Today on the Matwell Show, an NBC report featuring a trans kid has gone viral. The boy is chemically
00:00:04.780
castrated and put on the path towards sterilization, even as we hear him tell his mother that he's
00:00:09.260
having second thoughts. Also, a new study says that if you wore an N95 mask, you were probably
00:00:14.400
breathing in something called toxic, volatile organic compounds. If that sounds bad, it's because
00:00:19.580
it is. Plus, police in Nevada earn a standing ovation for the American public after they blow
00:00:23.540
through a climate protest or blockade and drag everybody away in handcuffs. It's a heartwarming
00:00:27.720
video. And Oliver Anthony divides conservatives with his recent comments about politics and
00:00:32.920
quote, conservative news. We'll discuss all that and more today on the Matwell Show.
00:00:44.760

If there's one thing trans activists desperately do not want you to do under any circumstance,
00:01:55.480
it's think back to what life was like before the rise of trans ideology. They need you to believe
00:02:00.960
that before we allowed men to compete against women in sports and before every company in the
00:02:05.060
Fortune 500 started spending hundreds of millions of dollars hiring demented activists with blue hair,
00:02:10.460
the old world was a bleak hellscape. Children were killing themselves en masse because their subjective
00:02:15.560
sense of gender identity wasn't being affirmed. In this dark age of transphobia, which ran from
00:02:21.440
basically the dawn of time until yesterday, middle-aged men went insane with despair because
00:02:27.260
they couldn't cross-dress in front of toddlers at the local library. Law firms and consultants simply
00:02:32.300
couldn't give good advice to their clients on account of the fact that they didn't have enough
00:02:35.900
cross-dressers in leadership positions. Things were dire. In order for any sane person to buy into
00:02:41.680
this narrative, it's vitally important that they not watch any footage from before the mass formation
00:02:47.440
psychosis of trans ideology took hold in this country. So naturally, we'll begin with some of
00:02:52.740
that footage. Here, for example, is a report by NBC News from the year 2012. And this was resurfaced
00:02:58.120
this weekend by the popular account End Wokeness. And it quickly went viral. And you'll see why. Watch.
00:03:04.140
To me, it seems ridiculous to have a kid at age 12, 13, 14 deciding whether they want to have
00:03:10.660
biological children when they're 20, 30, or 40. I mean... Well, they make the decision to kill
00:03:15.580
themselves at 12 and 13. That's a pretty powerful decision. We take an oath. First, do no harm.
00:03:21.680
If doing nothing is doing harm, you have to do something. So that's a mainstream news anchor
00:03:27.140
explaining that, quote, it seems ridiculous to have a kid age 13 or 14 deciding whether they want to
00:03:31.760
have biological children. She's saying what most Americans would have agreed with at the time and
00:03:36.200
still do, which is that it's crazy to administer cross-sex hormones, which sterilize patients for
00:03:41.960
life to young kids who are barely teenagers. They're permanently forfeiting their ability to
00:03:47.540
procreate at an age when they can't possibly understand the implications of such a decision.
00:03:52.680
Just about a decade ago, it was not blasphemy to point that out. It was instead
00:03:56.720
the default position of milquetoast personalities on NBC News. You're not allowed to say those things
00:04:04.160
anymore, and it's easy to see why. The doctor in that clip has no response except to say that
00:04:10.280
children can kill themselves at that age, which she calls a powerful decision. She actually says that.
00:04:17.480
It's a powerful decision for kids to kill themselves. Those are her words.
00:04:21.200
It's such a deranged answer that it's hard to know where to begin in responding to it.
00:04:27.780
So now a person is capable of informed consent as long as they are physically able to commit suicide?
00:04:35.060
What the hell kind of standard is that? Also, notice how the suicide threat doesn't do anything to
00:04:40.960
answer any of the actual objections of critics. Even if it's true that a child will kill themselves if
00:04:47.700
they don't transition, and it's not true. There's no data to support that, and all of human history
00:04:52.160
shows that that's a lie. But even if it were true, does that mean that a child really can consent?
00:04:59.800
Does it mean that the boy really is a girl? Put it this way. Are we transitioning the boy
00:05:06.000
because the claims he's making about himself are true, or are we doing it as a desperate last-ditch
00:05:15.200
effort to prevent him from killing himself? It has to be one or the other. It can't be both.
00:05:22.000
But it can be neither. And it turns out that it's neither. Now, raising any of these concerns is now
00:05:28.360
forbidden. If that same anchor said the same thing today, as we all know, she'd be driven out of town
00:05:33.160
by a mob of pitchfork-wielding LGBT activists. So this whole NBC News segment is worth scrutinizing
00:05:39.540
for this reason. It's like a time capsule from before everyone completely lost their minds. And
00:05:44.440
to that end, here's the portion of that NBC News segment where they talk about a young boy by the
00:05:53.660
Guidelines developed in Europe suggest waiting until around age 16. And bioethicist Dr. Moon says
00:05:59.980
the few studies that do exist suggest young kids with gender identity problems often grow
00:06:06.200
out of them. A lot of those kids that start out as children who are saying, I'm in the wrong body
00:06:10.380
end up finding out by the time they're middle adolescence that they're actually fairly comfortable
00:06:14.660
with their own gender. But Josie is not one of those kids. Or is she?
00:06:21.560
Maybe I'm a boy inside and a girl outside. Really? Estrogen treatment is irreversible and would make
00:06:30.800
Josie sterile. But Josie and her mother never doubted it was the right thing until an unexpected
00:06:37.340
conversation happened one afternoon. But on the inside where nobody else can see? Yeah. Are you a boy
00:06:44.260
or are you a girl? Maybe I'm a boy inside and a girl outside. Really? Yeah. Is that true? Only you know
00:06:54.060
the answer to that. So if you wanted to grow up to be a man? Yeah. Would you tell me? Yeah. Hey, if you
00:07:05.180
wanted to grow up and be a man, you could. I want to be... Sometimes I think I'm a boy, sort of, but I
00:07:15.780
want to be a girl. Yeah. Would you love me if I'm a boy? Of course. I would love you no matter what.
00:07:22.120
I always have and I always will. Now, the little slight hint of skepticism that we get from NBC in
00:07:30.660
this report, you know, at least showing us that there are some doctors out there who will say that
00:07:38.180
it's not a good idea to make permanent life-altering changes to a child. Like that small, small hint of
00:07:44.800
skepticism these days would not be allowed at all. But the most important part from this clip is we
00:07:50.580
have the child, Joseph Romero, clearly expressing confusion and hesitation. In fact, he says that maybe
00:07:56.900
he's a boy trapped in a girl's body instead of the other way around, even though he already has a
00:08:01.960
boy's body. Or he says, yeah, he says it's a boy trapped in a girl's body is what he says now.
00:08:09.480
This is how turned around and upside down this poor kid's self-perception has become thanks to
00:08:15.620
Munchausen mommy and her enablers. He has no idea what he thinks about himself. He's just, he's confused.
00:08:22.100
Of course he is, because he's a child and he's been put in this environment. He's as confused as
00:08:28.720
any kid would be, as you or I would have been. Yet they went ahead and sterilized him anyway.
00:08:35.720
Now, imagine looking at a young boy like that, who's so clearly confused and saying, yeah, I think
00:08:41.560
sterilizing him is a good idea. It's unthinkable. That's exactly what happened. And it happened because
00:08:47.260
Romero's parents wanted it to happen for a long time. Several years before that segment aired on
00:08:52.980
NBC News back in 2009, this was in 2012, but back in 2009, Romero's parents made it clear that they
00:08:58.960
wanted to lock him into his girl identity as soon as possible. So they transitioned him and immediately
00:09:04.180
announced it to the entire world. He's been, he's been profiled by major media outlets since he was
00:09:08.820
at least eight years old. Now, even if you're crazy enough to think that a little boy can really be
00:09:14.640
a girl in some mystical sense, you still have to see how there is no benefit to the child if you make
00:09:22.040
it a public spectacle. Yet that's what the parents of trans kids so often do. Yet somehow none of the
00:09:29.260
doctors involved in this boy's health care are alarmed by any of these red flags in any way. Instead, the
00:09:34.060
doctor featured in this segment, whose name is Johanna Olson, decides to administer so-called puberty
00:09:39.200
blockers to Joseph anyway. Watch. Dr. Olson had a decision. You are in the perfect place to start
00:09:47.600
on blockers. And she promises to begin giving her estrogen, female hormones, in two years. Around 13.
00:09:56.480
That's what I think. Yes, you're not going to develop breast buds on the blockers, but you're not going
00:10:02.380
to wait until 16 to start. You know that, okay? Josie received the blockers as an implant in her arm.
00:10:10.460
It's okay if you're crying. So with all the bravery she could muster,
00:10:14.660
you're going to feel a little bit of a... Josie held on tight...
00:10:17.380
Ow! ...as another chapter opened in this young girl's life.
00:10:25.340
A lot of times it strikes me that had this happened just 20 years ago...
00:10:32.700
...I wouldn't have been able to give her blockers, and she would have had to go through male puberty.
00:10:37.080
That terrifies me. It's all done. Do you want a hug?
00:10:40.120
I don't know that she would have survived male puberty.
00:10:45.440
Now, it's hard to imagine any decent person watching that footage and not calling for the
00:10:50.100
immediate arrest of everybody involved in the production, from the doctors to the NBC news producers
00:10:54.560
to the parents. But nobody called for that back in 2012 when it aired. And that's kind of a big
00:10:59.880
takeaway from this segment, is that conservatives had a chance to shut down the child gender
00:11:04.080
transition racket early on. If there had been a loud and aggressive response to this agenda in
00:11:09.100
its early stages back in 2012, maybe it never would have made it off the ground. But the conservative
00:11:14.640
movement has historically been incapable of responding to cultural threats until they're so ingrained
00:11:19.960
that they'll take decades to root out and destroy. And this is a prime example of that.
00:11:25.540
The doctors involved in this barbarism have only gotten promotions and more power in the
00:11:30.160
interim. On Twitter, Billboard Chris reports that the doctor in that NBC news segment is
00:11:36.180
now running the gender clinic at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. This doctor is somewhat
00:11:41.060
infamous for a clip that we played on this show a couple of years ago. And if you don't
00:11:45.240
remember, we'll play it again. Here she is explaining that it's okay to chop off a young girl's
00:11:50.240
breasts because she can always get new ones if she wants. Watch.
00:11:54.180
I'm just going to say this. Actually, people get married when they're under 20. Actually,
00:12:01.640
people choose colleges to go to. Actually, people make life-altering decisions in adolescence.
00:12:08.560
All the time. All the time. And honestly, most of them are good. It's just the bad ones that
00:12:15.900
we talk about. Oh my God, the cinnamon challenge, right? I mean, why do we know about it? Because
00:12:21.080
it's a thing and it's not common. Most teenagers aren't eating cinnamon, right? But some are and
00:12:27.220
they're on YouTube and that's stupid. But we don't put on YouTube the things that are really good
00:12:31.480
decisions, right? Oh my gosh, my kid took the S-18s. Not a very exciting after school special,
00:12:39.600
right? But so what we do know is that adolescents actually have the capacity to make a reason,
00:12:46.060
logical decision. And here's the other thing about chest surgery. If you want breasts at a later
00:12:52.680
point in your life, you can go and get them. Now, any sane human being watching that clip would
00:12:58.280
think, well, this person shouldn't be anywhere near children, much less running a gender clinic.
00:13:03.180
The truth is that documentaries and reports about trans kids often cite experts like this who are
00:13:08.940
clearly activists who are deranged. I mean, everything she says in that clip is either totally false or
00:13:15.580
completely beside the point. She claims that most decisions that teenagers make are good,
00:13:21.820
which is just an insane thing to say. If you've ever met a teenager or been one,
00:13:28.200
then you know how insane that is. She claims that you can go and get breasts at a later point in your
00:13:33.620
life after you've chopped them off, which is also insane. That's like saying you might as well chop
00:13:37.960
your arm off because you can always get a new one. No, you can get a prosthetic, but you can never have
00:13:42.920
the actual body part back. Most notably, she lists taking the SATs as a positive life-altering decision
00:13:50.520
that kids make. But that's not life-altering in the same permanent and irreversible and physical
00:13:56.640
way that sterilizing yourself and removing body parts is. And besides, kids don't choose to take
00:14:03.400
the SATs. The SATs are invented and administered by adults. Two kids who were either given no choice in
00:14:11.700
the matter by their parents or were heavily influenced in their decision, quote-unquote
00:14:16.000
decision, by the fact that every adult has told them it's necessary to take the test if you want
00:14:20.760
to be successful in life. So if gender transition is similar to taking the SATs as this doctor claims,
00:14:28.260
that only proves that kids who transition are forced to do it or heavily pressured just as they
00:14:34.760
are with the SATs. She has made the opposite of the point she was trying to make. And this is pretty
00:14:42.140
common. Ininvertently, trans activists often reveal truths that they wanted to keep hidden,
00:14:46.940
which is especially common in these documentaries like this one from NBC that show the child transition
00:14:53.060
process. We all remember the clips of Jazz Jennings revealing his deep unhappiness to his mother,
00:14:58.780
or recall the HBO documentary called Transhood. The whole film was full of children who clearly
00:15:05.300
didn't want to be a part of the gender cult. And here's just one profoundly disturbing segment from
00:15:11.240
that documentary. Watch. Good morning. Today we choose to recognize, honor, love, and celebrate
00:15:19.180
anyone here who would claim their identity publicly as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,
00:15:26.740
queer, or questioning, intersex, pansexual, asexual, or any category that I've left out.
00:15:46.920
You're a little shy? Do you want to tell your phone if you're a boy or a girl?
00:16:04.020
Okay. Phoenix would like you to know that she's a girl, and she prefers she and her pronouns.
00:16:12.760
May you be well, safe, and whole. We honor you exactly as you are.
00:16:19.900
So the boy is dragged up on stage at the fake church to announce his fake gender,
00:16:25.820
but he has no interest in being a part of this spectacle. His mother is literally pulling him
00:16:30.440
along by his hand, bringing him deeper into a, quote, gender identity that she picked out for him.
00:16:37.040
Also in the same HBO documentary, we see a young child being recruited
00:16:40.280
by his mother to become a trans activist, even as the boy objects and says that it's ruining his life.
00:16:47.680
Soon, D.C., we're going to be moving to the White House presidential area to throw a book in Donald Trump's face.
00:17:00.820
This one is Time to Thrive, and it's for people who work with LGBTQ youth.
00:17:05.760
We actually go and meet with our senators and representatives.
00:17:09.660
After we do that, we go and sit and sell some of Avery's books for a little while.
00:17:19.140
I just don't want to even have a book. I've done too much in this world. It's ruined my life enough,
00:17:25.320
and now everyone in this world is going to know. If I sell my book, it's going to go on the news along with me for, like, the 50th time at this point.
00:17:43.000
Yeah, I did, but now that was a really stupid, silly mistake, and now I don't.
00:17:56.220
So you'll listen to the mother there. She says, well, a couple years ago, you wanted this.
00:18:04.660
What, you said you wanted something when you were seven that you don't want a couple years ago?
00:18:10.540
Who's ever known a seven-year-old to change their mind?
00:18:16.920
Now, keep in mind that these are the, quote, trans kids who they put on TV.
00:18:22.880
These are supposed to be the mascots for child gender transition.
00:18:27.660
These are supposed to be the case studies that make the child gender transition industry look good.
00:18:36.420
And yet these kids are clearly in pain and confused and abused.
00:18:48.580
What about the ones who don't make the cut to be profiled by HBO or NBC or TLC?
00:18:55.520
Watching clips like these, it's clear there's a reason the media has been much more careful in recent years
00:19:03.360
They only do it now for very short propaganda pieces.
00:19:10.300
It's the same reason they don't want you talking about news reports from a decade ago.
00:19:15.940
Trans activists desperately don't want the truth to slip through the cracks.
00:19:20.740
They know that the more people are able to distance themselves from the relentless propaganda of the moment,
00:19:25.540
the more people can get an unfettered look at the lifelong debilitating consequences of trans ideology on children,
00:19:31.460
the more transgenderism is exposed for the fraud that it is.
00:19:34.140
The bad news is that for the past several years, trans activists have largely succeeded in hiding the damage that they've done.
00:19:41.400
But the good news is that finally, the truth is coming out.
00:19:57.600
Thanks to my friends at Cinch, my grill is never empty with propane.

00:20:46.020
Also, you know, if you want some positive news in the culture war, since Roe v. Wade was overturned,
00:20:49.680
the left has lost their mind making abortion their official sacrament.
00:20:53.740
The pro-life efforts, which are more important now than ever, are booming.
00:20:57.360
Despite the narrative, pro-lifers didn't go away.
00:21:01.340
As one of the largest pro-life organizations in the world,
00:21:03.560
no one's in a better position than 40 Days for Life to end abortion in each state in a post-Roe America.
00:21:08.340
40 Days for Life is changing hearts and minds in the most blue pro-abortion states.
00:21:12.640
They've had a record number of locations since Roe was overturned,
00:21:15.160
and they grew in both volunteers and locations.

00:21:32.120
So on Friday, we talked about the war on plastic straws,
00:21:35.660
which was waged at the behest of a nine-year-old boy
00:21:38.240
in order to save the planet from certain destruction.
00:21:41.120
And because of this war, we switched over to paper straws,
00:21:43.280
which are pretty much the least efficient, least effective material to make straws with.
00:21:47.140
But, you know, if you prefer to drink your straw rather than to drink with your straw,
00:21:51.520
then they're perfect because they dissolve into the liquid,
00:21:53.820
and, you know, you drink the—so you're consuming the straw itself.
00:21:57.660
Well, as it turns out, paper straws are not going to save the planet
00:22:00.360
because, in fact, they're made with what are called forever chemicals,
00:22:03.280
which last longer than plastic, and they also cause cancer and other ailments.
00:22:08.520
So we were told to go along with the paper straw thing
00:22:10.840
because it's only a small sacrifice for the greater good,
00:22:13.540
but it turns out that it's a small sacrifice that achieves nothing
00:22:17.140
and, in fact, actually causes more problems than it solves.
00:22:22.020
And that brings us to the latest update, which is not about paper straws,
00:22:25.000
but rather about a different product that was also supposed to save humanity a few years ago,
00:22:33.280
The surgical N95 mask has been held up as the gold standard
00:22:38.580
but a study quietly re-shared by the National Institutes of Health in spring
00:22:42.340
suggests the tight-fitting mask may expose users to dangerous levels of toxic chemicals.
00:22:48.560
Researchers from Jeon Buck National University in South Korea
00:22:52.680
looked at two types of disposable medical-grade masks
00:22:57.380
The studies found that the chemicals released by these masks
00:23:00.340
had eight times the recommended safety limit of toxic, volatile, organic compounds, TVOCs.
00:23:07.720
Inhaling TVOCs has been linked to health issues like headaches and nausea,
00:23:14.820
has been linked to organ damage and even cancer.
00:23:18.180
It's clear that particular attention must be paid to the VOCs associated with the use of KF94 medical masks
00:23:24.580
and their effects on human health, the researchers wrote in a study published in April.
00:23:30.040
However, there are ways to reduce the damage, they said.
00:23:33.140
Exposure can be significantly reduced if a mask is opened and left to sit for at least 30 minutes,
00:23:38.980
This suggests that the packaging of these masks could play a role in the amount of chemicals they have.
00:23:43.020
Once again, our basic common-sense intuitions have been vindicated.
00:23:54.220
Now, we may not have said anything before about toxic, volatile compounds.
00:24:00.240
I don't remember back when the mask debate was really raging.
00:24:07.480
I don't remember any of us saying, well, but there are toxic, volatile compounds in these masks.
00:24:13.080
We didn't say anything about that specifically because we didn't know about that.
00:24:16.680
But many of us could intuit the fact that it's probably not healthy to strap a mask to your face all day.
00:24:27.960
Well, because the healthiest thing, it seemed to us, is to have direct access to the air outside.
00:24:35.740
The healthiest thing is to breathe in the actual air.
00:24:40.540
And, of course, when we said that three years ago, we were shouted down by a bunch of smarmy idiots saying,
00:24:54.880
What studies did you read that says that it's not a good idea to muzzle yourself all day?
00:25:00.340
The answer, as always, is that the studies to confirm what any rational person already knew
00:25:06.860
would be coming in the future, but they weren't there yet.
00:25:11.860
Well, because prior to COVID, it was never considered an option to have billions of people
00:25:17.420
wearing masks all day, every day, everywhere, all the time.
00:25:23.020
Nobody had really studied that because nobody had been crazy enough to do it.
00:25:27.140
And the left is always using this kind of thing to their advantage, right?
00:25:31.440
They implement some insane new policy, and then they go, oh, yeah?
00:25:41.920
Yeah, well, there's a reason for that, it turns out.
00:25:44.100
Now, that's not to say that they were mistaken or something.
00:25:52.260
And the design is to get us to question and ultimately reject our own common sense judgments.
00:26:01.300
You know, they don't want you to use common sense.
00:26:03.660
It was to the point, as I'm sure you recall, where, you know, you had people wearing N95 masks
00:26:12.880
while they were exercising, like going for a six-mile jog around town and wearing an N95 mask.
00:26:21.580
And once again, those with common sense among us looked at that and said, there's no way that's healthy.
00:26:27.440
It cannot be healthy to wear that thing on your face while you're jogging in the heat.
00:26:48.320
And then they'll come back around and say, oh, yeah, well, okay.
00:27:00.580
The voice in your own head, your own instincts, your own intuition.
00:27:04.800
And instead, blindly follow them while they proceed to lead you directly into a ditch.
00:27:16.140
But the more you follow, the more you're conditioned towards pure obedience, just for the sake of it.
00:27:31.660
But look, I'm a sucker for heartwarming videos.
00:27:40.300
Anytime I see one of those videos that comes up on the feed of a young child getting a hearing aid for the first time and hearing his mother's voice for the first time, very heartwarming.
00:27:53.120
I always stop and watch those videos to warm my cold, dead heart.
00:27:57.480
But of all the heartwarming videos I've seen online in recent weeks, I think none were quite so nice as this one.
00:28:27.480
Get out, get out, get out, get out, on the ground, all of you on the ground now, get on the ground, get on the ground, don't move.
00:29:11.800
Like I said, I'm just, I'm a sucker for these kinds of videos.
00:29:14.000
So that was the, that was the tribal police in Nevada dealing with climate protesters who were blocking the highway.
00:29:20.600
And as you can see, they just ram right through the barricade.
00:29:23.920
They throw the protesters on the ground, cuff them, drag them off while they cry and whine.
00:29:35.220
And there are a bunch of other videos like this from different angles.
00:29:46.140
And the great thing is that the protesters themselves are the ones who filmed this and posted it, thinking that we would sympathize with them.
00:29:55.160
That we would watch this and go, look at what those mean police did.
00:30:01.160
Except, except that literally everyone who saw these videos said, wow, that's awesome.
00:30:07.080
And this is how cops should deal with these clowns everywhere.
00:30:12.300
No patience, no mercy, throw them in cuffs and drag them away.
00:30:17.100
Ram through the barricades and just deal with them like that.
00:30:23.320
And it's great because for one thing, okay, blocking the road is not nonviolent.
00:30:31.140
You're using your own bodies to impede the movements of thousands of people.
00:30:38.160
And you have no idea where those thousands of people are going or where they need to be.
00:30:43.160
They could be going to the hospital with a sick child.
00:30:46.840
Not to mention, you're trapping all these people in their cars in the heat out in the desert.
00:30:52.740
So, yeah, that's a violent act and it should be treated as such.
00:30:58.660
But notice something else and really take note of this.
00:31:03.360
Everybody loves the fact that these cops are just shutting these a-holes down.
00:31:10.860
There was a climate protester group called Climate Defiance and they posted that video that I just showed you
00:31:16.680
with an outraged caption that says, words fail, words utterly fail.
00:31:22.060
Today, a police truck plowed into a peaceful climate blockade.
00:31:26.380
These are the people entrusted to keep us safe.
00:31:29.120
These are the people we've granted a monopoly on the use of force.
00:31:34.920
And the thing is, every single comment responding to that post, every single one was like,
00:31:44.680
Okay, if you were to put this video in front of all 330 million people in the country,
00:31:50.280
it's guaranteed that at least 329,999,993 of them would love the video.
00:32:06.220
Well, because the average person is sick of this.
00:32:11.520
You know, I think like 10 years ago, maybe, that same exact video might get a slightly,
00:32:20.540
I think still most people would be on the side of the cops, but there might be a few more people
00:32:24.580
who would see that video 10 years ago and say, oh, that was a little excessive.
00:32:35.280
They're tired of these kinds of jerks interfering with your day for no reason.
00:32:41.320
They're tired of people who make your life harder and more miserable just because they can.
00:32:47.420
They're tired of the lack of accountability, the fact that people just do whatever they want
00:32:51.800
and the law is not enforced, they're sick of it.
00:32:57.160
And they're ready for some tough love, some rough and tumble.
00:33:05.100
And I think Republican politicians would do well to take note of that.
00:33:26.080
All right, I want to talk about, well, there's this Oliver Anthony thing.
00:33:31.180
Last week, Anthony, of course, I mean, of course, the guy that's behind the Richmond,
00:33:35.820
North of Richmond song, he put out a video, I think it was late last week,
00:33:42.640
And really seemed to sort of divide people on the right.
00:33:46.000
There are two camps now that when it comes to Oliver Anthony and especially this video,
00:33:53.340
let's watch the video first and then we'll talk about it.
00:33:55.740
If there is anything for me to address at all with you, it's that,
00:33:59.040
you know, it's the one thing that has bothered me
00:34:12.640
I'm disappointed to see, like, it's aggravating seeing people on conservative news
00:34:24.480
It's aggravating seeing certain musicians and politicians act like we're buddies and act like we're fighting the same struggle here,
00:34:34.700
like that we're trying to present the same message.
00:34:36.680
You know, I've had a lot of people reach out to me and I've tried to be polite to everybody and I've talked to hundreds of people the last two weeks.
00:34:48.900
It seems like certain people want to just ride the attention of this song to maybe make their own selves relevant.
00:34:56.700
The other thing that I find aggravating is, well, you know, like, it was funny seeing my song in the,
00:35:05.480
it was fun, it was funny seeing it at the presidential debate.
00:35:08.520
Because it's like, I wrote that song about those people, you know?
00:35:12.820
So for them to have to sit there and listen to that, that cracks me up.
00:35:19.840
But it was funny kind of seeing the response to it.
00:35:22.260
Like, that song has nothing to do with Joe Biden, you know?
00:35:29.020
that song is written about the people on that stage.
00:35:34.980
And a lot more too, not just them, but, but definitely them.
00:35:39.440
Okay, now Anthony has come out and clarified his political stance since that video,
00:35:44.100
kind of restating that he's a centrist and that he said it's, it's, the song's not about Joe Biden, but,
00:35:49.960
but, well, it's not just about Joe Biden, he meant.
00:35:54.220
It's about, you know, it's bigger than Joe Biden and all that.
00:35:57.320
Which, of course, the problem is bigger than Joe Biden.
00:35:59.340
Um, but what he says in the video is interesting because it, it seems to have divided conservatives.
00:36:05.780
And there are some who say that they like the guy even more now, uh, that he, he,
00:36:09.780
this just makes him more, even more real and authentic and anti-establishment and all the rest of it.
00:36:16.800
And then there are others who say that Anthony is trying to distance himself from conservatives,
00:36:20.580
that he's basically throwing his own fan base under the bus to appease the left.
00:36:31.680
First, to Anthony's credit, or in his defense, I guess,
00:36:35.160
um, he never planned to become nationally known overnight.
00:36:39.360
Um, he obviously wasn't prepared for the fame because you really can't be prepared for it until you have it.
00:36:44.880
And for him, he went from, he went from like very not famous, right?
00:36:48.500
He went from very obscure to famous in, in 24 hours.
00:36:55.260
Um, and even if it happens over the span of, uh, you know, if you climb up the ladder of fame over the course of years,
00:37:00.740
it still is, it's still, you get to a certain point where it's, it's, there's not, you know,
00:37:06.020
there's no guidebook that you can really read that will tell you how to navigate it.
00:37:11.260
Um, there are a lot of people, you know, there are publicists and consultants and whatever else,
00:37:15.860
you know, whatever people that, that claim that they're the experts.
00:37:18.660
And so, and then some of them are, are good, you know, do have good advice and others don't.
00:37:23.640
Um, but even being able to navigate that and know who you should listen to and who you shouldn't listen to,
00:37:27.860
again, there really isn't, it's just, you're kind of, you feel like you're on your own.
00:37:31.160
So, um, so he's dealing with that and that's, and that's bewildering and overwhelming.
00:37:55.860
Okay, we, we shouldn't want musicians to be political pundits.
00:38:00.100
And if a musician comes along that has a, and he has a message that resonates with people on the right,
00:38:04.520
it's very much a mistake to take that guy and insist that he become a Fox News pundit.
00:38:14.240
Uh, we don't need, we don't need to have him defending some party line, right?
00:38:23.520
They should just be, uh, uh, you know, uh, they, they should be engaged with their art.
00:38:32.980
So that's on the one hand, on the other hand, uh, look, nobody cares if Oliver Anthony is
00:38:44.320
Nobody criticizes Republicans more than conservatives.
00:38:52.720
But just to be totally honest, when he says that he's aggravated by people in quote, conservative
00:39:00.180
news, I guess there are various ways of interpreting that, but that would seem to me very much to
00:39:07.180
be a reference to the people who gave him a platform to begin with people who, um, you
00:39:14.680
know, people who connected his song to other people.
00:39:19.480
Now people connected with the song because it's a good song and that's all on him.
00:39:23.200
He made a good song, but they heard it to begin with because of conservative media and
00:39:32.020
Prior to that, Oliver Anthony had an audience of basically no one on YouTube.
00:39:37.240
Um, and that's just a fact, you know, he, he wouldn't have an audience without the conservative
00:39:44.120
media personalities that he is now aggravated by.
00:39:49.660
And I admit, I tend to think, uh, you know, like a thank you is perhaps more in order than
00:39:59.540
But what, what really rubbed me the wrong way most of all is not even that when he says
00:40:03.180
musicians, he throws musicians into that and he says, I'm aggravated by the musicians
00:40:08.540
Like who, which musicians are you referring to?
00:40:13.020
Because only, only a very, very, very few prominent musicians ever acknowledged that the
00:40:21.380
I mean, John Rich is the only one I could even think of.
00:40:23.640
There might've been a few others, but, uh, and, and John Rich was not pretending to be
00:40:29.680
He was, he was trying to help him get his music out.
00:40:31.740
Um, almost all the other musicians just never said a single word about Oliver Anthony at
00:40:40.100
So, and the few who did were complimenting him and supporting him.
00:40:43.960
And he's saying that he's aggravated by them, which is interesting.
00:40:48.160
And finally, he says that he's aggravated by the fact that the song was played at the Republican
00:40:53.900
Well, you know, an interesting fact here is that Fox called him and asked for permission
00:41:01.940
And we know that because the Fox anchors who were the moderators have said that they said
00:41:05.500
they got permission, but even if they didn't say that, we already know anyone who knows
00:41:08.380
how these things work already knows, you know, when I heard it, that heard it playing at the
00:41:13.520
debate myself, I immediately knew that, that Oliver Anthony approved that because of copyright
00:41:18.080
And they're not going to just play the song without permission.
00:41:20.480
I mean, they could, but, but they're probably not going to, they're going to get the,
00:41:26.960
And so he approved the song being played and then said he's aggravated by it and then said
00:41:35.260
he doesn't want the song, the song politicized and he approved it being played at a political
00:41:43.500
You know, I, I do think he seems to be playing sort of both sides of the fence a little bit.
00:41:54.240
It's, it's never made less sense to be a political centrist than it does today.
00:41:59.920
When the, when the two sides are so fundamentally opposed on the fundamental realities of life,
00:42:05.820
there really is no middle ground on these issues.
00:42:09.460
An issue like, for example, is a woman, can a woman be a man or not?
00:42:20.700
Um, so centrism, it makes no sense, but, but I don't care about that.
00:42:26.180
You know, if you're a musician and you say you're a centrist, whatever, who cares?
00:42:31.460
Um, it's the, what could be perceived as throwing people who've helped and supported you under
00:42:42.720
But then again, you know, the guy doesn't have a PR firm helping him through this.
00:43:00.080
Rock legend, Carlos Santana had some, had some choice words at a concert last week.
00:43:09.720
And then we'll talk about what happened after this, but go ahead.
00:43:19.760
When God made you and me, before we came out of the womb, you know who you are and what
00:43:27.600
Later on, when you grow up and you see things and you start believing that you could be something
00:43:40.860
that it sounds good, but you know, it ain't right because a woman is a woman and a man is
00:43:51.200
Whatever you want to do in the closet, that's your business.
00:44:04.840
I am like this with my brother, Dave Chappelle.
00:44:21.200
And notice, notice the reaction from the crowd.
00:44:25.180
Everyone's cheering him, which I think tells you where the culture is right now.
00:44:33.260
How many days before he issues the inevitable apology to the trans community for making these
00:44:43.780
Well, it turns out if you said one day, then you were exactly right.
00:44:52.000
From the Daily Wire, rock legend Carlos Santana issued an apology this week after a clip of
00:44:56.160
him went viral from a concert where he said, a woman is a woman, a man is a man, that's
00:45:01.380
The 76-year-old guitarist said in a post on social media, quote, I'm sorry for my insensitive
00:45:06.380
They don't reflect that I want to honor and respect all persons' ideals and beliefs.
00:45:10.680
I realized that what I said hurt people, and that was not my intent.
00:45:14.500
I sincerely apologize to the transgender community and everyone I offended.
00:45:18.200
I want to honor and respect all persons' ideals and beliefs, whether they're LGBTQ or not.
00:45:23.100
This is the planet of free will, and we've all been given this gift.
00:45:25.800
It takes courage to grow and glow in the light that you are, and to be true, genuine, and
00:45:31.400
We grow and learn to shine our light with love and compliments.
00:45:40.260
Now, they posted that on Facebook, and it appeared, I think, that it was deleted shortly
00:45:48.480
And so, as far as I know, right now, it's still on Facebook.
00:45:52.000
And maybe there are people that want to give Carlos Santana the benefit of the doubt and
00:45:58.140
say that, oh, this must have been the publicist again.
00:46:07.500
I certainly wouldn't buy it in this case, especially because that statement did not
00:46:16.460
It came off like an aging rock musician issuing an apology.
00:46:25.460
And maybe having been given some bullet points from some publicists who said, you need to
00:46:35.320
apologize, and here are some points you need to make when you apologize.
00:46:38.380
And then he kind of, because he starts rambling at a certain point about love and compliments
00:46:51.660
And I don't know what's more depressing, the fact of the apology or the fact that we all
00:47:06.540
Of course, anytime somebody speaks out and then apologizes for speaking truth, it's always
00:47:16.340
This is far worse than never saying anything at all.
00:47:19.380
And that's why I always say, look, if you don't have the guts to stand by your words, then
00:47:32.500
Now, I think everyone should speak out and speak the truth and stand by the truth boldly
00:47:41.800
But if you don't have the guts, then just don't say anything.
00:47:54.080
It's so much worse and so much more damaging when you say the truth and then apologize for
00:48:01.300
And you do so immediately, which tells me that you weren't prepared.
00:48:06.300
It's not even like somebody says something that's true and then they get the left descends
00:48:14.860
upon them and rips them to shreds and ruins their lives and their livelihood.
00:48:19.380
And, you know, a month later, they come out because they've just everything's been destroyed.
00:48:26.060
And then they finally apologize because they're desperate and they've had enough.
00:48:33.280
I mean, I would still condemn that as cowardice.
00:48:35.280
But that would at least be better than this when it's like a day late, 12 hours later.
00:48:42.460
So you weren't prepared to withstand any criticism of your statements.
00:48:48.640
Just the first criticism you get, the first time one trans activist says, you know, that's
00:48:56.240
In that first moment, you go, oh, you think that?
00:49:00.820
But if that if you are that spineless, then just don't say anything.
00:49:07.680
But in this guy's case in particular, you're 76 years old and you're rich.
00:49:13.220
I don't know what his net worth is, but it's got to be tens of millions.
00:49:26.380
You're playing to crowds who agree with what you said, clearly, based on the reaction from
00:49:36.060
Why would, of all the people who might care what others say about them or what trans activists
00:49:42.580
That is what is so kind of demoralizing, is that we need, you know, there are, when it
00:49:53.300
comes in particular to trans ideology, there are so many people that know that it's wrong.
00:50:02.180
And of all the people that know that it's wrong, there are certain people who are in a position
00:50:06.160
where they can speak out against it and they really risk nothing.
00:50:09.220
They have nothing, nothing is on the line, really.
00:50:11.660
Because they're in a position, either because of their fame or their wealth or whatever,
00:50:16.320
or their age or a combination of factors where there's really nothing that anyone can take
00:50:22.400
And so those people should be the first ones speaking out.
00:50:26.960
I mean, J.K. Rowling is pretty much the only one who said, well, she said, I've got a billion
00:50:34.860
I'm rich enough to live, you know, a million years.
00:50:45.220
And every time they complain, that's kind of her response back to them.
00:50:55.060
But there are so many more who could be in her.
00:50:57.260
It might not have a billion dollars, but they are, you know, in a position where they could
00:51:03.380
So pretty pathetic, but it's what we're used to at this point.

A prominent author named Andrea Bartz reignited a familiar conversation over the weekend when
00:53:04.180
she tweeted about the joys of being, quote, child-free.
00:53:08.520
And she's first quoting people on the other side.
00:53:11.360
She says, child-free people will never experience the joy of watching their child touch grass
00:53:16.600
And she responds to that by saying, okay, but do parents know the joy of being 37 and
00:53:20.300
sleeping in and drinking coffee in silence and then leaving the house on a moment's notice
00:53:26.360
Every few months we get another attempt by a childless woman.
00:53:29.020
It is almost always a woman to try and convince us that it's actually a great idea to live
00:53:34.060
only for yourself and die by yourself and make yourself into an ancestral dead end, leaving
00:53:41.460
And every once in a while, the woman making this case is someone other than Chelsea Handler.
00:53:45.520
But whether it's Chelsea Handler or not, the argument is always effectively the same.
00:53:50.180
If you don't have kids, you can sleep in, relax, drink coffee in peace, leave the house whenever
00:53:54.200
you want, and enjoy conveniences and luxuries that are beyond the reach of people with
00:53:59.580
Now, the first and most obvious response to this kind of claim is that it's simply untrue.
00:54:06.680
Parents can and do know what it's like to do all of those things, sleep in, drink coffee
00:54:13.140
We know because we experienced those things before we had kids.
00:54:16.860
And once our kids get older, we'll have just as much access to them as Andrea Bartz does.
00:54:22.160
In fact, all of the luxuries she mentions really only become difficult when you have young
00:54:28.060
And this is almost always the case when child-free, quote-unquote, people talk about what they
00:54:32.340
imagine the irritations and sufferings of parents must be.
00:54:35.280
They're almost always talking about parenting young children.
00:54:39.380
If your kids are, say, 10 or older, however, there's no reason why you can't sleep in or
00:54:44.360
enjoy silence in your home or even leave the house without much hassle.
00:54:47.820
So if these things do fall out of reach, it's only for, in most cases, maybe a 10-year window
00:54:56.580
In my case, the window's a little bit longer because we have 87 kids.
00:55:02.640
And even when you have young kids, even if you have 87 young kids, you can still experience
00:55:12.460
You have to get the grandparents to watch the kids so you can spend a few days just with
00:55:17.000
There are many ways to orchestrate some relaxation time, no matter how many kids you have and
00:55:22.180
You just have to put in some effort and some planning and be intentional to make those sorts
00:55:28.000
In fact, I would argue that only parents of young kids can experience those joys, however
00:55:34.060
Sure, a 37-year-old woman without kids can wake up late in the morning and have a cup of
00:55:37.400
coffee in silence, but this is not any great treat for her.
00:55:43.740
I had many quiet cups of coffee before I had kids, but I didn't find actual joy in those
00:55:53.460
Yeah, I admit I don't get very many quiet moments at this stage of my life, but when I do get
00:55:58.920
a single moment like that, I guarantee I enjoy it a thousand times more than Andrea has enjoyed
00:56:05.960
So she has me beat on quantity, but I'm winning on quality.
00:56:09.960
It's a simple and perhaps kind of depressing reality of the human condition that we can't
00:56:17.640
really appreciate something unless we've experienced its opposite.
00:56:22.360
You know, unless you have something to compare it to, you can't really appreciate it.
00:56:26.640
You can't really enjoy being full unless you've been really hungry.
00:56:30.260
You can't enjoy lying in bed unless you've been very tired.
00:56:33.540
You can't really enjoy walking out of the house without hassle unless you've actually
00:56:38.000
experienced trying to walk out of the house with a gaggle of small children who can't find
00:56:42.940
their shoes, their jackets, and are wearing clothing that has somehow become filthy and
00:56:46.720
stained in the 30 minutes since you put it on them.
00:56:51.100
If you've experienced that, then yes, in the moments when you get to walk out of the house
00:56:54.620
and everything's fine, you go, wow, that's a relief.
00:56:56.640
What this means is that only people with children can actually experience the kinds of joys that
00:57:03.400
are supposedly only available to people without them.
00:57:06.560
Life has an ironic way about it, you know, in that way.
00:57:10.700
Besides, when it comes to quiet, you know, not all moments of quiet are made the same.
00:57:16.760
So for example, last night at, you know, about 10 o'clock, Andrea Bartz, I assume, was most
00:57:23.480
likely in her house alone, wherever she lives, and I'm sure it was very quiet, and I was in
00:57:29.980
my house where I live, and it was also very quiet, but it was a full kind of quiet.
00:57:34.640
It was a warm quiet, not an empty and cold quiet.
00:57:42.440
I checked on them, tucked them back in, and then I sat on my couch and I read a book.
00:57:47.520
The house was as quiet as a house can get, just as it is every night, even though it was
00:57:53.320
So we were both relaxing in the silence, but mine was not a solitary silence.
00:57:57.820
Mine was the silence you get after you tuck your children into bed and kiss them goodnight.
00:58:02.580
Hers was the silence that you get when you have no children to tuck in and nobody to kiss
00:58:09.860
I'll take both my loud and my quiet, my noise and my silence.
00:58:15.240
There's joy available in both, and I think to a much greater degree.
00:58:20.980
And I made this point before, but I think it's worth repeating because it's something
00:58:24.500
that, quote, child-free advocates seem to miss.
00:58:27.840
I think many people miss it in many contexts in modern society.
00:58:31.580
Now, they're correct when they point out that parenting brings all kinds of challenges that
00:58:38.520
might cause parents to feel irritated and overwhelmed.
00:58:42.100
There's plenty in parenthood that can cause real suffering.
00:58:46.900
It's also true that some parents are never happy.
00:58:53.180
There are parents like that, no doubt about it.
00:58:57.420
And their kids will rightly grow to hate them for being so miserable, which will only heap
00:59:05.100
But that's because the joy of parenthood is available, but it's not imposed on us against
00:59:12.800
It will not sprinkle down on us like rain from the clouds.
00:59:15.660
It's made available, but you have to choose to experience it.
00:59:26.600
You can take joy in those hectic mornings when your house is full of life and noise and energy.
00:59:36.280
Or you can focus on the fact that you can't drink a cup of coffee in peace.
00:59:39.840
You can pay attention to what you aren't getting, what you can't do.
00:59:45.100
Or you can pay attention to the beauty in those moments.
00:59:48.600
That's how you take the joy that's available or not.
00:59:59.480
But a lot of times people say, no, because I'd rather be focused on this thing that annoys
01:00:04.660
Now, this is about as self-helpy as you'll ever hear me sound, but there's an important
01:00:08.400
point in it, which is that literally all of the joys of a child-free, quote-unquote,
01:00:12.820
life are absolutely available to those with children.
01:00:16.420
You just might have to work a little harder to get them, or you might have to wait a little
01:00:22.360
But the joys of parenthood are absolutely not available to those who are not parents.
01:00:28.740
It's a whole category, an entire genre of joy that is out of reach for the childless.
01:00:36.240
Whether they want to choose it or not, it's just not available.
01:00:45.140
And I'm just trying to convey to anyone who's hesitant to have kids because they're worried
01:00:49.440
that they'll be unhappy, that you'll only be unhappy if you choose to be.
01:00:54.400
But a whole new level of happiness will be open to you if you choose that instead.
01:01:00.580
That's what Andrea Bartz and so many others who brag about being, quote, child-free don't
01:01:07.380
And that's why they are today, again, canceled.
