The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1340 - The Euthanasia Business Is Booming As Western Civilization Gives Up On Itself

00:00:00.000 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 1.00

00:00:21.080 compared to a country like Japan. But why is that? That's the question that he doesn't want 0.99

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

00:01:59.800 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 0.88

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. 0.75

00:03:16.780 The Canadian state-owned media loves this, of course, by the way. They claim that euthanasia 0.93

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

00:04:11.080 like this, promoting euthanasia. Watch.

00:04:14.240 Death in our society is really hard for people to get their heads around and to talk about it.

00:04:21.600 It's still a taboo subject.

00:04:22.980 Are you right to come down to radiation?

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.

00:04:45.980 It's really teary.

00:04:47.620 Really appreciate it.

00:04:49.160 Aww.

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. 1.00

00:05:00.800 Make a difference in someone's life today by killing them. 0.99

00:05:04.580 Give them a little something extra. That's the pitch in Australia. And it's working. 1.00

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. 0.98

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, 1.00

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, 1.00

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, 1.00

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 0.97

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 0.99

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 0.87

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 1.00

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 1.00

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

00:17:31.100 We begin with a big report in the Daily Mail. It says the majority of gender-confused children grow 0.99

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. 1.00

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 0.92

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 0.90

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 0.53

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 0.63

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?

00:25:16.900 But that is 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, 1.00

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. 1.00

00:25:56.200 They just wish that they were women, which again is a different thing. 0.85

00:26:03.020 Now, in both cases, you're not a woman, and that's all that really matters. 0.99

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 0.94

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.

00:27:22.020 No, it's entirely subjective, obviously.

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,

00:27:39.280 but then grow up and don't want it anymore.

00:27:41.480 That's a very common thing.

00:27:45.240 The phases of childhood can last many months.

00:27:49.200 They can last years.

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,

00:28:02.160 they're going to be insistent about it.

00:28:03.160 That's how kids are.

00:28:04.660 So that, we just leave that aside.

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,

00:28:46.120 certainly there will be no amusement anymore.

00:28:47.940 This is a very common thing for kids.

00:28:51.440 I mean, my, just to give you one example, and any parent can look at any of their kids

00:28:57.600 and come up with dozens of examples of this.

00:29:02.120 I'll give you one example.

00:29:04.020 My son, 10 years old, has insisted for years now, insisted that when he grows up,

00:29:13.760 he wants to go and live in the woods.

00:29:16.380 He wants to build a log cabin and live in the woods and have no electricity.

00:29:22.040 He wants to live like it's the 1700s.

00:29:23.880 And he wants to hunt game and have a little garden and just live in the woods like,

00:29:28.920 like Daniel Boone.

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,

00:29:41.620 well, what do you want to be when you grow up?

00:29:42.660 This has been his answer.

00:29:44.120 And it has not changed.

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.

00:30:12.600 It's a hard life.

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.

00:30:21.780 I would fully support it.

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

00:30:35.440 to go do that?

00:30:36.400 Maybe.

00:30:37.760 And again, in this case, if he wants to, then great, because this is actually a healthy

00:30:42.080 thing, but, but that doesn't mean that at all.

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

00:30:59.160 city.

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

00:31:02.900 that when he's an adult.

00:31:03.500 I know that because this is what these are.

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?

00:31:25.160 I mean, he's been insistent about it.

00:31:27.180 He wants to be Daniel Boone when he grows up.

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.

00:31:32.180 That, that's it.

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?

00:31:41.420 Of course not.

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. 0.99

00:31:51.260 Cause you'll at least need that.

00:31:52.680 Would I do that now?

00:31:54.240 Of course not.

00:31:55.700 He's 10 years old.

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

00:32:14.800 it already, they know it too.

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. 0.57

00:32:25.560 I mean, this is, this is not just a anecdotal.

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

00:32:53.800 fully developed.

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

00:33:14.040 false identity.

00:33:15.060 They know, they know that the kids will grow out of it, and that is why they want to get

00:33:20.280 them on the drugs, so that they can't.

00:33:24.140 All right, this is from NBC Miami.

00:33:27.560 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a bill that will allow squatters in the state

00:33:30.780 to be immediately evicted.

00:33:32.240 DeSantis signed the bill HB 621 during a news conference Wednesday in Orlando, promising

00:33:37.140 that Florida is ending the squatter scam.

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. 0.90

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 1.00

00:34:16.780 here and own property.

00:34:17.580 So you're gone for the whole summer.

00:34:20.120 And again, this isn't most Floridians, but we probably have more in our state that do

00:34:25.400 that than just about any other state.

00:34:27.660 You go and then you come back four months later and someone sets up shop in your house and

00:34:33.220 then they're asserting rights against you.

00:34:35.720 And then in some of these states, the property owner is the one that actually gets arrested

00:34:39.860 when there's a confrontation.

00:34:41.040 That's absurd.

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.

00:35:01.300 That's the way it should be.

00:35:02.480 That's how private property rights work.

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.

00:35:24.080 You know, we're kind of stuck with this.

00:35:25.760 There's nothing we can really do about it.

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

00:35:34.740 that really we're stuck with this.

00:35:35.980 We can't do anything about it.

00:35:36.860 And then you have a, when you have an effective leader like DeSantis come along, he proves

00:35:43.020 that, oh no, it's actually a simple solution.

00:35:44.540 Just, it's like, it's easy to prove that someone is squatting in your residence and they don't

00:35:49.160 belong there.

00:35:49.760 Very easy to prove.

00:35:50.900 And if you can prove it, then you just have them kicked out.

00:35:54.200 That's it.

00:35:54.760 You have law enforcement comes.

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.

00:36:02.260 And you just drag them out.

00:36:03.560 That's it.

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.

00:36:10.800 What do we do about that?

00:36:11.580 I don't know what to do.

00:36:12.700 You drag them out and you bring them to jail.

00:36:15.260 That's the solution.

00:36:17.300 It's so simple.

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.

00:36:28.140 There you go.

00:36:28.860 No more squatting.

00:36:29.740 Not a problem anymore.

00:36:33.400 And that's the great thing about Ron DeSantis and why we need many more Republican leaders

00:36:41.320 like him, where there's a problem.

00:36:44.260 This is, this is the way, it shouldn't be shocking to have a Republican governor that does

00:36:47.340 this.

00:36:48.060 That a Republican governor that sees there's a problem and says, oh, okay, well, we'll

00:36:52.500 solve that.

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.

00:36:59.920 Okay.

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

00:37:13.120 pay to enforce laws, law enforcement.

00:37:15.800 Wow.

00:37:16.300 It's like, it really works.

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

00:37:32.280 is a choice.

00:37:33.020 It doesn't have to be that way.

00:37:34.460 And so at least Ron DeSantis identifies the problem and solves it, but that is just not

00:37:42.300 something that enough conservatives value.

00:37:46.920 I think that normal people, whether they identify as conservatives or not, who are just like living

00:37:52.900 their lives, they value it.

00:37:54.580 Of course.

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.

00:38:04.020 Okay.

00:38:04.420 Our political leaders, it's, it's not their, you know, they're not the primary ones in charge

00:38:09.320 of making your life better.

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

00:38:38.900 things.

00:38:40.220 And why is that?

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.

00:38:48.880 There's not as much to talk about.

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.

00:39:11.440 All right.

00:39:11.960 This is a, one of the things I want to play for you.

00:39:13.240 This video has gone somewhat viral.

00:39:14.940 This is a, a, uh, uh, lesbian woman talking about how she regrets, regrets fighting for 0.68

00:39:21.100 gay rights because of how far it's been taken.

00:39:23.340 And we've heard, you know, we've heard this sentiment expressed, um, more and more recently

00:39:29.600 from people like this.

00:39:31.000 But I think this is the most sort of direct expression of it.

00:39:34.260 Seems to have resonated with a lot of people.

00:39:35.680 Let's watch it.

00:39:36.100 I don't understand what is so hard about correcting other people.

00:39:42.980 I'm so sorry.

00:39:44.320 I fought for gay rights.

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. 0.79

00:40:03.400 We thought that's what we were fighting for was just nice, quiet, fitting in, being just

00:40:09.260 like everyone else.

00:40:11.320 But I didn't know y'all were going to take it this far.

00:40:13.660 I mean, I wish I would have never done it.

00:40:19.520 Okay.

00:40:19.880 So, um, this message I appreciate because she's actually saying she's sorry she did it.

00:40:27.760 It was a mistake.

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

00:40:53.000 know, it's like, this is a mistake.

00:40:54.240 Okay.

00:40:55.760 So general comments about that.

00:40:58.380 Um, one thing is that this, this was entirely foreseeable.

00:41:05.120 Okay.

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. 1.00

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.

00:41:42.880 This was always the destination.

00:41:48.440 Okay.

00:41:49.000 That's why that's the point of the slippery slope is that it, the slippery slope is

00:41:52.220 slope.

00:41:52.800 It's not a fallacy.

00:41:54.560 I mean, you can, you can fallaciously describe something as a slippery slope when it isn't,

00:41:58.840 but there are slippery slopes.

00:42:01.580 And the whole point of slippery slope is it's a, it's a simple observation that one thing

00:42:06.720 leads to another.

00:42:09.040 And so there are some of us, you know, we listen to the left, they make an argument,

00:42:13.700 they say, well, we want this.

00:42:14.940 This is what we want right now.

00:42:16.040 This is the right that we're claiming.

00:42:17.160 And, and, and here's the reason why we want this.

00:42:20.540 Here's our argument for 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

00:42:29.920 that you're claiming.

00:42:32.040 Here's the argument you're making.

00:42:35.200 And well, geez, I mean, that argument, if that argument justifies a, you know, a is what

00:42:41.640 you're going for.

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.

00:43:01.540 That's the whole point of the slippery slope.

00:43:03.160 That's anytime someone correctly points out a slippery slope, that's, that is what they're

00:43:06.740 saying.

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.

00:43:17.220 Which is why, again, this is not gloating.

00:43:19.600 I told you so, but, um, some of us did tell you so we just did.

00:43:25.380 And, uh, and, uh, we were ignored.

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

00:43:49.660 or whatever.

00:43:50.020 And, and, and they're looking at things like the trans agenda and they're saying, this is

00:43:54.620 too far.

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

00:44:21.400 of being bigots and hateful.

00:44:22.660 I said the worst things about them. 0.98

00:44:24.700 I tried to shut them down.

00:44:26.120 I tried to shut them up.

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.

00:44:32.900 I should have listened to those people.

00:44:37.620 They apparently were not just like drooling more on bigots.

00:44:41.080 They actually understood.

00:44:42.260 They had an insight that I didn't have.

00:44:45.620 So, you know, that's the, that's the next part that I've never heard any of these people

00:44:52.860 say, but that part is really important.

00:44:56.500 Not because it makes those of us who are right about it feel good.

00:44:59.000 That's not the point.

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

00:45:13.660 the left is doing.

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.

00:45:37.680 Back before I was born.

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 0.98

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

00:46:12.820 to win an NCAA title back in 2019.

00:46:16.840 Okay.

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,

00:46:29.020 from women, uh, since high school.

00:46:31.320 But the point is that Caitlyn Jenner responded to that tweet is what Caitlyn Jenner said.

00:46:38.380 This is so wrong.

00:46:39.960 How can we allow this to continue?

00:46:41.520 How can men and women, mothers and fathers stand idly by and allow this to happen to their

00:46:45.180 daughters?

00:46:46.120 We, the people are fed up.

00:46:47.380 We cannot vote for people, thems that want this insanity to persist.

00:46:51.160 Girls are getting hurt. 0.79

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

00:47:14.500 side.

00:47:15.520 But once again, like some of the stuff that Jenner is saying now is correct.

00:47:19.380 I mean, everything in this tweet here is true.

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.

00:47:36.940 Okay.

00:47:37.560 There is probably no human, single human being on this earth alive today who did more to

00:47:45.280 mainstream trans ideology than, than Jenner.

00:47:49.340 No other single human being.

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.

00:48:08.100 And, uh, I'm sorry.

00:48:09.740 I just, I don't want to hear it from you until you acknowledge, until you give back your woman 1.00

00:48:13.540 of the year award, you repudiate it.

00:48:15.240 You apologize for all of the, I mean, this is not one of the like performative public apologies

00:48:23.120 you call for.

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.

00:48:44.900 There's no forgiveness there.

00:48:46.100 I can't forgive that.

00:48:47.260 I don't forgive it.

00:48:48.380 Nobody should.

00:48:48.860 But it's also important because, uh, Caitlin, you say that this is insane.

00:48:59.980 Why is it insane?

00:49:01.520 Why is it insane to let CeCe Telfer race against women? 1.00

00:49:05.660 What makes it insane?

00:49:07.620 There's only one thing that makes it insane.

00:49:10.260 The only thing that makes it insane is that he is not a woman. 0.99

00:49:14.040 If he was a woman, if trans women are women, then it's not crazy.

00:49:17.440 It's not crazy for him to race against women. 0.98

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, 0.67

00:49:22.160 if he's actually a woman, then he should compete against women. 0.57

00:49:24.620 Who else would he compete against?

00:49:26.960 The only thing that makes it crazy is that he's not a woman. 0.96

00:49:31.360 So are you, Caitlyn Jenner, saying that trans women are not women?

00:49:34.760 Is that what you are saying?

00:49:35.700 Is that what you are saying?

00:49:36.840 Are you saying that you yourself are not a woman?

00:49:38.740 Is that, is that it?

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.

00:49:51.840 I was wrong about this.

00:49:53.000 Well, then, then say that.

00:49:54.780 Now, that would be powerful.

00:49:56.740 It's not going to undo the enormous, unspeakable damage you have done to society.

00:50:00.660 Nothing will ever undo that.

00:50:01.680 You'll take that to your grave.

00:50:03.140 But it, it, it would be something.

00:50:07.060 Yet he hasn't done that. 1.00

00:50:07.980 Because he's an absolute coward. 0.99

00:50:11.200 And we shouldn't let him get away with that. 1.00

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?

00:51:45.720 Absolutely.

00:51:47.300 Would it maybe be smarter for them to go to a court like that?

00:51:50.620 Probably.

00:51:51.800 Would it be as entertaining for us?

00:51:53.860 Absolutely not.

00:51:54.400 So take a look at the official trailer for my new series, Judged by Matt Walsh, now.

00:51:58.260 Check it out.

00:51:58.560 All rise for the Honorable Judge Walsh.

00:52:07.080 Please be seated.

00:52:11.520 Miss Goldstein.

00:52:12.420 Mr. Bentley.

00:52:13.140 Mr. Outerbridge.

00:52:14.280 Mr. Spicer.

00:52:14.800 Your Honor.

00:52:15.100 Mr. Barney.

00:52:15.740 Yes, Your Honor.

00:52:16.160 Miss Singh.

00:52:16.580 Yes.

00:52:16.960 At 30,000 feet, my lips exploded. 1.00

00:52:19.280 Why would I pay rent to somebody who had sex with my sister? 1.00

00:52:21.820 A dog bit my finger. 0.99

00:52:22.880 He's allergic like the grass.

00:52:24.480 If he didn't want me to drop the car, he would have took the key.

00:52:26.240 I had it with him.

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. 0.92

00:52:41.960 Not even closing.

00:52:43.460 That does it.

00:52:44.380 Please get the hell out of my court. 1.00

00:52:45.340 I didn't pass the bar.

00:53:15.340 But I'm here to lower it.

00:53:17.200 That's a good one.

00:53:17.920 I like that.

00:53:18.960 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

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.

00:53:36.700 He tells things that resemble jokes.

00:53:38.780 You know, there's a setup followed by what we can deduce is probably meant to be a punchline.

00:53:43.460 But Kimmel doesn't even do that. 0.99

00:53:45.200 His jokes aren't only unfunny.

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.

00:54:01.680 Listen.

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

00:54:08.500 about what happened over there.

00:54:09.800 You know, here in America, we know we have our faults.

00:54:12.160 We know we have areas for improvement.

00:54:13.920 But overall, I think most of us believe that compared to the rest of the world, we're pretty

00:54:18.080 buttoned up.

00:54:18.840 I know I did.

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.

00:54:28.200 And then I go back home, right?

00:54:29.440 But now, after traveling to Japan, I realize that this place, this USA we're always chanting 0.99

00:54:34.400 about, is a filthy and disgusting country. 0.93

00:54:38.420 We were in Japan for seven days. 0.95

00:54:40.540 Not only did I not encounter a single dirty bathroom, the bathrooms in Tokyo and Kyoto

00:54:45.260 are cleaner than our operating rooms here.

00:54:48.720 Everywhere you go, the bathrooms are clean.

00:54:50.800 They don't smell bad.

00:54:51.820 They have those toilets that wash you from the inside out. 1.00

00:54:54.180 And not just in the hotel, restaurants, bars, truck stops.

00:54:58.360 I went to two truck stops.

00:55:00.100 I swear to God, the bathroom's cleaner than Jennifer Garner's teeth. 1.00

00:55:03.900 The cleanest.

00:55:05.240 Beautiful.

00:55:06.260 And it's not just the bathroom.

00:55:07.820 There's no litter.

00:55:08.820 People carry their own trash.

00:55:10.760 There are no garbage cans in Tokyo.

00:55:12.940 It's 30 years ago, some terrorists put some poisonous gas in some trash cans.

00:55:17.020 They're like, okay, no more trash cans.

00:55:19.900 Everybody clean up after yourselves.

00:55:21.700 And guess what?

00:55:22.240 They clean up after themselves.

00:55:24.320 They bring their garbage to their houses.

00:55:26.520 It's like the whole country is Disneyland and we're living at Six Flags.

00:55:35.540 I've been home 36 hours.

00:55:37.040 I've never felt dirtier. 0.98

00:55:38.360 We are like hogs compared to the Japanese. 1.00

00:55:41.420 I can't imagine what they must think of us. 1.00

00:55:43.980 Oh, the garbage people. 1.00

00:55:45.060 Yes, the Americans. 1.00

00:55:45.800 Garbage. 1.00

00:55:46.220 Yes. 0.99

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

00:55:56.600 and another begins.

00:55:57.620 But leaving aside the general unfunniness of his rant, there are three other issues that

00:56:01.560 I have with this.

00:56:02.360 And the first is that Kimmel, as someone who lives in Los Angeles, says that America is 0.99

00:56:06.560 a filthy and disgusting country. 0.96

00:56:08.040 But that's like someone sitting at a Waffle House at 2 a.m. and declaring that restaurants 0.97

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. 0.98

00:56:30.780 So in a similar way, yes, Los Angeles is filthy and disgusting. 0.99

00:56:34.580 It is a miserable place, unfit for human occupation. 0.98

00:56:37.200 But not every place in America is like Los Angeles.

00:56:39.640 In fact, most places are not.

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 0.98

00:56:54.840 not glorified trash cans with drug-addled hobos defecating on the sidewalk.

00:56:59.360 So how has Japan pulled that off? 0.54

00:57:01.460 That brings us to the second point.

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. 0.94

00:57:19.140 These people are so dim-witted and incurious that they can notice a stark, shocking difference 0.99

00:57:24.060 like this, that Japan's cities are clean and safe while ours are garbage dumps, without 1.00

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

00:57:45.000 how and the why.

00:57:46.500 Now, in this case, the how and why are obvious, obvious to anyone who isn't Jimmy Kimmel or

00:57:49.960 one of his liberal friends.

00:57:51.780 Japan is a homogenous country.

00:57:54.160 Now, that might change.

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

00:58:17.520 because Japanese people refuse to have babies. 0.96

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

00:58:24.640 Kimmel was so enraptured by.

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

00:58:45.260 people are also Japanese by ethnicity.

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.

00:59:03.280 They have the highest in the world, in fact.

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 0.99

00:59:17.680 to Japanese culture, and their people generally have much lower IQs. 0.98

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 1.00

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. 0.94

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, 0.76

01:00:20.060 even as he complains that our cities are dirty and disgusting.

01:00:22.620 Which leads to the third point.

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.

01:00:33.260 That toothpaste left the tube a long time ago.

01:00:35.520 But we don't have to live like this.

01:00:38.360 Our cities don't need to be post-apocalyptic wastelands.

01:00:41.460 They can be cleaned up.

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, 1.00

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,

01:01:20.160 putting them in prison with lengthy sentences,

01:01:22.960 strictly enforcing the laws against vandalism, littering, loitering,

01:01:27.640 imposing order with force and severity.

01:01:32.240 That's how you do it.

01:01:34.400 There is no other way to do it.

01:01:36.320 At least there's no other way for us to do it.

01:01:39.020 The Japan option is not on the table,

01:01:40.960 so we're left with doing it the ugly way.

01:01:43.020 And we can clean things up the ugly way.

01:01:48.000 Or we can have an ugly country.

01:01:51.480 Those are the two options.

01:01:53.260 There are no other options for us.

01:01:56.820 Jimmy Kimmel has chosen the latter.

01:01:59.180 He and his liberal friends choose to have an ugly country

01:02:01.920 while complaining that the country is ugly. 0.72

01:02:06.040 That's the problem.

01:02:07.540 And that is why he and they are today canceled.

01:02:11.660 That'll do it for the show today.

01:02:13.280 Thanks for watching.

01:02:13.680 Thanks for listening.

01:02:14.160 Talk to you tomorrow.

01:02:15.020 Good day.

01:02:16.940 Godspeed.

01:02:17.260 We'll be right back.
