The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1135 - The Leftist Rage Mob Turns On One Of Its Own

00:00:00.160 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a leftist media personality says that she wants to be referred

00:00:04.220 to as a woman, not a person with a uterus. Now she finds herself the target of the same leftist

00:00:09.120 rage mob that she has so often been a part of herself. A tale as old as time. Also,

00:00:13.300 the White House condemns Uganda for its law banning homosexuality. Billy Porter and The View come up

00:00:18.280 with the dumbest defense of child drag shows, though they're all dumb, of course. CNN's chief 1.00

00:00:22.680 climate alarmist issues a dire warning for the planet, and Gisele Bundchen explains why her

00:00:27.080 pursuit of authenticity meant that she had to divorce Tom Brady. All of that and more today

00:00:31.780 on the Matt Wall Show. According to a recent poll, almost two-thirds of Americans do not have a will.

00:01:49.900 Well, we have grown accustomed to the sight of deranged pitchfork mobs descending upon someone 0.56

00:01:55.320 and ripping them to shreds for, you know, engaging in the crime of wrong think. But this feeding

00:02:00.960 frenzy, this orgy of outrage, always takes on added intensity when the target is a member of the mob

00:02:07.820 itself. As we've learned, there is no fury like a pitchfork mob scorned by one of its own. And we learned

00:02:13.940 this lesson yet again yesterday when leftist internet personality Anna Kasparian of the Young

00:02:18.540 Turks had a very brief moment of sanity. And there is nothing the left punishes quicker or more severely 0.65

00:02:25.860 than sanity. So Kasparian tweeted this yesterday afternoon. She said, I'm a woman. Please don't ever

00:02:32.760 refer to me as a person with a uterus, a birthing person, or person who menstruates. How do people not 0.60

00:02:38.540 realize how degrading this is? You can support the transgender community without doing this 1.00

00:02:43.920 Now, every once in a while, Anna will engage in these flirtations with common sense. The 0.98

00:02:51.800 relationship never goes anywhere. There's no commitment ever made. They never have a first

00:02:56.320 date even, but she'll bat her eyes at common sense from across the room and maybe wave in its general

00:03:01.520 direction. And sometimes her own side will let her get away with it. They'll forgive and look the other

00:03:07.980 way and forget about these, you know, dalliances, but not on this issue. Because if there is one

00:03:13.320 absolutely unbending, unyielding rule on the left is that you may never say anything even vaguely

00:03:21.540 sensible on the subject of gender. I mean, really, you can't say anything vaguely sensible on any subject, 1.00

00:03:28.020 but in particular on this subject. And so it was inevitable that Anna would wind up trending on Twitter,

00:03:33.980 which she did because thousands of leftist hyenas were pouncing on her, which they did. 1.00

00:03:39.520 Here's just a very quick survey of the responses she received. So I'll read through just a few of

00:03:45.060 them. Oh, not you too. I had real hopes for this one. What a shame you've fallen for the faux outrage.

00:03:52.660 Another one says, I prefer my feminism to include everyone. My womanhood isn't threatened by the 1.00

00:03:57.220 existence of non-binary or trans people. Why is yours? Another says, actually, I actually thought you were

00:04:03.980 good ones, but clearly I was wrong. Buying into the transphobic hysteria and spreading more ignorance

00:04:09.440 and hate to a minority going through absolute hell right now. Shameful. Another says, as a person without 0.97

00:04:15.780 a uterus, I am so offended by this. Be grateful you have one, Anna, or give it to someone else. 1.00

00:04:22.020 Another says, Anna, that might be one of the most turf things you could ever say. Just saying.

00:04:27.540 Another, this is a crazy thing to tweet right now. Person with a uterus is a term used to include

00:04:32.900 trans men who are not women in conversations about things like menstruation and pregnancy. I can't 1.00

00:04:37.820 imagine what compelled you to tweet this, but you need to take it down. Another says, unblocking you

00:04:43.900 to tell you you're a piece of for joining this transphobic mass hysteria while being silent about 0.71

00:04:49.320 anti-trans legislation. How does a very small niche of people using terms like birthing person to include

00:04:55.860 trans men and non-binary people invalidate you? Get a grip. Another says, it's degrading to refer to me as a

00:05:02.760 person is a silly take, and using the necessary language to include and support trans men in 0.97

00:05:07.040 legislation and medicine is in fact necessary to supporting the trans community. Another says, 0.92

00:05:12.740 I'm a person who menstruates, who has a uterus, and who has had to flee my state to have an abortion.

00:05:16.520 I'm not a woman, and excluding trans people like me from the conversation further marginalizes us.

00:05:21.180 It hurts no one to be inclusive. And then, I'm so f***ing sick of cis people, I can count the ones I 1.00

00:05:27.580 trust on one hand. How do cis people keep making our genocide about their feelings? And yes, I am 0.99

00:05:33.340 subtweeting Anna Kasparian and her heel turn a**. And then finally, oh f*** off with this stupid made-up 1.00

00:05:40.000 a**. Trans folks are having their existence criminalized in state after state, and you want 1.00

00:05:44.900 to whine about this a**. In other words, the left wasn't happy. Not that they're ever happy about

00:05:52.200 anything really. And in a certain way, you can sort of understand why they felt betrayed. After all,

00:05:57.300 this is Anna Kasparian of the Young Turks, star of such YouTube videos as Hill hosts obliterates

00:06:03.660 transphobic co-hosts on dead-naming trans people. And insane Republican monsters are trying to destroy 0.98

00:06:11.260 the trans community. And then J.K. Rowling is being transphobic again. In fact, just for fun, 0.99

00:06:18.520 let's take a brief listen to that last clip about J.K. Rowling. Here it is.

00:06:24.780 J.K. Rowling is in the hot seat yet again for weighing in on transgender issues, this time

00:06:31.640 in the context of rape and how some countries have decided to honor the gender identity of people who

00:06:43.000 are transgendered. Now, she tweeted this, war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.

00:06:50.820 The penised individual who raped you is a woman. The paranoia is in fact stemming from a recent law 0.97

00:06:57.020 in Scotland, which allows trans people to self-identify as male or female in the Scottish census,

00:07:03.160 even if it differs from their gender at birth. Now, police have been criticized for saying they will

00:07:13.180 record rapes by offenders with male genitalia as being committed by a woman if the attacker identifies

00:07:19.320 as a female, even if they have not legally changed their gender. So apparently, this is what has gotten

00:07:25.160 her very upset. And I just, I just, I don't, I don't, I don't get it. She doesn't get it. She just

00:07:34.900 doesn't get it. She doesn't get why J.K. Rowling wouldn't want male rapists to be housed in female

00:07:40.920 prisons. She doesn't get it. She doesn't get why J.K. Rowling believes that male rapists are men and

00:07:46.260 should be housed with men, no matter how they self-identify. She doesn't get it. But she doesn't 0.66

00:07:52.760 get it. But she's sure that J.K. Rowling is being transphobic. Whatever's going on, it's definitely

00:07:58.340 that. Indeed, everyone on the right, on the right, or rather to the right of her, because J.K. Rowling

00:08:03.780 is not on the right, everyone to the right of her on this issue is transphobic. She has made that very

00:08:09.080 clear many times, calling people transphobic is one of her favorite pastimes. And now the transphobic

00:08:14.860 shoe is on the other foot. So let me see if I can break this down a little bit and help Anna understand 1.00

00:08:20.860 what's happening to her. Let me see if I can mansplain this a little bit. And I know she 1.00

00:08:25.600 watches a lot of my content, so I'm sure that she'll see this and perhaps respond by calling

00:08:31.100 me a transphobe, as is her custom. So here's the issue, Anna. I'm going to completely skip past the

00:08:38.620 fact that you have yourself for years contributed to this rabid mob mentality, which treats any deviation

00:08:45.760 from gender ideology doctrine as a genocidal transphobia. The people attacking you today

00:08:52.140 are responding exactly as you have responded to so many others and exactly as you have encouraged

00:08:58.180 people to respond. Yes, it is annoying, isn't it, when a completely reasonable statement is met with

00:09:03.920 these kinds of histrionics. It's frustrating when people label your argument, you know, call it bigoted,

00:09:09.920 call it transphobic, and believe that simply labeling it can be a substitute for actually engaging

00:09:15.620 with it. I know it's frustrating. Happens to me all the time. Happens to me by you, in fact. So yes,

00:09:23.940 this is a dose of your own medicine, and it's a bitter medicine indeed. But we aren't going to harp

00:09:28.320 on that. Instead, I want to make a point that will be more useful to you and to everyone listening to

00:09:34.680 this. You say that we can support the transgender community, quote unquote, without engaging in the 1.00

00:09:40.760 silly word games that you're rightly objecting to. But you're wrong about that, Anna. We cannot support

00:09:48.080 the transgender community without doing those things. We can't. Okay? You cannot reject a label

00:09:55.940 like a person with a uterus while still supporting the trans community. You can't. And I'll tell you why. 1.00

00:10:02.520 Two reasons. First, trans activists have set the terms for what qualifies as support.

00:10:10.300 Those terms are quite clear, and I know you're well aware of them. Support for the trans community

00:10:16.140 means affirmation. And affirmation means literally to state as a fact, to assert strongly and publicly,

00:10:23.500 to uphold and defend. And this is just about the only word that these people ever use according to

00:10:30.080 its dictionary definition. In the case of this one single word, affirmation, they do mean it exactly

00:10:36.260 as the dictionary defines it. To support them means to affirm them. And to affirm them means to loudly

00:10:41.960 and publicly uphold whatever assertions they make about themselves and about the world. And it also

00:10:48.340 means asserting their self-perception as fact. There is no other version of support that they will

00:10:55.180 accept. And so it's incoherent, even oxymoronic, for you to say, I disagree with trans activists on

00:11:01.380 this point, but I support them. Because you can't support them and disagree with them at the same time.

00:11:06.440 They won't allow it. They won't allow it. They demand total and absolute conformity. That is the rule.

00:11:13.660 And it is a rule that, again, you yourself have enforced many times. Second,

00:11:20.160 you do support the reality of transgenderism, meaning that you believe that transgender is a

00:11:28.640 legitimate category of being, and that it really is possible for a person to be trans. That is,

00:11:34.680 a person can exist beyond the binary of male and female. You believe this. You support that idea.

00:11:41.860 And that's what you mean when you say that you support the trans community. But if you believe 0.99

00:11:45.740 that, Anna, then you have already reduced yourself to a mere person with a uterus. The whole point of 0.95

00:11:53.220 these terms is that according to gender ideology, you are simply an assemblage of body parts. And that 1.00

00:11:58.960 assemblage has no special meaning or significance and does not point to any identity in particular.

00:12:05.580 You are a woman who just so happens to have female reproductive parts. Okay? And there are many 1.00

00:12:13.860 other women who are just as womanly as you and whose womanhood is just as valid as yours, 1.00

00:12:18.700 but who do not have any of those parts. A man who started identifying as a woman yesterday afternoon

00:12:25.300 is just as much a woman as you. The only difference is your uterus and your other anatomical features, 1.00

00:12:31.480 which are totally meaningless. This is the doctrine of gender ideology. You either accept it or you don't. 1.00

00:12:39.040 But you cannot accept it. You cannot affirm this theory of reality and then try to quibble around

00:12:45.500 the edges about the terminology, especially because the terminology makes sense. It is entirely valid

00:12:52.100 if gender ideology's central claims are true. Okay? If gender ideology's central claims are true,

00:13:00.380 then everything else they say really follows from that premise.

00:13:03.760 And you believe that those central claims are true. Or at least you say you believe it.

00:13:12.160 See, there's no middle ground here, Anna. I know you want to find one, but it doesn't exist.

00:13:16.720 If you want to be a woman, and if you want that word to mean something,

00:13:22.220 then Rachel Levine cannot be a woman, and Dylan Mulvaney cannot be a woman, and Leah Thomas cannot be a

00:13:27.880 woman, and Caitlyn Jenner cannot be a woman. Okay? Womanhood ain't big enough for both of you. 1.00

00:13:33.760 It's one or the other. If they are women, and you are a woman, then the word doesn't mean anything. 0.99

00:13:40.840 And the identity doesn't mean anything. In which case, we probably should stop using it and just

00:13:45.720 start calling you a vagina haver. Because that's all you would be. That and nothing more. 1.00

00:13:54.280 Now, if you don't like that, if you don't want that, then you must free yourself and free your mind

00:14:01.040 from the mental slavery of gender ideology. You must reject it totally in every facet. It does not

00:14:08.380 leave you any other choice. It doesn't intend to leave you any other choice.

00:14:15.780 So, renounce that madness and come to this side. Join the transphobes, as you have called us so many

00:14:22.940 times. We will accept your apology and welcome you as a prodigal son, or daughter in your case,

00:14:28.980 because we actually know the difference. Or you can flee back into the arms of maniacs 0.98

00:14:34.620 who believe in pregnant men and think that child castration is a valid medical practice. 0.93

00:14:41.600 Those are your two options. There are no others. The choice is yours. And I think I know which one

00:14:48.900 you'll make. But hope springs eternal, and the truth beckons to us all. Now let's get to our five

00:15:59.200 Okay, headline from CNN, and this is a headline that's been repeated by many other mainstream

00:16:03.100 outlets and phrased, framed almost exactly this way. Uganda Parliament passes bill criminalizing

00:16:10.500 identifying as LGBTQ, imposes death penalty for some offenses. The article says,

00:16:16.560 Ugandan lawmakers on Tuesday approved some of the world's harshest anti-gay laws, making some crimes

00:16:21.400 punishable by death and imposing up to 20 years in prison for people identifying as LGBTQ. 1.00

00:16:26.640 Sorry, LGBTQ+. The new legislation constitutes a further crackdown on LGBTQ plus people in a country

00:16:34.320 where same-sex relations were already illegal, punishable by life imprisonment. It targets an

00:16:39.480 array of activities and includes a ban on promoting and abetting homosexuality, as well as conspiracy to

00:16:44.040 engage in homosexuality, Reuters reported. According to the bill, the death penalty may be invoked for

00:16:48.680 cases involving aggravated homosexuality, a broad term used in legislation to describe sex acts committed

00:16:54.000 without consent or under duress against children, people with mental or physical disabilities by

00:17:00.480 a serial offender or involving incest. So in other words, rape, okay? Sex acts committed without

00:17:09.800 consent, otherwise known as rape. And so when you hear in the headlines that they're imposing the death

00:17:15.900 penalty for homosexual acts, that's true, but what they don't often mention in the headlines and they

00:17:23.880 make you read down several paragraphs before they get to get to it is that is specifically, it's the 0.72

00:17:29.360 death penalty for rape. Okay. For the, for rape, for child molestation, um, for raping a disabled person. 0.92

00:17:39.620 That's what they're imposing the death penalty for. Um, all right. Continues, uh, a person who commits 0.98

00:17:46.920 the offense of aggravated homosexuality and is liable on conviction to suffer death, reads the amendments,

00:17:51.780 which were presented by the chairperson, uh, for legal and parliamentary affairs, Robina Rwakuju.

00:18:00.380 I think I actually probably pronounced that correctly. Rwakuju. Um, it's always a problem for me when a 0.76

00:18:06.060 country like Uganda is in the news because now I'm reading, uh, articles with lots of, uh, Ugandan names and

00:18:12.560 it doesn't always work out well for me. Opposition lawmaker, Usaman, uh, Basilarwa, Basilarwa introduced the

00:18:20.620 anti-homosexuality bill 2023 to parliament saying it aims to protect our church culture, the legal,

00:18:25.740 religious, and traditional family values of Ugandans from the acts that are likely to promote

00:18:29.800 sexual promiscuity in this country. The objective of the bill was to establish a comprehensive and

00:18:34.500 enhanced legislation to protect traditional family values, our diverse culture, our faiths,

00:18:38.720 by prohibiting any form of sexual relations between persons of the same sex and the promotion

00:18:42.360 or recognition of sexual relations between persons of the same sex. Uh, this is what this

00:18:47.400 lawmaker said on Tuesday. So that's the bill. That's what they're doing in, in Uganda. And, um,

00:18:54.180 you might ask yourself, well, uh, what business is it of ours? What laws they're passing in Uganda?

00:19:02.020 Well, the cultural colonialists in this country who are the Democrats are not happy about it. And

00:19:07.220 they believe that it's very much our business, what laws they pass in Uganda. Um, we already heard

00:19:12.220 from the Pentagon yesterday about how LGBT rights are a core part of our foreign policy. And now here,

00:19:18.180 here is a Karen Jean pair at the white house, um, fleshing that out a little bit and condemning

00:19:22.700 Uganda for this anti-gay law. She says continue. We have grave concerns with the passage of the

00:19:29.440 anti-homosexuality act, AHA by the parliament of Uganda yesterday and increasing violence targeting

00:19:36.540 LGBTQI plus persons. If the AHA is signed into law and enacted, it would impinge upon universal human 0.99

00:19:44.860 rights, jeopardize progress in the fight against HIV AIDS, deter tourism and invest in Uganda and damage

00:19:53.580 Uganda's international reputation. The bill is one of the most extreme anti-LGBTQI plus laws in the world.

00:20:02.220 Human rights are universal. No one should be attacked, imprisoned or killed simply because

00:20:09.260 of who they are or whom they love. Yes. I'm, I'm sure this is a threat that means a lot to Uganda. 0.91

00:20:16.940 If you pass this bill, it will damage your international reputation. I'm sure Uganda is 1.00

00:20:21.500 very concerned about that. Uh, and there's been a lot of a talk like this from the Democrats and the

00:20:25.940 white house. And again, this is not just about Uganda. They've, they've made it clear that this is

00:20:30.580 why they hang pride flags from all the embassies and everything else. Um, that this is a, that's

00:20:35.800 spreading LGBT rights. Um, just as they used to be concerned with spreading democracy and they still 0.93

00:20:43.800 are allegedly concerned about that, but now we're adding, you know, it's what does that mean? So

00:20:47.800 it's like, we're spreading, we're spreading a way of life. We're spreading democracy. Well,

00:20:50.520 what does that mean? Well, that's the meaning of that concept. And that agenda has changed slightly

00:20:56.060 over the years. Um, not that it was ever a good idea to go around trying to spread a way of life,

00:21:02.820 uh, in, in countries that aren't, aren't interested in it. But now that, you know, a central part of

00:21:07.860 that is LGBT rights, because as far as the powers that be are concerned, this is like the most

00:21:13.700 important part of being a, of being a, you know, a country and a democracy is protecting so-called

00:21:19.240 LGBT rights. Um, so this is just something to keep in mind whenever you hear anyone on the left, um,

00:21:32.900 condemn colonialism and talk about the dangers of colonialism and how dare, you know, uh, white 0.85

00:21:41.020 Western countries go into other countries and try to tell them how to live.

00:21:45.020 There still is colonialism happening in our world today, but it's almost entirely,

00:21:54.520 at least when, when it comes to Western countries, it's almost entirely by the left.

00:22:00.260 Okay. Because everything that they say and condemning colonialism and, uh, being anti-colonialist,

00:22:05.700 all of that is total nonsense. Uh, because they in fact believe

00:22:13.360 that every country in the world should conform to their value system. And they don't think that

00:22:21.780 Uganda has any particular right to govern itself and, uh, and have its own culture and its own way of

00:22:28.120 life. So this is, this is, that's what you're seeing there. Also something to keep in mind whenever

00:22:33.420 you hear them talk about multiculturalism and how they really believe in multiculturalism and they,

00:22:37.660 and it's so important to, to accept other cultures and celebrate other cultures. I mean, that,

00:22:41.920 that could not be more false coming from them. Celebrate other cultures. That's the last thing 1.00

00:22:49.460 they'd ever want to do. No, what, what they mean is that they want people from other cultures and

00:22:56.880 they want people who look different. They want, they want a lot of, uh, people of different skin

00:23:01.580 colors and shades and different ethnic backgrounds. Uh, they want to bring all of them together

00:23:06.080 under the umbrella of leftism. That's what they mean by multiculturalism. As I always say, it's

00:23:16.960 for them, diversity, multiculturalism, their ultimate, you know, kind of vision of diversity

00:23:22.780 and multiculturalism is, uh, you know, a whole bunch of people who look different speaking in

00:23:29.480 unison and saying the same things. That's what they mean. Because if you're really going to

00:23:35.880 celebrate other cultures, well, um, that's what this is. Okay. In fact, this, this is, Uganda is not an

00:23:44.180 outlier. Many cultures outside of the Western world are not at all accepting of, um, you know,

00:23:55.500 of our ideas of, uh, of, of, uh, sexual morality and all the rest of it, our ideas of it. They,

00:24:04.100 they, they have very different ideas about that. And it is, in fact, uh, it's not just one aspect of

00:24:12.240 their culture. It is a core part of their culture. And if you can't accept that, then, then you're,

00:24:18.800 you're not interested in, uh, in accepting other cultures. Um, you are a colonialist

00:24:26.840 who believes that we in the West know the right way to live and we have the correct value systems

00:24:34.140 and, uh, everyone else should adopt it. That's what you believe. And if that is what you believe,

00:24:38.520 then at least admit it, just come out and say it. And then we can start from an honest,

00:24:43.580 you know, playing field. We'd start an honest footing at least where everybody is saying what

00:24:50.640 they actually believe. All right. The Daily Mail, uh, has this. Nebraska's politicians started

00:24:57.040 debating a bill on Tuesday to ban surgery for transgender children and young adults after

00:25:01.560 an opponent of the bill spent three weeks blocking a vote with a filibuster. Michaela Kavanaugh,

00:25:07.320 a Democrat representing an Omaha district in the state Senate, launched her obstruction after Kathleen

00:25:12.360 Kowth, a Republican also representing Omaha introduced the bill. The bill was introduced

00:25:18.460 on January 17th and would forbid gender affirming care such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy,

00:25:22.820 and surgeries for those under 19. Kavanaugh, her supporter said that the bill was harmful to

00:25:29.000 transgender teenagers, calling it genocide and vowing to slow legislation to halt in protest.

00:25:34.980 Um, I think we have a clip of her ranting about genocide. Here it is.

00:25:38.460 I want us to have the debate on these bills and I want us to take a vote on these bills and I want

00:25:49.260 a record for the history of this genocide for those who stood by it, for those who had an opportunity

00:25:58.840 to change the course of history, the direction in which we are moving as a state and as a country.

00:26:09.040 I want a record. I want the bloody hands recorded.

00:26:15.220 This is a genocide. This is an assault on a population of people because they are different 0.98

00:26:27.600 from you.

00:26:31.100 Uh, I totally agree with at least the first part of that. Very much disagree with the second part

00:26:38.900 about how this is a genocide. Okay. Um, to, to believe that refraining from castrating, uh,

00:26:48.260 children is a genocide to believe that if you actually believe that then, then you are in fact 0.95

00:26:54.060 psychotic. You are, you are a psychotic person who you should be in an asylum somewhere. If you really 1.00

00:27:00.600 believe that you are not fit. If you actually believe that it is genocidal to not castrate and

00:27:08.140 sterilize a child, then you should be in a straitjacket locked in a padded room somewhere.

00:27:13.080 You are not fit to live in human society. You are not fit to live outside of the, outside of an

00:27:19.380 insane asylum. Um, I wouldn't, I wouldn't want to live next to, I wouldn't trust you. I wouldn't want 1.00

00:27:28.480 to live in the same neighborhood as you. I wouldn't trust my children around you. Uh, you are a dangerous

00:27:34.200 lunatic if you actually believe that. Now, I don't think that most of these people actually believe 0.99

00:27:40.180 that. Um, I think that they know that it's crazy, but they say it anyway, uh, because it's, uh, it's a,

00:27:45.980 it's a talking point, which doesn't make it much better. It doesn't make it much better. In fact,

00:27:50.560 if anything, it makes it worse. So I don't agree with that part because I am not a psych, uh, you know,

00:27:55.360 a, uh, a psychotic lunatic. Um, but the first part, she says, I want a record. There should be a

00:28:02.500 record of where people stand on this. I totally agree. I want it on the record too. I want it on

00:28:09.220 the record. Um, every single person who, uh, endorsed this idea that we should sterilize and

00:28:18.680 castrate children, who endorsed the idea that men can get pregnant, uh, that women have penises and all 0.99

00:28:23.400 the rest of it. I want, I want a record of all of that. Um, so that historians in the future can 0.99

00:28:31.620 look back and, and, and they can know who the culprits were and who was the, who was responsible

00:28:38.700 for introducing this madness into society and promoting it because historians are going to,

00:28:46.960 they are, they are going to spend centuries, uh, trying to unravel this mystery about how exactly

00:28:59.700 this madness gripped a hold of, um, of American society in the early two thousands. How did it happen?

00:29:08.920 And what was the, the agenda behind it? And did they really believe that stuff? How many people

00:29:16.820 believed it? They're going to, they're, historians are going to spend centuries. It's going to be a

00:29:20.020 mystery. Okay. This is, so you have to understand we are living through right now what will later be

00:29:25.680 considered a historical mystery. Um, you know, that's, that's the category this is going to belong to.

00:29:34.960 This is going to be like Roanoke, you know, uh, the, the, when all the villagers disappear and no one

00:29:41.400 knows where they are. And it's for centuries afterwards, people are trying to figure out

00:29:44.480 what happened. Uh, well, it's a similar sort of thing, except it's that common sense and sanity

00:29:49.800 just disappeared from society. At least from a historical perspective, that's what it's going

00:29:54.680 to seem like. It's going to seem like out of nowhere, it just evaporated. And there was this

00:29:59.540 incident of mass hysteria and lunacy. And so, uh, the culprits and the people responsible for that,

00:30:07.320 I want them on the record and I want them known because all of you people are going to be, um,

00:30:14.200 your names are, are going to be, uh, anathema for all of time. I mean, you are going to be disgraced

00:30:22.620 by the history books for all of time. Speaking of people who are a disgrace is the view had Billy

00:30:30.880 Porter on and, uh, Billy Porter. I've never, we'd never quite speak in. I guess it's also maybe a

00:30:35.500 historic mystery that will have to be unraveled, but, um, how did this guy ever become a thing? I,

00:30:43.360 it's not exactly clear other than the fact that he's black and flamboyantly homosexual. And so I guess 1.00

00:30:49.040 that explains it, but that's all he's really got going for him. And, uh, he was on The View talking

00:30:53.880 about drag queens and offering his defense of it. Let's watch. When you were here in July of 2022, 0.89

00:31:01.760 we talked about how Florida Governor DeSantis, uh, had just filed a complaint against a bar

00:31:08.720 called the R house that holds drag shows. Okay. Uh, eight months later, things have only escalated

00:31:15.040 as we talk about it. You know, it's constant, um, aggravation with this. What do you make of the

00:31:20.000 fact that we're still talking about this and that, um, it's happening in other states too,

00:31:25.440 not just Florida. Yeah. It's there's this war against trans people, which is LGBTQ plus people 1.00

00:31:32.400 and people who are othered cabaret people cabaret people. It's a circle of life. Yeah. You know,

00:31:38.640 we've all, why are they doing it for power? Yeah. Everything is about power and you could always

00:31:44.960 trace it back to the money. You say that all the time. Yeah. You know, it's, it's follow the money,

00:31:49.680 follow the power, power at any cost. It's very hypocritical. You know, the, the leading cause of 0.97

00:31:57.440 death and children are guns. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know it's the morning and I'm not supposed

00:32:05.520 to be screaming, but they're guns. Yeah. Not drag queen. Not drag queen. No, leave us alone. 1.00

00:32:13.520 You know, and it just, it's a distraction. It's a distraction on purpose. We don't know what to pay.

00:32:20.480 We don't know what to pay attention to. You know, our justice system is convoluted.

00:32:25.600 It's hard to understand on purpose. Let's be clear about that. Yeah. It's on purpose.

00:32:31.440 You know, it was like when we were talking, when we were talking about Roe v. Wade,

00:32:35.280 that the word codified came up. I was like, what is that? Yeah. And y'all didn't do it for 50 years?

00:32:43.440 What's happening? Yeah. You know, subpoenas. If any one of us is subpoenaed and we don't go,

00:32:51.840 we end up in jail, right? What's happening? That's the question we all have when we look at this guy.

00:32:57.840 So a couple of things here. First of all, I like how cabaret people, that that's been added into the

00:33:03.680 list. That's been added into the list of, there's a war on cabaret people. Is that, is that now a cap?

00:33:10.000 Is that a category of identity that we're, we would put that in the LGBT alphabet soup?

00:33:15.280 Cabaret people. He says the leading cause of death among children is, um, are guns.

00:33:23.120 And that's not even close to true. Not even close. Okay. The guns don't even, um, they are a fraction

00:33:32.000 of what is the actual leading cause of death among children. That would be abortion.

00:33:35.680 Okay. That's hundreds of thousands of children killed every year through abortion. So not even

00:33:43.040 close. Guns are a distant, distant second place. I mean, the whole thing is a, is a obviously a

00:33:51.200 ridiculous straw man, red, red herring. I mean, uh, no, no one is being killed by drag queens. No one 0.95

00:33:58.640 ever said that they are. Okay. But so is that the standard is anything's okay for children as long

00:34:06.800 as it doesn't directly kill them. So whatever it is, as long as they aren't killed by it on the spot,

00:34:13.280 it's okay. Well, these people, they, they cannot defend any of their positions because their positions

00:34:19.760 are horrifying, insane nonsense and they know, and they can't defend it. And so the straw man is all they

00:34:25.200 have. They have to constantly argue against, um, points that no one is making.

00:34:33.760 John Stewart did, did the same thing. It was a big gotcha moment. He was interviewing someone

00:34:37.520 a couple of weeks ago. Drag queens aren't killing anyone. Yeah. Who said they are? That's not the

00:34:45.120 point you moron. That's not what we're saying. We are, um, proposing this, this radical idea that there 1.00

00:34:53.200 can be things that are bad for kids, even if they aren't killed by it. Okay. There's,

00:34:59.760 there's like things that are good for children. And then there are things that are, that kill

00:35:04.400 children, but there's a lot of room in between those two things. It's not as though, well,

00:35:11.120 as long as it's not here and killing them, then it's automatically good. 0.99

00:35:14.240 Do we really need to explain this to you clowns? Do you need this explained to you? 0.99

00:35:21.200 We always come back to the same question of, are you as stupid and crazy as you are pretending to be? 1.00

00:35:27.760 You just always assume that you're not, but maybe, maybe my assumption was wrong. 1.00

00:35:32.320 And then we hear that it's about the money and power. This is all about money and power.

00:35:37.040 What money is there in, in telling drag queens that they can't strip for little kids? 1.00

00:35:44.480 Okay. When, when we tell you that you're not allowed to cross-dress and perform sexually for 0.98

00:35:51.360 children, you think we make money on that? We make money on you not sexually, um, you know,

00:35:58.800 sexually harassing children, which is what, you know, which, which is what dancing and drag for 1.00

00:36:07.280 child. That's what it is. Um, so you think, you think we, how do we monetize that? How do we 0.90

00:36:15.120 monetize you not doing that power? Like what additional power? Yeah. I mean, if we, if we stop you from

00:36:24.480 sexualizing children then, and we're able to successfully stop you, then that is exerting

00:36:29.200 power, I suppose, but this is not, this is power that we would never want to have to exert because

00:36:35.760 it shouldn't come up in the first place. But no, there's no money in it. The money as always is on

00:36:44.720 that side. And that's the case for all these things. You've noticed that there's a, the financial

00:36:50.240 incentive is on the other side. Okay. Um, there is millions and millions and millions of dollars

00:36:56.400 at stake in the gender transition industry. That is a multi, multi, multi million dollar industry. 1.00

00:37:05.440 Uh, and you've got pharmaceutical companies wrapped up into it, medical industry, hospitals, clinics,

00:37:11.600 doctors, nurses, therapists, counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, all these people. Okay. And that's not

00:37:17.660 even to mention the professional activists and the advocacy groups and the, all these people, uh,

00:37:22.540 not even mentioning that. But, but if you bring all that together, you've got tons of money that

00:37:27.900 they're making on this. Um, and if this stuff is outlawed and if we're outlawing the transing of kids, 0.87

00:37:36.300 it's not like the money goes to us now. It's not like those millions of dollars go to us. It's just,

00:37:41.180 they're not getting spent. They, they go away. No one makes them. Okay. There is not in fact a

00:37:48.300 multi-million dollar industry of stopping kids from being castrated. That industry doesn't exist.

00:37:55.660 Same thing with abortion as he mentioned. Where's all the big money there? Abortion is a billion 0.97

00:38:01.660 dollar industry. Okay. Uh, a billion dollar industry is abortion because they charge money. 1.00

00:38:11.180 Woman goes in, pays someone, oftentimes a man. This is female empowerment. I'm going to pay a man to 1.00

00:38:16.380 kill my child because I'm an empowered woman. Lots of money in that. It's also self-serving. 1.00

00:38:24.860 Okay. People defend the right to an abortion for their own convenience and for their own lifestyle. 0.95

00:38:28.780 And they'll tell you that it's, it's, they're open about it. Pro-lifers on the other hand, we don't

00:38:33.660 make any money off of this. Okay. We don't make money off of you not getting an abortion. 0.58

00:38:41.180 And we also don't benefit from it directly. We don't directly benefit from you not killing your

00:38:47.100 child, but we're speaking up for the child. We don't, we don't benefit from that.

00:38:56.660 Um, I mean, the most you get, yeah, there are, there are crisis pregnancy centers out there,

00:39:02.160 pregnancy resource centers. I'll tell you something, the people that are in that business,

00:39:05.840 they're not wealthy. Okay. They're not making anywhere close to what the abortion abortionists

00:39:10.300 are making. But even that, if you want to, if that's the big financial incentive, get in that

00:39:16.460 really profitable business of being a, of working at a pregnancy resource center, you know, real

00:39:22.360 profitable, a lot of money to be made there. I mean, we're talking hundreds of dollars,

00:39:26.860 but even that little pittance, I mean, the, the, as we fight against the abortion and, uh, if as we,

00:39:35.560 as we succeed in mitigating abortions, then, I mean, it's kind of like the goal of a pro-lifer is to 0.89

00:39:44.600 make yourself and to make this movement unnecessary, to make it irrelevant. That's our goal.

00:39:52.520 While on the other side, they are clinging to relevance and profit margins and all the rest

00:39:59.460 of it. And that's the, again, that's the case down the line on nearly all these issues.

00:40:04.380 All right. A couple other quick, uh, clips to play. Here's CNN's chief climate alarmist

00:40:10.020 here to tell us that climate alarmism doesn't actually exist.

00:40:15.600 Just into CNN, a dire warning about the state of the planet. A new UN report warns

00:40:21.040 the climate time bomb is ticking and the world is running out of time to avoid catastrophe.

00:40:26.240 So that assessment comes from the world's most authoritative body on climate change,

00:40:29.900 which says the earth is going to pass this critical warning threshold now

00:40:33.080 much earlier than expected. I mean, we're staring it down. They're talking about the early 2030s.

00:40:38.460 CNN chief climate correspondent, Bill Ware is here. So, um, please tell me we can stop this bill.

00:40:42.520 Oh, I'd love to tell you that we have to believe that and we can. And that's really the takeaway is

00:40:47.540 that the tools are in our hands. There are no miracles needed when it comes to technology. It's

00:40:51.080 all right here. It's all about political will, but let me explain the context here. Every year,

00:40:57.080 thousands of peer reviewed papers around the world look at the ice or the clouds or the penguins or

00:41:02.280 every little aspect of our changing planet. The IPCC, these are scientists from 195 countries have

00:41:08.200 to synthesize all that information. Their governments have to approve the language. And then they put this

00:41:13.140 report together and give it to lawmakers in time for this next cop that's coming up in, in the United Arab

00:41:19.180 Emirates. And it is the most unequivocal. There's no such thing as climate alarmism anymore. The time bomb

00:41:25.520 is ticking, but we have the guide on how to defuse the bomb right in our hands right here.

00:41:31.500 The time bomb, we've been hearing about this ticking time bomb for a long time. And, uh, but you know,

00:41:37.760 most, and you imagine the, uh, maybe the old fashioned cartoon time bomb with the long

00:41:44.280 wick that's, uh, it's, it's going down and it's going to explode. Um, or maybe you imagine the,

00:41:50.080 the actual digital timer on it. And, you know, we have to find a way to defuse it. You have to cut

00:41:54.300 like the old nineties action flicks. You got to, someone's got to cut, cut the red wire and the blue

00:41:58.280 wire. Um, but they keep extending the time. That's the interesting thing. They keep extending. It's all,

00:42:03.300 it's about to go off. It's always just about to go off.

00:42:06.280 And then we're all going to be dead. I will say, you know, I think if you're CNN,

00:42:13.760 CNN, they've got the chief climate reporter and he says there's climate alarm alarmism doesn't

00:42:18.980 exist. So like, because no matter, no matter what you say about the climate, whatever alarming

00:42:23.040 statements you make, it's, it's true. And so it's not alarmism. That's the point that he's trying to

00:42:27.360 make. Um, we really are on the verge of an apocalypse. Nothing, nothing alarmist about it. He claims.

00:42:33.660 Well, I think if that's the case, I mean, really the most powerful statement and the most worthwhile

00:42:41.880 thing that CNN could do is to just shut down entirely. You think about all the carbon emissions,

00:42:48.180 think about all the energy that is used just to keep a cable news channel on the air 24 seven.

00:42:54.320 Think about the carbon footprint. And if we're on the verge of, of planetary destruction because of

00:43:03.100 this, then I think you have no choice morally, but to shut down operations entirely. And that would be

00:43:08.660 a statement to the rest of the world. I mean, that, if you want to, you want to say something that's

00:43:13.500 meaningful, that would do it. You say, we're going to shut down completely because we can no longer

00:43:18.460 contribute to the coming apocalypse. We are going to, I want to hear from Don Lemon and all the rest.

00:43:24.460 We're shutting down. We're going to go live in the woods in caves. And, um, we're going to, we're

00:43:30.260 going to, we're going to subsist on, on berries and, and, uh, locusts like, like John the Baptist in

00:43:36.520 the wilderness. And that's how we're going to live our lives because we cannot contribute anymore

00:43:41.740 to the coming planetary extinction level event. That would be a statement. Or maybe it really

00:43:49.320 wouldn't be a statement at all because nobody would notice, even if they did that. This is CNN

00:43:52.640 that we're talking about. Finally, sad news from the New York Post. Rainbow haired rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine

00:43:58.520 was brutally beaten by a group of men inside the bathroom of a Florida gym on Tuesday. The 26 year

00:44:03.600 old musician and ex-con was rushed to the hospital after he was reportedly attacked inside the restroom

00:44:07.280 of an LA fitness in Southern Florida. And there is, um, there is, uh, video of this, of him. He's just

00:44:15.840 being, he's being brutally, as it says, brutally beaten and stomped on. And, uh, it's, it's not clear

00:44:21.500 what the motivation is, but then it does note in the article, he was sentenced to two years in prison

00:44:26.040 in 2019 for his role in the nine tray gangsta bloods gang facing decades in prison on racketeering

00:44:31.900 and other charges, but took a plea deal that lowered his time in exchange for helping the feds take down

00:44:36.540 his former bloods associates. And so he is a snitch. And so it's, uh, it's assumed that he was,

00:44:42.580 that that's why he was beat up because he's a snitch. But I, you know, I think that that's not

00:44:47.000 fair. And I know that, I know that I'm biased because as you know, this is my guy, Tekashi 6ix9ine,

00:44:53.140 one of the most brilliant, uh, musical artists, certainly of this century easily, but really I think,

00:44:59.500 you know, in Western history, but it's, I'm biased, but also are we really still doing this

00:45:06.220 no snitching thing like this honor code among criminals? It only works if the criminals have

00:45:13.300 some sense of honor, but they don't, this isn't the mafia in the 1940s or whatever. Okay. These are

00:45:18.520 not gentlemen criminals who wear tuxedos. Uh, that's, that's not what this is. These are,

00:45:23.780 these are savage animals. So, um, so why not snitch in that case? I mean, that's the argument I would be

00:45:30.640 making if I was Tekashi 6ix9ine, if I was in his shoes, that's the argument I'd be making. I'd be saying, 0.95

00:45:34.020 look guys, come on. I mean, we're, we're all criminals here. We don't have any sense of, we're in it for

00:45:39.540 ourselves. So come on, like, of course I'm going to snitch. I don't, what am I going to, what am I going to go

00:45:44.140 to prison on principle? What principle? I'm, I'm a criminal just like you. That's, that's the argument I

00:45:54.020 would make right before they stabbed me to death. My argument would boil down to, come on, come on,

00:45:59.220 guys, come on. And then they would cut my throat, but at least, you know, it's worth a try. Let's get 0.81

00:46:06.980 to the comment section. Castidi says, the little mermaid originally is a story about being selfless.

00:46:21.500 Yes. Told through a love story, but the whole point of it is about sacrificing oneself for the

00:46:25.460 one you love. Twisting it into the idea of self-love above all is truly inverted.

00:46:33.440 Yeah, that's, that's often one of the central themes of these old fairy tales, but, but really

00:46:37.760 this, this, this shift into making it self-focused and making it all about, you know, really the moral

00:46:44.060 at the end of the story is like a self-help maxim kind of thing. This is, this is a, a shift

00:46:51.060 that has been happening over the, didn't just, didn't just start now with Disney doing these

00:46:55.100 live action remakes. It's actually been happening for decades. I mean, going, like I said before,

00:46:59.660 you go back and you watch those cartoons in the nineties, whole lot better than what Disney puts

00:47:05.920 out now, but even then, you know, a lot of these politically correct themes and they were already

00:47:10.140 kind of neutering some of these, some of these deeper, you know, more meaningful aspects of these

00:47:15.320 stories. All right. Native Irish says, my daughter told me she was trans and that I didn't give birth

00:47:20.900 to a girl. I gave birth to a boy and her name is dead. She wants, she talks to me like trash and 1.00

00:47:25.620 there's, this is nothing new. Uh, she is, and has always done what she wants, no matter what I say. 0.97

00:47:30.640 She's now pregnant with my grandson and has told me that I'm not allowed to see him. This has done

00:47:34.940 irreversible damage to my own mental health, but has never mattered to her because everything has

00:47:38.860 always been about her and no one's feelings have ever mattered to her. Well, that's a terrible story.

00:47:42.940 I'm sorry. You're going through that. I mean, it also is, you know, she says that she's, she's not a,

00:47:47.420 you didn't give birth to a girl. Um, she's not a woman. She's a boy and yet she's pregnant. You know, 0.99

00:47:54.320 this is the kind of incoherence obviously that you see there. Um, but it also doesn't, and this is the

00:48:01.800 same story that we hear from parents have gone through this, that, um, it's this intense selfishness

00:48:09.160 on the part of the child who's, who's, uh, doing the gender, especially when it's an older, you know,

00:48:15.700 it's a child, like an adult who's going through this transition, quote unquote transition. Uh,

00:48:21.480 there's just this intense selfishness, but that's part of the ideology. That is the whole ideology.

00:48:27.520 That's the point. It's only about them. It's only about affirming them and your feelings, you know,

00:48:32.320 you exist to affirm her. That's your whole purpose in life. That's what they believe. And

00:48:41.500 that's what they've been taught. And it's a, just a terrible thing. Um, Laura says, I feel all that

00:48:49.380 this man writes times two. I completely blame the therapist. I haven't been blocked out of one of my

00:48:54.340 son's lives, uh, for almost two years now. It's so much worse than what this man says. He's being so

00:48:59.240 very restrained. It's like losing my sons only in a groundhog day nightmare that never ends.

00:49:03.920 It's felt over and over again. Uh, yeah. And that's, that's why I, I got in, uh, people on the

00:49:12.280 left were very upset. I mean, they're upset about anything I say, but they were upset recently when

00:49:15.460 I said that, um, for one thing I would rather, it is a fate worse than death for a parent to have

00:49:23.380 their child sucked into this cult. And, uh, I feel quite confident in saying that not only because

00:49:30.540 I can imagine what I would feel like if it happened to me, but I also hear from the testimonies of

00:49:35.260 people like yourself, that it is like, it's, it's like going through the death of a child.

00:49:41.700 And almost any parent would agree that, you know, you would rather die than have your child die.

00:49:46.280 Any, any, any loving parent would agree. And that's, and that's what this feels like in a very real

00:49:50.780 way. And then it's made even worse because if your child actually dies, then it's a terrible

00:49:55.620 tragedy that you never, you never fully get over, of course, but society recognizes it as a tragedy.

00:50:01.440 Where in this case, uh, much of society does not see as a tragedy. In fact, it's the other way

00:50:05.940 around. They tell you that you're supposed to celebrate this and that there's something wrong

00:50:10.020 with you if you won't. And so on top of the grief and the mourning, it's also the guilt that they try

00:50:15.780 to put on you. It's a really terrible, uh, thing. Uh, let's see. Harrison says, LOL, this ensuing war

00:50:23.800 between Knowles and Walsh is amazing. Matt's desperate attempt to validate a theory he clearly

00:50:28.880 doesn't actually believe in because he, he boxed himself into this with a series of sarcastic jokes

00:50:33.700 that now force him into this contrived devil's advocate position is hilarious. It does show how

00:50:38.520 intelligent he is though, as he on the spot defends it very eloquently. Well, you're wrong if you think

00:50:44.600 that I don't actually believe this. You know, I, I, I do totally unironically believe it. I mean,

00:50:50.320 it's one thing to talk about the UFOs and have aliens visited here before. Um, but if we're

00:50:55.660 talking about, do they exist anywhere in the universe, then I absolutely do believe it.

00:50:59.780 Patrick says, I'm with Michael after all that. Matt's argument is still just the universe is so

00:51:04.780 big. He doesn't even grapple with Fermi's paradox. If the universe is teeming with life,

00:51:09.120 why haven't we seen any evidence of it yet? So, well, Fermi's paradox to me is, is absurd.

00:51:14.920 I don't see it as a paradox at all. The idea is that the universe, if the universe has other life

00:51:22.080 in it, then why haven't we encountered it yet? Why haven't we received a signal or a visitation

00:51:27.700 or an alien probe has come by? You know, why haven't that, why hasn't that happened? And because

00:51:31.660 it hasn't happened yet, and yet supposedly there's so much life in the universe, it creates a paradox.

00:51:35.100 That's the idea. But this is first of all, built on the assumption that there hasn't been a signal

00:51:40.880 or a visitation of some kind or a probe or anything. And we don't actually know if that's

00:51:44.600 true or not, but assuming that we haven't had any kind of contact, there's no paradox here because

00:51:50.840 the universe is in fact very, very big. And I explained yesterday why the, the size of the

00:51:57.500 universe is significant and how that factors into this discussion. You can't debunk that argument

00:52:03.100 by simply scoffing at it. And the fact that you would, you would scoff at it only tells me you

00:52:08.560 haven't really considered just how vast the universe is or what that means. That's one thing I'm learning

00:52:14.200 from this conversation and from the reaction from other people. It seems like, it's like everyone

00:52:18.580 knows the universe is really big, right? Anyone will tell you that. But I think there are some people

00:52:22.040 who've never really thought about what that means. They, they, they, they, um, they've never tried and

00:52:27.520 no one can fully wrap their head around it because the, this, the distances are so large that you can't

00:52:32.620 even talk about them in a way that's a coherent. I think there's a lot of people that have never

00:52:37.160 really spent any time thinking about that. I'm weird. So I spend lots of time. I think about that

00:52:44.260 every day. A day doesn't go by when I don't ponder like the vastness of the universe. It's just,

00:52:49.740 it's just something in my mind always goes back. Um, I get, and it's strange to me to think that

00:52:54.900 there are people who don't spend any time thinking about that, but I guess they don't because if you

00:52:58.480 do think about it, you realize, I mean, think of it this way. If the universe is a country, okay?

00:53:04.500 If you think of the universe, like a country, then each solar system is a neighborhood and each galaxy

00:53:12.160 is a state, you know, by analogy, right? Okay. Well, the neighborhood closest to ours, the neighborhood

00:53:18.420 that's like one block over closest solar system is 20 trillion miles away. I mean, the next closest

00:53:26.600 house in our neighborhood right next door is a hundred million miles away. And we've never been

00:53:31.080 there and we're years away from making it there. And when we do go there, it'll take years to get

00:53:34.760 there. That's just the house next door. We, we, we've been to our mailbox, which is like the moon

00:53:40.600 when we last went there 50 years ago. And that's like, we're not even sure if we can make it back to

00:53:44.580 the mailbox. The next, for the next neighborhood, 20 trillion miles is how far away it is.

00:53:50.880 It would take tens of thousands of years to get there. Even if we were traveling at the speed of

00:53:54.900 light, it would take four years to get there and we'd all die of radiation poisoning on the way.

00:53:59.100 And we can't travel the speed of light anyway, or even come close to it.

00:54:04.080 So consider like the Voyager 1 space probe, okay? It launched 45 years ago.

00:54:08.160 Um, it's still not anywhere close. Traveling 45 years. It's going like a million miles a day.

00:54:16.400 Not anywhere close to making it out of our solar system. There's this thing called the Oort cloud,

00:54:20.880 which is this, um, ring of ice and dust surrounding our, uh, our, our solar system. And it's, it's

00:54:26.260 somewhat like hypothetical because we don't exactly know what it is or if it's even there. But the idea

00:54:30.420 is it's this ring of, of kind of ice particles, um, surrounding our solar system. Voyager space probe's

00:54:37.140 been going for 45 years. It is still 300 years away from making it to the inner edge of the

00:54:43.520 Oort cloud. You know how long it'll take to cross the Oort cloud? 30,000 years. And then when it makes

00:54:49.120 it to the other end of the Oort cloud, it still has another 40,000 years before it makes it to the

00:54:53.320 next star. That's how big everything is. Um, which just goes to show like if you don't understand why

00:55:01.320 that makes it so absurd to rule out the possibility of other life or to assume that we must have been

00:55:09.780 visited by now, if you don't understand that, I don't know how else to explain it. It's very likely

00:55:15.340 that the distances are so vast that it's impossible to traverse them. It just can't happen. And no one

00:55:21.320 ever will. We could advance as a civilization for a million years without destroying ourselves. It

00:55:26.560 probably wouldn't happen because we would destroy ourselves, but we could advance for a million years

00:55:29.700 and we still wouldn't have a way of making it out of the solar system because maybe it's just not

00:55:33.960 possible to do. Um, and even if it is possible, uh, it still, I don't know how else to explain. I've

00:55:45.600 used so many different analogies. We'll settle on that one for right now. Despite the lackluster

00:55:50.040 economy, the daily wire is thriving. And not only that we are hiring. We're currently looking for a

00:56:42.480 cancellation. Giselle Bunchen, a supermodel and ex-wife of Tom Brady is now speaking out publicly about

00:56:52.520 her divorce from the former NFL star. You might say with some truth that it's a kind of cheap to

00:56:58.580 use this story as fodder for this segment. After all, anytime a celebrity speaks publicly about a

00:57:02.760 divorce, they're guaranteed to say things worthy of cancellation. Celebrities are very often shallow,

00:57:07.880 self-absorbed and stupid, and never does that become more apparent than when they are trying to 1.00

00:57:12.320 publicly rationalize their failed marriages. Be that as it may, cheap or not, Giselle has earned her spot, 1.00

00:57:17.980 here today. Fox News has a story, quote, Brazilian supermodel Giselle Bunchen is breaking her silence

00:57:23.680 about their divorce from former NFL superstar Tom Brady. After 13 years of marriage, Bunchen spoke

00:57:29.900 her truth in a tell-all interview and put a stop to the rumors for good. Okay, in second thought,

00:57:35.000 we have to make a late addition to the cancellation. Whoever wrote this article for Fox is also canceled

00:57:39.820 because I understand that this article about a Giselle Bunchen interview is not meant to be a

00:57:43.720 classic of American writing. I realize it's just content, it's just fodder intended to be

00:57:48.580 vaguely consumed and then forgotten about five seconds later. But as someone who is also in the

00:57:54.640 business of creating internet content, can we have at least a little bit of self-respect and pride in

00:57:59.920 our craft? I mean, you packed three cliches into the first two sentences. Breaking her silence, spoke her

00:58:06.320 truth, put a stop to the rumors for good. All I'm asking is that you take an additional 45 seconds to

00:58:11.960 think of a slightly different way of wording it. You don't have to reach immediately for the

00:58:16.460 cliche clearance bin. And this is important for everyone on the internet, in the internet content

00:58:20.760 creation space to understand because they've already created AI that can write articles better

00:58:26.560 than this. So if you want to have any chance of surviving, you need to be at least slightly more

00:58:31.420 creative and interesting and human than a chatbot. But anyway, that's neither here nor there. Back to the

00:58:37.660 article, it says, the 42-year-old model said the split was the death of my dream as she lost who

00:58:42.440 was meant to be her partner for life. She lost him. Oh, she lost him, did she? What, did she let go

00:58:48.980 of his hand at the mall? Did he wander off in the middle of the night? Lost him? No, she didn't lose

00:58:54.840 him like you lose a pair of shoes. She chose to leave him. It was an active decision. I'm not sure to

00:59:02.500 what extent it was a mutual decision. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. But it's certain at least that she was

00:59:07.000 an active participant in the divorce. She didn't lose anything. She gave up. They gave up. But don't

00:59:13.080 tell her that. She likes to tell herself that this has all happened on its own through forces

00:59:17.560 outside of her control. Quote, it's tough because you imagine your life was going to be a certain way

00:59:24.400 and you did everything you could, you know. Bunchen emotionally told Vanity Fair as she wiped away

00:59:30.100 tears. I believed in fairy tales when I was a kid. I think it's beautiful to believe in that. I'm so

00:59:35.080 grateful I did. Bunchen candidly addressed the reason the former power couple decided to split

00:59:40.800 after over a decade together. Sometimes you grow together. Sometimes you grow apart, she noted.

00:59:46.060 When I was 26 years old and he was 29 years old, we met. We wanted a family. We wanted things

00:59:50.560 together. As time goes by, we realized that we just wanted different things and now we have to make a

00:59:55.140 choice. That doesn't mean you don't love this person. It just means that in order for you to be

00:59:59.300 authentic and truly live that life that you want to live, you have to have someone who can meet you in

01:00:04.600 the middle, right? It's a dance. It's a balance. When you love someone, you set them free to be who

01:00:09.660 they are. And if you want to fly in the same direction, then that's amazing. Okay, let's clear

01:00:15.740 up two things. First, if you leave your spouse, it absolutely does mean that you don't love him.

01:00:22.980 The word love has no meaning if it can apply to a broken vow just as much as it applies to an honored

01:00:30.400 vow. The way that Giselle defines love, the way that our culture defines it generally, is essentially

01:00:35.220 like this. A loving action is whatever action I happen to be taking at this moment. To love someone

01:00:43.240 is to do whatever I want to do. And this is what she means when she says the word love. It's quite a

01:00:49.300 convenient definition of the term, but it's also meaningless. It's a meaningless definition.

01:00:54.260 Love is not merely a feeling. And even if it was merely a feeling, you clearly don't feel too great

01:00:58.860 about somebody if you want to divorce them. But it's more than that. Love is a choice. It's an act.

01:01:03.000 It's a sacrifice. Love is an activity. To love your spouse is to be faithful. It is to be loyal. It

01:01:11.740 is to be reliable. It is to look out for their physical and spiritual well-being and so on.

01:01:17.220 Divorce is the severing of all of that, which is to say that it is the death of marital love. I mean,

01:01:22.100 that's the whole point of getting divorced. The most important point is that a faithful marriage

01:01:29.560 and a divorce are both choices. They are options actively chosen. Giselle talks about marriage

01:01:36.780 using passive language. We grow apart. Time goes by. Sometimes you end up going in different

01:01:43.160 directions. It's like Tom and Giselle were two pieces of litter. A couple of empty plastic bottles

01:01:48.920 floating in a puddle, randomly bumping into each other, and then drifting off in opposite directions.

01:01:54.400 She talks about it like she has no control over it. Now, in any other situation, she is certain to

01:01:59.600 speak highly and confidently of her own agency, her strength as a fierce and independent woman.

01:02:05.380 But when it comes to making excuses for a failed marriage, suddenly she's a helpless flower being 0.99

01:02:10.380 swept along by the forces of fate. Second, Giselle claims that her divorce was a necessary step in the

01:02:17.500 pursuit of authenticity. She says that in order to be authentic and to live the life you want to live,

01:02:24.160 sometimes you have to break your marriage vows and destroy your family.

01:02:28.040 And this is the part that really grates me the most and why we're talking about it,

01:02:32.300 because we hear a lot about authenticity these days. And it's always in this context. To be authentic

01:02:39.440 is to be selfish. The authentic path is the most convenient path. It is authentic to the self in

01:02:47.840 the sense that it serves the interests of the self, or at least what you perceive your interests to be.

01:02:53.720 But this is not authenticity, not in any meaningful way. If it is authentic, it's only because you are

01:03:00.760 authentically following your most cowardly and self-serving and shallowest impulses.

01:03:07.120 But there is a higher authenticity, right? There is an authenticity that we should actually strive

01:03:13.600 towards. And that is the authenticity of a virtuous life, the authenticity of faithfulness and love

01:03:22.080 and sacrifice, the authenticity of promises kept and vows upheld. True authenticity can be found in the

01:03:32.080 pursuit of something greater than yourself, which is what marriage is all about, or what it's supposed

01:03:38.720 to be. And that's what Giselle has abandoned. And that's why she is today, finally, canceled.

01:03:47.140 That'll do it for this portion of the show. So move over to the members block. You become a member today,
