440
There could be a nuclear holocaust and the only two things left alive are cockroaches and
00:28:11.660
But this is really a perfect story in many ways because I think it shows a few things.
00:28:15.900
And first, first is that this is social justice on the left.
00:28:21.780
You know, we, the term woke, the woke mob or woke people seems to have supplanted SJW,
00:28:28.940
But, um, I kind of preferred social justice warrior because, because it, it, it shows and
00:28:36.220
emphasizes the fact illustrates how to them, this is what they considered.
00:28:40.980
This is their, when they talk about justice, this is what they mean.
00:28:43.340
So social justice, justice to them is letting, for example, random crooks and thieves and social
00:28:54.300
We've, we've heard everyone at the highest levels.
00:28:57.680
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez infamously has justified mass looting by saying, oh, they're just looking
00:29:02.740
for bread because they're hungry, even though as always, like the one thing, anytime there's mass
00:29:07.600
looting or mass, uh, uh, shoplifting, the one aisle they don't hit is the bread aisle.
00:29:13.440
I, I, we've seen so many videos in recent years and especially recent months of people walking
00:29:19.220
into these kinds of stores with grocery bags and just throwing things into them and walking right
00:29:24.840
So, but you, they never, they're never in the bread aisle.
00:29:28.060
You know, have you noticed that they're never throwing, uh, like potato bread and whole wheat
00:29:32.060
into the bag, maybe grabbing some peanut butter and jelly on the way.
00:29:37.220
But what they're always taking is consumer goods, electronics, uh, alcohol, like makeup,
00:29:50.820
And the cost is that it destroys the local economy.
00:29:57.540
It puts thousands of people out of work and it plunges your community further into poverty.
00:30:07.820
That's why we, it's, uh, you know, the personification of justice with the scales, you know, justice is
00:30:14.200
all about, so it's always about weighing two things, one thing against another.
00:30:21.420
And in this case, what they're saying is that the desire of random hoodlums to steal outweighs
00:30:29.880
the needs of the community to have a job, to have a place where they can buy goods that
00:30:35.520
they need for their family, to have, you know, economic prosperity.
00:30:38.940
So the need of the hoodlums to just steal whatever they want, that outweighs.
00:30:41.980
That's a, that's, that is a, that is a greater concern, they're saying.
00:30:48.040
Um, and it also shows too that, uh, as much as they want to hide behind, whether it's shoplifting
00:30:55.440
or, or the looting or what, you know, happens during BLM riots, and they, they, they always
00:31:00.380
want to pretend that, well, this is only, this is happening to corporations and they have
00:31:04.820
And so, yeah, they're burning down, uh, uh, or they're, they're burning down or cleaning
00:31:09.480
out a CVS or Walgreens or Walmart, but these are big corporations.
00:31:12.640
They're run by the wealthy fat cats who fly private jets around.
00:31:19.980
And it's true that like, I don't, I don't sit around every day worrying about the financial,
00:31:32.880
I don't wake up in the morning wondering how Doug McMillan of Walmart's doing, but the problem
00:31:40.380
is that you're not just going after the corporation.
00:31:45.060
This is not, the corporation is not the victim of mass shoplifting.
00:31:51.860
It's all the people who have jobs there and now they don't anymore because you robbed the
00:32:05.700
And also, yes, the people that there's a reason why Walmart's thrive is because very
00:32:12.120
They have everything that you need and they're just cheaper than anything else in town.
00:32:17.780
And so if you're, if you're a low income American, then that's why Walmart is very important to
00:32:24.700
you because you can get what you need, get it all in one place.
00:32:27.160
Uh, and, uh, and you can get it for a much more affordable price than anywhere else.
00:32:32.940
And so you're also victimizing those people who don't have that option anymore.
00:32:37.180
Do you think, uh, I, after this story was, uh, posted by Yahoo and I saw people reacting
00:32:42.340
And one thing that I heard a lot is that, um, well, uh, it's okay.
00:32:49.560
So we get rid of Walmart and, and it was mom and pop stores will go in their place.
00:32:55.460
Now we're getting back to the mom and pop stores.
00:33:00.140
That's not going to, what if Walmart cannot, um, absorb the losses of all the stealing and
00:33:07.580
theft and the way that, that, that the community treats it, you think a mom and pop store can,
00:33:13.640
you think mom and pop stores are going to say, well, Walmart couldn't survive here.
00:33:19.840
No, the shoplifters will take out a mom and pop store in like 30 minutes.
00:33:27.340
They'll do it to a mom and pop store in less than a day.
00:33:32.320
Cause the shoplifters, but they, these are ethical shoplifters and they would never target a small
00:33:43.160
They don't, they, they care about nothing and nobody but themselves.
00:33:48.280
And any small businesses that try to fill the void that they'll be taken out to.
00:33:53.540
In a heartbeat, Jill Biden, PhD was, uh, asked about whether her husband would undergo any
00:34:00.500
cognitive tests before running for office again.
00:34:05.000
Nikki Haley, one of the Republican candidates is calling for mental competency tests for those
00:34:20.280
I mean, we haven't even discussed, we would never even discuss something like that.
00:34:27.740
Uh, yeah, it's, it's, it's ridiculous that anybody would want to know whether the president
00:34:43.620
Like to what extent, um, is he even aware of his surroundings?
00:34:49.500
And if you want to know that it's actually ridiculous, a ridiculous thing to want to know.
00:34:54.220
She was also asked, I think we have this clip, but she was, uh, she was asked more sort of
00:34:59.480
generally about his age and, you know, how, uh, how the voters should interpret that and
00:35:06.460
whether they should be concerned about the fact that he's so old.
00:35:12.120
If he wins a second term, he would be 82 at inauguration.
00:35:16.600
What do you say to those people who say maybe he's too old to be president?
00:35:20.980
Are those fair questions and conversations to be having?
00:35:29.780
Look at how, um, physically he's got the good bill of health from the doctors through his
00:35:37.580
But how many 30 year olds could travel to Poland, get on the train, go nine more hours, go to
00:36:04.920
We are, we are looking at the man and what he's doing and what he's not able to do, such
00:36:12.100
Uh, we're looking at all of that and that's what we're concerned about.
00:36:14.940
It's so sad that she, she's doing her best to prove that he's still spry and energetic and
00:36:22.280
And so the best she could do is say, what 30 year old could fly to Poland and get on
00:36:39.680
Um, I don't know, any, any 30 year old could do that?
00:36:43.860
Who, who could go to Ukraine and meet with President Zelensky?
00:36:46.840
Um, I don't know, like half of the country apparently has been to Ukraine and met with
00:36:51.960
Every left wing celebrity and Democrat, they just said Janet Yellen, treasury secretary
00:36:57.900
was it, was in, uh, touring Ukraine and talking to the president.
00:37:04.280
She's in fact, it makes a lot of sense for her to be there because they have so much of
00:37:06.620
our money that now, uh, that she's like the financial advisor now to Zelensky, but everyone
00:37:20.340
It's not like she's caught off guard by the question.
00:37:25.420
So the best she could do to prove that she came in prepared, like I'm going to prove that
00:37:30.640
my husband, he needs another four years and he can work till he's 86 and it won't be a
00:37:35.720
And the best she could do is, well, look at him.
00:37:40.720
He can walk down steps without falling sometimes.
00:37:50.340
Finally from CNN, there is, uh, just one line in this report that I enjoyed.
00:37:54.760
This says, uh, Pete Buttigieg admits he got it wrong on the Ohio train derailment response.
00:37:59.560
But while the criticism is fair, he says the critics are mostly not.
00:38:03.240
It's really rich to see some of these folks, the former president, these Foxos who are literally
00:38:07.640
lifelong card carrying members of the East coast elite, whose top economic policy priority
00:38:12.540
has always been tax cut for the wealthy and who wouldn't know their way around a TJ Maxx if
00:38:16.640
their life depended on it to be presenting themselves as if they genuinely care about
00:38:22.000
The treasury secretary said, you think Tucker Carlson knows the difference between a TJ Maxx
00:38:28.220
So that's how you determine whether someone is in touch with the common man.
00:38:32.680
If they can tell the difference between a, between a TJ Maxx and a Kohl's.
00:38:35.820
Well then I guess, I guess no man is in touch with the common man because none of us could,
00:38:44.140
TJ Maxx, Kohl's, Marshall's, they're all exactly the same and they're always in the
00:38:49.340
same shopping centers together and nobody knows the difference.
00:38:52.840
Like you go to these places and, uh, I used to live where there was a TJ Maxx and a Kohl's
00:38:56.860
right there and it was, it was always bewildering whenever my wife forced me to go into these
00:39:01.100
places and it already, if I'm, if I'm going to, into a retail outlet with her, my, my sense
00:39:06.900
of time and place has already been warped and I don't know exactly what's going on, but
00:39:10.880
I could never tell which store I was in at any given moment.
00:39:14.200
They both have clearance racks full of quadruple XL jean shorts.
00:39:18.120
They both have random items strewn all over the place.
00:39:20.940
They both have these, uh, big bins of like socks that look like they've already been worn
00:39:27.100
Um, and they both fill me with, they both, they both fill me with the same feeling of
00:39:31.160
despair when I'm, when I'm in any of these places.
00:39:34.280
And this is the illustration that Buttigieg comes up with.
00:39:38.240
It, I must say it is the gayest litmus test I've ever heard.
00:39:44.680
And it's unfair because it's not really testing whether Tucker Carlson is middle class or not,
00:39:49.080
which we know he's not, but it's testing whether he is straight or not, which apparently he
00:39:53.680
is if he can't tell the difference between the two.
00:39:55.020
No straight man of any income bracket can speak with authority about the fine distinctions
00:40:05.000
We walk around bored and depressed and despondent.
00:40:08.000
Our wives hold up these, you know, off-brand button downs and say, this would look nice
00:40:19.680
That's the kind of relationship that straight men have with places like that.
00:40:23.100
But Pete Buttigieg cannot relate to our lived experience.
00:40:29.100
I'm just wondering, what is he going to come up with next?
00:40:30.880
You know, it'll be like, uh, these elitist white men, you know, they, they don't, they
00:40:43.840
Once in a generation political talent, though, is what we're told.
00:40:48.820
This guy's going to really play in the, uh, in the rust belt, they tell us.
00:41:01.360
Many Americans have lost faith in the government, media, schools.
00:41:04.500
The good news is that there's something you can do to help get the country back on track.
00:41:08.300
PragerU is an educational nonprofit that's fighting to save the future of America.
00:41:13.140
Uh, and we've been working with PragerU for a long time.
00:41:18.000
And I've been a consumer of their, of their content and a student of theirs for, uh, for
00:41:25.840
Their content is watched 5 million times a day.
00:41:28.620
PragerU, a video spread messages of liberty, economic freedom, and Judeo-Christian values
00:41:34.200
There truly is hope for America, but only if we reach more young people and PragerU needs
00:41:41.180
So go to PragerU.com and make a tax-deductible donation.
00:41:44.600
Whatever you give right now will be matched and, um, and it will have twice the impact.
00:41:54.000
These are, this is the kind of math problem I can do.
00:41:58.080
Go to PragerU.com to make a tax-deductible donation.
00:42:04.200
Mal says, the counter to the bystander effect is the first penguin effect.
00:42:09.580
Penguins will stand on the cliff staring at the water until one dives in.
00:42:12.840
When they're all, when they all start going at that point, the more people see people willing
00:42:19.540
Um, I don't think that's the counter to the bystander effect so much as it is the, it's the,
00:42:25.180
it's like the inverse of the, of the bystander effect, but it's the same psychological principle
00:42:29.520
that people, and you're right though, that, uh, you know, may, if you want to look at
00:42:34.520
that as the, I'm not gonna call it the positive side of it, but, um, yeah, it, it, if people
00:42:42.020
look around and they see that no one's doing anything about something, then they're less
00:42:45.640
But if someone stands up and says, okay, I'll do it, then more people will join in, uh,
00:42:50.280
which, which yes, that, that does encourage us to be, you know, be the, I don't know if
00:42:54.660
I like this slogan exactly, but penguins are not, they don't have quite the, the tough militant
00:43:01.000
But if you want the slogan to be, be the first penguin, then, uh, then I could see that,
00:43:05.980
that someone has to stand up and be the first and then other people will follow.
00:43:10.460
The other thing to do, this is another way of saying, call it the bystander effect.
00:43:13.340
I think we might, we, we might, uh, be better off calling it the follower effect.
00:43:17.880
And most people, most people are inclined to be followers, not everybody, you know, it's
00:43:25.420
Someone with real leadership traits, who is, uh, eager and willing to stand up and be
00:43:31.480
the first to do someone, to be the first in line, to, you know, to, to, to be out on
00:43:35.380
the front lines of any given fight, um, to go out on a limb, to, to say, yeah, I don't
00:43:40.840
know if people are going to follow me down this path, but I'm going to go.
00:43:46.400
Not very many people typically are willing to do that.
00:43:49.040
Most people are, you know, they follow in, they fall into this follower sort of, uh,
00:43:57.160
Jake says, if we're affirming everybody, my two-year-old keeps asking to have my beer.
00:44:00.780
I asked if he's old enough and he said, yes, confused on how to handle this.
00:44:08.080
Um, yeah, well, this, this is why I always make the point, uh, with all these, whether
00:44:14.480
it's driving or alcohol or tobacco or, uh, tattoos or purchasing firearms, like all these
00:44:21.260
things at almost everyone agrees that there should be certainly an age limit.
00:44:27.920
And most people agree that the age limit should be 18, should be adult, or if not higher than
00:44:33.240
The alcohol example in particular is, uh, I think especially devastating to the, you
00:44:39.240
know, the people that trans kids, the, the, the gender ideologue proponents, the alcohol
00:44:43.080
example is especially devastating because we don't even, it's, it's at least, and this might
00:44:46.880
be different in other, in other parts of the world, in other countries like in Europe, but
00:44:49.460
here, even when you become an adult, you still have to wait three more years before we as
00:44:57.440
society are willing to, uh, you know, give you legal access to, uh, you know, a beer with
00:45:08.360
Now, obviously a great many, uh, young people access that alcohol anyway, even though they're
00:45:12.860
not legally able to, but, but that's what, that's what the law says.
00:45:17.180
So even when you're eight, you become a legal adult, you are still three years away from
00:45:22.300
being, from us trusting you to legally purchase a Miller Lite.
00:45:30.300
And yet we have the radical life-altering, body-altering, body-destroying surgeries that
00:45:47.700
Becky says, keep saying it, Matt, white men have done amazing things throughout history.
00:45:53.280
Well, they have, we went over some of that last week on the show and, um, we should be
00:45:59.100
able to say, you know, one thing I wanted to say about that is, you know, the response
00:46:06.040
is always that, well, uh, white men have always been celebrated and who hasn't heard about
00:46:10.340
all these, you know, all these, all these people and pioneers and inventors and founding
00:46:16.280
And they were white men and we've all heard about them and they've been celebrated.
00:46:19.620
And so, and so that's why we don't need, we don't need a, a, a celebration of white men
00:46:24.500
We don't need a white history month or a male history month.
00:46:29.200
But, but the answer to that is, first of all, these days, yeah, we hear about these various
00:46:35.300
founders and pioneers and everything, but we hear about how problematic, problematic they
00:46:39.540
were and, uh, and how, well, you think that these were great men, but actually here's the
00:46:45.500
And we see that their statues are being torn down and all the rest of it.
00:46:52.080
But also if they are celebrated, it's never, you know, no one ever says, look at this great
00:46:58.640
thing that the white male Benjamin Franklin did, the white male Thomas Edison did.
00:47:04.700
So the fact that they're white male, that is not pointed out.
00:47:08.380
Whereas with anyone else in any other group, they're going to be celebrated, not just for
00:47:15.560
their individual achievements, but it's also going to be pointed out that, hey, look at
00:47:23.640
So the identity group is, is identified and pointed out.
00:47:28.860
And then the celebration is not just of the individual, but the entire group.
00:47:33.920
And yet with this one particular group, you're not allowed to do that.
00:47:38.520
And then finally, the rich meister says, Matt, the only time you should be concerned about
00:47:46.520
a young pilot is if his name is Sum Ting Wong or Wu Wee Too Low, Holy Fook or Bang Ding
00:48:00.460
And I shouldn't be laughing at that because it is so dumb.
00:48:02.900
But, um, but also funny and you're also, you're right that we should, you know, I, uh, that's
00:48:09.400
why I said, I, I, um, I may have some ageism when it comes to pilots.
00:48:14.300
I may have some sexism, but, uh, it's not, it's not a race or ethnicity thing.
00:48:18.520
So I would be perfectly happy with an Asian pilot, as you point out, um, as well.
00:48:23.740
So as long as they're men between the ages of 40 and 65, that's all.
00:48:29.100
Back in 2021, during a five-hour hearing before Congress, Mark Zuckerberg admitted that he
00:48:36.640
That should have been enough to make you think twice about letting your kids use any social
00:48:41.520
Well, there's a new book out, um, published by DW Books, written by Bethany Mandel and,
00:48:47.560
And it drives this point home in, um, I think really compelling fashion.
00:48:51.660
It's called Stolen Youth, How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence and Indoctrinating a Generation.
00:48:55.820
When I read, uh, this passage, I wanted to basically delete every social media app I have
00:49:03.800
TikTok was the center of a 2021 Wall Street Journal investigation, which uncovered how the
00:49:08.040
app targets users with content revolving around sex, drugs, eating disorders, and more, calling
00:49:14.740
Investigators created 31 accounts registered to young teens and turned them loose to browse
00:49:19.440
TikTok's For You feed, which is the highly personalized, never-ending feed curated by the algorithm.
00:49:24.940
The article explained, quote, an analysis of the video served to these accounts found that
00:49:29.440
through its powerful algorithms, TikTok can quickly drive minors, among the biggest users
00:49:33.140
of the app, into endless spools of content about sex and drugs.
00:49:36.840
TikTok served one account registered as a 13-year-old, at least 569 videos about drug use, references
00:49:42.800
to cocaine and meth addiction, and promotional videos for online sales of drug products and
00:49:48.260
Hundreds of similar videos appeared in the feeds of the journal's other minor accounts.
00:49:56.120
Radicals want your children sick and corrupted.
00:49:59.960
But the good news is, you can fight back if you know how, and you've got to get the book
00:50:03.400
Stolen Youth, How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence and Indoctrinating a Generation, which comes
00:50:08.180
Order your copy on Amazon or wherever you get books, but make sure you do it right now.
00:50:14.320
Last year, Showtime produced and aired a four-part documentary called We Need to Talk About Cosby.
00:50:27.260
And if this clip, which went viral this week after the series aired on the BBC, is any indication,
00:50:32.080
then there's no reason for me to change that policy.
00:50:35.720
In the clip, we're treated to some insight from Sona Lee Rachetuar, who is a non-binary
00:50:41.340
sex therapist who goes by they, he pronouns, which means that she's a female.
00:50:46.660
So her personal pronouns are all of the pronouns except the right ones.
00:50:51.680
So she'll take any of them as long as it's not right.
00:50:53.760
And if those credentials don't impress you, though, I should also mention that she is
00:51:02.460
And I can say that because that's how she identifies herself.
00:51:04.860
She calls herself on her website, the fat sex therapist.
00:51:08.680
And the website, speaking of, also contains this description of her work.
00:51:15.380
Sona Lee Rachetuar is an award-winning clinical social worker, sex therapist, adjunct lecturer,
00:51:22.860
They are a, they are a superset, wait, superset, I think I might have put that one.
00:51:29.260
They are a super queer bisexual non-binary therapist and co-owner of Radical Therapy Center,
00:51:35.800
specializing in treating sexual trauma, diet trauma, racial or immigrant trauma, and South
00:51:43.980
Okay, so if you suffered from North Asian family abuse, I guess you're out of luck, I guess.
00:51:47.900
Now, most of this sounds like nonsense to me, but she does deserve credit, at least, for
00:51:56.380
I mean, as we can see, she has clearly been extremely successful in staving off trauma related
00:52:03.120
So if you're worried about being traumatized by dieting, she's definitely the person you
00:52:08.120
But that isn't really the point we need to focus on, especially because her website is
00:52:19.240
Sexuality is morphed by the pressures of compounding oppressions, which is why I offer solution-focused
00:52:26.000
workshops that affirm the colonized experience and contribute to the radical imagination of
00:52:33.760
We must unlearn the ways that we have been forced to exist within what is considered normal
00:52:38.260
and begin to imagine the ways that we can flourish outside of those pressurized systems.
00:52:42.900
By aggregating individual forms of sexual resistance, I am able to weave together workshops explaining
00:52:49.220
broader ideas of collective sexual liberation, centering conversations around pleasure and body
00:52:54.700
liberation, we can better imagine how joy will lead us to revolution.
00:53:00.120
Now that all reads as if it was written by some kind of random woke word generator.
00:53:05.080
Leftist buzzwords are combined with academic-sounding jargon and weird psychobabble, with little
00:53:11.320
attempt made to form them into actual coherent sentences.
00:53:15.080
Which is how you end up with gems like the phrase aggregating individual forms.
00:53:21.320
Whatever sexual resistance is supposed to be, I'm not quite sure how it can be aggregated.
00:53:26.200
This is what happens when a person with an IQ of 95 uses a thesaurus to try and make her writing
00:53:32.620
It's a common pitfall of a certain type of dumb person, where they are given to believe that in
00:53:38.420
order to sound intelligent, you must be unintelligible.
00:53:41.800
Which is like the opposite of how it's supposed to work.
00:53:45.180
But this is perhaps more information than you needed to know about this person, but it does
00:53:53.380
Though the context won't make it any less horrifying than it is.
00:53:57.220
If we actually grappled with the fact that sex negativity is what causes this type of
00:54:03.560
behavior, then we could create a world where in an idyllically sex-positive world, someone
00:54:12.680
is able to pay conscious women to come and be drugged so that I can get my kink out, my fetish
00:54:26.340
Bill Cosby, he wasn't a serial rapist, as she explains.
00:54:32.200
He was the victim of a world that isn't sex-positive enough.
00:54:36.540
If only he had had an outlet to, as she says, get his kink out, then he wouldn't have been
00:54:44.880
Now, this is, of course, disgusting and depraved.
00:54:46.800
It's no wonder that a woman with no concept of physical health would also have such deluded
00:54:51.760
ideas about what is sexually and morally healthy as well.
00:54:55.500
But she does help us to see, I think, two important points.
00:54:58.460
First point is this, that we need to get back to kink shaming.
00:55:11.000
There should be a lot of shame being heaped on many of these kinks and fetishes that are
00:55:19.400
In our culture, we have this notion that a person's kinks, their sexual habits and desires
00:55:27.020
The worst thing we could ever do is critique or interrogate someone else's sexual proclivities.
00:55:32.820
Sona Lee is simply standing at the logical endpoint of that idea.
00:55:37.860
If we mustn't kink shame, if we must pretend that all sex is good or at least morally neutral
00:55:43.380
so long as it's allegedly consensual, then even rape becomes its own, as she says, kink
00:56:03.520
Okay, sex is an interaction with another human being.
00:56:09.640
There's no interaction to begin with that's morally neutral.
00:56:13.580
But in this case, it's the most intimate sort of interaction.
00:56:17.100
It involves the most intimate sort of physical contact.
00:56:19.940
You are engaging with someone who is in their most vulnerable state, both physically and emotionally
00:56:27.100
Sex is an act laden with consequence, potentially serious consequences.
00:56:34.300
Of course, there are proper ways to go about it and improper ways.
00:56:40.940
The problem with many kinks that we are supposed to accept or even celebrate these days, including
00:56:45.380
the one that the fat sex therapist is talking about, though certainly not just that one,
00:56:49.740
is that they don't respect the dignity and God-given value of the other person involved.
00:56:57.780
So often, these are things that are degraded and disgusting and perverse.
00:57:02.220
There are proper ways and improper ways of interacting with someone in even a casual environment.
00:57:11.160
But sex is not casual, no matter how much we try to pretend otherwise.
00:57:14.080
And so if there's a right and wrong way for even casual interactions between humans to go,
00:57:20.000
then how much more must that be the case for sexual interactions?
00:57:26.180
A kink may be performed consensually, but it can still be deeply disordered and degrading.
00:57:38.520
If you have a weird, gross sexual fetish, you should be asking yourself why you have it.
00:57:46.900
What is it about this depraved activity that you find so appealing?
00:57:51.300
You see, we live in a society that is obsessed with desire.
00:57:55.100
All we care about is what someone desires, what they want.
00:57:59.420
So we're obsessed with desire, and yet we're so incredibly incurious about it at the same time.
00:58:04.060
We never ask why a person has a certain desire.
00:58:07.380
All we know is that they desire what they desire, and so they should go off and try to obtain whatever they desire.
00:58:13.420
But there are some desires that should not be pursued.
00:58:20.960
In the case of a desire to, you know, have sex with unconscious people, as this woman is talking about,
00:58:26.840
the warning sign is more like an alarm bell blaring at 100 decibels,
00:58:32.500
indicating that something is deeply wrong in the person's mind and soul.
00:58:37.380
We should be investigating what is wrong rather than telling people to ignore it
00:58:41.580
in the mindless pursuit of satisfying whatever disgusting urge enters into their head.
00:58:48.900
All of this begins to make sense as soon as we realize that consent-based morality,
00:58:56.200
morality that is merely consent-based, is not just wrong but catastrophic to any culture that tries to adopt it.
00:59:07.880
There has to be more to morality, especially sexual morality, than mere consent.
00:59:14.480
Obviously, all sexual activity must be consensual.
00:59:17.640
Obviously, it's a horrible evil to force yourself on someone violating their consent.
00:59:22.280
But the problem is that that is where our culture wants to end the conversation.
00:59:28.980
It's just the beginning of the conversation about what entails, you know, a healthy, good sex life.
00:59:39.120
But what our culture says is that if the sex is consensual, then that's all there is to say about it.
00:59:45.280
All sex is good so long as both people, or however many people, verbally agree to participate in it.
00:59:52.220
The flaw in this idea is that it emphasizes, it's not that it emphasizes consent, but that it only cares about consent.
01:00:03.840
And that's how you wind up with people like Sona Lee trying to find a consensual way for men like Bill Cosby to sexually violate unconscious women.
01:00:13.720
That's indeed how you end up with lots of disordered, harmful, damaging sexual behavior that is nonetheless accepted because it's consensual.
01:00:21.660
What we need to finally understand is that consent is not the one and only consideration.
01:00:27.080
While all non-consensual sex is automatically evil, it doesn't follow that all consensual sex is automatically good.
01:00:35.200
Because sex can still be degrading, demeaning, dehumanizing, even when the participants are engaged in the act by choice.
01:00:42.800
We see that consent on its own is a flimsy and insufficient framework for sexual morality.
01:00:49.800
This is also why people will, you know, very often will, these days, will engage in consensual sex with some random person that they met, you know, on Tinder or whatever.
01:01:01.780
And then they'll wake up the next day feeling regret.
01:01:06.800
They agreed, they consented, and yet now they regret it.
01:01:10.780
In fact, a person engaged in consensual sex not only regret it, but can wake up feeling used and exploited.
01:01:22.600
They consented to being used and exploited, but they were still used and exploited.
01:01:27.580
And they used and exploited their partner in equal measure.
01:01:30.360
That's what a lot of consensual sex, casual sex, that's what it is.
01:01:34.740
It is the mutual agreement for two people to use and exploit each other and then discard them.
01:01:43.460
But does that mean we can't say anything else to criticize treating each other this way?
01:01:54.480
Maybe this is not a path to fulfillment and happiness in life.
01:01:57.160
The thing is, in a situation like that, neither person was raped, but they did indulge in something shallow, loveless, and degrading.
01:02:05.280
And having casual sex, they allowed a stranger to use them as a glorified masturbatory aid.
01:02:14.660
But these feelings are inevitable when you divorce sex from love and from devotion and from fidelity and from concepts like dignity.
01:02:29.160
Rather than merely asking whether the sex is consensual, we should ask whether it is loving, whether it respects the dignity of the other person.
01:02:36.960
And the great thing is that this framework will obviously include consent, but then it goes much farther beyond that as it needs to.
01:02:51.000
This is something that's obvious to me and obvious to many people.
01:02:54.480
But, of course, to someone like Sona Lee, who makes it her whole life and her whole business to talk about sex, she can't see this insight at all.
