Today on The Matt Walsh Show, infamous male TikToker Dylan Mulvaney had a star-studded
00:00:04.480
extravaganza in New York celebrating his day 365 of girlhood. The entire Daily Wire lineup
00:00:09.760
made an appearance during the show. We'll play the clip and talk about it. Joe Biden lashes out
00:00:14.280
at those who want to protect children from abuse, calling us sinful. The president also uses an
00:00:18.740
alleged letter from a child to promote the gender wage gap myth. Netflix quietly cancels its kids
00:00:24.000
show featuring a non-binary bison. In our daily cancellation, a conservative author is ruthlessly
00:00:28.600
mocked by the left for not being able to define the word woke. But since when is the left in any
00:00:33.200
position to make fun of anyone else for not being able to define a word? We'll talk about all that
00:00:37.320
and much more today on The Matt Walsh Show. I'm sure you've all heard about the Silicon Valley
00:00:48.940
bank failure by now. It was the second largest bank failure in history and seems to be signaling an
00:00:53.620
even bigger problem with our entire banking system. Things are extremely turbulent right now in the
00:00:58.080
stock market, hates turbulence. You need to diversify at least some of your assets, therefore,
00:01:03.260
into precious metals. Gold is a tangible asset with a reliable store of value because it's not
00:01:07.380
tied to any one economy or currency. It can be a safe haven in times of crisis like right now,
00:01:12.620
for example. Birch gold makes it easy to roll over your IRA or 401k into an IRA backed by physical
00:01:17.540
gold and silver. Right now, if you buy gold, you can get a free safe to store it in. That's right.
00:01:23.640
On qualifying purchases now through March 31st, Birch Gold will ship a free safe directly to your
00:01:28.020
door. If you want to find out more about that, you can text Walsh to 989898 to claim your free info
00:01:32.940
kit on gold and to claim eligibility for your free safe as well. With your retirement at stake,
00:01:37.800
you want to be confident in the financial service companies that you work with, including whoever
00:01:42.420
you choose for purchasing physical precious metals as well. Text Walsh to 989898 and protect your
00:01:48.900
savings with gold today. This week, a male performance artist, Dylan Mulvaney, celebrated
00:01:54.540
his day 365 of womanhood. Actually, I need to correct myself. He calls it girlhood, not womanhood,
00:02:00.640
because this grown adult man is very specifically imitating an adolescent girl. It was day 365 of
00:02:07.840
girlhood then, to be precise. And I guess I need to correct myself again, because it was actually
00:02:12.260
day zero of girlhood. He has experienced precisely zero days of being a girl or a woman. A year
00:02:18.760
from now, he'll still be sitting at zero days. Another year after that, still zero days. A year
00:02:22.340
after that, zero days. And when he dies, he will leave this earth a man with zero days spent being
00:02:28.540
anything other than a man. And when archaeologists dig up his bones centuries from now, they will know
00:02:34.500
that they are the bones of a man. They won't know the preferred pronouns of the bones. They won't know
00:02:39.820
anything about the bones, except that they belong to a human male. When everything else is forgotten
00:02:45.720
about Dylan Mulvaney, and everything else will be forgotten about Dylan Mulvaney, the only fact that
00:02:50.620
will remain is the one fact he wants us to forget. So with those caveats, we turn to Mulvaney's day
00:02:57.500
365 celebration at the Rockefeller Center. Commemoration really began a day before when Mulvaney appeared on
00:03:05.000
Drew Barrymore's talk show and sat there with a pleased expression on his face when Barrymore
00:03:10.140
literally knelt at his feet and paid tribute to the trans deity. He went from there to the red carpet
00:03:17.840
and an even more adoring crowd. His day 365 included celebrity guests and big musical numbers.
00:03:24.760
He pranced around on stage and he basked in the applause of an adoring crowd who had all come out to
00:03:30.940
congratulate him for pretending to be a girl for the past year. A fawning article in Rolling Stone tells
00:03:36.700
us that Mulvaney spent a week rehearsing his day 365 performance. It also tells us that he started
00:03:43.140
developing the concept six months ago, which means that Mulvaney had only been quote unquote
00:03:48.960
transitioning into a quote unquote girl for six months when he decided that his transition needed
00:03:54.540
to be celebrated with a star studded gala in New York. But not everyone who starred in the show chose to
00:04:01.400
be a part of it. In fact, as it turns out, I made a cameo appearance along with the entire rest of the
00:04:07.640
Daily Wire crew because every good show needs a villain. And that was our role to play. Watch.
00:04:14.900
Things are going really well. Like I just had my first dance as a girl and oh, I can pay my bills and
00:04:22.780
I'm building up a following and I feel supported. And you know what? I'm feeling lucky. Let's Google my name.
00:04:29.000
Dylan Mulvaney is intentionally degrading women every time he does this woman face minstrel show
00:04:46.200
routine. He is insulting and demeaning them and doing it on purpose and profiting off of it. And he
00:04:52.760
doesn't care. If that is the most attractive you will ever look, then I don't even want to imagine
00:04:57.760
what you'll look like when you're at your ugliest. Documenting his creepy fetishized version of what
00:05:04.260
it means to be a girl. Well, Dylan Mulvaney has had some surgery to make his face look more like Bruce
00:05:08.740
Jenner's. Dylan Mulvaney has just given the best proof yet that transgenderism broadly, or at very
00:05:16.500
least the type of transgenderism that he suffers from, is a sexual fetish. I just want to stop it there
00:05:22.980
just for a second and say that this comment from Michael Knowles is way beyond the pale. I mean,
00:05:27.700
how could you accuse this man of engaging in a sexual fetish? Is it because he has recorded videos
00:05:33.320
singing about his penis bulge? Normalize the bulge. We are normalizing the bulge. Women can have bulges and
00:05:43.240
that's okay. We're not gonna stare at their crotches while they're wearing their little shopping shorts
00:05:55.300
Okay. Well, I guess that is pretty good evidence that this is a sexual fetish on second thought.
00:06:00.320
All right. So let's go back to the video then. Dylan is not a woman. Dylan is playing a caricature
00:06:06.820
of a woman. That one can say he is a woman and become one of the most influential women in America
00:06:11.400
in just six months of wearing dresses and ironing his hair. The patriarchy always wins, gang.
00:06:17.800
Oh, and there is Dylan Mulvaney as Audrey Hepburn. The difference being that Audrey Hepburn
00:06:21.080
was an actual woman with a vagina. Okay. Now, that came the right way out.
00:06:28.940
Who put this hateful mess on up in here? I did. I showed it. What? Why would you give them even a
00:06:35.440
second of your big day? Well, these are the people I have to deal with on a regular basis, so I thought
00:06:39.780
I should include them in the evening. But that doesn't mean you have to listen to them. Well,
00:06:44.540
I've always loved a little constructive criticism. Baby, there's nothing constructive about that.
00:06:48.240
And it's not just criticism. It's indoctrination. Trans and non-binary people have been around for
00:06:56.100
We have to pause it there again because, of course, that's total nonsense. Everything in the video is
00:07:01.420
nonsense. But this always deserves special mention. Billions of human beings lived on this planet for
00:07:07.120
thousands of years. Civilizations rose and fell without anyone inventing anything that even vaguely
00:07:12.540
resembled the modern notion of trans and non-binary. It didn't exist anywhere at all until a group of
00:07:17.900
weirdo psychologists and sexologists in the mid-20th century made it all up. That's the actual history
00:07:27.180
My love, they want to silence us. They want to silence us and keep us in the matrix.
00:07:33.260
Well, I think we've established that I really like to talk. So I don't think they're gonna have
00:07:44.200
Truthfully, I don't know what their goal is. But I do know how they make me feel now that
00:08:03.120
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
00:08:12.720
My response going forward, it's not over-explaining myself. It's not pleading. It's not expecting
00:08:26.560
kindness from someone who has no kindness to give. My response is in the next joyous video
00:08:36.480
And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God, and I'd get him to swap our places.
00:08:47.680
I'm gonna say something that might make people feel a little bit uncomfortable.
00:08:51.760
Um, I'm trying really hard to maintain a relationship with God, and I don't think that he made a mistake
00:08:59.020
with me. Um, and that maybe one day I will actually be grateful for being trans.
00:09:07.360
That this isn't some curse, but it's just a different path to the same destination.
00:09:15.420
Be running up that road. Be running up that hill. Be running up that building.
00:09:24.480
Be running up that hill. Be running up that hill.
00:09:32.820
I'm sorry to cut that off because it's really quite powerful. Um, powerful for a few reasons. One,
00:09:37.220
it proves that somebody can hit all the notes and still sound terrible. And also, uh, it proves
00:09:44.500
all of the points that we have been trying to make about this man. After all, our entire criticism
00:09:51.020
of Mulvaney is, is that he is not a woman, but rather a performer wearing womanhood as a costume.
00:09:57.160
His idea of womanhood is what he learned from Disney cartoons. And how exactly does he respond
00:10:02.040
to that charge? Well, by dressing up as a Disney princess and dancing around on stage and delivering
00:10:09.240
a tearful monologue while singing exactly as a Disney princess would. A monologue that by his own
00:10:14.760
admission, he has been rehearsing for a week as part of a performance he had planned six months ago.
00:10:18.800
So, so his tears are then about as authentic as everything else about him, which is to say they
00:10:22.820
are utterly contrived and staged, just more emotional manipulation meant to shut down valid
00:10:28.600
criticism. I mean, imagine a man, you know, in blackface singing a self-pitying song about how
00:10:35.960
his, his heart breaks whenever someone tells him that his costume is offensive to black people,
00:10:40.420
that there is no difference here. Mulvaney pretends that he doesn't understand the criticism.
00:10:45.280
That's because the trans agenda runs exclusively on falsehoods, bad faith, and emotional blackmail.
00:10:52.620
And Mulvaney exemplifies all three. He puts on a cartoonish performance of womanhood that is as
00:10:57.880
degrading and absurd as possible. He monetizes the performance. He amplifies it through every
00:11:03.520
platform available. And then when the criticism rightly comes his way, he acts like he's just some
00:11:07.660
random person trying to live his private life in peace. Speaking of his critics, he says that he
00:11:12.840
he doesn't know what our goals are. Now I think he does, but for the moment I'll allow for the
00:11:19.140
possibility that he's as stupid and oblivious as he wants us to think he is. And so I will explain
00:11:25.540
our goal is to defend reality. And it really is not any more complicated than that.
00:11:32.780
And here's one reality. No real woman will ever get a red carpet extravaganza at the Rockefeller
00:11:41.160
Center to congratulate her for simply existing. Okay. No real woman's going to get that for actually
00:11:48.620
being a woman for a year. That's the kind of spectacle only reserved for Dylan Mulvaney,
00:11:54.080
a privilege enjoyed by him and people like him. Why is that a problem? Well, for a lot of reasons,
00:11:59.940
but I can illustrate one of the reasons with maybe a brief story. So I think about
00:12:05.040
when our most recent set of twins were born and I'll never forget the moment, of course,
00:12:11.900
two months ago, standing in the delivery room, first baby born successfully, no problems. But
00:12:17.720
then the situation turns dire with the second, the doctor unable to safely deliver because of a
00:12:23.100
prolapsed umbilical cord has to make a split second decision to perform an emergency C-section.
00:12:27.080
Uh, it's, uh, there's a lot of blood. I'd never been in the room for any kind of operation before.
00:12:33.160
I don't know exactly what I was expecting, but I was expecting all that, the blood. And, um,
00:12:38.320
and then there was my wife, you know, laying there calm, but shivering at several points on the verge of
00:12:43.780
passing out. The only thing I could do was hold her hand and tell her the babies are okay and
00:12:47.240
everything's going to be fine. And I did tell her that even though for a period of several minutes,
00:12:50.860
I wasn't sure if it was actually true, but everything was fine in the end. And, uh, my
00:12:56.120
wife has now taken on the task of caring for these two infants along with four other children with
00:13:01.200
incredible grace and joy. And I'm not surprised to see her meet the challenge that way. She's a
00:13:06.960
remarkable woman. I've always known that. That's why I married her. And yet there will never be an
00:13:13.980
event at the Rockefeller Center to celebrate my wife's womanhood. Okay. She's not going to have any
00:13:19.380
adoring crowds flocking to bask in her presence and applaud her and fawn over her for being a woman.
00:13:27.300
She knows more about being a woman than Dylan Mulvaney will ever know or could ever know.
00:13:32.200
She's experienced womanhood at the deepest level. She, she bears its scars. Literally,
00:13:37.860
she carries its burdens. She knows its blessings. She's a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister.
00:13:42.180
She's all the things that Mulvaney and his ilk have never been and can never understand.
00:13:47.100
And yet he is put on the stage with the spotlight and the corporate sponsorships. He is celebrated for
00:13:55.420
being what he isn't. It's like giving the medal of honor to some dude who played call of duty in
00:14:00.520
his basement. Now it's not that my wife would want all of this fanfare. She's not a raging narcissist
00:14:08.120
like Dylan Mulvaney. The point is simply that by elevating and celebrating these fake cartoon
00:14:14.680
faux women, our society has emptied womanhood of everything that's truly beautiful and meaningful
00:14:21.600
and important about it. And if there's any solace to women, they, they aren't alone in this boat. Far from
00:14:28.200
it. The same has happened with manhood. Uh, the same has happened with, with everything.
00:14:33.080
All that is good and true is hollowed out and made artificial and absurd and ugly.
00:14:41.760
You know, it's funny that one of, uh, Dylan's cohorts on stage there says that we, his critics,
00:14:47.180
uh, want to keep them in the matrix. Now, as always, the truth is exactly the other way around.
00:14:56.620
Gender ideology is the matrix. What you just saw there on the screen, that's the matrix.
00:15:05.120
It's, you know, I'm sad to say it's not nearly as cool as the movie version,
00:15:09.060
but that's our version of the matrix. What you just saw, it is a fake alternate universe. It is
00:15:15.920
an artificial projection meant to obscure reality. And we are urged to play along so as not to ruin the
00:15:23.900
illusion. But we, some of us anyway, are tired of illusions. We are tired of the artificial.
00:15:32.300
We are tired of imitations. We want reality. If we're going to celebrate womanhood,
00:15:40.820
then we're going to celebrate the real thing. And that is not you, Dylan. And it never will be.
00:15:56.380

00:16:00.160

slash walsh. With Helix, better sleep starts now. All right, we'll begin, uh, with this from,
00:16:53.000
this is actually from last week. We get to report by KSTP in Minnesota. It says Minnesota Governor
00:16:57.580
Tim Walls, uh, signed in executive order on Wednesday aimed at protecting the rights of
00:17:02.480
Minnesota's LGBTQ plus community and access to gender affirming healthcare. Lieutenant Governor
00:17:07.920
Peggy Flanagan joined Walls for the, uh, signing ceremony at the Capitol shortly before 11 a.m.
00:17:13.400
It comes as a few states around the country consider restricting drag shows. Tennessee's
00:17:17.620
governor recently banned public drag performances, labeling them as adult cabaret. Several other
00:17:22.860
states, including Idaho, North Dakota, Montana, and Oklahoma are considering similar bans.
00:17:28.140
Walls said that the, uh, the order directs state officials to work with healthcare officials to
00:17:32.540
ensure access to gender affirming care is available to everyone and also made clear that state won't
00:17:36.660
cooperate with any other seeking to restrict the rights of or punish anyone in the LGBTQ plus
00:17:41.940
community. So in other words, this is, this is the bill that we've talked about on the show, the,
00:17:44.760
um, sanctuary, essentially sanctuary state bill, turning Minnesota to a sanctuary state for, uh,
00:17:51.340
child castration mutilation. And so abusive parents can bring their kid to Minnesota to, uh, to be
00:18:01.020
abused in this way. And Minnesota is saying, we're not going to cooperate with any of the states that
00:18:06.200
have made this, this kind of thing illegal. So that was the bill, but I want you to listen to what
00:18:11.980
the Lieutenant governor had to say at, at the signing ceremony, as she was, um, you know, talking
00:18:18.500
about the importance of being able to castrate and mutilate children. Here's what she said.
00:18:22.480
Because let's be clear, this is life affirming and life saving healthcare.
00:18:31.460
When our children tell us who they are, it is our job as grownups to listen and to believe them.
00:18:50.940
That's what it means to be a good parent is to listen to and believe whatever our children say.
00:18:58.420
Now we hear this, we hear this kind of thing so often from, uh, these people and, uh, but it still
00:19:04.800
manages to be shockingly ridiculous every time we see it, you know, every time we hear it because it
00:19:09.720
is the job of a parent is so often to do exactly the opposite of that to, to, uh, in fact, that is
00:19:20.180
always the job of the, there's always the job of the parent to not automatically believe whatever
00:19:26.200
your kid says or go along with whatever they want to do. Now, there could be times when your kid
00:19:32.620
says something that you should believe, because that happens plenty of times, uh, or there, there
00:19:37.040
can be plenty of occasions where a child wants to do something and you say, yes, that's a good idea.
00:19:42.080
Let's do that. But that should never be your automatic reflexive stance.
00:19:50.180
And least of all, should you believe it or go along with it just because they said it?
00:19:56.900
All right. There is, I think there's a, there's a place and some people in, you know, with, with the
00:20:01.960
way, uh, modern parenting strategies don't agree with this, but I would still say, cause I'm somewhat
00:20:07.780
old fashioned. Well, maybe not somewhat that there's definitely a place as a parent for the, uh,
00:20:15.940
because I said so reasoning to your child where you say, we're going to do something, you say
00:20:22.780
something and they don't agree that they ask why that way. And, and your, your response was because
00:20:26.960
I said so. And because, because now if your child is asking questions in a, in a sincere way, and
00:20:33.280
they're really trying to understand that you should try to explain it to them. But sometimes a child can,
00:20:37.580
can go down the why rabbit hole or object. And it's just a, it's just a way of being defiant. And so
00:20:43.480
then you want to train the child to understand that they need to respect you and your authority.
00:20:49.380
And even if they don't understand why they have to do something, um, they still shouldn't do it.
00:20:53.760
Okay. If the child doesn't quite understand why they shouldn't run into the middle of the street,
00:20:57.200
uh, it doesn't matter. Don't run into the street because I said so. So that's parent to child
00:21:05.420
because I said so. And yet these days that, as I said, many people would say, well, that's no,
00:21:11.920
that's, that's authoritarian. You can't parent that way because I said so is never the appropriate
00:21:16.780
response. And yet they want it to go the other way. Essentially, they think that that should be a
00:21:24.260
valid, uh, response from the child to the parent. Hey, mom and dad, we're going to do this. This is
00:21:31.580
how I'm going to live my life. Uh, why do you, because I said so it's because I said so. And, uh,
00:21:37.800
and that means we, you have to go along with it. No, you, your job, you are because, because the
00:21:43.320
child doesn't have the capacity for discernment, certainly not a, a fully developed path capacity,
00:21:52.120
then it is your job to be that, to, you know, you, you are kind of pinch hitting, uh, so often
00:21:59.240
as the person who's able to engage in discernment. Um, so you have to, you have to lend him your
00:22:04.480
discernment powers, which means you're saying no a lot to a child. That's the way it has to go.
00:22:13.300
So this is, it, it, it's not just completely ridiculous when it comes to this particular
00:22:19.440
topic, although it is especially ridiculous and harmful there when it comes to the topic
00:22:23.900
of gender ideology, but, uh, across the board, it makes no sense at all. A similar, uh, similar
00:22:31.520
topic here. Joe Biden this week spoke out against states that are banning child castration and
00:22:37.600
sterilization. And, uh, he had his own reasoning that he offered. Listen to this.
00:22:42.720
Transgender kids is a really harder day thing. What's going on in Florida
00:22:47.640
is, as my mother would say, close to sinful. I mean, it's just terrible what they're doing.
00:22:53.660
It's not like, you know, a kid wakes up one morning and says, you know, I decided I want
00:22:59.500
to become a man or I want to become a woman or I want to change. I mean, what, what, what,
00:23:05.100
what are they thinking about here? They're human beings. They love, they have feelings,
00:23:10.460
they have inclinations that are, I mean, it just to me is, I don't know, it's cruel.
00:23:17.740
And the way we do it is we make sure we pass legislation like we passed on same-sex marriage.
00:23:23.260
You mess with that, you're breaking the law and you're going to be held accountable.
00:23:28.780
So what he's, what he's actually saying here is, uh, if we're to skip right over the sinful
00:23:33.260
part, which really we can't, we can't skip over that. I mean, this is, you know, yet again,
00:23:39.740
the, the left going right to the moral argument. And for so long on the right and conservatives,
00:23:48.380
they've told themselves that, uh, we can't, you know, you don't want to make the moral argument,
00:23:53.820
moral arguments, not persuasive. Uh, people don't, we don't want to legislate morality.
00:23:58.140
We don't want to be accused of that. So we're always going to make the practical argument or
00:24:02.300
the economic argument, the financial argument. Uh, we're going to make an argument rooted in
00:24:07.180
rights and liberties, which is still a moral argument, by the way. Oh, I mean, all these are,
00:24:11.500
even the financial argument, it's an economic arts. It's always in the end, a moral argument,
00:24:15.900
but this is what the conservatives have been convinced of. And for years have gone along
00:24:21.980
with it. And I make, we gotta make, we gotta make an argument that seems practical.
00:24:26.940
Meanwhile, on the left, they go right for the moral argument every single time
00:24:30.540
and the religious argument too. They'll tell us not to do it. So if we say something,
00:24:37.900
you're trying to shove your religion down our throat.
00:24:39.980
And so often conservatives have, have, have been persuaded by this kind of manipulation.
00:24:48.620
But then what do you hear from Biden? It's sinful. It is a sin. And what is he saying?
00:24:53.340
Is this, it is a sin to not castrate a child to not do that would be a sin.
00:25:02.380
And since he brought it up, I mean, he's bringing sin into the conversation. I'd love to hear him
00:25:09.420
flesh that out some more. Where, where are you getting that biblically? Please point to the point,
00:25:14.620
give me a chapter and verse here of, um, you know, the, the, the, the, the part of, of scripture
00:25:20.620
that leads you to believe that we are, not only is it okay to castrate a child, but we're actually
00:25:27.020
morally obligated to sterilize, castrate, mutilate children. Um, so he says it's sinful. And for that
00:25:37.260
reason, he says it's sinful. And for that reason, um, what he's advocating now is the federal government
00:25:45.580
to get involved and, uh, and step in and stop these States from passing these laws. That's the
00:25:54.460
level that they're, they're playing. They're going to take their moral argument and they're
00:25:57.660
going to translate that directly into legal action. And why are they going to do it?
00:26:04.460
You know, why does he want the federal government to step in and say to Tennessee, for example,
00:26:08.380
you're not allowed to pass a law like that. Why? Well, because it's, it's the right thing to do,
00:26:13.660
they say. So they go right to the moral argument and we, we in effect, surrender that ground to them,
00:26:19.020
which we absolutely shouldn't do. And our response is why shouldn't you be doing these
00:26:25.900
things to children? Well, to begin with it's, it's wrong. It is morally wrong. Uh, and it is
00:26:31.740
grounded in falsehood. This is also funny from Joe Biden. Um, an alleged letter from a child though,
00:26:39.740
based on the, uh, handwriting and spelling, it looks like something could have easily written
00:26:43.820
to himself, but we can put the tweet up on the, um, on the screen. So this is what he tweeted out.
00:26:50.660
First, the letters, a screenshot of the letter letter. It says, dear president Biden, I just
00:26:55.980
wanted to tell something not fair to ladies. Men are getting more money than girls. I think you should
00:27:01.280
fix this since you're the president. Even I'm a child. And I think that we should do something
00:27:06.440
from Charlotte. And then Biden responds, Charlotte, I couldn't agree more. Women lose thousands of
00:27:14.280
dollars each year and hundreds of thousands over a lifetime because of gender and racial wage gaps.
00:27:19.960
I'm committed to building an economy where my daughters have the same rights and opportunities
00:27:24.060
as my sons. Uh, it's always interesting to me when they use children to make their points
00:27:32.640
and they think that that, of course, the reason they do is they think it makes it more powerful.
00:27:37.300
You see, even a child, even a, even a child can understand that why this isn't, isn't right.
00:27:43.360
That there's a, there's a gender wage gap. Even a child can understand that. No, it's not even a child.
00:27:50.220
It's that, um, of course a child will, will have this view of it. If you say to a child,
00:27:58.220
you know, uh, men, men go out and work and there are women who go out and work. And if you add up
00:28:06.760
all the money that men make and women make, uh, men make a little bit more. Now, if you say that to
00:28:14.460
a child in, in their, in their childlike mind, they're going to just assume that this must be,
00:28:21.700
you know, evidence that there's some sort of plot to stop women from, from earning more.
00:28:25.960
They're not going to ask questions like, well, are we comparing, uh, people who work in the same
00:28:32.880
industry? So are we, are we comparing men in one industry with women in the same industry?
00:28:37.760
Are we factoring in things like hours worked, experience level, uh, skill qualifications,
00:28:45.180
um, all of that kind of thing? Are, are we, are we taking into account things like men are more
00:28:51.620
willing to, uh, move for a job than women are. Men are more willing to take on extra hours than
00:28:56.920
women are. Men are much more likely to do dangerous jobs and the dangerous jobs very often will pay
00:29:02.000
more. I mean, working on an oil rig, for example, is a well-paying gig. Uh, and it's also dangerous.
00:29:07.460
A child's not going to ask any of those questions. Okay. So this, so Charlotte, who's however old she is,
00:29:12.140
let's assume she's seven or eight years old or something. She's not going to ask that because she's a
00:29:16.960
kid. And so when you tell her about the quote wage gap, that's all she's going to think is, okay,
00:29:22.300
well, there must be, there must be some evil plan out there to stop girls from making more.
00:29:30.660
Um, but it's adults who are supposed to be able to understand that there are a lot of other factors
00:29:36.880
to take into account here. And you can't just do a generalized comparison between all women in the
00:29:44.160
workplace place and all men. That doesn't make any sense to do that. So all he's really proving
00:29:50.300
is that, um, the, the, the leftist view of the so-called gender wage gap is childish.
00:30:01.280
It's the kind of thing that resonates with a small child. And when you become older and you
00:30:07.940
understand a little bit more about how the world works and you also understand how statistics work,
00:30:11.420
that's when you can understand that this is all nonsense. All right. Here's a, uh, article from
00:30:18.800
the daily mail says Netflix has quietly canceled a woke animated kid show, which features a bison
00:30:25.460
who comes out as non-binary to its grandmother. Ridley Jones released its fifth and final season last
00:30:31.940
week, which was not given any promotion. According to, according to the show's creator, uh, Chris knee,
00:30:36.540
the two-time kid screen award winner and Emmy nominee series, uh, received harsh criticism online
00:30:42.420
following the release of episode eight of season five called herd day, which centers around a bison
00:30:47.820
called Fred who comes out as non-binary to their grandmother. Who's voiced by Sidney Lauper.
00:30:54.200
Some viewers blasted the show on Twitter claiming Fred's non-binary identity was slipped into the
00:30:59.260
show's narrative. So the, okay. So the series is called Ridley Jones about a bison. I've never even
00:31:06.160
heard of this show before. One viewer asked, quote, do your kids watch Ridley Jones? It features a
00:31:11.680
female bison who identifies as neither male nor female and wants to be referred to with they them
00:31:16.580
pronouns. Quietly slipped in there. Drip, drip, drip. What a message to send to young girls in
00:31:20.920
particular. The creator who's a lesbian mom addressed the cancellation in a tweet last Wednesday
00:31:25.700
says doesn't surprise me that Netflix has quietly dumped the first preschool show that has a non-binary
00:31:30.820
character coming out. I realize in this day and age dumped means many things, just zero promotion
00:31:36.740
of the episode. First of all, I'm pretty sure this is not, unfortunately, I wish I could say that this
00:31:43.060
was the first preschool show that has a non-binary character. I'm pretty sure that's not the case.
00:31:47.420
I mean, they've got, you know, they're, they're doing a pride parades and drag queens in Blue's Clues
00:31:54.640
now. So this is ground that has been tread before, but I think we have the clip from the show. Let's
00:31:59.480
watch this name. Fred, that's because I'm non-binary and Fred is the name that fits me best. And I also
00:32:07.360
use they and them because calling me a she or a he doesn't feel right to me. I'm sorry I used the wrong
00:32:15.900
name and pronouns. Well, exactly as we, exactly as we were told. A, uh, a non-binary bison in the
00:32:26.520
kids show. And it is, uh, it's, it is at least encouraging that the show is a total flop. And
00:32:35.440
now it's being quiet. You know, of course, Netflix, isn't going to make a big scene about it, but, um,
00:32:41.820
it's a flop. People aren't interested. People don't want this. And now they have to cancel the
00:32:45.820
show. That is, that is encouraging because as much as, uh, you know, we have a problem with woke
00:32:51.400
parents who want to, uh, indoctrinate their kids into this. What we see is that still the vast
00:32:57.800
majority of parents do not want this. They're not interested in it. And that includes plenty of
00:33:05.520
parents who otherwise might be mistakenly okay with some of this kind of stuff. There are probably
00:33:12.940
still, and this, this is a changing as the woke crowd becomes ever more radicalized by the day,
00:33:17.720
but there are still plenty of parents who would say something like, well, uh, you know, non-binary,
00:33:24.000
I support that. You know, they would legitimize the idea of being non-binary, but they still,
00:33:29.320
they're not going to sit their kid down to watch a show with that stuff in it.
00:33:33.500
And then there's also a group of parents who, who would support that and might even say that they
00:33:39.040
would sit their kids down to watch something like this, but then in reality, they're not going to.
00:33:43.060
Um, so that's the positive anyway. This is from the blaze. It says a transgender UK doctor known for
00:33:51.440
being a fatness advocate expressed outrage that thin people were being celebrated for the whale
00:33:56.860
movie at the Oscar award ceremony on Sunday. The movie about a man dealing with his obesity problem
00:34:01.960
and directed by Darren Aronofsky garnered Oscar awards for best makeup and hairstyling and for best
00:34:06.880
actor. Dr. Asher Laramie, who also identifies as non-binary, of course, unleashed a furious tirade
00:34:13.680
on Twitter over the fat phobic incidents. Quote, once again, just a reminder that the whale was
00:34:20.140
written by, directed by, and produced by four thin white, rich, able-bodied cisgender men.
00:34:25.960
Oh, and check it out. Uh, check out. It's fat star who was celebrated and honored at the Oscars last
00:34:30.860
night. What an effing joke. Laramie added, quote, are we able to wrap our heads around this one yet,
00:34:36.300
folks? Someone won an Oscar for making Brendan Fraser a currently straight-sized man. Wait,
00:34:42.380
what? Straight-sized man? Is that what we're referring to? Someone who's not, you know,
00:34:49.440
overly obese is straight-sized? Anyway, someone won an Oscar for making Brendan Fraser a currently
00:34:56.260
straight-sized man look fat. No one else finds this disturbing? Well, no, no one else finds this
00:35:03.220
disturbing because it's, uh, it's acting. And there's all, and yet again, there's this, uh, you
00:35:10.160
know, on one hand, we live in a culture that is extremely paranoid about appropriation, and, and
00:35:19.880
that's what this is. It's considered appropriation. And at the exact same time, you have what we talked
00:35:26.640
about in the opening monologue with Dylan Mulvaney, which is an example of actual appropriation.
00:35:33.480
What is appropriation? You know, in, in a, in a movie, it's like, we're not supposed to actually
00:35:39.940
believe that Brendan Fraser is a 600-pound man. It's a, it's a film. He is, he is openly portraying a
00:35:46.800
character. No one's pretending otherwise. He's not identifying as this character. He's just,
00:35:52.300
he's telling a story. And to be able to, we've talked about this before, but, you know, this is
00:35:58.520
supposed to be, I would think, the real art of acting. And if there's any, anything honorable
00:36:04.640
about the profession, if there is anything, it would be this, that, uh, you, you have to have,
00:36:09.440
you know, in order to, to inhabit, um, a character that is not you, and to be able to do it persuasively,
00:36:16.600
you have to have some kind of empathy, you know, and that's what makes, I watched the movie. That's
00:36:21.280
what makes it a, a compelling performance is that even though Brendan Fraser is not a 600-pound man,
00:36:27.120
uh, who's living through the last, what's going to end up being the last week of his life,
00:36:31.400
spoiler alert, um, you still, while you're watching the story, you believe it. And in order for him to
00:36:37.560
make you believe it, he has to kind of understand this character in a way. So it's a, it's a, it's a,
00:36:41.420
it is an empathetic performance. And, uh, almost any good performance is. But it's also not
00:36:47.760
appropriation because, again, it is, it is, it is, uh, everyone understands that it is a performance.
00:36:53.900
He's not taking ownership of this and saying, oh, I now identify as a 600-pound man.
00:37:00.300
On the other hand, you have someone like Dylan Mulvaney, who is actually trying to take,
00:37:05.540
yes, it's a performance, but he's trying to take ownership of the performance and say,
00:37:09.780
this is really me. This is who I am. So that's appropriation, but we have it exactly flipped
00:37:15.640
around. Meanwhile, uh, Jamie Lee Curtis won an Oscar for her role in, uh, the film Everything
00:37:21.580
Everywhere All at Once, which, uh, I did watch that one. I, well, I watched two-thirds of it and I
00:37:28.500
couldn't get through the rest. And I, I don't often, you know, I'll turn a, I'll frequently turn a
00:37:35.340
movie off in the first five minutes because it's not worth my time. If I got two-thirds of the way
00:37:39.080
through, I almost always finish because you figure, well, I've made it this far. I've
00:37:42.620
already wasted my time. I might as well see how it all ends. But this film was so obnoxious
00:37:47.660
and pointless that I couldn't, I couldn't do it anymore. And I turned it off. But she won
00:37:52.200
the Oscar anyway for a small role. And here she is talking about her Oscar trophy.
00:37:57.320
Oh, look at this. Here, here they are. Have we named her? Who was her? I'm, I'm in support
00:38:07.160
of my daughter, Ruby. I'm, I'm having them be a they them. Oh, I'm, I'm gonna just call them
00:38:16.560
them. They them. And, um, they are doing great and, uh, they're settling in. Um, and, um, I couldn't,
00:38:25.440
I mean, I just, in my life, I never thought in a million years that I would have this couple days.
00:38:34.460
And I'm, I'm, um, very, very moved by the whole thing. Wow. That's powerful. Her Oscar trophy is a
00:38:42.920
they them. You know, I saw someone, uh, I don't know, I confess, I don't know anything at all about
00:38:46.880
Jamie Lee Curtis's, um, uh, you know, her, her personal life and, and her biographical details.
00:38:53.380
But I saw someone on Twitter mentioned this, that she has, I guess, two kids. And one of them is,
00:39:01.780
uh, identifies as a, I think a non-binary trans furry or something. And is a YouTuber, um, furry demon.
00:39:12.040
I think, and that's Ruby. And then Jamie Lee Curtis also has a daughter, a real daughter,
00:39:21.400
who's like a normal person and is a teacher or something and works with, uh, works with kids
00:39:26.800
and, and people with, uh, with, uh, disabilities. And yet she spends most of her time talking about
00:39:34.020
the trans furry, you know, YouTuber. That's who she apparently is the most proud of.
00:39:41.540
Tells you everything you need to know about Hollywood, I suppose.

for more details and safety information. I have to briefly mention this because my wife,
00:41:09.540
though being a great woman, as mentioned earlier, also almost got herself canceled today. She almost
00:41:14.480
made it into the daily cancellation. It's been a little while since she's been there and she,
00:41:18.820
she almost earned another trip. So here's what she did. She, she went out and I can't,
00:41:27.480
don't ask me to explain this because I can't, but she went out and bought harmonicas,
00:41:33.040
harmonicas for all of our kids, except the two babies. So she didn't get harmonicas for the
00:41:39.360
infants at least. So for the four kids, she got harmonicas again, can't explain why can't even
00:41:44.880
theorize, but she got them all harmonicas. And so this is what my house sounded like all weekend.
00:41:52.440
Yeah. You can hear my six-year-old silence everyone for a moment so that they can hear
00:42:17.440
his harmonica solo. And that was my, that was my life all weekend. It was just that I kept
00:42:22.820
confiscating the harmonicas and, but then they would end up back in circulation again. And I,
00:42:28.800
you know, I, I would, I took them out to eat on Saturday at a restaurant. Two of them pulled out
00:42:33.820
their harmonicas at the, at the restaurant and started playing them. My daughter started playing
00:42:38.600
harmonica in the car, almost drove into a tree. And I, the thing is, I, this is what makes it,
00:42:43.460
I like the harmonica, or at least I used to. And so we're, we're driving in the car and all the
00:42:48.840
songs I put on that are on my Spotify playlist, all of them have, have harmonicas in them because
00:42:54.100
prior to this, I thought that there's no bad way to play a harmonica and a harmonica improves every
00:43:01.540
song. And so I put, you know, I'm just listening to music. The kids are in the car and my, my daughter
00:43:07.100
pulls out the harmonica, starts playing along to the music, debunking my theory about a harmonica,
00:43:12.580
making everything sound better. It was like being followed around by a, by a, like a blues traveler
00:43:16.920
cover band all weekend. The good news now is that they've all been lost. So that's, you know, you,
00:43:23.800
you buy your kids a noisy toy and within three, three, four days, they're all gone. And when I say
00:43:28.980
lost, I mean, quote unquote, they've been lost. I don't know what happened to them. William Baker
00:43:33.480
says, I was in Nashville and saw a bachelorette party with their cash app handle displayed. I did the
00:43:38.120
fair and equitable thing and requested $5 from them. They still have not paid.
00:43:42.580
Uh, I think that's a great response. That's what people need to start doing.
00:43:45.800
This is a big thing in Nashville. I don't know. I've complained before about this. I don't know
00:43:49.700
how common it is. I do a fair amount of traveling. I don't see it as much in other cities, but
00:43:54.960
in particular, because Nashville is unfortunately the bachelorette party capital of the, of the world,
00:44:02.640
we get a lot of this of, you know, women driving around in their cars with their cash app or Venmo or
00:44:09.780
whatever proudly displayed on their windshield panhandling. And these are all like, it's okay.
00:44:17.360
If you're a woman, you can, you came with all your friends to Nashville for a bachelorette party
00:44:21.280
that already tells me you might not be rich, but you're not impoverished. If you've got the money to
00:44:26.800
go to another city for a, for a, to party all weekend, then, uh, you're not, uh, you're not exactly
00:44:33.780
a person in need. And yet they, there's no compunction about essentially you put it on
00:44:40.540
your windshield. Then every single person who happens to be behind you in traffic, you're
00:44:44.920
asking them for money. Um, no shame at all. Jared says, I had the opposite problem as Kaepernick.
00:44:53.540
I asked my parents for a rat tail and they were 100% on board. Now I have pictures of myself with a
00:44:59.820
rat tail hairstyle and a, uh, teenage mutant Ninja turtle sweater. Well, that was just the nineties
00:45:04.940
for you, but that is, uh, it just goes to show. It's like we talked about during the headlines.
00:45:09.740
You know, you can't, you cannot say yes to everything your kids want. And in the nineties,
00:45:13.920
for some reason, there were a lot of parents who said yes to the rat tail. And I, even at the time,
00:45:21.160
I never quite understood that. I mean, it's work. You call the hairstyle a rat tail. It doesn't
00:45:28.640
even sound appealing based on the, based on the name. And yet there were many parents and now
00:45:34.220
their, their children have to live with those, uh, photos in circulation for the rest of their lives.
00:45:40.060
Um, Kitty Gaming Toons says, I'd like to see Matt Walsh debate Dylan Mulvaney. That'd be a fun
00:45:46.720
video idea. Well, that would, that would certainly never happen. Uh, none of these people are going to
00:45:53.560
put themselves in a position, intentionally put themselves in a position of being, uh, of being
00:45:58.960
scrutinized. I think that's one thing that we've, that we've learned. Becca says, I'll be honest.
00:46:04.060
Up until recently, I was very left-wing, very liberal. I heard all the nasty things said about
00:46:07.820
Matt Walsh and I believe them, but to make a long story short after digging around for myself and
00:46:11.520
actually watching your content, I'm really, really, really starting to question my political opinions.
00:46:16.160
I've always thought the gender ideology stuff was kind of strange, but I figured it was probably some
00:46:19.580
kind of internalized insert, insert buzzword phobia. Now I'm thinking that my first reaction was right.
00:46:25.560
It is strange and worse than that. It's wrong and dangerous. That has led me to questioning a lot of
00:46:30.960
stuff. And it's also led to me beginning to really love your videos and all that you're doing. Mr.
00:46:35.520
Walsh, keep it up because you're changing people and doing good. Well, Becca, I appreciate that. Um,
00:46:41.320
although I'm, I'm, uh, sorry, I have to be the one to tell you this, but you don't exist, Becca. I don't
00:46:47.500
know if you realize that, but you don't exist. At least I've been told, I've been reliably informed
00:46:51.440
that people like you don't exist. That would be someone on the left who can be persuaded by
00:46:58.140
simple, sometimes blunt arguments that are presented without, you know, a lot of, uh,
00:47:04.580
without going out of the way to make them make it, you know, make it gentle and give a soft landing.
00:47:10.980
That's what I'm told. Like the way that I approach things, it could never be persuasive to someone like
00:47:17.000
you. So either what I'm being told is wrong or you don't exist. I don't know. We'll have to think
00:47:23.760
about that. What if I told you there's one book that has done more for literacy than any other book?
00:47:29.120
It's shaped literature, art, culture, government, countless lives. I'm of course referring to,
00:47:34.720
uh, Johnny the Walrus. No, I'm referring to the Bible. Actually, Johnny the Walrus is second place.
00:47:39.520
You know who else has, uh, has, uh, it's had an influence on that is Jordan Peterson. In addition to
00:47:43.440
his Exodus series, Jordan has a documentary called Logos and Literacy, where he traces the Bible
00:47:47.900
through history to show you the impact it's had on the Western world. Uh, here's the trailer. Check
00:47:52.460
it out. I was very much struck by how the translation of the biblical writings jump-started the development
00:48:00.180
of literacy across the entire world. Illiteracy was the norm. The pastor's home was the first school
00:48:06.960
and every morning it would begin with singing. The Christian faith is a singing religion. Probably
00:48:13.960
80% of scripture memorization today exists only because of what is sung. This is amazing. Here
00:48:19.640
we have a Gutenberg Bible, Bible printed on the press of Johann Gutenberg. Science and religion
00:48:27.480
are opposing forces in the world, but historically that has not been the case. Now the book is available
00:48:34.520
to everyone. From Shakespeare to modern education and medicine and science to, to civilization itself.
00:48:43.800
It is the most influential book in all of history and hopefully people can walk away with at least
00:48:50.700
a sense of that. Now, you know, this is the part where I normally tell you that Logos and Literacy
00:48:57.240
is only for Daily Wire Plus members, but actually we're making it available for free for everyone
00:49:02.200
at dailywireplus.com. But it's only for a limited time. We don't do this very often, so take advantage
00:49:07.380
of it. Go watch Logos and Literacy today at dailywireplus.com. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:49:18.180
Last week, the Daily Wire published the book Stolen Youth by Carol Markowitz and Bethany Mandel.
00:49:24.360
And the book exposes the left's assault on childhood, which is waged largely through indoctrination
00:49:29.400
campaigns by the media, the education system, the entertainment business, and of course the medical
00:49:33.540
industry. It's an important book on a crucial topic. I'd recommend that you pick up a copy and
00:49:37.580
give it a read. Of course, the problem with writing a book is that once it comes out, you have to promote
00:49:42.520
it. And promoting it means you have to do an ungodly number of interviews where you answer the same sorts
00:49:47.860
of questions over and over and over and over again. And you would hope that the repetition would make you
00:49:53.140
sharper. You know, you have better honed answers each time, but it doesn't always work out that way.
00:49:57.540
The excessive exposure to cameras and microphones can instead lead to minor flubs and gaffes, brain farts
00:50:04.760
to use the medical term. And this wouldn't be a huge deal except for the fact that we live in the era of
00:50:10.500
social media where the peanut gallery is looking for any opportunity to turn a brief mental lapse into an
00:50:15.660
entire news cycle. That's what happened this week to one of the authors of the book, Bethany Mandel, when she
00:50:21.480
appeared on a show called Rising yesterday to promote her book. And she was asked in the interview to
00:50:27.440
define the word woke. And through being asked that question, Mandel momentarily fumbled over the
00:50:35.360
answer. And that was all the left-wing mob needed. Her name was soon trending nationwide, thousands of
00:50:40.620
people jumping on the dogpile. There were articles published in mainstream media outlets like the
00:50:45.400
Washington Post and the Independent. The left ruthlessly mocked her for not having a pithy definition
00:50:51.440
of woke ready to go. Claiming that this lapse somehow proves that the conservative critique of
00:50:56.420
wokeness is illegitimate. The Washington Post headline summarizes this line of thinking.
00:51:02.300
It said, quote, a viral moment reinforces the hollowness of woke as an attack. Meanwhile,
00:51:08.040
leftists on social media claimed that the viral moment is evidence somehow that the term woke is a
00:51:13.340
bigoted term. A guy named Torre posted, quote, at this point, woke is a slur. The way the right uses it
00:51:19.340
is an undercover way of saying those people or non-white people. It's a polite way of saying
00:51:24.680
the N-word. But in this case, the N-word includes blacks, LGBTQ folks, and other marginalized groups.
00:51:31.300
Well, of course, you know, obviously woke is a racial slur. It's a term conservatives use after
00:51:36.340
all, which means that it's racist automatically. Whatever else we can say about it, we must begin
00:51:42.080
by calling it racist and also end by calling it racist. Because of course, everything is racist.
00:51:46.640
As for the clip that has provoked all of this reaction, let's just watch that and then we'll
00:51:54.100
Native Americans consider themselves very liberal and probably fewer of them consider themselves to
00:51:59.200
be woke. And so, you know, when we talk about traditional- What does that mean to you?
00:52:02.740
Would you mind defining woke? Because it's come up a couple of times and I just want to make sure
00:52:05.740
we're on the same page. So, I mean, woke is sort of the idea that, this is going to be one of those
00:52:21.620
moments that goes viral. I mean, woke is something that's very hard to define and we've spent an
00:52:25.980
entire chapter defining it. It is sort of the understanding that we need to totally reimagine
00:52:32.560
and redo society in order to create hierarchies of oppression. Sorry, it's hard to explain in a 15
00:52:44.080
second soundbite. Okay, so two points here. First, if I was asked to define woke, I would say that it's
00:52:52.380
a cult or a secular religion, which teaches that society is systemically oppressive towards certain
00:52:59.400
supposedly marginalized groups. The cult believes that our institutions were built expressly with
00:53:04.500
the purpose of oppressing these groups. And the only way to combat the oppression is to tear down the
00:53:09.320
institutions and restructure them according to the doctrines of the cult. Nothing can exist for its
00:53:15.100
own sake when it comes to wokeness. No institution can have any purpose above or beyond the enforcement
00:53:21.580
of those doctrines. The ultimate goal, according to the cult, is equity. And equity simply means that
00:53:27.360
the imagined oppression of their favored groups has been counteracted by policies that artificially
00:53:33.900
elevate those same groups. And of course, in the woke religion, the Satan figure is the
00:53:38.800
heterosexual white male. And each member of this group inherits the collective guilt of the
00:53:44.980
oppressor. In fact, you could probably define the term woke this way, too. A woke person is anyone who
00:53:50.680
thinks that heterosexual white males are the villains of history. If they hold that belief, then it's almost
00:53:56.200
always certain that the rest of it will come with it. Now, if some conservatives struggle maybe to define
00:54:03.200
the term woke, it's only because they're being too generous. You know, there are some on the right who
00:54:08.340
want to see the woke left as distinct from the left generally. They seek to define wokeness in a way
00:54:14.680
that lets what they consider to be the average leftist off the hook. But there's no way to do that.
00:54:21.280
Wokeness is just another term for leftism. You can also define it that way. What's a woke person? A leftist.
00:54:26.640
That's what we're talking about. There is no daylight between like the stereotypical blue-haired woke
00:54:33.540
tick-tock they-them and the most mainstream Democrat political figure. Okay, there's no daylight
00:54:39.840
ideologically between these two. They are identical ideologically. The term woke only becomes complicated
00:54:45.880
and hard to define when you're trying to find some way to differentiate mainstream leftism from
00:54:52.000
wokeness. But they can't be differentiated. Woke is another word for leftist, which is why I personally
00:54:59.060
don't use the term woke very often because leftist suffices just fine. Second point, leftists, you know,
00:55:06.700
the woke crowd, whatever you want to call them, they are certainly not in a position to make fun of
00:55:12.080
anyone else for struggling to define a word. If there's another defining feature of wokeness is that
00:55:18.780
it creates a world governed from top to bottom by double standards. And here we find yet another
00:55:24.460
one. These people can't objectively define any of the terms they use, and yet they point and laugh
00:55:31.200
at someone else for fumbling over a definition. Most infamously, of course, they can't define the word
00:55:36.800
woman. But the difference between woman and woke is that the latter is an ideology, which means that
00:55:43.620
it actually is a human construct. It actually is somewhat fluid and changing. It really does exist
00:55:50.980
on a spectrum of sorts. You know, ideologies really do exist on a spectrum. There are bits of it,
00:55:59.760
many bits, in fact, that are murky and vague. This means that it's not terribly shocking or hilarious
00:56:05.900
when a person fails to come up with a pithy definition on the spot. I can guarantee that none of
00:56:09.880
these leftists making fun of Bethany Mandel would perform any better if we asked them to define
00:56:14.580
fascism on the spot. And although they throw the term fascism around all over the place,
00:56:19.860
I wouldn't necessarily blame them for not having a one-sentence definition ready to go,
00:56:23.840
because ideologies are a bit more complicated than that, and a bit more abstract, and sometimes
00:56:31.120
ambiguous. A woman, on the other hand, is not an ideology. Woman is an objective biological reality.
00:56:37.540
Human beings didn't invent womanhood the way that we invent ideologies. It's not an idea. It's not a
00:56:43.500
political concept. Woman has a basic one-sentence definition, adult human female, that every rational
00:56:49.500
person should know and should be able to cite whenever asked. And yet the left, the woke mob,
00:56:56.020
cannot provide this definition. I mean, Mandel briefly struggled to define an idea. That's what she'd be.
00:57:03.400
How do you define this idea? Well, these people struggle to define ideas, but they also struggle
00:57:09.220
to define literally everything else, including the fundamental biological realities of nature.
00:57:15.800
It's one thing to put an ideological label on someone else and then briefly struggle to define
00:57:21.820
that label. It's another thing entirely to label yourself something, like saying, I identify as a woman,
00:57:28.960
and then being completely unable to define what you labeled yourself. Okay, because that's the gotcha
00:57:36.100
moment here, right? They say, the left, they say, well, you call all these people woke, and then we ask
00:57:41.140
you what you mean by woke, and you can't tell us. Well, no, we can tell you. It might take more than one
00:57:46.900
sentence, but we can tell you. Meanwhile, you're calling yourself something that you can't then explain.
00:57:53.320
How much more ridiculous is that? It's not just a minor gaffe or a gotcha moment. Rather, it reveals
00:58:00.380
the fundamental incoherence of your entire worldview. But that, again, is another feature of
00:58:05.620
wokeness. Perhaps it's a defining feature before anything else. It is an ideology that contradicts
00:58:11.140
and negates itself at every turn. An ideology that asserts things as true and yet denies that truth
00:58:17.860
exists. It is an ideology of confusion, most of all. Maybe that's how we would define it.
00:58:25.020
Wokeness is confusion made into an ideology. I think that works, too. And that is why Bethany Mandel
00:58:32.160
is not canceled. Instead, her woke cancelers are today canceled. And that'll do it for the show today
