Today, The Matt Wall Show, the alleged consensus supporting so-called gender-affirming care
00:00:05.840
This week, a major medical organization has come out and admitted that they do not endorse
00:00:09.380
these procedures, and the evidence supporting the procedures is low quality, they say.
00:00:13.760
Also, the White House struggles to name one single policy achievement of Joe Biden or
00:00:18.640
Tim Walls is finally forced to respond to the stolen valor allegations, and Colin Kaepernick
00:00:23.140
announces that he still wishes to be enslaved by the NFL, if only any team will take him
00:00:28.240
We'll talk about all that and more today on The Matt Wall Show.

00:02:00.460
Consensus is a word that you hear a lot these days.
00:02:03.240
And when you hear it, there's a good chance you're being told to keep quiet about something.
00:02:06.440
For example, you might notice that celebrities are flying an awful lot for people who claim
00:02:12.840
You might find it odd that politicians like Barack Obama are buying up giant seaside properties
00:02:17.300
if they think the oceans are about to rise and wipe entire continents off the face of
00:02:22.060
Then you might notice that average temperatures in your area haven't changed much in the past
00:02:29.860
These kinds of observations might lead you to question whether man-made climate change
00:02:34.340
is really a big deal or if it's even happening at all.
00:02:38.220
And I'm responsibly told that your questions are irrelevant.
00:02:41.120
They're an affront to science, in fact, because a consensus has already been reached among experts.
00:02:48.400
And one of the effects of this kind of consensus is that it signals to everyone else in the
00:02:53.100
field, the experts, so-called, that they need to fall in line immediately.
00:02:57.800
Even if they disagree with the consensus view, they understand that they need to keep quiet
00:03:01.960
or else they'll face professional consequences.
00:03:04.520
So a declaration of consensus can quickly become self-reinforcing.
00:03:08.920
To outsiders, it appears that an entire field is united when really it's not.
00:03:13.800
Again and again, we've heard that there's a consensus among professional medical associations
00:03:22.700
Everyone from the HHS secretary to the ACLU and the DOJ and everyone in between have made
00:03:28.900
that claim repeatedly in state and federal courts, as well as the media and in every other
00:03:35.160
And with a handful of exceptions, virtually all of them overseas, no major professional medical
00:03:40.900
association has stepped up to correct the record and clarify that there, in fact, is no consensus.
00:03:48.060
Well, this week, that trend finally came to an end.
00:03:51.880
So it turns out that all journalists, you know, all they really had to do was ask some professional
00:03:57.700
medical associations about their views on gender surgeries for adolescents.
00:04:01.360
And if they had done that, the facade of consensus would have come crashing down.
00:04:06.560
Well, that's exactly what Lior Sapir, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, decided to do.
00:04:10.880
He reached out to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, or ASPS, which represents more than 11,000
00:04:17.280
members and 90% of the field of plastic surgery across the U.S. and Canada.
00:04:21.920
It is also obviously a field that's deeply involved in gender-related surgeries on both adults and
00:04:28.300
So, you know, their view on this would seem to matter.
00:04:32.140
And Sapir wanted to know what the ASPS thought about so-called gender-affirming care for minors.
00:04:38.320
Well, here's what the Society of Plastic Surgeons sent back.
00:04:42.620
And if you're watching the video, you can see it on the screen.
00:04:45.020
Quote, ASPS has not endorsed any organization's practice recommendations for treatments of adolescents
00:04:53.160
ASPS currently understands that there is a considerable uncertainty as to the long-term efficacy
00:04:57.840
for the use of chest and genital surgical interventions for the treatment of adolescents
00:05:03.280
And the existing evidence base is viewed as low-quality slash low-certainty.
00:05:10.780
So, in other words, there is, in fact, no consensus among major medical organizations about any form
00:05:20.780
And the people that claimed there was a consensus, including the media outlets that claimed there
00:05:26.820
was a consensus, they never even asked these medical organizations whether they agree with
00:05:36.780
They just heard from the other media outlets that there is a consensus, and they were all
00:05:41.880
telling each other about the consensus, and then they went and reported it to the public.
00:05:44.920
And meanwhile, no one turned around and asked all these medical experts what they actually
00:05:52.800
And that's a lie that's been repeated by the Biden administration and the media repeatedly,
00:05:59.760
And again, all it took to establish that it wasn't true is for one fellow at the Manhattan
00:06:04.220
Institute to just ask the Plastic Surgeons Association about this.
00:06:08.740
They apparently weren't going to volunteer the information, because on top of this, they're,
00:06:17.000
But when asked, they're willing to say in writing that they don't endorse any of these alleged
00:06:25.080
That's how flimsy the consensus on these gender experiments really is.
00:06:30.180
Now, this admission from ASPS has massive ramification for procedures that are underway right
00:06:36.700
As City Journal notes, the WPATH standards, which pretty much all major hospitals follow,
00:06:42.340
doesn't specify any strict age minimum for gender surgeries.
00:06:45.600
These are standards that the Biden administration has also defended in federal court.
00:06:49.120
And these standards have been put into practice, apparently, without the endorsement of a major
00:06:53.720
medical association like the ASPS that, again, represents doctors who are the ones who would
00:07:03.380
An analysis by the Manhattan Institute, using data from a national insurance database from
00:07:10.060
2017 to 2023, found evidence that roughly 5,000 to 6,000 double mastectomies have been
00:07:15.560
performed in this country on girls under the age of 18 in the name of so-called gender-affirming
00:07:21.280
And at least 50 of those girls were apparently under the age of 13.
00:07:24.620
And that last part bears repeating because it's so horrific.
00:07:29.540
In dozens of cases, girls under the age of 13 have had their breasts removed in order to
00:07:38.380
So these are numbers that both medical associations and politicians routinely lie about, but they're
00:07:46.600
And if anything, they're undercounting the actual number of these procedures.
00:07:50.100
The insurance database doesn't capture out-of-pocket procedures at all, for example.
00:07:54.320
And in some cases, there's reason to believe that hospitals are coding these procedures to
00:07:59.080
suggest that they're not related to gender dysphoria, even when they clearly are.
00:08:02.960
So the numbers that you're hearing, you should put an asterisk.
00:08:05.940
And really, it's at a minimum, these are the numbers.
00:08:09.300
For instance, as the Manhattan Institute notes, there's been a nearly seven-fold increase in the
00:08:15.960
number of so-called non-binary mastectomies that have been performed on minors from 2017 to 2023.
00:08:21.500
And these are mastectomies that are intended to make the patient look non-binary, whatever
00:08:27.300
It means that these are girls having their bodies permanently surgically altered to look
00:08:32.360
roughly more masculine, even though these girls don't even actually identify as boys.
00:08:38.480
They identify as some other category with no clear definition at all.
00:08:46.220
The number of these procedures went from 70 in 2017 all the way up to 470 last year.
00:08:54.040
And City Journal found that, quote, plastic surgeons who perform these procedures leverage
00:08:58.180
the existing billing code for breast reduction, a practice some might argue amounts to insurance
00:09:03.420
Based on this new revelation from ASPS, insurance fraud might be the least of these doctors'
00:09:11.880
These procedures could also potentially amount to massive jury verdicts and settlements for
00:09:16.420
medical malpractice and even intentional fraud, which isn't covered by most providers' insurance
00:09:21.760
That's because consensus is actually a critical concept in medicine.
00:09:25.640
If a doctor treats a patient and ends up harming the patient, it's still very hard to sue the
00:09:31.060
doctor if he can demonstrate that he was following an established standard of care that everybody
00:09:37.440
But if the doctor goes rogue and disregards the view of major medical associations like, say,
00:09:43.520
the ASPS, then there's potentially a lot more liability at play.
00:09:47.860
As malpractice lawyer Kevin Keller told City Journal, medical providers could potentially
00:09:53.160
be looking at more than $10 million in liability for each individual case involving these gender
00:09:58.180
procedures, money they'd likely have to pay out of pocket.
00:10:01.240
So this is an existential threat to this entire fraudulent industry.
00:10:06.640
And it's a threat that's becoming much more pronounced lately.
00:10:09.580
For several months now, there have been other signs that the House of Cards, that is gender
00:10:15.300
affirming care, quote unquote, is about to come crashing down.
00:10:18.920
There was the CAST report to the National Health Service in England, which found that there's
00:10:23.380
no good evidence justifying any common interventions concerning gender identity.
00:10:28.600
Then there was the ruling in the Sixth Circuit Court upholding Tennessee's ban on the castration
00:10:32.980
of children over the objections of the Biden administration and the ACLU.
00:10:36.960
There were also the leaked WPATH files, which exposed internal communications, which WPATH
00:10:41.620
officials admitted that they didn't know what they were doing in many of these cases or
00:10:48.460
And there was the declaration from the American College of Pediatricians, a relatively small
00:10:51.980
group, which called on all major medical organizations to stop the promotion of social affirmation,
00:10:57.700
puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries for children and adolescents who experienced
00:11:06.960
All of these developments have taken place in the last year.
00:11:11.620
So that's how quickly the alleged consensus in this field of, quote unquote, gender affirming
00:11:20.560
It's just completely shattered on the floor at this point.
00:11:23.440
Even as the number of people who might seek to access these procedures is increasing.
00:11:29.760
Gallup just found that nearly 8% of adults currently identify as LGBTQ+, which is a significant
00:11:39.540
And as the Postmillennial reports, many of these new additions to the alphabet umbrella are
00:11:44.480
Quote, for each generation, a person is about twice as likely to identify as LGBTQ as opposed
00:11:51.320
And of course, many of these young people, particularly the ones who identify as transgender, are very
00:11:56.700
likely to seek out hormones, surgery, puberty blockers, or some combination of those things.
00:12:02.380
This is a trend that's only possible because of a manufactured, artificial, totally fraudulent
00:12:13.560
It's a social contagion that has depended on the silence of people who know better.
00:12:19.460
And with the statement this week from the Plastic Surgeons Association, as unlikely as it was,
00:12:23.720
any pretense of a consensus is now gone completely.
00:12:28.900
It has been demolished as if it never existed because it didn't.
00:12:43.940
Don't waste the precious little time you have with mind-numbing TV shows or the latest TikTok
00:12:49.640
Instead, use that time to learn something new and inspiring with Hillsdale College.
00:12:54.820

00:13:47.660
This is from a couple of days ago, but I think it's worth talking about briefly.
00:13:51.880
The Daily Wire reports, White House Press Secretary Karen Jean-Pierre came up empty when asked
00:13:56.040
by a reporter on Monday to name a specific policy achieved by Vice President Kamala Harris.
00:14:01.040
Harris, who has yet to hold a press conference since becoming the Democratic nominee, has been
00:14:04.780
slammed for her record on the border crisis after being tasked by President Joe Biden to
00:14:10.180
The Vice President held numerous rallies over the past week, but has not put forward a campaign
00:14:15.840
platform, even with the DNC just one week away.
00:14:19.880
So Karen Jean-Pierre has asked, just like, what are some of her achievements, actual policy
00:14:29.820
What does the President see as the Vice President's biggest achievement during their time in office
00:14:36.920
So look, because they've been partners, those achievements have been done, certainly those
00:14:41.540
historic, unprecedented achievements have been done together.
00:14:44.220
I'll say this, the President believes in the Vice President's leadership, her temperament,
00:14:49.760
And he is, and he has said this himself, one of the proudest decisions that he made in 2020
00:14:58.020
was selecting her as Vice President because he believed that she can move, can go on day
00:15:02.600
And you've seen that, you've seen them do that together on day one of this administration.
00:15:09.500
I'm, I'm not going to parse out anything from here.
00:15:14.820
She's been a critical partner for this President, for, for during this term, and will continue
00:15:21.740
You will see them together on Thursday in Maryland, where they would talk about their
00:15:26.320
next announcement on lowering costs for the American people.
00:15:35.300
So it's actually pretty incredible that the fact that she can't name any specific policy
00:15:45.140
And the reporter who asked it wasn't even trying to trip her up.
00:15:50.740
He says, oh, so it's more of a comprehensive hold then, you would say.
00:15:58.840
So he didn't see this as an embarrassing question.
00:16:05.800
And, and it is a softball, but she still whiffed on it because there's, there are no policy
00:16:12.620
Um, so she's like, you know, it's like a performance review with a lazy, redundant
00:16:19.140
employee who just sits at his desk and stares at the wall all day.
00:16:22.440
So you can ask, what have you been doing for the past six months on the job?
00:16:26.900
Oh, you know, well, look, I'm not going to parse out all the things I do every day.
00:16:32.500
It would be impossible to describe every detail.
00:16:35.060
I mean, there's so many details of so many things I've done, but, you know, I, I've, I've, I've, I've, you know, I'm working, I'm laboring, exerting, toiling, if you will, doing my tasks, performing my duties, completing my assignments, working on my projects, working on my, my, my work.
00:16:54.860
I've been very productive, uh, producing products and, you know, that's Karen Jean Perry.
00:17:06.780
But she's also so bad at it and yet she got the job anyway.
00:17:12.420
And it still comes down to the fact that there are no policy achievements at all, even while the media, uh, tries to wildly overcompensate for this fact, but for the fact that they haven't achieved anything, wildly overcompensates by, by saying that not only has the Biden administration achieved things,
00:17:30.420
but it is actually the most legislatively accomplished presidential administration in American history, potentially, or modern American history.
00:17:40.120
You know, the most accomplished administration in the last 100 years, you hear stuff like that.
00:17:46.160
And if that were the case, then it should be pretty easy to say, oh, okay, well, the most accomplished, well, can you just give me one or two?
00:17:58.500
Uh, and, uh, Kamala Harris is not going to put herself in a position where she has to answer that question, which is why she has done no press conferences, uh, done no real interviews where she's going to be asked real questions at all.
00:18:17.320
Meanwhile, I just saw, and I, I, I think that this is true, that, uh, Donald Trump is, from what I saw just on Twitter a second ago,
00:18:26.680
has announced another press conference that he's going to do, uh, tomorrow or some, at some point this week.
00:18:44.000
He was just talking to Elon Musk on Twitter for like two hours.
00:18:51.040
And of course they were with the, with the Elon Musk and Donald Trump conversation, of course, people on the left were saying, oh, it's a, that's a softball.
00:19:05.760
Oh, so you mean literally every time a Democrat politician talks to anyone in the corporate media?
00:19:11.500
And even so, even when you're talking to somebody ideologically aligned, the two hours is a long time to have a conversation.
00:19:21.040
I'd love to see Kamala Harris even pick the most friendly interviewer in the world.
00:19:24.800
They're all friendly to you in the corporate media.
00:19:30.440
Because it doesn't matter how much they're on your side.
00:19:32.880
It's just like you, over two hours, you have to, you can't avoid answering questions for two hours.
00:19:44.900
And now I guess he has another press conference coming up.
00:19:47.200
I'm probably in the minority among conservatives.
00:19:49.460
I don't think that Trump should do any more press conferences.
00:19:53.240
Like why put yourself in a position where you're allowing a hostile press to take free shots at you?
00:20:00.000
If your opponent isn't doing any press conferences at all?
00:20:03.400
Like she's not going to do any and you're going to keep, you're going to do one a week?
00:20:08.680
Now I understand you're drawing a contrast here.
00:20:13.780
Like it's pretty clear that Trump is willing to go out there and talk to people.
00:20:21.900
It has been very clearly illustrated to anyone who's willing to notice it.
00:20:27.260
I don't think you have to keep doing the press conferences though and allow the media to just like keep taking shots at you like that.
00:20:35.540
If you're running against someone who's just going to hide away in her basement until it's time to get up and give prepared remarks at a rally.
00:20:45.860
All right, Walls, Tim Walls finally sort of responded to the stolen valor charges.
00:20:52.240
Then in 2005, I felt the call of duty again, this time being serviced to my country in the halls of Congress.
00:21:00.040
My students inspired me to run for that office.
00:21:05.040
I was a member of the Veterans Affairs Committee and a champion of our men and women in uniform.
00:21:19.160
And I firmly believe you should never denigrate another person's service record.
00:21:30.320
Anyone brave enough to put on that uniform for our great country, including my opponent?
00:21:44.120
I mean, he claims that his service record is being denigrated, which is that's like if I claim that I was an astronaut who went to the moon and a real astronaut came by and said, no, you didn't.
00:21:58.560
You've never even like seen a rocket ship in real life, much less been on one.
00:22:18.480
It wouldn't make sense for me to accuse you of not being an astronaut because you are.
00:22:23.300
So they're not denigrating Tim Walls and his record as a as a combat veteran.
00:22:37.740
They're denigrating him for saying that he is one when he isn't.
00:22:42.540
Which is actually kind of like the opposite of denigrating, you know, veterans and someone's military service record.
00:22:52.880
It's a respect for people in the military when you take it seriously that someone's lying about it.
00:22:59.600
So that's that's what they're going to go with anyway.
00:23:03.460
But I think the fact that Tim Walls feels the need to address this at all shows that it is.
00:23:10.080
You know, that this attack, this attack, which is simply which is true, pointing out that he's guilty of stolen valor.
00:23:20.480
Which is certainly what he'd prefer to do if he could.
00:23:24.420
Also want to play this on the subject of Tim Walls.
00:23:26.560
Here's Lisa Hansen, a small business owner in Minnesota who was shut down and eventually arrested by Tim Walls during COVID.
00:23:41.760
And in the state of Minnesota, my business, so it was located in the state of Minnesota, southern Minnesota.
00:23:51.660
And it had been an operation for going on eight years by the time that my business was shut down and destroyed.
00:23:59.980
And when I say it was destroyed, I'm speaking of the being shuttered and not being able to survive that because of what Tim Walls, Governor Tim Walls and Attorney General Keith Ellison did to me and to my business, as well as our employees.
00:24:15.380
And so what happened is with the first shutdown, we didn't really know what to do, what was going on, and we did comply.
00:24:22.020
And I hate to say that, you know, looking back at everything I've stood for, but we did comply because we didn't know what else to do.
00:24:29.020
He never fully opened up the state to point this out.
00:24:33.320
Governor Walz shut down only some of the businesses.
00:24:38.640
So I guess that means that we were a non-essential business, but so he shut down bars, restaurants, gyms, dance studios, hair salons, et cetera.
00:24:53.520
Who were the essential business owners that would have been your big box stores with hundreds and hundreds of people coming to visit through their doors a day, mingling and being close?
00:25:10.180
I can't tell you for sure how long we were open, but immediately within 24 to 48 hours, the state came down on us with a vengeance.
00:25:19.600
They attacked me, a woman small business owner, as well as other small business owners in the state of Minnesota.
00:25:31.660
They employed all of their resources against we, the people.
00:25:40.040
I was given a sentence to 90 days, which was the max sentencing.
00:25:44.280
And I was also fined $1,000, which was the max fine for this supposed thing that I did where I was standing on my rights.
00:25:54.200
So that's how much Tim Wall supports small business owners, how much he supports female business owners, that he arrested one, not just one, but this one, along with many others, for the crime of opening their business and trying to make money to feed their families.
00:26:13.580
And this is the same guy, remember, who said, mind your own business.
00:26:18.540
Anyone who attacks him, mind your own business.
00:26:21.540
Well, you certainly weren't minding your own business when Lisa Hansen tried to open her store and, God forbid, make some money to take care of her family.
00:26:32.220
And this is the most depressing thing about this.
00:26:35.120
And this is maybe one of the most, as the kids would say, one of the most black-pilling things.
00:26:43.400
I don't know if the kids are carrying on that torch or not.
00:26:45.980
But anyway, black pill is the fact that COVID and everything that happened during COVID and the lockdowns and everything, the fact that it seems to be politically irrelevant at this point, which rewind the clock for years when COVID was all that was happening in the world.
00:27:10.240
And it had totally taken over all of our lives.
00:27:17.120
Whether we liked it or not, and none of us did, totally taken over all of our lives.
00:27:26.800
And if you could rewind the clock back three or four years and someone had told you that in the next election, in 2024, this won't matter at all.
00:27:42.400
Like, no one's going to care about any of this.
00:27:46.380
And all the people responsible for doing it, responsible for this, people doing this to you, they'll face no political ramifications whatsoever.
00:27:57.800
If anyone had told you that four years ago, you wouldn't have believed it.
00:28:09.580
Because this was not, this is not ancient history.
00:28:15.420
And if, if this is now irrelevant, the fact that he was putting business owners in jail for opening their business, if we allow that to be completely politically irrelevant, then, I don't know, shame on us.
00:28:36.060
Caitlin Collins is an anchor at CNN, was on Stephen Colbert's show for some reason.
00:28:39.820
I have no idea why a CNN anchor was a guest on The Late Show, but she was.
00:28:44.960
It's hard to imagine a more boring, less entertaining guest, but there she was.
00:28:49.100
And actually, something entertaining did happen, much to the chagrin of both Colbert and Collins.
00:28:56.440
Trump has kind of been thrown on his heels by this, and he's not really sure how to go after Vice President Harris.
00:29:05.220
He really has struggled with how to, how to go after someone who's 20 years younger than him, who is a different gender, a different race.
00:29:11.900
It's kind of been this moment where he has not been able to coalesce around a single attack line.
00:29:18.160
I know you guys are objective over there, that you just report the news as it is.
00:29:35.360
Colbert calls CNN objective and the audience laughs.
00:29:38.720
The audience isn't even laughing maliciously or sarcastically.
00:29:46.680
They assumed quite fairly that someone would only say that if they meant to be funny.
00:29:51.860
And that was probably the first laugh they got the whole show.
00:29:56.600
It's like Stephen Colbert does not say funny things very often.
00:30:02.120
They said, finally, a moment of levity in this comedy show.
00:30:07.420
And because in their minds, hearing someone say CNN is objective, it's like hearing someone say,
00:30:28.660
The more interesting thing to me is that Colbert didn't realize that the audience would find the comment funny.
00:30:37.160
In his world, CNN actually is an objective news source.
00:30:47.200
Imagine how delusional, how ensconced in your own bubble,
00:30:51.080
you have to be to see CNN as anything but a propaganda outlet.
00:30:54.900
Even if Colbert himself likes CNN, how does he not realize how everyone else sees it?
00:31:04.060
I mean, we use the phrase out of touch a lot, but here it really applies.
00:31:10.260
Just it cannot be overstated, the degree to which they are out of touch.
00:31:16.580
And everybody's in their own bubbles to a certain extent, you could say.
00:31:19.840
I'm surrounded by lots of conservative people all the time.
00:31:23.720
So I have my own bubble in that sense, just like we all do.
00:31:28.000
But I'm exposed enough to other perspectives that I know how the left thinks.
00:31:36.460
I know, for instance, that if I was in front of a crowd that included liberals,
00:31:40.100
it would be a laugh line for me to say that Fox News is the most objective cable news channel.
00:31:50.640
It would not surprise me for people to laugh at that.
00:31:52.880
I understand that that's how Fox News is perceived, especially in the liberal world.
00:31:59.160
Now, I happen to believe that Fox News actually is the most objective and the fairest of all the cable news channels,
00:32:11.660
Yet, I know that to about half the country, such a claim is seen as downright hysterical.
00:32:19.360
And it's amazing that someone like Stephen Colbert doesn't have that level of understanding.
00:32:27.880
Which also explains why his show just isn't funny.
00:32:34.600
And it's the contempt he has for people that he disagrees with politically.
00:32:40.620
But even more than the contempt, it's just he doesn't understand most of the country.
00:32:51.620
It's hard to make comedy that appeals to most of the country and is funny to most of the country
00:32:56.840
if you don't understand the people that you're talking to.
00:33:03.220
Recently, Elliot Page, the artist formerly known as Ellen Page, sat down for a little interview
00:33:10.100
with a publication called Them for an interview series called Queer Roots.
00:33:14.800
And I want to play this about a minute-long clip of Paige talking about her first, quote,
00:33:24.460
And there's a fact that a lot we can kind of glean from this and learn from this, but here it is.
00:33:30.660
If I really, really think back, it was probably the older sister in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
00:33:47.860
This actually is not to be like my book, the barf, but I do write about it in my book.
00:33:53.240
I mean, who doesn't love Honey, I Shrunk the Kids just as a cinematic masterpiece, of course.
00:34:07.120
Like, the whole sequence with the sprinklers and the...
00:34:11.480
I mean, really quite a stunning motion picture.
00:34:15.060
Well, she's really pretty, you know, really gorgeous.
00:34:22.920
There was some flannel action, and the character was so caring and thoughtful.
00:34:31.220
Yeah, I guess, like, clearly moved me and captivated me.
00:34:47.760
Now, I find this clip interesting and quite tragic and quite sad, because it shows in just 60 seconds why you cannot escape your true sex, your true biological identity.
00:34:59.860
Paige has obviously had surgeries and taken drugs and gone out and purchased a new wardrobe to try to present herself as a man.
00:35:09.620
Like, she doesn't even come within a mile of looking, sounding, presenting as a man.
00:35:14.180
I mean, nobody, not one person, no one, sees her as a man.
00:35:30.040
She has not succeeded in capturing any aspect of manhood at all.
00:35:38.220
She transitioned from an attractive woman to a mutilated woman who sounds like she has chronic laryngitis.
00:35:49.480
And it goes deeper than the looks and the voice, because listen to what she's saying.
00:35:54.600
If you could put aside the appearance and the sound of the person who was doing the talking here, just to show you how much of a woman she still is,
00:36:05.360
that even if you read, you didn't see any of the visuals, you didn't hear any of it, you just read that interview.
00:36:18.540
You would immediately know, oh, that's a woman speaking.
00:36:20.700
Just from the text, just from the content of what she's saying.
00:36:26.560
Even though she's talking about being attracted to a woman.
00:36:30.580
But from the way she talks about it, you would read that and know, oh yeah, that's definitely, that's like, that's a lesbian woman talking for sure.
00:36:39.380
Even though it doesn't really make any sense, like why is this her queer crush?
00:36:43.840
If she is a heterosexual male, which is what we're told, then that wasn't a queer crush at all, right?
00:36:54.600
But, be that as it may, even the phrases she uses, the way she speaks, the way she sees the world, it's all very womanly, very feminine.
00:37:05.900
Okay, so she catches herself promoting her book and says, ew, barf.
00:37:10.760
No man in the history of mandom has ever said, ew, barf.
00:37:16.980
I defy you, I defy you to find me one man who's ever used that phrase.
00:37:26.240
And then, while trying to explain why she had a crush on this girl from the movie,
00:37:31.240
first she kind of like sheepishly calls her pretty.
00:37:33.680
You know, because men are always shy about saying that girls are pretty.
00:37:45.720
Because, you know, men, when they're talking about like celebrities and actresses that they think are hot,
00:37:49.080
they don't want to, they feel a little embarrassed to say it out loud.
00:38:07.720
But no man in history has ever been describing a woman that he finds attractive.
00:38:11.240
And in, in, in, as part of that description, uses the phrase, oh, she's got that flannel action.
00:38:21.700
Yeah, dude, that, you know, that girl, she's real hot.
00:38:24.240
She's got that, she's, listen, she's got that flannel action.
00:38:31.280
And then, and then most of all, she talks about how the character was caring and thoughtful.
00:38:36.980
You know, just like dudes always say, that's a guy thing for sure.
00:38:39.740
Just one of the bros, one of the bros, you know, you know,
00:38:44.040
whenever a guy's commenting on an actress that they find attractive,
00:38:46.900
the first thing they always say is that it's because she's caring and thoughtful.
00:39:02.380
asked them what actress they find attractive and they say,
00:39:10.600
They would definitely say, oh, dude, it's because she's,
00:39:22.580
So now, of course, we can joke about it, but it's, it's really tragic.
00:39:28.860
Ellen Page is still Ellen Page through and through.
00:39:31.300
She's still very much a woman, fully, fully a woman.
00:39:37.760
But she's a woman who's been destroyed and will never be the same again.
00:39:43.360
Which is also why you notice the other thing that's very revealing about the Ellen Page,
00:39:48.860
now Elliot Page story, is that, and this is an interesting fact, isn't it?
00:39:53.740
That Elliot Page has never been cast as the male lead in a film.
00:40:07.000
As far as I know, and maybe the show she's on right now,
00:40:17.040
But if, if Elliot Page is a man all the way through, then
00:40:27.780
And like an action film or any kind of film, a drama.
00:40:35.060
It's never going to happen because nobody could watch that and take that seriously.
00:40:41.800
I don't care you got pronouns in your bio, your trans acceptance, you fly the trans flight.
00:40:48.160
You know and I know that you could never watch a movie with quote unquote Elliot Page starring as the male lead.
00:41:01.500
You have to have a certain amount of that watching any movie.
00:41:10.200
And you get to a certain point where it's like, I can't.
00:41:13.280
No, it's, it's just, it's, maybe if it's like a slapstick, absurdist comedy, maybe you could get away with it.
00:41:26.840
Because every single person in the world, like I'm making a point about Ellen Page that will be treated as, just like anyone else who said similar things.
00:41:41.060
It's treated as controversial, provocative, and that sort of thing.
00:41:46.380
But it's actually, everything I've said about Ellen Page, every single person listening to this right now or who will ever see this clip agrees with it.
00:41:59.100
The only difference is that some of us are willing to say out loud what we know is true.
00:42:16.840
This pageant that she is putting on, pretending to be a man.
00:42:24.580
I say that not as an insult, but as a, it's like, it is pathetic.
00:42:36.240
About half of us are willing to say it out loud.
00:42:38.120
The other half is, you know, has decided to play along with the charade.
00:42:46.340
The white guys who brought you What is a Woman are back with our next big question for America.
00:42:54.100
I went deep undercover as a certified DEI expert.
00:42:56.600
Let me tell you, it's even more absurd than you'd imagine.
00:42:59.340
You'll be shocked at how far these race hustlers go.
00:43:01.800
How much further I had to go then to expose them all.
00:43:09.840
Well, because the more tickets we sell now, the more theaters that will show it.
00:43:13.760
We're fighting the left with every ticket purchase.
00:43:17.560
Remember, the only way to take DEI seriously is to seriously laugh at it.
00:43:29.240
When we last heard from Colin Kaepernick, he was publicly throwing his adoptive parents
00:43:39.680
under the bus for being white and therefore racist.
00:43:42.900
He was also appearing in videos that directly compared playing in the NFL to slavery, only
00:43:47.920
to turn around and beg NFL teams to hire him just a few months later.
00:43:50.960
This is one of those side-by-side clips that it's worth re-watching for a couple of reasons.
00:43:56.080
One of them is that it's hilarious and never gets old.
00:43:59.020
The other is that, like everybody else in the country, you've probably forgotten all about
00:44:03.740
this clip because you've wiped everything related to Colin Kaepernick from memory.
00:44:08.300
So just to refresh our memories, here's a little side-by-side comparison clip.
00:44:16.240
They don't want you to understand is what's being established is a power dynamic.
00:44:24.300
Before they put you on the field, teams poke, pride, and examine you, searching for any defect
00:45:18.560
We want to make sure that we come out, we show everyone I can still play, still throw
00:45:23.020
it, and really just looking for an opportunity for a door to open, to have that be a pathway
00:45:31.120
to be able to get back in there, get a starting job, and lead a team to a championship.
00:45:38.020
But if there's an NFL scout, any member of an NFL organization watching you today, what
00:45:42.940
is your message directly to them after the years that you have been off the, on the, off
00:45:53.660
Look, we're really just out here trying to get, trying to become slaves.
00:45:59.300
You know, really, really just looking to be a slave.
00:46:01.860
And listen, my message to teams out there is, I want to be your slave.
00:46:14.420
Just get me up on that auction block, and I'm there.
00:46:23.800
I'll defeat all the other slaves in the slave competition.
00:46:30.460
I could still be, I still could be one of the best slaves that's in, of all of slavedom.
00:46:41.760
Now, when I posted this video on Twitter a couple of years ago,
00:46:44.520
even Kaepernick's defenders were stunned by the utter shamelessness of it.
00:46:48.620
There's really no way to come back from a clip like that.
00:46:51.180
Once you compare a career in the NFL to being a slave,
00:46:54.800
you can't turn around and say that you really want to play in the league again and be a slave.
00:46:59.120
People will tolerate a lot of hypocrisy these days, but that's a bit much for most people.
00:47:04.800
And it was around this point that BLM types started to realize
00:47:07.640
what everybody knew for a long time, which is that everything about Colin Kaepernick is fake.
00:47:12.200
He's the single greatest con artist to ever play in the NFL.
00:47:15.080
He's the greatest con artist in the history of professional sports.
00:47:20.140
And the rest of us began focusing on things that are more important than Colin Kaepernick,
00:47:23.440
which is a list that is quite literally endless.
00:47:28.080
He did not retreat into obscurity to preserve whatever dignity he might have left.
00:47:32.440
Instead, apparently, he set his sights on rejoining the NFL.
00:47:36.180
That's what Kaep says he's been doing for the last two years,
00:47:38.420
trying to get back into the league that dumped him nearly eight years ago
00:47:44.700
So here's an interview with him from just this week.
00:47:58.560
So hopefully we just got to get one of these team owners to open up.
00:48:08.560
I mean, it's something I've trained my whole life for.
00:48:10.660
So to be able to step back on the field, I think that would be a major moment,
00:48:17.460
Also, I think it's something that I could bring a lot to a team
00:48:23.440
It'd be a major moment to step back into being a slave again.
00:48:27.220
Get back out on the plantation would be a major moment.
00:48:31.480
Major moment for me, major moment for the plantation.
00:48:40.720
And this is a quarterback who hasn't thrown a pass in an NFL game
00:48:47.340
He's training every day to play professional football,
00:48:49.620
which at this point is just as delusional as me training every day
00:48:55.900
We've reached a stage of this story where Kaepernick is playing very much
00:48:59.480
the role of like an obsessive ex-girlfriend still pining after a man
00:49:04.000
who got married, had kids, hasn't thought about her in a decade.
00:49:06.960
If he wasn't such an obnoxious narcissist, you might even feel some pity for him.
00:49:11.780
In the same way that you might feel pity for like a tone-deaf singer
00:49:14.700
embarrassing himself during an American Idol audition.
00:49:18.000
But Kaepernick is an obnoxious narcissist, in fact.
00:49:21.260
So, and he doesn't actually believe anything that he says.
00:49:25.220
He doesn't believe when he says the NFL is like slavery,
00:49:28.760
just like he doesn't actually believe the police are racist.
00:49:32.140
Kaepernick is a fraud who only knows how to do one thing,
00:49:34.540
which is to say the right things at the right time to maximize his relevance
00:49:40.660
At least historically, he's been good at that at least.
00:49:45.060
He's a bad storyteller at a time when bad storytellers,
00:49:50.260
And as if to point, to put as fine a point on that as possible,
00:49:55.180
that promises to help creators tell fictional stories.
00:50:00.440
But Colin Kaepernick, like Google and ChatGPT before him,
00:50:06.700
He actually pushes his new company in the same interview
00:50:09.380
where he says he wants to get back into the NFL.
00:50:28.880
help them publish them, help them merchandise them,
00:50:40.520
That last line sounds like more of a threat than a promise.
00:50:44.200
Our vision is every individual creator being like Disney.
00:50:48.720
We can have total uniformity in all cultural output.
00:50:51.720
Even the work of independent small-time creators
00:51:14.680
Now, apparently, a lot of venture capital firms
00:51:37.240
that doesn't recognize the existence of white people.
