The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1148 - Why You Should No Longer Let Your Kids Watch MrBeast

00:00:00.080 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the most popular YouTube star on the planet is now featuring a

00:00:04.300 transitioning man in his videos. Mr. Beast's sidekick, Chris Tyson, has a wife and a child,

00:00:09.000 but has still decided to start a medical gender transition, quote unquote. It's a sad case,

00:00:13.420 but several important lessons can be learned. Lesson number one is to stop letting your kids

00:00:16.900 watch Mr. Beast videos. Also, James O'Keefe has an explosive new report about the efforts to send

00:00:21.960 violent male sex offenders into women's prisons. A United States senator casually declares war on

00:00:26.860 Russia over Twitter. Joe Rogan comes out in defense of Bud Light. And Daniel Radcliffe grovels before

00:00:32.660 his LGBT gods. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show. The pro-life battle has finally

00:00:45.680 left D.C. and is going to the grassroots. As one of the largest pro-life organizations in the world,

00:00:49.440 no one is in a better position than 40 Days for Life to end abortion in a post-Roe America. 0.99

00:00:53.320 With one million volunteers in 1,500 cities, 40 Days for Life holds peaceful vigils outside

00:00:58.240 abortion facilities. Because of that, they've actually been a larger presence in blue states,

00:01:02.760 especially in California. Since the first 40 Days for Life campaign took place in 2007,

00:01:07.280 they've reached over 1,000 cities in 63 countries. Former abortion clinic directors say that these

00:01:12.480 vigils can cause the abortion no-show rate to go as high as 75%, which is detrimental to their

00:01:17.360 business. Thank God for that. These law-abiding vigils have helped close abortion facilities in San

00:01:22.600 Francisco, Seattle, and Chicago. They're also leading the way in efforts to prevent pharmacies

00:01:26.880 from dispensing chemical abortions. So support their work and check out their locations, their

00:01:31.820 podcasts, and their free magazine at 40daysforlife.com. The fight for life is far from over. In fact,

00:01:37.980 it's never been more important than it is right now. So for more information on 40 Days for Life,

00:01:41.560 go to 40daysforlife.com. We live in a segregated culture. And I don't mean segregated racially,

00:01:47.720 though the left is certainly working on that. I mean that it's segregated generationally.

00:01:52.260 The younger generations have their own culture, their own language, their own art, their own music,

00:01:56.540 their own universe to themselves, which exists almost entirely online. It shouldn't be like this,

00:02:01.760 and it wasn't always like this. But in the internet age, this cultural bifurcation of young and old is

00:02:07.100 only getting worse. And kids have their own celebrities, too. These are people who gain

00:02:12.000 tens of millions of fans, even hundreds of millions of fans, young fans, and become household names

00:02:17.960 for younger people. So they're household names among the children in the household, but not the

00:02:23.240 adults, while remaining almost entirely anonymous to anyone over the age of, say, 30 or 25.

00:02:29.480 A prime example of this is YouTube star MrBeast. And the YouTuber known as MrBeast, real name Jimmy

00:02:35.020 Donaldson, has 145 million subscribers on the platform. That's just for his primary channel.

00:02:42.000 Donaldson also has several offshoot channels, each boasting millions of additional subscribers.

00:02:47.040 On his main channel, Donaldson has three times as many subscribers as Taylor Swift, twice as many

00:02:53.100 as Justin Bieber. In fact, he has more subscribers than every pop star, more than every internet

00:02:58.460 personality, more than every media or entertainment company, aside from Sony's India division. That one

00:03:04.100 hasn't beat. But other than that, he has the most. He is massively successful, wildly famous.

00:03:10.920 And yet, I hadn't heard of him until a few months ago. I spend much of my day online for my job,

00:03:16.580 unfortunately. I also have a YouTube channel of my own, which feels suddenly quite obscure by comparison.

00:03:21.800 But I've only just recently become vaguely familiar with MrBeast. And even now, I wouldn't recognize

00:03:27.600 the guy if he passed me on the sidewalk. It is, to say the least, very troubling that someone can become

00:03:33.000 this prominent among younger generations and have this much influence over them and yet be so obscure

00:03:39.700 to the rest of us. If you're a parent and you've made the mistake of giving your child open access to

00:03:45.580 the internet, you're placing an enormous amount of faith in these influencers who are influencing your

00:03:51.460 kids. It is a faith that is almost always, or really always, misplaced. Because even the most

00:03:57.240 family-friendly content, the most seemingly innocuous, as most of MrBeast's content appears

00:04:01.360 to be, can subtly or not so subtly introduce concepts that will take your child down a very

00:04:09.000 dark path. In the case of MrBeast, that path has been opened by his sidekick and co-star on his videos

00:04:16.780 named Chris Tyson. Tyson's a frequent collaborator with MrBeast and an internet celebrity in his own

00:04:22.740 right, with nearly 14 million subscribers across TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram. And he appears in

00:04:27.680 many of MrBeast's videos. It's very familiar to fans of the channel. And those fans, most of them

00:04:33.080 kids, again, have been watching over the last few months as Tyson has transformed himself from a

00:04:39.840 married man with a child to something that is supposed to look like some sort of approximation

00:04:44.340 of a woman. Fans had noticed for several weeks as Tyson underwent a sort of bizarre physical

00:04:49.760 change, not only growing his hair out, but beginning to appear increasingly frail and sickly

00:04:55.400 and started wearing women's clothes and all the rest of it. Finally, last week, Tyson came out as

00:05:00.480 trans and confirmed that he's been on hormone replacement therapy for the past two months.

00:05:05.780 Explaining his decision, Tyson tweeted, quote, informed consent HRT saved my and many others' lives.

00:05:12.220 The hurdles GNC, gender non-conforming people, have to jump through to get life-saving,

00:05:17.260 gender-affirming health care, and a first-world country is wild to me. Just let people make

00:05:22.120 informed decisions about their own bodies. In response to the concerns some people have raised

00:05:27.880 about the effect his transition, quote-unquote, might have on his young son, Tucker, Tyson said,

00:05:33.180 quote, I know I'm going to be a great parent, and so is every other person who puts the love of their

00:05:37.180 child before everything. I made this decision because I wanted to show up as my best and happiest

00:05:42.040 self for him. In a way, this was for Tucker. Now, we'll return in a moment to the grotesque

00:05:49.240 and laughable claim that he's destroying his body and denying his own manhood for the sake of his son.

00:05:55.380 For the sake of his son, he says he's doing it. But first, we have Mr. Beast's own reaction to all

00:06:00.440 of this. Yesterday, he sent out a tweet blasting those who've raised concerns about having a transitioning,

00:06:06.660 quote-unquote, man appear constantly in videos meant for kids. He called it absurd and said that,

00:06:12.820 called the concerns absurd, that is, and said that all this transphobia is starting to piss me off.

00:06:18.860 Now, admittedly, Mr. Beast has been put in an extremely difficult situation because he built a

00:06:24.820 multi-million dollar empire with innocuous, family-friendly content targeted at kids, and now

00:06:31.540 his friend and collaborator and sidekick has decided to turn these videos into a sort of visual journal

00:06:38.320 of his gender transition. So, Mr. Beast has a choice. He can either kick Tyson off of the team 0.98

00:06:45.020 and then be excoriated as a transphobe, or he can come out fully in favor of transgenderism,

00:06:51.480 and he can stay, therefore, in the good graces of the media and LGBT activists,

00:06:56.340 even if it means alienating a huge portion of his fan base, and especially the parents of his fan base.

00:07:04.000 Well, unsurprisingly, he chose the latter. And now that he's gone down this road, there's really

00:07:08.660 no coming back. You can expect much more pro-trans content from Mr. Beast going forward, which means 0.99

00:07:13.980 that if you're a parent and you allow your child to watch Mr. Beast videos, now is a very good time

00:07:19.880 to stop allowing that. We could probably assume that Mr. Beast would prefer not to have to deal

00:07:27.420 with this, but Tyson has forced him to make a choice, and he chose. And he chose wrong.

00:07:34.200 This is really the common thread. Tyson is forcing this onto people who are close to him,

00:07:41.720 forcing it in more ways than one. A few months ago, Tyson posted a photo of his young son

00:07:45.820 in high heels with the caption, quote, Tucker chose to slay this morning.

00:07:51.500 It's only a matter of time, we can assume, before we start hearing about Tucker's own,

00:07:54.720 quote unquote, gender transition journey, a journey which Tyson will claim that Tucker

00:07:58.600 chose for himself, but we can clearly see who is making the choices here.

00:08:03.380 As for his wife, Katie, we can surmise how she feels about all this, based on the fact that she

00:08:07.740 is divorcing her husband. Tyson announced just a couple of weeks before coming out as trans or

00:08:12.900 non-binary or whatever, that he and his wife had separated and were working on,

00:08:17.400 quote unquote, finalizing things. So if you're keeping score at home,

00:08:22.400 Chris Tyson has destroyed his marriage, abandoned his child to a broken home,

00:08:28.540 created huge problems for his friend and business partner, potentially costing him millions of

00:08:32.820 subscribers and therefore millions of dollars. And he has done all of this just so that he can live

00:08:38.860 out his fantasies in public. He had a beautiful wife, a child, a family, an incredible job that

00:08:45.380 most people would kill for, which had made him wealthy and famous. And he pulled the pin and

00:08:50.720 chucked a hand grenade into the middle of that happy and serene picture. And for what?

00:08:56.780 All so that he can be his, quote, happiest self, he claims.

00:08:59.800 And he achieves his happiest self by rejecting his actual self and all the responsibilities that his

00:09:08.120 actual self is duty bound to fulfill. Now, Tyson is, of course, just the latest in a long line of

00:09:15.120 grown married men who decide to come out as trans or non-binary. This was Rachel Levine's story.

00:09:21.880 This is really a story of some of the most prominent trans activists in the country.

00:09:25.220 I think grown men who transition after they've already had kids and are married,

00:09:29.940 this is a demographic that is vastly overrepresented among trans activists.

00:09:36.880 Now, we know that a great many of the people who identify as, quote, unquote, trans, you're talking

00:09:42.000 a lot of this is because of rapid onset gender dysphoria and the social contagion factor.

00:09:47.240 There's many adolescent girls who get caught up in this. But when it comes to the activists,

00:09:52.920 it seems that a hugely disproportionate number of them are men, and especially men who,

00:10:01.280 quote, unquote, transitioned when they were already adults. So Tyson is then a valuable example

00:10:05.920 because he reveals an important truth about the trans phenomenon. Despite what we are so often told,

00:10:13.700 the decision to transition is not personal and private. Okay, it's not some sort of harmless

00:10:20.320 personal decision. It's not like you're, you're, you know, choosing an ice cream flavor at Baskin

00:10:24.720 Robbins. Okay, that's a decision where you can rightly say to anybody who has an opinion about it,

00:10:29.800 hey, this doesn't affect you. Okay, what do you care? That's not this. You're doing something that

00:10:35.920 will have a dramatic, life-altering, devastating effect on those who are closest to you.

00:10:41.600 This is not a private journey that you walk alone. You are dragging others with you,

00:10:47.800 whether they want to go or they don't. And almost always, they don't. Indeed, all of Western society

00:10:54.020 has been dragged into this. We are all impacted, and profoundly so, by individuals who refuse to

00:10:59.800 accept reality and live as themselves. But those who are closest to the impact site will feel it the

00:11:08.540 most. And many of them will end up buried under the rubble, starting first and foremost with the

00:11:14.600 families. This is why, you know, a grown man like Chris Tyson, who makes this choice, really does not

00:11:22.140 deserve our sympathy or our understanding. I know saying that will probably get me in trouble yet

00:11:28.180 again with many on the right who say, well, we've got to be sympathetic and nice about this.

00:11:31.320 Not to these people. Because he is engaging in the ultimate act of family-wrecking narcissism.

00:11:39.740 It is the deepest betrayal of his marriage vows, of his responsibility as a husband and a father.

00:11:47.780 And even worse, he's dismantling his family in a way that society approves of, which means that his

00:11:54.300 wife can't object to the total demolition of her family and her marriage. She can't cry out in anger or

00:12:00.240 sadness while her husband takes a wrecking ball to her life without being labeled a transphobe and a

00:12:06.200 bigot. Which is probably why she's remained silent through all this. As far as I know, she hasn't said

00:12:10.740 anything publicly. She's not even afforded the dignity of her grief. She is deprived of the right

00:12:18.980 to be angry about this terrible thing that has been done to her. Okay, you're a grown adult man,

00:12:25.160 you have a wife and you transition. That is something you are doing to your wife and to 1.00

00:12:31.440 yourself, but also to your wife. A man who has an affair, you know, and leaves his wife or another

00:12:37.220 woman, at least that guy has the decency to wreck his marriage in a way that allows his wife to hate

00:12:42.800 him for it and her anger will be validated by society. Men like Chris do the same kind of thing,

00:12:50.140 yet they do it in a manner that calls for the wife's understanding. You know, very often we hear

00:12:55.620 about men who transition with their wives alleged support and yet the details don't really add up.

00:13:00.740 So for example, a woman named Deborah tweeted this to me yesterday in response to one of my tweets.

00:13:06.480 She said, quote, my best friend Katie transitioned with the full support of her spouse and in fact

00:13:11.540 they still live together even though they're officially divorcing. Not everyone has the same story.

00:13:16.320 This is quite a beautiful story. I'm proud to have Katie as my friend. Yes, his spouse fully supports

00:13:25.460 it. She thinks it's great. I mean, really, she's so happy about it. She really is. Also on a totally

00:13:30.980 unrelated note, they're getting a divorce because that's obviously what you do when your spouse makes 0.90

00:13:36.180 a decision that you absolutely support. You divorce them for it. Obviously the claims about supportive

00:13:43.640 wives are always fictional in these cases. I mean, always. In every case, when a married man decides 0.93

00:13:51.440 to quote unquote transition, the wife does not support it. And I don't care what the wife says

00:13:56.560 about it publicly, she doesn't support it. And I know that because these women married men. 1.00

00:14:04.900 Okay. They didn't marry some kind of vague, ambiguous notion of a person. They didn't just say,

00:14:11.340 oh, I'm marrying a person. It doesn't matter what they are or what they look like or anything.

00:14:15.340 It's just a person. No, they married men. Men with definite characteristics, both physical and not.

00:14:23.480 It is a form of abandonment, the worst form in fact, to intentionally strip away and attempt to

00:14:28.960 change everything about yourself that your wife thought she married. I mean, to deliberately attempt

00:14:35.860 to become the opposite of what you are and what your wife married, it is again, an extreme betrayal

00:14:43.000 of your marriage vows. You are taking your wife's husband away from her. You're taking your child's 0.77

00:14:48.780 father away from him. And the best you can do to justify that decision is to say that it makes you

00:14:54.620 happy. So even by your own telling, even according to your own rationalization, you are choosing your

00:15:02.920 happiness over the needs and desires and the happiness of your family. See, here's the thing.

00:15:10.840 Here's the thing. Transitioning is wrong always and every time. First, because it's impossible.

00:15:17.240 You cannot transition from one sex to the other. But even if we lived in the sort of science fiction 0.94

00:15:23.540 universe where such a thing was possible, it would still be wrong to do it when you're married and you

00:15:29.960 have a child. Like if I believed in the reality of transitioning, I would still say that by the time 1.00

00:15:36.880 you get married and conceive a child, the transition ship has sailed. It is your responsibility now.

00:15:43.220 It's your obligation to suppress that part of you and live as the man that your wife and child need you

00:15:49.540 to be. But it's not possible. And so the reality is so much worse. You're setting it all on fire.

00:15:59.520 You're burning your life to the ground in pursuit of something you can never attain.

00:16:06.080 That you had something. You had something real and beautiful. And now you have nothing. Nothing but

00:16:11.400 a fantasy. A figment of your imagination. But at least you're happy, right? Except even your happiness

00:16:20.000 is fake. Your happiness is as real as your womanhood. You aren't happy. Nobody is now. 1.00

00:16:29.520 That was a trade-off. And it's never worth it. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:17:48.900 important stories like this. The Daily Wire reports, quote, James O'Keefe released a video Thursday

00:17:54.840 evening in which two female inmates at the Washington State Correctional Center for Women discussed male

00:18:00.240 inmates allegedly abusing the system by claiming to be transgender. O'Keefe said that the WCCW has

00:18:06.380 been the tip of the spear with inclusivity in the prison system as he went on to explain that OMG

00:18:10.620 News, which is his new outfit, went to great lengths to protect the identities of the two women by

00:18:16.660 significantly altering their voices and blurring out their faces. The video identified the inmates

00:18:20.340 as inmate number one and inmate number two. It was not clear how or when the interview was conducted.

00:18:25.040 Quote, so we have men rapists, men murderers, child rapists, men who have killed women and are in 0.91

00:18:31.100 prison for raping and killing women who get put in our rooms, inmate number one claimed. 0.54

00:18:34.660 Imagine coming into your room one day and you're in closed custody and you turn around and there's 0.98

00:18:39.420 a man standing there peeing in the toilet because you have the bathroom in your room in CCU. There's

00:18:44.820 nothing you can do. I know there's some having sex with women. There was some like assaulting, 1.00

00:18:50.340 but no one reported it, inmate number one said. Actually, we have the video, which is a little

00:18:54.080 hard to understand because of all the voice alteration they had to do to protect the anonymity

00:18:57.420 of these women. But we'll watch a little bit of this. 0.96

00:19:13.180 James O'Keefe, OMG News here. Have you heard of the Washington State Correctional Center

00:19:17.540 for Women, which has been in the news for its policy to place men who identify as women

00:19:22.860 in the same prison, sometimes even the same cell, as biological women? 0.99

00:19:29.000 Imagine coming to your room one day and you're in closed custody and you turn around and there's

00:19:35.420 a man standing up peeing in the toilet because you have the bathroom in your room in CCU.

00:19:40.840 What?

00:19:41.040 There's nothing you can do.

00:19:42.620 What you just heard and what you're about to hear are multiple inmates describing their experiences

00:19:47.760 with transgendered women, formerly known as men, within the women's prison. WCCW has been

00:19:54.680 the tip of the spear with inclusivity in the prison system. To protect the at-risk individuals

00:20:00.080 involved, we've taken steps to conceal the identities of the sources and the inmates.

00:20:05.020 I know there's some common sex with women. There was some like assaulting, but no one reported it. 0.97

00:20:12.360 Normally, in institutions, you have segregations that are always going to apply, no matter what

00:20:19.280 institution that you're at, all across America. But somehow, in this institution, they are adapting

00:20:28.280 ways to apply these so-called mandated laws that came out of nowhere to prohibit segregation

00:20:38.280 for certain individuals.

00:20:42.200 So they're prohibiting segregation based on sex in these prisons is what she's saying. Like I said,

00:20:47.120 a little hard to understand there because of how they, you know, they've got great lengths here to

00:20:51.760 protect the identities of these women for obvious reasons. More from the Daily Wire, quoting the

00:20:59.200 inmates. Inmate number one said that some of the men who are getting put in the prison by claiming that

00:21:03.000 they were transgender were doing so just so they could have sex with female inmates. Quote, 0.98

00:21:07.940 there's nothing you can do but say you're going to kill yourself and then go down to the crazy unit 0.55

00:21:11.940 to get out of that room. Inmate number one said, and if you refuse to go back in there, you get in 0.60

00:21:16.180 major, you get in major trouble. I told all this to the assistant secretary. Inmate number two said

00:21:21.800 that normally in correctional institutions, people are segregated like sex offenders. Usually sex offenders

00:21:25.900 are not in general population. They're always in the population of their own. My safety is now in

00:21:30.900 jeopardy, she says, because I cannot voice my freedom of speech, but that doesn't apply anymore because now

00:21:35.160 they're implementing this new gender equality role that forces us to conform to what they want us to 0.98

00:21:39.420 believe in about the transgenders. Inmate number two said, I've heard some of these men talk about 1.00

00:21:44.680 how they would want to get a girl pregnant so the girl could form a lawsuit against WCCW and say that 1.00

00:21:50.460 he raped her and he's willing to go along with it. He's pretty much the mastermind behind his own 0.85

00:21:54.200 scandal. I mean, it's hard to put into words just how evil this is. It is a direct violation of,

00:22:01.500 I mean, common sense and basic human decency, but also the eighth amendment, you know, which is a

00:22:06.200 guarantee against cruel and unusual punishment. It's definitely cruel and also certainly extremely

00:22:09.880 unusual to lock women in prison cells with violent, dangerous men. And these women are totally

00:22:17.060 vulnerable. I mean, they are defenseless, voiceless. They can't do anything about it. They can't,

00:22:22.540 they can't say anything. They can't do anything. Even by these two women, by speaking out 0.97

00:22:27.720 behind the blur, behind the, uh, the voice alteration, still, there's a chance that prison

00:22:32.780 officials could find out who said all this. They could find out where this came from maybe. And

00:22:37.180 they can, um, you know, they could, they could either enact reprisals themselves. They could feed

00:22:41.600 the information to the other inmates, to the male inmates that these women are complaining about,

00:22:45.440 um, putting their, their lives, uh, you know, in jeopardy. And so they put their lives on the line

00:22:51.480 in, in a, in a certain way and are aware of that by speaking out, which is quite heroic. I mean,

00:22:59.980 we, we know how difficult it is for women and for girls who are on sports teams and locker rooms

00:23:07.060 to speak up against it because we know, you know, what, what they can face. Just look at what Riley

00:23:11.260 Gaines faced. Well, now take that exact situation, except the women are in prison and have no rights at 1.00

00:23:18.540 all. This also really reveals the leftist, um, victimhood hierarchy in all of its hideous,

00:23:27.240 confused glory, right? Because here you've got female prison inmates. Many of them are women of 1.00

00:23:34.440 color, as the left would say. Um, many of them coming from poverty, you know, statistically speaking,

00:23:39.260 a lot of these come from poverty and, and, and though the, the nonviolent offender in prison thing,

00:23:44.800 that's kind of, um, certainly exaggerated. Look at all these nonviolent offenders. Well,

00:23:50.880 it's exaggerated when it comes to men in prison. You know, a great proportion of the men in prison

00:23:57.160 are violent, but in women's prisons, it's actually true that many of them are nonviolent offenders 0.99

00:24:03.280 because men and women are different and they commit different kinds of crimes. Not to say that women 1.00

00:24:06.940 can't be violent, but the majority of women in prison are there for drugs. They're there for property 1.00

00:24:13.100 crimes. Uh, they're there for, uh, public order offenses as they're called. So you could not ask

00:24:20.160 for a group that seems to tick off more victim categories, right? It checks off more. You could

00:24:27.160 ask for a group that would seem to check off more of the victim categories. You have nonviolent, poor,

00:24:33.340 black, female prison inmates. So you would think that that would be as victim-y as you can get as far as 1.00

00:24:41.480 the left's concerned. And yet they are superseded entirely by trans. Just think about this. A white, 1.00

00:24:50.100 a white male convicted rapist takes priority over a nonviolent, poor black female by this equation. 0.99

00:25:02.360 If the white male says that he's trans, if he remains a male and admits that he's male, and well, 0.99

00:25:10.980 he has no choice but to remain male. But if he, if he, you know, says that he's male, then, um,

00:25:16.120 then he'll, you know, remain all the way at the bottom. But all he has to do is say, oh, I'm a woman.

00:25:19.900 And that's, do not, you know, do not pass code, not collect to, like that's, that's, uh, you're going

00:25:26.260 right to the top. Which I just confused that monopoly analogy, but nevermind. Um, he takes such

00:25:33.380 a priority that in fact, the very life of the woman doesn't matter to the left. Her life, her safety, 0.99

00:25:41.880 all of that is sacrificed. What the left is saying is that it is, it is worth it to them. It is worth

00:25:50.180 it to them for a woman to get raped repeatedly in a prison cell for the sake of affirming the trans 1.00

00:25:59.140 dude. That is directly and explicitly what the left is saying. Because we have, yeah, male sex 0.99

00:26:07.540 offenders, male rapists, you put them in a jail cell with women. It's, it's not hard to predict how 1.00

00:26:14.980 that's going to go. And people on the left, they know that. And what they're saying is, well, hey,

00:26:20.440 it's a risk worth taking for the sake of affirming this trans person. It's just, uh, as I said, it's,

00:26:28.260 it's really impossible to fully capture just how wicked this is.

00:26:34.120 All right. Next we have Justin Pearson is the Tennessee Democrat, um, Tennessee Democrat

00:26:40.680 pretending to be a, an abolitionist preacher from the, you know, uh, 1850s. He was reinstated

00:26:46.540 in the Tennessee house of representatives yesterday. And first of all, here he is coming

00:26:50.180 back. Um, he's coming back. He's coming out to the house floor after being reinstated. And, uh,

00:26:56.440 here's that scene. Let's watch that.

00:26:57.640 There he is. There he is pumping his fist, waving to the, uh, cheering crowd, except that

00:27:12.560 the crowd is not cheering. Nobody is. Everyone's ignoring him. He's standing there. Hey, everybody.

00:27:21.280 Yes. And everyone is just ignoring him. Um, and if that wasn't cringy enough to watch,

00:27:30.280 you know, every video involving this clown is a, uh, is a try not to cringe challenge. Really. 0.68

00:27:37.620 It's like, how, how long can you even endure watching this before you have to look away

00:27:41.720 because the cringe is so intense. So that wasn't bad enough. Here's Pearson, um, a few days before this

00:27:47.400 again, again, doing his, uh, doing, doing his, his whole act, this whole shtick. Let's watch that.

00:27:54.160 I believe it is a vision of people who've been ostracized.

00:27:58.400 Coming to the well. I see white folk and black folk. I see queer folk and straight folk. I see

00:28:04.800 grandpa and white folk. Turn to what about, to the well about.

00:28:10.560 Obama and justice right now. Not tomorrow, but right now. Justice right now.

00:28:18.280 Right now. It is, it is this moment that's gonna change this country.

00:28:23.720 It's this movement, and this moment in time that's gonna change the country. Yes. And I'm so glad. Oh, I'm so glad.

00:28:32.980 All right, turn it off.

00:28:47.100 As far as I can go.

00:28:48.420 That's the most I can endure.

00:28:53.180 You know, I'm far from the first to point this out.

00:28:57.860 But it's worth pointing out anyway. 0.98

00:29:00.100 That part of what we're dealing with here, it's a bunch of dorks, okay? 0.59

00:29:06.640 A bunch of theater kids from high school. 0.94

00:29:10.020 And they wanted to be actors, but they couldn't hack it.

00:29:13.820 So they became politicians instead.

00:29:16.640 That is the tyranny that we are under.

00:29:20.620 These washed up theater kids who wish that they could be, you know, acting and something on Netflix.

00:29:28.520 But it didn't work out, and so they're doing this instead.

00:29:32.760 And I would rather, I would, if I had to, I'd prefer not to be under any tyranny at all.

00:29:37.740 But I would rather have the dignity of being oppressed by, like, old school dictators than these cringy little embarrassing nerds.

00:29:48.280 I mean, if you have to have it, if you have to live under a tyrannical system, I think I'd prefer the former over this.

00:29:59.940 All right, speaking of tyranny, Democrat Senator Joe Manchin paid his honorary visit to Ukraine.

00:30:06.580 And, you know, he made the pilgrimage, as all elected Democrats must make, and many elected Republicans as well, are making their pilgrimage to, you know, go to Zelensky and bow before him and all the rest of it.

00:30:21.400 So let's watch some of the video that he posted.

00:30:23.300 And then I'm going to read the caption that he wrote for this video, which he posted to social media.

00:30:28.480 But first, here's the video watch.

00:30:29.720 Let me just say we've spent an unbelievable, unbelievable meetings that we've been able to have and a visit to see, well, close in person, the determination and the skill and the will of the Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian people.

00:30:51.140 And it's our pleasure to be able to give him all the support we possibly can, go back home to America, be able to explain our commitment, to basically show the support that we have.

00:31:00.640 Okay, that's enough of that. Who cares? That's fine.

00:31:03.300 Here's the caption.

00:31:05.360 He says, in my lifetime, I have never seen the United States of America in a more just war.

00:31:11.200 Our purpose is to defend freedom and fight for democracy.

00:31:14.220 And that's why we're supporting Ukraine every step of the way as they defend their country and their way of life.

00:31:19.240 So, did you get that?

00:31:22.280 We are in a war.

00:31:24.680 The United States is in a war.

00:31:27.740 A U.S. senator just announced casually on Twitter that we are at war with Russia.

00:31:34.980 Now, you might say, well, we already knew that.

00:31:39.720 Yes, but they have not announced that.

00:31:41.900 In fact, they've denied that up until now.

00:31:44.940 They've denied that the United States is involved in the war.

00:31:47.580 We're not going to get involved.

00:31:48.260 All we're doing is supporting Ukraine.

00:31:49.940 We're sending money in all the rest.

00:31:51.920 That's what they've been saying up until now.

00:31:54.040 And now we get the United States center just casually saying, yeah, we're at war.

00:31:57.520 We're at war with Russia. 0.66

00:31:58.940 You know, constitutionally, a declaration of war is supposed to be made by Congress.

00:32:04.480 And we got away from that decades ago.

00:32:06.740 Who cares about the Constitution?

00:32:08.320 And then it went over to presidents can just on their own decide, hey, we're going to war with this country.

00:32:13.640 And now even that is too formal, I guess.

00:32:17.420 And now any politician could just declare it on Twitter.

00:32:20.000 Hey, guess what?

00:32:20.420 We're at war.

00:32:20.920 There's a line in one of the most recent episodes of Succession where Logan Roy, RIP, spoiler, sorry, says to his kids, I love you, but you're not serious people.

00:32:34.520 And that's how I feel about our politicians, except for the love part.

00:32:37.380 I don't love them.

00:32:38.540 So it's more like I despise you and you are not serious people.

00:32:43.080 These are not serious people.

00:32:45.220 They're doing serious things.

00:32:46.800 So that's what makes it so dangerous that we have unserious people like Justin Pearson, who we just saw, a bunch of washed up theater kids.

00:32:55.740 We have unserious people who are involved in very serious things.

00:33:00.640 So they do things like get us into a war with a nuclear power and then announce it on Twitter like it's nothing. 0.92

00:33:08.840 And the media, a bunch of unserious people as well, they treat it as nothing.

00:33:13.620 There's no follow up questions.

00:33:14.940 You know, nobody's asking, hey, wait a second, Senator, are we at war?

00:33:17.760 Is that so you're this is official now.

00:33:20.060 Is that what you're saying?

00:33:22.700 No follow up questions.

00:33:23.840 Everyone, that's whatever.

00:33:26.260 You know, I mean, the whole Ukraine thing, our involvement in it is not serious.

00:33:31.700 I mean, it's serious in the sense of being catastrophic for our country.

00:33:35.060 It's serious in that way.

00:33:36.680 But they have no serious reasons for it.

00:33:39.000 It was not a decision that was seriously considered.

00:33:45.160 This is not the result of serious contemplation and discernment or debate at all.

00:33:50.980 Just something that we decided to do without any serious reason.

00:33:58.120 The only reasons we've ever been given are the platitudes that we just heard from Joe Manchin there.

00:34:04.660 We're defending freedom, fighting for democracy.

00:34:10.320 Okay, democracy is a democracy.

00:34:13.300 It's an abstraction.

00:34:14.880 Okay, it's not.

00:34:15.340 What do you mean fighting for democracy?

00:34:17.820 It's a form of government that we have in this country in name only.

00:34:23.120 But that's not the kind of thing you fight for.

00:34:27.220 You don't go to war for that.

00:34:30.920 For democracy.

00:34:33.360 As if Ukraine, one of the most corrupt governments in the world to begin with, as if they're some sort of shining example of democracy.

00:34:41.560 And even if they are, you don't go to war for abstractions.

00:34:44.840 You don't go to war to defend, like, the concept of a form of government.

00:34:49.700 That is not, at least in more serious times, in countries governed by serious people, that's not what you do.

00:34:58.340 All right.

00:34:59.720 Here's another episode of headline versus reality.

00:35:04.620 So, the New York Post has this headline.

00:35:07.840 One in five U.S. adults has had a family member killed by a gun.

00:35:13.100 This is the, and this is the headlines making the rounds by mainstream media.

00:35:17.700 It says, nearly one in five adults in the U.S. say they have a relative who was killed by a gun.

00:35:21.980 A disturbing new study revealed Tuesday.

00:35:24.180 The troubling statistic included death by suicide, according to the report from the Kaiser Family Foundation.

00:35:29.120 A similar amount, 21% of respondents, said that they had been personally threatened with a gun.

00:35:33.940 The study also found that people of color were disproportionately impacted by gun violence,

00:35:38.540 with three in ten black adults and one-fifth of Hispanic respondents saying that they have witnessed someone being shot.

00:35:43.480 Okay.

00:35:44.800 Okay.

00:35:45.680 So, let's go through the problems here.

00:35:48.300 You have the headline.

00:35:49.060 One in five have a family member who was killed by a gun.

00:35:56.540 Number one, they don't specify what they mean by relative.

00:35:59.560 So, are we talking about fifth cousin twice removed?

00:36:02.260 Is that a relative?

00:36:03.180 Um, so what do you, are we talking about immediate family?

00:36:08.400 Because if we just mean every, you know, one in five people have someone related to them somewhere down the line who was killed by a gun.

00:36:15.860 Well, I'm sure it's, I'm sure it's like five out of five people.

00:36:18.800 Okay.

00:36:20.520 Now you get into like the six degrees of Kevin Bacon type of situation, except with guns.

00:36:25.400 And so, if you're extending it out, um, and there's no limits put on what counts as a relative, then, yeah, I mean, everyone's connected in that way.

00:36:38.100 So, they don't specify that.

00:36:40.980 And they also, as always, and this is something to remember when it comes to these gun violence statistics,

00:36:47.280 they include suicides with guns.

00:36:49.940 And this is a, a cynical, dishonest, really pretty gross attempt to, to beef up.

00:36:59.080 It's, you know, we're padding the stats of gun violence by including suicides.

00:37:04.980 When, of course, you know, when you say gun violence, no one thinks of suicide.

00:37:09.560 They think of homicide.

00:37:11.060 So, every time you say suicide, every time you say gun violence, you are putting in people's minds the image,

00:37:16.200 and intentionally, you're putting in people's minds the image of, you know, uh, murder and attempted murder.

00:37:21.460 That's, whenever, anytime you say gun violence, that's what everybody thinks of.

00:37:26.660 And yet, a huge portion of those statistics, what you call gun violence, it's neither of those things.

00:37:34.000 These are suicides.

00:37:37.220 Now, yeah, the end result is the same.

00:37:39.360 Somebody is killed.

00:37:40.340 But a homicide and a suicide are, are different things.

00:37:47.840 Um, because, of course, in, in one case, you have someone who is, you know, killed by another person,

00:37:55.880 using the gun to kill them.

00:37:57.760 In the other case, you have a, a tragic choice that somebody made to take their own life.

00:38:01.620 But, and also, you know, it's, it's absurd enough to think that you can, um, solve the problem of homicide and violence by passing gun laws.

00:38:16.340 It's even more ridiculous to think that you can solve the problem of suicide by passing gun laws. 0.55

00:38:22.180 You're going to stop people from killing themselves with gun laws.

00:38:24.960 I mean, even if you could find a way to get rid of all the guns in the world,

00:38:31.740 that's not going to stop anyone from committing suicide if they want to commit suicide.

00:38:38.400 Trying to stop people from committing suicide is a very noble cause, and we should be doing that.

00:38:42.220 But you don't do that by just taking away one of the, unfortunately, many avenues a person can use to take their own life.

00:38:50.340 Um, and then there's also this absurd nonsense about 20, 21% of the people in the country have been threatened with a gun.

00:39:00.580 21%.

00:39:01.540 Not believable.

00:39:03.920 Nothing about this is believable.

00:39:05.100 So if, if you want to have, we keep hearing, oh, we got to have a serious conversation about gun violence in America.

00:39:11.000 Okay, okay, let's have a conversation about, about violence.

00:39:14.760 Let's have a, you know, I'd rather have a conversation about violence in general,

00:39:17.720 because there is far too much of it in this country, especially in our cities.

00:39:21.680 And if you want to talk about that, let's talk about it.

00:39:23.560 But can we start by being honest?

00:39:26.040 Can we start on an, on an honest playing field?

00:39:28.860 Can we start with the reality and then go from there?

00:39:33.720 Next, we have Joe Rogan, who's chimed in on the Bud Light story and had a take that, uh, some maybe didn't expect.

00:39:40.720 We'll listen to a little bit of this.

00:39:42.780 Do you have any beer here?

00:39:44.420 Yeah, you want a beer?

00:39:45.260 I'd take a light beer.

00:39:46.200 Let's get, get some Bud Lights.

00:39:47.720 Let's, uh, do this.

00:39:48.800 Yeah.

00:39:49.680 In support of Bud Light and their time of stress.

00:39:51.580 Let's be allies by getting a little day drug.

00:39:53.360 We're going to be allies.

00:39:54.360 Yeah. 0.86

00:39:55.040 You know, because Kid Rock and Travis Tritt have put the f***ing hammer down.

00:39:58.640 I know, they're really f***ing fighting the good fight, man.

00:40:01.020 Here's my take.

00:40:02.020 Okay.

00:40:06.300 Like, what you're, what you're doing, what they're doing, is just spreading the brand to an extra group of people.

00:40:13.120 Yeah. 0.93

00:40:13.420 Why, if something is good, do you give a f*** who's got it? 0.50

00:40:19.800 Like, would we do this with cheesecake? 0.90

00:40:22.040 Like, you know what I'm saying? 0.98

00:40:23.320 Like, if there was, like, a bomb-ass cheesecake and all of a sudden, you know, some radical group, like Antifa, really got into the cheesecake, we'd be like, f*** this. 0.99

00:40:31.900 Yeah. 0.95

00:40:32.720 And if the, like, if the Cheesecake Factory sent Antifa a cheesecake, you know, for ten more years of chaos, you know, like, a celebratory.

00:40:42.120 A celebratory.

00:40:43.240 Yeah. 0.99

00:40:43.760 If only ISIS had bear claw donuts, I'm still eating those f***ing donuts. 1.00

00:40:47.320 On the other hand, I love Kid Rock's video, because I love that. 0.77

00:40:50.700 I love, cheers.

00:40:51.500 Cheers, man.

00:40:52.100 I love that kind of thinking.

00:40:56.080 Not even that I agree with it.

00:40:58.200 I like wild people.

00:40:59.800 Yeah.

00:40:59.980 I like it. 0.87

00:41:00.620 I like raising hell, man. 0.99

00:41:01.480 I like a dude who takes a machine gun to a stack of Bud Lights and is like, f***ing Anheuser-Busch. 0.99

00:41:07.880 This will show up. 0.94

00:41:09.040 But, I mean, where's he going to go now?

00:41:10.240 Are you going to go to Coors?

00:41:11.340 Miller Lite.

00:41:12.040 Don't they all support, like, LBGTQ plus AI, whatever the hell else they're attaching to issues? 0.57

00:41:18.680 They all do.

00:41:19.360 I mean, I'm from Colorado.

00:41:20.820 So, I mean, I do admire the acting skills required there to take a sip of Bud Light on camera and pretend that you're not repulsed by it.

00:41:30.660 But, so let me, if I could, let me explain why we care.

00:41:36.060 Nobody's complaining about trans people drinking Bud Light, okay? 0.53

00:41:41.620 If they want to subject themselves to Bud Light, then if they want that punishment for themselves, go for it.

00:41:48.720 That's not the point.

00:41:51.340 The point is that Bud Light is promoting transgenderism. 0.90

00:41:56.700 They are promoting the idea that a man can be a woman.

00:42:01.120 And they're promoting it by celebrating a man's day 365 of girlhood. 0.55

00:42:07.280 So, they're promoting a lie, a harmful, toxic, dehumanizing lie.

00:42:12.440 In fact, the example that Joe Rogan gives there is a good one.

00:42:15.760 He says, well, what if, okay, what if Antifa decide to eat cheesecake?

00:42:19.380 Does that mean we're not going to go to the Cheesecake Factory anymore?

00:42:21.860 Well, no, if some Antifa group decided to eat on their own to go buy a cheesecake, obviously it's not going to stop anyone from eating cheesecake.

00:42:31.380 But the second example, he says, well, what if Cheesecake Factory sent a cheesecake to Antifa and said congratulations on all the chaos?

00:42:39.180 Yeah, that would cause me to not eat at Cheesecake Factory anymore.

00:42:41.880 Yeah, that would, because there's a difference.

00:42:44.980 In one case, you have a group of people that have decided to buy this product.

00:42:48.880 Fine.

00:42:49.860 In the other case, you have the company officially endorsing what these people are doing.

00:42:56.320 And that is a difference there.

00:42:58.060 There's a difference between people using the product and the company officially saying, I agree with what these people do.

00:43:05.060 I think it's great.

00:43:07.600 And, yeah, so it's exactly that same sort of thing, in fact.

00:43:11.880 Bud Light putting Dill Mulvaney on a beer can is really exactly the same sort of thing as Cheesecake Factory sending a cheesecake to Antifa and saying congratulations on burning all the buildings or whatever.

00:43:27.500 And in both cases, you know, the customers will be upset about that.

00:43:33.780 And they should be.

00:43:35.600 Like, why wouldn't they be?

00:43:36.440 You have, you're a powerful, wealthy corporation, and you have decided to send a message.

00:43:47.560 You're using your power and your wealth, the power that you gain from your wealth and the wealth that you gain from the customers, to send a message to the culture.

00:43:55.840 And the people who are giving you that money are going to say to themselves, well, do I like this message?

00:44:03.440 And if they don't like the message, they're going to say, oh, I don't want to contribute to the message.

00:44:06.140 I'm going to stop giving you my money.

00:44:07.420 It's a really simple, there's nothing extreme about this.

00:44:11.280 The only thing that makes this unusual or makes it into kind of a bigger story is that, well, for one thing, the thing that Bud Light is endorsing.

00:44:24.060 In fact, it would, even though they're similar situations, it would be better for Bud Light or a Cheesecake Factory to endorse Antifa than to endorse transgenderism. 0.76

00:44:36.380 Because at least Antifa exists, okay, that's an actual thing that exists.

00:44:41.960 And so by endorsing Antifa, you're sending a lot of harmful messages, but it's not really an assault on just like reality itself.

00:44:48.200 Whereas by endorsing the idea that Dylan Mulvaney is a girl, not even a woman, but a girl, that Dylan Mulvaney is an adolescent girl like he's pretending to be,

00:44:57.140 you are sending a lot of harmful messages, but it is also you're partaking in this assault on reality.

00:45:02.860 And so, but the only thing that makes it unusual apart from that is that usually conservatives will just continue handing their money over to corporations who will then use that money to work against them in the culture, to fight against them.

00:45:20.840 And to promote messages and ideas that those same conservatives abhor.

00:45:27.720 Now, on the left, they don't do that as much.

00:45:30.520 If a company comes out opposed to them and what they believe, it's a pretty, you know, for them, it's a pretty easy decision to make.

00:45:39.700 But on the right, we've just gone along with it.

00:45:41.540 And so now in this one case, finally, conservatives are saying, you know what?

00:45:46.380 No, I don't need Bud Light in my life. 0.98

00:45:48.400 You know, and if this is what you're going to do, then piss off.

00:45:52.440 And whether you agree with Bud Light's messaging here or not, I think it should be pretty easy to understand the justification for, you know, why this boycott is happening and must continue to happen.

00:46:05.720 You know, the only thing that calls off the boycott is if Bud Light comes out and apologizes and also renounces their previous support for the idea that men can be women.

00:46:17.900 If they do that, then I would say, absolutely.

00:46:21.360 Not only would I say drink Bud Light.

00:46:23.040 If they did that, I would go buy, I don't even drink Bud Light.

00:46:25.340 I'd go buy a case of it myself if they did that.

00:46:29.980 You know, the boycott is a consequence.

00:46:34.400 But if the company does the right thing and backs down, then, yeah, they should be rewarded for finally doing the right thing.

00:46:41.360 But until that happens, the boycott is on and it stays in effect.

00:46:45.960 Right. Let's get to the comment section.

00:47:02.140 Biden's plans to help struggling business owners in the wake of covid lockdowns were, of course, to prioritize black, Latino, Native American and women owned businesses.

00:47:10.400 It goes without saying that if the roles were reversed, if Biden had said his plans were to prioritize white male owned businesses, there would have been outrage.

00:47:17.580 But if you own a business, no matter what demographic group you belong to, you can't rely on the government to bail you out.

00:47:23.120 You need to take matters into your own hands.

00:47:24.980 And innovation refunds can help you do just that.

00:48:13.600 Anna Powell says, my brother had a very similar experience with a woman in the Air Force ROTC program he's a part of.

00:48:19.320 She claimed he assaulted her at our house, a very small, modular home that struggles to adequately fit four people.

00:48:24.600 At the time, we had nine people there for a holiday, three guys on the couches, one on the floor, two women in one room, me in my own and my parents in theirs.

00:48:32.760 I'm not sure how she thought she could get away with claiming that she was assaulted with literally no way of it conceivably happening.

00:48:38.240 And thankfully, she did not win in the school nor the Air Force, but it was and never should have happened.

00:48:42.860 He's now five thousand dollars in debt with his name smeared through the mud.

00:48:46.140 And and now that he is cleared, she gets to walk away as if nothing happened.

00:48:50.640 Pisses me off.

00:48:51.420 Yeah. And that's why, to me, it's very obvious that the policy should be.

00:49:03.820 You know, if you falsely accuse someone of a crime of any crime, really, whether it's rape or any other crime, if you falsely accuse somebody of a crime,

00:49:11.860 then then you will be given the same punishment that they would have been given if they'd actually done it and been convicted.

00:49:20.220 So, you know, false rape accusers are treated by the justice system just as rapists are treated.

00:49:30.960 And that's how it should be.

00:49:32.240 Now.

00:49:32.400 Now, if if if this was the case, then it couldn't be that, you know, a man's falsely accused and then he's acquitted or the charges are dropped and then automatically the the the woman goes to prison.

00:49:44.960 And no, it's it's as a separate crime.

00:49:46.940 And so now she should be charged.

00:49:49.440 And and now you have to prove her her guilt in a court of law.

00:49:53.260 But that ought to be the policy.

00:49:57.340 There has to be a real penalty for this.

00:49:59.880 Right now, there's like there's no penalty.

00:50:01.700 So if you've got a woman who has no integrity, she's manipulative, just a bad person and, you know, has no moral standards at all. 1.00

00:50:11.800 And she wants to get back at a guy. 0.92

00:50:14.140 She whatever her reasoning is.

00:50:15.640 There's like no incentive, really, for someone like that to not.

00:50:21.980 There's no disincentive when it comes to a false accusation for a woman.

00:50:26.060 Make the accusation.

00:50:29.360 Maybe maybe it ends up with the person you're targeting going to jail.

00:50:32.900 And because you're a terrible person, you'll love that even if they don't go to jail.

00:50:36.140 Well, you've still you've still, as you said, dragged their name through the mud.

00:50:39.140 You've ruined the reputation.

00:50:40.740 They have to live with the false accusation for the rest of their lives.

00:50:43.860 Even if they're innocent for the rest of their lives, they're still going to be that guy who was accused of this.

00:50:49.900 And and there's no consequence for you whatsoever.

00:50:53.660 So why not do it?

00:50:55.580 That's what these women think. 1.00

00:50:58.060 That's why there has to be a real consequence.

00:51:01.180 Katie Mill says, Matt shouting out 90s kids and the yo-yos and virtual pets give me a nostalgia buzz.

00:51:06.740 I remember having a mini yo-yo and big one in my pockets going to class in elementary school.

00:51:11.860 I miss when toys taught you a skill.

00:51:13.480 It took skill and hand-eye coordination to get those yo-yo tricks.

00:51:17.160 I had to go to a library or rent a video to learn those sweet moves. 1.00

00:51:21.100 I remember a time when learning a skill and striving to be the best was mainstream and unifying and actually cool.

00:51:30.020 I'm glad to know that the yo-yo thing was was was more widespread.

00:51:34.700 I was never sure if it's like this weird.

00:51:36.940 Blip on the radar screen of my childhood.

00:51:40.860 There's this there's this like short period of time when everybody in my school was mostly mostly the boys.

00:51:47.200 But but all the boys had yo-yos and was like the coolest thing.

00:51:50.700 And but it went away very quickly.

00:51:52.060 And I always wondered was that just was that just where I lived or was it a nationwide phenomenon?

00:51:58.000 Apparently it was.

00:51:58.740 But you really can't you can't come up with it with a situation more foreign to current day kids than what you just described there, Katie.

00:52:09.480 Kids playing with going to the library to rent a video to learn yo-yo skills.

00:52:17.560 Every part of that is kids they just don't know anything about.

00:52:23.720 Allie says, I want to know what Matt thinks about teachers calling students by their preferred pronouns, even if the parent doesn't want them to.

00:52:30.280 Just as a teacher myself, I see this creeping into the classroom and it being just another way for me to get fired.

00:52:38.120 What do I think about teachers using preferred pronouns?

00:52:40.000 Well, I I would imagine you if you've watched this show for even for even, you know, two and a half minutes, then you probably know what I'm going to answer to that, which is I am 100 percent opposed to teachers using, quote unquote, preferred pronouns.

00:52:55.920 I mean, I'm opposed to the the preferred pronoun concept being recognized at all.

00:53:02.440 Preferred pronoun.

00:53:03.260 I don't care what you prefer.

00:53:04.780 A pronoun should reflect reality.

00:53:06.500 And that's all the teacher should that is all teachers should be concerned about in general is the reality and teaching kids about things that are real and true.

00:53:19.860 Cole says, one way I know Matt is right about Dylan Mulvaney's popularity, regardless of the right discussing him or not, is the fact that my wife knew all about Dylan before I started talking to her about him and the insanity around his life.

00:53:31.540 She knew all about him and she doesn't pay any attention to politics at all. 0.56

00:53:34.560 That proves to me, at least, that Dylan Mulvaney was going to be a cultural pillar, regardless of what the right wing media did.

00:53:42.200 Well, of course, because as we talked about, you know, a couple of days ago, when the left decides that they're going to pick somebody out and make them a champion, make them a martyr, make them a hero, make them a celebrity, make them a star.

00:53:54.020 The left has the ability to do that.

00:53:55.800 They don't need they don't need anybody's help.

00:53:57.440 They don't need our help.

00:53:58.420 You know, it's very flattering to us to think that they need our help.

00:54:02.060 And so if we don't acknowledge somebody, if we ignore them, we put our head in the sand.

00:54:05.600 We look the other way that they're just going to disappear and they're not going to become famous.

00:54:10.440 But that's unfortunately that's that we don't have that kind of cultural purchase.

00:54:14.640 I wish we did, but it doesn't work that way.

00:54:16.280 So the left can say, OK, we don't need your people.

00:54:18.380 It's we're still going to again, we own all of the fame is something that is oftentimes bestowed on people by institutions.

00:54:28.500 You know, the powerful institutions, if they take someone and say, we're going to make this person famous, then they can do it.

00:54:33.500 That's it.

00:54:35.280 And in this case, that's what they said with Dylan Mulvaney.

00:54:37.100 I mean, also, here's the other thing about this.

00:54:40.920 Dylan Mulvaney was already a TikTok celebrity before anybody on the right mentioned him or knew who he was.

00:54:48.900 He was a TikTok celebrity before that.

00:54:51.120 I mean, that's why we started talking about him.

00:54:52.840 It wasn't like we picked out some random person who had five followers on TikTok.

00:54:57.320 OK, no, this he was already a thing, a phenomenon.

00:55:00.700 And then the right noticed and started commenting on this phenomenon.

00:55:05.380 Well, what that means, you know, another way of saying TikTok celebrity is to say that this was a celebrity among kids.

00:55:13.180 Again, this is the cultural kids having their own culture. 0.51

00:55:17.340 And so this is kids already knew about Dylan Mulvaney because they're on TikTok.

00:55:21.920 And so he was already a celebrity among kids.

00:55:24.420 If we on the right made him famous, if we did that at all, we made him famous to the parents.

00:55:34.140 OK, he's already famous to the kids.

00:55:36.100 And so we took him and said, hey, parents, look what's happening over here.

00:55:41.280 OK, look at this guy and what he's saying to kids.

00:55:44.040 That's what we did.

00:55:45.760 And yet you have some conservatives who, what, think that's a bad thing?

00:55:48.900 But so you think it's just better for the kids to be influenced by this person and parents to not notice or know anything about it?

00:55:59.480 You know, this is this is a general principle that these celebrities, these figures, they exist.

00:56:11.000 Kids are following them.

00:56:12.100 And so we can ignore them all we want, and that's not going to make them go away.

00:56:17.660 It just makes the it just makes it worse because now they have free reign and they can do and say whatever they want without it without being criticized.

00:56:25.360 If you're looking for something interesting to watch this weekend, check out our series, What We Saw, hosted by storyteller Bill Whittle.

00:56:47.180 Episode five picks up with the death of Joseph Stalin as a newly inaugurated President Eisenhower has just taken office.

00:56:53.220 With knives out for succession in the USSR, Eisenhower sees this moment as a very brief window of opportunity to reset the conflict.

00:56:59.880 Bill makes you feel like you are there in the moment, witnessing history.

00:57:11.540 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:57:17.080 Ever since J.K. Rowling was caught in an act of infidelity, having an adulterous affair with science,

00:57:22.720 the left has been unable to really get over the betrayal.

00:57:25.300 They've been so enraged on such a single-minded mission to punish J.K. Rowling for her dalliance with common sense,

00:57:31.380 that even those merely associated with Rowling are made to perform acts of public penance.

00:57:36.980 The entire cast of the Harry Potter film series have come out at various points,

00:57:40.440 and they've wanted to make it clear that they do not share Rowling's heretical belief in biology.

00:57:46.700 They've been desperate to signal their allegiance to the trans cult. 0.64

00:57:50.280 We're not like her, they cry, as they humble themselves before the LGBT God. 1.00

00:57:54.100 We're good and faithful servants.

00:57:55.520 What other basic realities would you like for us to deny?

00:57:58.600 What other bits of nonsensical gibberish do you need us to utter on your behalf?

00:58:03.140 Well, we could put out a statement saying that two plus two equals green.

00:58:06.620 Elephants are made of pudding, if you want.

00:58:08.560 Anything for you, O Lords.

00:58:11.020 Chief among these grovelers is Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe,

00:58:14.400 who clearly recognizes that he is potentially the most guilty, the most guilty by association.

00:58:20.300 As the star of Rowling's fantasy series, he feels called to speak the loudest about this.

00:58:26.760 He must do the most to repudiate the author's bigoted belief in reality.

00:58:31.420 The result is that Radcliffe has now taken a public position

00:58:34.020 that is even more fictional and fantastical than the world of wizards that Rowling created.

00:58:40.940 I mean, if Radcliffe had come out and announced that Hogwarts is a real place

00:58:44.940 where actual children fly on broomsticks and learn how to do magical spells,

00:58:50.100 it would have been less outrageous and more credible than the position he's actually taken.

00:58:55.700 Because instead, he's professed to believe in transgenderism, especially trans kids, quote unquote.

00:59:01.500 Recently, he sat down for a roundtable discussion with these alleged trans kids 1.00

00:59:05.300 in a video produced by the left-wing extremist group The Trevor Project.

00:59:09.160 Watch.

00:59:09.580 I learned from, you know, out of the cradle that I am, you know, that I was a boy.

00:59:18.640 I should like blue.

00:59:19.600 I should like sports.

00:59:20.680 I should be manly.

00:59:21.960 I should like superheroes.

00:59:23.580 Yeah.

00:59:23.800 And I just, I never associate myself with those things.

00:59:28.780 And we are told that we're not old enough to know this yet.

00:59:33.640 Like, I mean, I'm only 11 years old.

00:59:36.380 How do I know I'm a girl and I need more time to think about this?

00:59:41.440 He doesn't like blue sports or superheroes.

00:59:45.880 That's how we know he's a girl.

00:59:48.460 It's not how he decided that he's a girl.

00:59:50.380 I mean, he's a child.

00:59:51.120 He didn't decide anything.

00:59:52.200 Rather, it's how the adults in his life decided for him.

00:59:55.800 So we see once again how the only people rigidly enforcing so-called gender roles

01:00:00.720 are the gender ideologues themselves.

01:00:02.460 They are such believers in gender roles. 0.80

01:00:04.000 They so firmly insist that boys must like boy things, quote unquote,

01:00:09.320 that any boy who doesn't like those things is labeled a girl by them.

01:00:14.300 This is a, you know, gender role reinforcement taken to grotesque extremes.

01:00:19.940 It's something that the most avid right-wing believer in gender roles 1.00

01:00:23.000 never would have even considered.

01:00:25.360 I myself believe in gender roles.

01:00:27.960 That is, I believe that there are certain roles, certain attitudes and behaviors

01:00:31.280 that society should expect from a person based on their sex.

01:00:35.080 I believe that.

01:00:36.220 That doesn't mean that someone who rejects those roles isn't a member of the sex anymore.

01:00:42.060 Also, when I talk about gender roles, I mean like more important things.

01:00:45.440 Like we should teach boys how to be protectors and providers.

01:00:48.620 You know, that kind of gender role. 1.00

01:00:50.220 I couldn't care less if they like superheroes or the color blue.

01:00:54.660 Who gives a damn about that?

01:00:57.000 So the gender ideologue not only ruthlessly and violently enforces gender roles,

01:01:01.660 but enforces specifically the most superfluous and meaningless ones.

01:01:06.980 By the way, I know something about boys who don't care about sports or superheroes.

01:01:10.620 I'm raising two of them right now.

01:01:12.880 Both of my older sons are only, you know, nominally interested in superheroes,

01:01:17.240 and neither of them have shown any great interest in sports,

01:01:19.540 aside from, you know, shooting hoops out in the driveway on occasion.

01:01:22.800 But my nine-year-old son prefers to build forts in the woods.

01:01:26.660 That's what he likes to do.

01:01:27.440 My six-year-old prefers to follow his older brother around and annoy him with whatever he's doing.

01:01:31.540 That's basically his hobby right now.

01:01:34.060 What's the significance of their lack of interest in sports and superheroes?

01:01:38.080 There is no significance.

01:01:39.680 It doesn't matter.

01:01:41.680 Okay?

01:01:42.300 I mean, I'm as conservative as you can get when it comes to these issues, right?

01:01:47.800 And I embrace that.

01:01:49.620 Like I said, I embrace the fact that I, oh, gender, we don't want gender roles.

01:01:53.260 I fully embrace gender roles.

01:01:54.440 I think they're a good thing.

01:01:55.760 But even I, with my own sons, I'm not like, well, you need to sit down and watch Batman.

01:02:00.580 You have to watch, you have to like Batman.

01:02:02.220 You're a boy.

01:02:03.960 I don't do that.

01:02:05.120 Nobody does that.

01:02:06.960 Okay?

01:02:07.160 Nobody cares that much about it.

01:02:08.280 There are many ways to be a boy.

01:02:11.340 This is the truly accepting view of the matter.

01:02:14.420 So it's the left who declares that there is only one way, and any boy who exists in any

01:02:20.220 other way is kicked out of the boy club.

01:02:24.720 Let's continue.

01:02:25.380 But there are also people who do have like a slightly condescending but well-meaning attitude

01:02:31.920 of like, well, people are young, and like, how do we, you know, that is a huge decision.

01:02:36.460 I'd love to hear from all of you about like why we can trust kids to like tell us who they are.

01:02:42.960 Well, I just feel like, well, me and you kind of share like a similar story.

01:02:47.580 I transitioned like super young.

01:02:49.520 I came out to my mom and, well, not telling her I was trans, but told her that I was a

01:02:55.000 girl at the age of six.

01:02:56.680 It's been like years.

01:02:58.020 It's like, well, I've lived female more than I've ever lived male.

01:03:01.660 So like, I just feel like it's just living proof that I obviously knew who I was just

01:03:05.200 like everyone else does.

01:03:07.480 I don't understand why I can't just decide that I'm a girl.

01:03:10.460 It's a big decision to decide I'm a girl.

01:03:12.200 It's a big decision to decide I'm a boy.

01:03:14.000 Right.

01:03:14.480 It's just, it's the same thing.

01:03:16.100 There's no, there's no age.

01:03:17.460 You don't have to be 18 to decide that, oh, I am who I am.

01:03:21.700 I think we don't give children enough credit for coming into this world and having a sense

01:03:27.360 of purity and understanding for themselves.

01:03:29.760 Like, um, I definitely had that at a very young age and I tried to express that a lot,

01:03:34.800 but I grew up in like a very stereotypically Christian family.

01:03:38.180 Okay.

01:03:38.580 So like me telling my mom any type of me being different was like, oh my God, like literally

01:03:43.700 she called my grandma and they prayed over me.

01:03:45.520 I was like seven.

01:03:47.040 I was like seven.

01:03:48.460 And like at that very moment, like it was very like fearful.

01:03:51.420 Like fear striking.

01:03:52.760 But like at the same time, if we're going to be able to like have relationships and be

01:03:57.320 authentic with each other, this is something that I need you all to get, you know?

01:04:00.520 Yeah.

01:04:00.900 But I would love to hear from you also about just like, as I said, like I always knew I

01:04:05.800 was a boy because it was just a thing that I grew up knowing.

01:04:07.760 Yeah.

01:04:08.120 Yeah.

01:04:09.640 So everything that these kids are saying is nonsense. 0.60

01:04:12.460 It's gibberish.

01:04:13.340 One of the kids says that the fact that he announced his fictional female identity when he

01:04:17.020 was six somehow proves that it's legitimate.

01:04:18.820 But I believe this when I was six is not a convincing defense for literally any proposition.

01:04:25.040 Six-year-olds believe lots of things about the world and themselves that are not so.

01:04:28.600 This is one of the hallmarks of early childhood.

01:04:30.700 It also has been one of the most, you know, has been, had been one of the most charming

01:04:34.620 and joyful things about childhood.

01:04:36.620 The fact that kids are so innocent and oblivious.

01:04:38.980 But the left has exploited this innocence in the most insidious kind of way.

01:04:43.640 The other boy says that choosing to transition into a girl isn't a big decision any more than

01:04:48.920 it would be a big decision to choose to remain a boy.

01:04:52.600 That's like saying that a nine-year-old choosing to be a commercial airline pilot isn't any more

01:04:57.400 of a big decision than choosing to not be a commercial airline pilot.

01:05:00.940 Just because one decision is big doesn't mean that the reverse of that decision is also big.

01:05:05.320 Of course, my analogy doesn't totally work because it is at least technically possible

01:05:10.240 for a nine-year-old to pilot a plane.

01:05:11.840 It's not a good idea, but it's possible.

01:05:13.860 It's not possible for a nine-year-old or for anyone of any age to become the opposite sex.

01:05:17.700 So again, this is all nonsensical, but I don't judge these children, obviously, or feel

01:05:22.100 any, you know, contempt towards them.

01:05:24.740 They're abuse victims. 0.95

01:05:25.800 They've been brainwashed.

01:05:26.820 They've been led down a path and they've been made to believe that it's a path they chose.

01:05:31.580 And now they are offering retroactive justifications for this path that was actually chosen for them.

01:05:38.100 And they're not justifications that they came up with, but rather they are talking points

01:05:41.640 that they were given and that they were told to repeat on occasions like this.

01:05:46.860 So I have an immense amount of sympathy for these kids.

01:05:50.640 But Daniel Radcliffe, on the other hand, is a different story.

01:05:54.900 You know, notice how Radcliffe ever so meekly pushes back and attentively suggesting that

01:05:59.940 maybe somebody might raise an arguably somewhat valid concern about, you know, whether children

01:06:06.920 are old enough to make these kinds of decisions.

01:06:08.860 It's totally patronizing, of course, he hastens to add.

01:06:11.520 It's patronizing and they're wrong for saying it, but, you know, I mean, how should we respond

01:06:15.620 to these questions?

01:06:17.960 Yeah.

01:06:18.640 I mean, listen, Daniel, you know better.

01:06:21.580 You're only a few years younger than me.

01:06:23.140 You grew up in a world where the biological reality of male and female was not in question,

01:06:27.360 which is the same world that every generation of human beings, except the most recent one,

01:06:31.020 grew up in. 0.98

01:06:32.640 So they didn't get to you soon enough or young enough for you to actually buy this garbage. 0.91

01:06:37.500 You cannot have been convinced because nobody's ever presented an argument in defense of this 0.93

01:06:42.420 stuff.

01:06:42.700 It's not that they've made bad arguments.

01:06:44.860 It's that they've made no arguments.

01:06:46.900 So there was never a moment when someone came along and said to you, hey, you know, actually,

01:06:50.820 little boys can really be girls and we should give them drugs to make them into girls, 1.00

01:06:54.520 even though they already are girls.

01:06:55.660 But they're girls invisibly, you see. 0.88

01:06:57.380 And so they're girls in some kind of, you know, in some sort of abstract sense.

01:07:01.440 And that's what we need the drugs for.

01:07:04.080 And then no one said that to you.

01:07:05.820 And then you said, oh, well, that makes sense.

01:07:07.780 OK, I mean, you've convinced me.

01:07:10.740 No, that didn't happen because a mostly sane and moderately intelligent person cannot be

01:07:15.420 persuaded by unintelligible gibberish.

01:07:18.880 So there can't be any I get it moment because there's nothing to get.

01:07:22.460 You weren't convinced by arguments or by any kind of reasoning process.

01:07:27.000 You were instead, like most other adults on the left, convinced in the same way that,

01:07:31.080 you know, a shop owner in the 1940s would have been convinced to accept the protection

01:07:36.180 of the mob.

01:07:37.840 The mob doesn't come to a business and present a proposal, a business proposal, and then,

01:07:43.080 you know, give you a week to weigh the pros and cons.

01:07:45.160 They extract your compliance through threat and force.

01:07:50.080 And that is exactly how the LGBT mob operates. 1.00

01:07:53.600 You have been encouraged to promote the trans agenda, encouraged with the promise that if 0.85

01:07:58.620 you don't, they'll rip your life to shreds and also your career.

01:08:02.640 It's been hard enough for the Harry Potter guy to get any good roles outside of the Harry

01:08:06.060 Potter franchise.

01:08:07.020 Imagine how hard it would be if the Harry Potter guy was also a transphobe.

01:08:09.820 So that's the calculation that you made.

01:08:14.100 You may take comfort in the fact that you're only going along with this sinister madness

01:08:18.480 because you feel you have no other choice.

01:08:20.140 But you should realize that every era has its own sort of sinister madness.

01:08:24.500 And every person who's ever gone along with it has made the exact same rationalization that

01:08:30.240 you are making now.

01:08:31.620 And yet we look back on those people with disgust.

01:08:33.940 First, they were faced with a test, stand for what's right and true and endure the consequences

01:08:39.300 or cooperate with evil for the sake of their own self-preservation.

01:08:43.260 And they failed the test.

01:08:45.040 And they're defined forever and for all time by that failure, just as you will be.

01:08:50.340 You sat in a room full of child abuse victims and you applauded their abuse. 1.00

01:08:55.260 You are a disgrace and a coward and a liar. 1.00

01:08:58.540 You sold whatever fragments of your soul you still had left. 1.00

01:09:01.340 I hope it was worth it, but I know that it wasn't.

01:09:05.880 Because again, it never is.

01:09:08.100 And that's why you are today canceled.

01:09:11.440 And that'll do it for the show or for this portion of shows.

01:09:13.660 Move over to Members Block.

01:09:14.580 Hope to see you there.

01:09:15.200 If not, talk to you on Monday.

01:09:16.180 Have a great weekend.
