Today on the Matt Wall Show, Jazz Jennings is one of the most prominent trans-identified people in the country.
00:00:04.740
He's also an abuse victim who has been brainwashed by the evil adults in his life, especially by his mother.
00:00:10.140
Jazz posted a video criticizing me this week, and I'll give my response today.
00:00:14.420
Also, a woman accusing Tucker Carlson of creating a hostile work environment has been doing the media rounds.
00:00:21.520
And we have an all-time classic to add to the catalog of terrible Kamala Harris speeches.
00:00:25.500
Finally, companies are sending opt-out emails to save customers from having to receive traumatic Mother's Day emails.
00:00:32.640
What's that all about? We'll talk about it and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:43.560
The pro-life battle has finally left D.C. and is going to the grassroots.
00:00:47.260
As one of the largest pro-life organizations in the entire world, no one is in a better position than 40 Days for Life to end abortion in a post-Roe America.
00:00:54.480
With one million volunteers in 1,500 cities, 40 Days for Life holds peaceful vigils outside abortion facilities.
00:01:00.560
Because of that, they actually have a larger presence in blue states, specifically California.
00:01:04.520
Former abortion clinic directors say that these vigils can cause the abortion no-show rate to go as high as 75%, which is very detrimental to their business, which is a very good thing.
00:01:12.840
These law-abiding vigils have helped close abortion facilities in San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, and many other cities as well.
00:01:18.360
They're also leading the way in efforts to prevent pharmacies from dispensing chemical abortions.
00:01:22.400
You can support their work and check out their locations, podcasts, and free magazine at 40daysforlife.com.
00:01:27.660
It's really important that you do that because if you think that this issue is over and it's all solved now because Roe is on the ash heap of history, you're totally wrong.
00:01:37.960

Jazz Jennings is a name you probably recognize.
00:01:45.040
He's now a 22-year-old man who identifies as a woman, or I should say was identified, was identified as a woman.
00:01:52.860
This is not a path that Jennings chose for himself.
00:01:58.720
And we know that about him, and we know much else about him because his parents not only chose to make him trans from a young age,
00:02:05.940
but also chose to make him a public figure from a young age.
00:02:08.840
We're told that Jennings was first diagnosed with gender dysphoria at the age of four,
00:02:13.560
though his mother insists that he identified as a girl before that, before he was even old enough to talk.
00:02:20.300
By six years old, the child was already doing the media rounds.
00:02:25.180
His mother shuffled him from one interview to the next.
00:02:28.620
He was featured on 2020, and the Rosie O'Donnell Show, which existed at the time, as well had him.
00:02:34.240
By the age of seven, Jazz's parents had established their own foundation, which is the Trans Kid Purple Rainbow Foundation.
00:02:41.600
And this foundation was made so that they could assist trans youth and also, as it happens, receive donations.
00:02:48.500
You know, coincidence there that they started doing the media rounds, and then they started a foundation where they could take donations.
00:02:54.900
Barely in a middle school, Jazz started in his first documentary, I Am Jazz, A Family in Transition,
00:03:01.000
premiered on the Oprah Winfrey Network in 2011.
00:03:03.420
A couple years later, Jazz had another 2020 interview, a follow-up.
00:03:06.720
Two years after that, while still a child, Jazz, quote-unquote, co-wrote a children's book about his life titled I Am Jazz.
00:03:14.240
And that was in the same year that Jazz Jennings began receiving awards and accolades and recognition
00:03:19.720
from organizations like GLAAD and Time Magazine and many others.
00:03:23.580
A year later, the Jazz Jennings reality TV show debuted on TLC when he was still a kid, followed by the Jazz Jennings memoir.
00:03:32.580
And while he was being constantly filmed and documented with this spotlight shining on him,
00:03:40.100
he was also, at the same time, being led from one step in the medical transition process to the next,
00:03:45.700
starting with, of course, the chemical castration drugs at the age of 11, followed by hormones,
00:03:54.840
Now, yes, we're told, right, that nobody's performing actual surgeries on kids.
00:03:59.160
And yet, one of the most prominent trans-identified people in the country had surgery when he was a kid.
00:04:08.380
By the age of 20, Jazz had undergone three, quote-unquote, gender confirmation surgeries.
00:04:13.460
So, he still wasn't old enough to legally purchase a beer, Bud Light, presumably.
00:04:18.380
And yet, he had been taking drugs for nearly a decade at that point,
00:04:23.020
and had been getting one gender transition surgery after another for the past three years before that.
00:04:28.460
Jazz's mother was there every step of the way, of course, helping him along.
00:04:32.000
And that, quote, help would often take on a very aggressive and horrendously disturbing form.
00:04:37.480
So, listen to this clip from the reality show just a few years ago, shortly after Jazz got,
00:04:43.560
I think this was his first surgery, and here's his mother.
00:04:47.940
With her, I'm worried about, like, her mental well-being and her dilation.
00:04:54.820
The minute she leaves my house, we have a dilation problem.
00:05:04.100
I have woken Jazz out of a dead sleep and taken the dilator and put the lubrication on it and said,
00:05:10.280
here, you take this and you put it in your vagina.
00:05:13.740
But Jazz is bad, even when I'm home once a day.
00:05:16.480
I would be so mad if she goes away to college and that thing seals up.
00:05:30.520
Yes, that is the mother of Jazz Jennings talking about how she forcibly dilates her son's fake neo-vagina in the middle of the night.
00:05:42.640
And this never-ending process of dilation and lubrication is necessary to prevent the quote-unquote vagina from closing up
00:05:50.260
It is an open wound, which is carved into the place where the male genitalia used to be.
00:05:56.820
This is what was done to Jazz Jennings at the age of 17.
00:05:59.760
He was butchered, turned into a lifelong medical patient in pursuit of something that he can never attain,
00:06:06.600
searching for a female identity that will always be out of reach.
00:06:10.940
And this explains why, most recently, Jazz was on camera on the reality show expressing deep and profound despair
00:06:19.740
and telling his mother that he, quote-unquote, doesn't feel like himself.
00:06:24.040
So, um, are you feeling like you wanted to start talking about, are you okay?
00:06:45.580
But the more you're talking about yourself, it gets harder.
00:06:48.620
You're digging in and you're, it's making you put a magnifying glass on what's already difficult as it is.
00:06:56.020
And you don't, we don't want to push you anymore.
00:07:02.720
I feel kind of all over the place and, like, my mind is very cluttered and not clear.
00:07:10.020
I really want to understand myself and be able to read my own soul and what I want.
00:07:17.340
And I think I'm kind of breaking down a little bit and spiraling into negativity.
00:07:25.880
All I want is to be happy and feel like me and I don't feel like me.
00:07:33.620
Did your mom take you to Dr. Frankenstein to be genitally butchered as well?
00:07:40.260
Of course, this is terrible to watch, unfathomably sad.
00:07:43.260
And I feel nothing but sympathy and compassion for Jazz Jennings.
00:07:46.680
He was subjected to a lifelong brainwashing campaign, which began practically from birth
00:07:52.260
and which led to permanent physical changes in his body long before
00:07:56.440
he could have possibly had any chance to realize what was being done to him.
00:08:04.000
Though, like many abuse victims, he is at this point in his life not able to see it.
00:08:10.260
Not able to see the fact that he's an abuse victim or at least not able to accept it.
00:08:14.100
That's what came through yesterday when Jazz published a video on his own YouTube channel
00:08:17.340
responding to a number of conservative commentators, including myself.
00:08:20.880
Jazz reacts to a segment of this show from a few weeks ago where I am myself responding
00:08:25.480
to that clip we just watched of Jazz expressing despair and apparent regret.
00:08:29.160
And in his response, he says that I have misconstrued and he insists that the surgery brought him
00:08:44.560
And this is what he says later in the interview.
00:08:46.960
This is the person, everyone who said, Jazz is so unhappy and it's because of this is what
00:08:57.060
And I want you to respond to this and maybe whatever you want to say to this.
00:09:02.780
Mother brainwashed this kid into doing this and now she's going to keep that brainwashed
00:09:09.780
So he may never fully come to terms with what happened, at least as long as his disgusting
00:09:18.300
I don't know why people like are so intent on bringing our community down.
00:09:30.020
You know, we need to celebrate each other and our diversity.
00:09:34.120
Anytime you're wishing death on anyone, I think you need to take a step back and look
00:09:37.640
at yourself and your, you know, whatever's going on with you.
00:09:42.940
People like him are the ones abusing us by saying these awful negative things about our
00:09:51.000
And it is clear in this video that there are people out there who want to hurt us, who
00:09:54.860
want to see us fail, who want to see us be miserable.
00:09:57.460
And that's really f***ed up because we're not wishing that upon anyone.
00:10:00.660
We just want people to open their eyes and see that we are beautiful.
00:10:04.940
Everyone is beautiful and everyone deserves to be their authentic self.
00:10:10.860
And just to see someone like this saying such negative things, it's, you know, it's hurtful.
00:10:18.940
I have faced people, you know, attacking me and my identity.
00:10:28.340
Now, I was going to respond to this just sort of in general terms, but I think instead I'd
00:10:35.360
Jazz has addressed me directly, asked some questions, and I'd like to answer them.
00:10:38.880
So, Jazz, first of all, I understand why you're frustrated that people are talking about
00:10:44.760
you and from your perspective involving themselves in your private life.
00:10:49.540
You are absolutely right that your conversation with your mother that we saw there about your
00:10:53.820
own deep emotional and psychological pains should not have been a public spectacle.
00:11:12.040
She did it way before you could have possibly chosen this, chosen any of this for yourself.
00:11:17.220
She had you on 2020 and starring in Oprah Winfrey specials when you were a young child.
00:11:24.920
She was parading you around as a mascot for transgenderism at an age when, you know, when
00:11:30.520
I was that age, I was spending my time watching cartoons and playing outside in the woods.
00:11:42.700
She was more interested in monetizing you, using you as a vehicle to promote her ideology.
00:11:49.000
And it's proven to be an effective vehicle, which is why I have to respond.
00:11:59.620
I wish that you were left alone way back when you were a child, left to simply be a child.
00:12:08.960
And it was taken from you by the adults in your life, especially your mom.
00:12:16.580
Listen, even if it was somehow true that you really are a female, you need to go through
00:12:22.320
this necessary process of becoming your true self through the surgeries and everything else,
00:12:31.280
But that still would not justify your mom's decision to turn you into a public figure as
00:12:37.120
a child, a symbol for a cause from such a young age.
00:12:42.760
Even if we accept the logic behind transitioning children, which again, I do not accept and never
00:12:48.920
would, it still would be unforgivable for a parent to make it into a public exhibition,
00:12:59.580
Now, you also accused me of wanting to hurt you and make you miserable.
00:13:11.340
And you don't feel like yourself because you have been led since childhood down a path
00:13:18.260
Now, you say that everyone deserves to be their authentic self.
00:13:22.300
Deserve is an apt choice of words, in fact, in this case.
00:13:25.820
Every child deserves to be shown the way towards truth and their own true selves.
00:13:31.840
Every child deserves to grow up in the light, surrounded by adults who are sources of clarity
00:13:46.280
You have been fed lies, one lie after another, and they are the worst kinds of lies.
00:13:51.000
They are lies that deprive you of the recognition of your true self.
00:13:58.060
I can't imagine what it does to a person to live with it every day since the earliest
00:14:09.980
Nobody in your life has ever told you the truth.
00:14:13.940
They have never been honest with you about anything, ever.
00:14:17.480
They all are incentivized to keep up the deception.
00:14:23.000
Well, I have no incentive other than my own love of the truth and my concern for you as
00:14:28.760
a person and my concern for everyone else in your same situation.
00:14:31.960
I don't stand to gain anything when I tell you this, but I'll tell you anyway.
00:14:38.720
There's nothing wrong with who you are, with who you actually are.
00:14:41.780
Your maleness was never a problem that needed to be fixed.
00:14:47.780
The adults in your life told you that you were sick.
00:14:51.040
They diagnosed you and they labeled you and they defined you by those labels.
00:14:57.720
They introduced horrific confusion into your life and then they profited off of that confusion.
00:15:06.560
The doctors, your parents, the activist groups, the media, the TV networks, they all swarmed around
00:15:15.080
And now those same people, they want you to live a lie for the rest of your life because
00:15:19.320
if you don't, if you don't, it will embarrass and potentially impoverish them.
00:15:27.020
Well, if we're talking about what people deserve, they deserve that.
00:15:32.880
And I'm telling it to you, even if it hurts to hear.
00:15:37.820
Still, you need to hear it at least once in your life.
00:15:50.680
Companies are strong arming their customers to support abortion, canceling customers for
00:15:54.900
their political views and making a mockery of women by supporting transgender models.
00:15:58.780
No government agency, institution, or company is allowed to just be what it is and focus
00:16:04.060
on fulfilling the tasks that it was made to fulfill.
00:16:09.060
Their primary concern is not with brewing and distributing beer, but with showing their
00:16:12.360
support of the left's political and cultural agenda.
00:16:16.900
Public Square is an app and it's a website as well where you can get connected to tens of
00:16:20.460

00:16:28.580
So you can actually have an incentive to spend money with companies that don't hate you.
00:16:32.900
Whether you're looking for new athletic clothing that knows what a woman is, a banking partner
00:16:37.240
that you count on, simply a new restaurant in your area that won't lecture you about your
00:16:40.580

00:16:57.240
Let's start with something fun, something we all always enjoy, Kamala Harris giving a speech
00:17:03.340
and as always, for whatever reason, attempting to inflate the word count.
00:17:08.340
Nobody can figure out why she feels the need to always do this, but she does.
00:17:13.940
I think it's very important, as you have heard from so many incredible leaders, for us at
00:17:22.560
every moment in time, and certainly this one, to see the moment in time in which we exist
00:17:30.160
and our present and our present, and to be able to contextualize it, to understand where we exist
00:17:37.060
in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past, but the future.
00:17:42.920
It is so important at every moment in time, and at each individual moment in time, certainly
00:17:52.880
this moment in time, but also the next moment in time, and even the moment in time after
00:17:58.560
the next moment in time, which precedes the moment in time after that.
00:18:04.360
And through all these moments, moment after moment after moment, time after time, if you're
00:18:11.020
lost, you can look and you will find me, moment by moment, through all the moments.
00:18:15.940
I just figured out, I figured out, I just, as I'm babbling like Kamala Harris, I realized,
00:18:20.860
I figured out Kamala Harris, in every speech, she is Ben Stiller saying grace in Meet the
00:18:27.320
That every speech is like watching that scene where Ben Stiller is put on the spot and has
00:18:34.400
It's like every speech she does, but it doesn't make sense because, you know, he was put on
00:18:42.040
It's not like she's five wines deep at the wedding, and now she has to give a toast, and
00:18:47.860
she didn't prepare anything, and so she's rambling.
00:18:50.380
These are pre-planned official speeches, right?
00:18:56.060
And if you're a politician, really if you're the vice president, you have served no function.
00:19:02.240
Other than to show up to stuff like this and give dumb speeches.
00:19:07.960
And so I always assumed, anyway, that don't they have people on staff that they write these
00:19:12.760
things for you, and they tell you, oh, you're giving a speech here for, what's that for?
00:19:17.480
And then they hand you the paper, and you read it, or you put it up on the prompter.
00:19:23.080
Do they really send her out there to riff for all these events?
00:19:30.980
That could be the twist ending, that all this stuff, we're making fun of Kamala Harris.
00:19:34.080
Maybe she's reading all of this directly from prompter.
00:19:36.760
It could be more like, rather than meet the parents, maybe it's more like the scene in
00:19:39.760
Idiocracy, where the president starts the State of the Union address, and he's like,
00:19:46.800
And then you look, and you see the prompter, and it says that on the prompter.
00:19:49.440
So it could be that, you know, this could be an ongoing act of sabotage against Kamala
00:19:59.760
I don't know what it is, but the end result is that it's very funny, at least.
00:20:05.300
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez celebrated Fox News' firing of former host Tucker Carlson
00:20:09.880
on Monday, saying that deplatforming works and that good things can happen.
00:20:14.480
Ocasio-Cortez's remarks came after she claimed over the weekend that Carlson was responsible
00:20:18.280
for incitement of violence, and that lawmakers needed to be open to explore through law ways
00:20:23.460
to regulate news content on networks like Fox News.
00:20:29.580
It makes her feel very good because, yeah, in fact, just a couple of days before Tucker
00:20:39.240
In fact, the day before it was announced that he was fired, she was on the news saying that
00:20:58.760
Um, what I will say, though, is while I'm very glad that the person that is arguably responsible
00:21:10.580
for the, some of the largest, driving some of the most, uh, amounts of death threats and
00:21:16.540
violent threats, not just to my office, but to plenty of people across the country, um,
00:21:20.700
I also kind of feel like I'm like waiting for the cutscene at the end of a Marvel movie after
00:21:27.080
all the credits have rolled and then you see like the villain's like hand reemerge out to
00:21:35.140
grip, grip over like the end of a building or something.
00:21:38.180
Um, but deplatforming works and it is important and, um, there you go.
00:21:57.320
You know, it also, it also very often backfires against them.
00:22:01.060
You know, in fact, uh, speaking of which there, as we know, there's been this effort to deplatform
00:22:09.860
Well, uh, and I posted this to Twitter yesterday, but after all of that, uh, my podcast is ranked
00:22:17.120
top five on, uh, Apple podcasts and Spotify in our category, um, in large part in response
00:22:25.800
So she says it works, but that's often the end result.
00:22:34.440
As long as when, when you're, when they're doing this cancellation campaign against you,
00:22:38.300
as long as you refuse to apologize and you stay on message.
00:22:43.440
As the target of the cancellation, as long as you do that, you could come out on the other
00:22:47.080
end, having a larger platform and more influence than you had before.
00:22:50.440
And I have no doubt that that will happen with Tucker Carlson.
00:22:53.300
You know, Tucker Carlson is going to be the, I believe trying to peer into the future through
00:22:58.240
I believe this, Tucker Carlson is going to be the prime example, the number one example
00:23:03.420
of how deplatforming ultimately backfires on these people because he's going to go somewhere
00:23:10.660
He's going to do something else and he's going to have more influence than he's ever had
00:23:15.100
I think that's what's going to end up happening.
00:23:16.300
But in the short term, yeah, it does, it does work in the sense that you, you don't, somebody's
00:23:22.740
on a platform and they're saying things and they're able to reach an audience.
00:23:25.960
And we know on the left, they cannot engage with any of it.
00:23:35.160
So all they can do is just forcibly stop you from talking, at least on that platform.
00:23:41.780
And then you go over to another one and they follow you there and they try to get rid of
00:23:45.380
So she feels like she got a big win here, which that alone, it is unforgivable and disgraceful
00:23:54.140
by Fox News that they would give this kind of, at least in the short term, this seeming
00:24:00.800
apparent win to the left, rewarding their deplatforming efforts.
00:24:06.560
A day after AOC is talking about how it needs to be censored by the government, Tucker Carlson
00:24:11.540
should have been on air and it probably would have been on Monday responding to that.
00:24:18.660
So this was a disgraceful move by Fox for a lot of reasons.
00:24:24.900
You are rewarding your own enemies, who it turns out are not really your enemies because
00:24:35.180
But the question still remains about why this termination happened.
00:24:37.940
And there have been many reports about how it was related to lawsuits and so on.
00:24:49.020
All I have is my own BS meter that is usually pretty well honed.
00:24:56.240
I told you yesterday that to me, this is simply, this happened because of who Tucker is and
00:25:05.040
The fact that he's actually an effective right wing figure and advocate, that's why he's not
00:25:12.820
welcome at Fox and that's why they got rid of him.
00:25:14.320
And now there's a new report from Vanity Fair, which seems to confirm this.
00:25:19.740
It says, 24 hours after Fox News ousted its highest rated host, the network has yet to
00:25:25.720
explain one of the most shocking defense stations in cable news history.
00:25:30.560
I'm not going beyond the release of Fox News spokeswoman texted yesterday when I asked her
00:25:36.980
In this information, void multiple theories about why Fox fired Carlson circulated in the
00:25:45.580
It was punishment for vulgar text messages published in Dominion court filings.
00:25:48.800
It was a consequence of former Fox producer Abby Grossberg's lawsuit, which we'll talk more
00:25:53.240
about that in a minute, which alleged Carlson oversaw a hostile work environment.
00:25:58.680
But none of these potential reasons fully add up.
00:26:01.220
Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo hyped Dominion for conspiracies far more than Carlson did,
00:26:10.060
Fox had access to Carlson's texts and emails and Dominion lawsuit for months, and they didn't
00:26:17.700
Mystery remains, why did Fox News take its biggest star off the air?
00:26:23.000
According to the source, Fox Corporation chair Rupert Murdoch removed Carlson over remarks
00:26:28.500
that Carlson made during a speech at the Heritage Foundation's 50th anniversary gala on Friday
00:26:34.380
Carlson laced his speech with religious overtones that even Murdoch found too extreme, according
00:26:39.100
to the source, who was briefed on Murdoch's decision making.
00:26:41.680
Carlson told the Heritage audience that national politics has become a battle between good and
00:26:47.060
Carlson said that people advocating for transgender rights and DEI programs want to destroy America
00:27:10.860
And everything that he says in the speech is 100% accurate.
00:27:14.040
This is, in fact, a battle of good versus evil.
00:27:18.280
Um, this has gone well beyond any sort of debate over the facts because we, we are debating
00:27:27.480
They, it's not just they don't care about the facts.
00:27:36.200
They reject in principle the very idea that there can be a fact.
00:27:50.080
We have our own truth and we get to set the rules for our own universe according to our,
00:27:55.120
our own, you know, emotional and narcissistic whims.
00:28:01.060
And it is a spiritual battle versus good of good versus evil.
00:28:07.040
And according to this report, that's a big reason why he got canned.
00:28:15.120
He doesn't like all the spiritual talk, the source said.
00:28:18.340
Rupert Murdoch was perhaps unnerved by Carlson's, uh, uh, messianism because it echoed the end
00:28:24.660
times worldview of Murdoch's ex-fiancee and Leslie Smith, the source said in a May cover
00:28:30.260
story of, uh, Vanity Fair, uh, Murdoch and Smith called off their two week engagement
00:28:34.880
because Smith had told people that Carlson was a messenger from God.
00:28:38.240
Uh, Murdoch had seen Carlson and Smith discuss religion firsthand.
00:28:42.920
And so apparently they were at a dinner, uh, back in March and, uh, uh, Rupert Murdoch's
00:28:48.380
then fiancee, his fiancee would have been going on wife number five, I think, was having this
00:28:54.860
Rupert Murdoch was there and they were talking about all these things about how this is a
00:29:01.860
Uh, shortly after that, he dumps the fiancee and then shortly after that, he gets rid of
00:29:11.720
I mean, it doesn't make sense to fire him for it, but it makes sense that Fox would, uh,
00:29:17.340
makes more sense than anything tied to this Abby Grossberg lawsuit, which, you know, other
00:29:22.980
media outlets are still claiming is one of the central reasons why he got fired.
00:29:27.960
So Yahoo has this, Grossberg, formerly a senior booking producer for Fox News, um, began working
00:29:34.380
as the head of booking for Tucker Carlson tonight last year.
00:29:36.960
She was fired by Fox News last month after filing suit against the company claiming that
00:29:40.900
she was bullied and subjected to sexist and antisemitic comments while working on Carlson's
00:29:45.740
There are other reports, by the way, that, uh, she never actually met Tucker Carlson.
00:29:50.340
So she was never in the same room as him, according to some reports, but in a separate
00:29:53.880
lawsuit filed in Delaware, Grossberg claimed that she was coerced by the company's lawyers
00:29:57.060
to give misleading answers to her deposition in the Dominion case.
00:30:00.260
In the 79 page lawsuit filed in the Southern district of New York, Grossberg said that she
00:30:03.640
was startled by the behavior of male colleagues when she showed up for her first day of work
00:30:09.900
According to Grossberg, she arrived at the office to see many large and blown up photographs
00:30:13.960
of Nancy Pelosi in a plunging bath bathing suit, revealing her cleavage.
00:30:19.400
I think we have, uh, she also was doing the rounds on MSNBC, of course, and other media
00:30:22.580
outlets talking about all her horrible experiences working for Tucker Carlson.
00:30:25.740
And we have the clip of her talking about this, uh, traumatic encounter with Nancy Pelosi pictures.
00:30:33.340
I was hoping that it would be more professional and what he was portraying on air was just a
00:30:46.120
I show up first day of work and I know that this is a popular one.
00:30:51.680
There are literally pictures like this big of Nancy Pelosi in a bathing suit in Europe,
00:31:00.520
Um, there was even one on my computer screen for the temporary computer I had to use and
00:31:06.620
Um, within a few days there, I was called into Justin Wells office with Alex McCaskill,
00:31:11.940
who was a senior producer as well, and asked if Maria was having an affair with Kevin McCarthy.
00:31:27.720
Look, you know what, Abby, you're the one body shaming Nancy Pelosi.
00:31:31.640
So what, maybe they're, maybe they, they think that Nancy Pelosi is a beautiful woman and,
00:31:41.980
So you have decided to interpret that in a negative way.
00:31:48.640
Can you imagine if Abby Grossberg came to work for the Daily Wire and she, uh, encountered
00:31:53.260
our, uh, our, our five foot tall, you know, cigar store Indian of, uh, of, uh, Elizabeth Warren.
00:32:01.640
How would she, I mean, she would break down in tears immediately upon encountering that.
00:32:08.360
Uh, she also, she says that, uh, staff members frequently engaged in group discussion in which
00:32:13.460
misogynistic views of women as objects to be judged solely based on their appearance were
00:32:19.800
In these discussions, no woman, whether she was a Republican politician or female staffer
00:32:23.460
at Fox News was safe from suddenly becoming the target of sexist, demeaning comments.
00:32:28.340
In one instance cited by the paper, the lawsuit recalled a crass and sexist discussion in
00:32:33.940
the newsroom before the Republican gubernatorial candidate, uh, in Michigan, Tudor Dixon was
00:32:38.160
scheduled to appear as a guest on Carlson show.
00:32:40.360
Before Dixon arrived, staffers discussed whether Ms. Dixon or her opponent, Gretchen Whitmer
00:32:50.460
Um, I think ultimately, uh, Tudor Dixon is going to be the more attractive one.
00:32:54.860
Um, Gretchen Whitmer, you know, in my opinion, the fact that she's so evil, it's just, you,
00:33:00.840
you can't quite, maybe it's not fair to, to deduct points based on that in the discussion
00:33:07.580
But the fact that she is so despicably, horrifically evil, I think it does exude out of her and it
00:33:15.000
But a very interesting conversation, um, that apparently traumatized poor, uh, Abby
00:33:26.260
In another instance, McCaskill allegedly referred to, uh, a room in the office where Fox News
00:33:32.640
employees could pump breast milk as a waste of space.
00:33:36.400
There's someone who worked for Fox said that the room for pumping breast milk was a waste
00:33:39.640
of space and suggested it should be converted into a room of tanning beds for the guys to
00:33:46.620
Um, you know, if that was actually said, Abby, that's what's known as, uh, we actually have
00:33:53.980
So that's a, someone was making a joke is what they were doing.
00:33:59.720
But she also accuses, uh, the Tucker team of, of saying and doing a lot of things that,
00:34:11.240
And as a text that came out revealed my suspicions, um, he was looking for ratings bait purely,
00:34:20.940
It was a combination of ratings and power and manipulating the audience, um, and manipulating
00:34:28.520
There was an aspect of, I can pick who the house speaker is.
00:34:32.220
I can pick who the president of the United States is or who the Republican candidate's
00:34:37.440
And I thought that was really dangerous and didn't want that kind of power.
00:34:42.180
I didn't want to have, um, Senate candidates calling me and being very upset.
00:34:49.040
But are you going to destroy our whole campaign tonight?
00:34:52.700
And he would call and tell them that, that if you don't participate or you don't come
00:34:59.380
And I was told to tell that to congressmen sometimes.
00:35:01.680
And I didn't, how can I, that was disrespectful.
00:35:05.220
So in addition to the misogyny and the sexism and the antisemitism, there was also just this
00:35:11.220
sort of moral growth with me where I reached a breaking point because of all of those things.
00:35:25.620
I just didn't want to because I was so depressed and disillusioned by the entire media system
00:35:36.120
You know, the only, look, the only mistake that, uh, the Tucker team made, and it's not
00:35:46.860
But, you know, the only mistake, obviously, is hiring this woman.
00:35:50.040
But of course, it's just, it's not always easy to sniff these kinds of people out.
00:35:55.140
The kind of person who's going to see, you know, a joking picture of Nancy Pelosi, if
00:36:10.720
My moral growth, right, my moral growth was that I could work there and take the paychecks
00:36:16.400
in, then I get fired, and only then do I turn, you know, I get fired, and then I turn
00:36:22.060
around and try to profit to the tune of however many millions she's suing for.
00:36:29.500
Suing for millions because you were offended by alleged jokes, right, that's a sign of moral
00:36:36.800
I will say, though, that I am, there is one revelation from this that really disappoints
00:36:43.240
me, as much of a fan of Tucker Carlson as I am.
00:36:47.040
You know, when she said that Tucker Carlson was interested in ratings, good Lord, I am so
00:37:05.520
And surely, Tucker Carlson, the only figure in all of media that's concerned about ratings.
00:37:13.560
Everyone, it doesn't come up, you know, and I've worked in media, I can tell you right
00:37:16.240
now, I've never even encountered a conversation like this.
00:37:21.480
Performance, ratings, you know, downloads, advertising dollars, we never discuss it.
00:37:27.560
In fact, if I'm in a, if it even, on occasion, someone's about to, maybe I'm in a meeting,
00:37:33.540
someone broaches the conversation, well, let's look at the numbers.
00:37:42.240
I say to Jeremy Boring, that's what happens in, so, Tucker Carlson, the only figure in all
00:37:49.540
And so that is a scandal, but all the rest of it, not so much.
00:37:52.460
Um, and the claim that she, as a, like a booking producer, was told to call up congressmen and
00:38:00.980
say, come on the show or we'll destroy you, uh, that also didn't happen.
00:38:08.520
And this is why, listen, I don't know the percentages, but it is my suspicion that the
00:38:15.760
vast majority of, um, of hostile work environment claims are really come, they are, they are
00:38:30.980
Because if something illegal or actually unethical happened, then say what it was, just name it,
00:38:40.220
But when we get these kind of broad, oh, it's a hostile work environment, um, no, you're
00:38:49.080
You know, you're working with a lot of, uh, you're working with a lot of high performance
00:38:55.920
That's just the way it is in the media business.
00:38:57.280
It's the way, it's the way, it's the way it is at high levels in any industry.
00:39:07.840
And so she washed out and now she's filing a lawsuit.
00:39:19.800
Maybe we have time for one or two other things.
00:39:22.280
Uh, Kevin Bacon has come to the defense of drag queens who perform for kids.
00:39:32.580
Drag is a centuries old art form of creativity, expression, and self-exploration.
00:39:37.840
It's an opportunity to educate through entertainment and it's not dangerous.
00:39:43.320
At Six Degrees, we believe in amplifying the voices of those that are experiencing injustice.
00:39:49.020
So join us in supporting the ACLU drag defense fund by shopping our bonfire campaign or making
00:39:58.100
Kira and I are honored to support this important fund and we welcome you to do the same.
00:40:11.380
He's almost exactly quoting David French and saying some of this, uh, the quote unquote
00:40:16.420
Um, this is one of the reasons why, uh, you know, I, I think this, this fight against
00:40:23.500
the sexualization of children, especially as it comes in the form of, you know, drag events
00:40:31.460
I mean, it's important number one, because it's a evil thing that we need to stop for the
00:40:35.540
sake of the kids who are being victimized by it.
00:40:37.840
Um, so that's the most important thing, but also even from, um, kind of political perspective,
00:40:45.920
um, I'm, I'm more than happy for the Democrats to go into 2024, uh, making this part of their
00:40:54.040
platform and the more high profile Democrats and liberals who come out strongly in defense
00:41:00.540
of not just drag, but specifically drag Queens performing in front of children.
00:41:05.220
Um, I, we know that they, that they are in favor of it.
00:41:08.720
We know they're in favor of the sexualization of children.
00:41:11.920
And since it's happening and since they're in favor of it, I think it's good for them
00:41:15.340
to say it out loud and to, and to kind of wear this, um, position with pride, march under
00:41:23.120
the banner so everybody can see it and make their decisions accordingly as we go into, uh,
00:41:31.360
Because if you're like, if you're a dyed in the wool leftist, then you're brainwashed
00:41:37.520
You're, you're in favor of the sexualization of children.
00:41:39.480
It's part of your whole, it's part of your whole ideology, but anybody who's not, you
00:41:44.000
know, you don't have to be a far right extremist like myself.
00:41:46.840
If you're just not that, if you're not a dyed in the wool, far left leftist, then you,
00:41:54.160
you know, you just need to ask yourself, do you, do you really believe this?
00:42:00.320
Do you believe that not only is it okay for drag queens to perform sexually in front of
00:42:05.060
children, but they have a right to, do you believe that grown men have the God given natural
00:42:13.180
right to cross dress and perform sexually in front of children?
00:42:18.680
That's what we're hearing from everybody on the left, Democrats, celebrities.
00:42:23.200
You just need to decide if that makes any sense to you.
00:42:27.800
And if you have any kind of a soul left and any brain in your, in your head, then the
00:42:36.180
Who makes Twitter mob fly off the handle with rage?
00:42:47.020
The first step in growing up and being a real man is getting off of your parents' phone plan.
00:42:55.600
Getting your own cell phone plan gives you a sense of independence and responsibility.
00:42:58.860
It's a step towards becoming more self-sufficient.
00:43:01.200
By paying for your own finances, you learn how to budget, how to manage your money, how to be
00:43:06.340
There are a ton of cell phone providers out there.
00:43:07.740
Most of them want to lock you into horrific contracts.
00:43:10.280
They'll tack on hidden fees at any chance they get.
00:43:14.700
There are no contracts, no hassles, and you can cancel at any time.
00:43:17.660
Pure talk uses the same nationwide networks as major carriers, so you'll get the same

00:43:55.040
Sean says, the only reason why millions of people even watched Fox News in the first place
00:44:03.500
Well, you know, I obviously agree with you on that.
00:44:05.400
I think the bet that Fox News is making is that this will be kind of a Bill O'Reilly situation.
00:44:11.040
Now, you remember that, and it can be easy to forget.
00:44:14.000
Maybe that's part of the point that, you know, for Fox News is part of their point that it's so easy to forget this.
00:44:17.860
But for years, Bill O'Reilly was the biggest star in not just the Fox News, but in all of cable news.
00:44:24.660
And he was also kind of, he was no Tucker Carlson, don't get me wrong, but he was the biggest star in cable news at the time, driving conversation as well.
00:44:37.120
And then they canned him, and, you know, he's still out there doing his thing, but he's not that anymore.
00:44:46.020
His audience didn't really follow him to his next endeavor.
00:44:48.340
And because, in that case, the time slot, Fox News itself, and the whole structure they have in place, and the time slot is what made Bill O'Reilly a star.
00:44:59.960
And then they discard him, and they put somebody else in, and they say, well, make them a star.
00:45:04.620
And their bet is that it's going to be the same thing here, that Tucker Carlson wasn't really the star.
00:45:10.060
It's Fox News in the 8 o'clock time slot, Eastern Time.
00:45:14.240
And we take him out, and his audience will go away.
00:45:17.640
I think that, although that has proven to be the case, sometimes, I think it's a bad bet with Tucker Carlson.
00:45:25.640
I think he's just a, he's a different sort of media figure.
00:45:28.120
It's a different kind of media landscape, even, than it was back, even though it wasn't all that long ago when Bill O'Reilly was given the boot.
00:45:37.900
And I think that Fox News is going to take a ratings hit that will not recover quickly, and that Tucker's audience will go with him wherever he goes.
00:45:48.480
Will says, I was thinking when I was reading those accusations against Don Lemon, man, I hope Matt doesn't pounce on this, because this is really weak.
00:45:58.220
Well, if you even thought, you thought I would read some of those examples of Don Lemon's supposed sexism, and I would jump on that bandwagon and pretend that it was offensive.
00:46:07.260
He said that, he said one of the, a woman that was on the air with him, he said, you have mommy brain.
00:46:14.240
And this is supposed to be an example of, oh, misogyny.
00:46:17.860
Was there any thought in your head that I would read that and say, well, that's terrible.
00:46:22.380
That's, well, that, he'd need to be fired for that.
00:46:32.500
Don Lemon, again, it's not even a defense of Don Lemon, but it's just a statement of fact.
00:46:39.900
He probably hates everybody, because he's a narcissist, only cares about himself, like so many other people in media.
00:46:45.520
And he disregards and hates everybody else, especially anyone who he perceives to be a threat to him, anyone who he thinks is more talented than him, or getting better ratings than him.
00:46:56.420
And his ratings were always really bad, so that means he's just, that's why he hates you.
00:47:02.160
However, he certainly deserved to be fired, just based on the fact that he was untalented and doing a terrible job.
00:47:13.220
Mr. Public says, I canceled my Fox Nation subscription.
00:47:16.320
I made sure to tell them that it was due to the way they treated Tucker going out the door.
00:47:22.580
And this is very, and I've thought about this as well, this is a really interesting move on the heels of Bud Light.
00:47:28.060
And as we know, when everything happened with Bud Light, there were many people, including on the right, who said that, look, Bud Light's too big.
00:47:36.600
It's just, we can say that we're going to boycott it.
00:47:45.100
And I think there's also an assumption that Fox News is, because it's also a powerful brand, and it's just kind of like by default.
00:47:52.500
You know, there are many middle America sort of conservative people that by default, they would just go for the Bud Light, just like by default, they go for Fox News.
00:48:03.560
That didn't save Bud Light, and I don't think it's going to save Fox News either.
00:48:07.880
And Enigma says, there's nothing more annoying than someone yelling on the phone out in public, but it's even worse when the person they're yakking at is on speaker.
00:48:15.520
Yeah, I, why would you even want, I will never understand it, it's one of the mysteries of life for me, is why would you even want to speak to somebody on speaker out in public in the first place?
00:48:30.860
And, you know, it's very rude to everybody around you, because you're forcing them to listen to this conversation.
00:48:39.740
It's also rude for the person who's on speaker, because they probably don't know.
00:48:45.120
Because here's the other thing, when I'm around someone and they're speaking to somebody on the speaker phone, I never hear that person tell the person on the phone, oh, hey, by the way, you're in public right now, there's 50 people standing around, you're on speaker, everyone can hear you, continue.
00:48:58.420
You never hear that warning being given. So, just don't do it.
00:49:04.080
And, like I said, in many of these cases, you really don't need to be using your phone at all.
00:49:08.440
While it is tempting, certainly, to blame postmodernism for ushering in a prevailing sense of nihilism, the truth is, this was an issue going all the way back to biblical times.
00:49:16.700
No one likes a complainer, no matter what century you live in, you just drag everybody down, and the consequences of that are just as dire today.
00:49:23.300
This is what Dr. Stephen Blackwood points out in the 16th episode of Exodus with Jordan Peterson. Check it out.
00:49:29.360
The vision of God is a necessary condition of the flourishing of society.
00:49:39.840
Well, there's technical reasons for that, I would say, that we know biologically now, too, is that almost all enthusiasm, and so that is to be filled with the Spirit of God, that's positive emotion.
00:49:51.260
And all positive emotion of the most intense sort, I don't mean satiation and satisfaction, I mean hope and enthusiasm, that moves you forward, is tied to a vision, because all positive emotion signals movement towards a valued goal.
00:50:07.760
In addition to Stephen Blackwood, Jordan Peterson is joined by a roundtable of impressive minds who have gathered to discuss one of the most seminal books in the Bible.
00:50:15.200
We are heading into the conclusion of Exodus, which is exclusively for Daily Wire Plus members.

Mother's Day is just around the corner, which means that it's time for some woke virtue signaling from corporate America.
00:50:37.580
Every holiday is an occasion for woke virtue signaling.
00:50:39.860
Of course, every day in general is an occasion.
00:50:42.080
But Mother's Day presents a unique opportunity, and this year, the virtue signaling is taking on a perhaps slightly unexpected form.
00:50:50.740
Major corporations and businesses are sending out emails offering a chance to opt out of Mother's Day-related communications.
00:50:57.540
In a viral thread posted Sunday, Twitter account Arizona Informer posted more than a dozen screenshots from businesses sending Mother's Day opt-out offers,
00:51:04.940
noting the similar language used in the emails and equating the trend with anti-family activism.
00:51:11.980
Something very strange is happening with big corporations.
00:51:14.700
Out of nowhere, Kroger-owned Fry's food store, Kay Jewelers, Hallmark, and now DoorDash have all sent opt-out of Mother's Day emails to their customer base.
00:51:28.080
We understand that Mother's Day may be a difficult time for some, a message from DoorDash said,
00:51:32.100
adding an option to be removed from additional emails and push notifications relating to the holiday.
00:51:38.420
We know Mother's Day can be a challenging time, which is why we want to know if you'd rather not receive Mother's Day-related emails.
00:51:45.740
With Mother's Day coming up, we understand this can be a difficult time of year for some.
00:51:53.060
If you would like to opt out of Mother's Day emails, you can simply click below.
00:51:57.400
Levi's, Ancestry, Mac Cosmetics, Stitch Fix, Bye Bye Baby, Etsy, and others were some of the other companies included in the thread.
00:52:07.640
Seemingly, all at once, you know, major companies across the spectrum have jumped on the Mother's Day opt-out train.
00:52:13.600
And this is one of the hallmarks of wokeism, is that, you know, the new form of virtue signaling pops up out of nowhere.
00:52:21.020
And in the blink of an eye, everyone is expected to embrace it, even if they have no idea why they're embracing it.
00:52:28.160
Because all these corporations that are sending out emails, you can opt out of Mother's Day.
00:52:36.980
In the corporate world especially, the new virtue signal spreads like wildfire at each company.
00:52:42.000
And, you know, they all quickly adopt it for fear that being the last to adopt it might hurt their ESG score.
00:52:49.840
This opt-out trend is, I think, rather limited.
00:52:53.440
It is not an option that will be offered for other occasions.
00:52:57.440
We can be fairly certain that DoorDash isn't going to be offering the chance to opt out of Pride Month promotions or, you know, Black History Month spam.
00:53:05.580
It's very unlikely that Levi's or Etsy will send an email that says,
00:53:08.940
We know Pride Month can be an extremely annoying time for you, which is why we want to know if you'd rather not receive Pride Month-related emails.
00:53:16.440
Now, this is something that will only be applied to Mother's Day.
00:53:19.100
It probably won't even extend to Father's Day as well, simply because Father's Day is already mostly ignored.
00:53:23.720
You know, we've kind of opted out of that as a society in general.
00:53:27.960
Mother's Day is the holiday that traditionally gets all the press with a great emphasis on making sure that you shower your mother with gifts and attention and appreciation.
00:53:35.780
Father's Day, on the other hand, is a time to throw a gift bag with a new pair of socks at your dad and say,
00:53:41.080
Hey, Happy Father's Day or whatever, and then move on with your day, which I can say as a dad is how we prefer it.
00:53:47.940
The point is that the opt-out trend will be limited in scope, I think.
00:53:58.020
The working theory among conservatives is that, as we mentioned, it's rooted in this kind of woke, anti-family ideology.
00:54:04.080
The assumption is that it has something to do with the left's doctrines on gender and sexuality.
00:54:08.620
Mother's Day presents a problem for these doctrines, because motherhood presents a problem.
00:54:14.140
And that's why companies are slowly, or not so slowly, backing away from it.
00:54:18.480
But I actually don't think that that's the motivating factor here.
00:54:23.660
Mostly because the left doesn't believe that motherhood presents any problem for them on this front.
00:54:30.900
The gender ideologue doesn't want to abolish Mother's Day, but rather appropriate it.
00:54:36.700
Which ultimately will have the same effect as abolishing it, of course.
00:54:39.560
We simply arrive at that destination from a different direction.
00:54:44.820
That doesn't mean that the Mother's Day opt-out trend isn't woke.
00:54:54.040
NPR has an article on the subject about all these opt-out emails.
00:54:58.460
Many people struggle with Mother's Day and Father's Day for different reasons.
00:55:02.340
Perhaps they've lost parents or children, confronted fertility issues,
00:55:05.560
or they have complicated relationships with family members.
00:55:08.100
As author and grief advocate Megan Devine points out,
00:55:10.740
There are so many ways to lose a mother or to lose mothering.
00:55:17.260
Mother's Day is an occasion of celebration and love for some,
00:55:21.920
It reminds them of grief, infertility issues, or traumatic pasts.
00:55:25.340
Some major brands have started to realize this.
00:55:27.380
DoorDash, Pandora, Mac, KJewelers, and several other companies
00:55:33.420
providing them with the option to stop any sort of Mother's Day branded emails or promotions.
00:55:39.680
What can be a wonderful time for some can be a difficult time for others.
00:55:42.340
Jewelry brand Pandora wrote in an April 2023 email to customers,
00:55:45.520
We completely understand if you'd prefer to opt out.
00:55:47.440
Simply let us know and give us your email and so on.
00:55:49.840
This gesture brings relief to many for whom this day brings grief.
00:55:53.920
As an infertile person who did years of medical treatment to get pregnant,
00:55:59.380
and it's something appreciated by infertility and lost communities,
00:56:02.360
and I imagine by people who have lost parents or have bad relationships with them.
00:56:10.560
Mother's Day is triggering for all the people who have experienced difficulties
00:56:14.640
related to their mothers or motherhood or fertility or childbirth,
00:56:19.360
and somehow a Mother's Day advertisement is traumatic, according to this logic,
00:56:25.800
and yet having to actively opt out of Mother's Day ads for dozens of different brands
00:56:35.420
but the lack of coherence is another hallmark of wokeness.
00:56:41.360
I would think it'd be much more emotionally taxing to go into my inbox
00:56:52.260
asking them not to send me any Mother's Day material because my mother is dead.
00:56:56.700
You know, I think that'd be much more difficult than simply just ignoring the spam,
00:57:02.140
which goes to the spam folder anyway, most of it.
00:57:06.200
Yet, one way or another, Mother's Day will come, and people will celebrate.
00:57:11.440
And yes, if you've lost your mother or if you struggle with fertility
00:57:14.480
or if you have a bad relationship with your mother or whatever else,
00:57:17.880
that celebration may conjure up some difficult emotions for you.
00:57:21.900
But it's not just Mother's Day that will have that effect.
00:57:25.940
When you're struggling with a serious challenge in your life
00:57:28.380
or you're grieving over a loss or experiencing some other kind of deep emotional pain,
00:57:32.320
you'll find a universe suddenly chock full of signs pointing back to those wounds.
00:57:39.100
And this is true when it comes to, you know, very serious traumas like the loss of a loved one.
00:57:44.060
In your grief, you will find reminders of your loss everywhere you go.
00:57:48.480
It's also true of much less severe but still significant pains like financial difficulties.
00:57:53.360
If you've ever had serious money problems, you know that when you have money problems,
00:57:57.900
the world will constantly remind you of your money problems,
00:58:04.480
And even if there is nothing actively reminding you of whatever it is you're struggling with,
00:58:08.540
you still are stuck with your own mind, which is keenly aware of these struggles
00:58:12.560
and constantly turning them over and dwelling on them,
00:58:15.240
no matter what else is going on in the outside world.
00:58:18.300
Wokeness wants to make us fragile by encouraging us to shield ourselves
00:58:25.580
In fact, it tells us that we have the right to be shielded from them,
00:58:28.520
that the world should reorient itself so that we are not forced to think about things
00:58:34.600
The result is that we never learn to live with the hardships.
00:58:38.120
We only learn how to live around them, avoiding them, hiding from them.
00:58:43.120
That's how we become a country full of people who cannot cope with any discomfort,
00:58:51.920
And unfortunately, our society is run by institutions that are eager to provide it,
00:58:55.600
which may make us more comfortable in the moment,
00:58:58.120
but they won't help us become stronger, better-functioning people in the long run.
00:59:02.120
And that is why these companies and their Mother's Day opt-out emails are today canceled.
