The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1157 - Mothers Of 'Trans Kids' Give Insane Reasons For Transitioning Their Children

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, parents of trans kids showed up to testify against a bill banning

00:00:05.020 child mutilation in Louisiana. We'll play the clips of a couple of these parents explaining

00:00:08.340 how they came to understand that their children are trans. The reasons are never good, but in 0.79

00:00:12.900 this case, they're even more insane than usual. You got to hear this. Also, the Navy is using a

00:00:17.080 drag ambassador to recruit his fellow cross-dressers into the military. Bloomberg publishes a profile

00:00:23.300 on the Daily Wire that I think is supposed to be a hit piece, but I kind of enjoyed it, honestly.

00:00:27.300 Plus, Fox News and Media Matters try to smear Tucker Carlson and fail in spectacular fashion.

00:00:32.520 All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:45.740 As the movement against child mutilation continues to grow, two more states are taking up bills that would ban

00:01:51.360 the medical transition of minors. The Texas State House was set to debate the legislation

00:01:55.780 yesterday, but the vote was delayed after a mob of transurrectionists stormed into the Capitol

00:02:00.440 building demanding the right to abuse children. Here's what that looked like.

00:02:04.100 Now, this, of course, is just the latest state Capitol to be invaded by a mob of trans activists, 0.99

00:02:30.300 disrupting legislative process, undermining democracy, leaving behind a stench that lingers

00:02:36.040 for weeks. Things were a bit more peaceful in Louisiana, though, where the Louisiana House

00:02:40.520 Health and Welfare Committee held a hearing to discuss House Bill 463, which would prohibit

00:02:45.840 doctors from sterilizing, castrating, or performing sex change surgeries on children.

00:02:50.760 The hearing was an educational experience in a lot of ways as a number of parents of,

00:02:55.880 quote-unquote, trans kids, testified to the necessity of, quote-unquote, gender-affirming

00:03:01.880 care. At least they intended to show its necessity. But instead, these parents only managed to prove,

00:03:07.500 yet again, how preposterous and irrational the left's position on this issue is. Case in point,

00:03:14.040 here's a woman explaining how she came to discover that her daughter is really her son. And apparently,

00:03:19.500 her daughter's love of vegetables was one of the first clues. Listen.

00:03:24.500 He had anxiety and would never sleep, and we couldn't figure out what the problem was. We took

00:03:29.820 him to specialists and neurologists, and he had brain scans trying to figure out why he couldn't sleep.

00:03:37.220 Um, then, uh, as he grew, he got to sleeping. Um, but his food choices were odd. They were always,

00:03:45.260 like, green vegetables, raw green vegetables, which, if you know kids, most kids don't like to eat those

00:03:51.400 things. Um, and then the precocious puberty. Um, all of those things, once we figured out, uh,

00:04:01.560 that he was transgender, when he came to us and told us, uh, that he was transgender, when we went

00:04:08.480 back and realized that the pattern of everything, um, that he had experienced as a child, including

00:04:16.660 eating green vegetables, because that boosts testosterone, were just methods of his body

00:04:24.360 trying to become who he was meant to be. His brain does not match his physiology.

00:04:33.060 Well, there it is. Who can argue? If your daughter likes to eat celery, then she must be a boy. There's

00:04:37.880 no other explanation. Put some Brussels sprouts on your daughter's plate. If she takes a bite, 0.99

00:04:41.900 it's time to call the sex change surgeon. Of course, by this measuring stick, it would appear that

00:04:45.540 both of my daughters are boys, and, um, my sons are all girls. Because in my experience,

00:04:51.540 boys are far less likely to eat their vegetables. Actually, I must be a female also, and my wife a

00:04:58.060 man. Because if either of us is going to order the salad when we go out to dinner, it's always going

00:05:02.460 to be her. Um, these people are, they're, they're surgically mutilating children based on gender 1.00

00:05:08.780 stereotypes, and they don't even have the stereotypes right. Munchausen Mami also claims that her daughter's 1.00

00:05:15.900 brain, uh, doesn't match her physiology. What she seems to be missing here is that, you know,

00:05:20.840 your daughter's brain is part of her physiology. You might as well claim that her, her left foot 1.00

00:05:27.380 or the pinky finger on her right hand doesn't match her physiology. All of that is her physiology. 1.00

00:05:33.400 How could her physiology not match her physiology? How could her body be a mismatch with her body?

00:05:41.240 It's all her body. You know, her, her brain is an organ in her body. What do you mean it doesn't

00:05:47.760 match? Where do you think brains come from, you lunatic? Do you think children are born without 1.00

00:05:52.940 brains and then the doctor pulls a brain out of a filing cabinet and opens up the skull and plops it

00:05:57.940 in? Is that how the mismatch happens? What do you mean the brain doesn't match the body? What in the

00:06:03.640 world could that possibly mean? Did he pull a brain out of the, the boy file by accident he meant to

00:06:08.800 grab for the girl file? The claim about girls having boy brains and boys having girl brains is

00:06:14.520 scientifically fallacious for many reasons, but we don't even need to talk about the science

00:06:18.120 because it's also logically fallacious. It doesn't make any logical sense. We can't get to the point

00:06:23.260 of talking about the science of it because it has to, there's no logical sense here. The definition

00:06:28.580 of a girl brain is the brain that is inside a girl's head, a brain possessed by a girl. That's a girl 1.00

00:06:37.740 brain. That's what a girl brain is. Every girl has a girl brain by definition. Okay. If she's a girl 1.00

00:06:45.520 and she has a brain, then that's a girl's brain. If it's a brain that belongs to a girl, it's a girl's 1.00

00:06:51.760 brain. Just as my, my right elbow is a man's right elbow. Okay. I have the right elbow of a man.

00:06:58.820 How do I know that? Well, because I'm a man. It can't be anyone else's right elbow. It's mine.

00:07:02.420 It's not the elbow of an Eskimo or a Chinese woman or a spider monkey. It is mine because it's on my 0.66

00:07:08.640 body and I was born with it. Now it is possible to have a body part that isn't, that isn't naturally

00:07:13.740 part of your body, but that can only occur when you undergo some sort of transplant procedure.

00:07:19.280 And we might even get to the point, God forbid, where doctors figure out how to do brain transplants.

00:07:24.420 But for now though, every human brain on earth naturally belongs to the body it is attached to.

00:07:32.780 And again, you can't even say that it's attached to a body or it's in a body. It is part of the body.

00:07:39.060 But notice something. She said that she took her daughter for brain scans,

00:07:44.360 but they couldn't figure it out. You know, they couldn't figure out that she's really a boy until

00:07:50.240 the girl told her parents that she's really a boy. Well, that's interesting. If the girl had a boy

00:07:55.140 brain, why didn't the brain scan pick it up? There's so many things with this now where they

00:08:01.340 claim, well, this and that can be detected, you know, in the brain with brain scans. Well, yeah,

00:08:06.020 but they never do detect these things with brain scans, do they? Why isn't transgenderism diagnosed 0.71

00:08:09.900 through brain scans if a mismatched brain is really the cause? Well, we know why. It's because

00:08:17.640 all of the claims about mismatched brains are bogus and the people making the claims know that

00:08:23.200 they're bogus. It's all smoke and mirrors. It is a weak attempt to lend some kind of scientific

00:08:30.240 credibility to this superstitious nonsense. Later in the hearing, another woman sat down to give her 1.00

00:08:36.380 own testimony, which certainly wasn't any more persuasive. Let's listen to that.

00:08:41.200 And then I, sorry, I was Christmas shopping for them. They were 18 months old and I bought one of

00:08:47.800 those toy tool benches and I was making the joke that, well, when one of them comes to me and says

00:08:53.260 they're a man when they're 18, I can't say I didn't see it coming just because they kind of did draw the

00:08:56.980 boy toys and I was just making a joke. But I am so glad I said it out loud because I have that in my

00:09:02.600 mind now that at 18 months old, something, something somewhere was telling me what he knew

00:09:09.380 all along. Sure. Of course. Okay. Um, but so when he could start talking, he articulated to me that he

00:09:17.160 was a boy, mommy, I'm a boy, mommy, I'm a boy. And both of my kids did mommy, I'm a puppy, all that.

00:09:22.740 It's, it was very different. And we drug our feet on it because what, you know, it's normal to not

00:09:29.740 understand that obviously. Um, so we saw therapists and we saw doctors and ultimately we came to know

00:09:37.880 what he has known all along, which is that he really is a boy. He really is. And I will be

00:09:43.960 starting, um, gender affirming care for him. He's been seeing doctors for years and it is a very long

00:09:50.020 process. They are very thorough. So I'm going to interrupt you just for a second. I'm going to give

00:09:54.180 you a few extra seconds to prove that you can't have it up. Aren't they cute though? Okay.

00:09:59.740 Okay. I'm not, I'm not giving you that much extra. Okay. But full disclosure, uh, this is a slightly

00:10:06.360 older photo because now they are preteens and taking a photo for mom where they both smile is

00:10:10.880 like, nah, that's lame. So, um, so now that he is, uh, almost 11 and starting puberty, we are discussing

00:10:18.740 puberty blockers and what that would do would prevent him from growing the body of a woman because I 0.98

00:10:23.580 promise you he's not a woman. He shouldn't be in a woman's body. And honestly, I don't think he could 1.00

00:10:27.840 survive if we forced him into it. I really don't forced her. You don't want to force her into her

00:10:36.220 own body into what the hell are you even trying to say? How can you force a person into their own

00:10:48.280 body? What, what are you forcing into their body? A person is their body. Okay. They are their body.

00:10:56.840 You are your body. Okay. You don't, you don't have a body. You are your body. It's not like the essence

00:11:05.360 of you exists somewhere apart from your body. And then the you-ness is placed into the body like a

00:11:12.120 hermit crab finding a shell. We are human beings. Okay. We are not aliens from independence day where

00:11:17.760 you can open us up and find a smaller creature staring, steering our bodies around. There is no

00:11:23.740 distinction between your daughter and her body. That's her. That is your daughter. Now I believe

00:11:31.040 in the human soul, which means that we are not merely bodies. We are not merely fresh flesh and bones,

00:11:36.460 humans. But the soul exists in harmony with the body. It is not a pilot operating the body like

00:11:42.200 some kind of machine. Indeed, the only way that this kind of language, this distinction between

00:11:46.800 the person and the body can even start to make some kind of vague sense is if you're taking into

00:11:52.180 account the human soul. But then you would be saying that God accidentally put a boy soul into a

00:11:58.200 girl body and we have to mutilate the body in order to correct God's mistake. But that makes even less 1.00

00:12:04.300 sense. So whether you're considering this from an entirely materialist perspective or a non-materialist

00:12:09.780 perspective, either way, it is illogical, insane, and barbaric. And either way, it remains correct to

00:12:20.000 say that you are your body. That is who you are. And also, by the way, it also remains futile

00:12:28.660 because you can't actually give your daughter a new body. Nothing you do will result in a new body.

00:12:36.300 She is in that body. She is that body. No matter what, there's no changing it. There's no swapping

00:12:42.660 it out for a different model. Okay, you can't trade it in at the body dealership and get a different one.

00:12:50.820 Now, that's it. That's all you get. That's the only body you'll ever have. You can mutilate it.

00:12:58.060 You can damage it. You can suppress its natural functions. But then she won't have a new body at 0.97

00:13:02.480 the end of it. She'll have the same body, just a battered and broken one. But at least this woman 1.00

00:13:08.600 isn't claiming that her daughter's affinity for lettuce and broccoli is what revealed her to be

00:13:12.440 trans. Instead, she's going with the far more standard line that her daughter must be a boy 0.70

00:13:17.640 because she liked to play with boy toys, quote unquote. Her 18-month-old daughter played with

00:13:23.360 a Fisher-Price tool set. And so that means that she's a boy. But hasn't the left been telling us

00:13:29.280 that there is no such thing as a girl toy or a boy toy? And girls can use tools too and do all the 1.00

00:13:36.620 things that boys do and they can like all the things that boys like? Haven't they been saying that to us

00:13:41.940 for decades? Aren't they still saying that to us right now? And yet at the same time,

00:13:47.300 even though there are no boy toys or girl toys and girls can like tools too, at the same time,

00:13:53.040 if a girl does like to play with tools and she does like to play with boy toys, then she's actually 0.99

00:13:57.140 a boy. Which is it, you idiots? Are gender roles meaningless social constructs or are they a 1.00

00:14:03.200 recognition of an inner spiritual reality that's so innate and important that we should physically

00:14:08.240 alter the bodies of children to line up with it? Which is it? It cannot be both. How can it be both?

00:14:13.820 Well, it can be both because logical contradictions don't, you know, bother these people that are not

00:14:21.000 worried about. They're not worried. People who are not worried about being logical don't care

00:14:25.280 about logical contradictions. None of this makes any sense, but it's not meant to. In fact, the

00:14:30.760 irrationality and insanity of gender ideology is part of the point. Speaking of brains, the left demands 0.88

00:14:36.860 that you sacrifice yours on their altar. Utterly abandon your own capacity for reason. Accept the

00:14:43.600 most insane and incoherent claims you've ever heard anyone make in your entire life. Listen to a mother

00:14:48.920 bragging about sterilizing her own child and justifying it with bizarre, unintelligible arguments

00:14:55.340 and applaud her. That's what's demanded of you. Give up your mind and your soul and also your child.

00:15:03.060 And in exchange, you'll get nothing. Not the most tempting offer in the world, I would say,

00:15:09.300 and one that we should all readily reject. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:15:20.720 The attack on masculinity is no secret. Mainstream media demonizes normal heterosexual and masculine men

00:15:26.920 while promoting non-masculine behavior and gender fluidity. Anybody who dares to speak out is quickly 0.87

00:15:31.420 labeled a homophobe, sexist, misogynist, and then silenced. Notably, there are studies coming out

00:15:37.120 that show testosterone levels have been declining for decades with a 17% drop among 60-year-olds in

00:15:42.280 2004 compared to 1987. Researchers call these changes alarming, to say the least, and that's

00:16:17.760 All right, we'll begin with the New York Post. It has this article,

00:16:22.220 the U.S. Navy invited an active-duty drag queen to be a digital ambassador as part of a recent drive

00:16:28.100 to attract the most talented and diverse workforce and combat plunging recruitments. Yeoman second

00:16:34.560 class Joshua Kelly, who identifies as non-binary, was appointed as the first of five Navy digital

00:16:40.240 ambassadors in a pilot program that ran from October to March. Kelly, whose stage name is Harpy Daniels,

00:16:46.680 has shared their journey on TikTok and Instagram, where they described how they began performing

00:16:53.160 on board and became an advocate for people who were oppressed for years in the service.

00:16:59.220 Kelly wrote on Instagram,

00:17:00.640 From joining to 2016 and being able to share my drag experience on my off time with my fellow

00:17:07.040 sailors has been a blessing. Thank you to the Navy for giving me this opportunity. I don't speak for

00:17:12.940 the Navy, but simply sharing my experience in the Navy. Uh, hoo-yah and let's go slay. 0.95

00:17:20.780 They, they, they added, you know, we're using the they pronoun because this is, uh, it's two people,

00:17:27.220 right? It's, uh, it's this individual and then also the drag persona. It's like two split personalities

00:17:33.320 as we have to refer to them, to this individual as two people. Um, there's also this video, if you're,

00:17:38.960 if you're wondering what this, uh, drag ambassador is all about, the website now of this put together

00:17:43.980 a video of this. Let's check that out.

00:18:02.200 All right. So you see them dressed up in drag there. 0.96

00:18:03.960 Terrifying our enemies.

00:18:10.880 I'm telling you something, China, China is looking at this and saying, we can't mess with these guys

00:18:15.220 and girls and theys.

00:18:24.300 Oh, your lip syncs too.

00:18:27.980 Good. All right.

00:18:30.420 Go ahead and pause that.

00:18:31.380 Um, so this is, this is what, this is what our actual, uh, global adversaries. This is what

00:18:39.880 they're looking at. You know, it's, it's, uh, it's a scary thing to think about. We might like

00:18:44.340 to think that this is all in house, but, uh, but you know, China has access to the internet as well.

00:18:50.820 At least the government officials do. I don't know so much about the, uh, people that the actual

00:18:55.500 citizens, um, very much restricted, but so they can see this.

00:18:59.480 And they can see that we're filling the military with, uh, cross-dressers and we're, um, trying to 1.00

00:19:05.600 recruit based on a desire for diversity and expressing yourself. You know, we always have to,

00:19:11.500 we have to, uh, continually remember that this is all the opposite of what the military has always

00:19:20.600 been. And not, not only our military, but what the military in general, as a concept globally,

00:19:28.040 worldwide, and through history, it's the opposite of what that's always been. Because historically,

00:19:33.320 um, the emphasis in the middle of the, if you're in the military, emphasize a few things. The first

00:19:39.560 one is effectively killing the bad guys, killing the enemy. Uh, and that, that's the most important 0.99

00:19:45.420 thing. But how do you achieve that? You achieve that by being, um, a unit, you know, by, by really

00:19:52.340 suppressing your individual, uh, priorities and desires and, uh, wishes to express yourself

00:20:00.440 and instead being part of a team, being part of a unit, being uniform. That, that's why you,

00:20:08.980 when you're in the military, you wear a uniform. Um, and everything is, it's a hierarchy and there

00:20:15.620 are rankings and there, you know, and, and, and you have to, things like obedience and discipline,

00:20:21.300 these things are all emphasized.

00:20:22.760 And the reason why that's been emphasized in the military historically is not just because we want

00:20:30.020 to be mean to people, but because that's what's required if you want to go out and effectively

00:20:37.840 engage with the enemy. And really there is no, we keep hearing about the plunging recruitment rates

00:20:46.340 and that's not a problem that's going to, this is not going to reverse that problem.

00:20:50.820 It's just not going to because the vast majority of the people who are interested in whatever the

00:20:58.060 hell this is, um, they're not going to go to the military for that. If, if, if, uh, being around

00:21:03.620 drag queens is really important to you, if you're, or if you're a cross-dresser yourself and you want

00:21:06.780 to cross-dress and, and express yourself and be applauded for it. Yeah, maybe unfortunately you can 0.92

00:21:12.980 do that in the military now, but if that is what your priority is in life, why would you go to the

00:21:18.500 military? I mean, the military can try its best, uh, to change the culture, destroy the culture of

00:21:26.300 the military to, uh, to emulate, imitate, um, what we find in the general broader culture could try its

00:21:37.760 best to imitate that, but it'll only ever be an imitation. And so if you're the type that is into

00:21:44.840 this and you're, you know, around the age when people typically join the military and you're

00:21:51.000 thinking to yourself, well, you know, really into cross-dressing, uh, I really care about diversity

00:21:55.640 and being around a lot of, uh, a lot of, uh, degenerate types, where am I going to go in life?

00:22:02.080 You're probably not going to say, well, I'll go to the military.

00:22:03.880 There really is no way to recruit, uh, consistently and reliably and keep the military strong without

00:22:14.680 appealing to masculinity. You know, this is a, that's, they could try all these other ways of

00:22:21.980 recruiting. None of it works. The only thing that consistently works is by trying to appeal to men, 0.52

00:22:28.540 to young men, to appeal to their, their sense of duty, their sense of honor, their sense of patriotism.

00:22:36.560 All of these things now, of course, dwindling away, especially in the younger generations,

00:22:40.000 which is a big part of the problem, but there's no way around it. And also appealing to their,

00:22:45.560 uh, at an even kind of baser level at a more fundamental level, just their, their masculine

00:22:51.180 energy, their masculine aggressiveness, um, channeling, you know, the military has always

00:23:00.480 been a way to channel male aggressiveness and violence in a productive and not just productive,

00:23:08.600 but a noble and courageous way. Okay. We've talked about this before. We talked about this in,

00:23:14.500 in relation to sports and football. You know, this, this is my defense of football, even though

00:23:19.160 football's a violent sport and kids can even get injured and sometimes seriously. So there's a risk

00:23:23.380 involved, but it's, it's important to have it. Sports, uh, serve an important function in society,

00:23:31.040 especially these kinds of violent kind of combat type sports. Uh, we need to have these if for no

00:23:38.080 other reason than as a, another mechanism for men and young boy, young men, uh, and boys to channel

00:23:47.560 that masculine energy and aggressiveness. Okay. Because there is, again, especially among young

00:23:55.840 men, a desire, there's a desire, desire to engage in violence, a desire, you know, that's why these

00:24:03.600 things are appealing. You want to go out and hit somebody and there's nothing wrong with that in

00:24:08.660 and of itself, as long as it's channeled in the right way. And on the football field, it's channeled

00:24:14.460 towards, you know, it's all about the team. It's about winning. It's about, you know, and again,

00:24:18.340 it's not about the individual and the military, it's an even higher calling of, uh, it's not a game

00:24:24.540 anymore. It's about protecting your nation. It's about patriotism. And that has to be that, that

00:24:30.600 ultimately has to be the pitch really for the military. And if it's not, if you're trying to

00:24:36.760 recruit based on feminine, uh, appealing to people's feminine instincts, uh, it's, it's not 1.00

00:24:44.300 going to work. All right. Bloomberg has a lengthy profile of the daily wire and especially of,

00:24:54.720 of Jeremy, um, that was just published today. And I didn't even know that this thing was coming out,

00:24:59.680 but you know, of course there's a lot of stuff, daily wire, Ben Shapiro, Jeremy boring, but I,

00:25:07.360 you know, I pulled the article I'm scanning through where, where am I in this article? And so I have

00:25:12.940 to say that, um, this is a, I don't think it's intended. In fact, I know it's not intended,

00:25:18.500 but in this Bloomberg article, this is a ringing endorsement, um, of, of me. I, I, I really am quite

00:25:25.540 flattered by it. The, uh, the title is the headline is the company behind Ben Shapiro is trying to build

00:25:30.520 a right-wing magic kingdom. The daily wire has ridden culture war outrage and transphobia into

00:25:36.200 a breakout media business. Now it's sites are set on entertainment and an entire alternate, uh,

00:25:42.680 alternative economy. And that's all well and good, but I did especially enjoy this part says

00:25:51.000 talking about the different, uh, aside from Ben Shapiro, who are the other

00:25:55.140 hosts, the other talent on the daily wire. And it says there's Candace Owens, a black star of the

00:26:01.540 MAGA set who's referred to the January 6th insurrection as obviously a fed operation,

00:26:06.560 of course, uh, and flirted with antisemitism. Michael Knowles, a cigar smoking would be actor

00:26:13.660 has argued that same sex adoption is a terrible idea and lately achieved dubious fame for saying

00:26:19.160 that transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely. His attacks, however, 1.00

00:26:24.180 pale in comparison to those of Matt Walsh, who has called trans people, quote, mutilated,

00:26:29.760 mutant, self-loathing, hollow, twisted shells, and notes in his Twitter bio that he was named

00:26:34.920 transphobe of the year by the new Republic in 2022. So I don't mean to brag. I don't want to gloat. 0.96

00:26:42.360 I'm not going to gloat, you know, to, to Michael about this, but he's a tax pale in comparison. I'm not

00:26:47.180 going to gloat about it. I'm not going to brag about it, but that's what they said. Uh, and then I also

00:26:51.680 enjoyed this part here, skimming through a bunch of other stuff. Uh, yada, yada, not about me,

00:26:56.780 not about me. Okay. Here's this, a $100 million investment in children's programming also meant

00:27:01.660 parents would no longer have to worry about their children getting indoctrinated by Disney plus

00:27:05.400 whose entertainment teaches your daughter that she's a boy. Boring set an event last June. So

00:27:09.340 we're talking about the children's content that'll be coming soon. Uh, the company's,

00:27:12.760 the company's children's book, Johnny, the Walrus Walsh is unsubtle anti-trans allegory about a boy

00:27:17.840 who pretends to pretends he's a sea animal and whose mom comes under pressure from activists

00:27:22.020 to make it surgically permanent at already topped the amazon.com bestseller list in the spring of

00:27:26.840 2022. First of all, I just want to say, I don't know what you're even talking about. Um, anti-trans

00:27:32.140 allegory. I mean, it's literally a book about a young boy who's, who's, you know, a walrus deep inside.

00:27:41.040 That's what the book's about. So I don't know what you're even talking about, frankly. Um,

00:27:46.540 quote, this is causing unimaginable trauma to Amazon, Amazon's woke employees. And I couldn't

00:27:52.400 be happier. Walsh gleefully tweeted at the time, Jason Campbell, a senior researcher at left-leaning

00:27:57.660 media watchdog and frequent daily wire critic media matters says, quote, this is, this is it. This is,

00:28:03.480 so this is another, this is the other thing I'm going to add to my trophy set along with transfer

00:28:07.400 of the year. When it comes to anti-trans rhetoric and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric in general, it is really hard

00:28:14.040 for me to think of anyone else who is more important in setting that narrative than Matt

00:28:18.980 Walsh. Then he goes on to talk about how, uh, you know, I'm scaring other people away from joining

00:28:24.420 the company because I'm such a bad guy. Anyway, um, that's not, uh, first of all, that's not,

00:28:29.460 I'm not scaring them away from joining the company. I have apparently scared at least one person away

00:28:33.040 who was already in the company and they left. But, uh, other than that, I think it's been fine.

00:28:37.000 Um, this is, this is good though. This is like, uh, this is what media matters does. And we're

00:28:43.400 going to talk in the daily cancellation about their latest attacks on Tucker Carlson. Um, but they have

00:28:49.940 this way of, they, they all, it's, it's a skill really. Well, they, they always can highlight and

00:28:57.160 focus in on the parts, um, that are really the least embarrassing to us because things are going to

00:29:05.780 make us look the best. And they focus in on those parts and then announce that to the world as if

00:29:13.240 like, what do you think? So you say this, if you're Jason Campbell, Matt Walsh, most important in

00:29:19.800 setting anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric in general. Do you think, well, how do you think I'm

00:29:24.640 going to react to that? You think I'm going to read that and say, well, that's how dare you? Well, I never,

00:29:29.920 um, no, I don't, I think at this point they're smart enough to realize that, uh, they don't offend

00:29:37.440 us at all with these attacks. Um, they're also not scaring away any of our supporters, quite the

00:29:43.280 opposite. So they, you know, it exists just as fodder for people who hate us already, uh, which is

00:29:50.420 fine. All right. Great article there. Um, I think it's supposed to be sort of a hit piece, but

00:29:56.440 I liked it. I enjoyed it. Let's see. This is from, uh, Daily Wire news out of Utah.

00:30:05.100 Pornography giant Pornhub has blocked all residents of Utah from accessing its content

00:30:09.900 a day before a state law goes into effect that will allow websites to be sued if they enabled,

00:30:14.620 uh, enable minors to view their videos. A Utah bill called online pornography viewing age requirements

00:30:21.260 was passed unanimously by both chambers and signed into law in March by governor Spencer Cox goes into

00:30:28.000 effect on Wednesday. The law says that sites shall be held liable if the entity fails to perform

00:30:31.820 reasonable age verification methods to verify the age of an individual attempting to access the

00:30:36.000 material. But the bill also discusses a digitized identification card connected to a state approved

00:30:41.120 application, which the adult industry says doesn't exist. The bill says as an alternative to a state

00:30:47.200 digital ID sites can use any reasonable message mess method that relies on public or private

00:30:52.940 transactional data or data available from a commercially available database to verify someone's

00:30:58.140 age and identity. On Tuesday, Alison Bowden of the free speech coalition, which represents the adult

00:31:05.020 industry wrote to the bill States Senate sponsor, Todd Wheeler that quote, despite consulting over a dozen

00:31:11.280 lawyers, I must admit I'm stumped. The law is so vague and the requirements for compliance. So

00:31:15.080 contradictory. I cannot figure out how FSC members can follow this law.

00:31:22.560 Well, that's your problem. You know, that's a, yeah, it's trying to figure out a way to reliably

00:31:28.500 verify the ages of people who are viewing hardcore internet porn. It's there, there are some, it's not

00:31:36.840 impossible. It's easier than they're making it out to be. And there, there are plenty of other kinds of

00:31:43.560 websites that do this and do it reliably. And nobody panics over it or says it's some sort of attack on free

00:31:50.340 speech. If you want to go and gamble online, for example, you're going to have to verify your age.

00:31:57.320 Even, even going to a, the website, like an alcohol company's website requires age

00:32:03.540 verification. Now, in that case, it's going to be something that anyone could get around where you just have to put

00:32:07.980 your birth date in. But the point is even the alcohol sites require at least that much.

00:32:14.900 Whereas the porn sites don't even have that. Pornhub doesn't even have that. They don't even make that effort.

00:32:21.800 But a lot more can be done just like they do with the gambling sites to, to verify your age. It is not

00:32:27.300 impossible. Maybe there are some technical issues that come along that have to be worked out. But my

00:32:32.260 point is that, that that's, that's your problem. If you're in the porn industry, that's a problem you

00:32:38.360 have created. So your decision to put this kind of content on the internet creates a problem

00:32:46.140 that you have to fix. So I don't think that it's up to any, to any, to us to fix it.

00:32:52.220 You can't put a bunch of hardcore internet porn on the internet and then say, you know, and then we say,

00:32:57.700 well, we can't let kids see this. And then you say, well, that's your problem. You have to figure it

00:33:01.160 out. No, no, no. It's not our problem. It's your problem. You're the one who put it there.

00:33:05.320 What do you mean? We have to figure that out. Well, if you can't figure out how to stop kids

00:33:09.180 from watching it, I guess you can't put it on the internet. Take it down. God forbid.

00:33:14.380 You know, if it actually is true, yeah, as you know, I'm in, I'm in favor of, uh, of banning

00:33:20.580 this stuff entirely, but I think it's a good idea to start with these basic, before we even get there,

00:33:27.740 it's kind of like what the, the trans conversation and gender, uh, transitioning before we get to the

00:33:34.280 broader point. Uh, I think it makes sense to start with at least protecting kids from this.

00:33:39.460 And that means requiring putting the same kinds of restrictions in place on the, on the internet

00:33:47.240 porn business that are in place for any other kind of business that sells or distributes, um,

00:33:54.440 items, material that's, that's not suitable for kids. Okay. And alcohol, tobacco products,

00:34:02.860 firearms, all these cases. And even as I pointed out many times, even physical porn, if anyone still

00:34:13.700 uses that, you know, it's, it's, I don't even know if they still sell porn magazines at the gas station.

00:34:18.020 Well, if they did have a, if that did still exist somewhere, um, and you wanted to buy it,

00:34:24.040 you'd have to present your ID. So that's the way it works. And yet with internet porn exclusively,

00:34:31.360 this, this huge exception has been carved out where we say, oh no, they don't have to verify all

00:34:38.060 these other industries have to verify ages, but you don't. But, but if we made them do it,

00:34:41.000 that would be terrible. That'd be awful for them. Well, I don't buy that at all. But my point is that

00:34:46.840 if I think that it's possible to put age restrictions in place that will prevent,

00:34:55.760 um, a large number of kids from seeing this. I can prevent all of them. It's not gonna protect

00:34:59.980 all the kids, but there are things that can be done that will protect a large number of kids,

00:35:04.660 I think. But if you argue that it's not even possible that it can't be done. Okay. All this

00:35:13.360 degenerate, disgusting filth that we know damages kids, damages, it has real effects on their brains, 0.92

00:35:22.820 on their minds as they grow. And if, if you're correct, that it's not even, it's not possible

00:35:29.540 to put any kind of restrictions in place that will, um, stop them from seeing it. Well, you know what?

00:35:34.460 That's an argument for banning porn outright. Because if it's not even possible to protect

00:35:40.780 kids from it, as long as it's on the internet, well, then I guess it shouldn't be on the internet.

00:35:46.100 That, that, that, and now you have actually made the most compelling argument for banning all of it

00:35:52.000 entirely. And maybe that should, maybe that should be our argument. So it's like, it, it,

00:35:58.540 it behooves you if you're a porn enthusiast, um, or if you're a, uh, someone who's involved in the

00:36:06.540 porn industry, it behooves you to figure out a way to keep this filth away from kids. Because if you 0.61

00:36:14.920 can't figure it out, the next step is that it's all banned. And, and then, uh, and then anyone involved

00:36:23.300 in Pornhub goes to prison. How about that? Again, I, I'd be, I would be fine with just like skipping

00:36:30.360 right to that part. But if we're not, then, uh, then I think this is a reasonable compromise.

00:36:37.740 Figure out a way to protect kids from this disgusting filth that you choose to distribute,

00:36:44.280 figure it out, or we get rid of all of it. Criminalize all of it. 0.76

00:36:49.900 Um, extremely reasonable compromise. Here's something not as reasonable. This is a video

00:36:56.500 that has, uh, gone viral. Um, and it's, it's interesting because there's debate about who is

00:37:03.920 in the wrong and who's in the right, who's the bad guy here. Um, and it shows it's a, it's a dispute

00:37:09.920 between a cyclist and, uh, uh, people in a car who are blocking the bike lane. And, uh, this is what

00:37:18.680 people are arguing about on the internet today. It's very important stuff. Let's watch a little

00:37:21.480 bit of this. Hello, please move.

00:37:31.360 Please move. You're in the bike lane and blocking the sidewalk here.

00:37:36.380 Hi. Yeah. You're blocking the curb cut here.

00:37:39.020 Why are you touching my car, bruh?

00:37:40.220 Because you're in my space. Public space.

00:37:42.500 Don't touch my car, bruh. 0.98

00:37:43.080 Okay, move then.

00:37:44.020 Don't touch my car, bruh. 0.98

00:37:45.020 Okay. 0.99

00:37:45.520 Bruh, what the f*** are you doing, bruh? 0.99

00:37:47.280 Please move. 0.99

00:37:47.820 I want you to police or something?

00:37:48.840 No, I'm trying.

00:37:49.880 Don't touch my car no more then, bruh. 1.00

00:37:51.520 You tripping like s***. 1.00

00:37:52.960 What the f*** is wrong with you, boy? 1.00

00:37:54.980 Bruh, you laughing like, hey, bruh. 0.99

00:37:57.240 Hey, bro. Real loud, bruh.

00:37:58.820 Check that s*** out, bruh. 1.00

00:37:59.960 Don't touch my s*** no more. 0.99

00:38:01.260 I don't give a s*** about none of that. 1.00

00:38:04.740 I bet you won't touch it no more. 0.81

00:38:06.620 I bet you won't touch it no more.

00:38:08.180 Yeah.

00:38:08.720 I know, I know, I know, I know.

00:38:10.880 I bet you won't touch it no more.

00:38:12.540 I'll just be annoying then.

00:38:13.840 I bet you won't touch it no more. 0.99

00:38:14.820 Just don't touch my s*** no more. 0.99

00:38:15.840 Get in the car, watch that. 1.00

00:38:16.860 You'll be annoying, but don't, don't, don't, don't ride up in my s*** and touch it. 0.99

00:38:21.080 You're in, you're in public space. 0.99

00:38:22.900 You just rolled up and did like this. 0.99

00:38:24.640 Because this s*** boy came. 1.00

00:38:25.680 We're working. 0.98

00:38:26.480 The s*** you gonna do about it? 0.97

00:38:27.560 I don't really care. 0.98

00:38:28.380 The s*** you gonna do about it? 0.99

00:38:29.560 What? 0.99

00:38:29.780 You want to get my s***? 1.00

00:38:30.480 The s*** what? 0.99

00:38:30.980 What? 0.99

00:38:31.080 You catch my car, right?

00:38:33.000 Right? 0.99

00:38:34.000 Get the s***. 0.99

00:38:34.920 Move. 0.99

00:38:35.320 Just come on.

00:38:36.680 Come on.

00:38:37.320 Hey, ho. 0.69

00:38:37.800 For real, bro.

00:38:38.380 What are you doing too much?

00:38:39.260 Why are you doing all that?

00:38:40.120 Come on.

00:38:40.480 Because it's not true. 0.98

00:38:41.500 Man, I don't give a s***. 0.96

00:38:42.620 I'm working. 0.97

00:38:43.000 A heated, but I would also say quite eloquent discussion between all these individuals.

00:38:52.520 You did notice at the end there, this, like just a little pro tip, if you are involved

00:39:01.340 in a heated dispute with a stranger in public, and they go back to their car and reach into

00:39:07.200 it and then place something in their waistband, that's a good time to leave. 1.00

00:39:13.440 That's a good time to stop the argument, especially if it's over something as stupid as a bike 1.00

00:39:17.380 lane. 1.00

00:39:18.500 Now, I believe that sometimes you gotta stand your ground, but are you gonna die over the

00:39:24.600 bike lane?

00:39:25.360 Is this where we're at with cyclists?

00:39:26.560 You're gonna die over it? 0.98

00:39:27.860 Are you gonna die? 0.98

00:39:28.760 Are you gonna be a martyr for the bike lane? 0.96

00:39:31.340 Who's prepared?

00:39:33.720 Who's prepared?

00:39:34.200 Who's ready to die right then and there?

00:39:36.160 So this is what's so confusing for me.

00:39:37.440 I can't figure out who I hate the most in this argument because, I mean, really the answer

00:39:44.060 is they're all the bad guys.

00:39:44.960 There's no good guy here.

00:39:46.000 Everyone involved. 0.98

00:39:47.300 They're all terrible.

00:39:49.840 And there's, you know, and you know how I feel about cyclists.

00:39:52.440 You know how I feel about bike lanes.

00:39:53.840 It's the whole idea that we've put a separate lane for your bicycle, for your toy.

00:40:00.180 Because that's what a bicycle is.

00:40:01.620 It's a toy.

00:40:02.320 It's recreation.

00:40:03.560 That's what it is.

00:40:04.660 I have no problem with, if you want to play with your toy.

00:40:07.800 Um, but if we're gonna have bike lanes, we might as well have, you know, um, uh, lanes

00:40:15.560 for any other, that's, that's what it is.

00:40:17.460 It's a, it's the, it's the toy lane in the middle, right on the side of the road.

00:40:22.020 Um, so you know how I feel about that.

00:40:24.480 On the other hand, the fact that, like, I respect conviction, even if the conviction

00:40:30.340 is ridiculous, I can, I can respect it. 0.90

00:40:33.380 If you stand by it, the fact that he was ready to be shot to death right then and there in 0.98

00:40:40.760 order to defend the bike lane, I have a weird begrudging respect for it.

00:40:45.300 Um, and then the other people were, then they get into the, I don't even can't remember if

00:40:49.960 we heard it there, but at some point in the video, they get into the anti-white stuff and

00:40:53.400 they call them a white, this and that.

00:40:54.640 And, uh, so we know that, you know, reverse the situation there and you've got white people 0.73

00:40:59.540 saying this to black person.

00:41:01.140 We know that they're going to be canceled and their lives destroyed for, for, uh, being 0.99

00:41:04.400 racist.

00:41:04.940 So, so it can't be on their side either.

00:41:08.300 Um, although, you know, sometimes you gotta, I've, I've been through this in the city many

00:41:12.160 times where you got to pull over to the side of the road real quick and, uh, and there's

00:41:15.940 a bike lane there, but okay, I got, here's the car.

00:41:20.100 I don't care what the law says about this.

00:41:22.680 All right.

00:41:23.400 The car takes priority on the road always.

00:41:27.340 So I will drive my car right in the bike lane and you better get out of the way. 1.00

00:41:31.960 It's a road and I'm in a car.

00:41:34.600 So I, it will take priority period.

00:41:37.420 If I need to pull over to the side of the road, I don't care what my reason is.

00:41:41.500 Maybe I need to pull over to the side of the road because I want to, I want to scroll Twitter

00:41:44.440 for five minutes.

00:41:45.600 I'm going to do it right in the middle of the bike lane.

00:41:47.220 And I have, because I don't respect the existence of the bike lane.

00:41:52.280 I reject it in principle.

00:41:55.300 Go around the car.

00:41:56.380 That's your problem.

00:41:58.580 Well, we can't go on the sidewalk. 0.93

00:42:00.300 Well, yeah, you're damn right. 0.86

00:42:01.200 You can't go to the sidewalk. 0.86

00:42:01.780 Cause you know what the sidewalk is for?

00:42:02.560 The sidewalk is for walking.

00:42:04.500 So we're at an impasse, I guess.

00:42:05.860 The sidewalk is for people who are walking.

00:42:07.860 The roads are for driving.

00:42:09.400 You say, well, where do I, where do I play with my toy, my bicycle?

00:42:13.340 I don't know.

00:42:15.320 I don't, I really don't know.

00:42:16.500 Go to the park, go to the park with your bicycle, go in your driveway.

00:42:20.380 So my kids do, they ride in little circles in the driveway.

00:42:24.160 So why don't you do that?

00:42:25.240 Ride in little circles in the driveway.

00:42:28.420 And then we all can be happy.

00:42:31.420 Let's get to the comment section.

00:42:33.560 Do you know their name?

00:42:36.720 They're the sweet baby gang.

00:42:40.940 Going to the comments.

00:42:42.360 BZ says, as someone who believes in virgin women in the Middle East 2,000 years ago,

00:42:46.980 being impregnated by a ghost, you probably shouldn't talk about biology.

00:42:51.800 You see, that's a belief in the supernatural.

00:42:54.220 It's a belief in a supernatural event.

00:42:57.060 Okay.

00:42:57.360 No one is claiming that this is something that happens naturally by a physical process.

00:43:02.920 It's quite openly, you know, if you're religious, if you're a Christian, as I am, then you believe

00:43:09.580 in the existence of the supernatural, which is something above and beyond nature.

00:43:13.060 And we don't hide from that.

00:43:14.420 That's what it is.

00:43:15.540 Not ashamed of it.

00:43:16.880 My question to you is, are you admitting that transgenderism is a supernatural belief?

00:43:21.760 Because that's what it is.

00:43:24.020 It's an incorrect supernatural belief.

00:43:27.640 And even on supernatural grounds, it's incoherent.

00:43:31.420 But if we could get to the point where at least you people will admit that that's what this is,

00:43:36.760 that this is not science, it's not even attempting to be science,

00:43:39.860 it's not any kind of claim about the natural human body,

00:43:43.200 it is a supernatural, it is faith in the supernatural.

00:43:48.260 It is a religious doctrine.

00:43:51.760 Sounds like that's what you are accidentally conceding.

00:43:56.680 And I think that if you're conceding that, then we're making progress finally.

00:44:01.860 Because now we've gotten, now we all understand what sort of playing field we're operating on.

00:44:07.760 Amanda says, Matt, I am one of the Disney adults you talk about.

00:44:14.020 I'm a dual major, astrophysics and biology.

00:44:16.560 I'm a Navy veteran.

00:44:17.580 I'm not mentally ill, unintelligent, or immature.

00:44:20.440 A little bit of magic once in a while makes the ugliness of the world manageable.

00:44:25.420 Well, Amanda, I don't, I mean, no disrespect to you whatsoever.

00:44:29.200 And I'm sure you're a wonderful person and intelligent.

00:44:31.540 But, look, all I'm trying to do is work through this problem.

00:44:38.180 I'm trying to figure out why an adult human being who doesn't even have any kids

00:44:43.560 would choose to go to Disney World with their time off in the heat, in the humidity,

00:44:49.640 waiting in lines, sifting through crowds of tourists,

00:44:54.820 eating really expensive but bad food.

00:45:01.720 I'm trying to figure out why you would want to do that.

00:45:04.320 And I'm not saying I have all the answers to this.

00:45:06.720 I'm not saying that I've cracked, this is a mystery that philosophers have debated for millennia.

00:45:12.780 I'm not saying that I have come to the exactly correct answer. 0.99

00:45:17.780 All I'm saying is that one potential theory is that you're all mentally ill. 0.98

00:45:21.280 And if you are, then, Amanda, then I want you to get help. 0.98

00:45:25.760 I want this to be diagnosed.

00:45:27.080 I want you to be able to get counseling.

00:45:29.200 I'm not a big advocate for psychiatric drugs,

00:45:31.780 but I think there could be a place for that in this case.

00:45:34.160 And so I'm concerned about you, and that's it.

00:45:36.580 It's not, you know, there's no reason to be offended by it. 0.88

00:45:39.960 Just because I'm saying that your favorite recreation is a sign of mental illness,

00:45:43.440 I don't see that as an insult, really.

00:45:46.060 I see that as a potential medical diagnosis.

00:45:51.280 That's all.

00:45:54.360 Glad we could clear that up.

00:45:58.460 Another comment says,

00:45:59.260 My parents let me play video games when I was growing up,

00:46:01.320 but they also made sure to limit my screen time,

00:46:02.960 and they would only let me play after finishing all my homework and chores.

00:46:05.260 To balance that out, I would also engage with my family

00:46:07.220 or go backpacking with my Boy Scout troop.

00:46:12.480 Yeah, I think that's fine.

00:46:13.780 Someone else said, Maria says,

00:46:18.700 I was only able to catch the second half of your show today.

00:46:20.720 Great daily cancellation segment.

00:46:22.160 We do let our kids play the Nintendo Switch nonviolent games once a week after school work and chores.

00:46:27.240 I think it's one of the many ways to teach self-control.

00:46:30.420 Yeah, no problem with that.

00:46:31.420 You're letting them play games that are appropriate.

00:46:34.380 You are severely limiting and moderating the amount of time they spend on the devices.

00:46:38.840 And I don't see an issue with that.

00:46:43.180 As I said yesterday, I'm not claiming there's something inherent to video games themselves

00:46:49.240 that no matter how much time you spend playing them or what the game is,

00:46:53.040 it's going to be damaging to a child.

00:46:55.900 The issue is if the content is not appropriate,

00:47:01.100 and there are people, as absurd as it may seem to you,

00:47:04.300 actually Mariah, I believe,

00:47:06.220 as absurd as it may seem to you, Mariah, and to me,

00:47:08.660 there are people out there who will just categorically reject the idea

00:47:12.540 that there can even be inappropriate content for kids in video games.

00:47:17.220 And I know that that exists because any time I've tried to discuss the problem of exposing kids to violent video games,

00:47:24.220 there are plenty of people who get outraged by the discussion of it.

00:47:27.760 They don't even want to acknowledge that there may be violent content that's not appropriate for kids,

00:47:34.920 which is absurd because when it comes to movies and shows, we would all agree.

00:47:39.900 There are plenty of parents who will let their kids be exposed to movies and shows that are not appropriate,

00:47:43.120 but we all agree in principle that there are things.

00:47:46.540 I mean, some torture porn, violent movie like the old Saw franchise or something,

00:47:54.380 clearly you would not sit your seven-year-old down to watch that. 0.99

00:47:56.680 And if you do, you're an insane parent. 0.80

00:48:00.040 And we would all agree with that, but on video games,

00:48:01.960 there's this exception people try to make, and it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

00:48:04.500 Jeff says, Matt, I think your points about video games are reasonable,

00:48:10.240 but I still can't get behind your claim that all superheroes slash comic movies slash shows are childish.

00:48:16.860 It's not my claim.

00:48:18.120 You know, ever since this conversation was reignited a couple days ago,

00:48:21.800 and I still haven't figured out who, why exactly,

00:48:24.740 but I've seen all these caricatures of my views,

00:48:28.900 and it went beyond video games, and now it's, oh, Matt Walsh says that all superhero,

00:48:34.260 superheroes or any adult that watches any of that ever is childish.

00:48:38.980 Someone today said that I dismiss films as childish,

00:48:45.020 so I'm apparently against films as a category.

00:48:48.180 I don't think you should watch any movies at all, is the claim that I encountered.

00:48:53.500 Meanwhile, I have made a film, okay?

00:48:55.640 I'm actually a filmmaker, so I clearly am okay with the idea of films,

00:49:00.680 and I think that they can be actually a very powerful tool, a very powerful art form.

00:49:06.180 So none of that is correct.

00:49:08.880 When it comes to superhero stuff,

00:49:12.660 my primary criticism of it,

00:49:15.080 and I think I'm pretty clear about this,

00:49:16.340 my primary criticism of a lot of these superhero films

00:49:19.540 is not that they're childish, it's that they're lifeless.

00:49:23.500 It's that they're empty.

00:49:25.520 I think that Martin Scorsese's observation that they are theme park rides,

00:49:30.640 I think is how we put it,

00:49:32.100 I would agree with that.

00:49:34.440 You know, that's what they are.

00:49:36.040 They're just kind of like, there's nothing there.

00:49:38.080 There's no real art to it.

00:49:38.840 It's not cinema for most of these films.

00:49:42.380 So no, it's not childish.

00:49:43.600 If something is lifeless and empty and has no real charm, no beauty, no depth at all,

00:49:52.980 I wouldn't call that childish.

00:49:56.380 As I've said, I don't want to expose my kids to that kind of,

00:50:00.360 not because it's inappropriate,

00:50:02.140 but if it's just nothing,

00:50:03.480 if it's just noises and sounds and lights,

00:50:06.540 I wouldn't limit my kids' exposure to that

00:50:09.360 because it's not good for their brain.

00:50:12.060 It doesn't help them develop.

00:50:13.920 I'd rather expose them to

00:50:15.820 art that is a little bit more depth than that.

00:50:19.800 So that's what a lot of these superhero franchises have become.

00:50:23.260 You know, the Marvel stuff,

00:50:24.700 it's all franchise,

00:50:25.940 it all exists to sell toys,

00:50:27.460 it's the only reason that it's there.

00:50:29.780 It only exists,

00:50:31.000 the only reason they keep making the films

00:50:32.060 is because they make a billion dollars.

00:50:33.200 And, yeah, of course,

00:50:35.260 it's not a big revelation that movie studios want to make money,

00:50:38.560 but my point is that

00:50:39.300 there's nobody involved in these films anymore

00:50:42.160 who really feels compassionate about telling a story.

00:50:46.360 Usually that's the push and pull

00:50:48.300 when it comes to big studio films,

00:50:50.540 or ideally at least.

00:50:52.280 You've got people involved who are storytellers

00:50:54.380 and they really want to tell a story.

00:50:55.600 You've got the studio that only cares about the money,

00:50:57.160 and so that's the fight.

00:50:58.800 But when it comes to these superhero films now,

00:51:01.340 I think it's only,

00:51:02.180 that's all anybody is interested in.

00:51:04.460 No one is saying,

00:51:05.520 oh yeah, I really feel,

00:51:06.380 you know,

00:51:06.620 we've got to tell this Spider-Man story

00:51:08.300 for the,

00:51:08.700 this exact same Spider-Man story

00:51:10.340 for the 50th time.

00:51:11.820 I really feel passionate about telling the story.

00:51:14.680 No, that's not what it is.

00:51:18.200 But,

00:51:18.840 it doesn't have to be that way.

00:51:21.740 So, I think that there is a version

00:51:24.000 of a superhero story

00:51:28.520 that could be meaningful

00:51:30.620 and could add depth

00:51:31.820 and could be real cinema.

00:51:33.580 And there have been a few examples

00:51:35.200 that at least get close to that.

00:51:37.520 But most of that is,

00:51:39.420 just isn't.

00:51:40.700 It's lifeless and empty.

00:51:42.800 Which is,

00:51:43.760 you know,

00:51:43.960 you could argue less a criticism

00:51:45.200 of the superhero stuff

00:51:46.420 and more a criticism of corporate,

00:51:49.160 of Hollywood

00:51:49.800 and of the,

00:51:50.440 you know,

00:51:50.780 the studios themselves.

00:51:52.060 And finally,

00:51:55.740 well, a couple more.

00:51:56.800 It says, 0.99

00:51:56.980 and you have the ignorance, 1.00

00:51:58.320 you have the arrogance 1.00

00:51:59.100 to believe that you can out-argue

00:52:00.760 a full professor

00:52:01.740 with your high school education?

00:52:04.120 Wow, 0.88

00:52:04.580 your arrogance 0.55

00:52:05.160 is only surpassed 0.99

00:52:06.200 by your bigotry 1.00

00:52:07.080 and ignorance. 0.98

00:52:09.260 Then Corey says,

00:52:09.980 oh yes,

00:52:10.600 Mandy thinks he's smarter

00:52:11.560 than a Harvard professor.

00:52:12.740 Unfortunately, 1.00

00:52:13.240 your audience of idiots 1.00

00:52:14.140 actually thinks you know something. 1.00

00:52:16.320 Why do you lead 0.99

00:52:16.940 these gullible losers on? 0.99

00:52:18.120 Well, if you could explain, 0.99

00:52:19.180 yes,

00:52:19.400 I did present my argument

00:52:20.740 against what a Princeton professor said

00:52:23.960 in his attempt

00:52:25.040 to debunk biology,

00:52:26.920 to debunk the biological sex binary

00:52:29.440 of human beings.

00:52:31.320 I presented my argument

00:52:32.400 debunking it.

00:52:33.780 And if you can tell me

00:52:35.500 where I'm wrong,

00:52:36.360 I'd love to hear it.

00:52:38.060 Am I smarter

00:52:38.740 than this Princeton professor?

00:52:41.260 Probably,

00:52:41.760 but that's not saying much.

00:52:43.320 You know,

00:52:43.440 it doesn't take much

00:52:43.980 to be smarter

00:52:44.420 than a Princeton professor

00:52:45.120 these days.

00:52:46.660 And really,

00:52:47.520 I think I'm doing

00:52:48.380 them a massive favor.

00:52:49.280 I'm being very generous

00:52:51.420 by saying that

00:52:52.080 the Princeton professor

00:52:52.820 and a lot of these

00:52:53.340 Ivy League professors 1.00

00:52:53.980 are morons. 1.00

00:52:55.880 Because the other option 1.00

00:52:57.180 is that they're intelligent

00:52:58.720 and so they don't actually

00:53:02.840 believe these things,

00:53:04.200 but they're claiming

00:53:04.880 to believe it anyway

00:53:05.620 and they're teaching it

00:53:06.500 knowing what they're doing,

00:53:08.260 knowing full well

00:53:09.080 that it's false,

00:53:10.040 which would make them evil.

00:53:12.100 So,

00:53:12.500 that's what it is, Corey.

00:53:14.060 These professors 1.00

00:53:14.780 are either stupid 1.00

00:53:16.100 or evil. 1.00

00:53:16.880 Or they could be both.

00:53:17.720 Probably both.

00:53:20.140 While it is tempting

00:53:20.780 to blame postmodernism

00:53:22.160 for ushering in

00:53:23.020 a prevailing sense

00:53:23.840 of nihilism,

00:53:24.520 the truth is that

00:53:25.280 this was an issue

00:53:26.300 going all the way back

00:53:27.240 to biblical times.

00:53:28.700 But then or today,

00:53:29.580 nobody likes a complainer.

00:53:30.860 You just drag everybody down

00:53:32.020 and the consequences

00:53:32.740 of that are just

00:53:33.680 as dire today.

00:53:34.840 This is what Dr. Stephen Blackwood

00:53:36.480 points out in Exodus

00:53:37.800 with Jordan Peterson.

00:53:39.300 Check out a clip here.

00:53:40.720 The vision of God

00:53:42.440 is a necessary condition

00:53:45.220 of the flourishing

00:53:46.380 of society.

00:53:48.060 And without that vision,

00:53:50.140 a people perishes.

00:53:51.400 Well,

00:53:51.820 there's technical reasons

00:53:53.980 for that,

00:53:54.420 I would say,

00:53:55.040 that we know

00:53:55.520 biologically now, too,

00:53:56.900 is that almost all enthusiasm,

00:53:59.620 and so that is to be filled

00:54:00.680 with the Spirit of God,

00:54:01.740 that's positive emotion.

00:54:03.260 And all positive emotion

00:54:04.680 of the most intense sort,

00:54:06.980 I don't mean satiation

00:54:08.080 and satisfaction,

00:54:09.120 I mean hope

00:54:09.920 and enthusiasm

00:54:10.680 that moves you forward

00:54:12.240 is tied to a vision

00:54:14.780 because all positive emotion

00:54:16.680 signals movement

00:54:17.920 towards a valued goal.

00:54:19.700 In addition to Stephen Blackwood,

00:54:20.840 Jordan Peterson

00:54:21.200 is joined by a roundtable

00:54:22.280 of really impressive minds

00:54:23.380 who have gathered

00:54:23.920 to discuss one of the most

00:54:24.900 seminal books in the Bible.

00:54:26.560 All episodes of Exodus

00:54:27.420 are now available exclusively

00:54:28.700 for Daily Wire Plus members.

00:54:31.540 because it's well worth your time

00:54:33.640 to watch the entire thing,

00:54:34.900 but you've got to join first.

00:54:35.900 Join now at dailywire.com

00:54:37.120 slash subscribe

00:54:37.980 to watch Exodus today.

00:54:40.060 Now let's get to our

00:54:40.740 daily cancellation.

00:54:45.840 For our daily cancellation today,

00:54:47.200 we're going to cancel

00:54:48.280 the people who are trying

00:54:49.480 to cancel Tucker Carlson. 0.97

00:54:51.120 Now I know you might take issue

00:54:52.620 with the word trying

00:54:53.500 in that sentence.

00:54:54.320 They aren't trying to cancel him.

00:54:55.620 They did cancel him,

00:54:56.940 you might say,

00:54:57.420 but that would be

00:54:58.500 an incorrect assessment,

00:54:59.640 I think,

00:54:59.900 because Tucker's Fox show

00:55:01.140 may have been canceled,

00:55:02.660 but the man himself

00:55:03.740 has never been less canceled.

00:55:06.260 I mean, he's never been

00:55:06.880 more popular

00:55:07.580 there have never been

00:55:08.620 more people interested

00:55:09.640 in what he asked to say

00:55:10.720 than there are right now.

00:55:12.780 Wherever he goes next,

00:55:13.840 it is guaranteed

00:55:14.580 that millions upon millions

00:55:15.840 of people will follow him.

00:55:17.720 So he's not canceled,

00:55:18.800 but they are trying.

00:55:21.860 And to cancel Tucker,

00:55:23.320 to cancel him as a person

00:55:24.680 rather than simply

00:55:25.580 as a Fox post

00:55:27.100 would require ruining

00:55:28.780 his reputation,

00:55:29.700 making him into a pariah,

00:55:30.920 turning his own audience

00:55:31.760 against him.

00:55:32.220 And that is what Fox News

00:55:33.280 and the left,

00:55:34.340 but I repeat myself,

00:55:35.480 are right now trying to achieve.

00:55:37.580 And they're failing miserably

00:55:38.980 every step of the way,

00:55:39.760 but they're trying.

00:55:40.760 As we talked about

00:55:41.220 yesterday on the show,

00:55:42.080 Fox has started to leak

00:55:43.140 off-air footage

00:55:44.300 of Tucker to Media Matters.

00:55:46.300 And their first salvo

00:55:47.200 was a video

00:55:47.980 of the former host

00:55:48.800 complaining about

00:55:49.420 the Fox Nation streaming service

00:55:50.900 and pointing out accurately

00:55:52.100 that the website

00:55:53.100 is poorly designed

00:55:54.140 and nobody watches

00:55:54.840 any of the shows on it.

00:55:56.100 That revelation

00:55:56.820 didn't exactly have

00:55:57.720 the devastating effect

00:55:58.540 that was somehow anticipated

00:55:59.920 by the smear merchants.

00:56:01.740 So yesterday,

00:56:02.860 a whole deluge

00:56:03.920 of off-air footage

00:56:05.300 was released.

00:56:07.200 Media Matters published

00:56:07.920 a series of videos

00:56:08.780 under the headline,

00:56:09.640 quote,

00:56:10.380 Tucker Carlson's creepy

00:56:11.560 behind-the-scenes comments.

00:56:13.920 What were these creepy comments?

00:56:16.140 Well, here's one

00:56:16.640 where Tucker makes small talk

00:56:18.080 with Piers Morgan

00:56:18.800 before they go on air

00:56:19.860 for an interview.

00:56:20.360 Watch.

00:56:21.560 But thank you so much

00:56:22.560 for coming on.

00:56:23.500 Yeah, I bet that doesn't change.

00:56:25.560 Of course.

00:56:26.320 It's just great to have you

00:56:27.280 on my show.

00:56:28.420 I mean, I've been on yours

00:56:29.380 enough times.

00:56:30.000 It's great.

00:56:30.420 I think it's totally cool.

00:56:35.160 So let's,

00:56:36.220 if we're going to talk

00:56:37.260 about sex, 0.99

00:56:37.840 I'd love to hit

00:56:38.460 some of the fine points

00:56:39.360 of technique.

00:56:44.480 But you know,

00:56:45.160 but it's your show.

00:56:45.840 It's totally up to you.

00:56:47.260 We can certainly talk

00:56:48.260 about your sexual technique,

00:56:49.540 especially after your 1.00

00:56:50.520 tanning testicles last week. 1.00

00:56:52.280 Not mine. 0.99

00:56:53.740 We'll speak in more

00:56:54.880 general terms,

00:56:55.760 but I've got something

00:56:56.500 to add.

00:56:56.900 That is shocking.

00:57:01.700 Wow.

00:57:02.320 I am absolutely stunned.

00:57:04.140 Apparently,

00:57:05.280 Tucker Carlson

00:57:06.160 has a sense of humor.

00:57:08.120 And as we know,

00:57:08.580 Media Matters,

00:57:09.080 they have no patience

00:57:09.840 for such frivolities.

00:57:11.220 There is no sin

00:57:12.200 more serious

00:57:12.960 than making a joke,

00:57:14.000 according to the modern left,

00:57:15.220 who are essentially

00:57:15.880 our version of Puritans, 0.89

00:57:17.360 except without

00:57:17.840 the moral clarity.

00:57:19.480 They caught Tucker

00:57:20.960 making other jokes,

00:57:21.940 too, like this one.

00:57:23.800 Well, I feel great.

00:57:25.400 You know,

00:57:25.600 I can never,

00:57:26.200 I can never assess

00:57:28.180 my appearance.

00:57:29.220 I wait for

00:57:30.200 my post-menopausal fans

00:57:32.880 to weigh in on that.

00:57:35.060 My IFB.

00:57:36.920 What?

00:57:37.440 They want to control me

00:57:38.600 from afar?

00:57:39.480 Okay, I'm putting

00:57:40.200 the leash on.

00:57:42.080 You can, 1.00

00:57:43.440 f*** it, 1.00

00:57:44.880 we'll do it live. 1.00

00:57:47.600 I got you, baby.

00:57:49.980 Well, that one is

00:57:50.740 especially confusing

00:57:51.480 to the left,

00:57:51.940 because not only

00:57:52.800 is he making a joke,

00:57:53.780 but it's a self-deprecating joke,

00:57:55.400 and that is the most

00:57:56.100 mysterious form of humor

00:57:57.500 to a leftist.

00:57:58.740 Tucker is making fun

00:57:59.840 of himself and Fox

00:58:00.980 by saying that all the fans

00:58:02.120 are post-menopausal,

00:58:03.520 which in Fox's case,

00:58:04.860 not so much for Tucker

00:58:05.640 personally,

00:58:06.420 is certainly true.

00:58:08.240 But of all the shots

00:58:09.080 taken by Media Matters

00:58:09.980 that ultimately end up,

00:58:11.260 you know,

00:58:11.600 ricocheting off the wall

00:58:12.540 and bouncing back

00:58:13.280 and hitting them 0.95

00:58:13.740 in their own faces, 0.99

00:58:14.860 this next one

00:58:15.660 is the funniest.

00:58:16.840 For some reason,

00:58:18.300 they thought it was

00:58:19.120 a good idea

00:58:19.740 to also publish

00:58:20.780 this video.

00:58:21.580 You wouldn't?

00:58:23.360 Okay, I'm not,

00:58:24.120 you know what,

00:58:24.500 I'm not qualified

00:58:25.160 on that score,

00:58:25.940 I will say.

00:58:27.300 I thought his girlfriend

00:58:28.040 was kind of yummy.

00:58:30.840 Just kidding,

00:58:31.580 just kidding

00:58:32.200 in case this is being

00:58:33.000 pulled off the bird.

00:58:35.720 Yeah, the bird.

00:58:37.540 Hey, Media Matters

00:58:38.920 for America, 1.00

00:58:39.800 go f*** yourself. 1.00

00:58:41.300 That's the first thing 1.00

00:58:42.020 I want to say tonight.

00:58:43.220 Second thing is,

00:58:43.920 totally kidding,

00:58:44.560 I don't even know

00:58:45.060 what his girlfriend 0.99

00:58:45.520 looks like.

00:58:46.200 And if I did,

00:58:46.960 I would not find her

00:58:47.960 yummy.

00:58:48.520 So what we learn here

00:58:51.160 is that Tucker Carlson

00:58:52.280 is a prophet

00:58:53.120 who can see the future.

00:58:54.820 But the really funny thing

00:58:56.040 is that the nerds

00:58:56.960 at Media Matters

00:58:57.540 are not only

00:58:58.380 the hall monitors

00:58:59.920 of the internet,

00:59:00.700 they also,

00:59:01.240 at the same time,

00:59:02.440 suffer under the delusion

00:59:03.680 that we'll all come

00:59:05.660 to their defense

00:59:06.680 if somebody says

00:59:07.680 something mean about them.

00:59:09.800 You know,

00:59:09.920 they think that we'll see that

00:59:10.780 and say,

00:59:11.680 well,

00:59:11.960 you said that about

00:59:12.680 Media Matters?

00:59:14.100 Well,

00:59:14.500 how could you?

00:59:17.260 But,

00:59:17.500 you've crossed the line,

00:59:18.800 sir.

00:59:19.060 Sir,

00:59:19.320 you've crossed the line.

00:59:20.700 I can no longer

00:59:21.320 support you,

00:59:22.040 Tucker,

00:59:22.640 if you're going to say

00:59:23.600 those horrible things

00:59:24.720 about Media Matters.

00:59:26.300 No,

00:59:26.760 they're sadly mistaken.

00:59:27.560 In fact,

00:59:27.900 I think I speak for all

00:59:28.900 normal Americans

00:59:29.940 when I say that I fully

00:59:30.900 endorse Tucker's sentiments

00:59:32.080 about Media Matters.

00:59:34.100 I would only add

00:59:35.520 that the people

00:59:36.540 who work there

00:59:37.340 are a bunch of 0.99

00:59:38.520 reptilian ghouls 1.00

00:59:39.840 and degenerate perverts 1.00

00:59:41.020 who have never contributed 0.99

00:59:41.980 anything of value

00:59:43.020 to the world ever.

00:59:44.940 So,

00:59:45.220 Tucker should have

00:59:45.740 mentioned that as well,

00:59:46.660 but I'm not going

00:59:47.620 to hold it against him.

00:59:48.860 With the spectacular

00:59:49.760 failure of those

00:59:50.760 smear attempts,

00:59:51.360 Fox decided to try again,

00:59:52.460 this time teaming up

00:59:53.500 with their friends

00:59:54.800 at the New York Times.

00:59:56.740 Last night,

00:59:57.520 the Times published

00:59:58.120 a lengthy article

00:59:59.960 about a text message

01:00:01.040 that Tucker sent

01:00:03.040 to one of his producers

01:00:04.000 at Fox in 2021.

01:00:05.580 This is from the Times.

01:00:06.260 Quote,

01:00:06.380 A text message sent

01:00:07.780 by Tucker Carlson

01:00:08.400 that set off a panic

01:00:09.320 at the highest levels

01:00:10.220 of Fox on the eve

01:00:11.140 of its billion dollar

01:00:11.960 defamation trial

01:00:12.840 showed its most popular host

01:00:14.580 sharing his private

01:00:15.560 inflammatory views

01:00:16.820 about violence and race.

01:00:18.580 The discovery of the message

01:00:19.480 contributed to a chain

01:00:20.380 of events that ultimately

01:00:21.240 led to Mr. Carlson's firing.

01:00:23.240 In the message sent

01:00:23.860 to one of his producers

01:00:24.540 in the hours after

01:00:25.420 violent Trump supporters

01:00:26.360 stormed the Capitol

01:00:27.120 on January 6, 2021,

01:00:29.380 Mr. Carlson described

01:00:30.240 how he had recently

01:00:31.000 watched a group of,

01:00:31.920 a video of a group

01:00:32.860 of men,

01:00:33.320 Trump supporters,

01:00:34.120 he said,

01:00:34.520 violently attacking

01:00:35.240 an Antifa kid.

01:00:37.120 Okay, well they go on

01:00:37.880 describing the text

01:00:38.880 and the circumstances

01:00:39.540 around it

01:00:39.960 trying to explain

01:00:40.680 why it's offensive

01:00:41.380 and scandalous

01:00:42.000 and racist

01:00:42.480 but we can just

01:00:44.020 cut to the chase

01:00:44.600 and read this text message

01:00:46.420 for ourselves.

01:00:47.620 So here it is.

01:00:48.960 Here's what he texted.

01:00:50.540 A couple of weeks ago

01:00:51.580 I was watching a video

01:00:52.560 of people fighting

01:00:53.380 on the street in Washington.

01:00:54.880 A group of Trump guys

01:00:55.920 surrounded an Antifa kid

01:00:56.960 and started pounding 0.99

01:00:57.680 the living shit out of him. 0.99

01:00:59.100 It was three against one 0.99

01:01:00.060 at least.

01:01:00.700 Jumping a guy like that 0.99

01:01:01.500 is dishonorable, obviously.

01:01:03.400 It's not how white men fight. 0.51

01:01:05.240 Yet suddenly I found myself

01:01:06.500 rooting for the mob

01:01:07.360 against the man

01:01:08.240 hoping they'd hit him harder, 1.00

01:01:09.500 kill him. 1.00

01:01:10.300 I really wanted them 1.00

01:01:10.940 to hurt the kid. 0.54

01:01:11.880 I could taste it.

01:01:13.260 Then somewhere deep in my brain

01:01:14.460 an alarm went off.

01:01:15.840 This isn't good for me.

01:01:16.880 I'm becoming something

01:01:17.480 I don't want to be.

01:01:18.840 The Antifa creep

01:01:19.620 is a human being.

01:01:20.840 Much as I despise

01:01:21.680 what he says and does,

01:01:22.500 much as I'm sure

01:01:22.980 I'd hate him personally

01:01:23.720 if I knew him,

01:01:24.660 I shouldn't gloat

01:01:25.520 over his suffering.

01:01:26.600 I should be bothered by it.

01:01:28.160 I should remember

01:01:28.680 that somewhere,

01:01:29.600 somebody probably

01:01:30.360 loves this kid

01:01:31.180 and would be crushed 1.00

01:01:32.100 if he was killed. 1.00

01:01:33.380 If I don't care

01:01:34.160 about these things,

01:01:34.940 if I reduce people

01:01:35.780 to their politics,

01:01:37.300 how am I better

01:01:38.200 than he is?

01:01:40.220 Okay, the only shocking

01:01:41.520 thing about this text message

01:01:42.640 is that it's way more

01:01:44.160 thoughtful and interesting

01:01:45.380 than the average text message.

01:01:48.100 Okay, it reads like

01:01:48.940 a passage from a book,

01:01:50.420 not a message

01:01:51.260 dashed off on a phone

01:01:52.520 and texted to a co-worker.

01:01:54.380 Most people text in emojis

01:01:55.740 and GIFs

01:01:56.340 and internet slang.

01:01:57.860 Tucker is writing

01:01:58.420 actual paragraphs,

01:02:00.560 expressing his emotions

01:02:02.180 through language

01:02:03.160 and offering like

01:02:04.440 insights into the human condition

01:02:06.100 via text message.

01:02:08.740 It is,

01:02:09.220 that is shocking to see.

01:02:10.580 That part is shocking.

01:02:12.360 But as far as the content

01:02:13.740 of his message goes,

01:02:15.040 there is nothing here

01:02:15.740 that any normal person

01:02:16.840 would be offended by.

01:02:18.380 He's being introspective

01:02:19.980 and honest,

01:02:20.700 wrestling against

01:02:21.400 his own desire

01:02:22.160 for vengeance.

01:02:22.920 That's a desire,

01:02:23.320 it's a desire

01:02:24.020 that we could all relate to.

01:02:25.640 The only difference

01:02:26.120 is that many of us

01:02:26.860 don't bother wrestling

01:02:27.920 against it.

01:02:29.160 And certainly on the left,

01:02:30.340 again,

01:02:30.780 this is why to them

01:02:31.500 it's like shocking.

01:02:32.960 They would never,

01:02:33.960 they have the same feeling.

01:02:36.180 I mean, 0.99

01:02:36.460 they want us all dead. 0.96

01:02:37.980 Okay, 0.59

01:02:38.160 if there's footage,

01:02:39.100 if there was footage

01:02:40.580 of Tucker Carlson

01:02:41.840 being beaten by a mob,

01:02:45.100 every person on the left

01:02:46.460 would openly gloat over it.

01:02:48.660 They would love it.

01:02:49.200 It would never occur to them

01:02:50.420 to even wrestle

01:02:51.320 against that instinct.

01:02:55.020 But Tucker is wrestling

01:02:56.420 against it

01:02:56.900 as a decent person does.

01:02:59.060 I suppose we're also

01:02:59.700 supposed to be scandalized

01:03:00.680 about his comment

01:03:01.320 that white men 0.59

01:03:02.560 don't generally fight 0.55

01:03:03.560 by ganging up

01:03:04.340 and mobbing someone 0.99

01:03:05.920 the way they were

01:03:06.940 in that video,

01:03:07.460 apparently.

01:03:08.540 Tucker is implying,

01:03:09.700 of course,

01:03:10.560 that non-whites 1.00

01:03:11.720 do fight that way.

01:03:14.600 And here he commits

01:03:15.500 the other great sin

01:03:16.680 of the modern era,

01:03:17.440 which is the sin

01:03:18.240 of noticing.

01:03:20.020 So Tucker has apparently

01:03:21.060 noticed,

01:03:22.020 noticed out loud,

01:03:22.900 rather than noticing silently,

01:03:24.140 like most people do,

01:03:25.340 that in almost every video

01:03:27.660 where multiple people

01:03:29.340 are beating the hell

01:03:30.420 out of a single victim.

01:03:32.080 And there are many videos

01:03:33.200 like this on the internet,

01:03:34.100 unfortunately.

01:03:35.580 And in almost every case

01:03:37.320 of that,

01:03:38.280 that we have ever seen,

01:03:41.080 the assailants

01:03:41.940 are not white.

01:03:45.700 That's just a fact.

01:03:47.400 And we have all noticed it.

01:03:49.160 Every single person.

01:03:50.740 Any person who read

01:03:51.500 that text message

01:03:52.040 from Tucker

01:03:53.600 and pretended to be offended,

01:03:54.800 they know exactly

01:03:56.160 what he's talking about.

01:03:57.360 Anyone who's listening

01:03:57.980 to me right now,

01:03:59.460 Media Matters,

01:03:59.940 probably one of them,

01:04:00.820 is getting ready to clip

01:04:01.780 this exact segment.

01:04:03.840 But they also,

01:04:04.880 they also have noticed it.

01:04:06.780 So they hear that

01:04:07.600 and they go,

01:04:07.960 oh yeah, sure.

01:04:08.920 But then they pretend,

01:04:09.820 but we can't say that.

01:04:12.700 So everyone knows

01:04:13.600 that it's true.

01:04:16.540 What does it mean?

01:04:18.260 What do we make of it?

01:04:20.320 What do we do

01:04:21.360 with the fact

01:04:22.100 that in nearly every video

01:04:23.320 on the internet

01:04:23.720 where gangs of people

01:04:24.580 viciously assault

01:04:25.400 another person,

01:04:26.220 the gangs are comprised

01:04:27.060 of people who are not white?

01:04:28.180 What do we do with that?

01:04:29.040 Well, that's a separate question.

01:04:30.520 We could talk about the whys. 0.80

01:04:32.460 But the what,

01:04:34.380 the simple fact,

01:04:35.520 is not really up for debate.

01:04:36.860 It is what it is.

01:04:38.760 It just is.

01:04:39.920 That's all.

01:04:40.660 If it makes you uncomfortable,

01:04:42.020 it still is.

01:04:43.980 I'm sorry that it is.

01:04:45.060 I wish it wasn't the case,

01:04:46.720 but it is.

01:04:48.360 You might wish that it isn't,

01:04:49.560 but it is.

01:04:50.020 So what have we learned

01:04:53.660 from all this?

01:04:54.200 Well, we've learned

01:04:54.780 that really what we already knew,

01:04:56.540 which is that Tucker Carlson

01:04:57.540 is normal and he's honest.

01:04:59.860 His critics are

01:05:00.920 neither of those things.

01:05:03.560 They are at this point

01:05:05.220 so abnormal

01:05:06.140 and so dishonest

01:05:07.320 that they can't even

01:05:08.280 accurately predict

01:05:09.520 how other normal

01:05:10.680 and honest people

01:05:11.500 will react to things.

01:05:13.300 So they thought

01:05:14.120 that we'd see these smear attempts

01:05:15.400 and turn against Tucker.

01:05:16.560 Instead,

01:05:16.800 we only like him more.

01:05:17.680 And that is ultimately why

01:05:20.660 Tucker's attempted cancelers

01:05:22.660 are today canceled.

01:05:25.020 And that'll do it

01:05:25.380 for this portion of the show

01:05:26.040 as we move over

01:05:26.400 to Member's Block.

01:05:26.980 Hope to see you there.

01:05:27.900 If not,

01:05:28.320 talk to you tomorrow.

01:05:29.120 Godspeed.

01:05:29.480 Have a great day.

01:05:38.280 Bye.

01:05:38.780 Hope to see you there.

01:05:39.780 Bye.

01:05:56.780 Bye.

01:05:57.500 Bye.

01:05:57.980 Bye.

01:05:58.620 Bye.
