The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1272 - World Leaders Plot Ways To Destroy Civilization At Climate Summit

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matwell Show, a snowstorm caused some problems for world leaders on their way

00:00:04.060 to a climate summit to talk about the dangers of global warming. The irony is obvious and

00:00:08.380 hilarious, but the underlying agenda isn't nearly as funny. Also, a new study shows that

00:00:12.600 patients who get quote unquote gender affirming care still struggle with mental problems after

00:00:17.220 this treatment. No surprise there. And a trans YouTuber tries to shame a guy at a pizza shop

00:00:21.640 for misgendering him. Plus, a black journalist writes a lengthy article recounting all of the

00:00:26.060 racism he has allegedly experienced over the years. It's incredibly whiny and self-pitying

00:00:30.500 even by the media standards. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matwell Show.

00:00:56.060 As the holiday season unfolds, it's a time of joy, gratitude, and reflection. In the midst of the

00:01:04.840 festivities, consider taking a moment to reflect on the digital footprint that accompanies you

00:01:08.860 throughout this season. Think about all the information on your phone from anything you

00:01:12.240 search, your location, to the websites you shop at, and more. Companies can then legally gather

00:01:17.020 this information and sell your data for profit. That's why you need to do what I do and keep your

00:01:21.180 data private with ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN is an app on your phone or computer that encrypts all of

00:01:25.800 your online traffic, so whatever you do stays private. If you think incognito mode will stop

00:01:30.480 people from tracking your online activity, think again. When you read the fine print that appears

00:01:34.360 when you start browsing in incognito mode, it says that your activity might still be invisible to your

00:01:38.680 employer, your school, or your internet service provider. Without ExpressVPN, every site you visit

00:01:42.760 could be logged by the admin of that network. We love using ExpressVPN because of how easy it is to use.

00:01:47.920 The app has one button. Once you turn it on, you're protected from prying eyes. It's as simple

00:01:52.880 as that. The Daily Wire has partnered with ExpressVPN to get you a special holiday offer. Go to

00:02:29.940 every prediction that's ever been made by climate activists has turned out to be completely false,

00:02:34.140 but for the most part, all along, there's one thing these activists have been smart enough to do,

00:02:39.480 which is they've typically made predictions that were pretty far out into the future. They didn't say

00:02:43.760 anything that could be proven wrong within a couple of months. They knew enough to create

00:02:48.620 some distance between their prediction and the day that you could theoretically point to that

00:02:53.200 prediction and say, well, that didn't pan out. And there are a lot of examples of this phenomenon.

00:02:57.780 There's Leonard Nimoy, aka Mr. Spock, claiming in a 1978 television special that, quote,

00:03:04.120 during the lifetime of our grandchildren, Arctic cold and perpetual snow could turn most of the

00:03:09.460 inhabitable portions of our planet into a polar desert. That TV special was called The Coming

00:03:14.840 Ice Age. And of course, by the time Mr. Spock's prediction was falsified, he was near death. So no

00:03:20.800 one was going to hold him accountable or say, I told you so when he was on his deathbed, which I guess

00:03:25.740 is sort of understandable. Then there was that infamous 1989 article from the Associated Press citing

00:03:30.800 a senior UN environmental official saying that, quote, entire nations could be wiped off the face of

00:03:36.960 the earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.

00:03:43.200 Now, again, they're putting some distance between the prediction and the time when you can prove that

00:03:47.860 the prediction was wrong. A NASA scientist did the same thing in 2006 when he told NBC News that,

00:03:52.520 quote, the world has a 10-year window of opportunity to take decisive action on global warming

00:03:56.860 and avert catastrophe. More recently, of course, Greta Thunberg got in on the action in 2018 when she

00:04:03.020 claimed that, quote, a top climate scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of

00:04:07.680 humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years. Now, in all these cases, the

00:04:14.040 climate predictions weren't even close to being true. Reality disproved all of them. But it took time

00:04:20.380 for these predictions to age out and become clearly false. Most cultists are smart enough to design their

00:04:26.540 claims so that they sound highly alarming at the time. And then by the time that you can validate those

00:04:31.240 claims years later, most people have forgotten about the whole thing. And they've moved on to

00:04:35.760 making different claims that are farther in the future still. A couple of months ago, there was a

00:04:40.060 very notable exception to this general rule. There was a cult leader who slipped up and made a prediction

00:04:45.960 that could be proven wrong very quickly. I'm talking about the prediction from our climate czar,

00:04:51.280 John Kerry. And here's what he said this summer.

00:04:54.460 The climate crisis is growing by the day. You just saw and have reported on what happened in New York.

00:04:59.960 All around the world, there are record breaking days where the heat is greater than it's ever

00:05:05.620 been before. This will be the hottest June and July. It'll be the hottest summer. It'll be the

00:05:11.360 hottest year. And we all know that because the science is telling it to us and because Mother

00:05:15.700 Earth is responding by telling us exactly what's going on. Now, we've already established in the

00:05:21.660 past that, of course, it was never going to be true that it's the hottest year on record. That's

00:05:25.940 an absurd claim. Or even, you know, what they've actually said is it's the hottest year period for

00:05:31.100 the planet Earth, which even if that was true, there would be no possible way to verify that

00:05:37.860 because we don't have records of what the temperature was on a daily basis going back

00:05:42.420 thousands and millions of years. But if you try to fact check that claim from John Kerry,

00:05:46.980 you'll find a bunch of articles declaring that he was right. They'll say this is indeed the hottest

00:05:50.560 year ever. And that's all because Mother Earth doesn't like your truck or your grill or the way

00:05:56.020 you vote. None of these articles will mention the recent volcanic eruption in the Pacific Ocean,

00:06:00.900 which we've talked about that blasted a huge plume of water vapor into the atmosphere. They won't tell

00:06:05.300 you how that likely trapped heat and raised the global temperatures. Instead, they'll blame you for

00:06:10.200 all the heat. And what's funny about this premise is that if we accept it as completely true for the

00:06:15.220 sake of argument that humans caused all this, then humans must also be responsible for the

00:06:19.980 extremely cold temperatures that are also being recorded this year. In some cases, we're being

00:06:24.180 told record cold temperatures. Turns out it hasn't been hot everywhere, contrary to what John Kerry

00:06:29.660 says. So take a look at what's happening in Europe right now. According to an article from yesterday

00:06:34.320 in Reuters, for example, quote, temperatures in Siberia dipped to minus 56 Celsius as record snow

00:06:41.120 blankets Moscow in the Russian capital. Some of the biggest snowfalls ever seen on scene on December 3rd

00:06:47.080 left swaths of Moscow blanketed in drifts of more than 35 centimeters of snow in just one day.

00:06:53.460 Now, most of Central and Eastern Europe was like that last week. They've never seen snow like this

00:07:00.300 in recorded history. This is supposedly the hottest year ever recorded, and they're experiencing record

00:07:05.540 snowfall. But it gets better, because if you want decisive proof that irony is still alive despite

00:07:10.820 every effort by the left to quash it forever, here it is. The snow was so bad last week that in Munich,

00:07:17.980 the airport was completely covered in snow. Private planes were immobilized, and in some cases,

00:07:23.960 frozen in what looks like a kind of a takeoff position, because snow stacked up on their tail

00:07:29.140 sections. And reportedly, some of these planes were supposed to head to the COP28 climate summit,

00:07:35.240 which is underway right now in Dubai. So you couldn't script it any better. Here's what the

00:07:40.220 airport looked like in Munich just a couple of days ago.

00:07:50.040 So private jets are frozen on their way to the climate summit, where the owners of the jets want

00:07:54.980 to lecture you about the evils of global warming. It's kind of like, you know, it's like a dietician

00:07:59.980 being late to a weight loss seminar because his car broke down in the Taco Bell drive-thru.

00:08:05.240 It's just too much irony. The climate evangelists have gone full circle once again, headlong into

00:08:10.720 self-parody. Now, in the interest of full disclosure, even though it kind of ruins the joke,

00:08:14.800 I should clarify that this particular plane that you saw in the video, that, you know,

00:08:18.840 it's been making the rounds on social media, that we don't know for a fact whether that particular

00:08:24.100 plane was heading to the COP28 summit. According to some internet sleuths who looked at this aircraft

00:08:28.760 and its registration number, it was parked for several days before this storm arrived,

00:08:33.080 so we don't really know. But we can assume, given the wide impact of this torrential snowstorm all

00:08:37.720 across Europe, that some travel plans for this COP28 summit were indeed disrupted. And that is,

00:08:44.620 among other things, both deeply ironic and extremely hilarious. It's also not the first time

00:08:49.640 something like this has happened. In fact, it's happened quite a bit. You can go all the way back

00:08:53.140 to March of 2009 when these nutjobs were still using the term global warming instead of climate

00:08:59.320 change. And they held a big rally in the nation's capital. They were there to complain about how hot

00:09:04.200 the world was getting, because apparently warming climates is always a bad thing, even though it

00:09:08.980 often makes it easier to farm in huge portions of the world and has many other benefits. But never

00:09:12.980 mind that. These climate activists gathered in Washington, D.C. to send the message that the

00:09:17.300 world was getting way too hot. And if you don't recall this, right on cue, a historic snowstorm

00:09:22.900 completely shut down the whole protest. Let's watch that and remember together.

00:09:29.060 On behalf of the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi and Democratic leadership, I want to say

00:09:34.120 thank you for bringing the reinforcements around the country so we can get the job done this year.

00:09:44.100 We've been corrupted by this dirty, filthy industry.

00:09:47.400 How come we can't do this event in August when it's nice and warm out?

00:09:50.560 I have no answer for that question.

00:09:54.720 Do you think we should try to make this event like in August, when it's really warm?

00:09:59.120 Well, August in D.C. is pretty miserable as well.

00:10:01.520 That's what I'm saying. So then you could give in to every congressman to support global warming

00:10:05.660 legislation. Don't you think that they should maybe do this in more temperate climates?

00:10:10.880 Well, it was warm when we got here.

00:10:12.720 Right.

00:10:13.140 And I would hope that our politicians really understand that weather is different from climate.

00:10:18.300 Right. And just because you have a snowstorm doesn't mean that global warming isn't happening.

00:10:22.460 We have to admit, it sort of screws up the photo a little bit.

00:10:24.840 It kind of, yeah. It's kind of ironic.

00:10:26.840 Do you think it would be a better idea to do this in August?

00:10:29.840 Maybe. It's a little chilly right now.

00:10:31.840 I mean, it's burning in August in D.C.

00:10:32.460 We're from Vermont. And so we're used to this weather.

00:10:39.000 I bet the majority of these people are actually happy about the weather because then it gives

00:10:44.000 them an opportunity to show how, you know, devoted they are to the cause.

00:10:48.120 There was so much snow that the solar panels on Greenpeace's truck were totally snowed over.

00:10:54.660 So the solar panels on the Greenpeace truck, which read America can stop global warming,

00:10:59.680 were frozen over, I guess proving that we can. I don't know.

00:11:04.040 And it's a remarkable clip for so many reasons.

00:11:05.900 For example, you also heard the now familiar retort from one of the climate activists in

00:11:10.260 that clip. And she insists that, quote, weather is different from climate.

00:11:14.140 Just because you have a snowstorm doesn't mean the warming isn't happening.

00:11:16.540 And that's an important line. And again, a very familiar one.

00:11:19.160 We hear this all the time now, that weather is not the same as climate.

00:11:23.240 So when we talk about climate change, you can't, it's not about weather.

00:11:26.620 But that's totally false. Of course, the literal dictionary definition of climate is

00:11:32.660 the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general over a long period.

00:11:37.900 So that's, climate is the prevailing weather conditions. That's what the climate is.

00:11:42.140 So saying that weather is different from climate, it's like saying water is different from H2O.

00:11:46.540 It just doesn't even make any sense. And to the extent that it does make sense, it's not true.

00:11:51.180 And you can tell the woman doesn't really believe it. You can tell she has no idea what it's

00:11:54.200 supposed to mean because she laughs, you know, a few seconds later about what she's saying.

00:11:59.980 But it lets her reconcile the fact that her beliefs are being contradicted by reality right in

00:12:04.720 front of her. Gives her something to say in a desperate attempt to avoid complete humiliation.

00:12:10.180 And that clip, in retrospect, belongs in kind of a time capsule because it marked one of the last

00:12:14.160 times that climate activists would ever talk about global warming with a straight face again.

00:12:20.560 That was sort of the end of global warming, unofficially. And they transitioned very soon

00:12:26.060 afterwards to exclusively talking about climate change instead of global warming. And the reason

00:12:31.200 is obvious. Climate change gives them a catch-all that they can always blame in any context. They

00:12:36.180 don't have to risk any more embarrassing photo ops where they're whining about global warming as

00:12:40.280 they're being pummeled by snow. When the villain is climate change, then you can complain whether

00:12:45.440 it's hot or snowy or doesn't matter. Whatever is happening, it proves your claim. That's the

00:12:51.080 advantage of talking about climate instead of warming. Climate change is proven no matter what

00:12:56.120 happens. It is unfalsifiable, which is also why it's false. Unfalsifiable theories are at best

00:13:02.880 useless theories but are also false. So this is how it's gone. From ice age to global warming to

00:13:09.140 climate change, getting broader and less specific with each change. According to NASA, quote,

00:13:15.000 global warming became the dominant popular term in June 1988 when NASA scientist James E. Hansen

00:13:19.840 testified to Congress about climate, specifically referring to global warming. But then people

00:13:24.780 started to notice that it was getting colder than it had ever been before. In 1994, for example,

00:13:29.440 the Midwestern and eastern portions of the country experienced a cold wave that caused more than 100

00:13:33.580 deaths. The country saw its coldest temperatures in nearly a century. So once again, the lexicon had

00:13:39.080 to change. As CNN reports, the term climate change, quote, became more popular in the 2000s.

00:13:45.220 The point of all these changes isn't just to save face. With every change, activists give themselves

00:13:50.700 more latitude to justify all of their other political goals in the name of saving the environment.

00:13:57.760 At the COP28 summit the other day, John Kerry pledged to shut down all coal power plants anywhere in the

00:14:04.020 world, except presumably China, which is constantly opening new coal plants every week,

00:14:07.940 which doesn't remotely care what John Kerry says about anything. Now, John Kerry's plan would destroy

00:14:13.900 the world economy. It would do precisely nothing to stop the climate from changing because the climate

00:14:19.640 is always going to change. But you're supposed to think that it's a reasonable thing to do because

00:14:24.680 we're in a climate emergency. Everything's on the table. Hillary Clinton has been doing her part to

00:14:29.920 sound the alarm about this fake emergency. Recently, she insisted that climate change is somehow

00:14:34.900 killing people due to extreme heat. And here's her claim. Listen, we're seeing and beginning to pay

00:14:43.000 attention and to count and record the deaths that are related to climate. And by far, the biggest killer

00:14:49.960 is extreme heat. I mean, even in Europe last summer, which has the ability to count and figure out what

00:14:59.140 happened, they recorded 61,000 deaths because of the heat in Europe. We don't have that kind of number yet from Africa,

00:15:10.240 Asia, Latin America. But we know and estimate that we probably could measure about 500,000 deaths. And the majority of

00:15:19.980 those are women and girls and particularly pregnant women. Now, just as a factual matter, just, you know,

00:15:27.360 none of that is true. It's not even close. Extreme cold kills far more people than extreme heat. Just to give

00:15:32.840 one data point, according to The Lancet, there were roughly 800 deaths due to heat in England and Wales

00:15:38.780 between 2000 and 2019. By contrast, there were more than 60,000 deaths associated with extreme cold.

00:15:44.940 And Forbes reports that in this country, quote, the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics

00:15:49.720 compressed mortality database, which is based on actual death certificates, indicates that roughly

00:15:54.040 twice as many people die of cold in a given year than of heat. This is kind of obvious when you think

00:15:58.720 about it. Someone exposed to cold can develop hypothermia literally within minutes. In most cases,

00:16:06.040 the heat will not affect you that quickly or at all. Even in like 90 degree temperatures, if you find a

00:16:10.420 shady spot and have enough water to drink, you can lay around outside all day and be perfectly fine.

00:16:15.040 Actually, it'd be quite pleasant. But the point of what Hillary Clinton was saying wasn't really about

00:16:19.740 extreme heat or extreme cold. Her goal is to convince you that a lot of people are dying due to the

00:16:24.480 climate. Effectively, that's like saying a lot of people are dying due to the fact that they live on

00:16:29.460 planet Earth, by the way. I mean, it's completely meaningless. Talking about deaths related to climate is

00:16:34.620 like talking about deaths related to physical existence. It's a category so broad as to be

00:16:41.280 incoherent. But you're just supposed to buy into it and smile and wave as hordes of so-called climate

00:16:47.880 refugees flood into this country, which is really what this is all about for her. Our public health

00:16:53.820 establishment, meanwhile, wants to use climate change to explain away the next fake pandemic,

00:16:58.460 which they can use to gain even more control over your life. Here's the TV expert, Dr.

00:17:02.600 Peter Hotez, explaining that climate change could be responsible for the next COVID. Watch.

00:17:08.880 Why are we seeing so many pandemics?

00:17:11.620 It's one of the most common questions I've asked is it's a confluence of 21st century forces.

00:17:17.580 A big one is climate change, which is altering the migration of animals that can transmit these

00:17:23.960 viral pathogens.

00:17:26.360 Yes, we're experiencing pandemics. It's a good thing they didn't experience pandemics back,

00:17:29.440 you know, historically, like all those people during the Black Death. So pandemics are a new

00:17:35.900 thing because of climate change. Now, whatever your political affiliation, there's always a

00:17:39.720 temptation to make arguments like this. Two decades ago, the establishment right made the same

00:17:43.400 arguments about the war on terror. They told us that terrorism was an existential threat, and

00:17:46.900 therefore we had to sign away our rights to FISA courts, which very soon would be used by the FBI

00:17:51.560 to harass and imprison their political opponents. And now the left is using climate change in much the

00:17:56.660 same way. It's an unkillable, ever-evolving enemy, and in order to combat it, we're told that we need

00:18:00.800 to destroy everything that's important to civilization. To that end, the Department of Agriculture in

00:18:05.640 Ireland recently considered a plan to kill 200,000 cows to reduce emissions. So they're thinking about

00:18:11.640 literal animal sacrifice to save the climate. Even though, by the climate alarmist's own standards,

00:18:17.220 by the way, Ireland barely emits any CO2 in the atmosphere at all in comparison to many other

00:18:21.980 countries. Now, if there's any distinction between climate alarmists and most cultists, it's that you

00:18:27.380 can only string most cultists along for so long. Historically, most cults, at least most apocalyptic

00:18:33.180 cults, disband once the cult predicts a doomsday and gives a specific date, then the date passes

00:18:38.740 without any asteroid impact or anything like that. But the climate cult is different. They can make

00:18:44.180 prediction after prediction, and even though they're all wrong, they get to keep making more predictions.

00:18:47.800 They get to keep flying in private jets to climate conferences where they lecture us on how to

00:18:51.700 behave, what cars to drive, what food to eat, what stoves to use, and so on. In the meantime,

00:18:56.780 the corporate press will defend them. A reporter for Axios, recently responding to criticism that

00:19:02.140 all of these private jets might harm the environment, wrote this on social media, quote,

00:19:06.920 to all those complaining about world leaders flying to attend a meeting on climate change,

00:19:10.320 you're not saying anything original. Fact is, you can't do a Zoom call with 190 countries,

00:19:15.260 and face-to-face talks move the needle the most. The Axios reporter never explains why a big

00:19:21.180 Zoom call wouldn't be possible exactly. He also never explains why some of these world leaders

00:19:26.440 can't fly on commercial planes. You're just supposed to accept it, because ultimately they

00:19:30.620 have the power and you don't, and that's the actual explanation. A couple of years ago,

00:19:35.520 at another climate summit, John Kerry himself made that basically explicit. Watch.

00:19:39.640 It's the only choice for somebody like me, the time it takes me to get somewhere. I can't sail across

00:19:45.860 the ocean. I have to fly to meet with people and get things done. But what I'm doing almost full time

00:19:52.080 is working to win the battle of climate change. It's the only choice for somebody like me,

00:19:58.900 says John Kerry, somebody like me. That's what it really comes down to. He's just too important

00:20:04.040 to follow the rules that you're supposed to obey. That's because the rules really have nothing to do

00:20:08.840 with the climate or with global warming or anything like that. The point of all the regulations is to

00:20:13.540 establish that people like John Kerry and his friends are superior. It's a hierarchy that they

00:20:19.540 are establishing. In the end, really, that's what all this has always been about. Now let's get to

00:20:26.220 our five headlines. Balance of Nature fruits and veggies are a great way to make sure you're

00:21:23.760 We have an important report here from the Daily Wire. It says trans-identifying people continue to

00:21:28.140 have mental health issues even after transgender medical treatment. A new study out of Finland shows,

00:21:33.240 despite what advocates claim, many people who undergo transgender medical treatment continue to

00:21:37.880 need significant psychiatric treatment afterwards, according to the peer-reviewed study conducted by

00:21:41.820 three Finnish researchers. The study appeared last month in the journal European Psychiatry,

00:21:46.800 which is published by Cambridge University Press. The researchers looked at 3,665 people who contacted

00:21:52.460 Finland's gender identity services between 1996 to 2019. The study says both before and after

00:22:00.140 contacting for services, they present with many more common psychiatric needs than do their matched

00:22:05.920 population controls, even when medical gender reassignment interventions are carried out. Patients are coming

00:22:12.060 in for transgender medical treatment at ever younger ages and with more psychiatric needs, the study said,

00:22:16.580 and their psychiatric needs persist regardless of treatment. Adolescents and girls in particular are

00:22:22.400 seeking out the treatments more often, the study noted. Researchers also noticed a marked increase in the

00:22:27.500 gender dysphoric group's psychiatric needs over time. The most common psychiatric problem was severe mood

00:22:33.600 disorders, which were more prevalent in the gender dysphoric group than the control group. The second most

00:22:38.640 common problem was anxiety disorders, which were about the same for both groups. Autism was also more common

00:22:43.960 among the gender dysphoric group. The study also found that people seeking transgender treatment

00:22:48.380 now tend to have more psychiatric issues than the people who sought out treatment in the 90s and early

00:22:53.000 2000s. So obviously none of this is remotely surprising. It's what I've always said from the beginning,

00:23:00.340 you know, that there, it's why I've said that there have not been very many reliable studies on the effects

00:23:07.180 of quote unquote gender affirming care because all of this is so new. But even without those studies,

00:23:13.240 we could know with absolute certainty that this kind of quote unquote care is a horrible idea and will have a

00:23:18.660 horrible impact on the patients or the victims as they should be called. We don't need the studies. We have common

00:23:25.520 sense. Like I, you know, I have read not one single study that measures the psychological impact of making your

00:23:34.600 child sleep outside in the doghouse for a month. Um, I haven't seen any study, any studies on that. I, as far

00:23:42.600 as I know, not one single study has ever proven that that would be a bad and harmful parenting strategy.

00:23:49.000 That's because we don't need studies on that. You don't need to study it.

00:23:52.000 We just know intuitively that treating your child like a dog is a very bad thing. And it is a very

00:23:59.780 horrific form of abuse and your child will suffer because of it. Nobody in their right mind would say,

00:24:05.520 well, I got to see a study on that. What do the studies say? Show me the data. Show me the data on

00:24:09.280 that. Just as we know intuitively or should know that having your child castrated and sterilized is

00:24:16.380 also a very horrific form of abuse that will cause all kinds of physical, emotional, and mental harm.

00:24:21.040 The studies are irrelevant. We don't need the studies. But now that we actually have some studies, we can see

00:24:28.740 all this borne out in the data. And, and here it is right in front of us. It turns out that when you take a

00:24:33.620 confused child and you try to physically change him to conform to his delusions, you will not solve any of his

00:24:40.860 psychological distress and delusions. Uh, you will not solve any of it. You'll just, in fact, create more distress and

00:24:46.880 that's all that's accomplished. Obviously, I mean, obviously that part is not a revelation. And if

00:24:54.480 it's a revelation to anyone, then, then that person is a extremely stupid to say the least. Now there are

00:25:02.000 some interesting details here though, in particular, I think the bit about how patients who come in for,

00:25:07.940 um, gender transitions have more psychiatric issues, uh, today than the ones who came in for this kind of

00:25:15.340 quote unquote treatment in the nineties. So that's a little bit interesting, but also not surprising.

00:25:21.100 Um, and I, I think it shows two things. First of all, in the nineties, the vast majority of people

00:25:27.100 who were going in to get gender transitions were autogynephilic men pursuing a sexual fantasy.

00:25:33.740 Um, they were obviously psychologically disturbed and had all kinds of mental problems,

00:25:37.500 but this was one very specific category. And a lot of these guys, uh, aren't even necessarily

00:25:43.580 delusional in the clinical sense. Like they don't actually think that they are women. They are just

00:25:48.940 aroused at the thought of being women. Again, that is, that's mentally disturbed and disturbing,

00:25:56.440 but it's not the same as a child who has been made to be actually deeply confused about the nature

00:26:02.700 of reality and of himself, which is what you have today. Also on the same note, gender dysphoria

00:26:09.880 has become a much broader category than it used to be. So you take all these other very broad

00:26:15.200 categories like anxiety and depression and mood disorders and a gender dysphoria is kind of built

00:26:21.140 out of those pieces, people with anxiety or depression. And by the way, every, you know,

00:26:28.020 everyone struggles with, that's why I don't like the phrase somebody has anxiety or has depression.

00:26:33.700 Everyone struggles with, with both of those things, but, um, somebody comes in and they're

00:26:38.640 struggling with that. And then it's suggested to them that gender dysphoria may be the place where

00:26:45.220 the anxiety and depression is coming from. So gender dysphoria has become like the answer key

00:26:50.380 for solving the riddle of all these other issues. And that's why you're seeing more of it,

00:26:56.600 but it's an answer that just causes more confusion and it becomes a snowball effect.

00:27:03.080 And that's what you have here on a similar subject. Since we're, since we're on the subject,

00:27:09.700 um, is a viral video that's making the rounds that I want to, I want to play here because it's a great

00:27:16.460 video in a lot of respects. Uh, this is a, a YouTuber, it appears, a man who is pretending to be a

00:27:25.600 woman and he's berating an employee at a pizza shop for a quote unquote misgendering him. Let's watch

00:27:32.320 that.

00:27:33.320 Do you think I look like a girl?

00:27:36.740 I do not understand.

00:27:38.580 You don't? Do I look like a boy or a girl?

00:27:41.960 I am?

00:27:42.640 Me.

00:27:43.820 I think you're a boy.

00:27:45.300 No, I'm a girl.

00:27:46.380 Okay.

00:27:47.100 Okay.

00:27:47.580 What do you think you look like?

00:27:50.120 Sorry.

00:27:51.640 No.

00:27:52.680 Just ugly.

00:27:54.140 Okay.

00:27:55.860 You want to help me out with this nice pizza?

00:27:58.180 Here, you could actually have my pizza. Do you like those?

00:28:00.280 He's so mean, I'm not eating his pizza, so you should have it.

00:28:03.960 Oh yeah.

00:28:04.760 Him. You enjoy your pizza.

00:28:06.400 Thank you.

00:28:06.800 Bye.

00:28:07.820 Look at him. He's so mean. Do I look like a boy or girl? He's telling me I'm a man.

00:28:12.360 Come on. It doesn't take rocket science.

00:28:15.140 I'm a man.

00:28:16.180 He thinks it's funny.

00:28:18.300 Right? It doesn't take rocket science to figure it out.

00:28:21.380 No.

00:28:21.980 Thank you. Enjoy your pizza. Bye.

00:28:24.060 Bye. I'm just telling you, you have to be more respectful.

00:28:26.860 Yeah, you are good.

00:28:28.060 You're not embarrassed to be ignorant and rude.

00:28:37.100 I am not good English.

00:28:39.580 I don't buy that for a minute.

00:28:41.380 I think you speak English just fine, my love.

00:28:43.920 Because you understood every other sentence we had.

00:28:48.960 Great.

00:28:50.600 Okay. Bye.

00:28:51.900 Educate yourself.

00:28:52.840 You know all the pizza.

00:28:54.680 I would never eat your pizza in a million years.

00:28:58.780 You're so rude.

00:29:00.260 How are you going to tell me I'm a man in a purse and long hair and nails?

00:29:05.300 You can't figure that out for yourself?

00:29:06.800 I'm asking, well, what are your pronouns?

00:29:10.780 What do you think my pronouns are?

00:29:13.080 Take a guess.

00:29:15.300 Take a guess.

00:29:17.060 Well, what were the pronouns of the guy in the pizza shop?

00:29:21.080 I wanted that to keep going.

00:29:22.120 That was great.

00:29:22.860 And that guy is fantastic.

00:29:26.320 I don't know who that guy is.

00:29:27.400 But I love the, he's smiling while the trans dude is, it just hurts my feelings.

00:29:36.700 Why would you say that?

00:29:37.680 Can't you say, and he goes, great.

00:29:41.100 It's fantastic.

00:29:42.280 It was just great.

00:29:44.700 And, you know, but the trans guy raises an interesting question.

00:29:47.980 He says, well, how could I be a man?

00:29:49.980 I have a purse.

00:29:53.740 You know, no man could ever hold an object like this.

00:29:58.280 How could I be a man?

00:29:59.040 I have long hair.

00:30:02.460 That's impossible.

00:30:03.420 No man has ever had long hair before.

00:30:07.080 I'm telling you, every time I see one of these videos, I pray.

00:30:09.920 I pray.

00:30:10.680 I actually pray to God.

00:30:12.420 I pray for the day when one of these people will try to do this, to put this, put me on

00:30:17.820 camera and try to put me on the spot.

00:30:19.980 Do you think I look like a man?

00:30:23.920 Yes, you do.

00:30:26.020 A weird, ugly man.

00:30:28.180 Sure.

00:30:28.520 I mean, yeah, weird and ugly, but you're still a man.

00:30:31.040 You're a strangely dressed man.

00:30:34.220 You're a clown.

00:30:35.020 You look like a clown.

00:30:35.680 You look like a man clown is what you look like.

00:30:38.680 When you keep going, pray for the day.

00:30:42.880 It probably will never happen for obvious reasons.

00:30:44.980 But of course, we can kind of laugh about this.

00:30:50.380 For the dude working at the pizza shop, this is not really fun and games for him because

00:30:57.160 the trans dude's trying to destroy his life, trying to get him fired.

00:31:00.740 Hopefully, it didn't work.

00:31:03.280 I don't know if there's any update on this story.

00:31:04.700 I'm not sure.

00:31:05.100 I'll have to look into it.

00:31:05.660 But that's what he's trying to do.

00:31:09.000 And he's very deliberate and transparent in the attempt.

00:31:12.100 He sets the trap.

00:31:13.940 And that's all these people do, right?

00:31:15.920 That's all these people do is they just set traps.

00:31:19.200 Their whole identity is designed, their fake identity is designed to just be a trap for

00:31:25.940 other people to fall into.

00:31:27.120 I mean, imagine living your life this way, living your life and just walking into any

00:31:31.840 situation and looking around with this trap set up, hoping that some random person you

00:31:39.180 don't know who's just trying to make pizza will fall into it so that you can make a big

00:31:43.920 thing and destroy their life.

00:31:45.900 And I mean quite literally that for a lot of these people, that is a big part of why

00:31:50.900 they're putting on the whole charade.

00:31:52.360 Like for this dude, does he actually think he's a woman?

00:31:57.700 Like, is there even gender dysphoria here?

00:31:59.660 I think I doubt it.

00:32:01.720 I don't even think he's confused.

00:32:04.140 It's just a big show.

00:32:07.180 It's a way of getting attention and it's a way of controlling and manipulating and harming

00:32:10.800 other people.

00:32:12.320 That's all he's interested in doing.

00:32:14.640 Which is why I have so little sympathy.

00:32:16.160 Which is why I've always had so little sympathy.

00:32:18.000 Because I've always seen this about these people.

00:32:20.840 I mean, there are those who are actually, especially the kids, who are really confused

00:32:23.940 because they've been made to be confused.

00:32:25.860 But most of these people are not confused.

00:32:28.500 This guy here, he's just a bad person is all he is.

00:32:31.780 He's a very bad person.

00:32:34.660 A raging narcissist who only wants attention and wants to try to harm other people.

00:32:38.080 So if you've always wondered why I have no sympathy, well, that's why.

00:32:42.540 Sympathy for what?

00:32:44.180 Guy's a total scumbag.

00:32:46.940 And that's all it is.

00:32:48.000 And that's why he actually asks the question, well, do I look like a boy or a girl?

00:32:53.580 Well, you know, first of all, if you're really confused and you actually think that you're

00:32:57.900 a woman, you wouldn't go around asking that question.

00:33:01.040 Because like, if you've bought into the delusion, why are you even asking?

00:33:05.620 And if you actually, you know, have you noticed something that the rest of us normal people,

00:33:10.260 we don't go around doing that?

00:33:11.300 Okay, I've never walked up to anybody ever and said, do I look like a man or a woman to you?

00:33:18.600 I've never done that.

00:33:20.060 Number one, because for a bunch of reasons.

00:33:23.320 I'm not insane.

00:33:24.960 At least not insane enough to do that.

00:33:27.240 I know what I look like.

00:33:29.700 I don't care how they perceive it.

00:33:32.480 I don't need my identity validated by anyone ever.

00:33:35.820 I just, I don't need that.

00:33:37.240 I've never needed that.

00:33:38.200 But you need it from everyone all the time.

00:33:43.180 What does that tell you?

00:33:46.640 So he asked the question, do you look like a boy?

00:33:48.300 Do I look like a boy or a girl?

00:33:50.700 And he gets an answer.

00:33:51.640 Like, don't ask the question if you don't want an answer.

00:33:55.560 You ask the question and the question you asked was, like, what do I look like?

00:34:01.420 Well, that's, what do I look like to you?

00:34:03.260 So you were asking him for his own perspective.

00:34:08.200 So that's what you get.

00:34:10.000 You're asking for someone else's perception, their subjective perception.

00:34:14.780 Now, the pizza guy's subjective perception happens to be correct.

00:34:20.620 But that's not even the point.

00:34:22.780 It's his perception.

00:34:24.220 It's like, even if his perception was wrong, if you'd gone up to him and said, what do I look like to you?

00:34:34.740 And he said, you look like a horse.

00:34:39.560 If he had said that, well, I mean, he's not technically correct that you're a horse.

00:34:44.140 I mean, he might look kind of like one, but you're not actually a horse.

00:34:47.180 But you asked him how he perceives you.

00:34:50.040 And so he told you.

00:34:52.340 If you don't want to know, don't ask.

00:34:54.980 But this is the point, right?

00:34:57.120 They want to control.

00:34:59.500 This is the level of narcissism.

00:35:02.040 It's why I've always said it's narcissism that the world has never seen this level of narcissism before.

00:35:07.020 You can't even conceptualize how narcissistic these people are.

00:35:13.180 It's unbelievable.

00:35:14.440 It's like literally unbelievable.

00:35:17.480 They're so narcissistic.

00:35:20.080 Okay.

00:35:20.700 They want to control how you perceive the world.

00:35:26.560 Your own perception, which you have in your own head.

00:35:28.840 And you're not even, and it's just in your head.

00:35:30.380 It's all it is.

00:35:30.880 You haven't shared it with anyone.

00:35:31.980 You haven't said anything.

00:35:33.620 You're just going about your day.

00:35:34.620 You have your perception of the world that's in your own head.

00:35:37.020 And they come up to you unsolicited and say, tell me your perception of the world.

00:35:42.180 And then you tell, nope, incorrect.

00:35:44.100 Your life is destroyed now.

00:35:46.500 What the?

00:35:47.740 Who?

00:35:48.680 What kind of way is this to live?

00:35:51.780 And again, it doesn't even matter.

00:35:53.080 At that point, when you're asking someone, it's their perception.

00:35:57.000 But they want to control that.

00:35:59.660 So it's not just that they want to control what you say.

00:36:06.000 They do want to control that.

00:36:08.060 And it's not just that they want to control how you act, although they do want to control that too.

00:36:11.980 They want to actually control your mind.

00:36:15.020 They want to control how you think.

00:36:16.820 Which is why it's actually not enough for these people to just have you say the pronouns.

00:36:25.360 Because you could do that.

00:36:27.380 But if they think that, if they get a whiff that you don't really believe it, then that sends them, you know, that sets them.

00:36:39.360 And there was just an example a couple days ago of some trans person appearing on Jimmy Fallon.

00:36:46.060 And I don't remember, some celebrity.

00:36:49.040 And Jimmy Fallon respects all the pronouns.

00:36:52.040 Like this guy is dressed all like a woman.

00:36:54.700 It's not like the guy came out and Jimmy Fallon said, you're a man.

00:36:58.800 Why are you a man pretending to be a woman?

00:37:00.680 I mean, if Jimmy Fallon had done that, he would have a fan for life in me anyway.

00:37:04.920 He would lose a lot of his other fans.

00:37:09.260 I don't know if it's a good trade for him.

00:37:10.960 But he didn't do that.

00:37:11.900 He respected the pronouns.

00:37:13.080 But there was a moment in the interview where Jimmy Fallon said, called, said bud.

00:37:17.660 Just like casually.

00:37:20.020 Complimenting him.

00:37:20.520 Say, oh, you're great, bud.

00:37:22.300 Or something like that.

00:37:24.140 And it's not, bud just means buddy.

00:37:26.160 And anyone, buddy is a friend.

00:37:27.860 And like, that's not really gendered.

00:37:29.320 Anyone can be a buddy.

00:37:30.860 You could have a woman that's a buddy.

00:37:32.080 But all the trans activists online, they sensed, like, even though that's not, he still respected the pronouns and all that.

00:37:42.160 And buddy, technically, could mean anything.

00:37:44.160 It could be man or woman.

00:37:46.080 They sensed from that word that there's something there that Jimmy Fallon might not actually perceive this person as a woman.

00:37:57.700 Like, they, just from the tone and the word, they kind of, like, intuited, yeah, he's saying all the right things, but he, but I think, but he might not actually believe it.

00:38:07.860 And they were outraged.

00:38:13.160 Because they were concerned that they had not successfully changed the way that Jimmy Fallon actually thinks about the world.

00:38:20.300 And they think they have the right to control.

00:38:22.180 They think they have the right to control the way you think about the world and how you perceive the world.

00:38:27.140 They have a right to control it.

00:38:28.600 So that's the level of narcissism we're talking about here, is, it almost leaves me speechless, but not all the way, because I can rant about it for 11 minutes and 44 seconds.

00:38:45.420 Let's see.

00:38:45.940 Wait, I'm going to skip over a couple things, because we have to go right to what was supposed to be the last story, which is very important to me.

00:38:55.180 This is from AP, the AP.

00:38:57.440 Oxford University Press has named Riz as its word of the year, highlighting the popularity of a term used by Generation Z to describe someone's ability to attract or seduce another person.

00:39:08.240 It topped Swifty, which is an enthusiastic fan of Taylor Swift.

00:39:11.200 Prompt, situationship, an informal romantic or sexual relationship, and prompt, an instruction given to an artificial intelligence program.

00:39:21.680 Well, that's not even a new word.

00:39:23.680 It topped those in the annual decision by experts at the publisher of the multi-volume Oxford English Dictionary.

00:39:28.780 The four finalists were selected by a public vote, and the winner was announced on Monday.

00:39:33.120 Riz is believed to come from the middle of the word charisma and can be used as a verb, as in to riz up, or chat someone up, publisher said.

00:39:40.640 It speaks to how younger generations create spaces where they own and define the language they use.

00:39:46.700 From activism to dating and wider culture, as Gen Z comes to have more impact on society, differences in perspectives and lifestyle play out in language, too.

00:39:55.420 I'm only reading this because it highlights kind of this weird aspect of modern society, which is that our vocabularies are shrinking.

00:40:03.740 The average vocabulary now is like 10 words.

00:40:06.340 Okay, it's almost, it's just 10 words and grunts and pictures.

00:40:11.700 And so the vocabulary is shrinking, and yet we're inventing new words every year.

00:40:16.660 So there's never been more words invented, and also there's never been fewer words known or used.

00:40:22.880 And it's a very strange dichotomy.

00:40:25.040 And I think it's because all of our new words are just variations of old words.

00:40:30.180 So they're taking old words and they're shortening them, or they're combining them.

00:40:34.560 So it's like we're doing in English language what we've done to churches.

00:40:38.460 You know, they go into old churches that used to be ornate and beautiful, and they intentionally make them crude and ugly.

00:40:45.120 Or with modern art, people used to sculpt gorgeous, impressive figures out of stone or wood.

00:40:51.400 And now they just plop a wood block down, and they call that art.

00:40:57.640 In fact, I saw someone post a minimalist, they said it was a minimalist artistic nativity set that was on sale somewhere.

00:41:07.660 And it's just blocks of wood instead of Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds, and wise men and everything.

00:41:13.200 It's just the blocks of wood.

00:41:14.600 So like the wood that they, in the past, they would have like carved into figures.

00:41:18.880 Now it's just the wood.

00:41:19.720 It's just the block.

00:41:21.720 And that's what we're doing with language.

00:41:23.400 We're replacing distinct and beautiful words with blocks of wood.

00:41:28.640 Riz.

00:41:30.180 What the hell is that?

00:41:31.960 Riz.

00:41:32.420 I mean, ironically, if you use the word riz, then you have none.

00:41:36.220 That's the irony of it.

00:41:38.560 That's a word you use if you have the IQ and personality of a barnacle.

00:41:45.300 Like, what's wrong with just saying charisma?

00:41:47.440 Why can't you just say that?

00:41:48.560 Charisma is a good word.

00:41:49.840 Charisma is a meaningful word.

00:41:52.480 There's nothing wrong with that word.

00:41:54.540 Just say charisma.

00:41:55.840 Now, sure, it has three syllables.

00:41:57.320 It takes slightly longer to say.

00:42:00.020 But you can do it.

00:42:00.940 I believe in you.

00:42:01.560 You can manage to say charisma.

00:42:03.800 It's not hard.

00:42:04.900 You can say the whole thing.

00:42:06.020 It's three syllables.

00:42:06.720 You can actually say it.

00:42:08.320 It takes like one millisecond longer.

00:42:12.380 It's not like you're so busy that you have to shorten all the words now.

00:42:17.300 Or use pictures in place of like actual sentences.

00:42:19.700 And if you didn't know any better, you look around and you think, well, people are so busy.

00:42:24.540 They don't have any time to like communicate in full words and sentences.

00:42:28.700 People are so busy.

00:42:29.700 Like, no, they're not.

00:42:30.300 What are they doing?

00:42:30.700 What's everyone doing?

00:42:31.700 Not doing anything.

00:42:33.400 We've never been less busy.

00:42:36.940 Riz.

00:42:37.220 I don't like it.

00:42:39.820 You know, the other thing, too, is that there's this insistence now that younger generations need whole new vocabularies distinct from older generations.

00:42:47.440 I mean, you heard Oxford English.

00:42:48.700 They're celebrating that.

00:42:49.860 They're saying, oh, the Gen Z.

00:42:52.260 They're creating new spaces.

00:42:53.960 Oh, shut up.

00:42:55.780 First of all, they're not creating anything.

00:42:57.040 They're just taking words that already exist and they're making them uglier.

00:43:01.180 But then the effect is that eventually there's no shared cultural language anymore.

00:43:05.240 Each generation has its own language.

00:43:06.780 And I know you'll say it's always been that way.

00:43:08.860 You know, younger kids have always used slang.

00:43:11.540 But that's not really a thing.

00:43:12.880 This is actually a modern phenomenon.

00:43:14.420 Like, if you were to go, if you were a farmer in Pennsylvania in the year 19 or 1827, let's say, and you were 45 years old, you spoke the same way and used the same words as your 17-year-old son.

00:43:30.720 There was slang, of course, but the slang was shared across generations.

00:43:34.720 And everything was shared across generations.

00:43:38.840 They had actual, imagine this.

00:43:41.400 Historically, human beings across the world have had a shared culture that spanned generations.

00:43:49.100 And so your grandparents, grandparent and grandchild would participate in the same culture together and understand each other.

00:44:00.360 And that's the way that it used to be.

00:44:02.920 And it wasn't this thing where every year the new crop of 17-year-olds invents 50 new slang terms so that nobody over the age of 25 can, you know, understand anything they're saying.

00:44:14.380 So I'm opposed to it.

00:44:17.460 I'm opposed to Riz and situationship.

00:44:21.280 And, you know, kids today, and I'm not saying I'm opposed to slang, but all I'm saying is that kids today, you can use the same slang we used in the 90s.

00:44:28.520 There was nothing wrong with it.

00:44:30.180 Like, just we can stick with the same thing for a few decades at least, can't we?

00:44:34.440 You don't need new ones.

00:44:35.960 Our slang was fine.

00:44:36.920 We used to say stuff like, talk to the hand and the bomb and eat my shorts is the thing.

00:44:48.900 I mean, we didn't really say that, but people on TV said that.

00:44:53.220 Raise the roof, we used to say.

00:44:56.200 Or at least our youth pastors used to say that to us when they were trying to relate to us.

00:44:59.760 But they were still, it was the slang, and it was fine.

00:45:02.920 And we don't need any of this.

00:45:04.060 So it has been stated.

00:45:08.680 Let's get to the, was Walsh wrong?

00:46:09.260 Okay, a couple of comments here.

00:46:11.220 First one says, I have a son with autism and intellectual disability.

00:46:15.020 He was violent for many years, mostly towards me and his dad.

00:46:17.760 We spent years trying to get help.

00:46:19.160 We begged, tried all manner of medicines, all the strategies, and nothing helped.

00:46:22.420 This could have been my story.

00:46:23.700 Thankfully, we're still together as a family, and I work full-time caring for my son.

00:46:27.580 If you haven't lived it, you couldn't possibly understand.

00:46:29.720 We love our kids just like you do.

00:46:31.620 It's the same fierce and protective love.

00:46:33.520 We homeschool him for his safety and the safety of others, even though we consistently are advised to put him in school with the experts.

00:46:40.080 We made trips to the ER and begged for help, and people wanted to help, but they didn't have anything to offer us.

00:46:45.420 It's extremely traumatic to live with a violent child, and then to find that facilities have weightless IQ minimums, deplorable conditions, and no solutions.

00:46:53.540 Undoubtedly, someone needs to help this adult with special needs.

00:46:56.680 Is prison really the only answer?

00:46:59.000 Another comment from William says,

00:47:00.340 Most of that work has been done with autistic adults, so although I agree that because he's already done the crime and just letting him off the hook is absolutely not acceptable,

00:47:20.080 neither is prison, and unfortunately, he will either get himself killed or kill himself in prison.

00:47:24.600 The system has failed this man.

00:47:25.720 And if he had got the right life skills and care that he needed, then he would have learned other ways to channel his aggression.

00:47:31.000 There should be locked facilities for these individuals that are also trained on the proper ways of working with autistic individuals.

00:47:37.920 The biggest difference between him and someone with autism is he didn't choose to be autistic, someone without autism, rather,

00:47:43.280 is he didn't choose to be autistic and, honestly, in that moment, was not making a choice.

00:47:47.100 His body just reacted.

00:47:48.220 Kevin says,

00:47:50.560 Matt, I'd agree that having a hard life is not an excuse for violence, but in the spirit of Matthew 5, 38-39, perhaps understanding mental illness is warranted.

00:47:59.400 This mom mentions a violation of her child's IEP, which means the school is fully aware of his needs and the risks of working with him.

00:48:05.940 I don't expect the victim to understand that, but to basically tell the world that the mercy and understanding that Christ would have us model as a bad thing really makes me question your reasoning.

00:48:14.320 The school should be held accountable, community should be held accountable, mental health problems are real, and without proper funding, worse things will happen.

00:48:22.340 Or maybe you think we should just lock them all up or maybe kill them like the Nazis.

00:48:25.380 Okay, first of all, I believe in mercy as a Christian.

00:48:31.240 My point is that our mercy should be directed first and foremost at the innocent.

00:48:36.480 And when you have mercy on violent, dangerous people, that mercy means that you are putting innocent people in danger.

00:48:46.840 That's what it means.

00:48:48.700 If by mercy you're saying that we should not lock these people away.

00:48:52.960 If that's what you mean by mercy.

00:48:54.320 If by mercy you mean treating them with dignity and humanity, even while segregating them from society due to the fact that they're dangerous, sure, I agree with you there.

00:49:10.640 But if you're advocating for mercy that means that this person is not locked away, well then, your mercy will translate into a lack of mercy for innocent people.

00:49:31.320 The second point is that I never said this guy should go to prison for 30 years.

00:49:35.880 You know, he needs to be locked away.

00:49:40.660 If this is someone 6 foot 6 inches tall, you know, and reacted to getting his Nintendo Switch taken away or whatever by attempting to beat a woman to death.

00:49:53.640 And wailing on her even when she's on the ground, you know, kicking and everything.

00:49:58.460 Well, this is someone who's a danger to society and cannot be trusted in society.

00:50:02.340 That's why I say again, to not lock that person away, to have mercy in that sense, would be cruelty to the next person that he inflicts himself on.

00:50:14.980 And we all know that that next person, there will be a next person.

00:50:18.780 We all know that.

00:50:19.360 And so you can't get around that.

00:50:23.740 You could talk about your wonderful mercy for this person, but you have to face the fact and be intellectually honest that what you are advocating is that other people should be put in danger for the sake of being nice and merciful to this man with autism.

00:50:40.280 That is what you are saying.

00:50:42.040 And what I am saying is no.

00:50:44.140 It's a hard choice either way.

00:50:45.420 You got to make hard choices in life.

00:50:46.540 Locking somebody away who has autism and they're dangerous is not, I'm not saying it's a fun thing that anybody wants to do.

00:50:56.840 But you got to make a hard choice either way.

00:50:58.400 And at least I'm admitting that it's a hard choice.

00:51:00.820 Like I'm admitting that, yeah, you lock someone away like that.

00:51:03.260 That's, it's, it's, it's an ugly thing.

00:51:05.640 It's terrible.

00:51:06.820 It's terrible.

00:51:07.480 I admit that.

00:51:08.040 But the alternative is untenable, intolerable, unacceptable.

00:51:15.860 The people on the other side of this, to me, like, they're not honest about it.

00:51:18.660 They don't, they don't, they're not honest about what the choice actually is.

00:51:21.480 And they paint it as though, well, we can do the ugly, terrible thing and put this person away.

00:51:25.900 Or we can do the nice thing and, and, and, you know, let them free.

00:51:31.940 But that's also an ugly and terrible thing because of what it will mean, because of what will happen as a result.

00:51:37.060 And the second point is, again, you know, I, yeah, I, as I was saying, I don't, I never said that he should go to prison for 30 years.

00:51:45.660 I said he needs to be removed away, removed from society, segregated from society.

00:51:50.200 And if we had asylums and institutions like we used to, then I would say that he should go there.

00:51:57.460 This is why we should have asylums.

00:51:59.440 This is why we should have, you know, institutions for the criminally insane as we used to.

00:52:05.220 And we largely don't anymore.

00:52:09.520 And if we had those kinds of institutions, then I would say, yeah, someone who has mental, mental illnesses that contribute to them becoming dangerously violent.

00:52:20.240 You know, they would be a candidate for a place like that, which is not technically a prison, but it still is protecting society.

00:52:28.740 If we don't have those institutions, then prison becomes the only option.

00:52:32.620 Because then it's like prison or unleash this individual back into the community.

00:52:41.300 And that is, it just, we can't.

00:52:44.180 You can't do it.

00:52:47.940 That's my position.

00:52:49.040 Well, I've got a holiday gift idea that's sure to make you the hero of the season.

00:55:28.160 Today for our Daily Cancellation, we have a man named James Causey who writes for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

00:55:39.760 And he has just written a column apparently so poignant and powerful that it was reprinted by USA Today and Yahoo News.

00:55:46.820 His article contains a startling revelation.

00:55:49.080 You aren't going to believe this, but James Causey is a black journalist who says that he has been the victim of racism.

00:55:54.700 I know it's shocking to hear a journalist claim that he's been the victim of racism.

00:55:58.920 It's been at least 27 minutes since the last time a journalist whined about racism.

00:56:02.180 So this is not something that happens very often at all.

00:56:06.100 Causey's diatribe has this title,

00:56:08.560 I'm worn from years of racial slurs, but I'll no longer be silent about bigotry.

00:56:14.420 Now in the article, Causey paints a bleak picture.

00:56:16.660 Despite being an obscure columnist writing for a regional newspaper, he apparently gets tons of hate mail.

00:56:22.280 He is a lightning rod for controversy.

00:56:24.740 And he, and he complains, much of the hate mail is racist.

00:56:28.120 So going back 15 years to when he first started his column, he recounts this story.

00:56:32.880 Quote, as you might imagine, readers reacted to my writing.

00:56:36.640 We get emails and sometimes phone calls, but it was still a time when we'd regularly get letters in the mail,

00:56:41.700 usually handwritten, sometimes typed out.

00:56:43.700 Most were positive.

00:56:44.940 A few were uncomplimentary.

00:56:46.560 But one stood out after I wrote a piece critical of Milwaukee Public Schools' poor reading scores

00:56:51.000 and the lack of urgency to change it.

00:56:52.700 It was the first time I'd opened a letter to see myself called the N-word.

00:56:56.680 It wasn't the first time being called that in my life, of course,

00:56:59.040 but there was something about it, something that word, seeing that word written down

00:57:03.340 and used so readily in others that followed.

00:57:06.680 Black parents were lazy N-words, and I was called an enabling N-word for not calling out the lazy N-words.

00:57:11.960 It cut me like a knife.

00:57:13.560 15 years later, it still angers me.

00:57:15.700 After years of staying silent about the pain that it caused, and from the other slurs that follow to this day,

00:57:22.080 I came to a realization.

00:57:23.800 This behavior cannot and should not be tolerated.

00:57:26.840 So, a decade and a half later, and this grown man claims to be actively in pain,

00:57:32.760 traumatized from one alleged letter with some bad words 15 years ago.

00:57:39.280 Now, I have to insert the word alleged here because there's no reason to take him at his word on any of this,

00:57:44.880 and there's plenty of common sense reasons to doubt much of it.

00:57:48.560 He continues claiming that this one racist letter was only the tip of the iceberg,

00:57:52.380 and soon he was buried under an avalanche of racist hatred all being targeted for some reason

00:57:58.040 at some guy who writes a column that nobody reads for a newspaper nobody reads.

00:58:02.540 Quote,

00:58:03.320 I put the letter in my desk drawer and didn't tell anyone about it for weeks.

00:58:06.700 A similar letter followed, and another, and a hundred others,

00:58:09.600 all littered with the same inflammatory language African-Americans have been called for hundreds of years.

00:58:13.960 Sometimes they were mailed to my house, which freaked me out and scared my wife.

00:58:19.020 He then gives some examples of the things that people have allegedly said to him.

00:58:23.040 Reading those examples verbatim,

00:58:25.320 Quote,

00:58:26.100 When did the paper start hiring racial slur that starts with C?

00:58:31.460 If you hate it here so much, why don't you return to Africa and swing from a tree?

00:58:35.180 I'll pay for your one-way ticket.

00:58:37.140 The only thing worse than an N-word is another N-word.

00:58:40.640 In my years as a columnist, not much changed, he continues.

00:58:43.200 Just the means of delivery.

00:58:45.240 Sometimes the hatred comes in via voicemail, but usually it's email.

00:58:49.020 Now, if these all sound like kind of sort of like the generic racist statements

00:58:54.340 that people committing race hoaxes always make up,

00:58:57.880 well then, draw whatever conclusions you like.

00:59:01.420 I can't say with certainty that he's making it up, only that it sounds made up.

00:59:06.060 And then there's this strange anecdote.

00:59:07.720 A few months ago, I received an old school mailed letter with a cutout copy of my column

00:59:12.960 on the annual daddy-daughter dance.

00:59:15.600 I talked about the great times I had with my daughter at this event until she aged out.

00:59:19.760 The sender, presumably a subscriber since it was a paper copy,

00:59:22.860 crossed out the word black, replacing it with the N-word repeatedly.

00:59:27.620 Okay, so he's claiming that some racist attacked him after he wrote a column

00:59:31.180 recounting his experience at a daddy-daughter dance.

00:59:33.520 And he says that this person took the time to cross out the word black,

00:59:37.500 wherever it appeared in the column, and replace it with the N-word.

00:59:41.100 Well, here's the curious thing.

00:59:42.820 I read the column, which he links to, the daddy-daughter column.

00:59:46.000 The word black does not appear at all in the column.

00:59:50.180 So he says that the unknown racist crossed out the word black and replaced it with the N-word,

00:59:54.000 except that the word black is absent from the article.

00:59:56.780 So there's a slight logistical problem here, but we're not going to linger on it.

01:00:00.880 He goes on, ask any black journalists if they have a similar story.

01:00:04.980 I'll bet the answer is yes.

01:00:06.380 We don't discuss it, but it's time to change that.

01:00:09.000 If anything, the hatred has become more overt.

01:00:11.740 Remember the Milwaukee TV reporter called the N-word at Country Thunder last summer?

01:00:15.940 It's become more persistent, and thanks to social media, easier to spew from the shadows.

01:00:22.180 Now, I actually do remember that story about the Milwaukee TV reporter.

01:00:25.880 Taylor Lumpkin was her name, and she went to cover some kind of country music festival.

01:00:29.820 And later that night, she tweeted this, quote,

01:00:33.140 went to cover this event tonight for a news story, left humiliated after a guy ran up and

01:00:37.420 yelled at me unprovoked and called me an N-word twice.

01:00:40.960 No one helped.

01:00:41.920 Everybody stared at me and laughed.

01:00:44.220 Do better, people.

01:00:46.460 Now, the odd thing is that Lumpkin was there as a TV reporter with a TV crew,

01:00:51.060 and yet nobody caught this racist attack on camera.

01:00:53.760 There is no video.

01:00:55.220 There are no photos.

01:00:56.720 And this happened twice.

01:00:57.840 So this person came up and ran and said this.

01:01:02.220 Nobody turned the camera on.

01:01:03.820 And then he came again, and no one turned the camera on.

01:01:06.940 Amazing.

01:01:08.360 As far as I could tell, no witnesses ever came forward.

01:01:12.060 So Lumpkin made this claim, never said another word about it publicly.

01:01:16.140 There was no follow-up.

01:01:17.780 And then, as Causey recounts later in this column,

01:01:20.020 she quit her job and left the industry to focus on her, quote, mental health.

01:01:25.480 It's all very strange indeed.

01:01:28.020 And by very strange, I mean that it obviously sounds completely made up.

01:01:32.940 Reading on a bit more, quote,

01:01:35.280 Now this article goes on like this, and on and on and on.

01:02:03.220 It is one extremely lengthy and tedious Jeremiah ad about all the persecution he's faced as a black newspaper columnist in America in the 21st century.

01:02:11.680 And the theme that he returns to again and again is that he is tired.

01:02:14.960 He's exhausted.

01:02:15.640 He's worn down.

01:02:16.980 He's like a man returning home from the trenches in World War I.

01:02:20.540 Shell-shocked.

01:02:21.740 Traumatized.

01:02:22.220 You cannot imagine the things he's seen, what he's been through, the emails that he's read.

01:02:29.840 Oh, the emails.

01:02:32.360 So many emails.

01:02:34.520 Now, we're not going to harp on the fact that so much of the racism he recounts sounds totally fabricated.

01:02:41.980 And, you know, I mean, that's probably the most salient point about all of this.

01:02:45.740 But we'll move past it in order to make one other point.

01:02:49.620 And the point is this.

01:02:51.900 As someone who, myself, who certainly gets, in order of magnitude, more negative feedback than this guy,

01:02:57.720 I can say that the cliche is true.

01:03:00.780 Words only have the power that you give them.

01:03:03.660 And people like James Causey have given a word like the N-word an enormous amount of power.

01:03:09.080 Not just James Causey.

01:03:10.440 Our whole society has turned this word into something more than a word.

01:03:13.420 It is like some kind of witch's curse.

01:03:15.740 It's a magical spell.

01:03:17.920 It is a collection of syllables so unspeakably awful that they cannot be uttered in any context.

01:03:22.880 Unless they're being uttered by black people, in which case the word could be said 500 times in every sentence.

01:03:27.580 And it's totally fine.

01:03:28.840 So the word is either utterly banal and totally meaningless or a mystical incantation that holds evil, sorcerer-like powers.

01:03:37.900 Which is all completely incoherent, of course.

01:03:40.540 But putting aside the inconsistency in this, in the way that the word is viewed and used,

01:03:47.560 the power it has been given is also absolutely arbitrary and contrived.

01:03:55.980 So James Causey says that he read the word once in a piece of hate mail 15 years ago.

01:04:01.840 And it still haunts him to this day.

01:04:04.520 Like I could not recite verbatim hate mail I received 15 minutes ago.

01:04:09.360 There's too much of it and it's all far too meaningless to me.

01:04:12.860 Every once in a while I get something that's unusually vile and disgusting, even by current standards.

01:04:17.180 And sometimes I get threats that have to be reported to law enforcement.

01:04:20.620 But there is certainly, you know, there's no word or insult that I could ever read or hear from a critic that would haunt my dreams for years.

01:04:30.060 And that's because I don't give my critics that kind of power.

01:04:33.100 Guys like Causey are the ones who have given power to these racial slurs.

01:04:37.460 But only certain racial slurs, of course.

01:04:38.880 Now, I don't really believe that Causey has been lying awake at night in tears over bad words that people have said to him.

01:04:46.720 But that's the picture he's painting.

01:04:48.560 And all it does is give much greater weight and impact to the very word that he claims to despise.

01:04:53.820 So if you really wanted people to stop using the N-word, and you claim that people are using it all the time,

01:04:59.280 the best thing you could do is ignore it.

01:05:02.700 Stop talking about it.

01:05:03.820 Stop panicking over it.

01:05:04.960 Certainly don't write a 15,000-word lamentation about the pain that the word causes you.

01:05:09.580 When you do that, it advertises to your critics that they can easily make you crumple into a little ball

01:05:15.320 and sob uncontrollably like a child just by uttering one simple two-syllable word in your presence.

01:05:21.360 So it's like if the Wicked Witch of the West said to Dorothy,

01:05:25.200 No, please don't grab that bucket of water over there and dump it on me.

01:05:28.200 Of all the things you could do, definitely don't do that one thing.

01:05:31.340 Don't do that.

01:05:32.400 Why are you doing it?

01:05:33.320 I told you not to.

01:05:36.020 In fact, come to think of it, that's what you say if you want someone to do the thing you say you don't want them to do.

01:05:43.120 So it's almost as if the James Causes of the world gives so much publicity and power to the N-word

01:05:48.560 because they want people to say it.

01:05:50.400 He wants to get the emails.

01:05:52.640 He wants to keep the victimhood train going.

01:05:55.500 It's almost as if this is the most obvious reverse psychology tactic imaginable.

01:06:00.980 Almost as if, or exactly as if.

01:06:04.960 I think we've just discovered why the left makes such a big deal out of that word.

01:06:10.360 We've also discovered why James Causes is today very certainly canceled.

01:06:16.320 That'll do it for the show today.

01:06:17.260 Thanks for listening.

01:06:18.300 Have a great day.

01:06:18.920 Godspeed.
