The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1144 - Bud Light, Nike, And Jack Daniels Bow Before The LGBT Altar

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, it's been a wokeness bonanza this week in the corporate world as Bud Light, Nike, Jack Daniels, and Build-A-Bear all come out endorsing drag queens and transgenderism. 0.82

00:00:09.740 But why are all these companies going woke? Why is it happening? And what can we realistically do about it? I have a plan, and I'll lay it out for you today.

00:00:17.060 Also, the White House refuses to endorse any age limits at all for gender surgeries for children. They say it's up to the child to choose.

00:00:24.120 NPR gets devoured from within by its own left-wing employees, which is always fun.

00:00:27.500 And the classic American novel Gone with the Wind will now come with a lengthy essay condemning the book for its racism.

00:00:33.440 All of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:43.980 Companies aren't just selling products anymore, they're selling you.

00:00:46.880 Tech companies enrich themselves by taking your personal data.

00:00:49.620 They grab your web history, your email, metadata, your video searches to create a detailed profile on you,

00:00:55.060 and then they sell that off to the highest bidder. You have become the product.

00:00:58.900 To protect your identity and data from these tech giants, I recommend using ExpressVPN every time you go online.

00:01:03.920 Think about all the websites you visit. Everything you do, everything you say online is tracked by these giant corporations.

00:01:09.060 They're using your public IP address, and then they can uniquely match your activity to your location.

00:01:14.620 ExpressVPN makes you anonymous online by camouflaging your IP address and replacing it with a different, secure IP of your choice.

00:01:20.780 ExpressVPN also encrypts all of your data so that it's protected from hackers and anybody else that's trying to spy on you.

00:01:26.340 I love ExpressVPN because it's incredibly easy to use.

00:01:29.120 Just fire up the app, click one button, plus it works on all of my devices, my phone, my laptop, even my Wi-Fi router.

00:01:34.980 Secure yourself with the number one rated VPN on the market.

00:01:46.360 This week began with Anheuser-Busch, the makers of an alcoholic goat urine beverage who they call a Bud Light,

00:01:53.320 signing an endorsement deal with the woman-faced minstrel show performer Dylan Mulvaney.

00:01:57.640 Now, some conservatives, the ones who still somehow don't realize what time it is,

00:02:02.120 refuse to believe that Bud Light would betray them like this.

00:02:04.920 After all those many gallons of the beer-like substance they consumed out of red plastic cups in their younger days,

00:02:11.820 mostly before they were of legal drinking age,

00:02:13.720 how could the company stab them in the back now after all of that?

00:02:17.660 It must be some kind of April Fool's prank, they insisted.

00:02:20.260 It can't be real.

00:02:22.060 But then Anheuser-Busch confirmed in a statement that it was no joke at all.

00:02:25.500 Of course it wasn't.

00:02:26.200 They had indeed partnered with Mulvaney in an effort to, quote,

00:02:29.780 authentically connect with the audiences across various demographics and passion points.

00:02:34.900 So by teaming up with the trans influencer,

00:02:37.540 they had succeeded in connecting with any men in their customer base

00:02:41.380 whose greatest passion point is dressing up like an adolescent girl 0.85

00:02:44.900 and passing out tampons in the women's restroom, as Mulvaney is known to do. 1.00

00:02:49.860 But that was only the beginning of the week.

00:02:52.000 The wokeness parade was only getting started.

00:02:55.360 On Wednesday, Mulvaney excitedly announced another major brand partnership,

00:02:59.260 and this time it was Nike.

00:03:00.800 Nike is also sponsoring Mulvaney,

00:03:02.780 and in a series of posts, the male TikTok user modeled Nike leggings and a Nike sports bra.

00:03:10.080 So if you're a woman shopping for leggings and sports bras, 1.00

00:03:12.740 and you want to know what the product might look like on the female body, 1.00

00:03:16.900 you know, like your body, unfortunately you're out of luck.

00:03:19.820 But if on the other hand, you want to know what they look like on a flat-chested man

00:03:23.540 with the physique of a large tropical flightless bird,

00:03:26.300 well then, Nike has you covered.

00:03:28.740 But so far we've covered only two days of the week.

00:03:31.580 Corporate America has seven days to cram as much wokeness in as they can,

00:03:34.960 and as we've seen, they'll give it their best effort every single week.

00:03:37.740 So also then this week, a Jack Daniels campaign went viral,

00:03:41.660 a campaign which actually was first launched in 2021,

00:03:44.880 called Small Town Big Pride.

00:03:47.880 The company teamed up with drag queens from the show RuPaul's Drag Race

00:03:51.880 to promote whiskey and drag queens. 0.73

00:03:54.080 And actually, it appears that Jack Daniels produced an entire reality TV series

00:03:58.180 that they released on their YouTube channel about drag queens called Summer Glamp.

00:04:04.480 It sounds pretty gay, just based on the title and the description,

00:04:07.640 but you have no idea just how gay it actually is. 0.89

00:04:12.960 Here's a clip. 0.81

00:04:13.740 What's going on with this rain?

00:04:16.580 This is not conducive for a pride party.

00:04:18.820 We got up in the morning, honey, it was just pouring.

00:04:21.560 You can't rain on our parade?

00:04:23.100 I'm so glad we're not in drag and heels and wigs right now.

00:04:26.160 Can you imagine in, like, the weather being so bad and just makeup and hair?

00:04:29.640 Oh, that would be, oh, that stretches, honey.

00:04:32.440 But listen, people, we have a party to plan,

00:04:35.240 and we need to go get some decorations,

00:04:37.140 and we need to get this going, honey.

00:04:38.880 We're expecting people.

00:04:40.040 Let's go to the town square and get some party supplies.

00:04:42.620 I'm ready.

00:04:43.420 Oh, my gosh, she looks so stunning,

00:04:44.760 and every single one of you are dressed to the noise.

00:04:46.960 This is going to be the fiercest party Lynchburg has ever seen.

00:04:50.420 Happy Pride.

00:04:51.620 Happy Pride, sisters.

00:04:52.900 Let's do a cocktail.

00:04:53.860 Let's do a cocktail.

00:04:54.580 We should make a Jack Fire Cranberry.

00:04:56.140 Yes, we should.

00:04:56.840 Come on, can I help?

00:05:04.300 Cheers.

00:05:05.880 Happy Pride.

00:05:07.000 Happy Pride.

00:05:08.440 Yay! 0.99

00:05:10.040 We invited all of Lynchburg, so I wonder who's going to show up.

00:05:12.980 Well, let's see who shows up.

00:05:14.460 Who's there?

00:05:15.140 Oh, good!

00:05:18.320 How y'all doing?

00:05:19.380 Yeah!

00:05:23.420 You know, Jack Daniel's whiskey was founded by a guy named Jasper Newton Daniel,

00:05:28.660 nicknamed Jack, in the 1880s,

00:05:30.780 and he first learned how to make moonshine whiskey

00:05:32.780 from a local preacher in his town of Lynchburg.

00:05:35.860 I can only imagine how that old Tennessee moonshiner must feel looking on from the grave

00:05:42.280 and seeing what they've done to his beloved whiskey and his name.

00:05:45.420 It must feel like dying all over again.

00:05:48.040 And yet, this was not the only drag queen corporate brand sponsorship to make the news this week.

00:05:53.380 Build-A-Bear announced also, just in time for Easter, a new RuPaul drag bear.

00:05:58.640 For the low price of $56, you can buy a stuffed bear dolled up in hideous makeup 0.94

00:06:03.360 and a ridiculous wig, just like a real-life drag queen. 1.00

00:06:07.680 Nike, Jack Daniel's, Bud Light, Build-A-Bear, all in one week. 0.97

00:06:12.680 Brands we can add to the list.

00:06:13.960 Hershey's is another recent one, of course, of companies that have not simply gone woke.

00:06:18.480 Okay, it's not just that, but have in fact adopted and promoted

00:06:21.240 the most extreme tenets of left-wing orthodoxy.

00:06:25.840 We're talking about companies that, we're not talking about companies that simply issue

00:06:29.700 shallow platitudes about diversity and inclusion or whatever.

00:06:33.460 This is extreme, radical. 0.96

00:06:36.100 Hiring a man to model your sports bra, putting out a video series with flamboyant homosexual 1.00

00:06:41.700 drag queens vomiting rainbow colors all over the screen. 0.99

00:06:45.360 This is not entry-level wokeness.

00:06:47.100 These companies are not cautiously dipping their toes into the progressive pool.

00:06:51.320 They are diving headfirst into the deepest end.

00:06:55.080 And they're doing it in spite of the fact that their customer base is, at best,

00:06:59.580 not interested in this sort of thing.

00:07:01.780 You know, at the end of that Jack Daniel's clip, we see a burly old guy with a straw hat

00:07:05.560 and overalls and a thick Tennessee accent showing up to a bar decorated with rainbow balloons

00:07:11.360 to order whiskey from drag queens. 1.00

00:07:13.740 Okay, that is not, to put it mildly, reflective of reality.

00:07:19.560 Okay, that guy does look like a Jack Daniel's drinker and probably a Bud Light drinker, too,

00:07:24.940 if I had to guess.

00:07:25.800 But I highly doubt that he represents the typical audience for LGBT inclusion propaganda.

00:07:34.080 Rather, he represents the audience alienated by such propaganda.

00:07:38.080 So, why are the brands doing this?

00:07:41.800 What's the point?

00:07:42.880 What's their game here?

00:07:44.360 What's the play?

00:07:45.240 Is there a play?

00:07:46.400 Is there a strategy at all?

00:07:48.680 Well, to answer that, we have to understand two things.

00:07:53.160 And these are both very important.

00:07:54.640 And they're both things that conservatives tend to miss.

00:07:57.480 So, first, the brands are not trying to appeal to their customers with this kind of stuff.

00:08:06.360 So, when we say, this doesn't appeal to the customers, well, it's not meant to.

00:08:12.240 The goal is to make their customers or remake them. 0.75

00:08:16.740 So, if you're a Jack Daniel's consumer, you probably have no interest in drag queens and gay pride.

00:08:22.540 But the point is they want to make you interested in those things.

00:08:28.740 You're not now, but they want you to be.

00:08:32.180 Whose point is that, though?

00:08:33.620 Whose agenda is this?

00:08:34.700 Are the people in Jack Daniel's or Bud Light corporate offices,

00:08:38.000 are they really passionate about spreading the LGBT gospel?

00:08:41.740 Of course not.

00:08:43.620 This is where you have to understand the second point.

00:08:46.400 The left has taken away all of the neutral cultural ground.

00:08:50.400 There is no neutral ground anymore.

00:08:53.780 It doesn't exist.

00:08:55.860 This is all by design.

00:08:57.800 You're not allowed to be neutral, according to the left.

00:09:01.960 And this is why brands like Bud Light and Nike and Jack Daniel's and Bill LaBear

00:09:05.300 are giving endorsement deals to dudes in dresses and hosting reality TV summer camps for drag queens.

00:09:10.960 In the past, a beer company or a whiskey company or a shoe manufacturer,

00:09:15.180 they could basically be culturally neutral.

00:09:18.000 I mean, for all intents and purposes.

00:09:19.360 If they did any virtue signaling, and companies have always done that,

00:09:24.240 but they would have been signaling universal or what used to be universal values,

00:09:29.280 like patriotism and charity.

00:09:32.880 And we're going to wave the American flag.

00:09:35.080 And we're celebrating July 4th.

00:09:36.580 And that sort of thing.

00:09:40.600 But now the left has declared that you're either with them or against them.

00:09:45.640 This is the silence is violence principle.

00:09:47.860 And the left has ways of enforcing this principle.

00:09:51.000 James Lindsay put out an important thread on Twitter explaining one of these ways.

00:09:54.640 The far left group called the Human Rights Campaign.

00:09:57.920 They put out a report every year called the Corporate Equality Index.

00:10:02.300 And corporations are given a score, which is meant to measure their fidelity to left-wing doctrines.

00:10:07.320 If these companies do not go out of their way, again, it's not good enough to just, you know, not say anything.

00:10:13.880 If they don't go out of their way to wave the pride flag and display their wokeness bona fides, 0.59

00:10:19.400 they will be judged socially irresponsible, quote-unquote, and they'll have points deducted.

00:10:24.000 You know, and you don't want, if you're a corporation, you don't want to have a low score with the Human Rights Campaign.

00:10:32.080 The HRC is just one of many well-funded left-wing advocacy groups whose sole purpose on this earth is to use these extortion techniques

00:10:41.920 to extract ideological concessions from corporate America.

00:10:45.240 There are many well-organized, well-funded, well-oiled machines that the left has at their disposal to do exactly this.

00:10:56.220 Which leaves the brands with a choice.

00:11:00.480 They can be baptized into wokeism and openly worship at the LGBT altar. 0.97

00:11:06.600 Or they can, by default, align themselves with conservatives, thereby failing the social responsibility test.

00:11:15.240 Okay?

00:11:15.980 In other words, they can be left-wing or they can be right-wing.

00:11:19.880 And again, if your answer is, well, why can't they be neither?

00:11:22.560 I mean, why not just make the whiskey?

00:11:23.740 Why do you?

00:11:24.400 It's not an option.

00:11:25.780 That option is not being left open to them.

00:11:29.240 The left says you have to choose.

00:11:30.900 If you're not with us, you are against us.

00:11:32.860 If you are not openly left-wing, you are right-wing.

00:11:37.940 So what are the corporations going to do?

00:11:41.000 You know?

00:11:41.840 The left will do everything in their power, and they have a lot of it.

00:11:45.600 To make any corporation pay dearly for disloyalty.

00:11:50.060 Piss off the right, on the other hand, and you'll have to deal with some angry tweets.

00:11:55.080 And that's it.

00:11:56.280 Nothing else will happen.

00:11:57.760 So it's an easy choice for them.

00:12:00.920 Go woke, go broke, you know, we like to say.

00:12:04.140 We like to say that to ourselves.

00:12:05.760 It's kind of a psychological coping mechanism on the right.

00:12:08.680 Go woke, go broke.

00:12:10.000 We repeat it as a mantra in the mirror while we're doing our daily affirmations.

00:12:14.980 We whisper it while we rock ourselves to sleep at night.

00:12:17.600 It's a comforting thought.

00:12:19.480 But like most comforting thoughts, it's not true.

00:12:22.360 Because companies go woke all the time.

00:12:25.460 Almost all of them have.

00:12:27.740 And guess what?

00:12:28.560 None of them have gone broke because of it.

00:12:31.640 So go woke, go broke, at least on the corporate level.

00:12:34.400 Well, that's never happened.

00:12:38.920 Go woke, go broke really means, in practice, go woke and then continue along the same as you did before, suffering no consequences whatsoever.

00:12:46.540 However, the consequences are ultimately suffered by us because the corporate wokeness has the desired effect.

00:12:53.900 It normalizes radical left-wing ideology.

00:12:57.000 It commercializes it, which is the same thing as normalizing it.

00:13:00.260 And it gradually makes it seem less radical and less left-wing to most people, even many on the right, who ostensibly oppose the wokeness.

00:13:10.640 This is why they do it, and it works.

00:13:12.800 See, many of us still will see advertisements as merely reflecting the culture, right?

00:13:19.520 That's why we're so surprised when we see Jack Daniels turn into Jacqueline Daniella.

00:13:25.380 This doesn't reflect the Jack Daniels customer base, we shout indignantly.

00:13:29.960 But it's not meant to reflect.

00:13:32.820 It's meant to shape.

00:13:35.700 Again, they don't want to represent your values.

00:13:38.840 They want to make your values.

00:13:40.920 The brands don't reflect us.

00:13:45.740 We reflect the brands in consumerist America.

00:13:52.580 So what can we do about this?

00:13:54.740 Well, there's a lot we need to do and can do, but let's stay focused on this specific issue of corporate wokeness and one specific thing we can do.

00:14:03.700 The first is we have to realize and accept that we are right now in the position of insurgents.

00:14:11.060 The left won the culture a long time ago.

00:14:13.600 That's already done.

00:14:15.080 So we are culturally, in effect, guerrilla fighters stationed in a camp out in the forest.

00:14:21.960 We are not going to win a pitched battle against the entire system all at once.

00:14:27.780 We're not going to take on all of corporate America and bring it to its knees.

00:14:31.680 It's already on its knees, but for a different reason and not for us.

00:14:35.160 So here's what we can do.

00:14:36.340 Take a page from the left's old playbook, which is really just the playbook of cultural insurgency, and what we do is we pick one target, one victim.

00:14:48.120 You know, every brand is woke. 0.96

00:14:49.540 Every brand is kicking us in the shins and spitting on our faces. 0.98

00:14:52.040 They all hate us.

00:14:52.860 So we can throw up our hands and do nothing, which is surrender, or we can try to boycott them all at the same time, which is futile and doomed to failure.

00:15:01.160 Or we can pick one, just one, and target it with a ruthless boycott campaign.

00:15:09.120 Okay?

00:15:09.580 You just pick one.

00:15:12.080 And then you're going to have conservatives say, well, what about this one?

00:15:14.860 What about that one?

00:15:15.540 I mean, why are you boycotting this one, that, that, and that?

00:15:17.520 They're all so woke, too.

00:15:20.320 Well, because we're trying to do something here.

00:15:22.080 It's called a strategy.

00:15:23.520 Can you be strategic in your thinking for once in your life?

00:15:28.800 Target one, refuse to buy their products.

00:15:31.800 Drag their name, drag the company's name through the mud.

00:15:35.260 Make them anathema to the tens of millions of conservatives who still live in this country and whose financial support these companies still need in order to survive.

00:15:44.020 Be smart and strategic in the targets.

00:15:46.660 Start with companies who have a high percentage of red state conservative customers.

00:15:50.240 So, not Nike.

00:15:52.800 And companies that would be relatively easy to boycott.

00:15:56.460 So, not Disney.

00:15:58.520 And companies who likely have a high percentage of employees who would be on our side and are going to give pressure from the inside.

00:16:04.800 So, probably not, you know, something like Hershey's.

00:16:07.660 But you also need one that's big enough to send a message.

00:16:10.200 So, actually, Jack Daniels might be the perfect candidate for this.

00:16:13.600 Whoever it is, you make an example out of someone.

00:16:19.500 Okay?

00:16:19.940 You claim a scalp.

00:16:22.920 Force them to come crawling back to us and apologize.

00:16:26.660 Just like the corporations have been doing for the left for decades.

00:16:29.900 They never, ever do that for us.

00:16:35.000 Okay?

00:16:35.440 They never denounce anything on our behalf.

00:16:38.180 They never apologize to us.

00:16:39.900 It never happens.

00:16:42.000 Because we never really try to force them to.

00:16:44.740 But we can.

00:16:46.060 It can be done.

00:16:47.040 It is achievable.

00:16:48.660 We can exert influence on the culture in this way.

00:16:51.520 We can stand up for ourselves and show that if you insult and disrespect us, we will punch back.

00:16:56.800 We can move the needle.

00:16:57.780 We can extract concessions of our own.

00:16:59.560 The strategy does work.

00:17:00.600 I know it works because the left has been doing it forever.

00:17:03.300 Also, I know it works because we've done it.

00:17:05.420 That's what I did with Vanderbilt.

00:17:07.420 Pick a hospital in a state where I know we have influence and cultural power.

00:17:12.020 Single them out.

00:17:13.040 Focus on them.

00:17:14.200 Direct attention and scrutiny at them specifically.

00:17:16.860 Even though Vanderbilt was far from the only hospital mutilating kids.

00:17:20.220 But make them the special project.

00:17:22.420 And they collapsed under the pressure.

00:17:23.780 They shut down their mutilation program.

00:17:25.280 And the whole thing was made illegal statewide.

00:17:27.680 So it works.

00:17:28.880 And we can scale this up to target brands and corporations.

00:17:31.440 We just need focus and strategic intelligence to do it.

00:17:36.100 And we need a little bit of ruthlessness.

00:17:39.040 That's what it takes to win.

00:17:41.100 To win piece by piece, one skirmish at a time.

00:17:44.000 We can do it.

00:17:44.700 Or we can do nothing.

00:17:47.920 And keep whining impotently about problems we don't have the stomach or attention span to address.

00:17:54.680 It's up to us to decide.

00:17:57.080 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:17:58.380 Hiring used to be really hard.

00:18:06.360 You'd post your job on multiple sites, hope the right people would see it, and then you'd have to wait for them to apply.

00:18:10.940 Same goes for finding a job.

00:18:12.400 You upload your resume to every job posting site, comb through never-ending lists of jobs, trying to find the right position for you.

00:18:18.340 That's the way it used to be, but not anymore.

00:18:19.660 Because ZipRecruiter exists.

00:19:00.780 Again, that's ZipRecruiter.com slash W-A-L-S-H.

00:19:04.820 ZipRecruiter, the smartest way to hire. 0.96

00:19:07.240 All right.

00:19:07.940 It's somewhat amazing, maybe not amazing at all, actually,

00:19:11.580 that it's taken this long for this question to be directly asked during a White House press briefing.

00:19:17.880 But it did.

00:19:19.160 And finally, yesterday, a reporter asked Karen Jean-Pierre about child gender transition

00:19:23.000 and what age she thinks people should be allowed to undergo these procedures.

00:19:27.920 Actually, what age does Biden think children should be allowed to undergo these procedures?

00:19:32.600 And that's when Karen Jean-Pierre stunned the entire nation by taking a firm, common sense, 0.59

00:19:40.400 moral stand and declaring that obviously nobody under the age of 18 should be having their bodies

00:19:46.180 permanently altered and mutilated in this way.

00:19:49.240 Just kidding, of course.

00:19:50.840 That would never happen.

00:19:51.640 Her answer was as ghastly and horrifying as you would already expect.

00:19:56.020 Here it is.

00:19:56.600 Indiana just banned puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and gender transition surgeries for

00:20:03.920 minors.

00:20:04.860 I'm wondering what the president's reaction is to the Indiana governor signing that bill

00:20:08.580 into law.

00:20:09.540 And does the president have a position on at what age these kinds of therapies and surgeries

00:20:15.480 are appropriate?

00:20:16.460 That's something for a child and their parents to decide.

00:20:20.380 It's not something we believe should be decided by legislators.

00:20:25.120 Something for a child to decide.

00:20:29.880 Now, she throws the parent into, you know, she says a child and the parent can decide,

00:20:35.440 which means the child can choose.

00:20:38.300 She believes that children can consent and she isn't willing to put any age limit on it.

00:20:43.760 Okay, so she isn't willing to even say, well, hey, obviously we shouldn't be doing sex

00:20:47.720 change surgeries to toddlers.

00:20:49.800 She won't even say that.

00:20:51.180 She is not willing to put any age limit on it.

00:20:53.480 Biden isn't willing to put any age limit on it because the child can choose.

00:20:59.440 Now, if this sounds an awful lot like the building blocks for the normalization of pedophilia,

00:21:05.060 well, that's because it certainly is.

00:21:07.300 Okay.

00:21:07.660 There is, after all, one reason why we say that a quote unquote sexual relationship between

00:21:14.120 an adult and a child can't exist.

00:21:17.000 No such thing as a sexual relationship.

00:21:19.000 It is rape. 0.99

00:21:20.640 It is always rape, no matter what. 0.97

00:21:22.900 And we say that, we know that, because children lack the mental and emotional development to 0.57

00:21:28.020 properly consent to sexual activity.

00:21:29.960 That's the reason.

00:21:32.100 Okay, it's the only reason we need.

00:21:34.440 Now, children are also smaller and weaker, and so there are those physical power dynamics

00:21:38.360 which are out of balance.

00:21:39.180 But we would never say that, you know, a relationship between, you know, an adult and another adult

00:21:45.680 who's shorter and undersized is rape because of the physical power dynamics. 1.00

00:21:53.340 No, we say that of children.

00:21:55.000 We correctly say that of children because they cannot consent.

00:21:58.340 They cannot.

00:21:59.760 They just, they can't.

00:22:01.380 It's impossible.

00:22:02.060 So, it does no good for the pedophile caught up in the Chris Hansen, you know, to catch

00:22:06.540 a predator sting.

00:22:07.920 Have you ever watched, you know, those reports?

00:22:10.860 And they would always say some version of, oh, but the child said they wanted to.

00:22:15.580 We don't accept that excuse. 0.95

00:22:17.280 We were coy in disgust at that excuse because it is disgusting. 1.00

00:22:23.020 A pedophile that argues that it's okay to have sex with children because the child said 1.00

00:22:27.920 they want it, I mean, that's nauseating. 1.00

00:22:30.560 No, we say to that man, okay, you're going to prison. 0.97

00:22:32.500 In fact, better yet, you should be going to the electric chair.

00:22:36.900 Okay, well, if a child cannot consent, cannot consent, is incapable, then how is it that

00:22:44.260 he suddenly develops that capacity when it comes to sterilization drugs, castration drugs,

00:22:49.320 surgical mutilation?

00:22:50.720 I mean, how does he develop it suddenly?

00:22:52.360 How does he go from an innocent child totally incapable of consent to somebody with the mental

00:22:58.520 clarity and wherewithal to meaningfully consent to having things done to his body that will

00:23:03.540 permanently and irrevocably change him in profound, life-altering, dramatic ways in the

00:23:09.320 future?

00:23:09.940 How?

00:23:10.680 How does that work?

00:23:13.300 Now, we should address the common rejoinder here, which is that, well, this is different

00:23:19.560 because on the one hand, we're talking about pedophilia, rape.

00:23:23.040 And on the other hand, they would say, we're talking about a medical procedure.

00:23:27.380 And so these gender transitions, a medical, it's a life-saving medical procedure, in fact,

00:23:32.700 they would say.

00:23:33.320 So it's totally different.

00:23:35.900 The first problem, of course, is that chemical castration and gender transition butchery are 0.78

00:23:39.380 not valid medical procedures.

00:23:40.740 So that's all we really need to say about it.

00:23:42.720 But the other problem is that there's a contradiction here.

00:23:46.820 Because if these procedures are life-saving, if these are legitimate medical procedures

00:23:52.880 and, in fact, are life-saving, as the left claims, then why are you talking about the

00:23:58.200 child's choice at all, right?

00:24:00.480 Because in that case, in the case of actually saving a child's life, obviously their input

00:24:07.160 and their consent would be irrelevant.

00:24:08.860 I mean, if the doctor tells me that my son, God forbid, has a brain tumor, and it's obviously

00:24:16.300 we need to take the brain tumor out or your son's going to die, I'm told.

00:24:20.100 And then if my son were to tell me, well, he doesn't want to get it removed because he's

00:24:23.300 afraid of the surgery or whatever else, well, he's still getting it removed.

00:24:27.140 I'm not going to respect his wishes.

00:24:28.840 I'm going to force him to do it because I'm saving his life.

00:24:32.200 I'm going to save his life, whether he likes it or not.

00:24:35.860 He needs it.

00:24:36.660 He needs the surgery.

00:24:38.100 He doesn't know what's best for him.

00:24:39.760 I do.

00:24:40.740 He's trying to refuse it.

00:24:41.920 He doesn't know what that means.

00:24:42.940 He doesn't understand that he'll die if he doesn't get the surgery.

00:24:44.840 He doesn't even really understand what death is at his age.

00:24:47.820 So I'll force him to do it.

00:24:49.920 His consent in the case of an actual life-saving medical procedure is just not relevant.

00:24:57.500 What's relevant is what's best for the child.

00:24:59.320 We're going to save the child.

00:24:59.840 In fact, even in a non-life-saving, legitimate medical procedure, when I was 12 years old and

00:25:04.520 the orthodontist said, you need to get braces.

00:25:06.020 And I told my mom, I'm not getting braces.

00:25:07.740 I don't want them. 0.92

00:25:08.580 I don't want to look like a dork with braces. 0.94

00:25:10.140 And she said, no, you're getting them because you're not going to have crooked teeth your 0.96

00:25:12.580 whole life.

00:25:13.180 Whether you like it or not, you're getting the braces.

00:25:14.720 And I did.

00:25:15.300 So going back to the gender transition stuff, the fact that these people always say, and

00:25:23.660 they always say this, that it's a choice between the doctors, the parents, and the child, that

00:25:29.840 means that they are tacitly admitting that these procedures certainly are not life-saving

00:25:35.040 procedures.

00:25:37.280 Obviously not.

00:25:38.080 And they're not even valid, non-life-saving medical procedures, because if they really

00:25:42.280 believed that these were necessary and life-saving measures, whenever they're asked about this,

00:25:49.680 the age limit question, they would answer that, well, this will happen.

00:25:54.900 The child's consent is not relevant.

00:25:57.580 And because we're saving the child's life, it's what needs to happen.

00:26:01.680 And that can happen at any age.

00:26:03.700 Just like we would never ask, well, at what age can you have a, should a child have a tumor

00:26:07.900 removed?

00:26:08.740 Well, at whatever age he needs it.

00:26:12.500 What if the child's not old enough to consent?

00:26:14.200 Well, this is, that's not relevant to this conversation.

00:26:16.220 We're saving the child's life.

00:26:19.640 But they won't say that.

00:26:21.180 They aren't going to say that about this.

00:26:22.740 Because if they say that, then they've put themselves in the position of having to prove,

00:26:27.340 having to defend that these are actually life-saving procedures.

00:26:31.120 And they can't.

00:26:32.980 They can't defend it.

00:26:35.000 You see, they can't defend the merits of the procedures themselves, which means that

00:26:38.300 they'll retreat to this kind of, hey, it's their choice, let them make a choice thing.

00:26:43.000 They retreat to the kind of arguments that would never come up if these were actually

00:26:47.620 life-saving medical procedures.

00:26:48.920 So for the purposes of the age discussion, suddenly they talk about the procedures like

00:26:57.160 they are elective and cosmetic.

00:26:59.840 It's their choice.

00:27:00.960 Respect their choice.

00:27:03.200 Okay.

00:27:03.400 That's only the sort of thing you say when it comes to elective and cosmetic procedures.

00:27:11.800 It's the only way the child's preferences could possibly be relevant.

00:27:15.400 But if you're claiming that children can consent to elective and cosmetic procedures, now we're

00:27:20.360 back into the realm of normalizing pedophilia.

00:27:23.140 Because being able to consent to an elective and cosmetic and body-altering procedure, significantly

00:27:29.300 body-altering and life-changing, we're not talking about piercing your ear or something.

00:27:33.900 Being able to consent to that, the ability to consent to that, means that you have the

00:27:37.140 ability to consent, period, in general.

00:27:41.060 I mean, that shows a profound and total ability to consent.

00:27:45.320 Anyone that can consent to that, to life-changing, body-altering, cosmetic and elective procedures,

00:27:51.260 this is somebody who has the majority to consent.

00:27:54.060 It really is logically impossible to argue that a person is mature enough to consent to

00:28:00.920 an elective, cosmetic, life-altering, profoundly body-altering procedure, and yet not mature

00:28:06.900 enough to consent to sexual activity.

00:28:09.400 That argument doesn't make any sense.

00:28:11.160 Which is why rational, decent people take all of that and push that all into adulthood.

00:28:17.240 So you shouldn't be doing any of that into adulthood.

00:28:20.700 When it comes to gender transition, you shouldn't be doing it at all, even in adulthood. 1.00

00:28:24.060 Because you're destroying your body.

00:28:26.980 So their entire argument makes no sense.

00:28:30.220 But what we need to notice here is not only the slippery slope and what they're setting

00:28:34.480 up in the future, but also in the way that they talk about this issue when it comes to

00:28:39.000 age.

00:28:39.440 Again, they are tacitly admitting that this is elective cosmetic procedure, that it is not

00:28:46.020 a life-saving medical procedure.

00:28:50.520 All right.

00:28:51.120 Marjorie Taylor Greene upset some people with some comments that she made on Tucker last 0.99

00:28:57.100 night.

00:28:57.280 Let's listen to those.

00:28:59.300 Really quick, since you were just there, but Mayor Adams described New York as, quote,

00:29:03.260 his home.

00:29:03.840 How did his home look?

00:29:04.800 Pretty neat and tidy? 0.98

00:29:05.600 No, his home is disgusting. 0.64

00:29:09.760 I compared it to what I called Gotham City. 0.97

00:29:12.440 The streets are filthy.

00:29:13.820 They're covered with people basically dying on drugs.

00:29:17.420 They can't even stand up.

00:29:18.620 They're falling over.

00:29:19.740 There's so much crime in the city.

00:29:21.300 I can't comprehend how people live there.

00:29:23.980 It was repulsive.

00:29:25.200 It smells bad.

00:29:26.640 And I just, I think it's a terrible place.

00:29:28.860 How dare she insult New York like that? 1.00

00:29:32.900 New York is the greatest garbage heap that the world has ever seen. 0.99

00:29:37.040 And of course, the left, they were very upset about this. 0.99

00:29:39.440 Lots of people were complaining about it.

00:29:41.120 There were lots of arguments like this one that AOC made.

00:29:43.880 She said, if anybody went on TV and talked about a rural area like this, it'd be gloves

00:29:48.960 off and deservedly so.

00:29:50.300 This is no different.

00:29:51.560 If she doesn't like the greatest city in the United States, that's her problem.

00:29:54.380 I, heart, and why?

00:29:55.240 Anyway, and so there was a lot of this sort of thing, people on the left saying, well,

00:30:00.940 you know, if there was a Democrat politician who went out into the country and came back

00:30:05.280 and made these kinds of comments about the folks living out in the country, that they

00:30:09.340 would, that the right would be attacking them and everything else.

00:30:13.900 Well, yeah, but you see, you know, the difference is that if Marjorie Taylor Greene had gone out

00:30:22.780 to the country and then come back and said, well, it's filthy, it's disgusting, it smells

00:30:28.080 terrible, it's overcrowded. 0.96

00:30:29.800 There's drug addicts hobbling around all over the street.

00:30:33.100 It's crime ridden.

00:30:34.400 If she had said all that after taking a drive through the country, it wouldn't be true.

00:30:39.980 And so that's what would make it an outrageous statement.

00:30:43.380 It wouldn't be true.

00:30:44.520 That's just not true of the country.

00:30:48.780 It's true of this city, of really almost every city in America, every, every large city, but

00:30:54.540 especially New York.

00:30:56.940 So that's the difference.

00:30:57.940 Like it, it, it would be, it's not even, you know, if somebody said that about, uh, after

00:31:02.680 visiting the countryside, a rural town, you know, it wouldn't offend me.

00:31:07.780 I would just think this person's mentally ill, but to go out to the country and then come 0.98

00:31:11.520 back and be repulsed by it, to find it just to use a word like disgusting, but you got 0.97

00:31:17.480 all this open space and green and trees and, you know, they're in farms and everything to

00:31:23.320 be disgusted by that wouldn't make any sense. 0.99

00:31:26.020 That would just show that you are, that you have a, some kind of mental illness. 0.91

00:31:30.840 Whereas being disgusted by what you see in the city, that makes a lot of sense. 0.95

00:31:34.180 A lot of people have that reaction.

00:31:36.040 It's like a natural human reaction.

00:31:38.000 Much of what you see, last time I've been to New York several, many times.

00:31:41.520 Uh, including several times recently.

00:31:44.200 And every time I've gone while we're there, we spend like the whole time talking about

00:31:48.900 this.

00:31:49.040 It's just, it's gross here. 0.94

00:31:50.500 It's disgusting. 0.67

00:31:51.280 It's actually disgusting. 0.69

00:31:52.860 There are many things that would disgust any normal person. 0.96

00:31:57.280 Trash all over the place.

00:31:58.640 It does smell gross. 0.61

00:32:00.260 You know, rodents, uh, human waste on the, like, of course that's gross.

00:32:08.200 You go down to the, into the subway system.

00:32:12.420 There's, it's, it's gross.

00:32:13.880 It's grimy, grungy, you know, again, there's that, that smell to it.

00:32:21.740 If you're not disgusted by that, if you're not grossed out, it's just because you are,

00:32:26.820 you've become numb to it.

00:32:28.080 Um, it's like, it's a, it's like a Stockholm syndrome thing, but anybody who's accustomed

00:32:33.320 to being out in space and having fresh air and having, you know, and seeing trees and

00:32:38.540 grass and, uh, where, where you don't have to worry about getting carjacked at every stop

00:32:43.540 sign or stoplight.

00:32:44.260 Anyone who's been, who's used to that and then they go into the city.

00:32:47.260 Yes, it's going, it's going to be repulsive to them.

00:32:49.740 They haven't built up the, uh, kind of psychological immunity to this stuff that you have.

00:32:56.400 All right.

00:32:57.340 What else do we got here?

00:32:59.040 This is a interesting story from the Daily Wire and a funny one.

00:33:02.160 National Public Radio NPR employees accused the network CEO of racism during a virtual

00:33:07.320 all staff presentation last week, detailing financial metrics and diversity level updates

00:33:12.460 following the organization slashing approximately 10% of its workforce.

00:33:16.920 NPR officials laid off 84 employees last week and halted production on four seasonal podcasts,

00:33:21.640 including Invisibilia, Louder Than a Riot, and Rough Translation.

00:33:26.920 Nobody's heard of any of those, which is probably why they got cut.

00:33:29.860 The Wall Street Journal reported the network officially would cut another 13 employees from

00:33:33.660 the digital team.

00:33:35.060 Following the exodus from ex-staffers Lansing and other executives reportedly tuned into a Zoom

00:33:39.660 meeting to address the news department and the programming team.

00:33:42.460 Taking questions from employees that included how many employees of different races and

00:33:45.920 identities were laid off compared to those who retained their job.

00:33:49.540 Lansing said, we're here today to take your questions and see if we can move together through

00:33:53.080 this.

00:33:55.060 At one point during the meeting, the Wall Street Journal reported a laid off black employee

00:33:59.020 grilled Lansing about why some podcasts lacked marketing support, called out by name the

00:34:03.800 executives for repeating statements they made in the past concerning more accountability,

00:34:07.260 and questioned how the network would make diversity essential.

00:34:10.740 Lansing pointed to the network's mission statement and told the group to turn down the rhetoric

00:34:15.260 and refrain from naming the executives.

00:34:17.940 He said, you know, I would never do that to you.

00:34:19.840 He said, we're all in this together.

00:34:21.900 Despite Lansing's remarks about making such decisions, a group of employees reportedly accused

00:34:25.620 him of tone policing, causing them to feel offended and uncomfortable with the conversation,

00:34:29.900 which he said should be more civil.

00:34:34.360 And then they accused him of being racist.

00:34:36.840 So that's basically a story.

00:34:38.260 And you have to enjoy this, right?

00:34:39.200 This is not go woke, go broke.

00:34:42.360 Okay, I wish it was, but NPR will be fine.

00:34:44.680 It has institutional support.

00:34:46.300 The left wants it around, and so it's going to stay around.

00:34:48.780 But at least we can enjoy the schadenfreude of seeing individual people within the organization

00:34:54.400 get eaten alive by the monster they helped to create.

00:34:57.640 So we can enjoy that at least.

00:34:59.100 That part is enjoyable.

00:35:00.400 And we should really enjoy it.

00:35:01.980 I think it would be rude and ungrateful to not enjoy it.

00:35:06.040 And these are the rules now.

00:35:08.060 You know, if you're a white leftist in a position of power within any organization, you help 0.85

00:35:15.960 to establish these rules, which clearly say that you can't do anything that a black person 1.00

00:35:24.080 doesn't like without being racist. 0.77

00:35:25.220 And you certainly can't fire them. 0.98

00:35:27.880 You can't fire a black person as a white person without being automatically racist.

00:35:31.680 And you can't, and if they shout and scream at you, you can't object or you are tone policing. 0.50

00:35:41.220 And the left has a euphemism for everything, especially they have euphemisms to excuse their

00:35:45.480 own crappy behavior, we know.

00:35:47.360 So suddenly expecting somebody on the left to display a modicum of respect and maturity,

00:35:53.140 that is now tone policing, which is one of the many euphemisms that I sort of wish had existed

00:35:59.860 when I was a kid, when I was younger.

00:36:02.080 Maybe I could have tried that on, I don't know, I could have tried that on my dad or something.

00:36:07.960 If he told me to do something, I responded with a sarcastic remark.

00:36:11.480 And he said, watch your tone, young man.

00:36:13.580 I said, hey, dad, you know what?

00:36:15.740 It feels like you're tone policing right now.

00:36:18.140 Feels a little fascist, to be honest with you.

00:36:19.920 Maybe I'm glad the euphemisms didn't exist, because I don't think that would have gone

00:36:23.920 well.

00:36:24.680 Daily Wire also has this report.

00:36:25.780 Tennessee Republicans have moved to expel three Democratic state representatives from the

00:36:29.180 House who joined protesters during their storming of the Capitol building last week, leading

00:36:34.340 chants with a bullhorn and disrupting the floor session.

00:36:37.540 Expulsion resolutions have been filed against Representative Gloria Johnson, Representative

00:36:41.260 Justin Jones, and Representative Justin Pearson over their actions last Thursday after

00:36:46.000 about 400 people rushed into the Tennessee State Capitol building in Nashville.

00:36:49.920 And a final vote on whether to remove the Democrats will take place on Thursday.

00:36:55.220 I certainly hope that they go through with it.

00:36:57.580 The fact that they're trying to pass these resolutions in the first place is a really

00:37:00.660 good sign.

00:37:01.680 And this is, I got to tell you, the Tennessee GOP has been really impressing me lately.

00:37:06.260 And they're impressing me because they are using the power that's been entrusted to them

00:37:11.280 by the voters.

00:37:12.260 That's what's impressive.

00:37:13.020 They are operating on the mandate that the voters have given them by electing them to

00:37:18.140 use the power that the law gives them to enact the agenda that the people of this state want

00:37:23.920 and support.

00:37:24.420 That's what they're doing.

00:37:25.400 I'm highly impressed by that.

00:37:26.820 I shouldn't be so impressed, right?

00:37:28.280 I should be just sort of pleased.

00:37:30.280 When we see this from Republicans, we shouldn't be super impressed.

00:37:33.740 We should be pleased, kind of tip our cap and say, well done.

00:37:36.880 And that should be it.

00:37:38.080 But we shouldn't be blown away, impressed by it, because we should be accustomed to Republicans

00:37:45.100 simply using the power at their disposal to enact the agenda that they ran on.

00:37:50.060 That's what they're supposed to do.

00:37:51.260 That should be kind of a default position.

00:37:54.640 But we're not used to that because Republicans don't usually do that. 1.00

00:38:00.180 So yes, kick their asses out. 1.00

00:38:03.660 That's what they deserve. 1.00

00:38:04.780 That is 100% what they would do if the shoe is on the other foot.

00:38:10.640 We know that.

00:38:12.480 And in spite of what they would do, aside from that, it's the right thing to do.

00:38:17.380 You know, they, by their own standards, they participated in an insurrection right here

00:38:21.640 in Nashville.

00:38:22.700 And they should go to jail for it.

00:38:24.840 Not going to happen.

00:38:25.600 At the very least, they could be expelled.

00:38:27.700 All right.

00:38:28.320 One other thing.

00:38:29.160 CNN has this report.

00:38:31.000 Here's the headline.

00:38:32.400 Silent Screens.

00:38:33.400 New Research Finds Plants Cry When Stressed.

00:38:37.940 And they put out a, it's actually a lengthy report.

00:38:41.020 It's like six minutes long.

00:38:42.140 We're not going to watch the whole thing.

00:38:43.480 But let's just watch a little bit of this, about the traumatized tomato plants.

00:38:48.500 Let's watch.

00:38:48.900 Now, your house plants might be crying out for help, if only you could hear them.

00:38:54.900 Researchers at Tel Aviv University found that plants make popping sounds undetectable to

00:39:00.860 the human ear, and they get noisier if they need water or if their stems have been cut.

00:39:07.920 The audio of the sounds made by a dry tomato plant have been sped up and edited so it can be heard.

00:39:15.580 Have a listen to this.

00:39:16.380 Fascinating stuff.

00:39:29.400 For more on this, I'm joined by Yossi Ovel.

00:39:31.860 He's a senior lecturer at the Department of Zoology at Tel Aviv University and a co-author of the study.

00:39:38.920 But, Professor, this blew us away in the newsroom.

00:39:41.680 We found it all fascinating.

00:39:43.600 What made you even think to listen to plants, to try to listen?

00:39:49.000 Okay, good morning, Michael.

00:39:50.420 So, actually, the idea was of my colleagues originally, of my colleague Lila Hadani, who's a plant scientist working on evolution.

00:39:58.920 And we know that plants can communicate with each other using chemicals, volatiles.

00:40:03.940 We know they communicate with animals.

00:40:05.200 He's giving a long answer.

00:40:06.420 You can turn that off.

00:40:07.060 Pause it.

00:40:07.460 But he's giving a long answer there.

00:40:10.160 I mean, the real answer when he's asked, what made you think to try to listen to the sounds plants make when you cut into them?

00:40:15.740 The real answer should have been, well, I have a mental illness, and that's what made me think to do that.

00:40:20.580 But this is, listen, this is a point that I've made to vegans.

00:40:25.520 Plants are living things, too.

00:40:28.120 And I think this is the problem you run into if you're a vegan.

00:40:30.200 When you start making the moral argument against eating meat, you end up having to defend your position based on this kind of species chauvinism.

00:40:41.060 Now, I don't have a problem with species chauvinism.

00:40:42.900 I am a speciesist, and proudly, I proudly engage in that sort of discrimination myself.

00:40:49.540 I absolutely believe that human beings are the superior species on planet Earth.

00:40:53.580 We have dominion over the other species.

00:40:55.340 And while we should respect them as living creatures, as God's creatures, we do also have the moral right to utilize them for legitimate ends.

00:41:02.940 And legitimate ends means food, labor, protection, even entertainment.

00:41:07.140 Like, animals, people always feel sorry for the animals at the zoo.

00:41:10.380 I don't feel sorry for them.

00:41:11.040 They are fulfilling, arguably, the highest vocation that any animal can possibly fulfill because they're bringing joy to human beings and especially to children.

00:41:20.640 That's a wonderful life for an animal.

00:41:23.840 So I believe that.

00:41:25.780 But if you're a vegan, you would reject everything that I just said, and you would reject this kind of hierarchical view of life on the planet.

00:41:33.020 You would say, well, who are we to think that we can use other living creatures?

00:41:37.680 But the problem is you're only kicking the can down the road, right?

00:41:40.820 You're not getting rid of the species hierarchy.

00:41:42.780 You're adjusting it because plants are living things, too.

00:41:45.940 And you might say, well, plants don't have feelings.

00:41:47.640 They aren't self-aware.

00:41:48.440 They aren't conscious.

00:41:49.140 To which I respond, first of all, the chicken that they killed to make the chicken wings I ate last night also doesn't have feelings or self-awareness.

00:41:56.920 But then I would say, secondarily, and maybe slightly contradicting myself, but whatever, how do you know that the plants don't have feelings and consciousness?

00:42:05.380 How do you know that?

00:42:06.100 Have you ever been a tomato?

00:42:07.440 How can you say what the experience of a tomato is like?

00:42:11.700 I mean, for all we know, tomatoes have a rich inner life.

00:42:15.040 We don't, you know, for all we know, they have feelings and dreams and desires.

00:42:18.080 Maybe tomatoes are in the garden singing to each other and reciting poetry.

00:42:21.980 We don't know that.

00:42:23.220 But actually, we do know.

00:42:24.040 Apparently, they are crying out in pain.

00:42:26.980 That didn't sound like cries to me.

00:42:28.200 It sounded more like Morse code.

00:42:29.560 They're tapping out a message to us saying, please stop eating us.

00:42:32.480 They scream out in agony as you, the vegan, viciously slice into them and eat their flesh while they're still alive, watching as pieces of them are consumed.

00:42:44.960 And the other members of the vegetable community, you know, the lettuce and the cucumber and the carrot and Joe Biden and all of them, they sit in your salad watching in horror as their comrades are devoured.

00:42:55.200 And you people have the gumption and the gall to judge the rest of us for doing exactly what you're doing while you engage in this plant-based genocide.

00:43:05.760 It's outrageous.

00:43:07.940 So can't we all agree that we should be able to eat whatever non-human life forms we want? 0.96

00:43:15.880 I think that's the rule that I would set.

00:43:17.340 I think that's the most simple thing, because if we can't agree on that, then we end up with this kind of self-contradictory mess, this arbitrary hierarchy.

00:43:25.960 It doesn't make a lot of sense.

00:43:27.160 Or you could take a more consistent position and just say, well, we should all starve to death and not eat anything.

00:43:31.700 But if we're not going to do that, then I think we're only left with eat whatever you want, eat any living thing you want, as long as it's not a human being.

00:43:40.860 That's where I would, I think that's where you have to lay the marker down.

00:43:46.960 Good.

00:43:47.440 So we've settled that.

00:43:48.460 Veganism is no more. 0.90

00:43:50.380 Let's get to the comment section.

00:43:51.680 If you're a man, it's required that you grow a beard.

00:43:57.020 We're the sweet baby gang.

00:44:01.780 Locutus says, if Dylan Mulvaney is indeed what he says he is, an adolescent girl, then Bud Light should be indicted for providing an underage girl with alcohol.

00:44:09.460 That would be holding them to their own standards, as Matt says.

00:44:12.000 Very excellent point.

00:44:13.820 Now, when you're dealing with this subject, the contradictions, the inherent self-contradictions are so rampant and rife that you can really choose your pick of the litter.

00:44:22.600 But there's one.

00:44:23.160 Basti says, Walsh, I remember a few years back asking you to leave a sinking ship.

00:44:30.100 I was so wrong.

00:44:30.800 Your voice alone is taking the Daily Wire in the right direction.

00:44:32.820 Watching your take from the car in the driveway was so relatable.

00:44:36.360 I wasn't in my driveway, first of all.

00:44:38.220 I was usually in a, like a parking lot, oftentimes a Walmart parking lot, sometimes a parking garage if the sun was shining too brightly.

00:44:46.040 So that's the first thing.

00:44:47.040 And also, it's not, it's definitely not just my voice here at the Daily Wire at all.

00:44:50.480 But, thank you.

00:44:53.620 Let's see.

00:44:55.580 Barry says, I don't understand. 0.79

00:44:57.400 Trump had sex with someone, then said to them, here's some money, don't tell anybody.

00:45:00.860 I'm not American, so there's obviously some nuances to the word felony that I don't get. 0.96

00:45:05.140 No, you get it.

00:45:06.620 You absolutely get it.

00:45:07.600 You get it more than the DA of Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, does.

00:45:11.100 It's not a crime.

00:45:12.180 It's not moral.

00:45:13.540 You know, it's not morally defensible. 0.99

00:45:16.800 Having an affair with a prostitute is immoral. 0.96

00:45:21.940 Paying her to keep silent is immoral. 0.94

00:45:25.000 It's also, well, the immorality was having the affair in the first place. 1.00

00:45:28.400 Paying her for her silence was really stupid. 1.00

00:45:31.960 It was a stupid thing to do. 1.00

00:45:33.700 And it was stupid on multiple levels. 1.00

00:45:35.600 And, like, the first level being really, you know, the main reason is that Trump should have realized that, you know, in modern America, it's not actually going to hurt you politically for it to come out that you had an affair with a prostitute. 1.00

00:45:52.500 So there's no reason to even pay for her silence in the first place.

00:45:55.880 And even if you do, you obviously can't trust her to actually stay silent, so you're just wasting your money. 0.99

00:46:00.360 So immoral and stupid, definitely not illegal. 0.99

00:46:04.740 I mean, how can it be? 1.00

00:46:06.320 How could that possibly be illegal?

00:46:09.780 Unless we're making extramarital affairs illegal.

00:46:12.560 Is that what we're pushing towards?

00:46:13.700 Is that what Alvin Bragg wants in Manhattan?

00:46:16.480 Let's have a law where it's illegal to have an extramarital affair in the first place? 1.00

00:46:19.620 If that's what you're advocating for, I'm listening.

00:46:22.340 But I don't think that is what they're advocating for.

00:46:26.260 And if that was against the law in Manhattan, then the entire city would be, you know, in a labor camp by now.

00:46:34.960 Which is just yet another reason why I would eagerly listen to such a proposal.

00:46:39.920 But that law, again, is not on the books.

00:46:45.040 Grand Marshal Steve says, Matt is delusional if he thinks DeSantis would do better than Trump.

00:46:49.620 Look, DeSantis did win a purple state by 20 points.

00:46:54.220 He flipped cities that were blue, red, so we know that he can do that.

00:46:58.160 Yeah, it's on a state level, not a national level.

00:47:01.580 But the main thing with DeSantis for me is that he is an unknown entity on a national level.

00:47:05.920 He's basically, people know who he is, but how he would fare in a national election, that is unknown because he hasn't done it before.

00:47:13.000 Which means that there's the potential for a high ceiling.

00:47:19.240 The issue with Trump, okay, it's just we have to face reality.

00:47:23.940 The issue is that we kind of know where the ceiling is because we know that there's so much baked in and there's no one left to convince.

00:47:33.460 So there's really no mystery.

00:47:35.480 You can kind of look right now around the country and you can see, okay, well, how many people are there who would potentially vote for Donald Trump?

00:47:42.900 It's not going to change.

00:47:43.960 Whatever it is right now, it's not going to change in 2024.

00:47:46.660 And my worry is that the ceiling is almost high enough to get over the edge and win the election.

00:47:58.160 I'm not sure that it's high enough, though.

00:48:00.180 It's a numbers game.

00:48:02.260 For DeSantis, it would be a real challenge, too. 0.95

00:48:05.420 But there I see, you know, it's like the Dumb and Dumber thing. 0.80

00:48:08.260 At least there's a chance.

00:48:09.460 So you're saying there's a chance.

00:48:10.640 I see a chance there with Trump.

00:48:14.260 I just don't know.

00:48:18.200 St. Pete Runner says, so your argument is you think Trump should be above the law because other rich and powerful people are, LOL.

00:48:25.560 No, I don't think anyone should be above the law.

00:48:27.340 I don't think Trump should be above the law.

00:48:28.760 But they're treating him like he's beneath the law.

00:48:31.460 Okay, they're treating him like they can make up laws to put him in jail.

00:48:36.140 Okay, they're treating him unequal in the other direction.

00:48:39.320 And I'm not okay with that either.

00:48:42.000 He didn't commit a crime.

00:48:44.260 They haven't even officially accused him of an actual crime.

00:48:48.280 And yet they're prosecuting him anyway.

00:48:51.360 And then Dudley Buchanan says, it's very evident that your company has thrown their support behind DeSantis, which is fine.

00:48:56.180 I can only speak for myself.

00:48:57.180 But you were obviously alienating me or you were close to alienating me by pushing us constantly to be as rhino as you obviously are. 0.99

00:49:04.300 We get it.

00:49:04.900 You don't like Trump and you're working on making sure that DeSantis is pushed forward.

00:49:07.880 You're making a terrible mistake because you're going to lose a lot of us.

00:49:10.460 Okay, first of all, the company isn't supporting anyone.

00:49:13.780 The company doesn't tell me who to support or not support.

00:49:16.640 It always makes me laugh when I hear this from people.

00:49:18.600 Oh, you're doing this.

00:49:19.600 This is the company lying.

00:49:20.880 They're feeding you.

00:49:21.820 My entire time here, I've never had one conversation with anyone about we need you to take this position on this issue.

00:49:30.760 It never happened.

00:49:32.140 It's laughable.

00:49:32.820 And if it ever did happen, I would walk right out the door.

00:49:38.320 And not only that, I would tell everyone it happened because that would be such a betrayal.

00:49:44.220 But it never has and it never would.

00:49:46.300 Just never would.

00:49:49.260 But look, if you think I'm a rhino, by which I assume you mean fake conservative,

00:49:54.260 you know, establishment squish or whatever, if you can listen to everything I say on this show every day

00:50:02.420 and you can see the things that I do to actually fight in real and tangible ways in the culture

00:50:07.880 and in ways that, you know, very few people on our side are willing to do.

00:50:13.740 If you can look at that and come away with the conclusion that I'm like a fake conservative

00:50:20.260 because I don't praise Trump enough by your standards, then you're, you know, I'm sorry,

00:50:24.980 but your mind has been totally claimed.

00:50:26.980 It's been possessed by a personality cult and there's not a lot I can say to you.

00:50:30.640 Like if Trump is still your litmus test for true conservatism,

00:50:34.340 if that's the one thing you base it on is what a person says about Trump, about one guy, about a politician,

00:50:41.520 then there's not a lot for us to talk about.

00:50:44.740 It's just not it.

00:50:46.520 And one guy, one politician will never be the litmus test.

00:50:51.540 Yeah, it's no secret.

00:50:52.980 I like DeSantis.

00:50:53.800 I like his policies.

00:50:54.740 That's why I like him.

00:50:56.020 But I'm not sitting here saying, if you don't support DeSantis, you're not a true conservative. 1.00

00:50:59.200 What an idiotic thing to say. 1.00

00:51:01.200 He's a politician. 1.00

00:51:02.540 You can say whatever you want about him.

00:51:05.040 Okay, you're not ever going to offend me for insulting a politician, even the ones that I like.

00:51:10.100 You know, he's also, he's not my, he's not my best friend.

00:51:12.640 Okay, he's not my,

00:51:13.380 he's not my dad.

00:51:14.700 He's not, he's not like a family member who I feel this intense loyalty to, or this, you know,

00:51:19.060 a blood tie with.

00:51:20.580 He's a politician.

00:51:21.900 I like him conditionally because he supports, he enacts policies that I support.

00:51:25.940 I'm ready to withdraw that support at any time if he, you know, stops fulfilling his promises,

00:51:35.320 if he sells out, if he goes, you know, I withdraw that support in a heartbeat.

00:51:39.160 I wouldn't even have to think about it.

00:51:40.320 So that should not be your litmus test.

00:51:45.040 You know, if you want to know who the true conservatives are, yeah, listen to what they say,

00:51:49.380 listen to the, listen to the stances they take, and then watch what they actually do.

00:51:52.940 And I will say that, you know, I've, I put quite a lot on the line for this movement and, and we've

00:52:01.680 achieved real victories.

00:52:02.880 And so, yeah, I'm going to exercise my right to support or not support whoever the hell I want

00:52:08.900 when it comes to politics.

00:52:09.880 We're coming up on nine months since I released the groundbreaking documentary,

00:52:15.580 What is a Woman? 1.00

00:52:16.120 Exposing radical gender ideology for what it is.

00:52:18.740 And you'd think that this would be ample enough time for people to come up with an actual answer

00:52:22.900 to the question, but you'd be wrong.

00:52:24.840 As I discovered at the Young America Foundation Q&A in New Mexico just two nights ago,

00:52:28.620 their answers are still just as confusing and nonsensical as they ever were.

00:52:32.280 After my speech, multiple critics of mine and critics of reality evidently stepped up to the mic

00:52:36.820 in an attempt to challenge me.

00:52:38.160 They cited the usual gender as a social construct type of stuff, other long-winded nonsense.

00:52:43.720 When talking to one self-identified trans woman, quote unquote, so a biological male,

00:52:48.460 I asked a simple, very predictable question that you'd think they'd have an answer for by now.

00:52:52.840 What is a woman? 1.00

00:52:54.200 You know, they've heard it enough.

00:52:55.180 You'd think they'd have an answer.

00:52:56.560 Here's what the person said.

00:52:57.380 A woman is someone who is included and respected and seen and participates in society recognized

00:53:03.580 by other women. 0.93

00:53:04.880 Which means that the definition is not only circular, but it also is dependent on other

00:53:10.700 people's validation.

00:53:11.700 If you haven't seen what is a woman yet, or if you still are on, if you're on the left

00:53:16.160 and you still somehow find yourself confused about basic biology, I've got some good news

00:53:38.640 Now let's get to our Daily Cancellation.

00:53:44.460 If you listen to this show, then you know all about the recent epidemic to hit the publishing

00:53:48.840 industry.

00:53:49.520 It's a parasitic infestation known as sensitivity readers.

00:53:53.200 These are the woke hall monitors hired to read over and apply their sensitivities to both 0.97

00:53:58.540 new and old works of literature.

00:54:00.840 And following the guidance of the sensitivity readers, books are rewritten, languages change,

00:54:04.860 characters, descriptions are edited or removed, so the story can more closely conform to the

00:54:09.940 sensibilities of Zoomers on TikTok. 0.66

00:54:12.500 Now, as we know, they've already subjected the works of Roald Dahl and Ian Fleming to this

00:54:18.020 humiliation.

00:54:19.400 Many other authors living and dead have fallen victim to it as well.

00:54:23.340 So when you hear that they have released a new edition of the 1936 novel Gone with the Wind,

00:54:28.880 you'll probably assume that this book was also vigorously harassed and assaulted by these

00:54:33.780 sensitivity readers.

00:54:35.260 But that is not the direction that the publisher, Pan McMillan, decided to go.

00:54:39.480 Because apparently this classic novel set in the South during the Civil War era is so thoroughly

00:54:44.240 objectionable, so deeply shocking and problematic, that it's beyond the powers of the sensitivity

00:54:49.380 readers to fix.

00:54:50.960 From what I understand, a group of sensitivity readers actually tried to make revisions, but

00:54:55.540 after reading just two pages of the book, they all spontaneously combusted, leaving behind

00:54:59.260 nothing but a rainbow-colored cloud and tufts of blue hair floating around.

00:55:04.020 I mean, it was a tragedy.

00:55:05.940 So the publisher has decided to, instead of doing that, they can't lose any more sensitivity

00:55:10.460 readers, they're going to adopt a new strategy.

00:55:13.700 Rather than changing the book, they'll release it in its original form, prefaced with a lengthy

00:55:19.540 essay apologizing for the book's existence.

00:55:22.620 So they're still going to publish Margaret Mitchell's classic work, and they're going to profit

00:55:26.020 off of it, but they will scold her sternly for her bigotry in the process. 1.00

00:55:30.960 The Post Millennial has this report.

00:55:32.900 Pan McMillan, the publisher of Margaret Mitchell's classic 1936 American novel, Gone with the Wind,

00:55:38.220 has added a trigger warning in the preface of the book's most recent publication, telling

00:55:41.680 readers that the text is harmful and problematic because of its white supremacist qualities.

00:55:46.380 Telegraph reports that the publisher specifically hired a white writer, Philippa Gregory, to pen

00:55:51.060 an essay to accompany the trigger warning, and details the book's white supremacist elements

00:55:55.240 to avoid hiring a black writer and giving them the emotional labor of such a task. 0.88

00:56:02.780 Now, I'm going to take a brief sidebar here.

00:56:05.720 So they hired a white writer to write this apology, not a black writer, because they didn't 0.96

00:56:11.300 want to give the black writer the emotional labor.

00:56:13.940 And I want to say this invention of this concept of emotional labor is perhaps the best evidence

00:56:21.020 that we have that human beings, by our nature, need some hardship in life, right?

00:56:27.800 We need work.

00:56:28.680 We need suffering.

00:56:29.600 We need pain.

00:56:31.180 A life devoid of any sort of resistance becomes boring and meaningless.

00:56:34.580 It's like playing ping pong against a blind guy with no arms. 0.99

00:56:37.260 You'll win every match, which is nice, but it's not going to be very fun because it isn't

00:56:40.760 challenging.

00:56:41.980 So after a while, you'll start to wonder, why even bother?

00:56:45.920 Modern existence is sort of like this.

00:56:47.660 There are drugs to numb every pain, screens to keep us distracted from every uncomfortable

00:56:51.760 thought or emotion, and drugs to numb those as well, machines to do most of our work for

00:56:57.060 us, shortcuts to get around every difficulty.

00:56:59.360 We can have anything we want, any product, any meal delivered to our doorstep.

00:57:03.500 A life of relative ease and low resistance unfurls before us.

00:57:08.540 And many people, to ensure that no inconveniences intrude into this picture, elect also not to have

00:57:13.380 children.

00:57:13.740 Because even with all these modern luxuries and workarounds, parenting is the one way to

00:57:18.420 introduce real high-stakes challenges into your life.

00:57:22.680 And many shy away from it for that exact reason.

00:57:25.760 But they're stuck with human nature regardless.

00:57:29.080 They let their laziness and weakness govern their lives, yet they still desire at least the

00:57:34.660 illusion of hardship.

00:57:36.340 And this, I believe, is the real source of left-wing victim mentality.

00:57:39.380 It's why they come up with ideas like emotional labor.

00:57:41.420 They don't want to do anything that requires real labor.

00:57:44.360 So instead, they just tell themselves that by existing in their identity group, they are

00:57:48.500 constantly engaged in this kind of invisible, emotional labor.

00:57:52.800 These people love to talk about how exhausted they are, how stressed, how overwhelmed.

00:57:56.480 But they fetishize all of those emotions because they've never authentically experienced them.

00:58:02.180 That's what this is about.

00:58:04.180 Like I said, that was a sidebar, but worth noting.

00:58:06.340 So back to the article.

00:58:06.960 So Gone with the Wind is set before and during the American Civil War and tracks protagonist

00:58:11.380 Scarlett O'Hara, the daughter of a southern plantation owner, as she navigates the tumult

00:58:14.900 of her times.

00:58:15.920 The story begins with O'Hara living in relative comfort and excess as she considers a variety

00:58:19.100 of men to be her suitors, but her lifestyle radically changes through the course of the

00:58:22.120 war.

00:58:22.840 The book's publisher now warns readers that they could find the way Mitchell depicted the

00:58:27.140 South as racist and hurtful or indeed harmful, that the reader will encounter shocking

00:58:31.640 elements.

00:58:32.080 The warning reads,

00:58:34.160 Gone with the Wind is a novel which includes problematic elements, including the romanticism

00:58:37.680 of a shocking era in our history and the horrors of slavery.

00:58:41.060 This novel includes the representation of unacceptable practices, racist and stereotypical depictions

00:58:45.160 and troubling themes, characterization, language and imagery.

00:58:48.100 The warning continues.

00:58:49.760 The publisher notes that the book remains true to the original in every way and is reflective

00:58:53.280 of the language and period in which it was originally written.

00:58:55.640 And they believe changing the text to reflect today's world would undermine the authenticity

00:58:59.060 of the original, so as they've chosen instead to leave the text in its entirety.

00:59:03.200 This does not, however, constitute an endorsement of the characterization, content, or language

00:59:07.000 used.

00:59:08.340 The publisher adds.

00:59:10.100 And that's just the trigger warning.

00:59:11.260 It's only after the trigger warning that we get the essay from Philippa Gregory condemning

00:59:15.320 the author of the book for endorsing the, quote, lost cause and, quote, defending racism

00:59:20.640 and, quote, glamorizing and preaching white supremacy.

00:59:24.040 So really there are two prefaces and apologies.

00:59:26.500 The first is a trigger warning from the publisher.

00:59:28.860 The second is a lecture condemning the very book that the reader has presumably purchased

00:59:33.060 with the intent of reading.

00:59:35.680 Now, let me make one point about this.

00:59:39.740 I am extremely sick and tired of this pompous, self-inflated attitude which retroactively condemns

00:59:48.720 people from other eras for failing to have adopted the beliefs and presuppositions of people

00:59:53.520 in our era.

00:59:54.360 So, will you find, quote, unquote, racism in the words and writings and actions of lots

01:00:01.800 of people who lived 90 years ago or 150 years ago or at any other point in history before

01:00:07.400 that?

01:00:08.200 Yes, you will.

01:00:09.440 Okay?

01:00:09.760 By our standards today, you'll find a ton of racism.

01:00:13.100 You'll find it all over the place, everywhere.

01:00:14.740 That's because, by our standards today, virtually everybody in the world of every race was racist

01:00:22.500 for almost the entirety of human history.

01:00:25.340 The idea of full racial equality is extremely new, extremely modern, and extremely Western.

01:00:31.380 Still today, it is a conviction and value system not shared by most people outside of the Western

01:00:36.740 world.

01:00:37.180 And even within the Western world, it doesn't take long to discover that the people who call

01:00:41.700 themselves anti-racist are, in fact, deeply racist. 0.98

01:00:44.540 It's just that they are racist against whites.

01:00:47.780 So, still, in theory, in theory, we are a culture which believes in racial equality.

01:00:53.540 And that is something that, in theory, distinguishes us from all other cultures on the planet and 0.81

01:01:00.200 throughout time.

01:01:01.020 So, it becomes totally absurd, then, to waste time condemning the, quote-unquote, white supremacy,

01:01:07.560 the alleged white supremacy of a woman like Margaret Mitchell, who was born before the invention

01:01:12.000 of human flight.

01:01:13.760 And here's the other point.

01:01:15.260 Okay, and this is the most important thing.

01:01:18.560 All of the people who are issuing these condemnations, all of the people who spend time apologizing for

01:01:26.180 or virtue signaling based on the, quote, racism of people who've been dead for many decades,

01:01:31.020 all these people, the sensitivity readers, the people putting these disclaimers on books,

01:01:36.260 all of these people, all of them, would hold all of those same kinds of beliefs if they lived

01:01:42.220 during that time.

01:01:43.240 All of them would.

01:01:45.340 Now, as I said, most of them do today, just it's directed at a different race of people.

01:01:50.520 But putting that aside, all of these people would be guilty of these historical sins if they

01:01:54.620 happened to have been born slightly earlier on the timeline.

01:01:57.560 I know this because these people have completely and unquestionably adopted all of the prevailing

01:02:04.480 mainstream attitudes and beliefs of our day.

01:02:07.540 Okay, they have shown a willingness to say whatever the culture says they should say and

01:02:11.520 believe whatever the culture says they should believe. 0.96

01:02:13.700 The culture tells them that whites are inherently racist. 0.99

01:02:16.260 They believe that whites are inherently racist. 1.00

01:02:17.760 The culture tells them that women have penises. 1.00

01:02:20.360 They believe that women have penises. 1.00

01:02:21.800 The culture tells them to wave a rainbow flag. 0.99

01:02:23.520 They wave a rainbow flag.

01:02:24.520 The culture tells them to wave a Ukrainian flag.

01:02:26.180 They wave a Ukrainian flag.

01:02:27.460 The culture tells them to wear a mask.

01:02:28.880 They wear a mask.

01:02:29.960 They are disciples of the current thing.

01:02:32.200 And these are our current things.

01:02:35.100 If they happened to live in 1920, the current things would be very different.

01:02:39.220 But they'd be current.

01:02:40.880 And so these people would accept and believe all of those things.

01:02:45.080 See, it requires moral courage and independent thought and finely tuned critical thinking skills

01:02:52.540 to fundamentally question the most ubiquitous beliefs and practices of the age you live in.

01:02:58.320 These people have none of those qualities.

01:03:02.580 They would not have stood a chance.

01:03:05.340 In fact, like we talked about yesterday, very few people prior to the 18th and 19th centuries

01:03:09.460 wanted to see slavery totally abolished.

01:03:12.040 And even the people who did during that time, most of them, the one that were abolitionists,

01:03:17.100 would still be considered wildly racist by our modern standards.

01:03:21.600 You don't have to go back much farther than the 18th and 19th century to get to a point in the world

01:03:25.600 where literally nobody was opposed to slavery or racism.

01:03:31.640 Where abolitionism and racial equality didn't exist as concepts. 0.99

01:03:36.360 And these were not stupid people.

01:03:39.320 In fact, some of the most brilliant human beings in human history lived during this time of many millennia. 0.98

01:03:46.240 But they had no problem with racism.

01:03:48.220 They had no problem with slavery.

01:03:49.420 Why?

01:03:49.760 Well, because abolitionism, racial equality, these were movements, our movements,

01:03:58.340 resting upon an ideological and intellectual and spiritual framework

01:04:02.660 that had to be built slowly over the centuries.

01:04:05.620 Someone living in the year 300 couldn't have opposed slavery, 0.72

01:04:10.620 certainly couldn't have opposed it for the reasons that we do today at any rate,

01:04:13.620 because they didn't have the language or foundation to formulate and express that opposition. 0.98

01:04:18.680 Not because they were dumb, but just because it didn't exist. 0.97

01:04:23.020 The point here is that we live at the end of that process, okay? 0.99

01:04:27.180 The work has been done for us.

01:04:29.480 We happen to be born into a culture where slavery is universally condemned

01:04:32.940 and racism, again, in theory, is abhorred.

01:04:37.380 Okay, it's not by any virtue of ours that we were born during this time.

01:04:40.560 We just were.

01:04:42.320 So who the hell are we to condemn or lecture or censor or edit or add trigger warnings

01:04:47.420 to people who didn't enjoy that same benefit?

01:04:50.440 Who are you, the woke skull, to think that you have any moral high ground to stand on at all? 0.99

01:04:57.240 You mindless zombies, you conformist drones, you hive-mined insects. 0.98

01:05:03.320 You have absolutely no capacity to think outside the contemporary box. 0.99

01:05:07.360 Every era has its unique sins.

01:05:09.580 You are guilty of promoting and celebrating all of ours.

01:05:12.740 And so you would have promoted and celebrated all of theirs.

01:05:18.640 And that is why you are, today, finally canceled.

01:05:23.220 That'll do it for this portion of the show as we move over to the members block.

01:05:25.840 You can become a member today by using code Walsh at checkout for two months free on all annual plans.

01:05:30.540 Hope to see you there.
