Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the euthanasia industry is growing by leaps and bounds across
00:00:03.960
the Western world. And the same drug companies that make antidepressants are manufacturing the
00:00:08.060
suicide drugs to kill you. We'll talk about this extremely disturbing trend today. Also,
00:00:12.120
a new study says that most gender-confused children do grow out of it as they reach adulthood. But we
00:00:16.780
didn't need a study to tell us that. And Jimmy Kimmel declares that America is dirty and disgusting
00:00:21.080
compared to a country like Japan. But why is that? That's the question that he doesn't want
00:00:25.380
to ask or answer. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:30.000
Does it make sense that the same company that controls half of online retail also passively
00:00:59.400
eavesdrops on your private conversations at home? It's time to put a layer of protection
00:01:03.180
between your online activity and these tech juggernauts. And that's why I use ExpressVPN.
00:01:08.020
Think about how much of your life is on the internet already. Sadly, every site you visit,
00:01:11.820
emails you send and receive, videos you watch, or messages you send to get tracked and data mined.
00:01:16.880
But when you run ExpressVPN on your device, the software hides your IP address so that big tech
00:01:21.300
can't use it to identify you personally. ExpressVPN makes your activity harder to trace
00:01:25.580
and sell to advertisers. ExpressVPN also encrypts 100% of your internet data to keep you safe from
00:01:31.060
hackers and eavesdroppers on your network. What I like most about ExpressVPN is how easy it is to
00:01:34.960
use. All you got to do is download the app on your phone or computer, tap one button, and you're
00:01:39.040
protected. It's that simple. Stop handing over your personal data to the big tech monopoly that
00:01:43.380
mines your activity and sells your information. Protect yourself with the VPN I trust to keep me safe
00:01:48.160

About a year ago, you may recall, I covered the very sudden rise of euthanasia in Canada. As of
00:02:05.840
2022, the most recent year we have data available, euthanasia is now the fifth leading cause of death
00:02:11.800
in Canada, accounting for one out of every 25 fatalities. That's ahead of common conditions like
00:02:16.860
liver disease, influenza, diabetes, Alzheimer's. The number of so-called assisted deaths rose by
00:02:23.240
more than 30% year over year, although precise metrics are getting hard to track. And that's
00:02:27.800
because going forward, Canada says the euthanasia deaths won't be recorded as deaths caused by
00:02:34.040
euthanasia. Instead, whatever reason the patient provided for seeking euthanasia will be recorded
00:02:38.660
as the cause of that death. So if you have a doctor kill you because you have arthritis in Canada
00:02:45.400
now, then that's going to be classified as a death due to arthritis. Now this cover-up,
00:02:50.820
like everything that has ever been attempted by the Canadian government, at least recent years,
00:02:55.320
has failed miserably. Euthanasia is such an obviously booming industry that funeral homes have
00:03:00.600
started offering so-called turnkey bundles in which people can kill themselves and then have a burial
00:03:06.760
all for one low, low price. And there's no need to have a terminal illness either. Some Canadians are
00:03:11.940
killing themselves because they say it's easier to kill themselves than to get disability benefits.
00:03:16.780
The Canadian state-owned media loves this, of course, by the way. They claim that euthanasia
00:03:21.240
can save millions in healthcare costs. This isn't just happening in Canada. All over the Western world,
00:03:26.360
euthanasia is now more common than it's ever been. The number of British citizens who signed up for
00:03:31.360
Dignitas, a Swiss non-profit that performs euthanasia, increased by nearly 25% in just the year 2023.
00:03:38.260
And in Switzerland, assisted deaths jumped by 11% last year alone. Meanwhile, in Belgium,
00:03:44.060
assisted suicide increased by more than 15%. And overall, in Europe and Canada, euthanasia rates
00:03:49.460
have increased by a quarter in just about 12 months. Over in South Australia, medical assistance
00:03:54.980
in dying, as it's euphemistically called, was legalized a year ago. And the numbers of death
00:04:00.540
permits they're issuing are increasing at a rate of around 20% per quarter. And those numbers are going
00:04:06.440
to continue to rise, in part because the public broadcaster in Australia is running segments
00:04:14.240
Death in our society is really hard for people to get their heads around and to talk about it.
00:04:24.780
Few people would choose to follow in the footsteps of Canberra's palliative care health workers.
00:04:30.100
I really love what I do. I love PowerLiveCare. I love caring for people who just need that
00:04:38.400
little bit extra. So it's a really honourable place to be in someone's life.
00:04:49.780
It is hard. There are times when it can be really difficult. But for the most part,
00:04:55.600
to be able to see the difference you can make in someone's life.
00:05:00.800
Make a difference in someone's life today by killing them.
00:05:04.580
Give them a little something extra. That's the pitch in Australia. And it's working.
00:05:11.540
Now, as you expect, as euthanasia becomes more and more common all over the world,
00:05:15.940
you know, we've heard a significant number of stories that are quite disturbing, to put it mildly.
00:05:21.460
For example, there was the Canadian woman who was diagnosed with cancer only to be told by her
00:05:26.540
doctors that she should consider euthanasia as a treatment option, I suppose. And she refused that
00:05:33.240
because she didn't want to kill herself. And she fled to the United States where she paid hundreds
00:05:36.540
of thousands of dollars to receive treatment. And those are the kinds of stories that make you
00:05:40.820
realize that there are a lot of very sick people in countries like Canada who don't have a lot of
00:05:45.560
money lying around. And because of that reason for financial constraints, you know, they're killing
00:05:52.360
themselves. And it's hard to imagine this trend getting any more bleak from there. But somehow,
00:05:59.980
it has gotten more bleak. There's an incredible new story in the free press about a 28-year-old
00:06:04.960
woman in the Netherlands named Zoraya Terbeek. And she plans to have a medical professional kill her
00:06:10.840
sometime in May, so next month. And that's not because she has any kind of terminal illness.
00:06:16.200
Remember, originally, they said that euthanasia, it's only for people that have terminal illnesses.
00:06:21.220
And we've long since left that behind as the slippery slope continues. And this woman,
00:06:28.520
like so many other people that have elected euthanasia in countries across the world, has no
00:06:33.340
terminal illness. Instead, she's been diagnosed with depression, autism, and borderline personality
00:06:38.220
disorder. And on that basis alone, even though she's physically healthy, she lives in a nice house
00:06:45.660
with her boyfriend and her cats, and, you know, again, has no terminal illness at all. But because
00:06:51.660
of that, she wants to die. And she'll be able to. And this woman appears to mean what she's saying.
00:06:59.240
She's been highly visible in the Dutch press for many years, going as far back as 2017. And every time
00:07:05.060
that she's appeared since then, she's been promoting the idea of euthanasia or dying in some way. For
00:07:10.260
example, in 2017, a Dutch website profiled Zoraya, writing, quote, Zoraya is 22 and does not want to
00:07:16.720
be resuscitated if something happens to her. And of course, she gets comments about that. More and more
00:07:20.520
people are deciding to wear a do not resuscitate badge. That same year, another Dutch outlet wrote
00:07:26.040
an article about how Zoraya was planning her funeral for herself. Additionally, Zoraya has provided
00:07:31.360
the free press with a photograph of the coffin she plans to use, including a picture of herself
00:07:37.000
in the coffin. She also posted extensively about her plans on social media. And confronted with all
00:07:43.320
this, Zoraya's psychiatrists, they didn't suggest any alternative. Instead, they told her that she was
00:07:48.760
doomed, basically. Quote, Zoraya recalled her psychiatrist telling her they had tried everything,
00:07:53.960
that there's nothing more we can do for you. It's never going to get any better.
00:07:57.500
Now, it's hard to sum up the agenda of the pharmaceutical companies and the medical industry
00:08:02.560
any better than that one line. There's nothing more we can do for you. It's never going to get
00:08:08.540
any better. Now, I'm sure that that is a paraphrase from Zoraya, paraphrasing what her psychiatrists
00:08:16.500
have. You know, if we're to have any faith in her psychiatrist, maybe we could at least,
00:08:20.740
if we're going to give them any benefit of the doubt, maybe we could at least hope that they didn't say
00:08:23.460
that directly and explicitly. You're never going to get better. You should kill yourself.
00:08:28.900
But we can also be pretty confident that it's an accurate paraphrase. And on that,
00:08:35.280
even as a paraphrase, it is obviously horrifying. I mean, this is a woman who's not even 30 years old
00:08:40.840
and has no physical illness whatsoever. Every single problem she has is in her head.
00:08:48.280
You know, in her head and very vaguely defined on top of it.
00:08:54.620
A term like borderline personality disorder, it's one we're accustomed to hearing. We hear about it
00:08:59.680
all the time and many people have been diagnosed with it. But very rarely does anyone stop to ask
00:09:04.980
any fundamental questions about that diagnosis. Questions like, how exactly can you diagnose a
00:09:12.780
personality as disordered? Well, because that implies that you have some idea of what a properly
00:09:20.740
ordered personality is. So what is a properly ordered personality? What personality is this
00:09:26.300
woman supposed to have? When the psychiatrist looked at her and said, no, that's the wrong,
00:09:31.340
your personality is not supposed to be like this. It's disordered. Okay, well, so what was Zoraya's
00:09:37.060
personality supposed to be? Can you tell us that? Well, not only are they saying that she has the wrong
00:09:41.200
personality, but that she should kill herself because of it. Because nevermind, I guess,
00:09:45.920
whatever these disorders are, however you define them, even if you can't really define them,
00:09:49.660
her doctors have prescribed suicide to cure them. Because this is what happens now if the
00:09:55.740
antidepressant drugs don't work. Now they have another drug to sort of permanently fix the problem.
00:10:02.820
And conveniently, the same companies that are selling the antidepressants
00:10:08.040
are also making the drugs that help kill people who realize the antidepressants don't work too
00:10:13.620
well. A company called Valiant Pharmaceuticals, now known as Bosch Health, makes the most commonly
00:10:20.260
used drug in physician-assisted suicide called Secanol. And as it happens, that same company also
00:10:27.460
makes Wellbutrin, which is the 18th most prescribed medicine in the United States with millions of
00:10:32.040
prescriptions. And when it came out, it was billed as a kind of a second line, heavy-hitting
00:10:37.320
antidepressant that's supposed to work where the first line SSRIs fail. Okay, so that company that
00:10:43.320
makes the antidepressant also makes the suicide drug. I mean, just stop and think about that for
00:10:48.360
a second and what that means. And what that means is that in the event that the second line
00:10:52.760
antidepressant fails, well, now we have the third line. They'll just kill you. Which also means that
00:10:59.900
the company that is profiting off of suicide is also claiming to treat depression. Like the conflict
00:11:08.800
of interest here should be so obvious that we shouldn't need to spell it out. And it should
00:11:14.580
disturb most people, but it doesn't, at least not everywhere. One of the most revealing aspects of
00:11:19.460
this Free Press article has been the reaction to it. In the Netherlands, there was outrage, not at the
00:11:24.960
medical industry, you know, that's killing depressed people and telling them that they're hopeless and
00:11:28.540
they should commit suicide, but rather at the Free Press for covering the story. Soraya shut down her
00:11:33.700
social media accounts, claiming the Free Press article misrepresented her without explaining how.
00:11:38.080
And a lot of her supporters in the Netherlands were also furious with the piece, saying that it was a
00:11:41.660
distorted view of what they call medical assistance in dying. But, and there's really no way to distort,
00:11:48.080
by the way, there's no way to distort. It's suicide. It's a doctor poisoning you and killing you.
00:11:52.580
That's, there's no, that's what it is. And it's the kind of thing that any honest conversation about
00:11:59.520
it is going to make it sound horrifying because that's what it is. You're killing people and killing
00:12:05.920
people is a horrifying thing to do. But in America, the reaction was a little different. Instead of
00:12:13.540
writing puff pieces about Soraya's decision, many mainstream outlets presented it accurately
00:12:17.140
as a horrifying crime against humanity and a betrayal of the most basic principle of medicine.
00:12:21.660
Here's how the author of the Free Press, Rupa Subramanya, put it last night, quote,
00:12:27.360
I've been struck by the reaction so far, some of which I anticipated. North Americans generally tend
00:12:32.000
to be horrified at the Dutch acceptance of the right to die, even for someone who is not terminally ill,
00:12:37.020
or their acceptance that there should be a more humane way to commit suicide, even when euthanasia is
00:12:41.860
legal. The Dutch I spoke to find North Americans very conservative and religious when it comes to life and
00:12:47.280
death. The Netherlands is a post-religious society, and the comments from there are 180 degrees from
00:12:52.740
what I'm getting from people in North America. We're living in two different epistemic worlds at
00:12:57.080
the same point in time in cultures that descend from fundamentally the same Western roots coming
00:13:01.440
from the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the Protestant Reformation. There's overwhelming
00:13:04.680
support for euthanasia, assisted dying, and a humane way to commit suicide in the Netherlands
00:13:08.900
than anywhere else in the Western world. Now, what this tells us is that the contagion that has now
00:13:13.820
completely overtaken Europe, and in particular countries like the Netherlands, and also Canada,
00:13:19.620
may be reversible in this country. It may not have completely taken hold here.
00:13:27.940
And there are other signs of that as well. For example, late last year, the American Medical
00:13:31.580
Association's House of Delicates considered a resolution that would have officially endorsed
00:13:36.440
the practice of euthanasia. Given the extent of the barbaric medical practices that the AMA endorses
00:13:43.160
already, it seemed likely that this resolution would pass. But as the National Catholic Register
00:13:47.800
reports, quote, the House of Delicates of the American Medical Association rebuffed an effort
00:13:52.180
to change the organization's current stance in opposition to physician-assisted suicide,
00:13:56.560
the development that drew praise from members of the Catholic Medical Association, which advocated
00:14:01.280
against the change. So that's a victory, obviously. Again, kind of a surprising one, considering the
00:14:08.480
barbarism that these people already endorse. But the fact that this resolution was even proposed,
00:14:14.560
was ever seriously considered, tells us that we're not very far removed from the Netherlands.
00:14:20.020
It suggests that unless the underlying causes of this trend are resolved, it will eventually
00:14:25.920
overtake this country as well. And in the underlying causes, the reason young people are killing
00:14:33.380
themselves, is that hope, you know, which comes from a sense of purpose, are becoming rare in modern
00:14:41.300
society. That's true both here and in Europe. And now that euthanasia offers a seemingly easy and
00:14:47.500
quote-unquote painless way out, more and more people at younger and younger ages are taking advantage
00:14:53.500
of that, what they see as an easy way out. They'll be put on antidepressants that don't work,
00:14:59.220
and then suicide drugs after that, sort of to, you know, to clean things up afterwards.
00:15:05.460
And somehow the drug companies will suggest that even though they've sold SSRIs that accomplish
00:15:10.020
nothing, you should still trust them when they say that their euthanasia drug is the solution.
00:15:15.820
This is a pitch that only works when people have been lied to for years and become profoundly
00:15:21.020
confused about this basic fact, which is that life is not easy. Nobody is happy all the time.
00:15:31.220
But we are alive for a reason. And if we feel like life is meaningless, it's not because life
00:15:37.920
actually has no meaning. The problem is that we struggle to see it. Everyone goes through moments
00:15:45.020
like that in life. The solution for those people, people like Zariah and others, is to help those
00:15:54.600
people see the meaning in life. Well, pharma companies like Bosch Health are not providing
00:16:00.640
that solution. I mean, they aren't even trying to help people in their despair. They're only trying
00:16:06.340
to profit off of it. Now let's get to our five headlines. It's 2024. And if you're still spending
00:16:18.500
your money with woke companies, you got to stop that. There are a lot of great companies out there
00:16:23.180
that aren't shoving diversity and inclusion initiatives down the throats of their employees
00:16:26.680
or their customers. Maybe you're already doing business with some of these. That's great. Maybe
00:16:31.300
you're boycotting companies who have made headlines by acquiring the latest trans influencer as
00:16:36.220
their spokesperson. Even better. But have you given much thought to where your money is currently
00:16:40.680
invested? A lot of big wealth management companies making billions of dollars investing your money
00:16:45.280
however they want, wherever they want, even if that means investing in businesses who don't care
00:16:50.160
about your values. Well, you can align your portfolio with your principles today with my friends at

00:17:31.100
We begin with a big report in the Daily Mail. It says the majority of gender-confused children grow
00:17:38.980
out of the feeling by the time they are fully grown adults, according to a long-term study.
00:17:44.720
Researchers in the Netherlands tracked more than 2,700 children from age 11 to their mid-20s,
00:17:50.920
asking them every three years of feelings about their gender. Results showed at the start of the
00:17:55.660
research around 1 in 10 children, 11 percent, expressed gender non-contentedness to varying
00:18:01.360
degrees. But by age 25, just 1 in 25 or 4 percent said they often or sometimes were discontent with
00:18:08.760
their gender. The researchers concluded, quote, the results of the current study might help
00:18:13.940
adolescents to realize that it is normal to have some doubts about one's identity and one's gender
00:18:18.500
identity during this age period, that this is also relatively common. It comes amid a massive boom
00:18:23.880
and transgender children receiving drugs to change their gender in the U.S. As critics say,
00:18:28.180
doctors and parents are not challenging young people enough. Patrick Brown, a fellow at the
00:18:32.820
Conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center, who was not involved in the research, told DailyMail.com,
00:18:37.260
quote, this study provides even more reason to be skeptical towards aggressive steps to facilitate
00:18:42.400
gender transition in childhood and adolescence. Yeah, reason to be skeptical.
00:18:50.220
I mean, that's the very nice and generous way of putting it. Really, it's reason to reject the
00:19:00.300
butchery of children entirely. And we had all the reason we needed before it, before this study came
00:19:05.400
out. Because, of course, the first reaction you have to a study like this when you hear about the
00:19:09.580
results is like, of course, of course, of course they grow out of it. Any rational adult already knew
00:19:18.180
that. And as I've been saying now for years, this is something that we intuitively know.
00:19:26.240
We know from any adult who has experience raising children or being around kids or teaching kids,
00:19:33.420
you know that from that experience. That's something you know about children.
00:19:39.140
But you also know because if you were a child at one time, which we all were if we're adults now,
00:19:44.200
just from your own experience of being a child, whether you experienced, quote, unquote, gender
00:19:50.860
non-contentedness or not, you know that it is very common for children to go through phases
00:19:59.520
where they say they want something, where they feel not content with something, and then they grow out
00:20:05.620
of it. It's a very common thing. And we all always knew that. We didn't need any studies.
00:20:11.900
And the problem is that our ability to confirm this obvious fact with studies has been very limited
00:20:23.360
by the fact that we have not been doing this horrible thing to children for very long.
00:20:30.840
This is a new phenomenon where we start, where trans ideology in general, but especially the way
00:20:38.040
that it's imposed on children, and in particular at this scale, is something that just started
00:20:44.180
happening in the last 10 years and has really ramped up over the last, I'd say, five years.
00:20:52.980
And when it first started, you know, when the trans ideologues first started really going after the
00:21:01.520
children, and they said, oh, we need to start transitioning children. And we said, no, that's insane.
00:21:08.500
Don't do that. And what was their response? Well, where's your studies? Where's your studies proving
00:21:13.280
that this is harmful? Where's your studies proving that it's harmful to chemically castrate children?
00:21:20.460
Well, again, you don't need a study to prove something that any rational, even vaguely morally
00:21:27.520
decent adult already knows. But also, how can we have studies about it? You just started doing this.
00:21:33.160
Studies of who exactly? Well, now that this has been going on for a while, it's only really just now
00:21:44.020
that we can start to see the real credible long-term studies. Because against the objections of some of
00:21:52.880
us, of many of us, but not enough of us, they proceeded anyway and used a generation of children
00:21:59.320
like lab rats. The gender ideologues did. And now we're starting to see the results of these lab
00:22:06.880
experiments. And all of the results, every single result vindicates everything that those of us on
00:22:15.720
Team Sanity have been saying all along. Because of course, of course it does.
00:22:22.200
Now, what's going to be the spin from the trans activists? Well, here's why. And I think this is
00:22:31.900
basically going to be it. This kind of sums it up. This is from Aerie Drennan, who's a male who
00:22:37.480
identifies as a female, works for Media Matters, trans activists. Aerie Drennan responding to this study.
00:22:44.640
And here's what he says. Number one, this is why clinicians provide gender-affirming care to minor
00:22:50.820
patients who are insistent, consistent, and persistent. Number two, let's all agree that
00:22:56.340
there are some subset of people unhappy with their gender who don't grow out of it. What if we treated
00:23:00.940
them like human beings? Well, just to that second point, yeah, we should treat everybody like human
00:23:06.120
beings, which means we don't chemically castrate anyone. Unless we're talking about adult sex
00:23:15.540
offenders and we're doing it as a punishment in a way of protecting children. Well, yeah, in that case,
00:23:21.420
sure. Which, as you know, it just so happens that the drugs that are used to chemically castrate
00:23:27.800
sex offenders are also used on kids now. But aside from that group of sex predators, the way that you
00:23:35.020
treat people like human beings, particularly children, is by not butchering them, by not castrating them,
00:23:40.980
by not sterilizing them. But also notice something else, too, on the second point. We'll get to his
00:23:47.980
first point in a second. Notice something, too, on the second point. He says, let's all agree that there are
00:23:53.300
some subset of people unhappy with their gender who don't grow out of it. Now, notice the phrase
00:24:02.740
unhappy with their gender. That alone, even putting aside how most of the rest of this is just totally
00:24:11.360
false, but that alone is a shift in the goalposts that you should notice. I want you to notice this
00:24:19.380
as this happens now with the transactive. They're shifting the goalposts. Because what do they say
00:24:24.400
up until now? They said that, no, these people, whether kids or adults who want to change gender,
00:24:32.020
you know, a male identifies as a female, it's because that male really is a female. You know,
00:24:37.760
and they can never explain how, but in some kind of mysterious spiritual way, you know,
00:24:45.880
the 13-year-old boy who says that he's a girl really is a girl. And so he's expressing,
00:24:51.660
right, his inner identity. That was the claim. But now what they're saying is that a trans person
00:25:00.960
is, you know, a trans, a quote-unquote trans woman is not a man who really is a woman, but rather a man
00:25:09.320
who is unhappy with being a man. But do you see how that's actually a different claim?
00:25:22.340
It's a claim that gets a little closer to the truth.
00:25:27.320
You know, that many of these trans-identified people, it's like, we think of them as confused,
00:25:33.520
and when it comes to children, they actually are confused, but in particular with the adults.
00:25:37.060
You look, for example, at the grown men who, quote-unquote, transition later in life,
00:25:42.980
the Rachel Levines of the world. We often talk about them like they're confused, but
00:25:49.560
you know, they actually aren't, most of them. They don't think they really are women.
00:25:56.200
They just wish that they were women, which again is a different thing.
00:26:03.020
Now, in both cases, you're not a woman, and that's all that really matters.
00:26:07.060
But now you have the trans-activist sort of admitting that, oh, no, no, well, this isn't
00:26:10.700
really, this isn't a reflection of any deep, like, reality of the person. It's just their desire.
00:26:18.440
And if you're admitting that it's a desire, then that's all the more reason why we don't
00:26:23.900
treat it like a medical phenomenon. We don't treat it as something to be addressed with medicine.
00:26:29.340
But let's go to the first point. This is why clinicians provide gender-affirming care to
00:26:37.180
minor patients who are insistent, consistent, and persistent.
00:26:41.760
So that's going to be what they say, and this is going to be the response.
00:26:47.360
Well, yeah, of course there are kids who grow out of, who say something and they grow out of it,
00:26:51.720
but, you know, we don't, we very carefully weed those kids out because we only provide this
00:26:57.280
quote-unquote care to kids who are insistent, consistent, and persistent.
00:27:02.600
And of course, the first problem there is, well, how do you define that?
00:27:05.840
What do you mean insistent, consistent, and persistent?
00:27:09.240
Acting like that has some really clear, delineated definition
00:27:13.540
where the lines of what is persistent versus not is a very, very clear line there.
00:27:25.120
But also, to the extent that we can objectively define this concept of being insistent and persistent
00:27:31.560
and consistent, well, children very often say they want things persistently and insistently,
00:27:51.080
You can have a child who goes through a phase, a persistent, consistent, insistent phase,
00:27:57.080
which, by the way, kids are insistent about anything.
00:27:59.620
So whatever a kid says, whatever they want in any given moment,
00:28:06.040
That's just, that's just, well, that's a reflection of the fact that they're kids.
00:28:08.500
But consistent and persistent, well, a kid can go through a phase that lasts a long time.
00:28:17.200
And then, and then they become adults, and the phase is over.
00:28:23.140
And they'll look back on that phase with a mixture of amusement and embarrassment.
00:28:30.280
Now, unless they happen to be in this unfortunate category where the medical industry has come in
00:28:36.860
and exploited that phase and destroyed their bodies,
00:28:40.340
and now they're going to look back on it, not with embarrassment.
00:28:43.640
There might be embarrassment, but, but it's, it's going to be a much more,
00:28:51.440
I mean, my, just to give you one example, and any parent can look at any of their kids
00:29:04.020
My son, 10 years old, has insisted for years now, insisted that when he grows up,
00:29:16.380
He wants to build a log cabin and live in the woods and have no electricity.
00:29:23.880
And he wants to hunt game and have a little garden and just live in the woods like,
00:29:29.720
He wants to be Daniel Boone, basically, is what he wants to do.
00:29:31.620
And he, when he, when he goes, and he's been saying this for years.
00:29:34.540
I mean, at least since he was six years old, he's been saying, this is any,
00:29:38.120
the first moment we started having conversations with, with my son about,
00:29:45.960
Right now, this is a different kind of thing because that desire of his to like,
00:29:50.460
want to go live in the woods and hunt animals, that's actually healthy and good.
00:29:54.380
So it's not like a young boy saying he wants to be a girl.
00:29:57.600
That's, that's a sign that something's going wrong here.
00:29:59.580
That is a sign of confusion and possibly other things as well.
00:30:03.540
But in my case, with my son, it's a perfectly normal, healthy thing for a boy to want.
00:30:07.860
If he gets, if he becomes an adult and he really goes and pursues that, fantastic.
00:30:13.800
You know, it's, you might not be able to maintain it for very long.
00:30:15.960
But if you're a young man and you're, you're single and you want to go try that, um, absolutely.
00:30:23.280
But my point is that the fact that he's been insisting on this, you know, for, for years
00:30:31.500
as a 10 year old, does that mean that by the time he's an adult, he's still going to want
00:30:37.760
And again, in this case, if he wants to, then great, because this is actually a healthy
00:30:45.580
I mean, I know as the adult that, and I'm, I'm supportive of it when he talks about it,
00:30:49.660
it's fine, but we could easily fast forward, uh, 12 years, he's 22 years old.
00:30:56.160
He could be working somewhere where he wears a suit every day and he goes and works in the
00:30:59.380
I mean, it's possible just because he's saying it now doesn't mean that he's going to want
00:31:06.700
This is how the phases of childhood works and they can last for a long time.
00:31:10.460
So to extend the analogy, like what if, um, you know, what if there was some magical switch
00:31:20.800
that I could flip right now to lock him into that?
00:31:29.620
So what if I could switch a flip and it's like, okay, that's what you're going to do.
00:31:33.740
All other options are, are gone and that is who you're going to be.
00:31:37.440
That's what you're going to do when you grow up.
00:31:39.040
Would I, would I flip that switch at 10 years old?
00:31:43.840
Would I even do something less committal than that?
00:31:46.140
Would I go and like, okay, well, let's go buy the plot of land in the woods.
00:31:48.880
Let's, uh, let's dig a well, pay now to dig the well.
00:31:56.500
Um, and this is a reality of kids that again, any rational person understands.
00:32:02.920
And the thing you have to understand is that the, uh, the people who are pushing this,
00:32:07.600
they, even though we go through great lengths to explain all of these facts, the people pushing
00:32:16.480
They well understand how kids are, that they go through phases, that they don't know what
00:32:22.940
they want, that they have underdeveloped brains.
00:32:28.020
This is a neurological reality that kids have underdeveloped brains.
00:32:31.940
They do not have the capacity to make long-term decisions.
00:32:35.280
They just can't, which is why as an adult, you can look back at yourself as a kid and some
00:32:40.840
of the things that you did and said, and some of the ways that you acted and you look back
00:32:45.060
on it, it's like, you're looking back at the life of some other person.
00:32:47.420
You know, you don't even like, why did I, what the hell was I thinking?
00:32:51.240
Well, it's like, well, you were thinking, but you were thinking with a brain that wasn't
00:32:55.500
That's why it feels alien even to you as, and that was you as a person.
00:33:00.840
The people pushing this, they know all of that.
00:33:03.200
In fact, they know it all too well, which is all the more reason why they want to get
00:33:09.160
these kids on drugs as early as possible to, to, to trap them, to trap them in this
00:33:15.060
They know, they know that the kids will grow out of it, and that is why they want to get
00:33:27.560
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a bill that will allow squatters in the state
00:33:32.240
DeSantis signed the bill HB 621 during a news conference Wednesday in Orlando, promising
00:33:40.400
Before the bill, squatters were considered to be tenants and a process was required to evict
00:33:44.040
them, but now this bill strips squatters of those rights.
00:33:47.960
Lawmakers overwhelmingly passed the bill, which allows law enforcement to immediately remove
00:33:51.620
squatters who don't have a lease authorized by the owner of the property.
00:33:54.880
And here is Governor DeSantis talking about this bill.
00:33:58.140
But all the more reason why what we did last week to make sure we're not going to allow
00:34:04.240
these squatters to commandeer private property is really important because you do have people
00:34:09.100
that will live here seven, eight months of the year.
00:34:11.780
Maybe they live, go to Maine or New York or even, we got a lot of Canucks that come down
00:34:20.120
And again, this isn't most Floridians, but we probably have more in our state that do
00:34:27.660
You go and then you come back four months later and someone sets up shop in your house and
00:34:35.720
And then in some of these states, the property owner is the one that actually gets arrested
00:34:42.300
You don't have a right to squat in somebody's property.
00:34:45.160
And so if you try to squat in the state of Florida, the homeowner has a very quick remedy.
00:34:51.400
You call the sheriff and you guys will have a sheriff soon here in this county.
00:34:55.860
You call the sheriff, they send people and they evict the squatters from your residence.
00:35:06.060
The thing I love about this and so much of what DeSantis does is, first of all, he proves
00:35:09.660
that the solutions, in fact, to most of these problems are very simple.
00:35:12.860
So there's so many problems we have in society that we're told, you know, those in charge,
00:35:19.740
the powers that be, the elites will tell us that, well, there's no simple solution.
00:35:27.440
Yeah, you might think there's a solution, but there really isn't.
00:35:30.840
And there are so many other, whatever you try to do, there's so many side effects of that
00:35:36.860
And then you have a, when you have an effective leader like DeSantis come along, he proves
00:35:44.540
Just, it's like, it's easy to prove that someone is squatting in your residence and they don't
00:35:50.900
And if you can prove it, then you just have them kicked out.
00:35:55.980
They got to break down the door, break down the door.
00:35:58.140
And then, you know, really the squatter should have to pay for it, whatever damage is done.
00:36:04.660
We don't need to sit around talking about, well, what do we do?
00:36:07.280
There's someone in this house and they want to be in the house, but they don't belong there.
00:36:18.060
And any claim that it's not as simple as that is belied by someone like DeSantis, who
00:36:26.820
says, okay, well, this is what we're going to do.
00:36:33.400
And that's the great thing about Ron DeSantis and why we need many more Republican leaders
00:36:44.260
This is, this is the way, it shouldn't be shocking to have a Republican governor that does
00:36:48.060
That a Republican governor that sees there's a problem and says, oh, okay, well, we'll
00:36:53.460
We'll pass a law and, you know, like laws do matter.
00:36:56.680
You can actually fix a lot of problems by, with a law.
00:37:00.360
You can't fix every problem with a law and you can't fix any problem absolutely perfectly,
00:37:04.360
but you can, you can go, it could go a long way.
00:37:09.240
Imagine that having laws and then, and then enforcing those laws with the people that you
00:37:17.720
Which, which is more evidence that decline is a choice.
00:37:24.560
And that, and that the kind of lawless anarchy that you see in many places of the country
00:37:34.460
And so at least Ron DeSantis identifies the problem and solves it, but that is just not
00:37:46.920
I think that normal people, whether they identify as conservatives or not, who are just like living
00:37:55.480
You know, they value a leader who sees problems and tries to fix it and is always working to
00:38:00.340
like make your life, but they want to make it, they want to make your life better.
00:38:04.420
Our political leaders, it's, it's not their, you know, they're not the primary ones in charge
00:38:10.500
You have to take charge of that yourself, but that should be their overarching goal.
00:38:14.620
Um, and I think normal people appreciate that, but in particular, I guess I would say the
00:38:25.100
kind of commentariat, the conservative commentariat, the pundits and so on, uh, don't value it enough
00:38:32.140
are not nearly as impressed as they should be by conservative leaders who actually accomplish
00:38:41.100
I think one of it is that it's just, it's, it's not as interesting.
00:38:45.520
You know, the solution to the problem is not as interesting as the problem.
00:38:51.280
And I think for a lot of conservatives, they, they, they honest to God, they'd rather have
00:38:54.540
the problem to complain about than the solution.
00:38:59.300
And, um, that alone explains some of the negative reception or the kind of, uh, lukewarm
00:39:07.660
or more indifferent reception that the Santa's has received.
00:39:11.960
This is a, one of the things I want to play for you.
00:39:14.940
This is a, a, uh, uh, lesbian woman talking about how she regrets, regrets fighting for
00:39:23.340
And we've heard, you know, we've heard this sentiment expressed, um, more and more recently
00:39:31.000
But I think this is the most sort of direct expression of it.
00:39:36.100
I don't understand what is so hard about correcting other people.
00:39:45.660
I'm so sorry for all the pain and suffering I went through.
00:39:51.840
And had I known y'all were going to take it this far, I wish I could go back in time and
00:39:58.140
not fight for gay rights and just live a nice, quiet, silent life on my own.
00:40:03.400
We thought that's what we were fighting for was just nice, quiet, fitting in, being just
00:40:11.320
But I didn't know y'all were going to take it this far.
00:40:19.880
So, um, this message I appreciate because she's actually saying she's sorry she did it.
00:40:29.460
Um, and so there's a, there's a certain awareness there, apparently a certain self-awareness that
00:40:36.200
I can appreciate, um, but there's still a couple of points here, which is that, and this
00:40:48.600
is not to rub it into this woman, you know, specifically because she's already said, you
00:40:58.380
Um, one thing is that this, this was entirely foreseeable.
00:41:05.840
So it's, it's not like this, this did not come out of left field.
00:41:10.040
The fact that we went from the gay rights movement to the trans, the trans agenda and
00:41:16.440
57,000 genders and pronouns and castrating children, like all of that.
00:41:22.240
So what we can't allow is for people now to, uh, pretend like, well, this is as if, as
00:41:31.280
if, as if things veered off course, so as if this was the sort of the gay rights movement
00:41:35.620
veering off course and in a very sudden, unpredictable, unforeseeable way, that's not what happened.
00:41:49.000
That's why that's the point of the slippery slope is that it, the slippery slope is
00:41:54.560
I mean, you can, you can fallaciously describe something as a slippery slope when it isn't,
00:42:01.580
And the whole point of slippery slope is it's a, it's a simple observation that one thing
00:42:09.040
And so there are some of us, you know, we listen to the left, they make an argument,
00:42:17.160
And, and, and here's the reason why we want this.
00:42:24.260
Well, there are some of us who look at that and we say, well, okay, here's, here's the principle
00:42:35.200
And well, geez, I mean, that argument, if that argument justifies a, you know, a is what
00:42:43.140
Well, but that, that same argument, if it's true, would also justify B, C, D, E, and F.
00:42:47.220
And so if, if we, if we give you A, if we accept A, then, then we have already accepted
00:42:56.920
B, C, D, and E, and F because we've accepted the argument.
00:43:03.160
That's anytime someone correctly points out a slippery slope, that's, that is what they're
00:43:08.560
And so this was all, this was all totally foreseeable, not out of left field.
00:43:11.760
This was the, this was the track that we were on.
00:43:19.600
I told you so, but, um, some of us did tell you so we just did.
00:43:29.220
And I, I think that that is an important observation to make because the one thing, you know, we've
00:43:37.860
heard so many versions of what, of that video, um, someone who's formerly in the gay rights
00:43:44.700
movement, someone who's sort of on the left, uh, someone who's more like Bill Maher's camp
00:43:50.020
And, and, and they're looking at things like the trans agenda and they're saying, this is
00:43:55.100
And then they get applauded by people on the right.
00:43:58.380
But the one thing I think we never hear from those people, whether it's this woman or Bill
00:44:05.060
Maher or anybody in that whole world, we never hear them say, well, you know what, uh, turns
00:44:12.040
out that the social conservatives who I absolutely smeared for years and defamed and accused them
00:44:27.140
I, you know, I wanted them to be kicked off as a social media.
00:44:29.460
I mean, it turns out those people were actually right about this.
00:44:37.620
They apparently were not just like drooling more on bigots.
00:44:45.620
So, you know, that's the, that's the next part that I've never heard any of these people
00:44:56.500
Not because it makes those of us who are right about it feel good.
00:45:01.460
It, it, it just, one of the important reasons, reasons why it's important to acknowledge that
00:45:06.420
is that, you know, we, we are, we are making the same kinds of points now about other things
00:45:15.620
And we're saying, well, look, this is where this is going to lead.
00:45:20.500
And, and we've been right every step of the way.
00:45:25.600
Every time the social conservatives have been right about everything.
00:45:30.880
For as long as the term social conservative has been used, they have been right about everything.
00:45:41.340
And so just once, I'd love to hear one of these people acknowledge that.
00:45:45.620
Um, sort of on this same note, I also wanted to mention this.
00:45:52.180
Ali London, uh, tweeted this transgender runner, Cece Telfer displaced a female athlete during
00:45:57.280
the finals of the women's invitational 60 meter hurdles in Boston earlier this year.
00:46:01.700
During the race, he qualified for the final of the event, finishing fifth in the preliminary
00:46:05.460
events, but went on to disqualify himself during the deciding race.
00:46:08.600
Telfer, who was six foot, two inches, previously competed as a man, became the first trans athlete
00:46:17.100
So, um, and yeah, Cece Telfer, you've probably heard that that name has been, uh, in the news
00:46:23.600
for years now because this guy has been stealing, um, titles and, and, and, and medals from,
00:46:31.320
But the point is that Caitlyn Jenner responded to that tweet is what Caitlyn Jenner said.
00:46:41.520
How can men and women, mothers and fathers stand idly by and allow this to happen to their
00:46:47.380
We cannot vote for people, thems that want this insanity to persist.
00:46:53.260
So Caitlyn Jenner is the perfect example of what I was just talking about.
00:46:56.660
Uh, this, this is like the principal offender, um, and Jenner is often because, because Jenner
00:47:05.320
calls himself a Republican and supports Trump, uh, he's amplified by other conservatives who
00:47:11.420
like to point to Caitlyn Jenner and say, Oh, look, there's a trans person who's on our
00:47:15.520
But once again, like some of the stuff that Jenner is saying now is correct.
00:47:21.760
Um, no self-awareness though, um, no acknowledgement of his own faults, nothing, no apology, nothing.
00:47:32.440
And it's like conservatives are just going to let him get away with that.
00:47:34.760
Caitlyn Jenner, you have to understand about Jenner.
00:47:37.560
There is probably no human, single human being on this earth alive today who did more to
00:47:50.800
He has done more than any other living person to make this insanity mainstream.
00:47:58.820
And now in the last couple of years, he's tried to rebrand as one of the rational ones
00:48:03.100
without ever acknowledging that we're all supposed to pretend like it didn't happen.
00:48:09.740
I just, I don't want to hear it from you until you acknowledge, until you give back your woman
00:48:15.240
You apologize for all of the, I mean, this is not one of the like performative public apologies
00:48:23.700
This is like, you have, you have harmed society in, in unspeakable ways.
00:48:29.480
You specifically have done this and have never once even acknowledged that.
00:48:37.620
Now I believe in forgiveness, but how can you forgive something when there's no acknowledgement,
00:48:41.720
there's no repentance, there's no apology, nothing.
00:48:48.860
But it's also important because, uh, Caitlin, you say that this is insane.
00:49:01.520
Why is it insane to let CeCe Telfer race against women?
00:49:10.260
The only thing that makes it insane is that he is not a woman.
00:49:14.040
If he was a woman, if trans women are women, then it's not crazy.
00:49:18.800
Of course he, if he's a woman, a woman, even if he's six foot, two inches, two inches tall,
00:49:22.160
if he's actually a woman, then he should compete against women.
00:49:26.960
The only thing that makes it crazy is that he's not a woman.
00:49:31.360
So are you, Caitlyn Jenner, saying that trans women are not women?
00:49:36.840
Are you saying that you yourself are not a woman?
00:49:42.180
Because if you're not saying that, then your criticism of this makes no sense.
00:49:47.440
If you are saying about yourself, hey, I'm not really a woman.
00:49:56.740
It's not going to undo the enormous, unspeakable damage you have done to society.
00:50:16.000

00:51:16.800
are both expansive and they strike envy in the hearts of everyone.
00:51:21.280
Diocratic fascist, hit podcast host, best-selling children's author,
00:51:26.800
acclaimed actor, Virginia resident, let's not forget.
00:51:30.040
But the truth is, all of these things were mere stepping stones on the road to my true calling.
00:51:34.580
In my new series, Judged by Matt Walsh, premiering April 9th on Daily Wire Plus,
00:51:38.640
real plaintiffs will stand before me with real cases.
00:51:42.320
Would a jury of peers be less painful for these petty claims?
00:51:47.300
Would it maybe be smarter for them to go to a court like that?
00:51:54.400
So take a look at the official trailer for my new series, Judged by Matt Walsh, now.
00:52:19.280
Why would I pay rent to somebody who had sex with my sister?
00:52:24.480
If he didn't want me to drop the car, he would have took the key.
00:52:29.160
Has anyone told you you're the worst negotiator that's ever lived?
00:52:31.860
I've never been more annoyed than I am in this moment.
00:53:24.100
Well, with all due respect to Stephen Colbert, who many would argue should lay claim to this title,
00:53:29.060
Jimmy Kimmel is still the least funny late night comedy host in the history of television.
00:53:33.780
At least Colbert appears to be a tempting comedy most of the time.
00:53:38.780
You know, there's a setup followed by what we can deduce is probably meant to be a punchline.
00:53:46.780
They don't even resemble jokes in the first place.
00:53:48.660
Case in point, this week, Kimmel has gotten some attention online for a monologue where he
00:53:52.820
complains bitterly about his own country and says that Japan is better.
00:53:57.500
Once again, it's not clear where the jokes are supposed to be in this diatribe.
00:54:03.240
I took my family to Japan this week, and I have to say, I'm still not sure how I feel
00:54:09.800
You know, here in America, we know we have our faults.
00:54:13.920
But overall, I think most of us believe that compared to the rest of the world, we're pretty
00:54:20.180
I go to Europe, and there were dirt holes where plumbing is supposed to be, and I hold
00:54:25.000
my breath, and I go, I'm glad I'm not one of these people.
00:54:29.440
But now, after traveling to Japan, I realize that this place, this USA we're always chanting
00:54:40.540
Not only did I not encounter a single dirty bathroom, the bathrooms in Tokyo and Kyoto
00:54:51.820
They have those toilets that wash you from the inside out.
00:54:54.180
And not just in the hotel, restaurants, bars, truck stops.
00:55:00.100
I swear to God, the bathroom's cleaner than Jennifer Garner's teeth.
00:55:12.940
It's 30 years ago, some terrorists put some poisonous gas in some trash cans.
00:55:26.520
It's like the whole country is Disneyland and we're living at Six Flags.
00:55:48.080
So it's a good thing that there's a sign in the room telling people to laugh because
00:55:51.760
otherwise they wouldn't have had any idea where the jokes were and where one joke ends
00:55:57.620
But leaving aside the general unfunniness of his rant, there are three other issues that
00:56:02.360
And the first is that Kimmel, as someone who lives in Los Angeles, says that America is
00:56:08.040
But that's like someone sitting at a Waffle House at 2 a.m. and declaring that restaurants
00:56:13.080
are grimy and depressing places where fistfights randomly break out.
00:56:17.440
Now, that statement would be true of the particular restaurant the person happens to be sitting in.
00:56:21.760
But it's not true of all restaurants in general.
00:56:24.360
In fact, there are many restaurants in this country that are quite clean and peaceful
00:56:27.340
and serve high-quality food in a classy atmosphere.
00:56:30.780
So in a similar way, yes, Los Angeles is filthy and disgusting.
00:56:34.580
It is a miserable place, unfit for human occupation.
00:56:37.200
But not every place in America is like Los Angeles.
00:56:41.820
The disgusting filthiness is really only found in Democrat-controlled metropolitan areas.
00:56:46.660
Although, yes, they manage to have, in Japan, they have managed to have big cities that are
00:56:54.840
not glorified trash cans with drug-addled hobos defecating on the sidewalk.
00:57:03.260
The problem with leftist goobers like Jimmy Kimmel is that they'll make these kinds of observations
00:57:08.980
about places like Japan, but then exhibit no curiosity as to why Japan is like that.
00:57:16.120
They simply make the observation and then move on.
00:57:19.140
These people are so dim-witted and incurious that they can notice a stark, shocking difference
00:57:24.060
like this, that Japan's cities are clean and safe while ours are garbage dumps, without
00:57:29.540
ever stopping for even a moment to reflect on the how and the why.
00:57:34.020
Or even worse, they'll notice something like this, they'll notice the what, and they'll
00:57:39.760
bring it up for discussion, but then stridently condemn anyone who tries to talk about the
00:57:46.500
Now, in this case, the how and why are obvious, obvious to anyone who isn't Jimmy Kimmel or
00:57:54.860
In fact, the report this week says that the Japanese government is bringing in over 800,000
00:57:59.560
foreign workers to deal with labor shortages, and those labor shortages are caused largely
00:58:03.320
by the fact that Japan has the oldest population in the world with record low birth rates.
00:58:08.820
In the next 50 years, the country's population is expected to decline by 30%.
00:58:12.460
In the next several decades, nearly half of the population will be senior citizens, all
00:58:19.460
So, you know, if you go to Tokyo in the not-so-distant future, it may not be the paradise that Jimmy
00:58:26.040
But putting aside Japan's slow-motion extinction for a moment, the fact is that right now, and
00:58:34.100
for all of Japan's history before this, back when, you know, even back when they were still
00:58:37.180
having babies, Japan is and has been a homogenous country.
00:58:41.340
Nearly everyone in the country is Japanese by nationality, and the vast majority of those
00:58:47.520
It is a country where nearly everyone shares one language, one ethnicity, one culture.
00:58:54.660
And that culture is one that values discipline, hard work, education.
00:58:59.900
Japanese people also have a very high average IQ.
00:59:05.320
And this is an important point because, and this is, now we get into very unforbidden territory
00:59:09.740
here, but plenty of other countries are relatively homogenous, right, but their cultures are inferior
00:59:17.680
to Japanese culture, and their people generally have much lower IQs.
00:59:23.860
So homogeneity itself does not make an advanced, clean, safe, and orderly society.
00:59:30.020
Homogeneity in a sophisticated culture with high IQ people is what does that.
00:59:35.780
So you can see why Kimmel doesn't want to talk about the why.
00:59:38.560
He doesn't want to talk about it because Japan has made itself so enviably clean and safe
00:59:43.540
and orderly precisely by rejecting Kimmel's own worldview.
00:59:47.960
So Kimmel, as an avowed leftist, believes that diversity is our strength, that we should open
00:59:52.580
our arms and allow the third world to flood over our borders, that we ought to have no national
00:59:56.480
language, no real culture, that we should treat all cultures the same.
01:00:01.340
But Japan is Japan because it has, up to now, done the opposite of all that.
01:00:05.740
And now Kimmel excoriates America for not being like Japan, while insisting that we must not
01:00:12.020
do any of the things Japan has done to make itself that way.
01:00:15.820
And we should continue doing all of the things that make our cities dirty and disgusting,
01:00:20.060
even as he complains that our cities are dirty and disgusting.
01:00:24.540
You know, there are things that we can do to make our cities cleaner and safer.
01:00:30.500
You know, we're not going to get to Japan levels, probably.
01:00:38.360
Our cities don't need to be post-apocalyptic wastelands.
01:00:42.540
It's just that Kimmel, while complaining that the cities are not cleaned up,
01:00:45.620
doesn't want to do any of the necessary things to clean them up.
01:00:48.780
And those things would include, first of all, shutting down illegal immigration,
01:00:55.280
drastically reducing and restricting legal immigration,
01:00:58.840
enforcing the laws in our cities strictly and severely,
01:01:02.780
outlawing vagrancy, rounding up the mentally ill people living on the street,
01:01:07.180
the ones incapable of being productive members of society,
01:01:09.600
putting them in institutions, punishing drug dealers and drug consumers,
01:01:14.720
taking repeat offenders, even those whose repeat offenses are relatively minor,
01:01:22.960
strictly enforcing the laws against vandalism, littering, loitering,
01:01:59.180
He and his liberal friends choose to have an ugly country
01:02:07.540
And that is why he and they are today canceled.
