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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
00:16:29.520
That was a trade-off. And it's never worth it. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:16:41.400

now. We begin with a report from James O'Keefe, who's on his own now, but still covering extremely
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
00:18:31.100
prison for raping and killing women who get put in our rooms, inmate number one claimed.
00:18:34.660
Imagine coming into your room one day and you're in closed custody and you turn around and there's
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,
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.
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?
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.
00:19:42.620
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.
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
00:20:42.200
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,
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
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
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
00:21:39.420
believe in about the transgenders. Inmate number two said, I've heard some of these men talk about
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:24:03.280
because men and women are different and they commit different kinds of crimes. Not to say that women
00:24:06.940
can't be violent, but the majority of women in prison are there for drugs. They're there for property
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
00:24:41.480
the left's concerned. And yet they are superseded entirely by trans. Just think about this. A white,
00:24:50.100
a white male convicted rapist takes priority over a nonviolent, poor black female by this equation.
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,
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,
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
00:25:59.140
dude. That is directly and explicitly what the left is saying. Because we have, yeah, male sex
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
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,
00:26:57.640
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.
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.
00:28:53.180
You know, I'm far from the first to point this out.
00:29:00.100
That part of what we're dealing with here, it's a bunch of dorks, okay?
00:29:10.020
And they wanted to be actors, but they couldn't hack it.
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.
00:30:29.720
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.
00:31:05.360
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.
00:31:27.740
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.
00:31:44.940
They've denied that the United States is involved in the war.
00:31:54.040
And now we get the United States center just casually saying, yeah, we're at war.
00:31:58.940
You know, constitutionally, a declaration of war is supposed to be made by Congress.
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.
00:32:17.420
And now any politician could just declare it on Twitter.
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.
00:32:38.540
So it's more like I despise you and you are not serious people.
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.
00:33:08.840
And the media, a bunch of unserious people as well, they treat it as nothing.
00:33:14.940
You know, nobody's asking, hey, wait a second, Senator, are we at war?
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.
00:33:39.000
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.
00:34:17.820
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.
00:34:33.360
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.
00:34:59.720
Here's another episode of headline versus reality.
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.
00:35:24.180
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.
00:35:49.060
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?
00:36:03.180
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.
00:36:20.520
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.
00:36:40.980
And they also, as always, and this is something to remember when it comes to these gun violence statistics,
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.
00:37:11.060
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.
00:37:40.340
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,
00:37:57.760
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.
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.
00:39:05.100
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.
00:39:26.040
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.
00:39:49.680
In support of Bud Light and their time of stress.
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.
00:40:06.300
Like, what you're, what you're doing, what they're doing, is just spreading the brand to an extra group of people.
00:40:13.420
Why, if something is good, do you give a f*** who's got it?
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.
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.
00:40:43.760
If only ISIS had bear claw donuts, I'm still eating those f***ing donuts.
00:40:47.320
On the other hand, I love Kid Rock's video, because I love that.
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.
00:41:12.040
Don't they all support, like, LBGTQ plus AI, whatever the hell else they're attaching to issues?
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?
00:41:41.620
If they want to subject themselves to Bud Light, then if they want that punishment for themselves, go for it.
00:41:51.340
The point is that Bud Light is promoting transgenderism.
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.
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.
00:42:49.860
In the other case, you have the company officially endorsing what these people are doing.
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.
00:43:07.600
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.
00:43:36.440
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.
00:44:07.420
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.
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.
00:45:30.520
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?
00:45:48.400
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.
00:46:23.040
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.
00:46:34.400
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.
00:47:02.140
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

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.
00:48:51.420
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.
00:49:32.400
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.
00:49:49.440
And and now you have to prove her her guilt in a court of law.
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.
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.
00:50:29.360
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.
00:50:40.740
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.
00:51:01.180
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.
00:51:13.480
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.
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.
00:51:40.860
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.
00:51:52.060
And I always wondered was that just was that just where I lived or was it a nationwide phenomenon?
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.
00:53:06.500
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.
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.
00:53:55.800
They don't need they don't need anybody's 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.
00:54:16.280
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.
00:54:35.280
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.
00:54:51.120
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.
00:55:17.340
And so this is kids already knew about Dylan Mulvaney because they're on TikTok.
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.
00:55:36.100
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.
00:55:45.760
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.
00:56:12.100
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

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.
00:57:50.280
We're not like her, they cry, as they humble themselves before the LGBT God.
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.
00:58:11.020
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
00:59:05.300
in a video produced by the left-wing extremist group The Trevor Project.
00:59:09.580
I learned from, you know, out of the cradle that I am, you know, that I was a boy.
00:59:23.800
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.
00:59:36.380
How do I know I'm a girl and I need more time to think about this?
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
01:00:04.000
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
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.
01:00:36.220
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.
01:00:50.220
I couldn't care less if they like superheroes or the color blue.
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.
01:01:12.880
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.
01:01:27.440
My six-year-old prefers to follow his older brother around and annoy him with whatever he's doing.
01:01:34.060
What's the significance of their lack of interest in sports and superheroes?
01:01:42.300
I mean, I'm as conservative as you can get when it comes to these issues, right?
01:01:49.620
Like I said, I embrace the fact that I, oh, gender, we don't want gender roles.
01:01:55.760
But even I, with my own sons, I'm not like, well, you need to sit down and watch Batman.
01:02:11.340
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
01:02:25.380
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.
01:02:49.520
I came out to my mom and, well, not telling her I was trans, but told her that I was a
01:02:58.020
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
01:03:07.480
I don't understand why I can't just decide that I'm a girl.
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
01:03:29.760
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.
01:03:38.580
So like me telling my mom any type of me being different was like, oh my God, like literally
01:03:48.460
And like at that very moment, like it was very like fearful.
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?
01:04:00.900
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.
01:04:09.640
So everything that these kids are saying is nonsense.
01:04:13.340
One of the kids says that the fact that he announced his fictional female identity when he
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
01:04:36.620
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
01:05:13.860
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
01:05:26.820
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
01:06:23.140
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,
01:06:32.640
So they didn't get to you soon enough or young enough for you to actually buy this garbage.
01:06:37.500
You cannot have been convinced because nobody's ever presented an argument in defense of this
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,
01:06:57.380
And so they're girls in some kind of, you know, in some sort of abstract sense.
01:07:10.740
No, that didn't happen because a mostly sane and moderately intelligent person cannot be
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
01:07:37.840
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.
01:07:53.600
You have been encouraged to promote the trans agenda, encouraged with the promise that if
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
01:08:07.020
Imagine how hard it would be if the Harry Potter guy was also a transphobe.
